This Star Doesn’t Work Overtime

Chapter 355: 353 This Year's Spring Festival Gala, Ch

  Chapter 355 353. This year's Spring Festival Gala changed for Wang Cheng?

  Wang Cheng returned to the hotel room, put down all his simple luggage, and was fine...

  Under the strange gaze of the three assistants, for the first time, Wang Cheng did not sit down and read a book quietly, but stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the hotel, looking at the capital, which was no less prosperous than he remembered.

   There are still many high-rise buildings, but they are not the same as in memory. Only some ancient buildings that can be vaguely seen from a distance are somewhat similar to the pictures in memory!

   This is the capital where he fought for decades in his previous life.

  Wang Cheng reminisced for a few minutes, then gradually let go of the complicated emotions in his heart, smiled lightly, and completely faded the past memories, then sat down quietly, continued to pick up a book and read, and it was time to eat in a while. After lunch and lunch break, he had to go to Beijing Satellite TV to work in the afternoon.

  The time can be said to be fully arranged...

   tuk tuk...

   There was a knock on the door.

  Wang Cheng didn't say a word. He just got off the plane not long ago. He wanted to read a book quietly and didn't want to meet people. He had already met enough people today.

  The assistants saw that Wang Cheng did not speak, and they did not open the door, even though they had seen Shen Shenghui outside through the cat's eyes.

  The chief assistant couldn't help reminding: "Wang Cheng, it's Director Shen!"

  Wang Cheng still read the book quietly and didn't answer, obviously he didn't want to see him anymore.

  The three assistants looked at each other, but they couldn't help but remained silent, and they didn't answer the door.

  Shen Shenghui waited at the door for more than a minute. Seeing that no one opened the door for him, his face was a little helpless, but he was used to it, so he was not very angry. He could only turn around and go back to his room, and called Qin Yuhai back. After discussing Zhang Ge's invitation, the two decided to temporarily refuse!

  Shen Shenghui called Zhang Ge again: "Director Zhang, I discussed it with President Qin. Wang Cheng may not be able to accept your film appointment for the time being."

   Zhang Ge's voice is more serious: "Do you disagree, or Wang Cheng disagrees?"

  Shen Shenghui hesitated for a second, but still didn't dare to blame Wang Cheng. He was already in awe of Wang Cheng, and smiled wryly: "It's our President Qin who said that now is not the time. Director Zhang, although Wang Cheng has shown excellent acting skills and potential on the stage of I am an actor."

   "However, after all, he hasn't had any training, and he hasn't acted in a serious play. Your play is so important and the investment is so big, we are afraid that you will screw it up!"

   Zhang Ge over there was indeed silent for a while, obviously hesitant after hearing this.

  Although he also liked to use newcomers before, but the newcomers he used were from serious majors and had rich performance experience. He had never used a pure newcomer like Wang Cheng, and it was indeed a bit risky to think carefully and rationally at this time.

   After all, this is the first time he has set foot in a large-scale commercial film, and he has also combined Hollywood capital and superstar cooperation. Once he messes up, it will definitely be a major blow to his reputation.

so…

   After hesitating for a few seconds, Zhang Ge said, "Then, how about Wang Cheng come over and play a supporting role?"

  Worried that Wang Cheng is too young and too inexperienced to be able to stand up to the leading man, but he is also greedy for Wang Cheng's popularity, what should I do?

  Then give a supporting role with few roles, and see how Wang Cheng’s performance is. If he performs well, cut less, and if he does not perform well, cut more. Just leave some frontal shots to promote and attract popularity!

  This is the cooperation experience of many directors and big-name stars who have acted across industries.

  Shen Shenghui smiled bitterly and said, "Director Zhang, do you think Wang Cheng will agree to play a supporting role?"

  Zhang Ge asked lightly: "Why can't you agree?"

  Shen Shenghui did not answer this easily offending question, but asked again: "One more thing, Director Zhang. I think you should have heard the rumors about Wang Cheng's work and rest time in the circle, right? He has his own working hours every day, and the same is true for joining your crew. Can you agree?"

   Silent...

   Zhang Ge fell silent now.

   It is absolutely impossible for him to agree to this point.

   It is impossible for anyone in his crew to have privileges.

  Whether it is a big-name actor in the mainland circle or a senior big-name superstar from Hong Kong and Taiwan, he is treated the same when working with him.

  Wang Cheng is here, so naturally!

   Otherwise, where will he put his face as an international art director? Where will the faces of other big-name celebrities who have lowered their profile go?

   Zhang Ge said in a deep voice: "When he enters the crew, he must abide by the crew's regulations. No one can make an exception for this. I think he should be able to understand."

  Shen Shenghui still didn't argue, but said: "In order to persuade Wang Cheng to go to the Spring Festival Gala after 8 o'clock, Director Xie came to see Wang Cheng three times, but was rejected by Wang Cheng. It is said that now Director Xie wants to persuade the leaders of CCTV to add an hour of performance before 8 o'clock, and hold a special show for Wang Cheng!"

All right…

   Now, Zhang Ge fell silent again.

  Although Shen Shenghui didn't say anything, he just talked about it, as if it had nothing to do with him.

  However, Zhang Ge himself knew this matter clearly. After all, Xie Xingfeng had a good relationship with him, and he had also learned about this matter.

  He thinks that his face is not as great as Yangma's Spring Festival Gala.

  Wang Cheng didn't even give him the face of the Spring Festival Gala, so it was reasonable to reject him.

  So, he doesn't have to touch this wall!

   After a few seconds of silence, Zhang Ge said: "If Wang Cheng sticks to his so-called work and rest time, no crew can tolerate him. His future development in the film and television field will be very difficult!"

  Shen Shenghui: "Thank you Director Zhang for your suggestion. I also know that I am constantly persuading him. If he changes in the future, then I will definitely be the first to cooperate with Director Zhang!"

   Zhang Ge was greedy for Wang Cheng's traffic after all, but at Wang Cheng's age, he would definitely be popular for many years in the future, so he agreed: "Of course, I don't want Wang Cheng, a young man full of potential, to be buried."

  Shen Shenghui took advantage of the situation and said: "Director Zhang, you see, our Rubik's Cube Entertainment has a strong influence in Shanghai and the South. It will definitely help your crew..."

   Zhang Ge knew that Shen Shenghui came early to benefit, and he did not refuse, saying: "I will discuss it with other people. If they agree, you Rubik's Cube Entertainment can send people to bring money into the group!"

  Shen Shenghui smiled and said: "That's great, Director Zhang, this is definitely the best choice. We, Rubik's Cube Entertainment, are definitely your best partner..."

  Zhang Ge: "Hehe, I hope so!"

  The two of them made a false show of affection, then hung up the phone and said goodbye.

  Shen Shenghui walked back and forth in the room, and then called Qin Yuhai. Qin Yuhai was obviously working there, and he was in contact just now, and wanted to invest a sum of money in Zhang Ge's project!

   Now, Mofang Entertainment is not an exaggeration to say that it is the company with the most cash in the entertainment industry. Even if Penguin Entertainment does not apply for funds from Penguin Group, it will not be as rich as Mofang Entertainment.

  After discussing with Qin Yuhai, Shen Shenghui and Qin Yuhai decided on the idea of ​​a minimum investment of 100 million yuan, but whether it will be successful or not depends on the operation.

  However, when Shen Shenghui asked: "If Wang Cheng is allowed to go to Qin Mo's crew, how much will he be paid for the film? Although they are all his own people, they can't let Wang Cheng suffer, and make him feel bad!"

  Qin Yuhai said indifferently: "Qin Mo's crew is messing around there. If Wang Cheng is willing to go, then give him the project and treat it as a film salary!"

  Shen Shenghui was silent for a while, and then said: "Then what if it catches fire?"

  Qin Yuhai smiled and said, "Is it possible?"

  Shen Shenghui thought about it, but also thought it was impossible.

  In the past few years, the domestic film market has developed very maturely. It has become impossible to make money purely by hype and harvesting stupid fans. The quality of the film itself has become more and more important.

  Wang Cheng's movie may be able to earn some box office at the beginning based on its own popularity, but they all think it is impossible to make a lot of money. After all, Qin Mo is messing around there, and they all know it clearly.

   If you can earn some box office, it will be regarded as the remuneration for Wang Cheng...

   It would be enough if this bad movie could suppress Wang Cheng's imagination and fame.

  ...

  After Ma Guiqiang and Shen Shenghui signed the contract, Beijing Satellite TV immediately announced the news of Wang Cheng's midnight ring show tomorrow.

   "Welcome Wang Chenglai to cooperate with our TV station's Midnight Challenge Show. The show will be broadcast live at 5 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Wang Cheng will make an appointment with you. See you soon..."

   Simple sentence.

  It was as if a depth bomb had been dropped in the entertainment industry.

  All the insiders who are following Wang Cheng and looking forward to the cooperation between Wang Cheng and Beijing Satellite TV, as well as many fans of Wang Cheng's fans, were stunned when they saw this news!

  The popularity also exploded in an instant, directly parachuting to the top of the list of major social platforms.

   Many people's keyboards are fighting like crazy...

   "I'm stupid, I watched it carefully over and over again, and I'm sure I read it right. It's really a ring show? Wang Cheng is going to be in the ring? Is it a ring or a judge?"

   "Looking at Wang Cheng's delicate skin and tender flesh, are you sure he can fight in the ring?"

   "Although Wang Cheng has a good kung fu foundation when his idol performs Chinese Kung Fu tomorrow. However, it is two different things to actually fight in the arena. I checked, and there are professional fighters in the arena at midnight. If Wang Cheng meets him, he will definitely be beaten..."

   "Who arranged this show for Wang Cheng? Fighting in the ring? Is there a mistake?"

   "Wang Cheng, just hold a few concerts in the capital, what kind of arena?"

   "One thing to say, I'm inexplicably looking forward to it. Some people always say that the young fresh meats nowadays are too pussy, they are too weak, and they punch one by one. Although Wang Cheng is not a young fresh meat who relies on his face to make a living, he is also a young artist. It is time to go to the ring to prove whether the young people are weak or not."

   "By the way, what if Wang Cheng is beaten to the point of bleeding?"

   "I dare not watch it, but I really want to watch it..."

  …

  The last sentence is the mentality of most Wang Cheng fans. They dare not watch, they are afraid that Wang Cheng will be beaten, but they still want to watch, want to see what Wang Cheng looks like standing in the ring with his peerless looks?

   There are still many fans who even want to see Wang Cheng being beaten...

   Is there a broken aesthetic?

  Of course, there are still many industry insiders and passers-by who don’t like Wang Cheng, and they look forward to Wang Cheng being beaten to the point of bleeding, so that their keyboards will be able to fight again!

  Wang Cheng has no black spots?

  No, here comes the black dot that can bring rhythm...

  Shen Shenghui received a call from the studio.

   "Director Shen, Wang Cheng will be in the ring tomorrow, do you need to hype it up?"

  Shen Shenghui was taken aback for a moment. He still remembered that the studio took the initiative to refund the public relations fee last time, saying that it would not accept Wang Cheng's order, and now it took the initiative to hype Wang Cheng again?

   "What? Do you think this is an opportunity?"

   Shen Shenghui asked.

  The owner of the studio smiled and said: "Of course, Director Shen, the live broadcast of Wang Cheng being beaten, isn't it an opportunity? I believe, this is definitely an opportunity! I also heard that the announcement fee for Wang Cheng's show this time broke another record, 430 million. This is also a point that can be hyped..."

  Shen Shenghui: "That's fine. You guys try to hype it first. If it works, I will ask the company to pay a public relations fee."

  The owner of the studio immediately said: "Okay, no problem!"

   After finishing speaking, both of them hung up the phone. After all, it was not something glorious. There was no need to talk so much on the phone. It would be bad if someone suddenly heard it and spread it.

  Hung up the phone, a smile appeared on Shen Shenghui's face.

Four p.m…

  Wang Cheng walked out of the room, carrying the bag he carried with him, which contained a thermos cup and two books, and went out into the elevator.

  Shen Shenghui and his assistant also followed Wang Cheng.

  The elevator had just reached the first floor, and Tang Ping, the program producer, came to greet her at the door.

  However, there was a middle-aged man standing beside Tang Ping, which made Shen Shenghui look a little weird.

  Because, the person who came was Xie Xingfeng whom he and Zhang Ge had mentioned, the chief director of this year's Spring Festival Gala!

  From yesterday to today, Xie Xingfeng called him hundreds of times, but he didn't answer them.

  Because, he knew that he couldn't answer Xie Xingfeng's question about Wang Cheng.

  Unexpectedly, Xie Xingfeng came to the door again.

  When Xie Xingfeng saw the elevator open, a smile appeared on his originally calm face, he skipped over Shen Shenghui and several assistants, walked towards Wang Cheng first, and stretched out his hand, "Wang Cheng, we meet again!"

  Wang Cheng stretched out his hand and shook Xie Xingfeng lightly, and the moment he touched it, he said flatly, "The live broadcast after eight o'clock is impossible!"

  Tang Ping did not speak, and led the way to the nanny car that had been waiting for a long time at the door. There were dozens of security guards standing at the door to maintain order, blocking the densely packed media and fans from outside.

  Xie Xingfeng did not hide his whereabouts, and directly followed Wang Cheng into the car in front of many media. Once he got into the car, regardless of Tang Ping and others present, he said directly to Wang Cheng, "You don't need to work overtime. I paid a lot of money. In addition, your recent amazing performance has convinced everyone."

   "This year's Spring Festival Gala will change for you! This is the first time in decades that the Spring Festival Gala has changed for a single person."

  Xie Xingfeng's tone and expression were extremely serious and serious, and there was even excitement in his eyes.

   Shen Shenghui and Tang Ping in the car all pricked up their ears, looking at Xie Xingfeng and Wang Cheng in shock!
