"Aren't you going out to play today?"
Shirley came back from her lunch break and continued working, and was surprised to find Chen Chen sitting in the office.
“Why are we going out to play?” Chen Chen couldn’t help but sigh, “Six Australian dragons in half a day, what kind of family can support me like this?!”
“But yesterday was not a harvest. It's great. At least I know your current image in the eyes of the brand." Shirley laughed as she spoke, "I thought you were pretending to be stupid at first, but I didn't expect you really didn't know how to do it. Dealing with the brand!”
In the morning, Chen Chen told Shirley what happened yesterday. She wanted to laugh at that time but held it back for the sake of the boss. Now Chen Chen mentioned it again. Then she naturally laughed unbridled.
"Because I only established contact with the brand after I became the boss. I really don't understand what artists think and how ordinary people view brand signings."
Chen Chen did not quibble. , just stated the issue fairly and objectively.
"So do you want to brush up on relevant knowledge?" Shirley looked at Chen Chen with a smile, "I have asked Zhiyan to sort out the information. You can just read the information today, and you won't have to go out and spend money. Money."
"That's okay." Chen Chen had no objection, "Then I'll stay in the company to read the information today."
Although it's not a good idea to stay in the company to read the information. Choice, but it’s too expensive to go out.
"By the way, please take a look at Integrate's data. It's been two or three days since the return. You, an oppa, didn't even ask a question. It's a good thing that the girls called you oppa." Shirley retweeted one more time. He came over with a copy of the information and said, "I don't know why you have to wait until a week to read it. Others read it once a day."
"I think all the fans who are willing to spend money in a week have already spent it. At this time, you can see the real data given by core fans." Chen Chen explained: "From one week to one month, that is the time for less core fans to spend money. The data after one month is new. Pink data.”
“Do you have any scientific basis for saying that?”
Shirley asked, somewhat convinced.
Chen Chen shook his head.
"No, I guessed it myself."
"..."
Shirley was speechless and immersed herself in work and stopped talking.
Chen Chen, who had no one to talk to, felt bored, so he concentrated on reading the information.
“Dingle bell~”
The phone rang suddenly. The beautiful assistant had new news to convey.
"Chairman Li of the Silly Hat Company has asked you to meet. He is available from this afternoon to this evening."
OK, now I have something to do.
Although he didn’t know what Li Xiuman was looking for, Chen Chen felt that it would definitely be more interesting than reading the information on his own.
Sulli is busy dealing with a series of tasks brought about by the return of Integrate, Li Zhien is filming a movie, Bae Zhuhyun is not to mention either on the stage or on the way to travel, and Chen Chen has no one to accompany him. It’s time to play, otherwise I wouldn’t have wanted to go out and chat with Aolong yesterday.
To explain, after yesterday, Lin Yoona changed her name to Aolong in Chen Chen's heart.
"In the afternoon." Chen Chen replied to the phone: "Make an appointment for me at a time when older guys are prone to dozing off."
"Teacher Li Xiuman is looking for you?"< br>
When Shirley heard this, she almost guessed who was on the other side.
There are not many people in the entire Korean entertainment industry who can make Chen Chen prepare for such a sinister move.
"Well, he said he wanted to talk to me." Chen Chen replied.
“What are we talking about?” Shirley was very curious, “Is there anything good to talk about between C Headquarters and Foolish Company?”
“That’s what I want to ask too.” Chen Chen frowned She raised her eyebrows and said, "The relationship between C Headquarters and Idiot is still a matter of variety shows. It's not like they want to film a third season, right?"
"Definitely not." Shirley ruled out this possibility, " Except for us, only TV stations with deep pockets can film large-scale variety shows at this time. You idiot has been spending a lot of money recently, so I’m afraid I won’t be able to film them.” It's all clear." Chen Chen actually didn't care very much, "You, Teacher Li Xiuman, are not a threat to me now. We are both people who only want to make a fortune."
"Do you think it's possible that our teacher Li Xiuman asked you to show your favor?"
Shirley suddenly had an idea and thought of something.
"Please show me your respect. I have something to offer. Oh, maybe it's true." Chen Chen successfully thought of it after some prompting, "The new girl group is about to start preparations for the announcement, he thought. Confirm my attitude."
"What is your attitude?"
Shirley asked curiously, this question was too difficult to bear.
"It depends on the sincerity of your teacher Li Xiuman." Chen Chen crossed his arms happily, "My attitude can change at any time."
The momentum of Integrate's return is super exaggerated, as if it has really become the main attraction This kind of response from the market can only be found in the fantasy of the song "Fairytale".
To describe it simply, Integrate has become the daughter of South Koreans in the women's group. The favor they receive from the South Korean public is even more exaggerated than IU on another track.
Not to mention overseas, Integrate has always been the eldest princess of the C headquarters, and has well inherited the authority passed down by Chen Chen.
With such an opponent, the Silly Hat Company has to test the attitude of the C headquarters before announcing the new team.
Fortunately, the relationship between the two families has always been good, and they can talk a lot.
......
"Good afternoon~"
"I really have no intention of poaching the remaining members of your Girls' Generation. You don't need to come to me specifically to confirm. Once again.”
Chen Chen joked all the way to sit down opposite Li Xiuman, feeling as comfortable going to his office as going home.
"I believe in our artists. If they promise to renew their contract with the company, they will definitely renew their contract."
Li Xiuman took his time and gave Chen Chen hot tea. In this hottest day of summer, There is also time for hot tea, as if this is how hospitality should be.
"Then you specially invited me here?"
Chen Chen deliberately pretended to be confused, and doubts almost appeared in his eyes.
"I'm here to learn from you. I want to ask how we can make our new girl group as outstanding as Integrate." Lee Soo Man took out the information with a gentle smile, "The first time without adding water. Selling 400,000 albums per day, this is an achievement that can only be achieved by a top-tier girl group making two comebacks.”
"The growth rate of MV playback is even more exaggerated. The record of the fastest 100 million playbacks must be yours." "The stage direct shooting data is also perfect. The direct shooting data released on the 16th exceeded 100 the next day. Wan, this is really like people.”
“Of course, it’s a bit uncomfortable in the eyes of the idiot company. One of the pen-and-mortar cameras with good data belongs to Kim Min-hyang. We missed her."
"..."
Li Xiuman read the data almost unhurriedly, which made Chen Chen, who had not planned to read the Integrate return data now, be distracted. Forced to know everything.
"Keep talking." Chen Chen picked his ears, "Aren't you going to mention the sound source performance?"
"The sound source performance of the girl group of Silly Hat Company has never been bad, so I won't mention the sound source performance. ." Li Xiuman seemed to be here to ask for advice, and said sincerely, "This is not an area we need to ask for advice on."
"I understand." Chen Chen put on airs, "So what do you want to ask for. Content, if I have any experience to impart, there will be absolutely no secrets.”
“The issue of publicity,” Li Xiuman’s hint was obvious, “and how to avoid strong direct competitors.”< br>
“Are you kidding me?” Chen Chen narrowed his eyes, “All entertainment companies in the industry have been communicating with each other. Avoiding opponents can be done by just collecting information casually.”
"As for Xuanfa. The idiot has been in the idol circle for so many years. Xuanfa is already invincible in the circle. How could he be reduced to the point where he wants to ask me for advice?"
"I believe the opinions of the outside world. You should have heard it before."
"If Integrate is a group of idiot companies, they must be the number one among the new generation. Now, we have to wait and see."
"Excuse me. ." Chen Chen smacked his lips, "Where did such remarks come from? "
There are always traces of online speeches. Follow the traces, and a skilled hunter can trace them back to the top. source.
Idiot has started building momentum for the new girl group a long time ago. It is obvious that this statement was spread by itself in order to consume the company's image and pave the way for the new girl group.
It is the consistently strong image of idol groups launched by Fool’s Company that gives this statement a foothold, “That’s right, that’s a girl group from Fool’s family, the upper limit is very exaggerated, maybe they can beat Integrate . ”
This kind of statement will naturally accumulate a certain number of fans for the new girl group, and this kind of statement is taken for granted by everyone, which requires the company to operate its own brand for many years. The has been very good.
"Speech on the Internet has always been free. No one knows where the source is. Maybe everyone has expectations for the idiot company?" Lee Soo Man still looked gentle, "But the idiot knows it himself and knows the company. C Headquarters is one step behind in embracing the trend of the new era, so we are studying hard today.”
“…”
Chen Chen suddenly felt a huge sense of powerlessness in his heart. How could a person be so diplomatic? I've given you so little face, twice, how can you continue to keep a low profile? !
But from Lee Soo Man's perspective, his low profile is necessary.
Integrate’s comeback only took three days from the announcement to the stage. Regardless of whether Chen Chen meant to intimidate or not, he had to consider whether his new girl group might be messed with in this way.
The front foot announces its return, and the back foot Integrate hits you like a rocket at full speed, and then gives you a three-day announcement to announce the return of the hair belt. Who can bear this?
You have to be even more careful when it comes to publicity.
Although the relationship between C Headquarters and TikTok is not that close on the surface, everyone here knows the inside story. Everyone knows how much face Chen Chen has. If he really wants to target you, even gods will be hard-pressed to save him. Gotta come back.
It’s not that Li Xiuman is willing to be manipulated by Chen Chen, the main reason is that idols nowadays really can’t live without TikTok.
“C Department will compile an internal information on Integrate’s recent planned operations and hand it over to Fool’s Company, which includes specific data on TikTok and YouTube operations.”
“I’ll tell you more. There is nothing I can do to help.”
Chen Chen thought about it for a long time and planned to give Li Xiuman some face and give him something useful but not that useful.
Knowing that the silly new girl group will be one of Integrate's strongest opponents recently, if you still let them go, it would be no different from being an enemy. Chen Chen will not do such stupid things.
If you say you want to snipe the stupid new girl group together with Soy Sauce Bottle, then you have to snipe them, and you have to keep your word.
“Thank you.”
Li Xiuman nodded without saying anything more, as if he had already planned for this situation.
"Boss Chen, have you paid attention to BigHit's recent trends?" Li Xiuman talked about another topic, "They are the only ones who can compete with the C headquarters recently."
"There is attention, but not much." Chen Chen changed his attitude, "Do you have anything you would like to give me some advice?"
Chairman Li's performance at a disadvantage earned Chen Chen's respect, and he couldn't talk about this topic. He can also give guidance, so Chen naturally wants to put his own position below others.
“Acquired P Agency, collaborated with CJ on the men’s team talent show, and now we are preparing to go public.” Lee Soo Man said with a smile: “These are all big industry events, you must have heard them all.”< br>
"Yes, I heard it." Chen Chen put away his cynicism and said seriously: "I thought that the C headquarters was developing fast enough, but I didn't expect that it still fell behind BigHit. This makes me feel two-fold. I haven’t had a good night’s sleep.”
“No, you are in the lead now.” Li Xiuman shook his head, “BigHit got P Club, and you got Cube Entertainment. The value is on your side. Complete victory.”
Complete victory? Chen Chen was a little afraid to say such things.
Chen Chen can ignore other things in P Club, but there is absolutely no way for SEVENTEEN to be invisible.
Only behind BTS, this evaluation alone is enough to show the value of SEVENTEEN.
"What do you want to express?" Chen Chen's face became serious, "I suddenly felt a little tired when we talked about BigHit. Let's skip the twists and turns and go straight to the topic!"
"I want to I want to ask for your opinion." Li Xiuman told the truth, "BigHit will go public when it goes public. How much benefit can we get from buying his shares?"
"I don't know, but it's big." Chen Chen didn't hide it. "If C headquarters has the opportunity to buy BigHit stocks, I will buy as much as I can."
"I understand." Li Xiuman's eyes floated. , "Then why is President Chen so optimistic about BigHit?"
"First, BTS's value has not been fully demonstrated." Chen Chen held out three fingers, "Second, Bang Si Hyuk is still the best in South Korea. One of the operators of the entertainment company. "
"The third and most important point." Chen Chen took a breath here and said: "BigHit is closely connected with the top chaebols."
"Where did you get the news?" Li Xiuman pushed up his glasses and asked.
Chen Chen really wanted to say "the future", but unfortunately he couldn't.
But it doesn’t matter, Chen Chen has a more convincing answer.
"Feeling, intuition, and personal experience. Only by personal experience can you understand the trajectory of BigHit's recent actions." Chen Chen nodded to himself, "Because there are top chaebols behind me. Although it is not a South Korean company, my two colleagues gave me a thumbs up The super chaebols shouldn't be wronged by the chaebols in South Korea, right?"
"Not wronged, definitely not wronged." Li Xiuman already believed it 80%, then he approached Chen Chen and lowered his voice and said, "Just watch it grow. ?”
