Debut or Die - Chapter 335
If you can’t debut, you’ll get sick to death Episode 335
Everyone agreed that this OST requires a slightly different approach from previous album songs.
“It’s not a collaboration like a game, so we just have to make it fit for the movie.”
“At the same time, it’s important to show Testa’s color just right~”
Putting the center on the movie, Testa is just enough to be recognizable as a base.
There is just a problem.
“Yes… It would be better if there was a main melody like a crab game.”
“… Whether you make it or not, you have to give the data.”
The film industry didn’t have much to offer.
Some of the keywords and scenario summaries that were given as ‘limited to the leakage problem’ were poorer than expected.
Let’s start with keywords.
[Space cyberpunk super power battle focus]
The plot is at the level of an obvious sci-fi hero movie. There is almost no explanation of the worldview.
‘No matter how much it’s too much.’
I frowned. You can even write a confidentiality memorandum, but I think it’s less than telling people who come to auditions.
“First of all, I will proceed with composing while being conscious of the fact that it is background music in line with the movie OST composition method… .”
So, even if Kim Rae-bin shouted sternly and started working, the rest of the members had nothing to do.
‘I don’t know how to compose an OST, so what can I do with Zero Base?’
There are four days left, but now it’s hard to learn and cram.
‘At most, I’ll have to touch the melody…’ .’
There’s no room for brainstorming. Daeron Lee seems to be giving feedback on what Raebin Kim made with surplus manpower.
‘I started a camp to avoid this situation.’
Right now, when composing an OST, it is a bit bitter to follow the previous steps without any special choice. I turned around and got up from my seat.
“Where is Moondae hyung going?”
“Go get some water.”
“I’m coming too!”
Cha Yoo-jin followed. For some reason, it seems to follow me whenever I go to the kitchen… I don’t think it’s an illusion.
“Can I eat this?”
“okay.”
Let’s not bother to tell you that half of the cost is actually paid by you anyway. Because this guy has enough money.
Cha Yoo-jin, who was finding snacks in the hotel refrigerator and popping them into her mouth, suddenly threw up a word.
[You can see the trouble on your face?]
“… what.”
“Is it tasty! take it!”
Not required.
I murmured as I chewed on the nuts he offered me.
“Are you worried?”
Isn’t it obvious
“It’s because the selection of an OST in four days is a forced march. There aren’t many materials provided by the company.”
I’m not one to be swayed by realistic words, so it’s okay to say this much.
As expected, Cha Yu-jin looked fine, but shrugged.
And he made a bombshell statement.
“That company is doing it on purpose!”
“… !”
Cha Yoo-jin crumpled the snack bag and threw it into the trash.
bang.
“On purpose.”
[Yes. This is perfectly clear. Well, it seems that this company doesn’t want to give us a job, right?]
“… … .”
keep talking
I leaned against the wall. Cha Yoo-jin also leaned against the wall.
[It’s unpleasant that we suddenly interrupted. Well, some prejudice may have worked.]
Ah.
‘Is it on the racist side?’
He was a local, so he knew it well.
“Are you talking about experience?”
“No! But I don’t care.”
Now you use double negatives.
Well, judging from the look on his face that said that Cha Yoo-jin’s Korean skills were insignificant anyway, it seemed that nothing serious had happened.
“So I know this too. If you do well, you can’t talk.”
oh.
“And you can’t. We’re cool even without OST!”
“You wanted to go to America.”
[Well, there are always other options!]
It’s still the same. There’s nothing to lose if you politely decline.
‘It’s been a long time since this guy showed off his hair so aggressively.’
It’s kind of interesting. Shall I encourage you?
“Then I don’t want to quit, but what if these bastards are offended?”
“Then I am screaming that I want a 100% proper request. Stars are like that. And] I want to! Our company sends an e-mail.”
hmm.
It’s definitely a cool way, but… It’s true that we squeezed through the T1 line, so there’s no need to give the opponent an excuse to openly refute.
I grinned.
“What if there is a quieter and cooler way?”
“… ! Let me know!”
okay.
“hmm… If you look at the fact that these guys come out unfairly pretending to give them work.”
Rather good situation.
I smiled and opened the plastic bottle.
“It’s enough to say that, but you should pay attention.”
“Are the two different?”
“different.”
I drank water.
“It’s just that you can’t refuse.”
So, aren’t you making unreasonable demands?
“Oh… .”
Cha Yu-jin nodded his head softly.
“But why do you like it?”
“It means our company is using some strength.”
“Is it stronger than our company’s Limestone?”
No matter how much T1 can do against that crazy copyright conglomerate.
“It’s not like that, it’s because of the close relationship. T1 Entertainment distributes Limestone movies in Korea.”
“Oh.”
There’s definitely a reason the film studio couldn’t turn it down. I don’t know what it is, but T1 made a better deal than expected.
Perhaps T1 saw our proposal as a green light for flattery, saying ‘Thank you very much’.
‘Did you think we bowed down on our own when we were about to be sarcastically because our direct label proposal fell through?’
It’s completely misunderstood, but it’s good to use it.
Anyway, T1 must have wanted to grow the overseas pie of the target singer, so I was excited and contacted the film company and made a big deal.
However, considering the relationship with T1, the film company said okay, but the working staff was annoyed when a non-American KPOP idol suddenly intervened.
I touched my chin.
‘Someone is playing a joke somewhere in the middle of film history.’
At most, it’s about one OST for foreign guys, so did you think it was okay?
“Someone among the head of the Limestone staff seems to be looking at us with respect.”
“all right! But when will you tell me how?”
“now.”
Caught, I grinned.
“okay. The meaning of the explanation so far is… .”
“Please tell us!”
You are proud.
“It means that once we meet the absurd conditions that these guys called, we will have no choice but to say okay.”
“hmm?”
“It’s a situation where everyone at the top agreed. You can’t refuse without a reason. I don’t know if it’s a revision request.”
That means you can run.
“So how… First of all, I will send you a well-made finished copy.”
“Boo woo woo. You lose that.”
this guy
“It’s not just about making it well, it’s about making it by adding more than keywords on its own.”
I drank water.
“We are doing elaborate additional work by adding the existing hero movies of this film company and keywords of the game world view of the game company itself.”
“Why do you do that?”
“I had to make it embarrassing.”
“hmm?”
I crumpled an empty plastic bottle.
“I’m just adding it honestly as I send it. You guys didn’t send me something so I collected the data and made it myself.”
“Uuuuuh!”
“And the next words are important.”
“what?”
I laughed.
“The person in charge doesn’t seem to know, but when requesting an OST demo, they kindly inform us that this level of information and time is usually required.”
“… !”
I shrugged.
“And when you have a meeting, you just need to tell them that you need to prepare these things, as if you were teaching a kindergartener. Then it’s over.”
No matter how many OST songs there are, preparations for the first meeting with outsiders cannot be left out without a report from the top.
Then, even if you don’t know who the prankster is, there’s no place to escape. You will have to explain to both companies yourself what happened.
“WOW.”
Cha Yoo-jin changed his stance.
“Hyung, that’s totally Badass!”
“Do you like it?”
“I like it!”
I’m glad you like it.
Cha Yoo-jin asked for a high-five, and even ran to the hotel parlor and started explaining herself first.
“Let’s make our cool OST and embarrass you!”
“what?”
I knew it would be like this.
I completed the explanation by supplementing Cha Yu-jin’s words. The members looked bewildered, but soon became serious.
“It’s a classy way.”
“It’s okay~ Even if things go wrong, we did our best.”
In this way, even if things go wrong, it means that you can win unconditionally in the public opinion war. yeah i considered that too.
“Shall we try a majority vote?”
“okay.”
As soon as the unanimous vote was OK, Cha Yoo-jin blew a whistle.
“Our members are really cool!”
And Kim Rae-bin started to get excited again.
“Then we must get to work immediately.”
“okay. We’ll quickly bring up movie and game references~ Our Rabin, fighting!”
“yes!”
That’s how the surplus manpower, excluding Kim Rae-bin, also had something to do.
“Well then, should I tell the company about the explanation to be sent there?”
“Well, I think it would be more effective if we use it.”
It is not likely that an interpreter who can save all the subtle nuances will be attached in this short period of time. Rather, it is better for us, the parties, to spend a little more time.
‘There’s just the right person.’
“Do I?”
“no. Gather your references I know American culture well.” Not
“OK”
Cha Yu-jin. I’m active, but to be honest, I don’t think I’m going to use the official document vocabulary well.
I turned my head.
“Ah Hyun-ah.”
“Yes… ?”
“Can we make a description of our work in English?”
Sun Ah-hyun’s face brightened.
“Ugh… !”
Studying abroad at a prestigious private school and having an advanced English vocabulary, this is probably better. Before sending, you need to have it inspected by an expert.
Besides, Sun Ah-hyun doesn’t participate in producing well, so it seems she’s glad that she has something she can do.
“I will work hard… !”
“good.”
It seems that Seon Ah-hyun also put some pressure on her mind with this.
Big Sejin smiled.
“Ah~ I think everything has been sorted out. Shall we go fighting again?”
“OK!”
The air became lively again.
And in that atmosphere, Kim Rae-bin muttered as if he had realized it now.
“Then, considering the description and translation… The deadline is half a day off.”
“… … .”
“… … .”
Kim Rae-bin raised his thumb.
“The scheduled camp date was originally three days, so it seems to fit perfectly!”
Yes, if you’re okay, we’re all okay.
* * *
“Ah… I am tired.”
TI ENT’s external cooperation department on duty sighed.
Since overseas calls were made even at dawn in Korean time, it was the worst thing to have to stand on standby for an emergency one day a week.
I slept on the side and watched netplus, but it was still boring.
‘In the first place, I don’t have the right to read anything that comes at this time.’
There is nothing to do except quickly call back when an emergency arises from a few of the requested customers. The worker rolled the company’s ERP system with a sigh.
Then I saw a document.
[TeSTAR movie cooperation case]
I heard rumors from the knowledge department because they are so hot idols.
‘I told you first that I would work with Limestone.’
And I think I heard that they sent an actual demo the day before yesterday.
I didn’t have permission to read it, so I checked it slightly over my shoulder, but I could tell that it was made with great care, even the explanation attached as an appendix.
So it was embarrassing.
‘One so far… .’
To be honest, it seemed a bit servile.
‘Everyone seemed to be ignoring them, but an idol who won the grand prize in Korea… .’
Could it be that the company did it?
For some reason, his ego was hurt by the proxy, so the worker used it as an excuse to curse the company.
And the future was also predicted briefly based on the time.
‘If you give me an ok sign as if you were choosing it, I’m sure they’ll say something again with it, this damn company… .’
It was then.
A new mail has arrived.
[Fw: In response to your request of… … ]
It caught my eye from the recipient.
‘Lime Stone!’
Just click… I wanted to, but I didn’t have the authority. So, unfortunately, one caught the eye of the worker, who was even scratching the surface.
Attachment size.
‘uh… .’
What arrived was a pile of files as large as Testa sent… !
‘What the hell did they send?’
If it was a simple OK sign, there would be no such clear, and the contract clause was the same.
‘damn!’
It was frustrating that I couldn’t see it because I didn’t have permission to read it… ! The watchman sighed.
And after the day is bright, the watchman gets the circumstances of the mail.
That it is a gesture of voluntary tax payment and reconciliation sent back.
‘Wow!’
It was a cool substitute cider.
‘What did you send? No, how well did you make the song?’
* * *
“A proper request has arrived.”
“oh.”
It worked.
Of course, I don’t know what else I’ll say when I actually leave the meeting.
‘No, in this way, we can just send and receive emails without meeting.’
Still, I didn’t bother to stop the members from laughing and high-fiving.
‘One win is one win.’
Liu Cheng-wu smiled and continued the briefing.
“There are very few correction requests, only some arrangement requests regarding the structure of the song.”
“It’s not difficult!”
Kim Rae-bin is almost flying. He shows an unbelievable aggressiveness for a guy who worked while drinking caffeinated drinks like water for three days.
‘Looks interesting.’
It was then. What Ryu Cheng-wu showed a puzzled expression.
“and… They say we’ll sign a contract with a cameo appearance?”
“… ?”
“Really? A movie cameo?”
“huh.”
I was amazed.
these guys… .
Just because things have turned out like this, they really want to eat Korean box office mulberries.
“You mean this movie, right?”
“Yeah. It just appears in the background as if passing by.”
“If that’s enough… .”
“Are you okay?”
And naturally, we all looked at one guy.
“Why why… ?”
“I will only trust you.”
“… !?”
Bae Se-jin, a genius child actor, has come to challenge Hollywood.
“Don’t believe me!”
