Cube Entertainment Headquarters.
Both Shen Shenghui and Zhang Yupeng reported to Qin Yuhai's office.
Qin Yuhai leaned on the boss's chair, looked out the window at the Huangpu River, and asked softly: "What has Wang Cheng been doing these days?"
Shen Shenghui immediately replied: "Every day I call the dormitory manager to ask. In the past few days, he reads and writes in the dormitory in the morning. When he gets up at noon, he and Han Xiao go to the Huangpu River to look at houses. According to the feedback, he The houses are all priced around 100 million..."
Qin Yuhai closed his eyes and asked: "Han Xiao? That judge of Tomorrow's Idol, Han Xiao?"
Shen Shenghui nodded: "Yes, that's her. She has been a judge since the spring and summer program, and she has been chasing Wang Cheng since then. However, Wang Cheng didn't pay much attention to her. However, Han Xiao has been insisting. This It’s no secret within the circle! Mr. Qin, this is also good news for us.”
"Wang Cheng is willing to spend his shirt to buy a luxury house here, so he definitely intends to stay there for a long time. The possibility of renewing the contract with us is greatly increased..."
Qin Yuhai nodded: "Well, buying a house is a good sign, and it can be regarded as a tie for him in the Magic City. Han Xiao's identity is not simple, but I have some friendship with an uncle of hers. If she is really together with Wang Cheng , I can use this line to persuade Wang Cheng through Han Xiao! How are you preparing your plan? "
Shen Shenghui did not dare to ask more about Han Xiao. This person was also someone who could not be provoked in the circle. He just nodded and said: "It's almost done."
Qin Yuhai looked at Zhang Yupeng: "How was the discussion over there?"
Zhang Yupeng said: "In the past few days, many heads of major TV stations or variety show directors have come here, and they all want to take advantage of the opportunity to sign Wang Cheng to appear on the show. The most sincere among them are Director Zhang Huizhong of Xiangnan Satellite TV, and Director Wu Tong from Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV, and our acquaintance Director Liu from Dragon TV..."
"The prices they offered were all between 100 million and 130 million. The highest bidder was Director Li, 130 million! Zhang Huizhong bid 120 million, and Wu Tongdu bid 100 million. Others The bids are all between 80 million and 100 million!”
"In addition to the price, CCTV actually also sent an invitation."
Qin Yuhai asked doubtfully: "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. It's CCTV planning to prepare a traditional cultural program next year. The budget is not high and it is a policy program. I hope to invite Wang Cheng to do the opening performance of the first period. He will perform Chinese Kung Fu. 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. We won’t continue to cooperate in the future, and they can’t afford the price.”
"For their program, five million is already a very high price. According to their plan, their program will invite some big names in the cultural field to participate, but will not invite people from the entertainment industry, so the price is not high. High. They are not going there for the ratings, but just to complete the above policy tasks and promote traditional culture."
After hearing this, Qin Yuhai opened his eyes, lit up slightly, and said: "Then you can agree to let him go and build a relationship with CCTV. Don't worry about our company just because Wang Cheng refused the Spring Festival Gala twice. It can still be done. Get in touch with those cultural giants!”
The entertainment circle, also known as the literary and art circle, is inextricably linked to cultural people.
Rubik's Cube Entertainment has been developing in Magic City for many years and has close ties with many cultural figures in the Yangtze River Delta. Many local cultural celebrities have temporary jobs at Rubik's Cube Entertainment and receive wages all year round, but they basically never come to work. But the effect it played was no less than that of some big names in the industry.
If he could use this opportunity to build relationships with Wang Cheng and cultural celebrities in Beijing, Qin Yuhai would absolutely be willing to do so, even without paying him.
Qin Yuhai asked again: "How was the discussion at Penguin Entertainment?"
Zhang Yupeng immediately said: "At the beginning, Penguin Entertainment still refused to let go of the shares of Tomorrow's Idol. It only wanted to give a contract of 60 million for the remaining performances. If you count three performances, the price of a single performance is as high as 20 million. , will be the highest single performance notice fee in our entertainment industry, it is absolutely sky-high."
"However, in the past few days, due to Wang Cheng's departure, the popularity of Tomorrow's Idol has dropped a lot compared to last week, and the number of people following it has also dropped sharply."
"So, Penguin Entertainment relented a little. However, they were only willing to sell 0.5% of the shares. We asked for 10%, but the other party refused, and the negotiations were temporarily deadlocked."
Shen Shenghui whispered: "They are waiting for the ratings of this episode of Tomorrow's Idol!"
Zhang Yupeng nodded: "Yes, they spent a lot of resources on Wen Yixiao, Du Wei, Huang Bin, and Pink Era, 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 this time?"
Zhang Yupeng smiled and said confidently: "Because they still wanted to wait for Wang Cheng to return, they did not change the live broadcast time. It will be live broadcast at 5 p.m.! Although Wen Yixiao is extremely popular with more than 40 million fans, Du Wei has already Touching the threshold of surpassing the first-tier level, we have 29 million fans! We also have Huang Bin, Mo Bailin, Ma Yunfei and five or six of our first-tier affiliates..."
"Pink Era and Flame Youth are also very popular!"
"However, I predict that the ratings will not exceed 3.5, and it may be just after 3 o'clock, or even less than 3 o'clock. During this time period, if there are no special highlights and wonderful performances to attract the audience, we will not I’ll stay in front of the TV.”
Shen Shenghui said in agreement: "The popularity and number of discussions on the Tomorrow Idol program have dropped significantly recently, which is a symptom."
Qin Yuhai nodded: "Then let's wait, we are not in a hurry. However, don't get too stalemate with Penguin Entertainment by then. My goal is 3% to 5% of the shares of Tomorrow's Idol. There is one person who can enter A stepping stone to the market is enough.”
Zhang Yupeng: "Okay, we are measured!"
Qin Yuhai: "By the way, how many sales of Wang Cheng's works have been sold?"
Zhang Yupeng said nothing.
Shen Shenghui immediately reported: "Mr. Qin, Wang Cheng's nunchucks have once again broken the weekly sales record. As of this morning, sales have exceeded 60 million! The highest sales of the Nine Grass Compendium have exceeded 95 million. , it can exceed 100 million in at most two weeks, becoming the fastest sales volume to exceed 100 million."
Qin Yuhai closed his eyes again and asked calmly: "What is his total sales volume?"
Shen Shenghui whispered: "More than 580 million yuan. With Wang Cheng's sales volume, it is definitely the top share. He can get 80% of the sales, more than 400 million yuan in share income, and he can also pay full tax." There are two to three hundred million left..."
call……
Qin Yuhai took a deep breath to calm down.
Shen Shenghui saw Qin Yuhai's greed for the money and whispered: "Mr. Qin, maybe we can not recognize the supplementary agreement that Wang Cheng and Liu Jinfeng signed before..."
Qin Yuhai opened his eyes instantly, glared at Shen Shenghui and said, "Don't say such words again."
Shen Shenghui nodded immediately: "Yes, Mr. Qin!"
Qin Yuhai said seriously: "With Wang Cheng, the promises you make must be fulfilled. You can arrange any job for him that you think is acceptable, but you cannot break the contract or break the law for him. I understand that he has an extremely paranoid attitude." He has obsessive-compulsive disorder and doesn’t want to break the contract, but if we break the contract with him first, he will definitely react!”
Shen Shenghui and Zhang Yupeng complained at the same time.
Anyway, they can't understand this extreme obsessive-compulsive disorder.
but……
They also know that anyway, they just don't want to leave any evidence for Wang Cheng to breach the contract or break the law.
Shen Shenghui said seriously: "Yes, Mr. Qin, I will remember it."
Qin Yuhai lay on the chair again, closed his eyes and said: "We can only get less than one-tenth of this money, but it is more than 40 million, which is not too small!"
Simply looking at the amount, Wang Cheng's music works alone contributed more than 40 million in profits to the company, which is indeed not a small amount. In this era of declining Chinese music circles, it can even be said to be a very high income from music works.
Moreover, this is not all this year, it is just more than two months of income. If nothing unexpected happens in the future, Rubik's Cube Entertainment can earn 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 revenue...
When Qin Yuhai thought of this, he took another deep breath to calm himself down.
Otherwise, he was really afraid that if he got angry, he would 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 remained silent and dared not speak.
Qin Yuhai was silent for a few seconds and said calmly: "Okay! That's it. The company's focus now is still on the negotiation with Penguin Entertainment, which is related to the company's development strategy for the next ten years."
Zhang Yupeng was responsible for 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 thirty years."
Shen Shenghui immediately nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Qin!"
…………
This week.
Wang Cheng seemed to have returned to the leisurely time he had spent half a month resting after the end of spring and summer with you!
Every day I read books, write, take a walk, go for a run, stroll around a strange city, look at the familiar Huangpu River, go to the library...
Cozy and comfortable.
Han Xiao rushed back to the South Guangdong Tomorrow Idol program group on the third day.
However, she also took Wang Cheng to look at seven or eight houses. Wang Cheng took a fancy to one of them, a large flat in Tangyuan, which is mainly populated by rich people. The total value is more than 111 million and the area is more than 350 yuan. Flat house!
Of course, Wang Cheng can't afford it now, and he hasn't made any agreement with the agent. He believes that such an expensive mansion cannot be sold in a day or two. When Penguin Music's share is gradually received, this house should still be there... …
If it is really sold during this period.
Wang Cheng doesn’t care!
Just find another set.
At lunch time.
Zhang Hanwen went back to the dormitory cafeteria to eat with Wang Cheng and said, "Tomorrow Idol will broadcast live again in the afternoon. The broadcast time is still at five o'clock. Do you want to watch it?"
Wang Cheng shook his head and said he didn't want to see it.
Zhang Hanwen smiled and said: "I made an appointment with other trainees to watch together in the afternoon. They all liked Wen Yixiao's performance, and it was also the first performance of the two major girl groups Pink Era and Flame Youth in China! You Do you know about the Pink Age and Flame Youth?”
Wang Cheng shook his head, saying he didn't know and had no interest.
Zhang Hanwen immediately said: "Hahaha, you will know it as soon as I tell you. They are the ones who rushed to the stage to hug and interact with you when you performed last time. The four of them look two-dimensional at first glance, and they are from the island country. The Flame Youth Girl Group and several others are from the pink era of baseball country.”
Wang Cheng's eyebrows moved, but he remembered those girls, and also remembered that he heard Huang Bin and Mo Bailin talk about them being part of the Pink Era and Flame Youth girl groups...
Zhang Hanwen smiled and said: "You are not online, so you don't know. The last time you avoided their interactions on the stage, it has been edited into emoticons, which are everywhere. It's very funny! I heard that in other countries in Southeast Asia, The country is also very popular..."
Wang Cheng was still eating, but he was also listening to what Zhang Hanwen said.
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 resources for my official debut, but now they are not interested in The artists of Dongxing Entertainment are not very friendly and asked me to 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 made with purpose and under pressure. Zhang Hanwen feels that the effect of his practice during this period is similar to the total effect of his previous two years as a trainee, and he has made rapid progress.
Zhang Hanwen glanced at Wang Cheng, and then whispered: "I heard from Sister Hua that the company may assign you an exclusive agent."
Wang Cheng said calmly: "Follow them."
Although, he doesn't feel like he needs an agent.
However, it doesn't matter to him if the company wants to arrange an agent, as long as it doesn't disturb his work and rest time.
Zhang Hanwen also talked about some gossip about Rubik's Cube Entertainment integrating Dongxing Entertainment resources.
Wang Cheng also listened silently for a while, then got up and went back to the dormitory after eating: "I'm going back first."
Zhang Hanwen smiled and said: "Okay, you can go take a nap, bye..."
Wave goodbye.
Wang Cheng went back to his dormitory, picked up a brush and wrote a few words, then fell down and slept leisurely.
After Zhang Hanwen had eaten, he quickly ran back to the training base and made an appointment with the others to watch the live broadcast of Tomorrow's Idol at five o'clock!
…
Southern Guangdong Province.
Everyone on the Tomorrow Idol program team was extremely nervous.
The live broadcast is about to begin.
It was a bit more nervous than the first time they broadcast live at five o'clock.
Guo Shouxin called the publicity manager 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 program have dropped by more than 70% compared to the same time last week! This is also because of the blessing of two girl groups, Pink Era 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 Wang Cheng at the same time last week..."
"Many viewers said that without Wang Cheng, they are not so eager to watch our live broadcast. If you want to watch Wen Yixiao, Pink Era, and Flame Youth, you can wait until Penguin Video is online before watching the rebroadcast! It will not be available on May 5 Watch the live broadcast at 1 o’clock!”
"The extremely high ratings of the first two episodes have caused many people to give up on 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 head of publicity turned and left.
Liu Jiahui looked at the behind-the-scenes footage of the live broadcast and whispered: "I just hope it doesn't drop too much! What's the ratings now?"
Guo Shouxin: "I don't know, it hasn't been sent over yet!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the staff member opened the door of the office and walked in. He handed a report to Guo Shouxin anxiously: "Director Guo, take a look!"
Guo Shouxin immediately took it over and looked at it, and Liu Jiahui also hurriedly got up and came over to look at the data!
Seeing the numbers on the report, their expressions changed drastically at the same time...
Guo Shouxin looked at the staff and asked seriously: "Are the numbers correct?"
The staff member nodded and said affirmatively: "I have checked with you several times, yes..."
Guo Shouxin took a deep breath, waved his hand and asked the staff to leave. He sat heavily on the chair and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect it to be so much lower than we expected..."
Liu Jiahui also had a solemn face, and his eyes were full of thinking, thinking about what to do next.
They can get a rough idea of the ratings just from the launch.
Last week’s premiere ratings were over 2 points!
This week, it dropped directly to only 1.5...
The decline is huge.
It was beyond their expectations and imagination.
They expect it to be a good start if it starts airing at 1.8.
Unexpectedly, it is only 1.5 now!
Then whether the live broadcast ratings of this episode can get 3 points is a question!
because!
Neither Wen Yixiao nor Du Wei has the terrifying appeal of Wang Cheng, and it is impossible for them to raise the ratings by more than a little on their own.
Although Pink Era and Flame Youth have gained a lot of popularity on the Internet after being hyped, it is the first live performance in China after all. The audience base will not be too high, and it will definitely not be able to increase the ratings too much.
If the final highest ratings cannot even reach 3 points...
The two looked at each other, both of them afraid to think about it.
However, the live broadcast has already started.
There is nothing they can do now but watch the show here and hope that the ratings don't drop too much!
Liu Jiahui looked at the phone and wanted to call Lei Zhenzong directly several times, but he thought that these were only the opening ratings and the final ratings had not been released yet, so he could only wait patiently.
…
Live broadcast.
Wen Yixiao was sitting in the contestants' seat, exuding a demure aura, which was a little out of tune with the lively scene around her. She looked at the Pink Era and Flame Youth not far away, and then looked at Han Xiao who had already sat down on the stage. Han Xiao was talking and laughing with Feng Tang, with a halo in his eyes.
Bagua teammates could roughly guess Wen Yixiao's thoughts and whispered: "I heard that Han Xiao went to the Magic City and stayed for three days before coming back. If the show team hadn't urged her, she might not have come back."
Song Xue reached out and rubbed Bagua teammate's head to shut her up.
Bagua teammate smiled, then changed his tone and said: "Teacher Feng Tang is very popular now. Three days after the new song was released, the sales have exceeded 20 million. It is his best-selling work in recent years... What a pity. When we met Wang Cheng, Little Fairy and Du Wei, you three newcomers were so suppressed that you couldn't even see your shadow."
"Wang Cheng sells 60 million yuan a week, Little Fairy sells more than 37 million yuan a week, and Du Weiyi sells more than 31 million yuan a week!"
Song Xue looked at a girl in black in the audience and said, "Look, Zhu Ziqi is here."
Several people were slightly surprised and looked at the girl in black sitting in the audience. She was all in black, with long straight black hair, a black dress, and black leather shoes. The whole person was very solemn and had a slightly mature appearance. She also had the air of a royal sister, chatting and laughing with Chen Hao and Xiao Daohong next to her.
Bagua teammate looked at Zhu Ziqi and whispered: "Isn't she not coming to watch the performance of Tomorrow's Idol? Why did she come this time? Humph, she is defeated."
Wen Yixiao said calmly: "Although we won, Zhu Ziqi's strength is not weak. Don't underestimate her."
The Bagua teammate said oh, but still looked at Zhu Ziqi with displeasure, and whispered: "Looking at her mature appearance, those who didn't know would have thought she was 27 or 28 years old, but she is actually only 20 years old."
Coincidentally, Zhu Ziqi also looked over and looked into the eyes of Wen Yixiao and others without showing any signs of weakness. She also nodded and smiled at Wen Yixiao and others.
Wen Yixiao also smiled at Zhu Ziqi, like a good friend he hadn't seen for a while.
However, the two are rivals at Shonan TV and have no friendship in private.
Zhu Ziqi lost to Wen Yixiao, but the gap was not very big.
Zhu Ziqi also relied on a variety show to accumulate more than 10 million fans and step into the front line. Even without the support of Tomorrow's Idol stage, her number of fans during this period has exceeded 18 million. When she debuts, she will be released. Two musical works, and then a variety show to promote and operate, the super first-line celebrity 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 new trainee this year. It is inevitable to win the championship in Tomorrow's Idol. With the blessing of the popularity of Tomorrow's Idol stage, the popularity among fans will not lose to the current Wen Yixiao. many.
Unfortunately……
I met Wen Yixiao and was eliminated, and then I met Wang Cheng who was very popular in Tomorrow's Idol and 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 put a lot of distance between them.
Therefore, Zhu Ziqi can be said to have disappeared during this period. Today's appearance in the audience of Tomorrow's Idol is her first public appearance after being eliminated by Wen Yixiao.
At this time, the performance officially begins.
Wen Yixiao called on several teammates to head backstage.
Other trainees made way for them.
Huang Bin and Mo Bailin stood up, then watched them leave and sat down again. Everyone's face was full of anxiety.
The agent next to him, Chen Xiaoyong, encouraged him in a low voice: "Huang Bin, don't be nervous. Just perform normally as you did during practice. Don't you still trust Teacher Sun Gang's skills? He has studied with Wang Cheng for so long. , is already a gold medal dancer in the industry, and the performance I have carefully choreographed for you this time will be absolutely fine."
"Huang Bin, you will be the lead singer later, you must not be nervous!"
Huang Bin and others nodded, took deep breaths, forced a smile and relaxed themselves.
This is the first time they have performed alone on a big stage like Tomorrow's Idol, and it is a live performance, and they have to sing really. To say they are not nervous would be a lie.
However, several people also continued to cheer themselves up.
Because they know that they cannot rely on Wang Cheng forever. Wang Cheng said that he will not debut in a group with them, so they will soon debut independently, and then they will need to rely on themselves.
so……
They know that this is a test and an exercise for them, and it is a hurdle that they must overcome.
Once you cross it, it will be a transformation, and you will gradually be able to stand alone...
If you can't cross it, it will be very difficult in the future.
Several people cheered each other up and were ready at any time.
In the audience...
Zhu Ziqi sat with Chen Hao, Xiao Daohong and other eliminated contestants from other programs.
Zhu Ziqi watched Wen Yixiao and others walk out of the stage and whispered: "Wen Yixiao has made great progress during this period."
Chen Hao smiled and said: "Yes, Ziqi, don't let her pull you too far."
Zhu Ziqi smiled without saying a word, her eyes full of confidence.
She almost disappeared during this period, but she was not idle. She was also practicing in seclusion, and her improvement was also great. She was too tired and needed a few days of rest, so she came to watch the show.
Otherwise, she wouldn't bother to come over.
She was either on stage or not.
She will never be just a spectator!
This time, I just came to relax and join in the fun.
Zhu Ziqi: "It's a pity that I couldn't see Wang Cheng's performance."
Xiao Daohong: "Yes, Wang Cheng left unexpectedly, we didn't expect it! I heard that he returned to the Demon City to rest."
Chen Hao smiled, with a trace of contempt flashing in his eyes: "No matter how powerful he is, so what? Rather than being manipulated by capital, Rubik's Cube Entertainment is not comparable to Dongxing Entertainment. He must have offended the senior management of Rubik's Cube Entertainment, and they want to suppress him. Give him a break and ask him to be more honest..."
Xiao Daohong declined to comment and remained silent.
Zhu Ziqi glanced at Chen Hao but said nothing.
Because she knew some things, which were obviously not what Chen Hao said.
However, she would not argue with Chen Hao here, so she remained silent and watched Wen Yixiao's performance on the stage.
"Ziqi, what's your phone number? I'm going to treat you tonight, along with Xiao Daohong and several other friends, all of whom are our trainees who debuted together this year!"
Chen Hao smiled at Zhu Ziqi.
Zhu Ziqi smiled and said, "I didn't bring my phone, maybe next time."
The smile on Chen Hao's face gradually faded and he said casually: "Okay, next time!"
He knew that Zhu Ziqi was not interested in him...
As a second-generation rich man in Beijing and a powerful newcomer under Jingtian Entertainment, Chen Hao also has his own pride. If others ignore him, he will not be a licking dog.
Zhu Ziqi watched Wen Yixiao's performance for a while, then took out her headphones and put them into her ears, clicked on the Penguin Music player, and started playing the songs she liked listening to recently. On the playlist were all Wang Cheng's works.
Xiao Daohong whispered in Chen Hao's ear: "Hey, you didn't receive the call, did you?"
Chen Hao glared at Chen Hao: "I can't afford to offend this!"
Xiao Daohong asked in a low voice: "Can you afford to offend Wen Yixiao?"
He can't afford to offend Chen Hao if he shuts up!
At the end of Wen Yixiao's performance, she received a round of applause. It was still a new song and a high-level dance performance. Coupled with Wen Yixiao's good looks and temperament, it was definitely a top-notch live experience, and the applause was very warm.
The four pink era people sitting in the middle all looked serious.
Lisa whispered: "Their performance level is still very high, we must work hard next time."
Bae Zhuyan: "Just perform steadily, don't be nervous! We have different styles from her, and there is no direct competition."
Ginny and Lin Xi both nodded to express their 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 difficult to open up the Chinese market in the future.
However, Lisa looked at the stage 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.
Although Wang Cheng made them extremely embarrassed three times, the last time the three of them rushed to the stage to interact, but Wang Cheng slid away. Now this scene has spread throughout Southeast Asia, even Europe and the United States, and has been praised by netizens and fans from all over the world. They edited it into emoticons!
They have also had a lot of emoticons leaked in the past few years, but they were basically funny and good-looking. Only this time when they came to China to watch Wang Cheng's performance, they turned into embarrassing emoticons twice.
But……
But they didn't hate Wang Cheng at all.
On the contrary, now that I am no longer in the front row and can no longer see Wang Cheng's performance, I feel a little empty in my heart, as if the greatest expectation in my heart is gone.
Pei Zhuyan clapped her hands hurriedly: "Okay, don't think about this and get ready for the performance!"
Lisa, Ginny, and Lin Xi also hurriedly collected their emotions. They knew that the performance was coming and they couldn't mess around and affect their state.
However, when several people thought about the shocking feeling they had when they watched Wang Cheng perform nunchucks at a close 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 could not find it, or they were not strong enough!
Not far away, the four people of Flame Youth also watched Wen Yixiao's performance very quietly. Compared with the lively and happy time when they first arrived last week, they seemed to be four different people.
Haruko Nakamori said softly: "If Wang Chengjun doesn't come back, then after our performance is over, we will travel to the Magic City!"
Chiyuki Amuro: “What a great idea!”
Shizuka Hanazawa said hopefully: "I really want to watch Wang Chengjun's performance again. It's the first time I've experienced that kind of shock at close range!"
Ishihara Makoto: "Yes, the performances of the European and American superstars we have watched did not have such a strong impact on the scene... Unfortunately, we can't learn from them!"
The four of them had only watched Wang Cheng's live performance once, and they were all a bit unsatisfied. At the same time, they were also very envious. They wanted to learn that kind of stage performance charm, but they couldn't learn it. They didn't have that kind of strength, nor the natural aura of a superstar. .
The agent next to him, Xiao Cun, complained: "Hey, didn't you see me here? Are you planning to run away after the show in front of me? Did I agree?"
The four of them smiled and remained silent, obviously not taking the agent Xiaocun's words seriously.
The show goes on!
The quality of each performance was still not inferior to that before, and every player's performance was remarkable.
The scores given by Xu Chaohua reflected this. Wen Yixiao once again scored 98 points, everyone else was also around 90 points, and Du Wei scored 95 points.
The performances of Huang Bin and Mo Bailin, who played last, were also above the standard, scoring 92 points.
Although a few people were a little nervous and the connection of some movements was relatively stiff, there was no mistake after all. Huang Bin's singing skills were not inferior to Ma Yunfei's. The performance ended smoothly. As soon as the performance was over, he hugged Chen Xiaoyong and Sun Gang. Everyone was very happy. Excited and more confident.
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 no longer have it!
But……
When Guo Shouxin and Liu Jiahui backstage received the latest ratings data table again, all the confidence in their hearts disappeared.
"Without Wang Cheng, it would be difficult for others to rise up!"
Guo Shouxin said with a hint of hoarseness: "Wen Yixiao only raised the ratings to 2.2, and then it dropped all the way to 1.7. When Du Wei raised it to 2.0, after Huang Bin and the others performed, there was only 1.7 left. At this time, it is really difficult for ordinary people to break the upper limit of the number of people."
Liu Jiahui also sighed: "Yes, not everyone is Wang Cheng... he 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 impressive. What follows next I don’t know if Pink Era and Flame Youth can bring surprises!”
Although they say this, both Liu Jiahui and Guo Shouxin know that the current ratings are only 1.7. Even if Flame Youth and Pink Era become more popular, it is impossible to increase the ratings to last week's 4.3, or even 3.0. possible!
They are not Wang Cheng!
After all, they are outsiders, and it is their first time to perform publicly in China. Their fan base is not even as good as Du Wei's, and they cannot compare with Wen Yixiao, let alone Wang Cheng.
so……
Liu Jiahui directly faxed several data reports to Penguin Entertainment headquarters.
Then……
Pink Era and Flame Youth take the stage.
The atmosphere at the scene became a little more lively.
It has to be said that Pink Era is indeed an international girl group that has entered Europe and the United States, with more than 80 million fans in Europe and the United States. It is absolutely strong and has a strong stage aura. It has re-arranged and re-arranged Wang Cheng's Jing Wu Men. The lyrics were very European and American, and many celebrity artists and trainees were present, so the scene became lively at once.
Lisa's choreography is of a very high standard, blending the current European and American pop styles with the Chinese style brought by Wang Cheng, and the stage effect is very dazzling!
The performance ended with thunderous applause!
Wen Yixiao applauded softly and said softly: "They are very strong, everyone is very relaxed, and their style is different from ours."
Teammate Bagua nodded: "We can break into the European and American markets. How can we succeed if we don't let 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 all had to make mosaics, and I was so scared that I couldn’t even listen to it.”
Wen Yixiao and Song Xue smiled.
After the Pink Era came to power, it was the Flame Girls.
Flame Youth Girl is another style, with obvious two-dimensionality. The music style has obvious island animation style, and the stage style is also very gorgeous, attracting the screams of more young popular stars and trainees. After all, they all I like to watch anime from the island country, and I have basically watched the performances of the four members of Flame Youth!
At the end of the performance, the four members of Flame Youth also won a round of applause...
This gives some hope to Guo Shouxin and Liu Jiahui in the background.
The response was enthusiastic.
Then the ratings should be good, right?
But……
After waiting for a while, the scene was over and dispersed.
The two of them did not leave. When the data was delivered, Guo Shouxin grabbed it!
Liu Jiahui also hurriedly stretched his neck to look at the top number, only to see a 2. Liu Jiahui felt dizzy.
There is no doubt that the highest ratings have not exceeded 3!
Liu Jiahui looked carefully and saw that the highest number was only 2.3...
Pink Era and Flame Youth, two of Asia's top girl groups, performing together only increased the ratings by 0.6, which is almost the same as Wen Yixiao alone.
The ratings of 2.3 were a full 0.7 away from their expected lowest rating of 3.0!
Compared with last week's highest ratings of 4.3, it has dropped by a full 2 points!
This decline...
It is comparable to the rappelling from the top of the mountain, and it is almost comparable to what it was like after Wang Cheng left Eastern Star.
Thinking that he might become another negative example after Eastern Star.
Guo Shouxin and Liu Jiahui both shook their heads and refused...
After sending away the staff, Liu Jiahui immediately sent the final data summary to the group headquarters and said to Guo Shouxin: "I will call Mr. Lei right now..."
Guo Shouxin took the phone and whispered: "Should I call Wang Cheng?"
Liu Jiahui nodded: "Okay, it would be best to confirm with Wang Cheng first. But don't get your hopes up."
Guo Shouxin immediately called Wang Cheng.
But……
Beep beep beep!
No one answered.
Guo Shouxin smiled bitterly and shook his head. He really couldn't hold out hope.
And Liu Jiahui has already called Lei Zhenzong: "Mr. Lei, I sent the data summary, have you seen it?"
Lei Zhenzong was sitting in the office at this time, with Yu Jinghong sitting across from him. He said to the phone: "Mr. Yu and I saw it. Why is the decline so big?"
Liu Jiahui carefully analyzed: "Wang Cheng's departure is the biggest factor, followed by the time period! Our live broadcast at five o'clock has a great impact. In fact, this is the normal phenomenon of live broadcast at five o'clock. Not everyone can be like Wang Cheng has changed everyone’s TV-watching habits.”
"We can get the highest ratings of 2.3 during this time period, which is not a failure. If we put it on the eight o'clock slot, it should be one point higher!"
What he didn't say was that if Wang Cheng was allowed to perform live at 8 o'clock, the ratings might have exceeded 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 moment.
because.
This also far exceeded their expectations.
They thought about 3.0, and at least 2.5, but they never thought it would be lower than 2.5!
After all, they got a miraculous rating of 4.3 last week, and their audience base is huge. How could it drop to 2.3 all of a sudden?
How many viewers have been lost?
They were also enticed by the ratings of 4.3 in the last issue and 4.1 in the previous issue!
I forgot, in the past few years, they also spent a lot of resources, and the highest ratings in the eight o'clock prime time failed to break 3!
Lei Zhenzong was silent for a moment, and then said: "Okay, we know."
Liu Jiahui said hurriedly: "Mr. Lei, my suggestion is to bring Wang Cheng back as soon as possible and don't let him miss next week's performance again. Otherwise, the loss will be even greater."
Lei Zhenzong: "Okay, I'll try my best!"
Finished.
Lei Zhenzong hung up the phone and said to Yu Jinghong opposite: "The ratings have dropped too much. Qin Yuhai will definitely know about it, so we will be very passive. They want 10% of the shares, which is impossible. I Go to the group headquarters two trips, the maximum limit we get is four points. We can give up at most tomorrow's idol four -point shares. I can make five points in private.
Yu Jinghong: "Qin Yuhai is just a lion opening, he knows that we cannot give ten stakes!"
Lei Zhenzong said solemnly: "But, we don't have time to continue to be deadlocked with him now. You can wait for it, go to the magic capital, talk to Qin Yuhai, and do it as soon as possible. It does not exceed five points. If it exceeds five o'clock, even if we carry the losses later, there will be no king Cheng at the beginning. "
Yu Jinghong nodded: "Okay, I will book a ticket!"
After speaking, Yu Jinghong got up and prepared to leave.
Lei Zhenzong suddenly asked again: "By the way, the Spring Festival Gala Xie called me, saying that he invited Wen Yixiao, and Wen Yixiao refused?"
Yu Jinghong stunned, and then said, "Yes, Wen Yixiao refused!"
Lei Zhenzong was puzzled: "Why? The Spring Festival Gala is the top resource. If others break the head, they can't grab it. Why did she refuse? Xie Xingfeng said, Wen Yixiao is important to his Spring Festival Gala this year. I hope we can persuade Wen Yi. Several participation. "
Yu Jinghong smiled bitterly: "I have persuaded Wen Yixiao several times, and she insisted on refusing! I couldn't say it. She said that the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal and performance was too long. She didn't have so much time to waste it."
Lei Zhenzong listened to his speechless: "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 I don't want much."
Lei Zhenzong said with some funny way: "Xie Xingfeng was also unlucky this year. He invited Wang Cheng to be rejected and then came to invite himself. As a result, he was rejected by Wang Cheng. Then, he invited Wen Yixiao and was rejected ... If it was me, I might be angry. "
Yu Jinghong also nodded and smiled bitterly: "Who said isn't it? This year Wang Cheng is the hottest newcomer. Each performance is very hot. The fans have broken 70 million. If you can't go to the Spring Festival Gala, it is the loss of the Spring Festival Gala. Wen Yixiao The newcomer second only to Wang Cheng, the appearance and strength of the face, are also impeccable. Fans are close to the super huge threshold. If Wen Yixiao is not on the Spring Festival Gala, this year's Spring Festival Gala may be boring by many people! "
"Xie Dao must have a headache very much."
Lei Zhenzong: "You persuade Wen Yixiao, Wang Cheng refuses to the Spring Festival Gala, for Wen Yixiao, it is a chance!"
Yu Jinghong nodded: "Okay! I persuaded, but hopeless. I expect that Director Xie may invite Du Wei ..."
Lei Zhenzong thought for a while, nodded and agreed.
If Wang Cheng and Wen Yixiao refused to go to the Spring Festival Gala, Xie Xingfeng could only invite Du Wei among the newcomers this year.
And Du Wei itself is also a strong faction, and his face is not weak. He belongs to the tip of the trainees, but it is weaker than Wang Cheng and Wen Yixiao, and the Spring Festival Gala is definitely qualified.
After speaking, Yu Jinghong turned and left, and immediately got up to the demon capital!
Lei Zhenzong was exhausted.
Buzz buzz...
The phone rings again.
Lei Zhenzong picked it up and saw that he was the manager of the penguin music, and he picked it up and connected.
Manager He immediately said: "President Lei, Wang Cheng did not perform this time, and there was no new song release. Our user's activity has dropped at least three grades. My suggestion is to let Wang Cheng return to tomorrow's idol stage and continue to post new songs and continue to post new songs. …”
Lei Zhenzong said lightly: "Wang Cheng can't always post new songs. In this case, you will face it sooner or later!"
Manager He said helplessly: "President Lei, we know ... but now it is the best time for us to suppress Qianyi and Ai dogs. Cheng Bo's song influence is not great, and Qianyi and Ai Dog will never have a chance to turn around. "
Lei Zhenzong took a moment, and once again felt the importance of Wang Cheng at this time, and still said calmly: "I know, I have sent someone to negotiate."
Manager He: "That's good!"
Snapped.
Lei Zhenzong hung up the phone and looked at the data table sent by the idols of tomorrow. The highest ratings were only 2.3 numbers, which was extremely dazzling, especially in comparison with the report of last week. Enter your eyes!
However, he knew that this was not the end.
Because the TV ratings are only part of Penguin Entertainment's business.
Online business is actually the main business of Penguin Entertainment.
Last week, Tomorrow's idol video playback volume exceeded 39 billion, and it almost entered the 4 billion weekly broadcast volume, and even shocked Penguin Network Group.
As a result of the survey of tomorrow's idol show group, many viewers thought that this was the last time that Wang Cheng performed in tomorrow's idol, so he repeatedly watched Wang Cheng's poles to perform, which made such an amazing volume.
But……
Today's live performance, there is no king Cheng!
So, how much will be available this week?
Lei Zhenzong didn't dare to think about it.
And this is still not all.
Because the performance video of tomorrow's idol will be launched in Southeast Asia.
Last week, I won more than 1.5 billion playback in Southeast Asia ...
There is no king Cheng this week, and how much can play?
Will it affect the entire Asian strategy?
Lei Zhenzong still didn't dare to think about it. He could only hope that after Wang Cheng returned, the situation would be better.
However, thinking of the two women's groups in the pink era and flames of youth have a high popularity in other Asian countries, my heart was slightly relaxed.
…………
Buzz buzz...
Wang Cheng's phone rang.
He put down his writing brush and looked at it. It was Han Xiao who came and picked it up: "Hmm!"
Han Xiao said happily: "Have you seen the live broadcast of tomorrow's idols?"
Wang Cheng: "No!"
Han Xiao: "It deserves you, I like it. Without your performance, the degree of excitement has dropped a lot, and I am a little boring."
Wang Cheng didn't speak.
Han Xiao: "I have already settled the air ticket to the Magic City, and I will arrive at ten o'clock in the evening. Go to you tomorrow morning. Would you like to continue to see the house?"
Wang Cheng: "Don't watch it!"
Han Xiao: "Oh? Is there a certain goal? Is it the set of Tangyuan? I think you are the most careful about this house."
Wang Cheng: "Yeah!"
Han Xiao: "Then I tell the agent, stay!"
Wang Cheng: "No!"
Han Xiao: "Okay, listen to you. Don't say it, Professor Xu and Liu Zhicai are here ..."
After speaking, Han Xiao hung up.
Wang Cheng did not continue writing, picked up the book and read it.
In the evening, Wang Cheng had a dinner alone and walked when he went out.
Shen Shenghui took Yu Jinghong to the apartment downstairs and met Wang Cheng!
"Wang Cheng, met again ..."
Yu Jinghong smiled forward and stretched out his hand at Wang Cheng.
Wang Cheng's face was still calm. He reached out and shook hands with Yu Jinghong, and he touched immediately, and then continued to take a walk.
Shen Shenghui hurriedly said: "Wang Cheng, we met the conditions with tomorrow's idols, and you can continue to perform with President Yu back to the show group."
Yu Jinghong took out a contract from the package: "This is a new contract for you, a super -level contract that conforms to your identity."
But!
Wang Cheng did not stop at the foot, he would not ignore Shen Shenghui, and did not look at the contract handed over by Yu Jinghong, just said softly, "I'm resting now! This is what Qin promised me ..."
The faces of Shen Shenghui and Yu Jinghong were not very good -looking.
They just talked about the conditions, and also drafted a performance contract of super giant coffee for Wang Cheng, thinking that when he came to notify Wang Cheng, after signing the contract, Wang Cheng would follow Yu Jinghong back to prepare for the performance to perform the performance. …
But I didn't expect...
Wang Cheng didn't think so.
Break time?
What's the meaning?
Shen Shenghui stepped forward and asked, "Wang Cheng, what do you mean? What rest time?"
Wang Cheng didn't speak, walking slowly, he would be Shen Shenghui ignored.
Yu Jinghong also followed and asked, "Wang Cheng, how long will you take for rest?"
Wang Cheng spoke, and said softly, "Two weeks!"
Two weeks?
Will I miss the performance of the idols in the next issue?
According to the order of the idol performance tomorrow, the two teams will be eliminated this week, and the semi -finals of the four teams will be entered next week. Finally, the finals!
If Wang Cheng missed the semi -finals next week, Huang Bin and Mo Bailin probably probably will be eliminated in one -on -one duel!
At that time, Wang Cheng went back again, in what identity to perform?
Moreover, at that time, there was only the final finals!
Even if Wang Chengneng performed, he could only perform only one period. Penguin Entertainment paid such a huge price for that issue?
call……
Yu Jinghong looked at Shen Shenghui, and the threat in his eyes was obvious -if Wang Cheng had a break in two weeks before going, then he would not need to go, and the contract signed this time will automatically fail.
It is agreed that the shares of tomorrow ’s tomorrow idol shares and the super giant contract of Wang Cheng will be invalidated automatically.
Qin Yuhai worked hard this time ...
Shen Shenghui saw the meaning of Yu Jinghong, followed by Wang Cheng and said, "Wang Cheng, do you want to miss the performance twice? If you go next week, Huang Bin may be eliminated. What do you do?"
Wang Cheng's tone still said calmly: "I won't miss the performance next week."
ah?
The two tweeted and confirmed that they did not hear it right.
Two weeks of rest, and then did not miss the performance next week!
That is, Wang Cheng will report to the program group before the live performance?
But……
How much time is there with Huang Bin, Mo Bailin, they practice together?
Yu Jinghong's complexion is very ugly ...
What she hopes to see the show team is that Wang Cheng will report to the program team immediately. Tomorrow will participate in the semi -finals of the next week and the topic lottery. Then he will create new works like before. Participate in the performance!
The program group will continue to smash the most resources on Wang Cheng to promote the hype for a week, and gradually recover the previous heat and topic. At that time, the ratings are best to directly recover to 4.3 ...
They think beautiful.
However, Wang Cheng arrived the day before the performance!
That is to create and make new works.
This is missing an important speculation point, and the audience has a huge expectation.
Of course, the penguin concert may be the most disappointed!
The ratings will not be too high ...
the most important is.
At that time, Wang Cheng went to perform in a hurry. What should I do if several people and Huang Bin were eliminated by their opponents?
Semifinals.
Wang Cheng's opponent may be Du Wei, or Wen Yixiao, which are absolutely powerful opponents.
The opponent was ready for a week.
Wang Cheng was resting here, he arrived before the performance, and then rushed to the stage!
How could there be good performances?
How could it have a tacit cooperation with teammates?
If it will be eliminated at that time ...
Wang Cheng only performed for one period and will end automatically.
Penguin Entertainment paid a huge price, only bought Wang Cheng's performance in the first phase of Wang Cheng, or the extremely hasty temporary performance ...
Yu Jinghong took a deep breath again and calmed herself. Shen Sheng said: "Wang Cheng, you are so rushing and irresponsible, not afraid of being eliminated?"
Wang Cheng: "That's my business! This is my request. If you disagree, please go back."
Qin Yuhai unilaterally stopped his previous performance contract with his idols and tomorrow. Wang Cheng was uncomfortable, so he wanted to take a week.
Shen Shenghui said, "Wang Cheng, you don't respect the audience and your teammates, and your own word of mouth."
Wang Cheng was silent, and he was too lazy to pay attention to Shen Shenghui.
Yu Jinghong did not dare to decide about Wang Cheng in private and called Lei Zhenzong.
Lei Zhenzong had a headache and said directly: "Go to ask Guo Shixin and Liu Jiahui, they are doing programs!"
Therefore, Yu Jinghong called Guo Shixin and Liu Jiahui again. The two were together and heard Yu Jinghong's conversation of Wang Cheng's words ...
Guo Shixin and Liu Jiahui looked at each other, and they were full of hesitation!
The price of Wang Cheng will return to tomorrow's idol stage.
It was not only given Wang Cheng a super giant contract, but also gave up the five o'clock tomorrow idol shares to entertain the Rubik's Cube.
If Wang Cheng reported before the performance, and then the performance was very average, and he was eliminated ...
Then you will get water and drift water ...
But!
No king Cheng.
They were completely hopeless.
The ratings this time completely awakened them.
It is proved that the previous miracle ratings have little to do with their program group itself, and almost all of them are Wang Cheng's credit.
Therefore, with Wang Cheng, they have hope!
Guo Shixin and Liu Jiahui discussed slightly for a minute and decided to bet again!
Just like the live broadcast time for Wang Cheng for the first time, they gambled that time ...
This time, they also believe that they can bet.
Liu Jiahui said solemnly to Yu Jinghong: "Promise him!"
Yu Jinghong said seriously: "Liu Jiahui, this is your own decision by your show team. When you come, you know the consequences yourself."
Liu Jiahui knew what Yu Jinghong meant.
At that time, if Wang Chengcang's performance is not good, even if he may even be eliminated, then Liu Jiahui and Guo Chushi will have to carry a pot.
Liu Jiahui said affirmatively: "Mr. Yu, rest assured, we know what we are doing! Just complete the signing 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!"
The pace of Wang Cheng's walk still has not stopped.
However, Shen Shenghui stopped shocked, and looked back at Yu Jinghong with his eyes widened!
He couldn't believe that Wang Cheng had such an outrageous request, and Yu Jinghong would agree.
