Chapter 104: The Showdown Between Director Song and Director Zhang – Both Filmed on the Same Day! (Bonus Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets)
In the conference room.

Song Hao and the others are discussing.

Zhou Qian, as an investor, also attended the meeting.

They are discussing when to release the film.

Song Hao glanced at the time, circled a number on the calendar, and said, "How about June 20th?"

Just to be on the safe side, Zhou Qian asked her assistant, "Are there any famous movies being released on June 20th?"

The assistant checked and exclaimed in surprise, "It seems that Director Zhang's movie just announced its release date of June 20th."

These words immediately sparked discussion among the crowd.

"It seems that our last film, 'All or Nothing,' also clashed with Director Zhang's movie release."

"Yes, should we avoid this situation?"

"I don't think we're afraid. We surpassed Director Zhang's films last time, so what's there to be afraid of? Besides, we made such a good film, 'Dying to Survive'!"

"That's right."

Song Hao laughed and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter when it's released or what other movies are showing at the same time. As long as our work is good enough, that's fine. Otherwise, even if the whole theater shows your movie, if it's not good, no one will go in to buy a ticket."

He looked at Zhou Qian and said, "Sister Qian, what do you think?"

Zhou Qian recalled the China Film Festival at the end of last year, where Director Zhang won both the Best Film Award and the Best Director Award.

She watched that live stream too.

Zhou Qian was very angry that Song Hao didn't win those two awards.

He has won so many awards.

The two most important ones ended up in Director Zhang's hands.

So she looked at Song Hao and said, "Director Song, are you confident? If you are, we can release it on the 20th."

"If I didn't have confidence, I wouldn't have made this movie," Song Hao said with a smile.

then.

"Dying to Survive" is officially scheduled for release on June 20th!
As soon as this news came out.

Netizens quickly started following the story.

Just half a day ago, the official account of "One Second" announced its release date as June 20th, and then "Dying to Survive" announced the same date right after that.

It would be strange if it weren't a coincidence.

"Oh my god, is Director Song planning to sabotage Director Zhang's movie?"

"Hahaha, is this like Huawei targeting OPPO?"

"I think it's just a coincidence, because after June 9th, high school students will be on holiday, and after the 20th, summer vacation will begin. It's normal for it to be released during this time."

"I think Director Song still remembers what happened at last year's China Film Festival."

For a time, netizens had a variety of opinions.

Self-media and bloggers have also started to set the tone.

Are directors Song and Zhang vying for this year's Best Film award?

[Seemingly unintentional, but actually deliberate? Director Song's precise sniping!]

[Dying to Survive VS One Second: A True Clash of Titans!]

The titles of these videos are increasingly outrageous.

However, Director Zhang was unaware of this.

His film "One Second" took two months to shoot, plus more than a month of post-production.

Whether in the creative process or in later work, he does everything himself.

This is all to ensure the quality of the film.

He is confident that this film will be able to break through his own artistic themes.

Even during filming, he told the crew, "Film is used to express, to convey, to tell the story of an era. In that era, watching movies was the only form of entertainment. Many stories can happen about movies."

"The ingenuity of 'One Second' lies in using film to tell the story of a specific era and the people living in it. It does not cheer, judge right and wrong, weep uncontrollably, or make strong accusations."

"It writes with gentle strokes: there were no bad people in that era; they were people who had no choice in the matter, people who were trying to live, and people who still had genuine feelings."

Every time Director Zhang finished speaking, the crew members around him would applaud.

They looked as if they had been influenced by the teachings.

But in reality, no one knows whether they agree with Director Zhang's views.

Soon, the promotional video for "One Second" was released.

In the story, Fan Wei plays a projectionist who is an extreme egoist.

The destruction of the film was clearly his son's fault, yet he publicly shifted the blame to his apprentice, suspecting that his apprentice, who was a relative of the factory manager, was after his position.

In this scene, Director Zhang was quite shocked by Fan Wei's performance.

This scene was also captured on camera.

It was then included in the promotional video.

The title was: [Fan Wei's acting skills surprised the director!]

For a time, many people were attracted by this title.

They all looked over.

"Wow, even Director Zhang was surprised! Fan Wei's scenes must be amazing!"

"Is Mr. Fan Wei playing the projectionist?"

"Oh, Teacher Zhang Yi is here too."

"This is definitely going to be a good show!"

"I heard it's also a realistic subject, truly reflecting the events of that turbulent era."

Just as everyone was discussing it.

the other side.

The official statement from "Dying to Survive" has been released.

The film's producers will donate 500 million yuan to leukemia-related organizations after the film's release.

Furthermore, for every 100 million yuan in total box office revenue, an additional 500,000 yuan will be donated to a professional charity primarily supporting leukemia patients. This news, while surprising, also felt somewhat expected.

It's worth noting that back in Song Hao's previous film, "Operation Mekong," he donated all of his box office earnings to charity.

Keep in mind, that was a film with a box office of over 20 billion!

Song Hao kept his promise and donated all the money to the police officers who sacrificed their lives and to the cause of anti-drug publicity.

The movie "Dying to Survive" has not yet been released.

The government then donated 500 million yuan to leukemia-related organizations in one go.

For every 100 million yuan in box office revenue, an additional 500,000 yuan will be donated.

People greatly admired Song Hao and the investors of "Dying to Survive" for their actions.

"You guys are truly role models!"

"I'll definitely support you then!"

"Keep it up! The box office must turn out well!"

"I'll watch it three or four times then!"

In no time, both "One Second" and "Dying to Survive" became trending topics.

Everyone is curious to see who will win in a battle between two gods!

night.

National Advisor Zhang is having a meal.

He was holding his phone when he inadvertently saw the trending topics.

He then frowned and asked, "Xiao Liu, when was the release date for 'Dying to Survive' announced?"

Assistant Xiao Liu immediately replied, "It's the release date announced today."

Upon hearing this, Director Zhang remained calm: "So it's released at the same time as our movie."

Xiao Liu quickly reassured him, "Don't worry, Director Zhang, our movie will definitely be better than theirs."

"What? Xiao Liu, are you trying to comfort me?" Director Zhang asked back.

Xiao Liu was a little embarrassed for a moment.

Actually, she sometimes couldn't quite grasp Director Zhang's temper.

So much so that now, Xiao Liu doesn't know whether he's actually angry or not.

Director Zhang patted her head and said, "When have I ever been afraid of other directors when making movies? Right?"

"That's right." Xiao Liu blushed slightly.

"After dinner, have the publicity team release more promotional videos, and we also need to do a good job of behind-the-scenes footage of the movie, and promote it in more cities."

"clear."

Song Hao's "Dying to Survive" was promoted as a commercial film.

Therefore, the Anti-Fraud Bureau, Jinling Culture and Tourism Bureau, and Anti-Drug Bureau cannot openly provide assistance.

I can only occasionally share promotional videos about "Dying to Survive".

Fortunately, Song Hao's film is a realistic work about medicine, so it's reasonable to promote it.

in the office.

Director Zhang from the Anti-Fraud Bureau asked with concern, "Xiao Song, are you confident about your movie?"

It just so happened that Director Long from the Anti-Drug Bureau was visiting today, so he invited Song Hao over for a chat.

"Of course," Song Hao said with a smile.

Director Long said expectantly, "I've heard that you made a movie about the Lu Yong case. You're really daring, kid."

"Of course! You wouldn't believe it, when Director Jiang of the Drug Administration heard that this kid was going to film this case, his face changed completely. He was even more frightened than you were when you heard that Xiao Song was going to film the Mekong River case," Director Zhang teased mercilessly.

After all, Director Jiang from the Drug Administration Bureau was not present.

Director Long remarked, "Although the Drug Administration can't use this film as a promotional video, it's fine this way. It allows you to make a commercial film under your own name, avoiding being constantly associated with our official channels and being gossiped about."

"You should strive to surpass the box office of 'Operation Mekong'," Director Zhang encouraged.

"That's absolutely impossible!" Director Long said confidently. "I guarantee it won't be surpassed! Whether it's production or content, 'Operation Mekong' is definitely number one this year!"

Song Hao did not refute these words.

But he knew.

If all goes well.

"Dying to Survive" should easily surpass "Operation Mekong" at the box office.

Now we're just waiting for the day it's released.

However, it seems that only Song Hao has such unwavering confidence.

Even the blogger [Free Bird], who has always supported Song Hao, mentioned in this video: "Many fans and netizens have asked me whether 'Dying to Survive' can surpass the box office performance of 'Operation Mekong' and asked me to make a prediction. Although I am looking forward to 'Dying to Survive' and am also very interested in the content of this movie, to be honest, it is really difficult to surpass the box office performance of 'Operation Mekong'."

This has led more and more netizens to lower their expectations for "Dying to Survive" from the very beginning.

It could be a good movie and achieve good box office results.

But it certainly can't surpass the box office of "Operation Mekong".

This is what everyone tacitly agrees on.

This was the idea everyone had until the release of "Dying to Survive".

However, Song Hao believes that the day of its release will overturn everyone's expectations.

As time goes by.

Both "One Second" and "Dying to Survive" are being actively promoted.

The release date is getting closer.

at last.

The date is March 19th.

The day before the film's release!
