I Became a Producer Who Rewrites Idols

13 – Scout (2)

“I am Boo-gil Lim, a producer at Lucky Seven Entertainment.”

“Yes… ….”

A high school girl with impressive straight black hair and headphones hanging around her neck.

A few buttons on his shirt were undone, and his tie was also loose.

Actually, I already knew his name.

Because it was an idol character that I raised several times in the game.

[Name: Jo Min-joo]

[Age: 18]

[Fatigue: ??]

[Vocal: ?? / Dance: ?? / Talking: ?? / Visual: ??]

[Current thoughts: ??]

Until Jo Min-ju developed the will to become an idol in the game,

Her abilities were not displayed.

Even these things are the same.

“If it’s Lucky Seven, is that Eunjin’s agency?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“What happens to me there?”

She took out a business card from her pocket, held it with both hands, and held it out to Jo Min-joo.

Jo Min-joo lowered her gaze and glanced at her business card.

“I want to raise students as idols at our Lucky Seven Entertainment.”

“…… Yes?”

“Why don’t you become an idol?”

Jo Min-joo moved her feet one step back from me. She seemed suspicious.

Well, not only Lucky Seven Entertainment but also other entertainment agencies generally do not conduct street scouting.

I couldn’t help but be suspicious.

Business cards can be manipulated.

“Please call the Lucky Seven Entertainment headquarters and check if I am really a Lucky Seven producer.”

“… ….”

In fact, if she really isn’t interested in idols,

I guess I just went my own way because I didn’t want to do it because it was a confirmation task and all.

However, Jo Min-joo searched for the Lucky Seven Entertainment headquarters phone number on his smartphone and went through the verification process.

“Mister.”

“… ….”

I felt like I was losing if I answered someone calling me uncle.

I only have one egg….

In today’s world, it’s not hard to hear people in their 30s.

“Mister, I don’t know how to do anything, so how can I become an idol?”

“We will train you. That… , What’s your name?”

“… ….”

Jo Min-ju seemed to be contemplating whether or not to tell me her name.

Actually, I already knew her name, but

It would be creepy if I knew his name even though it was my first time meeting him.

And revealing my name to me means,

It also meant that he would at least consider my proposal.

“I want to ask you something.”

“Ask as much as you want.”

“I’m not really bragging, but I don’t hear good things about that school.”

“Did you beat or rob someone?”

Jo Min-joo shook her head.

Actually, at 11:20 it is time to start class at school.

The fact that I am now at the intersection of Donggyo-dong, so far from school,

It meant that he was not spending his school life very diligently.

Quietly, Jo Min-ju rummaged through her skirt pocket and showed it to me.

It was a pack of cigarettes with only a few cigarettes left.

If a minor smokes, of course you won’t hear good things about it.

… She smoked something really strong, by the way.

It was 8 mg of tar.

“Do you want to keep smoking or quit?”

“…… “I want to quit.”

Even as she said that, Jo Min-joo put her own cigarette pack in her pocket.

Actually, as someone who has smoked in the past,

I knew that once you get a taste for it, it will be difficult to quit.

I pull it when I’m happy, I pull it when I’m sad, and I pull it when I’m angry.

“It’s true that even idols smoke.”

“… Is it so?”

“Well, to be honest, being an idol is not an easy job. “When you’re stressed, you want to smoke, right?”

Jo Min-joo chuckled,

“It looks like you wouldn’t put a cigarette near your mouth, but it looks like you smoked surprisingly.”

… Does it mean that he is handsome or just that he seems nice and kind?

“But wouldn’t it be bad for the image of an idol to say he smokes?”

“That’s right. So I hide it. In fact, for a producer like me, it’s best not to smoke at all.”

“But why did you say that there are also idols who smoke?”

“I want to scout because it’s okay to smoke.”

Jo Min-joo’s eyes widened at the word scout.

And my cheeks turned slightly red.

She seemed cold at first glance, but she looked cute when she was so shy.

Jo Min-ju said as he received my business card.

“Can I think about it for a moment?”

“Of course.”

“Can I contact you through this phone number?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Jo Min-joo puts the wireless headphones on his ears again and walks away.

He bowed his head slightly and said hello to me.

I smiled and told her, “I’ll wait.” She did

But suddenly Jo Min-ju came running towards me.

As if I missed something.

“Jo Min-joo, my name.”

“Ah, yes. Mr. Minju.”

Jo Min-joo, who told her name, went on his way again.

“Mae, the manager is replacing the producer for the time being?!”

Cursed Dolls members—Choi Joo-yoon and Gong Si-ion’s eyes widened at manager Jeong Song-i’s words.

For the time being, it’s enough to handle the things that keep coming in, but

I couldn’t believe that they had already gone to plan another idol group after leaving Cursed Dolls, who had not yet debuted long ago.

“Please understand, Mr. Shion. If the producer succeeds in one more project, this is an opportunity to move up to senior level.”

“Well, I understand that, but… ….”

“No matter how much you are a producer, it is difficult to take charge of both groups.”

Choi Joo-yoon bowed his head.

Eva Kang unlocked the smartphone in her hand and entered a text message in a group chat room where Producer Gil, pregnant woman, was not present.

It was not a coincidence that this suddenly happened.

Something happened.

So, Producer Lim Boo-gil is going to separate from Cursed Dolls for a while.

Kangeva had no choice but to understand it that way.

[Eva☆: Shion, you came back late last night. Do you know what happened with the producer?]

After seeing the message sent by Eva Kang, Joo-yoon Choi turned his head to Sion Gong.

Gong Shi-on said, “Ugh… !!” And avoided eye contact.

“…… Let me tell you first. “Actually, I went to the producer’s house yesterday.”

Choi Ju-yoon spoke honestly first.

The fact that I visited Producer Lim Boo-gil’s house before lunch to get him coffee that I brewed myself, and the fact that I secretly watched pornographic videos on his laptop.

I guessed that maybe he noticed that and took offense at her stalking-like behavior.

Gong Si-ion sighed after hearing Choi Joo-yoon’s story.

And then he opened his mouth.

“It’s probably me, not Jooyun, who is the cause. Actually, last night—.”

He went to my house to eat ramen together for a late-night snack, took off his clothes and showed me the bikini he had already worn underneath, and tried to cross the line by getting carried away with the atmosphere.

Choi Joo-yoon and Manager Jeong Song-i, who were listening next to each other, their expressions hardened.

[Eva☆: Zion, are you crazy?]

“Really…. I’m sorry, sister…. “I guess I was crazy.”

[Eva☆: You should also consider the producer’s position. Now, even if the producer likes Shion, we can’t date him.]

“That’s right….”

[Eva☆: Shion, you are prohibited from approaching the producer for the time being.]

From noble mtl dot com

“Yes, okay…” .”

Eva Kang looked at Choi Joo-yoon’s face this time.

Although the trigger was Gongsion’s sudden acceleration,

Choi Joo-yoon also tried to get ahead by quite a bit.

Eva Kang intentionally tried not to put pressure on producer Boo-gil Lim.

Even though I knew the address of the house, I didn’t go there or talk to him.

“Well, then maybe the producer noticed our feelings…? ?”

Choi Ju-yoon carefully asked Gong Si-on and Kang Eva.

“Maybe you would have noticed it a long time ago? Anyway, the producer is quick to notice.”

[Eva☆: Looking at your face, you seem to have a lot of experience with women.]

“Uh, uh, what should I do…” . I don’t want to be separated from the producer like this…….”

Choi Joo-yoon is in tears.

Eva Kang also wanted to cry.

Efforts to approach cautiously, assuming that you have already noticed,

It all went to waste.

“After all, I should go and apologize in person, or rather, via chat or phone, right?”

Gong Shi-on said while looking at the faces of Joo-yoon Choi and Eva Kang.

But Kang Eva slowly shook her head.

[Eva☆: I heard you pretended to sleep. Then don’t bother mentioning it further. Just bury it.]

Producer Im Boo-gil probably doesn’t intend to abandon Cursed Dolls altogether.

It seems like things are a bit overheated, so I’m just trying to keep some distance from each other.

If the new project passes the final inspection and becomes a success, it will be time for Cursed Dolls to prepare a new song.

In other words, he too will return at that time.

[Eva☆: Let’s wait.]

“Is it really okay…? ?”

Choi Joo-yoon asked, trembling all the way to his fingertips.

Out of the three Cursed Dolls members, he seemed to be the most shocked.

[Eva☆: I will be back when I prepare a new song. We all trust the producer, right? In times like this, you should rather believe and wait.]

“That’s right, Eva! “As time passes, I will forget what I did!”

[Eva☆: Shion, you should reflect on yourself.]

“Yes….”

Still, Gong Sion was mentally strong.

I quickly regained my energy.

Eva Kang thought there was nothing lacking in her role as a leader.

… As long as you don’t make a sudden move to attack the producer.

“Oh, now that I think about it, the manager also likes the producer, right?”

“Yes? “Why are you suddenly asking me something like that?”

“Why, the manager and I won’t be able to see our favorite producer for a while?”

“Now, wait a minute. “You’re saying you can’t even see me?”

“The manager will be with us most of the time now, right? So, would the producer who won’t be meeting us for a while meet the manager?”

Manager Jeong Song-i said, “Wow….” And sat down on her chair.

It seemed like he hadn’t thought about what Gong Shi-on said at all.

… Eva Kang realized once again that the real producer Lim Boo-gil is very popular.

She may not be a celebrity, but manager Jeong Song-i was also one of the beauties within Lucky Seven Entertainment.

All four people here like producer Lim Boo-gil as their opposite s*x partner.

Will these four really be the end?

His job is to continue producing idols in the future.

In other words, he was getting closer to other women.

[Eva☆: Let’s do the three-legged strategy that Shion mentioned]

“Huh? Eva, really? “Honestly, I was just saying it?”

“Is that really possible…? ? Ethical aside…….”

This is impossible for an ordinary woman.

Sharing her boyfriend was a source of conflict.

However, if we leave it ambiguous as it is now and keep each other in check by confronting Producer Lim Boo-gil,

The group called Cursed Dolls itself could have failed.

Her hard-won friend — Choi Joo-yoon, Gong Si-on Kang Eva did not want to lose.

[Eva☆: I will think about it in many ways.]

“Oh!! “I trust the brains of Seoul National University, Eva!!”

We must go in a way that preserves friendship and love as much as possible.

Kangeva thought.

***

Cho Hyun-ho, a fellow producer who joined the company with Im Boo-gil, was also in the spotlight before Cursed Dolls.

There were several idol groups that were moderately successful and projects that were huge hits after a long period of preparation.

Producer Lim Boo-gil, who has been writing nothing but writing,

Producer Cho Hyun-ho continued to ignore it.

It was obvious that such a low performer would be fired from the company anyway.

I was actually picked up by the executive director and given a ridiculous assignment to raise trainees who were almost on the verge of being kicked out.

But it was successful.

It also passed the final inspection in a short period of one month.

There were other producers who looked down on him for being lucky, but

It wasn’t luck.

It was an idea thoroughly conceived by producer Lim Boo-gil.

‘I have to take the tightrope towards the maternity road.’

The only people who noticed the success of Cursed Dolls were Manager Go Kang-tae and some executives.

That’s why Manager Ko told Producer Lim Boo-gil that he would give him a senior position if the project was as successful as Cursed Dolls.

Other producers were full of complaints, wondering if that made sense.

It was an opportunity to go under Imbu-gil and increase performance.

The humiliation of falling under one’s motivation?

There was no such thing.

The important thing is to go straight up.

If there was an escalator that was easier to ride, it would have been a good idea to move there.

“Manager, are you there?”

“Come in.”

Producer Cho Hyun-ho and Manager Ko Kang-tae sat across from each other in the manager’s office.

And right away, producer Cho Hyun-ho told us about his business.

“When Producer Im Boo-gil becomes a senior, I hope you will let me work under Im Boo-gil.”

“It’s also impatient. “I’m not even sure if I’ll wear it as a senior or not.”

“Don’t you already know, Manager? “I’m sure Producer Lim Boo-gil will succeed.”

“Whether you are a professional or a professional, as long as you succeed, it’s all good.”

Director Go Kang-tae grinned.

Producer Cho Hyun-ho, who knows that when Manager Ko was a producer, he selected many outstanding celebrities,

I felt a little afraid.

“Well, what if, what if. “If Pro Lim becomes a senior, I will strongly recommend you.”

“Thank you.”

“Then you know what? “I’m a professional, what are you doing now?”

“No….”

Director Go Kang-tae said with a chuckle.

“They say they do street scouting. Hey, that was the way it was almost done when we were young. “It’s been a long time since I heard this.”

“Gi, street scout….”

Before, I thought the project was planned and carried out in a very standard manner.

What on earth happened that made them use a method that was completely unexpected?

I was wondering how we could bring in ordinary people who were better than trainees who had been trained by professional instructors for several years.

But since I decided to walk the tightrope once, I had to watch.

I haven’t actually worked under producer Lim Boo-gil yet,

If a new project fails miserably, it naturally becomes a story that never happened.

“Oh, by the way, I heard that Pro Lim is leaving Cursed Dolls in the care of a manager for the time being.”

“I guess I won’t have time to pay attention to details because I’m working on a new project.”

“That’s right. So, would you please take charge of the Cursed Dolls for a while? Of course, your project takes priority.”

“I understand.”

The jobs of producers and managers are different.

There are limits to being a manager.

It was a consideration so that producer Lim Boo-gil could focus on the new project.

Producer Cho Hyun-ho left the manager’s office after greeting Manager Go Kang-tae.

I headed to office number 302.
