Debut or Die

Chapter 496

If you don’t debut, you’ll get a fatal disease Episode 496

2 weeks ago.

Around the time Moondae Park had just finished filming Testa’s own content.

Cheongryeo was in the middle of finishing preparations for a comeback.

“Is the interview next?”

“yes!”

Preparation went smoothly.

The officials of LeTi acted as if the first virtue was that all activities of Cheongryeo proceeded without error.

“Because you’ve been waiting for me since before. As quickly as possible… .”

“iced coffee! yes.”

This is because Cheongryeo is a celebrity who takes care of herself so thoroughly.

Even though he was office-like, he was a gentle and temperamental type without any irritation, but it was also true that he was never easy to deal with around him.

‘hmm.’

Cheongryeo knew this, but she didn’t change her attitude so that people could be relieved.

‘I listen to people who are in difficulty rather than those who are comfortable.’

It was a grammar completed by inductive statistics after numerous attempts.

After all, Cheong-rye was not the type to feel comfortable and belong only when she shared her daily life.

At least, I suddenly wanted to talk about my dog-Kongi, but it didn’t matter because I had a partner.

Cheong-rye checked the time and called the ‘opponent’.

However, this time, Kong wasn’t trying to send a picture like the text message he sometimes sends.

“… … .”

After a short ringback tone, the other party answered.

“Did you finish filming your own content?”

-yes. Seniors.

It is Park Moondae.

What’s interesting is that this junior always uses honorifics whenever he calls or texts.

It’s not that there hasn’t been a history of conversations in half-speak so far.

It is habitual precision.

‘That’s not bad either.’

A vigilant attitude won’t hurt you anywhere.

Cheong-rye thought a little pleasantly.

So it’s a pleasure to work with such a proven resource.

Soon, Park Moon-dae’s calm words of congratulations were heard.

– Congratulations on your solo album comeback.

“thank you.”

Chung-rye, who lightly responded to the voices that many people have heard over the past few days, went straight to the point.

“The time to prepare for the things we agreed to at that time is approaching.”

-… … .

“I told you last time, but my juniors aren’t going to feature on songs from my album.”

-yes.

Cheong-Ryeo almost laughed involuntarily, recalling Park Moon-Dae, who was embarrassed at the time, but continued talking without expressing it.

The way you choose to feature.

“I have a program to go out this time, so let’s go together.”

-… !

“Maybe you will like it too.”

Chung-Ryeo finished the calculation.

“The program name… … .”

* * *

< Nice to meet you! >

MBS variety show airing on Saturdays at 5:40 pm.

It is one of the few long-running contest programs on public television where singers can appear.

Just by looking at the title, it seems like a typical on-air program that introduces talented unknown singers or masters active in genres other than pop music?

‘That’s the correct answer.’

right. The style that airwaves like.

But it is also only half correct.

‘Because I can’t get ratings just by doing that.’

what do i need to do to sell it

The answer is simple.

‘It’s not a tie-in.’

Not only artists in fields that are not popular, but also famous established singers who are aiming for an album or performance publicity effect appear as cast members.

And if you make two cast members perform in pairs, you can draw a variety of pictures.

With this, it is a program that has been living long enough to have season 7.

The cast lineup was still pretty fancy, but the middle-aged people settled down as the main viewers, so it had a bit of an old taste… … .

‘By the way, this guy is coming out here?’

I glanced at Cheongryeo.

It was too crowded and crowded for VTIC to appear.

If he has a name like that, he just comes out when it’s not enough to make his own special feature?

‘hmm.’

Of course, there must be a number of goals.

I remembered his answer to my straight-forward question, “Why did you choose this program?”

-There is something I want to show you.

Well, so today I came to a pre-meeting for this program.

By the way, even though the main PD here pushed in for season 3 and was over 7, they say that they are continuing only this without producing a new program, let alone handing over the program to a junior PD… .

After talking, I can see why.

“Oh, nice to meet you. Mr. Moondae My nephew is a fan, so please sign the album for me. Don’t give away what’s left over, make a new one.”

“sure.”

you’re screwed

Well, I’m not going to continue because I have a sense of mission, but I’ll bet that I just sat down after seeing the cost-effectiveness.

Still, even if I raised the value of my name as an idol to the top, it was funny that the broadcasting station PD was the best.

At the very least, I wonder where it’s not to be treated carelessly, but the attitude is different from VTIC, which has an insane level of overseas recognition.

“And our Hallyu star VTIC! It’s an honor to be here again. i look forward to.”

“Haha, thank you for taking care of me.”

‘As expected, the answer is gukppong.’

It was the best for this typical old man. Looking at the PD, I nodded my head inwardly.

‘Let’s see if we release the next album.’

Just in time to hunt for the Order of Cultural Merit, the target is the lethal dose of gukppong.

Anyway, the fan who asked for an autograph was not guilty. Why don’t you come into the waiting room as a chance for the PD family?

I carefully signed the extra album I brought, just in case, and the PD quickly took it and started talking about the program.

“So, the two of you are performing together… . But how did you two become friends like this?”

“Ah, when we debuted at Mundae, we did variety shows together. That program was also MBS.”

“… Ah~ I remember! I see.”

‘I don’t remember.’

You have a good social life.

After all, if you want to succeed enough to sit on your butt on a program that aired on the airwaves, you must be like that.

“Anyway, I’m very happy that our program is hosting you two like this.”

And as expected, instead of specifically mentioning the entertainment show, the PD blurted out his words and then slowly brought out what he wanted to say.

“But they both have the same job and have similar images, so what? I’m worried that it will be ambiguous to include that climax in the length, but is it okay?”

uh. Okay.

just… At the point where two group 1 idols from other groups form a team, the topic is already explosive.

The climax is what freezes to death.

‘It’s good.’

It means that if two famous idols are going to come out, they want to split the episodes and distribute them separately and prolong the ratings.

‘Yes, no.’

And, needless to say, Cheong-rye, the person in charge, answered immediately.

“yes. You don’t have to worry about that part.”

“… Oh okay.”

You seem confident.

It was convenient that I didn’t have to open my mouth. It’s okay to work with a full-time guy.

“And I heard that our chief delivered it in advance. this… .”

“Ah yes yes.”

After that, there was no useless bait.

The meeting flowed smoothly while talking with the program writer and sub-PD. I pretended to listen intently, nodding my head and thinking.

‘That’s why this guy wants to use me to put on some kind of stage.’

And this question will soon be solved.

right after the meeting.

A conference room in the LeTi building, 20 minutes from the station.

“I’ll show you the music video first.”

Cheong-rye turned on the projector and immediately started discussing the stage composition.

Originally, a scene with such a concept should be included in the program shooting, but due to the problem of practice time, it is often at the level of reenactment.

‘It’s a tight script.’

So I would understand that.

“It’s a rough edit, but it’s at a level where there’s only an intro and no credits. There is no problem with juniors understanding the concept of the album… .”

“wait for a sec.”

The flow is a bit strange.

“It’s not the stage outline, why is your music video all of a sudden.”

“hmm?”

If the stage we’re going to perform isn’t even a song from the album, why are you sitting there bragging about your soon-to-be-released MV?

However, Cheong-Ryeo calmly answered with an expression that asked if she was asking such an obvious question.

“It’s a program stage for the purpose of promoting an album, so of course I have to make my title come to mind as soon as I see it.”

“… … .”

“This title itself is the concept that will be the base for our stage, so watch it now and familiarize yourself with it. Because I can’t send you the music video file before it’s released.”

OK.

‘My head is working fine.’

I held my breath and shook my head.

I thought that I had agreed to cooperate with this guy on stage instead of making noise.

It’s because I said that I would unilaterally follow the stage composition this guy made in terms of not damaging my image.

But only if the vision is this clear.

‘I don’t know if it’s a high-pitched shuttle or not.’

No, I think that would be better than using a concept that doesn’t fit.

I clicked my tongue and stared at the screen of the MV he was playing.

A charred marble floor.

In the middle of the floor of the old-fashioned art gallery, which has become ruins, there is a spot where paints are mixed up like a mess.

Lying alone on it is Cheongnyeo.

[…] … .]

The contrasting image slowly passed to the viewpoint in the sky.

I heard the wind.

and.

[The devil is in the details]

A meaningful phrase pops up and the song starts soon.

[Ash]

The title of Chung Ryeo’s solo album.

-Oh maybe we’re just in pain

Medium tempo in faint minor key.

And a jazzy accompaniment.

-Ashes to ashes dust to dust. From the introduction

of the same Story

And love is dead

into the ashes,

a very addictive chorus is thrown.

And a slow humming before going into verse. And offbeat choreography.

The choreography performed on ashes in bare feet, turtlenecks, and black slacks seems to have power in itself, pulling and pushing the camera and changing angles.

Maybe it’s because the guy with the best proportions and physique manages his body shape to the limit, so the minimal one is the most impressive.

‘Damn it.’

form doesn’t die

I was about to bite my tongue.

The difficult task of mixing impressive choreography with easy listening to the song was done properly.

Besides that.

this choreography.

‘It’s rather easy to just follow the movements, but it’s a difficult choreography to create a feeling.’

It means that there are many people who try the challenge and it is good for the people who evaluate it to line up.

It was already good in my eyes.

-This person

is

really similar

to Cheongryeo

.

Challenge videos to run.

‘It’s the best choice for soloists who are confident in dancing.’

It was the most ideal result if I could make it.

No matter how much Testa puts off enlisting, some of them will go to the army within a few years, and Cha Yoo-jin and Ryu Chung-woo will have to do solo or unit work.

There is even a competitive spirit to see if they can plan a result as refined as this.

“… … .”

I shut my mouth and watched the music video to the end.

The background and costumes gradually became more splendid, but at the end, the ashes were caught again, and the tempo control was great.

-And love is the end.

The scene abruptly ended with a blue sky standing on black water in a dark space.

And the culprit, Cheong-Ryeo, smiled and opened her mouth only after the music video was edited.

“I like it?”

I skipped over to the subjective question without even asking for an objective opinion.

‘I’m confident.’

is it?

I nodded my head politely.

“uh.”

“… … .”

“It was well made.”

why are you surprised

‘I have to admit what I have to admit.’

It’s meaningless to fight pride when we have to work together anyway.

‘It’s not like the comeback times overlapped.’

But that’s it.

“It’s hard for me to capture the feeling of this choreography.”

“hmm?”

“I’m just saying this just in case, but it’s better not to ask me to implement a similar choreography feeling like this in two weeks.”

This is advice for stage quality.

‘This is a level of perfection that can barely be twisted, even though it’s dance grade A or higher.’

Moreover, this program is a program featuring established singers.

It means that such a narrative that people will understand even if you try hard and show your growth, like a debut survival story, is just funny.

If I do a choreography similar to this one, I have to be good enough not to break this concept unconditionally.

But in reality, it wasn’t worth it.

‘It’s just a high -pitched shuttle.’

However, Cheong-rye burst into laughter.

“Haha, I think I decided to do whatever I wanted for this stage, didn’t I?”

“… … .”

Are you serious?

“just joke.”

The guy split the room and knocked on the table as if counting with his fingers.

“Everyone should do what they are good at… It must be worth having an agreement with your junior.”

okay.

“I still have to do the basics.”

“… ?”

Cheongryeo asked lightly.

“How many hours have you practiced a day?”

And the amount of < Azusa > level practice fell on his head.
