star of the peninsula

Although "Radiant" performed much better than "Hotel Del Luna" in terms of performance, it is far less talked about. Netizens still prefer to have various discussions based on the topic.

As for things like the Baeksang Awards, when they are useful to me, they have high value, and when they are useless, they have no value. People's views on them have always been in a very flexible state.

Moreover, with the popularization of the Internet, the value of various television awards and film awards has been declining.

Everyone doesn't care about so many things. Everyone thinks that only the things they think are good and that they like to watch should win awards. The way you people in the industry are doing things is too far away from ordinary audiences and is out of touch with reality.

The influence of awards is already declining, and if you still give out awards a long time after the broadcast, the influence will drop further. It can almost be said that all awards except for the most important ones are useless.

In this case, if we calculate the current time and production progress, if nothing unexpected happens, the three TV series "Sky Castle", "Radiant" and "Hotel Del Luna" will be released one after another.

Oh hey~
If you have friends who know Korean entertainment like Chen Chen, they should be able to understand Xu Xian's embarrassing situation just by looking at these three names. It is indeed quite embarrassing.

……

"Lee Ji-eun, please come to C headquarters after your contract with KakaoM expires."

After finishing the meal and cleaning up the kitchen, Chen Chen suddenly spoke.

"What nonsense are you talking about again!" Li Zhien was frightened again, "Just because I just made a joke that I was the best actor in C headquarters, you want to do this? You are too petty!"

"I'm not being petty, I really need an all-round artist to help me expand my territory, and you're the only one I like in South Korea." Chen Chen said helplessly, "I don't have that much time to train myself, and it's impossible for me to pick up this opportunity if I catch someone temporarily, so no matter how I think about it, it has to be you!"

"No, it really wasn't me, it must be someone else!" Li Zhien waved her hands repeatedly, chattering, "I won't leave, I have to maintain a good relationship with the company, I can't think that I'm doing well in my career and forget who rescued me."

"If you want to find an all-round artist, it's pretty easy to find one. Don't you have Hara? When her contract expires, she will definitely be willing to go to C headquarters to help you."

"How about I recommend you another one, Liu Renna?"

"She has good acting skills, is pretty, and has a good figure. She started out as a singer, and can act and sing."

"The key is that she is still a crooked chicken. You are former colleagues! It must be a good thing for former colleagues to gather together. At least I think it's not bad."

"If that doesn't work, there's still Jiyeon!"

"I don't need to explain Jiyeon much, you must know! She has acted on TV before, and she's pretty good, so she's qualified for you to use!"

"I just can't do it, I really can't do it!"

Li Zhien opened her little mouth and sold out all the girlfriends around her, which made Chen Chen laugh.

"Okay, I know how much you resist going to C headquarters, I won't mention this matter anymore." Chen Chen smiled and held her in his arms, "I just want an artist like that too much. Without such a person, I always feel that this company is not comfortable."

"Looking at other entertainment companies, they all have a very strong pillar that allows them to develop slowly. My C headquarters does not have such a person, which leads to vacancies in the middle and a lot of high-quality resources cannot be digested." The more Chen Chen complained, the more uncomfortable he felt. "I'm so angry. I feel uncomfortable running a company that always feels flawed."

"Actually, there is. You are the pillar artist of C headquarters. But your pillar is too high. It directly breaks through the restrictions of the entertainment company. That's why you feel it doesn't exist." IU couldn't hold back his laughter. "Other pillars are supporting the roof of the company. You poked a hole in the roof and are flying with it. If you don't feel uncomfortable, who will?!" "But didn't C headquarters sign Seohyun recently? She's not okay?" IU asked curiously.

"It has some potential, but it still needs time to develop." Chen Chen couldn't help but sigh, "I don't have time, so I want one that I can use right away."

"Then let's wait for next year's Suzy. She's the only one we can get right now." Li Zhien spread her hands, imitating what Chen Chen often did. "The pillars of other companies will either not be released or their contracts are still very long. There's no chance for C headquarters."

"Hiss~ I know Suzy's contract is about to expire, so it's normal. How did you know that?" Chen Chen tilted his head and smelled the fragrance of her hair. "From what you said, it seems that you are quite concerned about this kind of thing."

"Because we are in direct competition, the quality of the contract is also a part of the competition. Whoever signs a bad contract will be laughed at." Li Zhien pushed her hair aside and kissed Chen Chen directly. "And everyone is very concerned about this matter, because everyone can see that Suzy is leaving the idol company and moving to an actor company."

"C headquarters must work hard this time. You are not at an advantage. There are many pure actor companies that are better than you." Li Zhien couldn't help laughing again, "Finally, everyone has caught you at a disadvantage. Your colleagues will be craning their necks to see how you perform! I am also looking forward to what miracles you can create in this disadvantageous situation. Just don't give up."

"I don't think it's a big problem." Chen Chen replied, "Based on the vision of C headquarters in selecting scripts and the abundant resources that have been continuously producing TV series, I should be considered an upper-class player, at least I can't be at a disadvantage."

"Where are your connections, baby?" It was finally Li Zhien's turn to teach someone a lesson. The girl seemed particularly excited. "Without connections, how will the best resources come to you in the future? How will you win awards in the future? Without awards, how can you say that your actors are better than others?! The film and television industry is about qualifications and connections. It's not a place where you can just use your strength to get things done."

"No." Chen Chen shook his head slightly. "If you can't do something with your might, it's definitely because you're not strong enough, and you're using the wrong thing to smash it. As long as you use the right thing to smash it, you can always break it if you have enough strength."

For example, Squidward Games.

Standing at this position now, Chen Chen finally understood why "Squid Game" became popular all over the world.

Because Netflix hit hard enough and the location of the hit was precise enough.

Regardless of how many people have actually watched "Squidward Gone Wild" and how many are just following the trend, is this TV show really that good for those who have watched it?
The subject matter? Actually, it’s not new enough, as this type of work has appeared many times before.

Production? Decent, but far from top notch.

Acting? Korean acting is indeed excellent, but how can it conquer the world? Has everyone's aesthetic taste for watching dramas suddenly become unified?

Not to mention the Korean values ​​in it, this thing does not have a strong influence in the world.

In addition, the decline in performance in the later stages is an objective reality, but it has never been a particularly big rhythm.

Combined with the fact that many influential KOLs in the world suddenly posted on social platforms that they thought Squid Game was good.
Chen Chen would summarize it as an excellent marketing campaign. I wonder what you think.

So, it is really possible to make bricks fly with great strength, and the disadvantage of C headquarters is no longer as great as it was decades ago.

The only problem Chen Chen had to face when pursuing Suzy was how to make Suzy believe that C headquarters was also capable of “making bricks fly”.
