Chapter 245: Avatar is out! It's shaking the entire international acting market! (Please subscribe)
Those present never expected to see a Chinese film win an award at the Oscars after such a long time.

Moreover, it won five major awards.

Although there were three awards, they were just appetizers.

However, this is in comparison to the major awards such as Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor.

It's worth noting that, looking at the entire film industry, how many films can actually win an Oscar?

From a professional's perspective, Titanic certainly grabbed a lot of attention tonight.

This also angered Hollywood executives.

They were clearly not satisfied with only two of their films winning awards this year.

In addition, it still lost to Titanic.

They felt that the Oscar committee's selection process this time was unfair.

Chairman Philip even believes that the organizing committee did this entirely to cater to the Chinese market.

Of course, faced with such an outcome, he had no choice but to accept it calmly.

However, as a high-ranking leader in Hollywood, Chairman Phil naturally made more detailed preparations for the upcoming film plans.

He knew that if he didn't take action against Song Hao from China, the international film market might very well be divided up by Chinese films.

By then, Song Hao may become the face of Hollywood cinema.

This was clearly unacceptable to Chairman Philip.

The news that Song Hao had won five Oscars quickly spread throughout China.

Many netizens on the internet are very excited.

"Director Song is really awesome."

"Yes, I never thought that Director Song would win more than five Oscars."

"I thought Director Song would be a runner-up this time."

"What a joke! Director Song's Titanic is so amazing, and it's already in the top three at the box office. If the Oscar committee doesn't give him an award, then it's a dereliction of duty on the part of the committee."

"What a pity, why didn't Director Song win Best Director? Why?"

"Actually, this is just the organizing committee's subtle manipulation, aimed at pleasing these North American film companies."

"Despite the fact that North American film companies, such as Hollywood, have not produced a very representative film in the past year."

"But the organizing committee still has to give a major award to their own local film, otherwise it might cause unnecessary trouble."

"Indeed, if 'Call Me Killer' hadn't been released at the same time as Director Song's 'Titanic,' it might have actually achieved a higher box office."

"Hahaha, Hollywood originally wanted to target Director Song, but unexpectedly, every cloud has a silver lining."

"I think Director Song should continue to shoot some international blockbusters. Only in this way can he continue to consolidate his international status."

"OP, we think alike!"

At this moment, Song Hao, having won five Oscars, has also attracted the attention of many local media outlets in North America.

He even appeared on a North American TV show for it.

In the program, the host greatly admired his filming talent.

Many people present were also amazed by his box office success.

After the interview, he returned to China.

When I got off the plane, almost all the mainstream media in China were waiting outside the airport.

"Director Song, you've won five Oscars this time, which is quite a record. What are your thoughts?"

Song Hao replied with a smile, "Actually, I don't have any particular thoughts. I just want to say that as a filmmaker, I still need to keep working hard."

"The movie '800' has now grossed 41 billion yuan. Does that meet your expectations for the film?"

Song Hao explained: "Whether the movie 800 meets my expectations or not is not important. What is important is that it has grossed 41 billion yuan at the box office. To some extent, it has fulfilled everyone's expectations for the movie. It can be seen that the audience likes the movie 800 very much, both in terms of its quality and its main theme."

"So, Director Song, which movie will you be directing next? Will you be putting 'The Battle at Lake Changjin 2' or 'The Wandering Earth 2' on the agenda?"

Song Hao thought for a moment and finally said, "Probably, but I'm not sure yet. I'm too tired and need to rest more before making any plans for the next filming."

After the interview, Song Hao returned to his company.

According to his plan, after finishing filming the movie "800", he did start preparing for "The Battle at Lake Changjin 2" or "The Wandering Earth 2".

But it was at this time that Chairman Chen Daoming found himself.

"Xiao Song, congratulations on winning the Oscar!" Chairman Chen Daoming said cheerfully.

Song Hao expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, Chairman Chen."

"I'm no longer the president; you're the president now. You need to be careful," Chen Daoming reminded him.

“Okay, Teacher Chen,” Song Hao said with a smile.

Chen Daoming then continued, "So what are your plans for the future?"

Song Hao replied, "Are you talking about movies? I'm thinking of putting either 'The Battle at Lake Changjin 2' or 'The Wandering Earth 2' on the agenda next."

Upon hearing this, Chen Daoming pondered for a moment.

Song Hao knew that Chen must have something to remind him when he called, so he took the initiative to ask, "Teacher Chen, do you have any thoughts on this?"

Chen Daoming said on the other end of the phone: "Actually, this is what I think. You can indeed start preparing for The Battle at Lake Changjin 2 or The Wandering Earth 2 now, but I personally think that your film, Titanic, won an Oscar, which is the best time to break into the international market. If you make another big-budget international production, I think it will greatly consolidate your international status."

Chen Daoming's words made Song Hao think seriously.

He's right, the whole world is watching us now.

As a giant in the international film industry, Hollywood will undoubtedly send out more big-budget productions in the future.

If I were to spend one or two years filming Changjin Lake 2 or The Wandering Earth 2, I could do so.

Although both types of films are guaranteed to perform well at the box office in mainland China.

However, these two films were not as well-received in the international market.

The Wandering Earth 2 might be a bit better, since it belongs to the science fiction genre.

Everyone loves watching it.

However, Chosin Reservoir 2 will resonate with audiences in East Asia in a special way, but moviegoers in other regions will not have the same feeling.

Making an international film like "Titanic" would be a good option.

Therefore, Song Hao took Chen Daoming's words to heart.

After hanging up the phone, he began to think about international films. If he were to come up with a film that would shock the entire world...

Furthermore, the current 3D technology used in movies worldwide is not yet particularly sophisticated.

Perhaps Avatar would be a good choice.

It's worth noting that Avatar, a science fiction film directed by James Cameron, grossed $27 billion.

From a business perspective, the filming cost alone reached $5 million, and the expenses for publicity and distribution during this period were enormous.

Of course, from a commercial perspective, the returns were also considerable. Although it only won two minor awards at the Oscars, the success of the film cannot be denied.

The primary reason for the success of Avatar is undoubtedly the appeal of its script.

The story unfolds between reality and the illusion of the future, exploring human greed, the beauty of a secluded paradise, and the allure of love. Against the backdrop of the financial crisis, this film provides a spiritual refuge for those powerless to change their reality.

Ordinary people, simple stories, and a non-existent planet like Pandora—yet this film has garnered recognition from audiences worldwide.

Song Hao knew that the script was quite well-written.

Moreover, the technological breakthroughs in this film are also very important.

The system uses two Sony HDCF950HD cameras to create a three-dimensional, realistic environment. It employs a self-developed 3D camera system.

The independently developed advanced stereo camera, perfect preview technology during shooting, and "motion capture" in collaboration with the working camera can record fleeting expressions and allow for free camera movement in the CG world.

Today, in the entire film market.

Many directors do not use such cameras for filming.

It not only consumes materials, but also wastes time.

This has also led to a standstill in the development of true IMAX 3D movies.

Cameron also invested heavily in promoting this film.

With a budget of $3.5 million and marketing and distribution costs of $1.5 million, totaling $5 million, it has been dubbed "the most expensive film in history."

Coupled with the influence of Fox Film Corporation at the time, the publicity and production of a large company was itself a powerful form of promotion, and the production itself featured excellent planning and production.

Avatar attracts audiences with its storyline, stunning scenery, bizarre animal models, and unknown planets, all of which entice viewers to watch the film.

Now, if Song Hao also uses the latest 3D technology to produce the film, and displays it on an IMAX screen for the audience in theaters.

With such a powerful visual impact, he believed that the resulting box office miracle would be no less than that of "Titanic".

He then called Director Zhao of the Army Department. When Song Hao told Director Zhao about his idea, the director immediately expressed his support: "That's right, I think your idea is very correct. It should be like this. Now that you have won an Oscar, you should make another international blockbuster and then attack the international market. As for Changjin Lake 2, there is no rush. I have already started to contact the official departments to make arrangements according to your requirements. As long as you finish filming your movie, you can start filming whenever you want."

"Okay, thank you, Director Zhao."

"Look at what you're saying! Keep it up and bring glory to Chinese cinema!" Director Zhao encouraged.

And so, Song Hao decided to take this opportunity to enter the international market.

So he posted a message on Weibo.

[Hello everyone, many people have been asking about my upcoming film plans. I originally intended to put The Wandering Earth 2 and The Battle at Lake Changjin on the agenda, but I feel I should make a film with a wider audience. My next project will be a true 3D international film, so please stay tuned.]

When netizens saw this sentence, the comments section exploded instantly.

Song Hao's news was like a meteorite falling into the sea, stirring up huge waves and instantly igniting the internet.

"Director Song has finally returned, and his appearance brought such amazing good news. I am excited again because another great film is about to be released."

"As expected, Director Song is destined to enter the international stage. If so, then this 3D sci-fi blockbuster directed by Director Song will fill the gap in domestic themes. We are grateful to have a team like Director Song to bring glory to the country."

"Unbelievable! This is amazing. Director Song is sure to create a timeless classic. I must support him and pre-order 10 tickets to watch the movie with my family and friends."

"Director Song is awesome! My expectations are off the charts! Director Song is a god forever!"

"Director Song's upcoming 3D sci-fi blockbuster will undoubtedly prove to the world that science fiction is not a weak point for China. The previous shortcomings were simply because Director Song had not yet taken the lead. Once Director Song makes his move, it will surely shock the world. I can't wait to imagine the scenes that will amaze the world in this movie."

Just as Song Hao announced his upcoming 3D sci-fi blockbuster, his assistant told him that many people had come to contact the company.

"Nearly 30 top-tier celebrities in China are looking for a suitable role."

"Not only domestic stars, but also many international movie stars. Here is a message from Morgan Freeman, take a look."

Song Hao naturally knew Freeman, but he didn't expect him to personally send him a message.

[Director Song, hello, I'm Morgan Freeman. I heard you're going to direct an international science fiction blockbuster. I wonder if I could have the honor of acting in your film.]

Song Hao is very familiar with this Black actor.

No matter what role he plays, he always gives people the illusion that he is the one in a movie they see and suddenly realize he is also playing a role in it. Suddenly, the unfamiliar feels very familiar.

His most famous works include "Driving Miss Daisy" and "Seven".

Not only Morgan Freeman, but Will Smith also called personally.

"Hello, Director Song Hao, I am Will Smith. You may not have heard of me."

Song Hao laughed and said, "No, no, no, I have Will Smith's name firmly in my mind."

Will Smith sounded quite surprised on the other end of the phone: "Wow, it seems you've seen my movies."

"That's natural."

“I heard you’re going to shoot a 3D sci-fi movie. If there’s a suitable role for me, I’m ready to come anytime.”

"Okay, then it's settled."

The assistant was quite surprised by this phenomenon.

She asked Song Hao, "Director Song, this is too exaggerated. These top international stars are actually taking the initiative to ask you for roles."

“The fact that I was able to win five awards at the Oscars is enough to demonstrate my ability. They also know that Titanic grossed $24 billion at the box office. If it makes another foray into the international market, it won’t be too bad. This is a great opportunity to boost my value,” Song Hao explained.

However, he did not choose actors randomly, but rather based them on the suitability of the role.

Everyone had to come for an audition, and only those who truly fit the role could stay for filming.

As a result, dozens of celebrities and stars showed up for the interview.

This terrified the staff on site.

"Zhang Hanyu, Jin Chen, Wang Chuanjun, Ni Ni, Liu Shuangshi"

Morgan Freeman, Kate Winslet, Jason Statham, Will Smith

A young woman who had just joined the company started trembling when she saw the large cast of actors.

She took a picture and posted it online.

The moment the photo was released, the comments section exploded online!
Could this be the strongest cast movie ever?!
