"We won't talk about things at the national level. We'll just talk about the situation we have to face as an entertainment company."

"To be honest, the Chinese market is useless to South Korean entertainment companies. Do you agree with this statement?"

Park Jin-young's speech was very rude, but he hit the nail on the head.

"Yes, it's really useless." Chen Chen poured himself a glass of water, sat on the sofa and slowly chatted with Park Zhenying, "The only products that can come in are albums, other peripherals and other products, but the entertainment company cannot make money from these things. What money did you get?”

"Projects such as film and television variety shows, advertising endorsements, concert tours, etc., which are very profitable, are impossible to enter. It is very embarrassing."

“The market is so fat, but you can’t get enough of it. This feeling is very torturous, and often even makes people feel ill-will toward it.”

"That's why the Chinese market doesn't get respect here, and that's why there are so many things that are humiliated every day in the eyes of netizens."

"As long as you are really a financial sponsor, there is nothing you can't do to thank you, and there is nothing you can't get along with money."

"So it's normal to have a situation where I can't eat the meat in my mouth. I also want to curse or slander someone, and deliberately make that person angry a few times."

"In general, I feel like I can't eat the grapes and say the grapes are sour, but the grapes are really sweet and I really can't eat them."

"This is the dilemma faced by South Korean entertainment companies in the Chinese market. Am I right?" Chen Chen looked at Park Zhenying with some confusion in his eyes, "What do you want to talk about when you mention this to me?"

"I just want to give you a little heads up." Park Zhenying started chatting, "It seems that C Department's plans for idols are only prepared for the Chinese market. I think you are working too hard like that."

"Don't look at me with that look. We don't have a business-only relationship. As friends and colleagues, I can say a few words to you that are entirely for your benefit."

"I know you are from China, and C Headquarters is also an entertainment company of China. Even the two major backers behind it are very, very amazing companies in China, but this does not mean that you can let your idols enter China just like you go home. The market is full of food, can you understand?”

"Because the group you created is still a Korean group after all, and the main activity area is South Korea, at least in the early stages of building fame. Under such prerequisites, your decision to enter China is not safe. Once you don't receive special care, you will Facing the same dilemma as us.”

"So I hope you will think more about it, and I want to give you a reminder today." Park Zhenying showed a generous side, "But I didn't expect that you already have a very clear understanding of the market, so it saves me the trouble. Less saliva."

"Thank you, Brother Zhenying, for your concern." Chen Chen thanked him seriously, "I will think about it carefully when I get back."

"Then I won't keep you." Park Zhenying stood up and said goodbye, "Remember to send the contract over later."

……

After returning to Headquarters C to complete the contract matters, Chen Chen went home with a relaxed step.

Today is another rewarding day.

As for the things that Park Zhenying raised as a friend that he was worried about, Chen Chen didn't take them to heart at all, let alone consider them.

Park Zhenying's worry is correct, because from the information he learned, this kind of worry must be resolved properly, otherwise the company will suffer big losses if things go beyond the expected range.

However, the information Chen Chen had hidden was really too much and too useful. He had his own way to solve the problems he faced.

For example, he can specially design a debut variety show and ask the two eldest brothers to be the backers to promote it in the country, and by the way, he can build momentum by saying that this is a group debuting in China.

Or Chen Chen could just lower his head and beg for help, humbly asking for help in putting it in. That would also be possible.

How can I put it, there are examples of the Crown Group being able to operate in China, so the C headquarters group cannot be greatly hindered in this regard.

There are many other ways that can be used, so I won’t mention them, which is a bit embarrassing.

And when it comes to the fundamental issue of company development, the development and growth of C headquarters does not really rely on its own idol section. Chen Chen's final attitude is whether he can enter or not.

Anyway, even if there is no Chinese market, you can still make a lot of money relying on the South Korean market and some other overseas markets. Who cares?
"Let's think about what kind of work to give to Mr. JYP, and choose one that suits him. His kindness will be well worth it."

"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Chen Chen noticed something was wrong here, "I asked for the work, but there seems to be no talk about paying me."

"Did we talk? No!" "I said this guy suddenly talked so much and acted like he was worried about me. It turns out he was planning to prostitute me for free!"

Chen Chen felt as if he had grasped a certain truth!
But no matter what, you still have to choose the songs carefully. If there is no direct benefit, then convert it into adult love, and you can make money back sooner or later.

It's not easy to owe Chen Chen a favor. If you owe someone, you must pay it back.

You said you don't want to pay it back? Can you still control me? !

"Sassy, ​​retro, middle-aged uncle. Got it!"

Using these characteristics as anchors to swim in the ocean of memory, Chen Chen quickly caught the right work.

"Save Your Tears", this remix song between The Weeknd and Sister A impressed Chen Chen deeply.

It is no exaggeration to say that Chen Chen met The Weeknd from "Save Your Tears", and then he learned that this song was originally sung by The Weeknd solo. When the remixed version became popular, the original singer had already released the song for a year. .

It was a little embarrassing, but it didn't stop Chen Chen from reproducing it.

"Well, let's make a mark, put together a general framework, and then write it out next year."

"Consider who you want to give the female voice to."

……

"It shouldn't be a problem for Seungwan to collaborate on a song with an artist from another company, right?"

Chen Chen looked at Pei Zhuxuan who suddenly visited and asked seriously.

Pei Zhuxuan rolled her eyes in anger.

"I came here to bring you food out of kindness, and you asked about other people's affairs as soon as you came?"

"You won't count anyone else after winning, right?" Chen Chen said weakly, then quickly ran to the lunch box, "I made something delicious today, I'm so looking forward to it!"

"Don't expect it. I accidentally bought too much while playing songs, and we took the unopened ones back to the dormitory." Pei Zhuxuan explained the origin of the food, "I made fried rice and it felt very delicious. I heard you said you didn't eat. I just wanted to send it to you.”

"In other words," Bae Zhuhyun concluded, "it's just leftover fried rice."

"You have to use leftover rice for fried rice. It's not good to use fresh rice." Chen Chen took a bite and exclaimed with satisfaction, "Let's go watch TV."

"What do you mean by what you just asked Shengwan? Do you want to send a collaborator?"

Pei Zhuxuan was a little concerned about what Chen Chen said at the beginning, and asked one more question when turning on the TV.

"It's not me, it's someone else, but it's my work." Chen Chen replied casually.

"It's your work, so there must be no problem." Pei Zhuxuan said firmly: "There is no way the company will not let him go."

"Well, then it's settled." Chen Chen buried his head in eating fried rice and said casually: "When you go back, remember to ask Shengwan to treat you to dinner. It's you who allowed her to win this song."

"What does this have to do with me?"

Pei Zhuhyun was puzzled.

"It was your appearance that made me choose her." Chen Chen blinked, "Originally, I was thinking of Xiuzhi."
