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

Chapter 301 Is there such a good thing?

Like the Earth next door, Hong Kong's entertainment industry was indeed glorious. At its peak, it almost became a pioneer symbol of Asian pop culture and created a large number of so-called "kings and queens".

These stars and their works have influenced almost two generations of people, and their influence is undoubtedly huge.

However, with the continuous changes in the world over the years, Hong Kong's entertainment industry has basically reached the point where Wang Xiaoer is celebrating the New Year, and the market has shrunk to the point where it is no longer worth watching.

If they were really hungry, they wouldn't have forced so many practitioners to go north to make money...

If it was just for economic benefits, anyone with a normal mind would not go to Hong Kong at this time. This is even more outrageous than joining the National Army in 49.

But in fact, a large part of the value of the Hong Kong market lies not in economic benefits, but in its radiation influence.

Relying on its past great glory, Hong Kong Entertainment has an unparalleled influence in half of Asia.

In Southeast Asia, a region with huge population potential, those former superstars are even more influential and highly respected!

On the other hand, because of Hong Kong’s special status, it has to some extent become a bridge for cultural exchanges between the East and the West.

If mainland stars and works want to go overseas and ride the waves, Hong Kong is a very good springboard, and this is also the little value left in Hong Kong entertainment.

And in Zhou Hao's future plans, it is only a matter of time before he takes his works overseas.

The entire China has been "hiding its strength and biding its time" for so many years, but it can no longer hide its strength. Cultural exports will definitely become an important trend in the future.

For artists, this is definitely the best opportunity to build a golden image for themselves.

Uncle Long next door has constant scandals in his private life, but why is he still standing firm and can frequently appear in central media?

It's very simple, because he has promoted the value of united front through his works. As long as he doesn't cross the red line, it doesn't matter how he behaves in private.

If you want to improve your social status qualitatively, this path is definitely the most direct and upright one.

Now that Mr. Xie has come to him on his own initiative, it can be considered a blessing in disguise that has paved a way for him.

After thinking for a long time, Zhou Hao finally replied: "Mr. Xie, could you please explain it more clearly? It's too general and I'm afraid I'll misunderstand it."

Upon hearing this, Xie Tianfei's eyes immediately lit up.

There is a play!

He Xiurong, who was standing by, was also very excited and immediately explained, "Mr. Zhou, although martial arts works are a bit outdated in the mainland market, this type of work still has great potential in the Hong Kong and Southeast Asian markets."

"As long as the work is good enough, it can still sell well. In the past few years, Southeast Asia has been inviting my father-in-law to write, but he can't write anymore due to health reasons..."

Zhou Hao understood that this was because of those martial arts works.

Zhang Hong on the side also had a look of joy on her face, her eyes rolling around.

Giving Zhou Hao a look to shut up temporarily, Zhang Hong took over the conversation and said, "Mr. Xie, I wonder which book of his you are interested in?"

"I want both The Legend of the Condor Heroes and The Smiling, Proud Wanderer." Xie Tianfei said without hesitation, "I also want the remaining two books in the Legend of the Condor Heroes trilogy."

Zhang Hong narrowed her eyes and smiled. I’ve been waiting for you to say this!
"Mr. Xie, Zhou Hao reminded me a few days ago not to sell the copyright of martial arts works casually, for fear that some unreliable teams would film it and make it unrecognizable. If we leave it to you, Mr. Xie, then we will definitely be 100% assured."

Xie Tianfei's face lit up, and he looked at Zhou Hao with a smile, "So, you agree?"

Zhang Hong exchanged glances with Zhou Hao quietly, then nodded and said, "We are of course looking forward to working with Mr. Xie, but the problem now is that we don't have all the copyrights of The Legend of the Condor Heroes in our hands, so we don't have the final say."

Xie Tianfei had obviously done his homework, and he waved his hand and said, "I will go there and talk to them in person. As long as you nod, I will take care of the rest."

"After I get the copyright back, I won't play those bully terms with you. I just want to promise one thing - the film and television copyright of these two books must give me a five-year exclusive period."

"Five years?" Zhou Hao frowned in embarrassment, but he was actually very happy in his heart.

Is there such a good thing?

It's only been five years, and he didn't have the ability to shoot these martial arts films for the time being!

Being able to use this five-year exclusive period to exchange for full copyright is like getting it for free!

After a few attempts back and forth, the deal was quickly finalized.

As for the details of the terms of cooperation, that is Zhang Hong and Yan Lei's business, and Zhou Hao doesn't need to worry about it at all.

Then, the old man proposed a second deal, "Since your current model of serializing novels is to cast a wide net, can you also consider the Hong Kong and Southeast Asian markets?" Huh?
Zhou Hao was shocked when he heard this. "What do you mean?"

"The newspapers and periodicals under my name have started to digitize online in recent years. The main content of the novel section is to publish various martial arts novels, but the market has been bad in recent years, so I have been trying to transform, but there have been no famous writers, and I can't attract many readers."

"Since you are a free man now, why not cast a wider net and come to my place as a guest? There is no restriction on the content of your creation and you can name any price you want." Xie Tianfei said generously.

As expected of a martial arts novelist, he speaks in a cheerful and chivalrous manner.

There is no need to think about this kind of business at all. One more channel means one more income, which is great.

What’s even more rare is that Mr. Xie has been operating channels in Southeast Asia for many years, which makes him extremely powerful.

Just hand over your work to him, and he will do all the proofreading and translation for you, making it easy to adapt to the Southeast Asian market...

Comfortable!

For Zhou Hao, this is truly the best gift he has ever received for the opening of his studio!

After discussing two serious transactions, the content of the conversation gradually became fragmented.

It was three full hours later that the old man got up and left.

Before leaving, the old man seriously invited Zhou Hao to visit Hong Kong if he had the chance.

Zhou Hao was flattered and nodded repeatedly.

Watching the car go away, Zhang Hong couldn't help but clenched his fist and waved it vigorously, "Good luck to the business! With him here, Miaobi will most likely give up the copyright!"

"But I also owe him a big favor." Zhou Hao sighed softly, "There is no free lunch in the world. He spent so much money to win me over... sooner or later he will have to pay it back."

"That's a matter for the future, why worry about it now?"

Back in the office hall, Zhang Hong waved her hand and said, "The publicity team, hurry up and spread the news that Mr. Xie is visiting our studio. The wider the better!"

"After we're done, let's have a good meal tonight. This time we'll have a seafood feast at Donglailou!"

Someone bravely asked, "Sister Hong, who's paying?"

"Nonsense." Zhang Hong scolded with a smile: "Our teacher Zhou is such a big boss, how could he be short of your meal money?"

As soon as the words fell, the whole hall cheered.

Workers love publicly funded team building activities the most!
Zhou Hao, who was fleeced, was not angry. It was just a meal and didn't cost much money. It was worth it if it could boost the loyalty and favorability of the employees.

Just one hour later, the news that Xie Tianfei appeared in Jinghong Studio had spread throughout the entire Internet.

[Fuck, the God of Wind has set up his own company?! ]

[Nima, you are doing something big behind our backs! ]

[Tsk, you guys are too out of touch with the news, I knew it a long time ago. ]

[The meeting of two generations of martial arts icons, this photo is so meaningful. ]

[Isn't Mr. Xie in poor health? Why did he come here specially? ]

[I have a feeling they are going to make big news! ]

[Am I the only one who noticed Zhang Hong in the background? That’s Xu Lingyue’s manager! ]

[How fresh! A couple just share a manager. What's the big deal?]

[It's bad, Nana is totally out of luck! ]

[Nerves are nothing but figments of the imagination! ]

However, when the CP fever on the Internet began to subside, Lin Xina appeared in Zhou Hao's office.

"Uncle, I heard you guys have a team-building dinner tonight? Can you take me with you?"
