Chapter 1155: The Desire to Swing a Hoe
After Jin Enshu finished digesting the information, Chen Chen told her a simple story.

Needless to say, the story content is exactly the same as the TV series "Dark Glory".

"Since you have already constructed a complete story, why did you come to me?" Jin Enshu asked puzzledly: "If you just need someone to turn the story into a script, there are definitely a lot of writers you can contact who can complete such a task."

"A story is just a story. To become an excellent script, writers like you have to give souls to the characters in the story." Chen Chen said seriously: "A good story may not be outstanding, but a good character will definitely be able to jump out of the shackles of the TV screen and continue to shine."

"More importantly," Chen Chen added, "if writer Kim Eun-sook is in charge of the scriptwriting, when the TV series is made, there will be more outstanding people like you in the production team, which is very good for the TV series production."

"I think I understand what you mean." Jin Enshu sorted out the information and put it in her bag, nodded and said, "I accept the reservation of C headquarters."

"Your story and ideas are so good that I can't bear to give them up. Not only me, but any writer with vision can't resist."

"Even if I reject you now, I will definitely come back after I go home and lie in bed for a few days without sleep. Rather than making it so awkward later, it's better to accept your invitation now."

"Please prepare the contract for Headquarter C." After Jin Enshu agreed, she became very decisive. "I will come to sign the contract with a rough draft in a week."

"How long will it take for writer Jin to finish the script?" Chen Chen said with a smile, "Since we are talking about the contract, you also know that time is very important and there is no way around it."

"According to my ability, half a year is enough to finish it, but," Kim Eun-sook took a deep breath, "I need a whole year."

"It's a bit embarrassing to say this." Kim Eun-sook said with an embarrassed expression, "For a writer, writing his own story is the most comfortable, so I need to shamelessly ask you for more time to turn your story into my story."

"It doesn't matter. Writer Jin's story should be better than mine." Chen Chen waved his hand generously, "C headquarters will be happy to get a better script."

"You are so modest!" Jin Enshu said quickly, "When signing, your name must be before mine, absolutely!"

"We'll talk about it later." Chen Chen didn't comment, "We need a script first before we can have these things later."

"I see." Jin Enshu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Chen Chen. "Talented people are really different. They are so outstanding that people will envy them no matter where they go. Just based on some recent experiences, you can burst out with such inspiration and integrate it into a story. If you had chosen to be a film and television playwright at the beginning, I'm afraid everyone's ranking in the industry would have to drop one place."

"Writer Jin is exaggerating." Chen Chen shook his head calmly. "Just because you have a story in your head doesn't mean you can write it. That requires excellent writing skills. Just because you have a good story doesn't mean you can turn it into a beautiful script. That requires excellent adaptation skills."

Mr. Chen understands the difficulty of writing very well.

To be honest, which time traveler has not thought about being a plagiarist?
Even though it may seem a bit low-class, the income from the copyrights of books and scripts is actually no worse than what you can earn by singing and dancing hard on the stage, and your life will be more comfortable.

But Chen Chen really doesn't have that ability! He can't even eat that meal!

"You clearly don't regard me as an expert when you praise me like this, so naturally all the compliments you give me are false." Chen Chen smiled and said, "We have reached this level of relationship, there is no need to do this."

"Boss Chen is really hard to deal with." Jin Enshu smiled bitterly, "He is hard to deal with and doesn't tolerate any injustice, which makes him even harder to deal with."

"Just be straightforward from now on." Chen Chen showed that he wanted to end it. "Then let's stop here for today. I'll be waiting for you in the president's office of C headquarters in a week. See you there."

"See you then." Jin Enshu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Next time we meet, can you give me a signed album of Integrate?"

"My daughter likes Integrate very much. She is their fan." Jin Enshu hurriedly explained before Chen Chen's eyes changed. "Since I happen to meet Mr. Chen from C headquarters in a week, I want to shamelessly ask you for a copy."

"Don't worry, writer Jin, you're not the first person to ask me for a signed album by Integrate." Chen Chen nodded at her and said with a smile, "Come and get it in a week. We have it."

Every time Integrate's signed album returns, Chen Chen will prepare a certain number of them, for fear that they may be used at any time.

The people Chen Chen himself comes into contact with may not be fans of idols, but the children in their families may not be the same.

This is especially true for the children of writers and directors, who have some understanding of the entertainment industry due to their parents' work, but are unable to go deeper due to their young age, and ultimately can only stop at the level of idol groups.

Speaking of idol groups, Integrate is naturally the most popular in the past two years.

……

After finishing the script of "Dark Glory", Chen Chen returned home contentedly.

Son Seungwan is making his solo debut today, so Bae Joo-hyun naturally has to accompany her sisters and won't be able to come to Chen Chen's place.

But Chen Chen is not a man who can't live without his girlfriend. It's nice to watch TV and work overtime.

Speaking of overtime, Chen Chen actually doesn’t know what to do.

Each department has its own person in charge. Chen Chen can't always supervise the work of the person in charge, right? C Headquarters This company is not yet mature enough for the president to devote a lot of energy to catching employees for corruption and malfeasance.

"Dingle bell bell~"

"Thanks to you, I got a promotion."

When Chen Chen was bored, he was surprised by the call from KakaoM Li Xunxi.

"Director Li's promotion was based on his own ability. What does it have to do with me?" Chen Chen changed his position on the sofa and said, "Congratulations!"

"Aren't you curious about where I got promoted to?" Li Xunxi was a little depressed.

"Why should I care about you? I'm not familiar with you." Chen Chen curled his lips, "Considering that you are from KakaoM, it's even more impossible for us to be familiar with each other."

"C headquarters and KakaoM have already reached a settlement. Please correct your attitude." Li Xunxi said helplessly.

"OK, OK." Chen Chen sat up. "I'll put aside my hostility for now. Director Li, please tell me what I called about, so that we can continue the conversation."

"I'm not Director Li anymore. I've been promoted to Deputy Director." Li Xunxi first corrected Chen Chen's way of addressing him.

"What does Deputy Minister Li want to talk to me about?" Chen Chen deliberately emphasized the word "deputy". "At this time, the ordinary employees of C headquarters have all gone off work, why is the deputy minister of KakaoM still thinking about work?"

"..."

Li Xunxi was silent for a while, probably not knowing how to respond.

"KakaoM wants to reach a cooperation with C headquarters."

When the voice came from the receiver again, Chen Chen heard something that interested him greatly.

"What kind of cooperation?" Chen Chen asked.

"Bubble." Li Xunxi replied: "If Bubble of C headquarters can get the support of Kakao talk, it will be able to do a lot more."

"For example?" Chen Chen's interest suddenly waned, but he still asked with hope, "I think the current functions of Paopao are already very comprehensive, and it should be difficult for KakaoM to come up with content that will impress me."

As a person who was several steps ahead, Chen Chen planned a lot of useful content when he started making Bubble. Of course, not all of them were implemented at the beginning, but later as the funds of C headquarters became more and more abundant, those functions were gradually added, and Bubble was built into a hexagonal warrior.

Apart from anything else, the fact that Weverse has not appeared yet is enough to show how comprehensive Bubble is.

“But the content produced by C headquarters itself is not professional enough, and the cost is high and not that useful.” Li Xunxi urged: “If we cooperate with KakaoM and get the help of Kakao talk, those immature contents of Bubble will immediately become the ultimate form, and it will become completely different!”

"..."

Now it was Chen Chen's turn to be speechless.

"Tsk, if I were to consider opening up for cooperation, why do you think KakaoM would be the first choice?"

Chen Chen smacked his lips, his tone not only showing helplessness but also a bit of pity for the other party's IQ.

"Because we are strong, our technology is professional and complete!" Li Xunxi answered loudly: "Is there any instant messaging software in South Korea that is stronger than Kakao Talk?! There is no way!"

"I'm asking this out of pure curiosity. It's up to you whether you answer or not." Chen Chen asked, "Can KakaoM use Kakao talk? Are you qualified to use it for commercial activities?"

"KakaoM is a very close subsidiary of the group. As long as there are suitable reasons for the application, it will generally be approved." Li Xunxi replied.

"Okay, I see."

Chen Chen responded and gained a deeper understanding of KakaoM.

"You mean you're interested in cooperating?!" Li Xunxi said excitedly, "You won't lose out if you join us!"

"I've already said that I'm just curious." Chen Chen refused: "I don't have any other intentions. I have no intention of cooperating with KakaoM on the Bubble thing."

"Why?" Li Xunxi was a little defensive and directly explained the essence of the transaction, "Pao Bu's data is not that valuable, why are you not willing to give it out in exchange for benefits?"

KakaoM will naturally not provide technical support to Paopao for nothing. What they want is a large amount of data on the fan circle users in Paopao.

After Starship was taken away by C headquarters, KakaoM needed to pull in another entertainment company to serve as the face of this section. In order to support entertainment companies in launching successful idol groups, in addition to financial support, they also needed the support of market data.

When it comes to the best channel to understand the idol market, Bubble is definitely at the top of the list.

"Because if C headquarters wants this kind of technical support, they can cooperate with Penguin." Chen Chen said bluntly: "You can go back and ask Kakao Talk if they have the confidence to win over other people's WeChat!"

"..."

Li Xunxi fell silent.

There is no need to ask this kind of question. It is obvious who is the invincible father and who is the little brat.

"KakaoM, please pay more." Chen Chen gave a ladder that could reach him. "It's not that I can't hand over this data, but I want KakaoM to exchange it for something really useful."

"Okay." Li Xunxi responded sullenly, "I will communicate with the company again."

It is true that Bubble's data is valuable, but it is impossible to say that it is worth a lot of money. After all, if you spend some resources to collect and organize it yourself, you can get the same thing, and it will not be difficult for others.

Therefore, Bubble’s data has never been something that cannot be traded.

But the problem is that KakaoM is doing nothing by giving up technical support in exchange for data. They don’t have to do the work, and the data of Bubble still needs to be used by KakaoM.

I don’t mean anything else, Chen Chen just thinks KakaoM is so cool.

If you are happy, I will be unhappy. I can't stand you being happier than me!
If you can convince Kakao talk to do things for you, that's your ability. If I'm unhappy here and want to make things difficult for you, that's also my ability. After all, my other option is better than yours, hehehe.

However, C's headquarters is located in South Korea after all. If KakaoM is willing to increase the price, Chen Chen would of course prefer to cooperate with KakaoM.

You know, it's out of reach. No matter how powerful the penguins are, South Korea is still a foreign country and it's difficult to do things there!

And KakaoM does have what Chen Chen wants, actors.

Lee Byung-hun, Han Hyo-joo, Gong Yoo, Kong Hyo-jin, Kim Go-eun, Han Ga-in, Song Seung-heon, Kim Tae-ri Chen Chen put these names not to make himself drool, but to tell himself how strong the cast of KakaoM is.

Not to mention getting something, just being able to build good relationships and make use of them is a good thing.

Now that KakaoM has come to him, this is a great opportunity for him to get in touch with other people's actors. Who knows, Chen may have to raise his hoe again.

……

"The first day's data for Integrate is out. Do you want to see it?"

Shirley transferred a form to Chen Chen early in the morning.

"I won't look at it. Just keep it here."

Chen Chen sniffed. The air in the early April morning was still a little chilly.

"In addition, the data of artists returning at the same time must also be collected, and after the collection is completed, a simple annotation must be made." Chen Chen added: "For example, which piece of data is wrong, what the other party did and when, and what results were obtained, etc. All these things must be done well."

"Don't worry, we are working on it." Shirley turned and looked at Chen Chen, "It's just that I can't decide when it would be best to leak these things."

The judgment and analysis of other artists' data changes are made in order to be released. Chen Chen wants to use the super easy-to-use excuse of data leakage to bring this ugly operation of watering down the data to the forefront!

Fans are never stupid. In the past, pretending not to understand was the unspoken rule in the circle.

But if the fans pretend not to understand even after C headquarters has exposed the whole thing, then they would be too spineless.

Chen Chen believed that they would not do that. After all, inflated data harmed the entire circle. No group had not suffered such a loss, and all fans were angry.

"On the eve of the debut of Hybe's new girl group." Chen Chen set the date without hesitation. "It's a warning to Hybe, and it's also to create a fair environment for our new girl group that may also debut at that time."

Hybe is a habitual offender of buying data, and he is even particularly arrogant in doing so, even able to get the listening data to the point of punching Taylor Swift and kicking Jay Chou.

This time, Chen Chen will definitely not indulge Hybe. If it dares to do such a beastly thing, C headquarters will dare to take action against it!
