No matter how noisy it was outside, Chen Chen threw his phone away and began to write songs in seclusion.

One song for BTOB and one song for CLC. This can be considered as the greeting gift Chen Chen gave to everyone after joining Cube Entertainment.

I won’t give it to the girl group (G)I-DLE. They are already very popular and don’t need Chen Chen to write songs for them. Besides, Chen Chen is a little reluctant to write songs for them.

BTOB has gained considerable popularity in the six years since its debut. Chen Chen's help can indeed help them to take a further step, but overall the help is limited.

CLC was born with bad luck. Even if Chen Chen gave the work a high probability, it would only be a flash in the pan and could not change its fate.

In other words, it’s almost the same as not giving any works to these two idol groups by Chen Chen, and it doesn’t affect the overall situation.

But PENTAGON is different from (G)I-DLE, if they get it, they may really take off, especially the girls!
What if Chen Chen wrote the songs himself to help them get through the difficult period, wouldn’t Cube Entertainment get better immediately?

If iHQ saw this and refused to leave, how could Chen Chen swallow it? ! This song is not worth writing!
"Yeah, I'm busy." Boss Hong suddenly called, and Chen Chen picked up the phone casually, "What's going on?"

"Meet and chat?"

"Uh, that's fine. Let's just go near SM. I'm going to record a song there tonight."

Although he didn't know why Hong Shengcheng asked to meet, Chen Chen always felt a little uneasy.

……

My hunch was right, it was indeed a bad thing.

To sum up, Hong Seung-sung felt that his side had enough strength and wanted to keep Hyun-A.

"We can't stay." Chen Chen responded coldly, "If we insist on staying, it means we want to fight a decisive battle right now. We will definitely lose."

"Not necessarily." Hong Shengcheng retorted: "You have seen your influence. They dare not act rashly."

"Why do you want me to use up my influence for what you want to do?" Chen Chen narrowed his eyes. "The first thing you do when you find your companions is to overturn the previously agreed terms for your own selfish desires and suck their blood?"

"I know you have a good relationship with Hyun-A. A friendship of more than ten years is indeed something that is hard to ignore. After all, life doesn't have that many decades." Chen Chen slowly softened his tone, but unfortunately it hardened again as he spoke, and it couldn't soften at all. "But Hyun-A is only leaving Cube Entertainment, not the entertainment industry. An artist like her will not be unable to take care of herself just because you, Hong Shengcheng, are gone. You should wake up!"

"..."

"I was obsessed." Hong Seung-sung lowered his head and sighed, "I always thought that Cube might not be Cube without HyunA, and forgot that Cube has actually gone a long way."

"Speaking of which," Hong Shengcheng suddenly became curious and raised his head and asked, "If I force you to save Hyun-ah, what will you do?"

"How can you force me? Should I kneel here and kowtow or hang myself?" Chen Chen was speechless. "Think about it yourself. Can you force me?"

"Oh my god, what you said is so harsh." Hong Shengcheng sighed deeply, "But it's absolutely true. I really don't know how to force you."

"Don't even think about forcing me to do anything, because that will make me think you're stupid." Chen Chen added a little more depth to his harsh words, "I don't want to be a partner with an idiot at all. A stupid teammate is scarier than a strong enemy. If something like that really happens, I will immediately choose to cooperate with iHQ and kick you out of Cube Entertainment first."

"Okay, stop talking," Hong Shengcheng said with a bitter smile, "I would do the same if I were in your position, but when that stupid teammate refers to me, I always feel bad."

"Let's talk about the work." Hong Shengcheng hurriedly changed the subject, "You just said you were writing a song, do you have any ideas?" "I have a lot of ideas, and I don't know which one to choose for a while." Chen Chen was very distressed, "If I use too much power, I'm afraid it will be too much, but if I use too little power, it will feel like it will damage my reputation."

“Can you determine the marketability of a song before you write it?”

This ability is nothing less than a miracle, and the producer Hong Seung-sung couldn't help but use honorifics.

"Do you think my market research is in vain? Even if I can't be 100% sure, at least I can be more than 70% sure." Chen Chen said, "It's enough for the work to exert 70% of its power. It's impossible for it to exert 100%, right?"

"People's minds are always different. It's scary to let others understand 70% of the producer's intentions." Hong Shengcheng thought of something and couldn't help laughing. "But there are also examples where it is 120% and the scene is shocking!"

When it reaches 120%, it is usually because people actively add extra value to the work. It is wishful thinking under the right time, place and people. There are not many examples, but it is not uncommon.

"Okay, let's stop here today." Chen Chen did not respond to his topic and said coldly: "After returning, have a good talk with Hyun-ya, enlighten her and help her find a good place to go. This is the only thing we can do."

"As for places to go, is C headquarters a good place to go?" asked Hong Seung-sung.

"Not really." Chen Chen glanced at him. "That would make people think that we joined forces just to transfer Hyun-ah to C headquarters, and I would be spitted at."

"Please recommend a good place." Hong Shengcheng pleaded, "I believe in your vision."

Chen Chen didn't even blink and gave the answer directly: "Big Hit."

Dahei's development has been a bit bumpy in recent years. He always feels that there is a shadow on his head that has been destroying his development. He feels uncomfortable but helpless because they don't know who can reach that dark cloud.

In fact, it’s not Dahei’s development, it’s more about BTS’s development.

After kneeling down to the foreign market and fully integrating into it, we did get a good response, but a good response alone will not allow us to reach the stage we want to go to. We are always a little short of strength and height.

This gap should be due to the works, but Dahei has tried his best to support the works, and even tried to buy works from Chen Chen, but was rejected because Chen Chen "happened" to be busy at that time.

Opening up foreign markets is not so smooth. Every small step requires unimaginable resources. The market within South Korea is also constantly being lost. No one will accept them if they want to come back. Dahei feels very bitter.

"Is Dahei suitable?" Hong Shengcheng was a little skeptical. "They don't have much market share in China, so they don't seem to be a good match for HyunA."

"HyunA is so popular in South Korea, if we accept her, won't there be a domestic market?" Chen Chen even thought about the follow-up operations, "Marketing, marketing, selling sympathy, we will cooperate here, and ensure that the next comeback will be a big hit."

"You have to believe in Bang Si Hyuk's ability!" Chen Chen said earnestly, "Whether it's his ability as a producer or his ability to manage a company, he is one of the best in South Korea. He is definitely a good home for him!"

This may sound funny later, but in 2018, there was no doubt that Bang Si Hyuk was the number one producer and company operator in South Korea.

That's why Chen Chen wanted to send HyunA, this little bomb, to Fatty Fang to increase the difficulty. It would be a good thing for everyone if Hybe, this troublemaker, did not show up.

"Then," Hong Shengcheng hesitated, "Try it?"

"Of course we have to try!" Chen Chen nodded without hesitation, "Remember not to charge any fees when you let Hyun-ya go, and even give Dahei something if possible! After all, we are asking someone to take care of her, so we have to be polite."
