Celebrity Life Misunderstood as a Genius

[3] Reverse Betting(3)

Girl group Luna and Solar.

Looking at the composition of the members of the two groups, I got a rough feeling.

How much power are you giving to only one side?

Compared to Luna, who shows off her girl-crush charm centering on popular trainee Ryusia.

The main vocalist with no high notes, Jammin, Hellchanging Girl, 6-month-old foreigner, and one remaining.

[If you don’t fix your anger control disorder, you’ll be damned]

“This is… Debut group profile?”

It is not an official profile, but an unofficial data book obtained by a junior employee.

If the company staff evaluates it like this, how much is it?

No, I think most other people would think the same.

Everyone can’t help but feel like they’re going to fail.

I scratched the itchy back of my neck and carefully checked other information.

“Here, senior.”

“Ah, Mr. Sangmo. Are you sure you sent me your profile?”

“Yes, that’s right!”

“Wow… I have nothing to say.”

“Thank you for your concession!”

“…”

Do you hear that kind of sound when you hand over these materials?

I’m not an idiot, so what’s the point of conceding to a junior I’m not close with?

This company says that the thickness of the pay envelope varies according to performance.

‘Is this right?’

Honestly, I wonder if it’s right to make this choice because of the jinx.

If everyone else is right, then everyone has a reason.

“Senior, it’s already been announced!”

“Oh yeah?”

Juniors holding out their smartphones without hiding their excitement at all.

[Announcement of Road Manager Personnel for Artist 2 Headquarters]

⦁ Affiliation: Management Team 1

-4-member girl group Luna ＜Team member Ji Sang-mo＞

-5-member girl group Solar ＜Team member Jeong Su-ho＞

When I saw the announcement on the official website, I sighed.

Isn’t it common for sunlight to be above moonlight?

Are you just openly revealing that Luna is the main group?

“If I get a performance bonus, I’ll treat you to a meal! hahahaha.”

“Yes, it’s an extreme job, but I have to earn money.”

“Ah senior, please speak comfortably.”

“Is that so?”

“Yeah!”

I don’t know the exact date, but Luna will debut first.

Personally, I think I will definitely achieve results.

The size of the budget for promotions already entered at the company level was different.

‘… Wait and see.’

Will this crazy dungchok raise the other side’s hand again this time?

Like the 4th team, no matter how much the company pushes, it will go bankrupt.

“Senior, but you’ve been scratching your head ever since.”

“It’s just a habit since childhood.”

“Aha.”

If Luna ever fails, it might be my fault.

It was clear from the gentle tickle on the back of her neck.

“Jeong Soo-ho.”

“Yeah?”

Momentarily, she heard Team Leader Park Chul-min’s voice from behind and turned her head.

“You’re much more stupid than you thought?”

“…”

Tight muscle hyung’s way of speaking is too straightforward.

“Well, it’s your choice, so you have to respect it.”

“… Thank you.”

“The schedule for her solo debut has been set.”

“Ah.”

I gulped and waited for Park’s next words.

“Three months later.”

“…”

I haven’t even prepared a song yet, but the schedule was so tight.

He said that it was a contrasting concept, but the discrimination was too severe.

‘Three months from now…’

Just give me time to practice.

To choreograph and shoot a music video.

“Jeong Soo-ho, follow me. I’m going to the A&R department to find a pitched song.”

“Yes. Chief.”

“Sangmo says hello to the Luna members when he has free time.”

“All right.”

* * *

Q&G label office building.

The trainees rubbed their sleepy eyes and appeared in the training room.

A total of 9 debutants were naturally torn in half to form a team.

“What about Juhee and Somi?”

“Well, it’s a day off after a long time.”

“Um, that’s right.”

Maybe one is exercising, and one is at Summoner’s Rift.

Solar’s prospective leader sighed and told the rest of the members.

“We have a manager who will be in charge of us.”

“It must be team 1, right?”

“Yes. Road manager Jung Soo-ho.”

“Ah.”

I don’t want to believe in superstition, but it was something everyone avoided.

“Hey, the one from Dream Agency?”

“That’s right.”

Rumors circulated that the company disbanded the 4th team because of bad luck.

Although it is childish, there were also those who said that it was a ‘death to die’ team and disappeared.

“Why do you have to…”

It is still a daily practice in the entertainment industry to hold a ceremony with a pig’s head in front of it.

If you have enough work and skills, all that remains is luck and timing.

The saying that heaven determines success or failure is not a joke.

No one could be sure of success on this floor.

“He… Said he wanted to avoid the Luna kids unconditionally.”

“That’s it.”

“Could this be discrimination?”

“Eunseo, be careful with your words.”

“No, to be honest, it’s kind of like that. It’s too much.”

“It’s not like that.”

The only person I’m thankful for recognized my value in an isolated castle.

It was the first employee who rated them highly in the company.

“He chose us himself.”

“Yes?”

Yeji was also well aware of the incentive system of the Q&G label.

If he was an office worker, he would have no reason not to choose Luna.

“You rejected Luna and chose us.”

“…Why did you do that?”

“Did you say you saw the potential?”

“Poop.”

At that time, Luna, who was listening beside her, and a member of her debut group sneaked in.

“Oh, sorry. I didn’t know.”

“You just…”

“No, that’s a bit strange. There’s no one in the company who doesn’t know our circumstances.”

“That’s.”

Kids who were tied up in the same debut group until not too long ago.

After being torn apart due to the circumstances of adults, the relationship became estranged.

“Hey, did you just laugh at us?”

“Eunseo, stop.”

“Leave your sister.”

“…”

Not holding very much.

It’s okay to go and fight.

“Oh, do you want to let go?”

“… Do not do that.”

“Let it go soon, won’t it?”

“…”

No, because I’m not holding it.

Rather, you are holding it.

“I’ll let go because my wrist hurts.”

“You guys, I’m giving special consideration to my sister!”

“Yes, yes~”

Luna’s debut group trainees left the practice room as if to avoid a mad dog.

“Oh, they weren’t like that before.”

“Yeah, what.”

Back then, we were planning to debut together.

Things have changed a lot from now.

The other side was called a promising star, Q&G and the hope of the 2nd headquarters.

Solar’s debut team just gathered the remaining members.

“We lack a lot.”

“What is it, unnie, why do you say that? Unnie sings the best!”

“…The vocal range is narrow.”

“Ah, the tone is crazy.”

His looks and singing skills are excellent, but his high pitched voice was too lacking.

Yeji Kim was always evaluated in front of her vocal trainers.

“How many singers can sing well even if they can’t raise their high notes!”

“Since I’m the main vocalist, I have to do better.”

“…”

At that time, another member who was silently holding his seat opened his mouth.

“Here, sister.”

“Yes?”

Yeji raised her eyes at Diana’s words.

She doesn’t talk much enough to want to be serious usually.

“Is our song coming out now?”

“Yes. It will probably be confirmed today.”

“Um…”

The pronunciation wasn’t bad for a foreigner, but it was still a bit clumsy.

“Confirmed? Extended?”

“Ah, so… Fix!”

“Five.”

Team leader Park Cheol-min told me that there are two candidate songs.

It’s not that I can’t pick one song out of ten like Luna.

“Probably bring two songs.”

“Then can we choose between the two?”

“Well, I guess I’m just asking for your opinion.”

“Ah, what is that?”

Still, where is the opportunity given to her to debut?

I heard Luna already filmed her music video and waited for her debut.

“I envy the Luna kids.”

“There’s nothing to envy. We’ll be debuting soon too.”

“Yes. We debut too!”

There was no need to compare them with other girl groups.

It’s only three months until debut.

Because I have a strong manager.

“Let’s do our best.”

“Yes!”

* * *

Certainly, composers these days are all excellent.

It will depend on your personal tastes and preferences though.

Because skills and levels have been leveled upwards, there is no discrimination.

Ballad-style soft dance song ＜Fairy Tale＞

.

Addictive hip-hop dance song ＜Only Look at Me＞

.

Aside from personal taste, it was technically impossible to distinguish superiority and inferiority.

“Hmm, both are good.”

“…”

However, as always, a beggarly firm taste held her back.

I can’t understand why I’m doing this either.

Both songs are great and good to listen to by ear.

‘The chorus of the second song is too repetitive…’

Sabi that repeats infinitely.

This comes out too much.

As one annoyed me, the other flaws began to catch my eye.

[Hey, look at me! Look only at me, Du-bi-du Bab! Look forward to it, New Generation! You will be surprised?]

Why are the lyrics like this again?

Is this a pure concept?

My goddamn chook strongly warned me never to pick this song.

“Hey, these lyrics are a bit…”

“Isn’t it trendy? It is said that lyricist Kim Young-eun wrote it.”

“Eh?”

“These days, it accurately shot the youthful sensibility.”

“…”

Sensei, I don’t have the confidence to keep up with trends all my life.

‘Is it just that my tastes are strange?’

Basically, when the second song fails, it feels like there is no going back.

Unlike A&R Sung Ji-hoon, team leader Park Chul-min had the same thoughts as me.

“Both songs have good melodies, but personally, the first one is better.”

“Oh yeah?”

“Just look at me, I think this song will have a lot of likes and dislikes.”

“Well, there is a side to it.”

Music that seems like if you fail even once, the next opportunity will never come.

Rather than feeling luxurious, it gave off a feeling of cheapness.

Even after I finished listening to the song, the chorus lingered in my ears.

It was not suitable to be written as the debut song of a girl group with a cute and innocent concept.

“Besides, Donghwa is a song by producer Heo Chan-sung.”

“Yes. He’ll take care of the production himself.”

“Then better.”

＜Look at Me＞ By a composer who never debuted

and ＜Fairy Tales＞ Written by top producers

.

It was amazing enough that a new composer came up to this point.

‘This is true.’

Following the group, another moment of trial came.

This time, the feeling of premonition suddenly reared its head.

More and more ＜Only look at me＞

Anxiety about it only grew.

“First of all, let the trainees listen to both songs.”

“That would be nice. I can hear opinions at least.”

“… There.”

Park Cheol-min and Seong Ji-hoon A&R.

He gently touched the back of his head and intervened in the conversation between the two.

“Jung Soo-ho, what do you have to say?”

“Look at me.”

“What, man?”

“… Looks good.”

This time, there was only one reason for the choice.

Following this uneasy feeling of failing every time.

“I think I’m screwed.”

“Yes?”

“Look at me, I’m afraid I’ll be damned if I don’t choose this song.”

“Hmm.”

Of course it’s a lie

I guess that’s going to suck.

“Isn’t it too rude to producer Heo Chan-sung?”

“Oh, I didn’t mean that.”

＜Fairy Tale＞

Side was much more appealing.

Before cutting off this tickling hand, there was no change.

“It’s just personal preference.”

“You chose the artist’s song according to your taste?”

“…”

I can’t choose someone else’s taste.

My own touch that cannot be expressed in words.

In a word, it’s just annoying.

I don’t like the fact that the hook is repeated over and over again.

The ear worm phenomenon that only occurs in forbidden songs for the college entrance exam.

It buzzed like a bug had entered his ear.

“Personal preference. Please respect.”

“Hmm…”

Fortunately, however, the A&R person supported my words.

“Honestly, even from my point of view, the chorus of the second song is addictive.”

“Yeah, that’s true.”

It wasn’t for nothing that a new composer’s song was uploaded to the final stage.

In terms of music, I wasn’t inferior even compared to the pros.

“For now, let’s report both songs to the chief.”

* * *

Next day.

After receiving the call from the head of department, I headed to the office with team leader Park.

The real power of Artist 2 Headquarters, Gong Se-won, the head of the Strategic Planning Office.

It was not unreasonable for Seol to go around the parachute.

He was promoted at a tremendous speed and reached that position in his early 30s.

“Jeong Soo-ho.”

“Yeah?”

Team leader Park Cheol-min opened his mouth with a serious expression.

“Chief Gong Se-won is not an ordinary person.”

“Ah, the ability?”

“No.”

When he was working at Dream Agency not so long ago, he was a person he didn’t even know his name.

“It’s a gold spoon parachute. The ability is rather mediocre.”

“I thought it was just a rumor.”

“This is solid information.”

Why do you even tell me this?

Is it because of the debt he owed to his former team leader?

“I’ll tell you the song you chose just once, and if you don’t like it, I’ll drop it right away.”

“Ah yes.”

“Be careful. It’ll be a headache if you get caught by him.”

“All right.”

I picked a song by producer Heo Chan-sung and chose a song by an unknown composer.

If you are going to recommend a risky option, there must be a clear reason.

‘But that’s why…’

I just picked it because I didn’t like the feeling.

I also chose the lesser of the two.

After a while, Director Gong Se-won asked the reason as if it were natural.

“Look at me, why do you recommend this song?”

“…”

Because that song is seriously bad.

I hate repeating the chorus.

“Um, can I be honest with you?”

“Of course.”

If I were to organize my thoughts just a little bit, I would say something.

Anyway ＜fairy tale＞

There is no guarantee that it will pop up even if you choose .

“It was a choice to beat Luna.”

“… You’re going to beat Luna?”

“Yeah.”

Soon, the head of Gong Se-won drew a long arc at the corner of his mouth.

“Ahahahahaha. It’s fun. Are you serious?”

“Yes. I’m serious.”

“Yeah. Hook songs are usually all-or-nothings. It’s worth a try.”

“…”

It didn’t mean that at all.

“Manager Jeong Soo-ho is always unexpected.”

“…”

I believe in the deep-rooted tummy tuck accumulated in the entertainment industry.

Please, I sincerely hope that my judgment was wrong this time too.

“Solar’s digital single goes with the song you chose.”

“Thank you!”

The die is cast.
