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

Not everyone in the entertainment industry is like Su Yi and has this ability.

They still have some awe in their hearts when facing their predecessors, especially Gong Li, who has a huge influence.

Don't look at his nationality, but he pays a lot of taxes every year, and his status in the entertainment industry is also very high. Even when facing Ang Lee, he treats him as a friend.

Therefore, even when facing Gong Li, Yang Mi was very cautious. Knowing that he might offend her, he would not do anything to her, and even if he tried to please her, he would not get any practical benefits.

But that’s how it is in the entertainment industry. Even if you don’t have any interactions, you have to at least save face, especially when facing some seniors.

"You are all familiar actors. You are very popular recently. Your future achievements will not be lower than mine. You don't have to be polite. If you follow Director Su, you will definitely have great development in the future."

Gong Li smiled. Considering his status, this sentence was really humble and polite.

"Oh, look at what you said. We are just doing small things. If I can achieve as much as you in the future, I will laugh out loud in my dreams."

Yang Mi is a sweet-talker herself, and the person in front of her is her senior, so there is nothing wrong with a few words of flattery. Although Gong Li's reputation on the Internet is not very good, and some people think that it's nothing that she changed her nationality, Gong Li has made many contributions. She also pays high taxes for every movie she shoots, and regardless of whether the films she shot in the past are recognized as good or bad, at least she is one of the very few stars who have gone abroad, so she still has an identity and a high status in the film and television industry.

Originally, Yang Mi and his friends could not sit in the first row due to their identities.

Since I was following Su Yi, I sat down next to him. Logically, the seats were customized, but the organizer didn't even ask who Su Yi would bring. They just asked how many people he would bring, and then prepared the seats. Since it was invited by Ang Lee, there was no doubt about that.

There was not only Gong Li next to them, but also many big stars, some with great acting skills, and some very popular actors recently. They were sitting on the stools at the award ceremony. There was some panic on the faces of Guli Nazha and Di Lieba.

After all, compared to them, the two are indeed unknown little people, that is, they played some roles in the poetic and picturesque platform, some of which were not even the protagonists, although they all performed well. But it is reasonable that they can't come here, after all, the previous Golden Horse Awards were attended by some well-known people.

"Director Su Yi, long time no see. I heard that the Golden Horse Awards will be broadcast live this time, and the guests are all old friends. I was thinking that if you didn't come, I wouldn't come either."

Several famous directors from Hong Kong came over with smiles, including Wong Jing and Tsui Hark.

Some are actors I have worked with in the past.

This time, Ang Lee obviously spent a lot of money, using his own connections to invite almost all of his friends. Even some directors he didn't know were contacted through his connections, in an effort to create the most glorious Golden Horse Awards.

Among them are several currently popular Hollywood directors, and the Chinese-American James Wan is one of them.

After seeing Su Yi, he went to the front row to say hello.

"Director Su! It's such a pity that we missed each other every time and didn't meet each other very often. You invited me to film a TV series on the Poetry and Painting Platform. I just have some time now. I wonder if I have the honor to participate."

After hearing what James Wan said, everyone else was shocked because the tone of his voice was a little too polite.

Although Su Yi has achieved great success now, there have been no new movie IPs released recently.

James Wan has also been very popular in Hollywood movies recently. The Aquaman he just filmed successfully helped Warner Bros. turn around its predicament, and the IP of Aquaman has done very well. The company is also preparing for the second film.

After its release, the box office has skyrocketed and even made it into the top 100 in the world box office.

You know, before, because such a big IP as Superman vs. Batman failed, and the Avengers series took the opportunity to rise. Some people said that DC's comics were not good, and the film and television adaptations were also very mediocre. Faced with such a situation, Warner Bros. was a bit desperate, because they could write a good script and do a good job of publicity. In the end, it was Su Yi who came up with the idea.

Shoot a new IP Aquaman instead of revolving around some classic IPs of the past.

Because neither the Joker nor Batman can become a phenomenal hit. The Batman: The Dark Knight that Su Yi shot back then has become a classic, and it seems that it is difficult to surpass it in terms of plot.

However, DC has a lot of superheroes and a lot of choices. But if the box office fails again, even Warner Bros. will not be able to bear it. After all, the investment in this movie requires huge funds, not only the investment in the characters, but also the special effects of the movie, etc. When all these investors no longer trust Warner, Warner's movie box office will also be greatly impacted.

Therefore, the senior executives of Warner Bros. specially met with Su Yi, which was risky because Zhouguo was not willing to let Hollywood capital have any relationship with Su Yi at that time.

Warner Bros. is also in a headache when they can't hire anyone. There are many Hollywood film directors, but if they are famous, the price is much higher, and they may not necessarily earn a high box office.

For some things like this, high box office can be achieved without high investment and high reputation.

But whether it is superstition or belief, it seems that since the filming of the movie, it seems that there has been little loss of money. Strictly speaking, it has never lost money, so Warner Bros.' first choice is Su Yi. However, the scene at that time was really special, and even Warner Bros. could not do anything. At that time, the Star Flag Country was very tight, and CNN would report it continuously as long as there was a little movement.

Under such strict supervision, Warner Bros. had no choice but to give up, but still showed their goodwill and helped Su Yi find Liu Yifei.

He also helped Su Yi on many occasions. At that time, Su Yi directly pointed out the direction of filming Aquaman and introduced a Chinese director.

Later, AskZiren lived up to expectations and the Aquaman he filmed directly entered the top 100 in the global box office. It is still in theaters and the final result may be even better.

But the two of them rarely met each other.

"Director Ziren, I've heard of your name for a long time."

Su Yi shook the other person's hand. At his point in life, humility was ingrained in his bones, and he also showed goodwill to these famous Chinese directors.

"No, no, compared to your level, my achievements are insignificant. You are our role model."

James Wan also excitedly shook Su Yi's hand. He was not only grateful to him for recommending him to film Aquaman, but more importantly, he was happy to meet his idol.

Although Su Yi is young, his achievements are truly admirable.

This year's Golden Horse Awards also adopted a very special format. Ang Lee knew that this was an unprecedented event. He was able to invite all the famous directors from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong, as well as overseas Chinese directors.

"Welcome Director Su Yi. I'm sorry... I called you here when you just gave birth to your son. I'm afraid it will affect your mood now, but the date is such a coincidence."

Director Ang Lee was chatting with other people with an apologetic and gentle look. When he saw Su Yi, he walked straight over.

The two photos also brought relief, because he was very happy that Su Yi could come this time. After all, it could add a lot of glory to the Golden Horse Awards.

This time, reporters from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong, as well as foreign reporters gathered. When I first came in, countless flashbulbs flashed, just like flash bombs, making it impossible to open my eyes.

Not to mention that Guli Nazha and Dilraba Dilmurat were a little afraid of such a grand scene, even some experienced stars felt a little surprised. At such a time, a lot of money needs to be spent - at least some authoritative reporters and photographers still have to be paid, otherwise any raw photo that is leaked may cause a blow to their careers.

Everyone maintains their own beautiful side, and this is the biggest gap between women and men, or more precisely, the gap between acting talents and idol talents.

The old actors who are not good-looking have nothing to fear, because they don’t rely on their appearance to make a living anyway.

"It doesn't matter. This Golden Horse Awards is a grand event. On behalf of the domestic film association, I would like to express my heartfelt congratulations. I also hope that Director Ang Lee can attend our Golden Rooster Awards film festival."

Su Yi had a relaxed smile on his face. He had traveled through time and space, so naturally he knew some things.

He felt that destroying the Golden Horse Awards was not the best solution, but rather suppressing all those strange remarks was the ultimate solution.

This is also a battle of public opinion.

The reason why Su Yi came here was not only to give face to Ang Lee, but also to take control of the situation on the island. There was not much he could do, only in terms of movies and TV series.

In fact, many times, there is no hatred between the two sides, but many misunderstandings arise because of their different daily lifestyles.

For Su Yi, he was the one who came to resolve this misunderstanding. Although he was no longer in the system, the propaganda leader had already talked to him before he came.

"The public opinion on the other side of the island is very important to us. Although you are no longer a member of the system, you are the most suitable person to go to the Golden Horse Awards."

In fact, there was not much attempt to persuade Su Yi to leave, and it was not only because Su Yi himself had some flaws.

The most important thing is that after leaving the system, even if you no longer have this identity, some things will be done more smoothly.

Many times, CNN and BBC would attack Su Yi, saying that he did many things with his internal identity for political purposes. Although these things were nonsense, it was evidence in the hands of others. It would not sound good if it got out, so after Su Yi left the system, the higher-ups quickly made some plans against him.

Of course, it’s not to make Su Yi do anything difficult.

For example, after this year's Golden Horse Awards, Su Yi is almost the most honorable judge.

But this year's Golden Horse Awards is different from previous years because it is broadcast live, and it seems that the awards are also broadcast live. It may also be to avoid the previous incident. At the previous Golden Horse Awards, director Ang Lee invited Gong Li to come.

At that time, they talked about fairness and justice, but as a representative of the mainland, not only did they not win a single award, but many awards were also tilted towards the islands. Many small and unknown works, which were even the same as works by internet celebrities, were given high honors, and even surpassed the works of some elderly people.

Actually, this is nonsense!

It is entirely for the purpose of making the directors and actors on the island famous, but it is actually stepping on the fame of the mainland actors.

This is a bit unbearable.

This made Gong Li look gloomy throughout the whole process. It was not because she was unhappy about not winning the award. But when she came to the award ceremony, she felt some people's hostility. This kind of thing does not need to be explained, it can be seen directly.

Despite this, Ang Lee also invited her this time.

Gong Li hesitated for a long time, but still came to participate, because he knew that it was better to be more obedient in front of the master. After all, even Su Yi came.

But Su Yi has attracted much attention from the world recently.

Although he hasn't made a movie in a few years, he still has a great reputation.

Almost everything the family does can attract news attention.

Moreover, in the eyes of many people, although Su Yi has left the system, everyone still knows clearly what he represents. His coming here represents the attitude of the country.

So the actors who had unpleasant experiences with the Golden Horse Awards last time immediately agreed after receiving the invitation, especially when they heard that Su Yi was coming.

"Don't worry, I have arranged everything. There won't be any more shocking remarks. And don't worry, Gong Li. I'll let Director Su Yi come this time. Although he won't participate in the awards, he has a veto power! As long as he thinks the movie is not good, there will be no shady dealings! He will just veto it!"

After hearing this, everyone else was stunned.

Because this gives Su Yi a lot of power, this is a live broadcast.

Is it possible that this time we are really going to be truly fair?

Not to mention the Golden Horse Awards, even other awards are not available, right?
Su Yi himself was a little surprised.

"Director Ang Lee, there's no need to do this. I haven't even seen many of their films. Isn't this even more unfair?"

Su Yi said modestly.

"It doesn't matter. With Director Su Yi's name, it's fair! I believe no one will question it."

Ang Lee knew Su Yi's character. Although he became famous at a young age, he was also very humble. Although in the eyes of many people, Su Yi had done many extreme things.

"That would certainly be very fair."

Gong Li took over the conversation before Su Yi could refuse.

"This is going to roast me on the fire."

Su Yi looked at Li An and knew that the other party must have made arrangements. This gave him face, but he did not inform him in advance. (End of this chapter)
