Damn Idol - Chapter 22

Damn Idol Episode 22

When it comes to musical knowledge, Kang Seok-woo is an ordinary person.

None of the programs he has directed so far are related to music, and he is not usually passionate about listening to music.

Commonly referred to as Top 100 users.

If Kang Seok-woo was surprised to hear the name of a foreign composer, it was one of two things.

Either he is an incredibly famous person, or he became an issue in Korea due to a specific incident.

Now it was both.

“The real Chris Edward? “I don’t think that’s the name of the composer Flowers Bloom.”

“Chris Edward is my stage name. His real name is Danish. Anyway, that’s really true. “I was surprised too, so I checked in many ways.”

“uh… … .”

Chris Edwards is a composer who has become very hot in the past two years.

They have three No. 1 songs on the Billboard Hot 100, and more than 20 songs on the Hot 100 chart.

At the same time, he has a handsome face and good speaking skills, so he often appears on American talk shows.

He didn’t become a top star because he had no vocal ability, but if he had worked as a singer-songwriter, he would have definitely become a world star.

However, the reason Chris Edwards became famous in Korea was because of the movie music.

By chance, I became the music director for a Korean film, and that film recorded 10 million viewers in Korea.

In addition, its quality was recognized by being invited to leading film festivals, including the Cannes Film Festival, and it even won the Film Music Award at one awards ceremony.

Thanks to this, Korean film music written by foreign composers was on the Billboard charts.

It was rare for a foreign singer to reach #1 on the domestic music charts.

“Hey, how many times has Chris Edward appeared on Korean entertainment shows?”

“Other than a movie-related interview, I’ve only appeared on the entertainment program itself once.”

“hmm. “Then, did you say that you made a K-pop idol song at that time?”

“I don’t know about that… … . I wouldn’t have done it. “If we had done that, there would have been a huge fuss in the NT.”

NT is Way From Flower’s agency.

“Yes, that’s right. “It was quiet in the NT.”

“Seeing as there was no unplay at all, doesn’t it mean that NT and the composer were fighting during work?”

“That could be… … . “You may not even know.”

“yes?”

“lets think. It’s already been 4 years since this came out. “Chris Edwards wasn’t famous in Korea back then, was he?”

“That’s true too.”

Kang Seok-woo groped his chin in thought.

Honestly, it would be unreasonable to cast Chris Edwards with the budget allocated to Coming Up Next.

No, it is not impossible, it is impossible.

Isn’t that market demanding a huge amount of money just to get a video interview?

In order to hire a composer who has ranked #1 on the Billboard several times, the viewership rating must be at least 10%.

In other words, whether Han Si-on’s words were true or not could remain a mystery forever.

‘But is that necessarily a bad thing?’

Kang Seok-woo, who had been deep in thought for a while, finally opened his mouth.

“hey. Go PD.”

“I’ve told you this many times, but I’m not Mr. Ko.”

“How many times have I said that since I am an advisor, I am the Go PD? Anyway, find a way to send the video to the composer.”

“One-sided?”

“uh. All you have to do is see it somehow. “Please add subtitles to the Hansion performance and the subsequent interview.”

“Should I say it in Danish? Should I do it in English?”

“Ah, kinda! “You can do both!”

“Why are you so angry?”

“Let’s not talk.”

If what Han Zion said is true, there will be a reaction from Chris Edwards.

Because musicians are that kind of race.

What if there is no response?

For the main character of Episode 1 of Coming Up Next, just swipe to .

will become a hot topic whose exact truth is unknown.

“And among the people who left NT, look for someone who is quiet. The source may come from there.”

“All right.”

When I think about it again, the people at the broadcasting station are amazing.

How did they come up with the idea of ​​creating a choreography studio in a convention center?

When you look at it, it doesn’t look like it’s the original space, but it looks like they bought a mirror from somewhere and installed it… … .

If you have the money to produce something like this, wouldn’t it be cheaper to rent a large choreography studio somewhere?

Of course, there are many times when broadcasting involves a much more complicated relationship of interest than it appears on the surface.

Maybe the convention center sponsored the broadcasting station for some reason and accepted the requirements… … .

“Brother Shion!”

“uh? uh.”

“Are you listening to us?”

“Oh sorry. “I thought about something else for a moment.”

At my answer, the members of the looked puzzled and then opened their mouths.

“I’m curious about what your brother thinks. “In our opinion, the group dance doesn’t seem right.”

“well. “I think I’m fine.”

“Are you okay?”

“uh. “Isn’t this great?”

It was now being monitored.

The choreography practice that lasted for 4 hours starting at 5 am is over, and it is time to watch the stage video that was prepared as if it were a real performance.

however… … It’s a bit boring.

It’s not that I’m tired of monitoring, it’s that I’m tired of the current time.

Saying this may make it seem like I don’t have much interest in preparing for the stage, but that’s not the case.

It’s still fun to be on stage.

I also find joy and reward in the process of preparing for it.

If I didn’t have that feeling, I wouldn’t have been able to endure an infinite regression like the Truman Show.

Nevertheless, the reason I feel bored is… … .

“Don’t you think there’s something oddly wrong?”

“It seems a bit strange even to me. The angles of the limbs are okay… … .”

“How about changing the formation? “The tall person falls to the side.”

This was because the team members were absorbed in meaningless stories.

I don’t know if it’s my original personality or a personality that has changed due to regression, but I hate trying in the wrong way.

I’m so sick and tired of wasting my passion and effort in the wrong place.

And I’m afraid.

What if the amount of passion and effort a person can exert is limited?

When an opportunity comes to me after a long time, what should I do if I no longer have the passion to pour in?

Because this fear lies deep in my heart.

Soon the fear turns into a sense of self-destruction.

To put it to the extreme, I get angry at the reality of having to work together with team members who are concerned about such things.

I was definitely a Grammy winner, but now I’m just a contestant on an idol survival program.

I know that it is a wrong thought and a selfish sentiment.

For me, this life is just passing by, but for others, it is a precious life that only lasts once.

Sometimes even failure is sweet, and when you overcome it, you are so happy that it gives you goosebumps.

I just wasn’t allowed that kind of happiness.

“Brother Shion. Are you really okay?”

I was lost in thought for a moment when asked by Choi Jae-seong, who said he would call me older because he is two years younger than me.

Originally I wasn’t going to come forward.

I thought that if I just intervened in song selection, I would get the picture I wanted to some degree.

However, it is a bit difficult if the team wanders like this.

The picture of the second mission that I want is for me not to be active, but the stage itself is not ruined.

After making up my mind, I opened my mouth.

“I want to ask. “Is choreography that important?”

“yes? Of course it’s important. “Half of idol life is on stage.”

“No, not the choreography. “Is synchronized dance that important?”

In my opinion, what is important in the second stage is not the sharp choreography.

Of course, I know that it gives visual pleasure.

In the first place, unity is a keyword that runs through dance.

Even if you are dancing alone, it is important to have a sense of unity to be able to maintain the same movements and angles.

But not now.

“ met for the first time yesterday, and they started practicing today, right?”

“Yes, of course.”

“I can’t synchronize the choreography. “It’s not that it’s difficult, it’s impossible.”

If it can be done in one day, why would dancers go through the trouble of replacing their joints and cartilage?

When it comes to dancing alone, they probably dance better than anyone else.

“But if you try… … .”

“The possibility of that happening is not zero. But the results will be poor compared to the effort put in.”

“… … The result?”

“Just because we put on a huge stage, the five of us won’t just go up.”

Onsaemiro, who had been quietly listening, asked in a low voice.

“What exactly do you want to say?”

“It’s the direction of the stage.”

People sometimes ignore obvious facts in order to feel comfortable.

It still is.

It’s easy to work hard to keep the choreography in sync.

Of course, I’m not saying I’m comfortable physically, but mentally.

If you just do your best to get the moves right and fail… … .

“But you can still feel a small sense of satisfaction knowing that you worked hard.”

“… … .”

On the other hand, the reality that we have to face is not comfortable.

Personally, I don’t want to be on the same team because of the tone, but I’ll stick with Lee Ion anyway.

Even if I were a judge, I would hire someone with that kind of face and that level of skill.

Next, Onsaemi will also be added.

I don’t know if it’s a 4 right now, but my singing ability is superior to the other contestants.

There’s nothing to say about me.

Three seats have already been decided.

The total number of members of the Coming Up Next B team is five.

There are only two seats left, but there are seven competitors.

So what is important now is not the synchronized dance, which is impossible to get right in the first place.

“You have to do better than the person next to you.”

I skipped the evaluation of Lee Ion and Onsaemiro, but everyone seemed to understand what I wanted to say.

“Dancing the same dance is an opportunity, right? “A chance to show that I can play the best.”

All you have to do is match the beat and timing of the movement.

Next, emphasizing the parts that I can dance well would be a hundred times better than a synchronized dance that falls apart after clumsily adjusting the joint angles.

If was really my team, I wouldn’t set a goal like this, but this is only a temporary alliance.

Kim Seong-woo, who had been quietly listening, intervened.

“Then is that why you strongly recommended Boy Scouts?”

He’s not very skilled, but he seems to be quick-witted.

“that’s right.”

NOP’s Boy Scout is a song with quite a lot of individual movements.

Since the song concept itself is about a boy scout boy, there are many playful gestures and a greater sense of activity rather than unity.

Of course, there are still some group dance parts that cannot be performed with just a bit of practice, but the feeling of putting all the parts together like a knife is not important.

“So, let’s take our direction like this. “The tempo and timing of the movements match, but each side tries to beat the other.”

“… … .”

Everyone looked at each other to see what I had said and then slowly nodded.

After organizing the whole situation, belated worries came to me.

The camera is filming everything, but I wonder if they went too far.

Moreover, it seems like he spoke too much like a superior.

Did you get into the habit of controlling GOTM bastards for so long?

Still, it would be better than ruining the stage with something useless.

Producer Kang Seok-woo also seems to be trying to make some money with , so he won’t attack my image.

I’ll edit it appropriately.

I finished assessing the situation like that, but I was taken aback when I happened to hear Choi Jae-sung’s interview.

“Brother Shion? to be honest… … “It was a bit touching.”

what?

“Worthing was definitely sharp, but I felt like he really wanted us to go up.”

I?

“I also understand why he suddenly took on the rap part.”

Jaeseong Choi said with a bright smile.

“I was really scared of my homeroom teacher when I was in middle school, but looking back, he was really the person who was there for me.”

“The teacher seemed to overlap.”

Uh, that… … .

Does your age show?
