A Musical Genius in The Corner of The Room - Chapter 140
Only Ranovel
EP 16 – Oh That’s Right, It’s Surprising But It’s True (8)
“You had a hard time filming today.”
“No, you really had a hard time.”
“Yeah, and that crying video. They tell me to erase it. Erase it, erase it absolutely. “Or I’ll kill you.”
Yuara clenched her fist at me, covering her red eyes with sunglasses from how much she had cried.
I screamed internally at that sight.
Sigh, I’m so embarrassed!!!
What did I say? Forget it from your memory! Yeah, it’s all because of the atmosphere. It’s not me that’s bad, it’s the atmosphere. That bastard made me soft and moist.
“Okay, I’ll definitely tell you to delete it.”
“Okay, we didn’t film the second half of the episode.”
“That’s right, it definitely didn’t happen.”
I definitely have to contact the production team and ask them to edit the second half of the film.
While consolidating my resolve, I had a few words with Yuara, and as she was about to leave the studio, she spoke as if something had occurred to her.
“Oh, right. “I will contact you when the next schedule is decided.”
“What’s next?”
“Don’t you remember that you agreed to appear on my YouTube channel too?”
Oh, that’s right.
It was like that.
I was thinking about how I couldn’t eat it raw, but couldn’t think of a way, so I nodded.
My younger brother left the studio with a satisfied expression on his face.
Left alone, I sat down on the sofa and spread out.
Oh, it’s hard.
When I think about it, I was just sitting in the studio and chatting with my younger brother, and I was very tired. Is chatting really this tiring?
You must have never chatted for this long in your life.
Or is it because the person you were chatting with is your younger brother?
While I was seriously thinking about what was what, my phone rang.
Hearing that sound, I reached out my hand and checked my cell phone, and there was CEO Zion’s name written on it.
“Yes, CEO.”
-Sseu-eup, I told you to call me hyung.
Do you have no conscience? What is the age difference between me and the CEO? He looks like his older brother, Ho-Seo-In. CEO, I’m sure he’s going to go somewhere and say MZ.
“I’ll think about it carefully.”
-Yes, yes. Did you film better than that?
“Yes, I just finished.”
-Thank you for your hard work. But then, can we talk for a moment?
“Yeah, whatever. “What’s going on?”
Is it because of the new schedule?
-It’s not that big of a deal. Now, if you have time, I’d like you to solve the problem of Im Dan-ah. Even though I didn’t have a contract, I kept coming to the company to practice, so it was a bit weird.
“ah.”
He looked like he had forgotten what the CEO said.
That’s right, there was Im Dan-ah. Her face was revealed immediately after filming the audition, and I completely forgot about it as I was preparing for filming the party cone right after.
“sorry.”
-What do you want to do?
“Hmm.”
First of all, Lim Dan-ah was rejected from the audition program run by Jusi Entertainment.
There are many reasons why he was rejected, but the biggest reason is that his voice is too loud and does not fit into the ‘group’.
However, I felt that it would be a waste to drop Lim Dan-ah like this, so I suggested it to the CEO. They asked me to skip the audition and work with me separately.
When I said I wanted to work together, the CEO thought about it and then agreed. For that purpose, I am taking care of Im Dan-ah.
However, the company cannot take care of someone who has not signed a contract forever.
At those words, I hurriedly spoke to the CEO.
“I’ll go to work tomorrow.”
-Do you want to?
“yes.”
After all, there are songs I made while thinking of Im Dan-ah. You could take it and test it lightly.
If it doesn’t fit, you can consult with the representative and decide what to do.
If it is correct, the chances of signing a contract as an artist are quite high.
And if my ears are correct, Lim Dan-ah will sign a contract with our company as the second artist (since the CEO did not sign a contract as an artist).
-Then come to the office tomorrow.
“yes.”
After answering, I hung up the call and was about to get some sleep, when my cell phone rang. When I heard that sound, I checked my phone again and saw that it was a KakaoTalk message sent by my last name.
[last name]
ruler?
… … How do you know how to send it?
Surely they didn’t have CCTV installed in the studio or something like that?
I looked around the studio like an idiot and sent a reply to my last name.
-No, I’m going to sleep now. you?
[last name]
I’m getting in the car and heading to my next schedule.
I scratch my head at the many emotions I feel from ‘ㅋ’.
Currently, Akies is very, very, very busy. I’m so busy that I can’t even make a KakaoTalk call, let alone make a phone call.
If you search for Akeys on the Internet and then refresh, new news about Akeys will appear. Akies’ face appears on YouTube, TV, and other programs whenever possible.
As such, the song is also extremely popular.
Akies’ ‘new songs’ are ranked high not only on Korea’s largest 3rd hour music chart, but also on Spoiler, the world’s largest streaming site.
Here, ‘new songs’ refers to the three main title songs and a song I wrote. I thought that the three main title songs would bomb the charts.
I had no idea that the song I wrote would rank high on the charts.
Anyway, with their songs doing so well, Akies is really busy.
That’s not the end of it. From what I heard, the global version that was released with the goal of going global was also doing well and climbed up to the Billboard charts, so they’re currently active between Korea and the United States.
It will probably take a while to see the face.
-Are you busy?
[last name]
I’m used to being busy.
There is something I want to ask more than that.
-What?
[last name]
Do you know the program called Let’s Go, Music Journey?
Let’s go on a musical journey?
If that’s the case, that’s it. One of those travel programs that suddenly started popping up all of a sudden.
However, what is different from other travel programs is that ‘Let’s Go, Music Travel’ is not just about traveling, but is a program about traveling with the theme of music.
Moreover, even if it is a travel program, the main focus is music.
So traveling to make music doesn’t mean going to remote areas or going to other countries. It means you can go anywhere as long as you can make music.
In fact, one of the performers even went all the way to the United States and stayed in a hotel to make music.
So, of course, there are many performers who only go on vacations, and since it is a program to make music, they do not go with VJs or PDs and film alone with self-cameras.
In the case of PD, they travel together to the site, but it is said that they only install cameras on site or only provide consultation.
Because of that, I hear people asking what the difference is from YouTube vlogs. Still, since it is an easy concept, the viewership ratings are quite good thanks to the appearance of many top celebrities who do not appear on entertainment shows.
-know
[last name]
I’m appearing there next week.
Do you want to come with me?
My eyes widen in surprise at the KakaoTalk message sent by my last name. Let’s appear together on a program called ‘Let’s go on a musical journey’?
Does that mean we should go on a trip together?
[last name]
Just you and I are going to go without anyone else, and instead of going to a crowded place, we’re going to a place like a pool villa pension. They said all we had to do was hang out there, eat together, and show them how we make songs. The filming will be done with the camera installed at the pension and my self-camera. Oh, our members will also see each other before that, but we won’t be moving together, so don’t worry.
Perhaps because he thought I was worried when I didn’t reply, he quickly sent me a long KakaoTalk message.
I smile while looking at that KakaoTalk message.
If it were any other program, I would probably reject it.
Let’s go on a musical journey. Even if it is a photo shoot with the last name on the screen. There’s really no need to refuse.
Not only are there no VJs or other performers coming, but it is an opportunity to go on a trip with your last name proudly.
Rather, I am in a situation where I would like to ask a favor.
-good.
What do we do?
I’m already starting to look forward to it.
* * *
“Are you here?”
When I go to the office, I blink at the sight of CEO Sion who welcomes me.
Does our CEO have no schedule? Why do you always welcome me when I come to work? Well, I heard you were so busy that you postponed your album.
Is it okay for someone like that to be like this?
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“No, the CEO just wants to stay at the company all the time.”
“I can’t help it because of the audition program. Every day is a meeting. “I just had a meeting.”
“Why are there so many meetings?”
“This is because the final member will debut immediately after practicing. “We have no choice but to be cautious.”
I nod my head at the CEO’s words.
The audition program we are currently running is not just an audition program that accepts trainees.
In effect, it is a ‘debut project’ program in which the members who passed the final round are combined with existing trainees to debut as an idol group called Jusi-Up.
For reference, in the case of their debut song, they will use the song I gave them.
It’s not a waste of time, but these are songs that almost ended up in the freezer folder, and I’m wondering if they’ll be okay, but since the CEO says they’re good, I’m not going to say anything.
“More than that, you did a pretty good job filming with Yoo Ah-ra, didn’t you?”
“is it so?”
“Yes, the planning team really liked the chemistry between the siblings, the laughter, and the emotion. However, I heard that the episode is so long that Hosipik is to die for.”
“I need to buy you something to eat later.”
Hosipick is a fundamental member (fixed member) who has helped me for a very long time, so I need to take good care of him. It is not easy to find someone with that level of editing skills.
“don’t worry. “Because they are paying a generous salary.”
“If that’s the case.”
“by the way. “Are you testing Lim Dan today?”
“That’s it until the test. I’m not an employee or director here. “We just work together if the song is good.”
So, at first, I was planning to call the company later when I had time. Since Lim Dan-ah’s situation was not good and her hometown is Busan, I decided to practice at the company instead of paying for her room and board with my own money.
“Well, I heard you had great potential.”
“It’s not that bad. And don’t you trust me too much?”
“of course. How much did you do for me? I am the kind of person who would trust you even if you told me to make meju with red beans. Oh, rather than this, should I at least give you a moving position? “If the company goes public, will you give me shares?”
… … I’m moving.
I thought about it in my head and then shook my head. Wow, it really doesn’t suit me. What kind of director am I? I am now in a position to move out of my house.
“I just like to sing.”
“Kabi, you could have signed a permanent contract using the excuse of being a director.”
I laugh at the CEO’s sincerely sad look, and then ask the CEO.
“So where is Im Dan-ah?”
“Practice room on the third floor.”
“Then let’s go there.”
The CEO nodded at my words and headed to the practice room on the 3rd floor with me.
Unlike the large practice room in the basement, the practice room on the third floor was a small space that could be used by one or two people.
“That’s the third practice room over there.”
“Is there anyone in the other practice room?”
“Freedom and training. Plus Jung Woo-yeon.”
I nod to the names of the trainees who were selected by our company first, and who will later debut through a group called Jussi-Up, rather than those who are auditioning.
“By the way, everyone wants to see your face.”
“yes? why?”
“Why, it’s because he’s the best artist in our company. In the case of Jayu and Jung Woo-yeon, it’s like they came in because of you.”
“What about that person who is said to be a practitioner?”
If I remember correctly, Su-ryeon was the person who competed against Jung Woo-yeon in the audition program and was eliminated.
The CEO spoke with a smile on my face.
“She fell because of you, so there’s no way she’ll like it.”
“That’s true too.”
Even if it were me, I don’t think he would like me.
As we moved around while chatting with the CEO, we arrived at the practice room where Danah Lim was practicing.
“wait a minute.”
After briefly stopping the CEO from knocking on the practice room door, I take a deep breath. In the case of meeting someone you are not close with, you still need to prepare your heart.
In addition, in the case of Im Dan-ah, she stole bread from me.
After taking a deep breath to prepare my mind, I nod towards the CEO. The CEO saw me like that and knocked on the practice room door.
-yes!
I opened the door when I heard a voice coming from inside.
“Uh, the representative… … .”
Lim Dan-ah, who must have been practicing or was straightening her sweaty hair, looked at me with a surprised expression. At one point, when I saw Iljin stealing bread from me in exchange for a song, I took a deep breath and said,
“Oh, hello.”
“iced coffee. yes yes. Well, over there. hello.”
I don’t know if she recognized me or if it was just because I was famous, but Lim Dan-ah lowered her head with a very uncomfortable expression.
Unlike her first appearance, when she confidently asked for bread from me, Im Dan-ah seemed very uncomfortable with me. I spoke to Im Dan-ah in my own way, feeling uncomfortable.
“Hey, you know there’s a test today, right?”
“Yes, I heard it from the CEO.”
“Then, could you please call me?”
“Yes, yes. “Can I sing any song over there?”
“yes.”
After nodding, Danah Lim began preparing to sing.
I sit down on a nearby chair as I see Dan-ah Lim preparing to sing with her back straight, unlike her hesitant attitude just now.
Immediately after completing all preparations, Im Dan-ah took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
-You always.
started singing.
A bouncy voice that is bound to greatly divide likes and dislikes. He frowns as he listens to the song sung in that voice.
“Hmm, it’s still ambiguous, isn’t it?”
The CEO whispered to me that song. And I also nod my head at those words.
As the CEO said, Lim Dan-ah’s song was very ambiguous.
A style where the song and voice play separately.
I felt it last time too, but do you like that kind of song? While thinking about the song selection that did not bring out any of the strengths of her own voice, she spoke to Lim Dan-ah.
“Hey, there’s a new song I made. Would you like to listen to it and sing it?”
“yes?”
“I think that song will suit Lim Dan-ah very well.”
“yes yes! “I will!”
Lim Dan-ah answered my words without even thinking.
Seeing that, I told the CEO and connected my cell phone to the laptop in the practice room.
He took out a song from the ‘Shinseonkan’ folder and played it to me.
“oh? “This is good.”
Because I not only composed and arranged the music, but also recorded the guide, a nice song came out of the speakers connected to the laptop.
The CEO who heard the song looked at me with an expression of admiration.
What is that greedy expression?
CEO, just eat the songs in the freezer.
“Can you do it?”
When the song, which lasted less than 3 minutes, ended, I asked Lim Dan-ah.
Then Lim Dan-ah nodded several times and said.
“Yes, I will try.”
“great.”
Immediately following Lim Dan-ah’s words, a version without vocals is played.
Lim Dan-ah nodded, matching the rhythm with her toes to the moist dawn-like melody that flowed from the speakers.
-The welcoming morning air.
started singing.
“Oh, what?”
The CEO opened his eyes wide and let out an exclamation at the song I made, sung by Danah Lim.
