Chapter 149 147. Ruined the road to film and television? If he doesn't go, neither will I! (seeking subscription)
to be honest…
Wang Cheng performed in the Spring Festival Gala many times in another world in his previous life.
So, he has no obsession with this stage.
Unlike some celebrities who dream of going to the Spring Festival Gala, as long as the Spring Festival Gala sends out an invitation, they will desperately want to participate.
but!
He has been on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala so many times in his previous life, and he has never been invited by the director himself.
Of course, he never tried to refuse the invitation to the Spring Festival Gala in his previous life.
The directors of the Spring Festival Gala are definitely big names in the industry. There is no doubt about it. Either they are senior directors in the system cooperated by CCTV itself, or they are famous directors in the film and television industry. They have great appeal and popularity. Coupled with the CCTV Spring Festival Gala's signature, it is basically impossible for anyone to refuse the invitation it sends out.
The most important thing is that the selection range of the Spring Festival Gala director is the entire entertainment circle, there is almost no one who cannot be replaced, so if someone really refuses, then the director will be able to find a replacement soon.
Therefore, it is impossible for a star artist to be invited personally by the director of the Spring Festival Gala.
And now...
This director Xie Xingfeng actually came to him in person.
Wang Cheng was slightly surprised by the calmness he had cultivated during this period of time, but he was just a little surprised. He shook hands and nodded, then took out the key and opened the dormitory door on his own, without saying anything to Xie Xingfeng.
Xie Xingfeng looked at Wang Cheng, and the displeasure and embarrassment in his eyes were fleeting.
He had learned a lot of information about Wang Cheng in advance, and he was psychologically prepared for Wang Cheng's character, so facing Wang Cheng's indifference, he quickly suppressed his instinctive anger and continued: "Wang Cheng, last time I heard Liu Jinfeng Say, you declined the invitation from our program group, can you tell me why?"
"To show my sincerity, I came to meet you in person today. You are the most important actor in our Spring Festival Gala plan this year, bar none!"
open the door!
Wang Cheng walked in.
Shen Shenghui followed in and invited Xie Xingfeng to go in together.
Wang Cheng sat down in his chair, picked up the book he hadn't finished before and continued to read, shook his head, and said calmly: "Sorry, thank you! It is impossible to change the live broadcast time of the Spring Festival Gala like tomorrow's idol, so I I think I will never have the chance to cooperate with the Spring Festival Gala program group."
Xie Xingfeng was taken aback for a moment, he had thought of this reason in advance.
Because, Wang Cheng's strange rule has been spread in the circle, that is, his work and rest time will never change. If you cooperate with him, you must abide by his work and rest time.
However, he still didn't believe it.
after all…
Who would refuse the Spring Festival Gala?
Who would refuse the invitation to the Spring Festival Gala for this reason?
Who doesn’t want to be seen by the people across the country at the annual Spring Festival gala?
But!
Wang Cheng is like this.
He has no idea about the Spring Festival Gala.
At eight o'clock he has to get off work, so there is no way to perform.
Xie Xingfeng and Shen Shenghui were silent for a while after hearing this, and stared at Wang Cheng.
Shen Shenghui stepped forward and whispered to Wang Cheng: "Wang Cheng, Director Xie has cooperated with our Rubik's Cube Entertainment several times, and the relationship is very close. Can you give me a little face? If you reject the Spring Festival Gala now, you will be in the domestic entertainment industry in the future." But you have created an enemy, and CCTV may not have any cooperation with you."
Xie Xingfeng looked at the two of them, hoping that Shen Shenghui could persuade Wang Cheng.
He is the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala for the first time this year, and he is under a lot of pressure.
In the past ten years, the ratings and word-of-mouth of the Spring Festival Gala have plummeted. From the ratings of more than 90 twenty years ago, to the ratings of more than 30 ten years ago, and now there are only less than 20 points left. Every year, more and more investment is made, but the reputation in exchange is getting lower and lower...
CCTV and the government want to save the reputation and ratings of the Spring Festival Gala every year, so the director is getting younger and younger.
Xie Xingfeng is the youngest of the directors who directed the Spring Festival Gala, and he wanted him to bring about some youthful changes.
Xie Xingfeng pays close attention to current affairs and knows that Wang Cheng is the biggest variable in Huaxia's entertainment circle this year.
After watching several performances by Wang Cheng, Xie Xingfeng made up his mind to invite Wang Cheng to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, which should attract many young people to watch.
Moreover, Wang Cheng's three martial arts performances were greatly affirmed by Xie Xingfeng and the entire Spring Festival Gala program group, and were also praised by the official media.
If Wang Cheng is allowed to perform Chinese Kung Fu on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, it will definitely become the most classic performance on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala in recent years.
So, after he called Shen Shenghui last night, he was afraid of lack of sincerity, so he came to Shanghai to meet Wang Cheng in person, and wanted to persuade Wang Cheng face to face.
But!
Wang Cheng still ignored Shen Shenghui, but calmly looked at the book in his hand.
Shen Shenghui's cheek muscles twitched. He was a little embarrassed to be so ignored by his company's artists in front of outsiders, but he didn't want to get angry in front of Xie Xingfeng. He turned around and smiled at Xie Xingfeng: "Director Xie, you saw...Wang Cheng That's it…"
Although Wang Cheng's performance in the Spring Festival Gala may be delayed for three or four months.
However, Rubik's Cube Entertainment will try its best to persuade Wang Cheng to perform.
The purpose is not to offend the Spring Festival Gala program group and CCTV.
Xie Xingfeng nodded to Shen Shenghui, stepped forward and sat down in front of Wang Cheng, and said seriously: "Wang Cheng, your martial arts trilogy are all good works that can become classics, and there are many traditional Chinese cultural elements in them. You Don’t you want to be seen by more people? I can respect your work and rest time, during the early rehearsal and rehearsal time, you just follow your work and rest time.”
"When you only need the last few days of on-site rehearsals and official performances, you can follow our normal live broadcast time and only delay your time for a few days, is that okay?"
"If you agree, I, Xie Xingfeng, owe you a favor! Although I'm not a great person, in the entertainment industry, I'm Xie Xingfeng, and I still have some face. When you need my help in the future, you can call me at any time. Definitely help you..."
"Even if you want the leading role in my movie next time, I don't have anything to say. You don't need an audition, so I'll just give it to you!"
Hearing Xie Xingfeng's favor and the protagonist's promise in the movie, Shen Shenghui's eyes lit up.
This is one of the leading figures among the new generation of directors in China. He debuted for 20 years and served as assistants to several big directors before. He only directed it himself in the past ten years. The box office of the three films he shot all reached one billion in China. The word of mouth is also very good.
So, every time Xie Xingfeng started shooting a new film, many actors and actresses in the circle would flock to move, hoping to get some important roles from it.
However, Xie Xingfeng's requirements are relatively strict. Every time he chooses a role, he only pays attention to his strength and whether he fits the role, not his qualifications and popularity.
Therefore, many talented actors who were previously unknown have been promoted by Xie Xingfeng's film works, and they have become popular at the level of first-line or even super-first-line celebrities.
Mofang Entertainment has always wanted to establish a relatively stable cooperative relationship with Xie Xingfeng, but there is no better opportunity!
Now seeing that Xie Xingfeng even used the protagonist of his own movie as a bargaining chip in order to invite Wang Cheng to appear in the Spring Festival Gala, Shen Shenghui's eyes were full of emotion and envy, and he wished he could directly agree to it for Wang Cheng...
Of course he would not let Wang Cheng be the protagonist, but wanted to use this to get the opportunity to invest in Xie Xingfeng's next movie!
After all, capital is the most profitable way!
Xie Xingfeng’s movies are basically guaranteed to make money. Once the project is confirmed, the investment share will be scrambled by all film and television entertainment companies. Rubik’s Cube Entertainment has no relationship with him, so he has never received investment opportunities for his projects.
Now, Shen Shenghui saw an opportunity.
But!
Wow...
The voice that responded to Xie Xingfeng was Shen Shenghui's familiar voice, which was the crisp sound of flipping through the paper.
Wang Cheng turned the pages of the book, continued to read the book, and said softly: "I don't need any protagonists. I said that I only have one requirement. If we can do it, we will cooperate. For other contract terms, you can directly discuss with the company. .”
Only one requirement?
Xie Xingfeng was taken aback for a moment, and then his expression changed slightly.
Because the only requirement of Wang Cheng, which is widely spread in the circle, is that his work and rest time remain unchanged. After it was exposed on the Tomorrow Idol stage, many people called him a worker in the entertainment industry, and he was a worker who never worked overtime. .
Take a deep breath…
Xie Xingfeng stretched out three fingers, and said seriously: "Wang Cheng, I only need three days, you only need three days of overtime, one day of live performance on the day of the Spring Festival Gala, and two days of rehearsal, just these three days. Allow to come according to your own time! You are only nineteen years old, and you still have a lot of time in the future. I promise, I will support you as the protagonist of my three works in the future. This promise, as long as you are still in the circle, I will still be in the circle If you are guilty, it will work. When do you want to act, come to me directly, the protagonist must be you..."
Thinking of the current hot topic on the Internet about Wang Cheng and the martial arts trilogy, and the affirmation of the official media. Xie Xingfeng knew that if Wang Cheng was not invited to the Spring Festival Gala stage this year, then the Spring Festival Gala he directed would be a failure, and the audience would not approve of it.
So, he did not hesitate to promise Wang Cheng the protagonist of the three movies!
Based on the performance of his previous works, the protagonists of the three works are enough to promote a newcomer actor to the position of a super star, and it may not be possible to become a super giant in the future...
Wang Cheng's development in music and variety shows can be said to be at the pinnacle now. If Wang Cheng plays the leading role in Xie Xingfeng's works three more times in the future, he will also reach the pinnacle on the big screen!
By the time…
Shen Shenghui didn't even dare to think about it.
because!
He only thought of a similar person at this time.
That is the only legendary superstar in the entire Chinese entertainment industry with over 100 million fans, Liu Qianhua, who is known as the living fossil of the Chinese entertainment industry.
The only existence that has achieved super achievements in the three major fields of film and television songs. His achievements in film and television songs can almost represent the epitome of the development of China's entertainment industry in the past 30 years, so it is called the living fossil of the entertainment industry. .
At this time, Wang Cheng's development track is almost exactly the same as that legendary existence in the Chinese entertainment industry, and his achievements may be even higher.
After all, although Liu Ganhua is one of the evergreen kings in the field of pop music, and countless classic works have been handed down in the past 30 years, he has never broken sales records, nor has he made any groundbreaking music achievements. It can only be said that he has achieved quite a lot It's just a king-level singer.
However, Wang Cheng has broken the sales records of Chinese online music many times in a row, and has also achieved groundbreaking and amazing achievements in the field of music creation and production, promoting the development of the Chinese music scene with his own efforts.
Even if Wang Cheng stops his development in music and no longer publishes his works, many years later he will become a legendary figure in the history of Chinese pop music.
Therefore, Wang Cheng's future achievements in music must be higher than the legendary super giant Liu Ganhua.
...
In the future, his status before Chinese entertainment may still be higher than that of Liu Qianhua at this time.
Hoo...
Shen Shenghui took a deep breath and looked at Wang Cheng carefully, feeling as if he was watching a living legend.
But.
This living legend is too out of control.
Shen Shenghui stepped forward and said to Wang Cheng: "Wang Cheng, the protagonist of Director Xie's movie, all the actors in the entire circle, want to get it! Don't miss it..."
Wang Cheng didn't speak, just shook his head gently.
I came back late last night and didn't go to bed on time.
Just let him feel uncomfortable today, always feeling that something is wrong, and plan to sleep more when he takes a nap at noon.
so!
In the future, he will definitely pay more attention and strictly abide by the work and rest time plan he made!
Spring Festival Gala...
Forget it!
As for the commitment of the three male protagonists, it seems that Wang Cheng took advantage of it.
But Wang Cheng could see Xie Xingfeng's plan at a glance.
Although he didn't know his popularity and popularity online, he could also know from Han Xiao's words that it was absolutely terrifying.
So, if you invite him to be the leading actor, who will make more money?
It is clear at a glance.
Wang Cheng didn't speak, just read a book by himself.
Right now, he doesn't have any interest in acting.
In his previous life, he spent too much time and energy on acting, and suffered from the most occupational diseases.
Wow...
There was another crisp sound of flipping a book.
no answer.
Wang Cheng didn’t bother to continue what he said once.
The dormitory was quiet for more than a minute.
Xie Xingfeng and Shen Shenghui both stared at Wang Cheng. Wang Cheng read the book by himself, but no one spoke.
Then, Xie Xingfeng's expression gradually calmed down, and his eyes were very calmly staring at Wang Cheng.
Sweat dripped from Shen Shenghui's forehead, feeling a lot of pressure, he opened his mouth to break the strange calm, and said in a low voice: "Director Xie, Wang Cheng is like this, why don't you forget it?"
Xie Xingfeng glanced at Wang Cheng, didn't say anything, just stood up, turned and walked out.
He had already made such a heavy promise, but Wang Cheng still refused without saying a word, and he would not say another word.
As the leader of the new generation of directors, Xie Xingfeng also has absolute pride in his heart.
Shen Shenghui frowned and glanced at Wang Cheng, then quickly followed Xie Xingfeng's footsteps, and said in a low voice: "Director Xie, how about going to our company for a ride? Mr. Qin talked about Director Xie on the plane yesterday, saying that Director Xie is now The most powerful young director in the Chinese entertainment industry, the Chinese film and television industry will depend on you in the future."
Xie Xingfeng looked calm, and said lightly: "Mr. Qin is over the award."
Shen Shenghui smiled and said: "I think this is the truth. Director Xie, don't be angry with a person like Wang Cheng, it's not worth it. He's only nineteen years old, just a spoiled child who exploded suddenly. Otherwise, you Let’s look at our company again, are there any other people who are suitable for the Spring Festival Gala? Don’t worry, except for Wang Cheng, I can definitely help you with anyone else, including Hu Fei.”
Xie Xingfeng walked down the stairs and smiled: "We have only confirmed two candidates for the time being. Wang Cheng is one of them, and the first person we contact is Wang Cheng. We have not yet decided on the other candidates. If the director helps, I will definitely speak."
Shen Shenghui smiled and said, "That's absolutely no problem."
Xie Xingfeng said in a low voice: "Boss Qin bought Dongxing Entertainment for 5.2 billion, of which at least 4 billion was spent on Wang Cheng alone? I think this business may be at a loss. Wang Cheng's Talent and strength are definitely worthy of recognition, but character kills people. Over the years, are there still few examples of talented newcomers who eventually disappeared due to character flaws?"
After finishing speaking, Xie Xingfeng stopped talking.
Shen Shenghui also smiled, and he didn't dare to comment on this topic. He didn't dare to speak casually when it involved Qin Yuhai's decision. If it spread, it would be fatal.
Shen Shenghui asked curiously: "Director Xie said that he has confirmed two candidates now, besides Wang Cheng, who is the other?"
Xie Xingfeng said softly: "The two hottest newcomers this year, who else is there besides Wang Cheng?"
Shen Shenghui frowned slightly: "Wen Yixiao!"
Xie Xingfeng retreated a little bit: "Yes!"
After finishing speaking, Xie Xingfeng walked towards the car that came to pick him up.
Shen Shenghui hurriedly said: "Director Xie, don't be in such a hurry, our President Qin still wants to invite you to have lunch together."
Xie Xingfeng shook his head: "No, I have to rush back to the capital, there are too many things! If Wang Cheng hadn't refused once, I really don't want him to miss this stage, and I wouldn't come here in person. The program team just set up over there , There are too many things, I can't leave at all... Next time, I will invite President Qin next time."
After speaking, Xie Xingfeng waved to Shen Shenghui, got in the car and left.
Shen Shenghui watched Xie Xingfeng leave, turned around and entered the apartment building again, and said to the dormitory aunt at the door: "What did Wang Cheng do in the dormitory before?"
Aunt Suguan knew that the other party was her immediate boss, the same as Liu Jinfeng before, but much more powerful than Liu Jinfeng, and she didn't hide anything at the moment, saying: "Wang Cheng, every time I came back from the show, I just read books. Among all the trainees, running, writing, etc., is the most well-behaved one, and the one who likes to learn the most."
Shen Shenghui nodded. The information was useless to him. He stepped upstairs and came to the door of Wang Cheng's dormitory again.
tuk tuk...
"Come in!"
Wang Cheng's calm voice came.
Only then did Shen Shenghui open the door and walk in. Seeing that Wang Cheng was still reading, he said solemnly: "Wang Cheng, you have completely offended Director Xie by doing this. He came to invite you in person, but you rejected him. Let it spread in the future." , he will lose face."
Wang Cheng ignored Shen Shenghui and just read his own book.
Shen Shenghui continued: "Director Xie is a serious student who graduated from the Directing Department of Beijing Film Academy. He has worked with several big directors before and has a great influence in the Beijing circle. If you offend him, it will mean that you have cut off your future acting path. Unless, You have worked with a few directors in the south, and they have always been very different from the Beijing circle. Moreover, there will not be much success."
Silent...
Wang Cheng still ignored Shen Shenghui.
Shen Shenghui was also a little speechless. Although he had experienced this kind of treatment several times, he still couldn't help being speechless and annoyed. He said in a deep voice, "Besides, you will also implicate the company."
This is the point he wants to say.
Wow!
The sound of flipping the book sounded again.
Shen Shenghui took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then said: "Well, I won't talk about it. You take a break these few days. Maybe, you won't have any rest time in the future. Unless, you are willing to continue with the company. about…"
Shen Shenghui looked at Wang Cheng's expression which was still calm, and said nothing, turned around, closed the door and left.
Wang Cheng read the book for a while, but he didn't take what Xie Xingfeng said and what Shen Shenghui said just now to his heart. After the contract ended, he had nothing to do with anything about the entertainment industry.
Soon, it’s time for lunch!
Wang Cheng came to the cafeteria and had a simple lunch alone.
Most of the other trainees asked for leave to go home, fearing that the turmoil in the company would be affected, and a small number of those who did not go home were training like Zhang Hanwen, and would not come back to eat at the training base.
So, Wang Cheng ate alone in the cafeteria, and the chef cooked three dishes for him, one meat and two vegetables.
Just finished a meal.
The phone rings...
Wang Cheng picked it up and connected it.
Han Xiao's happy voice came from the phone: "Haha, you answered my call. Have you had lunch yet?"
Wang Cheng: "Yes!"
Han Xiao: "Aren't you going to buy a house? I asked my friend to contact some for sale, which are more suitable. Do you want to go and have a look? They are all rough houses without decoration! The price is around 80 million to 100 million , with an area of about 200 to 400 square meters, all of which are large flats facing the Huangpu River..."
Wang Cheng: "I don't have any money now, so I don't want to watch it."
Han Xiao: "Hurry up Penguin Music! The total sales of your songs have exceeded 500 million. Your sales must be the top sharing contract, right? You can get 80%, which is 400 million You only need to ask them to give you an advance payment of 100 million in sales, and they will definitely agree. You are their pillar now..."
Wang Cheng: "Forget it!"
Advancing the share in advance is also considered asking for help. Wang Cheng will not do it. Wait for Penguin Music to follow the normal payment process. It will be credited to the account within one or two months at most.
Finished speaking.
Wang Cheng was about to hang up the phone.
Han Xiao hurriedly said: "Oh, don't hang up. Even if you don't have the money to buy it now, let's go and have a look first, choose a set that is pleasing to the eye, and then pay directly for the procedure."
Wang Cheng thought about it, and agreed: "Well! Wait for me to take a nap."
Now his manager is in the hands of Mofang Entertainment. The last time Yu Jinghong of Penguin Entertainment and Qin Yuhai, the owner of Mofang Entertainment, confronted him. Although he didn't take a look, he knew it clearly in his heart. It was a show for him.
However, even the price of 6 billion was rejected. He knew that Qin Yuhai would definitely not let him leave Rubik's Cube Entertainment.
So, during the remaining nearly two years of the contract, if he has spare time, he may be in Shanghai.
The plan to buy a house in Shanghai can continue.
First look at the house...
Wait for the sales of the songs to come down, pay directly, and then decorate, and you can live in it within half a year at most!
Han Xiao said excitedly: "Okay, I'll wait for you downstairs in two hours."
Wang Cheng: "Yes!"
After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone.
Seeing that the phone number was still just a string of numbers, Wang Cheng made a note and wrote Han Xiao's name.
This is the fourth phone number saved with notes in his phone. The first four are his parents and Zhang Hanwen. He deleted all the ones saved before. However, even if it was a string of numbers that came in, as long as he had seen it before, Wang Cheng could also rely on his powerful memory to see at a glance whose call it was.
At this time, Wang Cheng saved Han Xiao on his phone.
Sighed softly, a trace of seriousness flashed in his eyes.
For the first time, Wang Cheng included Han Xiao in his investigation of future life partners.
certainly.
He will not tell Han Xiao about this.
After eating, I went back to the dormitory and took a nap. I slept for two hours.
After getting up, I tidied up a little and went out.
Wang Cheng still put on a mask and peaked cap to go out, and carried a thermos cup. Under the watchful eyes of the housekeeper, he waited at the door for a minute, and an ordinary family car drove over from the parking lot in the distance. , stopped beside Wang Cheng, Han Xiao poked his head out from the driver's seat, and said with a smile, "Get in the car!"
Wang Cheng opened the door and sat in the second row instead of the co-pilot.
Han Xiao drove off skillfully, and said, "I found an ordinary car, so it's more low-key. Let's go to Wenxiuyuan to have a look first. There are two houses for sale there, with a total price of around 80 million. , more than 300 square meters. In this community, many top celebrities in the circle have houses."
Hearing this, Wang Cheng immediately denied it: "Then I won't go!"
Han Xiao immediately understood Wang Cheng's choice, not a community with entertainment circles!
It needs to be cleaner and the environment better...
At the moment, Han Xiao said: "Okay then, there are a few more houses... I'll take you to see them all this afternoon..."
Wang Cheng hummed.
Han Xiao smiled all over his face. Wang Cheng's nunchaku was playing in the car, and he hummed along with him from time to time. He was very happy. He even glanced at Wang Cheng in the rearview mirror, his eyes full of happiness.
This is the first time she called Wang Cheng out, and the two of them went to do something together!
…
Southern Guangdong Province.
Tomorrow's Idol Program Group meeting room.
The meeting room at this time is no longer lively and happy as before.
There is only a trace of depression and heaviness!
Guo Shouxin and Liu Jiahui had never stopped their cigarettes, and several others were also lighting cigarettes, and the office was filled with smoke.
Everyone is stressed out!
The highlights of the latest lottery in the morning have been released.
But…
Feedback is far worse than before.
The voice of the person in charge of the data is much softer than before: "The latest lottery video is on Penguin Video, and the playback volume so far is only more than 8 million... less than 10% of the same period last week..."
Guo Shouxin took a sharp puff of his cigarette, pressed the cigarette **** into the already filled ashtray, and asked lightly: "How many views of the live video that was launched yesterday?"
The person in charge of the data immediately said: "Yesterday, it was launched an hour after the live broadcast ended. It has been 20 hours now, and the number of views has exceeded 1.5 billion... The number of viewers is still increasing sharply. It is estimated that the number of weekly views may exceed 4 billion. "
"Other countries in Southeast Asia were also launched at the same time, and the broadcast data is also very impressive, with the number of broadcasts exceeding 500 million..."
The person in charge of publicity added: "The matter of Wang Cheng's departure from the program group is still the most popular topic. Since the news was announced yesterday, the number of people discussing it has exceeded 50 million! Many people are afraid that they will not see Wang Cheng on our program in the future." Cheng's performance, so everyone went to watch the video of Wang Cheng's performance. The video playback data is even higher."
The person in charge of the data nodded: "Yes, not only is the latest period's data very high, but the growth rate of the previous period's data has also increased a lot."
Guo Shouxin asked: "What is the effect of allocating resources to Wen Yixiao and Du Wei?"
The person in charge of the publicity immediately replied: "The effect is not bad, but it is not as explosive as Wang Cheng's. Now Wen Yixiao is ranked third on the popularity list. The first is the topic of Wang Cheng leaving our program group, and the second is Wang Cheng himself. The third is Wen Yixiao, the fourth is Wang Cheng's Nunchaku, the fifth is our program, and the sixth is Du Wei..."
"Although we stopped giving Wang Cheng any traffic resources, Mofang Entertainment has not invested any resources in him now. His popularity has dropped a lot, but he is still in the top two positions. According to the continued decline in popularity, it will take at least the day after tomorrow to fall. The top two positions. At that time, we will run Wen Yixiao to the top of the list..."
The person in charge of the data said: "Wang Cheng's new song Nunchaku sales have exceeded 50 million... It is confirmed that it will break the first-day sales record again. Wen Yixiao's new song sales also reached 20 million. It must be higher than last week!"
"Du Wei's new song sales exceeded 17 million, which can also exceed his own sales data last week."
"Wen Yixiao and Du Wei are worthy of continuing to invest a lot of resources. It's just that they don't have as many topics and traffic fans as Wang Cheng, so with the same resources invested, the popularity and topic volume are far inferior to Wang Cheng!"
The conference room fell silent again.
Liu Jiahui also took a sharp puff of the cigarette butt, threw it in the ashtray, and said lightly: "Everyone, don't be so low-key, Wang Cheng is gone, we will stop doing shows? Even if there is no Wang Cheng, we have Wen Yixiao and Du Wei , the other trainees are not weak, there are a lot of first-line, and there are two top Asian girl groups, Pink Age and Flame Youth, how is this lineup weak?"
An assistant director raised his hand and asked, "Director Guo, Producer Liu, should we change the live broadcast time? If Wang Cheng is not around, our five o'clock live broadcast will be meaningless. As Producer Liu said, our lineup itself is It is very powerful and luxurious, if it is changed back to the prime time at 8 o’clock, and it works well, the ratings will not be bad, and it is guaranteed to be above 3 points, and it may even reach above 3.5, which is not very far from our 4.3 yesterday.”
Guo Shouxin and Liu Jiahui shook their heads at the same time.
Guo Shouxin said affirmatively: "The live broadcast time will not be changed for the time being, it will still be at 5 pm."
Several persons in charge looked at each other, and all of them had inexplicable expressions.
They all know that Guo Shouxin and Liu Jiahui are still looking forward to Wang Cheng's return.
That's why I was reluctant to change the time.
The live broadcast is still at 5 pm.
If the time is changed to the prime time at eight o'clock, then Wang Cheng may never come back at all.
However, almost every staff member in the program group is still looking forward to Wang Cheng coming back and continuing to perform on this stage!
After all, 4.3 ratings...
Who wants to give up?
The meeting ended in a hurry, Guo Shouxin left the meeting room, picked up the phone and called Lei Zhenzong directly.
Lei Zhenzong had just finished the meeting, and when he received a call from Guo Shouxin, he asked in a serious tone, "Director Guo, what's the matter?"
Guo Shouxin has almost never contacted Lei Zhenzong personally. He is a director, not a producer, and the communication with the company is done by the producer Liu Jiahui.
However, this time, Guo Shouxin couldn't help contacting Lei Zhenzong, the top president of Penguin Entertainment, and said after hearing Lei Zhenzong's voice, "Mr. Lei, the popularity of the program group has dropped a lot. The number of views of the lottery video has dropped by more than 90% compared to the same period last week... The ratings this week may not be too optimistic."
Lei Zhenzong sighed: "I know what you want to say. I have sent someone to contact and negotiate with Rubik's Cube Entertainment, trying to negotiate as soon as possible. This weekend's performance, Wang Cheng will definitely not come back again. But, what can we do?" Bringing Wang Cheng back at such a price depends on your ratings."
"You know what I mean?"
Guo Shouxin nodded: "Well, I know, I will try my best!"
Guo Shouxin breathed a sigh of relief, he knew what Lei Zhenzong had conveyed to him was that the head office would bring Wang Cheng back at any cost.
However, the company wants to pay less.
This requires the cooperation of tomorrow's idol program group.
This week's live broadcast, if the ratings are still impressive without Wang Cheng, if the ratings don't drop too much, then it means that Wang Cheng's departure has little impact on tomorrow's idol, and Wang Cheng's importance has also dropped a lot, Penguin The entertainment side has the initiative and can give Rubik's Cube Entertainment less benefits. Even if the ratings are high enough, they may give up Wang Cheng directly to avoid being taken advantage of by Rubik's Cube Entertainment.
And if the ratings of tomorrow's idols drop significantly, then Rubik's Cube Entertainment will take the initiative. In order to save the ratings, Penguin Entertainment will naturally bring Wang Cheng back at any cost, and Mofang Entertainment can only let Mofang Entertainment raise conditions up!
so.
Although Wang Cheng is gone for this week's show.
However, for the program group and Penguin Entertainment, it is more important than any previous issue.
This is their time to prove themselves.
Guo Shouxin put down the phone, rubbed his brows, felt a headache, and asked, "How are the preparations for the Pink Age and Flame Youth going?"
Liu Jiahui said in a low voice: "It should be about the same... Didn't you say that you borrowed the recording studio in the morning? I asked Lao Wang to cooperate with them."
Guo Shouxin asked: "What did Wang say?"
Liu Jiahui smiled bitterly and said, "Old Wang called me more than half an hour ago. He said that he missed Wang Cheng..."
Guo Shouxin frowned and asked, "Didn't they always want to end the cooperation with Wang Cheng?"
Old Wang and the others complained about Wang Cheng, and almost everyone in the program group knew about it.
Why now that the cooperation with Wang Cheng is over, Lao Wang still misses Wang Cheng?
Liu Jiahui shook his head and smiled, "Old Wang said that even though they seem stupid when working with geniuses, they are very relaxed. Working with ordinary people, they are very tired and will be scolded... The Pink Age adapted Wang Cheng's Jingwumen, and then The team from Bangguo was invited to re-arrange and write lyrics, and they also participated in it themselves, so it must not be as smooth as Wang Cheng!"
"They made it outside before, but this time they changed the place, which also affected it..."
Guo Shouxin asked again: "Wen Yixiao and Du Wei are also making new songs?"
Now, the program group mainly relies on Wen Yixiao and Du Wei, so Guo Shouxin expects them to continue to produce high-quality new songs, which is also one of the biggest highlights of the program stage.
Liu Jiahui nodded affirmatively: "Well, this afternoon, Teacher Liu Shengjie and Kong Changxing came over and continued to cooperate with them. Teacher Liu Shengjie said that he called Wang Cheng, but no one answered..."
Guo Shouxin felt a little better: "Fortunately, Liu Shengjie and Kong Changxing offered to help! I can't even get through Wang Cheng's phone..."
Both of them felt a little grateful to Liu Shengjie and Kong Changxing. These two top producers came here to help, not invited by them. Although they also signed the contract and gave them the treatment they deserved, such treatment is usually They cannot be invited.
These two top gold medal music producers cannot be hired with money.
This time they also took a fancy to the strength and potential of Wen Yixiao and Du Wei, so they came to cooperate actively and wanted to continue to show their strength and talent.
It is also because of their cooperation with Wen Yixiao and Du Wei that several new songs have been a great success, which has also added a lot of color to the entire Tomorrow Idol stage.
Otherwise, Wang Cheng alone is too outstanding, and it will appear monotonous.
The addition of Liu Shengjie and Kong Changxing produced several high-quality new songs, which made Wen Yixiao and Du Wei really capable and qualified to become the green leaves beside Wang Cheng.
So, now that Wang Cheng is gone, Wen Yixiao and Du Wei have the slightest possibility to support the stage ratings.
Without the successful accumulation of these new songs, the two would definitely not have such a high popularity now, and the audience's expectations for the stage would drop even more.
Liu Jiahui said in a low voice: "I just heard that Wen Yixiao received an invitation to the Spring Festival Gala. She is hesitating whether to go..."
Guo Shouxin glared and said, "Why are you hesitating?"
Liu Jiahui said with a wry smile: "Because Wang Cheng also received it, but refused. This is the second time he has refused. The last time he received it, he refused. It is said that Director Xie went to Shanghai to meet Wang Cheng in person this morning." On the one hand, I wanted to persuade Wang Cheng to perform on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, but Wang Cheng refused to change his schedule and refused to perform at 8 o'clock..."
"The news came from Rubik's Cube Entertainment. It is said that Director Xie promised a lot of benefits, but in the end Wang Cheng refused."
"Then Mr. Yu received a call from Director Xie, inviting Wen Yixiao to participate in the Spring Festival Gala performance!"
Guo Shouxin blinked his eyes and asked in surprise: "Director Xie personally came to invite Wang Cheng to appear in the Spring Festival Gala?"
He still can't believe it. He has been in the circle for more than ten or twenty years, and this is the first time he has heard of it.
Liu Jiahui nodded affirmatively and said: "That's right, Director Xie came to see Wang Cheng in person. This is the first time that the director of the Spring Festival Gala program group came to invite an artist, but he was rejected in the end. Director Xie will definitely be angry... In the future, It is estimated that the cooperation between Wang Cheng and the Beijing circle will be very difficult."
Guo Shouxin digested this information, and then said lightly: "That's just right, if the Beijing circle excludes Wang Cheng, we will take advantage of it."
Guo Shouxin belongs to the director circle in the south, and he doesn't deal with the directors with the Beijing circle as the core. He hopes that the Beijing circle will not cooperate with Wang Cheng. In the Chinese entertainment circle, Wang Cheng's range of choices is much smaller.
After all, the Beijing circle occupies more than half of the resources and contacts in the Chinese entertainment industry. Beidian and Beiying are the two major talent bases in the Chinese entertainment industry, and have contributed most of the talent base to the entire Chinese entertainment industry for decades.
So, if anyone offends the bigwigs in the Beijing entertainment circle, it will become difficult for them to move forward in the Huaxia entertainment circle.
But…
Now is the time when Wang Cheng is in demand. Even if the Beijing circle squeezes him out, Guo Shouxin is not afraid of offending Xie Xingfeng and other big shots in the Beijing circle, and will insist on cooperating with Wang Cheng.
In front of ratings, in front of interests, everything is false!
Liu Jiahui said seriously: "You think beautifully, Director Zhang, Director Wu and they will not let it go. I heard that they are all in Shanghai now. However, I haven't seen Wang Cheng. They are talking with Rubik's Cube Entertainment. But Rubik’s Cube Entertainment is still negotiating with us at Penguin Entertainment…”
"It's really messy!"
Guo Shouxin felt a little headache when he heard it, and said helplessly: "Now we can't do anything about it, we can only trust the company. Besides, what we can do is to make the show as good as possible and make the ratings of this issue as high as possible. Look better. Otherwise, if the drop is too large, the previous remarks that we hold Wang Cheng's thighs will be true..."
After chatting for a few words, the two continued to get busy, doing their job as well as possible.
And here in the recording studio.
Wen Yixiao was in excellent condition and finished recording the song first.
Both Liu Shengjie and Liang Xi were full of praise.
Liu Shengjie: "Yixiao, you have made a lot of progress compared to last week. Your current strength is second only to Wang Cheng among young singers. The recording will be finished in one afternoon."
Wen Yixiao forced a smile and said, "I still need to work hard to improve..."
Liang Xi: "You are talented and work so hard, you are the first one I have ever seen!"
Wen Yixiao smiled modestly, did not speak, walked to the corner, picked up the phone and dialed Wang Cheng's note.
beep beep beep...
No answer!
Wen Yixiao put away the phone. This is the twenty-eighth call she has made to Wang Cheng since yesterday. Although none of them got through, no one answered.
However, she insisted on playing!
buzzing...
The phone rings again.
Wen Yixiao quickly picked it up, and seeing that it was Yu Jinghong's name, she was a little disappointed, and said, "Mr. Yu!"
Yu Jinghong knew that Wen Yixiao was in a bad mood, so she said directly: "Yixiao, how are you thinking about the invitation to the Spring Festival Gala? We need to give an answer as soon as possible. My suggestion is, next! The Spring Festival Gala will be very popular with you The improvement may help you cross the critical threshold of Chaoju at that time!"
Wen Yixiao said in a low voice: "Wang Cheng didn't go, and neither will I!"
Yu Jinghong was speechless for two seconds, and then said: "Wang Cheng is willful, and you are too? He has 70 million fans, and you only have more than 41 million...You don't want to close the gap?"
Wen Yixiao said softly: "I don't care about these!"
Yu Jinghong was speechless again.
Because Wen Yixiao is really imitating Wang Cheng's appearance now, and doesn't care about fans. It has been more than a week since she posted a message on Weibo and interacted with fans.
Yu Jinghong had a headache and wanted to say something else.
Wen Yixiao said: "I won't talk to you anymore, I'm going to discuss the composition with Mr. Liu..."
After finishing speaking, Wen Yixiao hung up the phone.
Now she only focuses on promoting herself and Wang Cheng's news.
She doesn't care about anything else.
After recording the lyrics, Wen Yixiao will also participate in the arrangement of the whole process, and learn experience and knowledge from Liu Shengjie, a top gold medal producer.
And in the recording room next to it.
The four members of Pink Age are also participating in the remake of Jingwumen.
…
Time flies by...
