This star doesn’t work overtime

The Chinese entertainment market has been very hot in the past few years, and it is easy to make money.

Many TV variety shows that are not well-known can continue to be very nourishing.

However, if the ratings are lower than 0.5, it will definitely be a loss. The TV station and the producer will quickly stop broadcasting and make corrections, or directly cut off the show and start over.

A program with a ratings of 0.2 will definitely be axed.

This shows that almost no one watches it, and it is completely unsuitable for the market and the preferences of today’s young people. Whether it is a TV station or a production investment, they will quickly stop their losses, divest their investment and find another direction!

But.

This variety show with only a ratings of 0.2 even spent a huge price to invite Wang Cheng to the show...

In the eyes of anyone in the industry, this is definitely an unwise behavior of throwing away money. It is definitely a waste of money, and it will still face the situation of being suspended later.

Qin Yuhai was surprised.

Shen Shenghui explained: "It's a small program on the midnight slot of Xiangnan Satellite TV..."

Shonan Satellite TV, midnight slot?

Qin Yuhai was even more surprised: "How much did Xiangnan Satellite TV pay?"

Shen Shenghui: "Forty-five million, one issue!"

this price……

In terms of the industry, it is indeed a sky-high price, but it is in line with Wang Cheng's current market conditions and popularity in the industry, and is not too high for Wang Cheng.

Qin Yuhai: "Why did they spend so much money to invite Wang Cheng to appear on the midnight show?"

Shen Shenghui said with a smile: "Director Zhang Huizhong came to me personally twice and wanted to invite Wang Cheng to the show. The flagship program of Xiangnan Satellite TV also sent me several invitations. I refused them both because they knew about our conflict with Wang Cheng. , knowing that we can’t let Wang Cheng appear on ace programs and big-budget programs with guaranteed ratings.”

"So, they used this midnight show to send out invitations and the price was right, so I agreed."

"The midnight show will not increase Wang Cheng's popularity. The ratings are only 0.2. If Wang Cheng is gone, it will not increase the ratings much."

"At that time, Wang Cheng's popularity should have a big impact. Especially in the variety show market, the price of subsequent invitations may drop off a cliff and return to the normal price of a super star."

"Xiannan Satellite TV may want to build a relationship with us and Wang Cheng through this program, or it may want to invest in the long term and continue to invite Wang Cheng to their flagship program in the future..."

The normal price for a super star slot is around 10 million at most for one program announcement. However, this year’s Wang Cheng and Wen Yixiao both exceeded the normal super star price. Even the price advertised for Han Xiao’s show was not higher than the super star price. Hugely low.

Hear Shen Shenghui’s analysis.

Qin Yuhai's expression was complicated. He didn't know whether to be happy or sad. He asked in a complicated tone: "Can you recover in the future?"

Shen Shenghui said affirmatively: "Of course, Wang Cheng's appearance, temperament and strength are there. Let him appear on a few music variety shows in the future to show his advantages, and he can quickly recover his lost popularity. Mr. Qin, We can only find a way to keep Wang Cheng here first, and then consider other things!"

Qin Yuhai nodded: "I understand, go and do your work!"

Shen Shenghui stood up to say goodbye. After walking out of Qin Yuhai's office, he picked up the phone and called Wang Cheng.

Buzz buzz...

No one answered!

Shen Shenghui was used to it and didn't care. Anyway, he would just pick up Wang Cheng and take him to the airport tomorrow morning to go to Xiangnan Satellite TV.

…

Wang Cheng had dinner with Zhang Hanwen in the evening.

I ordered two vegetarian dishes and two bowls of rice from a small restaurant near the apartment dormitory.

Zhang Hanwen ordered a plate of braised pork and while eating, he looked at Wang Cheng eating light vegetarian dishes and said with a smile: "Are you really planning to live to be a hundred years old?"

Wang Cheng nodded and said seriously: "Of course, I advise you to take good care of yourself."

Zhang Hanwen: "I am in good health! You are two years younger than me, what are you afraid of?"

What are you afraid of?

A trace of complexity flashed in Wang Cheng's eyes.

In his previous life, he was tortured to death by illness when he was only in his fifties. Only those who have experienced it can know what he is afraid of.

Wang Cheng was silent.

Zhang Hanwen changed the subject: "Wang Cheng, you are so awesome. I didn't expect you to be able to control a program team. It's awesome! By the way, I heard that you were the one who edited the film in the end? Is it true or false?"

Wang Cheng nodded.

Zhang Hanwen gave a thumbs up: "Awesome! Performing with you this time, I learned something again. When I go back tomorrow, I will continue to work hard, study hard, and master more skills. I don't have to worry about too much art. I believe that no matter what No matter how the company hides me, as long as I have the ability, I will become popular sooner or later."

Zhang Hanwen knew that Wang Cheng asked him to come to this performance. After it ended, he was still the older trainee who was hidden by the company.

As long as Wang Cheng does not renew his contract with Rubik's Cube Entertainment, he will always be hidden by Rubik's Cube Entertainment and used as a bargaining chip to threaten Wang Cheng.

He has accepted it calmly, and now he just wants to improve himself and perform well after the contract ends.

Wang Cheng nodded to Zhang Hanwen again, confirming his idea.

Zhang Hanwen added: "By the way, do you want to upload the commercial song this time? It sounds so good, and with me and Ziqi dancing for you, the effect of the mv will definitely explode! I had a hunch when I performed that it would definitely become a hit. If you upload it, the sales will definitely not be bad. Recently, many people are producing and releasing new songs. Some people say that you are scared. I think you should release a song to prove yourself..."

Wang Cheng asked calmly: "What to prove?"

Zhang Hanwen was stunned for a moment, then said: "Prove that you are something they can never surpass!"

Wang Cheng still smiled lightly and said, "Does this need proof?"

Forehead……

Zhang Hanwen was stunned again, thinking that the sales of all Wang Cheng's works since his debut have exceeded 100 million, and almost all of the online sales records are Wang Cheng's personal records.

It seems that there is really nothing to prove.

Zhang Hanwen smiled and said: "There is really no need to prove it! However, many of your fans are waiting for you to upload new songs. That farewell song, the new song you sang at the last concert, and this advertisement Song! You don’t know how many people on the Internet are asking you to upload your works every day.”

"A song can bring you hundreds of millions in sales, and the share you receive will not be less than 80 million, right? You can make money, so save more money!"

Wang Cheng is also relatively indifferent about making money: "I already have too much money to spend and I am too lazy to go to the recording studio to record songs. They want to wait, so let's keep waiting."

All right……

Zhang Hanwen could only give a thumbs up again: "Awesome, powerful, but willful."

Just go to a recording studio and record a song and you can earn hundreds of millions!

Too lazy to go!

Tens of millions of fans were eagerly awaiting it, but they didn't bother to pay attention.

He really didn't know what to say.

If word spreads, many musicians, singers, and celebrities may become so depressed that they want to commit suicide.

After dinner.

Zhang Hanwen took a taxi and left back to his dormitory.

Wang Cheng also walked back to the dormitory apartment alone.

Before he returned to the dormitory and sat down, the phone call came to his mind again. Wang Cheng glanced at it and saw that it was a string of numbers without a note, so he didn't bother to answer it. Although this string of numbers was very familiar and he had called him often, he should know him. , but he was too lazy to answer...

Then, several unknown numbers called one after another, but he didn't answer.

While soaking her feet, Han Xiao's name lit up.

Wang Cheng answered the call: "Yes!"

Han Xiao quickly said: "Wang Cheng, I heard the news that you are going to appear on Xiangnan Satellite TV tomorrow?"

Wang Cheng's eyes flashed with surprise, and then quickly regained his composure: "I don't know!"

Han Xiao: "The news I just saw on the official social account of Xiangnan Satellite TV announced that you will be recording a program tomorrow. It is a midnight program called Country Life. Don't you even know this news?"

Wang Cheng: "I don't know yet. I didn't answer a few calls just now. Maybe the company wants to notify me!"

Han Xiao was speechless. If he didn't answer calls from his agent and agency, Wang Cheng was the only one in the entire entertainment industry. Then he explained: "That should be true. Do you know about this show?"

Wang Cheng answered truthfully: "I don't know!"

Han Xiao: "I just checked. This program is a midnight variety show on Hunan Satellite TV. The host invites some local celebrities to experience life in the countryside. The ratings have always been very low. It is said that it is only about 0.2, the lowest ever. Before midnight, it was supposed to stop airing, but there were no good options for new programs, so it was still airing for the time being..."

"The Rubik's Cube Entertainment may have deliberately disgusted you, so it gave you the notice to accept this show."

"Otherwise, don't go and go on strike!"

Han Xiao was a little angry, feeling that Rubik's Cube Entertainment was teaming up with Hunan TV to bully Wang Cheng.

A rating of 0.2, still a midnight slot, still going to the countryside to experience life...

Who will watch this show?

No wonder there are no ratings.

but.

Wang Cheng's eyes lit up after hearing this.

Going to the countryside to experience life?

Is there such a good thing?

Can I go fishing?

Can you go hiking and winding?

A smile emerged from the corner of Wang Cheng's mouth, and he said lightly: "It's okay, it's just work, just go ahead and go."

Han Xiao immediately stopped trying to persuade her. She knew what Wang Cheng had decided, so she couldn't object. She immediately said, "How about I talk to Sister Jing and I go to participate too?"

Wang Cheng: "It's up to you!"

He has no control over what other people want to be on, and he doesn't want to.

Han Xiao also became excited. Being on the show with Wang Cheng was what she wanted to do most.

No matter what the midnight slot is, no matter what the ratings are, no matter whether it is rural or not...

As long as I can be with Wang Cheng.

Han Xiao smiled and said: "Okay, then we will meet at Xiangnan Satellite TV."

Wang Cheng didn't speak. He would not answer any agreement made by others. This would reduce worries and be beneficial to physical and mental health.

It was enough for Han Xiao to know that Wang Cheng was listening, and continued: "By the way, have you finished shooting your commercial? I heard that it was shot with Hanwen and Zhu Ziqi?"

Wang Cheng: "Well, the filming is finished."

Han Xiao was a little worried. She was worried that Hongxing would go bankrupt within a few days of the commercial going online, and Wang Cheng might take the blame. However, she didn't tell Wang Cheng, but she was also envious that Zhu Ziqi could perform and film with Wang Cheng. Advertising, even if Hongxing goes bankrupt in the future, this will be Wang Cheng's first advertisement, which has special significance.

If you're unhappy, don't talk about it.

Han Xiao changed the subject: "Thank you for your hard work. After recording the Xiangnan Satellite TV program, I will take you to see the new house? I heard that you have to repay the loan in advance, and they can't wait. The decoration company and the construction team are also waiting. With your design..."

Wang Cheng: "Okay, just let me know when the time comes. I've already drawn the design."

Han Xiao: "That's good. I know your bedtime is coming soon, so I won't disturb you. Go to bed early. Goodbye!"

Wang Cheng: "Goodbye!"

hang up the phone.

Wang Cheng is somewhat looking forward to the new program announcement.

village life……

This is the life he wants to live after his contract expires and he regains his freedom.

Find a mountain village with beautiful scenery and live a secluded life.

Now, it would be great to experience it in advance.

In a good mood, Wang Cheng picked up the book and started reading. After reading for a while, he finished soaking his feet and went to bed.

…

The news that Wang Cheng was going to appear on Xiangnan Satellite TV was not a flagship program of Xiangnan Satellite TV, nor was it a big-budget new program, but a late-night program with low ratings. The news quickly spread in the circle!

Wen Yixiao also called Wang Cheng as soon as she saw the news. Unfortunately, Wang Cheng didn't answer. Then she immediately called Yu Jinghong directly. After getting through, she said directly: "Mr. Yu, Xiangnan Satellite TV's Country Life, I must go to the recording session tomorrow!"

Yu Jinghong had just finished a meeting and was a little confused when she received a call from Wen Yixiao. She didn't know what happened, so she immediately asked Mo Jinhua next to her.

Mo Jinhua immediately checked on the Internet and found out that Wang Cheng would record this program tomorrow. This program was a midnight program with a ratings of only 0.2, and there was a risk of it being suspended at any time. .

Such a program...

Slightly bigger celebrities will never go, and even second-tier celebrities will refuse.

Only those local celebrities and celebrity artists who have not worked hard to earn a living on the second line will accept the announcement of such a show...

With Wen Yixiao's status as a celebrity, it would really be too low-status for her to go to this show.

Yu Jinghong quickly read the news and looked at Mo Jinhua.

Mo Jinhua whispered: "Wen Yixiao was a little angry last time. Let her go this time, otherwise she may really leave. She is a character who is soft on the outside but strong on the inside! Now she is most obsessed with Wang Cheng If we keep stopping her from seeing Wang Cheng, it will definitely be counterproductive..."

Yu Jinghong also thought for a moment, then smiled at Wen Yixiao and said, "Okay, Yixiao. I will communicate with Xiangnan Satellite TV immediately!"

Wen Yixiao emphasized her tone again and said seriously: "Mr. Yu, I said last time that if you can't fulfill my requirements in the future, then I will find another company that can fulfill my requirements!"

Yu Jinghong immediately smiled and said: "Yixiao, don't worry, our Penguin Entertainment is definitely the most influential entertainment company in the Chinese entertainment industry. If we can't complete it, then other companies won't be able to complete it either!"

Wen Yixiao: "What you failed to do last time, Xiangjiang Entertainment did it."

Yu Jinghong was silent for two seconds, and then she still smiled and said: "That was a mistake. We didn't expect it. It's not that we can't do it. We won't do it next time!"

Wen Yixiao: "Okay, I believe you, Mr. Yu!"

After saying that, Wen Yixiao hung up the phone.

Yu Jinghong looked serious and said to Mo Jinhua: "This time, no matter the cost, we must let Wen Yixiao go to that program group to record the program. By the way, what is the name of the program?"

Mo Jinhua also said seriously: "Country life!"

Yu Jinghong: "They only have a ratings of 0.2, but they still have to spend money to invite Wang Cheng? How much did it cost?"

Mo Jinhua quickly asked a few acquaintances at Xiangnan Satellite TV on her mobile phone, and then replied to Yu Jinghong: "It is said that a single issue is about 40 million!"

Yu Jing was stunned for a moment, then said: "Who are the investors of this show? Are they sick?"

Mo Jinhua: "It was invested by Xiangnan Satellite TV and Xiangjiang Entertainment!"

Yu Jinghong shook her head, and roughly understood the reason for the other party's actions, and immediately said: "Wen Yixiao's notification fee can be appropriately reduced."

Mo Jinhua: "If we take the initiative to go, the announcement fee won't be too high! Their production fee for the previous season was only tens of millions, so they can't afford too much money. After all, it's just a midnight show, and it's just for the duration." "

Yu Jinghong was speechless again.

The production cost for one season is only tens of millions, and one episode is only about one million. Now you are spending 40 million to hire Wang Cheng to record one episode?

There's something wrong with this program, isn't it?

Yu Jinghong no longer worries about this, she just wants to fulfill Wen Yixiao's request and repair the rift with Wen Yixiao: "Contact them now!"

Mo Jinhua nodded: "Okay, I'll call now!"
