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

Tourism sector.

"Director Su, come and sit down."

Minister Sun smiled when he saw Su Yi.

This is now a real money-making machine.

The documentary series has significantly boosted the local economy, particularly in the cultural and tourism sectors.

Especially for those popular cities, plane tickets are now extremely difficult to obtain.

Even with the increase in flights and high-speed rail services, demand still exceeds supply.

Moreover, local cultural and tourism authorities have even begun to speak out.

For example, a small city like Weihai doesn't have as many facilities as an international metropolis.

When paying homage to Deng Shichang and the Beiyang Fleet, one must also take a boat to Liugong Island.

Despite the fact that everyone was going there to pay their respects, some complaints inevitably arose.

However, Su Yi had previously told Minister Sun that such matters must be planned in advance.

Let's hope that a good thing doesn't turn into a bad thing.

The local government also convened an emergency meeting.

Controlling the number of visitors, promoting off-peak travel, and reassuring local tourists are key to improving visitor satisfaction through high-quality services and affordable prices.

The memorial service accelerated after entering the exhibition hall.

In more spacious areas, more sacrificial rites were carried out.

After Su Yi's previous reminder, the local cultural and tourism department even became a trending topic because of their good attitude and good arrangements.

In particular, the cultural and tourism departments called for people to do long-term business and not one-off deals.

Other cities have also begun to follow suit.

Chengdu, Weihai, and Guangzhou have all become wildly popular tourist destinations.

Unfortunately, Zheng Chenggong's affairs on the island are not currently under Minister Sun's direct management.

Otherwise, we could take this opportunity to enhance communication between the two places.

This time, it wasn't Minister Sun who proactively sought out Su Yi.

Instead, Su Yi came to talk to Minister Sun about some things, which was something he had been planning all along.

"Hello, Minister Sun."

Su Yi smiled; this was one of his former superiors.

"Don't be so polite with me, kid. We've worked together so many times, and you've exposed all my secrets. There are even rumors that I've fallen out with you..."

Minister Sun recalled the past and a smile appeared on his face.

Su Yi also sighed.

This seems to have happened many years ago.

Back in Dianzhou, Minister Sun was indeed put in a very passive position, and was even criticized on social media, because they were the competent authorities, even though many things had little to do with them.

At that time, Minister Sun was in charge of the tourism department, but even the local tourism departments were still more under the management of the local government because they were closer to each other and it was easier to discuss things.

After the situation in Dianzhou was exposed, Minister Sun was very angry and ordered them to rectify the situation. While there were indeed dramatic changes in a short period, things quickly returned to normal. Later, Minister Sun personally took charge and went to rectify the situation, finally bringing order to Dianzhou.

Later, the higher authorities convened a meeting, the content of which was called "learning from painful mistakes."

Actually, this is the main topic. While it might sound like criticism, it's actually a commendation ceremony because, through their psychic system, they completely rectified the chaos in Dianzhou. Hundreds of people left their original positions specifically to help rectify the situation here.

The project was a complete success, and Minister Sun not only escaped criticism but also received praise. Moreover, he had made significant contributions, so he naturally found Su Yi very agreeable and knew that the young man had no ulterior motives.

This is one of the reasons why many leaders have a good relationship with Su Yi.

"Tell me, what kind of cooperation do you want this time?"

Minister Sun said with a smile.

"We're preparing to shoot a movie. I mentioned it on the show before; it's a collaboration with Warner Bros. The script is still being revised, and filming is expected to take six months. The investment is substantial, and there may be more movies to be made later. The fusion of Eastern and Western cultures is something that's bound to happen in the future, and we've taken the lead..."

Minister Sun only partially understood the explanation, because he didn't think this matter had anything to do with him.

He's in charge of the culture and tourism department, but cultural promotion is rarely done in this way. So, aside from his work, he doesn't actually see Su Yi very often; they've probably only met a few times before when they were in the publicity department.
However, when Minister Sun asked Su Yi for a favor before, Su Yi was still within the system and couldn't refuse.

Unexpectedly, that's what happened later. So, despite being in such a high position, he still chose to resign.

When they tried to find him again, he already had his own company.

And he was too embarrassed to contact him again. Su Yi had already established his own big company, so he couldn't just ignore his own family affairs and come to help them, could he?

Fortunately, Su Yi is a very good young man.

When it comes to any matter, Minister Sun's words still carry weight.

This time too.

"Boss, I've come here hoping to get your support. This collaboration with Warner Bros. on the film isn't really your concern, but I'm planning to invest in building a large amusement park."

Su Yi hesitated for a long time before finally revealing his thoughts.

To create a place like Disneyland or Universal Studios.

This plan has been in the works for a long time, and its purpose is very clear: all the copyrights are related to ancient mythology.

Many amusement parks nowadays, such as Disneyland, are actually a form of cultural promotion.

To put it more bluntly, it's cultural invasion.

For example, nowadays, many children talk about Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and the like.

How many animated films from China do you recognize?

Don't say that China doesn't have animated films. The Shanghai Animation Film Studio produced quite a few classic animations in the past.

Later, Su Yi also filmed some animated films about his own culture.

They even adapted some events from the Qin Dynasty into animated films.

However, their promotional efforts are much greater. A single amusement park with such a rich array of programs can rival many of Su Yi's previous promotional efforts.

"I think you mentioned amusement parks before. But that requires a lot of investment. Director Su, are you already that ambitious?"

As the head of a department, Minister Sun naturally knew how much money was needed to invest in an amusement park, and he also knew that there were many things involved.

It will take many years to build and many years to operate before the cost is recouped.

Although Su Yi is very rich now, he probably hasn't reached that level yet, right?
If multiple sources of financing are involved, disagreements can easily arise.

This could lead to the project's ultimate failure, resulting in financial losses and potentially triggering even more problems.

Minister Sun has seen it all; he came from a local background and naturally knows these things. If he were to actually encounter such a situation, it wouldn't just be a headache, but a fatal blow to Su Yi's image.

"With our letter of assistance, things like land approvals would be much simpler. But you know how expensive land is, whether in the capital or elsewhere!"

Minister Sun was also aware of these matters.

He wanted to persuade Su Yi to give up on this matter.

Because now is not the best time to develop these things.

Moreover, this investment is too large.

It's easy for problems to arise; if it were someone else, Minister Sun wouldn't have said so much.

But there was nothing he could do; Su Yi and he had a very good relationship, and as a senior, he couldn't help but offer advice.

"Boss, this is something I absolutely must do, and it can't wait a moment longer!"

Su Yi said with a smile, but his gaze was firm.

Minister Sun hesitated for a moment, knowing that this person was there to pull strings.

My help would definitely benefit Su Yi, but if it's too obvious, it will cause a lot of discussion.

"You just need to help me with the letter of introduction and coordinate things—"

Actually, if we had followed the original version, it probably would have passed.

However, it requires a lot of time, and the time cost is also very high.

"These are the documents!"

Su Yi handed the prepared materials to Minister Sun.

Minister Sun took it, then put on his glasses and examined it carefully.

"The Dragon Palace of the East Sea? The Heavenly Court? And ancient myths and legends?"

Minister Sun looked somewhat shocked, because the amusement facilities named after myths and legends were indeed very similar to those in Disneyland, and the Poetic and Picturesque platform was currently promoting some web dramas from that mythological era, which were getting very good ratings.

If we take advantage of this favorable situation, it would be quite good. Moreover, the "Poetic and Picturesque" platform has been broadcasting it continuously without any decline in popularity. If today's events were to spread, it would certainly arouse the expectations of many people.

"Everything else is fine. I have the authority to have my subordinates cooperate with you to complete the procedures. But I can't guarantee it if we go to the other side, since we are two different departments and I don't know them."

This involves many organizations, and it cannot be resolved by a single cultural and tourism department. However, with their letter of assistance, many things can proceed smoothly, since they are all connected.

Moreover, given Su Yi's reputation, doing these things is actually quite convenient; at least he won't be deceived.

"That's alright, don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble. I just want to expedite the procedures, but it's precisely because I've gained some fame that they're giving me excessive explanations when dealing with related matters."

Su Yi hurriedly gave his assurance.

He knew that Minister Sun couldn't just agree to anything, but he himself was an exception.

After all, the two of them have a rather deep connection.

However, everything must be carried out under the supervision of the rule of law, after all, he did not get to where he is today by doing anything illegal.

"Since you insist, then I have no choice but to sign. However, I still think we should stabilize things a bit more. It's still a bit early. But you seem to have a better eye for this than I do."

Minister Sun glanced at the plan and his heart was filled with turmoil. If implemented, this picturesque platform would likely become the best amusement park in the future.

He seems to have witnessed another important historical juncture.

As a leader in the cultural and tourism department, he naturally knew the importance of this matter. After all, Disney and Universal had spent many years planning to achieve what they have today!

But the poetic and artistic elements were quickly established within a few years.

That's Su Yi's skill!

And that's not all; it seems that the copyright for Zootopia was also licensed to them recently.

By leveraging these trending topics and then hyping up the news, everything will fall into place naturally.

Unfortunately, the amusement park will take a long time to build and require a lot of investment. This batch of land is only the first step.

That's why Minister Sun kept persuading Su Yi to postpone the plan, at least to ensure the Poetry and Painting platform had more funds.

Seeing that Su Yi insisted on his words, he didn't say anything more and quickly signed the letter of assistance.

"Thank you, leader!"

"These are minor matters. If you're looking at the situation, let me be the first one in."

Minister Sun joked with a smile.

He knew how important this matter was.

……

A platform imbued with poetic and picturesque charm.

Vice President Jiang looked at Su Yi and Liu Shishi with some pleasure, as she hadn't seen the two of them together at the company for a long time.

However, this time they went together, which was unusual, and a number of high-level officials were summoned for a meeting.

After the incident involving the future director, no one in the company dared to underestimate Su Yi anymore.

This documentary has broken numerous charts both domestically and internationally, garnering over 10 billion views worldwide. In fact, many countries, unable to purchase the rights, have resorted to broadcasting pirated versions with the tacit approval of the authorities.

Su Yi could understand these things. Besides, there was simply no way to control it, regardless of the type of publicity or broadcasting.

They're all promoting their documentary!

He is now very well-known worldwide. In the past, he could travel abroad without having to hide his appearance. However, after this documentary became a hit, he will probably be recognized when he goes abroad now.

Actually, this is an opportunity to promote Su Yi, and also an opportunity to promote the Poetry and Painting platform.

This was originally a great thing, but after Su Yi proposed to invest in his own amusement park.

The company is still divided into several factions because this investment is too large, and it may require mortgaging the entire Poetic and Artistic platform. Previously, things were gradually being integrated, but now LeEco is being dismantled and rebuilt from scratch.

Such a risk is extremely high, and Vice Chairman Jiang was the first to object. Although she now greatly admires Su Yi, she does not want the company to fall into such a crisis.

For example, if given time, these kinds of projects are a piece of cake; what's lacking now is funding!

Moreover, he's currently investing in a new film and is already stretched thin.

Although the company is full of shrewd and capable people, Su Yi has initiated far too many projects.

If all of these are done simultaneously, the risk is too great, because if the flow of funds gets stuck at any stage, it will be very difficult to manage.

"It was thanks to the approval of Minister Sun from the tourism sector that the problem was basically solved, and other companies that benefited from it also got their share. Now I think it's a great opportunity to make great strides."

Director Su Yi looked somewhat surprised; it was obvious that this was the first time Vice President Jiang had not supported him.
