MTL - This Star Doesn’t Work Overtime-Chapter 150 148. Eye-popping music income! Wang Cheng is gone

  Chapter 150 148. Enviable music income! Without Wang Cheng, the ratings are shattering! (seeking subscription)

   Mofang Entertainment Headquarters.

   Both Shen Shenghui and Zhang Yupeng reported to Qin Yuhai's office.

  Qin Yuhai leaned on the boss chair, looked at the Huangpu River outside the window, and asked softly, "What has Wang Cheng been doing these days?"

Shen Shenghui immediately replied: "Every day I will call the dormitory manager to ask. These days, he reads and writes in the dormitory in the morning, and when he wakes up at noon, he will go to the Huangpu River with Han Xiao to look at the houses. According to the news feedback, the houses he saw are all It’s priced at around 100 million…”

  Qin Yuhai closed his eyes and asked, "Han Xiao? The judge of Tomorrow's Idol, Han Xiao?"

Shen Shenghui nodded: "Yes, it's her. She has been a judge of the spring and summer program group, and has been chasing Wang Cheng since then. However, Wang Cheng didn't pay much attention to her. However, Han Xiao has always insisted. It's no secret! Mr. Qin, this is also good news for us."

   "Wang Cheng is willing to spend his coat to buy a luxury house here, so he definitely intends to live there for a long time. The possibility of renewing the contract with us will be greatly increased..."

Qin Yuhai nodded: "Well, buying a house is a good sign, and it can be regarded as a **** for him in Shanghai. Han Xiao's identity is not simple, but I have a little friendship with her uncle. If she is really with Wang Cheng , I can use this line to persuade Wang Cheng through Han Xiao! How is your plan going?"

  Shen Shenghui didn't dare to ask more about Han Xiao, who is also someone in the circle who can't be provoked, so he just nodded and said, "It's almost there."

  Qin Yuhai looked at Zhang Yupeng: "How is the discussion over there?"

Zhang Yupeng said, "A lot of directors or variety show directors from major TV stations have come here in the past few days, and they all want to take advantage of the opportunity to sign Wang Cheng to the show. Among them, the most sincere one is Director Zhang Huizhong of Shonan Satellite TV, and Director Wu Tong from Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV, and our acquaintance Director Liu from Dragon TV..."

"The prices they offered were all between 100 million and 130 million. The highest bid was Director Li, 130 million! Zhang Huizhong bid 120 million, and Wu Tong all bid 100 million. The others The bids are all between 80 million and 100 million!"

   "In addition to the price, CCTV also sent an invitation."

  Qin Yuhai asked suspiciously: "Didn't Wang Cheng already reject the invitation to the Spring Festival Gala?"

Zhang Yupeng shook his head: "It's not an invitation to the Spring Festival Gala, but CCTV plans to prepare a traditional cultural program next year. The budget is not high, and it can be regarded as a policy program. I hope to invite Wang Cheng to perform Chinese Kung Fu for the opening performance of the first period. It fits well." Traditional cultural elements. The price is not high, only five million. It’s just an opening performance plus the recording of the first program, and there will be no further cooperation in the future, they can’t afford the price.”

"For their program, five million is already a super high price. According to their plan, their program will invite some big names in the cultural field to participate in this program, and will not invite people from the entertainment industry, so the price is not high. High. They didn't go for the ratings, but just to complete the above policy tasks and promote traditional culture."

Qin Yuhai heard this, opened his eyes, lightened up slightly, and said, "Then you can promise to let him go and win a relationship with CCTV. Don't think about our company just because Wang Cheng rejected the Spring Festival Gala twice. Get in touch with those cultural figures!"

  The entertainment circle, also known as the literary circle, is inextricably linked with cultural people.

Mofang Entertainment has developed in Shanghai for many years, and has a close relationship with many cultural figures in the Yangtze River Delta. Many local cultural celebrities have temporary jobs in Mofang Entertainment and receive wages all year round, but basically they have never come to work. But the role played is no less than that of some big names in the circle.

  If he can take advantage of this opportunity to use Wang Cheng to build relationships with the cultural celebrities in the Beijing circle, Qin Yuhai is absolutely willing, even if he doesn't pay.

  Qin Yuhai asked again: "How is the discussion with Penguin Entertainment?"

Zhang Yupeng immediately said: "In the beginning, Penguin Entertainment still insisted on holding on to the shares of Tomorrow's Idol. They just wanted to pack a contract of 60 million for the remaining performances. If you count three shows, the price for a single show is as high as 20 million." , will be the highest announcement fee for a single performance in our entertainment industry, it is definitely sky-high."

   "However, in the past few days, because of Wang Cheng's departure, the popularity of Tomorrow Idol's program has dropped a lot compared to last week, and the number of followers has also dropped sharply."

   "So, Penguin Entertainment let go a little more. However, they are only willing to sell 0.5% of the shares. We asked for 10%, but the other party refused, and the negotiations have temporarily stalled."

  Shen Shenghui said in a low voice: "They are waiting for the ratings of this episode of Idol of Tomorrow!"

  Zhang Yupeng nodded: "That's right, they spent a lot of resources on Wen Yixiao, Du Wei, Huang Bin, and Pink Age, the flame youth girl, trying to stabilize the ratings as much as possible."

  Qin Yuhai knocked on the table and asked, "What do you expect their ratings to be for this episode?"

Zhang Yupeng smiled and said confidently: "Because they still wanted to wait for Wang Cheng to go back, they didn't change the live broadcast time, and the live broadcast was still at 5 pm! Although Wen Yixiao is super popular with more than 40 million fans, Du Wei has already Touching the super-first-line threshold, there are 29 million fans! There are also five or six of our subordinates Huang Bin, Mo Bailin, and Ma Yunfei..."

   "Pink Age and Blazing Youth are also very popular!"

"However, I predict that the ratings will not exceed 3.5. It is estimated that it may be just after 3 o'clock, or it may not even be 3 o'clock. In this time period, if there are no special explosive and wonderful performances to attract the audience, everyone will I'll stay in front of the TV."

  Shen Shenghui agreed: "Recently, the popularity and discussion of Tomorrow's Idol program group has dropped drastically, which is a manifestation."

Qin Yuhai nodded: "Let's wait, we are not in a hurry. However, don't get too stiff with Penguin Entertainment at that time. My goal is to have 3% to 5% of the shares of Tomorrow Idol. One of the investors The stepping stone of the field is enough."

  Zhang Yupeng: "Okay, we have a measure!"

  Qin Yuhai: "By the way, how much has Wang Cheng's work sold?"

  Zhang Yupeng didn't speak.

Shen Shenghui immediately reported: "Mr. Qin, Wang Cheng's nunchaku once again broke the weekly sales record. As of this morning, the sales volume has exceeded 60 million! The highest Jiucao Gangmu has exceeded 95 million. The most It can break through 100 million in two weeks, making it the fastest work to break through 100 million."

  Qin Yuhai closed his eyes again, and asked lightly, "How much is his total sales?"

Shen Shenghui said in a low voice: "More than 580 million. With Wang Cheng's sales, it must be the top share. If you can get 80% of the sales, you can get more than 400 million in income, and you can pay the full tax. Two or three billion..."

  Hoo...

  Qin Yuhai took a deep breath to calm himself down.

  Shen Shenghui saw Qin Yuhai's greed for the money, and said in a low voice, "President Qin, maybe we don't need to recognize the supplementary agreement that Wang Cheng signed with Liu Jinfeng before..."

  Qin Yuhai opened his eyes instantly, stared at Shen Shenghui and said, "Don't say such things again."

  Shen Shenghui nodded immediately: "Yes, Mr. Qin!"

Qin Yuhai said seriously: "With Wang Cheng, the promises made must be fulfilled. You can arrange any job for him that you think is ok, but you can't break the contract and break the law with him. I want to understand, he has a kind of extreme paranoia Obsessive-compulsive, don't want to break the contract, but if we break the contract with him first, then he will definitely react!"

  Shen Shenghui and Zhang Yupeng complained in their hearts at the same time.

   Anyway, they can't understand this extreme obsessive-compulsive disorder.

but…

  They also knew that anyway, they just didn't want to leave Wang Cheng with the excuse of breaking the contract and breaking the law.

  Shen Shenghui said seriously: "Yes, Mr. Qin, I will remember."

  Qin Yuhai lay on the chair again, closed his eyes and said, "We can only get less than one-tenth of this money, and there are more than 40 million, which is not too small!"

  Just looking at the amount, Wang Cheng’s music works alone contributed more than 40 million yuan in profits to the company, which is indeed not a small amount. In this era when the Chinese music scene is dying, it can even be said to be a very high income from music works.

   Moreover, this is not all of this year, it is just more than two months of income. If there is no accident in the future, Rubik's Cube Entertainment can harvest at least 100 million in income from Wang Cheng's music works.

but…

  Based on this calculation, Wang Cheng can earn 800 million, or even more than 900 million in music sales...

  Qin Yuhai thought of this and took another deep breath to calm himself down.

   Otherwise, he was really afraid that he would get angry and find a killer to assassinate Liu Jinfeng to vent his anger.

  Shen Shenghui and Zhang Yupeng saw that Qin Yuhai was in a bad mood, so they were silent and dared not speak.

  Qin Yuhai was silent for a few seconds, and said lightly: "Okay! That's it! Now the company's focus is still on negotiating with Penguin Entertainment, which is related to the company's development strategy for the next ten years."

   Zhang Yupeng was in charge of this matter, so he immediately nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Qin!"

  Qin Yuhai added: "The issue of Wang Cheng's contract renewal is even more important. The plan should be produced as soon as possible. This is related to the company's development strategy for the next 30 years."

  Shen Shenghui immediately nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Qin!"

  ...

   The time of the week.

  Wang Cheng seems to have returned to the leisure time he had rested for half a month after the end of spring and summer with you!

  Read books, write and write every day, take a walk, go for a run, stroll around the strange magic city, look at the familiar Huangpu River, go to the library...

   Cozy and comfortable.

  Han Xiao rushed back to Nanyue Tomorrow Idol Program Group on the third day.

However, she also took Wang Cheng to look at seven or eight houses, and Wang Cheng took a fancy to one of them, which is located in the Daping floor of Tangyuan, which is dominated by rich people. The total value is more than 110 million, and the area is more than 350. Flat house!

  Of course, Wang Cheng can't afford it now, and he hasn't made an agreement with the agent. He believes that such an expensive mansion cannot be sold in a day or two. When the share from Penguin Music arrives in the account, the house should still be...

   If it really sells during this time.

  Wang Cheng doesn't care either!

   Just find another set.

  At lunch time.

  Zhang Hanwen went back to the dormitory cafeteria to eat with Wang Cheng, and said, "Tomorrow the idol will broadcast live again in the afternoon, and the live broadcast time is still at 5 o'clock, do you want to watch it?"

  Wang Cheng shook his head, expressing that he didn't want to watch it.

Zhang Hanwen smiled and said: "I have made an appointment with other trainees, and we will watch it together in the afternoon. They all like Wen Yixiao's performance, and the first performance of the two girl groups Pink Age and Flame Youth in China! You Do you know Pink Age and Flame Youth?"

  Wang Cheng shook his head, expressing that he didn't know and wasn't interested.

Zhang Hanwen immediately said: "Hahaha, you will know as soon as I say it. They are the few who rushed to the stage to hug and interact with you when you performed last time. The four seem to be two-dimensional, and they are from the island country. The flame youth girl group, and the others are the pink era of Bangguo."

  Wang Cheng raised his eyebrows, but he remembered those girls, and he also remembered that Huang Bin and Mo Bailin had mentioned that they were the pink age and flame youth girl group...

Zhang Hanwen smiled and said: "You don't go online, so I don't know. The last time you avoided the steps of their interaction on the stage, it has been edited into an emoticon package, which is everywhere, very funny! I heard that in other countries in Southeast Asia The country is also very hot..."

  Wang Cheng still ate, but he was also listening to what Zhang Hanwen had to say.

Zhang Hanwen: "In the past few days, Rubik's Cube Entertainment has been integrating our resources, and Sister Hua has officially become my exclusive agent. Sister Hua said that she is applying to the company for the resources for my official debut, but there is no right now. Dongxing Entertainment's artists are not very friendly, let me wait."

   "I said I'm not in a hurry. Anyway, I'm busy studying and practicing every day, so I don't panic at all. I think I'm much better now than I was a month ago..."

  This is progress with purpose and under pressure. Zhang Hanwen feels that the effect of his practice during this period is similar to the sum of the effects of the previous two years as a trainee, and he has made rapid progress.

  Zhang Hanwen glanced at Wang Cheng, and then said in a low voice: "I heard from Sister Hua that the company may send you an exclusive agent."

  Wang Cheng said lightly: "Follow them."

  Although, he doesn't think he needs an agent.

  However, it doesn't matter to him if the company wants to arrange an agent, as long as he doesn't disturb his work and rest time.

  Zhang Hanwen also talked about some gossip about Mofang Entertainment's integration of Dongxing Entertainment's resources.

  Wang Cheng also listened silently for a while, then got up and went back to the dormitory after eating: "I'll go back first."

  Zhang Hanwen smiled and said, "Okay, go take a nap, goodbye..."

   Wave goodbye.

  Wang Cheng went back to the dormitory, picked up a brush and wrote a few words, then fell down to sleep leisurely.

  After eating, Zhang Hanwen quickly ran back to the training base, and made an appointment with others to watch the live broadcast of tomorrow's idol at five o'clock!

  …

  Southern Guangdong Province.

  Everyone in the Tomorrow Idol program group is extremely nervous.

  The live broadcast is about to start.

  It's a little more nervous than when they first broadcast live at 5 o'clock.

  Guo Shouxin called the person in charge of publicity to ask about the situation: "How is the public opinion now? How popular is our program?"

The person in charge of publicity immediately replied: "It's still about the same. The overall popularity and number of topics of our show has dropped by more than 70% compared to the same time last week! This is also because of the blessings of the two girl groups Pink Age and Flame Youth. , otherwise it will drop even more.”

   "Although Wen Yixiao has occupied the top spot in the past two days, the popularity and topic volume are more than 80% lower than that of Wang Cheng in the same period last week..."

"Many viewers said that without Wang Cheng, they didn't want to watch our live broadcast so urgently. If they want to watch Wen Yixiao, the Pink Age, and Flame Youth, they can watch the replay after the Penguin video is online! It won't be on May Watch the live broadcast at one o'clock!"

   "The super high ratings of the first two episodes made many people give up some important things and stay in front of the TV in order to watch Wang Cheng's live broadcast. Now these people may be lost..."

  Guo Shouxin nodded, with a solemn expression: "Continue to pay attention, and report any situation at any time."

  The person in charge of publicity turned and left.

  Liu Jiahui looked at the footage of the live broadcast that had already started, and said in a low voice, "I just hope it doesn't drop too much! What's the ratings for the broadcast now?"

  Guo Shouxin: "I don't know, I haven't delivered it yet!"

   As soon as the voice fell, the staff opened the door of the office and walked in, anxiously handing a report to Guo Shouxin: "Director Guo, take a look!"

  Guo Shouxin immediately took it over to have a look, and Liu Jiahui hurriedly got up and came over to look at the data!

  Seeing the numbers on the report, the expressions of the two of them changed drastically at the same time...

  Guo Shouxin looked at the staff and asked seriously: "Is the number correct?"

  The staff nodded and said with certainty: "I've been right a few times, that's right..."

  Guo Shouxin took a deep breath, waved his hand, and told the staff to leave. He sat on the chair heavily, and smiled wryly, "I didn't expect it to be so much lower than we expected..."

  Liu Jiahui also had a serious face, his eyes were full of thoughts, thinking about what to do next.

  Just the ratings of the broadcast, they can see the approximate.

  Last week's opening rating was over 2 o'clock!

  And this week, it dropped directly to only 1.5…

  The decline is huge.

  Beyond the expectation and imagination of the two of them.

  They expected that the broadcast would be a good start in 1.8.

   Unexpectedly, it is only 1.5 now!

  Whether the ratings of this live broadcast can get 3 points is a question!

because!

  Wen Yixiao and Du Wei are not as terrifying as Wang Cheng, and it is impossible to increase the ratings by themselves.

  Although Pink Age and Flame Youth gained considerable popularity on the Internet after hype, it was the first live performance in China after all. The audience base was not too high, and it was absolutely impossible to increase the ratings too much.

  If the final highest ratings don’t even reach 3 points…

   The two looked at each other, both a little afraid to think.

  However, the live broadcast has already started.

  They can't do anything now, they can only watch the show here, and hope the ratings don't drop too much!

  Liu Jiahui looked at the phone, and wanted to call Lei Zhenzong directly several times, but thought that this was just the ratings of the first broadcast, and the final ratings had not yet come out, so he could only wait patiently.

  …

  Live live.

Wen Yixiao was sitting in the contestant's seat, exuding a demure air all over her body, and was a bit out of tune with the lively scene around her. She looked at the Pink Age and Flaming Youth not far away, and then looked at Han Xiao who had already sat down on the stage. Seeing Han Xiao talking and laughing with Feng Tang, there was a halo in his eyes.

  The gossip teammate could roughly guess Wen Yixiao's thoughts, and said in a low voice: "I heard that Han Xiao stayed in the magic capital for three days before returning. If the program team hadn't urged her, she might not have come back."

  Song Xue reached out and rubbed the head of her nosy teammate, telling her to shut up.

The gossip teammate smiled, then changed his tone, and said, "Teacher Feng Tang is very popular now. The new song has been released for three days, and the sales volume has exceeded 20 million. It is his best-selling work in these years... It's a pity, what a pity. When it comes to Wang Cheng, the three newcomers, Little Fairy and Du Wei, you are so crushed that you cannot see your shadow."

   "Wang Cheng's weekly sales are 60 million, Little Fairy's weekly sales are more than 37 million, and Du Weiyi's weekly sales are more than 31 million!"

  Song Xue looked at a girl in black in the auditorium and said, "Look, Zhu Ziqi is here."

Several people were slightly surprised. They looked at the girl in black in the auditorium. She was covered in black, with long straight black hair, a black dress, and small black leather shoes. She looked very quiet and had a slightly mature appearance. She also has a sister-in-law temperament, chatting and laughing with Chen Hao and Xiao Daohong next to her.

  The gossip teammate looked at Zhu Ziqi and said in a low voice: "She didn't come to watch the performance of Tomorrow's Idol live, why did she come this time, hmph, she's defeated."

  Wen Yixiao said lightly: "Although we won, Zhu Ziqi's strength is not weak, don't underestimate her."

  The gossip teammate let out a cry, but still looked at Zhu Ziqi disliked, and said in a low voice: "Looking at her mature appearance, those who didn't know would think she was in her twenties, but she was actually only twenty."

   Coincidentally, Zhu Ziqi also looked over, and met Wen Yixiao and the others' eyes for a while, without showing any weakness, and nodded and smiled at Wen Yixiao and the others.

  Wen Yixiao also smiled at Zhu Ziqi, like a good friend she hasn't seen for a while.

  However, the two are rivals in Shonan Satellite TV, and there is no friendship in private.

  Zhu Ziqi lost to Wen Yixiao, but the gap was not too great.

Zhu Ziqi also relied on a variety show to accumulate more than 10 million fans and step into the first-line threshold. Even without the blessing of tomorrow's idol stage, her number of fans has exceeded 18 million during this period. Two music works, and then put on a variety show to hype and operate, the super first-line coffee position is stable.

  Its own strength has also been recognized by many professionals in the industry.

Without Wen Yixiao and Wang Cheng, Zhu Ziqi would definitely be the most eye-catching rookie trainee this year. It is inevitable that he will win the championship in tomorrow's idol. With the support of the popularity of tomorrow's idol stage, popular fans will not lose to the current Wen Yixiao too many.

Unfortunately…

I met Wen Yixiao who was eliminated, and then I met Wang Cheng in Tomorrow Idol, which stole too much traffic and attention. Now the number of fans is less than 20 million, which is not much different from the previous Wen Yi Akatsuki has opened a great distance.

  So, Zhu Ziqi can be said to have disappeared during this period of time. Today's appearance in the auditorium of Idol of Tomorrow is her first public appearance after being eliminated by Wen Yixiao.

   At this point, the show officially begins.

  Wen Yixiao greeted a few teammates and set off to the backstage.

  The other trainees made way for them.

  Huang Bin and Mo Bailin stood up, then watched them leave and sat down again, everyone's faces were full of apprehension.

The agent beside him, Chen Xiaoyong, encouraged him in a low voice: "Huang Bin, don't be nervous, you can just perform as normal as in practice later. Don't you still trust Mr. Sun Gang's level? He has been studying with Wang Cheng for so long , is already a gold-medal dancer in the industry, and this performance that I have carefully choreographed for you this time is absolutely no problem."

   "Huang Bin, wait a minute, you are the lead singer, don't be nervous!"

  Huang Bin and the others nodded, took deep breaths, and forced a smile to relax themselves.

   This is the first time they performed alone on a big stage like Tomorrow Idol, and it was a live performance, and they had to sing for real. It would be a lie to say that they are not nervous.

  However, several people are also constantly cheering themselves up.

  Because they know that they cannot rely on Wang Cheng forever. Wang Cheng said that they will not make a group debut with them, so they will make an independent debut soon, and then they will have to rely on themselves.

so…

  They know that this is a test for them, it is also an exercise, and it is a hurdle that must be crossed.

   After crossing over, it will be a transformation, and in the future, you will be able to take charge of yourself gradually...

   If you can’t get over it, it will be very difficult in the future.

   Several people encouraged each other and were ready at any time.

  Among the auditorium...

  Zhu Ziqi sat with Chen Hao, Xiao Daohong and other contestants who were eliminated from other programs.

  Zhu Ziqi watched Wen Yixiao and the others walk out of the stage, and said in a low voice, "Wen Yixiao has made great progress during this period."

  Chen Hao smiled and said, "That's right, Ziqi, don't be pulled too far by her."

  Zhu Ziqi smiled without saying a word, her eyes full of confidence.

  She has almost disappeared during this time, but she has not been idle. She is also practicing in retreat, and her improvement is also great. Because she is too tired, she has rested for a few days, so she came to watch the performance.

   Otherwise, she didn't bother to come here.

   She’s either on stage or she’s not there.

  She will definitely not be just a spectator!

  This time, it's purely to relax and join in the fun.

  Zhu Ziqi: "Unfortunately, I couldn't see Wang Cheng's performance."

  Xiao Daohong: "That's right, we didn't even expect Wang Cheng to leave! We heard that he had already rested after returning to his magic."

Chen Hao smiled, and a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes: "No matter how powerful you are, so what? It's not at the mercy of capital, Mofang Entertainment is not comparable to Dongxing Entertainment. He must have offended the top management of Mofang Entertainment, and they want to suppress Give him a moment, let him be honest..."

  Xiao Daohong did not comment on this and remained silent.

  Zhu Ziqi glanced at Chen Hao, but did not speak.

  Because she knew something, obviously not what Chen Hao said.

  However, she would not argue with Chen Hao here, so she kept silent and watched Wen Yixiao's performance on the stage.

   "Ziqi, what's your phone number? I'll treat you tonight, together with Xiao Daohong, and a few other friends, all trainees we debuted together this year!"

   Chen Hao smiled at Zhu Ziqi.

  Zhu Ziqi smiled and said, "I didn't bring the phone, next time."

  The smile on Chen Hao's face gradually subsided, and he said casually: "Okay, next time!"

  He knew that Zhu Ziqi was not interested in him...

  As the rich second generation in the Beijing circle and a powerful newcomer under Jingtian Entertainment, Chen Hao also has his own pride. If people ignore him, he will not be a licking dog.

  Zhu Ziqi watched Wen Yixiao's performance for a while, then took out her earphones and stuffed them into her ears, clicked on the Penguin Music player, and started playing the songs she liked to listen to recently. On the playlist were all Wang Cheng's works.

  Xiao Daohong whispered in Chen Hao's ear: "Hey, didn't you get the call?"

   Chen Hao glared at Chen Hao: "I can't afford this!"

  Xiao Daohong asked in a low voice: "Wen Yixiao, can you afford it?"

  Chen Hao shut up, he can't afford to provoke him!

  Wen Yixiao’s performance ended and she received a round of applause. It was still a new song and a high-level dance performance. In addition to Wen Yixiao’s good looks and temperament, it was definitely a top-notch on-site enjoyment, and the applause was very warm.

  Sitting in the middle, the four people in the Pink Age all looked serious.

  Lisa said in a low voice: "Their performance standards are still very high, we must work hard later."

  Pei Zhuyan: "It's good to play steadily, don't be nervous! We and her are not in the same style, and there is no direct competition."

  Both Ginny and Lin Xi nodded in understanding, but they were still a little nervous.

  They knew that this was their first public performance in China. If they failed, it would be very difficult to open up the Chinese market in the future.

  However, Lisa looked at the stage again and whispered: "I still miss the time when I watched the performance in the first row! Now I don't have that kind of expectation..."

  When the other three heard this, they all nodded in agreement, with complicated expressions on their faces.

Although, Wang Cheng made them extremely embarrassed three times. The last time the three of them rushed to the stage to interact with each other, but Wang Cheng slid to avoid them. Now this picture has spread all over Southeast Asia, even Europe and the United States. They edited into emoticons!

  They also had a lot of emoticons in the past few years, but they were basically funny and good-looking. Only this time when they came to China and watched Wang Cheng's performance, they turned into embarrassing emoticons, or twice.

But…

  They didn't hate Wang Cheng at all in their hearts.

   On the contrary, I am no longer in the first row, and I can't see Wang Cheng's performance, and I feel a little empty in my heart, as if my biggest expectation is gone.

  Pei Zhuyan clapped his hands hastily: "Okay, don't think about it, get ready for the performance!"

  Lisa, Ginny, and Lin Xi also hurriedly cleared up their emotions, knowing that the performance was coming soon, so they couldn't think of messy things that would affect their state.

  However, when they thought of the shock of watching Wang Cheng perform nunchaku at the closest distance last week, the scene was still vivid in their minds!

  When they choreographed this time, they also wanted to find that feeling, but unfortunately they couldn't find it, or they couldn't achieve it!

  The four flame youths not far away also watched Wen Yixiao's performance very quietly. Compared with the lively and happy time when they first came last week, it seems that they have changed four people.

   Haruko Nakamori said softly: "If Wang Chengjun doesn't come back, then our performance is over and we can go to Shanghai for a trip!"

  Amuro Chiyuki: "Good idea!"

  Hanazawa Shizuka said expectantly: "I really want to watch Wang Chengjun's performance again. It's the first time I have encountered that kind of close-up shock!"

  Majou Ishihara: "That's right, the performances of the European and American superstars we've seen didn't have such a strong on-site impact...Unfortunately, we can't learn from it either!"

The four of them only watched Wang Cheng's live performance once, and they were a little bit unsatisfied. At the same time, they were very envious. They wanted to learn the charm of stage performances, but they couldn't. They didn't have that kind of strength, nor did they have that kind of natural superstar aura. .

  The manager next to him, Komura, complained: "Hey, don't you see me here? Discuss in front of me and run away after the show is over? Did I agree?"

  The four of them smiled and remained silent, apparently not taking the words of the manager Komura seriously.

  The show continues!

  The level of performances is still the same as before, and the performance of each player is remarkable.

  The scores given by Xu Chaohua reflected it. Wen Yixiao got 98 points again, the others were around 90 points, and Du Wei got 95 points.

  The last performances of Huang Bin and Mo Bailin were also above the standard, scoring 92 points.

Although a few people were a little nervous, and the connection between a few movements was relatively stiff, they did not make any mistakes after all. Huang Bin's singing skills were not weaker than Ma Yunfei's. Excited, more self-confidence.

   However, they were still a little disappointed, because they were used to enjoying the crazy reactions and applause from the audience with Wang Cheng before, but now they are gone!

But…

  When Guo Shouxin and Liu Jiahui in the background got the latest ratings data form again, all the confidence in their hearts disappeared, and there was nothing left.

   "Without Wang Cheng, it would be difficult for others to rise up!"

Guo Shouxin said in a hoarse voice: "Wen Yixiao only raised the ratings to 2.2, then dropped all the way to 1.7, and Du Wei raised it to 2.0, Huang Bin and his performance ended, and only 1.7 remained. It's... During this time period, it is really difficult for ordinary people to break the upper limit of the number of people."

Liu Jiahui also heaved a long sigh: "Yes, not everyone is Wang Cheng... can break the upper limit of the time period! In this time period, Wen Yixiao can raise the ratings to 2.2, which is already very good. The pink behind I don't know if Times and Flame Youth can bring surprises!"

Although this is said, Liu Jiahui and Guo Shouxin both know that the current ratings are only 1.7. Even if Flame Youth and Pink Age are popular again, it is impossible to raise the ratings to 4.3 last week, or even 3.0. possible!

  They are not Wang Cheng!

  They are outsiders after all, and this is their first public performance in China. Their fan base is not even as good as Du Wei's, let alone Wen Yixiao, let alone Wang Cheng.

so…

  Liu Jiahui directly faxed several data reports to Penguin Entertainment headquarters.

Then…

  Pink Age and Flame Youth are on stage.

  The atmosphere at the scene became warmer.

I have to say that Pink Age deserves to be an international girl group that entered Europe and the United States. There are more than 80 million fans in Europe and the United States. The lyrics are very European and American, and there are many star artists and trainees on the scene, so the scene is suddenly lively.

  Lisa's choreography is of a very high level, combining the current European and American popular styles with the styles brought by Huaxia Wang Cheng, the stage effect is very dazzling!

  The performance is over, the applause is like thunder!

  Wen Yixiao applauded softly, and said softly: "They are very strong, everyone is very open, and their style is different from ours."

Gossip teammates nodded: "Can you break into the European and American markets? How can you succeed if you don't let it go. I listened to a few European and American champion singles that have been very popular in the past two years. The melody and rhythm are very good, but after checking the lyrics translation, all They had to be mosaiced, and I was so scared that I didn’t dare to listen.”

  Wen Yixiao and Song Xue smiled.

  After the pink era stepped down, it was the flame youth girl.

The flame youth girl is another style, with obvious two-dimensional elements, the music style has obvious island country animation style, and the stage style is also very gorgeous, attracting the screams of more young traffic stars and trainees. After all, they all I like to watch island country animation, basically I have seen the performance of the flame youth four!

  The performance ended, and the flame youth also won a round of applause...

   This gave Guo Shouxin and Liu Jiahui some hope in the background.

  The on-site response was enthusiastic.

  The ratings should be good too, right?

But…

   After waiting for a while, the scene is over and the show is over.

  The two of them didn't leave either. When the data arrived, Guo Shouxin grabbed it!

   Liu Jiahui also hurriedly stretched his neck to look at the highest number, only seeing a 2, Liu Jiahui felt dizzy.

   There is no doubt that the highest ratings must not break 3!

  Liu Jiahui took a closer look and saw that the highest number was only 2.3...

  Pink Age and Flame Youth, two top Asian girl groups performed together, only increased the ratings by 0.6, which is almost the same as Wen Yixiao alone.

  The audience rating of 2.3 is 0.7 short of their expected minimum of 3.0!

   Compared with last week's highest ratings of 4.3, it dropped by a full 2 ​​points!

   This drop rate...

  It is comparable to the rapid descent from the top of the mountain, and it is almost the same as when Wang Cheng left the Eastern Star.

   Thinking that I might become another negative teaching material after becoming the Eastern Star.

  Guo Shouxin and Liu Jiahui both shook their heads and refused at the same time...

   After dismissing the staff, Liu Jiahui immediately sent the final data summary to the group headquarters, and said to Guo Shouxin: "I'll call Mr. Lei..."

  Guo Shouxin held the phone and whispered, "Shall I call Wang Cheng?"

  Liu Jiahui nodded: "Yes, it would be best to confirm with Wang Cheng first. But, don't get hopeful."

  Guo Shouxin immediately called Wang Cheng.

But…

   Beep beep beep beep!

   No answer.

  Guo Shouxin smiled wryly and shook his head, as expected, he couldn't hold out hope.

   And Liu Jiahui has already called Lei Zhenzong: "Mr. Lei, I sent the summary data, have you seen it?"

  Lei Zhenzong was sitting in the office at this time, and Yu Jinghong was sitting opposite, and said to the phone: "Boss Yu and I saw it. Why is the drop so large?"

Liu Jiahui seriously analyzed: "Wang Cheng's departure is the biggest factor, followed by the time period! Our five o'clock live broadcast has a great impact. In fact, this is the normal phenomenon of the five o'clock live broadcast. Not everyone can be like Wang Cheng." Changing everyone’s routine of watching TV.”

   "We can get the highest ratings of 2.3 in this time period, which is not a failure. If we put it in the eight o'clock file, it should be a little higher!"

  What he didn't say in his mind was that if Wang Cheng were to perform live at 8 o'clock, the ratings might have broken 5 last week!

  The decline is too scary...

  Lei Zhenzong and Yu Jinghong looked at the data and didn't know what to say for a while.

because.

   It also far exceeded their expectations.

  They thought about 3.0, the lowest thought was 2.5, but they never thought it would be lower than 2.5!

   After all, last week they got a miraculous rating of 4.3. The audience base is huge. How could it be possible to drop to 2.3 all of a sudden?

   How many viewers is this lost?

   They were also attracted by the ratings of 4.3 in the previous period and 4.1 in the previous period!

   Forgot, in the past few years, they also spent a lot of resources, and the highest ratings in the prime time at 8 o'clock failed to break 3!

   Lei Zhenzong was silent for a while, and then said: "Okay, we know."

  Liu Jiahui hurriedly said: "Boss Lei, my suggestion is to bring Wang Cheng back as soon as possible, so as not to let him miss next week's performance. Otherwise, the loss will be even greater."

  Lei Zhenzong: "Okay, I will try my best!"

   Finished speaking.

Lei Zhenzong hung up the phone and said to Yu Jinghong who was opposite: "The ratings have dropped too much. Qin Yuhai will definitely know, so we are very passive. They want 10% of the shares, which is impossible. I I went to the group headquarters twice, and the maximum I can get is four points, we can sell up to four shares of Tomorrow Idol, and I can give up five points at my own discretion, any more is impossible, the pressure is too great."

  Yu Jinghong: "Qin Yuhai is just a lion, he knows that we can't give ten points of shares!"

Lei Zhenzong said solemnly: "But, we don't have time to continue the stalemate with him now. You can clean up later, go to Shanghai again, talk to Qin Yuhai, and get it done as soon as possible. It's best to only give up four shares. It should not exceed five points at most, if it exceeds five points, forget it, and we will bear the losses in the future, as if there was no Wang Cheng in the first place."

  Yu Jinghong nodded: "Okay, I'll book the ticket now!"

  After speaking, Yu Jinghong got up and prepared to leave.

   Lei Zhenzong suddenly asked again: "By the way, Director Xie of the Spring Festival Gala called me and said that he extended an invitation to Wen Yixiao, but Wen Yixiao refused?"

  Yu Jinghong froze for a moment, then said: "Yes, Wen Yixiao refused!"

Lei Zhenzong was full of doubts: "Why? The Spring Festival Gala is the top resource, and others can't grab it. Why did she refuse? Xie Xingfeng said that Wen Yixiao is very important to him in this year's Spring Festival Gala. I hope we can convince Wen Yi Xiao participated."

  Yu Jinghong smiled bitterly: "I have persuaded Wen Yixiao several times, but she insisted on refusing! I can't say anything. She said that the rehearsal and performance of the Spring Festival Gala took too long, and she didn't have so much time to waste."

   Lei Zhenzong was speechless after hearing this: "She is only twenty years old, what makes her so urgent? Can't you talk about it?"

  Yu Jinghong: "I can only try to persuade, but the hope is not great."

Lei Zhenzong said with some amusement after hearing this: "Xie Xingfeng was also unlucky this year. He was rejected by Wang Cheng when he invited him, and then he came to invite him personally, but was still rejected by Wang Cheng. Then, he invited Wen Yixiao again, but was rejected again... If It's me, I'm probably going to be **** off."

Yu Jinghong also nodded and smiled wryly: "Who says it's not? Wang Cheng is the hottest newcomer this year. Every performance is very popular, and his fans have already exceeded 70 million. If he can't go to the Spring Festival Gala, it will be a loss for the Spring Festival Gala. Wen Yixiao He is a newcomer second only to Wang Cheng, with impeccable appearance, temperament and strength, and his fans are already close to the threshold of super giants. If Wen Yixiao did not attend the Spring Festival Gala, then this year's Spring Festival Gala may be complained by many people as boring! "

   "Director Xie must have a headache."

  Lei Zhenzong: "You can persuade Wen Yixiao again, Wang Cheng's refusal of the Spring Festival Gala is an opportunity for Wen Yixiao!"

  Yu Jinghong nodded: "Okay! I'll try to persuade you again, but I don't have much hope. I predict that Director Xie may invite Du Wei..."

   Lei Zhenzong thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.

  If both Wang Cheng and Wen Yixiao refuse to go to the Spring Festival Gala, then among the newcomers this year, Xie Xingfeng can only invite Du Wei.

   And Du Wei himself is also a powerful faction, with good looks and temperament. He is among the top trainees, but compared to Wang Cheng and Wen Yixiao, he is weaker in all aspects, and he is definitely qualified for the Spring Festival Gala.

   After finishing speaking, Yu Jinghong turned around and left, and immediately got up to go to Shanghai!

   Lei Zhenzong's face was full of exhaustion.

   buzz buzz...

  The phone rings again.

   Lei Zhenzong picked it up to have a look, saw that it was Manager He from Penguin Music, picked it up and connected it.

Manager He immediately said: "Mr. Lei, Wang Cheng didn't perform this time, nor did he release any new songs. Our user activity has dropped by at least three levels. My suggestion is to let Wang Cheng return to tomorrow's idol stage as soon as possible and continue to release new songs." ..."

  Lei Zhenzong said lightly: "Wang Cheng can't release new songs forever. You will face this situation sooner or later!"

Manager He said helplessly: "Mr. Lei, we know...but now is the best time for us to suppress Qianyi and Aigou. We'd better take advantage of the victory and pursue the situation to establish the dominance of our family in one fell swoop. At that time, Wang Cheng The impact of not releasing songs will be small, and Qianyi and Aigou will never have a chance to stand up."

  Lei Zhenzong took a deep breath, once again felt the importance of Wang Cheng to the group at this time, and said calmly: "I know, I have already sent people to Shanghai to negotiate."

  Manager He: "That's good!"

Snapped.

Lei Zhenzong hung up the phone and looked at the data form sent by the idol tomorrow. The highest audience rating is only 2.3, which is extremely eye-catching, especially compared with last week's report. Compared with the 4.3 figure, it is simply impossible. Into the eye!

  However, he knew that this was not the end.

  Because TV ratings are only part of Penguin Entertainment’s business.

  Online business is actually the main business of Penguin Entertainment.

   Last week, Tomorrow Idol’s video had more than 3.9 billion views, and it was only a short distance from the 4 billion weekly views, which even shocked the Penguin Network Group.

  The result of the investigation by the Idol of Tomorrow program group is that many viewers thought that this was Wang Cheng's last performance in Idol of Tomorrow, so they watched Wang Cheng's nunchaku performance repeatedly, which achieved such an amazing amount of views.

But…

  Today's live performance, there is no Wang Cheng!

  So, how much playback data will there be this week?

   Lei Zhenzong no longer dared to think about it.

   And that's still not all.

  Because, Tomorrow Idol’s performance video will be launched in Southeast Asia.

   Last week, it got more than 1.5 billion views in Southeast Asia...

  Without Wang Cheng this week, how much playback will there be?

  Will it affect the entire Asian strategy?

   Lei Zhenzong still didn't dare to think about it. He could only hope that the situation would be better when Wang Cheng came back.

  However, thinking of the popularity of the two girl groups Pink Age and Flaming Youth in other Asian countries, I feel a little more relaxed.

  ...

   buzz buzz...

  Wang Cheng's phone rang.

  He put down the brush, looked at it, it was Han Xiao calling, picked it up and connected: "Yeah!"

  Han Xiao said happily: "Have you watched the live broadcast of tomorrow's idol?"

  Wang Cheng: "No!"

  Han Xiao: "As expected of you, I like it. Without your performance, the level of excitement has dropped a lot, and I am a little bored."

  Wang Cheng didn't speak.

  Han Xiao: "I've already booked a ticket to Shanghai, and I'll arrive at ten o'clock in the evening. I'll see you tomorrow morning. Do you want to continue looking at the house?"

  Wang Cheng: "Don't read it!"

  Han Xiao: "Oh? Have a definite goal? Is it Tang Yuan's set? I think you have observed this house most carefully."

  Wang Cheng: "Yes!"

  Han Xiao: "Then I'll tell the agency to stay!"

  Wang Cheng: "No need!"

  Han Xiao: "Okay, listen to you. Stop talking, Professor Xu and Producer Liu are here..."

   After finishing speaking, Han Xiao hung up the phone.

  Wang Cheng did not continue to write, but picked up the book and read it.

  At night, Wang Cheng finished dinner alone and went out for a walk.

  Shen Shenghui took Yu Jinghong to the downstairs of the apartment, and met Wang Cheng!

   "Wang Cheng, we meet again..."

  Yu Jinghong smiled and reached out to Wang Cheng.

  Wang Cheng's face was still calm, and he reached out to shake hands with Yu Jinghong, and they fell apart immediately, and then went on for a walk.

  Shen Shenghui hurriedly said: "Wang Cheng, we have negotiated terms with Tomorrow Idol, and you can return to the program group with Mr. Yu to continue performing."

  Yu Jinghong took out a contract from the package: "This is a new contract for you, a super giant contract that matches your status."

But!

  Wang Cheng didn't stop, ignored Shen Shenghui, and didn't look at the contract Yu Jinghong handed over, but said softly: "I'm taking a break now! This is what President Qin promised me..."

  The complexions of both Shen Shenghui and Yu Jinghong became unattractive.

They had just negotiated the conditions, and they also drew up a performance contract for Wang Cheng alone as a super giant. They thought that they would come and inform Wang Cheng, and after signing the contract, it would be over, and Wang Cheng would go back with Yu Jinghong to prepare for the performance. …

  But I didn't expect...

  Wang Cheng doesn't think so.

Break time?

What's the meaning?

  Shen Shenghui stepped forward and asked, "Wang Cheng, what do you mean? What's the rest time?"

  Wang Cheng didn't speak, just walked slowly, ignoring Shen Shenghui.

  Yu Jinghong also followed and asked, "Wang Cheng, how long do you want to rest?"

  Wang Cheng spoke, and said softly: "Two weeks!"

   Two weeks?

  Will you miss the performance of the next idol tomorrow?

  According to the order of tomorrow's idol performances, two teams will be eliminated this week, and next week they will enter the semi-finals where four teams fight each other, and finally the finals!

  If Wang Cheng misses next week's semi-finals, there is a high probability that Huang Bin and Mo Bailin will be eliminated in a one-on-one duel!

  Then when Wang Cheng goes back, what capacity will he perform in?

   Moreover, at that time, there was only the last round of finals left!

  Even if Wang Cheng can perform, it can only be performed for one episode. Penguin Entertainment paid such a huge price for that episode?

  Hoo...

  Yu Jinghong looked at Shen Shenghui, the threat in her eyes was obvious—if Wang Cheng rests for two weeks before going, then there is no need to go, and the contract signed this time will automatically be invalidated.

  The shares of Tomorrow Idol promised to be sold to Rubik’s Cube Entertainment, as well as Wang Cheng’s super giant contract, are automatically invalidated.

  Qin Yuhai's hard work was in vain this time...

  Shen Shenghui saw what Yu Jinghong meant, and followed Wang Cheng and said, "Wang Cheng, do you want to miss two performances? If you go again next week, Huang Bin and the others may all be eliminated. What are you going to do?"

  Wang Cheng said calmly, "I won't miss next week's performance."

ah?

   The two of them froze for a moment, confirming that they had heard correctly.

   Take two weeks off and don't miss next week's show!

   That is, Wang Cheng will report to the program group before the live performance?

But…

   How much time do you have to practice with Huang Bin and Mo Bailin?

  Yu Jinghong's complexion is very ugly...

What she and the program team hope to see is that Wang Cheng will go to the program team to report immediately, and tomorrow will participate in the draw of opponents and titles in the semi-finals next week, and then create new works as before, rehearse with Huang Bin and others for a week, and then use the best state to participate in the show!

  The program group will continue to spend the most resources on Wang Cheng to promote and hype for a week, and gradually restore the previous popularity and topic volume. By then, the ratings should also be directly restored to 4.3...

  They think beautifully.

  However, if Wang Cheng didn’t arrive until the day before the performance!

   That is, I will not create and produce new works.

  This is missing an important hype point, and the audience is missing a huge expectation.

  Of course, maybe the Penguin Concert was the most disappointing!

  The ratings will not be too high...

the most important is.

   At that time, Wang Cheng went to perform in a hurry, and Huang Bin and others were eliminated by the opponent, what should we do?

   It's the semi-finals.

  Wang Cheng's opponent may be Du Wei, or Wen Yixiao, both of which are absolutely powerful opponents.

  The opponent is fully prepared within a week.

  Wang Cheng rested here, arrived before the performance, and then rushed onto the stage!

  How could there be a good performance?

  How could there be a tacit cooperation with teammates?

   If you are eliminated by then...

  Wang Cheng only performed one episode, and it will end automatically.

  Penguin Entertainment paid a huge price and only bought Wang Cheng's first performance, which was an extremely hasty temporary performance...

  Yu Jinghong took another deep breath to calm herself down, and said in a deep voice: "Wang Cheng, you are so hasty and irresponsible, are you afraid of being eliminated?"

  Wang Cheng: "That's my business! This is my request. If you don't agree, please go back."

  Qin Yuhai unilaterally terminated his previous performance contract with Tomorrow Idol, Wang Cheng also felt uncomfortable, so he wanted to rest for an extra week.

  Shen Shenghui said in a deep voice: "Wang Cheng, you don't respect the audience, your teammates, and your own reputation."

  Wang Cheng was silent, too lazy to pay attention to Shen Shenghui.

  Yu Jinghong didn't dare to make a private decision about Wang Cheng, so she called Lei Zhenzong.

  Lei Zhenzong had a headache and said directly: "Ask Guo Shouxin and Liu Jiahui, they are doing shows!"

  Therefore, Yu Jinghong called Guo Shouxin and Liu Jiahui again, the two were together, and heard Yu Jinghong relay Wang Cheng's words...

  Guo Shouxin and Liu Jiahui looked at each other, full of hesitation!

  The price for Wang Cheng to return to tomorrow's idol stage this time is extremely high.

   Not only gave Wang Cheng a huge contract, but also gave up a full five points of tomorrow's idol shares to Rubik's Cube Entertainment.

  If Wang Cheng didn’t report until before the performance, then the performance was mediocre and he was eliminated again...

   Then all these efforts will be in vain...

But!

   There is no Wang Cheng.

  They are completely hopeless.

  The ratings this time woke them up completely.

   It proved one thing, that is, the previous miracle ratings had little to do with their program group itself, and it was almost all the credit of Wang Cheng.

  So, with Wang Cheng, they have hope!

  Guo Shouxin and Liu Jiahui discussed for a minute, and decided to gamble again!

   It’s like changing the live broadcast time for Wang Cheng for the first time, that time they won the bet...

  This time, they also believed that they could win the bet.

   Liu Jiahui solemnly said to Yu Jinghong: "Promise him!"

  Yu Jinghong said seriously: "Liu Jiahui, this is your program group's own decision. When something happens, you will know the consequences."

  Liu Jiahui knew what Yu Jinghong meant.

   At that time, if Wang Cheng's hasty performance is not effective, and may even be eliminated, then Liu Jiahui and Guo Shouxin will be blamed.

  Liu Jiahui said affirmatively: "Mr. Yu, don't worry, we know what we are doing! Just complete the contract with Wang Cheng as soon as possible."

  Yu Jinghong: "Okay!"

hang up the phone.

  Yu Jinghong caught up with Wang Cheng and said, "Wang Cheng, we promise you!"

  Wang Cheng's walking pace still didn't stop.

  However, Shen Shenghui stopped in shock, turned around and stared at Yu Jinghong with wide eyes!

  He couldn't believe that Yu Jinghong would agree to Wang Cheng's outrageous request.
