The Novelist Who Leapt Through Time Episode 205

“I never thought of doing art.

This has always been business.

It still is.

“There seems to be some misunderstanding… … .”

President Baek Seung-won looked at Lee Soo, who was standing stiffly in front of him. Lee Soo also opened his eyes wide and glared at Baek Seung-won, as if he was not pushed by the momentum, no, he should not be pushed by the momentum.

Just by looking at his facial expression, he looks like a loyalist martyr making a branch appeal. It is a determination that makes it seem as if the lives of Rapid Boys’ younger brothers rest on his shoulders.

Actually, that’s not true.

“Your attitude, your skills, and your producer’s political stance are not important.”

“yes?”

“therefore. “If you give me one more chance, I will work hard, or the PD made a mistake and I was abandoned by the company, or the reason why the production of Rapid Boys’ next album has been postponed indefinitely is not because of these secondary reasons.”

Lee Soo asked back with a look on his face, ‘What does that mean?’

Baek Seung-won smiled bitterly as he saw that.

Even though he is the leader of Rapid Boys, he is ultimately just a young man in his early 20s.

They are too young to see the world around them clearly.

Baek Seung-won decided to tell the warrior who came to catch the Demon King a little bit of the truth about the world.

“Business is everything.”

“… … ”

“Rapid Boys failed to prove business viability. “That’s it.”

The idol, who heard to his face, ‘You don’t have money,’ looked a little dazed.

Every time Baek Seung-won saw that scene, his heart ached so much.

But I can’t help it.

It was his responsibility to advise children who believed they could change something through their own efforts to redirect their efforts.

“And this is not your fault. It’s a bad time. The performing arts industry has not yet recovered from the destruction caused by the coronavirus, and in the midst of this, wars have broken out overseas, prices are rising, and people’s pockets are closing… It is a time like this that you are spending the golden second and third years of your debut. If you’re guilty, that’s it. Did you guys do drugs? What did you do? I just worked hard and did what the company told me to do. “Isn’t that right?”

“… … that’s right.”

“Yes, yes. Lee Soo-ya. The boss knows everything too. I know that you guys have put in a lot of effort and are working really passionately. Just because I got into a bit of trouble with PD Jeong doesn’t mean I ignore your efforts. “I’m not that kind of person.”

“… … ”

“But it’s true that Rapid Boys will not release an album from now until the end of the contract period.”

Lee Soo’s expression, which had maintained some seriousness or will to fight, eventually collapsed.

Baek Seung-won hurriedly told the story so that the valley of frustration would not last too long.

“This is unavoidable. This is a company that has to manage multiple celebrities with limited resources, and we can’t invest in idols who don’t return the investment like pouring water into a bottomless pit. Then the board of directors will arrest me for breach of duty.”

“ah… … .”

“But Lee Soo. Let’s take a step back and see. Is your career in the entertainment industry over because the boy group Rapid Boys has run out of vitality? I’ll make sure. “That’s not it.”

“… … ”

“Anyway, you guys are a boy group that topped the charts at least once. I’m not at a level where I’m treated like a piece of shit. “With this level of foundation, you can succeed as an actor, a solo singer, or an entertainer.”

“… … ”

“okay. Rapid Boys entered the US and swept the world like BTS… The possibility of that happening should now be considered zero. But are there any other successful kids like BTS? You just have to continue your entertainment industry life as a celebrity. The company will become your nest. Rapid Boys will never disband. For 7 years, 14 years, if you guys agree, I will continue to commute to Baekhak Entertainment, go with my manager, and continue my activities in the entertainment industry. There are thousands of children wandering around on the streets without this level of support. I’m not campaigning to give you a manager, but this is the result of your accomplishments as idols. Look at the children of the empire. Why did they release a good album and be successful? While continuing their activities in the entertainment industry with the idol business card, the members have established themselves well as individual players. therefore… … ”

President Baek Seung-won suddenly stopped talking.

Because the young man whose dream had been shattered was crying.

It was obvious that no matter what I said now, it wouldn’t comfort me. Baek Seung-won took out some tissues and wiped Lee-su’s tears with his own hands, repeating the words he was sorry several times.

But the apology was not sincere. President Baek Seung-won’s true feelings have already been expressed. However, Isu was too young to accept that truth.

Baek Seung-won smiled sadly as he watched Lee Soo leave, saying he was sorry for coming so suddenly.

After all, if you try to do art instead of business here, you are bound to get hurt… … 」

EP 12-Marionette

“Hmm, it came out well.”

After a chaotic and chaotic executive meeting filled with confusion and fear over the declaration that ‘we are releasing another album’.

Baek Seung-won, who gathered the criminals who created this mess in the president’s office, nodded while looking at the cell phone screen.

Then, he placed the web novel he was reading on the desk so that everyone could see it.

“It’s clearly shown in episode 24 of . that’s right. “Business is everything.”

“… … ”

“Even though I have become the world’s greatest traitor, what better advertisement could there be than this? You have to row when the water comes in. is not it?”

President Baek Seung-won ended his speech with a question, but no one was able to answer that question.

Rapid Boys members, including Lee Soo and Min Hyo-chan, were sweating as if they were sitting on thorn cushions.

President Plant and the dark ruler of Baekhak Bookstore were doing their best to avoid eye contact with President Seungwon Baek in order to avoid responsibility.

This was because the author of , the culprit of all evil, started reading the best comments as soon as he received the novel written by Ji.

“oh… ”

The writer was wondering what kind of comments he was seeing, and in the midst of this, he even let out an exclamation to himself.

The CEO of Baekhak Entertainment in the world really didn’t seem to be scared at all.

Min Hyo-chan, who thought he knew the writer well, seemed to be completely lost in his mind due to this crazy behavior.

“haha.”

But why?

President Baek Seung-won looked at the writer and smiled kindly, then just smiled and moved on.

But that doesn’t mean he didn’t harass other guys.

First of all, start with completion.

“Hey, Lee Soo, you bastard, the boss comforted you sincerely when you were having a hard time and went home, and then you revealed it to everyone?”

“S-sorry… ”

“I really got goosebumps while reading the novel. How is there no fiction at all? huh? Are you guys like that? Is this PD’s notebook? Why are you conducting in-depth coverage of the company president? hey! Even the guys at the broadcasting station didn’t bother me this much! What should I do if everything I know about Miju is revealed to a kid who isn’t even from the company?”

Next was Min Hyo-chan’s turn.

“Oh my, our writer Min… “I didn’t know you had such great writing skills.”

“sorry! Inseop wrote almost everything! “I just put my name up!”

“Seeing how you hit your colleagues on the back of the head before you could say anything, I can see how you betrayed me.”

“Wrong!”

“So why do you do something you feel sorry for? They say this is why they don’t harvest pink-haired beasts…

”… ?”

At this point, people who were only watching President Baek Seung-won’s eyes slowly raised their heads.

This is because Baek Seung-won’s criticism was at a very playful level.

Thanks to the indulgence of the Baek Crane lineage, the Baek Seol-Im Yang-wook duo naturally got over the reprimand, and Baek Seung-won looked at the writer for the last time.

“Author Moon, you really… “You wrote a novel in case anyone thought you weren’t a novelist.”

“Because I’m a novelist.”

“I never thought I would even see a monologue from my first-person point of view appearing in a novel about how I lived. Is this Alpass or something? “Anyway, ever since you first met me, you’ve been trying to send me to prison by accusing me of being a kidnapper, and now you’ve decided to send me to hell.”

“I just did my best to stay true to realism.”

“That’s the creepiest thing. The me in the novel written by author Moon is quite similar to the real me. “I thought you were really stalking me?”

“The interview was very helpful.”

“under… If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn’t have done it… ”

While everyone was busy, Lim Yang-wook caught a suspicious word and came out.

“Boss, if you say it’s an interview… ”

“Ah, I helped you a few words when I was writing this novel. “He came to me and asked me.”

“So, you knew in advance about the writing of ‘Marionette’… ?”

“Well, roughly?”

At the recognition of President Baek Seung-won, the entire Rapid Boys breathed a sigh of relief.

“Whoa… ”

It felt like a major emergency accident had been resolved to just a major accident.

The worst possibility of an angry CEO Baek Seung-won swinging the blade of revenge like a madman was avoided.

Lim Yang-wook also grabbed the writer’s shoulder in despair.

“Hey, why didn’t you tell me that you had interviewed CEO Baek Seung-won in advance?”

“I’m not your child, so you wouldn’t have gotten my permission?”

“… ?”

Even Lim Yang-wook, who always respects the decision-making rights of writers, found it difficult to accept the comment just now.

‘Isn’t he a kid…? ?’

Leaving behind Lim Yang-wook, who was in a state of confusion, Moon In-seop, a first-year student at Baekhak Arts High School who had grown to the same size as a mouse drop as in his previous life without the benefit of having received milk since elementary school, tidied up his blanket and expressed regret to President Baek Seung-won.

“Still, I’m a little…” “I expected the impact of a problematic autobiography, but I didn’t know that the president would be caught up in this level of gossip, so I’m embarrassed and sorry.”

“are you okay! are you okay! “I don’t have any family to criticize because I’m divorced!”

“no… … ”

Although the writer acted like an old man, President Baek Seung-won dominated the conversation by overpowering the writer with adult jokes that people under 39 would not accept.

This was a line uttered with very deliberate intent.

If you suddenly show your pitiful side, it will be difficult to refuse subsequent offers.

“Anyway, I didn’t know that the novel written by author Moon would have such a big impact. So, I didn’t know that Moon’s ‘world view collection’ would be so popular that he would promote Rapid Boys’ next album. The decision to title Rapid Boys’ next album ‘Marionette’ was also an impromptu decision. So… ”

He put on the sunglasses he had placed in the breast pocket of his suit and grinned.

“The novel ‘Marionette’. “How about continuing to season 2?”

“yes?”

“Let’s continue the album production process as a novel. I think it’s a good idea. “Isn’t that right?”

President Baek Seung-won naturally looked at Lee Soo.

And then he cast telepathy.

Fortunately, Baek Seung-won and Lee Soo-na were broadcasters, so they had antennas attached to their brains.

Telepathy was successful.

“That’s right! president!”

However, the Rapid Boys members’ ability to receive radio waves was lower than that of the leader, so their ideas did not come together smoothly.

But a broken TV and a broken human can be fixed in the same way.

The moment Lee Soo’s elbow dug into Min Hyo-chan’s side, Min Hyo-chan let out a somewhat unique scream.

“I think that’s a very good idea!”

Only then did the Rapid Boys members also quickly receive the radio wave.

“Literatures are already like our members. I think it would be fun to work together!”

“Marionette Season 2… “It seems like a really MZ-like idea, right?”

“If you only write season 2, you can give all of my payment to the writer.”

“Please take my share too. “Writer!”

The Rapid Boys members, who were under the mental control of Baek Seung-won, looked at the writer with bright eyes.

Embarrassed, Yangwook Lim tried to quickly resolve the situation, but was one step too late.

Without any restraint, the writer’s answer without hesitation came out first.

President Baek Seung-won, who is smiling slyly –

While receiving the gaze of the Rapid Boys members who were looking at him brightly like baby birds-

The writer answered immediately.

“I don’t like it.”

“ah.”

Lim Yang-wook realized one step too late that he didn’t need to worry.
