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

Chapter 313 is finished!
At Liu Wei's suggestion, Zhou Hao did not start shooting new scenes right away, but instead started with old material.

Xu Qiuyue's shooting requirements were relatively low, and many of the scenes actually had quite a few flaws. Not only did Zhou Hao complain about this, but drama maniacs like Yang Weihong and Guo Chen could not tolerate it even more.

So I just took this opportunity to do some screening and reshooting.

Anyway, I have old materials to use as a foundation, so I don’t have to worry about not taking good pictures. I can just treat it as practice.

It took three whole days, and the crew only reshot one scene. Almost everyone from top to bottom was accompanying Zhou Hao to learn how to do it...

But during these three days, no one expressed dissatisfaction, and everyone cooperated conscientiously with the work.

In order to thank the crew for their cooperation, he paid for a good meal for everyone.

After three days, although he only learned the basics, he had a general understanding of the entire shooting process.

With this foundation, his learning speed began to gradually increase, and his absorption ability even surprised Liu Wei.

This guy... he really can learn anything!

As Zhou Hao gradually got the hang of it, the filming progress of "The Beginning" began to gradually recover and slowly got back on track...

Busy times always pass extra quickly, and two months went by in a flash.

Although the whole process was bumpy, with the concerted efforts of the entire crew, the shooting progress of "The Beginning" has successfully reached the end and is about to be wrapped up.

At this time, the other two films, "The Mist" and "No Man's Land", had already completed filming and started an overwhelming wave of publicity and promotion.

Leaked stills, hyping up couples, internal quarrels among the crew, fan fights, house buying trends, marketing accounts spreading press releases all over the world, directors making empty promises and boasting in interviews... In short, almost all available marketing methods have been used.

This overwhelming marketing has made many passers-by feel a little physically uncomfortable. What the hell is this constant bombardment? Isn’t it annoying?
Now everyone is bragging so much, it will be fun when they all fail!

It would be great if someone could come out and beat them up, that would be exciting!
What a pity, the only hopeful "beginning" was destroyed by myself...

It was not until then that everyone realized that there had been no news about "The Beginning" for two months?
This crew...isn't it going to be disbanded?

The crew did not disband, but after the change of leadership, Zhou Hao completely abandoned the marketing-first approach and started focusing on filming.

The two families outside were fighting fiercely, but he was too lazy to even look at them, letting them do whatever they wanted.

April 27th, sunny.

Zhou Hao stood behind the monitor, watching the images on the screen carefully.

Xiao Heyun and Li Shiqing held hands and walked down the long cemetery steps together. The sunlight behind them created a gorgeous silhouette for their figures.

Everyone in the crew held their breath and stared at Zhou Hao, waiting for him to speak.

After watching it three times, Zhou Hao let out a long sigh and picked up the loudspeaker in the director's seat.

"pass!"

"I declare that the filming of 'The Beginning' has been successfully completed!"

"oh--!!!"

Cheers instantly exploded in the crew and reached the sky.

Some high-fived, some hugged, and a few sentimental girls even wiped away their tears.

After nearly three months of collaborative filming, it finally wrapped up today. I’m excited, but also reluctant to leave.

"Thank you all for your hard work these past few months!"

"The wrap-up party will be at 6pm. Everyone must get drunk before leaving!"

There was another loud cheer.

Putting down the speaker, Zhou Hao heaved a sigh of relief. These three months were a long journey for him.

Although it is indeed hard work, the rewards are real.

Although I can't say that I have fully mastered the job of a director, at least I have had some experience.

It will be much easier next time you get started!
"Uncle, congratulations." Lin Xina's voice came from my ear, "This is your first directorial work, it is very memorable."

Zhou Hao looked back, nodded and smiled, "Thank you."

After more than two months of filming, the little girl's hair has grown a lot longer and she can already tie it into a bun, which is very cute.

"You got me sent away with just a simple thank you?" Lin Xina pouted, looking dissatisfied.

"Or else?"

"For such a meaningful event, shouldn't you give out more red envelopes?" Lin Xina blinked her almond-shaped eyes. "We have been accompanying you a lot in the past two months!"

Zhou Hao laughed dumbly after hearing this, "Okay, okay, I'll buy you a big one later."

"Yeah——" Lin Xina jumped up with a scissors hand gesture and smiled proudly.

"Hey, hey, hey, everyone who listens has a share." Guo Chen at the side suddenly appeared out of nowhere, "Director Zhou, you can't be too partial to one person... No, you are not partial to another."

"Get out!" Zhou Hao kicked him directly.

I went back to the hotel and took a shower. When I went downstairs, Zhang Hong was already waiting in the lobby.

"Congratulations on the completion." Zhang Hong was also very happy. "Although it was a bit unexpected, it can be regarded as a smooth first step in directing."

"It's not over yet." Zhou Hao shook his head. "We still have to work on the post-production special effects and editing."

Zhang Hong smiled and changed the subject, "I have already arranged the wrap-up banquet, do you have anything else to add?"

"Has the red envelope for finalizing the shooting been sealed?" Zhou Hao asked directly.

Zhang Hong nodded, took out a list from her bag and handed it over.

Zhou Hao took it and took a look at it. "Please add a little more. It's not easy to accompany a rookie director like me to polish the play."

"How much?"

Zhou Hao thought for a moment and said, "Let's add half of everything."

Hearing this number, Zhang Hong was shocked, "This... is a bit inappropriate."

"Why?" Zhou Hao looked puzzled. "It's not much money, right?"

"It's not about money..." Zhang Hong glanced around and lowered her voice and said, "It's easy to break the rules, you know? If you set this precedent, you have to pay according to this standard when you shoot next time, otherwise you will be gossiped about!"

"Don't expect people in this circle to be content. What's worrying is not the lack of food but the inequality of food!"

"The crew of 'The Beginning' is small, if you can give so much, will you also give so much if we shoot a big-budget drama in the future?"

"Besides, these people took the super big red envelopes and spread it around, which can easily attract hatred for you, do you understand?"

Is there such a thing?
Zhou Hao scratched his head awkwardly, "Then how much do you think is appropriate?"

"Don't worry about it. I'll handle it." Zhang Hong shook her head helplessly, and finally reminded: "Remember, this circle is a place of fame and fortune. Good people can't live long here. Don't take things for granted."

Zhou Hao nodded seriously.

It seems that there is still a lot to learn...
