This star doesn’t work overtime

Li Guang lives in Magic City and arrived at the office building of Dongxing Entertainment early in the morning!

Afterwards, Fang Xue Shu and Wu Tong rushed over from Hangzhou together and almost arrived at Dongxing Entertainment.

When the two sides met, they had mixed emotions.

Li Guang looked at the now prosperous Fang Xue Shu and Wu Tong, as if he saw himself and He Lei two weeks ago, but he and He Lei were more prosperous then, and more miserable now.

Fang Xueshu and Wu Tong were under greater pressure.

Because you don’t know how precious it is until you lose it.

The Eastern Star program team lost Wang Cheng, and the ratings suddenly fell by more than half. They will definitely buy Wang Cheng back at any cost.

However, on the surface, both parties shook hands and said hello.

After all, they are all from the same circle, and they are all acquaintances from the Brotherhood.

"Lao Li, long time no see."

"Lao Fang, Director Wu, your program has made great progress. I took the time to watch your latest program last night. It was very exciting."

"Where, where, there is still a gap between the Eastern Star!"

Both parties laughed, and then sat in their own seats and stopped chatting.

They are all competitors, there is nothing to talk about.

However, after a while, three more people came, whom they also knew.

One is Lao Wang from Beijing Satellite TV, one is Lao Zhang from Xiangbei Satellite TV, and one is Lao Zhou from Southeast Satellite TV. They are all producers responsible for their respective programs. They came to talk to Dongxing Entertainment about signing Wang Cheng.

Yesterday, the ratings for the latest episode of "Spring and Summer You" came out. After everyone watched it, they naturally wanted to get a share of the pie, poach Wang Cheng under their banner, and improve the ratings of their own programs.

After the test of two programs, Wang Cheng's role in improving ratings is already visible to the naked eye.

Many program crews have put aside their hesitation and vigilance and started to be bold.

And these three TV stations are not short of money and resources. They just want to produce a phenomenon-level program with high ratings to enhance the image and popularity of their TV stations, so they came to them on the first day and wanted to first Be aggressive and be prepared for bleeding.

Several people exchanged greetings again, all with heavy hearts.

The competition was so fierce that it exceeded their expectations, and several people were somewhat discouraged.

After a while, Liu Jinfeng and Wang Cheng arrived.

Seeing the six people sitting in the conference room, Liu Jinfeng was slightly stunned. He only called Li Guang, Fang Xue Shu, and Wu Tong to come over. No one from the other program teams communicated with him in advance.

Did you come directly to your door?

When several people saw Liu Jinfeng and Wang Cheng arriving, they immediately stood up to say hello.

Li Guang, Wu Tong, and Fang Xue Shu all smiled at Wang Cheng and greeted him familiarly, as if they were old friends. The other three also wanted to get close to Wang Cheng.

Li Guang: "Wang Cheng, we meet again. Yesterday's performance was wonderful."

Wu Tong: "Wang Cheng, how was your rest? Huang Bin and the others are still waiting for you to go back. Preparations for the next episode have already begun."

Fang Xue Shu: "Wang Cheng, we've reserved your single suite dormitory for you."

Lao Wang: "Wang Cheng, my surname is also Wang, and I belong to my family!"

Lao Zhou: "Wang Cheng, you are the most talented young man I have ever seen. You should have a bigger stage to show off..."

Lao Zhang: "Wang Cheng..."

…

Wang Cheng treated these people equally and ignored them. He just nodded lightly without saying a word. Then he walked to the sofa next to him and sat down. He put down the thermos cup, picked up the book and started reading as if there was no one else around.

The six people were stunned for a moment and looked at each other. The awkward expressions on their faces flashed across their faces. After all, they were all veterans in the industry. Controlling emotions was a basic ability. No matter how dissatisfied they were, they would suppress it.

Li Guang, Wu Tong, and Fang Xueshu were used to Wang Cheng's attitude and no longer cared about it.

The other three people feel a little uncomfortable. They represent the TV station and are the real power in the circle. They have seen all the big-name celebrities and their attitudes are very good. No one has ever played big-name with them!

However, Wang Cheng didn't care about their attitude at all. After sitting down, he opened the book and started reading.

Liu Jinfeng regretted bringing Wang Cheng with him, and immediately set a rule for himself - he could not bring Wang Cheng to discuss business matters in the future, otherwise Wang Cheng might offend everyone in the circle after a few times.

"Hahaha, you guys came so early."

Liu Jinfeng laughed: "Wang Cheng got up a little early this morning and is a little tired. Please forgive me."

Everyone smiled, knowing it was an excuse, but they didn't try to expose it.

Liu Jinfeng greeted several people to sit down, looked at Li Guang, Fang Xueshu, Wu Tong and the others, and then looked at the other three people who came uninvited, with complicated expressions.

He has been the artist director of Dongxing Entertainment for several years. This is the first time that he has been sought after by so many powerful TV station producers.

The other two top-tier companies under Dongxing Entertainment, combined, are not so popular.

"Director Liu, let's talk about business. The program team will start producing a new program soon. It's better for Wang Cheng to return to the program team as soon as possible."

Wu Tong said straight to the point.

He also hopes to continuously increase the ratings in the future and break the 3.5 rating of Eastern Star. Naturally, he wants to finalize the matter as soon as possible and bring Wang Cheng back to the program team immediately.

Li Guang said calmly: "Yes, Director Liu, let's start! Everyone is here, let's be fair. How about direct open bidding? The one with the highest bid will win!"

Bid?

Representatives from the three television stations who showed up uninvited felt the pressure.

They are not short of money, especially the producers from Beijing TV. Their financial resources are no weaker than those of the two satellite TV stations in the Yangtze River Delta.

However, none of the three of them has as much determination as the two Yangtze River Delta TV stations.

After all, they have not tried the taste of ratings improvement!

And these two families have already obtained it, and now they want to continue to obtain it.

When Liu Jinfeng heard this, a trace of expectation flashed in his eyes, and he said softly: "Okay, since Li Chu said so, we are all from our own circle, so we should be open and fair."

However, Liu Jinfeng, Li Guang, Wu Tong, and Fang Xueshu couldn't help but glance at Wang Cheng, wanting to see if Wang Cheng had any objections to this, and wanting to know if Wang Cheng had any preference for their program group. They could directly Decide!

Unfortunately, Wang Cheng didn't even raise his eyes to look at them. He just turned the pages of the book and continued to read the words in the book, as if he didn't care about their bidding at all, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Fang Xue Shu also said: "Director Liu, let's get started! Our spring and summer program team has just started. We will directly package the remaining three episodes, totaling 25 million, and the price of a single episode is more than 8.3 million."

As soon as Fang Xue Shu finished speaking, there was silence in the conference room.

Lao Wang, Lao Zhou, and Lao Zhang from the other three TV stations all looked at Fang Xue Shu with shocked faces. They all knew that the price of Wang Cheng's announcement was ridiculously high, comparable to the first-tier level. The last spring and summer program team paid Seven and a half million yuan for one contract was lowered because Wang Cheng had special personal requirements.

but……

They didn't expect that this time there would be such a direct increase. They were all prepared to sign Wang Cheng for about 8 million, and they only wanted to sign for one period. Both the unit price and the total price were suppressed by Fang Xueshu, who was embarrassed to speak.

If they were asked to sign for a few more episodes, they would not dare to take such a big risk. After all, the price was so high. Once the subsequent ratings collapsed, they would suffer a big loss.

Therefore, for a while, the three of them were silent. Knowing that this trip was in vain and they could only be spectators, they couldn't help but look at Wang Cheng with mixed emotions, who was reading like a transparent person on the sofa next to him. This ten-year-old A nine-year-old boy is so valuable?

Only Li Guang, who is also from the Magic City of the Yangtze River Delta, remained calm. He looked at Liu Jinfeng and said directly: "We have five phases of Eastern Star left. We will package five phases for 40 million, and we will pay them all at once after signing the contract."

hiss!

Except for Wu Tong, Fang Xueshu, and Liu Jinfeng, the other three people gasped in shock!

The price of a single issue is 8 million. If you directly package five issues and spend 40 million at a time, you can already invite a very popular and super first-line celebrity to take charge.

Liu Jinfeng's eyes flashed with joy. Li Guang's quotation was higher than that on the phone. Although the unit price was still not as good as Fang Xueshu's, the total price was more than 10 million higher.

Fang Xueshu knocked on the table, looked at Li Guang and said: "Old Li, if I remember correctly! Your single-term price for signing Ankeru is much lower than this, only more than 6 million? You are so high that Wang Cheng is What would An Keru think about signing back? What would the agency behind An Keru think so?"

"What do other big names in the industry think of your Dragon TV?"

Li Guang, Liu Jinfeng and several others were stunned after hearing this. They did not expect Fang Xue Shu to say such a thing.

but……

When they thought about it carefully, this was the unspoken rule in the circle!

The most popular and famous person on stage must be the one with the highest salary.

As a top-tier celebrity with more than 30 million fans, An Keru naturally wants to receive the highest salary on stage and enjoy the best treatment.

If Wang Cheng is given a higher remuneration, Ankeru and the company behind him will definitely have objections. That would be a question about Ankeru's popularity and the number of fans.

Other top-tier celebrities like An Keru will hesitate to cooperate with Dragon TV in the future, or even refuse...

If it is an older generation star who is already very old, that’s it. After all, when you are older, you are well-known but your popularity is limited. It is normal that the price is not as good as that of young traffic stars, and people accept it.

However, An Keru has just turned 30 and is at his peak in all aspects. Naturally, the brokerage company behind him will not make concessions in this regard. Once he gives in, it will be difficult to negotiate the price next time he receives an announcement.

If one thing goes wrong, there may be even greater internal strife on the stage!

The biggest judge and the biggest contestant are in conflict...

Then Eastern Star can directly announce that it is disbanded and can no longer continue production.

Li Guang fell silent for a moment and had a headache.

He had never thought about this incident. He was only thinking about how to buy Wang Cheng back to restore the show's ratings, but he forgot about this unspoken rule.

The super A-list celebrity who was hired at a high price has now become a burden?

Liu Jinfeng also frowned at Li Guang, then looked at Fang Xue Shu, and said softly: "Li Chu, you have to think clearly before bidding. I don't want you to bear grudges against me and Wang Cheng in the future."

Li Guang hummed, started to think, picked up his cell phone and communicated with An Keru's agent Jiang Yun.

Fang Xue Shu, on the other hand, pursued the victory and said directly: "Director Liu, I will add another one million, packaged in three installments, 26 million, and pay in one lump sum directly after signing the contract. This is our greatest sincerity, and I think you should also understand this. The price means something.”

Liu Jinfeng nodded, knowing that Fang Xue Shu had really shown his utmost sincerity.

The single-phase price exceeds 8.5 million, which is already close to the super giant price.

Last year, a variety show invited a superstar singer to be a guest for one episode, and the price was nine million per episode.

Now Fang Xueshu gave Wang Cheng a price of more than 8.6 million for a single issue, and packaged three issues at once, which is definitely a sky-high price in the industry.

He wanted to agree directly.

However, he looked at Li Guang expectantly, wanting to see if Li Guang could solve Ankeru's problem. If possible, he was still willing to accept Li Guang's package price of 40 million, even though the single-phase price was low. But if you can get 40 million at a time, the company will definitely choose the one with more money.

It’s just two more episodes, that’s just two weeks!

However, Li Guang frowned and used his mobile phone to contact An Keru's manager Jiang Yun, who also responded to the message.

There are only two words: No!

obviously.

As An Keru's manager, Jiang Yun firmly disagrees with the program team harming An Keru's popularity and image.

Even if the program team gives Wang Cheng and An Keru the same price, Jiang Yun is willing to agree. After all, Wang Cheng is back and the show's ratings are higher, which is also good for An Keru. The last time Wang Cheng and An Keru performed a double ballroom dance , brought millions of fans to Ankeru.

but……

The price Li Guang paid to Wang Cheng was much higher than that of An Keru, which was unacceptable to both Jiang Yun and the agency.

Seeing Jiang Yun's reply, Li Guang frowned even more tightly, thinking, colliding, and tangled in his heart!

He really wanted to buy Wang Cheng back. The ratings of the last episode proved that the stage belonged to the contestants, not the judges. The judges could not support too high ratings, let alone bring stable and sustained ratings. Only the performances Players can.

If he had a choice, he would be willing to buy Wang Cheng back and then break the contract to let An Keru leave the show.

However, in this way, Ankeru and the agency behind him will be completely offended. At the same time, it will completely break the unspoken rules in the industry, making many other first-tier and super first-tier celebrities hostile to Dragon TV. In the future, It may no longer be possible to find big names to work with.

Moreover, An Keru's own background is not something he can offend.

so……

Li Guang struggled for a few seconds, then shook his head with a wry smile to Liu Jinfeng, saying that he had no choice but to quit. He looked at Wang Cheng, who was still reading there, as if what happened here had nothing to do with him, seriously He said quietly: "Wang Cheng, it's a pity that I can't cooperate with you this time. In two months, our station wants to produce a new variety show, mainly featuring dance performances. Are you willing to come? If you are willing Come on, you are the biggest star in this show!"

"The price is still the same price just now, just package and sign the contract for 80 million yuan for the whole season!"

The producers of several other TV stations looked strange after hearing this, with a flash of shock in their eyes.

Because they all have similar plans to produce a variety show about popular dance.

Recently, due to the popularity of Oriental Star, Wang Cheng has led a wave of progress in popular dance. Many viewers are interested in these beautiful popular dances. The dances in various variety shows are also much better, and the ratings have also increased somewhat.

The keen producers in the industry immediately discovered the business opportunity and wanted to produce a dance show!

And there is obviously more than one such producer.

Several people present may want to produce it, and they all want to invite Wang Cheng, the initiator of the advancement of popular dance, to the show, and then invite several gold medal dancers, some popular celebrities, and some trainees from entertainment companies to perform...

It’s a high-quality dance variety show.

However, none of them were as willing as Li Guang to spend 80 million on Wang Cheng alone?

What's the budget for the show?

For a moment, they were all a little scared and wanted to shelve their plans temporarily.

Li Guang looked at Wang Cheng confidently. He even wrote part of the plan, and wanted to bring over several dancers on the Eastern Star stage, such as Luo Qiang and Danny, who are all the best in the industry. Strong dancing fingers.

And the most indispensable thing is Wang Cheng.

However, there are also people who think differently.

Lao Wang from Beijing Satellite TV also hurriedly recommended himself: "Wang Cheng, you and I are from the same family. We have taken a fancy to your strong music creation ability, and we want to produce an original music program that will definitely allow you to showcase your talents!"

Lao Wang didn't dare to say the price because he couldn't tell Li Guang's price of 80 million per season.

Seeing this, everyone else wanted to introduce themselves.

Wang Cheng raised his head and glanced at them, especially Li Guang, whose price surprised even him. He shook his head and said, "You don't have to talk to me about this. Talk to the company."

After saying that, Wang Cheng ignored Li Guang and Lao Wang and lowered his head to read again.

Liu Jinfeng, who had just felt a little nervous, immediately relaxed. His eyes were full of surprise, and his mind was filled with the eighty million figure Li Guang said. He smiled and said: "Li Chu, Lao Wang, we will discuss the future matters at that time." . This trip is in vain for you, I will treat you to lunch later, the place is whatever you want!"

There were a lot of people here, so Liu Jinfeng didn't tell Li Guangduo about the 80 million, thinking to communicate later.

Li Guang looked at Wang Cheng carefully and found that Wang Cheng really didn't care. He didn't care at all about the new program or the figure of 80 million. He felt a little disappointed and immediately stood up and left: "I won't eat anymore. I'll pay back when I get back." If you have something to do, Director Liu and Wang Cheng, I will leave first. If there is a chance next time, I will treat you to a big dinner."

The other three people also left one after another. Since Wang Cheng's contract has been finalized, they have no chance, so naturally they will not waste time here.

Liu Jinfeng stood up and sent the four people out, looked at Wu Tong and Fang Xueshu who were sitting there, and said with a smile: "Lao Fang, Director Wu, and Wang Cheng are here too, let's sign the contract. I think you should be ready." Contract, right?"

Fang Xueshu smiled and took out the contract prepared in advance from his briefcase, in triplicate, one each for the program team, the agency, and Wang Cheng: "Of course, I'm ready. After the signing is over, I treat you, Let’s have a meal together, and we’ll rush back to the Hangzhou program in the afternoon. Will Wang Cheng come with us?”

Wang Cheng hummed, put away the book, stood up, picked up the thermos cup, and said: "I won't have dinner with you. Now I will go back to pack my things and go to Hangzhou. I should still be able to have lunch in Hangzhou."

After saying that, Wang Cheng walked over and first picked up the contract and read it.

Fang Xueshu and Wu Tong looked at each other, a hint of joy flashing in their eyes. The faster Wang Cheng gets into the state, the more confident they will be.

Liu Jinfeng also looked at Wang Cheng calmly, said nothing, and allowed Wang Cheng to do whatever he wanted, and be tolerant of the money tree.

Wang Cheng quickly scanned the contract. It was similar to the last contract, except that it changed from one phase to three phases. Nothing else changed. He immediately picked up a pen and wrote his name on it, and then handed it to Liu Jinfeng and Fang Xue Shu. .

Liu Jinfeng and Fang Xueshu were also unambiguous. They signed their names and stamped their official seals on the spot!

Signing completed.

Wang Cheng nodded to the three of them, picked up his share and walked out.

Fang Xue Shu said hurriedly: "Wang Cheng, we will pick you up at the apartment later. I will help you book a ticket and we will go back to Hangzhou together."

Liu Jinfeng said: "I notified the company's car to wait for you downstairs!"

Wang Cheng didn't look back, just waved to the three of them and walked into the elevator.

Watching Wang Cheng enter the elevator and disappear.

Fang Xue Shucai said softly: "This is the most unique artist I have ever seen. I really want to know what he thinks."

Wu Tong nodded in agreement: "Yes, he does his own thing and has a lot of personality! But his talent is also amazing. Director Liu, your company has found a treasure this time."

Liu Jinfeng smiled and said nothing, but a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

So what if you find a treasure? I can only have it for two years...

However, he was once again eager to move. Could he think of a way to renew Wang Cheng's contract?

No way, the spring and summer program team received more than 30 million yuan from two signings. Li Guang also promised to directly sign a new show for a full season of 80 million yuan. These figures deeply stimulated Liu Jinfeng.

…

As soon as Wang Cheng stepped out of the elevator, he saw Li Guang waiting at the door outside.

Li Guang came up and said to Wang Cheng: "Wang Cheng, can we talk?"

After failing to buy Wang Cheng back this time, Li Guang no longer had any expectations for the future of Eastern Star and pinned his hopes on the next program planned, and Wang Cheng was indispensable.

Therefore, he wanted to make an agreement with Wang Cheng in advance.

But.

Wang Cheng was not interested in this at all, and did not want to waste words and time in vain. He just said: "Sorry, I don't have time."

After saying that, Wang Cheng walked directly to the company's nanny car. The driver had already opened the door and he got directly into it. The driver quickly got in the car and started heading towards the company apartment.

Li Guang stood on the roadside and watched Wang Cheng's car go away, a little confused - this kid was really difficult to communicate with, and he was the only one he had ever seen in his life.

At that time, we can only discuss the contract for the new show with Liu Jinfeng.

However, he suddenly thought that when Spring and Summer With You is over, other popular talent shows will also end one after another, and then the champions of each talent show will be on the Tomorrow Idol stage. Wang Cheng will definitely be the champion on the Spring and Summer stage. There must be someone One spot!

"Then postpone the new program plan!"

Li Guang changed his plan and turned around to leave.

…

Wang Cheng sat in the car and continued to look at the book in his hand when the phone rang.

He picked it up and looked at it. It was an unfamiliar number, so he didn't bother to answer it.

However, the phone kept ringing!

Wang Cheng could only answer the call.

A familiar voice came from the other side of the phone: "Have you renewed your contract with Chunxia?"

Wang Cheng heard that the voice belonged to An Keru. Although the two had only talked once or twice, he had an excellent memory and could clearly remember An Keru's scent and voice. He said softly: "Well, we just signed Got the contract."

An Keru: "I heard from Sister Yun that because of me, you and Eastern Star failed to renew your contract. I want to ask, if I agreed, would you come back then?"

Wang Cheng raised his eyebrows and then replied: "Then ask my company. I have no right to make decisions."

An Keru asked: "I just want you to answer me, are you willing to come back and be on the show with me?"

Wang Cheng replied softly: "I don't want to."

An Keru was silent for a moment, breathing a little faster, and asked, "Why?"

Wang Cheng answered truthfully: "If you have the wrong mentality, you will be in trouble."

After saying that, Wang Cheng hung up the phone.

How could he not see that this big shot who looked very much like his ex-girlfriend in his previous life was obviously interested in him.

Although he has always felt guilty about his ex-girlfriend and his daughter, An Keru's appearance and temperament are now at their peak, and they are full of attraction.

However, Wang Cheng still stayed away from him!

woman!

is the source of trouble.

On the other side, An Keru looked stiff and squeezed the phone in his hand. Yinya bit his lower lip slightly, then quickly picked up the phone, opened the Weibo page, and unblocked Wang Cheng from his watch list.

Jiang Yun stood by as a quiet spectator throughout the whole process and did not interfere in An Keru's private life. When she saw the final result, her expression became slightly more relaxed.

She also didn't agree with An Keru's choice.

Admittedly...

The boy's charm combined with his good looks and temperament is unrivaled. She is in her forties and has seen countless handsome men and women in the industry, including the star Wu Shu, but she always gets a flutter when she looks at Wang Cheng.

However, she woke up very quickly.

Moreover, she understood very well that the boy was only nineteen years old, too young, had an extremely weird personality, was very difficult to get along with, and was definitely not a good person.

Now that the boy rejected An Keru, she breathed a sigh of relief and comforted An Keru: "Keru, don't think about this. Let's finish the production of this program with peace of mind and take a good rest. At the end of the year, Song The director's play is about to start filming..."

An Keru hummed and said softly: "I want to take a nap."

Jiang Yun was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Okay, you go to sleep, I'll leave first, and I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."

An Keru watched Jiang Yun leave, picked up another phone and entered Weibo, clicked on Wang Cheng's Weibo page, clicked follow again, then walked into the bedroom and murmured in a low voice: "I'll take a nap too. Take a nap and take a look..."

…

Wang Chenggang returned to the dormitory to pack his things.

Wu Tong and Fang Xue Shu, the two leaders of the program team, came to pick up Wang Cheng.

In order to bring Wang Cheng back to the show team as soon as possible and start preparations for the next episode, they refused Liu Jinfeng's invitation, came directly to pick up Wang Cheng, and got on the high-speed train to Hangzhou.

The news that Wang Cheng renewed his contract with the Spring and Summer With You program quickly spread to the ears of many interested people in the industry.

The price surprised everyone again.

Many people directly accused the spring and summer program crew of driving up prices.
