NOVEL NEXT chapter 183
[183] The sun rises over England (1)
「The Dignity of Kings」 After the movie crank out.
Solar members only focused on practicing for a solo concert.
And, the remaining time until concert ticketing is another 20 minutes.
“Wow, I’m nervous.”
“Ugh.”
Yeji held Eunseo’s hands tightly.
Since earlier, I had bitten her lip while shaking my hand.
“Everything will be alright.”
“Hmm.”
Currently, numerous stars have promoted Solar’s solo concert.
High End, Song Na-yeon, and Ueda Ai.
Even the rival Blue Scholz.
In addition, celebrities who have built friendships posted promotional messages on social media.
“Eunseo, are you okay? Are you nervous?”
“Yeah. Why is that?”
“You shake your hands when you’re nervous.”
“Ah, yes.”
Yeji confirmed her stage schedule received from her representative.
“Guys, did everyone check the order?”
“Oh, yes. I saw it before.”
Each member of Solar was scheduled to have a solo stage.
Besides that, I also sing songs from my 1st and 2nd regular albums and single albums.
“In the middle, the music video for the sound of the sky is also released.”
“That’s right. The guest stage was with Luna and Eclipse…”
“Joint stage with Beyonce.”
“…”
The guest is the queen of pop.
An overwhelming presence that no other artist in Korea can match.
When I think about it again, the resourcefulness and skills of the CEO were amazing.
“We have to practice hard.”
“Ah, actress Lee Soo-yeon looked after the MC this time too.”
“That’s right.”
She was also the one who looked after her MC at her first solo concert in Seoul.
“Let’s buy one of our presents.”
“I know.”
Soon, Yeji thought hard and opened her mouth.
“How about a teddy bear?”
“…”
Looking at the members’ expressions, I guess it’s not.
Joohee nodded and said.
“It was the year before last, the CEO’s birthday, her sister bought me a teddy bear.”
“That’s right!”
“It was in the storage room upstairs.”
“Ah, that’s too much!”
“Anyway.”
Joo-hee checked the time and continued.
“Now we have 10 minutes left.”
“Wow.”
Soon after, Somi shook her head and accessed the space app.
“Oh, I just can’t wait.”
“?”
The maknae who turns on the personal broadcast next to the older sisters.
Even today, Somi couldn’t stand her frustration.
“Everyone! Soha!”
The Solar members somehow showed their faces on the broadcast.
-Soha soha
-Oh, it’s a live broadcast.
– Somi Hi!
-Yeji unnie is pretty ㅠㅠ
– Waiting for ticketing
– Somi is so big ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
The chat window is going up like crazy today.
Somi laughed and opened her mouth.
“Everyone, I was so nervous yesterday that I couldn’t sleep.”
Because the CEO also allowed Somi to broadcast her privately.
Her members stood next to her and helped each other out.
“Anyone coming here to see a concert in the UK!?”
“Wow, so many!”
“Sunlight fans.”
“Lol.”
Somi stuck out her tongue and shyly confessed.
“Everyone, I love you.”
The explosive response seemed to explode the chat window.
After all, the ticketing time is approaching 1 minute ahead.
Sunlight fans started counting down in seconds in the chat window.
“No, isn’t the count from 60 too long?”
“Therefore.”
Numbers that keep filling up the chat window without paying attention.
Soon after, the seconds went down to single digits.
“Eh, the chat window is paralyzed.”
“What.”
“It suddenly broke.”
“?”
There were a total of three domestic ticketing affiliate sites.
Two internet shopping malls and a space app.
Among them, the latter was a ticket taken out for the fans.
“Space is jammed.”
“What is it?”
Space is an app used by most idol groups in Korea.
Of course, isn’t it an app that doesn’t budge at all with huge traffic?
“Could it be because of us?”
“Ah, no way.”
It was not exclusive to Solar, but it was an application developed by Friends, a dinosaur company.
Click, click-
Diana accessed another site on her laptop.
Ticketing was also possible at other internet shopping malls.
“All three of them can’t go in.”
“…”
The ticketing results could be confirmed through internet news.
* * *
《What is Solar’s global ticket power!? 90,000 standing seats sold out in just 3 minutes. Proving the influence of world stars…
“… It’s a three-minute cut.”
Was Solar’s influence this much?
Away from domestic fans, worldwide.
Messages of congratulations immediately poured into my smartphone.
Most of them were producers and writers who wanted to be hired.
“CEO!”
Team leader Koo didn’t even leave work, but spurred through the company door.
“All seats are sold out!”
“Yes. I checked.”
Ticket prices are not normal.
“It’s going to be hard to stop scalping, right?”
“Yes. I can’t control all 90,000 people…”
“It can’t be helped.”
After all, they are fans who want to pay a high price to see Solar.
“Anyway, now it’s just practice.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Clearly, there must be a side of Solar that fans are looking forward to.
Especially, her first overseas solo concert.
I had to show a good figure.
“CEO, would you decline the invitation to the Baeksang Arts Awards?”
“Oh, well.”
Maybe I won’t be able to go out once in a while.
“Don’t be too hard on your refusal, be polite. You know?”
“All right.”
“For the time being, the Solar members will just focus on practicing.”
“Yes. CEO.”
“Instead, Luna and Eclipse adjusted the amount of practice…”
After a light conversation, by the time I was about to leave work.
A series of chats came from Solar’s group chat room.
T-ring, T-ring—
Just in case, it’s still Somi.
[CEO, CEO, CEO, CEO]
[Jeong Soo Ho, Jung Soo Ho, Jung Soo Ho, Jung Soo Ho]
“What.”
I checked the message that kept ringing and called Somi.
“Hello. What are you doing now?”
-CEO, come down to the dorm today.
“Why all of a sudden.”
– Come down!
“Yes. I see.”
-Lol. See you a little later.
Did you call because you were happy that all seats were sold out?
I just couldn’t say congratulations.
My sisters would be by my side.
After a while,
As soon as I got off work, I knocked on the front door of Solar’s dorm.
“CEO’s grace is like the sky…!”
“…”
I just want to close the door
I’m embarrassed about this.
“The more I look up to you…?”
“Eh, are you crying?”
While I was lowering my head, Somi approached me.
“What, are you really crying?”
“No.”
“Wow! CEO is crying!!!!”
“Kyaaagh—!”
No, I bowed my head in embarrassment.
“Everyone! CEO is crying!”
“… Did you turn on the broadcast?”
“Ah, pretending not to cry because it’s our CEO’s broadcast!”
“I’m not crying.”
Somi Shin, see you after the concert.
“Okay, hurry up and go to sleep.”
“Not yet!”
Perhaps Jiyu bought it, they lighted the cake and celebrated lightly.
“I do everything.”
“Absolutely.”
I sat down at the table and looked around the Solar members slowly.
“Thank you for making my dream come true. Sincerely.”
“What is your dream?”
Eunseo and Joohee, who are the same age, have been fighting for the first time in a long time.
“What is it, a solo concert at Wembley Stadium?”
“It could be Beyonce’s guest invitation.”
“Ah, is that a dream?”
“So, CEO, what is your dream?”
“Neither one.”
“Of course?”
Buying a building in Gangnam and becoming a rich unemployed.
I think we will gather almost all of them with this concert.
“Guys.”
Yeji smiled and opened his mouth gracefully.
“The CEO’s dream is for us to become pop stars.”
“Great, too.”
“…”
Sorry. No.
“I guess the only real CEO knows us.”
“It would be sad to know Luna and Eclipse.”
“Then let’s keep it a secret.”
“Yes. Then.”
It was already late, so I read the members.
“I have to practice tomorrow too, hurry up and go to sleep.”
“Yes.”
In fact, when I first joined Dream Agency, I had a different dream.
From then on, if my dream was to be a building owner in Gangnam, then I would be a strange person.
‘The actor I played is…’
To grow into a world-class performer.
Of course, it was a wild dream back then.
“Yeji, Eunseo. Thank you.”
I thanked the two people who had already entered the room and left the dorm.
Thankfully, the two people who gave me their hearts.
I’m really sorry for either of you.
In fact, my heart was only going for one person.
Please don’t let our end be a tragedy.
It was just a heartfelt wish.

Tvm station.
My producer looked at a survey and smiled pleasantly.
Solar ranks second in domestic brand power.
Best location next to high end.
Is it a performance that a girl group that debuted a little over 2 years ago can achieve?
“Wow, the more I look at it, the more I can only admire it.”
The 3-minute ticketing cut is legendary.
My PD was only waiting for that day.
Solar’s solo concert, was able to be uploaded after that date.
Click, click-
The scene of the music video for “Sounds of the Sky” Being edited now.
“Peddy.”
At that time, the assistant director bought a sandwich and called himself.
“Jiseok-ah, what percentage of the latest episode are you?”
“…Do you want to ask again?”
“Tell me again.”
“I shot 38% for the Gyeongbokgung side.”
“Kiya.”
He still continued his high-altitude march.
Isn’t this a 40% shot?
Best career ever.
I don’t know how many weeks in a row Nexplex took first place in the most countries.
Since last year, Nexplex works have also been awarded at the Baeksang Arts Awards.
‘As entertainment…’
Wouldn’t it be possible to win the grand prize in the TV category?
It wasn’t an opportunity that came easily even for a star PD.
The moment I turned the happiness circuit.
“PD-nim, the representative called.”
“What representative?”
“CEO Jeong Soo-ho.”
“Oh, what phone is it?”
“Solar says she will not be participating in the Baeksang Arts Awards.”
“Ah.”
Did you really have to do that?
“Instead, Luna and Eclipse said they could attend.”
“Whoa, that’s fortunate.”
“Yes. I’m glad.”
Should we respect that meaning?
It must mean that Solar is preparing for this concert with all her heart.
“PD-nim, aren’t there any additional shoots for the arcade Universe?”
“That’s right. It’s over.”
“Then I’ll pass it on like that.”
“Hey, wait!”
“Yeah?”
It’s just a shame it ended like this again.
‘Cause it ain’t over ’til it’s over
“I’ll contact you.”
“Yes. PD.”
I ended all official filming overseas and domestically.
However, it was not only Tvm that was disappointing.
‘Even on the Nexplex side…’
It’s a look that wants you to keep it.
Unlike dramas, variety shows can be filmed as many times as they like.
If the main story doesn’t work, there’s an extra episode as a special episode.
‘If I take a picture of Solar’s Wembley Stadium concert.’
Can’t you edit it with entertainment?
Of course, I can’t include all the performances, but I will cut most of them.
There will be overflowing fans who can’t see the performance with the 3-minute ticketing cut.
Trururu—
My PD called Suho.
As always, it started with a light greeting.
“Hello. CEO, how have you been?”
-Of course.
“Not next…”
And, I immediately brought out the business.
With bait you can’t refuse.
* * *
Time passed,
Solar’s concert date is 10 days away.
Ahead of her flight to London, she had a meeting at the company.
“PD-nim, you will be chosen as the pillar of Tvm.”
“Ah, I’m not selected as much as first class. Nexplex is supporting the production cost…”
“No, not that.”
Where do you buy the medicine
“I heard you gave me a Lamborghani Urroukan as a gift.”
“Ah, it’s not a gift.”
“Of course.”
“We have to win the game.”
“What if I win a real game?”
“Then I must give it to you!”
“…”
Where does this confidence come from?
“You’re not intentionally trying to get it wrong, are you?”
“Ah, I’m not that kind of person.”
“Don’t cry later.”
“I’m not crying.”
Nexplex and Tvm strongly pushed for additional filming.
That’s right, it’s because I’ve peaked in viewer ratings and OTT results to finish it now.
‘It’s just like practicing…’
You can go out
Originally, I only intended to practice, but it was reversed.
A tingling sensation slowly crept into the back of his head.
“Anyway, the final version needs to be reviewed by Show England.”
“Yes. I heard.”
“The stage footage will only last up to five seconds.”
“Yes. I see. hahahaha.”
.
.
.
.
.
Soon after, we arrived at London Airport as scheduled.
Leaving Luna and Eclipse behind.
Only Solar members and some company employees moved.
“Waaagh—!!!”
“Solar! Sola! Sola! Sola!”
“Sola Ah—!!”
I never thought I could experience airport culture like this in Europe.
British fans greeted us with great cheers.
“Hello.”
“Oh, hello.”
Showing England staff greeting me, Director Daniel.
I was really happy to see his face.
In the meantime, we always exchanged contracts over the phone.
“I’ll take you this way.”
“Ah, yes.”
Solar members waving to fans with wide smiles.
I packed them up and got into the van with Director Daniel.
“I have a separate accommodation and practice room in London.”
“Thank you.”
“Do you think you need more?”
“Can I see Wembley Stadium right away?”
“Yes. As much as you want.”
After taking the members and unpacking at the dorm, I took a taxi and headed there.
Originally a football stadium with 90,000 seats.
It was the dream stage where the Beatles and Queen stood.
‘A week from here…’
Solar has to stand on the stage of a solo concert in front of 90,000 spectators.
I slowly looked around the lighting and sound equipment that had not yet been installed.
Because there might be something stuck in the back of the head.
By the time I was looking at the stage, equipment, and props for a while.
“Hello.”
At that time, the stage manager heard about me and came out to meet me.
I heard that this floor has the best skills, so I expected a lot.
‘… The stage wasn’t the problem.’
He stared at him and scratched the itchy back of his head.
This time it’s not a reverse double angle, but a regular double angle.
He was the one who would ruin Solar’s stage.
Within a week, we had to find a new stage manager.
“It’s a soccer field.”
I’ll just write a red card.
