Chapter 159 "Parents' Love" Filming Begins! Nobody's optimistic!? (Third update, please subscribe)
Song Hao's Weibo post clearly tells everyone this.

He will give Jenny Brown a good slap in the face.

Everyone was very much looking forward to it.

"I knew you were the most courageous director in China."

"I believe in you, Director Song, keep it up!"

"Damn it, who is this Jenny Brown? He's so arrogant, I don't even know him."

"Anyway, I believe your work will definitely go abroad and let more people see your abilities."

"If the Chinese national football team can't even compete internationally, does that mean Chinese film and television can't either?! What a joke!"

However, some people are not optimistic about Song Hao's next work.

Because my next project is a romance-themed TV series.

These days, aside from some young girls who like to watch handsome male leads.

They looked at the male protagonists and automatically replaced the female protagonists with their own appearance.

Imagine yourself in a romantic relationship.

As for the plot and such.

Who cares?

Besides them, who else would watch this kind of content?
Therefore, netizens are placing their hopes on future film and television works.

As for the next romance-themed TV series, I don't have high hopes for it.

Some netizens even used the topic of romantic dramas to criticize the current state of young people.

"Actually, once you've had something, it's not that big of a deal. After you've been in a relationship once, you'll find that women are really annoying and troublesome. You just want to spend your time on your hobbies, unless your hobby is sex."

"Why don't guys pursue girls anymore? Let me tell you, it's because when guys are super nice to girls, they want girls to treat them the same way, not for girls to think they're awesome."

"Dating is tiring."

"With such high dowries, exorbitant housing prices, and fierce competition in education, why would I get married?"

"I haven't even figured out my own life, so I shouldn't be causing trouble for others."

"Perhaps my only need in marriage is sex."

This has indirectly escalated the already sensitive topic.

For the next few days...

Two topics inexplicably appeared on the trending topics list.

#Why don't you want to be in a relationship?#
#Why are people unwilling to get married?#
Many young people are discussing these two topics.

Some people even argued about it.

"Stop arguing. Your province has the most expensive bride price. My ex-girlfriend told me she wanted hundreds of thousands, which scared me to death. I couldn't earn that much even if I sold myself."

"Fortunately, it only costs a few tens of thousands here in Guangdong and Guangxi. It's better here."

"It's better to find a wife from Guangdong and Guangxi, especially from the Chaoshan region, where they are the virtuous and loving wife type."

"Don't even think about it, people from the Chaoshan region don't marry out of the area."

"Why bother finding a wife? Aren't two-dimensional characters better? Why do you have to find a wife?"

"If you have money, you'll have a partner, and different types of partners at that, so brothers, let's work hard to make money."

It seems like no one in this society believes in love anymore.

This gave Director Qin an increasingly troublesome headache.

So he immediately finished reading the script for "Parents' Love".

He was deeply moved after reading it.

I also experienced that era myself, and my story is similar to many of the stories in the script.

Not only myself, but also the people around me.

Back then, once two people fell in love, they vowed to spend their lives together.

The situation is very different from what it is now.

However, Director Qin couldn't guarantee whether the audience would accept the show after it was released.

After all, this is a period drama.

Do young people today like period dramas?

There's always a kind of photo that's taken to remind parents of their memories.

Therefore, Director Qin also hesitated.

But he later figured it out.

Today's young people have diverse ideas.

Let alone period dramas, some people even enjoy traditional Chinese culture, such as Peking Opera and traditional opera singing.

So Director Qin decided to give it a try.

He then dialed Song Hao's number.

"Hey, Xiao Song."

"Director Qin, please speak."

Director Qin then said, "Hey, are you sure young people will like this period drama?"

"I'm confident," Song Hao replied firmly.

Hearing Song Hao's confidence, Director Qin thought for a moment and said, "Alright, then let's get this TV series ready. I'll apply for funding. I don't know much about making TV series, so it should be left to professionals. The only thing I can do is give you funding to reduce costs."

"Thank you very much, Director Qin," Song Hao said gratefully.

that's it.

Song Hao began preparations for the filming of "Parents' Love".

This time, he had to film it himself.

at the same time.

The first season of "Those Years, Those Rabbits, Those Things" has ended.

Many viewers felt they wanted more after watching it.

It even received a high score of 9.7 on Douban.

It's fair to say that the remaining 0.3 points were almost entirely given by people with ulterior motives.

Almost everyone who has watched this anime gives it a good review.

They flocked to the official Weibo account of "Those Years, Those Rabbits, Those Things".

When will season two air?

"Please release season two soon."

"I already know you've finished producing the second season, right? The first season aired, the second season is in preparation, the third season is in production, and the fourth season is in planning."

"Guys, I want to see more rabbits!"

"I want to see our China become the most awesome country again."

Meanwhile, the official account of "Those Years, Those Rabbits, Those Things" also explained things to everyone at this time.

The second season of "Those Years, Those Rabbits, Those Things" is currently in production and is expected to be released soon!

Due to the success of the first season, it attracted many video platforms that wanted to seek cooperation.

Including XunTeng Video, which had previously sought exclusive licensing, they also want a piece of the pie this time.

However, Song Hao directly rejected them.

They initially wanted to have an exclusive meal and had many requirements.

Now that the first season has received such good reviews, they're seeking collaboration.

Song Hao firmly disagrees with such video platforms.

He still chose the same two video platforms as before.

For no other reason than the agreement we had agreed upon.

Subsequently, he also searched for suitable actor roles based on the script of "Parents' Love".

Before casting, Wang Chuanjun and others learned that he was going to film a romance-themed TV series.

She was also the first to proactively approach Song Hao, wanting to play a role in the show.

Song Hao had originally considered this as well.

After all, it's an unwritten rule in the entertainment industry to use familiar actors rather than new ones.

But when I think of Wang Chuanjun and others, they have always been active on screen as young actors.

If we were to film a period romance drama at this time...

The audience might find it jarring.

Therefore, Song Hao also made his decision.

Just like back then. Not following the path of becoming a traffic star.

The actors should be chosen to fit the historical context and the characters of that time.

Therefore, he sought out Guo Tao.

Guo Tao was very surprised when he learned that Song Hao wanted to cast him in a TV series.

You should know that Song Hao is now a very famous director.

Basically, if they wanted to, they could use almost any actor in the entertainment industry.

No one would refuse to act in his play.

He is no longer the junior director he was two and a half years ago; his identity is completely different now.

In addition, the TV series he is about to film is based on a love story.

Want to be the male lead?
Guo Tao even thought he had misheard.

It wasn't until Song Hao explained to him, "This is a period drama, mainly set in that special era, so if we find some young actors, they can't portray that sense of the era."

After hearing what Song Hao said, Guo Tao finally realized what was going on.

He immediately chuckled and said, "Sure, at my age, it's definitely not going to work out for me to play a young heartthrob, but I can definitely do it if I'm playing a character in a period drama."

After Guo Tao verbally agreed, Song Hao then approached Mei Tingting.

Mei Tingting was born in the mid-75s.

Graduated from drama school.

After graduation, I officially joined the front-line song and dance troupe, where I danced classical dance.

She made her television debut in 94 with the series "Bloody Childhood".

She later won the Audience's Favorite Actress Award at the 21st China TV Golden Eagle Awards for her role in the family drama "Let Love Come Again".

It can be said that Mei Tingting specializes in television drama roles.

So when Song Hao invited her to be the female lead in the TV series "Parents' Love", she immediately accepted.

They didn't even read the script.

In her own words, she said: "Director Song, I know your movies and TV series, as well as your animation 'Those Years, Those Rabbits, Those Things'. I've watched every single one of your works, and the quality is absolutely top-notch. I can agree to your request directly without having to read the script first."

"Okay, I like Teacher Mei's straightforward personality." Song Hao said happily.

at the same time.

As the soul of the supporting female character in the TV series.

That is, the role of Jiang Dehua, the sister-in-law.

Song Hao brought Liu Lin over.

When Liu Lin heard about the role, he showed great interest and immediately wanted to come to the company to see the script.

So two days later.

All the main actors came to Guoteng Media.

When everyone arrived at the meeting room, they realized that they were all old acquaintances.

"Oh, Tingting, you're here too."

"Director Song invited you too?"

"It must have been several years since we last saw each other."

Guo Tao chuckled, "So our entire production team will be made up of older actors!"

Song Hao then explained to everyone: "Because our drama is a period drama, although makeup can be used now and young actors can also create that sense of the era, I still feel that only those who have experienced the 70s and 80s can have a greater resonance with the story in the script."

"And as everyone knows, I never take the so-called path of a traffic star. In my eyes, you are the biggest stars, and you are all the veteran actors with the most strength that I recognize."

Everyone was very happy after hearing what Song Hao said.

The main reason was Song Hao's invitation, which made everyone feel flattered.

After all, there are so many talented and good-looking actors in the entertainment industry now. In order to cater to the market and the audience, many directors keep putting more scenes of popular actors in their dramas.

These veteran actors have also had fewer opportunities to participate in productions.

Now, Song Hao has made a special invitation to them.

Judging from their actions, they already attach great importance to it.

Therefore, they have no reason to refuse this request.

Song Hao handed out scripts to each of them one by one, and then said to them, "I have already assigned all the roles for everyone. The scripts you have now are all about your own characters."

"Everyone can take a look."

These veteran actors also immediately began reading attentively.

Song Hao wasn't in a hurry.

In half a day, let them savor the story.

During this time, both Mei Tingting and Liu Lin's eyes welled up with tears.

Clearly, they were moved by the story.

As Guo Tao watched, he sighed, "Those days were tough, but looking back, they were also wonderful."

After everyone had finished reading the script, Guo Tao immediately said, "Director Song, you have to save this male lead's role for me. Nobody can take it from me."

Mei Tingting quickly added, "Director Song, me too."

"You two have such great roles, but I, your poor sister-in-law, have to help you take care of your kids every day," Liu Lin said, both amused and exasperated.

In this drama, her main role is helping her brother and sister-in-law take care of their child.

To portray the wisdom and down-to-earth image of a working woman.

His performance in the drama is relatable, down-to-earth, capable, and also straightforward and funny.

Although he was a supporting character, he was definitely the highlight of the entire series.

Seeing that they were all happy, Song Hao said, "Okay, let's settle on that. Then we'll go back and study the script again. The pre-production work is underway, and I'll have the staff remind everyone of the specific start date."

"Then let's wait for Director Song's good news."

"I will definitely memorize this script perfectly when I get back."

"Don't worry, Director Song."

Facing these veteran actors, Song Hao had no worries about their professionalism.

He then instructed his company staff to begin preparations for the filming of the TV series.

After some time has passed.

Song Hao led the crew to the filming location, said a few words, and then a salute was fired.

The filming of "Our Parents' Love" has officially begun!

The group photo of the film crew was also posted online.

This sparked a heated discussion among everyone.

They didn't expect that Song Hao was already preparing to film a romance-themed TV series.

"My goodness, Director Song, are you really filming this?"

"Stop filming, I really don't want to watch romance dramas."

"It seems to be a period drama, like 'Our Parents' Love'."

"Oh no, this time the target audience should be my parents."

"Forget it, I won't watch it."

"I wouldn't have said anything if it were a movie or TV series about the younger generation, but they made a period drama instead."

What's so good about period dramas?

Prior to this, whenever Song Hao produced a work, whether it was a movie, a TV series, or even an animation.

Most people are looking forward to it.

But this time, the younger fan base really doesn't dare to have any expectations.

After all, period dramas from the older generation are just too distant for young people like us who were born in the 90s, 95s, or even 00s.

For a time, many people were not optimistic about the filming of "Parents' Love".

But Song Hao remained calm.

Because he knows.

This drama will definitely allow people of all ages to truly feel that pure and simple love.

Let everyone know what true love really is.
