chapter 184
[184] The sun rises over England (2)
A practice room located in London, England.
I watched the members practice and waited for someone.
Soon, team leader Koo approached me with a bundle of papers.
“CEO.”
“Thanks for your efforts.”
“No.”
We couldn’t bring in a new stage manager from the outside with only a week left.
One of the existing staff members should be promoted as director.
First of all, I was thinking of meeting after looking at the profile.
“Are you replacing manager Hamilton?”
“Yes. I can’t help it.”
“Show England is very concerned about the change of stage manager a week ahead.”
“It’s okay.”
Exactly, if you don’t change it, it’s not okay.
That’s why the back of my head is now.
“I don’t have time, so I’ll set up a meeting today.”
“As expected, the CEO…!”
“I’m in a hurry to meet the rehearsal time.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Because it’s a one-tool for the back of the head.
It didn’t take much time to evaluate people.
If I want to look bad and the back of my head itches.
‘… Reverse double angle.’
A 7th year employee of the production team with only a few lines of filmography.
Looking at him, I smiled at the thrill.
“There was a hidden gem in the directing team.”
“Louis, you’re a 7th year employee.”
“Yes. Please schedule a meeting.”
“All right.”
The problem was with other people.
Hamilton wasn’t the only problem.
Regular angle, not inverse angle.
In addition to the performance director, several staff members were caught.
Aside from their skills, I wonder if they have some kind of problem.
“We’ll also exclude these three people. We’ll put in other staff.”
“Yes. CEO”
He quickly resolved the director’s problem and went on stage.
After all, what matters is a successful concert.
Eliminate the problem, carry the reverse.
Indeed, with a 100% chance of success, there was nothing to block if there was only the back of the head.
“Ah, chief.”
I caught the old team leader who was trying to get away.
“When will the guest artists arrive?”
“It will arrive sometime this evening.”
“With the arcade universe crew?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“It’s good.”
PD Na Hyun-seok, what else are you planning to shoot in England?
If you want to buy a Lamborghani Thundercan, you’ll have to pull out the pillars.
“CEO!”
At that time, Yeji approached me just in time for a break.
“Do you go back to Korea right after our performance?”
“I also do some arcade filming.”
“Oh, I must go shopping and sightseeing in England.”
“Is it.”
I’m going to go back after filming in the arcade for a few days.
Somi suddenly intervened in the conversation.
“No! Give us freedom!”
“Is it Icarus?”
“It’s similar.”
“I had a good idea.”
“What is it?”
The production team of the arcade is also coming tonight.
You will definitely play the game with that personality.
“I’ll give you more free time if you ride the Lamborghani Thunder.”
“How do you ride that?”
“Well, maybe it’s a quiz.”
“Okay. Ride a sports car, have some free time, and have fun.”
“Somi, what’s the point of being a girl group?”
“Dogs gain!”
“No, take the dog out.”
“It’s cheap!”
“…”
When I go back to Korea, I will have to do a bungee jump in entertainment.
“Anyway, if I make a mistake at the concert, I have no free time this year.”
“I’m not mistaken!”
“You have a good posture.”
You’ll memorize it all, so you won’t make a mistake.
If you don’t panic.
“Come on, let’s start practicing again!”
Under Kim Lida’s direction, the members started practicing again.
One of the best live performance among Korean singers.
The upcoming rehearsal stage has been awaited.
* * *
Meanwhile, Shaw England headquarters.
Director Daniel checked the profile of the new manager.
Under the contract, the customer is free to change the stage staff at will.
In fact, it was the first person to change it with a week left.
‘Director Louie…’
I didn’t care much because I was an outsourced employee.
“Director Louie was from the Kevin Club directing team?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
The club where the Beatles performed.
Usually, those from the club do not write down their careers in their filmography.
To hold the name of the member who passed away in my heart.
‘But the important thing is…’
How did Jeong Su-ho know the history that was not even in his profile?
Wouldn’t they have investigated the backs of the staff one by one?
“Hey, Director Daniel.”
Soon, another subordinate came and handed over the documents.
“Director Hamilton has run away.”
“What?”
“The released staff also disappeared.”
“…”
The director and staff in charge of directing the solar performance.
I handed over their accounts and continued the conversation.
“There’s a lot of money in the accounts of three of our employees, including director Hamilton.”
“The amount is staggering.”
“Something is strange.”
“…”
As strange as they are, CEO Jung Soo-ho.
How did he know in advance and shoot it?
‘The reason I got the back money is…’
I don’t want to imagine, but if it’s to ruin the solar stage.
CEO Jeong found out about their collusion before he did.
‘… I owe it.’
It also owed a lot.
It didn’t matter how he figured out the truth.
The incident had already happened, and the cause had to be identified.
“We’re going to keep track of accounts, and we’re still trying to find out who the fugitives are.”
“All right.”
Suddenly, I remembered the interview video that CEO Jung uploaded a while ago.
– Refrain from a clean performance culture.
Now that I look at it, it was a pretty significant statement.
In what sense did you do such an interview?
Daniel scanned the list of directors and staff who had run away with a keen eye.
Even, this show had something to do with Beyonce.
Is there anyone in the world who can win a lawsuit against WAA?
‘CEO Jung, I don’t have any intention of raising the problem.’
CEO Jung Soo-ho doesn’t even mention the corruption of the staff who received a lot of back money.
If it exploded in the media, the blow to Show England would have been tough.
‘Because I think this performance is important…’
If you wanted to compensate with money, you would have shown it.
So, I had no choice but to think of another way.
I learned from my father that nothing comes for free in business relationships.
‘At least…’
I have to give up the money from this concert.
Trururu—
Daniel bypassed the representative of Show England and called the president directly.
The owner of five performance planning companies alone.
When the other person answered the phone, he opened his mouth with difficulty.
“Father.”
-What, I’m busy playing golf.
“…”
Now is not the time to play golf.

Solo Concert D-2
The new stage manager, Louie, has prepared a rehearsal performance.
Currently, he is given an incredible opportunity in his career.
Although he did not speak to the existing director.
There was a lot of dissatisfaction in the stage direction part.
[‘Unconditionally succeed.’
He thought it was his life’s work and prepared for the performance.
For the past few days, I have been preparing for the performance by not sleeping.
“The representative is here.”
“Ah.”
Jung Soo-ho, who blew away the stage director and the trio of evildoers.
Even during the pre-meeting, he selected himself without any evaluation.
He just wanted to thank him for giving him a great opportunity.
“Hello.”
Louis 31 approached cautiously and greeted him.
“CEO, are you here?”
“Ah, Director Louie. The members are ready.”
“Yes, I see.”
CEO Jeong nodded with a soft smile.
Is it the person who fired the director with a single knife?
“Please take good care of our children’s stage.”
“Yes, don’t worry.”
“I am then.”
Solar’s father is really serious about Solar’s stage.
‘I trusted only myself and entrusted Solar.’
Feelings of pride and responsibility bloomed on Louie’s face at the same time.
Together with the assistant director, he checked the stage equipment and checked the lighting and sound.
“Coach, the preparations are complete.’
“Then let’s begin.”
Soon after, Solar members started the opening stage.
Although it was a rehearsal, we sang live as if it were a real performance.
‘Only look at me.’
The stage that caused a sensation at this year’s Grammy Awards.
At that time, it vomited up the spirit of climbing the Billboard chart.
After all, there are many famous songs.
They tore the stage from the first song.
‘Looking at the outfit…’
Yeji wore the jacket she wore in episodes 3 and 4 of Solar Beam, and she wore accessories at the AMA.
Somi has been insisting on that hair since episode 2 of the domestic arcade arcade, and her dress-up…
Swoop, swoosh-
At that time, the assistant director who was watching the memo from the side opened his mouth.
“Go, Director. Do you remember all of that?”
“Isn’t that obvious?”
“…”
Another angle, another angle—
After his first performance, the MC went on stage with a cue sheet.
-Hello. I am Suyeon Lee, the MC of today’s Solar in England performance.
Like a Korean actor, his diction was amazing.
He didn’t have any awkwardness with his English pronunciation.
‘Top Idol and solo concert in Seoul…’
A person I am grateful for who has always been in charge of Solar’s dedicated MC.
“Assistant Director.”
“Yes, Director.”
“Soo-yeon is thirsty now, take care of it.”
“Yeah?”
When Top Idol made a gesture like that, he always drank water.
For a while, he hosted Solar’s stage.
Then, the biggest hit song of Solar’s career.
He arranged a rock version of “Save The Earth”.
It was the second arrangement after the Grammy Awards stage.
‘I have to wipe my ears before listening to this.’
How else do you know that Brits are serious about rock?
Are you purifying your ears with such a refreshing vocal?
“Keuuu, as expected, Dohana’s producer is…”
“It’s invincible!”
“What is that.”
“It means roughly good.”
“Speak in English.”
“Yep.”
Today’s highlight performance follows.
「Heavenly Sound」
Since it’s a rehearsal, I lightly skipped the music video,
Yeji filled the stadium with crazy performance.
A group song featuring Luna and Eclipse.
And, finally, her turn came.
A musician called the Queen of Pop in the homeland of pop.
Beyonce appeared with Mamaz backup.
Her dancing and singing skills.
Aren’t they both top-notch artists around the world?
Solar members performed right next to me.
“Our Solanges won’t be pushed!”
“Solang…?”
“Oh, hmmm. No.”
After all, Solar is world class.
To be honest, I couldn’t see Solar’s stage with objective eyes.
It’s because Solar’s charm has already fallen too deeply for that.
‘Our Solanges…!’
The silver necklace around Director Louis’ neck glistened in the light.
A necklace of goods that can be purchased 2 years after joining the Sunlight fan club.
Coach Louis, only 31 years old.
He was a virtue among virtues, a good virtue.
* * *
The members finished their rehearsal performance.
I returned to the dorm two days before the main stage.
Today, without fail, the game king is waiting for us.
“I PD-nim, I’m taking a break today.”
“Is that so, then?”
Leaving the members behind, I had a light beer time with the staff.
Company employees and arcade production crew.
Now, they were pretty close.
“I, PD, then tell me now.”
“Yeah?”
“How to ride a Lamborghani.”
“Aha.”
He grinned and explained the plan.
The finale stage, paper airplanes blown by the audience.
It was originally one of the schedules for this solo concert.
“So, pick one of them up…”
“You just have to pre-orient what the audience will say.”
“… Just say no.”
“If the mission is successful, it will be given to you?”
“…”
The number of spectators is 90,000, so how do you guess that?
Each of them should write what they want to say to Solar on a piece of paper.
“Probably a lot of blank maps.”
“Then you can expect it to be blank.”
“…”
It’s no longer
“Anyway, after the concert, I skipped the shooting day.”
“Oh, that’s nice.”
“Please promote the movie.”
“Ah, the dignity of a king.”
“Yes. Director Kim contacted me.”
“Okay. hahahaha.”
After the concert, you should start promoting the movie in Korea.
I heard that Royal Dignity has secured theaters in France and the United States.
‘Competition works…’
Starring actress Gye Hee-yeon.
“The First Apocalypse” Has already started publicity.
Blockbusters with release dates overlapping by a week.
We’ll see who will laugh.
“Brother aaa!!!”
At that time, Umji Yu approached me screaming.
He disappeared in the middle of rehearsal today, so I wondered where he went.
“Where are you now…”
“Brother, is that true?”
“What.”
Jiyu showed me a news article and continued her words.
“This, my brother said.”
《Solar’s solo concert is a charity event!? All proceeds will be donated…
Even watching the news, I was dumbfounded.
‘Some crazy guy is fake news…’
What kind of businessman plans a performance while seeing a deficit.
The staff, the rental fee, and the cost of preparing for the performance.
How much money did it cost
Are you willing to donate all your profits?
“Never mind this, it’s fake news…”
Following Uhm Ji-yu, team leader Koo came in and called me.
“CEO.”
All of my producers were already taking pictures of me with their cameras.
“Show England has contacted you.”
“I beg your pardon.”
“I said that I would donate the proceeds from the concert in the name of the CEO and Solar members.”
“…”
So why
“Then you’re only donating Show England’s profits.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Then it wasn’t fake news.
“Hey, are you also donating to our Sky Enter?”
“No.”
“If you are willing to give up your dreams because of our staff…”
“What are you talking about?”
My dream is to earn money and buy a building in Gangnam.
I’m not going to donate, so please put the camera away.
