Chapter 244 242. Join the program group? This is not nonsense? The music circle is in chaos!
After getting off work at noon and returning to the hotel for a lunch break, Wang Cheng returned by car and continued to work.
Extremely punctual!
In the afternoon, Xiao Qiang, Yu Wenqiao, and Liu Jie almost stayed in the program group to watch Wang Cheng and the others...
Waiting for Wang Cheng to call them when needed!
but…
One afternoon, Wang Cheng was immersed in the dance practice room, practicing dance with Wen Yixiao, Zhu Ziqi, Han Xiao, and An Keru!
Xiao Qiang and Yu Wenqiao were a little bored, and the rest of the program team also took a rest.
Liu Jie walked back and forth for a while with some discomfort, and after more than an hour, he gave Xiao Qiang and Yu Wenqiao some advice, and then left in a hurry.
Drinking water, Xiao Qiang also seemed a little leisurely, as if he had already laid down. Anyway, he is just an unknown little director, and it is not his turn to take the blame if something happens.
This investment of almost hundreds of millions is not something he can memorize...
Yu Wenqiao said in a low voice: "Master Liu went to the doctor in a sudden illness, and pinned all his hopes on Wang Cheng. We watched it for a while at noon. I think the dance he rehearsed for Wen Yixiao and the others this time was relatively ordinary. Not as good as the performance on Tomorrow Idol!"
Xiao Qiang nodded: "Maybe it's classical, after all, it has to fit the core nature of our program! Let's leave it alone, since Director Liu believes in Wang Cheng, then let's not interfere with anything, and when something happens, we'll just talk to us." It's okay. We do what they tell us to do..."
Yu Wenqiao listened and nodded in agreement!
This is also the mind of several other people in charge of the program group, who are quite in a state of lying down.
Wang Cheng and Liu Taichang didn't speak, they just sat there idly playing with their mobile phones, doing nothing.
In this way, when something really happens and someone needs to be blamed, they can push it away...
So, at this time, the program group looked as if it had completely stopped functioning, and everyone was idle.
not far away.
Wang Cheng's chief assistant picked up the phone and called Shen Shenghui.
buzz buzz...
The call was quickly connected.
Shen Shenghui was sitting in the office and was chatting with a first-line artist under the company. When he saw Wang Cheng's assistant call, he immediately smiled and said, "Okay, I know what you think, and the company will make arrangements! I'll answer the call." phone, sorry..."
This first-line artist didn't get the promise he wanted, and was a little unhappy, but he didn't dare to show it in front of Shen Shenghui, and also left with a smile and left.
After digesting Dongxing Entertainment, Mofang Entertainment has 20 to 30 first-line celebrity artists. It can be said that it is the one with the most first-line artists among the major entertainment giants. The company's resources are not enough at all, resulting in Its star artists are full of conflicts, and they are all trying to get more resources.
However, they were temporarily suppressed by Shen Shenghui and Qin Yuhai.
Now, the focus of Mofang Entertainment is on Wang Cheng, and I want Wang Cheng to renew his contract quickly, and then we can start a series of development plans...
So, seeing Wang Cheng's accompanying chief assistant calling, Shen Shenghui immediately ended other things and quickly connected: "How is the situation? Has the program started recording?"
The assistant looked at the almost paralyzed program group, then at the door of the practice room where Wang Cheng practiced dancing, and reported truthfully: "The conflict between Wang Cheng and the program group broke out! He is dissatisfied with the program arrangement of the program group and thinks it is too bad. To record according to his ideas..."
Shen Shenghui, who was sitting in the office, couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
This is what he wanted.
Wang Cheng offended more people, and the reputation in the circle gradually collapsed. At that time, it will be difficult in the circle, and he can only rely on Rubik's Cube Entertainment to develop.
Moreover, Wang Cheng, a nineteen-year-old boy, wants to control a program group to lead the recording of the program. In his opinion, it is an idea that does not know the heights of the sky and the earth.
but…
Thinking that Wang Cheng seems to have taken the lead when he was filming the Red Star commercial. The commercial was shot according to Wang Cheng’s idea, and the effect is surprisingly good...
Shen Shenghui frowned slightly, and then slowly relaxed his brows.
He knew that Hongxing's commercial was a song mv, which happened to be very suitable for Hongxing's products, so the effect was so good.
The aspect of popular song and dance performances happens to be what Wang Cheng is best at presenting to the public. Shen Shenghui can also understand and accept such an effect.
But variety show recording is not comparable to a short commercial...
Shen Shenghui smiled and said, "What did the program group say? What did Zhongyuan Satellite TV say?"
Assistant: "It's very strange here. Director Liu of Zhongyuan Satellite TV supported Wang Cheng, and the director team stopped working. The program team is now waiting for Wang Cheng's order, but Wang Cheng took Wen Yixiao and the others to Dance practice, so now the entire program group is in a state of suspension! I feel that Wang Cheng is messing around, he doesn't know how to handle a program group at all."
Central Plains Satellite TV Director Liu supports Wang Cheng! The program group is almost suspended?
Shen Shenghui captured these key information, the worries in his heart quickly disappeared, and he said happily: "Okay, I understand, you continue to record all the information, if there is any change, report to me in time!"
Assistant: "Okay, Director Shen!"
hang up the phone.
Shen Shenghui turned around on the chair, took out his mobile phone and looked at Wang Cheng's popularity on Weibo, which still occupies the top three hot topics list.
buzz buzz...
The phone is ringing again!
Shen Shenghui saw that the person in charge of Penguin Music was calling, and connected immediately.
Mofang Entertainment and Penguin Music have also cooperated for a long time, and the music works of their singers are all released on the Penguin Music platform.
Shen Shenghui connected the phone: "Mr. He, rare customer..."
Penguin Music, as the largest music online platform in China, can be said to be the father of almost all singers, and it is also a strong party against almost all entertainment companies.
Under normal circumstances, almost all entertainment companies ask Penguin Music Platform for their needs, such as giving their singers more resources and so on!
Therefore, the management of the Penguin Music platform seldom seldom contact the people from the entertainment company, but the people from the entertainment company keep contacting Penguin Music, asking for resources...
Not to mention that He is always one of the vice presidents of Penguin Music.
It was the first time for Shen Shenghui to receive a call from Mr. He, and he had some doubts and guesses in his heart.
Mr. He on the opposite side smiled and said, "I can rest assured that I can get through to Director Shen."
Shen Shenghui was puzzled: "Why did Mr. He say that?"
Mr. He: "We made hundreds of phone calls to Wang Cheng under your company, but no one answered. I had to call you in person. I thought you Rubik's Cube Entertainment would Wang Cheng cut off the cooperation with our platform..."
Shen Shenghui understood instantly.
Penguin Music wants Wang Cheng to release songs, but Wang Cheng's songs just won't be posted on the Penguin Music platform, and many fans are pressing everywhere.
Penguin Music naturally wanted Wang Cheng to seize the popularity and release songs as soon as possible to attract a wave of users and popularity, so he kept in touch with Wang Cheng, and even paid off all the shares for Wang Cheng once before, to show his favor to Wang Cheng, but still failed to convince Wang Cheng Cheng released the song on time...
No way!
Mr. He could only call Shen Shenghui, the direct person in charge of Wang Cheng.
Shen Shenghui thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Mr. He is serious. Mr. He, you should know about Wang Cheng's situation. Even I can't get through to his phone number. If you want to talk to him about something, you have to go to the interview in person. Mr. He Are you in a hurry with Wang Cheng?"
Mr. He said straight to the point: "It's nothing serious! It's just a business matter. Wang Cheng has released three songs for a while, but they haven't been uploaded to the platform yet. Many of his fans want to download them. I want to share with Wang Cheng Let’s chat, I hope he can upload his works quickly, don’t let the fans down for too long, it will also affect Wang Cheng’s reputation and popularity.”
Shen Shenghui's eyes flickered: "Oh, I will tell Wang Cheng about this."
Mr. He: "Director Shen, we hope to have a face-to-face meeting with Wang Cheng!"
Shen Shenghui: "Sorry, Mr. He, Wang Cheng has been busy recently, so he may not have time to see you."
Mr. He: "Director Shen, I won't go around in circles. If you can get Wang Cheng to release songs within three days, then the works of several artists under your company who are releasing songs will get a certain degree of exposure! Even, we can Package and promote their works with Wang Cheng, the exposure will be much higher than usual..."
Shen Shenghui was very moved.
He understands Wang Cheng's attraction very well. If the works of several big-name singers under the company can be promoted together with Wang Cheng, the exposure will at least double and the sales will increase by at least 30%. The long-term heat is more attractive.
And such a good thing, the Penguin Music platform was given to the big-name stars of Penguin Entertainment before. It is impossible for the stars and artists of other companies to package and promote with Wang Cheng...
Now, Penguin Music has given up such resources and opportunities to Rubik's Cube Entertainment in order to let Wang Cheng release a song.
but.
Shen Shenghui's family knows his own affairs.
He knew that it was impossible for him to decide anything for Wang Cheng.
If Wang Cheng is not willing, he can do nothing.
Especially in terms of music works, Wang Cheng has almost complete autonomy!
So, he said: "Mr. He, I absolutely agree with this matter! However, I can't influence Wang Cheng's thoughts, so I can help you talk about this matter with Wang Cheng. As for the result, I will Can't guarantee it."
Shen Shenghui: "Hahaha, of course, this time our company has invited many veteran producers and creators to cooperate, and the songs and works released are definitely high-quality products!"
Mr. He: "I know, but Director Shen should know that the works released by artists under other companies are no worse than yours!"
Shen Shenghui's smile gradually subsided, and he felt helpless at the current involution in the pop music circle.
The high-quality music works that could be the title song a few years ago can be found everywhere...
Many powerful creators and producers have emerged one after another, and they have released high-quality works with powerful star singers.
During the two weeks since Tomorrow's Idol ended, the pop music circle has become a mess...
Stimulated by the explosive sales of popular songs, many powerful musicians and singers have invested twelve cents to grab money.
The other two platforms are also mixed because of this...
This is also the reason why Penguin Music wants Wang Cheng to continue to publish songs. It wants to rely on Wang Cheng to continue to crush the other two major platforms, and it is even more afraid that Wang Cheng will be poached by those two platforms!
Shen Shenghui: "Okay, Mr. He, I have something else to do, so I won't talk to you. When Wang Cheng returns to Shanghai, I will meet him as soon as possible to talk about releasing a song."
Mr. He: "Okay, please trouble Director Shen..."
hang up the phone.
Shen Shenghui took out his mobile phone and looked at Penguin Music's new song sales list this week. He saw that it was almost the weekend, and the sales at the top of the list only reached 40 million. Backsliding badly.
However, compared to a few months ago, this sales volume has improved a lot.
However, continuing to glance down, Shen Shenghui frowned slightly.
Because, the gap between the top ten in the new song weekly sales list is almost not big. The sales of the first place are more than 42 million, and the tenth place is as high as 31 million. The difference between the rankings of almost every song is only one hundred. about ten thousand...
This fierce competition is the first time Shen Shenghui has seen in his career.
Compared with the golden age of Chinese pop music ten or twenty years ago, the competition is more intense!
This also shows that the quality levels of these works are not much different, and the sales gap may be due to factors outside the works, such as promotional resources, hype, etc...
Shen Shenghui once again lamented the dominance of Wang Cheng's works!
He looked at the situation of the other two major music platforms again, and found that although the overall weekly sales charts of the two platforms were not as good as Penguin Music, the weekly sales at the top of the list were as high as 30 million!
He understood why Penguin Music wanted Wang Cheng to release a song so urgently.
This is feeling threatened, and wants to invite Wang Cheng to suppress the audience!
Shen Shenghui picked up the phone and dialed Wang Cheng's number...
tuk tuk tuk...
After a while, it was the sound of no one answering that he was very familiar with.
…
Eight in the afternoon!
Wang Cheng got off work on time again and left the dance practice room, got in the car and went back to the hotel for dinner.
Wen Yixiao, Zhu Ziqi, An Keru, and Han Xiao still didn't leave, they stayed together to continue training, and asked their manager to pack some meals from the hotel and deliver them, and they ate here.
It is so rare to be directed by Wang Cheng himself, and there is a great opportunity to cooperate with Wang Cheng in dance performances.
The four proud girls don't want to drag themselves down. They all hope that they can perform better and leave a deeper impression on Wang Cheng.
Therefore, none of the four will relax in the slightest.
Even so, the dance moves Wang Cheng taught them didn't seem too difficult.
However, Wang Cheng has very high requirements for temperament and artistic conception, and they need a lot of practice to understand...
Xiao Qiang, Yu Wenqiao and other leaders of the program group also left work one after another. Anyway, Wang Cheng didn't ask them to do anything, so they clocked out on time!
Not long after, the managers of Wen Yixiao, Zhu Ziqi, Han Xiao, and An Keru personally delivered meals to them.
The four of them each sat in a corner of the practice room to rest and start eating!
Mo Jinhua opened the meals one by one, looked at the other three people, and asked Wen Yixiao in a low voice: "I heard that Wang Cheng and the director of the program group fell out, and the program group has almost stopped?"
Wen Yixiao shook her head: "It's not a falling out, it's because the director team wants to listen to Wang Cheng, and it's not because Wang Cheng didn't ask them to do anything. They have nothing to do, so they just idle!"
When Mo Jinhua heard this, her eyes widened: "Wang Cheng intervened in the program group, and even took over the entire program group? Isn't this nonsense? Does he know how to make a program? Does he know how to plan the content of the program? Moreover, he will offend the entire The program crew and the TV station, other people will not dare to cooperate with him in the future, after all, who wants to invite an uncle back and be a puppet?"
"If you mess around like this, this episode of your show will definitely collapse. If the ratings are bad, Wang Cheng will be completely rejected by the TV circle! No one dares to cooperate with him..."
Mo Jinhua is a veteran in the circle, and she pointed out the problem right away. She just wanted to persuade Wen Yixiao to keep a little distance from Wang Cheng, but she was afraid that Wen Yixiao would be unhappy and didn't say anything, so she could only stop abruptly. Wen Yixiao.
Wen Yixiao didn't care about Mo Jinhua's words, and said lightly: "I don't care about those things, it would be great if I could record the show with him. By the way, Sister Mo, help me push the announcements for the next two days !"
Mo Jinhua was a little speechless, her lips moved, and she didn't say some words. She believed that when Wang Cheng was fighting with the program group, Wen Yixiao must have supported Wang Cheng. What other program groups are afraid of may affect the word-of-mouth in the circle.
but…
Hearing Wen Yixiao's request to cancel the announcement for the next two days, Mo Jinhua woke up instantly, put aside the worries in her heart for a while, and frowned: "Why? And go back to Nanyue to discuss the album with Teacher Liu Shengjie, they are all waiting for you, if you push it directly like this, they will not be happy."
Directly rejecting the program announcements for the next two days like this will definitely offend people...
Wen Yixiao didn't care about this, but when she heard that she was going to discuss new songs and new albums with Liu Shengjie, she hesitated a little, and then said firmly: "Wang Cheng said that the show will be recorded for two days, so I don't have time to go, help me. I'll quit, or postpone it for two days if they want!"
Mo Jinhua took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed her dissatisfaction with Wang Cheng.
She didn't know how long she could bear with Wang Cheng!
Wen Yixiao followed Wang Cheng to record the program like this, which offended the program team and pushed down other announcements. In her opinion, she was ruining her own future.
Not only Wang Cheng cut his own future, but Wen Yixiao also cut his own future.
Even Wen Yixiao's popularity is very high now, almost the second most popular celebrity artist after Wang Cheng, but if he makes enemies in the circle, sooner or later he will be beaten down by these people, and he may be fatally hit. Can't turn over...
Such examples can be said to be everywhere in the circle.
For Wang Cheng, is it worth it?
and…
Still not getting any response.
Moreover, while competing with the other three at the same time.
In Mo Jinhua's rational view, this is simply a brainless **** behavior, irrational at all, self-destructive future!
However, when she moved her ears, she heard that other people also raised their voices in a hurry.
"Ziqi, are you participating in the persecution program group?"
"Ziqi...don't be so willful! In the next two days you have an announcement for a prime-time big-name variety show. It would be too wasteful for you to push it down like this, and you will offend people!"
"Ziqi, Wang Cheng is such a fool, it is impossible for your program this time to replicate the miracle of rural life, you have to think carefully..."
Mo Jinhua and Wen Yixiao looked at Zhu Ziqi at the same time, only to see that Zhu Ziqi did not argue with her manager Peng Yuying, but just ate the food with a determined look on her face!
Then, they looked at An Keru again. Han Xiao's situation was almost the same. It was obvious that the managers didn't understand their choice.
Wen Yixiao withdrew her gaze, and her expression became more determined.
The other three can do it, Wen Yixiao feels that she not only has to do it, but also do it better...
Wen Yixiao whispered to Mo Jinhua while eating: "Sister Mo, I don't want to hear these words anymore. What I want to do, you just need to cooperate with me, okay?"
Mo Jinhua was taken aback for a moment, and then knew that she had said something bad about Wang Cheng. Wen Yixiao was not happy, and at the moment she felt bitter and helpless, but she hurriedly smiled and said: "Yixiao, you know, I'm sure Those who support you, don't worry..."
Wen Yixiao nodded and said nothing, already thinking about her dance moves.
She is more devoted and does better than the other three.
And Zhu Ziqi, Han Xiao, and An Keru obviously had the same idea, they all finished their meal quickly, and started practicing again almost at the same time as Wen Yixiao.
The agents stood and watched for a while, feeling a little disappointed, and then they didn't dare to say anything more. They had obviously been warned by these agents, so they could only leave silently with their things, waiting outside, waiting for them After practice, we will go back to the hotel together!
but…
Whether it's Mo Jinhua, Peng Yuying, Li Jing, An Keru's manager, etc.!
All four of them are mentally prepared.
Mo Jinhua directly picked up the phone and called Yu Jinghong: "President Yu, we may have to prepare crisis public relations for Wen Yixiao in advance..."
She began to think about how to clean up the mess after this episode went live.
