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

Chapter 536 What I Want to Do Is Not a Scythe to Cut Leeks
After staying in Siyuan Village for two days and three nights, Zhou Hao and Xu Lingyue drove away with the farewell of the villagers, young and old.

After the car drove away for a long distance, you could still see a few naughty kids waving and chasing the car, shouting loudly, "Goodbye, Teacher Zhou" and "Goodbye, Teacher Xu".

Xu Lingyue was not a sentimental person, but she couldn't help but tear up at this moment.

It was not until the children's figures completely disappeared in the rearview mirror that her emotions gradually stabilized.

"Let's come here once a year from now on." Xu Lingyue suddenly said, "This place is very meaningful to you and me."

"Okay." Zhou Hao smiled and said, "I had this plan."

After returning to the studio, the two of them immediately started working without taking a break.

The first task facing Zhou Hao was to edit the short film.

The film itself is not long, and the narrative technique is not complicated...there is no intention to show off.

Therefore, the editing work of the entire film is actually not that large. In comparison, the workload of post-production special effects is relatively large.

After all, it is a suspense horror film, so the frequency of visual effects and sound effects is quite high.

For Zhou Hao, who had never played with horror special effects, this was a special opportunity.

He did not ask others to do the work, but studied and operated seriously... He regarded this as an internship opportunity.

After all, it won’t be long before the film and television adaptation of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" will be put on the agenda, and it might be too late to learn it by then.

While he was busy with post-production, the reply from Penguin Games finally came.

"The other party wants to go to Naughty Cat to see it in person." Zhang Hong said: "The people who came from the other side are of high level. I am not qualified to talk to them. You'd better meet them in person."

Zhou Hao agreed immediately without saying a word.

After all, this game is very important to him. After finally putting aside the old grudges and accepting the olive branch of Penguin Games, he still has to be careful.

The next day, Penguin Games' team flew to Shanghai.

Although he already knew that the other party was of high rank, Zhou Hao was still shocked when he met him face to face at the airport.

Penguin Games' CEO Chen Shaojie personally led the team here!
"Teacher Zhou, I've heard of your name for a long time." Chen Shaojie is nearly fifty years old, but he has maintained a very good figure. He looks as if he is just around forty, dressed like a typical successful person.

"I used to watch your dramas every day, but I didn't expect that you would also be involved in the gaming industry. I am very surprised."

Zhou Hao smiled awkwardly, "I am a mean person. I am not content to stay in my comfort zone. I like to challenge new things."

Chen Shaojie clapped and laughed, then turned around and said to his young followers, "Listen up, don't just wallow in your comfort zone all day long!"

Several followers nodded in agreement, but they smiled bitterly in their hearts.

It's unfair for him to take the blame!
It is you executives who like to lie in your comfort zone and live off your past achievements, and it is also you who are unwilling to take risks in innovation... What does it have to do with us?
But you can only think about this in your heart. If you dare to say it out loud, you can just write your resignation.

After exchanging pleasantries, Zhou Hao, as the host, brought a few people to a private restaurant. The appearance was not very good, but the advantage was the quiet environment and delicious food, which was a good place to talk about things.

In such occasions, drinking is inevitable. Zhou Hao was not vague and directly called Tang Yong over.

I'll do the talking and you go drink!
After three rounds of drinks, the topic gradually got on track.

"Mr. Zhou, I have already researched the two games you released before I came here. They are both amazing works." Chen Shaojie said with a smile, "Especially this Stardew Valley. Even my little daughter has become a loyal player. She plays it for a while every day after school. She gets angry if I don't let her play." Zhou Hao laughed, "Mr. Chen is quite open-minded. Most parents won't let their children play games."

"Times have changed." Chen Shaojie shook his head and sighed, "Let her play some healthy games, it's better than watching those filthy short videos, that's what's harmful."

Zhou Hao nodded with empathy. This was absolutely true.

Due to differences in cognitive abilities, children and the elderly have a very poor ability to distinguish the authenticity of short video content.

After living in Daliu Village for a month, he witnessed with his own eyes how those old men and women were fooled by short videos.

All kinds of unofficial news sources, coupled with the sanctimonious live broadcast background, immediately became the "official news" in their mouths, and then all kinds of rumors were spread to spread anxiety...

Some of the content is so outrageous that it is simply an insult to one's intelligence.

But these elderly people just believe it... No wonder the scam of elderly health products cannot be eradicated, it is too easy to deceive.

"I have a question, and I'd like to hear the answers from Mr. Zhou and Mr. Tang in person." Chen Shaojie said with a smile, "Your first two games are examples of small investments and high returns. You can obviously make a lot of money by continuing on this path. Why do you suddenly want to change track and make 3A games?"

Zhou Hao laughed, "If I say that my dream is to promote our country's cultural treasures overseas through games, would you believe me?"

Chen Shaojie laughed loudly, "If anyone else said this, I would definitely not believe it, but if you, Teacher Zhou, said this, I would 100% believe it."

"Oh?" Zhou Hao was a little surprised.

"Don't doubt it, I'm serious." Chen Shaojie sighed and said, "Anyone who has watched the Spring Festival Gala on Henan Satellite TV before will know what kind of person you are."

"Among ten people who shout 'revive Chinese culture', at least eight are just hyping up a concept to attract traffic and make money, and you may be the only one who truly practices the slogan."

"You may not know that because of the song "New Drunken Concubine", Chinese opera style has begun to break through the circle and become popular in the gaming industry. Several games here have already launched skin packs with opera style..."

This news made Zhou Hao dumbfounded.

You are worthy of it, penguin!

Can this also produce paid content?

So that song has become so popular?
I've been busy running around lately and haven't really paid attention to it!

"I am personally very optimistic about your project, but you also know that I don't have the final say in the company. I am here only as a representative."

Chen Shaojie took a sip of Maotai and said with a smile: "So there are some questions that I still have to convey to you in person."

Zhou Hao nodded, "Please go ahead, Mr. Chen."

"First question." Chen Shaojie got straight to the point: "Can your game be embedded with an in-app purchase framework?"

Tang Yong, who was standing by, had his eyelids twitching wildly.

Wow, you zoom in right at the beginning, right?
If in-app purchases are added, can this game still be played?
Zhou Hao was not vague at all and put down his chopsticks directly.

"Mr. Chen, I hope you understand one thing - what I am going to make this time is not a sickle to cut leeks, but a big ship that can carry culture to the sea!"
