Chapter 1125 Do it my way
"Writer Kwon Do-eun said that she will be available at any time if you want to see her."
Before Chen Chen could even say a few words to Shirley, new news about Park Zhiyan came through.
"With such a low profile, it seems that my idea of changing the script is quite interesting." Chen Chen scratched his neck and replied: "Then make an appointment with her to meet at the C headquarters tomorrow afternoon."
"You!" Shirley slapped him angrily, "Isn't it too much to raise your posture to the sky when someone lowers their posture a little?!"
There was no problem with the time, but Chen Chen did something unreasonable by setting the location at Headquarters C, his own base camp, which others saw as the Dragon Pond and Tiger's Den.
"That's how it should be. If you quit and I don't advance, wouldn't your quitting be in vain?" Chen Chen was joking, but he became more serious later, "You can lower your profile, but you shouldn't give all the decision-making power to me. The other party, that will only put herself in a particularly disadvantageous situation, so I can give her a memory.”
"Is this writer a newbie?" Shirley asked curiously.
"No, he is a disciple of the famous writer Jin Eun-sook. He has created many works with her." Chen Chen looked at the information and said, "If it is an independent production, last year, oh no, the year before last, there was a movie called "Please enter the search terms: WWW" TV series, broadcast on TVN, with an average rating of four points."
"Wow, in the screenwriting industry, this should be regarded as a famous teacher giving birth to a good apprentice, right?!" Shirley exclaimed: "TVN's four-point ratings are very exaggerated."
"A very powerful writer, it is necessary to have a good relationship." Chen Chen nodded.
"Then you are still treating others so, aren't you afraid that they will be dissatisfied with you?" Shirley rolled her eyes dissatisfied.
"What right does she have to be dissatisfied? I am Chen Chen." Chen Chen snorted, "Wouldn't she feel scared if I was too kind to her?"
"Well, it does."
Shirley finally had nothing to say.
"How much work do you still have on hand?" Chen Chen asked something else.
"I've finished my work. Now I'm just waiting to get home from get off work." Shirley's expression became tense for a moment, "You're not going to arrange a new job for me, are you?!"
"I want you to take the children who are still in the company today to have a meal together." Chen Chen said: "Bring the members of Integrate and the trainees who are coming over."
"Aren't there just a few Chinese members? Why don't you go by yourself?" Shirley was a little confused. "All the South Korean members have gone home for the holidays."
"Let you build a good relationship with them, and I have my own things to do later." Chen Chen replied: "The online family concert of Silly Man is about to end, I'm going to pick up Zhu Hyun."
"What a royal reason." Shirley shook her head, "Okay, I'll do it right away."
……
The journey took a little long, so Chen Chen simply called Lin Nan over to drive.
"Long time no see, Brother Chen."
Lin Nanyi greeted Chen Chen enthusiastically.
"Yes." Chen Chen nodded, "Long time no see, Anan."
"Your contract has expired this year, how about becoming a manager in C headquarters?" Chen Chen said casually.
"I can't be a manager, I don't have that ability." Lin Nan declined politely, "If I can come to C headquarters, I still want to drive for Brother Chen."
"Driving is too wasteful. South Korea is such a big place and there is no need to have a dedicated driver." Chen Chen thought for a while and said, "How about you take care of the trainees? Anyway, you are doing it very smoothly."< br>
"Yes, yes, I have taken care of Integrate. I am indeed very familiar with this job. However," Lin Nanyi glanced at the rearview mirror in confusion, "There shouldn't be any trainees in the C headquarters who need me to take care of them right now, right?"
"Huh?" Chen Chen was even more confused than he was, "Don't you know that C Headquarters has transferred a few female trainees from Starship?"
"I know, how could I not know about the sensational things in the industry." Lin Nan laughed, "Everyone was shocked when the news came out. No one thought that C Headquarters would prepare a new girl group so soon! ”
"Then everyone was frantically looking for information, wanting to know what these girls were like and where they came from. As a result, they discovered even more terrifying things."
"Everyone discovered that although these girls are in Starship, they have always received training from C Headquarters. As for the special group created by Starship, no matter who comes in and out, Brother Chen, these few girls you transferred to C Headquarters A girl has always been in that group.”
"Then everyone knew that they had been deceived by C Headquarters. The new girl group of C Headquarters is a girl group that has been prepared for a long time. If the debut time is pushed back, the training time will only be longer."
"Anyway, it's very lively. The staff of other companies are even a little desperate. When Integrate is still hitting the ceiling, the new girl group has already taken shape. I feel that in the next few years, C Division will still dominate the girl group market."
"But these have nothing to do with me." Lin Nanyi finally talked about himself, "These new girls are preparing to debut, and they have been well-raised and do not need me to take care of them."
< br>
"I asked you to come here because I must have someone new to take care of you. You kid has been chattering for a long time without saying anything useful!" Chen Chen scolded with a smile.
"Are there other trainees in C headquarters?" Lin Nanyi asked in surprise.
"Not yet." Chen Chen said shocking words, "But Anan, C Headquarters is going to start recruiting trainees openly like other entertainment companies."
"Oh my God!" Lin Nan hurriedly grasped the steering wheel to avoid being frightened and said, "Is it true that C Headquarters is going to openly recruit trainees?!"
"Well, after the I branch is completed, we will start recruiting trainees openly." Chen Chen replied: "About half a year later, it will take time to buy a house and decorate it."
"The C headquarters has such a strong sense of oppression." Lin Nanyi sighed: "My colleagues are getting nervous again."
"Stop talking nonsense, do you want to be a manager in Branch I?" Chen Chen scolded: "You can definitely do it well, don't run away!"
"Brother Chen has already said this. If I don't agree, it would be too shameless." Lin Nan nodded, "I will come over as soon as the contract expires."
"Well, that's it." Chen Chen exhaled with satisfaction and instructed: "Turn off the song and I'll make a call."
"Okay Brother Chen."
Lin Nan reached out and turned off the music.
The phone call was made to Golden Times. Chen Chen wanted to talk about Integrate.
"You said."
Golden Age is ready to follow orders.
"The two title songs are ready, and the comeback dates are April 5 and August 22 respectively."
"Starship is fully responsible from announcement to return to follow-up arrangements. Department C will not be involved in any matters, and I will not give any instructions."
"Do you understand?"
Chen Chen's few words made Jin Shidai confused, and he couldn't figure out what he wanted to do.
However, speculation in the deposit era suggests that this may be a test given by Chen Chen to Starship. If Starship performs well, it will be able to fulfill Chen Chen’s promise to hand over Integrate to Starship operations some time ago. If Starship If you don’t perform well.
"The Starship must do its best to do a good job!" Golden Age instantly became serious, "Before that, I have a question that needs to be answered."
"You asked."
Chen Chen responded. "Can Starship use the resources of C Headquarters?" Jin Shiji asked.
"Okay." Chen Chen replied: "Just apply."
"I have nothing more to ask." Jin Shiji took a deep breath and repeated: "Starship will do its best."
"..."
It may seem outrageous to hand over Integrate's most important year to Starship, but in fact this is one of the most correct answers, because Integrate's next two hit songs will be "ELEVEN" and "LOVEDIVE".
During the IVE trilogy period, they were nearly invincible, reaching both group and individual peaks at the same time, reaching incredible heights.
Even if Chen Chen, who has seen it all, is allowed to operate the now extremely powerful C Division, he is not confident that he can push the more powerful Integrate to recreate the glory of that time.
So, let’s temporarily hand over the control rights and let the starship that created that scene take over the control again.
At that time, the starship was backed by the mountain of KakaoM and had inexhaustible resources. Chen Chen now temporarily borrowed the C headquarters from the Golden Age to recreate the conditions of the starship at that time.
A stronger idol group, operators with lighter burdens and better mentality, and supporters with better resources. The graphics created by Integrate will definitely be better-looking.
Chen Chen has other plans for his final return at the end of the year. After the Integrate level is high enough, Chen Chen will personally put on the nine-color crown for them.
In short, no matter which girl group comes this year, they will be crushed into mud at the bottom of the wheel.
As for the arrangement of "AfterLIKE", the third song of the third part of IVE, let's leave it to the new girl group. Let Jin Qiu's stunning visuals make them more popular, and serve as the team's first breakout point to take the new girl group to the next level.
It's not a waste if used this way, at least Chen Chen thinks it's pretty good.
“Will Integrate pursue the upper limit next year?”
After Lin Nan listened to the phone call quietly, he asked quite seriously.
He knew Chen Chen, and he knew that if he wanted to pursue the most correct results, he would be right to listen to Chen Chen. He also knew that once Chen Chen only set the direction and ignored the details, it was time to pursue the upper limit.
"Well, it will be two years since their debut next year, so they have to fly into the sky again." Chen Chen said with a smile: "At least let the new girl groups who debut later look up, otherwise this senior will do something a bit wrong. It’s too much.”
"Does aespa have a chance to touch Integrate, Brother Chen?" Lin Nanyi asked: "They are very popular now, extremely popular."
"How popular is it?" Chen Chen asked: "In your opinion, what level is aespa at now?"
"It's almost the same as ITZY." Lin Nan replied without thinking: "Now they are the only two competing in the women's group market, and the others are more or less inferior."
"The older generation of girl groups are gradually withdrawing from the stage, and only BLACKPINK still looks competitive."
“But with all the bullshit happening every day, BLACKPINK will probably be exhausted in the follow-up, and there should be only one relatively perfect chance left.”
"So now there are almost new groups competing for the female idol market in South Korea." Lin Nan summarized his own statement, "It's very, very powerful that aespa can talk to ITZY together!"
"Well, it would be really awesome if I could stay with ITZY."
Chen Chen didn't say much, just smiled.
……
"Ah, it's Anan, long time no see!"
When Pei Zhuxuan got into the car, she recognized Lin Nanyi at a glance.
“It’s been a long time indeed.”
Lin Nanyi greeted politely.
"Why did you remember to come and pick me up?"
Throwing the bag in the front row, Pei Zhuhyun turned around and started torturing her boyfriend.
"Because everyone seems to be busy on the first day of the new year, I always feel uncomfortable if I don't do anything." Chen Chen told the truth.
"If you leave everything to Shirley, you will definitely have nothing to do." Pei Zhuxuan turned against Tiangang, "When you are free, help Shirley share some work."
"Don't worry, there are so many people in her team, she can't be tired." Chen Chen waved his hand and joked: "She will never be polite to me when she should use me. She has become quite comfortable instructing me to work."
"This is a good way of communication." Pei Zhuxuan suddenly thought of something, "By the way, have you given gifts to everyone? Some people's gifts are better if you give them in person."
"No, I plan to wait until New Year's Eve." Chen Chen replied: "We will operate according to our Chinese Lunar New Year."
"What are you doing?" Pei Zhuhyun was a little speechless, "the people you associate with are all South Koreans. You just accommodate others and follow other people's habits. How can you follow your own."
"Of course I give gifts according to what I want." Chen Chen curled his lips, "Everyone is a recipient of gifts. How can I have the nerve to point fingers at me, a gift giver?!"
< br>
"You can point fingers if you want. The more you talk, the more I will remember you. There will always be a time when we have to settle accounts!" Chen Chen snorted coldly, "Don't let me get into my hands!"
"Come on, come on, don't do all these things on the first day of the new year." Pei Zhuxuan opened Chen Chen's clenched fist, "Then the gifts given to employees by the C headquarters are also yours?"
"Headquarters C is a Chinese company working in South Korea. Of course, we will follow China's rules." Chen Chen was full of confidence. "Just wait and see. I, Mr. Chen, am different from other stingy bosses. The things I give away are definitely generous."
"It doesn't have to be too generous, just about right." Pei Zhuxuan reminded: "If you do it too gorgeously, your colleagues will feel uncomfortable if you can't live with it."
"I know, I will pay attention to the standards." Chen Chen changed the topic, "Do you have an explanation for your return?"
"Early February." Bae Zhuhyun gave the time. "After the team returns, it will be Seungwan and Joo Yi's solo, and then it seems to be a special project of the company."
"Special plan?!"
Chen Chen's pupils shrank suddenly.
The special project here should be that silly company recruiting people from all over the place to create GOTthebeat, a very interesting girl group.
But it was a bit dangerous for Chen Chen, because the work they wanted to use, "StepBack", had been written by Chen Chen a long time ago, and had even been listened to by Li Zhien.
"What's wrong? It seems to be a plan to bring everyone together to have fun. It's not official." Pei Zhuxuan asked doubtfully: "This shouldn't be surprising, right?"
"I'm not surprised." Chen Chen pinched her little face, "I was thinking a little too much for a moment, and I was thinking about whether C headquarters could also make one."
