This star doesn’t work overtime

Pulling the suitcase, I walked into the deserted dormitory again.

The dormitory aunt was still at work. She was stunned when she saw Wang Cheng, and then quickly said: "Wang Cheng is back!"

Wang Cheng nodded to the dormitory aunt, and then walked in!

The dormitory aunt quickly ran out of the duty room and watched Wang Cheng enter the elevator. Her eyes were full of surprise and she murmured in a low voice: "You are such a famous person, why do you come back to live in the dormitory?"

Although the dormitory aunt usually doesn't pay as much attention to the entertainment industry as those star-chasers, she also knows how popular Wang Cheng is now. Wang Cheng's music and songs are all over the street, and Wang Cheng's name appears everywhere. His own son My daughter is also a fan of Wang Cheng. She has also watched Wang Cheng’s live show together...

so.

She thought that Wang Cheng would never return to this dormitory again.

did not expect.

Now, Wang Cheng has returned to the dormitory that was about to be abandoned by the company.

The dormitory aunt felt a little weird.

Before, she had seen some trainees who had just become famous and were somewhat famous impatiently moving out of their dormitories to find their own living space.

I have never seen someone as famous as Wang Cheng stay in the dormitory.

She thought of the rumors that Wang Cheng was a big star, and she didn't believe this rumor.

Will big-name celebrities come to live in the dormitory?

The dormitory aunt frowned slightly, but she still remembered the task Shen Shenghui gave her before - recording Wang Cheng's daily life schedule, walked back to her duty room, and recorded the time when Wang Cheng returned to the dormitory in her notebook!

Wang Cheng returned to the dormitory and calmed down.

This is his first fixed residence in this world, and it can be regarded as a temporary home.

When I return home, I will naturally feel much calmer and a little more relaxed. I will put away the salutes one by one, put down the hats, masks, etc....

Wang Cheng looked relaxed and natural, as if he were at home, and began to boil water, wash up and get ready for bed.

Buzz buzz...

The phone rings.

Wang Cheng saw a series of numbers and ignored them. After washing, the hot water was boiled. After soaking in the hot water, he felt very comfortable. He picked up a book and started reading.

This is the life enjoyment he wants...

Buzz buzz...

The phone rang again.

It was still a string of numbers, and Wang Cheng ignored it.

However, the phone kept ringing, and several numbers were called alternately...

Wang Cheng pretended not to see him.

He won't answer calls without a name note.

When he was getting ready to go to bed, the phone rang again, and finally a name with a note appeared - Han Xiao.

Wang Cheng answered the call but didn't speak.

Han Xiao knew that this was Wang Cheng's style and said directly: "Wang Cheng, have you returned to the dormitory?"

Wang Cheng: "Yeah!"

Han Xiao: "Has the share from Penguin Entertainment been paid to you? You should quickly change your place to live. The dormitory is too inconvenient. The house you were interested in last time was booked by someone else. Do you want me to come over tomorrow? Are you going to look for a house with me?"

Wang Cheng: "No need! The first share has been received, but it doesn't cost much. It's for the first quarter. There is still a big gap before I can buy a house. I will take a look at it when I have time recently."

Han Xiao: "Okay, I'm quite busy with work these days. I'll go back and see you when I have time!"

Wang Cheng: "No, just go about your work."

Han Xiao was silent for a moment, then said: "By the way, Director Guo just called me and asked me to remind you to upload a new song, in case you forget. You haven't recorded the farewell song yet. If you have time, you will record it tomorrow. Now the whole Internet is waiting for these two songs to be uploaded."

Wang Cheng: "Okay, I understand."

Han Xiao: "There is also the public opinion about you, let me tell you something. The direction of public opinion about you on the Internet is not right now, and there are a lot of negative news about you. Many media are hyping you up to be a big name, ignoring fans, and ignoring fans These remarks... I have spoken for you on Weibo, do you want to clarify them? Do you want to ask your company to help you control them? "

Han Xiao knew that it might be difficult for Wang Cheng to use the resources of Rubik's Cube Entertainment to control public opinion.

There are still irreconcilable conflicts between the two sides.

Unless Wang Cheng compromises...

Wang Cheng still said calmly: "Don't worry about it, I'm going to sleep."

Han Xiao: "Okay, good night!"

Snapped.

Wang Cheng hung up the phone and didn't pay attention to what Han Xiao said just now. He didn't care about the direction of public opinion or negative public opinion. He just remembered that the house he was interested in was sold last time, so what's next? Next time I have to continue looking for a suitable house.

He is more concerned about finding a satisfactory place to live.

When his second-quarter share of Penguin Entertainment is settled, the money should be enough to buy a house.

Putting his thoughts aside, Wang Cheng found the Happy Worship studio version that he and Han Xiao had recorded in advance on his mobile phone, and uploaded it to the Penguin Music platform.

As for saying goodbye to this improvised work, there is no way to upload it for the time being.

Done.

It was just past ten o'clock.

Wang Cheng immediately muted his cell phone, turned off the lights and went to sleep.

…

At this time, in an old street in the center of the magic city, Qin Yuhai was having dinner with Shen Shenghui and Zhang Yupeng.

Qin Yuhai and Zhang Yupeng had already finished eating. Shen Shenghui had just arrived and served a few more dishes.

Qin Yuhai said in a serious tone: "I heard that the ratings of Tomorrow's Idol tonight exceeded 5 again! Wang Cheng's appeal and fan loyalty are unquestionable. It is said that as long as Wang Cheng is invited to the show, the ratings are guaranteed. 4 o'clock."

Shen Shenghui nodded: "I heard just now that the ratings of two consecutive episodes have exceeded 5. Tomorrow's Idol has become a god this year. Li Guang, Wu Tong, Zhang Huizhong and more than a dozen of their top variety show directors and producers have all called me I called and wanted to interview Wang Cheng in Shanghai about his contract! I initially thought that Wang Cheng’s current quotation would be higher than last time. The quotation for a single season of variety shows would start at least 200 million. If we really go to talk, I can talk about 350 million. Around 10 million, plus about 10% profit sharing.”

"Based on this calculation, based on the guaranteed 4-point ratings, Wang Cheng's income from last season's variety show will not be less than 400 million! Two variety shows a year, plus other advertising endorsements, the income It will not be less than one billion, which is definitely the ceiling in the entire entertainment industry now."

It is absolutely incredible to be able to earn one billion a year just from variety shows and endorsements.

Not counting investment and other income, but only accounting fees, endorsement fees, film remuneration, music works and other pure industry income, the highest income in the Chinese entertainment industry last year was about 670 million, which is the current number one person in the Chinese entertainment industry Liu Qianhua is in his 50s and 60s. His salary for participating in a movie starts at 100 million, plus part of the box office share. Coupled with his many big-name endorsements and a lot of music copyright income accumulated throughout his life, he only earns 60 million yuan a year. Just an income of 700 million!

The year before last, another super star actor participated in a movie with a box office that exceeded 2 billion, and he enjoyed 20% of the box office share. In addition to the salary, he directly took away 500 million in income, plus other endorsements and advertising fees. , music copyright income, etc., have reached the achievement of annual income of more than one billion, but such income does not happen every year. After all, not everyone is eligible to receive box office share. Super first-line super giants who receive box office share, There’s no guarantee that the box office will be a hit…

Other ordinary first-tier players earn around 100 million a year, and if they are lucky, they may earn around 200 million. After all, there have been a lot of new traffic celebrities entering the industry in the past two years, and their value has been reduced compared to before.

Wang Cheng can generate an income of one billion just from the advertising fees of two variety shows and some endorsements, not counting the income from his music works.

certainly……

Ninety percent of the income from announcement fees and endorsement fees belongs to the brokerage company, and only 10% is Wang Cheng's personal income.

However, this year, Wang Cheng may be able to top the annual income list in the Chinese entertainment industry by relying on his income from singing on the Tomorrow Idol stage.

Zhang Yupeng maintained his position. When it came to Wang Cheng's matters, he remained silent and left the matter entirely to Shen Shenghui.

Qin Yuhai frowned slightly: "How has your contact with Wang Cheng been over the past two days?"

Shen Shenghui shook his head: "It's still the same, he's still out of touch."

Qin Yuhai: "Are you confident in your plan?"

Shen Shenghui still shook his head slightly and said, "Mr. Qin, I have no confidence!"

Qin Yuhai's expression changed instantly: "Director Shen, what do you mean?"

Shen Shenghui lost the absolute confidence he had before and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Qin, Wang Cheng's will is very firm, and there is no absolute certainty in any method. I can only consider it from the perspective of human nature and try to defeat him as much as possible. will, and then talk to him about a contract extension."

"However, it has almost spread throughout the circle about how difficult Wang Cheng is to get along with. I can only say that this is the best, most extreme, and most possible way to defeat him that I can think of!"

"But I really can't guarantee whether it will succeed. If Mr. Qin regrets it now, it's not too late. You can sell Wang Cheng's contract to Penguin Entertainment and make a lot of money!"

Qin Yuhai looked at Shen Shenghui closely, and he could understand Shen Shenghui's words.

Only after meeting Wang Cheng did I realize how difficult it was for this nineteen-year-old boy to communicate. The stones in the toilet were not so smelly and hard...

Qin Yuhai looked at Shen Shenghui closely and said in a deep voice: "Then take a gamble and let's get started!"

Shen Shenghui nodded: "Let's get started, now is an opportunity! The public opinion against Wang Cheng from the outside world is not good, most of it is negative. This is the result of us not investing resources to guide, and most media will not be kind. We will help you build a good image through hype and hype, so that you can get traffic if there is any controversy."

"Our first step is to destroy his image! Let his fans leave him..."

"Without the support of his fans, he is nothing."

Qin Yuhai had read Shen Shenghui's plan, so he was not unfamiliar with it. He just said softly: "Then if Wang Cheng's image becomes bad, can it be turned around in the future?"

Shen Shenghui smiled and said: "Mr. Qin, as long as Wang Cheng can cooperate in the future, it will definitely be possible! After all, his talent and strength will never be lost."

Qin Yuhai took a deep breath, and after a little tangle in his heart, he made up his mind.

He has rejected Penguin Entertainment's high-priced acquisitions one after another, and he no longer hesitates at this time. Since he wants to take a gamble, he should go on firmly!

"I will give you full responsibility for Wang Cheng's affairs. I only care about the results!"

Qin Yuhai looked at Shen Shenghui and said seriously.

Shen Shenghui nodded: "Okay, Mr. Qin, I will do my best. Then I rejected the invitations from Li Guang, Wu Tong, and Zhang Huizhong?"

Qin Yuhai nodded: "Okay, you can call them personally to decline their cooperation, and wait until there is an opportunity to cooperate again in the future."

Since he wanted to tie Wang Cheng to Rubik's Cube Entertainment, Qin Yuhai did not pay attention to the offers from many top domestic variety show directors and producers.

So what if it’s a billion a year?

If Wang Cheng cannot renew his contract within a year and a half, he will only earn 1.5 billion, which is far from what he spent.

What he values ​​​​is the long-term benefits of renewing the contract with Wang Cheng.

Put aside all temporary immediate interests first.

As long as Wang Cheng can be kept in Rubik's Cube Entertainment, everything lost now will be earned back tenfold and a hundredfold in the future!

Qin Yuhai looked at Shen Shenghui who was eating and asked curiously: "How much did Wang Cheng's new song sell today?"

Shen Shenghui shook his head: "I haven't asked yet."

Zhang Yupeng said: "I asked just now. Wang Cheng's work Happy Worship was uploaded just ten minutes ago, and the sales have already exceeded 50 million. The sales have not been affected by negative news on the Internet. Fans like it very much. Moreover, Wang Cheng's The number of fans has increased by one million, and it is amazing that he can add another million fans at his level."

Qin Yuhai was very jealous of this sales volume, and then asked: "What is the total sales volume of all Wang Cheng's works so far?"

Zhang Yupeng said seriously: "I did the calculation just now. Wang Cheng has uploaded a total of more than a dozen works. Except for the guzheng piece, the sales of each of his other works have exceeded 100 million, and the total sales have exceeded 1.5 billion. What he got must be the top sharing contract, and he can get 80% of the sales.”

When Shen Shenghui heard this number, his eating movements froze and he stared blankly at Zhang Yupeng who was speaking.

Qin Yuhai narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a complicated tone: "In other words, he can get more than 1.2 billion in sales share, and we can get more than 120 million? Can he keep about 1.1 billion for himself?"

Zhang Yupeng could imagine Qin Yuhai's mood and nodded: "It will only be more, not less than this number."

Anyone who sees such a large amount of money flowing out of their hands will not be calm.

If Liu Jinfeng and Wang Cheng of Dongxing Entertainment hadn't signed a supplementary agreement, the company would now have an extra billion in revenue!

Qin Yuhai asked coldly: "Where is Liu Jinfeng now?"

Zhang Yupeng shook his head: "I didn't pay attention to him."

Shen Shenghui whispered: "I heard that he went to Huangjiang Entertainment and became a full-time agent temporarily."

Qin Yuhai said in a cold voice: "Call Huangjiang Entertainment and ask them to fire Liu Jinfeng. Tell other entertainment companies not to hire him. I want him to get out of the entertainment industry."

Shen Shenghui ate quietly and agreed: "Okay, with his vision, he is indeed not suitable for being in the entertainment industry. If he didn't have many acquaintances in Shanghai, Huangjiang Entertainment would not have accepted him! Now, everyone in the industry knows that , the supplementary agreement he signed with Wang Cheng brought huge losses to the company, and we didn’t even need to say hello, no one is willing to accept such a person. "

Qin Yuhai snorted and didn't want to speak.

More than a huge loss.

It is simply an incalculable loss.

If the loss exceeds one billion just now, how huge will the long-term loss be in the future?

And that bullshit contract, why should the copyright of Wang Cheng’s own works belong to him personally?

If Rubik's Cube Entertainment now owns the copyright of all Wang Cheng's works, wouldn't it be much easier to negotiate a contract extension with Wang Cheng?

Qin Yuhai felt that the entire Dongxing Entertainment in the past had no brains and left him such a big mess in Wang Cheng's contract.

"Start tomorrow!"

Qin Yuhai said seriously.

The urgency in his heart was also heavy.

Wang Cheng has one and a half years left on his contract.

He couldn't wait any longer.

Shen Shenghui nodded: "Okay! I will arrange work for Wang Cheng tomorrow."

Qin Yuhai hummed, stood up to pay, and left first. Zhang Yupeng also left with him, leaving only Shen Shenghui to stay here to eat.

…

Early the next morning.

Wang Cheng got up at around six o'clock as usual, and then went out for a morning run.

Today, he was alone. Without Han Xiao chatting around him, Wang Cheng was still a little bit uncomfortable.

After running around for a while, Wang Cheng went to a nearby breakfast shop to buy breakfast.

The company's dormitory is about to be moved, so this dormitory is almost abandoned and will not be used until the lease expires. Other former trainees from Dongxing Entertainment used to live with the trainees from Rubik's Cube Entertainment, so the canteen here is natural No more.

If Wang Cheng wants to live here, he will have to solve the problem of eating by himself in the future.

but……

This is not a problem for Wang Cheng.

He actually liked the peace and quiet where he was the only one living here.

Oh, and there is also a dormitory aunt.

The dormitory aunt looked at him alone.

While eating breakfast, I strolled back to the door of the dormitory.

Wang Cheng saw Shen Shenghui waiting there.

Shen Shenghui smiled at Wang Cheng and said, "Wang Cheng, let's have breakfast quickly. After that, we'll start working."
