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

Chapter 400 Su Man: Can you hurry up?

Zhou Hao tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep.

The news that the program was finally approved made him excited.

Add to that the poetry recitation program, and the song that the old lady sang when she returned to the Spring Festival Gala... he could already foresee how popular he would become after this year's Spring Festival Gala.

Carrying three programs on his shoulders alone, he is simply the weightlifting champion of the Spring Festival Gala!

After this year's New Year's Eve, those practitioners in the circle who were originally hostile to him will have to re-evaluate their own weight.

The next morning, regardless of his sleeplessness from the night before, he called Su Man.

"You're here really early..." Su Man yawned on the phone, her lazy charm penetrating into her heart along with the phone signal, "I was planning to call you today, and I've already found the candidate for you, but I don't know if you are satisfied or not."

Zhou Hao's eyes lit up. "Excuse me, could you give me their contact information?"

"Why, are you planning to abandon the matchmaker before the bride even enters the house?" Su Man chuckled and said, "Is it okay to eat your lunch at noon?"

"No problem at all."

A few minutes later, Su Man had chosen a place to dine.

What a coincidence, it was the copper pot hotpot restaurant in Yaer Hutong again.

Guo Chen had taken them there before when he hosted a dinner party, and the food was indeed delicious.

Before leaving, he called Kong Lin.

After all, he is the chief director, and his opinion should be sought when selecting people for the show. This is basic courtesy.

When the two met, they couldn't help laughing out loud.

It was both because of the joy of the program being approved and because of the rabbit eyes caused by the two of them staying up all night without sleep.

When we arrived at the place, we saw Su Man and two men in their thirties sitting there drinking tea and chatting.

Su Man saw Zhou Hao coming in from the corner of her eye, and she nodded with her mouth, "Here he comes."

The two men immediately stood up, "Director Kong, Teacher Zhou."

"Hello."

Taking the opportunity of shaking hands, Zhou Hao quickly looked at the two men.

He has a broad forehead, wide cheeks, a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looks very tough, a typical Guanzhong man.

Judging from appearance alone, he really can't be compared with those exquisite pretty boys, but his tough masculinity is definitely not comparable to those effeminate men.

What’s more, the actor needed this time is not a sissy, so this flavor is just right.

Kong Lin also smiled after looking at them. It was obvious that he was quite satisfied with the appearance of these two people.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Zhang Shaowu. I graduated from the Central Academy of Drama and am currently working in a drama theater." The taller one of them took the initiative to pour Kong Lin a cup of tea.

"My name is Du Peng. I graduated from Yanying University and now I'm...unemployed." This guy has slightly fair skin and his blushing is quite noticeable when he is embarrassed.

"Please sit down." Kong Lin pressed his hand and said, "I know basically what we asked you to do here, right?"

The two looked at each other and said, "I know a little bit, but not very clearly."

Zhou Hao took out two confidentiality agreements from his bag and said, "Take a look at it on site. If you think it's okay, sign it. If you don't understand, find a lawyer to take a look first."

Without a second thought, the two of them signed their names at the back.

Are you kidding? The director of the Spring Festival Gala asked you to sign a confidentiality agreement, and you actually hired a lawyer to review it one by one?
Maybe he's not sick?

After they signed the agreement, Zhou Hao took out a pair of USB flash drives and said, "Take it back and have a good look at it. Time is short and there is no time to dawdle. Familiarize yourself with the script as quickly as possible. Come back for an initial test in three days. If you pass, continue practicing and prepare for the Spring Festival Gala. If you fail, replace the actors immediately. Is that ok?"

The two nodded at the same time, "Okay." Three days to rehearse a play is indeed a bit tight in terms of time. After all, this is not an idol drama starring popular stars. They just need to stand there and output 1234567.

As a drama actor, voice, stage, appearance and performance all need to be carefully polished...

But they also knew that they were not in a position to bargain now because time was indeed very tight.

"Can we eat now?" Su Man, who had been silent the whole time, complained, "I'm starving."

Just one sentence made Kong Lin's bones soften. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Sorry, sorry, let's eat and talk at the same time."

After saying that, he winked at Zhou Hao and said, "You have to help me toast Xiao Su twice later. She has been a great help this time."

Zhou Hao:?
Damn, you want to express your gratitude by letting me drink?
You haven't even had a drop of alcohol, and now you're talking nonsense?
After eating for nearly two hours, everyone went home after having enough food and drink.

Before they parted, Su Man, who was drunk, pulled Zhou Hao and bit his ear, "Can you be faster? I can't stay idle at home any longer."

Listen, is this human talk?

Cattle and horses would rather lie at home and enjoy life every day, but you Romans are so busy looking for things to do every day...

When he turned around, he found that Kong Lin and the two generals Heng and Ha were staring at him blankly with admiration on their faces.

"What? There's a flower on my face?"

The two generals Heng and Ha laughed and quickly ran away.

"You are really good, you can even climb up Su Man's high branch." Kong Lin raised his eyebrows in a frivolous manner.

"Director Kong, I..."

"Oh, no need to explain." Kong Lin winked and said, "Everyone has been young before, I understand."

You know nothing!
"But I have to remind you." Kong Lin lowered his voice, "This girl looks very delicious, but there are many people who are interested in her behind her, and they are very strong. You have to be careful."

Zhou Hao shook his head speechlessly.

If you have no desires, there will be no demands, so where does the risk come from?
He has always kept his distance from women with complicated backgrounds.

The reason why I chose Xu Lingyue in the first place, besides simply being attracted by her beauty, was because she was simple enough.

There is no messy network of personal connections, nor any extremely complicated interest groups.

Apart from a few close friends in the music industry, she really doesn't look like someone from the entertainment industry.

I was just about to take a shower and catch up on some sleep when I got back to the hotel when Peter Lam called again.

"Zhou Hao, Penguin Video has contacted me several times. It's not a good idea to keep dragging it out like this. Why don't you just give me a quick explanation? What do you want for the next movie?"

From the tone of his voice, you can tell that he was severely tortured by the Penguin's lobbying offensive.

"You should be very clear about my plan."

“…really not filming anymore?
"At least I won't be filming any new shows in the short term. I've already publicly said I won't be filming any new shows within a year, but the phone call from Penguin isn't enough to make me break my promise."

"Besides, my dormancy can also give Penguin's film and television drama team a warning. Otherwise, they really think that we are like other studios that can be manipulated at will."

Peter Lam sighed deeply, "What about the original plan? What about 'The Undocumented Crime'?"

"Just take the photos yourself." Zhou Hao said without hesitation: "Anyway, as long as Liu Wei is there, it doesn't matter whether I'm there or not."

"What about that spy drama of yours? Are you not going to film it anymore?"

Zhou Hao suddenly remembered what Su Man had just whispered in his ear.

Well, you know what, this is really troublesome.
