Chapter 818 Let’s shoot a group show
Park Jin-young has been having a hard time lately, and after summarizing everything, he feels that all the problems lie with Chen Chen.

"Well, it's really my fault." Chen Chen rarely showed any resistance when being held accountable. He even wanted to make compensation. "How about this, I won't charge you for the song. Just give it away for free."

"So generous? I was just joking!" Park Jin-young was surprised and said, "Everyone is operating normally. It is inevitable that they will affect each other. No one should be held responsible for this."

"But the soy sauce bottle has indeed been affected to a great extent, and I am willing to compensate it a little." Chen Chen shook his head slightly, "Besides, I only paid for one song. Although the frequency of my songwriting has decreased a lot, it is still not a valuable thing."

"The frequency of songwriting has decreased?" Park Jin-young jumped up when he heard this. "Where has it decreased? I want to ask you, where has it decreased?!"

"Uh, this, hehe."

Chen Chen touched his nose embarrassedly.

I am sorry, but as Cube Entertainment has set and announced the date for BTOB and CLC's next comeback, Chen Chen has not dared to come to Soy Sauce Ping recently.

Because Cube Entertainment has set the date to February or March next year, a time point that makes Jiangyouping very uncomfortable.

ITZY's February debut was actually decided within the group a long time ago, and it's not a secret in the circle, everyone knows about it.

In other words, Cube Entertainment chose this time to deliberately target Jiangyouping because of some previous grudges.

Entertainment companies are not always harmonious with each other. It is common for them to offend each other and compensate each other. But this time, Cube Entertainment used Chen Chen's work to retaliate against Jiangyouping, which really made Chen Chen feel uncomfortable being caught in the middle.

"It's lower than when it first started. After all, we don't need to sell it for money anymore."

Chen Chen found a good excuse.

"Yeah, now I don't have to sell it for money, I'll use it to exchange for favors." Park Jin-young squinted and said, "Damn genius, I'm really jealous!"

"Okay, okay, Brother Zhenying definitely didn't ask me to come here to talk about this, let's get to the point." Chen Chen didn't pick up the topic, "Which do you want to talk about? Film and television dramas or the catering industry, or is the soy sauce bottle ready to 'forgive' the Chinese market."

The fact that Lee Ji-eun took on the script for C's TV series caused quite a stir in South Korea. After all, their last collaboration, "My Mister," was so successful that people couldn't help but pay attention.

There is also news about the song "Radiant" for Seohyun. The content and format are exactly the same as the one for Lee Ji-eun, and it is just as popular.

Originally, the popularity was definitely lower, mainly because everyone only now knew that Xu Xian had quietly joined C headquarters, and the onlookers contributed a lot.

Regarding film and television dramas, Jiangyouping must have something to talk about with Chen Chen.

The reason I mention catering is because the "C Circle" has started its first step of expansion and began to attract small catering shops to settle in around the C headquarters.

Not to mention, the method that ultimately survived the fierce competition in the Chinese market is indeed useful. Although I encountered some minor troubles at the very beginning, things immediately became much smoother after I started to implement it, and the results have reached a level that would make those who are interested in it astonished.

As for the last sentence "forgive" the Chinese market, it is purely a joke, referring to the fact that Jiangyouping may want TWICE to establish a relationship with C headquarters and change the distributor.

"If possible, I would like to talk about everything, but we don't have enough time today so let's just talk about the Chinese market." Park Jin Young continued, "Red Velvet has already boarded the ship, and it's our turn, TWICE."

"TWICE is behind BLACKPINK." Chen Chen said without any hesitation, "It's hard for you to get in if they don't get in." "Why?" Park Jin Young was puzzled, "Are we worse than Weiji?"

"In terms of being bad, Waiji is worse. It doesn't have a good reputation in the Chinese market, but it's not the same when it comes to individual artists and groups." Chen Chen spread his hands. "No one can pretend that what happened before never happened, and Jiangyouping's response at the time was also very lame. Now it's time to pay the price for what happened in the past, there's no getting away from it."

"You mean we have to wait for Waiji to help us step on the landmine first?" Park Jin-young's brows relaxed a little. "If the worse ones go in first, people will be more tolerant of us."

"Yes." Chen Chen nodded with a smile. "Penguin has taken so many shares of Waiji, so it will definitely exert its strength in certain matters. Soy Sauce Bottle can just follow the path opened by Waiji."

"So how long will BLACKPINK be there?" Park Jin Young asked.

"I don't know." Chen Chen replied: "They are on tour now, so I don't have a specific answer."

"..."

Park Jin-young was speechless for a while; he couldn't wait any longer.

"I'm under a lot of pressure right now, you know?" Park Jin-young's opening move was heavy, suppressing Chen Chen's playful smile. "Soy Sauce Bottle has not been able to regain its position since it fell from the first place. In fact, due to the successive return of EXO and Red Velvet, the gap has been widened."

"Although TWICE will also return in November, two fists are no match for four hands, and they will eventually be separated."

"The board of directors kept putting pressure on me, so I had to take the initiative to do something to get back to the top spot."

"After thinking about it, I can only ask you for help. As long as TWICE can create a new record, the stock price will definitely rise after the topic becomes popular. It is not impossible to take the first place from SM Entertainment."

"So you can understand that I'm asking you for help, and I'm asking you for help very seriously." Park Jin-young pleaded, "Now it's the end of October. If Soy Sauce Bottle can be ranked first by the end of this year, we can shamelessly say that we have completely defeated SMART this year. And this should be a record that can be written into the company's history. It's very important."

Of course Chen Chen knew about TWICE's comeback in November. They made a comeback right after the performance, which is an old tradition.

He even knew that the songs that had been squeezed out in the past had all returned in this comeback, and the conclusion of the world line was taking place all the time.

But Chen Chen disagreed with the saying that two fists cannot beat four hands, because if we expand it to the level of the entire entertainment company, the opponent is fighting in a round-robin battle rather than outnumbering the minority.

The top girl group will not lose to anyone. Soy Sauce Bottle only needs to extend TWICE's battle line, and extending the battle line is what Soy Sauce Bottle is best at.

Comprehensive considerations
"Let's shoot a group variety show for TWICE." Chen Chen said, "It will be enough to go to Huaxia to shoot a group variety show for a week."

"How can it work?!" Park Jin-young was anxious. "Group shows are for fans to watch. The stock price must be driven by the general public. But how can the general public watch our group show? It doesn't have that much influence!"

"I suggest you listen to the details before you speak." Chen Chen tapped the edge of the table with his fingers regularly, his eyes stern, "What if C headquarters lends the production team of "New Journey to the West" to Jiangyouping as the group variety show production team?"
