This star doesn’t work overtime

to be honest……

Wang Cheng had performed in the Spring Festival Gala many times in another world in his previous life.

Therefore, he has no obsession with this stage.

Unlike some celebrities who dream of attending the Spring Festival Gala, as long as the Spring Festival Gala invites them, they will do whatever it takes to attend.

but!

He has been on the Spring Festival Gala stage so many times in his previous life, but he has never been personally invited by the director.

Of course, he had never refused an invitation to the Spring Festival Gala in his previous life.

There is no doubt that the directors of the Spring Festival Gala are all big names in the industry. They are either senior directors working with CCTV itself, or they are successful directors in the film and television industry. They have great appeal and popularity. With the CCTV Spring Festival Gala's signature, it is basically impossible for anyone to refuse the invitation.

The most important thing is that the Spring Festival Gala director’s selection range is from the entire entertainment industry, and there is almost no one who cannot be replaced, so if someone really refuses, the director can quickly find a replacement.

Therefore, it is impossible for a certain celebrity artist to be qualified for the Spring Festival Gala director to personally invite him.

And now...

Director Xie Xingfeng actually came to see him in person.

With the calmness that Wang Cheng had developed during this period, he was a little surprised, but he was just surprised, shook hands and nodded, then took out the key and opened the dormitory door without saying anything to Xie Xingfeng.

Xie Xingfeng looked at Wang Cheng, the displeasure and embarrassment in his eyes flashed away.

He knew a lot of information about Wang Cheng in advance and was mentally prepared for Wang Cheng's character. Therefore, when faced with Wang Cheng's indifference, he quickly suppressed his instinctive anger and continued: "Wang Cheng, last time I heard Liu Jinfeng Say, you rejected the invitation extended to you by our program team, can you tell me why?"

"To show my sincerity, I came here to meet you in person today. You are the most important actor in our Spring Festival Gala plan this year, bar none!"

open the door!

Wang Cheng walked in.

Shen Shenghui followed and invited Xie Xingfeng to go in with him.

Wang Cheng sat down on his chair, picked up the book he had not finished before and continued reading. He shook his head and said calmly: "Sorry, Director Xie! It is impossible for the Spring Festival Gala to change the live broadcast time like Tomorrow's Idol, so I I don’t think I’ll ever have the chance to work with the Spring Festival Gala crew.”

Xie Xingfeng was stunned for a moment. He had thought of this reason in advance.

Because Wang Cheng's strange rule has spread throughout the circle, that is, his work and rest time will never change. When working with him, you must abide by his work and rest time.

However, he still didn't believe it.

after all……

Who would say no to the Spring Festival Gala?

Who would refuse an invitation to the Spring Festival Gala for this reason?

Who doesn’t want to be seen by people across the country at the annual Spring Festival Gala?

But!

That's what Wang Cheng is.

He had no idea about the Spring Festival Gala.

He had to get off work at eight o'clock, so he couldn't perform.

After hearing this, Xie Xingfeng and Shen Shenghui were both speechless for a while, staring straight at Wang Cheng.

Shen Shenghui stepped forward and whispered to Wang Cheng: "Wang Cheng, Director Xie has cooperated with our Rubik's Cube Entertainment several times and has a close relationship. Can you give me a little face? If you refuse the Spring Festival Gala now, what will happen in the domestic entertainment industry in the future? But you have created an enemy, and CCTV may not cooperate with you anymore."

Xie Xingfeng looked at the two of them, hoping that Shen Shenghui could convince Wang Cheng.

This year he served as the general director of the Spring Festival Gala for the first time, and he was under a lot of pressure.

In the past ten years, the ratings and reputation of the Spring Festival Gala have plummeted, from over 90 ratings twenty years ago to over 30 ratings ten years ago, to less than 20 ratings now. The investment is increasing every year, but the reputation in return is getting lower and lower...

CCTV and the government want to save the reputation and ratings of the Spring Festival Gala every year, so the directors are getting younger and younger.

Xie Xingfeng is the youngest director of the Spring Festival Gala, and I just want him to bring some youthful changes.

Xie Xingfeng pays attention to current affairs and knows that Wang Cheng is the biggest variable in the Chinese entertainment industry this year.

After watching several of Wang Cheng's performances, Xie Xingfeng made up his mind to invite Wang Cheng to the Spring Festival Gala stage, which should attract many young people to watch.

Moreover, Wang Cheng's three martial arts performances were greatly recognized by Xie Xingfeng and the entire Spring Festival Gala program team, and also received praise from the official media.

If Wang Cheng were allowed to perform Chinese Kung Fu on the Spring Festival Gala stage, it would definitely become the most classic performance on the Spring Festival Gala stage in recent years.

Therefore, after he called Shen Shenghui last night, he was afraid of lack of sincerity, so he came to the Magic City to meet Wang Cheng in person, hoping to persuade Wang Cheng in person.

But!

Wang Cheng and Shen Shenghui ignored it and just looked at the book in their hands calmly.

Shen Shenghui's cheek muscles twitched. He was a little embarrassed to be so ignored by his company's artists in front of outsiders, but he couldn't get angry in front of Xie Xingfeng. He turned around and smiled at Xie Xingfeng: "Director Xie, you saw... Wang Cheng is like this..."

Although Wang Cheng's performance at the Spring Festival Gala may be delayed for three or four months.

However, Rubik's Cube Entertainment will still try its best to persuade Wang Cheng to perform.

The reason is not to offend the Spring Festival Gala program team and CCTV.

Xie Xingfeng nodded to Shen Shenghui, personally came forward and sat down in front of Wang Cheng, and said seriously: "Wang Cheng, your martial arts trilogy is a good work that can become a classic, and there are many elements of traditional Chinese culture in it. You Don’t you want to be seen by more people? I can respect your schedule. During the early rehearsal and rehearsal time, you can just follow your schedule."

"When we only need the last few days of on-site rehearsals and official performances, you can follow our normal live broadcast time, which will only take up a few days of your time, okay?"

"If you agree, I, Xie Xingfeng, owe you a favor! Although I am not a great person, in the entertainment industry, I, Xie Xingfeng, still have some face. When you need my help in the future, just give me a call at any time. I will definitely help you..."

"Even if you want the leading role in my movie next time, I won't hesitate, I won't even need an audition, I'll just give it to you!"

Shen Shenghui's eyes lit up when he heard Xie Xingfeng's favor and the film's protagonist's promise.

This person is one of the leading figures among the new generation of directors in China. He has been in the industry for 20 years. He has worked as an assistant to several big directors before. He has only directed it himself in the past ten years. The three movies he shot have a box office of over 1 billion in China. More than 100 yuan, the reputation is also very good.

Therefore, every time Xie Xingfeng starts filming a new film, many actors and actresses in the industry will flock to it, hoping to get some important roles in it.

However, Xie Xingfeng has strict requirements. Every time he casts a role, he only looks at his strength and compatibility with the role, but not his qualifications and popularity.

Therefore, many talented actors who were previously unknown have been made famous by Xie Xingfeng's film works, and have become popular and now A-list or even super-A-list celebrities.

Rubik's Cube Entertainment has always wanted to establish a relatively stable cooperative relationship with Xie Xingfeng, but there has been no better opportunity!

Now seeing that Xie Xingfeng even used his own movie protagonist as a bargaining chip in order to invite Wang Cheng to appear in the Spring Festival Gala, Shen Shenghui's eyes were full of emotion and envy, and he wished he could just agree to it for Wang Cheng...

Of course he won't let Wang Cheng be the protagonist, but he wants to use this to get the opportunity to invest in Xie Xingfeng's next film!

After all, capital is the most profitable way!

Xie Xingfeng's movies are basically bound to make money. Once a project is confirmed, all film and television entertainment companies will compete for investment shares. Rubik's Cube Entertainment has only a moderate relationship with him, so he has never received investment opportunities in his projects.

But now, Shen Shenghui saw an opportunity.

But!

Wow...

What responded to Xie Xingfeng was Shen Shenghui's familiar voice, the crisp sound of flipping through paper.

Wang Cheng turned over the pages of the book, continued to read, and said softly: "I don't need a protagonist. I said I only have one request. If we can do it, we will cooperate. For other contract terms, you can directly negotiate with the company .”

Just one request?

Xie Xingfeng was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed slightly.

Because it has been widely spread in the industry that Wang Cheng’s only requirement is that his work and rest hours remain unchanged. After being exposed on the Tomorrow Idol stage, many people called him a migrant worker in the entertainment industry, and he is a migrant worker who never works overtime. .

Take a deep breath...

Xie Xingfeng stretched out three fingers and said seriously: "Wang Cheng, I only need three days. I only need you to work overtime for three days, one day for the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala, and the first two days of rehearsals. These are the three days. The rest of the time, I will Allow yourself to do it in your own time! You are only nineteen years old, and you still have a lot of time in the future. I promise that I will support you as the protagonist of three of my works in the future. This promise, as long as you are still in the circle, I will still be in the circle. If you are guilty, it will work. Whenever you want to act, just come to me directly. The protagonist will definitely be you..."

Thinking of the hot topics on the Internet about Wang Cheng and the martial arts trilogy, as well as the affirmation of the official media. Xie Xingfeng knew that if Wang Cheng was not invited to the Spring Festival Gala stage this year, then the Spring Festival Gala directed by him would be a failure and the audience would not recognize it.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to give Wang Cheng the promise of starring in three movies!

Based on the performance of his previous works, the protagonists in the three works are enough to elevate a new actor to the position of a super star. It may not necessarily become a super star in the future...

Wang Cheng's current development in music and variety shows can be said to be at the pinnacle. If Wang Cheng plays the leading role in Xie Xingfeng's works three more times in the future, he will also reach the pinnacle on the big screen!

By the time……

Shen Shenghui didn't even dare to think about it.

because!

He could only think of one similar person at this time.

That is the only legendary superstar in the entire Chinese entertainment industry with over 100 million fans, Liu Qianhua, who is known as the living fossil of the Chinese entertainment industry.

He is the only person who has achieved super achievements in the three major fields of film, television and music. His achievements in film and television songs can almost represent the epitome of the thirty-year development history of the Chinese entertainment industry, so he is called a living fossil in the entertainment industry. .

At this time, Wang Cheng's development trajectory is almost exactly the same as that of the legendary existence in the Chinese entertainment industry, and his achievements may be even higher.

After all, although Liu Qianhua is one of the evergreen kings in the field of pop music, with countless classic works that have been handed down over the past thirty years, he has not broken sales records, and has no groundbreaking musical achievements. He can only be said to be a high-achiever. Just a king-level singer.

However, Wang Cheng has broken the sales record of Chinese online music many times in a row, and has also achieved groundbreaking and amazing achievements in the field of music creation and production, single-handedly promoting the development of the Chinese music scene.

Even if Wang Cheng stops developing music in the future and no longer publishes works, he will become an unavoidable legend in the history of Chinese pop music many years later.

Therefore, Wang Cheng's future musical achievements will definitely be higher than those of the legendary superstar Liu Qianhua.

If Wang Cheng can still play the leading role in Xie Xingfeng's three works in the future and develop his acting skills...

In the future, his status in front of Chinese entertainment may still be higher than that of Liu Qianhua at this time.

call……

Shen Shenghui took a deep breath and looked at Wang Cheng carefully, feeling as if he was looking at a living legend.

But.

This living legend is too out of control.

Shen Shenghui stepped forward and said to Wang Cheng: "Wang Cheng, the protagonist of director Xie's movie, all the actors in the industry would kill to get it! Don't miss it..."

Wang Cheng didn't speak, just shook his head gently.

I came back late last night and didn't go to bed on time.

It just made him feel uncomfortable today. He always felt that something was wrong, and he planned to sleep more during his nap at noon.

so!

In the future, he will definitely pay more attention and strictly abide by his own work and rest time plan!

Spring Festival Gala...

Forget it!

As for the promises made by the three male protagonists, it seems that Wang Cheng took advantage.

But Wang Cheng could see Xie Xingfeng's plan at a glance.

Although he had never checked out his popularity online, he could tell from Han Xiao's words that it was absolutely terrifying.

So, if you invite him to be the leading actor, who will make more money?

It's clear at a glance.

Wang Cheng didn't speak, just reading a book by himself.

Now, he has no interest in acting.

In his previous life, acting cost him too much time and energy, and he also suffered from the most occupational diseases.

Wow...

There was another crisp sound of turning a book.

no answer.

Wang Cheng said it once and was too lazy to continue.

The dormitory was quiet for more than a minute.

Xie Xingfeng and Shen Shenghui both stared at Wang Cheng. Wang Cheng was reading a book by himself and no one spoke.

Then, Xie Xingfeng's expression gradually calmed down, and he stared at Wang Cheng calmly.

There was a little sweat on Shen Shenghui's forehead. Feeling a lot of pressure, he broke the strange calm and said in a low voice: "Director Xie, Wang Cheng is like this, why don't we just forget about it?"

Xie Xingfeng glanced at Wang Cheng, said nothing, stood up and turned around and walked out.

He had given such a heavy promise, but Wang Cheng still refused without saying a word. He would not say another word.

As a leader of the new generation of directors, Xie Xingfeng also feels absolute pride in his heart.

Shen Shenghui frowned and glanced at Wang Cheng, then quickly followed Xie Xingfeng and whispered: "Director Xie, how about coming to our company? Mr. Qin even talked about Director Xie on the plane yesterday, saying that Director Xie is now The most powerful young director in the Chinese entertainment industry, the Chinese film and television industry will rely on you in the future."

Xie Xingfeng looked calm and said calmly: "Mr. Qin thanked you."

Shen Shenghui smiled and said: "I think this is the truth. Director Xie, don't be angry with people like Wang Cheng. It's not worth it. He is only nineteen years old and is just a child who suddenly got angry and was spoiled. Otherwise, you Let’s look at the other people under our company who are suitable to attend the Spring Festival Gala? Don’t worry, except for Wang Cheng, I can definitely help you get it done for anyone else, and the same goes for Hu Fei.”

Xie Xingfeng walked down the stairs and smiled: "We have only confirmed two candidates for the time being. Wang Cheng is one of them, and the first person we contacted was Wang Cheng. We have not yet decided on the other candidates. If we need to If the director helps, I will definitely speak up.”

Shen Shenghui smiled and said, "That's absolutely no problem."

Xie Xingfeng whispered: "Mr. Qin purchased Dongxing Entertainment for 5.2 billion, and at least 4 billion of it was spent on Wang Cheng alone, right? I think this business may be a loss. Wang Cheng's Talent and strength are definitely worthy of recognition, but character kills people. In recent years, are there many examples of talented newcomers disappearing due to character flaws?"

After saying that, Xie Xingfeng stopped talking.

Shen Shenghui also smiled and did not dare to comment on this topic. When it came to Qin Yuhai's decision, he did not dare to speak casually. If word spread, people would die.

Shen Shenghui asked curiously: "Director Xie said that two candidates have been determined now. Besides Wang Cheng, who is the other one?"

Xie Xingfeng said softly: "Besides Wang Cheng, who are the two most popular newcomers this year?"

Shen Shenghui frowned slightly: "Wen Yixiao!"

Xie Xingfeng retreated: "Yeah!"

After saying that, Xie Xingfeng walked towards the car that came to pick him up.

Shen Shenghui said hurriedly: "Director Xie, there is no need to be in such a hurry. Our President Qin also wants to invite you to have lunch with us."

Xie Xingfeng shook his head: "No, I have to rush back to the capital. There are too many things! If Wang Cheng hadn't refused once, I really didn't want him to miss this stage, and I wouldn't have come in person. The program team over there has just set up , there are too many things, I can’t leave at all... Next time, next time I will ask Mr. Qin."

After saying that, Xie Xingfeng waved to Shen Shenghui, got in the car and left.

Shen Shenghui watched Xie Xingfeng leave, turned around and entered the apartment building again, and said to the dormitory aunt at the door: "What did Wang Cheng do in the dormitory before?"

The dormitory aunt knew that the other party was her immediate boss, just like Liu Jinfeng before, but with much more energy than Liu Jinfeng. She did not hide anything at the moment and said: "Wang Cheng, every time I came back from the show, I just read books. Among all the trainees, he is the most well-behaved and enjoys studying the most."

Shen Shenghui nodded. All this information was useless to him. He walked upstairs and came to the door of Wang Cheng's dormitory again. He was about to reach out and push the door and go straight in, but he stopped and knocked lightly.

Tuk tuk…

"Come in!"

Wang Cheng's calm voice came.

Shen Shenghui then pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing that Wang Cheng was still reading, he said seriously: "Wang Cheng, you have completely offended Director Xie. He came to invite you in person, but you refused. This will spread out in the future." , his face will be lost."

Wang Cheng ignored Shen Shenghui and just read his book.

Shen Shenghui continued: "Director Xie is a serious student who graduated from the directing department of Beijing Film Academy. He has worked with several great directors before and has great influence in the Beijing circle. If you offend him, you will end your future acting career. Unless, If you cooperate with several directors from the south, they are always very different from the Beijing circle. Moreover, there won’t be much success.”

silence……

Wang Cheng still ignored Shen Shenghui.

Shen Shenghui was also a little speechless. Although he had experienced this kind of treatment several times, he could not help but be speechless and annoyed. He said in a deep voice: "Besides, you will also implicate the company."

This was the point he wanted to make.

Crash!

The sound of turning pages sounded again.

Shen Shenghui took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then said: "Okay, I won't say anything anymore. Take a break these days. Maybe you won't have any rest time in the future. Unless you are willing to renew your relationship with the company about……"

Shen Shenghui looked at Wang Cheng, whose expression remained calm, and immediately turned around, closed the door, and left without saying much.

Wang Cheng read for a while longer, not taking into consideration what happened with Xie Xingfeng and what Shen Shenghui said. All entertainment industry matters will have nothing to do with him after the contract is over.

Soon, it’s time for lunch!

Wang Cheng came to the cafeteria and had a simple lunch alone.

Most of the other trainees took leave and went home, fearing that the company's turmoil would be affected. The few who didn't go home were training like Zhang Hanwen and would not come back to eat at the training base.

Therefore, Wang Cheng was the only one eating in the cafeteria, and the chef cooked three dishes for him: one meat and two vegetables.

Just finished a meal.

The phone rang...

After taking a look, it was Han Xiao calling.

Wang Cheng picked it up and connected it.

Han Xiao's happy voice came from the phone: "Haha, you answered my call. Have you had lunch?"

Wang Cheng: "Yeah!"

Han Xiao: "Aren't you going to buy a house? I asked my friend to contact a few houses for sale that are more suitable. Do you want to take a look? They are all rough houses without decoration! The price is around 80 million to 100 million. , with an area of ​​about 200 square meters to 400 square meters, all facing the Huangpu River..."

Wang Cheng: "I don't have any money now, so I won't read it."

Han Xiao: "Please urge Penguin Music! The total sales of several of your songs have exceeded 500 million. Your sales volume must be the top sharing contract, right? If you can get 80%, that's 400 million." income! You just need to ask them to advance 100 million sales share to you, and they will definitely agree. You are now their pillar..."

Wang Cheng: "Forget it!"

Advancing the share in advance can be regarded as asking for help. Wang Cheng will not do it. He will just wait for Penguin Music to follow the normal payment process, and it will arrive within a month or two at most.

Finished.

Wang Cheng was about to hang up the phone.

Han Xiao said hurriedly: "Oh, don't hang up. Even if you don't buy it now if you don't have the money, let's go take a look first and choose one that suits our eyes. When the time comes, we can pay directly and go through the formalities."

Wang Cheng thought for a while and agreed: "Well! Let me take a nap while I wait."

Now his manager is in the hands of Rubik's Cube Entertainment. The last time Yu Jinghong from Penguin Entertainment and Qin Yuhai, the boss of Rubik's Cube Entertainment, had a confrontation in front of him, although he didn't take a look at it, he knew it clearly in his heart. He knew that both of them were in It was just a show for him.

However, even after rejecting the price of 6 billion, he knew that Qin Yuhai would definitely not let him leave Rubik's Cube Entertainment.

Therefore, during the remaining nearly two years of the contract, if he has free time, he may be in Shanghai.

The plan to buy a house in Shanghai can go ahead.

Check out the house first...

When the sales share of the song comes down, you can pay directly, then decorate it, and you can move in within half a year at most!

Han Xiao said excitedly: "Okay, I'll wait for you downstairs in two hours."

Wang Cheng: "Yeah!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Seeing that the phone number on the phone was still just a string of digits, Wang Cheng made a note and wrote Han Xiao's name.

This is the fourth phone number he has saved with notes. The first four are his parents and Zhang Hanwen. He has deleted all the ones he saved before. However, even if it is a string of numbers that he has seen before, Wang Cheng can rely on his strong memory to tell who is calling at a glance.

At this time, Wang Cheng saved Han Xiao on his phone.

He sighed softly, a trace of seriousness flashed in his eyes.

For the first time, Wang Cheng included Han Xiao in his evaluation of his future life partner.

certainly.

He would not tell Han Xiao this.

After eating, I went back to the dormitory and took a nap, which lasted two hours.

After getting up, I tidied up a little and went out.

Wang Cheng still wore a mask and a cap, and carried a thermos cup. Under the watchful eye of the dormitory aunt, he waited at the door for a minute. An ordinary family car drove over from the parking lot in the distance. , stopped next to Wang Cheng, Han Xiao poked his head out of the driver's seat and said with a smile: "Get in the car quickly!"

Wang Cheng opened the door and sat in the second row, not the passenger seat.

Han Xiao drove off skillfully and said: "I found an ordinary car to keep a low profile. Let's go to Wenxiu Garden first. There are two houses for sale there, with a total price of about 80 million. , more than 300 square meters. In this community, many top celebrities in the industry have houses."

Upon hearing this, Wang Cheng immediately denied it: "Then I won't go!"

Han Xiao immediately understood Wang Cheng’s choice, not wanting it in a community with people in the entertainment industry!

It needs to be cleaner and the environment better...

At that moment, Han Xiao said: "Well, there are several other properties... I will show you them all this afternoon..."

Wang Cheng hummed.

Han Xiao was smiling all over. Wang Cheng's Nunchaku was played in the car and he hummed along from time to time. He was very happy. He even glanced at Wang Cheng in the rearview mirror, his eyes full of happiness.

This was the first time she called Wang Cheng out and the two of them went to do something together!

…

Southern Guangdong Province.

In the conference room of the Tomorrow Idol program team.

At this time, the conference room was no longer lively and happy as before.

There is only a hint of depression and heaviness!

Guo Shouxin and Liu Jiahui still smoked. Several others also lit cigarettes, and the office was filled with smoke.

Everyone is stressed out!

The latest lottery highlights of the morning have been released.

But……

The feedback is far less than before.

The voice of the person in charge of the data was much softer than before: "The latest lottery video is on Penguin Video, and the number of views so far is only more than 8 million...less than 10% of the same period last week..."

Guo Shouxin took a long puff of cigarette, pressed the cigarette butt into the already full ashtray, and asked calmly: "How many views did the live video that went online yesterday have?"

The person in charge of data immediately said: "It went online one hour after the live broadcast ended yesterday. Twenty hours later, the number of views has exceeded 1.5 billion...The number of viewers is still increasing, and it is estimated that the number of weekly views may exceed 4 billion. .”

"Other countries in Southeast Asia were also launched at the same time, and the playback data are also impressive, with the playback volume exceeding 500 million..."

The person in charge of publicity added: "Wang Cheng's departure from the show is still the hottest topic. From the announcement yesterday to now, the number of people discussing it has exceeded 50 million! Many people are afraid that Wang Cheng will not be seen on our show in the future. Cheng’s performance, so everyone went to watch Wang Cheng’s performance video. The video playback data was also higher.”

The person in charge of data nodded: "Yes, not only is the latest period's data very high, but the data growth rate in previous periods has also increased a lot."

Guo Shouxin asked: "What will be the effect of tilting resources towards Wen Yixiao and Du Wei?"

The person in charge of publicity immediately replied: "The effect is okay, but it is far less explosive than Wang Cheng. Wen Yixiao is now ranked third on the popularity list. The first is the topic of Wang Cheng leaving our program group, and the second is Wang Cheng himself. The third is Wen Yixiao, the fourth is Wang Cheng’s work Nunchaku, the fifth is our program, and the sixth is Du Wei..."

"Although we have stopped giving Wang Cheng any traffic resources, Rubik's Cube Entertainment has not invested any resources in him now. His popularity has dropped significantly, but he is still in the top two positions. Based on the continuous decline in popularity, it will take at least the day after tomorrow for him to drop. We will move down the top two positions. Then we will use Wen Yixiao to rush to the top of the list..."

The person in charge of data said: "The sales volume of Wang Cheng's new song Nunchuck has exceeded 50 million... It has been determined to break the first-day sales record again. The sales volume of Wen Yixiao's new song has also exceeded 20 million, and the sales volume has also reached 20 million. , will definitely be higher than last week!”

"Du Wei's new song sales exceeded 17 million, which can also exceed his own sales data last week."

"Wen Yixiao and Du Wei are worthy of continuing to invest a lot of resources. However, they do not have as many topics and fans as Wang Cheng, so with the same investment of resources, the popularity and topic volume are far less than Wang Cheng!"

The conference room fell silent again.

Liu Jiahui also took a long puff of the cigarette butt, threw it in the ashtray, and said calmly: "Don't be so low-key, everyone. If Wang Cheng leaves, we won't do programs? Even if there is no Wang Cheng, we have Wen Yixiao and Du Wei , the other trainees are not weak either, there are a lot of front-line players, and there are two top Asian girl groups, Pink Era and Flame Youth, so where is this lineup weak?"

An assistant director raised his hand and asked: "Director Guo, Producer Liu, should we change the live broadcast time? If Wang Cheng is not here, our live broadcast at five o'clock will be meaningless. As Producer Liu said, our lineup itself is It is very powerful and luxurious. If it is changed back to the eight o'clock prime time slot and works well, the ratings will not be bad. It is guaranteed to be above 3 o'clock, and it may even reach above 3.5, which is not very far from the 4.3 we had yesterday."

Guo Shouxin and Liu Jiahui shook their heads at the same time.

Guo Shouxin said with certainty: "The live broadcast time will not be changed for the time being, it will still be 5 p.m."

Several people in charge looked at each other, and some inexplicable expressions flashed across their faces.

They all know that Guo Shouxin and Liu Jiahui are still looking forward to Wang Cheng's return.

That’s why I couldn’t bear to change the time.

It will still be broadcast live at 5 p.m.

If the time is changed to the eight o'clock prime time, then Wang Cheng may not come back at all.

However, almost every staff member in the program team is still looking forward to Wang Cheng coming back and continuing to perform on this stage!

After all, the ratings of 4.3...

Who wants to give up?

After hastily ending the meeting, Guo Shouxin left the conference room, picked up the phone and called Lei Zhenzong directly.

Lei Zhenzong had just finished the meeting when he received a call from Guo Shouxin and asked in a serious tone: "Director Guo, what's the matter?"

Guo Shouxin has almost never contacted Lei Zhenzong personally. He is a director, not a producer, and the communication with the company is handled by producer Liu Jiahui.

However, this time Guo Shouxin couldn't help but personally contact Lei Zhenzong, the top CEO of Penguin Entertainment. Hearing Lei Zhenzong's voice, he said: "Mr. Lei, the popularity of the program team has dropped a lot now. This morning's The number of views of the lottery video has dropped by more than 90% compared to the same period last week... The ratings this week may not be too optimistic."

Lei Zhenzong sighed: "I know what you want to say. I have sent someone to contact and negotiate with Rubik's Cube Entertainment and try to negotiate as soon as possible. Wang Cheng will definitely not come back for this weekend's performance. But, what can be done? The price you pay to bring Wang Cheng back depends on your ratings performance."

"You know what I mean?"

Guo Shouxin nodded: "Well, I know, I will try my best!"

Guo Shouxin breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that what Lei Zhenzong conveyed to him was that the head office would bring Wang Cheng back at all costs.

However, the company wants to pay less.

This requires the cooperation of the Tomorrow Idol program team.

For this week's live broadcast, if the ratings are still considerable without Wang Cheng and have not dropped too much, then it means that Wang Cheng's departure will have little impact on tomorrow's idols, and Wang Cheng's importance has also dropped a lot. Penguin The entertainment side has the initiative and can give less benefits to Rubik's Cube Entertainment. If the ratings are high enough, they may give up Wang Cheng directly to avoid being taken advantage of by Rubik's Cube Entertainment.

And if the ratings of Tomorrow's Idol drop significantly, then Rubik's Cube Entertainment will take the initiative. In order to restore the ratings, Penguin Entertainment will naturally bring Wang Cheng back at any cost, and will have no choice but to let Rubik's Cube Entertainment raise conditions. Got it!

so.

Although Wang Cheng is not present in this week's performance.

However, for the program team and Penguin Entertainment, it is more important than any previous issue.

This is their time to prove themselves.

Guo Shouxin put down the phone, rubbed his brow, feeling a headache, and asked: "How are the preparations for Pink Era and Flame Youth?"

Liu Jiahui whispered: "It should be about the same...Didn't you say that you borrowed the recording studio this morning? I asked Lao Wang to cooperate with them."

Guo Shouxin asked: "What did Lao Wang say?"

Liu Jiahui smiled bitterly and said: "Lao Wang called me more than half an hour ago. He said that he missed Wang Cheng..."

Guo Shouxin frowned and asked, "Don't they always want to end their cooperation with Wang Cheng?"

Almost everyone in the program team knew about Lao Wang and the others' complaints about Wang Cheng.

Why is it that now that the cooperation with Wang Cheng has ended, Lao Wang still misses Wang Cheng?

Liu Jiahui shook his head and smiled: "Old Wang said that when working with geniuses, although they look stupid, they are very relaxed. When working with ordinary people, they are very tired and will get scolded... Pink Era adapted Wang Cheng's Jing Wu Men, We also invited Bangguo’s team to re-arrange the music and write lyrics, and they themselves also participated, so it definitely wasn’t as smooth as Wang Cheng!”

"They used to produce outside, but this time they changed the location, which also had some impact..."

Guo Shouxin asked again: "Wen Yixiao and Du Wei are also producing new songs?"

Now, the program team mainly relies on Wen Yixiao and Du Wei, so Guo Shouxin hopes that they can continue to produce high-quality new songs, which is also one of the biggest highlights of the program stage.

Liu Jiahui nodded affirmatively: "Well, this afternoon, teachers Liu Shengjie and Kong Changxing came over and continued to cooperate with them. Teacher Liu Shengjie said that he called Wang Cheng, but no one answered..."

Guo Shouxin was in a slightly better mood: "Fortunately, Liu Shengjie and Kong Changxing took the initiative to help! I couldn't even get through Wang Cheng's phone..."

Both of them felt a little grateful to Liu Shengjie and Kong Changxing. These two top producers came to help on their own initiative and were not invited by them. Although they also signed a supplementary contract and gave them the treatment they deserve, such treatment usually We can't invite them.

These two top gold medal music producers cannot be hired just by having money.

This time they also took a fancy to the strength and potential of Wen Yixiao and Du Wei, so they took the initiative to cooperate and wanted to continue to show their strength and talents.

It is also because of their cooperation with Wen Yixiao and Du Wei that several new songs have been successful, which has also added a lot to the entire tomorrow's idol stage.

Otherwise, if Wang Cheng alone is too outstanding, it will also appear monotonous.

The joining of Liu Shengjie and Kong Changxing produced several high-quality new songs, making Wen Yixiao and Du Wei truly capable and qualified to become the green leaves around Wang Cheng.

Therefore, now that Wang Cheng is gone, Wen Yixiao and Du Weicai have the slightest chance of supporting the stage ratings.

Without the successful accumulation of these new songs, the two would definitely not be so popular now, and the audience's expectations for the stage would have dropped even more.

Liu Jiahui whispered: "I just heard that Wen Yixiao received an invitation to the Spring Festival Gala. She is hesitating whether to go..."

Guo Shouxin glared and said, "Why are you still hesitating?"

Liu Jiahui smiled bitterly and said: "Because, Wang Cheng also accepted it, but refused. This is the second time he refused. The last time he received it, he refused. It is said that this morning, Director Xie went to the Magic City to meet with Wang Cheng in person On the one hand, I wanted to persuade Wang Cheng to join the Spring Festival Gala stage performance, but Wang Cheng refused to change his work and rest time and refused to perform at eight o'clock..."

"The news came from within Rubik's Cube Entertainment. It is said that Director Xie promised a lot of benefits, but in the end Wang Cheng refused."

"Then Mr. Yu received a call from Director Xie, inviting Wen Yixiao to perform in the Spring Festival Gala!"

Guo Shouxin blinked and asked in surprise: "Director Xie personally came to invite Wang Cheng to appear in the Spring Festival Gala?"

He still couldn't believe that this was the first time he had heard of it after being in the industry for more than ten or twenty years.

Liu Jiahui nodded affirmatively and said: "Yes, Director Xie came to see Wang Cheng in person. This is the first time that the director of the Spring Festival Gala program came to invite an artist, and was rejected in the end. Director Xie will definitely be angry... in the future , it is estimated that it will be difficult for Wang Cheng to cooperate with Beijing Circle."

Guo Shouxin digested this information, and then said calmly: "That's just right. If the Beijing circle excludes Wang Cheng, we will take advantage."

Guo Shouxin belongs to the director circle in the south, and he doesn't have much to deal with the directors who are the core of the Beijing circle. He wishes that the Beijing circle would not cooperate with Wang Cheng, so in the Chinese entertainment circle, Wang Cheng's range of choices would be much smaller.

After all, the Beijing circle occupies more than half of the resources and connections in the Chinese entertainment industry. Nortel and Beijing Film and Television are the two major talent bases of the Chinese entertainment industry, and have contributed most of the talent base to the entire Chinese entertainment industry for decades.

Therefore, if anyone offends the big bosses in the Beijing entertainment circle, it will become difficult to move forward in the Chinese entertainment circle.

But……

Wang Cheng is in high demand right now. Even if the Beijing circle excludes him, Guo Shouxin is not afraid of offending Xie Xingfeng and other big bosses in the Beijing circle and will insist on cooperating with Wang Cheng.

In the face of ratings and interests, everything is false!

Liu Jiahui said seriously: "You are so beautiful, Director Zhang, Director Wu will not let it go. I heard that they are all in Magic City now. However, I haven't seen Wang Cheng. They are talking with Rubik's Cube Entertainment. But Rubik’s Cube Entertainment is still talking to Penguin Entertainment..."

"It's really messy!"

Guo Shouxin had a headache after hearing this, and said helplessly: "There is nothing we can do about it now. We can only trust the company. Apart from that, what we can do is to make the program as good as possible and make this episode's ratings as high as possible." It looks better. Otherwise, if the decline is too large, the previous remarks that we are embracing Wang Cheng will be confirmed..."

The two chatted for a few words and then continued to work, trying to do their work as well as possible.

And here in the recording studio.

Wen Yixiao was in excellent condition and completed the song recording first.

Liu Shengjie and Liang Xi both praised him.

Liu Shengjie: "Yixiao, you have made great progress compared to last week. Your current ability is second only to Wang Cheng among young singers. You recorded it in one afternoon."

Wen Yixiao forced a smile and said, "I still need to work hard to improve..."

Liang Xi: "You are so talented and you work so hard. You are the first one I have ever seen!"

Wen Yixiao smiled modestly, said nothing, walked to the corner, picked up the phone, found Wang Cheng's note and dialed.

Toot toot toot…

No one answered!

Wen Yixiao put away the phone. This was the twenty-eighth call she had made to Wang Cheng from yesterday to now. Although none of the calls went through, no one answered.

However, she kept fighting!

Buzzing…

The phone rings again.

Wen Yixiao quickly picked it up and saw Yu Jinghong's name. She was a little disappointed and answered: "Mr. Yu!"

Yu Jinghong knew that Wen Yixiao was in a bad mood and said directly: "Yixiao, how are you considering the invitation to the Spring Festival Gala? We need to give a reply as soon as possible. My suggestion is, next! The Spring Festival Gala will make you very popular. The improvement may help you cross the critical threshold of super giant in time!"

Wen Yixiao whispered: "Wang Cheng didn't go, and I won't go either!"

Yu Jinghong was speechless for two seconds, and then said: "Wang Cheng is willful, and so are you? He has 70 million fans, and you only have more than 41 million... You don't want to close the gap?"

Wen Yixiao said softly: "I don't care about this!"

Yu Jinghong was speechless again.

Because Wen Yixiao is really imitating Wang Cheng now and doesn't care about fans. It has been more than a week since she posted a message on Weibo to interact with fans.

Yu Jinghong had a headache and wanted to say something else.

Wen Yixiao said: "I won't tell you anymore, I'm going to discuss the arrangement with Teacher Liu..."

After saying that, Wen Yixiao hung up the phone.

She is now only focusing on improving the news about herself and Wang Cheng.

She doesn't care about anything else.

After recording the lyrics, Wen Yixiao will also participate in the entire arrangement and learn experience and knowledge from Liu Shengjie, a top gold medal producer.

And it's in the recording room next to it.

The four people from Pink Era are also participating in the re-production of Jing Wu Men.

…

Time flies by...
