The day "2012" was released abroad.
It immediately aroused public opinion.
Some foreigners who had gone to see this movie with expectations, after watching the whole movie.
I started to be amazed even before I left the cinema.
"Oh my God, this is the best disaster movie I've ever seen."
"The special effects are so wonderful. It's hard for me to imagine that this is a Chinese movie."
"It turns out that Hollywood is getting worse and worse, and Chinese movies are on the rise."
"This director named Song Hao is really amazing. I heard that he has made many movies with different themes."
"Can Hollywood invite him to make a movie?"
"We may develop better here."
“What pissed me off the most was that the Saturn Award for Best Science Fiction Film was actually awarded to “Blade Runner.” When I didn’t come to see it, I thought “Blade Runner” deserved it, but now I I deeply despise the officialdom!”
"Yes, unfair!!"
As public opinion fermented, more and more people learned about "2012".
They also all went to the cinema one after another to watch the movie that everyone said was extremely shocking.
More and more people are grieving for "2012" after watching this movie.
They left a message under the official website of the Saturn Awards.
[Why was the Best Science Fiction Film Award awarded to "The Amazing Blade Runner" and why not "2012"? 】
[Why not give "2012" the best science fiction film award? 】
【I am really confused. 】
[I always thought that the Saturn Award was the best, most authoritative, and fairest official website that only looked at works, but I didn’t expect that this time I was really disappointed. 】
[If you didn’t award “2012”, why did you invite it to be a finalist? 】
Some people even complained on the White House website.
[Please let the officials of the Saturn Awards review the Best Science Fiction Film Award. We need a fair and impartial recommendation. 】
This post is concise and to the point, directly expressing their wishes.
But this post was so inconspicuous on the website that it was pushed down all of a sudden.
Slowly, more and more people upvoted the post again.
This also makes those netizens who have not watched "2012" become more curious.
Is this movie really that good?
For a time, the box office of the overseas version of "2012" reached US$4 million after only three days of release.
What a terrifying statistic.
For the people of the beautiful country, this is still a movie imported from China. There are not many theaters that can show it, and the number of films is also small.
But it was able to reach box office figures of 4 million within three days.
Which means the occupancy rate is amazing.
Just started.
Saturn Awards officials also noticed that some people were not satisfied that "2012" was not selected for the Best Science Fiction Film Award.
The first person to discover it was Curry, the operator of the official website of the Saturn Awards.
After he learned about the incident, he immediately reported it to the team leader.
After the team leader learned about it, he reported it to everyone.
In the end, the chairman of the Saturn Awards learned about this, but he ignored it and asked the website to delete the posts about "2012".
After Curry received the order from his superiors, he began to delete the posts.
Although he also watched the movie "2012", he thought that "2012" was better than "The Amazing Blade Runner" in terms of quality and special effects.
However, the official chose the movie "The Amazing Blade Runner" to win the award.
As for why this is done, that is the decision of the management.
As an ordinary worker, he has no way to figure out the thoughts of leaders.
So he deleted the post and felt sorry for those who were fighting for "2012".
Because the official website of the Saturn Awards has deleted a large number of "2012" posts.
This also aroused more people's anger.
Some fans were even dissatisfied with this incident and believed that the Saturn Awards officials discriminated against them and did not care about their demands. Then they held banners and protested in front of the Saturn Awards Academy.
The president of the Saturn Award did not expect that this matter would intensify.
At the beginning, Warner Bros. had already greeted him, saying that "The Amazing Blade Runner" needed the Best Science Fiction Film Award to add some honors. It was also the company that allowed the Saturn Awards to officially invite Song Hao's "2012" to be shortlisted.
Only in this way can the gimmick and gold content be increased.
The original chairman of the Local Star Awards thought that even if "2012" did not win the award, it would not be a big deal.
After all, the local people prefer their Hollywood movies. Who cares whether a Chinese movie wins awards or not.
But now, it's completely different.
More and more people began to protest.
In order to avoid causing greater social impact.
The president immediately came out to explain.
He said that he has learned everyone's opinions and demands and will monitor the results of the selection in the future.
Make sure the winning entries are well deserved.
At the same time, the president also said that he did not know that the posts about "2012" on the website would be deleted.
He immediately promised to fire the website operator.
It was the president's beautiful words that made everyone calm down.
They all left soon after.
But Curry, the website operator of the Saturn Award, became the biggest victim.
Yes, he was fired by his boss because of this incident.
"2012" became even more famous after this incident.
In its first week of release, the film grossed US$8.45 million at the box office.
This is already quite outstanding box office data.
Even some local celebrities went to watch the movie.
NBA stars Deng Ge and Westbrook, who love Chinese culture, also forwarded photos taken while watching this movie.
This also brings more fans into the theater to watch "2012".
At the same time, theaters are also very smart and try to increase the number of "2012" films as much as possible.
The box office of "2012" continues to rise with the support of a large number of films.
the other side.
Song Hao has been filming "Bright Sword" for some time.
Everyone is also very curious about how the shooting went.
So they all asked under Song Hao's Weibo.
"Director Song, can you send a preview video for us to see?"
"Yeah, I want to see what you get in the photo."
"If the picture is not good, you should stop the loss in time."
"Hahahaha, why do I feel that Director Song is filming an anti-war drama?"
"Don't be ridiculous, how could Director Song be filming a drama about the Anti-Japanese War? I think the content of his script will be very exciting."
Song Hao also knows that everyone is curious about his current filming.
So he just happened to edit the scene where Xiu Qin asked Li Yunlong to shoot a few days ago and used it as a trailer and promotional video.
In less than a day, Song Hao satisfied the needs of the audience.
This promotional trailer was uploaded directly to the official account.
Everyone was very excited when they saw it.
When some people saw the length of the pilot video, they were even more stunned.
It lasted more than five minutes! ! !
"Here, there's a 5-minute promotional trailer?!"
"Oh my god, Director Song is so generous this time, he just showed us the whole house!!"
“It seems like I’ve never seen anyone put out a 5-minute promotional video.”
"This should be a wonderful scene."
"Okay, okay, I'll look at it now."
For a while, netizens clicked on the pilot video one after another and watched it seriously.
I saw two men escorting a woman on a city wall tower, standing on the top of the wall.
Li Yunlong, played by teacher Li Youbin, and his men are preparing to attack under the city wall.
After a while, someone on the city wall called out: "Do you know this woman?"
As soon as the camera turned, Li Yunlong's expression immediately changed.
With uneasiness and nervousness.
Then, the enemy on the city wall continued: "Since you know her, I think you must be Li Yunlong's army."
Hearing this, Li Yunlong stood up angrily, holding a gun in his hand, looking at the enemies on the wall and said: "Yamamoto, what kind of soldier are you? Ah?! What's the point of using a woman?"
The enemies on the wall were replying in the language of their country, and someone on the side translated loudly: "It is indeed Mr. Li Yunlong. Mr. Zhaojiayu fled in the first battle, leaving behind women, children and the elderly. This is probably not in line with the purpose of your army. I, Yamamoto Xixiang Lianyu, I brought the wife back for you."
"How about it? Let's negotiate a deal."
The woman being held in custody still wanted to struggle as hard as she could, as if she didn't want to drag down Li Yunlong below the city.
Upon hearing this, Li Yunlong said: "We can negotiate terms. Put down your people's weapons and get out of there. I promise not to kill any of them."
"Mr. Li, since that year, how many of us have you seen voluntarily surrender?" the interpreter shouted loudly.
Li Yunlong was very angry. He took off his hat and yelled: "Then what the hell are you talking about?!"
He looked back at his men and waved his hand: "Fire for me."
After saying that, he hesitated again and looked at the woman on the city wall with reluctance in his eyes.
The camera also showed Xiu Qin on the city wall. She seemed to be ready to die together and was not afraid at all.
While the enemy was talking, Zhang Dabiao secretly took a gun and aimed at his head.
As a result, another message came from the city wall: "Mr. Li, your subordinates can't bear the loneliness. I know that at this time, there are more than one snipers aiming at my head. Please persuade them to put away their guns." If I get shot through the head, who's going to protect your woman?"
Hearing this, Zhang Dabiao gritted his teeth, but finally put down the gun helplessly.
When the video reached this point, some viewers couldn't help but leave comments.
"Damn, what a damn little day!!"
"I'm furious!!"
"What a beast!!"
"Threatening women! How abominable!"
"Didn't Director Song's movie "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" already show us the bottom line of these enemies? These people have no bottom line at all!!"
"I think about the mass graves and it makes me so angry!"
Some people are even worried that Li Yunlong in the video will eventually compromise because of his wife.
Some people also believe that once compromised, as long as the other party takes a breath, there will definitely be more terrifying revenge.
“You must never compromise!!”
"I believe Xiu Qin thinks so too."
"But that's the leader's wife! Alas."
"If it were me, I wouldn't know how to choose."
Many people chose to continue watching the video, wanting to see the final outcome.
Then, the enemy upstairs continued: "Mr. Li Yunlong, don't be so ruthless. Do you want your woman to die? So I suggest that we both cease fire for fifteen minutes and discuss it again, otherwise I will no longer protect your woman." Safety."
Li Yunlong naturally knew that this was the enemy's delaying strategy, and the purpose was to delay time and wait for support.
He shouted directly: "Don't do this, you and I both know that the outcome of the battle can be decided in one minute. I, Li Yunlong, will not trade the lives of my soldiers for my wife."
At this moment, Xiuqin on the city wall shouted: "Well said, Captain, it's worth it for me, Xiuqin, to trade for so many small days!"
She struggled: "The regiment commander opened fire to avenge the comrades of the Independent Regiment and avenge the hundreds of villagers in Zhaojiayu."
Li Yunlong hesitated at this time.
Seeing this, Xiu Qin still shouted: "Li Yunlong, fire!"
Li Yunlong calmed down, looked at his teammates and said, "Fire."
The monk immediately stepped forward to stop him: "Don't fire, captain, don't fire. Let me lead the brothers and charge again."
"Li Yunlong, shoot me. I am yours in life and your ghost in death. Remember, I, Xiuqin, will marry you in my next life. Shoot me. Don't let me look down on you."
The next second, the enemy's sword stabbed Xiu Qin's body.
Li Yunlong immediately went crazy: "Fire! Fire! Fire!"
In this way, the towers on the city wall were quickly blown up.
Xiuqin also died with the enemy.
This five-minute pilot video made everyone very angry.
"Damn it, these little days are really like beasts!"
"Every time I see these stories, I get so angry."
"I'm so angry! I admire Xiuqin's backbone!"
"Chinese children are all good."
"I will never forgive those little days in this life!"
This pilot video immediately put everyone in the mood.
It was also the first time that there was a five-minute trailer video, which immediately became a hot search.
We-media bloggers also analyzed this video one after another.
Many viewers believed that Xiu Qin was killed by a cannon.
But judging from the slow motion of that video, the enemy was dissatisfied with Li Yunlong, so he had already drawn his sword and struck Xiu Qin.
In other words, Xiu Qin had already died under the enemy's sword before the cannon was fired.
Freebird blogger also posted a comment: [Ping An City is so small that I shot it down with one shot. Ping An City is so big that I can no longer find Xiu Qin. 】
This comment resonated with everyone.
["Bright Sword" Li Yunlong Fires] has never retreated from the hot search list.
It lasted for two days.
During this period, more and more people watched this trailer video.
They didn't expect Song Hao to be able to do such a good job in an anti-war drama.
You must know that the anti-war dramas in recent years are really unexpected.
It’s hard to imagine what a real anti-war drama would look like?
Now, Song Hao is likely to return to the peak of the anti-war drama.
This also makes more and more people look forward to it.
Song Hao is still filming.
The person in charge of CCTV approached him in advance and agreed to broadcast "Bright Sword" on CCTV 1 and CCTV 8.
The last time "Cyclonus" was broadcast on five platforms, they all gained a lot of ratings.
So this time, even if "Bright Sword" has not been finished filming, they still believe in Song Hao's ability.
Not to mention that this "Bright Sword" is still cooperating with the official department.
Naturally, we have to arrange the prime time.
Not only that.
Dragon TV and Mango TV also continued to come to discuss cooperation.
The two responsible persons came one after another.
Director Lei of Dragon TV paid the most attention to it and came over in person. He found Song Hao and then asked: "Xiao Song, Dragon TV also wants to co-broadcast this "Bright Sword". Please set a price. What do you think?" How much is appropriate?”
Song Hao knew that it took a lot of courage for Dragon TV to buy the broadcast rights of "Crazy" at a very high price.
And he also likes to cooperate with such satellite TV.
So he said: "How about this, how about the same broadcast price as "Hurry"?"
Director Lei was very happy to hear this.
He already had an estimate before coming.
His psychological expectation is that "Bright Sword" will earn 20% more broadcast fees than "Hurry".
He would chew even if it was 40% more.
Mainly because he believes that with Song Hao's ability, the quality of the TV series will not be much worse.
But unexpectedly, Song Hao continued to sell the broadcast rights of "Bright Sword" at the original price.
"Okay, okay, then let's do the same as before, 4 million per episode!" Director Lei seemed to feel that he had made a lot of money, and said that he would send a contract in two days.
After Director Lei left, Director Nie from Mango TV came.
Compared with Dragon TV, Mango TV only has one director.
From the perspective of attention, it seems to be a bit short.
Director Nie looked at Song Hao, and then said happily: "I didn't expect our Director Song to be so young."
"Hello, Director Nie." Song Hao smiled.
Director Nie explained: "Director Song, I don't mince words. I came here with the mission of the director. He asked me to get the broadcast rights of "Bright Sword", and it will be broadcast exclusively."
"Exclusive broadcast?" Song Hao laughed after hearing this.
Director Nie seemed a little surprised to see Song Hao, but he disagreed. Finally, he raised a price and said: "We are willing to pay 2.66 million for an episode to buy the exclusive broadcast rights of "Bright Sword". I don't know how to give it to the director."
Mango TV has always been known for keeping prices down.
Before coming, Director Ye from Mango TV told Director Nie that the maximum asking price should not exceed 3 million.
Therefore, Director Nie felt that paying 2.66 million for an episode was already one of the best prices for TV series in the country.
Song Hao will definitely be moved after hearing this.
But he didn't expect Song Hao to be unmoved after hearing this.
He shook his head and said, "I won't broadcast it exclusively. I may not be able to cooperate with Mango TV."
Director Ye thought that Song Hao thought the money was too little, so he raised the price and said: "I can apply to the director for 2.8 million for an episode. To be honest, this is already the highest price for a single episode of a TV series in China. I don't think CCTV can offer it either." It’s such a high price.”
"That's true." Song Hao answered truthfully: "After all, our TV series is cooperating with the official department, and it was originally planned to be broadcast on CCTV."
"That's right. Instead of doing this, it would be better to broadcast it exclusively on Mango TV. Maybe the director would be happy to pay 3 million for an episode." Director Nie seemed to think that what he said would reflect the wealth of Mango TV. .
But little did he know that in Song Hao's eyes, he was just a clown.
He did not expose it in person, but said in a roundabout way: "Forget it about exclusive broadcasting. After all, the person in charge of Dragon TV also approached me. Their price was higher than yours, and they didn't ask for exclusive broadcasting. I think it's possible Still can’t cooperate.”
Then Song Hao looked at the time and apologized: "Sorry, I have to continue filming, sorry for disturbing you."
After saying that, he went to the theater to continue filming.
This made Director Nie panic.
She quickly dialed Director Ye's phone number.
When Director Ye of Mango TV learned that Oriental TV had offered such a high price, they immediately increased their funding.
Director Nie has been waiting behind Song Hao to finish filming.
During this process, the crew also reminded Song Hao that Director Nie from Mango TV had not left yet.
But Song Hao thought that such an arrogant person should let her stay a little longer.
So I ignored it.
Until get off work in the evening.
Song Hao then looked at Director Nie in surprise and said, "Director Nie, haven't you left yet?"
Director Nie immediately stepped forward in embarrassment and said: "Director Song is like this. Director Ye and I just talked on the phone. Even if it is not exclusive, it does not matter if it is broadcast. He still hopes that "Bright Sword" can be broadcast on Mango TV."
"I don't think it's necessary. Three TV channels should be enough." Song Hao declined calmly.
Director Nie fought for it again: "Director Song, why don't you make an offer? I will report to the station director and discuss whatever you offer."
"Then 6 million episodes."
Director Nie's eyes widened when he heard what Song Hao said.
What? !
6 million an episode? !
Are you crazy? !
In the evening, when Director Ye learned about Song Hao's quotation, he even frowned.
Although he really wants to win the broadcast rights of this TV series.
But the price of 6 million per episode is really scary.
If the ratings are not phenomenal, the advertising dollars earned from it may not be enough to cover the costs.
At this time, Director Nie recommended an Anti-Japanese War drama: "Director Ye, in fact, not long ago, there was an Anti-Japanese War drama "Moving towards the Gunfire", starring Wu Qilong. His previous Qing Dynasty costume drama had very high ratings on our Mango Channel. Yes, if we introduce this drama, we may be able to use the fans he has accumulated on our station to get good ratings."
When Director Ye heard this, he asked: "How many do you need for this drama?"
"800,000 an episode."
After careful consideration, Director Ye believed that it was not that Song Hao's "Bright Sword" was unaffordable, but that Wu Qilong's "Moving towards the Gunfire" was more cost-effective.
Finally he said: "Okay, then buy this drama!"
After Director Nie heard the news, he immediately started to do it.
Director Ye was sitting in his office, thinking about Dragon TV who bought the broadcasting rights of "Bright Sword", and he couldn't help complaining, spending 6 million to buy an episode of the Anti-Japanese War drama. How stupid would it be to do this?
Even though Song Hao has produced a lot of excellent works, isn't 6 million for an episode an obvious money scam? !
In comparison, Wu Qilong's "Moving towards the Gunfire" may also be able to win a lot of ratings!
over time.
Song Hao's "Bright Sword" comes to an end.
With everyone's efforts, the project was successfully completed! !
Asking for a monthly ticket!
Asking for a monthly ticket!
