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

Chapter 458: The Three Imperial Families

When Zhou Hao began to tinker with the script in seclusion, the entire social media platform was almost occupied by "The Voice of China".

After the momentum from the previous few episodes, the popularity of this program has reached an astonishing level - during the fourth episode, at its peak, more than four million people were watching online at the same time!

What is the concept of this number?
Such exaggerated data has never appeared in the self-produced variety shows of the three major streaming media companies!

When the number of people watching Penguin's unique live variety show "Colorful Clouds" exceeded one million, everyone at Penguin was so happy that they went straight to Weibo to show off...

However, now, the number of simultaneous online users of The Voice of China has exceeded four million!

Moreover, these 4 million are not the kind of "on-demand" that is full of water, but the real "effective playback volume".

Another number is even more astonishing - the completion rate of the fourth episode is as high as a terrifying 82%!

This number also far surpasses all other variety shows.

It’s not just online variety shows, it’s all the variety shows nowadays!
In the entire history of variety shows, this is an extremely abnormal set of data.

The word "explosion" is not even enough to describe the popularity of "The Voice of China", it can be called a nuclear explosion!
This is already a phenomenal variety show. Not only on the Internet, but also in various offline life circles, related discussions are almost everywhere...

The advertising prices for "The Voice of China" are also rising. The price per 15 seconds has risen to 45... and there is no sign of the upward trend stopping.

Youying's mouth was almost crooked from smiling. This wasn't just making money without doing anything, this was like digging a gold mine without doing anything!
The other two families in the Yu San family were drooling at the sight.

Especially at Penguin, according to information secretly leaked by Peter Lam, Jiang Yan pointed at her colleagues in the online drama department and yelled at them at an internal meeting of the company, which broke their defense. The online drama department responded with a quarrel on the spot...

However, this matter was later gagged within Penguin and was not allowed to be spread outside.

After all, everyone knew that Jiang Yan was making an indirect criticism. At that time, VIP grading was definitely not something that the online drama department could decide on its own. The decision was made at the main company headquarters.

The quarrel between the variety show department and the online drama department directly broke the window paper of "knowing everything" between them. The company must step in and give an explanation.

After all, letting Zhou Hao go for nothing and helping the enemy to create a phenomenal hit like "The Voice of China" is indeed a bit tricky for Penguin Video...

Meanwhile, Kiwi next door was holding a meeting to discuss one thing - is it possible to poach Zhou Hao?

The cost may be a bit high, but it is worth it no matter how expensive it is, because as long as he is given a few years, he will be able to help make back the money with interest!
Just look at the show “The Voice of China”. It’s only been a month, but it’s already become so popular.
The income from this month alone is estimated to be enough to offset the cost of signing Zhou Hao!
What’s even more frightening is that this variety show was just something Zhou Hao created “in passing” to promote his website.

Think about his dominance in the field of online dramas... He is definitely a God of Wealth!

As long as we can sign it, any price is worth it!
Don’t worry about whether it succeeds or not, just start swinging the hoe first!

While the three major families began to get busy with their own things, Zhou Hao had already started tinkering with his new script.

Hongmeng immediately expressed support for his idea of ​​using mobile phones to shoot movies.

After all, this spokesperson of theirs can be regarded as the hit assembly line of the Chinese entertainment industry. Whatever he does becomes a hit... Haven't you seen how popular "The Voice of China" is now!

Moreover, this creative idea just fits the main selling point of its own P series. Once it becomes popular, it will be more effective than any other advertisement!

Anyway, the cost is not high, just think of it as spending money to shoot an advertisement, what if it becomes a hit?
After getting permission from Hongmeng, Zhou Hao began to speed up the script creation. Because this was a custom-made movie, there was no ready-made answer to copy, so he could only piece it together and finally add some of his own ideas to integrate it into a complete work.

So even though the film is not large in size, it took much longer to make than all previous scripts.

After he had been tinkering with the computer for half a month, Zhang Hong came to his door with a fat man wearing glasses.

The man looked to be in his forties, but half of his forehead was bald, a standard hairstyle for a strong man.

Seeing Zhou Hao, the man with glasses was a little nervous. "Hello, Mr. Zhou, my name is Tang Yong, and I'm a game programmer."

"Hello, sit down and talk." Zhou Hao secretly gave Zhang Hong a thumbs up.

Although this sister complains all the time, she is really helpful.

After a few polite words, the topic quickly moved on to the main content.

After several rounds, Zhou Hao had basically understood the basic situation.

In addition to being a game programmer, Tang Yong is also the boss of a game studio.

The studio is very small, with only twelve people including himself, and they usually rely on outsourcing business to make a living.

In the early years, they had been doing outsourcing for a company in Taiwan, and their revenue was relatively stable.

But two years ago, this Taiwanese game company was dissolved, and their outsourcing studio suddenly lost its main source of income.

In the past two years, they have been looking for work everywhere to make a living, but have basically not gotten any decent work. After all, the mainstream of the Chinese game market is online games, and reducing costs, increasing efficiency and making money from players is the only goal.

Why spend money to outsource something that can be done by a few programmers?

After running into obstacles everywhere in their attempts to get new work, they also thought about making a game on their own and selling it… However, after going through all the trouble to make a small-scale game, the sales were dismal.

The failure of this attempt has directly worsened the studio’s financial situation, and it is now basically on the brink of collapse.

If there is no turnaround, bankruptcy liquidation is only a matter of time.

It was at this time that Zhang Hong came to the door...

For Tang Yong, the name Zhou Hao is certainly well-known, but his fame is basically concentrated in the entertainment industry.

Different fields have different worlds. Does he really understand games?
What if this Teacher Zhou likes to be an amateur instructing the experts, and tells them to make those weird and crappy games... then it would be better to just disband the team!
That's why Tang Yong went to the meeting alone today. He wanted to see what Zhou Hao's attitude was first.

Zhou Hao has a headache about Tang Yong and his "Naughty Cat" game studio.

Although this team has a good foundation, the debt hole is quite large.

You can take over, but you have to make a low-budget game first to fill this hole!
