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

Chapter 617 If you are not jealous, you are mediocre

This was not the first time that Zhou Hao had received an olive branch from the Sixth Princess. He had appeared on the "Light and Shadow Star Podcast" once before.

However, the situation this time was somewhat outrageous - the movie was still being shown in theaters, but the Sixth Princess was so impatient to send out an invitation, which also indirectly proved how amazing the performance of "Poetry" was in the market.

As the leading actress, Su Man was naturally also invited.

For her, this was almost like going home to visit relatives, and there was no surprise at all.

With her company, Zhou Hao felt much more at ease.

The only thing that worried him was that this was a compilation movie, but the Sixth Princess invited him alone... Would there be any unexpected troubles?
"You think too much." Su Man dispelled his doubts with just one sentence, "Don't you think about who the Sixth Princess's direct agency is under? Why do they have to look at the faces of those directors when they do things? Give them ten times the courage and ask them if they dare to have any objections?"

"Besides, even if they really have opinions, so what? If they are not envied, they are mediocre. If they want to feel uncomfortable, then let them feel uncomfortable. It's their own fault for not living up to expectations."

Zhou Hao thought about it and it seemed to be true.

Whoever wants to break the defense can do it on their own. Anyway, he has made a lot of enemies since his debut, so one or two more won't make a difference.

"Instead of worrying about these trivial things, it is better to think carefully about how to deal with this assessment." Su Man said suddenly.

Zhou Hao was a little confused. "Assessment?"

Su Man sneered, "Do you really think that they asked you to come over just because of this movie?"

Zhou Hao immediately sat up straight, clasped his fists and bowed half-jokingly, "I'd like to hear more about it."

Su Man rolled her eyes at him and said slowly, "Since your debut... No, to be more precise, since your teacher Zhou's vest was exposed, your impression score has always been quite high."

"Whether it's your qualifications in poverty alleviation and teaching, or your later style of doing things that are both red and professional, they are all highly appreciated by the higher-ups. In the entertainment industry full of evildoers, you are a rare breath of fresh air."

"And you happen to have creative ability and the potential for cultural output... If you are a person with a career, would you be tempted by such a talent?"

This question does not need to be answered at all, because this is the direction Zhou Hao has been working towards.

"So this compilation film may be a simple task for other directors, but it actually has another purpose for you - assessment."

"Although you have demonstrated outstanding creative talent in other fields and do have a certain potential for cultural output, they are still unsure whether you can create mainstream content... Don't think this is unnecessary. It's not without precedent. Many directors can create wonderful films in other genres, but they immediately fall into many flaws when it comes to mainstream content."

Zhou Hao nodded, this situation was indeed not uncommon.

On the other side of the earth, there are several "big directors" who are incompatible with the main theme.

"As long as you pass this assessment, you will have basically crossed an invisible threshold. Your future ceiling will be much higher than those of ordinary commercial film directors... Do you understand what I mean?"

Zhou Hao nodded vigorously, his eyes shining.

For those purely commercial film directors, after the glory days, all they have left is money...and they may not even be able to keep that money.

You never know when you wake up one day to find that the assets you have worked so hard to transfer have been swallowed up by a forest fire.

However, for those artists who promote the value of united front work, the upper limit is completely different. Uncle Long is the best reference specimen.

If it weren't for a son who ruined everything, Uncle Long's ceiling would be even more astonishing.

Artists who follow this path, as long as they can make a name for themselves, will be honored as "artists" when they retire, and they can go to the annual conference to punch in and show their familiar faces. "And now, your "Poetry" has basically passed the test of the market and the audience, and it can be considered a critical and commercial success, and the first major question of the assessment has been passed."

"And the next interview is likely to be the second test question. There may be some very sharp questions at that time... You have to be mentally prepared in advance, so as not to be confused like a fool when asked."

Zhou Hao nodded, "Thank you for the reminder."

Su Man curled her lips, "I'm just guessing, it may not be true."

Zhou Hao chuckled and didn't refute, but he knew what was going on.

Considering this young lady's background, isn't she sure about this?
The old man in their family was able to get the answer to the topic of the tribute film a month in advance...

The information related to this interview might even be that the Sixth Princess asked Su Man to come to "Leak Secrets by Imperial Order".

It seems that this trip to Yanjing is not easy!

Besides being nervous, I am more excited.

After all, as long as we pass this hurdle, the plan of building a golden body will be half completed!
…………

On October 10, when Zhou Hao and Su Man arrived in Yanjing by plane, the box office battle of the Spring Festival had already entered the second half.

"Gunsmoke" has completely fallen behind and no one takes it seriously anymore.

The cumulative box office is 14.8 billion... It’s not a loss, but it also basically doesn’t make much money, and the word-of-mouth response is quite average.

Even if we put aside its commercial value, this film has no extra value to discuss and has been selectively forgotten by major media outlets.

The battle for the championship and runner-up has become increasingly obvious as time goes by.

The first-mover advantage of "The Founding of a Republic" is too obvious. Although the single-day viewing share was obviously affected by "Inheritance", it still maintained its basic market share with its excellent quality.

Even though the single-day box office has reached the 200 million range, it is still enough for it to sit firmly on the championship throne.

After ten days, the cumulative box office has reached 27.6 billion, just one step away from the billion mark.

Even in the era of box office explosion, 3 billion box office is still a very impressive number for the Chinese film industry, and it is even an astronomical figure for most directors.

Before this, there were only five Chinese-language films with box office revenue exceeding 3 billion!

And now, "The Founding of a Nation" is confirmed to be the sixth film.

Now, for this film, everyone is most concerned about only one thing - can it break the total box office record of film and television?
The current total box office record for the Chinese-language film industry is 51 billion, a record that was just set two years ago!

Although the gap is huge at the moment, but... "The Founding of a Nation" is 100% able to get the extension key. As long as the screening time is long enough, anything can happen!
What's more, the quality of the film itself is not bad. As long as the word of mouth does not collapse, the subsequent box office accumulation will still be considerable.

As for "Inheritance", everyone has only one expectation for it - to break 3 billion.

Two movies simultaneously breaking 3 billion in the same period will be an unprecedented record!
