China Entertainment: Let you shoot for charity and make tens of billions?
Chapter 713: The collaboration that shocked Diane, will it once again hit No. 1 in film history?
In fact, this proposal was not a whim of Su Yi. He had planned to do so from the beginning, but later because the timing was not right. This can be regarded as Shiqinghuayi has been working on IP. But because of the short time, it has not been widely circulated.
The IPs are not as influential as those of Disney. The time given to Su Yi is too short. Without time to settle, it will not be welcomed by the world. The poetic and picturesque platform still needs time to grow and slowly carry out cultural output.
But now Disney is at its peak, and the latest Avengers movie is already filming the second part, and according to the original trajectory, it may even be among the top 2 in the world box office.
Although both of Su Yi's films are now on the world box office rankings.
The first Wolf Warrior was a film with a patriotic theme, which was completely pushed forward by domestic audiences. In addition, Su Yi's reputation as the number one box office movie attracted many people to watch it.
To be honest, this movie was a bit tricky because it did not gain communication and recognition from most other countries. It only rose to a high position later because of its anti-war theme.
The reason why Su Yi no longer shoots similar movies is because the Western and North American markets will no longer give him such an opportunity. No matter how exciting a movie is, it will not be known to the public without any publicity.
Although the Poetry and Painting Platform has been filming all the time and has invested a lot, there are some TV dramas that require special effects. Both the investment and the shooting cycle take a long time to prepare. If you want to make a well-made TV series, these are all necessary. For example, it is not difficult to adapt mythological events from ancient times into TV dramas. It just takes a lot of time and special effects, but if it is filmed, the effect will definitely shock the world.
This kind of cultural output is a must.
Moreover, changes to the history of Dragon Kingdom mythology do not require copyright, and all companies can shoot them. When the time comes, he will, in his capacity as the president of the Film Association, summon most directors to have a good talk about this topic at the annual meeting. Because it is for export abroad, try to avoid making random changes or tampering with it as much as possible. With his appeal, his former identity in the system, and his relationship with the General Administration, even if other directors cannot all listen to Su Yi, they will at least be cautious.
This is not about blocking the director's talent, but about setting a rule that can be well discussed.
It is not about standing still, but about wanting to make progress together and establish a stable industry standard.
In the end, we can create an Avengers-like alliance. At least when they are working together, their fighting power should not collapse, and there should be some sense of logic.
Something like this.
Although the cultural history and background are different, the adapted scripts must continue to improve and have their own innovations to attract more people, especially to have their own cultural style.
But currently cooperating with Warner Bros. is a bit helpless, but we have to do it.
First of all, Warner has many IPs that can be changed. If they cooperate with them, Su Yi will actually have the advantage at present, because he knows the copyrights of Huna brothers. Whether it is Aquaman, Batman, or Superman, they can attract a large number of people to watch, especially the Batman and Superman series, which are the childhood of many people. When Warner cartoons were introduced, those fans are the main consumers now.
Moreover, Longguo also needs to have its own cultural characteristics.
"Mr. Diane, we are old friends. We can talk frankly. I am not that interested in making movies now. It's not because I have lost my desire for money, but because I want to make the Poetry and Painting platform better. However, the Poetry and Painting platform has encountered great resistance in North America. I think it has nothing to do with the quality of the TV."
Su Yi suddenly said thoughtfully.
Although Dai An is a foreigner, he reacts quickly when encountering these things. He thinks seriously about Su Yi's words.
There must be some exchange of interests here!
"Can I understand that if you ask Mr. Su Yi to make a movie, then let us help promote the poetic and picturesque platform! In fact, although Warner Pictures has some influence in the Star Flag Country, it is far from being able to cover the sky with one hand or even influence the political arena. We are completely different from those traditional manufacturing companies, and even the routes we take are very different. We are mainly focused on making money, while the other party thinks that only by controlling the government can they protect their property... In fact, what they don't know is that with those damn Jews around, no matter how much they control it, it will be useless. In the end, it is the Jewish capital power that will have the final say."
Diane did not give a direct answer, but instead cleverly avoided the question.
In fact, his meaning was very simple. He was willing to give money, but he was powerless to promote the Poetry and Painting Platform. Even if he agreed, the effect might not be too good. This was a sincere statement, and his purpose was also to cooperate with Su Yi.
Everyone knows that Su Yi hasn't made a movie for a long time. If he directs another movie now, it will cause a sensation around the world.
Such a show would attract more attention. Regardless of the final box office, the first-day box office would definitely not be low. Warner Bros. also saw this point and asked Diane to come to negotiate.
"It doesn't matter. As long as there is promotion, it doesn't matter if the effect is great. Just like I was the world's number one box office before, but now I'm boycotted. If I make a movie again, it will only be famous but may not bring in such a large profit."
After hearing Su Yi's words, Dai An's eyes lit up. This Dragon countryman is still as difficult to deal with as he was a few years ago, but his skills and talents are certainly very impressive.
Just this one movie, 13 Years a Slave, completely convinced him that a movie with such a niche theme could actually cause so many riots!
After that, he believed that Su Yi would definitely achieve even greater success in the future.
As expected, many of Su Yi's subsequent works won major honors, and he even became the world's number one box office director!
There are many famous directors, whether they are good at art or business, who cannot achieve such great success.
Because there is only one number one in the world!
And countless directors are eyeing this position, and they are trying to find a way to shoot the best work to replace it.
This honor is usually given to white people.
Because the systems are customized by them, and they also set the main theme of the world.
But an oriental director used their rules and took the top spot!
This makes countless Hollywood directors feel ashamed. Warner Bros. is very fortunate, because no matter who is the first, as long as they cooperate with them, it will be fine.
Moreover, the relationship between Warner Bros. and Longguo has always been pretty good. Although many times it is due to interests, at least there has been no large-scale insulting behavior.
This is also the reason why Su Yi has always cooperated with them.
"Well, I think that's a good suggestion."
Diane agreed reluctantly.
He knew that Shiqinghuayi needed to find capital to open up the North American market, and Su Yi's name was still somewhat sensitive in North America. Someone might come to investigate, and who knows when Su Yi would completely annoy the government of Xingqi Country and be directly banned. So they were taking risks in this matter, but so far no similar incidents had occurred, so they could agree first.
"For the next collaboration, I hope to reach the top of the world box office..."
After hearing this, Liu's mother was so scared that she almost threw away her chopsticks.
Although this was her own home and it was okay to lose her composure, the other party was one of the senior figures of Warner Bros. Liu's mother knew how powerful her half-son-in-law was, but she also understood one truth: no matter how high an official was, he was not as good as the one in charge.
Diane had been in contact with them before and helped them with many things.
Liu's mother also knew that this was done for Su Yi's sake.
But no matter what, this is a distinguished guest and basic etiquette should be maintained.
After hearing Su Yi's words, she was completely shocked.
Is it so easy to become the world's number one box office now?
However, if Su Yi had not achieved such results, she would never have believed that this would come true.
Feifei, who was standing by, looked at Su Yi with a smile. Even though she had given birth to a child for him, she still looked like a young girl.
Seeing the senior's calm yet domineering look, Liu Yifei gradually felt admiration in her heart. She was already very moved by the words just now, because for her, Su Yi was willing to give up everything to give them an identity and status, which was obviously sacrificing himself.
But Liu Yifei didn't want him to do that. Feifei was a giving person and she didn't want to make things difficult for her senior. She gave birth to the child not to threaten him with doing anything.
What's more, Red Star House is making a lot of money now, enough to provide them with food and clothing.
In fact, Liu Yifei herself is also very good at making money. With a few endorsements, an ordinary person may not be able to spend so much money in ten lifetimes. However, the care and love from Su Yi made her heart very touched.
Not to mention Liu's mother, even Dai An seemed to have heard it wrong, so he confirmed it again in English. After getting the correct answer, he sat on the stool in a daze, as if he was dreaming.
You should know that the reason why the previous film became the number one in the world was entirely because of the strong support provided by the Dragon Country market.
Warner Bros. has also done some analysis for this, so Su Yi's box office appeal is probably around RMB 100 billion. In other words, if he truly makes a movie that can appeal to the feelings of his compatriots, then the box office of 100 billion will definitely be no problem.
As for the remaining overseas box office, it will not be for Su Yi's sake, and it may even lose points in this regard.
In fact, after the last movie was released in many places, the box office finally became the first in film history, which actually made audiences in many countries regret it. It was as if they helped the enemy witness a world miracle.
Moreover, Su Yi hasn't made any movies for such a long time that his popularity is actually not as high as before, at least on the world stage.
However, no one dared to underestimate Su Yi's strength, because the last time he made a casual move, he allowed Hongxing to shoot a movie about black people and made hundreds of millions of dollars with a small investment.
Maybe this box office is not so amazing for the world rankings, but you have to know that this is a low-budget movie with an investment of several million US dollars. To have such an effect has already made many investors jealous!
This is simply a money printing machine!
And just because of the killer hit of the first Red Star House movie, the second animated film Zootopia also started to attract attention.
Liu's mother doesn't care about first or second place, she only cares about the box office.
The same goes for Diane. For a director, ranking may be his reputation.
But for capital, as long as they make money, that’s all that matters.
"It's still a military movie? That shouldn't be the case, right?"
Diane knew that this trip was not in vain!
Because he understood that if Su Yi were to make a new movie, it would shock and attract the attention of the world. If it was a joint filming, Warner would also be able to make a lot of money!
The minimum box office revenue is hundreds of millions of dollars. Who wouldn’t want to participate in such a collaboration? But it doesn’t mean that you can invest just because you have money.
"It's nothing, actually... A good movie is gripping, and those who like it will buy it. This time I plan to have some heroes from the East and the West join forces! Make a movie for joint cultural promotion. This way, it may fail, or it may cause a wild growth in the box office, but no matter what, I need your investment."
Diane thought carefully about Su Yi's words. In fact, this was not the first person to bring it up. Some Hollywood directors had previously set their sights on the market in Longguo and wanted to create some famous scenes from China and the West.
But it failed later because the integration was not very good. Not to mention that most of the investment was given to the actors, the special effects were very average. And it was not very sincere.
The most important thing is that they don’t know the status of Qin Shihuang in the hearts of the Long people. Some people once said that without the First Emperor, Long Country might be divided like Europe. Some people say that this is a bit exaggerated. After all, without Qin Shihuang, there would be other capable people.
But no matter what, in most people's minds, Qin Shihuang's merits outweigh his faults.
The so-called Sino-Western co-production movie was clearly an act of smearing. It would be strange if it didn’t flop at the box office!
Moreover, foreigners were not very happy with the film, and some even felt confused. The cause and effect were not clear. Such a film made Dai An even reluctant to invest, but he knew that Su Yi must have his own reasons. This director with the lowest box office in the world did not get his reputation in vain, but was made by real swords and guns.
Whether it's 13 Years a Slave or Get Out, these seemingly niche movies have brought in huge box office profits.
A movie with patriotic elements can actually become the number one at the box office!
It was something Diane could never imagine.
"Have you watched the recently popular drama Nezha?"
Su Yi said suddenly.
"How can I not watch such an animated film? It is now the world's number one animated film in box office history, and its release date keeps getting delayed."
Diane licked his dry lips and felt his blood pressure rise a little.
The director on the other side didn't say anything very exciting, but he felt his blood boiling.
Even a little dizzy.
You know, he is a senior executive of Warner Bros. He has seen all kinds of scenes, but today, during an ordinary dinner, he is defining the future number one in the box office? (End of this chapter)
