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

Chapter 462: Old Friend Returns
Although Zhou Hao himself was full of confidence, the reputation of the preview of "Those Years" had obviously affected the expectation management of the film within Youying.

Although on the surface the online movie department gave "unreserved" support, there was a clear "shrinkage" in the allocation of publicity and promotion budgets.

Just a few days ago, they had the nerve to say that they could make additional investments. However, as soon as the preview ended, their attitude changed immediately.

In the face of real expectations of benefits, everything is indeed empty.

But Zhou Hao just pretended not to see it, because the current budget was completely sufficient and he didn't care at all about them increasing the so-called budget.

When the film becomes a hit in the future, they will naturally come back on their knees and admit their mistakes.

At this moment, he didn't have much extra time to deal with these trivial matters. He was so busy that he was a little dizzy.

The performance of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" has been steadily increasing. The average subscription has exceeded 120,000, and the growth curve is still on an upward trend. It is basically only a matter of time before it breaks through 150,000.

However, the script of the mobile phone movie has always been a headache for him. He has always been a little unsure and has not been able to determine the final version after several revisions.

At the same time, he also had to write songs for Cao Xing and Zhao Leilei.

After the new year, Cao Xing has not produced any new works except for the song "Gong Xi Fa Cai" and the MV of "Nunchucks", and has been following Guo Chen to learn acting.

Although he is no longer participating in the competition for traffic, he still has to make a living in this circle. It is not a good idea to stay invisible all the time. It has been half a year, and it is time to refresh his presence.

In addition, Zhao Leilei needs to give her some works. After signing the contract, this girl has been sitting on the bench and doing almost nothing.

In fact, this was Zhang Hong's suggestion - this girl is a second-generation star and is more or less proud. She should first use the cold bench to dampen her spirit and see how she reacts.

If the attitude is good, then enter the cultivation stage.

If she starts to cry, make a fuss, and then threaten to commit suicide, then continue to keep her in the cold.

Jinghong Studio has no shortage of people, but does not welcome troublemakers.

Although Zhou Hao felt that this blatant PUA behavior in the workplace was a bit cruel, he didn't say much.

Trust the people you employ; don't employ people you don't trust. Since you have appointed Zhang Hong as the shopkeeper, you have to trust her ability to handle things.

Fortunately, Zhao Leilei did stand the test. She didn't say a word during the time she was sitting on the bench and just practiced singing by herself.

Now, it's time to give her a little sweetness.

Both of them needed new songs, and after thinking about it, Zhou Hao decided to just do it all at once - a duet between a man and a woman.

Besides, Master Li Fang wanted to bring these two together by creating a duet project, which would also help them improve their relationship.

In that case, we can’t have anything like that about deep hatred and deep infatuation between a man and a woman... just have sweetness.

After filtering it in his mind, he immediately determined his target - "Summer Blown by the Wind".

This is one of the most classic duet songs of Lao Lin and Jin Sha. It once dominated the duet charts of KTV and sweetened the hearts of countless boys and girls.

Zhou Hao still remembers the amazement he felt when he first heard this song, especially Jinsha's clear and sunny voice, which was like a cool breeze in summer. It was amazing.

Zhao Leilei’s voice is not as lethal as Jin Sha’s, but her singing ability makes up for some of the gap. As long as you don’t pursue perfection, it’s enough.

He completed the lyrics and composition as quickly as possible and immediately sent it to Cao Xing and Zhao Leilei.

While the two were practicing behind closed doors, Zhou Hao had already started looking for a recording studio to coordinate the accompaniment, striving for a seamless connection and maximum efficiency.

Five days later, when Cao Xing and Zhao Leilei came out of quarantine, the accompaniment had been basically completed, and the recording began with a seamless rhythm as they had hoped.

The song itself is actually not difficult, but it has an inherent hurdle - it requires atmosphere and tacit understanding.

You may sing very well, but when others hear you, they know you are singing to the audience. In this case, no matter how much you show off your skills, it will be useless.

Because that's not what this song is about.

The correct answer is to make the audience feel that this song is sung by a man and a woman to each other...that’s the right sweet and sour taste!
It's easier said than done. After three days of hard work in the studio, the recordings didn't sound right, which drove Cao Xing a little crazy.

"Brother, what kind of effect do you want?"

Zhou Haozhi replied directly: "What I want is that after hearing it once, I want to go back to school and fall in love. My mind will automatically pop up the hot summer day, riding a bike to take the girl I like out to play... Do you understand what I mean?"

Cao Xing's eyes widened. "I don't understand."

Zhao Leilei frowned, as if thinking about something.

"Teacher Zhou, I'll take a two-day break and then continue recording."

Zhou Hao didn't ask the reason for the leave and approved it directly.

There are some things he cannot guide, and they can only rely on their subjective initiative to solve them.

Two days later, the two returned to the recording studio.

This time when I opened my voice, the feeling was completely different.

The sweetness of that voice, that sense of atmosphere...it's completely different from before.

That's it!

The recording was completed successfully in just half a day, and even the recording engineer couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

Sounds good!

Zhou Hao was also generous with his praises and highly praised the two of them.

As for why there was such a significant change... he didn't want to ask, and was too lazy to ask.

Love it or not, it doesn’t matter.

In late July, when the much-anticipated "The Voice of China" officially entered its second phase of competition, a new song suddenly emerged without any preheating and was released on Douyin.

"Summer Blown by the Wind"?
Cao Xing?

Zhao Leilei?
Shit, isn’t this the duo from “Gong Xi Fa Cai”?

Countless Douyin users saw the push notification of this new song almost at the same time, and a cool breeze blew away the hustle and bustle of this summer.

What surprised Zhou Hao a little was that on the day the new song was released, the hot headlines in the music industry went to someone else.

#Lv Junfeng officially returns#
When he first saw the name, Zhou Hao felt a little unfamiliar and dazed. After a while, he remembered that wasn't this Xu Lingyue's exclusive arranger back then?

It was because he backstabbed Xu Lingyue and defected to Yang Yan that Xu Lingyue's mentality collapsed, which directly led to the anticlimactic ending of "Let's Go! The Backsun Road"...

Later, because Yang Yan was crazy and wanted to commit suicide, she got sent to jail and worked on a sewing machine. Lu Junfeng disappeared without a trace.

Everyone thought he was going to retire, but unexpectedly he made a comeback after lying dormant for two years.

His first assignment after his comeback was not a new song, but an online interview.

This was nothing, but he mentioned Xu Lingyue many times during the interview, intentionally or unintentionally...

No matter what his purpose is, marketing accounts and self-media are naturally the most happy to see this kind of material.

"Lü Junfeng returns to the stage and confesses that he still has feelings for Xu Lingyue"

Zhou Hao was very unhappy when he saw this headline.

Damn, what the hell!
