star of the peninsula

It was a bit too nice to inform a few netizens while announcing the showcase information.

The lucky few who received the notice from the local court put on quite a brilliant performance on the relevant topic. Some cried and begged for forgiveness, some threw a tantrum and begged C headquarters to take it back, and some were ruthless and didn't take it seriously. Just these few people showed a variety of attitudes, allowing Chen Chen to see the diversity of species.

Unfortunately, both the haters and fans were so focused on the showcase that they didn’t notice that there were a few people wailing there.

Cry somewhere else? No, no, no, they only have a sense of existence in these few limited topics. If they leave here, they will have no sense of existence like weeds on the roadside.

So I can only howl louder and more hysterically here.

Speaking of which, the companions who had been "fighting" before did see it, but they drew a clear line the moment they saw it and gloriously became former companions.

……

"Announce your return in mid-December at the showcase?"

Jinshidai politely asked Chen Chen for his opinion. As an operator, he could make his own decisions on such small matters.

"Just tell us. Telling it out will make it easier for others to snipe at us." Chen Chen said nonchalantly, "I have already given my opponents the face they deserve. It is time for our opponents to weigh the true weight of Integrate."

"Then we need to be more prepared." Jinshidai exhaled, "At least one first-line group will choose to confront us head-on, and the staff's ability to withstand pressure must also be able to withstand it."

"I'm relieved about the staff. The Starship's operating team is experienced in many battles, so this is no problem." Chen Chen touched his chin, "I'm more worried about the girls. This is the first time they will face pressure from the regular army."

"It depends on who it is. If it's just Red Velvet, the pressure won't be that great." Kim Shidai ruled out one option first. "With your relationship with Irene, the fans of both sides should be quite restrained."

“If it’s TWICE or BLACKPINK,” Kim Shidai frowned unconsciously, “it’s a big problem. I can say with certainty that we can’t handle it.”

"Don't worry about TWICE. Soy Sauce Bottle needs to continue to give me face. After all, I am still their contract worker." Chen Chen eliminated another option. "BLACKPINK is really troublesome. The girls can only rely on themselves."

"I don't think we need to worry too much about the girls. After spending more than a month together, I'm sure they won't be affected by this kind of thing." Jin Shidai took a sip of the tea on the table, his tone full of envy, "You are really amazing. You can find such a good trainee just by browsing Taobao."

"It has nothing to do with luck, but with operation." Chen Chen took a sip with him. "You fish from the river, but I fish directly from your fish baskets. Can the quality of the fish we catch be the same? Think about it, isn't this the truth?"

"Haha, I got it!" Jin Shidai laughed and clapped his hands. "From now on, I'll keep an eye on the trainees from other companies. If I see a good one, I'll go get in touch with it!"

"Don't even think about it. If you can tell that he's a good candidate, so can others. In the end, there's still an exchange of interests." Chen Chen side-glanced at him, "Are you willing to trade your current benefits for a possibility? Even this possibility won't be revealed until a few years later, and after the reveal, it's a 70-70 chance of whether it's good or bad."

"I said I didn't need luck. I was just being polite. Don't take it seriously!"

“There are so many SM ROOKIES, how many of them succeeded in the end?”

“If it was that easy to create idols, would the Korean entertainment industry still be like this?”

Although Chen Chen suddenly emphasized the importance of luck, which was completely contradictory, the truthfulness of his words increased exponentially in Jin Shidai's ears.

Sometimes people believe lies more than the truth.

“Hahaha, I was just thinking about keeping an eye on the public members of SM ROOKIES.” Jin Shidai shook his head, looking a little disappointed. “But SM Entertainment is very strict with ROOKIES, so you can’t get it under normal circumstances.”

"And almost no one will pay for trainees if there is a price to pay. It's not worth it. Anyway, I don't want to."

"So, I will never be able to create a super-standard girl group like Integrate using your method." Jin Shidai became more envious as he spoke, "I am not one of you young people anymore. I can't afford to waste my time."

Cultivating resources, connections, and money are not particularly important. The only thing that really makes people feel heartbroken is time. How much does it cost to raise a trainee? Any entertainment company spends a lot of money on it!

But waiting for trainees to grow up is a very troublesome thing. It takes a long time, or even until before debut, to see whether this person is suitable to be an idol. This is a huge cost, which is why we have to support so many trainees.

In fact, it is not uncommon in the industry to see examples where the training time of trainees is longer than the final group they form, which is really sad.

"Are you following SM ROOKIES?" Chen Chen suddenly asked.

"Yes." Jin Shidai was a little confused about Chen Chen's purpose. "Ever since you created Integrate in a very magical way, everyone has started to stare at other people's trainees. SM ROOKIES is the most popular and is the one that is stared at the most."

"It seems like I've set a bad precedent." Chen Chen's expression was a little complicated, but he quickly restrained himself and said, "Tell me about the recent events of SM ROOKIES."

"Want to form a boy band?" Jin Shidai asked cautiously.

Chen Chen did not respond, and his facial expression did not change.

"Well, it's like this." Jin Shidai quickly straightened up and answered the question, "SM ROOKIES has been very strictly managed by SM Hat Company recently, and nothing happened."

"No new people have been announced? No existing people have left?" Chen Chen realized that his question was a little hasty. After realizing what he was asking, he calmed down and asked again, "Are there any changes in the personnel?"

“There have been no changes in personnel.”

The Golden Era said this with considerable certainty.

OK, then Chen Chen knows what the future personnel composition of aespa will be like.

Logically speaking, SM ROOKIES will have people running away from now on. If they haven’t run away now, it is likely that new members of aespa will be drawn from SM ROOKIES.

Interesting, fun things are coming!

"By the way, have you decided on a fan name for Integrate?" Chen Chen asked with concern.

"I've decided, let's call it INT." Jin Shidai's eyes widened a little, and he was obviously very satisfied with the name he chose. "It's the abbreviation of an international organization, which just corresponds to the meaning of Integrate connecting the world. And we do have a lot of international friends among our fans, so this fan name is perfect!"

Chen Chen had nothing to say. He just felt numb when a black man appeared in front of his eyes.

No, buddy, is your fan name so abstract?!

"No, no, no!" Chen Chen waved his hands repeatedly, "You can't really touch the special terms of others, it will kill people!"

"I took this into consideration, so we call it 'int' but it will be written as 'i&t'." Jin Shidai was even more proud, "Not bad, it's more complicated than n, and it looks a bit like the infinity symbol. I hope we will have infinite fans."

Chen Chen just felt that his vision was getting darker. He wanted to shout that this was not okay, but he also knew that at least when it came to coming up with fan names, he was a thousand times worse than Golden Age.

The world is already crazy, so what's wrong with fans being a little crazy? !

It's crazy! It's really crazy!
