Chapter 506 – #75. Junior (6)
“Hmm… Are you really doing it like this?”
“We made several assumptions. How should I plan to maximize publicity without damaging Airplane or Remember?”
Of course, it is correct to consider several circumstances.
“The most important thing for kids is recognition. And they needed proper publicity for their next album.”
Since these employees are not our dedicated team, there was a sense of distance.
It wasn’t the first time I’d seen her face, but it wasn’t like we’d talked to each other before.
So, we had to talk to each other while being polite.
If I had worked with our team, I would have felt more comfortable asking what they were thinking, but since they were a team dedicated to remembering, I needed to be careful with what I said.
‘Looking at the dark circles, it seems like you worked overtime like you were eating a meal…’
What she said may not be the whole of this project.
“After gathering opinions, we came to the conclusion that a poor plan is worse than not doing it. First off, airplane fans aren’t going to take good care of helping Remember, right? The number of airplane fans is so large that even that came as a burden to us.”
“Well, it could be.”
It was something we all knew.
In fact, even we have had that experience.
In the beginning of my debut, I took advantage of the recognition and friendship of my seniors to go out to variety shows and film comfortably.
Somehow, there was a tendency for people around me to pay more attention to me when I appeared with a senior from the same company than when I was sent alone.
And since the senior’s fans are not idiots, they couldn’t help but know that it was a ‘twin sale’.
The giving side was an unconditional loss, and the receiving side was seeing benefits beyond words.
‘Because I’m a fan of you, I never look pretty.’
Of course, the company also takes a lot of swearing.
However, the company is always in a position to receive all sorts of swearing from fans, so I tend not to blink an eye at such malicious comments.
And since we were in a position to help this time, we didn’t have to worry too much about the fans’ reactions.
‘If they defended us, they defended us, so there’s no reason to curse.’
Anyway, that’s why the problem was the memories with only a handful of fans.
Because the foundation is weak enough that everything can fly away even in a small controversy.
“Remember kids don’t have a lot of fans. Even in small controversies, there is no one to shield them, so they will continue to suffer.”
“…”
“So it’s a situation where it might be better for me to just stay still than to get help and get hated by a lot of people by tying it up for nothing.”
“Hey… That’s too much.”
An employee who looks like a lot of Hyunta.
As her mouth ran away without knowing her line, her staff next to her hurriedly stopped her.
But since she had already seen it, she couldn’t just ignore it.
“Looks like the situation is very bad.”
“If the second album fails, we will all be cut. The kids are probably on the edge of the precipice as well, but in fact, it is us who are more at stake. Even if they continue to receive opportunities in the future, we do not have any more opportunities.”
“Ha~ I’m sorry. He hasn’t slept well for three days…”
“No.”
“Drink some water. Calm down. This is not the place to share your feelings.”
At the somewhat sober advice of a fellow employee, the dark circle employee nodded his head, catching his breath, which had become rough.
“Okay. Sorry. Sorry. Excuse me.”
“It’s okay. Please continue the meeting.”
It seems that there is a problem with the team dedicated to remembering.
“The kids are not wrong. It’s because they haven’t shown it properly yet, they’re very charming kids. Make sure to do it this time!!! Please!!! I want to show it to people.”
“You think you can do it if you stick to this plan.”
“Airplane’s ability is so great that it hurts to say it twice. Of course, this does not mean that we will leave everything to you and leave it unattended. I will do my best to support you. I am determined to do anything no matter what you ask me to do!! Please save our children just once!!”
The employee with dark circles clenched his fists, jumped up, and bowed his head abruptly.
“Oh, you don’t have to…”
“Hmm, I think I need to discuss it with the members first. It is not an easy decision.”
“Are you too burdened? We have prepared a compromise just in case.”
The staff suddenly came up with a compromise, as if he had a negative feeling from us.
“A compromise?”
“We are not just such a shameless people. We will prepare everything related to the album. You can think of it as the final decision maker. They just check the results we’ve been making with the kids and judge whether they’re good or not suitable for the kids.”
“Are we going to do that kind of screening?”
“I believe in your abilities. They are on the road to success, so even a few words of advice would be of great help to them.”
If you do as the staff says, it won’t be a big burden on us.
At least, rather than saying that we would entrust the entire production of the album to us.
‘There were so many things to worry about while filming a music video, but producing an album… It went too far.’
I think they really tried to eat us up the spine.
And they must have prepared a compromise plan in advance, knowing that they were greedy.
‘I think we would have really entrusted it if we said it was good. Are they so insecure about their senses?’
Why are they entrusting us with what they have to do?
In the end, I don’t have confidence in my skills, so I’m not making this kind of work, right?
As expected, it seemed clear that there was a problem with the team in charge of remember, which we briefly thought about earlier.
‘I’m guessing they’re trying to cover the cover somehow by handing over the authority externally to us and working hard? That means there are trolls inside after all.’
Jeki would have been interested in this producing proposal.
I turned and looked at Jackie.
Sure enough, I was still reading the proposal quite seriously.
It seemed that he was thinking about what he wanted to do.
“I hope you don’t put too much pressure on me. Feel free to share your opinion, and if you feel burdened, feel free to decline. We have prepared a lot of other plans besides this one. In the first place, this plan is not something that will produce good results just because you are forced to do it. I’m helping you, but you shouldn’t be offended.”
The staff kept a low profile and talked to us until the end.
It seemed that they were determined to save the members somehow, so we had no choice but to be solemn.
“Can I ask you a question personally?”
“Yes! Please speak.”
When I ask a question, the staff responds quickly.
“Is there a problem with the dedicated team?”
“!!!”
“!!!”
The employee’s complexion becomes pale.
It looks like I hit too hard.
“It is like that too. It seemed like you were trying to hand over authority to us. Rather than believing in our skills, it feels like we’re trying to stop trolling by somehow handing over the authority.”
Members, did that happen?! It was a look.
But the staff sighed and nodded.
“When the other staff members said that Hae-sol was the scariest among the members, I wondered why, but now I understand. I tried not to show off…”
“You showed off too much! Ooh, this burn! Mr. Haesol, can you hide this as much as possible?”
“Who the hell are you doing this?”
Is it someone in a position that the lower level staff can’t touch?
The staff hesitated and said as if there was nothing they could do.
“You are a relative of the boss.”
“Oh~!”
With that said, the situation made perfect sense.
Even if he handed over the representative position to Yeon Joo, he still had the most stake in the company, so no one could treat his personnel carelessly.
Except for Yeon Joo, who can contact the president directly.
“What exactly is he doing?”
Thud!
An employee with dark circles hit the table with his fist at my words.
She was in a rage.
“It’s normal to be condescending about a subject that doesn’t have skills, eyesight, or ignorance. Why don’t you buy a song from a composer who doesn’t do well through your personal connections and have the kids sing it!!”
“Do you know the representative?”
“… Is there anything the CEO doesn’t know about the company?”
The problem is that it’s a personnel transfer that can’t be dealt with right away.
“Because there is no cause?”
“Yes…”
“Hmm, okay. Let’s think about this in a positive way.”
“Thank you!!”
If it wasn’t planned because we really needed our skills, but if we just needed a shield called Airplane.
Isn’t it something you can’t do?
Of course, you should seriously discuss it with the members.
‘Honey Enter is also a company where people live.’
Recalling once again the importance of a dedicated team that only talented people gathered to assist us.
The meeting with the team dedicated to remembering has come to an end.
♧ ♧ ♧
It’s not a common tie-in, it’s producing a children’s album! There was no member belatedly belatedly saying.
Everyone had heard how the board was going in the conference room, and it was in a state where the Remember kids were caught in the middle and found out that they were going through all the hardships.
“It’s kind of creepy.”
“Shall we hand some presents to my sisters?”
The ‘nuna’ Wooyeoni refers to is our dedicated team.
None of the members objected.
This is because I indirectly experienced the harm that occurs when the dedicated team does not do its job properly.
“I became very close with the members of Remember, but it’s a pity. There is no workaround.”
“That’s right. If that person remains on the dedicated team, the problem is not resolved after all.”
“Are we just a stopgap after all?”
“So what do you all think? Will you accept this?”
“The other side decided everything on their own, like the concept, and they said they would get the song themselves, so wouldn’t it be better to accept it?”
Wooyeon was on the side of agreeing, as if he wanted to help the kids somehow.
“We just have to evaluate.”
“Hey, judging is not for everyone.”
The person who gave the opposite opinion to Woo-yeon was Kyung-tae.
He went on a survival idol program to judge, and he said something unexpected.
That said, judging is never easy.
“Was it difficult to judge?”
“Huh. It was very hard. It’s not that the body is hard, it eats up a lot of emotions.”
“What, what happened?”
“Tell me about it while you’ve already said it.”
Taking care of each other’s mental health was familiar to all the members.
“They say what I said without much thought to them for the rest of their lives. We had a hard time because of malicious comments. Judging is no different. A thoughtless statement changes their lives.”
The story that Kyung-tae told me was a behind-the-scenes story that was not aired.
“I meant to say it a little bit harshly in the sense of telling you to work harder. He seemed to have some talent, so I thought he would do really well if he put in the effort. But after I said a few words, he immediately dropped out of the program. I didn’t know anything at the time, so I didn’t think of the weight of words.”
It is a fact that teachers who teach children in the entertainment world are strict and venomous.
It’s not that we haven’t been rigorously educated.
Because I was a honey entertainer, I was taught more severely.
“It seems that his will was weak.”
“That’s right, like my older brother said, he was a person who had talent but didn’t put in any effort. I didn’t get off because of what my brother said, I just ran away because he made a hole for me to escape through.”
Kyeong-tae’s pale complexion brightened, as if the words the kids had calmed him down.
“Is it really like that?”
Kyeong-tae hyung was a person who had a thin ear and could subtly go over what others were saying.
