This is what Chen Chen thought. When there was news about BigHit's new girl group, C Department pulled out the prototype of the new girl group to put pressure on BigHit. Then when BigHit's girl group debuted first, C Department directly asked Integrate to crush them.
That's right, Chen Chen just wants Integrate to crush the new Dahei group. No matter what the composition is, he can ensure his victory.
A head-on confrontation between the new group and the new group?
This is not a pure joke. Why spend all that effort? You don’t have to let them get rusty if you leave the top combat forces at home, right? !
Besides, Chen Chen doesn't necessarily want the new group from C Headquarters to debut in 2021. It might be later.
The main thing is to look at the composition of Dahei’s new girl group.
Under normal circumstances, the girl group launched by Daikoku first would be called LESSERAFIM. It is a mixed group of old and new girls with Sakura Miyawaki in a relatively core position.
But now due to Chen Chen's interference, the situation has become abnormal. Sakura Miyawaki Sakura is currently shining in Integrate, and there is no way she will appear in Daikoku's LESSERAFIM again.
Ah, it may not be accurate to say that LESSERAFIM is Dahei. A more accurate statement would be SOURCEMUSIC.
But the relationship between the two companies has been clarified by Chen Chen. In fact, they are the same, and it doesn't matter how they are called.
There is a saying that it should be the girl group NewJeans. They take advantage of Dahei's resources and enjoy the company's benefits, but they are not familiar with the company and are not your people.
The topic is a bit skewed, let’s continue talking about the composition of the members.
Miyawaki Sakura's absence means that LESSERAFIM will 100% undergo personnel changes. There may be new people who Chen Chen doesn't know about to fill the vacancy, or unexpected acquaintances may suddenly appear
In addition, the oppression from C Headquarters forced Dahei to change the direction of launching a girl group. There must be changes in the timeline and development cycle.
There's nothing to talk about here in the timeline. Isn't Dahei almost forced to release a new girl group a year in advance?
The main thing is that there is nothing that can be done. Entertainment companies that are capable of competing in the girl group market cannot just watch Integrate swallow up all the market share. In that case, other entertainment companies will have no chance to succeed in the girl group market in the next few years and suffer losses. Too big!
Changes in the development cycle are also related to the C part.
If you want to compete with Integrate for the market, you can't set up a group with a long development cycle. Look at this stupid company, isn't it forcing aespa to come out and compete for the market? It's the same if it's Dahei.
In other words, there will be no particularly young members in Dahei’s new girl group. To put it bluntly, LESSERAFIM’s Hong Eun Chae is gone.
There are many restrictions for members who are not old enough to be artists in South Korea. A person who is restricted in every aspect is put into the group. To be honest, it affects the overall development of the group.
It was not a group with a large number of people to begin with, but now that Chen Chen has influenced it and cut off two places, LESSERAFIM can no longer be the original Chi.
However, this is still not important. What is important is whether the members added by LESSERAFIM will be members of NewJeans in the future.
If so, Chen Chen feels that he can pop the champagne now. Even if NewJeans, which is short of players, can still get a lot of help from 250, it will be difficult to reach its original heights, let alone compete with Integrate.
Speaking of 250, this stage name that cannot come from China at first glance hides a very powerful producer. He is the No. A composer and arranger.
It would be great if we could bring this producer over and use it for the C headquarters. Unfortunately, he seems to have followed Ms. Min to Dahei, so it will be difficult to pry him off.
No matter what, if Dahei really uses NewJeans members to fill the member vacancies of LESSERAFIM as Chen Chen wants, no one as a producer can save Dahei.
……
Later, Hyuna called.
I didn’t have much to talk about with HyunA, basically just talking about the show.
HyunA is surprisingly easy to talk to. Her tone and attitude are not as arrogant as she is on stage, but she feels a little softer.
Moreover, HyunA not only had no resistance to reuniting with 4minute, she even expressed her expectation, saying that she would plan her schedule carefully first and complete her comeback.
HyunA said that she will release a mini album in January next year and will not have much schedule during her comeback period. She can start preparing for the filming of the program directly from the comeback period, which will also be beneficial to the program and the other members of 4minute.
Chen Chen didn't say anything, he just silently recorded in his heart and kept making various judgments.
"By the way, Speaker Fang also asked me to inform you of something." Hyuna smiled and mentioned another place, "He said that he originally planned to call you, but you suddenly made arrangements for him. Two tasks, and then he forgot what he was supposed to tell you.”
"Hahaha, this happens sometimes." Chen Chen didn't pay much attention, "What does Speaker Fang want to inform me about?"
"I seem to have invited you to a small meeting to discuss changing the name of the company." HyunA replied: "The name BigHit is no longer suitable for this behemoth. Chairman Fang plans to hold a small meeting to change the name and then This decision will be announced at next year’s general meeting of shareholders.”
"Understood, you can ask Chairman Fang to inform me when he decides on a good date." Chen Chen agreed casually, "Although I may not make any suggestions, it will definitely not be a problem to go and witness it."
It wasn’t a big deal originally, and seeing BigHit change its name to Hybe is quite meaningful, especially for those who work in the Korean entertainment industry.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Chen officially began to consider forming a program production team.
……
"Are you looking for me?"
Kim Tae-ho was nervous when he received a notice from MBC TV station asking him to go to C Headquarters. Now when he arrived at C Headquarters, he saw the most powerful person, President Chen Dae, and his pants almost became loose.
"I have something to do with you." Chen Chen raised his finger and gestured for him to sit down, and asked: "Are you busy recently?"
"It's okay." Jin Taehao nervously put his hand on his pants and rubbed it, "The last project of "What are you doing with your spare time" did not do well. Recently, it has entered a period of calm and I am studying new projects."
< br>
"That's it." After confirming that Jin Taihao had time, Chen Chen went straight to the topic, "Headquarters C has a long-term project that he plans to entrust to you. I wonder if you are interested in taking it up."
"No problem, I'm willing to take it!"
Jin Taihao's decisive answer almost made Chen Chen think that he was hallucinating.
At the same time, Chen Chen was a little curious in his heart, how many times did Shirley have to do it to beat Jin Taehao like this?
In my impression, the SSAK3 project is one of the best projects in "What Are You Doing?". It's no problem. First, the project was rated as "mediocre" in the final judgment, and then Kim Tae-ho was beaten so groveling, Chen Chen became more and more I want to know what Shirley has done.
"Don't worry, at least listen to what the show is about first." Chen Chen smiled gently, "There must be a reason why I picked the golden PD here. You have to listen to the reason and make an accurate judgment. OK.”
"Okay." Jin Taehao awkwardly gave a flattering reason, "It's fine to just take over the project of the C headquarters. The difference is just making a lot of money and making a lot of money. Because there has been such a saying in the industry. , so I seemed a little more anxious. "Let's talk about the show!"
Jin Taehao took two deep breaths and returned to his normal expression.
"..."
After listening to Chen Chen explain the general structure of the program, Jin Taihao completely understood the program and knew that he would never be able to escape.
I even told you about the establishment of a new label and the label’s follow-up plans. Now you say you don’t want to do it and want to run away? Jin Taehao didn't dare to think about what he would experience next!
"The content of the program is not too complicated. It is basically a variation of the two famous special episodes of "Infinite Challenge". I am confident that I can do it well." Kim Tae-ho first gave this explanation, and then hesitated, "It's just."
"You don't need to take care of the follow-up operations, and you can't." Chen Chen directly relieved him of his worries, "How to fix the program and develop it into a business in reality is the job of the C headquarters and the new label. ”
"The only thing you need to worry about is how to name the program." Chen Chen added: "We plan to find something similar based on the name of the program as the name of the new label."
"Ah" Jin Taihao felt a little contrary to Tiangang, but he didn't dare to say, "this"
The program must be named according to the label. How can a label accommodate a program? Isn't that funny!
"How about naming it after a certain grocery store?" Jin Taihao tentatively suggested, "The guests are all passers-by, and only the store that provides help has remained standing in the show. It is very appropriate to use this store as the name of the show. .”
"When you decide, just inform me of your name." Chen Chen skipped to the next topic without making any comments, "What are your plans as a host?"
"A fixed host, and then added at any time according to the number of guests and program needs." Kim Tae-ho replied: "This is a better program model."
"In addition, the candidate for the store owner must also be determined. This is one of the core of the program."
Kim Tae-ho's professionalism on the show is undoubted, and everything he talks about is very critical.
"I have already made a choice between the permanent host and the store owner. You can make other preparations now." Chen Chen stopped talking about the show here, "In terms of remuneration."
"What's the highest remuneration the production team you hired has received?" Chen Chen asked.
"It depends on the size of the production team. When there are many people."
Jin Taihao was about to answer, but was interrupted by Chen Chen's temporary intervention.
"Forget it, you can write a detailed report to me later and I can verify the authenticity." Chen Chen smiled and threw the problem over, "Judging from your many years of experience, our grocery store program can be successful." What kind of ratings results? ”
"This is mainly related to the guests. If the guests are liked by everyone on the show, they will get relatively high ratings." Kim Tae-ho answered honestly, "Of course, if the guests are not suitable for our show, it will be a bit troublesome. ”
"Just give me a number." Chen Chen showed strength, "You can judge this number yourself, and then you can make it a little higher."
"..."
Jin Taihao didn't dare to speak anymore. His brain quickly thought based on various conditions and must come up with an appropriate ratings number.
"Three o'clock." Jin Taehao said the answer he calculated, "The result I gave is three o'clock."
"Idols are already weak, and the effect of being on the show is much worse than that of other artists. The influence of the C department is still included in three points."
"The long-term plan launched by the new label of C headquarters is worth one point of ratings, MBC TV station and my production team are worth one point of ratings, and the guest host is worth one point of ratings. This is the whole source of the three points."
"The area further up is uncontrollable, but there is a lot of room for falling down."
"For example, traditional TV is becoming increasingly weak, and young people who like idols cannot control the TV at home to contribute to ratings, etc."
"So I think the three-point rating is an appropriate number." Kim Tae-ho held out three fingers, as if he was swearing, "Making it a constant goal can give the production team something to look forward to, and it can also make the program's performance justified. As for being chopped off.”
"Are the host guests underpaid here?"
Chen Chen had no doubts about the number three o'clock, but he had some doubts about it.
"There are not many host guests who can beat the ratings." Kim Tae-ho reluctantly pointed out the current situation of the industry, "The reason why Yoo Jae-seok has a high salary and no shortage of programs is because his name is worth at least two to three points in the ratings. Others are far less able to do this.”
"Understood, then let's anchor the production team's salary to three points of ratings." Chen Chen stretched out a slap, "If it is below three points, it will be paid normally. For every one point above, I will give you a fifty percent increase." Is this kind of reward system satisfactory for PD? ”
"Very satisfied! So satisfied!"
Jin Taehao almost jumped up.
After getting excited, Jin Taehao scratched his head in embarrassment and asked, "I just don't know whether to count only integers or decimal points."
"Take 0.1 as the whole number." Chen Chen gave a reassuring answer.
"Thank you, Boss Chen." Jin Taihao took a deep breath and promised: "I will organize the information as soon as possible after I return, and will also recruit a suitable production team as soon as possible. Just wait for my good news!"
"There's no rush, as long as the production team can be brought together in mid-January." Chen Chen changed the time, "It's still a bit early, and the C headquarters still has corresponding work to complete."
"When you go back, complete the program plan in written form. All information about the program including the name must also be completed."
"This needs to be done in advance, because it is related to what I have to do here." Chen Chen joked at the end, "Even if you get the production team up in advance, I won't pay you in advance, so don't be like that Fast.”
"Understood, everything is up to you." Jin Taihao has already thought further, "I just don't know who we will hand over to the needs of the program in the future. I can't report to you every time, right?"
"We'll leave this for later." Chen Chen pressed the button for now, "A dedicated person will contact you after the new label is established."
This person will most likely be Goo Hara. After Sulli goes there as the top leader of the new label, Hara, who follows her there, will take over such a job.
The first big project of the new label, it’s not bad, it’s a good experience.
