Chapter 199: "The Wandering Earth" is released, and the box office is about to explode! (Please subscribe)
The news of Song Hao's collaboration with Huashan Scenic Area spread like wildfire, becoming an instant sensation.

Just when everyone thought Song Hao was going to produce two movies and a TV series in one go, he told everyone that he was involved in the series as a supervisor and producer.

It wasn't filmed by me personally.

This also prompted many directors to volunteer themselves.

Because in their eyes, almost none of Song Hao's scripts were bad films.

As long as the film is shot according to the script, and with Song Hao as the producer, this drama is almost guaranteed to be a hit.

Song Hao suddenly received many self-recommendations from domestic directors.

However, he did not choose the more famous ones, but instead looked at the information and selected one by one.

Finally, they found a director named Yu Minsheng.

This director had previously directed a similar mythological drama.

Giving the script to him might be a good choice.

When Yu Minsheng learned that Song Hao wanted to invite him to cooperate, he was quite surprised.

Because from the perspective of the circle, he is not very smart.

He only had one or two moderately successful works.

However, Song Hao stated that he does not choose roles based on fame.

Instead, Song Hao believed that Yu Minsheng had previously directed a good mythological drama and had some experience in this area, so entrusting him with a script like "Lotus Lantern" was the most suitable option.

Yu Minsheng naturally agreed happily.

In addition, Song Hao also helped find some lead actors.

Cao Jun plays the role of Chen Xiang.

The female lead, a little fox, is played by Shu Chang.

Erlang Shen is naturally Jiao Enjun.

The actors were naturally delighted to learn that Song Hao had invited them to join the cast.

Song Hao is now a top-tier director.

Although he was not the director of this series, he was only the supervisor and producer.

But these actors also knew that they had no reason to refuse such a great director.

Soon, the production team of "The Lotus Lantern" began preparations.

It was also approved by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television.

To prepare for the auction as quickly as possible.

Meanwhile, Song Hao was working on two parallel projects.

While reviewing the special effects of "The Wandering Earth," he also supervised the production of "Ne Zha."

Zhao Jinmai also came to Guoteng Media during the school holiday.

Song Hao also took the time to receive her.

The two months they had spent together had made Zhao Jinmai no longer shy.

When he saw Song Hao, he even walked up to him happily and patted him on the shoulder.

Song Hao laughed and said, "It's great that you're still in college."

Zhao Jinmai shook her head and said, "What's so great about it? There's so much homework every day, you know?"

She then tentatively suggested, "Director Song, show me around the company."

Song Hao didn't refuse and took her on a tour of all the company's departments.

The company's employees all know that Zhao Jinmai is the female lead in "The Wandering Earth".

Furthermore, they have also signed a contract with Guoteng Media.

She is a true Song Dynasty lady.

So they greeted Zhao Jinmai warmly.

Zhao Jinmai also responded.

Around noon, Song Hao noticed that she was feeling sleepy, so he said, "If you're sleepy, you can go to my office. I have a big sofa there where you can lie down and rest for a while."

“Okay!” Zhao Jinmai didn’t stand on ceremony with Song Hao and entered the office with her assistant.

Song Hao continued to lead his employees in their work.

More than an hour later, he returned to his office.

Upon opening the door, I found Zhao Jinmai lying on her side on the sofa, seemingly fast asleep.

Seeing this, Song Hao took out a blanket and covered her with it.

To avoid suspicion, he ultimately chose not to stay in the office, but went to the animation production department to observe the employees' latest design trends.

When Zhao Jinmai woke up, she also discovered this blanket.

I felt much happier.

It's highly unlikely that she wouldn't have developed feelings for Song Hao after spending the past two months together.

After all, who would refuse a young, handsome older brother who takes good care of them?

However, Zhao Jinmai also knows that she is still young.

She's only 18 years old and currently a freshman in college.

The possibility of her developing a relationship with Song Hao is probably extremely slim.

She now hopes to become more famous and maintain some contact with Director Song, perhaps there is still a possibility in the future.

Of course, Zhao Jinmai will still be cautious about relationships, and will prioritize her studies and career.

Over time.

Filming for "The Lotus Lantern" has already begun.

The series "Lotus Lantern" has only 35 episodes.

However, since Song Hao wasn't personally involved in the filming, the filming progress was somewhat slow.

It took almost a month and a half to complete the filming.

During this period, Song Hao also frequently reviewed the footage shot by director Yu Mingsheng and made timely adjustments.

Of course, in most cases, director Yu Mingsheng was able to maintain a certain level of filming ideas with Song Hao.

Therefore, there is no need to make major changes.

During this month and a half.

Netizens are also very curious about the current progress.

They all discussed the progress on Song Hao's Weibo.

Song Hao responded promptly.

"The Wandering Earth is 80% complete! We will finish as soon as possible."

"Ne Zha is already 75% complete, about the same progress."

Netizens then asked, "Will it be released during the Lunar New Year holiday season?"

Song Hao: "No problem! Wait for my official announcement."

With Song Hao's assurance, the fans were overjoyed.

They all expressed that this year's Spring Festival will definitely be very exciting.

As the Lunar New Year approaches.

The progress of "Ne Zha" had been slower than that of "The Wandering Earth".

Ironically, it's the first one to finish!

When Guoteng Media's animation production department announced that "Ne Zha" was officially completed, everyone was overjoyed and wept.

Yes, they put in a lot of hard work over those eight months.

She even lost a lot of hair.

Finally, the film "Ne Zha" was completed in December.

But things aren't looking good for "The Wandering Earth".

Because there are just too many special effects.

The three major special effects companies, working in three shifts, still haven't finished the special effects for "The Wandering Earth".

To this end, Song Hao also urgently recruited a group of high-tech talents to help speed up the progress of the special effects.

When Guoteng Media was recruiting special effects technicians, netizens were surprised to find...

"A base salary of 25,000 a month, plus overtime pay, and afternoon tea every day—what an amazing salary!"

"Most importantly, we'll also get a share of the box office revenue from 'The Wandering Earth'!!"

"That's the important part!!"

In a short time, a large number of netizens came to apply for the job.

Sure enough, with the lure of high salaries, there's no top talent that can't be poached.

In just three days, Song Hao assembled a special effects technology team on his own.

His request was simple: to have this team assist the three major special effects companies in accelerating the special effects progress of "The Wandering Earth".

Song Hao originally thought that this team only needed to provide support.

Unexpectedly, they were even faster at designing special effects than one of the special effects companies.

Indeed, money makes the world go round!
What a simple and obvious truth this is!
Netizens thought that "The Wandering Earth" might not be able to be released during the Lunar New Year holiday.

As a result, it was brought back to life by this special effects team.

Song Hao also instructed the publicity department to step up their efforts.

For a time, advertisements for "The Wandering Earth" and "Ne Zha" were everywhere—on subways, buses, and shopping mall billboards.

[On the first day of the Lunar New Year, "The Wandering Earth" will celebrate the Spring Festival with you!]

【Let 'Ne Zha' celebrate the Chinese New Year with you! ~】These kinds of advertising slogans are practically everywhere.

This has caused some panic among investors and directors who plan to release films during the Lunar New Year holiday season.

They had already learned that Song Hao had two movies scheduled for release during this year's Lunar New Year season.

Therefore, many people who originally planned to release Lunar New Year films have postponed their releases.

They dare not gamble.

Last year's Lunar New Year films.

On its first day, "2012" had already taken the lead in box office revenue, despite having roughly the same number of screenings.

This year, major cinemas will definitely screen a lot of Song Hao's movies.

It can be said that the right timing, the right location, and the right people all came together.

This year's Lunar New Year film season will likely see most people heading to see Song Hao's two movies.

They decided to avoid direct confrontation.

Let's talk about it after the New Year.

Therefore, there aren't many big-budget films officially announced for the Lunar New Year release so far.

Only Song Hao made the decision early on.

And The Wandering Earth was finally completed 23 days before the Lunar New Year!
At that moment, the entire company cheered.

Moreover, the employees from the other three special effects companies who contributed to the special effects of "The Wandering Earth" also wept with joy.

They dedicated so much time and energy to this film over the past nine months.

It's finally finished.

Just waiting for it to be released during the Lunar New Year holiday!
Since Song Hao has two films scheduled for release during the Lunar New Year holiday this year, almost half of the actors and artists in the entertainment industry have been sharing and promoting them.

Wang Chuanjun has been working even harder, starting to post on Weibo two months ago.

Wang Chuanjun: [Everyone, remember to go see Director Song's "The Wandering Earth" and "Ne Zha" during the Chinese New Year!]

Wang Chuanjun: [Everyone, please remember to watch this!]

Wang Chuanjun: [I will randomly select 1000 lucky winners on Weibo and send them movie tickets.]

Jin Chen: [Fans, remember to cheer for Director Song's movie when it airs! I'll be going to see it too, let's see if we can meet up!]

Ni Ni: [Babies, let's support Director Song's movie~]

Liu Shuangshi: [Everyone remembers Director Song's new releases, "The Wandering Earth" and "Ne Zha"~~]

Li Qinqin: [I also had a cameo role in "The Wandering Earth"!]

Such a display of power is truly unique to Song Hao.

online.

Netizens are also very much looking forward to it.

They all said, "We will definitely go see Director Song's movie!"

"Yes! Director Song is releasing two movies at the same time, and I don't know which one to watch first."

"It doesn't matter anyway, I'll read them all."

"I can't wait for the New Year! I can't wait for it to start!!"

Of course, there will be a greater demand for "The Wandering Earth".

Because the previously leaked character photos of "Ne Zha" were too unflattering, people were not used to it.

Some netizens are not optimistic about the upcoming release of "Ne Zha".

They believe that the science fiction film "The Wandering Earth" could very well gross twice as much as "Ne Zha".

At a time when everyone had high expectations for "The Wandering Earth".

Some people have dug up a video from a while ago in which a well-known foreign science fiction director commented on Chinese films.

This science fiction director has made many science fiction films. When the host asked the director whether China Film Group's "2012" was a good science fiction film,

Director Stephen first affirmed, "First of all, I think '2012' is a good disaster science fiction movie."

But the next second, he said, "However, I think this may be the only film in the Chinese market that can reflect the level of science fiction, because we all know that the Chinese market does not value science fiction films at all, and I believe that there will be no such film again for a long time to come."

This video has also been widely circulated among netizens.

"Damn it, I'm really angry, but what he said makes a lot of sense."

"Our Chinese film and television market simply doesn't respect science fiction films, and what they said is true."

"Those directors make those damn romance movies all day long to make easy money, they never bother to study science fiction at all."

"Now we can only hope that Song's 'The Wandering Earth' can recreate the peak of '2012'!"

"Yes, right now in the film and television industry, only Director Song can keep things stable!"

"We must believe in Director Song's 'The Wandering Earth'!!"

Everyone seems to be holding their breath, wanting to wait until the first day of the Lunar New Year to see "The Wandering Earth" give a resounding slap in the face to those netizens who look down on Chinese science fiction films.

As time goes by.

More and more people are discussing these two movies.

However, gaps have gradually emerged.

Because of the groundwork laid by "2012", the promotional wave for "The Wandering Earth" came one after another.

On the contrary, the popularity of "Ne Zha" has been declining.

It seems that in everyone's eyes, "Ne Zha" is likely to be the only film among Song Hao's many works that might flop.

As the clock struck midnight on New Year's Eve.

The new year has officially begun.

at the same time.

Cinemas have also begun the busiest time of the year.

The midnight screenings of Lunar New Year films have officially begun!
According to Maoyan's real-time data.

The Wandering Earth has achieved an astonishing 46.7% of screenings!
It seems that major cinema chains are also very optimistic about "The Wandering Earth".

The film with the second highest number of screenings is "Ne Zha".

It followed closely behind at 30.1%.

However, the number of screenings for these two films differs significantly.

Song Hao said this was normal, after all, the promotional poster for Nezha at the time showed an ugly-cute image of Nezha that was enough to deter many people.

Therefore, the theater chains naturally understand this as well.

On its opening day, The Wandering Earth naturally had more screenings.

But he is not in a hurry.

Because as time goes by, the reputation of "Ne Zha" will definitely get better and better, and the number of screenings will definitely increase gradually.

The thought of his two films fighting each other was both funny and sad.

However, he is confident that these two films will definitely change the Chinese people's impressions and perceptions of the animation field and the science fiction genre!

He also believes that "The Wandering Earth" has made people all over the world aware of one thing.

That means China has its own famous science fiction movies!
in the cinema.

Many viewers, holding their movie tickets, entered their respective theaters.

The blogger, Free Bird, had already grabbed his movie ticket for "The Wandering Earth" and rushed to his seat, where he sat down.

He absolutely will not go home to sleep tonight until he finishes watching the two movies Song Hao made.

Just as he took out his phone to take a picture of the screen.

Only then did I notice that the entire theater was almost full.

And they were all doing the same action.

That means taking out your phone and waiting in front of the screen.

next second.

The theater went dark.

Wu Jing's voice came from the screen.

Floating above, looking at Jupiter in the sky.

Everyone immediately fell silent and watched intently.

Soon after, the voice-over in the movie began to describe the current state of Earth in the future.

"Initially, no one cared about this disaster. It was just a wildfire, a drought, the extinction of a species, the disappearance of a city, until this disaster became relevant to everyone."

"The sun is aging rapidly and continues to expand. In a hundred years, the sun will expand to the point of engulfing the entire Earth, and in three hundred years, the solar system will cease to exist."

"Faced with this catastrophic disaster, humanity has shown unprecedented unity. In order to allow more people to survive, the United Government has decided to push the entire Earth out of the solar system and fly it to a new home 4.2 light-years away."

"This grand and lengthy human migration plan was named the Wandering Earth Project."

"Humanity has poured all its resources into building 10,000 planetary engines on the Earth's surface."

"It will provide the power for Earth to leave the solar system. Each propulsion engine is 11,000 meters high and will provide a total of 150 trillion tons of thrust to Earth."

When everyone saw the enormous Navigator International Space Station in space, they all exclaimed in amazement.

This special effect.
That's absolutely awesome!!
They never expected to see such spectacular space effects in the first four minutes of the film.

The special effects design of this space station is truly eye-opening for everyone.

They took out their phones and started recording their screens.

Even the blogger, who was mentally prepared, couldn't help but exclaim in amazement at the special effects: "Holy crap! That's so cool!!"

For a time, everyone shared this sentiment.

At that moment, they were certain of one thing: this film, *The Wandering Earth*, was absolutely not going to flop, and might even break the box office record of *2012*!
