[121] Market development (2)

Q&G label office building.

Director Park Cheol-min received numerous calls for alcohol as soon as he went to work.

It is difficult to find the origin of 「Royland」’S domestic ticket power.

“2 million views in three days of release…”

From the director to the main actors, it was worthwhile to visit Korea.

Actually, at first I was worried that it would fit the Korean market.

A musical film praised by foreign media and critics.

The most notable work in Hollywood right now.

A member of a popular Korean girl group appeared in such a movie. How can I not watch it?

If this was the case, I would be worried about the results of my first love.

Because it was about to be released shortly after.

Tiri-Ri-Ring-

Ahead of the wedding, various congratulatory messages poured in.

This time, I checked my smartphone because I wanted someone.

[Director Jeong Soo-ho, Division 2]

“… What.”

Aren’t we filming on the Internet today?

Suho built up a reputation as a genius producer in Girls On Top.

He could have left the company right away and set up his own label.

“Hello. Suho.”

-Yeah. Chief of Staff.

Even in the midst of such a busy time, Chief Jung manages the Girls On Top schedule.

As a judge, I did not neglect the work of raising trainees.

“You really are me.”

– Oh, you heard the news. Did Jiu tell you?

“What news?”

– You were invited to the Coachella Festival.

“… What does that mean?”

– You didn’t know.

“You have to tell me, junior.”

– Oh, that’s it.

Why does this guy talk to his successor first every time, leaving the superior behind? Sadly

-This year, you will be on the stage of the Coachella sub-headliner.

“…Is the joke a bit harsh?”

– It happened.

Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival.

This stage is considered one of the dream festivals for music fans around the world.

In particular, only hot musicians were allowed to be headliners in the US.

-Thanks to Finn Brown.

“This crazy.”

I knew that Jung Soo-ho was good at his job.

“How hard have you been working behind the scenes!?”

-I didn’t do that.

“Ugh, do you know how unlucky you are every time you say that?”

-… It’s true.

I don’t hate it though

Because the ability is so great.

“Is there anything I can do to help?”

– Oh, that’s why I contacted you.

“What?”

-The organizers of Coachella said they wanted to reschedule the meeting urgently.

“Ah.”

Because Suho is at the filming set right now.

“I’ll go for that.”

-Yep. It’s tonight. Can I take a picture of the address and send it to you?

“Yes, then.”

-Chief, then please take good care of the contract.

“Yes. Take a look.”

-Yeah. Chief of Staff.

Pop.

I hung up the phone and stared blankly into space for a while.

‘… My juniors are so good at their work.’

The Coachella Festival, which is staged only at the invitation of the organizer.

Somehow, while going back and forth to LA, you already built up all your personal connections.

Has it already been 2 years since Solar debuted?

How much has Q&G grown so far?

Someone carefully mentioned the Big 5 in the entertainment market, which has been established as the Big 4.

If you combine Dream Agency and Q&G label, the scale is by no means small.

“… Now it’s scary.”

It’s hard to believe even myself watching from the side.

Who would believe the performance of a manager at the level of a general manager?

Belt-

Soon, a call came to Suho.

“The place is a bit far.”

After a while,

Director Park Chul-min arrived at the promised place on time.

He arrived at a classy Korean restaurant and opened the sliding door.

‘… Old man?’

An elderly grandfather waited for him with a benevolent smile.

“Good evening.”

Soon, the opponent who takes off his fedora and smiles benevolently.

Park Cheol-min opened his mouth wide after hearing his self-introduction.

“This is Josh from AFG, who hosts Coachella. Feel free to call me.”

“Where did you hear that name…?”

“I am the chairman of the AFG company.”

“Ah.”

Jung Soo-ho, isn’t this a little too much?

If you invited the president, shouldn’t you tell him in advance?

“Chairman, thank you for taking good care of Solar!”

“I have to thank you. Thanks to you, I got to know a good sponsor.”

“Yeah? What is that…?”

“Oh, don’t get me wrong. You can’t get on the head stage with money, even if you pay a billion dollars.”

“Never misunderstand.”

The stage where Billy Island, Musicie, Metallisk, and High End went up.

Companies willing to sponsor the world’s best festivals are widely available.

“But the patrons…”

“I do not know.”

An unexpected name came out of his mouth.

“She introduced herself as the room madam.”

“…”

Isn’t it the grandmother I saw at the Dream Agency stockholders’ meeting?

The name of the major shareholder of the parent company probably did not come out by chance.

‘… Jung Soo-ho.’

One person’s name came to mind naturally.

* * *

Waiting room for Nnet Girls on Top judges.

I had a light meeting with Solar members.

The theme, of course, was coachella stage production and arrangement.

“Brother.”

Meanwhile, Jiyu raised her hand and asked me a question.

“I heard there was a guest from the organizers of Coachella today.”

“Yes. Maybe.”

“I don’t want to go.”

“I told the chief.”

“Aha.”

Maybe a Coachella employee will come and sign the contract.

Director Park, if you have time, whoever comes will take care of it.

“Anyway, boys.”

The Solar members looked at me with twinkling eyes.

“It’s our stage the day after Blue Scholtz, you know what I mean?”

“Yes. We must do well unconditionally!”

“Yes. There will be a lot of comparisons because they are the same sub-headliners.”

“…”

It was an honor for Solar, now 2 years old, to stand on the same stage as Blue Scholz.

“Diana, are you confident in arranging?”

“Sure. Hip-hop style…”

“No.”

“Yeah?”

Hip-hop is something I’ve heard too much of.

Now that I’m used to it, it overlaps with my taste.

“Black sun, can you arrange it into a rock version?”

“Oh, you like rock too!?”

“…”

I hate rock

i like reggae

“That’s right! Originally at the Coachella festival, rock is traditionally eaten!”

“Yeah. Let’s go with that.”

“Yep!”

Although it was already not my taste from the genre selection.

Soon, a tickling signal was sent from the back of the head.

Sigh-

Scratching the back of his head, he looked back at the Solar members one by one.

“It’s the day you stand on the world stage for the first time.”

“Ah…!”

“You have to practice really hard.”

“Yes!!”

Fortunately, there are no important schedules besides “Girls on Top”.

Excluding the official shooting day, there was about three months of time.

“Then our trip will be delayed further.”

“No, that will go right away.”

“Oh, really?”

“Yeah. I’m already done talking with PD Tak.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Jeju Island.”

“Aha.”

A trip to Jeju Island with the survivors of the Girls On Top music mission.

I was also planning to shoot Somi and Solavity there for the first time in a while.

“All 30 trainees will go to Jeju Island together. To travel and film.”

“Huh? Not 50 people?”

“There are 20 people who have failed this music mission.”

“Ah…”

In an instant, the mentors’ faces darkened.

I also wasn’t comfortable with it.

“Guys, you know that Girls on Top Nexplex Global Ranking has risen right now, right?”

“… Yeah.”

Nexplex Global Ranking.

A work that was once almost scrapped is back as a mega hit.

It’s probably because of “Royland”, Which was a hit in America.

“Now that we’re in the top 10 in the global rankings, let’s just keep going.”

“Yes. I’ll make a good stage.”

“It should be.”

Royland, Girls on Top, and Coachella Festival.

The synergistic effect of attracting each other was enormous.

“Now disbanded. Everyone pay more attention to the music mission.”

“Yes!”

If even 「First Love」 Hits the jackpot with this momentum, the icing on the cake.

A smile leaked out at the thought of recovering the investment.

“Chief.”

However, Yang Joo-hee did not go out and stayed alone to talk to me.

“Does the manager also coin?”

“Ok?”

“That’s the look on my face when I won a coin.”

“…”

Invest in movies, not coins.

“If you have any good information, please share it.”

“They said the mole was crushed.”

“Hing.”

I mean, invest in safe assets like me.

It’s because a reverse movie is certain even if it takes time.

“Juhee, let’s stop using coins.”

“I’ll take one more run.”

“… When will you grow up?”

“I’ve rarely seen anyone more mature than me.”

“?”

No, that iron is not that iron

* * *

The next morning, morning.

As usual, I left the house to go to work.

“Uh, uh…!? It’s Jung Soo-ho!”

“Great!”

Food friend, am I your friend?

Please wear a school uniform and don’t speak half-heartedly.

“Crazy, Jung Soo-ho and I were from the neighborhood!”

“Give me your autograph!”

“Wow, that’s dope.”

Crazy Jung Soo-ho is too good.

“Girls on top are watching!”

“Cleared land for judging!”

“…”

After Dancing Street, the most successful variety show on Nexplex in Korea.

Girls on Top, 17% nationwide ratings.

Nexplex Global Ranking Top 10.

Naturally, people in the neighborhood started recognizing my face.

No, there were times when I recognized faces before.

“Kyaaagh—!”

Soon, he was surrounded by a group of high school girls and received a mental attack.

“Wow! My head is much bigger than the TV!!!”

“Dance machine! Please dance!”

“Are you close with Solar?”

“Oh, are you tall?”

“…”

What about lunch, really?

“Come on, please get out of the way. I’m a normal person.”

“What a normal person!”

“Yes, yes. Get out of the way.”

I barely made my way through the crowd and squeezed into the driver’s seat.

Fortunately, no crazy person entered the car.

“Whoa…”

Today is particularly bad.

Second, it’s inconvenient.

“… What if I meet Solar’s sasaeng fan?”

There are already hundreds of thousands of domestic fandoms.

There may be people like the dog.

“I’m going to move.”

First of all, I grabbed the steering wheel and went to work as it was.

As soon as I was unpacking at the office, a call came in.

I got a call from General Manager Chul-Min Park and walked straight away.

“Suho, Coachella’s performance has come. Check the message I just sent.”

“Ah yes.”

“You’re still with the room madam…”

“Yeah?”

“No, that’s it. Keep checking.”

“Yep.”

The third headliner among all Koreans.

The stage order was moderately mid-to-late.

“It’s good.”

The moment I checked other artists with satisfaction.

Director Park sighed and opened his mouth.

“Haa, shouldn’t you have told me in advance if the president came in person?”

“Yeah?”

“The company went into chaos yesterday because you didn’t tell me. Mr. Gong came running in a hurry.”

“?”

The general manager said that Chairman Josh came personally.

I thought he would visit at most a manager-level employee.

“Suho, let’s work while communicating a bit.”

“Oh, um… I didn’t know either.”

“I don’t know.”

If I had known that, I wouldn’t have told you earlier.

“No, you must have had your thoughts. It’s all my fault.”

“… I will try my best in the future.”

“Yes, yes.”

I don’t know what I did wrong, but I’m sorry.

“The day after tomorrow, right? Girls on top music mission.”

“Yes, that is correct.”

As soon as it was broadcast on Nnet, Diana prepared the sound sources.

The main melody was airlifted directly from the publishing company.

“Cutting 30 people in the second mission is cruel even to PD Tak.”

“Because speed is the life of survival these days.”

“I see.”

Anyway, viewers only paid attention to the top ranks.

Who among the trainees will survive and become the second Solar?

“So, are the 30 survivors going on a trip to Jeju Island?”

“Ah, that’s a new mission disguised as a trip.”

“… Station bastards.”

By the way, First Love will be released during the Jeju Island schedule.

It’s an hour away by plane, so no big deal.

“Should Solar members go back and forth often to Seoul?”

“Oh, because of the movie.”

“Yes. Especially Yeji and Eunseo.”

“Yes. Let’s work hard.”

“Yep.”

I bowed my head and got up from my seat.

“Chief, I’ll make some tea for you today.”

“Why, what’s going on?”

“I’m going to go see some real estate. I’m moving.”

“Move?”

Although the house I live in now was not particularly uncomfortable.

It could be dangerous because the face is so well known.

“Solar, how about an apartment like Luna’s?”

“How can I buy an apartment in Gangnam?”

“You won’t know again if your first love hits the jackpot. You made me invest heavily.”

“No, great. I don’t buy either.”

Am I crazy

Even now, it’s as if I don’t have work.

If you move to the house above Solar’s dorm.

‘Ugh, just thinking about it…’

From Solar to Luna, it’s a 24-hour slave win.

* * *

That evening.

Yeji returned to the company after final inspection of the music mission stage.

Unlike the other members, I stopped by the company because of my movie schedule.

“Thank you, Jiyu.”

“Thank you.”

Movie promotion schedule and Girls on Top mentor.

Due to overlapping schedules, I was quite busy.

“The more I look at trainee Kim Deok-ja, the more genius he is.”

“Yeah. Vocals are like established singers.”

“Maybe.”

In fact, the current competition in Girls On Top has been narrowed down to two or three.

Jia Han, Minji Nam, and Emma.

There would be a winner among them.

By the way, today, Chief Jung didn’t even show his face.

We decided to go on a trip together, but we made it into our schedule again.

There are times when I’m mean, but my heart couldn’t be fooled.

“Jiyu, the chief is not in sight today.”

“Oh, I went to real estate.”

“Huh? Real estate?”

“I heard you’re moving.”

“Oh yeah?”

“The chief told me.”

“What?”

Soon after, Jiyu casually spits out important words.

“If I had money, I would have lived in the house above Solar’s ​​dorm.”

“Ah oh…?”

As long as you have money. As long as you have money. As long as you have money.

Jiyu’s words echoed in her ears.

‘…As long as I have money?’

How much money did you receive as a guarantee when filming Royland?

He had nothing to spend the money he had accumulated during his activities.

Meals and lodging are all provided by the company.

“What can I do?”

“Yes?”

When the manager ‘accidentally’ moves to the upper floor of the dorm.

I can cook you a delicious meal every morning.

“hehehe. Eh.”

Yeji unknowingly smiled bashfully.

“Sister, why are you laughing so much?”

“Me? When? hehehe.”

“…”

By the time I go to Jeju Island, I will be next door to the manager.
