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

Chapter 330: He’s floating! He’s floating!

Before participating in the recording, Zhou Hao knew that this program was difficult to record. It has always been known for its tricky questions. Several celebrities were asked questions that left them speechless at one point, resulting in many famous scenes.

But after personal experience, the continuous attacks still made him feel a little sweaty.

“How do you evaluate the difference between online dramas and traditional TV dramas?”

“Do you think online dramas will completely replace traditional media TV dramas in the future?”

"Where do you think the root cause of the increasingly uglier TV dramas is?"

“Do you support the ratings model for movies and TV series?”

……

A series of questions were all thrown to Zhou Hao, and Lin Xina couldn't even get a word in.

At the director's reminder, after asking Lin Xina a few trivial questions, the host turned his target back to Zhou Hao.

"There are two other web dramas that were produced at the same time as The Beginning, but they are far behind The Beginning in terms of quality and reputation. Where do you think the problem lies?"

Zhou Hao rubbed his eyebrows and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

This is not over yet!

It looks like this host won't let it go unless we get some explosive news.

After considering for a moment, he decided to relax the standards a little. "I don't think we have much advantage in production ability. The production teams of both The Mist and No Man's Land are excellent."

I came up and applied the BUFF first, and the female host smiled knowingly.

Pretty cunning, but it's all bullshit.

"If you want to know what is different... maybe the starting point is different."

"Oh?" The female host's eyes lit up, as if he had pried open his mouth?

"Because we have just entered the field of online dramas, the ideas of Shanhai Film and Television and I are relatively consistent, that is, we are determined to produce good works and build a solid reputation."

"So in fact, the two dramas we shot were both oriented towards the quality of the work. All the work revolved around the work itself. Only when the whole crew worked together with one mind and one strength could we produce satisfactory results."

"I would also like to thank Penguin Video. Although they also participated in the investment, they gave us complete autonomy during the filming and production process and did not interfere with our creation, allowing us to freely express our creative will."

Hearing this, many Penguin employees sitting behind the TV couldn't help but grin.

When drinking water, one should remember the person who dug the well. This guy is great!
The female host had already heard something, "So what you mean is... the original intentions of the other two films were problematic?"

"About the same." Zhou Hao nodded. "Because as far as I know, both companies are listed companies, and they have a lot of financial pressure internally, so everything must be based on profitability as the top priority."

"When making a drama with this goal in mind, there will inevitably be various compromises in filming and production, so it is normal that the quality of the final drama is not satisfactory."

Hearing this answer, the female host smiled and clapped, but secretly cursed him in her heart, "You little rascal."

He clearly knew everything, yet he chose this evasive answer.

Putting all the responsibility on the capital side may seem to offend capital, but in fact it is the answer with the least risk.

Because capital is the least afraid of criticism, as long as they can make money, they don't even mind making a movie specifically to discredit themselves...

But if we put the blame on the two crews themselves... the consequences would be unpredictable.

Intellectuals look down on each other, and colleagues are mortal enemies. This rule is also prevalent in the entertainment industry.

If Zhou Hao, as a junior, really dares to "criticize" his predecessors, he will probably be bullied in various ways in the future.

In this situation, he was able to choose the answer with the lowest risk, which showed that he was indeed clear-headed. The interview lasted for nearly an hour and a half, and after it was over, Zhou Hao found that his back was already covered in cold sweat.

This is a crappy show. I won’t come next time no matter how much you pay me!

The female host seemed to see through his thoughts. She took off the microphone and apologized, "I'm sorry, it's due to the program KPI. I'm sorry for offending you."

Zhou Hao waved his hand. He was not the kind of person who would quibble with it.

Why is it so hard to beat workers?

The female host also wanted to treat Zhou Hao to a meal as an apology, but was directly rejected by Zhou Hao.

All he wanted now was to go back to the hotel and sleep.

At 8:30 that evening, the last episode of "Beginning" was broadcast. Congratulations on the end!

Mingzhu TV did not directly take over the show with other dramas, but instead used a freshly released interview to fill the second time slot of the prime time.

The nearly one and a half hour show was edited down to one hour, removing some relatively bland question-and-answer rounds.

As soon as the interview was broadcast, it instantly became a hot topic on social media.

"Can anyone tell me what he is doing? How long has he been in the industry and he's already giving advice?"

"Just after achieving a little success, you're starting to get carried away?"

"Who does he think he is, judging others?"

"Is he sick? Why can't he comment? Based on the quality of The Beginning, is there anything wrong with him commenting on those two pieces of water-injected pork?"

"That's right, and what he said makes sense. The purpose of those online dramas nowadays is not pure. They are just for making money from the beginning. It's a wonder if they can be filmed well!"

"Some people with brain palsy are really interesting. They keep scolding Zhou Hao for not being qualified to comment on others. Then I want to ask you... what qualifications do you have to comment on Zhou Hao?"

"The one above, guess why no one replied to you? (dog head)"

"Hahaha, boomerangs are everywhere!"

The heated debate did not affect the reputation of "The Beginning".

Although the quality of the second half of the drama declined, it is still a classic web drama thanks to the contrast with its peers.

Due to the small number of episodes, the total number of views is far less than that of "Day and Night", but the average on-demand volume of each episode is basically equal to that of "Day and Night".

Taking into account the diversion factor of Mingzhu TV, this result is already scary!
After obtaining the complete ratings, Mingzhu Satellite TV made a prompt decision and continued to pay for the exclusive second round of broadcasting rights for "The Beginning", preparing to broadcast it again in another time period in two days.

Upon hearing this news, a group of colleagues were almost crying with envy.

They are both filming web dramas, why is there such a big difference between them?

Shanhai Film and Television, which has become a hot new star in the industry, is now experiencing painful troubles - there are too many people who want to invest in "Nirvana in Fire", far exceeding the originally planned share!
But they are all big names in the industry and I can’t refuse them, unless I don’t plan to stay in this circle anymore!
There is no choice but to redefine the quota.

While others were still struggling to get investment for their films, Shanhai was worrying about how to politely reject those investors who were so enthusiastic that they were almost crazy...

At the same time, the casting of "Nirvana in Fire" was officially put on the agenda.

Zhou Hao, who originally planned to take a two-day break, also received a call from Peter Lam.

"Come here quickly. If you don't make the decision yourself, who would dare to decide on the roles?"
