When the live broadcast of "Music Bank" began, the audio source and MV of "Psycho" were released on major platforms at the same time, bringing a little bit of "crazy bitch" shock to Kpop listeners around the world.

"The Billboard champion came to South Korea to write a song. It was really a dimensional strike."

"This is crazy! Chen Chen is destroying the field of girl group songs. All girl group songs out there pale in comparison to "Psycho"!"

"What the hell is this? Can a work this interesting be considered a girl group song?!"

"This music quality makes me want to put headphones into my head"

"During the chorus, I always feel like I'm going to be drowned by the rising tide. Are there any friends who feel the same way?"

"Why do simple lyrics sound so powerful? Something is wrong."

"And the MV has a cinematic feel. SM must have spent a lot of money on it."

"If I get a work like this, I will smash the door if I spend one cent less!"

"Strong and beautiful, warm and powerful, it's hard to believe this is a Velvet creation."

"It's bad, the end of the year for other families is going to be bad!"

"..."

On the way back, the more Chen Chen read everyone's comments, the more strange it seemed to him. He discovered that the audience's appreciation level had greatly improved, and there were fewer illiterate star-chasers.

Of course, it may also be that Chen Chen has long been accustomed to turning a blind eye to such comments.

However, Chen Chen still caught a recurring word, "Wendy blonde".

There's nothing we can do about it. Son Seungwan's blonde hair in "Psycho" is so outstanding that both passers-by and fans will be moved when they see it.

In addition to "Psycho" sweeping the major charts, "Castle in the Sky" at number 30 also achieved impressive results.

The ratings have soared further, and it is estimated that in one or two more episodes it will reach the top student standard of 20 points.

If it can really reach twenty points or even go further, C headquarters will have thoroughly proved its strength.

The previously highly successful "My Mister" was broadcast on cable TV, so its quality was somewhat lower.

Although the SBS TV series "Model Taxi" has a good reputation, its actual ratings did not reach 20 points, which cannot be said to be a respectable result.

In other words, C headquarters only has a good reputation but no achievements in TV dramas, which is an embarrassing situation of being bright on the surface but empty on the inside.

I hope "Castle in the Sky" can change this not-so-good situation.

……

There was a slight accident.

The popularity of "Psycho" is predictable, and because the current Red Hair is stronger than the "previous" one, the performance has been further enhanced.

But even such results failed to help SMART return to the top.

That's right, Soy Sauce Bottle still stands above Stupid Hat Company with a slight advantage.

Although it is only a little bit higher, who can say that a little bit is not high? Anyway, the fact is that Soy Sauce Bottle is still the top entertainment company in South Korea.

Park Jin-young was very happy, and felt that he would have a lot to say during the year-end summary. However, his happiness only lasted for a while, specifically, only three days, because three days later, SM Entertainment announced a blockbuster news.

"We are pleased to tell you that Shamao has achieved remarkable results in variety show production."

"This April, the two shows, Queendom and Street Fighter, swept the variety show market, bringing everyone and us the most novel and exciting viewing experience."

"Since then, SM Entertainment has been targeting these two shows and working hard to figure out how modern variety shows can bring more fun to everyone."

"But it's impossible to really learn anything just by watching from afar, so we have been actively communicating with C headquarters."

"Not long ago, we finally got the production rights for the second season from C Headquarters. That means that "Queendom Season 2" and "Street Fighter Season 2" will soon be released under the production of S.H.I.P."

"Stay tuned."

He said a lot of nonsense just to announce that he had obtained the production rights for the second season of two previous popular programs of C headquarters. Chen Chen even suspected that the announcement was made by the verbose Lee Soo-man himself.

But this long-winded announcement became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and S.H.I.P. returned to the top spot with two scheduled hit variety shows.

Although the soy sauce bottle was helpless, it could only accept its fate. The remaining time was not enough for them to do anything.

Moreover, everyone in Jiangyouping is also very clear that the continued momentum of "Psycho" will definitely push up the share price of SM Entertainment further, and TWICE's comeback this time is completely overshadowed.

……

Near the end of the year, Chen Chen moved his office from C Headquarters to Soy Sauce Bottle, which would allow him to communicate with Park Jin Young at any time.

Artists are not the only ones who have to bear a lot of work at the end of the year. Entertainment company bosses also have their own things to do, and their work is no easier than that of the artists.

"Have you received the invitations to the Seoul Music Awards and the South Korean Golden Disc Awards?" Chen Chen quickly forwarded two emails to Park Jin-young. "Are the contents on them the same as what you received?"

"I got it. It's almost the same. What I received here are mainly some things related to the Soy Sauce Bottle artist." Park Jin-young frowned slightly and asked, "Didn't they invite you to be a judge this year?"

"No." Chen Chen grinned and said, "Maybe others think that my level is not good enough to be the judge, so I haven't thought about this kind of thing."

"It could be that." Park Jin-young wanted to make amends for him, but then he thought it was unnecessary. "It could be that because you are not South Korean, it is really hard for you to participate in this kind of thing."

"Many of the judges are foreigners."

Just because Chen Chen doesn't care doesn't mean he's willing to pretend to be blind. He doesn't accept this excuse.

"But it's an award with no gold content, so it doesn't matter." Chen Chen waved his hand. "Times are changing faster and faster, and this traditional award ceremony that has become a pork-sharing conference is less and less recognized by fans."

"If you win an award, people may forget about it in a month or two, but if you release a good song, people may remember it for ten or twenty years." Park Jin-young seemed to have a hint, "Your production level is really getting higher and higher."

"People always have to make progress." Chen Chen brought up the topic, "But after the release of Psycho, my path to writing girl group songs has been almost blocked. It's still a bit too difficult to surpass it."

"You are still young and have many opportunities." Park Jin-young consoled him, "At worst, you can just stay quiet for two years and focus on your development. When you come back, you will still be the top producer in South Korea."

"I just said that it's hard to write girl group songs, but I didn't say that we can't write them." Chen Chen raised his eyebrows, making Park Jin Young's consolation fall into vain. "Besides, there are so many types of music works, you can write anything."

"I shouldn't have comforted you, kid. What a waste of words." Park Jin-young suddenly thought of something and asked, "Didn't Cube Entertainment have any artists appear at these two award ceremonies?"
