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

Chapter 181 The Science Fiction Trilogy—! (Seeking monthly votes!)
When everyone learned that "Raging Storm" would be broadcast in a week, they got excited.

They wanted to see just how good this anti-corruption drama would be.

During this week.

Everyone was discussing the drama "Raging Waves" when Song Hao suddenly announced that he was about to start filming.

Netizens were very excited.

Looks like they're making a Lunar New Year film!

"Alright, alright, it's finally time to shoot the Lunar New Year film."

"We've been waiting for so long, it's finally coming."

"Alright, alright, I'd like to see what kind of Lunar New Year film it is."

"I have a feeling that Director Song's Lunar New Year film is going to break the record for the Lunar New Year film season."

While everyone was speculating about what kind of subject Song Hao would be filming, the official team released some general information.

[Song Hao, along with Wu Jing, Ni Ni, and others, is filming the large-scale disaster sci-fi movie "2012"! Filming will begin soon.]

This official announcement was made.

Everyone was stunned.

"Huh? Making a disaster movie?!"

"My God, it's disaster science fiction!"

"No, what was Director Song thinking? He actually made a disaster sci-fi film, and he even wants to put it in the Lunar New Year season."

"Yeah, I don't understand either."

"It's hard to say!"

"Are you going to watch it or not? I certainly don't want to see this kind of subject matter in a Lunar New Year film."

Immediately, netizens began to complain.

They believe that Song Hao is not incapable of making disaster films, but rather that he chose to release them during the Lunar New Year holiday season.

That's absolutely ridiculous.

Unless this movie has something special about it.

They need to release the film during the Lunar New Year holiday season to maximize exposure; otherwise, they really can't think of any reason to choose the Chinese New Year period.

Song Hao proposed releasing a disaster-themed film during the Lunar New Year holiday season.

This has caused a huge uproar online.

Everyone's talking about it.

It just so happened that a host arranged for Song Hao to do a live interview on Douyin.

The show features live video chat throughout, and the host, a well-known figure in the industry, frequently invites celebrities for interviews.

So this time, he also invited Song Hao for a brief interview.

Song Hao also wanted to use this live stream to better answer the questions that netizens had.

eight pm.

Many netizens learned that Song Hao would be doing a live stream with a live host, so they all clicked on Douyin to watch.

They all wanted to get the reason why Song Hao wanted to make a film with this subject matter.

The host, of course, was very knowledgeable. She first greeted everyone in the live broadcast: "Hello everyone, I'm Sisi. Tonight we will be having a live broadcast with top director Song Hao. If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments section. I will selectively ask you questions after I see them."

Immediately afterwards, Li Sisi connected with Song Hao via live stream.

The moment the call connected, Li Sisi greeted him with a warm smile: "Hello, Director Song!"

Song Hao politely replied, "Hello, Sisi."

"I'm so glad we can do a live stream together tonight." Li Sisi got straight to the point: "I heard your new TV series 'Raging Waves' is about to air, right?"

Song Hao replied, "Yes, it will be broadcast in a week."

"Then let's wish our TV series 'Raging Wave' great success in ratings!" Li Sisi said.

Song Hao smiled and said, "I hope so. I hope everyone will give us lots of support."

At that moment, the number of people watching the live stream on both sides instantly reached hundreds of thousands.

This is already a terrifying number for Douyin live streaming.

The number of comments was ridiculously high.

Netizens are all posting about it.

"Director Song, I will support your TV series."

"Yes, I will support it too."

"I really like 'The Storm,' I hope it won't disappoint me."

Of course, many people are also asking about Lunar New Year films.

"What's going on?! Why is a disaster movie being made for the Lunar New Year?"

"Exactly! I'm speechless. Lunar New Year films are supposed to be comedies for everyone to enjoy together, but you go and make a disaster film. What are we going to do about it?"

"Anyway, I'm not going to watch it."

Li Sisi was also good at grasping the key points, so she extended the topic to the Lunar New Year films: "I heard that Director Song is going to make a disaster science fiction movie and then release it during the Lunar New Year season, right?"

Song Hao nodded: "That's right."

"I don't recall ever seeing a disaster sci-fi film released during the Lunar New Year season," Li Sisi said curiously. "I'd like to ask Director Song, what were you thinking at the time? Are disaster films easy to make?"

"Disaster movies are films with intense conflict. When watching them, viewers may overlook many elements that require careful consideration. It's an extreme confrontation, a matter of life and death, a contest of overwhelming power. People are easily drawn to this type of film."

"If the city suffers a virtual catastrophe, it will serve as a wake-up call, reminding everyone to be prepared for potential dangers even in times of peace."

"2012 tells a story of a possibility. It's already 2023, and Earth won't reach its end in 2012, but what about 2032? 2042? Nobody can say for sure. If that happens, what will become of human civilization, and what will happen to the inhabitants of Earth? The film focuses on these themes."

Upon hearing this, the audience suddenly understood.

"Wow, it seems that's really the case."

You never know what tomorrow will bring.

"Perhaps the Earth will cease to exist in the next second."

"Yes, sometimes we are like ants in the face of nature."

The interview is still ongoing.

Li Sisi continued, "Will this movie have a lot of science fiction special effects elements?"

Song Hao replied: "Yes, there are many. Before this, there was no big-budget science fiction film in China. The film I'm going to shoot next, '2012,' will be a pioneer in the field of science fiction."

"This is a science fiction trilogy. The first one is '2012,' and its theme is destruction."

Li Sisi asked curiously, "So, there are a total of three science fiction movies like this?"

Song Hao nodded: "That's right, the theme of the second part is wandering."

"The theme of the third part is hope."

After listening to this.

The audience then understood.

Song Hao seems to be making a big move.

A move that could change the landscape of Chinese science fiction films.

However, some people have raised questions.

"I admit that China has many excellent works, but if you want to make a science fiction work comparable to Hollywood, I think you're dreaming."

"I also think that many people end up with nothing after trying their best. Director Song, how can you be so sure that you can become the number one science fiction writer in China?"

"I think this disaster movie is worth watching. If the first one isn't good, then the next two or three will just be empty promises."

"I'm still looking forward to 'Raging Storm'."

The doubts people have are not without reason.

Because in recent years, China's science fiction film market has been sluggish.

No director or investor is willing to spend time and energy making science fiction films.

Because this way of making money is too slow, and there's no guarantee of success.

Rather than this.

They might as well just stick to making more romantic comedy elements.

As for the grand dream of revitalizing China's science fiction film industry, they certainly wouldn't pursue it.

This has led audiences to lose confidence in Chinese science fiction.

It's truly hard for netizens to believe that Song Hao is going to showcase a different kind of sci-fi special effects through this disaster-themed project.

This interview also revealed Song Hao's upcoming plans to many netizens.

However, they are not very optimistic about the so-called science fiction trilogy.

Some even exclaimed: "China's science fiction market died in its cradle long ago. Even if Song Hao, or even the Heavenly King Song, came, it wouldn't make a difference."

But Song Hao remained unconcerned.

To quote Gao Qiqiang from the drama.

The louder the waves, the more expensive the fish.

He wants to break through the audience's perception of the impossible and let everyone understand that as long as you want to do it, there is nothing you can't do.

Subsequently, filming officially began for China's first large-scale disaster film, "2012".

Meanwhile, "Raging Waves" officially premiered during prime time.

As early as the afternoon before the broadcast.

Some young people who were slacking off at work started talking about this topic. Several colleagues from the R&D team of a company called Communication Technology also joined in the conversation.

"There's a new TV series called 'Raging Waves' airing tonight, are you watching it?"

"Look, you have to look!"

"I think it should be quite exciting."

Just then, another colleague walked over. Listening to their discussion, he asked curiously, "What is 'Storm'?"

"You don't know about 'Raging Storm'? It's a new TV series. Do you know Song Hao? He's the director of 'In the Name of the People,' which you really liked before. He directed this 'Raging Storm.'"

"He's filming another anti-corruption drama?"

"Yes, so let's go home early tonight to watch TV."

Just as everyone was waiting to leave work, the supervisor came over and said, "The R&D team has a meeting today, so everyone get ready."

These words immediately drew dissatisfaction from the research and development team and others.

They complained privately, "Ugh, I'm fed up. Why another meeting? I was looking forward to watching my show tonight."

"me too."

"Is he really sick?"

Just then, a colleague from the R&D team was about to complain about the company's overtime work.

As a result, I accidentally sent the text to the work group.

Oh my god, I have to work overtime? I was thinking of going back to watch "The Storm".

After she sent it, her colleagues immediately reminded her that she had sent it to the wrong group.

So the female colleague hurriedly and hastily retreated.

The manager happened to see this message.

He was taken aback for a moment, then remembered that his wife had also asked him to go home early that evening, saying they wanted to watch a new TV series together.

The name of this TV series seems to be "Raging Storm".

So he sent his supervisor a message: "[Let's cancel the meeting today, we'll have it tomorrow morning.]"

The supervisor immediately relayed the message.

Everyone was overjoyed, thinking that the female colleague who sent the message to the wrong group had unintentionally saved them.

eight pm.

The time is just right.

Many people were sitting in front of the television.

Some people went to the computer desk.

Waiting for the broadcast of "Raging Storm".

Although some people believe that once you've seen "In the Name of the People," there's no need to watch it again.

However, many viewers still hope that Song Hao will bring them a different storyline.

The moment the broadcast started.

The number of comments on the screen was overwhelming.

"I'm coming!"

"Come here because of its reputation!"

"Charge at full speed!!"

"I heard that Zhang Yi and Zhang Songwen are a great couple."

"You fujoshi, get lost."

Soon, everyone was immersed in the story.

On TV.

A group of supervisory personnel went to the city for inspection.

The people in the city were also very nervous.

Because they all knew why the supervisory team had come this time.

When everyone saw Wu Gang playing Supervisor Xu Zhong, they all started making fun of him.

"Haha, Secretary Dakang, we meet again!!"

"That's right, Secretary Dakang!!"

"Secretary Dakang, let's play the main character this time."

"I don't know."

With the emergence of the first target, the waters of this city called Jinghai are getting deeper and deeper.

The supervisory team also found a suitable candidate, namely An Xin, played by Zhang Yi.

When everyone saw that Teacher Zhang Yi had a full head of white hair.

They were quite surprised.

"This is the result of fighting against powerful forces for 20 years without ever compromising, until now his hair is completely white!!"

"I feel so sorry for Teacher Zhang Yi!"

"Did you notice that when the supervisory team came to find An Xin, An Xin looked completely distrustful?"

"This shows that he already knew too much about the inside story before this."

"Yes, darkness precedes dawn."

Subsequently, An Xin seemed to realize that the supervisory team was really going to crack down on Jinghai.

So he told him everything about Gao Qiqiang.

Time seemed to rewind to more than 20 years ago.

The camera showed many firecrackers.

As the sound of firecrackers rang out.

It seems everyone is being told that it should be Chinese New Year time now.

"Crackling!!"

Amidst the sound of firecrackers, there were even police sirens.

The scene shifts to a group of people beating someone up.

Li Xiang and An Xin immediately stepped forward to stop them, shouting, "Don't move! Don't move! I'm a police officer! Don't move!"

The young Tang Xiaolong immediately put his hands together and apologized, saying, "Officers, we've been waiting for you. I've reported the case."

Li Xiang told him to shut up, and instead immediately checked on the injured person.

Gao Qiqiang, his face covered in blood, was somewhat dazed and confused, spitting out blood.

His disheveled appearance was heartbreaking to see.

At this point, the viewers in the live chat also became curious.

"No way, this guy is a mob boss?"

"They look so pitiful, I feel so sorry for them."

"That's because he hasn't turned evil yet. You'll know when he does."

"Tigers are quite cute when they don't eat people."

The plot unfolds gradually with this fight.

It turns out that Gao Qiqiang, who sells fish, has always been an honest and upright person. However, because he did not want to move his stall, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and buy a TV as a gift.

In his autobiography, Gao Qiqiang stated that he could not afford a 2 yuan television set, and could only afford one that cost a little over 7000 yuan.

However, he was looked down upon by Tang Xiaolong and others.

Tang Xiaohu even threw the television downstairs.

You have to understand, 7000 yuan was a huge sum of money in the last century.

This enraged Gao Qiqiang, and a fight broke out.

This scene also evoked sympathy for Gao Qiqiang among many viewers.

"Damn it, that's what happened when I was selling things on the street. That guy insisted on charging me 800 yuan before he'd let me sell there. I refused to pay. Why should other people not have to pay, but I had to? The next day he got someone to beat me up."

"Things were really chaotic back in the 90s, there was nothing we could do about it."

“My parents were also extorted in business. When they went to seek justice, the justice ended up being given to them.”

In the Longtian Garden residential community.

A middle-aged couple was eating their meal while watching television.

When they saw Gao Qiqiang being bullied, his wife's eyes couldn't help but well up with tears.

She looked at her husband and said, "Honey, back when we were running a sand and gravel quarry, we were bullied by the owner of the factory next door. Even going to the local village committee didn't help."

The husband comforted his wife, then said, "It's okay, we've made it through."

Then the husband watched TV, and when he saw that Gao Qiqiang had two younger siblings who were still in school, he felt even more sympathetic.

For a while.

The topic of Gao Qiqiang feeling wronged went viral and became a trending topic.
