In Su Yi's opinion, this movie is the last postmodern martial arts movie.
I am willing to turn into a stone bridge and be blown by the wind and rain for five hundred years, just for you to walk across the bridge!
Jiangnan Yuxiang, Qingtang and tiled houses.
The killer hides in the market, and the couple hides their identity from each other. It feels a bit like the martial arts version of Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
“Okay! Director Su, I don’t dare to shoot your work casually. I will ask Xu Ke to co-direct with me as the director, and Yuan Heping as the martial arts director! This is my last movie. I will definitely take it seriously. Treat.”
Wu Siyuan took a deep breath.
He has always liked to train new people, but this time he has changed his mind.
The last film to be closed!
His hopes were aroused, as if he was as proud as when he left Shaw Brothers and filmed Snakehead!
“The title of the movie with a good name is full of romance. Arrows are falling like rain.”
Su Yi thought about it, but still didn't tell him that it was 'Jian Yu'.

Long Guoxing Entertainment Company.
Xiang Tai looked at Xiang Huaqiang's solemn expression and felt a little puzzled.
"Huaqiang, what's wrong? Didn't you go and sign the contract with that mainland guy today? Did something happen?"
Xiang Tai has the capital to be proud of.
After the demise of established forces such as Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest.
Xiangjiang has long entered a new state of 'Three Kingdoms'.
Xiang Huaqiang’s Long Guoxing, Yang Shoucheng’s Emperor Group, Lin Jianyue’s Media Asia!
In fact, the artists involved are all artists under the three companies, and they are all competing in secret.
Among them, the heroine Zhang Baizhi is the leading actress of Long Guoxing.
Before he was exposed, Long Guoxing had filmed many classic movies, such as "The Gambler 1999", "The Gambler vs. Las Vegas", etc., but then he fell into the same predicament as Golden Harvest Entertainment. .
At this time, in order to reverse the situation, Long Guoxing chose to cooperate with mainland companies.
The most famous one is Chen Kaige's "The Promise"!
At first, Long Guoxing believed in Chen Kaige’s ‘strength’ and invested a lot.
The same goes for Xie Tingfeng, one of the most popular actresses of the Emperor.
What makes both companies feel slightly embarrassed.
Long Guoxing felt humiliated.
Especially after the collapse of Wuji, the failure to march into the mainland made them even more angry.
In the land of Xiangjiang, no entertainment news is groundless, there are countless secret confrontations!
In the end, the actresses who appeared on the surface seemed to be hurt the most. After all, she was the only official girlfriend recognized by Edison Chen.
As for the Emperor, who was infinitely glorious and ambitious, his generals were disgraced one after another, including Ah Jiao, Xie Tingfeng and so on.
Xie Tingfeng couldn't even hold his head high and spent huge sums of money to calm the situation, but the response was still huge.
As for Media Asia CEO Lin Jianyue, the content of his apology was very sincere.
This is Lin Jianyue’s strategizing!
Although Yung Kwok-sing has taken revenge on the Emperor, Zhang Baizhi's popularity has also been greatly reduced. Even if Yung Kwok-star only has a movie contract with Zhang Baizhi, basically Zhang Baizhi is in a state of having no movies to take on.
At this juncture, Su Yi, the young director whose one joke caused Wuji to collapse, and the world's number one box-office director, came to Hong Kong!
This is the best opportunity!
The three major entertainment groups are all paying close attention to Su Yi's movements.
Even the declining established forces like Wu Siyuan don’t have as many eyes and hands as they do.
When Su Yi came to Xiangjiang, he found Su Yi immediately and helped Su Yi solve the big trouble.
Su Yi set foot in Xiangjiang with a political mission and a personal commission.
But the forces in the Xiangjiang entertainment circle also want to cooperate with Su Yi to turn things around!
Although Xiang Huaqiang showed favor to Su Yi, he also felt that his company did not have an advantage.
He sighed, feeling a bit like a late hero.
"Don't say such things, I've gone today. I didn't talk about signing Su Yi, I can only talk about cooperation."
Xiang Huaqiang shook his head gently, thinking about how to cooperate.
Although Xiangjiang has been back for many years, there has been no cooperation before. That is to say, Wu Siyuan took the initiative to go to the mainland and found Xiaoxiang Film Studio (the predecessor of Mango Broadcasting's film group) and Xiying to cooperate in the filming of "New Dragon Gate Escort".
After the great success, both parties marveled at the other's market and strength.
However, after so many years, neither Yongsheng nor Long Guoxing rarely cooperates with the mainland.
Now Xiang Huaqiang naturally cannot find a way out.
"Hua Qiang, back then your father was driven away by the people of the Eagle Kingdom on charges of espionage, but you got nothing. You have become the top power in their respective fields. What difficulties can stump you?" "
Xiang Tai said comfortingly.
At the same time, they also secretly hated Zhang Baizhi. Although they had reconciled, Zhang Baizhi seemed to be a rebellious daughter, causing them to lose their face and their last trump card.
If Su Yi doesn't come this time, they are planning to sell the copyrights of some classic movies as a whole and move to other industries.
"It is indeed difficult. But I am old. I am no longer qualified to compete with young people! There is no eternal force. At that time, it was said that 'the world's martial arts came from Shaolin', 'the world's movie stars came from Shaw Brothers'!, 'Shao Brothers' The company that produced "must be a good movie" suddenly collapsed. "
Xiang Huaqiang suddenly felt a little discouraged.
"It is true that there is no eternal company, but this young man is so important?"
Xiang Tai didn't know much about Su Yi, but he knew a lot about the mainland's system.
She has always believed that this is a young man cultivated within the Dragon Kingdom system.
"It's very important, whether it's the support from the mainland or Su Yi's personal influence, we must know that this time it's not just our Hong Kong film company, mainland companies are also actively participating and even Hollywood companies!"
Xiang Huaqiang sighed.
On the side, Xiang Tai was shocked. This battle seemed a bit like a dragon crossing the river!
This river is Xiangjiang!
As for who Long Mo is, it’s obvious!
The relaxed smile on Xiang Tai's face disappeared.
"We have all come through these big storms. At worst, we have to give up the audio and video industry! Now the audio and video industry is not very profitable. With the impact of the Internet, profits are getting lower and lower."
< br> Xiang Tai comforted her, and she felt a little uncomfortable. If an industry that used to make a lot of money suddenly had to give up, anyone would definitely feel uncomfortable.
“Young people should not be underestimated.”
Before Xiang Huaqiang finished speaking, the phone suddenly vibrated. He was a little impatient at first, because there are many things happening in this position every day, but after seeing the number from the mainland, a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart.
To be honest, at this stage, whether Su Yi represents himself or the official.
With any identity, they can continue to go very far on this road.
Hong Kong’s film industry is about to undergo earth-shaking changes!
At first, Shaw Brothers and Jiahe were the dominant companies, but later they became three pillars. But now times are continuing to change.
If you cannot catch the express train of the times, you will be abandoned! From this point of view, Wu Siyuan, who is known as the godfather of Hong Kong movies, is the real scheming one. Regardless of his original intentions, he easily won Su Yi's trust.
If I had responded to Su Yi's call and tried my best to block Sharon Stone, I would have lost nothing and gained Su Yi's friendship. Unfortunately, there was no regret medicine. The forces in Hong Kong at that time felt that this was not the case. This thing is simply impossible. Even if he responded, he would not be as indignant as Wu Siyuan showed.
This ginger is still spicy!
Although Xiang Huaqiang is about the same age as Wu Siyuan, and he is more legendary, he is indeed not as good as Wu Siyuan in terms of his sharp vision.
“I am Xiang Huaqiang, is it Director Su?”
Xiang Huaqiang's tone was calm, but in fact, he was already expecting something in his heart.
On the side, Xiang Tai also came over and listened carefully.
"Chairman Xiang, I was in a hurry just now. Now I have discussed it with Chairman Wu. I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation. We are preparing a movie. Your company meets the standards for cooperation."
Cooperate with Su Yi!
A smile appeared on Xiang Huaqiang's seemingly cold face.
"Okay, looking forward to cooperation!"
Xiang Huaqiang breathed a sigh of relief after hanging up the phone.
"Huaqiang, Su Yi asked us to invest? This is Su Yi's movie! How about letting your son play a guest role?"
Xiang Tai said.
"This is just the negotiation stage. Let me test Su Yi's tone when the time comes, but don't force it. Su Yi is not from the Hong Kong film industry - and he must pay attention to the overall situation. He is from Long Guoxing Film and Television Group If the business is strong again, it won’t be a matter of time to make his son famous.”
Xiang Huaqiang knows what is important and what is important.
"Prepare funds and withdraw all investments with low returns!"
Xiang Tai was even more puzzled when he heard this.
How much money can be invested in a movie? It’s also a martial arts movie!
"Preliminary calculation of investment is 100 million, because this is Su Yi's movie."
This amount of investment must be for movies all over the world.
The box office of Xiangjiang is over 50 million, which is considered very high.
No one is surprised, Su Yi will definitely break the box office record of Hong Kong movies, hitting 60 million directly.
But the population of Xiangjiang is so large, so there will definitely not be many box office.
Like the billions on the mainland, it is simply impossible.
In 2023, Xiangjiang’s permanent population will be 7.5 million!
A movie ticket costs 30 yuan. Even if everyone watches it once, the box office will be more than 200 million.
It is also impossible for everyone to watch a movie without being left behind.
So a big-budget movie with a budget of over RMB 10 million must at least please the mainland audience.
Otherwise, it would be a money-losing movie.
Su Yi's movie loses money?
Leaving aside whether it is realistic or not, even if it keeps losing money, there are countless companies to invest in!
Look at Chen Kaige, it has been bad for so many years, but there are still people investing.
The Taoist priest comes down the mountain and the story of the demon cat is told.
Both the reputation and the box office have collapsed.
But later on, there were still people investing!
Chen Kaige is like this for a Palme d'Or, let alone the almighty director Su Yi.
During this period, Hong Kong has been paying attention to Liao’s insurance fraud case, and there was even a live broadcast of the trial.
Hong Kong citizens are paying attention.
Later, news such as the revelations about the Cross Chamber of Commerce made people in Xiangjiang even more angry.
However, I also have a good feeling. Only by daring to expose one's own scars and squeeze out the dirty blood can recovery be possible!
And this is also a manifestation of political clarity.
Furthermore, Su Yi previously filmed The Dark Knight and gained countless fans.
Now that Long Guoxing has released the news, the whole Internet is probably going crazy!

Xiangjiang, InterContinental Hotel.
Su Yi and Liu Yifei were sitting at the dining table.
The script of Jian Yu has been sorted out. Su Yi liked this movie very much in his previous life.
And also added some innovative plots of his own.
Liu Yifei is an absolute heroine. Originally, the character ‘Xiaoyu’ was played by Yang Ziqiong and Lin Xilei, the bosses of Star City Entertainment.
But this time Su Yi decided to let Liu Yifei star alone.
The emotional entanglements in it are more complicated and detailed. Of course, as a costume movie, there are no intimate scenes, at least not for the heroine.
Originally, everyone in this movie was introduced in detail, including the killers of Blackstone.
But it is not detailed enough to resonate with people.
Su Yi didn't go out for three days in this luxurious Intercontinental Hotel, and had been working on the script.
He was the first to call out Liu Yifei, who lived next door, and put the script on the table.
Seeing Su Yi's red eyes, Liu Yifei bit her lip.
This strange feeling was like a stone suddenly thrown into the lake, and layers of ripples rippled in Liu Yifei's heart.
It gave her the urge to rush over and hug Su Yi.
"Feifei, this movie echoes the previous ancient style. I have asked people from the domestic clothing company to measure you - and this movie will also use 3D·IMAX wide Screen mode. Teacher Yuan will also customize martial arts actions for you. Feifei, this is a rare opportunity to show off our ancient culture. The background this time is defined by the Ming Dynasty, but the theme is martial arts. There is a lot to learn. place, and it will be very hard.”
Although Su Yi did not have a name as a director at the beginning, he was still the main director under the strong recommendation of Wu Siyuan and Xiang Huaqiang.
If you want to go global, you can’t do it without Su Yi’s name!
"In terms of actions, I have already found a substitute, especially for some dangerous actions——"
Before Su Yi finished speaking, Liu Yifei walked over slowly.
And even after breaking through the safe distance, he did not stop.
Today Liu Yifei is not dressed up, but she is dressed very coolly.
I was so excited about the movie just now that I didn’t pay attention to her dress.
Wearing a floral tube top dress, her hair is tied up high, with a few strands of hair falling down, she looks like an elf who has fallen into the world, but her expression is a bit haggard.
The exposed shoulders are so white that it makes people feel panicked.
“Thank you, senior! But I want to work hard on my own.”
Liu Yifei bravely raised her head, and then she stood on tiptoes
The whole world was white and warm.
Aren’t you relying on your own efforts? Is this an unspoken rule for directors?
Such an idea appeared in Su Yi's mind, but he was 'paralyzed' by the warmth and could not think of any resistance.
Think of the sad face full of tears and the donation check worth tens of millions
The emotion and guilt hidden in the heart are intertwined.
ps: Jianyu is just an appetizer, and Liu Yifei is just a kiss (end of chapter)
