This Star Doesn’t Work Overtime

Chapter 521 519. Publish a novel by Wang Cheng? How should writers in the literary world respond?

Wang Cheng didn’t sign in!

 Instead, he lost his trump card...

At this time, Yu Jinghong really realized what the contrast was. She looked at Wen Yixiao and was a little confused. It took more than ten seconds to calm down. She thought quickly in her mind and said: "Then are you sure you will give up everything to follow Wang Cheng?" , can you get Wang Cheng? What if you still don’t get Wang Cheng in the future? Then you have lost everything!"

"And it may not just be you. That Xia Xi just now, as well as An Keru, Zhu Ziqi, Han Xiao and others, may all come together to compete with you... Are you sure you want to live that kind of life?"

There was no more hesitation in Wen Yixiao's eyes, only a firm look, and she said in a deep voice: "I said, I am willing to do anything for him. Even if he does not choose me in his life. I am willing to accompany him. Even if I lose him I won’t regret anything! Sister Hong, if I can’t see him in the future, I won’t be able to live.”

Wen Yixiao fantasized a little bit. If Wang Cheng retired in the future and she didn't follow him, and she couldn't see Wang Cheng, she would feel heartache that she couldn't breathe.

 So, even if she gave up everything and followed Wang Cheng and still had nothing in the end, she was willing.

 Because, even then, if she could see Wang Cheng often, it would make her feel better.

after all!

Having liked Wang Cheng for so long, what can she do if Wang Cheng is gone? Can I still live with other people?

 It’s impossible!

 So, she knew that the only choice in her heart was to follow Wang Cheng to the end of the world.

Yu Jinghong looked pale, and after being silent for a while again, she said: "Yixiao, there is still a long time. Think about it carefully. Don't make a decision in a hurry. Moreover, Wang Cheng only said this now, maybe he doesn't think so either. What about determination? After all, he is only twenty years old, can he really let go of this prosperous world and the fame and fortune that is so easy to come by, and live a retired life? Maybe, by then, he will agree to us and sign a contract with us? "

 Wen Yixiao said nothing.

Because she knew that what Yu Jinghong said at this time was just self-deception and self-comfort.

 Based on her understanding of Wang Cheng.

 As Wang Cheng said just now, he never jokes or lies.

 What is said will be done.

Furthermore, she also knew that Wang Cheng's living situation had been similar to that of a retired veteran cadre.

 So, she understands that Wang Cheng wants to live a retired life.

Now that Wang Cheng is at home, isn't his daily life similar to retirement?

It's just that Wen Yixiao himself hasn't made plans to retire yet, nor does he have that kind of mentality.

 So, at this moment, she began to think about how to retire, what she would do after retirement, and how to get closer to Wang Cheng.

If Wang Cheng chooses a place with beautiful scenery to retire, then she must first consider learning to cook, do housework, and exercise some physical fitness. Otherwise, she will not be able to take care of herself by then. She can't retire and live in seclusion and have to take care of a few assistants and nannies, right?

 So, retirement is not as easy as most people say.

 An ordinary young man living in the city, even if he has financial freedom, will not go to the mountains to live a retirement life, because life has too many inconveniences and there are too many things that need to be done by oneself.

 So, what Wen Yixiao is actually looking forward to is that Wang Cheng can live here after he retires, which would be the best.

She doesn't need to change places, she has always lived here as a neighbor with Wang Cheng. She makes time to eat with Wang Cheng every day, go out for walks and chat together.

 …

Early the next morning, Yu Jinghong called Lei Zhenzong!

Lei Zhenzong hadn't gone to work yet and was still having breakfast at home. When he received a call from Yu Jinghong, he quickly asked: "It's so early, is there something urgent?"

Yu Jinghong said quickly: "Yes, Mr. Lei. About Wen Yixiao."

Lei Zhenzong also felt a twitch in his heart: "What's wrong with Wen Yixiao?"

Now, Wen Yixiao is the core figure in Penguin Entertainment’s future development plan.

Yu Jinghong said directly without giving away: "Wen Yixiao came back from Wang Cheng yesterday and heard about Wang Cheng's retirement plan. She also made it clear that she would retire with Wang Cheng. She would go wherever Wang Cheng goes. I persuaded her For more than an hour, she didn’t listen to me.”

“Mr. Lei, I feel that Wen Yixiao may be serious and really wants to leave with Wang Cheng!”

Lei Zhenzong stood up in shock: "Why? She still has a two-year contract with us, can't she just leave?"

Yu Jinghong smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Lei, our contract with her is not very binding. Can we really hold her responsible for breach of contract?"

Lei Zhenzong had no choice but to remain silent.

Wen Yixiao is not an ordinary person. The Wen family is also a giant in the south. Its influence and secret power are no worse than those of the Penguin Group behind him.

Even if Wen Yixiao fails to fulfill the contract, he will really have nothing to do with the other party.

 Because, at most, they will just pay you the liquidated damages. With Wen Yixiao's own net worth and earning power, there is no problem in paying the liquidated damages, let alone Wen Yixiao's family.

so!

Lei Zhenzong knew that if Wen Yixiao really wanted to leave, there was really nothing Penguin Entertainment could do.

But…

Why?

Lei Zhenzong felt that he could not understand the world.

one by one…

 You are only in your early twenties and your career is at its peak, but you already want to retire?

Nowadays young people have such a high level of thinking, right? Everyone knows that the rapids have retreated?

 He is still working hard even at his age, accumulating more heritage for future generations!

Retire at the age of twenty-two. Even if you live seventy years, you still have nearly fifty years left. What will you do with such a long time?

Lei Zhenzong was confused and didn't know what to say for a moment. He could only say: "Did she make any request?"

Let’s first determine whether Wen Yixiao is waiting for an opportunity to make a request...

Yu Jinghong: "No, she just said firmly that she would retire with Wang Cheng. She didn't have any other requirements."

 Lei Zhenzong: "How long does Wang Cheng's contract last?"

Yu Jinghong: "One year! In other words, we may only be able to cooperate with Wen Yixiao for one more year."

 Lei Zhenzong was silent again.

Without Wen Yixiao, Penguin Entertainment's future development goals will definitely be lowered a lot. For the entertainment industry, a super popular pillar is more important than the rest of the company combined.

This is also the reason why many entertainment companies cast a wide net and frantically sign many young children to train trainees. They sign hundreds of trainees. As long as one of them becomes popular, they can make a lot of money.

Although Du Wei, a member of Penguin Entertainment, is also a new superstar, his popularity is far less than that of Wen Yixiao.

"Hey! You can stabilize Wen Yixiao first, and I'll go to the company to convene a meeting with the senior management to discuss countermeasures."

 Lei Zhenzong also expressed helplessness about this. If people are determined to retire, there is nothing they can do.

 After all, Wen Yixiao is not Wang Cheng, and he is not as paranoid as Wang Cheng, who has to wait until the contract is completed before leaving.

Wen Yixiao just wants to follow Wang Cheng wholeheartedly, so she can leave at any time!

hang up the phone.

Lei Zhenzong felt tired and wanted to retire so that he wouldn't have to worry about so many troubles.

If Penguin Entertainment has not made further progress in his hands in recent years, but has declined, then he really might as well retire now.

 …

 And the news that Wang Cheng is retiring cannot be concealed at all!

 Qin Yuhai and Shen Shenghui got the news quickly, and many other people who followed Wang Cheng, such as An Keru, Han Xiao, Zhu Ziqi, Lin Mi, etc. also got the news quickly.

Qin Yuhai called Shen Shenghui to the office.

As soon as Shen Shenghui came in, he saw Qin Yuhai sitting there with a pensive face, and said softly: "I called Xia Xi, and she said that Wang Cheng did definitely tell Yu Jinghong that he would retire when the contract is over! Refuse! The terms of the contract signed by Yu Jinghong on behalf of Penguin Group!"

Qin Yuhai nodded: "I already know it from within the Penguin Group. Wang Cheng's charm is really strong. Many senior executives of the Penguin Group have become crazy fans, and they even offered Wang Cheng incredible conditions. Penguin Entertainment Baidu 20% of the shares, Penguin Video and Penguin Music, each 10% of the shares, are given to Wang Cheng, and the contract is for more than ten years. In addition, Wang Cheng is given a large signing bonus every year, and the share is also 90%. For one share, they only need 10% of Wang Cheng’s income, and the copyright will naturally belong to Wang Cheng personally.”

“This is equivalent to giving Wang Cheng a large sum of shares and money for free.”

 Qin Yuhai compared the conditions of this contract with the conditions he had originally offered, and felt that his Rubik's Cube Entertainment was indeed not as valuable as the other party's shares.

  After all, Rubik's Cube Entertainment's market value has soared after Wang Cheng joined, and its current value is relatively fictitious, while Penguin Entertainment's market value is low because of the strong rise of Rubik's Cube Entertainment.

 So, comparing the two, the value of Penguin Entertainment, Penguin Video, and Penguin Music is definitely higher.

if it is possible…

Qin Yuhai is willing to use his Rubik's Cube Entertainment in exchange for these three shares, so he can retire directly.

 Unfortunately, he knew that Penguin Group would not agree.

 It is absolutely impossible for others to intervene in the ecological chain of Penguin Group in the entertainment industry.

 Only a super genius like Wang Cheng, who has conquered all the top leaders of the Penguin Group, can make them lose their minds.

 Shen Shenghui was stunned when he heard this. Is this condition something a normal person can make? Are all the top executives of Penguin Group controlled by Wang Cheng?

but…

 What made him even more speechless was that he knew that in the end, Wang Cheng also rejected the contract.

Reality is simply more magical than in movies and TV shows.

　　Movies and TV dramas also need logic. Reality does not require logic. Anything can happen.

Shen Shenghui knew that the shares promised by Penguin Group would be worth at least 100 billion in the future, so Wang Cheng rejected them.

It shows that Wang Cheng is definitely not an ordinary person.

However, Shen Shenghui can still accept Wang Cheng a little bit. After all, he has seen Wang Cheng make many decisions that he couldn't understand. There is nothing wrong with one more decision. He can only say that this is Wang Cheng.

However, he couldn't understand the Penguin Group's senior executives rushing to give Wang Cheng shares and money for free.

Shen Shenghui came to his senses and asked, "Mr. Qin, what do we need to do? Wang Cheng's contract has less than a year left!"

Qin Yuhai leaned back on his chair and said softly: "Wang Cheng has made it clear that he will retire, which is actually a good thing for us!"

Shen Shenghui nodded: "Yes, at least you don't have to worry about Wang Cheng being poached by other competitors, so that no one can get Wang Cheng. However, we once had Wang Cheng, and we can also use Wang Cheng's legacy of influence and popularity, so We still have a little bit of an advantage.”

Qin Yuhai's tone became more relaxed and he nodded: "Yes, that's the truth! What I have always been most worried about is that Wang Cheng will be poached by Penguin Entertainment. Then no one will be able to stop Penguin Entertainment, and the entire Chinese entertainment industry will Be ruled by them!"

 Shen Shenghui also had a flash of worry in his eyes.

Penguin Entertainment is backed by Penguin Group and relies on the entire ecological industry chain of Penguin Video and Penguin Music. It is basically self-sufficient. It needs traffic, popularity, channels, and money.

It already has two newcomers, Wen Yixiao and Du Wei. The future development of Penguin Entertainment is definitely worth looking forward to. If Wang Cheng is added to the mix, then several other major entertainment groups may need to join forces to fight against Penguin Entertainment.

 Now we have received definite news that Wang Cheng will not join any party and will retire at the end of the contract. This is good news for Qin Yuhai.

Wang Cheng is confirmed to retire, so it is impossible for Qin Yuhai to sign Wang Cheng again, but no one else can sign Wang Cheng, so this is good news that is not good news.

Hum buzz buzz…

Shen Shenghui's phone rang. Seeing that it was Xia Xi, he quickly answered the call and said in a gentle tone: "Xia Xi, what's the matter?"

Qin Yuhai also looked expectant. Both of them knew that Xia Xi would never take the initiative to contact them. The only reason for contacting them could only be Wang Cheng!

 What request did Wang Cheng make?

Xia Xi's voice came over the phone: "Director Shen, does Rubik's Cube Entertainment have a publishing business?"

Shen Shenghui immediately said: "Of course! We have a publishing house under our own banner, and we also cooperate with several of the largest publishing houses in the country. We can promote any book to the country at any time. Xia Xi, if you ask this, is it true? What's the need? Who wants to publish books?"

 Qin Yuhai stared at Shen Shenghui's mobile phone slightly, thinking in his heart, is Wang Cheng going to publish?

Xia Xi's voice came again on the phone: "It's a book by Wang Cheng. He wrote a book himself. After reading it, I thought it was very good. I asked him if he could publish it, and he said it didn't matter! I just thought about it. , helped him publish it, so that everyone can see his works, so that they will not be buried."

 A book written by Wang Cheng…

 Shen Shenghui and Qin Yuhai heard this, and their thoughts turned out to be true!

 Wang Cheng also wrote a book...

What else can Wang Cheng not do?

 The previous ancient poetry, as well as modern poetry, as well as calligraphy, parallel prose, etc., all crushed all literati in ancient and modern times.

 Some novel authors have come forward and feel that they are the only literary group that has not been defeated by Wang Cheng!

 It can be done now.

If Wang Cheng writes a novel and it is published, how should these novel writers respond?
