Chapter 93 91. Fierce bidding! Helpless unspoken rules! (Please subscribe!)
Li Guang lives in Shanghai, and arrived at the office building of Dongxing Entertainment early in the morning!
Subsequently, Fang Xueshu and Wu Tong rushed over from Hangzhou together, and almost arrived at Dongxing Entertainment.
As soon as the two parties meet, they have complicated emotions.
Looking at the beautiful Fang Xueshu and Wu Tong, Li Guang seemed to see himself and He Lei two weeks ago, but he and He Lei were more beautiful then, and now they are even more miserable.
Fang Xueshu and Wu Tong were under even greater pressure.
Because, only when you lose it will you know how precious it is.
The Oriental Star program team lost Wang Cheng, and the ratings dropped by more than half. They will definitely buy Wang Cheng back at all costs.
However, on the surface, the two sides still shook hands and said hello.
After all, they are all in the same circle, and they are all acquaintances from Brother Channel.
"Old Li, long time no see."
"Old Fang, Director Wu, your program has improved a lot. 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!"
The two sides laughed, and then they sat in their seats and stopped chatting.
They are all competitors, nothing to be embarrassed about.
However, after a while, three more people came, and they also knew each other.
One is Lao Wang from Beijing Satellite TV, one is Lao Zhang from Xiangbei Satellite TV, and the other is Lao Zhou from Southeast Satellite TV. They are all producers in charge of their respective programs. They came to chat with Dongxing Entertainment about signing Wang Cheng.
Yesterday, the ratings of the latest episode of You in Spring and Summer came out. After everyone watched it, they naturally wanted to come over to get a share of the action, dig Wang Cheng into their banner, and improve the ratings of their own programs.
After the test of two programs, Wang Cheng's role in increasing the ratings is already visible to the naked eye.
Many program groups have let go of their hesitation and vigilance, and started to be bold.
And these three TV stations are not short of money and resources, so they want to produce a phenomenon-level program with super high ratings to improve the image and popularity of their TV stations, so they came to them on the first day, thinking first Get ready to bleed.
Several people greeted each other again, all with heavy hearts.
The competition was so fierce that it exceeded their expectations, and several of them retreated a bit.
After a while, Liu Jinfeng and Wang Cheng arrived.
Seeing the six people sitting in the conference room, Liu Jinfeng was a little taken aback. He only called Li Guang and Fang Xueshu, and Wu Tong came over. The other program groups didn't communicate with him in advance.
This came directly to the door?
When they saw Liu Jinfeng and Wang Cheng arriving, they immediately stood up to say hello.
Li Guang, Wu Tong, and Fang Xueshu 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 is your rest? Huang Bin and the others are still waiting for you to go back. Preparations for the next episode have already begun."
Fang Xueshu: "Wang Cheng, we have reserved your one-person dormitory for you."
Old Wang: "Wang Cheng, my surname is also Wang, and I belong to the same family!"
Old Zhou: "Wang Cheng, you are the most talented young man I have ever seen, you should have a bigger stage to show..."
Lao Zhang: "Wang Cheng..."
…
Wang Cheng treated all these people equally, ignored them, just nodded slightly, did not speak, then walked to the sofa next to him and sat down, put down the thermos cup, picked up the book and read it as if no one was there.
The six of them froze for a moment, looked at each other, and the embarrassment flashed across their faces. After all, they were all veterans in the industry. Controlling emotions is a basic ability.
As for Li Guang, Wu Tong, and Fang Xueshu, they were already used to Wang Cheng's attitude, and they didn't care anymore.
The other three felt a little uncomfortable. They represented the TV station, and they were the real power faction in the circle. They had seen all the big-name stars, and their attitudes were very good. No one had played big-name games with them!
However, Wang Cheng didn't care about their attitude at all, and opened the book to read after sitting down.
Liu Jinfeng regretted bringing Wang Cheng with him, and immediately set a rule for himself - he could not bring Wang Cheng to discuss business affairs in the future, otherwise Wang Cheng might offend everyone in the circle when he came down a few times.
"Hahaha, you guys are here so early."
Liu Jinfeng laughed: "Wang Cheng got up a little early in the morning and was a little tired, please forgive me."
Several people laughed, knowing that this was an excuse, but they didn't bother to poke it.
Liu Jinfeng greeted several people to sit down, looked at Li Guang, Fang Xueshu, Wu Tong, and the other three who came uninvited, with complex expressions.
He has been the artist director of Dongxing Entertainment for several years, and this is the first time he has been sought after by so many powerful TV producers.
Dongxing Entertainment's other two first-line top players are not so popular together.
"Director Liu, let's talk about business. The program team is about to start producing a new program. It's better for Wang Cheng to return to the program team as soon as possible."
Wu Tong said straight to the point.
He still holds the expectation of continuously increasing the ratings in the future and breaking the 3.5 ratings of Oriental Star. Naturally, he wants to finalize this matter as soon as possible, and immediately brings Wang Cheng back to the program group.
Li Guang said lightly: "Yes, Director Liu, let's start! Everyone is here, let's be fair, how about direct public bidding? The highest bidder wins!"
Bid?
The uninvited representatives of the three TV stations felt the pressure.
They are not short of money, especially the producers from the Beijing TV station, whose financial resources are not weaker than the two satellite TVs in the Yangtze River Delta.
However, none of the three of them have as much determination as the two parent triangle satellite TV.
After all, they haven't tried the taste of ratings boost!
And these two have already got it, and now they want to continue to get it.
When Liu Jinfeng heard this, a look of anticipation flashed in his eyes, and he said softly: "Okay, since Li Chu said so, everyone is in the circle, so let's be more open and fair."
However, Liu Jinfeng, Li Guang, Wu Tong, and Fang Xueshu all involuntarily glanced at Wang Cheng, wanting to see if Wang Cheng had any opinions on this, and whether Wang Cheng had a preference for their program group. 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 on the book, as if he didn't care about their bidding at all, as if it had nothing to do with him.
Fang Xueshu also said: "Director Liu, let's start! Our spring and summer program group is starting, and we will directly package the remaining three programs, a total of 25 million, and the price of a single episode is more than 8.3 million."
As soon as Fang Xueshu's voice fell, the conference room was completely silent.
Lao Wang, Lao Zhou, and Lao Zhang from the other three TV stations all looked at Fang Xueshu in shock. They all knew that the price of Wang Cheng's announcement was outrageously high, comparable to top-tier standards. 7.5 million to sign the next installment, but the price was lowered because of Wang Cheng's special personal request.
but…
They didn't expect that this time they would directly raise so much. They were all planning to sign Wang Cheng for around 8 million, and they only wanted to sign the next issue. Both the unit price and the total price were suppressed by Fang Xueshu, and they were embarrassed to speak up.
Let them sign a few more episodes, and they dare not take such a big risk. After all, the price is so high. Once the follow-up ratings collapse, it will be a big loss.
Therefore, for a while, the three of them fell silent, knowing that this trip was going to be wasted, and they could only be spectators. They couldn't help but look at Wang Cheng who was reading like a transparent person on the sofa next to him with mixed emotions. Nine-year-old boy, so valuable?
Only Li Guang, who is also in the magic capital of the Yangtze River Delta, remained calm. He looked at Liu Jinfeng and said directly: "We have five installments left for Eastern Star. We will pack five installments, 40 million, and we will pay all at once when we sign the contract."
Hiss!
Except for Wu Tong, Fang Xueshu, and Liu Jinfeng, the other three gasped in shock!
The price of a single issue of 8 million, directly package five issues, and spend 40 million at a time, which is already enough to invite a highly popular super first-line celebrity to sit in the town.
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 yuan higher.
Fang Xueshu knocked on the table, looked at Li Guang and said, "Old Li, I remember the words well! The single-term price you signed with Ankeru is much lower than this, only more than six million? Your high price beat Wang Cheng What would An Keru think if he signed back? Would the agency behind An Keru think so?"
"What will the other big names in the industry think of your Dragon TV?"
Li Guang, Liu Jinfeng and the others were all taken aback when they heard this, they didn't expect Fang Xueshu to say that.
but…
They think carefully, this is the unspoken rule in the circle!
The most popular and biggest name on the stage must be the one with the highest salary.
An Keru, as a top-tier celebrity with more than 30 million fans, of course has to get the highest salary on the stage and enjoy the best treatment.
If Wang Cheng is given a higher salary, then Ankeru and the company behind it will definitely have opinions, which is a question of Ankeru's popularity and the number of fans.
Other super-first-line celebrities like An Keru will hesitate to cooperate with Dragon TV in the future, and may even refuse...
If it’s an older generation star, that’s fine. After all, being old has a high popularity but limited popularity. It’s normal that the price is not as good as a young traffic star, and people accept it.
However, An Keru is just 30 years old, and he is at his peak in all aspects. Naturally, the brokerage company behind him will not make concessions in this regard.
If one is not good, there may be greater infighting on the stage!
The judges with the biggest cards and the players with the biggest cards are in conflict...
The Oriental Star can directly announce its disbandment, and cannot continue to produce.
Li Guang fell silent for an instant, suffering from a headache.
He never thought about this, and only thought about how to buy Wang Cheng back to restore the ratings of the show, but he forgot this unspoken rule.
The super-first-line big coffee hired at a high price has now become a burden?
Liu Jinfeng also looked at Li Guang with a frown, then looked at Fang Xueshu, and said softly: "Li Chu, then you have to think clearly before you bid, and I don't want you to hold grudges against me and Wang Cheng in the future."
Li Guang hummed, began to think, and picked up his mobile phone to communicate with Ankeru's manager Jiang Yun.
On the other hand, Fang Xueshu pursued the victory and said directly: "Director Liu, I will add another one million, three packages, 26 million, and pay directly after signing the contract. This is our greatest sincerity, and I think you should also understand this What does the price represent."
Liu Jinfeng nodded, knowing that Fang Xueshu had really given the greatest sincerity.
The single-issue price of more than 8.5 million is already close to the super giant price.
Last year, a variety show invited a super giant singer to be a guest for an episode, and the price was 9 million episodes.
Now Fang Xueshu gave Wang Cheng a price of more than 8.6 million for a single installment, three installments at a time, which is definitely the 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 yuan. Although the single-term price is 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 contacted Jiang Yun, Ankeru's agent, with his mobile phone, and Jiang Yun also replied to the message.
There are only two words: no!
obviously.
Jiang Yun, as Ankeru's manager, firmly disagrees with the program group harming Ankeru's popularity and image.
but…
The price Li Guang gave Wang Cheng was much higher than that of An Keru, which was unacceptable to both Jiang Yun and the brokerage company.
Seeing Jiang Yun's reply, Li Guang frowned even tighter, thinking, colliding, and entangled in his heart!
He really wanted to buy Wang Cheng back. The ratings of the last episode proved that the stage belongs to the contestants, not the judges. The judges cannot support too high ratings, let alone bring stable and sustained ratings. Players can.
If he can choose, he is willing to buy Wang Cheng back, and then break the contract and let An Keru leave the program group.
But, in that way, Ankeru and the brokerage company behind it will be completely offended, and at the same time, it will completely break the unspoken rules in the circle, so that many other first-tier and super-first-tier celebrities will be hostile to Dragon TV. It may no longer be difficult to find big names who can cooperate.
Moreover, An Keru's background is not something he can offend.
so…
Li Guang struggled for a few seconds, then shook his head with a wry smile at Liu Jinfeng, saying that he had no choice but to quit, and then looked at Wang Cheng who was still reading there, as if what happened here had nothing to do with him, serious Said happily: "Wang Cheng, unfortunately, I still can't cooperate with you this time. Two months later, our station wants to produce a brand new variety show, which mainly focuses on dancing performances. Would you like to come? If you want Come on, you are the biggest name on this show!"
"The price is still the same as before, directly packaged and signed for 80 million for the whole season!"
When the producers of several other TV stations heard this, they all looked strange, and a hint of shock flashed in their eyes.
Because, they all have similar plans in their stations, wanting to make a variety show about popular dance.
Recently, due to the popularity of Oriental Star, Wang Cheng has led a wave of progress in popular dances. Many viewers are interested in these beautiful popular dances. The dances of various variety shows are also much better, and the ratings have also increased somewhat.
The keen producers in the circle immediately discovered the business opportunity and wanted to make a dance show!
And there is obviously more than one such producer.
Several people present may want to produce, and they all want to invite Wang Cheng, the initiator of the progress of popular dance, to the show, and then invite a few gold medal dancers, some traffic stars, and some trainees under the entertainment company to perform...
A high-quality dance streaming variety show is all it takes.
However, none of them are as willing as Li Guang to spend 80 million on Wang Cheng alone?
What is the budget for that show?
For a while, they were all a little scared, and the plans in their hearts wanted to be temporarily stranded.
Li Guang looked at Wang Cheng with a confident expression. He even wrote a part of the plan, and wanted to bring over the dancers on the stage of the Oriental Star, such as Luo Qiang and Danny, etc., who are currently the most popular in the circle. Powerful dancing fingers.
The most indispensable thing is Wang Cheng.
However, there are people who think differently.
Old 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, which will definitely let you show your talent!"
Old Wang didn't dare to say the price, because he couldn't say it in front of Li Guang's price of 80 million per season.
Others want to introduce themselves when they see this.
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 need to talk about this with me, talk to the company."
After finishing speaking, Wang Cheng ignored Li Guang and Lao Wang and looked down at the book again.
Liu Jinfeng felt a little nervous just now and immediately relaxed, his eyes were full of surprises, his mind was full of the number of 80 million that Li Guang said, and he said with a smile: "Li Chu, Lao Wang, we will talk about the future things later. .This time you made a trip for nothing, I will treat you to lunch later, you can choose the place you want!"
There are many people here, Liu Jinfeng didn't talk to Li Guangduo about the 80 million yuan, thinking about communicating later.
Li Guang looked at Wang Cheng carefully, and found that Wang Cheng really didn't care, he didn't care about the new program and the figure of 80 million. I have something to do, Director Liu, Wang Cheng, I'm leaving first, next time if there is a chance, I will treat you to a big meal."
The other three also left one after another. Now that Wang Cheng's contract has been finalized, they have no chance, so naturally they won't waste time here.
Liu Jinfeng got up and sent the four of them out, looked at Wu Tong and Fang Xueshu who were sitting there, and said with a smile: "Old Fang, Director Wu, and Wang Cheng are also here, let's sign the contract, I think you should be ready contract?"
Fang Xueshu smiled and took out the pre-prepared contract from his briefcase, in triplicate, one for the program team, one for the brokerage company, and one for Wang Cheng: "Of course, I'm all ready. After the signing is over, I'll treat you. Let's have a meal together, we will rush back to the Hangzhou program group in the afternoon, Wang Cheng will go with us?"
Wang Cheng hummed, put away the book, stood up, lifted the thermos cup, and said, "I won't have dinner with you guys. Now I'm going back to pack my things and go to Hangcheng. I should be able to have lunch there."
After finishing speaking, Wang Cheng walked over, first picked up the contract and looked at it.
Fang Xueshu and Wu Tong looked at each other, with a glint of joy flashing in their eyes. The sooner Wang Cheng entered the state, the more confident they would be.
Liu Jinfeng also looked at Wang Cheng calmly, did not speak, and let Wang Cheng do whatever he wanted, and be tolerant of the cash cow.
Wang Cheng quickly finished the contract. It was almost the same as the last contract, except that the first period became the third period, and nothing else changed. He picked up a pen and wrote his name on it, and handed it to Liu Jinfeng and Fang Xueshu. .
Liu Jinfeng and Fang Xueshu were also unambiguous, and signed their names and stamped their official seals on the spot!
The contract is completed.
Wang Cheng nodded to the three, picked up his share and walked out.
Fang Xueshu hurriedly said: "Wang Cheng, we will pick you up at the apartment later, I will help you book a bus ticket, and we will go back to Hangzhou together."
Liu Jinfeng said: "I informed the company that the car is waiting for you downstairs!"
Wang Cheng didn't look back, just waved to the three of them, and then walked into the elevator.
Watched Wang Cheng enter the elevator and disappear.
Fang Xueshu said softly: "This is the artist with the most personality I have ever seen. I really want to know what he thinks."
Wu Tong nodded in agreement: "That's right, I do my own way, full of personality! However, the talent is also amazing. Director Liu, your company has found a treasure this time."
Liu Jinfeng smiled without saying a word, but a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes.
So what if you find a treasure? You can only have two years...
However, his heart started to stir again. Can he think of a way to get Wang Cheng to renew his contract?
There is no way, the spring and summer program group signed more than 30 million yuan twice, and Li Guang also promised that the new program will directly sign 80 million yuan for the whole season. These figures deeply stimulated Liu Jinfeng.
…
Wang Cheng had just stepped out of the elevator when he saw Li Guang waiting outside the door.
Li Guang came up and said to Wang Cheng: "Wang Cheng, can we talk?"
Failed to buy back Wang Cheng this time, Li Guang already had no expectations for the future of Oriental Star, and pinned his hopes on the next program planned, and Wang Cheng is indispensable.
So, he wanted to make an appointment with Wang Cheng in advance.
But.
Wang Cheng was not interested in these things at all, and he didn't want to waste his tongue and time meaninglessly, so he just said: "Sorry, I don't have time."
After finishing speaking, Wang Cheng walked directly to the company's nanny car. The driver had already opened the door, and he sat in it. The driver quickly got in the car and started it, heading towards the company's apartment.
Li Guang stood on the side of the road and watched Wang Cheng's car go away, a little messy—this kid really had difficulty communicating, it was the only thing he had ever seen in his life.
At that time, I can only discuss the new program contract with Liu Jinfeng.
However, he suddenly thought that when the spring and summer with you is over, other traffic talent shows will end one after another, and then the champions of each talent show will be on the idol stage of tomorrow. Wang Cheng will definitely be the champion of the spring and summer stage. One spot!
"Then the new program plan will be postponed!"
Li Guang changed his plan, then turned and left.
…
Wang Cheng was sitting in the car, continuing 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 keeps ringing!
Wang Cheng can only connect.
A familiar voice came from 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. signed the contract."
An Keru: "I heard from Sister Yun that because of me, you and Dongfang 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 you have to ask my company, I have no right to make a decision."
An Keru asked: "I just want you to answer me, are you willing to come back and go on the show with me!"
Wang Cheng replied softly: "I don't want to."
An Keru was silent for a moment, breathing a little shortly, and asked, "Why?"
Wang Cheng replied truthfully: "Your mentality is wrong, and it will be very troublesome."
After speaking, Wang Cheng hung up the phone.
How could he fail to see that this big guy, who was very similar to his ex-girlfriend in his previous life, obviously had some interest in him.
Although he has always felt guilty about the ex-girlfriend's mother and daughter, An Keru's current appearance and temperament are also at their peak, full of attractiveness.
However, Wang Cheng still keeps a respectful distance!
woman!
is the source of trouble.
An Keru on the other side looked stiff, pinching the phone in his hand fiercely, Yin Fang bit his lower lip slightly, then quickly picked up the phone, opened the Weibo page, and unfollowed Wang Cheng in his follow list.
Jiang Yun was a quiet spectator the whole time, and didn't interfere with An Keru's private life. When she saw the final result, she looked a little more relaxed.
She also disagrees with An Keru's choice.
Admittedly…
The charm of that kid's appearance and temperament is invincible. She is in her forties, and she has seen countless handsome men and women in the circle, and star Wu Shu, but when she looks at Wang Cheng, she will always have a moment of heartbeat.
However, she woke up very quickly.
Moreover, she knew very well that the kid was only nineteen years old, too young, with an extremely weird personality, very difficult to get along with, and definitely not a good person.
Now, the kid rejected An Keru, but she was relieved, and immediately comforted An Keru: "Keru, don't think about it, let's finish this program with peace of mind, and take a good rest. Director's play is about to start filming..."
An Keru hummed, and said softly: "I want to take a nap."
Jiang Yun froze for a moment, then smiled and said: "Okay, you go to sleep, I'm leaving first, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."
An Keru watched Jiang Yun leave, picked up another mobile phone and entered Weibo, clicked on Wang Cheng's Weibo page, clicked on Follow again, then walked into the bedroom, and murmured in a low voice: "I'm here to sleep too. Take a nap to see..."
…
Wang Cheng just returned to the dormitory to pack up his things.
Wu Tong and Fang Xueshu, the two leaders of the program group, came to pick up Wang Cheng.
In order to bring Wang Cheng back to the program group as soon as possible and start preparations for the next program, they rejected Liu Jinfeng's invitation, came directly to pick up Wang Cheng, and took the high-speed train to Hangzhou.
The news that Wang Cheng renewed his contract in spring and summer with your program group quickly spread to the ears of many interested people in the industry.
The price surprised everyone again.
Many people called the spring and summer program group driving up prices.
