It is a good habit to consider failure before success, but after careful consideration, Chen Chen felt that there was no possibility of failure in his project.

Because it cannot be big, in the end it only has momentum but no strength, which is equivalent to just talking.

Chen Chen knew very well that the S branch was not a place that could turn decay into magic. Its operations and resources were not top-notch. Only its gimmicks and signs were top-notch.

You can't rely on these things to directly elevate an idol group that originally had poor quality and failed to become popular after the first contract to the level of a first-tier group, right?

This is a grocery store similar to the Mercenary Guild, not a wishing well, and the S Branch is definitely not the big turtle in the wishing well!
In other words, apart from being able to participate in a variety show similar to a group variety show, the groups that come here can at most elevate themselves to the level of Brave Girls, perform for a period of time to earn some pension, and then return to nothingness.

Will the market be unable to accept the emergence of such a group?
No, the market is hoping that such groups can appear frequently to bring a breath of fresh air to everyone. The idol market, which is monopolized by big companies and is gradually losing its vitality, needs such idol groups too much.

What's more, if this shop can be operated for a long time, it means that it is controllable, and controllable things generally will not bring harm to everyone.

So Chen Chen didn't plan to let Lee Soon-kyu really go back and think about it carefully.

"It's hard to do." Chen Chen interrupted Li Shungyu's thoughts, "After all, I'm the one who wants to do it."

"..."

"That sounds pretty annoying, you know?"

Lee Sun-kyu was stunned for a moment and couldn't help smacking her lips.

"Just tell me if it's true or not." Chen Chen didn't want to give her any more time to think. "If it's true, let's just think about the next step."

Being able to consider whether the plan is reasonable and being able to distinguish whether Chen Chen is doing good things and doing good things with a certain degree of risk shows that Lee Soon-kyu is not only not opposed to the identity of the shop owner, but even unconsciously has a little move.

Chen Chen was particularly happy after observing her reaction.

Chen Chen would never miss the opportunity to make the lazy dog ​​move, not to mention that this lazy dog ​​happened to be a perfect fit for the role he wanted, so he couldn't let it go!

"Follow-up, what follow-up?" Lee Sun-kyu asked puzzledly: "You have already completed the plan, do you still need me to help you think about the follow-up?"

"Because there are parts that are not written in the plan." Chen Chen pointed out the problem, "The censorship agency. Of course, this is not needed for making a program, but if it is operated as a long-term project, it must be an insurance for this project. It can help us reject some rude requests and also help us say some unpleasant words."

"We are here to serve you anyway, so why don't you just send someone over there yourself?" Lee Soon-kyu said dissatisfiedly.

"If I cover everything up, it will cause a crisis of public trust, which is not good for long-term operations. So I thought of using more experienced idols to form a review agency, which will make everyone more convinced." Chen Chen looked at her with a smile, "How about it, can you recommend a few suitable candidates for me?"

"You choose it yourself." Lee Sunkyu was still a little reluctant, "What if I choose it for you and you don't like it? Wouldn't that offend people?"

"Just make the decision. I won't ask." Chen Chen gave a lot of authority. "You can decide the number of people and the candidates. I'll consider it a favor for you."

"That's not bad." Lee Sunkyu hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Tell me your request. I want to hear it."

"Be relatively fair, have a certain level of experience in the industry, and be very familiar with idols." Chen Chen simply proposed three conditions, and added, "You don't have to know the current idols very well, just know the previous batch."

"Basically, we'll choose people from the group of idols around my head." Lee Sunkyu glanced at Chen Chen and asked arrogantly, "We all want members of girl groups?"

"It would be best if they were members of a girl group, because C headquarters only has girl groups, and the only resources we can give to everyone are girl group resources." Chen Chen responded with a smile, "Of course, if you can bring in professionals who used to work on artist operations to this project, I would especially welcome it, and I will also remember your great achievement!"

"Tsk, you're dreaming! Give up the idea, I don't have the ability to recruit such a person." Lee Sunkyu pursed her lips unconsciously, "But if it's transferred to the members of the girl group, it's really not that difficult to find. There are too many of us who have nothing to do."

"I say the same thing. You are fully responsible, and I won't ask any questions." Chen Chen erected a wall between the two of them. "You can find a job with your old friends or help me push this project to perfection. It's up to you."

"Oh my god, I suddenly feel a little stressed!" Lee Sunkyu said with a weak tone but a cheerful expression, "But don't worry, this is not difficult as long as you can handle the pressure, and I happen to be someone who is very good at dealing with pressure!"

"What about the number of people, how many do you want?" Lee Sun-kyu thought of a very important question.

"Five, two by two, so it's easier to do things this way." Chen Chen held out a palm, "Those who like to work can come to work more often, those who don't like to work can come less often, as long as they don't not come."

"There's nothing much to say about the salary. Salary is paid according to projects, and the more you work, the more you get paid," Chen Chen added.

"Oh, yes, you are the five." Chen Chen was afraid that she would not include him, so he emphasized, "You are very important. Without you, this shop would not be able to open."

"I know. You really think I'm a lazy dog, don't you?!" Lee Sunkyu rolled her eyes at him unhappily. "I don't work because my current job is troublesome and boring. Now an interesting job has come and it was specifically chosen for me. I have no reason to refuse."

"Besides, even if I wanted to refuse, I couldn't do it, right?"

"Even I feel that this job is suitable for me. Even if you, Chen, use some tricks, you will force me into this position."

"I, a small idol, can't handle your C headquarters' tactics."

"Instead of passively taking the beating, it's better to take the initiative to fight for more rights for yourself. When working with someone like you, Chen, you have to speak up while you can still speak. If you can't speak anymore, it's all over."

Li Shungyu's next few words almost made Chen Chen sweat, and his expression became a little unnatural.

"Thank you Ms. Sunny for your understanding." Chen Chen breathed a sigh of relief. "At this point, the preliminary preparations have been completed. Once you find your ideal candidate, we can choose a time to enter the mid-term stage of integration."

"Well, you should take care of the C headquarters first." Lee Sunkyu grabbed the coffee and took a sip, then turned to look out the window calmly, "There is no entertainment company that is not busy at the end of the year. It's better to say that you are not doing your job properly by still caring about such a project at this time."

From December to early January next year, various music activities will emerge one after another, and entertainment companies have to get nervous along with their own idols.

Although C headquarters only has one idol group, Integrate, to take care of, this idol group is the apple of President Chen's eye and must not be neglected.

In addition, Starship and Cube Entertainment also have their year-end celebrations coming up. Since C Headquarters has accepted them as its subordinates, they have to show off a little at the end of the year.

How can a big brother not share the benefits at the end of the year? Is he still a competent big brother? Will there be any younger brothers willing to follow him? ! "Are you sure you want to renew your contract with our youngest brother?"

Lee Sunkyu brought this up after careful consideration. She knew it was inappropriate, but she wanted to ask on behalf of the youngest member.

"It will be renewed." Chen Chen nodded and said, "It's not an exaggeration to say that Xu Xian was raised by C headquarters on her acting career, so they will naturally not let her go easily."

"What about some time ago?" Lee Sunkyu tilted her head in confusion, "Simply to lower the price? But C headquarters doesn't seem like a company that would do that kind of thing, right?"

"Don't have too good an impression of C headquarters. If there is a need to exploit artists in contracts, we are happy to do it." Chen Chen waved his hand modestly, "It's just that there is no need to squeeze a little money out of the artists right now, so that we can still look like human beings."

"So what's the situation with the delay in renewing Seohyun's meeting some time ago?" Lee Sunkyu asked.

"I forgot." Chen Chen looked at Li Shungyu's increasingly confused eyes and simply repeated, "I was so busy that I forgot!"

"I'm the person in charge of the actors in the C headquarters. I'm really too busy to pay attention to the actors' affairs."

"Besides, Xiaoxian had a drama called "Private Life" that was still being broadcast on TV at the time. Even if I remembered the contract, I wouldn't have thought that it had already expired for a month."

"I forget some unimportant things when I'm busy." Chen Chen argued, "It's human nature, you can't blame me!"

Lee Sunkyu sighed and couldn't say anything.

Xu Xian is naturally the beloved youngest member of the team, but in front of Chen Chen, she is indeed the "unimportant things" that others say, and she can't even refute it.

"It's good that you're willing to renew the contract. I thought something went wrong." Lee Sun-kyu breathed a sigh of relief and kindly reminded, "Suzy's contract is about to expire. Don't let others steal your sister away without paying attention."

"C headquarters gave Suzy a connection with Netflix and a role as the female lead in a movie. Can other entertainment companies pry her away?" Chen Chen spoke confidently, but his actions did not match the confidence in his words. "But you did remind me that things that should be discussed in advance should still be discussed in advance. We can't just wait until the contract ends."

In the public's mind, Suzy has almost stepped half way into the realm of a film actor through "Samjin Group English TOEIC Class", and her identity has changed.

Naturally, no one can snatch the TV actress Suzy away from C Headquarters, but it is different for movie actors, as there are many people waiting to snatch her away. If C Headquarters does not put in some effort, it is possible that Suzy will be lost.

C headquarters naturally doesn't want to lose Suzy. Her outstanding commercial value is one thing, and another is that as an entertainment company, they really need a top actress who can stand out.

The remaining actor identities are quite ordinary for C headquarters. After all, someone of her level took even Chen Chen, a president with a lot of tricks, several years to create. It is not something that can be found by chance.

……

On December 6th, the MAMA awards ceremony hosted by CJ was held in Gyeonggi Province, with Song Joong-ki as the host.

Chen Chen still came to the MAMA scene, not because he was worried that Sulli would not be able to handle the problem, but because he happened to be here to chat with someone.

The topic was about Shorty King, and the participants included Bang Si Hyuk and someone from M-net, who is now the person in charge of Off The Record Entertainment, the company that runs Shorty King.

In addition to Shorty King, Off The Record Entertainment now has acquired fromis_9 from Stone Music Entertainment, so it can be considered a well-run entertainment company.

But he has never met its president Chen Chen, and there is no news about this person in the circle.

Everyone knows that it is a subsidiary of M-net, and no one really cares who its president is.

There is Fang Shihe, M-net and Shorty King. After thinking about it carefully, this MAMA is indeed quite suitable for chatting, so Chen Chen also came.

Chen Chen brought Shirley to meet the other two. After some polite exchanges, they discussed the future of Shorty King member Cho Yoo-ri and that was the end of the discussion.

Then, Sulli went to discuss the specific procedures with M-net, while Chen Chen and Bang Si Hyuk stayed in the waiting room to chat alone.

"You said we are not going on stage to receive the award, nor are we going out to talk, but we are still occupying someone else's backstage waiting room. Isn't this bad?"

Bang Si Hyuk followed the flow and joked with Chen Chen with a smile.

"This waiting room can be used by anyone, so it can be used by us." Chen Chen simply flattered, "But it still takes some ingenuity to think of meeting here. Speaker Fang did a good job!"

"In addition to letting you see the Shorty King member you wanted, I actually have a little selfish motive." Bang Si Hyuk said with a smile: "Many of the artists who came to receive the award are from Big Hit, and I want to show off."

"That's definitely worth showing off. Whether it's BTS or SEVENTEEN, Chairman Fang should be proud of them." Chen Chen himself doesn't have a boy band, so he naturally doesn't want to talk about it any more, and casually changes the subject, "But I heard that Big Hit is planning to change its name. Does Chairman Fang have any idea?"

"Well, Big Hit will definitely change its name, but we don't have a specific idea for the new name yet. We still need everyone to work together." Bang Si Hyuk looked at Chen Chen, "You are the major shareholder now, so your ideas are also important."

"No, I don't know how to name it, and I can't name it!" Chen Chen waved his hands and joked, "What if I give Big Hit a new name and it's adopted? Wouldn't that mean I would have a relationship with Big Hit? That's absolutely not allowed!"

"Big Hit is so unpopular in your eyes, right? It shouldn't matter if you have some feelings for it?" Bang Si Hyuk said coldly with a broad face, "Besides, we have reached a position like this, a little bit of feelings won't actually affect anything, right?"

"I can't do it for now. After all, I'm still young." Chen Chen nodded at himself and joked, "You can't ask a person under 30 to show undue cruelty, right?"

“Hahaha, if we hadn’t witnessed your growth with our own eyes, we would have really been fooled by your youthful appearance.” Fang Shi Hyuk laughed, “You are one of the most ruthless people in the circle, and your methods make everyone feel ashamed!”

"Well, I'm too lazy to talk about this." Chen Chen rolled his eyes and asked, "Big Hit doesn't have a girl group, and the boy groups are all top boy groups, so do your boy groups have a lot of mid-level resources overflowing?"

"Of course there are a lot of overflows." Fang Shihe put on the airs of a big boss, "We don't have time to digest the top resources, let alone the middle-level resources."

"Yeah, good, very good." Chen Chen thought about the shelter, "If possible, lend it to me."

C headquarters provides resources for girl groups, and Big Hit provides resources for boy groups. If the two sides complement each other, it will become more promising.
