The rhythm in the second half of April is called official announcement.

"SMART announced that Red Velvet members Irene and SeulGi will form a sub-group~" Chen Chen first glanced at the noon news, then lowered his head to glance at the beauty in his arms, "Wow, this is completely settled."

"It's already been decided. The company is just worried about when to announce it." Pei Zhuxuan turned over in Chen Chen's arms. "There are a lot of things going on in the circle recently. If we can't find a suitable time, the effect of the publicity work will be greatly reduced."

"But it feels like the circle is really getting back to life~" Pei Zhuxuan sat up suddenly, as if she wanted to have a long talk with Chen Chen, "Everyone seems to be quite busy."

"For example?"

Chen Chen was still lazily leaning against the head of the bed, expecting Pei Zhuxuan to say something herself.

"(G)I-DLE's online concert!" Bae Joo-hyun said excitedly: "Although the offline tour is over, it's also good to be able to hold an online concert!"

Yes, (G)I-DLE officially announced that they will hold an online concert in more than two months, which happened just two days ago.

"It's good to hold an online concert. It can barely make up for the losses in recent times and give fans some comfort." Chen Chen was not as excited as her, but still agreed with Cube Entertainment's approach. "After all, many people could have gone to the scene to see the real person, but now they can only watch the video. The gap is huge."

"I just hope that Cube Entertainment won't have any psychological problems when doing things." What Chen Chen said was all good, but his tone always made people feel a little gloating. "Don't think about how great it would be if you could hold an offline concert. That would be the end of it."

"Well, this is difficult." Bae Joo Hyun bit her lip unconsciously. "The company made the same preparations, but the results were very different. If you can accept this calmly, it only shows that the management of Cube Entertainment is really good at cultivating their energy."

Even Bae Joo-hyun, who has always been optimistic, can't completely trust Cube Entertainment on this matter, which only shows that this matter is really troublesome.

Not to mention Cube Entertainment which is trying hard to save itself, even the current C headquarters cannot withstand such a blow. It's too hurtful!
The publicity negotiated with the clothing brands, the sponsorship negotiated with the jewelry brands, the profit sharing negotiated with the venue owners...all are gone. Not only has the money earned been greatly reduced, but the operation of the brand has become even more difficult.

I have put in the effort, spent the time and resources, but the result is that I am standing still or even regressing? !

Any normal person would not be able to accept this result, let alone Cube Entertainment, which is already on the verge of falling off a cliff.

So Chen Chen was very quiet during this period, and he didn't even dare to look at Cube Entertainment, for fear that he would become the target of their anger.

Theoretically, Cube Entertainment wouldn't dare to do that, but the world never goes by "theoretically".

"But (G)I-DLE's recent signing with Universal Music should make things easier for Cube Entertainment." Bae Joo-hyun made up for others, "They are very impressive, and they may be able to achieve something overseas."

"I hope so. After all, I'm a colleague of Taylor Swift, The Weeknd and others. Maybe I can get some influence from them." Chen Chen couldn't help laughing as he spoke. "It's a bit dazed when I first heard them. I feel like these names are quite far away from us."

"It's far from us, but not far from you, the famous singer Chen Chen." Pei Zhuxuan suddenly became curious, "You said you have written so many outstanding English singles, but these high-ranking names didn't ask you to write a song?"

"Yes, many people, many big stars have asked me out, but I refused them all." Chen Chen raised his chin proudly, "Writing songs for them is a very troublesome thing, I don't want to!" "Really?" Pei Zhuxuan leaned forward, as if to see clearly whether this person was pretending, "Are there really many famous European and American singers who have invited you to sing songs?"

"Excluding "Speechless" and "Bet On Me" which are relatively less outstanding, just looking at "Despacito" and "Old Town Road" is enough to establish my status, right?" Chen Chen pinched his girlfriend's smooth chin and kissed her, "If someone like me is still not good enough, then no one can be."

"That's right." Pei Zhuxuan shrank back again, "Then why don't you write a song for them?"

"Whose credit is it if the songs I wrote become popular? People in our Asia region will definitely praise me, but outside of Asia, everyone will praise other singers." Chen Chen was a little excited, "That's meaningless! I wrote songs for them and then the promotion for me was still around me, what's the difference from now?!"

"Not to mention what would happen if I messed it up," Chen Chen shrugged. "So that would only do harm to me, and I won't do it."

"Now that you put it that way, I can understand. It's better not to write it for them." Bae Joo Hyun changed the subject and asked excitedly, "What do you think about IU's official announcement of a movie?"

"I don't want to watch it at all!" Chen Chen suddenly clenched his teeth, "I want to beat EDAM to death! I told them so many times not to leak the information in advance, not to leak the information in advance, and if it doesn't work, just pretend it didn't happen! But they made it known to the whole of South Korea as soon as they started, for fear that no one would know that they were going to make a movie!"

"Why are you so angry?" Pei Zhuxuan tilted her head, "What does it have to do with you?"

"Didn't C headquarters just acquire the nine shares offered by EDAM? Then I have to share some of the benefits since I took someone else's things. I should go over and lead the younger brothers." Chen Chen curled his lips, "Then look at the timing of this movie."

"Oh, I see." Pei Zhuxuan nodded, "But everyone should be able to see that this is something you gave them, right?"

"It doesn't matter if people in the industry see it, as long as the fans and viewers don't know about it." Chen Chen sighed, "I hope no one will deliberately leak the inside information."

"It doesn't matter even if it's leaked. Just deny it to the death." Pei Zhuxuan patted Chen Chen nonchalantly. "Anyway, it's all speculation and inference. No one has evidence."

"By the way, how is the quality of the script?" Bae Joo-hyun asked curiously.

"It's just so-so." Chen Chen smacked his lips. "C's performance in the film industry is not strong enough. If they get an excellent script, they will definitely use it first and won't give it to others."

"Won't IU senior be at a disadvantage then?"

Bae Joo-hyun suddenly became worried again.

"It's a serious movie after all. Being able to be the heroine is already a bonus." Chen Chen stretched out his fingers and poked her soft face back and forth. "Do you understand what a serious movie means?"

"I understand. Don't underestimate me!" Pei Zhuxuan seized the opportunity and took a bite. Seeing her boyfriend shrink back in pain, she said proudly, "I have also rejected small-scale movies!"
