This star doesn’t work overtime

After getting off work at noon and returning to the hotel for a lunch break, Wang Cheng took the bus back and continued working.

Extremely punctual!

In the afternoon, Xiao Qiang, Yu Wenqiao, and Liu Jie almost stayed in the program group watching Wang Cheng and others...

Waiting for Wang Cheng to summon them when he needs them!

but……

One afternoon, Wang Cheng was buried in the dance practice room, practicing dance with Wen Yixiao, Zhu Ziqi, Han Xiao and An Keru!

Xiao Qiang and Yu Wenqiao were both a little bored, and the rest of the program team also took a break.

Liu Jie walked back and forth with some discomfort for a while. After more than an hour, he gave Xiao Qiang and Yu Wenqiao some instructions and left in a hurry.

Xiao Qiang was drinking water, looking a little leisurely, and seemed to have laid down on his back. Anyway, he was just an unknown little director, and it was not his turn to take the blame if something went wrong.

This investment of almost hundreds of millions is not something he can afford...

Yu Wenqiao said in a low voice: "Director Liu was suffering from an acute illness and sought medical treatment indiscriminately. He placed all his hopes on Wang Cheng. We watched for a while at noon. I think the dance he rehearsed for Wen Yixiao and the others this time was relatively average. It’s not as good as the performance on Tomorrow Idol!”

Xiao Qiang nodded: "Maybe it's more classical. After all, it has to fit in with the core nature of our program! Let's leave it alone. Since Director Liu believes in Wang Cheng, let's not get involved in anything. If anything happens, it will be with us. It doesn't matter. We will do whatever they ask us to do..."

Yu Wenqiao listened and nodded in agreement!

This is also the thought of several other people in charge of the program team, and they are quite in a state of being lying flat.

Wang Cheng and Director Liu didn't speak, they just sat there and played with their mobile phones, doing nothing.

In this way, when something happens and someone needs to take the blame, they can blame everything...

Therefore, the program team at this time seemed to have completely stopped functioning, and everyone was idle.

not far away.

Wang Cheng's chief assistant picked up the phone and called Shen Shenghui.

Buzz buzz...

The call was quickly connected.

Shen Shenghui was sitting in the office chatting with a front-line artist from a company. When he saw a call from Wang Cheng's assistant, he immediately smiled and said: "Okay, I understand what you think. The company will make arrangements! I'll take the call. Phone, sorry..."

This first-line artist was a little unhappy because he didn't get the promise he wanted, but he didn't dare to show it in front of Shen Shenghui, and he left with the same smile.

After digesting Dongxing Entertainment, there are twenty or thirty first-line celebrity artists under Rubik's Cube Entertainment. It can be said that it is the one with the most first-line artists among the major entertainment giants. The company's resources are suddenly not enough, resulting in Its stars and artists are full of conflicts and are trying to find ways to get more resources.

However, they were suppressed by Shen Shenghui and Qin Yuhai for the time being.

Now, Rubik's Cube Entertainment's focus is on Wang Cheng, and they want Wang Cheng to renew his contract quickly, and then start a series of development plans...

Therefore, when he saw a call from Wang Cheng's chief assistant, Shen Shenghui immediately ended other matters and quickly answered the call: "How is the situation? Has the recording started?"

The assistant looked at the almost paralyzed program team, and then at the door of the practice room where Wang Cheng practiced dancing. Truthfully reported: "The conflict between Wang Cheng and the program team broke out! He was dissatisfied with the program arrangement of the program team and felt it was too bad. To record according to his ideas..."

Shen Shenghui, who was sitting in the office, couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

This is the result he wants.

Wang Cheng offended more people, and his reputation in the industry gradually collapsed. Then it would be difficult for him to make progress in the industry, and he could only rely on Rubik's Cube Entertainment to develop.

Moreover, Wang Cheng, a nineteen-year-old boy, had the delusion to control a program team to lead the recording of the program. In his opinion, it was an idea that was too high and low.

but……

It reminds me that when Wang Cheng was filming the Hongxing commercial, he seemed to have taken the initiative. The commercial was shot according to Wang Cheng's ideas, and the effect was surprisingly good...

Shen Shenghui frowned slightly, and then slowly relaxed his brows.

He knew that Hongxing's advertisement was a song MV, which happened to be very suitable for Hongxing's products, so the effect was so good.

As for popular song and dance performances, Wang Cheng is currently the best at external performances. Shen Shenghui can also understand and accept such an effect.

But the recording of a variety show is not comparable to a commercial short film...

Shen Shenghui smiled and said: "Then what did the program team say? What did China Central Television say?"

Assistant: "The strange thing is here. Director Liu of Central Plains TV supported Wang Cheng, and the director team stopped doing anything. The program team is now waiting for Wang Cheng's order, but Wang Cheng took Wen Yixiao and the others there I have to practice dance, so now the entire program team is on hold! I feel that Wang Cheng is messing around and he doesn’t know how to handle a program team well."

Director Liu of China Central Television supports Wang Cheng! The program team is almost shut down?

After Shen Shenghui captured these key information, the worries in his heart quickly disappeared, and he said happily: "Okay, I understand. You continue to record all the information. If there are any changes, report to me in time!"

Assistant: "Okay, Director Shen!"

hang up the phone.

Shen Shenghui spun around in his chair, took out his phone and looked at Wang Cheng's popularity on Weibo, which was still among the top three hot topics.

Buzz buzz...

The phone rings again!

Shen Shenghui saw that it was the person in charge of Penguin Music and answered the call immediately.

Rubik's Cube Entertainment and Penguin Music also have a long-term cooperation, and the music works of its singers are all released on the Penguin Music platform.

Shen Shenghui answered the phone: "Mr. He, I'm a rare visitor..."

As the largest music online platform in China, Penguin Music can be said to be the father of almost all singers, and it is also a strong player in the face of almost all entertainment companies.

Under normal circumstances, almost all entertainment companies ask Penguin Music Platform for something, such as providing more resources to their own singers, etc.!

Therefore, the management of Penguin Music Platform rarely takes the initiative to contact people from entertainment companies. People from entertainment companies constantly contact Penguin Music to ask for resources...

Not to mention Mr. He is one of the vice presidents of Penguin Music.

It was the first time that Shen Shenghui received a call from Mr. He, and he had some doubts and speculations in his heart.

Mr. He on the other side smiled and said, "I'll be relieved if I can get through Director Shen's phone number."

Shen Shenghui was confused: "Why did Mr. He say this?"

Mr. He: "We called Wang Cheng, a subsidiary of your company, hundreds of times but no one got through. We called you several times but no one answered. I had to call you personally. I thought your Rubik's Cube Entertainment let you Wang Cheng has severed cooperation with our platform..."

Shen Shenghui understood instantly.

Penguin Music wants Wang Cheng to release songs, but Wang Cheng refuses to release these songs on the Penguin Music platform, and many fans are urging him everywhere.

Penguin Music naturally wanted Wang Cheng to take advantage of the popularity and release songs as soon as possible to attract a wave of users and popularity, so it kept contacting Wang Cheng. Previously, it even paid off all the profits to Wang Cheng at once to show its favor, but it still failed to make Wang Cheng Cheng releases songs on time...

No way!

Mr. He could only call Shen Shenghui, Wang Cheng's direct person in charge.

Shen Shenghui thought for a while and said with a smile: "Mr. He said something serious. Mr. He, you should know about Wang Cheng's situation. I can't even get through his phone. If I want to talk to him about something, I have to go to the interview in person. Mr. He Do you have something urgent to do with Wang Cheng?"

Mr. He said straight to the point: "It's nothing big! It's just a business matter. Wang Cheng has three songs that have been released for a while, but they haven't been uploaded to the platform yet. Many of his fans want to download them. I want to talk to Wang Cheng Let’s talk, I hope he can upload his works soon and not let fans down for too long, which will also affect Wang Cheng’s reputation and popularity.”

Shen Shenghui's eyes flickered: "Oh, I will tell Wang Cheng about this."

Mr. He: "Director Shen, we hope to talk to Wang Cheng face to face!"

Shen Shenghui: "Sorry, Mr. He, Wang Cheng has been busy recently and may not have time to see you."

Mr. He: "Director Shen, I won't beat around the bush. If you can ask Wang Cheng to release songs within three days, then the works of several artists under your company who are releasing songs will get a certain degree of exposure! Even, we can By packaging and promoting their works with Wang Cheng, the exposure will be much higher than usual..."

Shen Shenghui was very moved.

He understands Wang Cheng's appeal very well. If the works of several big-name singers under the company can be promoted together with Wang Cheng, the exposure will at least double, and the sales volume will increase by at least 30%, which will bring about an increase in popularity and Long-term popularity is more attractive.

As for such a good thing, the Penguin Music platform was previously given to big-name stars under Penguin Entertainment. It was impossible for celebrity artists from other companies to be packaged and promoted with Wang Cheng...

Now, in order for Wang Cheng to publish songs, Penguin Music has given up part of this resource opportunity to Rubik's Cube Entertainment.

but.

Shen Shenghui's family knew about his affairs.

He knew that he could not decide anything for Wang Cheng.

If Wang Cheng didn't want to, there was nothing he could do.

Especially in terms of musical works, Wang Cheng has almost complete autonomy!

Therefore, he said: "Mr. He, I absolutely agree with this matter! However, I can't influence Wang Cheng's thoughts, so I can help you talk to Wang Cheng about this matter. As for the outcome, I I can’t guarantee it.”

Mr. He smiled and said: "That's enough! Thank you, Director Shen. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, I will tell the following that the recent works released by several singers under Rubik's Cube Entertainment are quite good..."

Shen Shenghui: "Hahaha, of course, our company has invited many veteran producers and songwriters to cooperate this time, and the songs released are definitely high-quality!"

Mr. He: "I know, but Director Shen should know that the works released by artists under other companies are no worse than yours!"

Shen Shenghui's smile gradually faded, and he felt helpless at the current involution of the pop music industry.

High-quality musical works that could be used as hit songs in the past few years are now everywhere...

Many powerful songwriters and producers have stepped forward and released high-quality works with powerful star singers.

In the two weeks since Tomorrow's Idol ended, the pop music world has been reduced to a mess...

Stimulated by the explosive sales of pop songs one after another, many powerful musicians and singers have invested 120% to grab money.

The other two major platforms have also become prosperous because of this...

This is why Penguin Music wants Wang Cheng to continue releasing songs. It wants to rely on Wang Cheng to continue to dominate the other two major platforms, and it is also more afraid that Wang Cheng will be poached by those two platforms!

Shen Shenghui: "Okay, Mr. He, I have something else to do, so I won't talk to you anymore. When Wang Cheng returns to Magic City, I will go see him as soon as possible to talk about releasing songs."

Mr. He: "Okay, please excuse me, Director Shen..."

hang up the phone.

Shen Shenghui took out his mobile phone and looked at the sales list of Penguin Music's new songs this week. He saw that it was almost the weekend, and the number one sales had only reached 40 million. Compared with Wang Cheng, Wen Yixiao, and Du Wei, when they were fighting, it could be said that it was The regression is huge.

However, sales have improved a lot compared to a few months ago.

However, continuing to glance down, Shen Shenghui frowned slightly.

This is because the gap between the top ten in the weekly sales list of new songs is almost not big. The sales of the first place are more than 42 million, and the tenth place is as high as 31 million. The difference between the rankings of almost every song is only a hundred. About ten thousand...

This fierce competition is the first time Shen Shenghui has seen in his career.

The competition is more intense than in the golden period of Chinese pop music more than ten or twenty years ago!

This also shows that the quality level of these works is not much different, and the sales gap may be due to factors other than the works, such as promotion resources, hype, etc...

Shen Shenghui once again lamented the dominance of Wang Cheng's works!

He looked at the situation of the other two major music platforms again and found that although the overall weekly sales list of the two major platforms was not as good as Penguin Music, the weekly sales volume of the top one was also as high as 30 million!

He understood why Penguin Music was so eager for Wang Cheng to release songs.

This is because he feels threatened and wants to ask Wang Cheng to suppress the whole crowd!

Shen Shenghui picked up the phone and dialed Wang Cheng's number...

Tuk-tuk-tuk...

After a while, there was the unanswered sound that he was very familiar with.

…

Eight o'clock in the afternoon!

Wang Cheng once again left work on time and left the dance practice room, got in the car and went back to the hotel for dinner.

Wen Yixiao, Zhu Ziqi, An Keru, and Han Xiao still didn't leave. They stayed together to continue training. They also asked their agent to pack some food from the hotel and deliver it to them, and they ate here.

It is such a rare opportunity to be coached by Wang Cheng personally, and there is also a great opportunity to collaborate with Wang Cheng in dance performances.

None of the four proud women wanted to hold them back. They all hoped that they could perform better and leave a deeper impression on Wang Cheng.

Therefore, none of the four will relax at all.

Even though the dance moves Wang Cheng taught them didn't seem that difficult.

However, Wang Cheng has very high requirements for temperament and artistic conception, which requires them to put in a lot of practice to understand...

Xiao Qiang, Yu Wenqiao and other program team leaders also got off work. Anyway, Wang Cheng didn't ask them to do anything, so they clocked in and got off work on time!

After a while, the managers of Wen Yixiao, Zhu Ziqi, Han Xiao, and An Keru personally delivered meals to them.

The four of them each sat in a corner of the practice room, rested, and started eating!

Mo Jinhua opened the food one by one, looked at the other three people, and asked Wen Yixiao in a low voice: "I heard that Wang Cheng and the program director had a falling out, and the program almost stopped?"

Wen Yixiao shook his head: "It's not that there was a falling out. It's because the director team wants to listen to Wang Cheng. It's not that there's a shutdown. It's just because Wang Cheng didn't ask them to do anything. They have nothing to do, so they're just sitting idle!"

When Mo Jinhua heard this, her eyes widened: "Wang Cheng intervened in the program team, or even took over the entire program team? Isn't this nonsense? Does he know how to produce programs? Does he understand program content planning? Moreover, he will offend the entire program team. No one else in the program team or the TV station will dare to cooperate with him in the future. After all, who wants to invite an old man back and be his puppet?"

"With this nonsense, your program will definitely crash. If the ratings are terrible, Wang Cheng will be completely ostracized by the TV industry! No one will dare to cooperate with him..."

Mo Jinhua was a veteran in the industry, and she immediately pointed out the problem. She was about to persuade Wen Yixiao to keep a distance from Wang Cheng, but she was afraid that Wen Yixiao would be unhappy and did not say anything, so she could only stop abruptly and looked at her. Wen Yixiao.

Wen Yixiao didn't care about Mo Jinhua's words and said calmly: "I don't care about those things. It would be great if I could record the show with him. By the way, Sister Mo, she helped me push the announcements for the next two days. !”

Mo Jinhua was speechless, her lips moved, and some words were left unsaid. She believed that when Wang Cheng was fighting with the program team, Wen Yixiao would definitely be supporting Wang Cheng. After the news spread, Wen Yixiao would also be What other program groups are afraid of may affect the reputation within the circle.

but……

Hearing Wen Yixiao's request to reject the announcements for the next two days, Mo Jinhua suddenly woke up, put aside her worries for the time being, frowned and said, "Why? The announcements that followed were all scheduled long ago. They are announcements for a big-name program. And when you go back to Nanyue to discuss the album with Mr. Liu Shengjie, they are all waiting for you. If you just push it like this, they won’t be happy."

If you directly reject the program announcements for the next two days, you will definitely offend people...

Wen Yixiao didn't care about this, but when she heard that she was going to discuss new songs and albums with Liu Shengjie, she hesitated for a moment, and then said firmly: "Wang Cheng said that the show will be recorded for two days, so I don't have time to go, help I’ll withdraw, or if they want, just postpone it for two days!”

Mo Jinhua took a deep breath and suppressed her dissatisfaction with Wang Cheng.

She didn't know how long she could endure Wang Cheng!

Wen Yixiao followed Wang Cheng to record a program like this, offending the program team and rejecting other announcements. In her opinion, it was simply jeopardizing her own future.

It’s not just Wang Cheng who is cutting off his own future, Wen Yixiao is also cutting off his own future.

Even Wen Yixiao is very popular now, almost the second most popular celebrity artist after Wang Cheng, but if she establishes enemies in the circle like this, she will be hurt by these people sooner or later, and she may get a fatal blow. Unable to turn over...

Such examples can be said to abound in the industry.

Is it worth it for Wang Cheng?

and……

Still not getting any response.

Moreover, while competing with three other people at the same time.

From Mo Jinhua's rational point of view, this is simply a mindless and idiotic behavior, irrational at all, and ruining his future in vain!

However, her ears moved and she heard others raising their voices in desperation.

"Ziqi, are you participating in the forced program?"

"Ziqi... don't be so willful! You have a prime-time big-name variety show announcement in the next two days. It would be too wasteful for you to reject it like this, and it will offend others!"

"Ziqi, Wang Cheng is acting like this. It is impossible for your program to replicate the miracle of rural life this time. You have to think carefully..."

Mo Jinhua and Wen Yixiao looked at Zhu Ziqi at the same time, and saw that Zhu Ziqi did not argue with her agent Peng Yuying, but just ate her food with a determined expression!

Then, they looked at An Keru and Han Xiao. The situation was almost the same. It was obvious that several agents did not understand their choice.

Wen Yixiao withdrew her eyes and her expression became more determined.

The other three could do it, and Wen Yixiao felt that not only should she do it, but she should also do it better...

While eating, Wen Yixiao whispered to Mo Jinhua: "Sister Mo, I don't want to hear these words anymore. You just need to cooperate with me in whatever I want to do, okay?"

Mo Jinhua was stunned, and then knew that she had said something bad about Wang Cheng. Wen Yixiao was unhappy. She felt bitter and helpless, but she hurriedly smiled and said: "Yixiao, you know, I'm sure I support you, don’t worry..."

Wen Yixiao nodded silently, already thinking about her dance moves.

She is more dedicated and does better than the other three.

Zhu Ziqi, Han Xiao, and An Keru obviously had the same idea. They all finished their meals quickly and started practicing again almost at the same time as Wen Yixiao.

Several agents stood and watched for a while, all slightly disappointed, and then did not dare to say anything. They had obviously been warned by these few, so they could only silently leave with their things and wait outside for them. Let’s go back to the hotel together after practice!

but……

Whether it's Mo Jinhua, Peng Yuying, Li Jing, An Keru's agent, etc.!

All four of them were mentally prepared.

Mo Jinhua directly picked up the phone and called Yu Jinghong: "Mr. Yu, we may have to prepare crisis public relations for Wen Yixiao in advance..."

She began to envision how she would clean up the mess after the show was released.
