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

Chapter 52 Father's Pride

The location chosen by Peter Lam was a private restaurant. The location was a bit remote, but the environment was very good.

After taking two bites of the dish, Zhou Hao understood why Lin Xina was so greedy. It tasted really good.

Director Liu Wei was also present at the meal, which was considered a director-screenwriter connection organized by Peter Lam.

The screenwriter and director are generally integrated into one. If the two can cooperate sincerely, the work will generally be good.

If neither of these two is willing to give in to the other... unless the director is extremely capable and can take on the responsibility alone, there is a good chance that the show will be a failure.

The poet Chen on Earth, when he was obedient and respectful of the script in the early stages, was able to create a classic like "Farewell My Concubine".

But after winning a few awards, he started to get cocky and started playing with his own scripts… and then the things he produced started to become lumps.

Drinking was inevitable in such occasions. Fortunately, Peter Lam and Liu Wei had no intention of forcing us to drink, so we just drank a few glasses and that was it.

After the meal, Zhou Hao discovered that Director Liu was actually quite easy to talk to outside the set and had basically no airs.

During the dinner, he kept praising the script of "Day and Night" as interesting, and he almost felt a little embarrassed by the praise.

After returning to the hotel with a good meal and a few drinks, Zhou Hao washed his face and started typing.

The key to writing online articles is persistence. No matter what the reason is, it is easy to form inertia if you stop for one day.

After his memory was strengthened again, the difficulty of copying texts has been greatly reduced, and now it is his hand speed that restricts his typing speed.

After being single for only 27 years, my hands are no longer able to keep up with the speed of my brain’s memory.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, the ten thousand-word task was completed. Zhou Hao got up, stretched his shoulders, back and cervical spine, washed up and went to bed.

Before falling asleep, he called up the subsystem course again.

After the lesson learned that afternoon, he didn’t dare to waste time anymore and started training honestly from the one-star difficulty.

Compared to the terrible class in the afternoon, this one-star course is much more friendly - all you have to do is wear two layers of thick ancient costumes and stand in the scorching sun for an hour.

But you cannot move during this period, otherwise it will be considered a failure.

Just stand. At least this course doesn’t have much technical difficulty. Just grit your teeth and persevere.

In less than ten minutes, Zhou Hao felt a little overwhelmed.

I felt that the temperature on the scene was almost 35°C. It was too hot to be exposed outside in short sleeves, not to mention that he was wearing two sets of costumes.

That was really tormenting...

Sweat began to drip down my forehead, my eyes were almost blurry and I couldn't open them, and there were all kinds of mosquito bites on my face and neck, but I couldn't move...

The nightmare I experienced during military training has come back to me again.

Half an hour later, Zhou Hao, exhausted, saw white spots in front of his eyes and fell down.

"Failed to pass the level." A cold system voice sounded, "Do you want to try again?"

Damn, this score is not easy to get!
After pausing for a while, Zhou Hao chose to continue.

This time, he lasted for forty minutes before collapsing from heat stroke.

Come again!

Forty-five minutes, down.

Come again!

When I persisted to the fifth time, I finally gritted my teeth and held on until the countdown reached zero.

puff.

His waist and abdomen relaxed and he slumped to the ground. When he opened his mouth, he felt like fire was coming out of his throat.

"Course performance is being evaluated, please wait..."

"The overall evaluation score is A-. The course reward is being settled. Please wait..."

"All acting skills are increased by +1, and 3 acting points are obtained (you can allocate points as you wish)."

Not bad, not bad, all my work was not in vain!

But when he looked back at the numerous eye-catching sub-item scores, Zhou Hao was a little overwhelmed.

Which one should I add?

I've been thinking about it for a long time but still don't know where to start. I'll just save it up first and see how the situation develops later!

Back to the attribute panel, the acting score has reached 37.

The road is long and difficult...

It’s still early, let’s try again, aim for S!

After going through it several times, he found that the course projects he entered were different each time.

In addition to "standing at attention", there are also activities like wading in the river in the middle of winter, doing push-ups in the mud, etc... After going back and forth several times, I accumulated 12 skill points, a great harvest!
However, when I was having fun, the system suddenly prompted me that the reward for one-star courses had reached its limit.

Zhou Hao then reluctantly exited the system.

go to bed.

I woke up on time at eight o'clock the next day.

I got up and stretched, feeling full of energy and not tired at all.

"It seems that this special training in the dream does not interfere with normal sleep and rest. That's good."

I can get 12 points in one night. As long as I can keep up this pace, by the time the filming of "Day and Night" starts, I should be able to pass, right?
After breakfast, he received a call from his mother Li Guiqin informing him that his father Zhou Jianhua had returned home.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Hao's mind flashed with the information about that cheap dad.

Among the memories left by the original body, the most profound impression of this father was - strict.

From being a person to doing things to studying, Zhou Jianhua was very strict with his son, even to the point of being harsh.

The sentence he most often said to his son was: I don’t expect you to become successful and rich when you grow up, I just want you to live an upright life and be a useful person.

When the original person applied to go to teach in rural areas, his mother Li Guiqin was actually strongly opposed, fearing that her son would suffer. It was Zhou Jianhua's strong support that enabled him to go.

Li Guiqin hadn't been home for six years, and during that time she would complain constantly on the phone, but Zhou Jianhua only encouraged her.

In his eyes, this cause is great and meaningful.

But now... Zhou Hao took the initiative to give up the profession of teacher, which made him feel a little uneasy.

Will I be scolded when I go back?
Before leaving, he still greeted his host, Peter Lam.

Without saying a word, Peter Lam asked his driver to take him to the station. When he got off the car, the driver stuffed two boxes of tea into his hands, saying that they were gifts from Mr. Lam.

Zhou Hao was too lazy to be hypocritical and polite, so he accepted it after thanking him.

Two boxes of tea are nothing to a boss like that. He might as well give him some local specialties from his hometown as a gift.

When I got home, it was time for dinner.

"Have you eaten?" Li Guiqin put down her chopsticks and came forward.

Zhou Hao shook his head and looked at the man behind the dining table.

He has grown old, and there are obviously many white hairs on the temples of his crew cut.

His skin was tanned and red, as if it had been fished out of a soy sauce jar.

The striped sailor shirt he was wearing had faded a little due to washing, making his skin look even darker.

But those eyes were still sharp, and they sparkled with brilliance whenever they looked up.

Zhou Hao put down his luggage and called out "Dad" somewhat stiffly.

Zhou Jianhua looked at him suspiciously, then nodded: "Let's eat."

By the time Zhou Hao put his things down, washed his hands and sat down, Zhou Jianhua had already finished his meal and was ready to get up.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Li Guiqin asked hurriedly, "My son just sat down, where are you going?"

"Buy some food to take on board in the evening."

"With such a short time, the market is going to be emptied, right?"

“It’s too late and the food is not fresh.”

"Zhou Jianhua, you did this on purpose, didn't you? Your son hasn't come back for six years, so you can't..."

"Mom, mom." Zhou Hao quickly suppressed his mother's rising anger and turned to say, "Dad, why don't you quit this job? Now I can support the family, and you don't have to work so hard."

Zhou Jianhua looked at his son silently, with a ripple in his eyes, but he immediately regained his calm.

"I'm not at the point where I need to be fed by others. Keep the money you earn for yourself."

After saying that, he picked up the dishes, washed them, put on his shoes, opened the door and left.

Zhou Hao was stunned, "Mom, did I say something wrong?"

Li Guiqin shook her head speechlessly, "You two really have the same temper."

Zhou Hao:?
"What are you looking at? Did I say anything wrong?" Li Guiqin said unhappily, "When I wanted to introduce you to a girl from a wealthy family, didn't you also have a nose that wasn't a nose and eyes that weren't eyes?"

"Your father is the same. He is proud and doesn't want to suck your blood as long as he can still make money."

Zhou Hao put a piece of beef into his mouth and remained silent.

Just when I was feeling a little touched, the door suddenly opened and Zhou Jianhua came back.

"Zhou Jingyuan, come out. I have something to ask you."
