Damn Idol Episode 118

Album 11. Noise

I managed to find <A&B Engine>, a development company I used to use while in the United States.

I thought it would be easy to find because it was a place with a good reputation, but I was a bit mistaken about the timing.

At present, the A&B engine is struggling with deficits and is barely breathing.

It seems like we are riding an upward trend by succeeding in some project within 2-3 years, but now we are at zero.

So I thought about it a bit.

In the future, it will become a top company armed with numerous developers and connections, but now it is a small developer that has barely escaped startups.

But in the end, I decided to request it.

"In that case, wouldn't it be okay to first add only the necessary functions and open it?"

"Is it possible? I don't know much about development, but aren't all the functions interconnected?"

"The part you mentioned just needs to be structured around independent implementation."

I had a meeting with the CEO, and I liked how he captured exactly what I wanted and suggested more.

I also liked the clause that they would make changes until I was satisfied, and I also liked the willingness to make it within 4 weeks, even if it meant mobilizing all of the outsourced manpower pool.

Well, of course it was because I bet a huge amount of money.

When I first went to the meeting, the CEO recognized me and his eyes widened enormously.

To the point where it can't get any bigger.

But when they heard the amount I suggested as the total amount of the project, their eyes got even bigger.

I thought it was an alien.

"Then please take care of me."

"We will proceed as quickly as possible and contact you as often as possible. But... … ."

"yes?"

"Please sign…" … . "Because my wife is a huge fan of Mr. Han Si-on."

"aha. "Still, we ask you to keep the development details confidential until the opening."

"of course. "The autograph will be given after development is completed, right?"

"When the development is completed, I will give you tickets to the performance, so please come with your wife."

"Thanks to you, I can avoid getting ripped off even if I don't go home for a month."

After signing the letter and thanking him, he left the development office.

This is not the end.

We have a lot to meet today.

The next destination was BVB Entertainment.

It is not to meet NOP.

The person I wanted to meet was team leader Seo Seung-hyeon.

"You should resign."

"yes?"

"I want to host you as entertainment for three months and a hundred days."

Although Sedalbaekil Entertainment said it as a joke, the offer to scout is sincere.

Team leader Seo Seung-hyeon is someone I never met in my previous life, but I witnessed him demonstrate his full potential in this life.

My request was fully accepted and implemented.

Of course, I never made unreasonable demands.

Because we presented appropriate goals in line with the rules of the show business industry.

But I liked the method of achieving that goal.

When he gave advice for me, he only gave it clearly, and when it was for his own benefit, he let me know.

There aren't that many people who do things like this.

Moreover, Team Leader Seo Seung-hyun never once asked a question about the relationship between Ryan Enter and Sedalbaekil.

It was easy to ask out of curiosity, but he kept the line well suited to his role.

I thought about it last time, but he's a pretty nice guy.

To the extent of putting it into the returnee's network.

"Suddenly?"

"You know the situation roughly, right? "I was fighting with Ryan Enter."

"I don't think I can be of much help."

"I'm not asking for help. "I'm hoping for support."

Help and support are different.

While help feels like reaching out and pulling, support feels like pushing your back from behind.

We need a manager, and we need someone to manage the fan club.

I won't be able to drive forever, and it's funny that the members manage the fan club among themselves.

But it's not good to pick just anyone.

Choi Dae-ho's friend may come in, and although he may not have been a friend at first, he may become one later.

In that sense, Team Leader Seo Seung-hyun will be quite helpful.

I'm not expecting 100% coverage, but wouldn't it be possible to filter out too many obvious fragments?

"I think it would be good to hire other staff from BVB if possible."

"I haven't said I'll do it yet."

"1.5 times annual salary."

"Honestly, I don't know what the next three months and 100 days will bring, but considering the number of years of service at BVB… … ."

"Double your annual salary."

"I will do my best."

He said with a grin.

"Please set up the staff as well."

"I will try my best, but since I know Han Si-on's abilities, the decision will be easy. Another employee… … ."

"I will set 3% of the company's sales as a team incentive. "Sales, not net profit."

"… … "How many people will we bring?"

"As much as the team leader thinks is necessary."

"The size needs to be increased slowly. First, let's gather about five people, excluding me. Instead, I won't bring them all from BVB."

"Because BVB might hate us?"

"yes. I have to fight only with Ryan Enter. But are you going to keep the team name 'Sedal1101'?"

"yes."

It's good. Three months and 100 days?

"Then, use your initials as the company name. What about SDBI?"

"It looks like some sort of intercontinental ballistic missile."

"It's an ICBM."

"Anyway. But why is that?"

"Honestly…" … ."

a little?

"Aren't you embarrassed?"

Team leader Seo Seung-hyun's annual salary increase rate should be lowered to 1.99 times.

After that, I told team leader Seo Seung-hyun the stories related to the 100 days of the month.

Team leader Seo Seung-hyeon is not working part-time at a cafe, and he cannot resign from BVB right away.

There will be a handover and it will take some time to gather the staff.

But we still need to know what our plans are.

Team leader Seo was surprised to hear the word "color show" and asked various questions.

Then, when we told them that we were preparing a portfolio, their expressions became ambiguous.

"It is true that Colors is a fairly open company, but will it be selected for the portfolio?"

It's okay.

I know exactly what their seizure buttons are.

But I couldn't explain, so I just shrugged my shoulders.

"One more strange thing is that Choi Dae-ho has been very still until now."

"I agree with that. "I think I haven't been able to completely let go of the attachment I have for three months and a hundred days."

Even though we topped the weekly charts, the name Sedalbaekil is still not included in entertainment articles.

There are no shortage of articles pouring in with modifiers such as 'underdog's rebellion' or 'miracle of small and medium-sized idols'.

This meant that Choi Dae-ho was still in control of the situation, but at the same time, it meant that he was not in an offensive posture.

Team leader Seo Seung-hyun said.

"That person is a persistent person. "It's not called Daeho for nothing."

"So, he must have founded a large agency."

"I will keep the channel open, but I think you need to be mentally prepared."

"Oh. "Can you tell me specifically about the take scene debut schedule?"

"That's easy. "Anyway, there are companies caught in the middle."

"Then, please check the teaser schedule and music video schedule."

"Why is that?"

Seo Seung-hyun said Choi Dae-ho is persistent, but I don't think so.

Because I am a more persistent person.

"I'll explain later. By the way, you need to find a road manager as quickly as possible."

"I haven't even written a salary contract yet."

"I sent it via email before I came."

"uh?"

* * *

click.

"Slightly diagonal this time!"

Lee Ion took various poses at the photographer's request.

Everyone is skilled, perhaps because they have done photo shoots for Coming Up Next.

"Wow, Si On Han, where have you worked as a model?"

Of course, I am the most skilled at it.

I'm still not good at Onsaemi.

As the name suggests, it seems to maintain an unchanging state well.

"How do you do that?"

When I finished filming the individual cut first and came down, Onsaemiro asked a question.

It's a nice sight to see.

Being able to ask yourself what you lack means you have peace of mind.

"Don't imagine the outcome."

"huh?"

"What I'm saying is don't imagine what the photo will look like when posing."

"Then what do you imagine?"

"Imagine people's reaction when they see your picture. "It means imagining the outcome."

I listened to it when I was learning acting.

The idea is to imagine the outcome and make the emotions stronger.

This isn't the only acting methodology, but since On Sae-mi is boring, this is appropriate.

After hearing what I said, Onsaemi-ro moved his facial muscles a few times and then asked in a soft voice.

"But you hit the fade last time."

"that's right."

It was a happy memory.

"Has anything happened since then?"

Unfortunately there wasn't.

If Fade wants, I'm willing to call an international referee and give him a game with the rules he wants.

"Why are you still?"

When Onsaemiro tilted his head, he smiled and answered.

"You stay still too."

"huh?"

"Wasn't Fade swearing at you?"

"You paid for it."

"You didn't pay it back yourself, right?"

"What do you think? "The team paid it back."

At that time, Onsaemiro's turn came.

"Mr. Onsaemiro!"

"Yes, I'm going."

I shrugged my shoulders as I looked at Onsaemiro talking to the photographer.

I haven't paid you back in full yet.

After quite a long time, our filming ended.

What we took today was a photo card to give to the first generation of the Sedalbaekil fan club.

Usually, when you join a fan club, you can receive a kit, which contains photo cards and other various goods.

Since I wasn't familiar with the culture, I did some research and was surprised that the quality was much better than I expected.

Of course, it's not that there aren't groups that are ridiculed for the quality of their goods, but such teams are rather rare.

Most of them are cost-effective products that cost more than the subscription fee, which is between 25,000 and 40,000 won.

Of course, this can't be because fans really love it so much.

Members of an idol group may think that way, but they are not a company run by capitalism.

Joining a fan club is a kind of gate.

Basically, all purchase hurdles are difficult to overcome once, but the second time is easy.

So, by enriching the products that come with joining the fan club, we are trying to get fans to overcome the hurdle.

Those who entered the Deokjil Gate will be able to buy goods more easily from now on.

But we don't have a company, and our members are immature.

They were anxious to somehow give their fans the best goods.

Of course, I also said OK.

Because fans are the only thing that can save me.

I can do anything for you.

In this way, we are producing goods one by one that embody the members' wishes.

Choi Jae-seong is a figure, Lee Ion is a tumbler and cup set, Koo Tae-hwan is a humidifier, and On Sae-mi is a blanket and auxiliary battery.

Koo Tae-hwan seems to have a tendency to be obsessed with humidifiers.

For your information, I tried to give away a CD player, but was rejected by the members.

If they are not careful, there may be people who join the fan club to receive a CD player.

Yes, I admit it.

These are goods that reflect my personal desires.

Among popular musicians, there are those who have sold more than 200 million physical albums using the devil's calculation method.

The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Elton John, etc... … .

However, these are all musicians who lived in the era of physical albums.

A generation where it was natural to listen to music through physical devices such as CDs or LPs.

But now, listening to music on CD is unusual.

No, there are more people who don't even have a device to play CDs at home in the first place.

It's been a long time since the CD ROM disappeared from my computer.

This is really too much.

What on earth is a devil contractor like me supposed to eat for a living?

I think it would be much easier to sell a billion digital singles.
