star of the peninsula

Soy Sauce Bottle is one of C Headquarters’ most steadfast allies, and Chen Chen certainly hopes that they can live a better life.

Moreover, it would be better for the Korean entertainment idol circle if ITZY could maintain its high popularity. A girl group with passion and vitality is always more popular than assembly line products.

As for this "Ma.fi.a", the information in Chen Chen's head is somewhat contradictory.

If we only look at the data, the data of this song is very solid, and using it as a clarion call for transformation can definitely not be called a failure, but its reputation is a bit too low and is completely inconsistent with the results.

After searching carefully in his mind, Chen Chen discovered something very interesting.

The reason why "Ma.fi.a" received bad reviews in the beginning was that it was different from the previous comebacks, and the attempt at transformation was not easily accepted by everyone for a while.

The reputation improved later because everyone found that Soy Sauce Bottle was feeding more shit, so by comparison, the value of "Ma.fi.a" increased.

It's pretty funny, anyway.

……

On April 2, Snow King announced Integrate as the South Korean regional spokesperson and revealed a collaboration.

Snow King did not say a word about entering the South Korean market.

Although everyone will think that this is a signal that the Snow King has entered South Korea whether you mention it or not, there is still a big gap between other people's speculation and calculation and what you admit.

As for the linkage, we can just let Chen Chen's store do it. Snow King doesn't have his own store yet, so only Chen Chen can do it.

"The water army is already working. I believe that in less than half a day, everyone in the fan circle will know how terrible Snow King is." Sulli was a little worried, "But whether we can achieve our expected effect in South Korea remains to be seen. After all, Snow King is too far away from the lives of South Koreans."

"It's enough to let the fans know about it. There's no need to pursue too much." Chen Chen said, "Besides, my Snow King opened very early, so the fans are not particularly unfamiliar with it."

Chen Chen’s beverage shop is also well-known and it definitely did not start from scratch.

"Well, I'm just worried that Snow King's popularity in South Korea won't match Integrate's popularity, which will be very harmful to us." Shirley frowned slightly. "Even if Snow King will become a very successful brand in South Korea in the future, that is a matter for the future after all. What we want is to maximize the popularity now."

"Don't worry, we have Tik Tok." Chen Chen sat in his seat calmly without blinking, "Three days is enough to create a big trend in South Korea."

"What kind of wind?" Shirley asked in confusion, "How strong is it?"

"Just wait and see." Chen Chen temporarily hid the surprise, "We will start bombing after our people finish the first wave of popular science."

It’s not that Chen Chen is overconfident, it’s just that the power of the tune of “You love me, I love you” that has been bombarding Tik Tok for three days has already been demonstrated in other places, and he can’t feel worried at all!
"Also, please notify the anchor department of the S branch. During today's live broadcast, everyone should place two cups of Snow King and Integrate's joint products where everyone can see them." Chen Chen ordered: "I have already notified YouTube. Snow King must appear in all recent filming activities."

"Understood." Shirley immediately began editing an email to the anchor department, "But after the public collaboration today, Snow King will be hard to get. I'm afraid that not all Integrate fans will be able to get one."

"That's my store. It's easy for me to get in through the back door. Moreover, since I already knew about the linkage, it's what I should have done in advance to prepare a large amount of goods in advance." Chen Chen wanted her to be at ease. "If C headquarters and S branch need them, they will be enough."

"Should we also notify the variety show?" Sulli asked.

"No." Chen Chen shook his head slightly. "YouTube and anchors are more flexible so they can do this. Variety shows are relatively clumsy and can't react so quickly."

"More importantly," Chen Chen laughed, "Snow King is not the sponsor of our variety show and didn't give us the sponsorship fee, so C headquarters' variety show naturally doesn't need to advertise for it."

"That seems to make sense." Shirley was infected by his relaxed atmosphere, and her words were not as urgent as before. "By the way, how did you get the idea of ​​asking Soy Sauce Bottle yesterday?"

"I got a very clear answer." Chen Chen replied: "Soy Sauce Bottle wants ITZY to hide under the popularity of Integrate and try to transform."

"That makes sense. With ITZY's popularity and popularity, only we can overshadow them." Sulli asked in confusion: "But why don't they choose to collide with us head-on? Wouldn't it be more hidden this way?"

"What if they succeed in their transformation? Wouldn't it be a loss of development opportunity if they collide with us?" Chen Chen snorted, "Humph, they only need to hide when their transformation fails, but they need to publicize it when it succeeds! The other party is just a soy sauce bottle, do you think they won't have the hope of success?"

"So do you think ITZY has a chance to successfully transform?" Sulli asked curiously, "From your boss Chen's super professional perspective, what is the chance of Soy Sauce Bottle's success?"

"I don't know." Chen Chen shook his head honestly. "Now is the era of people bringing songs, 30% depends on the idols themselves and 70% depends on the company. As long as the company does a good job of marketing, popularity and other things are completely up to you."

"Is Integrate the same in your mind?" Shirley teased.

"Of course that's the case with Integrate." Chen Chen said mercilessly, "The works they have gotten so far are just the standard of first-tier groups. The reason they have the current popularity is that C headquarters has done a good job."

"President Chen is right!" Shirley gave him a thumbs up, "You are not spoiling your own child at all!"

To put it bluntly, two points of Integrate's current popularity are due to the stable quality of their works at the level of a first-tier girl group, two points for the girls themselves being outstanding, and the rest is all due to the top-notch operations of C headquarters.

The identity of epidemic prevention ambassador and the nuclear-level marketing bombardment of C-cell opening screen have allowed Integrate to rise step by step from the original first-line girl group to another level. This is all the careful planning of Mr. Chen.

"Okay, give me the information about Seo Soo-jin's school bullying incident."

Chen Chen rubbed his face and reached out to Shirley for the information.

"The police haven't found anything against us, so it should be a simple false accusation." Sulli handed over the information and added her own opinion. "The surging public opinion is directed at the bullying. As long as Soojin herself is fine, we just need to wait for the public opinion to dissipate. Without factual evidence, public opinion will dissipate very quickly."

"Ah, I'm not worried about that, never." Chen Chen glanced at Shirley, "I want the information to be used, for other, very important purposes."

"What use can this information have?" Shirley tilted her head in confusion. "Do you want to see the public's insults against Soojin in the beginning?"

As Cube Entertainment has repeatedly informed the public that the police have not obtained any evidence to prove that Seo Soo-jin had bullied the person involved, the attention on this bullying controversy has been getting lower and lower. Now only some people who particularly want to pin the blame on her are saying things like "It's been so many years, it's hard to find evidence" and "The lack of evidence doesn't mean she didn't do it."

Regardless of whether they are cyber warriors who are eager to create chaos in the world or fans of competitors, these people can no longer pose any substantial threats. (G)I-DLE has successfully overcome this difficulty.

As for whether Xu Suzhen had bullied others, Chen Chen was not interested and did not think it was an important matter, because it had nothing to do with him and he, Chen, had never been a judge of justice.

"What's so good about insults? Don't you feel upset when you see them?" Chen Chen replied, "I plan to use this as an excuse to do something."

"What's the matter?" Shirley asked.

"I won't tell you until I succeed." Chen Chen laughed, "If I fail, just pretend I never did it."

……

On the evening of April 2, a video of a fat white man holding an ice cream and dancing to the tune of "You Love Me, I Love You" went viral on Tik Tok in South Korea.

Soon after, various internet celebrities came in, and while the Snow King was dancing, he was also dancing at the same level as a kindergarten teacher.

I have to say that some people just fall for this. The data in the videos of internet celebrities are much higher than those posted by Snow King himself.

Naturally, Integrate also came out to dance. Although Chen Chen has always not allowed them to do the same things as Internet celebrities and lower their own standards, this time they are spokespersons, so they have to dance.

Then, C headquarters fanned the flames and launched a cross-dressing challenge, in which everyone could dance on the same screen with the Snow King and the fat white man in their favorite image, and the short video bombardment officially entered its climax.

In just three days, Snow King had become a well-known name among young people in South Korea. The queue for the Snow King shop that Chen Chen first opened stretched to the next street every day.

It’s no exaggeration. South Koreans love to follow trends. A huge number of people come here, and the number is increasing day by day.

Due to the large number of customers and the Blue House's requirement to maintain social distance, the already tight street space became even more insufficient, and people had to queue up elsewhere.

Finally, Integrate returns on the 5th.

The album "ELEVEN" corresponds to the joint drink sold by Snow King at a price of 11 yuan. The gimmick that Chen Chen came up with is "the ultimate enjoyment is for everyone to drink the drink while listening to music."

It's quite corny and makes no sense, but everyone enjoys it.

Anyway, Chen Chen has put all his thoughts on the Snow King these days, which is considered as repaying the help the Snow King has given him.

However, Integrate has the full care of the starship, so Chen Chen doesn't need to worry about it.

"Record broken!"

This is the most common phrase Chen Chen heard today.

"Which record did you break this time?" Chen Chen was playing with his phone out of boredom. "What's the source of the sound?"

"You wish!" Shirley rolled her eyes at him. "It would be amazing if the music source could break the record. It's the first-day sales!"

"We've broken the record before the day is over?" Chen Chen pouted, "We've refreshed our own limit again?"

The girl group’s first-day sales record was occupied by Integrate’s second comeback, and every new comeback brings a new record. Chen Chen no longer finds it new.

"Well, the statistics of this album should be very impressive." Sulli said excitedly: "We will start our first promotion at MCD tomorrow, and the sales will increase even more!"

"It's okay. We can raise the price by two more times. We have sufficient stock." Chen Chen patted his butt and stood up. "You continue to watch. I'm going out now. Report any problems at any time."

"Okay, go ahead and don't worry." Shirley was reassuring, "Leave this to me."

……

"Boss Chen, instead of staying at headquarters C at this time, invited me to have coffee. I am really flattered."

Kim Eun-sook shook the cup, her face full of caution.

"Because they are all things that don't require concern." Chen Chen leaned back in his chair calmly, "Integrate is a mature idol group and no longer needs my care. And 4minute, which is led by Shine Grocery Store, will have the dual care of the program team and the grocery store when they release songs and comebacks, so they don't need me even more."

"Then what do I have here that you need to be concerned about?" Kim Eun-sook was extremely vigilant. "Duen's script has been sold to C headquarters. If it's still something over there, you should talk to her directly."

"We have already finished discussing 'Twenty-Five, Twenty-One'. Writer Quan Do-eun is currently working on revising the script. I have no reason to bother her." Chen Chen took a sip of tea leisurely. "I am meeting you about the new script."

“So it’s a script~”

Kim Eun-sook breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it was about the script, there would be no situation in the script that would make her feel particularly embarrassed.

"But I don't have the script at the moment. Did you hear the wrong news?" Kim Eun-sook asked doubtfully.

"I'm not here to get your finished product today, but to order a script from you." Chen Chen said slowly, "I was deeply moved by what happened to the C headquarters some time ago, and I got some inspiration from my emotion."

"I want to turn this inspiration into a story and a script, but I just don't have the skills to do that."

"So I thought of Writer Jin." Chen Chen looked into her eyes seriously and said, "Please lend me your writing skills, Writer Jin, and help me write the script I want."

Such a serious script booking request made Jin Enshu a little confused for a moment. She never expected that Chen Chen asked her to meet just for work.

"I haven't taken on such a job for many years since I became famous. Writing scripts on request is usually a job that lower-level writers take on to survive." Jin Enshu adjusted her glasses, "But I have to give face to Mr. Chen. I also believe that Mr. Chen's inspiration is completely different from others and has enough value to attract me."

"After all, you have always been like this." Jin Enshu flattered him, "Everything you are going to do is worth 100,000 gold."

"Writer Jin, please don't praise me so highly. This is really just an inspiration of mine." Chen Chen took out a thick stack of information and handed it to her. "A girl who had been in C headquarters for a while was involved in a school bullying controversy, which made me think about this matter."

"Please read her experiences during this period first. After reading them, I will slowly talk to you about my views and what I want writer Jin to do."

What should the combination of these two words, school bullying and Kim Eun-sook, bring to everyone? Of course, it is "Dark Glory".

Chen Chen has already found a perfect reason to let this script be born in his hands. If he missed it, he would definitely call himself an idiot.
