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

The movie Get Out was definitely a low-budget film, and the actors invited were all unknown, and Liu Yifei did not play a role.

The entire film was directed by an unknown third-tier black director from Ghana. Although he is very talented, he is discriminated against in Hollywood.

Because some Hollywood investment companies believe that black directors are destined to not be able to shoot any interesting movies. Although the subject of this film is related to black people, Warner Bros. was also planning to find some famous white directors at the beginning.

To be honest, discrimination against some black people is everywhere. Many people don't even know it, but it is like this in their bones. Of course, there are reasons for all this. This nation is not good at creation and likes to plunder. Although they have strong physical fitness, it is difficult for them to have a strong country.

Even Warner Bros., which produced 12 Years a Slave, was the same internally. When Su Yi first started filming the movie at Warner Bros., he encountered a lot of opposition from within the company. This was true for all Chinese directors, not to mention these black people.

However, Su Yi once told Liu Yifei that the details of this movie just need to follow the script and there doesn't need to be much room for creativity. After all, it is not a big-budget movie, but a standard suspense drama movie. It only needs to film the entire script.

So under Liu Yifei's insistence, Red Star Studio took on the pressure from Warner Bros. and almost had a falling out with them, investing only 200 million!
Warner Bros. itself is about to turn against the franchise.

But later, for Su Yi's sake, the film was released in the Star Flag Country.

Although there were many disagreements at the beginning of the filming.

But I have to say that there is a good script and the director is not that picky. This movie was shot in Ghana, a relatively secluded town.

It seems like a film and television base, but in fact it is where Liu Yifei and her family live, and the house is Liu Yifei's neighbor. Liu Yifei's house was also used as a location for filming the entire movie.

The entire film cost less than $200 million, except for the high-definition camera and the director's fees, and the cost of the other actors was very low. There was not much publicity.

But actually there is no need for any publicity, because this is Su Yi's part-time job and screenwriter.

His name is now a well-known brand abroad, and many foreign fans are looking forward to his works.

Especially after he filmed works like "Batman: The Dark Knight", he gained a lot of fans.

Superhero movies are now mainstream, and with their gripping plots, they are bound to be popular.

The poster of Get Out this time shows a black man crying. The black man in the poster has fear on his face, and there are many people in the distance looking at him coldly.

When Su Yi first debuted, he shot satirical films. His first work was "Parasite", which satirized the fear and admiration of the Koreans towards the people of Singapore.

Later, a film was made about the abuse of black people by the American nation several centuries ago.

At that time, it caused a trend of demonstrations and riots, and the black people entered an era of free shopping. The government of the Star-Flag Country also began to come forward and report and clarify in newspapers that the plot in the movie did exist, but it was all a thing of the past. It doesn’t matter that many people don’t understand this history, but we will be better to black people in the future!
Those who are making trouble are not doing it for these bullshit promises.

The most important thing is that after printing a lot of money and distributing it to them, many riots were quelled.

The theme of the movie shot this time is still related to black people.

If it is directed by Su Yi, there may be some capital intervention and the film may not be released smoothly.

But this time Su Yi is only the screenwriter and producer, the film only borrows his fame, and Su Yi does not get much money, which makes this low-budget movie successfully released in North America, but the screening rate is not too high. However, these are minor problems, because the screening rate will be adjusted according to the box office, and movie theaters are not doing charity, they will schedule more screenings for the movies that make money.

At this time, large black words on a white background appeared on the screen.

"This movie contains suspense and horror elements, please choose to watch it with caution."

Due to the principles of film rating in the United States, an explanation was given at the beginning of the film that the island part was directly introduced from the original film, so this part was not deleted.

This time, it will be released almost simultaneously around the world, and the island will also be one of the first releases.

A group of bigwigs and stars in the island's entertainment industry were all sitting in the cinema waiting for the movie to start. This situation is quite rare.

Only Su Yi has such energy.

Everyone here knows that this movie is closely related to Su Yi. Hongxingwu was once synonymous with Su Yi's back garden.

At that time, all the domestic entertainment stars and even the island stars knew that Liu Yifei, this delicate little flower, would sooner or later bloom in Su Yi's palm.

What is surprising is that later, after Liu Yifei left the mainland, Liu Yifei's mother even moved all of Red Star Wood's business to Star Flag Country, which also raised a lot of suspicions.

For example, they broke up because of a breakup, and Su Yi no longer cared about the mother and daughter, which led to their inability to survive in the mainland. Unexpectedly, a work that competed for the top spot in Hollywood came out in the blink of an eye.

And he is still Su Yi's producer and screenwriter.

The audience was quietly waiting for the plot to unfold. The initial filming made people a little drowsy. After all, a feature film also needs foreshadowing.

At the beginning, this movie doesn't look like a professional film, but rather like an everyday recording.

A black man has a white girlfriend, but encounters a lot of unexpected discrimination in daily life.

For example, when a car accident happened, the black man sitting in the passenger seat had to be questioned by the police, and even had to pose in a humiliating manner to submit his ID. This was only resolved under the dominance of his girlfriend. The inquiries that seemed like an interrogation, the suspicion and wariness in his eyes, were all very painful.

But is it still the old routine of white people discriminating against black people?
The audience who were watching the film at this time had some doubts in their hearts. They did not reject this type of movie, but they did not want to see the old routines. They had seen too many such movies.

After the broadcast of 12 Years a Slave, the public reaction was very strong, and many directors also shot similar movies.

It has to be said that these Hollywood directors are very imaginative. Knowing that this subject is very popular, they have also filmed many movies about discrimination against black people.

However, after so many years of filming, the audience's aesthetic taste has long become a bit boring, and their expectations for the plot are not high. I don't know why Su Yi wants to rehash old stuff.

"The plot seems a bit old-fashioned. If you still want to rely on such a plot to attract audiences, then the box office this time probably won't be too high."

There were already people whispering in the cinema, because after all, those who came were professionals, and they were all there to find fault. They basically knew that the director this time was not Su Yi, but they also included this work in Su Yi's collection of works.

"I think so too. The 12 Years a Slave we filmed before is enough."

Two actors seemed to be whispering, but their voices were actually quite loud.

Everyone in the front row could hear it clearly. In fact, the intention was very simple, it was targeting Su Yi.

Some people still don't want to see Su Yi's majestic appearance, and even hope that the movie will get very bad reviews, so that Su Yi, the number one director at the box office, will fall from the altar.

However, the course of the plot quickly slapped them in the face.

Everything seemed very strange. When he arrived at his girlfriend's house, his white girlfriend's family, whether servants or gardeners, were all very friendly to him, but there was a kind of weirdness in their bones.

This look doesn't seem like the look one gives to one's daughter's boyfriend; instead, it's like one is looking at animals - yes, animals that can bring value to them!

For example, a pet dog of good breed will be sold at a good price, or a strong cow will also bring them good taste...

This kind of look is chilling. Ang Lee's face went from frowning at the beginning to a smile at the corner of his mouth now.

He seemed to have understood what was going to happen next.

It is almost universally acknowledged in the film industry that most low-budget, large-scale productions are feature films.

The most important thing is the foreshadowing in the early stages. Every time the audience thinks they have guessed the plot, there are constant reversals.

As the plot deepens, especially after the black guy was hypnotized by his girlfriend's mother, many people have been immersed in the plot.

"This should be a dream of the black guy, or it should be something that is impossible to happen. It should also reflect reality. In real life, white people do marry black people, but the proportion is very small. This girl is beautiful, has a good figure, and comes from a good family. Her parents live in a big house in a small town. The people she knows are all well-known figures. How could they allow a woman to marry a black man?"

"I don't think they sold him into slavery. That would be ridiculous."

After hearing these words, Ang Lee frowned and looked back. The people who spoke were two young actors.

They all had sarcastic smiles on their faces, and even though the cinema was a little dark, Ang Lee could still see them clearly.

Now some young actors on the island are using the Black Continent as a gimmick to become famous.

After all, this is also supported by some forces.

And the most important thing is, whoever can gain the upper hand in front of Su Yi now may become the number one celebrity on the island!

But before Ang Lee could even give a single scolding, the plot had already begun to slap him in the face.

A friend of the male protagonist in the play who is a law enforcement officer said the same thing, saying that some black people became special slaves after being hypnotized.

The strange performances of the black actors in the movie and the abnormal looks of everyone suggest that the making of this movie is not that simple.

The whole town is like a net bag, binding the black male protagonist tighter and tighter!

Especially when the wealthy black man showed up at the dinner accompanied by a white woman who was more than 30 years older than him.

He rushed forward angrily, asking the protagonist to leave here quickly, and then fell into a daze.

It was completely different from when we first met, as if he was schizophrenic.

The same is true for the black maid, who has a chilling smile on her face, but often tears flow down her face.

Although the actors' acting skills are superb, it still gives people a creepy feeling.

……

A movie theater in North America.

"Oh my God! I don't want to watch the rest of the story. It's going to be horrible. Didn't they say there wouldn't be any bloody scenes? But why... the theme of this movie won't be cannibalism, right? If that's the case, I'm going to complain about this movie."

A black audience member clearly felt uncomfortable.

Because I had a sense of being there, especially when I looked at his white girlfriend next to him.

The smile that originally looked very sexy, at this moment, made him a little scared.

"Honey, don't react so strongly, it's just a movie."

As usual, the white girlfriend had a sexy smile on her face and patted her black boyfriend comfortingly.

The black boyfriend forced a smile, but he felt even more upset inside.

The movie itself doesn't have that much magic.

But the immersive feeling makes people feel a little panic, especially after the heroine's mother hypnotized the black man.

Is it a dream or reality?
This is just a little trick for filming a movie. Even if you watch it on your own device, you may not feel that immersive.

But in the movie, there is a sense of being there.

And not everyone can tell the difference between movie plots and reality.

The black audience became increasingly uneasy.

In the first half of the play, it seems that Su Yi is always intimidating the audience, but at the same time he is also comforting the audience. When the black protagonist is uncomfortable or encounters some strange things, his white girlfriend always comforts him gently.

This finally made the audience feel less uncomfortable.

However, when he and his girlfriend were cuddling by the lake, the originally romantic lakeside formed a sharp contrast with what was happening in the villa.

"auctions!"

The auction is auctioning off the black protagonist!

His photo appeared in the yard, and below him were the distinguished guests who had just appeared.

The black man who had been recorded as missing by the law enforcement agency was also sitting there. He looked very calm, with none of his previous misbehavior.

The heroine's father had a serious look on his face.

Bid price!

In the end, a blind man won the final victory.

Now, although the audience is a little nervous, they still don’t know what they are auctioning.

After the black protagonist returned to the villa, everyone turned into "devils".

Especially the transformation of the family, the white girlfriend was frantically looking for the car keys the previous second.

The next second, he was holding the car keys with an expressionless face.

"You know I can't possibly give you the car keys!"

The black audience, who had been immersed in the play just now, immediately felt a chill all over their bodies! (End of this chapter)
