China Entertainment: Let you shoot for charity and make tens of billions?

In the entertainment industry, Wu Jing is a senior.

But who can you compare this with, because some people can transcend generations.

Su Yi is undoubtedly such a person.

Even if it has nothing to do with his position in the system.

Su Yi's achievements in the film industry are far beyond the reach of other directors in Longguo.

"You're welcome. I can accept any form of cooperation, but I hope I can be the leading actor."

This is the only thing Wu Jing desires.

In fact, in "Changjin Lake", Wu Jing is half the leading actor, but this movie is an ensemble film.

And it was mostly due to Su Yi's personal charm and the audience's love emotions that the box office was so high. Wu Jing suffered a lot during the filming and got some rewards, but it is still a bit far from being really popular.

Whether it is the Korean version of "Accidental Murder" or the Chinese version of "Dying to Survive", the protagonists are almost all newcomers.

This made Wu Jing a little anxious.

Because he is a martial arts actor, this is a job that young people can do.

Not to mention him, even international superstars like Jackie Chan and Jet Li can no longer fight when they reach a certain age.

Their popularity has declined drastically, for example, whenever people mention their names.

Everyone knew about it, but when the movie was released, few people went to see it.

In fact, it’s also because of Su Yi’s sudden appearance.

When he was not very famous, he filmed several movies with two superstars.

However, no one cared about the plot at that time, and some were even ecstatic.

However, with the declining box office performance of movies such as The Myth and Huo Yuanjia, they lamented. Apart from thinking that Su Yi was talented, they also felt that they were old and no longer had the popularity and drive they had when they were young.

The failure of Wu Jing's movie "Wolf Tooth" dealt a huge blow to Wu Jing, and he almost couldn't recover.

In front of the media, he naturally stood up with his tough guy image.

But I still know the pain involved.

"No problem, you can be the lead actor. And this movie is quite suitable for you."

Su Yi smiled.

Wolf Warrior, a phenomenal movie, was criticized by many after it became popular.

There was also a hot topic going viral on the Internet.

For example, when some Chinese are bullied abroad, some people will complain: Where is Wolf Warrior?

Some people in the country have been treated unfairly: What about Wolf Warrior?

This is all due to ulterior motives, because Wolf Warrior is just a special forces unit.

Wolf Warrior itself is about killing, not saving and protecting.

In Jet Li's movie "Bodyguard", it was explained that the best soldier is a spear and is good at attacking.

The best bodyguard is a shield, good at defense.

Moreover, it is a bit far-fetched to attribute all the unfairness to Wolf Warrior and complain about one's own dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction.

Now Longshiting has gradually developed into a platform for the birth of hot memes, just like Douyin in its previous life.

Maybe this movie will also be criticized.

But it doesn’t matter. Su Yi just wants to use his current identity to change some online public opinion.

Hearing Su Yi's praise, Wu Jing was obviously excited.

“Thank you for the compliment.”

Wu Jing and Su Yi had worked together before and had even gone abroad to shoot the film. However, there were three directors shooting at the time, and Su Yi spent most of his time negotiating with people from neighboring countries and discussing how to strive for authenticity.

I am quite familiar with the other two directors.

Su Yi went there more than once, and every time he went, he could find a lot of problems.

Very attentive to details.

Wu Jing was excited but also a little nervous about the collaboration this time.

Xie Nan was happy for Wu Jing, but thinking about the sadness she had felt these days, her eyes turned red and tears began to fall.

Nowhere to be found!

For this young couple who are about to get married, this incident is enough to change their lives.

Because Huayi withdrew its investment, the military postponed its cooperation.

All of these put the film into a difficult situation, and the production was even about to be stopped.

And to be honest, even if the money is in place, there are still a lot of things to deal with.

Shooting location, shooting scale, etc.

"Director Su, you don't know our Old Wu. He has always worked very hard. When he was filming Special Forces, he was injured several times. I'm not saying that our Old Wu is special. It's normal for martial arts actors to encounter such things. But he's not young anymore. He has worked so hard for so long, but he's not famous. Instead, his popularity has plummeted."

Xie Nan knew Wu Jing's current situation.

Neither up nor down.

Despite their fame, they are not the protagonists.

When he was in Hong Kong, he basically played either villains or younger brothers.

It seems to be of little use.

After all these years, the only TV series I found to be pretty good is Tai Chi Master.

Wu Jing sighed. Being a somewhat patriarchal man, he would find it hard to accept Xie Nan saying these things in front of other people.

But in front of Su Yi, it seems that no one is very successful.

So it's not shameful.

"There is no fairness in the entertainment industry, and it is also very fair."

After a while, Wu Jing shook his head and said with some emotion.

The unfairness is not about connections, but about so-called audience appeal.

What the audience likes you to play and what role you play are all fixed.

If there is a sudden change, the whole movie might fail.

For example, Zhou Xingchi before, in Hong Kong at that time, Zhou and Yicheng were a guarantee of box office success.

But Zhou Xingchi played a role that was completely different from the previous one.

The ending went from comedy to tragedy.

The box office instantly taught him a lesson.

Finally, they had no choice but to shoot movies like "The King of Comedy" to cater to the market.

Wu Jing has been in the film industry and entertainment industry for so many years, so this is natural.

It’s just that many actors are trying to change their careers.

The process is very painful.

For example, Shuqi once said that she would put on all the clothes she took off one by one!

But what about the effect?
Zhou Xingchi became famous for a long time later, but he did not dare to use an absolutely tragic solution in CJ7.

It was very difficult for Wu Jing to transform from a supporting role such as a thug, killer, and younger brother into the protagonist in a martial arts movie.

The capital previously invested in Wu Jing because of his half-protagonist role in "Changjin Lake".

Su Yi has been filming movies frequently recently, and many people believe that Su Yi will no longer have any relationship with Wu Jing.

So Wu Jing was tragically "abandoned". Even though the building he lived in had been mortgaged, the film project could not go on.

It's already a dead end.

As for the fair place, as long as you have connections, financial resources or fame.

Then it will be easy to succeed.

The fairest thing is that there are too few successful people, and most people are failures.

When Wu Jing saw Su Yi looking at him, he forced a smile.

There are already a lot of wrinkles around the eyes.

"Many students from Beijing Film Academy, Shanghai Film Academy and Shanghai Theatre Academy are really lucky to have the opportunity to appear on CCTV's unit drama program. This is also thanks to Director Su." Xie Nan also smiled and flattered him in a roundabout way.

But it also comes from the heart.

For them, such an opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

In 2005, Su Yi had just graduated and became an executive director within the Capital Television Station.

This year, Xie Nan also participated in the 'Cat Man Super Charming Host Show' organized by Guangguang Media.

Xie Nan came in first and Liu Yan seventh.

This is luck, but also the result of my own hard work.

But anyway, how many people who experienced that era know about this game?

Su Yi's drama series is now ranked first in the ratings of variety shows and TV dramas!

Almost as long as the actor fits the role and has good acting skills, he or she will become popular.

As for future growth, it depends on yourself.

This kind of exposure is very valuable, especially when you are a newcomer.

For example, how many stars have been born from talent shows like The Voice of China and Super Girl?

What's more, this is Su Yi's program on CCTV!

"It doesn't matter. Gold will always shine, and Brother Wu Jing will shine too. I noticed you when we were filming The Battle at Lake Changjin and The Founding of a Republic. Even if Shi Shi hadn't organized this party, I would have sought cooperation with you sooner or later."

Su Yi is in the system and speaks in a more tactful way, which gives face to Liu Shishi and affirms both of them.

Wu Jing smiled with relief, but her face was still a little nervous.

Because based on experience, after talking about the advantages, I must also talk about some disadvantages.

"Your acting is a bit stiff. The theme of this movie is very important. Since you are the lead actor this time, you can choose the melody."

After hearing this, Wu Jing and Xie Nan looked at each other, feeling a little surprised.

Choose a melody?
Su Yi has no time to shoot a series, Wolf Warrior, Wolf Warrior 2.
He could make a good start, a first film that would be more shocking than his previous one.

It has become a series similar to First Blood.

When Su Yi takes action, it must be extraordinary and cannot be the same as in his previous life.

As for this path, Su Yi felt that it would be better for Wu Jing to choose it.

Seeing the somewhat confused eyes of the young couple, Su Yi chuckled.

As a time traveler, this kind of look is all too common.

"The main theme of a film can determine its audience. I can make the initial box office of a film very high, and I have the confidence in this, but if I want to develop further, I must choose a route. It is not a protagonist and melody that can change at any time."

“For example, a more serious group portrait film, like The Battle of Changjin Lake.”

Su Yi paused, his meaning was very simple.

It's just like the Operation Red Sea in later generations, more tragic and more realistic.

There are similar movies in Hollywood, such as "Black Hawk Down" and so on.

"Another type is similar to First Blood. It's a type of online cool novel. This type is not worth pondering, but it can be integrated into a series with many real situations beyond human cognition."

This type is easy to understand, the First Blood series.

Wu Jing frowned and thought about it. It was not that she found Su Yi's "interfering" difficult to accept.

But I really hadn't considered these things before.

He had only been thinking about filming the movie well, but Su Yi had already started thinking about the future.

Wu Jing felt that the other party's success was not accidental, but the result of long-term consideration.

"This method is good!"

Xie Nan's eyes lit up and his heart became lively.

With Director Su Yi, everything is possible!
“The 007 series is also good, so the beginning is very important.”

Su Yi continued his introduction.

There can be many Wolf Warriors, because being a soldier is not a lifelong career.

If you add all these factors to one person, it is easy to get aesthetic fatigue.

The most important thing is that Wu Jing is not young anymore.

He was 34 years old when he lost all his money filming Wolf's Tooth.

When filming the special forces: Blades Out of the Sheath, 38!

In order to gain the support of the military and to be able to capture the temperament of a soldier well, Wu Jing entered the army for special training. It is admirable that he can endure such hardships at this age.

But no matter what, the age is really not appropriate.

"I understand what Director Su means, but what are the specific details of our cooperation?"

Wu Jing suddenly said.

This matter is very important.

Is Su Yi acting, directing, adapting the script, or investing?

"You choose."

This sentence still shocked Wu Jing and the others.

This. Liu Shishi's face is really...
Xie Nan felt a little envious, this was not just Liu Shishi’s girlfriend.

He is also the head of the Public Welfare Department and the world's top-grossing director!
Moreover, director Su Yi basically writes the screenplay for all his works himself!

“Can I be a director, an investor, or even a performer?”

Xie Nan blushed after she said this, but she knew Wu Jing would definitely not say such a thing.

The favor was probably only used this time. In fact, at the beginning, Xie Nan and Liu Shishi became friends not because of Su Yi, because Su Yi was still a new director at that time. Although the box office was good, he could not be compared with Chen Kaige and others.

As hosts, they often feel helpless.

For example, before Chen Kaige's "The Promise" was released, Liu Yan was ordered to interview Chen Kaige.

Liu Yan was helpless. He asked the wrong question even though he was very careful.

“If the result is not as good as you expected, will it hurt your dignity?

Before he finished speaking, Chen Kaige went berserk, which made Liu Yan extremely embarrassed. If he hadn't been trained, he would have burst into tears on the spot.

But after Chen Kaige smashed the cup, he couldn't help but shed tears.

"I don't want someone to come to my baby's full moon party and ask what would you do if your baby died when our film is about to be released?"

"According to the people in the capital, that's 'interfering with others'. That's not a problem. That's not a problem!"

"Where's that reporter? Call her over!"

Later, Liu Yan apologized, but Director Chen just sneered.

Because you might offend the other person by asking a question unintentionally.

But precisely because of this, Xie Nan became bolder.

Wu Jing scratched his head and even wanted to turn around and leave.

This seems a bit excessive.

"I'm just the lead actor, and the share is yours. It's enough if we can get this house back!"

Wu Jing quickly added.

Even this, he felt was quite excessive.

"If I participate, I don't have the ability to act in action scenes. If you let me be the investor and director, leave the rest to me."

"The money issue is easy to talk about, it's the support from the military."

Wu Jing said hurriedly.

This is a military-themed movie, which requires weapons and equipment that ordinary people cannot get.

Su Yi smiled. Is the support of the military district still a problem?

It seems like I haven’t been to the August 1st Film Studio for a long time.

They had asked me to shoot a movie before, and seven years had passed in a flash! (End of this chapter)
