In Song Hao's impression, the film and television works of the past few years do not seem to have any earth-shattering, weeping love themes.
Of course, there are also many movies with high box office.
Some netizens even joked that making such movies, such as "The Ex Series" and "The Disappearance of Her", would be of no benefit to couples.
On the contrary, there will be more quarrels and opportunities to have sex with your ex.
Song Hao would naturally not choose this type of movie.
Moreover, these movies do not fully reflect the meaning of love.
For a moment, Song Hao also started thinking.
Before, he never thought he would make this series of movies.
After all, he has always been making movies on behalf of the government.
Most of the photos I take are of meaningful subjects.
Now this time, the leader of the Civil Affairs Bureau asked him to make a film and television work about love.
Wait, Bureau Qin doesn’t seem to require that he make a movie, right?
Moreover, the length of a movie is too short, so it is difficult for the audience to have more feelings.
So he clicked on the system's mall.
After selecting the "love" tag, filter.
The TV series is refreshed.
Many TV series about love themes have also been released.
What’s surprising is that all TV dramas about the chaotic Warring States period include love elements.
So at first glance, they all do not meet the conditions.
Song Hao screened carefully.
Soon he saw a very good quality TV series.
"Parental Love".
This is a movie based on the fifty-year relationship between naval officer Jiang Defu and wealthy girl An Jie.
It tells the story of the two people in a special era, who jointly overcame the differences in origin, the disparity in education levels, the harsh living environment, and the survival difficulties in the special period.
A story about raising five children and going through ups and downs together for decades.
Among them, sister-in-law Jiang Dehua is even more out of the circle.
The brother-in-law gave birth to a baby, and she took care of the baby.
I brought five children with me.
You must know that starting from 10 years later, thunder dramas, divine dramas, and dog-blood dramas gradually became the main varieties of satellite TV.
The love-themed period drama "Parental Love" obviously did not meet the requirements for TV drama selection, so it was distributed to CCTV.
No one was optimistic about this movie "Parental Love" at first.
However, after it started broadcasting on the third day of the Lunar New Year, the national network ratings started at 1.34, and the 48 city network ratings started at 1.58. Four days later, they both broke 2, and approached the 2.5 mark on the fifth day. It was a very obvious rhythm of breaking 3 and 4.
However, this show had an ill-fated fate. Starting from February 8, "Parents' Love" was suspended for 9 days, and its schedule was given to variety shows such as "Outstanding Chinese".
If the broadcast of a drama is interrupted for 9 days, we generally cannot expect it to have very good ratings.
However, "Parental Love" is an exception. By the time the TV series resumed broadcasting on February 17, the national network ratings started at 1.9, and the 49-city ratings started at 2.0, and then went up all the way, and both broke through 3.2 in the finale.
According to CSM data, the drama was watched by a total of 545 million viewers, with an average ratings of 2.43%, ranking first among dual-network ratings among all TV dramas since 2014.
On Douban.com, 110,000 people gave it a high score of 9.5.
Until last year's "Human World" concluded successfully, it became a prime-time show on CCTV with the highest ratings in the past eight years.
The work that broke the ratings record was the 2014 hit drama "Parents' Love".
The reason why these two dramas have such high ratings is that they have many similarities. They are both period dramas, spanning several decades.
They all reflect the changes in family life under the background of the times.
But watching "Parental Love" made me laugh and cry.
And "Human World" is crying and crying, and I can't stop crying.
So if you want to choose a romantic drama, "Parents' Love" may be more able to arouse modern young people's yearning for love.
Let them experience the love story of their parents' generation.
Song Hao then checked the redemption number of the movie "Parental Love".
Since this TV series has a very high rating, 500 video redemption cards are required to withdraw it.
Song Hao knew the quality of this drama and had no hesitation.
Exchanged it directly.
【Ding! The redemption of "Parental Love" was successful, requiring 500 video redemption cards! 】
All of a sudden, all the contents of the script melted into Song Hao's mind.
Originally, he wanted to start writing the script today, but considering that he was going to the Cannes Film Festival tomorrow, he planned to come back and make preparations.
This time, he will attend the Cannes Film Festival with the members of "Ocean Paradise".
Although "Ocean Paradise" does not belong to any official department's film, departments that have worked with Song Hao are also very concerned about it.
They have been called by the China Film Association, hoping that they can properly arrange Song Hao's trip to the Cannes International Film Festival.
Perhaps Song Hao is the last card of the China Film Association this year, so the management attaches great importance to it.
The Film Association specially sent many media reporters there.
The purpose is to build momentum for Song Hao.
Song Hao was also surprised.
Unexpectedly, the leader sent so many people here this time.
There is a sense of déjà vu that I am sure to win an award.
But whether Song Hao can win the award is hard to say.
After all, not everyone can easily win the main competition unit award of the Gaona International Film Festival.
But Song Hao also maintains a mentality of "if you don't win the prize, just treat it as a trip, if you win the prize, you will make money".
He also told the members of "Ocean Paradise": "Don't worry about gains and losses. Let's try our best not to be happy with things or sad with ourselves."
Li Lianjie also became happy: "Xiao Song, to be honest, you are the young director with the best attitude I have ever seen."
Song Hao replied: "After all, there are so many excellent directors and so many excellent film and television works in the world. It is already very good that our charity film can be nominated."
He also comforted Xue Lu: "Director Xue, although you were not shortlisted for the best new director this time, I believe that you will have a place in the next China Film Festival."
Xue Lu said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. In fact, I am satisfied if I can come to participate in an international film festival."
The plane landed soon.
Later, Song Hao also joked generously with everyone: "I will take everyone to have a big dinner tonight."
"good!"
"Director Song is awesome!"
"Thank you, Director Song!"
If you want to talk about the delicacies of the romantic country, it must be foie gras.
Foie gras is an indispensable and precious delicacy in French cuisine.
Since they were arranged to dine in an international hotel, during the meal, some international celebrities came up to say hello to Li Lianjie from time to time.
"Hey, Jet." A bald man came over.
Li Lianjie looked at it and laughed: "Jason, long time no see."
Later, he and others introduced: "This is the international superstar, Jason Statham."
Jason Statham waved his hand and then asked Jet Li: "I heard that you came to Cannes this time not for a martial arts movie, but for a movie about autism."
Li Lianjie nodded: "Yes, have you read it?"
"Please, you didn't release it in the United States." Jason Statham smiled bitterly.
Li Lianjie then introduced Song Hao: "This is the producer and screenwriter of our movie. He is very famous in China. His name is Song Hao."
Song Hao knew that Li Lianjie introduced him to people, so he greeted him politely: "My name is Song Hao. Nice to meet you."
Jason Statham also gave him a thumbs up: "You are really awesome. I heard about it. Your story moved Jet and he didn't even ask for pay."
"Jet has always been my idol. As someone he recognizes, I think you must be very powerful. I wonder if we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."
Song Hao also smiled and said: "We will definitely cooperate if we have the opportunity."
After Jason Statham left, everyone realized that he had always maintained a tough guy image in front of the screen and had a close relationship with Jet Li.
He has always regarded Jet Li as his idol, and has expressed his admiration for Jet Li in many interviews.
Li Lianjie even joked: "He can be regarded as my die-hard fan."
"Actually, Jason was not an actor at the beginning, but a diver. He became an actor through transformation. At the beginning, he was not well-known. Later, he collaborated with me in a science fiction film "Space Hunt" , in which he plays the second male lead.”
It was also because Jason Statham saw Jet Li's martial arts scenes during filming and felt very admired, and his admiration for his idol deepened day by day.
Faced with such a young fan, Li Lianjie generously introduced Song Hao to him.
The purpose is to hope that one day the two of them can cooperate.
After all, he has also seen "Operation Mekong" filmed by Song Hao. This kind of gunfight scene is very suitable for Jason Statham.
With Jet Li as a bridge, Song Hao got to know many international artist directors.
When they learned that the young man in front of them was the one who filmed the famous "Operation Mekong", they were very surprised.
Although "Operation Mekong" has not been released abroad, the film is also discussed by many directors and stars.
They admired Hua Xia very much for having such a director who could shoot such a wonderful gunfight scene.
Early the next morning.
Song Hao and others took a limousine to the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival.
There were already many domestic media waiting on the sidelines.
The moment they saw Song Hao, everyone rushed to greet him.
"Director Song, does "Ocean Paradise" have a chance to win the main competition award this time?"
"Director Song, this is also your first time to participate in an international film festival. Are you nervous?"
"Teacher Li, at this international film festival, will you introduce some capable actors to Director Song so that we can make a movie together?"
Faced with these questions, Song Hao and the "Ocean Paradise" team patiently answered them.
Song Hao looked at the camera and said: "I try not to embarrass our Chinese film industry, but the competition this time is indeed quite big."
In fact, the media also know that the possibility of winning this time is not very high. At best, they are here to accompany them.
So they focused more on Song Hao's next plan.
"Director Song, I would like to ask, do you have any new works planned next?"
Song Hao thought for a while and replied: "Some people have joked before that I will only shoot some main themes or movies with obvious educational significance. If I shoot some love elements, it may not be possible."
"So I also think that the next works may break through my previous shooting types, and everyone will know by then."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the media was shocked.
Soon, they quickly posted this interview to their respective media accounts.
Netizens were shocked.
Originally, they just wanted to see how ambitious Song Hao was.
Thinking that he might be determined to win the award.
But unexpectedly, his mentality was very optimistic.
On the contrary, it was also revealed that Song Hao's next work may have a love element.
"Oh my god, is Director Song going to make a romance movie?"
"Is this going to be a love movie?"
"Love action film??"
"If Director Song makes a romantic movie, I might not want to watch it. What are the good romantic movies these days?"
"I also believe so."
"Even dogs don't believe in love."
"Didn't there happen to be a pure love warrior who fell to the ground before? It was said that a boy was reluctant to eat or wear clothes, and then supported his girlfriend to study in graduate school. As a result, the girlfriend dumped her boyfriend after she came ashore."
"Yes, yes, I also got this one, and the woman said shamelessly: I am making progress, what about him? He only makes four to five thousand yuan a month, how can he support me in the future?"
"I would say that the current values of love have really changed and are no longer what they used to be."
"Anyway, if Director Song's next work is related to love, I will definitely not watch it."
Many netizens are very resistant to Director Song's plan to make a work with love elements.
They believe that today's romance movies are too bloody. They either miss their ex or enjoy a one-time relationship, and they are not worthy of being called love at all.
Some people even left a message on Song Hao's Weibo, hoping that he could continue to make some movies with main themes or meanings and not fall into the cliché.
At this moment, at the Cannes Film Festival, the nomination list for Best Supporting Actor is being announced.
A young actor named Jenny Brown won this award.
He kept thanking everyone on the stage, and also mentioned his uncle. He also hoped that his uncle would win the next Best Screenplay Award.
After stepping off the stage, Jenny Brown came to his uncle's side and said excitedly: "Hey, uncle, we are going to win the award together."
His uncle Dwight Sean smiled and shook his head: "It may not be me, don't be so sure."
"Please, uncle, among the nominations this time, which movie is as good as your writing?" Jenny Brown said firmly: "It must be you."
At this time, Jason Statham on the side intervened and said: "This is not necessarily true. This time, there is a very good movie from China."
Jenny Brown laughed: "Which of the Chinese movies is good? Isn't it always a companion?"
Although his uncle Dwight Shawn did not speak, he felt contempt in his heart.
If he was really outclassed by that Chinese work, then he might as well find a piece of tofu and hit the wall to death.
Seeing how confident they were, Jason Statham just said lightly: "It's okay, we'll know the result later."
Jayne Brown didn’t take anything Jason Statham said to heart.
And he feels that they are obviously from the same country, why does Jason Statham still say good things to outsiders?
Subconsciously, I couldn't help but despise the international superstar next to me.
At this moment, the plot introduction of "Ocean Paradise" was played on the screen.
At first no one paid much attention.
Until they noticed that this movie was about autistic patients, they all looked at the screen.
On the other side, the organizing committee has handed the winning card to the host.
The host took a look at the list of award-winning movies inside.
At this sight, his eyes widened.
Who actually won the Best Screenplay Award in the main competition section of the Cannes Film Festival? ! ! !
Ask for a monthly pass! ! !
Speaking of "Parental Love", did anyone guess correctly?
