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

Chapter 516 The so-called united front value

The storm caused by Director Lai lasted only two days before it was forcibly "put out".

Hot searches, social media squares, information communities...there is almost no related news to be seen in these popular locations.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that when the situation has reached a point where a big hand behind the scenes is needed to control and influence the situation, Director Lai’s fate is basically predictable.

It may not be dealt with immediately at this stage. After all, we still have to consider the issue of face. It is estimated that it will only be put on hold temporarily.

But within two or three months, Director Lai will definitely leave.

Beneath this temporary calm, there are undercurrents that are difficult for ordinary people to imagine.

Zhou Hao also gave Zhou Yuanyuan a strict order, absolutely not allowing his family members to get involved in this matter, so as to avoid being implicated for no reason.

The old dog still has three teeth. If Director Lai bites you in his dying struggle, you will be in pain for several days even if you don’t die.

During the few days he stayed at home, except for sleeping and eating, Zhou Hao spent almost all his time in front of the computer.

After the Chinese New Year, there are two projects that need to be immediately promoted - "Black Myth: Wukong" and that mobile phone movie.

In fact, when he traveled through time and space and was reborn, he had not yet officially played the main game of "Black Myth", so he also needed to create the script himself.

However, although he has not played the game itself, he has played the spiritual predecessor of this game, "God of War", and has a basic understanding of the team's script ideas and tone.

In addition, after in-depth analysis and exploration of several trailers, we can actually dig out a lot of plot clues from them. After connecting them together, we can vaguely construct a general outline of the story.

His job is to fill in the story framework with flesh and blood to make it a complete story.

After working hard for three consecutive days, he finally finished a first draft in outline form.

When Xu Lingyue finished reading the script, she was stunned.

"Isn't this change of yours... a little too dark?"

"Dark?" Zhou Hao laughed, "Have you never read the original novel of Journey to the West? Compared to it, my story is already very sunny."

Xu Lingyue felt embarrassed for once, because she had never read the original version of this book seriously.

I picked it up and wanted to chew it several times, but was discouraged by the complicated settings of the three religions combined into one.

As a lazy woman, I only want to read relatively simple novels.

After pondering for a while, Xu Lingyue frowned slightly and said, "That's not what I'm worried about. I'm afraid... your setting framework involves too many religious elements, and they are all dark. Will there be any accidents?"

This time, Zhou Hao finally understood.

My daughter-in-law's sense of crisis is indeed very keen. She could already sense the danger after just one glance at the outline.

The allusions to Buddhism in the original "Journey to the West" are almost hidden in every word. The CCTV version of "Journey to the West" is not so much an adaptation of the original work as it is a fan work based on the setting framework, and many things have been changed.

If we really want to film it according to the original novel, I guess it won’t pass the review at all…

Now "Black Myth" has to face the same problem - once the game is released, it will inevitably be protested or even boycotted by religious forces.

Because the intensity of the allusions in "Black Myth" is almost consistent with the original work.

Just use your toes to imagine how those business wizards in monk's robes would jump up and down...

But fortunately, the trajectory of the original time and space has already given the correct answer - as long as you have united front value, no evil spirits can do anything to you!

Since the first day of the release of Black Myth, doubts and controversies have been lurking beneath the applause and expectations. It is easy to imagine how much pressure a film like this would have to bear when it suddenly appeared in the barren land of China.

The ridicule and sarcasm from netizens, the mockery and sarcasm from people in the circle, the poaching from peers, and the most direct pressure - development funds.

Under such heavy pressure, how did the developer gradually grow from a small workshop to a new 3A force that has attracted global attention?
The answer is actually just four words - united front values.

In China, due to the huge attention overseas, it has the possibility of cultural export... It just happens to coincide with the time when China needs to establish cultural confidence, so all problems are no longer problems.

What fabricated stuff, what electronic heroin, what waste of time, what copyright difficulties... those are not a big deal, the leaders of the Ministry of Culture personally endorse and support them!

Overseas, Black Monkey was born at a time when ZZZQ was rampant. Characters in various games were distorted into freaks for no reason. Black Monkey, who refused to bow to evil forces, gained another layer of united front value overseas...

With the support of many forces, this game is so popular that it can kill any god or Buddha!
Of course, there are many coincidences in which heroes are created by the times, and it is impossible to replicate them 100%, but at least some of them can be manipulated artificially.

For example, the most basic point is overseas influence.

As long as we have this layer of BUFF and the ability to export culture, the noise in the country will be completely irrelevant.

Therefore, the first promotional video must be shocking enough.

Regardless of the cost, we must make those foreigners drop their jaws!
And the time point he set for this link is six months.

Within six months, we must produce the first promotional video and start attracting investment.

He and Xu Lingyue might be able to raise 300 million yuan by selling everything they had, but there was no need to do so.

Unless there are any accidents, this game is bound to be a huge hit, and there will be a lot of people who are jealous of it.

Tie up a few more allies with you so that you won’t become the target of public criticism.

Just when Zhou Hao was concentrating on working hard, someone from Youying contacted him again.

"Director Zhou, can you make another online movie before the summer season?"

Zhou Hao was completely speechless. Where was the time?
Without saying anything, I just pushed it.

However, the other party had no intention of hanging up the phone and instead started to increase the stakes.

"15 million guaranteed salary, plus % profit share. You get to decide the cast. Would you consider it?"

This offer frightened Zhou Hao.

What is Youying doing?
are you crazy? !

Have money but nowhere to spend it?
Faced with such an offer, Zhou Hao was too embarrassed to refuse for a moment and could only respond ambiguously, "I'll think about it."

In the past, he might have just rejected it, but now... with the addition of Black Monkey as a financial hole, the pressure to make money suddenly increased.

Anyway, it’s just an online movie. It probably won’t take much time. If you squeeze in, you’ll get it.

Moreover, it is during the summer vacation, and if it is arranged properly, it should not conflict with the National Day compilation.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Zhou Hao finally understood why Youying went crazy.

Because Kiwi, one of the top three streaming media companies, officially invited him to join.

And the price they offered... made him dizzy!
