NOVEL NEXT chapter 182
[182] Performance preparation (5)
A video of Beyoncé’s reaction to Solar’s performance.
Solar fans at home and abroad gave enthusiastic support to Solar’s video.
Seeing Beyonce’s reaction, I was excited to see what a great performance she would show.
It’s been quite some time since she posted a video.
“What is it, where did the Chinese comments go?”
“Oh, that’s a joke.”
“…”
Was it the Nihao channel, the 3 million channels that were stuffed have already made a big splash.
As she went to work with Umji Yu, she skimmed through the nutv comment window.
“Wow, this person…”
Currently, the comment that received the most likes is a Korean channel.
It was a warm compliment from teacher Park Sun-nyeo, a hanbok expert.
-I sincerely thank Solar for her wonderful courage.
Replying to @Corona
b lift it up
b The chest becomes magnificent
b this is solar
As one of the channel owners, I liked the teacher’s comment.
I guess Beyonce’s influence is significant.
Her proud comments stood out.
-Solar is a noodle soup.
ㄴ Yeji and Eunseo really captured the look and atmosphere of hanbok
ㄴㅇ You’re shooting a historical drama movie
ㄴSolar, let’s go forever
ㄴThis is national prestige.

Chinese comments have all disappeared after being bombarded with criticism from around the world.
Although it became a hot topic in the continental media.
The Chinese government gritted its teeth and pretended not to know.
-Kiki Iik-
After a while, in front of the Sky Enter office building.
Reporters were always crowded in front of the company because of Beyonce.
She will probably continue like this until she returns to America.
“CEO!”
Among them, there were some reporters I knew.
Other reporters around me flocked like doves.
“Hello. How are you?”
“Sure! Did he come to the office today?”
“Nope.”
“Ah, between us.”
“…”
What kind of relationship were we
I forgot his name.
“Um, well. You’re probably in a hotel by now, right?”
“Oh, you know!?”
“I don’t know exactly where you are staying.”
“Ah.”
Really don’t know
“Whoa, yes. Security is the life.”
“No. I really don’t know. I only see him occasionally at meetings.”
“Yes, yes. I understand everything.”
“…”
Because I really don’t know.
“CEO, I heard you were filming a music video today.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Oh oh.”
Of course, the reporters knew that too.
Solar’s external schedule was announced to her fan club.
“Then, are you thinking of revealing the MV filming location…?”
“Oh, well.”
“… Of course it must be difficult, right?”
“Answer!”
I bowed my head to the reporters and entered the company.
Employees were busy today.
Joint schedule of three girl groups.
Solar, Luna, and Eclipse were fully familiar with the choreography of the group song prior to filming the music video.
Beyonce-nim just picked up the recording and disappeared.
There’s no point in worrying about him.
“CEO.”
At that time, team leader Koo ran from among the staff and greeted me.
“I just got a call that Beyonce’s team is on their way to a music video set.”
“Oh yeah?”
“Yes. The members are currently fixing their makeup and hair on set.”
“Are the three teams and girl group members all in good shape?”
“Yes. No problem.”
“Then let’s go together.”
“Okay… Oh, that’s right.”
Soon, team leader Gu opened his mouth as if something came to mind.
“PD Na Hyun-seok contacted me.”
“Today?”
“Yes. You asked if it would be possible to record at the music video set.”
“Ah, the arcade universe again…”
“I think you will probably use it as a domestic filming copy.”
“…”
In an instant, a tickling signal occurred in the back of the head.
I heard the same question from reporters outside.
“Yeah, it must be difficult, right? I contacted you and politely…”
“No. Call me.”
“Yes? Really?”
“It’s just a broadcast. It’s not a spoiler if the video is released on the release date.”
“Then WAA company…”
“I’ll tell you well.”
“All right.”
It is impossible to guess how many people will be at the “Sound from the Sky” Music video set.
Only three girl groups.
Beyonce Division.
Arcade universe.
In addition to our company employees, how many other music video shooting staff are there?
There was even Choi Kang-wook, a hectopascalkist, who participated as a choreographer.
‘My PD-nim, he’s on board.’
His characteristic sly expression was good in his eyes.
* * *
The fine colors of historical dramas filled the set.
Sun and moon props hanging half-obliquely across the sky.
Below that, the staff organized the movement with the girl group members.
It is a difficult task that should not be buried even by Beyoncé while maintaining the image of each team sufficiently.
Director Song Yoo-hwan prepared for the MV filming by managing the movement, concept, and props from a distance.
Suddenly, he remembered the music video for “Only Look at Me”, His life’s work.
How much effort did you put into reviving the goddess concept at that time?
There was not much difference today.
The only difference is that a world-class pop star appears in her own music video.
‘… How fucking different?’
Sibong. I’m afraid.
The moment I saw Beyonce from afar, my skinny cells raised their heads.
Of course, the director holding the megaphone couldn’t show his nervousness.
Sigh-
I turned my gaze and checked the choreographers next to me.
‘Choi Kang-wook…’
A dancer who choreographed point choreography entrusted by CEO Chung at the age of a high school student.
Unlike himself, he checked the stage and the set with a firm expression.
‘Even a high school student like this has a professional mindset!’
As he looked at him, he deeply reflected on himself.
Soon, he changed his eyes and moved forward.
‘I am a director.’
The leader and director who should be in charge of filming the music video today.
Director Song greeted Beyonce on behalf of the staff.
“Hello.”
Meanwhile, a person who was taking pictures of them from the side.
My PD approached the choreographer team and talked to them.
“Mr. Choi Kang-wook.”
“…”
No matter how much I concentrated, no answer came back.
Instead, Red Wine, who was next to him, opened his mouth.
“PD-nim, Kang-wook can’t talk right now.”
“Yeah?”
“I passed out alive.”
“…”
Does that work?
“Beyonce-nim told me today that it’s a dance choreography.”
“Aha.”
You kept it a secret until the very end.
I’m afraid they’ll revise the choreography at the end.
After all, representative Jung Soo-ho is not an ordinary devil.
A group song by Sky Enter.
Rumors were still rife.
The fact that it was a historical drama atmosphere was spread openly with a picture of Solar wearing a hanbok.
Other than that, the OST of “The King’s Dignity”, Beyonce participating in the feature, etc.
Unsubstantiated rumors circulated.
‘In this place today…’
You must unconditionally pull out the mulberry.
A girl group of three teams aligning their movements on stage.
Beyoncé and her back-up artists next to them.
A situation where everyone becomes a picture no matter who they take.
While thinking about how to edit it, I proceeded with filming at the same time.
“Okay then, let’s start filming the first scene.”
“Roll, Ready!!!”
The three girl groups and the Beyonce team harmonized and created a spectacular performance.
In particular, all the costumes are comfortably improved hanbok.
It was a bit fluttery, but elegant.
“Standby, action!”
Soon after, Korean traditional music players started playing and traditional melodies came out.
As soon as you see the beautiful dance line, a strange thrill rises,
The moment I heard Yezi and Beyonce’s chords, I got goosebumps.
‘…That was it.’
Isn’t this the moment CEO Jeong Soo-ho’s dream and goal come true?
Growing solar and spreading beautiful sound all over the world.
The influence of K-pop spreading all over the world through popular music.
The most Korean thing is the most global thing.
I almost shed tears of emotion at the fact that we were sharing a historic moment together.
Perhaps the other staff and production staff here have the same thoughts as you.
‘Current CEO Jeong Soo-ho…’
Instead of watching the stage alone, he ‘evaluated’ the performance with sharp eyes.
As if no one could tolerate any mistakes.
As usual, he scratched the back of his head and nodded.
Beyond the Korean entertainment giant, he has become a star that exists on his own.
* * *
So, when does the music video shoot end?
I was busy only during the preparation stage, and there was nothing for me to do on the set.
When music experts don’t understand, they just nod their heads.
“CEO, shall we move on to the next scene?”
“Yes. You do.”
“Then I’ll take a break for 5 minutes and go right away.”
“Yes Yes.”
Why does Director Song keep asking?
He almost told me to take care of it.
In any case, the level of completion of the stage was checked countless times before even starting.
The back of the head is a cheat key that tells you the correct answer before looking at the results.
Not to mention singing or dancing.
Sets, props, costumes, coordination.
Nothing was outside the range of reverse double angle.
Thanks to that, I watched a stage that didn’t suit my taste at all.
He scratched the back of his head with a moved expression like everyone else.
In the meantime, everyone was at the top level in terms of skills, so I didn’t get caught.
‘Obviously at first…’
It was an atmosphere where Beyonce was the center of her stage.
Before she knew it, her attention began to turn to Solar.
She’s not nervous at all, she leads Luna and the Eclipse members.
She said, ‘I’ll just have to do this at the concert.’
During the short break, Solar members gathered around me like baby birds.
“Brother, wasn’t I just sad?”
“Yeah. I’m not sorry.”
“I feel like I’m lacking something. I just passed on it.”
“…”
Juhee pressed my shoulder with a regretful expression.
“It hurts, Juhee.”
“Ah, bro, a mistake.”
“Let’s not call him older brother in front of others. They misunderstand you.”
“Your brother has changed.”
“… Don’t make a vague expression. It doesn’t work.”
“Cabi.”
During the dance break, she was the main dancer who danced wildly with Beyonce.
Since she and Yang Joo-hee lightly exchanged jokes, she felt a strange sense of separation.
“Anyway.”
Besides Solar, other members were also nearby.
“Everyone is doing well, so let’s keep working hard.”
“Yes!”
Somi looked around her and put something in my hand.
“What is this strawberry candy?”
“I cherish it. hehehe.”
“…”
Why are you giving me all this?
“I’ll go to the next scene right away!”
“Yes!”
At Director Song’s instructions, the members moved again.
I peeled and ate strawberry candy while watching them.
“Brother.”
Jiyu sneaked up to me and talked to me.
“Somi, you almost got into trouble.”
“Huh? What?”
“They accidentally put strawberry candy in their pockets and started filming.”
“Oh gore?”
That’s what I’m eating right now.
“I’ll take care of it, so let your brother take care of it.”
“…”
That’s what I’m eating right now.
“Oh, what would have happened if I had run out of candy in the middle of filming.”
“Uh, um. Let’s go.”
“I got it from my mom, so I said I’d eat it on an important day.”
“…”
The lawyer’s mother?
A mother who is indifferent to her daughter?
‘… Ah-oh.’
I cleared my throat a couple of times and turned around.
“Brother, where are you going?”
“You do not need to know.”
It’s not a secret if the two of you know.
I couldn’t even make Jiu do it.
As she went outside, she took out a bag of strawberry candy from her pocket.
“Where did you buy the same thing as this?”
Mistress, why did you stop eating strawberry candy?
I will never eat anything given to me from now on.
Tiri-Ri-Ring-
Just as you are about to leave the studio.
I got a call from a UK number.
“Hello. I’m CEO Jung Soo-ho.”
-This is Daniel’s director. The performance date is out.
“Ah.”
The time has finally come.
* * *
The members of Solar successfully finished filming the music video.
It was filmed for a longer time than any other music video ever filmed.
In particular, I worked harder because a world-class star filmed together.
“Where is the representative?”
“I know.”
“You left in the middle.”
The waiting room where only Solar members gathered.
Yeji opened his mouth with a serious expression.
“I guess he didn’t like our performance.”
“Ah, no way.”
“It could be.”
“…”
You still don’t recognize her as being on the same level as Beyonce.
“We have to work harder.”
“I know.”
Still, I worked hard while filming the movie.
I couldn’t help but feel a bit savage towards the representative.
Tick-
Just then, the lights in the waiting room went out.
“Eh, what is it?”
Soon, the CEO brought a cake with candles on it.
After that, employees and staff came in together.
“Congratulations. The date for the performance has been set.”
Wembley Stadium.
The best concert hall in the UK accommodating 90,000 spectators in standing position.
A place where all the staff and producers gathered.
Finally, the date of the Wembley stage has been confirmed.
“It’s the last Saturday in August.”
I thought it was around the end of the year, but it was late summer.
London on a hot summer day when the sun is pouring.
“Then how about ticketing?”
“Around July.”
“Wow.”
Isn’t it the selection of the date worthy of the name Solar?
The performance agency also set the optimal date.
Umji Yu raised her hand and mentioned her representative’s official history.
“The CEO bought the cake himself!”
“Wow.”
As expected, the mind that thinks of Solar cannot follow the CEO.
Suho gave Somi a strawberry candy and stroked her hair.
“Let’s do our best.”
“Yes!”
The youngest with a candy in his mouth and a pleasant smile.
The other members put their mouths together and extinguished the candles.
“Whoa.”
“There.”
Soon, Diana carefully raised her hand.
“What if it rains that day?”
“…”
In an instant, the waiting room became quiet as if cold water had been poured on it.
Perhaps there is no city that rains as much as London.
“Rather good.”
Soon, the representative smiled and continued talking.
“It’s romantic to watch Solar perform in the rain in midsummer.”
“Oh oh.”
“I will dismiss all future solar events and broadcasts.”
“Ah.”
This summer, I think I will be very busy preparing for my solo concert.
* * *
Time passed,
One day when spring passed and early summer entered.
The King’s Dignity crank out news is coming.
“What time is it today?”
“Yes. Six o’clock.”
Eom Jae-ha waited in the PC room with the solar light executives.
The date of ticketing for Solar’s first solo concert overseas is approaching.
“You know we released the music video teaser this morning, right?”
“Absolutely.”
I’ve already watched the 30-second teaser dozens of times.
“It was revealed on the day of ticketing, of course.”
“I was aiming, I was aiming.”
“Then let’s see one more time before ticketing.”
“OK.”
The sound of a traditional instrument that seems sad but has a certain line.
A group shot of the beautiful girl group members through the silhouette of Beyonce.
“Keueu, wearing a hanbok is also very pretty.”
“Come on, get ready!”
I heard that there are 90,000 standing seats, but I wonder if it will fail.
Jaeha grabbed the mouse with a grim expression.
“Gentlemen, prepare for battle.”
“Oohhh!!!”
Ticketing time was approaching soon.
