Chapter 266 – #40. Final (2)
While everyone was frightened, I was the only one who was aware of the situation.
I sat with my arms crossed and one leg crossed, giggling secretly.
‘As expected, the items are the best.’
Every time I experienced the effect of an item with great performance, I couldn’t help but feel thrilled.
The Stone Band crossed the line, and I wrote the item because I couldn’t wait to see them eat well and live well.
‘If I hadn’t used my hands this time, they would have been tough and ate well and lived well.’
To be honest, even if we ruin it like this, they won’t be able to survive without food.
It is because they have another preparation place called marriage.
‘Still, I won’t be able to live as a singer as I am now.’
The stone band annoyed me so much.
To the point where I think it’s better to just ruin it and make it out of touch with us altogether.
It would be very annoying if left alone, but all it took to destroy them was one item.
I finally made up my mind and went right into it.
‘I didn’t expect the jackpot to hit like this right away.’
The effect of the item I wrote is simple.
It’s to prevent you from lying for a certain amount of time.
‘Anyway, bee-mouth bastards.’
How broken was his personality and he exploded the bomb when only the truth came out of his mouth?
At least I thought it would take a few days before it collapsed.
She glanced over at the pie producer, her face full of rage.
Stone Band didn’t even know what her PD had done to her face, she was still making fun of her snout thinking she was proud.
-The final will be Zumbae who beat us in the 2nd round. It’s embarrassing, but her skill was real.
– Actually, I doubted it was match-fixing. Does it make sense that we lose to such an insignificant kid?
-It’s the fans’ fault that we lost! Why didn’t you vote more? Damn, embarrassing! And if you’re going to bully me, why don’t you bully me more clearly? In the middle of nowhere, tsk!
Zumbai, who will be making her finals, surprisingly praises her skills, as if she thought that the more her skills are, the more she will cover her incompetence.
Then, as expected, the huge bomb explodes once more.
‘It’s a spectacle, it’s a spectacle.’
Zumbai recalled the bullying she suffered from fans of her stone band. She couldn’t control her expression and she twisted.
I happened to be sitting next to her, so I was reading Zumbae.
– Calm down, Bay. They’re self-destructing, so there’s no need to step in and get hurt by that bomb.
-Damn, those babies are real children.
-PD-nim, look at her face. Then you’ll feel a little better?
-PD’s face?
-Are you upset?
Zumbay, who was frantic, checked Pie PD’s face and loosened her frown as if she was feeling cool inside.
-Those guys are done now. We’ll fall into hell before we can even do anything. Don’t get caught up in it and wait patiently. Rather than worrying about them, it’s more productive to focus on the final stage.
-… I know. I think you are right. Seeing them do that, I lost all my strength.
Surprisingly, Zumbai listened to me and stayed calm.
MC Jim was sweating to somehow rectify the stone band’s self-destruction.
Being a program MC was really not for everyone.
The Stone Band were elated and satisfied with their provocation, as if they didn’t know that MC Jim was correcting their mistakes.
Hearing that, he seemed to know that we would get angry.
‘Bye. I won’t go far to see you off.’
It was a moment when I wanted to shake my hand because I felt sorry for her elated expression.
♧ ♧ ♧
Even if Py PD was very angry, what they said in front of the camera was not broadcast.
She seems to have restrained herself because she knew that her actions did not conform to her own rules.
But just because she didn’t put it on air didn’t mean her anger was gone.
The attitude and conversations of Ahn Ha-mu, which they showed on the air, went into the ears of reporters and were reproduced as articles without changing a single word.
[Stone Band, the worst attitude controversy! Is it the fault of the fans who said yes or no?]
[The extreme fans who bullied Zumbae, the astonishing personality of the Stone Band who said that they could only do that.]
[Zumbay fans are angry! Leave a bloody warning to the stone band!]
She must have begged at the agency, but the mouth of the stone band brought too much anger.
Since the period of the Mouth of Truth was one month, incidents and accidents must be bursting out in real time.
By the time they realized what they had done after the effect of the item was gone, everything would have already reached an impossible level.
The Mouth of Truth item was slightly hypnotic, which had the effect of making it unaware that he was speaking the truth.
‘Since the stone bands have been sorted out, is round 4 left now?’
The time, effort, and money required for a group to rise is enormous.
On the other hand, moderate personality controversy was enough for one group to fall into the abyss.
“I’ve come all the way to the finals, so I have to win, right?”
“I heard the Zumbay fans came together because of the stone band this time. They say that we have to make it number 1, so it’s not a fuss.”
“Are we at a bit of a disadvantage?”
Zumbae, who showed an impact in the third round, was gaining popularity.
“So, our song went up in the rankings this week?”
The self-composed song you showed in the 3rd round was on the Billboard last week.
The self-composed song, which I thought would come out after being in for a while, went up a few steps as of the next week, ranking 73rd.
In this place where dozens or hundreds of songs are played every day, 63rd place was really great.
In fact, the finals were not so important anymore.
That’s because we’ve already gotten the recognition we wanted.
“Should I write my own song again?”
“Twice crossed the line a bit.”
“I’ve been thinking about something, but how about decorating the stage in homage to Jackson Bill?”
“Jackson Bill is the winner of Amazing Star Season 1.”
“Yeah, that’s why I deliberately chose that one too.”
A legendary singer, a superstar, and a pop star who has become a star that can’t be seen anymore.
Nam Gyu said that we should decorate the stage he showed in the finals.
“Uh… Isn’t that bad?”
There is no one who dreams of becoming a pop singer who has not sang with him as his muse.
Because he was such a great person.
“I like it.”
“Me too.”
“Agree!”
“Is there anyone who won’t accept this?”
Everyone had the same idea, so Nam-gyu’s opinion was quickly adopted.
Nam-gyu said he knew that and showed us the video he had prepared.
“Wow, did you get this?”
“Actually, I asked Kyung-tae hyung. Kyungtae hyung has all the videos from season 1 to season 11.”
“Is it also steamed duck?”
“Aside from the Astar stage, the quality is a bit poor, but I’ve been looking for a video of the stage, so everyone watch it.”
It’s always fun to see the legendary stage.
“It’s a 10-year-old video, but even now, my heart is pounding.”
“How happy are the people who have intuited this stage?”
“It will remain as a memory for a lifetime.”
“We have to do better than this. Are you confident?”
“I am confident in my skills, but can we make an impact like this?”
I don’t think our skills are inferior to ‘legends’, but it was impossible to imitate the career he built and the charisma he showed on stage.
Even if he copied the experience and know-how of living as a legend, it would be nothing more than a clumsy kid’s talent show.
‘But there’s nothing I can’t try, right?’
“Let’s do it. Gotta try It’s not that you lack skills.”
“Somehow, I think this stage will be too difficult.”
“I’m preparing for a legendary stage with respect, so of course I have to work hard.”
Much faster than the third round, the direction of the final stage was decided.
The overwhelming stage of Jackson Bill, which was shown on the final stage of season 1, we will show on the final stage of season 11.
Py PD heard our stage concept and really liked it.
-Reenact the stage 10 years ago… I think it will be a really meaningful stage.
P.I PD said that he had the chance to revisit the season 1 final stage 10 years ago, and said he would do what he could for us.
-I can’t stay still like this! Then, let’s reproduce the camera movement as it is. Then maybe the viewers who watch it will like it more.
It’s been 4 years since Jaxson Bill died.
Still, his fans missed Jackson Bill’s unique sensibility and performance, and his junior singers did not hesitate to pick him as their role model.
I was sure that people would not look at the stage that young people from distant countries respected him.
♧ ♧ ♧
“Will it be less busy after Astar?”
“Wouldn’t it be because I’m only going to schedule and not practice to this extent?”
“It’s really tough. I am too tired.”
All members were complaining of fatigue.
It was a situation where we had to show a new and special stage every two weeks.
It was only natural that I lacked stamina as I had been nervous for over a month.
Our agency knew that, so we tried to give us as much break time as possible.
‘Still, I made it to the necessary schedule.’
They called us from a place that looked like a good opportunity, but we couldn’t help but go.
It was a schedule that all the members agreed on.
In any case, there was no member who did not suffer from a bone disease after going through schedules and Astar together.
I was managing the injury-related issues as much as possible, but I couldn’t solve the mental stress.
“I don’t want to do anything.”
“You are not doing anything.”
“But I don’t want to do anything more.”
“Actually, me too.”
Members who started to suffer from lethargy.
Things weren’t as good as mine.
I was charging my stamina with items, but it was a tight schedule that made me think that even that stamina was not enough.
Thanks to this, I often think that it would be nice to have three bodies these days.
‘Practice is practice, but taking care of Lanna-san isn’t difficult at all. I want the day to be extended from 24 hours to 48 hours.’
In most cases, Yeonjoo was so busy that I couldn’t meet her even if I made time for her.
Originally, it was a case where the older sister’s style didn’t have to pay attention first.
On the other hand, in Lanna’s case, I had to spend more time than I thought.
It wasn’t that she was reaching out to me for her personal interest.
‘I didn’t know there were so many things to take care of running a cafe!’
Even though Lanna hired her part-time job and left her shop, she showed a sense of responsibility.
As a part-time worker, she wanted to give the owner all the information about the cafe.
‘I can’t tell a hard-working person to do it on his own because he’s busy, and I’m going to die of embarrassment.’
She subtly turned it around and said that if it was good for the store, it could be changed without telling me, but she, with a meticulous personality, did not work carelessly.
Every day, she sent a message to confirm things related to settlement, and meticulously organized and sent the purchase history, and clearly informed the reason for the change.
‘I’m sure it’s a job that suits my aptitude…’
It wasn’t a bad thing for Lanna to act like that because it was her cafe that she arranged to win her.
For my plan to succeed, the cafe had to become an important space in Lanna’s life.
However, there was definitely a problem with too frequent contact.
‘I was going to leave it without touching it for a few months, but I can’t.’
If this is the case, I will have to hire her as her employee and make her her manager.
What is not a big deal to someone can be the most important thing in someone’s life, and the cafe issue was a very important part to Lanna.
So, leave her cafe entirely to her, reduce her contact frequency, and grind her teeth a little so that she trusts you as much as she does, making her feel less likeable.
