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

Chapter 302: The situation is tense and the battle for the right to speak is on the verge of collapse!

Lin Xina's joining made the atmosphere of this team-building activity inexplicably weird.

Many people began to secretly bite their ears - could the rumor on the Internet be true?
This doesn't mean you don't want to avoid suspicion at all?
Since the little girl didn't care, Zhou Hao naturally wouldn't be shy about it. The more he avoided it, the more confusing it would be.

When they were halfway through the meal, Lin Xina came over and whispered, "Uncle, the director of 'The Beginning' has been decided. When are you free? Let's go meet him and take some makeup photos."

Zhou Hao nodded, "Who did the director choose?"

"Xu Qiuyue, a female director... have you heard of her?"

"No." Zhou Hao asked blankly, "How's your level?"

"If you don't have the skills, how can you find her?" Lin Xina pouted and said, "But she is... I can't really explain it. Anyway, you will know when you meet her."

After dinner, Zhou Hao officially packed his bags and moved into Xu Lingyue’s mansion. Not only was the house large and beautifully decorated, but the spacious terrace at the back alone made him love it.

Sitting on this terrace in the evening, typing and working in the night breeze, and turning around to see the bustling and dazzling night view of Shanghai when you are tired, is definitely a pleasure!

This working environment is much more comfortable than staying in a birdcage!

But when he started a new day of typing, the scandal between him and Lin Xina suddenly resurfaced.

The reason is very simple. The photo of Lin Xina whispering in Zhou Hao's ear during team building was secretly taken and leaked.

After being exaggerated by various self-media marketing accounts, the scandal that had originally died down began to heat up again.

CP fans were partying, passers-by were busy eating melons, and some were cursing.

[Zhou Hao, please behave like a human being. She is still a child! ]

[Xu Lingyue just left, and you can't stand the loneliness? ]

[There is a bottom line for being fickle! 】

[It's only been a short time, and your true colors are already showing? ]

[Stop hyping up gossip all day long, write more books when you have time! ]

……

It was not until the next morning that Zhou Hao realized something was wrong.

I opened Weibo and saw a bunch of gossip posts on the front page...

Why did it start again?

What’s even more strange is that in some of the most popular posts, there are actually traces of “water army”?

The highly identical rhetoric and uniform control techniques do not seem normal at first glance.

What's going on?
Subconsciously, he called Zhang Hong to find out what was going on.

"It wasn't me. We don't have the spare money to speculate in these things." Zhang Hong immediately denied it.

"It's not you?" Zhou Hao frowned suspiciously. "Nana isn't even an adult yet. Logically, her team shouldn't be involved in gossip marketing... Then who could it be?"

Two hours later, when he took a car to Shanhai Film and Television, the answer became clear.

"It was Director Xu who did it." Lin Xina explained in a low voice: "I told you yesterday that Director Xu's work style is a bit... well, it's hard to say."

This time Zhou Hao understood that the female director should be a more realistic person. As long as she can gain popularity and earn traffic, she will use all means.

Creating scandals is a very low-level but effective hype technique, and it is probably a routine operation for her.

This is in stark contrast to the old-fashioned and serious Liu Wei.

After entering Shanhai Film and Television, he first went upstairs to meet and greet Peter Lam, and then followed him to the studio.

As soon as I entered, I saw a woman in her fifties sitting in the director's chair. She was a little thin and looked very serious in a black casual outfit.

Sure enough, eyes can be deceiving.

This first impression of temperament is completely different from her way of doing things. Looking back at Zhou Hao and Lin Xina, Xu Qiuyue stood up with a smile, "Oh, our male lead is here? Welcome, welcome."

As he spoke, he stepped forward and stretched out his hand, his thin face almost wrinkled with smile.

Don't hit someone who smiles at you, so Zhou Hao just said a few polite words in a lukewarm attitude.

She didn't have a good impression of this unscrupulous director.

After some greetings, he was taken into the dressing room and began to receive makeup according to the character settings.

Xiao Heyun’s character is set as a programmer, a game architect... to put it bluntly, a code farmer.

In the original TV series on Earth, this character is fair and clean, covered in powdered makeup, which in fact has nothing to do with the traditional image of a "coder".

But there's nothing we can do about it, since it's just an idol drama.

The head can be cut and blood can flow, but the makeup cannot be ugly.

Obviously, Director Xu had the same idea.

After finishing her hair, the makeup artist came up and was about to put powder on Zhou Hao, which scared him so much that he quickly raised his hand to stop her.

"Is this not necessary? Why should I, a grown man, put on powder?"

The makeup artist looked at him in bewilderment, her eyes looking as if she was caring for a mentally retarded child.

Brother, do you want to listen to what you are saying?
It's 2017 now. Are there still people who appear on camera without makeup?
What's wrong with men? Isn't it normal for men to wear makeup?

However, no matter how the makeup artist persuaded him, Zhou Hao always insisted on his own opinion.

You can touch my hair, but if you want me to put on makeup and lipstick... absolutely not!
The makeup artist had no choice but to invite the director over.

After hearing the whole story, Xu Qiuyue also frowned, "Xiao Zhou, you have to change your mindset. Now everyone is like this when filming. They can't be on camera without makeup."

Zhou Hao was not moved at all, "Director Xu, I don't like putting things on my face."

"Besides, this drama is not an idol romance drama that sells looks. The looks of the male and female leads are just the icing on the cake. It's enough to be good enough. It's a bit putting the cart before the horse to focus too much on the image design of the male and female leads."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qiuyue's face darkened.

The staff members who were watching the fun nearby didn't even dare to breathe.

Everyone has seen clearly that this is not a question of whether to wear makeup or not, but a fight for the right to speak!

Who has the final say in the entire crew?

Is it the screenwriter and starring actor Zhou Hao, or the director Xu Qiuyue?

It hasn't even been turned on yet, and it's already been torn apart...

A clever employee slipped out quietly and quickly reported it to Peter Lam.

Only Mr. Lin can keep calm in this kind of situation!

A few minutes later, when Peter Lam and Lin Xina arrived, the atmosphere was already a little tense.

“You guys go out first.” Peter Lam waved his hand and dismissed the employees who were standing by to watch the show.

Looking at the two people with livid faces, Peter Lam sighed helplessly, "What's going on with you two? How come it turned out like this on your first meeting? We will still cooperate in the future, so please talk it out nicely."

"I can't shoot this play anymore." Xu Qiuyue was ready to give up. "As a director, I can't even direct an actor. How can I shoot this play? You should find someone else!"

"Old Xu, why are you so anxious?" Peter Lam quickly grabbed her and said, "Let's talk it over. Let's sit down and talk."

While saying this, he winked at Zhou Hao, asking him to give in.

Zhou Hao pretended not to see anything and did not move, which made Peter Lam very angry.

What a sin! How can we continue to shoot this drama?
