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

For Su Yi, this is more than just a movie.

He no longer needs movies to boost his fame.

However, the purpose of this film shoot is the same as that of the Poetic and Picturesque Platform.

It was all to promote the mythology of the Dragon Kingdom.

This newly hired director actually dares to mock me?
It's fine to make fun of himself, but cutting scenes involving Eastern mythology is absolutely unacceptable. That's Su Yi's bottom line.

“Mr. Diane, we can cooperate this time, or we can not. But if we are to cooperate like this, it would be better if we did not cooperate.”

Su Yi did not have any conflict with that director.

Because he knew that if he had a conflict with the other party, they would use it as an opportunity to create hype.

Now no one in the country dares to extort money from him.

However, there are plenty of people abroad who are waiting to befriend him, otherwise, they will have violent conflicts.

In any case, it's not anyone else who suffers in this kind of situation.

Because Su Yi has a greater reputation.

Diane frowned.

Things are getting complicated because this director was hired by the company's top management, so it's impossible to replace him.

At least he doesn't have that ability.

But Su Yi was invited by their chairman, and he has a great reputation worldwide.

It's simply impossible to offend them.

Strictly speaking, I waited until Su Yi finished filming "I Am a Great Director" in order to be able to work with him this time.

For more than half a year, I've been waiting.

This is very rare even for a company like Warner.

"Okay, I'll be leaving now. Someone will transfer the penalty fee later. It was a pleasure working with you, and I hope we'll have the opportunity to work together again in the future."

Diane was stunned by Su Yi's words.

They initially believed that the contract should indeed require a penalty for breach of contract, but both parties considered it merely a written document.

If Su Yi withdraws, even if he has to pay several thousand US dollars in compensation, it will still be a loss!

Because his fame is worth more than just money!

Whether Diane can regain control of the film company is also a key factor.

These idiots!

Diane was speechless.

We waited for Su Yi for so long not so that he would harbor hatred towards the company.

There are actually two voices within the company.

The first suggestion was to maintain a good relationship with Su Yi, even if cooperation was not possible.

Because Su Yi represents the Eastern market.

Their territories in the West and North America are being gradually occupied.

If things continue like this, the company will slowly degenerate into a third-rate company.

Both Universal and Disney have developed tertiary industries.

Disney, in particular, has expanded very quickly.

Their company is still stagnating, or even slowly declining, while their competitors have already surpassed them.

Faced with this situation, they had long wanted to make changes.

But they never had the chance, though their new strategic goals had already been set.

They needed to maintain a good relationship with Su Yi because they were keenly aware of the trust that the Dragon Kingdom's government and people placed in Su Yi.

It would be foolish not to make money when there is opportunity, and such a large market should definitely be cherished.

Because they felt they couldn't compete with Disney in superhero movies.

Disney has perfected this model.

Partner with Su Yi and make money in the Dragon Kingdom's market!

After Su Yi became the world's highest-grossing director, he gained immense fame.

The second voice advocated severing ties with Su Yi, arguing that the North American market was crucial, and that choosing sides prematurely in the event of conflict would be a poor decision. Furthermore, failing to penetrate the Chinese market and then having to part ways with the North American market would be a net loss.

Their main base is entirely in North America, so if the North American government launches an attack, they have little power to resist.

"Alright... Director Su, we've always been good friends. Let's not let this affect our relationship."

In her haste, Diane even uttered the retroflex ending.

Moreover, to express their apology, they spoke in the Chinese language.

"Good friends... they really are good friends, but that doesn't affect our friendship."

Upon hearing this, Su Yi chuckled softly.

It seems Warner Bros. is using this as an advertisement for itself.

They believe that only with Su Yi around can there be a market in China!

However, they overlooked one thing: Su Yi was also using them to expand into the Western market.

Therefore, many things are based on mutual exploitation.

Although their relationship seems good, they both have their own ulterior motives.

It seems the other party doesn't quite like Su Yi's suggestion.

However, instead of saying it outright, they secretly sabotaged it.

The director's arrogance this time was not what I wanted.

Instead, it was authorized by certain individuals.

That's how they can be so arrogant!

The purpose was to tamper with the script and downplay the mythological figures from the East in the film.

Therefore, Su Yi saw through the situation immediately.

It directly implies to the other party that if they want to cooperate, then continue; if they don't want to cooperate, then they should just part ways.

Moreover, he also showed goodwill towards Diane.

You're just a high-level employee, and I know many things have nothing to do with you.

But Diane panicked, knowing that Su Yi was not joking.

If he really leaves like this, he'll become an idiot.

"Director Su, I'll call the chairman right now, but what would it take to satisfy you?"

"I can replace this director, but no matter who I replace him with, I have the right to supervise. And I also hope that this film will become a new box office phenomenon. But my participation is necessary for it to reach such heights."

That's a rather arrogant statement.

But Su Yi's reputation justifies this arrogance!

Diane sighed and picked up her phone. "I trust that headquarters will make the right choice!"

Su Yi received a reply in less than ten minutes.

"We will replace this director, but we hope you can persuade director James Wan to change his mind."

"no problem."

Su Yi had already seen the previously arrogant director. After Diane finished talking to him, she cursed a few times in a fit of anger, and then slunk away.

Now, when the actors in the crew looked at Su Yi, their expressions were much more respectful.

Now they know who's in charge!

"Everyone, please don't have any other thoughts! I know you all have some other ideas right now, but what I want to say is that we are creating a legend right now... If this movie reaches the top three in the world box office, then we will be creating a legend!"

Many actors worked with Su Yi for the first time, and this seemingly frail Eastern man was incredibly capable.

If he had no skills, no one would pay any attention to him.

But this is the director with the highest box office in the world!
Moreover, after the previous director incident, they all put away their underestimation of him.

"Everyone, if you want to create a legend, stay and continue filming. If you have other ideas, you can leave."

Su Yi looked around at everyone, and they were all stunned.

Because that's almost a very strong answer.

The lead actors, too, can leave at any time!

The crazy woman who tested the sea, who played the pirate's wife in the movie Pirates of the Caribbean and was known for urinating in bed, lowered her head and dared not say more.

Sharon Stone's affair was still fresh in their minds, and they couldn't possibly confront Su Yi head-on at a time like this.

That's the behavior of an idiot.

Sharon Stone clearly had the opportunity to become famous again.

However, they wasted their best opportunity.

It was directly banned by the Dragon Kingdom.

The West and North America didn't give her any opportunities either; instead, they abandoned her.

Sharon Stone is now completely finished.

This event shocked many celebrities in the West and North America.

This isn't something the Chinese government has officially banned; if the government were to intervene, it would likely garner sympathy from many people.

Sharon Stone is an idiot, but they can use that as a basis to attack her fiercely.

But this time it's different.

Public boycotts alone were enough to shut Sharon Stone down.

People from China should not be insulted or joked about casually!

Unless you're absolutely determined to lose all your money.

So everyone immediately shut up after hearing Su Yi's voice.

“Very good. Tell your chairman that this movie will definitely be among the top five in the film and television industry.”

Su Yi nodded in satisfaction, believing that Warner had made the right choice.

However, he also decided that if Warner ultimately failed to compromise with him, he could break the contract.

Warner is just a decent partner, not irreplaceable.

However, the previously planned schedule may have to be postponed.

······
"Director Su!"

"Director Wen! Hello!"

Su Yi and Wen Ziren held hands tightly.

For Wen Ziren, although Su Yi was younger than him, he always felt like he was meeting a senior.

"Thank you so much for recommending me to the film crew! I'm truly grateful."

If the director of Aquaman 1 were to change the cast, the film's performance would be even better than Aquaman 1's, which would be quite embarrassing for him.

Moreover, this incident was a huge blow to his directing career.

Wen Ziren was initially a little unhappy after learning that the other party had already signed a contract.

Unexpectedly, Su Yi managed to bring back his chief director in such a short time!

Moreover, Su Yi was also the producer!

Wen Ziren was extremely grateful in the face of this situation.

"Director Su, although it's said that you're the one listed in the credits this time, it's actually me who's listed! I'm here to learn from you!"

Wen Ziren was very humble.

He also knew why Warner Bros. had asked him to be the chief director, and he had also learned from other sources why Su Yi wanted to make this movie. After learning the whole story, he admired him very much.

Because this is to promote the mythology of the Dragon Kingdom, although he grew up abroad, he has always believed that his roots are still in the Dragon Kingdom, so he is very interested in everything about the Dragon Kingdom.

He wasn't being modest; he genuinely came with the intention of learning.

The fact that the director was previously reprimanded by Su Yi has been exposed by the media. Western media have been exaggerating Su Yi's achievements, saying that he is somewhat cold-hearted.

Moreover, he is very arrogant. Although he is very talented, he is too ruthless and indifferent to others, even unreasonable. He uses his fame to suppress others simply because they have different opinions.

This incident has drawn a lot of criticism, especially from North American media, which have been almost unanimously critical. People tend to sympathize with the underdog in such situations, especially when it involves a conflict between an Asian and a white person.

Many people also posted online saying that people of Asian descent are too united.

Wen Ziren's ancestral home is also in China.

Su Yi's name cannot appear in films released in North America. James Wan's name is used as a substitute for the secretary's name.

Actually, this kind of news was originally intended to have ulterior motives, with the goal of inciting infighting among them.

This means to sow discord.

Faced with this situation, many media outlets interviewed James Wan, hoping he would say something unfavorable, as the matter seemed somewhat infuriating.

But James Wan didn't take this clumsy attempt to sow discord to heart at all. When faced with such an interview, he simply smiled faintly at the camera.

"I have always hoped to learn a lot from Director Su Yi, especially about the culture of the Dragon Kingdom. I really admire the mythology filmed this time, and I am looking forward to it. I don't mind being just a shadow of Director Su Yi in this movie."

The news caused an uproar, because James Wan is also a director with high box office returns, having directed films such as Fast & Furious.

They all have extremely high box office returns, but it's unexpected that they were so humble when facing Su Yi this time. It also shows that talented directors often look down on each other. Moreover, many North Americans and Westerners believe that although Chinese people are talented, they are good at internal strife when facing external challenges.

However, he was remarkably polite when facing the media this time, and Su Yi also mentioned in an interview that director James Wan is a very talented director. This was a collaboration between the two, not a case of one directing the other, and it is hoped that everyone can learn more about the mythological elements of the Dragon Kingdom.

Su Yi's idea was simple: he already had enough fame, and his goal was to have the world admire certain aspects of Chinese culture. Since filming a modern story involved political factors, he turned his hopes to the ethereal realm of mythology.

He also believes that the inclusion of dragon mythology elements will definitely attract global attention.

However, it's definitely not enough for him to be the only director; he's also too busy. In the end, we need to get more directors, especially those from China, to pay attention to these issues, including Ang Lee, Zhang Yimou, and even Chen Kaige!
At his level, ordinary things could no longer shake his resolve.

Some past enemies and grudges can be forgiven with a smile, because now he represents the country, the Dragon Kingdom!

"I hope everyone can pay more attention to the culture of the Dragon Kingdom. We will also spare no effort to launch some new movies with Dragon Kingdom elements."
