Episode 72. A Man Called A (10)
Although Ahn Chi-seop was originally obsessed with viewer ratings, honestly, this was a place where there were fewer broadcasters who were not obsessed with viewer ratings.
art?
Okay.
The name itself is beautiful.
However, you need money to do art, and the capital of a broadcasting station moves according to viewer ratings.
Of course, these days, it’s not just about viewer ratings, but also overseas copyrights, secondary sales to OTT, topicality, etc.
There were a lot of things to consider, but in the end it all came down to money.
In that sense, it was lucky for Ahn Chi-seop that I chose the idol last summer.
Although Ahn Chi-seop didn’t actually get much out of his casting, he did receive a huge amount of funding for the production of the next broadcast.
Still, I was anxious.
It’s not that the genre was different, it’s that the genre was rock.
A genre that spans not just one wave but three or four waves.
Honestly, now that I think about it, even Ahn Chi-seop himself wondered why he was so obsessed with the rock genre and planned a competition program.
however.
The wind blows.
That too with strong winds.
“PD-nim. Have you seen the popularity index just now?”
Another alter ego of Ahn Chi-seop, number 2 in the writing team. This is Kim Du-ri.
“I don’t know, I didn’t see it. Why?”
“Hey… … You saw it. Or didn’t you?”
“I really didn’t see it. Why? You don’t like it?”
Kim Du-ri narrowed his eyes at Ahn Chi-seop, who was pretending to be innocent.
“Pretend not to know. I’ll believe you don’t know. Anyway, I think we’re doing okay. I heard the advertising team keeps asking for advertisements for our program.”
“okay?”
“Yes, that’s right. Well, anyway, I couldn’t beat the PD’s eye. I really thought I would fail miserably.”
“Everyone takes on challenges with such anxiety. Is it easy to take on challenges? I wanted to take the easy way out like everyone else, but this is broadcasting… … .”
“Yes, yes. I’m busy, so I’ll go and check it out!”
As Kim Du-ri quickly walked away, cutting off Ahn Chi-seop’s words, Ahn Chi-seop checked his cell phone again.
[A lightning comparison between Housekeeper (aka. Lee Dong Ha) and Vocal A.]
[The reason why Vocal A is not Lee Dong Ha.]
[Blue Porcelain’s Vocal A analyzed by a current vocal trainer.]
[Britain is surprised and America is turned upside down. The appearance of genius vocalist A!]
[Why did the British Prime Minister cheer after watching ?]
[A-Fly VS Blue Porcelain’s Vocal A. Analyzed by a former UFC fighter. Who will win?]
With typical nationalistic YouTubers and even aggro wreckers joining in, the recent hot topic is all about vocalist A of .
Nowadays, there is a saying that goes, “If you want to check out trends, start by looking at YouTube,” which shows how sensitive YouTube is to trends.
Many of the videos that ranked high on YouTube were about the vocalist of a rock band that appeared like a comet on .
If I had simply sung the song to the end, it would have been a one-time “Wow!”
Even if Lee Dong-ha had appeared with his face exposed, the waves wouldn’t have been this strong.
ended a little while ago, and even after 3 weeks, all people talk about is Vocal A.
For an issue to last for three weeks, it has to pique people’s curiosity.
Let’s start with who Vocal A is.
It continues with yes or no moving.
Stargram, which announces that Lee Dong-ha is overseas, shouts that they are not the ones who brought the eyewitness account.
Then, with vocalists like Vocal A and Lee Dong-ha, who are on an unprecedented level, appearing at the same time, a coliseum was opened to see who was better.
Whether it was because of the label of being from an idol audition show or because of the shocking first stage, when they eventually came to the conclusion that Vocal A was better than Lee Dong Ha, they chanted, “We are one!” and the NBD9 fandom and Lee Dong Ha’s previously quiet personal fandom joined the battle, holding the theory of Lee Dong Ha’s superiority.
This side’s firepower is formidable, but that doesn’t mean they’re winning.
NBD9’s rival group fandoms joined in large numbers in the group that said Vocal A was better. They had their own reasons for not liking the fact that a group with a flash of popularity was considered tier 1, but those reasons didn’t matter to Ahn Chi-seop.
“How could the waves stop like this? Hehehe… … .”
An Chi-seop held up his cell phone and let out a satisfied laugh.
What matters is the result.
‘Lee Dong-ha, this guy is a lucky guy… … .’
I’ve thought about this for a long time, but this guy doesn’t care how you use him. He’s obsessed with trivial things like whether you keep your promises or not.
So I’m keeping my promise not to reveal my identity, and I’m using it properly on the broadcast.
When I put in the fight scene, I was a little worried that it might upset Chairman Yoon Tae-joo… … and it was as expected.
A representative from A-Fly contacted us directly, but there has been no response from Blue Porcelain even after three weeks.
I know that guy’s personality, but the fact that he doesn’t talk much means that he doesn’t really care. That guy didn’t react at all even when people called him a house sitter or a sack of straw.
The fight scene hasn’t been used since the first broadcast.
Because I’m going to save that.
The group competition hasn’t even ended yet, and the judges’ scores and viewer voting results haven’t been revealed yet, but Ahn Chi-seop, as the general manager, already knows the situation.
‘A-Fly, Blue Porcelain. I’ll have to use it next time.’
Both teams easily qualified for the main competition.
The matchups for the upcoming main competition will be fair, but both teams have a high chance of making it to the top ranks anyway.
armed with skills and attracting all kinds of aggro.
is close to being an idol group with a stable fandom behind them.
The chances of these two teams meeting somewhere in the main tournament are much greater than the chances of them being eliminated midway.
“Excuse me… PD-nim. Who came to see you…?”
An Chi-seop lifted his head from his cell phone at someone’s words.
* * *
Producer Ahn Chi-seop, who has now become a well-known broadcaster, swallowed his breath.
‘Wasn’t it me picking that guy up back then? My life has been going through so many ups and downs since I got involved with that guy.’
When the waves get bigger, even a ship without power will head out to sea.
If you discover a new continent, it is a great voyage, but if you stop in the vast ocean, it is drifting.
An Chi-seop’s eyes scanned his surroundings for no reason.
I see colleagues who pretend not to care about this conference room.
“Where are you looking?”
An Chi-seop’s eyes quickly stared straight ahead at the sound he heard from in front.
“Ah… … I have panic disorder.”
“Oh my. That’s funny.”
“Ah… … haha… … .”
An Chi-seop looked into the eyes of the woman in front of him, then quickly averted his gaze.
If you were to assign charm to a voice, this woman’s voice would be truly alluring.
Of course, the world is evaluated three-dimensionally.
The fact that the voice is attractive while the audiovisual is present means that the visual is just as attractive as the auditory.
An Chi-seop’s big eyes staring at him intently.
A moderately high nose that glides over white, transparent skin.
Lips that make you think, “Is bright red lipstick this luxurious?”
-Gulp.
An Chi-seop looked at the woman again, wondering if the swallowing sound was too loud.
“Shouldn’t you ask why I’m here?”
“Ah… … . Yes, what brought you here… … ?”
“Pfft. You’re really funny, PD Ahn. Seon-ah, what’s going on? What should I do?”
An Chi-seop was grateful that another woman called Seon-a-ra kept a calm expression.
Otherwise, I would have wanted to crawl through the ground.
I know the woman sitting in front of me is pretty and attractive, but she’s someone I shouldn’t fall for.
‘Didn’t Yoon Tae-joo say he’s doing music…? … Didn’t Choi Tae-ho call him…? … Now, Goo Se-ryeong is coming in person. What’s this?’
It would have been enough to just attract viewer aggro, but even though it’s big, it’s still being approached by people who are too big and are being dragged into the aggro telling it to move.
TH Enter is a big company.
If you’re a broadcasting station PD, you can’t help but give it a try.
However, Cheong-A Enter is something different than a large corporation.
From the perspective of a music show PD, dealing with CheongA Entertainment itself would be easier than dealing with TH.
In the music field, TH is first and Cheong-A is third.
The difference lies in the power of the artists they bring with them.
but.
Even though Ahn Chi-seop turned a deaf ear to the request made directly by TH Entertainment CEO Choi Tae-ho, he had no choice but to shrink back when faced with Goo Se-ryeong, the owner of Cheong-A Entertainment.
This person was not just a simple entertainment company CEO, but a direct descendant of one of the most wealthy families in South Korea.
An Chi-seop, who had barely come to his senses, slowly spat out each word from his mouth.
“What brings you here… … .”
“I couldn’t just leave the artist in charge, I came here to at least say hello.”
“Ah… … That’s right. Blue… … Porcelain… … .”
“Isn’t that good?”
“yes?”
“Blue Porcelain. Did you like it?”
“Ah… … yes.”
“many?”
Looking at Gu Se-ryeong, who had a charming smile on her lips, Ahn Chi-seop slowly began to come to his senses as a broadcaster.
Rather, because it was so attractive, I realized the reality of the strangeness.
An Chi-seop cleared his throat and opened his mouth.
“Um… … Representative Gu Seol-ryeong over there?”
“Go ahead.”
“Can I ask… what brings you here?”
“I told you, didn’t I? I came here to ask you to take good care of our Blue Porcelain.”
“Um… … Sir, I’m sorry… … Not that. The real reason.”
At An Chi-seop’s words, Gu Se-ryeong’s smile subsided.
“You’re really funny, PD Ahn. You seemed out of your mind, but you’re back so quickly?”
“Haha… … Yes. Well… … I think you came because of the broadcast. Because that’s what my job is… … .”
“That’s actually good. I think the conversation will be a bit more proper now.”
For the first time, An Chi-seop did not avoid Gu Se-ryeong’s eyes.
Because usually this kind of thing is obvious.
I expected this. I just didn’t know it would come this late.
It will be the same for CEO Choi Tae-ho.
Because a provocative scene was shown on TV.
A ‘protest’ over the lack of feedback given in advance as to whether or not it could be exported.
In addition, there is a ‘request’ to not send out other content.
The act itself is not wrong.
If it ends up just being a ‘demand’.
And Ahn Chi-seop knows how to respond to such ‘requests’. He just says, “I’ll do that,” and lets it go.
Because it’s over once the screen goes off anyway.
However, since the person who came to see him was not someone who could just blurt out the information, Ahn Chi-seop, who was thinking in his head that he could make demands from the agency but would only do so as a reference, was asked a completely unexpected question.
“What are the results?”
“……yes?”
“The result. I just can’t wait.”
“Ah… … Ah? … … Ah, the results? Phew… … That’s… … The viewer vote hasn’t closed yet. The rule is that the judges’ evaluations are kept secret from the musicians until the viewer vote closes… … .”
“I thought we were talking a little, but you’re talking nonsense again, PD Ahn.”
“Yes? Then what kind of result are you talking about… … ?”
“Who won? Who won?”
“So… … I don’t know… … what you’re talking about… .”
“That ugly kid and our artist. In front of the bathroom. Should I explain further?”
“yes?”
Gu Seol-ryeong’s large, alluring eyes were reflected in An Chi-seop’s eyes, which were filled with doubt.
“There was something like a fight, it just gave off a whiff and the broadcast ended. So how did it end? The result. No, I waited and said, ‘Will you tell me this week? Will you tell me next week?’ Is it over? Like that?”
“……yes?”
“You know that the person who fought is our Dong-ha, right? The manager said he told the PD-nim.”
“Ah… … Yes. I know.”
“So. Did our Dong-ha win or lose?”
“… … .”
An Chi-seop rubbed his eyes and looked into Gu Se-ryeong’s eyes for a long time.
The once captivating eyes now look like those of a madman.
