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

Chapter 42: Filming Wrapped Up!! (Please read on! A must-read!)
Song Hao knew that as a cultural tourism promotional video, if it wasn't promoted in advance, its reputation would have to rely on the quality of the film to improve its reputation.

But it's different now.

He could have released a theme song first.

If we were to choose a song based on the movie "The Flowers of War", then "Red Dress" would undoubtedly be the best choice.

"Red Actress" is a song that tells the heroic story of a group of patriotic actors who died together with the enemy during the War of Resistance against Japan.

The story takes place in 26. The enemy occupied Anyuan County, and some of the enemy leaders demanded that the famous actors of Anyuan County Grand Theater perform a play for their soldiers, or they would kill the people.

In the theater, there was a famous singer named Pei Yanzhi who sang very well. For the sake of the people of the whole city, he secretly planned what would happen next.

The opera he chose was "The Peach Blossom Fan," and he wanted to play Li Xiangjun, a woman who dared to love and hate.

Just as the enemies were watching with amusement, "Li Xiangjun" on the stage shouted "Light the fire!"

He burned all the enemies who came to watch the opera to death with a fire.

The fire spread rapidly, and the enemy cried out in alarm, trying to escape, but the theater's windows and doors had already been sealed shut.

In the end, Pei Yanzhi and his fellow disciples perished together with their enemies amidst the flames.

Song Hao knew that the story was most likely fictional, but there were indeed similar people and events in Chinese history.

Everyone knows this is a story, and everyone knows that China has this kind of spirit.

Since Song Hao wasn't a musician in his previous life, it took him a long time to copy down the lyrics.

Later, through Zhang Yixing's introduction, he met a composer named Chen Sheng.

When Chen Sheng learned that Song Hao wanted to compose a traditional Chinese style song and had even written lyrics, he was quite interested.

He glanced at the lyrics, and soon after, Chen Sheng looked at Song Hao with surprise.

Chen Sheng quickly asked, "Director Song, did you write this?"

Song Hao nodded.

Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng found it even more unbelievable.

He read the manuscript a couple more times, carefully savoring its meaning.

Seeing this, Zhang Yixing asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Is there a problem with the lyrics?"

"No, no problem," Chen Sheng said excitedly. "These lyrics are fantastic, Xiao Xing, haven't you seen them?"

"No." As he spoke, Zhang Yixing glanced at the score, and a few seconds later, he laughed and put his arm around Song Hao, saying, "Oh my, Director Song, you're really amazing."

Song Hao smiled and said, "I don't understand music at all, I don't even know do-re-mi-fa-sol, but I can hum a tune."

He looked at Chen Sheng and asked, "If I sing this song, can you compose the music?"

"Of course!" Chen Sheng immediately handed him the score and waited patiently.

Song Hao then began to sing.

In this process.

Zhang Yixing and Chen Sheng listened attentively throughout the entire process.

It's clear that Song Hao has no musical training.

He didn't even raise his voice.

Someone who can't even sing do-re-mi-fa-sol can still come up with a new song.

Zhang Yixing posted the video of Song Hao singing in the WeChat group.

Jin Chen: [Wow, our Director Song is actually singing!]

Zhou Shibao: [I must say, Brother Hao, this song is actually quite good.]

Wang Chuanjun: [Why haven't I heard this song before? Is it a new song?]

Zhang Yixing immediately typed a reply: "Can you believe this is the theme song Director Song composed for his new film, *The Flowers of War*? The key point is that he knows absolutely nothing about music, yet he can still sing the melody."

Zhang Yixing: [He's simply a god, incredibly talented!!]

While typing, Song Hao stopped singing halfway through.

He said to Chen Sheng, "This part needs to be sung in a Peking Opera style, but I don't know how at all, so I won't sing it. Can you compose this piece based on the song I sang earlier?" "No problem, give me a day, and I'll send you the demo then," Chen Sheng said confidently.

Song Hao nodded and then said, "It's okay, no need to rush."

Before leaving, he looked at Zhang Yixing again and asked, "By the way, do you know any singers who sing in the style of traditional Chinese opera? The kind that uses traditional Chinese style."

"Director Song, I'll go look for it for you," Zhang Yixing replied.

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you."

Because Song Hao didn't understand music, yet he was able to sing a new song, Zhang Yixing and others admired him even more.

Zhang Yixing even wondered if he could ask Song Hao for a song someday.

However, Song Hao said that he is not good at singing or writing lyrics at all.

But no one else believed it, because they had already seen the video in the WeChat group and witnessed Song Hao's ability to write new songs.

Song Hao could only explain it by using the magical image of a dream.

After all, he really can't sing, let alone write songs.

I was able to memorize the song "Red-Clad Ladies" because I listened to it so many times.

Thinking about this, Song Hao couldn't help but marvel at his system.

If this could be applied not only to scripts but also to songs, then it would be a double success in both arts and literature.

However, being too versatile is not a good thing. For now, it's better for him to focus on acting.

After all, I was tired of being an actor in my past life, so being a famous director in this life isn't bad either.

Filming for "The Flowers of War" is nearing its end.

Today is the final scene.

Twelve women, plus a cross-dressing man, are to dress up as students and take the place of the children in the enemy's camp.

Before leaving, they sang "The Scenery of Qinhuai" together.

Before filming this scene, everyone was very somber.

Although the filming wrapped up as soon as the scene was finished.

But the actors showed no sign of relaxation.

Facing the camera, with expressions of contentment even in death, they sang "The Scenery of Qinhuai".

Those scenes not only drew the actors into their roles, but also moved the staff off-screen to a state of sadness.

As the top performer of the Qinhuai River Opera, Ni Ni's performance of "Qinhuai Scenery" was the best among all the actors, both in terms of facial expressions and movements.

Everyone else thought it was because Ni Ni was beautiful and had a good foundation, and that she was the female lead.

But only Song Hao knew that Ni Ni truly portrayed the feeling of bravely facing death without any regrets.

As the song "Qinhuai Scenery" came to a close, filming for "The Flowers of War" officially wrapped up.

At the wrap party, Song Hao expressed his gratitude to every staff member for their hard work.

"Director Song, this movie is sure to be a huge hit."

"Yes, it will definitely be a high-grossing box office."

Song Hao, however, said: "This movie may not be released in theaters because it is a cultural tourism promotional film for Nanjing. The reason I took a different approach is mainly to let everyone understand the kind of harm Nanjing suffered more than 80 years ago through this promotional film, and to make children in peacetime more aware of the dangers."

"Never forget national humiliation, and revitalize China is my original intention in making this film."

After Song Hao finished speaking, everyone stood up and applauded him.

At this moment, box office figures seem to have become less important.

Because the values ​​have been elevated.

We've moved on to the second round of recommendations. I hope everyone will continue to vote and check back every day; the data is really important.
