This Star Doesn’t Work Overtime

  Chapter 67 66. Updated S-class potential! Penguin Entertainment comes back with a hoe...

Wang Cheng had gone to bed and rested long ago.

 However, this night, many other people could not sleep.

 Liu Jinfeng had not slept all day and night, but he was not sleepy at all. He was sitting in the office talking on the phone with the general manager of the company.

The boss behind Dongxing Entertainment is a local real estate tycoon in Shanghai. In the past few years, he took advantage of the rise of the traffic era and established this entertainment company with traffic trainees as the main body. It has also made a lot of money in the past few years. .

  However, because the golden age of real estate has passed in the past few years, the real estate company owned by the boss seems to have encountered difficulties. In the past two years, almost all the profits of Dongxing Entertainment have been taken away, leaving Dongxing Entertainment unable to continue to develop and expand!

Now, a top star suddenly appeared under Dongxing Entertainment, which even alarmed the boss behind him. He then called the general manager of the company to inquire about the situation, and then the general manager called the artist director Liu Jinfeng...

because!

The emergence of a new top player means that the company can make more money this year and draw more cash flow by the end of the year.

Liu Jinfeng held the phone with a wry smile on his face: "Mr. Yang, of course I know very well what you said. Wang Cheng's contract was only for three years, which was a major mistake we made at the beginning. Among them, we did not consider the copyright treaty well. We I didn't expect Wang Cheng to become popular so quickly. I just thought that after three years, he was not popular yet, so it would be easy to renew the contract. As for copyright, who cares about a trainee's copyright?"

“However, since the first episode of Wang Cheng’s program was broadcast, the popularity has increased rapidly. I want to recover this loss. I have contacted Wang Cheng several times, but we have not been able to negotiate a contract.”

“Wang Cheng is determined not to renew the contract and will not modify the copyright terms. Any promises and threats I make are useless!”

General Manager Yang Rong said in a deep voice: "Are you sure it's useless?"

Liu Jinfeng was helpless: "Yes, I went there again this morning, this is the fourth time. But, it still didn't work! I was still very angry. I have already convened a meeting in the company to discuss how to deal with the king. Cheng’s problem. We only have his two-year contract, let’s discuss how to make reasonable use of this two-year contract!”

“He is already a top-tier fan now. Although he has tens of millions of fans just now, his hidden value is not low. If we simply hide it, we will waste the popularity value of a top-tier fan.”

Yang Rong said with certainty: "Of course we cannot waste such high-quality resources. The boss still expects us to make more money, and he will withdraw money again at the end of the year."

Liu Jinfeng: "Then there is only one way. Next, we will receive notifications for him like crazy. No matter it is bad or good, as long as the price is high enough, we will accept anyone who comes! We will monetize his popularity in a short time. His popularity is almost exhausted, his contract is almost expired, he can do whatever he likes."

Yang Rong: “That’s all I can do. I will also attend the meeting when the time comes.”

 Liu Jinfeng: “That’s the best!”

hang up the phone.

Liu Jinfeng’s eyes were still bright and focused, staring at the computer screen on the table.

The above is Wang Cheng's Weibo page. The number of followers clearly shows eight figures, more than 10.5 million!

Ding…

 The phone message rang.

Liu Jinfeng quickly picked it up and looked at it. An acquaintance sent over the sales data of Penguin Music Jingwumen.

"A single-day sales volume of more than 1.6 million! This sales volume is no worse than Li Tianfeng's first-day sales. Tomorrow, we will also recommend it to the rankings. The final monthly sales volume may not be worse than Li Tianfeng's single, or even higher. high…"

 Liu Jinfeng estimated for a moment, and a wry smile appeared on his face again.

　　When Li Tianfeng released the single, the company spent a lot of resources to promote it, and finally it won the third place in the single-month sales list, with monthly sales reaching more than 10 million.

 But Wang Cheng, now he did it so suddenly and easily...

Wang Cheng’s potential once again exceeded his most optimistic expectations.

Just now, the entertainment industry data consulting company updated him again with Wang Cheng’s latest data sheet.

 The potential has been raised to S level, and it is predicted that this may not be the limit yet, and may be raised to S+ in the future!

 The potential value of S+ has never been seen since the era of data in the entertainment industry, and the highest is S level.

 Could it be that…

 Can such a monster appear under his command?

But…

 He can only have it for two years.

Liu Jinfeng felt heartbroken when he thought of this.

 …

　　Xiannan Satellite TV.

Of course Wen Yixiao didn't sleep. She had just practiced for a while. There were beads of sweat on her forehead and her hair stuck to her cheeks, adding a touch of sport and vitality.

  She took a sip of water and picked up her phone to look at it. However, what she was looking at was not her own stuff. Instead, she directly clicked on Wang Cheng’s Weibo page.

Looking at the long list of numbers on it, the number of tens of millions of fans is already more than twice her number. However, after her show is broadcast, she believes that her number of fans will also increase significantly!

"Why?"

 Wen Yixiao was a little confused.

 She clicked on Penguin Music and played Wang Cheng's "Jing Wu Men". She personally liked this song.

“Could it be that original music can really attract fans quickly?”

Wen Yixiao once again made up his mind to embark on his own musical path.

Ding!

 The agent sent her a message.

Wen Yixiao clicked on it and her big watery eyes widened again: "Sales of more than 1.6 million?"

She immediately sent a message back to her agent: "I will ask the vocal teacher to come over tomorrow to give me lessons. I will sing most of the lyrics for the subsequent performances!"

Agent Peng Donghua did not stop him and responded affirmatively: "Okay, I will arrange it for you!"

If it were someone else, even if Wu Han made such a request, the company would reject it because it would distract some of the energy before the performance, rob other teammates of their lyrics, and cause internal conflicts, which may eventually lead to internal strife.

but…

 Wen Yixiao’s request.

Penguin Entertainment will only try its best to satisfy you.

 If your teammates are not satisfied, then replace them!

Wen Yixiao’s eyes sparkled, and her heart was full of motivation and fighting spirit. She would not lose to anyone.

 …

 An Keru hasn’t rested yet.

 She was lying on the luxurious bed in the hotel, looked at Wang Cheng's Weibo, smiled slightly, and said to herself: "He gained tens of millions of fans in one day."

She sent a message to her agent Jiang Yun and asked: "How much is the sales volume of Jingwumen today?" Jiang Yun immediately replied: "I was about to send it to you. It has already exceeded 1.6 million. It will be recommended at next year's meeting! This sales volume , I’m afraid it can’t be stopped, this song will become popular. Penguin Music’s recommendation, coupled with the super high playback data on Penguin Video, have brought a lot of popularity to this song and Wang Cheng.”

“If Wang Cheng is willing to cooperate and cooperate with the program team and the company’s hype, his number of followers today may be more than 5 million! This trainee’s potential is really terrible, but it’s a pity that his personality ruined it.”

An Keru was in a complicated mood. She didn’t reply to her agent. She suddenly felt a little depressed. She put down her phone and fell down to sleep.

 …

 At the same time, many trainees who performed on the same stage as Wang Cheng were also practicing frantically, and no one took a break.

 Zhang Hanwen, Wu Han, Li Feifan, etc., all the remaining trainees did not sleep and were practicing extra!

 Because, the program team did some psychological work for each of them.

 Next, everyone will have a chance, and Wang Cheng is their role model!

 Each of them hopes to become the next Wang Cheng.

 Be able to surpass the entire second-tier stage in one day and directly become a top-tier first-tier player.

 Becoming a top player is already the ultimate goal for almost all of them.

 …

The entire Chinese entertainment industry is in turmoil.

 Many entertainment companies, and even several entertainment giants, have paid more attention to Wang Cheng, a trainee.

 Many musicians are also carefully studying Wang's song "Jingwumen" which may be about to become a hit.

When Wang Cheng opened his eyes and got up at six o'clock the next morning, he picked up his cell phone and looked at it, and found countless missed calls.

 There are Liu Jinfeng’s, Zhang Xiuhua’s, and many unknown numbers.

Wang Cheng did not return the calls one by one. He just glanced at them, ignored them, and continued with his own pace of life.

 Put on your clothes, take a quick shower, and then go out to get ready for a morning run.

But!

 He just walked downstairs.

There was a middle-aged woman standing at the door, and she was someone Wang Cheng knew—Wu Han’s agent, Mo Jinhua from Penguin Entertainment.

Mo Jinhua's face was full of exhaustion, and her eyes had some dark circles. She might not have slept all night. As soon as she saw Wang Cheng coming out, she hurriedly stepped forward and said with a warm smile on her face: "Wang Cheng, good morning."

Wang Cheng just nodded politely to Mo Jinhua: "Good morning!"

Then, he didn't pay much attention to Mo Jinhua and started his morning jog slowly.

Mo Jinhua was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly followed Wang Cheng and said quickly: "Wang Cheng, can we have a chat? I bring greater sincerity."

Wang Cheng's pace did not change, he still kept jogging, kept his breath, and said in an unhurried tone: "If you want to poach me and negotiate a contract, there is no need to say anything. I made it clear to you last time Yes, that is my eternal answer. It is the same answer for everyone, no matter what conditions you set, it is the same answer."

 After saying that, Wang Cheng shut up and didn't want to say more about the same thing.

 He knew Mo Jinhua's purpose as soon as he thought about it.

It is nothing more than seeing that his popularity has soared and his song sales are very high, so he has brought a higher price and wants to poach him. He buys out his contract with Dongxing Entertainment in advance, but he has to sign a long-term contract directly with Penguin Entertainment.

No matter what conditions the other party gives, Wang Cheng cannot extend the contract that binds him, not even for a day.

The other party wants to buy out his contract, no problem, he doesn’t care.

 But, I want to renew the contract...

does not exist.

Mo Jinhua obviously didn't exercise much. She was out of breath after jogging a few steps. She carefully recalled the last conversation with Wang Cheng and said hurriedly: "Wang Cheng, we still directly buy out the child labor contract between Dongxing Entertainment and you. According to what we know, You know, you only get 10% of the income from this contract. If we buy it out directly, we will sign a 50-50 contract with you, and you will get a lot more money just from the income."

"We know that your contract with Dongxing Entertainment owns the copyright of your work. We also respect this contract and will still give you the copyright of your work. We have no other requirements. The only requirement is that the contract should be signed for a minimum of five years. We at Penguin Entertainment will give you what you want. Any resources available will turn you into a powerful superstar..."

"Your singing skills are not good. We can invite the best vocal teacher to help you train. You are only nineteen years old and your voice has not yet been formed. There is still the possibility of improvement. Coupled with your creative ability and dancing ability, you are in strength. There will be no flaws. Your only flaw is the lack of a strong platform."

"Dongxing Entertainment is just a second-rate company and cannot support the traffic of superstars at all. Our Penguin Entertainment has the largest traffic in the country. It just complements you and can tap your potential in the shortest time, and then get more The recognition of many fans will make you the kindest star in the entire Chinese entertainment industry!"

 Mo Jinhua started drawing cakes like crazy!

 My singing skills are not good?

Wang Cheng knew that many people in the outside world thought of him this way, but he did not explain it.

 If it doesn’t work, then it won’t work…

 You don’t have to sing, and you can save a lot of energy and time.

Even if his singing talent, which is better than the king-level in his previous life, is buried, it doesn't matter to him.

Mo Jinhua was afraid that she would not be able to communicate with Wang Cheng later, so she said everything she wanted to say in one breath. This was the words she had thought of after waiting outside for half an hour. After finishing speaking, her face turned red and she felt tired. She couldn't do it and wanted to stop and rest, but Wang Cheng didn't stop, so she didn't dare to stop. She still had to wait for Wang Cheng's answer.

But…

 She ran hard for more than ten meters, but Wang Cheng remained silent and said nothing.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　hur...

After taking a few breaths, Mo Jinhua asked hurriedly: "Wang Cheng, what do you think?"

Wang Cheng looked forward and said calmly: "I understand, you can go back. My answer is the same as last time, it remains the same!"

Mo Jinhua finally couldn't hold on any longer and stopped, watching helplessly as Wang Cheng's back gradually faded away.

 “This boy!”

Mo Jinhua gritted her teeth: "It's really hard to take care of her."

 She can better understand why Zhang Xiuhua and Liu Jinfeng had conflicts with Wang Cheng.

 There is really no agent willing to accept such an artist.

Thinking about Wang Cheng's answer last time, she was speechless for a moment.

She still remembered what Wang Cheng said last time: "If you want to buy out my contract, just go and talk to Dongxing Entertainment. You don't need to ask my opinion. I will work for whoever has the contract. But if you want to extend the contract, It’s impossible…”

 She remembered roughly what it meant!

How to talk about this?

 Buy out the contract directly?

Twenty million in liquidated damages have been paid, but if you don’t renew the contract when the time comes, wouldn’t Penguin Entertainment be taken advantage of?

Mo Jinhua felt a headache.
