This Star Doesn’t Work Overtime

Chapter 101: 99. Ratings have risen again! That Maste

  Chapter 101 99. Ratings have risen again! That master calligraphy! (seeking subscription)

   Spring and Summer With You is on air!

   This news itself has a very high level of discussion on Weibo, ranking among the top ten hot topics.

  Among them, some discussed the song Gecko Walking, and some discussed Wang Cheng.

  Discuss what wonderful performance Wang Cheng will bring...

   Then there are still a small number of people discussing Huang Bin, Chen Hao, Xiao Daohong and other popular players.

  Many people are waiting in front of the TV for the spring and summer broadcast of You, while scrolling through news and speeches on the Internet. Many young people who don’t usually watch TV are rarely in front of the TV.

   "Already watching the TV and waiting for Wang Cheng to appear."

   "Is Xiao Chengcheng still wearing a mask this time?"

   "I went to the bar last night, and the ladies and sisters played gecko walks in the disco. It's so beautiful."

   "When will Xiao Chengcheng be able to sing by himself..."

   "The thing that surprised me the most this year was the two trainees Wang Cheng and Wen Yixiao. They are both too strong. It's a pity to be a traffic star. You should settle down and learn to improve yourself."

   "Gecko walks, Wang Cheng walks..."

  …

  Wu Tong and Fang Xueshu looked at the public opinion news on Weibo, and they were relatively calm in their hearts. They stayed in the office and watched the program that had just started.

  Fang Xueshu asked in a low voice, "What did Wang Cheng say just now?"

  Wu Tong: "Go out for a walk."

  Fang Xueshu was also a little speechless.

   This is the first time I have seen such a star artist.

   Even though they have been in contact with Wang Cheng for a while, they still leave them speechless every time.

  Wu Tong: "I told him when the ratings came out, he said he didn't want to know..."

  Fang Xueshu remained silent.

  Wu Tong showed a smile on his face instead, and said: "In the future, if I have the opportunity to make a game variety show, invite Wang Cheng over. With his personality, the effect of the show must be very interesting..."

  Fang Xueshu was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that he seemed to have something to do!

  Wang Cheng's style of not playing cards according to the routine is really easy to get out of the circle, and it is easy to be made into a meme by the audience and netizens.

  For example, when a big-name singer of the older generation was interviewed at the end of his performance, the host asked, "Why did you come here?"

  The other party asked strangely: "Didn't you invite me here?"

   This dialogue has been widely circulated.

   "Forget it, let's talk about it later, with his crazy popularity, we may not be able to afford him in the future."

   Wu Tong complained softly.

One day after the release of Gecko Walk, the sales volume of the song exceeded 13 million, which is scary. Wang Cheng's fan growth rate has also increased again. The number of fans has exceeded 25 million. It is definitely the fastest growth rate since the traffic era. An exaggerated trainee.

None of the previous trainees had such an exaggerated speed of attracting fans when they debuted, including the few super-top streamers who are now standing at the top of the traffic star circle, they were not so exaggerated when they first debuted, even faster than Wen Yixiao It is weaker, about the same as Zhu Ziqi.

   Many people in the circle are feeling that the traffic era has developed for several years, and this year may usher in the peak year of the outbreak!

   And now they have signed a contract with Wang Cheng for more than 8.6 million a period. When Wang Cheng's fans exceed 30 million, or even 40 million, what will the price be? Taller than Chaoju?

  With such a high price, there may not be a few program groups in the entire circle who can afford this amount of money.

  The program had already been aired, and the two stared at the TV screen. Even though they had watched it several times, they still watched it with gusto.

   After a while, the staff sent a report.

  Fang Xueshu took it over and read it first, then handed it to Wu Tong with a smile: "Good start!"

  Wu Tong took it over and looked at it carefully, and let go of his hanging heart: "The 1.9 broadcast is not bad, and it should meet our expectations."

  Fang Xueshu nodded: "With Wang Cheng's exaggeration in boosting ratings, there should be no problem!"

  Their expected ratings for this episode is 2.5, and now it’s 1.9, and Wang Cheng hasn’t appeared yet. When Wang Cheng comes out, they believe that they will reach their expected ratings, and they will be sure!

  …

   Watch Wang Cheng's program.

   It has become a habit of Wen Yixiao and several team members.

They knew that the other players of the same program were almost watching Wang Cheng's program at this time, including Zhu Ziqi, a highly popular player who was second only to Wen Yixiao, because when they chatted privately, they talked most often about Wang Cheng, many of them are fans of Wang Cheng.

   After all, they are just a group of girls in their twenties, and they have no resistance to Wang Cheng, who is the most charismatic on stage.

  Wen Yixiao stared at the TV screen and said softly: "Xiao Daohong's stage level has improved a little compared to last time."

Wu Zhishan nodded affirmatively and said: "Yes, when Wang Cheng joined this program group, the production level and performance level of the entire program group have been significantly improved. Wang Cheng's Wu Zhi Sun Gang is now the most impressive in our industry." I am envious. Several big companies have sent out invitations to Sun Gang, all of whom are top-level gold medal contracts. They were one grade lower than ours before, but now they are the top dance fingers, and the treatment is higher than mine. half chip."

   "That's it, Sun Gang is still on the sidelines and has not agreed. I heard that he wants to perform with Wang Cheng until the end of the cooperation, and then consider the signing of the contract."

Said, Shanshan's tone was a little envious, and at the same time, she remembered the joke that was first spread to the industry with Wang Cheng. At that time, Hu Qing, the only gold medal dancer of Dongxing Entertainment, went to cooperate with Wang Cheng, but Wang Cheng left in anger. At that time they all laughed at Wang Cheng...

  Now, the object of ridicule by many dancers in the industry has become Hu Qing.

  Hu Qing is a gold medal dancer himself, one of the top five gold medal dancers in the popular dance field of Shanghai. If he had stayed with Wang Cheng and cooperated for a few episodes, his worth and status might have risen now, and he would become the number one dancer in Shanghai.

  It's a pity that Hu Qing chose to leave at that time and went to Rongcheng to cooperate with Ma Yunfei, and now it is impossible to go back.

Wen Yixiao hummed, a little absent-minded. She wasn't that interested in the performance without Wang Cheng. She just glanced over it, and it was enough to take a look. What she was thinking about was the song Liu Shengjie gave her in vocal music class this afternoon. Some singing techniques, techniques of controlling the breath.

"Oriental Star's ratings are getting colder, but the status and value of several dancing fingers in Oriental Star have increased. Mr. Luo Qiang's contract with the company will expire next year, and the company has already offered him a higher salary." The contract was renewed in advance, but Teacher Luo Qiang did not agree, and is still waiting and watching. I heard that he wants to go out and open a personal studio, and then cooperate with the company in the name of the studio."

  Shanshan continued: "There is also Mr. Danny, who has already decided to change jobs. Huangjiang Entertainment can't keep him. He is going to jump to Rubik's Cube Entertainment. Rubik's Cube Entertainment is the only entertainment giant in Shanghai, so it is very easy to poach people."

  As a gold medal dancer, Shanshan also has a wide network of contacts in the industry, and she is very familiar with the changes in the pop dance industry.

  The changes in the popular dance world in the past month have been more dramatic than in the past ten years, and it is no exaggeration to say that they are earth-shaking.

  Some people rise, some people fall behind, and the flow of people is unprecedented.

   However, the whole is a big step forward.

  The core person who promotes these is Wang Cheng!

  Shanshan lowered her voice and said with a little pride: "I heard that even the stick country and the island country have come to Wuzhi to learn from our stage!"

  Wen Yixiao suddenly became interested, her eyes lit up, and she asked, "Oh? Are they here to learn our dance?"

Shanshan nodded, and said with a smile: "Last week, Li Xingluo and Zheng Xinliang went to Bang Country to perform. The company's teacher Zhou choreographed them. They used a lot of new styles, and the performance was very effective. It shocked the entire Bang Country entertainment circle." And the audience, several island dancers were also shocked, so they sent people to follow and study together."

  "The company has decided to increase the number of performances in Bang Country, Island Country, and several countries in Southeast Asia! Li Xingluo and Zheng Xinliang's popularity in Bang Country has soared, and they are lucky."

  Wen Yixiao's eyes flashed a hint of pride.

  The trainee system came from Bangguo. It is no exaggeration to say that the traffic era of the Chinese entertainment circle was started by the Bangguo entertainment circle.

  So, the trainees and traffic stars have been imitating and learning from several popular traffic combinations in Bangguo in recent years, whether it is music or typhoon.

Now…

  Finally, it's the other way around, the entertainment circles of Bang Nation and Island Nation sent dancers to China to learn dance.

  Being under the banner of the traffic giant Penguin Entertainment, they can know the news in the circle more quickly and quickly.

Penguin Entertainment has been actively cooperating with Asian countries around China, pushing its traffic stars to their markets, and is still in contact with Europe and the United States. It wants to go further to the international market, but it is not easy to take this step easy.

  Wen Yixiao is a member of this plan!

   In the future, Wen Yixiao may be promoted internationally by Penguin Entertainment.

  Shanshan and Wen Yixiao both know this and are working hard for it.

   Now, the overall improvement in the field of popular dance has brought about the improvement and change of stage style, and the performance effect is better. Now the reverse export to the stick country and the island country has given them more confidence.

The manager Peng Donghua, who was silent all the time, said: "Because the performance of Li Xingluo and Zheng Xinliang was successful last time, it attracted the interest of several surrounding countries. Therefore, when making idols tomorrow, there will be stick countries, island countries, and Nanyang. The country will send people to watch and learn from the scene.”

   "If the performance is good at that time, the company will also push the performance video to TV stations and websites in several surrounding countries."

   "You must work hard, and then you may be able to reach the sky in one step and become an Asian superstar outside of China!"

  After listening to Peng Donghua's words, Wen Yixiao and several other team members' eyes lit up.

The Chinese-speaking entertainment circle has not made a sound to the outside world for more than ten years. In the past few years, it has been overtaken by Bang Nation and the island country. If they can step out of the Chinese-speaking entertainment circle and become Asian superstars, it will be of great significance to the entire Chinese-speaking entertainment circle. , popularity will soar.

but…

   At this time, the masked figure appeared on the TV screen.

  A girl suddenly exclaimed: "Wang Cheng has appeared."

  Another girl also shouted: "So handsome..."

   "Why does Wang Cheng insist on wearing a mask?"

   “Wish to see him perform without a mask.”

   "Then go watch the first video of Oriental Star."

   "I've watched it countless times..."

  …

  Wen Yixiao stared at the masked figure, and said in a low voice, "At that time, Wang Cheng may be the biggest winner..."

  Peng Donghua and Shanshan listened to Wen Yixiao's words, their eyes were fixed, and they immediately reacted!

yes!

  Wang Cheng is also sure to win the spring and summer stage. Neither Xiao Daohong nor Chen Hao can beat Wang Cheng. At that time, Wang Cheng can also be on the stage of tomorrow's idol.

   With Wang Cheng's stage charm, once it spreads in neighboring Asian countries, it will definitely cause madness!

Shanshan has seen the performances of some of the most popular groups in Bangguo and Daoguo. The charm of the stage is not as good as that of Wang Cheng. It is not an exaggeration to be crushed by Wang Cheng.

In terms of typhoon and stage charm, Wang Cheng is the most attractive Shanshan has ever seen. He is unique and invincible. He is slightly better than the few European and American international superstars she has seen. He was born for the stage. of.

   At that time, everyone else on the stage will only be Wang Cheng's foil...

But!

  Wang Cheng is not an artist under Penguin Entertainment.

  On the stage of Penguin Entertainment, only its star artists are allowed to enjoy the greatest benefits.

  In the past few years, the final champions of tomorrow's idols have all been trainees under Penguin Entertainment without exception.

   Shake your head...

  Shanshan doesn't think about these things that don't belong to her.

   But Peng Donghua's eyes were shining brightly, knowing that the company might continue to wave the **** at Dongxing Entertainment to dig Wang Cheng!

   "So handsome..."

   Another exclamation from a girl came.

  Wen Yixiao also stared at the TV screen seriously.

  In the screen, Wang Cheng's performance has already started.

  The rhythm of the music that walks with the gecko, the relaxed, lazy, and even weird dance style makes people feel very comfortable and like it, and it is almost perfectly integrated with the music.

   are some simple movements, but the rhythm is so beautiful!

  Shanshan said with bright eyes: "Wang Cheng has gradually returned to basics. This time, the choreography does not show off skills, and there are no too difficult and novel movements. However, it fits the style of the song, and it is more beautiful and enduring!"

  Wen Yixiao nodded, feeling powerless again.

  She is still learning to sing, but Wang Cheng's dancing style has returned to basics.

  This style of music, this dance, she felt like walking two steps after watching it.

   Fortunately, Wang Cheng is not good at singing. She can work hard in this aspect and strive to catch up from behind.

  The girls in the back stood up actively, and jumped up with Wang Cheng on the TV screen. They were very relaxed and happy. Today's practice is not so tired.

  Take a deep breath!

  Wen Yixiao cheered herself up.

  The next time she's on stage, she'll show her stuff.

   Still, look at the masked guy.

  Wen Yixiao is curious—will he continue to release new songs next week?

Do not know why!

  Listening to Wang Cheng's new songs has gradually become a habit of Wen Yixiao.

   It seems that a new song by Wang Cheng every week has become a part of her life.

  In the past few weeks, other singers have released new songs, but she has never paid attention to them, and she has never heard those songs that seem to sell very well.

  She opened Wang Cheng's Weibo and took a look, and saw that Wang Cheng's latest news was from a promotional program released this morning, and the number of 25 million fans was also a long list, which was extremely dazzling.

  The number of her own fans has just exceeded 13 million. Although she is also a top-tier celebrity, the gap with Wang Cheng is getting bigger and bigger...

   "Work hard, Wen Yixiao!"

  Wen Yixiao cheered herself up, then turned off the TV, and called several team members to continue training.

  …

  The broadcast of the program ends.

  Wu Tong and Fang Xueshu also quickly got the final report card.

  The clear and conspicuous numbers on the form made the two embrace excitedly...

   "Hahaha...we did it!"

   Wu Tong couldn't help laughing out loud.

  Fang Xueshu held the form, looked at the numbers on it and kept smiling.

  When Wang Cheng appeared on the stage, the straight-up curve was so beautiful, and the peak figure of 2.7 was like a magnet, attracting their attention and making them reluctant to move away.

  The highest ratings were 2.7, an increase of 0.5 from last week, and the average ratings also reached 2.3. The absolute trend of the fire also exceeded their previous highest expectations.

   For two consecutive weeks, the ratings have increased crazily.

   This is the trend that is going to take off…

   Wu Tong immediately took out his phone and called Wang Cheng.

  However, the tuk-tuk rang for a while, but no one answered.

Wu Tong put down the phone with a little regret, and did not share it with Wang Cheng. He felt a little regretful, and the other party said: "Continue to hype the heat and warm up the next episode of the show! Wait a minute, I will ask Wang Cheng if he will post it next week." New song, if he wants to release a new song, take advantage of the current popularity to warm up for next week's promotion, the audience's expectations will be higher, and the ratings of the next issue may break 3!"

   Break 3!

  When the two of them thought of this number, they trembled with excitement.

  They never thought that they would have the opportunity to produce a variety show with such a terrifying ratings in their lifetime.

  With the advent of the mobile network era and the traffic era, it is becoming more and more difficult and impossible to produce TV programs with high ratings.

  Because the proportion of TV in everyone's life and entertainment is getting smaller and smaller, and it is difficult to turn on the TV in many families even once a month. Usually, they watch mobile phones to watch videos, or watch videos on tablets, and do not watch TV at all!

  So, if the ratings are over 1.5, it will be difficult to improve, if the ratings are over 2, it will be a big hit, and if the ratings are over 3, it will be a phenomenal hit show.

   There hasn’t been a show with ratings over 3 for several years.

  Now the ultimate goal of many TV people is to produce a program with a rating of over 3.

  But this year, an Eastern Star has been released, and its ratings have reached a terrifying 3.5, which is even higher than the last time The Voice broke 3, but now it is more difficult to break the ratings than it was when The Voice broke 3.

  If the ratings of the spring and summer program group can also break 3, then this year's variety show market will usher in a big explosion.

  The director and producer of Oriental Star, He Lei and Li Guang, have been included in the history of TV program development, and have become the envy and research objects of everyone in the industry.

  If they can do it, they will also be remembered and studied by future generations.

  Thinking of this, the two immediately acted.

  Fang Xueshu announced the good news to the leaders in Taiwan, and at the same time asked for more resources and funds to create more luxurious stage effects and more popular publicity.

  Wu Tong interacted with several trainee managers under his banner, asked about the situation, revealed that the ratings were very good, and asked them to work hard, and finally called Wang Cheng again.

   tuk tuk tuk...

   Still no one answered...

  Wu Tong was a little worried, got up and walked to Wang Cheng's dormitory.

  When he came to the door of Wang Cheng's dormitory, Wu Tong was slightly relieved to see that the lights were on.

   After all, Wang Cheng is only a 19-year-old boy. He was afraid that Wang Cheng would encounter danger when he went out for a walk and did not come back. Then he, the program director, would be held responsible.

  Wang Cheng, a popular trainee with 25 million fans, if something happens to his program group, then his future in this life will come to an end.

fine!

  Wang Cheng is back.

   But why not answer the phone?

  Wu Tong knocked lightly on the door: "Wang Cheng, are you there?"

  Wang Cheng's calm voice came from inside: "Come in!"

   Wu Tong pushed open the door, closed it gently, and looked inside.

I saw Wang Cheng sitting on a chair under the light, his whole body was as stable as a big clock, his center of gravity was motionless, only his wrist was moving, and he was writing with a black pen, every stroke was natural and smooth, in the The notes left in the notebook are also so pleasing to the eye, and they seem to be a little better than the calligraphy of several modern pen calligraphers he has seen.

  He knew that he couldn't do it without twenty years of kung fu.

But.

  Wang Cheng is only nineteen years old.

  For young people nowadays, it is good to be able to write a sentence fluently. It is normal to forget words when picking up a pen. After all, everyone usually uses mobile phones and keyboards, and there are very few opportunities to write.

   Young people who can write good handwriting are even rarer.

  Where Wang Cheng is now, he may not be able to find anyone who can write first-hand calligraphy.

  However, Wang Cheng's handwriting is at the level of a calligraphy master!

   Wu Tong was shocked.

  Is this talent?

Scared!

   rustle rustle...

  In the room, there is only the rubbing sound of the pen in Wang Cheng's hand moving on the notebook, which is so pleasant.

Standing at the door, Wu Tong didn't want to disturb Wang Cheng. He just stood and watched Wang Cheng write, as if he was a student waiting for the teacher to correct his homework at the desk. say.

  Wang Cheng didn't write for a long time, just finished what he wanted to write in one breath, put down the pen, closed the notebook, and looked up at Wu Tong: "Director Wu, what's the matter?"

  Wu Tong came back to his senses and looked away, but his mind was still full of those words.

  —The night gave me black eyes, but I use them to find light.

  Looking at Wang Cheng, he asked curiously, "Was that just now?"

  Wang Cheng interrupted Wu Tong, and asked lightly, "Is there something wrong?"

  He didn't want to talk to Wu Tong about what was in his notebook, it was just something he wrote casually when he was writing, and he wrote whatever came to mind.

  Wu Tong took a deep breath, knowing what Wang Cheng meant, and instead of talking about those things, he immediately asked: "You didn't answer the phone just now, I was worried about you, so I came to see you."

  Wang Cheng: "Just now I was engrossed in writing, and the phone was muted, so I didn't see it."

  Wu Tong: "The broadcast of the show is over, the highest rating is 2.7, we succeeded."

  Wang Cheng looked at Wu Tong calmly, and said lightly: "Oh! I see!"

   Wu Tong looked at Wang Cheng—are you unhappy?

All right!

   This is Wang Cheng.

  He gradually got used to it and accepted it, and immediately got down to business: "By the way, are you going to release a new song next week? We plan to give you a warm-up promotion now... You also need to cooperate with us on Weibo."

  Talking about work matters, Wang Cheng nodded: "Okay, I see."

knew…

   Then do you want to post a song?

  Wu Tong looked expectantly and asked: "Then we informed you about the new song next week?"

  Wang Cheng: "Yes!"

   Confirmed, continue to release new songs!

  The ratings have stabilized...

  Wu Tong smiled and said: "Okay, then I'll make arrangements and not disturb your rest!"

  Wang Cheng: "Yes."

Wu Tong didn't care about Wang Cheng's indifferent attitude, and turned to leave, but when he walked half a foot out of the door, he still couldn't help turning his head and said to Wang Cheng: "The sentence just now is really well written, it's a song Poetry?"

  Wang Cheng just looked at Wu Tong and didn't speak.

Wu Tong smiled awkwardly, turned around and left, closed the door heavily again, walked out, let out a long breath, but the pictures of Wang Cheng's pen rustling in the notebook just now were still emerging in his mind , Those words seemed to be engraved in his mind.

  It seemed that it was written in his heart, giving him an inexplicable shock, which was engraved in his mind and could not get rid of.

  He immediately took out his mobile phone, typed in the words Heiye gave me black eyes on the browser, searched, but found countless useless information, and there was no such sentence in any works or pages!

   That is to say.

   No one has posted this sentence...

   That is, Wang Cheng himself created it?

  Wu Tong felt a little admiration for Wang Cheng again.

  He is only nineteen years old!

  I have lived on dogs for decades?

  The gap between people.

really big…

   Shake your head!

  Wu Tong called the publicity department to inform them of the next publicity plan, and immediately announced to the public that Wang Cheng will continue to release a new song next week, which will continue to push up the popularity of spring and summer with you.

  Wang Cheng didn't send a message on Weibo immediately, but started to boil water and soak his feet, getting ready for bed.

   As for sending Weibo messages...

   That's something for work, so I don't do it before going to bed now.

   Wait until tomorrow to wake up...
