Chapter 112 Golden Horse Awards?! "Dying to Survive" nominated!! [Urgent! Please help!]

"Wait for me, I'll go back and take wedding photos with you, and marry you!" — Martyr Zhang Liang.

In the plot of "The Bravest", crude oil leaks at the dock. After a loud explosion, flames engulf the sky, and panicked people flee in all directions.

Amidst the raging fire, fire trucks bravely braved the flames, heading against the flow...

They used their own flesh and blood to build a safe home for the people.

After eight thousand turns, the suicide squad finally closed the valve leading to death in the 106 oil tank area with their hands, which were covered in blisters from the heat.

Just as the fire was extinguished in the early hours of the morning, devastating news came that Xu Xiaobin, who was in charge of the remote water supply, had sacrificed his life.

The character Xu Xiaobin in the movie is based on Zhang Liang, who was in charge of remote water supply during the Xinhai oil explosion.

Because there was so much seaweed and other trash in the seawater, Zhang Liang had to go into the water every few minutes to clean it up.

However, the surrounding waters have been polluted by crude oil and are very slippery.

His comrades attempted to rescue him multiple times, but all attempts failed. He was eventually swallowed by the polluted seawater and died a heroic death.

Because of the significant impact of this incident, the media did not report on it extensively.

Therefore, many people do not take the initiative to investigate, and are even unaware of the number of people who sacrificed their lives or the truth behind the matter.

After learning about the explosion, Song Hao immediately realized that he had made the right choice in selecting this movie.

When the movie "The Bravest" was released, it allowed everyone to truly understand the situation and difficulties faced by firefighters at that time.

Some viewers have questioned the film's plausibility.

One scene shows the commander telling the protagonist, Jiang Liwei, that each valve needs to be turned eight thousand times to close. Viewers thought this design was ridiculous and even a bit fake.

With four valves in total, requiring a total of 32,000 rotations, how could that possibly be accomplished?

Furthermore, when Jiang Liwei burned his hand on the valve with the flames, a normal person should have picked up his gloves before trying to pry it open. How could he have held out for several hours with his bare hands?

Therefore, viewers at the time questioned whether these two plot points were very unrealistic, as they were impossible to achieve under normal circumstances.

however.

In real-world cases, the valve doesn't rotate 8,000 times, but rather ten times that number.

80,000 revolutions!!!
Moreover, four firefighters were trapped here for seven or eight hours without being able to stop, otherwise all their efforts would be wasted.

In addition, some viewers felt that taking off the gloves was too fake.

But in reality, the three firefighters actually took off their gloves to speed things up!
Faced with the selfless dedication of firefighters, Song Hao felt that this movie had to be made well!

He recalled the script of "The Bravest" and wrote down all the scenes and content.

He also made improvements to many contents and details.

After all, he now possesses the filming experience and design style of three top international directors.

He has unique insights into how to make a better film.

He stayed at home for four days.

He is writing a script.

In this process.

There has been some discussion online.

"I heard Director Song started a company?"

"Yes, I saw it on Tianyan (a Chinese surveillance website). They've established Guoteng Culture Media."

"Haha, this film company is pretty good. Do you guys think Director Song is currently preparing a movie?"

"It shouldn't be that fast, 'Dying to Survive' has only just finished its run in theaters!"

"Have you all forgotten? Director Song's creative speed is very frequent, incredibly fast."

"It's the end of August now, and I really hope to see Director Song's new movie released before the end of the year."

"I can guarantee that Director Song's next new film will definitely be a commercial blockbuster, at least it won't be a promotional film or a realistic film."

Many people are looking forward to it, and they all believe that since Song Hao has started a new company, he will naturally not make movies of this genre anymore.

Although Song Hao has been breaking the boundaries of people's understanding of promotional videos and realistic films.

However, now that he has started a new company, he will definitely choose movies that are more in line with the market in order to cater to the public.

Just then, someone suddenly started leaking information.

One of them, who claimed to be an insider, left a message on Zhihu.

"Thank you for the invitation. I was suddenly asked what new movie Song Hao will be making next. Many people are guessing, and I also know some inside information. I can only say that the theme of Director Song's new movie is very similar to his previous movies. Those who understand, understand. If you don't understand, I won't say any more."

This answer came out.

This immediately sparked a barrage of criticism from netizens.

"You understand my ass, I understand, I understand."

"If Director Song makes another movie with that kind of theme, I'll eat shit live on air!"

"Director Song only made the promotional video because he was invited by an official department. Now that he has his own company, there's no reason for him to still make these kinds of videos!"

"I don't believe it!"

Of course, some netizens also felt that the insider was highly credible.

After all, Song Hao is currently a hot commodity among government departments.

Who wouldn't want him to help promote their movie?

Even a joint production would be great!

Online, opinions are divided.

Song Hao, however, is busy selecting roles for his new movie.

In fact, for supporting roles, such as the special operations squadron captain Ma Weiguo, he has already chosen Du Jiang.

The role of Jiang Liwei's wife is to be played by actress Tan Nao.

In her previous film, "Dying to Survive," Tan Nao's portrayal of Si Hui was absolutely perfect.

So this time, Song Hao chose to continue working with her.

As for Xu Xiaobin, the firefighter who sacrificed his life, Song Hao chose Ou Xiaohao.

Young and energetic.

However, regarding the protagonist Jiang Liwei...
Song Hao hesitated.

Logically speaking, Huang Xiaoming would have been a good choice to play this role.

However, Xiaoming's overly greasy image in previous years, along with his criticized acting skills, did indeed damage his public image.

After much deliberation, Song Hao still felt it was worth a try for Xiaoming.

He quickly compiled a list of all the actors.

When Director Jiang of the fire department read the script, he was quite surprised.

He looked at it repeatedly for two hours, and finally exclaimed in amazement, "Is this the result of your work over the past few days?" "Yes, Director Jiang, it may have been a bit slow," Song Hao explained.

Director Jiang shook his head repeatedly: "This is not slow at all! This is already very fast!"

He looked at the script again, his gaze lingering on it for a long time, partly marveling at the content, and partly recalling the explosion that happened back then.

If Director Jiang doesn't agree, filming such a large-scale scene would be impossible without the assistance of the fire department.

Finally, Director Jiang spoke.

He looked at Song Hao and finally said, "Xiao Song, this script is approved. If you need any assistance, just tell me, and we'll do our best to make a shocking rescue film."

"Don't worry, Director Jiang."

Hearing this, Song Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After the script was approved, he felt more confident.

During this period, he actively sought out actors and communicated with them about potential collaborations.

The first person I contacted was Teacher Tan Nao.

When Tan Nao learned that Song Hao wanted to invite her to act in another film, she agreed without hesitation.

She didn't even ask what movie it was or what role it was.

This surprised Song Hao greatly.

Tan Nao said earnestly, "Director Song, ever since I directed the last film, 'Dying to Survive,' I've known that you are a talented director. As for what I want to act in or what I want to film, I'm willing to do it all."

"Okay." Song Hao also cheered.

It was precisely because the actors trusted him that he found it exceptionally easy to secure collaborations.

At this time, he also unexpectedly received an official invitation from the Golden Horse Awards in Taiwan.

According to the official invitation, his films "Operation Mekong" and "Dying to Survive" have been nominated for numerous awards.

Even the nominees for Best Director have their own names on them.

Originally, Song Hao planned to send a representative to the event so that he could focus on arranging the new movie.

However, considering that the Golden Horse Awards organizers actively invited Song Hao to participate.

He ultimately chose to attend the Golden Horse Awards ceremony in person.

What if he wins the Best Director award?
After all, he looked at the list of shortlisted works and, in terms of quality, "Dying to Survive" and "Operation Mekong" should be far ahead.

Not to mention the box office.

It can be said that the total box office revenue of all the films nominated did not reach that of his two films.

Therefore, Song Hao chose to attend the Golden Horse Awards ceremony.

The Golden Horse Awards also listed all the directors and stars who were officially invited on Weibo.

Netizens were immediately surprised upon seeing this.

Over the years, the Golden Horse Awards have invited many mainland Chinese stars.

However, since most of the awards were won by local Taiwanese artists, it was unfair.

In the past two years, some mainland actors have declined the invitations from the Golden Horse Awards.

The Golden Horse Awards organizers may have realized the problem.

Therefore, they invited some influential mainland actors and directors well in advance.

It can be said that it is full of sincerity.

One of their targets is Song Hao, who has become incredibly popular in the last six months.

After much effort and communication, Song Hao agreed to participate in the Golden Horse Awards.

"Wow! Director Song is going to the Golden Horse Awards!"

"Then they must be going to win an award!"

"Yes, with the release of 'Operation Mekong' and 'Dying to Survive,' these two films were absolute game-changers. What else could compete? There aren't any other great films either!"

"Hahaha, Director Song missed out on the Best Film and Best Director awards last year, but it seems he'll finally achieve his dream this year!"

"I'll first win the Golden Horse Award, then the Hong Kong Film Awards, and finally the Golden Rooster Award at the China Film Festival! I'll become a renowned director right away!"

"Will there be a live stream?!"

The news that Song Hao participated in the Golden Horse Awards has suddenly brought renewed attention to the Golden Horse Awards, which previously had little popularity in mainland China.

Everyone is also curious about the awards ceremony a week later.

Who will win the awards then?

soon.

Amidst everyone's anticipation.

The Golden Horse Awards have officially begun!
When the entire event was broadcast live, the director in charge of the Golden Horse Awards was shocked when he saw the online viewership data from the backstage.

It's worth tens of millions!

So scary?!

It's worth noting that last year's Golden Horse Awards only had a million attendees.

Why are there so many more this year?!

Looking at the topics and popularity of the discussions in the comments section, the director seemed to understand something.

Soon, the camera focused on Song Hao, who was sitting in the guest seat.

"Director Song!"

Wow! That's so cool!

"Director Song, keep it up! You must bring glory to our mainland film and television industry!"

"Don't talk about the mainland or not, we're all one family!"

"We're from the mainland, and they're from Taiwan, right?"

"Look, all the nominations for the awards are out!"

As the camera panned to the big screen, everyone was surprised to find...

Song Hao's two films, "Operation Mekong" and "Dying to Survive," have received a total of 16 nominations!
Among them, the most important award—Best Feature Film—was nominated for both!

Almost all viewers believe that Song Hao will definitely win the Best Feature Film and Best Director awards this time.

Meanwhile, the judges on the organizing committee looked at the two votes within their group and ultimately chose the one from Taiwan...

Please vote for me with monthly tickets!
I attended my high school roommate's wedding today, and I mostly wrote this in the car.

I'm very sorry, there won't be a third update.

I'll try to write as much as I can when I get home tomorrow.

Sorry, but I'd still like to ask for some monthly votes (ó﹏ò)
I also recommend a book by a good friend, "It's Not About Making a Galagame," you should check it out!
