chapter 141
Looking at Yuna’s brightly smiling expression, I thought of this.
‘Wasn’t that the purpose from the beginning?’
< Episode 137 > End
< Episode 138 >
Thanks to the longer-than-scheduled American filming of <Busking>, I had a lot to do when I returned.
The first thing to do.
It was about Sia’s mini-album.
When I was in the US, I got a call that the final recording work was finished.
“Are you here? I was about to contact you when I heard that the CEO had come.”
“What could be more prioritized than Sia’s mini-album?”
Shia arrived at Ringo’s studio and was waiting for me.
Sia smiled brightly when I said it was the most important thing out of my mouth.
After Park Ki-beom, who was away to wash up for a while, came back.
“Shall we listen to the song first?”
I took out the words to listen to the song first.
The most important thing was the song.
Ringo nodded knowing what I was saying and played the song.
The exciting melody that makes your shoulders move and Sia’s vocals that make you feel cool go well together and tickle your ears.
I liked the previously completed songs, but to the point where I thought it would be okay if the last completed song became the title song.
“Is it good? Really good.”
It was an honest evaluation that came out of my mouth when the song was over.
It was a song that suited the season of summer, and most of all, it really suited Sia’s image.
Ringo’s expression brightens at the words that come out of my mouth.
Due to the many things that had happened between me and Ringo, Ringo had already acknowledged it before he knew it.
That the evaluation I make after listening to the song is more accurate than I thought.
At first, I showed the image of Gingaminga, but eventually, as time passed, Ringo also started looking for me when he finished the song.
I mean, I want an honest evaluation.
I can’t help but be glad that such praise came out of my mouth that it was really good without any further explanation.
Usually, when I give an evaluation like this, the results are really good.
“Is this song your favorite? I had a lot of worries about this last song. It was resolved well thanks to Shia’s listening and giving her decisive opinion.”
“Is that so?”
“yes. Thanks to that, a custom song came out that was perfect for Sia. No other singer will ever get this feeling.”
Ringo was right.
Certainly, each and every song in the mini-album was completed with satisfactory songs.
In particular, I even thought that this last song I heard today is a song that will focus on Sia’s mini-album.
After confirming the song, I shifted my gaze to Sia, who was standing next to me.
“Sia. choreography?”
Once the song is complete, the next step is the choreography.
For a dance song, the choreography is just as important as the music.
“I was constantly working on the choreography while working on the album. So everything was done. Practice is almost over.”
Sia’s answer to my question follows immediately.
In fact, the part that Sia didn’t have to worry about the most was that choreography.
Because there was a person who stepped out more than anyone else for Sia’s choreography.
In addition, the Cheian choreography team, no, the backup dancers, who are being said to be the WH choreography team as a joke, also gave their full strength when it came to Sia’s song.
When I heard that I was preparing a mini album, I probably practiced first.
“then.”
After a brief pause, everyone’s eyes turned to my mouth.
“Let’s schedule a comeback as soon as the final preparations are complete.”
“really?”
As if my words to set up a comeback schedule were unexpected, Sia looked at me with grim eyes.
The last debut song I gave an OK sign after I evaluated it to the limit.
I said okay at once, even though this comeback schedule is not a single song like the debut song, but a mini album level.
Shia, of course, had no choice but to react like that.
However, this was not an impromptu decision here, but a prudent conclusion reached after careful consideration for several days.
“okay. I just heard the song, but it’s the best.”
Here, Ringo and Park Ki-bum smile.
“And Sia, you put your singing skills on track while preparing for your debut last time. If you’re ready, don’t waste time and come back right away.”
At these words, Sia put on a face full of happiness.
While preparing for her debut song the other day, and even after her promotions were over, Sia didn’t just take a break.
It’s because I’ve continued vocal training under Lee Ji-young’s lessons without missing a single day.
It was Sia who trained diligently except for rest days under Lee Ji-young’s proper management.
I had been talking to Lee Ji-young on the phone before I came here.
“Sia? You don’t need to have a separate training period. You can prepare right away.”
Lee Ji-young’s evaluation came out.
So there’s no need to procrastinate now that everything is ready.
“one week. I’ll have my final test in exactly one week, so get ready. Understand?”
“yes!”
Although it was the final test, Sia’s comeback was already confirmed.
There are many things to prepare, so I just mentioned the final test to set an intermediate goal.
First of all, I have to shoot a music video, and I have to schedule a comeback stage with broadcasting companies.
I’ll deal with that gradually.
After Shia’s answer, he started a small daily conversation with Park Ki-bum and Ringo.
Because I was busy, I couldn’t visit Ringo’s studio.
“I heard you are busy these days.”
“Uh. don’t talk Since Kibum said he would prepare for Yuanna’s next album, it wasn’t a hassle to adjust our schedule.”
Come to think of it, it was time to start preparing for Yuanna’s 2nd regular album.
The reason Park Ki-bum started preparing for the album was after talking with me.
What are you thinking about when to release the 2nd regular album of Yuanna?
“I’m thinking about fall, so you can take some time to spare.”
“It’s good. I was still working on the songs, so it was not enough to show them.”
At the word autumn, Park Ki-bum nodded.
Maybe the time he thought and the time I said matched appropriately.
The reason for setting the regular 2nd album activity period in the fall was simple.
At the end of the year, it was confirmed that Arin would advance to the US.
“As I said before, I think Arin will advance to the US at the end of the year. With Derek and our concert tour across the United States confirmed, we won’t be back until early next year.”
“Then I should prepare songs suitable for fall. lest it be too late.”
“Please take good care of me. Composer Park Ki-beom.”
It was the moment when the concept for Yuanna’s 2nd regular album was decided.

After coordinating the timing of Sia’s mini-album release.
The next person called to the company was Jay-Z.
Coincidentally, Jay-Z came to the office right away, as if he had been to an event with Draup.
“You said you were busy these days?”
“It was. I’m a bit better now. Apparently, as time passed after the broadcast ended, the number of places calling for it was decreasing little by little. I guess that’s why there’s a saying that you have to hold on tight.”
After <Rep Legend K> aired.
It was Jay-Z, who was busy attending various events with Draup.
The combination of the winners of <Rap Legend K>, Grupo, Draup, and Jay-Z, was quite popular.
Dreup played many events, regardless of size, to give Grupo experience on stage.
Jay-Z also shared the joy of going on stage.
“Jay. What would you like the next activity to be like? I called because I wanted to refer to your opinion.”
I had a method in mind, but the most important thing was Jay-Z’s own opinion.
“I want to… let my fans hear my songs often. Rather than releasing a regular album like Sia now.”
also.
Now, the public’s evaluation was not important to Jay-Z.
YO beat battle, even a producer in <Rap Legend K>.
The time to prove it is past.
In addition, various events were already going on with Draup, so there was no need to worry.
then.
Jay-Z should be allowed to do the music activities he wants.
“Then, how about releasing a song with Monthly Jay-Z?”
“Are you Monthly Jay?”
“okay. Jay-Z releases a new song on a specific day every month. No matter what song it is.”
“uh? Are you okay? No, I really like it.”
The method I thought of was <Monthly Jay-Z>.
Jay-Z recorded quite a few songs while living a long unknown life.
They say that when a beat or melody came to mind, they made it, wrote lyrics on the spot, and recorded the song.
The other day, I grabbed the blade and listened to it, and all the songs were really good.
When are you going to release all these songs?
enough to think like this.
There were too many songs to put in one album, each with their own feelings.
During his long life of obscurity, Jay-Z had different colors depending on his situation.
Even right before meeting me, he sang about the brightness in the midst of hunger, hardships, and hardships, so it was even music that the current Jay-Z couldn’t show.
So I thought.
It’s good to record new songs, and I like the songs in Jay-Z’s music box, so let’s release them periodically.
There will be times when the reaction is good and times when it is bad.
But at some point, people will wait.
The first day of every month when Jay-Z’s new song will be released.
“You can release one song, or you can release two or three songs. Among the songs in Jay-Z’s music box, it’s good to put out songs that have overlapping feelings.”
But it was important.
“You shouldn’t run too fast from the beginning. This is the process of making Jay-Z your name into a brand.”
“Brandra… can I do it?”
I confidently told Jay-Z, who was worried.
“of course. Is this Choi Woo-hyuk’s decision after hearing all of Jay-Z’s songs?”
Only then did he hear the word Choi Woo-hyuk, and his worried expression gradually brightened.
okay.
From a certain moment on, Sia and even Jay-Z started to trust me.
Aren’t those words more powerful than any words of encouragement in the world?
“So trust me and try it. Understand?”
“yes! Shall we announce it right away?”
“no. Don’t be too hasty. We should also talk to the public relations team about how to start.”
“Oh right. I almost rushed again.”
Now the company is starting to run pretty well.
It’s not that I plan and proceed with everything like before.
Once the overall direction was set, the best detailed methods were found and executed.
So, the specific plan for <Monthly Jay-Z> should be started after internal review of the company.
“Then Jay-Z decided to do that. Let’s make a final decision at our next meeting. Understand?”
“yes!”

Director Park Chan-woong’s film <The Jeonse>.
Before the full-fledged crank-in, we decided to hold a ceremony to pray for the success of the movie.
Originally, it was set to be the day after I returned to Korea after filming for <Busking> was over.
– yes? Additional shooting confirmed? Oh, you can’t do that. what about this
“sorry. After this arrived on site, additional filming was decided.”
– Oh, no. Please wait for a moment and I will check and contact you.
Representative Deok-soo Kim hung up the phone in a panic.
And within a few minutes, CEO Kim Deok-soo received a call again.
– Then, when will the additional filming be over? We will postpone the exam schedule.
“Are you okay?”
– The investment company also told me that it would be meaningless if CEO Choi Woo-hyuk wasn’t there, and that it was postponed to a date that I could attend, so it’s okay.
It was not just an easy event.
Even in the movie version, where there are many superstitions, it was the gosa that was never skipped.
Even the cost alone was several hundred, so it was no different from a big event for CEO Kim Deok-soo.
The test, which had been postponed once, was now in progress.
“Please, please, I beg you to cross the break-even point.”
CEO Kim Deok-soo, who had 50,000 won on a pig’s head, prayed earnestly while lying on his stomach until the people around him buzzed.
“I hope you can help us make the filming end safely and safely.”
Director Kim Deok-soo, who heard director Park Chan-woong’s wish right next to him, jumped up.
“older brother. Now, even the people involved in the investment company are all here, but what if the director ends it like that? You have to talk about s*x, of course. oops I’d rather die than get sick.”
There was such a small commotion for a while.
Finally it was my turn.
I took out the prepared envelope from my pocket and bitten it on the pig’s head.
Reporters flocked to the rumor that the WH Choi Woo-hyuk division would be joining director Park Chan-woong’s comeback film.
Lee Joo-yeon, new child actor Min-joon, and even Hyeok-jun, who was named in Friendship.
That’s why the camera was busy running to take pictures of me attending the Gosa site.
“oh my. Representative Choi. If you have any prayers, just a little bit for me. I won’t tell you anywhere, so please tell me a little bit.”
“I wished the movie a great success. I mean the same prayer as Mr. Kim.”
It was CEO Deok-soo Kim who smiled at my answer.
It must have sounded like he was calling lottery numbers to CEO Deok-soo Kim, who felt more about WH CEO Woo-hyuk Choi’s choice than anyone else.
What did you actually wish for?
Of course, I prayed that director Park Chan-woong’s movie <The Jeonse> would be a hit.
I did add one more thing to it.
‘To Lee Ju-yeon, who believed in my choice and worked with me on the film, it’s okay to be small, so ask for an award.’
Of course, it won’t end with prayer.
< Episode 138 > End
< Episode 139 >
The day after the first broadcast of <Busking>, where Cherry Berry Minah went to the US to film.
At the call of Team 1, Mina had to go to the company.
For some reason, despite the fact that Mina appeared on the broadcast, she was the leader of Team 1 who greeted her with a smile.
“It’s Mina. good job good job To be honest, I was very worried about the amount of time I spent because you lacked a lot of sense of entertainment. I thought I would hit you once.”
“I think it came out well because U & Na’s Arin took good care of me.”
The head of Team 1, who nodded at Mina’s words, began to bring up the matter that had called her.
“After yesterday’s broadcast, I watched some of the community’s reactions, and it was good.”
There was no way he sent the manager to call Minah just to give him a compliment.
The following business was enough to surprise Mina.
It’s on the bad side, not the good side.
“So let’s drive this momentum and release a solo song.”
“A solo song? As the team leader knows, I’m planning to release <happy>, which I recorded with Arin this time, right? If the broadcast of additional filming goes out.”
Mina hurriedly said when team leader 1 asked to release a solo song.
