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

Chapter 312 Good Wife

Zhou Hao had never thought about becoming a director so soon. According to his original plan, he was going to learn step by step and accumulate experience, and then transition to being a director, but...

"First Experience as a Director", Mission Objective: Direct a TV series or movie and have it released successfully.

Mission rewards: Ability Card (Large) x1, Ability Card (Medium) x1, unlocked entry card "Absolute Sense of Color", and randomly drawn complete scripts x3.

This reward is so generous that I simply cannot refuse it!

Moreover, from a practical perspective, the difficulty of "The Beginning" is more concentrated on the script logic and editing, and the requirements during filming are actually not very high.

Moreover, this drama has a small scale, few scenes, and the requirements for camera language are not that strict. In addition, the number of episodes is relatively small, which is actually a very good practice material.

The opportunity has come to this point by chance, so Zhou Hao naturally would not miss it.

A real man should not be a coward!

However, Peter Lam was a little bit unable to accept it. After thinking it over several times, he frowned and said, "But you... have no experience in this area at all."

"Just give me a more reliable photographer." Zhou Hao said directly: "The script I delivered already includes a complete storyboard. I have a complete image in my head. I just need a tool to make it come true."

Lin Jianyue turned his head and looked at Guo Chen with a questioning look on his face.

Guo Chen nodded in agreement with Zhou Hao's statement. The script was not only complete, but even so complete that it exceeded the standard.

Almost every scene has storyboard notes. When he got the script, he sighed: With the completion of this script, as long as there are no deliberate deletions or changes, even a rookie director in school can easily shoot it...

After thinking for a while, Peter Lam sighed and said, "I can't make the final decision on this matter alone. We need to hold a meeting. I'll give you a reply this afternoon."

Zhou Hao nodded and said nothing more.

He was very sure that this would succeed, because Shanhai Film and Television now had no choice.

Good directors are unwilling to take over, and Shanhai looks down on those rookie directors. In addition, the idea of ​​"keeping wealth within the family" is at work... Under multiple screening conditions, he is almost the perfect choice.

Sure enough, he received a call from Peter Lam at three o'clock in the afternoon.

Become!

However, Shanhai was still a little worried, so they quietly added a safety lock - they called Liu Wei, who was on vacation, over and named him as the producer.

Zhou Hao is happy to see this decision.

Compared with the technical issues in shooting, he is more worried about the overall management of the crew, which is his biggest shortcoming due to his lack of experience.

Now that we have Liu Wei as the nominal producer, things will be much easier!
At eight o'clock in the evening, the official account of "The Beginning" announced the news on Weibo - Zhou Hao replaced him as the director and continued to shoot the remaining parts!
When the news came out, everyone was shocked.

"What's going on? When will Zhou Hao be directing the show?"

"Not really. There are so many directors in the industry. Who can't we invite?"

"Is he going to direct and act this out himself? Is he crazy?"

"You haven't even figured out how to act yet, and you're already acting as a director. Isn't that too hasty?"

"Haha, you're just inflated. Do you really think you can do anything?"

"It's over. I'm afraid this play is going to flop."

"No wonder Director Xu left the crew. Who can stand such a clueless screenwriter?"

...Xu Qiuyue, who had just been kicked out of the crew, seized the opportunity to make his presence felt and directly posted two words on Weibo: Hehe.

The words are concise and the sarcastic tone almost overflows the screen.

On the other hand, "The Mist" and "No Man's Land" were simply overjoyed.

Just when I was worrying about how to bring down Shanhai Film and Television, I didn't expect that Shanhai would start giving away their lives.

At such a critical moment, finding a layman to take over as director...isn't this funny?
This wave is stable, and "Beginning" can basically be kicked out of the competition.

The two companies have almost reached a unified idea - in the competition for the top spot in online dramas in the first half of the year, their only rivals are each other!

Fans of these two dramas have even started opening champagne in advance.

Winning first does not count as winning. The one who laughs last is the big winner. Shanhai’s move is simply stupid!
In the book review section of "Swordsman", there are also voices of wailing and complaining.

They were not pessimistic about Zhou Hao's future as a director, they were simply worried that the novel would be discontinued because of this.

Being a director is extremely tiring. Haven’t you seen that all those directors are bald at a young age?
If he really becomes a director, learning, directing and acting at the same time...how would he have time to write a book?
"The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" is being written at a very exciting stage, what if it is discontinued because of this?

Some impatient readers even clamored to quit the novel. Instead of waiting for the novel to be discontinued, it is better to quit first!
It was not until Zhou Hao personally posted in the book review section promising that he would not stop updating that the noise gradually died down.

But faced with the almost one-sided negative public opinion, Zhou Hao did feel a lot of pressure.

From a practical point of view, he can afford to lose because he has enough cards in his hand, but psychologically he still hopes to succeed. His strong rebellious mentality makes him extremely eager to slap these trolls in the face!
Just when he was so anxious that he couldn't sleep or eat, Xu Lingyue who was far away in Australia called him.

Just one sentence made Zhou Hao straighten his back.

"Just do it, don't worry, we can afford to lose."

At this moment, Zhou Hao truly understood why the ancients always emphasized "marrying a virtuous wife". A considerate and virtuous wife can indeed make a man worry less.

The next morning, he came to the set in high spirits.

Everyone in the crew already knew about the change of director, and when they saw Zhou Hao, they all politely called him "Director Zhou".

Even Guo Chen jokingly called out to him when he saw him: "Director Zhou, you're here quite early!"

Zhou Hao rolled his eyes at him, causing laughter from everyone around him.

Around nine o'clock, the dusty Liu Wei also arrived at the crew, and with him came the photographer Zhao Gang.

The previous team of photographers of the crew were all brought by director Xu Qiuyue. Now that Xu Qiuyue is gone, it is naturally impossible for the photographers to stay.

As soon as he saw Zhou Hao, Liu Wei complained in a bad mood: "You are really good, it's a rare vacation, but you ruined it all."

"Stop pretending, Old Liu." Guo Chen at the side interrupted, "Who knows how much overtime pay Shanhai has given you, just be happy!"

"Get lost!" Liu Wei kicked Guo Chen away and looked straight at Zhou Hao. "Let me make it clear first. I agreed to help you purely for your sake. When you have a good script later, don't leave me aside!"

Zhou Hao grinned, "Do you need to tell me that?"

"Okay." Liu Wei nodded, "Then let's get started."

Half an hour later, the set preparations were completed.

Snapped!
As the clapperboard sounded, the first scene of Zhou Hao's directorial career began.
