This Star Doesn’t Work Overtime - #502 - Chapter 499: 497 indifference versus arrogance, the sensation of CCTV’s new program.

After hearing what foreigner John said, Shen Shenghui smiled and said, “Wang Cheng’s condition is a share of the box office. If you can’t meet it, I don’t think you need to see Wang Cheng!”

Shen Shenghui knew that it would be absolutely impossible to bring the two of them to see Wang Cheng.

Because foreigners are still arrogant in their bones and cannot give a share of the box office. They feel that giving Chinese-language films a chance to be released overseas is a gift. With just a little money, you can buy the overseas copyrights of Chinese-language films!

 After all, he represents Hollywood giant Snow Mountain Pictures, one of the largest film companies in the world.

There are very few Chinese-language films that allow Hollywood giants to directly purchase the copyrights, and in decades they have never been more than one.

Middle-aged Chinese Zhang Xuezhong also said: “Mr. John, Wang Cheng is notoriously difficult to get along with in our domestic entertainment industry!”

John waved his hand: “I believe he will give me and Xueshan Film and Television a face. Director Shen, Manager Zhang, let’s go!”

 John walked in confidently.

Shen Shenghui was helpless and could not refuse the Hollywood giant directly, so he could only bring two people over to see Wang Cheng, leading the way, and told John and Zhang Xuezhong: “You two, you can’t argue with Wang Cheng, do you understand? “

 John: “I know, I’m not here to argue.”

Zhang Xuezhong is the general manager of Snow Mountain Film and Television in China, so he is based in China. He knows how popular Wang Cheng is in China at this time. He also likes every work of Wang Cheng very much. He knows Wang Cheng very well and nods. clear.

 The three of them walked into the elevator and arrived at Wang Cheng’s door.

Shen Shenghui knocked on the door gently, and then Xia Xi opened the door and let the three people in.

Wang Cheng was sitting on a chair in the living room and reading a book, with a cup of tea in front of him. He glanced at the three of them and said nothing.

Shen Shenghui stepped forward and introduced the two of them: “Wang Cheng, this is Mr. John from the copyright department of Snow Mountain Film and Television in Hollywood, and this is Mr. Zhang Xuezhong, the general manager of Snow Mountain Film and Television’s domestic branch. You two are here to talk to you in person. Let’s talk about the Matrix copyright issue!”

Wang Cheng looked at the book and said calmly: “There is nothing to talk about. I have already stated my conditions. If you agree, we will cooperate. If you disagree, forget it. There is no need to waste time.”

Zhang Xuezhong was slightly stunned. Although he had heard many legends about Wang Cheng and knew that Wang Cheng was very difficult to get along with, after seeing and experiencing it in person, he still felt a little unacceptable.

John was even more stunned. It was the first time he saw people from the Chinese entertainment industry treating him with such an attitude.

He represents Xueshan Film and Television, one of the giants in Hollywood. Not to mention major companies and celebrities in the domestic entertainment industry, even people from radio and television and other related departments greeted him with smiles. Other entertainment companies and celebrities The artists are extremely enthusiastic, and they all really want to go to Snow Mountain Film and Television and get the opportunity to enter Hollywood.

But Wang Cheng just glanced at him and didn’t want to talk to him.

John looked slightly ugly and stepped forward and said: “Mr. Wang Cheng, you are very young. You can be said to be a genius for making a movie like The Matrix. However, you have not been out of China and don’t know how big the world is. A movie “Success in China does not mean anything. Success in Europe, America and the world is the real success!”

“We at Xueshan Film and Television are one of the best film production and distribution companies in Hollywood. Our distribution channels are in every country in the world. We can send your movies to theaters in every country, so that people in every country can enjoy them. to be able to see this movie.”

 “If you reject us, you reject the opportunity to enter the world!”

John said with a hint of arrogance and pride.

  The Chinese film market is gradually maturing. Although it is already one of the most important movie theaters in Hollywood, Hollywood still does not pay attention to the Chinese film and television industry.

Wang Cheng didn’t even look at John, and still said calmly: “I’m not interested in your nonsense. I said, my conditions are just like that. If you agree, sign the contract. If you don’t agree, then leave! Xia Xi, see you off. !”

 After saying that, Wang Cheng stood up and walked directly to the study, ignoring Shen Shenghui and John.

Xia Xi stepped forward and whispered to John: “Mr. John, please!”

John’s face was ashen and he said in a deep voice: “Mr. Wang, if you reject our Xueshan Film and Television, I can guarantee that no other company will come to talk to you again.”

 Shen Shenghui and Zhang Xuezhong’s expressions changed slightly when they heard that John had begun to threaten Wang Cheng.

 Zhang Xuezhong said hurriedly: “Mr. John, let’s go!”

Shen Shenghui also said: “Mr. John, Wang Cheng is tired and needs a rest. Let’s go first. I’ll treat you to dinner.”

Wang Cheng ignored them and walked directly into the study.

John’s breath quickened, then he stopped talking, turned around and left.

 It comes in a hurry and goes away even more hastily.

I just walked in and said a few words, then left without even sitting down.

 As soon as you go out!

John whispered “Thank you”, then walked into the elevator with a dark face and said to Shen Shenghui: “Director Shen, what I just said was not a joke. If you reject our Xueshan Film and Television, I can guarantee that any other Corporate Hollywood distribution companies won’t come to see you.”

Shen Shenghui: “Mr. John, I can’t help with this! Wang Cheng’s attitude is like this. Moreover, Mr. John, I think Xueshan Film and Television may not have such power to make the whole of Hollywood afraid. At present, we want to buy There are no less than ten overseas companies that own the copyright to The Matrix, including five or six in Hollywood!”

“I believe you have also watched this movie in the cinema, right?”

John nodded and said that he had indeed seen it in the cinema, so he decided to discuss the copyright of the film in person.

 He ​​had a hunch that this movie might be a hit in Hollywood. If it could be adapted and cast by a big Hollywood star, it might be a hit.

 Because the creativity and plot of this movie surprised him, a Hollywood executive who has been in Hollywood for decades and has seen various blockbusters.

 Furthermore, the film’s shooting rhythm and techniques are also at the top level in Hollywood.

He found it incredible that such a film appeared in the Chinese film and television industry.

This is obviously a work that can only be produced by a team of top Hollywood directors…

The people stopped talking, walked out of the gate of the community in silence, and each got into their own cars.

Shen Shenghui shook his head and sighed and got into the car. Then he received a message from Xia Xi. Seeing that Wang Cheng chose CCTV for cooperation, a smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

 This is definitely good news for him and Rubik’s Cube Entertainment.

Who doesn’t want to have a good relationship with CCTV?

Shen Shenghui immediately picked up the phone and called Qin Shangran. The call was connected within a second. Apparently Qin Shangran was also waiting for a call from Rubik’s Cube Entertainment.

“Director Shen, is there any good news?”

“Of course, Director Qin, Wang Cheng has chosen to cooperate with CCTV. We can talk about the specific details of cooperation.”

“This is indeed good news. I will come to the Magic City right away to discuss the details of the contract with you.”

 “Okay, I’m waiting for Master Qin to fight!”

“Goodbye, see you in the evening, and make an appointment with Mr. Qin to have a meal together.”

“goodbye!”

Shen Shenghui breathed a sigh of relief after putting down the phone.

CCTV’s asking price for a single issue is as high as 3 billion, which is a step higher than before the Spring Festival. Because, during the Spring Festival, several of Wang Cheng’s songs and the movie The Matrix dominated the entire Spring Festival. The highest sales of several songs have exceeded 400 million. The box office of The Matrix exceeded 4 billion, setting a box office record for Chinese movies. Wang Cheng’s popularity and status have once again been pushed up a step, reaching an even more unparalleled level.

Now the entire entertainment industry is overshadowed by the light of Wang Cheng alone.

In the eyes of many passers-by, there are only two people in the Chinese entertainment industry, and that is Wang Cheng and others!

　　Previously, Wen Yixiao, Zhu Ziqi, Han Xiao, An Keru and others were able to show their faces in Wang Cheng’s light, but now even they can’t appear in Wang Cheng’s light.

Of course, Wen Yixiao is relatively popular because she sang a duet with Wang Cheng, “Because of Love,” and can be occasionally mentioned by everyone. Although other people also sang a song with Wang Cheng, “Tomorrow Will Be Better,” the probability of it appearing is also extremely high. Low.

  Shen Shenghui received a new round of announcements to invite bids, and the bids were all above 2.5 billion.

Among them, CCTV, Dragon TV, Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV, Xiangnan TV, and Penguin Entertainment all offered a price of 3 billion!

CCTV’s asking price is certainly not the highest. Penguin Entertainment is still the most arrogant, offering a sky-high price of 3.5 billion!

 However, Wang Cheng chose CCTV.

 Shen Shenghui and Qin Yuhai both hope to deepen their cooperation with CCTV, which will give Rubik’s Cube Entertainment a deeper influence in the Beijing circle and have huge benefits for the long-term development of Rubik’s Cube Entertainment.

the next day!

CCTV announced the news of cooperating with Wang Cheng on a variety show again.

 In an instant, it caused huge shocks inside and outside the entire circle.

 Insiders are frantically inquiring about the details of the cooperation between Wang Cheng and CCTV, and are seeking to see if they can gain popularity and appear on programs together.

“Wang Cheng is on CCTV again? Is it the same program as last time? Can you ask if there is still a spot? I’ll give it to you for free!”

“I heard that Wang Cheng went to CCTV to announce that the single-issue announcement fee is as high as 3 billion, and there are other conditions for Rubik’s Cube Entertainment, which is terrible.”

“The single-issue announcement fee is 3 billion, the box office for the Spring Festival period is 4.5 billion in seven days, and the sales of several songs in seven days exceed 2.5 billion! Is this the ability to attract money? Is it human? It’s terrible!”

 “The number one person in the entertainment industry, well deserved.”

“I heard that Wang Cheng was on the same program as last time, a cultural one!”

“Culture-related? Will those famous schools join in?”

“Will Wang Cheng write a few masterpieces again? I feel that such a famous scene cannot be missed. If anyone has the connections, I am willing to pay more to participate in this program!”

 …

Almost everyone in the industry is thinking of ways to appear on the show with Wang Cheng.

When the audience outside the circle heard that Wang Cheng was finally going to appear on the screen again, they were all excited and overjoyed, and the excitement exploded instantly.

“Woohoo, finally I can see Wang Cheng again. I watched The Matrix three times, and I enjoyed it every time. I say it is the best domestic movie, no one objects, right?”

“Will CCTV’s program be the same cultural heritage program as last time? Will there be live writing of ancient poems? I’m really looking forward to it.”

“Speaking of which, when will Wang Cheng send another authentic work? The last painting of Maple Bridge at Night was scarier than the two-color ball. I heard it was sold for over a billion!”

“One billion was the price at that time. If we sell it now, it would be impossible without two billion.”

“Speaking of which, how much can the authentic preface to Prince Teng’s Pavilion be sold for?”

“Don’t think about it. The Preface to Prince Teng’s Pavilion will definitely become a national treasure from now on. It has a price but no market. Even if you pay 10 billion, Wang Cheng won’t sell it.”

“I traveled to Tengwang Pavilion during the Spring Festival. It was so crowded. I waited in line for more than half an hour to take a photo in front of the stone tablet in front of Tengwang Pavilion. The local government engraved the original text of Wang Cheng’s Tengwang Pavilion preface on the stone tablet. The entire attraction suddenly became It’s on a high level, the ticket price has been increased several times, and there are still many people going to see it every day.”

“The poem “Looking at the Lushan Waterfall” also brought many tourists to the Lushan Waterfall! One thing to note is that my home is near Mount Lushan. There have been a lot more tourists recently, and business has become easier. I am very grateful to Wang Cheng.”

“I still want to watch Wang Cheng on a music show. I think I can watch him and Wen Yixiao perform live because of love. I loved it so much that I even cried several times.”

“I also want to see Wang Cheng perform Nunchuk and Shameless live. That is Wang Cheng’s peak.”

“Similarly loves nunchucks and shamelessness, Wang Cheng’s peak is also an insurmountable mountain for domestic live performances. It’s so classic.”

“Stop talking, when will the CCTV program be broadcast? Is it still live at 5 p.m.?”

“Look at the time announced on the CCTV official website, it’s five o’clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow!”

“Then I’ll cancel my 5pm class the day after tomorrow and sit in the dormitory watching Wang Cheng’s live show…”

 …

At this moment, the entire Internet is discussing Wang Cheng’s new show, discussing the ancient poems written by Wang Cheng that are worthy of eternal masterpieces, and recalling Wang Cheng’s live performance on the variety show stage when he first debuted last year.

This is also the reason why the online viewing volume of several variety shows that Wang Cheng has appeared on has remained high.

because…

Too many people have watched it over and over again!

 The more I watch Wang Cheng’s previous stage performances, the more I fall in love with them.

 In this era, it is really unparalleled.

Qin Shangran, who is always paying attention to public opinion, is a little helpless. He also wants Wang Cheng to appear in music variety shows.

However, Wang Cheng didn’t seem to want to join. Not only did he reject the music variety shows from Xiangnan TV and Dragon TV, but he also rejected the invitation from Penguin Entertainment to be a variety show instructor!

After signing the contract, Qin Shangran did not go to see Wang Cheng. He knew that it would be of no use whether he saw Wang Cheng or not, so he returned to the capital early to start preparing for the show.

 After all, the program time has been announced, it will be broadcast live at 5 pm the day after tomorrow!

 However, he has not yet completed the specific preparations for the show.

However, as soon as he returned to the capital, his phone kept ringing.

 He hasn’t contacted me yet.

King University, Shuimu, Renmin University and other prestigious universities in Beijing, as well as top universities in other places, all called me one after another.

 Obviously.

 They don’t want to miss the opportunity to appear in a cultural variety show with Wang Cheng.

The previous CCTV and Ganxi Satellite TV’s two cultural variety shows have brought huge benefits to every school, teacher and student who appeared on the show, and even received support and support from above to reward them for their work in the field of traditional culture promotion. Made a relatively large contribution.

 So, it’s a new year.

CCTV once again invited Wang Cheng to produce a cultural inheritance program. Every university in China that could name it did not want to miss the opportunity to join.

Even if they can’t leave the country or show their faces, they still want to participate. What if luck comes and the fire comes?

 However, Qin Shangran would not refuse anyone who came. He had already had a plan in his mind and was preparing it in an orderly manner…

 The next day, Wang Cheng got on the plane and headed to the capital.
