Chapter 1195: A gorilla jumps out
A few casual chats made the guests nervous, which was not Chen Chen's intention.

It's just that the topic somehow ended up flowing over there, and it just so happened that the people who came to C headquarters today were almost all the most staunch supporters of SMART, so no one could do anything about it.

Yoona and Sunny are both veterans who have been at SM Entertainment for a long time. They are the true descendants of Lee Soo Man.

"By the way, are you free next month?" Chen Chen changed the subject directly. "C headquarters has a new program that needs a super guest who is good at speaking to lay a good foundation for the beginning of the program."

"Let Yoona come." Lee Sunkyu pushed Lin Yoona out. "It's still in time to promote Yoona's movie by recording a program in September and broadcasting in October. Besides, she is the one who looks most like an artist among us now."

"That's very clear. The artist aura of both of you combined is not as strong as that of Yoona alone." Chen Chen smiled and looked at Lin Yoona, "What do you think?"

"How is the quality of this program?" Lin Yuner said, "I won't participate in programs with poor quality."

"The quality is very high. It is the highest quality among all the YouTube programs of C headquarters." Chen Chen answered without hesitation.

"I know I'll be the one with the best performance before the recording even starts?!" Lin Yuna was shocked, "What kind of program is C headquarters going to produce?!"

"It's a show that looks very popular among young people." Chen Chen kept it to himself for the time being, "I'll send you an invitation. Come when you have time."

"No problem, since Boss Chen said so, I will definitely give him the honor." Lin Yuner smiled, "Besides, if I go to this show, I will be certified as a 'super guest' by Boss Chen. I kind of want this title."

"Hahaha, that's a really nice thing to say. I feel like I have enough energy to record a song!" Chen Chen glanced at Huang Miying, "Have you rested well? Let's continue."

"..."

After completing the recording of the work, Chen Chen also found a super suitable first-episode guest for Li Yongzhi's "Although I Didn't Prepare Any Dishes". This night was not in vain.

After giving the final work to Golden Era to adapt it himself, Chen Chen took a taxi home to sleep.

But he did not sleep well, because before going to bed Chen Chen suddenly remembered that he had thrown "As It Was" to Boss Hong after producing it, and had not had time to record a demo for it.

"Oh, that's a bit biased."

"I have to deal with it as soon as I wake up."

After making a simple memo to himself, Chen Chen fell asleep.

……

Chen Chen woke up from hunger at around four o'clock in the afternoon and got up.

"It's great. Now I can go back to sleep after waking up, so my life rhythm won't be disrupted by this one night stand."

Chen Chen was very satisfied with the time he woke up. He ordered some takeout and went to take a nice bath.

After a while of daydreaming after dinner, Chen Chen felt that he had fully recovered.

"Then start thinking."

"Uh, think about it!"

When the first name popped up, Chen Chen was completely defeated, and he couldn't think any further!

He must have excellent musical literacy, the ability to master retro rock, and his singing style must be both lyrical and powerful. When these conditions were put forward, the first name that appeared in Chen Chen's mind was JYP Park Jin Young.

If a gorilla suddenly pops up in your mind and beats your chest when you are thinking seriously, there is definitely something wrong!
"Let's think about it tonight. After all, this is something that is optional. LIGHTSUM doesn't have to send it out before their debut."

Chen Chen decided to let himself off the hook, at least to get the image of the gorilla out of his mind.

If he wanted to watch TV or programs, Chen Chen chose "Shine Grocery Store" from C headquarters.

In fact, Chen Chen was curious during the filming. He was curious about how Kim Tae-ho could turn such a smooth process into eight to ten episodes.

Soy Sauce Bottle strongly supports, Star Ship strongly supports, C Headquarters strongly supports, and the four sisters are not in a state of conflict and not contacting each other. As long as someone takes the lead, the gathering can be smooth as it can be.

How would the production team make the process more tortuous to fill the content? Chen Chen couldn't wait to find the first three episodes sent by Jin Taihao and started watching them.

Downloading from the cloud to local computer and then connecting the hard drive to the TV is not a very troublesome operation except that it takes some time.

"Hey, what good stuff are you looking at behind my back?"

When Bae Joo-hyun opened the door and came in, she saw Chen Chen sticking his butt out and fiddling with the TV, and asked with a smile.

"I plan to watch a show to change my mind." Chen Chen patted his butt and returned to the sofa. "Shine Grocery Store, others can only watch two episodes but I can watch the third episode here. Do you want to join us?"

"You can take a look." Pei Zhuxuan hung up her bag and sat down. "I saw the news. This season is a sister group, right?"

"Yes, the sisters." Chen Chen clicked the play button. "They are all very good at playing and are very relaxed. In fact, I kind of want to see how they torture the production team."

"Okay." Pei Zhuxuan glanced at Chen Chen, "How was your recording last night?"

"It went pretty smoothly. Do you want to listen?" Chen Chen took out his phone. "Your senior Tiffany's voice is very good. I am very satisfied."

"As long as you are satisfied, I won't listen to it." Bae Joo Hyun shook her head, "It will be adapted anyway, so I'd better listen to the adapted version, so that I don't have to think the original version is better later."

"You are quite considerate." Chen Chen took back his phone and said with a smile, "How about rewarding you by helping me choose the singer for another song?"

"I refuse." Pei Zhuxuan's face was stern. "I am not familiar with most people in the circle, and the seniors I know are limited to the most famous ones. Asking me for advice is just asking for trouble!"

"It's just a casual chat while watching TV. I don't have to use the name you mentioned." Chen Chen insisted on asking the question, "Who is the first male singer that comes to your mind who can sing retro rock songs that are both lyrical and powerful?"

"Park Hyo-shin."

Bae Joo-hyun's answer without hesitation killed the game.

"Okay, Park Hyo-shin is really great." Chen Chen could only smile bitterly, "It's a pity that I can't hire him."

Chen Chen is capable of inviting any singer in South Korea to sing a formal work, but if it is just to sing a demo, Chen Chen may not be able to invite a great singer like Park Hyo-shin.

"Do you want me to say anything more?"

Bae Joo-hyun had a tense face, with a hint of smugness emerging on her face.

"Just watch TV and stop talking." Chen Chen waved his hands repeatedly, "The first one I took out, Park Hyo-shin, was too lethal. I couldn't handle it."

"Oh, by the way, do you know who I thought of first?" Chen Chen decided to share his shock with his girlfriend.

"Who?"

Pei Zhuxuan asked curiously.

Chen Chen smacked his lips and said helplessly, "Brother Zhenying." "Pu~ha. Hahahahahaha!"

Bae Joo-hyun tried very hard to hold it back, but it seemed like she couldn't hold it back at all in the end.

"Don't laugh, just tell me whether Jinyoung has the ability or not!"

Chen Chen was laughing himself, but he wouldn't let his girlfriend laugh.

"No one can doubt JYP senior's ability and passion, but I think he definitely won't be willing to sing a demo for you." Bae Joo Hyun's opinion is the reason why Chen Chen gave up Park Jin Young, "After seeing and singing such a good work, he will definitely not watch you mess around. You have to see JYP senior's resentful eyes many times!"

"That's so true, so I was shocked when I thought of him, and I didn't dare to continue looking for people." Chen Chen sighed, "It's a pity that I'm not familiar with the bands here, otherwise I wouldn't have to choose from the singers."

"You are not familiar with it, but someone is. Why don't you let Boss Hong do it?" Pei Zhuxuan said, "Boss Hong should be more concerned about this matter than you are. He may have already considered the candidate."

"Then I'll make a phone call and ask."

Chen Chen did as he said and took out his cell phone and dialed.

"What's the matter, Boss Chen?"

Hong Shengcheng was a little confused. He couldn't understand why Chen Chen would call him at this time.

"How's the process for 'As It Was' going?" Chen Chen asked. "I'm currently selecting singers to sing the demo. How about we have a phone meeting to select together?"

"As It Was" must have a demo before it can be changed. Even if Chen Chen didn't say it, Hong Shengcheng must know it.

"That. That"

Hong Shengcheng's voice suddenly became weak and he stammered for a long time without saying anything.

"What's wrong?" Chen Chen gave him a reassuring pill, "If you have anything to say, just say it directly. Don't worry about this or that."

“The demo for ‘As It Was’ is already done,” Hong Seung-sung whispered, “Even the band arrangement for ‘As It Was’ is already done.”

"Hiss~ So fast?" Chen Chen was very surprised, "How did you do it?"

"I'll invite people to come when I find someone I think is suitable," Hong Seung-sung explained. "Thanks to Music Cube, I have a wide network of musicians, which can help me find the people I want quickly."

"Okay, it's up to you if you think it's suitable. I believe in Boss Hong's vision." Chen Chen said this but still asked another question, "Who did you ask to sing the demo?"

"Do you know the band Jannabi?" Hong Shengcheng said a name that Chen Chen was not familiar with. "I contacted the lead singer and invited him to Cube Entertainment to complete this work."

"I know that Jannabi has been on MAMA, but that's all I know." Chen Chen quickly went through the information in his head, "The only person left in this band is the lead singer, right?"

"We only need a lead singer to sing a demo," Hong Shengcheng assured, patting his chest. "He is definitely capable enough, don't worry."

"I'm relieved." Chen Chen nodded. "Then let's stop here. Since we're on the phone, let's talk about it."

"When do you plan to release "As It Was"? " Chen Chen asked.

"Mid to late September, definitely before debut." Hong Seung Sung replied, "If it's later, we'll have to clash with Integrate, and the situation won't be very good."

"Okay, I'm very satisfied with this time." Chen Chen asked one more question, "Do you remember what I asked of you?"

"No face was allowed, only dim shadows," Hong Seung-sung repeated, and then said, "I remember it very clearly, and I thought it was a good promotional video."

“I actually think it’s a pity that this song is used like this.” Hong Seung-sung added: “If it were released normally as a song, it would have topped the Billboard charts several times.”

"Your judgment is quite accurate." Chen Chen raised his eyebrows slightly. "What supports your judgment?"

"After market research, the confidence in my own vision as the owner of an entertainment company, and the confidence in producer Chen Chen." Hong Shengcheng sighed, "I really think it's a pity."

"Things are meant to be used. It would be a shame if they were kept unused." Chen Chen jumped to the next topic, "Call me when you are recording the video, and I will go over to take a look. It has been a while since I have seen the girls from LIGHTSUM."

"Don't worry, you will definitely see it, because it was filmed in the C headquarters building." Hong Shengcheng laughed, "Rather than going out and risking infection to find a place to film, I will definitely choose the safe and reliable C headquarters building!"

"Okay, I'm fine then." Chen Chen was ready to end as usual, "Do you have anything to tell me?"

"A Pink is preparing a 10th anniversary album." Hong Shengcheng actually reported one, "I want to share this good news with you."

Actually, I just want to tell Chen Chen that I have taken good care of A Pink, whom you brought back for me, and your work was not in vain.

"Speaking of A Pink," Chen Chen suddenly thought of something, "Has Cube Entertainment prepared any film and television resources for Na Eun recently?"

"Yes." Hong Shengcheng replied: "Cube Entertainment has its own film and television resources to provide her, and she has not yet grown to the level where she needs to access C headquarters' resources."

"Not all the main roles in C are big productions." Chen Chen mentioned, "When you have nothing to do, communicate more with Director Pei of the Actor Department. Taking more small roles will be good for your growth."

"I understand." Hong Shengcheng ended the topic, "I have finished my talk, we can end it now."

"That's it."

Chen Chen didn't waste any time and hung up the phone.

"It's up to them to take care of their own affairs. Look how well Boss Hong has solved the problem. He doesn't even need you."

Bae Joo-hyun listened to the entire conversation and said something with a smile.

"I really didn't do this well." Chen Chen lowered his head and sighed, "Compared to Integrate, LIGHTSUM has received too little attention from me."

"Because LIGHTSUM has everything when it was born, unlike Integrate where you have to move the things the girls need little by little." Bae Joo Hyun handed her phone to Chen Chen, "Okay, let's not talk about this. I just found information about Jannabi's lead singer Choi Jung Hoon for you. Take a look."

"Well done. I was just thinking of looking for one myself." Chen Chen flipped through a few pages of information casually. "What a talented musician. His singing style and voice are very suitable. Boss Hong has a good eye."

"After all, he has been in the industry for so many years, he must be better than you at this kind of thing." Pei Zhuxuan wanted to laugh, "Geniuses always lose in experience, and often lose in connections."

"That's right." Chen Chen looked far-sighted, "It seems that some work still needs to be handed over to experienced people. I can't do it alone."

"Also, when I recruit people in the future, I will hire fresh graduates with three years of work experience! Three years of work experience, fresh graduates!"

"Ha, I didn't know why others recruited this way before, but now I see it, it all makes sense!"

"..."

Bae Joo-hyun was speechless and felt that she had done something very bad.
