China Entertainment: Let you shoot for charity and make tens of billions?
Chapter 502: Celebration Banquet Held by the Directors Association! Su Yi's Resignation Letter!
"I think the opportunity is great and the script can be made very attractive!"
When Director Zhang saw that the other party was silent, he thought that he didn't want to agree to him.
Logically speaking, Director Zhang is also familiar with Su Yi and they have even worked together once.
But this kind of thing is really hard to talk about. This movie hasn’t even finished yet, but you’re thinking about making a completely new movie.
Su Yi is also a human being and cannot work continuously.
"I've seen the news. Don't lie to me, your old leader. When the movie was being filmed, someone got injured! Su Yi must not get into any trouble!"
Seeing the propaganda leader's decisive look, Director Zhang felt envious.
Although Su Yi's department will be separated from the propaganda department, it is estimated that they will continue to protect Su Yi in the future.
But this is also human nature, because Su Yi's power is indeed very powerful.
How big of a sensation is this movie?
The impact caused is even world-class.
Because of the exaggerated box office on the first day, it has been reported in newspapers in other countries.
"Just look at these newspapers. I'll take it as a compliment."
The propaganda leader did not give Director Zhang a direct answer, but instead brought up some foreign media reports.
There are insults and sarcasm, and a small part of them also includes some compliments.
However, those who can be praised are probably just waiting to be attacked by other Western media.
Director Zhang glanced at it casually.
"Director Su Yi from Longguo, the holder of the No. 2 box office, wants to break his own record with a patriotic movie this time, playing with Hollywood. His first box office in Longguo alone reached an astonishing nearly million US dollars! Such a box office miracle is even suspicious. Because it seems a bit too exaggerated, or even fake!"
Fake?
Bullshit!
Director Zhang’s son wanted to see this movie, and he was able to buy it through connections.
Director Zhang also felt a little aggrieved, because as a cadre of such rank, he had to use his connections to buy movie tickets for his children.
But it is really popular, and even private cinemas rarely book out the theaters.
After all, many people want to watch the premiere.
Even a 24-hour movie theater can only show less than 12 shows a day.
Some cinemas even had problems with their equipment.
It is only because of the huge number of movie fans in Dragon Country that such a prosperous era can be achieved.
The high box office on the first day was not only due to the talent of Longguo’s director Su Yi.
It also allowed countless people to see the huge potential of the Longguo market.
Previously, when Su Yi’s movie grossed 10 billion, the whole country was shocked and directors in the entertainment industry even shed tears.
Since 2006, when a film directed by Su Yi that satirized South Korea came out and won an award, the film market seems to have been activated.
Many high-grossing movies can quickly break the 100 million mark.
By the end of 2013, even movies directed by ordinary directors, as long as the plots were exciting, could catch up and reach a box office of 10 billion!
However, to be honest, these box office figures are still a bit insufficient in North America and the West.
But this time Su Yi directly broke the record and even broke it!
Even a director with high aspirations like Jiang Wen believes that he will never be able to reach such a height in his lifetime.
"This is a complete smear—"
Director Zhang said angrily.
However, the propaganda leader just waved his hands and still had a smile on his face.
"The fact that they are so angry that they even resort to such childish slander against Su Yi proves that they are already afraid in their hearts."
This is the power of publicity!
Ordinary people just watched the movie, but propaganda leaders saw other meanings.
Su Yi's original performance was very dazzling. When he was filming 12 Years a Slave, it even caused protests and demonstrations by black people, which led to the launch of zero-dollar shopping.
And this time, Wolf Warrior has even more extraordinary significance.
It promoted the military image of the Dragon Kingdom and deterred the enemy.
Some people even claim that the first half of the military exercise was no less deterrent than a Yue army parade.
The anti-war thinking in the second half also enhances the overall scale of the film.
And the audience in Longguo was also very excited when watching the film.
Su Yi has always been good at killing many birds with one stone.
How can the propaganda leader not protect such subordinates?
Director Zhang continued reading.
"The rise of Dragon Country directors has shown us the abilities of the mysterious Orientals. You know, they couldn't even play movies a few decades ago. But now they have made rapid progress!"
"I was lucky enough to see Wolf Warrior in Dragon Country this time. The scenes were very vivid and oppressive. I even felt that our country could not shoot a movie with such scenes!"
Two journalists from developed Western countries broadcast such reports with emotion.
What they said was fair because both the graphics and the plot were different from previous military movies.
Moreover, Su Yi once told Liu Shishi that if their movie wanted to be successful, it was inseparable from saving black people.
This is the mainstream in North America and also a fig leaf.
"If this movie is released in the North American market, it will definitely not be well received, but the scenes that satirize the Americans and the Korean Marines make me feel good! Even though I am also an American!"
“A visual feast! Although I still don’t understand many words, I understand the whole movie. Although the story is cliché, it is still hand-to-hand combat and armed combat, but it is a military movie, what else can it be? I am surprised that it can reach such a high level!”
The mainstream voice is still critical, and this is not only because people want to complain about the Dragon people and be on guard against the Dragon people.
What’s more important is that Hollywood is also going to release several movies recently, at the same time.
They have spent a lot of money to stop the box office of this movie.
Rumors and slander, this is the best way!
"What these media say is too outrageous! They say Director Su Yi only knows how to sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor, and that the rest of the work is done by others. Our producers were very moved when they came back, and they thought that Director Su Yi's hard work was just like that of a new director. When a photographer was bitten by a poisonous snake, the other two photographers were too scared to enter the rainforest to shoot, so Director Su Yi shot the photos himself."
After seeing a foreign report that casually slandered Su Yi, Director Zhang became furious.
Because this is bullshit.
"Yeah, Xiao Su should take a rest now. He has been very busy all the time."
The propaganda leader said meaningfully.
Director Zhang was stunned, then sighed.
This is true. Su Yi is really tired and he should be allowed to take a rest.
"I heard that he was busy with the funeral arrangements for an old director who passed away? It all happened at the same time. Because I got some news that the People's Welfare Department is going to be separated from the Propaganda Department."
Director Zhang was a little confused.
Aren’t things within the system more important?
What's more, Su Yi's current identity is not ordinary, he is not just a director.
"Yes, but Xiao Su has some thoughts of leaving the system. He has too much on his shoulders. Every time there is internal pressure, there is also external confrontation. It really makes him exhausted."
Director Zhang was indeed surprised that the propaganda leader would say this.
Because this kind of thing should not be told to an "outsider" like him.
After all, he is now the director of the military propaganda center.
Although both serve the people, they are two different departments after all. "Minister Su Su is really admirable. Even with such huge pressure from foreign countries, he was still able to talk and laugh."
Director Zhang's title has completely changed.
If Su Yi were to leave the system, that would be big news.
"Xiao Zhang, I am not treating you as an outsider because I can say this to you today. This is Su Yi's resignation letter. I should have thought of it a long time ago."
Director Zhang was a little surprised when he saw the letter in front of him.
No wonder he couldn't agree to me. Even if I didn't care whether Su Yi was tired or not, the fact that Su Yi was leaving made it impossible for me to ask him to do anything.
"But I haven't approved it yet."
The propaganda leader smiled and shook his head.
This is no joke. Su Yi has a national honorary title and is a national first-class director. Although he has not reached the level of the People's Public Welfare Department, his power is well known.
It's right not to let him leave easily.
"Because if he leaves, the People's Welfare Department will lose its meaning. What we need is someone who dares to fight and act."
Speaking of this, the propaganda leader's eyes became a little sore.
Because Su Yi has done enough.
Can't ask for anything more from him, but the department is just getting going.
If Su Yi left, once their backbone was gone, they would become hesitant in doing things.
"I invited him to join the army before, and he did very well in the propaganda department. Su Yi is a very talented person, but perhaps the system sometimes restricts him."
Director Zhang still feels that doing charity work is too restrictive and it is not as practical as shooting movies and TV series.
"I'm thinking about this. Let's put the movie on hold for now. Or you can talk to Han Sanping, maybe he can make the final decision on this matter. Su Yi rarely makes a second part of his movies, so even if this doesn't happen, he may not agree."
Director Zhang nodded. He really wanted to know how much the box office would be when it was released overseas.
No one thinks it will surpass the domestic box office, but it is still of great significance for his impact on the world box office.
····
Internet media.
"It's so cool! I grabbed a movie ticket at midnight yesterday and watched Wolf Warrior! Guys, this is definitely not a movie full of patriotic elements! I can't get enough of the special effects! It has surpassed the production of Batman!"
As the movie has been released for a few days, the first-day box office overseas has not yet been counted, but the discussion at home is getting louder and louder.
The initial phenomenon of crowded cinemas and difficulty in getting tickets has been alleviated.
After all, it is impossible for everyone to watch a movie like this every day.
Being able to enter and watch it once is already a great support.
This anti-piracy alliance was very successful.
Even India, a country with a high incidence of piracy, broke with its norm and did not pirate movies.
However, their support is not high, and they just watch it as a pure imported blockbuster.
This matter is not only attracting attention in China, but also in many foreign countries.
However, South Korea and Japan avoided the issue and kept silent about the movie.
Especially in international forums.
The box office in these countries is indeed not low. Although there are no specific statistics, everyone gave Han Sanping feedback that the box office was good.
Yet few are discussing it in international forums.
Because for them, this is simply a shame.
After all, it is legitimate for Longguo to shoot this kind of military-themed film.
Especially for Japan and South Korea, let alone direct satire on the country with the star-flag, even speaking a little loudly would be considered wishful thinking.
Moreover, even some slightly tough and satirical movies have actually been "reported" in advance.
After all, the hard power is stationed in their country. If they are not satisfied at all, they can just fire the director.
"Su Yi's new work this time really shows his strength as an international director! I hope our country can also have such a director! He can even drive the country's film industry!"
Many netizens are satirizing South Korea and Japan, but there are also more people praising the movie.
After removing some strong patriotic elements and adding anti-war and precautionary ideas, it became very popular on the global platform.
Many media outlets gave it high marks.
In fact, when this movie was being adapted, the military producers disagreed.
There might be nothing to complain about the first half, and she even felt that the filming could have been longer.
But there are many scenes in the second half that are a bit too bloody.
Especially when a coup has just happened in an African country, and when people rush to collect evidence and face death.
With Su Yi's amplification, these two long shots are longer and the images are more realistic.
Many North American movie fans like to watch these two shots.
Although Wolf Warriors had a high box office, its ratings abroad were not very high. After the first day, it was only 8.7 points, and then it dropped to 8.2.
If it were an ordinary director, he would probably be ecstatic.
But this is the world's number one director.
The fact that the score didn’t break 9 proves that they didn’t like the plot of the first half of the movie very much.
But it doesn’t matter to Su Yi. He doesn’t even pay much attention to the box office statistics which have not been released yet.
Because of the arrangement of many directors, Su Yi attended the Directors Guild in 2014.
Moreover, as the president, he not only speaks, but also shares his experience.
····
Su Yi sat in a spacious seat, the president of the Directors Association.
These six words look golden.
The audience seats were packed, and most of the seats were filled with famous directors, some even from Hong Kong and the islands.
The last time Su Yi came, he received some cold words.
Now that the king has returned, Wolf Warrior has sparked discussions all over the world, and everyone is amazed.
This time, several famous directors nominated him and went to Su Yi's home to invite him.
If you are an ordinary person, you will naturally pay attention to things like seniority.
But with Su Yi's achievements, he can ignore all these.
Even several famous directors who invited Su Yi felt proud, after all, it was an honorable thing.
Su Yi didn't act pretentiously and agreed directly.
"President Su, the Directors Association held this meeting entirely to ask you to share your experience in filming Wolf Warrior. It would be even better if you could give us some pointers."
Zhang Yi smiled. He was hosting the meeting.
Despite his status as the national teacher, he is not the protagonist.
Only Su Yi can be treated like this! (End of this chapter)
