Producer with no Regrets - Chapter 779
Only Noblemtl
Episode 779
“Have you discussed it with the members?”
Seongpil saw one. He didn’t know what it was.
“You can’t use a chance unilaterally.”
“The members will agree. Right, Hana-chan?”
One nodded reflexively.
Before hearing Joara’s evaluation, Hana was in a state of awakening. She was so intoxicated by her own power that she even rebelled against Miyoko.
But now that she’s weak, she’s back to her usual self. The one she’s always looked up to was Miyoko, and this time it was no different.
“I’m asking in advance, what kind of help can I get if I use the support chance?”
“I’ll tell you about that when I get back to the set. When the members agree and express their opinions.”
Miyoko readily agreed.
“Hana-chan and I have something to talk about, so please excuse me for a moment.”
After sending Sungpil away, Miyoko dragged Hana into a dark place.
“One, what happened? Why were you crying next to Director Park?”
“… … Ugh.”
Hana, who had stopped crying, burst into tears again as soon as she heard her sister’s sincere concerns.
She poured out every little detail in a voice that was full of resentment. Her words were interrupted by sobs and whimpers, but Miyoko never once interrupted her story.
“Oh, I see. Can you say that in front of the other members?”
“Uh, uh, then my sisters… … .”
If it turns out that Junpei’s encouragement was a lie and that he didn’t have any expectations of Bugbug.
“My sisters will be sad… … .”
“That’s why.”
“to?”
“There are two reasons why I want to reveal this. The first reason is truthfulness.”
What will Bugbug’s attitude be like after getting scolded by Joara? He smiles brightly and says, “Let’s try hard again!”
“Whoever sees it, it looks strange?”
Junpei’s encouragement will be skipped in the middle.
“You can’t expect acting skills from kids. If you keep filming like this, you’ll only end up with a dull production. This story has to be dramatic.”
Frustrated bugbug.
In the end, I use the support chance.
The idol fairy (Seongpil) provides some help.
Bugbug, who is entering practice after a long time.
I am evaluated with a trembling heart.
“Who would want to see something vague like, ‘That didn’t go well. Let’s try again next time’?”
One felt like he had been hit in the head. This way of thinking about broadcasting was something that Hana did not have.
I thought that if I just worked hard, I would be fine. However, there is more to entertainment than that.
“We need to create a story. A story that will immerse us and make us root for it. To do that, we need to show our true, vulnerable selves. Hana-chan, the story you overheard is the trigger.”
“… … The second one?”
“The second reason is the difficulty of the subsequent tasks. This is the first task, right? It’s the first task, and it looks like this.”
Common sense tells us that the first task should be easy. Both the assessment and the training should be of a mediocre level.
But Joara’s attitude was not like that.
“We need a proper challenge, not a frustration that will make us sit up. We need to show that to the production team and our mentors.”
“Oh, so… … .”
He uses the chance that he didn’t use even in the most difficult mission, Steal the Chair, in the first task, which should be the easiest.
“Hana-chan, listen carefully. ‘Girls’ League X Bugbug Invasion!’ is absolutely not favorable to us. The essence of this program is made up of our sadness. It has to constantly be compared to the Girls’ League. That’s the kind of program it is.”
Candles that will make the Girls’ League even more beautiful.
Bugbug is just a candle that sways precariously near the Girls’ League.
“You have to be smart, Hana.”
“… … Sister.”
One gave a longing look.
“Are you thinking about all that?”
“Don’t think about it. It’s a weapon.”
It is said that more than 90% of human behavior is unconscious. Behavior includes language. Most people act without thinking.
So, training one’s character is not about becoming noble, but about raising the bar of evil to its lowest point.
Rather than risking your life to save someone, your goal should be to prevent people from littering on the streets.
Miyoko was like that too.
Reducing the unconscious part of your actions to 90%, 80%, 70%. By doing so, you will be able to take control of your life.
“I try my best to make every action and word go through my head.”
If most people move without thinking, then thinking and moving would be a tremendous advantage in life.
“This is especially true in places like this.”
Should I go now? It’s too late.
As Miyoko said that, she turned her back on Hana. At that moment, Hana caught her.
“one?”
“Well, this may be just meddling for no reason. Then, why are you doing that?”
“huh?”
“To the producer… … .”
Why did she show such excessive affection for Sungpil? Although she didn’t say anything, Miyoko could read her intentions from her attitude and tone of voice.
It wasn’t just one or two days that Miyoko was like that.
She is the same way with her fans, and basically, she has a uniquely nonchalant attitude towards men. I know that she is not specifically targeting men.
This is Miyoko’s way of dealing with the world.
But even Hana, who has seen this kind of thing many times, cannot understand Miyoko’s attitude toward Seongpil.
“I can see what the mentors don’t like… … .”
If all actions are derived through a complex thought process, why is it so obvious to Sungpil that it is a disadvantage? Why?
Do you really think you can seduce Seongpil and use him like a puppet?
One waited anxiously for Miyoko’s answer.
“ah.”
Miyoko smiled awkwardly.
“Yeah… … I see. Yeah, I understand.”
“……huh?”
“Thank you for telling me, Hana-chan. I’ll be careful.”
And then he left without any regrets.
“……huh?”
end?
This is… … .
‘It’s even more suspicious.’
* * *
All BugBug members and staff returned to the auditorium.
How would Bugbug act in the face of Joara’s sharp criticism? The staff didn’t really have any expectations about what would happen next.
“PD-nim, I think it would have been better if you didn’t encourage him.”
“I know.”
Bugbug was full of life.
It seemed like the wounds had completely healed since Joara had been criticized for quite some time. The encouragement from Junpei, the main PD, must have had a big impact.
Junpei regretted that he should have encouraged Bugbug after someone declared desertion. If that happened, the broadcast would have become unmanageable…
‘It’s a shame I couldn’t capture your frustrated look.’
It wouldn’t have been strange if there had been internal division. And such a scene would have been very stimulating and fun.
“Guys, let’s go outside and talk privately for a moment.”
As soon as filming began in earnest, Miyoko spoke to the members.
The staff were embarrassed.
As Miyoko lifted them up one by one and pushed them out, Junpei, who couldn’t stand to watch, approached Miyoko.
“Miyoko over there!”
“PD?”
“If you have something to say, say it on camera. Of course, it’s hard to say emotional… … serious… … difficult… … things on camera. That’s also the attitude of a professional on television.”
“Oh my, really? I’m going to tell you this story.”
Miyoko approached Junpei.
Junpei’s body temporarily froze. It was too close.
In that state, Miyoko brought her hand close to his ear and whispered.
“It’s an act of trying to live an easy life by believing that you have a pretty face.”
“… … !”
Miyoko broke away from Junpei.
“I think I need some motivation. Should I do it in front of the camera?”
“… … .”
Junpei’s face grew hot. He felt terribly embarrassed, as if he had exposed the very depths of his humanity.
I’m angry too.
I wanted to yell at him to keep quiet right now, but he could talk anytime, anywhere.
There’s no point in stopping it here.
“Oh, go and talk.”
“Thank you, PD-nim.”
When Junpei sent Bugbug away, the staff all looked at him. He made an excuse.
“It’s a bit personal. I can’t say it in front of the camera.”
Isn’t this not a reality show?
The staff thought so, but it was difficult to say anything since it was the main producer’s decision.
About ten minutes later, Bugbug came back.
Looking at their faces, Junpei unconsciously clutched his chest.
‘You really did say that.’
Bugbug had a face that looked like it had been cut off. As soon as he met Junpei’s eyes, he turned away.
From now on, the evaluation will be at rock bottom.
‘by the way…….’
Bugbug’s return was just as Junpei and the PDs had expected.
This is the image of an idol who is completely dispirited, no, frustrated, after being hit with a sharp rebuke by his mentor.
If you adjust the order appropriately, it seems like a decent picture will come out.
‘I’m mad that Miyoko talked behind my back to the kids, but I should be thankful that she made this picture for me.’
They approached the camera hesitantly. Miyoko, who was at the front, spoke.
“I’ll use the support chance. Please help me.”
“Okay, just a moment.”
Seongpil approached before Junpei could call.
“Director Park, please tell me what you have prepared.”
“Yes, first of all, Miyoshi? Do you mean help with dancing?”
“Yes. Please help me complete my assignment.”
“Okay, I’ll call an assistant. But not right away. He’ll arrive sometime this evening or night. Is that okay, PD?”
“Of course. We can film the support chance for the rest of the time. First… … Miyoko? Did you discuss it with the members outside?”
“yes.”
Miyoko responded with her usual bright smile. Junpei stuck out his tongue at her response.
I was a little embarrassed at how sharp my tone of voice had become. I didn’t know people could be that shameless.
‘Well, all celebrities are like that.’
Celebrities are people who change when they stand in front of the camera. Although this is Miyoko’s first television appearance, she has the talent to steadily aim for the entertainment industry.
“Could you reenact the discussion in front of the camera? In a serious tone.”
“All right.”
Bugbug immaturely reenacted the discussion they had outside earlier. When something felt unnatural, Miyoko led the conversation and smoothed it out.
Anyway, the atmosphere was already calm, so there was no need to show any special emotions.
“What should I do with my remaining time?”
“Practice… … No. Since we have the time, let’s do an interview.”
In reality shows, there are times when the show switches to an interview with a contestant in an urgent situation. Or, the contestant may provide narration.
Of course, it is filmed separately after the incident. However, it is directed as if it is telling the state of mind at the time of the incident, which creates a sense of immersion.
“How did you feel when you were evaluated by Ara-san?”
Bugbug gave an interview in which he recalled the situation at the time.
This time, I didn’t really need to hold back my emotions. Just recalling the situation made my voice tremble and I felt like crying.
I didn’t know that the effect would be better because Junpei was in front of the camera.
After capturing such a useful scene, Bugbug went into autonomous practice.
Naturally, it didn’t work out well.
Basically, everyone’s motivation was at rock bottom.
‘Why did you insist on saying that?’
Junpei felt more and more dumbfounded as he watched the chaotic training that continued.
‘As a leader, you should take care of the morale of the members. Why are you gossiping about me? More importantly, how did you hear that?’
It was a difficult time for both the staff and Bugbug.
Bugbug is having a hard time finding hope, and the staff is anxious that the foundation of the program may be shaken.
Among them, Seongpil calmly observed the heavy air that had settled inside the auditorium.
* * *
After dinner, Seongpil sent a message saying he had finished preparing for the support.
The staff was fully prepared for filming. Bugbug had already been waiting in front of the camera.
Seongpil appeared in the auditorium wearing a coat over his daytime suit. He stood in front of Bugbug and smiled.
“Did you all enjoy the meal?”
“yes…….”
“yes.”
“yes…….”
They all had no strength.
Although the reaction was lukewarm, Seongpil did not lose his smile and instead raised his voice.
“What the Idol Fairy will give you is a helper. Unlike Ara, she won’t just give you an hour a day, but a teacher who will show up and teach you whenever you want, 24 hours a day. Let’s all shout it out loud together. It’s Teacher!”
“Sir!”
Bugbug was momentarily taken aback by the way the teacher spoke to him, as if he was talking to a kindergartener. So they each called out for teacher at different times.
At that vague call, the auditorium door opened slightly and closed repeatedly. Then, it opened wide and a man came in.
Bugbug All of them were captivated by that guy. First of all, he was handsome. He was handsome, and his hair was pink.
He stood next to Seongpil.
“This is Yubin from the boy group Waypercent. Please give us a big round of applause!”
Yubin responded to the small applause from the six members as if it were cheers. He smiled at each member one by one, and rested his chin on the air with an orphaned gesture.
“Naaa- here we go.”
“… … ?”
Yubin could write Japanese.
“Naa-ah, you guys, teach me. Naa-ah, dance.”
“… … ?”
I know how to write, but I learned it through animation, Japanese dramas, movies, and music.
Although he can listen to animation, he has virtually no ability to have a daily conversation in Japanese, and his speech also jumps across age groups.
Most of them spoke in a cute middle school or high school girl tone. Or, they spoke in an overly serious tone that you would expect to see in a battle anime.
In particular, the way he was addressed was amazing.
“Naaa—please take care of me!”
It’s one thing to call someone you’re meeting for the first time “na” (oreo, informal masculine pronoun), but to call them “naa―” (oree―) was like an anime character.
“I think I’m not in my right mind… … .”
“Your hair is pink too.”
“Ah, as expected… … .”
There’s no way a sane man would dye his hair pink.
Yubin was satisfied with Bugbug’s whispering. It felt like she had become a topic of conversation.
‘That must be true.’
Well, it’s surprising that a famous (self-proclaimed) K-pop idol came to train in person.
Since we’ve come this far, should I introduce myself a little more?
“Why does Naa-a live in Japan… … .”
“… … .”
“Do you live there…? … I wonder?”
What the hell are you talking about?
“Well, there is work in Japan.”
“Ah, yes… … .”
Yubin swept her pink hair back in a cool way. It was clearly a camera-conscious move.
“As a ‘producer,’ I exist.”
“… … .”
Are you confusing the meaning of producer and idol?
“So, I’m better―, descent.”
“… … .”
Is it a concept?
Are you a radio idol?
There’s something like that in K-pop too.
“The world trembled at Naa’s dance… … .”
“That’s the end of the self-introduction.”
Seongpil, who was feeling shameful, blocked Yubin.
Is Yubin shameless? No. He was intoxicated by the reactions of those around him.
The admiring gazes of Bugbug and the staff members who looked at her with longing eyes. All of this made Yubin more confident.
In reality, Bugbug was just an eye for the crazy, and the staff were just out of their minds when a ratings cheat key suddenly popped up.
If Sungpil hadn’t stopped her, Yubin would have been locked in her room in shame for a few weeks, watching only animation. No, is it too late?
“As I said earlier, this is Waypercent’s Yubin. There’s a reason I brought Yubin, who is an idol and not a trainer.”
Although Yubin is the youngest member of Waypercent, she is also the first trainee under Yellow Submarine Entertainment.
The training at Waypercent’s previous agency, Yellow Submarine Entertainment, was simple and ignorant.
A few short group dance training sessions a week. Other times we just copy K-pop choreography.
Even if there was something I didn’t know, there was very little time to learn it separately from the trainer. In this situation, it was Yubin who stepped up.
“Yubin was like a dance teacher to the other six members of Waypercent. She can turn someone who has no knowledge of dance into an excellent performer, so she’s the perfect teacher for you all.”
In fact, he was more talented at teaching than dancing.
It must have been because Kang Hyun, the leader of Waypercent, was able to surpass Yubin, who learned to dance much earlier. It was partly due to Kang Hyun’s own efforts, but partly due to Yubin’s help.
After praising Yubin, Sungpil turned his attention to her. Yubin noticed his gaze and began to make her own appeal.
“Naaa, chaos.”
“… … Yes. This is the support I, the idol fairy, can give you.”
“You said ‘this’… … .”
An unexpected help hits Bugbug!
