Chapter 41 You're really awesome at making movies, kid! (Please read on!)

At this moment, Zhou Qian also felt a little uneasy.

Although she was a director of Longxing Group and had seen many big events.

But this was the first time he had ever fooled officials.

She didn't know what would happen next.

Watching the monitor, Zhou Qian was constantly worried that Section Chief Chen might slam his fist on the table and start yelling at her.

But she saw that Song Hao was very calm, as if he was confident.

Zhou Qian had no choice but to place her hopes on Song Hao.

Hopefully, he can successfully fool Section Chief Chen.

At this moment, Section Chief Chen was looking at the monitor with a serious expression.

Although his mind was full of thoughts about the deputy director position six months from now, his eyes never left the screen for a second.

Yes, based solely on what we've seen so far, this film is a good film, both in terms of its historical significance and its artistic merit.

The plot is intricately woven and the pacing is delicate and smooth.

The key is the humanity it portrays, which is both powerful and moving.

Dong Dawei portrays Nationalist soldiers who use their bodies to block tanks.

This made Section Chief Chen's heart tremble violently.

The sons and daughters of China fight to protect their homeland.

They sacrificed their lives and shed their blood.

The goal is to ensure that this land of China is not violated in any way.

Despite the vast disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves, many soldiers fought with the mindset of "it's not a loss to trade one, and it's a huge gain to take two down with me."

Seeing this, Section Chief Chen gradually forgot about the deputy director's matter.

Especially after reading to the end.

When the enemy officer counted the number of female students and demanded that the thirteen female students go to the military camp to sing the next day, his fists clenched even tighter.

Everyone knows that once you enter the military camp, it's an abyss of torment.

Therefore, the female students wanted to jump off a building to preserve their innocence.

Meanwhile, the prostitutes played by Ni Ni and the others agreed to go to the military camp in place of the female students.

This fully embodies the idea that soldiers protect civilians and adults protect children.

This viewpoint has been tacitly passed down through thousands of years of Chinese civilization.

Whenever there's danger, it's always the same phrase: "Children and women go first!"

This has also contributed to the enduring greatness of Chinese civilization.

The last part of the surveillance footage shows Doukou dying tragically at the hands of the enemy while trying to find the strings.

Upon seeing this, Section Chief Chen, who had remained silent throughout, suddenly swore, "Damn it, you little dwarf!"

Because Song Hao only edited up to this point in the final cut, and there was still a short segment of filming to be completed.

So it ends here.

Seeing this, Zhou Qian looked at Song Hao, signaling him to speak.

But Song Hao smiled and shook his head, waiting.

He wasn't waiting for Section Chief Chen to speak first.

Instead, let him calm down first.

At this moment, Section Chief Chen was still recalling the scene from just now, and his anger was still burning in his heart.

Before long, he finally stood up.

He looked at Song Hao, and their eyes met.

He didn't speak for a long time.

Zhou Qian felt a little worried when she saw this.

Although Section Chief Chen was only a section chief, he held the power to review promotional videos, a power granted to him by the bureau chief.

If Section Chief Chen is dissatisfied with the play or finds anything inappropriate, he has the right to request modifications or replacements.

Of course, you can also pursue the path of theatrical release on your own.

Then this film will no longer be an official promotional video.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qian could only hope that Song Hao's ability to persuade her would work. But to her surprise, Section Chief Chen simply asked in a low voice, "How long will it take to finish filming?"

"We're already more than halfway through the project. If we're filming and editing simultaneously, the locations and everything else are readily available. It'll only take another two weeks," Song Hao replied.

Upon hearing Song Hao's words, Section Chief Chen remained silent.

He looked into Song Hao's eyes, and the resolute expression told him that Song Hao had ideals and ambitions.

Section Chief Chen understood why he wanted to film this subject matter in the form of a promotional video.

The purpose is to remind everyone that behind the current happiness of Nanjing lies a deeply unforgettable history.

This history must never be forgotten by any Chinese son or daughter.

This history must be remembered at all times.

Past experience guide for the future.

Only in this way can China grow and prosper.

Only in this way can Chinese civilization endure and flourish!

Thinking about this, Section Chief Chen hesitated.

Yes, he was once a passionate young man.

I've also fantasized that if one day I could travel back to that turbulent era, I might also leave my hometown and join the fight against the Japanese invasion.

But is this promotional video really good?
He wasn't the one who made the final decision.

His superior, Director Zheng, is the one.

Finally, Section Chief Chen said, "How about this, after filming for half a month, we'll show the finished product to Director Zheng. Whether it can be used as a promotional video for Nanjing's culture and tourism depends on whether Director Zheng approves it after watching it."

Upon hearing this, Song Hao smiled and then thanked him, saying, "Thank you for your support, Section Chief Chen."

"Xiao Song, you really—" Section Chief Chen sighed heavily, "If this were a commercial film you directed yourself, I would definitely support it without hesitation. But this concerns the entire Jinling Culture and Tourism Bureau, and I can't make the decision on my own."

"I understand. I hope Section Chief Chen can say a few good words for Director Zheng then," Song Hao replied.

Section Chief Chen could only nod in agreement.

Before leaving, he glanced at Song Hao and finally gave him a thumbs up, saying, "Putting aside the promotional video, you're really awesome at making movies."

This is the best compliment that Section Chief Chen could think of for Song Hao.

After Section Chief Chen left, Zhou Qian breathed a sigh of relief and then looked at Song Hao and said, "Now you can finish filming the whole movie. If Director Zheng doesn't agree to use it as a promotional video, I'll contact the leaders at the State Administration of Radio and Television to see if it can be approved."

"Thank you for your help, Sister Qian," Song Hao said cheerfully.

Zhou Qian then complained, "Because of this, I haven't slept well for two or three nights!"

Then she waved her hand and said, "Alright, I'll head back now. Like I said, focus on making this film well. Don't worry about funding. I really like this script, and I want more people to see it, so..."

You absolutely must not let me down!

Song Hao nodded: "Don't worry, Sister Qian."

"By the way, if this show needs a theme song, I know some songwriters. Do you want me to contact them?"

"No need, Sister Qian, I can arrange it myself."

"Okay, then keep up the good work."

After Zhou Qian left, Song Hao was the only one left in the editing room.

As he watched the monitor, his anticipation grew.

This film might actually win an award at a film festival!
Although it has indeed made a lot of money at the box office with "All for One".

To outsiders, he is already a top-tier director.

But in the entertainment industry, those directors and actors still don't recognize their own abilities.

Only by making a good film of "The Flowers of War" can we achieve this!
By then, I'll be able to shed my status as a third-rate director.

Thinking of this, Song Hao sat down.

He had actually thought of the theme song that Zhou Qian had mentioned before.

Even courtesans know the sorrow of a fallen nation; their final song echoes through the Qinhuai River.

He thought back carefully and realized that there was a song that fit the situation perfectly.

After humming the song dozens of times, relying on his memory, Song Hao finally managed to write down the lyrics.

At the top of the paper, the song title, consisting of two characters, was clearly written.

The Red-Haired Girl!
