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

Chapter 318 Are you selling songs? See through it but don't say it!

The preview lasted for two hours. When everyone came out, the door was already filled with entertainment reporters and media people who had rushed there after hearing the news.

However, to their disappointment, all participants remained silent and no one uttered a word.

But some experienced reporters still found some clues from the faces of those film critics - they looked very happy, and they kept interacting with Zhou Hao and the others...

From the looks of it, it shouldn’t be that bad!

Turning back, they typed today's exclusive headlines on their notebooks.

《The preview was a huge success, and <Beginning> received a standing ovation! 》

"Shanhai Films is making a comeback, vowing to regain the lost ground in online dramas!"

"Ambitious, Zhou Hao is coming with "The Beginning"! "

…………

As soon as these reports came out, they were unsurprisingly met with all kinds of ridicule.

"Come on, what good movie can a rookie director make?"

"With this money for marketing, why don't you spend it on hiring a better director?"

"He chased Director Xu away and came up to pick peaches himself. Now he's even trying to market it online. Someone is shameless!"

"Haha, being a director isn't that easy, just wait for the car to fail!"

The two "drama fans" who were originally arguing with each other, faced with the belated release of "The Beginning", actually spontaneously held hands and formed an "explosion-proof alliance".

On all social media platforms, as long as there is news coverage about "The Beginning", there will inevitably be various pessimistic views in the comment section below.

The two companies even controlled comments directly on the official account of "The Beginning". The comments section of the official's latest dynamics were full of negative arguments.

Faced with this situation, Shanhai Film and Television is also very stubborn and you can do whatever you want.

The more crazy you jump now, the more miserable you will be when you fall down later.

Just wait and see!

The day after the preview ended, Shanhai Film and Television submitted the edited material for review, and all that was left was... waiting.

There are basically no sensitive elements in this film, and there will be basically no problems with the review. As long as the permission is obtained, it can be arranged for broadcast immediately.

However, for Zhou Hao, waiting does not mean taking a vacation. After only one day of rest, he immediately started his next task - helping Cao Xing create an EP.

Cao Xing needs works to maintain his popularity, and his studio is in urgent need of income to replenish its capital chain, so this EP is imperative.

Writing songs is not difficult, the difficulty lies in finding a suitable style to suit Cao Xing.

"Brother, what I learned before was singing and dancing. You just need to give me some POP songs. I may not be able to sing other songs." Cao Xing is very self-aware.

Zhou Hao shook his head and said no, "You are already this old and still doing POP singing and dancing... How many years can you still jump around? Besides, these so-called POP dance songs of yours are almost all the same, and you forget them as soon as you hear them. There is no memorable point at all."

Sister Juan was a little unhappy to hear this, "Xingxing's previous songs all sold quite well..."

"Don't blame me for telling you the truth." Zhou Hao sneered, "Are those songs really music? Are you sure they're not soft, flirtatious songs?"

"The women were wearing short shorts and dancing those dances with strong sexual connotations on the stage, and the men were wearing tights, putting on makeup and lipstick, and also dancing those seductive dances... What is the selling point of this thing? Don't you understand?"

Sister Juan’s face turned red and she kept silent.

There are some things that everyone knows, but they just don't say it out loud.

What is fresh meat?
In Cantonese-speaking areas, there is a more straightforward term – duck.

The so-called trend of young and handsome men is, to put it bluntly, the culture of male homosexuality.

So who cares whether your song is good or not?

As long as you look good in makeup and dance vigorously, that's enough. But that's not what Zhou Hao wants.

"Have you ever received any formal vocal training?"

"Yes." Cao Xing nodded and said, "The requirements in Korea are quite strict. Unless there are special circumstances, lip-syncing is not allowed. Vocal and breath training are compulsory courses."

"What are the functional conditions?" Zhou Hao asked again.

Cao Xing scratched his head. "It's just average. The middle range is OK, but the high range is thin and not nice to listen to. My vocal teacher at the time said that I could only sing those easy pop songs."

Zhou Hao understood that he had average singing talent and could only rely on the music to carry him.

"I understand. You go back first. I'll let you know when there's news."

After seeing Cao Xing off, Zhou Hao began to search the music library in his mind...

Just as he was racking his brains, his mother Li Guiqin suddenly called him.

"Son, are you free to come back soon? We are moving to a new house the day after tomorrow, can you come?"

"So fast?" Zhou Hao was shocked.

"What's the hurry? We've already been busy for half a year. You've been too busy and forgot about time. If it wasn't for the need for ventilation and odor removal, we could have moved in two months earlier!"

Zhou Hao thought about it and agreed.

After all, moving is a big deal, especially since my mother Li Guiqin is very superstitious. There will probably be a series of rituals, and I have to go.

That night, he drove back to Zhouhai.

When we arrived at the old house, it was almost empty and my parents were packing up the last of their daily necessities.

Having not seen her son for half a year, Li Guiqin took Zhou Hao aside to ask about his well-being, which made Old Zhou roll his eyes.

It's not like you're going there to be reformed and tortured, so it's not that serious.

A loving mother has many failed sons!
The next morning, Zhou Hao drove the last carload of luggage to his new home.

After more than half a year of renovation, the interior of this villa has been completely transformed. Zhou Hao likes the simple and elegant new Chinese style of decoration very much.

The various furniture are also perfectly matched, without any nouveau riche feel of extravagance and luxury, everything is just right.

"How is it? Are you satisfied?" Li Guiqin looked at Zhou Hao nervously.

"Nothing to say." Zhou Hao gave her a thumbs up. "Mom, you didn't study interior decoration back then. What a waste of talent."

"Go to hell!" Li Guiqin smiled widely, "Hurry up, hurry up, clean up quickly, there will be guests coming soon!"

According to custom, when moving into a new house, one should set up a table with food and wine, and invite close friends and relatives to come together for a gathering.

What's more, this time they are moving into a big villa, so Li Guiqin will definitely not be a taciturn person, and she will definitely prepare a grand feast.

Zhou Jianhua has always been dissatisfied with this, muttering to her that she is extravagant and wasteful, but Zhou Hao has no objection.

After being trapped by life for a lifetime, it is rare to have a chance to be proud of yourself, so it is normal to show off a little.

Around ten o'clock in the morning, a group of relatives and friends arrived one after another.

Even that annoying aunt and her family came along with the old man to join in the good cheer.

When the aunt saw this luxurious villa, she couldn't hide the jealousy on her face!

Worshiping gods and offering sacrifices to ancestors took the entire morning.

When it was finally time to have dinner, Zhou Hao suddenly received an unexpected call.

"Uncle, I'm at your Zhouhai Station, come and pick me up!"
