Debut or Die

Episode 515 Liu Cheng

-wu was immersed in his unconscious.

Sudden changes in environment and conditions. The days when I did my best to adapt to it.

And the tenacity that burns like a flame when you meet the last chance.

-Mr. Chungwoo?

But that was the end too.

Mr. Chung!

‘ah.’

Liu Qingyu raised his head.

Calling himself is an unfamiliar manager.

Not long after he memorized his name, he said that he was the manager recently hired by the group Testa.

‘And the first manager said that he caused a car accident… … .’

Now, that information is meaningless. For some reason, just thinking about it made Liu Qingyu feel better.

However, he does not express himself and responds calmly.

yes.

I’d like to buy you a drink. What would you like?

He also knew that the manager would buy another drink on a regular basis in the morning when Testa’s schedule started and between 2 and 3 after lunch.

However, now it was a special situation where neither of the two cases were applicable.

Because the practice room was filming.

Oh, thank you. Then latte… .

The sound of small answers from the production crew who were asked about drinks by other employees of the company could be heard here and there.

He dryly checked the staff of < Jinsung Match > that filled the outside of the practice room before opening his mouth.

Please make it easy for you to order.

That was enough.

Steer Ryu Chung-woo’s final period began like that.

* * *

The original steer, Ryu Chung-woo, on the day he said ‘I will recover my memory’, disappeared as soon as the schedule was over… No, I was thinking of ‘getting back my memory’.

But it didn’t work out as planned.

-That’s tough.

Moondae Park. The unfamiliar member, who had previously been his relative, expressed disapproval.

The reason given is ‘variable risk’.

-If you get your memories back, you might be confused for a while. I have a lot of things to do with the camera.

It was logical.

That is why Liu Cheng-wu is currently sitting here meaninglessly.

In fact, I could have replied that it was my business, but I didn’t.

‘Because I’m not even doing a stage.’

If it was just filling empty seats for a few days, it was just waiting time. Although tired.

Liu Cheng-wu drank the allotted drink. It was a hot americano.

It’s called decaf.

… … .

Sejin’s older brother

The one who approached with a blank expression and spoke to him was someone who, like himself, was away from the camera’s spotlight.

It was also a person who came to my mind.

‘Park Moon-dae.’

This member, like herself and Kim Rae-bin, was eliminated from this contest.

I don’t know the exact reason why it was missing, but I wanted to know what it was.

If it had been before, I don’t know if I would have paid attention to this side and tried to check whether I was missing or not, in some way that didn’t seem excessive. But now there was no impetus for that.

Ryu Cheng-wu just nodded slightly and drank the Americano.

Moondae Park, without saying anything, held his drink and looked at the practice scene of the members of the ‘Testa Unit’ that the camera was filming.

… … .

Silence passed.

Thank you~ Oh coffee!

is it my cake? Wow.

And the practice room started to become noisy. The ‘Testa Unit’ stopped choreography to see if the shooting of the practice scene had been sufficiently completed and was accepting drinks and snacks with a smile.

At that moment, Park Mun-dae, who was sitting next to him, rose from his seat as if the time had come.

Then we move too. Because the preparations are over.

… preparation?

ready to shoot

I said I wouldn’t do this contest.

What do you mean by shooting?

However, Park Moon-dae looked back at himself as if he was rather strange.

It’s an almost absurd look.

Just because we don’t perform on stage doesn’t mean we won’t appear on the program.

… … .

You have to participate in making the stage. In order to complete the stage, besides performing, there are not one or two things that need to be changed.

It was at this time that Liu Cheng-wu began to feel something strange.

And when he came to his senses, he was even conducting an interview with Park Moon-dae and Kim Rae-bin.

Voila. These are the three contract producers for this contest.

‘… … ?’

I will try hard.

clap clap clap

Park Moon-dae, who clapped, was the center, and Kim Rae-bin, on the other side, was clapping coldly.

… … .

Should we play together?

However, even before the question was over, Moondae Park’s words swayed.

Arranged by Kim Rae-bin, Park Moon-dae’s theme selection.

Since we are a group that self-produces albums, we wanted to show that kind of image once, and it seems to have worked out. As everyone knows, we are the best 3 members of this group when it comes to producing.

Seriously?

sure. It’s the perfect truth.

Even the cameraman suppressed laughter at the words of Park Moon-dae, who answered the PD’s humorous question in a bold manner.

and.

His gaze returned to himself.

Here, Chung Woo-hyung will be in charge of general drawing and review. feedback.

Wow.

Led by Park Moon-dae, the production team responded positively.

… … thank you

So Ryu Cheng-wu was finally given the role.

-Executive Producer.

I realized right away that it is a title that does nothing but just look at the stage and do nothing.

It was because there were no other requests from Liu Cheng-wu for several days after that.

The word producer is also a nominal word. Thinking so, Liu Cheng-wu spent his time not getting involved in anything.

Time passed quickly as I did nothing.

I wondered if I had ever been like this in my life. Because it was a busy life of repeating achievements through extreme training and slipping and falling.

‘Is it the same when I quit archery?’

But at that time, I didn’t feel so exhausted and floating. Because it was painful.

Pain slows down time.

However, there was no pain to worry about right now, so the next shooting day came in an instant.

Surprisingly, it is said that the form of the performance came out in three days.

They said that we need our reaction while watching the performance, so I think we will take a picture together.

And they moved to a corporate space in the form of a large lecture hall.

How’s it going?

So~

The members of Testa with a smile stood on a simple stage made by removing the podium in the center, and Moondae Park sat at the front of the podium exchanging small talk.

There Ravin… ! The song was really good!

… ! Are you sure?! thank you!

Even Kim Rae-bin had conversations with other unfamiliar members other than Cha Yu-jin, probably because he often communicated with ‘Testa’ while arranging.

‘Is that really a natural adaptation?’

Liu Qingyu laughed to himself and sat down. It wasn’t even particularly embarrassing.

The stage started right away after some maintenance.

Oh, but since we’re standing like this… Hmm, I think this is a bit out of balance.

Of course, the four units were a combination of three with a dance position and one with a vocal position.

Even the height of the three dance positions created a strange sense of separation.

… … me?

Nod.

And in the end, the position was readjusted at the gloomy question of Bae Se-jin, the ‘other one’.

Center~!

Oh! Center!

… … !

In line with the member’s response, Bae Se-jin creaked and moved to the middle.

And when Bae Se-jin stands in the center… The balance was right.

hahaha!

Smile?

… … .

The writers desperately covered their mouths. Seon Ah-hyun’s face turned red as if she was holding back a laugh.

Yes. Bae Se-jin reacted like he was pissed, but it wasn’t a serious atmosphere.

The honesty that comes from a casual relationship that a good team would have.

‘… … .’

I could have belonged to this atmosphere.

He felt the urge flash again, but it soon faded.

so! Please take into consideration that our movement line is temporary, just adjusted~

And the starting stage.

A retro theme with a somewhat musical composition unfolds with a bright and cheerful band accompaniment.

Taking into account the difference in individual capabilities, the refined distribution of parts caught my eye immediately.

Did he even develop an occupational disease? Liu Qingyu smiled bitterly.

But that was all. [

As if there is a special gap

between us ]

The music rings.

Performance continues.

Fierce and exhausting thought about what level of performance should be secured in that gap.

The stage you see without it is… It was comfortable.

[I don’t know what this interval will be like

yet

]

It’s been a while since Ryu Chung-woo watched a competitor’s stage without thinking.

[Yes!]

The 1-minute demo version performance ended in an instant.

That’s it! Thank you!

Around the time when I was briefly enveloped in the afterglow.

As if he had waited, Moondae Park’s nonchalant words struck and entered.

Brother feedback.

… … .

Liu Cheng-wu felt a little rejected and embarrassed.

I never thought I would really ask for feedback.

‘Didn’t I just give you a title?’

However, Park Moon-dae’s face was a bit plain. Just like asking because you need something to say on a broadcast.

‘is it.’

Realizing that there was no need to give such fierce and accurate feedback, Ryu Cheng-wu nodded slightly. Park Moon-dae immediately asked.

First of all, please start with the good part.

Liu Cheng-wu answered without thinking for a long time.

The movement was light.

It was. I thought it would be better to use a live band to suit that, but… .

For a moment, the thought of feeling similar feelings flashed through Liu Cheng-wu’s head. with a faint delight.

However, Park Moon-dae did not ask for consent and continued the conversation like flowing water.

well anyway How do you feel about choreography?

It was fine.

yes. It’s a good choice, but… What do you miss?

I didn’t even care about that.

Ryu Cheng-wu instantly found a connection point in the part he answered earlier.

Were the movements more flashy than the music?

Yes. Because it’s not a finished song yet.

Park Moon-dae nodded and looked at the performers who were drinking water, then took out his smartphone.

This is the version Lavin is working on right now. Oh Rabin. Is it okay if I turn it off?

yes… !

Kim Rae-bin, who was applauding the members, was surprised and affirmed. And Park Mun-dae carelessly played his smartphone and passed the wireless earphones out of his pocket.

Ryu Cheng-wu was caught up in the natural movement and started to listen to the music before he knew it.

‘… … ?’

However, it was not unusual enough to refuse, so he naturally listened to music without being aware of it.

It got a little flashy.

That’s right.

I wish there were more strings in this part.

ah.

Would a gold crown be better?

strings and brass.

‘hmm.’

Ryu Chung-woo focused on music for a moment.

… … .

And Park Moon-dae observed it carefully.

while affirming his judgment once more.

This is the judgment I made a few days ago when I heard Steer Ryu Chung-woo’s declaration, ‘I will recover my memory’.

– Not like this.

I didn’t think it would be a very good look if the memory came back in a state of burnout like that.

It was all the more so because he was originally a member who had a strong mentality and was so deep that it was hard to know what was inside.

Then why did former steer Ryu Chung-woo burn out so much?

A clear answer was ready for him.

‘I did a job that didn’t come back for too long.’

Even continuing to do things that don’t suit you or that you don’t enjoy is, of course, boring.

Especially if it ended without any results.

It was more problematic that Liu Cheng-wu’s mental strength was so strong that he lasted for a very long time.

Bae Se-jin also agreed.

-Besides, I… So, hearing the news of winning the case from me in the past also bothers me.

To see the ending of the opportunity that made you do that.

It’s not cool, it’s empty.

‘There is a high probability that that was the reason Ryu’s driving force disappeared.’

So, after discussing with Bae Se-jin, Park Moon-dae confirmed the plan for the future direction.

aka ‘pattern change’.

first.

-As an idol member, it breaks the typical role pattern of a group leader.

And this was important.

-However, the sense of efficacy that comes from work makes it possible to feel it.

‘And this guy has already set foot on that route.’

Park Moon-dae recalled it once again and looked at Ryu Cheong-wu.

Just then, the boy opened his mouth.

and.

A gold crown would be better.

started to comment.

‘yes.’

Park Mun-dae laughed inwardly, but continued without showing it.

Is that so… . yes. Rabin says he will continue tomorrow morning, so I’ll check it out.

um yeah

In this way, Ryu Chung-woo began to participate in the completion of the stage step by step, like water getting wet in a drizzle.

Yes.

Park Moon-dae was thinking of making the real Ryu Chung-woo the executive producer.
