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

Chapter 444 Killing Two Birds with One Stone

The news of the completion of "Those Years" did not cause much waves on the Internet.

Apart from a few people in the circle and some die-hard fans with strong information networks, not many people know about this.

Ultimately, it was the turmoil within Youying that affected its publicity and promotion... To be more precise, there was no proactive publicity and promotion at all.

All the work has to be done by Zhou Hao himself.

It is obviously a big platform with deep pockets, but it is run like a makeshift team, which is really speechless.

However, all these matters were followed up by professionals within the studio, while Zhou Hao plunged into the editing work.

At this time, Youying finally did something about personnel matters and sent a complete editing team, all of whom worked with Zhou Hao.

Moreover, he received a strict order before setting off - don't be selfish or do anything else, just listen to Zhou Hao's command!

Editing was not difficult, as he already had the original version of the film in his mind, so he just cut it according to that.

However, there were several large-scale shots in the original version that definitely could not be added in, so he simply deleted them during filming...

After three days of work, the editor sent by Youying was stunned.

This is fucking...why does it seem so simple?

There is almost no waste material. You just have to piece it together according to the plot. You don't need to use your brain at all, right?
Although the narrative technique of this film is a bit direct, it is not boring at all. The sour and hazy love in adolescence makes everyone in the team feel deeply emotional.

Who hasn’t been young? Everyone has had a campus romance experience to some extent.

However, among so many youth-themed film and television dramas on the market today, only a few can truly capture the essence of campus romance.

In real campus relationships, there aren't so many love triangles, and so many vulgar scenes of quarrels, promiscuity, and abortions.
If you don’t know, you might think that all the middle school students in China are gangsters and little gangsters!

Not to mention other companies, Youying has produced several works on similar themes, and the quality...

It can only be said that there is a reason why Youying’s online movie business has fallen to this point.

After a week of seclusion, most of the editing work had been completed.

This speed also surprised Youying.

The last time I heard about such a shooting and production speed was with the fast-moving crew in the Hong Kong film industry. I didn’t expect that Mr. Zhou is also so fast?

In eleven days, the first rough cut was completed and the narrative thread of the entire film had been straightened out.

The remaining work can be directly handed over to the editing team for secondary fine-tuning, and the filters must be debugged at the same time during the fine-tuning process.

For youth-themed works, the quality of the filter will largely determine the first impression of the entire film.

After all, movies of this theme are just "memories" for most people.

Memories have their own filters and are very precious. If you add gaudy tones of bright red and green... people will just click X after seeing it for the first time and won't even notice anything.

The filter direction that Zhou Hao set for the team is - fresh and natural.

Don't go for those fancy colors, try to keep it clean.

Lin Xina's face already has a filter, and there is no need for anything superfluous.

After explaining the editing work, Zhou Hao immediately moved on to the next task - writing the theme song of the same name.

With the original version as a basis, it was not difficult to copy it, but what gave him a headache was the selection of the singer.

According to the original plan, he was going to let Cao Xing sing this song.

Don't let the rich water flow to outsiders' fields.

But in the end Cao Xing directly rejected it - Brother, you are the protagonist, so you should sing it!

And this is not my style of music at all, I find it a bit weird myself!
However, Zhou Hao had no intention of taking up this opportunity. Firstly, his singing skills were not up to standard, so there was no need to force it.

Secondly, directing and acting was tiring, and he didn't want to add the identity of a singer to his own. He had no choice but to consult Zhang Hong for advice.

Zhang Hong’s answer was – if you don’t want to choose from existing singers, then just hold a campus audition.

Spend a little money to select the theme song singer, and at the same time promote "Those Years". Why not kill two birds with one stone?
This idea made Zhou Hao applaud.

He is a veteran after all!

Reliable!

That evening, the studio's planning team produced a corresponding audition document overnight, and after Zhou Hao's approval, it was directly distributed to the entire Internet.

"We are recruiting singers from all over the Internet. Males are welcome. Anyone who is a student can sign up!"

A piece of audition document instantly shocked the entire Internet!

This kind of singer audition is actually not new, and many talent shows have done it.

But what’s different this time is that the initiator is Zhou Hao!
Who is Zhou Hao?

He is the most popular and powerful musician in the current Chinese entertainment industry. None of the songs he writes are unsuccessful!

As long as you are not afraid of being affected by his outburst personality, then he is definitely the best target - as long as you hold on to him tightly, you will 100% become famous!

On the day the auditions were announced, more than 30,000 college students signed up to participate, with registration points spread all over the country.

Related discussion topics are also very lively on the Internet.

"What is Zhou Hao trying to do? He's holding an audition out of the blue?"

"Traffic marketing? He doesn't care about that, does he?"

"Didn't he say he went to Youying to make a movie? Why is there no news about the movie? Instead, they are playing Shanghai Selection again?"

"Could it be that his studio is planning to sign a new person?"

"That's unlikely. There's Cao Xing standing in the way. The existing resources can't even feed him."

"Don't worry about why. Anyway, this is a good thing for me because it means that Teacher Zhou will release a new song!"

"Yeah, just sit back and wait for the new song!"

In addition to ordinary netizens, many singers in the industry have also joined the crowd.

Singer Yang Jian: "Teacher Zhou, do you think there is still a chance for me, a college student who has expired?"

Singer Wang Lina: "Teacher Zhou, I still haven't received my degree certificate. Can I still be considered a student?"

Young singer Zhu Ming: "Teacher Zhou, is it too late for me to go back and repeat my studies now?"

Singer Zhang Tianlai: "A 44-year-old student applied to compete!"

……

As more and more singers joined in the memes, the popularity of this wave of auditions began to rise rapidly.

By the second day, the number of people who signed up had exceeded 50,000 and was still growing.

This number of applicants makes many talent shows feel ashamed.

They personally went to colleges and universities to recruit people, and sometimes they had to rely on others to mobilize the atmosphere. Zhou Hao's online announcement could directly attract tens of thousands of college students...

Comparing yourself to others really makes you angry!
On the third day, Zhou Hao also officially announced the final reward for the audition champion.

The entire social media network went crazy!
