[113] Talent (6)

Ennet’s entertainment department was bustling from morning.

The day the genius producer of the Q&G label visits.

PD Tak Seong-soo held a meeting with the writers.

“Writer Kim, have you seen the list of candidates for the Grand Bell Awards?”

“Absolutely.”

Grand Bell Awards Film Festival.

Isn’t it one of the three major film festivals in Korea along with Baeksang Arts Awards and Blue Dragon Film Festival?

「Revenge Girl」 Was nominated for six categories, including the Best Picture Award.

It’s 8 million works, so at least one or two will burn.

“Before it even starts, you promote the broadcast properly.”

“If Solar Complete appears as a mentor…”

“Are we really going to have an accident this time?”

“That’s it!”

It is safe to say that this year’s Korean entertainment industry is truly ‘the year of Solar’.

The five girls swept all the broadcasters.

Did you go out here and there like an octopus?

‘… A man who does not know failure.’

All broadcasts were at least moderate, or more.

Chief Jung’s discerning eyes are inevitably famous in the entertainment industry.

“Let’s extend the recruitment period for our Girls On Top trainees.”

“Maybe?”

“That’s how it should be. Chief Jung will raise it.”

“Aha.”

I didn’t even need to unfollow.

Selecting new trainees produced by ‘he’ who raised Solar.

Talented girls from all over the country will flock to it like a cloud.

“I couldn’t even imagine it when I was filming Top Idol last year.”

“Yes. I didn’t expect Solar to be this big.”

To survive in the flood of pouring girl groups.

It is as difficult as a camel passing through the eye of a needle.

“Isn’t Q&G becoming like Friends?”

“Umm, no matter how high-end it is, it’s amazing.”

“Solar made her debut in March of last year.”

“…”

Considering her debut year, it was not unreasonable.

Isn’t Diana already a Billboard composer?

Knock, Knock-

Then, Jeong Soo-ho knocked on the knock in his meeting room and opened the door.

Next to him was manager Eom, who followed him like an assistant.

“Chief Jeong, are you here?”

“Yes. PD-nim, it’s been a while.”

“Ahahahaha.”

A person I’ve been keeping an eye on since I was filming Top Idol last year.

I met Jeong Soo-ho again, who raised Solar since Road.

Unlike then, thoroughly from Eul’s point of view.

‘With Tumble Investment…’

He was definitely someone to relate to.

We received investment proposals before production.

“Here, Chief.”

“Yes. PD.”

“They said they would invest in Tumble Invest this time.”

“Oh, I heard.”

“Has the manager recommended it by any chance?”

“It’s a bit grandiose to say it’s a recommendation.”

“…”

Soon, Manager Umji-yu, who is more proud of himself next to him.

If you have a strong boss like this, you’ll do it.

“First of all, Solar only goes one day a week.”

“Yes? On the day of additional filming…”

“In that case, I’ll check the schedule and tell you.”

“… All right.”

In fact, this much was natural.

“And the part where I go out as a judge is…”

Soon, negative words came out of his mouth.

“Honestly, I don’t want to.”

“Ah, um… I was thinking of promoting it as a two-top team with the queen.”

“Sorry.”

It’s not that I don’t want to be terrible.

Because I have already appeared on several TV shows.

“Joe, conditions! Please check the conditions first!”

“…”

Within a moment, Chief Jung confirms the contract with a serious expression.

I intend to match the performance fee as much as possible.

I couldn’t set it up like every event.

“It’s 1,000 per synagogue for each member.”

“Yes, yes. hahahaha.”

“I hit you a little more.”

“…Is it not enough?”

“…”

The audition pro judge’s fee was fixed.

Even top-level MCs get about 2,000 from entertainment shows.

“Hey, I can match with the queen.”

“…”

Tak producer saw his hard expression and broke into a cold sweat.

What does Chief Jeong Soo-ho mean to Solar?

If he appeared together, the enthusiasm would be different.

“Chief, please appear. Please!”

“…”

He thought hard about something, as if he couldn’t hear anything.

‘Has the persuasion worked…?’

There was a suffocating tension in the conference room.

* * *

Crazy

I’m not even a celebrity, but they gave me 20 million won per episode.

Even though I am having fun with Youtube and movie investment.

‘Wow, if it’s 20 million won…’

Oh my God, how many bowls of soup are there?

Come to think of it, the judges aren’t bad either.

These days, the back of the head lottery is playing well, so you don’t know again.

“Chief, that was it.”

“Yeah?”

“The burden of deciding the trainee’s future. Originally, the judges worry a lot.”

“…”

I had already made up my mind to do it, but PD-nim continued with his words.

“You know what? Friends, Chairman Bang is also a former audition pro judge.”

“Yes. Of course I know.”

“A lot of top producers go through…”

“I will.”

“Really?”

“Yeah.”

If it’s 2,000 per synagogue, they clap while standing on their hands.

“Director, I gave up halfway even though I asked for it. Thank you very much!”

“… I’m more grateful.”

“I will do my best in the future!”

“Yes. PD.”

After checking the entire audition format, I left the meeting room.

“Jiyu, let’s cut off the schedule every Friday.”

“Okay.”

For the time being, I need to develop some basic music knowledge.

It’s embarrassing if you’re a judge and don’t know anything.

“Brother, you’re really great.”

“Huh? What?”

“You weren’t going to appear on the show anymore.”

“Yeah…”

That was before I saw the performance fee.

“It’s sacrificing for the Solar members, right?”

“What is a sacrifice?”

“My unnies, I will be very impressed.”

“That’s all right.”

I don’t know if you’re a gold spoon, but 2,000 is a huge amount of money.

“Brother, don’t you think you’re donating your appearance fee?”

“Ok?”

“Seriously don’t do that. I’ll be mad at you.”

“…”

What do you mean?

I’ll be more pissed off

“What, why no answer? Are you really going to donate…?”

“I will not.”

“Phew, I’m glad.”

“… Why are you so lucky?”

“I’m worried.”

Aren’t you being forced to donate like this?

If Umji-yu goes around saying useless things.

“Jiyu, you sometimes have problems with your mouth.”

“Huh? Me?”

“Let’s sew that on. That’ll be fine.”

“Aw.”

On the way back to work in a van with JiU.

Together, we organized various schedules accumulated at the end of the year.

“The Grand Bell Award is chosen by popular vote?”

“The reflection rate is 50%. I heard that it will be introduced for the first time in 60 years this year.”

“Yes?”

Considering the popularity of Solar these days, it’s rather good.

“Anyway, let’s continue to pay attention to the Eunseo movie.”

“Diana was working hard on the song today as well.”

“You’re doing great.”

Two more films will be released next year.

After the end of the year-end song festival and award ceremony season.

‘Promotion will start soon.’

I hope 「First Love」, For which half of the production cost was invested, will be a big hit.

Whether it’s Girls on Top or Solavity.

I need to do some publicity for the movie.

We parked the car in the parking lot, went into the building together, and continued the conversation.

“Brother, I heard that Diana’s younger sister will also apply for Girls on Top.”

“What, are you from America?”

“Yes. I think so.”

“…”

I passed the lobby, being greeted by the welcoming staff.

‘If it’s Diana’s sister…’

Even when she was in America, she had heard of her sister.

I heard that her body is a bit weak, so she spends more time lying down.

“Brother! Over there…”

At that time, a trainee standing in the direction JiU pointed with her finger.

As soon as Jia Han spotted me in her lobby, she ran to Dodo.

“Chief, hello!!!”

“Jia, what’s going on?”

“I heard about the audition today.”

“Yes?”

Jia said in a determined voice as if she had made up her mind.

“I want to appear on Girls on Top too!”

“… Why?”

While composing the title song for her solo studio album.

If you go and leave once, you’ll be stuffed for the rest of your life.

“Jia-ya, it could just cause controversy over preferential treatment.”

“Just rate me the same as the other trainees.”

“No, anyway…”

Even if she is selected from there, isn’t being selected as her debut group the biggest output?

She has already debuted in Japan and is preparing for Korea as well.

“Jia, do you have the confidence to win first place there?”

“That, that’s…”

Beginner trainee with 1 year training period.

Her singing and dancing were still mediocre.

“Are you saying that you know that if you get bad grades there, it’s rather a loss?”

“Yes, yes! I was prepared!”

“…”

Seeing her use the dialect, she was nervous.

‘Did he originally have such strong assertiveness…?’

Why does she choose the difficult path over the easy path?

A challenge that is difficult for an opportunistic human like me to understand.

To be honest, I want to oppose it unconditionally.

Sigh-

A smile leaked out at the tickling sensation in the back of the head.

“Unconditionally participate in the same position.”

“Yeah?”

“Girls on top, apply.”

“Go, thank you!”

The staff who were watching around burst into exclamation.

Among them were vocal and choreography trainers.

“Jiyu, let’s go.”

I headed for the elevator leaving Jia Han behind.

“I think Jia has changed a lot because of her brother.”

“Yes?”

“You want to be recognized.”

“…”

Of course, it was an issue that required CEO Gong’s approval.

Solar’s title song composer, because he’s an important talent for the company.

“Jia will do well.”

The back of the head is science.

* * *

Solar’s year-end season went by busily.

Her members were busy preparing for the music festival.

“Chief, are you here?”

“Yes. It’s Eunseo.”

Suho stepped into Solar’s dorm without hesitation.

The only man who enters the realm of forbidden men.

Eunseo greeted him with her apron on.

“The members are all sleeping.”

“Are you cooking now?”

“Yeah!”

“… Why?”

“?”

Eunseo answered with a smile while holding a kitchen knife.

“Thank you for doing it, and you can eat it.”

“…Is that so, then?”

“Yeah.”

Even when he lived alone with his grandmother, he often cooked for him.

I feel sorry for Yeji’s older sister, but it was embarrassing to compare.

‘If the…’

If your first love is also successful.

It’s all thanks to Chief Jeong Soo-ho.

From copyright, investment, production, casting, to OST, there was nothing left untouched.

“How’s Grandma?”

“Yeah?”

Do you know that you are the room madam?

“Then to the hospital.”

“Ah…”

I guess you don’t know yet.

“Are you all right now?”

“I’m glad. I’ll take good care of you.”

“… Yeah.”

Suddenly, something her grandmother used to say came to mind.

-Don’t think about getting married unless you’re a better man than me.

He took it to mean living alone for the rest of his life.

Maybe, there might be such a man.

Tuck, Tuck, Tuck, Tuck—

A regular sound coming from the cutting board.

The delicious smell of bubbling kimchi stew.

I felt strange when the manager looked at me from behind.

“Eunseo, did you hear that?”

“What?”

“I heard someone confessed and attacked Yeji in America.”

“Oh, Tom, whom I played with.”

“Um, yes.”

Eunseo calmly told Yeji what to say.

“Still, my sister politely declined.”

“Yeji, it’s commendable.”

“Yes? What is it?”

“Just.”

“…”

Eunseo glanced back at the manager who was sitting at her table and said.

“Did you forget your promise to go shopping with me?”

“Oh right.”

“Oh, right?”

The manager scratched the back of his head and replied.

“I’m studying fashion these days, right?”

“Oh, then shall we grab a brand ad?”

“Does not matter.”

He smiled and continued the conversation.

“If you pick out my clothes, I’ll buy you a special one too.”

“What, what is it. Who wants to buy it!?”

“Don’t hate it.”

“…”

Suho speaks warmly like a father.

Eunseo blushed and opened her mouth.

“…Then buy it.”

“That’s half talk.”

“Oh really!”

“What.”

Eunseo turned his head away as if nothing had happened.

Heart-

I tried to ignore my needlessly beating heart.

Why have you been doing this ever since filming this movie?

“Huh.”

Soon, Yang Joo-hee yawned and came out of the room.

“Eunseo, do you cook?”

“Kimchi stew.”

“Ahh, if you eat salty, you will lose muscle… Is the manager here?”

“Uh. Joo-hee.”

“Good. I’ll show you something interesting.”

“Anything interesting?”

“Preload, to your tube.”

Eunseo brushed his chest at the noisy table atmosphere.

Soon after, the other members also gathered in the kitchen one by one.

“Oh, I want to eat something delicious.”

Somi complains about side dishes today as well.

The youngest, who was eating lunch, opened his mouth.

“Ah, Unseo Eunseo. My face is swollen when I make stew…”

“Who threatens you with a knife to eat?”

“…”

Eunseo smiled broadly while holding the knife.

“This is my favorite food.”

“Really?”

“Yep!”

Our somi is nice

listen really well

The youngest crept up to the table and opened her mouth.

“What is it, chief, you’re watching you tube.”

“Yes. Solvity.”

“Haa, during the haunted house experience, Yeji unnie…”

“Now, hold on!”

Then, Yeji storms out of her room and takes her smartphone.

-Mom…!

The music in the video echoed through the kitchen.

“What are you talking about? Is this broken?”

“…”

Sister, stop it.

Kim Ri-ri searches for her mother in a haunted house with tears and runny nose.

The only man at the table smiled awkwardly.

“Ah, um. Does Yeji shed her runny nose pretty?”

“… Saw?”

“I didn’t see it.”

Joo-hee looked up and quickly ran into the room.

“Sister, I don’t think it’s my fault.”

“Open the door and talk.”

How did this member become a top star?

‘Chief is really…’

Eunseo unknowingly put a smile on her lips.

After a while.

「Girls on Top」 Promotion with Solar at the forefront.

Competent talents from all over the country filled out the application.

“Producer, Jia Han applied!”

“… Diana’s younger sister also applied.”

“Reaction is no joke!”

Tak PD found a girl while checking application documents.

“Oh, this friend…”

The daughter of the unfortunate genius singer-songwriter Kim Pil-seong.

How talented she would be if she inherited that genius.

“This broadcast is really worth looking forward to.”
