Entertainment Life With A Camera

Chapter 90:

Chapter 90

Let’s do it again without mentioning Awi.

“Can we really eat this?”

“Of course. But don’t eat too much, the shooting might take a long time.”

“Okay.”

The members put down the chicken legs they had picked up with a gloomy expression. 

The camera was not even set up yet.

“Didn’t they say this was a new product?”

“It smells like spicy fried chicken. Or sweet and sour pork.”

“It tastes like that too. You’re the master of chicken, Kim Joo-young.”

Jo Tae-woong gave Kim Joo-young a thumbs up after taking a bite.

“It’s awesome.”

“Delicious?”

The photographer, who had finished setting up the camera, captured that moment.

“You guys were great just now! Very natural!”

As if they were waiting for that cue, the members lifted the chicken legs again. 

There were only chicken legs, no other parts, because it was an advertisement shooting.

“Don’t focus too much on eating and smile brightly!”

The staff’s advice to not eat too much was unnecessary. 

They ate so eagerly that the photographer had to warn them.

The next day after the chicken advertisement, they had a photo shoot for a magazine. 

It was a fall fashion photo shoot for the upcoming season, and it was a luxury clothing photo shoot.

“The clothes are amazing, aren’t they?”

“Did our jawlines look like that?”

The members admired the photos they had taken together. 

Jo Tae-woong rubbed his chin and pretended to cut paper with it.

“Ouch!”

“Jo Tae-woong, you’re so cheesy.”

“The faces came out really well. Is this another booster for our popularity?”

They had lost some weight from touring overseas and performing, and their faces became sharper as well. The results were better than expected.

“Let’s change clothes and take another round.”

The confident members looked at the camera with cool expressions.

After finishing the magazine photo shoot, Awi headed to the company to prepare for the award ceremony stage.

It was when Ian was practicing the choreography for the bonus track that Kim Hyun had made with the members.

“Ian, come to the conference room for a minute.”

“Ian, bring me some ice cream when you come back!”

“Don’t be late!”

It was time to practice as a group, not individually, so the members were happy to have a break and lay down on the floor.

“Some people came from Shinwa Media Group.”

“Really?”

They had only agreed to appear two days ago and they came in person? Already?

When Ian opened the door of the conference room, there were quite a few people sitting inside.

“Did you call me?”

Ian greeted Director Seo Su-ryeon as if he didn’t know her. Next to her were vocal teacher Lee Hee-jin and a woman with flashy makeup. There were also people who looked like broadcasting staff holding cameras.

“These are the people from Idol Uni.”

Then who was the person sitting next to Lee Hee-jin?

“This is Yewen Li, the investor.”

The investor came in person.

“*Nice to meet you.”

Yewen Li spoke in English and reached out her hand to Ian. He shook her hand and sat in an empty seat.

“*I couldn’t wait after you agreed to appear, so I came here myself.”

Yewen Li blushed. She came to make sure he wouldn’t change his mind and brought the production team with her to film the teaser for the first greeting of the trainer.

[Did you just come to see him?]

‘Is that so?’

Yewen Li looked embarrassed and whispered in Chinese with Lee Hee-jin.

“*Are we filming now? I haven’t learned how to greet properly yet…”

“*It’s okay. Just speak comfortably in English. It will be short.”

The person who looked like a broadcasting staff said. He still had the makeup on from the photo shoot.

The staff set up the camera and Ian stood in front of it with a microphone.

“*Hello. I’m Ian from Awi.”

“*Wait a minute, let’s do it again without Awi.”

What am I supposed to say then? I’m from Awi. Ian looked at the production team with a puzzled expression.

“*Why? Oh, because of Hanhanryeong?”

“*Yes, the subtitle will say global boy group.”

What kind of Hanhanryeong is that? They lumped together my group like that. He was unhappy but he had no choice but to do as they said.

“Hello, I’m Ian, the vocal trainer for this project.”

The staff nodded with satisfaction at his introduction.

Ian finished the video shooting as easily as roasting beans on a fire and then took some photos against the white wall in the hallway.

‘My hair is a mess after practicing…’

He posed with one hand sweeping his bangs. The photographer gave him a thumbs up.

“Let me take some shots of you practicing as the last part.”

“With our members?”

“Yes, ‘Side Effect’ is famous in China too.”

“Our leader hyung would be happy to hear that.”

Did it matter if only the group name was wrong? 

Ian went down to the practice room with the people gathered in the conference room.

‘Wait.’

Ian, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped. 

The members should have looked normal.

‘Do you know what our members are doing right now?’

[Who can crawl like a worm faster? They were having a competition.]

‘Sigh…’

Ian rubbed his forehead with a sigh. What was he supposed to do?

Seo Suryeon and Lee Heejin, who knew that the members sometimes acted weird, exchanged glances and pushed Ian’s back.

“Go and check what the kids are doing first.”

“Okay.”

Ian sprinted to the practice room. As soon as he opened the door, Park Jinhyuk, who had pulled up his practice pants like diaper pants, was dancing wildly. Was it a penalty time?

He wanted to watch and laugh with the other members, but unfortunately he couldn’t. Ian shouted loudly.

“Quick, get into broadcast mode!”

“Why?”

“We came here to shoot a video in China!”

“What!”

The members moved swiftly.

Kim Hyun and Kim Juyoung pretended to practice their choreography by turning on the music, Park Jinhyuk pulled down his pants and became a fierce rapper in an instant. 

Lee Juhyuk looked at the blank screen of his tablet pad with a serious expression and Jo Taewoong and Park Seodam sat on either side of him.

“Are you guys okay for a moment?”

Seo Suryeon, who arrived at the practice room first, sighed with relief at the normal appearance of the members.

***

After that storm passed, it was the next day. 

Awi had continuous practice schedules until they boarded the plane to finish their tour.

Ian, who was coordinating the rough schedule of Usang Uni in the conference room, headed to the practice room.

“Ian, you’re here?”

“Yes, teacher. Where are you going? Don’t you have to watch us?”

“I’ll be back after checking on some trainees next door.”

The choreographer rushed into the next practice room. 

Ian tilted his head and opened Awi’s practice room door.

“What? What happened while I was in the conference room?”

The expressions of the members except Kim Hyun and Kim Juyoung were not good.

“Where’s Juyoung teacher?”

“Next practice room, why?”

“Aaah!”

Jo Tae-woong knelt down and screamed. It was obvious that the choreography plan had come out. Ian snatched the pad from Jo Tae-woong’s hand.

“What, this is not bad…”

Ian’s expression gradually darkened. 

There was no intense acrobatic movement, but a more difficult choreography had appeared.

It was a time-lapse choreography, which required precise timing to avoid breaking the overall picture. 

It was a choreography that focused on the whole picture rather than on individual attention, and it looked cool to watch.

“No…”

Ian laughed bitterly.

He waited until the excitement of the Awi members in the next practice room subsided, and then casually checked the posture of the trainees, hoping that the dance members would handle it somehow.

The choreographer left, so the arrow turned to Kim Hyun and Kim Joo-young.

“Joo-young, you made this too, right?”

“Hyung! What is this!”

Kim Hyun said leisurely.

“Hey, we can do this at our level.”

“That bastard got high on monthu…”

“Just try it and see. We can do it, right?”

“Hyung, we are not professional dancers.”

They had to sing while doing this choreography. Park Seo-dam frowned as if he had no confidence.

How can I do this… Lee Joo-hyuk patted Park Seo-dam’s shoulder and said.

“Guys, let’s just try to match it simply. This is just a draft choreography.”

“Shall we? Where should we start?”

Lee Joo-hyuk smiled as he saw the members who had forgotten their frustration and got up quickly.

“Just this part. You do this movement here and gather in a line.”

The movement itself was simple. However, they had to gather in a few seconds with a certain timing.

“Let’s do it, one two three…”

Poh, Ian followed the front member and lined up behind him, then stretched out his arm.

“…It works?”

“Wow!”

The members cheered. Kim Hyun and Kim Joo-young shrugged their shoulders confidently.

“I was right, wasn’t I? We can do it.”

“I just felt a thrill. Let’s do it again.”

This time they practiced the movement with music and video recording ready. The result was perfect.

“Crazy. Why are you so good?”

“What about you?”

Park Jin-hyuk and Kim Hyun praised each other as they looked at each other. 

Seo Young-joon, the choreographer who was watching the members’ movements from the hallway, opened the door of the practice room with a smile.

“Guys, I’ll take a look.”

“Teacher! You said you wouldn’t make the choreography too hard! We still have monthu left!”

“There’s no acrobatic.”

He still hadn’t cooled down. Seo Young-joon smiled awkwardly.

***

Awi, who spent three days practicing hard, headed to Hong Kong.

‘The audience here are, to put it nicely, a bit… assertive.’
