star of the peninsula

C headquarters began to bombard indiscriminately.

First was the production press conference for "The Penthouse", which not only announced the official cast but also the broadcast platform and time, which was extremely crazy.

This operation may not be unique in South Korea, but at least no one will dare to learn it for many years to come.

More importantly, Chen Chen’s words “throw away your brain” were repeated again by the production team, which attracted a lot of abstract viewers and put the writer under great pressure.

How can the drama live up to the audience’s expectations? Writer Jin, who is famous for her melodramatic plots, suddenly became worried, and then she contacted President Chen more frequently, because she found that the president seemed to be very good at setting up melodramatic plots, especially the melodramatic plots in "The Penthouse".

It’s a pity that the president is very busy and can’t be on the set all the time to provide new ideas, which is really frustrating.

In any case, the crew has officially started work and is moving at full speed towards the deadline which has already started counting down even before all the crew members are gathered.

Then came the two-hit combo from C-unit actress Seohyun. The drama "Private Life" aired on JTBC changed everyone's impression of her as a good girl, and the drama "Silent" was intended to ride on the popularity of the show. She got it.

All I can say is that she got it.

There is no need to say much about the power of "A Quiet Place", so Seohyun, who had a decent role, naturally received a lot of praise.

Because you are not important, no one will look at you with a magnifying glass; because the movie is good, praising you as a supporting role will make me look very tasteful.

Seohyun was so busy on the set of "Private Life" that she had no time to check the internet, but the online reputation of the actor suddenly improved a lot.

Speaking of "Private Life", its ratings got off to a good start, reaching over 2.5.

The numbers are pitifully small, but this is JTBC TV station, and it would be good if a TV series that is not particularly good can have a viewership of more than a certain point.

It's impossible to maintain it, the script isn't good enough to keep the audience watching, but having such a good start is always something to think about.

Seohyun acted hard, JTBC TV station filmed hard, so just let them have fun together, don't be the one who spoils the fun.

At this point, C Headquarters has become a very popular topic for discussion, and many people want to know whether anyone can take off when they arrive at C Headquarters.

However, netizens were not given a chance to draw conclusions as the top lady from C headquarters came out to update the topic.

Once the name Bae Suzy appears in a TV drama, there will always be some nice shots, no matter what.

Clothes, bags, people... No matter what it is, there will always be shots that go viral, and the shots in the first two episodes of "Start-Up" are particularly viral.

The male lead, Nam Joo Hyuk, is a popular young actor with huge traffic, and is a guarantee of popularity.

The structure of a TV series that can attract traffic has been completed, and the rest is to fill it with content.

The content is average, but the second male lead is good, and Chen Chen is very popular.

But not long after he became popular, his career was ruined and a scandal broke out.

But at least not yet, so the TV series can continue to attract traffic.

Then today, October 21st, "Sanzhen Group English TOEIC Class" was officially released, and everyone was shocked.

"Is this something that C headquarters can produce in its first film?"

It doesn’t have much to do with the movie itself, the focus is mainly on this issue.

In terms of movie pre-sales, "Sanzhen Group English TOEIC Class" is more popular than all the movies in the same period combined.

For no other reason, everyone just wants to see how C headquarters can perform in movies.

This was the first movie that he had actively participated in producing and he also cast his own top actress in it. Not to mention those people who were curious, anyone with a little curiosity would not be able to resist the temptation.

I went in with doubts, and after watching a very good movie, my doubts became even greater, so I started to surf the Internet to seek answers or find people like me to huddle together, share ideas and complain about each other.

The popularity just soared.

Although "Silent" is a better movie and will definitely win more awards, the first place in the same period was "Sanzhen Group English TOEIC Class" of my C headquarters.

After the popularity soared, Suzy naturally also soared.

The number of discussions praising her for her good acting and criticizing her for not doing well was increasing every second, making Suzy so happy that she almost rolled her eyes.

The fact that such a discussion has emerged shows that everyone has accepted and acquiesced to her position as the heroine of the movie, which is a huge recognition.

Suzy immediately went to find Chen Chen and cried. It was just an act, but the boss should be able to feel what she wanted to express.

Although, the movie has only been released for one morning.

It was indeed just one morning. In just one morning, public opinion fermented into this state.

What is a traffic king? ! C headquarters is definitely a traffic king!
Afternoon? In the afternoon, Chen Chen made an appointment with Pei Zhuxuan to go to the movies. Because she was a little busy preparing for her comeback, they had to watch two movies in one afternoon.

……

"Both are good movies, but it's still too tiring to watch two movies in one afternoon."

Coming out of the cinema, Bae Joo-hyun's thoughts about the movie had nothing to do with the movie.

"Is it more tiring than your practice?" Chen Chen stretched, "Let's go home and rest. The chairs in the cinema are uncomfortable all over."

"But why are there so many people watching 'Samjin Group English TOEIC Class' today?" Bae Joo Hyun asked curiously, "It seems that most of them are here to watch this."

"I'm just curious. Didn't you read the online discussion this morning?" Chen Chen said with a smile, "The explosive popularity in the morning attracted more people to join in the fun in the afternoon. Everyone wants to know how good C headquarters is in the film industry."

"No, I came to watch a movie with you as soon as I woke up." Bae Joo-hyun shook her head.

"Why did you wake up so late today?" Chen Chen asked in surprise: "Don't you usually wake up very early?"

"Because of filming, there are many things to film before the comeback." Bae Joo Hyun replied: "I usually wake up very early, but when I am working at full speed, I still have a normal artist's schedule."

"A normal artist's work and rest schedule is to reverse day and night."

Chen Chen curled his lips, noncommittal.

Driving home, Chen Chen felt inexplicably uncomfortable along the way. He remembered that the 21st was a day that needed attention, but he couldn't remember it now.

……

……

Cooking, eating, chatting, everything was the familiar daily routine of a couple until the phone started howling desperately.

"Look at the trending searches." Shirley's tone was filled with panic for the first time in a long time. "The message I sent has been unread. I can only call you."

"What's trending?"

Chen Chen opened NAVER with confusion, and then the emptiness in his heart was filled.

Today is not only the day when C's movie is released, but also the day when Bae Joo-hyun was exposed for bullying controversy.

When Chen Chen and Bae Joo-hyun had their contact, this incident was firmly engraved in Chen Chen's mind as a coordinate, because this was the most profound impression Chen Chen had of her besides her beauty.

"No rush." ​​Chen Chen answered on the phone: "You guys take a rest, I'll do the operation."

Some things seem to be happening according to the original trajectory, but in fact they have already changed.

As the contestant who has witnessed Bae Joo-hyun's bullying controversy twice, Chen Chen will state and change the facts from his own perspective.

Bae Joo-hyun's bullying controversy was the biggest melon of the day, and Chen Chen, a recording studio employee in China at the time, did not want to eat the garbage water-injected melons that were added by domestic marketing accounts and hidden tricks. He climbed over the firewall to access the Internet and read the whole melon with the help of NAVER's built-in translation. However, Chen Chen only read the melon until Bae Joo-hyun personally published an apology article, because he had a brain and did not only read the content related to the fan circle.

But once you get out of the fan circle's perspective, this melon becomes fucking stinky, and even a stupid dog can't eat it.

Chen Chen closed his eyes and recalled the information in his head, and almost couldn't help laughing.

Given Chen's current status, the cause and effect of this matter is completely exposed. It is a purely political incident and a piece of rotten hype that despicably directs the flames of war towards artists to divert public attention.

At that time, after Bae Joo-hyun was exposed for bullying, she ranked third on NAVER's hot searches, and the innocent Seulgi was fourth. Seulgi's stage name was even translated into "wisdom" by the silly NAVER built-in translator, so Chen Chen had to check it out before he knew who it was referring to.

Who were the first and second? Chen Chen didn't remember, but he knew they were officials from the Blue House because he had checked.

And then, as if nothing happened, those two Blue House officials still ranked first and second on the trending searches after the Bae Joo-hyun bullying controversy became a hot topic, and their positions were extremely stable.

What happened next was that someone spoke up for Seulgi and removed her from the matter.

The next step is for Bae Joo-hyun to personally publish an apology article.

At this point, the names of the two officials finally disappeared from the hot searches.

"..."

It's really a mess. Even Chen Chen, the president of C headquarters, has seen through the trajectory of this matter. It's so simple!
Let’s start from the source and sort out the order in which things develop.

Let me first introduce an important person, who is also the important reason why the composition of S.H.I.E. is so clean compared with other entertainment companies.

Kim Dae-jung, uncle of Kim Young-min, head of SAMSUNG Corporation, and leader of the Democratic Party at the Blue House in South Korea.

Chen Chen didn’t know whether the two Blue House officials who were ranked first and second on the hot search list were from the Democratic Party, but it was 99% certain that they were.

What is certain is that they committed a crime and caused major public outcry.

Kim Dae-jung wanted to protect them, so he wanted to pull two artists from the entertainment company run by his nephew to deal with this wave of public opinion, and he gave this task to his nephew Kim Young-min.

Two people replaced two people, Bae Joo-hyun and Kang Seul-gi, the duo who had just performed as a sub-unit and the results were very good, became the best shields, so they attacked Irene who was more popular and then dragged Seul-gi into it.

Oh, that's why Seulgi is ranked fourth on the trending search list. It seems like she made a profit. Normally, it's not easy for Seulgi to be ranked fourth on the trending search list.

Anyway, Kim Young-min’s first attempt to divert public pressure failed. After all, how could the third and fourth most searched topics share the pressure with the first and second ones?
So the following operation was carried out: first, Seulgi was picked out, and then Bae Joo-hyun was sacrificed.

If the controversy is not hot enough, then just make it true. If it is true, it will definitely be hot enough, and taking the initiative to apologize is absolutely the most solid action.

In fact, Chen Chen could see Jin Yingmin's dilemma from this.

He didn't want to sacrifice anyone, otherwise he wouldn't have dragged Seulgi into this.

No matter how you think about it, Bae Joo-hyun’s bullying exposure has nothing to do with Seul-gi. The fact that they appeared on the hot search together must be someone’s effort to create hype.

"Two for two, that should be enough, right?"

"Controversy is okay. If an artist doesn't have some controversy, is he still an artist?"

"We at SMART are absolutely capable of washing away the controversy, so this is nothing!"

"..."

This was probably what Kim Young-min was thinking at the time.

Unfortunately, the situation later developed to the point where one person had to be sacrificed, otherwise it would have been impossible to suppress it.

Kim Dae-jung's demands must be met, so Kim Young-min can only sacrifice Bae Joo-hyun.

It's a bit sad to say, because even if I choose to sacrifice Seulgi, it's useless. The popularity is not enough, and there is no operation method to completely confirm it.

At this point, the final result of Seulgi's controversy being clarified and Bae Joo-hyun's controversy being confirmed has also been explained.

What an ugly and unpalatable melon.

Return to reality.

Chen Chen first turned his head to look at his girlfriend who was laughing at the TV, then read the text messages on his mobile phone.

Chen Chen clicked on a few messages sent by Sulli and then a text message came from Lee Soo Man at some point.

"not my business."

These few simple words shattered Chen Chen's resolve, and he could no longer maintain his forced calmness!

It has nothing to do with you, so it has something to do with other senior executives of SMART?!
I originally thought that my girlfriend, Chen, would never experience this kind of thing again, but it turns out that my face is so worthless!
Oh no, I can't be angry for my own face.
Chen Chen calmed down immediately.

He clicked on the hot search, copied the names of the two Blue House officials and searched for information. The moment Chen Chen saw that they were members of the Democratic Party, he was sure that his guess was 100% the true answer.

"Oh well."

At this time, Bae Joo-hyun just hung up the phone call and started searching on her phone in a wronged manner.

“I don’t know this staff member well.”

Bae Joo Hyun complained quietly.

"Did they change the staff this time? Not the editor of the fashion magazine?"

Chen Chen keenly caught the complaint and blurted it out subconsciously.

"What this time?"

Bae Joo-hyun gave him a puzzled look.

"Nothing." Chen Chen cleared his throat and said, "Don't worry about it. It's my fault."

"Why is it your fault?" asked Bae Joo-hyun.

"Because I didn't tell the world that you are the wife of a chaebol." Chen Chen said firmly: "If I had told the world, this would never have happened."

"Hahaha, what nonsense is this."

Bae Joo-hyun smiled and looked relaxed.

"You know I can do it." The more Chen Chen saw his girlfriend like this, the angrier he became. "I can definitely do it!"

"Can not do."

Bae Joo-hyun felt her boyfriend's anger and gently pulled his sleeve to comfort him.

But she still had red eyes without realizing it.

"Then I won't be able to continue being an idol."

"..."

She really likes being an idol.
