This Star Doesn’t Work Overtime

Wang Cheng had indeed just gotten up from his nap and was sitting in the study, writing something in a blank notebook with a pen.

Xia Xi is sitting outside the door and can see Wang Cheng at any time. If Wang Cheng needs help, she can go in and help at any time. At the same time, she can try not to disturb Wang Cheng outside.

After getting up and pouring a cup of tea for Wang Cheng, Xia Xi curiously looked at the pen calligraphy written by Wang Cheng. It was also master-level running script pen calligraphy. It looked extremely pleasing to the eye. However, Wang Cheng did not deliberately practice hard-pen calligraphy. He writes things quickly, and each stroke appears extremely smooth.

Xia Xi put down her tea cup and took a quick look, not daring to look carefully. She only saw some guzheng plan, so she hurriedly turned and left. She didn't dare to stay longer for fear of making Wang Cheng unhappy, but she was curious in her heart - it seemed that Wang Cheng Cheng is writing a novel?

Ancient poetry has reached the unprecedented status of being the greatest literary giant in history, suppressing the contemporary literary world; pop music has also stood at the top, suppressing all singers; a movie The Matrix is ​​heading towards the top box office position in the world's film history; just now The painting A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains created can be regarded as the pinnacle of traditional Chinese painting.

However, Xia Xi felt that Wang Cheng might not be satisfied yet. Now he wanted to write a novel to prove his strength in the field of novels?

Xia Xi admired Wang Cheng very much. She sat at the door and stared at Wang Cheng with eyes full of admiration and tenderness like water.

Ding…

 The doorbell rang softly.

Xia Xi quickly looked away, turned around and came to the door, and saw Wen Yixiao and Yu Jinghong standing outside through the peephole.

If Wang Cheng is sitting in the living room drinking tea and reading a book, or looking at the scenery, she will ask Wang Cheng. If Wang Cheng does not object, she will open the door to welcome the visitor.

However, she just saw that Wang Cheng seemed to be writing a novel seriously, so she didn't want to disturb Wang Cheng. She immediately picked up the phone at the door and whispered to the outside: "Wang Cheng is writing, please come back at dinner time!"

 After saying that, Xia Xi put down the phone, then returned to his original position and sat down to continue admiring Wang Cheng who was writing seriously.

 Yu Jinghong and Wen Yixiao, who were at the door, were both helpless.

With their status, who do you want to see but not see?

However, at this time, I wanted to see Wang Cheng and give him great wealth, but I was turned away...

 The most important thing is that the two of them are not angry or disgusted by this.

 Because, in their hearts, Wang Cheng is like this.

With Wang Cheng’s current status and achievements, he is qualified to refuse anyone’s request for advice.

Wen Yixiao nodded to Maoyan, and then turned around and returned to his home with Yu Jinghong.

As soon as he got home, Wen Yixiao said softly: "Wang Cheng didn't like to see other people after he finished painting the Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains."

Wen Yixiao felt a little uncomfortable and disappointed. She took a special three-month vacation and wanted to synchronize it with Wang Cheng's vacation, so that she could see Wang Cheng more often, and maybe develop a relationship.

 However, it is difficult to see Wang Cheng now.

Of course, the only thing that gave her some comfort was that Wang Cheng was not targeting her, but that no one could see Wang Cheng, including Wang Cheng's only two friends, Han Xiao and Zhang Hanwen.

Wang Cheng has not gone out from home for the past two days, and has not even gone downstairs for a walk after dinner.

Yesterday, Wen Yixiao waited for Wang Cheng downstairs for a whole day, but did not even wait until Wang Cheng came downstairs for a walk.

Yu Jinghong patted Wen Yixiao's shoulder. She didn't know how to comfort her, because Wen Yixiao chose this path herself. She had tried to persuade her from the beginning, but now she couldn't persuade her anymore, and she actually didn't want to persuade her at all. .

 Because, who can see a person like Wang Cheng and not be tempted?

If she were more than ten years younger, she would rush towards Wang Cheng like a moth to a flame without caring about any results or reputation.

But now, she can only suppress this feeling in her heart and dare not express it at all.

"Then let's go over dinner time, just in time to have a meal. I have been thinking about Wang Cheng's cooking skills for a long time. The food he cooks is really a work of art, delicious and beautiful, with all the color, aroma and flavor. The more Only after eating in high-end restaurants did I understand that Wang Cheng's cooking skills are also extremely terrible, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is at the pinnacle of his cooking skills."

Yu Jinghong comforted Wen Yixiao.

Wen Yixiao also laughed when she thought of going to see Wang Cheng at dinner time so that they could have dinner together: "That's because he can do the absolute best in everything he does, the best one!"

Although these words seemed a bit like the mindless praise of an idol by an idiot fan, Yu Jinghong thought about it objectively, but she couldn't find any point to refute it.

 Because, Wang Cheng is really the best at everything he does.

 Even many people who want to play Wang Cheng can't find any rhythm, which can be seen.

However, Yu Jinghong knew that the contract she held in her hand was enough to prove that Wang Cheng’s top brother might be in the Penguin Group!

time flies.

Yu Jinghong and Wen Yixiao were chatting. Dinner time soon came. The two of them went to Wang Cheng's house on time and rang the doorbell again.

Xia Xi was in the kitchen bringing out the dishes cooked by Wang Cheng, and then said to Wang Cheng: "Wen Yixiao and Yu Jinghong, Mr. Yu, are here. They came once in the afternoon, when you were writing, and I asked them to come back in the evening. "

Wang Cheng nodded: "Well, let them come in, and I'll cook two more dishes!"

Xia Xi breathed a sigh of relief, worried that if Wang Cheng didn't want to see her, she would break her promise.

 Fortunately, Wang Cheng let them in.

Xia Xi opened the door: "Here you go, come in and sit down, it's time to eat."

Wen Yixiao and Yu Jinghong both brought gifts. Wen Yixiao brought a bottle of collector's edition Maotai, and Yu Jinghong brought a bottle of red wine. The two of them agreed to bring a bottle of wine. It happened to be after dinner, okay Have a proper drink.

but!

Wang Cheng saw the two bottles of wine and said casually: "I don't drink."

The two of them were helpless and had no choice but to hand over the wine to Xia Xi. They also wanted to have a drink with Wang Cheng. Maybe after drinking, Wang Cheng would be different and talk easier. It seemed that there was no chance now.

 The food was served quickly.

 Four dishes, one soup, and one bowl of rice per person.

Wang Cheng ate his meal quietly without speaking.

Yu Jinghong said softly: "Wang Cheng, congratulations, The Matrix has been released overseas. The box office has broken the Chinese box office record, and the overseas box office has exceeded 200 million US dollars. The total overseas box office is expected to exceed 300 million US dollars! It is the highest-grossing movie outside Hollywood. Together with the domestic box office, the total box office of The Matrix has a chance to rank first in the box office list of world film history, making us Chinese filmmakers famous overseas!"

“Recently, many domestic films have benefited from the dividends you brought. They were spotted by overseas distribution companies who came to dig for gold, and they got a windfall.”

Wang Cheng raised his eyebrows after hearing this, but said nothing.

He has watched a few of the most popular Hollywood movies in recent years and knows that the development of movies in this world is relatively average. The special effects have improved very quickly, but the plots of the movies are actually very simple, and there are no movie universe series that he has seen in his previous life. If there are three or four, it would be a very long movie series.

Moreover, Hollywood has not introduced many cultural characteristics of the Chinese film and television industry, such as martial arts and so on!

 Hence, the fast-paced and cool movie "The Matrix" that combines many factors has the possibility of becoming a hit.   And the current box office figures also confirm his expectations.

Yu Jinghong's eyes flashed, and she saw the change in Wang Cheng's eyebrows, and asked again: "Wang Cheng, do you have any plans for the sequel to The Matrix? Many viewers are asking about it and are looking forward to it. If the sequel can maintain the standard, The box office will definitely be a hit!”

Wen Yixiao and Xia Xi both looked at Wang Cheng curiously. They actually wanted to see Wang Cheng shoot the sequel to The Matrix, and they also wanted to join in, like An Keru.

only!

Wang Cheng quietly finished the last few bites of his meal, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and then said softly: "There are no plans for a sequel at the moment. I just want to take a good rest."

 Yu Jinghong nodded: "Well, if necessary, we at Penguin Entertainment can provide you with the greatest support at any time."

Wang Cheng didn't say anything. He just stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the dim coastline outside.

Yu Jinghong also finished her meal quickly, then picked up the document bag she brought, came to Wang Cheng, took out the document, handed it to Wang Cheng with both hands, and said softly: "I came to you this time because of something. I want to discuss something important with you. You have less than a year left in your contract with Rubik's Cube Entertainment. You are about to turn twenty. We, Penguin Entertainment, sincerely want to become a strategic partner with you. .”

"And it's a long-term one! This contract was not drawn up by Penguin Entertainment, but by the Penguin Group behind us. The group's senior management also really wants to become friends who grow up with you. This sincerity will definitely be given to you. surprise."

 The contract given by Penguin Group?

Wen Yixiao and Xia Xi, who were eating behind them, looked at each other in surprise.

Even Wen Yixiao has never heard Yu Jinghong say it.

It is naturally impossible for Xia Xi to know.

 Both of them listened with their ears pricked up.

Wang Cheng still didn't speak. He just took the contract and flipped through it casually. He quickly captured the key information in it. When he saw those numbers, he stopped turning the pages.

Yu Jinghong saw Wang Cheng's actions and said seriously: "If you sign this contract by then, you will have the opportunity to become one of the richest people in the country! Of course, I know you don't care about wealth. Making money is the most important thing to you. For easy things, the dividends Hongxing will give you every year will be at least tens of billions."

"However, Hongxing's dividends are only for you. When you pass away in the future, this dividend contract cannot be inherited. What we give you are shares, and the current value is more than 40 billion shares. If you join, The value of these shares can easily double, and you can pass on this wealth from generation to generation.”

“Coupled with the money you earn from Hongxing, you may become the richest person in China within ten years!”

"Moreover, we have no restrictions on you in this contract. Even if you come to our company, rest every day, and do nothing, we will still perform the contract as usual, and we will give you the same money every year, and we will never interfere with you. work and life.”

to be honest…

 This kind of behavior of throwing money.

 The calm mentality of Wang Cheng and his two generations was also a little uneasy at this time.

because…

 This contract from Penguin Group gives too much.

Although Wen Yixiao and Xia Xi behind them didn't hear the details of the contract, they heard Yu Jinghong's mention of shares worth 40 billion, and they stopped eating, a little shocked by Penguin Group's super generosity.

 Such an investment of money is really beyond their imagination.

Even if Wang Cheng agrees to sign the contract, it will be almost impossible for Penguin Group to make so much money back from Wang Cheng.

Because, they knew with their toes that Wang Cheng's contract share must be at the 91 level. If Penguin Group wants to earn tens of billions with a 10% share, then the total revenue must reach hundreds of billions. It is truly a fantasy.

so!

Penguin Group is spending money like this simply because it wants to sign Wang Cheng, and it does nothing else. It is a bit of a brainless behavior like a brainless fan.

 The two of them knew that what Yu Jinghong said was absolutely very possible.

If Wang Cheng signs this contract, he will immediately get shares worth more than 40 billion. After Wang Cheng joins, the market value will skyrocket, and the 40 billion shares will at least double. Wang Cheng's net worth will be close to 100 billion just from the shares. , plus the copyright income from many other works, etc., it is easy to have a net worth of over 100 billion, and he is definitely a super rich man in China.

 In the future, Wang Cheng can still receive tens of billions of dividends from Hongxing every year. With the cash in his hands, he has a very good chance of becoming the richest man in the country with a little investment and operation...

If Wang Cheng is really successful, he will be the only super rich man who comes from an ordinary family and made his own fortune from scratch.

but…

Wang Cheng acted extremely calmly and handed it back to Yu Jinghong without even looking at the details carefully.

Although he was very excited for a time, as Yu Jinghong said, after signing this contract, he really won’t have to worry about it for generations to come!

but…

 This is not his goal.

His only goal in this life is to live a long life and die without any illness.

 He is still reluctant to accept such a contract that easily brings constraints.

 Although, the gift is really much.

 However, he also believed that he could earn more on his own if he wanted to.

After all, his vision in his two lifetimes is better than that of ordinary people. In addition, he has a large amount of cash flow in his hands. He can get tens of billions of dividends from Hongxing every year. If he invests it, his future net worth will be very scary. , which can also enable future generations to have food and clothing without worries for generations to come.

so!

 After thinking about it for a while, I strengthened my belief again.

Wang Cheng is not very interested in this contract.

Yu Jinghong took the contract with her arms trembling slightly, and then asked expectantly: "Wang Cheng, what do you think? Do you need to think about it carefully? If you have other requirements, you can also put them forward, and I will go back and talk to the senior management. Let’s discuss it carefully. We are definitely very sincere!”

Wang Cheng looked at the darkening sea in the distance and said softly: "No, I'm not interested in this contract."

 In an instant!

Yu Jinghong, Wen Yixiao, and Xia Xi were all silent.

 Send tens of billions to your hands, and wealth worth hundreds of billions a year later, without any price, just don’t want it if you say you don’t want it.

 They didn’t know what to say.
