This Star Doesn't Work Overtime Chapter 415

Chapter 415 413. Guess lantern riddles? One second to answer, how do you respond?

The young man was wearing a blue Confucian uniform, holding a folding fan in his hand, and walked out slowly with a steady step. His face was handsome and slightly green, as if he had just walked out of a wealthy family. He looked around. Very curious about everything.

The young man was accompanied by two maids, one was Wen Yixiao and the other was Han Xiao.

Wen Yixiao still had her hair **** in a bun. She looked quirky and full of aura. She was wearing a pink gauze skirt, which complemented the surrounding atmosphere.

Han Xiao, like Wang Cheng, wore a long cyan skirt, also had a bun, and was slightly taller than Wen Yixiao.

 “Sir, let's go over there and have a look, it's so lively over there!”

Han Xiao pointed to the group of people gathered in front and said excitedly. This excitement came from the heart.

In order to get the opportunity to perform this performance, she had to lend Wang Cheng's original painting of "The First Clearing of the West Lake" to Qin Shangran for three days. Now she can finally stand next to Wang Cheng on the stage.

Wen Yixiao also lent Xia Ke Xing to Qin Shangran for a few days before he got the opportunity to stand beside Wang Cheng.

An Keru's family is not an ordinary person in Beijing circles. In addition, he promised to have more interaction and cooperation with CCTV in the future, so he also got the opportunity to perform this time.

As for Zhu Ziqi and Lin Mi, neither of them are people in the Beijing circle, and there are no authentic works of Wang Cheng's works to lend to Qin Shangran and others, so the two could only agree to cooperate more with CCTV in the future, and then they got the opportunity to appear on the screen.

It's just that Zhu Ziqi and Lin Mi don't have as good a chance to appear as Wen Yixiao, Han Xiao, and An Keru. They have no chance to perform next to Wang Cheng today.

 As for Xia Xi who came to power temporarily...

I can only temporarily serve as a passerby.

In the center of the stage, there was a temporary red wooden second floor. Red lanterns were hung up and down the second floor. A large number of passers-by gathered at the door, including Han Lei, Wen Honglun, Ma Wenlong, Guan Hanliang, Luo Xueyi, and Xiao Daolin. , Liang Xiaoliang, Chen Yuqi, Wang Hongyi and other teachers and students from two famous schools!

At this time, these dozen teachers and students from two famous schools, also dressed in gorgeous ancient costumes, formed a circle at the entrance of the small building, looking at the excitement inside and the two figures upstairs.

Han Xiao and Wen Yixiao took the opportunity to grab Wang Cheng's hand and trotted over. They were like maids from a family who rarely went out. They couldn't wait to take a look when they saw the excitement.

Wang Cheng also stepped into the role of the young master, letting the two of them grab his wrists and look around curiously. Such a performance is not only required by the role, but also Wang Cheng's true mood at this time. It is the first time for him to participate in such a performance, and he is really curious.

“It seems to be the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Li family…”

“Prime Minister Li Jia? That was the previous prime minister.”

"The previous prime minister was also beyond our reach. I heard that Miss Li was only twenty-eight years old this year. She was born like a fairy. She was also well-educated and learned music, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child. I don't know how many young masters in the capital were rejected when they came to ask for marriage. Refused."

 “Then what do they want to do here?”

The comments of passers-by A, B, B and D around him let Wang Cheng know the identity of the people above him.

Sitting in the middle above is a young woman wearing a red dress. She is extremely exquisitely dressed and has a tall and well-proportioned figure. She is indeed stunning. She is actually Zhu Ziqi!

Beside Zhu Ziqi, standing was the host.

The host smiled and said: "Everyone, today is a great day, the Lantern Festival. Our young lady wants to find a young man with the most outstanding talents as her husband."

Someone in the group performance below immediately shouted: "What makes you outstandingly talented?"

The host replied: "The final winner will be the most talented young man who can answer the questions prepared by our lady in advance, and will be favored by our lady."

The host emphasized the word "young and talented" to let everyone pay attention that the target of selection is young and talented, not middle-aged and elderly...

Many viewers in the audience were also interested. It was their first time to watch such a live performance.

　　Take the two competing parties into a live form similar to the martial arts competition in martial arts novels to recruit a bride.

 This undoubtedly adds to the attraction...

 Especially, the winner will eventually be favored by the lady like a fairy.

 Zhang Huizhong whispered: "CCTV is indeed CCTV, and it still has capable people."

Wu Tong nodded and said: "Of course, although CCTV is a little more rigid, it still recruits the most talented people in the media circle every year. Only we can select the rest. In terms of talent reserves, CCTV is definitely the well-deserved No. 1 TV broadcaster in the country. One TV station.”

 Li Guang, Liu Jiahui and others all nodded in agreement.

Although many people are complaining about CCTV, CCTV's talents are undoubtedly the number one.

Many hosts on other TV stations mostly became monks halfway and then gained experience and became famous.

 However, many CCTV hosts are the most talented and top students from Communication University, and most of them have the ability to host large-scale programs as soon as they graduate.

  Such talent attraction is not available in other local TV stations.

Even local commercial TV stations such as Xiangnan Satellite TV and Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV, which have been as famous as CCTV in recent years, cannot compare with CCTV. Even though they provide better treatment than CCTV, those young talented students still prefer CCTV.

For example, Xia Xi, who is a passerby on the stage at this time, was directly given an annual salary of several million by Hunan Satellite TV at the beginning, and it can continue to increase in the future. There will be no commission for advertising endorsements, all of which will belong to Xia Xi herself.

However, Xia Xi still chose CCTV. Although the salary offered by CCTV was only a monthly salary of tens of thousands, including performance, the annual salary might only be around 500,000. The most important thing is that there is an internship period!

This is CCTV. Everyone is complaining about CCTV, but once there is a chance, everyone wants to go to CCTV...

Of course, there have been many famous hosts who have left CCTV in recent years. They have developed well after leaving CCTV, and their income has increased significantly compared to when they were at CCTV.

However, if CCTV had not accumulated several years of experience and reputation, would it have become very popular as soon as it came out?

A few people were thinking in their minds, and then looked at Wang Cheng who was walking over. Li Guang said curiously: "I wonder if the ratings are out now..."

Zhang Huizhong: "The previous one must have come out. I estimate that the ratings for Wang Cheng's appearance should be at least four points. When Wang Cheng's second game was full of Jiang Hong, it must have been above five points! Whether it can break through six points may depend on This time it's a Lantern Festival performance…”

After listening to it, several people agreed with Zhang Huizhong's guess. They all felt that this should be the closest to the real ratings data, and their eyes were filled with envy!

 A chance to break through the six-point rating.

 This is the opportunity that each of them dreams of...

It's a pity that now they can only watch CCTV make a breakthrough. They can only be bystanders at the scene.

Liu Jiahui said: "If the ratings of this program really exceed six, have you ever thought about the price we will pay if we try to win over Wang Cheng again?"

A few people were stunned for a moment, and then their expressions changed slightly!

 Obviously, they all paid attention to the ratings and Wang Cheng himself, but they forgot that in order to compete for Wang Cheng, CCTV offered a super high price of 900 million yuan in advertising fees for a single issue!

Then after the ratings of Wang Cheng's program exceed six points, the advertising fee cannot be lower than this program, right?

 How much will they give then?

 One billion? Hiss!

　　Everyone was slightly shocked in their hearts, and they took a deep breath to calm down.

Li Guang, Wu Tong, Zhang Huizhong, producers and directors from the TV station all looked at each other and felt tremendous pressure.

The announcement fee of one billion in a single issue, can it still be earned back?

Even if the ratings exceed six, can the investment be recouped?

 After all, it's just a program!

 How many years of operation will it take to earn one billion?

Only Liu Jiahui had a smile on his face. He said this deliberately to increase the pressure on a few people and give himself a competitive advantage.

 Because, he is not a producer under the TV station, but under Penguin Entertainment.

 Penguin Entertainment is the least expensive!

 It is also a traffic platform that is not bad at monetization.

 What is bad is the highest quality program.

If the competitor this time was not CCTV, Penguin Entertainment would not give up the opportunity so easily with ratings exceeding 6.

Of course, Penguin Entertainment does not have its own TV station, but it can cooperate with any TV station to occupy a dominant position, just like the Idol of Tomorrow performed by Wang Cheng this year.

Although Zhang Huizhong and others are a little stressed, if you think about it carefully, as long as you can increase the overall popularity of the TV station, it is not too difficult to earn back the one billion advertising fee...

Just like Wang Cheng's rural life program on Xiangnan Satellite TV, a midnight program that no one paid attention to at first became very popular after Wang Cheng appeared on it. Two episodes were recently produced, and the ratings were both stable at 2. Above this point, this is already a very successful variety show. Of course, long-term and stable advertising revenue cannot be measured by one billion.

Zhongyuan Satellite TV's Cultural Zhongyuan, after Wang Cheng and Wen Yixiao appeared on it, has now become the flagship program of Zhongyuan Satellite TV. Another episode was produced based on Wang Cheng's concept, and the ratings were over two points, and the reviews were also good. Yes, the overall benefits to China Satellite TV cannot be measured by one billion.

 Looking at the grand stage effect on the stage.

Zhang Huizhong, Wu Tong, and Li Guang all know that if this program continues to be produced as a series in the future, with Wang Cheng's bonus, the subsequent ratings will not be low, and the benefits to CCTV will also far exceed the payment to Wang Cheng's notification fee of 900 million.

so…

They know that as long as Wang Cheng's ratings myth continues and CCTV's program really breaks through the six-point rating, then the TV stations behind them will not stop chasing Wang Cheng, and the advertising fees given will only go up. Will not decrease.

 This is the law of the market.

At this time, on the stage, an extra performer came out carrying a lantern with a line of words written on it!

 The lantern riddle guessing has officially begun...

Han Lei, Wen Honglun, Wang Hongyi, Liang Xiaoliang, Chen Yuqi and others immediately tensed up their nerves, thinking that they could win back a victory at this stage, and their eyes immediately turned to the mystery on the lantern.

Wang Cheng just glanced at it and saw a cross written on it, and said calmly: "Cross and cross!"

Forehead…

Han Lei, Wen Honglun, Wang Hongyi and others were all stunned for a moment. They had just clearly seen a cross written on the lantern and were not yet sure what they wanted to guess...

 In the end, Wang Cheng gave the answer directly?

 Teachers and students from both teams quickly looked at the host above, wondering if this answer was correct.

Although, it seems that the idiom "crisscross" is very consistent with this cross.

but…

 What if what you want to guess is something other than an idiom?

The host smiled and said: "Congratulations to the prince for answering the question correctly!"

Zhu Ziqi, who was wearing bright red clothes, looked at Wang Cheng with a smile and clapped her hands gently.

Wang Cheng still had a smile on his face and was not proud of it. He looked at the next figure coming out with a lantern.

At this moment, Han Lei, Wen Honglun, Wang Hongyi and other teachers and students from Beijing University and Mizuki looked closely at the lanterns they took out, wanting to answer the lantern riddles on them as soon as possible.

 Thousands of spectators in the audience also remained silent, craning their necks to look at the lantern, wanting to guess the riddle immediately and come up with a limelight.

pity…

 The close-up of the lantern just appeared on the big screen, and everyone just saw clearly that there was still a word written on it - Blade!

Han Lei, Wen Honglun, Wang Hongyi, Liang Xiaoliang and others also started to think...

Wang Cheng's calm voice came out: "Call!"

 Then, Wang Hongyi also suddenly shouted: "Call!"

 Unfortunately, it was a second too late.

Wang Hongyi's pretty face was full of annoyance: “It's a little late, hey! The blade is the edge of the knife, and the sum of the edges is the word Zhao!”

Liang Xiaoliang, Chen Yuqi, Luo Xueyi, Xiao Daolin and others next to them all immediately understood after hearing this!

 However, they all admired Wang Hongyi's quick thinking.

 However, they looked at Wang Cheng a few meters away with even more admiration...

 Wang Cheng answered the two lantern riddles almost instantly as soon as he saw the riddle, as if without any thought, just like an AI that started with keywords, which made them all feel incredible.

They are all confident that such a question is not difficult. They can answer it if they are given a minute or two to think about, or even a few dozen seconds...

 However, Wang Cheng didn't give them any time at all. He answered the questions in one second, and the answer was the correct answer.

 They don't even have time to think!

　　The genius thinking ability that ordinary people like them look up to was completely crushed by Wang Cheng, leaving no room for him to display it.

The next second, each of them became even more focused, with extremely serious expressions. They stared at the third figure who came out, and stared at the lantern in that figure's hand without blinking!

Wang Cheng, who was next to him, still looked calm, holding a folding fan in his right hand and patting it gently in the palm of his left hand. Wen Yixiao and Han Xiao, who were next to him, also looked closely at the third lantern.

What surprised Wang Hongyi, Liang Xiaoliang, Chen Yuqi and other players from the two teams, as well as many viewers in the audience.

 On the third lantern, there is still only one word!

 Everyone who saw this word immediately started thinking...

They all wanted to answer it before Wang Cheng.
