"You called me out just to force you to kiss me?"
Pei Zhuhyun took two steps back, her big eyes blinking there.
“It’s just a matter of course, aren’t you very cooperative?” Chen Chen took his girlfriend into his arms again, wrapped them together and walked forward slowly, “There’s nothing special about me asking you out. The purpose is just to change my mood by walking outdoors."
"Have you changed now?" Pei Zhuxuan asked.
"Change, from being confused and unable to muster motivation to now I want to ask what's going on inside the company." Chen Chen chuckled, "The action of the soy sauce bottle must have had a great impact on aespa's operations. , come and give me some inside information, honey.”
"There's no news, at least there's nothing here." It's not that Pei Zhuxuan didn't tell Chen Chen, it's that she really didn't know.
"I don't expect you to have any news, I'm just asking you casually." Chen Chen raised his head and glanced at the moon in the sky, "If I really want to get news, I will naturally use my news channels in Shamao. "
"Do you still have information channels in Shamao Company?" Pei Zhuxuan asked curiously.
"Not long after I entered the production studio, the news spread. There must be someone else's eyeliner in C Department." Chen Chen smacked his lips, "Tsk, if C Department can have someone else's eyeliner, then why Other entertainment companies cannot Is there someone who is an informant in our C headquarters?”
“And everyone can see the development of C headquarters. It’s not surprising that people from other entertainment companies who plan to join me in the future are secretly communicating with me. ?”
"In the entertainment industry, news is the least valuable." Chen Chen did a little popular science, "What is valuable are the various details and progress bars."
"..."
" Okay, let's not talk about this." Chen Chen looked at his girlfriend who looked thoughtful but confused and stopped talking about this topic, "Are you guys quite free at the end of this year?"
"MM A and MAMA can’t go without winning an award, and now there’s no return, basically the only remaining event is the Gayo Daejeon.” Bae Zhuhyun shrugged cutely, “I haven’t had such a leisurely life in a long time.” br>
“Don’t talk nonsense!” Chen Chen quickly told her to stop, “When people talk about their leisure time, they often have to go to work, which is very dangerous!”
"What kind of job can there be?" Pei Zhuxuan made a rare joke, "The company won't call us over for a meeting tomorrow and say that we are suddenly preparing to return?"
"This is really unlikely. There is no fool now. I can give you the resources to eat. The best resources are all with aespa." Chen Chen said the idiot's dilemma, "But if I don't give you the resources to eat, I will. I’m going to be scolded again. After all, you are the leader of a stupid girl group.”
“Let the company do whatever you want.” Pei Zhuxuan didn’t think too much, “The new group should give more food to the newcomers. A little bit, otherwise it will be too difficult to gain a foothold in this circle."
"When do you think our return will be?" Bae Zhuxun asked more.
"After the family concert?" Chen Chen casually threw out a time point, "If there are no other special events, this time is the most suitable."
"You already have news about the family concert?" Pei Zhuxuan said in surprise: "Even I don't know!"
"Yes, I already have it here." Chen Chen raised his eyebrows proudly , "As long as there is a general scope for this kind of thing that is bound to happen, it can be said that it will be done at the beginning of next year. I will make a return to you after it is completed."< br>
“After the comeback is completed, it’s almost time for your members to have their solos.”
“There’s no other meaning, and it’s not directly related. It’s just that the years are up and the time is up.”< br>
“Next year will be the seventh year. If it weren’t for some default rules, it would be time for you to negotiate a contract.”
"This is what fools do all the time. It's like following a formula and doing things according to the time." Chen Chen briefly pointed out the way fools operate. "I gave you the first solo, and the second solo may have to be renewed." It’s time, and it’s there as a bargaining chip for contract renewal.”
“You have studied our company so deeply.” Pei Zhuxuan. Pretending to be angry, he said angrily: "Have you been staring at us?!"
"Yes, you are right, I have been paying attention to the Silly Hat Company." Chen Chen replied: "In the end At the beginning, I took it as a role model and wanted to be an entertainment company like it."
"What happened later?"
Bae Zhuhyun asked.
"Later, I just felt that the Silly Hat Company was disgusting. It was packed and calculated from head to toe." Chen Chen didn't know how to express himself at this time, so he simply kept a straight face, "The most sincere company in the whole company treats people like artists, and the purest view of their works. The people who work there are the employees who work in the production and recording studios, and the others are mostly jokes."
"Oh~that makes sense~" Bae Zhuhyun deliberately lengthened his tone. , "But judging from your tone, there will be new opinions later, right? Is it about the present?"
"Yes." Chen Chen nodded, "Now I understand the Silly Hat Company and this circle. You have to play like a stupid company."
Use good works to build a foundation, turn artists into products, polish their signs, and then bear all the dark sides.
I used to think that Idiot went too far and did too many bad things. He even had a sense of never getting tired of doing bad things, unlike a decent big company.
This shocked Chen Chen a little, because few people really brought their conspiracies to the surface.
Now Chen Chen understands that in this entertainment industry where any stain will be infinitely magnified, if you want to bloom a flawless and beautiful lotus flower on your face, you have to swallow all the filth in your stomach.
On this point, Waiji does very poorly, but this may be related to the fact that Waiji has never been corrected. From the beginning to the future that Chen Chen saw, he had to doubt whether Waiji was really an entertainment company. He suspected that something quite dark was using Waiji's shell to do bad things.
There is also Hybe, which is also very poor at this point.
Hybe is not crooked at all, it is a serious business company. Its problem is that it does less bad things. If it does more bad things and solves the things that need to be dealt with privately and violently, there will be farce later.
"What are you going to do?" Pei Zhuxuan nudged Chen Chen twice with her elbow. "Since you think the company's approach is correct, will you continue to learn?"
"If you don't learn, everyone will The specific situation of the company is different, so just learn It's not good." Chen Chen smiled and shook his head, "Besides, if it's right, I have to learn it. There's never been such a truth in this world."
"What do you mean?" >
Bae Zhuhyun didn’t understand a little bit.
"It means, I know it is right, but I will not learn how to do it." Chen Chen explained: "Rather than maximizing interests, I want to choose my own character that is not yet absolutely mature. The decision you want to make.”
"It's called willfulness, right?" Pei Zhuxuan naturally understood this and even gave some advice, "It's good. You have the capital to be willful. You don't have to choose the most correct path or choose something else. It’s okay to take a look at the scenery.”
“But that being said, you still do the bad things you should do.” Pei Zhuxuan teased: “I think you just have a fever in your head at night. The sexual side has taken over, feel free to complain!"
"Hahahaha, it's really possible!" Chen Chen laughed and let go of his girlfriend, "It's getting late, let's go home. Rest, everyone is very busy tomorrow.”
…The matter of contacting JayPark and the band Hyukoh was naturally left to the assistant Jiyan.
Although Park Jae-bum is a respectable boss of aomg, little things like aomg shouldn't put on airs in front of the C headquarters. There is no need to put on airs or anything like that.
In addition, the entire circle now knows about Zhiyan's temporary appointment as Chen Chen's assistant, and the specifications are actually enough.
About Zhiyan as an assistant
At the beginning, everyone was quite shocked that Zhiyan from the Royal Crown Group would actually work as an assistant for others, not even a regular employee but a part-time job.
But after hearing the remuneration offered by Chen Chen, everyone could only feel envious.
Can you not be envious of the remuneration guaranteed for two TV series? ! You have to know how many artists in South Korea will never get the script of two TV series in their lifetime, 70% upwards, just a lot more!
If it weren’t for the fact that the C headquarters didn’t plan to hire another artist assistant now, the artists who came to sign up for interviews would have to pass the threshold of the C headquarters!
After Jiyan contacted both parties, President Chen Da met with the artists from both parties at the C headquarters in the evening and explained the situation.
Uh, I brought people over with great fanfare just to let them sing a demo
When Chen Chen went to talk, he realized that what he was doing seemed a bit unethical, but he couldn't back down at this time. You can only bite the bullet and do it.
However, the reactions of Park Jae-bum and Wu Hyuk were somewhat unexpected by Chen Chen. They agreed readily and did not even mention the idea of adding any additional conditions to the bargain.
"This is a work you wrote for a famous overseas game company. It is our honor to help sing the demo."
The reason is this. Anyway, Chen Chen can't tell if they are Sincerely.
On the afternoon of the second day after the meeting, Chen Chen received a message from Park Jaebum, which was very efficient.
Hyukoh is a band after all, so it needs to be late at night.
Chen Chen was also happy that they were late, after all, this way he could be lazy for two days openly.
......
"Integrate is going to release the song "Good4U", do you have any instructions?"
While immersed in her work, Shirley suddenly asked, Chen Chen, who was playing with his cell phone, felt guilty for a while.
"Is it time to release "Good4U" yet?" Chen Chen felt dazed for a while, "November is going to pass so soon!"
"Aespa debuted on the 17th and developed steadily for a week until the 24th. Then Soy Sauce Bottle took action and fought for three days. It will be the 27th." Shirley directly calculated the time for Chen Chen based on her schedule, " It takes you two days to write the song and find someone, and it takes another day to receive the dry sound today. This is not the 30th. What is this?”
“Yes!” Shirley squinted: “If there is no thirty-one day in November, it will be over!”
“Time has passed! It was so fast!" Chen Chen sighed again, then nodded to Shirley and pressed the OK button. "I have nothing to say about "Good4U". Just release and play songs normally."
"Okay, then I will send the message to President Kim." Sulli said after sending the message Expressing his own doubts, "Is it too short to only play songs for a week? This is a formal British "We are too busy at the end of the year, and the girls have a lot of shows to prepare for," Chen Chen gave his reason, "In addition, this year is also a year of rampant epidemic, and everyone is very tired. Let’s not bother people with this unimportant English single.”
"Hmph, you do feel sorry for them." Shirley snorted, "Which entertainment company in South Korea pampers idols like you do? Girls like you will get into trouble sooner or later!"
"You don't even have a decent body. If you haven’t memorized all the endorsements, there is no chance of getting into trouble,” Chen Chen said. There was a sudden pause here, and then he slowly exhaled, "The girls must have endorsements next year. If you have time, you can also take the trouble to help choose."
"What's so good about this? "?" Shirley didn't care, "This world has long put all kinds of brands into It’s divided into three, six, and nine grades. We just try our best to choose the highest grade.”
“But why is it next year?” Shirley vaguely caught the key word, “I remember this is not the first time you explained it. It’s a matter of next year.”
“Next year is In. It’s the second year since tegrate’s debut, which is already a very important year.” Chen Chen said calmly, “In addition, Big Hit’s new girl group and the already debuted aespa are eyeing it, so we must not relax.”
< br>
"It's such a lie." Shirley didn't bother to complain about him now. "The time we spend together is almost longer than the time you spend with Irene. How can you still think that I can't tell the truth from lies?"
"Hey~" Chen Chen couldn't help but laugh twice, "Then tell me how true or false what I just said is?"< br>
“It’s true that next year is important for Integrate, but it’s false to worry that other girl groups will catch up.” Sulli said without hesitation: “You have no intention of worrying at all!”
Yes, Chen Chen is not worried at all. All worries are simply pointed to the uncertainty of the future.
If the uncertainty can be eliminated, Chen Chen doesn't think anyone in South Korea can build a more luxurious galactic battleship than Integrate.
"You really see through it." Chen Chen smiled and said firmly: "I plan to bring Integrate to a very terrifying height next year, and then use this height to do something that breaks limits or sets records. ”
“For example?”
Shirley tilted her head in confusion.
“For example.” Chen Chen took two deep breaths and waited until his heartbeat slowed down before he dared to open his mouth. “For example, I want Integrate to cross the wall with the Chinese mainland and try to see if I can become an artist. Do something.”
This was a bit scary, and Shirley didn’t dare to pick it up for a while.
China and South Korea are separated by an invisible but substantial wall in the entertainment industry. Everyone is well aware of its density and quality.
“Can you do it?” Shirley asked.
"I don't know, but you all know that the wall is not completely sealed. From time to time, small cracks will appear." Chen Chen replied.
“But.” Shirley gestured with her hands anxiously, “There has never been such a big gap, and if it is a small gap, we Integrate cannot get through it!”
"Then it depends on my face and Integrate during this period. Accumulated." Chen Chen gritted his teeth as he spoke, "In the past year or so, Integrate has responded to China's epidemic policy faster than China's high-speed rail. After fully understanding the policy, it also published a video on a certain website as soon as possible. Guide the Chinese fans to understand and implement it.”
"I didn't ask them to do this for nothing."
"We have merit."
