This Star Doesn't Work Overtime Chapter 398

Chapter 398 396. The stubborn islanders! Even if I die, I won't agree!

Qin Shangran also felt a lot of pressure!

 He represents CCTV.

 In normal times, there is no need for him to come forward in person, and even if other people on the stage come forward to invite celebrity artists, no matter how big the celebrity artist is, it is impossible for him to give a high price.

Basically, it's just a friendly price, and the other party will agree.

Wang Cheng was the first one to ask Qin Shangran, one of the deputy directors of CCTV, to come forward in person to bid, and the price was such an outrageous one!

Listen to the outrageous quotes from Dragon TV, Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV, Xiangnan TV, and Penguin Entertainment.

 Qin Shangran thought quickly, looked at a few people, and then at Shen Shenghui and Qin Yuhai.

He knew clearly that even if CCTV offered a high price, Qin Yuhai and Shen Shenghui may not want CCTV's high price in their hearts, and would rather CCTV to sign them as a favor!

However, Qin Shangran certainly doesn't want to sign favors. Never owe favors for things that can be done with money.

Moreover, if he takes Wang Cheng away at a low price now, it will be tantamount to offending Dragon TV, Xiangnan TV, Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV, and Penguin Entertainment.

 There is no fair competition.

so.

Qin Shangran thought for a moment and then looked at the door of the dormitory where Wang Cheng lived.

If it were before, he would never have been able to ask for so many visits from a star artist...

 But now, he felt that there seemed to be nothing wrong with it.

 “Nine hundred million!”

Qin Shangran calmly reported the highest price he could give after discussing with the leaders in Taili!

 If it were higher...

He was about to go back to the meeting again. He glanced at Li Guang and others nervously, a little worried that they would continue to raise prices.

  After all, the TV station and Penguin Entertainment behind these people are not short of money.

Especially Penguin Entertainment, in terms of financial resources, may be higher than CCTV.

 Liu Jiahui's lips moved and he wanted to continue to raise the price to one billion.

 He really wanted to invite Wang Cheng over...

However, Mr. Lei from Penguin Entertainment personally called him and told him that it was best not to offend CCTV. The price is about the same and don't use money to force CCTV to come to Taiwan!

 As for Wang Cheng…

There will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future. Just wait until next time to spend money to grab them.

 So, Liu Jiahui forcibly resisted the urge to continue to quote, his face was calm, and he fell silent.

Li Guang, Zhang Huizhong, and Wu Tong looked at each other, and they all wanted to make an offer.

However, they do not have the terrifying financial resources of Penguin Entertainment. They can directly spend money to force CCTV to retreat. At most, they can raise the price slightly, but that is meaningless, because CCTV will definitely follow through with a small price increase, but they still cannot force CCTV to retreat. , and even offend CCTV...

so!

Li Guang and the other three also fell silent, feeling a little regretful in their hearts.

They are not afraid of offending CCTV, but they are afraid that they will not gain anything from offending CCTV.

If they had the financial resources of Penguin Entertainment, they would definitely throw money at Wang Cheng, even if they offended CCTV.

  Anyway, it is a competitive relationship!

You can't force us to sign the people you want from CCTV, right?

pity…

 Still not rich enough.

Li Guang forced a smile and said: "Director Qin, you are so courageous! The sky-high advertising fee of 900 million for a single period is worthy of CCTV."

 Zhang Huizhong also said: "Director Qin, we are waiting for your record-breaking good news!"

Wu Tong sighed: "Hey..."

Several people feel that Wang Cheng's next program will definitely break the record set last time on Beijing Satellite TV, and the highest ratings in the past two decades will be raised to a terrifying six points.

 Qin Shangran felt the pressure again.

 Because, only he knew that this program was originally designed to respond to the policy program promoting traditional culture.

 How many viewers can a traditional cultural program have?

Wenhua Zhongyuan, which Zhongyuan Satellite TV previously invited Wang Cheng, Wen Yixiao and others to produce, was the traditional cultural program with the highest ratings in the past two decades.

However, the dance performances of the underwater flying goddess and the sword dance of the Tang Dynasty, as well as the classic scenes of Wang Cheng writing two master-level calligraphy knights on the spot, are still very popular to this day, with the number of views on Penguin Video It still remains high, and it is no exaggeration to say that it will become an eternal classic picture.

And Qin Shangran knew that the core of the program prepared by CCTV this time was traditional cultural content. There were no performances such as dance, and there were no big-name celebrities such as Wen Yixiao and An Keru joining the show. Almost all the people present were from the cultural circle. , there is almost no external visibility.

In this way, CCTV's programs have no advantages in terms of content or lineup.

 The only interesting thing is Wang Cheng!

 So, in order to replicate Wang Cheng's previous miracle ratings.

Qin Shangran asked the program team to change the broadcast to live broadcast, and the time was changed to 5 p.m., which Wang Cheng was accustomed to.

This unpopular time period that dogs didn't care about before seems to have become the most golden time period now.

I just hope to tap into Wang Cheng's popularity and ratings potential as much as possible...

Qin Shangran reached out and shook hands with Li Guang and Zhang Huizhong, and said politely: "The record is not that easy to break, and the content of the program is relatively monotonous..."

 After being polite, Qin Shangran shook hands with Shen Shenghui and said, "Director Shen, happy cooperation!"

Shen Shenghui was not surprised by this result. He and Qin Yuhai had expected it, so he smiled and said: "Happy cooperation!"

 Qin Shangran finally shook hands with Qin Yuhai, the boss of Rubik's Cube Entertainment: "Mr. Qin, your company's current ability to make money is terrifying."

Qin Yuhai also smiled bitterly and said, "It's just good luck. I don't know how long it will last!"

Shen Shenghui picked up his phone and looked at the time: "It's nine o'clock. It's Wang Cheng's work time. Let me knock on the door!"

Several people were waiting at the door of Wang Cheng's dormitory. They did not knock on the door immediately because they wanted to wait until Wang Cheng's work time. They did not want to disturb Wang Cheng during his rest time and leave a bad impression on Wang Cheng.

Qin Shangran also tried his best to abide by this point, completely forgetting his initial resistance to Wang Cheng's weird rules.

 Shen Shenghui quickly stepped forward and knocked on the door: "Wang Cheng, it's time to go to work!"

"Um!"

 There was a voice coming from inside.

Then. A few minutes later, at exactly nine o'clock, Wang Cheng opened the dormitory door and walked out.

Wang Cheng had already packed up and saluted. He was carrying a schoolbag and holding a suitcase in his hand. He glanced at the people at the door and asked in a calm tone: "Where are you going?"

 He knew that the new job must have been negotiated.

Several people looked at Wang Cheng with mixed emotions and saw that Wang Cheng was still simple and clean. They hadn't seen him for a week, and his style and temperament were still the same.

Qin Shangran took the initiative to step forward and extend his hand to Wang Cheng: "Wang Cheng, hello, it seems that you are going to the capital again. It's a pleasure to work with you. Your accommodation has been arranged for you. There is a courtyard house under the name of our TV station. Usually there is nothing. I will arrange for you to live alone this time, and you can live there as long as you want."

Wang Cheng stretched out his hand and shook Qin Shangran's hand casually. They were still separated by touch, and said calmly: "No, the hotel will do."

In his last life, he lived in a courtyard house, which is a very large courtyard connected by four sets of courtyard houses. Although he didn't live there for a long time, he had deep memories, so he didn't want to live in a courtyard house now, and he didn't want to have too much nostalgia.

Qin Shangran was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Wang Cheng to make a request, and immediately said: "Of course! However, if the hotel is not booked in advance, you may not be able to book the best room. Besides, I know you like walking and exercising, so stay in the hotel If you can't go out, you can only walk around the room. If you live in a courtyard, the space for activities is much larger."

Wang Cheng thought about it, and it seemed to be the same.

In the past few days, he has been walking in the small space of the dormitory. Although his mood is still calm and he doesn't pay much attention to it, it has some impact.

"Fine."

Wang Cheng agreed casually, and then walked out with a salute in hand, preparing to go to the airport.

Qin Shangran breathed a sigh of relief and immediately followed Wang Cheng.

Outside, when the program director Li Cheng saw Wang Cheng and Qin Shangran coming down, he knew it was done and quickly stepped forward to shake hands with Wang Cheng: "Hello Wang Cheng, I am the program director this time, Li Cheng. I hope we can cooperate happily!"

Wang Cheng hummed, quickly shook hands with Li Cheng, and then walked to the nanny car next to the three assistants. The assistant quickly opened the door for Wang Cheng, and Wang Cheng put his luggage away before getting in the car and sitting down.

 Qin Shangran, Shen Shenghui, and Qin Yuhai all breathed a sigh of relief.

 They were all afraid that Wang Cheng would be less cooperative after he went on vacation.

 Now it seems that they are overthinking.

 Wang Cheng's dedication is as good as ever.

Shen Shenghui whispered: "Director Qin, let's go to the capital together and sign the contract when we get there."

Qin Shangran nodded: "Okay, we will sign the contract when we get to the capital. Once the signing is completed, we will pay you the notification fee in one go! By the way...can't we really sign a full-season contract?"

 Even if it is an outrageous single-issue announcement fee of 900 million.

 However, Qin Shangran still wants to sign a full-season contract with Wang Cheng!

However, if you have a full-season contract, the single-issue announcement fee will be discounted.

Because it is impossible for CCTV to pay Rubik's Cube Entertainment tens of billions in advertising fees per season...

Even CCTV, which has deep pockets and annual advertising revenue of tens of billions, cannot afford it.

General big-name stars are also willing to sign full-season contracts. Even if the advertising fee is discounted, it is a stable long-term income.

If you just sign a single notice, who knows how long the popularity will last? What if I don't perform well next time in the announcement?

 Hence, people like Wang Cheng who have been signing single-issue announcements are an anomaly.

Li Guang, Zhang Huizhong, Wu Tong, and Liu Jiahui were all shocked when they heard Qin Shangran's words. They looked at Qin Yuhai and Shen Shenghui worriedly, fearing that if Rubik's Cube Entertainment agreed, their next cooperation with Wang Cheng would be postponed. When is it.

 What if Wang Cheng's popularity is not as high as it is now?

fine!

Qin Yuhai said in person: "Director Qin, we are our own family, so we won't say anything false. Wang Cheng's contract is not long, so it is impossible for me to sign a longer contract for him. Not only the program contract, but also the advertising contract Contracts, or other contracts, are like this!"

Qin Shangran nodded, smiled, and was noncommittal. He never thought that Qin Yuhai would agree, so he immediately said: "Okay, then I hope we have a chance to cooperate next time!"

 Qin Yuhai: "Of course there will be..."

Qin Shangran shook hands with Qin Yuhai and others again, then got into his nanny car and led the way to the airport.

But Shen Shenghui still followed Wang Cheng into the car, and then the nanny car started to follow Qin Shangran's car, and they went to the airport together!

Shen Shenghui looked at Wang Cheng who was still reading a book as he did a week ago. He felt an inexplicable peace of mind in his heart. If Wang Cheng suddenly changed drastically, he would still be worried and unaccustomed. He looked at Wang Cheng and said softly : "Wang Cheng, this CCTV program is a traditional cultural program. According to the information I know, the people participating in the program are celebrities from prestigious schools and cultural circles in Beijing. Please be mentally prepared."

 Hurrah!

Wang Cheng gently turned the pages of the book and ignored Shen Shenghui's words.

Shen Shenghui didn't care about this either. He had long been used to it and continued: "Last time, Lu Zhen and Jia Qian went to Beijing University after leaving the Magic City. Beijing University also held a cultural exchange forum. There was a competition at the exchange meeting! Several students from Peking University and students from island countries competed in ancient poetry, modern poetry, couplets, and calligraphy. In the end, Peking University came out on top."

Wang Cheng hummed, not surprised at all.

If Peking University really loses to people from island countries in traditional Chinese studies and cultural projects, then the Chinese Department of Peking University can really close its doors. In the future, the ranking of the Chinese Studies field of Peking University will definitely decline.

Shen Shenghui was a little excited when he heard Wang Cheng's reply, and immediately continued: "The next day, Lu Zhen, Jia Qian and the others went to Shuimu again, and were defeated by Shuimu again. Now, Lu Zhen, Jia Qian and the others They are staying in the capital, and it is said that their study tour is over and will not continue."

Wang Cheng hummed again, expressing some incomprehension that Lu Zhen, Jia Qian and their group were so stubborn that they lost to Beijing University and continued to go to Shuimu to provoke them.

Shen Shenghui: "However, I heard that they are still not convinced. Because they lost to Beijing University and Mizuki with a slight disadvantage. It's not like when Shuangxing faced you, you were crushed and had no way to fight back. Power. Some of the works they wrote against Shuimu at Beijing University have not been circulated, and their popularity is not high. Compared with your Liangzhou Ci, Facing the Sea, Spring is Warm and Flowers are Blooming, the gap is obvious."

"But, I heard that your first couplet, "Lonely, cold, windowless, and widowed," has been criticized by several students and teachers from Beijing University and Mizuki University. They have all posted it on the Internet, and the popularity is not low. "

 Just when Shen Shenghui was chatting with Wang Cheng about recent events.

In the car in front, Qin Shangran picked up the phone and made a call. The call was quickly connected, and a voice as clear as a lark came from the other side: "Director Qin..."

This sound is simply like God's blessing.

Qin Shangran felt very comfortable every time he listened to it. He smiled and said, "Xia Xi, are you not busy these two days?"

Opposite him was Xia Xi, a newcomer who had just been recruited by CCTV this year. Xia Xi replied: "I'm not busy. I mainly focus on studying now."

Qin Shangran continued to smile and said: "Then I will give you a task, can you complete it?"

Xia Xi was puzzled. This was the first time Qin Shangran took the initiative to call her. His attitude was still so good, which made her wary. She said softly: "Director Qin, if it is too important a task, I may not be able to handle it. I am still intern." Where is the period? How about you ask other senior teachers?"

Qin Shangran: "Haha, Xia Xi, I'm giving you a chance to show off. I want you to serve as a tour guide assistant for a heavyweight program guest invited by our station in the past two days. This is his second time in the capital. I'm not familiar with this place. Your job content is very simple, just follow his instructions during working hours, take him to eat, drink and have fun, and all expenses will be reimbursed at the counter, no matter how much it costs."

Forehead…?

Xia Xi's pretty face was full of doubts and annoyance…

 Ask me to work as a tour guide assistant for the guests on the show? How about taking him to eat, drink and have fun?

 What guests have this qualification?

 Since when did CCTV arrange tour guide assistants for program guests?

Isn't this a way to accompany guests?

Even if I die, I will not agree.
