"You two will actually pose a problem for me. The first pre-shooting meeting after the first anniversary event was to discuss your getting off the car."

"It really is."

Kang Nong opened and closed his mouth, repeating it several times without knowing what to say. This happened too suddenly and too ridiculously.

The pillar of my family didn't even discuss it with you, but one day I suddenly came over and told you that I was going to run away. What kind of bullshit plot is this?
"We can't help the show anymore, and the show can't help us anymore. Isn't it a good thing for everyone to say goodbye now that no one dislikes anyone?"

"If you wait until the trouble is unpleasant before you get off the car, wouldn't it look a bit like running away." Chen Chen said with a smile: "I don't want to get to that point, and I believe the program team doesn't want to either, but I also believe that The day will definitely come, so it’s better for everyone to just slip away first.”

"Why is it bound to be unpleasant?! Why do you have the final say? There are so many lessons learned from the past, so I won't mention it. The question is why do you think you are not helpful to the show?" Kang Niang's table clapped loudly, “It’s true that the show is no longer helpful to you now, but it’s complete bullshit that you are no longer helpful to the show.”

"The record holder for the highest ratings, the face of the show, and an absolute killer of ratings when they appear on the scene. They are currently the most popular couple in the history of the show. Any show needs such a combination."

"But now you tell me that such a pair is going to get off the train without any warning. Who can accept this?!"

Kang Niang was still emotional.

"The new leading couple Ryu Jun Yeol and Lee Hye Ri have stabilized, and the new couple Nam Joo Hyuk and Lee Kyung Kyung, who have great potential, are also preparing for their first filming. If we don't leave, we will only hinder their development. This is not true. And it’s not a good thing.”

"Back to the point, the content of today's meeting is to discuss how to shoot the final farewell, not to listen to you complain here."

"The contract has been well fulfilled, and all the due obligations to the show have been fulfilled. Unless you can persuade the idiot company and me to get off the show at the same time, it will be a foregone conclusion."

"I don't suggest you try it, that's stupid."

"so."

"If you can calm down and have a good chat today, we will have a good talk now about how to get us off the bus in a dignified manner. If you can't calm down, we will come back another day."

"how?"

Chen Chen gave an ultimatum with a cold face.

"..."

"Wait for me to drink some water first." Kang Niao's mood suddenly calmed down a lot, "You can give me the farewell plan you prepared first, and I will read it together."

Pei Zhuhyun handed over the concert plan, but Chen Chen gave him nothing because he had not prepared anything.

"Didn't you prepare a plan?" Pei Zhuxuan glanced at him in surprise.

"Yeah." Chen Chen nodded, "It's better to listen to the program team on how to design the final farewell, and I quite agree with the plan you came up with."

"I don't agree!" Kang Niang had already read the plan in a few words and rejected the plan in one sentence, "Your farewell must be gentle and calm, and it must not be a grand stage."

"Oh, that makes sense too."

Chen Chen tentatively understood everything.

"why?"

But here there is Pei Zhuxuan who doesn't understand at all, stretching his neck to look at Chen Chen curiously.

"The program team wants to attract fans." Chen Chen said unceremoniously: "Unlike a grand farewell, a calm and indifferent departure will leave the audience with thoughts." "Let's have a grand farewell. After watching it, the audience will know that you are leaving, and there will be no regrets.”

"A calm and gentle departure will make the audience feel that there is hope of coming back, because this kind of farewell is not worthy of our status, and then the audience will feel that we are only leaving temporarily."

"At this time, as long as the program team does not issue a formal announcement to get off, we will always have a chance to come back."

"Probably this is a way to calculate the audience." Chen Chen curled his lips, "No matter how profound it is, a layman like me can't see it."

"There's nothing profound about it. You, a layman, have completely seen it through." Kang Niao nodded and admitted, "We can't let you make a big fuss and get off the train with a decisive look. That would be too harmful to the show. Da, it will take us a long time to recover, so you have to listen to us when it comes to getting off the bus."

"Okay, I mean you are responsible for arranging the final performance, right?" Chen Chen was quite happy, "That's good. It saves me the trouble. We originally planned to leave it to the program team."

"I will call you over in two days after our program team has sorted out a suitable plan. Let's go here today." Kang Niao issued an eviction order, "I still hope that you will think more about it when you go back and discuss it together. Wondering if it’s definitely necessary to get off the show.”

"We will discuss it." Chen Chen replied perfunctorily, then grabbed Pei Zhuxuan's arm, "Let's go, let's discuss it again."

……

There was nothing to discuss, everything was settled, and there was no reason to turn back. Chen Chen just thought it was still early and planned to have something to drink with Pei Zhuxuan.

"Have you finished recording your song?" Chen Chen asked casually.

"No, I only recorded the title track last time." Pei Zhuhyun shook her cup and replied, "But the title song has been produced. Do you want to listen to it?"

"You can listen to it."

He must have heard it before, but Chen Chen had no reason to refuse.

The quality of Red Velvet's "Russian Roulette" cannot be overemphasized. No matter how much I listen to it, Chen Chen still thinks it sounds good.

"How about it? Can it go into your ears?" Pei Zhuxuan asked eagerly.

"Whatever can reach my ears, the person who made your songs is also a very powerful producer, I can't just make random comments." Chen Chen smiled bitterly and said: "Anyway, just go to the show and you will definitely get good results. There are too many things to say, and I can’t say them either.”

"You wrote the title song for EXO sunbae's comeback in two days, right? How does "Russian Roulette" compare to "Monster"?"

Bae Zhuhyun asked a very difficult question.

"Men's group songs and women's group songs are not on the same track, how can they compare?" Chen Chen changed the topic, "Let's have a good drink. Instead of thinking about what is available and what is not, we should think about what plans the program team will arrange for us. .”

"Any project is fine. Anyway, there will be no problem shooting with you." Pei Zhuxuan pouted, "But if I have to speak for myself, the last scene of the last episode is when we return to the restaurant where we first met. Eating is a good choice, and it can be considered a beginning and an end."

"Hi~ Not bad." Chen Chen was startled, "It's really good, what an amazing plan! I want to record it and forward it to PD Kang, telling him that this was Irene's idea!"

"No, no, no, don't do this!" Pei Zhuxuan suddenly became shy and stopped her again and again, "I just thought about what I wanted to do with you at the end of the show. I didn't think about the show at all!"

"Okay, then don't say it."

Chen Chen smiled and pinched Pei Zhuxuan's pink cheeks. He was very satisfied with the answer.
