If Cube Entertainment was looking for trouble at any other time period, Chen Chen would not be so kind as to remind Boss Hong, but it really cannot be done now.

Chen Chen doesn’t have enough money now, so even if Cube Entertainment kills him, he can’t take it all.

We can't let Chen Chen give up the starship at this point and just focus on Cube Entertainment.
Hiss~ Wait a minute, it seems that it is not impossible. You can make much more money by taking a bite of Cube Entertainment now than by taking a bite of Starship!

How about going back and talking to Hong Shengcheng and giving him a push?
What is your friendship with Mr. Hong? What are some good memories with the idol group of Cube Entertainment?
Stop it, who cares about company matters? This is not a child's game, you still have to be killed!

But this can only be a joke. This approach is inappropriate from any perspective, and Chen Chen doesn't have the courage to do it.

If both sides open fire at the same time, it will be C headquarters that will be besieged, because the benefits that can be distributed by destroying C headquarters may be more than those of the other two combined, and the besieged C headquarters will definitely be served on the table.

C headquarters is not really invincible, people will die if they are killed.

……

After taking a taxi back to the company, Chen Chen sat in his seat and first glanced at the ratings of "Model Taxi 2", then boldly called JTBC TV station to ask for money.

"Model Taxi 2" began airing on JTBC TV on July , and its performance continued the excellent performance of the first season.

Even because the first season was broadcast on a free wireless TV station, the second season attracted a large amount of traffic to JTBC TV station when the production news was announced.

Regarding production and broadcasting, "Model Taxi 2" was originally scheduled to be released later than "Hotel Del Luna" on July th, and Chen Chen also thinks so.

After all, one is nearing completion in production, while the other hasn’t even started to assemble its production team, the difference is simply too big.

But JTBC TV station is really powerful. They put together the cast so quickly that in just half a month, the production team was ready to start filming. It's quite exaggerated.

To the extent that Chen Chen often regretted whether he asked them for too little, thinking that they would definitely be able to pay more!

"Have you received the application from the crew?"

After Chen Chen finished the call, Shirley asked a question.

"Just write it now. As the producer, I have the final say on the money issue."

As Chen Chen spoke, he opened the desktop document, skillfully copied it, and then changed a few words and key dates and was done.

"Here, it's finished." Chen Chen passed a copy to Shirley, "Send it using the official account and wait for the payment."

"OK, we don't have to worry if we have a formal charter." When Shirley did a second review, she didn't forget to ask, "Where did we make the difference?"

"Props and crew food." Chen Chen bluntly showed his profiteer side, not hiding anything. "You will know after you look at the billing in this regard."

"Some of the props are indeed valuable, but no matter how valuable they are, they are not as valuable as written. A considerable part of them is the same as the US military buying screws."

"The catering aspect is even simpler. The supply channels of Alin Canteen and C Circle can ensure that we can get good ingredients at low prices. We just need to provide chefs."

“So the actors and various staff members do eat very well, but it’s also true that the food is not very expensive.”

"After that, no one can give an exact stipulation for the various labor costs, and there is a lot of water in this aspect." "After these items, we have almost taken what we should take." Chen Chen spread his hands, "Although it is still not a lot if you look at the overall situation from a high point, it is not a small amount. After all, not affecting the quality of the work is the red line I set."

Chen Chen suddenly felt emotional when he said this, because he thought of the domestic films and TV series that received huge investments but presented very bad pictures to the audience.

“You squeezed out one layer here, and there might be two more layers below.” Shirley opened her mouth in surprise as if she realized it for the first time, “So South Korean TV drama production is actually very cheap?!”

"The South Korean film and television production system is mature. You can be called a film and television production factory. Naturally, the price can't be high." Chen Chen smiled, stood up and took two bottles of drinks from the refrigerator and handed one to Shirley. "It's their ability to save money while ensuring quality. I can't control it and don't want to control it. We must let others make some money. If we take all the benefits for ourselves, we will have no friends."

"No matter what we do, we must make fewer enemies and more friends." Chen Chen returned to his seat and sat down. "This is what my great Chinese leader said. The more I grow, the more I realize how powerful he is."

"With what you did to the starship, you can still say that you have lost a lot of friends? I guess they won't be able to survive after this." Shirley rolled her eyes at him, "Chen has done all kinds of bad things!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Chen Chen slammed the table and said righteously, "I don't allow you to sow discord between me and my best friend, the president of Golden Era!"

"..."

"You are so shameless."

Shirley held it in for a long time before finally uttering something.

"I'm not kidding, I'm really his best friend." Chen Chen continued to be shameless, "Everyone else wants to tear the starship apart and share the profits, but I'm the only one who bought its shares and stands on the same boat with President Jin. Isn't this enough loyalty?!"

No matter how KakaoM is divided, idols, singers and other artists will definitely follow Starship. Although Starship's foundation has become dilapidated, it is not bad at all. If it can be repaired, it will still have excellent earning power.

However, this is a long-term project, and other entertainment companies will certainly not wait. They want to snatch Starship's resources, take away its market, and compete for its financial backers, which is an approach that can bring huge benefits in the short term.

Therefore, if we look at these two parts separately, it is clear that the C headquarters that acquired Starship shares is a "friendly army" that is waiting for Starship to catch its breath and hoping that it can have a second spring.

"Soon you won't be the only one who is friends with President Jin!" Shirley said stubbornly, "Your eagerness to buy shares must have made many people anxious. They will buy too!"

"Just let them buy it. I can't stop them." Chen Chen suddenly sat up straight and looked at Shirley seriously. "Let's talk about our next move, tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" Shirley hurriedly brought over a pen and paper. "What should we do?"

"Announce your intention to sell the newly acquired Starship shares in a high-profile manner tomorrow morning. It would be best if you also act a little bit angry."

Chen Chen spoke very seriously, but Shirley could hardly hold the paper and pen while listening.

"You are going to offend KakaoM to death!"

"Also, you have the nerve to say that you are President Jin's ally?!"

Shirley felt a sharp pain in her teeth, and the muscles on her face unconsciously tensed up even more.
