When netizens learned that Song Hao was going to film "Eight Hundred", everyone became excited.
"Oh my god, is it true? Is Director Song going to make the movie "Eight Hundred"?"
"It seems like it's true. Director Song really listened to what we said."
"yes."
Song Hao also built a main photography venue on the demolition site with the support of the official department.
The official departments of the Magic City and Gusu City are naturally aware of Song Hao's appeal.
Maybe because of this movie, many people will come to visit.
The Sihang Warehouse Museum will definitely be popular.
Therefore, the official departments of Magic City are also very cooperative.
And let the workers create the appearance of the concession and Sihang Warehouse in one month.
Although this is a very serious challenge.
But they also tried their best to cooperate.
And here at the box office.
The box office numbers for the movie "Titanic" are still rising.
During this period, more and more people began to interview Song Hao.
Song Hao's schedule is even full.
They really want to know the mood and scenes when filming "Titanic".
Song Hao said with a smile: "Actually, when filming "Titanic", I felt very relaxed. After all, this is my first love movie. Of course, my attitude towards this movie is still the same as other movies. I don't have any of laxity.”
"Then I would like to ask Director Song, there are still many netizens who don't know much about the movie "Eight Hundred" that you are going to shoot next. Maybe you can hold a live broadcast to explain it."
"Okay, I will definitely do it another day."
Perhaps it was the reporter's unintentional suggestion that made Song Hao take notice.
He started Douyin live broadcast one night.
When netizens learned that Song Hao was going to start a live broadcast, they went to his live broadcast room one after another.
They had too many questions to ask Song Hao.
However, Song Hao played a historical documentary at this time.
[After the Battle of Songhu, all troops completely evacuated the city, leaving only the troops destined to die or die - the 1st Battalion of the 523rd Regiment.
Even so, the battalion commander Xie Jinyuan led 400 warriors and still fought hard to defend without flinching, leaving behind touching stories of the first four lines of 800 warriors.
At 2 a.m. in October 1937, Sihang Warehouse.
It was a six-story reinforced concrete building. Because it was the warehouse of a joint business office established by the Shanghai Bank of Shanghai at that time, it was called the Four Lines Warehouse by the people of Shanghai.
At this time, the warehouse was full of footsteps and people.
"All the doors and windows on the first floor were blocked with sandbags and grain."
"Half of the windows above the second floor are blocked. You can throw grenades when the time comes."
"Cut off all power supplies and don't let the enemy use the wires to set fire."
Orders were passed on one after another, and groups of soldiers shuttled back and forth in the warehouse.
"Do a head count and write down everyone's name."
The reason for issuing this order is that the chief hopes that this list can be passed on so that after all of them die for the country, the country will give preferential treatment to the families of the martyrs.
"This warehouse is our last position." Xie Jinyuan said loudly in front of everyone: "It may also be our tomb."
"But as long as there is one of us left, we must fight the enemy to the end. Do you understand me?"
"Listen clearly!!"
In the next four days, this incomplete army will be known to the entire China and even the world.
Then they also remembered the commander of this unit, Xie Jinyuan.
In fact, there were only about 400 people in the whole camp at that time. In order to confuse the enemy, it was called "800 people", so there were later 800 warriors guarding the four lines.]
While watching the documentary, Song Hao didn't say a word.
The number of viewers watching the live broadcast exceeded 5 million.
This surprised Douyin officials.
The 5 million viewers did not buy goods or watch the anchor perform his talents, but patiently watched the documentary played by Song Hao.
At the same time, the official department of Magic City also immediately contacted Douyin officials to push as many streams as possible.
Let more netizens and audiences see this documentary.
You must know that not many people come to commemorate this Sihang Warehouse Museum.
This is also a pain in the heart of the museum director Lei.
So when he learned that Song Hao was going to film the story of Sihang Warehouse, he was very happy.
Because he believed that these 400 warriors should not be forgotten, they should be remembered by the world.
Director Lei even kept promoting the news of Song Hao's live broadcast tonight on his official Weibo.
It was also on this night that many viewers became familiar with the history of Sihang Warehouse and the heroic deeds of its ancestors in Song Hao's live broadcast room.
Let the audience, who are younger generations, know that life now is not easy.
This is the meaning of history.
"So, that country is a feud with us. None of us are qualified to say forgiveness for our ancestors. Don't forget the national humiliation and let us strengthen ourselves."
"I'll go to Sihang Warehouse tomorrow to take a look."
"I want to go too."
"When will this movie be made?"
"I think that movies, as an important means of cultural propaganda in the contemporary era, can confidently promote the film materials of the Anti-Japanese War, the patriotic frontal battlefield, and the martyrs who faced the enemy. We must publicize them and praise them, and do not let future generations forget them."
"After watching the live broadcast last night, I understood that period of history. All Chinese people are like this, how dare Japanese pirates!!!"
Time passes day by day.
Song Hao's script has already been completed.
He invited many actors.
When Zhang Yi, Jiang Xiaowu, Wang Qianyuan, Zheng Kai and others learned that Song Hao was going to make an anti-war movie, they came to the company without saying a word.
Zhang Yi and Song Hao are also old partners.
When he saw Song Hao, he said happily: "Fortunately you came to me earlier, otherwise I would have almost accepted a movie."
"It's just a coincidence, I told you that there is a role in this drama that belongs to you." Song Hao said with a smile.
"Okay, let me take a look."
Not long after, Jiang Xiaowu, Wang Qianyuan, and Zheng Kai also came to the company.
After Song Haoyi exchanged pleasantries for a while, he led them into the office and looked at the script.
When Zhang Yi saw the scenes in the character he played, he was very happy: "I like to play this kind of small character, with tension."
And when Zheng Kai saw that he was about to jump into the enemy crowd with a grenade, and when he used the body bomb, his eyes became moist.
He understood that this period of history really happened.
So he decided on the spot: "Director Song, I don't have any problem with this role. As for the salary, you can just pay it as you see fit."
Song Hao said with a smile: "Zhang Yi has worked with me so many times. He knows who I am. I definitely can't look at the salary I give to everyone. I will give it very sincerely. Don't worry, I won't let anyone do it." You did it for nothing.”
In this way, none of the actors who came were unwilling to participate in Song Hao's movie.
After all, Song Hao's current film "Titanic" is still in theaters.
Now the global box office has exceeded 10 billion yuan.
What kind of concept is this? It's equivalent to two "The Wandering Earth" movies.
And "Titanic" is still rising.
According to this trend, it will not be a problem to enter the top 10 at the global box office.
So Zhang Yi and other actors were naturally very happy that Song Hao could invite him to make a movie.
Just as the preparations for the filming of "The Eight Hundred" were proceeding in an orderly manner, the official department of the Magic City told Song Hao that the main filming location had been constructed in advance.
It only took less than a month.
This surprised Song Hao.
He came to the filming location specially and found that the construction scene was almost exactly the same as what he had in mind.
"As expected, they are infrastructure workers from China. This speed is really fast."
Since "Eight Hundred" passed the review of the leaders, everything was green-lighted.
Song Hao turned on the phone directly.
On this day, the sun was shining brightly, and the number of media who came to record the opening ceremony was doubled compared to usual.
This is also thanks to the official department of Shanghai Magic City. In order to promote the film, they invited almost all mainstream media reporters.
"I announce that "Eight Hundred" is officially launched!!"
With the firing of each salute, Song Hao also officially entered the shooting phase.
Within the context of the play, each actor formally steps into their respective roles.
In 1937, at the end of the Battle of Songhu, the fierce fighting between the two sides had lasted for three months.
The situation in the Magic City worsened day by day, and many troops were scattered and scattered.
At this time, the people of Magic City who were affected by the war were eager to flee to the concession to find a safe place.
On the banks of the Suzhou River, it was windy and rainy, and chaotic people crowded in front of the only passage leading to the concession.
Sandbags and iron bars separated the bridge, and guards carefully checked the identity of each refugee and released them one by one.
An old man wearing a melon cap tried to sneak into the concession, but was discovered and stopped by a fierce bald guard.
Under the watchtower, a man with long, middle-parted hair peeled an apple carelessly.
He seemed to recognize the old man's military identity at a glance and warned coldly: "No soldiers allowed in."
The old man begged: "We are all our own people, just let me in!"
But the other party ignored his words.
The old man looked anxiously at the other people stopped by the guards, feeling desperate.
Just as he was about to step over the sandbag regardless of the warning, a knife originally used to peel apples suddenly appeared in front of his nose.
The man peeling the apple warned with fierce eyes: "Climb quickly!"
The old man knew that as long as he dared to step over, the knife would stab into his chest without hesitation.
It's a rainy night.
Therefore, when filming this content, artificial rainfall was required on site.
In order to watch the actors' condition, Song Hao walked back and forth in the rain.
"Okay! Click!"
"Very well done."
This was the first step in filming the film, and it passed very smoothly.
This also made the crew look forward to the next filming of the movie.
The next step is to photograph the soldiers on the north bank and the people on the south bank.
The roles of the two are completely different.
Facing completely different challenges.
On the North Shore, soldiers struggled for their lives.
In Nan'an, people use this as a way to adjust their lives.
At first, people on the south bank lived a comfortable life. Some cheered for the battle on the other bank, some watched, and some even opened gambling games to predict the outcome.
This seems to be a portrayal of "a business woman who does not know the hatred of subjugating her country".
However, with the sound of four lines of gunfire, the bombing and fighting on the north bank turned the audience on the south bank from spectators to participants.
They took action one after another. Some used slingshots to send supplies, some used blackboards to convey the enemy's situation, and some sent the blue sky and white sun flag regardless of life and death.
The two sides of the Taiwan Strait, which were originally clearly demarcated, are now closely connected.
Together they carry the steel backbone of the nation, like cement and sand mixed together, hardening into indestructible reinforced concrete.
In the story, the troops in Sihang Warehouse urgently need to get in touch with Shangfeng.
After learning the news, the residents of South Bank urgently called the phone line and planned to send it to Sihang Warehouse.
However, in order to prevent this action, the enemy sent snipers to guard the only bridge leading to Sihang Warehouse because of the sensitivity of the concession.
To avoid provoking an overreaction from the enemy, the organizers on this side of the concession decided not to send out large-scale death squads to escort the telephone lines.
Instead, they adopted the method of one hero after another risking their lives to try to deliver the line.
In this life-and-death battle, the bodies of countless warriors covered the bridge.
The knife, as the last stick to send the telephone line into the warehouse, symbolizes the important heart-to-heart connection between the military and civilians on the South Bank and the North Bank.
This event not only highlights the importance of the South Bank in the plot, but also elevates its status to almost the same level as the North Bank.
When filming this scene, Song Hao specially placed the shooting point on the extra actors.
The purpose is to be able to clearly feel pain and perform some normal physiological reactions when being shot.
But the performances of these extras were not very good.
Song Hao had been filming more than a dozen group performances, and then he selected a few from them.
The actors on the side looked at Song Hao's attitude, and they also knew that this movie carried all Song Hao's energy.
They must also complete it carefully.
The young actor who plays Knife also knows that Song Hao attaches great importance to this famous scene of running on the bridge.
After all, this is a relatively classic scene in "Eight Hundred".
If you don't act well, you may ruin the whole play.
So he kept acting.
Song Hao naturally had higher requirements for him.
"Click!"
"Click!"
"Click! No!"
"Click! Don't move!"
"Click!"
When Daozi heard Song Hao say "click", he didn't have too many emotions.
Instead, he calmly stood up and returned to the starting point, kept running back and forth, and fell down again and again.
Repeating it again and again, his eyes fell on the extras who had been lying on the ground.
It was on this bridge that he refused entry to a deserter.
Now, still on this bridge, he charged outside the bridge again and again, trying to get out completely.
In a daze, he felt integrated with the character Knife, and the scratches on his body and the bruises on his knees seemed to disappear.
He straightened his back and sprinted while holding the phone cord. As the gunfire rang out, his body swayed and he continued to rush forward.
He stared at the door of the warehouse, which was just around the corner, and threw the phone cord in his hand hard.
"I'm so happy!"
With a bloody roar and a gunshot, the body that had always been upright collapsed!
"good!"
“This is what it feels like!!”
Song Hao said happily!
In this way, the first famous scene of "Eight Hundred" was born!
It was enough to make all the plot staff present feel heartbroken.
Our ancestors back then suffered too much.
