"The contract signed today is for the costume sponsorship of the heroine. The other party's offer is very high and his status is quite powerful, but you don't need to pay special attention or be nervous."

Before going in, Chen Chen spoke to Shirley and told her not to be nervous.

"Why shouldn't advertisers with high status and big spending care about this?" Shirley was a little confused. "Isn't this unreasonable?"

"Because they came here purely for Lee Ji-eun. Without Lee Ji-eun, there would be no sponsorship." Chen Chen explained, "This kind of advertiser cannot be developed into a stable cooperation target. It is better to maintain a high profile and let them look up to C headquarters."

"Oh, I see." Shirley smiled. "This situation is quite common, especially for entertainment companies."

"What do you mean?" Chen Chen was a little surprised. "Why would I, the boss of an entertainment company, not know about something that is very common in entertainment companies?"

"It's the same as when many advertisers take a fancy to a member of an idol group and want to sponsor them individually. However, the film and television industry generally accepts it, but the idol companies generally refuse it." Sulli teased, "Now you know why you don't understand, it all makes sense."

"Because the idol group of C headquarters has not debuted yet, I have already released the news that Integrate will not be involved in any commercial activities before its debut." Chen Chen sighed, "But in fact, I should be very familiar with this situation. Irene has experienced it a lot."

"At SMART, everything is based on the group, because the group brand is completely owned by SMART in terms of business." Shirley patted Chen Chen on the back, "But don't tell others about it, you will definitely be like this in the future."

"Yes, I will definitely do the same." Chen Chen took a deep breath, "Everyone should do his job."

……

Director Wu Zhonghuan and screenwriters the Hong sisters were also there, and after seeing off the advertisers, they were able to chat for a while.

“Isn’t it a bit too risky to shoot 100% in advance?” Wu Zhonghuan raised the question carefully. “Shooting and broadcasting at the same time can effectively collect audience opinions and make adjustments at any time, which will eventually get better results.”

“Do the two screenwriters think so too?”

Chen Chen looked at the Hong sisters.

"Yes." Hong Jingen said: "No matter how good a screenwriter is, he cannot guarantee that what he writes will satisfy the audience 100%. It is very important to collect audience opinions during the filming process."

"Everyone should have heard of the idiom that it is difficult to satisfy everyone, so I won't elaborate on it." Chen Chen took a sip of water, stood up and expressed his opinion, "We definitely can't satisfy all the audiences, and when the audiences watch TV, they don't consider the difficulties in production and the problems in the subsequent scripts."

"If we say that our production team is building a high-rise building and needs to consider the overall problem, except for a few viewers who are particularly appreciative, most people can often be considered to be focused on whether a certain floor is beautiful or not."

"That is to say, it is enough to consider 30% of their opinions, unless they are the kind that can shake the foundation of the building."

"But it is impossible for such a problem to shake the foundation of the building to exist. Our screenwriters are the Hong sisters. If such a thing existed in the script, it would have been caught and corrected long ago."

"So my conclusion is," Chen Chen said seriously, pressing his hands on the table, "Instead of putting pressure on ourselves and the post-production staff while filming and broadcasting, why don't we work together to refine the script and turn it into a perfect script that will satisfy 80% of the audience!"

"..."

Everyone was silent.

On the one hand, I think it's a bit outrageous to say that the audience's opinions are not important, and on the other hand, I really think Chen Chen's statement makes sense, and Chen Chen's momentum is also a bit intimidating. "Anyway, the filming will start at the end of the year, so we should continue to prepare during this period, and we should be able to work hard to focus on the script and chat in the remaining time." Chen Chen struck while the iron was hot, "I think there is enough time, what about you guys?"

"It should be feasible." Hong Jingen was the first to say, "Rather than modifying the script based on the audience's opinions, the opinions of us practitioners are definitely more valuable as a reference."

"Then I have no objection." Wu Zhonghuan readily agreed, "President Chen Chen has never made a mistake. I completely trust President Chen Chen!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the previous topic was completely over. Whether it was Chen Chen's position in the production team or his position in the circle, they could not challenge it.

After seeing off the production team members again, the only ones left were Lee Ji-eun, Sulli and Chen Chen, who shared the same quilt. They were as relaxed as they could be when chatting.

However, the other two best friends obviously didn't have Chen Chen in their minds at the moment. They were chatting happily among themselves without even glancing at this side.

Embarrassed Chen Chen could only lower his head to play with his mobile phone, trying to find out if there were any interesting things happening in the circle recently, and at the same time think about which part of "Hotel Del Luna" particularly attracted the attention of netizens.

The reason why he dared to propose the idea of ​​refining the script by himself regardless of the audience's reaction was because he, Chen, could be completely regarded as the representative of the later audience.

The scene in the first episode of "Hotel Del Luna" where Lee Ji-eun shot and killed someone dominated the hot searches in China for two days. Chen Chen was attracted after clicking on this hot search, and then he watched the whole drama with many netizens.

If Chen Chen cannot represent the audience, then no one can.

The only bad thing is that Chen Chen is a little bit uncertain, unsure, and a little bit nervous, because Chen Chen's mind is filled with the various opinions of Chinese audiences on this drama, and "Hotel Del Luna" is a Korean drama that will be broadcast in South Korea.

Forget it, there’s no point worrying so much. People’s aesthetic tastes for TV dramas won’t be too different. So let it be.

Besides, Chen Chen has something else to consider.
This was the first time he met Wu Zhonghuan. He only knew that he directed "While You Were Sleeping" and was considered a capable director. He didn't expect to find out that "Big Mouse" was also his work after meeting him.

You may not be familiar with "Big Mouse". In China, it is generally called "Lawyer", with Lee Jong Suk as the male lead and Lim Yoona as the female lead.

The usual excellent start and the usual lame ending, but South Koreans seem to be used to this pattern, so the overall ratings are pretty good and the reviews are OK.

It should be nice to play with it. Even if it can't be used as the signature of C headquarters, it can at least be a topic to attract some traffic.

"Hey~" I don't know when, Li Zhien came over, "I heard that you gave other things to Shirley again, are you bullying me?!"

"The more capable you are, the more work you should do." Chen Chen and Li Zhien no longer had to hide anything. "Sulli even gave up being an actress. I won't let her stop at the position of creative director."

"You still have some conscience." Li Zhien reminded: "But don't make her too hard, you know she is in poor health."

Chen Chen was slightly stunned. He indeed hadn't cared about health matters for a long time.
