1st year Max Level Manager chapter 192
Coming down is fun
Countless newcomers and new songs poured out in the music market where idols were swarming, even after just one night, and the competition to win the hearts of fans continued endlessly.
Because of that, even when he was on hiatus, he had to be careful not to lose interest from the fans.
In particular, in the case of Cherry Blossom, which has only a fan cafe and no official fan club, we had to be more careful.
If you end your activities as it is, you might lose your fans to the virtues of other idols.
So, I planned a 'thank you event' for the fans, but director Ki-cheol Lee, who suddenly intervened, was trying to ignite my plan.
When we went up to the 6th floor conference room, Director Ki-cheol Lee, Director Kang Ji-young, and the heads and team leaders of rooms 1 and 2 were all gathered together.
Min-seok Seong, the head of the PR team, and Seong-su, the leader of the choreography team, were also present at the meeting today.
Since I was the last participant, the meeting started as soon as I was seated.
Director Lee Ki-cheol asked with a recalled expression.
"How is our Cherry Blossom doing now?"
Director Kang Ji-young answered.
"Now, all the broadcast appearances and events have been arranged, and only the music room remains on the weekend."
"Actually, we're going to end our promotions now, so it's right to organize them. Oh, and did I mention that the kids aren't feeling well? As soon as it's finished, send it to the hospital
Let me take care of you."
"Anyway, I keep going to the clinic and managing my condition."
Director Lee Ki-cheol spoke with a stern voice.
"Uh-huh. You should send it to the right place instead of that. Look for a university hospital level. It's the pillar of our company, but the hospitality is so poor!"
The reason why Director Lee Ki-cheol wanted to take care of Cherry Blossom was obvious.
This is because the situation of Golden Road, which has been the company's main source of revenue, is not favorable.
The Golden Road, which had lost its center of gravity as Deputy Director Eun Ji-yu disappeared, was acting uncontrollably as time went on.
for that reason,
After somehow improving the relationship with Cherry Blossom, he was aiming for an opportunity to advance into Japan.
It is certain that CEO Choi Man-sik used his hands implicitly.
Well, of course, General Manager Kang Ji-young and Director Lee Dong-min didn't even blink an eye.
Director Lee Ki-cheol speaks to Sung Min-seok, head of public relations team this time.
"Sung leader. How much did you set aside for publicity expenses this weekend?"
"We are thinking of up to 50 million won."
"Uh-huh! can i have it up to 1 billion. The whole PR team met with the reporters and bought a big meal and fed them. And you know?"
Director Lee Ki-cheol blurted out the behind-the-scenes and ordered a separate entertainment.
But this time, Director Lee Dong-min raised the bar.
"Are you over there, sir?"
Why?
"Can't we just follow our plan? All preparations have been made, and the budget has already been put in."
Director Lee Ki-cheol's face was distorted by repeated objections.
"Hey, this chief. No matter how temporary it is, don't you know that I am serving as the CEO?"
"Is that possible? I'm telling you because there is a better way."
Director Lee Dong-min, who was once called the weakest manager, had a stronger voice than anyone else when Cherry Blossom went well.
"What the hell is everyone doing against? Let's hear it."
Director Lee Dong-min tells me to look at me and speak.
"Do you want to see Team Leader Jeong instead?"
"Chief Jeong?"
Director Lee Ki-cheol's face is distorted.
Of course, one singer who attended the
It was the same with Cha Sang-jin's face.
After a nodded greeting, the PPT file was displayed on the LCD screen in the conference room.
"This is the stage for winning the first place for 10 weeks in a row. After all, journalists will write articles on their own without needing to spend money."
"Hmmm. That's something you don't know."
A voice mixed with dissatisfaction came out of Director Lee Ki-cheol's mouth.
But I neatly ignored it.
"I plan to decorate the finale with headbands, light sticks, other goods, and counter tributes such as lunch boxes for the fans who attend on the day of the music show."
This time, director Cha Sang-jin of Singer Room 1 makes a tackle.
"Reporters, why do they counter tribute to the fans? downgrade."
Director Cha Sang-jin looks at me with an expression that he doesn't know about that.
Director Cha Sang-jin only dealt with stars with star disease, so he didn't know how precious the fans were.
To him, his fans were nothing but ATM machines.
"If you do the reverse tribute, there will be an additional advertising effect thanks to the fans on Instagram. Among our fan club cafe members, there are several Instagram influencers with over 200,000 followers."
I explained enough, but the calligraphy line family frowned.
This is understandable enough, but negative opinions continued to come out between Director Lee Ki-cheol and several team leaders of Seo Ye-jong.
It was then.
In the end, General Manager Kang Ji-young made a decision.
"I completely agree with the opinion of Team Leader Jeon Jeong. And if you're going to object, you should have told me in advance. What are you doing the day before?"
Director Lee Ki-cheol responded with a sharp voice.
"Chief! Are you crazy now? Are you just going to proceed with the youngest team leader's wishes?"
Yes. Because it was the youngest team leader who brought Cherry Blossom all the way here.
yo. This. So, isn't it the job of management to help you finish well?"
what? what?
Director Kang Ji-young looks at me.
"Chief Jeong. Go ahead. If not, you can use it by subtracting it from the budget I can afford."
Director Lee Ki-cheol put pressure on him, but General Manager Kang Ji-young did not blink an eye.
Thanks to you, we talked for a long time, but nothing changed in my plan.
As Cherry Blossom gained popularity and Golden Road's popularity disappeared, Kang Ji-young's remarks were gaining more power.
After all, the popularity of the celebrities with this version soon becomes the manager's strength.
In the end, Director Lee Ki-cheol gasped and shut his mouth, and from then on, Director Lee Dong-min led the meeting.
But at the end of the meeting.
Team leader Han Myung-ho requested the right to speak.
Director Kang Ji-young nodded.
Now, team leader Han Myung-ho said to Seong Eun-soo, the choreographer.
"Sung leader. I need to use the practice room for a while to prepare for the Cherry Blossom farewell stage, can you empty the practice room?"
When choreographer Park Seon-nyeo was hired, choreography team leader Seong-su had a grudge and interrupted Cherry Blossom's practice.
For a while, Cherry Blossom practiced back and forth between an aerobics class and a small underground theater.
Myeong-ho Myung-ho is the team leader who wants to get revenge.
In an instant, the face of the choreography team leader Seongsu
tired of blue
"Hey, what time are you going to write it?"
"Oh, I don't know the time. For a while?"
Team leader Myung-ho Han frowned with a disgusting expression on his face.
Because of that, Seongsu's choreography team leader's face began to turn red.
However, team leader Myung-ho Han wasn't just taking revenge.
Having the right to use the first practice room, the largest in the company, was like a kind of power for the singer part.
This is because, in Hulleongso, idols who have debuted or children who are preparing to debut soon were practiced in practice room number 1, but the trainees who saw it used to judge their position according to what practice room they practiced in.
Whether it will be the debut group or whether you will have to endure as a trainee that you never know when you will debut.
The problem is that Seongsu, the choreography team leader, who knows the trainees' psychology better than anyone else, was playing pranks on young trainees.
If you listen carefully, you practice in practice room number 1, or practice in number 3 instead of number 2.
But it was no longer possible.
Team leader Seong-soo, who suddenly lost power, answered with a shaky face.
"Oh, starting today, practice room number 1 is I'll leave it blank.
At that moment, team leader Myung-ho Myung-ho started to laugh out loud.
Hahaha. I'm sorry, what do I do?
However, Team Leader Myung-Ho Han didn't seem apologetic at all.
Thus, the meeting was concluded with team leader Myung-ho Myung-ho's remarks.
Now, I had to check the presents for Cherry Blossom one last time.
It was my job as the manager to make them come off the stage beautifully.
And in the event I prepared, there was one more hidden purpose.
米 米 米
The night before the weekend music show.
Bang Seon-woo and Jang Ye-bin came down to the second basement floor to check the progress of Che Re Blossom's next song, which is being prepared.
However, since recording was in full swing, I couldn't open the door and enter.
"How can humans not go home? "
I sat on the chair in front of Recording Studio No. 1 and waited for Bang Seon-woo's work to be finished.
The next song is already ready in advance.
He is currently improving the quality of the song through arrangement work.
Cherry Blossom's next song is a hook song HIT ME UP! , which means 'contact me', and a dance song called 'Summer Snowflake' and 'First Feeling', which are pop ballads.
Among them, ; Summer Snowflake and ; First Feeling were plagiarized by Epil.K before returning.
It is a famous song that raised Girlfriends 7 to stardom.
At that time, the results were 1st for 4 weeks and 1st for 3 weeks, respectively.
So I pushed ; Summer Snowflake as the title song.
After Bang Seon-woo arranges it, it will be possible to go beyond being number one in 4 weeks.
However, as soon as the song ; HIT ME UP! , which I had never heard before returning, was completed, I put my judgment on what to do with the title song.
The moment I listened, including myself, the recording studio
This is because the members and singers in the 2nd room all united and shouted, 'This will be a song!'
So, the final decision was postponed until after the arrangement of 'HIT ME UP!', which is now flowing from the recording studio, was finished.
After about 10 minutes, the work stopped for a while.
Not knowing when Bang Seon-woo would start working again, he opened the door and went into Room 1.
uh? Yunho hyung. came? "
"Sunwoo. If this is the case, wouldn't it be enough to finish the arrangement?"
Bang Seon-woo, wearing an orange T-shirt with a droopy neck, scratches his head.
"That's it "
At that moment, Yebin Jang, who was sitting next to her, shook her head.
"Now is the beginning. Sunwoo, there is still a long way to go before the perfect bottle bursts."
"Then when do you think it will be finished? I want to tell my kids."
Bang Sun-woo scratched his head again.
well . that's good for me too... "
Although Bang Seon-woo had a soft heart, he had a terrible side to music.
okay. When it's done, let's talk about it again then.
Yes! brother.
Bang Seon-woo nodded saying he was happy.
However, it was certain that after this thought was over, a better song would come out than it is now.
"But how many days have you not been home?"
"Nowadays, I go in every day. Ran Hee Nu
I turn it on when I go out to work."
"But why are you dressed like that?"
"Ah, these are work clothes. I had to wear this to be able to compose well."
When Bang Seon-woo pointed to the neck of the stretched T-shirt, Jang Ye-bin groaned next to him.
"They said their necks were stretched and their souls felt free."
what kind of bullshit
It's probably just clothes that make you feel comfortable here as if you were in your own bedroom.
Bang Seon-woo looks at Jang Ye-bin.
"What about your sister? My sister doesn't wash her hair when she works... "
Hey! do you want to die! Whoa, who is it! I shower every day!"
When Bang Seon-woo revealed Jang Ye-bin's secret, Jang Ye-bin's face went red.
okay.
People can have at least one jinx.
What if I don't wash my hair?
They are the best in this industry.
I mediate the two who do not stop dissing each other like older sisters.
It was then.
"Sunwoo oppa! I'm here!"
Seri's loud voice echoed through the hallways of the underground recording studio.
And one after another, I heard the members of Cherry Blossom approaching.
'What are they doing here at this time? Do I have to prepare for the last music broadcast starting tomorrow morning?'
Seri slammed the recording studio door open.
Higo came in.
uh? Did Yuno have an older brother? If you are busy today, why are you here?"
"I ended up doing it neatly."
"After all, our Yuno oppa. In that sense, Seha."
Seri said that she was going to do a double high-five and approached her with a gunshot.
I also raised my hands to give a high-five.
But at that moment.
Seri, who was approaching, suddenly stepped
stopped
Seri suddenly sticks out her neck, puts her face on my chest, and starts sniffing the smell.
Then he grimaced and grabbed his nose.
"Ugh. the smell of alcohol. Yuno's brother. Have you been drinking?"
I had work in the evening, so I served samgyeopsal with accompaniment.
He drank only one cup, but the serie was amazingly aware of the smell.
I even sprayed Febreeze.
am.
'Doesn't it smell like pork belly?'
I buried my head in my chest and gently pushed Seri's small sniffling head off.
But Seri even noticed that she ate pork belly.
uh? Did you eat pork belly too? Wow~ Yu-no-oppa. This is betrayal, betrayal! You know that?"
Because the fat of the pork belly often gave the kids a stomach ache, they never included it in their diet during activities.
Protein intake is mainly boiled
It was through eggs and chicken breasts, and only occasionally fed beef bulgogi.
Thanks to this, Seri raised her hands on her waist and protested.
"We give it a pound! My brother eats spicy pork belly! Yuno's brother. Don't you think this is too much? I'm going to tell you all!
okay. After all, there is not much time left for the activity. As soon as the promotions are over, I will buy you a full stomach. Be it pork belly or pork belly. whatever."
At that moment, Seri's face brightened.
"Really? Then promise! and
You can never forget to make your stomach burst, right?"
"Yes, I promise."
At that moment, Seri's face brightened.
Meanwhile, Cherry Blossom entered the recording studio.
uh? Did you have a brother too?"
The Cherry Blossom members who came in with droopy shoulders, whether they were quite tired, were surprised to see me.
The current time is 11pm.
If you want to go to the last music room tomorrow,
Because it was time to rest in
"What's the matter with everyone saying they don't sleep? I need to take a break to go to tomorrow's schedule.
At that moment, Seri began to say something completely unexpected.
