The news that Song Hao was filming "Titanic" also reached the mouths of many official departments.

Director Long from the Narcotics Bureau chatted with Director Zhang from the Anti-Fraud Bureau.

Director Long joked, "This kid, he used to make promotional videos and co-produced movies for government departments, but then he ended up making romance films."

Director Zhang laughed as well: "That's normal. After all, that guy is getting on in years, it's time for him to make some romance films and find a girlfriend."

"Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case. This kid is handsome and young, and he has so many award-winning and high-grossing works. He should be one of the top directors in the Chinese film market, but he still doesn't have a girlfriend. I'll have to ask him if he likes women or not someday," Director Long said helplessly.

Director Zhang explained, "Most young people prioritize their careers, which is normal. I have high hopes for this romance film of his, which aims to enter the global box office market."

"Haha, Lao Zhang, when did you start liking romantic movies?"

"I don't like watching romance movies, but Song Hye-kyo's 'Parents' Love' was a really good show, so I was wondering what his next romance movie would be like?"

Director Long nodded: "However, I've seen some viewers online who don't seem to have high hopes for his romance movie, especially since he's even acting in it himself. I wonder how it will turn out."

"Hahaha, I'm really looking forward to his first acting role." Director Zhang said with some satisfaction.

"We've watched this kid grow up together."

"Yes."

The overseas version of "The Battle at Lake Changjin" has grossed over $4832 million.

In particular, the box office figures for the film "The Peninsula" broke the record for domestic films in nearly a year.

Many viewers on the peninsula have been discussing the film since watching it.

After all, the main battlefield of this movie is the land where they live now.

"I really didn't expect that China has such a talented director who can make such a moving film."

"Our soldiers were just like them back then."

"What's the director's name? I need to look up his previous films."

"Don't you know? His name is Song Hao, and he's the most outstanding director in Chinese cinema."

"I remember there was a director in China named Director Zhang. Wasn't he very talented?"

"Times have changed. It's no longer Director Zhang's world. Song Hao now calls the shots in Chinese cinema."

"Is it so powerful?"

"I heard that Director Song is about to shoot a romance film that will be released globally at the same time."

In no time, news about Song Hao spread to countries in East Asia and elsewhere.

They all wanted to see the new movie that Song Hao was preparing to shoot.

However, while Song Hao was filming on the island, a storm quietly arose.

The reason is that, according to statistics, the cumulative box office of "The Battle at Lake Changjin" reached more than 80 billion yuan, both domestically and internationally.

Guoteng Media, as the main investor, accounted for the majority of the box office revenue.

This has left some netizens puzzled.

"These resources and weapons were all arranged by the Ministry of the Army, so why does Song Hao's company still account for the majority of the box office revenue?"

"According to the report, the proportion reaches 20%, which means that they can get close to 15 billion or more. That's terrifying."

"Yes, we are naturally happy that Director Song has made a good movie, but it is obviously inappropriate for him to take the lion's share of the profits when cooperating with government departments."

Some discordant voices also began to emerge.

At this point, the directors and investors who had been targeted by Song Hao also started complaining on alternate accounts.

"Why are Director Song's movies so good? It's because they're so daring. If we had that kind of daring, we could also make good movies. Take 'In the Name of the People' for example. Any director could probably make a good film with it."

"Hahaha, that seems to make sense. The space agency provided a space station model for filming 'The Wandering Earth.' If other directors were to make the film, the model alone would cost 100 million yuan. In other words, any other director might have run into trouble with the space station model."

"That's right. Think about big productions like 'The Battle at Lake Changjin' and 'Operation Red Sea.' Without official weaponry support, how could warships and missiles possibly appear in the movies?"

In recent years, due to Song Hao's presence.

This has also made things difficult for some filmmakers.

Before Song Hao became famous, Huaxia Film and Television was always known for being terrible.

If everyone is bad enough, then not much will happen.

But Song Hao has appeared before everyone with one high-quality work after another, instantly raising the audience's standards.

This has also put companies that rely on traffic-driven markets in a difficult position.

This time, Song Hao took home so much box office revenue, which has already aroused resentment towards the rich among some people.

Being poor is not scary.

I'm afraid you'll become rich.

Therefore, the high box office of "The Battle at Lake Changjin" has led more and more people to question it.

Of course, Song Hao also has a lot of supporters.

Making a good movie and getting high box office returns is only to be expected.

Regardless of how much money they get in commission, as long as the movie is good enough, then for the audience, the money spent on the movie ticket was worthwhile.
They didn't care who got more or less of the movie ticket money.

Some netizens who support Song Hao have also listed a lot of data.

"Have you all forgotten how much box office revenue Director Song donated before?"

"That's right. Didn't Director Song pay for the anti-drug fund and the pensions for the families of martyrs?"

"And they even established an autism foundation. What are you people barking about?"

"Besides, Director Song donated a lot of the box office revenue from the movie 'The Wandering Earth' to invest in the research and development of the aerospace industry."

"Yeah, you guys are just trolls!"

Some malicious online trolls suddenly disappeared amidst the barrage of insults from the public.

This also made netizens realize the truth.

It is highly likely that someone is deliberately smearing Song Hao.

After all, Song Hao is now a top-tier director, and he alone has taken a large slice of the Chinese film and television industry pie.

It's practically making it impossible for anyone else to live.

But it's important to know that Song Hao has another identity.

That was the group leader from the propaganda department of the Army.

Daring to point fingers at officials is like lighting a lamp in a toilet—looking for trouble.

In less than two days.

Some netizens who had previously made inappropriate remarks online have also been successfully apprehended by the police.

[Cai, male, 35 years old, primary school graduate, unemployed, violated public security regulations by making unsubstantiated statements online.]

[Zhang, male, 28 years old, junior high school graduate, self-employed, violated public security regulations by making unsubstantiated statements online.]

These announcements have left netizens sighing with regret.

So these people are unhappy with their own lives, so they bring all sorts of dark sides to their lives.

"Sure enough, I was wondering why there were so many negative comments online. So these people are unhappy with their own lives and spend all their time cursing this and that online?"

"Hahaha, you guys only just realized? I knew a long time ago."

"People are like this nowadays. I think once a real-name system is implemented, there won't be so many problems."

"I think so."

Song Hao during filming.

I naturally learned about this online.

He didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, fame often brings trouble.

The saying "People fear becoming famous, just as pigs fear growing fat" applies here.

He had his assistant send out official messages.

soon.

Guoteng Media then released the latest official news.

Two hundred million yuan of the box office revenue from "The Battle at Lake Changjin" will be donated to the country's national defense.

Upon hearing this news, netizens exclaimed that it demonstrated great vision.

"My goodness, I knew it! Director Song has a great vision."

"That's two hundred million! Director Song wrote the script himself and made the film so seriously, and now he wants to donate all the money he makes."

"If he doesn't love his country, who does?"

"He really did, I cried my eyes out."

"Damn it, if anyone dares to slander Director Song in the future, I'll be the first to object."

It was precisely Song Hao's endearing behavior that made the audience have a more friendly impression of him.

I'm even more looking forward to the movie he's making.

The romantic subplot between Song Hao and Kate Winslet is still ongoing.

There is a famous scene during filming where the male and female leads embrace at the bow of the ship.

"Titanic, Scene 59, Act 4, Begin!"

As the drone filming continued.

The entire cruise ship is moving forward continuously.

As the foreground gets closer.

The male lead, played by Song Hao, is leaning against the bow of the boat, his expression slightly melancholy.

At that moment, Kate Winslet, the female lead, walked up behind him and softly called out, "Hello, Jack."

Upon hearing this, Song Hao turned to look at Kate.

Kate replied, "I've changed my mind."

In fact, Song Hao changed the original plot throughout the entire drama.

In the original movie, the female lead, Rose, was a man's fiancée who, tired of the hypocritical life of high society, did not want to marry Cal and planned to commit suicide by jumping into the sea, but was rescued by Jack.

She soon fell in love with the handsome and cheerful Jack.

Jack takes Rose to a steerage ball and draws her portrait, and their relationship gradually warms up.

Song Hao successfully filmed the portrait scene.

But the premise and background of the entire encounter changed.

In this film, Song Hao portrays the female lead, Ruth, as an upper-class woman who travels by ship to return to her home country with her mother.

Ruth's mother arranged a marriage for her, and although Ruth disagreed, she agreed to meet him for her mother's sake.

Therefore, in the storyline filmed this time, there is no so-called fiancé Carl.

Rose did not have an emotional affair because she fell in love with Jack.

Song Hao believes that this aligns with the traditional Chinese view of love.

So today's shoot was a scene where the two of them revealed their true feelings.

Song Hao looked at her and said, "Give me your hand."

This gentle voice also brought out Kate Winslet's true feelings.

She looked at Song Hao with deep affection.

Song Hao smiled and said, "Close your eyes."

Kate hesitated at first, but in the end she smiled and closed her eyes.

Song Hao took her hand and led her forward slightly.

"Move forward."

Kate, guided by him, slowly took a step forward.

"Now hold onto the railing, don't open your eyes, don't peek."

Kate explained, "I didn't."

And so, Kate stood on the railing at the bow of the boat, feeling the warmth of the sun and the waves.

Song Hao stood behind her, embracing her.

This exciting and blissful scene left the crew members watching on the monitor backstage extremely envious.

"My goodness, it's absolutely gorgeous."

"Yes, this sunset paired with this pose is absolutely stunning."

"I can't resist editing this monitor clip into a promotional video."

Song Hao put his arm around her waist and whispered in her ear, "Do you believe me?"

Kate replied, "I believe you."

Finally, Kate opened her arms and felt the touch of the wind.

Song Hao, with his arm around her waist, watched the scene unfold before him.

The original film used models and green screens when shooting this scene.

There was no real seawater.

But Song Hao was pursuing authenticity.

They chose the exact time of sunset and sailed the luxury cruise ship across the sea. He then embraced Kate, creating this iconic scene.

As a woman, Kate, having experienced so many exciting and novel things, also looked at Song Hao with affection.

This time, Kate turned her head and kissed him.

Song Hao responded gently.

The drone was filming them the whole time, and the footage of the kiss was transmitted to a monitor backstage.

This caused an uproar among the crew members present.

"My goodness, it's so sweet."

"I can not stand it any more."

"Ah, so sweet, so sweet."

"I have a feeling this movie is going to be a huge hit!!"

"I also think so."

After filming the two-and-a-half-minute scene, Song Hao quickly began post-production.

If this movie wants to be promoted...

There must be a lot of publicity and promotion beforehand.

Only by advertising and promoting the film can people pay attention to it.

at the same time.

Director Chen has already completed more than half of the cruise ship model.

Based on the progress, it should be able to be completed ahead of schedule.

Song Hao also took advantage of this time to continue taking photos and produce the promotional trailer for "Titanic".

One night, a promotional video for "Titanic" was quietly released.

When it was posted, many netizens were shocked.

"My God, why did Director Song release a trailer for Titanic?"

"This is too fast."

"Hahaha, I love his speed."

"Indeed, let me see what this promotional video of his is about."

"My main goal is to see how well he performs as the male lead, whether he's just all show and no substance, or a potential movie star whose talent has been wasted by the director!"

When everyone clicked on the video, they immediately saw Song Hao leaning on the railing at the bow of the boat, looking somewhat hesitant.

There seemed to be a hint of uncertainty about the future in his eyes.

Upon seeing this, netizens exclaimed in surprise.

"Wow, Director Song is something else. Just that look in his eyes is enough to keep those young actors practicing for a while."

"Yes, his eyes immediately drew me into the role."

"I never expected Director Song to actually be able to act. I really didn't expect that."

"Let's hurry up and see what happens next in Director Song's story!"

As the camera zooms in, a young and beautiful woman can be clearly seen walking up behind Song Hao.

When the camera focused on them, netizens exclaimed in surprise.

"Wow, the female lead is so beautiful."

"It's the style I like."

"She has a great figure and is incredibly beautiful."

"I'm afraid there's an F."

When netizens saw the female lead call out Song Hao's name, and then the two exchanged a brief glance, they felt that sparks seemed to have already ignited between them.

This makes everyone even more eager for the rest of the story.

Song Hao told Kate to close her eyes, then pushed her forward to the railing.

He stood behind Kate, letting her open her arms and feel the wind carrying her through the air.

Because Song Hao had previously had someone record the song "My Heart Will Go On".

So at that moment, this song started playing.

The female lead opens her arms wide and looks ahead, while the male lead embraces her waist. Accompanied by the song "My Heart Will Go On," the scene immediately moved many viewers.

"My God, this is the kind of love I've always wanted."

"I'm about to cry, okay? I really didn't expect Director Song to be able to shoot such beautiful scenes."

"Just for this one shot, I'd go to the cinema and buy a movie ticket."

"That's what I think too. I'll bring my girlfriend with me then."

"Damn it, he actually has a girlfriend? What's the point of looking at a girlfriend? Isn't it better to just hold her in bed?"

It was precisely the iconic promotional scene from "Titanic" that instantly went viral across the internet.

More and more netizens are beginning to look forward to Song Hao's new romance film.

Those netizens who were skeptical of Song Hao's acting skills have started to prove wrong.

After all, judging from the two-minute-plus promotional trailer, Song Hao's eyes and movements definitely reflect the experience of a professional veteran actor.

Although these two minutes or so can't prove anything, they have raised the bar for many people's expectations.

This has led many to anticipate the final product.

soon.

The shipyard has already built a 1:1 scale model of the Titanic.

So it only has an exterior, with almost no interior.

But that doesn't matter, because the task of this model is simply to sink.

So, in the center of a huge circular pool, with Song Hao's command...

Everyone saw the luxury cruise ship slowly sinking.

Meanwhile, more than two thousand tourist extras screamed and ran across the bed boards, searching for a way to escape.

Lifeboats also came in handy at this time.

However, these lifeboats can only carry women, the elderly, and children.

Song Hao looked at the extras on the boat, then said to them through the walkie-talkie, "Actors wearing white life jackets, jump directly into the water."

The extras in white clothes wearing headphones jumped into the water in a panic after learning of Song Hao's plan.

at this time.

More than ten cameras were filming.

Furthermore, the drones also recorded the postures of each diver.

The goal is to select the best scenario.

After filming the diving scene, Song Hao immediately shouted, "Cut! Rescue team, hurry up! Ship model team, stop immediately!"

And just like that, the ship model immediately stopped sinking.

The crew's lifeguards immediately set sail to rescue the extras who were in the water.

Because this is a single ship model, it can only be sunk once.

Therefore, Song Hao would stop the ship model from sinking after each scene was filmed in order to adjust for better shooting.

This rigorous attitude greatly pleased Director Chen and others involved in shipbuilding.

At least they didn't waste their time.

After nearly three days of filming, Song Hao finally finished shooting all the famous scenes before the sinking of the Titanic.

He then led the film crew back to the ship model.

Bow deck.

Many people were running around in a panic.

To keep everyone calm, the four violinists continued playing.

Until a violinist was bumped into, he said somewhat helplessly, "What's the use? Nobody's listening anymore."

The lead musician, however, said, "No one listens during meals either, so I have to keep playing to avoid getting cold."

His words inspired others to pick up their violins again.

"Orpheus in the Underworld".

Suddenly, cheerful music began to play.

At this moment, Song Hao and Kate appeared.

As he led Kate by the hand through the musicians, he couldn't resist quipping, "If a shipwreck has music playing, I must be in first class."

That's exactly what happened.

In the following scene, the lead musician tells the other three to flee for their lives, while he chooses to sacrifice himself for art.

He looked at the others and said, "That's settled then."

One of the Mediterranean musicians patted him on the shoulder and said, "Goodbye, Wall, and good luck."

Goodbye, Wallace.

"Goodbye, old friend."

Meanwhile, the musician, calming his panicked emotions, continued playing with his eyes closed.

The Mediterranean musician named Wallace, after watching him play, eventually chose to join him.

He dedicated himself to art.

that's it.

The remaining two people did not leave either.

They were willing to dedicate their final moments to music.

People around them were running away, while the four of them stood still, playing their violins.

As the music of "Closer to the Lord" played, it was both sorrowful and awe-inspiring.

As the ship sank, it seemed as if nothing concerned them.

The four of them were immersed in the ocean of music, as if they were no longer afraid of death.

"Crack!"

Song Hao immediately stood up and praised, "Teachers, you performed this part very well. You perfectly expressed the indifference to life and the dedication to music and art."

These four violinists are also veteran actors. When they learned that Song Hao needed an actor who could play the violin, they contacted him immediately.

Song Hao didn't even have them audition; he directly involved them in the filming of the main movie.

Now that I see it, it certainly didn't disappoint him.

This iconic scene also contributed to the contrasting shots in "Titanic".

Everyone else was running away, but these four violinists chose to stand and finish their art.

After filming this scene, Song Hao looked at Zhang Hanyu and said, "The next part of the story is yours."

Zhang Han was already prepared at this moment.

He looked down at the seawater on his knees and slowly walked toward the control room of the Titanic.

In the control room, Zhang Hanyu carefully stroked the steering wheel.

He looked outside at the Titanic, which was about to sink.

He was plunged into deep self-blame and pain.

Yes, it was precisely because of his arrogance and pride that the Titanic was destroyed in his hands.

This is why more than two thousand tourists are now in dire straits.

His eyes were moist.

With a gunshot, it seemed everyone already knew the captain's fate.

At last.

The Titanic's hull model is sinking day by day.

The filming of the scenes is gradually coming to an end.

With all the ship models submerged in the water, filming for the entire movie finally wrapped up.

The three-and-a-half-month filming period can be described as creating a miracle that shocked everyone.

After Song Hao posted the news that filming for "Titanic" had wrapped up online.

Hollywood immediately released three announcements that filming had wrapped.

[The film "Little Lion" has been completed and will be released globally simultaneously soon.]

[The movie "Superpower Space" will be released globally soon. Please stay tuned.]

[The action film "I Am the Killer," directed by Peele, has successfully wrapped filming and will be released globally soon.]

As soon as these three messages came out, netizens immediately sensed a hint of danger!

This is clearly aimed at Song Hao!
