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

Chapter 185 Crazy, all crazy!

The live broadcast of the second day had not yet ended, and the entry #仙剑奇侠传# had already become the most popular one on the hot search list.

When you click on the entry, the number of posts and the heated discussion are staggering.

So many people complained bitterly: "If you have money, you can buy trending searches at will", "The story hasn't even started yet and they're making such a big fuss", "I don't know what's so special about such a clichéd story"...

But no one cares about these sour rumors. They just treat them as nonsense and continue talking about the same thing.

Indeed, with the current volume of the plot, it is indeed unable to support such high popularity, but it cannot be denied that he is very popular now!

He had already become a phenomenal online writer thanks to The Legend of the Condor Heroes, and this time his wonderful pen gave him a "god assist" at the right time, which directly helped him boost his popularity.

Coupled with the fact that Penguin was willing to spend money on marketing, and with the support of various forces, this strange wave of popularity was created.

Compared with the general audience's relish for talking about it, capital is much more agile.

What does this burgeoning wave of popularity mean?
It means a money tree is rising!

How could capital, which is born to pursue profits, miss such a golden opportunity?

Plus, Zhou Hao has been at odds with his old club recently... The window period is the easiest time to take advantage of the situation.

If you don’t start now, when will you wait?

Rush!
So, Zhou Hao, who had just finished the live broadcast, was called over by Jiang Yan.

"Since the show started tonight, I've received no less than a hundred calls, most of which are directed at you."

Zhou Hao was stunned for a moment, "Are you here for The Legend of Sword and Fairy, or for me?"

"Both." Jiang Yan smiled and said, "There are a lot of people who have inquired about the copyright of "Chinese Paladin", and many of them are first-class film and television companies and studios in the industry. You have only just started your story, but it has already triggered a rush to buy it... Congratulations, your reputation in the industry has already taken shape."

Zhou Hao smiled and didn't feel comfortable responding.

He is not a fool, he knows where this popularity comes from. If it weren't for the Penguin behind the scenes, it would never have been possible to reach this point.

There is moisture in it, quite a lot of it.

As Jiang Yan spoke, she handed Zhou Hao a document with the ink still warm.

It was obviously just printed out, and it recorded in detail the companies and celebrities who inquired about copyright, and also marked the reply methods.

"Take it back and read it carefully, and consider future cooperation partners. Your book will definitely be adapted into a film or TV series." Jiang Yan said, "If there is anything you don't understand, you can always call me for consultation."

Looking at the detailed information in his hand, Zhou Hao's heart was moved, "Thank you, Sister Jiang."

Jiang Yan shook her head. "Isn't that too formal?"

After a pause, she smiled and reminded, "Friendly advice, you really should find an agent or assistant, otherwise these trivial matters will be a headache."

Zhou Hao nodded, "I know."

The candidates have already been chosen, the agent is Yan Lei, and the assistant is the rich woman "Xiao Tu Ji"...

It’s a pity that the person is still in Cao’s camp and can’t get out for the time being!

"In addition, many brokerage companies probably also see your development potential. In the next few days, many people may contact you and ask you to develop in the entertainment industry. You'd better consider the trade-off carefully." Jiang Yan said again.

Zhou Hao shook his head without even thinking about it, "Don't consider it. I don't really like the life in front of the stage."

"Oh?" Jiang Yan said with a playful smile: "Are you really not going to think about it seriously? If you become famous overnight, there will be many benefits!"

Zhou Hao smiled, but still shook his head. There are indeed many benefits - in a few years, you can earn a fortune that ordinary people can hardly achieve in their lifetime, you can be very popular in front of others and have fans everywhere, and you will never lack women around you and can change them at will...

This is indeed the life that many men dream of experiencing.

But these are all the glorious scenes in front of the public. Many people don’t know about the dark side of celebrities behind the scenes, or deliberately ignore it.

Not to mention how fierce the competition is in the entertainment industry today, the speed of renewal and replacement is simply unbelievable. Many people can complete the entire process of "obscurity - overnight fame - no one cares" in just a few months, and then become an outdated name.

This kind of competitive pressure is extremely great.

Another extremely disgusting point is that it is not only female stars who are subject to unspoken rules in the circle. Good-looking male stars are also not immune. Many big men in the circle who play around are well-known "two-way walkers"...

Just to fight for a few roles, he became the target of a few perverts... The thought of it made him feel sick.

There is something even more terrifying - a "star" without any foundation is actually a pig that can be used as a sacrifice at any time. The fatter the pig, the more dangerous it is.

Who knows when they will need a topic to cover up the main contradiction, and they will pull out a pig to slaughter...

Zhou Hao doesn't want to become a pig in the pigsty.

So from the very beginning, his idea was very firm - to work in the background instead of in the front.

Of course, it’s okay to make an occasional guest appearance for fun.

Until now, his thoughts have not changed, so he will ignore all the olive branches from the agency.

Seeing Zhou Hao so determined, Jiang Yan stopped trying to persuade him.

"Okay, just make your own decisions, but you'd better be prepared. In the next few days... those people trying to poach me will probably be crazy."

Zhou Hao nodded, "Okay."

Although Jiang Yan reminded him again and again, he still underestimated his current "potential".

That night, his cell phone was bombarded with calls.

Film and television companies, celebrity studios, novel websites, self-recommended agents, MCN agencies... olive branches came to him from all directions, making him so annoyed that he couldn't concentrate on writing.

There is no choice but to shut down the computer temporarily.

However, this was of no use, as the next thing to suffer was his email inbox and Weibo private message area...all the unread messages exploded!
I clicked on a few emails at random and found some well-known names in the entertainment industry, who are definitely giants in the industry.

These giants also do things in a very simple and crude way - just give a quote directly, and just say so if you are not satisfied!

The most exaggerated email directly promised a "signing fee" of 10 million!
As long as you, Zhou Hao, nod and agree to sign the contract, I will give you a bonus of 10 million.

If he wasn't short of money now, he might have been really tempted.

That’s a full ten million!
No wonder everyone is trying so hard to become famous. Once you become famous, you can make money so quickly!
By the second half of the night, emails with quotations began to increase in number, and prices began to rise.

Crazy, all crazy!

After clearing all emails with one click, Zhou Hao held his head and sighed.

It seems... the plan to set up my own business needs to be brought forward, otherwise the harassment will never end!

It's time to find an opportunity to confront my old boss!
