[134] Eclipse(2)

In this era of flood of girl groups, Sky Entertainment was a bonanza.

Thanks to Solar, 「Girls on Top」 Was a huge success.

Of course, the beneficiary is not Eclipse.

Producers dream of raising talented girl groups from their debut.

Producer Ha Min-joon went to Sky Enter with light steps.

The staff greet you from the first day you arrive.

Unlike Big Boss, everyone’s expression was full of life.

‘Does it feel good?’

Minjun entered the office with a happy imagination.

A huge office where everything can be seen at a glance.

It is true that there is no representative office.

A horizontal system that has never been seen in the idol entertainment industry.

It seemed like heaven to Min-jun, who was tired of the old school culture.

“Attention!”

“?”

At that time, a woman’s voice was heard from one side of the office.

“I never dreamed of being late for a latte,” She said.

“It’s eight o’clock now…”

“I have to come 5 minutes earlier and get ready for work. That’s not the basics!”

“…”

Manager Um Ji-yu, who often appears on TV.

She had a friendly face, but seemed to have a strict personality.

“Hey, newbie there! Can you see my feet?”

“Me?”

“Are you stirring?”

“…”

Aren’t the duties of a producer and a manager different?

“Aren’t you coming soon!?”

“Oh, yes!”

Horizontal system.

A culture without crosses.

“Our company is like a family.”

“…”

It’s a good company feature.

“Every employee is in seniority, okay?”

“Yeah.”

“Your voice is small.”

“Yeah!!!”

Shall we escape?

Interns who had interviewed together gathered around them.

Among them, there were some notable foreigners.

‘Eh, that person wasn’t there during the interview…?’

It seems that there were additional candidates.

Even though I can’t do it myself.

“Come on, I’m going to teach you something called ‘youngest day’.”

“?”

Is there such a thing?

Is this the army?

“I worked hard while living as the youngest, so don’t be too unfair.”

“…”

It’s a new company here.

It’s only been a few months.

After a while,

After the morning routine, the classmates gathered together and introduced themselves.

Shouldn’t we be competitors and supporters for each other for three months?

“My name is Ha Min-jun. I am from Big Boss.”

“I’m Ray Cool. I participated in Pink Lemon’s album.”

“My name is Janggun. Cadols…”

Soon, everyone’s eyes turned to the foreign mercenary.

“Oh, me?”

Ailee speaks only English as if she doesn’t know Korean.

Seeing her wearing luxury items, I think she bought a house.

“If the artist I was raising ran away, would that count as a career?”

“… I won’t.”

“Then I don’t have a career. hehehe.”

“…”

What is so bright

“Sky Enter is amazing!”

“Yeah?”

Ailee opened her mouth with a bright smile.

“We do the dishes and clean up together! It’s like a real family!”

“It’s like a family.”

“Is it true that the CEO cleans with you too!? Because it’s a family!”

“Ah.”

It seems that the torturers are among her motives.

“Newcomers.”

At that time, the senior of fear came over and interrupted the conversation.

“I’m going to go to the studio now.”

“Oh, no way.”

“Yes, that is correct.”

Soon, contract producers entered the studio of their dreams.

Meeting with Billboard producer Diana.

Moreover, even CEO Jeong Soo-ho.

We exchanged opinions on Eclipse’s title song “Sunshine and Moonlight”.

“There is a feeling that the arrangement is a bit excessive.”

“Is it.”

The producers also raised their hands and expressed their opinions.

“What if we add an electric guitar to the intro here…”

“That’s nice too.”

“Really?”

“Yes. Producer Ha Min-seong.”

“… Ah.”

Diana is kind to contract workers.

I don’t know who will be laughing in three months.

‘… I will definitely survive.’

Ha Min-jun passionately participated in the songwriting process.

To bring out even one more word and stand out.

Sigh-

Soon after, Ailee slowly listened to the song and spat out a word.

“Three minutes and thirty-two seconds is too long.”

“?”

What are you talking about?

“Reduce the interlude and cut the song into two minutes.”

“…”

The air in the studio was freezing cold.

What is he doing with the song made by producer Do Hana?

Anyone who sees you will know that you are a person who shoots for billboards and makes music as a hobby.

It would be difficult if you cursed at me for being motivated.

“That was it.”

Representative Jung Soo-ho scratched the back of his head and replied coolly.

“You do that.”

“?”

To accept such an important decision with a single word from a contract employee!?

“Ailee, can you participate in the arrangement?”

“Yes. I’ll try.”

To be honest, I thought that no matter how good a new producer is, there is a limit.

I thought she would fall behind Carly Jackson and Diana, who reached number 2 on the Billboard.

‘No, that person…’

A neat and perfect skill that makes you not jealous.

As she progressed in arranging, she admired her skill.

She said, ‘Where’s the monster from!’

Advisor Oenoja quickly emerged as a powerful rival.

* * *

Eclipse music video filming site.

I appreciated the work the producers put their brains through.

The producers arranged the new songs that are differentiated from the existing K-pop.

Strictly speaking, Ailee was the only one who passed.

If she hadn’t been bitten by mosquitoes, she probably wouldn’t have gone to the interview.

Because of the Amazon mosquitoes, four contract workers were hired.

‘It’s not the butterfly effect…’

Mosquito effect.

Perhaps because there were a lot of people, the concept gradually became more balanced.

This tickling sensation while far from my taste.

‘Keuuu, a reverse double-smelling smell.’

Diana, who participated in the production, also opened her mouth as if she was satisfied.

“CEO, you are really great.”

“Huh? Me?”

“Yeah!”

I haven’t done anything

Concept planning, music, production, choreography.

You and the producers did it all.

“Ailee, you have at least 10 years of experience. Or a genius.”

“…”

That much?

“I arranged it to feel like a pop song, so it goes really well with Olivia’s vocals.”

“Uh, um. Yes.”

If you say so, then so be it.

I don’t know because I don’t know.

“Did you expect everything before hiring? Mr. Ailee.”

“It’s not like that.”

“Ah, you say it humbly again. You said you didn’t even go through the interview before being hired.”

“…”

I had an interview with the back of my head.

“What do you think of the other producers?”

“I’m not sure yet.”

“…”

Ha Min-jun was still above average.

There was distribution, and the career was pretty good.

“Anyway.”

I said to Diana while checking my calendar on my smartphone.

“Eclipse, the debut date has been confirmed.”

“When?”

“Fortnight later.”

“Isn’t it too urgent? If we compete with the Lovey Dolls and the Orange Sox…”

“We will make a high-end comeback in July this year.”

“Ah.”

I got valuable information because I had Friends as my parent company.

Without luck, the debut album could have collapsed like a sand castle.

“I heard that Friends was going to make a surprise announcement of a comeback.”

“It would be almost a disaster for the other singers.”

“I guess so.”

However, it wasn’t that I blindly avoided high-end music and debuted quickly.

“Are you feeling a bit anxious right now?”

“Yeah.”

“Do not worry about it.”

I’m anxious too

The back of the head is also itchy.

“CEO, you have a strong heart!”

“It’s not like that.”

It’s just 100% trust in shit.

I was anxious, but thanks to the reverse distribution, I felt comfortable.

It’s paradoxical, but that’s how I am now.

“If you need to compete, you have to.”

“That’s right.”

To survive in a time like these days when there are a lot of new girl groups.

“Eclipse members should work harder.”

“Yes. CEO.”

Finally, Eclipse members taking a break after filming the music video.

“Guys, you worked hard!”

“Ah, sir.”

Eclipse leader Olivia answered with a broad smile.

“Thank you.”

“Thank you, I have to shoot the next music video now.”

“Right?”

“Yes.”

We were planning to shoot music videos for all three songs we prepared.

The three music videos were all investments.

I would never do it if I wasn’t sure.

“Because I believe in you.”

“Ah…!”

MVs that will be released on You Tube one by one every 15 days.

The music video was planned to be released before the sound source.

“As everyone knows, I will upload the music video right away without a concept pictorial or teaser video.”

“…”

Although it deviated from the general idol debut publicity formula.

Because Girls On Top has already gathered enough expectations.

“Come on, let’s all work hard.”

“Yes!”

.

Time passed,

The release date of Eclipse’s “Sunshine and Moonlight” Music video came just one day ahead.

Without the usual teaser video, a picture was posted on the official YouTube.

《[Eclipse] Coming soon D-1》

-3 days ago

-320,000 likes, 300,000 dislikes

– 30,000 comments

A landscape photo depicting the sun hidden by the moon’s shadow.

Comments were made on pictures that looked like they might be in science magazines.

‘That’s really nice.’

The reaction was hot even before debut.

Calls from the entertainment industry have already flooded in.

“CEO.”

At that time, team leader Koo approached and opened his mouth.

“The marketing worked.”

“That’s fortunate.”

In fact, there were no surprises on my part.

“I’m rather looking forward to it because I’m hiding information!”

“Yes. I’m lucky.”

“As expected, the CEO…”

Among the many opinions suggested by the staff, I chose the one that came with the dung tip.

If you look at the answer sheet and solve the math problem, wouldn’t there be no inspiration?

“Chief Gu, who was the employee who suggested this method?”

“… I’m Ailee’s producer.”

“Okay?”

It seems like someone who is not only good at music, but has also developed an artist.

You’re also in your early 30’s.

Did you do one in the US?

“CEO, my discernment is really lacking.”

“Yeah?”

“To filter out such talented people in the first round…”

“…”

I comforted the former team leader by patting him on the shoulder.

“It’s okay.”

I’m also a one-tool for the back of the head.

* * *

The sound of a beating heart was heard in my ears.

Only one day until debut.

How long have you been waiting

“Nam Min-ji, focus!!!”

“Sorry!”

A choreography practiced like crazy under the guidance of teacher Redwine.

After practice, the members sat down on their seats.

“hahahaha.”

“Good work, boys.”

“Thank you for your effort!”

Nam Min-ji went to the corner and picked up her notepad.

‘Today’s homework is…’

The debut team didn’t just have to sing and dance.

English, Japanese, Chinese.

Cover song from the same agency.

I diligently wrote down my practice journal and studied fashion every day.

I didn’t know that the difference between a simple trainee and a debut group would be this big.

“I wonder if I will be able to use a smartphone when I debut.”

“I can’t use it for a while.”

Second Eclipse, Han Ji-ah unnie came up and talked to me.

“Isn’t it hard to practice while going to school?”

“No it’s okay.”

In fact, I was already treated as a celebrity at school.

If the debut is ruined, will all interest disappear?

“We’ll be living in a dorm from next week.”

“That’s rather good.”

“Yes?”

“Yes.”

It’s like being a celebrity.

“Jia, wait a minute.”

Soon after, she was called by the red wine teacher and rose from her seat.

When she’s embarrassed sometimes, she’s an older sister who speaks Chungcheong-do dialect.

Genius singer-songwriter who created her solo title song.

Her main melody for “Sunshine and Moonlight” Was also composed by her humming.

‘Compared to mentor Somi…’

Truly, there were no angels.

At the same school, as a friend of the same age as hers.

Soon after, her sister, Jia, returned with good news.

“Hey kids, we heard you entered our schedule?”

“Oh! Really?”

“Weekly entertainment idol.”

“Great.”

It was a good broadcast to introduce new idols.

“However…”

Soon, sister Jia blurted out her words.

She looked at herself and said.

“Minji, you have a solo schedule.”

“Only for me?”

“Yes.”

Oh, is the world starting to recognize me already?

This is what a mother-born celebrity is.

Isn’t she the top in Girls On Top?

Look, it’s not a celebrity disease, it’s a heavenly celebrity.

Emma and Kwon Si-yeon’s eyes twinkled in envy.

“What.”

“Let’s have a little together.”

“Subarashi.”

Nam Min-ji asked Jia with a proud expression.

“What is it, what schedule is it?”

“Nutube Working Man.”

“Great.”

Most of the girl groups that appeared on Walking Man received good responses.

“But it’s not a solo casting.”

“Yes?”

“She said she had a schedule with mentor Somi.”

“?”

Oh, something is weird

“Originally, Somi decided to do it alone.”

“… Ok?”

“I think the two of us can get along well and do a cleaning part-time job.”

“A cleaning job?”

“…”

Cleaning isn’t bad.

Clean at home too.

“I think you can just think of it as a comfortable cleaning experience.”

“…”

I’m not at all comfortable.

“I heard you told the CEO that you were an entertainer.”

“Who is it!?”

She dances well, sings well, and is good at everything!

“Somi.”

“Ah.”

Wait a minute, this.

Is it too late to move the company?

* * *

Somi is also very nice.

Be sure to take care of me like this sometime after the mentor is over.

If your face appears on a variety show, where is it?

‘I haven’t even debuted yet.’

Working Man is a channel that gets 2 million views.

Probably at least 300, 400,000 will be taken considering the Somi effect.

‘Before debut…’

Eclipse’s mini-album, 「Eclipse」, Received a warm response.

Pre-sold 250,000 copies in just four days.

It surpassed the record set during her solo debut song.

“Brother!”

At that time, Jiyu blushed and approached me.

“Not long now!”

“I know, man.”

Eclipse debuted without a flashy showcase or music release.

With the release of the music video, the schedule was scheduled to start tomorrow.

“You’ve got all the music room schedules set, right?”

“Yeah. Got it.”

After a while,

The music video for “Sunshine and Moonlight” Was released at the scheduled time.

Solar and Luna, Eclipse.

Now we have three teams in our company.

Since we have a producer team, the only thing left to do is to spend money in the future.

“Check the schedule. I’m going to be busy now.”

“Here, brother.”

Soon after, Jiyu asked me a question as if he remembered something.

“What is Workingman’s cleaning part-time job?”

“That’s it. I got a call from there.”

“Umm, but for a rookie to do it…”

“Somi is a world star.”

“Oh, yes.”

Because this is also a choice of the back of the head.

In the end, it will become blood and flesh.

“Do Somi and Minji know what cleaning is?”

“Of course I don’t know.”

The next episode of Working Man with a sharp reverse double angle.

“It’s cleaning the outer walls.”

“…The devil.”

The devil must have been in the back of his head.
