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

Chapter 70: We must strike hard!

From a professional perspective, Guo Chen is definitely the perfect candidate to play Zhou Xun.

It even feels a bit like the luxury of using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

But if you really hire this person, you may face a series of unpredictable risks.

If a drama that has been filmed after so much effort is aborted for no reason, neither the investor Penguin nor the producer Shanhai Film and Television, nor all the main creators will be able to accept this result.

The trade-offs here require some courage.

At this difficult juncture, Liu Wei took out a cigarette out of habit, but when he saw Xu Lingyue opposite him, he quietly put it back.

"Xiao Zhou, what do you think?"

Zhou Hao already had the answer in his mind, but he still pretended to be tangled and twisted for a while, "I think... we can take a gamble."

"Hmm?" Several people looked over at the same time.

"Reason?" Liu Wei asked curiously.

"First of all, up to now, online dramas have always been at the low end of the entertainment industry's ecological chain. They are hated by everyone. Any celebrity actor with a little fame will not take on online dramas for fear of losing face."

"For someone of Mr. Guo's status to take on an online drama is actually seen by outsiders as a sign of destitution, just short of having the word 'miserable' written on his face. This is actually a very good marketing selling point, and it's good for the drama."

"In his eyes... the fact that Mr. Guo had fallen so far as to act in a web drama was enough to satisfy his desire for conquest. For him, watching Mr. Guo struggling at the bottom of the ecosystem was far more interesting than completely erasing him."

"To use an inappropriate analogy, it's like playing with crickets."

Glancing at the three stunned people, Zhou Hao continued, "Secondly, I have absolute confidence in the quality of this drama. With Director Liu's skills and a pair of TV King and Movie King winners, it will definitely be a super hit."

"When the show becomes extremely popular, even if he wants to change his mind and suppress it, it will probably be too late. This kind of thing will incur public outrage."

"After all, our country is still red, and we will not allow such a domineering person who ignores everything to exist!"

There is a third reason that Zhou Hao cannot tell.

For him, the bottom line of this drama is to finish filming smoothly and complete the system tasks.

As for whether it will become a hit later, that is icing on the cake. If it can become a hit, that is even better. If it fails, at least there will be the screenwriter fee and task rewards to back it up, so it is not a big loss.

But if you win this bet, you will make a lot of money!
Just as he was thinking about it, Guo Chen suddenly laughed out loud, "Well said, I almost got fooled... Screenwriter Zhou, all the benefits you mentioned belong to you, what about me?"

"I put so much effort into taking this role, and what can I get?"

"Money? I don't gamble, I don't prostitute, I don't squander money, the money I earn now is enough for my retirement."

"Fame? I don't think I'll ever win any of those serious awards in my lifetime, so why am I struggling?"

"Like you said, online dramas are hated by everyone. If I take this role, I will most likely be ridiculed and mocked. What do you think I want?"

"If I have that much free time, I might as well go to the senior citizen activity center to while away the time. A pot of tea and a game of chess can make a day go by without worries or troubles."

Damn, this is such a loser!
"Teacher Guo, did you learn acting just for fame and fortune?" Zhou Hao frowned and asked, "Is it not at all out of your love for acting?"

"Is your acting career all about money and trophies? Go to Station A and see how many viewers have signed in to your performance highlights, eagerly waiting for you to return to the stage?"

"Are you worthy of their love and expectations as you are now?"

"Based on your previous enthusiasm for acting, I don't believe you became an actor just for fame and fortune!"

After hearing this, Liu Wei couldn't help but look at him twice more.

Not only is the young man good at writing, he is also very good at talking...

After Guo Chen's expression changed several times, he laughed and said, "Writer Zhou, it's a pity that you don't go into pyramid selling."

"It is true that I once had romantic ambitions, but now... I have lost them."

As soon as he finished speaking, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

"run ahead
Facing cold looks and ridicule

How can you feel the vastness of life without going through hardships?
Destiny cannot make us kneel down and beg for mercy
Even if my arms are covered in blood..."

The scene suddenly became very awkward.

"Let me take a call." Guo Chen stood up, walked away two steps, and answered the phone.

"Hey Uncle Jiu, hey...something's going on here, you guys go ahead and I'll come and clean up your lousy chess game later..."

After returning to the pavilion, Guo Chen smiled awkwardly when he saw the three people's strange looks. "I just thought this song was nice, so I used it as my ringtone. I don't have any other intentions."

Without waiting for the other three to speak, he immediately looked at Xu Lingyue, "Teacher Xu, you know Teacher Zhou, right?"

Xu Lingyue's eyes immediately became alert.

"Can you introduce him to me?" Guo Chen asked expectantly, "I really like his works."

Xu Lingyue shook her head without hesitation, "I haven't even met him myself. We've only been communicating online through Fetion and email."

"Ah?" Guo Chen was surprised. "Then... can you share your Fetion business card?"

"No." Xu Lingyue still shook her head, "I promised him that I would not disclose his contact information without his permission."

Guo Chen scratched his head frantically, his ponytail almost getting messed up, "How come I met someone even weirder than me..."

On the other side, Liu Wei looked at Xu Lingyue with an almost pleading look: Auntie, please find a way to help me. I didn't ask you to come here just to be a spectator!
Xu Lingyue frowned and pondered for a long time, then took out his mobile phone, opened Fetion, and sent a line of messages.

Guo Chen moved closer with anticipation, only to be glared back at.

"Wait a moment and see how he responds."

"Okay, okay, thank you Teacher Xu." Guo Chen said hurriedly.

Zhou Hao couldn't sit still any longer.

"Well, is there a toilet here? I want to go to the bathroom."

"Yes." Guo Chen raised his finger and said, "Walk a hundred meters from here, there is a public toilet for property staff."

Zhou Hao thanked him, got up and left with his bag on his back.

After entering the bathroom, he took out the spare phone directly from his bag.

After turning on and unlocking the phone, the message Xu Lingyue had just sent popped up immediately.

"Teacher Zhou, one of your fans has suffered a setback and is now devastated. Is there any way to cheer him up?"

What can I do?
This is no longer an ordinary salted fish, we must strike hard!

After thinking and struggling for a while, he typed his reply in the chat box and set it to be automatically sent after five minutes.

I turned off the phone and put it back in my bag, washed my hands and returned to the pavilion.

Guo Chen in the pavilion was obviously getting a little impatient waiting, "Teacher Xu, take a look, is there a reply?"

"No."

"Take a look."

"My phone is not broken. I will notify you if there is any message."

"What if?"

"Hey, stop arguing." Liu Wei couldn't stand it any longer. "Maybe they are busy. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Zhou Hao sat down again and asked casually, "Why do you like that teacher Zhou so much?"

"Of course not." Guo Chen said immediately: "A hermit who is talented and helps the weak and the poor is simply a figure that only exists in legends. Who wouldn't be curious?"

While they were chatting, Xu Lingyue's cell phone suddenly dinged.

Guo Chen stood up immediately, and Liu Wei also looked over with burning eyes.

Xu Lingyue unlocked the phone and took a look. Her beautiful eyes trembled suddenly and her red lips opened slightly.

"What did you say?" Guo Chen asked impatiently.

Double-click to enlarge the reply content, and Xu Lingyue turned on the screen of her mobile phone.

"Don't say that slander is as deep as waves, and don't say that migrants are as heavy as sand.

Although it is hard to sift through the sand, gold will be found after all the sand is blown away..."

Guo Chen read it once and was petrified on the spot.

Liu Wei, who was standing by, gasped and his eyes widened.

This bowl of chicken soup is quite strong!
