Chen Chen gave the songs to the girls before he went on the trip, so the recording process is naturally progressing very quickly.

To be honest, if the members' vocal abilities are good enough, recording songs is really fun. Not only is the smoothness of each part comparable to a certain brand of chocolate, but the enjoyment is also very high.

Chen Chen started recording songs at ten o'clock and finished the recording of these songs before two in the morning. He felt that it was a bit too fast.

However, the battle tonight is not over yet. After the starting four-member group goes back, the icing on the cake group will come one by one.

……

"Oppa, we got a lot of first place this time, are you happy?"

Zhang Yuanying, who had just returned from a trip, had been sitting in the production room for a while. She was watching Chen Chen making instant noodles.

"Of course I am happy. Who wouldn't be happy when the idol group I launched broke the record of all the female group debuts?" Chen Chen used the tablet beside him to press the instant noodles. "I am also a normal person. Seeing my own artist achieve such outstanding results, I am naturally proud. I feel the joy of my daughter growing up."

"But I'm not particularly happy because from the company's perspective your debut is not perfect enough," Chen Chen added.

From a company perspective, Integrate Monster's debut performance can only be considered excellent, because it was helped by others.

No matter whether they gave in to give face to Chen Chen or were forced to give in because of fear of Chen Chen's methods against the starship, giving in is giving in, and if there is any giving in, there is water in it.

Don’t say that some people can’t get such results even if others give way to them. Integrate is a girl group promoted by a big company, and it is what it should do to get such good results!
The most perfect idea in Chen Chen’s mind is actually that when Integrate debuts, other groups return normally, and then Integrate defeats a series of opponents to get the results they deserve.

This not only allows the members to go through difficulties, but also allows the company to feel more at ease, without having to worry about whether it will be unable to recover if others don't give in next time.

"What's the main problem with us?" Zhang Yuanying nervously grabbed the belt of her coat. "Everyone guessed that Oppa would be dissatisfied, and they want to know why he is dissatisfied."

"You were sent here as a negotiation representative again?" Chen Chen couldn't help but smile. "Just do your own thing. You don't have to be so sensible."

"Oppa has done so much for us. Wouldn't it be a bit heartless if he didn't want to do better?" Zhang Yuanying replied.

"If that's the case, you should practice more, attend more classes, and pay more attention to the information on the Internet and the key news in the circle." The path Chen Chen pointed out was very different from what they imagined. "Now is your best time. Since you have debuted as an artist, there are not so many business activities to involve your energy. You can use all your time to study hard and become the best version of yourself."

"Is that all?"

Zhang Yuanying was a little dumbfounded.

"Do you think it's too easy?" Chen Chen smiled and shook his head. "Actually it's not easy. The requirement is that you have to stick to it even when you are on a normal schedule. Look at your TWICE seniors, they are so busy that even a full night's sleep is a luxury."

"You also saw it when I first lived in the Soy Sauce Bottle Dormitory, so you should know that what I said is true."

"You may not be as busy as them, but you won't be far behind. This is something every first-tier girl group has to go through." "And you should take advantage of this relatively free time now to consolidate your foundation to an extremely terrifying level. Even if you are equally busy in the future, you will be able to maintain a very high level of singing and dancing."

“No matter how the world changes, singing, dancing and performance on stage are the only criteria for measuring an idol’s level. Everything else is empty.”

"If the company has good operations, good songs, good grades, and a pretty face, these can indeed increase the speed of fan growth to a terrifying level, but the company cannot always provide absolutely excellent operations and songs that perfectly cater to the market."

“Not to mention the performance aspect, which is the easiest to be manipulated by the company and the easiest to be influenced by the market.”

Chen Chen skipped the topic of face because his words were not convincing on this issue.

His girlfriend is Irene, so of course he can say that looks are not important!
Back to the topic, everyone knows that fans have diverse aesthetic tastes.

When beauty reaches a certain threshold, what matters is not the degree of prettyness but the eye contact, and behind that there are deeper things like personal charm.

"I think I understand." Zhang Yuanying nodded her head and looked at Chen Chen with sparkling eyes. "So we should remain in the same state as when we were trainees, right?"

It seems that teenagers’ brains are indeed smarter and they summarized things quite well.

"Well, that's all." Chen Chen nodded and said, "Don't worry about your own growth. You will grow naturally if you stay in this circle. The environment here will force you to transform."

"If it's about personal growth, I suggest you wait at least five years before you start thinking about it." Chen Chen added, "By then, both myself and the team will be mature enough and won't make any particularly bad judgments that will make us regret for the rest of our lives."

"Do we still need to consider this kind of thing?" Zhang Yuanying blinked and asked innocently, "Isn't this Oppa's job?"

"Do you really intend to blame me for your whole life?!" Chen Chen angrily turned the tablet covering the instant noodles aside, "Don't even think about it, it's impossible!"

"Would you like to have a bite?" Chen Chen gave way for a moment, and when he saw Xiao Yuan shaking her head, he became even more angry. "If you develop smoothly, your circle and society will force you to move forward."

"And even if there is no external pressure, I don't think you are the kind of people who would stay in your own class comfortably. It's a bit too Buddhist, which doesn't suit you."

"In this case, when you stand at the top and see higher levels, it is impossible not to be moved. At this time, the company that is not high enough will become your prison. You should start to consider leaving the company and do something else."

"Don't say that a company only needs to stand high enough. The company's development speed will definitely not keep up with your development speed. A whole company can't compare with an individual." Chen Chen boasted for a long time and finally put a big mouthful of noodles into his mouth, which made Xiao Yuan swallow his saliva. "So this kind of contradiction is bound to appear. There is no solution. We just have to wait."

"Is there any possibility that it won't happen?" Zhang Yuanying asked carefully, "We have only debuted for a month. If we start planning now, can we find a solution?"

"Impossible. If we promote your development, we will accumulate the possibility of such problems. In the future, I don't plan to suppress your development like other entertainment companies." Chen Chen drank a mouthful of noodle soup. "But don't worry, you will have such problems very late, because C headquarters is very high."
