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

Chang Weisi's words prompted Wang Miao to ponder deeply, a topic that can be considered eternal.

There must be things in this world that science cannot explain.

This is a chilling intellectual achievement.

When General Chang uttered these words, his image was fully established. He possessed the strategic thinking of a leader with foresight and was already prepared for battle.

Humanity's battle began here with Chang Weisi.

All of this was subtly hidden by the director in the details, allowing the audience to experience it for themselves.

It is because of the unremitting efforts of generations that this world has become so colorful.

Human beings are also a miracle of nature.

But does a creator truly exist in this world? What kind of existence is the high-latitude region relative to the low-latitude region?

This is why some scientists are willing to acknowledge the existence of a creator in this world.

In a constantly changing world, nothing is absolutely impossible.

Putting aside preconceived notions, do events with zero probability really exist?

Following up on the topic, Wang Miao continued, "But aren't most people like that?"

"Most of those people are simply born out of chance!"

"What about all those generations before them? They went through the same thing."

"It's all just a coincidence!"

Chang Weisi's words were like thunder in the ears.

Isn't the entire human world itself a kind of accident?

Sitting in the director's chair, Song Hao frowned, staring intently at the screen, carefully attending to every detail of the actors' performances.

In the ensuing dialogue, actor Wang Zhenshan delivered a textbook-worthy performance.

From the Neolithic Age to the present day, spanning millennia.

But so far, it has not encountered any major changes, which is a kind of luck.

Since it's luck, it will eventually come to an end.

"I'm informing you now that this good fortune is over. Be prepared."

Chang Weisi, in the most calm tone, revealed a shocking truth.

The birth of humankind, and indeed the birth of every individual, is a matter of chance.

Perhaps in the concept of the universe, thousands of years are like a fleeting moment.

In a higher-dimensional culture, a lower-dimensional culture is like an ant in the world.

The whole thing becomes terrifying when individuals begin to re-examine humanity.

Humanity's primal fear stems from the unknown.

The scene ends with Wang Miao and Chang Weisi looking at each other.

"Everyone is in good shape. Let's keep one run and go through it again."

The makeup crew rushed forward to touch up the makeup, while Song Hao continued to scrutinize the scene, determined to unlock the potential of each actor. With this scene, the production of *The Three-Body Problem* officially began.

The exciting chapter has officially begun, and what follows includes, but is not limited to, exciting plots such as Wang Miao logging into the Three-Body game, the Red Coast Past, the Human-Computer Array, the Three-Day Link, the Three-Body Problem, the Elimination of Human Tyranny, and the Guzheng Operation.

The story of Earth's past is rich, but it is not the climax of The Three-Body Problem.

Even more chilling stories await.

Yu Wei, who plays Shi Qiang, walked off the stage and wanted to smoke a cigarette.

He subconsciously reached into his pocket, glanced at Chen Yi, paused for a moment, then pulled his hand out, ultimately not lighting the cigarette.

Song Hao was rehearsing a scene with actor Wang Zhenshan at this moment.

The focus of this scene is on Wang Zhenshan, who is responsible for leading the entire performance.

Striving for perfection, the three actors delivered outstanding performances every time. This scene was filmed seven times before Song Hao was satisfied.

"Detail maniac."

"What are the essential differences between these different versions of the play?"

"There are still differences. Director Song Hao has a unique and keen perception of film."

"That's true. I guess only Ye She could figure out what Director Song is thinking."

It has been confirmed that, in order to maintain the integrity of the story, the Three-Body Problem movie will be filmed as three parts: Earth's Past, The Dark Forest, and Death's End.

To paraphrase Zhang EMO's catchphrase, this idea is quite bold.

On the very first day of filming, Song Hao had already foreseen the future.

In terms of scale, each Three-Body Problem film is at least three hours long.

The last film, in particular, may reach an astonishing four hours in length, potentially setting a new record for the longest film by Song Hao.

But on second thought, if it's such a space epic, why not?

Throughout the entire day of filming, Zhang Yi, president of the Film Association, stayed at the back of the set to visit the crew.

The filming was intense, with no breaks throughout the entire day.

No wonder industry insiders say that Song Hao's film crew had the toughest time.

That statement makes sense. It seems everyone in the crew is incredibly busy. Zhang Yi walked over and patted Song Hao on the shoulder, "Very efficient."

"I've gotten used to it. The key thing is that these teachers have helped me a lot."

They are all veteran actors, so filming is naturally a breeze for them.

For example, Yu Wei, a national first-class actor who plays Shi Qiang.

"How's the Hong Kong Film Support Fund you've been supporting doing lately?" Teacher Yu asked Song Hao. After Infernal Affairs officially finished its theatrical run, calculations showed that the film's post-production copyright fees alone reached nine figures!
Song Hao kept his word and invested half of the net profits from the two films into the Hong Kong Film Support Fund.

This funding serves two purposes: firstly, it provides prize money; secondly, it supports newcomers in making independent films, creating more possibilities for Hong Kong cinema.

Including the profits of the distributors and the director himself, half of the total reached an astonishing 500 million!
Song Hao is arguably the highest-earning director in all of China.

The seamless integration of commerce and art is unprecedented and will likely remain so. Many believe that one day, Song Hao will become the first director in world film history to bring his total box office earnings to the hundreds of billions.

"Well, it's been handled quite well; several films are already in independent production."

The Hong Kong Film Support Fund is a project of Clear Vision, a company under Song Hao.

This also serves as a guarantee for these films, giving audiences the courage to go to the cinema when they see Clear Vision and Clear Film Studio.

Invest in your dreams.

If you have talent, you can give it a try.

A clear vision doesn't care about your background.

They don't even care about the specific profits of the film, as long as they can make a film that contributes to the industry.

From the very beginning, Song Hao had no intention of taking back the original funds.

"So fast? You were the one who finalized those projects."

The more famous a director is, the more they need to cherish their reputation. Professor Li was worried that his students had invested in several bad projects, which would damage his own reputation.

That would be a waste of time.

Most of the project management was handled by his assistant, Luo Na. However, Song Hao personally oversaw every single project.

Because of his respect for art, Song Hao did not invest all his money in commercial films. The first three projects he launched were all independent films.

"Made in Hong Kong" directed by Benny Chan.

"Platform" directed by Jia Lin.

"East, West, South, North" directed by Yunlong.

All three were newcomers who were just about to enter the directing industry.

Their films, even in their titles, exude a strong experimental feel.

Due to the shrinking Hong Kong market, even excellent scripts struggle to secure ideal funding. For example, "Hong Kong Production" remained hidden for an unknown period before being discovered, and director Benny Chan almost gave up on the script.

Song Hao's Hong Kong Support Fund provided tremendous assistance.

These three films are just the beginning, not the end.

To Song Hao's surprise, these three films, which seemed unlikely to generate much buzz, would later shine brightly at international film festivals.

It was an unexpected but positive outcome.

Filming of The Three-Body Problem is in full swing, and even with the Film Association giving it the green light, there are still all sorts of problems waiting for the director to solve.

In the first book of *The Three-Body Problem*, a significant portion of the plot involves Wang Miao logging into the Three-Body game multiple times and experiencing a series of wondrous encounters. The initial filming location was chosen in the Northwest region.

Despite the harsh environment in the Northwest region, every member of the crew possessed unwavering perseverance.

Filming was arduous, but we persevered.

Just as filming was about to begin, unfortunate news came from Clear Vision Film Production Company in Beijing.

The electric sailing workshop is facing a shortage of funds.

To achieve the special effects that Song Hao desired, dozens of professional computers were used simultaneously, making it even more expensive than the previous Titanic.

Each computer costs seven figures to manufacture, and in total, the initial costs alone have already reached tens of millions.

The film utilizes both CG and live-action techniques in many places.

For example, this technique was used in the scene where Wang Miao is playing billiards.

There are many other similar high-end technologies, all aimed at presenting the film's effects more perfectly.

The electric sailing workshop has expanded from a few dozen people to over a hundred.

Since the Three-Body Problem project was officially established with the Film Association, every member of Electric Sail Studios has been working day and night.

After four months, Electric Sail encountered a funding shortage.

Great industrial films are often produced with massive budgets. Because of this, all ongoing projects had to be suspended.

Even if you get the green light all the way through when applying for funding from the film association, it will still take some time.

Song Hao made a decision immediately.

"Report the situation to Qiangsheng Group first."

"I'll fill any gaps in funding later."

The film encountered a funding shortage as soon as it started filming.

The Three-Body Problem project is indeed extremely expensive. Recalling my previous life, Tencent Video spent a whopping 3 billion yuan on the Three-Body Problem TV series, and that was only for the first season.

That also takes courage.

Looking back at China, the investments made by Qiangsheng Group were all in the tens of millions, and they were already investments in A-list films.

The film was in the midst of a funding shortage.

Upon learning of this situation, Qiangsheng Group felt extremely alarmed.

"Has the entire investment been used up in less than a month?"

"Several hundred million yuan, all spent on props? Really?"

"Possibly, absolutely not."

"This problem has already arisen. By the end of filming, it's unimaginable how much funding the Three Kingdoms will receive." (End of Chapter)
