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

Chapter 718: Concubine Xu

As the Xie family was in internal strife, Zhou Hao was just watching the show.

But he soon found out that he was wrong, and the fire inexplicably burned on his head - several unfilial children of Lao Xie commissioned the media to spread the word that they were going to sell Lao Deng's media publishing house in a package, and were currently listening to offers from all parties.

When this news came out, the entire industry was in an uproar.

Before Mr. Xie’s body was even cold, his children were already preparing to sell off his property!
You know, that publishing house is the biggest contributor to Old Xie’s entrepreneurship and is also his most treasured asset!

However, now, several children are preparing to list the property without saying a word.

It's really like a son selling his father's land without any regret!
After confirming the authenticity of the news, Zhou Hao couldn't sit still anymore.

Because he has the physical copyrights of several books, all of which are registered under Lao Xie's name. If the publishing house is sold in a package, his books will become orphans!
You should know that the reason why his book was able to open up the market in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia at the fastest speed is absolutely due to Lao Xie's promotional assistance. In addition, all the various promotional activities in the middle fully respected his opinions and the cooperation was quite pleasant.

But if someone else takes over now, things may not be so harmonious in the future.

After thinking about it for a few days, Zhou Hao decided to buy back the physical copyrights of several books before these bastards sold their assets.

I would rather let it rot in my hands than let them destroy it.

However, when he called in person to inquire about the matter, the response he received left him stunned.

Want physical copyright back?
Yes, each book starts at eight figures.

Will you buy it? How many copies will you buy?

Zhou Hao was so angry that he laughed. Why didn't Old Xie shoot these bastards onto the wall?

Not to mention that he and Lao Xie already had a friendship regardless of age difference, so even if you don't give face to the monk, you have to give face to the Buddha!

And even if a stranger wanted to buy the copyright, they wouldn't ask for an eight-digit price. How about slaughtering a pig?!
After all, it’s just the physical copyright!

"They didn't plan to sell it." Yan Lei, who had worked in a publishing house for several years, said, "The physical copyright of a book costs eight figures, unless you are a world-renowned literary master. They offer this price purely to disgust you."

"The martial arts industry is declining. Mr. Xie's publishing house has actually been a little overwhelmed for a long time. It was your books that helped to prolong their life for a few more years. Now they are in a hurry to sell them for cash. They have seen this clearly and plan to take action before you run out of ideas."

"If the copyright of those books is returned to you, how much do you think the publishing house can sell them for? Will anyone still want them?"

Zhou Hao sighed and cursed secretly.

Damn it!
Although he was depressed, facing such an outrageous offer, there was no way he could be taken advantage of, so he simply gave in and let it go.

Anyway, it's just a little bit of physical copyright, so you can do whatever you want. At most, you can just randomly republish it to make money and reap the benefits... If that doesn't work, then wait for the right time to create a controversial separation.

As long as the biggest film and television copyrights are still in hand, there will be no big problem.

After clearing away these troubles, he began to continue his retreat and creation.

While Zhou Hao was in seclusion, Xu Lingyue's concert tour came to Chang'an, the ancient capital of Sixteen Dynasties.

This concert did not feature any new songs, nor did it have any heavyweight guests. It just brought in the young couple Cao Xing and Zhao Leilei to take advantage of the popularity.

But this does not mean that this show was without highlights - in the finale performance, Xu Lingyue put on Hanfu and authentic Tang-style makeup, and sang "New Drunken Concubine" which made the whole audience's scalp tingle.

This song is not new. It was performed once in the Spring Festival Gala of Henan Satellite TV two years ago. After that, it became popular for nearly a whole year and became the treasure of Station A. The original version was performed by a man and a woman, but this time Xu Lingyue's version is a woman and a man, a real "imperial concubine".

Although her cross-dressing male voice was not that solid, she performed the female part to perfection, making all the fans in the audience feel their scalps tingle and tremble all over.

In terms of overall quality, it is in no way inferior to the original.

Xu Lingyue already had an advantage - she was a beauty, and a plump one at that, which naturally conformed to the aesthetic preferences of the Tang Dynasty.

Once I put on this Hanfu Tang suit, I felt like the imperial concubine was reborn.

Looking at the beautiful figure on the stage and listening to the beautiful singing, all the "old Chang'an" people were moved to tears.

It tastes just right. It tastes just right!
After the performance, the audience was reluctant to get up and leave, shouting "Encore" over and over again.

This forced Xu Lingyue, who had already started removing her makeup, to return to the stage and sing "Goodbye" with everyone, allowing the fans to leave with a sense of unfulfilled desire.

As the live videos were uploaded to social media platforms one after another, this concert unsurprisingly once again became the traffic driver for major social media platforms.

"Wow, Hongdou's performance is getting better and better with each game. The typhoon is so stable!"

"And you'll notice that she not only sings well, but she's also much prettier than before."

"A woman who is nourished by love every day is like this, happiness is written all over her face."

"Ah, sister is finally willing to play with our Xingxing!"

"By the way, what's going on with Cao Xing recently? It seems like he hasn't released a new song in a while?"

"Yes, there was a rumor before that he was hidden by Teacher Zhou. Now it has been refuted."

"Xiao Zhao's singing skills have improved again. He is as steady as an old dog on stage, and doesn't look like a 20-year-old at all."

"But compared to Xu Lingyue, she is still a long way behind. The last song, "New Drunken Concubine", is absolutely amazing!"

“Ahhh…——When will there be an official high-definition version? I must keep the video of this song forever, it’s too classic!”

"I didn't know before that Hongdou's cross-dressing and opera singing are so strong, it's amazing."

"What a damn talented player..."

"She sings beautifully, looks good, and her makeup is absolutely amazing!"

"My noble concubine, if I had such a beloved concubine, I would not attend court every day."

"It's time for the guy upstairs to go to bed. He has to go to work tomorrow..."

The song "New Drunken Concubine" not only became a hit in China, but also caused quite a stir abroad.

Japan has always admired Tang Wenhua very much, and some even say every day that "the legacy of the Tang Dynasty lives on in Japan", and Xu Lingyue's Tang-style makeup just hits their liking point.

The already hot popularity has reached a new level with this favorable trend.

Those fans who signed the petition started to speak out again: Please, please, definitely include this song in the concert in Japan.

please!
