148. Road trip (2)

Joo Soo-in checked the last camera and shouted at the people.

“Everyone, don’t deviate from the angle as much as possible! In particular, the boss, please tell us in advance when moving. One camera has to catch up!”

“Yes!”

Joo Soo-in was doing a great job as the head of the camera team.

“Everyone has a nice atmosphere and the food is delicious, but it’s a You Tube shoot. You must never forget it. you know? Everyone enjoys it, but keep it to the limit!”

“yes-! Teacher!”

Na Young-jin also warned the staff with a smile on her face. Like I just said, this isn’t a trip, it’s a You Tube shoot. In other words, it was a web entertainment on Channel Challenge Everything.

Of course, if it was a real TV show, the cast would have to hold onto the camera and check the audio no matter what they were drinking or doing, but this was You Tube!

Several cameras were taking really tight shots of this place.

Isn’t it nice to have a little free time? That would be a very long schedule.

Chii Iik-!

As the number of people is the same, the trimmed meat goes up on the grill divided into three and starts to make a pleasant sound.

“It sounds great! But why is American meat so big? The size of the meat is enormous.”

“And it’s cheap! It’s super cheap!”

“Isn’t meat always right?”

The staff watched the meat being grilled in a daze, humming a song as if they were happy with the deliciously grilled meat.

Jaeik didn’t see it, but it seemed that there was alcohol in the other refrigerator, and people had various kinds of alcohol in their hands.

“Wow. What’s that?”

“I do not know. I just made a side dish with the ingredients in the fridge. it’s delicious?”

Jaeik made a side menu by demonstrating his cooking skills after a long time. It was a kind of coleslaw that went well with fatty meat.

There were a lot of different things in it to say it was just an original coleslaw.

“yes! Big. Goes well with beer too. It’s really great to get rid of all the grease from the meat, right?”

The staff burst into pleasant laughter that was ripe for praise. Is this the true taste of cooking?

It’s the kind of taste that someone eats and enjoys their food and makes them happy.

“eat a lot. Because I did a lot.”

“I will enjoy this food!”

Turning over the re-cooked meat, I handed over a little more coleslaw.

“The atmosphere is awesome.”

Kang Seok, who was watching the scene, also smiled with a slightly reddened face as if he was in a good mood.

“The night view is awesome, so the atmosphere is awesome too.”

“right. Isn’t it a sight you never know when you’ll see it again?”

As Kang Seok said, the densely packed stars in the night sky were making this atmosphere romantic. To the point of exaggerating, I feel that there are more twinkling stars than the blue light in the night sky.

“Now, grill in moderation and have a drink. Like you said, when will I see a scene like this again?”

The first round of meat was grilled once by Jaeik, and now they were gathering around the largest bonfire among threes and fives, grilling meat, chatting, and talking.

Jaeik smiled at the sight, sat down on a chair, and drank beer over a piece of meat.

As Kang Seok said, it was an amazing combination. The day was a bit chilly, but that was all I could do with the heat of the campfire and the warmth of my coat.

“You can’t miss the song!”

When everyone got drunk enough, someone brought a Bluetooth speaker and connected it to a cell phone to play music.

An old pop song that matched the current atmosphere was playing on the speakers, and Jaeik blankly looked up at the stars in the night sky.

All sorts of thoughts popped up and subsided over and over again. Songs about the stars, poet Yoon Dong-ju’s starry night, star paintings, and then, all of a sudden, Van Gogh’s starry night comes to mind.

It seemed that all of this situation was stimulating Jaeik’s emotions.

Jaeik came out with a guitar in the camper. Isn’t it the best instrument in this situation?

“Five! The boss is singing!”

When Jaeik brought out his guitar and started tuning, the song that was playing through the speakers stopped, and everyone who had been talking in twos and threes immediately listened to the sound of the guitar that Jaeik was about to play.

(Starry, starry night~ Paint your palette blue and grey.)

Don Macklin’s ‘Vincent’

It’s a fairly old song, but it was chosen because of Vincent Van Gogh, who suddenly came to mind while looking at the stars in the night sky.

I wondered if it would be a perfect fit for this desperate yet lyrical atmosphere.

Just like that, when Jaeik finished his first song. In the meantime, the people who listened to the song turned their chairs toward Jae-Ik and sent a baptism of applause like a fever.

“Wow! oh my god! Aren’t you singing for the first time in a while, boss?”

“Suddenly, he sings really well.”

“Encore-!”

Because it was a really great song.

‘Come to think of it, it seems like it’s been a while since I’ve called.’

I hadn’t sang properly since the duet with Jeongyeon. Even if I did OST or BGM work often.

Around the time I sang a couple more songs at the request of the staff for an encore.

“uh?”

A line of inspiration that suddenly passed through my head.

Jaeik picked up the tablet right next to him and frantically drew down the music that came to his head, not wanting to miss that one ray of inspiration.

And when Na Young-jin turned her head to take a close-up of the scene with the camera, with her eyes shining.

Already, Joo Soo-in jumped up and took a camera and carefully pointed it at a line that did not interfere with Jae-Ik.

‘It’s awesome.’

I got goosebumps. Because Jaeik’s current appearance was perfect for his job as an artist.

In Na Young-jin’s opinion, Jae-ik was a heavenly artist. That’s genius too. Because he was showing his prominence in every field he touched.

Also, how good a song that came up with such crazy inspiration and wrote it down.

When he turned his head, Um Kang-seok was busy searching for something on his laptop instead of looking at Jae-ik.

“What are you looking for?”

“How to register music copyright in the US. It’s pretty complicated. I guess I’ll have to get a lawyer too. At this rate, I will set up a US branch of Challenge Everything Factory.”

“Huh…”

“If you still want to continue promoting in the US, you will have to make it. I need to renew my visa too.”

Joo Soo-in, who captures Jae-ik’s song with a camera as soon as he sings it, or Eom Kang-seok, who learns how to register the song’s copyright and even establishes a branch office in preparation for later.

It was amazing. Everyone at this Challenge Everything Factory had a clear understanding of what they had to do.

‘It’s good that you came. It’s a really good choice.’

When he gave up his position as a star producer for a giant company called TVM. And the place I went was You Tube channel. When it was said that it was also under Jaeik.

In the media, people around them expressed great concern, but Na Young-jin was convinced. This is definitely a good choice.

And as a result, two dramas with huge viewership ratings and the title of perfect conversion of drama directors.

Just by walking the path of that genius artist together. Even if you don’t play the lead or lead role.

“Turn it off!”

Early in the morning, Jaeik woke up by stretching himself. The capture of inspiration that began late at night was not over until midnight.

And the actual time I fell asleep was at dawn. I don’t know if I’m supposed to stay here for a few days. If not, wouldn’t it be another way to go to the next destination?

Besides, isn’t there a reason why I decided to do this road trip in Las Vegas today? A surprise surprise for fans.

To be precise, it was a surprise event that the fan’s friend applied for instead.

When only a few staff members got up to check the camera and organize their luggage. Jaeik climbed a nearby hill with a small hand-held camera.

I didn’t know it last night, but the view of Joshua Tree National Park during the day also gave me a pretty majestic feeling, the wide spread look.

“ruler! Let’s start the day with strength today!”

Upon returning to the dorm, the staff, who had already completed their preparations for departure, stretched out and prepared to move again.

Everyone looked bright, probably because they had a good time last night.

“Yesterday’s video was chosen as the best. Sincerity.”

The car started again for Las Vegas, and Na Young-jin opened the story package with a happy expression.

It was because the impact Jaeik showed me last night was so strong, I checked the video just in case, and ideas about how to save this scene popped up in my head.

“So, when do you think the song will be finished?”

“I do not know. Now that the framework has been set to some extent, wouldn’t it be fine to complete it during the trip?”

I didn’t think it would take that long. In fact, if you organize the sheet music you wrote yesterday and tinker with it a little, you’ll be able to play it. Of course, it would take more time to add lyrics and increase the volume.

“Good. You can get tangible results.”

“By the way Las Vegas. Are you talking about that?”

“yes. I already told you everything.”

The purpose of going to Las Vegas is only one. It was because of the surprise event Jaeik chose.

To recap, your friend is getting married in Las Vegas and is a huge fan of yours. So, the wedding is also a world-themed wedding, and if the time is right, it is a long letter asking if you can attend and shine.

“Then, a world-themed wedding. It is also a bit peculiar.”

“Don’t we also occasionally have themed weddings or something like that?”

“It’s still not common, though.”

As Kang Seok said, should we really say that Korean and Korean marriage cultures are a little similar but different?

“So. I didn’t know, so I looked it up, but it seems that the couple prepared everything from the outfits to the setting themselves. I hear there’s even an Elvis Presley wedding venue in Las Vegas.”

“really?”

“Anyway, I even got permission to shoot on You Tube.”

After running for more than 4 hours, I got out of the desolate wasteland and started to see buildings sparsely, and the view of the Las Vegas we knew began to come into my eyes one by one.

Maybe because it was still afternoon, I couldn’t see the brightly lit Sin City aspect, but Las Vegas during the day is still amazing.

The wedding is around 5pm.

I wondered if I would be able to arrive with plenty of time if I arrived, got a place to stay, reorganized, and set off.

“Since it is a wedding venue, we will keep the number of guests to a minimum. Except for those who go to the wedding hall, everyone else is free time! Please be on time for departure tomorrow morning!”

According to Jaeik’s declaration, all those who did not follow the wedding cheered and scattered.

Only 4 people are going to the wedding. Jaeik and Kangseok, Joo Sooin and Na Youngjin.

After borrowing one from a small rental car, Jaeik headed to the address written on the invitation.

“But can we just go and really congratulate you?”

“I hope so. Sing a congratulatory song or whatever. I have to do something.”

I tried to find out if I should do something similar to the officiating ceremony like in Korea, but the officiating ceremony in the US is a permission system, so that is not possible. However, it was ambiguous to just congratulate and come, so what Jaeik thought was a congratulatory song.

Something like the theme song of the other side world. How nice.

“Is this here? Hey, isn’t the atmosphere a joke?”

“So. I must have heard it wasn’t a money joke.”

Let’s go to the place written on the wedding invitation. The atmosphere is more solemn than the usual bright atmosphere. Should I say that the atmosphere of the world behind the scenes I wrote is exuded?

I don’t know who it was, but I wonder if they had a hard time making this set.

‘by the way. Do I need to prepare something like a gift…?’
