I've already reached the top level, so I only need to gain proficiency

It takes an hour and a half to get to the Juxiang Media building from the airport.

in the car.

Qian Jida's expression was ferocious.

It gives people the feeling that they are about to scold a bitch.

In fact, Qian Jida felt a little anxious after receiving a call from Zhou Wanming yesterday.

As the company's gold medal agent, he naturally has already made the company's next choice.

It's not that he gave up on Sumu, but because this is what any artist has to face before his contract is about to expire, the so-called adjustment of the company's operating strategy.

In fact, they are all high-sounding reasons.

Unless Su Mu renews his contract in advance and is completely tied to the company, resources will gradually be allocated.

Capable artists may be able to open their own studios and work alone after fulfilling their contracts.

But some people who have not climbed up, have no background, and have no financial connections have to continue to rely on the company.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to continue working for the company.

It’s not that Juxiang’s methods are despicable, it’s just the operating rules of the entertainment business.

There will never be a company that is willing to watch as it spends several years packaging and cultivating the top stars, and finally makes wedding dresses for others.

Of course, it is not without a big pattern.

But the premise is that both parties must establish mutual trust and satisfy the interests of both parties.

The atmosphere in the car was a bit suffocating at this time.

Across the seats, Su Mu could feel Qian Jida's anger.

Su Mu: "Mr. Qian, don't get excited. In fact, I don't think it's that big of a deal. Isn't it just an ancient puppet? After I film Director Zhang's film, are we still worried about not getting a film contract?"

"Isn't it?" Qian Jida shook his head, and his mustache, which was not in the mood to shave in the morning, was twitching: "I think it's very serious! I can't swallow this breath!"

Su Mu: "..."

Xiaoju: "..."

Why am I the mother?

Qian Jida: "You should be more careful, Su Mu. You don't know how difficult it is to survive in the entertainment industry now, right? It's almost too hard to earn more than 100 million a year. This would have been at least in the golden age of the past two years." Add a 0!

Therefore, in this industry now, there is no distinction between me and me, but everyone is at war, and everyone is a competitive enemy!

As soon as the front foot has left, the back foot will rush you and replace our originally determined roles. Do you think this is a human thing? "

Su Mu laughed twice.

He naturally knows the problem Qian Jida mentioned. The entertainment industry makes money, but it is not as profitable as before.

Otherwise, many celebrities would not go to live broadcasts to bring goods and compete for food with Internet celebrities.

Thinking about it, it is indeed difficult to move forward.

If you can't make 200 million in a year, it's a waste of time.

Su Mu: "But after all, this is Zhou Wanming's decision. After all, he is still the boss. When we get to the company, we still have to talk calmly."

Qian Jida: "Huh, I'm not blaming him, but that Li Hui! I know this person best. I know how to eat from the bowl and look at the pot all day long, and do a lot of things to pry resources from my own people. Dry.

I guess this time he went to Zhou Wanming to ask for the eighty percentile score, but Zhou Wanming is also very good at doing things now, so he actually agreed? This is clearly bullying!

Moreover, your contract still has more than two years left, so you can still play now, even if there are operational adjustments, that is not now! "

Su Mu: "Mr. Qian, actually if you think about it carefully, we can't make much money from this company's ancient puppets. It only costs seven or eight million, and we have to deduct some expenses and taxes. It's thankless."

Qian Jida: "But this is not about money, this is about our status in the company. Now I can't wait to use you to bring in new people. What do they think?"

Or do you mean that you don't take Qian Jida seriously at all?

You are my artist! I am responsible for everything about you. If you don’t make money, I am responsible. If your resources are robbed, it is even more my responsibility! "

Su Mu was deeply moved after listening to Qian Jida's words.

Although Qian Jida usually feels like a girl, he even calls himself "my mother" sometimes when he gets excited.

But when something really happens, you can really see his courage and sense of responsibility as a veteran agent.

In fact, when a celebrity looks for an agent, in addition to looking at his network resources and public relations capabilities, more importantly, he also depends on whether the agent can handle things.

An agent is a good agent who has the right heart, good conduct, and does not shirk when things happen.

Even if you are greedy for a little money, you can get it in a wise way and there is no harm in it.

After all, in today's society, besides making money, what else is left?

Su Mu: "Mr. Qian, please calm down first and listen to me. In fact, I have watched this ancient puppet and I really don't have to act in it. To be honest, the drama our company has invested in will most likely be a failure."

Qian Jida was stunned when he heard this: "Is this drama going to be a hit? What do you mean? Even if you act in it, it will be a hit?"

Su Mu nodded and said, "Really, you have to trust my intuition about the market. After all, I have been a professional in costume idol dramas for the past two years, so I know best what is popular with the audience now."

Qian Jida: "Are you too heavy-handed in your acting? Impossible, and the current trend is, isn't it the popular kind of 'sweet petted ancient doll'? The man is a prince, the woman is a concubine, and then the two meet and fall in love with each other. Giving out candy, isn’t it?”

Su Mu smiled and shook his head: "This has been the trend in the past two years. Although the ancient doll's sweet pet is important, it is not the core element.

The company bought the copyright of the novel, and I have read the revised script before. The plot is bland, without any twists and turns, and the content is also very childish. If this kind of drama is not supported by top-notch actors, it will be difficult to sell it. "

Qian Jida: "...Um, go on."

Su Mu: “The audience’s level of appreciation for the recently popular ancient puppets is also increasing. Therefore, they must not only be sweet pets, but also have an excellent plot content structure to support the ancient costumes. Otherwise, the audience will definitely not be able to enjoy them in the next one to two years. You will love watching this kind of brainless ancient puppet.

Therefore, whoever acts in the company's script will be the biggest enemy. Moreover, it is a single-platform online drama. The traffic is very small, so there is no need to waste time on it.

If you really want to find an ancient puppet to play the role, it must be a big production and have an absolutely attractive plot. Otherwise, this kind of lukewarm thing will be in vain. "

Qian Jida was stunned for a moment by what Su Mu said.

"You guys can do that. Your judgment on the market is more professional than mine?"

Sumu shrugged.

In fact, this kind of thing is not because of how professional he is, but because of his experience after watching countless ancient puppet online dramas in his previous life.

Almost every year, the costume dramas are a mixed bag, including fantasy and fairy tales where heroes and gods fight.

But those who can often stand out and completely blow up the entire network and sweep all major viewing platforms must be excellent in multiple dimensions.

That is,

The actors are handsome enough, the flow is strong enough, the emotions are both sweet and sad, and the plot content of the script is good enough, the suspense is flawless, the villain is not brainless, the daily life is not toxic, the heroine must be a good character, and the director and the crew are It takes enough care to make the details.

Only those who can accomplish the above will stand out.

Otherwise, if your fan base is as strong as a vindictive horse, you will be disliked by the audience even if you have the wings of Victoria's Secret.

Qian Jida: "What you said does make sense, but good scripts are hard to come by. If you can get one or two in a year or two, it's a big deal, and the competition will be fierce."

Su Mu smiled and said nothing.

Costume scripts...that doesn't exist, does it?

There is no need to do too much. If you really want to do it, write "Nirvana in Fire" and defeat those stupid ancient puppets.

Of course, that kind of sticky and sugary fairy would also work, such as "Zhu Xian" and "Three Lives Three Worlds"...

The filming will make those young ladies cry for a whole year.

Steal my resources?

Sumu hehe.

I am just a resource library, you want to play with me?

Sorry, from now on in the costume drama circle, there will be a place where I, Su Mu, will be.

You all have to keep a low profile for me!
