This star doesn’t work overtime

When Wang Cheng was getting ready to sleep.

The phone came to mind again.

Seeing that it was Zhang Hanwen calling, Wang Cheng answered the call.

"Wang Cheng, I didn't disturb your sleep, right?"

Zhang Hanwen's voice was very deep.

Wang Cheng was just lying on the bed: "Not yet, but soon!"

All right……

Zhang Hanwen was a little speechless. He was so sad, but the other party was still thinking about sleeping. He immediately said with a hint of tears: "Wang Cheng, we failed."

Wang Cheng: "Yes, I heard about it."

Zhang Hanwen was stunned for a moment: "You know?"

Wang Cheng: "Director Liu called me and told me that the ratings have dropped a bit."

Zhang Hanwen: "Yes, Sister Hua said that the ratings were half lower than the last time you performed. People on the Internet also said that our performance was not good. I almost collapsed. Now I even dream that you can come back. …”

Zhang Hanwen no longer has the idea of ​​​​carrying the team forward on his own.

After the performance, he paid attention to his Weibo and online public opinions. Basically, they said that his performance as a leader was far inferior to Wang Cheng!

What particularly made him a little frustrated was that the number of his fans had decreased in a short period of time. There were also many fans who followed him in the fan message area and criticized him in various ways.

Zhang Xiuhua explained to him: "This is because your fans were brought up by Wang Cheng, and quite a few of them are fans of Wang Cheng. By the way, they follow Wang Cheng's teammates! So, now that Wang Cheng is gone, his fans You may also be detained, so you should be mentally prepared now."

Although, it was only for a moment that it lost thousands of followers, and then it started to grow slowly again.

After all, the show had just aired, and some viewers were attracted and began to follow them, but the speed of improvement was a snail's pace compared to last week. Only a few thousand new fans have been added so far. I don't know how many more people are behind it. People take off...

Moreover, this blow made Zhang Hanwen go back to the dormitory and shed a few tears before calling Wang Cheng.

Wang Cheng remained silent.

Zhang Hanwen continued to talk to himself: "Okay, I know you can't comfort people. I just want to complain to you. I heard that the program team wants to invite you back again. Is it true? Will you come back?"

Wang Cheng replied: "I don't know. I'll have to wait until I perform here for one episode and end the contract. I'll see what the company arranges."

Zhang Hanwen said helplessly: "Hey, when I was passing by the toilet just now, I heard someone crying inside! Guess who it was? It was Wu Han... Wu Han was so shocked that he cried. There are people criticizing him everywhere on the Internet. He is mainly responsible for the drop in ratings. It's all being pushed onto him, and Penguin Entertainment is helping him with public relations. Li Feifan also received scoldings, and crisis public relations were also launched..."

"Even the four judges were scolded. An Keru was scolded!"

Zhang Hanwen experienced the cruelty in the entertainment industry for the first time!

When you are prosperous, the whole world is full of good people.

When you hit rock bottom, the world is full of bad people.

Wang Cheng naturally has a clear understanding of this. He has seen a lot in his previous life, so he has no emotions and has long faced it calmly.

"Just take care of yourself."

Wang Cheng said calmly: "That's how the entertainment industry is. It's enough to protect your own fans."

Zhang Hanwen: "Sister Hua told me the same thing. By the way, are you cooperating with Huang Bin and Mo Bailin on the new show?"

Wang Cheng: "Yeah!"

Zhang Hanwen said with envy: "They are so lucky. Can you write songs for this performance?"

Wang Cheng answered truthfully: "Well, I'm short of money recently, so I wrote a song for them to sing, and then put it on the shelves to make some money."

He didn't have to contribute any effort, but he still made enough money, and he didn't have to share it with the singers Huang Bin and Mo Bailin. In Wang Cheng's opinion, it was certainly a profit.

But……

After hearing this, Zhang Hanwen jumped out of bed in shock and almost hit his head on the wall: "Fuck...Wang Cheng, is it true or not? Why, why didn't you take me with you when you left? I'll go there now Is it still too late? I will be a backup dancer, even if you don’t need a lyric!"

Wang Cheng smiled lightly and said, "You can go to Director Liu. If he agrees, your program team also agrees to let you withdraw from the competition, and the program team here also agrees to accept you, then you can come over."

Zhang Hanwen was speechless after hearing this, knowing that this was impossible.

He is now the third most popular member of the Eastern Star program team, second only to Wu Han and Li Feifan. He still retains Wang Cheng's popularity, and the program team cannot let him go.

He could only say: "Huang Bin and the others are so lucky this time!"

Wang Cheng was noncommittal, just looked at the time and said, "I'm going to bed!"

Zhang Hanwen was stunned for a moment, and then said: "You are so cold."

Snapped!

The phone has been hung up.

After Wang Cheng muted the sound directly, he turned off the lights and went to sleep.

Zhang Hanwen, on the other hand, stared at the phone in a daze, and then punched the quilt to vent the envy and jealousy in his heart that was about to overflow.

He has no emotions towards Wang Cheng. He knows that Wang Cheng is that kind of person. He is just envious of Huang Bin and others.

He clicked on Penguin Music, searched on the monthly charts, and found Jingwumen among the top 20. He calculated in his mind that Jingwumen's sales might have been around 7 million, and his eyes became even more intense. By the end of the month, Definitely in the top ten.

if……

He can sing and perform a similar piece of work with Wang Cheng again.

How wonderful is that?

"ah……"

Zhang Hanwen vented his anger again and punched the quilt.

…

the next day.

Wang Cheng got up on time, washed up, went out for an hour jogging, and then came back for breakfast. When he came out of the cafeteria, he met Huang Bin and Mo Bailin who had come to eat together. They all had dark circles under their eyes, obviously. I didn't sleep well all night.

As soon as they saw Wang Cheng, several people immediately gathered around him.

"Wang Cheng, I can sing the lyrics fluently, and my pitch is absolutely fine. When I was learning vocal music, my teacher said that I have a good talent and suggested that I develop into a singer in the future."

Huang Bin said excitedly: "I like this song very much."

Mo Bailin also smiled and said: "I have also practiced it. I also like this song very much. It's great."

Several other people said that they had no problem. They also expressed that they liked the song written by Wang Cheng and hoped to get closer to Wang Cheng.

Wang Cheng just nodded lightly: "Just be confident. Meet at the recording studio at nine o'clock. The director of the program may come over to take a look."

When Huang Bin and Mo Bailin heard this, their eyes lit up.

The director of the program team is coming, which means that they will be promoted by the program team, and the program team will definitely give them more publicity resources...

This is a treatment that they have not enjoyed since the show started.

The contestants that the program team has been promoting are Xiao Daohong from Penguin Entertainment, followed by Chen Hao, a contestant from Jingtian Entertainment, another northern entertainment giant. Both of them are highly popular contestants with more than 3 million fans at this time. As the captain, Huang Bin has millions of fans.

Huang Bin has always been unconvinced by this, feeling that if he could also enjoy so many resources, he would do better than those two.

Now, the opportunity has come!

Wang Cheng nodded again to several people, and then went back to the dormitory.

Watching Wang Cheng leave, Huang Bin and Mo Bailin were full of energy.

Just as Wang Cheng walked out of the cafeteria, several young people came over to him. They were about the same age as Huang Bin and the others, and their looks and figures were about the same level. As expected, they were all carefully selected trainees from major companies, and they had all kinds of hardware conditions. Basically they are all on the same level.

"Hello, Wang Cheng!"

The young man with yellow hair at the head stretched out his hand to Wang Cheng and said politely: "I am Xiao Daohong."

Wang Cheng nodded to Xiao Daohong: "Hello!"

After shaking hands gently, Wang Cheng walked past several people and went back to the dormitory.

Xiao Daohong and others watched Wang Cheng leave in slight shock...

A young boy with an immature face muttered in a low voice: "You're too famous. You don't even take the captain seriously and don't pay attention to anyone at all. Isn't it because he suddenly became popular and has more fans..."

Xiao Daohong's face flashed with embarrassment, and he shook his head and said: "It's not like you haven't heard rumors about him. When he didn't have many fans before, he was such a big name and offended everyone in the company and the program team. That’s why I had to leave the program group and come to our program group!”

"He didn't target me, he does this to everyone!"

Xiao Daohong obviously inquired about Wang Cheng's various news in detail, so he was not too surprised or angry at Wang Cheng's attitude. He only felt that it was true as rumored, and just thought about keeping a distance from Wang Cheng in the future. He didn't want to get involved with the strange newcomer in the same class.

"Captain, can the program team pay a high price to invite him here to increase the ratings?"

One of the team members asked in a low voice curiously.

Xiao Daohong glanced at Huang Bin and the others who were not far away, then went to prepare food and whispered: "Who knows! It's enough for us to do our own show. There are only a few episodes left in the show, he I just came here, so I guess the effect won’t be too obvious.”

Xiao Daohong has a clear understanding and plan for his future. He currently has three million fans and strives to accumulate five million fans before he can appear on the Tomorrow Idol stage. Then he will have the opportunity to hit tens of millions of fans on the Tomorrow Idol stage. , debuted with top-notch popularity.

If he doesn't compare with Wang Cheng or Wen Yixiao, he is asking for trouble.

but……

When he thought, if Wang Cheng stayed on the stage with you in Spring and Summer, then he might not be able to win the championship and go to the stage of Tomorrow Idol. There was no way he could beat Wang Cheng. Wang Cheng had more than 10 million more fans than him. !

Xiao Daohong's expression suddenly became tense.

…………

Wang Cheng returned to the dormitory, tidied up a little, and then continued reading this English science fiction novel, and he almost finished it.

This science fiction novel is also of average quality, but it is already the best-selling science fiction novel in the world. The title page states that it is the winner of this year’s Galaxy Award, the world’s highest award for science fiction novels.

"That's it."

Wang Cheng looked at it casually.

Because the plot has always been a shortcoming in the field of Western science fiction. Whether it is a science fiction novel or a science fiction movie, the plot is very simple.

The creative setting is very ordinary in Wang Cheng's eyes, so Wang Cheng looks very ordinary and casual, and he can basically guess the subsequent direction with a little thought.

Time passed quickly, and the alarm clock on the phone rang.

It's time to go to work.

Wang Cheng put down his book, picked up his mobile phone, and logged into Weibo as usual, posting today's work news: "Good morning..."

Still three words, click publish.

After sending the message, Wang Cheng went out and walked to the recording studio.

And his Weibo page suddenly became lively.

Many fans seemed to be waiting for an opportunity, and they all showed up the moment he sent the message...

Within one minute, tens of thousands of people left messages, and nearly 100,000 people liked and retweeted...

"Good morning again! Good morning everyone, here to check in again for news about Xiao Chengcheng."

"Xiao Chengcheng, I watched the Oriental Star program yesterday. I was very disappointed that you were not performing. I hope you will perform soon in the spring and summer."

"Xiao Chengcheng, Oriental Star has re-edited the video of the last program and deleted the part of your performance. It's really disgusting."

"It's just that the Eastern Star program team is really disgusting. They deleted the most exciting part of the entire program. Now I have no interest in their program at all."

"Xiao Chengcheng, An Keru is paying attention to you. Why don't you check back?"

"Xiao Chengcheng, the official Weibo of the Eastern Star program said that they are negotiating to invite you back. Is it true?"

"Xiao Chengcheng, where are the photos? Where are the photos? Sisters and aunts haven't seen you for a long time? Send a photo quickly..."

"Xiao Chengcheng..."

…

Wang Cheng's Weibo message area was filled with countless replies and messages.

but……

They couldn't wait for Wang Cheng's reply.

Huang Bin and Mo Bailin were all in the recording studio, singing the lyrics to each other. Manager Zhang Xiaoyong and choreographer Sun Gang were chatting quietly on the side.

Not far away, program director Wu Tong and producer Fang Xueshu were chatting while waiting for Wang Cheng.

Fang Xue Shu put his hands behind his back, glanced at the door from time to time, and said softly: "This Wang Cheng is really as big as the rumors say. He doesn't go to work before nine o'clock."

Although Fang Xueshu had inquired a lot about Wang Cheng, but now that he had met him in person, he still couldn't help but complain.

He could understand why He Lei, the director of the Eastern Star program group, drove Wang Cheng away.

Because, it really makes people angry.

However, he witnessed the collapse of the Eastern Star program group's ratings last night, and he could roughly understand He Lei's mood at this time.

Therefore, even though he was dissatisfied, he was still enduring it.

Wu Tong said helplessly: "What else should I do? More than seven million yuan has been spent. Moreover, we have agreed to his work and rest time in advance, so we can only cooperate. However, fortunately, this time is actually quite easy to cooperate with. , just adjust their performance time to the morning or afternoon, so as not to coincide with their off-duty break time, it’s easy to operate.”

Fang Xue Shu nodded: "It's not difficult to operate, it just depends on whether you are willing to put down your dignity."

Both of them understand that in the Chinese entertainment industry, qualifications are the most important thing, and the more they pay attention to these, the more they care about face.

As the person in charge of the entire program, the program director naturally has to protect his own face.

Therefore, many directors, producers and other big-name guests of the program group, in order to protect their own face, could not easily give in to a 19-year-old boy. At that time, when Liu Jinfeng asked to cooperate with Wang Cheng's work and rest time, many programs I quit immediately.

Only some programs with little strength and popularity will put down their dignity and continue to persist.

Wu Tong is one of them.

And this time.

Wang Cheng appeared at the door of the recording studio.

Fang Xue Shu picked up his phone and checked the time.

No more, no less, exactly nine o'clock.
