"Hahahahaha..."
An excuse he made up at random in a hurry actually made his girlfriend squirm, causing aunties everywhere in the car to laugh, and Chen Chen to sweat a little.
"Your C headquarters only has one Integrate, there's no way you can play like this, right?!" Bae Zhuhyun teased: "You can only form a small team."
"Don't tell me, I really have plans to form a small team." Chen Chen narrowed his eyes, "I want to break up a rock band!"
"You Integrate members who are as beautiful as little princesses, do you want to do rock music?" Bae Zhuhyun started to tremble just after thinking about it, "Stop it, the market can't accept it, it's too evil!"
"It's just an idea." Chen Chen smacked his lips, "Maybe I had too much inspiration when I was writing "Enemy" and I couldn't help but want to do something."
This is true, because "Enemy" was used by the Dream Dragon Band. Chen Chen couldn't help but think of their "Bones" and wanted to use it.
"Did you hand over "Enemy" to Riot?" Bae Zhuhyun asked.
"I handed it in early. It's urgent, so it's not easy to delay." Chen Chen replied.
"It's not easy to delay. When did I see you writing songs for so long?!" Bae Zhuhyun laughed and scolded: "It's just that Riot doesn't know how fast you write songs, otherwise it would never have taken half a month to complete and still praise it. You are so fast!”
"How do you know that the other party praised me for my speed?!" Chen Chen joked.
"Because it's really fast to produce a complete and usable piece of work in half a month." Bae Zhuhyun sighed, "Although I don't do production, I also know that composing may be faster, but It takes a lot of effort to compose a piece of music that is usable and popular.”
"Okay, let's not talk about it." Chen Chen made an ambush in advance, "Remember to notify me when your special project starts. If you have any signs of doing it, let me know."
"It's so early, otherwise I won't notify you until the members are selected." Pei Zhuxuan glanced at Chen Chen, "Also, what do you want to do?!"
"Let's join in and have fun." Chen Chen shrugged, "If C Headquarters can't do it on its own, why don't you let me go to the idiot company to take a look? That won't kill me!"
"You are so curious." Pei Zhuxuan was too lazy to tell him, "Okay, I will let you know as soon as there are signs."
"By the way, will the show start recording soon?"
Bae Zhuhyun himself is also curious about things.
"Well, the script has been written, and filming will start in the middle of this month." Chen Chen looked at his girlfriend, "Do you want to go and see it?"
"Don't watch." Pei Zhuxuan retracted her neck, "The filming process is definitely not as good as the finished product of the show. I will just wait and watch TV."
"Then you ask this." Chen Chen couldn't help but laugh, "I thought you wanted to go over and have fun."
"I'm just curious about what kind of expression they will show when they meet again." Pei Zhuxuan said yearningly, "Will they be happy or tearful?"
"I want both, and I cry with joy." Chen Chen wanted to laugh. "Other people don't know, but HyunA will probably cry. Her personality and her strong style on stage are completely different. In reality, she seems to be a crybaby. .”
"Yeah, I've heard such rumors too." Bae Zhuhyun took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry, is (G)I-DLE coming back?"
"Well, there are still ten days." Chen Chen leaned a little on the backrest, "I don't know what kind of results I can get this time. Anyway, Xiaojuan is under a lot of pressure."
"I feel a headache for her." Bae Zhuhyun also leaned forward, "Obviously she is just the leader of an idol group, why did she suddenly become half a producer?"
"If she has that ability, she can develop it by the way." Chen Chen didn't think it was a big deal. "The internal situation of Cube Entertainment is chaotic. Having this ability can remain unaffected in the chaos. It is good for herself and the team. .”
"The Cube Entertainment matter hasn't been settled yet?" Pei Zhuxuan said in surprise: "I thought you were almost done."
"How to do it? IHQ just wants to survive." Chen Chen said with a bitter smile: "In front of survival, nothing else is important, right?"
"iHQ is also unlucky, but it happened to be chosen by Kakao." Pei Zhuhyun complained: "Don't they know whoever Kakao acquires will be ruined? It is a standard poison in the entertainment industry!"
"It's not like they have a choice."
Chen Chen shook his head and his mind drifted to the Silly Hat Company a few years later.
A few years later, Lee Soo-man left, and the largest shareholder of Silly Hat Company became Kakao, and then he also showed that he was going to be finished.
How can they be so similar?
"Have you made preparations in advance?" Pei Zhuxuan glanced at her boyfriend worriedly, "iHQ within Cube Entertainment, KakaoM within Starship Entertainment."
"Well, I'm a little prepared, but not much, because I only prepared money." Chen Chen licked his mouth, "It's a pity that money is enough to deal with these two."
In terms of momentum, people's hearts, and operations, these two are far behind the C headquarters. The interior has been purged by Hong Shengcheng and Jin Shiji, and now there is no trouble at all.
The only possible problem is to suddenly lose the shares to an opponent who is a threat to C headquarters and let it cause trouble for Chen Chen.
But the chance is slim, and the buyer is not stupid. He bought the shares and came to enjoy the feeling of being stuck by Chen Chen, right? Stupid pig!
Therefore, the most likely operation is to sell to C headquarters at a higher price.
The two parties agreed to sell it at a higher price together, and only sell it for a few days. They will not wait until it expires, forcing C Headquarters to buy it, and directly paralyzing C Headquarters' capital chain will be happy!
The interruption of any company's capital chain is a major event, and C Headquarters is no exception, so the two of them can happily watch Chen Chen get into trouble.
"Just preparing money is enough?" Pei Zhuxuan asked doubtfully: "Why do you say that?"
“Because it’s really just enough to prepare money.”
Chen Chen did not explain in detail, but just gave a general outline.
"Then do you have enough money?" Pei Zhuxuan asked.
"Not enough, far from enough." Chen Chen's expression gradually became serious, "The total funds cannot buy two buildings, let alone fully acquire the shares of Cube Entertainment in the hands of iHQ and the shares of Starship in the hands of KakaoM."< br>
"What should we do?!" Pei Zhuxuan suddenly became nervous, "Lack of money is the biggest problem! How about we stop buying the building first!"
"It's not enough now and it won't be enough in the future." Chen Chen was very calm. "We have to buy the building when we should, and we even have to buy it with a big fanfare to make the other party think we have no money."
"Actually, we do have no money. Headquarters C and I can't even spare a cent. Under the situation in South Korea, it's impossible for banks to approve so many loans at once. If I insist on doing it, the capital chain will definitely be broken. .”
"But who gave us a good life? I happened to save some money elsewhere a few years ago, and now that part of the money has become very valuable."
"This can make up for part of it, and then we can also ask the two shareholders of the C headquarters to buy those shares just by leaking a little bit from under their fingernails. Do we still have to worry about this?"
"Don't worry, I've figured it all out." Chen Chen patted his chest, "As long as it involves money, it's the simplest thing in the world."
"What if the two shareholders of Division C take the opportunity to make some demands on you that you cannot accept?" Pei Zhuxuan was still worried.
"No, I'm a human being." Chen Chen patted her shoulder, "I haven't finished settling the rewards for TikTok sales some time ago."
The money he saved a few years ago was in Bitcoin. From 2018 to 2018, the value has increased five or six times. As long as Chen Chen cashes it in, a large amount of funds will immediately be in his hands.
Then there is the fact that Chen Chen does have favors, and he really has a lot of favors available to him. ……
Go home and get a good night's sleep so you have the energy to deal with a full afternoon of meetings.
"Chen Chen."
There was a tired cry from behind.
"What's wrong? Did I wake you up?"
Chen Chen turned around and saw that Pei Zhuxuan was looking at him with his big eyes.
"Are you going to work?"
Bae Zhuhyun asked.
"Well, we made an appointment with two groups of people to meet at the C headquarters today." Chen Chen replied: "One is the script writer, and the other is a meeting of the program production team."
"I have something to tell you." Pei Zhuxuan grabbed her boyfriend, "If you are not in a hurry, you can wait until I finish talking before leaving."
"Just tell me, don't be in a hurry."
Chen Chen stood still without even looking at the time.
"Do you still remember the program "Sowing Beans You Reap"?" Pei Zhuxuan started with a question.
"Of course I remember." Chen Chen wanted to frown just by mentioning it, "It turned into a farming talent show! It's an eternal pain in my heart, and it shattered all my beautiful fantasies!"
"What's wrong with this show?" Chen Chen immediately asked, "Is there a problem? But even if there is a problem, I won't let you talk about it?"
"It's not a problem, it's the fields used for filming the show." Pei Zhuxuan said a little embarrassed: "The people at home asked you if you have any ideas to expand the land area recently."
"Oh, I understand." Chen Chen said with a smile: "No problem, just tell them that they can give me some space, and the program team will accept it."
After renting the land to the program crew, the family can keep the money for farming while freeing up manpower to do other things to generate income. It is understandable that they want to rent the land to the program crew.
"Is it really okay?" Pei Zhuxuan was even more embarrassed, "You can refuse this. Don't let your identity put you here."
"I have wanted to expand the working area for a long time, but I was just busy and forgot about it!" Chen Chen's vicious expression did not look like his acting, "Okay now, after expanding the working area, I will let you leisurely be young masters and play talent shows. , die to me all!”
"..."
Pei Zhuxuan was speechless for a while, but at least he was sure that Chen Chen was sincere.
"Then thank you." Pei Zhuxuan nodded and said: "The family will also thank you."
"No problem." Chen Chen looked at the time and said, "Is there anything else? If you don't have me, I'll go to C Headquarters."
"Go ahead and be careful on the road."
……
Quan Duen brought her teacher.
"Long time no see." Chen Chen stepped forward to shake hands with Jin Eun-sook, "Writer Jin is here today. He is indeed his beloved disciple."
"Long time no see, President Chen." After saying hello, Jin Enshu glanced at Quan Doen beside her and sighed, "She can already take charge of her own business, and she has proved to everyone that she can, but what she has to face today is, after all, Chen Chenshe of C Department "Chang, I'm not worried."
"There is nothing to worry about. We have cooperated a lot. How can we be worried about our old friends?!" Chen Chen said with a smile: "Haha, let's go in first and we'll talk after we get in."
"The main reason is that she is worried that her youth and arrogance will conflict with you, the big boss." Jin Enshu smiled and said as she walked, "But I am still very grateful to you for choosing her work. This has built up a lot of confidence for her."< br>
Sit down and watch the tea.
""Twenty-Five, Twenty-One" is well written, and Department C wants to take away the copyright."
Chen Chen went straight to the topic.
"I am willing." Quan Duen spoke for the first time, "It is an honor for me to be selected for the script by C Department, and getting your approval is what I look forward to day and night!"
"It's disgusting. This script is an excellent one for anyone who reads it." Chen Chen responded with a smile: "Besides me, someone else should have contacted you and said they wanted to buy the copyright, right?"
"I haven't met them yet." Quan Duen's answer made Chen Chen feel a little embarrassed. "The two elements of campus and youth have become weak in recent years. Unless fashionable elements such as fantasy are added, it will change." To become a script recognized by the public, "Twenty-Five, Twenty-One" obviously cannot do this."
"No, campus and youth have not ended in the film and television industry. Today's society is too impetuous to write about that feeling. We can only cover it up with other fashionable elements to make the story look good." Chen Chen looked at him Firmly, ""Twenty-Five, Twenty-One" doesn't need these. The story and writing are delicate enough. If we work harder on the production, we will definitely be able to produce an award-level TV series!"
"Really?" Quan Du'en looked to Jin Eun-sook for help.
"It's useless to look at me. The C Department of the TV drama industry has the final say now. The man in front of you is the expert." Jin Eunshu covered her mouth and laughed, "Since President Chen values your work so much, then you might as well hand over the copyright to When he goes out, he will definitely deliver an answer that satisfies everyone.”
"C Headquarters has this confidence." Chen Chen nodded and said seriously: "But before that, I have something to say. I hope to make some modifications to the script."
"Where do you want to make changes?" Quan Duen immediately entered a fighting posture.
"Change the ending first." Chen Chen flipped the script to the end, "Although youth often ends in pain, the current environment can no longer tolerate seeing this kind of pain on TV that could not have become pain. Everyone has already It’s been miserable enough to be tortured by reality and the epidemic. I don’t want to experience sadness again while watching TV. At least there must be a good ending.”
"You can rely entirely on your imagination when writing a script, and it should be pure and beautiful. The pain of youth is beautiful, and I have no problem persisting for this beauty."
"But when making a TV series, you have to consider reality. If the market doesn't like it or the reputation is not good, it's all over. We must fully consider the market and compromise with the market with the script."
"This is a compromise that has to be made. After all, the market never listens to anyone."
"..."
Chen Chen made Quan Duen speechless with two words. His expression changed many times but he couldn't say anything.
"As expected of Boss Chen of C Headquarters." Jin Eun-sook spoke up, "Duen, this is advice that can only be given by the best insiders. Just listen to it."
After hearing what the teacher said, Quan Duen made an instant decision.
"So, how to change it?"
