This Star Doesn't Work Overtime Chapter 482

 The New Year is approaching!

The Spring Festival Gala program team is definitely the busiest, bar none.

Whether it is the celebrity artists who are going to perform or the staff of the program team, they are rehearsing over and over again every day. They work from dawn to dusk in order to perform perfectly on the stage!

Secondly, there are the crews who are about to release the movie during the Spring Festival. The results of their hard work for a year are about to be tested. Everyone is working hard to promote it and want to get a higher box office!

 As for Li Youhua, he occupied both.

but…

Li Youhua is not busy at all.

because.

He would go there every day at 8:30, which used to be around 8:50, and then chat with other people who came early, and then start work at 9 o'clock.

 At one o'clock at noon, they still have time to rest, and get off work on time at eight o'clock in the afternoon.

Li Youhua has never experienced such leisurely and regular working hours since he entered the entertainment industry, giving him the illusion of enjoying retirement life in advance.

 However, he knew that these were brought by Wang Cheng.

Even the most powerful ones such as CCTV and the Spring Festival Gala program team are resigned to Wang Cheng.

 The rest of them naturally listened to Wang Cheng in everything.

 After returning to his residence, Li Youhua still needs to participate in the promotion of the movie, posting messages on his Weibo or short video platform to interact with fans, promote his movie, and occasionally interact with other members of the crew.

Another day when he returned to his residence, Li Youhua had a guest, Jiang Bin, the director of the movie he participated in this year.

"Lao Li, I heard from your girl that you have been getting off work on time and going to work on time every day recently. You are very leisurely?"

As if Jiang Bin had returned to his own home, he sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and asked curiously: "I heard that you are cooperating with Wang Cheng this time?"

Li Youhua smiled: "Yes, working with Wang Cheng is not leisurely, but it is indeed the most relaxing working time in my life!"

Jiang Bin: "Old Li, there is something wrong with your words. Are you blaming me for squeezing you?"

　　Li Youhua: "Is this really true? Who hasn't been squeezed by you?"

The two were friends before they entered the entertainment industry, and their decades-long friendship was extremely casual.

Jiang Bin smiled, got closer and asked curiously: "So, Wang Cheng really goes to and from get off work on time every day? You also enjoy this kind of treatment? Is CCTV pampering him like this?"

Li Youhua nodded: "That's not true. Qin Shangran and Xie Xingfeng often come together to wait, and Wang Cheng ignores them!"

Jiang Bin raised his eyebrows. He knew the news in the circle. He knew that Xie Xingfeng had personally invited Wang Cheng several times, and continued to lobby the people above him. He persuaded Qin Shangran to change the time for Wang Cheng, and then promoted it. The person who collaborated this time asked: "So, what's going on? How is Wang Cheng? Is he a fool of himself? Have you asked about the movie he starred in and directed this time?"

Jiang Bin took a temporary break from the publicity and returned to the capital this time, just to have a good chat with Li Youhua and find out what Li Youhua had learned from Wang Cheng.

Li Youhua took a big sip of tea with a slightly complicated expression, looked at Jiang Bin and said seriously: "Old Jiang, you know I have never served anyone in my life!"

Jiang Bin: "That is, when we got into this circle together, no one accepted it! Now we are the same, no one accepts it! Why, Wang Cheng let you accept it?"

Li Youhua smiled bitterly: "You have never met him or been in contact with him. Otherwise, you have to accept it! As for music, I am really convinced. He wrote five songs in one day, which perfectly fit Qin Shangran's message His five themes for the Spring Festival Gala are friendship, love, family affection, blessings for tomorrow, and praising lovely people!”

Of course, Jiang Bin has long known the magical legend of Wang Cheng in pop music.

 It is said that Wang Cheng's works are all temporary creations, produced immediately, and then they become masterpieces that become big hits!

 He had always been doubtful about these legends before.

Hearing what Li Youhua said, Jiang Bin asked: "Have you listened to all five songs? How about it? Which one did you sing?"

Li Youhua said seriously: "Every song is bound to be a hit! Ten of us sang one of the songs! There is a confidentiality agreement, so I will definitely not tell you the details. I can only tell you that in music For one thing, his talent has been underestimated by the outside world!"

 Jiang Bin's eyes flashed with surprise: "Is it more powerful than the legend?"

Li Youhua nodded: "It's much more powerful..."

Jiang Bin stood up, obviously not believing it.

Li Youhua: "The performance will be tomorrow. You will believe it after seeing it."

Jiang Bin hummed, and then asked: "Do you know about his movies? I think Rubik's Cube Entertainment's promotional campaign has been reduced recently, maybe because they are not optimistic about it? However, the theaters have signed exhibition contracts, and the number of screens There is no reduction! If word-of-mouth collapses after it is released, we can ask for more screens."

Li Youhua shook his head: "I asked a few questions about the movie, but didn't ask any more. Wang Cheng is difficult to communicate with. I wanted to say a few words to him, but he ignored me and was even harder to get along with than the legend says. . An Keru said that the movie made by Wang Cheng is the best science fiction movie she has ever seen in her life! You can weigh it yourself to the extent of her words."

Jiang Bin nodded: "An Keru has been pursuing Wang Cheng without any limit. In order to make Wang Cheng's movie, she gave up the film contract with Director Song, which offended a lot of people! Of course she will say that Wang Cheng's movie is good."

Why…

Sighed!

Jiang Bin was a little helpless: "Wang Cheng's popularity is really too high, and theaters are also watching this. Popularity represents traffic, customer base, and box office. When it is released tomorrow night, I will go see one, and then It's good to formulate a promotion strategy! If it's a bad movie, then we have a chance to get more screens.”

Jiang Bin is very ambitious this year. The first bullet he filmed this time was a script that he polished for three years before writing. It took nearly two years from planning to filming this year!

Originally, there was no doubt that he would be the kindest star in the Spring Festival this year and could win the most big screen spots. After all, his last movie had a box office of more than 2 billion, and the starring role was also a very popular actor from Baodao. Ouyang Hai, who recently participated in various major variety shows to promote the popularity, is second only to Wang Cheng's The Matrix.

As long as The Matrix's box office reputation collapses, they can steal The Matrix's screen!

Li Youhua: "Okay, let's go watch it together when my performance is over! I'm also very curious about Wang Cheng's movies. I don't know if he can make movies. As for his acting skills, I admire them very much. of…"

Jiang Bin: "Okay, let's go and see it together tomorrow night."

 A certain courtyard house.

Shen Shenghui and Qin Mo knocked on the door, then walked in. They saw Xia Xi playing with flowers and plants in the yard. They smiled and nodded, and then looked at Wang Cheng who was sitting under the pavilion reading a book.

 “Wang Cheng!”

Qin Mo said hello and walked over to sit opposite Wang Cheng: "There will be a performance tomorrow, how are you preparing?"

Wang Cheng nodded, said nothing, and said yes, indicating that he was ready.

Shen Shenghui sat next to Qin Mo and said nothing. He was just a follower today.

Qin Mo didn't talk nonsense and said to Wang Cheng: "Our movie will be released tomorrow night."

Wang Cheng still just said yes. It seemed that whether the movie was released or not had nothing to do with him. It seemed that it was not a movie starring or directed by him.

 Qin Mo and Shen Shenghui were both speechless!

 But for Wang Cheng, there is no need to think about the work that has been completed.

Qin Mo: "Wang Cheng, I came to you because I have something to discuss with you. According to the contract you signed, the income and copyright of The Matrix belong to you! On behalf of the company, I want to ask you about the follow-up of this movie. Whether you want to sell the copyright or not, the company can offer a high price! The box office hasn't been released yet, so we can't offer a good price. If the price is low, you will lose money.”

"However, I can promise you on behalf of the company that we will definitely offer the highest price in the industry. Can we sign a pre-emption agreement? If the price is the same, our company has the right of pre-emption. If you are willing to sign this pre-emption agreement, Agreement, we will compensate you ten percent of the purchase price when the time comes.”

"In other words, no matter how much others bid, we will give you a 10% higher price!" This is the plan discussed by Qin Yuhai, Qin Mo, Shen Shenghui and the two producers. The current price must be It's irrational. It's about to be released. How much is appropriate?

If the price is too high, they will lose money; if the price is too low, Wang Cheng will definitely not sell it, and Wang Cheng is not short of money!

 So, I want to sign a preemptive purchase agreement with Wang Cheng...

but.

Wang Cheng glanced at Qin Mo, then put down the book, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said softly: "No selling! I once said that I will not sell any of my works, and the same goes for movies. So, this matter At this point, I don't want you to bother me with this matter in the future.”

Qin Mo and Shen Shenghui were both silent.

 They had anticipated such a result in advance.

 Based on Wang Cheng's previous consistent performance, such a result is highly likely to occur.

 Sure enough, Wang Cheng refused so simply and decisively.

Qin Mo continued: "Wang Cheng, I see you have never thought about continuing to shoot this movie. Such a good movie, you can't bear to see it buried in a warehouse? I can assure you that I will always be the director of this movie." As the producer of the movie, I will be 100% committed to making a sequel to the movie!”

Wang Cheng picked up the book and continued reading, and said calmly: "I don't want to say what I said a second time! If nothing happens, just leave."

Qin Mo was silent and looked at Wang Cheng. At this time, she felt her uncle Qin Yuhai's mood and understood why Qin Yuhai got angry every time.

Facing Wang Cheng like this, she, a loyal fan of Wang Cheng, wanted to get angry at this moment.

　　It's really hard to get enough oil and salt.

Shen Shenghui even controlled his breathing carefully. He didn't speak or make a sound. He left all the power to Qin Mo, and he would have no responsibility at that time.

 At this time, Shen Shenghui had already begun to protect himself wisely regarding Wang Cheng's matter.

 The water here is too deep and he can no longer control it.

 “Okay, then I won't say anything!”

Qin Mo had no choice but to compromise: "Then... do you have any plans to continue filming this movie in the future? I think it's so beautiful that we can already plan a sequel in advance."

The so-called priority agreement was negotiated by Qin Mo on behalf of Qin Yuhai. She didn't care much if the negotiation failed, but she wanted to continue to be the producer of the sequel of this movie. She didn't know how popular the movie would be after it was released tomorrow night. Success, but she knew that if she wanted to leave her name in the film industry, it might depend on this movie.

Wang Cheng shook his head: "I don't know!"

Qin Mo: "What do you mean? If you have it, you have it, if you don't have it, you don't have it. What do you mean you don't know?"

Wang Cheng glanced at Qin Mo: "Do you know what will happen tomorrow?"

Qin Mo was stunned for a moment: "I don't know!"

 Wang Cheng: “So, I don't know either!”

Qin Mo understood immediately and was speechless for a moment, knowing that Wang Cheng was really insecure.

 She rolled her eyes and thought that Wang Cheng would not refuse normal work. Just like this movie shooting, he would do any normal work arranged by the company.

Then, let the company sign another one?

 But, then she thought about it...

 The copyright for the sequel is already in the hands of Wang Cheng.

Without Wang Cheng's approval, we can't continue filming, so how can we sign a film contract?

 At this point, we have reached a dead end.

Qin Mo was a little sulky: "Okay, I'm leaving. Goodbye!"

 After saying that, Qin Mo stood up and left.

Shen Shenghui also hurriedly smiled at Wang Cheng and said, "Wang Cheng, goodbye!"

 After saying that, Shang Shang left immediately after Qin Mo.

Xia Xi glanced at the two of them and ignored them. She continued to trim the potted plant in her hand a few times, then happily brought it to the table in front of Wang Cheng and put it down, hoping that Wang Cheng would appreciate it after seeing it.

 However, Wang Cheng didn't even look at it, he stood up and walked to the study.

Xia Xi was slightly disappointed, but then she put aside her disappointment and continued to prune the potted plants and put them in Wang Cheng's study and bedroom so that Wang Cheng could see them wherever he went.

the next day.

In the morning, Wang Cheng and others rehearsed again and then dispersed, waiting for the performance at seven o'clock in the afternoon.

CCTV has invested almost all its resources in promoting this performance, and there is overwhelming news all over the Internet. This is the most resources CCTV has ever invested in an in-person performance.

  Spring Festival Gala generally has its own super traffic, and every big name who joins the performance has its own popularity. The New Year's Eve is naturally the biggest topic, and CCTV naturally does not need to invest more resources in publicity.

but…

This year, both CCTV and the Spring Festival Gala program team hope to make breakthroughs, so even though Wang Cheng has already occupied the largest traffic and popularity, they still invested the most resources in publicity.

 The entire Internet is filled with news about Wang Cheng's performance, followed by news about Wang Cheng's movie The Matrix.

“Wang Cheng composed several songs specifically for this performance, and each one is a surprise!”

“Wang Cheng is here with a new song, are you ready?”

 “I'm ready, where can I download it?”

 “I'm already sitting in front of the TV waiting, hurry up and perform.”

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Finally, I can see Wang Cheng's music performance, and finally I can hear Wang Cheng's new song. Dad, you can go in peace, I will burn the videotape to you..."

 “It's begun, it's begun!”

“A one-hour advance performance, awesome!”

 Afternoon, six fifty.

Wang Cheng was wearing simple casual clothes and no makeup on his face. He was standing at the entrance of the backstage, preparing to enter.

 The host standing on the stage at this time is Xia Xi, who Qin Shangran specially invited back.

Inviting Xia Xi to host Wang Cheng's special performance was also very thoughtful!

Xia Xi wore a blue cheongsam and stood on the stage like a lotus: "Hello, everyone..."

Wen Yixiao, Han Xiao, Zhu Ziqi, Zhang Hanwen, Du Wei and other newcomers standing next to Wang Cheng who were attending the CCTV Spring Festival Gala for the first time were all a little nervous.

 The other three seniors looked calm and expectant.
