Debut or Die - Chapter 339

If I can’t debut, I’ll get sick to death Episode 339

The testa tour is also in the middle of April, with only a few weeks left in the US.

“Let’s go to the cinema again!”

“I don’t have time.”

“Then make it!”

Be persistent today.

I looked at Cha Yoo-jin, who was singing to watch a movie even at the composing camp.

Because of this guy, I am on my way to see < Cosmic Gunner > like robbing every city I go on tour at night.

‘There have been quite a few sightings.’

I went and stopped when people who were aiming for a predictive shot came looking for me, but they are doing that as if they had some kind of withdrawal symptoms.

“It is not good to continuously steal the hyungs’ sleep time in order to re-watch Cha Yoo-jin’s appearances that last only a few seconds… .”

“My voice is long! And we were great!”

“Haha that’s right. It was amazing to hear our song in the ending credits.”

Yes, I didn’t know that our song would be adopted as the main theme song.

I don’t know, but I guess the reason the producer came to the scene last time was because he liked the song more than I could have imagined.

‘Even though those bastards never paid more.’

Let’s say it was used for publicity. First of all, the composer himself is very excited.

“yes! I was very excited too!”

“okay.”

“I wasn’t curious? Rabin’s song was really good~”

Once again, admiration poured out for the top contributor. Even Cha Yu-jin nodded.

“Kim Rae-bin’s song was great too.”

Kim Rae-bin solemnly nodded.

“There were parts that were somewhat disappointing in terms of completeness due to the hasty production, but after filming, I supplemented it with feedback, so I decided that it was finished to a level that I am not ashamed of.”

“GOOD~”

Rarely do the two of you fight and agree.

“The bar response is great. Even in the US… An article appears.”

“Oh~ Really?”

It seems that Seon Ah-hyun even tried to search on rare occasions. If you do something different, you get all sorts of results.

I translated the article he gave me.

“It was a KPOP boy band that composed the main insert song for this Limestone movie… It is said that the identity of that impressive cameo star is surprising the public.”

“Ohhh~”

It’s too early to admire that the articles are all published separately, but when I actually entered the American anonymous community and searched, there were posts about knowing.

‘First of all, the movie was so successful at the box office.’

This was something we couldn’t do anything about, but we were lucky.

Anyway, it seems that we are already posting thanks to the well-shot in the popular movie.

Even the testa cameo scene leaked in low quality and wandering around was attached.

The funny thing is that there were many people who said, ‘I thought it was a supporting role, but I was embarrassed because it didn’t appear again’, probably not knowing that it was a cameo.

-I thought that crazy band would reappear later, but it’s a pity ? Still, the song in the ending credits is what they were

playing

right

? It seems to be coming.

I remembered the comments on a popular article titled ‘The identity of the crazy band from < Cosmic Gunner >.’ -*Is

this * K-Pop?

└Both of them (crying smiley emoji)

-Testa is one of the most talented K-pop groups I’ve ever seen, so I wasn’t surprised

└Right

! It’s a boy ?

└ As expected, K-pop fans are popping out lol

And if you go out a little further, even a variety show where we sold hotteok in the US is often attached as a recommendation at the end.

In other words, the overseas response also complied with more than expected.

“The overall response is really good.”

“I know.”

And there’s a guy who’s listening carefully to all this, pretending he’s not here.

He is the one who brought this reaction in the form of a two-headed carriage with Kim Rae-bin.

I turned my head.

“My brother was very good at acting.”

“… Hmmm.”

It’s Bae Se-jin.

It’s not once or twice that people around me do this, but now I’m a bit embarrassed. At first, I was very frightened.

Cha Yoo-jin cheered.

“that’s right! Absolutely perfect!”

“Actually, it wasn’t perfect. I tried my best to interpret the lines according to the makeup and the situation, but there are pronunciation problems… anyway! Thank you! You helped me a lot with my pronunciation.”

“i know!”

Bae Se-jin stopped at that point and admitted meekly. It seems that he is finally starting to become aware that the atmosphere becomes embarrassing if he is serious here.

Perhaps the fact that I saw so many good reviews also played a role.

I recalled the favorable reactions pouring in on the first day of release. -I just

thought you

were an actor from there

-Crazy

-What is Bae Se-jin? What is Bae Se-jin?

‘They asked a lot of questions on set.’

Bae Se-jin tried to understand as much as possible about the script and the situation, even using Cha Yoo-jin as an interpreter.

‘As I finished it at the end, an ad-lib passed in one cut.’

In the beginning, the cameo line was only a humorous curse word and a line of argument.

However, I thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be more fun to say something at the end’, and the line I came up with on the spot was that ad-lib.

– Come listen again.

It was a pun, knowing that our song would play again in the latter half of the fight scene.

I didn’t know that it would come out with a euphemism with vocals in the ending credits, but it would be recalled.

Anyway, his skills related to his acting and talent were at a level high enough to sweep almost overwhelmingly positive reviews.

Of course, thanks to this, there were also people who tickled each other. -I don’t know why they’re idols

. Isn’t it

good for acting

?

It was obvious, so the group’s fans all prepared and blocked it.

However, it is a problem that such an unusual reaction came out even among ordinary people and cinephiles who just came to see the movie. –

It’s too wasteful to only do a cameo, please

build

up your filmography quickly.

‘Anyway, they still pay more to actors than idols.’

Is it a matter of job life and characteristics? I thought briefly and then just shrugged and quit.

‘For now, let’s enjoy it.’

Right now, right after Testa has raised the status of the group by winning the grand prize, public opinion is not collapsing and maintaining a balance.

In the first place, Testa participated in this movie as an OST, so Bae Se-jin appeared as a member of it.

It means that the atmosphere is not expected that Bae Se-jin will quit group activities ‘immediately’ and start acting.

‘Still, if you want to do group activities naturally while doing individual activities, you have to be careful from now on.’

I don’t know what these guys will prioritize then… It’s safe to create an environment where you can choose first.

‘It’s good to do various activities as a group and produce good results.’

And I wonder if things that have not yet been properly revealed in this film will help with that.

Coincidentally, a similar topic has also returned among the members.

“Umm~ Hyung, did you ever say when the euphemism of our OST will be released?”

The OST of this movie we sang.

‘Black hole’.

Even though this was not an official sound source, even illegal sound sources extracted from trailers were circulating. Google even auto-completed it in English.

However, we do not have the right to release the music.

“well. I didn’t receive a specific date… It will probably be released according to the schedule of the film company.”

I nodded.

“Yes. Because it will be included in their OST album, not ours.”

From the standpoint of T1, since the contract was like that, it wouldn’t be much of a difference.

… … And in fact, I was aiming for this too.

‘If this side had the authority, I would have already released it with excitement on the first day of release.’

This kind of thing should be released when demand is at its peak, but it would have been unbearable until then because it was full of public opinion. I’m sure.

Besides, the most important reason is:

“The Limestone will take care of it.”

It is the title of ‘Limestone’.

American superhero film series.

‘If it’s released as an OST for this movie, it’s a huge profit in the US.’

The moment a song comes out with a familiar and cool Limestone title instead of the name of an unfamiliar foreign KPOP singer, the entry barrier to the song disappears.

The elimination of preconceived notions and prejudices.

It was the best reward.

‘This is worth doing.’

In addition, there is content to add boosters here.

‘Hmm.’

“For an American album, that too is amazing.”

“That’s right. It was also my first film song… You’ve worked hard, Rabin… !”

“Ahyeon-hyung also worked hard with smooth communication support and performance guidance!”

I worked hard calculating the return on investment in my head as I watched the guys exchanging conversations in the way that ‘the experience alone was enjoyable’.

and after a few days.

In the name of ‘Thank you for your support’, the OST sound source was released with the label of Limestone.

And not only the sound source, but also a short video was released to the world.

– What is this?

-Hey fuck,

it’s a live performance we took on the set of a bar on the set.

Yeah, the Limestone bastards decided to release this for promotional purposes, not VOD or Director’s Cut.

* * *

The day the OST sound source and performance video were released.

While returning to Korea for a while, we watched the video on a tablet PC using the in-flight WIFI.

“and.”

“The editing is definitely different.”

It is edited to make it feel like part of the movie, a little different from the camera work used on stage, so the unfamiliar taste is excellent.

[Black – hole!]

The lighting on the chin and the back of the hands and feet handling the instrument are artistically captured under colored lights resembling neon signs.

From the avant-garde attire and background rebellious performance to clear vocals. The band performance that made the most of the atmosphere of < Cosmic Gunner > was really worth seeing.

It was natural because there were people who had actually used similar instruments to the bizarre space instruments.

[Hit it like a comet!]

I nodded as I saw the camera catching Yujin Cha throwing a microphone from bottom to top at the last center.

‘It took quite a bit of effort.’

It is full of American sensibility, but it was unique because the image of this band in the movie was so strong. There is a definite attraction.

And I don’t think it’s because I’m the one who performed.

[22938704]

It hasn’t even been a few hours since it was released, but it has already reached tens of millions of views.

At that moment, Cha Yoo-jin blew a whistle.

“We’re #2 in popularity in America!”

“Ohh~”

“You mean real-time popular video rankings?”

“that’s right!”

That’s how I knew where this hit was towed. is the target market.

done.

Whether it’s a movie fan or whatever, there’s nothing wrong with a high-quality performance video that has a steady rise in views.

It might take some time to explain that it’s not a band, but that’s what it’s like to turn it into an episode on a talk show.

‘It’s a cognitive map, honey.’

It was time to roll my head on how to maximize this.

Sejin Sejin, who was watching the previous video and monitoring the reaction, suddenly hit his shoulder. What.

“Park Moondae.”

“why.”

“Look at this.”

I checked the smartphone he was holding out.

[Comparison of Testa OST plagiarism controversy]

“… !!”

plagiarism?

I immediately checked Raebin Kim’s face in the front seat. Then Sejin shakes his head and pulls my neck.

“Read on.”

“… … .”

I turned my eyes once. And read the text… … .

————————

Testa’s Cosmic Gunner OST Blackhole Bridge (from 1:30)

Arranged by YouTuber ‘Star Song’ Channel 〈127 Section 〉 Time running Arrangement (from 2:56)

Judgment is up to you.

+For your reference, I am a student studying Star Song, but I am not an amateur and have participated in the official game theme song

————————

“… ??”

What’s this.

Why is there an account for our arrangement?

I immediately called Kim Rae-bin. And I showed the article to Kim Rae-bin.

“… ??”

He made the same stupid face as I did two minutes ago.

I waited patiently for some more reaction. Fortunately, Kim Rae-bin shouted as if he knew right away.

“… ! That’s right, it seems that some of the samples I made before overlapped because I was in a hurry!”

“ah.”

“sorry. Since we have the same world view, I didn’t recognize it during urgent work and stopped… .”

And to sum up the following guy’s explanation, it’s like this.

‘I frantically chose out of pre-made beats and samples to work on the OST, but since they all share the same worldview, they seem to overlap. It’s my negligence! I will do deep reflection and take countermeasures at the same time!’

“No, wait.”

I calmed down Rabin Kim.

“Moondaemundae?”

After showing a gesture asking Sejin to stop for a moment, I first entered the account of ‘Byeolbyeolgok’.

The comments on the video were already exploding.

And the main argument is this.

-Sue, never sue

-Byeolgok, cheer up hyung, I support you

-It’s the first time I’ve heard it, and it’s such a good song. It really can’t be compared to plagiarized songs.

“oh.”

Everyone is excited.

I rubbed my chin. This… If I do well, I might be able to use it.
