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

Chapter 118 is officially scheduled for release! Soon to be shown! The boss has invited me to film it again? (4k words must-read)
On the internet.

Everyone is talking about "The Bravest".

They all believe that this is a true reflection of how firefighters act when faced with difficulties.

at the same time.

In a villa on the island of Taiwan.

Director Chung is having dinner and chatting with several filmmakers.

One of the filmmakers was engrossed in watching a video on his phone.

Another person asked, "Old Chen, what are you doing?"

"I'm watching the trailer for that firefighter movie directed by Song," Old Chen replied.

At this point, someone joked, "Old Chen, you really know how to bring up the most sensitive topics. Director Zhong is still here."

"Oh dear, I forgot, I forgot that our Director Zhong seems to have a conflict with this Director Song, right?" Old Chen pretended to put his phone down, but subconsciously pressed the volume up button a few times.

Director Chung complained, "What's the conflict? What does it have to do with me that they can't win the Golden Horse Award? It's not like I bribed the Golden Horse Award judges. Besides, they really don't have anyone making movies about firefighters, so there's nothing wrong with what I said."

“That’s right.” Old Chen nodded, then pointed to the video on his phone and said, “I think the clips and trailers he released are just so-so.”

Director Zhong then took a curious look and saw that this trailer did not contain any explosive scenes, but rather each person was looking at their phone camera and recording a short message.

It's like leaving a will.

Actually, Director Chung had considered this plot before.

However, he felt it was too sentimental.

Firefighters must have a strong will when facing a fire.

If these things were filmed, people would think the firefighters were too cowardly.

When I was filming "My Rescue", I didn't include this segment.

Looking at the video that Director Song filmed, he said disdainfully, "All you do is play the sentimental game. Is a movie about firefighters meant to be sentimental? They're going to put out fires. You don't know how to film it at all, and you're still talking rudely."

Old Chen and the others exchanged glances, then cheerfully raised their glasses: "Director Zhong, why bother with them? They're just jealous of you. Who told you to win the Golden Horse Award? Fame brings trouble."

"Never mind them, let's drink."

"Yes, drinking."

Director Zhong felt even more delighted.

Anyway, I've already won the Golden Horse Award.

They also won several awards.

If there's an opportunity at the end of this year, I might try to get into the China Film Festival.

As long as he produces excellent works, he has absolutely no worries about not being invited by the film festival organizers.

At that time, he will once again step on Song Hao's head at the China Film Festival and win the Golden Rooster Award for Best Director.

"Wait!"

Because the park could only be set on fire once, each actor had to endure more than ten hours of filming during the shoot.

After all, once the fire stops, the fire and the current state of the park will no longer be the same as before.

During this time, everyone encouraged each other.

Let's persevere together.

As the director, Song Hao was also present on set.

Facing the raging fire, he didn't even wear protective clothing, but stood directly next to the actors and gave them instructions.

He also hired a professional fire brigade to provide immediate guidance whenever they found anything unprofessional or amiss.

They cannot afford to make any professional mistakes in this film.

With such persistence.

The filming lasted for five days.

We've finally finished filming the scene of the oil pipeline explosion in the industrial park.

Next.

Song Hao then went to the water's edge, which was full of oil.

Xu Xiaobin, played by Ou Xiaohao, is responsible for ensuring the water supply at the fire scene.

However, the water contains a lot of weeds and debris, which can clog the pump from time to time.

Ou Xiaohao had to jump into the water to clean it up.

That's how it is.

He got tangled in the water plants and couldn't get up.

He died a heroic death.

During the filming of this scene, the underwater photographer captured Ou Xiaohao's struggle.

On-site staff and professional rescue teams were waiting nearby.

If any abnormality is detected in Ou Xiaohao, filming will be stopped immediately.

Fortunately, Ou Xiaohao practiced swimming for about half a month.

I'm already very skilled at it.

After filming this part, the disaster relief scene was finally over.

Song Hao filmed the other dialogue scenes in one day.

This is the end.

"The Bravest" broke Song Hao's record for the fastest film shooting.

It was even faster than when "All or Nothing" was made, taking only thirteen days.

At the finals banquet.

Song Hao smiled helplessly: "To be honest, if we hadn't only built one park and had no way back, and if most of the shots had been filmed in one take because we were afraid of burning it down and having to reshoot, I definitely wouldn't have made everyone work so hard."

"Thank you all."

After saying that, Song Hao picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

All the actors and crew members present stood up.

"Thank you, Director Song."

"May 'The Bravest' be a box office hit!"

"come on!"

"It's sure to sell like hotcakes."

After the wrap party.

Song Hao also announced on the official WeChat account of "The Bravest": 【Filming for "The Bravest" has officially wrapped! ~】

A group photo of everyone was then attached.

In this group photo, almost every actor or staff member has very tanned skin.

The actors, especially those playing firefighters, looked particularly exhausted.

It's clear that they've had a really tough time filming these past few days.

Netizens were amazed.

"No way? Filming's already wrapped up?"

"I remember it was only recently turned on."

"It seems like it's only been open for about half a month."

"Correct."

“I heard that they only built one park, so many shots had to be filmed in one take, which put a lot of pressure on them.”

"That's amazing! This must be the fastest film that Director Song has ever made."

"I'm getting more and more excited about what this movie is about, when it will be released, and when the release date will be set."

Soon after, Song Hao also announced the release date.

The time is August 10st.

National Day film season.

Many people were not surprised when they saw this time.

After all, the National Day holiday can significantly boost box office performance.

Most directors choose to release their films during this period.

And now there is only a little over a month left until the National Day holiday.

Can you make it?

People expressed their doubts about this.

However, Song Hao's team this time seemed to be working on a super high.

He was holding back a lot of energy.

The rest was completed in just four days.

Because most of the shots were filmed in one take, the final cut was produced quickly by following the chronological order.

Song Hao also sent people to submit the document to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television for review without delay.

At this time, Director Jiang of the fire department had already spoken with the leaders of the broadcasting bureau.

Green light all the way.

The film is complete, it has passed censorship, and the release date has been set!
Next, Song Hao and others will begin promoting this movie.

And this time.

The Six Princess Movie Channel invited Song Hao and others to participate in the "China Movie Report" program.

This is a good publicity opportunity for Song Hao.

It's important to know that "China Film Report" is a highly authoritative program.

Being invited by this program is, to some extent, a recognition from the Sixth Princess.

"Look at Chinese films from a news perspective, and discover news from the perspective of films."

"Professional, authoritative, and exclusive reporting on everything related to movies, serving as a vanguard in the development and dissemination of Chinese film industry, and providing the most in-depth film culture reporting in China."

"Hello everyone, welcome to 'China Film Report'. Today we have invited the cast and crew of 'The Bravest' to our program."

"Let's welcome director Song Hao, and lead actors Huang Xiaoming, Du Jiang, Yang Zi, and Ou Xiaohao with applause."

Amidst enthusiastic applause, Song Hao and his entourage made their entrance.

Li Mi, the female host of "China Film Report," greeted Song Hao and others with a smile: "Hello, Director Song Hao, please say hello to the audience here and the viewers on TV."

Song Hao then looked at the camera and said to everyone, "Hello everyone, I am Song Hao, the director of 'The Bravest'."

After a few pleasantries, the female host immediately got to the point: "The Bravest is the first commercial film produced across Mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong with 'fire' as its theme. What new challenges did you encounter during the production process?"

"This film is based on a true story. I interviewed many real firefighters and asked them how the actual situation happened. Actually, the film set was quite dangerous. We were shooting night scenes every day, and there were chemical tanks nearby. We had to stay on the line between life and death. This led to many stories about the firefighters. They are great and fearless," Song Hao replied.

"As the director of 'The Bravest,' what was the biggest challenge you encountered during filming?"

After hearing this, Song Hao smiled helplessly: "The biggest difficulty is that I worry about safety every day. Because the actors playing the explosives operators are all young people, my biggest concern is that they work the night shift every day and there are many explosions during filming. I'm afraid that when they are very tired, they might lie down and sleep at the explosion site."

“Every time I talk to the crew about safety, I tell the martial arts director to watch out for people near the explosion points. That’s what I’m most worried about.”

“We have to count the number of people every day. If 10 celebrities, firefighters, and actors come in, 10 of them have to come out.”

Upon hearing this, the audience burst into applause.

The female host was somewhat surprised: "So that means your movie didn't use any special effects, it was all real fire."

Song Hao nodded: "The sets we filmed were built to a 1:1 scale, and a lot of the filming involved real fire. Basically, the explosions were real explosions, so the effect is very realistic."

Female host: "I watched our trailer and there were many touching scenes. Did you come up with all of these, Director Song?"

Song Hao shook his head, then said seriously, "The reason why movies are moving is because of the stories of the real people behind them."

"The English title of the movie 'The Bravest' is 'Bravest,' which means the bravest, because firefighters are among the bravest heroes in peacetime. Fire and water are merciless, but there are always people who rush into battle. They are ordinary, yet extraordinary."

After hearing Song Hao's words, everyone present paid the highest tribute to the film crew.

Next, the female host, Li Mi, asked the lead actors questions.

Huang Xiaoming: "I have to thank Director Song. To be honest, I was really surprised that he invited me to participate in this film, and in the end I did not disappoint him."

Du Jiang: "I've always wanted to play the role of a firefighter and experience firsthand what it feels like to be on the scene of a fire."

Yang Zi: "The character I play, despite the pain of losing her fiancé, still has to prioritize the greater good. This is actually a microcosm of the stories of real people who silently dedicate themselves."

Ou Xiaohao: "I don't know how well I acted. Only the audience can judge that. But what I do know is that Zhang Liang, the martyr who sacrificed his life, must have tried his best to ensure the water supply. Compared with him, my efforts are not even a fraction of his."

This segment started playing very quickly.

Only then did netizens realize that so many unforgettable things had happened during the short two-week filming period.

Most importantly, the character played by Ou Xiaohao is actually the prototype of the oil pipeline explosion accident from back then.

For a time, many people searched for information about martyr Zhang Liang.

After learning about his heroic deeds, many people went to the martyrs' cemetery to pay their respects.

Without him, the fire department would not have been able to supply water.

It is very likely that the fire will not be able to be extinguished on the front line.

Once the fire spreads to the chemical tank area, the entire region will be plunged into despair.

Everyone also realized something.

There is no such thing as a peaceful life; it's always because someone is silently bearing the burden for you.

"Cherish your life now, because it is thanks to the selfless dedication of those who give so quietly."

"Actually, one way to make things easier for firefighters is to use fire reasonably and pay attention to safety. This will reduce the number of times they need to respond to emergencies and lower the risk of danger."

"Yes, we must be careful!"

Even before the movie "The Bravest" was released, a number of educational videos on safe fire use had already begun to appear online.

Some even act as supervisors.

When they see unreasonable or irregular content on Weibo and Douyin, they all tag the local fire department to correct and rectify it.

It seems to have sparked a wave of safety and civility.

at the same time.

The crew of "The Bravest" has also started a promotional tour.

They were promoting their movie.

Actors like Huang Xiaoming were particularly enthusiastic, even posting several videos a day to promote the show.

The scale of this operation is growing larger and larger, and it seems poised to surpass the box office success of "Dying to Survive".

However, Song Hao knew very well that the box office of "The Bravest" should be around 20 billion yuan, and would not surpass that of "Dying to Survive".

After all, "Dying to Survive" is better than "The Bravest" in terms of both subject matter and emotional resonance.

But none of that matters.

He made this movie, "The Bravest," not for high box office returns, but to let others know that mainland China can produce movies about firefighters.

And the quality is quite good!

Most importantly, it is also to pay tribute to the selfless dedication of firefighters.

Just when everyone was waiting for the release of "The Bravest".

Director Long of the Anti-Drug Bureau gave Song Hao's phone number to the leaders of the Ministry of Education.

Director Zheng of the Jinling Culture and Tourism Bureau gave his phone number to Director Ou of the Chang'an Culture and Tourism Bureau.

Immediately, both leaders called Song Hao.
