Peninsula 2017: Is the system living in the past?

"Oh, when did you arrive?"

Wangyuan Cave, Wangyuan Road, EPOCH Entertainment.

Noon the next day.

When Jiang Xingchen pushed open the door, the humming of the mining machine was still going on.

To his surprise, Park Ji-yeon was also there.

She was sitting on the worn-out leather sofa in the next office, a tablet propped up on the table, and it sounded like she was watching old T-ara stage videos.

Hearing voices, she looked up.

"Is everyone this relaxed and carefree when running a company these days?" Park Jiyeon teased Jiang Xingchen, who had only arrived close to noon, then patted the plastic lunchbox next to her. "I saved half of Shunyu's pig's trotters for you."

Compared to when we met the night before, there was less confusion in his eyes.

Seeing this scene before him, Jiang Xingchen felt a slight stirring in his heart.

He walked over without any politeness.

He casually picked up a piece of pig's trotter, took a bite, and then took out his phone from his pocket and waved it twice.

"I was just wondering on the way here if you were free. I got my hands on something really good last night!"

"What?" Park Jiyeon asked curiously as she leaned closer.

"A magic that can save you from the 'red and green' auntie aesthetic of MBK." Jiang Xingchen smiled mysteriously.

"That one..."

Upon hearing "red and green," Park Jiyeon immediately understood what he meant.

It seems they've found a suitable stylist.

"Who?"

"I won't tell you yet; I'll tell you after I've reached an agreement with the other party."

"Wow, you seem really confident!"

Seeing the smile on his face, Park Jiyeon responded in an exaggerated tone.

However, she felt that with Jiang Xingchen's current resources, she might not be able to find a particularly suitable stylist.

So, I secretly planned to use my own resources to look for it later.

"Don't doubt me, the other party is a very capable person, I can handle it."

"Inside..."

"Next."

"What's next?"

"Okay, next," Jiang Xingchen swallowed the meat in his mouth, his eyes suddenly becoming extremely serious, "Next, we need to start solving the most crucial problem."

Park Jiyeon looked at him, puzzled.

The core issue.

What is it?

Jiang Xingchen stood up, walked out of the office, and stood between the two rooms.

The flashing blue light from the mining machine reflected on his face, making him look both crazy and confident.

"Jiyeon, do you think T-ara's old songs were good?"

"Of course," Park Jiyeon said without hesitation, "Day By Day, Roly Poly, and Lovey Dovey are all classics."

"That's right, they're all classics."

"So what does this have to do with the core issue?"

"A classic is indeed a classic, but Jiyeon, have you noticed that a classic can be seen as retro, or it can be seen as something from the past?"

Jiang Xingchen took three steps at a time and stood back in front of Park Jiyeon, looking directly into her eyes.

"Since you still have ideas about T-ara's future, you can't just stay in the past. That's the core issue we need to address."

"I understand what you mean."

After he said that, the doubt in Park Jiyeon's eyes dissipated, but what followed was an even more practical problem.

They have not yet terminated their contract with MBK Entertainment, and being bound by the contract, making changes is not an easy task.

MBK Entertainment.

Or rather, Kim Kwang-soo won't just sit idly by and watch them develop at this stage.

pat...

Jiang Xingchen snapped her fingers.

He then laid out his thoughts on this part.

In his view, all the business deals that couldn't be agreed upon were simply due to unequal distribution of profits.

But what if they don't want any benefits?

A few months may not sound like a long time, but in Jiang Xingchen's view, there are a lot of things that can be done in that time.

So he didn't want to waste this time.

Therefore, Kim Kwang-soo is an obstacle that cannot be bypassed.

Compared to sharing the profits, he wanted to use this time to rebuild T-ara's fame.

More precisely, he hoped to use his influence to bring them back to their peak.

"Is there enough time?"

Park Jiyeon understood his thoughts.

While filled with anticipation, there was also some uncertainty.

Including September, it's only been four months.

"Whether it's too late or not, I'll set this goal aside for now!"

Jiang Xingchen said firmly.

He then continued the unfinished topic, stating frankly that if he wanted to return to his peak, he couldn't rely solely on nostalgia.

"Something new?"

"To put it dramatically, we need a new weapon, something that can unleash your 'femme fatale' aura to the fullest, forcing everyone to kneel down and call you 'Queen'."

"Oh, you're calling me a wicked woman?"

"Cough cough... Annyeongh..."

Jiang Xingchen was taken aback by Park Jiyeon's strange attention.

He waved his hand to deny the claim, stating that it was merely a metaphor intended to showcase something new and rekindle the charm.

After all, one cannot live in the past forever.

As he spoke, he walked to the computer, took a USB drive out of his pocket, and inserted it.

"Don't think I was sleeping in; I put in a lot of effort to get this done last night."

"Watch carefully and learn well."

After the USB drive reading interface popped up on the screen, he didn't forget to turn around and take credit.

This is a video.

Last night, after leaving here, I suddenly decided to try my luck at YG Entertainment.

Who knew that not only did they get the contact information of Park Ji-hye, the head of Blackpink's styling team, but they also had the unexpected bonus of completing a system task.

'Beginner to Advanced Dance'.

Having already experienced the "Beginner Culinary Skills Mastery" course, he naturally understands its true value.

Therefore, when he stepped back onto the subway.

A new idea has emerged.

"Collecting the original divine faces" is the main mission given to him by the system, so he is very clear that in the future, he will be bound to the six members of T-ara in this circle.

Therefore, relevant plans were made long ago.

When he received the new side quest last night, he extracted one of the small items from his plan.

It can only be said that the system favors artists who are likely to be popular in the future and have a long-lasting career.

The reward given is that it should be better than that of the average person!

Putting aside the fact that Kim Jisoo is terrible at both singing and dancing, her resources are undeniably top-notch.

If it weren't for this reward, he wouldn't have been able to execute the plan so quickly!

Tsk tsk...

Lost in thought, his finger hovered over the Enter key, a hint of anticipation curving his lips.

"Ji-yeon, now I'll show you the dance of the future..."

"I've learned it. Now you can kneel down and call me 'Queen'?"

"ah!"

...

...

It was a little past noon.

Wangyuan Cave, EPOCH Entertainment.

The air in the room became hot and dry due to the direct sunlight.

But at this moment, what was more intense than the sunlight was Park Jiyeon's gaze fixed intently on the monitor.

"This is... the 'new weapon' you were talking about?"

Her voice was slightly hoarse.

Although the current mainstream trend in girl group choreography emphasizes memorable elements, rhythm, and stage presence.

However, synchronized dance moves and complex positioning remain the gold standard for judging the strength of a girl group.

It's something you may not need, but you can't live without.

Just one minute ago, Jiang Xingchen pressed the Enter key.

Park Jiyeon originally thought that what she would see might be related to this.

But the image that popped up on the screen was completely beyond her expectations.
