No one present would have imagined that it has been a long time since they saw a Chinese film win an award at the Oscars.
And also won five awards.
Although there are three awards, they are all appetizers.
But this is compared to major awards such as Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor.
You know, looking at the entire film industry, how many movies can win an Oscar award.
In the eyes of professionals, "Titanic" has earned enough attention tonight.
This also made Hollywood executives feel ashamed.
Because only two of their films won awards this year, they are obviously not satisfied.
Plus it still lost to "Titanic".
They even felt that the Oscar organizing committee’s selection this time was unfair.
Chairman Feili even believed that the organizing committee did this entirely to cater to the Chinese market.
Of course, facing such a result, he had no other choice but to accept it calmly.
However, Chairman Philly, as a senior leader in Hollywood, naturally made more detailed preparations for the next movie plan.
He knew that if he did not attack China's Song Hao, the international film market would most likely be divided by Chinese films.
By that time, the calling card of Hollywood movies may have to be replaced by Song Hao.
This is obviously unacceptable to Chairman Philly.
The news that Song Hao won five Oscars suddenly spread to the country.
Many netizens on the Internet are very excited.
"Director Song is so awesome."
"Yeah, I never thought that Director Song could win five Oscars."
"I thought Director Song would accompany me this time.
"Are you kidding? Director Song's "Titanic" is so awesome, and it has already reached the top three at the box office. If the Oscar organizing committee does not award him an award, it would be a dereliction of duty on the part of the organizing committee. ”
"It's a pity that the best director is not Director Song. Why?"
"Actually, this is the spring and autumn style of the organizing committee. The purpose is to please these North American film companies."
"Although these film companies in North America, such as Hollywood, they did not produce a very representative film in the past year."
"But the organizing committee still has to give a heavyweight award to their own local film. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble."
"Indeed, if the film "Call Me Killer" was not released together with director Song's "Titanic", it might really be possible to win a higher box office."
"Hahahaha, Hollywood originally wanted to attack Director Song, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise."
"I think Director Song should continue to shoot some international blockbusters. Only in this way can he continue to consolidate his international status."
"Master, our heroes have the same vision."
Now that Song Hao has won five Oscars, he has also attracted the attention of many local media in North America.
For this reason, he also appeared on a North American program.
In the show, the host admired his shooting talent.
Many people present were also shocked by his box office performance.
After the interview, he also returned to the country.
When we got off the plane, almost all the domestic mainstream media were waiting outside the airport.
"Director Song, you won five Oscars this time. It can be said that you broke many records. What do you think?"
Song Hao smiled and replied: "Actually, I don't have any thoughts. I just want to say that as a filmmaker, I have to continue to work hard."
"Now the movie 800 has reached a box office of 4.1 billion. Does this meet your expectations for this movie?"
Song Hao explained: "It doesn't matter whether the movie 800 meets my expectations. What's important is that it has a box office of 4.1 billion. To a certain extent, it can be regarded as fulfilling everyone's expectations for this movie. It can be seen that no matter In terms of the quality of the movie and the style of the main theme, the audience likes the movie 800."
"So Director Song, which movie will you shoot next? Will Changjin Lake 2 or The Wandering Earth 2 be put on the agenda?"
Song Hao thought for a while and finally said: "It should be so, but I'm not sure yet. I'm too tired. I'd better rest more before making plans for the next filming."
After the interview, Song Hao returned to the company.
According to his plan, he originally planned to start preparing for Changjin Lake 2 or The Wandering Earth 2 after finishing the movie 800.
But President Chen Daoming found himself at this time.
"Xiao Song, congratulations on winning the Oscar." President Chen Daoming said cheerfully.
Song Hao thanked: "Thank you, President Chen."
"I am no longer the president, you are the president now, so you have to pay attention." Chen Daoming reminded.
"Okay, Teacher Chen." Song Hao smiled.
Chen Daoming continued: "Then what are your plans next?"
Song Hao replied: "Are you talking about movies? Next I am thinking of putting Changjin Lake 2 or The Wandering Earth 2 on the agenda."
After hearing this, Chen Daoming thought for a while.
Song Hao knew that he must have something to remind him when he called, so he took the initiative to ask: "Teacher Chen, do you have any ideas?"
Chen Daoming said on the other end of the phone: "Actually, this is what I think. You can indeed start preparing for Changjin Lake 2 or The Wandering Earth 2 now, but I personally think that your film, "Titanic" "Winning the Oscar is the best time to hit the international market. If you make another major international production, I think this will greatly consolidate your international status."
Chen Daoming's words also made Song Hao think seriously.
He was right, the whole world was watching him now.
As an international film giant, Hollywood will definitely send more big productions in the future.
If you spend a year or two at this time, shoot Changjin Lake 2 or The Wandering Earth 2.
Although the box office of these two types is definitely guaranteed in mainland China.
But for the international market, these two movies are not so popular.
Maybe The Wandering Earth 2 is better because it belongs to the Sci-Fi Channel after all.
Everyone loves to watch it.
However, Changjin Lake 2 will have a special resonance for audiences in East Asia, but movie fans in other regions do not have such feelings.
If you can make an international movie like "Titanic", it may be a good choice.
So Song Hao listened to what Chen Daoming said.
After hanging up the phone, he began to think about international movies.
If you want to come up with a movie that will shock the whole world.
In addition, the current 3D technology movies in this world are not particularly sophisticated.
Maybe "Avatar" is a good choice.
You must know that "Avatar" was originally a science fiction movie directed by James Cameron and reached a box office of 2.7 billion US dollars.
From a commercial perspective, the filming cost alone reached US$500 million, including publicity and distribution expenses during this period, which was a huge expense.
Of course, from a commercial perspective, the returns are considerable. Although there were only two minor awards at the Oscars, the success of this film cannot be denied.
Among them, the first reason for the success of "Avatar" is the charm of its script.
The storyline unfolds between reality and the illusion of the future. The greed of human nature, the beauty of paradise, and the charm of love. In the context of the financial crisis, this movie finds a place of spiritual sustenance for those who are unable to change reality.
The little characters, the little story, and the non-existent Pandora planet have been recognized by people around the world who watched this movie.
Song Hao knew that this script was quite powerful.
And the technical breakthrough of this film is also very important.
Filmed using a self-developed 3-D camera, this system uses two Sony HDCF950HD cameras to create a three-dimensional and realistic environment.
The self-developed advanced stereo camera, perfect preview technology during shooting, and working camera collaboration "motion capture" can record fleeting expressions and move the camera freely in the CG world.
Nowadays, in the entire film market.
Many directors don't shoot with cameras like this.
Not only does it consume supplies, but it also wastes time.
This has also caused the breakthrough of real IMax3D movies to stall.
Cameron also spent a lot of money on promoting this movie.
The cost was 350 million U.S. dollars, and the promotion and distribution expenses were 150 million U.S. dollars, a total of 500 million U.S. dollars. It is called "the most expensive movie in history."
Coupled with the influence of Fox Film Company at that time, the publicity and production of the large company itself was a kind of powerful publicity, and there was excellent planning and production in the production.
"Avatar" attracts the public from its storyline. It is full of gorgeous scenes, various strange animal models, and unknown planets, all of which guide the public to watch the movie.
Now, if Song Hao has also used the latest 3D technology to produce the film, as well as the IMAX standard giant screen, it will be shown to theater audiences.
With such a strong visual shock, he believes that the box office miracle it will bring will not be lower than that of "Titanic".
Then he called Director Zhao of the Land Affairs Department. When Song Hao told Director Zhao his idea, the director immediately expressed his support: "Yes, I think your idea is right. It should be like this. Now you have it." For Oscar awards, you should make another international blockbuster and then attack the international market. As for Changjin Lake 2, don’t worry. I have already started to arrange it with the official department according to the requirements you mentioned. As long as you finish filming your movie, what do you think? You can take photos at any time.”
"Okay, thank you, Director Zhao."
"Look what you said, come on, bring glory to our Chinese movies." Director Zhao encouraged.
In this way, Song Hao decided to take advantage of this opportunity to enter the international market.
So he posted a message on Weibo.
[Hello everyone, many people are asking about my next film plans. Originally, I also wanted to put The Wandering Earth 2 and Changjin Lake 2 on the agenda, but I think I should make a film with a wider audience. Next, I A truly 3D international movie will be made, so please stay tuned. 】
When netizens saw this sentence, their comments immediately exploded.
Song Hao's news was like a meteorite falling into the sea, causing thousands of waves and instantly detonating the Internet.
"Director Song is finally back, and he brought such shocking good news as soon as he appeared. I am excited again, because another masterpiece worth looking forward to is coming out."
"Sure enough, Director Song is destined to enter the international stage. If this is the case, then this 3D science fiction masterpiece produced by Director Song will fill the shortcomings of domestic themes. Thank you for having a team like Director Song to bring glory to the country."
"Unbelievable! It surprises me. Director Song will definitely create a classic that will be handed down from generation to generation. I must support it and pre-purchase 10 movie tickets in advance to watch it with my family and friends."
"Director Song is mighty! The expectations are off the charts, Director Song is forever a god!"
"Director Song's upcoming 3D science fiction masterpiece will undoubtedly prove to the world that the science fiction theme of Dragon Kingdom is not a weak point. The previous unsatisfactory results were just because there was no director Song to lead. Once Director Song takes action, it will definitely shock the world. .I can’t wait to imagine this movie wowing the world.”
Just when Song Hao announced the 3D science fiction masterpiece he was going to shoot, his assistant told him that many people came to contact the company.
"Among them, nearly 30 first-line stars in China are looking for a suitable role."
"Not only domestic, but also many international movie stars abroad. Here is a message from Morgan Freeman. Take a look."
Song Hao naturally knew Freeman, but he didn't expect that he would actually send him a message himself.
[Hello, Director Song, I am Morgan Freeman. I heard that you are going to shoot an international science fiction masterpiece. I wonder if I will be lucky enough to participate in your movie. 】
Song Hao is too familiar with this black actor.
No matter what role he plays, people will have an illusion. That role is that he sometimes sees a strange movie and suddenly finds that he is playing a certain role in it, and he will find that the strangeness suddenly becomes so familiar.
His famous works include "Driving Miss Daisy", "Seven Deadly Sins" and so on.
Not just Morgan Freeman, but even Will Smith personally called.
"Hello, Director Song Hao, I'm Will Smith. Maybe you haven't heard of me."
Song Hao smiled and said, "No, no, no, I remember Will Smith's name deeply in my mind."
Will Smith was very surprised on the other end of the phone: "Wow, it seems you have seen my movie."
"That's natural."
"I heard that you are going to shoot a 3D science fiction film. If there is a suitable role for me, I can come over at any time."
"Okay, then it's settled."
The assistant was very surprised when faced with this phenomenon.
She asked Song Hao: "Director Song, this is too exaggerated. These foreign first-line stars actually approached you for roles."
"The fact that I was able to win 5 awards at the Oscars is enough to show my strength, and they also know that "Titanic" has a total box office of 2.4 billion US dollars. If it hits the international market again, it will be even worse. It won’t be much worse, this is a good opportunity to increase your worth.” Song Hao explained.
However, he did not choose actors randomly, but based on the suitable role.
Everyone had to come in for an interview, and only those who really fit the role could stay for the shoot.
As a result, when waiting for the interview, there were dozens of artists and celebrities coming to the scene.
This frightened the staff on site.
"Zhang Hanyu, Jin Chen, Wang Chuanjun, Ni Ni, Liu Shuangshi"
"Morgan Freeman, Kate Winslet, Jason Statham, Will Smith"
There was a young girl who had just joined the job. She started to tremble when she saw the actors in action.
She took a photo and posted it online.
As soon as the photo came out, comments from netizens exploded! !
Isn't this the strongest cast movie in history? ? ! !
Asking for a monthly ticket! ! !
