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

Chapter 130 [Please Subscribe!] Awarded at the China Film Festival!

When Song Hao mentioned the opportunity to promote his work in Luoyang, netizens stopped arguing.

Especially netizens in Luojing are urging them to come and make a movie about Luojing.

"You know, among the four provinces, Luoyang has always been the least favored by either the father or the mother. All the good things are given to Old Zheng's place. Even though our Luoyang is the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties, it has always kept a low profile."

"That's right. In terms of historical fame, Luoyang and Kaifeng are far more famous than the provincial capital. For more than 1000 years from the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, the capital of the Central Plains dynasties basically alternated between Luoyang and Chang'an."

"Please, Director Song, think of a way to make Luojing a hit."

At this time, many netizens also tagged Luojing Culture and Tourism.

I hope they will contact Song Hao as soon as possible.

Director Deng of the Luoyang Culture and Tourism Bureau also heard about this.

Actually, when "The Longest Day in Chang'an" first became popular, some subordinates were dissatisfied with the movie, saying that although the meeting place of Li Bai and Du Fu was clearly Luoyang, it was implied to be Chang'an.

It's just ridiculous.

But Director Deng was also a well-read person, and she comforted her subordinates, saying, "It doesn't matter, as long as everyone learns about history and truly understands the stories of the Tang Dynasty, they will naturally understand that this movie is a good movie that carries on our Chinese civilization."

She then replied online: "The Tang Dynasty's golden age is the ideal in the hearts of all Chinese people. As long as everyone tries to understand it, whether in Chang'an or Luoyang, they can feel the Chinese civilization of that time."

Seeing Director Deng's magnanimous reply, Song Hao realized that he had taken the initiative to get to know Director Deng through his connections with Director Ou of Chang'an Culture and Tourism.

"Director Deng, hello."

Song Hao addressed him on the other end of the phone.

Director Deng smiled and said, "Hello, Director Song!"

"I'm truly sorry that the controversy between you and Luo Jing online has arisen because of the movie 'Chang'an 30,000 Miles'," Song Hao apologized.

"It's alright. Actually, from this perspective, it's a good thing, since we're all trying to preserve traditional culture," Director Deng explained.

Song Hao then suggested, "How about this, I'll have my team go to Luojing and shoot a promotional video for you. We can take advantage of this opportunity to bring Luojing into the spotlight of netizens."

"Sure," Director Deng said happily. "When you come, I'll take you to see all the major attractions in Luoyang."

that's it.

Song Hao took his photography team to Luoyang.

To make a promotional film specifically for Luoyang would be extremely difficult.

After all, the China Film Festival is about to open, and even if he were more capable, he wouldn't be able to do it.

I really can't get away.

But shooting a short video is still possible.

Song Hao has already figured out a way to make Luo Jing quickly gain wider recognition.

During this time.

The box office of "The Longest Day in Chang'an" continues to rise.

It was only in theaters for a week.

It has already grossed 10 billion at the box office!

It's really scary.

Just as everyone was congratulating and encouraging Song Hao, Luoyang Culture and Tourism Bureau released a promotional video with the caption: "[Let the Director of Luoyang Culture and Tourism Bureau take you into the ancient capital! ~]"

When the promotional video was first released, it didn't attract much attention from netizens.

Ten minutes later, both Song Hao and the official account of Guoteng Media posted this video.

Then everyone realized something.

That is, Song Hao actually went to film a promotional video for Luo Jing.

In the video, the director of the Luoyang Culture and Tourism Bureau is dressed in Tang Dynasty attire, and with her demeanor, she looks like a princess from a thousand years ago.

Director Deng gestured, showing the tourist attractions behind him.

"This is the Longmen Grottoes."

"This is the White Horse Temple."

"This is our Luoyang Museum."

"This is the very famous Lao Jun Mountain."

"This is the Mingtang Hall of Luoyang."

Director Deng of the Culture and Tourism Bureau, dressed in ancient costume, used the artistic conception of these scenic spots to make the whole video feel like an immersive experience.

This novel way of introducing tourism is something many netizens are seeing for the first time.

"My goodness, I never knew that leaders of the Culture and Tourism Bureau could be so down-to-earth!"

"Haha, I really love it."

"Now I'm thinking of going to Luoyang to take a look."

"After I finish my trip to Chang'an, I will go to Luoyang."

"That's a good leader. He takes personal responsibility for promoting tourism in his area."

"Our leader is so adorable."

It was this down-to-earth and approachable tourism introduction that made Luojing a trending topic.

#LuoyangPromotion#
Meanwhile, the search volume for Luojing as a tourist city has also increased significantly.

They even advanced directly towards Chang'an.

This has opened up a new way of promotion.

Local cultural and tourism bureau directors were also "forced to work".

They incorporated local customs and traditions to come up with suitable themes.

For example, in cities in Northwest China, the local director of the cultural and tourism bureau rides a horse across the grassland.

In a city in Northeast China, the bureau chief led everyone on a skiing trip in the snow.

As for coastal cities in the south, the allure of the ocean waves was further promoted.

It seemed that everyone was caught up in Song Hao's peculiar way of promoting himself.

It became the subject of much ridicule.

"Hahaha, Director Song has single-handedly kept all the leaders busy."

"I really didn't expect Director Song to be so awesome."

"To be honest, I never thought I could promote it like this before."

"You have to admit that Director Song is a real talent. He knows how to attract traffic and how to get the most attention."

"Don't let this promotional video distract you. Have you noticed that 'The Longest Day in Chang'an' has already grossed over 13 billion yuan?"

Then everyone noticed something: the box office of "The Longest Day in Chang'an" is about to surpass that of Song Hao's "The Flowers of War" from back then.

But people didn't seem very surprised.

It seems like it's a foregone conclusion that "The Longest Day in Chang'an" will surpass 13 billion yuan at the box office.

It's just a matter of time.

Now netizens are more eager to see if "The Longest Day in Chang'an" can surpass "The Bravest" and even reach the box office success of "Dying to Survive".

But Song Hao knew very well what was going on.

The subject matter of "Chang'an Thirty Thousand Miles" is a limitation.

"Dying to Survive" is a subject matter that can be accepted by the entire nation.

It would be extremely difficult to surpass "Dying to Survive".

He estimates that the box office should reach around 25 billion yuan.

Of course, no one can predict the subsequent box office performance.

It might be higher, or it might be slightly lower.

However, the fact that this film meets everyone's expectations and has become an officially recommended film by the Ministry of Education is enough.

Box office revenue is secondary.

As time passed, "The Longest Day in Chang'an" continued to be shown in theaters while also being shortlisted for the China Film Festival. This occurred the day before the festival opened.

Netizens started discussing it.

You should know that the competition for this year's awards is much fiercer.

Many renowned directors and celebrities attended the film festival opening ceremony.

Moreover, the number of movies released this year is one-third more than last year.

But don't know why.

It seems that Song Hao is the only topic of discussion among everyone.

"How many awards do you think Director Song will win?"

"I think it was a pity that we didn't win Best Picture and Best Director last year. We should be able to win them this year."

"Is it possible that Zhang Yimou's 'One Second' will win Best Film again this year? If so, it's absolutely terrible."

"Director Ma's film 'The Old Man of the Cannon' also seems to be competitive; it made a few hundred million at the box office."

"In my opinion, both 'Dying to Survive' and 'Operation Mekong' deserve the Best Film award. I think these two films are the best."

The discussion on the internet is quite lively.

But the final result will have to wait until the film festival opens the next day.

Song Hao has learned his lesson this time.

To avoid being pulled aside for photos and having his popularity boosted while walking the red carpet, he chose to appear with his company's animation team this time.

The animation team from Guoteng Media, as a nominee for Best Animated Feature, was also officially invited by the film festival.

On camera, Song Hao pushed the entire animation team to the center of the frame, while he stood to the side.

This touching gesture made his subordinates very grateful.

After entering the venue, the staff guided Song Hao to his seat.

After Song Hao sat down, he noticed that the names on the seats next to him were listed in order: Chairman Chen Daoming, Teacher Tang Guoqiang, and so on.

That did surprise him somewhat.

Unlike last year, Song Hao was sitting in the first row this time.

You know, last year he could only sit in the fourth row.

Sitting in the front row now is the best proof of her strength and fame.

So saying that I'm sitting in the front row because of my age might be a bit inaccurate.

However, this was arranged by the organizers.

He sat there with a clear conscience.

At this moment, the camera focused on Song Hao.

Viewers watching the live stream also noticed him.

"Director Song is actually sitting in the first row."

“Is it that awesome?”

"Which row were you sitting in last year?"

"It seems to be the fourth row."

"I got a seat right in the front row this year!!"

"Wow, Director Song is amazing."

"His row includes Chairman Chen, Teacher Tang, and others; they've already reached the level of big names."

"It can be said that Director Song is now on par with Directors Zhang, Ma, and Chen."

"Stop talking about those directors, okay? It's disgusting. What else can they do besides making movies with weird viewpoints?"

Song Hao's appearance on the screen significantly increased the number of comments.

The director in charge of film festival shots naturally understands what the audience wants to see.

Therefore, Song Hao would be shown on camera every now and then.

After all, Song Hao has had a tremendous impact on the entertainment industry over the past year.

He alone occupied the top three spots in the history of box office that year.

There's also a currently showing drama called "The Longest Day in Chang'an," which might just sweep the top four spots.

Such phenomenal results are probably unmatched by any other director in the entertainment industry.

While Song Hao sat down to wait, many celebrities came over to congratulate and greet him.

"Well done, kid. You actually dared to make an animated film." Zhang Hanyu walked over and patted him on the shoulder.

"Teacher Zhang, it's mainly about challenging myself," Song Hao said with a smile.

At this moment, Xu Zheng also came over: "Director Song, we suffered a setback at the Golden Horse Awards last time, so this time we have to make a big splash."

"Yes, that's right." Song Hao nodded: "This time we might be able to win some awards."

"It's not just some!" Wang Chuanjun exclaimed excitedly, "We're going to buy it all!"

"Aren't you afraid of getting beaten up by the directors and colleagues around you for saying that?" Zhang Hanyu joked with a smile.

But they all knew in their hearts that the China Film Festival was much fairer and more impartial than the Golden Horse Awards.

At least there won't be any blatant shady dealings.

Therefore, Song Hao's works this year do have a very good chance of winning awards.

really.

With the opening of the film festival.

Some awards are gradually emerging.

"Congratulations to Wang Chuanjun for winning the Best Supporting Actor award at the 36th Cinema for his role as Lü Shouyi in 'Dying to Survive'. Please come to the stage to accept the award."

Wang Chuanjun was very happy to hear the news and immediately went on stage.

He accepted the Best Supporting Actor trophy, picked up the microphone, and said, "I also stood here last year and won Best Supporting Actor. This year I've won again, all thanks to Director Song. He gave me the role in 'Dying to Survive.' Without him, I wouldn't have won this Best Supporting Actor award. Thank you so much."

After Wang Chuanjun finished speaking, he looked in Song Hao's direction and bowed deeply.

The viewers in the live stream were also praised.

"Wang Chuanjun is really grateful to Director Song."

"Yes, if it weren't for him, he probably would have been stuck in those comedic roles for the rest of his life."

"Shouldn't Wang Chuanjun be officially entering the film industry now?"

"Keep it up, you're the best! Aim for Best Actor next year!!"

As the applause subsided, a new presenter took to the stage.

Looking at the award card, they said, "The winner of the 36th Best Supporting Actress Award is Tan Nao from 'The Bravest.' Please welcome Ms. Tan Nao to the stage to accept the award."

Teacher Tan Nao was clearly somewhat surprised.

She never expected that she would win the Best Supporting Actress award.

However, the review described him as follows: "As a firefighter's wife and a mother, her worry and maternal strength when her husband went to the front lines of a fire filled the entire film with family love. Teacher Tan Nao silently supports the firefighting cause with her love."

When Teacher Tan Nao went on stage, her eyes welled up with tears.

Holding the trophy, she bowed deeply and said, "There are many people I want to thank, but I want to thank Director Song the most. If he hadn't chosen me from among so many actresses, I wouldn't be standing on this stage. Thank you."

Upon hearing this, Song Hao also applauded.

Following this was a series of dance performances, which brought the awards ceremony to a close.

Following that are awards for low-budget feature films, awards for best new director, and so on.

These awards are all intended to encourage rising stars.

Just as netizens were getting a little bored, the award presenter read out:
"The winner of the 36th Best Animated Feature Film Award is 'The Longest Day in Chang'an'!!!!"
