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

Chapter 317 preview, stunning the audience!

The news that "Day and Night" was going overseas surprised Zhou Hao.

Although I had received relevant information before, I didn’t expect that the deal could be finalized so quickly.

"This is the benefit of leaning on a big tree." Liu Wei, who helped with the editing, said with emotion while holding a thermos cup: "Although the competition between the top three domestic companies is very close, when it comes to the ability to operate in the overseas market, Penguin is indeed the only one in China."

Zhou Hao nodded with a sigh, Penguin Empire, they are rich and can do whatever they want.

Penguin has invested and infiltrated everywhere, and its presence can be seen in almost all of the global entertainment industry. Helping its subsidiary to sell an online drama overseas is not a difficult task for Penguin.

Glancing at Liu Wei, who looked solemn, Zhou Hao couldn't help but ask, "Your work has been exported. Isn't that a good thing? Why do you look so sad?"

"You don't understand. Blessings and disasters go hand in hand." Liu Wei shook his head. "The performance of Day and Night in China was already very hated. Now that it goes overseas, I guess even more people will be jealous."

"In the future, our works will probably be put under a microscope by people with ulterior motives for analysis. If there is even the slightest problem... No, even if we do it perfectly, we will still be slandered and attacked by our peers."

"A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind... In the eyes of many practitioners, tripping up competitors is much more cost-effective than improving one's own abilities. From today on, we will become the public enemy of the online drama industry."

Zhou Hao was speechless, he knew that Liu Wei was not exaggerating.

In his previous life, he had personally witnessed the chaos in the digital industry. There was no money for research and development, but there was not only a budget for buying negative articles and doing negative public relations, but it was also a huge budget...

Normal person’s logic – I want to be number one, so I have to work hard on my own.

The logic of extreme egoism is – as long as I kill all the people in front of me, I will be the first.

For some reason, Zhou Hao felt a chill on his back.

"Don't be afraid, it's not all bad." Liu Wei patted him on the back and said with a smile: "At least it can be considered as going overseas, right? Let alone the gimmicks like cultural export, it is a real thing to help the country earn foreign exchange."

"And once there is a work that can be exported, it will have the so-called 'united front value' to some extent. If it is managed well, it can be used as a golden seal!"

Zhou Hao nodded, this was true.

Isn’t that what Uncle Long from the Global Village next door is like?

As long as the big principles are not compromised, he can stand firm no matter how the small details are compromised.

But if you want to get this so-called golden seal, it is definitely not enough to just watch "Day and Night".

Both the amount of foreign exchange it earns and the cultural output it carries are too weak.

Its greater significance lies in the fact that it has torn open a gap - after the first time, there will be a second and a third time... and then we can slowly output it later!
However, whether those works that truly have the ability to export culture can be exported may be a problem...

But now is not the time to think about these things. The most urgent task is to complete the post-production work of "The Beginning" first.

It is not only to catch up with the scheduled schedule, but there is a more important point - the project establishment process of "Nirvana in Fire" has been completed, and Shanhai Film and Television has begun to look for directors and actors.

Hurry up and finish the work at hand. Maybe you can go to the next door to get involved and become an assistant director or something to learn from others and gain some experience points...

Fortunately, the series was not very large at the beginning, with only fifteen episodes in total. By the beginning of June, the editing work had been completed.

Zhou Hao and Liu Wei came to Shanhai Films to deliver the edited film. Peter Lam did not hesitate and directly called the person in charge of Penguin Films and several respected film critics in the industry to hold a closed preview.

After the filming was completed, Lin Xina, who was idle at home, also ran over excitedly. She wanted to see her first drama as the female lead. What was the quality of the finished product?

Before the preview started, Zhou Hao went around greeting everyone under the introduction of Peter Lam, which was considered as another way to build up his network.

These film critics are truly honest and have good backgrounds and connections. They are completely different from those clowns on the Internet who take money to do things and call a black cat a white cat.

Several of them even have the hidden identity of "independent investors". As long as they get their recognition and appreciation, they won't have to worry about not getting investment if they want to invest in independent works in the future!

After a round of greetings, everyone took their seats.

The lights on the scene gradually dimmed, and the projector image was projected onto the white wall. There was no opening theme song, just a bright title "The Beginning".

Compared to the epic long shot of "Day and Night", the opening scene of "The Beginning" is much simpler, just a series of overhead shots of a sunny city.

Then the voiceover of the heroine Li Shiqing began to join in, "I want to call the police, there is a bomb on the No. 45 bus, and they are about to drive onto the cross-river bridge..."

Hearing this line, Lin Xina covered her face in embarrassment.

What a bad line!
In order to express the nervousness when calling the police, the speaking speed of this line is required to be quite high, which requires a lot of line delivery skills from the actors.

Lin Xina's ability is obviously not enough to perfectly handle such lines. Her words and sentences are very sticky when she speaks at a high speed, and it is even difficult to hear what she is saying without subtitles.

But no one present thought there was anything wrong, because... they were used to it.

Otherwise, why do you think those popular celebrities don’t dare to use their original voices?
On the one hand, they are too lazy to memorize the lines, and on the other hand, it is because they simply cannot handle the lines!

Without formal vocal training and line training, expecting them to recite the lines with emotion and passion is simply a pipe dream.

Lin Xina's lines are already top-notch among the most popular celebrities. At least... she used her original voice!

The scene changes and the camera cuts into a car that is stuck at a red light. A father and son are talking inside. The scene is very warm.

Then the next second... Boom!

The loud explosion and the fireball that almost jumped out of the screen scared almost everyone at the scene.

After waking up from the nightmare, Li Shiqing looked at the man beside her and a plan came to her mind, and then a hilarious "molestation" scene ensued.

Lin Xina's slightly exaggerated performance and Zhou Hao's innocent look made everyone at the scene smile knowingly.

You know what, this couple’s on-screen image is quite compatible!
As the plot continued to advance, the scene gradually became quiet, and pairs of eyes in the darkness gradually began to sparkle with strange colors.

This movie... is quite good!

Is this really something shot by a rookie director?!
