This Star Doesn’t Work Overtime

 Chapter 98 96. The level of showing off skills! This song is going to be a hit! (Please subscribe)

Wang Cheng once again showed everyone his fan loyalty and fan activity!

Just one minute after the news of the new song was released, 100,000 people liked and forwarded it, and the number of people who left comments reached tens of thousands. It was the ninth most popular news on the platform directly, and the popularity value is still increasing rapidly.

because…

It is usually very rare for Wang Cheng to send fishing messages. This time there was no news for three or four days, as if he had disappeared.

Now a useful message has suddenly been sent out. For these fans, it’s like celebrating the New Year!

"The missing person has returned. Sisters who have called 110, please go and solve the case."

“Finally, Xiao Chengcheng’s new song has been released, so I’ll download it now.”

“Xiao Chengcheng, don’t you have any photos?”

"Xiao Chengcheng, have you recorded the program today? Will it be broadcast tomorrow?"

 “Xiao Chengcheng, remember to send us a message every day, just one message, no matter one word!”

“Xiao Chengcheng, I don’t want you to post photos anymore, just post a few words every day…”

“Smart people have already downloaded new songs, but you are still here, Ni Ni Wai Wai Wai, and geckos roaming around. It’s weird when you hear it, but it sounds good.”

 “Xiao Chengcheng’s new song must be good, please like it first and then listen to it.”

“Have you noticed that two of Xiao Chengcheng’s songs have already been on the top ten of Penguin Music’s monthly chart? There are only a few days left in this month, can this song Gecko Walking be on the top ten of the monthly chart?”

“Hahaha, that’s difficult, there are only a few days left, how can it surpass those songs that have sold over 10 million copies?”

“Two songs have reached the top ten of the monthly chart at once. Xiao Chengcheng is already very good.”

“Support Xiao Chengcheng, sisters, go and download it...”

 …

In addition to many fans cheering, many passers-by and pure fans who had listened to Wang Cheng's songs also saw the news, and then quickly entered Penguin Music to search for the song Gecko Walking, skipping the audition link, and clicked directly It doesn't matter if you pay to download without any discount. This is the trust Wang Cheng has accumulated with his two songs.

Obviously, the spring and summer program team has communicated with Penguin Music, otherwise it would not have been reviewed so quickly, and it was approved for sale in less than a minute.

On the other hand, Han Xiao’s Weibo quickly became a hot topic.

Just because she posted a set of photos of herself and Wang Cheng, without any text, just a set of nine-square photos, standing next to Wang Cheng wearing a mask, raising scissor hands, with a smile on his face, the nine photos are almost The same, except that the position of her scissor hands has changed slightly. Wang Cheng is like a sculpture inside, without any change.

 In just ten minutes, it received tens of thousands of likes and reposts, and tens of thousands of comments.

 It’s just that many of the people who left messages in the comment area were envious and jealous Wang Cheng fans.

“You took a photo with my little Chengcheng again? Han Xiao, please go away...”

 “Han Xiao, let go of Xiao Chengcheng.”

“Xiaoxiao, tell the truth, what is your relationship with Wang Cheng…”

“Is this the end of Wang Cheng’s performance? Han Xiao, please tell me in advance, how was Wang Cheng’s performance?”

“I have to say that Han Xiao’s looks and figure are really good, and he is a good match for Wang Cheng.”

 “What does it match? I’ll give you another chance to reorganize the language.”

“I really envy Han Xiao. Do you get to take a photo with Wang Cheng every time you record a show? I really love this benefit.”

“Haha, look at this photo, Han Xiao obviously took the photo out of wishful thinking. Wang Cheng moved very casually and remained motionless, not wanting to pay attention to Han Xiao.”

 “Well, isn’t Wang Cheng always aloof?”

“That’s right, Wang Cheng has always been aloof and cold, and he doesn’t even bother to pay attention to us fans, let alone Han Xiao…”

 …

Han Xiao's Weibo popularity also quickly reached the top ten, and it attracted more and more passers-by and Wang Cheng's fans, which further brought high popularity to Han Xiao, Wang Cheng, and the Spring and Summer With You program. heat.

Many people have paid attention to Han Xiao because they are looking forward to seeing Wang Cheng’s photos here next time. Even if they take a photo with Han Xiao, even if they are still wearing a mask, many people want to see it.

The discussion on the next program of Spring and Summer With You also suddenly shot up to the top ten hot news.

 Among the top ten most popular news on Weibo, three are related to Wang Cheng, and of course they are also related to the Spring and Summer With You program!

Behind this, it is natural that the spring and summer program team made great efforts and spent a lot of resources to make these three topics popular in one fell swoop to warm up tomorrow's program. It attracted a lot of attention and attracted many people's attention to the spring and summer programs. Xia Youyou's wonderful memories of the last episode of the show were all brought back, and I have expectations and interest in tomorrow's show.

 As for the release of Wang Cheng's new song and the news that the new spring and summer program will be broadcast soon, the first people to be alarmed are naturally the industry insiders.

 After all, a large number of people in the industry have been paying attention to Wang Cheng and the spring and summer program team.

The spring and summer program team renewed Wang Cheng's remaining three programs last week at a price of more than RMB 8.6 million per episode. The price figures broke the restriction of celebrity status, which made many people in the industry dissatisfied.

so…

Everyone is waiting for the new spring and summer program to be broadcast, and they are vaguely expecting that if the ratings decline, then Wang Cheng's contract renewal price will not be referenced and will not put pressure on them to sign other big names.

Of course, in addition to people in the variety show industry, there are also many professionals in the field of pop music who are interested in Wang Cheng's new songs.

Li Guang, who has always paid great attention to Wang Cheng, naturally paid to download Wang Cheng's new song Gecko Walking immediately, then clicked to play it. At the same time, he picked up the phone and called an acquaintance in the Spring and Summer program team to inquire about this program in advance. information.

The music was playing, that weird, lazy and relaxing song, which made Li Guang feel much more relaxed, and he also affirmed the song.

Then, He Lei also came to Li Guang's office. His expression was much calmer. He no longer had the anxiety and decadence of the previous few days. He had accepted the reality and looked much more mature and steady. He heard that Li Guang was playing Wang Cheng He Lei's new song looked suddenly enlightened. As he walked along the way just now, he heard several staff from the program team playing this song.

This shows that almost everyone in the Eastern Star program team has been paying attention to Wang Cheng. After all, Wang Cheng came out of their stage, and it was also their most glorious moment.

He Lei shook his head and said: "The post-production is almost completed and it can be broadcast tonight!"

 The new program of Eastern Star has been produced.

However, the entire program team did not have much expectations for tonight's broadcast. The performance level of the contestants was still about the same, but the stage effect was lower than before because the funds were cut a lot.

He Lei didn’t even work overtime last night. He slept as usual and went to work in the morning to continue post-production, which was still successfully completed.

Li Guang put down the phone, looked at He Lei, and said with a strange expression: "I just called Lao Zhang from the Spring and Summer program team. The recording of their program team went smoothly. It is said that Wang Cheng's performance was equally exciting. But this time The recording was not peaceful either!”

He Lei was surprised: "Oh? What's wrong? Is it related to Wang Cheng?"

 Li Guang nodded and said seriously: "That's right! When Wang Cheng's recording was about to end, it was already one o'clock. What do you think he would do?"

He Lei's expression became serious when he heard this, remembering the last time he had a conflict with Wang Cheng.

Isn't it just because Wang Cheng insisted on his weird schedule and came too late to record the show? He left work and left when it was time for him to record at noon, so he wanted to suppress Wang Cheng in public, but failed. I thought it would overturn in the end, ruining the future of the entire program team.

Thinking of this, He Lei's expression was very complicated.

 He has been asking himself these past few days, what should he do if it happened again?

 Are you condoning Wang Cheng?

 Or deal with it privately? Don't you have a conflict with Wang Cheng in public and leave some room for maneuver?

did not expect…

 Now, the same thing happens in the spring and summer program group.

He Lei hurriedly asked: "What happened?"

 He wanted to know what Wang Cheng did, and even more, what Wu Tong would do.

Li Guang sighed, glanced at He Lei with a complicated expression, and continued: "When the time came, Wang Cheng was still on the stage, and he said he was going to get off work! In front of the entire program team!"

As soon as He Lei heard this, his heart beat faster.

 Because, from the director's position, he has an instinctive aversion to such things.

If someone in his program group does this, he will never say anything, deal with it directly, and maintain his dignity in the program group...

He then thought about it, wasn't this what he did to Wang Cheng last time?

 He asked quickly: "Where is Wu Tong? How did he do it?"

Li Guang: "Wu Tong immediately ended Wang Cheng's recording and arranged for others to perform! Then, he went up to greet Wang Cheng with a smile and reminded Wang Cheng to post a new song to warm up the show!"

After Li Guang finished speaking, he let out a sigh of relief. He had seen a lot of Wu Tong in his heart. For the first time, he felt that the rise of the Spring and Summer With You program was not due to luck in poaching Wang Cheng, but because Wu Tong's ability itself was very good.

Even if Wang Cheng is not hired, Wu Tong will be able to rely on his own abilities to gradually improve the program in the future.

He Lei listened and sat there in silence, with a somewhat tangled expression on his face.

He asked himself, if he were in Wu Tong's position, he would never be able to do such a thing. Ignoring it would be his greatest tolerance. It would be impossible for him to greet Wang Cheng with a smile...

so…

 Is this the reason for his failure?

From now on, will he be tolerant of those who play big names?

But!

 There is no other artist like Wang Cheng in the entire circle?

 Can he meet Wang Cheng again in the future?

 Shaked his head, he knew it was impossible.

 He also fulfilled his previous prophecy and may never meet Wang Cheng again in the future.

Not because he thought Wang Cheng was a big star and left the circle, but because he was no longer qualified to cooperate with Wang Cheng in the future...

With Wang Cheng’s current worth, there won’t be many people in the entire circle who can cooperate with Wang Cheng in the future!

 …

Wen Yixiao also immediately downloaded Wang Cheng's new song Gecko Walking. The name is quite weird. After hearing the rap in it, she felt even weirder. Both the lyrics and the rhythm were weird, but it was unexpectedly good. She sounds very comfortable and has a sense of not being in a routine, which is the feeling I want.

 She sent a message to Liu Shengjie and asked: "Teacher, did you listen to Wang Cheng's Gecko Walking?"

Liu Shengjie quickly replied: "I am listening to it for the second time. This song is very good. It has raised my opinion of him to a higher level."

Wen Yixiao asked: “Why?”

Liu Shengjie: "Because the lyrics, music, and arrangement of this song are all of a very high standard, even to the point of showing off one's skills. It's a pity that the singing skills of a few guys are so poor that it drags down the production level of the entire song."

 Wen Yixiao was silent.

 The level of dazzling skills?

 That means that the lyrics, music and arrangement of this song have reached a level that exceeds ordinary excellent pop music.

However, she has been mainly learning vocal and singing skills recently, and has only dabbled in a little bit of creative knowledge, so she cannot understand how high the level is. She can only hear that the singing skills of Huang Bin and Mo Bailin are very average. , it really dragged down the production level of this song!

 “Teacher, in my next performance, I want to sing live!”

Wen Yixiao suddenly said.

Liu Shengjie was silent for a while before replying: "Are you ready?"

Wen Yixiao mustered up her courage: "No problem, I believe in myself!"

Liu Shengjie: "You are indeed strong enough. You just need to adjust your mentality and pay attention to your performance on the spot. I will talk about this to you in class in the afternoon."

Wen Yixiao: “Okay, thank you, teacher!”

After finishing the communication with Liu Shengjie, Wen Yixiao continued to listen to Gecko Walking. Listening to the lyrics and the rhythm, she relaxed a lot. She couldn't help but follow the rhythm and lyrics, and walked easily in the practice room with steps. When I get up, every step is based on the rhythm. The fatigue from practicing all morning seems to be gone, and there is only a faint sense of relaxation and joy...

After walking around the practice room, Wen Yixiao woke up, with a flash of shock in his eyes. This song has this kind of magic?

 Is this the level of showing off your skills?

This guy’s musical talent is really ridiculous!

 …

 At this time, there were also many comments about this song on the Internet.

Although, it had only been ten minutes since Wang Cheng uploaded the song.

 However, many people downloaded it immediately and have listened to it two or three times, so they can’t wait to express their opinions for others to see.

“Gecko Stroll, my unique dance step. After listening to this song, I really want to dance, just like I can’t help but dance two steps to the rhythm of the music in a nightclub.”

“I like this song. You can download it with confidence. You will not be disappointed.”

“This song is better than Wuha and Jingwumen. I like it better. I have listened to it on a loop twice, so everyone can enjoy it with confidence.”

“I can’t help but want to dance to this song. I’m really looking forward to how Wang Cheng and the others will use this song to dance and perform on the stage tomorrow.”

“Speaking of which, Wang Cheng sings a new song every week and every song is pretty good. Is this normal?”

“It doesn’t matter if it’s normal or not, it’s enough that I like listening to it.”

“Except for the singer, everything else in this song is done by Wang Cheng. If he sings it himself, then all the names on the whole song will be his own!”

 …

This song received more positive reviews than the previous two songs.

It’s just that Wang Cheng himself didn’t know any of this and didn’t care. After lunch, he went back to the dormitory, drank a cup of tea, read for a while, and then got ready to take a nap. He didn’t care about the outside world at all.

but.

 The phone rang.

Wang Cheng didn’t want to answer the call at first, but when he saw it was Zhang Hanwen, he picked up the call.

Zhang Hanwen's excited voice quickly came over the phone: "Wang Cheng, your new song Gecko Walking is very nice! Ah... why, why did you leave us, I want to sing this song."

 Obviously, Zhang Hanwen could no longer suppress the emotions he had accumulated during this time.

 Looking at the scenery of Huang Bin and others during this period, he and several other teammates have endured it for a long time.

Now he listened to Wang Cheng's new song "Gecko Walking". He knew that this song would also be popular. The singers were still Huang Bin and Mo Bailin. He couldn't suppress the envy and jealousy in his heart towards Huang Bin and others, so he gave it to Wang Cheng Make a phone call and complain.

Wang Cheng had a good sense of Zhang Hanwen and smiled lightly: "If you want, you can fulfill my promise to you now."

Zhang Hanwen on the other end of the phone immediately fell silent. After venting for a while, he quickly woke up and said in a relaxed tone: "No, keep it for now. Your promise is becoming more and more valuable now. Many people in the company are Knowing the promise you gave me, other managers in the company called me two days ago and said that they wanted to buy a song you gave me, and the price was as high as 50,000."

 50,000 per song, in today’s pop music circle, is already a high price that only famous creators can get.

 General songs cost three to five thousand yuan each, and the full copyright is bought out, and the creator has nothing to do with it afterwards.

 This is also one of the reasons why the Chinese music scene is relatively declining now.

　　The creator doesn’t make money, so naturally he doesn’t want to spend time thinking about a good song. Basically, he just completes a song as quickly as possible and makes quick money. You can imagine what the quality is like.

Only a few of the famous creators can receive subsequent royalties. Basically, most of them can only receive a buyout fee, but the price is higher.

 This has also caused some famous creators to lose interest in writing songs. After all, people also have to make a living, and they have begun to switch careers to other behind-the-scenes jobs, or have started to sing on their own in front of the stage, or to make money on variety shows, etc...

In short, there are fewer and fewer people who are willing to make music with their heart and carve a song with their heart. Some of the older generation of capable singers have concentrated on doing variety shows and become singing tools. They just cover some old songs. Classic songs are used to consume feelings, and there have been no successful new songs for a long time.

 Hence, the value of a high-quality new song has become increasingly prominent.

　　Some traffic stars have released a popular new song, and they can rely on this song to maintain their popularity for a year or two. The song itself may not make much money, but relying on the popularity brought by this song can make a lot of money.

This is also the reason why Chinese music is declining and some stars still insist on releasing songs. It is not to make money by releasing songs, but to maintain popularity. Even if the songs are not successful, they can still create topics. If it doesn't work, they can just make their own rhythm...

And Wang Cheng has now released three new songs composed by himself in succession. The quality of the new songs is still high, and the sales volume speaks for itself!

 So, many people are eyeing Wang Cheng, a 19-year-old trainee.

Of course, the more important reason is that Wang Cheng’s three songs were all sung by others and he did not sing them himself. His singing skills are already recognized in the industry.

So, since you are singing for others, who should you sing for?

Therefore, many people want to invite Wang Cheng to sing, but they all know that Wang Cheng is difficult to communicate with in the industry, so they have not yet taken action and are still waiting and watching.

 However, within Dongxing Entertainment, many people know the news, that is, Zhang Hanwen received a promise from Wang Cheng.

This has caused the other two top first-tier celebrities of Dongxing Entertainment and several second-tier traffic stars to pay attention to Zhang Hanwen.

In the past two days, two agents have taken action. They contacted Zhang Hanwen and wanted to buy Wang Cheng’s promise and ask Wang Cheng to write a song for them...

 The price is already 50,000.

Wang Cheng was slightly surprised when he heard the price.

Because, in his previous life, this price was the price that only successful high-quality songs could get. It can be seen that the creators are very humble in the Chinese music scene in both worlds. Those star artists can get hundreds of dollars just by accepting variety show announcements. Tens of thousands or even millions. Every commercial show starts with a million dollars, but only tens of thousands of dollars are given to the creator...

Wang Cheng smiled slightly again and said to Zhang Hanwen: "Whenever you want to take it, just let me know in advance. As for how you handle it, it has nothing to do with me!"

 Zhang Hanwen hurriedly assured: "Wang Cheng, don't worry, we are brothers who perform together. I will never sell your works. I can only sing them myself, and I will not let down your expectations of me."

 This guy is almost here.

Wang Cheng said calmly: "I have no expectations from you."

Forehead!

Zhang Hanwen's tone paused, and then he quickly recovered, because he knew that this was Wang Cheng's character, and said: "I know. Let's not talk about this anymore. We just completed the recording of the new episode yesterday, and it may be worse than the last episode. I Now that I’m lying down, I’m just waiting for this season to end and I’ll go back to the company to prepare for my debut.”

“Your program will be aired tomorrow, and the ratings will definitely increase. I really envy Huang Bin and the others. Following you, they might be able to get into the top ranks. I don’t know how lucky they have accumulated over many lifetimes.”

Zhang Hanwen has been paying attention to the popularity of Wang Cheng, Huang Bin, and Mo Bailin in the past few days.

Seeing that Huang Bin has already passed the second-tier celebrity status, and with the release of Wang Cheng's new song and the broadcast of tomorrow's program, the speed at which they attract fans will increase. If this continues for two weeks, it is really possible for them to have over 10 million fans. !

That kid Huang Bin, how can he be so virtuous and capable?

ˆPreviously, the company’s highest expectation for Huang Bin was second-tier.

 What’s even more annoying is that Mo Bailin, who has worse potential than him, may surpass him in the future.

 The number of fans and popularity are the foundation of traffic stars, and they also provide the confidence for how much resources they can ask for from the company when they officially debut.

　　The company has strict standards for resource expenditure regarding the number of fans and celebrity status.

 You are a second-tier coffee player, and it is impossible to get first-line resources, because top-tier people can make more money by enjoying the resources. Giving you the same resources as a second-tier coffee player will not make that much money, so it is a waste.

If Huang Bin followed Wang Cheng and made his debut with tens of millions of fans, the resources he would enjoy during his debut would be far more than those of Zhang Hanwen and others. In the future, Huang Bin might become the second most popular figure in Dongxing Entertainment after Wang Cheng, and he would be the current one in the company. The two top players are stepping under their feet.

 Who can I talk to to explain this good luck?

 Zhang Hanwen and other structural teammates were really jealous and couldn't sleep well for several days.

Wang Cheng listened to Zhang Hanwen's remarks and felt that he had fulfilled his responsibility as a friend, and then said, "Is there anything else?"

 Zhang Hanwen was stunned for a moment: "It's okay..."

 Wang Cheng: “Goodbye!”

 After saying that, Wang Cheng hung up the phone, turned the phone on silent, picked up the book and continued reading.

 Zhang Hanwen on the other side looked at the phone in a daze for a while before reacting, and then he smiled bitterly...

 This is indeed very Wang Cheng.

Zhang Xiuhua next to him looked at Zhang Hanwen and asked curiously: "How is it? What did Wang Cheng say?"

 Zhang Hanwen shook his head: "He said that he didn't care how I dealt with it, he would only fulfill his promise to me."

Zhang Xiuhua nodded: "That's good. This way, other people in the company will not be able to take what belongs to you from Wang Cheng. Have you figured out how to make your debut? By then, I may become your full-time manager. Man, you can talk to me about your ideas now, and I have recently started to make a detailed plan for you."

 Zhang Hanwen: "How about asking Wang Cheng directly for a song and then releasing a single?"

Zhang Xiuhua thought for a while: "It would be too wasteful to release a single directly. It would be best to be like Wang Cheng and find a popular variety show to release new songs on stage. This will maximize the popularity! I will The company wants resources in this area, and since you are now a second-tier celebrity, and with the support of Wang Cheng Xinge, the company should agree."

 Zhang Hanwen nodded: "Okay, Sister Hua, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Zhang Xiuhua shook his head: "This is my job. The most important thing for you now is to maintain this relationship with Wang Cheng. According to my understanding, you are the only person who can say a few words to him. This may be Your biggest resource in the future.”

Forehead?

 The only person who can say a few words to Wang Cheng?

 Zhang Hanwen recalled it, and it seemed that this was really the case.

Whether it was his manager Zhang Xiuhua, the company's artist director Liu Jinfeng, or the program director and producer, Wang Cheng never gave him a good look, let alone a superfluous word. Ignore it!

 He is the only person who can chat with Wang Cheng.

Think about it, Zhang Hanwen is still a little proud, and his waist is straightened a little.

correct…

 How many sales have been made of Jingwumen?

 Zhang Hanwen then remembered that he had forgotten to ask Wang Cheng about the sales volume of his song. This was the only song he sang, and it was also very popular. It is now ranked eighth on the Penguin Music Monthly Chart. He has always paid attention to the sales volume.

 At the moment, he sent a message to Wang Cheng—Wang Cheng, send me the song sales!

 After a while, Wang Cheng sent him a complete screenshot of the backstage, not only the sales of Jingwumen, but also the sales of Wuha and Gecko Walk, which had just been released.

 When Zhang Hanwen saw these three numbers, he punched the sofa in anger!

 How irritating!

Huang Bin, the boy, and Mo Bailin, the son, hated Wang Cheng, and they were irreconcilable.

at the same time.

The follow-up recording of the Spring and Summer With You program went very smoothly, so the recording was completed quickly and everyone could take a break from get off work.

The program team immediately asked many people to play the newly downloaded Gecko Walk on their mobile phones.

When Wang Cheng and others were performing on the stage just now, they listened to it once and felt that they didn't have enough. They downloaded it immediately, but they didn't have time to play it.

Now after get off work, everyone has started playing, and the faces of every staff member are much more relaxed.

Seeing this situation, Wu Tong looked at Fang Xue Shu and said seriously: "This song is going to be a hit!"

Fang Xue Shu nodded: "I think so. Ask your acquaintances to see how many sales there are now."

Wu Tong picked up his phone and sent a message to an acquaintance at Penguin Music.

 Within a minute, the other party responded to the message.

The two of them looked at each other, and their eyes widened immediately.
