The anti-fraud bureau needs a promotional video, and you're going to make a "Desperate Gam

Chapter 96 A Medical Film Theme – Aren't We Afraid to Make It? (Seeking First Subscriptions! Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Because Director Zhang's side was in a hurry.

So Song Hao made a phone call to Zhou Qian while heading towards the Anti-Fraud Bureau.

"Director Song, I finally got your call," Zhou Qian teased.

"Sister Qian, please stop teasing me," Song Hao said with a smile.

Zhou Qian also asked, "Okay, I'm not kidding anymore. Your 'Operation Mekong' was really well made. I regret not contacting you sooner. Otherwise, I would have invested in the movie directly, and it wouldn't have needed to be used as a promotional video."

Song Hao chuckled, "Actually, it doesn't matter whether it's a promotional video or not, since our film has already been released, so it's the same."

"So you're planning to personally direct your next project, right? How about we co-produce a movie? I'll invest, you direct, and you get a share of the box office revenue." Zhou Qian revealed her intentions.

Song Hao didn't know if Director Zhang had contacted him about making a movie, and he didn't dare to agree easily.

So he said, "Let me think about what I want to film, and then I'll get back to you."

“Okay.” Zhou Qian reminded him, “But you can’t find other investors, I’m being very sincere.”

"Don't worry, if I'm making a commercial film, I'll definitely hire you," Song Hao said with a smile.

that's it.

The two hung up the phone.

Song Hao also quickly arrived at the anti-fraud bureau.

The anti-fraud bureau now seems like his second home.

Upon seeing Song Hao, Zhou Shibao immediately stepped forward to congratulate him: "Good lad, the box office is doing well! How much is it now?"

"It seems to have already surpassed the box office of 'The Flowers of War,' which reached 14 billion yuan," Song Hao replied.

"Amazing! It's only been two weeks since it was released, it looks like it's definitely going to break 2 billion!" Zhou Shibao exclaimed excitedly.

Song Hao then asked, "By the way, where is Director Zhang?"

“Yes, Director Zhang is already waiting for you in his office.” Zhou Shibao immediately led Song Hao into the office.

"Dong dong!"

Upon hearing this, Director Zhang, who was sitting in his office, immediately laughed and said, "It must be that kid who's here."

With that, he replied, "Come in!"

Song Hao walked in.

He looked at the two people in the inner room and said respectfully, "Good morning, Director."

Director Zhang immediately introduced, "This is Director Jiang of the Drug Administration Bureau."

"Hello, Director Jiang, I am Song Hao." Song Hao looked at the female director in front of him, who appeared to be around forty years old and had a very elegant demeanor.

Director Jiang was also surprised: "So young? Our country is full of talented people!"

As she spoke, she extended her hand and said, "Hello, Comrade Xiao Song."

"Come, let's sit down and talk," Director Zhang said, gesturing for Zhou Shibao to go to the tea room and brew a pot of tea.

After sitting down.

Director Jiang first expressed her appreciation for Song Hao: "Comrade Song, I've watched the three movies you've directed, and they're all very good."

"Thank you for your encouragement, Director Jiang. I will continue to work hard," Song Hao said humbly.

Hearing his humble attitude, Director Jiang glanced at Director Zhang and then said to Song Hao, "It's like this, our Drug Administration would also like to cooperate with you to make a movie about medicine. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Song Hao...

really.

In fact, medical and health care has always been a vital issue for people's livelihood.

It concerns the happiness of every family, economic development, social harmony, and even more so, the future of the country and the nation.

However, medicine and health are also extremely sensitive topics.

If you're not careful, you'll step on the line.

So let alone directors making movies of this kind, even promotional videos are reviewed by the medical department again and again, for fear of making mistakes.

Director Jiang looked at Song Hao and hesitated for a moment. She said, "In recent years, our country's economy has been getting better and better, and we are more willing to face some of the problems and shortcomings of the past. I also know that medicine has always been a matter of people's livelihood. In all these years, there has never been a social medicine-themed movie, which is quite regrettable."

"The reason I came to Director Zhang's place this time is because I heard there's a director who dares to shoot on such topics and with positive energy. I was thinking of asking Comrade Xiao Song for his thoughts."

After Director Jiang finished speaking, Director Zhang also chimed in, "This time, Director Jiang doesn't want a promotional video, so you don't need to worry or be constrained. Just film whatever you want, as long as it's related to medicine."

"Director Jiang, do you have any other requests?" Song Hao asked in return.

Director Jiang replied, "Of course there are requirements, and the final outcome must be positive, since the government still needs to maintain a positive image in the minds of the people."

“Of course, I also believe that our officials are all for the people,” Song Hao explained.

"So," Director Jiang tentatively asked, "Comrade Xiao Song, do you have any ideas?"

After thinking for a while, Song Hao had a bold idea.

But I'm worried that the subject matter isn't up to par.

So he tried asking, "What if I adapted a real-life example?"

"What real-life example is it?" Director Jiang was pleased to hear this, thinking that Song Hao might actually have some ideas.

"It's about someone from twenty years ago, his name is Lu Yong."

Upon hearing this, the expectation on Director Jiang's face froze instantly.

Director Zhang of the Anti-Fraud Bureau didn't know who Lu Yong was, but after seeing Director Jiang's expression, he knew something was wrong.

Director Jiang pondered for a moment, then looked at Song Hao and asked, "How do you know about Lu Yong's case? Have you looked into it before?"

“Yes, Director Jiang, to be honest, I do have the idea of ​​filming this case,” Song Hao replied.

After hearing this, Director Jiang was unable to give him a definite answer immediately.

She was the director of the Drug Administration. This movie was made.

Wouldn't that put her and the Drug Administration in a difficult position?

She concluded by saying, "If... I mean, if the Drug Administration can't cooperate with you, will you still make this movie?"

"I don't know if the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television will approve it," Song Hao replied. "But I think if it can be made into a movie, it should be the first domestic film with such a sharp and profound subject matter."

Hearing this, Director Jiang was tempted again.

She finally stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go back and talk to my superiors. If it's possible, we can collaborate on the film. If the Drug Administration can't get involved, but you still want to make this kind of film, I'll ask the leaders of the State Administration of Radio and Television for their opinion."

"Alright, then I'll leave it to Director Jiang." Song Hao also stood up and said respectfully.

After Director Jiang left, Director Zhang asked curiously, "Who is this Lu Yong you mentioned?"

Song Hao then told Director Zhang about Lu Yong's situation in general.

Director Zhang frowned after hearing this.

When Song Hao wanted to film the Mekong River case, even Director Long of the Anti-Drug Bureau had to ask for permission from his superiors for a long time.

If it weren't for this case, which positively demonstrates my country's strength and highlights the importance of publicizing anti-drug efforts, it would never have passed the review.

But now.

The Lu Yong case is very sensitive.

It caused quite a stir back then.

The drug regulatory authority may not agree to the filming.

If the Drug Administration can't approve it, then the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television probably can't either.

But Director Zhang still said, "I will talk to Director Jiang about this. You don't need to worry too much. If the Drug Administration can't approve the cooperation, I will talk to the leaders of the Broadcasting Bureau and see what they think."

"Okay, thank you, Director Zhang," Song Hao said gratefully.

Step out of the anti-fraud center.

Song Hao couldn't help but feel grateful that he had found a good backer.

Director Zhang from the Anti-Fraud Bureau always helps with anything.

Even if they couldn't film Lu Yong's case in the end, Song Hao felt it wouldn't matter.

The next two days.

Zhou Qian would occasionally inquire about the plans to shoot commercial films.

Song Hao also used tactful excuses to delay for a few days, saying that "Operation Mekong" was still showing in theaters and they should see how things went first.

Meanwhile, "Operation Mekong" has already reached 16 billion yuan at the box office in less than 20 days.

This has caused quite a stir among netizens.

"Holy crap! Director Song wasn't bragging! He said the box office would be over 15 billion, and he meant it!"

"You think Director Song is playing games with you? He's playing the real deal!"

"That's awesome! Let's go!"

"I remember Director Song said he would donate his share of the box office revenue."

"should be."

"So, with all that box office revenue, he donated it all?"

Just as everyone was discussing it.

Song Hao suddenly posted on Weibo.

This is a reply to a comment from a netizen.

[I said I'd donate everything, and I definitely will! Besides, before the release, didn't I say it would gross over 15 billion? Do you think I don't know how the box office will turn out?]

This simple and unpretentious answer immediately won the favor of countless netizens.

"Keep your promise! From now on, as long as it's not a really bad movie, I'll support whatever you make!"

"Yes! I love this breath of fresh air in the entertainment industry!"

"I can't wait for Director Song's next movie!"

Director Long also called Song Hao.

"Little Song," Director Long said cheerfully, "the movie's box office is getting higher and higher!"

"Yes, Director Long, I didn't disappoint you, did I?" Song Hao asked.

Director Long laughed: "Of course you weren't disappointed! Not only were you not disappointed, you were quite surprised! You've really got some skills, kid!"

He then asked, "By the way, we also plan to use the box office revenue wisely, such as subsidies for some grassroots police officers, subsidies for some criminal investigation and drug enforcement police officers on the front line, and the aftermath of the sacrifice of police officers. All of these are included."

Song Hao replied, "Our film has also contributed to the efforts of the police officers."

"We have to thank you a lot, kid. If you ever need any equipment for filming in the future, just let me know, and I'll try my best to get it for you," Director Long replied.

"Thank you, Director Long!"

"Why are you being so polite?! Kid, film well and try to win all the major awards at home and abroad. By the way, I'm aiming for awards this year for 'Operation Mekong.' Don't blame me for embarrassing you. Make sure you maintain a positive image. If there are any similar false accusations like before, feel free to tell me."

"Understood! Director Long."

And so, through a film collaboration, Song Hao seemed to have found another powerful backer.

The box office for "Operation Mekong" is still rising.

Although the current increase is not significant, there is still a small surge every weekend.

At this rate, exceeding 20 billion is only a matter of time.

Suddenly, Song Hao remembered something.

That means the task assigned by the system seems to have been completed!
