The first thing to do when returning to the company is to review all recent documents.

Then Chen Chen discovered that Tik Tok’s first payment had arrived, and the other party was really eager to hold the “Idol Chicken Eating Contest”.

Yes, the name of this event is “Idol Chicken Eating Contest”, a name given by Tik Tok itself.

Chen Chen wanted to laugh when he saw the name, but he didn't dare to change the name that the sponsor had chosen himself. He could only throw the file far away so that he wouldn't have to worry about it.

The second thing.
"President Jin is here."

Shirley brought Jin Shidai to the office, and the three of them held a brief meeting.

"Integrate's fans are a bit troubled."

The Golden Age set a basic tone at the beginning.

"Let me tell you." Shirley handed Chen Chen a piece of data. "Compared to the peaceful and gentle approach you set, Integrate's fans are full of violent energy. It's common for them to start wars with people everywhere, and quarrels across circles and even fields are not uncommon."

"Based on observations during this period, there are two reasons for this phenomenon."

"One is your gentle policy. The members showed an overly soft attitude, which caused the fans to have a strong protective nature. They rushed forward and shouted that they wanted to protect their idols from being bullied."

"The other is C Headquarters and your current near-invincible position."

"Integrate is fine. The monster is a bit of a monster, but he is still a newcomer and is not qualified to step on others."

"But the girls' company, including the company's founder, the legendary Chen PD, is so powerful that fans naturally have a certain psychological advantage."

"If this side has a psychological advantage, then the other side will be at a disadvantage. After all, your previous move was quite scary."

"Even before the war started, one side was greatly superior and the other was greatly inferior. Needless to say, the outcome was going to be."

“So this is what’s happening now.”

"If it's hard to lose in a fight, who wouldn't like fighting? Especially those in the entertainment industry."

"The data shows the routes and topic concentration of recent fan activities. The themes of several major controversies are also listed here." Sulli stopped here and said, "Take a look first."

"Yeah, I'm watching." Chen Chen raised his head briefly and said with a smile, "Let's solve one thing first. We can't always call them fans. Does Integrate have an official name for fans?"

"How dare you say that?" Shirley rolled her eyes. "You let your fans discuss what name to give themselves, but no one cares. They're all fighting, so who has time to care about you?!"

"I understand." Chen Chen looked at President Jin, "Then please ask President Jin to come up with a name. We will still use fans to refer to it in this meeting."

"Do you want me to come?" Jin Shidai was a little surprised. "Why don't you come in person?"

"After all, you are the one in charge of their operations, so it's your turn to do it." Chen Chen shook his head. "And it's not an exaggeration to say that I'm helpless when it comes to naming. Normally, it takes me ten minutes just to come up with a title for a file."

"Then I am overstepping my authority."

Jin Shidai laughed and stopped being polite.

Chen Chen knew about the belligerence of Integrate fans yesterday, and he also talked about this issue a lot when he was having dinner and chatting with Red Velvet.

They are all acquaintances and family members, so the girls will not deliberately hide what they have seen and heard in order to take care of Chen Chen's feelings. They know that saying what they should say will better help their brother-in-law, the president.

"What does President Jin think about the fans' matter?" Chen Chen threw the data aside and asked Jin Shidai suddenly.

"I think it's not that serious, actually." Jinshidai didn't really care. "If we expand the circle, the fans' wars are basically still around idol singers. It's very common in the industry for some topics to escalate to the company level."

"The company's artists are one entity, and no one can break away from it alone."

"This level of bellicosity is actually a reflection of the vitality of the fan community. If you can't even find someone to fight, then the fan community is finished."

"It is understandable that fans started a war in the early stage. They want to establish themselves as a person who is not easy to mess with, just like the founding wars of dynasties in ancient times."

“Admittedly, there are quite a few topics that are quite excessive, but this is unavoidable.”

"Now that the war has begun, no one can care less. The important thing is to beat the opponent down as quickly as possible."

"So I don't think this problem is serious. As long as someone guides and sorts it out, it will be enough." Jinshidai's view is more concerned with the overall situation. "And we have been doing this recently. As the progress bar continues to move forward, we will definitely get the result we want in the end."

"Okay, I understand your opinions, so let me tell you mine." Chen Chen smiled and said, "Sorting out and guiding is the fundamental solution, and solving the current problem of fans' belligerence is the temporary solution. We can accomplish this together."

The phrase "treating the symptoms but not the root cause" sounds as if "treating the symptoms" is useless. In fact, it is not. It just allows you to invest resources in more appropriate directions when resources are insufficient.

A company with abundant resources like C Headquarters can choose to take it all and treat both the symptoms and the root cause at the same time.

"Since the work of sorting out and guiding is already underway, let's talk about how to address the symptoms." Chen Chen threw the question to Jin Shidai, "President Jin, what do you think?"

"Just fish a few sharks." Jin Shidai said casually, "Whether it's a fanatical fan or a veteran troll, catching a few sharks can almost solve most problems."

"Oh, by the way, we also need to kill those who are making trouble on the other side." Jin Shidai added: "We need to show our skills to the fans and create the impression that the company is superior. The most important thing is to show fairness and a little bit of partiality."

"It's almost the same as I thought." Chen Chen nodded with satisfaction, "Then let's do it. I'll leave this matter to you."

It is only natural for entertainment companies to attack the fans of their own artists. They have to do this to push themselves to the opposite side of the fans so that they can better handle fan affairs.

With the company as their biggest enemy, fans will have something to do and won’t be full of energy every day but have nothing to do but go out and fight with others.

What's the matter? Of course, it's to scold the company! No matter good or bad things happen to the artist, it's definitely okay to scold the company!

The relationship between artists and their companies will not be affected by fans. The relationship between artists and their companies mainly depends on internal harmony and whether there is sufficient supply of resources, which is also a very realistic issue.

It doesn't matter if it gets scolded by the company. Chen Chen has experienced it before and it doesn't hurt at all.

In this light, using yourself as bait to vent energy with fans is actually a very good choice.

There are better options, but they are more troublesome to operate and may easily cause other problems, and they may not necessarily make money.

Hiss~wait a minute!
So, S.A.I.P. is instigating aespa fans’ internal war in order to drain the fans’ energy?
Chen Chen suddenly began to understand this behavior that he had never understood before.

"Then I'll sort out the information I've collected and report back." Jin Shidai was unambiguous. "The information we've accumulated while guiding fans can help us quickly identify these treacherous people."

Chen Chen smiled simply.

"OK, I'll take action after receiving the information."
