People will always regret the decisions they just made.
For example, Chen Chen, after receiving the shares he bought from iHQ, has been confirmed to be the largest shareholder of Cube Entertainment. Combining his status in the industry and popular support, he can control Hong Kong at any time. The boss stepped down and became the president himself.
But what is running through Chen Chen’s mind right now is: What’s the use of cube entertainment?
He really couldn't think of it, or rather, the benefits he came up with were too childish and couldn't be explained.
However, after a serious conversation with the head of iHQ, Chen Chen at least knew that he could do something like splitting up Cube Entertainment and selling it to repay C Headquarters.
In the same way, he can do the same to the starship.
Chen Chen didn't dare to say that he had never had such an idea before, but that idea had never been as mature as it is now.
I had previous contact with Hybe’s Bang Si-hyuk to help the idea sprout and grow, and now I have in-depth discussions with iHQ’s Jung Hoon-joo to shape the plan.
If it comes to a situation where he has to do it, Chen Chen really doesn't mind being a butcher and getting his colleagues' blood stained on his body.
……
"The sky is falling? The big tycoon who is stirring up trouble in the industry actually came to me to drink milk tea. Is there any trap waiting for me behind?"
Lin Yoona came as invited, but no matter her expression or body, The language only showed vigilance.
"It's because I'm bored." Chen Chen waved his hand to her as a greeting, "Everyone around him has his own things to do, and they don't even have time to talk to me."
"I am a person who has a hard time enduring loneliness, so I randomly picked someone to pass the time with me among the people I liked." Chen Chen took a sip. Mouth milk tea, "You should feel lucky to have chosen you like this, right?"
"Then you told me earlier that you were too idle. It scared me so much that I had to report it to my agent and the company twice. Dare to come out!" Lin Yoona wanted to laugh when she thought about the company's reaction, "Okay now, the company is probably busy analyzing what you want to do with me."
"But why don't you find Sunny Ernie?" Lin Yuner stroked the hair beside her ear, "She has more free time than me."
"I have to be able to shout at her too." Chen Chen said in words She couldn't help but feel disgusted, "Suddenly asking a home girl who has been doing nothing for a long time to go out, wouldn't she feel that the sky is falling?!"
"That makes sense!" Lin Yoona couldn't help but laugh out loud, "If it were you tell her If you ask her to come out and play, Sunny Ernie will definitely pretend that she didn’t see it.”
“Why don’t you try it now?” Lin Yoona encouraged: “Send her a text message and see if she can’t read it or can’t read it back! Bundle The otaku went out."
"It's okay, it would be more fun if the three of us came out to chat." Chen Chen glanced at Yuner, "It can also save you from a scandal."
"No, I don't care at all about the scandal with President Chen Da." Lin Yuner looked extremely generous at this time, "If nothing else, spreading a scandal will at least get me a few role offers in the industry, which is a good thing. ”
Chen Chen glanced at her with disgust, said nothing, and concentrated on sending a text message to Li Shungui.
"What are your two great actors busy with?"
Lin Yoona saw Chen Chen put down his phone and took the initiative to stir up the topic.
“I don’t know.”
Chen Chen replied.
“Huh?”
Lin Yoona was a little confused and couldn’t help but poke her head forward.
“I really don’t know.” Chen Chen spread his hands, “The company has only one task for them now, which is to make money.”
“They all have their own studios, doing It’s up to the studio to decide how to make money, and I don’t care.”
"But I also have the meaning of being out of sight and out of mind. After all, they will not be able to get any good roles during this period. I can't see my artists picking up the garbage themselves."
"No. , under the current situation, it is better to say that if you can get the role That’s it! Don’t care if it’s good or bad, the most important thing is to be able to film, broadcast, and make money!”
“Oh, yes, the big actors you mentioned are Suzy and Seohyun! Are you two?"
Chen Chen only thought of confirming this.
“It’s them.”
Lin Yuner nodded her head.
"I really don't know about Seohyun. After she finished filming the movie, I let her do whatever she wanted." Chen Chen gave different directions for the two of them, "As for Suzy, she should hook up with tvn. I'm filming a TV series, and I haven't been idle since the filming of the movie."
"It's great. As expected of an artist from a big company, I can't even take time off if I want to."
Lin Yuner held up. Chin, a hint of sadness appeared on his face.
“Look, what you’re saying is human, aren’t you yourself an artist from a big company?” Chen Chen couldn’t hold himself back any longer, “Don’t say that in your mind, C Headquarters has surpassed Fool’s Company. , I don’t believe it myself.”
"I have nothing to do myself, why don't you let me complain about the company?" Lin Yuner stuck out her tongue cutely, "Just for a moment, it'll be okay."
"But how can you, Lin Yuner, do that? Nothing to do? "Chen Chen He raised his eyebrows and said, "It's not just the film and television resources that matter, right?"
"Now that I've reached my position, is there any other room for improvement besides film and television resources?" Lin Yoona sighed and said very Reality, "I would rather He wants to be extravagant, but the South Korean market is destined to find it difficult for our artists to get favored by top brands.” If the company can learn from you, it can also improve the style of its own artists."
"It's a pity that other companies want to make money. If a good brand can offer the right price, no company can resist. Pick up.”
"Except for the wealthy C headquarters."
South Korea is a market that is destined to find it difficult for high-end luxury brands to set their sights here. It is small and has limited people with the ability to spend. Brands may invest here. It will only lower your own style.
Therefore, the status of South Korean artists in front of brands is the lower group, which also leads to South Korean artists always looking very licky in front of foreign brands.
“Do you really think that Integrate’s refusal to accept endorsements is because I don’t want to accept it?”
Chen Chen looked confused.
"Isn't it? With the influence of C Headquarters and Integrate, the top resources that idols have access to should have been beckoning to you long ago. If you weren't unwilling to accept it, I can't think of any other reasons."
Lin Yuner was even more confused than Chen Chen, and her voice became louder.
But her doubts were feigned. She immediately regained her calm expression and started talking, as if chatting with her best friend.
“I really think it’s good of you to do this.”
“You don’t have to keep pretending to hide your purpose. People in the circle can understand it. It’s out of consideration that I didn’t talk to you. Your face doesn’t want to expose you.”
"Integrate has inherited your influence and has a certain influence in South Korea, Europe, America, and China. This kind of role is particularly preferred by brands." "And your choice allows girls to transform your influence. In order to increase one's own influence, it also enhances the brand's preference."
"If you are not in contact with the world, you will keep elevating your status, as if you can't eat the fireworks of the world. Just like Ran Xianchen, the artist’s image is rising every day.”
“Then when the time comes, I will take over a big brand that can match it, so that the brand will have face with you.”
< br>“I have hired spokespersons that other brands could not hire, and the brand has gained face!”
"What the artists say is that Integrate only accepts big brands and only big brands! It is very respectable to fans and is also very good for girls. It will also help other brands to come to them later."
“I realize you are really a genius.” Lin Yoona sipped the milk tea in one gulp. Guang, "You can hold it back and you can strike hard enough! My friends who are company executives or friends who are well-connected in the industry all think your move is too powerful."
"..."< br>
Chen Chen was speechless, mainly because Lin Yoona's speech made him confused, as if he really thought so.
With all conscience, Chen Chen just felt that the money given by the other party was too little!
Chen Chen wanted to get the lower prices offered by brands to Chinese artists, but the brands were only willing to offer slightly higher prices than those of South Korean artists. Brothers who often receive international high-end luxury endorsements all know how big the gap is.
Then Chen Chen definitely didn’t want to, so he kept putting off answering.
Looking at Lin Yoona’s description, it seems that she was right.
"Is what I did obvious?" Chen Chen said to defraud information, "So many people in the circle saw it!"
"Your trick of 'finding a place to live in a strange thing' is another one. It's not a trick I've never seen before, everyone can see it." Lin Yuner snorted and complimented reluctantly, "Of course, no one can use it as well as you."
"First of all, no one can make 'goods' as 'wonderful' as you are. You are an ambassador for epidemic prevention and appear in front of students across the country every day. How close are you to YouTube and TikTok, the two most outstanding video platforms in the world?" Also perfect.”
“Secondly, others are not as able to hold back as you are. Even if your national reputation has reached this level, you still won’t accept a single endorsement. If it had been anyone else, you would have been unable to hold back for more than two hundred.”
“In the end, others don’t have as much capital as you. "Lin Yuner concluded: "Learning from you will easily kill the company!"
"Oh, I thought I was very smart," Chen Chen said with a wry smile on his face, "I didn't expect that all my colleagues were experts. ."
"Not just the same. Yes, the brand actually thinks so." Lin Yoona provided more detailed information, "When I chatted with the brand's sister, she made a lot of remarks about you, and the meaning was exactly what I conveyed. "< br>
"What's the brand's opinion?"
Chen Chen asked eagerly.
“Oh, is it not too much to exchange this information for two cups of milk tea?” Lin Yoona pursed her lips towards the counter, “Go and order the milk tea first, and I will tell you when I get back.”
"Ahem." Chen Chen felt that he had lost his temper just now, so he quickly took out his phone and showed her the text messages while regaining his composure, "When Sunkyu Unni arrives, I'll treat you to a big meal. I'll leave the milk tea for now. It's fine if you drink too much." Not good.”
“Shunkyu Unni is going out!”
Although Lin Yoona had seen the text message with her own eyes, she was still shocked.
"The company sent her to monitor us, saying that it is a critical period after all." Chen Chen was a little confused, "Why don't I know what the critical period is, and what is causing this trouble?"< br>
“Hahaha, it’s about renewing the contract!” Lin Yuner understood it instantly, banging the table and laughing, “The three-year contract to be renewed in 17 years is coming, I’m afraid you’ll abduct me!”
“Shouldn’t the contract have been negotiated long ago? It’s only been a few months.” Chen Chen took a sip of the unfinished milk tea, “Generally speaking, if the negotiation is not completed at this time, then the artist wants to Let’s go.”
“The negotiation is over, but it hasn’t been signed yet. There are variables.” Lin Yuner replied.
"Hiss~" Chen Chen suddenly got goosebumps all over his body and asked seriously: "Then the question is, are you coming?"
"No." Lin Yuner replied lightly.
"Okay." Chen Chen did not feel dissatisfied and immediately changed the topic, "Let's talk about the brand side."
"The brand side, which is confident in itself, is gearing up and plans to contact I'll give it to you when it's your time Come on, the unconfident brand owner didn’t say anything, he just complained about you.” Lin Yoona spread her hands, “I’m done, I’m going to eat Aolong later!”
“ I’ll order three for you!”
Chen Chen directly doubled up. The information Yoona brought today was definitely more than this little value.
He, Chen, doesn’t have much contact with the brand, and it is difficult to see other people’s perspectives. Yoona was a big help.
“…”
After chatting for a while, the person who had been waiting for a long time arrived.
“Hey, Boss Chen.” Lee Soon Kyu appeared on the stage wearing a peaked cap and very disgraceful clothes. “Are you talking about acquiring Yoona or buying a fool?”
< br>
"I'm talking about you." Chen Chen leaned back and said eloquently: "I haven't signed it yet anyway, how about signing it with me?"
"I can't sign it." Li Shunguila Opening a chair and sitting down, "I'm just here to eat, and protect our contracted artists."
"Yes, it just means eating." Chen Chen stood up, "Let's go, don't sit down, let's go directly to eat."
"Let's decide on a good place to eat first. It was quite hard for me to come all the way." Li Shunkyu's butt seemed to have roots on the chair, "I think we can find a cheaper one. Boss Chen should be out of money now."
"Where did you get this news?" Chen Chen was stunned for a moment.
"I heard what he said when I was having dinner with my uncle." Li Shunkyu said with a smile: "You, President Chen Da, are always the topic at family gatherings. After all, our family has a close relationship with the entertainment industry."
My father used to work in an entertainment company, and my uncle was President Li of the Silly Hat Company. It would be strange if they couldn't talk about Chen Chen, a man of great influence, at their family dinner.
"Unnie, Teacher Li Xiuman guessed wrong." Lin Yoona raised three fingers, "He wants to treat us to eat Australian dragons, three for each person."
Suddenly it became three for each person. It’s just that Lin Yoona is actually a shameless person.
“Yes, three for one person, it’s more expensive to eat today!”
Chen Chen didn't care about whether he spent money or not. The information he got today made him very happy.
“No financial pressure?!” Lee Soon Kyu couldn’t sit still in his chair. “Is it that you can’t even get 30% of Cube Entertainment’s shares in a short period of time without forcing you to be strapped for funds?”
"Shh~" Chen Chen made a quiet gesture, "Don't spread this news. I'm waiting for people who think the same way to take action against me."
