This Star Doesn’t Work Overtime

Chapter 87 86. Wang Cheng: I respect the contract and work hard!

Liu Jinfeng used one mobile phone to play the new song Wuha that Wang Cheng had just released, and used another mobile phone to browse Weibo messages. He looked at Wang Cheng's Weibo popularity and the popularity of people discussing Wang Cheng's new song, and murmured in a low voice. : "This song is going to be popular again, and the sales volume will definitely not be lost to Jingwumen!"

 Liu Jinfeng felt a little regretful...

 Another song with monthly sales of more than 10 million, but under the terms of the supplementary contract just signed, the company can only get 10%, which is a loss of millions!

but…

Liu Jinfeng looked at the Weibo posts of Huang Bin and Mo Bailin again, and saw that Huang Bin's followers were increasing significantly faster than usual. At this time, the number of followers had increased by hundreds of thousands. Mo Bai Lin also gained tens of thousands of new fans, and several other team members also gained tens of thousands of new fans, and they all enjoyed the popularity brought by the program team's hype of this song.

“Haha, as long as I can bring Huang Bin and the others together, so what if I give you a few million concessions?”

 Liu Jinfeng muttered to himself and was in a good mood. He directly picked up the phone and called Chen Xiaoyong, the temporary manager of Huang Bin and others.

 The call was connected almost immediately, and Chen Xiaoyong's voice came: "Hello, Director Liu!"

 Liu Jinfeng immediately asked: "Did the recording of today's program go well?"

 Chen Xiaoyong: "Well, it went well, everything went well. The performances by Wang Cheng, Huang Bin, and Mo Bailin were very exciting. The program team recognized it very much and spent a lot of resources on them."

 Liu Jinfeng: "That's good! When you take Huang Bin and the others, let them have as little contact with Wang Cheng as possible."

Chen Xiaoyong was stunned for a moment, but without asking any more questions, he directly agreed: "Okay, I understand, I will pay attention to it."

Liu Jinfeng did not hide his thoughts and explained: "You don't want Huang Bin and others to learn Wang Cheng's strange habits, right?"

Forehead?

 Chen Xiaoyong has never thought about this aspect.

However, when he thought about Huang Bin and Mo Bailin, if they were as difficult to take care of as Wang Cheng, and they would either have to get off work or read a book and take a walk every day, he would probably go crazy.

 So, he immediately said firmly: "I will definitely keep an eye on them."

 Liu Jinfeng: "Okay..."

 After finishing speaking, Liu Jinfeng hung up the phone. Just as he was about to go to the Happy Boys Program to check on Ma Yunfei, his phone suddenly rang.

The call was from Fang Xueshu, the producer of the Spring and Summer Youqi program.

Liu Jinfeng answered the call immediately and said with a hearty smile: "Lao Fang, I heard that Wang Cheng performed very well in your program. Will you treat me to dinner next time?"

Fang Xue Shu smiled and said: "Of course! Mr. Liu, after internal discussions, we want to renew the contract with Wang Cheng in advance and directly package the remaining three episodes. The price is the same as this episode. What do you think?"

Liu Jinfeng was stunned for a moment, and then a surprised smile appeared on his face.

There are still three phases left in Spring and Summer. If all are calculated as 7.5 million per phase, another 22.5 million can be accounted for. Adding the 7.5 million already accounted for this phase, that is a full three Ten million!

 Four episodes, 40 million!

This price is already at the level of a top-tier celebrity, and is higher than the single-term price Ankeru signed with Oriental Star.

but!

Liu Jinfeng is also a shrewd businessman. After thinking about it for a while, he realized that Fang Xueshu was so anxious to renew the contract in advance. He must be very confident in the ratings of the show that will be broadcast tomorrow. Otherwise, it would be impossible to just spend more than 20 million to renew the contract in advance.

 However, once the ratings are considerable by then.

 The prices are also different...

Liu Jinfeng smiled and said: "Old Fang, there is no rush in this matter. I don't want you to take too big a risk. If the ratings are not satisfactory by then, I don't dare to ask for such a high price. So, wait until it is broadcast tomorrow. How about we talk about it after we get out?"

Fang Xue Shu said earnestly: "Director Liu, we are willing to take the risk ourselves."

Liu Jinfeng changed the topic directly: "Old Fang, don't talk about this anymore. By the way, Old Li from Eastern Star contacted me yesterday and asked me about Wang Cheng's contract. They wanted to buy Wang Cheng back. This matter You should know, right?"

Fang Xue Shu calmed down: "Yes, I know. Okay, let's wait until tomorrow. Mr. Liu, I hope we can continue to have a happy cooperation."

 Liu Jinfeng: "Of course, Lao Fang, goodbye!"

 Fang Xue Shu: “Director Liu, goodbye!”

hang up the phone.

Liu Jinfeng squinted his eyes, his eyes full of smiles, picked up his phone again and looked at Wang Cheng's Weibo page, and murmured in a low voice: "You are really a money tree! Since you can only have it for two years, then I'm going to shake it like crazy..."

 …

 The show is over.

 According to the contract, the contract between Wang Cheng and Chunxia You You has ended.

One of the principles that Wang Cheng adheres to is to respect the stipulations in the contract. He must abide by it after he signs it, and do not leave any clues to others.

so…

 Get up from a nap at noon.

Wang Cheng booked a ticket back to Shanghai on his mobile phone, packed up his things, and left the dormitory with a salute, preparing to go to the station to return to Shanghai. He should be able to catch dinner in the company cafeteria.

At this time, the entire program team was fully engaged in post-production. Wu Tong and Fang Xueshu were watching personally, and everyone else was busy running around, performing their duties, so no one paid attention to the movements of the contestants.

 The recording of today's program has ended. The afternoon is a rare rest time for the contestants. It is normal to come and go.

only…

Wang Cheng brought a lot of things. The security guard at the door looked at Wang Cheng curiously and watched Wang Cheng leave without asking any questions.

Several trainees saw Wang Cheng leaving with his things, and they all looked at him curiously, but no one came up to talk to Wang Cheng to ask about the situation, and they just talked behind his back.

“Wang Cheng is gone? What are you doing? Have you been driven away by the program team again?”

 “I don’t know, he is very strange.”

“Their performance today was so exciting, it’s impossible for the program team to drive him away...”

“Who knows, maybe he offended the director and producer again?”

 …

It just so happened that Chen Xiaoyong came back with Huang Bin and Mo Bailin. Instead of eating in the cafeteria at noon, they went out to have a big meal to celebrate. Just when they came back, they saw Wang Cheng stopping a car. The taxi was about to get on.

 Chen Xiaoyong was immediately startled. He hurriedly ran forward and held Wang Cheng's car door. He stared at Wang Cheng sitting in the back seat and asked, "Wang Cheng, where are you going?"

Wang Cheng looked at Chen Xiaoyong and replied easily: "Go back to the Magic City!"

 Huang Bin and Mo Bailin also ran over. Seeing Wang Cheng get into the taxi with his heart in his heart, several people were also shocked.

Mo Bailin also asked hurriedly: "Wang Cheng, what are you doing back in the Magic City? Isn't it great here? We will work together on the next show!"

Huang Bin also said: "Yes, Wang Cheng, what did we do wrong?"

Wang Cheng shook his head, looked at the anxious people, showed a rare smile, and said: "No, you are not bad, you have good talents, and you work hard enough, but you haven't worked hard for long enough. Just keep improving yourself in the future. My return to the Magic City has nothing to do with you. It’s just that my contract with the show team has ended. I only signed a contract for one period. According to the contract, after the show is over, I have nothing to do with the show team. Of course, I can’t live and eat here for free, so I just I can go back to the company apartment in Shanghai."

 Instinctively, Wang Cheng's idea of ​​buying a house became more urgent.

 This is a deep-rooted traditional thought in China for thousands of years. Only when you have your own home can you be considered to have roots, and only when you have a house can you be considered to have your own home.

 Chen Xiaoyong, Huang Bin, and Mo Bailin were all shocked after hearing Wang Cheng's words!

You only signed for one episode, and the contract ends when the performance is over. Can’t you live in the program group and live and eat for free?

 Say this…

 There seems to be nothing wrong with it!

But!

 No one from the program team will chase you away.

Huang Bin hurriedly said: "Wang Cheng, don't leave. The program team will definitely renew your contract. Our cooperation this time has been so smooth, and we still want to continue to cooperate with you. It would be best if we can form a group and debut together directly, so that you can Come be our leader, and everyone of us will listen to you."

Mo Bailin also said hurriedly: "Wang Cheng, how about asking Brother Yong to contact the program director first? They will definitely not let you go."

 Chen Xiaoyong was inexperienced after all, so he came to his senses after hearing Mo Bailin’s words, and immediately took out his phone: “I’ll call Director Wu right now!”

Wang Cheng smiled, even though he knew that they were reluctant to leave alone. He wanted him to lead them on their debut, and he wanted him to continue writing and singing for them, so that they could get the greatest benefit...

 However, he still felt a little happy and said with a smile: "Tell Director Wu to talk to the company about renewing the contract. I'll go back first!"

 After saying that, he closed the car door, waved to Huang Bin and Mo Bailin, and then the driver quickly started driving to the station.

 If you don’t leave, you won’t be able to catch the high-speed rail. "Hey, Wang Cheng, wait a minute..."

 Chen Xiaoyong just dialed the phone, watched the car drive away, and shouted several times, but the driver did not stop.

Huang Bin and others also watched the car go away helplessly. They looked at each other. The excitement of releasing a new song today dissipated a lot. They couldn't help but think of Zhang Hanwen and others who had previously collaborated with Wang Cheng on the Eastern Star stage. Maybe Were Zhang Hanwen and the others also so disappointed at that time?

Thinking of the misery of Zhang Hanwen and others being beaten back to their original shape after Wang Cheng left, a trace of fear and panic flashed in the eyes of Huang Bin and Mo Bailin.

Hum buzz buzz…

Wu Tong was in the post-production process, staring at the screen and discussing with several assistant directors, while the phone kept vibrating and ringing.

He didn't want to pay attention at first, but when he saw that it was Chen Xiaoyong, the manager of Wang Cheng and Huang Bin, he picked up the phone and answered the call: "Xiao Chen, are you okay?"

 Normally, the agents of these trainees will not contact him directly, but have dedicated assistant directors to contact them.

 Chen Xiaoyong said hurriedly: "Director Wu, the program team and Wang Cheng only signed a one-term contract. After Wang Cheng's performance is over, the contract ends, is that right?"

Wu Tong was stunned for a moment, frowned slightly and thought for a moment, then said: "According to the contract, it is like this. After the performance is over, the contract will be over. But don't worry, we have already planned to renew the contract with Wang Cheng."

Chen Xiaoyong stared at the taxi driving away and said in a helpless tone: "Director Wu, Wang Cheng just left in a taxi. He said that the contract was over and he could no longer stay in the program group and had returned to the Magic City."

"ah…?"

Wu Tong stood up in surprise and shouted. Several assistant directors around him and Fang Xueshu not far away were startled and looked at Wu Tong in confusion. Wu Tong had no time to explain and directly faced Chen Xiaoyong said: "When did you leave? Which train?"

Chen Xiaoyong: "I just left, less than a few minutes later! We met at the door and he was already sitting in the car without stopping us. He said that if the program team wanted to renew the contract, he would go talk to the company and he would go back first!"

Wu Tong hung up the phone and ran outside, shouting at the same time: "Get the car ready immediately and go to the high-speed rail station."

　　The staff of the program team immediately picked up the phone and called a special car to come over.

Fang Xue Shu asked hurriedly: "What's wrong?"

Wu Tong quickly explained: "Chen Xiaoyong called and said that Wang Cheng had just taken the bus to the station and was going back to Magic City!"

Fang Xueshu and several other assistant directors were all surprised when they heard this, and everyone had questions on their faces...

Wu Tong said with a strange expression: "He said that when the show is over, the contract will end, so he can't stay on the show! If we want to renew the contract, let's talk to the company."

Fang Xue Shu also hurriedly followed Wu Tong's pace and trotted out together. A high-end business car was already waiting outside.

 The two of them got into the car directly. The master already knew the destination and drove directly to the station quickly.

Fang Xue Shu said with a strange expression: "I just contacted Liu Jinfeng and wanted to renew the contract in advance, and Wang Cheng left! Did Liu Jinfeng want to raise the price and deliberately asked Wang Cheng away?"

 Wu Tong thought for a while and nodded: "It's possible!"

Fang Xueshu didn't look good. He took out his phone and called Liu Jinfeng. He was quickly connected: "Director Liu, what you are doing is too unethical. If you have a request, you can discuss it with us. There is no need to call someone." Let’s go?”

Liu Jinfeng had just arrived at Chengdu TV Station. When he heard this, he asked inexplicably: "Old Fang, what's going on? What did you say? Why did you call people away? Who left?"

Fang Xue Shu was confused and asked: "Wang Cheng just left and returned to the Demon City. Didn't you ask him to leave?"

Liu Jinfeng felt that a big blame fell on his back, and hurriedly explained: "Lao Fang, we have known each other for more than ten years. Do you think I am such a person? I haven't contacted Wang Cheng for several days. I don't know at all." Knowing what he's going to do, you know, I can't control him at all."

 Fang Xue Shu: “It’s really not you?”

 Liu Jinfeng promised: "It's definitely not me!"

 Fang Xue Shu believed Liu Jinfeng’s words.

 After all, he has seen Wang Cheng's weirdness before.

Wang Cheng is at odds with the company, and his conflict with Liu Jinfeng is almost public. Everyone in the industry knows that Liu Jinfeng may not be able to command Wang Cheng.

“Okay, let’s go get Wang Cheng back first.”

 After Fang Xue Shu finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Wu Tong also understood that Liu Jinfeng was unlikely to do such a thing.

That was Wang Cheng’s own decision?

for what?

 The two of them couldn't figure it out, and their hearts were heavy.

 They finally recorded a very satisfactory and exciting program, but before it was broadcast, the stage pillar left...

 The car arrived at the station soon.

 The two got out of the car quickly.

Wu Tong took out his phone and called Wang Cheng, and then hurried to the station.

The call was quickly connected.

“Wang Cheng, where are you? Don’t get in the car yet. Lao Fang and I are here to pick you up.”

Wu Tong said quickly.

 Wang Cheng: "The car has just left! Director Wu, there is no need to trouble you."

Wu Tong stopped immediately, with disappointment on his face: "The car has left? Going to the Magic City?"

Wang Cheng: "Well, I left as soon as I got in the car. The time was just right."

Wu Tong: "Wang Cheng, why did you leave suddenly without telling us?"

Wang Cheng was sitting on an ordinary seat on the high-speed train, wearing a mask and a hat, looking at the scenery outside the window, and said calmly: "Director Wu, our contract is over, it's time for me to leave."

 Wu Tong: “We will definitely renew the contract with you!”

 Wang Cheng: “That will happen in the future.”

Wu Tong was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say. He was silent for a few seconds and could only say: "Okay, I'll talk to your company about renewing the contract."

 Wang Cheng: “Okay.”

 Wu Tong collected his emotions and said seriously: "Goodbye, it's a pleasure to work with you this time, and I look forward to continuing to cooperate."

Wang Cheng smiled lightly: "Of course, I always respect contracts and work hard."

hang up the phone.

Wu Tong felt heavy.

Fang Xue Shu asked: "Leaved?"

Wu Tong nodded: "Well, let's go!"

Fang Xue Shu: "What did he say? Why did he leave?"

Wu Tong said in a complicated tone: "He said that he respected the contract and worked seriously!"

Fang Xue Shu was silent for a moment after hearing this, not knowing what to say.

Wu Tong: "Forget it, let's wait until the show airs tomorrow! Anyway, we want to renew his contract as much as possible, and we have the priority to renew the contract!"

 Fang Xue Shu nodded!

But everyone is gone.

 When the time comes to renew the contract, the cost may be even greater.

 Respect the contract? Work hard?

 The two of them carefully reviewed what Wang Cheng said, and it seemed that this was really what happened.

Although…

Wang Cheng has some strange problems, such as his crazy work schedule. He doesn't go to work until a certain time and gets off work on time, regardless of other people's arrangements!

 However, during working hours, Wang Cheng is really serious and responsible, extremely capable, and his stage performance is absolutely satisfactory.

 During working hours, he can be said to be conscientious in his duties.

Wu Tong added: "Let the program team use resources to promote Wang Cheng's new song and express our goodwill."

Fang Xue Shu nodded: "No problem, I think so too."
