online.
Audiences are actively discussing what box office figures "Changjin Lake" will achieve.
But for Song Hao, today's box office data is just a number.
He doesn't care how much money the movie can bring him.
The most important thing is that this movie, the quality it shows as a tribute movie and the resonance it brings to the audience, can be perfectly presented, and that is enough.
Especially the fact that Director Qian applied for him to join the Propaganda Department illustrates a truth.
Follow the country and you will never suffer.
As for what the military rank is, he is not worried.
He knew that the superiors would definitely give him a suitable position based on his contribution.
at the same time.
There are also calls from abroad.
Many people want to see this great masterpiece.
Especially the Chinese people living outside their homes have equally strong patriotism.
Of course, "Changjin Lake" is a war film after all, and its audience is not particularly wide.
And people in other countries don’t have much resonance.
Therefore, even if "Changjin Lake" is released abroad, it will not cause a particularly big shock.
In this regard, Song Hao decided that the next movie he will shoot will start to compete at the global box office.
Took a month's rest.
The box office data of "Changjin Lake" continues to break records.
It has reached a box office of 7.1 billion!
This is already a very scary statistic.
The overseas version of "Changjin Lake" has also been released in other countries.
As soon as it was released, it aroused admiration from many foreign friends.
Especially YouTube blogger Donnie.
During the live broadcast, he looked at the camera with almost admiration and said: "Hey, Director Song, you are really the most admired director in my life. I have never seen such a beautiful and touching movie."
Other netizens also commented in the comment area.
"Although I don't know how significant this battle is to the people of China, I can see from this movie the determination of the Chinese soldiers to win. They clearly know that they must I have not seen such a spirit and belief in defending our homeland in any country."
"Yes, I think so too. When I saw them rushing forward without hesitation, I cried."
"China is a magical country. I really want to travel when I have time."
"China has gone through thousands of years."
It is precisely because of Song Hao that more and more netizens have become curious about the country of China.
The overseas box office of "Changjin Lake" reached 18 million US dollars in one week.
This is simply a qualitative leap for a domestic war film.
Even Director Mike, who has always been famous for making war films, after watching this film "Changjin Lake", he said on Twitter: "I can't imagine that this film was directed by a young director under 30 years old. Creation, I really want to get to know him!"
Just when the outside world was discussing "Changjin Lake", Chen Daoming found Song Hao.
"President Chen." Song Hao shouted politely.
Chen Daoming laughed, "I am not the president now, you are the president."
"In my heart you are the president." Song Hao smiled.
Chen Daoming immediately said: "Your "Changjin Lake" is breaking box office records every day."
"It's also thanks to everyone's support, otherwise there wouldn't be so much box office data." Song Hao answered.
"I'm here today. In addition to congratulating you on "Changjin Lake", I also want to discuss something with you." Chen Daoming explained: "It's like this. Your achievements are already very high in domestic films." This also allows us older generation artists to see the hope of China Film and Television, so I wonder if you can expand China Film and Television and let people around the world know how awesome our Chinese films are."
"What President Chen means is"
Chen Daoming replied: "What I mean is whether you can make a movie that will be jointly released around the world. You always have to go abroad and deliver more high-quality movies to every corner."
Hearing this, Song Hao also understood what Chen Daoming meant.
He nodded and explained: "Understood, that is to say, President Chen hopes that I will make a movie that can be liked by audiences around the world."
"Yes, once you open the door to the world market, then our Chinese films will become more famous. Then there will be more opportunities to win awards at places like the Cannes Film Festival and the Berlin Film Festival." Chen Added tomorrow.
Song Hao reminded at this time: "If this is the case, then the theme of this movie must be liked by people all over the world, and it must be a popular movie."
Chen Daoming asked: "The only movie theme that people all over the world like is love. You have previously filmed a TV series "Parental Love", which has been popular in more than 10 countries. It’s a good example, why don’t you just make a classic love movie?”
After hearing this, Song Hao thought about it carefully.
He felt that what Chen Daoming said made sense.
Then he nodded and said, "Okay, Chairman Chen, I will seriously consider it. Don't worry, this year's mission is to let Chinese films go abroad and let people all over the world see our film works."
"Okay, I just like your confidence." Chen Daoming nodded and left immediately.
Wait until Chen Daoming leaves.
Song Hao also sat on the chair and started thinking.
In fact, he had considered what Chen Daoming said before.
And the themes they think about are the same.
For a popular theme, it must be a romance film.
If it is a love movie, which one can impress people all over the world?
suddenly.
Song Hao thought of a movie.
Click on the mall immediately and start searching.
Title - "Titanic"!
The movie "Titanic" is a romantic love disaster movie co-financed by 20th Century Fox and Paramount Pictures.
Premiered on November 1, 1997.
Won 11 awards including Best Picture and Best Director at the 70th Academy Awards.
It mainly tells the background of the incident in 1912 when the Titanic cruise ship struck an iceberg and sank during its first voyage.
It tells the touching story of two people from different classes, Jack, a poor painter, and Rose, an aristocratic woman, who abandoned their worldly prejudices and fell in love. In the end, Jack gave up his chance of life to Rose.
This film moved people all over the world.
"Jack", "Ruth" and the song "My Heart Will Go On" are deeply engraved in people's hearts.
And "Titanic" is the only romance film in the top ten global box office today.
It can be said that "Titanic" is a highlight in the history of film, a romantic epic of love and disaster.
It tells about love, but depicts love as grand and sacred.
It tells about the disaster, but shows the disaster in a romantic and touching way.
The film uses flashback techniques, with a group of people searching for diamonds on the Titanic, and an elderly Ruth recounting her experience on the ship.
Although this technique has also been used in many movies, including some classic movies, such as "The Pianist" and "The Shawshank Redemption".
Usually, the narration of the characters after returning to reality is inserted many times in the middle, which can subtly integrate the artistic beauty of literature into the movie, and can also play a role in advancing the plot and buffering emotions.
As the plot progresses, the love process between the male protagonist Jack and the female protagonist Rose slowly begins.
From the time the two met, got acquainted, got to know each other, and fell in love, the process was full of ups and downs.
Of course, the sinking of the Titanic was terrifying. The hull was tilting more and more, the stern was raised high, the huge propeller was exposed to the air, all the lights on the ship were extinguished, and there was no one in the vast Atlantic Ocean to rescue her.
Jack climbed on the board and Ruth said, "Jack, I love you."
This is the only confession in the whole film, at the moment of dying, the moment when expectations are about to be shattered.
Until finally, Ruth let go of Jack's hand and watched him quickly disappear into the dark blue water, watching the Atlantic Ocean swallow up her most perfect memory.
It can be said that this movie is full of fantasy about love.
While worrying about gains and losses, the death of the male protagonist was used to create a classic.
Most importantly, this is a real event.
It resonates more with the audience. Think before and then.
Song Hao decided to shoot this "Titanic".
So he immediately redeemed the video.
Over the next week.
Song Hao is working on the script of "Titanic".
This movie is 194 minutes long, a love epic of more than three hours, which consumed all his energy this week.
When he finished the script, he decided to let all the female artists under the company come in to watch it.
When Ni Ni, Liu Shuangshi, Li Qinqin and others all came into the office, they didn't know what was about to happen.
"Is Director Song going to give out red envelopes?" Jin Chen thought that Song Hao was celebrating the new box office record of "Changjin Lake", so he specially called them to give out red envelopes.
Song Hao smiled and said: "A red envelope is too small to deserve me to call you all here. The main reason why I asked you all to come here today is because I want you to read a script."
Ni Ni was also curious: "What script is it?"
"After reading the script of a love movie, you can share your thoughts. If anyone is willing to recommend themselves to participate, you can also directly ask." Song Hao said directly.
Now, they all became curious.
You know, in the past two years or so, Song Hao has filmed "Infernal Affairs", "Wolf Warrior" and "Changjin Lake", and there are fewer and fewer scenes involving the heroine.
As former Song girls, they naturally want to continue to cooperate with their boss.
Who doesn’t want to be famous?
Ni Ni read the script.
When she saw the words Titanic, she was a little surprised: "I know this one. It seems to be a cruise ship from more than 100 years ago, right?"
Song Hao nodded: "Let me tell you the background story of this movie. This is a real event."
"Titanic, also known as Titanic, is an Olympic-class cruise ship under the jurisdiction of the European-British White Star Line. Construction started on March 31, 1909 at the shipyard in Belfast Port. It was completed in May 1911. It was launched on April 31st and completed on April 2nd, 1912 for sea trials."
Others were also surprised when they heard that this story turned out to be a cruise ship from more than 100 years ago.
"A story from more than 100 years ago?"
"Why don't I have much impression?"
"Me too."
Song Hao replied: "It's normal. If you don't understand it personally, you won't know this. This Titanic was the largest passenger cruise ship with the most luxurious internal facilities in the world at that time. The reputation of being unsinkable.”
"Unfortunately, on her first voyage, Titanic suffered misfortune - on April 14, 2012, Titanic collided with an iceberg, causing the starboard channel to rupture to the middle of the ship, leaving five watertight compartments. The cabin is flooded."
"In the early morning of the next day, the Titanic's hull broke into two pieces and sank to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean."
"Of the 2,224 crew members and passengers, 1,500 lost their lives, and only 333 of the victims' bodies were recovered."
"The sinking of the Titanic was the deadliest maritime disaster in peacetime, and its wreckage was not discovered again until 1985."
"And this story of mine happened on this Titanic."
After hearing this, everyone present was sighing.
"This is too tragic."
"If an accident occurs at sea, it will be a narrow escape from death." Li Qinqin answered.
At this time, Liu Shuangshi was watching the script seriously.
She has been attracted by the plot inside.
Soon, the six female artists present all looked at the contents of the script.
Zhao Jinmai even cried when he saw the fascinating place.
Two hours later, they all raised their heads and looked at Song Hao.
Song Hao asked: "Which one of you wants to act?"
Unexpectedly, they all answered in unison: "Director Song, we don't have the ability to play the heroine in this drama, you have to find someone else."
When Song Hao heard this, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
She never expected that these people would not dare to play the heroine of "Titanic".
But after thinking about it, I felt it was normal.
After all, this role is very classic.
If the performance is not good, I am afraid that people across the country and even the world will complain about it.
These female artists under their own banner are not very confident that they can play the role of Ruth in this drama.
There was no other way, Song Hao could only continue to look for a suitable actress.
For this reason, he set his sights on actors from other countries.
After all, this movie is based on Ou Ying.
If we could find characters that fit the movie at that time, it might be closer to the core of the story.
Makes it easier for people to relate.
He browsed online for actresses from all over the world.
Finally, he set his sights on a young girl named Kate Winslet.
This girl's appearance and temperament perfectly fit the image of the heroine of Titanic.
Song Hao then contacted Elizabeth Olsen, hoping to help contact the actress.
When Elizabeth Olsen learned that Song Hao was looking for Kate Winslet to make a movie, she immediately helped find the other party's contact information.
In this way, Kate Winslet came to China and met Song Hao for the first time.
The moment they met, Kate Winslet was surprised by the Chinese boy in front of her.
It turns out that China has such a handsome young director! !
Her eyes instantly glowed with goodwill.
New January! !
Asking for a monthly ticket! !
