In early March, "Street Fighter Girls Season 2" and "Queendom Season 2" produced by S.H.I.E. were launched together.

The super popularity brought about by the extremely high attention has caused discussions from all angles. There are both good and bad comments, but overall there are more praises.

The type of program means it's destined to be good, and the first episode has just been aired, so there's not much to find fault with.

The comparison with the first season produced by C headquarters has also become a hot topic. The result is... It's a draw at the moment, but the situation is not favorable for the second season.

The soy sauce bottle, who had originally decided to cause trouble, did not do so, thinking that it was not a good time to do so.

Of course, it is also possible that after seeing that these two programs failed to boost the share price of SM Entertainment, they felt that the other party did not pose a threat to them and decided not to do it.

Anyway, Chen Chen is not in a hurry at all. No matter if someone wants to buy promotion or someone wants to buy black press releases, they cannot avoid the Tik Tok platform.

At that time, they will enjoy the benefits of the program, the promotion bought by the Stupid Hat Company, and the smear bought by the Soy Sauce Bottle. The C headquarters will be very happy.

……

"It's time to go to the set."

Shirley came over with her bag to remind Chen Chen.

"Okay." Chen Chen glanced at the time. "It's getting late. We should have a quick meal and go home to sleep."

"Who's driving?"

Shirley swung the car keys in her hand twice, and her meaning was very clear.

"I'll drive." Chen Chen took the initiative to take over. "You're driving so slowly because you're waiting to be stuck in traffic and waste time, right?"

"..."

After simply picking up the things they needed, Chen Chen drove Shirley to the set of "Radiant".

Today is the day when the filming of "The Shining" is wrapped, so naturally the only two leaders of C headquarters have to go over to express their feelings.

According to the normal timeline, the TV series should have been broadcast halfway on JTBC TV station by now.

But Chen Chen is an abnormal person, so the timeline of this TV series is also abnormal.

First of all, as for the TV station, Chen Chen did not choose JTBC but chose MBC TV station, which was particularly eager for TV series produced by C headquarters because of "Sky Castle".

Who would refuse the chance of getting more money and being broadcast on wireless TV?
Secondly, if you change the TV station, the schedule must also change.

After the change, Chen Chen felt that he had plenty of time, so he changed "Dazzling" into a 100% pre-production mode, and the construction period was also extended a lot.

Finally, I am worried about Xu Xian.

Originally, the heroine of "Radiant" was Blue Dragon Film Award winner Han Ji-min, but now it is Xu Xian. Everyone understands the difference in status, so Chen Chen had to instruct the director to spend more energy and time to polish Xu Xian in every aspect.

As a result, "Radiant", which was supposed to finish airing in mid-March, had to start in mid-March and finish airing at the end of April, which had a significant impact.

"With the current schedule, does that mean that 'Radiant' has nothing to do with Baeksang Arts?"

Shirley, who was sitting in the passenger seat, asked as she put on makeup.

"If the Baeksang Awards on May 1st include a nomination for 'Radiant' which aired at the end of April, then it won't be called Baeksang Awards anymore. It should just be called 'C Headquarters Backdoor Awards'." Chen Chen complained, "I'm afraid its reputation will be combined with that of the Golden Bell Awards."

“The Golden Bell Awards are really…”

Shirley was familiar with this award in Taiwan and knew the consequences of its decline in recent years.

Shaking her head, Shirley suddenly became curious and asked, "Can we try to win the Hundred Flowers Award next year?"

"I don't know. It depends on how strong the next opponent is. It depends on whether there will be a dark horse next year." Chen Chen sighed, "Maybe I shouldn't have changed the time. Otherwise, I should have been able to win an award at the Hundred Flowers Awards. You, Seohyun, can also say that the TV series you starred in has achieved success." "You..." Shirley was immediately at a loss whether to laugh or cry, "You don't have to make her sound so miserable. There will still be opportunities in the future."

"This is the best script she has ever received in her career. She must have wanted to make some new breakthroughs, and winning a small award is the breakthrough she wants." The more Chen Chen spoke, the more regretful he felt. "Alas, I think I really did something wrong."

"Let's talk about it later." Shirley didn't let Chen Chen continue thinking, "We're going to meet the director and actors later, so you can't act like this."

……

Eating, chatting, giving out red envelopes, everything went on in an orderly manner and the final event was also very pleasant.

"The most beautiful smiles I saw today were the smiles of everyone when they received the red envelopes from you." Chen Chen looked at Shirley's bag while holding back his smile, "How much is left in there? Did you make all of them for me?"

"There's quite a bit left." Shirley opened the bag and took a look, then replied, "Many people go home after their work is done and are not here today, so you've saved a lot of money."

"Okay, that's good." Chen Chen then looked at Xu Xian, "It's time to go back to the company. Let your agent take your things away, and you come with us."

"Okay, Mr. President."

Xu Xian nodded slightly. She had no right to refuse.

After getting in the car, Sulli moved to the back seat and gave the passenger seat to Seohyun.

Xu Xian was a little frightened, but she had to nervously put her butt in the passenger seat.

……

Instead of starting the conversation right away, Chen Chen started the car and drove for a while.

When they reached a wide road with few cars, Chen Chen slowly started talking.

"First of all, congratulations on finishing the filming of a TV series, but you still have to run around for the promotion work that comes next." Chen Chen first chatted about a trivial question, "The company has arranged everything here, and you can get the itinerary from your agent when you go back."

"Okay, boss." Xu Xian still looked like a good kid, "I will definitely work hard."

"I completely trust you in terms of publicity. It goes without saying that idol-born artists have advantages in this regard. Let's talk about something more important now." Chen Chen got to the point. "During the time you were focusing on filming the TV series, resources from all over the world who wanted to find you have accumulated in the company. The company needs you to digest some of them as soon as possible."

"..."

Xu Xian tilted her head and looked at Chen Chen in confusion, not knowing what her boss meant by mentioning this to her. Couldn't the company just arrange it directly?
"For artists who are already capable of taking care of themselves, our company's policy is to release authority and let the artists make their own choices." Sulli added what Chen Chen didn't say in the back seat, "Doesn't Seohyun have her own studio? It would be more comfortable to gather them together to discuss what to do."

"I see." Xu Xian nodded and looked at Chen Chen hopefully, "Are there any movies or TV shows in it?"

"No." Chen Chen's answer was somewhat disappointing. "The resources that can be opened to artists for selection are all regular resources. Important resources such as film and television dramas still need to be allocated by the company."

"But C headquarters is not short of this. If you actively apply for it, new resources will come soon." Chen Chen added.

"I understand!" Xu Xian nodded heavily, "I will not let the boss down!"

She felt that she had fully understood what Chen Chen meant.

C headquarters has no shortage of TV series and movies, but if you want the company to really allocate them to you, you have to make sufficient contributions to the company and earn enough funds.

After all, it is almost impossible to make money from filming TV dramas, especially for someone of her current status, so she must use commercial value in other areas to fill the gap in film and television dramas!
Xu Xian felt that this was fair, and she was happy to accept such terms of the deal even though C headquarters never said where the limit would be.

But does Chen Chen think so?
No, his ideas are very simple.

C There aren't many artists in the headquarters to begin with. If we lock them all up to film a TV series, then what's the difference between the artists I worked so hard to find and not finding them at all?
No matter who you are, after finishing a film or TV series, you must go out and show your face to me! Don't do those nonsense things to me!

Make money? Making money is secondary. C headquarters has never made money from artists!
