Wang Zhongjun is not without temper.
They all came from the compound. Before becoming President Wang, they were always running around and quarreling with each other.
He had indeed made a wrong choice before, because the conflict between Chen Kaige and Su Yi at that time made Wang Zhongjun think that Chen Kaige wanted Su Yi to bow his head.
It's like giving this young man a beating.
Unexpectedly, the young man did not succeed in the beating, but instead suffered a cerebral hemorrhage.
Afterwards, it was like being stuck all the way.
To actually reach this status.
Wang Zhongjun knew that the rabbit's enthusiasm would definitely bring about the heat of the border war.
As an entertainment media company, you must make money.
Although Feng Xiaogang's movies don't lose money, they don't make much profit either.
This made Wang Zhongjun a little anxious.
Guan Zheng Xiaolong even asked for Su Yi's phone number.
Originally, Zheng Xiaolong didn't want to give it to him, but he couldn't resist Wang Zhongjun's insistence.
After all, Zheng Xiaolong owed him a favor back then.
Wang Zhongjun also said that we are talking about cooperation.
But unexpectedly, I was met with disappointment.
Su Yi said this and hung up the phone.
"Mr. Wang, what should I do?"
Seeing the scene was a bit embarrassing, several subordinates asked in a low voice.
"What should I do? Without Su Yi, the movie will not be made? Call Director Chen!"
Mr. Wang snorted lightly, feeling a little unhappy.
Although Chen Kaige's "cost-effectiveness" is not high, he is still a famous director after all.
Parasite wins an Oscar, but there's no movement at Cannes yet.
Farewell My Concubine still has a dominant position.
Chen Kaige's status is still second only to Zhang Yimou.
In fact, without Su Yi, the box office of Chen Kaige's The Promise would not have been much higher. Han Sanping insisted that he did not lose money.
However, it has always been favored by investors, and all the movies it shoots are large-scale productions, with almost all stars.
The box office is getting worse and worse, but I've still been able to do well, and I even claim to be the leader of the fifth generation of directors.
The more this happens, the greater the fame.
Therefore, in the eyes of many people, Chen Kaige is not finished now, but just a little depressed.
Anyway, The Promise still grossed over 100 million at the box office and was even nominated for an Oscar.
He also went to the last Oscars.
It's the best costume design, which is a bit ironic.
"This time we invested 300 million yuan to shoot a movie about overseas wars! Chen Kaige directed it and our artists participated. I don't believe it. I found a good script and he is still missing a director!"
Wang Zhongjun was also cheering himself up and was keenly aware of the business opportunities.
·····
CCTV.
"So many leaders?"
Su Yi said hello one by one.
People from Bayi Factory and the education department?
"Director Su, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Director Hu smiled.
Lao Luo was a little surprised when he saw this scene, but he also knew that it had nothing to do with the documentary.
Lao Luo said hello to everyone and returned to his department.
"They all came because they wanted to invite Director Su Yi to shoot a movie."
Su Yi felt dizzy for a while.
Let the bullets fly and become a hands-off shopkeeper.
I also need to prepare to go to the United States to discuss copyright matters.
The documentary is also in progress, and there are many calls coming in from other projects every day.
For example, stories about the growth of cute pets, traveling with books, etc.
Everything is being filmed, and it is expected to start a blowout in the middle of the year.
At this time, when I come to find myself, I am really overwhelmed.
"Director Su, I know you are very busy recently. There is no rush in this matter. The preparation of a war movie still takes a long time, but our leaders are also determined. The effect of the soldier assault is very good, and the recruitment work is very smooth. Now that the rabbit has inspired me, I think the soldiers want to watch a movie about overseas wars - although cartoons are very touching, they still show very little."
This makes sense.
Director Zhang’s words were also very sincere.
"Those who are able work hard. The leaders of our education department have already said hello to the leaders of the propaganda department and the General Administration. Of course, Director Su still needs to agree."
Director Zhou looked at Su Yi with admiration in his eyes.
A small cartoon triggered so many chain reactions, which no one could have imagined.
Who would have thought that the most expensive figure of that rabbit already costs tens of thousands.
It will definitely become more expensive as time goes by.
"Yes, Director Su. You can prepare the script first when you are not busy. The rest is easier to talk about."
Director Hu also knew that this was a political mission.
Letting the bullets fly was a favor to Jiang Wen, and it also dealt with the sky-high actor fees.
The documentary is Su Yi's personal 'ambition'.
But after the rabbit appeared in advance, in addition to being loved by people of different ages, it was also valued by various departments.
Capital TV has launched interviews with veterans. Apart from some basic investment by the program team, all the remaining advertising fees are used to improve the lives of veterans.
The ratings of this show are not low either.
In the latest program of "Waiting for Me", we will also help several veterans find their old comrades.
The main theme is that war, and corresponding TV series are applying for filming.
However, this time the requirements have been raised a lot, and there cannot be a situation like an anti-Japanese drama.
We must respect history and the real situation.
Movies should be approved.
The businessmen with keen awareness immediately wanted to invest in the movie. Even if they were rejected by Su Yi, they would still shoot it!
"We are here today to discuss, not to put pressure on you. We have cooperated with each other before, and we hope to create greater glory! It also allows people to more intuitively understand the hardships of that battle!"
Su Yi sighed.
It’s not that I don’t have a script in my head, it’s just that there are a lot of things going on right now.
"I have to finish the documentary work, so I might prepare the script. It's easy to say."
Su Yi smiled.
Director Zhou and Director Zhang’s eyes lit up.
I knew that Su Yi must have a solution!
"Now that our two departments invest together, many things can be solved!"
This time it was finally not in vain and everyone was happy.
With Director Su Yi in charge, they felt at ease.
"Producer, director, it's all you. Don't have any psychological pressure, we trust you!"
"We know that war movies must require a lot of investment! Our Bayi Film investment is 300 million, and we also have the support of extra actors!"
"The funding for our education department is 200 million."
What a grand gesture!
Su Yi's heart moved.
"I'll try to put it on the agenda."
An investment of 500 million is not small.
This is 2006!
"I'm really looking forward to this movie now. Su Yi, you should also go say hello to the National Film Bureau and China Film Group!"
Director Hu was shocked in his heart, but remained calm on the outside.
With this investment and Su Yi's guidance, what kind of glory will it have?
······
Su family.
"Son, are you so busy during this period? Can't you take a break after the Spring Festival Gala?"
Mother Su looked at Su Yi with some distress.
"You don't understand. My son is currently on the rise. It's good to be tired. Those directors who have nothing to do only get angry!"
Su's father said nonchalantly.
"That's true. They say boys look like mothers. This is because they have inherited my talent! Everyone in the work unit, whether they know each other or not, are all praising me. It makes me a little embarrassed. Even the people who serve food in the cafeteria pay more I have two spoons! He also said why your Su Yi is so good and can produce so many good works!"
Speaking of this matter, Su's mother had pride on her face.
"Yes, yes, they are just like you - but when it comes to my son, haven't you thought about personal issues?"
There are many beauties in this entertainment industry.
It is no exaggeration to say that there are too many people with good figures, sweet looks, and personalities.
But how sincere the feelings are, he can feel that Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi should like him.
When they were planning to film Soldier Assault, both of them invested in it. At that time, they were only slightly famous.
There are no such popular works later.
So there was unconditional trust at that time, especially since Liu Shishi's family was not very wealthy at that time, so they tried their best.
Su Yi still remembers this favor.
Later, after Natu became popular, Su Yi sold some peripheral copyrights to Liu Shishi's father at a low price.
"I'm busy every day, but I haven't met anyone who is suitable."
"Actually, Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi are both good. Although they are both actors, you are the director. Who dares to take advantage of them?"
Su Yi smiled helplessly, he was not in a hurry.
Both girls are now 18 years old.
"My son is so busy, so don't put pressure on him. There are many good girls, so take your time and meet them. Maybe there will be a suitable one. Are you going to Shanghai this time?"
Su's father was quite open-minded. With his son's current conditions, he could choose any good girl.
"Would you like to come with me? Just treat it like a trip."
Su Yi suddenly said that he had made money, but he had not yet led the old couple around.
He merged with the memory and took over this body. These are his biological parents.
"No need, we haven't retired yet and have our own lives, but you should be careful when you go there. You have shot so many documentaries and commercials before, and you have offended a lot of people."
Su Yi nodded indifferently. Those who might have done something dirty had basically gone in, and the human traffickers were like rats crossing the street.
Besides, given my current status within the system, basically it would be good if I don’t cause any trouble.
"Brother! I caught you today!"
Xiaoxuan and Xiaoyi followed their parents into the yard.
After the Spring Festival, grandma and grandpa went back to their home.
These two girls are both studying and haven't been here for a long time.
"Haha, if I had come a little later, I might have left."
Su Yi smiled fondly. In the era of only children, this was her biological sister.
"Humph, you promised me last time that you would give us a complete set of that rabbit doll!"
"Don't talk nonsense. This complete set of dolls is quite expensive. Besides, your brother Su Yi is now the director of CCTV. You can't accept gifts casually. I have already made a reservation for you, but you will have to arrive later."
The second uncle said hurriedly from behind.
Su Yi was about to go on a business trip, and he didn't know when he would come back, so he naturally had to see him off.
"Don't tell me, this doll is really expensive and popular! Don't tell me, look at this capital city, there are usually so many people crowding the buses, but I didn't expect that there are even more rich people!"
The third uncle came over with a smile.
"This doll is expensive. Isn't it the rabbit directed by Xiao Yi? When I wanted to buy it, it was basically gone."
The second aunt is carrying fruits.
"Look at you, a junior has to go on a business trip for a few days and buy something specially."
Su's mother hurriedly took it over. The family had a good relationship to begin with, but now that Su Yi has become successful, they are even more interested in making friends.
In fact, I didn't come here to take advantage. Now everyone knows that Su Yi is doing charity, and even though they are relatives, it is the money Su Yi earns, and it has nothing to do with them. They just think it will be face-saving to tell them, that's all.
"Oh, we also hope that Director Su will be able to shoot a more classic work! I heard this time it will be a documentary?"
"Well, although it is a documentary, it is almost the same as a movie. The picture is more sophisticated, and there will be many guest stars in it."
Seeing that the adults changed the topic, the two children stopped entangled. Xiaoxuan had just been acting coquettishly with her brother before.
Not really blaming.
"Are there any celebrities? I haven't met a few of them yet. Brother, everyone in our class thinks you and Liu Yifei are a good match! But I do think you and Liu Shishi are a couple!"
These kids
But this is normal, because children nowadays are also starting to chase stars.
This time, I surpassed all idols and powerful stars, and directly topped the rankings.
From the Spring Festival Gala until now, it seems to have been popular.
"cough"
While they were chatting, a girl outside blushed.
She struggled to carry several large plastic bags filled with exquisite dolls.
Those puppets have different shapes, and they are the latest version of Natu figurines.
I originally wanted to go in, but after hearing Xiaoxuan's words, I was a little embarrassed to go in.
Her face turned red with embarrassment. The girl who came had a slender figure, a good temperament, and dignified facial features.
"Are there guests?"
The third uncle looked at it.
"Oh, isn't this...Gao Qilan!"
He forgot Liu Shishi's name, after all, there were still very few masterpieces.
"Shi Shi? Are you here? Why did you bring it in by yourself?"
Su Yi was a little surprised when he saw Liu Shishi.
But I just happened to have to go find her.
"Don't listen to the nonsense of children - is this all?"
Although Liu Shishi has not graduated from college yet, he has participated in many film crews. He has seen the world and quickly returned to normal.
"The man at the door was very responsible and didn't let the driver in. But it doesn't matter. They look like many dolls, but they are actually dolls."
Liu Shishi was dressed appropriately today, a light-colored coat with a high-collared shirt underneath, her hair tied back, and her slender figure looking bumpy. In several of Su Yi's works, there are a lot of details about some clothes. The changes are basically 2023 aesthetics, which quickly gained the favor of many celebrities.
"Ouch! I finally see a star!"
Xiaoxuan and Xiaoyi came over happily.
"Wow! Sister Shi Shi! You are so beautiful!"
Liu Shishi smiled, having heard a lot of such compliments.
"You guys are cute too—"
Being in Su Yi's house, they are basically relatives, but they don't know the specific identities of this group of people.
"This is all charity from my relatives, right?"
"My father's thoughts are all worthless - but they will probably be out of print in the future and will no longer be produced."
After Su Yi's introduction, Liu Shishi greeted everyone and then entered the room.
Xiaoxuan and Xiaoyi were a little reserved at first, but then they couldn't hold it back anymore and started taking photos with Liu Shishi.
Liu Shishi also knew about their relationship with Su Yi, so he never showed any impatience and took various selfies with the two children.
"If you look at other celebrities, they are prettier than ordinary people. How can their figure and face be compared to ordinary people? Moreover, they have a gentle personality and are practicing dancing. This temperament."
The old aunt, Su's mother and others were whispering to each other.
Look at Liu Shishi from time to time.
This is true. Those who can become stars are those who were discovered when they were in school. Not to mention the beauty of the country, they are far superior to the average person.
"Crack!"
Looking at those non-mainstream photos with swollen faces, Su Yi was a little speechless. After all, he still had the memory of 2023. Seeing such a posture again felt a bit strange.
It's the legendary pouty mouth and scissor hands.
"Are these all out-of-print? Hahaha, my classmate even grabbed a Bunker Rabbit a few days ago, and everyone in the class was envious."
Xiaoyi couldn't help but said after looking at the doll in the plastic bag.
Su Yi nodded happily. Liu Shishi's father did a good job. There is an explanation on each doll of the same series.
They are all real cases in overseas wars.
For example, the soldier who sacrificed his life to blow up the bunker, blocked the eyes of others, and remained silent even after being burned.
Making the Q version is not to disrespect them, but to let more children know their stories.
"I brought the full set."
Liu Shishi took out the things.
They are all packed in wooden boxes and are highly collectible.
"If this is out of print, how much money will be lost?"
The second aunt's family was in business, she exclaimed.
"My dad asked the same question at the time, and it was what my senior said. If you want to grow your business, you should not be greedy for immediate profits, but should improve your brand. This is the long-term path. For example, if people think your things are valuable, then you will You can speculate and buy, but if you make and wholesale without restrictions, no one will gradually recognize it.”
Does Su Yi still have this knowledge?
The second aunt and the old aunt are both in business. After thinking about it slightly, I think it makes sense.
"And this time I went to Shangmei. If we can negotiate more copyrights, our company can also purchase them, and then we will have more IP."
Su Yi still feels it is a pity to see some of Mei's animated characters.
I don't think it should just disappear.
It should accompany the childhoods of several generations!
"Going to the United States? Wow! Will Calabash Baby be able to release new works by then? Will they be played like Natu?"
Upon hearing this, Xiaoxuan asked hurriedly.
This is 'big news'.
Then you can go to school and brag to your classmates.
"That's right, I went here this time just to talk about this matter, and there was an order from above."
This is the 'condition' Su Yi exchanged.
Let me make a movie, I can say yes.
But you must get the copyright to use some of Shanghai's animated characters!
How did Disney start?
It has the copyrights of countless animated characters of its own, and even the Disneyland that became famous later, because it contains the feelings of countless people and the facilities.
We need to create our own country’s animation IP!
Nezha, Calabash Baby, Sun Wukong
Su Yi is a director and has no plans to start a company in the future.
However, in order to achieve glory, we must re-give life to these animated characters!
Just like that rabbit, it has become a popular anime that everyone knows now!
Still asking for votes! Thank you everyone! Because it’s about the combat power list! Monthly vote list! Thanks for the tip yesterday!
