Chapter 386 Can you stop being a follower?
When Nirvana in Fire was making great strides across the Internet, Zhou Hao received another piece of unlucky news—Beginning won an award in Korea.

The award he won was Asia’s Best New Director Award.

However, at the award ceremony, an embarrassing scene occurred where no one came to accept the award.

The organizer once again showed the sinister side of Xiao Xiba, and pretended to explain the reason for the absence of "The Beginning" on the official account of Little Blue Bird, but there was a gust of sinister wind between the lines, which was clearly a hint that "The Beginning" was playing big shots.

Then, as expected, the five permanent members of the Internet community began to set out on a large scale.

[I have seen this movie, it is very average! ]

[Chinese actors are so ugly, not as handsome as our Oppa! 】

[They shouldn't be given this award. The quality of this TV series is not good enough.]

[The female lead is so ugly, I don’t know where she got the plastic surgery, the technique is so poor]

[The Chinese really don’t know what’s good for them. Giving them an award is a sign of respect for them, but they are still absent.]

[He must be worried that he won’t win the prize, so he didn’t come on purpose…]

…………

Watching these messy rumors flying around without paying any attention, the organizer even had the audacity to call Zhang Hong, saying that they wanted Zhou Hao to reshoot his acceptance speech and send it over...

Halfway through the conversation, Zhang Hong got angry and hung up the phone.

"These idiots really gave themselves a lot of face. They really think they are the center of the universe?" Zhang Hong was rarely angry. "A shitty film and television festival was actually set up here. If you don't know, you would think it's an international A-level film festival!"

"You didn't hear his tone. It was like he was giving us orders. It made us feel like we were kneeling down to beg for food from him. It was hilarious!"

Zhou Hao rarely saw Zhang Hong lose her composure like this, and he couldn't help but laugh.

Xiao Xiba is Xiao Xiba, so humorous.

Still recording video?

Record your grandma's legs!

The market size is not even a hair's breadth larger than that of China, so where does the courage come from to act so arrogantly?
Divine gold!

On the fifth day after its launch, various data of "Nirvana in Fire" continued to rise steadily.

At this time, Zhou Hao received another thank-you call from Xu Min, because "Old Beauty" was officially launched on Penguin Music and sold 25 copies in its first sale!

For some popular top singers, this data is simply not worth mentioning.

But for Xu Min, who is almost out of fashion, this result is already quite gratifying!

She released a few singles in the past two years, but the first sales barely exceeded 100,000...

With this shot of confidence, she will be more confident about the next dish!
It was during this phone call that Zhou Hao learned another piece of news that made him laugh and cry - in just three days, Xu Min had received no less than ten invitation calls, all of which invited her to sing the theme song of a costume drama.

Most of these dramas haven’t even been approved yet and are just a PPT!

Zhou Hao was completely speechless after hearing this.

This scene seems familiar!

After the huge hit of "Day and Night", the entire online drama circle began to follow the trend and started to play suspenseful criminal investigation dramas, which directly led to a large-scale influx of similar dramas.

However, the quality of these dramas was not very good. Most of them were trashy and made the audience sick. This eventually led to large-scale reports and the 404 trend.

I didn’t expect that these people still haven’t learned their lesson. This time, seeing that “Langya Bang” is about to become a hit, they started to follow the trend again!

It’s easy to imagine what the drama industry will be like in half a year. It’s estimated that this kind of ancient idol drama with little emphasis on political intrigue will be everywhere... Alas, can’t you have some ideas of your own? What’s the point of always being a follower?

I'm going to shoot a spy drama later. Are you guys going to follow suit?
Thinking of the lesson from last time, Zhou Hao immediately called Peter Lam to inquire about Penguin's movements.

"As far as I know... Penguin seems to have established related projects as well, and there are more than one."

Zhou Hao: “…………”

“You know, capital is like this. When it sees an opportunity, it will rush upwards.” Obviously, there was some helplessness in Lin Jianyue’s voice.

"As expected." Zhou Hao sighed deeply, "The only lesson mankind has learned from history is that mankind will not learn any lessons from history..."

Lin Jianyue on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned for a moment, and after a long while he sighed softly: "Good sentence, you really speak eloquently."

"Lao Lin, this won't work." Zhou Hao couldn't help himself. "This cooperation method is equivalent to tying us up completely with Penguin's original drama department. We are like grasshoppers on the same rope."

"If they are willing to do something, I don't mind sharing honor and disgrace with them, but their actions are really...if they continue like this, they will only implicate us."

Lin Jianyue was silent for a few seconds, "So what do you want to do?"

"I mentioned this to you before, creating a separate theater unit on their platform, completely different from their own theater."

After taking a sip of water, Zhou Hao continued, "There are many advantages to doing this. First, we can have our own brand and independent word-of-mouth operations, which will avoid being implicated by them as much as possible."

Peter Lam was silent for a moment, "Continue."

"In addition, this can also leave us a way out - it's good to cooperate now, but what about the future? What if there is a conflict and we want to break up one year?"

"If we can change the store with our own brand at this time, we can avoid a lot of duplication of operations and complete a smooth transition to the greatest extent possible."

"As long as our theater's sign remains, we won't be afraid of being implicated by the platform's blind manipulation."

Peter Lam fell silent again, obviously weighing the pros and cons.

After about two or three minutes, he finally said, "This is a big deal. I'm going to hold a meeting to discuss it later. I'll let you know when there's a formal decision."

"it is good."

"By the way, if you really want to open a theater, what do you think it should be called?"

"Is there any need to think about this? Why not just call it Shanhai Theater?"

"…………Okay, wait for my news."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Peter Lam doesn't object, there's a high chance that this will succeed.

The operators of Penguin's film and television department are really stupid. They should just hold on to Shanhai and move forward steadily, but they have to do such a shameless thing.

There is no other way but to leave a way out in advance.

With Shanhai Film and Television's current trend, when the contract between the two parties expires, the other two companies will inevitably use sky-high prices to poach talents and seek cooperation, and the arrogant Penguin may not match the offer.

If you don't plan ahead, you'll have to do a lot of repetitive work when you switch to another franchise. But if you can transfer the IP of "Shanhai Theater" as a whole, it will be much more convenient.

On the other hand, Zhou Hao is also planning for his own future.

He also doesn't want to be overly tied to Penguin.

He has more long-term and ambitious plans for his future!
