Chapter 205 Superintendent Wang's Invitation: A Film from the Police? (Please Subscribe!)
Song Hao was also very curious about how many copies were sold that day.

After all, the movie's box office figures are quite good, but if you ask them to buy the novel "The Wandering Earth," that's a different story.

So he asked, "How much did we sell today?"

Editor-in-Chief Lin's voice even trembled slightly as he spoke: "One hundred thousand, one hundred thousand copies were sold in one day."

Song Hao was very surprised: "So many?"

"This is only because we prepared 100,000 copies beforehand. If we had prepared 200,000 copies, we might have sold out today."

"I didn't expect it to become so popular. Everyone is rushing to read the novel 'The Wandering Earth.' Online bookstores like Dangdang have long queues of readers waiting to pre-order."

"I originally thought that setting the second printing at 600,000 copies was a very bold decision, but the total number of reservations on major websites has reached 700,000."

Song Hao didn't expect everyone to be so supportive of "The Wandering Earth".

You see, they had already read this story once.

Many people buy this book simply for collection purposes.

Of course, most people would be willing to read it again.

After all, the impact of visuals is completely different from that of words.

Words rely more on the imagination in each person's mind.

It has a certain uniqueness.

The Wandering Earth is still showing in theaters, and the enthusiasm for the movie hasn't waned.

Therefore, now is the best time to publish and release it.

Then Editor-in-Chief Lin said, "Don't worry, Director Song, I've already asked the printing factory to work overtime to print as much as possible to meet everyone's needs."

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

Song Hao hung up the phone.

He never expected that his published novel would be so highly praised.

Just as he was about to take a look at the book "The Wandering Earth" with his own eyes, the phone rang again.

The person who called was Director Chu of the Education Bureau.

"Xiao Song."

Upon hearing Director Chu's voice, Song Hao immediately said, "Director Chu, hello."

"Xiao Song, could you give me the phone number of Editor-in-Chief Lin from Yangtze River Publishing House?" Director Chu said.

"Okay, what's wrong?" Song Hao asked.

Director Chu explained, "Our Education Bureau is going to order a batch of copies of the novel 'The Wandering Earth' from them and distribute them to primary and secondary schools across the country, so that every school library must have a copy of the novel."

Hearing this, Song Hao was flattered.

He hadn't expected Director Chu to be so supportive.

Song Hao quickly expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank you very much, Director Chu."

"You don't need to thank me. This is your own achievement. You've made so many meaningful films that have influenced many young people. These primary and secondary school students are the flowers of our motherland, and we hope they can have this kind of cultural confidence," Director Chu said cheerfully.

Song Hao then tentatively asked, "Director Chu, approximately how many copies do you want to order?"

"Two million copies, at least enough for primary and secondary schools in every province and city to use as new textbooks for the new semester," Director Chu explained.

Song Hao learned that the Education Bureau was actually going to acquire two million copies of "The Wandering Earth".

Thinking to myself, Director Chu really values ​​the science fiction imagination of primary and secondary school students.

After all, cultivating their interest in aerospace is also about training talent for the space agency and the country.

Soon, people online began discussing the novel "The Wandering Earth".

"A short story with a grand background and a cold discussion of human ethics."

"In the vastness of life, is it a journey or a destination? Who knows? When such a thought is opened up, the fate of the earth becomes an unknown exploration on a grand scale, and survival becomes the greatest meaning of the individual on a smaller scale. The former lies in contributing to the destiny beyond our field of vision, while the latter has more revelations, such as the controversy between the two factions in the article and the motivation that supports them - this is why the betrayal occurs and the so-called sense of conviction."

"To be honest, when I watched the movie, I only paid attention to the special effects. Now that I've really calmed down and read the novel, I can picture those scenes in my mind."

"The imagination is amazing, the scenes described are shocking, they shock every cell in my body, it's my favorite science fiction novel so far."

"I don't know why, but after watching the movie once, I now have more to think about when I read this novel."

"It includes both distant stars and the universe, as well as profound reflections based on real society."

Soon, the novel "The Wandering Earth" also appeared on Douban.

It suddenly reached a high score of 9.0.

As the plot unfolds, netizens are urging Song Hao to hurry up in the comments section.

"Director Song, when are you going to film 'The Wandering Earth 2'?"

"Yeah, when will they film 'The Wandering Earth 2'?!"

"I believe he's already preparing for it, and the third one is in the works, and the fourth one is about to be approved. Yes, I guess that's what he's doing."

"Haha, you guys really think Director Song is a god, don't you?"

"He's truly a genius; I've never seen anyone make so many high-quality films."

"Not only that, even if he doesn't make films, the stories he writes are also very good, just like the recently broadcast 'Lotus Lantern'."

Song Hao noticed that everyone was urging him when he would start filming "The Wandering Earth 2".

He also gave a formal response.

"Don't worry everyone, 'The Wandering Earth 2' will be filmed, but not so soon~~ I'll let you all know as soon as it's ready!"

Song Hao's reply also excited the fans.

They all offered words of comfort.

"Don't worry, don't worry, we're not in a rush. You just need to make sure the quality is up to standard!"

"Yes, you have to make sure the quality is good. You absolutely can't just shoot anything to make a quick buck!"

"We can wait!"

"But don't keep us waiting too long!"

"I would really be grateful if I had to wait too long for a movie."

"I hope that 'The Wandering Earth 2' will be released during next year's Lunar New Year film season!"

"I also hope that the second movie can be released as soon as possible while maintaining its quality. My child really can't wait."

"Hahaha, I'm different. I'm reading a novel right now. After I've read it 50 times, I'll come and urge you to film the next one."

Meanwhile, the box office figures for "The Wandering Earth" and "Ne Zha" in China are still rising.

The Wandering Earth has now surpassed 47.12 billion!
"Ne Zha" has reached 47.98 billion!
These two films have not yet surpassed 50 billion.

But that doesn't stop people from calling Song Hao the director of the Spring Festival film season with a box office of 10 billion yuan.

This is absolutely terrifying.

No other director has been able to achieve this level.

Except for Song Hao.

Moreover, "Ne Zha" was also released in other countries.

Thanks to previous promotions, audiences in many Southeast Asian countries were very much looking forward to it.

After watching the movie, they all praised it highly.

They even believe that "Ne Zha" is comparable to Japanese anime.

Japanese anime fans even believe that "Ne Zha" has surpassed their country's anime in some aspects.

"Ne Zha" even made it into the top 20 of the box office charts in Japan.

It grossed a whopping 79 billion yen at the box office!

Meanwhile, The Wandering Earth also sparked a science fiction craze in North America.

Many viewers and movie fans are discussing the stunning special effects and meaningful backstory of "The Wandering Earth".

Every single day, it breaks North American box office records for domestically produced films!

The Wandering Earth has grossed $2981 million in North America.

This is already equivalent to a very successful commercial blockbuster in North America.

Originally, everyone thought that "The Wandering Earth" was indeed inferior to Hollywood blockbusters.

However, after they finished reading it, they didn't think so.

With its continued box office and critical acclaim, the number of potential movie fans is growing.

Despite the increasingly slowing trend in box office growth.

However, The Wandering Earth has already successfully shattered other countries' initial perceptions of Chinese science fiction, and that is enough.

to this end.

Song Hao was even invited by Tsinghua and Peking Universities in China to attend a science and technology exchange conference.

Despite Song Hao's repeated statements that he does not understand real science.

However, the presidents of Tsinghua and Peking Universities still believe that Song Hao was able to put forward very interesting science fiction ideas in "The Wandering Earth", such as "planetary engines", "future underground cities", "firestones", etc.

That in itself is a kind of strength.

At the principal's strong invitation, Song Hao still attended the exchange meeting.

Just as the car entered the school gate.

Song Hao was startled by the college students on both sides.

They all excitedly said, "Welcome, welcome!"

He originally thought it was a welcoming group organized by the school.

But to everyone's surprise, it was clear from their excited expressions that they had come to the school gate voluntarily to welcome Song Hao.

So Song Hao got off the bus ahead of time.

Many college students also stepped forward excitedly.

"Director Song, I am your biggest fan. I have watched every movie and TV series you have made."

"Director Song, me too. I'm really happy that you could come to our exchange meeting today."

"Our whole dorm was supposed to go to your novel signing event, but we all have classes that day. So, Director Song, could you please sign some autographs for us?"

Song Hao then realized that they had really come to welcome him.

So he took the novel and pen and signed them.

And took a group photo with everyone.

Surrounded by a group of university students, Song Hao walked into the auditorium.

Some college students, unaware of what was going on, passed by and saw so many people gathered around one person, even wondering what had happened.

When Song Hao entered the auditorium, he discovered that it was packed with people.

There were probably several thousand people at a glance.

Song Hao walked to the podium, first thanking everyone for their enthusiasm, and then talked about the creative ideas behind "The Wandering Earth".

The students present listened attentively.

They all wanted to know how the movie "The Wandering Earth" came about.

After Song Hao finished sharing his experiences, the students all raised their hands, wanting to ask their questions.

The presidents of Tsinghua and Peking Universities were also very pleased to see this.

It's worth noting that these students weren't as enthusiastic about the previous science exchange meetings.

He even felt that, given Song Hao's abilities, it would be a good thing to have him give more lectures to these students in the future.

After Song Hao finished the exchange meeting and left the campus.

Director Ye then called him.

"Hello, Director Ye."

On the other end of the phone, Director Ye chuckled and said, "Director Song, are you busy?"

"No, I'm in the car right now. What's wrong?" Song Hao asked.

Director Ye explained, "It's nothing. I just wanted to ask what kind of TV series you're planning to film next? We can continue to collaborate."

Song Hao was both amused and exasperated: "The Legend of the Lotus Lantern has only aired 15 episodes so far, and Director Ye has already started preparing for the next TV series?"

Director Ye replied, "This 'Lotus Lantern' is quite good. Although the ratings don't reach the level of 'Bright Sword,' it has managed to maintain an average rating of 3%, which is already very impressive. In the realm of period dramas on Hunan TV, it's a phenomenal achievement." He then anxiously asked, "Director Song, I am truly sincere about continuing our collaboration. If you have any ideas about filming a TV series, please remember to let me know."

"Don't worry, Director Ye, if we're going to make a TV series, we'll definitely let you know."

Only then did Director Ye hang up the phone, satisfied.

After hanging up the phone.

Song Hao then went online to read netizens' comments on "The Lotus Lantern".

"I really like Xiaoyu so much."

"Erlang Shen is so handsome."

Do you think Chenxiang will be able to successfully rescue the Third Holy Mother in the end?

"I now wait for the latest episode of 'Lotus Lantern' every day."

It can be said that male fans love watching Xiao Yu, played by Shu Chang, while female fans look forward to Jiao Enjun's Erlang Shen every day.

Although this drama was not directed by Song Hao.

However, the story content and plot are very popular.

Therefore, netizens left messages in the comment section of Song Hao's Weibo.

"Director Song, what's your brain made of? How could you come up with such an amazing script?"

"You are really amazing. You can make a war drama like 'Bright Sword' and a mythological story like 'Lotus Lantern'."

"To be honest, I'm not surprised at all that Director Song is making any kind of film or television work now. As long as he makes a film or television work, I think it will be of good quality."

"Hahaha, I'm thinking now, is there any genre of film that Director Song can't handle?"

At this moment, Song Hao opened the system.

The system task has been completed.

He had already accepted two tasks beforehand.

The first task is to successfully help a released movie gross over 40 billion yuan, in which case you will receive 1000 movie redemption cards.

The second task is to achieve a cumulative overseas box office of over $1000 million!
Both tasks were completed with ease.

Song Hao received 1000 movie redemption cards and a gold treasure chest for this.

Song Hao was naturally curious about this golden treasure chest.

He then clicked on it.

This treasure chest contained a coupon for a free movie.

That's a pretty good reward.

However, Song Hao doesn't plan to work right now, so he hasn't used the coupon for the free movie.

Last year, we spent most of the year making these two films, which took a lot of effort.

You need to get some rest.

Just then, Ni Ni sent him a message.

After taking a look, Song Hao drove to the seaside villa.

This is what he bought before.

When the two of them wanted to be alone, they would go to this place and stay for a while.

of course.

Naturally, some gunfire was inevitable during this period.

With Song Hao's support, Ni Ni has risen to become a top-tier female celebrity.

Moreover, they will have more say when choosing new dramas.

at the same time.

Zhao Jinmai also came to Guoteng Media's company.

She happened to have no classes that day, so she came to the company, intending to hang out with Director Song.

Upon learning that Director Song was attending an exchange meeting, I prepared to leave.

Just then, Song Hao returned from the villa.

He was somewhat surprised to see Zhao Jinmai: "What are you doing at the company, girl?"

Zhao Jinmai looked at Song Hao, first feeling a little embarrassed, then smiled and said, "I've come to see Director Song."

"Why are you looking at me?" Song Hao chuckled, then led Zhao Jinmai into the office and made her some tea.

Zhao Jinmai laughed too: "I'm not middle-aged, I don't want to drink tea."

“Then I’ll drink it. I’m middle-aged.”

Song Hao smiled, picked up a cup of tea, and drank it.

Zhao Jinmai watched him tilt his head back and drink tea.

In a sense, he is indeed very handsome.

Then she deliberately asked, "Director Song, I feel like you've never had any scandals."

Song Hao asked, "What kind of scandal?"

"She's my girlfriend."

"Can't I focus on my work?" Song Hao retorted.

Zhao Jinmai nodded: "Indeed, men who are serious about their work are the most handsome!"

Upon hearing this, Song Hao glanced at her again and suddenly realized that the way she looked at him was very similar to how Ni Ni and Liu Shuangshi looked at him.

Song Hao looked at the little girl in front of him and interrupted his thoughts.

After all, Zhao Jinmai is only 19 years old, while he is already 29, a ten-year age difference.

If she were 24 years old now, Song Hao would let things develop naturally.

As for now, he felt it was better to dissuade the young woman from having any such idea.

Then he said, "Okay, you can wander around now, I need to get back to work."

After saying that, he went to his desk and sat down.

Zhao Jinmai hesitated for a moment, then giggled and walked behind him, pinching his shoulders with her small hands and saying, "Let me massage your shoulders."

Song Hao originally wanted to refuse, but looking into her innocent eyes...

In the end, I softened.

"Okay, just say you're tired."

"it is good!"

The box office of "The Wandering Earth" and "Ne Zha" is still on an upward trend.

Therefore, Song Hao decided to extend the key.

We aim to get these two films to surpass 50 billion.

Meanwhile, "Ne Zha" has also finished its run in Japan.

The final result was 82 billion yen!
It ranks 19th in Japan's box office history.

This is clearly a very good result.

This has made many viewers in Japan even more eager for Song Hao's next animated film.

The Wandering Earth has also finished its run in North America.

The final North American box office was $3291 million.

The total global box office was $4124 million.

It can be said to be a very successful commercial science fiction masterpiece.

For a time, many well-known global film companies planned to invite Song Hao to make movies.

Hollywood in North America has extended an invitation.

They offered Song Hao a very tempting deal.

After learning about this, Chen Daoming, president of the China Film Association, and others...

They were somewhat worried that Song Hao would go to Hollywood.

It's true that people strive for higher positions.

However, Huaxia Film and Television is currently developing and needs exemplary fresh talent like Song Hao.

If Song Hao leaves, other directors may lose their competitiveness, and the old style and attitude of giving up will reappear.

Therefore, Chairman Chen Daoming immediately dialed Song Hao's number.

"Xiao Song, I heard that Hollywood invited you to make a movie?" Chairman Chen asked.

Song Hao replied, "Yes, Chairman Chen."

Song Hao was not surprised at all that Chen Daoming knew about this.

After all, the Chinese film and television industry only has a small circle.

Chairman Chen Daoming continued, "So what are your intentions?"

Song Hao explained, "I think I am Chinese. China's film technology is no worse than Hollywood's. I don't need to travel all the way there to make movies. Besides, the resources I can get here may not be comparable there."

“Yes, that’s right.” Chairman Chen Daoming was very pleased to hear this: “What kind of movie do you want to make in China? I can help you. What kind of actors do you want? I can also negotiate. I can even act in your movie for free. These are things that can’t be compared abroad. I hope you can make more high-quality movies in China. It’s not too late to go to Hollywood then.”

"Understood, Chairman Chen."

Song Hao's answer also relieved the China Film Association.

On the Hollywood side, Song Hao also politely declined.

Hollywood realized that since they couldn't find a director like that, they would have to curb its development.

Otherwise, in another year or two, when people think of blockbuster movies, their first impression might be Song Hao from China, rather than Hollywood in North America.

Just as Song Hao was planning to take a break, Director Long from the Anti-Drug Bureau called him again.

"Hey, Director Long."

"Good lad, you're really getting better and better."

Long Ju said cheerfully on the other end of the phone, "When you made 'Operation Mekong' and it grossed more than 20 billion yuan, I already thought you were a genius. Now I never expected that one of your movies would gross 50 billion yuan."

Song Hao laughed and said, "Not yet, those two movies are still a little short."

"Is there a difference? It's just a difference of two or three hundred million." Director Long said with a laugh, then added, "By the way, are you free now? Superintendent Wang from the police station said he really wants to see you. He's been talking to me about it several times already."

"Okay, I'll go there now."

Without saying a word, Song Hao immediately had his driver take him to the anti-drug bureau.

As soon as I pushed open the door, I heard laughter.

In his office, Director Long said, "Don't worry, this guy will definitely get it done for you."

Then he looked up at Song Hao and said, "Kid, you've finally arrived."

Song Hao first looked at Director Long and greeted him respectfully: "Director Long, it's been a long time."

"You have the nerve to say that? You're so busy filming movies every day, you never even have time to come to the station. Don't forget you're an anti-drug ambassador," Director Long complained.

He then introduced the middle-aged man beside him, saying, "This is Superintendent Wong from the Chief Police Department."

"Hello, Superintendent Wang," Song Hao said immediately.

Superintendent Wang chuckled, "Oh my, what a handsome young man! Come on, come on, have a seat."

Director Long quipped from the side, "Basically, everyone who comes here says something like, 'Wow, he's so young,' every time they see this kid."

"I'm thinking that not all directors are middle-aged men."

Superintendent Wang explained, "The main reason is that I didn't expect the person who made so many classic films to be such a young man. It just goes to show that the younger generation is surpassing the older one."

Song Hao said modestly, "Superintendent Wang, you flatter me."

Director Long then asked, "By the way, Superintendent Wang also wants to ask you for a favor this time."

Hearing this, Song Hao asked, "I wonder what Superintendent Wang needs me to do?"

Superintendent Wang began, "I'd like you to make a film about the police. Of course, it doesn't necessarily have to be about the police arresting people; any other type is fine. I'm here representing police departments nationwide."
