Super Topic # : Is Sumu’s new movie really about football? / Can Sumu be selected for the national team?
No surprise.
Sumu’s popularity began to explode.
But it is obvious that the team’s victory does not seem to be discussed much.
On the contrary, he talked about his next new play in front of reporters, which made people more curious.
Football-themed works are actually rare in China, and the market response is not particularly enthusiastic.
The main reason is that the performance of this sport has been at the bottom for many years, so over time, it has not been recognized by the audience.
After all, any movie needs to reflect reality. If a powerful character is portrayed in depth and the team is taken to the world, it seems full of passion, but in the end, when it returns to reality, it can’t even get a World Cup ticket and makes a fool of itself. Just think about it and you know how it will be criticized.
Therefore, in the eyes of many netizens, football should perhaps be classified as science fiction.
And it seems that Su Mu is planning to do so.
[Is Su Mu going to return to the film industry? What about his national team? Please stop making trouble, it's just getting up! ]
[What's the matter, there is still time for the World Cup, it won't delay, and Su Mu's brother is in the film and television industry, is it wrong to come back? ]
[He said that he broke out of Asia, is it just to gain traffic and make money at the box office? ]
[I don't think so. Have you ever seen a star do this to make money at the box office? If so, I think it's okay to give him a movie ticket? ]
[Anyway, I am looking forward to his work. No one has dared to touch football themes for a long time. Do you understand the value of this? ]

…
…
Galactic City, airport.
After the league is over, Su Mu naturally doesn't need to go to the club for training.
The rest period until the internal selection list of the national team is released is very sufficient.
It is enough for him to prepare for the next movie.
Master Zhu had been waiting at the airport for a long time. The luxury RV was wiped clean and shiny. After so long, it still looks the same as when it was just bought.
In the car, Qian Jida held his mobile phone and said, "You have been very popular recently, and many people know that you are going to make a new movie, so the company's mailbox is about to burst, almost all of them want to invest and cooperate."
Su Mu smiled: "Isn't this a good thing?"
Qian Jida: "So our movie, is it the company's own investment, or do we need to find a partner? If we invest by ourselves, we can use our own actors for the roles."
Su Mu: "You have also read the script of Kung Fu Soccer. In fact, this movie is more about using special effects, and it must be the best. The cost will not be too low. For this kind of movie that requires a large investment, we must find someone to share the risk with us."
You are worthy of it... Qian Jida admires it in his heart. When it comes to not suffering losses, if his boss says it is second, no one dares to say it is first.
Now even the company culture is moving in this direction. The four monks and Yiyi of NNQT, the artists who signed later, are now famous for their shrewdness in the industry.
Just think about who they learned it from.
Qian Jida: "Then it's still the old three?"
Su Mu thought for a while: "The old three are definitely needed, but I think I'll get more this time."
Kiwi, oil depot, penguin, the old three, this is the jargon between him and Qian Jida's research department, specifically targeting those who are fleecing.
"Looking for more?"
Su Mu nodded, and then said: "We must find them, especially the football brands. This is their chance. The news will be released in a few days. Those who want to join the sponsorship team can start, but there must be a minimum price."
"How much?"
"Sponsorships below 20 million can almost be kicked out."
"......!?"
Hearing Su Mu's words, Qian Jida's mouth twitched.
To be honest, the investment or sponsorship of a movie, in the circle, the best team is only hundreds of thousands to millions.
Finding some big brand sponsorship, it's good to be able to give some clothing or something, but Su Mu actually said that he doesn't want anything below 20 million. This tone is probably taking others for fools.
After all, to what extent can just one movie help their brand improve?
Even the sports brands that sponsored their club before did not say how much sales they could get because of a quarter of the league.
"With such a high sponsorship fee, will anyone be willing to come? The key is that this is not an investment, it is nothing more than an advertisement in the movie. Unless this movie has an exclusive title and reduces the number of shots, it feels very difficult."
Listening to Qian Jida's words, Su Mu said meaningfully: "Mr. Qian, you can't be soft-hearted when making money."
"I'm not soft-hearted." Qian Jida denied: "I just think it's difficult."
Su Mu smiled: "Okay, then I'll say a few words."
"!!!"
"!!!"
Su Mu: "First of all, the movie Kung Fu Soccer, as I said before, is a pure commercial film. Of course, now we have to add a prefix, international commercial film.
Do you understand the value of the word international? Do you know how high my requirements for commercial films are?"
Qian Jida: "Uh..."
Su Mu: "Commercial films should be purer. If they are not for money, can they be called commercial films? The main point this time is that there are enough slots. Those who want to sponsor should at least pay enough money to tell them that there must be a place for their brand in the movie.
The main point is to be open to all.
Of course, as you said, there will definitely be people who question the high price, but that's okay. You can also ask them, a football-themed film that is about to break the record and may even break out of Asia with me, do you want to take a gamble for their brand?"
Qian Jida: "!!!"
Little Orange: "!!!"
Master Zhu: "Bet!"
[Speech proficiency +1]
[Skill point +0.01]
Soon,
everyone arrived directly at the company. Qian Jida, who was brainwashed by Su Mu along the way, now seems to have a kind of enlightenment.
He has a new understanding of sponsorship.
Generally speaking, the party that pays is the first party, but now it seems that the identities have been swapped.
Not to mention, after thinking about it from another perspective, it feels quite right.
Now that I am standing in the heart of Party A, I am so proud. Our movie is going to go abroad and truly go global. In addition, Su Mu may participate in international competitions such as the World Cup. Then the football-themed movie he shot may really make a big splash.
So now the opportunity is in front of you. It only takes 20 million. Don't be ungrateful.
If you don't want to give, you can naturally withdraw. There are people lining up behind.
The more he thinks about it, the more confident he feels. Qian Jida has even begun to associate the number of sponsorships.
At present, there are almost 30 brands in the mailbox, from the light of domestic products to some foreign big brands.
There is even Nike, which was rejected by Su Mu before.
It's exciting to think about it.
When we arrived at the company, everyone held a simple meeting.
After so long, the company was almost entirely handed over to Zhang Hua'an and others.
At present, the operation is still quite smooth. The company's artists have more or less their own work arrangements. Some are running notices in other places, and some have received roles in some crews.
The most profitable group is naturally the NNQT group. Logically speaking, after the filming of Meteor Garden became popular for a while, the four people could have gone their own way and maximized their profits.
But these four people are really strange. They feel like they are invincible when they are together, but they are a mess when they are separated.
Previously, the captain Zhao Feng participated in a variety show alone. He went there by himself, but without the other three people around him, he couldn't even talk.
In the end, Zhang Hua'an had no choice but to tie the four of them together to take on the work.
This is relatively stable.
After the meeting, Su Mu left Xu Jiang and his film and television department members in the office.
Before he started talking, Xu Jiang took the lead and said, "Boss, no matter what, your new movie this time must be handed over to our own film and television department. We can't give it to others every time."
Everyone knew about Su Mu's interview from the Internet.
As the director of the film and television department of Jiaqian Entertainment, Xu Jiang must of course try his best to find project opportunities.
In the past few years, apart from shooting some idol dramas given by Su Mu, there were no other projects worth showing off.
At the beginning, he still felt that his ability and the size of his team were not particularly large, and they could not handle the good scripts in Su Mu's hands, so naturally they did not actively fight for them.
However, as the film and television department gradually grew in recent years and gained a firm foothold in the circle, they finally had some confidence and asked Su Mu for better projects.
After all, he was his own man, and there was no reason to hand over those projects that could produce results to outsiders.
As a director, seeing that many of Su Mu's previous scripts had refreshed the box office records in China, it would be a lie if he was not jealous.
Listening to Xu Jiang's words, Su Mu smiled.
Then he asked Qian Jida to take out the previous script from his bag and distributed it to everyone.
Xu Jiang looked down and said: "Kung Fu Football?"
"This script..."
After seeing the name, everyone's expression was a little intriguing.
To be honest, this name does not seem to be particularly reliable.
From the perspective of a professional filmmaker, they think that the main line of any film theme must be clear.
Kung Fu movies are kung fu movies, and football is naturally football.
But it is easy to get out of control when these two things are combined. Is it practicing Kung Fu or playing football?
It is often impossible to have both.
Xu Jiang looked up at Su Mu: "Boss, this script... is it really good? There have been movies of this kind released in previous years, but I think it is better to treat sports events with a little more seriousness. Kung Fu plus football, and some comedy elements... this is a bit difficult."
Listening to Xu Jiang's concerns, Su Mu just smiled and shook his head.
This script is naturally not that simple. After all, this is a movie of Stephen Chow in his previous life.
In Su Mu's memory, these works in his previous life, sports-themed movies that can really achieve high box office and high results, have not been absolutely pure in this line.
Especially Stephen Chow's Shaolin Soccer, and Four Seas many years later, etc.
More or less, some comedy elements and brain-opening settings have been added.
The ‘Kung Fu Soccer’ in his hand is actually Stephen Chow’s Shaolin Soccer, but Su Mu made some changes to the front.
The label of his Kung Fu movies a few years ago was still quite impressive, so he changed Shaolin to Kung Fu.
In his previous life, Stephen Chow’s Shaolin Soccer was filmed in the relatively early years.
The special effects production at that time, although it was considered top-notch at the time, was a bit immature when looking back many years later.
If Su Mu were to shoot it now, he felt that he could use more mature special effects.
Maybe the effect of the film would be better than Stephen Chow’s version.
Thinking of this, he looked at Xu Jiang's eager eyes, smiled and nodded: "Okay, it's okay to let the film and television department shoot this movie, and I will also participate in it personally, but it will still take some time to prepare for the shooting. Many actors in it must be found strictly according to the characterization above. Those who should be fat must be fat, and those who should be thin must be thin. Do you understand what I mean? The characters cannot be changed."
Xu Jiang's eyes flashed with excitement, and he smiled and said: "Boss, don't worry about this. Our company is not good at anything else, but we have signed a lot of these weird actors, which will definitely be enough."
Su Mu: "..."
…
…
Nike China flagship headquarters building.
At this moment, Chu Weiwei was sitting in her office, watching the hot search news on the Internet.
Her expression was serious, and her professional suit looked even colder. The white chest under the three buttons was about to come out, and the necklace pendant of Van Cleef & Arpels rose and fell with it.
She has been the director of Nike for so many years, and this is the first time she has been despised like this.
You know, being an absolute leading enterprise in the sports industry is a symbol of absolute strength.
Which star and athlete doesn't want to have an olive branch?
But Su Mu repeatedly hit a wall.
Originally, they wanted to invest in the "Photovoltaic Energy" team to give him a head start in the finals.
As a result, Su Mu actually defeated them all the way.
This made Chu Weiwei's always confident eyes doubt for the first time.
While thinking, she began to look through Su Mu's information.
This was given by a few friends in the entertainment industry.
And after seeing Su Mu's growth history in the entertainment industry, Chu Weiwei's expression gradually became shocked.
How can there be such a smooth person?
This can be called a legend!
He debuted as a top star, but the top star was not the peak. He just did it for two and a half years, and then successfully transformed into a powerful actor?
From China to Hollywood, and then from Hollywood back to China.
And every movie has to cross the border to play something and break a record.
I dare not imagine what kind of chemical reaction will happen if Nike can seize the opportunity to cooperate with him.
As a businessman, Chu Weiwei is of course profit-oriented. Even though she had been rejected before, she felt that if she could have another chance, she would still choose to cooperate.
But putting these aside, as a woman, she could not tolerate a boy rejecting her twice!
Chu Weiwei looked at the assistant: "We, Naik, have taken care of the sponsorship of Sumu's film this time! Ask them how much the exclusive title sponsorship will cost."
Assistant: "Mr. Chu, I just got the news that they have opened up a lot of sponsorship slots."
Chu Weiwei smiled: "Humph, just buy them, how many can there be?"
Assistant: "Fifty... fifty, and the advertising sponsorship for each slot is no less than 20 million."
Chu Weiwei suddenly stopped: "He... he wants to make money like crazy!"
