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

Chapter 122 "Three Thousand Miles to Chang'an": Poetry is the Romance of the Chinese People (Second Update, Please Subscribe)

I saw the task sent by this system.

Song Hao was somewhat surprised.

None of his previous four films were released overseas.

After all, these four films are not very popular with foreign audiences.

It's only supported by overseas Chinese.

"I don't know if 'The Bravest' will be able to be released overseas, and it's quite difficult to gross more than 500 million at the box office abroad!"

Although Song Hao was unsure whether "The Bravest" would be released overseas, he believed that the film would not flop, given the current situation in China.

After all, the box office on the first day reached 2.2 million.

This subject matter is a milestone in itself.

Sure enough, it was Director Jiang from the fire department who called.

As soon as the call connected, he beamed: "Xiao Song, our film 'The Bravest' is doing very well at the box office. It seems that many people appreciate our movie."

"Of course, after all, this movie is about us firefighters," Song Hao said with a smile.

"I've also had all the fire departments in the country watch it. This movie is very educational and reminds everyone to use fire safely and take precautions. I also want to thank you for watching such a good movie," Director Jiang said happily.

Song Hao quickly said, "Director Jiang, please don't say that. Making a movie for firefighters is just a small contribution I can make as someone in the industry. Besides, making such a movie would be a significant achievement in my life."

"You've got a way with words, kid." Director Jiang chuckled at Song Hao's comment.

He then asked, "I heard that Director Chu of the Ministry of Education asked you to make a movie, is that right?"

"Yes."

Director Jiang then reminded, "The Ministry of Education should make good films, since they are aimed at primary and secondary school students. By the way, I have applied to the Ministry of Education to include 'The Bravest' as a required film for primary and secondary school students. Let's see if we can get it approved."

"If you can get the job, you'll become the youngest director of a must-see film."

Song Hao was very pleased after hearing what Director Jiang said.

He quickly said, "Thank you, Director Jiang."

"No need to thank me. We're all doing this so that the audience can learn more about firefighters. And education has to start from childhood, right?" Director Jiang explained.

that's it.

After saying a few words of encouragement, Director Jiang hung up the phone.

Song Hao never expected that his film "The Bravest" would have the opportunity to be selected as a teaching material film.

If it can really be selected as a must-see film for primary and secondary school students in China, then it can be considered as making some contribution to the flowers of the motherland.

online.

Discussions about "The Bravest" continue.

To their surprise, the opening weekend box office was only 2.2 million.

You should know that Song Hao's last movie grossed over 3!

For a time, many people wondered if the movie would be bad.

Are those people online saying it's good-looking just paid trolls?
It was only then that some netizens noticed.

It turns out that the average ticket price for "The Bravest" is only 16.4 yuan.

It is far lower than the 28 yuan price of "Dying to Survive".

In terms of ticket prices alone, the price has been reduced by more than half.

Seeing this, many netizens exclaimed that Song Hao was a man of conscience.

Song Hao also posted a Weibo post at this time.

Please bring your children and family to the cinema to see "The Bravest," and witness the firefighters who solve our problems every day and stand at the forefront in times of danger.

This Weibo post immediately garnered a response from many fans.

Reposted one after another.

The second day of the film "The Bravest" grossed 2.1 million yuan.

The company has achieved a total box office of 4.3 million yuan.

The second-place film, "Love Me for Three Minutes," only grossed 783 million yuan on its second day.

This prompted Song Hao's fans to flock to Tang Guorong's Weibo comment section.

"Director Tang, didn't you say you were going to win the box office championship during the National Day holiday?"

"He can't even hold a hammer."

"They want to take the top spot on the first day with just over eight million in box office revenue."

"Haha, go ahead and rub against me as much as you want."

Tang Guorong was also anxious at this moment.

With the box office moving at a snail's pace, if this movie flops again, I doubt any investors will invite me to make movies anytime soon.

"Damn it, Song Hao is really lucky! How come the authorities keep asking him to make films? And every film he makes becomes a hit. If the Anti-Fraud Bureau had asked for my films back then, maybe all the resources after that would be mine." Tang Guorong got angrier and angrier as he thought about it.

Even now, he still believes that if the leaders of the anti-fraud bureau had asked for his script, perhaps their fates would have been different.

Unfortunately, his idea was still wrong.

The positive word-of-mouth surrounding "The Bravest" continues to grow.

At this point, some netizens curiously discovered that Song Hao's ardent fan, the blogger "Free Bird," always immediately releases videos and articles analyzing new movies as soon as they are released.

But this time, it's been showing for three days.

Still no action was taken.

Just when everyone thought that the blogger "Free Bird" might not like this movie...

But he updated it.

Moreover, the title is very touching.

If you don't believe in "The Bravest," then you definitely don't believe the true story behind the movie!

In the video.

His eyes were bloodshot as he looked at the camera and said, "Hello everyone, I'm Free Bird. In this episode, I'll be introducing Director Song's new film, 'The Bravest.' The reason I'm only releasing this video now is because I need to gather information."

"The Bravest is a movie based on a true story. I watched it as soon as it was released."

"After watching it, I saw some online discussions about the movie. Some people liked the movie and said that it helped them understand firefighters, who are heroes who are close to us but also far away. However, others questioned that the movie was too sentimental and exaggerated, and raised many questions."

"Here, I want to say: if you think 'The Bravest' is too sentimental and exaggerated, then you definitely won't believe the real-life events that inspired it."

"Next, I will show you the comparison between the movie and the real events one by one. You will find that compared to real firefighters and the tragedy of the real events, the movie is really very restrained."

"In the movie, if the oil tanks in the park were to explode at the end, the power would be equivalent to 20 atomic bombs. This is not an exaggeration at all. The explosive yield of all the oil and chemical tanks in the fire was more than 200 million tons of TNT, while the explosive yield of 'Little Boy' in Hiroshima was about 1.5 tons of TNT, which is equivalent to 133 Little Boys."

"."

In this video, many netizens learned the truth about the real case.

Only at this moment did I realize how powerful the aftereffects were.

They then realized that the firefighters of that year had all gone to the fire scene with the spirit of never returning alive.

"pay tribute!"

"salute!"

"I'm so touched."

"Alas, fire is merciless, but people are compassionate." Just then, a news story quickly went viral.

A firefighter born in the 90s suffered brain damage after inhaling toxic fumes while rescuing a little girl, resulting in his mental age regressing to that of a three-year-old.

His teammates looked at him with heartache and held back their tears.

After this incident gained attention, many people offered to donate money.

Song Hao also noticed this news.

The official account of "The Bravest" immediately stated that they would provide timely assistance to the firefighter's child regarding education and living expenses.

Because there are likely many more firefighters who risk their lives to save others, Song Hao also partnered with the fire department to establish a fire fund to subsidize firefighters.

This act of kindness has also received support and response from many netizens.

During the screening of "The Bravest", Song Hao looked at the newly established animation production department members and smiled, saying, "Hello everyone."

The designers in the office all looked at Song Hao with great excitement.

Although Guoteng Culture Media is a new company and has only just released one movie.

It can be said that its strength and status in the country are not among the top.

But none of that matters!!

Importantly, Guoteng Media is Song Hao's company!!

Who is Song Hao?!
That's the official representative director.

Moreover, he starred in four films that made him famous.

No, it should be five parts.

Although "The Bravest" is still showing in theaters, based on this box office trend...

Guaranteed at least 20 billion!
So they were all very excited.

Following Director Song will definitely lead to a bright future.

Song Hao then said to everyone, "We're going to make an animated film next."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other.

Although I was mentally prepared, I was still a little excited to hear Song Hao say that.

It's worth noting that Song Hao had only made live-action films before this.

I have never been involved in the field of animation.

Live-action movies and animated films are worlds apart.

Just as everyone was wondering, Song Hao took out the script and the design outlines for each character.

It was distributed to everyone in the office.

One of the young men was quite surprised after reading the script: "Is this... is this set in the Tang Dynasty?"

"The Tang Dynasty?"

"Li Bai, and Gao Shi."

The others also looked at the character designs and began to discuss them in hushed tones.

Song Hao nodded and then said, "I know that over the years, apart from having some confidence in animated films adapted from brands like 'Sheep' and 'Bear' that have been 'bombarding' television for years, the domestic market has been mostly in a wait-and-see state regarding other domestic animated films."

"Investors are hesitant to invest heavily in large-scale animation productions, and cinemas are reluctant to allocate prime time slots and multiple screenings for domestic animated films."

"If you ask adult viewers what they think of Chinese animation, most of them will say, 'Chinese animation is only for children.'"

"This stereotype that domestic animation is a 'childish product' or even a 'low-quality product' makes it difficult for them to become consumers of domestic animated films. So we need to change their perception: Chinese animation can also be very cool and adult-oriented."

"Our animation is an official representative work approved by the Ministry of Education, so children can definitely watch it. But we not only need to make it acceptable to children, but also to make it appealing to adults. This will be a test for all the designers."

"Before designing the character models, I hope everyone present will read the script three times, design the characters based on the story content, and complete the entire story chain."

These words stirred the emotions of everyone present.

You should know that they initially chose to work in animation.

Deep down, he has a heart that wants to revitalize Chinese animation.

However, the market downturn made them lose hope for a time.

It wasn't until Song Hao offered a hefty reward for his recruitment that many designers saw this as an opportunity and came to interview.

Now, after layers of screening, these designers are all carefully selected talents.

Song Hao believes that they will be able to create the animation they envision, based on the script and character design outline.

that's it.

After a passionate speech.

The entire animation production department staff put in twelve times the effort when working on the script.

Song Hao also knew that the production of "Chang'an 30,000 Miles" would take some time, so he did not set a date. He simply asked the staff to familiarize themselves with the script and thoroughly understand each character.

To his surprise, after he left the company...

Within an hour.

The entire animation production department went completely insane!!
Zhang Xianfu, the head of the animation production team, held the script with trembling hands and said to his colleagues, "This script is so well written."

The boy next to him adjusted his glasses and said excitedly, "I can now imagine in my mind a small boat slowly drifting between the high mountains on both sides, with the elderly Li Bai rowing a bamboo pole while reciting that timeless line of poetry."

"The cries of monkeys on both banks could not stop the light boat from passing through ten thousand mountains!"

"He looked up to the sky and roared, shouting at the heavens, so excited that he even threw down the pole!"

"I prefer the line, 'The roc rises with the wind, soaring thirty thousand miles high!'"

Another girl originally graduated with a degree in literature, but later changed her major because of her love for anime.

She never imagined that Song Hao could turn poetry, the Tang Dynasty, Li Bai, and so on into animation.

They were so moved that tears streamed down their faces.

Poetry is a unique form of romance for the Chinese people!

A kind of romance that only Chinese people can understand!!!

That evening, these employees all posted on their WeChat Moments.

They're all using the same phrase.

After reading Director Song's latest script, I suddenly realized that no text in our Chinese textbooks is merely filler. We were just too busy rushing to catch up with the times to appreciate the spirit of the ancients. While reading, we might have thought they were just rough hemp ropes binding us, but looking back, we see they are all shimmering silk ribbons.

These screenshots of WeChat Moments were also posted online.

Now, some curious netizens are starting to wonder what kind of animated film Song Hao will be making.

at the same time.

Director Chung, who had previously won a Golden Horse Award, was dismissive of Song Hao's film upon its release.

"Isn't it just imitating my subject matter? It's nothing special." He waved his hand calmly and said, "It proves that I am the pioneer in the history of Chinese cinema. Besides, if he makes a movie about firefighters, it might flop. How much would it gross? I'd laugh if you told me."

Old Chen, who was standing nearby, searched online and replied, "It's already grossed 8.2 million in five days."

"what?!"

Director Zhong's eyes widened.
