This star doesn’t work overtime

Chapter 354 352. The more aloof, the more fans like it? An invitation from a major international director?

Ma Guiqiang, Tang Ping, and Zou Bing all tried to talk to Wang Cheng several times.

However, when they saw Wang Cheng sitting there quietly reading a book, they couldn't speak.

Especially Tang Ping, when she saw Wang Cheng's peerless profile and temperament that were as quiet as time, she couldn't bear to speak to break the tranquility.

Ma Guiqiang and Zou Bing were worried about making Wang Cheng unhappy, so they didn't dare to speak!

For a while...

When the car arrived at the hotel, it was very quiet inside, except for the sound of Shen Shenghui and Ma Guiqiang's phones constantly vibrating and ringing.

However, none of them answered the phone in the car. It was not until the car arrived at the hotel, the door opened, and Wang Cheng got out of the car with his backpack on his back that everyone in the car breathed a sigh of relief!

Ma Guiqiang immediately said to Shen Shenghui: "Director Shen, when will we sign the contract?"

Now, although Wang Cheng has come to the capital, he has not signed the contract after all. Ma Guiqiang is still very worried. If Wang Cheng and Rubik's Cube Entertainment are unhappy and leave directly, and are poached by other TV stations, then he will really I will cry to death, and the whole TV station will be happy for nothing.

Signing the contract immediately was the focus of his visit to the airport today.

Shen Shenghui's cell phone rang again, and he was hesitant to answer it.

Because what was displayed on the phone was a big shot in the industry, a big shot figure that Rubik's Cube Entertainment did not dare to offend easily.

Shen Shenghui said casually: "I can sign the contract at any time!"

Ma Guiqiang immediately said excitedly: "Okay, I brought the contract. As soon as the contract is signed, we will pay the announcement fee in full directly without waiting for the recording of the program to end. Wang Cheng's dedication is well-known in the industry!"

Tang Ping next to her immediately took out a stack of contracts from her bag and handed them to Shen Shenghui with both hands.

Shen Shenghui was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Ma Guiqiang to be so anxious. He didn't refuse immediately. He took the contract, ran two steps to catch up with Wang Cheng, and said to Wang Cheng: "Wang Cheng, do you want to take a look at the contract of Beijing TV? "

Every time, as long as it involves Wang Cheng's contract, Wang Cheng must personally fulfill the purpose. This is something that Shen Shenghui and others do not dare to violate.

This is one of the reasons why Shen Shenghui respects and is cautious about Wang Cheng.

Because, from this, it can be seen that Wang Cheng is not that easy to fool, he knows how to protect himself, but he is too lazy to pay attention to ordinary things.

In other words, Wang Cheng's bottom line to protect himself is different from other celebrities.

Wang Cheng hummed slightly, took the contract and read it.

This contract is also a simple standard contract. It is the same as the contracts signed by most celebrities in the industry. Wang Cheng has seen several contracts before.

However, the amount involved by Beijing Satellite TV is the largest.

After looking at some of the details and clauses, there were no traps. Wang Cheng handed it to Shen Shenghui and walked into the elevator. The three assistants quickly followed.

Shen Shenghui did not follow, but turned to Ma Guiqiang and others and said, "Director Ma, it's time to sign the contract!"

Ma Guiqiang, Tang Ping, and Zou Bing all confirmed one thing in their hearts, that is, Wang Cheng was not controlled by Rubik's Cube Entertainment. Some rumors said that Wang Cheng was too young and didn't understand anything, and had been turned into a money-maker by Rubik's Cube Entertainment. puppet.

Obviously, this rumor is definitely a rumor!

They believed that if Wang Cheng had objected just now, the contract might not be signed.

Moreover, Wang Cheng's indifferent look along the way made Shen Shenghui dare not even answer the phone, which also proved Wang Cheng's status within Rubik's Cube Entertainment Company.

Ma Guiqiang smiled and said: "Okay, let's sign the contract. Once it's signed, I'll take the contract back to the leader in Taili for confirmation, and the notification fee will be immediately transferred to your company's account. We in Taili had already raised it last night Got the funds!”

Tang Ping also said: "Our program team has been discussing cooperation with Wang Cheng. This is our first time to produce a live program!"

Shen Shenghui was slightly surprised: "Live broadcast?"

Only then did Shen Shenghui notice that the live broadcast time was written on the contract!

Tang Ping nodded and said: "Yes, we discussed it. Wang Cheng just performed very well during Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV's live broadcast at 5pm, and we also plan to live broadcast at 5pm tomorrow."

Shen Shenghui was speechless.

Each TV station has made constant concessions to Wang Cheng. From Tomorrow's Idol to I Am an Actor, and now Beijing TV's midnight arena, all have been changed to live broadcast at 5 p.m.

The time period from 5 pm to 7 pm that no one watched before has almost become a prime time period.

However, Shen Shenghui won't stop it, as long as it's not the prime time at eight o'clock, it doesn't matter.

and……

He doesn't care much about the ratings anymore.

What he wants is to suppress Wang Cheng's image and reduce Wang Cheng's fan base.

Or, it can also be said that he wants to knock Wang Cheng down from the sky and make Wang Cheng's obsessive-compulsive perfectionism unable to persist. Then he can persuade Wang Cheng step by step to stop thinking about withdrawing from the industry and persuade Wang Cheng to continue to stay. Only after entering the entertainment industry can we find a way to persuade Wang Cheng to renew his contract!

Shen Shenghui felt helpless, feeling that he was working for the entire entertainment industry.

Before, he was just trying to get Wang Cheng to renew his contract, but now he wants to keep Wang Cheng in the entertainment industry first, but he can't be sure to convince Wang Cheng to stay in the entertainment industry and then stay in Rubik's Cube Entertainment. Then he will have to face the competition of the entire entertainment industry. Grab and compete.

Isn't this making a contribution to other entertainment companies?

The few people did not follow Wang Cheng upstairs, but went to the hotel conference room. After confirming again that the contract was OK, they officially signed the contract. After the signing was completed, several people from Beijing Satellite TV breathed a sigh of relief. Now they could finally gather everyone with confidence. Resources and power were poured into this program, so I said goodbye and left immediately, returning to Beijing Satellite TV to make full preparations.

When Shen Shenghui returned to the hotel, he picked up the phone and called Qin Yuhai first to report the situation here.

However, Qin Yuhai said: "I contacted Qin Mo. She said she wanted to reorganize a crew, and I gave her another three million!"

Shen Shenghui was surprised: "Uh... why do we need to reorganize a crew?"

Qin Yuhai also said in a helpless tone: "She said that the previous script was not good, so she found a new script, added some Internet elements, and the original actors had to be changed! I contacted the producer who followed her, The producer said that the eldest lady had too many ideas and no one could control her, so she did whatever she wanted and often scolded the actors. The crew was about to collapse, so she simply drove them all away. Reorganize a crew..."

Shen Shenghui was silent and had nothing to say about this. He could only say that he was a rich second generation and could do whatever he wanted.

Of course, he knows that the most important thing is that this year due to Wang Cheng's relationship, Rubik's Cube Entertainment's financial situation is very good, and its status in the industry is also rising. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most influential, so it can have money and resources. Let Qin Mo mess around.

Anyway, it was only a few million investments, and it offended some unknown actors, and the other party would definitely not care about a young lady like Qin Mo.

only……

Shen Shenghui said again: "Mr. Qin, isn't this kind of crew just right for Wang Cheng?"

Qin Yuhai: "What will Qin Mo do if he offends Wang Cheng?"

Shen Shenghui: "Mr. Qin is worrying too much. Qin Mo is a loyal fan of Wang Cheng. She will scold other actors, but she will never scold Wang Cheng. Instead, she may follow Wang Cheng in everything. Of course, this is not the point, the point is , Mr. Qin will definitely be able to think of what Qin Mo will look like when he does this nonsense."

"At that time, no matter what Qin Mo and Wang Cheng produce, we will release it through the company's channels with all our strength so that more people can see it! The box office may not be low. After all, Wang Cheng's popularity and fan base are terrible , but the image of an actor that Wang Cheng has just established in I Am an Actor may collapse."

Qin Yuhai hesitated. He had greater expectations for Wang Cheng and didn't want to ruin Wang Cheng's actor foundation with a bad movie.

after all……

Compared with variety shows and the like, film and television dramas are the foundation and bulk of the entertainment industry.

No big-name actor can resist the temptation of the big screen.

In today's era, a best-selling movie is a golden mountain and can serve as the foundation of a large entertainment group.

Qin Yuhai hopes that in the future, he can rely on Wang Cheng's acting talent to produce works that will sell well step by step, and then continue to release sequels and continue to harvest the box office, making Rubik's Cube Entertainment's copyright library the most valuable and profitable in the country!

The premise of all this is to let Wang Cheng renew his contract!

This is very contradictory...

After Qin Yuhai was silent for a few seconds, he said: "Don't worry, let's take a look. When you are in the capital, many people will definitely contact you. You have to handle the relationship well."

When Qin Yuhai originally founded Rubik's Cube Entertainment, he also wanted to establish it in the capital, because more than ten or twenty years ago, the Beijing area was almost synonymous with the entertainment industry, and the Beijing area had almost all entertainment industry resources.

However, the forces in the Beijing circle are so intertwined that it was too difficult for him as an outsider to develop here. In the end, he had to return to the Magic City to establish Rubik's Cube Entertainment. Relying on the resources of the delta and the resources he accumulated in the capital in his early years, it has developed step by step to this day. , but the development has reached its limit now, and it is impossible to move forward.

Because the Beijing Circle is also exclusive, and he cannot get the high-quality resources of the Beijing Circle, that's all.

Now, he has the best resource in the country - Wang Cheng.

It was he who used Wang Cheng as an opportunity to attract high-quality resources from Beijing.

Therefore, he told Shen Shenghui to handle the relationship between Beijing and Beijing.

Shen Shenghui immediately agreed: "Don't worry, Mr. Qin, I know, I came from the capital, I know. Just now, Director Zhang Ge and Mr. Fei called me because Wang Cheng didn't answer when I was about to call them. Go back!"

Qin Yuhai nodded: "As long as you know what's going on, you have to be careful. Now they are asking for help from us."

Now the entertainment circles across the country are competing for Wang Cheng...

Shen Shenghui: "Okay, Mr. Qin, I understand!"

Qin Yuhai skipped the topic and asked, "How is Wang Cheng's condition?"

Shen Shenghui: "Wang Cheng has not changed much. Thousands of people picked him up after he got off the plane. This is the result of the control. Fans came to pick up Wang Cheng everywhere along the way. I expected there might be tens of thousands of people! However, Wang Cheng and In West Lake City and the Magic City, I didn’t even take a look. I looked at the public opinion on the Internet and found that many fans have expressed dissatisfaction with this, and many media are hyping Wang Cheng’s attitude.”

"But... Wang Cheng's fan base is too large, and many people are still die-hard fans, so the negative public opinion has little impact and is suppressed by many loyal fans."

Seeing that most fans on the Internet said that they prefer such a cold Wang Cheng, Shen Shenghui said that he couldn't understand it.

Many other traffic giegies have established people-friendly personalities through various operations, and many big-name celebrities have also established an approachable image. If their attitude is slightly wrong, many fans will be dissatisfied and complain, and various public relations crises will follow!

but……

Fans like Wang Cheng, the more aloof and cold Wang Cheng is, the more they like him.

Who are these people?

Qin Yuhai was obviously also paying attention to the public opinion about Wang Cheng on the Internet. He smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe this is the charm!"

Shen Shenghui could only say: "Maybe, the aloof image has a certain bonus to Wang Cheng's appearance and temperament..."

The two hung up the phone.

Shen Shenghui's phone rang again, it was Xie Xingfeng. Just after getting off the plane, the director of the Spring Festival Gala of Yangma had already received more than a dozen calls.

However, Shen Shenghui still didn't answer because he needed to call back the great director Zhang Ge.

Although Xie Xingfeng is the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala and is also the leader of the new generation of directors, he is still a head lower than the older generation director Zhang Ge. When Xie Xingfeng first debuted, he was Zhang Ge's assistant director. I learned a lot of songs.

Moreover, Zhang Ge is also the only domestic director who has won an international film award. Although the box office is relatively average and he maintains a small profit, every film can achieve relatively high artistic achievements. In addition to the Oscar, other domestic He has won almost all foreign film awards.

Therefore, Zhang Ge's status in the domestic film field is definitely one of the best. He is the director that every aspiring actor would most like to work with. There is no one director. Zhang Heping's movies can be sold well every time he makes a move. He is known as a cannon when he meets everyone. You should also keep a low profile in front of Zhang Ge.

Rubik's Cube Entertainment had always wanted to cooperate with Zhang Ge and recommended its actors to Zhang Ge, but they didn't get the chance.

Shen Shenghui didn't dare to neglect at all, and immediately found Zhang Ge's phone number and called back.

The call was quickly connected, and Zhang Ge's voice came: "Director Shen, it's difficult to contact you!"

Hearing Zhang Ge's questioning, Shen Shenghui hurriedly smiled and said: "Director Zhang, you are serious. I just arrived in Beijing and was busy talking about the program with Beijing Satellite TV, so I didn't see the phone. After I finished my busy work, I saw your Phone, I’ll call you back right away.”

Zhang Ge asked: "Is the cooperation with Beijing Satellite TV going smoothly?"

Shen Shenghui: "The contract has been signed!"

Zhang Ge: "I heard that your company's Wang Cheng is cooperating with Beijing Satellite TV this time. The single-issue announcement fee is more than 400 million?"

Shen Shenghui: "Well, just over 400 million!"

Zhang Ge on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment. Zhang Ge, who was almost sixty years old and had seen the world, was obviously shocked by this number.

Zhang Ge said softly: "Yesterday I had a phone call with Steve from Hollywood. He just won the Oscar for Best Actor last year. However, he just signed a big production contract with a salary of 28 million US dollars. This This has reached the limit of what a personal salary can reach, and more income needs to be obtained through box office share, but even if the movie is a hit and the box office share is obtained, his income will not exceed US$40 million!"

"Unexpectedly, young people in our country can already earn more than 400 million yuan in variety shows, which is as high as 60 million U.S. dollars! It is higher than the salary of the best actor at the Oscars, and it takes less time. .”

Obviously, Zhang Ge was a little dissatisfied with Wang Cheng's high remuneration.

A variety show announcement only takes a few days to complete, and you can get $60 million!

And how long does it take to film a big production for the Oscar-winning actor? It can take as short as half a year, or as long as one or two years, and the money he gets is not as much as Wang Cheng made in a few days.

Shen Shenghui smiled dryly and said, "Director Zhang, there is no way. This is the market now!"

Zhang Ge was silent for a moment, and then said: "I want to invite Wang Cheng to shoot a movie. What are your conditions? His performance on Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV was amazing. I called Zhang Xiao and Guan Sheng to find out more about it, and I think He would be perfect for the lead role in my next film.”

Zhang Ge’s invitation?

Shen Shenghui's heartbeat accelerated for a moment. If it were before, he would have agreed without saying a word, without mentioning any salary schedule.

Pay? Take as much as the other party gives you.

Schedule? Reject them all and go directly to the crew to report!

But now...

Shen Shenghui really didn't dare to agree to this for Wang Cheng, so he asked tentatively: "Director Zhang, Wang Cheng is only nineteen years old, so he is not suitable for the protagonist of your film, right? Besides, didn't you like to use unpopular newcomers before? Wang Cheng is so popular now. How about I recommend some other actors from our company to you? You will definitely be satisfied!"

Zhang Ge said seriously: "Director Shen, I can tell you something in advance. This time I am going to cooperate with Hollywood to shoot a large-investment commercial film. Wang Cheng's popularity and acting skills are what I need. If Wang Cheng If Cheng Neng comes to play the leading role, then I can give your company a few acting spots..."

"Currently, the project is already in preparation. The investment amount will not be less than 200 million US dollars, and Hollywood superstars will be invited to join. My goal is not only the domestic market, but also the world film market!"

A $200 million investment?

This is definitely an unprecedented large investment in China.

Shen Shenghui's eyes turned, and he was very excited. If he could cooperate, he could let Rubik's Cube Entertainment bring money to join the project and become one of the producers. In this way, he could get more benefits in the later period and even enjoy sequel bonuses.

But……

Will Wang Cheng agree?

Shen Shenghui said softly: "Director Zhang, I personally and the company absolutely want to cooperate with you. However, since you have already talked with Zhang Xiao and Guan Sheng, you should know Wang Cheng's character and temper. I can't do anything for him." Lord. So, how about I answer you after I talk to him?"

Zhang Ge: "Yes, please reply to me as soon as possible! My condition is that he is the protagonist, and it is definitely a rare training opportunity to play with a Hollywood superstar. I have already contacted the distributors in Hollywood, and I will definitely be able to sell him internationally by then. Showing your face is an opportunity to become an international superstar."

"The remuneration may be a bit low. Our total investment is only about 200 million U.S. dollars, and the remuneration of Hollywood superstars will not be low. We can only give Wang Cheng a maximum of 10 million, Chinese coins! However, I can give your company a few Quota for important supporting roles.”

Ten million, Chinese coins?

Shen Shenghui almost couldn't help complaining about this remuneration in person.

However, he also knew that the remuneration for films made by great directors like Zhang Ge was indeed relatively low, far lower than the market price that actors should receive.

Because everyone is vying to perform, so the price can naturally be lowered.

Many actors in blockbusters don't care about the salary at all, and they will take whatever Zhang Ge pays.

Therefore, Shen Shenghui can also understand that Zhang Ge only gave Wang Cheng 10 million Huaxia coins...

Although, according to some information Shen Shenghui knows, these ten million Chinese dollars are already the highest salary Zhang Ge has received in recent movies. Previously, Zhang Ge only gave a few million in symbolic salary to some big-name actors in China!

However, compared with the 430 million single-phase advertising fee that Wang Cheng just received from Beijing Satellite TV, this is still small and almost negligible.

However, for the sake of the overall development of the company, Shen Shenghui endured it and asked: "Director Zhang, can our company invest some money?"

Zhang Ge was silent for a moment, thinking that Rubik's Cube Entertainment was a local leader in Magic City, and agreed: "I can help you fight for it, but the prerequisite is that Wang Cheng joins!"

Shen Shenghui: "Okay, I'll try my best!"

hang up the phone.

Shen Shenghui walked back and forth in the room hesitantly, thinking about how to persuade Wang Cheng, then left the room and walked towards Wang Cheng's room.
