If You Raise Three Idols Well, They Will Confess Their Love - Chapter 181



181 – Three-Way Meeting

Episode 181

All of Two Bear’s staff and artists gathered in the conference room to announce the final draft of the song, which only had formal recording and mastering left with guide vocals added, fell silent for a moment after hearing the title song that I had somehow managed to Complete after the conversation with Winter. .

I was waiting for a moment to see if they would summarize their reviews, but even though there was quite a long silence, no one spoke.

What is it that’s so bad?

… James Oh and Winter said it was okay.

As I waited for the interaction to end, I became embarrassed and spoke cautiously.

“I… “Can you please tell me your opinion now?”

Cheon A-ram, who seemed to have suddenly come to his senses after hearing those words, asked.

“Who did the guide vocals?”

“Winter and me.”

As all eyes focused on Gyeorae, Gyeorae buried her head as if she was somehow embarrassed.

Why do you do that? I sang it well.

Gaeul had something in mind, but her mouth she was twitching as if she was having trouble getting it out, and Yeoreum was looking at me blankly, twisting her long straight hair with one of her hands.

Yuri was sighing as he looked at the two.

… Honestly, I don’t know what the reaction is.

Cheon A-ram, who was thinking while resting his chin, lightly said something.

“I just think it’s okay to upload the music like this? … No, would you like to arrange it with the acoustic feel of the songs on the album and upload them together? “I think fans will accept it if they think that Winter has included some features in her solo.”

“… “With guide vocals now?”

“Yes.”

“…”

I looked around at my colleagues with the intention of trying to stop that person, and others were nodding their heads as well.

Really, why are they like this?

“… This is a girl’s revolutionary song.”

“No, I know that, but I feel like Team Leader Sun is particularly visible in this song.”

I felt like I heard those words somewhere, so I looked at James O who was behind me.

He made eye contact with me, smiled brightly, and slapped me.

… Uh, okay. I’m glad you like it.

After completing this song, I erased James Oh, who had begun to infinitely affirm all of my opinions, from my mind and asked Aram Cheon.

“Does your opinion mean that this song won’t suit Revolutionary Girl?”

Cheon Aram shook his head and said.

“No, that’s not it. It’s a good song. While maintaining the context of the colors pursued by Girl Revolution, they did not miss out on popular trends. I’ll have to go to the temporary recording to know for sure, but I think it’ll be okay. It’s a title that is true to name and reality. Thank you for your hard work, Team Leader Seon.”

From noble mtl dot come

It was high praise. This is especially true considering that the remarks made by Cheon A-ram in this situation are completely objective.

Therefore, the reaction of Cheon A-ram and his colleagues was problematic.

“So, you’re simply saying that it’s a shame to throw away the tentatively recorded version because it’s more positive than expected?”

“Hmm… , It’s closer to an inevitable feeling that it shouldn’t be thrown away. “The succession and the aftermath are different.”

“… Yes?”

What does this mean?

Why does such an expression even appear in a guide?

Cheon Aram looked at me, scratched his head slightly and said.

“… What can I say, to be honest, I think this song is not a Girl Revolution song, but a song by a person named Sun Taeyang. Should I say it feels like the owner is being taken away?”

***

James Oh evaluated the reaction of Two Bear employees as follows.

‘It’s all just because I felt so strongly about Team Leader Seon’s work. There is no need to think about it difficultly. Just a word of praise. What else does it mean to say that the impression is strong and the colors are strong? This work is the best, Team Leader Sun. It’s an achievement worth enjoying and bragging about. Rest assured, I will handle all the remaining minor mastering.’

However, I couldn’t be sure with that answer alone.

I couldn’t hide the uncomfortable feeling that something was caught.

“So, this is not a part-time job schedule, what’s going on?”

So I found Cheon Jong-hun.

To be honest, I try to pretend it’s not the case and disparage it by calling it a part-time job, but in reality, my teachers in music were Lee and James Oh.

“I came here to consult about my work.”

Cheon Jong-hun snorted at my outburst and said.

“Do you think I’m a leisurely person who would naturally spare time if I suddenly came to you like this and made a request? I also know that there isn’t much left until Alcest’s new album is released, right? I think you sometimes underestimate me, but the time I usually give you is just the time I have left…”

At that time, the door burst open, and Yoon Seo-ah, one of the members of Alcest and the leader, came in.

“Team Leader Cheon! As you said, we have informed all children that the scheduled directing time has been canceled! The kids are complaining that it was canceled so suddenly, but I’ll be tough so they don’t think like that! Well then, enjoy your time!”

“”…””

I couldn’t find anything to say, so I expressed my gratitude.

“Thank you for your time…”

“So what is your business?”

The way he was changing his words he seemed somewhat desperate, so I matched his intentions.

“This time, I created a new song for the title.”

“… Just now?”

“Yes, I was lucky.”

Then Cheon Jong-hun wiggled his eyebrows and asked back.

“… “You said you were lucky?”

“Yes, it wasn’t a song that could be released in a short period of time.”

“… Well, okay. “You will be familiar with the audio system, so try playing it yourself.”

I got ready to play the song according to his words

“The name of the song is ‘I’ll be by your side.’ … Then, let’s play it.”

The song finished playing in about 3 minutes.

“…”

And Cheon Jong-hun was silent.

Ah, why does everyone talk less when they listen to this song?

As I waited for that silence, I couldn’t bear it and asked.

“How was it?”

“…”

After a long silence, Cheon Jong-Hoon opened his mouth as if he had finished organizing his thoughts.

“This is Sun Taeyang’s song.”

“…”

It was obvious.

But now, that obvious statement is taken differently.

“Can you explain?”

“I’m saying that what you made is closer to an artist’s song than a KPOP composer’s song.”

“…”

“I was influenced by James O.”

Cheon Jong-Hoon took his eyes off the audio and looked at me and said.

“I offer you my disciple…” ” , No, what do you think was the reason for the part-time job offer?”

“Well. I really don’t know. “Aren’t there too many people who are better than me?”

He snorted once and said.

“Isn’t it time to look at it objectively? Or is it humility? Please refrain from doing such lame things in the future. Because I hate it so much.”

What kind of humility is this? Understanding the topic.

“No, objectively, there is no composer with more technical and sensibility than me…”

“Dog sound! … You are a genius. To the extent that Cheon Jong-hoon felt a sense of crisis.”

“…”

It felt like he had been hit on the head. These are words I never imagined hearing from that man, who is the ultimate in arrogance.

“James, I guess he made the same decision and stuck with you. If you have good eyesight, you won’t be able to recognize it. … By the way. The genius he saw and the genius I saw in you seem to be a bit different.”

I asked, unable to hide the growing doubts.

“What did Team Leader Cheon see in me?”

“What I see in you are your eyes. The eye that sees the artist’s talent, what is lacking, and what is needed for a complete song.”

When I heard those words, I remembered the time when I had introduced Gyeoreum and used that excuse to show off to join SS.

Perhaps he misunderstood the status window’s ability as my talent.

“It’s just a coincidence. In fact, from the first time I met him, I was showing off to Team Leader Cheon to appear as a worthy salesman.”

“Bluff? … Huh, you’ve done mid-checking and scoring your own songs before, right? 96 points, 92 points, something like that.”

“Yes, that happened to me.”

It was something I did occasionally. Because topics understanding was something I was good at.

That’s why the fuss was made. At that time, I thought I wouldn’t be able to make a 100-point song.

Somehow, the song ‘Albatross’ succeeded in meeting that standard, but it wasn’t a big deal.

In front of me who was thinking such things, Cheon Jong-hun asked as if he were puzzled.

“Did you think that was possible for anyone?”

“…”

And I couldn’t answer that question.

“You are a genius. Ha… , I really feel like I have to explain this with my own words… , Let’s get back to the point. Unlike me, James O would have seen you with your senses, not your eyes. And that sense refers to the way Sun Taeyang puts his personality and thoughts into his work. “I’m making the artist’s music, not the system’s music.”

Cheon Jong-hun slammed the original books on the bookshelf with a loud ‘thud’ sound and said.

“I saw that you could reach the pinnacle of music in the system. If only we filled in the missing knowledge. So I helped. Because I am also a person who aims for the peak. And I’m confident that I can do that! And if my rival fails to reach the peak due to a lack of trivial techniques and knowledge, I won’t be able to do anything! … But you chose a different path. “I was anxious from the moment I said I was lucky in completing the song, but it ended up like this.”

He took a deep sigh, lowered his excitement and spoke softly.

“I’m not going to deny that song now.” That’s ugly. It is true that both name and reality are of high perfection. However, please be aware that this song is completely different from what I am aiming for. The way of relying on luck, rolling the dice, chanting that I am right and telling people to follow me. I think that is taking very lightly the fact that it is a system built by humans. … So I’m trying to respond.”

I asked.

“What kind of response are you talking about?”

“I have to prove that my way is right”

Jong-Hoon Cheon got up from his seat and started operating the audio system.

“With this Alcest album.”

And his song he came out

“…”

I decided after listening to that song.

‘… 100 points.’

Cheon Jong-hoon surpassed himself in the previous episode.

***

The timing of Alcest’s return and Revolutionary Girl’s return overlap.

We had no intention of changing this period because we thought it was inevitable to release an album now in order to continue the flow of each member’s activities as much as possible.

Since the other side didn’t seem to have any intention of changing, I had to assume that head-on collisions on the chart were a given.

That’s why I became more worried. Because I wasn’t sure that the song I made would win this Alcest.

While I was immersed in such thoughts and organizing the music video planning report, the door to my office opened.

“… Taeyang oppa? “Is it okay for a moment?”

It was fall.

I was started by her moment, but I pretended nothing was wrong and welcomed her.

“Okay, Gaeul, what’s going on?”

“I wanted to talk for a moment.”

“Okay? So, sit here and…”

Just as I was welcoming Ga Eul who came in after closing the door, the door to the office opened again.

“Team Leader Seon, can I talk to you for a moment?”

“”…””

It was summer.
