"How cool, Boss Chen, I want to say that too!"
Shirley felt itchy looking at Chen Chen's response to Minister Ma.
"What's there to say about the simple word 'ke'? Even the pictures and text provided by the system cannot be regarded as formal things." Chen Chen went to the water dispenser and got a glass of water for himself, "If you want to If you send it this way, it’s fine, it’s not my patent.”
"I just seemed to see Boss Chen strategizing the moment I saw your reply." Shirley glanced at him, "Yes, just like this now, holding the cup casually in his hand, leaning against the On the desk, the whole person exudes a gentle atmosphere. ”
"Why do your descriptions make me sound like an old guy?" Chen Chen said dissatisfied: "Or is your imagination of outstanding entrepreneurs only limited to this level?"
"Go away, it's rare that I want to praise you, but I don't appreciate it." Shirley rolled her eyes at him, "So, did Minister Ma go and sign actors for you?"
"Yes." Chen Chen nodded and replied: "There is a big problem with NamooActors. Many actors whose contracts have expired will leave. We will pick out the relatively outstanding ones and arrest them."
"Who is the target of the work now?" Shirley asked curiously.
"Guess what." Chen Chen threw the question back to her.
"I can't guess. I don't know many actors from Namoo Actors, but I can rule out one first." Shirley winked at Chen Chen, "Not Lee Jun-ki."
"Why?" Chen Chen was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why can't he."
"Since Lee Jun-ki and Jeon Hye-bin's internal love affair ended with Jeon Hye-bin leaving Namoo Actors, then Lee Joon-ki's contract renewal with Namoo Actors is a sure thing." Sulli replied: "If we set the target on him, we suggest changing the target as soon as possible. .”
"It's a bit far-fetched, but the probability of this happening is really high." Chen Chen said with a wry smile: "There's no way to say about the love between artists. The results can be big or small, and the impact can be deep or shallow."
"So our target is really Lee Jun-ki?" Shirley couldn't help but get a little excited when she saw Chen Chen's reaction, "It would be great if this famous handsome guy could come to work in the C headquarters. The female employees would definitely be happy. ! ”
"It's just a passing goal. After we discussed it again in private, we felt that he had little chance, so we won't spend too much energy on Lee Jun-ki." Chen Chenxin named two names, "The goal we really want to conquer is Shin Se-kyung is determined to win the title of Kim Hyang-ki.”
"Well" Shirley blinked twice and immediately recalled the two people's information from her head, "Is it a bit difficult? Namoo Actors may not necessarily cast Jin Xiangqi, and Shin Se Kyung is a veteran actor in the company's founding period. It's difficult. One is taller than the other!”
"It's definitely difficult to poach actors normally, but don't forget the premise of what we do." Chen Chen reminded: "The premise is that the actors want to leave NamooActors, and things have become different."
"Of course we know that Shin Se-kyung is the veteran actor of Namoo Actors, but if we can deal with the veteran actors, it will definitely be easier to deal with the others." Chen Chen added: "The trend of actors leaving will not stop for a while. , if the measures taken by NamooActors are not decisive enough or unable to turn the tide, more actors will leave later.”
"So what's wrong with this company?" Shirley was more concerned about this, "There must be a reason for actors to leave."
"I made the biggest mistake that entertainment companies cannot make." Chen Chen lowered his eyes, "With insufficient resources, the food given to the artists is rotten and rancid."
"That is indeed an unforgivable mistake." Shirley stuck out her tongue, "I wish your plan will succeed, and I wish our C Department can recruit top actors!"
Insufficient resources are a fatal injury to entertainment companies. No mature artist with ambitions can bear to develop in a place with insufficient resources.
Therefore, leaving decently became the only option.
……
In early March, Chen Chen found his favorite building.
It was naturally impossible to buy the FNC building that suited Chen Chen's taste, but we did find him a building similar to the FNC building near the FNC building. The C headquarters and FNC officially became neighbors.
Then, Chen Chen called Hong Shengcheng and Jin Shidai to Headquarters C for a small meeting.
"The I branch building has been obtained. It will take three months to half a year to complete the renovation and put it into use. I asked you to come and talk about when to start recruiting trainees."
Chen Chen brought the main course to the table as soon as it came up, and the two of them almost choked.
"Is it so fast?" Hong Sheng was a little dizzy, "I remember that you had the idea not long ago, and now you have bought the building?!"
"Keep the money in your hands and you won't waste it. If you have the opportunity to spend it and exchange it for something useful to you, of course you have to do it decisively." Chen Chen replied: "And when the trainee system has risen to a necessity, It has become very important for C headquarters to get it done and develop early.”
If C Headquarters only has one girl group called Integrate, it doesn't matter if they have their own trainees. C Headquarters doesn't necessarily have to make the idol section big. C Headquarters is not an entertainment company that relies on its own artists to survive.
But now that C headquarters has a new girl group, the situation immediately becomes different.
If the market created by Integrate's new girl group is not captured by subsequent successors, all the previous efforts made by C Division, including the market that may have been developed in China, will be wasted. This is something Chen Chen absolutely cannot accept. matter.
"Why is there such a long gap in the renovation time?" Jin Shidai is more concerned about this. "The time when the building is put into use will directly affect the time when we recruit trainees. We must have specific results before we can plan."
"There is no way. If the epidemic situation is not stabilized, the construction team will not be able to provide guarantees for me." Chen Chen replied: "Besides, it cost too much money to buy the building. Headquarters C and I have already run out of gas. There is no way to be so bold as to invite multiple construction teams to work at the same time or in rotation.”
"In terms of time." Chen Chen thought for a moment and said, "Calculate it in five months. By then, the two buildings of Division S and Division I will be put into use at the same time."
The S branch building mainly provides services to anchors, so it has to be cut into small rooms, which is more troublesome to construct. Therefore, although it was bought by Chen Chen earlier, it may take longer to be put into use than I The Ministry Building is even later.
"Five months," Hong Shengcheng thought in his mind, "that should be enough."
"Should it be enough?" Chen Chen unconsciously scratched his hair, "I thought it was quite sufficient, and I even thought about the situation where the trainees I received had no place to practice."
"If C HQ had a trainee system, then the scene you imagined would definitely occur. C HQ has recruited too many trainees, leaving no room for everyone to practice." Hong Shengcheng smiled, "But you don't even have the ability. There is no one who selects trainees.”
"Hiss~"
Chen Chen took a breath of air.
Yes, trainees have come to sign up, but who will judge whether they are qualified?
There is no such employee in C Headquarters. Before launching the global recruitment activity for trainees, Chen Chen has to find such people and recruit them into C Headquarters!
"Yes, you need to find such employees first." Jin Shidai said with a smile: "But this is not a difficult thing for you. You can borrow it from Starship and Cube Entertainment for the time being, or directly recruit openly That’s fine, many capable people will come to you "Your time will mainly be spent on tangles," Hong Shengcheng continued, "After recruiting and appraising the trainees, you have to determine what kind of talents are qualified for them to become members of the C headquarters. Trainee.”
"This standard can only be set by you yourself. Only after you set it can the people below implement it."
"If you don't have an idea yourself, the people below won't be able to do their work."
"And this standard is particularly difficult to determine. It is difficult for people to clearly know what they want. Most of the time, they can only touch and see and then judge whether this is what I want."
"So." Hong Shengcheng smiled and said, "This is a test of yourself."
"Okay." Chen Chen frowned, "I mean you can provide support for the following things, but I have to open this boss myself!"
"Exactly."
They both responded in unison.
"Then let me take a look at your follow-up support first. I'll get into a state of knowing what's going on." Chen Chen stretched out his hand and opened his mouth to ask for it.
"Starship can provide staff to recruit trainees." Jin Shidai was the first to speak, "Starship has just launched a boy group, and there is no spare time to produce a girl group, so the employees of the Starship series are You can leave it to the C department for use. All you have to do is pay the salary.”
"Hehe." Golden Age joked, "This can also help my starship save some expenses."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Cube Entertainment doesn't have much to offer, only information and brand support." Hong Shengcheng looked a little serious, "Cube has always been recruiting trainees around the world, we can suspend our own activities and lend our names to C Headquarters By using it, C Headquarters can save a lot of troubles that may arise when recruiting trainees abroad. ”
"I understand." Chen Chen smiled and shook his head, "It means that I only need to set the standards. After completing the most difficult work, there is almost no need for me to do anything else."
"Then let's stop talking here for now. I'll take care of my own affairs before I talk to you about the trainees." Chen Chen looked at Golden Times, "How are you doing with Integrate's return?"
"The show has started." Golden Times replied: "There is a lot of content from "The Penthouse" and the appearances of the "Penthouse" actors. With the current popularity of "The Penthouse 2", the popularity will definitely be pushed to the highest level. .”
"You don't have to worry about the return. My wife and I are personally involved in every trip Integrate takes. Starship has definitely done its best."
"What's left," Golden Age boldly looked at Chen Chen, "what's left is what kind of results your title song can achieve and how many fans the girls can attract on their own."
Throwing out the best bait attracts an unprecedentedly large school of fish. How many fish can be caught and how big they can be caught really only depends on the ability and level of the fisherman himself.
Then, there's a little bit of luck.
"Thank you for your hard work." Chen Chen nodded and said, "Let's continue rushing forward with Integrate."
Then Chen Chen looked at Hong Shengcheng and asked: "(G)I-DLE has returned to Cube Entertainment. Are there any changes to the members? And what are President Hong's arrangements for them next?"
< br>
"(G)I-DLE group activities may take a long break."
Hong Shengcheng's ruthlessness made everyone unable to believe that a girl group with such a strong momentum was willing to suspend group activities.
"After being advised by C Headquarters, everyone has seen that (G)I-DLE has high potential, so Cube Entertainment plans to get to know them again and match them with higher-level staff for operations."
"In addition, Xiaojuan came to me and said that she hoped to settle down first. She felt that her growth seemed to have reached a critical node."
"The two situations were combined. I decided to suspend group activities and let the members use their own time to grow. If they should go to variety shows, they should go to variety shows, and if they should go solo, they should go solo."
"Solo also has the advantage of allowing Xiaojuan to exert her production ability and gain opportunities for trial and error and growth. After all, the success and failure of solo will not be talked about by many people. If she fails, she can return to the team and continue to shine."< br>
"So I will at least arrange solo activities for two people. The candidates are to be determined."
"That's it for the time being." Hong Shengcheng said seriously: "I have a feeling that this year is a very important year for Cube Entertainment and (G)I-DLE."
"Haha, we also avoided the collision with Integrate." Jin Shidai smiled and exposed Hong Shengcheng's hidden little thoughts, "If we collide with Integrate this year or compete on the same stage, we may be hit in the heart. Broken.”
"Cube Entertainment is a member of the C headquarters after all. It is normal for our members to benefit from inside information, and it is not worth mentioning." Hong Shengcheng remained calm, his heart not beating, "Everyone knows that this is a critical period for Integrate. How can we not cause trouble? Don’t make trouble.”
"Okay, you did a good job." Chen Chen asked cheerfully, "President Hong met 4minute some time ago, how did it feel?"
"I just feel that time flies so fast." Hong Shengcheng kept a straight face to prevent others from seeing through his thoughts, "More than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and things have changed and people have changed."
"The 10th anniversary of APink is coming soon. What does Boss Hong think?"
Seeing that this man was not fooled, Chen Chen simply made it clear.
"Cube Entertainment cannot afford them." Hong Shengcheng said coldly: "In the critical period of the company's development, it is a stupid choice to use a lot of resources to sign back APink."
"If APink is willing to return at a very low price, it will be a good thing for Cube Entertainment and it can help the company a lot."
"But this is impossible. The market will not allow such a thing to happen, and no one is willing to give up so many interests for nothing."
"I can only say that this is not even my wishful thinking. I will smash and discard this idea myself."
"I do have feelings for APink. I love them. This is a fact."
"But the other fact is that everyone knows who I love most."
Hong Shengcheng said expressionlessly.
"It's Cube Entertainment."
