EXID is very good, at least within the scope drawn by Chen Chen, it is perfect for them to be guests on the first episode.

The earliest member to leave the original agency was in May last year, and the latest left eight months ago.

Eight months is not a long time, but it is not short at all for idols and fans. Just looking at the time alone, it is quite suitable.

For general audiences, EXID is a group from a long time ago, and they might feel a little nostalgic when talking about it; for fans, the fact that their idols are still trying to stay together and hold online concerts after leaving the company is already heartbreaking.

It's all good, everyone has something they want to see and everyone can enjoy it.

By the way, if EXID is really chosen as the target, their upcoming online concert will actually be helping Chen Chen, because it is absolutely impossible for them to be a complete group.

At least An Xiyan will not appear in this online concert. She is filming a movie on the set set up by Chen Chen.

It’s hard to say more, but if I say that one-third of EXID’s popularity belongs to Ahn Hee-yeon, it’s not an exaggeration, everyone should agree.

So, the fact that such an important member failed to appear in the important online concert that was created with great difficulty after everyone dispersed will definitely trigger the emotions of fans. Not to mention clamoring for a reunion, they will definitely feel sad.

At this time, a production team stepped forward and tried to temporarily reunite EXID, and the benefits would be extraordinary.

but
We are all idols, so the effect of choosing someone else won’t be much different.

We'll see when the time comes. There's still a lot of work to do now.

……

"What do you think about the host?" Sulli talked about the next topic, "After all, this is not the real "Infinite Challenge". There are not so many excellent hosts to connect the show."

"But the main theme of the show is the idols, so it's enough to have only one host, provided that he knows the idols very well."

"Isn't it easy to find someone like this?" Sulli raised her eyebrows. "Yoo Jae-seok?"

"Yoo Jae-seok is not good enough." Chen Chen vetoed, "Since he has more and more shows and advertisements, he is no longer an all-round host who knows everything. His professional ability even shows signs of declining slightly."

"What's more, Yoo Jae-suk is not a host who knows idols very well. Inviting him is equivalent to inviting a conventional syndicated host, which will reduce the program effect."

"But I'm a little disappointed that your sentence isn't easy to find. Is it dark under the lamp?" Chen Chen smiled and pointed at someone, "Let's choose our own Jaejae from C headquarters. Isn't her understanding of idols and artists shown in "Civilization Express" enough to conquer you?"

"Oh!" Shirley suddenly woke up, "It's true that I was blinded by the light!"

"Then let Jaejae be the host, and give her a raise as a reward." Sulli decided immediately, "She really loves the idols, and she will be happy to see the lost idols reunited."

"I'm just a little worried that Jaejae won't be able to handle it." Chen Chen sniffed. "She is responsible for many things in the YouTube section of our C headquarters, and giving her one more task might be too much."

"There's still time. We can either send someone over to help her or reduce the burden on her shoulders." Sulli patted her swollen chest and said, "Leave it to me. I promise that Jaejae will be in the best condition when the show starts."

"No problem. I have complete faith in the ability of our Representative Cui." Chen Chen interrupted with a small aside. "Oh, by the way, pick a time in the next two days to announce your appointment as the representative director of the C headquarters. You should also write the draft yourself."

"Okay." Shirley didn't bother to be polite with Chen Chen, "I've already moved the resources that I should move."

"Let's do it." Chen Chen joked, "If the representative director doesn't want to use the resources, then who else am I going to use them for?"

"That involves another issue." Shirley approached Chen Chen and looked at him seriously, "After I become the representative director, do I need to promote Hara as well?"

"Bring it up, where should it be brought up to?" Chen Chen asked.

"Just simply offer me the position of executive director to fill my vacancy." Shirley replied.

"It's up to you, but before you make a decision, I want to ask you a question." Chen Chen looked into Shirley's eyes and asked, "Do you think Hara is capable of taking the position of executive director?"

"Not capable enough." Sulli's expression darkened. "Hara's performance in the entertainment company is not as good as when she was an idol. She is not capable of taking the position of executive director."

"Yes, I think so too." Chen Chen said slowly, "In fact, it's not that we can't give her the position of executive director. I'm sure everyone can understand this little favor."

"But there shouldn't be favor positions at C headquarters so early. We are just a startup entertainment company."

"We can promote Hara when we have the chance later, but for now, let her keep doing her current job."

"By the way." Chen Chen asked, "In what aspects did Hola excel?"

"She is very familiar with all the business related to the entertainment industry, the glamorous side of the industry." Sulli answered without hesitation, "After all, Hara is a very successful idol in South Korea and the neighboring country of Sakura. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is one of the most successful idols. She has rich experience in handling matters in this area."

"No problem. At least I can guarantee a high position in the future planning of C headquarters." Chen Chen nodded. "But it's better to talk about the future later. You should do your own thing first."

"Then I'll finish the manuscript today and send it out tomorrow?" Shirley asked Chen Chen for his opinion, "Or should I parachute in as the leader after the new label is established and get a promotion?"

"Release it sooner. We don't know when the new label will come, but MAMA is only a month away." Chen Chen moved the time forward infinitely. "You have to let everyone in the Korean entertainment industry know your identity at MAMA, otherwise, we don't know when the next perfect opportunity like this will come."

"Ah."

Shirley hummed and said nothing more. She returned to her seat and began to write a manuscript for herself for tomorrow.

"..."

"Speaking of which, it's time to recruit some more executives for the C headquarters." Shirley said after a while, "You will have to retire in the future. It will not work if you keep me alone. I lack both experience and authority to command the support of others."

"What do you think?"

Chen Chen asked directly, because Shirley knew she was asking with the answer in mind.

"Let Irene come in. Even if she's just a mascot, it will be intimidating enough because everyone will think she is the embodiment of your will."

Shirley was not polite at all and took advantage of Irene as well. "Not yet, she still wants to be her artist, although there will definitely be such a thing in the future." Chen Chen stretched his body, mainly swinging his arms twice, "I have also considered your concerns, I will try my best to help you build a team in the few years I am here."

"As for who the others are, you probably don't have to guess. It's obvious that they are the people in charge of our subsidiary." Chen Chen added.

"Hey, you're calling it a subsidiary of a subsidiary?" Shirley was a little amused. "You're just the largest shareholder. It's not even your subsidiary."

"It will happen sooner or later. If I can make them the largest shareholder, then there will be a day when I can take them all down. Which of these entertainment companies can grow faster than C headquarters?" Chen Chen snorted coldly, "Besides, I still have a secret weapon that I haven't used yet. Once I take out the secret weapon, no one will be able to play anymore!"

"You still have secret weapons?" Shirley asked in surprise, "How many good things have you hidden?!"

"Actually everyone knows what my secret weapon is, but no one thinks I can use it."

Chen Chen made a casual remark, which was a pretty big hint.

"A little bit of shares in a certain audio platform, right?" Shirley understood immediately. "If you take this out, no one will be able to play anymore. If anyone messes with you, you can throw this thing on their head and they will die!"

Tik Tok is a dimensionality reduction attack on entertainment companies. No matter whether it is in South Korea or China, as long as they are sure to be attacked by Tik Tok, they will be skinned alive if not killed.

However, Chen Chen is not deeply involved with the domestic situation, so people in South Korea need to be more careful.

"I can return the shares of Tik Tok to Tik Tok in exchange for a full-scale attack from Tik Tok, or I can choose one person and die together with him." Chen Chen exhaled, "This is a dimensionality reduction attack."

"Die together, how do you die together?" Shirley was just curious. "There are many strong players in South Korea. It's not that all problems can be solved by a certain audio company coming over."

"Since we are going to perish together, it is definitely not me who will return the shares of Tik Tok to Tik Tok." Chen Chen gave Shirley a look, "What if I give the shares of Tik Tok to the chaebol in South Korea? Will it make them act like crazy?"

Shirley stared speechless, because she knew it would definitely work.

The significance of the South Korean chaebol acquiring Tik Tok shares is not just about getting a few high-quality shares. It is a golden key, which, in a bigger sense, has the potential to cause unrest in the situation.

However, this deal will never be realized because the shares of Douyin have never been under the control of Chen Chen.

Even though the item is in his hand, his name is written on it, and even according to laws and rules, it belongs to him, it is not necessarily his, especially when it is handed over to a complete outsider.

But what if? This just thought is enough to make many South Korean chaebols green with envy.

Once Chen Chen's idea was made public, he would be attacked domestically and would be completely ruined in this world. Meanwhile, the giants in South Korea would start working hard for this eventuality.

The few shares of a certain audio platform in Chen Chen's hand may not be the key to ascending to the immortal world, but at least they are an elixir that can prolong life. They are completely in a different dimension from the level he, Chen, is at now.

"Don't think too much." Chen Chen clapped his hands twice to wake Shirley from her shock. "That won't happen. The Korean entertainment industry doesn't have the ability to push C headquarters to that extent."

"You should be ready to welcome President Jin, President Hong and others as your teammates." Chen Chen said with a smile: "We really have to wait for others. I don't know who C Headquarters will take in in the future."

"It's also good to recruit one and add him to the management team." Shirley only took half a second to understand Chen Chen's intention. "Everyone has his own company and his own favorites, so everyone may have their own little thoughts when discussing and making decisions, but it's hard to make mistakes in the general direction. After all, if C headquarters collapses, someone will be crushed to death."

"That's about right." Chen Chen didn't explain anything, but just yawned. "Even if a small group formed to completely destroy the C headquarters, the process would take several years. We have plenty of time to react."

"And it's not necessarily easy for small groups to emerge, because our C headquarters will have its own label in the future."

"They are my own children. Even if some of them have crooked elbows, it's impossible for all of them to be like that."

"The top person in charge of the label plus the top person in charge of the subsidiary will form the board of directors of C headquarters in the future."

"C headquarters will maintain control over the central government, and those outside can just let them be princes." Chen Chen yawned again, "Sometimes starting a company is really like establishing a feudal dynasty. As you go along, you become one."

"Didn't you sleep well last night?" Shirley asked with concern, "You're already yawning at this hour."

"I went to bed a little late last night, and spent some time thinking about the idol shelter." Chen Chen rubbed his face, "I plan to go back, you should finish your own things and leave work early."

"Wait a minute, Idol Shelter has one last question." Sulli stopped Chen Chen, "C Headquarters needs a spokesperson when providing assistance on the show. Who do you plan to let play this role?"

The idols need someone to help when they reunite, and someone to provide an operating group and corresponding resources when they are discussing their comeback plans after the reunion. Although these two roles are essentially C headquarters, they have to appear on the show after all, so they still need a spokesperson.

"You need to understand the twists and turns in the industry and handle all kinds of issues related to idols."

"You need to have enough status to face the idols who come to you, and it would be best if you can make these idols a little more obedient, whether they are superiors or subordinates."

"It needs to have enough variety show capabilities so that the show doesn't deviate from the reality that it's a variety show when it's doing things."

"He or she must have a good enough relationship with the C headquarters so that we can trust him or her with resources and other things."

"It's best to have a wide range of personal connections so that you can help the production team deal with some small things that are difficult for the production team to handle but would be too high-profile to use C headquarters' resources."

"..."

"Well, no, right?"

Chen Chen thought about it one by one, and the more he thought about it, the clearer the image in his mind became.

"It seems to be her!"

Chen Chen slammed the table, then covered his face and laughed.

"Li Sanlang, ah Li Sanlang!"

"You didn't expect that? I still found a class for you!"
