The anti-fraud bureau needs a promotional video, and you're going to make a "Desperate Gam

Not only that.

This film achieved an astonishing 73.4% screening rate in China, while the combined screening rate of other films released at the same time barely reached 26.5%, a figure that is simply unbelievable.

Despite such a high screening rate, director Song Hao's new film achieved an astonishing 85% occupancy rate.

This means that, across the country, in cinemas showing "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," an average of 85% of the seats were filled by audiences, even in cinemas in remote areas.

Such data directly broke the all-time record for the highest attendance, which is truly astonishing.

Netizens were amazed by the data.

"He's amazing! No wonder he's director Song. He's only one step away from achieving a grand slam of all the records in the film industry. I really look forward to that day, and I also hope that director Song can continue to bring us more and better works."

“Excellent films deserve excellent results, and Director Song’s films deserve such treatment and results. Those directors who are envious of Director Song’s works should spend their time thinking about how to improve the quality of their own works.”

"I have to admire Director Song. Such data is simply unbelievable. Many records in the film industry are now held by Director Song's films. He truly deserves to be called the number one director in China."

All the data about this film from abroad has been compiled.

At the same time, because this work is a Chinese production, it did not receive a high number of screenings overseas.

However, even under these conditions, the total box office on the first day of its overseas premiere still reached $5 million, which is an astonishing 30 billion yuan.

When this figure was released, film companies around the world were stunned; they simply couldn't have imagined such high box office returns.

If this trend continues, Star Wars: The Force Awakens could very well surpass Avatar in total box office revenue.

While the entire internet was buzzing about the movie, Song Hao quietly stayed in his hotel.

Although Song Hao has made achievements in the film industry, and his "The Wandering Earth" is hailed as a "groundbreaking" work that inspired moviegoers to protect nature and left a profound "innovative" mark on the global film industry, it seems to lack depth in terms of the work's connotation, story depth, and exploration value.

The same situation applies to "Titans". Although it may be regarded as a classic by many movie fans, it seems to lack some depth when analyzed from the perspective of story and meaning.

Not to mention those world-class directors who are far behind Song Hao in box office revenue but still refuse to admit defeat.

Therefore, Song Hao decided to put a movie on the filming schedule.

That's The Shawshank Redemption!
This movie is absolutely a household name!
The story takes place in 1947, where banker Andy is accused of shooting his wife and her lover. Andy is sentenced to life imprisonment, which means he will spend the rest of his life in Shawshank Prison.

Red smiled and said to Andy, "You've come to the right place. Everyone here is innocent."

The banker who murdered his wife was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of his wife and her lover.

Despite being imprisoned in Shawshank Prison, he vehemently denied everything.

After a trial, the prisoners were found guilty and imprisoned.

Only by transforming yourself into a better person here can you leave.

Prison is a place to punish them, but also a place to redeem them.

But if they want to be truly redeemed, they must first admit their sins.

In Catholic doctrine, based on the degree of violation of love, human evils are classified into the seven deadly sins: pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony, and lust.

Humans are born with original sin.

But people don't feel guilty, just like in Shawshank, where the prisoners all believed they were innocent.

This world is undoubtedly a giant prison, and outside the walls lies freedom, happiness, and love.

We were all locked in Shawshank. We spent our entire lives looking out at the world, yet we never repented.

Song Hao only made some "localization" adjustments to the script, since the original script was set abroad, which is very different from the domestic situation.

With Star Wars now a box office hit, The Shawshank Redemption can be put on the agenda immediately.

When Song Hao said that he would immediately start making a profound film.

Not only the whole of China, but the whole world has gone mad.

Keep in mind, his movie has only been released for a short time.

Are they going to make another movie?
Meanwhile, Song Hao has already contacted the local government.

They rented an abandoned prison facility.

It's worth noting that using prison scenes for filming TV series or movies is nothing new in China.
But Song Hao's act of directly using an entire prison is not only unprecedented in China, but also in the world!
As the vehicle stopped at the prison gate, Director Liang, the person in charge, quickly walked over with his men.

He had already extended his hand from a distance, and said with a light laugh, "Director Song, I've long admired your name."

Song Hao didn't mean to be negligent and went up to shake hands: "Director Liang, thank you so much for your help this time."

Director Liang chuckled and shook his head, giving Song Hao a subtle once-over, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

When I first heard of Song Hao, he was filming an anti-fraud propaganda film.

Results now.

In just a few short years, Song Hao has risen to prominence like a rocket!
His current global influence and domestic status alone have already made Director Liang take him very seriously.

soon.

Song Hao then went to the conference room and held a meeting with everyone involved in the storyline.

Song Hao sat on one side of the conference table; this time, he would personally play the male lead.

At the same time, many veteran actors from China were invited to lend their support.

The actors are engrossed in their final script reading, going over the plot from beginning to end in an effort to deliver a perfect performance.

To achieve the best cinematic effect, Song Hao cleverly designed different versions of the script, with each character having a different script.

All the suspense and foreshadowing will be laid out quietly in the shadows until the final summer, when the actors discover by chance that narrow passage—the escape route that "Shaw Shen" spent nearly twenty years digging—and everything will be revealed.

This technique of cleverly setting up foreshadowing in the script was, in the eyes of the assistant director who knew everything, a visual feast.

He held the complete script in his hand, his gaze shifting between the actors and Song Hao, his heart filled with admiration.

He had tried similar shooting techniques before, but none of them could compare to Song Hao's ingenious arrangement this time.

Song Hao's personally written script and meticulous design of each character's script not only demonstrated his profound creative skills, but also enabled the actors to deliver the most authentic and impactful performances during filming.

They eagerly anticipate the moment when filming will allow them to perfectly capture the brilliant moments from the script.

However, when everyone learned that Song Hao was going to film a prison movie...

I was suddenly puzzled.

Can prison films have depth? (End of Chapter)
