I Became a Producer Who Rewrites Idols

Chapter 7

7 – Warehouse Release Group (7)

“Cursed Dolls? “Whose is it?”

The executives looked at the three-member girl group on stage.

A Lolita doll, she is an idol with a concept that I have not often seen before.

Director Ko Kang-tae explained from the side.

“This is a project by producer Lim Boo-gil.”

“Oh, am I pregnant again?”

“There won’t be much to see.”

“The last four-member group also narrowly passed.”

Director Ko Kang-tae noticed that the executives were momentarily interested in the three-member girl group—Cursed Dolls.

It’s hard to believe that the atmosphere of the three idols has completely changed.

The executive director even intentionally sent people who were likely to fail spectacularly in order to fire producer Lim Boo-gil.

At least it briefly caught the attention of executives who had seen numerous idols both internally and externally.

I was able to see that Producer Lim Boo-gil’s producing skills had suddenly improved.

In the past, I tried to release an idol with a somewhat clumsy quality that seemed like something I had seen before.

At least for this group, their visuals were perfect.

“”Knock, knock, knock.””

“The clock is running backwards~♪”

The full-scale stage has begun.

Director Go Kang-tae was able to get a glimpse of Producer Lim Boo-gil’s strategy.

Gongsion, whose weakness is singing, focuses entirely on the chorus.

Instead, since dance is his specialty, Gongsion’s choreography is often brought to the forefront, making Gongsion stand out visually.

Choi Joo-yoon has the opposite characteristics of Gong Shi-on, who is weak at dancing and special at singing.

Instead of keeping your body as still as possible,

A lot of solo parts were assigned to vocals.

It was a structure that seemed to remind anyone that Choi Joo-yoon was good at singing at least one song.

“Kyaaa… !”

While Choi Joo-yoon was doing her dance steps, she fell sideways once.

The executives began to mutter.

“… Huh? “What, did you just fall?”

“I am indeed. “It’s cute, but it shouldn’t be like this.”

“But you just fell in a really cute way. “It might be a coincidence.”

It seemed like a mistake, but Manager Ko Kang-tae knew it right away.

“No, this is acting.”

“Smoke? “You fell on purpose?”

“Yes, that’s right. Although it wasn’t noticeable, I did the right thing. “While taking the fall technique, I raised my voice to be as cute as possible.”

“When I listen to Manager Ko’s words, it seems like he has a bit of an acting tone….”

The executives nodded.

“This is Producer Lim Boo-gil’s strategy.”

“Really? How?”

“If you fall, you are bound to naturally attract attention like you just did. If that happens on air….”

“Ah, where did you say it was a GIF? “You want to raise awareness by circulating it on the Internet?”

“That’s right. “It’s not an unpleasant thing, it’s humorous noise marketing.”

If it’s just funny,

I will just end up as a clumsy idol,

Choi Joo-yoon has excellent singing skills that can cover even those falls.

Moreover, it is a style that suits Choi Joo-yoon, a Lolita doll, well.

What is this, this is so funny. Who are these people?

This is a new girl group from Lucky Seven, like Cursed Dolls or something.

Wow, but he sings really well. It’s pretty and has a nice atmosphere.

I liked other kids besides him. He’s really good at dancing. I guess he’s talented.

Not everyone will follow the trend after seeing the falling scene,

From noble mtl dot com

If some of them show even the slightest interest, marketing will be successful.

As it is a girl group targeting 1020s, marketing spread through the Internet, a medium frequently accessed by 1020s, has been effective recently.

“Because I don’t want to be separated from you, because I love you more than anyone else, that’s why I go back, but why do you keep throwing me away♪”

Eva Kang came out between Choi Joo-yoon and Gongsi On and started singing her rap.

“You sing rap too?”

“Oh, it’s okay. “He’s good at rapping.”

“The composition of the song is both meaningful and good.”

“You made really good use of your members.”

Praise from executives continued.

The CEO also smiled,

“Professor Lim will do the job this time.”

Praised producer Lim Boo-gil.

It is almost confirmed that the final inspection has passed.

“Tsk.”

But the managing director frowned.

Among the executives, he was the one who wanted to kick producer Im Boo-gil out of the company.

In order to send out Producer Lim Boo-gil, we intentionally sent only trainees who were difficult to combine.

Receiving such a wonderful result back to me meant that things did not go as planned.

“Representative, don’t be fooled. Even Pro Imp made his debut a few times.”

“That’s right what our managing director said. The real battle begins once any product is released into the market. Rather, that is where the producer’s true capabilities are revealed.”

“Yes, Mr. President. So, I think it would be better not to have too high expectations.”

The CEO nodded once, not even listening.

Manager Go Kang-tae couldn’t figure out why the executive director disliked producer Lim Boo-gil so much.

Of course, it was true that producer Lim Boo-gil’s performance was not very good.

So, as a company executive, it was understandable that they wanted to fire him.

But as if I had a grudge against him,

I tried to criticize him somehow and drive him out.

“Manager Go.”

“Yes, Managing Director.”

“…… “What on earth happened to Pro Lim?”

I told the CEO not to trust Im Bu-gil, but

In fact, the executive director himself,

She seemed very surprised by the change in her pregnancy.

***

I looked at the abilities of not only the Cursed Dolls I raised, but also the idols who appeared on the final inspection stage.

But what was really surprising was,

The problem was that there were many producers who did not raise their abilities to 70 before sending them out.

Most people’s abilities were around 60, and many were below 60.

When I think about that, I am very lucky.

How convenient it is because there is a status window.

In fact, in the [Idol Producing] Game, the idol’s abilities can be seen by any player.

When I had just opened the game, I had a hard time waking up because I had no strategy or anything.

Looking back now, it was a memory to write down each strategy to be considerate of newbies and post it to the relevant community.

Jeong Song turned his head to the manager.

“Manager, who do you think did the best among the groups that came out today?”

“…… “I think we did the best.”

“Oh, that’s natural. “Except us.”

“Well…. “I think the kids who came out second were okay?”

The kids who came out second.

Ah, I remembered.

It was a girl group with an ability level of approximately 68.

They were definitely the best kids I raised after the Cursed Dolls.

“Ah, the second producer in charge was producer Cho Hyun-ho.”

“Cho Hyun-ho?”

“Yes, producer Jo Hyun-ho.”

Who is it?

… No, there has never been a producer other than the player in the [Idol Producing] Game.

So there was no way I could have known.

“Do you not remember…? ?”

“… “I’m sorry, I guess I have dementia these days, hahahaha.”

I laughed and told an awkward joke.

“What kind of dementia is it, producer? The producer himself said that Jo Hyun-ho was his motivation for joining the company.”

“That’s right…” “It was.”

“You really don’t remember?? Last year, he told me that Cho Hyun-ho was on a roll, but his classmate, who joined the company, wasn’t doing anything at all….”

“Well, I guess that happened before, hahahaha.”

Why does manager Jeong Song-i keep asking me questions?

I don’t remember.

Beyond just not remembering, I don’t even know.

All I could remember was buying a gaming laptop with the money I worked hard to save last year.

But Manager Jeong Song-i lowered his head.

As if he was very sad.

What is this reaction?

Did you ever have a fling with Manager Jeong Song-i?

That’s probably not true.

He was worried that he would charge me for sushi.

Since he didn’t have much of a connection with women, he seemed to be overly conscious of manager Jeong Song-i.

“Producer… !” “… ….” “Producer!”

Cursed Dolls members—Choi Joo-yoon, Kang Eva, and Gong Si-on approached me.

Hmm, this is how the idols, sweating profusely, approach me with smiling faces!

It was really nice to see.

Of course, Eva Kang did not smile and kept a blank expression.

Ding—.

Kang expected Eva to pick up her smartphone.

[Eva: I felt really good, producer☆]

Something came that other people might misunderstand.

Be sure to attach the subject correctly.

“All three of you worked hard today. The results will be announced soon. “Manager.”

“Yes, here.”

Manager Jeong Song-i distributed ionic drinks to three people.

Perhaps they were very thirsty because they were nervous because it was their first performance, so all three immediately opened the lid and gulped it down.

Idols even look pretty when they drink water.

“I think it will be worthwhile even if I don’t pass today! Right, Jooyun, Eva?”

“That’s right… ! I feel like I showed everything I can do… !!”

[Eva: ME TOO☆]

… Cursed Dolls members always held smartphones in their hands when talking to each other.

That way, you can see what Eva Kang says in the group chat room.

I was a bit surprised that she invited me to that chat room as well.

Well, there’s probably a separate group chat room without me.

-From now on, we will announce the final inspection of the new plan for February.

There were a total of eight idol groups on stage today.

Just by looking at this, we could see how big the entertainment agency called Lucky Seven Entertainment was.

It means that eight groups were planned in this February alone.

Of course, it would be rare for a producer like me to prepare in just one month.

“Ah, ah…. Wow, I’m nervous…. What rank will we have? ….”

“Still, it would be nice to get at least 4th place!”

[Eva: I will definitely come in 4th place☆]

… It’s strange, I produced these guys to debut.

Why does everyone think they will fall?

Is it because no matter how much you think about it, you don’t think it will pass the final inspection in a month?

Lucky Seven Entertainment’s criteria for passing the final inspection at the end of the month are:

It was a ranking.

Among the eight groups that came out today, we will be in the top three.

It was a simple tallying method in which executives assigned scores to each group and added them up.

-1St place, Alfredo

Oh?

Aren’t we?

What is it?

No matter how much I think about it, Cursed Dolls did the best among the groups that came out today.

… Have you ever been criticized because of my image?

It’s like they don’t have any expectations because they’re an idol produced by Producer Bulgil.

I thought it would be possible since the executives just give scores based on individual subjective opinion.

-2Nd place, World Heritage

No, f*ck.

No matter what, I did better than these guys, right?

It was so f*cking hot.

Could it be that Choi Joo-yoon did not notice the intention of falling lightly once?

Today, I even deliberately told Choi Joo-yoon to fall down in a way that was a bit conspicuous!

“… Producer, don’t worry.”

Manager Jeong Song-i grabbed my arm and spoke to me, as I was a little nervous.

“It will definitely pass. There was no doubt about it when I saw it.”

It was a serious look.

This is the best view of manager Jeong Song-i that I have seen in the past month.

This person looks really pretty like this.

Even among the small number of users of [Idol Producing], There were quite a few people who liked manager Jeong Song-i.

“Yes, I believe it too. It would be 3rd. “Whether you come in third or first place, all you have to do is pass.”

Manager Jeong Song-i smiled at my words.

Actually, there was a slight difference between 1st and 3rd place.

This is because the higher the rank, the higher the allocated budget.

Even if you pass in 3rd place, there is no such situation as having to use a cardboard box as a desk.

The cost of publicity, which was much needed in the early days of idols, will be reduced.

In other words, the difficulty level increases a bit.

-3Rd place—.

I was drooling.

The three Cursed Dolls members, who had said they had no expectations, also swallowed their saliva like me.

As expected, they also want to debut.

I just didn’t have high expectations because I didn’t want to be too disappointed.

-Uh… …. Sorry, there was an error in your tally. Please wait a moment.

Lucky Seven Entertainment’s logo song came out of the speakers without any announcement of third place.

No, it’s not a commercial. What is this?

Announce it quickly, you bastards!!

It’s making people’s hearts tremble.

“This is my first time doing something like this….”

Manager Jeong Song-i opened his eyes and said.

Of course, I was very embarrassed as it was something I had never experienced in the [Idol Producing] Game where the results were displayed on the screen right away.

There was definitely a difference between the game and reality in this area.

There can be things like counting errors.

“Oooh!! Producer!! “I think I’m going to fall behind!!”

Gong Shi-on went on a rampage.

… You jump well in high heeled shoes.

Actually, there are dances that are more difficult.

“Shion, can’t you tell me you’re going to go somewhere else and search?”

“Then what do you say?!”

“Say you feel like you’re going to die.”

“I think I’m going to die!!”

“That’s right, like that.”

“I think I’m going to die!!”
