Debut or Die - Chapter 68

If you can’t debut, you get a fatal disease Episode 068

“… … .”

There was a moment of deceptive silence.

The headquarters manager asked as if he had heard a random joke.

“… Magic Girl? You mean what the kids see? Like Lunamoon?”

“yes.”

Park Mun-dae quickly sorted out the situation before he became displeased.

widely.

“Of course, I don’t really mean magical girls for toddlers.”

As the PPT went through one more page, I saw small cuts of dreamy colors.

Classroom windows glistening in the sunset light.

Sky Wallpaper for cracked feature phones.

Classroom clock with purple effect.

… …

“However, if it is reconstructed by taking only the symbolic motifs of the genre, it is a sufficiently competitive sport. Retro sensibility is in vogue these days, so it is also a choice that can capture both popularity and pioneering ideas.”

“… Mmm.”

Park Moon-dae presented examples of retro marketing in several PPTs. Among them, there was an SNS viral that was conducted by T1, the parent company of the agency.

“In addition, if the dreamy atmosphere of the song and the keywords ‘youth’ and ‘magic’ are harmonized, I think that the composition of the art film can bring enough artistic value.”

art.

It was to stab the weak part of a high-ranking person like the head of headquarters.

When Moondae Park talked about self-produced idols, I realized what kind of image he expected from this agency’s business.

‘I want to look good, but I have no choice but to eat well.’

Since I talked about popularity in front of me, I also made enough excuses about commerciality.

“Related image references and arrangement plans.”

Park Moon-dae turned over the PPT and showed additional image data selected with the members.

And finally, song 7 was briefly played.

It was the chorus part.

But the feeling was different from the demo.

“… … !”

“We are going to proceed with the overall arrangement in this direction.”

Kim Rae-bin, who was standing together and looking at the presentation materials, nodded slightly.

Seeing the person who led the arrangement was satisfied gave a strange feeling of comfort, so the rest of the members were slightly relieved.

‘I couldn’t even sleep because of that.’

They were lucky because Liu Cheng-wu had a car and a driver’s license. I was able to go to the workroom just by texting the manager.

Of course, the manager who woke up in the morning and saw the text message was frightened.

“oh… … .”

The headquarters manager gave a strange exclamation and then nodded his head.

And they clapped.

“Oh, definitely have young and talented friends. Just in one day like this! I even prepared for the presentation~”

‘Looks like you liked it.’

Park Mun-dae held back a snort.

The head of the division gave compliments that didn’t even sound like compliments, saying, “You seem to be better than the kids who joined the company these days,” and finally got to the point.

“Okay~ Let’s proceed like this.”

“thank you!”

“Ah, it’s okay because it’s me. Other general managers and old people don’t know about this~”

Park Moon-dae smiled as sincerely as possible as he saw the condescending general manager.

It was the vibe I was dealing with with the professor.

For reference, the members who saw that scene were exchanging glances from behind, saying, “How much did you want to do number 7?”

“Yes. There is one more thing I want to tell you, trusting the general manager.”

“huh?”

Park Moon-dae turned over one more PPT that he thought was over.

“This is my opinion on the song that the company performed.”

“… … ?”

“Ah, we really liked the concept of a baseball club. Yes?”

“sure!”

“I really wanted to try it once.”

“I heard that the head of the headquarters decided. thank you!”

Park Moon-dae and the members eagerly exchanged responses that were already scheduled.

‘Company people finish it before they wake up.’

“So, how about adding another genre instead of disco to make it feel more like a traditional baseball club?”

“What what?”

Park Moon-dae smiled faintly.

“How about using Rock?”

Two weeks before the official debut date of Testa.

The article was posted on the portal site.

[< Azusa > Testa makes a surprise debut on June 18]

[Large new testa from audition counts down to debut]

[Even Testa (TeSTAR) appeared… The music industry in June]

The date was about five days later than the original debut period, but the fans’ reaction was enthusiastic.

Because there has been no news for the past two weeks.

-Ah finally

-Something must have been going on. phew…

-20 days left. I can finally wait comfortably.

-Nothing has been posted on the kids’ social media except for the first post. Everyone is busy preparing for

an album?

.

-Kids will like it haha There are quite a few members who respect VTIC, right?

-Well, it’s not a completely simultaneous release, and there will be a difference of about a week, so it’s going to be okay.

– I’ll be able to see you again with Mundaengdaeng Cheongryeo

└ Just thinking about

it makes me happy.

It wasn’t that there weren’t fans who expressed dissatisfaction, but the general reaction was to wait and see.

And again a week later.

Less than two weeks left until the comeback.

-Why isn’t anything coming out?

People exploded.

-Aren’t you working at

an

agency

? ;;; There are no eyewitness reports

– I’m sure it’s not like they’re neglecting their kids and swindling their agency’s investment money.

Terrible clouds of war hung over us, as if a statement would be announced at any moment. The improvised agency website was already inaccessible due to traffic overload.

The day when the LAN cable was about to be torn due to the explosion of anger.

-Mimi Crazy something came up (link)

It was midnight that night when the teaser came out.

[TeSTAR (Testa) ‘Magical Boy’ Ofticial Teaser]

“… … .”

On the thumbnail, there were two hands outstretched to the sky. The sky with a subtle mixture of yellow and purple caught my attention.

But when I click play, a black screen suddenly pops up.

Click.

English narration flowed along with subtitles.

[When I was a child, I always went home before the sun went down.]

[There was never a moonlit night in my daily life.]

[And now]

[Looking out the window from inside the classroom.]

[The sunset was setting.]

Charrly-click. .

I heard the sound of a film being played.

At that moment, the sunset sky filled the screen.

Golden and purplish-red sunlight crashed into a mess.

The music box sounded.

♫♪♩♪-♫♪♫♪-♪♩-

The two scales soaked the screen like water droplets and colored them dreamily.

Suddenly, the camera started to move back. A white border surrounded the fantastically colored sky.

It was a window sill with curtains fluttering.

And I saw In-yeong sleeping on the window sill.

[…] … ]

The back view of a dark-haired boy in a white summer school uniform.

There were old gloves and baseballs scattered around.

The boy tossed and turned slightly. The light of the sunset streamed in between them.

♫♪♩♪-♫♪♫♪-♪♩-

The moment the boy’s white school uniform turns pink in the sunset.

The fluttering curtains seemed to open wide, then shone white and shattered like crystals.

Passes…

The transparent crystal fragments poured down on the boy’s back, shooting a purple sunset in all directions.

It was an enchanting feast of colors.

and.

The screen turned black.

[Magical Boy]

[06.18. 00:00]

“… … .”

The 30-second short video ended with that.

However, the terrifying number of views proved the reaction.

[Hits: 5 191 045]

It was crazy momentum.

It is said that even reaching three million took less than a day.

Considering that Testa has no overseas base, it was at the flagship level.

“how is it?”

“Four people… i like you?”

I nodded.

“huh.”

“It’s all good… !”

Ahead of their debut, several members sat down on the floor while detoxing on the internet for their mentality.

The tension was relaxed, and the fatigue seemed to darken his eyes.

‘It’s no wonder.’

Honestly, if the reaction was bad, I would have melted my mentality.

It’s because I’ve been working like a cow with insomnia for the 25th day… .

‘… Still, the date is close.’

In fact, the teaser was supposed to be released a little later. Because the ‘Magical Boy’ music video hadn’t been edited yet.

However, if I waited longer, I thought the people who waited for me would vomit blood due to stress, so everyone tried to speed it up somehow.

‘The agency seemed to finally get scared.’

Anyway, the response was overwhelming… it was good.

-What

‘s wrong with the crazy quality? I’m really embarrassed. Call me my account number

. -Guys, it’s already fun. It’s already a new song

. -What? magical boy? you are my magic… Ahhh

– That’s why there was no news. You were making something like this… Then I can’t help it. Okay, I understand.

– My wallet belongs to Testa. Booked as a teaser.

Not a single scratching comment from fans was noticed. It meant that the reputation was good enough that all dislikes were pushed away.

The teaser came out well in my opinion.

The part to be revealed in the song was well chosen and the directing was appropriate.

‘It was also a good choice to make it so you don’t know who appeared on the show because only the back side came out.’

I didn’t know what would happen if I picked out just one person in the teaser for a group debuting as a survival show.

And above all, the visual beauty that the capital was poured into was excellent. It was like making up for the lack of time with money.

‘I think people’s expectations are too high… The song is good, so I can cover it if I can.’

Additional content will continue to surface within the next few days, so fans will have nothing to worry about.

“… Come on guys, let’s get ready and get ready.”

“yes… … .”

At Ryu Chung-woo’s tired voice, the members lifted themselves up like zombies.

I also threw my smartphone in the public and joined.

“great job. Now the music video… Just filming this song is all it takes.”

“and… … .”

“The schedule will return centering on choreography practice.”

“… … .”

There was no forced march from hell.

“yes!”

In the terrible silence, only Cha Yoo-jin’s answer echoed excitedly.

Then the staff came.

“Setting is complete~”

“Yep!”

Filming for the second music video was in the process of being finished.

In fact, considering that we usually start filming at least a month in advance, there is no such thing as a crazy schedule.

‘… It means that all involved are confirmed all night.’

For your reference, the director who filmed ‘Magical Boy’ also filmed this.

‘The staff at this company are definitely good at their work.’

No wonder where the music video directors came from, they quickly recruited a new, well-known director. It was probably intercepted in the middle of the network.

It was a move worthy of a careerist who ambitiously gathered in T1.

… The problem is that you don’t know when the unexploded bomb called the manager of the headquarters and the Jung-gu heating company system, which is only motivated, will explode.

In particular, I want the person at the top, who was blinded by the unflattering comments of ‘Testa’s agency is here’, to leave the company right away, starting with articles like her debut within a month.

… … Let’s get this out of our heads for now.

I have to work, but I’m just stressed out.

“Did everyone familiarize themselves with the length of the filming?”

“I didn’t know anything in particular.”

“me too!”

“Oh right~ We didn’t have anything special. Sejin hyung-nim must be having a hard time?”

“… not really.”

Lee Se-jin answered unevenly, but did not look uncooperative.

Somehow, both of the music videos I filmed had storylines, so I decided to make good use of my background as a child actor.

‘Hmm, it wouldn’t be bad to put in the wind to work harder.’

I talked to Lee Se-jin.

“Actually, I was a bit impressed when I saw it. … You are doing really well.”

“… … .”

It wasn’t completely empty. I’m sure there’s no time left. It’s the only one of these that didn’t look like a single cut in an unedited state.

“I understand if you feel like Moondae. Because he’s the one who’s embarrassed that only the back of his head is shown in the teaser and he’s alone~”

The nonsense came back from the wrong guy.

When I looked back, Sejin quickly averted his gaze and looked away. That kid is really… .

“… I was going to make a living from it, but I have to do well.”

“yes?”

Lee Se-jin did not answer further. I just followed the staff with a slightly sunken face.

‘Even if I praise it, that’s it.’

I held back a sigh. My stamina was too much to be annoyed with.

“Now, let’s start with the group choreography scene~”

“Yes!”

I set my posture according to the choreography formation and reorganized the schedule in my head.

Originally, the concept photo should have been released first, but the schedule was delayed due to the release of the teaser video, so it was planned to be released around the time the album was released.

‘Then maybe… Reality will be released first.’

In fact, I thought the video trailer would be released in Jeonju at the latest, but even now it feels very late.

And as expected, the reality trailer came up that night.
