[67] New Phase (5)

the house, USA, LA.

Big city with Hollywood.

I visited the “League” Company with two members.

The company sent a person to the airport so I could come there comfortably.

“Mr. Chung, do you like the hotel you booked?”

“Yes. It’s much better than I thought.”

“I’ve heard rumors about Team Leader Jeong Soo-ho.”

“My rumor?”

League employee Mr. Warren trembled and opened his mouth.

“There are many Koreans among the employees. Most of them are Solar fans.”

“Yes, thank you.”

“I heard that Koreans call Team Leader Jeong this way?”

“Yeah?”

“It’s a dancing machine…”

“Stop.”

“Yep.”

Yeji and Diana seem to be giggling as they follow from behind.

‘This life is over.’

You Tube taxidermy is so scary.

It spread like a plague in America.

“Warren, I have a meeting today.”

“Oh yeah?”

“So I’ll take care of the kids for a while later.”

“Yes. I see!”

We were guided by Warren and arrived in front of the recording studio.

“Chief, this is the recording studio.”

“Ah, right then…”

“But the executive producer will be a bit picky.”

“… Is that so?”

“I’m not a bad person, just um…”

In the first place, it was an impromptu deal proposed by a high-ranking official whom I met by chance during an advertisement.

Because AI girl groups got bigger and bigger after that.

Maybe he will disapprove of Solar.

Moreover, their recognition in the US is much lower than the other two artists.

“It’s okay. I came prepared.”

“Ah, yes. Then.”

We immediately knocked on the recording studio and went inside.

Sigh-

A man who looked this way and opened his mouth.

Executive producer and songwriter, Michael.

“Hello. I’m from the Q&G label.”

“Oh, that’s it. New phase composer Michael.”

“I look forward to.”

“Didn’t Dohana Arranger come with you?”

“That…”

I did come with you.

Do I have to speak

Soon, composer Michael opened his mouth with his eyebrows furrowed.

“Well, that’s all right. Let’s record it right away.”

“All right.”

As I’ve heard before, the producer has a rough personality.

It wasn’t discrimination, it seemed more like prejudice.

“Guys, it’s hard.”

“Manager, where are you going?”

“I have a meeting, so stop.”

“Angdae.”

I left the studio because I had a separate schedule.

Yeji and Diana looked at each other with sad eyes.

She left the studio and stopped at the office to ask Mr. Warren.

“I’ll take care of my kids. Please contact me if anything happens.”

“Yes. Don’t worry.”

“Thank you.”

Zeol, a brand headquartered in Paris, France.

I had a meeting with the chief designer Sakura-san today.

Suddenly, I remembered a stranger I called from Korea.

First of all, I set an appointment with that person for a week.

‘Sooner or later, I’ll find out who it is.’

I took a taxi nearby and moved to the meeting place I had today.

The meeting place, the LA branch of Gioll.

I set foot in a building of considerable size.

“Ah, you were the chief designer’s guest.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

We went upstairs following the guidance of the information staff.

I passed several offices that seemed hectic.

Knock, Knock-

I knocked and entered the office.

Numerous designers have already been busily wandering around.

Actually, I came here with the intention of meeting an acquaintance comfortably.

‘Sakura-san, you look very busy.’

It would be natural for him to be in that position at such a young age.

“Ah, Chief Jeong Soo-ho!”

“Hello.”

Sakura came to me today, wearing a dazzling dress.

“I heard you’re standing on the league stage this time.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“I was on the phone with the director there.”

“Yeah?”

Sakura smiled and continued the conversation.

“We are thinking of sponsoring AI girl group costumes as well.”

“Oh, really?”

I was able to ease my worries when I sponsored by G.O.L.

Just looking at the fashion, I had to associate myself with a fictional character.

“It’s not confirmed yet, I’ll stop by during the rehearsal stage.”

“Thank you.”

Now is the time to challenge overseas expansion.

The domestic market has already been firmly established.

“I’m more grateful.”

It was a great fortune to meet Sakura-san in Japan.

* * *

Headquarters of “League” In Los Angeles.

Yeji and Diana toured the company with a cameraman.

I also visited the VR room or PC room to shoot the making film.

“The PC room is huge.”

“That’s it.”

A game that youngest Somi often plays.

If it wasn’t for the military, would you have come together?

“Diana, how was the recording today?”

“Just what.”

Producer Michael feels a little disapproving.

In fact, Solar’s awareness in the US was zero.

The scale of the project, which was initially thought to be an AI idol, has grown.

Perhaps, if it wasn’t for Team Leader Jeong’s resourcefulness, she wouldn’t have been able to come to America.

‘If he hadn’t been for him…’

There would have been no Solar now.

“Mr. Edge, Ms. Diana!”

At that time, the staff called the two from afar.

“I’m going to start motion capture right now!”

“Ah yes!”

Translating real human movements into a 3D environment.

It was the process of setting up a moving character on stage.

The two members followed the staff into the studio.

“You can remove your makeup with a cotton pad here.”

“Oh, well.”

The manager will come in a little while.

“Sister, what are you doing?”

“Huh? No.”

A black jumpsuit with dots on it.

Dozens of dots were put on her face and she put on a helmet.

“I’ll go in first, Mr. Yeji.”

“Yes!”

The choreography practiced under the direction of the motion capture director was unfolded.

“Good. Let’s keep going.”

Meanwhile, team leader Jung Soo-ho took a taxi back to the company.

A meeting with designer Sakura.

It’s because I’m getting Geol’s sponsorship again.

He entered the studio thinking about what to say.

“Chief, over here!”

“Uh, yes.”

Diana handed Suho a drink prepared by Yeji.

“I really like this company. There’s a cafe.”

“I know.”

“The team leader’s latte has a lot of whipping!”

“Oh, how do you know I like that.”

“… Just one bite.”

“Did you give it to me?”

Suho handed her her coffee cup and looked at her.

Yeji was choreographing hard in a large space.

A black jacket with bare skin.

Although she even wore a strange helmet on her head.

‘It’s still pretty.’

A motion director who catches even the slightest movement.

Just watching him work on a computer made him feel like an expert.

‘No, but…’

Producer Michael interfered here too.

He said, directing her choreography and movements in detail.

“Yeji, didn’t you practice hard?”

“Yeah…?”

“Your shoulder is out of order.”

“… Sorry!”

“Be careful.”

It was wrong because I wore the equipment and danced.

It’s too much for a kid who can’t speak English well.

“Diana, has that person been saying that all along?”

“Um, I can’t help it.”

“…”

Should I just reveal that Dohana is Diana?

I don’t know if the attitude will change though.

“Yeji! Thank you for your hard work!”

“Thank you!”

Finally, Yeji finished her motion capture work and returned to her waiting room.

“Manager, did you come after the meeting!?”

“Yeah. Good job.”

“Lol.”

She sat next to Suho as if it were natural.

“Here’s a whipped latte… Ping?”

Coffee prepared by myself for the team leader.

Why is Diana drinking it?

“…Are you Anna?”

“Yes?”

“Why are you drinking that?”

“I took permission. hehehe.”

“…”

Yes. Good for drinking

But why are you using the same straw?

Sigh-

For a moment, Jeong Su-ho held up her coffee cup as if nothing had happened.

The moment she naturally tries to bring her mouth to the straw.

“aaah, no!!!”

“What.”

Yeji snatched the coffee cup from his hand.

Then, she did one shot without stopping.

“No, why are you drinking all of that…”

“Mm, it’s delicious.”

“…That it was mine.”

“I only had one bite.”

“…”

Suho looked at the two as if he was dumbfounded.

These bites are real.

Both are the same, the same.

“Manager, can I bring you another drink?”

“… Come with me.”

“Then just change your clothes!”

“Okay.”

A week later

Time passed, and the “League Cup” In February was approaching.

The first unit constructed by Solar.

There has already been a response from home.

I searched the internet while waiting for the members in the hotel lobby.

[＜League＞

AI girl group character revealed! The name of the group consisting of 4 members is LOKA…]

The process of matching up with two pop singers.

Life in America was a bit monotonous.

Tiri-Ri-Ring-

At that time, Umji-yu received a call from Korea.

Thanks to her, she could hear the news about once a day.

She said, “Ji-yu, is there anything wrong there?”

-Somi is doing a great job in variety shows these days.

“Yes?”

-The dialect burst when the army was unraveling in the city of Jeonchang.

“Aha.”

High school girls who went to the military are rare.

Originally, it felt like a cute youngest sister.

“How’s the filming going?”

– Filming is a bit tight.

“Hold on for the first half. I’ll have some spare time from next week.”

-Okay.

At that time, Jiyu opened her mouth as if she remembered something.

-Brother, did you hear about the Dream Agency actor this morning?

“That shack kicked and sent someone to the goal.”

-That’s right. I think we should change the name of our new boy group because of that.

“…”

Somehow, I personally liked the tone.

It was my preference to stick to my mouth.

-I think I’ll go with a hectopascal kick or an overhead kick!

“What’s your naming sense?”

-Ah, the Brazilian kick is also a candidate!

“…”

Of course, that’s what CEO Seo thinks.

Do I really need to use that guy’s kick?

“Yaya, our members are coming. I’ll call you again.”

-Yes!

Soon, Yeji and Diana came out to the hotel lobby.

The two children waved at me from afar.

“Guys, today is stage rehearsal, right?”

“Yes, that is correct.”

“I heard that they stopped by for a short time today at Geoll for a stage sponsorship.”

“Oh, really?”

“Yes. You can directly sponsor LOKA costumes.”

“Oh oh…!”

I think Sakura-san will come and decide for herself today.

Because I’m still not sure.

I didn’t even tell producer Michael.

“Oh, and in the US management…”

“Yeah?”

“Um, no.”

I thought you were going to come to the rehearsal stage too.

Even I didn’t know who it was, so it was ambiguous to say.

I had a lot of time, but the other side said their schedule was empty only for today.

‘…Let’s see who it is.’

I immediately got into the van and moved to the rehearsal site.

The Hollywood Bowl concert venue where the “League Cup” Is held.

Soon after, arriving at the scene.

In addition to the girl group LOKA, artists who prepared for today’s stage gathered.

At that time, a rock band vocalist approached and talked to Yeji and Diana.

“AI girl group LOKA, I’m looking forward to it.”

“Oh, Pumpkin Crush! I’m a fan!”

“hahahaha. Me too.”

Eventually, the three of them took a screenshot together with their smartphones.

“Manager, great!”

“Did you just see it?”

“I saw”

Mr. Pumpkin Crush is walking away while giving a thumbs up from afar.

“I took a picture with our Pumpkin Crush leader!”

“Yes. Congratulations.”

“The manager will also take a picture.”

“Why am I taking pictures?”

“No way.”

If you upload it on social media, your face will be sold internationally.

The “League Cup” Stage of great significance for game users.

The company also prepared several things for the performance.

“Here he comes.”

“… Iknow, right.”

Sakura greeted me and waved her hand.

* * *

The ambitious project of 「League」.

Michael, the producer in charge of producing and planning the girl group LOKA.

For him, this stage was an important moment that would come once in his life.

By the way.

Korean girls taking pictures with Pumpkin Crush.

I frowned at Yeji and Diana.

“Who else is that?”

Avant-garde A woman who appeared with a 22nd century fashion sense.

She’s not kidding.

I don’t know what to do here.

She was going to run right away and get angry with team leader Jeong Soo-ho.

“As the chief designer of JEOL, it was a selfless decision.”

“Sure. Of course.”

The conversation between the two was strangely jarring.

That she was the chief designer of Geoll.

“I’ve already contacted the director of the league game company.”

“Oh yeah?”

“Yes. By sponsoring costumes for LOKA’s main stage in Zeol.”

“Thank you.”

Michael swallowed and overheard their conversation.

What do you think team leader Jung Soo-ho is doing?

To think that only one manager would follow Jiol’s sponsorship.

However, Geol’s chief designer was just the beginning.

“… What?”

In an instant, I saw a man passing by and raised my eyes wide.

‘Finn Brown!?’

A giant in the American music industry.

American producer who discovered Justin Harvey and Carly Jackson.

Without hesitation, he strode forward and spoke to Suho.

‘Why is that person here…?’

Michael followed him as if possessed by something.

“hahahaha, Chief Jung Soo-ho. We finally meet.”

“Who are you?”

Finn Brown greeted Suho with a wide smile.

“It’s from the RSB record label.”

“Ah, yes. We finally meet.”

“You came here when I was too busy and distracted. hahahaha.”

“Yes. What…”

Jung Soo-ho answers in a calm tone and receives a business card.

Rather, Finn Brown seemed to come out with a low profile.

“But what?”

“Yeah?”

“There is a rehearsal stage today.”

“Then I’ll give you a business card.”

“Yes. I’ll take it once.”

Michael was shocked to see Suho scratching the back of his head.

‘What is that bastard?’

I met Finn Brown and he said nothing was wrong?

I wouldn’t have met him without knowing who he was.

“We’ve come all the way here, so let’s take a look at the rehearsal stage.”

“Oh, is that so?”

“Yes. It’s a stage for 20,000 spectators to watch during the main stage.”

“Oh, what a stage it was!”

“It’s a bit much. hahahaha.”

Can a stage with 20,000 people be a big stage for Finn Brown?

I never thought he’d be a big guy who could crack jokes like that with him.

‘No, what kind of Korean chaebol are you?’

Or maybe he will be the CEO of Friends Entertainment.

If it’s high-end, this situation might be understandable.

“Chief Jeong, I’ll be waiting for your call.”

“Yes. I’ll contact you.”

Finn Brown smiled contentedly and left the scene.

‘Jeong Soo-ho, what is that person’s true identity!?’

In an instant, his body trembled at the chilling sensation down his spine.

In the meantime, he recalled the past when he treated Solar carelessly.

“Are you Michael Producer?”

“Yes? Yes!”

“What, why are you suddenly like that?”

“Ah.”

Jeongsu Lake, which seemed ordinary, looked like a huge mountain.

Zeol’s chief designer.

Senior Producer of RSB.

To think he was a big man standing shoulder to shoulder with such people.

“Hey, did I make a mistake?”

“Suddenly?”

“No, just… hahahaha.”

Team leader Jung Soo-ho shrugged his shoulders and pointed at the stage with his finger.

“You have to prepare the rehearsal stage.”

“Ah, yes! I will do my best!!!”

“?”

Michael disappears with two members of Solar.

Suho scratched his head and looked at him.

“… Why are you suddenly like that?”

I haven’t checked the business card I got from the RSB staff yet.

First of all, I have to focus on the rehearsal stage today.

What if that picky Michael gets into a fight?
