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

To put it simply, there was a political mission from above, and China Film Academy chose Su Yi.

Other film groups will also choose corresponding directors, because after all, this is the 60th birthday of the motherland, and nothing can be done carelessly.

But everyone knows Su Yi's ability, and the others are just joining in the fun.

"Does it require a large scale of investment? Is one billion enough?"

Han Sanping felt happy when he saw Su Yi happily agreeing.

As expected of a director within the system, he immediately agreed to this kind of thing and knew the importance of this kind of movie.

"Don't be too tired! You have to decide to take action! Everyone else will basically quit too!"

Han Sanping gave instructions, but he was not just bragging. Many film groups thought that Su Yi might not accept it, so they wanted to find directors to invest. If this news spreads, those directors would probably give up. .

There is no need to feel uncomfortable. If you win in word-of-mouth, you will lose at the box office.

The existence of a box office of 24 billion gave many directors hope, but later there were very few films with a box office of more than 10 billion.

The same goes for variety shows. Nowadays, the audience recognizes people very much. If you put a little bit of Su Yi's name, basically 20%+.

Light Media.

"Director Su! I didn't expect you to come here!"

As soon as the chairman of Enlight Media heard that Su Yi was coming, he came out to greet him personally.

Before the Lao Liu incident, Su Yi was still working on the children's channel. Although he is no longer on the children's channel now, he has not forgotten the domestic animated movies.

The chairman of Enlight Media is also a fastidious person. People from the General Administration came to investigate Su Yi before, but they still supported him.

And although Su Yi was busy during this period, he did not cut off contact with them.

"The filming of Warner Bros.'s movie this time is a return of their favor. They are quite considerate in their support of domestic animated films."

Su Yi took a sip of tea. There was a lot going on today. He just came out of Han Sanping and came to Guangguang Media.

It can be said that the future Dragon Kingdom animated film will shine brightly.

It was impossible for Su Yi to worry about all areas, and this time he was only responsible for pulling the strings.

Enlight Media signed a contract with "Kung Fu Panda". After signing the contract, they quickly began to apply for copyright and project approval. Later, when DreamWorks wanted to apply, they discovered that they had been preempted.

This animated film was very complicated because the domestic technology and equipment at that time were not good enough. This was not just because Su Yi had a forward-looking vision.

So I exchanged some interests with Warner Bros. Animation Film Company.

Warner Bros. has taken a stake in Enlight Media Animation Branch, with a 10% dividend and no decision-making power.

A technical team was sent to help Enlight Media produce "Kung Fu Panda".

DreamWorks even wanted to cooperate before, firstly because it felt that this IP had good prospects, and secondly because of the Dragon Kingdom market.

However, the conditions were very harsh and was rejected by the chairman of Enlight. Warner's animated films are actually not bad, but they are not very creative. Now it is considered a strong alliance. The production of the film has even exceeded 90%, but the later stage is also slow. In the process of production, every frame is beautified, as well as lines and dialogues, etc. It will take at least a year before it is released.

On the other side, the project for "Nezha: The Devil Boy Arrives" has also begun.

"After these foreigners took off their arrogant disguise, they worked very seriously. The progress was very fast, and they repeatedly confirmed whether the director of these two animated films is Director Su!"

The chairman of Guangguang was originally responsible for the shareholders' meeting, and the president was responsible for daily affairs.

But when Su Yi comes over, that's not an ordinary thing!

He personally welcomed Su Yi up.

"Chairman Wang's mentality is quite admirable. A Kung Fu Panda has invested more than 500 million, right?"

Su Yi chuckled and admired the courage of the person in front of him.

I haven’t seen the money yet, but I’ve already invested a lot of money.

You can invest in a movie!

"Haha, if you follow Director Su's footsteps, you will definitely not lose money. And we are very confident! After all, Qin Shimingyue of Xuanji Animation has now started to make money!"

When Su Yi was on the children's channel, he held meetings with domestic animation companies like them.

They also chose the corresponding IP based on their own strength.

Although Qin Shi Mingyue is not a children's animation, it is loved by primary, middle and high school students.

Especially in 2007, Fu Dalong's performance, coupled with Su Yi's reputation, and the subsequent "Da Qin Fu" triggered a wave of enthusiasm for the Qin Dynasty.

Qin Shi Mingyue became a weekly drama after special approval.

The ratings of almost every episode can reach over 18%!

And the surrounding products are selling like crazy.

It is said that women and children earn the most money, but the same is true for students.

There were a lot of figurines, erasers, pencils, pencil cases, textbooks, etc., and it also set off the Internet at the time.

One parent couldn't help but complain, thinking that the cartoon felt like tampering with history and was distracting to students.

Although this matter ended up being nothing, after all, even if there were no Dragon Kingdom cartoons, foreign comics and animations would be introduced.

Later, the education department did not even respond positively.

But in any case, the parent who reported it actually increased the exposure of the cartoon and became completely popular.

The animation team also saw his potential and thought that he would have a wider audience, so they slightly modified some of the exaggerated scenes.

Xuanji Animation instantly became a popular animation company and is now very profitable.

The cost of purchasing a single episode from CCTV alone is quite high, as well as the purchase from online platforms. Xuanji continued to invest after making money, and each episode is very well-produced.

Su Yi once said in a meeting with them before that a good idea and script are just the beginning, and more excellent content is needed to attract the audience.

"We're trying to separate it from the release of The Dark Knight."

Chairman Wang was joking.

This is the hot spot right now, and even though it won't be released for a while, countless people are already watching.

"It's okay, we can't go together. Besides, this movie is more focused on the foreign box office."

Su Yi also has some expectations in his heart. After all, this is his first Hollywood masterpiece. Although he will not develop in Hollywood in the future, it is still a masterpiece.

"Don't worry, I know you care about animated movies, but I won't have any problems here - we also invested in "Wulin Gaiden" directed by Wang Xiaoling before, and now this TV series has also received a lot of attention. After all, you are the screenwriter. . It is estimated that it will also make us a lot of profit."

Enlight Media was originally not interested in this kind of sitcom, but because of Su Yi, they decided to invest and even proactively found Wang Xiaoling.

And this kind of investment is not high to begin with. The actors and some decorations cost less than 500 million in total.

After all, there are many characters in it, and many actors are needed to help out.

And the cast this time is far superior to that of the previous Wulin Gaiden.

Many big-name characters will participate.

Basically, well-known older-generation actors in Beijing, as well as some actors who have worked with Su Yi, came to support.

In fact, the filming of "Wulin Gaiden" has been completed a long time ago, but I have been waiting for Ying's "Olympic Family".

This was also decided by Wang Xiaoling.

Faced with such a villain, Su Yi also supported this teacher who was once assigned by the system and is now his senior brother.

Compared with animated movies, this is definitely a small investment, and it can be regarded as a face-saving sale to Su Yi.

After all, everyone in the circle knows about Wang Xiaolin and Yingdao.

"Don't worry, your efforts will be rewarded."

Enlight Media is also lucky. This Wulin Gaiden, which is phenomenal and has irreproducible results, actually became Enlight Media's.

The butterfly effect is still very strong.

Su Yi didn't stay too long. After all, he had to have dinner with his second aunt at noon. He looked at the samples and was quite satisfied. He didn't expect that domestic animated films were making such rapid progress. More than ten years ahead of schedule!
·····
Three months later.

Almost all entertainment media and newspapers around the world are reporting on a movie.

""The Dark Knight"! Released today! Simultaneously broadcast worldwide!"

Warner is also in a hurry. For a movie with such a complex workload, it would be a lot of work to finish it within three months.

"Sisley, who plays the clown in the play, went to the hospital for emergency treatment today due to an overdose of sleeping pills!"

I don’t know if this is a different kind of publicity or if it’s just a coincidence.

Heath Ledger was found convulsing and vomiting in his apartment.

Fortunately, it was discovered early and death was avoided.

However, it was the interview with Heath Ledger that made headlines in many countries.

"The role of clown makes me unable to extricate myself every day. I was even addicted to it for a time. Especially do you know about Director Su Yi's script and shooting? I once asked Director Su Yi before how to play a character with a weird appearance and an engaging style. An unpredictable yet terrifying clown?”

"Director Su Yi directly told me to go to a lunatic asylum, observe and imitate their behavior, and try to understand their thoughts."

This passage appeared in the newspaper intact.

It caused an uproar.

Jack Nicholson, who has played the Joker before, is recognized as the best Joker and has countless fans. After hearing the interview, he openly lashed out.

"Such a publicity stunt is regrettable. I think a good movie, or a good character, should have its own understanding. I am not familiar with Heath Ledger, but this poor publicity method aroused my disgusting. But he also succeeded in making me want to go to the cinema to see it!"

And other DC Comics fans are also complaining crazily.

When filming first started, there was a heated discussion, but things gradually subsided. Now before it was released, there was no publicity, but the villain almost committed suicide!

In an instant, the attention was full.

Even Su Yi himself was a little surprised.

It seems that what should have happened has always happened, but after the timeline was changed by himself, the corresponding people and things have undergone earth-shaking changes.

"Batman filmed by a Chinese director and the Joker produced by a young mentally ill actor. Oh my God, is Warner Bros. this time driven crazy by the excitement of Disney's hero movies?"

There was a lot of criticism abroad, especially from some die-hard fans.

But the audience in the Dragon Kingdom were looking forward to it very much, and even scolded the foreign audiences for it.

All cinemas have been given the keys to authorize broadcasts.

And it is still under strict control to prevent ticket fraud, and even more so to prevent box office theft.

"Director Wu Yusen's new film "Red Cliff" has announced that it will withdraw from the current release schedule. It will be broadcast at another time, and the specific time is to be determined!"

""Yangtze River No. 7" directed and starred by Stephen Chow has announced that it will be postponed!"

""The King of Kung Fu" has been postponed once and cannot be changed again. It will be broadcast at the same time as the new movie directed by Su Yi!"

Many movies have avoided this date.

This is especially true for famous directors like Wu Yusen and Zhou Xingchi!

What a joke, even if they don’t want to change gears, the investors behind them will have to change gears!

But this kung fu king is also quite helpless.

Liu Yifei still went to this crew.

Because it is also co-produced by China and the United States, the biggest gimmick is that Jet Li and Cheng Long, the two kung fu superstars, collaborate for the first time.

Liu Yifei didn't want to star at first, but this time Liu Yifei's mother took the role.

Because she also has a role, playing the role of the Queen Mother.

But it's just a cameo, basically no scenes.

Mainly Su Yi's works during this period basically did not include Liu Yifei because they were not suitable.

Liu Yifei herself was fine, but Mother Liu was anxious.

In her opinion, a girl's beauty only lasts for a while, and time cannot be wasted.

After the LV and Dior incident, Liu Yifei's general endorsement shocked the world. Although she was not as brilliant as Liu Shishi's travel spokesperson in China, she had more fans abroad.

The King of Kung Fu, co-produced by China and the United States, brings together two Kung Fu superstars and famous foreign directors.

And the appearance fee is also very high.

Mother Liu had no reason to refuse, and although she recognized Su Yi's talent, she also felt that women could not rely on men. She herself was the best example.

So Liu Yifei was asked to take the film.

But what I didn't expect was that I really collided with Su Yi!
How unlucky!
It has been postponed once before due to review and modification issues, and it cannot be modified this time.

Movies released.

"007: Quantum of Solace!"

"King of Kung Fu!"

"Batman: The Dark Knight!"

There are almost no purely domestic movies!
One is a spy movie that has been serialized for decades and has countless fans, and the other is a movie starring Cheng Long and Jet Li, as well as the new goddess Liu Yifei.

There are also movies directed by Su Yi! I avoid all other movies!
This can be described as a battle between dragons and tigers!
In fact, there are a few movies abroad, but they are not big productions.

The audience also became excited when they saw the movie to be played today.

The film schedule rate is 4%, Batman 4%, Kung Fu King 007%, and the remaining % is and some small movies.

It is estimated that after the first day, those small movies will not have a filming rate.

····
Red Star House.

"This is so unfortunate."

Mother Liu was a little upset.

This time, it was actually not just for fame, but also for the remuneration offered by the other party.

Both Cheng Long and Jet Li were offered friendship, with only US$1000 million to star in the film.

Liu Yifei also paid a performance fee of US$280 million.

"Mom, don't be upset. My senior just called me. He said it's okay. With the gimmick of two Kung Fu superstars, the box office will not be low, because the movie is distributed by China Film, and there are Warner's global distribution, he alone as a director cannot control the release time."

Liu Yifei said softly.

When she was at home, she acted much more lazy.

I once laughed at myself in an interview that I was a loser, and often acted like I was not very smart, but in fact I was not as bad as I appeared.

Most of the time they are edited, and the so-called star halo is just what ordinary people think.

"Director Su didn't say anything else, right?"

Liu Yifei saw her mother wanting to stop talking and immediately understood her worries.

"What are you talking about about cooperating with Huayi? Huayi Brothers only added investment later, and it doesn't matter even if they cooperate at the beginning. The senior also said that it would be possible to cooperate with Chen Kaige."

Cooperate with Chen Kaige? forget it!

Mother Liu also knew that Su Yi was joking.

And Su Yi really thinks so. The entertainment industry is a circle. He doesn't have many works now, and he won't become a model worker in the future. He has to be involved in any movie, and it is still for public welfare.

So it’s impossible to tie them up all the time, right?

Don't talk about Liu Yifei, ask Su Yi, Yang Mi will basically work hard for the crew as long as it's not too much.

Only Liu Shishi kept following his own pace.

Mother Liu nodded, then looked out the window.

She had a hunch that Su Yi's movie would definitely be a hit this time!

···
China Film Official Website.

After experiencing several crashes, the official website finally managed to maintain smooth operation with the help of technical staff from the General Administration.

Because too many people visit the online ticket purchase entrance.

In just one day, it received more than 3000 million visits.

Of course, there are not really so many people, and repeated refreshes also count.

But this astonishing data has predicted box office success.

Many celebrities and actors have already posted @苏伊 on the blog.

"@苏伊, congratulations on the release of the movie today! Best wishes to break the box office of Changjin Lake!"

The talented Xu Jinglei has started to update her blog and posted movie tickets.

Liu Shishi's blog: "Congratulations to the senior director for his Hollywood movie being released!"

Yang Mi: "Give me a role next time!"

Cheng Long: "I hope all the movies will be a big hit, but it's really uncomfortable to be released at the same time as Chairman Su!"

Since the last Sharon Stone incident, the film associations on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places have been unprecedentedly united, and Su Yi's status in the industry is also growing day by day.

This time the movie is released, many directors have already started to forward it and follow the promotion.

Even Cheng Long is like this.

Cheng Long was also unlucky this time. "The Myth", which was supposed to be a hit before, ran into "Parasite" shot by Su Yi.

This time the King of Kung Fu met Batman again.

But regardless of promotion or not, the most important thing is the quality of the movie!
On this day, the dark crowd once again went to the cinema.

The only difference from before is that it's not just the audience from the Dragon Kingdom.

Many people also go to movie theaters in North America, Europe, and Asia.

·····
The movie opens on the streets of Chicago.

That weird mask with a smile, and that seemingly still back! (End of chapter)
