Song Hao never expected it.
His Weibo comment section is in ruins.
A group of netizens made requests in the comment area.
"Director Song, it's up to you, please come out!!"
"Director Song, hurry up and make a traditional Kung Fu martial arts film to show them what real Chinese Kung Fu is."
"That's right! Show him Tai Chi, Emei Sect, etc.!"
"Are you kidding us? Our traditional kung fu is not great? Have you forgotten that Taoist priest? Taoist priest Chen placed a bottle of mineral water on a stone tablet more than three meters high. The 1.9-meter-old boy can't even touch it when he jumps. Daochang Chen jumped over the wall, jumped up and kicked the water bottle, then turned around and told everyone to believe in science."
"Yes, yes, I've seen it before. He was afraid of heights, and he jumped off a 20-meter hillside in the next second. I was stunned."
"Director Song, make a true traditional kung fu martial arts film. I like it!!"
Facing fans' requests, Song Hao naturally noticed these comments.
Of course, he thought it was just a prank by netizens and didn't pay much attention to it.
But in the following days, this incident intensified.
Because of the complaints and protests from netizens, the foreign taekwondo player also noticed Hua Xia's remarks.
In an interview, he even said bluntly: "To be honest, I think Chinese Kung Fu has always been deified. I even think that the current Chinese Kung Fu is all about tricks and tricks. If you don't accept it, you are welcome to challenge me."
This kind of arrogance made netizens even more angry.
They protested online: "Can no one stop his behavior?!"
"Yes, the traditional Kung Fu we are so proud of is being scolded like this. Where are the people from the Wushu Association?"
"It's like this. They don't want to cause trouble. If they are scolded, they will be scolded."
"When I think about our ancestors' kung fu being slandered like this, I get angry just thinking about it."
"Director Song doesn't seem to be able to make this kind of martial arts film anymore. After all, martial arts movies have become lonely now, and more directors will definitely want to pursue a more stable market."
Song Hao also didn't expect that he thought that netizens asking him to make a martial arts movie were just following the trend.
It only takes two days and no one mentions it.
But more and more people came to the Weibo comment area to talk about this.
I also gradually realized that something was wrong.
But right now, "Operation Red Sea" is still being released in China.
It is now about to exceed 3 billion.
It is expected to become Song Hao's third film with a box office of over 3 billion.
And there is a high probability that it can surpass the box office data of "Captain China".
In terms of overseas box office, it has now accumulated US$6.9 million.
The reputation is even better than that of "Black Panther" which was released at the same time.
Unfortunately, there are too few theaters abroad where it can be shown.
Otherwise, it can be compared with "Black Panther".
It can be said that Song Hao's film not only won unanimous praise from domestic audiences, but also refreshed foreign netizens' understanding of China's strength.
Under such circumstances, domestic fans and netizens kept asking Song Hao to come out.
Make a martial arts movie about traditional kung fu.
Song Hao saw that there were more and more calls from everyone, and he seriously considered the feasibility of this theme.
He carefully checked out the movies about martial arts in recent years.
There really are no outstanding works.
After all, in the current movie market, most people are interested in comedy, romance, etc.
When I first made a movie with a main theme, a lot of people looked down on it.
Forget about traditional martial arts movies.
This thing requires a lot of effort and attention to shoot, but the point is that the box office is not commercial enough.
Those directors must choose the type of movies that are easy and marketable.
Investors are also more willing to invest in these types of movies.
This has also led to fewer and fewer discussions about Chinese Kung Fu over the years.
There are even some people from abroad who brazenly say that China’s kung fu is mediocre.
Thinking of this, Song Hao felt that if a movie like this was made at this time, it might be able to unite everyone's external unity.
It just so happens that I currently have quite a few stock video cards.
Take some out and shoot movies with different themes.
Also a good choice.
Then he clicked on the system's mall.
Browse martial arts movies.
When it comes to excellent martial arts dramas, there have been a bunch of excellent works since the last century.
For example, "Fist of Fury Heroes" mainly tells the story of Chen Zhen, a disciple of Fist of Fury Sect, who traces the cause of death of his master Huo Yuanjia, and confirms that the master was indeed poisoned to death by the foreign officer Go Fujita. In the end, Chen Zhen defeats Go Fujita to avenge his master.
Or "Drunken Boxing", which tells the story of a young boy named Huang Feihong who went from being a gangster who only caused trouble to being a gangster. After many setbacks, he finally learned Drunken Boxing from the beggar master Su Qier, and stalked and defeated the kickers who came to his house. The story of the museum’s big bad guy.
There are also "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng", "Huo Yuanjia", "Once Upon a Time" and so on.
But these films all have a certain sense of age. If they were made now, the quality of the films would be unparalleled. They are absolutely excellent, but it is a problem in terms of publicity.
For this reason, Song Hao decided to look for commercial martial arts movies that were not that old.
After searching, he noticed a movie.
"Ip man"!
This movie tells the story of the martial arts idiot Ye Wen who took up the banner of revitalizing China in competitions in the Lingnan region in the 20th century.
This movie actually reminded him of famous scenes in it.
"I want to hit ten!"
Facing these fierce little days, Ip Man did not show any timidity and directly said this famous sentence.
This movie, with its wonderful martial arts scenes, not only promotes Chinese martial arts, but also teaches those villains who look down on Chinese kung fu a bloody lesson.
The film's sentiments about the rise and fall of family and country are full of tension.
The key point lies in the patriotic elements that are not deliberately promoted. It is rich and touching, making the audience's hearts surge, and also allows the audience to exhale the bad breath in their hearts.
Over the years, though, there have been quite a few action movies.
But martial arts movies rarely make it to the big screen.
If Song Hao can make this movie and release it.
It will definitely surprise those viewers.
The most important thing is that the whole scene of "Ip Man" does not have any flickering of wires, nor does it have computer-generated fancy fists and embroidered legs. It was all shot with one punch and one kick!
It can also demonstrate in detail the enemy-control methods of Wing Chun and other boxing techniques, and understand the fighting routines.
He believes that the raindrop-like punches of Wing Chun will definitely leave the audience stunned.
In addition, in the previous system task, I achieved a martial arts guidance ability.
It allows the protagonists to show better camera sense.
Song Hao looked at the video redemption cards needed for "Ip Man" and found that only 200 were needed.
Without too much hesitation.
He redeemed it directly.
Either don’t shoot, or if you want to shoot, shoot something that makes people’s blood boil.
Later, he also took the time to write the script.
in the coming week.
They all continued to dive.
During this time.
The box office of "Operation Red Sea" exceeded 3.36 billion, officially surpassing "I'm Not the God of Medicine".
Fans cheered for a while. They believed that Song Hao's movie would establish his position in the entertainment industry.
From now on, Song Hao must have a place in the list of famous directors in China.
When other directors saw such box office results, they would be lying if they said they were not envious.
Maybe the movies they make in a lifetime are not as high as the box office of Song Hao's "Operation Red Sea".
Originally, everyone thought that Song Hao would continue to shoot movies with this kind of theme.
After all, he has continuously broken his own box office records in the field of main themes.
As long as we continue to delve deeply into this theme, we will even be able to cover the entire field of theme themes in the future.
But what everyone didn't expect was that Song Hao actually replied to a netizen's comment on Weibo.
This netizen's comment was posted more than ten days ago.
The main complaint was about previous foreign taekwondo players openly slandering traditional Chinese Kung Fu.
Originally, everyone thought that Song Hao would not pay attention to this matter.
After all, there is no need to offend anyone.
And he doesn’t just take pictures of whatever netizens want him to take.
So this storm also ended with netizens feeling disappointed.
But what I didn't expect was that Song Hao suddenly pushed this post up again today.
I saw him reply: [Okay! 】
Just these two words instantly caused a sensation among netizens.
"What's good?"
"Oh my God, is this going to be a martial arts movie?"
"Director Song, what you said is good, are you really going to make a traditional kung fu movie?"
"It's true. If you really film it, I will support it to the end and will never lie!!"
"Yes, I will support it to the end and I will never lie to anyone!!"
But after Song Hao sent these two words, there was nothing more to say.
This also made many netizens suspicious.
"Director Song is probably trying to trick us, right?"
"Not that much."
"Why did he just say two words and not explain?"
"Could it be that the reply was wrong?"
"I think it should be impossible to make a martial arts movie. How can I be afraid? The traditional martial arts market is so cold now. There is no need for Song Hao to take risks."
"That's right. Director Song has already made more than 3 billion for "Operation Red Sea". As long as he continues to delve into this theme, he can make a lot of money with his eyes closed."
Perhaps everyone is not optimistic about the martial arts market and thinks there is no need for Song Hao to mess with this, so everyone doesn't pay too much attention.
But after Song Hao finished writing the script, he was looking for suitable actors.
First I found Hazelnut Pill.
Zhenzidan comes from a martial arts family. Her mother, Mai Baochan, is a world-renowned martial artist, but her martial arts also has a large performance component.
When he was young, Zhenzidan was sent to the martial arts school by his mother to study martial arts, but Zhenzidan established his own action design concept very early.
He believes that this performance-style action style is not what he wants to express. What he wants to show is the free-fighting action design concept that is in the same vein as Bruce Lee.
It just so happens that the Ip Man portrayed in the movie is a restrained character, family-oriented, and humble, but also a manly man. These are very suitable for Hazel Dan's character.
The movie "Ip Man" never intended to make Ip Man a hero from the beginning. This is not Hollywood-style super individual heroism.
Song Hao wanted to portray him as an ordinary person, but he happened to have good martial arts, and it was the times that pushed him to the position of a hero.
How high the ability is, how great the responsibility is.
Ip Man never wanted to be a hero, but the injustice of society was before him and he had to fight against it.
For example, if there is a person who is good at martial arts and walks on the road and sees someone being bullied, will he take action? That's for sure.
This is the situation that Ip Man encounters in the movie.
He doesn't like to come forward, but he has to come forward every time.
For this reason, Song Hao decided to personally invite Zhenzi Dan to meet and chat with him about the script of "Ip Man".
When Zhenzidan learned that he was being asked to make a martial arts movie, he immediately flew from Xiangjiang to the mainland.
When he saw Song Hao, Zhenzidan was very excited. He hurriedly said: "Director Song, I'm glad to see you."
Song Hao smiled and said: "I am the same. I have heard about Brother Zidan's martial arts for a long time and have always wanted to cooperate with you."
"Haha, I wonder what the script is?" Zhenzidan asked curiously.
Song Hao took out the script of "Ip Man" and handed it to him immediately.
Zhenzidan opened the script and was surprised when he saw the words "Ip Man".
He naturally knew the martial artist Ip Man.
Among them, Bruce Lee, my favorite, came from Ip Man's disciples.
Ip Man carried forward Wing Chun, and Bruce Lee improved it and surprised the world.
He quickly asked: "Director Song, are you going to let me play the role of Ip Man?"
Director Song nodded: "Are you confident?"
Hazelnut Dan suddenly felt stressed.
Bruce Lee was his favorite idol.
And Ip Man is the idol’s master.
If the performance is not good, not only will the fans and moviegoers' hopes be disappointed, but oneself will feel even more guilty.
But as the saying goes, warriors are absolutely not afraid of difficulties. The more danger there is, the more they dare to step forward.
So Zhenzidan said: "Can I read the script and then reply to Director Song?"
"No problem at all."
So Song Hao waited patiently.
He also observed the changes in Zhenzidan's expression.
Sure enough, when Zhenzidan was halfway through watching it, he was deeply moved by the plot, and the national sentiment was also rising along with it.
After reading it, he took a deep breath and finally said to Song Hao: "Director Song, I want to give it a try."
"Okay, then give it a try!" Song Hao replied with a smile: "This role belongs to you! But you have to do one thing now."
"What's up?"
"We have to personally visit Ip Man Hall in Lingnan to authorize Ip Man's descendants, and you also have to learn Wing Chun and practice Wing Chun to perfection." Song Hao explained.
Hazelnut Dan nodded: "No problem!"
In this way, after the core starring role was determined, Song Hao went to look for other actors.
The descendants of the Ye family learned that Song Hao was going to make a movie in the Ip Man series, and after a period of discussion, they finally agreed.
At this time, someone also took photos of Song Hao and Zhenzidan visiting Ye Wentang and posted them online.
As soon as this photo came out.
Everyone was surprised and curious.
Does Director Song really want to make a martial arts movie? !
Asking for a monthly ticket! !
