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

Chapter 600: The Future Vision of Daliu Village
"Short play?"

Secretary Xu was confused. "What the hell is this? Is it a micro-movie?"

"No, it's shorter than a micro-movie." Zhou Hao said with a smile: "Each episode is no longer than fifteen minutes, and the fast-paced plot is used to arouse the audience's emotions, thereby boosting the ratings..."

"Stop, stop, stop. Don't tell me these technical things. I don't understand them either." Secretary Xu frowned and said, "Just tell me directly, does this thing have a future?"

"Yes, and the market will be huge." Zhou Hao pointed to the Douyin app on his phone, "Secretary Xu, do you know why this thing can stand out from the domestic short video platforms?"

Secretary Xu stood up and personally refilled Zhou Hao's cup of tea. "I'd like to hear more details."

"There are many superficial reasons. I can't say much about things related to commercial competition, but the deepest reason is that the country's development is sufficient and the infrastructure work is complete. This is inseparable from the contributions of grassroots cadres like Secretary Xu."

Secretary Xu smiled and waved his hands repeatedly as the sedan chair was carried by people. "It's my duty. We are serving the people."

"This is not flattery, but the truth." Zhou Hao said seriously, "It is precisely because of the popularization of infrastructure that mobile Internet devices and network signals can be deployed in thousands of households, which has laid the foundation for the booming development of the Internet economy."

"The reason why this short video platform was able to break free from the blockade of the streaming media giants and carve out a path forward is actually due to three words: down-to-earth."

Secretary Xu frowned and digested it for a moment, then nodded: "Continue."

"Why is the entertainment industry becoming less and less popular these days? The fundamental problem is that the increasingly superficial creative ideas of those star directors run counter to the spiritual needs of ordinary people, and the rift between the two sides is getting bigger and bigger..."

"I know that." Secretary Xu laughed. "I've read your previous criticisms of your peers. They really hit the nail on the head!"

"A great man once said that artistic creation must come from the masses and go to the masses. I guess those celebrities and artists have already thrown these words into the stinking gutter."

Zhou Hao nodded. "It is precisely because of this that these short videos have the opportunity to emerge... The content here is mixed, most of which are of low quality, and some are even vulgar, but it has been proven that people in the lower-tier markets like these things very much."

"Because the content is down-to-earth, many of them are reenactments of the little things around them, which is much more interesting than those movies and TV shows that are off-base and full of moaning."

Secretary Xu understood a little bit, "So you mean, this so-called skit... is also in this direction?"

"It's about the same." Zhou Hao nodded and said, "Anyway, they are all entertainment products that actively cater to the grassroots audience. They can't be put on the stage, but the market prospects may be very amazing."

Secretary Xu rubbed his hands, his eyes sparkling with brilliance.

If we can really boost the development of Daliu Village and make it a film and television base for short dramas... that would be a great achievement!
"But Secretary Xu, I have something to tell you first." Zhou Hao whispered, "Short plays are actually highly fast-food products that do not have any cultural value and may even be questioned and criticized..."

Secretary Xu was stunned for a moment, then nodded after thinking for a moment, "I understand."

After a while, he changed the subject and asked, "So, you don't plan to do this yourself, right?"

Zhou Hao smiled awkwardly, "How can I have the energy to do this?"

Secretary Xu burst out laughing, with a joking look on his face.

Are you out of energy, kid?
It's obvious that he is just trying to protect his reputation!

But it is understandable. After all, he is a big director who has entered the mainstream stage. It is really inappropriate for him to do this kind of thing.

"But Secretary Xu, don't worry. If you think this route is suitable, I can help you make connections later." Zhou Hao quickly added.

"Okay, we'll have a meeting to discuss this later, and we'll also have to submit a report to the higher-ups to seek their opinions." Secretary Xu stood up and prepared to see the guest off. "I'll let you know as soon as there's any news." Zhou Hao stood up tactfully. "Okay. I won't bother you anymore."

Secretary Xu grabbed his hand and shook it vigorously a few times. "Whether it succeeds or not, I have to thank you on behalf of Daliu Village."

"What are you talking about?" Zhou Hao grinned, "I am also a member of Dalui Village!"

"Yes, yes, hahaha..."

Back at the Zhou family's old house, Xu Lingyue also began to ask about the skit. From what she said...

"Why, are you interested?" Zhou Hao asked with a smile.

Xu Lingyue nodded. "After my first experience last time, I feel that making movies is quite interesting."

"If you like it, I'll arrange some serious movies for you later, not skits." Zhou Hao said with a smile.

"Why?" Xu Lingyue looked puzzled.

"Because this thing attracts criticism." Zhou Hao sighed and said, "This track is not suitable for you. I advise you not to touch it."

"Okay." Xu Lingyue nodded, "I'll listen to you."

It’s good to have an obedient daughter-in-law.

After staying in their hometown for three days, Zhou Hao and Xu Lingyue returned to Shanghai.

Just after arriving at the studio, Xu Lingyue received a very important invitation - an invitation from the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.

It’s September, and it’s time to schedule the show!

If they were to choose a singer to perform this year, Xu Lingyue would definitely be a name that they couldn't avoid...

The album "As Wish" is so popular, even a little too popular.

The sales of more than 8 million copies are not even worth mentioning...

The most terrifying thing is that this album created a record that has never been seen before and may never be repeated in the future - it directly occupied the TOP10 of Penguin Music's Hot Songs Chart, making Penguin's Hot Songs Chart her personal album list!
Even though more than a month has passed, the entire Chinese music scene is still immersed in the fear of being shrouded by the devil...

Horrible, terrible.

The Spring Festival Gala will naturally not let go of such a talented singer who has his own traffic and popularity.

Moreover, the song "As Wish" is naturally suitable for the big stage. Combined with the special period of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, it is simply a tailor-made song!

What's more, Xu Lingyue has another identity - Zhou Hao's girlfriend.

Last year, the traditional Chinese style Spring Festival Gala on Henan Satellite TV caused quite a stir. Although CCTV didn't say anything, it more or less had some thoughts in its mind.

But because of Kong Lin, the relationship with Zhou Hao had become a bit strained, so it was a bit difficult to ask him to come back to help.

Then finding Xu Lingyue as a middleman is one of the best options!
