We can talk about the future later. If we only focus on the future, we may end up being too ambitious.

What Chen Chen has to do now is to quickly produce "Enemy" and hand it over to Riot Games. If he hands it over too late, who knows if an identical work will appear on the person in charge's desk first, which would be troublesome.

As for the response after Integrate's "Good 4 U" is released, Universal Music staff will naturally prepare a summary report and send it to Chen Chen.

Oh yes, Soy Sauce Bottle CEO Park Jin Young will also talk about this song with Chen Chen, because their GOT7 will also release a song on the 30th, which seems to be the regular fourth.

Anyway, no matter what, "Good 4 U" will have the most authentic news delivered to it in two weeks. Chen Chen has no reason to worry about it and will not let the people from C headquarters keep a close eye on it.

……

"So my schedule for the last month of this year is just to communicate with various people. I don't have to do anything else."

Chen Chen looked at the itinerary arranged by Shirley, his brows furrowed as if a tractor had plowed through his face.

"These are all things that must be done. I have tried to simplify them as much as possible." Shirley handed an extra task list to Chen Chen to take a look at. "For example, I have already done the chatting with these people. What you need to do are things that I cannot do."

"Really." Chen Chen immediately had no objection, "Thank you for your hard work, please get it done before the New Year."

"It will definitely be finished before the end of the year. What do you think of the current C headquarters?" Shirley glanced at Chen Chen and said meaningfully, "It's just that the specific time of the program tentatively titled Idol Shelter is still uncertain. It makes me feel less confident when talking to you. It's a bit annoying."

Sulli wanted to talk to the management company of the dispersed members of 4minute. If S branch wants to start the show, they must coordinate the schedules of these artists.

Although everyone except HyunA is quite free, they can't break the rules at will.

"Then you should first cooperate with the helpers sent by Soy Sauce Bottle to set up the S branch." Chen Chen touched his nose embarrassedly, "I will at least set the time of the program before you go for the conversation. It won't look good if it keeps floating in the sky."

"We can schedule it later. Communicating with the guest's agency isn't a big deal anyway." Shirley reminded, "The top priority right now should be the conversation between you and our C-unit actors. This can't be delayed any longer."

"I see. I just forgot about it for a moment." Chen Chen was really embarrassed this time. "No one reminded me, so Xu Xian's contract expired a month ago and she didn't renew it."

Xu Xian signed a contract with C headquarters at the end of October 2018, and it is now December 2019, and it has been a month since the contract expired.

No one said anything, but the studio announced the expiration of the contract at the end of October. Then he continued to report to C headquarters as if nothing had happened and rejected all the olive branches thrown to him, pretending to be loyal to C headquarters.

It may seem a bit flattering but it is the right choice that couldn't be more correct. No other entertainment company except C headquarters can give Xu Xian the resources she had before.

In addition, there are still very few actors in the C headquarters. As long as Xu Xian can successfully renew her contract, she will be second only to the first person, and the priority of resource allocation is frighteningly high.

"Hara's artist contract will not be renewed." Chen Chen mentioned another person, "After it expires in January next year, you can arrange to adjust her contract yourself. You two can discuss what to do and give me a result."

"Okay, that's what we thought." Shirley breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you for remembering Hara, I thought you had forgotten her."

"I can't even remember how many artists there are in the C headquarters. You underestimate me." Chen Chen hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you think we should separate an actor department? I don't think the current model where I am responsible for all the actors will be successful."

"Of course we need it. How can a big president lead the actor section? We are not a specialized actor agency." Shirley was very happy. "And if we have a dedicated actor department, it will be more convenient to handle actor matters. It won't depend on your free time like it is now."

"If you had cut out an actor department earlier, the number of actors in Headquarter C would have increased a lot longer!" Shirley followed up with a complaint.

"Haha, at that time I just wanted to take over other people's actor management companies, so I wasn't in a hurry to do it." Chen Chen made up for himself, "Although I have almost done it now, the fundamental difference is still huge."

"It's not easy." Chen Chen sighed, "It's much harder to run an actor agency than an entertainment company that focuses on idols."

"I don't care. I won't listen to your complaints." Shirley covered her ears very hard. "This is your job! I won't listen!"

"Okay, you don't need to listen to it for now." Chen Chen smiled and waved his hand, "I'll call Xu Xian to talk first and listen to her ideas."

"Don't be anxious. Sort out your thoughts before discussing the contract with Seohyun, so as to avoid any more trouble." Sulli suggested, "But you have to give them a positive signal first. We have already waited for a month, and we can't wait indefinitely. That would be too embarrassing."

"know."

Chen Chen nodded.

……

The notice was forwarded to the assistant, who then contacted Chen Chen individually. Suddenly, he felt that it was a bit troublesome and there was an extra procedure.

However, the final result was not affected, and Xu Xian quickly arrived at the reserved small meeting room.

"Private Life has ended, and I wanted you to take a two-day break." Chen Chen poured tea for Xu Xian, speaking as if he had no idea that Xu Xian's contract had expired. "But after thinking about it, I decided to ask for your opinion. I want to know if you have any preferences for the next TV series."

"Um, Mr. President," Xu Xian reminded Chen Chen seriously, "My contract with C Headquarters has expired."

"Really?!" Chen Chen was still pretending, and even did some serious calculations, "The contract we signed at the end of October 2018, oh, sorry, it has indeed expired."

"Because the company has been very busy recently, I, the person in charge of the actors, haven't paid attention to the actors' affairs for a long time." Chen Chen became serious as he spoke, "I formally apologize to you for the contract issue. I hope you can forgive the mistake made by C headquarters!"

"It's okay!" Xu Xian quickly stood up and hid aside. She didn't dare to accept Chen Chen's apology. "I guess you were too busy and forgot about it for a while, so I was struggling with whether to tell you these two days."

"So that's how it is." Chen Chen motioned for her to sit down again, "Then let's talk about the contract renewal first?"

"Ok."

Xu Xian nodded obediently.

"C headquarters is planning to set up a formal actor department. My idea is that we will sign this contract in the new department after the department is established." Chen Chen added an explanation, "I am getting busier and busier. I can no longer handle all the actors' affairs on my own like before. So it would be better to have a formal actor department. At least embarrassing things like today won't happen."

"What do you and your studio think about the contract renewal?" Chen Chen asked.

"We tend to renew the contract with C headquarters." Xu Xian said without pretense, "We feel that the cooperation with C headquarters has been very pleasant in the past two years, and we are willing to continue to work with it."

Super straight ball! He directly revealed his willingness to renew the contract without even mentioning any conditions!

Oh my, it seems that Xu Xian and her studio have been very nervous for the past month without any news from C Headquarters, and they are afraid that C Headquarters has no intention of renewing the contract. "Then let's do this for now. Let me get the actor department ready in the next few days and then we can talk about it. I will also give you some time to think about how to write this contract." Chen Chen stood up, "To the outside, C Headquarters will say that they have basically reached an intention to renew the contract with you. We can't let you look like there is no news. This is not good."

"Thank you, Mr. President."

Xu Xian quickly stood up and watched Chen Chen walk out of the meeting room.

……

It doesn't take a long time to deal with the actor department's affairs, two or three days will be enough.

After all, it is just building a framework so that Chen Chen can put people in it to support it in the future. Now Chen Chen is still the supervisor.

The contract with Xu Xian was successfully renewed for three years, and then C headquarters sent out the renewal news, and the matter was almost over.

Xu Xian still didn't mention any special conditions, but just put the salary increase she was supposed to get on the table for Chen Chen to see.

Chen Chen thought it was okay. As an actor's status improved, his salary should increase. He was not an unreasonable person, so he signed the contract readily.

Next, the breaking news.

C Headquarters has announced that it is recruiting a supervisor for the actor department to be responsible for all aspects of the actor department. Experienced managers are welcome to apply.

This piece of news is not as big a deal as the previous news about Seohyun's contract renewal, and it made people in the circle who met the requirements so excited that their eyes turned red.

Everyone knows that the person in charge of actors at C headquarters was the president Chen Chen. This is no secret!

Considering the current situation, if he could become the head of the actor department of C headquarters, he would almost be one of the top executives of C headquarters. At least in the actor department, he would be only one level lower than Chen Chen.

Who wouldn’t want this position?! Some people want it so much that they almost faint from all the blood rushing through their heads!
"Just keep stirring up trouble, but don't cause a wave of resignations in the industry!" Shirley scolded with a smile: "Is this a position that can be recruited publicly? Can you please use your brain before doing things?!"

"Of course I know that I have to appoint this position directly, but I don't have anyone to appoint. C headquarters doesn't have such talent." Chen Chen spread his hands, "Then I have to find someone from outside."

"The more people who come, the better." Chen Chen said with a sly smile, "The most outstanding person will be the director, and others can take other positions if they are willing. The actor department will be filled up immediately!"

"And then more than ten department heads are here to manage your actors who can be counted on one hand, right?" Shirley rolled her eyes. "You have so many actors, so you start putting leaders in the departments!"

"As long as there are leaders, there will be actors. Leaders will find a way themselves." Chen Chen snorted, "What kind of leader is he if he has no one to manage? It would be a great thing to inspire these people to find a few actors for C headquarters! I'll give a promotion to those who bring in more actors!"

"Hiss~ Oh my goodness, I felt like I had entered a pyramid scheme for a moment." Shirley took a deep breath and shuddered twice. "You can handle it yourself. Anyway, I don't care about this matter anymore!"

"No problem, just continue preparing for MAMA." Chen Chen patted his butt and prepared to go out. "I have an appointment with the owner of the grocery store to chat, so I have to go over now."

……

The shop owner, that is, the boss who provides resources to the guests on the show, was chosen by Chen Chen to be Lee Sun-kyu.

Such a lazy dog ​​like her definitely wouldn't want to do it, so Chen Chen had to persuade her.

Although it is possible to directly pressure her through SMART to force her to do something she doesn't want to do, that is not a good idea after all. Chen Chen's project is a long-term operation project, and it will be very troublesome if the shop owner is unwilling.

"What's the matter with you asking me out?" Li Shungyu sat opposite Chen Chen with a haughty look on her face. "You're asking someone to drink the cheapest iced Americano at one of Seoul's most upscale cafes in the middle of winter. Your thoughts are really hard to guess."

"Iced Americano runs in your blood, isn't it? I'm going to give it a try." Chen Chen pushed the cup in front of him to Lee Sunkyu, "You drink it, I don't need it."

"you!"

Lee Sun-kyu's eyes widened instantly but she couldn't get angry, mainly because Chen Chen slapped her in the face with a plan.

"Take a look." Chen Chen leaned on the sofa with his arms folded. "If you think it's good, come and help me."

"..."

After Lee Sun-kyu finished reading the plan for the "Idol Shelter", her anger was instantly filled with doubts.

"Are you really going to do this?" Lee Sun-kyu asked doubtfully.

"The plan is right here, the S branch is being established, I'm also gathering the production team, and I've even found the guests for the first season. How could this be fake?!" Chen Chen snorted twice, "To be frank, you were the last person I found!"

"That means my position is stable no matter what happens!" Lee Sunkyu exposed him unceremoniously, "We have known each other for so long, how could I not understand your way of doing things?!"

"Just tell me if you're willing to help me." Chen Chen emphasized, "This is a good thing! A great thing!"

"I'm not stupid, I know you're doing good things!" Lee Sun-kyu bit her lip unconsciously, "I need to think about this matter, and I need to study this plan carefully."

"Okay, don't worry, I have time for you." Chen Chen did not force her to make a decision immediately, "But since you have come out to meet the boss, tell me two things that you are more concerned about, and I will answer your questions on the spot."

"It's only been a few minutes, how can I find anything I care about? I care about the entire project!" Li Shungyu glared at Chen Chen, "I care a lot!"

"Then let's solve this problem." Chen Chen stepped forward and asked, "Why do you care so much?"

"..."

"In this circle that no longer believes in good people and good deeds, you suddenly show an attitude that clearly shows that you want to be a good person and do good deeds. Is it possible that people will not care?" Lee Sunkyu said in a deafening voice, "Even if I don't doubt your sincerity, I have to doubt whether you have the ability to ensure that it can be done."

“It’s done, and it’s a good thing.”

"What if it didn't work? Have you ever calculated how much damage this will cause to people's hearts?!"
