Debut or Die

Chapter 551

Episode 551 Bae Se

-jin shivered and looked at the front.

A strange dot picture screen was still floating there.

[Park Moon-dae (?_?+): Deducing your identity!]

“… … .”

“All right!”

I mean, what happened?

Bae Se-jin looked at the big moon in dismay. Keundal was wearing a suit and had a bright expression.

The body returned on its own.

“I… what to do… … .”

“Uh uh uh, take it off slowly as it is in contact! I’m still connecting!”

‘Ugh.’

Bae Se-jin let go of the hand that was holding Keun-dal’s shoulder.

The people who were randomly grabbing the limbs of the Lunar Moon slowly followed the order and separated from the Moon.

However, everyone’s eyes were fixed on the strange window that opened in front of Bae Se-jin.

This… … .

“that… Isn’t there a game about raising a daughter? Do you feel that way?”

“No, but why is Park Moon-dae over there!”

“Hyung-nim, isn’t there anyone here who doesn’t know about that?”

After a sudden and intense reasoning, they came to the conclusion that Bakmundae is like the last time, in a strange virtual world and away.

“By the way… thank god.”

“… … .”

… But why is it called Tamagotchi?

“I tried my best… .”

Big Moon recalled the situation when he caught up across the aisle.

‘Suddenly, the information value of ‘learning’ came in.’

In that situation, I was trying to exert my influence on Park Moon-dae as comfortably as possible, so this format was formed.

[Anyway, I’m glad I found it. phew… .]

Next to Kwon Hee-seung, who was breathing a sigh of relief, on the video call screen, Cha Yoo-jin pointed his finger at him.

“Moondae hyung’s face has changed!”

“… … .”

The big moon observed the screen. And he pointed at himself with a puzzled expression.

“… Iknow, right. Is this your face?”

“that’s right!”

Although the atmosphere was vastly different.

Unlike Keun-dal, who is a tall and good-natured young man, Park Moon-dae has a low quality on the screen… His personality seemed dirty.

No, he looked exhausted.

Instructions come out of the dot.

“… wait for a sec. Why is the kid so snarky?!”

“Is there anything else I can check?”

“Wait a minute.”

Keundal did his best and eventually people were able to see the summary of Moondae’s status organized like a dot game.

Bae Se-jin, who was at the forefront, easily read the information quickly.

‘Park Moon-dae… .’

I have no money, my body hurts, and my mental level is great, but… .

“Your stamina is garbage.”

“… … .”

“No luck at all.”

At Cha Yu-jin’s fact, Keun-dal pressed his eyes with both hands.

Still, people’s atmosphere softened a lot when they indirectly confirmed that Park Mun-dae was alive everywhere.

“Now I just need to know how to get him, right?”

“first… Let’s let them know we’re here and we’re trying to get you.”

But communication that was so complex was almost impossible.

Moreover, it was dangerous for Keundal to judge that it was dangerous to communicate with Park Moon-dae with more information than this.

“For now… I think this is the limit! I think hyung is in a very tired and difficult state… .”

“… … .”

Even ‘connecting’ like this is a situation where one person with a characteristic has to do it in turn.

And for some reason, Bae Se-jin, who was chosen as the first batter, continued to look at the screen with a confused expression.

Seon Ah-hyun raised her hand slightly.

“Then, first of all, let Mundae be healthy… Is there any way to help?”

“I agree! Restoring your health comes first.”

The big moon nodded widely.

“yes! I think I can try something more once I recover! ugh… .”

Bae Se-jin listened intently and saw the speech bubble changing again in front of his eyes.

And I doubted my eyes.

[Park Moon-dae (?_?): Trying to act.]

“… … performance?”

why do you do that… ?

“… Judging from his job status and things like that, it seems like he’s become something of an aspiring actor.”

“… … .”

“… … .”

I wondered what the hell was going on.

Cheong-rye, who watched the situation without a word, put her hand on her chin.

‘The flow of time is different.’

Just like the difference between the game and the real time.

Park Moon-dae, who now appears as a pop-up, had already finished reading the bundle of papers that looked like scripts in a few tens of seconds.

‘About 12 minutes a day.’

Cheong-Ryeo quickly finished the calculation.

In the meantime, Park Mun-dae’s expression on the screen had changed to an astringent expression.

[Park Moon-dae (?=?): Suffering from acting… … .]

Liu Chengyu muttered.

“Moondae… You must be the one who can’t act.”

“… … .”

Park Moon-dae did it like a ghost to shamelessly imitate someone.

However, if you are asked to immerse yourself in a character and express emotions or express complex conflicts… Disastrous results came out.

“Mmm.”

And, reflexively, attention turned to the best performer here.

“hmm.”

Bae Se-jin frowned and pressed Park Moon-dae, who was coming out of the Tamagotchi.

“I… Is there anything I can do for you?”

That was the moment.

[Talents linked to attributes!]

[Would you like to grant blessings?]

“… !?”

* * *

I stared blankly at the pop-up-like hologram in the chat window I was exchanging with Keundal.

It was the first message I saw when I came here.

someone’s signal.

[The concentrating genius actor feels sorry for you.]

‘… actor?’

Keywords such as ‘concentration’ and ‘genius’ are attached to the description.

Besides, considering that the person standing right in front of me was Bae Se-jin from a few years ago… .

Is this… Is it Bae Se-jin in reality?

‘… Sejin hyung?’

But there was no response. It doesn’t seem like a direct conversation.

I waited for the new text to appear in the popup, but after that nothing came up for a few seconds.

“hey.”

“Oh sorry.”

I changed my focus and looked at Bae Se-jin from ‘this side’.

Bae Se-jin, who probably came here to rehabilitate at the end of his break before participating in < Azusa >.

It seemed that he was literally invited to coach rather than appear in person.

‘That guy’s company and affiliates are different, so how… Ah, it seems the director knows each other.’

I said,

“If you try it… I will check and tell you.”

“… hmm.”

I opened the music video script given to me by the staff.

In fact, I didn’t even have an ambassador.

All I had to do was look at the beach and walk with a lonely, sorrowful feeling and throw a bouquet.

And there were only a few lines of instructions to kick the seawater with your feet.

but… That last one.

[C: (Looking back with eyes wanting to talk a lot)

The sea with strong backlighting and contrast shines.]

“… … .”

What the hell does this ‘eyes that want to talk about a lot’ mean?

It was terrifying in many ways.

But since I’m not in a situation where I can say no, I held back a sigh and cleared my brain.

‘Let’s recall the experience of filming a music video.’

I walked as naturally as possible and looked back.

“… … .”

“… … .”

I’m embarrassed, so please say something.

Bae Se-jin, who had dark circles, lowered his eyes.

“… You never studied acting.”

“yes.”

“That’s it.”

what?

“Do the same thing you did before filming.”

And Bae Se-jin, now Lee Se-jin, looked down at the script he was reading.

“… … .”

Hmm.

* * *

[Do you have any acting experience?]

Inside VTIC’s moving van.

Cheong-Ryeo closed her eyes at the unexpected help.

This self-proclaimed ‘self-involved’ tip no longer tries to prove its usefulness at every turn.

However, she wanted to hear about Cheongryeo’s daily life.

– Didn’t you get upset?

On days when the conversation was getting longer, he would throw up consolation or advice.

And sometimes I would ask questions like this.

Now, instead of saying, ‘Why are you asking such a question?’, Cheong-Ryeo responded calmly.

“It has no effect on the group’s success.”

I tried, but it means I lost my hand. Park Moon-dae interpreted it at once.

[…] okay. There are usually one or two members who act in an idol group. Somehow, there was no VTIC.]

Cheong-ryo almost laughed at the moment.

“Usually… From the time a group is formed, there is a position that assigns specific allocations to members.”

he spoke softly.

“We were no exception.”

It meant that VTIC also had members who took acting lessons.

[Who was that?]

“Shin-oh.”

[!!]

Is this surprising?

Cheong-rye slightly averted her gaze and was conscious of Shin-oh, who was sitting diagonally behind her.

A slightly bewildered pop-up appeared.

[It doesn’t look like an acting major.]

“Well. It’s because appearance is more important than current acting skills.”

This is because when an idol agency selects members for actors, they prefer to choose the right appearance and develop their abilities through training.

It wasn’t just about looking good.

The impression is neat. nice skeleton Does the camera capture the atmosphere well?

That was the usual selection criteria.

The peculiar thing is that unlike the idol evaluation, the evaluation was better for the plain type rather than the overly intense type.

“The baseline is different from the stage.”

The help pop-up disappeared for a moment, as if lost in thought.

[okay. Because it has to look more natural and everyday than when performing. It’s normal that the standards are different.]

Hearing the help he repeated as if organizing things, he looked at him with interest.

What idea do you have?

However, instead of continuing the next word, the help was aroused as if to change the topic.

[Still, isn’t acting ability as important as appearance? You could be cursed with smoke.]

“That’s not going to happen.”

[…] ?]

Cheong-ryo put her arm on the window sill.

“Because there won’t be any actor schedules until the contract is renewed anyway.”

[…] … .]

This is because topicality is dispersed.

[If you’re human, be nice to him.]

Cheong-Ryeo smiled a little.

It wasn’t such a bad feeling to exchange sounds like this.

‘hmm.’

Now that the conversation wasn’t regular, Cheong-rye was able to keep a strange distance from the advice.

If you don’t want to delete it right away, this is better.

“Im here.”

“Yes!”

The car stopped and VTIC started to stand up.

Asked for help.

[Recording.]

“Yes.”

But there was no greeting to say good-bye.

Cheong-rye was conscious of that, but moved her steps straight without hesitation.

* * *

‘Naturally’.

After work, I sat in an old one-room and checked the script one more time.

Even so, I checked the pop-up from time to time.

[The concentrating genius actor is concerned about your health.]

However, nothing has changed.

Sometimes ‘a genius actor who concentrates suffers.’ The words were exchanged together, but there was still no feeling of real-time communication.

‘As expected, my thoughts and words are conveyed.’

… Mouth was a bit bitter.

What’s surprising, though, is that the pop-up, though blurry, remained when I accessed the system. It was good to try it with a little adventurous spirit.

therefore… … to sum it up.

Maybe.

‘Isn’t this a fairly high probability that the message from reality is correct?’

And if so, you might find a way to communicate somehow.

… Just the thought of it made me feel pretty good.

“hmm.”

I got up and walked around the narrow room.

‘Actually, you don’t have to be that good at acting.’

This is just something I do to collect real-life information, so if I do well like a real actor, I might be taken to Korea right away.

… However, if what I was doing was not at the proper level, that was a problem.

Even in this case, you can be taken to Korea. What if I told you to return home soon and take acting lessons?

‘no.’

Besides that.

‘… … When I started acting, the pop-up came out.’

It might be because I met Bae Se-jin, but as long as I didn’t know what the cause was, I had to hold on to acting.

‘So the bottom line is practice.’

And I thought I had properly chosen the route in which direction I should practice.

– It should be a natural and everyday movement, but it should look atmospheric.

In a word, it means to be natural enough to be everyday, but at the same time, move in a cool way.

‘It’s like a designer’s request to be simple but splendid.’

But Nogada does not betray. If you focus on your body movements and practice repeatedly, you will probably do something similar someday.

The stumbling block… .

The point is that the body condition is garbage.

‘Ah damn it.’

I sighed as I walked.

Being natural and concentrating at the same time for a long period of time was physically impossible with this body condition.

Especially without the stage adrenaline.

‘I’ll hold on to this for three minutes.’

Unlike the stage, the tempo was long and the high-density impact wasn’t banging, but it was more of a desire.

‘It’s hard to concentrate.’

Would you bite your tongue?

“Whew.”

I hit the empty sea with my feet.

A few days went by in an instant, and the shooting day finally arrived.

And I met Bae Se-jin here again.

“hello.”

“… yes. hello.”

I still have a bad expression.

I asked him directly.

“I practiced, but there was something bothering me. The coach said before, ‘Do it.’”

“… … .”

“Did you say that because you tried to practice more, but there was no answer?”

“… I beg your pardon? I don’t mean that.”

Bae Se-jin frowned.

“I heard you never studied acting.”

“yes.”

“Then it’s better not to be conscious of it and just do it like back then. Because there are no lines.”

“… … .”

“Then do it.”

It was similar to the advice I gave to Sejin the Great when I was making a game for an album before.

I realized his intentions.

‘I was trying to give you accurate advice.’

However, it was Bae Se-jin’s way that it sounded like they were fighting against their intentions.

“yes. thank you.”

“… … . no. It’s for money.”

It’s really consistent.

Instead of being angry, I shrugged my shoulders and moved my feet, feeling a little nostalgic.

what good Then let’s do it really moderately.

“I’m going in there now~”

“Yes.”

I stepped onto the sandy beach.

‘I need to get an ok quickly.’

distrusting my stamina.

however.

[A genius actor who concentrates blesses you!]

[Attribute: Concentration]

“… ??”

That moment.

Suddenly, my whole body started to feel light.

* * *

Walk on the beach.

My body moved naturally without being conscious of anything.

He has a bouquet of flowers in his hand.

Bouquets are rather non-daily objects, so it is more natural to not be too conscious of them. Let it just sway in your hand.

“after.”

The sea was visible beyond the sighing breath.

It was –

the sun was setting.

“… … .”

I stopped.

I don’t know why this person came to the beach for some reason.

‘doesn’t care.’

So you just have to act clearly as instructed.

naturally.

I threw the bouquet lightly into the sea water.

Took.

As you concentrate, the bouquet falls on the beach while drawing a beautiful parabola.

I hugged myself gently.

Then take a break and go back.

Took… .

Kick the waves lightly with your feet.

There is no indication that you are angry.

So like touch. a little cautious.

“… … .”

And after taking my feet off, I turn around, conscious of the fact that I am standing facing the sun.

Steady toward the memorized camera position.

swish

Just once.

The only time your eyes meet the camera. It gives a sense of vitality.

Just like it did on stage.

“… … .”

I realized that I had completed the whole process as planned and without a hitch.

It wasn’t like throwing everything out, but the decision was focused.

‘Was it like this?’

I looked at the camera silently without blinking.

A world of conscious concentration.

It may be a superficial glance at what Bae Se-jin fell for in acting, but he seemed to know.

and.

“Cut! It goes like this.”

The outside of the camera started to move again.

The cut ended with a buzz and buzz.

“thank you.”

I bowed my head and got off in front of the camera.

“Are you okay?”

“The take is more than I thought… .”

Over the sound of the staff talking, coach Bae Se-jin was looking this way with her eyes wide open.

And maybe another Bae Se-jin too.

[The concentrating genius actor declares that this is enough!]

[The concentrating genius actor sponsored you!: Energy +]

Your body fills up with energy and the headache gradually subsides.

‘ah.’

No matter how much I think about it, it seems that the real people are sending this message.

Coach Bezezin opened his mouth.

“… how.”

I smiled faintly.

“Thank you for being a good coach.”

It was the truth without a single lie.

* * *

Meanwhile, the JSA.

“Whoa!”

“Let’s go like this!”

“Who should do it next? ?”

Celebrating the successful outcome, a formal plan was quickly established.

‘I have to recover quickly and bring him back!’

It is also known as raising Park Moon-dae.
