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

Chapter 569: The ‘missing’ Liu Yifei, the child in the photo!
Su Yi raised his glass.

"That's right! Although you can't be the director, you can guide our direction!"

Even the chairman himself found it a bit unbelievable when he said this.

Because if time goes back to 2005, if there was a Dragon countryman who could show them the way, he would definitely sneer.

But ten years later, the young Dragon man in front of him had such capital!
His films have been welcomed by moviegoers in many countries, and even those with patriotic elements can become the world's box office number one.

There are such calls in Star Flag country now.

Why can't we make a military movie like this?
Such problems make all directors feel helpless.

It was because of such movies that they were criticized and had box office failures before.

As a result, no one has touched military movies for many years.

It wasn't until 2009 that a movie adapted from the comic book, "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra," was considered to be a good box office success.

But this is also because it is not a simple modern military movie, but a science fiction military movie, which is why many people like it.

Now that Wolf Warrior has become popular, you complain that they couldn’t film it?
Many companies have been tempted and decided to shoot a movie with patriotic elements.

After all, the filming environment in the Star-Flag Country is freer, and they have more modern wars.

Some people have even started filming.

These are not the most important things in the eyes of Warner's chairman, because he also knows that one or two movies don't mean anything.

But this is Su Yi's influence!

Warner has many businesses, not just movies.

He also has many well-known American TV series, such as "Game of Thrones", "Friends", "The Big Bang Theory", etc.

Needless to say, there are movies, in addition to the previous Harry Potter and DC comic series, there are also "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Matrix".
But after filming these classics, the chairman of Warner has never been so polite to anyone.

Because he had carefully investigated Su Yi's "rise".

Cheat all the way and crush all the way.

Starting from China, no matter what level of director you are, or whether you are a senior director, you will still encounter some difficulties within the system.
Everything will be solved!

Moreover, the film even caused riots in a country!

This kind of energy is unprecedented.

Although many times it is just coincidence, it also proves Su Yi's ability.

This is a director who will achieve great things in the future. Even if not for the future, the chairman of Warner Bros. feels that they should get along well with each other because he is a living legend.

"You're too polite. In fact, your company has many classics, so it doesn't matter if they are temporarily suppressed."

Su Yi said something polite.

However, since the other party was so sincere, he couldn't always be perfunctory.

"The box office of Man of Steel was OK, but it was far from what we expected. For a company like ours, it wasn't particularly profitable. We were even frustrated at one point. The person who was targeting you just now is in charge of this project. He has a lot of complaints about you because people always compare you to The Dark Knight. And now he wants to make a bigger IP movie, Batman v Superman!"

Su Yi raised his eyebrows.

It turns out that this guy was responsible for the flop of Warner's movie.

It's really polarized. But whoever makes Harry Potter can be successful, after all, there is a huge fan base, and all they need to do is add some special effects and follow the original plot.

The adaptation of the Superman series is not so easy.

Originally, the Batman series was supposed to be taken over by director Nolan, but because Su Yi finished the script in advance, he successfully replaced Nolan.

Later it became a classic, even beating movies like Titanic. Although many people think that this is due to the different eras that it reached such a height, these are all objective reasons, and they are all said to discredit Su Yi.

Even in 2023, Titanic still has a high box office. Although the box office of the re-released version is also included, the charm of the movie can be imagined.

And no matter how he was slandered, Su Yi made the villain role of the Joker popular.

Now the actor who plays the Joker did not die unexpectedly after the filming because he listened to Su Yi's advice. He is still active on the screen. He is also a loyal fan of Su Yi. He has said on many occasions that Su Yi is the director he admires most, and his control over details is very strong.
In this way, the Batman movie shot by Su Yi completely overshadowed the brilliance of the previous Batman series!

Such a result will definitely make many people jealous.

"What is the name of this gentleman who likes comparison?"

Su Yi asked with some curiosity.

He was inexplicably being 'remembered' by someone, so he always had to ask about it.

"Bruce - he used to be an executive director, and he holds a lot of shares. Although he poses no threat to me, he likes to be in the spotlight. But the projects he is involved in are indeed very profitable. That's why I let him go."

The chairman smiled and said that he was very tolerant of capable people, because as long as they did not go too far, the ultimate goal was to make him more money.

In the world of capital, there is no need for too much face and respect. The strong will rise and the weak will disappear.

This is their law of survival.

This is why he respects Su Yi so much, but after making a choice, he still rejected Bruce's face and insisted on getting along well with Su Yi.

"This guy is quite talented. The fusion of the Superman and Batman series will surely be something that many fans are looking forward to. Bruce is busy with these things now and may not feel that he needs to rely on you. And this guy is a bit racist, so I hope Director Su doesn't mind."

The chairman said slowly.

A fusion of Batman and Superman.
Su Yi recalled that the box office was not as good as Man of Steel.

It was originally highly anticipated, but it went downhill after the premiere.

What people need more in the future is a group movie like The Avengers, with more fighting scenes and more interactions.

No matter who you like, you can see his appearance.

Instead of liking conspiracy theories or political related things.

Not to mention that this type of movie is outdated, even if it is not outdated, the filming effect is very poor.

They are now in the preparation stage. Su Yi thought about it and decided not to tell them what might happen in the future.

This is not his company, and even if he told it, the other party might not believe it.

At that time, there will be more hatred. His purpose of coming to the Star Flag Country is to find the Red Star House and Liu Yifei.

Everything else is secondary. It’s better to have less than more.

However, seeing the sincerity of Warner's chairman, he still hinted.

"Disney's movies have given us an inspiration, that is, what movie fans like more now are special effects, various battle scenes, and some famous scenes in their hearts. If there is another "Batman: The Dark Knight", I don't know whether it will be successful."

Su Yi could only say this much. He could not film anything related to the Star Flag Country, probably including movies.

On the territory of the Star Flag Country, he still has to abide by their rules.

Someday, he will go back and expose it. As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. The main purpose of Su Yi's coming was to find Liu Yifei.

So he didn't plan to do anything secretly.

Unless CNN touches his bottom line, touches the bottom line of Longguo!

"I think so too, but Bruce insisted on taking the serious route of the Batman and Superman series, and I am not very optimistic about turning the two people's beliefs into a collision of two kinds of justice. But after all, he has more talent in filming movies than I do."

The chairman found the meal boring.

Because I wasn't able to work with Su Yi, who is already very famous, it would have been great if he could have shot this movie.

There will also be Joker characters involved, as well as some popular villains from the Superman series.
It will definitely set the box office on fire!

Unfortunately, Su Yi couldn't shoot, and many plans were disrupted.

"It's okay. With your company's strength, I think we can start projects at the same time and merge the Batman and Superman series, but we also need to launch a new IP."

The chairman's eyes lit up; this was what he wanted to know most.

Future development path!
You know, if you get it wrong, making a movie is no joke.

Losing money isn't even the most important thing, it's ruining this money-making series!
There are so many superheroes in DC Comics, and I don’t know if I can choose the right one.

"I occasionally pay attention to our domestic 'superhero' movies. Recently, several movies adapted from Shan Hai Jing are about to be released. In the new era of movies, some IPs in the past, although they are also very famous, still need to be re-adapted before they are released. The Calabash Brothers series, which Disney was very interested in before, is very popular, but if it is remade, it may fail because the target audience has changed. Therefore, the type of adaptation is very important. I have given them advice before, to use more images to impact, and selling feelings is secondary...it must be in line with the current market!"

Chairman Warner nodded repeatedly after hearing this. These words really touched his heart.

However, he still hasn't decided which one to shoot in the end.

"Neptune!"

Su Yi said slowly.

Not just the 'eyes of the prophet' of later generations.

The current market is really lacking a movie about a hero in the water.

And the filming will definitely be very beautiful, and the pictures alone are enough to make many fans look forward to it.

"Less intrigue, more special effects and fighting."

This is Su Yi’s final suggestion.

Chairman Warner frowned. Normally, this kind of thing was not his concern.

But now it has come to a critical moment. If they don’t catch up with the pace of Marvel heroes, the market will gradually forget about them!
This is the cruel market. Even with so many years of foundation, you will be ruthlessly left behind!

How many film and television companies that seemed to never go bankrupt have now either been acquired or disappeared from the audience's sight.

If Warner continues to be arrogant, the future outcome will definitely not be good.

"Neptune."

He went over it quickly in his mind.

Indeed, there are no superheroes of this kind on the market now, and even a gimmick can attract the attention of countless people!
"Director Su, thank you for your advice. I am going to start the project now, otherwise some film and television companies may get ahead of me. But can you guide us in the filming?"

The chairman of Warner knew that if Su Yi were to shoot the film, it might be another box office miracle.

"No, I have other things to do. But the director last time, James Wan, was pretty good. I think he can make this movie well."

James Wan is not a Dragon Chinese, but a Chinese who grew up abroad. In fact, he already had his own fame in 2004. At that time, Su Yi had not graduated yet, but he had already started directing and filming "Saw".

Several later works are even more classics.

They are still filming Fast and Furious 7.

But despite their fame, no movie has ever been made about the superhero.

If they invite him, they will feel a little unsure.

"Director Su performed an unparalleled underwater dance at a party in your city. It even shocked the whole world. It would be great if I could give him some guidance. Oh, by the way, there were so many people just now. Actually, there is one more piece of news I haven't told you."

Chairman Warner sighed, then shared some of the intelligence he had investigated.

They can't be too close to Su Yi in public, at least that's what the people above require.

So he didn't say much when there were many people around just now.

"The investigation into the Red Star House actually yielded some results. Ms. Liu Yifei, someone of ours has seen her."

Chairman Warner took out a photo.

Su Yi's pupils suddenly grew larger. If this photo was published in domestic entertainment news, it would be a major headline news.

And he was not paying attention to any gossip news, but Liu Yifei holding a child!
Although he was in disguise, Su Yi recognized him immediately.

His heart began to beat wildly and his whole body trembled.

Chairman Warner looked at Su Yi's expression and guessed something in his mind.

In fact, although it is a new era now, for people of their level, having several wives is nothing.

A few decades ago, this was even considered legitimate.

So he didn't think it was a big deal, and didn't feel that he had caught Su Yi.

"Not many people know about this matter. Only my private detective knows about it. And the photos were not copied... Don't worry, there won't be any problems."

Su Yi stroked the photo gently. Because it was a candid photo and it was taken hastily, the expression on the face could not be seen clearly and the child was wrapped tightly.

This is my own child!
Su Yi has lived two lives and has seen all kinds of big occasions, but this is the first time he has had this feeling.

He looked at the photo for a long time without coming back to his senses.

Su Yi, who had everything under control just now, fell silent.

The Warner chairman didn't say anything and just waited.

"Where are they?"

After an unknown amount of time, Su Yi raised his head.

Although he had controlled his emotions, he was still trembling slightly.
