Debut or Die chapter 588
Afterwards, the production team diligently explained the current situation and future filming plans.
"The duties assigned to you will take turns. Starting tomorrow, local specialties and food from local restaurants will also be airlifted... ."
They didn't get defensive and were sincere.
In addition, the final blow came when the production team even released the first episode video that had been temporarily edited.
Bae Se-jin couldn't help but focus on the words, 'I'll show you in what context this extreme composition environment came about.'
The monitors of the editing equipment that had been transported to the mountains of Gangwon-do began to spit out videos with only rough subtitles... .
Something you couldn't even imagine comes out.
[I asked Testar.] [Great creations come from ??]
"...??"
[Raebin Kim: Yes! I think so!]
that... It was a brief, passing interview with people I contacted as part of the behind-the-scenes production team while leaving the awards ceremony a few weeks ago!
"Now, wait a minute. Those people... ."
"yes. In fact, they were all members of our production team."
"......."
Testar's opinions on 'creation' came out quickly.
[Great creation comes from.] [Lee Se-jin: Because being skilled in anything is ultimately important~ That's my opinion!]
Numerous attempts.
At the time, I just passed it off as being very Lee Sejin-like, but hearing it like this... .
'... no way?'
Bae Se-jin swallowed his saliva.
From his own answer 'fierce concern' on screen to Sun Ah-hyun's 'time'... Amidst various opinions.
last.
Cha Eugene filled in the phrase with a bright face.
[Great creations come from.] [Cha Eugene: Is that me?]
he is... They mistook it for a Korean proverb!
And he leisurely followed his hyungs and excitedly left the red carpet at the awards ceremony.
[Writer Lee: Oh, no.] [Writer Park: Ugh, Mr. Eugene!!] [PD: Haha] [PD: Hahahahahaha]
And the huge movie subtitles that come to mind.
[Testar's fate] [Testar has decided!]
"......."
"......."
"here... "Did it come out?"
"yes."
Bae Se-jin closed his eyes tightly!
"Based on this, we created games and roles... ."
Now this... It was an environment created by matching the keywords suggested by Testa's answers.
"Actually, it wasn't all bad, but the environment was going to change quickly depending on the outcome of the game."
"......."
"But then again, I had really bad luck with the game... "The results are extreme."
An extreme situation by chance? It can't help but be funny.
In fact, there were some differences of opinion among the production crew about the uneven supply of food, but most of them thought it would be okay since it was only one day.
In many entertainment shows, you play a game with a meal at stake, and if you fail, it is often not given at all.
Moreover, Testar seemed to overcome it very cheerfully.
However, it did not properly consider how anxious the cast would be by not telling them how long this situation would last.
"It's hard to deliberately choose a picture like this, but it came out naturally... I guess our greed was too big. I'm really sorry. under... ... ."
"no... ... . "Yeah, yeah."
So in the end, Bae Se-jin also nodded.
Since the production crew readily acknowledged their mistake, it was difficult to say anything more.
In fact, there were some answers that were inconsistent with the key blind spots he wanted to talk about... ... .
'If this is enough... I think it'll be okay.'
After realizing that the other party also had difficulties, anguish, and various circumstances, Bae Se-jin also became hesitant to probe too much into their principles of behavior.
If he had been alone, he might have done it, but he was currently filming team content.
'... okay!'
I'll end here and return to the members with the news that 'the conversation ended well.'
That was when he decided to do so.
"hey."
Someone suddenly raised their hand.
"I have a question."
"...?"
It was Park Moon-dae who had been quietly standing behind him like a bodyguard without saying a word.
"What happened to the CM song we made?"
"yes?"
"Raebin didn't participate."
You're just going to hit me like this?
Even Bae Se-jin, who visited the production team like a bulldozer, was a little embarrassed.
Park Moon-dae took a slight curve here.
"I was expecting Raebin to compose a song, but I spent the night awake last night thinking that he wasn't on the list and what if the advertisers sued me... ."
"Sigh!"
I slightly lower my head with an expressionless expression, but somehow... He looked resigned and empty.
"We're not being sued, are we?"
"Sure!"
'S-serious, but... It's not serious.'
The atmosphere did not become heavier, but it was now impossible to proceed without the production team responding.
Bae Se-jin opened his mouth and began to watch Park Moon-dae dig up the production team.
* * *
So far, I have been watching the production team diligently explain the situation to Bae Se-jin.
As time passed, the atmosphere got better.
'I knew it would be like this.'
Bae Se-jin's fighting power dropped from the moment he sympathized with the other guy's situation.
It seemed like the production crew had crossed a line a bit, but since we responded so well and supported it, they seemed to accept that they couldn't stop and just stepped on the accelerator.
The cast members are having a harder time than expected. It seems like they've gotten over the unconscious thought, 'If we appear on a variety show, wouldn't that mean we're going to have a hard time?'
'I was excited.'
I understand how things are going.
However, since the production team was so cooperative, I also knew what their intention was in releasing a provisionally edited first episode.
I rubbed my chin inwardly.
'this... First, they started talking among themselves.'
I wonder if we have gone too far.
Then, when Bae Se-jin contacted me, it was obvious that I thought, 'Oh, get hot!' and prepared an expected answer on my own.
Look at the slap on the PD's back earlier.
'They decided to sacrifice the PD as a sacrifice for the atmosphere.'
Well, the atmosphere was amicable, and I received plenty of apologies... . Can they just answer what they want to answer?
'What about the CM song?'
Did you tell the advertisers that you made this team without the official producing members and that you played around with feedback?
This was the most serious part of Bae Se-jin's criticism because it was a team career issue, but he just avoided answering this?
Of course, neither the PD nor Ryu Seo-rin are people who view capitalism as water. On the contrary, he is the type that really enjoys the taste of capitalism.
There must have been good measures in place.
But this is something I don't want to tell the cast just yet.
'It's like letting it resolve itself as filming progresses.'
That's why I guess they avoided this topic as much as possible. I'm afraid that the picture taken may look unnatural.
But here, 'Oh, that's right. Let's take it into account. The production team had a hard time.' What happens if you look at it like this?
On the contrary, it is not something we saw.
The production staff must have thought that they prepared well in advance and successfully and skillfully handled the cast member's protest.
'That won't work.'
So I stabbed him openly.
"ah... "That's it."
And in the end, the truth revealed by the production team that could not be avoided was... .
"Actually, I'm talking about the CM song... Advertisers didn't know that Testa was composing this song."
"......."
"......."
"yes?"
"We originally planned to use it as BGM during the PPL in our program."
So, it was our own CM song that came in addition to the PPL... This is it.
It is not the pinnacle of advertising and marketing where the fate of the company depends!
"Well, then what about the CM song auction?"
"In fact, an auction was held based on the proportion of PPL. KPOP target idol testars are coming out. How much will they show sincerity and sincerity? Things like that."
They didn't know that Gwangjo owners would also follow the CM song that Testa composed himself.
When I turn my head, I see Bae Se-jin unable to keep his mouth shut.
'This...' Should I say they are scammers... .'
wait for a sec.
I raised my head with a sudden thought.
"Then the songs we've made so far... ?"
"You just thought our outsourcing staff made it, right?"
then.
The crazy, crazy feedback we received on the first song, no way.
"yes. That's really what the person in charge of the advertising company said... ."
"......."
"You probably thought I was an outsourcing official who didn't know who I was, right?"
oh my god.
The feedback is full of bullshit... This is the reality of a new unknown composer.
'Fuck... .'
There is no separate social accusation documentary.
I pressed both eyes roughly.
"... ... "Wouldn't the company that put in the PPL be criticized for damaging its image?"
However, Ryu Seorin remained calm.
"what... "It's not a criticism of a PPL product or a company, and we can't take responsibility for the public opinion that naturally arises because of the person in charge."
"... ... Ah, yes."
It can be summarized as, 'So who would hire such a crappy person in charge?'
"Anyway, so it ended up like this."
Ryu Seorin hesitated a bit and then added.
"Since it was made in one day and under poor conditions anyway, I thought I would be freer from evaluating the results than if I made it in the best environment."
"......."
"Even if you want to criticize the song and say it's not good, you can also rebute things like, 'Can you hear that sound even after looking at that environment?'"
If a song does well, it's thanks to the idols, and if it doesn't, it's thanks to the production team.
'I did my best to reduce the burden.'
"And if the reviews are good... 'Wow, even if you don't know about Testar, the song we made is getting rave reviews even without the main producing member!' "You will feel proud of yourself."
Then, step by step, viewers become familiar with the composition process, and the potential is revealed with authentic composition content.
as soon as... .
"OST."
"...!"
That was actually the main advertiser and main content of this program.
Bae Se-jin's pupils trembled.
"B-but. Just before I joined, the drama production company said, 'It looks fun' and decided on a PPL on the spot... ."
"I was acting to catch Sejin."
"......."
Bae Se-jin slumped down in a chair.
It seemed like he no longer felt betrayed.
'... It must have been funny.'
I briefly acknowledged the moment when all these twists were revealed.
* * *
"You will be able to compose the main content in a truly proper environment!"
"That's right! "Don't worry."
"... yep."
The interview with the production crew ended well, and we were able to leave the production crew's residence and return to the mountain cabin.
'It was okay.'
I clearly knew these people's intentions, and I definitely received an apology.
The PD even confessed this somewhat openly as he was sending off, saying, "I was just going out to smoke."
"The Testars are doing so well... I thought it was a level where we didn't have to worry about what we thought. "I thought, 'If I really don't like it or am in trouble, I'll talk about it.'"
"......."
This means that he created a formula for Testa in his brain by selecting the characteristics of a skilled entertainer and a first-tier idol according to his taste.
I'm glad you reflected.
I looked at the PD blankly.
"Do you think it was a bad decision?"
"... Yes?"
"Then I can cook from tomorrow onwards."
"... "But you still have to play the game."
I looked at the PD again without saying anything, and soon he complained.
"Ah, I'll let you keep trying again until you pick someone in charge of the kitchen!"
"You made an excellent choice."
Clap clap clap.
That's how the conversation ended.
Although the PD behaved a bit poorly until the end.
"... I was planning to reveal all the secrets of the CM song after Loveviewer's online listening session... . Just in case, please keep it a secret from the other members until then."
"I can't."
"......."
"I am a very honest person with my members."
"I know... ."
There is no way.
"I'll do a good job of pretending to be surprised even if I find out, so don't worry."
"...!"
I smiled faintly and looked back at the production crew.
"Please trust Testar."
"... sure. "The entire production team has great faith in our entertainment genius Testa!"
Keep your mouth alive.
Anyway, the production crew who secretly opened the door and watched laughed a little, and we also smiled and walked over to greet the PD.
"Please come in safely!"
The aftertaste wasn't bad.
However, there was a commotion at Testar's accommodation upon arrival.
"Oh, guys. "Did the story go well?"
"you... "Don't be surprised when you hear it."
"...??"
The members shudder as they hear the twists and turns, and Kim Rae-bin strengthens his resolve by saying that he will escape from hotel hell tomorrow.
By the time I went to bed after the mess, it was already dawn.
"......."
And Bae Se-jin lay still, and after confirming that I was not sleeping, he quietly opened her mouth.
"Park Mun-dae."
"yes."
"you... ... "It was amazing."
hmm?
"So, elicit the answers you want to hear, but don't ruin the mood of the conversation."
did something
"It's all just a trick, right?"
Babies who talk like this usually have a tiring personality. They all have pros and cons.
Besides that.
"This wouldn't have happened if my brother hadn't decided to tell me in the first place. What are you talking about?"
"...!"
If this guy hadn't said anything, most of the members of this team would have just endured it and completed the filming somehow.
'But I'm getting a bit fed up with it.'
So what happened?
If you keep going like that... Maybe next time I would really have a falling out with this production team.
In that sense, this guy's inflexible ethical temperament contributed in a unique way to the team.
enough.
"I was fortunate that my hyung calmly said what he wanted to say."
"... thank you."
Bae Se-jin was silent for a moment.
And he added in a slightly brighter voice.
"I think it was a good idea to talk about it today."
"I think so."
"Me too."
"......."
"... Cha Eugene, why aren't you sleeping?"
"This is a room for three people. "It's my heart."
"haha!"
It is said that Bae Se-jin slept very sweetly and comfortably that day, even though it was only three or four hours.
* * *
And after some time.
As Testar's story about being confined in a mountain cabin spreads, they finally begin to compose in earnest.
Season 2 OST.
An imaginary world covered in snow.
Jeong Yi-sol's theme song.
