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

Chapter 177: The Real-Life Inspiration for Gao Qiqiang? Many people probably don't know this! (Please Subscribe)

Director Tang from the Geological Bureau wanted to see him, but Song Hao had no idea why.

But he figured it must be related to movies and TV shows.

However, he is currently overwhelmed with other commitments.

After all, Director Pang from the Anti-Corruption Bureau had already contacted him several times.

The script for "Raging Storm" has now been approved. If it's not filmed soon, Director Pang won't be able to explain it to his superiors.

Therefore, Song Hao is currently focusing on filming "The Storm".

Meanwhile, the box office growth of "Ip Man" has slowed down slightly.

It has also reached a bottleneck in its potential.

Of course this is normal.

No movie's box office trend can continue to rise indefinitely. The audience that wanted to see it has already seen it, and fans who are not interested in martial arts will not be swayed by good online reviews.

Martial arts movies have certain limitations. It's impossible for a young couple to go see a martial arts movie on their anniversary, right?

Therefore, the current box office of "Ip Man" has reached 21.1 billion yuan, which has met Song Hao's expectations.

Not to mention the overseas version, which has already surpassed "Operation Red Sea" in both box office and critical acclaim.

That's quite normal.

After all, it's quite difficult for foreign netizens to change their perception of China's strength through a movie about naval forces.

However, thanks to Bruce Lee's promotion of traditional Chinese kung fu, many people have come to know about it.

Therefore, the movie "Ip Man" is actually more popular overseas.

For a time, learning traditional Chinese kung fu became a hot topic of discussion.

It can be said that the various martial arts schools in China have become popular because of the movie "Ip Man".

Parents in the Lingnan region, at their children's request, have been enrolling them in Wing Chun classes.

Children from the four provinces of China yearn for the Shaolin Temple.

Song Hao's film has allowed more netizens to learn about authentic traditional kung fu.

Of course, Song Hao was not satisfied with this.

at the moment.

He is currently filming "The Storm".

Compared to the original script, this time, as both the screenwriter and director, he had ample rights to make changes.

Although the original script was quite good, it also had many problems.

The first one is An Xin, played by Zhang Yi, who becomes almost invisible in the later stages.

This requires ensuring that An Xin's scenes are the main focus.

Secondly, there's Xu Zhong, played by Wu Gang. He has too many scenes later on, and one scene that's even criticized is when he's holding a bottle of wine and negotiating with Yang Jian at the shipyard.

In this scene, Song Hao changed his negotiating partner from Xu Zhong to An Xin.

The future direction of Meng Dehai also needs to be adjusted.

Since Director Pang of the Anti-Corruption Bureau has already approved it, we should go ahead and film it boldly.

After all, no matter how explicit this drama is, it can't compare to "In the Name of the People".

Moreover, the reviewers all felt there were no problems.

What do I have to be afraid of?

Just take the picture!
The first scene shows Xu Zhong, played by actor Wu Gang, leading his colleagues from the supervision team on a bus to Jinghai.

The entire series begins with a flashback.

It also gives everyone the feeling that the show has cleared away the fog of mystery in the perplexing case.

"Scene One, Act Two! Begin!"

There was a cameraman in this scene; he sat at the front of the bus and filmed the actors from the supervision team.

Inside the bus, Ji Ze, played by Teacher Li, called out to Xu Zhong: "Old Xu, Old Xu."

Xu Zhong put down the documents in his hand and turned to look at him.

Ji Ze joked, "The leader isn't here either. You're the highest-ranking person in this car. Who are you trying to impress with all this hard work?"

Xu Zhongze looked at the document and explained, "Qiangsheng Group is a well-known top company in Jinghai with very complex social connections. If I don't hurry up, you'll embarrass me when we get to Jinghai."

"Trying to catch up at the last minute is probably useless," Old Ji said with a smile.

In the storyline, these two are considered old partners.

Xu Zhong then asked, "It seems you're ready. So tell me, where do you plan to start your work once you get to Jinhai?"

"I think we should ignore Gao Qiqiang for now and leave him out of the picture. Look at this one, let's start with him."

After saying that, Lao Ji handed a document to Xu Zhong: "Start with this person. Vice President Gong Kaijiang had already initiated an investigation into this person before setting off. I have consulted with my superiors and am now informing you of the situation."

This scene was filmed in a short time.

They filmed for only half an hour and got it right in one take.

Teachers Wu Gang and Li Jianyi came to Song Hao's side, looked at the monitor, and then asked, "Director Song, how is it?"

“Teacher Wu, Teacher Li, you are both veteran actors, so naturally you can get it right in one take,” Song Hao said with a smile.

Teacher Li Jianyi joked, "You can't say that. What if we old bones perform poorly? You'd be too embarrassed to say it, right?"

"How could they act badly? You know, in the previous drama, 'In the Name of the People,' the acting skills of these two actors and other actors were unanimously recognized by netizens."

The teacher in front of us, Li Jianyi, played Chief Prosecutor Ji in "In the Name of the People." And teacher Wu Gang played Secretary Dakang.

The two of them also developed a good friendship with Song Hao in their previous film.

They had high hopes for this young man.

He is talented and humble.

This is truly rare.

While we sat down to rest and chat, Zhang Yi also came over. When talking about "In the Name of the People," he said with some regret, "If I had known Director Song back then, I would have made sure he arranged a small role for me no matter what."

Song Hao said with a smile, "If you were to play a minor role, I'm afraid your fans wouldn't let me off the hook."

"Yeah, Zhang Yi, your 'Operation Red Sea' did really well at the box office," Wu Gang joked.

Zhang Yi quickly explained, "Hey, Mr. Wu, please don't say it's my 'Operation Red Sea,' it's Director Song's 'Operation Red Sea.' I acted entirely in cooperation with Director Song. If it weren't for his script and action design, I wouldn't have been able to act."

Li Jianyi laughed and said, "You guys shouldn't be so self-deprecating. You are all the best in the film and television industry now. You should keep working hard and bring more excellent film and television works to the audience. If you don't mind, let me and Teacher Wu Gang play supporting roles to cheer you on."

"Teacher Li, it's already a blessing for us that you can act in this drama," Song Hao said respectfully.

Just then, Zhang Songwen came out after finishing his makeup.

Song Hao then called Teacher Zhang over: "Teacher Zhang, over here."

Zhang Songwen walked over.

This morning, Zhang Songwen already filmed a scene.

The scene where I first met An Xin.

His acting skills have been recognized and praised by many people.

However, Zhang Songwen may have felt that he was not a big enough star, so he kept asking Song Hao how his performance was, and if it wasn't good, then they should start over.

But Song Hao knew his strength.

The reason he hasn't become a big star all these years is because he hasn't encountered the right roles and projects.

Of course, no director would choose a second-tier actor who is already in his thirties as the lead actor.

This time, Song Hao suddenly chose Zhang Songwen to play the villain.

This really startled Zhang Songwen himself.

So in order to play the role of Gao Qiqiang well, he even went to the fish stall every day for a week before filming started to watch how others killed fish.

With such dedication, Song Hao has no reason to worry about not becoming a huge star.

During the casual conversation, the topic of Gao Qiqiang came up.

Before that, each of them had read the entire script.

The villainous character Gao Qiqiang is deeply ingrained in people's minds.

Even Zhang Yi was itching to play the role of Gao Qiqiang. If Song Hao asked him to play the role, he would agree without hesitation.

However, when acting opposite Zhang Songwen, it was indeed found that he was able to portray the early Gao Qiqiang without any trace of acting.

"I never expected that Xiao Song could write such a brilliant script about Gao Qiqiang's growth from a small-time fishmonger to a powerful underworld boss," Zhang Songwen remarked.

Zhang Yi nodded in agreement: "At first, he was An Xin's 'only pure white jasmine flower,' honest and dutiful. When he was bullied, he would only secretly wipe away his tears. Later, he became a fearsome big shot in Jinghai, controlling the largest power in Jinghai in the shadows. One look from him could make people's legs tremble."

Wu Gang then asked curiously, "Your character Gao Qiqiang isn't based on a real person, is he?"

Song Hao simply smiled and then took out another manuscript.

That's when everyone was surprised.

This is actually information about the real-life inspiration for Gao Qiqiang.

Moreover, there is more than one prototype.

Zhang Songwen stared wide-eyed, saying with a wry smile, "Director Song, why didn't you take it out sooner? If you had taken it out earlier, I might have been able to prepare more thoroughly."

"The reason I'm only bringing this out now is because I want Teacher Zhang to first define Gao Qiqiang based on his own ideas, and then get to know the real Gao Qiqiang through this material," Song Hao replied.

Soon, everyone had a copy.

They all watched with curiosity.

One of the main prototypes is Liu Han, who was arrested in 14 and whose net worth was 400 billion yuan at its peak.

Song Hao explained from the side, "Liu Han is much more powerful than Gao Qiqiang. When he was arrested, his gang had a lot of weapons, all kinds of guns and grenades. They had nine lives on their hands, five of which were taken by gunshot."

"But his public image is that of a great philanthropist. He has donated 200 million yuan and opened kindergartens and nursing homes with excellent service. Although he claims to be serving the community, he is actually giving money to the families of those who have helped him."

"In the script, I also wrote about the operation of serving social nursing homes."

Looking at these documents, everyone sighed, "Indeed, novels and movies are based on real life. It's only because the net of justice is wide and its meshes are fine that people like this get caught."

Song Hao also encouraged everyone: "We must also make this film well, so that more people can have more confidence and believe in the country!"

"no problem!"

Meanwhile, Director Tang from the Geological Bureau once again went to the Anti-Drug Bureau and sought out Director Long.

He asked curiously, "Brother Long, when is Director Song free?"

"He's currently filming an anti-corruption drama, and it'll probably be a while before that happens."

"How about we ask him when he's free so I can talk to him first?"

Seeing his anxious look, Director Long finally laughed and said, "Alright, alright, you're afraid someone will snatch it away again, right? I'll arrange a meeting for you right away."

After saying that, Director Long dialed Song Hao's number.
