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

Chapter 99 This damn sour smell!
"Pass!"

Liu Wei stood up with the loudspeaker in his hand, a rare smile of relief on his face.

"Very good, all the scenes for today were completed smoothly. The recent filming progress is quite healthy. Thank you all for your hard work!"

"I would like to give special praise to Zhou Hao here. He has made obvious progress since the start of filming. There are visible improvements in all aspects. His performance in the recent scenes has been quite good!"

After saying this, he led the applause, which drew applause from those around him.

Zhou Hao waved his hands sheepishly. "Thanks to the director's guidance and the good guidance of several seniors, it's hard not to make progress."

Just say the polite words, it doesn't cost any money anyway.

When I packed up and prepared to go back to the hotel, Cao Xing followed me and said, "Brother, how did you learn this? Can you teach me?"

"You get praised by the director every day, while I get scolded every day. It's so miserable!"

"Yes, yes." Lin Xina, who was dressed in a sporty style, followed and rarely agreed with Cao Xing. "Writer Zhou, your progress is too fast. Do you have any secret?"

Zhou Hao smiled helplessly. I can’t tell you guys… Can I add some myself?
So far, he is still stuck in the five-star "Body Shape Course" and just can't pass it.

The main reason was that the five-star course was too abnormal... They directly threw him to the crew of the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" and made him practice according to Baoyu's model!

What is the level of the 87 version of Dream of the Red Chamber? Those who understand will understand. The entire crew is obsessed with details!
Everything from costumes to props and manners is extremely particular, and the requirements for actors are extremely strict.

It took more than three years to train and film all the main actors!
For costume dramas these days, three months is considered too slow to shoot!

It is precisely because of this three-year immersive performance that many people have entered a state where they cannot distinguish between the person and the performance, and their accent and manner of speaking and walking have never changed in their lifetime.

It can be seen how meticulous and strict the crew's requirements for etiquette are.

Studying and assessing in a crew like this... you can imagine how difficult it is.

I’m afraid I won’t be able to pass this five-star course in a short period of time.

But even so, relying on the points accumulated previously, Zhou Hao's total acting score has risen to 56 points.

In particular, the score for demeanor in the sub-item has risen to 74 points, far ahead of all the sub-item scores.

Although he still failed in all aspects, but...his starting point was low!

If a top student who can score 95 points works very hard to get 5 more points, it can only be considered a small improvement.

But a poor student who could only score 30 points in the past suddenly scored 60 points. That is an incredible leap!
In recent days, his progress has indeed impressed everyone in the crew.

In the words of director Liu Wei - as a minor supporting role, you don't need to be particularly outstanding, but just don't be a drag when the camera passes by.

Zhou Hao has perfectly implemented this bottom line standard. Whenever he appears on camera, he never lags behind, and his manners and temperament are perfectly controlled. No matter which angle the camera is used to shoot him, you will not be able to find any fault with him.

This performance was already very good, and with the addition of a burden like Cao Xing as a contrast... it is even more outstanding.

They walked and talked, and when they arrived at the parking lot, Lin Xina suddenly pulled him.

"Writer Zhou, you didn't forget Sister Hongdou's birthday, did you?"

Zhou Hao nodded, "Isn't there still two days left?"

"I'm glad you didn't forget." Lin Xina blinked, her almond eyes flashing with gossip, "What gift did you prepare for her?"

Zhou Hao said without blushing or beating his heart: "It's not a gift for you, why should I tell you?"

“Eh——” Lin Xina rubbed her arms with a grimace, “This damn sour smell!”

After returning to the hotel and taking a shower, Zhou Hao took out and opened Weibo.

Not surprisingly, the debate surrounding The Legend of the Condor Heroes continues.

Ever since Director Jiang criticized "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", more and more directors and screenwriters have joined the fight.

Most of them agreed with Director Jiang and criticized "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" for being neither fish nor fowl.

But there are also a small number of emerging directors who support "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", praising it for its unique and refreshing approach.

One of the young directors, named Sun Wei, even responded with a competing essay.

"Everyone, think back, how long has it been since there was a hit martial arts drama in the market? The film and television drama market is still constantly remaking works from more than ten years ago, or even twenty or thirty years ago. What's the reason?" "It's simple, because the upstream martial arts novels have dried up. Without the source, what can be adapted and filmed?"

"The traditional martial arts genre was indeed popular in the past, but when it first appeared, it was also burdened with various controversies and infamy, and was even despised by the orthodox literary circle as "spiritual garbage" and "cultural dregs". However, in the end, all these controversies and infamy disappeared. Why?"

"Because the market has given martial arts novels enough positive feedback, the books they publish are widely loved by readers, and the TV movies they are adapted into are also very popular... The general public loves to read martial arts novels, so what's the point of a few pedantic writers cursing at the sky? Who do they think they are?"

"Why did martial arts novels decline later on? Because all the content has been written to the end, and it's all about the same plot elements, permuting and combining them over and over again, changing the plot, changing the characters' names, and updating and exaggerating the martial arts moves, and it's considered a new work...but the audience will get tired of it!"

"Martial arts has gradually fallen from being a popular genre to a genre that no one cares about. This is the negative feedback from the market, proving that no one is interested in the old stuff anymore!"

"This is also the choice of the majority of readers and viewers, and it cannot be changed by some small group members coming out and shouting a few words!"

"It has been proven that sticking to the old ways and clinging to the old ways will not save martial arts. If martial arts novels want to be reborn, it's time to revamp them!"

"You people who keep talking about classical martial arts are not upholding orthodoxy. On the contrary, you are hammering nails into the coffin of martial arts!"

"Your narrow-mindedness and stupidity are the biggest obstacles to the revival of martial arts!"

"In my opinion, none of your criticisms of The Legend of the Condor Heroes is tenable."

"What do you mean no character can stand out? Why do all these characters seem more vivid than the last?"

"Have you, the famous writers who claim to be orthodox martial arts writers, ever created a heroine who can rival Huang Rong? Look at the heroines you have created, what kind of people are they?"

"What do you mean there is no martial arts without Jianghu? What? Only a world where bandits run rampant and chivalrous knights are everywhere can be called Jianghu?"

"You're even using 'knights breaking the law with force' to make a fuss. Don't you understand what this sentence means? Don't you know the historical background of the birth of this sentence? Why do you still think this is a compliment?"

"Why was there so much controversy when martial arts was first born? Don't you martial arts orthodox defenders have any idea? Isn't advocating violence and killing people one of the most criticized elements?"

"If you cling to the dregs and cling to them, how can martial arts not decline?"

"In my opinion, the biggest highlight of The Legend of the Condor Heroes lies precisely in its background structure. It digs the martial arts story out of the traditional Jianghu cliché and embeds it into the vivid historical world, giving it a different kind of vitality!"

"What the author wants to show us is another kind of martial arts spirit, a martial arts spirit with a grand vision and a great spirit, rather than the old routine of you chop me and I chop you, you love me and I love you all the time!"

"On a smaller scale, this is an attempt to explore the martial arts routine. On a larger scale, this book may even become a watershed in the history of martial arts, giving martial arts a second spring!"

"Who will be the biggest beneficiary if martial arts is revived? But you, a bunch of old stubborn people who cling to your old ways, are trying your best to hold them back. It's pathetic! Ridiculous!"

A thousand-word-long counterattack manifesto, with full firepower and face-to-face attacks, was a hearty insult.

Even Zhou Hao couldn't help but cheer for him.

There are indeed some wise people in this world!

The most terrifying things in a small circle are those old stubborn people who always insist on being orthodox and cannot tolerate even the slightest change. They would rather let a skill be lost than cater to the trend of the times.

Folk music, opera, Hanfu...all are like this without exception.

Even though they have been squeezed to the brink of a generational gap, they are stubbornly refusing to lower the entry threshold. Whenever there is even a little bit of inappropriate content on the Internet, the police are immediately dispatched to suppress it.

The young man's interest in getting started was wiped out in an instant...

The current martial arts circle is facing such a dilemma.

The vested interests are unwilling to let go of outdated "orthodoxy" and will immediately suppress anyone who dares to innovate.

As long as the orthodoxy of martial arts is still in their hands, even if they cannot become rich, at least they can have something to eat.

But once someone succeeds in innovating...how can these old stubborn people keep up with the trend?
By that time, everyone will be chasing new things. Who will still remember these out-of-date old guys?

Suppress, must suppress!
As for the life and death of martial arts themes...what does it have to do with me?
If a man does not serve himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth!
Since he had decided to lift the lid of the coffin, Zhou Hao had no intention of pampering these old guys.

Now that someone is willing to show his support, he naturally won't just sit there and watch.

I forwarded this short essay on my account, pinned it directly to the top, and attached a brief copy:

The great chivalrous person serves the country and the people!
