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

Chapter 93 Brother, this script is wrong!

As we enter the second half of September, the scorching heat gradually fades away, and the hot autumn heat takes over and continues to wreak havoc on the world.

The Chinese entertainment industry, which had been quiet for a while, has begun to heat up and become lively again. In preparation for the upcoming National Day box office battle, various companies have started a fascinating marketing war.

The entire Weibo hot search list is almost dominated by various movie marketing - XX gave the best performance since his debut, XXX's crying scene was extremely touching, XXX lost 20 pounds for the role, XX wore a large flowered jacket like a top luxury couture...

All kinds of messy content are used as marketing materials, which is really sickening.

But there is no way. In the past two years, the Chinese-language film industry has officially entered a period of box office explosion, and the popular movie-watching periods every year are excellent opportunities to make money.

In the past, it was already amazing for a movie to sell hundreds of millions of box office, but now... it’s not enough at all.

Even if it grosses 1 billion at the box office, it might not even make it into the top three during the Spring Festival!
Some people lived frugally and mortgaged their houses to make movies in the previous year, but in the next year they made a comeback and reached the peak of their lives.

Chinese-language films have become a hotbed for creating miracles!

Even though they know that some of the gold coins here are not clean and are gray items that cannot even pay taxes, it still does not stop people from jumping in one after another.

Compared with the real box office profits, what does moral integrity mean?
Marketing, market to death!

As one thing grew, the other fell, and the little bit of heat in the drama circle was completely suppressed, not making any splash at all.

But this does not mean that everyone is willing to remain silent. The crew of "The Legend of Yunlan", which just lost face a few days ago, quietly made news - they invited a calligraphy master to write the title of the drama.

This master named Li Yan is over seventy years old and is well-known in the circle for his perfect running script.

This move was obviously intended to save the face that had been lost previously.

In this world, you, old man Qin, are not the only one who can write beautifully!
The fan girls, who had been holding back for nearly a week, finally got the chance to show off and began to crazily praise Li Yan's calligraphy on the official Weibo...even though they knew nothing about calligraphy.

But it doesn’t matter, as long as I can help my older brothers and sisters, just blow it with my eyes closed!

If you praise Li Yan, you will naturally have to step on Lao Qin.

Where did this old man come from? He has no manners at all. Look at Master Li!

What a crap Slender Gold style, it’s a mess and not good-looking at all. Look at Master Li’s regular script!
This is calligraphy!
"This crew has gone a little crazy." Zhou Hao shook his head while eating.

"It's originally a marketing work, it would be strange if it didn't do these things." Guo Chen stuffed a piece of chicken breast into his mouth, "This circle has been made into a mess by them."

After a month, he has successfully lost 15 kilograms and successfully adapted to the physical requirements of the role, but in order to avoid rebound, he still has to continue to abide by the rules and regulations and eat strictly according to the diet.

Looking at Guo Chen who was working diligently in front of him, and thinking about those 208s who could do nothing but act like big shots, Zhou Hao felt depressed for these academicians.

As if seeing through Zhou Hao's thoughts, Guo Chen smiled and shook his head, "Don't think about those things, this is the general trend, there is nothing we can do about it."

"After the Internet capital entered the market, they liked to support those newcomers who knew nothing. People without ability are not worthy of independent thinking and can only follow the will of capital to cut the leeks one by one..."

"Unless the entertainment industry's capital is renewed, the market will continue to rot until the interests and future of the industry are completely exhausted."

"All you and I can do is try our best to slow down the decline of this circle, but it is impossible to reverse the situation."

As an outsider listening to this, one can feel a sense of despair and sadness. It is hard to imagine how many setbacks Guo Chen had to go through before he could face all this calmly...

"Oh, right." Guo Chen looked at Cao Xing on the other side, "Xiao Cao, the male protagonist of "The Legend of Yunlan" is your former teammate, right?"

Cao Xing nodded, holding a piece of pork ribs in his mouth, with a little embarrassment on his face.

"When we formed the group, I was the captain and he was the main dancer...but he and I never had a good relationship."

"Why?" Guo Chen asked curiously.

"That kid..." Cao Xing considered his words, "It seems that his brain is not working well."

Zhou Hao raised his head and glanced at him. "Is it more serious than yours?"

"Ahem..." Guo Chen almost got a stitch in the side from laughing so hard.

Cao Xing looked resentful, "Brother, you shouldn't be so mean to me. I'm much more normal than him!"

"But his current development momentum seems to be much better than yours, right?" Guo Chen asked again. "That's because I don't want to follow his path." Cao Xing sneered, "If I were willing to take on bad movies without any bottom line, how could he have the chance?"

"Unfortunately, the label attached to me has been solidified. Basically, no serious crew dares to use me as the lead, and the company is unwilling to let me study acting, so I am stuck in the middle now."

Zhou Hao couldn't help but be secretly surprised when he heard this.

I didn't expect that this silly kid would have such a side to him?
Just based on this ambition, he is indeed much better than his teammate.

Unfortunately, once these idol-debuting stars sign an agency contract, it is basically equivalent to signing a contract to sell themselves, and they have no control over anything.

His schedule is packed almost every day, with him performing everywhere to make money. How could he have the time to learn and hone his acting skills?

I guess the reason why he came to star in "Day and Night" was probably because he was attracted by the two big trees, Shanhai and Penguin.

If he were to change any other company or crew, there would be no way they would let him play this small supporting role. The cost-effectiveness is too low!

This kid is a little bit silly, but he is a decent person. If there is a chance in the future, I can help him...

As they were chatting, Cao Xing suddenly perked up and looked straight towards the restaurant entrance.

You don't need to look back to know that there is only one person who can make him so energetic.

Sure enough, Lin Xina, wearing jeans and a leather vest, trotted over with a fragrant breeze and sat down next to Zhou Hao.

She pushed aside her sweaty bangs with one hand, fanned herself with her hand and stuck out her tongue, "I'm so hot and thirsty, I'm so tired!"

Cao Xing subconsciously stood up, "I'll get you a cup..."

He was halfway through his words when he suddenly saw Zhou Hao next to him and immediately sat back down.

Be reserved and don't be a bootlicker!
Zhou Hao casually handed over his unopened bottle of grapefruit juice and said, "Where have you been? I haven't seen you all day."

Lin Xina twisted it open and took a sip, then said with satisfaction, "Thank you, screenwriter Zhou, you are the best."

Cao Xing: ???
Bro, this script is wrong?!

Lin Xina drank two more sips before explaining, "I went to invite Master Qin. I pestered him for a whole day and finally asked Sister Hongdou to come to my rescue and finally got him over!"

Guo Chen became more interested as he listened, "Did he agree to write an inscription for us?"

"I don't know yet." Lin Xina pouted and said, "After pestering me for a whole day, he only agreed to come and take a look. Whether I can get his calligraphy depends on Director Liu's ability."

"Well, that's definitely the end." Guo Chen sneered, "Let Lao Liu scold people, he is a top-notch expert, let him flatter and please people, hehe."

"No way... wouldn't all my efforts be in vain?!" Lin Xina was a little overwhelmed.

"Let's go over and take a look, and help Lao Liu." After finishing the last piece of boiled chicken breast, Guo Chen wiped his mouth and said, "Size also counts, let's take a bite if we can."

After finishing the rest in a few bites, they went to the reception room upstairs together.

As soon as I walked out of the elevator hall, I heard the old man's shouting coming from the reception room from a distance.

"...I just can't stand you people who are into art nowadays. Instead of thinking about how to create something good, you just do these fancy gimmicks all day long."

"Look at what you guys have been shooting these years, huh? Is there a single film worth watching? It's all just some petty bourgeois whining. If I watch it for one more second, I'll vomit up my leftover food!"

"You want me to help write the title of the play? Do I need your money or something? If you make a bunch of rubbish, I will be scolded too..."

Hearing this barrage of curses, Guo Chen couldn't help but frown, "Why is this old man so angry?"

"If they don't have a good temper, how can they argue with the crew next door on Weibo?" Lin Xina sighed, "From the looks of it, the talks probably broke down."

"Then are we going or not?" Cao Xing whispered.

"Let's go." Zhou Hao took the lead and walked over. "Since we're here, let's meet them first."
