Of course Chen Chen knew how to change it.

The simplest thing is to just change the ending, which will satisfy the needs of the vast majority of viewers for the show.

The only troublesome thing is to overhaul the adult part of the play, so that we can hope that the play can reach higher levels and win the Baeksang Arts Awards.

Unfortunately, this is impossible, as the TV drama award for next year's Baeksang Arts Awards has already been taken.

Back to the topic
There were many viewers who were upset after watching the ending of "Twenty-Five, Twenty-One", and many people also went online to curse.

Although these criticisms will not teach Chen Chen how to revise the script, for a writer like Quan Duen, it is enough to point out where the problems are, and she will make the revisions herself.

But Chen Chen just smiled and didn't mean to point it out at all.

This script doesn't belong to me yet. Do you want to get improvement proposals from me?

Kim Eun-sook is of no use here. Her little bit of face is obviously not as reassuring as a contract in black and white.

"Oh, I'm a little tired." Jin Enshu rubbed her shoulders pretentiously, "After signing the contract, you can talk alone. I don't really want to hear about this."

"Oh, okay, sign the contract first!"

Kwon Do-eun immediately realized that it is difficult for a scriptwriter to be particularly ignorant of human nature.

After signing the contract, Kim Eun-sook no longer complained about being tired, and Chen Chen also pointed out what needed to be pointed out.

As for how to understand it, that is something the master and disciple should study on their own when they return. Chen Chen doesn't need to worry about it.

The script is already in the hands of C headquarters, and now it is the turn of the master and apprentice to do the reading comprehension questions set by Chen Chen.

……

"Oh, I'm so tired!"

After coming out of the meeting room, Chen Chen went straight back to his office and lay down, not wanting to move at all.

"Take some time to rest." Shirley wet a towel with hot water and applied it to his face. "We have a meeting with the production team later."

"But this will be much easier. As long as there is no need to use your brain, we are just explaining things."

"By the way, I seem to have forgotten what the name of this show is?" Shirley asked embarrassedly.

"Shine Grocery Store, a name that is very much in the style of South Korean variety shows." Chen Chen covered his face and sighed suddenly, "I wanted to reject this name that Jin Taihao came up with, but I couldn't think of a better one. I'm so angry!"

"This name sounds like a South Korean variety show, which is good." Sulli wanted to laugh but she held it back, turned around and comforted him, "Anyway, this is a variety show directed by PD Kim, so they can name it whatever they want."

"Speaking of which, I'm a little curious." Shirley talked about something else, "Did you understand the script of '25, 21' so well after reading it once?"

"How is that possible?" Chen Chen smiled and waved his hands. "I read the scripts that C headquarters wants to get many times. The reason I acted like that was just to make the other party think I'm awesome so that it would be easier to talk."

"You are really amazing." Shirley gave Chen Chen a thumbs up. "Does the script of "Women in the Alcoholic City" need to be revised?"

"It's hard to say. I haven't seen what kind of script the comic will be adapted into yet. I'll tell you when I see it." Chen Chen didn't answer directly. "In terms of the comic content alone, there are actually a lot of things that need to be changed, but let's hand it over to the writer first and let him make the changes himself."

No matter where in the world, the standards of comics as a medium are much more relaxed than those of TV dramas, so the scripts of comic-adapted TV dramas need to be carefully revised.

C headquarters has its own long-term comic adaptation writers, and excellent comic adaptation TV series such as "Model Taxi", "Amazing Rumors", and "Zombie School" are all obtained from them.

"Speaking of comics." Chen Chen suddenly thought of something and asked, "The subsequent copyrights of "Amazing Rumors" and "Zombie School" are no longer in our hands, right?"

"The subsequent copyright of 'Amazing Rumors' has been sold to TVN, and the copyright of 'Zombie School' is in the hands of Netflix." Shirley replied: "We have issued a notice, and everyone knows that the subsequent filming of these two TV series has nothing to do with us."

"Well done." Chen Chen gave a thumbs up in return. "Sequels of TV series adapted from other formats often have big problems. C headquarters will not take this job."

"But isn't it a bit unfair for us to do this?" Shirley had a question in her mind. "I don't feel good to abandon someone halfway instead of taking responsibility for them until the end."

"C Headquarters has used the TV series to raise their commercial value to the sky. Isn't this good for them?" Chen Chen snorted. "You have to look at things from the starting point, from when C Headquarters selected them. And you are the representative director of C Headquarters, so you have to look at it from the perspective of C Headquarters!"

“Teach me!”

Shirley responded and said nothing more.

……

After resting for a while, Kim Tae-ho brought three people to C headquarters.

"The assistant PD, main writer, and assistant writer were all members who were very pleasant to work with on Infinite Challenge at the time."

Kim Tae-ho briefly introduced the team members.

In fact, Chen Chen knew all of them. When he participated in the "Infinite Challenge Music Festival", these people were still in MBC. I didn't expect that they would all come out now.

"Well, hello." Chen Chen nodded to them as a greeting, "Sit down and talk."

"I called you here mainly to hear your voices." Chen Chen said, "If you know what the program is still lacking, what level of help it needs, or if you still don't understand something about the program, you can tell me now."

"I have a question." Jin Taihao took a sip of water and immediately raised his hand to ask, "Should the show focus on the guests or the show itself, or should it focus on the S branch?"

"The guests are the main focus." Chen Chen answered without hesitation: "For the program itself, the program serves the guests, and the S branch serves the program."

"As for the subsequent operations derived from the program, they have nothing to do with the program. They are something that the S Division has to complete on its own."

"Just focus on the show, do it well, and make the guests stand out as much as possible."

"But I see that's what your script says." Chen Chen looked at the people opposite him in confusion, "Why do you still have such doubts now?"

"..."

"It's mainly because I'm a little unwilling."

No one responded, so Kim Tae-ho had to speak for him.

"We are all members of the program production team, so we naturally hope to focus on the program. This will not only give us more room to play, but also increase the chances of the program achieving good results."

"Then you said that we need to operate the program for a long time. We think that long-term operation of the program must focus on the program itself." Jin Taihao explained: "Guests come and go, and the program itself can only last long if it stands firm."

"I see. It's a matter of height." Chen Chen laughed. "From your perspective, it's understandable to think this way. I can understand you, but how about you raise your angle a little higher and look at it from the sky?"

"Standing at the highest point and taking in the overall situation, you will find that the S Division is the store that sells goods, the guests are the customers who come to buy things, and the program team is the billboard for publicity."

"From this perspective, it should not be difficult to identify who is more important, apart from the high-ranking S Division."

“You think you are an important channel for transporting goods, but in fact it is not the case.”

"..." Chen Chen's voice was not loud, but it was definitely deafening. Everyone in the production team felt a little dizzy.

"S Division has completed the resource mobilization, right?"

Chen Chen looked at Shirley, giving the production team some room to think.

"No need to transfer, I plan to directly connect to the C headquarters system." Shirley replied: "It's just that when the S branch lists the display list, it will actively block some of the content, so as not to expose the C headquarters to the outside world."

"Also, I personally decided to put a few top resources on the list. Let me tell you about that." Shirley added: "Having these things on the list can enhance the style of S Branch and attract some customers that might not have been attracted otherwise."

"Well done." Chen Chen praised immediately, "This is an idea I couldn't think of!"

"It's just so-so." Shirley's face flushed slightly. "And I hope you can talk to the shopkeepers before the show. They really want to meet you."

"Why do they want to see me?" Chen Chen was a little confused. "The S branch should see you for matters that they are responsible for."

"Maybe I'm a little uneasy." Shirley replied, "They don't have much work to do but they get paid just as much. If I were you, I would also want to meet with the big boss to calm down."

"Ah?" Chen Chen just found it funny. "Hola and you both failed to suppress their anxiety?!"

"We know each other too well, so our words might be interpreted as polite words between acquaintances." Shirley sighed, "The image of the representative director of C headquarters and president of S branch has not yet been deeply rooted in people's hearts, at least not in the hearts of these people."

"Understood." Chen Chen nodded, "I will meet with them, and you will accompany me then."

"Thank you." Shirley said without hesitation, "Then let's set it for three days later. I'm sure you'll be free then."

"Okay, I've been free lately."

Chen Chen naturally had no objection.

"President Chen"

"Well, what happened?"

Hearing Jin Taihao calling him, Chen Chen turned around and responded.

I have happily decided with Shirley to meet with the shop owners, and I think Kim Tae-ho should have thought it through as well.

"We understand." Jin Taihao said seriously: "We will correct our attitude and do what we should do!"

"That's good." Chen Chen nodded and said, "Any other questions?"

"No more." Kim Tae-ho replied: "We hope to meet with the host as soon as possible to discuss various details. If possible, we also want to meet the guests before the show starts filming to understand their mentality."

"Can you arrange that?"

Chen Chen looked at Shirley.

"It can be arranged." Sulli assured Kim Tae-ho, "Jaejae will contact the production team tomorrow, and I will make separate plans for the guests."

"Thank you, Mr. Choi." Kim Tae-ho looked at Sulli gratefully, "We don't have any more requests."

"OK." Chen Chen clapped his hands twice to announce the start of the next step, "Let's go through the process!"

……

When I got home from get off work, the food that Bae Joo-hyun left before she left was right on the table.

She was busy with her return, so naturally she couldn't stay with Chen Chen at this time.

After dinner, Chen Chen looked through the information he brought back from the company and then gave a simple reply.

It was (G)I-DLE's business. Sulli was obviously a little too busy, so Chen Chen had to help out, pretending to help.

That's right, pretend.

Chen Chen obviously has no say in the matter of (G)I-DLE's comeback, but he has been in the South Korean entertainment industry for so long, he has eaten pork and seen pigs run, so it is not difficult for him to handle some basic issues.

Moreover, when it comes down to it, there are only a few things that go into an idol group's comeback, and no one can do anything fancy. It's nothing more than how much support is given in terms of resources, and what the quality of the resources is.

Does C headquarters have many resources? What is the quality of C headquarters' resources?

There’s not much to say, except that Chen Chen feels bad for his girlfriend, because Red Velvet has confirmed their comeback shortly after (G)I-DLE’s.

"Dingling bell~"

"Hmm?" Chen Chen picked up the phone. "Going out on the set? How did you have time to call me?"

"I can do whatever I want on the set of EDAM!" Li Zhien said arrogantly, "I'm going to give myself a two-week holiday starting tomorrow!
"What's going on? The studio actually gave the heroine two weeks off. Has the concentrated filming of the scenes come to an end?!" Chen Chen was not only surprised but also confused. "That's not right. The protagonist's scenes can never be finished no matter how much concentrated filming is!"

"There's an infected person on the set." Li Zhien hit Chen Chen back to reality with a stick, "All the actors and staff who have come into contact with the infected person need to rest."

"Ouch." Chen Chen was a little worried, and his voice was lowered. "Looking at your condition, you should be fine, right?"

"It's fine for now, and I don't know what will happen in the future." Li Zhien put on a carefree look, "I thought I was idle at home anyway, so I planned to start the album, and then when I return to the set to film, I will ask the company to work hard to prepare the album for me. After I finish filming the movie, I can go back to singing directly."

"You're a workaholic. Don't you want to give yourself some time to rest?" Chen Chen said worriedly, "Don't let the busy schedule overwhelm you instead of the virus."

"You are the only one who can suppress me." Li Zhien said with a slight smile, "Don't worry, I used to work like this, even busier than what we just talked about."

"Huh, you don't know." Li Zhien was a little proud, "When I'm on the set filming, I occasionally go out to take pictorials or something!"

"Oh, how come I don't know?" Chen Chen smacked his lips. "I may not know about your other jobs, but I know everything about the pictorial."

"Why?!"

IU looked very surprised, and her voice tone rose octaves.

"Oh, I see." She quickly responded, "Those products that require pictorials are customized through C headquarters."

"Forget it, I won't play with you anymore."

"I just called to tell you that I've started preparing for the album. I may call you more often to discuss music matters."

"We can't meet in person. I, a small employee, can't infect the major shareholder, so don't worry about me."

"That's it. See you after the movie is finished."
