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

Chapter 337 That man is here with his new song!

"...Use the nunchaku quickly, hum hum ha

Quickly use the nunchucks and hum haha
Those who practice martial arts should remember that benevolence is invincible

Who is practicing Tai Chi so well..."

"Hurry up and use your nunchucks, hehehehehe

Quickly use the nunchucks and hum haha
If I had the skill to fly over eaves and walls
He is upright and unyielding, full of integrity..."

Listening to the sound coming from the monitoring headphones, Zhou Hao nodded with satisfaction.

After three days of running-in, the results are now quite good.

Originally, Cao Xing was a little distressed. His breath could barely keep up with the high-speed rap. However, once the speed increased, the clarity of his pronunciation dropped significantly. He was rejected by the recording engineer even after recording for a whole day.

As a result, when Zhou Hao arrived at the scene and heard it, he said on the spot...it doesn't matter if it's a failure!

Everyone at the scene was stunned. Isn't this too protective of their child?
If they hadn't known that Zhou Hao had an open girlfriend, they would have even suspected that Zhou Hao and Cao Xing had some improper relationship...

Cao Xing even felt a little embarrassed. "Brother, how about I practice for a few more days? Give me some time, I should be able to practice more clearly."

"No need." Zhou Hao waved his hand, "This is fine."

Are you kidding? Do you understand “Nunchucks” as well as I do?
Unclear pronunciation? That's what the original version should taste like!
If you pronounce each word clearly and loudly, it will not be authentic!
After everyone looked at each other, they could only obey the order.

There's nothing we can do about it. Who lets him have the final say here?
After practicing for three full days, Cao Xing finally recorded "Nunchucks".

But this is only a temporary result. The recording studio still has to continue with track mixing and post-production. Cao Xing also has no time to rest. He has to shoot the MV of this song before the filming of "Nirvana in Fire" starts.

If it was other MVs, it would probably only take a day and a half to put on makeup and start filming, but this MV is different.

Zhou Hao’s request to him was - use real stuff, real people should appear on screen to perform nunchakus!

This request directly scared Sister Juan.

This is her precious baby. If it gets bumped or broken, she will cry to death!

"Isn't this unnecessary? I heard that it's easy to get hurt when playing this. What if you're not careful..."

"It's because no one dares to play with young stars, so we have to let him try." Zhou Hao said calmly: "Competition is all about 'I have what others don't have, but I am better than others', right? Once he learns this skill, even marketing hype in the future will have more topics, right?"

Sister Juan was silent for a moment, then looked at Cao Xing, "What do you say?"

"I'll listen to you, brother." Cao Xing didn't hesitate for a second. "Besides, I think it's pretty cool and fun."

As he spoke, he imitated a few nunchaku movements, looking very silly.

Sister Juan shook her head speechlessly and could only accept her fate.

Now, Zhou Hao only needs to say one word, even if it is to ask this stupid boy to jump off the building, he will probably do it without hesitation.

But to be honest, Zhou Hao really has nothing to say about this kid... Just practice, just be careful.

That afternoon, Zhou Hao asked Peter Lam to find a martial artist who knew how to use nunchakus to teach Cao Xing how to use nunchakus.

Before he officially started learning, he took a set of photos of himself holding nunchakus, which would be used as the theme pictures for future songs. I don't know where the news leaked out, but before the song was even finished, many music platforms had already approached him.

"Zhou Hao, you have been working with our film and television department for such a long time, so we can be considered a family. How about collaborating with us in music as well?" This is from Penguin Music.

"Teacher Zhou, Xu Lingyue is the pillar of our Shopee Music. Would you like to come over and play? Don't worry, we will never interfere with your creative freedom. Just state the conditions!" This is from Shopee Music.

"Teacher Zhou, although our platform started a little late and is relatively small in scale, our community construction and user group operations are far better than those of the others. If you are willing to join us, we promise to give you the greatest resources..." This is from Tianlai Music...

There are also a bunch of platforms whose names I have never heard of, which have also rushed to extend olive branches and expressed their desire to cooperate.

Everyone knows that in terms of film and television resources, Zhou Hao has been temporarily tied to Shanhai Film and Television, and it is estimated that he cannot be pried apart in a short period of time.

As for music resources, there is still no owner. If we can sign this great artist... just wait to count the money!
So this time, when they heard that Zhou Hao had helped Cao Xing prepare a new song, these platforms immediately couldn't sit still and swarmed in waving checks.

The most generous offer was made by Penguin Music, which offered a signing fee of 10 million right away, as well as a full 80% commission of the profits!

Penguin is second, and Jinghong can get eighth.

This ratio is almost the best treatment in the industry, and it will make a lot of singers jealous!
Except for a few superstar singers who can get 90% of the income, other ordinary singers can get 70% to 80%, which is already very good. Some small singers with weak backgrounds can only get 30% to 40%...

The 80:20 distribution ratio plus a signing fee of 10 million are indeed very attractive conditions, but Penguin’s conditions are also very clear - within ten years, the songs of all artists under Jinghong Studio must be released exclusively on Penguin Music.

After careful consideration for a long time, Zhou Hao decided to reject the olive branch from Penguin.

It's not just because of his domineering attitude of wanting to have the most out of himself, but also out of long-term planning considerations - his business in the film and television sector has temporarily been indirectly tied to Penguin Pictures to form a community of interests.

If the music business is now also signed under Penguin, the business bundling will be too deep.

Putting all your eggs in one basket will lead to unpredictable consequences if there is any fluctuation.

Although the penguin looks kind and generous now, it is still a capitalist at heart. Greed and cold-bloodedness are its inherent nature.

Who knows if one day in the future the studio he founded will be slowly eroded and swallowed up by this capital giant?

The smarter approach is to act like a "Sea King", separate and bundle the businesses, and minimize the sunk costs as much as possible.

Among the remaining candidates, after repeated consideration and Zhang Hong's professional advice, he finally chose Tianlai Music.

Even though the quote they offered was the lowest, Zhou Hao still chose this company. The reason was very simple - this company was relatively small, and Zhou Hao could get more initiative in the cooperation.

This is very important to Zhou Hao, he doesn't want to be manipulated like a puppet.

After the two companies finalized their cooperation intention, Tianlai Music couldn't wait to reveal the news to the entire network.

Also "leaked" was Cao Xing's song "Nunchucks".

As soon as this news came out, there was another commotion.

“Here he comes, the man is here with his new song!”

"Damn it, are you finally willing to write a song?"

“My eyes are filled with tears. It turns out he still remembers that he can write songs!”
