If you insist on talking about it, you can say that Chen Chen took the initiative to set a test for Tian Xiaojuan. This test is related to her growth.
Cube Entertainment has become the younger brother of C Headquarters and the person in charge has completely become Boss Hong. (G)I-DLE's environment is completely different from "before".
In other words, Tian Xiaojuan, who seems to be omnipotent, may lose the possibility of evolution due to changes in her environment.
Chen Chen thought that what forced her to evolve was pressure. Since there was no pressure in reality now, he should create some pressure for her.
A little bad, but really for her sake.
……
"President, you are here."
Jin Shishi had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Chen Chen coming over, he stood up and said hello.
"Well, I told you in the message why I called you over." Chen Chen raised his hand to signal him to sit down, and then solemnly put the topic on the table, "Has Integrate started preparing for the concert? ”
"I think we have to wait a little longer." Golden Times indeed has its own considerations, "If Integrate's first concert is just an online concert, everyone will be disappointed."
"But the problem now is that no one knows when the epidemic will be alleviated enough to hold concerts." Chen Chen responded.
In fact, he knew the answer to his question, but he couldn't tell it.
"This is not a problem, as long as you wait until you can hold a concert." Jin Shidai still insisted on his opinion, and even educated Chen Chen, "Human beings are very capable of overcoming difficulties, otherwise they wouldn't be able to hold concerts." It has grown to this point now.”
"Tell me what you think. Maybe you and I understand it differently."
Chen Chen wasn't angry either, he just wanted to hear the operations master's opinion.
"If we want to talk about concerts, we must have a clear concept. They are for making money. Artists, companies, and advertisers are all making money." Golden Age opened the mouth with "outrageous comments", "Don't say why it is to meet fans, it can There are so many ways to meet fans! Giving back to fans is even more nonsense, otherwise why would concert tickets become more and more expensive!”
"Do you think there's anything wrong with what I said?" Jinshijia asked.
"..."
"No problem."
Chen Chen really couldn't refute, after all, there was nothing wrong except what he said.
Even if all commercial activities are excluded, there are still many ways to meet fans and give back to fans. Using concerts to give back to fans is simply a spectacle used to whitewash the ultimate goal.
Oh no, idols may have this idea, but entertainment companies definitely don’t.
Unfortunately, Chen Chen happens to be the head of the entertainment company, and he knows very well that he really doesn't have any consideration for his fans.
"Since it is just to make money, then there is no need for C Headquarters to hold a concert for Integrate, because C Headquarters is not short of money at all." Golden Times continued, "Although I can't see the company's finances, from your various actions It seems that C Department does not need to make money from concerts.”
"Then I was thinking, what is the purpose of you suddenly talking to me about the Integrate concert?"
"After much thought, I made a very bold guess. You probably just think that Integrate has come so far on the idol road and it's time to hold a concert."
"That's not the case. There is no rule that idols must hold concerts after they have come so far." Golden Times went back again, "As I said before, if you want to meet fans, give back to fans, you have to find more ways to improve yourself. The influence of the group has made the group go further, and the concert is not as good as a carefully polished comeback.”
"Let the members focus on preparing for the concert to come back, and let the entertainment company put the resources invested in the concert into creating the album."
"I think, apart from monetary gains, other benefits are higher than holding a concert."
"But this set of real and cruel ideas can only be applied to C Headquarters." Jin Shidai couldn't help but feel envious as he spoke, "Monetary gains are the eternal pursuit of all entertainment companies, but now C Headquarters is There’s really no need to pursue this, I’m so pissed off!”
"Well, after what you said, it seems that Integrate does not have the need to hold a concert." Chen Chen admitted that he was convinced, and also admitted that his idea at the time was too simple, "You are right, I really just think that Integrate has reached its due date. It’s time for a concert.”
"Hahaha, I can finally see a little bit of the confusion that a young boss should have in you!" Jin Shidai laughed loudly, "You don't know how long I have been looking forward to this scene, and I finally got it today. I wish!”
"What do you expect from this scene?"
Chen Chen was a little curious.
"Because this picture can prove that I am not wasting my years in vain. At least the experience I have accumulated is still useful." Jin Shidai sighed and asked: "Are you still planning to hold a concert now?"
"I'm not willing to do anything that only has monetary benefits." Chen Chen shook his head, "As you said, it's better to spend time on planning a perfect comeback. Time is far more valuable than money."
"This is so reasonable and enviable." Jin Shidai had nothing to say. He just gave Chen Chen a look that wanted to leave, "Whenever you need me, you can call me at any time. Starship is always ready to help Integrate." Come back to plan and contribute.”
"Okay, there will be such an opportunity." Chen Chen waved his hand and agreed to his farewell. "Next year is a very important year for Integrate. Starship needs to prepare for at least two returns."
"Wait a minute." Golden Times sat back suddenly, "I can understand the two returns. It is a normal frequency, but where does the saying that next year is a very important year come from?"
"It's okay to say that the second year after debut is a very important year, right?" Chen Chen spread his hands, "The explosive period of idol groups is basically this year."
"I thought you had any special plans." Jin Shiji was a little disappointed.
"There are no special plans." Chen Chen said mysteriously: "The confrontation between the new generation of girl groups next year will be very fierce. I plan to let Integrate run over them all the way to create a very shocking scene for everyone."< br>
"The problem is that Integrate is currently out of the spotlight among the new generation of girl groups, right?" Jin Shidai asked curiously: "What will be different next year?"
"Next year, the new girl group of Silly Hat Company is going to make their debut, and Dahei's new girl group is also going to debut. They will definitely make their debut. Uh, maybe Dahei is going to make a big move." Chen Chen made a gesture in advance. Thumb, "Anyway, the scene of Integrate crushing all the new girl groups of Dahei and Fool must be very exciting and will be remembered by everyone for several years."
"Why do you have to run over others?" Jin Shidai was a little confused.
Chen Chen's answer sounded a little scary when he listened carefully.
"It's fun, isn't it?"
"Of course, you can do whatever you want." Jin Shidai said with a wry smile: "It's just that I'm suddenly glad that Starship chose a boy's group instead of a girl's group."
"How are the preparations for CRAVITY's debut going?" Chen Chen changed the subject and asked about the most critical thing about Starship.
"The preparation was perfect, a perfection I had never dared to imagine before." Golden Times pointed out, "It's just that under this perfection there are still imperfections, that is, the musical works we prepared may be ruined." "It doesn't matter if the work is not perfect, the era of relying on good works to gain popularity has long passed." Chen Chen pretended not to understand, "Nowadays, groups with topics are more popular, and the work only needs to be done." As long as it’s not bad, it will become a huge bonus if it reaches the level of excellence.”
"The current situation is indeed like this, but let's work hard on the right path first." Golden Times kicked a ball over, "The specific debut date of CRAVITY has not been decided yet. It was originally planned to have a meeting to discuss it today, but since You mentioned them, how about setting a date?”
"You guys can go on to the meeting. I'm not good at this stuff." Chen Chen refused directly, "It's better to let me set the date than to throw the dice and decide it yourself."
"Okay, then I'll throw the dice and decide." Jin Shidai made a joke. When he saw that Chen Chen didn't laugh, he changed his expression to a more serious expression and raised a more serious topic, "What do you think of the recently debuted girl groups? How about the upcoming girl group? ”
"You mean STAYC and Aespa?"
When Chen Chen heard the last name, he couldn't help but smacked his mouth, and his expression became subtle.
"Yes." Jin Shijia said: "My point of view is that STAYC is a fairly traditional girl group, while Aespa is a monster with a strange shape."
"You want to say deformed." Chen Chen snorted coldly, "It is indeed deformed. The left half of the body is as strong as the Hulk, but the right side is just in normal shape. It doesn't look right no matter how you look at it."
This is talking about the huge gap in popularity within the Aespa team.
Goun and Lami, two exaggerated members who were already very popular, have also received resource tilt. The popularity of the Aespa team cannot be described as unbalanced at all. They are basically two classes!
"But at least before their debut, they have accumulated a very terrifying popularity." Jin Shidai laughed frivolously, "If the popularity of the other two members explodes after their debut, wouldn't the other members' bodies be normal?"< br>
"The chance of such a thing happening is not even close to zero, but not even one percent." Chen Chen glanced sideways at him, "But anyway, Aespa will debut in the next two days, so we'll just have to wait and see how things develop. .”
"Dingling bell~"
Before Jin Shishi could answer, the phone on Chen Chen's desk rang first.
"Well, okay, I understand." Chen Chen hung up the phone and said to Jinshijia: "The idiot company is here to pay the protection money."
“Actually, it’s quite late.”
……
Farewell to the golden era and welcome Quan Baoer, the gift he got was the KEYEAST shares that the silly company should have cashed in long ago.
"It took a while to decide who would hand over these shares, so I'm sorry that it was a little later than the agreed time."
This is what Quan Baoer said.
It was horribly fake, but Chen Chen chose to give it face and believe it.
"So, as long as I sign this contract, will I get KEYEAST's shares and customization privileges?"
While Chen Chen was replying, he pressed the button and called the assistant over.
“Let our professionals take a look.”
Chen Chen stared at Zhiyan, greeted Baoer, and then handed her the contract.
"Then." Chen Chen turned his attention to Bao'er again, "What does Director Bao'er want to say to me?"
"Begging for peace, no, begging for mercy." Boa replied: "Our new girl group is about to debut. I hope you will show your support."
"The request is not strange." Chen Chen hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, "But why are you here?"
If there is anyone in the company who is the most staunch Lee Soo Man fan, BoA will undoubtedly be in the front row in this ranking.
Aespa is the first work of Representative Director Lee Sung-soo, who has obtained artist management rights. It is also a work that must be successful. If it is to come, it must be done by someone from his side.
Chen Chen didn't believe that this was Li Xiuman's care for his nephew. How could a silly company have such a touching uncle-nephew relationship.
"It's just because I'm also a director of Foolish Company." Bao'er knew what Chen Chen was thinking and explained straight to the point, "Directors have to do things. Of course, things of this level must be left to the directors, and the candidate happens to be me. ”
"Understood." Chen Chen relaxed, "Isn't it a bit too much to ask me to show off with just one mouthful?"
"Aren't there still shares in KEYEAST?" Bao'er clicked on the table to remind him of the things he had just put here.
"That's mine." Chen Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, "Are you sure you didn't deliberately provoke me by asking me to do something with my things? Or are you actually here to cause trouble for the representative director?"
"I just wanted to gamble my luck. The Foolish Hat Company has been in a tight situation recently, so of course I won't give it to you if I can." Bao'er sighed heavily, "I've always known that I can't deceive you, so I just want to try my best. .”
"Okay, let's start the conversation again." Baoer straightened up his manners and said the conditions given by the idiot, "The idiot handed over all the marketing accounts supported by the Chinese market in exchange for the C headquarters to stop targeting South Korea."
< br>
"Temporarily give up the Chinese market and concentrate on doing local things. It's a brilliant decision." Chen Chen nodded without hesitation, "Deal!"
"If C Headquarters can find its own sharks by itself, our layout in the Huaxia Market... Is this a deal?" Bao'er was shocked but also surprised, "The fool will hand over the information to C Headquarters as soon as possible!"
"Well, that's it."
Chen Chen reached out and shook her hand.
By the time Zhiyan returned the KEYEAST contract, the atmosphere between Chen Chen and Baoer had become a normal and harmonious one.
After signing a contract and getting what he deserved, Chen Chen sent Bao'er out of C headquarters with a smile.
It should be said that those heavyweight marketing accounts of idiots in China have been caught and targeted by the C headquarters. Obtaining the entire list is just fishing for small shrimps that have slipped through the net. In addition, it is not special to clean up the marketing accounts of idiots in China. Things that are beneficial.
But Chen Chen just didn't know why he wanted to do this so much that he was so excited when he heard this condition.
"What is this? With great power comes great responsibility?"
"Dude, are you starting to become the police in the Korean entertainment industry? Or are China and South Korea in charge together?"
