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

Chapter 380: Premature Birth of "Nirvana in Fire"

The new book of The Return of the Condor Heroes was launched and the sales were very encouraging. Zhou Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

He took some time out from his busy schedule to write "Old Beauty" and summoned Sister Xu Min over.

The next day after receiving the call, Xu Min turned down all the work on hand and rushed to Jinghong Studio.

However, when she finished reading the score of "Old Beauty", the enthusiasm in her eyes was instantly extinguished by half.

"Xiao Zhou, this song...can't be said to be bad, but it might be a bit difficult to make it popular." Xu Min said it very tactfully, but the meaning was very clear.

This song is not suitable for ranking on the charts, because the audience for this kind of ancient style song that is full of quibbles is too small!

"I know." Zhou Hao smiled calmly, "This song was originally tailor-made for Nirvana in Fire. We didn't intend to use it to hit the charts to squeeze out its commercial value."

Xu Min frowned as he listened and said, "Little brother, I'm paid to sing."

You won't treat me like this, will you?
"Sister Xu, don't get me wrong. I invited you to sing this song on behalf of the crew." Zhou Hao said as he took out another song from the drawer. "This song is the one I gave you."

Xu Min's eyes lit up instantly. He grabbed the music score and hummed it softly. He became excited immediately.

"This song is good, this song is good! Good boy, your songwriting skills are really extraordinary. Xu Lingyue's vision is really sharp!"

Zhou Hao laughed, "As long as you like it, Sister Xu."

"I like it, of course I like it. Who wouldn't like this kind of song?" Xu Min waved his hand, "Five hundred thousand yuan as a reward plus a share of the profits, is that okay?"

Wow, this sister is really generous.

The initial price we discussed before was 300,000 plus commission, but I didn't expect her to raise the price by 200,000 just because of a disagreement.

The more proactive Party A’s like this, the better!
The specific details of the contract will naturally be handled by Zhang Hong, so Zhou Hao doesn't need to worry about it.

Xu Min obviously really liked this song, and in such a good mood he even paid for a buffet meal out of his own pocket to treat everyone in the studio, which greatly improved his popularity.

Now it’s not just Zhou Hao who likes this client, the whole studio is thinking about this generous elder sister…

Xu Min didn't waste any time and settled down in Mingzhu City. While recording the song, she discussed with Zhou Hao about fine-tuning the arrangement, striving to make the song perfect.

This Sister Xu was indeed popular in her past, but as she grew older and her functions deteriorated, coupled with the impact of a new generation of singers, she has gradually lost her market competitiveness.

In the past two years, apart from being able to show up at some evening parties, it is almost impossible to get any work.

She regards this cooperation with Zhou Hao as one of the most important opportunities. Whether she can usher in a second spring in her career depends on this!

Therefore, she attaches great importance to this song and must make it 100% perfect!

Zhou Hao's leisurely life also came to an end. During the day, he accompanied Xu Min to record songs and arrange music. Occasionally, he had to show up at Li Guohua's place to prove that he was not a producer who was paid for nothing...

Compared with Xu Min's meticulous revision progress, the editing work of "Nirvana in Fire" is progressing at a rapid pace.

Since Li Guohua and Zhou Hao had already explained clearly what needed to be expressed in the camera during the filming, the amount of material accumulated during the filming was very small, and there was no need to dig for gold in shit and then edit and splice it.

The editing process was so smooth that Li Guohua sighed several times that he had never taken on such an easy role... It was worry-free during filming and it was equally worry-free during editing.

If all projects could be this worry-free, at least half of his hair could be saved! In the blink of an eye, it is almost the end of October, and the post-production and editing of "Nirvana in Fire" are officially announced to be completed, which is more than two months faster than the original plan!

The happiest one here is naturally Penguin Video. In recent times, the reputation of its self-produced theaters has almost collapsed, and it urgently needs a savior to save the ratings and reputation!

The much anticipated "Nirvana in Fire" is naturally the most perfect answer!
Upon hearing that the editing was completed, Penguin immediately mobilized all its connections to ensure that "Nirvana in Fire" could enter the green channel for review, and strive to pass the review and obtain the broadcast license in the shortest time possible!

Zhou Hao also had an additional task - to participate in the music production.

Fortunately, he doesn't need to take the lead this time. Shanhai has a special team in charge. He only needs to be responsible for direction control and final acceptance of the results.

Anyway, as for the soundtrack, as long as the mood matches, it doesn't need to be exactly the same as the original.

Besides, he doesn't want to take on all the work by himself, he should at least leave some food for the professional players!
I can only say that Penguin's public relations team is really amazing. In just ten days, "Nirvana in Fire" successfully completed the review process and obtained the broadcast license.

This speed shocked everyone in the circle.

Damn, the penguin is really anxious!
With the acquisition of broadcasting qualifications, all plans have been moved forward accordingly.

This super drama, which was originally planned to be broadcast at the end of the Lunar New Year and the beginning of the New Year, was directly moved up by Penguin to the end of November of the Gregorian calendar.

If the soundtrack and theme song had not been completed, and the publicity and promotion work had not been in place, they would have wanted to start broadcasting the next day.

I really can’t wait!
A number of satellite stations were also forced to change their plans.

According to the original plan, the bidding meeting for the purchase of "Nirvana in Fire" would not be officially held until December of the Gregorian calendar, but now the time plan has become unrecognizable.

Although everyone felt a little dissatisfied, they still had to hold their noses and follow the penguin's pace.

There’s no way around it, the works done as a partnership between Shanhai and Zhou Hao are just too popular!

Previously, a low-cost, small-scale production called “The Beginning” was a huge hit on Pearl TV. This time, it’s an S+-level production that cost a huge amount of money. If nothing unexpected happens, it can basically be booked as the king of online dramas this year!

If you can grab a hot-selling item of this level, you’ll make a profit!
On the second day after Penguin and Shanhai jointly issued the invitation, more than a dozen powerful satellite stations gathered in the office building of Shanhai Film and Television.

These people all came with a clear order - to grab the satellite premiere rights for "Nirvana in Fire" at all costs.

And it has to be exclusive!
There are more than a dozen contestants, but there can only be one winner.

In this smoke-filled atmosphere, the preview of the new film was secretly kicked off in the Shanhai building...

Two hours later, purchasing representatives from all the satellite stations on site could no longer sit still.

Instead of being dragged down, the quality of this film far exceeded their expectations.

The script, the costumes, the props, the actors' acting skills, the picture texture, the camera language... After watching two full episodes, there is almost nothing wrong with it. It is completely different in texture from other web dramas!

It still has the familiar taste, and it is far ahead in the same field.

Today's bidding meeting is destined to be very brutal!
