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

Su Yi has been busy with one thing after another.

However, the buzz surrounding the newly released "future director" hasn't waned at all, because Zheng Chenggong represents something significant. And what does Su Yi's identity represent? These are all questions worth exploring further.

Does this represent any kind of signal? However, no one dares to discuss these things too much.

"Is this the end for the future great director? My goodness, I feel like I haven't had enough! There are so many more people who could come up. Many Ming Dynasty generals who fought against the Japanese pirates, and many other famous people, could come up. It's such a pity that it ends like this."

"Actually, this documentary is a bit like the variety show that Director Su Yi produced on Beijing TV before. They are similar in type. However, I guess there will be more in the future. After all, this series is very classic. But let Director Su Yi take a break. He has produced so many works since his debut. Many directors do not have so many masterpieces in their entire lives. He must have racked his brains. You should know that he is still the father of two children."

The issue of his public image collapsing did not materialize. Even if Su Yi himself were to announce those things and admit his reasons, the news would be censored the next day, and most people would not know about it. Even if some quick-witted people saw the news, they would not be able to repost it, and it would disappear quickly. Most people would think it was just some rumors published by some low-quality newspapers, which were controlled by the authorities because they were spreading rumors.

After all, from the time Su Yi debuted until now, even when his public image was about to collapse, he quickly turned the tables. Now, there is official news, so when Su Yi wanted to take all the blame upon himself, he was directly stopped by the authorities.

"That's true. Director Su Yi has been working very hard, and the Poetry and Painting platform has also released a lot of classic web dramas recently. It's good to watch some web dramas now. But I still want to see the future great director because there are many things I didn't know at all. I only learned about them in detail after watching this documentary. Also, if history class back then had been this vivid, I wouldn't have always failed history. Although it wasn't a major subject, it still gave me extra points."

"My favorite part is the scene about the humiliated diplomats. Although the process was very painful to watch, when I saw our diplomats' performance later, I was really excited. To be honest, I really like this documentary. If it weren't for director Su Yi, I wouldn't have any interest in documentaries. But this documentary really refreshed my view of documentaries. I searched for many documentaries but didn't like them. Su Yi's documentary is the one that best suits my ideas."

"That's right, Su Yi's filming is realistic enough, and he also captured the inner thoughts of these historical figures very well. Although the actors' performances were not all perfect, they were still very touching!"

The online reviews are very positive.

Many professional organizations have rated this documentary as a 9, because it more realistically recreates the history of that time and is also engaging for viewers. Many people say this may be due to Su Yi's reputation.

If this documentary had been filmed by someone else, it might not have had such a big impact.

However, this was quickly refuted, because Su Yi was merely attracting viewers; the real skill lies in retaining them. Furthermore, given Su Yi's fame, if he didn't possess some talent, this documentary would likely have been universally panned.

……

TV station.

The station director looked at Su Yi with a hint of guilt on his face. The station's ratings had skyrocketed recently, even breaking previous records. He was utterly impressed by the impact of a documentary.

"I'm sorry to have invited you here so abruptly to film this variety show. It's actually an interview program. The sudden cancellation of this show has been unacceptable to the audience, and many people have even called to complain to the TV station. Although we can explain these complaints, it would be better if you could do it yourself. You used to work in the publicity department, so please do help me out this time. I know you're very busy, and my personal abilities can't bring you any other honors, but please do help the TV station."

The station director spoke very sincerely. In fact, everyone is looking forward to the follow-up programs because if we go back from the Qing Dynasty, there are too many people to film, and the most popular ones are Yue Fei, Qi Jiguang, and others.

If these figures were filmed, the effect would definitely be better, because almost all of them are national heroes!
They are all legends.

These are all eras and dynasties that are generally recognized, but the documentary suddenly ended, leaving them quite disappointed and the audience somewhat dissatisfied, which is understandable.

Left with no other choice, the station manager had to give Su Yi face and call him. Fortunately, Su Yi readily agreed and came over without hesitation. Although the collaboration with Warner Bros. was imminent, one more night wouldn't make a difference.

Moreover, this was broadcast live, which shows the TV station's sincerity.

It's common knowledge that Su Yi enjoys live streaming.

Back when they were on a satellite TV channel, a 'program mishap' occurred.

Although it eventually subsided, it still had a significant impact.

Moreover, he still enjoys live streaming when appearing on shows over the years. However, Su Yi has matured a bit now and is more tactful in his actions, so there's less need to worry about any accidents happening.

"No problem, Director. I've left a hook, which is also a means of future publicity! We had to stop before because of some things that happened at the company, and I think we've already achieved our initial goals. There will be further cooperation, and I will also give the copyright of this documentary to the TV station. However, I hope that it won't be used as a profit-making project, but rather as a documentary that can be repeatedly broadcast, which can increase your ratings and also promote your business."

"Thank you so much, Director Su Yi! I really don't know what to say. No wonder so many leaders have been praising you after working with you. Your vision is truly admirable. In comparison, my work style seems a bit petty."

The station director felt a little ashamed when he said this, because he was still thinking about the copyright issue. Although the copyright had nothing to do with them, they would need to purchase the copyright if they continued to distribute it.

Because the entire documentary was filmed by Su Yi, who spearheaded both the concept and the creative direction, he was essentially the producer, director, and distributor, even though it's a documentary and doesn't have the same clear division of labor as a film. Regardless, they wouldn't have dared to even consider acquiring the copyright, but Su Yi readily granted it to them. Clearly, this filming wasn't about making money. What he didn't know was that Su Yi's most mysterious aspect was that all information related to him was completely covered up! Especially his dealings with Liu Yifei and Yang Mi—no amount of money could possibly cover that up.

Therefore, Su Yi devoted himself to filming this documentary out of gratitude and to express an idea in his heart. Originally, he planned to store this documentary on the Poetic and Picturesque platform, so that it could only be accessed through the platform, making it a unique documentary.

But there's no other way; this is the only way I can do to repay this debt of gratitude.

……

"Welcome to today's interview with a renowned expert! We are honored to have Director Su Yi with us today! I believe that viewers in front of the TV and netizens should know this name, and are even more familiar with it than I am."

This interview program is a relatively new show, and each time it features celebrities from various fields. The general public may not know them, but they are all authorities and experts in their respective fields.

Su Yi said that he is an authority in the directing industry, and that people not only in China but also all over the world would agree with this statement.

Some foreign directors who once looked down on Su Yi, such as Spielberg, now show respect for Su Yi in public. This is because, regardless of whether their ideas are the same, Su Yi's achievements have surpassed his. The box office of one of his films is comparable to the total box office of all the films he made in the first half of his life!

Even James Cameron, the director of Avatar, believes that if director Su Yi could remove all his patriotic elements, he would be the number one director in the world.

A round of enthusiastic applause erupted. The audience, who had initially been dissatisfied with the documentary, were now filled with anticipation, despite still uttering some curses.

"Hello everyone, I'm Su Yi. Hello, host. To be honest, I don't feel nervous at all about coming back here to record the show. On the contrary, I feel relaxed. It's not because television isn't authoritative enough, but because it feels as comfortable and at ease as being at home. I can say whatever I want."

Su Yi smiled easily. It had been a long time since he had appeared on such an interview program. He had even promoted it before, saying that this was the last interview program he would host. However, he was a guest this time, so it wasn't exactly breaking his promise.

Many people felt a warmth in their hearts after seeing the kind Su Yi. Although they scolded him for ending the recording of the first episode, they actually felt a little sorry for him.

This former charity director and former director of a charity department faced numerous difficulties and problems, all of which he solved alone, and he also made such a great reputation internationally. To be honest, many people think that even if such a person makes some mistakes, they can accept it.

After all, even directors who only achieve 1% of Su Yi's success are now living in luxury and are plagued by negative news, especially those directors in the entertainment industry.

Which one of them hasn't had numerous scandals with female celebrities?
Su Yi only had a brief rumored relationship with Liu Yifei before their marriage, and after the marriage, he behaved himself well.

"Director Su Yi, it's such a pity. When you were filming these, I was working as a junior reporter at a local TV station. I heard about you back then and admired you very much. Now I've finally met you in person."

This time, the host wasn't Chai Jing; she clearly held Su Yi in high regard.

This is also to prevent similar incidents from happening again.

They specifically chose a host, and even conducted some background checks, because if the host used an aggressive or sarcastic tone towards Su Yi during the live broadcast, it would definitely displease Su Yi and also leave the audience wondering. Couldn't such a large television station find a few hosts who could speak well?
Actually, it's not the TV station's fault; it's just that Chai Jing was too good at hiding her true feelings, and she had been pretending for so long.

Moreover, they even admired Su Yi quite a bit. No one expected that after that interview, various organizations would launch attacks and questioning, especially during a live broadcast!
In fact, this was a carefully prepared pledge of allegiance by Chai Jing, because she knew that after going to Western countries, such a statement would easily make her a target for support.

"You're too kind."

Su Yi smiled modestly. The other person was probably older than him. Although his resume wasn't as impressive as his, there weren't many people who rose through the ranks as quickly as Su Yi.

"We wanted to interview you this time not to talk about past glories, but to talk more about the creative environment of future great directors. This documentary actually has a viewership rating of over 90%, which can be said to have broken all records."

Many viewers watched the TV and felt a warmth in their hearts. Having such a director is truly a source of pride!
Moreover, it can produce such a phenomenal work from time to time.

"Actually, it's not as exaggerated as everyone says. This 'future great director' is just an idea of ​​mine, and it only draws inspiration from history. I'm a public welfare director, and documentaries are also my area of ​​expertise. I was thinking about whether I could make a documentary that's related to history, something that would interest everyone and allow them to learn something. Visual promotion is meant to be enjoyed; there's no need to watch it with the purpose of learning. But why can't the two be combined? Our country has so much of its own culture, with many national heroes in both modern and ancient history. If they could come to the world today and see it, how amazing would that be? This was an idea of ​​mine. It started to take shape when I was filming 'The Dragon Kingdom' in the archives, but back then, due to the limitations of the stage, it wasn't possible to film it too realistically."

Su Yi shook his head slightly and said with a smile.

"This documentary is excellent and has been introduced to many countries because they want to gain a deeper understanding of our culture in the face of the increasingly powerful China."

"The success of this documentary is inseparable from this history. What attracts foreign audiences is not my documentary itself, but everything about us! It is the strength of our motherland. If our motherland were not strong, no one would bother to learn about our liberation, and no one would listen to us." (End of Chapter)
