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

The two brothers must have different ideas in their minds. Jiang Wen has tended to be a director in recent years, but he also plays some roles himself. Especially after the success of Let the Bullets Fly, he made another movie in the style of the Republic of China, but the box office was not as good as before, which made him very distressed.

I even started to doubt my life!

Jiang Wen also understood that the world is constantly evolving, and his old ways might not work anymore.

From the beginning to now, all he is good at and interested in are satirical movies, but there has never been a good script.

Su Yi once said in the media that the script of Let the Bullets Fly was also adapted from a novel, and the director of this film was Jiang Wen, and he was just a figurehead.

This earned Jiang Wen a lot of fame and made many of his peers look at him differently, because regardless of the quality of the film, being able to get such a high box office in the market at that time was a skill in itself.

Moreover, many people at that time felt that Jiang Wen had lowered her own status a bit, because although Su Yi had high box office, his status in the film and television industry was average.

But now it seems that Jiang Wen is the most visionary director. He has never been convinced by anyone in his life, except for one young man, who has now reached such a height.

"There are still good scripts. Director Jiang, are you interested in participating in the filming of Black Myth: Wukong?"

Su Yi also has high hopes for this movie.

Now we have also established a game company to carry out simultaneous development.

Perhaps because he felt a little guilty, Su Yi did not ask for any copyright fees and allowed the other party to take advantage of his popularity.

As a time traveler in this position, you cannot just care about your own business, nor should you disrupt the company that is supposed to be developing.

Su Yi even asked Liu Shishi to find someone to pay special attention and found the prototype studio of this company.

"Hasn't there already been a candidate for this?"

Jiang Wen was a little stunned, not because he found it difficult, but because he felt like he had seen this news before.

"Hasn't it been trending recently? The Sixth Master who played the Monkey King has been attacking him during media interviews for some reason. He even posted a video saying that Journey to the West is our national treasure and should not be blasphemed. Journey to the West should not be named Black Myth or something like that. There have been quite a few comments from netizens recently. The previous director felt a lot of pressure and resigned directly."

Su Yi was also a little helpless.

When you are famous, you are prone to gossip. After the rise of Long Video, many out-of-date stars seem to have seen a new track.

That's live!
And there are also many people who have successfully made a comeback, but live streaming on the Internet is not just about staying in front of the camera. You have to have your own talents, otherwise you will not be popular at all. Maybe at the beginning everyone is very excited and thinks they have found the people they loved to watch in their childhood.

But if it's boring all the time, no one will watch it.

This is completely cold.

We have not yet evolved into the era of big data push, and many things rely on popularity.

What is most likely to attract attention and become a hot topic nowadays is things related to poetry and painting.

Now Shiqinghuayi will display some of the projects and TV series that are being filmed on the platform, many of which have progress bars.

In other words, I was a criminal policeman and took the photo too hastily, and it was Uncle Su Yi who exposed it at that time.

Other works all have their own progress bars.

As a result, people pay attention to these things every day, and some people can’t keep their cool and even curse on the Internet.

Su Yi thought this kind of thing was very normal.

Just like what netizens said, the platform is just getting started, and the "happy" ones are a group of people in the future, who will have mature poetry and painting to watch in a few years.

But so far there are indeed too few works on the platform, so many people support it by purchasing memberships while cursing Su Yi on his blog.

There is no way, the feeling of waiting is really unpleasant, even die-hard fans have this mentality.

In fact, this is also a show of support, because no one will say how good the TV series is, they just say they are too slow and cheat the audience's money - many people even threaten to refund. Of course, this is just verbal intimidation. Now everyone knows that Su Yi is not going to shoot a movie in the short term, and most of his works are poetic and picturesque.

Some so-called artists who have been forced to remain silent for a long time finally couldn't stand it anymore and found some ways to make a quick comeback.

For example, these six teachers.

After seeing the Black Myth: Wukong project was launched, Teacher Liu could no longer sit still.

No matter what his purpose is, he is now at the center of public opinion.

"I know him. He thought that after he played the Monkey King, the role belonged to him. He also said that he respected the traditional culture of the Dragon Kingdom. I know his purpose in my heart."

Jiang Wen interrupted at this time. This is his personality. He is fearless.

If Su Yi didn't exist, he would have criticized even some people within the system.

"Yes, he criticized Black Myth: Wukong, saying that the name was somewhat disrespectful to traditional culture. He felt that no matter what the content was, at least the name should be changed. This matter also became a hot topic due to a lot of discussion among netizens, and many people supported him, so it put a lot of pressure on us as a director, and finally we chose another script."

Su Yi smiled bitterly helplessly, because he knew that such things would always happen in the future.

But I didn't expect the power of the Internet to be so great. The doubts at the beginning turned into abuses in the end. It was destined that this TV series would go through the abuses.

But this is normal.

Most people grew up watching Journey to the West, so it is not surprising that they have some different feelings towards Teacher Liu.

What Su Yi didn't expect was that netizens' reaction was so strong.

But when it comes to these works without copyright disputes, it is actually the screenwriter's business to make any changes, as long as they are not too excessive. Su Yi doesn't think it is a big deal. He can't just stop others from filming war films after he filmed a film about the Battle of Shanghai, right?

"This director's mental quality is really poor. But now the cyberbullying is really serious. I saw your uncle was almost bullied by the cyberbullying a few days ago. This is normal."

Jiang Wen consoled him and took another sip of beer. Su Yi's alcohol tolerance was average, even Yang Mi couldn't drink as much as him, but the two brothers drank like water. At first, they all wanted to drink white wine, but later, seeing that Su Yi insisted on drinking beer, the two of them just followed the host's wishes. Jiang Wen seemed to be comforting him, but in fact, he had something on his mind.

Because he knows that joining the poetry and painting platform this time will not only make him famous, but also Ang Lee and Wong Kar-wei are here, and he is the representative of famous directors from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong!
Although it was a friendly exchange, he had met both of them before and they were not particularly aggressive directors, but the pressure was still enormous.

In fact, the abilities of many famous directors are similar. At most, the performance of the lenses and the shooting techniques are slightly different. As for which one is better, that is a matter of opinion.

Ever since he decided to join the Poetry and Painting Platform, he has been waiting for a good script to appear.

Now that he's here, he has to make a splash. He can't be shy just for the sake of face. That's not his character.

And Jiang Wen also knows that not every director can add poetic and picturesque elements.

Some famous directors, such as Lu Chuan, also wanted to join this platform, but were politely declined.

In Liu Shishi's words, it's not that she looks down on him, but the poetic and picturesque platform is in its early stages and it could be dangerous if the capital chain breaks, so they can't just hire famous directors.

"Yes, I am mentally strong enough, I am not afraid of any cyberbullying. But in fact, this power is really great. Shi Shi's Weibo comments are still not open. However, many directors can't bear this kind of pressure and give up. Moreover, Black Myth: Wukong will use a lot of special effects, a lot of investment, and many dangerous actions. The actors and directors have to make great efforts and hard work to succeed. However, this is just a TV series and can't bring too much profit, so it is normal for the director to give up."

This is indeed a huge pressure. After hearing Su Yi's words, Jiang Wu nodded repeatedly. He is not completely dependent on his brother, but has his own way and knows the difficulties of filming.

Many times it takes a lot of effort and requires a huge investment.

But the result may not only be poor box office, but also the collapse of word of mouth, or even ridicule by the audience - Chen Kaige taught them a good lesson and witnessed how the god-level fell to the mortal world.

So after hearing such words, I felt a little emotional.

With big investments and big productions, not only the investment companies need to take risks, but their directors as well.

The reason why Su Yi took the risk was that he understood that in the future development, the poetic and picturesque platform could not be entirely movie-level productions. There should be more drama-based programs like I Am a Detective in order to maintain the balance of income and expenditure of the platform.

You have to know that shooting a movie requires not only the initial investment, but also the post-production, which requires sky-high prices.

Once a problem occurs, the consequences will be very serious.

These poetic and picturesque directors also need to be hired with high salaries, because no one in this world will pay for you for nothing.

Even when doing charity work before, if there was no source of income, no one would do it.

However, if you want to promote your own culture and activate potential markets, these money-burning and even thankless tasks still need someone to do them.

A few years ago, Su Yi talked about his vision for the future with the bosses of several film production companies. He shared some copyrights of Shanghai Animation Film Studio for joint development and received support from many film production companies.

I originally thought that there would be a situation where a hundred flowers would bloom and a hundred schools of thought would contend, but as it stands now, there are only a few successful ones, and most are just following the trend.

The mainstream movies on the market now are still comedies because they require less investment and bring more profits.

This is not an abnormal development, but it is a bit too one-dimensional, such as the Happy Twist Company and comedians such as Dapeng and Jia Ling.

Especially Happy Twist, whose first movie "Charlotte's Troubles" was released this year and grossed over 20 billion!
This instantly filled their company with confidence, and they immediately began to prepare for the next film. Movies should be a flourishing field, especially to enter the international market. It is not enough to rely on movies that only Dragon people can understand.

There should be some foreign superhero movies. The first goal is to understand the other party's culture without knowing it! First attract the audience, and then slowly export the culture.

This is one of Su Yi's goals after leaving the system.

"Indeed, there are too many media outlets. We have no control over many things. We have spent tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars from the producers and investment companies, and ended up in trouble. It is very likely that the Internet was the cause of the incident!"

Su Yi felt a little emotional, but even if he was in the system, he couldn't control this kind of thing, not to mention that he has left now.

"received!"

Jiang Wen lit a cigarette.

This made Su Yi look at him with some admiration. A controversial adaptation, in fact, no matter how good the reputation is, it is still controversial, and there are as many criticisms as praises.

Su Yi had already told everything, but Jiang Wen still answered.

As expected, it’s Jiang Wen!
"I won't say any more. I will send you the detailed script and investment cost when the time comes."

Jiang Wen was smoking a cigarette, feeling a little regretful.

"Can I ask what TV series the other two directors are shooting?"

Jiang Wen longed for victory, even if it was just a small win.

But the opponent is too powerful. Faced with Li Ang's fame and talent, Zhang Yi may have to be cautious even if he comes.

But this is also an opportunity to break through myself!
Jiang Wen knew that Su Yi was not a mythical person, and not all cooperation with him would be successful. One must have real talent.

"Director Wang Jiawei will be here tomorrow, and Director Lee Ang will be here soon. They are also very picky about the scripts they choose. They haven't decided yet, but they will probably all be urban dramas, because they have limited time and they have other works on hand."

Su Yi also knew what Jiang Wen was thinking. As the saying goes, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. They are all people in the art circle. Except for Su Yi who is now T0, the others are all floating in T1.

Therefore, the competition between them is still very fierce. I believe both Wang Jiawei and director Ang Lee think so.

"Come on, drinking can't make you drunk and dreamless, so let's go back to study the script! Suddenly I feel like I have found my life goal. It's been a long time since I felt youthful and impetuous."

Jiang Wen looked at the script with great interest. He had never filmed a TV series, but he knew the format of TV series. He took a few glances at it just now and saw all kinds of new words like "destiny man" and so on. They seemed to have nothing to do with Journey to the West.

But it is precisely this that can attract the audience!

If a remake of Journey to the West was made now, I guess not many people would be looking forward to it. (End of this chapter)
