Debut or Die - Chapter 142

If you can’t debut, you’ll die from an illness Episode 142

Although Testa is doing well in Korea, it’s only a story within Korea.

Just looking at the number of views on WeTube right now, it’s sometimes beaten by groups that are in the top 50 on music charts.

It means that they are relatively less well-known overseas than other large entertainment groups.

‘But it’s a billboard all of a sudden.’

Is it on the world album chart?

I thought it was at least realistic.

But no.

“Alternative Digital Song Sales Chart… yo. this?”

“okay!”

I’m hearing it for the first time in my life.

Everyone reflexively looked at the native Cha Yu-jin.

Hmm, likewise, it’s the first time I’ve ever heard of a face.

“Oops! for a moment.”

The manager, who was supposed to explain, got a call from the company and ran out again.

‘It’s crazy.’

We went back to the waiting room on our own and asked Cha Yoo-jin a question.

“Do you know the chart?”

“I know the Alternative Songs Chart… . I don’t know that.”

Except for Kim Rae-bin, everyone had ambiguous faces.

“that… Alternay… What is the chart… ?”

“There is only Alternative Rock. I like you!”

“ah.”

It seems to be a kind of rock genre. It seems to be referring to a chart by genre.

‘Then, digital sales were attached at the back… Does it mean that it is a chart that purely measures only the sales of digital music?

As soon as I found my smartphone in the waiting room, I checked what kind of chart it was.

… It was a genre sub-minor detailed chart that only showed up to 25th place.

‘Even for paid members.’

Next to him, Kim Rae-bin muttered with an awkward face.

“There is no alternative rock in the title song… … .”

I first checked the previous chart using the saved page of the last search engine.

“Oh is that it?”

Big Sejin interjected and swiped the screen down.

“hey.”

“haha! You can tell just by looking at the album here… … ?”

As a result of skimming down, Testa’s album art… There was no

“… … ?”

what.

“This one!”

At that time, even Cha Yu-jin’s hand intruded onto my smartphone screen. Then, he moved and picked up a song.

[〈127 Section〉 Bonus book / TeSTAR]

“… !!”

“omg.”

“Our game song!”

Yes.

The song of < 127 Section >, a game without dreams and hopes, which they collaborated with while releasing their 2nd album, entered the charts.

It came to me naturally from the experience of dressing up as fellow characters who were being massacred in Chapter 1.

“But isn’t it our album?”

As Sejin said, even the album art was different.

I immediately found the song on Spatify.

‘… It’s a game OST album.’

The situation was sorted out only after hearing the news while moving to the car by the manager who returned.

“A game global launch?”

“uh! But it seems to have gone very well. It was a mess!”

〈127 Section〉 was launched globally, mainly in English and American countries, and it was a hit.

The manager chuckled and laughed.

“So I released an OST album, and your songs were on the charts there! Hey, I guess it’s because the song is good… .”

“Yes?”

“It is a pleasure… !”

The members who roughly grasped the situation laughed and relaxed.

Because it was good news.

‘This is why the news came on Sunday out of the blue.’

The Billboard charts should have been updated on Wednesday.

Strictly speaking, these were the results of the game, not Testa’s.

Whether it’s the agency or the fans, it’s not a big and urgent matter, so it must have taken a few days for the news to reach the manager line.

‘T1 would be nice.’

In other words, a big hit came from a small game company acquired. Of course, the capital would have been mercilessly poured.

Anyway, the fact that the OST went well was a good thing for us as well. It was also a song that had a lot to do with the album.

‘Except for the verse, everything was in English, so it worked.’

It didn’t show any signs on the main chart, and it only appeared in the lower ranks of the minor chart, but it was still interesting and good news.

I shrugged my shoulders and put on a neck pillow, suddenly feeling uncomfortable.

‘No matter how, the game OST entered the charts… ?’

I thought it was because it was a minor chart, but no matter how much it is, can it be a game OST instead of a movie OST? A mobile game that just launched?

Besides, I’m not even sure what standard it was classified as alternative rock. I thought it was K-pop with only rock elements.

‘It’s a bit strange.’

I’ll have to check what the heck happened.

I have been browsing gaming communities on my smartphone for the first time in a very long time.

And I figured out the situation.

‘I used the Testa comeback trailer as a game advertisement again.’

〈127 Section〉 seems to have been advertised on YouTube or electronic billboards abroad in line with its global launch, and it seems that our trailer video was actively used here.

‘The quality was so good.’

It was at the level of a cinematic trailer.

The country would have recycled too.

Anyway, the English-speaking foreigners who saw this advertisement seemed to think that the testa appearing in the trailer was just an advertisement actor playing a character in the game.

‘Because I didn’t dance, I didn’t sing, I just acted.’

If you’re a game fanatic who isn’t interested in K-pop, it’s worth considering.

Aren’t we as well-known overseas as VTIC?

Anyway, since the reaction to the trailer ad is good… Game companies have gone a step further.

In the global version of the game, a part of the trailer is even inserted on the screen waiting for additional data to be downloaded within the app.

Thanks to this, it seems that overseas users naturally tasted the spiciness of ‘the experience of being massacred as soon as chapter 1 was over’.

And it is said that it is a trend among game streamers to upload shocking videos after playing Chapter 1.

When I searched for it, even videos with millions of real views came out.

[Never play 127 Section… NEVER!]

[MY FIRST TIME PLAYING 127 SECTION. (I hate it)]

Thumbnails were foreigners wearing headsets, crying or shouting, or with their eyes protruding.

‘There’s really no uproar.’

Anyway, based on its topicality, 〈127 Section〉 is receiving great acclaim for its story and UI, and is doing quite well in the UK and the US… … That was the summary.

‘I thought the game UI and visuals might be your sensibilities.’

It seemed to be compared to some famous indie games that were recognized for their workmanship and worldview. The GOTY story was already coming out.

However, unlike the booming global market, the domestic game community was in a mess with this.

Once you search on an anonymous site… … .

“… … hmm.”

This… I can’t. It’s a level where Seon Ah-hyun or Se-jin Bae would faint if they saw it.

‘It’s kind of creepy.’

So I looked for a less energetic but very moderate community.

There were traces of controversy in some posts on the bulletin board suggesting to the production team.

[Let’s end the promotion with idols]

: Let’s say there’s nothing we can do about advertising. That’s how the fortress flows.

But when a game keeps reminding you of a real celebrity, it’s a different case. I wish it wasn’t like that anymore.

I thought it would be okay since all of the collaboration characters died in the first chapter, but the nuance was significant as if it would continue to come out and subtly come back.

But recently, the image of idols has been erased, so I tried to only see them as characters in games, but idols appeared in global advertisements.

It’s okay if you don’t know the idol well, but it’s not us.

I’m worried that I’ll do nonsense again after seeing the success in the global version.

Please let’s end with the launch ad.

(I’m not sorry for that idol.)

————=

-That’s right, I enjoyed it in the beginning and it’s over

. I thought I would because I had to promote it, but now I’m a little worried. The domestic update cycle is also getting longer… Are you out of your mind at the abandoned factory?

– In the first place, this isn’t even a fucking game. When T-One took over, they made a lot of efforts to raise the board.

└ Male idols in the water… ?

└ Chewduck game meant for women.

└ Are you crazy? I don’t like it either haha

– I liked it ㅠㅠ Wasn’t the trailer cool?

└ I also liked the trailer. Testa was fine, but you seem to be overreacting… There is no word about a new collaboration.

└ I have to do this from now on

. Originally, wasn’t it Godstar

? Ha ha ha

└ Well, there were so many fans of that idol at that time ha ha ha

└ This sounds like a malicious story. At that time, it was just launching and everyone was running with excitement. The idols also promoted a lot of things through collaboration.

-Global also advertised with that video, it seems to be strong and good. It was money

.

After looking at a few more articles and the flow of popular articles, I roughly understood it.

‘It’s completely cooled.’

To put it vulgarly, all the mulberries are missing.

As capital and awareness were invested in a new game from a game company that might go bankrupt at first, the taste must have been rapidly favored. Because the box office is in a hurry right now.

‘The real result was good, so it must have been hot.’

Besides, since all of his early colleagues died, he must have been more excited because of the shock.

Since there are many fans of Testa that have flowed in through the promotion of Testa, the atmosphere must have gone to some extent.

However, the character has already died, so the character exited. Of course, Testa’s fans would quickly fall out because they didn’t feel the incentive to continue.

As the story of the massacre of early colleagues became public, and the proportion of people who flowed into ‘exciting mobile games’ increased, the usual flow was set again.

‘I’m not interested in idols.’

It means not to bring uninteresting and disparate guys into my favorite game content.

In addition, since the response to early colleagues was so intense in game companies, it seems that they continued to sprinkle rice cakes on early colleagues even in the updated content.

However, with the testa advertisement appearing in this global edition, it was understandable that they were worried that there would be another collaboration.

‘Then there’s only one.’

if you don’t connect I turned off my smartphone and cleaned up.

Let’s end it with something fun when I saw the group’s name on the billboard out of the blue.

And, sure enough, not long after, a sneak peek came in from the company.

“Guys, by any chance, a game collaboration… .”

“no. That doesn’t seem like it.”

“I have to prepare for the next album~”

“… ?? Guys?”

The manager was taken aback by the neat refusal.

‘I knew this would happen, so I gathered the kids together and briefed them briefly.’

-Co-collaboration was fun… … .

-Haha, so you’re leaving when we applaud~

There were some who were a bit disappointed, but everyone agreed anyway. Also, the fact that doing it only made me tired seems to have struck a chord in my heart.

From < Azusa > to the controversy over the Rookie of the Year Award, being a controversial topic on the Internet was tiring.

So, for the first time since the group’s decision, the rejection of the project occurred.

‘Have you been too compliant?’

The company was sorry and tried to convince them a few times, but because Testa has been performing so well lately, the group’s right to speak has become stronger, so it was safely dispelled.

And one day while preparing for the new album and the festival schedule in May.

A different story emerged this time.

“A stage in America?”

“yes! And these days, it’s a rising program here! It’s a bit small, mainly on YouTube, but the audience is sure… … .”

The company employee talked excitedly, then cleared his throat slightly.

‘… Are you paying attention?’

I had a bad feeling.

“however… Um, I want you to sing that game collaboration song?”

Oh too.
