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

Chapter 204 of the novel *The Wandering Earth* has been published?! A sensation! Sold out completely! (Please subscribe!)

Today, audiences in North America have given "The Wandering Earth" very high praise.

Many people expressed their opinions on social media after watching it.

"I really didn't expect to see such a stunning Chinese science fiction film."

"To be honest, I've always felt that Hollywood is the home of science fiction, but now Chinese science fiction is challenging Hollywood."

"I believe that one day, Director Song will be able to make even better science fiction films."

"I really like all the movies this director makes. I heard he also made an animated film, right? When will it be released in North America?"

The high praise for "The Wandering Earth" has also drawn more and more netizens to the cinemas, eager to see it for themselves.

And on the other side.

Anime fans in Japan have gone completely crazy.

They never expected it.

The movie "Ne Zha," which I had previously looked down on, is actually creating a legend every day.

After 15 days of release, the total box office has reached 56 billion yen!
And it's still rising!

The momentum is huge!

"Ne Zha" shattered everyone's initial impression of Chinese animation.

Even many anime fans have started searching for Song Hao's previous movies.

When they learned that Song Hao had also produced an animated film called "Chang'an 30,000 Miles", they immediately searched for resources on the website.

"Li Bai was a famous poet of the Tang Dynasty."

"Gao Shi is so amazing."

"Li Bai has many beautiful and famous poems."

“I know Li Bai. When we were studying history, our country went to the Tang Dynasty to learn from them.”

These anime fans from Japan have even started studying Chinese culture.

They even regretted it.

If I had watched "The Longest Day in Chang'an" first, I wouldn't have had such a strong prejudice against "Ne Zha".

In China, "Ne Zha" and "The Wandering Earth" continue to create myths.

Currently.

The Wandering Earth has grossed 41.1 billion yuan at the Chinese box office!
"Ne Zha" has even surpassed it, with a total box office of 41.5 billion yuan!
This, to some extent, illustrates the impact of "Ne Zha".

Chinese animation is not just for children; adults are more enthusiastic about good animated films than children.

After all, the film market is always dominated by young people.

at the same time.

The TV series "Lotus Lantern" was also officially broadcast.

Because everyone had been drawn to Song Hao's two films, and these two films were being promoted everywhere online.

It's fair to say that discussions about Song Hao have always revolved around "Ne Zha" and "The Wandering Earth".

This has led to "The Lotus Lantern" being somewhat overlooked.

Therefore, Song Hao specially postponed the broadcast of "Lotus Lantern" until after the New Year.

During this period, he also kept posting on Weibo to promote it.

Even though he didn't personally direct this series, he personally handled the story content and served as the producer.

Therefore, netizens are quite reassured about this.

They believe that anything produced by Song Hao is bound to be of high quality.

Given his previous collaboration with the Huashan Scenic Area, people had already begun to speculate about what kind of mythological story he would film.

When netizens learned that it was a myth about Chenxiang rescuing his mother, they immediately became interested.

However, as Tang Guorong said before, a myth can be explained in just one movie.

If it were made into a TV series, it would both lengthen the storyline and make the plot seem drawn out.

So viewers are also curious about how Song Hao will present this story of splitting the mountain to save his mother.

Director Ye of Hunan TV went all out to promote it.

After all, he spent 600 million yuan per episode on this drama, and he knew that this drama might not reach the peak ratings of "Bright Sword".

However, as long as the word-of-mouth and quality are not bad, the cost of 600 million per episode should not be too expensive.

soon.

The film "Lotus Lantern" has also been officially released.

Everyone sat in front of the TV early in the morning.

Watching this period drama with mythological elements.

Different from before.

The older generation of parents who watched the TV series "Bright Sword" last time are all watching Song Hao's "Lotus Lantern" on time this time.

In their words, they want to support the director of "Bright Sword" and encourage him to make more high-quality dramas.

The first episode of the story follows a plot that everyone is familiar with.

The beautiful and kind-hearted Third Holy Mother fell in love with the scholar Liu Yanchang and gave birth to their son, Chenxiang.

When Erlang Shen, the brother of the Third Holy Mother, learned of this, he led his heavenly soldiers and generals to surround and capture her, imprisoning her under Mount Hua.

In the midst of the emergency, the Third Holy Mother bestowed upon Liu Yanchang the essence of heaven and earth, the Lotus Lantern, instructing him to protect Liu Yanchang and his son as they escaped Erlang Shen's pursuit.

From then on, Liu Yanchang and his son lived in seclusion in Liujia Village, making a living by running a lantern shop.

Sixteen years have passed, and the agarwood has grown up.

One day, Chenxiang was punished by his father for leading the way in disciplining the schoolteacher, and was forced to make one hundred lanterns.

Unexpectedly, the lanterns that had troubled Chenxiang were automatically pasted on by himself under his consciousness, and he could even pass through walls freely.

Young Chenxiang, unaware of the dangers involved, soon began to show off his "magical powers" to his companions.

Erlang Shen and his celestial dog, disguised in human form, arrived in the human world and immediately discovered Chenxiang.

Chenxiang told Erlang Shen how much he missed his mother, which moved Erlang Shen deeply.

Erlang Shen told Chenxiang that his mother was a rare beauty in the world, and instructed Chenxiang not to tell his father about their meeting.

He ordered his hound, Xiaotian, not to allow anyone to harm Chenxiang, and to grant Chenxiang's every wish.

The content of the first episode quickly generated anticipation among viewers.

Moreover, Jiao Enjun's portrayal of Erlang Shen captivated countless young men and women.

"Wow, Jiao Ge's portrayal of Erlang Shen is so handsome!"

"This is the Erlang Shen I've always imagined!!"

"He's absolutely stunning!"

"Actually, I didn't look at the Third Princess at all in this episode; I was watching Erlang Shen Yang Jian the whole time."

"Hahaha, me too, they're so handsome! I can only say that Director Song is really good at casting actors."

Since this is Song Hao's first time directing a period drama, everyone is more or less curious.

They didn't know if Song Hao could handle the plot of a period drama.

However, judging from the first episode, the quality of the story and the attention to detail in the characters, props, and costumes, it's clear that Song Hao was indeed well-prepared.

Every detail and scene is precisely tailored to the audience's psychology.

The premiere ended that day.

Netizens have given "The Lotus Lantern" high praise.

"Jiao Enjun is the most handsome!"

"The Third Holy Mother descended from heaven and gave birth to Chenxiang, who lived with his father."

"Jiao Enjun is a true god descended to earth!"

"Jiao Enjun is so handsome as Erlang Shen, and he looks so wronged. I feel that his ultimate goal is to change the Heavenly Laws!"

They originally thought that the so-called female lead might be the Third Holy Mother.

But little did they know, the real female lead would appear later in the story.

Shu Chang plays Xiaoyu, an innocent and adorable little fox spirit who is devoted, kind, and stunningly beautiful.

This female character has won the hearts of many male viewers.

"Holy crap! Xiaoyu is my wife!!"

"It's mine, and no one can take it from me!"

"Damn it, get out of here! It's mine!"

"Xiaoyu is so beautiful. If I could marry her in this life, how wonderful that would be." Just then, a woman walked up to me and said, "What? Marrying me, Shuchang, will be a disservice to you?"

"Hey upstairs, my pee is yellow, let me spray you with it."

Suddenly, the audience watching "Lotus Lantern" split into three groups.

One group consists of the older generation, who pay attention to the plot and often discuss the subsequent content while watching TV dramas.

One group consists of female fans who desperately want Erlang Shen to appear on screen more often, and they also feel sorry for Erlang Shen being constantly insulted.

The other group consists of male fans who, upon seeing Xiaoyu, fantasize about what it would be like to date her.

The viewership ratings for "The Lotus Lantern" gradually rose from 2.15% at the start of its run to 2.65%.

Although this viewership rating is naturally slightly lower than that of "Bright Sword".

However, as a period drama, it is already a phenomenal television series.

This time, among the five major TV stations, Hunan TV was the most proactive in its promotion.

Director Yeh even arranged for advertisements to be broadcast in rotation throughout the morning, noon, and evening to promote "The Lotus Lantern" as much as possible.

Therefore, in the subsequent ratings, Hunan TV's ratings were better than the other four TV stations.

This relieved Director Ye.

After all, he spent 600 million yuan per episode to buy this TV series.

If this results in a loss, it will be difficult to explain for a long time.

The ratings for "Lotus Lantern" are quite good now that it has premiered.

If we increase the publicity, the viewership ratings will likely double again.

As for Huaxia Scenic Area, more than half a month ago, the staff began promoting the drama to every tourist who came to Huashan.

They even made posters and brochures and distributed them to every tourist.

Even the cable car on Mount Hua is advertising "The Lotus Lantern".

Song Hao understood the sincerity of Huashan Scenic Area.

So when promoting "The Lotus Lantern", he kept telling everyone how beautiful the Huashan Scenic Area was.

This has led more and more tourists to choose a suitable time after the Lunar New Year to visit Mount Hua.

"Take your crush with you; under the suspension bridge effect, no one can't hold on to them."

"I usually don't go back to the water before climbing a mountain like this, because I'm afraid I'll pee my pants when I get to the top."

"Looking down on Mount Hua from the West Peak, one can't help but sigh that life is worth living. Even someone like me who doesn't like climbing mountains insisted on climbing all five peaks, mainly because the scenery was just too beautiful."

"After climbing Mount Hua, I truly feel like all the other climbs I've done before were rubbish!!"

With the airing of "The Lotus Lantern," Mount Hua has once again appeared in the top three must-visit tourist attractions.

Huashan Scenic Area has also launched many promotional activities to allow more tourists to have a good time.

District Chief Miao even called Song Hao to express his gratitude: "Director Song, thank you so much."

Song Hao replied with a smile, "No need to thank me, there's nothing to thank me for. We're all doing this for the development of society, and by making TV dramas, I can also let the audience see a lot of interesting content. Besides, the story of Chenxiang splitting the mountain to save his mother is a very romantic myth."

"No matter what, I still have to thank you. The number of people coming to Huashan has increased by 30% now. When you have time, come and climb Huashan. I will definitely accompany you the whole way."

Miao's words piqued Song Hao's interest.

If you want to promote Mount Hua, it would be more meaningful to go there yourself.

Promoting "The Lotus Lantern" at that time would be excellent.

Moreover, the company has not held any team-building activities this year.

So he said to his assistant, "The whole company should prepare for a team building activity."

The assistant was delighted to hear this and asked curiously, "Mr. Song, where are we going?" "To Mount Hua."

The company's employees were very excited when they learned that they were going on a team-building trip to Mount Hua.

The key point is that Song Hao did not use his weekend rest time.

Instead, they go on Monday and come back on Friday.

I can rest at home for a while on Saturdays and Sundays.

I'll go back to work next Monday.

With such a wonderful boss, which employee wouldn't work their hardest for him?

So this scene appeared.

That is, the films "The Wandering Earth" and "Ne Zha" are still breaking box office records in theaters.

Netizens are speculating about the limits of these two films.

Song Hao, on the other hand, took about a hundred employees and flew directly to Mount Hua.

We had a spontaneous team-building trip.

During the five-day trip, the employees all took photos and shared their joy.

Song Hao also took a photo on the top of Mount Hua and posted it on social media.

This led to the HR department suddenly discovering 500 more resumes during that week when they returned.

It turns out that everyone was drawn to Guoteng Media by its generous benefits and high-quality working conditions.

Therefore, many people are submitting their resumes, hoping to become one of Song Hao's subordinates.

Suddenly, Song Hao's Boteng Media also became a trending topic.

This is the first time Song Hao has trended on social media as a boss.

In the comments, everyone expressed their envy of the employees of Guoteng Media.

"I heard that employees of Guoteng Media have afternoon tea from Tuesday to Thursday."

"I usually leave work on time every day, and I get overtime pay if I work overtime."

"Moreover, female employees can choose to take a day off each month or receive a 100 yuan menstrual leave allowance, which is simply a dream job for female employees."

"For single male employees, we collect their information every month and help them find a partner. We also hold matchmaking events from time to time. As a business owner, Director Song is truly amazing."

"I guess Director Song has experienced the life of working people, so he knows what we working people want."

"Can I work as a security guard there now?"

More and more netizens are beginning to envy the employees of Guoteng Media.

at the same time.

The editor-in-chief of Yangtze River Publishing House found Song Hao.

"Hello, Director Song! My surname is Lin, Lin Haiguo," Editor-in-Chief Lin said with a smile.

"Hello, Editor-in-Chief Lin."

Song Hao gestured, "Editor-in-Chief Lin, please have a seat."

After sitting down, Editor-in-Chief Lin explained his purpose: "Director Song, the thing is this, your recently filmed 'The Wandering Earth' is, in my opinion, a very successful science fiction film, and the box office has already proven everything."

"You flatter me, Editor-in-Chief Lin," Song Hao said with a smile.

Editor-in-Chief Lin then said, "That's right. I wonder if Director Song is interested in compiling the script of 'The Wandering Earth' into a novel. If we publish the novel of 'The Wandering Earth,' I believe it will be a bestseller."

Upon hearing this, Song Hao thought it was a good idea, since some netizens had previously inquired about purchasing the text version of "The Wandering Earth".

After all, as a movie, "The Wandering Earth" can only be watched online.

Novels, on the other hand, can be taken out and read at any time.

Song Hao agreed with Editor-in-Chief Lin's suggestion.

After a brief discussion, the two finalized the details of their collaboration.

Subsequently, Song Hao authorized the script of "The Wandering Earth" to Editor-in-Chief Lin.

Editor-in-Chief Lin was very excited as he looked at the script. He immediately said, "Don't worry, this novel will definitely get a copyright ISBN within half a month and then be published."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to Editor-in-Chief Lin."

A week passed after Editor-in-Chief Lin left.

The domestic box office of "The Wandering Earth" has exceeded 44.1 billion yuan.

This achievement was made even after Song Hao authorized the education bureau to allow primary and secondary school students across the country to watch "The Wandering Earth" for free in classrooms.

Director Chu of the Education Bureau was very pleased, believing that Song Hao's action would help to further inspire students' enthusiasm for learning.

This is especially helpful for children who have dreamed of space travel since childhood.

For this reason, Director Chu also bestowed upon Song Hao the title of Education Promotion Ambassador.

This title has garnered much praise from netizens.

"Director Song is really famous now!"

"Hahaha, Director Song holds several positions now!"

"To be honest, as long as Director Song doesn't collapse, the future is his."

"Actually, he won't have a scandal. As long as he doesn't go to prostitutes, we can accept it even if he changes girlfriends every week."

"Hahaha, I think so too."

"But it seems like he doesn't like women; he's never had any scandals."

In everyone's eyes, Song Hao seems to be too upright.

However, Song Hao is currently focusing all his attention on his career.

However, some people expressed admiration and affection for him.

Elizabeth Olsen was one of them.

She had watched Song Hao's "The Wandering Earth" two weeks ago.

She never expected that Song Hao could make such a movie.

So in the following days, Elizabeth frequently sent messages to Song Hao, praising his filming skills and rich imagination.

However, due to the time difference between the two regions, they chatted intermittently.

This made Elizabeth look forward to the day when she could act in Song Hao's movie in China.
With the help of the space agency, Yangtze River Publishing House quickly obtained the copyright ISBN.

Song Hao's script had already been proofread and there were no changes needed.

Therefore, Yangtze River Publishing House quickly began publishing and printing.

Editor-in-Chief Lin told Song Hao, "Director Song, the novel 'The Wandering Earth' can be pre-sold in three days."

"So fast?" Song Hao was somewhat surprised.

"At our Yangtze River Publishing House, almost everyone is busy with this, so the speed has increased considerably," Editor-in-Chief Lin said with a smile.

"Thank you for your hard work, Editor-in-Chief Lin and the staff of Yangtze River Press," Song Hao said.

Editor-in-Chief Lin quickly said, "Director Song, please don't say that. It's our honor to have you cooperate with us. We would also like to trouble you to mention the novel's publication on Weibo and Douyin."

"no problem."

Song Hao then posted a message on Weibo.

Thank you all for your love and support of the science fiction film *The Wandering Earth*. I appreciate your recognition as well. I've also seen many comments asking if I have a novel based on *The Wandering Earth*. I've partnered with Yangtze River Publishing House, and it will be available for pre-order on major sales platforms in three days. Please stay tuned.

This post quickly attracted the attention of many netizens.

In less than half an hour, it immediately became the top story on Weibo.

It also ranked first on the trending search list.

"Wow, is 'The Wandering Earth' getting a novel version? I definitely have to support it!"

"Looking forward to it, I'm so excited!"

"I'll buy two copies and put them on my bookshelf."

"I support 'The Wandering Earth.' Despite some flaws, it is, after all, our first real science fiction film."

“Family members, you can think of it this way: I donated 50 yuan to support Chinese science fiction films, and then Director Song gave me a movie ticket and a book. I think it was worth it.”

"By the way, Director Song, can you sign an autograph?"

Three days passed quickly.

Yangtze River Publishing House held a special autograph session for Song Hao.

Song Hao originally thought that there wouldn't be too many fans coming, and that he would finish signing autographs in an hour or two at most.

Unexpectedly, the venue for the autograph session was completely jammed with traffic that afternoon.

The drivers stuck in traffic behind even thought there had been a major car accident ahead.

Little did they know, it was actually Song Hao's autograph session.

Song Hao was surprised to find that nearly a thousand fans came to sign autographs and take photos with him.

When the leaders of the space agency learned of this, they immediately contacted the organizers and local departments to move the event to a stadium.

This stadium can hold more than 30,000 people, and it's usually where top singers hold concerts.

Now it's being used for book signings.

For a moment, everyone felt very proud.

I was thinking that I could become one of these fans.

Song Hao was worried that the fans would have to wait too long, so he even specially arranged for them to have fruit, snacks and drinks.

This heartwarming gesture has earned everyone's praise.

And so, Song Hao spent a full eight hours signing.

There was no rest during this period.

Try your best to meet the fans' requests.

Which fan wouldn't love such an approachable celebrity?

Soon, Song Hao signing autographs at the stadium became a trending topic.

On that day, major online bookstores also put the novel "The Wandering Earth" on their shelves.

But they sold out immediately.

Online bookstores such as Dangdang and JD.com have pre-sold all 100,000 copies that Yangtze River Publishing House had painstakingly printed.

This greatly surprised Lin, the chief editor of Yangtze River Publishing House.

He knew that the novel "The Wandering Earth" would be a huge hit.

But selling 100,000 copies in one day is absolutely insane!

Online, many netizens and fans have also expressed their opinions.

"Holy crap, I didn't manage to get one!"

"I'm fed up, the internet is so slow!"

"I went to the bookstore, but they said it was sold out."

"Could the Yangtze River Publishing House be any more useless? Couldn't they print a few hundred thousand more copies?!"

"Who bought it? Can I borrow it to take a look?"

"Wow, it's even harder to get than the Mate 60?!"

It can be said that the novel "The Wandering Earth" was met with nothing short of phenomenal success upon its release.

Although everyone had already seen the movie, they all supported Director Song in order to support the science fiction genre and realize the dream of making China's No. 1 science fiction film.

In response, Lin, the editor-in-chief of Yangtze River Publishing House, suspended all other business operations and issued a single order: "Publish 'The Wandering Earth' with all your might!! Print 600,000 copies a second time!!"

He originally thought that printing 600,000 copies for the second time was already an astonishing figure.

However, to his surprise, online reservations on platforms like Dangdang and JD.com had already reached 700,000!
Therefore, he excitedly dialed Song Hao's number.

The first thing he said was...

"Director Song, this is absolutely insane!"
