Celebrity Life Misunderstood as a Genius

[20] Auspicious (1)

A publishing company that connects composers and artists.

The system that came from the United States has completely settled down in Korea.

Composers who directly contract with Enter were rarer now.

As soon as I arrived at the meeting place, I felt a familiar sensation.

“Keuh, big company smell.”

They say that if you have a few well-known composers, you can make money.

You could guess the level just by looking at the luxurious interior.

The information you see in front of you as soon as you enter.

An elegantly dressed staff greeted me with a smile.

“Hello. What are you here for?”

“It came from the Q&G label.”

“Ah, manager Jeong Soo-ho?”

“Yes, that is correct.”

Turn-up Publishing Music, an affiliate of Q&G label.

A company founded by Turnup Records, one of the Big 4 entertainment companies.

Currently, about 10% of the domestic music market is distributed through this place.

“Get a visitor’s pass here, and if you’re waiting in room 302, the person in charge will come out.”

“Thank you.”

I nodded to the information desk clerk and headed for the elevator.

“I received songs here, and my kids have grown up a lot.”

Currently, there are two groups that are performing well in the 1st tier of the Q&G label.

Among them, Solar also deserved to be treated as a rising star.

I was spending my time looking around the inside of the meeting room.

Knock, Knock-

Soon after, the A&R in charge knocked and entered the conference room.

“Hello. I’m Assistant Manager Lee Young-mi.”

“Oh, yes. Nice to meet you.”

A career woman with an intelligent appearance.

The other person spoke lightly.

“It’s the first time I signed a contract with an artist from the 2nd headquarters of the Q&G label.”

“Yes. Zetkik took a lot of songs, right?”

“… Jet Kick.”

The male idol who has been feeding the Q&G label for a while, Zet Kick.

It was the team that was most important when Dream Agency took over.

“I heard that the contract period is not long.”

“Well, I don’t know the circumstances of Headquarters 1 either.”

“Oh, excuse me.”

“Fine.”

I didn’t have anything else to say, so I got to the point right away.

“Hey, can I listen to the song first?”

“Of course. You said you needed a dance song for the contest.”

“Yes, that is correct.”

“Then would you like to hear it right away?”

“Good.”

Assistant Manager Lee Young-mi took out her laptop straight away from the bag she had brought.

“Listen to this folder, please pick about 10 songs.”

“All right.”

“Choose slowly and contact me.”

“Ah yes.”

Leaving behind the employee who left the laptop behind, he reached for the mouse.

First of all, if you think about the Diana arrangement, you should choose plenty.

With the heart of a warrior who chooses a famous sword from an old weapon shop.

Click-

I listened to the songs prepared by A&R one by one.

I was able to experience the level of composers these days.

‘Oh, everyone is flawless.’

It’s not for nothing that this bottom is called the Red Ocean.

Indeed, composer skills these days were all at a high level.

Especially if you’re at the level of signing a contract with a publisher here.

‘… Because everyone is a pro.’

It did not deviate from the feeling of fitting into the standardized framework.

I don’t mean it in a bad way, because I was truly perfect like a machine.

Click-

In the meantime, as soon as I heard a certain song, a tickling sensation rushed from the back of my neck.

[Get up, Beat up (Produced by Straight)]

Normally, it’s not my taste and I would have ignored it.

“… This?”

Even unfinished songs.

There’s only a few tracks.

“Okay, keep it for now.”

I couldn’t just get over it because of this killer guy.

Although it was a bit far from the concept of an innocent girl group right now.

“Because reverse betrayal is love.”

Click, click-

Every time there was a song that made the back of my head itchy, I saved it, so I quickly filled ten songs.

It may not be all to my taste, but if you look at the genre, it was on the popular side.

“Yes. This is right.”

Even now, I feel proud that Solar is being treated properly.

I usually only pick one out of 100 songs.

Is it true that you chose among the 2 debut songs?

“Let’s see. I’ll raise Solar and go back to Dream Agency.”

Good music for me is shit.

* * *

Assistant manager Lee Young-mi swallowed her saliva and checked her playlist.

I thought she, like any normal manager, would listen and choose.

‘What is this… This person?’

Only songs written by famous producers under sub-composer titles were selected like ghosts.

She thought it would take at least a few hours, but she only took an hour.

‘Is this kind of genius…?’

Although she wasn’t ignoring the manager.

Wouldn’t this be too much of a waste of talent?

No matter how good your ears are, people have limits.

All ten of her songs gave her goosebumps that she had been saving.

“Manager, it took less than an hour…?”

“Yes. I only heard the intro.”

“… Oh my gosh.”

Originally, the intro part is the most important part of the music.

But I can’t choose such a good song in 10 seconds.

“Ugh, I like all the songs, so I don’t know which one to choose.”

“That’s right?”

“Yes. If it was a regular album, I would have taken all of them. hahahaha.”

“!!!”

Creepy-

This man says such scary things casually.

You say without hesitation that you will fill all of them with title tracks.

‘Wow, I almost got dog hair.’

I’m glad it’s not a regular album.

I almost pulled out the root of the pillar and brought it back.

In today’s upward leveling market, the ability to listen ‘well’ was also a talent.

Even if I majored in music and rolled on this floor for 10 years, it would be impossible.

I heard that she raised Solar, the most famous of the new girl groups, by herself.

‘You really have a great eye.’

I have to tell you to choose one song before being greedy.

“Which of these songs is your favourite?”

“Um, they’re all not-, no, they’re all good.”

[Get up, Beat up (Produced by Straight)]

“This is what appeals to me the most.”

“Also.”

As soon as Lee Young-mi checked the song Suho pointed out, she let out a sigh inwardly.

“Why is the song still unfinished…?”

“I think mixing and mastering are all we need to do?”

“… All right.”

A top producer belonging to the parent company, Turn Up Records.

It was a song Seo Tae-sung had been holding on to until recently.

‘I chose an unfinished song out of hundreds of songs…’

All in all, that song is a song that the top producers of the Big 4 Entertainment are putting their heart and soul into.

A crazy talent that would appear in a movie.

With this perspective, I will start my own company.

“But as far as I know, it’s a song that I’m discussing with a certain rapper.”

“Oh yeah?”

Famous rapper Jacob, although his temper was dirty, his skills were clear.

“Still, I haven’t signed a contract yet, so I’ll contact you.”

“Oh, I’m fine. That’s why I picked ten songs.”

“…”

Because only one of them is yours.

Scratching the back of the head, a dissatisfied expression.

It was clear that they had their eyes on other songs as well.

“I’ll contact the producer first.”

“Thank you.”

Manager Jeong Soo-ho, this is the first time I’ve seen someone like this.

A music expert with tremendous skills and endless greed.

I felt like I wanted to be scouted by the A&R rookie discovery team.

Trururu—

Assistant manager Lee Young-mi immediately called producer Seo Tae-seong.

“Producer, I’m Assistant Manager Lee Young-mi.”

-Oh, I was just about to call you.

“Yeah?”

-The song I gave you has a separate owner, so I don’t think you should give it to someone else.

“Oh yeah?”

Of course I knew you were referring to Jacob.

The opponent brought out an unexpected name.

-Q&G label, I want to sign a contract with Diana.

“Who, who?”

-Solar’s Diana. Can’t you contact the Q&G label?

“…”

The moment I heard that, my brain stopped for a moment.

I was dumbfounded because it was too common for a coincidence.

‘Could this be a coincidence…?’

Maybe it’s the result someone expected.

There, the person who is awkwardly touching the back of the head.

“Let’s set up a meeting…”

“Yeah.”

Assistant Manager Lee Young-mi watched Suho from the back as she left the conference room.

“… That’s not normal.”

He is not a person that a small company like Q&G Label can have.

* * *

The Q&G label is sweet.

The performance bonus recorded in the bank account exceeded the monthly salary.

An unimaginable amount at Dream Agency.

“Wow, financial treatment.”

Now that I think about it, I don’t think I have to go back to Dream Agency.

The previous team has already been disbanded, and there will be no one to welcome you.

“It’s not bad here either.”

Except for graduating from Korea University and attending small and medium-sized enterprises, there were no particular disadvantages.

Drooling-

She was back at work and looking for a choreography team.

“Suho!”

From the back, team leader Park Chul-min suddenly pushed his hair out.

“Ah, yes. Chief.”

“I heard that producer Seo Tae-seong caught the song?”

“?”

No, the name of the composer was Straight.

Manager Lee Young-mi didn’t say anything like that either.

“Producer Seo is coming here right now!”

“??”

So why

“Wow, how did you catch it?”

“Uh…”

At that time, the manager rushed over and called me.

“You’ve just arrived! Come on!”

“Suho, the chief is calling. Go ahead.”

“Ah, yes. Chief.”

After a while, without knowing why, I was called into the second division chief’s office.

＜Top Idol＞

A person I couldn’t meet even during filming.

Because I signed a contract with producer Seo Tae-sung.

“Chief, how are you?”

“Hey, is manager Jeong Soo-ho here?”

“Yes. This is my first formal greeting.”

“No, I said hello to you a lot in my heart.”

“…”

The general manager greeted me with a condescending tone.

“Sit down for now.”

Abs trained with alcohol belly in a generous impression.

He seemed like a friendly uncle, but he had a lot of personal connections.

This person’s contribution to Solar’s growth was by no means insignificant.

The reputation among the directors of broadcasting stations is very good.

“I heard that producer Seo Tae-sung is on his way.”

“Ah, yes. Chief.”

“I thought there would be no more surprises to manager Jeong Soo-ho.”

“…”

Soon after, I confirmed that the owner of the song I had chosen was producer Seo Tae-sung.

‘Crazy, what a shit.’

Was Straight the composer Seo Tae-seong?

I was worried when choosing an unfinished song.

“I’m doing well now, so just do it like this.”

“Ah, yes. Chief.”

“Tell me if you need anything.”

“What you need…”

There are so many, but I have to say just one.

“I would appreciate it if you could trust me with Solar.”

“hahahaha. That’s natural. It’s been like that until now.”

“…”

There may be subtle reprimands mixed in.

‘Cause I’ve been doing it my way

If the results weren’t good, I wouldn’t have anything to say even if I was kicked out.

Knock, Knock-

At that time, producer Seo Tae-sung appeared as he knocked outside the door.

“Nice to meet you.”

“Oh, are you here?”

“Could that be…”

Under the Big 4 Entertainment, audition program judge level producer.

My heart skipped a beat when I faced a person I only saw on TV.

“Hello. I’m Jung Soo-ho.”

“Nice to meet you. I heard you raised Solar alone?”

“No, it isn’t.”

Even the head of the headquarters is next to me. What are you saying?

“I heard that the person who discovered Diana’s genius was manager Jeong Soo-ho.”

“No, absolutely not.”

I still haven’t discovered genius.

“Manager Lee Young-mi praised me like that.”

“Me?”

“Yes. It’s not an ordinary eye.”

“…”

I met him for the first time today.

Producer Seo Tae-sung’s question that has been going on for quite some time.

I continued to answer while keeping an eye on the general manager.

‘Oh, social life is difficult.’

Top producers don’t need to notice others, so they don’t know.

Thanks to that, he had to sweat for a while in front of his distant boss.

“Anyway, I hope you do good business in the future. hahahaha.”

“… Yes.”

* * *

After a hard day,

Finally, I took the Solar members to the dorm.

I was very tired from walking around all day.

“Guys, I don’t have a morning schedule tomorrow.”

“Oh, it’s been a while!”

“… In the morning.”

“Sloof.”

Every time I see my youngest, I think his expression is colorful.

“Somi, do you want to play a game?”

“Yes.”

“With that skill?”

“Ah.”

I don’t know the mental, but the physical is garbage.

Since I don’t have any talent for the game, let’s fold it.

“Everyone go to bed early. We’ll start creating choreography and composing songs from tomorrow morning.”

“Yes!”

“Oh, and Eunseo.”

“Yeah?”

No matter how hard it is to make a living, stop drinking.

How sad my grandmother would be if she knew.

“Don’t buy anything from the convenience store in the morning.”

“… Preload.”

I checked the members entering the dorm and turned around.

In fact, it was comfortable to just drive without meeting people.

On days when I had a lot of schedules, I even slept in the van.

I finished my day, so I asked Jiyu a question for the last time.

“Jiyu, can you take me home?”

“Brother.”

“Yes?”

In an instant, Umji-yu said to me with a serious expression.

“It’s good to work with producer Seo Tae-sung, but there are things that take a while.”

“What.”

“That was originally supposed to work with Jacob.”

“… However?”

What does that mean when there is no contract?

Anyway, I was completely hooked on Diana’s skills.

“Jacob, he’s famous among rappers for being a bad temper.”

“Ah, what does that have to do with us?”

“What if I do a diss?”

“Well.”

No matter how famous a rapper was, his influence was not comparable to Seo Tae-sung’s.

“Dissing Producer Seo? Is there any chance of being buried?”

“… No. Diana.”

In an instant, a strong sensation rushed to the back of my head.

“He’ll be easy on Diana, too.”

“Ah, does that make sense?”

Some kind of rapper is dissing a girl group who is still.

.

.

.

.

.

Next day,

A fast-growing video on a YouTube channel.

I blankly listened to the diss song that Jacob suddenly released.

– Do idols rap? Not babbling? Your rap is garbage, mine is about a thousand per month. Trash will suck your rap. You will die, go home and see the baby.

Not only Diana, but all idol raps.

There is a chewy taste that sticks in your ears just by looking at the rap.

‘This bastard is a total old man.’

A famous domestic rapper’s Disrap spicy taste.

I comforted the agitated members, especially Diana.

I’m still timid, but today I’ve become more and more wrinkled.

“Diana, we must go.”

“Yes.”

It seems like you’re writing something on your smartphone.

Aren’t timid friends usually like this?

“Manager, what should I do now…?”

“What can I do?”

It’s a diss song that snipers a girl group member.

At first glance, that seemed like a pretty bad sign.

“Just trust me and don’t mind me.”

“Yeah!”

He rubbed the back of his head, enjoying the feeling of uneasiness.

It was auspicious.
