The anti-fraud bureau needs a promotional video, and you're going to make a "Desperate Gam

Chapter 108: 20 Billion in 13 Days, Rocket Speed?! Rating Over 9.2 (Please Subscribe)

It's worth noting that before this, who could have predicted that "Dying to Survive" would have such high box office returns?

Despite Song Hao having already filmed three promotional videos, all of which were box office hits.

And it keeps climbing higher and higher.

However, this film is not backed by official sources.

Judging from the recent release trends, "Dying to Survive" was more or less approved for filming with official tacit consent.

However, direct support and behind-the-scenes assistance have completely different meanings for a film with such a sensitive subject matter.

Therefore, from a certain perspective, "Dying to Survive" is a major stepping stone for Song Hao to transition from promotional videos to commercial films.

The previous short film "The Tuner" had already filled audiences with anticipation for Song Hao's ability to produce commercial films.

Unexpectedly, his first commercial film after gaining fame was a game-changer.

It's not just a royal flush, it's a four-of-a-kind with two extra cards.

According to data from Maoyan's box office predictions, it is highly likely that "Dying to Survive" will become Song Hao's first film to gross over 30 billion yuan.

Of course, it's too early to say these things now.

After all, "Dying to Survive" has grossed 17 billion yuan at the box office.

It will take some time to surpass "Operation Mekong".

If that's achieved, then the film's target will be 30 billion.

Many netizens were also very excited.

They treat the film like their own child, as if the higher the box office of the movie, the more proud they feel.

Therefore, many people on the internet are praising this movie.

Furthermore, the film also reflects issues such as the high cost and difficulty of accessing medical care, the inclusion of anti-cancer drugs in medical insurance, and the introduction of innovative foreign drugs.

One of the bloggers affirmed the impact of "Dying to Survive".

In his article, he wrote: "Dying to Survive, at least within the current social context, can be considered a masterpiece. Through this film, some people can see themselves in the present, and some can see themselves in the future."

[Yes. Looking at the people around me now, they're all struggling to make ends meet, some even struggling to survive.]

[People who envision their future selves often experience a sense of crisis, such as whether they will contract a similar disease, whether their family members will contract it, and whether such a disease will lead to financial ruin, etc.]

Finally, to quote the medical expert, I hope the future will be better and better.

The last sentence completely ignited the hearts of the audience.

"I am a medical professional and I also interned in the hematology department for a period of time. To be honest, hematological diseases are really difficult to cure. The drugs are very expensive and the treatment course is very long. Almost all patients spend all their savings to treat the disease."

"Yes, my neighbor, an uncle, also suffers from this disease. He has been hospitalized repeatedly, had repeated fevers, and his resistance has been declining. He seems to be a very optimistic person, but I also heard him say that he really doesn't want to live anymore."

"We don't ask for anything else, we just hope to be safe and sound, and to be able to afford medicine when we are sick, that's enough."

These comments have made young people realize that health is the greatest blessing and contentment is the best thing.

Even some grassroots police officers expressed this view.

These days, there have been far fewer cases involving family conflicts.

It seems that we can learn from this movie the importance of cherishing the people around us.

Yes.

It's quite possible that the person you argue with today will pass away tomorrow due to illness.

It can be said that "Dying to Survive" has not only made great progress at the box office, but its impact on society is also obvious.

Song Hao also received a call from Director Jiang of the Drug Administration.

"Hello, Director Jiang," Song Hao said politely.

Director Jiang then asked, "Xiao Song, are you free today?"

Song Hao guessed that Director Jiang might have something to discuss with him, so he said, "I'm free, Director Jiang, please speak."

"It's like this, the director of our drug regulatory department would like to meet with you."

Worried that Song Hao might think it was something bad, Director Jiang reassured him in advance, "Don't worry, the director just wants to praise you and have a chat with you in person."

Song Hao smiled and said, "No problem."

"Then come to the Pharmacy Administration Hall now, and I'll send you the address."

Soon, Song Hao arrived at the Medicine Supervision Hall.

I was a little nervous while waiting in the conference room.

He didn't know what the director would talk to him about.

It's highly likely that the topic will be about "Dying to Survive".

Soon.

The door opened.

The person who led the way in was Director Jiang, followed by a man in a suit.

His face is quite kind.

Song Hao immediately stood up.

This is the head of the pharmaceutical department!

The top leader.

"Hello, leader," Song Hao replied respectfully.

Director Liang smiled, looked at Song Hao in front of him, and praised, "So young! Good lad, looks like a very good movie."

He then gestured, "Come on, let's sit down and talk."

"it is good."

Director Liang first asked about the cost of "Dying to Survive".

After Song Hao answered, he nodded and said, "The cost wasn't high either, so the box office should have broken even by now, right?"

"We've already broken even, and at this rate, we should be able to make some box office revenue," Song Hao replied.

He certainly wouldn't dare to deceive his superiors in any way.

Perhaps the leaders had already sent people to investigate thoroughly before this.

Director Liang affirmed, "That's right. As long as we break even, more people will be willing to make films with realistic themes like this."

He then told Song Hao, "In the past six months, we have accelerated the process of including many expensive cancer drugs in the medical insurance catalog. Currently, many commonly used drugs are centrally procured by the government, and drug prices have decreased, which has reduced the burden of medical treatment for some people."

"Just then, Director Jiang told me that there was a young man who was very good at making promotional videos, so I thought I might as well promote our medicine and let the people know the importance of medical insurance." "Unexpectedly, the young man actually filmed Lu Yong's case."

Director Liang laughed: "Back then, I handled Lu Yong's case, and I also agreed to include the expensive drug Gleevec in the medical insurance program."

Song Hao immediately said, "I know that our government has always been wholeheartedly for the people. I imagine that when you were dealing with Lu Yong's case, you were thinking of other patients who were in the same situation."

"Yes."

Director Liang remarked with emotion, "It is precisely because of this that I am even more proactive in promoting the inclusion of medicines in the medical insurance program."

He looked at Song Hao and said, "I called you here today just to tell you that if you want to make a medical-themed movie in the future and need any help, you can come to Director Jiang. As long as the direction is right, go ahead and make it. I support you."

"Thank you, leader," Song Hao said gratefully.

Thus, Director Liang's words seemed to give Song Hao a lot of confidence.

Of course, leaders also use code words.

That means [the direction is correct].

As long as you don't do anything reckless, you'll always have someone supporting you.

Thinking of this, Song Hao was quite happy.

Putting aside how much help the leader can give me, this one sentence is enough.

In the days that followed, Song Hao had nothing to do.

I occasionally check the box office of "Dying to Survive," and it has already exceeded 20 billion yuan.

Only 13 days have passed.

Following this trend, 30 billion is indeed a possibility.

Moreover, there are ratings on Douban.

After extensive verification by netizens, "Dying to Survive" has basically maintained a score of 9.1.

The minimum requirements in the system have been exceeded.

Now we're just waiting for it to surpass "Operation Mekong" at the box office.

While we waited, the celebrity charity gala hosted by Harper's Bazaar fashion magazine began.

This charity gala attracted countless celebrities.

Facing the camera, they were all dressed up in their finest attire.

To Song Hao's surprise, Bazaar also invited him.

Since I had nothing better to do, I decided to go and participate.

On the red carpet at the gala.

Celebrities from all walks of life showed off their talents.

They tried every possible way to generate more buzz and exposure in the media.

But Song Hao didn't want this kind of attention.

He briefly greeted the reporters and then prepared to leave.

However, Zhang Yiyi certainly wouldn't let such an opportunity slip by.

She was already waiting by the red carpet for her prey to appear.

The last time she was at the China Film Festival, she walked into the event arm in arm with Song Hao.

Now, six months have passed.

Song Hao's popularity has reached a new level.

This also gave Zhang Yiyi some wicked ideas.

So when she saw Song Hao walking over, she immediately greeted him warmly: "Director Song~ Do you remember me? Yi Yi~"

Upon seeing her, Song Hao had already guessed what was going on, and then smiled and said, "Sister Yiyi, of course I remember, it's been a long time."

“Yes, what a coincidence. We bumped into each other on the red carpet at the China Film Festival last time, and now we’re meeting again today.” Zhang Yiyi then reached out to take Song Hao’s arm and said to her, “How about we take a photo together?”

"OK."

As Song Hao spoke, he turned around and glanced at Wang Chuanjun behind him: "Chuanjun, come on, take a photo with Sister Yiyi!"

Wang Chuanjun naturally understood as well.

He jogged over and said, "Sister Yi, it's been a long time."

Zhang Yiyi's face turned somewhat pale. She hadn't expected Song Hao to send people over again, so she could only smile awkwardly and say, "Chuan Jun, it's been a long time."

“Yes.” Wang Chuanjun knew that Zhang Yiyi wanted to ride on the coattails of the situation, so he took the initiative to ask, “Sister Yi, what are you filming lately?”

“I’m taking a break recently.” Seeing that he was bringing up the very thing she didn’t want to talk about, Zhang Yiyi simply went all out and said, “You too, you’re already so famous, and you don’t even recommend any roles to your sister.”

"I'm only able to get roles because of Director Song. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been able to get any acting opportunities."

Wang Chuanjun's words left Zhang Yiyi speechless.

All they could do was look at the media cameras and force a smile.

After successfully shaking off the celebrities who were trying to ride on his coattails, Song Hao praised Wang Chuanjun, saying, "Not bad, you have a good eye for talent."

“I learned all of that from Instructor Song,” Wang Chuanjun said with a smile.

He then asked, "Director Song, how much do you plan to donate tonight?"

Song Hao asked, "How much do you usually donate?"

“Some donations range from a few hundred thousand to several hundred thousand, with the average being around 500,000. Of course, some celebrities try to curry favor with the editors of fashion magazines by donating large sums to buy the magazine covers. This is an open secret. However, it seems that the list of donors for charity galas has not been made public since last year,” Wang Chuanjun replied.

He continued, "I'm planning to donate one million to children in mountainous areas. What about you, Director Song?"

Song Hao slowly extended one finger.

Wang Chuanjun laughed and said, "Same as me, Director Song, you're donating one million, right?"

Song Hao shook his head.

Wang Chuanjun was somewhat surprised: "Ten million?"

Song Hao shook his head again.

"Could it be... one hundred million?"

Before Wang Chuanjun could finish saying "hundred million," Song Hao explained, "one hundred thousand."
