Debut or Die - Chapter 10

If I can’t debut, I’ll get sick to death. Throughout the first filming of episode 010,

I didn’t even dare to mention last season, but I never dreamed that it would happen here.

The comment window is also ‘??!?’ covered with something like Youngrin naturally continued without a change in expression.

[In order to prevent the same disaster, all the production crew will give all decision-making rights to the shareholders from now on!] The

lights on the stage turn on one by one intensely according to Youngrin’s words.

[member? Shareholders please choose!]

[Demand for personnel? Shareholders decide!]

[Would you like to be a team like this? Shareholders please tie it up!]

[Or… … ]

The lights started flickering like a stage effect.

[You don’t want that team member to look young? Then release it!]

-Did the production team go around?

One relevant comment caught my eye.

Even in the midst of this, Youngrin is seriously delivering her closing remarks under the flashing lights.

[Our company’s life and death depend on our shareholders!]

[< Idol Co., Ltd. > is now re-listed and launched!]

The camera turns up.

Lights sparkling like the Milky Way waved over the stage resembling a giant star.

Then, I saw the backs of ten people standing in the middle of the stage illuminated by the lights. They are Platinum level participants.

The camera panned up and down to zoom in on the participants. Because the stage was so gigantic, the entire body of the ten people seemed to be full.

As soon as the camera stopped, the prelude played.

The camera caught the action as the participants turned around one by one.

It was a solo part, which was a benefit of the platinum level, but honestly, it was subtle because the two of them couldn’t receive even a second.

‘I’d rather pick a center like the original.’

As I watched my cuts pass by, I felt a strange feeling.

The movement I did was correct, but it was unfamiliar because it was Park Moon-dae’s face.

‘Hmm, that seems to make my limbs shrink less.’

After the prelude and the song started playing, a gold rating appeared around the platinum rating. It looked natural thanks to the power of editing.

By the time we entered the pre-chorus, the lights had changed and Silver ranks appeared on both sides, and Bronze ranks appeared from the back at the beginning of the chorus.

and group chorus.

“oh.”

It was plausible. Thanks to the ghostly cut out moments that didn’t match the choreography, the movements seemed to be in perfect order.

The comment section also showed a rare favorable response. Although most of the reactions were embarrassed that he was favorable.

– Why do you like the song?

-It’s a mangjusa, but the theme song is always a new song.

– The song is worth it. I’ll give you another stone.

Of course, I didn’t forget to evaluate the contestants every time a close-up went in.

-Your skin is young… … It’s a bit uncomfortable to watch ㅠㅠ

-The guy who just hit his own throat was funny.

Has

anyone seen it

?

haha This bastard is really

└ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Of course, there were moments of admiration.

-Wow, you are just handsome.

– Why did you come here?

– How did you get hired?

-If I looked like that, I wouldn’t come out here.

Roughly… … It was the reaction that came out when participants with appearance stats of B or higher were close-up.

Oh, I just passed the close-up of Seon Ah-hyun. As expected, the side with the best face will hold the camera.

… for a moment.

I compared the reactions of close-up participants and comment windows.

“… … Did you make a mistake?”

It’s difficult if it’s too different from the initial buzz.

‘Should I have made an A from the appearance first of all, singing, dancing, and nabbing?’

If he had a high-quality appearance, even if he was caught just one close-up on the stage of the theme song, it would have become a hot topic.

Even if there were only a few home runners watching, the photos would have been taken at a production presentation or something, and they would have been posted on social media.

If you solidify your fan base here, there is a high probability that you could have avoided the initial dropout.

Then, since there is a status window for skills, shouldn’t it be okay to show them as a growth type?

Considering that this season was ridiculed at first, but then skyrocketed after airing, I put this strategy aside… … I overlooked that ridicule is also an interest.

I looked at the stage screen again, feeling my heart grow cold.

It was an ending at some point.

Even at the ending, a few close-ups passed by.

The most notable is child actor Lee Se-jin. I felt the will of the production team to raise the topic before airing somehow by holding it with great effort for a few seconds.

Now that I think about it, the majority of debutants I know had a B- or higher when they matched their faces on set.

I would be in trouble if editing focused only on contestants with high appearance stats.

Park Moon-dae also had a decent appearance, but he wasn’t a striking handsome man.

I lost my confidence and was about to review my strategy when the screen suddenly changed. It was an interim advertisement.

But a familiar voice was heard.

[< Idol Co., Ltd. > re-listed!]

The first advertisement is coming out here?

To say the least, more than a week had passed since the filming, so I thought I had enough time to edit that much.

I focused on advertising because I was wondering if there was any hint on the direction of editing.

[I hope a lot of good friends come out.]

[I have high expectations.]

[No (beep–) too? The participants must be very nervous this time.]

It was a cut where the judges were laughing and talking. It seems that all the words that appear in the trailer are being said.

And the stages of the praised participants appeared briefly and briefly.

[It’s just a really great stage… … .]

[This is innate.]

[Wow!]

[Where did you come from until now?]

Oh, my ranking has also passed. This alleviated my worries about compilation. Then my shoulders went down a bit.

I think I overreacted because it was my first mass media exposure.

Even though it’s a battle for preemption in the early stages, usually the table is formed until the 4th episode, so don’t be impatient and calmly supplement your strategy.

Unlike me who regained peace in my heart, immediately after the scene, the judges with hard expressions hurled vicious words without warning.

[Now this is… You can’t even call it a stage.]

[You know that’s an excuse, right?]

[I think it was just a lack of preparation.]

[Aren’t you embarrassed?]

And the contestants’ hard expressions and lip-biting expressions overlapped.

… Looking at the background, it seems that he even used the expression he made because he was having a hard time just practicing.

Eventually, cuts that were edited like an unexpected situation came out.

[(Beep–) Mr? (Beep–) Mr. Wait a minute… !]

[(Participant suddenly avoids the seat.)]

A close-up of the crying child actor Lee Se-jin appeared.

[(The whole story?)]

Then the screen went dark and the Idol Corporation logo appeared magnificently.

At the climax of the altered theme song, the logo suddenly went out and the MC’s voice was heard.

[Re-listing of the newer Idol Co., Ltd.! The first gateway… (Beep-) Evaluation!!]

[Ugh!]

The trailer ended with the contestants covering their mouths in amazement.

“… … .”

When I lowered my head, the comment window was constantly going up.

It was worth it.

That evening, the internet entertainment news comment window was turned upside down.

* * *

I accessed the portal site after finishing my workout and warming up my dinner.

First of all, the headlines of the articles exposed on the main page were like this.

[< Idol Co., Ltd. >, which was a major sin against ‘shareholders’, is a new item? ‘Male Idol’]

[Unveiled < Re-listing! Idol Co. > ‘Shining Star’ premiere!]

[‘Please invest in me, shareholders!’ The stage of 77 contestants in the new season of 〈Idol Co., Ltd.〉.]

Just looking at the title, it was moderately neutral, but if you click on the article and see the reaction, you can know the public opinion.

Celebrity news comments have been blocked for quite some time, and if you look at the emotional expression emoticons that are exposed… … .

‘It’s absurd’ has exceeded 12,000. Since there was no ‘I’m angry’, it’s clear that he pressed this instead, so it roughly meant that public opinion was going crazy.

Columns also poured out.

[Idol Co., Ltd.’s vulgarity in the name of freedom.]

[‘Please buy me!’ Children who became staples.]

Let’s click on one.

[It’s not even ‘please pick me up’ anymore. Participants are no longer treated humanely in a program that calls out to buy your idol stock. Sadistic handing over the right to life and death to the public… … .]

Hmm, I guess I won’t have to look further.

Most of the articles cursing the program were also found in internet communities and social media.

– These bastards have no real reflection.

-Since the first season, he has put in everything and sells his stocks and sold his voting rights, and he didn’t die and came back again. Does the money you make from selling your kids taste so good?

It’s not because the participants are swearing.

The downfall of season 2 was that the content, the popular contestant, was ruined.

However, this season, that image was suppressed due to the sadism of the program that the production team turned off aggro.

Regardless of whether the composition of the program was blatantly brutal or a little brash, survival programs were all the same.

I didn’t know if it would be better for the participants to catch the topic.

Thanks to the popularity of the program, articles like this are also being posted.

———==

[Azusa 3 Platinum rating summary.]

: Capture the music night stage. I did it because I feel sorry for talented kids coming out to places like this. Please refrain from swearing comments.

———==

There were mostly reaction comments with participants who were handsome or had good expressions, but I also noticed several mentions of Park Moon-dae, which made me feel good. it got weird

It was mainly about being cute or a popular prize these days.

-Park Moon-dae is cute, so I turned the stage once, but the camera didn’t catch it very well.

“… … .”

I felt strange. It was the first time in my life that I saw someone openly expressing interest in me.

I felt it while selling data when I was in college, but it was amazing how you can invest time and money just because you like someone you don’t know well.

I don’t know if it’s because I live a life without time or money.

But when I became the party, it felt even more strange.

But it wasn’t a bad feeling.

‘… What else should I do next?’

I suddenly wanted to move.

After comprehensively reviewing the participant responses, I organized the priority order of stat distribution in the future.

It was then.

[Start of fame!]

: General Attribute Draw ☜ Click!

This is also a notification.

I read the contents of the pop-up again. The ‘drawing’ below had a similar feeling to what was in the pop-up related to the stage last time.

Let’s click right away and a slot machine will appear.

Again, the gray cells were intermittently mixed with brass cells.

I hope that this time, I will come up with a trait that will help me develop my appearance and talent quickly. I waited for the slot to stop with more anticipation than last time.

And the moment the slot was about to stop, another pop-up suddenly appeared.

[Slot machine jackpot!]
