Chapter 178 The Geological Bureau's Movie Invitation (Seeking Monthly Tickets!!)
"Hey, Xiao Song, are you filming right now?" Director Long said to the person on the other end of the phone after the call was connected.

Song Hao was watching the monitor at the moment. He was a little surprised by the call from Director Long. He never expected that the call would come so soon.

Are they going to invite me now?
Song Hao replied, "Director Long is still filming. What's wrong?"

"So you're filming." Director Long looked at Director Tang and blinked. "Oh, that's alright. I was thinking that since Director Tang from the Geological Bureau was here too, I wanted to chat with you. But since you're busy, you go ahead and do your work."

Upon hearing this, Director Tang was clearly disappointed and sighed.

Director Long then pretended to say, "Hey, Lao Tang, don't sigh. We'll make an appointment with you again in a couple of days when Xiao Song is free."

At this moment, Director Long did not hang up the phone.

Song Hao overheard this on the other end of the phone, and he knew that Director Long was deliberately telling him to hear.

So he quickly said, "It's okay, I'm done here. If Director Tang can wait for me a little while, I can get there from the film studio in about 40 minutes."

"Sure, I'll have Director Tang wait for you. Hurry up and come over." Director Long said and then hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, he looked smugly at Director Tang: "How about it, Lao Tang, you'll have to owe him this favor."

Director Tang laughed: "I'll definitely owe you that. I'll bring some tea leaves that my dad grows himself another day and brew you a pot."

"Hey, that's more like it." Director Long was very pleased.

Of course, the main reason for this joy was that Song Hao had agreed.

This is enough to prove how important one's face is.

No matter the time, everyone loves to save face.

Soon, the agreed 40 minutes had passed.

Just then, there was a knock on the office door.

Director Long immediately responded, "Go in."

Song Hao pushed open the door and greeted Long Ju, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, "Long Ju."

"Xiao Song, I haven't seen you for half a year, you've gotten so tanned!" Director Long asked with concern.

Song Hao said with a wry smile, "When we were filming 'Operation Red Sea,' I got too much sun exposure, and now, almost half a year later, I still haven't recovered."

"Didn't you put on sunscreen back then? Look at you, you don't even have a girlfriend. If you did, she might have helped you put on sunscreen." Director Long chuckled.

He then brought Song Hao to Director Tang: "Come, let me introduce you. This is Director Tang from the Geological Bureau."

"Old Tang, this is Song Hao, Director Song."

"Director Tang, hello." Song Hao greeted him respectfully.

The man in front of me, Director Tang, is not tall and has a bit of a belly. If he weren't standing next to Director Long, he would just look like an ordinary middle-aged man on the street.

Director Tang smiled and nodded, saying, "Hello, Director Song."

"Director Tang, I heard from Director Long that you wanted to see me. Is there something important?" Song Hao asked tentatively.

Director Long also said, "You two have a good chat. I'm going to check if those guys outside have been working seriously."

After saying that, he left the office.

Only Song Hao and Director Tang remained in the office.

Director Tang from the Geological Bureau first asked a few words of concern: "Xiao Song, you're still filming today, right?"

“Yes,” Song Hao replied, “We’re currently filming an anti-corruption drama.”

"Not bad, not bad. I really enjoyed watching 'In the Name of the People,' which you directed before." Director Tang then got to the point: "It's like this, all the departments are quite wealthy, right? I asked you to make movies, TV series, and even animation."

“Our geological bureau hasn’t had a particularly strong presence in recent years. We’d like to use some methods to get people to pay more attention to natural disasters, protect the environment, start with ourselves, and work together when we encounter difficulties.”

"So I was thinking, how about we collaborate with Director Song on a film?"

Upon hearing this, Song Hao was somewhat surprised: "Director Tang means to make a disaster movie."

"That's roughly the idea." Director Tang nodded: "As you know, over the years, there haven't been many disaster films released on the market. They have a lot of special effects, are difficult to shoot, and the market response hasn't been particularly good. Audiences don't have high expectations either."

"In recent years, we have experienced more frequent geological disasters, and many touching stories have emerged. Of course, the purpose of making this kind of film is twofold: first, to encourage everyone to protect the environment, and second, to encourage everyone to unite and face such geological dangers together."

Upon hearing this, Song Hao understood.

He then asked, "So, what are Director Tang's requirements?"

Director Tang added, "Actually, I know that you are a very talented director and a genius screenwriter. You have written many good works, and I also know that you like to adapt real cases, such as the Mekong River case, the case of 'Dying to Survive,' and 'The Bravest,' etc."

“But I hope this disaster film won’t use our real-life cases,” Director Tang explained. “After all, a disaster film will definitely plunge many families into grief. If we film real events at this time, it may increase their suffering. So I was thinking about whether we could film it in an original way.”

Song Hao also understood Director Tang's requirements.

He nodded: "Okay, I understand, Director Tang. I'll contact you when I have an idea."

"Okay, okay." Director Tang was very pleased to see that Song Hao did not refuse.

Then, Director Long walked in.

Seeing that the two were getting along quite well, he asked, "How's your chat going?"

Director Tang sighed, "You, Director Long, aren't being fair. If I had known that Xiao Song was so outstanding, I would have come to find him long ago."

Director Long laughed: "You old Tang, back when this kid wasn't famous yet, I guessed he would definitely become a great director in the future. I just never thought that even you would ask him to make movies."

Song Hao explained, "After I finish filming the anti-corruption drama, I will start preparing for Director Tang's movie."

"Hey, hey, it's not my movie, it's your movie, but we'll be co-producing it," Director Tang quickly said.

that's it.

The two reached a preliminary agreement.

On his way back to the film studio, Song Hao was also deep in thought.

If you want to make a truly shocking disaster movie.

There probably aren't many options for domestic films.

At most, it's that one movie, "The Great Earthquake".

However, Director Tang has made it clear that real cases cannot be used.

Therefore, Song Hao could only turn his attention overseas.

There are quite a few well-known disaster movies from abroad. Wait a minute.

Song Hao suddenly thought of something.

I'm going to make my own Lunar New Year film.

But now he has taken on Director Tang's task.

Is a disaster movie going to be released during the Lunar New Year holiday?!
Will this work?

Song Hao was caught in a dilemma.

However, he is not specifically looking for suitable movies now.

"The Storm" is still being filmed, and he has to finish filming it as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if the time is delayed, it's possible that subsequent disaster movies won't be able to be scheduled.

Back on set.

Song Hao told everyone to go back and rest.

I, along with the post-production team, reviewed the content filmed during the day.

Since most of the main actors in "The Storm" are veteran actors.

Most of the time, it only takes one take.

This also sped up the filming process considerably.

Sometimes Song Hao even remarked that TV series don't need guns or cannons, making them much easier to film than movies.

This series focuses more on the characters' growth and development.

For example, Gao Qiqiang and Gao Qisheng went from being powerful little mobile phones back then to kneeling down in front of Uncle Tai with a thud.

Uncle Tai even gave him a Platinum Hotel because of this.

These are all examples of the growth of villainous characters.

After her master was killed and Li Xiang ultimately sacrificed himself, An Xin became even more stubborn.

I must personally take down Gao Qiqiang.

Of course, the most popular female character is not Meng Yu, but Gao Qilan and Chen Shuting.

And then there's Xu Jiang, with that line, "All these years in Jinghai, I've spent so much money and supported so many people, all for today's use, haven't I? Do you understand or not!"

After she said it, she received praise from everyone in the crew.

"Jia Bin's acting was absolutely superb."

"Yeah, that's amazing!"

"He's just like a real business tycoon."

"Hahaha, how dare you talk like that?"

During this past month, everyone in the "Raging Storm" crew has been taking it very seriously.

They all wanted to finish filming the series as soon as possible and then edit and broadcast it at top speed.

Meanwhile, the lingering impact of "Ip Man" continues.

More and more foreign netizens are becoming increasingly curious after learning about traditional Chinese Kung Fu.

Suddenly, the number of tourists visiting China increased significantly.

Even the tourism bureau was overjoyed.

Song Hao has also been praised by many people.

"Director Song's films truly resonate across several fields."

"Hahaha, Director Song is awesome."

"By the way, how's Director Song's anti-corruption drama coming along?"

"Forget about anti-corruption dramas, I just want to know what kind of Lunar New Year film he's going to make."

"Yeah, there's already a peak in anti-corruption dramas. You can't expect them to make another peak, so let's not have too high expectations."

It seems that people are not very optimistic about Song Hao's ability to produce a second anti-corruption drama of the same quality.

After all, with such fine jewels and jade before them, ordinary tiles and stones are hard to compare with.

"In the Name of the People" is already excellent enough.

They find it hard to believe that Song Hao can make another TV series that generates buzz.

But at this moment.

Song Hao and Guoteng Media released the teaser trailer for "Raging Storm".

It's a teaser video by Xu Jiang.

At the entrance of the villa, there were thugs dressed in black standing all around.

Xu Jiang came out from inside, holding a golf club.

All the underlings shouted, "Boss, please accept our condolences."

"Talking nonsense is useless; let others grieve in peace."

The next second, Xu Jiangbian, played by Jia Bin, led a group of henchmen and walked aggressively down the road.

This shot was absolutely amazing!

Immediately afterwards, in the next moment of the video, Xu Jiang took a golf club and smashed it down on a middle-aged man.

Netizens were completely stunned when they saw this.

That's ruthless?!
