Chapter 228 "The Battle at Lake Changjin" - A blockbuster film with nationwide participation!! Absolutely stunning! (Please subscribe)
In the following period, Song Hao spent his time working on the script for "The Battle at Lake Changjin".

During this time.

The China Film Festival has begun.

As the current president of the China Film Association, Song Hao naturally had to attend.

In addition, his own film was nominated for several awards this year.

I definitely have to participate.

When Song Hao made his appearance.

All the reporters in the room immediately turned their cameras toward him.

"Director Song, your films 'Infernal Affairs' and 'Wolf Warrior' have both been nominated for several awards. How many awards are you confident you can win today?"

When faced with this question, Song Hao calmly smiled and said, "Actually, I don't know either. Let's just say the more soldiers Han Xin commands, the better."

"Both your films, 'Infernal Affairs' and 'Wolf Warrior,' have been nominated for Best Film. From your personal perspective, which of these two films do you think has a better chance of winning?"

Song Hao thought for a moment, then said, "Actually, I think I like both of these movies very much. Of course, if we look at the box office results, 'Wolf Warrior' might have a better chance."

At this point, another reporter asked, "Director Song, after you made the movie 'Wolf Warrior,' which has now reached a box office record of over 60 billion yuan in China, will your future films continue to break box office records?"

"I can't say for sure whether my next project will break box office records, but I can give you a heads-up: the next movie I'm going to make will also be a large-scale production, and even more spectacular."

Upon hearing this, the reporters present became excited.

They originally wanted to ask more questions about the new movie.

However, it was already time to enter.

Song Hao could only smile and leave.

Reporters also posted the news online immediately.

Netizens were also very curious about how many film festival awards Song Hao could win.

"I think there should be at least three."

"Three is too conservative; I think there should be five."

"Five is too few. Have you forgotten that he won six awards that year?"

"If all the most prestigious awards go to Director Song, then I have no objection."

Just when everyone thought the focus today would be on how many awards Song Hao would win, interviews about Song Hao's new movie were also released.

This made everyone very excited.

"My goodness! Director Song said he's going to make an even more explosive and shocking big-scale film next. Is it going to be even bigger than 'Wolf Warrior' and 'Operation Red Sea'?"

"If that's the case, then I can't think of any movie genre or type."

"Could this be a real war movie?"

"That's right. The previous films, 'Wolf Warrior' and 'Operation Red Sea,' were all about individual actions taken in peacetime. Is he going to make a movie set in wartime this time?"

"Don't forget, Director Song directed 'The Flowers of War'. Oh right, Director Song directed 'The Flowers of War'. You guys forgot, he's really good at filming war scenes."

"If that's the case, then I'm really looking forward to it."

"But wouldn't it be strange to go to the cinema to watch a war movie? There seem to be quite a few patriotic war movies these days."

"There are quite a few, but they're not particularly outstanding. We can certainly watch high-quality war films."

"I think it should be a movie set during the War of Resistance against Japan."

For a moment, netizens stopped speculating about how many film awards Song Hao would win and became curious about what kind of movies he would make next.

Song Hao arrived at the film festival venue.

This time, his position was moved from the third or fourth row to the first row.

The other celebrities and actors were even more respectful and polite when they saw Song Hao this time.

After all, Song Hao's status is different now.

He is now the president of the China Film Association.

Anyone working in the entertainment industry has to treat Song Hao with utmost respect.

Even Director Zhang and Director Chen, who rarely talk to each other, smiled slightly when they saw Song Hao as a greeting.

Song Hao sat down.

He then looked at Wu Jing behind him and waved.

Upon seeing this, Wu Jing immediately came over.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the two got straight to the point.

Wu Jing asked directly, "Have you finished writing your script yet?"

"almost."

When can we start preparing for the auction?

"We still have to wait for approval; the script needs to be submitted," Song Hao explained.

Wu Jing was somewhat surprised: "Does this movie need to undergo rigorous vetting?"

After saying that, he suddenly realized and added, "I almost forgot, this is a tribute film. What exactly is the subject matter?"

"A film about aiding North Korea".

Upon hearing this, Director Zhang and Director Chen, who were standing nearby, were quite surprised.

In fact, they knew that the higher-ups were planning to produce a tribute film.

But to their surprise, this task was assigned to Song Hao.

After all, given Director Zhang's resume, he is clearly an officially recognized director for organizing the Olympics.

The tribute film didn't approach me first, but went straight to Song Hao.

Director Chen Kai was just enjoying the spectacle and didn't think he was qualified to make a tribute film.

But Director Zhang is qualified!
So he asked, "Brother Zhang, hasn't the boss contacted you?"

Director Zhang's face darkened, and he said, "I'm not qualified."

He looked at Song Hao, Wu Jing, and the others chatting beside him, and it would be a lie to say he wasn't envious.

soon.

The film festival has officially begun.

The awards ceremony lasted two and a half hours.

Song Hao is the candidate that everyone is paying close attention to and looking forward to.

He went on stage and accepted seven awards in one go.

These include Best Picture, Best Director, and more.
Even the Best Actor award was related to Song Hao's film.

It can be said that Song Hao was undoubtedly the biggest winner at this film festival awards ceremony.

Although it is somewhat inappropriate for him, as the president, to receive so many awards at once.

But no one present thought he was unworthy.

After all, just four months ago, his film "Wolf Warrior" broke the box office record in Chinese film history.

It's fair to say that all the awards received tonight were well-deserved.

This has made more and more artists and celebrities eager to collaborate with Song Hao.

After the film festival ended.

Song Hao left the scene with so many awards in hand.

The media also exaggeratedly described Song Hao as a human award-winning machine.

Tonight, Song Hao swept seven awards at the China Film Festival.

[This is Song Hao's era!] [Once you cooperate with Song Hao, you're not far from success.]

These headlines are also being refreshed online.

The topic of Song Hao receiving the award has been trending on social media.

But Song Hao knew that if he didn't make a representative film, he would be in trouble.

It's difficult to convince some of the older generation.

Therefore, expediting the scriptwriting process for "The Battle at Lake Changjin" is the most urgent task at present.

For five consecutive days, Song Hao was creating in his office.

Because "The Battle at Lake Changjin" is divided into two parts, Song Hao wrote the scripts for both parts in one go.

But he first took the script from the previous installment to see Director Qian.

When the director learned that Song Hao had completed the screenplay for the film "The Battle at Lake Changjin", he immediately began to read it.

This glance completely captivated the former director.

The script's depiction of the Battle of Chosin Reservoir is quite accurate.

Just by reading the text, Director Qian felt as if he were actually there.

After a long while, he put down the script, looked at Song Hao and said, "Your script is excellent."

"If this tribute film were made using this script, I can't even imagine what the scene would be like."

Director Qian patted him on the shoulder and exclaimed, "You really are the most talented young man I've ever met. This script has passed the test, and I will recommend this war movie to the higher-ups later."

"There shouldn't be too many problems."

"Also, this movie has a very high budget. I will have the publicity department jointly fund it. Don't worry, I will control the costs so that you can make the movie without any pressure."

Upon hearing this, Song Hao smiled and said, "Director Qian, I am also a Chinese citizen. It is my honor to be able to make a tribute film for the country. Cost is not important to me at all. Making a film that can boost morale for everyone is the best thing."

Director Qian shook his head: "That's true, but I can't let those with ulterior motives feel wronged. On the contrary, I have to protect patriotic young people like you."

"Go back and wait for news. I'll let you know within two days whether this script will pass the test."

"Okay, then I'll wait for Director Qian's news."

Back at the company, Song Hao was finally able to rest and catch his breath.

For the next two days, he did nothing but quietly wait for news from Director Qian.

On the afternoon of the third day, Director Qian called: "Xiao Song, there's no problem with this script. It's been approved by the higher-ups, and there's no need to worry about funding. This time, the funding is plentiful. In short, you can make it however you want."

With Director Qian's assurance, Song Hao was naturally delighted: "Then I'll do it my way."

"Okay, I only have one request, and that is that it must be filmed in a way that is truly impactful, and that it must capture the spirit of our Chinese soldiers!" Director Qian reminded him.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!!"

Soon after, the Ministry of the Army and Guoteng Media officially announced the production of this film.

When netizens learned that Song Hao was going to make a movie about aiding North Korea, they were all in an uproar.

[A new film, "The Battle of Chosin Reservoir," is about to begin production. It is a joint production of Guoteng Media Co., Ltd. and the Ministry of the Army. The film is based on the true events of the Battle of Chosin Reservoir. Please stay tuned.]

This official announcement immediately sparked a lot of discussion among netizens.

"Holy crap, they're actually going to make a war movie!!"

"It really is true! My goodness, so Director Song's interview at the film festival wasn't just a fabrication after all."

"I told you long ago that Director Song was going to make a war film, but you didn't believe me."

"This movie is probably a tribute film, meant to honor the brave soldiers who fought back then."

"Do you think the battle scenes in this movie will be even larger than those in 'The Flowers of War'?"

"Of course."

"I don't have much of an impression of the Battle of Chosin Reservoir. Can someone give me a brief explanation?"

Just then, some bloggers who were well-versed in history took the opportunity to start popularizing science.

One of the well-known bloggers made a video overnight to explain the significance of this battle.

The Battle of Chosin Reservoir during the Korean War demonstrated the might of the soldiers!

[How significant was the Battle of Chosin Reservoir? It's important to know that China doesn't have a Christmas Eve, only the anniversary of the Battle of Chosin Reservoir. This battle took place 73 years ago. Our soldiers inflicted heavy losses on the enemy's First Route Army at Chosin Reservoir, but suffered over 19000 casualties, including nearly 29000 frostbite. Of the 150,000 troops involved, more than one-third were lost.]

This post shocked many netizens who only knew the surface of the story.

They never imagined that there would be such a shocking battle back then.

After Director Qian confirmed that the script had passed the review, Song Hao began to select actors.

at the same time.

He also instructed Guoteng Media to release internal information about casting actors for the film.

Almost half of the celebrities in the entertainment industry want to seize this opportunity.

They all sent messages and letters to Guoteng Media.

Some even said they didn't need payment.

Some top-tier actors and stars even suspended their upcoming appearances and activities, and hurriedly asked their agents to inquire about films with Guoteng Media.

This film, "The Battle at Lake Changjin," appears to be a Lunar New Year release.

But in reality, everyone knows that this is a tribute film.

Being able to contribute to the country is something every actor would fight tooth and nail to get a role in.

Wang Chuanjun, Jin Chen, and others immediately sent messages to Song Hao.

Wang Chuanjun: [Director Song, I don't need a salary, I don't even need many scenes, but I beg you to let me join your crew.]

Jin Chen: [I can be a medic! I'm fine with any role!]

Peng Yuyan: [Director Song, if possible, I would also like to be given a role.]

Song Hao responded with a wry smile: "I need to carefully consider every role in this movie, and I'll invite you all if you're suitable."

Of course, Wang Chuanjun and the others did not insist too much.

After all, they knew that Song Hao always valued the quality of his films and would never force someone into the film crew just because he had a good relationship with them.

Only true friends will consider each other's careers.

So they all replied: "Okay, then I'll wait for Director Song's news! If there aren't any suitable roles, then I'll wait for the next movie."

Of course, this movie requires a large number of extras.

So he delegated the task of gathering extras to his assistant.

When Guoteng Media announced that it needed thousands of extras, the WeChat groups for those extras went crazy.

"My God, Director Song needs temporary extras!! Over a thousand people!!"

"so much!!"

"Yeah!! Maybe we should hurry up and sign up. Maybe Director Song will have a keen eye and discover my talent."

"Let's go, hurry up and sign up!!"

As a result, nearly 10,000 people signed up for these temporary extras positions, which were originally needed for thousands of extras.

For a while.

The fact that Song Hao is filming "The Battle at Lake Changjin" is not just a matter for the entertainment industry; it has also attracted the attention of netizens and audiences across the country!

It's as if this is a grand drama involving the entire population!
