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

Documentaries, especially those that shoot landscapes, require unparalleled visual effects, coupled with some trivia and popular science commentary, in order to attract more people to watch them.

Although documentaries have a small audience, they cannot be compared to movies.

For example, the current viewership of the international channel is only over 38%, which cannot be compared with the huge crowd when "All or Nothing" was broadcast on the movie channel.

When some people heard that it was Su Yi's new program, they hurriedly turned on the TV.

But as soon as I saw it was a documentary, I might just change the channel.

However, even some people who don’t like documentaries very much will gain a lot of relatively unpopular knowledge, which they find very interesting. With Su Yi’s fame, he can attract many people to like documentaries.

In their own words, I don’t like documentaries, but I like Su Yi’s works.

The previous "Hexi Corridor", although also very classic in its previous life and attracted many people to watch it, cannot be compared with Su Yi's re-shoot.

Because he invited celebrity actors, even though they were just clips, they were enough to make the audience excited.

This documentary about the archipelago has no plot and looks very casual, but the visual effect is very novel.

"The biodiversity in the archipelago is diverse, and thousands of years ago, the Dragon people lived here..."

Political matters were only mentioned briefly.

After all, we have to deal with some BBC documentaries, so there must be fewer political elements.

This is the double standard of some foreign awards. If it is about promoting the peace of a certain "terrorist country", then they will definitely applaud, but if their waistline is stabbed, then they will definitely ban it directly.

"These marine catfish are very different from freshwater catfish, and they have hard spines on their bodies that can easily pierce human skin."

When the camera moves below the sea surface, everything becomes dreamy.

Moreover, some fish in the sea are very wary of humans and will not let you take pictures of them directly, so you need a telephoto lens to capture them, but a telephoto lens is not good at showing details.

The details captured by previous organizations such as the BBC were not very good.

But this time, Su Yi amazed all the audience, and the details were almost perfect!
Especially the patterns on the sea catfish are clearly visible.

If this happened after 2019, it might not be a big deal, because at that time various technologies had made comprehensive breakthroughs, and shooting technology and digital signals had made great progress.

But this was in 2015, and even a BBC documentary couldn't do it.

The documentaries shot on the ocean in China before were even blurry to a certain extent. Some netizens even joked that the TV stations in Dragon Country converted the original 4K resolution films into 270P resolution, and then enlarged the footage to 1080P!

Although this statement is a bit exaggerated, it is not without reason.

With Su Yi's intervention, the film was presented almost in its original form, and for this purpose many more servers were added for transmission.

BBC Documentary Department.

"God, have the Dragon Country's cameras surpassed ours?"

The supervisor murmured.

If it were any other Dragon Country works, he would not bother to watch them.

Even if it was Su Yi's movie, he was not interested because he was in charge of the documentary channel.

What the BBC has always been proud of is its documentaries and records of adventure and exploration.

In their eyes, documentaries about Longguo are just in their infancy. When "A Bite of Longguo" was released, he just thought it was pretty good, but that was only because Longguo has a vast territory and a long history. The filming techniques were a bit fresh, but there was still a certain distance between them and their level.

They are also paying close attention to the broadcast on international channels this time.

After all, he is the director with the highest box office in the world.

Even though Hollywood seemed to have no reaction after Su Yi’s previous films came out.

But in fact, they were greatly shocked and expressed disbelief.

Especially the success of Wolf Warrior made them feel that the market is changing rapidly, and some of the things they were good at in the past may have been overtaken!
This caused great panic among the investors behind them.

In fact, the world now seems to have different cultures but live together, but because the West and North America have developed very quickly in modern history, they have attached importance to the power of propaganda from the very beginning, using movies and TV series to promote their culture around the world, and soon many countries have identified with their culture and believe that living in their country is the happiest.

Moreover, these movies are made very cunningly under the operation of capital. Many people post on the Internet pretending to be Chinese nationals, using the strengths of the Western system to compare the weaknesses of other systems.

For example, most houses in China have 70-year property rights, while many houses abroad have lifelong property rights and may even be passed on to the next generation, which makes them targets of attack.

But what many people don’t know is that in some so-called developed countries, you have to pay taxes almost every year, and they are heavy taxes!
Moreover, the consequences of not paying taxes are very serious. Even the bank will work with law enforcement officers to collect your house!
However, those who post the attacking messages don't know the science behind these things. They only know how to create conflicts and give the illusion that everything is fine abroad.

Faced with such cultural shocks and ulterior motives, even several generations are deceived.

Not to mention that North America and the West are good at this, even the Japanese who developed later would also have such propaganda, such as the so-called "magic car" Toyota.

A car can be passed down through three generations, and the car remains even after the person dies. There must be a road when the car reaches the mountain, and there must be a Toyota car on the road, and so on.

These slogans are very familiar to older people and may even be passed down by word of mouth.

In fact, Toyota cars did lead the times in a certain era, especially when domestic cars had not yet risen, and have always been the sales leader worldwide.

But if you look at the countries and shares of sales, you can find a lot of problems.

Almost all of it is propaganda!

And when promoting, they always avoid the important issues.

This is all a propaganda war!

In movies, a car advertisement can sometimes be extremely expensive.

And they have mastered this method of cultural invasion and propaganda.

At this time, Su Yi's name suddenly appeared, and he even became the world's number one box office director twice!

This shocked many Western and North American industries.

Because they don’t care what the subject matter is or what the novel idea is.

What they care more about is grades!

If it can make money, then it’s a good movie!

The film industry, which has always been monopolized, has been taken over by a man from Dragon Country!

However, the first time it could be said that it was a subject matter loved by the whole world, but in the second Wolf Warrior movie, there were still some patriotic elements, but it still exceeded the box office of other North American movies.

Hollywood is now gathering strength, and there is even a situation where several film companies jointly invest in a big production.

Disney is the leader, a large company with countless IPs, and is eager to try.

Although the BBC is not a film company, it will never allow itself to be surpassed in terms of documentaries.

It doesn't matter if it's popular in the local area, after all, the culture of each country is different, but documentaries of this level must not be surpassed! Originally, they wanted to see a joke, so they didn't pay much attention to the previous shots and commentary, because this was all normal performance. If Su Yi didn't have this ability, then he wouldn't be called the world's number one director.

But it wasn't until the underwater shooting that the supervisor was shocked.

There would definitely be no such effect if shooting with a telephoto lens, and it is not a post-production restoration, because the expressions and movements are very natural and you can tell at a glance that they were shot directly.

How was this filmed?
The supervisor was confused.

Because the equipment they have is very advanced, it is impossible that what Su Yi uses is better than what they have.

Su Yi only has a good relationship with Warner, and he is not a Chinese director with many connections, so only Warner can help him.

However, this is just the beginning of the documentary, starting with sea catfish, then to dolphins, baby sperm whales, baby killer whales, and so on.

"Boss, if you want to shoot like this, you can only hide at a fixed point and not block the lens. But this is full of uncertainty because fish cannot be controlled by humans!"

The supervisor patted his head.

"Yes, it's a fixed-point shot! But they are so patient? This is the bottom of the sea!"

The supervisor sighed, still a little bit unbelieving. This kind of fixed-point shooting is a bit difficult even for animals on land, unless they are some birds.

Many fish have no fixed habitat in the ocean, and there are many uncertain dangers beneath the ocean.

So you have to wait in one place for the fish to come and shoot?
This amount of time and patience is even a little unbelievable!

Because the supervisor had already conducted an investigation, these two episodes of the documentary were only filmed over a few months.

During this period, director Su Yi was even filming another movie!
How can a good documentary be made with such a disrespectful attitude?
At that time they were still very disdainful.

Now, after seeing this astonishing scene, I understand that Su Yi is not just doing things perfunctorily!
"The director is not here. Did you notice who the photographer and executive director were just now?"

The supervisor said a little frustrated.

Regardless of the subsequent plot, the scenery and pictures of the first episode alone are enough to prove that this is an excellent documentary.

He is also the director of documentaries at the BBC, so he naturally knows about filming.

"It's a Dragon countryman named Wang Xiaoling. He is the main photographer. The people from Warner Bros. are only responsible for the technology of the high-definition camera."

It’s not Warner’s people who are mainly responsible for filming this!
After hearing this, the supervisor was completely stunned.

····
Wang Fulin's family.

Wang Fulin was wearing glasses and watching TV seriously. The TV in his home was also the latest model.

In fact, he is not young anymore. To be called Su Yi's teacher, he is old enough to be a grandfather. Despite his age, his attention to the program has never diminished.

After Wang Xiaoling's ban was completely lifted, he used Su Yi's script, snatched Ning Caishen's work, and filmed "Wulin Waijia", which made him famous.

However, after filming this sitcom, Wang Xiaoling did not continue to shoot TV series, but instead remained silent for a while.

Wang Xiaoling lived very comfortably during this period and even slapped Yingda in the face at a party.

Even though Yingda has filmed many sitcoms, he can't be compared with Wang Xiaoling now.

Although Wang Xiaoling was very proud, he did not continue. Instead, he took a lot of award-winning photos and short videos.

When he was about to retire, "Lao Wang" finally lived the life he wanted.

This documentary is also Wang Xiaoling's peak performance.

"I heard that you also went into the sea during this shoot?"

Wang Fulin nodded as he looked at it, then looked at Wang Xiaoling.

"We can't help it. The time is tight and the task is heavy. Often one shot needs many days to shoot. We can't afford any delay. Those foreigners don't work overtime at all. They just eat and drink on time."

Wang Xiaoling felt a little helpless and wanted to smoke out of habit, but he still held himself back.

"If you want to be happy, don't hold it in"

Wang Fulin saw what was on his son's mind.

Although this is a documentary directed by Su Yi in name only, that is because this documentary can be seen by more people.

After the release of this documentary, Wang Xiaoling became even more famous.

Wang Fulin also knew that his son was very loyal and stubborn when he was young, and he even felt that he deserved to be sealed.

Because people don't appreciate it and sometimes even make fun of me.

Wang Fulin is an open-minded person. He has never blamed Yingda over the years and only thinks that it is his own failure in education.

But he also knew that his son wanted to make achievements in photography, and the short film was banned because of this.
After saying this, he couldn't help but smile.

Which father doesn’t want his son to become successful?
Since Wang Xiaoling was blocked, Wang Fulin has been helping him, but knowing his son's character, he knew there was no way to break the impasse, so the relationship between the father and son reached freezing point.

If Wang Xiaoling hadn't wanted to help Su Yi break free from the so-called "blockade" of the Beijing circle, there probably wouldn't be such an opportunity now.

When Wang Xiaoling heard his father say this, his eyes turned red even though he was over 50 years old.

People of that era might not be so obsessed with money, but they were quite stubborn about what they wanted to do.

To put it in a more literary way, it is a dream!

Show your abilities on the international stage!

Wang Xiaoling tried his best. He felt seasick at the beginning and vomited several times, but he still insisted on wearing the diving suit.

In less than half a month, I had forced myself to adapt to the pressure and fear of the sea.

"You have to thank Su Yi, this young man understood this truth decades earlier than you."

Wang Fulin sighed.

Wang Xiaoling also thought of Su Yi’s first time working.

That quit smoking advertisement, the smoked lung slices!
The photos were taken directly at the medical school, and there are several different types of lungs, some are 'fresh', anyway, there are various time periods.

Su Yi was a newly graduated student at that time.

I don’t know what kind of courage it takes to fight for a shot, even one that may be blurred.

No wonder such achievements can be made!

Wang Xiaoling watched the documentary on the screen and felt admiration in his heart. (End of this chapter)
