MTL - This Star Doesn’t Work Overtime-Chapter 145 143. Ratings can still increase! 6 Billion Buying King
Chapter 145 143. The ratings can still increase! Six billion to buy Wang Cheng alone? (seeking subscription)
Don't wait for the other party to speak!
Guo Shouxin hurriedly took the report from the opponent's hand, and quickly looked down.
Liu Jiahui also immediately got up and approached him, looking at the report, and directly at the data of the last time period.
They have read the previous data, and the trend is basically the same as before, but the overall improvement...
So, the surprises they were looking forward to were all at the end of Wang Cheng's appearance, and the highest ratings basically depended on Wang Cheng.
Just seeing the straight line rising from Wang Cheng's appearance, the two of them relaxed a bit, with smiles on their faces.
Then!
Look carefully at those numbers.
The staff also reported excitedly on the side: "Director Guo, Producer Liu. Unexpectedly, our ratings reached 4.1 last time, and this time there is a big improvement! Wang Cheng's performance is really amazing! It's wonderful, the peak ratings reached 4.3, that's amazing!"
"Before Wang Cheng appeared on the stage, the ratings were already 2.7, and Wang Cheng once again raised the ratings by 1.6!"
"Our average audience rating for this issue has also reached 2.8, which is very close to the average rating of 3.0..."
Guo Shouxin and Liu Jiahui also saw the detailed data and ratings trend above, their smiles became brighter, and they put the report on the table casually.
Both of them did not expect that the highest ratings of this issue had increased by a full 0.2 compared to the previous issue. This is definitely a huge increase for ratings above 4.0.
Although, last week's ratings have already shown that their stage has not reached the limit, so they have higher expectations.
However, their expectations for this episode's ratings are only increased by 0.1, and that is already a very optimistic forecast.
Unexpectedly, the reality was even higher than their most optimistic expectations!
This is definitely not a small surprise.
If it gets out, it will definitely shock the industry again!
"Hahaha!"
Guo Shouxin laughed.
Liu Jiahui also had a smile on his face.
The staff continued: "Right now, the entire Internet has exploded. The top five hot topics on several major social platforms are basically our program group and contestants! Wang Cheng dominates the three major social platforms and the three short videos The platform's most popular list, the video of him performing nunchaku has completely dominated the screen, and it can be seen everywhere on all video sites."
"The name of the work he sang is Nunchaku, and it is also the second most popular topic on Weibo..."
"However, in the end, he dodged the topic of the interaction between the two girl groups Pink Age and Flaming Youth, and it was also very popular, at the third place! The video was also edited everywhere..."
When the two were looking at the audience rating data and were happy.
tuk tuk...
There was a knock on the door.
The staff stopped reporting and turned to leave.
Guo Shouxin and Liu Jiahui also restrained their smiles, the door of the room opened, and several figures walked in.
This time, Zhang Huizhong, Li Guang and other colleagues did not come, but Zhang Yupeng, Shen Shenghui and Yu Jinghong's top executives came.
Zhang Yupeng came in and smiled and said, "I heard Director Guo's laughter from a distance. The ratings should be surprising, right? How much? Can I know?"
Shen Shenghui didn't speak in the back.
Yu Jinghong smiled and said, "Director Guo, is the data out?"
Guo Shouxin nodded, smiled and handed the report directly to Yu Jinghong, and said to Zhang Yupeng: "Of course Mr. Zhang knows, we are now a close cooperative relationship!"
Mofang Entertainment acquired Dongxing Entertainment and became Wang Cheng's agency, so it naturally became a cooperative relationship with Tomorrow's Idol, and there may be cooperation every year in the future.
Because, Rubik’s Cube Entertainment has also obtained a small amount of shares in the two major program groups of Oriental Star and Spring and Summer You, and can send trainees to participate in the audition every year, competing for the opportunity to be on the stage of tomorrow’s idol.
With the resources of Rubik’s Cube Entertainment, which is a giant in the industry, the quality of trainees should not be bad. Maybe every year, there will be a team of trainees under its banner on the stage of Tomorrow’s Idol, and it will take the initiative in the traffic era.
So, the cooperative relationship between the two parties is indeed much closer.
When Yu Jinghong saw the highest number of 4.3 above, her pupils froze slightly, and she was shocked in her heart. Then she handed the report to Zhang Yupeng, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, take a look. Wang Cheng is in charge of the audience again."
Zhang Yupeng brought it over, and looked at it with Shen Shenghui. After a closer look, the two of them were naturally shocked. They didn't expect that this episode of Tomorrow's Idol could actually increase the ratings by a full 0.2 points.
When the ratings are above 4.0, it is very difficult to increase it by a little bit, and the benefits brought by the increase are naturally relatively equal, enough to make people greedy.
The benefits generated by Idol of Tomorrow will definitely be more amazing than the previous one.
If such ratings can last for the next few episodes until the end...
The revenue created by Tomorrow Idol this year may break the annual revenue record of variety shows!
Zhang Yupeng was thinking in his heart, looked at the ratings report, laughed and said: "As expected of Director Guo, who is known as the number one variety show director in China, and the best partner, Producer Liu, the ratings will definitely make many people Shocked and admired...awesome..."
Zhang Yupeng gave Guo Shouxin and Liu Jiahui a thumbs up.
Guo Shouxin hastily said modestly: "Mr. Zhang is too serious. I am definitely not the number one variety show director. We just did our own job, and the performances of the contestants are so wonderful! Especially Wang Cheng, absolutely He is the biggest contributor..."
Liu Jiahui said with a smile: "That's right, Wang Cheng, Wen Yixiao, and Du Wei are the biggest surprises in the entertainment industry this year. Their performances are really exciting, and they will naturally increase the ratings!"
Yu Jinghong nodded to Liu Jiahui, expressing her approval of Liu Jiahui's words. At this time, it is natural to bring artists from her own company, and she can't exalt the artists of the other company too much, otherwise she will be taken over by the other party and be at a disadvantage.
"Oh? Wang Cheng is the biggest hero... But the treatment Wang Cheng received is too insignificant compared to the achievements he has created, right?"
Shen Shenghui looked at Guo Shouxin and Liu Jiahui and said with a smile.
The atmosphere in the office suddenly cooled down.
Guo Shouxin and Liu Jiahui restrained their smiles at the same time. Yu Jinghong sat down calmly and watched this scene, thinking about how the company should respond.
The three of them knew that Rubik's Cube entertained the two of them, but this time the visitor was not kind!
But…
They also know that they are at an absolute disadvantage.
because!
Wang Cheng is an artist under the other party's banner.
And Wang Cheng is too important to them.
Guo Shouxin remained silent and did not interfere in these matters. He was only in charge of program production.
Liu Jiahui looked at Zhang Yupeng who was still smiling, and smiled again: "Mr. Zhang, Director Shen, and Wang Cheng's treatment is already ten times that of other trainees. Wen Yixiao's treatment is only a few hundred thousand per session... "
Shen Shenghui looked at Liu Jiahui and said, "Oh? Producer Liu, everyone gets less, is that right? The program crew and the TV station earn so much, but give a little to the performers, is this something to be proud of? "
Now, Liu Jiahui was speechless.
Because he couldn't refute the other party's words!
In the past few years, only a symbolic performance fee was given to the players, which is the default unspoken rule of all participating companies. Penguin Entertainment is naturally happy to save production costs. It defaults to this unspoken rule. The trainees participating in the performance are all newcomers who have just debuted. Naturally, there is no way to object and resist. It is very happy to get the opportunity to show exposure, and it doesn’t care how much it can get. Money, since they are newcomers anyway, the price itself is very low.
However, since it is an unspoken rule, it cannot be stated explicitly.
Otherwise, wouldn’t it be explicit exploitation of child labor?
Just like the Spring Festival Gala, they will not make a big deal about the fact that they invite super giants to only pay tens of thousands of performance fees, and the big names who have received tens of thousands of performance fees will not go around saying that they have suffered a loss, but will also thank the Spring Festival Gala The program group gave them the opportunity to perform.
However, this year's Wang Cheng is different from the newcomers who appeared on Tomorrow's Idol in the past few years!
Because, when Wang Cheng stepped onto the stage of Tomorrow Idol, he was already a top-tier celebrity.
The price given to Wang Cheng seemed too low.
Liu Jiahui looked at Shen Shenghui, frowned and said, "What does Director Shen want to say?"
Shen Shenghui looked at Liu Jiahui, then at Yu Jinghong, and said, "It just so happens that Mr. Yu is here today. On behalf of Mofang Entertainment Company, which is Wang Cheng's agency, I ask you to improve your salary! The salary you give , totally unworthy of Wang Cheng's popularity and performance level."
"I think everyone knows this."
Yu Jinghong said calmly: "This matter is out of my control!"
Liu Jiahui looked at Shen Shenghui and said seriously: "We signed a contract for a whole season of performances before."
Shen Shenghui nodded: "I've read the contract, and the contract price is only 20 million for the entire season. Do you know how much Wang Cheng's announcement fee was in the spring and summer program group before? The announcement fee for a performance is already 800 How could it be possible to give you only 20 million for the whole season? Therefore, I suspect that you have a secret deal with Liu Jinfeng of Dongxing Entertainment, which is why you signed this contract that is seriously inconsistent with Wang Cheng's market price. This contract we I won't admit it!"
Hoo...
Liu Jiahui and Guo Shouxin both took a deep breath at the same time, feeling annoyed in their hearts. They never expected Shen Shenghui to turn his face like this and directly deny the performance contract!
Yu Jinghong's sitting figure also froze for a moment, she looked deeply at Zhang Yupeng and Shen Shenghui.
She reminded the company's top management before that Penguin Entertainment's strategic development now relies heavily on Wang Cheng's performance, and it must be ensured that Wang Cheng is in the hands, otherwise it may be manipulated by the company behind Wang Cheng...
Tomorrow Idol relies on Wang Cheng to raise the ratings to over 4.0, creating the highest ratings in ten years.
Penguin Video relied on Idol of Tomorrow to open up the market in other Southeast Asian countries.
Penguin Music broke through the stalemate in the online music market that had lasted for several years with Wang Cheng’s songs on Tomorrow’s Idol, and once again increased its market share!
Once Wang Cheng and Tomorrow Idol, the cooperation with Penguin Entertainment will be terminated!
That would be a big blow to Penguin Entertainment's current momentum of development...
Tomorrow Idol’s amazing ratings are absolutely impossible to maintain, so the newly opened market in Southeast Asia may not be able to continue to expand.
Penguin Music does not have Wang Cheng’s popular works, and may not be able to continue to squeeze the other two platforms...
And this is just her previous doubts and worries.
But she didn't expect it.
It’s really happening now, and it’s happening so fast.
It follows that wonderful law - what you worry about, something will happen.
Mofang Entertainment had just acquired Dongxing Entertainment, and the day after they got hold of Wang Cheng's management contract, they came directly to use Wang Cheng to deter tomorrow's idol program group, and then threatened the entire Penguin Entertainment Group!
Yu Jinghong took a deep breath. She knew that neither Liu Jiahui nor her vice president had the right to take care of this matter. She had to report it to President Lei Zhenzong.
The room fell silent.
A few seconds later.
Liu Jiahui looked at Shen Shenghui and said, "Director Shen, are you not acting properly?"
Shen Shenghui asked back: "Oh? You are authentic? Wang Cheng gave you a record-breaking rating of 4.3, how much did you give him? If he can't get what he deserves, then why continue to make you here?"
Liu Jiahui took a deep breath and had nothing to say, so he could only ask, "Then Director Shen, what do you want?"
Guo Shouxin and Yu Jinghong watched silently, with heavy hearts.
Zhang Yupeng looked relaxed, like a spectator.
Shen Shenghui had a smile on his face and said, "We just want what we deserve!"
Liu Jiahui: "Then Director Shen thinks, what do you deserve?"
Shen Shenghui nodded: "It's very simple! Wang Cheng is a superstar. Now he has 67 million fans and will soon pass 70 million. He is not at the bottom among the few superstars now. Want a share Isn’t the remuneration that matches his position too high? Secondly, we, Rubik’s Cube Entertainment, want to invest in Tomorrow’s Idol!”
"impossible!"
"This is impossible…"
After hearing the final condition, Liu Jiahui and Guo Shouxin rejected it at the same time.
Yu Jinghong also shook her head affirmatively, expressing that this is impossible.
Give money.
They can think about it. Anyway, the income of the program group is exaggerated now. It doesn't matter if they give Wang Cheng a huge contract. As long as they can continue the rest of the show, they can earn more.
but!
Mofang Entertainment wants to take a stake in the idol of tomorrow, which is impossible for them to agree to.
Moreover, it is impossible for Penguin Entertainment to agree.
Yu Jinghong finally said: "Director Shen, this is impossible. One Wang Cheng is not enough for the head office to give up the shares of Tomorrow's Idol."
Liu Jiahui also said affirmatively: "Yes, shares are impossible. The price of the announcement can be negotiated, and it is not impossible to give Wang Cheng a contract that matches his popularity..."
Shen Shenghui said with a smile: "Then our two sides are exactly the opposite. We can accept the reduction of Wang Cheng's contract price, even if we don't change it, we can continue to implement the current contract, we can also agree. However, we must get a part of the shares of Tomorrow's Idol, Our requirements are not high, any number of shares is fine, even 1% is fine, and we will purchase at the market price.”
The office fell silent again.
Shen Shenghui and Zhang Yupeng both know that Liu Jiahui, Guo Shouxin, and Yu Jinghong are not qualified to determine the ownership of the shares of Tomorrow Idol, so it is impossible to get an answer today, and may even have to get an answer in a short time.
So, after Shen Shenghui finished speaking, the two got up and said goodbye.
Zhang Yupeng said: "Mr. Yu, Director Guo, and Producer Liu, let's take our leave first. Our company's request is very simple, and I hope you go back and discuss it carefully. We are not trying to **** anything, but just want to establish a deeper relationship with you Penguin Entertainment." strategic partnership…”
Liu Jiahui: "Both walk slowly!"
Guo Shouxin and Yu Jinghong didn't speak, but watched them leave.
In the past few years since the establishment of Tomorrow Idol, except for giving up a small part of the shares in order to attract several companies to act together at the beginning, in the following years, Penguin Entertainment has not given up a little bit of shares, and firmly holds the shares in its hands. shares, control the entire program group, and become one of the traffic sources under Penguin Entertainment!
In the past few years, several other giants have proposed to Penguin Entertainment more than once to invest in Tomorrow Idol and get a small part of the shares, but Penguin Entertainment rejected them all.
Even if, even if a small share is given up, it will not affect the absolute holding of Penguin Entertainment.
However, Penguin Entertainment, which has already gained a firm foothold and dominated the traffic era, will naturally not give up a little profit, and will not give the few giants a chance to threaten themselves!
But…
The current Rubik's Cube Entertainment has seized the rare opportunity and made them feel uncomfortable.
After Zhang Yupeng and Shen Shenghui leave!
The office is still silent!
The joy of another breakthrough in ratings has completely dissipated.
Guo Shouxin and Liu Jiahui both took out their cigarettes and lit them up at the same time, frowning.
Yu Jinghong watched the two smoking, frowned slightly, and said softly: "This matter can only be reported to the head office."
Guo Shouxin said angrily: "Isn't it too much for them to do this?"
Liu Jiahui shook his head: "Who told us that we signed a contract with Dongxing Entertainment before? The contract price is indeed far lower than the market price. Now they turn their backs and deny it, and we can't help it...I'll give Mr. Lei a call!"
As he spoke, Liu Jiahui took out his phone and called Lei Zhenzong.
The phone was connected quickly.
Lei Zhenzong was also waiting for the ratings report of tomorrow's idol in the office. When he received a call from Liu Jiahui, he smiled and said, "Xiao Liu, have the ratings come out? How are you doing?"
Liu Jiahui forced a smile: "Hehe, it's not bad, the highest is 4.3, and the average is 2.8, which is an improvement from last week."
Lei Zhenzong also laughed.
Now Tomorrow Idol can be said to be the core of Penguin Entertainment's development, the largest source of traffic in the company, and the core driving force for the entire group to move forward.
"Okay! I also watched the live broadcast. The performance was really wonderful, especially Wang Cheng's performance. I really can't believe he is only nineteen years old..."
Lei Zhenzong's tone was full of admiration, but also a trace of regret.
Regretted not being able to buy Wang Cheng under his banner.
Liu Jiahui didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Mr. Lei, Zhang Yupeng and Shen Shenghui from Rubik's Cube Entertainment just came to see us."
Lei Zhenzong's smile also subsided: "I know Qin Yuhai is in your program group, what do they want from you?"
Liu Jiahui: "Well, there's something wrong! They said they don't recognize the contract we signed with Dongxing Entertainment before, and they want to renegotiate Wang Cheng's performance contract, and want a contract that matches Wang Cheng's current status and popularity!"
Want money?
Lei Zhenzong relaxed a little, and said seriously: "They bought Dongxing Entertainment, so naturally they have to bear the contract of Dongxing Entertainment. If they breach the contract, they must bear the responsibility for breach of contract."
Of course he couldn't agree immediately.
However, he felt a little helpless after speaking.
Because, he also knows about the contract situation between Tomorrow Idol and the trainees of various companies.
What is given is a symbolic performance fee, so the liability for breach of the contract is naturally not high, just return the performance fee!
This is because some trainees quit midway due to unexpected factors, and the company behind them is also a cooperative company. It is impossible to ask for a large liquidated damages, and there will be a long-term cooperation in the future, so the liability for breach of contract is not high!
So, Rubik's Cube Entertainment breached the contract, and Wang Cheng's performance contract only needs to pay 20 million liquidated damages.
Compared to the income that Wang Cheng brought to the program group and Penguin Entertainment, it is nothing worth mentioning!
So, Lei Zhenzong was silent for a while, and then said: "You can consider it as appropriate."
Liu Jiahui added: "This is not all, Shen Shenghui also proposed on behalf of Rubik's Cube Entertainment that they want to invest in Tomorrow's Idol!"
Lei Zhenzong quickly and firmly said: "This is impossible!"
Liu Jiahui: "That's what I said too..."
Lei Zhenzong: "What did they say?"
Liu Jiahui: "They said that as long as 1% of the shares are fine, they will buy them at the market price. I think they just want a ticket, and I said it's impossible. Then, they left."
Lei Zhenzong was silent for a while.
He didn't want to give away this 1% of the shares.
Mofang Entertainment is different from those small and medium-sized companies that it has cooperated with before. This is an established entertainment giant, and its influence and strength are not comparable to those of small and medium-sized companies.
Let Mofang Entertainment take a stake in Tomorrow Idol, even if it is only 1% of the shares, it can be regarded as having a little voice, and its influence on the program group is greater than that of other small and medium-sized companies combined.
Lei Zhenzong: "No! Now is the hottest time for Wang Cheng, and they must be concerned about Wang Cheng's feelings and market reaction."
Liu Jiahui smiled bitterly: "I hope so too. That is, we are not sure what Wang Cheng himself thinks!"
Lei Zhenzong: "He's so popular now, and he's gaining followers the fastest. Surely he doesn't want to leave?"
Hearing this, Liu Jiahui can be sure that Lei Zhenzong did not know Wang Cheng in detail, which is not as good as Qin Yuhai of Rubik's Cube Entertainment.
Of course, he also knows that as the president of Penguin Entertainment, Lei Zhenzong is also very busy with many things every day, busier than Qin Yuhai. It is only natural that he does not have so much time to learn more about a celebrity artist!
No matter how popular, no matter how famous a star artist is, in the eyes of capital, he is just a star artist, a tool for capital to make money, and will not pay too much attention to it, nor will he treat it equally.
Liu Jiahui explained, and said: "Other celebrities may be like Mr. Lei said, reluctant to leave the current idol of tomorrow, and reluctant to have such exposure. But, Wang Cheng, he may not care about it!"
Lei Zhenzong was surprised: "He doesn't care about these? Then what does he care about?"
Liu Jiahui smiled wryly: "This is the question that all of us want to know the answer to. What exactly does Wang Cheng want? I think, now President Qin of Rubik's Cube Entertainment wants to know very urgently. Every one of us wants to know too, but no one wants to know." Know the answer!"
Guo Shouxin and Yu Jinghong who were next to him also smiled helplessly when they heard this. They really couldn't do anything about Wang Cheng, and they had no idea what this nineteen-year-old boy wanted.
Lei Zhenzong also said helplessly: "Then if they break the contract and take Wang Cheng away, what will happen to the program team? Can Wen Yixiao support it?"
Lei Zhenzong began to predict the worst outcome.
Liu Jiahui shook his head: "Wen Yixiao should be able to support ratings of around 3.3 to 3.5 at most. This is still the case with Du Wei and other good trainees. At the beginning, Wen Yixiao was in Shonan Satellite TV, and there was another strong woman Together with trainee Zhu Ziqi, they just brought the ratings to 3.0!"
"Zhu Ziqi's strength is hardly weaker than Du Wei's, and the resources of Tomorrow's Idol are more abundant. I estimate optimistically. Without Wang Cheng, our ratings can reach 3.5 at most!"
"However, this is based on the premise of the live broadcast at 8:00 pm. If we use the live broadcast at 5:00 pm as a reference, our highest audience rating may be around 2.5 to 3.0!"
Liu Jiahui's words silenced Lei Zhenzong on the opposite side again.
Two seconds later, Lei Zhenzong said: "Let's see what they do first, and then we can think about countermeasures. It is impossible to sell the shares of tomorrow's idols. Use as much money as possible to solve the problem!"
Liu Jiahui nodded: "Okay, Mr. Lei, I will report to you if there is any situation."
Lei Zhenzong: "Good!"
hang up the phone!
Liu Jiahui was full of helplessness and sadness, while Guo Shouxin was smoking a cigarette vigorously.
Yu Jinghong's phone rang suddenly. She picked it up and saw that it was really Lei Zhenzong calling, and she connected right away: "Mr. Lei, I'm also here with Director Guo and Producer Liu."
Lei Zhenzong: "Well, Jinghong, I regret it..."
Yu Jinghong was silent, she knew what Lei Zhenzong meant, but it was useless to say any more at this time.
Lei Zhenzong sighed: "If Wang Cheng were an artist under our banner now, there would be no such thing! Hey... I should have put all my eggs in one basket to support you..."
Yu Jinghong also smiled wryly: "Boss Lei, it's meaningless to say these things now."
Lei Zhenzong quickly said: "Of course it makes sense. You say, we are bidding 5 billion now and only buying the contract of Wang Cheng alone. Will Qin Yuhai sell it? Or, persuade Wang Cheng to breach the contract personally, and we will pay the liquidated damages. Agree to any of his conditions..."
Yu Jinghong froze for a moment, then shook her head slightly and said: "Wang Cheng's side is impossible, he will not breach the contract. As for whether Qin Yuhai will agree to let Wang Cheng go, it depends on whether they can persuade Wang Cheng to renew the contract. If Wang Cheng can't renew the contract, then his investment will be lost. Because Wang Cheng can't help him earn back the money within two years, and when Wang Cheng leaves, he will lose money!"
"So, if we buy Wang Cheng's contract at a high price at this time, he may sell it... He can buy Dongxing Entertainment other than Wang Cheng for 200 million yuan, which can be regarded as a big profit investment."
The previous Dongxing Entertainment was worth 500 to 600 million. Even if Wang Cheng is not added at this time, Huang Bin, Mo Bailin, Ma Yunfei and other first-tier players, as well as Zhang Hanwen, the second-tier player, the value will not be less than one billion , you can buy it with only 200 million yuan, it is definitely a lucrative investment!
Lei Zhenzong immediately said: "Then you should contact Qin Yuhai on behalf of the company now, and see if you can buy Wang Cheng back!"
Yu Jinghong asked suspiciously: "Mr. Lei, don't you need a meeting to make a decision? I think other directors may have opinions."
Lei Zhenzong said in a deep voice: "They will keep their opinions. It was their opinions that made us miss Wang Cheng last time, so we are so passive now. Mofang Entertainment just bought Wang Cheng, and they came to threaten us the next day. Aren't we going to be threatened by them all the time after that?"
"So, this time, I will give you a budget of up to 5.5 billion, as long as you can buy Wang Cheng back. When they have opinions, I will bear it."
A trace of helplessness flashed in Yu Jinghong's eyes, thinking that if Lei Zhenzong had given her such support last week, Wang Cheng would already be an artist under Penguin Entertainment.
It may not be too late, though.
As long as Wang Cheng can be bought, that's enough. Yu Jinghong doesn't care about the others in Dongxing Entertainment.
So, Yu Jinghong agreed: "Okay, Mr. Lei, I'll go see Mr. Qin right away."
Put the phone down!
Both Guo Shouxin and Liu Jiahui looked at Yu Jinghong at the same time.
Liu Jiahui immediately asked: "Mr. Yu, what did Mr. Lei say?"
Guo Shouxin guessed: "Boss Lei wants to buy Wang Cheng's contract?"
Yu Jinghong didn't hide anything, nodded and said: "Well, Mr. Lei asked me to take full responsibility. Talk to Mr. Qin from Rubik's Cube Entertainment, can you buy Wang Cheng's contract!"
She didn't tell the two about the specific budget range, for fear of spreading it.
However, the two were overjoyed when they heard the news.
Although, the acquisition of Dongxing Entertainment failed last time.
However, they now believe that if Lei Zhenzong lets Yu Jinghong take action again, his budget and determination will definitely increase, and there will be a great chance to buy Wang Cheng back, and then they will continue to cooperate with Wang Cheng smoothly.
Liu Jiahui: "It would be great if I could buy back Wang Cheng's contract!"
Guo Shouxin also nodded, but he was not very optimistic about it.
Yu Jinghong stood up and said goodbye: "It's not too late. It just so happens that President Qin is here. I'll go see him right now."
Liu Jiahui followed suit and went out: "I will also go to Wang Cheng and urge him to upload new songs as soon as possible, otherwise Lao Huang will call us again later."
Guo Shouxin went to the program group to get busy. Today's performance ended successfully, and he will start to arrange next week's performance again.
It's just that, thinking of the high ratings this week, Wang Cheng still doesn't know if he can continue to perform next week...
Guo Shouxin's heart became extremely heavy.
After experiencing such high ratings, Guo Shouxin has no interest in ratings below 4.0.
Liu Jiahui went around the cafeteria, but he didn't see Wang Cheng. He asked a few trainees, and knowing that Wang Cheng had gone back to the dormitory, he immediately walked to Wang Cheng's dormitory.
And Yu Jinghong went to Qin Yuhai's lounge to look, but couldn't find anyone, so she asked the staff, and was told that Qin Yuhai went to find Wang Cheng, and also went to Wang Cheng's dormitory!
Liu Jiahui and Yu Jinghong met again at the door of Wang Cheng's dormitory. When they saw Zhang Yupeng and Shen Shenghui guarding the door, they knew that Qin Yuhai must be inside.
Yu Jinghong nodded to Zhang Yupeng and said, "I have something to discuss with Mr. Qin."
Zhang Yupeng didn't stop him, but smiled and said, "Boss Qin just went in too."
Yu Jinghong knocked on the door lightly.
Then, Wang Cheng's calm voice came from inside: "Come in!"
Yu Jinghong walked in, Liu Jiahui thought for a while, and followed in!
The scene in the room surprised both of them slightly.
I saw Wang Cheng sitting calmly on the chair in front of the table as usual, holding a book in his hand, as if he didn't see Qin Yuhai sitting across from him and Qin Mo standing there.
Qin Yuhai also looked calm, showing no signs of anger, just sat in front of Wang Cheng and looked at Wang Cheng.
See Yu Jinghong and Liu Jiahui walking in.
Wang Cheng took a look at the two of them, then continued to read without saying a word.
Qin Yuhai smiled and said, "Mr. Yu and Producer Liu are also here, is there anything wrong? Or, you can come in after I finish talking with Wang Cheng."
Yu Jinghong shook her head and said, "President Qin, I have something to do with you, about Wang Cheng."
Qin Yuhai glanced at Wang Cheng, and then said to Yu Jinghong: "Mr. Yu can talk now!"
Yu Jinghong froze for a moment, and also took a look at Wang Cheng. She didn't expect that Qin Yuhai didn't care about Wang Cheng at all, so she was willing to say it in front of Wang Cheng, which could show that Penguin Entertainment attached great importance to Wang Cheng. He said, "Boss Qin, I discussed it with Boss Lei. Your company offered 5 billion yuan to buy Wang Cheng's contract from Mofang Entertainment!"
As soon as these words came out, the room became even quieter.
Liu Jiahui's eyes widened, and his breathing slowed down for a while. He never expected that this time Lei Zhenzong would be so generous. He bid 5 billion, only to buy Wang Cheng's contract alone, which was different from the previous price given to Dongxing Entertainment. Same!
This is definitely the highest single-person contract price in the history of the Chinese entertainment industry!
The other super giants, even if the combined price of two or three super giant contracts is impossible to be so exaggerated.
Qin Yuhai's body stiffened for a moment when he heard it, and his heart was indeed very excited...
Because Wang Cheng really has no intention of renewing his contract now.
With less than two years remaining, he felt that it was impossible to earn back 5 billion by relying on Wang Cheng. Even the entire Rubik's Cube Entertainment might not be able to make a profit of 5 billion in two years!
When Wang Cheng's contract expires and leaves, his investment will be in vain...
However, if Wang Cheng’s contract is sold now for 5 billion, and other high-quality assets of Dongxing Entertainment can be left behind, then he will make a lot of money on this investment.
Heartbroken, Qin Yuhai looked at Wang Cheng who was sitting across from him. Seeing that Wang Cheng was still reading, he didn't look at himself, Yu Jinghong and others. Hearing the five billion purchase of his contract, his expression didn't change at all. Hearing the same, it can be seen that his concentration is absolutely extraordinary, not at all the concentration that a nineteen-year-old boy should have.
This son must be extraordinary.
Qin Yuhai still has a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that Wang Cheng can be persuaded to renew his contract within the next two years, so Wang Cheng's future long-term value cannot be measured by five billion.
Moreover, he immediately thought that this is still an opportunity to win over Wang Cheng, and immediately shook his head firmly to Yu Jinghong and said: "Wang Cheng is not for sale in our company. I regard him as my partner. He won't sell it. You don't need it." Moreover."
Qin Mo standing behind, like Liu Jiahui, held his breath. He was taken aback by this number, and was also admired by his uncle Qin Yuhai's courage. Five billion could refuse!
However, she admired the opposite party even more for reading the book calmly. It seemed that the two sides were not discussing Wang Cheng himself.
Yu Jinghong looked at Qin Yuhai, and said directly again: "5.2 billion! Mr. Qin, this is the price you paid for Dongxing Entertainment. We will return the money to you now. You only need to pay Wang Cheng's contract alone, which is equivalent to You got a Dongxing Entertainment for nothing, and you got ten first-tier, several second-tier, and a group of high-quality trainees for nothing! This is definitely a big investment for you."
Qin Yuhai hesitated again.
The price is really exciting.
Only bought it for two days, changed hands and sold Wang Cheng alone, and got all the investment back, and got other high-quality assets under Dongxing Entertainment for nothing, which is definitely a textbook-like investment operation in the circle.
However, Qin Yuhai looked at Wang Cheng, and said firmly again: "Mr. Yu, I said it before, so there is no need to say any more. I am very optimistic about Wang Cheng, and I want to cooperate with Wang Cheng for a long time!"
Yu Jinghong did not give up, and continued: "5.3 billion! Mr. Qin, you got Dongxing Entertainment for nothing, and you can earn 100 million in cash!"
Hoo...
Liu Jiahui and Qin Mo took a deep breath at the same time to calm down the excitement in their hearts.
These two giants clashed, and billions of figures were at every turn.
Really exciting.
The center of the confrontation between the two giants is still sitting there reading a book calmly.
Wow...
There was a crisp sound of flipping a book.
Wang Cheng turned the pages of the book lightly, carefully looking at the words on the page.
Qin Yuhai and Yu Jinghong looked at Wang Cheng at the same time, and found that Wang Cheng was just flipping through the book and didn't look at them. They were a little disappointed.
Both of them have their own thoughts.
Yu Jinghong wanted to show that Penguin Entertainment attached great importance to Wang Cheng through her continuous bidding.
And Qin Yuhai also wanted to show his importance to Wang Cheng by constantly refusing high prices, and wanted to use it as a bargaining chip to persuade Wang Cheng to renew his contract in the future.
Qin Yuhai, who had already decided in his heart, continued to implement it, and shook his head again: "5.3 billion is impossible, Wang Cheng is my partner, not a commodity that can be bought and sold, and I will not sell it."
Yu Jinghong also took a deep breath, and said directly: "5.4 billion! Mr. Qin, you earned 200 million cash and a company for nothing."
Qin Yuhai shook his head: "It's still the same, Wang Cheng is not a commodity, but my friend, my partner!"
Speaking, Qin Yuhai deliberately asked Wang Chengwei: "Wang Cheng, what do you think?"
Wang Cheng didn't answer him, nor did he look at him, and continued to look at the words on the book in his hand.
A trace of embarrassment and helplessness flashed in Qin Yuhai's eyes. Seeing that Wang Cheng still ignored him so much, he felt an urge to sell Wang Cheng and leave now.
But…
He still held back!
He saw Wang Cheng's performance with his own eyes today, so he knows more clearly how great potential and benefits Wang Cheng has.
That wonderful and crazy performance, even if you look at the whole world, is the only one.
He wants to gamble!
Betting that Wang Cheng can renew his contract within two years...
If you win the bet, you can make a lot of money in the next 20 to 30 years, starting at least 10 billion.
If he loses the bet, he will lose at least three or four billion yuan, which he can barely bear.
Yu Jinghong looked at Wang Cheng and explained: "Wang Cheng, we are not buying or selling you as a commodity. I just want you to go to Penguin Entertainment. We will give you more respect and freedom, and will not interfere with your freedom to go on the show!"
She didn't care about Wang Cheng's ignorance. After explaining, she said to Qin Yuhai: "Mr. Qin, 5.5 billion, this price has exceeded our bottom line. It is my private bid for you. But don't worry, as long as you agree , I promise you can get the money!"
"You earned 300 million cash and a Dongxing Entertainment for nothing."
Five and a half billion!
At this moment, Qin Yuhai was moved again...
Once changed hands, in two days, I earned 300 million cash for nothing, plus Dongxing Entertainment without Wang Cheng, added up to at least 1.5 billion...
Hoo...
Qin Yuhai breathed heavily, then stared at Wang Cheng, and said firmly: "Impossible, I still say that Wang Cheng is my partner, not a commodity that can be traded."
Yu Jinghong was silent for a while.
Because, 5.5 billion is already the bottom line price Lei Zhenzong gave her.
She hesitated for a moment, and truly made a decision privately. She said in a deep voice: "President Qin, my last offer is a one-stop price of 6 billion! If you agree, you can go to the headquarters of Penguin Entertainment Group to sign the deal today..."
Yu Jinghong wanted to break Qin Yuhai's psychological defense line at once, so she raised it so much privately.
Hoohoo…
Liu Jiahui took a few quick breaths to ease his nervousness.
Qin Mo also widened his eyes and opened his mouth slightly.
This price really surprised both of them!
Six billion, just to buy one person's contract, and only a two-year contract.
If this is said, no one in the entire entertainment industry will dare to believe it.
Qin Yuhai clenched his hands into fists, and stimulated himself with his thumb nails, letting the pain stimulate his nerves. Don't lose his mind, still shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "Impossible..."
He stared at Wang Cheng, wanting to let Wang Cheng know how much he gave up for him.
But.
Wang Cheng was still just reading the book, and didn't glance at him or Yu Jinghong. It seemed that the confrontation between the two sides had nothing to do with him.
Yu Jinghong's heart sank, she knew that even six billion could not buy Wang Cheng, Qin Yuhai's determination was beyond her imagination, and it might be difficult to buy Wang Cheng in the future, showing a reluctant smile: "Mr. Qin is so determined!" , So courageous, I admire it!"
Qin Yuhai also grinned reluctantly: "Mr. Yu is equally courageous, and he is willing to bet on his career. If Mr. Yu is willing to buy our Rubik's Cube job, I can give you the position of vice president..."
Yu Jinghong shook her head: "I'm the vice president now! If that's the case, I'll take my leave first."
She looked at Wang Cheng and said, "Wang Cheng, our Penguin Entertainment will always open the door to you. As long as you ask, we will meet any conditions. Any conditions are fine..."
Yu Jinghong emphasized the word "any condition" with an accent, and then saw that Wang Cheng was still unresponsive, sighed in her heart, nodded to Qin Yuhai, and left. She needs to report what happened here to Lei Zhenzong quickly, I don't know Will I be punished for raising the price to 6 billion without permission?
Liu Jiahui did not leave with Yu Jinghong, he looked at Qin Yuhai, forced a smile, and then said to Wang Cheng in front of Qin Yuhai: "Wang Cheng, don't forget to upload the new song, tens of millions of fans are waiting for it! "
Wang Cheng's eyebrows twitched, and he replied lightly: "Yes!"
Then, in front of Liu Jiahui, Wang Cheng picked up his mobile phone and went to the backstage of Penguin Music, and uploaded the studio version of the nunchaku stored in the mobile phone.
Liu Jiahui breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Then I'll take my leave first!"
After finishing speaking, Liu Jiahui nodded to Wang Cheng and then to Qin Yuhai, then turned and left, feeling very shocked by the confrontation between Yu Jinghong and Qin Yuhai just now.
He knew that even if he told about what happened just now, no one would believe it. This would shatter the three views of many people, even Guo Shouxin, a veteran in the circle.
At the same time, Liu Jiahui couldn't understand the operation of Penguin Entertainment headquarters above...
Since I have the courage to spend 5.5 billion, or even 6 billion to buy Wang Cheng alone...
Why did you go there early?
When bidding with Mofang Entertainment for the acquisition of Dongxing Entertainment two days ago, why didn’t you raise the price?
I already had the courage to spend 6 billion, so I don’t have to be so passive now!
Liu Jiahui shook his head, feeling dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to express it to the company's senior management. He could only leave and looked at Shen Shenghui and Zhang Yupeng at the door, then turned and left.
Shen Shenghui looked at Liu Jiahui's back and reminded: "Producer Liu, you'd better communicate with your head office quickly. If you can't agree to our conditions as soon as possible, then we may bring Wang Cheng back to the company first."
Liu Jiahui stared at Shen Shenghui with wide eyes, and asked in disbelief: "Are you going to take Wang Cheng away now? Quit the program group?"
Shen Shenghui nodded: "Yes! If we can't reach an agreement, then we can only do this."
Liu Jiahui felt a headache, stared at Shen Shenghui and said, "Is Wang Cheng willing?"
Shen Shenghui asked back: "What do you think?"
Liu Jiahui was speechless. He felt that Wang Cheng might not care...
Besides, with Wang Cheng's lazy personality, he might be happier if he doesn't appear on the show and doesn't have to work on the show?
Liu Jiahui didn't say much, turned around and left. After walking into the elevator, he immediately took out his phone and made a call.
In the dormitory.
Wang Cheng is still reading.
Qin Yuhai looked at Wang Cheng and said, "Hehe, Wang Cheng, it seems that everyone is more aware of your strength and talent. With your strength and talent, tomorrow's idol program group gave too little. We will talk to them again How about your treatment, before that, you go back to the Demon Capital and take a rest, how about it?"
Wang Cheng finally looked up at Qin Yuhai, frowning slightly.
He doesn't like to break the contract, which will violate his principles of doing things.
But…
This is the brokerage company's breach of contract with the program group, and he personally does not count as a breach of contract.
Moreover, he is naturally happy to have a chance to rest.
It would be best if I could rest until the end of the brokerage contract...
so.
I thought about it for a while.
Wang Cheng did not refuse, but nodded slightly to Qin Yuhai: "Yes!"
Qin Yuhai inexplicably felt a sense of surprise, just because Wang Cheng talked to him.
Qin Mo also heaved a sigh of relief, looking at Wang Cheng's perfect face, he also felt a little more cordial.
Qin Yuhai felt that Wang Cheng might have been impressed by his performance just now, and immediately said: "That's good, we will set off to the airport later and return to the magic city. After returning, don't go back to the dormitory, go to Huayuan I will live in the villa of yours, and it will be your personal dormitory in the future, I will let Xiaomo live with me."
Qin Mo blushed slightly, and nodded in agreement.
but!
Wang Cheng shook his head lightly, and said calmly: "No, I will stay in the dormitory."
Qin Yuhai didn't force it, and said with a smile: "Of course, you can pack your things first, and go downstairs to meet later."
Wang Cheng nodded.
Qin Yuhai didn't wait too long: "Then we won't bother you to pack your things!"
After finishing speaking, Qin Yuhai led Qin Mo out first.
As soon as he walked out of Wang Cheng's dormitory, Qin Yuhai let out a sigh of relief, wiped off the sweat that suddenly oozed from his forehead, and vented his nervousness just now.
Six billion!
Just passed by myself.
Qin Yuhai felt a little regretful, but thinking of Wang Cheng's cooperation with him just now, he felt that his attitude of rejecting Yu Jinghong might have played a role, and his confidence in persuading Wang Cheng to renew the contract next time was greatly increased.
As long as Wang Cheng can be persuaded to renew the contract, he can earn back any price he pays now.
"Wang Cheng promised to return to Shanghai."
Qin Yuhai said lightly.
Both Zhang Yupeng and Shen Shenghui heaved a sigh of relief.
They were all worried that Wang Cheng would not cooperate with them just now. If Wang Cheng wanted to stay and perform, then they really couldn't take Wang Cheng away by force. After all, if Wang Cheng didn't leave, how could they tie Wang Cheng up?
Of course, the main reason is that they do not have any influence and control over the program group, otherwise they can directly prevent Wang Cheng from appearing on stage through the program group.
But, how could the Tomorrow Idol program group listen to them?
so.
Now that Wang Cheng is willing to leave, it will be easy.
"President Qin is on the move, Wang Cheng still wants to give President Qin face."
Shen Shenghui laughed and flattered Xiao Xiao.
Qin Yuhai was also in a good mood, shook his head with a smile, and then asked: "Just now Wang Cheng uploaded the song Nunchaku. You can ask, how is the sales feedback of this song after uploading?"
Shen Shenghui nodded, and immediately sent a message to an acquaintance of Penguin Music, and the other party replied immediately, only sending a long number.
but!
Qin Yuhai looked at the time.
Wang Cheng only uploaded for a minute.
The long string of numbers shocked everyone.
"This record in the Chinese music scene is really about to become Wang Cheng's personal record list!"
Zhang Yupeng sighed softly.
Shen Shenghui said in a cold voice: "Liu Jinfeng really deserves to die, the losses caused by that supplementary clause are getting more and more astonishing."
Think of the supplementary terms signed by Liu Jinfeng and Wang Cheng.
Qin Yuhai's eyes also flashed a trace of coldness.
