Chapter 233 Titanic! Entering the global box office market! (Happy New Year, please subscribe!)
online.

Audiences are actively discussing how high the box office figures for "The Battle at Lake Changjin" will be.

But for Song Hao, the current box office figures are just numbers.

He didn't care how much money the movie would bring him.

Most importantly, the quality of this film as a tribute film and the resonance it evokes in the audience are perfectly presented, and that's enough.

The fact that Director Qian applied for him to join the publicity department, in particular, illustrates a point.

You'll never lose out if you follow the country's lead.

As for his military rank, he wasn't worried.

He knew that his superiors would definitely give him a suitable position based on his contributions.

at the same time.

There is also widespread support for this overseas.

Many people want to see this great masterpiece.

Especially for Chinese people living abroad, their patriotism is equally profound.

Of course, as a war film, "The Battle at Lake Changjin" doesn't have a particularly wide audience.

Moreover, people in other countries did not resonate with it much.

Therefore, even if "The Battle at Lake Changjin" were released overseas, it wouldn't cause a particularly big stir.

In response, Song Hao decided that his next film would be aimed at conquering the global box office.

I took a month off.

The box office figures for "The Battle at Lake Changjin" continue to break records.

The box office has reached 71 billion!
This is already a very alarming number.

The overseas version of "The Battle at Lake Changjin" has also been released in other countries.

The film garnered praise from many foreign friends upon its release.

Especially YouTuber Donnie.

During the live broadcast, he looked at the camera with an almost worshipful gaze and said, "Hey, Director Song, you are truly the director I admire most in my life. I have never seen such a beautiful and touching movie."

Other netizens also commented in the comments section.

"Although I don't know how significant this battle is to the Chinese people, I can see from this movie the Chinese soldiers' determination to win. They clearly know that they must defend their homeland. I have never seen such spirit and belief in any other country."

"Yes, that's what I think too. When I saw them rushing forward without hesitation, I was moved to tears."

"China is a magical country. I really want to visit it sometime."

"China has a history of thousands of years."

It is precisely because of Song Hao that more and more netizens have become curious about the country of China.

The overseas box office for "The Battle at Lake Changjin" reached $1800 million within a week.

This is a qualitative leap for a domestically produced war film.

Even Mike, the director known for making war films, said on Twitter after watching "The Battle at Lake Changjin": "I can't believe that this film was made by a young director who is not even 30 years old. I really want to meet him!"

Just when everyone was discussing "The Battle at Lake Changjin", Chen Daoming found Song Hao.

"President Chen," Song Hao greeted politely.

Chen Daoming laughed, "I'm not the president anymore, you're the president."

"In my heart, you are the president." Song Hao said with a smile.

Chen Daoming then said, "Your 'The Battle at Lake Changjin' is breaking box office records every single day."

"It's all thanks to everyone's support; otherwise, we wouldn't have achieved such high box office numbers," Song Hao replied.

"I called you here today not only to congratulate you on 'The Battle at Lake Changjin,' but also to discuss something with you," Chen Daoming explained. "It's like this: your achievements in domestic films are already very high, which has given us older generation artists hope for Chinese films. So I was thinking, could you help expand Chinese films and let people all over the world know how amazing Chinese films are?"

"What Chairman Chen means is..."

Chen Daoming replied, "What I mean is, can you make a film that is released globally? You always have to go abroad and bring more high-quality films to every corner of the world."

Upon hearing this, Song Hao understood what Chen Daoming meant.

He nodded and explained, "I understand. In other words, Chairman Chen wants me to make a movie that audiences all over the world will love."

“That’s right. Once you open the door to the world market, the visibility of Chinese films will increase, and they will have more opportunities to win awards at festivals like Cannes and Berlin,” Chen Daoming added.

Song Hao then reminded him, "If that's the case, then the subject matter of this movie must be something that people all over the world like, and it must be a movie with a popular theme."

Chen Daoming then asked, "The only movie genre that people all over the world would love is romance. You previously directed a TV series called 'Parents' Love,' which was a hit in more than 10 countries. It's a pretty good example. Why don't you just make a classic romance movie?"

After listening, Song Hao thought about it carefully.

He felt that Chen Daoming's words made a lot of sense.

He then nodded in agreement, saying, "Okay, Chairman Chen, I will consider it seriously. Don't worry, this year's mission is to take Chinese films abroad and let people all over the world see our films."

"Okay, I like your confidence." Chen Daoming nodded and then left.

After Chen Daoming left.

Song Hao also sat down and began to think.

Actually, he had considered what Chen Daoming said before.

Moreover, the themes they came up with were all the same.

If it's a popular genre, then it has to be romance films.

If we're talking about romance movies, which one could truly move people all over the world?

suddenly.

Song Hao thought of a movie.

Immediately open the store and start searching.

Movie title—Titanic!
The film "Titanic" is a romantic disaster movie co-produced by 20th Century Fox and Paramount Pictures.

It premiered on November 1, 1997.

It won 11 awards at the 70th Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director.

The story is set against the backdrop of the sinking of the Titanic in 1912 after striking an iceberg on its maiden voyage.

It tells the touching story of Jack, a poor painter, and Rose, a noblewoman, who fall in love despite societal prejudices, and Jack ultimately gives up his life to give to Rose.

This film touched the entire world.

"Jack", "Rose" and the song "My Heart Will Go On" are deeply etched in people's hearts.

Titanic is the only romance film among the top ten highest-grossing films worldwide.

It can be said that "Titanic" is a significant chapter in film history, a romantic epic of love and disaster.

It tells a story about love, but portrays it as grand and sacred.

It recounts the disaster, yet presents it in a romantic and moving way.

The film uses a flashback technique, starting with a group of people searching for diamonds on the Titanic, which leads to the elderly Rose recounting her experiences on the ship.

Although this technique has been used in many films, including some classic films such as "The Legend of 1900" and "The Shawshank Redemption".

Typically, the film intersperses narration by characters returning to reality multiple times, cleverly integrating the artistic beauty of literature into the film, while also serving to advance the plot and buffer emotions. As the story progresses, the love story between the male protagonist Jack and the female protagonist Rose slowly unfolds.

The process of the two meeting, getting to know each other, falling in love, and falling in love was full of ups and downs.

Of course, the sinking of the Titanic was horrific. The ship listed higher and higher, the stern rose high, the huge propeller was exposed to the air, all the lights on board went out, and there was no one to rescue them in the vast Atlantic Ocean.

Jack clung to the plank, and Rose said, "Jack, I love you."

This is the only confession in the entire film, spoken at the moment of death, when hope is about to be shattered.

In the end, Rose let go of Jack's hand, watching him disappear quickly into the dark blue sea, watching the Atlantic Ocean swallow her most perfect memories.

This movie can be described as full of fantasies about love.

Amidst the anxieties of gain and loss, the protagonist's death creates a classic.

Most importantly, this is a true story.

This resonated even more with the audience. (Thinking back to the beginning.)

Song Hao decided to film this movie, "Titanic".

So he immediately redeemed the film.

Over the next week.

Song Hao is currently working on the script for "Titanic".

This 194-minute-long, over three-hour-long epic love story consumed all his energy from the past week.

After he finished the script, he decided to have all the female artists under his company come and watch it.

When Ni Ni, Liu Shuangshi, Li Qinqin, and the others all entered the office, they had no idea what was about to happen.

"Is Director Song going to give out red envelopes?" Jin Chen thought that Song Hao had specially called them over to give out red envelopes to celebrate the record-breaking box office of "The Battle at Lake Changjin".

Song Hao laughed and said, "Red envelopes are too trivial to warrant me calling you all here. The main reason I called you all here today is to show you a script."

Ni Ni was also curious: "What script is it?"

"It's a script for a romance movie. After you've read it, you can share your thoughts. If anyone is willing to volunteer for a role, feel free to ask," Song Hao said directly.

Now they were all curious too.

It's worth noting that in the past two years, Song Hao has filmed "Infernal Affairs," "Wolf Warrior," and "The Battle at Lake Changjin," and his roles as the female lead have become increasingly smaller.

As former "Song Girls," they naturally wanted to continue working with their boss.

Who doesn't want to be famous?

Ni Ni, on the other hand, started reading the script.

When she saw the words "Titanic," she was somewhat surprised: "I recognize this one. It seems to be a cruise ship from over 100 years ago, right?"

Song Hao nodded: "Let me tell you the background story of this movie. It's based on a true story."

"The Titanic, also known as the Titanic, was an Olympic-class ocean liner operated by the White Star Line. Construction began on March 31, 1909, at the shipyard in Belfast, and it was launched on May 31, 1911. It was completed and began its sea trials on April 2, 1912."

When others heard this story about a cruise ship from over 100 years ago, they were all astonished.

"A story from over 100 years ago?"

"Why don't I remember much about this?"

"Me too."

Song Hao replied, "It's normal. You wouldn't know this if you didn't look into it yourself. The Titanic was the world's largest and most luxurious passenger ship at the time, and it was known as unsinkable."

"Unfortunately, on her maiden voyage, the Titanic met with disaster—on April 14, 2012, the Titanic collided with an iceberg, causing a rupture in the starboard channel to the middle of the ship, and flooding five watertight compartments."

"In the early hours of the following day, the Titanic broke in two and sank to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean."

Of the 2224 crew members and passengers, 1500 perished, and only 333 bodies were recovered.

"The sinking of the Titanic was the deadliest maritime disaster in peacetime, and its wreckage was not rediscovered until 1985."

"And my story took place on the Titanic."

After hearing this, everyone present was deeply moved.

"This is too tragic."

“If an accident happens at sea, it’s practically a matter of life and death,” Li Qinqin replied.

Meanwhile, Liu Shuangshi was intently studying the script.

She was already captivated by the storyline.

Soon, all six female artists present were looking at the contents of the script.

Zhao Jinmai even cried while engrossed in the story.

Two hours later, they all looked up at Song Hao.

Song Hao asked, "Who among you wants to act?"

Unexpectedly, they answered in unison: "Director Song, we are not capable of playing the female lead in this film. You will have to find someone else."

Upon hearing this, Song Hao was both amused and exasperated.

She never imagined that these people wouldn't dare to play the female lead in "Titanic".

But after thinking about it, I realized it's quite normal.

After all, this role is a classic.

If the performance is not done well, it may be criticized by people across the country and even the world.

None of the female artists under their management were very confident that they could play the role of Ruth well in this film.

With no other option, Song Hao could only continue searching for a suitable actress.

Therefore, he turned his attention to actors from other countries.

After all, the film is based on the real-life European and British people.

If we could find characters that fit the image of the characters in the movie at that time, it might be closer to the core of the story.

It makes it easier for people to resonate with it.

He browses actresses from all over the world online.

Finally, his gaze settled on a young woman named Kate Winslet.

This girl's appearance and temperament perfectly match the image of the Titanic heroine.

Song Hao then contacted Elizabeth Olsen, hoping she could help him reach the actress.

When Elizabeth Olsen learned that Song Hao wanted to cast Kate Winslet in a movie, she immediately helped him find her contact information.

And so, Kate Winslet came to China and met Song Hao for the first time.

The moment they met, Kate Winslet was surprised by the Chinese boy in front of her.

Wow, China has such a handsome young director!
A look of goodwill instantly appeared in her eyes.

A new month!
