When Song Hao and the fire department decided to jointly produce a firefighter-themed movie, the outside world gradually became friendly.
Even some netizens who had no good impressions of Song Hao before hope that Song Hao can make an excellent movie this time.
When the time comes, I can give the Golden Horse Awards officials a hard slap in the face.
They even dare not think about what meaning the award would have if mainland filmmakers and Hong Kong representatives no longer attend Golden Horse Awards events in the future.
"Director Song, shoot well, I'm waiting for your movie!"
"Yes, shoot well! Come on! This is the first movie of your new company!"
"Do you think the new movie will break the previous box office record?"
"No matter whether it breaks the box office record or not, I will support it!"
the other side.
Song Hao invited all the leading actors together.
Brother Xiao Ming never expected that Song Hao would invite him to film.
Perhaps it was the greasy incidents and divorce turmoil in the past few years that made him gradually less confident.
Among the actors present, he is obviously one of the biggest celebrities.
As a result, the aura seemed somewhat lacking.
Du Jiang asked Song Hao: "Director Song, can we read the script first?"
"sure."
Song Hao immediately distributed the script to all the leading actors present.
In fact, these leading actors only wanted to make a movie about firefighters.
As for what the content is, they don't know.
But they also paid attention to what happened at the Golden Horse Awards a few days ago.
As a mainland filmmaker, he naturally has to help Song Hao support the show.
Moreover.
Song Hao made four movies in a row, all of which were box office hits.
The latest movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine" has exceeded 3 billion.
Now that Song Hao has invited him to make a movie, is there any reason to refuse?
All the leading actors read the script excitedly.
But when they saw the beginning, they were stunned.
[This movie script is adapted from a real case of an oil pipeline explosion accident]
"Director Song, this... is this a real adaptation?" Ou Xiaohao was a little surprised.
"Yes." Song Hao nodded: "It was a major safety accident about ten years ago. You guys should take a closer look first."
Just like that, the protagonists also began to quiet down.
As professional artists, each of them is very experienced.
Know what are the key points and what must be understood.
Especially Yang Zi, when she saw that she was going to play the role of a policewoman who lost her fiancé, she stepped into it.
His eyes even started to get wet.
Brother Xiao Ming was very serious. He took a red pen and read word by word.
It can be seen that everyone attaches great importance to this script.
Song Hao asked his employees to bring them fruit plates and drinks.
Let them read the script carefully.
After one hour.
Du Jiang took the lead in looking at Song Hao.
He had already finished studying the script.
He asked Song Hao: "Director Song, how are we going to make this movie?"
"Green screen special effects?" Tan Nao also asked.
Song Hao shook his head: "No, in order to reflect the most realistic scene, our crew will build a 1:1 port area, with oil tanks, buildings and oil pipelines all restored."
"Ah?" Yang Zi's eyes widened.
Brother Xiao Ming was not surprised.
After all, he had long heard that Song Hao was very serious about filming and could not tolerate any sloppiness.
If it can be shot in real action, special effects will never be used to fool the audience.
He immediately asked: "What about Director Song, this fire?"
"Well, it's also a real fire." Song Hao knew that when this movie was originally shot, in order to make the movie more realistic, special effects were not used, but a real fire was set off.
There has never been such a huge real fire on the big screen in 2019.
So this time, he also had to truly restore the fire scene back then.
After hearing this, Ou Xiaohao was a little shocked.
Song Hao looked at him and asked, "Xiao Hao, you should be able to swim, right?"
Ou Xiaohao hesitated: "No."
"Can you learn?"
"able."
Ou Xiaohao knew that his role was to be responsible for water supply, but while diving to clean the fishing net, his feet got entangled and he was eventually drowned and died gloriously.
Song Hao told him: "There was indeed a martyr in this situation and died gloriously."
Hearing this, Ou Xiaohao felt even more stressed.
He can't act badly, otherwise it would be an insult to the victim.
But just like this, Ou Xiaohao became more motivated and said: "Don't worry, Director Song, I promise to learn to swim within three days."
"I'll give you a week." Song Hao smiled and said, "I will invite the best coach to teach you then."
"Okay! Promise to complete the mission!"
Ou Xiaohao is basically determined to take part in the role of Xu Xiaobin.
Teacher Tan Nao had already collaborated with Song Hao on "I'm Not the God of Medicine" before, so he naturally agreed happily now.
"Director Song, I am willing to take part in this role!"
It was also the first time for Yang Zi to play the role of a fire technician. She found it very challenging and said, "Director Song, add me!~"
Du Jiang also sighed: "I also want to experience the experience of being a firefighter. Director Song, let me do it."
Now, several of the leading actors agreed.
Only Brother Xiao Ming is still hesitant.
When Song Hao saw this, he asked, "Brother Xiao Ming, what's wrong?"
Brother Xiao Ming just smiled awkwardly: "No, it's nothing."
Tan Nao immediately observed the situation, and then she suggested: "How about we go out to discuss the situation of the script? Then let Teacher Xiao Ming and Director Song talk."
Everyone else should also agree: "Okay, let's go."
"I think my role is challenging!"
Soon, Song Hao and Xiao Ming were the only two people in the conference room.
Brother Xiao Ming explained awkwardly: "Director Song, you value this movie very much, I think so. Maybe it won't work well if I am the starring role."
When he said this, he was full of unconfidence.
When Song Hao saw this, he said, "Brother Xiao Ming, your current state is what I'm looking for."
"Ah?" Brother Xiao Ming was a little surprised.
"In the play, you are the captain of a special service squadron. Because of a command error that killed your teammates, you were sent to a suburban fire brigade. At the same time, you suffered from stress and trauma."
"When facing the port fire, I had fear and avoidance at first, but as a firefighter, I overcame my fear and became a death squad to protect the interests of the people with strong determination."
When Song Hao said this, he added: "Just like you are not sure whether you can play the leading role well now, you are a little scared, but in fact, you are qualified for this role, don't worry."
Brother Xiao Ming was moved when he heard it.
Before this, he also heard that Song Hao was very good at teaching people to act.
So he took the initiative and said: "Well, if I don't perform well in any way, Director Song can correct me at any time."
"No problem." Song Hao nodded.
Afterwards, Brother Xiao Ming went out together.
Looking at his less confident expression, Song Hao felt emotional.
I think back then, with the movie "Emperor of Han Dynasty", this confident young man has reached the pinnacle of his film and television career.
Later, countless people complained that he was always too greasy and his acting skills were hit or miss. Coupled with his divorce from AB, his overall image became more and more unconfident.
Song Hao believes that in his current state, he is indeed suitable to play the leading role in the play.
After all, the starring role of Jiang Liwei was in a state of avoidance and fear in the early stage.
As long as this movie is successfully completed and released, this drama is likely to change everyone's view of Brother Xiao Ming.
in the following time.
Three lines in parallel.
Song Hao is arranging the shooting.
The crew restored the shooting scene environment.
Since this environmental scene must be on location, the fire department also coordinated with the relevant local departments.
As for a group of actors such as Xiao Ming, Du Jiang and Ou Xiaohao.
During Song Hao's preparation period, they were pulled to the fire squadron for twenty days of special training.
Carry the water hose, throw the water hose, catch the water gun, throw the water gun, and climb the ladder.
Actors must master these basic skills of firefighters.
During this time.
Director Zhong, who previously won the Golden Horse Award, once again mentioned his award-winning work "My Rescue" in an interview.
"I don't think my movie won an award. What's the problem?"
"You know, I have won awards at international film festivals before. Isn't winning a Golden Horse Award not enough to qualify?"
"Besides, do others dare to make a movie about firefighters like this? They don't dare, they don't know how to make it, they don't have the courage and qualifications."
"Operation Mekong" and "I'm Not a Medicine God" are very good, but you also know that the Golden Horse Awards have never been won by box office. I can only say that my film is better than Song Dynasty in terms of art. The director did a good job. If Director Song wants to win an award, he might consider changing his style. After all, considering the box office, it won’t be convincing without an award.”
As soon as this interview came out.
It immediately triggered heated discussions among mainland netizens.
"Damn it, I'm going to Treasure Island right now to capture him alive!"
"Grandma's! Too arrogant! What are you pretending to do!"
"Wait until Director Song's movie comes out! Let's see how they die!"
"Has the filming of Director Song's movie started?"
"I don't know, but I recently saw that a crew was preparing to build a large oil area at a coastal filming location."
Director Jiang of the Fire Department naturally noticed the topics discussed on the Internet.
He called Song Hao personally and asked, "Xiao Song, do you need any more help?"
Song Hao thought for a while and then said: "Director Jiang, I want a video of the fire scene from the firefighter's perspective, is that okay?"
"sure."
Not long after, a video was sent to Song Hao's WeChat.
Song Hao played this video to everyone on the day the movie was launched.
Looking at the ferocious fire and the beams collapsing at any time.
Everyone looked very nervous.
Yes, it's the fear of fire.
To describe it in two words, it was simply hell.
Song Hao looked at everyone and said: "The reason why we set up a 1:1 scene, lit real fires, and conducted real training is for one purpose, to capture the most realistic situation of firefighters facing a fire. "
"No matter how advanced the protective clothing is, no matter how rich the fire-fighting experience is, the rapidly changing fire conditions will still put firefighters' lives in danger. Roofs that may fall at any time, stairs that may collapse at any time, and high temperatures of hundreds or thousands of degrees for a long time. There is also thick smoke, and it is such a hell that firefighters face.
"At times like this, they will be scared."
"Firefighters have turned their backs to us for so long that we have forgotten that they are also flesh and blood people. They are also afraid, collapsed, and tired. They are not indestructible like superheroes. They are just like us. .”
"But even so, they still rushed into the sea of fire again and again, and never thought of backing down. Indeed, they are not supermen, but they are heroes."
"More importantly, they also have emotions and desires like us, close lovers, parents and children who can't let go. When they rushed into the fire, they couldn't control so much, but these people have been waiting They go home."
"But they still chose to go into danger - and that's what makes them so great."
Song Hao's last words completely ignited everyone's hearts: "I didn't make this movie for the box office, but to pay tribute to the firefighters who have been working silently, and to let filmmakers from other places watch it. We Can we make a good firefighter-themed movie?”
"Heroes of Fire is officially launched!"
Asking for a monthly ticket! !
