I Became a Producer Who Rewrites Idols

14 – Scout (3)

Producer Lim Boo-gil’s office—Producer Jo Hyun-ho, who entered room 302,

I immediately said hello to Manager Jeong Songi.

“At the direction of Manager Go, I have decided to be in charge of Cursed Dolls for the time being.”

“…… Yes? Producer Jo Hyun-ho?”

“Yes.”

Producer Jo Hyun-ho noticed that manager Jeong Song-i’s expression was rotting.

He saw it and felt it right away.

… This order from Director Ko Kang-tae,

It won’t be easy at all.

Squeak—.

Just then, Cursed Dolls members—Choi Joo-yoon, Kang Eva, and Gong Si-on—returned from a live music broadcast.

I immediately recognized a person I hadn’t seen in room 302, Producer Jo Hyeon-ho.

“Manager, who is this person?”

Gong Shi-on pointed to producer Jo Hyun-ho and asked manager Jeong Song-i.

Producer Cho Hyun-ho then approached the three Cursed Dolls members, bowed his head slightly, and answered directly.

“Hello, I am producer Jo Hyun-ho.”

When he heard the word ‘producer’, Gong Si-on’s face distorted.

Producer Cho Hyun-ho had a hunch once again.

There’s going to be a lot of chaos….

“This is Producer Lim Boo-gil’s office. Why is Producer Jo Hyeon-ho there?”

“By the instructions of Manager Go Kang-tae—.”

Gong Shi-on cut off Producer Jo Hyun-ho’s words,

“This is producer Lim Boo-gil’s office!! “The manager said that Producer Jo Hyeon-ho of Room 302 should now have it?!”

I screamed.

“Oh, no, that’s not it—.”

“Ugh, huh… ….”

Choi Joo-yoon sat down on the spot, covered his face with both hands, and began to wail loudly.

Producer Cho Hyun-ho had no desire to own room 302, but

Cursed Dolls members guessed wrong and acted like people living in mourning.

“Please listen to me. I am just a temporary producer while Producer Lim is busy for the time being. “This is not at all the producer replacement you might think.”

“Don’t scold me!! “Are you trying to get away with it just because we’re young?!”

“No, not at all. I’m only here while Producer Lim is busy. “Manager and producer duties are different, so you need to be a temporary producer for your activities to run smoothly.”

“Exactly how long does that last!! One month turned into two months, two months turned into four months, four months turned into eight months, and eventually Producer Jo Hyun-ho is trying to swallow it up!!”

Producer Cho Hyun-ho was on the verge of turning away.

Usually, the relationship between a producer and an idol is purely business-like.

I don’t cry to leave the building like this just because the producer in charge is changing, not just temporarily.

If you were close, you would just say that you regret the friendship you had for so long.

What exactly is this Cursed Dolls’ obsession with producer Lim Boo-gil?

Manager Jeong Song-i, who was supposed to explain properly, just stood still with a gloomy look on his face.

Ding—.

Eva Kang picked up her smartphone, and a sound rang from Choi Joo-yoon and Gong Si-ion’s pockets.

Choi Ju-yoon and Public Temperature I took my smartphone out of my pocket and checked the notifications.

“Is this true?! “Eva’s dad is a reporter at a broadcasting station?!”

“Then we can appeal that this measure is unfair… !!”

“Producer Im Boo-gil helped us come this far, so now it’s our turn to protect Producer Im Boo-gil!!”

“That’s right… !! Since my dad is a lawyer, I’ll check to see if this is legal… !!”

“Yes, yes!! What was I? Signature campaign? “I’ll find out how to do that!!”

Like a runaway locomotive, the Cursed Dolls members responded quickly.

I just followed my boss’ instructions, but the situation grew out of control.

But if you run to Manager Go Kang-tae and tell him that it is absolutely difficult to become a temporary producer,

Even when Producer Lim Boo-gil becomes senior, it becomes difficult to work under him.

There is nothing we can do.

Pride must be thrown away.

Producer Cho Hyun-ho took a deep breath,

I knelt down on the floor and bowed.

“Everyone, please!! Please listen to me!!”

Is it true that one action is more important than a thousand words?

The conversation between Cursed Dolls members stopped for a moment.

“As you may already know, won’t Producer Im Boo-gil be promoted to senior if his new project is successful? I would like to work under Senior Producer Lim Boo-gil. Please give me just one chance.”

“”… ….””

As the smartphone notification sound continued to ring, Joo-yoon Choi and Sion Gong discussed in whispers.

I did this, but if it didn’t work, there was no answer.

Gong Shi-on turned his head to producer Cho Hyun-ho.

“We don’t listen to anything other than producer Lim Boo-gil’s instructions. So, first of all, if Producer Lim Boo-gil tells me to follow Producer Jo Hyun-ho’s instructions, then I will follow them.”

“…… All right.”

“And the moment they try to put even a finger on our body or seduce us… , you know?”

“I will keep this in mind…” .”

Producer Cho Hyun-ho thought.

I hope Producer Lim Boo-gil succeeds in his new project.

Only then will we be able to escape from these crazy Cursed Dolls….

[12:17 PM]

Because today is Wednesday, just one more person will appear at the Donggyo-dong intersection.

In the [Idol Producing] Game, the characters that could be scouted on the streets were different each day of the week.

Jo Min-ju also got on her nerves, thinking that she almost passed by in an instant.

I didn’t know where the idol I wanted would be.

Because the background CG of the Donggyo-dong intersection was reused in the game, I couldn’t tell exactly where I was walking around.

“Hey, don’t you apologize for bumping into me?!”

“Hey, hehehe…” !”

At that time, I heard fighting sounds to my right.

Rather than fighting, one side was making a one-sided threat.

I turned my head to the right where the sound came from.

There was a high school girl wearing a school uniform and a man with a gold necklace and bulging muscles.

Of course, the high school girl was frightened by the man’s loud voice.

[Name: Gu Ga-eun]

[Age: 18]

[Fatigue: ??]

[Vocal: ?? / Dance: ?? / Talking: ?? / Visual: ??]

[Current thoughts: ??]

This high school girl was the second idol character I looked for today.

“Please stop, sir.”

He tapped the man on the shoulder and said.

“What are you?!”

“I think I accidentally bumped into you, but aren’t you being too sensitive?”

“What?! No, this bastard is so sensitive that he crashes into me while running at full speed and it hurts me to death?! “Would you like to try it too?”

… If you were hit by someone who was sprinting at full speed, you could get hurt beyond pain.

I understood why the man was angry.

“Huh… ! I’m sorry… !! Well, they told me to buy bread and come back within 5 minutes… !!”

“I don’t know your circumstances!! Oh sh*t, it f*cking hurts. “Hey, I have to go to the hospital, so give me your parents’ contact information.”

“Well, just about that…” !! Please, please just take a look… !!”

“What the f*ck, are you kidding me? Uh? Do you want to pay the hospital bill? Should I call the police?!”

It wasn’t an act, it looked like his shoulder really hurt.

But that doesn’t mean he can just go away while Gu Ga-eun did something wrong.

“Teacher, my name is Lim Boo-gil, a producer at Lucky Seven Entertainment.”

“Whatever that is!”

I tried to give the man a business card, but he didn’t even look at me.

… Well, I’m just a passerby, and even though I’m a producer, to this man I’m just an office worker.

Of course, such a reaction was inevitable.

“This child is an idol from our Lucky Seven Entertainment company.”

“Idol? “He??”

The man looked at Gu Ga-eun with a puzzled expression.

Gu Ga-eun also made an expression as if she had no idea how the situation was going in response to my sudden bullsh*t.

“So the duty of management and supervision lies with our company.”

“Really? “Then pay the treatment fee.”

“You can file a lawsuit.”

“What are you doing, you idiot? Lawsuit?”

“Yes. If what you say is true, it will be ruled that Lucky Seven Entertainment is responsible. Then we will compensate you legally.”

The man said, “Ha, f*ck…” .” He sighed.

Even if you file a lawsuit over your shoulder, you will naturally pay more in attorney fees.

Furthermore, in a situation where there was no evidence that Gu Ga-eun had broad shoulders, this man had no means of legally proving it.

… Actually, Goo Ga-eun’s early story was a bit criticized.

Even though the man was a bit sheepish, it was Gu Ga-eun’s fault anyway, because the main character, the producer, appeared very shamelessly.

“You bastards….”

The man cursed and left.

Holding onto his shoulders while shrinking his body….

“Oh, that…. Okay, thank you….”

Gu Ga-eun said, bowing her head very politely.

“But you are really the producer of Lucky Seven Entertainment… ?”

“That’s right.”

I gave the business card I was planning to give to the man earlier to Gu Ga-eun.

Gu Ga-eun received the business card and looked at it curiously.

… Since you’re still young, you probably won’t receive many business cards, but it won’t be that surprising.

“Wow…. You really are the producer of Lucky Seven Entertainment…. Tremendous….”

“Thank you.”

Unlike Jo Min-joo, who was suspicious, Koo Ga-eun completely believed in it with just a business card and my words.

He had long black hair like Jo Min-ju, but

I buttoned my shirt all the way up and tied my tie so tight that I thought my neck might feel stuffy.

To be honest, while Jo Min-joo was a bit reckless, I got the impression that Koo Ga-eun was a model student.

Thanks to the horn-rimmed glasses, that was a big deal.

“But why does my shoulder hurt so much…?” .”

Gu Ga-eun said, holding her shoulder.

… That’s right, the person you hit hit the shoulder hard enough that it hurt a lot, so of course it hurts you too.

“Go to the hospital.”

“Yes? Well, I need to quickly buy some bread and give it to you….”

Gugaeun was the so-called bread shuttle.

She was teased by other kids at school.

However, she was the only one who did not notice the fact.

So she really and purely understood that her friends had asked her for her bread.

“It’s okay, just trust me, the producer of Lucky Seven Entertainment.”

“Ah! Yes!”

… What on earth is Lucky Seven Entertainment to Gu Ga-eun?

She took me to an orthopedic clinic nearby.

As a result of taking pictures around her old Ga-eun’s shoulders,

It was incontinence.

No, it must really hurt.

Didn’t that guy earlier also have incontinence?

I felt a little sorry.

Goo Ga-eun came out of the orthopedic clinic with a cast on her shoulder.

Her expected treatment period was 4 weeks.

However, according to the game story, he was completely cured to the point where he could exercise within two weeks.

… There was a setting that she had an unusually fast recovery speed.

“Okay, thank you…” . Please pay the hospital bills instead….”

“Is your name Ga-eun?”

“Yes, yes. How did you know… ?”

“I was next to you when you checked in at the hospital earlier.”

“Ah… !”

Now it was time to get to the point.

… Time had already passed and the clock showed three o’clock.

There were more waiting patients at the hospital than expected, so it took time.

“Ga-eun, do you want to become an idol?”

“Yes… ? Ah, an idol… ? Me… ??”

“Yes, I want to produce Ga-eun.”

“But I’m not very pretty…. I can’t sing or dance……. Wouldn’t it just be embarrassing… ?”

“I won’t embarrass Ga-eun.”

Gu Ga-eun said, opening her eyes wide.

“I guess so… ! Because it’s Lucky Seven… !!”

“…… Yes, that’s right. “Because it’s Lucky Seven.”

Goo Ga-eun was very creditable to Lucky Seven Entertainment.

“Ha, I’ll give it a try, idol…” !”

“Yes.”

“Then what should I do first…” ?”

“You have to glue the cracked bone first, right?”

“Ah… ! I guess so. “Once the bones are all together, can I call the number listed here?”

“Yes. Oh, please also write and send the parental consent form. Ga-eun must never sign on her behalf or forge it, and her parents must sign for her?”

“Okay… !”

Hand over a consent form,

I drove Gu Ga-eun to school.

Gu Ga-eun got out of the car and spoke through the driver’s seat window.

“I’ll do my best as an idol… ! Obtain proper permission from your parents… !!”

Ding—.

The status window reopened.

[Name: Gu Ga-eun]

[Age: 18]

[Fatigue: 28]

[Vocal: 14 / Dance: 25 / Talking: 39 / Visual: 40]

[Current Thoughts: Idol… ! Lucky Seven Idol… !!]

It was the same as the default before Gu Ga-eun’s training.

… To be honest, her initial abilities were quite miserable,

That’s why it’s rewarding to nurture them. She returned to her company, replying that she would see her in 4 weeks when everything was cured.

***

With the bundle of cash given by Jeong Oh-jun, the new producers – Joo Do-yeon, Go Na-kyung, Yang Hae-in, and Jin Hae-sol – had fun for the first time in a long time.

I slept well, ate whatever I wanted, and all the fatigue from the past was washed away.

But that happiness ended after two weeks.

Starting from the third week, anxiety began to increase in the hearts of the four people again.

“… Hey, are we really okay like this?”

Joo Do-yeon looked at Go Na-kyung, Yang Hae-in, and Jin Hae-sol and said.

After Na-kyung Go and Hae-sol Jin were forced by producer Oh Jung-jun to film a s*xual scene, Hae-in Yang stopped them.

Producer Jeong Oh-jun did not schedule anything for Berries.

Even training.

I was just staying at the dorm.

The producer had to do all of the lessons, including those with an instructor, or even renting the company’s training room without an instructor.

Work was still at zero, and the very small Berryz fan cafe was gradually drying up.

Even an article stating that Berryz’s activities were actually suspended was posted on the Internet media.

Producer Jeong Oh-jun did not refute the article.

“…… “Of course, I had to follow the producer’s instructions.”

“Haesol unni!! “Do you want to sell your body like that to get popular?!”

“I’m selling it because someone wants to sell it…” !! So what are you going to do? Do you want to just hang out at the dorm like this and then the project ends and the group disbands?”

“That’s better for body and arm bars.”

“…… “It’s because you’re still young and not desperate.”

“Sister!!”

Jinhae Sol got up from her living room and went into her room.

Joo Do-yeon, who heard about producer Jeong Oh-jun’s actions from Yang Hae-in, first praised Yang Hae-in for saving Jin Hae-sol and Go Na-kyung.

However, Joo Do-yeon could not forget the bundle of cash that Yang Hae-in brought and that producer Oh Jung-jun had given her.

It was a large amount of money that Joo Do-yeon, who had been a trainee for 5 years, had never touched before.

“I will negotiate with the producer.”

“What? Doyeon, what are you going to do?”

“Na-kyung and Hae-in told me not to do such dirty things because you are minors….”

“Then Doyeon and Haesol do something dirty?!”

“… “At the level of just taking quick photos.”

“Are you crazy?! Haesol unni and Doyeon unni too, if you sell your body, you are a prostitute or an idol!!”

Joo Do-yeon chuckled once.

What was so funny, Yang Hae-in couldn’t understand.

“I’ll ask you to release a new song instead. If me and Haesol sell our bodies and release our new song, well, Haein, it won’t be bad for you, right? “It’s not like you’re selling your body.”

“No, Doyeon unni!! Say that now!”

“If I quit being an idol now, the only thing I can do is be a bar girl or a prostitute.”

“… ….”

Yang Hae-in could not say anything.

A person whose highest level of education is a middle school graduate, who does not know how to do anything else, and who does not have the money to get a job or study right away,

Because I knew that he was the leading lover.

Because my family was poor, I couldn’t rely on my parents.

“I’ll talk to Haesol.”

Joo Do-yeon wakes up in the living room and heads to Jin Hae-sol’s room.

Yang Hae-in could not be stopped.

I just lowered my head and stayed still.

A person came into Yang Hae-in’s mind.

Although he was incompetent, he was handsome, fed him and put him to sleep when he was having a hard time, helped him debut, and never made him do strange things.

Producer Lim Boo-gil.

‘Producer… ….’

It was the biggest regret of my life.
