"When the Camellia Blooms" is a super TV series that won the grand prize at the Baeksang Arts Awards.

If you get it, you will make a lot of money. If you don't get it, just being able to participate will also bring good returns. The current situation is that Chen Chen has a great chance of getting "When the Camellia Blooms" in his own hands.

After all, Sun Danfei, who starred in this TV series, is still filming "Mei Qiuli Season 2". Chen Chen is not sure whether the script has fallen into the hands of others, but it is certain that preparations for production have not started yet.

……

"found it."

In just over two days, Shirley slapped the script of "When the Camellia Blooms" on Chen Chen's face.

"Got it? Or simply found it?"

Chen Chen slowly opened his eyes.

"You mentioned the name directly, so it doesn't take any time to find the script, so we got it naturally." Shirley sat down and took a sip of water. "C headquarters is well-known, so there is no reason for failure to actively come to you to buy the script. After all, not all writers in South Korea are at the level of Kim Eun-sook."

"After becoming famous, many things have indeed become easier. No wonder netizens say that after becoming famous, you can meet friends all over the world." Chen Chen glanced at the contract, then at the script, "Get ready to prepare the crew. This "When the Camellia Blooms" will be prepared at the same level as "Hotel Del Luna"."

"So high?" Shirley was a little surprised. "I've read the script, too. It's a romantic suspense drama set in a modern setting. It's a high-risk, low-return type."

"It's okay. Headquarters C can afford the loss. Just consider it as using the profits to continue to exchange for reputation." Chen Chen said nonchalantly.

"Why are you so confident about this script? Do you have inside information?" Shirley looked at Chen Chen curiously. "It's outrageous enough that he can directly name the script, but he also maxed out the budget. This doesn't seem right no matter how you look at it."

"C Headquarters has achieved some success in the field of TV dramas." Chen Chen pointed his finger and made a Korean man's angry gesture, "But even this little achievement is enough for me to gain some friends with sharp eyes in the industry."

"As for friends, before we get to know each other deeply, we must exchange some benefits to make sure that the other party is worthy of being together, and this script is the first benefit given by the other party."

"So just invest with confidence." Chen Chen even believed what he had said. "No one would set a trap for me in the first transaction. Even if they wanted to, they would have to wait until I was trapped and then get deeper and deeper into the trap, right?"

"Just lick the blood on the tip of the knife!" Shirley rolled her eyes at him, "You will suffer someday!"

"Don't worry, by the time I can suffer a loss, C headquarters should be strong enough to pay all kinds of tuition fees. It won't matter if I suffer a little loss then." Chen Chen glanced at the time and stood up. "Let's go, we should go sign the contract."

……

"Why are you here too?" Chen Chen was a little dizzy. "Sun Shengwan, why are you running around like a soy sauce bottle?"

"JYP seniors will be back tomorrow, come to Soy Sauce Bottle for the final practice." Sun Shengwan pouted innocently, "We can't let JYP seniors go to SMART to practice, right?"

"I forgot about this." Although he was defeated, Chen Chen did not stop complaining, "But no matter what, he can't bring you to the contract signing site. It's a bit inappropriate."

"What sense of propriety is needed?" Park Jin-young added, "The entertainment company's position as the number one in market value is about to be lost. It's enough for them not to be in the hospital due to a heart attack. What sense of propriety is needed? Proper propriety, what the hell!"

"Why do I hate hearing that?" Chen Chen narrowed his eyes and retorted, "You're going to make a comeback tomorrow with the song I wrote, but you think Soy Sauce Bottle is going to fall from the top spot? It seems that the work of South Korea's top producer is a negative improvement for you!"

"But Suzy is leaving." Park Jin-young frowned, "Which entertainment company can handle such a big event as Suzy's departure? No matter who it is, their stock will plummet for three days!"

"Wouldn't it be fine if we don't announce it to the public?" Chen Chen looked at him with a hint of disdain. "At most, you'll be scolded for being unkind. Can't you afford to be scolded? Our C headquarters will also have to be scolded along with you!" "So when will we announce it? Are we really going to wait until Suzy's contract expires?" Park Jin Young asked.

"When ITZY gets the first No. 1 on the three major TV stations, it will be fine." Chen Chen gave a specific time. "The rising stock price due to ITZY's gratifying performance and the falling stock price due to Suzy's departure will form a hedge, and the stock price will basically remain in a situation where it is neither rising nor falling."

"Oh, that's right, young people have good brains." Park Jin-young calculated and showed a satisfied smile on his face, "Two weeks is about enough, we can stabilize it."

"You are so confident that you have already achieved the top three in two weeks." Chen Chen teased, "Is there really a secret weapon hidden in the soy sauce bottle?"

"BLACKPINK also won their first top three rankings in the second week of their debut. It shouldn't be too much for ITZY to follow in their footsteps." Park Jin-young's face wrinkled with laughter. "What do you think?"

"I don't have any opinion. 70% of the results depend on the company's operation. Just keep that in mind."

Chen Chen curled his lips, too lazy to say anything more.

"About the fool."

Park Jin-young frowned and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Chen Chen as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Seungwan, come sit in my office for a while. Signing a contract requires confidentiality. You are not suitable to stay here."

Chen Chen turned to Sun Shengwan and asked her to leave first.

"Okay Oppa."

Sun Seungwan stood up, nodded to Sulli, and left obediently.

"It's okay for her to listen to this kind of stuff. She's already a mature artist who's been in the industry for five years."

However, Park Jin-young felt that Chen Chen was making a big deal out of nothing.

"It's okay for a mature artist to listen, but I have to take care of her more often." Chen Chen got back to the point, "Are you talking about the two new programs that SM Entertainment got from C Headquarters? Are you worried?"

"The power of those two programs cannot be underestimated. I'm afraid your song can't stand up to them." Park Jin Young replied.

"That's easy. Just buy more hot searches. The hot searches will compare the first and second seasons, which will directly reduce the value of the second season." Chen Chen grinned. "A program that is not as good as the first season in every aspect wants to significantly increase its stock price? Dream on!"

"..."

If the soy sauce bottle wants to buy hot searches, it will inevitably have to use the Tik Tok platform. Then Chen Chen can sit in the company happily and collect money.

Sell ​​the program to Shamot Company and get one share of the money, then buy hot searches to suppress the program and get another share. After the suppression, the program will elevate the status of the first season made by C headquarters and continue to make money. Mr. Chen is just like Qin Shihuang touching the electric switch, he is so good at winning!
"Hello, bosses! Ah." Suzy observed the slightly depressing atmosphere in the room and asked carefully, "Am I here at the wrong time?"

Chen Chen just laughed out loud.

"No, you came just in time."
