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

Chapter 569 Saving the country through curves
When darkness falls in the east, there is always light in the west. The "Wulin Waijia" is stuck, but there is good news from Naughty Cat - Penguin has officially decided to join the "Black Myth" project.

Not only did it take in an investment of 100 million yuan, it also took on the technical support work... After all, big companies can lack everything except money and people.

Several internal teams are almost overflowing with staff, and many new employees can only sit on the bench and get a guaranteed salary. Performance bonuses and dividends are just good things that can only be imagined in dreams.

Nowadays, almost everyone is rushing to sign up to be sent out to work... If there is work to do, there will be extra income, which is a good thing!

With the official joining of Penguin, the backbone team of "Black Myth" has officially taken shape.

Tang Yong was also not idle. He had already started forming a team to plan a promotional video.

The task Zhou Hao set for them was to become an instant hit, which was quite stressful for Tang Yong since this was their first time working on such a large-scale work.

But this pressure is also motivation. After all, making 3A games has always been their dream... The reason why Naughty Cat was on the verge of disbanding was largely due to this unrealistic dream.

Now that all the conditions are ripe, the chance to pursue my dream is right in front of me... In Tang Yong's own words - as long as I can make this game, I will be happy even if I have to work overtime every day!
As for the infringement lawsuit with Mingwuju, it has been completely taken over by Penguin's legal team. Zhou Hao is basically 120% relieved about the subsequent outcome.

One of the strongest legal teams in the Eastern Hemisphere, Nanshan Pizza Hut...beating Mingwuju is basically like a piece of cake.

What's more, Mingwuju is not in the right, it's basically a complete crushing situation.

As for Zhou Hao, after delivering the script of Black Myth, he doesn’t need to worry about the following matters for the time being. When he needs to pay attention to this project next time, it will basically be when the entire game begins to take shape.

His main task now is to deal with the affairs of "Wulin Waijiao".

It is indeed a bit troublesome if Youying does not give any leeway, after all, the channel is in its hands.

If you want to jump out and cooperate with other streaming platforms, it is basically equivalent to breaking up with Youying, and what's even worse is that... the three major streaming platforms are basically in the same boat in this regard, and the other two may not accept "Wulin Waijia".

After thinking for a long time, Zhou Hao finally came up with a roundabout way to save the country - break away from the thinking of streaming media channels and directly seek cooperation with traditional satellite stations!

The cooperation terms between him and Youying nominally only restricted the exclusive agreement with streaming media platforms, and did not block the cooperation path of traditional TV stations... After all, this field is full of gods and Buddhas and is unfathomable, and Youying dare not completely block the road.

It’s just that Zhou Hao and Youying were still in their honeymoon period, so Zhou Hao would not consider taking advantage of this loophole.

He would not break this tacit "gentleman's agreement" unless it was absolutely necessary, but now...

It's you who are causing trouble, so don't blame me!
Zhou Hao’s choice was also very clear - Henan Satellite TV.

"China's Treasures", which was broadcast at the end of last year, became an instant hit and directly became a ratings dark horse. When the ratings were at their peak at the beginning of the year, it was almost able to beat all variety shows except CCTV!
Not only did the program have astonishing ratings on Henan Southern TV, but it also created a secondary storm after it landed on Station A, with on-demand volume and popularity remaining high.

The songs Zhou Hao wrote for the show have become the new "treasures of the station" on Bilibili, and popular material for many UP hosts to create secondary works...

Just one month after landing on A站, it broke a series of records and became the most successful signing of A站 in the past three years!
The first season was so successful that the second season would not be absent. The original crew of the program has already started preparations. In addition, the Chinese-style Spring Festival Gala has won the reputation of various channels and received rave reviews.

Coupled with the "contrast" of various large and small peers, the ratings and reputation of this Spring Festival Gala continue to rise. Various high-imitation and secondary creation programs have also begun to appear on Station A to take advantage of the popularity and traffic of this Spring Festival Gala.

Henan Southern Satellite TV, which originally had little presence in the entire satellite TV circle, became the "top stream" satellite TV station overnight because of these two programs. The attention and the average ratings of the entire station were greatly boosted. It is said that all the leaders of the entire Henan Southern Radio and Television Center were smiling from ear to ear. During the New Year, there were commendations and rewards, and it was a very festive occasion.

The one thing these two hit shows have in common is that they were all planned by Zhou Hao!

He only contributed ideas for a few programs in that Spring Festival Gala, but "Treasures of China" was completely planned by him!
Therefore, Zhou Hao’s status at Henan Satellite TV right now is extremely high!
As long as you open your mouth, your success rate will definitely be high!
The fact was just as he thought. When he contacted Henan Southern TV, he immediately received a positive response - the head of the purchasing department of Henan Southern TV called him back personally!
After understanding the general situation, Ms. Liu from the purchasing department took leave without saying a word and flew to Shanghai to meet Zhou Hao in person.

No matter whether the deal can be reached in the end, the sincerity alone makes people feel comfortable.

The other party was very sincere, so Zhou Hao naturally would not be perfunctory. He not only prepared a detailed script and plan, but also asked Xu Xiao to accompany him.

Xu Xiao herself certainly didn’t have much weight, but the Su Ma behind her had a high status in the traditional circle. As someone who was also in the system, Sister Liu knew very well what the future potential of Professor Su was…

Even if it was just to save face, she had to consider the feasibility of the project herself.

It took her a full two hours to finish reading the rough outline of the script.

To be honest, she was not very optimistic about this unpopular project either, as sitcoms have long lost their market.

But... there are so many BUFFs behind this project that are enough to offset this small problem.

Besides, the cost of this project is not high to begin with, and the final purchase price will certainly not be that expensive. If a "back door" is really opened, the station probably won't say anything.

After all, I still owe Zhou Hao two huge favors!

After calling to ask for the opinions of the station leaders, she immediately reached a verbal agreement with Zhou Hao - in principle, she agreed to purchase "Wulin Waijia", and the specific purchase price and contract terms would be discussed at a later date!

In theory, this process is not very "standardized" because nowadays TV stations basically watch sample films before making a decision. Projects like "Wulin Waijia" that are sold right after the script is handed over can only be found in countries with a screenwriter-centered system.

In a sense, this can also be considered a kind of "special handling of special matters".

Zhou Hao also knew what was going on. While heaving a sigh of relief, he also made a solemn promise.

"Don't worry, Director Liu. This film will definitely become one of your most outstanding achievements!"
