Debut or Die - Chapter 17

If you can’t debut, you’ll get a fatal disease Episode 017

Of course, it’s important talent to get attention in the entertainment industry. There were many cases where a brief moment on stage changed a career.

However, I couldn’t get rid of the impression that this feature was exclusive to interested seeds from the title to the content.

Even the exact rate of increase is not given. ‘A little more’.

“Can I use this ambiguous expression in the status window?”

Is this a class D trait?

But the miracle of having the status window interact with my displeasure didn’t happen.

I finally accepted reality.

okay. Featured features… It’s good. It would be great if it helped your debut.

Drooling!

The moment I erased the status window, my smartphone vibrated. I quickly checked to see if there was any contact from the production team.

But no.

“what.”

It was messenger talk.

[Lee Se-jin (big): Didn’t check the Mundaemundae single chat? Hahahaha]

[Lee Se-jin (big): It’s so cool that he didn’t read it, Moondae-ya]

“… … .”

I had to turn off the alarm on my personal messenger too, but I didn’t think of it. Ignoring a message I had already read while continuing to face each other in the future was tantamount to chasing after me, so I had no choice but to send a reply.

[Me: I don’t read my phone well. Sorry]

[Lee Se-jin (big):

What

are you apologizing for?

I checked the group messenger room. Over 500 new messages were displayed in the room with the teammates from the last round 1 team fight.

Of course, I don’t intend to read them all. I went all the way down and checked only the last conversation.

The team members were capturing and sharing reviews of the last stage visit.

From the review, I excerpted the expression, ‘Everyone on this team is handsome~’, and it seemed like my social life was going back and forth saying that my brother and sister were handsome.

[Lee Se-jin (big): That’s right, come to think of it, Mundae also looks handsome every time I see him on a broadcast] [

Lee Se-jin (big): Think of our comradeship and share the dermatology clinic]

Level up sucker, bastard .

Of course, I couldn’t say that, so I just sent him away saying I didn’t go.

What the hell is this guy who used words like ‘confirmation required’ to ask a dermatologist… … .

Is it because of the mood? got very tired

At that moment, another vibration rang.

[Seon Ah-hyun: Moondae-ya, are you doing well? Thank you for always treating me well during the first team match. … (more)]

A long text message was uploaded to the group room.

Like a lie, suddenly no one posts messages.

It was sobering.

“… … .”

After a short reply in human terms, I immediately turned off the data.

If we meet at the next shoot… I have to say that I can’t watch Messenger Talk because I don’t have Wi-Fi at home.

The next shooting, the production presentation, was five days away.

* * *

Production presentation. Promotional event ahead of episode 1 airing.

In fact, the 77 participants had little to do as individuals. All you have to do is sing one song of “Me” and take some pictures.

Of course, the point of ‘taking a picture’ was important here.

This is because it has already been proven that the photos taken at the production presentation can play a big role in preoccupying the early turnout.

‘Thanks to that, I got some money and took some pictures.’

First of all, it was not to take and sell, but to designate and commission it, so the compensation was good.

Anyway, to express my feelings standing at such a press conference… … . Yes.

‘They’re all faces I’ve seen anywhere.’

I was used to the faces holding out my personal camera from behind the reporters.

I’m sure the majority of you have sat next to me at least once at an event, wherever you are.

Let’s do some analysis… Let’s see, first of all, I saw guys selling data every second.

Except for that, most of them were fans of existing idols. I guess the purpose of finding a new idol was half of it, and half of it was just for fun.

Maybe that’s why it seemed like there weren’t many people taking pictures with just one person fixed.

After taking three or four participants in one cut, I could see the lens moving slightly as if they were going to crop each one.

Anyway, there were more people than expected.

Gradually, it seems that the atmosphere that this program will succeed by using controversy as a topic is being created in secret.

‘Unfortunately, even if I use the remaining points on Park Moon-dae’s appearance, I can’t get out of B.’

Probably, the beneficiary of the production presentation will be those with an A- or better appearance, so I will have to work hard at the performance of < Me Too >.

‘As expected, the trend is the face… .’

The short regret that I should have taken the picture from the appearance stats passed again.

“I’ll start after the reporters enter!”

As we stood in formation on the outdoor lawn as we had rehearsed at dawn, the staff shouted for a moment to wait.

While I was warming my feet in the interlude, someone suddenly called out to me.

“I saw the stage.”

“yes?”

It was Cha Yoo-jin, standing in front of the diagonal. If I remember correctly, this is the contestant who will be ranked first this season.

‘But what are you saying so out of context?’

I remembered that moment. It was like this last time too.

Perhaps it was during the stage shooting for the broadcast of < Me Too >, and Cha Yoo-jin asked me if I could not dance, so I answered by saying, “Look at the stage and judge.”

Could it be that this stage story was an extension of that conversation?

If the participants were talking about the stage now, there was a high probability that it would be the first team match due to the timing.

If that’s the case, I have no choice but to admit it. It was good to think of myself. But still, it was just as random.

It’s not some kind of boy’s manga… Did you feel a sense of rivalry?

And more unexpectedly, Cha Yu-jin raised his thumb.

“Really good job!”

“Ah, thank you.”

“Let’s team up next time.”

“It would be nice if possible.”

No matter what this guy thinks, it’s good to be together.

I said okay without asking or asking. Even if it’s empty, you don’t have to worry about it.

The conversation with Cha Yu-jin ended there.

“This this… Want some?”

“Oh thank you.”

“Huh! Ahyeon-nim, don’t you have mine?”

“Wow, since the leader of the great leader quit, it seems like a betrayal.”

“Here.”

I received a jelly from Seon Ah-hyun nearby and chewed it to loosen my feet.

As I was overhearing the chatter of all the gold-level team members, the staff gave a signal.

“Prepare!”

Soon, the prelude that I was tired of listening to during the first week of filming came out.

Anyway, this stage will definitely be uploaded on WeTube, so let’s avoid choreography mistakes.

* * *

As soon as I was safely leaving the stage of 〈Baro Me〉, I heard someone shouting.

“It’s Moondae!”

Is it correct to call Moondae Park now?

When I turned my head to check, it was one of the camera crew.

The woman in the hoodie seemed to press the shutter incessantly as soon as I turned around.

… Am I the only one filming? When I inadvertently pointed my hand to my face, the woman shouted again.

“Moondae! Some hearts!”

“… … .”

I never thought the day would come when I would hear those words.

But opportunities were opportunities, so I somehow made a finger heart and lifted it up.

a little… I was embarrassed.

“Ball Cock! Cock on the cheek too!”

Seon Ah-hyun is trying to get out of the side. It seems that he has already suffered from the camera calling for himself before the stage.

I winked.

‘You can do it too.’

It would be less embarrassing if even one person was together.

Seon Ah-hyun creaked as if he had received the signal properly and came back. And in the meantime, a big Sejin hit and came in.

“What are you two doing? Ah, a picture~”

He puts the spoon up and throws it away.

I wish I didn’t have to put my arm on someone else’s shoulder, but I had a camera so I decided to put up with it.

So all of a sudden, the three of them put their arms around each other and took a picture.

‘After all, they leave a picture of the three of them like this from before the first episode.’

We fought from the time we opened the group messenger room.

It was a bit embarrassing, but it was already overturned water from the first team match, so I decided not to avoid it.

Anyway, I could see a woman’s face as she finally took her eyes off the camera.

uh… … .

He was the one who bought me some data.

If it is difficult to film an event due to schedule, there are secretly quite a few hommies who post it as if they had filmed it after editing it.

Well, that person had such a demand.

Let’s see, since I raised the price, it’s because I’m a data seller, and I’m reminded of the sarcastically saying that I don’t have conscience about the unit price.

… Still, I didn’t take pictures of my personal life, such as entering and leaving the airport.

If the data didn’t sell, it was released for free on the fan community or WeTube.

‘what… Anyway, I have nothing to say even if I get cursed at.’

Even though the company is leaving it as it is for business purposes, it is true that it is a yard that ignores other people’s portrait rights and does business.

Maybe it was because of that sin that if I couldn’t debut now, I would die suddenly.

I want you to feel the feelings of the idol being filmed in reverse.

“Park Moon-dae is really cute!!”

“… … .”

and… I really can’t get used to it.

Come to think of it, the male idol he was filming had been caught driving drunk at the end of last year.

‘That guy’s position was the main vocal… … .’

Maybe Park Moon-daero… I guess you are planning to change.

I was in a strange mood and waved my hand.

Anyway, the production presentation data is precious, so I hope you will work hard to film it.

‘It’s better if you upload the picture before Friday.’

Just this Friday, < Re-listing! Idol Co., Ltd. > started airing for the first time.

* * *

Tnet headquarters. The editing room located in the corner of the 9th floor was full of overnight workers.

Ryu Seo-rin, who invited Park Moon-dae, was one of them.

“Seorin, your eyes are red. Have some coffee and do it.”

“I don’t have time. Just coffee, please.”

It was the 7th cup today.

All of the faces looking at the video data while drinking coffee like water were haggard.

Ryu Seo-rin’s former shooter sighed.

“Editing the first episode is important, right?”

“… yes. You can see the direction of the program.”

What to show and what to cut out.

“Yeah, everything has to have a story to be fun.”

“It’s fun when people can immerse themselves in it without thinking.”

Even an audition program needs a narrative to be fun. And the narrative needs to be easy to see so viewers can stick with it.

This seemed almost orthodox.

“that’s right. So did… I think until episode 4 and build up from episode 1.”

“Yes. The results of the first team battle as the episode ending… I have to catch the flow of the story and catch the characters of the children.”

of course. In determining that, the authority of Ryu Seo-rin or her archer was not strong.

‘In the end, what the main PD thinks matters.’

She took her hands off the video for a moment.

“Are you going to rest?”

“… I would like to make a suggestion.”

“Oh edit?”

“yes.”

“Um~ it’s okay. Even in season 1… Was it Lee Go-yoon? PD Jung accepted the talk about editing the regular contestant.”

Shall I try too? At the former shooter’s words, Ryu Seo-rin laughed inwardly.

‘I did it with good timing.’

Now was just the right time.

Because of the comradeship, fatigued people forgot the sense of authority.

“This time… Well, I don’t have any kids to push, so it’s a good idea to suggest.”

“yes. You just have to think about ratings.”

Just as the previous season ended prematurely with controversy, there were almost no requests from leading agencies.

If so, what kind of contestants should be shown and how should viewers feel catharsis when the team fight is aired?

“It’s important to catch people people like, but you also need people to hate. How about saying something like that? You are good.”

There was a bone in the mischievous horse. Ryu Seo-rin shrugged.

“Ay, where does the production team make all of that? Originally, people do. I want to keep liking the kids I like, and I want to keep hating the kids I hate.”

“Hmm.”

When the production team tied it up, the former shooter kept his mouth shut.

“We are just making it easy for viewers to immerse themselves in it.”

“It doesn’t.”

The former gunner slightly lowered his tail. It was because Ryu Seo-rin definitely had a sense.

So I changed the topic and got lucky again as if I knew everything.

“So you chose to be the underdog this time? That’s because the editor has a lot to do.”

“… … .”

Underdog effect.

It meant the effect of being enthusiastic about the thrilling reverse electrode where the weak beat the strong, just like David defeating Goliath.

And it was one of the funniest narratives an audition program could show.

Of course, it took a lot of tweaking by the editor to get the effect right. Because it has to be put together well.

“Are you going to make a suggestion to them? They kept looking around.”

“what… … See you.”

Ryu Seo-rin shed it roughly, but it was actually positive.

‘No matter what you think… … I have to give it to them.’

I had already made up my mind as I recalled from the video I was looking at Ryu Seo-rin.

“Going~”

She responds appropriately to the old shooter saying something she doesn’t mean to and goes to the main PD to talk.

“Hey PD.”

And I was half sure that maybe the main PD had similar thoughts.
