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

This time, Su Yi wasn't just giving a media interview; he was calling on all capable directors and film companies to make movies about the mythology of the Dragon Kingdom. Most people know what he meant.

Promote the culture of the Dragon Kingdom and let it reach the world!

Seeing Su Yi's calm, collected, and confident demeanor on television, Chen Kaige, who had previously been Su Yi's enemy, had a somber expression and remained largely silent.

He also knew that he was no match for Su Yi at all now.

Moreover, let alone Su Yi, he's almost no match for some of the most popular directors lately.

"I never expected this young man to have reached this level, Lao Chen. To use a popular internet phrase, Su Yi is the chosen one of the version. You lost unwillingly."

Chen Hong sighed.

She felt that, even at his peak, Chen Kaige couldn't compare to Su Yi, let alone be old.

This director's achievements are truly admirable.

Now we can even see him commanding all the heroes.

After meeting Su Yi, Zhang Yi highly praised him.

He even said that although he was much older and Su Yi's senior, the gap between them was still huge.

At first, many people thought this statement was a bit pessimistic.

But later I realized that this wasn't a tragedy, but the truth!

"Even awarding a documentary to its rivals is a way for the BBC to salvage its reputation."

Chen Kaige had long lost his ambition and was instead quite depressed.

Because he felt that what his wife said was right.

There was simply no way for him to compete against Su Yi on the same stage again.

They are even unworthy.

This kind of occasion is no longer suitable for me.

"Old Chen, are you thinking of retiring? But we still need a source of income. I heard that a film crew is looking for a director, and they're offering a lot of money."

Chen Hong knew that her husband needed a little criticism, but not to the point of becoming depressed.

Because if any problems arise, this person is the pillar of the family.

The family has long been accustomed to a luxurious lifestyle, and they probably wouldn't be able to adapt well if it were to stop later.

The Chen Kaige family is also a typical example of a family whose fame doesn't last beyond three generations.

Chen Kaige's father gave him his blessing, but Chen Kaige failed to maintain his legacy, and his descendants have little artistic talent.

"Take the job if you can. I don't have much of a choice now."

Chen Kaige also knew that he had to take on many bad films, otherwise he might not have any more opportunities to make money in the future.

Chen Kaige sighed. Who would have thought that he, who won the Palme d'Or back then, would end up doing so poorly so many years later?

They can only rely on their past savings!
Meanwhile, many film and media companies are also watching Su Yi's remarks on television.

Because for them, this is a great business opportunity.

These historical accounts, which contain mythological elements, are not copyrighted.

All that's missing is publicity and brand awareness.

Su Yi is now using his reputation to make a name for himself and to encourage all directors to make films about him.

At the same time, many media companies were working on the script, and a lot of discussion started online.

Why is Su Yi promoting a movie with mythological elements?

"After the success of Black Myth: Wukong, the Poetry and Painting platform launched two web series in succession, both about the story of the divine fox. One is about the rise of Chi You, and the other is about the war between the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor. I really enjoyed watching them. With so many special effects used in a web series, is it really possible to make a profit?"

"I think this incident is extraordinary! This is a signal! Didn't Su Yi almost break up with Warner Bros. before? Some bloggers have already revealed the truth! Isn't the current director Wen Ziren? The previous director wanted to reduce our Eastern mythology elements to 15%! Can we do that? This whole thing is bullshit!"

"That's right, our cooperation with Warner is conditional on them being obedient! If that's really their mindset, they should just get lost. We want Warner to be our friend, not someone to exploit us for profit. If that's the case, then they're essentially the same as those who discriminate against us!"

Many people are protesting, and some even want to boycott the movie.

But at the crucial moment, Su Yi stepped forward.

If this movie is to become a hit, it needs the help of Warner Bros. and the Chinese market.

These are all very important.

Indispensable.

When Su Yi saw that people on the internet were boycotting the movie, he knew that this was definitely something orchestrated by someone with ulterior motives.

Because ordinary people would never know such details, and they hadn't revealed them before.

Warner Bros. would never have such a foolish idea.

Some higher-ups used this director to test Su Yi's attitude, but they didn't really want to break ties with him.

If anything really happens this time, they will not hesitate to sacrifice the previous director.

Because everyone knows the current situation, without Su Yi, they have no chance of controlling the Dragon Kingdom's market.

Therefore, no matter what decision Su Yi makes, Warner Bros. will not give up its cooperation with him, at least not become his enemy.

Because after Disney learned of Su Yi's plan, despite many frictions between the two sides, they were still able to cooperate normally.

However, it might not be as sincere as Warner.

However, Su Yi's reaction was stronger than anyone else's.

"Hello everyone, I am Su Yi."

Su Yi rarely posts his own video content on short video platforms.

Even their own children are rarely photographed and uploaded.

He believes that children need privacy before they reach adulthood or have their own dreams.

Do you not want to be famous in the future?

Therefore, Su Yi rarely updates his account.

However, this time, for the movie in collaboration with Warner Bros., there have been many updates.

This time, the goal is singular.

Spread the truth!
"Su Yi!"

"It's actually Director Su Yi!"

"When will the future director be able to produce a second season?" "I feel like shows like 'A Bite of China' could still be filmed, so why did it just stop like this?"

"I like Su Yi directing Chinese films! I support him!"

Many people left comments, and it quickly became a hot topic of discussion.

It's even something that involves the entire population.

Su Yi in the video looked rather haggard.

"The rumors circulating online are all false. My relationship with the crew is very good and stable. We are each filming our own scenes related to the movie."

Su Yi recounted the events.

"This film may appear to be a co-production, but it's actually a domestically produced film. And it also promotes our culture."

"There was a time when our film industry started very late, but we have always been working hard to catch up! We are not afraid of hardship or difficulty, all for the sake of promoting our culture!"

"Many of us may not believe what I'm saying at all, thinking I'm exaggerating! Thinking I'm just trying to gain sympathy by promoting the movie. Actually, I'm not good at that. This time, I'm really just doing this legitimately and legally for promotion. I also hope that everyone can join me, without any selfish motives, to bring our mythological story to the screen and conquer movie fans all over the world!"

These words were spoken with great passion and fervor.

Moreover, there was boundless sincerity in his words. Many people who were preparing to boycott the film immediately turned their contempt towards those spreading false information online after seeing this news.

They'll say anything for a few clicks.

Some onlookers mistakenly believed these rumors.

If they lead the boycott of the film and Su Yi doesn't explain himself today, the consequences will be very serious. If this film isn't popular in China, then there's no point in talking about it going global.

So Su Yi stepped forward urgently and told everyone that the previous rumors were just online and there was no need to boycott the movie.

Moreover, Warner Bros. also showed me enough respect.

Often, you should ask yourself questions first.

If these online rumors cause a rift between me and Brother Huang, and then lead to a complete boycott of the movie, then I will have completely lost this propaganda war!
"This film is a very important film, and I probably won't be shooting any new works in the next few days. Of course, I might shoot some short dramas or something on the Poetic and Picturesque platform."

A single pebble can cause a thousand ripples. So when it was announced that no new movies would be made for a short period of time, some people felt sad, some were incredulous, and some thought it was all a bit pretentious.

Regardless of his thoughts, Chen Kaige was naturally relieved.

In his view, he could simply retire from now on.
Unfortunately, there are still some things I couldn't change, but they're smaller now and too late, ever since I ended my relationship with Su Yi...

Even without movies, short dramas on platforms like Poetry and Painting are acceptable.

But whatever it is, I can't give up becoming a director.

Since his debut, Su Yi has filmed so many works that are delightful and captivating.

Over time, everyone has gotten used to watching Su Yi's works every now and then.

However, this has now happened.

It's hard to accept from a logical and emotional standpoint.

Therefore, even if one is careful about the messages they post, many netizens still consider them unacceptable news.

Some people have compiled a series of Su Yi's works since his debut, detailing in detail which drama was filmed in which year.

Even Su Yi himself was deeply moved when he saw it. In the blink of an eye, he had transmigrated to this world for so many years and encountered so many things.

The money-making cycle for a film like this is actually far too long, much shorter than that for a TV series. The effects might not be as stunning, but the returns are much faster.

There's nothing we can do about it. Nowadays, many people simply wouldn't dare invest in a film unless a famous director is involved.

If you say that Su Yi became a director, everyone would definitely be willing to invest. Even the poorest beggar would donate his bowl to invest, because everyone knows that it's a sure thing. But only Su Yi has such treatment. Others don't. Even Zhang Yimou made many films before he got to this point.

……

Su family.

Su Yi stretched his limbs from side to side.

The filming that just ended felt like I was being weighed down by 1000 elephants.

In Liu Shishi's words, some viewers, while liking Su Yi, acted as if they were engaging in moral blackmail.

This news has continued to generate buzz online, and even a comment he made in a previous interview has been misinterpreted. However, the general consensus is that everyone is eagerly anticipating Su Yi's new film.

However, the filming of a movie cannot be that short; it takes at least half a year.

Even if Su Yi's Eastern portion was filmed in half and Warner Bros.' Western portion was filmed in half, and then re-edited, it would still take half a year.

After all, this is a big production, and even with the special effects, it might take several months to complete. Saying half a year is already considered very fast.

This is the result of the efforts of many parties.

However, Su Yi remains unique in his publicity efforts.

What was originally an obscure film has now become a highly anticipated event after this series of events.

Liu Shishi accompanied the filming. Warner Bros. had originally invited her to play a role, but Liu Shishi wasn't interested.

Despite the high price offered, Liu Shishi still refused.

"In two more years, will we be able to say that you're old and frail? Don't push yourself so hard when filming. I know what you mean, but a person's energy is limited. If you exhaust yourself like this, it's not worth it. If our Poetry and Painting platform has another ten years or so of broadcasting, the whole world will probably accept the mythological elements of the Dragon Kingdom. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Liu Shishi felt a pang of sympathy.

Since the two got married, it's rare to see Su Yi working so hard.

"Just like you said, we're all getting old and weak, so we have to work hard. This movie is of great significance. Don't underestimate it just because it's a multinational investment. If this movie is successful, more and more domestic mythological films will be released, and it will open up the market and let foreign capital see our market potential."

Su Yi closed his eyes comfortably as Liu Shishi placed his head on her lap.

Then gently press it on him.

"I can see that now. Even some of the works on the Poetry and Painting platform are no longer of interest to you, senior."

Liu Shishi said with a hint of helplessness.

However, Liu Shishi also knew that her senior must have his reasons for doing this, and he had never made a mistake over the years.

"But with such a long shooting time, post-production will only take two months to complete?"

After hearing Liu Shishi's words, Su Yi nodded.

This is why she still wants to work with them; Warner Bros. is making rapid progress in film production.

Moreover, the 3D technologies used are unparalleled in the past.

Moreover, the films produced are very mature, as if they were made on an assembly line.

"But our filming was truly grand; with so many dance stunt performers, Warner Bros. really spared no expense." (End of Chapter)
