This star doesn’t work overtime

Fang Xue Shu looked up at Wu Tong: "How long has it been uploaded?"

Wu Tong looked at the time and then at the recording scene where he had just finished get off work: "Less than an hour!"

The two were silent again, and the sales figures on the screenshot became extremely eye-catching.

"Wang Cheng's appeal needs to be re-evaluated."

Wu Tong said softly.

Fang Xue Shu hummed, once again burying the dissatisfaction in his heart.

I get off work at that hour, so I haven’t done anything wrong...

The new song sold over 1.8 million copies within an hour of its release, bringing a lot of attention and popularity to the program that will be broadcast tomorrow, which is more than everyone else’s combined contributions.

What happened to getting off work on time?

Fang Xue Shu asked again: "How many views did the last episode have?"

A smile emerged from the corner of Wu Tong's mouth: "I asked last night. The number of views has exceeded 50 million, with an average of 7 million every day. The advertising share of Penguin Video has increased a bit."

After hearing this, Fang Xue Shu also had a smile on his face.

With 50 million views per week, this is already the highest figure since the production of their program. The increase in player advertising fees will bring an intuitive increase in revenue to the program.

Of course, the bigger thing is next year's advertising sponsorship revenue. This year's ratings have increased significantly, and next year's advertising sponsorship will of course also increase significantly.

However, although 50 million views a week is high, neither of them is satisfied.

Wu Tong glanced at the stage and said seriously: "There are still two periods left. Let's try to surpass Eastern Star."

Last time, Eastern Star's weekly broadcast volume exceeded 100 million, setting a moderate record, which brought great benefits to Eastern Star.

Now, Wang Cheng has you in spring and summer, and his popularity and fans are higher than then.

Why can’t it comprehensively surpass Eastern Star?

The ratings record of 3.5 is broken!

The record of weekly views exceeding 100 million has also been broken!

Fang Xue Shu thought for a while and said, "By the way, the single dormitory where Wang Cheng lives now still feels a bit crude. How about booking a suite for him in the hotel next door?"

Wu Tong looked at Fang Xue Shu and thought that it was a bit obvious that you were licking like this. He shook his head slightly and said, "Forget it, no need for now. I'll ask him next time to see if he needs it."

Fang Xue Shu: "Didn't he say on the train last time that he wanted a house of his own?"

Wu Tong was stunned, and then remembered that Wang Cheng told them on the train last time that he would keep making money by singing songs until he could afford a house by the Huangpu River!

So, maybe Wang Cheng has relatively high requirements for accommodation?

Wu Tong immediately said: "Then book him a presidential suite for a month and get a discount..."

Fang Xue Shu: "Okay, let's reserve the presidential suite."

Wu Tong directly picked up the phone and called Wang Cheng.

Wang Cheng was still reading at this time and was about to lie down and take a nap. When he saw Wu Tong calling, he answered the call.

Wang Cheng on the other side didn't say anything. Wu Tong smiled and said, "Wang Cheng, I didn't disturb your lunch break, did I?"

Wang Cheng: "No, what's the matter?"

If you have something to say, talk about it, if nothing happens, hang up!

Wu Tong understood what Wang Cheng meant. He was used to Wang Cheng's style and didn't mind. He said directly: "Are you satisfied with your current residence? We are worried that you will be uncomfortable, so we plan to book a hotel for you in a hotel not far next door. How about I give you the presidential suite until the end of the show recording?"

Presidential suite?

Wang Cheng had stayed in the hotel countless times in his previous life. Apart from being comfortable, it had no other benefits for him now. It was too high-profile, there were many people in the hotel, and he often encountered paparazzi. He immediately refused: "No, just Living in a dormitory is pretty good.”

After saying that, Wang Cheng was ready to hang up the phone.

Wu Tong asked hurriedly: "Okay, have you seen the sales of your new songs?"

Wang Cheng: "No!"

Wu Tong was not too surprised by Wang Cheng's answer. He was already used to it: "Okay, have a good rest. Goodbye."

Wang Cheng didn't care about anything they cared about.

Snapped!

Wang Cheng had already hung up the phone, turned on mute and lay down to sleep.

Wu Tong shook his head, smiled bitterly, and said to Fang Xue Shu, "Forget it, he doesn't need it. Let's go, let's go eat too."

Fang Xue Shu nodded, thinking about Wang Cheng's behavior, but still felt weird and uncertain.

Several assistant directors and staff members around heard the conversation between the two and looked at each other with strange expressions.

…

After the program recording is over, it’s a rare day off!

Wang Cheng got up from his nap. Instead of staying in the dormitory and reading, he went outside for a walk to get some fresh air. Then he came back, wrote for a while, and then continued reading!

It wasn't until dinner time that Wang Cheng walked out of the dormitory again and went to the cafeteria to eat.

Huang Bin and Mo Bailin also slept all afternoon to catch up on the sleep they had lost in the past few days. They waited outside for Wang Cheng and went to dinner with Wang Cheng.

Seeing Wang Cheng appear, Huang Bin and Mo Bailin followed him.

Huang Bin smiled and said: "Hahaha, Wang Cheng's performance today was definitely the most exciting. Teacher Sun said that he learned a lot from following us."

Mo Bailin asked in a low voice: "Wang Cheng, our new song has been released for so long, how many sales has it had?"

Several people looked at Wang Cheng eagerly. This was the main reason why they were waiting for Wang Cheng...

Judging from the popularity of this song on the Internet, they seem to be very popular. For this reason, their fan base has increased again. In this afternoon alone, Huang Bin gained more than 300,000 fans, and Mo Bailin gained more fans. There are 200,000 fans, and several others have also added about 100,000 fans.

They naturally want to know at this time, how many sales of the songs they sing?

Wang Cheng understood their mood very well, so he did not refuse. He took out his mobile phone and went to the backstage of Penguin Music, and handed it directly to Huang Bin.

Huang Bin and Mo Bailin took it and gathered around to look at it carefully.

First, they saw Jingwumen's sales of more than 13 million, which they had envied before.

Then came Wuha, which they sang by themselves. The sales volume has reached 12 million, and they will soon catch up with Jingwumen. This makes them a little proud, and they can completely surpass Zhang Hanwen and the others.

Finally, there is the Gekko Walking that was just uploaded today. It was uploaded at around one o'clock at noon. It has only been more than seven hours now, but the sales have already exceeded 5 million, and the sales growth rate is astonishing.

Several people showed surprised smiles.

"Wow, so many?"

"That's more than five million? It's more popular than the previous two songs."

"Aren't we going to have over 10 million sales by tomorrow? Hahaha, that's cool."

"Awesome!"

"Brother Cheng, you are so awesome."

Although they were surprised, of course they didn't forget to brag to Wang Cheng.

Wang Cheng looked calm and didn't pay attention to what the children said. He just took the mobile phone handed over by Huang Bin and went to get food.

Seeing that Wang Cheng didn't even look at the data on his phone, Huang Bin smiled, followed Wang Cheng to eat, and whispered: "Wang Cheng, I want to tell you something."

Wang Cheng nodded: "Yes!"

Huang Bin lowered his voice: "Director Liu just called me to ask about your situation and asked if he could ask you for a song. I said I couldn't do it."

Want a song?

Is Liu Jinfeng going to take a detour to save the country? Why don't you tell yourself personally and let others do it?

Wang Cheng smiled lightly: "You did the right thing."

Huang Bin nodded, knowing himself and knowing that he was not qualified to ask Wang Cheng for anything, and asked curiously: "I heard someone say that you owe Zhang Hanwen a song, right?"

Wang Cheng's eyebrows moved. Has this matter been spread to everyone?

He nodded: "Well, I promised to write a song for him when he debuts."

Huang Bin and Mo Bailin listened with envy on their faces.

Although they are all singing Wang Cheng's songs now, those songs belong to Wang Cheng. Whether it is copyright or profit, it has nothing to do with them. They just enjoy the popularity bonus brought by the popularity of the song. This is still the case when Wang Cheng After Cheng.

Because those fans only recognize Wang Cheng.

However, Wang Cheng gave Zhang Hanwen a song and gave everything to Zhang Hanwen. Zhang Hanwen got greater benefits and could bypass Wang Cheng to promote himself.

Mo Bailin smiled and said: "Zhang Hanwen is so lucky."

Wang Cheng didn't comment on this, he just sat down and ate by himself, no longer chatting with Huang Bin and others.

Seeing that Wang Cheng didn't want to talk, Huang Bin and Mo Bailin kept silent and continued eating.

After Wang Cheng finished eating, he nodded to a few people, got up and left.

Huang Bin and Mo Bailin all smiled at Wang Cheng and watched Wang Cheng leave...

Mo Bailin shook his head and said: "I heard Brother Yong say that in the whole company, only Zhang Hanwen can chat with Wang Cheng for a few words, and often calls Wang Cheng in private. The others are not qualified! This kid Zhang Hanwen, no Know how to do it..."

They haven't had a casual chat with Wang Cheng for so long. They always talk about things when they have something to say and shut up when they don't.

Inexplicably, several people felt that the two songs they sang by Wang Cheng were not so good anymore, and they all felt a little envious of Zhang Hanwen.

They still lost to Zhang Hanwen.

…

Wang Cheng returned to the dormitory again and received a message from Zhang Hanwen - Eastern Star is broadcast today, remember to watch it!

Wang Cheng replied with three simple words - no time!

Zhang Hanwen said nothing and wisely did not disturb Wang Cheng again.

Wang Cheng has no interest in paying attention to the Eastern Star program group. It is just a stage for the program. He has no habit of holding grudges or anything. It has passed, so he is too lazy to pay attention to it, so that he can live more relaxedly.

But, he doesn't pay attention.

Most people in the entire entertainment industry and variety show field are paying attention.

They all want to know, can the Eastern Star rise and return to its peak this time?

Of course, they all know that it is almost impossible to return to the top. For Eastern Star, it is considered a success if it can stabilize the ratings of the previous period. It is enough to make a smooth transition to the end of this season.

But……

After the show aired and the ratings data came out, the industry was still in an uproar.

because.

The ratings of this episode of Eastern Star were only 1.6 at the beginning, and then the trend was very stable, maintaining between 1.6 and 1.5, with the lowest being 1.5 and the highest being 1.65!

Such ratings are definitely a success for an ordinary traffic variety show.

However, for Eastern Star, it was from the peak to the trough.

The Eastern Star program team still carries out publicity as usual, and the companies behind each contestant still invest some resources in hyping them to attract popularity.

Zhang Hanwen and others have enjoyed the company's resource tilt. After all, he is now a second-tier star, and he still has a long-term contract with the company for seven or eight years. He must be the backbone of the company, and Liu Jinfeng can no longer ignore it.

When Wang Cheng was getting ready to go to bed, he received a call from Wu Tong.

Wu Tong: "Wang Cheng, have you watched Eastern Star?"

Wang Cheng: "No!"

Wu Tong was silent for two seconds and then asked: "Do you know the ratings of Eastern Star just now?"

Wang Cheng still replied: "I don't know!"

Wu Tong wondered if Wang Cheng was from the entertainment industry?

The nineteen-year-old sometimes feels like an outsider.

Wu Tong put aside the doubts in his mind and continued: "The ratings of this episode of Eastern Star continue to decline, only about 1.6. It is completely ruined! I heard that Eastern Star will stop production next year! I hope that we The cooperation between them can be stable.”

Wang Cheng said calmly: "Director Wu, I respect the contract."

Wu Tong felt relieved: "Okay, I won't disturb your rest."

Wang Cheng: "Well, goodbye."

Wu Tong: "Goodbye!"

hang up the phone.

Wang Cheng packed up and lay down to sleep.

But Wu Tong is still checking the post-production side, and together with Fang Xueshu, he is preparing to stay up late tonight.

After seeing the ratings of Eastern Star, the two of them were also frightened. They were walking on thin ice when producing the program. They carefully considered every detail to ensure that they achieved the stage effect they wanted most. They were afraid that any mistake in any detail would affect the broadcast tomorrow night. ratings.

…

the next day.

Just when Wang Cheng got up at six o'clock, he received Wu Tong's call again.

"Wang Cheng, remember to post a message on Weibo today to warm up the show. I'm sorry to bother you."

Wu Tong didn't sleep all night, and now he was stuck waiting for Wang Cheng to get up before calling Wang Cheng.

Witnessing the decline in ratings of Eastern Star yesterday, Wu Tong used all resources to warm up for tonight's program.

Every trainee contestant and every judge has sent several messages for tonight's show, calling on fans to remember to watch.

Wu Tong didn't call Wang Cheng until this morning.

Wang Cheng agreed: "Okay, this is my job."

Finished.

Wang Cheng hung up and posted a message on Weibo: "Spring and Summer with You will be broadcast at 8:30 tonight, please remember to tune in!"

After I finished my hair, I started to wash up and then went out for a morning run.

Wu Tong was staring at Wang Cheng's Weibo. Seeing that Wang Cheng was very cooperative, he immediately posted a Weibo message with a smile on his face. Wu Tong said to Xueshu: "This is what Wang Cheng said, respect the contract. Work hard. He regards posting on Weibo as part of his job, and it is also required in the contract. He is obliged to cooperate with the program team for regular publicity through social accounts!"

Fang Xue Shu: "This is both a contract and a job, so he is willing to cooperate?"

Wu Tong nodded: "Yes!"

Fang Xue Shu looked at Wu Tong and said with a smile: "You have finally understood Wang Cheng's research."

Wu Tong shook his head and said nothing, just staring at Wang Cheng's Weibo. He saw that Wang Cheng's Weibo account had more than 23 million fans. The news just released, at six o'clock in the morning, also It quickly attracted a large number of fans to watch.

In just a few minutes, tens of thousands of people liked and retweeted it, and thousands of people left comments!

This fandom, stickiness, and appeal are no longer inferior to those of the top, super first-tier, or even super giants.

In no time, Wang Cheng’s Weibo message became one of the top ten most popular.

"The publicity department of the program team will immediately cooperate to promote the hype..."

Wu Tong said.

Fang Xueshu nodded to express his understanding. He came to stay up late and work overtime with the program team. It was just for psychological purposes and had no substantive effect. He just listened to Wu Tong's arrangements and expressed his high recognition of Wu Tong's abilities.

Ding, Wu Tong received another message, glanced at it, and turned his phone to Fang Xueshu: "Look!"

Fang Xue Shu only glanced at it, his pupils condensed, and he asked in surprise: "Is it true or false?"

Wu Tong took back his phone: "Of course it's true."

Fang Xueshu took Wu Tong's phone again and looked at it carefully: "How can this song Gecko Walking be so popular? It hasn't even been a day, right? The sales have exceeded 8 million? In that day, the sales can exceed 10 million?" When I listen to this song, I just feel weird and comfortable, nothing special."

Wu Tong shook his head and said: "I have the same idea as you, but that is just our own feeling and does not represent the market. This song is very popular among young people. The young people in the program team are always recycling singles Listen to it. I heard that some nightclubs played this song last night.”

“On short video platforms such as Douyue and Weishi, the combined playback volume of this song has exceeded 50 million, and this is just less than one day’s data.”

"I asked several music professionals, and they all spoke highly of this song. They said it was Wang Cheng showing off his skills. Do you understand what showing off his skills means?"

Fang Xueshu smiled bitterly and returned the phone to Wu Tong. Of course he understood the meaning of showing off his skills, which meant that the quality of the song was very high. He said, "So, the ratings of the program we broadcast tonight will definitely be the same."

Wu Tong nodded affirmatively and said expectantly: "Yes, that's for sure! This song has sold over 10 million in a single day and is extremely popular. Our lower limit of ratings will not be too low, it depends on how high it can climb. "

Sales of over 10 million in a single day...

This is something that very few people have been able to do since the era of online music, and only one or two people can do it every year.

But this year, only one person had done it before Wang Cheng. It was a new song released by one of the few super-A-listers in the traffic star circle. It had been promoted and warmed up for a week in advance, and the sales volume on the first day of release was It exceeded 12 million, creating the highest single-day sales of the year. Of course, it is impossible to achieve such high sales every day in the future. The monthly sales stopped at 35 million, winning the monthly sales championship and the highest monthly sales so far this year. single.

Now, Wang Cheng is the second celebrity artist to do this this year, and he did it as a 19-year-old trainee. He is definitely the first in the history of the Internet music era.
