Poverty alleviation variety show goes to the countryside, my talent can no longer be hidden

Chapter 298 Declining the Olive Branch

"Mr. Zhou, there are rumors that your relationship with Xu Lingyue has broken down. Is that true?"

What kind of stupid question is this?
Zhou Hao felt extremely disgusted, but he tried his best to remain calm on his face: "That's not the case. She and I are still good friends."

friend?

A group of reporters and self-media people showed weird smiles and said, "I don't believe you at all!"
Before the second gossip question came up, Zhou Hao immediately took the initiative to put the brakes on: "Today is the celebration party for "Day and Night Chase". Everyone should stop staring at my private life. Please ask questions related to the work."

A group of reporters looked at each other in bewilderment. This guy was really alert.

"Mr. Zhou, I'm a reporter from Hualian Entertainment. I'd like to ask you, you've said publicly before that you don't particularly like working on stage, but why did you accept the role of the male lead in Beginning this time?"

Zhou Hao said without thinking: "Sorry, this is the Qinggong meeting of "Day and Night Chase", it is not convenient to discuss this."

After trying three or four times, seeing that Zhou Hao was indeed unwilling to discuss other issues, everyone had no choice but to get the issue back on track.

"Teacher Zhou, first of all, congratulations on the great success of your film "Day and Night Chase". What do you think is the secret of its success? Can you share it with us?"

Zhou Hao thought for a moment and replied: "Actually, the answer is just two words - sincerity."

"Sincerity?"

"Yes, it's sincerity." Zhou Hao said seriously, "Everything is guided by the quality of the work. The screenwriter writes seriously, the director shoots seriously, the actors perform attentively, and everyone in the crew works together and strives for the same goal. The work produced in this way may not be a classic, but it will definitely not be ugly."

A self-media person nearby laughed and said, "Teacher Zhou, you seem to have something else to say?"

Zhou Hao smiled and said, "If a crew's goal from the beginning is to sell the film at a good price and make some money, then the filming of the drama will not be good."

“If you want to achieve the middle, you must seek the best; if you want to achieve the best, you must seek the best. Without high standards, it is impossible to produce good works.”

"To put it a little exaggeratedly, the time it took to shoot the long shot at the beginning of the first episode might be enough for other web series crews to shoot ten episodes."

"Some people say that Day and Night is likely to be selected for this year's Silver Eagle Film and Television Exhibition to compete for a series of awards. Do you think the chances are high?"

"I am only responsible for writing scripts and filming. The rest is not my responsibility and my opinion has no final say. The quality of a work should not be determined by the creators themselves. The real ratings and audience reputation will tell the whole story."

"Teacher Zhou……"

After answering more than a dozen questions in a row, a staff member came to help. Zhou Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

It's finally quiet.

"What's wrong? Are you annoyed?" A clear and pleasant voice suddenly came from behind.

Looking back, Zhou Hao's eyes lit up.

After the New Year, Lin Xina's face became less childish and more dazzlingly bright.

She is still wearing her signature leather jacket, jeans and a black and white checkered scarf, looking youthful, beautiful and full of vitality.

"After becoming famous, this kind of thing becomes a daily occurrence. You have to get used to it first." Lin Xina winked playfully, "You're just playing a supporting role. If 'The Beginning' becomes a hit, you probably won't even be able to go out."

Zhou Hao sighed softly, "I heard that you have been practicing behind closed doors recently?"

"That's right." Lin Xina curled her lips and said, "You invited an ancient god here without saying a word. If I don't practice hard at the last minute, I'll be executed in the same frame."

The two chatted and laughed for a while, not noticing that there were several cameras pointed at them in the corner...

When they were chatting happily, Lin Jianyue in the distance suddenly waved to him and pointed to the lounge behind. Zhou Hao understood and nodded, "Sorry, your uncle called me, I think he has something to do, let's talk later."

Lin Xina nodded and said, "Don't run away later, I still have something to ask you!"

When I arrived at the lounge and pushed the door open, I saw a few old friends.

In addition to Peter Lam and Liu Wei, there was also the female boss of Penguin Variety Department, Jiang Yan, and... a very unfamiliar man in a suit, with a big belly and a big smile.

"Sister Jiang, Happy New Year." Zhou Hao greeted with a smile.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's only been a month since we last met, and you're already so popular." Jiang Yan joked, "I'm afraid we won't be able to invite you to our show again in the future."

"That's impossible." Zhou Hao waved his hand and said, "As long as it's your show, Sister Jiang, I'll definitely be happy to do it."

"So many people are listening, so I'm taking it seriously." Jiang Yan smiled and pulled Zhou Hao over, taking the initiative to introduce him: "Let me introduce you, this is the head of our Penguin Self-produced Drama Department, you can just call him President Su."

"Mr. Su." Zhou Hao bent down slightly and extended his hand with a very humble attitude.

He knew very well the purpose of these people's visit. It was inevitable to offend people, so he could only try his best to minimize the differences.

President Su looked at him with a smile, shook his hand and said, "Sit down. You are not our employee. There is no need to be so reserved. Just chat with us as friends."

Zhou Hao sat down with a smile and quietly cast a look for help to Lin Jianyue.

Please help me out later, we are your allies!
As a result, Peter Lam pretended not to see anything and continued chatting and laughing with Jiang Yan, which made Zhou Hao very angry.

This guy is really decisive when it comes to selling out his teammates.

Someone has already swung the hoe right in front of you, and you don't even show any reaction?

As expected, after some pleasantries, Mr. Su got straight to the point, "Teacher Zhou, I heard that you are planning to start your own studio?"

"Yes, President Su is really well-informed." Zhou Hao nodded with a smile.

"Tsk, you already have your own studio at such a young age... That's amazing." Mr. Su said with a smile: "Let me ask you something, taking advantage of my seniority: Do you know what is the most important thing when starting a business?"

"Please enlighten me, Mr. Su."

"It's just about finding the right wind." Mr. Su said with a smile, "As long as you find the right wind, even a pig can fly, let alone a talented person like you?"

"Right now, our Penguin Video's self-produced drama department is looking for a suitable partner. The salary and conditions are the best in the industry. Would you like to consider it, Mr. Zhou?"

"With your talent, plus the support of our Penguin Pictures resources, you will definitely dominate the entire online drama circle in the future and become the industry leader!"

It finally came...

Zhou Hao smiled awkwardly. He had already made up his mind about this matter, so he didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Su, I have already reached a cooperation agreement with Shanhai. It's not appropriate to be fickle...

"And your company originally had a strategic collaboration with Shanhai. If we round it off, we were actually partners, right?"

Although the words were spoken politely, Mr. Su's expression visibly fell.

Angry.
