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

Chapter 308: Money-burning War
One week after the start of filming, the shooting progress of "The Beginning" has advanced to the fourth episode.

Xu Qiuyue's filming can't be considered perfunctory or bad, but it's obviously not to the level of Liu Wei's pursuit of perfection.

When Liu Wei is reviewing a play, he will usually give it a pass only if it reaches an eight-point mark, but in Xu Qiuyue's case, she will give it a pass as long as it reaches the passing line.

In addition, there are a bunch of powerful veteran actors in the crew, so the supporting roles can almost all be shot in one take. Even when encountering some complicated scenes, the number of NGs will not exceed 5 times.

The most perverted one is naturally Yang Weihong. After filming four episodes, there were almost no mistakes on her part.

All her scenes were basically done in one take, with only a few NGs. This was partly due to the director's low standards, but her superb acting skills were also truly astonishing.

Even Guo Chen, who had just shined in "Day and Night", was overshadowed.

After watching for a few days, Zhou Hao was completely impressed. This elder sister's acting skills have really reached the level of returning to nature.

In just a few days, she was able to become one with the role, and watching all her scenes, there was almost no trace of "acting". That kind of relaxed and free feeling is a state that countless actors can only dream of in their entire lives.

In the few scenes where they acted together, Zhou Hao and Lin Xina were tortured to the point of being completely exhausted...

When the two of them were acting opposite each other, there wasn't much sense of incongruity between them, Crouching Dragon and Phoenix. But once they were in the same frame with Yang Weihong... it felt like they were on a different level, a huge gap that was visible to the naked eye.

Lin Xina was so hit that she could hardly lift her head, and she felt like an eggplant hit by frost.

Zhou Hao was also a little depressed. Being overshadowed was something he had expected, but the contrast was too tragic, making him feel ashamed.

There were a few moments when he even wanted to restart the acting training course in the system and strive to reach the next level.

However, thinking back to those perverted projects in the course... forget it, it's too torturous!

If I don't cheat, I can only learn and improve myself at the same time. Fortunately, Guo Chen and Yang Weihong are not stingy people and they often help me with guidance.

After a week of training, Zhou Hao discovered that his acting score in the system panel had actually increased by four points!
These scores are all earned through my own hard work!
While the crew of "The Beginning" was busy filming, a big news suddenly broke out in the industry - the Kiwi platform teamed up with Ripple Film and Television to launch the criminal investigation suspense web drama "The Mist".

It occupied the top 3 of hot searches right from the start, and is said to be an S+ level masterpiece strongly promoted by Kiwi, with an investment of more than million!

The cast is also star-studded, with last year's Golden Dragon Award winner An Dayou invited to play the leading male role.

For the female lead, we invited Zheng Xiao, one of the four most popular actresses in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Both of them can be regarded as truly talented actors. The male lead has the Best Actor trophy in his hands, so his strength is unquestionable.

Although Zheng Xiao has not won any official award, she has always been one of the best actresses among middle-aged actresses.

This powerful pair of actors took on the lead roles, which shocked the entire online drama circle.

It looks like Kiwi is going to copy the successful path of Shanhai Film and Television, directly looking for talented actors to take the lead, and then letting popular stars play supporting roles...

This movie "The Mist" is coming with great force!
However, this wave of popularity only lasted for one day. The next day, Youying platform announced its first project of the new year - it once again joined hands with Tianyun Culture to create the criminal investigation suspense drama "No Man's Land". The previous work of this pair, "The Legend of Yunlan", claimed to reform online dramas before the start of filming, but after the release, it repeatedly stepped on thunders and ended up being banned, which once became a joke in the industry.

Now the duo is making a comeback, showing signs of avenging their previous defeat.

Perhaps in order to suppress its most direct competitor, Youying directly claimed that the budget of this film will exceed 400 million!
This number made everyone stunned.

When filming "The Legend of Yunlan" last year, the investment of 200 million yuan had already caused a sensation in the entire online drama circle, and now it has been doubled...

Is the rate of inflation a little too fast?
However, real industry insiders have already smelled the smell of gunpowder from this wave of covert fighting - the three major streaming media companies have been maintaining a delicate balance, and everyone is doing well, no one is standing out, and no one is falling behind.

But this delicate balance was completely broken by Penguin Video at the end of last year and the beginning of this year.

First, there was an ingenious live variety show "The Wind of Colorful Clouds", which directly revitalized the entire variety show section of Penguin Video. Then it was another blockbuster-level "Day and Night Chase", which directly blew up the entire drama circle.

In addition to the overwhelming popularity of the audience, the most intuitive reaction was that the share price of Penguin Video began to rise, and even the share price of its parent company Penguin also rose...

Capital is the most realistic and honest. Once Penguin Video continues to stand out, it will soon form a capital siphon effect... If all the capital goes to Penguin, what should our two companies do?
This money-burning game can no longer be played!

Follow, you must follow!
We must take back the attention and popularity that have been diverted away, and we must never let Penguin Video dominate the market!
As a result, the two companies simultaneously announced major projects for the beginning of the year, with investment costs more exaggerated than each other, with the aim of suppressing Penguin’s momentum!

But what’s a bit funny is that not only do the two companies have the same goal, they also choose the same path - they directly chose the criminal investigation theme that just became a big hit, as if they wanted to reap the benefits of the residual heat.

Seeing this news, Zhou Hao couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

This is just a desperate move... Even if "Day and Night Chase" is very popular, the audience will get tired of it.

At this time, two web dramas with similar themes are released in succession. Not to mention the problem of audience fatigue, the two dramas will also divide the audience...

I don’t know what he was thinking.

However, the current situation inadvertently woke him up - if it continued to develop in this way, Penguin Video would indeed easily become a monopoly.

This is not good news for partners and audiences, because once a monopoly is formed, what will follow is definitely "big stores bullying customers."

Capital will not do business at a loss. The current investment is all for the purpose of earning double the profit in the future!

By that time... it will be a foregone conclusion that the audience will be treated like leeks and Zhou Hao may not get any benefits.

There still needs to be competition. The previous stable triangle structure was a more ideal situation.

I hope those two companies can be a little more powerful and not let Penguin be the only one to stand out.

If these two companies are really not strong enough...

Then he's the only one left to think of a solution!
