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

Chapter 174 Zhang Yi and Zhang Songwen team up for "Raging Storm"?! Premiering! (Please subscribe)

The fact that Song Hao has finished filming "Ip Man" is already known to netizens online.

This time, it's not a film co-produced by any official department.

However, the presidents of several associations, including the Wushu Association, have all released promotional videos for this movie.

Not only that, but the official accounts of other martial arts schools also reposted it.

In the past, these martial arts schools were all at odds with each other.

Chinese martial arts have many different styles.

In the early days, martial arts were often divided into two schools: the Southern School and the Northern School, or the Internal School and the External School.

Internal martial arts are represented by three schools: Tai Chi, Xingyi, and Bagua.

The external schools are collectively known as Shaolin, which are divided into two major schools: the North and the South.

There are five main schools of thought.

These five major schools—Kongtong, Wudang, Shaolin, Emei, and Kunlun—and their various branches, also support Song Hao's new film.

This time, for the first time, they were so united.

During this time, something happened abroad.

After finishing his drink, a foreigner provoked an international student.

At first, the international student was willing to tolerate it, but seeing his aggressive behavior and even the fact that he hit her, she became worried.

Tolerable or unbearable.

So the young man fought back.

He happened to have spent two years at the Shaolin Temple when he was young, so he had some basic skills.

He felt no fear whatsoever when facing a burly man a head taller than himself.

With a single roundhouse kick and a left hook, he knocked the burly man to the ground.

This incident was filmed and posted online.

Netizens who knew the background also cheered.

Foreign netizens also believed that the strong man took advantage of his physical strength to bully others and deserved to be beaten.

They were all amazed that the seemingly frail young Chinese man could defeat such a tall and strong opponent.

The international student's friend also replied to this post: "He used to study at the Shaolin Temple."

Foreign netizens are naturally familiar with the Shaolin Temple.

That was a magical place in the East.

There are many eminent monks there, and they are all very powerful.

For a time, whether modern combat sports could defeat Chinese martial arts seemed to become a hot topic.

Tom, a Taekwondo athlete who has been in the spotlight, once again joked: "I really can't imagine a 1.9-meter-tall strong man being beaten down by a 1.7-meter-tall skinny guy. If I were in his shoes, the other guy would probably be down by now."

Such jokes are quite silly.

But it must be said that there are really not many useful cells left in my brain.

He also claimed that he never believed in any traditional martial arts, and in his opinion, Taekwondo was the most powerful.

This further angered netizens.

They hope that Song Hao's movie "Ip Man" will be released soon, so that it can give them a good slap in the face.

But Song Hao knew.

Even after their own movie has been released.

It also cannot change some people's thoughts and perceptions.

Only when he has seen and experienced it firsthand can he change his mind.

He made this film, "Ip Man," simply hoping that everyone could learn from the film the tenacious and low-key spirit of traditional kung fu.

It's not that we shouldn't compete with others, but rather that we shouldn't compete blindly.

You need to understand what you want, instead of just following the crowd.

Only when everyone possesses this martial arts spirit can the entire nation continue to prosper.

The post-production editing of "Ip Man" was not complicated because Song Hao had already handled various shot segments during filming.

Therefore, Song Hao didn't need to put too much effort into post-production.

He devoted more of his time to the TV series "Raging Storm".

This drama is very long.

It's similar to "In the Name of the People".

It's already July, so if we're going to start preparing for the shoot...

I'll have to spend the rest of the second half of the year watching this show.

Therefore, Song Hao had to hurry up and make arrangements.

Soon, the final cut of "Ip Man" was completed.

This time, Song Hao didn't need to submit it to any official department for preliminary review.

He directly had it submitted to the Broadcasting Bureau for review.

He believed that the Broadcasting Bureau would definitely approve it.

After all, this film is much less explicit than his previous works.

There is no reason why it cannot pass the review.

He then instructed the publicity department to begin arranging the roadshow.

Hazelnut Dan and others also worked very hard.

When they go to a city for a roadshow, they will make a few moves at the promotional event.

The audience members also shared their thoughts during the preview screening.

One of the audience's comments was...

"The fight scenes were indeed exciting, and the plot was also able to grab the audience's attention, but what I want to say is that next time Ip Man fights, you should eat a full meal first."

The whole room burst into laughter at these words.

But in fact, this is also the ingenuity of Song Hao's design.

General Sanpu told him to eat before fighting, but Ip Man, with his proud spirit, did not choose to eat.

He does not need charity from his enemies.

Some viewers also expressed different opinions: "Compared to the hard-hitting fight scenes, I prefer the chivalrous and tender side. After watching the movie, what impressed me the most was the daily life of Ip Man and his wife. It was so sweet."

"It was quite exciting to watch. It was the first time I felt that Donnie Yen had a scholarly air about him. The fight scenes were quite exciting, and all the martial arts actors were very dedicated. Lam Ka-tung acted well, and I felt sorry for him!"

After saying that, he gave Lin Jiadong a thumbs up.

Lin Jiadong was somewhat flattered.

His character in this play is somewhat disliked.

Because of his personality, he became an accomplice of the enemy.

But in the end, when the enemy fired at Ip Man, Li Zhao, played by Lam Ka-tung, fought back, seized the gun, and killed the adjutant, thus avenging his master.

Before the end of the promotional tour, one audience member remarked with great approval: "I think the plot twists and turns in this drama are very reasonable and natural. What surprised me most were the supporting actors. Jin Shan Zhao, Li Zhao, Sha Dan Yuan and his brother, and Zhou Qing Quan all had very well-developed characters, and the causes and consequences were explained through details. The screenwriter's skill is amazing! The fusion of national hatred and family feuds is also very immersive, and the emotional build-up is also very good."

This audience member also successfully took photos with each of the main actors.

This can be considered a small gesture to give back to the fans.

Due to the crew's vigorous promotion during the roadshow.

It won the favor of fans.

Therefore, everyone online is full of praise for it.

Many have said that this is the best martial arts film in recent years.

It can not only promote traditional kung fu, but also enhance national self-confidence.

This has made netizens who didn't attend the roadshow even more curious, and they've all been asking Song Hao when the film will be released.

Song Hao gave his answer at this time.

[Ip Man Release Date: Summer Holiday! Officially Released on July 26th!] Now that the release date has been confirmed, everyone is eagerly anticipating it.

However, film critic "Lao Tai Talks Movies," who previously had a negative view of martial arts films, has once again offered his comments.

In the video, he bluntly stated that Song Hao's use of such sentiments of family feuds and national hatred in the film was itself a sign of a lack of confidence in traditional kung fu.

"I really don't understand why Song Hao forced in nationalistic sentiments when filming 'Ip Man.' I even wonder, did he really have to film it this way?"

"No matter what you say, I have no confidence in this movie. If it gets a rating of 7 or higher after its release, I will apologize live on air."

After this video was released.

Many netizens also cursed and complained.

"You're not optimistic now, but if your reputation improves, will you apologize on live stream?"

"So all you did was put on a live stream to apologize, huh?"

"Stop kneeling, okay? It's one thing if others don't appreciate our traditional kung fu, but you, as one of our own, are going to belittle martial arts films?"

"Exactly, anyway, I think it looks really good from the teaser trailer, and I'll definitely support it when it's released."

It seems that netizens are mainly criticizing his rebellious nature.

The more others say something is ugly or trashy, the more you want to try it out.

Time passes day by day.

While waiting for the film's release, Song Hao is also preparing for the film "Raging Storm".

The previous film, "Operation Red Sea," has finished its run, with a final box office of 38.2 billion yuan.

The overseas box office also reached $863 million.

All data points have broken their own records.

"Operation Red Sea" also made the naval forces very proud.

Many foreign viewers praised China's current strength.

Therefore, Song Hao now has to be meticulous and careful when producing each film and television work.

Ensuring quality and quantity is the most important thing.

After all, the audience he is now targeting is not just Chinese viewers, but the whole world.

As for "Raging Storm," if it airs smoothly, it should also generate a lot of buzz.

Who could resist the love-hate relationship between An Xin and Gao Qiqiang?
After finishing the script, Song Hao first sent the remaining half to Director Pang of the Anti-Corruption Bureau.

After reading it, Director Pang was very satisfied with the ending of "The Storm".

This kind of subject matter definitely shouldn't allow bad guys to get away with it.

They must be brought to justice.

This aligns with the values ​​being exported.

Therefore, the fates of Gao Qiqiang, Tang Xiaolong, Tang Xiaohu, and others also meet the requirements of the review.

The script for "Raging Storm" was also sent to higher authorities by Director Pang.

He told Song Hao, "Once it passes the approval of the higher-ups, we can start filming. There shouldn't be any major problems. You can start preparing the actors now."

"Ok."

Song Hao nodded.

Director Pang became curious: "Who are you planning to cast for the role of An Xin?"

Song Hao countered, "Has Director Pang watched 'Operation Red Sea'?"

"Of course, I've already watched it three times." Director Pang explained, "This is the third time we've organized a viewing of this play."

"What do you think of the actor who plays Captain Yang Rui?"

Director Pang immediately said, "I think he's very good. He has a strong sense of justice. What's his name?"

“His name is Zhang Yi, and I plan to have him play the role of An Xin.”

"That's great!" Director Pang chuckled. "You should talk to them about it."

"it is good."

Zhang Yi and Song Hao formed a deep friendship while filming their previous movie, "Operation Red Sea".

So when Zhang Yi learned that Song Hao wanted to invite him to film an anti-corruption drama, he immediately came to the company to meet him.

Song Hao handed him the script.

Zhang Yi read the contents and liked them very much.

He then asked, "Am I playing Gao Qiqiang?"

“Gao Qiqiang’s initial role was a bit dull, and I thought of an actor who would be more suitable for the role, so I wanted you to play the role of An Xin.”

Song Hao tentatively asked, "Is this role okay?"

Zhang Yi replied, "No problem, I'll film any of your shows."

Song Hao laughed too: "That's fine then."

In fact, in the original script of "The Storm," Zhang Yi had very few scenes in the later parts.

It's basically all about Gao Qiqiang's family.

Therefore, Song Hao also made changes.

This allowed Zhang Yi to maintain a high frequency of camera presence.

It won't end up being invisible in the queue.

This was also one of the reasons why "Raging Storm" was criticized back then.

The main character's role in the end is even less significant than that of the villainous supporting character.

This is the change.

Then such problems will not occur.

Song Hao did his best to make the drama "Raging Storm" more perfect.

He then sought out teacher Zhang Songwen.

When Zhang Songwen learned that Song Hao wanted to invite him to play a villainous role, he was quite happy.

After reading the script, he first offered some of his own ideas.

Song Hao answered them one by one.

After confirming that there were no problems, the two reached a preliminary agreement on cooperation.

Song Hao had no worries whatsoever about the actor Zhang Songwen.

Although audiences in the Lingnan region may have been more familiar with him before this.

It was also because he starred in a Cantonese drama called "The Dragon Son-in-Law" back then.

The father-in-law he portrayed was both lovable and cunning, making him a favorite among viewers.

However, this only applies to the Lingnan region.

Song Hao believes that if this drama is successfully broadcast...

Zhang Songwen's acting skills will surely leave a deep impression on audiences across the country.

His scenes with Zhang Yi will definitely go viral online.

Subsequently, he approached Su Xiaoding, intending to have him play Gao Qisheng.

All the main actors have been found.

They were also very interested in the show and agreed to work together without saying much.

Song Hao is also actively preparing.

at the same time.

Ip Man is about to be released!
