Of course, we will talk about the future later. Focusing only on the future may become too ambitious.
Now what Chen Chen has to do is to quickly produce "Enemy" and hand it over to Riot Games. If it is handed in too late, God knows whether an identical work will appear on the person in charge's desk first, which will be troublesome.
As for the response to Integrate's "Good4U" after it was released, the staff of Universal Music will naturally prepare a summary report and send it to Chen Chen.
Oh yes, Soy Sauce Bottle President Park Jin Young will also talk to Chen Chen about this song, because their GOT7 also released the song on the 30th, which seems to be the regular fourth.
Anyway, no matter what, "Good4U" will have the most authentic news delivered to his door in two weeks. Chen Chen doesn't have to worry about it, so he won't let the people in the C headquarters keep an eye on it.
……
"My schedule for the last month of this year is just to communicate with various people. There is nothing else to do."
Chen Chen looked at the itinerary arranged by Shirley and frowned as if a tractor had plowed through it.
"They are all things that must be done. I have tried to streamline them as much as possible." Shirley forwarded an additional task list and gave Chen Chen a look. "I have actually done the chatting with these people. You want to Everything I do is something I can’t do.”
"It's true." Chen Chen had no objection for a moment, "Thank you for your hard work, we will get it done before the trouble."
"It will definitely be completed years ago. What do you think of the current C headquarters?" Shirley glanced at Chen Chen and said meaningfully: "It's just the specific details of the program currently tentatively titled Idol Shelter. The time is not yet certain, and I don’t have much confidence in the conversation, which is a bit annoying.”
What Shirley wanted to talk to was the management of the agencies where the dispersed members of 4minute worked. If Branch S wanted to launch the show, it would definitely have to coordinate the time of these artists.
Although except for HyunA, these people are quite free, but they can't break the rules at will.
"Then you should first cooperate with the helpers sent by Soy Sauce Bottle to establish the S branch." Chen Chen touched his nose embarrassedly, "I will at least set the time of the program before you go to talk. It doesn’t look good floating in the sky.”
"You can do the time-setting thing later, anyway, communicating with the guest management company is not a hassle." Shirley reminded: "The highest priority now should be the dialogue between you and our C Department actors. This thing cannot be delayed. ”
"Understood, didn't I forget about it for a while?" Chen Chen's embarrassment was real this time. "No one came to remind me. As a result, Xu Xian's contract expired one month ago and he didn't renew it."
The contract Xu Xian signed with C Headquarters at the end of October 2018 has already expired one month later in December 2019.
No one else said anything, but the studio sent out news at the end of October that the contract was expiring. Then he continued to report to C Headquarters like a normal person, and at the same time rejected all the olive branches offered to him, pretending to be loyal to C Headquarters.
It looks a bit cheesy but this is the most correct choice. No entertainment company except C Headquarters would be able to give Xu Xian the resources she had received before.
In addition, there are still very few actors in the C department. As long as Seohyun can successfully renew his contract, he will be ranked below one person. The priority of resource allocation is frighteningly high.
"Holla's artist contract will not be renewed." Chen Chen mentioned the other person, "After it expires in January next year, you can arrange to adjust her contract. What should you do? You two will discuss it and give me a result. That’s it.”
"Okay, that's what we originally thought." Shirley breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you for remembering Ha La. I thought you had forgotten her."
"There are only so many artists in the C department. I can't remember clearly. Then you are looking down on me." Chen Chen hesitated and asked: "Do you think we should cut off an actor department? Now this kind of I don’t think it’s going to work if I’m responsible for all the actors.”
"Of course it is necessary. How can there be a big president to lead the actor section? We are not a specialized actor agency." Shirley was very happy, "And if there is a dedicated actor department, the operation of actor matters will become easier. It’s convenient, it won’t require you to be free like now.”
"If you had cut off an actor department earlier, the number of actors in Department C would have increased a long time ago!" Shirley complained later.
"Haha, at that time, I mainly wanted to take away other people's actor agencies and their agencies, so I didn't rush to do it." Chen Chen added a few words for himself, "Although it's almost done now, the essential gap is still very big. Big.”
"It's not easy." Chen Chen sighed, "It's much more difficult for an actor's agency than an entertainment company that focuses on idols."
"I don't care about that, and I won't listen to your complaints." Shirley covered her ears hard, "This is your job! If you don't listen, don't listen!"
"Okay, I don't need you to listen for the time being." Chen Chen smiled and waved his hand, "I'll call Xu Xian to talk first and listen to her thoughts."
"Don't worry, you can clarify your thoughts before discussing the contract with Xu Xian, so as not to cause any trouble." Shirley suggested: "But now you have to give people a positive signal first. The family has already I have been waiting for a month. It is definitely impossible to wait indefinitely. It would be too embarrassing.”
"I know."
Chen Chen nodded his head.
……
The notification was forwarded to the assistant, who contacted him alone. Chen Chen suddenly felt that there was a little trouble and went through an extra procedure.
However, the final result was not affected, and Xu Xian quickly arrived at the reserved small conference room.
""Private Life" is over. I originally wanted you to rest for two days." Chen Chen poured tea for Xu Xian and spoke as if he didn't know that Xu Xian's contract had expired. "But after thinking about it, I decided to ask I’m asking for your opinion and want to know if you have any preferences for the next TV series.”
"Well, Mr. President," Xu Xian reminded Chen Chen seriously, "my contract with C Department has expired."
"Really?!" Chen Chen was still pretending, and even did some decent calculations, "The contract we signed at the end of October 2018, oh, I'm sorry, that has indeed expired."
"Because the company has been very busy recently, I, the person in charge of actors, have not paid attention to the actors' affairs for a long time." Chen Chen became serious as he spoke, "I formally apologize to you about the contract. I hope you Can you forgive C Department’s mistakes?”
"It's okay!" Xu Xian quickly stood up and hid aside. She didn't dare to accept Chen Chen's apology. "I guess you were too busy and forgot about it, so I have been debating whether to tell you or not for the past two days. A sound.”
"So that's it." Chen Chen motioned her to sit down again, "Then let's talk about contract renewal first?"
"Okay."
Xu Xian nodded his head obediently.
"C Department is planning to establish a formal actor department. My idea is that after the department is established, we will sign this contract in the new department." Chen Chen added an explanation at the end, "I am getting busier and busier, and I can no longer do what I did before. It would be better to have a formal actors’ department to resolve all the actors’ matters alone, at least something as embarrassing as today would not happen.”
"What do you and your studio think about renewing the contract?" Chen Chen asked.
"We are inclined to renew the contract with C Headquarters." Xu Xian did not hesitate. "We feel that the cooperation with C Headquarters has been very pleasant in the past two years and we are willing to continue to get along."
Super straight shot! He directly revealed his willingness to renew the contract without even mentioning the conditions!
Oops, it seems that Seohyun and her studio have been very nervous in the month since there has been no news from C headquarters, and she is very afraid that C headquarters has no idea of renewing the contract. "Then let's do this for now. Let's talk after I get the actors department out in the next few days. I'll also give you a certain amount of time to think about how to write this contract." Chen Chen stood up, "The External C Department will basically say You have reached an agreement to renew the contract, and you can no longer look like you have no news. This is not good.”
"Thank you, Mr. President."
Xu Xian quickly stood up and watched Chen Chen walk out of the conference room.
……
It doesn’t take long to get things done in the casting department, just two or three days is enough.
After all, it was just a framework built so that Chen Chen could stuff people into it to support it in the future. Chen Chen was still the one in charge now.
Successfully renewed the contract with Xu Xian for three years, and then the C headquarters sent out news of the contract renewal, and the matter was almost over.
Xu Xian still didn't mention any special conditions, but just put the salary increase he deserved on the table for Chen Chen to take a look at.
Chen Chen thought there was no problem. As an actor's status rose, the salary he received should have risen. He was not such an unreasonable person, so he felt very comfortable signing the contract.
Then, the big news.
Department C has announced that it is recruiting a director of the Actors Department to be responsible for all aspects of the Actors Department. Experienced managers are welcome to sign up.
This news is not a heavyweight compared to the previous news about Seohyun's contract renewal, and it made the eyes of those in the industry who met the conditions go red.
Everyone knows that the person in charge of actors in Department C was Chen Chen, the president. This is no secret!
Judging from the current situation, if you can become the head of the acting department of C Department, you will almost be one of the top executives of C Department. At least in the actor department, you will be ranked only lower than Chen Chen.
Who doesn’t want this position? ! Some people want it so much that their brains are filled with blood and they faint, okay?
"Just make trouble, don't let there be a wave of resignations in the industry!" Shirley laughed and scolded: "Is this position open to open recruitment? Can you use your brain when doing things?!"
"Of course I know that I need to directly appoint this position, but I have no one to appoint it. There is no such talent in C headquarters." Chen Chen spread his hands, "Then I can't find someone from outside."
"The more people come, the better." Chen Chen said with a bad smile: "The best person will be the director, and the others will take other positions if they are willing, and the actors department will be filled up in no time!"
< br>
"Then more than ten department heads will come to manage the actors you can count in one slap, right?" Shirley rolled her eyes, "You have so many actors, so just start putting leaders in the department!"
"When there are leaders, there are almost actors. Leaders will figure out their own solutions." Chen Chen snorted, "What kind of leader is he if he has no one to take care of? It's super if he can inspire these people to find a few actors for the C headquarters." Great thing! If you recruit more actors, I will give him a promotion!”
"Hey~ Darling, I felt like I had entered a pyramid scheme for a moment." Shirley took a breath of air and trembled a few times, "You can figure it out yourself. Anyway, I don't care about this!"
"No problem, you can continue to prepare for MAMA." Chen Chen patted his butt and prepared to go out, "I made an appointment with the grocery store owner to chat, and this time has passed."
……
The shop owner, who is the boss who provides resources to the guests on the show, was chosen by Chen Chen to be Lee Soon Kyu.
She, a lazy dog, would definitely not want to do it, so Chen Chen was going to convince her.
Although she can be directly pressured by the idiot company to force her to do things she doesn't want to do, that is not good after all. Chen Chen's project is a long-term operation, and it will be very troublesome if the shop owner is unwilling.
"What's the point of asking me out?" Li Shungui sat arrogantly opposite Chen Chen, "In the middle of winter, asking someone to drink the cheapest iced American food at one of the most exclusive cafes in Seoul, your thoughts are really hard to guess. Impenetrable.”
"Isn't it true that all you South Koreans have is iced American style in your blood? Let me give it a try." Chen Chen pushed the glass in front of him to Li Sunkyu, "You can drink it, I don't need it."
"You!"
Li Shunkyu's eyes widened for a moment but she couldn't get angry. Chen Chen slapped her in the face with the plan.
"Take a look." Chen Chen crossed his arms and leaned on the sofa. "If you think it's good, come and help me."
"..."
Li Shungui finished reading the plan of "Love Doudou", and the anger in his heart was instantly filled with doubts.
"Are you really planning to do this?" Li Shunkyu asked doubtfully.
"The plan is here, the S branch is being established, and I have gathered the program production team. I have even found the guests for the first season. How can this be fake?!" Chen Chen snorted. "To be honest, you were the last one I found!"
"That means my position is stable no matter where there are changes!" Li Shunkyu exposed him rudely, "How long have we known each other, how can I still not understand your way of doing things?!"
"Anyway, just tell me if you are willing to help me." Chen Chen emphasized with emphasis: "This is doing a good thing! A great thing!"
"I'm not stupid, I know you are doing good things!" Li Shunkyu bit his lip unconsciously, "I have to think about this, and I have to study this plan carefully."
"Okay, don't worry, I have time for you." Chen Chen did not force her to make a decision immediately, "But since you have already come out to meet the superiors, tell me two things that you are more concerned about, and I will answer your questions on the spot. ”
"How can I find anything that I care about in just a few minutes? It's better to say that I care about the whole project!" Li Shungui glared at Chen Chen, "I care so much!"
"Then let's solve this problem." Chen Chen approached and asked, "Why do you care so much?"
"..."
"In this circle that no longer believes in good people and good deeds, is it possible that people won't care if you suddenly adopt an attitude of doing good things to others?" Li Shunkyu's voice was deafening, "Even if I don't doubt your sincerity, I also have to doubt your ability to ensure that it can be done.”
"It's done, it's a good thing."
"It's not done yet? Have you ever thought about how much harm this will cause to people's hearts?!"
