Debut or Die

Chapter 454

If you don’t debut, you’ll get sick to death Episode 454

Let’s think about what will happen when Testa goes to LeTi.

Advantages first.

‘That I’ve already done it.’

The point is that I already know everything about the company president and how the planning team works.

I even did a debut survival there.

Even though it was a few years ago and it was like a virtual simulation created by the system.

‘Adaptation will be quick.’

And since LeTi is a large company that even went public, there is a low probability that there will be a problem with taking care of Testa’s name value.

furthermore… .

‘There are no male idol rookies.’

At least while VTIC is in the military, there is a high probability that Testa will receive a fairly decent investment.

‘It’s just a few years of time.’

With T1 Stars sinking, this seemed like a very good option.

‘As long as the terms of the contract are adjusted well, maintaining the color of Testa is also worth trying.’

however… There was a very crucial problem. absolutely non-negotiable.

So my answer is only one.

After all this thought was finished within 30 seconds, I responded immediately.

-it’s okay. congratulations thank you

yeah don’t go

Then, not long after, the answer came back.

-VTIC Cheong Ryeo senior: It’s a pity

-VTIC Cheong Ryeo senior: What comes as a label?

what

-Are you available on the phone?

I got a call after a short text.

“Seniors.”

– Junior.

There’s no need for this guy to release the phone recording, but since I don’t know what will happen, I started talking politely.

“What do you mean by label?”

– I mean literally. um it’s difficult

A soft voice spoke.

-I was thinking of making a label under LeTi.

“… !”

-Most famous agencies have their own color. It would be burdensome for Testa to belong directly to such a place.

-I thought it wouldn’t be bad if I could make albums as I wanted at an independent label like now.

Cheong-Ryeo made a sound that fit snugly, as if scratching an itch.

and recommended again.

-Testa seemed to be the perfect group for this label, so I contacted them. is not it?

“… … .”

I opened my mouth.

“That label.”

-yes.

“Is it an advantage that Testa can do the planning as he wants?”

-Yes. And it will be easier to work with. The company system is well organized.

“yes.”

There must be a system he has set up.

Obviously, it is not to say that the planning is autonomous.

but.

“But isn’t it the LeTi headquarters that coordinates promotions and schedules, not the label?”

-… … .

“And LeTi is your senior’s agency.”

Yes. What does it mean to go to LeTi.

I took my smartphone away from my face and looked down at the name of the person on the call.

[VTIC Cheong Ryeo senior]

… It means that this guy can hold the testa schedule in his hands and roll it.

Even if I tried to do it now, it would be difficult to defeat a guy who worked for the agency for 10 years in just a few months.

Especially if the opponent has repeatedly attacked the same company dozens or hundreds of times.

‘I’m not even an X god.’

It is foolish to give the power of life and death to the hands of competitors.

‘But from a competitor’s point of view, it’s an absolute advantage.’

That’s why this guy also suggested it.

I remembered Cheongryeo’s strange text at the year-end awards ceremony last year.

video attached.

-The video was about a dog receiving a new cushion as a gift instead of a broken one.

new cushion.

‘Did you mean a new company’s new house?’

Maybe from then on, I might have been measuring the angle with a rough grasp of the T1 spinning board.

It’s pissing me off that I’m behind in fucking intelligence, but anyway, that guy’s behavior was obvious.

‘I calculated it.’

It means that this bastard is not a grown man, and of course he proposed to benefit.

And after a short silence.

A soft voice was heard again.

– You’re still smart.

Isn’t it stupid not to know

– Well, there’s nothing for juniors to worry about though. I have no intention of doing anything bad.

“Even if the moment comes between VTIC and Testa?”

– It can’t be. I’ll choose a good schedule so that we don’t interfere with each other. Then, juniors only need to have a good agency.

“… … .”

-Isn’t that a good thing for everyone?

I looked down at my smartphone. Then, after rolling his hair fiercely and briefly, he opened his mouth again.

“… Let me think about it.”

-ah.

In effect, it would have sounded like a declaration of surrender.

His tone became more friendly.

– Well thought out.

“By the way, can’t you spread some rumors to raise the ransom?”

-hmm?

“It’s a rumor from an official that Testa won’t renew the contract.”

Just in the form of a chirashi so that the company doesn’t get suspicious. But outsiders are best if they can be dubious.

I dutifully gave my reason.

“Wouldn’t LeTi take care of something more if there was some competition? I think that would be the best way to get the terms of the contract right.”

-hmm.

Cheong-rye briefly agreed as if he knew.

‘good.’

If rumors spread like this… .

– Junior. I do not intend to come.

“… … .”

ghost kid.

‘I got it right away.’

Yes.

I have no intention of going to LeTi if possible. No matter how you think about it, you’re sticking your head in that guy’s mouth.

I don’t think that guy will come and install Ohhamma now. However, this is not such a problem, but the aspect of risk management.

Besides, think about it. To LeTi, the VTIC agency that Testa has been fighting like a dog since his debut?

‘The fans will all rot inside.’

I would have the same thoughts as I do, but isn’t it natural to want to choose a better option if possible.

‘I’m going to have to bet something to see a deal by spreading rumors.’

Let’s go and see

I shook my head and tried to open my mouth, but the person on the phone spoke first.

-what… great. It’s not difficult either.

“… !”

Surprisingly, he readily agreed.

Of course, that wasn’t the point.

-But I want you to remember that my offer is valid until the contract renewal.

“yes. I will.”

As expected, I accepted it obediently to gain the momentum to say that. But I’m willing to agree.

I was so convinced, but Cheong-ryeo suddenly changed her words.

-hmm. I don’t think I need to say anything like that.

“what… .”

is it sound

Then, a laughing voice was heard over the smartphone.

-The more you contact me, the more I will think of you. this offer.

“… … .”

– I will send you the terms and conditions of the contract by e-mail. Congratulations once again, junior.

And after a few days, subtle contact from big and small agencies began.

* * *

“As Moondae said, they really come quite a bit.”

“… I know.”

Each member is holding a smartphone and looking at the proposals that came over through their personal connections.

First of all, the ones who came to Bae Se-jin are several agencies that manage a wide range of actors and idols.

Perhaps because he is the leader, Ryu Chung-woo had a lot of contacts, and Keun Se-jin originally had many suitable agencies that idols choose when renewing contracts.

‘I can see the personality of the network.’

And Rabin Kim… .

“… ? Hip hop label. Why are you making an offer here… ?”

“Hmm, did you have ambitions to become an idol group?”

It is said that Raebin Kim is a close friend of the AR team, who treats Raebin Kim as the youngest, but I will bet on my smartphone.

‘And I… .’

There were some calls from me as well, but there were a lot of bad relationships.

‘I also sent these children.’

Gold 1 and Choi Won-gil belong to the Golden Age group. The place where industrial espionage made a fuss.

I said ‘Hello. I am Park Min-jung, the team leader of Traveler Entertainment. I apologize again for the past… … I read the long KakaoTalk pop-up that starts with ‘.’ without clicking.

It’s a bit embarrassing, but it’s definitely a good agency, so I decided to remember it.

‘The minus factor is that if Testa goes, the golden age, position, and years will match, so it will be a mess… .’

As I was thinking that far, I heard a question from the side.

“By the way, how did you spread rumors at Moondaemundae?”

“… … .”

“huh?”

now… It’s time to share.

I explained the invitation I received a few days ago.

And there was an explosive reaction.

“Le LeTi??”

“… Senior Cheongryeo… … .”

“I hate it there. “Of all the people I’ve met in my life, I like the darkest things. Don’t you seriously consider that, bro?]”

I never thought Cha Yu-jin would talk so long and intelligently.

I briefly summarized the situation.

“I said I wasn’t going. But since he said he would consider it, he gave up the rumor.”

“after.”

Sejin sighed deeply and sat down on the sofa. I also pressed my forehead.

“In the first place, we were going to move together, but I must have concluded that I would go alone. Of course you should discuss… .”

“Come on, let’s vote now! Who doesn’t want to go to LeTi?”

Five people raised their hands. I touched my forehead.

“Uh uh, don’t you listen?”

I have it baby

In the middle of the living room where the conclusion was ‘I’m not going to LeTi’ so hotly, Kim Rae-bin asked me a small question with a slightly embarrassed face.

“… I remember it as a good agency, but don’t I?”

“… … .”

Indeed, from head to toe, he was a guy who would have liked LeTi.

After that, there were meaningful contacts in a few places, but the problem was that the time limit was approaching.

‘I have to choose quickly.’

Since each member has different things that he thinks are ‘must have’, there were few agencies that met all of them.

In addition, most of them have disadvantages or risk factors.

It would be difficult to take care of because it is too small, or it is too big to have a male idol in the same position, or it is too individualistic to handle a testa.

Looking at it like this, LeTi, who had been carrying an independent label since the first hit, was definitely a fairy.

‘X feet.’

I scratched my head. It wasn’t because Cheongryeo was confident for nothing.

‘Yeah, let’s say I’m going to LeTi.’

Anyway… The fundamental problem is impossible to solve anywhere.

‘… Testa name.’

The name group concept. All these trademarks and copyrights were already owned by the agency, T1 Stars.

I mean how should I do that?

“I… Are you still cleaning up?”

“hmm.”

Seon Ah-hyun sat across from the table. I put aside the piece of paper on which I randomly wrote the keywords, but it seems that he has already seen it.

-Continued with the testa name

… with this keyword.

“I want to keep writing my name… You are worried.”

“… … .”

“Wouldn’t it be really bad if I talk to the company well… ? If we can buy the right… That would be nice.”

“… would be nice.”

But I won’t give it to you. Even with an astronomical amount, the chances are slim.

This is because the decision maker is not one individual, but several stakeholders.

I explained that part to Seon Ah-hyun. Sun Ah-hyun listened calmly and nodded her head.

“Even if it’s difficult, try… Let’s do it.”

“… … okay.”

“Yes. Maybe the company has other circumstances, so you can allow it… !”

“… … .”

other matter?

At that moment, there is a thought that passed through my head like lightning.

‘Do you not sell trademark rights?’

then… Wouldn’t it be enough to make ‘other circumstances’ to sell?

I nodded.

“yes. thanks.”

“… … .”

“I knew what to do.”

“… Yes?”

I spoke comfortably to Seon Ah-hyun, who had a puzzled expression.

“This company must go out of business.”

“… !?”

How could you make it so simple?

“Are you dumb?”

thanks. Seon Ah-hyun.

And the next day I tried to contact both guys.

[Spacer Kwon Hee-seung]

[Mirinae Park Min-ha]

They were the guys from the agency’s group who were in the same situation.

-Spacer Kwon Hee-seung: ???

-Spacer Kwon Hee-seung: What is the identity of this group chat room?

– Spacer Kwon Hee-seung: Is it a variety show?

-Mirinae Park Min-ha: Hello, senior!

I started typing straight away.

-Hello -Do

you like this company

?

‘Let’s cut all the food lines.’

The answer is… the company is doomed
