This Star Doesn’t Work Overtime

  Chapter 224 222. Ratings over 2? Here is a very powerful calligrapher!

  After eating...

  Zhu Ziqi, Wen Yixiao, Han Xiao, and An Keru quickly cleaned up all the dishes, and went to wash the dishes together!

  Wang Cheng, with his hands behind his back, walked slowly outside, and started to take a walk after dinner.

   Obviously, Wang Cheng's habit is no secret in the circle.

   Neither the program group nor Zhou Wen felt anything strange, and there were cameras following outside.

  Zhou Wen also followed Wang Cheng's pace, took a walk together, and said with a smile: "Wang Cheng, it seems that the outside world misunderstood you very much."

  He thought of the rumors about Wang Cheng from the outside world—

   Playing big names, scolding fans, not cooperating with the program team, doing things in their own way...

etc!

   Zhou Wen had already made mental preparations before, and would tolerate Wang Cheng's nonsense as much as possible.

  However, Wang Cheng completely conquered him with just one meal.

  People who are so diligent, cook with their own hands, and have their own regular work and rest time are unlikely to do excessive things.

  Because Zhou Wen is also the same kind of person.

   However, he is not as regular as Wang Cheng.

   After all, he has not ignored the insistence of all program groups and TV stations like Wang Cheng.

  Wang Cheng walked on the country road with his hands behind his back, ignoring the following of the two cameras next to him, and said indifferently: "Misunderstanding is not a misunderstanding, and it has nothing to do with me."

  Zhou Wen gave a thumbs up: "Awesome, your realm has already surpassed mine."

  He thought of the previous rumors from the outside world. It is rumored that Wang Cheng said that whether fans support or not has nothing to do with Wang Cheng himself!

   At that time, he didn't quite understand why Wang Cheng said such words.

  Now, he understands.

   This is the realm.

  An otherworldly realm.

   It is also a realm that can only be understood by people like him who have the same idea.

  Zhou Wen only felt that he was as good as a confidant: "The current entertainment industry is too impetuous. Young people like you who can calm down and polish themselves can't see it at all. You are the only one!"

   And behind…

Han Xiao, Wen Yixiao, Zhu Ziqi, and An Keru also worked together to quickly clean up the kitchen. Their hands and bodies were still wet, so they ran out in a hurry, following Wang Cheng's pace, not wanting to miss the time with Wang Cheng .

  Except for Han Xiao, it was the first time for everyone to take a walk with Wang Cheng after dinner, and they all had a strange feeling.

  Especially the oldest An Keru, looking at Wang Cheng's back, felt that this was the life she wanted...

  Unfortunately, she looked at Han Xiao, Wen Yixiao, and Zhu Ziqi next to her, and thought of her current development.

  Wang Cheng didn't talk much all the way, just listening to Zhou Wen, sometimes Wen Yixiao, Zhu Ziqi, and Han Xiao chatted a few words, and An Keru occasionally interjected, which was the best way to speak.

  After all, several people can be said to be not ordinary people. They have a lot of knowledge and insight since they were young, so it is not awkward to chat.

  Wang Cheng occasionally said a sentence or two, but it could serve as a summary and convinced several people. Even Zhou Wen felt that what Wang Cheng said made sense, and was secretly surprised.

  Before in this program, Zhou Wen was usually the one who summed up, because generally speaking, he was the person with the most knowledge and the deepest ideas.

   But now, he found himself a little shallow in front of Wang Cheng...

   Walk all the way back.

   Zhou Wen's attitude towards Wang Cheng changed even more, and his speech became more polite, as if he was facing a respected elder.

  Walking on the country road for an hour, Wang Cheng returned to his residence. He didn't care about other people's eyes and the surrounding cameras, and started to boil water to soak his feet.

  Han Xiao quickly helped light the fire again.

   And then there's...

   Not for a while.

   There was a row of seats under the pergola, and there was a foot bath in front of everyone, which was steaming, and everyone was full of enjoyment.

   Zhou Wen said with emotion: "It's been a long time since I enjoyed this show. This episode is really the most comfortable and enjoyable one for me."

In the previous programs, he had to be busy. He usually did the cooking. He was not as quick as Wang Cheng. He had to be busy for a long time. The guests usually helped him wash the dishes, and then he had to host the show. The show brings the guests to chat and play games together.

   But this time, he seemed to be a guest, and Wang Cheng seemed to be a rhythmic host.

  Cooking, walking, soaking feet, Wang Cheng is doing it, they are following...

  Wen Yixiao said with a smile: "I also like health preservation recently. I soak my feet every night before going to bed, which is good for my body."

  Zhou Wen laughed and said: "You have taken 20 years less detours than me!"

  Wang Cheng was the calmest, soaking his feet while reading a book.

   It seemed that this was not recording a program, but that he was on vacation alone.

  Squatting in front of the monitor outside, Li Chi and Zhang Huizhong stared at the screen seriously while eating their boxed lunch.

   Li Chi said in a low voice: "Director Zhang, do you have a feeling!"

  Zhang Huizhong took a mouthful of rice, without taking his eyes off the monitor, and asked in a low voice, "How does it feel?"

Li Chi also looked at the picture of persistence and said: "It's a very strange feeling, like a staring at Wang Cheng, wanting to see what he will do next, I really want to know his life, I really want to explore What kind of person is he..."

Forehead…

Zhang Huizhong stopped eating in his hands, moved his eyes away from the monitor with some surprise, looked at Li Chi, and said in thought: "It seems that I have this feeling! I look at these pictures with a feeling of relish. I want to keep watching! I want to see what else Wang Cheng will do, and I want to see what secrets he has!"

   "Is this the attraction of Wang Cheng?"

   Zhang Huizhong's question.

   Li Chi and several other staff members could not answer.

  Because, they are also deeply involved at this time.

  Especially the two female staff members, looking at the screen on the monitor, they were eating, but they forgot to eat after a while, and they didn’t even know that the box lunch in their hands was getting cold, so they kept staring at Wang Cheng on the monitor.

The last time they felt this way was when they watched Wang Cheng and Wen Yixiao face off in the Idol Finals tomorrow. When they watched Wang Cheng perform, they were really reluctant to blink their eyes. They were afraid that if they blinked they would miss a second. Wonderful.

Li Chi put down the cold lunch box in his hand, and said in a low voice: "Director Zhang, can you discuss with the director about the broadcast time of our show? I have a hunch that we have Wang Cheng in this episode, and it might be popular. We are not fans of Wang Cheng, we are all so curious about his life."

   "Where are those fans of Wang Cheng? They definitely want to see it more."

Zhang Huizhong took a look at Li Chi, then shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "Do you think the director doesn't want to change the time? You spent 50 to 60 million for this episode of the program just for the announcement fee! The station doesn't want to take back the money? "

   Li Chi was surprised, frowned and asked, "Then why can't the time be changed?"

  Zhang Huizhong sighed: "In the contract between Rubik's Cube Entertainment and Wang Cheng we signed, it is specifically stated that the broadcast time is 10:30 on Wednesday night, and it cannot be changed!"

   Li Chi was speechless for a few seconds, then sighed and said: "Mofang Entertainment is really using any means to suppress Wang Cheng."

Zhang Huizhong nodded: "It's a little unscrupulous! The successive high-priced concerts overdraw Wang Cheng's fan potential, and then accept the advertising endorsement of Hongxing, which is about to go bankrupt, to suppress Wang Cheng's commercial potential, and then accept your country life. Notice, to suppress Wang Cheng's potential in TV ratings."

   "This step by step is clearly planned!"

   Li Chi frowned and asked suspiciously: "Then why do we spend money to invite Wang Cheng?"

Zhang Huizhong looked at Wang Cheng on the monitor, and said in a complicated tone: "For the future! In order to continue to cooperate with Wang Cheng in the future, the contract between Mofang Entertainment and Wang Cheng is only one and a half years. We are now working with Wang Cheng." Basically, when Wang Cheng becomes a free man or has the right to make his own decisions in the future, it will be easier for us to invite him to cooperate."

  Li Chi: "Then Wang Cheng's popularity has been greatly reduced by Rubik's Cube Entertainment?"

Wang Cheng, who was reading a book on Zhang Huizhong's monitor, said with a smile: "Even if Wang Cheng's popularity drops, his strength will not decrease, and his stage charm will not decrease! This is enough. And, I have a hunch, Wang Cheng The ratings of this episode of Country Life recorded by Cheng Cheng may not be too low."

   "It may be able to meet Taili's expectations for you!"

  Li Chi was surprised: "Can the ratings break 2? There hasn't been a program with a rating of 2 in the midnight segment for more than ten years. I'm not talking about our station, but all the TV stations in the country!"

   Of course Zhang Huizhong also knows how difficult it is to break the ratings of the midnight show to 2.

In addition to the few talent shows that Wang Cheng and Wen Yixiao have appeared on this year, other normal variety shows, even the main shows on weekends, have a rating of more than 2, and even if they pass 2, it is only one or two episodes. 2. Most of the time the ratings are still only a little over!

   A stable rating of around 1.5 is enough to become a major TV station's flagship program.

  For example, the base camp of Shonan Satellite TV, and the trump card of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV.

   It can be seen that it is difficult for the ratings to exceed 2.

   Prime time on weekends is all so tough.

   And it is unimaginably difficult to get the ratings to exceed 2 in the midnight slot on Wednesday, no less than the 4 ratings in the prime time on weekends.

  So, in Zhang Huizhong's opinion.

  Wang Cheng’s recording of Country Life, as long as the ratings exceed 2, it proves its appeal and fan cohesion, and it does not break Zhang Huizhong’s original prediction of Wang Cheng’s lowest ratings of 4 points.

on site.

  After soaking his feet, Wang Cheng tidied up, nodded slightly to Zhou Wen and the others, and went back to his room to sleep on his own.

Then…

  Wen Yixiao followed Wang Cheng and went back to her room to sleep and rest.

  Her recent schedule is almost the same as Wang Cheng's.

  Han Xiao and An Keru originally thought they would have a vacation...

  However, Zhou Wen didn't let them go.

  Because, this program is still being recorded, and it is not yet ten o'clock, which is still early.

   Under normal circumstances, Zhou Wen was chatting with the guests of the show at this time, or he was performing talents, singing, writing, or dancing...

  However, he failed to take the initiative tonight and followed Wang Cheng's rhythm completely.

  At this time, both Wang Cheng and Wen Yixiao went back to rest. If Han Xiao and An Keru also left, then he would be the commander-in-chief. The recording of the show tonight can be stopped, and everyone can go home after work...

  However, this will not work!

  Zhou Wen is still very dedicated to his work. He dragged An Keru and Han Xiao to chat for a while, mainly talking about their work and calligraphy.

   Because Zhou Wen is very interested in calligraphy, and Han Xiao is known as the number one calligrapher in the entertainment industry!

  Zhou Wen smiled and asked Han Xiao: "Han Xiao, I also like calligraphy more. You are the number one calligrapher in the entertainment industry. Now you say that we are here, who has the best calligraphy? Is it you or me?"

  Han Xiao smiled and said, "Ask Sister Keru!"

  An Keru smiled and said, "You two are still far behind!"

   Zhou Wen asked in surprise: "Keru, are you also good at calligraphy? Are you a hidden calligrapher?"

  An Keru shook his head: "It's definitely not me, I don't have that talent and ability. There is a powerful calligrapher here, but not many people know it, so I can't tell you."

  Zhou Wen looked at Han Xiao, and Han Xiao hurriedly waved his hands: "It's definitely not me, and I won't tell you! Teacher Zhou, I'm going to rest first..."

   After finishing speaking, Han Xiao ran away.

  An Keru looked at the time, talked with Zhou Wen about some interesting things in the actor circle more professionally, and then went back to the room to rest.

  The recording work for this afternoon has officially ended.

   Get off work and call it a day.

  Most of the surrounding cameras stopped working, and naturally all the cameras in Wang Cheng's room also stopped working, only a few in the yard were still working normally.

Zhou Wen and Zhang Huizhong who got off work, Li Chi and the others greeted each other. They were still thinking about what An Keru and Han Xiao said about the calligraphers just now. They sat under the pergola and took out their own pen, ink, paper and inkstone to write up.

  As long as he has free time, he will practice calligraphy, and he will go back to his room to rest when it is almost twelve o'clock.

  …

  The next morning, six o'clock.

  Wang Cheng got up on time, put on his sportswear, didn't wear a mask or a hat, and went out easily for his morning run.

but…

  He just went out.

  Han Xiao, Wen Yixiao, Zhu Ziqi, and An Keru are all ready!

   Obviously, the four of them had set the alarm clocks in advance, and they were waiting for Wang Cheng to go out together.

  Wang Cheng nodded slightly to the four of them. Instead of going out for a morning run right away, he went to the kitchen to cook a pot of porridge and put it on a small fire.

  The morning air in the mountain village is very cool, and every breath is refreshing.

  Han Xiao, Wen Yixiao, Zhu Ziqi, and An Keru all followed Wang Cheng's pace and ran slowly.

Han Xiao couldn't resist the urge to talk to Wang Cheng. As usual, he habitually said a lot of information he knew: "Wang Cheng, the advertisement you shot for Hongxing became popular. Many people said that this is the most Good-looking ad! It just didn’t mention a brand name…”

  Wang Cheng didn't speak.

Zhu Ziqi, as the heroine who participated in the filming of the MV, said: "Wang Cheng told the boss of Hongxing that he could shoot a song MV. They agreed, and Wang Cheng did it! Wang Cheng did almost all the work, director, lighting, stage The setup, and the post-editing..."

so smart?

  Han Xiao, Wen Yixiao, and An Keru all stared at Wang Cheng with wide eyes.

  Wang Cheng ignored them and ran on his own.

Han Xiao: "Hong Xing's shoes are on fire. They are all sold out in stock. Now they are all pre-ordered. It will take at least a week to get them, but there are still many people who place orders. I saw some statistics. Since your ad was launched, as of this morning, at least it has accumulated more than one billion in sales!"

  Sold one billion in one night!

  Everyone was a little shocked when they heard this number.

   Hong Xing really turned around overnight. The total valuation before was only about one billion, but now the sales exceeded one billion in one night. Hong Xing’s valuation can now be at least ten billion.

  Wen Yixiao joined in and said, "I want to buy a pair of dragon series shoes but I can't find them. I can only place an order and pre-order them. I expect to get them in half a month."

  Wen Yixiao can still think of Mo Jinhua's regretful tone when she called her last night.

   Now that Hongxing has become popular overnight, everyone wants to gain popularity.

An Keru asked curiously: "Wang Cheng, when will your new song be available for download? This is a question that tens of millions of fans want to know the answer to. In addition to this commercial song, you have three songs that have not been uploaded. Everyone All anxious!"

   Several people looked at Wang Cheng with anticipation in their eyes.

  Wang Cheng shook his head: "I don't know, I don't have time for now!"

have no idea?

  No time yet?

   Several people froze for a moment, then smiled wryly in their hearts, knowing that Wang Cheng just didn't want to record songs and upload them.

   Otherwise, according to what they learned, when Wang Cheng was in Shanghai, he had a half-day break every day, which was enough time for him to record and upload a few songs.

   is capricious, too lazy to upload!

   Such a talented but lazy celebrity artist is really...

cute!

  If it is someone else, they may feel that they are playing big cards and forgetting their roots.

   But when it happened to Wang Cheng, they only felt that Wang Cheng had his own personality and was a little cute.

   Several people jogged around the mountain road in the small mountain village...

  Wang Cheng memorized the terrain and the direction of the road, and slowly ran back with a few people.

   Go back to the yard.

  Zhou Wen was already standing under the arbor to write again.

  Wang Cheng ignored the working cameras and several staff around him, and started to make breakfast on his own.

  The millet porridge was served one by one, and I took a few cucumbers, and fried two vegetarian dishes...

   Simple and healthy breakfast is ready.

  Han Xiao and the others all came up to help serve the meals...

Zhou Wen sat down to eat the ready-made ones, and said with emotion on his face: "To be honest, I sincerely hope that you guys can become my resident guests here, so I can just enjoy it every day. The days when I open my mouth for meals are really exciting. I like it. Especially Wang Cheng's craftsmanship, I can't even eat it in a five-star hotel, so I really earned it."

  Wang Cheng smiled lightly and ate slowly.

  Han Xiao, Wen Yixiao, Zhu Ziqi, and An Keru all blushed slightly, and secretly glanced at Wang Cheng.

  If possible, they are of course willing to stay and become the resident guests of this show with Wang Cheng, and they will live here with Wang Cheng for a long time, getting along day and night...

  Unfortunately, they all know that this is impossible.

   Even if they can convince the company behind it, even if Shonan Satellite TV is willing to pay the money, Rubik's Cube Entertainment behind Wang Cheng will not be willing.

  Wang Cheng himself?

  Wang Cheng himself didn't care about these.

  Looking at Wang Cheng who was eating quietly, none of them spoke.

   After eating, Han Xiao and the others scrambled to clean up the dishes again.

  Wang Cheng walked towards a set of tools that he had discovered earlier - fishing gear, checked it a little, then picked it up and walked out, towards the fish pond not far away.

   Zhou Wen asked curiously: "Wang Cheng, why are you going?"

  Wang Cheng: "Fishing!"

   Zhou Wen was speechless.

  This fishing gear is mostly for display, he has basically never used it, and neither have other guests.

   After all, none of them have the leisure and time to go fishing!

   But Wang Cheng really has leisure time and wants to go fishing.

   Zhang Huizhong and Li Chi from the program group were also speechless.

   Li Chi asked in a low voice: "Is this Wang Cheng really a nineteen-year-old boy? With these hobbies and living habits, no one will doubt that he is a sixty-year-old retired cadre."

  Zhang Huizhong was also full of emotion: "That's right, maybe it's such a contradiction, that's why he attracts fans so much!"

  The others were speechless, but they had automatically carried the camera and followed Wang Cheng to the fish pond.

  Wang Cheng came to the fish pond, put down the small bench he brought, and fixed the fishing rod and line very familiarly, adjusted the fish, and officially started fishing.

  Sit quietly on the small bench, hold the book in one hand, and take a sip from the thermos cup in the other, then glance at the fishing rod, and continue reading!

   Such a quiet and harmonious picture.

  Even Han Xiao, Wen Yixiao, Zhu Ziqi, An Keru, and Zhou Wen who rushed over couldn't be bothered. They all seemed redundant.

  Suddenly, the fishing rod moved.

Wang Cheng put down the book slowly, then picked up the fishing rod and began to reel in the line. After two strokes, he collected a palm-sized fish and threw it into the bucket next to him. Then he put the bait on again, and skillfully Throw it out, wash your hands, wipe it clean, sit down and take a sip of water from the thermos, then pick up the book and start reading.

One morning…

   That's it.
