chapter 23
23 – Next steps (1)
“hahahaha! Breaking through the highest viewership rating of 30%!”
Welcome Director Park Yong-oh smiled broadly as he checked Cafe Violet’s grades.
Episode 15 just aired yesterday, and the fight rate during the climax scene reached a whopping 30.8%.
The company atmosphere of Studio N Mix, which is achieving exceptional results, had no choice but to reach its peak.
The stock price, which had been on the decline, was gradually rebounding, and various broadcasting stations were still fiercely competing to obtain the right to air the next drama.
Even Sky Park, which was the filming location for the climax scene in episode 15 and rarely visited by people, became a popular tourist attraction as soon as episode 15 aired.
“Yes. The comments are also very upsetting.”
Na Young-jin also smiled heartily as she looked at the community’s reaction.
A topic that is currently heating up the community is about Seol So-young, who carried hard in the climax scene.
-Is this really Seol So-young’s first work? Then all the other actors will get kicked out
ㄴ ㄹㅇ ㅋ It was really the first time I got goosebumps watching an actor’s acting
ㄴ Current actors are feeling a sense of deprivation in real time
N Newcomer of the year award confirmed~
ㄴ What is the Rookie of the Year award?
Yes~ I’m sorry, but there has never been a case where a rookie received the grand prize~
-But this is not enough to praise Seol So-young.
Yes. Currently, when the news of Seol So-young’s casting was announced, all the people who cursed at her are all shutting their mouths.
– Just memorize it. Soyoung Seol + 927 Artist = Masterpiece
Nah, ah… 927 Writers. Are you again?
It’s just GOAT
Well, it wasn’t us who recognized Soyoung’s talent, it was the GOAT in the comments.
Anyway, the image of Studio N Mix has also improved, so I was just grateful to him.
“I want to have a group dinner right now, but I’m busy preparing for my next project, so that won’t be easy either.”
At that time, Director Park Yong-oh said with a slightly regretful look.
“Shouldn’t you row when the water comes in like the director said? Just give the employees incentives or generous amounts. Even now, I am excited about filming the next work of author 927.”
“Honestly, once you’ve pulled out a masterpiece, you can’t help but be greedy.”
“You are right… How does the director know that?”
Na Young-jin questioned Park Yong-oh’s words, which seemed to contain all the sweetness and bitterness of life.
Has this nobleman ever produced a work worthy of being called a masterpiece?
Park Yong-oh confidently answered that question.
“Hmm? Thanks to the author of 927, I finally realized it too, right?”
“???”
Na Young-jin couldn’t help but tilt her head at such an impudent answer.
“By the way, what is the author of 927 doing now? I heard that he lives at JYB all day on the weekend.”
“Yes. All the idols to be cast have been selected, and today, CEO Baek Joon-young and I are composing the OST for the drama.”
“Crazy. Do you know that he can compose too?”
“No. He just explained the lyrics and the mood of the song in detail, and after hearing that, CEO Baek Joon-young composes everything.”
“That alone is great enough. After all, he is a person who writes very well, so he is good at everything in that field?”
“What… Rather than that, the problem is that they both have strong perfectionist tendencies, so they really focus on composing all day long. To be honest, I am a little concerned.”
Na Young-jin visited JYB to check on her progress yesterday. And she couldn’t help but put on a tired expression as she watched the two of them pull out the song at a crazy speed.
Once you create one, move on to the next, and when opinions collide, a profound 100-minute discussion begins.
We repeated that process over and over again, and the number of OST songs we created yesterday was a whopping three.
“Hmm… You have a lot of passion for your next project. It seems that the attitude towards it is completely different from the previous work.”
After hearing Na Young-jin’s story, Park Yong-oh put on a puzzled expression.
“But why is the writer suddenly doing that? Even if CEO Baek Joon-young said it was to revitalize JYB, writer 927 would have no particular reason.”
“Ah, I’ve heard a little bit about that.”
I hope that my next work will become a hope for those who have given up on their dreams in a busy society.
This is clearly what the 927 writer used to persuade CEO Baek Joon-young.
And if you interpret these words, you can get a glimpse of the artist’s will.
It is the age to dream the most, but ironically, it is Korean middle and high school students who lose their dreams the most.
“Maybe it’s because the writer is a middle school student. There must be many students around him who are losing their dreams. I think the writer felt sorry for that and planned a drama called Fly High.”
“Huh, as expected, you are deep in thought. In the first place, that would be the role of us adults…….”
“So, even now, we should do our best to help the writer.”
“Yes. You are right. It’s always fast when you thought it was late.”
Just.
There was no way they knew.
Why did Eunwoo plan the drama Fly High for the first time and he is still putting a lot of effort into it?
Because there is only one Fly High…….
To be precise, it’s a story made for two mothers and daughters.
Meanwhile.
Inside a studio at JYB Entertainment.
Seo Eun-woo and Baek Joon-young were leaning back on the sofa with faces freed from each other.
“CEO. Aren’t we really going to die of overwork at this rate?”
“Then could you give me a break?”
“You know what?”
“Since I don’t want to know, I eat first. It’s quite late, so I’ll just have it delivered.”
Seo Eun-woo thought.
Um. You’re definitely more picky than the first time.
Maybe this is a bit disappointing?
“Good! Then let’s finish eating and think about the choreography. The OST work is almost done now.”
“That… 927 Author? Is tomorrow Monday?”
“Ah….”
Seo Eun-woo looked at the clock hanging on the wall.
The time is 9:30 PM.
As a middle school student, he had no choice but to go to school tomorrow.
That’s why Baek Joon-yeong smiled of conversion.
Fortunately, it seemed that there would be no running all night today.
“Then I’ll come back tomorrow after school.”
At those words, Baek Joon-young immediately turned his face.
“You really don’t have to come.”
“I like it too. Let’s continue working until this time tomorrow.”
“hahahaha… What kind of person can’t talk.”
Junyoung Baek shed tears inside.
I went through all these hardships to enjoy riches and fame…….
***
The OST and choreography of Eunwoo’s grunt and Baek Junyoung’s bloody tears were combined to create a satisfactory result.
In other words, it was said that it was okay to move on to the filming stage.
However, I have not yet talked about casting for a drama to an idol under JYB.
Because of this, Eunwoo asked Baek Joon-young again for not telling him about it, but from Baek Joon-young’s point of view, there was no choice but to feel unfair.
No, casting, composing, and choreography are pouring in one after another, but how can you humanly have the spirit to do that!
Anyway.
There was no special choice for him, who was in a relationship with thorough power.
Baek Joon-young hurriedly called the four idols who were selected by the 927 artist and explained her circumstances.
For reference, there was only one female idol, Lee Da-hye, and the other three were all male idols.
“Huh?! Are you asking us to act?”
At that time, Kang Ha-neul, who will be playing the role of ‘Min-jae’, shouted loudly.
“By the way, I ended up joining you too. How is it? Is your heart fluttering already?”
“… Is the representative acting? It just makes me dizzy rather than thrilled.”
“Then take motion sickness medicine.”
First of all, other idols also showed a little negative reaction like Kang Ha-neul.
It was natural.
In the first place, acting was far from their main job, and there was not even a worthy success story. Rather, there would be only negative gazes asking what kind of idol is acting.
It was only natural that the situation was still burdensome for the children.
But there was no way that Baek Joon-yeong and Eun-woo were unaware of their circumstances, so they prepared a strategy to seduce them.
“By the way, guys, do you know which drama production company offered us a casting?”
“Where are you taking a break?”
“Whoa whoop… The connection came from Studio N Mix.”
“S, Studio N Mix?!”
Idols widen their eyes in surprise when the name of the hottest production company is mentioned.
In particular, Lee Da-hye, who had been silently listening to her until now, exclaimed exclamation.
“And this is the most important thing. Who wrote the story of the work you guys will appear in?”
“Ser, no way…… !”
“Yes. He is the great writer who wrote the story of the drama Welcome Café Violet, the writer of 927. By the way, he personally selected you guys.”
Idols couldn’t bear to keep their mouths shut when they heard that the 927 artist had chosen them personally.
However, Baek Jun-young’s prepared lines were not over yet.
“Would you like to hear who plays the main character you will be cooperating with?”
“Couldn’t it be Seol So-yeong?”
“Is it Seol So-yeong?”
“My God… ….”
Two people boasting tremendous ripple power in the world these days.
To be able to appear in the same work as these two people and work together?
At that point, idols had already passed.
And finally…….
“Oh, that’s right. The author of 927 handed out his autograph as a way to ask for your support. He said that this is the first autograph in his life? Well, it certainly seems to be rare…….”
It is said that everyone turned a blind eye to the bribe given by the writer of 927 and readily accepted the casting offer.
