"Let me go, are there so many people in the movie review this time?"
"All the major stars have gone to audition for Director Song's film. It seems to be a big production."
"This has to be the most awesome movie we've seen in years."
"I guess so."
"I'm really looking forward to it. What kind of 3D movie is it?"
"Don't think too much. Do you think the 3D movies we have seen over the years are good? I don't think they are anything special."
"I don't believe Director Song can make a good-looking 3D movie."
"Okay, okay, there is another person who doesn't believe it, right? Okay, let's question it first, and then believe it."
"Just sit back and wait for a slap in the face."
Many people on the Internet are discussing it enthusiastically.
But Song Hao didn't pay too much attention.
Naturally, he would not read the online comments about this matter.
Now, his only job is to screen actors.
At first, he was thinking about choosing the male and female protagonists.
After choosing for a while, I finally decided to let myself go.
As for other supporting roles, they have to go through many tests.
Soon, the actor assessment process began.
Song Hao personally selected the actors.
He has very strict requirements for actors.
At the assessment site, the star cast was so strong that other crew members were shocked.
The joining of these international superstars undoubtedly adds more highlights to the movie.
In addition to outstanding acting skills, Song Hao also pays special attention to whether the actor's personal image matches the role in the movie.
After rigorous selection, it took him three full days to finalize the cast.
After the actors were confirmed, Song Hao carried out a series of preparations, and then the film officially entered the shooting stage.
On the day of startup.
Almost half of the entertainment industry’s artists came to witness it.
Some of them sincerely congratulated Song Hao on his smooth start-up.
Some are taking this opportunity to get acquainted and see if they can get another role.
In any case, this Avatar has already attracted attention at home and abroad even before filming began.
The media is broadcasting three or four news reports a day, updating the news of Song Hao's shooting at any time.
However, after Song Hao turned on his phone, he seemed to have disappeared from the world.
Get immersed in the process of making movies.
Since this is a 3D work, many scenes are realized through textures, so the requirements for shooting scenes are not high, which makes the shooting process relatively easy.
The main challenge lies in shooting under green cloth, which tests the actor's mentality and acting skills.
Actors perform in an environment surrounded by green cloth. Although there is no actual scene around them, they need to imagine themselves in another environment and express corresponding emotions and states.
Take a scene from the movie Avatar as an example. The scene where the protagonist tames his mount was done under green cloth.
In this non-existent scene, Song Hao relied on his acting skills to perfectly present the character's status and movements, as if there was a real scene in his mind.
His expressions and demeanor are very real and can be believed to be real.
His actions and acting skills also surprised many celebrities present.
Many people are discussing it privately.
"Has Director Song really never made any movies before this?"
"'Titanic' is the first film directed by Director Song, and now it is the second film."
"Oh my god, this acting is like an actor's."
"When I watched his performance, I even doubted my acting ability."
"Hahahaha, there is no need to doubt it too much. After all, the movie "Titanic" has already proved Song Hao's acting skills."
The actors present were deeply shocked by Song Hao's non-physical performance. Morgan looked at Song Hao's acting skills and movements and couldn't help but sigh: "To be able to perform such an effect in such a non-physical state is the real magic." Acting.”
For those actors who have never seen Song Hao's works before, they are full of admiration.
Filming continues.
At this time, Liu Shuangshi, who happened to be acting in the crew next door, came to visit the crew.
Now Liu Shuangshi has become a first-line actress.
With Song Hao's help, he has taken on many costume dramas in the past two years.
It even set off a wave of Qing court travel.
This has also made Liu Shuangshi the idol of many girls.
Therefore, Liu Shuangshi has become more relaxed and generous than the shy person in previous years.
When the crew saw Liu Shuangshi, they greeted her excitedly: "Hello, Sister Shishi."
Liu Shuangshi smiled: "Hello, everyone, I'm here to treat you to some fruit."
"Thank you, Sister Shishi." When the crew opened the bag, they found that it was Che Lizi.
"Sister Shishi is so generous. Boxes of cherries. How much does it cost?"
"Sister Shishi has always been very generous. Every time she comes to visit the crew, she gets along well with us. She doesn't put on airs at all."
Liu Shuangshi came to the crew, although she has seen some storms in the past few years.
But when she saw the cast, she was still open-mouthed in surprise.
Song Hao stood beside her and said with a smile: "Why do you open your mouth so wide?"
Liu Shuangshi asked in surprise: "With so many international superstars, isn't your movie a big investment? Are you having financial difficulties?"
"If I say it's difficult, are you willing to help me raise some money?" Song Hao said with a smile.
Liu Shuangshi asked back: "How much is left? I'll see if I can make up for it."
"Half of your net worth." Song Hao replied deliberately: "Can you give it to me?"
Liu Shuangshi did not refuse, but nodded and said: "Then I will contact the company's finance tomorrow."
"fool."
Song Hao knocked her on the head: "I have been in the industry for many years, why do I still look so stupid?"
Liu Shuangshi pursed her lips: "You said it, I'm short of money."
"How could I be short of money? You have to know that I made a lot of money from the first two films "Titanic" and "800". You should keep that little money for yourself." Song Hao joked.
"But I really didn't expect that you would be willing to spend half of your wealth. It seems that I am quite important."
Liu Shuangshi shook her head: "Mainly, you are my boss. If the boss goes bankrupt, what will I do?"
"Am I only the boss?" Song Hao asked.
When asked this question, Liu Shuangshi felt a little shy and blushed.
Of course, others will not hear the conversation between them.
After a brief chat, Liu Shuangshi left.
After all, she was filming a movie right now and took time out to visit Song Hao.
Naturally, I can't waste too much time on my own crew.
Before Song Hao's film had yet to be filmed, heads of several distribution companies had contacted him.
Among them, Chen Tai, chairman of Haixing Film Company, even called personally.
Chen Tai said on the phone: "Director Song, I heard that you are preparing a new movie called "Avatar". I hope to discuss cooperation with you in terms of distribution. I wonder if you are free in the near future?"
After hearing what Chen Tai said, Song Hao responded succinctly: "Sorry, our company is responsible for the distribution of this movie."
Chen Tai felt helpless after hearing this. After all, Song Hao's own Guoteng Media already had a very high status and reputation in the country.
He was afraid that he would no longer be able to make a fortune from it.
He had no choice but to say: "Then let's wait until the next opportunity to cooperate again."
Despite the domestic distribution channels, Guoteng Media has already figured it out.
But foreign markets still need someone to develop and publicize.
Columbia Pictures is a very famous film distribution company in Europe and the United States. They have participated in many acclaimed Hollywood blockbusters.
Cohen, the boss of Columbia Pictures, is also a well-known rich man in Europe and the United States.
One day, Song Hao also received a call from Cohen.
Cohen introduced himself on the phone: "Hello, Director Song, I am Cohen, the chairman of Columbia Pictures. Is it convenient for you now?"
After hearing the other party's identity, Song Hao already guessed the other party's purpose, but still asked politely: "You're not too busy, what can I do for you?"
Cohen chuckled: "I recently saw news about your new movie on the Internet and was very interested. I think this movie is very consistent with the concept of Columbia Pictures, so I would like to discuss cooperation with you in terms of distribution. "
"I'm sorry, I have decided to let our company's international marketing department arrange the distribution rights for this movie." Song Hao replied.
Cohen continued to persuade: "Director Song, I think you may not know very well. Our company has very familiar publicity channels and methods in Europe and the United States. If your company is promoted in Europe and the United States, it may not go well. , I still hope we can cooperate.”
"It doesn't matter, I have already made a decision. I am very grateful to Chairman Cohen for his appreciation. We will have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future." Song Hao said euphemistically.
After hearing this, Cohen had no choice but to give up: "In that case, I won't bother you anymore. If you have a movie that needs to be distributed in Europe and the United States in the future, you can contact me at any time."
"I'm still very much looking forward to the opportunity to work with you, wish you all the best with your filmmaking, and look forward to your new work."
Song Hao rejected many powerful publishing companies in succession, which also made netizens on the Internet more and more excited.
"I think Director Song is really awesome. He is involved in filming, acting, and post-production, while his company is involved in distribution and promotion. It is like making a movie from scratch and completing it all at once."
"So this is our chief director in China."
"Has Director Song become our chief director in China now?"
"Don't you think so?"
"Yes, he has already won an Oscar, why do you still think he is not the chief director?"
Song Hao also knew that if the movie didn't go well, it would most likely be labeled as a pretentious one.
So he put a lot of effort into this movie.
Filming on Avatar continues.
Although faced with non-physical performances, many actors were confused at the beginning and could not find the correct feeling for the performance.
But under Song Hao's strict guidance, they understood that there was no possibility of perfunctory work.
Even seemingly simple pieces require repeated revision and polishing.
This also made many actors scream miserably.
During the filming process, sometimes actors will make suggestions for modifications to the script and are dissatisfied with their actions or lines.
Emma Roberts is one of them.
She found Song Hao, pointed to the lines in the script and said, "Director Song, I think this line does not match the action well and may have an impact on the actor's performance. Can we make some modifications?"
Song Hao flipped through the script, frowned slightly, and asked doubtfully: "This is the role that the character should play. You should have read the script before participating in the role, right?"
Emma Roberts replied awkwardly: "I didn't look carefully before."
Song Hao explained: "It is definitely not possible to change the script. Since I have determined the script, it means that every scene and every sentence has its own meaning."
"So, the script must not be touched."
Seeing how determined Song Hao was, Emma Roberts coughed twice and said, "Okay, then I'll just act according to the script. I'm sorry, Director Song."
It is precisely because of this incident that after taking the positive film, I saw the effect on the monitor.
Only then did Emma Roberts realize that the lines and actions required by Song Hao were all accurately executed.
She was completely convinced by Song Hao's shooting style.
Song Hao not only has strict requirements on others, but also strives for excellence in his own requirements.
He attaches great importance to the special effects makeup required for the plot, and never misses any detail even if it takes several hours.
With the joint efforts of all the crew and more than two months of filming, the film was finally completed successfully.
In fact, there are not many scenes that were actually shot in this movie.
Post-production is the focus.
At the closing banquet, all the cast and staff were present to celebrate.
After more than two months of getting along, everyone has become very familiar with each other.
When the dinner officially started, Elizabeth Olsen, who was sitting at the same table as Song Hao, stood up, held a wine glass and said to Song Hao: "Director Song, I want to toast you."
"This drink is mainly to thank you for guiding me during the filming process. I am truly honored to join the team of "Avatar"."
"If you think there is a role suitable for me in the future, you can call me at any time. Whether it is an audition or an assessment, I will take it seriously."
Song Hao smiled and said, "You are so polite to say this. We will all be a family from now on."
Other actors also toasted to Song Hao.
They have also learned a lot these days. It seems that if they stay in Song Hao's crew for a while, they will learn more than by themselves all these years.
The next day, the news of the completion of "Avatar" quickly became a hot search topic, arousing enthusiastic attention from netizens.
They expressed their opinions and expectations one after another.
"It's finally here! I don't know what kind of world Director Song will use his talent to create for us this time."
"This time my wallet is ready and ready to contribute to the box office of Director Song's new movie!"
"I have a hunch that this movie will definitely shock the whole world."
"Regardless of the quality of the movie itself, the director lineup alone is enough to inspire people. It is said that this movie has attracted many international superstars, which is already very impressive!~"
For a time, the movie "Avatar" shocked the world! !
Asking for a monthly ticket! !
