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

Su Yi's achievements are unparalleled. He is also the only director to go abroad since the establishment of the Beijing Film Academy. By "going abroad", he doesn't mean making a few movies in Hollywood, but rather defeating Hollywood movies several times.

The film grossed over 2 billion yuan on its first day, essentially breaking global records.

However, countries all over the world are also adopting it.

The box office is expected to see another surge.

It will definitely be in the top three at the world box office.

Each of his films has some kind of epoch-making significance.

Moreover, their box office performance is also very high, and in terms of both awards and profits, they are unmatched by others.

However, many people are disappointed because this doesn't seem to be a film primarily produced by a Chinese company.

But none of this diminishes Su Yi's status in China.

Eastern mythology has become popular all over the world. Since Nezha 2, many foreigners have been searching for the stories in it.

This time, Aquaman 2 directly introduced the Dragon Palace and the specific image of the dragon in the mythology of the Dragon Kingdom.

According to statistics and interviews with some reporters.

The audience was even more excited when filming the Eastern mythology.

This is one of the reasons why Warner Bros. wanted to transform its business model; their superhero movies were too mind-bending.

However, if you want to emulate Marvel's style, it's basically impossible to surpass Marvel.

So they were caught in a dilemma. This collaboration with Su Yi helped them regain their confidence, but it also disappointed them because audiences preferred the Eastern mythology segments filmed by Su Yi. This was largely due to James Wan, who, despite liking Chinese culture, was born abroad.

He doesn't understand much about Chinese culture, but he's showing great interest and wants to learn. Although he's older than Su Yi, he's always been very respectful of Su Yi.

Moreover, the plot of Aquaman was filmed in a decent but not particularly outstanding way, but it was definitely not a flop either.

However, Su Yi's directing ability goes without saying. Before his film hits the top spot at the box office, Su Yi remains the world's highest-grossing director.

Having such a title was enough to make James Wan feel less uncomfortable.

During this interview, Su Yi also shared his thoughts, believing that this is a great opportunity for Chinese films, and that there will be an explosive surge of Eastern mythology films.

However, Su Yi also knew that there were some Chinese people, but only a small number.

They like to take shortcuts, using this as an excuse to make some truly disappointing films. Whether these films circulate domestically or become known internationally, it will be a major blow. Slowly, it will tarnish the reputation of these mythological films.

"I have appealed to the comrades at the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television to adopt a zero-tolerance approach to low-budget, low-quality films that try to ride the coattails of trending topics."

Su Yi suddenly changed his tone, transforming his passionate enthusiasm into official rhetoric.

His speech had ignited the passion of the reporters in the audience. While speaking requires skill, one's position is even more crucial.

"After Nezha finished airing, there was a similar movie with a very simple script and rough production. The visuals were even worse than those from 40 or 50 years ago. Moreover, it used those methods to ride the wave of popularity, claiming to be Nezha 2. At that time, Nezha 2 had not yet been released, and many people were fooled. It made them more than 50 million yuan at the box office! But after going to the cinema to see it, they found that it was like a slideshow!"

Su Yi was furious when he talked about this, because he knew that many industries were made chaotic by troublemakers like him!
At the time, many people went to Enlight Media to cause trouble, saying that they had deceived the audience about the box office and had a very bad influence on Enlight Media.

This is simply a cancer in the film industry. Su Yi simply cannot tolerate it. While he still has some prestige and a fairly good relationship with the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, he will put an end to this matter and ensure that nothing like this happens again. This will be his final contribution to the film industry.

It might be a stretch to say that Su Yi will definitely not be making any more movies in the near future.

Su Yi was not exaggerating; he had already discussed this matter with the leaders of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television before he arrived. It had been formally incorporated into the rules for the serious review of scripts.

Media companies that try to ride the wave of popularity and make easy money will not only face severe punishment, but may also be unable to submit scripts for review for a short period of time. This is the most severe penalty possible. In this era of a revitalized film market, we need more vibrant films. We don't need a single dominant film. If all the films are bad, then it's better to have none at all.

Because he also knew that although the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television's business was not only about movies, and promoting movies was also a matter for them, as a member of the film industry and the competent authority, they were the first line of defense. These poorly made movies that tried to ride the wave of popularity and hype would not only fail to pass the script review, but the companies involved would also be subject to some sanctions, such as not being allowed to submit scripts for two years and not being allowed to invest in movies for two years.

With such severe penalties, Su Yi believes that a fair market environment will be achieved.

"Of course, we are not trying to stop the development of film, but rather we hope for a diverse range of ideas and that today's report will provide more resources for media companies with ambition and ability to make good films. We also hope that the culture of our Dragon Kingdom can be spread around the world through film."

This is a selfless person.

A thought flashed through the reporter's mind. Once upon a time, in the age of rampant internet, this might have been a derogatory term, just a meme circulating online. But in Su Yi's case, it made them truly understand the meaning.

It's now common knowledge how much money Su Yi makes from his movies. Over 20 billion yuan in box office revenue in a single day—and this is just the beginning!
If it were any other director, they would definitely strike while the iron is hot.

However, Su Yi chose to retire gracefully, leaving more opportunities for other companies.

He once said in an interview that having a monopoly is not a good thing for the market.

A diverse range of opinions is the most beneficial thing for the market, giving viewers more choices. Moreover, Su Yi has indeed been quite tired over the years, and as his children need their father's company, he has gradually begun to consider retirement.
