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

Chapter 549: The idiot with high expectations but poor skills

The award information of the College Student Film Festival did not cause any waves on the Internet.

Domestic film festivals are not very popular in the first place, let alone the Oscars, they can't even compare with the Golden Horse Awards or the Golden Image Awards... not to mention that this is just a college student film festival.

In the eyes of many people, this is just a low-end, fake award and they don’t even bother to report it.

And the award Zhou Hao received was a worthless award at a fake award ceremony, which was even less worthy of being reported...

The award was won quietly, and few outsiders knew about it except those who watched the live broadcast that night.

But Zhou Hao didn't care too much about this. Anyway, he didn't aim to become famous by winning trophies... If he wanted to, there would be few people in the domestic film industry who could stop him.

But this thing is meaningless. Many talented filmmakers have embarked on a distorted path of no return step by step because they have become obsessed with trophies.

From the very beginning, Zhou Hao set the psychological tone towards various awards - it would be better if I could get them, but it didn't matter if I didn't, I would just let nature take its course.

He has a clear idea in his mind. Most of the films he makes are commercial films. He keeps thinking about big awards every day... Unless he spends a lot of money and uses connections, there is basically no chance.

What famous film festivals look for are "depth of story" and "depth of characters". This kind of purely commercial film is not even a DER in the eyes of others.

This is the case with this College Student Film Festival, and the upcoming Academy Awards will probably be similar.

If it weren't for Chen Ailun's father's help and connections, there would be no way he would have been able to enter the award unit.

Mission accomplished, Zhou Hao directly booked a flight to go home the next day.

However, before leaving, he still paid a formal visit to Teacher Su Lei.

After all, Zhang Yunfeng almost said it directly - Su Ma is a big support, you can find a way to hug her!
Zhou Hao is certainly not stupid, he knows very well what this connection means.

The short-term effects may not be significant, but the long-term benefits will definitely be beyond imagination.

When the old lady sits in the Great Hall in the future... his success rate in competing for mainstream works will definitely increase, unlike now when he has to cautiously throw stones to test the waters.

The old lady was also very happy about Zhou Hao's uninvited visit.

Not only did he cook a table full of delicious dishes himself, he also called two of his most talented disciples.

One of them is called Xu Xiao, with long legs, thin waist and big frame, a typical northern beauty.

In the old lady's words, this girl was recruited according to the standards of a Da Qingyi at the time. She has outstanding professional skills and is a rare talent.

What really surprised Zhou Hao was the girl's Buddhist calmness.

In the four years at the Central Academy of Drama, this girl has not taken on any acting role except for some short commercials!

You have to know that these days, many art school students have already started to access resources before they even enter school, and by the time they graduate, many of them have already become "veteran actors" in terms of qualifications.

Although most of the movies they made are bad.

However, Xu Xiao was able to remain unmoved in this environment, and did not come out until his senior year, when he was about to graduate...

No wonder the old lady likes her. She is smart, pretty, has excellent grades, and is down-to-earth... Anyone who sees such a student would smile.

The other one is called Zhao Huajian, a name that carries a chivalrous air.

He looks just like his name, a handsome guy with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and a tough look.

This guy is not as obedient as Xu Xiao. When he was in his sophomore year, he started running around to film crews looking for opportunities during the holidays. However, he had no connections and could not get good resources. What's more, he was too ambitious and unwilling to humble himself...so it's a bit embarrassing now.

Although the old lady didn't say it explicitly, since the person she personally pulled out to show off must be the best of this session.

"Xiao Zhou, these two are the strongest soldiers I have." The old lady said with a smile: "Why don't you take them back and try it first?" Zhou Hao laughed when he heard it. This is too hasty. The script has not even been created in a new document!

As if seeing through Zhou Hao's difficulties, Xu Xiao smiled and said, "Teacher Zhou, if it really doesn't work, you can let us go to the set of "The Disguiser" as volunteers or something, and we will take care of our own food and accommodation."

Well, this girl is an expert.

It sounds nice, but who would really dare to use you as volunteers when you get there?

If I get the chance, I might even be able to play a cameo role or something...

Instinctively he wanted to refuse, but when he saw the old lady's eager eyes, he nodded and said, "Okay, you guys go stay in the crew for a while and get familiar with Liu Wei and the others, so that you can have some tacit understanding when you work together later."

"Thank you, Teacher Zhou." Xu Xiao said with a smile.

Zhao Huajian was a down-to-earth person. He asked directly, "Teacher Zhou, I heard that you are going to start an online movie in the first half of the year?"

"Xiao Zhao?!" The old lady raised her eyebrows, a little unhappy.

"It's okay." Zhou Hao waved his hand and said, "It's good to speak directly. I don't like beating around the bush... Yes, I plan to make another online movie in the first half of the year. At present, I plan to cooperate with Director Zhang Mo."

Ok?
Zhao Huajian and Xu Xiao's eyes lit up instantly.

Zhang Mo?

An alumnus of the Directing Department, he just shined at the awards ceremony last night!

They are very clear about the director's skills. As long as there is no external interference, it is more than enough for him to make a web movie!
Add to that the script by Mr. Zhou...it's hard for this movie not to be a hit!
Just as the two began to imagine the future eagerly, a bucket of cold water was poured on their heads.

"But the character setting of that film is not suitable for you."

Zhao Huajian immediately became anxious, "Teacher Zhou..."

"Don't worry." Zhou Hao interrupted immediately, "The main actors in that movie are all middle-aged people. Your age doesn't match... I have other plans for you."

"Is it that sitcom?" Xu Xiao asked in a low voice.

"Yes." Zhou Hao nodded, "So Teacher Su has already told you about this?"

Xu Xiao smiled and nodded, while Zhao Huajian beside him stopped talking.

It was obvious that he had no interest in this damn sitcom.

TV series are inferior to movies, and they are sitcoms that no one cares about anymore...

It would be a flop even if it was filmed!
Seeing his expression change, Zhou Hao couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

Damn, no wonder he couldn’t find any resources after two years of hard work... With such high expectations and poor skills, who would dare to hire him?
There are no more movies to shoot, yet you're still being picky.

Shabi!

Xu Xiao was much smarter. He smiled and asked, "Teacher Zhou, do you have a script? What role have you assigned to me?"

"I haven't put pen to paper yet, but I already have the framework in mind." Zhou Hao nodded and said, "The role assigned to you... is a female knight."

Xu Xiao laughed out loud, "This is good, it suits my temper!"

Looking at Xu Xiao, and then at Zhao Huajian standing beside her, the old lady couldn't help but sigh secretly.

They were all taught by her, so why is there such a big gap...
