NOVEL NEXT chapter 180
[180] Performance preparation (3)
wish music media.
The company belonging to director Song Yoo-hwan, who rose to stardom with the M/V of ‘Only Look at Me’.
The staff at the music video studio were busy today.
“It’s not a complete song.”
“It is said to be near completion.”
“Okay.”
Director Song mentioned the news on the main portal today.
“Did you see today’s article?”
“Yes. China is China.”
“Iknow, right.”
So is it?
As soon as I got the call, I made an appointment for a meeting the same day.
Sky Entertainment also meant that it was sincere.
“CEO Jeong Soo-ho is here!”
“Wow.”
CEO Jung Soo-ho, his right-hand man, and team leader Koo came in together.
A white light radiated as if a halo was shining behind him.
When I was filming the music video for “Only Look at Me,” I couldn’t even imagine it.
‘I never thought I’d become this big…’
He must be one of the unprecedented geniuses in the world entertainment industry.
A girl group producer who has the same influence as the current Friends Room chairman.
The fact that it was achieved in just two years was astounding.
Soon after, he approached and exchanged greetings lightly.
“Director Song, it’s been a while.”
“Hello! Thank you for visiting again!”
“I’m more grateful. Solar appeared thanks to the ‘Look at Me’ music video.”
“Ugh, don’t say that!”
“I’m serious.”
Wasn’t he the benefactor who selected himself, an unknown director at the time, and made him a star director?
‘Ji, you’re serious.’
If those eyes were false, you would have become an actor.
Did this mind put him in the top position?
“Then, shall we talk about work?”
“Oh, yes!”
For the musical part, I mainly talked with team leader Koo.
The representative who keeps silence behind the scenes.
His eyes, as if testing them, made him very nervous.
Mistress, our eyes met.
“Oh, I don’t know much about music, so I’ll just listen.”
“…”
It was a real test.
Even if the public who doesn’t know music at all listens to it, make a perfect music video!
“Dae, CEO. I’ll do my best.”
“No. Take it easy.”
“…”
It’s uncomfortable, but how can I make it comfortable?
What does it mean when others praise you as a star director?
In front of such a giant, I was just a firefly in front of the sun.
“Then, the concept for this music video shoot is…”
Historical drama atmosphere.
The styling is Hanbok.
In particular, the shot of the Solar members wearing hanbok suited them very well.
Yeji and Eunseo are currently filming historical dramas.
Joo-hee and So-mi who took a cover photo in an entertainment show.
Even Diana, a half-American.
Soon after, CEO Jeong Su-ho expressed his opinion for the first time.
He said, “How about adding a musical instrument scene to the music video?”
“What instrument…”
“I haven’t decided on that yet, but I hope it has a little Korean feel.”
“Ah, then…”
It’s a Korean musical instrument.
“Then would you like to pick one of these?”
“Oh, I guess.”
Soon, the sound of dozens of musical instruments was played through Nutube.
The CEO was hooked on one of them and listened to it over and over again.
“Ah, it’s an instrument called saenghwang.”
“Oh, yes. It’s a wind instrument.”
Are you interested in these non-mainstream instruments?
A traditional musical instrument that is said to produce a mysterious tone resembling a phoenix.
It is similar to the sound of an accordion, so it fits well with modern music.
“Are you okay?”
“Oh, is that so?”
“Yeah.”
CEO scratching the back of his head.
Director Song smiled and introduced the expert.
“I know a friend who plays Korean traditional music. What if that friend appears in a music video?”
“No. I want only Solar members to appear.”
“…”
Does this mean that the solar members will perform directly in the music video?
The history of saenghwang is as old as that of Korea.
It was difficult to find skilled performers among Korean traditional musicians.
“He’ll be able to teach you.”
“Okay?”
“Yep!”
Of course, it was not an instrument that could be learned quickly.
“Then let’s set up the next meeting with the Korean traditional music teacher.”
“Shall we see you at Sky Enter?”
“Yes. I will complete the song before then if possible.”
“All right.”
After the meeting, I called the representative to check the watch.
“Even if it’s for dinner after today…”
“Sorry. I have a prior arrangement.”
“Aha.”
Well, it’s because I’m a person in this position.
I would live a busy life with no time to meet a woman.
“Let’s eat next time.”
“Yes. CEO!”
* * *
Sigh-
Jang Jang-seo picked up her smartphone and checked Suho’s talk.
Why does a message that is not so warm make my heart flutter so much?
[I’ll pick you up by 8:00 PM]
The spring cherry blossom date that I caught this evening.
A round smile formed on Eunseo’s lips.
“What are you doing, is something good going on?”
“Me? Isn’t it?”
Soon, Somi stared at herself and smiled at her.
“What, something good.”
“Because it’s not.”
“Oh, there’s no filming, so you’re going to meet someone.”
“…”
Are you Sherlock Holmes?
It was a big deal. Somimon is interested.
If you don’t disperse aggro, it’s a catastrophe.
“Aren’t you studying for high school 3?”
“I’m done studying.”
“My youngest, there is no end to studying.”
“There is an end to studying for the CSAT.”
“It’s spring now, but it’s already over!?”
“Yes.”
There was no pretense in Somi’s brightly smiling expression.
‘Why do you want a girl group…’
I have to do it. It’s solar
Even if she takes first place in the country, can we be sure that she is better than a world star?
She may have recognized the CEO first, saying that geniuses can communicate with each other.
‘By the way…’
How do you keep this smart friend apart and run?
“Somi, I’m going to see my grandmother today.”
“Oh, I want to say hi too!”
“… He hates greetings.”
“Eh, you say you don’t like greetings?”
“It can be.”
“Aww. It’s too much.”
“I’ll try to tell you well. You’ll be greeted next time.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
Ding-dong-
Then, the doorbell rang in the inn.
Somi hurriedly ran and opened her front door.
“Eunseo, Grandma is here.”
“… Ah.”
Why is her grandmother here?
“Hello, Grandma!!”
“Ohh, Somi is there too.”
“Can I say hello?”
“Then of course. My youngest and grandmother will give you some pocket money. Just wait.”
“…”
Soon after, Somi turned her head and gave a sigh.
‘Smile…?’
Shin So-mi, the other day, Ye-ji’s unnie went on a date in the reed field.
Belt-
At that time, she sent a message saying that the CEO was in front of the house.
Today, I really wanted to see the cherry blossoms just the two of us.
Moment, a person sending a signal to himself.
‘Ha, grandma…?’
Indeed, the attention of first-class investors was soaring.
– I’ll hold on!
She tried so hard for her granddaughter’s relationship.
Telepathy through the eyes.
This is the greatness of the K-blood line.
Eunseo safely left the dorm to avoid Somimon.
In the meantime, if the CEO brought someone, they’d have a pot pot.
‘… I don’t have to wake up.’
Fortunately, she waited alone and waved her hand.
How long has it been since you saw the cherry blossoms?
He spent time avoiding the eyes of his fans.
I just watched the scattering cherry blossoms in the car.
“Is this… Cherry blossom viewing?”
“Sorry. This was for the best.”
“Pooh.”
Outsiders praise him for being a world star and a genius producer.
“We are the same.”
“I know.”
A comfortable person like a long-time friend.
Eunseo held the hand of Suho, who was driving, on the other side.
Soon, she looked out the window in embarrassment.
‘Just like this…’
I don’t think it matters as long as the CEO doesn’t distance himself.
Whoever he stands next to, as long as he does not leave himself.
“It’s Eunseo.”
“Only today.”
“…”
The two of them just enjoyed a comfortable time without speaking.
* * *
A few days later, Sky Entertainment.
As soon as I went to work, I headed to Diana’s studio.
In particular, today we had a second meeting with the music video production crew.
Drooling-
“CEO, are you here?”
“Yes.”
Diana and Ailee, the producers who were already waiting for me.
The two shared the finished version with a smile of repentance.
「Heavenly Sound」
It was a song composed by the best composers in the company.
Top line co-written by Ryu Shia and Han Jia.
A group song arranged by Diana and Ailee.
“I also put the sound of saenghwang in midi.”
“Do you know how to play an instrument?”
“No. I’ve seen it a few times on You Tube.”
“Does that work?”
“There is no musical instrument that cannot be made with MIDI these days.”
“Um, yes.”
Could Diana be a true genius?
A producer optimized for the MIDI era.
Soon after, I was convinced the moment I heard the song Diana was playing.
‘This exhilarating sensation.’
It seems that Solar will dominate the music market this year as well.
New instrumental harmonies that blend with existing melodies.
It’s like a harmonica, but it also has an accordion feel.
‘… Reversed betrayal!’
Among inverse doubles, upper doubles.
The scent of this classical music that I hate.
He nodded his head in the conviction that emanated from the tingling back of his head.
“Good work, both of you.”
“Thank you!”
After a while,
Music video staff and teacher Saenghwang visited Sky Enter.
A real man dressed in hanbok and wearing a hat.
Although the producers were nervous about the appearance of a traditional Korean music expert.
They listened to the completed song together and poured out rave reviews.
“Wow, the atmosphere has changed dramatically.”
“Really?”
Diana smiled broadly and had a conversation with the Korean traditional musician.
“Our rep told us to add it!”
“Heh heh heh. I heard you picked one out of dozens of instruments.”
“Yes!”
I was embarrassed by the burdensome eyes.
I just picked an instrument I didn’t want to hear.
Among them, the back of the head tickles the most.
“Hmmm.”
Soon, the Korean traditional music teacher took out two saenghwang from his bag.
Then, she said, handing the new product to Diana.
“Disciple, unfortunately, it is not an instrument that can be learned quickly.”
“It’s similar to a recorder. It’s like a danso.”
“Uh huh, it’s very different.”
“Is it.”
Sir, your way of speaking is a bit strange.
He was a typical singer.
“It is called Saenghwang because it symbolizes the shape of a living creature…”
“Explanatory note… Yes.”
I quickly covered Diana’s mouth.
You almost talked to the teacher about bugs.
“Teacher, just keep explaining! hahahaha.”
“I’ll listen to you first and then I’ll explain again.”
“Eeing. CEO, your palms are too salty.”
“Stay still.”
Is this the attitude of traditional Korean musicians?
He reverently began to sing his saenghwang.
Soon after, a mysterious sound filled the studio.
I was intrigued by traditional music.
“It’s a song tailored to the level of a disciple.”
“Wow.”
Applause from the staff continues.
The Korean musician’s shoulders shrugged.
“Now, slowly starting with the basic concept of the heavy mission to match the scale…”
“Oh, I know that!”
“Oh, then, let the disciple sing it.”
“Maybe.”
Then, Diana puts her mouth to the tip of Saenghwang’s bamboo.
After three or four beeps, she began to search for notes.
“?”
“?”
The music video staff raised their hooks and looked at the Korean traditional musicians.
「Heavenly Sound」
Diana performed this song directly.
That she never practiced and became this?
Producers don’t do anything.
“As expected, it’s a clean fish!”
“…”
It’s not what you taught.
“Disciple, you may descend now.”
“Thank you sir!”
“…”
Diana is a god god of music.
* * *
New York State, New York City.
An agency that takes care of America’s most popular pop stars.
WAA pursued globalization as a global entertainment.
“In the end, I proved it sexually.”
“…”
Robert, head of planning department, gave his tongue to the arcade universe’s performance.
Beyonce, although I had no choice but to allow it according to the will of the artist.
‘I never thought it would be this successful,’ she said.
Did you see the potential just by watching the trailer?
“Yes. She was right.”
“I am sure that Sky Enter will become the best business partner in Asia.”
“I heard they sent a sound source today.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Listen to it.”
“Yes. Wait a minute.”
Robert looked at the news article, leaving the staff bringing the sound source behind.
A collaboration between WAA and Sky Enter.
It was a rather interesting gossip.
If a song that is as good as that comes out, we will continue to maintain a good relationship in the future.
Drooling-
Then, the door opened and Beyonce visited her office in person.
“Oh, what’s going on here…”
“It’s a song I’m going to sing, so I came to listen to it.”
“Oh, well.”
In fact, there were often cases where the company cut it.
It’s a song sung by top artists around the world.
Because you can’t choose randomly.
‘… I can’t even cut it off at will.’
It was clear that he had come here on purpose today.
Who can break the stubbornness of that top star?
Soon after, the staff brought the song and checked the song information.
[Sky sound]
First of all, the song name was unique.
I wonder if it contains the sound of the sky?
“What is it, it’s a Sky Entertainment group song.”
“Oh yeah?”
It’s not just Solar that wants to collaborate.
Trying to get a bus to another group now.
“Arcade universe, are those teams with members?”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“Let’s listen.”
“…”
Beyoncé has already started paying attention.
But the most important thing is the song.
It wasn’t a problem as long as the song was good.
-Tiririri─♬
A very unfamiliar song echoed through her office.
There was a time when High End sang a song with a similar feeling.
Was the title Hwimori rhythm?
‘The song is good, but…’
It was not a song with a normal atmosphere.
If you choose such a unique song and fail.
She herself found it difficult to avoid that responsibility.
“Hey, I guess this song is…”
“Yeah, that’s right, right?”
“Oh, sure.”
Thank god.
Beyonce’s thoughts seem to be similar to hers.
“As expected, it’s right for me to appear in the music video, right?”
“??”
What do you mean by that?
“Give me a plane ticket. The fastest one.”
“Ah.”
Now that this has happened, I have no choice but to trust her judgment once more.
Isn’t she the unrivaled queen of pop even among pop stars who eat raw meat?
“I’ll contact Sky Enter.”
“Like.”
I had never seen such eyes before.
Her greatest hits song that got Beyoncé where she is today.
It was similar to the look in his eyes when he first heard Say Again.
