star of the peninsula

The person behind Suzy is naturally Zhao Yixian, a young actress born in 1999.

There was nothing special about calling her over, I just wanted to give her the script of "Zombie School".

"Hello, President. Hello, Executive Director Choi."

Zhao Yixian pushed the door open nervously and greeted the two of them nervously. She didn't know where to put her hands and her blushing face showed off the aura of a lovely newcomer.

"Hello, please sit down here."

Shirley pointed her to the seat opposite the desk and poured a glass of water for the new actor in a disposable cup.

"Do you know the guy sitting over there?"

Instead of starting the conversation right away, Shirley pointed at Chen Chen on the other side.

"I know him!" Zhao Yixian nodded heavily, her tone full of excitement, "He's the most outstanding producer in South Korea and the most powerful entertainment company owner in South Korea!"

"Ha, that's a very accurate description." Shirley glanced over here and said with a hint of suggestion: "He picked you out of the pile of abandoned contracts after the restructuring of the Soy Sauce Bottle Actor Department."

"Thank you, President Chen Chen!"

The silly child stood up excitedly and bowed to Chen Chen.

"You don't need to thank me. Thank your talent and thank yourself for studying hard in college."

Chen Chen waved his hands and spoke very modestly.

"Then I'll tell you about some things that happened after entering the company." Sulli coughed lightly to draw Zhao Yixian's attention back to her. "C headquarters is currently short of artist employees, so every newcomer will receive something similar to a welcome gift."

"Your senior Seohyun got a script, senior Hara got some fashion resources, and the newly arrived senior Suzy also got a script." Sulli stopped here and temporarily changed the topic, "Did you see her when you came here?"

"I saw it." Zhao Yixian nodded, "He did have a stack of documents in his hand. Now it looks like it should be the script."

"So what do you want your meeting gift to be?"

Shirley gave her a multiple-choice question without any options, and no matter what she said, Shirley would give her a script of "Zombie School".

"My dream has always been to be a musical actor, and I have been working towards this goal since I was in the third grade of junior high school."

Zhao Yixian started by talking about herself as a child and then talked about her dreams.

Chen Chen and Shirley looked at each other and both noticed a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes.

Young people who have just entered the workplace always like to talk about their dreams, and the entertainment industry is no exception, but a person's dreams can be extinguished faster here than anywhere else.

"But after I was admitted to the musical theater department in high school, I found that I was not good at singing. It seemed that this dream would never be realized in my lifetime." Zhao Yixian was unaware and continued to talk about her own story. "So I chose acting as my second favorite direction to work hard, and eventually became a student in the Department of Drama and Film and became an actor."

"If I had a choice, I would definitely put musical actors first."

"But I know I have no choice but to take a roundabout way to save the country. I choose to achieve success in other fields and then try to see if there is a musical with lower requirements that will choose me."

"Ah, I think I got off topic. Sorry, sorry!" Zhao Yixian's fair face turned red all of a sudden. After hastily apologizing, she gave a perfunctory answer, "Any gift is fine. I'm not qualified to choose."

"Then I'll pick a script for you too." Shirley nodded and said, "There aren't any particularly suitable resources to feed you a newcomer right now."

"Thank you, Mr. Executive." Zhao Yixian stood up and bowed, not forgetting Chen Chen, "Thank you, Mr. President, as well."

"You can go back first." Shirley raised her chin towards her. "Your agent will send the script to you in a few days. Please pay attention to receive it."

"Yes." Zhao Yixian lowered his head obediently, "Goodbye, President, and goodbye, Executive Director." "..."

"Were you like this when you were a rookie? You looked innocent, like someone who would help others count money even if they were sold out, and your skin was so tender that it would ooze out water if you pinched it."

After being silent for a full half minute, Chen Chen spoke his first sentence.

"Others may be like this, but I definitely don't." Shirley snorted proudly, "I debuted as a child star! I had plenty of experience from the beginning!"

"Okay, you're awesome~" Chen Chen praised perfunctorily, and then he spoke his mind, "Ah, now I understand what some people mean by the beauty of a newcomer. It's a series of excellent qualities that can easily touch people's sympathy, such as hard work, simplicity, kindness, curiosity, etc."

"But it also has its limits. Only those whose edges have been smoothed by society will be briefly moved by these shining qualities." Chen Chen shook his head. "In other words, the beauty of newcomers is only useful to the old fans in the fan circle."

"As long as it's useful, why bother about it so much." Shirley pouted and asked, "Will your Integrate have the so-called new beauty?"

"After entering the C headquarters, I almost isolated them from the circle. All the knowledge they received from the teachers was just theory." Chen Chen smacked his lips. "Some of them encountered setbacks in the early days of their debut. I hope everyone can be tolerant and call this 'new beauty'."

"It is indeed easy to cause various hidden dangers when a group of people who have only trained on the sand table are thrown directly into the real battlefield." Shirley couldn't help but complain when she saw Chen Chen's relaxed look, "But Integrate is strong! Its strong strength can cover up all problems and provide the team with unlimited room for error, so you are so confident."

"Come to think of it, you haven't told me how many support points Integrate has." Shirley came to Chen Chen and poked him a few times with her elbow. "How many are there?"

"About four or five. I haven't really thought about calculating it." Chen Chen said casually, "I don't know how many will come out, and I don't know if anyone will emerge as a dark horse. The continuous follow-up observation and operation is the unique pleasure I can get from Integrate."

"So the development system that the fans didn't get to play with is now available to you?!" After complaining, Shirley happily went to calculate it herself, "Just count it as four, let me guess your idea!"

"It's OK to count the little Sakura and Yuanying at the head and tail as one each, so that's two."

"It's already considered a pretty good vocal group among idols, so there are three now."

"There is a chance that one of the all-rounders will become a hit, and we'll count him as the fourth one."

"How's it going, Chen Chen? I just randomly sorted out four for you. You should be satisfied, right?" Shirley turned around excitedly, but was met with a strange expression from Chen Chen. She was immediately unhappy. "What do you mean? Did I say all of them wrong?!"

"No, but I didn't expect you to be so confident in the girls." Chen Chen quickly changed his expression and replied, "I don't have that much confidence in the girls. I'm more concerned about the group and the company as a whole."

"For example, their producers can produce excellent works, which is a strong support point."

"The C headquarters has Tik Tok, which is another support point."

"They are more likely to enter the Chinese market than other idol groups, and this is the third one."

"That's it." Chen Chen spread his hands, "This is my algorithm."

“This is a very safe way of calculating.”

Shirley felt that the man in front of her was so steady that his enemies would feel a toothache, because she herself felt a toothache.

"What about the fourth one? Is there no more?" Shirley asked viciously.

"I didn't think of it for the moment." Chen Chen smiled and rubbed her head, "Let's look for it later."

The fourth one is Chen Chen’s secret weapon, called the squad plan.

Integrate is capable of forming temporary groups such as the "Dwarf King Team" and the "aespa Team" that can bring extraordinary impact to fans, which is enough to support the fourth point.

The advantage of other groups may be one member at a time, but the advantage of Integrate is inherently several levels higher than yours. What can you use to play with me?
What's more, how could the members personally selected by Chen be worse than you?
