This star doesn’t work overtime

China Central Television has never been so high-profile and has never been watched by so many people.

But what is getting attention is not prime time variety shows or TV series...

It is a cultural and educational variety show at midnight at 11pm.

If it were normal, at this time, most people at China Central Television would have gone home to rest after get off work.

But……

Tonight, most of the staff of China Central Television are still on duty.

Even though many people actually have no jobs, they have been informed by their leaders that they have to work overtime until twelve o'clock to cope with any sudden emergency needs.

Even many of China Central Television's own staff members were actually aware of the program Wenhua Zhongyuan for the first time, and they never thought that one day they would have to work overtime for this midnight cultural and educational program.

This temporary overtime notice was given by Liu Jie. He, Xiao Qiang, and Yu Wenqiao also stayed in the office to work overtime, waiting for the show to be broadcast.

Liu Jie made a pot of tea himself and poured a cup for both Xiao Qiang and Yu Wenqiao.

Xiao Qiang and Yu Wenqiao hurriedly and carefully took the tea cups and said thank you quickly.

Liu Jie picked up the teacup and took a sip, looked at the two of them and said, "Lao Xiao, Lao Yu, I have known you for more than ten years. Don't be so different. We may have to deal with you more often in the future."

Xiao Qiang also took a sip of tea and praised: "Good tea, Mr. Liu, your craftsmanship is also very extraordinary."

Yu Wenqiao also praised: "Good tea."

The two of them didn't know what Liu Jie wanted to say, so they flattered him first before talking.

Liu Jie smiled and said: "The tea at the store at the door costs 50 yuan a bag, which is nothing good."

Xiao Qiang and Yu Wenqiao paused awkwardly, then smiled to hide their embarrassment.

Liu Jie's face became serious, he looked at the two people and said: "Yesterday and today, I held two meetings with several leaders and summoned many professionals from our station to discuss my proposal. Wang Cheng left after recording the program , however, I think his program model is very exciting, so I propose to the superiors that we can continue to increase investment in your programs in the future, continue to use Wang Cheng's program recording format as a template, and continue to tap into the potential!"

"If possible, make this format the signature of our Central China Satellite TV, a cultural business card. This is something that can serve many purposes."

Xiao Qiang and Yu Wenqiao's eyes lit up. They had only heard a little bit of news, and based on their status in the station, they were not qualified to participate in the upper-level meeting.

Hearing Liu Jie's confirmed words at this time, both of them knew that their opportunity had come.

The previous collaboration with Wang Cheng was just a one-time opportunity because they were lucky.

And now, it may be their chance for the rest of their lives!

Xiao Qiang immediately asked: "Director Liu, is there any result?"

Liu Jie shook his head gently: "The conclusion has not yet been decided because there is no results or data to support it."

Xiao Qiang understood immediately: "So, we have to wait until the ratings of this episode of our program come out?"

Liu Jie nodded: "Yes, let's wait until the ratings come out. Just like Xiangnan Satellite TV's Country Life, just because the last episode relied on Wang Cheng's magic, the ratings turned around. Xiangnan Satellite TV increased investment and moved the schedule to the weekend prime time. , may become a popular variety show that everyone is familiar with for a long time!"

"We want to follow the example of Hunan Satellite TV and follow the path left by Wang Cheng, and we must also rely on the ratings of this program. If the ratings are not ideal, then it is useless to say anything. If there are good ratings, then we It will create a new history for Central China Satellite TV..."

Yu Wenqiao asked softly: "Then what number must the ratings reach to meet expectations?"

Liu Jie thought for a while and said: "There is no final conclusion on this yet. However, we have invested hundreds of millions in this program, and there are so many big names such as Wang Cheng, Wen Yixiao, Zhu Ziqi, Han Xiao, and An Keru joining us. They themselves There is a certain base for guaranteed ratings. To prove the charm of the program itself, the maximum ratings cannot be less than three points. This is the expectation we have discussed privately."

Three o'clock?

Xiao Qiang and Yu Wenqiao were both a little stressed, but also a little relaxed.

There is pressure because their previous ratings were too low. They used to have ratings of 0.1 or 0.2. For them, a rating of 3 points has always been a number that they could not even dream of.

The reason for relaxation is that the leaders did not compare Wenhua Zhongyuan with Hunan Satellite TV's rural life because of Wang Cheng. If they want to get the same ratings of more than four points as rural life, then they are really not sure!

After all, the ratings of more than four o'clock are really too far away for them, and even for the entire Central Plains Satellite TV, it is out of reach.

The highest ratings of Central China Satellite TV since its establishment was just over 3 points. When the popular TV series more than 20 years ago had ratings of more than 50%, the highest ratings of Central China Satellite TV were just over 3 points, which was not even higher than 3 points. Four o'clock, let alone this day and age...

Even if the ratings of Tomorrow Idol and Country TV were over 5 and 4, they didn't dare to think about it!

A rating of three points is their highest ideal.

Xiao Qiang thought for a while and said: "I think Three Points has a good chance! Now there is a lot of attention on the Internet for our program. Since yesterday, I have been paying attention to the public opinion on the Internet. The gossip media broke the news and smeared it with rhythm When Wang Cheng was involved in the film, I also stood up and spoke for Wang Cheng as a director."

"Now, many people are curious about what program Wang Cheng can produce this time! They will definitely come to watch our program..."

Yu Wenqiao also quickly said: "I mobilized the entire program team to help promote it. This is the highest level of attention our TV station has ever received, and the ratings will definitely reach a new high!"

Liu Jie nodded, looked at Xiao Qiang and said: "Be careful next time when you speak. Don't confirm or deny the questions and gossip from the outside world! Just express your support for Wang Cheng and say that it is a pleasure to work with Wang Cheng." Yes, you admitted the fact of breaking the news like that, which had a big impact on Wang Cheng."

"I have received calls from more than a dozen old friends asking if Wang Cheng can cooperate. When they saw you admitting the truth, they were all very jealous of Wang Cheng. They were afraid that Wang Cheng would join the show team and interfere with the show team, silencing them... …”

"I can only fool around with them laughing and joking."

Xiao Qiang smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't think well at the time and just wanted to speak for Wang Cheng. Later, I also received a lot of calls from friends from other TV stations' program teams asking about the situation, but I didn't say anything. They are also very afraid of Wang Cheng and want to cooperate with Wang Cheng, but they are also afraid that Wang Cheng will take away their power."

"To be honest, I can understand them. When Wang Cheng wanted to take the lead, I and others were very repulsive. Later it turned out that we were too superficial..."

"So, what I said on Weibo is what I really think. If Wang Cheng is willing to come again, I will do anything he wants!"

Liu Jie: "Those people think too much. There is obviously someone behind the gossip media who broke the news. I won't guess who it is, but it should be close to ten. Now Wang Cheng himself is deeply in conflict. In the midst of trouble, they want to invite Wang Cheng to participate in the show, but it’s not that easy.”

"There is only one Wang Cheng!"

"By the way, Lao Xiao, when the show is over, delete all the Weibo posts you posted yesterday."

Xiao Qiang nodded: "Okay, when the show is over and the popularity is no longer needed for the time being, I will delete them all so as not to cause trouble to Wang Cheng..."

Yu Wenqiao asked curiously: "Which program will Wang Cheng appear on next?"

Liu Jie shook his head: "Who knows, Rubik's Cube Entertainment now accepts Wang Cheng's announcements all based on his mood, and randomly chooses from a bunch of programs that have no attention and no ratings. Anyway, it is impossible for Wang Cheng to be on a popular program... "

Xiao Qiang's eyes flickered: "I really hope I can work with him again. I have never admired an artist so much."

Liu Jie was full of admiration: "Who has worked with him, who wouldn't want to keep working with him? Li Guang from Dragon TV, Wu Tong from Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV, Guo Shouxin from Tomorrow's Idol, Zhang Huizhong from Xiangnan TV, Li Chi, they all work with Wang I have cooperated with Wang Cheng, and since then I have been in contact with Rubik's Cube Entertainment for quotations, and I want to cooperate with Wang Cheng again!"

"What Zhu Ziqi and the others said is right. Anyone who has come into contact with or knows Wang Cheng will be conquered by him."

"I can understand why the four of them keep chasing Wang Cheng!"

Yu Wenqiao: "There is no woman who doesn't want to chase Wang Cheng, but others are not so confident and courageous. Only the four of them have this confidence and courage!"

Liu Jie and Xiao Qiang both nodded in agreement with Yu Wenqiao's words.

They had also gone to watch Wang Cheng's performance at the farewell performance of Tomorrow's Idol, and knew that almost no opposite sex could reject Wang Cheng's charm...

However, there are still not many people who have the confidence and courage to act.

However, I thought of the authentic work of Wang Cheng that was taken away by Wen Yixiao.

Liu Jie's face was full of regret and longing: "What a pity that Wang Cheng's works were not preserved!"

Speaking of this, Xiao Qiang and Yu Wenqiao also had regrets on their faces, but it was not such a pity because they knew that even if Wang Cheng really left the work, they would definitely not be able to get it!

Moreover, they believe that even if Director Liu gets it, he may not be able to keep it.

As the three of them were chatting, the title of Wenhua Zhongyuan appeared on the TV screen. They all immediately shut up and stared at the TV screen.

Liu Jie picked up the phone and called his secretary: "Send the data to me as soon as it comes out."

Secretary: "Okay, Director Liu, I will stay here. As soon as the data comes out, I will deliver it to you personally!"

Liu Jie nodded, hung up the phone, and looked at the TV screen.

He has been busy in meetings for the past two days, and he has never seen the edited film. There is also some curiosity and expectation in his eyes. He wonders what the editing effect will be of Wang Cheng's wonderful recording scenes at that time.

…

Zhang Huizhong and Li Chi came to the capital on a business trip to attend a meeting of the superior department, and were then invited to Xie Xingfeng's home as guests.

At this time, the three of them were sitting in the large living room of Xie Xingfeng's villa, watching programs on Central Plains TV.

Xie Xingfeng looked at the Central China Satellite TV logo on the TV screen and smiled: "This is my first time watching Central China Satellite TV. I hope Wang Cheng will not disappoint me."

Zhang Huizhong was eating fruit and sitting relaxedly on the sofa: "I heard from friends at Central Plains TV that Central Plains TV attaches great importance to the program recorded by Wang Cheng this time. It is said that Wang Cheng performed very well and wrote another ancient poem on the spot, Everyone at the scene said yes, but I want to ask about the specific content of the ancient poem, so I don’t know.”

Li Chi sat quietly and didn't speak. He was just a small director before. This time he came out to meet the big bosses and didn't dare to say much for fear of saying the wrong thing.

Xie Xingfeng asked seriously: "I heard that Wang Cheng emptied the program team and the entire program team almost shut down. Is it true or false?"

Zhang Huizhong nodded and said affirmatively: "It's true. I asked three or four people, and they all said it was true! Most of the revelations on the Internet are true. Wang Cheng really dislikes the arrangement of their program team for being so bad. So he asked for his ideas to be followed. Station director Liu Jie supported Wang Cheng, and the program team became passive!"

"However, during the final recording, Wang Cheng's effect was very good, so no one on the program team dared to say anything!"

Xie Xingfeng nodded thoughtfully: "They have nothing to say if their skills are inferior to others! However, it is indeed taboo to overstep their authority and exclude the entire program team. In other words, this Wenhua Zhongyuan program was almost recorded by Wang Cheng? "

Zhang Huizhong: "Not all of them, but most of them are Wang Cheng's ideas!"

Xie Xingfeng: "Then I have to take a closer look..."

Zhang Huizhong looked at Xie Xingfeng: "What? Lao Xie, you haven't given up yet? You still want to invite Wang Cheng to the Spring Festival Gala?"

Xie Xingfeng nodded: "Of course I do. Who doesn't want to invite Wang Cheng to the show now? I want to too! I've been trying to persuade those people, but it's not convincing enough! Originally, Wang Cheng's amazing performance in your rural life last time shocked everyone. Many people were attracted by the cultural heritage shown in the humble inscription and the master's cursive calligraphy. The Capital Calligraphy Association sent an invitation to Wang Cheng, but unfortunately there was no response, which made many people complain. , I feel that Wang Cheng is too big and disrespectful to his seniors!"

"This time when the news about Wang Cheng's interference with the program group came out, the impact was even more serious. All my previous efforts were almost in vain! You know, in the Spring Festival Gala program group, no one is allowed to criticize, and all actions must be obeyed. Otherwise, get out!"

Zhang Huizhong and Li Chi both nodded in agreement.

No matter how big or talented the celebrity artist is, when it comes to the Spring Festival Gala program, you have to do whatever you are asked to do.

Otherwise, it's not just as simple as getting out. If you dare to offend the leaders of the Spring Festival Gala program, I'm afraid the entire Chinese entertainment industry will be in trouble in the future.

After a moment of silence, Xie Xingfeng sighed: "If Wang Cheng sinks due to his struggle with Rubik's Cube Entertainment and no one pays attention to him, that's it. However, he has always maintained such popularity and has powerful works. If I can't invite him If he comes to the program, this year's Spring Festival Gala will really be a failure."

"If Wang Cheng doesn't come, Wen Yixiao won't come either, and even Zhu Ziqi refuses! I really don't know what to say..."

Xie Xingfeng felt a little depressed when he said this. After meeting Wang Cheng this year, he realized that his name was not that useful in the industry.

Zhang Huizhong patted Xie Xingfeng on the shoulder: "Let's see if there are any surprises in tonight's program on Central Plains TV. Maybe this will be an opportunity for you to convince those people?"

Xie Xingfeng smiled bitterly: "I hope..."

The two stopped talking and looked at the TV screen curiously and expectantly, because Wenhua Zhongyuan had officially started broadcasting.

As soon as the picture comes out!

A host stood on the Luo River and began to explain this famous river in Chinese history, telling its historical stories, as well as some myths and legends.

Xie Xingfeng looked at the opening of this, which seemed to be an ordinary cultural and educational program, and said with some disappointment: "This doesn't seem to have changed much, right? Isn't this just a cultural and educational program that caters to policies? How are Wang Cheng and the others going to appear?"

Zhang Huizhong and Li Chi were also a little disappointed.

All three of them have expectations for Wang Cheng.

After all, it is rumored that Wang Cheng performed amazingly on the show and even wrote a poem about it.

but……

This doesn't seem to be what they imagined at all.

Several minutes passed.

The hosts are all telling the story of Luohe.

Wang Cheng, Wen Yixiao, Zhu Ziqi, Han Xiao, and An Keru didn't show up at all...

Li Chi murmured in a low voice: "Are we going to meet Wang Cheng and the others by chance in the scenic spot? Many variety shows have such scripts..."

Xie Xingfeng and Zhang Huizhong frowned slightly after hearing Li Chi's words. If the script was really like this, then they felt it was too rough and low-level...

Zhang Huizhong shook his head and said: "In this case, even Wang Cheng can't raise much ratings! The content of the program itself is still the most important."

Xie Xingfeng and Li Chi also nodded in agreement with Zhang Huizhong's words and did not have such high expectations for Wenhua Zhongyuan's ratings.

but!

In the picture, the host walked on the Luo River for a while, and after explaining for a while, he said: "Many people may be curious, what does the legendary God of Heluo look like? I am also very curious, and there happens to be a guest coming to us today. Show me..."

then!

The scene changes...

Appeared under the slightly swaying water.

A woman in ancient costume is swaying slightly in the water, with ribbons floating from her arms, abdomen, and feet, and her long black hair is fluttering like silk...

As the music plays.

The woman in ancient costume danced underwater. Every step and every movement was swift and elegant. She was flying as gracefully as a giant. With her stunning appearance, every audience member was stunned.

Xie Xingfeng, Zhang Huizhong, and Li Chi all stopped talking and stared at the figures in the picture.

The legendary goddess of Luohe is nothing more than that, right?

Xie Xingfeng said softly: "Is this Wen Yixiao?"

Zhang Huizhong also gradually woke up, but his eyes were still staring at the goddess flying in the water on the screen. He felt that this perfectly matched his fantasy of the goddess of Luohe. He nodded and said: "It's Wen Yixiao, but this is the most beautiful thing about her." A thrilling one! The creativity of the underwater dance, the choreography, the costumes, and the lighting effects are all the most beautiful I have ever seen. A real wonderland should be nothing more than this."

Li Chi praised: "This is the first time I have seen such a beautiful traditional dance. It is said that this dance was choreographed by Wang Cheng. I don't know if it is true!"

Zhang Huizhong said with certainty: "It must be true. I heard from people on the program team that Wang Cheng was busy choreographing from the beginning, so he had no time to pay attention to the program team, so he asked the program team to stop work. Such a beautiful dance, if It was arranged by the people from the program team, and I will never hide it."

Xie Xingfeng stood up, looked at the scene carefully, took a deep breath, and said, "Such a beautiful dance performance appears on China Central Television. Do you think it is a waste of resources? If it appears in the Spring Festival Gala, how big a sensation will it cause?"

Xie Xingfeng is always thinking about his work this year - the Spring Festival Gala!

Looking at Wen Yixiao who looked like a goddess in a fairyland on the TV screen, Xie Xingfeng's eyes were slightly red, and he was filled with envy and jealousy, and he was even more stressed.

if……

If the dance program of this year's Spring Festival Gala is not so good, then the Spring Festival Gala directed by him will really be useless!

Even China Satellite TV, which has the least sense of existence, can't compare...

So what’s the point of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala?

You will definitely be sprayed to death by a large number of spectators!

The audience doesn't care what pressures and difficulties your directing team has. Anyway, they only saw you. This year's Spring Festival Gala is not as good as having you in spring and summer, not as good as tomorrow's idols, not as good as rural life, not even as good as the cultural Central Plains...

Then Xie Xingfeng's plan to use the Spring Festival Gala director to further establish his celebrity status and connections in the industry came to nothing.

After hearing Xie Xingfeng's words, Zhang Huizhong's eyes were full of envy. He took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions. His eyes still did not leave Wen Yixiao in the picture. Wen Yixiao's movements and movements were filled with breathtaking beauty: "Wen Yixiao's first Once he has brought out his temperament so perfectly, this time Wen Yixiao is going to explode again."

Xie Xingfeng and Li Chi both nodded in agreement.

Many fans and viewers have always called Wen Yixiao a little fairy, and her cool and ethereal temperament is like a fairy descending to earth.

However, Wen Yixiao has never integrated her unique temperament into her performances.

At this time, the dance on the TV screen can be said to have perfectly brought out Wen Yixiao's own temperament, and with the help of dance choreography and underwater environment lighting, Wen Yixiao truly turned into a fairy, a goddess...

The big bosses who were used to seeing handsome men and beautiful women in the industry were all shocked at this time, not to mention the many ordinary viewers.

Wen Yixiao will definitely use this to become popular again...

Along with the music, Wen Yixiao's dance also came to an end. The whole person flew through the water, and the ribbons and hair on her body were fluttering together again. Matching Wen Yixiao's perfect appearance and aloof temperament. , this picture is breathtakingly beautiful!

Then, Wen Yixiao slowly disappeared.

Lines of text appeared on the screen, which were detailed records of the God of Heluo!

Xie Xingfeng looked at the TV screen and said thoughtfully: "So, their program uses a dance to express a traditional cultural story? Then Wang Cheng, An Keru, Han Xiao, and Zhu Ziqi will all have performances later?"

Zhang Huizhong nodded: "It should be like this, just like a unit drama. This time, the ratings will definitely skyrocket..."

Xie Xingfeng nodded: "This is inevitable. Tonight, Wenhua Zhongyuan's ratings will not be low. I will make a call when it's over!"

A trace of envy flashed in Li Chi's eyes, and he was thinking that it would be great if he could invite Wang Cheng to the last show again...

…

Magic City.

Shen Shenghui and Qin Yuhai once again stayed in the office and worked overtime together, watching Wenhua Zhongyuan's program broadcast together, wanting to see what Wang Cheng's program was like this time.

After watching Wen Yixiao’s amazing performance...

Qin Yuhai slowly lit a cigarette, looked at Shen Shenghui and said lightly: "Do you think the ratings will be low this time?"

Shen Shenghui shook his head: "The ratings for such a performance will not be low, and even Wen Yixiao will benefit greatly from it. This dance is indeed amazing. However, even if the ratings are not low, it is a fact that Wang Cheng is arrogant to the program team. It has already spread in the circle, and now many TV stations and program teams are afraid to cooperate with him. We have achieved part of our goal."

Qin Yuhai nodded: "Well, have you talked to him? Are you willing to sign a contract?"

Shen Shenghui shook his head again: "I told you, but he ignored me and still didn't want to talk."

Qin Yuhai said with certainty: "Then continue to increase your efforts!"

Shen Shenghui nodded: "Okay, Mr. Qin."

Qin Yuhai looked at the fairy-like Wen Yixiao with a hint of surprise and excitement in his eyes. If he hadn't known about Wen Yixiao's origin, he might have taken action. He asked softly: "What's the news from the program team?" , Wang Cheng wrote a poem and also gave an authentic copy to Wen Yixiao, is it true?"

Shen Shenghui: "According to the information I know, it should be true. I asked five or six people, and they all got the same information. This ancient poem is called Xia Ke Xing. It is said to describe swordsmen in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, which corresponds to the program of the Cultural Central Plains Type! According to people from the program team, Wen Yixiao brought the best pen, ink, paper and inkstone at that time, so Wang Cheng used Wen Yixiao’s pen, ink, paper and inkstone and wrote a copy for Wen Yixiao!"

Qin Yuhai's eyes flickered, he was still upset that he didn't get the authentic inscription of Wang Cheng's humble house.

In the past two days, he attended high-level gatherings in two magic cities and heard several rich collectors talking about Wang Cheng's humble room inscription, and was thinking of ways to include this work in their collections...

If he could get the authentic inscription of Wang Cheng's humble house, he could use it to build relationships with those wealthy people, and perhaps reach some cooperation.

This is the circle!

Not all rich people are collectors, but as long as some are real collectors, then others will become collectors, because only in this way can we have common topics, can we talk about it together, and can we become partners and make money together... …

Wang Cheng just wrote an inscription on a humble house. Because of its super high calligraphy level and the excellence of the inscription itself, it has attracted a lot of attention in literary circles, calligraphy circles, and collection circles.

After all, it is a rare master-level calligraphy work. As long as it can be collected, it will definitely not be a loss in the future, and it may even become a stepping stone to enter different circles.

Now Wang Cheng has written a new work...

Is there any chance of getting it?

Qin Yuhai: "Wang Cheng brought one back himself?"

Shen Shenghui: "According to the news, it is indeed like this. He wrote two paintings on the spot, one in running script and one in cursive script. It is said that the level is very high, but they don't know how high it is! According to the inscription on the humble room, it is speculated that that painting The running script should also be at the level of a master calligraphy, but the cursive script cannot be said for sure.”

"However, it is said that what Wen Yixiao took away at that time was a cursive calligraphy work. It stands to reason that Wen Yixiao would not be ignorant of the goods...but..."

He wanted to say that Wen Yixiao would not be ignorant of the goods and would not take away bad works.

However, Wang Cheng's cursive script is already at the master level, better than the two established masters of cursive script in China. So how can Wang Cheng's cursive script be compared with the only cursive script in the field of domestic calligraphy?

Qin Yuhai also understood what Shen Shenghui meant. He closed his eyes and thought for a while, and then said: "You should find an opportunity to ask Wang Cheng to see if he has any intention to sell. As for the price, we will decide after watching the show. The lowest price is Ten million. Just the top master's running calligraphy is worth this price."

Shen Shenghui felt bitter in his heart. He didn't want to ask Wang Cheng this...

Because he knew that Wang Cheng might be too lazy to pay attention to him.

However, he still agreed: "Okay, Mr. Qin..."

The two of them continued to watch the TV screen, but their minds were not on the TV for the time being.

…

Tuk-tuk-tuk...

There was a knock on the door.

Liu Jie quickly stood up and went to open the door himself. The secretary at the door was standing there holding a report.

Without saying a word, Liu Jie grabbed the report and read it immediately, looking expectant and nervous.

Xiao Qiang and Yu Wenqiao also quickly stood up and ran over in two steps, craning their necks to look over!

Just seeing the first few numbers...

The three of them all showed a smile, but the curve chart made their smiles freeze at the same time...
