This Star Doesn’t Work Overtime

Chapter 105 103. An ancient poem that cannot be found! The highest variety show quote in the industry! (Please subscribe)

Han Xiao drove back to his high-end apartment by the West Lake, got out of the car with a garbage bag in hand, and quickly went upstairs to his room.

 Close the door!

Han Xiao leaned against the door and took a deep breath to relieve his nervousness.

 This was the first time she went to pick up something secretly.

 Although it is unwanted in the trash can...

However, she was still extremely nervous and afraid of being seen. It was not that she was afraid of being embarrassed, but that she was afraid that it would reach Wang Cheng's ears.

 Hurryly dumped the garbage in the garbage bag on the living room floor.

Han Xiao was dumbfounded for a moment.

 There is no messy stuff.

 There was just shredded paper all over the floor!

  On it can be vaguely seen the incomplete calligraphy written on it, as well as some pen writing.

 However, there is almost no complete text left.

The word Jing that she had been thinking about since she saw it last night was scattered among them, and she didn't know where it was.

 “Wang Cheng, you are really…”

Han Xiao wanted to complain, but held it back.

Looking at the shredded papers on the ground, Han Xiao sat down on the floor and pieced the shredded papers together one by one according to the signs of breakage.

“Fortunately, it wasn’t torn into too small pieces. If you take some time, you should be able to put it back together.”

Han Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and thought about finding the word Jing that he wanted most among them.

However, there were too many pieces, so she could only find the ones that were easy to piece together and put them together first. As long as she put them all together, she would naturally find the word Jing she wanted.

 Furthermore, she found that the level of these other characters was also very high, but slightly inferior to the Jing character.

 Based on her calligraphy level and experience, she can see that this is not Wang Cheng’s progress, but limited by certain objective conditions...

 His brush and paper are not good?

Han Xiao had some guesses in his mind.

but.

 Spell it out completely with the first easiest piece of paper.

Han Xiao, who was sitting on the ground, was immediately stunned. His eyes were blankly staring at the crumpled, cracked, forcibly pieced piece of paper on the ground...

 The above is a clear calligraphy calligraphy.

The quality of each character is far higher than her own, and even on par with her grandfather's, but still a little worse than the Jing character she is looking for.

but…

She was not shocked at the calligraphy level of these words, but at the content of the cursive fonts connected together.

 “It is good when the water is shining and clear, but the mountains are also strange when they are empty and covered with rain.”

“If you want to compare the West Lake to the West, it is always better to put on heavy makeup and light makeup.”

 One word, say it in a low voice.

How can Han Xiao not see that this is an ancient poem of extremely high standard?

  No worse than the classic poems she needed to memorize in her school textbooks.

Moreover, it was an ancient poem that she had no impression of at all in her memory. It described the scenery of West Lake after the rain, and compared West Lake to Xi Shi, a famous classical beauty from the Warring States period.

Han Xiao recited it several times and found it very interesting. In surprise, he quickly took out his mobile phone, opened the browser and searched for a sentence, but found that there were no results or any similar sentences.

 That is to say…

 This poem has not been published anywhere.

 Otherwise, there would be no clues on the Internet.

Now is the age of mobile information. As long as it is information that has appeared in reality, it is impossible to find it on the Internet!

The only reason why it cannot be found is that it has never appeared anywhere in reality, and certainly not on the Internet.

so…

 This poem was written by Wang Cheng himself and has not been published to the outside world?

 Think of this as the most likely answer.

Han Xiao stood up all of a sudden, feeling a little excited. After being stunned for a while, he lay on the ground again, carefully looking at every word written on this piece of paper, as if every word became extremely precious.

Then, she took out the tools and began to carefully repair the paper. It took her a whole morning to repair the paper, but she could still clearly see the cracks on it, but it had become a complete piece. Overall…

 “Done!”

Han Xiao looked at the piece of paper with a proud smile on his face, but he still felt a little distressed when he saw the obvious cracks.

 Then use the tools to carefully hang it on your bedroom wall.

 She really wanted to call Wang Cheng and ask if this was a work written by Wang Cheng himself...

 However, I was afraid that Wang Cheng would be angry if he found out.

 So, Han Xiao could only look at the words silently and enjoy it by himself.

After watching for a while, Han Xiao continued to return to the living room and pieced together the remaining scraps of paper. He did not feel bored or tired at all, but felt full of happiness.

Every word here was written by Wang Cheng.

 Furthermore, no one outside the world knows about it.

Does the outside world still not know that Wang Cheng, the handsome and charming musical talent, is also a master of calligraphy and has written an excellent ancient poem?

 She was the only one who knew and got this piece.

 This is something that is uniquely hers.

 …

 After Wang Cheng came back from running in the morning, he went to have breakfast.

Huang Bin and Mo Bailin were waiting for him in the cafeteria again.

As soon as he saw Wang Cheng, Huang Bin came up with a smile on his face and asked: "Brother Cheng, how are the sales of Inverted Earth?"

 They had been waiting in the cafeteria to wait for Wang Cheng to meet and ask about sales.

Mo Bailin and others looked at Wang Cheng eagerly.

Wang Cheng frowned slightly, wondering whether he should not sing to others next time.

 Otherwise, the singer will definitely care about sales, and it will be troublesome to ask him all the time. It is better to just sing it yourself.

Huang Bin and others felt uneasy when they saw Wang Cheng frowning.

Huang Bin said hurriedly: "Brother Cheng, if it's troublesome, forget it..."

Wang Cheng said softly: "It's okay!"

　　Took out his mobile phone, opened the backstage of Penguin Music, and threw it directly to Huang Bin.

Huang Bin hurriedly took a look at the sales of Inverted Earth, and saw that the sales had reached more than two million in just one hour after uploading. The anxiety in his heart calmed down instantly, and he quickly returned the phone to Wang Cheng and said with a smile: " Brother Cheng, I’m sorry to bother you!”

Before Mo Bailin and others could see clearly when their heads came closer, Huang Bin took a few people to say goodbye and left. At the same time, he told a few people the number in a low voice, and there were sudden exclamations.

 “More than two million in one hour?”

 “We are going to be popular again this time.”

“Haha...I gained hundreds of thousands of new fans in one night. The number of new fans suddenly accelerated in the past hour. It may be the fans brought by this song.”

“Everyone interact more with fans today and strive to exceed five million fans today. By then, all of our members will be above the second tier, hahaha. Which trainee team can compete with us this year?”

“That’s right, we are the most invincible. Even in Wen Yixiao’s team, only Wen Yixiao has an exaggerated number of fans, and the others only have two to three million fans!”

“Is the number of Wen Yixiao fans exaggerated? Have you forgotten our Brother Cheng…”

 …

A few people chatted excitedly and left.

Wang Cheng heard this and didn't care. These children were still competing for fame and fortune.

After breakfast quietly, Wang Cheng returned to the dormitory again, reading a book and thinking about the last performance he was going to record next week, but for the last performance, he had to prepare two performances.

With only one week, he didn’t have enough time to record two songs and choreograph two songs.

 Tuk Tuk…

There was a knock on the door.

Wang Cheng said softly: "Come in."

The room opens slightly.

Wearing a neat suit, Liu Jinfeng walked in. He seemed to have forgotten the unpleasantness last time and said with a smile on his face: "Good morning, Wang Cheng!"

Wang Cheng hummed: "Is something wrong?"

Liu Jinfeng nodded and sat down on the stool opposite Wang Cheng. He looked around and saw that he was still Wang Cheng's late-stage cancer style. Looking at Wang Cheng, he once again admired Wang Cheng. Kind of indifferent.

No matter how many heated discussions there are about him on the Internet, no matter how high the sales of his music works are, no matter how many fans on his own Weibo are waiting for him to send a message...

 He was still as quiet as before, sitting here reading a book, exactly the same as when Liu Jinfeng first met Wang Cheng.

Liu Jinfeng didn't know how Wang Cheng, who was only nineteen years old, developed such a character and state of mind, but this did not prevent him from feeling a little admiration.

Of course it does not prevent him from using Wang Cheng to make money as much as possible.

After adjusting his mood, Liu Jinfeng said: "伱 and Huang Bin are sure to win the championship in the spring and summer program, and then they will get a spot to participate in the Tomorrow Idol show. Last night, the Tomorrow Idol program team contacted me , make sure you all can be on the show!"

Tomorrow’s Idol is the grandest performance stage for trainees every year, and it is also the stage that every trainee wants to be on.

 Liu Jinfeng naturally hopes that all his trainees will have the opportunity to appear on the stage.

This year is also a good year for Dongxing Entertainment. Wang Cheng can lead Huang Bin and others to win the championship in the spring and summer stages and become the idols of tomorrow. Ma Yunfei from Rongcheng also has a great chance of winning the Yutang Bureau. Dongxing Entertainment may Two of its teams have appeared on Idol of Tomorrow.

 Each year, only ten teams can get quotas.

 For a company like Dongxing Entertainment, it is a huge success if one team can appear on this stage every year.

Because once the trainee team steps onto this stage, the most popular captain will inevitably become the first-line leader, and the other team members will gradually become the second-line team. They can become the mainstay of the company in the future and ensure the company's profitability in the next few years.

 Normally, it takes two years for Dongxing Entertainment to have a team on stage.

  In the Chinese entertainment circle, there are not only 50 but also 30 or 40 second-rate companies like Dongxing Entertainment, and there are still more than 10 or 20 first-rate companies, plus the six major entertainment giants!

 Competition is fiercer than outsiders imagine.

 Can occupy two spots in ten teams.

Even the organizer Penguin Entertainment found it difficult to do this.

 Now Dongxing Entertainment is the envy of almost all entertainment companies in the industry.

Wang Cheng heard the suppressed excitement in Liu Jinfeng's tone and said softly: "I don't care. Once the company accepts the notice, I will sign the contract and go on the show."

Liu Jinfeng was stunned for a moment and looked at Wang Cheng strangely: "Don't you want to go?"

Wang Cheng still said relaxedly: "It doesn't matter whether you go or not."

 You can go or not...

That means you don’t really want to go?

 It’s okay to go or not?

Liu Jinfeng's mind suddenly became excited. Should he not let Wang Cheng join Tomorrow Idol and limit the growth of Wang Cheng's fans?

Now Wang Cheng’s fans have exceeded 33 million. It’s so scary that he has almost caught up with An Keru, the most famous judge on Eastern Star. But An Keru has accumulated nearly ten years of experience. Only successful works have such popularity and fan base.

 Wang Cheng only spent more than a month.

If he waits for tomorrow's idols to perform well on stage, then Wang Cheng may actually become a super giant directly!

The ceiling of the fan circle in the popular celebrity circle does not seem to exist for Wang Cheng. The super-giant S+ potential is really not something to be said casually.

   “What about the announcements I will give you about other programs?”  Liu Jinfeng asked.

Wang Cheng said casually: "I respect the contract."

 The meaning is self-evident.

His agent makes an appointment with the company, and he just goes to work when the company receives any announcements for him.

 Liu Jinfeng nodded, quite satisfied with Wang Cheng's work attitude.

However, Wang Cheng added: "I still have only one request. My work and rest time will never change."

 Liu Jinfeng nodded: "I understand!"

 In the past two days, don’t contact his program director, producer, and TV station leaders too much.

Wang Cheng has become the most fragrant piece of cake in the entire TV variety show circle.

Everyone wants to come and take a bite, and some people want to eat it all at once.

so…

 Liu Jinfeng has received some very exaggerated invitations.

For example, a certain program group directly issued a contract for a full season, with a contract value of up to 80 million for a period of three months.

Although the single-issue announcement fee is not as high as the price you gave me in spring and summer, the package amount for the whole season itself has a certain discount. This full-season price of 80 million is already the highest price in the industry, not even one. .

Because this is a proper full-season package price for super giants, and no program team has ever packaged a full-season announcement contract for a super giant before. The price is too high and the risk is too high. The most you can do is sign for one or two issues. Just increase the popularity of the program when it comes.

The previous highest variety show contract was signed by a super-A-list traffic star in a variety show last year, and the package price for the entire season was as high as 70 million!

But last year, this 70 million contracted and super-top-tier program did not have an explosive ratings in the end. In the short term, it was a loss, and it could only rely on long-term operations to recoup the costs.

Therefore, variety shows are now more cautious when awarding contracts to big names. A contract of around 60 million for a full season of a super first-line program like An Keru is considered a rare big contract.

Those first and second tiers in the traffic circle are the most popular groups. The price is not very expensive. A package of 20 to 30 million for the whole season is enough. Some cheap second tiers can handle it for 10 million per season, and they still have a certain degree of popularity and traffic. Profitability can be achieved with a little operational hype.

Therefore, today's variety shows basically no longer rely on one or two big names to support the stage. Basically, five or six first- and second-tier stars and artists work together to create the program effect, without relying on one person's personal popularity and It uses charm to attract ratings, but relies on the impact of the program between celebrity artists to create topics and memes to attract the audience. The program itself is actually better-looking and has a stronger sense of variety.

 However, a program team has now offered Wang Cheng a package contract worth RMB 80 million per season.

This can also indirectly explain how popular Wang Cheng is in the field of TV variety shows, and how optimistic many directors and producers are about Wang Cheng.

　　The ratings of two consecutive programs have reached an exaggerated score of more than 3 points, which is really attractive.

If the ratings are really guaranteed to reach 3 points or above, let alone 80 million, even if it is 100 million, the program team will be able to make a profit in the short term, and the long-term benefits will be even greater.

They have studied the two programs Eastern Star and Spring and Summer You, and they can clearly see that Wang Cheng only took three episodes to bring the ratings of the program group to more than three points.

Therefore, if they invite Wang Cheng to appear on the show from the first episode, then for the ten to twelve episodes of the entire season, starting from the fourth episode, the following eight or nine episodes will be able to maintain a ratings of above three points. If so, it will not be as simple as making a profit in the short term, but you can make a lot of money immediately. In the long term, it can even become a stable meal ticket for the entire TV station, raising the profitability of the entire TV station to a higher level.

For example, Hunan Satellite TV produced two phenomenally popular variety shows, which directly contributed to the decade-long glory of Hunan Satellite TV. Now it is still firmly ranked as the number one local TV station in the country. At its peak, its commercial income even surpassed that of CCTV. Open a few levels in other places.

In the past few years, every local station has targeted Hunan Satellite TV and wanted to become the next Shonan Satellite TV. Therefore, they have invested more and more in variety shows, and more and more people and capital have entered the show. Among them, Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV stations are The most successful is also the one closest to Shonan Satellite TV.

The Spring and Summer With You, which has just passed 3 points in ratings, is also a program under Jiangzhe Satellite TV. It seems that Jiangzhe Satellite TV is getting closer to Hunan Satellite TV.

How can other TV stations survive?

Especially the big brother Xiangnan TV, it is even more impossible to sit still.

 Hence, the pursuit of Wang Cheng, who has achieved brilliant results, is extremely fierce.

Liu Jinfeng originally wanted to wait until Wang Cheng appeared on Tomorrow's Idol and his popularity increased further before contacting other program groups.

 After all, in his conventional thinking, no one can refuse the invitation to the Tomorrow Idol stage. When Wang Cheng's popularity increases again, he will be able to ask for a higher price.

 However, now Wang Cheng actually doesn't care about it!

And he also wants to limit Wang Cheng's soaring popularity, so why not just join Tomorrow Idol?

 When I think of this...

 Liu Jinfeng's heartbeat accelerated.

 Because, if he can get a large amount of income early, he will be able to make up for the loss in the supplementary clause on the income from his works signed with Wang Cheng.

 Looking at Wang Cheng, Liu Jinfeng said softly: "Wang Cheng, prepare well for the next performance."

Whether he goes to Tomorrow Idol or not, Liu Jinfeng will wait until Wang Cheng’s last performance of You in the spring and summer is over before he will have substantive contact with other program groups.

because.

He believes that Wang Cheng's next performance may bring the ratings of the Spring and Summer With You program to a higher level.

If he can surpass the miraculous 3.5 ratings he created last time on the Oriental Star stage, then he will be able to raise his prices again when facing other program groups!

Wang Cheng hummed and continued reading.

 Looking at the time, it was almost time to go to work. After reading these pages, it was time to go out.

Liu Jinfeng also said goodbye. He was not in the mood to chat with Wang Cheng. After finishing his talk, he left. I went to see Huang Bin and others again, encouraged them, told them to manage their fans well, work hard to perform, promised a few empty promises, and left.

 After walking out of the shooting base and getting into the car, Liu Jinfeng’s face was full of thoughts.

Hum…

 The phone rang.

 Liu Jinfeng picked it up and looked at it. He immediately connected the phone and said in a serious tone: "Director Guo!"

The person on the phone is Guo Shouxin, the director of the Tomorrow Idol program group. He is now one of the biggest directors in the entire variety show field. His status is a level higher than that of He Lei and Wu Tong.

 He did not expect that Guo Shouxin would call him personally.

Guo Shouxin said in a serious tone: "Director Liu, I heard that the most popular trainee in your company has his own rules for appearing on the show. Do you want the show team to make concessions to his work and rest time?"

Liu Jinfeng said in a complaining tone: "Director Guo, you know, it's hard to take care of young people nowadays. They all have their own ideas. He insists on his own schedule, and there's nothing I can do about it. For this reason, he and I We had several falling outs, everyone in the industry knew about this, and I was embarrassed because he was indifferent, so I had no choice but to follow him."

Guo Shouxin: "If it's normal, I would arrange the performance time a little and miss his schedule. But this time, Director Liu, I can't give in to him."

 Liu Jinfeng asked in surprise: "Why, Director Guo?"

Guo Shouxin said seriously: "Because this time the stage of Tomorrow's Idol is a live broadcast, not a recording. There is no room for manipulation in time."

?

 This is definitely a lot of pressure for the trainees who perform on stage.

 Because, there is no chance of making mistakes during live streaming.

Once you make a mistake, you will be discovered immediately and be seen by the audience.

If it is a recording and broadcasting, the director can also deliberately cover up the mistakes in post-production and cut out the scenes.

 But with live broadcast, there is no such opportunity.

Moreover, these trainees are all new trainees who just debuted this year and have no experience in live broadcast performances at all, which will be a greater test for them.

Liu Jinfeng was even more surprised and asked curiously: "Director Guo, how could it change so much all of a sudden? There was no warm-up in advance."

It stands to reason that such a huge change will definitely extend to the other five traffic talent variety shows, allowing the contestants to perform some live performances on these five variety show stages in advance to increase their experience and habits, and wait until tomorrow It’s not easy to make mistakes on the idol stage.

This is going to be a live broadcast, so the new trainees will be frightened?

 If errors occur frequently in performances, the effectiveness of the program will be greatly reduced, and the ratings will inevitably be affected.

Guo Shouxin didn't explain too much, just said: "These are the rules of this year's stage, and there are several other new rules, which will be announced at that time. I communicated with you in advance because I want you to deal with Wang Cheng of your company first. Don't let him start a fight with me on the show set then."

Guo Shouxin doesn’t want Wang Cheng to make it difficult for him to step down in public.

What Wang Cheng does in the two program groups of Eastern Star and Spring and Summer with You is not a secret in the industry, and anyone who is interested can find out.

Every program director, producer, etc., must remember not to conflict with Wang Cheng in public, because Wang Cheng will never save you any face.

Liu Jinfeng smiled bitterly again and said: "Director Guo, then you really think highly of me. It's not that I refuse, I really can't help it, otherwise I would have done it long ago and wouldn't have parted ways with Eastern Star in the first place. It really can't be done , then Wang Cheng won’t be on board.”

 Seeing this situation, Liu Jinfeng was secretly happy and took the opportunity to ask Wang Cheng to withdraw from the stage.

Then it’s not that he took the initiative to prevent Wang Cheng from participating. It was because the stage rules conflicted with Wang Cheng’s work and rest time. He could avoid offending both parties.

 Under normal circumstances, he would never dare to offend Penguin Entertainment.

Otherwise, Penguin Entertainment would block Dongxing Entertainment’s traffic artists from the source of traffic, and Dongxing Entertainment would die suddenly on the spot in a matter of minutes.

Guo Shouxin on the other side was silent for a moment, and then said: "Are you sure you want to quit? Many people want to get in."

From the perspective of the program director, Guo Shouxin certainly hopes that Wang Cheng can appear on his program.

Although he is a more famous variety show director than He Lei and Wu Tong, he has never produced a program with a ratings of 3 or more!

　　Previously, when the ratings for Tomorrow’s Idol were the highest, it was just over 2 o’clock.

This year is the year when the traffic era explodes. Excellent trainees continue to emerge, and the ratings of tomorrow's idols are also expected to rise.

However, Wang Cheng is now the biggest viewer in the field of variety shows. He is definitely the only one in the entertainment industry who can single-handedly bring two shows to 3-point ratings.

If possible, Guo Shouxin does not want to miss Wang Cheng's ratings guarantee.

But…

Then why is Lao Shizi’s strange work and rest time?

If it is a recording and broadcasting, he is willing to give in to Wang Cheng and just manipulate the performance sequence.

 Wu Tong can do it, and so can he.

However, the live broadcast is impossible to operate because the live broadcast time starts around 8 pm, and Wang Cheng has already got off work by this time.

It's impossible to advance the live broadcast time to 5 or 6 p.m., right? At that time, everyone was at work and in class, so how could anyone watch TV?

Furthermore, it is impossible for the program team to change so much just for Wang Cheng alone.

Then where should he and the entire Tomorrow Idol crew put their face and dignity?

Liu Jinfeng said regretfully: "Director Guo, I really can't do anything about Wang Cheng. He said that his only insistence is that his work and rest time will never change. I can make the decision for him in other matters, as long as he agrees to his work and rest time Time, even if it’s a program announcement on Northwest TV, he can go there.”

Guo Shouxin knew Wang Cheng's style in detail, and knowing that Liu Jinfeng was telling the truth, he said with a headache: "Okay, I just want to let you know first, and we will discuss the details next week. If it doesn't work, then he Just don’t come!”

Liu Jinfeng said hurriedly: "Wang Cheng is not going, but Huang Bin and Mo Bailin are still going!"

Guo Shou was stunned for a moment, and then felt a little strange: "Okay, let's talk about it then."

Wang Cheng jumped from the Oriental Star program group to the Spring and Summer With You program group, bringing trainees Huang Bin and Mo Bailin from the third position to the championship, and gained the opportunity to be on the most powerful stage for trainees, the Idol of Tomorrow. quota, then Wang Cheng left, Huang Bin and Mo Bailin went to perform at Tomorrow Idol...

This, what do you think, does it look like power leveling in the game?

and.

 It is a god-level power leveling that can bring teammates to the top ten when the season is about to end.

Wang Cheng was already at work at this time, and he wanted to take Huang Bin and Mo Bailin to record a new song on the first day!

 Huang Bin and Mo Bailin got the lyrics and music. They were so excited that they dispersed their sleepiness after not sleeping all night, and they all started recording songs!

 The sales of "Invert the Earth" have exceeded 5 million by noon. This is another hit single with sales exceeding 10 million on the first day...

 They are naturally more excited about the recording of Wang Cheng’s new songs.

Program director Wu Tong and producer Fang Xueshu heard that Wang Cheng was producing a new song, and they were relieved and had more confidence in the ratings of the last episode of the program.

However, Wang Cheng had two performances and only recorded one new song, which slightly disappointed some people who expected him to perform two new songs at once.

 The other three teams remaining in the program group are also undergoing intensive practice preparations to show their full strength for the final performance.

time flies!

 Lately, the outside world has been turbulent.

Several popular talent show variety shows that are impacting tomorrow's idols have entered the final sprint stage. The contestants who aspire to win the championship have begun to express themselves crazily. The performances are more exciting and they have shown all their strength. At the same time, the companies behind them have also invested more. There are many resources to hype its popularity and increase its popularity!

Tomorrow’s Idol program team also released information about the five additional audition teams to pre-heat the show.

 For a time, several popular talent show variety shows and tomorrow's idols have become the hottest topics, and popular contestants among them frequently appear on major social platforms.

However, Wang Cheng is still as calm as me, working, getting off work, and sleeping. He doesn't care about the news from the outside world. He only occasionally hears Huang Bin and Mo Bailin excitedly discussing a few words, and hears some people such as Wen Yixiao and others. name, but I didn’t ask or pay attention to it.

 Soon, the recording of the last program ended successfully!

 The broadcast time is coming soon.

 This time.

Spring and summer have your final work.

 Attracting the attention of everyone inside and outside the industry.

 Whether it is ordinary viewers, fans of Wang Cheng, or many professionals in the industry, they are all paying close attention to it.
