Chapter 103
Episode #103. Need to be careful?
“…Sales went up 1300% just by adding a new live singer? Are you kidding?”
“Did you say it was a joke even after seeing all the customers?”
Seungjun Kim looked around.
And suddenly, when I saw the customers filling the live cafe, I swallowed dryly.
Certainly, it was a sight that made me feel a huge difference in sales compared to the old days when it was quiet like the school library during vacation.
That’s why he also called 300%.
But I never thought that a number with a different number of units would come out.
Even Kim Seung-joon, who introduced Yu-jin, doubted whether President Jung was lying.
It seemed that he felt his suspicions.
Jung said with a smile.
“Besides, if those two were at the level of being ‘only new live singers’, you wouldn’t have introduced Miss Eugene or come to persuade her every day.”
“That’s…”
“Why not?”
“…”
Kim Seung-joon shut his mouth.
It wasn’t just about getting hit.
This is because Limon, who had finally finished the tuning, started playing the two of them live by plucking the guitar strings.
Don’t look at me―
A husky voice rings out.
A contradictory silence covered the cafe.
The sound of talking that should be heard, the sound of rattling, the sound of drinking, even the sound of breathing.
The sounds of guitars and songs resounding in the space where all those sounds have disappeared are apparently filling the cafe, but it feels as quiet as a whisper.
Even though it’s not a skill, it’s more like a skill than any skill.
Their melodies had the power to make listeners forget to breathe and concentrate.
“Seungjun.”
“Yes, senior.”
“It’s not something I’m going to say since I’ve already taken my hands off that job. Still, as a senior with a name, I’ll just say one thing.”
The impression of seeing a gemstone.
It’s a pity that it can’t be trimmed.
Looking at the two people on the stage with complicated eyes mixed with the two, President Jung continued to speak quietly.
“Make sure to catch those two. If you miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life.”
“I know.”
If you have ears, there’s no way you wouldn’t know.
Seungjun Kim nodded in agreement and let out a light sigh.
“The problem is that those two don’t know.”
If you just debut, you will immediately become a hot topic, and in the long run, you will have the potential to become a world-class musician.
One of them is very squeamish and the other vehemently refuses as if he is allergic to broadcasting.
How can I convince them both?
Just thinking about it was daunting.
“uh? Hey, isn’t that the bastard?”
“What kind of bastard are you?”
It was at that time that President Chung looked toward the entrance of the cafe and spoke to me.
Kim Seung-joon, who had been suffering from troubles, openly showed that he was not interested and only glanced away.
But the moment he turned his head and saw the opponent he pointed at.
“Why did you make your program twisted this time, Mr. Moon from the WIM Guild?”
“…!”
Sparks flew in Kim Seung-jun’s eyes.
* * *
“Hoo, today was a good soul.”
“Do it in moderation. Are you going to make me sleep while singing again?”
“I like it!”
“I hate this song, stupid.”
It took a long time for Limon and Eugene to come down from the stage.
It was because requests for an encore poured in one after another, and Eugene was happy to sing each time.
It’s fortunate that Limon, who has almost infinite stamina, and Eugene, who doesn’t know how to get tired, would have been knocked out by a normal musician.
“What is the mood like?”
But after coming down to the stage.
Limon made a suspicious expression.
Originally, Kim Seung-joon would have praised him as a great talent and persuaded the debutant to sign a contract for appearances.
It wasn’t just because he was wearing arrogance.
It was because a stranger was sitting across from Kim Seung-jun.
clap clap clap
“I heard a great performance. It was a great performance on a really unique song.”
A sitting position with legs crossed.
A tone as if evaluating something.
Even sunglasses worn over the face.
Limon frowned at the appearance of a man who stimulated the old man’s spirit in many ways.
“What are you pretending to be friends with?”
“hmm? Don’t you know who I am?”
“Should I know?”
“Oh, excuse me. Because there is no one in the industry who doesn’t know me these days.”
It was as if he didn’t know that among the musicians there would be a country boy who didn’t even know who he was.
The man burst out laughing and took out two business cards from his pocket and held them out on the table.
“Sorry for the late introduction. My name is Moon Cheon-yeop, and I am the head of the entertainment guild, WIM.”
“hmm?”
Limon narrowed his eyes.
Of course it wasn’t because I recognized Moon Chun-yeop too late.
He didn’t even remember the name of the president of this era, so there was no way he knew who the head of the entertainment guild was.
However, there were other reasons that came to mind.
“Chief Moon? The manager of that singer named Claire?”
“Ha ha ha! Among the singers I work with, Claire is the most famous.”
Seeing Moon Cheon-yeop boasting proudly, Limon unknowingly makes a mysterious expression on his face.
Above her head, Yuna-kyung murmured tremblingly.
[I can see why PD Kim has a rotten face.]
‘You’re holding back. If it were me, I’d throw a punch first and see.’ [That’s possible
even
for those who live in the barracks like the team leader.]
While Limon was chatting with Yuna-kyung in his head.
Yoo-jin, who had been putting on a sour expression ever since she saw Mun Chun-yeop’s business card, suddenly opened her mouth.
“What’s the singer’s manager to do with us?”
“I heard that there are great musicians here, so I came here to see them, but… Seeing the two of them in person, they were more than I expected.”
“just?”
“Adventure. Of course, there are still deficiencies, but I think it will be solved if I receive constant guidance from experts in a proper entertainment guild.”
Moon Cheon-yeop nodded as if he was proud of himself for being unknown.
Looking at him, Limon tilted his head.
“A proper entertainment guild… In short, something like WIM?”
“Hahaha, I’m not proud of it, but there is no entertainment guild as good as ours, WIM.”
Moon Cheon-yeop boasts that he is not proud.
It was Kim Seung-jun, who had been making a sad face the whole time, who raised a counterargument to his words.
“Does a decent guild suddenly abandon a program they promised to appear on?”
“Uh-huh, can you please refrain from saying things that others will hear and misunderstand? Aren’t there a lot of people who would be in trouble if a KTB official put a false name on our guild?”
Seungjun Kim’s face twitched.
I don’t know if it’s terrestrial or a little known cable.
What if a small broadcaster like KTB, on the verge of bankruptcy, was sued by a huge entertainment guild like WIM?
I didn’t know that the program I was preparing and everything would fly away, of course, the broadcasting station itself would collapse.
Although it is more likely that Seungjun Kim will be cut before that.
“Anyway, after listening to PD Kim, it seems like the two of you don’t have a particular agency. How do you feel? Are you signing a contract with WIM at this time?”
Mun Cheon-yeop, who simply cleared the obstruction.
He spoke triumphantly like a general who had won a war.
“I looked it up and it looks like you two have been extremely exploited here all this time.”
“No that!”
“Uh-huh PD-nim, if you have a conscience, stay still. Does it make sense that a PD of every name stood by the sidelines at such an unfair contract?”
“…”
Kim Seung-joon made an unfair expression.
The fact that Eugene’s employment conditions are strange is exactly what she wanted.
He, of course, also frothed at the mouth because he struggled to make a fair contract, but it was Limon and Yujin who ignored it.
However, Mun Chun-yeop, who had no way to know such a situation, confidently continued the invitation.
“If you sign with us, you will never come to such a lousy place again. We always promise to perform on the best stage under the best conditions.”
“The best stage?”
“yes. Terrestrial would be better, but if you don’t mind, cable is also possible.”
After a brief pause there, Chunyeop Moon glanced back at Seungjun Kim and smiled meaningfully.
“Just because a PD I know is looking for a replacement for the program.”
‘You bastard, Chief Moon…!’
Seungjun Kim swallowed a groan.
It was because I had just noticed that the words were an offer to appear on the program if I could convince them.
You threatened me a while ago and then handed me a carrot.
It was an obvious trick, but it was also a one-man job for Kim Seung-joon, who is in the middle of the program’s fate and KTB’s sound.
It was inevitable to know why Mun Chun-yeop was called the powerhouse of the WIM Guild.
‘It won’t work the way you want!’
However, Kim Seung-jun rather smiled with a repentant smile.
Because I foresaw what was about to happen.
“And the down payment…”
“I don’t need it.”
“yes?”
“Money contract. I do not need. go.”
As soon as he heard that it was a down payment, Eugene frowned as if he had seen filth and issued a congratulatory order.
“Hmm, thanks for the suggestion, but we’re not interested. The exit door is over there.”
Limon just shrugged his shoulders and showed me the way out.
“No, wait a minute. What is this…?”
Watching Moon Cheon-yeop, who was unable to say anything, with an absurd expression on his face at the neat response, Kim Seung-joon tried to hold back his laughter.
money or stage.
If it were two people who would be shaken by those conditions, they wouldn’t be suffering like this.
I didn’t know that, and I was rejected like an idiot, and then I was rejected!
“Uh huh, do you know what this offer is like and refuse it? What a suggestion from the WIM Guild, of the WIM Guild!”
“What did you say?”
“What is WIM?”
“….”
Limon and Eugene treat miscellaneous things that the nation’s best entertainment guild has never heard of before.
It was only then that I realized that these two were people with a different way of thinking than normal people.
Moon Cheon-yeop, red and green.
“…great. It seems I was in a hurry today, so let’s talk about it later.”
Is it because I feel that this is not possible?
Or is it because you can’t stand shame?
Looking at Mun Cheon-yeop, who can’t hide his angry gait even though he pretends to be calm and leaves, it’s time to laugh out loud.
Kim Seung-jun, who barely stopped laughing, coughed and looked at the two.
“Hmm hmm! I’m relieved that things have turned out this way, but are you two really okay?”
“Is there any reason not to be okay?”
“The influence of the WIM Guild is so great. If Chief Moon wants to, he could prevent the two of them from debuting for the rest of their lives…” ”
What does that matter?”
“We have no intention of debuting?”
“Ah yes. You must be.”
Seeing the two still unmoved, Kim Seung-joon smiled bitterly.
Fucking Moon Cheon-yeop was good, but he realized that it would be difficult for him to recruit Limon and Yujin.
“Anyway, be careful. I’ve heard rumors that Chief Moon doesn’t choose any means.”
“Okay. I don’t know how much the trickster knows how to do it, but I don’t think there’s anything I need to be careful about.”
Limon laughed.
Then, with one hand resting on her chin, she jokingly added another word.
“My fiancee has a lot of money.”
