This star doesn’t work overtime

Chapter 346 344. Amazing asking price, how much is Wang Cheng worth?

Qin Yuhai and Shen Shenghui looked at Wang Cheng in a daze...

Wang Cheng frowned slightly, looked at the two of them and said lightly again: "I'm going to rest..."

Qin Yuhai and Shen Shenghui woke up immediately, knowing that Wang Cheng was driving people away, and Wang Cheng had already said it just now, but they were distracted and did not leave immediately. At that moment, they both stood up quickly.

Qin Yuhai smiled and said: "Sorry, I was distracted by my thoughts just now. Well, Wang Cheng, since you are going to rest, we won't disturb your rest here. However, you should think carefully about what we just said to you. We definitely have The greatest sincerity. Rubik’s Cube Entertainment is the greatest achievement of my life, but in order to keep you, I am willing to give you the company I have worked for my whole life..."

Shen Shenghui also helped: "Wang Cheng, Mr. Qin also cares about you very much. Any program you appear on, he will care about you in detail. He will tell me every day to take good care of your daily life, so I arranged three assistants for you. .”

Wang Cheng ignored the two of them, picked up the phone in the guest room and said, "Send me a bucket of hot water for soaking my feet. No need to put anything in, just plain water!"

Qin Yuhai and Shen Shenghui looked at each other and stopped talking nonsense.

"Well, Wang Cheng, you go to bed early. We're leaving first. We're also staying in this hotel. If you need anything, you can call us at any time."

Qin Yuhai said something again, turned around and left.

Shen Shenghui also smiled and said goodbye to Wang Cheng again, waved to the three assistants, and left Wang Cheng's room together.

Seeing everyone leave, Wang Cheng's face showed a hint of relaxation. The time he enjoyed alone was the time he enjoyed most. He could do whatever he wanted without having to listen to all kinds of nonsense.

Sitting on the sofa, he took out a book and read it quietly. After a while, hot water for soaking feet was brought to the guest room, and a bucket specially used for soaking feet was also used. Wang Cheng smiled slightly and put his feet into the warm water. Enjoy it comfortably in the suitable hot water...

Qin Yuhai and Shen Shenghui left Wang Cheng's room and went directly to the room they had reserved in advance, which was on the floor below Wang Cheng's room.

Buzz buzz...

Buzz buzz...

Their phones also kept ringing.

However, neither of them answered any phone calls.

Whether it was calls from TV station leaders, major variety show directors and producers, major film and television directors, or calls from leading professors at major music and art schools and film and television art schools, they all pretended not to have seen it...

After Qin Yuhai returned to his room, he kept sitting on the sofa, constantly thinking about the meeting with Wang Cheng just now, leaning on the sofa a little weakly, feeling that he really had nowhere to start!

He really has nothing more to give to Wang Cheng. Giving Wang Cheng 50% of the company's equity is already the most extreme. If he gives more, he won't have many shares left. What's his gain? It will fall short of expectations and become meaningless.

Apart from the equity in Rubik's Cube Entertainment, he has nothing worth selling.

Wang Cheng has already bought a luxury house in Shanghai, and he will not give away any more houses. Wang Cheng himself has been snapped up by various circles in the entertainment industry, so he does not need to commit any more company resources...

As for sending money directly?

He may not have as much cash as Wang Cheng now, and he can see that Wang Cheng himself really doesn't care much about money.

Tuk-tuk-tuk...

There was a knock on the door. Qin Yuhai closed his eyes and said lightly: "Come in!"

Shen Shenghui opened the door and walked in, saying seriously: "I asked three assistants, Yu Jinghong did have contact with Wang Cheng in the elevator, and that's what they talked about. It seems that Penguin Entertainment has really spent a lot of money."

Qin Yuhai still closed his eyes and said softly: "How did Wang Cheng answer at that time?"

Shen Shenghui: "Ignore it! In other words, reject it! It seems that Wang Cheng is really not targeting our Rubik's Cube Entertainment. He looks down on all entertainment companies! Could it be that when his contract expires in the future, he wants to set up a business by himself? A company, or studio?”

Setting up a personal studio is a routine operation for many big-name stars. This allows them to have great autonomy. At the same time, the studio is affiliated with a large company and can rely on the channel resources of the large company. However, it is also necessary to give up part of the equity. necessary.

Qin Yuhai opened his eyes: "Wang Cheng wants to set up his own personal studio?"

Shen Shenghui shook his head gently: "I just made a wild guess. His lazy look doesn't look like he wants to set up a studio. Mr. Qin, I think Wang Cheng may really want to leave the entertainment industry temporarily after his contract expires." , so he doesn’t want to tie himself down by renewing his contract with any company.”

Qin Yuhai also nodded slightly: "He does look like he is retired."

The two fell silent again.

Thinking that if Wang Cheng is really determined to retire, then they really can't keep Wang Cheng...

What to do?

Shen Shenghui asked in a low voice: "Mr. Qin, are our plans still going ahead?"

Qin Yuhai also had a look of hesitation and thinking on his face.

If Wang Cheng is determined to retire, then their plans against Wang Cheng seem to be meaningless.

Because it is impossible for Wang Cheng to renew his contract...

Qin Yuhai asked softly: "Is it possible to give up his idea of ​​retiring? Just continue with this plan?"

Shen Shenghui fell silent, thought for a moment, and said: "First of all, what is certain is that Wang Cheng is a perfectionist with a strong obsessive-compulsive disorder. He will want to be perfect and do his best in everything. Including contract execution , all the same! That’s why he never terminated the contract with us, because that would not be perfect..."

Qin Yuhai's mouth twitched as he listened to Shen Shenghui's analysis of Wang Cheng's character. He really couldn't understand such an obsessive-compulsive perfectionist.

However, his inability to understand did not prevent him from respecting Wang Cheng.

because……

Wang Cheng really did it.

Do it, do everything to perfection.

There are many obsessive-compulsive disorders in the world, and there are also many people who claim to be perfectionists.

However, there are only a few people who can actually implement the slogans they shout. In other words, Qin Yuhai has not seen any of them.

Most people want to use this to create a personality for themselves.

Except Wang Cheng.

Wang Cheng has never shouted such slogans to establish himself as a person, but only silently followed his own principles.

You don’t have to understand such a person, or you can say that you can’t do it, but you must show enough respect for them.

A trace of respect for Wang Cheng also appeared on Shen Shenghui's face, and then he continued to say seriously: "So, we can continue to make a fuss about this point to implement our original plan. Still the same, we still deliberately find some for him It’s an unpopular show that’s not popular, so give him some difficult announcements…”

"Let's break his principles!"

Qin Yuhai's eyes lit up slightly: "To prevent him from being perfect, so that his obsessive-compulsive perfectionism cannot continue to be implemented?"

Shen Shenghui nodded: "Yes, if he is unable to continue to implement his obsessive-compulsive perfectionism, his retirement plan may be shelved. At that time, we will offer the best and most sincere terms to renew the contract. He has the best chance of staying with the company."

Qin Yuhai's expression cheered up, and he sat upright, tapping his fingers on the table, constantly thinking about the feasibility. The mobile phones of the two people on the table were still flashing, showing incoming calls one by one, and then went out. Then it will flash again within ten seconds...

After thinking for a few minutes and seeing how many unanswered calls had been added to the two's phone calls, Qin Yuhai slowly said: "Okay, then you can continue to implement the plan! Anyway, we have no more options for the time being..."

Shen Shenghui immediately said: "Then let's take action now and screen variety show announcements for Wang Cheng. Moreover, so many people in the film and television industry are interesting, so we can't waste it. We can try to screen some bad movies and give Wang Cheng one How is the role?”

Qin Yuhai thought for a moment with his eyes fixed, and then shook his head slightly: "Let's put aside the film and television industry for the time being, and don't let Wang Cheng enter the film and television industry too quickly! Even if you choose some bad movies and bad roles for him, but if he does a good job, What? Is he popular? His popular fan base is there. Once he performs well, it will definitely become popular..."

Shen Shenghui also fell silent for a moment, knowing that once Wang Cheng became successful in the film and television industry, it would be at least twice as difficult to renew the contract.

The announcements he had previously arranged for Wang Cheng were all carefully selected niche programs that were not popular. However, they were still popular due to Wang Cheng's guidance. So far, they have achieved the miracle of twice having a ratings of over 5.

What if Wang Cheng continues this situation to the film and television industry?

Shen Shenghui: "Then for the time being, should we only accept variety show announcements?"

Qin Yuhai nodded: "Well, for the time being, he will be limited to the variety show circle. He himself will not take the initiative to develop the film and television industry. He is already at the top of the music circle and has little interest now."

Shen Shenghui: "Well, that's true. Several music platforms such as Penguin Music are trying their best to poach Wang Cheng and let Wang Cheng release songs, but Wang Cheng doesn't show any interest. Then, I'll just accept the variety show announcement. I'll wait. I just chose to answer the phone..."

"However, this time Wang Cheng created a ratings of 5.2 on Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV. Even if the advertising fee is as high as nearly 300 million, they will still make a profit. In the long run, it will be a huge profit. Then Wang Cheng's next advertising fee will be How much do we want?”

Regarding this issue, the two people also have very complicated feelings.

They had never dreamed before that Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV could make huge profits by paying Wang Cheng nearly 300 million in single-issue announcement fees...

Before the show was broadcast, no one dared to think that something like this would happen. Insiders in the industry were waiting for Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV to suffer a big loss.

But now, in the face of the 5.2 ratings, any negative thoughts will pale in comparison, and the 290 million single-issue announcement fee will not seem that much.

so……

Wang Cheng's value cannot be measured by 290 million.

But……

How much should it cost?

Qin Yuhai: "It's up to you to decide how much they can offer. There are really not many TV stations across the country that can spend more than 300 million in advertising fees at one time!"

The annual budget of a small local TV station may only be a few hundred million. How could it be possible to spend hundreds of millions to invite Wang Cheng alone?

What can be taken out is nothing more than a few major local commercial TV stations and Yangma!

However, if it was an invitation from Yang Ma, even if Yang Ma was really willing to give so much, Qin Yuhai would not dare to really ask for it...

Shen Shenghui nodded: "Understood, I'll look at the situation!"

As he said that, Shen Shenghui happened to see Zhang Huizhong call again. The great variety show director of Xiangnan Satellite TV had called him at least a dozen times. He immediately decided on the direction of the plan and directly answered Zhang Huizhong's call.

Zhang Huizhong was also staying at a hotel near Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV. He had been calling Shen Shenghui since he came back, but he never got through. He thought that no one would answer this time, but he didn't expect that the answer came all of a sudden, which made him a little confused. I didn't react, I was stunned.

It wasn't until Shen Shenghui's voice came on the phone that he woke up Zhang Huizhong and said hurriedly: "Director Shen, I'm sorry, I was distracted just now."

Shen Shenghui: "Director Zhang, I'm sorry that I forgot to bring my phone because I had something to do before, so I didn't receive calls from many people."

Zhang Huizhong: "It's okay. Director Shen can be said to be the busiest person in the industry now. It's normal for him to forget to pick up his mobile phone when he is busy. By the way, Director Shen, I would like to ask about Wang Cheng's variety show announcement. On behalf of Hunan Satellite TV, I would like to invite Wang Cheng went to Xiangnan Satellite TV to present a program, a music variety show called Golden Songs of Time."

Shen Shenghui: "Oh, I know that variety show invited many veteran singers from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Mainland China to sing their representative works of the year. The ratings and popularity were not low."

Zhang Huizhong: "I have a deputy director position in the program team. We would like to invite Wang Cheng to the last episode of the program. The advertising fee is 400 million, how about it?"

One phase, 400 million?

Even though Shen Shenghui was mentally prepared in advance and knew that Wang Cheng's new announcement fee would definitely increase again, his hands still shook when he heard the figure of 400 million for a single period.

Qin Yuhai, who was standing next to him, opened his eyes slightly when he heard this number. He was very surprised and a little emotional!

Wang Cheng had just received a notice fee of 290 million for a single period from Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV, and within two days, Hunan Satellite TV offered a super high price of 400 million for a single period...

If he agrees, Wang Cheng can get 690 million in advertising fees for just two episodes...

As Wang Cheng's agency, Rubik's Cube Entertainment can instantly become the most profitable company in the entire Chinese entertainment industry!

When did it become so easy to make money?

but……

Qin Yuhai shook his head gently at Shen Shenghui. He didn't want to cooperate with Xiangnan Satellite TV yet. Wang Cheng had already cooperated once before, making Xiangnan Satellite TV a huge profit and adding a popular ace program!

Now, he does not want Hunan Satellite TV to get more benefits and prevent Hunan Satellite TV from reappearing in the situation of being the only one company in the past.

Television stations do not want a single entertainment giant to emerge, as they are afraid of being choked by one giant. Similarly, entertainment groups do not want one TV station to be the only one, so their choice of celebrity artists will be much smaller, and they will also have no bargaining power.

Shen Shenghui also said with a little regret: "Director Zhang, you are very sincere. However, I can't answer you yet. I will first contact other invitations and compare them, and then combine them with Wang Cheng's own opinions. Once the results are available, I will How about I get back to you as soon as possible?"

Zhang Huizhong heard the rejection in Shen Shenghui's mouth and said hurriedly: "Director Shen, we really want to cooperate with Wang Cheng again. If you are not satisfied, you can raise it again. The 400 million notice fee for a single period is not our bottom line. , we can add more!”

When Shen Shenghui and Qin Yuhai heard this, their fingers trembled at the same time.

Isn’t 400 million the bottom line?

Can you add more?

How valuable is Wang Cheng in the variety show circle now?

When Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV invited Wang Cheng two days ago, they were willing to increase the notification fee from 250 million to 290 million to show their sincerity. So what is the bottom line of Hunan Satellite TV?

In other words, how much is a rating of five points or above worth?
