Chapter 428 No, I don’t want to become the movie king Agou!

CCTV's Channel 6 movie channel is generally called the Sixth Princess by the audience.

Because of their capriciousness in showing films, Pearl Harbor was shown when the Japanese Prime Minister visited the United States, Braveheart was shown during the Scottish referendum, Les Miserables was shown during the Paris protest, and various movies with bad endings for couples were shown on Valentine's Day.

At the same time, her official Weibo account shows that her gender is female, her signature on Bilibili is "Hmph~", and it is a channel directly under the Central Propaganda Department, operated and managed by the National Film Administration. She is the daughter of the Central Propaganda Department, the adopted daughter of CCTV, etc., so she has the personality of a proud and arrogant rich girl.

At this time, the crew of "China Film Report", one of the Six Princesses' ace programs, was gathering in the conference room to discuss work arrangements.

"The shortlist for Cannes' main competition unit has been announced. This year, we have three domestic films shortlisted. Let's discuss how to conduct the follow-up interviews." Producer Ding Yan started the conversation.

"Three movies? So many this year?"

Editor-in-chief Wang Yun in the audience was surprised.

In previous years, one movie was considered a lot, but this year I didn’t expect there would be three, it’s a big year.

He looked at the information in his hand curiously.

The first of the three films, "The Great River", was directed by Zhang Jianmin, a well-known sixth-generation director in the circle. It tells the ups and downs of the fate of small people against the backdrop of the country's large-scale digging of reservoirs in order to control floods in the 1950s and 1960s.

Just taking a look at the overall story, it is very patriotic and politically correct.

The second one, "Shadow Killing", is a film by the new generation director Cheng Bo. It tells the story of foreign spies and eavesdropping during the war. Looking at the brief introduction, the story is very tense and contradictory, and also has some commercial elements.

Part 3.

Wang Yun paused and said in astonishment, "The film starring Wu Mu and Lin Xueming's daughter is also shortlisted?"

Ok?
Noon Wood?

When other people in the meeting room received the keywords, they immediately turned to check.

It’s really Wu Mu.

The movie "Separation", directed by Lin Qingyue and starring Wu Mu, tells the story of love and separation among middle school students.

Director Mu Yang quickly finished flipping through the pages and couldn't help but sigh quietly, "Wu Mu's development momentum is great. He has blossomed in all aspects. His singing is very popular in Japan, and now even his film has been shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival."

Others nodded, "If you don't count it, you won't know. Once you count it, you'll be shocked. As a singer, he is the best in the country. Mo Mo won the title of the best singer. He is also very popular in Japan. There were 60,000 to 70,000 people in the parade."

"As for variety shows, all the TV stations in China are vying to offer him money. I heard that there are also many invitations from Korea because of the show 'Super Challenge'."

“In terms of TV series, we have a super hit TV series that sold 4.5 million, and now even movies can be shortlisted for Cannes.”

This is simply all-round development in film, television, music, and variety shows, both at home and abroad, and then making up for the shortcomings in commercial box office and TV series, and accumulating a few more years to build up a stronger foundation. This is exactly what every star in the circle dreams of.

There is no need to worry about whether you are cold or not.

Basically everyone in the conference room knew Wu Mu. Even if they didn't know him before, they almost knew him after what happened this morning.

After all, the news was revealed by CCTV. Even if their movie channel is just the adopted daughter of CCTV, they will still pay some attention to the movements of their cousins.

Such a well-rounded character, with such a high-quality image and such a strong reputation abroad, is actually very suitable as a publicity target.

But unfortunately, this person's shortcomings are too great.

Editor-in-chief Wang Yun looked at his leader, producer Ding Yan, and said, "Director Ding, are we also going to follow up and promote Wu Mu's film?"

As a channel directly under the Central Propaganda Department, CCTV-6 bears the responsibility of serving the national cultural strategy to a certain extent. Now the focus of the national cultural strategy is undoubtedly overseas cultural exports.

Therefore, in recent years, their station will follow up on the films shortlisted for international film festivals from beginning to end and invest resources in promotion.

Ding Yan knew what Wang Yun meant and nodded. "It was difficult to promote him before, but now that he's even on the news on Channel 13, we don't need to be too strict."

"But there are three films nominated this year, and we don't have enough people in the station, so let's discuss which one to focus on and which one has the best chance of winning the award."

There are not enough people. Although we will still send small groups to follow up on all three films, there is still a difference in which film is the focus and will receive the most people and the most experienced team, and which film can be used to send newcomers to train.

Let's talk about which film is most likely to win an award. As people who have participated in the "China Film Report" program, everyone here has some experience.

Wang Yun pondered for a moment, "The film with the greatest chance of winning this year should be Death Mail, directed by French director Tris. It's a big favorite. Our domestic films are less popular."

Sometimes, whether you can win an award or not can be determined by looking at the various judges and rumors in the film industry before the film festival.

The most discussed films at Cannes this year were from abroad. The domestic films were obviously less popular, and it felt a bit cold.

"But if I had to choose, I think The Great River has the best chance among the three. This kind of film that tells the history of backward third countries and focuses on the fate of small people in that era has always been a good choice for Cannes."

Others also nodded, "Shadows of the Fallen is second. Films like Shadows that tell the story of war, the struggle between enemies and ourselves, are also popular at Cannes. In addition, Cannes has been trying to reform in recent years and has been leaning a little towards commercial elements, so the commercial elements in Shadows of the Fallen fit in."

The third one is naturally "Farewell" by Wu Mulin Qingyue.

It's not that they deliberately look down on Wu Mu. It's just that romance films are not the kind of films that Cannes likes to select. Cannes is indeed more inclined towards politics and humanity, and simple love stories are not very popular.

Besides, it's ok that Wu Mu and his friends are in love in this movie, but they are middle school students in love.
Not to mention Cannes, even they themselves felt unsure after reading the synopsis.

Could this be the same type of youth pain movie as those in China?
Regret, messing around, partying, abortion.
Everyone in the program crew felt guilty.

After a period of discussion, the production team finally made a decision that "The Flowing River" had the highest priority, "Shadow Kill" was second, and "Farewell" was third.

The "China Film Report" program crew is making preparations.

Wu Mu's album is also selling well.

The popularity of the parade on the day directly pushed his album to countless users.

For an album that can cause such a big event and is not expensive, who can resist the curiosity and buy a copy to listen to it?

So by the end of the day of the parade, the album had sold 1.4 million copies.

The next day, the popularity did not decrease much. Instead, with news reports from major Japanese TV stations and publicity in various newspapers and periodicals, it attracted a large number of eyeballs again.

One million copies were sold the next day.

It was not until the third day that it began to decline significantly.

However, this has helped Wu Mu's new album sell more than 3.3 million copies.

It immediately entered the top 20 albums of all time on the Oricon chart in Japan.

When Atsuta Atsushi called, the excitement in his tone was beyond words, "Mr. Wu Mu, our album is already the best-selling album in the past five years!"

Although as sales reach 100 million RMB, their platform will have to upgrade and pay Wu Mu 20 million RMB in initial launch fees.

But it’s totally worth it!

What an exaggerated exposure these days!
Selling more than three million copies! Directly increase their platform's market share by three or four points!

Just spending 20 million to get such a huge improvement, it’s a real bargain!
When Atsuta Atsushi thought about his previous doubts, he felt a little ashamed.

It doesn’t matter if there is no publicity. Renwu Musang is so awesome, what publicity does he need!
The album will still sell well even without any promotion!

Well, although I still don’t quite understand, is this Chinese celebrity really confident enough not to advertise, or is he simply not smart enough not to advertise?

But they have succeeded twice in this way. The first success was just luck, but after succeeding twice, maybe they have their own unique promotional secrets.

Anyway, at this moment, Atsuta Atsushi's heart was full of admiration for the strong.

"Our album has now topped the Oricon monthly chart this month. Even if the popularity of the parade dies down, we will be able to maintain a basic exposure, and the album sales can be increased a little bit." Atsushi Atsushi announced the good news.

Such a large sales volume, even if the coefficient is low, is enough to push Wu Mu to the top of the monthly list, and it is a large lead.

Wu Mu looked at his system panel and nodded, "It is true that they can still sell for a while."

Now more than half of the performance card has been redeemed, less than 90 million, and there is still at least 60 million in the balance.

But it may take some time to grind next.

Or wait for the system to push out other hot events and for his other programs in Japan to be broadcast.

After the redemption, according to the tiered profit-sharing ratio he had previously agreed upon with Line Music, the profit above 8.5 million will be split in a ratio of 1.5 and .

The platform 1.5 charges an operating cost price, which is equivalent to spending money on publicity.

Therefore, with a performance card worth 150 million, he can get nearly 130 million.

Adding to that some sales that are not affected by performance cards, it is estimated that another 10 or 20 million can be added.

Plus the 30 million yuan licensing fee from Line Music.
He can get 180 million for the entire album, which is 30 million more than the limit of his performance card.

And this does not include the copyrights sold to other platforms or even other regions in China and overseas after the initial release period.

There are also various long-term benefits brought by the album.

Wu Mu nodded with satisfaction. He suddenly realized that it was very profitable to exchange albums for performance cards.

More profitable than selling goods.

After he has collected enough songs, he will release them!

At that time, I can directly break the album record in Japan, or sell it in China, make a third album that sells tens of millions of copies, and sell it in other places overseas to continue earning foreign exchange.

Wu Mu thought to himself.

The album issue has been temporarily settled, and the next thing is Lin Qingyue’s movie.

Wu Mu looked at the short video he had just seen on his phone.

"Agou is serious! His movie is shortlisted for the Cannes main competition! No, don't let Agou become the best actor!"

What an abstract fun title,

Even before clicking on the video, Wu Mu had already roughly felt that this Agou was probably talking about himself.

But don’t be surprised, the video cover is the same poster he appeared in before in “The Vanishing Man”.

"How dare you call me Agou in the title? I'll sue you later." Wu Mu muttered to himself.

Although his nickname "Wu Gou" is almost known to everyone, various bloggers and public figures who make videos generally try to avoid calling him Wu Gou and only use various words to refer to him.

After all, calling directly may lead to legal risks.

But there are always those who are brave enough to call out directly.

Wu Mu looked at this person’s account, [Blue Star Film Bureau].

He wrote down the name of the person's account and clicked on the video to view it.

"Big shock! Wu Mu has been shortlisted for the top three, the Cannes Film Festival, and will be aiming for the Cannes Best Actor award!"

The opening is the eye-catching words unique to short videos.

Then a man wearing a globe mask appears on the screen.

"Brothers, I won't be explaining movies this year. Let me share my shock with you! Just this morning, when I was looking for movies to explain to you online, I saw the official list of nominees for this year's Cannes Film Festival."

"I clicked in just to see what was going on, but you know what I saw!"

A movie poster appears on the screen.

This is the official poster of "Farewell". Surprisingly, Director Lin, who has a strong sense of ritual, did not use the scene of Wu Mu under the cherry tree as the poster cover.

Instead, the poster used a photo of him sitting alone on the grass at dusk, enjoying the evening breeze and looking at an unlaunched rocket in the distance.

Wu Mu was stunned when he saw the poster. He paused the video and looked at it carefully.

Is this a scene from a movie?
There doesn't seem to be a scene in the movie where you can watch the rocket up close.

After recalling it in his mind, he remembered that this was not a scene from a movie at all, but the scene where he was curious about the rocket launch site and asked Lin Qingyue to take him to a nearby place to see the rocket through the back door.

"When did he secretly take a photo of me?" Wu Mu muttered to himself.

But I have to say that Lin Qingyue's photography skills are really at their best, and the photos he took are full of atmosphere. He is sitting on the grass enjoying the evening breeze, and the white rockets in the distance look like they are from two different worlds at first glance. There is a very contradictory sense of alienation.

Wu Mu looked at the phone screen quietly for a few seconds and then resumed playback.

The video continues.

"Although it's only a profile picture, no one should be able to mistake him for this look. Wu Mu's film has been shortlisted for the Cannes main competition unit! And when I checked the published information, I found out that the film crew even nominated Wu Mu for the Best Actor award!"

"The sky is falling. Wu Mu is actually going to compete for the Cannes Best Actor Award. Is this still the Wu Mu I know?"

"As everyone knows, I have made many videos criticizing the acting skills of young Chinese actors. I have found all of their films and explained them in detail. In my impression, Wu Mu has always been an amateur with obvious and awkward acting marks."

"It turns out that he had 'The Vanishing Man' before, which was just a web series, and it was barely acceptable in China, but now he is going to compete for the Best Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival?"

Even with a mask on, you can feel the man's shock, and you can imagine his horrified expression underneath the mask.
