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

Chapter 67 If you dare to say it, I dare to believe it!

Even when he got on the car to Shanghai, Zhou Hao still felt a little dizzy.

Fortunately, Xu Lingyue’s big jeep had a good space. She put the chair aside and half-lying on it, with a pair of headphones in her ears, feeling comfortable.

The song playing in the headphones was still Xu Lingyue's song, but it was no longer "Red Bean".

He repeatedly compared Xu Lingyue's early and later songs, trying to find out the differences.

The first three albums were all high-quality masterpieces, but the quality of the later ones began to decline until the current creative bottleneck...

Zhou Hao’s absolute musical quality may not be that great, but there are some things that only those involved can see clearly, and the perspective of a bystander can sometimes be very insightful.

If possible, he really hopes to help Xu Lingyue find the problem and get back on track. Such a talented singer should not die like this.

If the Chinese music scene in the future is filled with audio-editing warriors like Yang Yan... it's sad to think about it.

After thinking it over carefully for nearly two hours, the doubts in Zhou Hao's mind began to gradually dissipate and he probably knew where the problem lay.

He glanced at Xu Lingyue who was concentrating on driving and sighed quietly.

It's useless to just know the problem, there's no way to explain it.

Zhou Hao, a writer, what do you know about music?
You have to put on a vest.

After driving for more than two hours, the car entered the territory of Mingzhu Film and Television Park.

In terms of scale, this film and television base is not even among the top five in the country, but this base has its own irreplaceable characteristics - the Pearl Beach in the style of the Republic of China.

From the architectural style to the street scenes and the clothing of the extras, almost everything is reproduced one-to-one. If any crew wants to shoot a drama in the style of the Republic of China, just choose this place.

There are many hotels and inns around the base, with different consumption levels corresponding to different levels of practitioners. The crew of "Day and Night Chase" chose a four-star hotel in a remote area. It is clean, tidy and quiet, but there is not much "fun" around it.

The crew's working style can be seen from the details. They are indeed a group of people who get things done.

After all, "Day and Night Chase" was not filmed here. It was just a simple gathering and training for a period of time. During this period, what was needed was to concentrate on polishing the script and understanding the role. Any unnecessary glitz would be a distraction.

As the car drove into the hotel square, we saw Lin Xina, wearing a tennis skirt, standing outside the gate from a distance. The hem of her skirt fluttered in the midsummer breeze, like a small lily with dewdrops on it.

Seeing the iconic red jeep, she immediately trotted out with her hands covering her forehead.

After Xu Lingyue parked the car and opened the door, she said excitedly, "Sister, why are you so slow? I've been waiting for you..."

Before he could finish his words, a man opened the door of the passenger seat and walked down.

Um?
Um? ! !
"Writer Zhou?!" She looked back and forth between the two of them and said with a strange expression, "Sister, you two..."

Xu Lingyue casually handed the key to the doorman who came over and said, "I want to say that I just dropped him off on the way. Do you believe me?"

?

You are in Linhang and he lives in Zhouhai. It’s a several hours’ drive round trip. Is it on your way?

Lin Xina nodded seriously, "If you dare to say it, I dare to believe it!"

"Forget it." Xu Lingyue rolled her eyes. "Since you're here, help me move the things."

"No, no." Zhou Hao said hurriedly: "I can handle this stuff myself."

Xu Lingyue didn't say anything, she just opened the trunk and took out the barrel of tightly packed snake wine.

"Wait a minute." Lin Xina came over immediately, her eyes burning with gossip, "If I'm not mistaken, this wine seems to belong to Grandpa Ye?"

"Good memory." Xu Lingyue said calmly.

Glancing at Zhou Hao who had a strange expression on his face, Lin Xina kept saying "oh" with her mouth and nodded with a smile.

By the way?

By the way, you've already met the parents, right?

After moving all the things, Lin Xina trotted to Zhou Hao dragging a small suitcase and squeezed his arm with her shoulder.

"Sure, screenwriter Zhou, real people don't show their faces!"

Zhou Hao was speechless, "It's not what you think."

"No need to explain." Lin Xina smiled, "I understand."

I don’t understand you!
This girl will most likely be a love-brained person in the future!
The crew had already reserved a room for him, and after confirming his identity information, he directly received a card and checked in.

The room was a standard single room, with everything it needed, good lighting and ventilation, clean and comfortable. After putting down his luggage, Zhou Hao followed Lin Xina to the meeting room upstairs to formally report to Director Liu Wei.

On the way, Lin Xina came over quietly and said, "Director Liu may not be in a good mood these two days. Be careful when you speak later. If you get scolded, try to endure it. The more you talk back to him, the more he will scold you."

Ok?
Last time when we were having dinner together, I felt that Director Liu was quite easy to talk to outside the play?
"What happened?"

Lin Xina looked around cautiously, and after confirming that there was no third ear nearby, she whispered, "The one who was originally scheduled to play Zhou Xun may have to quit!"

Zhou Hao's eyelids twitched.

The crew has already entered the early training stage. It would be a bit unkind to quit at this time, which will directly disrupt all the preparations of the entire crew.

No wonder Director Liu got angry.

"What's the reason?" Zhou Hao asked.

"Just making trouble." Lin Xina pouted and said, "On the surface, they said that he had too few scenes. They said that this drama should be a two-hero film, and Zhou Xun's scenes should be increased. They asked for the script to be changed!"

"But in fact, everyone knows that they complain that the pay is too low. Once the role is increased, won't there be a reason to raise the pay?"

Zhou Hao laughed when he heard this.

A two-hero film?
Guess why the title of this drama is "Day and Night Chase"?
It is true that Zhou Xun’s role is very important, but it is not to the point where he can overshadow the main character!

Change the script?
Little cabinet minister: Change the fucking head.gif!

"Didn't you do any research when casting?" Zhou Hao frowned and asked, "Why did you choose such a person?"

"Actually... Mr. Tang is quite nice. He has worked with Director Liu several times before and everything went smoothly."

Lin Xina whispered, "But now that he's a little popular, the agency has started to treat him as a cash cow... Do you understand? He's in a difficult position now."

I understand, a pure puppet artist, a sickle in the hands of capital.

This situation is not uncommon. They bring in a screenwriter to forcibly add the first role, and then step on the original first role to promote it, raising the star's status while satisfying the fans' vanity...

As for whether such changes will ruin the work, they don't care at all.

All they care about is the money in their fans' pockets.

This is how the ecological environment of the circle was destroyed.

The two walked and talked until they arrived at the door of the meeting room.

Before I even raised my hand to knock on the door, I heard Director Liu's angry shout from inside.

"You keep saying you changed the script. Who do you think you are? Did you win the Best Actor or Best Actor award? Why are you putting on airs in front of me?"

"How about you, Tang Lei, play the leading male role, and let Actor Zhang play your supporting role, and then I'll hand over the directorship to you, and you can just shoot it for fun?!"

"Director Liu, that's not what we meant..."

Bang!
The sound of slamming the table startled Zhou Hao.

"Then what do you mean?! You didn't tell me when we first approached you, but you chose to tell me now. What do you want to do? And you're talking about guaranteed ratings. Who are you trying to fool?!"

"There are tens of thousands of actors in the entertainment industry, and you, Tang Lei, are not the only one who can play this role. Goodbye!"

Zhou Hao was just about to raise his hand to knock on the door when it suddenly opened and a group of people with grim faces filed out.

Surrounded in the center like the moon around the stars is a male star wearing a slim-fitting suit. He looks to be around 30 years old and quite handsome.

Next to him was a fat, big-eared man, who was cursing and muttering to himself. He must be his agent.

Seeing Zhou Hao at the door, the fat man stopped and looked him up and down, "Are you the screenwriter?"

This condescending tone made Zhou Hao frown unconsciously.

"It's well written." The fat man nodded arrogantly, "Come to the teahouse later and we'll talk about customizing the book."

As he said this, he handed over a business card, and without waiting for Zhou Hao to answer, he left with his team.

Zhou Hao was stunned for a few seconds, then he crumpled up the business card and threw it into the trash can.

What the fuck?

Do you think I'm the kind of screenwriter who begs for food on his knees?
