[83] Growth (8)

Recently, a strange rumor has been floating around the broadcasting company.

In fact, to call it a rumor was a bit exaggerated.

-The works selected by the Q&G label, Jeong Su-ho, are sure to be successful.

How nonsense is this?

Anyone who knew the physiology of the entertainment world would know.

Unchilgisam.

If you have skills and quality above a certain level, you’re out of luck after that.

Predicting the subjective pleasure of millions and tens of millions of people.

Didn’t a one-hit wonder come into existence and disappear just because of the good timing and the era?

I thought Solar was just lucky.

「Revenge Girl」 And 「Dancing Street」 Were different.

‘… That this is possible?’

The top floor of Friends headquarters, a dinosaur company in the entertainment industry.

Chairman Bang Cheol-ho asked his subordinates a question.

“Secretary Kim, if it were you, would you have invested in Revenge Girl?”

“I wouldn’t have.”

“The reason is?”

“It’s because she’s an unknown director and the one-top lead of a girl group member.”

“…Then what about Dancing Street?”

“It’s the same.”

It was a very natural answer.

Because normal people avoid risks.

An action film directed by a director who wandered around film festivals looking for connections.

An entertainment show that insisted on casting overseas dancers on the verge of bankruptcy.

The two works had only one thing in common.

That Jeong Su-ho saved a dying work.

‘That person is real.’

I forcibly led to the production of a work that could not come out in the world, and it was successful.

No, it’s not just a level of success, it’s a jackpot.

8 million viewers and 10th place in Nexplex Global Ranking.

Is that all, the work that Solar was put into was at least heavy hit.

It happened once or twice, and this was close to shamanism.

‘Now I’ll believe it even if it’s a shaman.’

Where has such a monstrous talent been hiding until now?

“Could you scout Chief Jeong Soo-ho?”

“I’ve already tried headhunting.”

“… Failed.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“The reason is?”

“That’s probably…”

Listening to what the secretary said, he was an even more coveted talent.

“Just because of Jung? Because you raised Solar yourself?”

“Yes. I think so.”

“He’s a romantic friend.”

“…”

Chairman Bang Cheol-ho pondered for a moment before opening his mouth.

“Then why don’t you bring it along?”

“Yeah?”

Most people think of mergers and acquisitions as difficult.

In fact, most were just a combination of debt and equity.

It is time to take off the ‘Enter’ label and leap forward to the global platform ‘Friends’.

How much of a force can one talented person be at such an important juncture.

“The problem is the Dream Agency.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

It wasn’t even a job for a small and medium-sized entertainment company.

The problem is the dream agency holding the real ownership.

No matter how much Friends has grown into a dinosaur company.

‘Only because of one chief manager…’

You can’t take over a large company.

It’s not even a situation where you can afford it.

“Is there no way?”

“I do have one.”

“… Whoa.”

The secretary knew too much of herself.

“Room madam.”

“Yeah.”

A distant relative with the same surname.

It’s been years since I haven’t contacted you.

“Are you saying you know what kind of relationship I have with you?”

“Yes. I know.”

I am no longer better than others.

It was safe to say that it was the enemy.

“I don’t think I’ve been in touch with the room madam for almost 20 years.”

“The years go by so quickly.”

“Okay, is there any other way?”

“There is not.”

“Then let’s think about it.”

“Yes. Chairman.”

Bang Cheol-ho glared at the secretary slightly and looked away.

[Global Ranking #10 “Dancing Street”]

A crazy eye that predicts a project that will succeed.

Is there another skill more important than that in the entertainment industry?

‘Anyway, it’s amazing.’

Still, it wasn’t enough to clear up the 20-year-old remnants.

* * *

1 in the global ranking among entertainment programs that are not self-produced by Nexplex.

The most popular crew of Dancing Street is the Korean team ‘Alpha’.

Of course, the topic was divided between Red Wine and Yang Joo-hee.

“Is your brother here?”

“Yes.”

In front of Solar and Luna’s quarters.

Jiyu parked the van and greeted me.

“He was smoking.”

“Yes. It’s a mast.”

The chief stole all but one cigarette.

“Oppa, I sent Solar and Luna’s schedules today.”

“Okay, thanks.”

“Ah, actress Lee Soo-yeon is coming next week.”

“Has it already happened?”

You just increased your work.

I need to read the drama script.

“Let’s go in.”

“Yes.”

Soon after, I entered Solar’s dorm with JiU.

“Brother, do you know that today is the day?”

“Uh. Yeji, the day I go to America.”

“…”

Team leader Koo was waiting at the airport after all preparations had already been made.

“Why didn’t you tell me in advance that you were auditioning for a Hollywood movie?”

“Secrecy is the rule.”

“Is there such a thing?”

“Yes. There was.”

I went straight into Solar’s dorm and checked her members.

“Chief!”

Yeji greeted me today with a pretty face.

I already loaded my luggage into the carrier and waited.

“Yeji, I’m going down with Jiyu.”

“What about the manager?”

“I’ll follow you to the airport too.”

“Aha.”

Yeji smiled brightly and left the dorm with Jiyu.

By the way, Eunseo and Juhee are still sleeping.

I tried to knock on the room and check inside.

“It’s not there.”

Somi, who was watching, brought her words to me from the side.

“The two of them are going to the gym now.”

“Oh yeah?”

“Yeah.”

Unnie Line, a room shared by three people.

Of course, no one was inside.

“Somi, I’m looking for employees to manage your You Tube channel.”

“Oh, really!?”

“Yes. There are people we know.”

“Who are you?”

“The producer who filmed the Yeji web drama.”

“Oh, really?”

Your own channel is doing well, so why did you apply?

I got an interview today, so if you ask me later, you’ll know.

“I’ll interview you and set up a meeting with you.”

“Okay.”

“I’ve already got a studio. I’ll set up a shoot.”

“Oh oh.”

Beep, beep beep—

Then, the sound of the door lock password is heard.

Perhaps Eun-seo and Ju-hee have returned.

I peeked inside their room and tried to close the door again.

“Just for fun…?”

In an instant, four cigarettes on the desk caught my eye.

Because Yeji can’t smoke, and Juhee only cares about her health.

“Jang-seo, jeez.”

Coincidentally, Eunseo and Joohee arrive after exercising.

He immediately approached the two of them and held out a cigarette.

“Can someone explain this?”

“Yeah? Cigarettes.”

“… I’m out of this room.”

“?”

Yes. The Revenge Girl character is a smoker.

But that’s because it’s a movie.

“Why are you only looking at me?”

“…”

Quick-witted Jean Fox opened his eyes wide and complained of injustice.

“Oh, what. It’s not me!”

“Yes. I’m a smoker too, so I understand.”

“Oh, not really!”

“Yes. I’ll trust you, so let’s quit smoking.”

“Not really!”

Originally, there is something that fans want from an idol.

Ju-hee must be afraid of her health.

Or maybe Yeji will smoke?

“I know. Girl groups are people too.”

“Oh, I’m suddenly hot.”

“…”

Cigarettes came out on the desk, and I’m more pissed off.

“I’m not really!”

“Yes. I’ll believe you.”

“I don’t believe it, because I don’t.”

“Yes. No.”

I patted Eunseo on the shoulder and left the dorm.

“Chief! Not really!”

“Okay.”

“Ah.”

Soon after, they sat together in the car with Yeji.

“Yeji, who will take care of the kids while you’re gone?”

“Yes? Why? What happened?”

“No.”

You’d better not talk about cigarettes.

I’m going to audition in America right now.

“I’ll be back next week and get the discipline!”

“… Well.”

Yeji, I’m sorry, but I’m not scared at all.

Perhaps Somi would also snort her inside.

“I’m fine now.”

“Ah yes!”

Personally, I don’t like having a hierarchy among the members.

Just not calling her sister Ya was enough.

“But chief, the bandage on the back of the head is pretty.”

“Oh, this.”

Which was given by the chief

Is it because you don’t have hair?

Like me, the back of the head has a lot of sensitivity.

“Yeji, why are you laughing?”

“No. hehehe.”

“Anyway, if you go to America, contact me.”

“Can I?”

“Of course.”

It was embarrassing to say hello for a long time because it was only a week.

I felt sorry for making it happen along with the album preparation.

“Have a good audition.”

“Yeah!”

100% if it tickles when anxious.

Because I believe in the back of the head.

‘I will do well unconditionally.’

* * *

Tadak, tadak-

[I was treated as a parachute, but suddenly I became a competent employee]

-I work as an intern at an investment company.

But a hyung I know recommends an investment stock hahahaha

To be honest, I was skeptical at first too.

At that time, the shooter shouted his name from afar.

“Uhm Jae-ha, come here!”

A shooter who calls himself a parachute and craves every day.

His father had no heart to shield him.

“Yes, yes, did you call?”

“I’m going to admit it though.”

“Yeah?”

Sigh-

The shooter pointed to the monitor screen and opened his mouth.

“Dancing Street, has risen to 8th place in the global rankings.”

“Ahahahaha.”

“I’m sorry I was against investing at first.”

“Ah, that was in the past.”

“You seem to have a better eye for the entertainment industry than I thought.”

“…”

It was a work that Suho hyung unilaterally recommended.

I will recommend it, so whether you invest or not, do as you please.

“Thank you.”

I got compliments from the shooter for the first time.

Maybe you’ll write a good review too.

Um Jae-ha went back to his seat and finished his writing.

Post a post on the 「Sunshine」 Cafe as a sub character.

I slowly checked Solar’s schedule these days.

“Well, Yeji went to America.”

Cabi. I should have followed you to the airport and cheered you on.

No, I think I will be sold as a dog if I meet Jiyu.

“Anyway.”

Thanks to Suho-hyung, the company also takes care of all the results.

To be honest, I’ve been watching his eyes since I was young.

‘How can a person change like this?’

Wasn’t it teased every day for being a dog poop?

Every song I choose, every work I do is ruined.

“… You studied hard.”

Every time Jiyu praised him, there was something he said.

If you study the music market, you will see the way.

He doesn’t sleep and analyzes the industry every day.

Regardless of whether that is possible, it has already been proven with results.

“…It was believable.”

If Yang Joo-hee hadn’t appeared, she probably wouldn’t have been interested in Dancing Street.

As the manager of 「Sunlight」Cafe, she invested with her fan spirit.

Now, I think I will just trust his eyes and invest.

“Jaeha, what are you doing?”

“Yeah?”

Then, the voice of the shooter came from behind.

At the moment of disaster, I was embarrassed to turn off the cafe.

“Hey, this isn’t bullshit.”

“Keuuu, you’re monitoring the reaction of the Dancing Street community.”

“… Answer.”

“I do it while resting.”

“Preload.”

Thanks to Suho hyung, I felt a bit like going to work.

A cafe in Gangnam.

I watched the teaser uploaded today while waiting for someone.

《[SOLAR] 1st Full Album Official MV Teaser “Black Sun”》

-5 hours ago

-7.32 million views

-530,000 likes, 6,000 dislikes

– 120,000 comments

Now, it has easily reached 10 million views in one day.

Domestic activities without proper overseas activities.

Perhaps, Jang Eun-seo’s movie and Yang Joo-hee’s dance variety show were hard-carrying.

Belt-

At that time, the person who made an appointment for today’s meeting sent me a message.

[I’m almost there!]

“I have already arrived.”

I sipped my coffee while looking at Joo Hyun-seong’s resume.

The godmother of the last drama world, the niece of writer Kim Go-eun.

-Name: Hyunseong Joo

-Experience: Operated a channel with 1 million subscribers

-Special item: 1st member of Sunlight (important!)

He hid the name Somi, but he already knew who it was.

It seems that there are acquaintances among the employees of our company.

「Pinocchio Studio」

“…But the channel name has changed.”

Low-budget, high-quality drama production channel.

You grew up brightly during the Yeji web drama.

‘What, only advertisements for nutritional supplements are uploaded?’

Maybe it’s because I can’t pick out the quality as much as Yeji did.

It seems that the channel has been taken over by a company that sells nutritional supplements.

With my daughter, with my daughter-

Soon after, Hyunseong Joo entered the cafe and found me.

“Manager Jeong Soo-ho!”

“Yes. Mr. Hyeonseong.”

“How are you?”

“Of course.”

After a light hello, we talked about the channel.

“Because I have a friend who worked hard on the staff.”

“Yeah?”

“I finished the work and went to sleep.”

“…”

I have already sold all of my shares.

Channel rights were passed on to other companies.

“Well, that’s how it happened.”

“Please save me.”

“…”

Directing, cinematography, lighting, editing, sound.

Where did all the fighting spirit go?

How common is it to blow up a channel with 1 million subscribers?

‘… Will it be okay?’

I don’t know if I’m ruining Somi’s image for nothing.

“It’s a condition of hiring all the members of Mr. Hyunseong’s filming team.”

“Well, yes, but…”

“Oh, I have the next interviewer.”

“Manager! You can’t throw it away like this!”

“No, throw something away.”

“I’ll do really well!”

“…”

In an instant, I felt a gentle sensation in the back of my head.

I got scabs from scratching too hard.

“Okay, then.”

He squeezed the back of his head and opened his mouth slowly.

“I’ll judge after seeing the edited version of the first shoot.”

“Oh, really.”

“Yes. This is a talk show where Somi introduces the composer Jia Han.”

“Ugh, talking is my specialty.”

“…”

You specialize in web dramas.

It seems that the management of the company is not suitable for the aptitude.

When I saw Yeji during filming, he was good at directing and editing.

“Hey, manager.”

“Yeah.”

“At the Sunlight Café, they talk a lot about the Baeksang Arts Awards next week.”

“Okay?”

So many nominations were made.

It was proof of hard work last year.

“Wouldn’t it be helpful for the initial release of a regular album if it became a hot topic that day?”

“Perhaps.”

“Then I’ll finish filming and editing before that. So that I can upload it right away.”

“So fast?”

“Just leave it to me.”

“Yes. What.”

Next week, Yeji’s American audition and Baeksang Arts Awards.

And, the comeback season for the first full-length album has arrived.
