This star doesn’t work overtime

Don’t wait for the other party to speak!

Guo Shouxin hurriedly took the report from the other party's hand and quickly lowered his head to read it.

Liu Jiahui also immediately stood up and came closer, looking at the report, directly looking at the data in the last time period.

They have already seen the previous data, and the trend is basically the same as before, but the overall trend has improved...

Therefore, the surprises they are looking forward to are all in the last time period when Wang Cheng appears. The highest ratings will basically depend on Wang Cheng.

Just seeing the straight line rising from Wang Cheng's appearance, the two of them relaxed and smiled on their faces.

Then!

Just look at those numbers carefully.

The staff also reported excitedly and quickly: "Director Guo, Producer Liu. Unexpectedly, our ratings reached 4.1 last time, and there was a big improvement this time! Wang Cheng's performance is indeed too great. It’s wonderful, the peak ratings reached 4.3, it’s amazing!”

"Before Wang Cheng appeared, the ratings were already 2.7. Wang Cheng once again raised the ratings by 1.6!"

"Our average ratings for this episode have also reached 2.8, which is very close to the average of 3.0..."

Guo Shouxin and Liu Jiahui also saw the detailed data and ratings trends above, their smiles became even brighter, and they casually placed the report on the table.

Neither of them expected that the highest ratings of this issue would actually increase by a full 0.2 compared to the previous issue. This is definitely a huge improvement for the ratings of above 4.0.

Although, last week's ratings have shown that their stage has not reached its limit yet, giving them higher expectations.

However, their expectations for the ratings for this episode are only to increase by 0.1, and that is already a very optimistic estimate.

Unexpectedly, the reality was even higher than their most optimistic expectations!

This is definitely a big surprise.

If word spreads, it will definitely shock the industry again!

"Hahaha!"

Guo Shouxin laughed.

Liu Jiahui also had a smile on his face.

The staff continued: "Now, the entire Internet has exploded. The top five hot topics on several major social platforms are basically all our program team and contestants! Wang Cheng dominates the three major social platforms and the three major short videos The video of him performing nunchucks is at the top of the popular list on the platform and has completely dominated the screen and can be seen on all video websites.”

"The title of the work he sang is Nunchuck, which is also the second most popular topic on Weibo..."

"However, in the end, he avoided the topic of the interaction between the two girl groups Pink Era and Flame Youth, which was also very popular. He was ranked third! The video was also edited everywhere..."

The two of them were looking at the ratings data happily.

Tuk tuk…

There was a knock on the door.

The staff stopped reporting and turned to leave.

Guo Shouxin and Liu Jiahui also stopped smiling. The door to the room opened and several figures walked in.

This time, Zhang Huizhong, Li Guang and other colleagues did not come, but Zhang Yupeng, Shen Shenghui and Yu Jinghong, the top executives of two major companies, came.

Zhang Yupeng smiled when he came in: "I heard Director Guo's laughter from a distance. The ratings must be surprising, right? How many are they? Can I know?"

Shen Shenghui said nothing behind him.

Yu Jinghong smiled and said: "Director Guo, are the data out?"

Guo Shouxin nodded, smiled and handed the report directly to Yu Jinghong, and said to Zhang Yupeng: "Of course Mr. Zhang knows, we have a close cooperative relationship now!"

Rubik's Cube Entertainment acquired Dongxing Entertainment and became Wang Cheng's agency, which naturally led to a cooperative relationship with the idols of tomorrow, and there may be cooperation every year in the future.

Because Rubik's Cube Entertainment has also obtained a small amount of shares in two major program groups, Eastern Star and Spring and Summer With You, it can send trainees to participate in the talent show every year to compete for the chance to be on the idol stage of tomorrow.

With the resources of Rubik's Cube Entertainment as a giant in the industry, the quality of its trainees should not be bad. Maybe every year a team of its trainees will appear on the stage of tomorrow's idols, and they will suddenly take the initiative in the traffic era.

Therefore, the cooperative relationship between the two parties is indeed much closer.

When Yu Jinghong saw the highest number of 4.3, her pupils froze slightly and she was shocked. Then she handed the report to Zhang Yupeng and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, take a look. Wang Cheng is responsible for everything."

Zhang Yupeng took it over and looked at it with Shen Shenghui. The two of them took a closer look and were naturally shocked. They did not expect that this issue of Tomorrow's Idol could actually increase the ratings by a full 0.2 points.

The ratings have reached above 4.0. Every improvement is extremely difficult, and the benefits brought by the improvement are naturally relatively equal, which is enough to make people greedy.

The benefits generated by this issue of Tomorrow’s Idol will definitely be more amazing than the previous issue.

If such ratings can continue for the next few episodes until the finale...

Then the revenue generated by Tomorrow’s Idol this year may break the annual revenue record of variety shows!

Zhang Yupeng was thinking in his mind, looking at the ratings report, he laughed and said: "It is Director Guo who is known as China's number one variety show director, and his best partner, Producer Liu. When these ratings are released, many people will definitely be surprised." Shocked and admired...amazing..."

Zhang Yupeng gave a thumbs up to Guo Shouxin and Liu Jiahui.

Guo Shouxin hurriedly said humbly: "Mr. Zhang is too harsh. I am definitely not the number one variety show director. We just did our job. The performances of the contestants were so wonderful! Especially Wang Cheng, absolutely." He is the biggest contributor..."

Liu Jiahui said with a smile: "Yes, Wang Cheng, Wen Yixiao, and Du Wei are the biggest surprises in the entertainment industry this year. Their performances are really wonderful, which will naturally increase the ratings!"

Yu Jinghong nodded to Liu Jiahui and recognized Liu Jiahui's words. At this time, it was natural to bring artists from her own company. She could not promote the artists from the other company too much, otherwise the other party would take the initiative and be at a disadvantage.

"Oh? Wang Cheng is the biggest contributor...but the treatment Wang Cheng received is too insignificant compared to the achievements he created, isn't it?"

Shen Shenghui looked at Guo Shouxin and Liu Jiahui and said with a smile.

The atmosphere in the office suddenly became cold.

Guo Shouxin and Liu Jiahui suppressed the smiles on their faces at the same time. Yu Jinghong sat down calmly and watched this scene, thinking about how the company should respond.

All three of them knew that the Rubik's Cube Entertainment for the two of them was coming with bad intentions this time!

But……

They also know that they are at an absolute disadvantage.

because!

Wang Cheng is an artist owned by the other party.

And Wang Cheng is too important to them.

Guo Shouxin remained silent and did not interfere in these matters. He was only responsible for program production.

Liu Jiahui looked at Zhang Yupeng, who was still smiling, and smiled again: "Mr. Zhang, Director Shen, and Wang Cheng's salary is already ten times that of other trainees. Wen Yixiao's salary is only a hundred thousand per game... …”

Shen Shenghui looked at Liu Jiahui and said: "Oh? Producer Liu, everyone gets less, is this right? The program team and the TV station make so much, but give a little to the contestants. Is this something to be proud of? "

At this time, Liu Jiahui was speechless.

Because he couldn't refute what the other party said!

In previous years, only nominal performance fees were given to the contestants, which was the default unspoken rule of all participating companies. Penguin Entertainment is naturally happy to save production costs and has acquiesced in this unspoken rule. The trainees participating in the performance are all newcomers who have just debuted, so they can't object or resist. They are very happy to get the opportunity to be exposed in the performance, and they don't care how much they can get. Money, since they are all newcomers anyway, the price itself is very low.

However, since it is an unspoken rule, it cannot be stated explicitly.

Otherwise, wouldn’t it be obvious exploitation of child labor?

Just like the Spring Festival Gala, they will not publicize the fact that they only paid tens of thousands of yuan in performance fees to super celebrities. Big names who have received tens of thousands of yuan in performance fees will not go around saying that they have suffered a loss. Instead, they will thank the Spring Festival Gala. The program team gave them the opportunity to perform.

However, this year's Wang Cheng is different from the newcomers who became Idol of Tomorrow in previous years!

Because when Wang Cheng stepped on the stage of tomorrow's idols, he was already a super first-line celebrity.

The price given to Wang Cheng seemed too low.

Liu Jiahui looked at Shen Shenghui, frowned and said, "What does Director Shen want to say?"

Shen Shenghui looked at Liu Jiahui, then at Yu Jinghong, and said: "Just in time, Mr. Yu is here today. On behalf of Rubik's Cube Entertainment, which is Wang Cheng's agency, I would like to make a request for you to improve your treatment! The treatment you give , completely unworthy of Wang Cheng’s popularity and performance level.”

"I think everyone knows this."

Yu Jinghong said calmly: "This matter is not my business!"

Liu Jiahui looked at Shen Shenghui and said seriously: "We previously signed a performance contract for a whole season."

Shen Shenghui nodded: "I read the contract, and the contract price for the entire season is only 20 million. Do you know how much Wang Cheng's advertising fee was for the spring and summer program group? The advertising fee for one performance is already 800 How can I give you only 20 million for the entire season? Therefore, I suspect that you have a secret deal with Liu Jinfeng of Dongxing Entertainment, so you signed this contract that is seriously inconsistent with Wang Cheng’s market price. This contract we I won’t admit it!”

call……

Liu Jiahui and Guo Shouxin both took a deep breath at the same time, feeling annoyed in their hearts. They did not expect that Shen Shenghui would fall out like this and refuse to acknowledge the performance contract!

Yu Jinghong's sitting figure froze for a moment, and she looked deeply at Zhang Yupeng and Shen Shenghui.

She had reminded the company's top management before that Penguin Entertainment's strategic development now relies heavily on Wang Cheng's performance, and they must ensure that Wang Cheng is in their hands, otherwise they may be manipulated by the company behind Wang Cheng...

Tomorrow's Idol relies on Wang Chengcai to raise the ratings to above 4.0, creating the highest ratings in ten years.

Penguin Video relied on Tomorrow’s Idol to open up markets in other Southeast Asian countries.

Penguin Music relied on Wang Cheng's songs sung on Tomorrow's Idol to break the deadlock in the online music market that had lasted for several years and once again increased its market share!

Once Wang Cheng and Tomorrow’s Idol terminate their cooperation with Penguin Entertainment!

That will be a big blow to Penguin Entertainment’s current good development momentum...

It is absolutely impossible for Tomorrow Idol to maintain such amazing ratings, so the market that has just been opened in Southeast Asia may not be able to continue to expand.

Penguin Music does not have Wang Cheng’s explosive works, and may not be able to continue to squeeze the other two major platforms...

And these were just her previous doubts and worries.

But she didn't expect it.

Now it's really happening, and it's happening so fast.

It conforms to that wonderful law - whatever you worry about, then something will definitely happen.

Rubik's Cube Entertainment had just acquired Dongxing Entertainment, and the day after they got hold of Wang Cheng's management contract, they came directly to use Wang Cheng to intimidate the Tomorrow Idol program team, and then threaten the entire Penguin Entertainment Group!

Yu Jinghong took a deep breath. She knew that neither Liu Jiahui nor she, the vice president, might be qualified to take care of this matter and had to report it to the president Lei Zhenzong.

The room fell silent.

A few seconds later.

Liu Jiahui looked at Shen Shenghui and said, "Director Shen, what you are doing is unethical, isn't it?"

Shen Shenghui asked, "Oh? Are you being honest? Wang Cheng gave you a record-breaking rating of 4.3. How much did you give him? If he can't get what he deserves, why should he continue to succeed here?"

Liu Jiahui took a deep breath and had nothing to say, so he could only ask: "Director Shen, what do you want?"

Guo Shouxin and Yu Jinghong both watched in silence, with heavy hearts.

Zhang Yupeng looked relaxed, as if he were a spectator.

A smile overflowed on Shen Shenghui's face and he said, "We just want what we deserve!"

Liu Jiahui: "Then what does Director Shen think you deserve?"

Shen Shenghui nodded: "It's very simple! Wang Cheng is a superstar. His current number of fans is 67 million, and will soon exceed 70 million. He is not at the bottom among the countless superstars now. If you want a job that can The reward that matches his status is not excessive, right? Secondly, we, Rubik’s Cube Entertainment, want to invest in the idols of tomorrow!"

"impossible!"

"This is impossible……"

After hearing the final conditions, Liu Jiahui and Guo Shouxin both refused.

Yu Jinghong also shook her head firmly, indicating that this was impossible.

Give money.

They can consider that the current income of the program team is exaggerated anyway. It doesn't matter if they give Wang Cheng a super contract. As long as they can continue the remaining performances, they can earn more.

but!

Rubik's Cube Entertainment actually wants to invest in Tomorrow's Idol, which is impossible for them to agree to.

Moreover, Penguin Entertainment is unlikely to agree.

Yu Jinghong finally said: "Director Shen, this is impossible. One Wang Cheng is not enough for the head office to give up the shares of tomorrow's idol."

Liu Jiahui also said with certainty: "Yes, shares are impossible. The announced price can be negotiated, and it is not impossible to give Wang Cheng a contract that matches his popularity..."

Shen Shenghui smiled and said: "Then we are exactly the opposite. We can accept a reduction in Wang Cheng's contract price. Even if it does not change, we can continue to implement the current contract. We can also agree. However, we must get a part of the shares of tomorrow's idols. Our requirements are not high, any number of shares is fine, even 1% is fine, and we will acquire it at market price."

The office became quiet again.

Shen Shenghui and Zhang Yupeng both know that Liu Jiahui, Guo Shouxin, and Yu Jinghong are not qualified to decide the ownership of the shares of tomorrow's idols, so it is impossible to get an answer today, and they may not even get an answer in a short time.

Therefore, after Shen Shenghui finished speaking, the two stood up and left.

Zhang Yupeng said: "Mr. Yu, Director Guo, and Producer Liu, let's take our leave now. Our company's requirements are very simple. I hope you will go back and discuss it carefully. We are not trying to rob anything, we just want to establish a deeper relationship with Penguin Entertainment. Strategic partnership..."

Liu Jiahui: "You two, walk slowly!"

Guo Shouxin and Yu Jinghong didn't say anything, they just watched them leave.

In the several years since Tomorrow Idol was founded, apart from giving up a small share of its shares in order to win over several companies to act together, Penguin Entertainment has not given up any more shares in the following years and has firmly grasped the situation in its hands. Shares, control the entire program group, and become one of the traffic sources of Penguin Entertainment!

In the past few years, several other major giants have proposed to Penguin Entertainment more than once to invest in Tomorrow Idol and obtain a small share of the shares, but Penguin Entertainment rejected them all.

Even if a small share is given up, it will not affect Penguin Entertainment’s absolute control.

However, Penguin Entertainment, which has already established a firm foothold and occupies the majority of the traffic era, will naturally not give up any more profits and will not give a few giants a chance to threaten itself!

But……

Now Rubik's Cube Entertainment has seized a rare opportunity, making them uncomfortable.

After Zhang Yupeng and Shen Shenghui leave!

There is still silence in the office!

The joy of another breakthrough in ratings has completely dissipated.

Guo Shouxin and Liu Jiahui both took out their cigarettes and started smoking them at the same time, frowning.

Yu Jinghong watched the two people smoking, frowned slightly, and said softly: "This matter can only be reported to the head office."

Guo Shouxin vented and said, "Isn't this too much for them?"

Liu Jiahui shook his head: "Who said we signed a contract with Dongxing Entertainment before? The contract price is indeed far lower than the market price. Now they have turned their backs and there is nothing we can do... I'll give Mr. Lei a call!"

With that said, Liu Jiahui took out his phone and called Lei Zhenzong.

The call was answered quickly.

Lei Zhenzong was also waiting for the ratings report on Tomorrow's Idol in the office. When he received Liu Jiahui's call, he smiled and said: "Xiao Liu, have the ratings come out? How are they?"

Liu Jiahui forced a smile: "Haha, it's not bad, the highest is 4.3, the average is 2.8, which is an improvement from last week."

Lei Zhenzong also laughed.

Now Idol of Tomorrow can be said to be the core of Penguin Entertainment's development. It is now the largest source of traffic in the company and the core driving force for the advancement of the entire group.

"Okay! I also watched the live broadcast. The performance was indeed wonderful, especially Wang Cheng's performance. I really can't believe he is only nineteen years old..."

Lei Zhenzong's tone contained admiration and a hint of regret.

I regret not being able to buy Wang Cheng into my own company.

Liu Jiahui said without any nonsense, "Mr. Lei, Zhang Yupeng and Shen Shenghui from Rubik's Cube Entertainment came to see us just now."

Lei Zhenzong's smile also faded: "I know Qin Yuhai is in your program group, do they have something to do with you?"

Liu Jiahui: "Well, something happened! They said that they do not recognize the contract we signed with Dongxing Entertainment before, and they want to renegotiate Wang Cheng's performance contract, and they want a contract that matches Wang Cheng's current status and popularity!"

Want money?

Lei Zhenzong relaxed a little and said seriously: "They acquired Dongxing Entertainment, so they naturally have to bear the contract of Dongxing Entertainment. If they breach the contract, they will be liable for the breach of contract."

Of course he couldn't agree immediately.

However, after he finished speaking, he looked a little helpless.

Because he also knows the contract status of tomorrow's idols and trainees from various companies.

What is given is a symbolic performance fee, so the liability for breach of contract is naturally not high, it is just a return of the performance fee!

This is considering that some trainees quit midway due to unexpected factors, and the company behind them is also a cooperative company. It is impossible to ask for a large amount of liquidated damages, and they will have to cooperate for a long time in the future, so the liability for breach of contract is not high!

Therefore, if Rubik's Cube Entertainment breaches the contract, Wang Cheng's performance contract only requires compensation of 20 million in liquidated damages.

Compared with the income Wang Cheng brought to the program team and Penguin Entertainment, it is simply not worth mentioning!

Therefore, Lei Zhenzong was silent for a moment and then said: "You can consider it as appropriate."

Liu Jiahui added: "That's not all. On behalf of Rubik's Cube Entertainment, Shen Shenghui also proposed that they want to invest in the idols of tomorrow!"

Lei Zhenzong said quickly and firmly: "This is impossible!"

Liu Jiahui: "That's what I said too..."

Lei Zhenzong: "What did they say?"

Liu Jiahui: "They said that as long as 1% of the shares are fine, they will buy it according to the market price. I think they just want a ticket. I said this is impossible. Then, they left."

Lei Zhenzong was silent for a moment.

He didn't want to give away this one percent share.

Rubik's Cube Entertainment is different from the small and medium-sized companies it has cooperated with before. It is an established entertainment giant, and its influence and strength are not comparable to those small and medium-sized companies.

Let Rubik's Cube Entertainment take a stake in Tomorrow's Idol, even if it's only 1% of the shares, it can be regarded as having a little say, and its influence on the program team is greater than other small and medium-sized companies combined.

Lei Zhenzong: "No! Now is the time when Wang Cheng is most popular. They must be concerned about Wang Cheng's feelings and market reaction."

Liu Jiahui smiled bitterly and said: "I hope so too. However, we are not sure what Wang Cheng himself thinks!"

Lei Zhenzong: "He is so popular right now and his followers are rising the fastest. He definitely doesn't want to leave, right?"

After hearing this, Liu Jiahui could be sure that Lei Zhenzong did not know Wang Cheng in detail, which was inferior to Qin Yuhai of Rubik's Cube Entertainment.

Of course, he also knows that as the president of Penguin Entertainment, Lei Zhenzong is very busy with many things every day, even busier than Qin Yuhai. It is natural that he does not have so much time to understand a celebrity artist in detail!

No matter how popular or big-name a celebrity artist is, in the eyes of capital, he is just a celebrity artist. He is just a tool for capital to make money. He will not take it too seriously and will not treat him equally.

Liu Jiahui explained and said: "Other celebrity artists may be like Mr. Lei said, reluctant to leave the current idol of tomorrow and reluctant to bear such exposure. But, Wang Cheng, he may not care about this!"

Lei Zhenzong was surprised: "He doesn't care about this? Then what does he care about?"

Liu Jiahui smiled bitterly: "This is the question that all of us want to know the answer to. What does Wang Cheng want? I think Mr. Qin of Rubik's Cube Entertainment is eager to know now. Each of us also wants to know, but no one Know the answer!”

Guo Shouxin and Yu Jinghong next to them both smiled helplessly after hearing this. They really had no choice about Wang Cheng and had no idea what the nineteen-year-old boy wanted.

Lei Zhenzong also said a little helplessly: "Then if they break the contract and take away Wang Cheng, what will happen to the program team? Can Wen Yixiao support it?"

Lei Zhenzong began to envision the worst outcome.

Liu Jiahui shook his head: "Wen Yixiao should be able to support a ratings of about 3.3 to 3.5 at most. This is with Du Wei and other good trainees. At the beginning, Wen Yixiao had another powerful female at Xiangnan Satellite TV. Together with trainee Zhu Ziqi, the ratings have just reached 3.0!"

"Zhu Ziqi's strength is almost as strong as Du Wei's, and the resources of tomorrow's idols are more abundant. I estimate optimistically. Without Wang Cheng, our ratings can reach up to 3.5!"

"However, this is based on the prime time live broadcast at 8 pm. If the current live broadcast at 5 pm is used as a reference, then our highest ratings may be around 2.5 to 3.0!"

Liu Jiahui's words made Lei Zhenzong on the opposite side fall silent again.

Two seconds later, Lei Zhenzong said: "Let's see what they do first, and then we will think of countermeasures. It is impossible to sell the shares of Tomorrow's Idol. Use money to solve the problem as much as possible!"

Liu Jiahui nodded: "Okay, Mr. Lei, I will report to you if there is any situation."

Lei Zhenzong: "Okay!"

hang up the phone!

Liu Jiahui's face was full of helplessness and sorrow, while Guo Shouxin smoked his cigarette vigorously.

Yu Jinghong's phone suddenly rang. She picked it up and saw that it was indeed Lei Zhenzong. She answered the call immediately: "Mr. Lei, I'm also here with Director Guo and Producer Liu."

Lei Zhenzong: "Well, Jinghong, I regret it..."

Yu Jinghong was silent. She knew what Lei Zhenzong meant, but it was useless to say more at this time.

Lei Zhenzong sighed: "If Wang Cheng were our artist now, this kind of thing wouldn't happen! Hey... I should have supported you with all my strength back then..."

Yu Jinghong also smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Lei, there is no point in talking about this now."

Lei Zhenzong said quickly: "Of course it makes sense. You said, if we are now offering five billion to buy only Wang Cheng's contract, will Qin Yuhai sell it? Or, persuade Wang Cheng to breach the contract personally, and we will pay the liquidated damages, and then Agree to any of his conditions..."

Yu Jing was stunned for a moment, then shook her head slightly and said: "Wang Cheng's side is impossible, he will not breach the contract. As for whether Qin Yuhai will agree to let Wang Cheng go, it depends on whether they can persuade Wang Cheng to renew the contract. ! If Wang Cheng cannot renew the contract, then he will lose money on this investment. Because Wang Cheng cannot help him earn back the money within two years, and when Wang Cheng leaves, he will lose blood! "

"So, if we purchase Wang Cheng's contract at a high price at this time, he may take action... He can buy Dongxing Entertainment except Wang Cheng for 200 million, which can be regarded as a hugely profitable investment."

The previous Dongxing Entertainment was worth five to six billion. Even if Wang Cheng is not added at this time, Huang Bin, Mo Bailin, Ma Yunfei and many other first-tier players, as well as Zhang Hanwen, the second-tier player, the value will not be less than one billion. , you can buy it with only 200 million, it is definitely a very profitable investment!

Lei Zhenzong immediately said: "Then you should contact Qin Yuhai on behalf of the company and see if you can buy Wang Cheng back!"

Yu Jinghong asked doubtfully: "Mr. Lei, don't we need to hold a meeting to make a decision? I think other directors may have opinions."

Lei Zhenzong said in a deep voice: "If they have any opinions, they will keep it. It was their opinions that made us miss Wang Cheng last time, and they are so passive now. Rubik's Cube Entertainment just bought Wang Cheng, and they came to threaten us the next day. Then won’t we always be threatened by them from now on?”

"So, this time, I will give you a maximum budget of 5.5 billion, as long as you can buy Wang Cheng back. When they have any objections, I will bear them."

A hint of helplessness flashed in Yu Jinghong's eyes, thinking that if Lei Zhenzong had given her such support last week, Wang Cheng would be an artist under Penguin Entertainment now.

However, it may not be too late.

As long as he could buy Wang Cheng, it was enough. Yu Jinghong didn't even notice anyone else in Dongxing Entertainment.

Therefore, Yu Jinghong agreed: "Okay, Mr. Lei, I will go see Mr. Qin right away."

Put down the phone!

Guo Shouxin and Liu Jiahui both looked at Yu Jinghong at the same time.

Liu Jiahui immediately asked: "Mr. Yu, what did Mr. Lei say?"

Guo Shouxin guessed: "Mr. Lei wants to buy Wang Cheng's contract?"

Yu Jinghong didn't hide anything and nodded: "Well, Mr. Lei has given me full responsibility to talk to Mr. Qin from Rubik's Cube Entertainment to see if we can buy Wang Cheng's contract!"

She did not tell the two of them a specific budget range, fearing that word would get out.

However, the two were overjoyed to hear the news.

Although, the last acquisition of Dongxing Entertainment failed.

However, they now believe that if Lei Zhenzong asks Yu Jinghong to take action again, he will definitely increase his budget and determination, and there is a great chance to buy Wang Cheng back. Then they will continue to cooperate with Wang Cheng smoothly.

Liu Jiahui: "It would be great if I could buy back Wang Cheng's contract!"

Guo Shouxin also nodded, but he was not very optimistic about it.

Yu Jinghong stood up and said goodbye: "Without further delay, Mr. Qin happens to be here. I will go see him now."

Liu Jiahui also walked out: "I will also go to Wang Cheng and urge him to upload new songs as soon as possible, otherwise Lao Huang will call us again later."

Guo Shouxin went to the program group to get busy. Today's performance ended successfully, and he has to start arranging next week's performance.

However, when I think about the high ratings this week, Wang Cheng still doesn't know if he can continue to perform next week...

Guo Shouxin's mood became extremely heavy.

After experiencing such high ratings, Guo Shouxin has no interest in ratings below 4.0.

Liu Jiahui went around the cafeteria but didn't see Wang Cheng. He asked a few trainees and found out that Wang Cheng had gone back to his dormitory, so he immediately walked towards Wang Cheng's dormitory.

Yu Jinghong went to Qin Yuhai's lounge and looked around, but couldn't find anyone. She asked the staff and was told that Qin Yuhai had gone to find Wang Cheng and also walked towards Wang Cheng's dormitory!

Liu Jiahui and Yu Jinghong met at the door of Wang Cheng's dormitory again. When they saw Zhang Yupeng and Shen Shenghui guarding the door, they knew that Qin Yuhai must be inside.

Yu Jinghong nodded to Zhang Yupeng and said, "I have something to discuss with Mr. Qin."

Zhang Yupeng did not stop him and said with a smile: "Mr. Qin just went in."

Yu Jinghong knocked on the door gently.

Then, Wang Cheng's calm voice came from inside: "Come in!"

Yu Jinghong walked in, and Liu Jiahui thought about it and followed her in!

The scene in the room surprised both of them slightly.

I saw Wang Cheng sitting calmly on the chair in front of the table as usual, holding a book in his hand, as if he didn't see Qin Yuhai sitting opposite and Qin Mo standing opposite.

Qin Yuhai also looked calm and showed no anger. He sat in front of Wang Cheng and looked at Wang Cheng.

See Yu Jinghong and Liu Jiahui walking in.

Wang Cheng glanced at the two of them and continued reading without speaking.

Qin Yuhai smiled and said: "Mr. Yu and Producer Liu are here too. Is there something wrong? Otherwise, you can come in and talk after I finish talking to Wang Cheng."

Yu Jinghong shook her head and said, "Mr. Qin, I have something to ask you about. It's about Wang Cheng."

Qin Yuhai glanced at Wang Cheng, and then said to Yu Jinghong: "Mr. Yu can say it now!"

Yu Jing was stunned and glanced at Wang Cheng. Unexpectedly, Qin Yuhai didn't care about Wang Cheng at all, so she was willing to say it in front of Wang Cheng, which showed that Penguin Entertainment valued Wang Cheng. She was not polite at the moment He opened his mouth and said: "Mr. Qin, I discussed with Mr. Lei and your company offered five billion to buy Wang Cheng's contract from your Rubik's Cube Entertainment!"

As soon as these words came out, the room became even quieter.

Liu Jiahui's eyes widened, and his breathing slowed down for a moment. He never expected that Lei Zhenzong would be so generous this time, offering 5 billion to buy only Wang Cheng's contract, which was the same price he had previously given for the entire Dongxing Entertainment. Same!

This is definitely the highest single contract price ever in the Chinese entertainment industry!

The combined prices of several other super giants, even two or three super giants, cannot be so exaggerated.

Qin Yuhai's body stiffened for a moment after hearing this, and his heart was indeed very moved...

Because Wang Cheng really has no intention of renewing the contract now.

In the remaining less than two years, he felt that it was impossible to make back 5 billion by relying on Wang Cheng. Even the entire Rubik's Cube Entertainment might not be able to make 5 billion in profit in two years!

When Wang Cheng's contract expires and he leaves, his investment will be in vain...

However, if Wang Cheng's contract is sold now for 5 billion, and other high-quality assets of Dongxing Entertainment can be retained, then he will make a lot of money from this investment.

Feeling moved in his heart, Qin Yuhai looked at Wang Cheng who was sitting across from him again. He saw that Wang Cheng was still reading a book and did not look at himself, Yu Jinghong and others. When he heard about the five billion purchase contract, his expression did not change at all. He seemed to have no emotion. Hearing the same thing, it can be seen that his concentration is absolutely extraordinary, and it is not at all the concentration that a nineteen-year-old boy should have.

This boy is definitely extraordinary.

Qin Yuhai still has a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that he can persuade Wang Cheng to renew his contract within the next two years. Then Wang Cheng's long-term value in the future cannot be measured by 5 billion.

Moreover, he immediately thought that this was still an opportunity to win over Wang Cheng, and immediately shook his head firmly to Yu Jinghong and said: "Wang Cheng is not for sale in our company. I regard him as my partner and will not sell him. You don't have to." Moreover."

Qin Mo, who was standing behind, held his breath just like Liu Jiahui. He was shocked by the number and admired the courage of his uncle Qin Yuhai. He could refuse five billion!

However, she admired the other person even more who had been reading calmly, as if the two parties were discussing something other than Wang Cheng.

Yu Jinghong looked at Qin Yuhai and said directly again: "Fifty-two billion! Mr. Qin, this is the price you paid for Dongxing Entertainment. We will return the money to you now. You only need to pay Wang Cheng's contract, which is equivalent to You got Dongxing Entertainment for free, ten first-tier players, a few second-tier players, and a group of high-quality trainees! This is definitely a hugely profitable investment for you."

Qin Yuhai hesitated again.

This price is really exciting.

Just two days after buying it, he resold it and then sold it to Wang Cheng. He got back all the investment and got other high-quality assets of Dongxing Entertainment for nothing. This is definitely a textbook investment operation in the industry.

However, Qin Yuhai looked at Wang Cheng and said firmly again: "Mr. Yu, I said it, no need to say it again, I am very optimistic about Wang Cheng and I want to cooperate with Wang Cheng for a long time!"

Yu Jinghong did not give up and continued: "Fifty-three billion! Mr. Qin, you got Dongxing Entertainment for nothing, and you can still earn 100 million in cash!"

call……

Liu Jiahui and Qin Mo took deep breaths at the same time to calm down the excitement in their hearts.

When these two giants compete, the numbers are often in the billions.

Really exciting.

But the center of the confrontation between the two giants was still sitting there calmly reading a book.

Wow...

There was a crisp sound of turning a book.

Wang Cheng also turned the pages of the book gently and looked at the words on the pages carefully.

Qin Yuhai and Yu Jinghong looked at Wang Cheng at the same time and were a little disappointed when they found that Wang Cheng was just flipping through the book without looking at them.

Both of them have their own thoughts.

Yu Jinghong wanted to show that Penguin Entertainment valued Wang Cheng through her constant bidding.

Qin Yuhai also wanted to show his importance to Wang Cheng by constantly rejecting high prices, and wanted to use it as a bargaining chip to persuade Wang Cheng to renew the contract in the future.

Qin Yuhai, who had made up his mind, continued to execute the plan and shook his head again: "Fifty-three billion is impossible. Wang Cheng is my partner and not a commodity that can be bought and sold. I will not sell it."

Yu Jinghong also took a deep breath and said directly: "Fifty-four billion! Mr. Qin, you made 200 million in cash and a company for nothing."

Qin Yuhai shook his head: "It's the same thing, Wang Cheng is not a commodity, he is my friend and my partner!"

While saying that, Qin Yuhai deliberately asked Wang Chengwei: "Wang Cheng, what do you think?"

Wang Cheng did not answer him, nor did he look at him. He continued to read the words in the book in his hand.

A trace of embarrassment and helplessness flashed in Qin Yuhai's eyes. Seeing that Wang Cheng still ignored him, he felt the urge to sell Wang Cheng and cash out.

But……

He still held back!

He had watched Wang Cheng perform live today, so he knew more clearly how huge potential and benefits Wang Cheng contained.

That wonderful and crazy performance is the only one in the world.

He wants to take a gamble!

Bet that Wang Cheng can renew his contract within two years...

If you win the bet, you can make a lot of money in the next 20 to 30 years, starting at least tens of billions.

If he loses the bet, he will lose at least three to four billion, which he can barely bear.

Yu Jinghong looked at Wang Cheng and explained: "Wang Cheng, we are not treating you as a commodity. I just want you to go to Penguin Entertainment. We will give you more respect and freedom and will not interfere with your freedom to appear on the show!"

She didn't care about Wang Cheng's disregard. After explaining, she said to Qin Yuhai: "Mr. Qin, 5.5 billion, this price is already beyond our bottom line. It is the bid I gave you privately. But don't worry, as long as you agree , I guarantee you can get the money!"

"You earned 300 million in cash and Dongxing Entertainment for nothing."

Fifty-five billion!

At this moment, Qin Yuhai's heart moved again...

As soon as it changed hands, in two days, 300 million in cash was made in vain. In addition, Dongxing Entertainment without Wang Cheng could make at least 1.5 billion in total...

call……

Qin Yuhai's breathing became heavy, then he stared at Wang Cheng and said firmly: "Impossible, I still say what I said, Wang Cheng is my partner, not a commodity that can be traded."

Yu Jinghong was silent for a moment.

Because, 5.5 billion is already the bottom line price Lei Zhenzong gave her.

She hesitated for a moment, then made a real decision in private, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Qin, my last offer is a fixed price of 6 billion! If you agree, you can go to the Penguin Entertainment Group headquarters to sign the deal today..."

Yu Jinghong wanted to defeat Qin Yuhai's psychological defense at once, so she secretly improved it so much.

Huhuhu...

Liu Jiahui took a few quick breaths to relieve his nervousness.

Qin Mo also widened his eyes and opened his mouth slightly.

This price really shocked both of them!

Six billion, just to buy one person's contract, and it's only a two-year contract.

If I say this, no one in the entire entertainment industry would dare to believe it.

Qin Yuhai clenched his hands into fists and stimulated himself hard with the nails of his thumbs, letting the pain stimulate his nerves. Don't lose his mind. He still shook his head and said in a deep voice: "It's impossible..."

He stared at Wang Cheng, wanting to let Wang Cheng know how much he had given up for him.

But.

Wang Cheng was still just reading the book, not looking at him or Yu Jinghong. It seemed that the confrontation between the two sides had nothing to do with him.

Yu Jinghong's heart sank, knowing that even 6 billion couldn't buy Wang Cheng. Qin Yuhai's determination was beyond her imagination. It might be difficult to buy Wang Cheng in the future. She showed a reluctant smile: "Mr. Qin is so determined. , What a courage, I admire you!”

Qin Yuhai also grinned reluctantly: "Mr. Yu is also very courageous and is actually willing to bet on his career. If Mr. Yu is willing to buy our Rubik's Cube job, I can give you the position of vice president..."

Yu Jinghong shook her head: "I am the vice president now! In that case, I'll take my leave first."

She looked at Wang Cheng and said: "Wang Cheng, our Penguin Entertainment will always open the door to you. As long as you ask, we will meet any conditions. Any conditions are acceptable..."

Yu Jinghong emphasized the word "any conditions", and then seeing that Wang Cheng still had no response, she sighed in her heart, nodded to Qin Yuhai, and left. She needed to quickly report to Lei Zhenzong what happened here. I don't know. Will I be punished if I raise the price to 6 billion privately?

Liu Jiahui did not leave with Yu Jinghong, he looked at Qin Yuhai and smiled reluctantly, and then said to Wang Cheng in front of Qin Yuhai: "Wang Cheng, don't forget to upload the new song, tens of millions of fans are waiting for it! "

Wang Cheng's eyebrows twitched and he replied with one word: "Yeah!"

Then, in front of Liu Jiahui, Wang Cheng picked up his mobile phone and boarded the Penguin Music backstage, and uploaded the studio version of Nunchaku stored in his mobile phone.

Liu Jiahui breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Then I'll say goodbye first!"

After speaking, Liu Jiahui nodded to Wang Cheng and then to Qin Yuhai, then turned and left. He felt very shocked by the confrontation between Yu Jinghong and Qin Yuhai just now.

He knew that even if he told what happened just now, no one would believe it. This would shatter the views of many people, even veterans in the industry like Guo Shouxin.

At the same time, Liu Jiahui couldn't understand the operation of the Penguin Entertainment headquarters above...

Now that you have the courage to spend 5.5 billion or even 6 billion to buy Wang Cheng alone...

What were you doing that morning?

When you bid for Dongxing Entertainment with Rubik's Cube Entertainment two days ago, why didn't you raise the price?

I already had the courage to spend 6 billion, now I don’t have to be so passive!

Liu Jiahui shook his head, feeling dissatisfied, but he did not dare to express it to the company's senior management, so he could only say goodbye and leave. He looked at Shen Shenghui and Zhang Yupeng at the door, then turned and left.

Shen Shenghui looked at Liu Jiahui's back and reminded: "Producer Liu, you'd better communicate with your head office quickly. If you can't agree to our conditions as soon as possible, then we may bring Wang Cheng back to the company first."

Liu Jiahui stared at Shen Shenghui with wide eyes and asked in disbelief: "You are going to take Wang Cheng away now? Quit the show?"

Shen Shenghui nodded: "Yes! If we can't reach an agreement, then we can only do this."

Liu Jiahui felt a headache and stared at Shen Shenghui and said, "Wang Cheng is willing?"

Shen Shenghui asked, "What do you think?"

Liu Jiahui was speechless. He felt that Wang Cheng might not care...

Moreover, given Wang Cheng's lazy personality, he might be happier if he doesn't go on the show and doesn't have to work in acting?

Liu Jiahui didn't say anything more, turned around and left. After entering the elevator, he immediately took out his phone and made a call.

In the dormitory.

Wang Cheng is still reading.

Qin Yuhai looked at Wang Cheng and said: "Haha, Wang Cheng, it seems that everyone is more aware of your strength and talent. With your strength and talent, the Tomorrow Idol program team gave you too little. We will talk to them again. How about your treatment? Before that, you go back to the magic city to take a rest, how about it?"

Wang Cheng finally raised his head and glanced at Qin Yuhai, frowning slightly.

He doesn't like breach of contract, which goes against his principles.

But……

This is a breach of contract by the agency to the program team, and it does not count as a breach of contract by him personally.

Moreover, he was naturally happy to have a chance to rest.

It would be best if I could rest until the end of the agency contract...

so.

Think about it for a moment.

Wang Cheng did not refuse, and nodded gently to Qin Yuhai: "Okay!"

Qin Yuhai felt an inexplicable sense of surprise just because Wang Cheng talked to him.

Qin Mo also breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little more friendly looking at Wang Cheng's perfect face.

Qin Yuhai felt that his performance just now might have left a good impression on Wang Cheng, so he immediately said: "That's good, we will leave for the airport and return to the Magic City later. After you return, don't go back to the dormitory, go to Huayuan Live in that villa, it will be your personal dormitory from now on, I will let Xiao Mo live at my place."

Qin Mo's face turned slightly red and he nodded in agreement.

but!

Wang Cheng shook his head gently and said calmly: "No, I will live in the dormitory."

Qin Yuhai didn't force himself and said with a smile: "Of course, you can pack your things first and meet downstairs later."

Wang Cheng nodded.

Qin Yuhai didn't stay long: "Then we won't bother you to pack your things!"

After saying that, Qin Yuhai took Qin Mo out first.

As soon as he walked out of Wang Cheng's dormitory, Qin Yuhai took a deep breath and wiped the sweat that suddenly appeared on his forehead, letting out all the tension he had just felt.

Six billion!

Just passed him by.

Qin Yuhai regretted a little, but when he thought about Wang Cheng's cooperation with him just now, he felt that his attitude of rejecting Yu Jinghong might have played a role, and he would be much more confident in persuading Wang Cheng to renew the contract next time.

As long as Wang Cheng can be persuaded to renew his contract, any price he pays now will be earned back in the future.

"Wang Cheng agreed to return to the Magic City."

Qin Yuhai said lightly.

Zhang Yupeng and Shen Shenghui both breathed a sigh of relief.

They were all worried that Wang Cheng would not cooperate with them. If Wang Cheng wanted to stay and perform, then they really couldn't take Wang Cheng away by force. After all, if Wang Cheng didn't leave, how could they tie him up?

Of course, the main reason is that they have no influence or control over the program team. Otherwise, they can directly prevent Wang Cheng from appearing on the stage through the program team.

However, how could the Tomorrow Idol program team listen to them?

so.

Now that Wang Cheng is willing to leave, it will be easier.

"Mr. Qin takes action, but Wang Cheng still has to give Mr. Qin face."

Shen Shenghui smiled and flattered him a little.

Qin Yuhai was in a good mood, smiled and shook his head, and then asked: "Wang Cheng uploaded the song Nunchuk just now. What is the sales response after uploading this song?"

Shen Shenghui nodded and immediately sent a message to an acquaintance at Penguin Music. The other party responded immediately and only sent a long number.

but!

Qin Yuhai looked at the time.

Wang Cheng only uploaded it for a minute.

That long series of numbers shocked several people.

"This record in the Chinese music scene is really about to become Wang Cheng's personal record list!"

Zhang Yupeng praised softly.

Shen Shenghui said coldly: "Liu Jinfeng deserves to die, the losses caused by that supplementary clause are getting more and more shocking."

Thinking of the supplementary clause signed by Liu Jinfeng and Wang Cheng.

Qin Yuhai's eyes also flashed with a hint of coldness.
