This Star Doesn’t Work Overtime

 A picture of a thousand miles of mountains and rivers once again raised Wang Cheng's popularity to a higher level.

ˆMaking other celebrities and artists helpless.

At this moment, most celebrities and artists are looking forward to Wang Cheng realizing what he said - to retire!

 Especially the celebrity artists from other major entertainment companies, they all feel that they have been suffering for a long time!

They are running variety shows, filming film and television shows, cooperating with media hype, etc. They are working hard in various ways, but it is difficult to steal a little bit of popularity from the name Wang Cheng.

Wang Cheng's name, as well as many things related to Wang Cheng, have always been at the top of the list of popular names. The attention of most people in the country is always attracted by Wang Cheng, and they seem to be uninterested in other people.

Coupled with the rise of a few new super giants such as Wen Yixiao, Zhu Ziqi, An Keru, Han Xiao, and Du Wei, they once again took away most of the remaining popularity.

 It is difficult for other celebrity artists to get a little attention.

Lei Zhenzong was sitting in the office, listening to Yu Jinghong's report, his brows furrowed tightly: "So, now all our businesses have shrunk to a certain extent?"

Yu Jinghong nodded: "Yes! The entire entertainment industry business has shrunk to varying degrees. The advertising fees for our celebrity artists' variety shows have dropped a bit, and the variety shows we produce are broadcast on our own Penguin Video. The sales volume has also dropped a lot. The ratings and box office of several film and television dramas we invested in did not meet expectations."

"The only thing that has grown is the business in the field of pop music. Under the leadership of Wen Yixiao and Du Wei, the income has increased a lot compared to before. However, compared to Rubik's Cube Entertainment, this growth is insignificant. ”

 Lei Zhenzong stood up, with a solemn expression on his face, and asked calmly: "Where are the other entertainment companies?"

Yu Jinghong said seriously: "Except for Rubik's Cube Entertainment, other entertainment companies are having a hard time. Wang Cheng's popularity is too high, beyond our previous imagination and understanding. He attracts a lot of traffic, and every time he appears on the show He took away a large amount of advertising fees, and this super advertising fee will eventually be passed on to other celebrities! The national fashion products he and Hongxing launched together have brought about a new national style wave, which has made other clothing sports Brands have been greatly impacted, which has reduced their advertising investment and endorsement fees."

"The variety shows he appeared on attracted a lot of attention, and he wrote several masterpieces at every turn. This raised the aesthetics and horizons of all viewers a lot, making other traffic variety shows with little content seem very uninteresting. , it is difficult to attract viewers, and the ratings and broadcast volume have dropped a lot."

"There is also The Matrix. This is the only movie in which Wang Cheng participated in the filming and production of the starring role, but it has created the highest box office record in Chinese, and it is very likely to set a world box office record! Now the domestic cumulative box office is heading towards 8 billion , if it is released in a few months, it is 100% likely to exceed 10 billion. Coupled with the large-scale release in Europe and the United States, the cumulative overseas box office has exceeded 200 million US dollars, and it is now ranked third in the global box office list. There is less than 200 million US dollars between us and the first place. Unless it is released worldwide immediately, it is almost inevitable to break the record and reach the top."

 Lei Zhenzong understood Yu Jinghong’s words very clearly.

 A simple summary is that the entire Chinese entertainment industry was suppressed by Wang Cheng alone.

 It can even be said that the global entertainment industry has been suppressed by Wang Cheng.

 If The Matrix tops the box office in global film history, then it makes sense to suppress the world.

 It’s just that the entertainment industry abroad is not as comprehensively suppressed as in China.

actually!

 The entertainment circle is a circle, and both capital and traffic are actually limited.

Resources are limited. If one person suddenly comes out and takes away too many resources, the resources shared by others will definitely become less.

Yu Jinghong smiled bitterly and said: "Now there are rumors in the circle that Wang Cheng will retire soon, and everyone is waiting for him to retire so that he can share the traffic and popularity he left behind!"

Lei Zhenzong squinted his eyes slightly, not too worried about this.

After all, Penguin Entertainment is backed by Penguin Group and has many channels and traffic. It is self-contained. Even if the business declines, it will not be hurt. Just because Wang Cheng is too strong, Penguin Entertainment's own level is still rising. , after all, the newly signed Wen Yixiao and Du Wei are two new super giants, and they will make Penguin Entertainment’s business worry-free for a long time to come.

only!

Lei Zhenzong was looking at Wang Cheng himself and asked softly: "How long is the contract between Wang Cheng and Rubik's Cube Entertainment left?"

Yu Jinghong: "It's been less than a year, to be precise, it's a little more than eleven months! Many people in the industry are watching the time, waiting for Wang Cheng's contract to expire, and then they will all rush to grab Wang Cheng." . Whoever signs Wang Cheng will become the overlord of the entertainment industry in a short period of time, just like Rubik's Cube Entertainment now, with both fame and fortune."

Lei Zhenzong: "Wen Yixiao also took a rest, and he and Wang Cheng are neighbors. When I saw Wang Cheng painting the Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains, Wen Yixiao was at the scene. Did you hint to Wen Yixiao to ask Wang Cheng? Intention to sign?"

Yu Jinghong shook her head: "Wen Yixiao is also in trouble now. She said she will not affect Wang Cheng's decision. And, to be honest, she can't affect Wang Cheng's decision. In the whole world, perhaps only Wang Cheng's parents can No one else can influence Wang Cheng's decision at all. Even Han Xiao and Zhang Hanwen, the only two friends, are no exception."

Lei Zhenzong: "Then do you think his retirement is a joke, or is he sincere?"

Yu Jinghong recalled several contacts and conversations with Wang Cheng and said softly: "He never jokes."

Lei Zhenzong was silent for a few seconds, and then said: "If he really retires by then, what changes will happen to the domestic entertainment industry?"

Yu Jinghong: "The change is that the era of traffic based on appearance has completely passed. Most viewers have become more sophisticated. If they want to become popular in the future, they must at least have real skills. The pop music market has been completely activated, and domestically produced Science fiction movies have been proven, and now a lot of capital is investing in domestic science fiction movies, and a large number of domestic science fiction movies may be released at the end of the year and next year.”

“It is difficult for ordinary people to compete for the traffic and popularity after Wang Cheng left. However, we have two trump cards, Wen Yixiao and Du Wei, and we are firmly in an invincible position.”

"The development of Rubik's Cube Entertainment will definitely regress, but it will definitely be much better than before we bought Wang Cheng. It should be able to compete with us in a short time!"

“As for the rest, we will have to look at the specific situation at that time.”

Lei Zhenzong took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice: "Then is it possible for us to sign Wang Cheng? A few days ago, the group headquarters agreed to improve the conditions to sign Wang Cheng! If necessary, the shares in the group channel can be transferred Also give it to Wang Cheng, but it will take longer to sign!"

Channel?

Yu Jing’s red eyes flashed with shock.

The group’s platform channels are Penguin Music and Penguin Video. These two channels for monetizing traffic are both unicorn-level in their respective fields. Penguin Music is the largest music platform in China, and Penguin Video is the largest online video platform. This is also the reason why Penguin The foundation for entertainment groups to remain invincible.

 Because, Penguin Entertainment can produce its own programs and broadcast them online without relying on other platforms. Its own singers record songs and release them on its own group’s platforms. It is the only self-sufficient entertainment giant in the entire Chinese entertainment industry!

but…

 These two platforms do not belong to Penguin Entertainment, but are operated by separate companies. They are both affiliated with Penguin Group and are on an equal footing with Penguin Entertainment!

Penguin Group can sell shares of Penguin Entertainment, but it is very tight on the shares of the two largest platforms.

Because, as long as the platform and traffic are captured, even if the controlling stake of Penguin Entertainment is given away, Penguin Group’s influence on the entertainment industry will not be reduced at all. Many entertainment group giants still have to look at Penguin Group’s face. But now, the president of Penguin Group had a personal chat with Lei Zhenzong and promised personally that if he could sign Wang Cheng, he would give Wang Cheng a share of the two major platforms, Penguin Video and Penguin Music.

Lei Zhenzong himself is also hard to believe, let alone Yu Jinghong.

Yu Jinghong's voice was a little excited: "What is the latest condition given to Wang Cheng by the group headquarters?"

Lei Zhenzong knocked on the table and said seriously: "Twenty percent of the shares of Penguin Entertainment Group, 10% of Penguin Video, and 10% of Penguin Music! Plus a one billion signing fee, and one billion per year. A salary of 100 million, with a salary increase of 10% every year! The share is 91%, one for us, and 90% for Wang Cheng. The copyright of his own works also belongs to him."

“The conditions can be said to be very loose! However, the contract period is twenty years!”

Lei Zhenzong said, taking out a contract from the drawer and handing it to Yu Jinghong: "This is the latest drafted contract. Next time you go to see Wang Cheng, give it to him directly. This is our last and greatest sincerity. . In the entire entertainment industry, there will be no one else with better conditions than us!"

"In fact, all the shareholders and senior management of the entire group headquarters are loyal fans of Wang Cheng, including me. They all want to sign Wang Cheng to our own company, and then become a partner with Wang Cheng, completely binding him to us. . Even if you don’t make money, or even lose money, it will prevent others from signing Wang Cheng and becoming bigger.”

"and…"

Lei Zhenzong said emphatically: "Moreover, the company's senior executives want to visit Wang Cheng often, meet Wang Cheng, and have a chat!"

Yu Jinghong was a little confused after hearing what Lei Zhenzong said.

 20% stake in Penguin Entertainment, 10% stake in Penguin Video, and 10% stake in Penguin Music. The value of these three major companies is not low. Penguin Entertainment is an entertainment giant with a market value of 100 billion, and Penguin Video is also an online video giant with a market value of 100 billion. Penguin Music used to have a lower market value, worth tens of billions, but recently with the With the explosion of the pop music market, the market value of Penguin Music has also skyrocketed, and it is also worth hundreds of billions.

Just the shares donated to Wang Cheng by these three major companies are worth at least 40 billion, not counting the future appreciation space.

Backed by Penguin Group, if Wang Cheng is recruited to join, the market value of these three major companies will inevitably skyrocket in the future. Just like the current Rubik's Cube Entertainment, it is normal for the market value to double.

From then on, relying on the shares of these three major companies, Wang Chengguang's net worth may exceed 100 billion and become a 100 billionaire. If the dividends from Hongxing are also included, his net worth may become the top ten richest people in China. One of the people!

this…

Yu Jinghong did the math in her mind. She really didn't know what to say. She could only admire the courage of the group's senior management, and at the same time admire Wang Cheng's own attractiveness. The behavior of the group's senior management could be said to be the behavior of a fan, and it was not a stand-up move at all. To think about the problem from the perspective of objective interests is to stand from the perspective of fans, to do something for their idols, and to pay a huge price to get closer to them.

But thinking about what Wang Cheng has done and his works, Yu Jinghong must also admit that she herself is Wang Cheng's brain remnant.

If she had nothing to offer, she would be willing to give everything she had to sign Wang Cheng, but Wang Cheng would not be attracted to her even if she gave everything.

As for the subsequent signing bonus of 1 billion, and the salary of 100 million per year, which will increase by 10% every year, they are nothing compared to the shares.

However, the 91% share and the copyright belonging to Wang Cheng personally are absolutely kind conditions.

If Wang Cheng can maintain the rate of making money at Rubik's Cube Entertainment, Wang Cheng's annual net income in the entertainment industry will easily exceed 10 billion.

This is really a super money printing machine...

If Wang Cheng really signs this contract by then, he may become the fastest-growing super-rich man in the world.

Many other top tycoons at home and abroad have accumulated a net worth of hundreds of billions and become the world's top tycoons after a long period of accumulation, ranging from ten to eight years to decades of development and accumulation.

But if Wang Cheng signs the contract, it will only take less than two years since his debut to become the world's top richest man with a net worth of 100 billion.

 It can be said to be as fast as a rocket!

Of course, we don’t know yet whether Wang Cheng will sign the contract.

Although, Yu Jinghong thought from her own perspective and really couldn't find any reason to refuse.

But…

Wang Cheng’s brain circuit is different, and he is also very indifferent to monetary interests, so it is not surprising that he refused.

Yu Jinghong didn't know what to say for a moment. She just took the contract handed over by Lei Zhenzong. She felt it was so important that she had the entire Penguin Entertainment Group in her hands. She said softly: "I will go to the Magic City in the afternoon. Find a way to meet Wang Cheng. As for whether it will work or not, I really can’t say, Wang Cheng’s ideas are different from those of us normal people."

 Lei Zhenzong nodded: "Try your best!"

Lei Zhenzong's tone was a little calm, and he didn't have much expectation or desire for this.

 Because, in his heart, he was somewhat resistant to this contract. This was tantamount to inviting an emperor back to the company, who had higher status and power than him.

Of course, Lei Zhenzong also knew very well that even if Wang Cheng did not have any shares to join the company, he would have nothing to do with Wang Cheng and would still act based on Wang Cheng's face.

It's just that he has paid a lot for Penguin Entertainment. It can be said that he has almost single-handedly developed the company from a start-up to a giant. He has deep feelings. Seeing that Wang Cheng suddenly joined and gained far more than him, he felt a little uncomfortable.

Yu Jinghong turned around and left the company, and directly asked her assistant to book a ticket to Shanghai.

And Lei Zhenzong opened the computer screen, clicked on the Weibo page, found Zheng Wenzhong's Weibo, and then directly clicked on the pictures and videos of the Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains posted on it, his eyes full of appreciation and longing, and whispered : "This painting is the pinnacle of true Chinese painting art! It's a pity that it is painted on the wall and cannot be taken off, alas!"

Lei Zhenzong sighed. He also wanted to buy this work very much, but he also knew that even if it was not painted on the wall, it would be almost impossible to buy something from Wang Cheng!

Yu Jinghong, on the other hand, rushed directly to the airport, flew to Shanghai, went to see Wen Yixiao for lunch, chatted with Wen Yixiao for a few words, and then watched Wen Yixiao go to take a nap, a little speechless. His living habits are almost exactly the same as Wang Cheng's.

When Wen Yixiao got up from her nap, Yu Jinghong and Wen Yixiao went out together to Wang Cheng's house and pressed the doorbell.

Hold the contract in her hand, Yu Jinghong was unusually nervous.
