After being scolded, Golden Era became obedient and stopped clamoring for CRAVITY to become Integrate's junior group. Instead, they changed the topic and talked about the old group.

“Do you think MONSTA X and Cosmic Girls are qualified to hold online concerts? If so, is this a project that can benefit the company?”

When Jinshidai was considering this matter, he felt very unsure because there was not enough data.

Online concerts are not that rare, and we can still see them occasionally. However, there are not many online concerts due to the epidemic, and the data will be even less if we talk about idol groups.

In addition, this kind of information must also pay attention to the timeliness. It is better not to look at data that is too far away from the present.

But these are not that important reasons. Didn’t Cube and Soy Sauce Bottle hold an online concert some time ago? Other people’s data have also been released to everyone. The most important thing is that Golden Age doesn’t dare to believe any of the data circulating in the market.

You believed all the data released by your peers in the market. Even the most vicious peers who could do such a thing would have to praise you for your honesty.

Therefore, the reason why Jinshidai took the initiative to bring up this matter with Chen Chen was that he wanted to get some data from Chen Chen.

Chen Chen can get the real data of Cube Entertainment with just a wave of his hand. Even if he can't get all the data of the soy sauce bottle, he can get the part related to Tik Tok. With these two sets of data, Golden Era dares to do it with all his strength.

Even if we can't get the data, we can understand some things just by looking at Chen Chen's attitude. Chen Chen will not deliberately destroy the development of the starship.

“Has Starship recovered enough to hold an online concert?”

Chen Chen looked up at him, somewhat surprised.

The changes that Starship suffered were huge. From the top-level resources to senior management, middle-level artists and grassroots staff, everyone was involved, and every level suffered a serious blow.

The upper-level resources of C headquarters can be supplemented, and the senior management can be shouldered by the Jin Shidai couple, who can barely hold on. The lower-level staff are not greatly affected and are quickly replenished.

Of course, the reason why the Golden Age couple can hold on and even be responsible for the operation of Integrate is not because they have turned into supermen, but because the middle-level artists are in such a miserable situation that all boy and girl groups have been suspended.

MONSTA X members left the group, and a popular member was sent to serve in the army; Cosmic Girls was caught up in a controversial storm with its Chinese collaborator, and several members also left the group. These two groups really took a long break.

Now that we have recovered to the point where we can consider holding concerts, this is what C headquarters hopes to see.

"We still need to calm down the fans, and now we are just making follow-up plans in advance." Jin Shidai replied: "But generally speaking, it has almost recovered. After all, the fans of Starship artists are very loyal, and the individual members also have a lot of fans."

"Just do it." Chen Chen gave an affirmative answer, "Although the revenue is not as high as offline concerts, it also saves a lot of trouble compared to offline concerts."

"If you're shameless enough, you might be able to earn more than from offline concerts," Chen Chen added.

“Can I make more money than offline concerts?” Jin Shidai felt as if he had opened the door to a new world. “How do you do it?”

"We won't rent a venue or do a live broadcast. We'll just pre-record the concert in the studio." Chen Chen glanced at him. "If you're shameless enough, you can do this. You'll definitely make a lot of money."

"This is too much." Jin Shidai shook his head decisively, "It's no different from deceiving fans. We don't do such things!"

"Then prepare as if it were a normal concert. You can spend more time on the special effects. Fans will be happy to see it." Chen Chen said calmly, "When choosing a venue, just choose one with a large stage and good sound systems. We can easily find a venue that is good value for money without having to consider the audience's position."

"I think so too." Jin Shidai glanced at Chen Chen and whispered, "But, do you have any specific revenue data?"

"Yes, but I can't give it to you." Chen Chen gave a vague range, "The information I can reveal is that it is possible to make more than offline concerts."

Travel expenses and accommodation are always a pain for star-chasers. Compared with these two items, ticket money is not that important.

For online concerts, you don’t have to worry about food and accommodation, you don’t have to worry about whether you can buy tickets, and there are no restrictions on the number of people. It is reasonable to earn more than offline concerts, unless you are on tour.

An online concert is just one show, at most two. Compared with a tour of several or even dozens of shows, the overall revenue is a bit of a disgrace.

Starship doesn’t have the capacity to hold more than a dozen shows right now, so there’s no need to consider this issue.

"Then Starship will start preparing for the online concert!" Jinshidai calculated happily, "MONSTA X will return in November, CRAVITY will debut in December, and Cosmic Girls' "As You Wish" will be released in January. The popularity will be almost up."

“If we book a venue now, we might be able to hold a concert before February.”

"Well, it was a very good time."

"Oh, by the way," Jinshidai still had some hope, "Can we invite Integrate to be the guest at our live concert?"

……

If Golden Era had not revealed its plan to let CRAVITY ride on the popularity, Chen Chen might have let Integrate be a guest at the concert. But now, that’s definitely not possible!
After kicking Golden Era away, Shirley transferred a document over.

"The marketing accounts that have been making trouble in the past few days have been sorted out, but it is a bit difficult to determine their specific camps. It will take some time to get a more accurate answer."

"Or you can just name a camp, and we only need to verify whether those big marketing accounts are from this camp, which will make our work much easier."

"What do you mean?" Sulli asked, "Who are you going to name, KakaoM or SMART?"

"Of course I'm going after SM Entertainment." Chen Chen said without hesitation, "SSM's new girl group is about to debut in 20 days, right? I'm going to destroy one of their promotional channels first!"

"Yeah, I thought so too. But before that, I want you to go to SMART in person. Something is wrong with SMART right now." Shirley had a lot of doubts in her mind. "No matter what, SMART shouldn't have chosen Irene. Your relationship is a top secret of SMART. The top management must know it very well."

"What if it's a new executive?" Chen Chen set his sights on a newcomer. "Lee Sung-soo, Lee Soo-man's nephew, became the co-representative director of SMART in March this year."

"Then he should also know about you and Irene." Shirley retorted, "I became a co-representative in March, not in March this year."

"I can pretend I don't know. Isn't it a common excuse for a newcomer to be ignorant?" Chen Chen snorted, "I only started to understand these things after becoming a representative. I still haven't understood them. You see, I have an excuse."

"This excuse won't fool even a ghost," Shirley complained helplessly.

"So it's an excuse, not a reason." Chen Chen exhaled softly, "You don't need to trick me, you just need to hold me back so that I can't cause any trouble." "The current situation is that I am indeed being held back, because the matter of Zhu Xuan cannot be brought to the surface, and I can't really turn over the Blue House."

"Besides, the final result for Zhu Xuan was good. After getting this good result, my own anger is actually not that high. Now I am completely considering the business issues."

"Lee Soo Man, Kim Young Min, and Lee Sung Soo," Chen Chen gently stroked his chin, "I can find out the positions of the three parties and make use of them, but I have to go to Sha Mao first anyway."

"Let's do it step by step." Shirley opened the window to let in more fresh air. "First, we will kill all the marketing accounts of SM, then we will join forces with Soy Sauce Bottle to attack SM's new girl group, and finally we can consider the affairs of SM as a company."

She is also very worried now. Chen Chen’s two updates have more than doubled her recent workload, which is an unexpected disaster for her.

"Hiss~ I suddenly discovered a problem!" Chen Chen sat up straight, "Irene is not an artist of C headquarters, we can't use her as an excuse to attack those marketing accounts!"

"Don't worry about that." Sulli let the breeze from the window blow her hair around her temples and said calmly, "The marketing accounts in the Korean entertainment industry will definitely mention us, Integrate, and they can use the previous things as an excuse. Anyway, we just want to fight, and the specific way of fighting is not important."

"Yes, that's the reason." Chen Chen took the phone on the table and said, "Then I'll call Lehua Entertainment and ask them to help me do something in China."

"Why, are you going to take action in China as well?"

Shirley closed the window and returned to her seat, asking with a hint of surprise.

"You know that Shamao has a lot of marketing accounts in China, right? If we want to really hurt them, we have to clear out this side as well." Chen Chen sneered, "South Korean marketing accounts can immediately recruit a new batch of Shamao after eliminating a batch, but it will be different if we eliminate the Chinese side, they will definitely feel the pain!"

"You're still angry at SMART." Shirley teased, "Mr. Chen Chen is so powerful. He can really beat people up when he's angry. I'm so happy."

"Stop talking, hurry up and get the marketing account done. Once that's done, send an official visit request to SMART. I want to see who will receive me this time." Chen Chen stood up. "I'll go out and make a phone call, then go to Soy Sauce Bottle to chat with Brother Zhenying."

"Understood." Shirley saluted coquettishly, "Go ahead, the sooner you go, the sooner you can come back. There are still many things in the company that need your decision."

"Both the TV series and the movie are going strong, but the biggest news in C headquarters turned out to be something that the president made up." Shirley complained: "This is not good for the development of the company, you know, this is a distorted development!"

"There will be another chance for success in the future. This may be the only time this kind of thing happens to me." Chen Chen smiled and shook his hand. "Okay, I'm leaving. Thank you, Executive Director Cui, for continuing your work."

After going out, he called Lehua and asked them to contact Nanchen and deal with the marketing account in China. Then Chen Chen turned around and went straight to the soy sauce bottle.

Yes, Nanchen Chen’s personal website in China is still active, and he has made a significant contribution to the Irene incident.

Chen Chen was shocked when he received the news, and could say nothing except admiration.

……

"Hey, Miss NPC, you've refreshed at the soy sauce bottle as usual today."

After walking two steps inside, Chen Chen saw Tzuyu as expected, so he happily went forward to say hello.

"Brother Chenchen!" Ziyu turned around in surprise, "Why are you here today? You haven't been here for a long time!"

"It's been quite a while indeed." Chen Chen scratched his head and said awkwardly, "It's mainly because I've been busy with my own things and haven't had the time to come and chat with you all."

"Then why did you come here this time?" Tzuyu was a little excited, "Is it because of MAMA?"

"I won't be at MAMA anymore. Sulli will be the representative of C headquarters." Chen Chen smiled and shook his head, "But first of all, congratulations to you, Rabbit Wass and Sister One-shot, for both winning awards at MAMA."

“Then I would also like to congratulate Integrate’s sister in advance for sweeping all the MAMA awards.” Tzuyu said cutely, “I also congratulate Brother Chen Chen for being named Producer of the Year again this year! Oh, and this year there is also an award for Executive Producer of the Year, which must also go to Brother Chen Chen!”

Being called "brother" by a soft Taiwanese girl made Chen Chen feel itchy inside. He couldn't help but pinch his nose twice and explained, "The Executive Producer of the Year is Big Hit's Bang Si Hyuk. This award was set up for him. Didn't you see that there was no such award last year?"

“Really?” Zhou Ziyu tilted her head in a silly manner, “It doesn’t matter. Then I won’t waste my brother’s time. You should go find our PD Zhenying as soon as possible!”

"Okay." Chen Chen smiled and nodded, "See you later."

After saying goodbye to the fixed NPC and arriving at the president's office, Chen Chen's previously warm mood suddenly turned gloomy.

When talking to Tzuyu, we talk about happy things, but when talking to Park Jin Young, we talk about dark things.

Say hello, be polite. C's amazing performance in TV series and movies, and then make a few jokes about Chen Chen's two updates that made all public relations departments frantically prepare PPTs. Park Jin-young's enthusiasm is quite reassuring.

"It's so annoying. Everyone has learned the tricks but no one can use them." Park Jin-young ended with a complaint, "If you are not Chen Chen, you can't replace Irene from the public opinion field, but which public relations department can have a Chen Chen to use at will?"

"If there's no Chen Chen, there can be Zhang Chen and Li Chen. There will always be super monsters born." Chen Chen straightened his face, "Let's talk business. The public opinion of SMART is not going well, and C headquarters intends to take the opportunity to target it. What is Soy Sauce Bottle's attitude?"

"The soy sauce bottle does nothing and doesn't help either side."

Park Jin-young's answer was quite standard.

There is no reason for the soy sauce bottle to get involved in this kind of thing. The reason is not legitimate enough and the benefits are not attractive enough.

"The debut date for SMART's new girl group has been set. What are your plans?" Chen Chen jumped to the next question.

"Give their new girl group two weeks. GOT7 will make a comeback at the end of November." Park Jin Young asked casually, "What is the reaction of C headquarters?"

"Integrate, two English singles, one before and one after." Chen Chen replied: "One will be released when they debut, and the other will be released when GOT7 comes back."

"It can be considered a method." Park Jin-young was inexplicably nervous for a moment, and confirmed: "It won't affect GOT7's performance, right?"

"It shouldn't have much of an impact in South Korea, after all, it's an English single, but overseas..." Chen Chen smacked his lips and said, "Don't waste your energy overseas, this song of mine is pretty good."
