There’s no way he’d come to the airport himself, right?
2022.09.30.
Yeon-woo just shrugged.
A kitten was fiercely throwing its tiny paws around, but it tickled more than hurt.
‘I’m benefiting from YouTube in many ways. Should I offer a prayer of thanks?’
Experiments targeting contaminated water.
Perhaps they chose inanimate objects to control for various factors that might arise with people or animals.
‘Thanks to that, I learned something good.’
The tremendous effect that the child spirit is worried about probably only applies to the dead.
Anyway, since spiritual power is mixed in, it should have an absolute effect on that side.
But Yeon-woo’s target was only living people.
‘It only applies to living people, and one more thing.’
If the listening subject is favorable to music.
And if they have desires that align with the image Yeon-woo has overlaid.
The effect is doubled.
‘I’m already looking forward to it?’
What kind of reaction will occur when the full track is officially released?
Even a short 25-second snippet is causing this kind of reaction.
That’s because he poured all his abilities into it, determined to make it a success.
Well, it can’t be scientifically proven, so I probably won’t be kidnapped and dissected……
‘At least I definitely won’t fail.’
It was an unexpected variable, but it didn’t matter.
The moment to perfectly complete the mission was fast approaching.
*
The new song, a collaboration between Yeon-woo and Trevi, is highly anticipated by many.
The release date is now just around the corner.
Meanwhile.
Yeon-woo met a middle-aged man with a stylish, grizzled mustache.
It was to sign a contract for a song he had personally written and composed.
“Oh… So… Mr. Kang here did all the work…?”
Strictly speaking, Yeon-woo didn’t do everything from start to finish.
‘It’s strange. I’m definitely a modern person, but why am I so unfamiliar with modern things?’
Even the familiar equipment in the Korean studio was difficult for him to handle.
Instead of Yeon-woo, who couldn’t get used to it no matter how hard he tried, the skilled Trevi took charge of all the processes except mixing.
“It’s a collaboration between Yeon-woo and me.”
Trevi said that as if it were natural, and he personally took care of all the processes, including recording.
He’s a world-renowned musician, so I wondered if it was okay to do that, but,
“It’s ‘our’ music…? Made by Yeon-woo and me…? You were going to entrust such music… to someone else…?”
I don’t know why, but I felt like I was doing something very bad, so I immediately withdrew my words.
‘Why is Trevi so shocked?’
Is it really necessary to do the engineer’s work himself?
But Trevi was adamant.
“We put so much effort into making this music… How can you entrust it to someone else…? How can you say such cruel words to entrust this child, whom Yeon-woo and I have so beautifully crafted, to someone else…!”
“…?”
Just listening to the words, it sounds like he’s forcibly taking away a precious child from its parents.
Of course, that can’t be the case.
Maybe it’s just my imagination that something doesn’t feel out of place even if I replace the music with a child?
“……”
Anyway, Trevi isn’t normal either.
Well.
If he were normal, he wouldn’t have turned his back on world opinion by obsessing over an actor from a faraway foreign country who doesn’t even speak his language in the first place.
[He’s the real deal. So, Yeon-woo, you should give up……. Awoo…… Does he really have drugs on his fingers……. Why is it so good……]
Anyway, Trevi was a person who was really sincere in many ways, to the point where the child spirit openly acknowledged it.
Thanks to that, Yeon-woo was able to focus entirely on composing.
‘Something’s strange. Is this what collaboration feels like?’
Aren’t we supposed to be making music together?
To Yeon-woo’s question, Trevi answered very coolly.
“There are so many kinds of collaborations in the world. There are also things like this.”
“…Is that so?”
“Of course.”
“Really?”
“Absolutely.”
I feel like he’s avoiding my gaze, which is very suspicious.
[Truth]
For now, it’s been judged as the truth, so I have no choice but to accept it.
‘Well. His music career is incomparably longer than mine, so what.’
Composing blossomed with the help of the ability, but.
In fact, Yeon-woo is ignorant in many ways in this field.
It seems that he has finally become capable of doing his part as an actor.
Naturally, there was significantly less time to delve deeply into music.
Anyway, therefore.
‘I didn’t make the song alone.’
To tell the truth, Trevi was definitely working together.
But.
“Yes.”
Yeon-woo brazenly looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and replied nonchalantly.
“This… really. It’s amazing news. I wish I had known in advance……”
Yeon-woo smiled gently and watched the other person take out a handkerchief and wipe away the cold sweat.
‘Who would benefit from telling you in advance?’
That’s right.
This situation is a mini-cider drama [a satisfying revenge story] co-planned by Trevi and Yeon-woo, directed and starred by Yeon-woo, and assisted by Trevi.
Shall we call it ‘There’s no way he’d come to the airport himself, right?’
“Yeon-woo. The president seems very anxious.”
“?”
“I hinted that this contract would be a little different.”
A label that has maintained a business relationship for a long time.
Trevi is outstanding even among countless stars.
Naturally, the conditions presented to Trevi are nothing short of the best treatment in the industry.
Revenue share ratio contracted with the label, various benefits and treatments, etc.
All were top-notch.
It couldn’t be helped.
‘Otherwise, there’s no reason for Trevi to work together.’
Trevi was, in a way, an unprecedented existence like a one-person company.
From writing and composing to arranging, recording, mixing, and mastering.
He has the skills to do everything from start to finish without needing anyone else’s help.
He doesn’t even need to rent a recording studio or additional music equipment.
In short,
‘There’s no room for the company to intervene.’
The only fortunate thing for the company was.
Trevi didn’t care much about things after completing the song.
-Can’t I just upload it to YouTube or something? It’s a hassle……
That’s right.
Trevi is very interested in drawing his musical world.
He was a person who was very annoyed by other things.
-There are plenty of people who listen to my songs on YouTube and Instagram. Why bother?
The one who worked hard to persuade Trevi was the current chairman of the label, the former president.
The current president also had a good ear, but the current chairman showed a much better ear and ability to discover talent than the current president.
Thanks to that, the originally famous label was able to develop into a much larger world’s top 3 label.
-Always the best. He’s already a great person who doesn’t need anything, so just make it the best. So that he doesn’t feel lacking or disappointed.
This is the severalth renewal of the contract with Trevi.
The reason why he was able to successfully secure the contract despite the numerous other labels sending Trevi persistent love calls was because of the chairman’s instructions.
‘I must catch Trevi this time!’
The president thought so.
It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t release anything for a year or two.
It doesn’t matter if he rests even more than that!
It’s okay even if it takes 3 years or 5 years.
He won’t quit music for the rest of his life.
If the renewal is successfully completed, waiting is nothing.
But……
‘Something went wrong……!’
The world was not so easy.
Suddenly, he flew to Korea and launched a private jet.
I thought he was finally starting to work again because he was holed up in the studio.
But he began to pay attention to some unheard-of oriental actor as if he was trying to become a reviewer.
‘What should I do? Should I leave it alone? Or…?’
While hesitating.
The situation flowed strangely.
It was a great relief that Trevi started working again.
But there was a condition attached to it.
-We have maintained a good cooperative relationship with your company, but due to realistic problems, we are no longer able to work together, which is very regrettable……
The contact through the agent was literally shocking news.
In a word, it was like this.
‘There’s someone I want to work with now, and if you don’t like it, let’s not do it. While we’re at it, let’s not renew the contract either.’
To call it abuse of power, Trevi was a person who didn’t ask for anything.
That’s why I was more afraid.
‘This contract will be a little different. How is it different?’
The most fearsome enemy is not an armed robber.
It’s not an armed criminal either.
It is an unknown enemy that you cannot know anything about.
You need to know something to deal with it, but there is no solution because you don’t know anything.
‘Are you saying you’re breaking the contract with us?’
Was it a problem that I gave a word of concern because I was collaborating without consulting the company?!
But the president dared to say that this song was the best ever.
‘I can’t miss it……! I have no choice but to match Trevi as much as possible……!’
No matter how much he begged, he couldn’t hear more than the 25 seconds of audio that had already been released.
-Trevi, Trevi. Please think of our friendly past relationship and let me hear the rest? That way, I can plan how to promote it and which programs to cast in advance.
Around the time when the president’s head was about to explode due to overload.
“Say hello. This is Kang Yeon-woo, who made ‘Dream Walker’.”
A sudden bomb exploded.
In a completely unexpected direction.
The sacrifice of Operation ‘There’s no way he’d come to the airport himself, right?’ blinked in embarrassment.
*
“So… Mr. Kang really……”
“That’s right.”
Trevi drove another wedge.
The president closed his eyes tightly.
‘Who told you to ignore it?’
Yeon-woo’s smile deepened.
In inverse proportion to that, the president’s expression became more and more like that of a dead person.
“You seem very surprised. Do you perhaps think it’s a lie that I made that song?”
The tone was gentle to the end.
However, the content contained therein was far from gentle.
“No. No! I don’t think so at all!”
The president answered urgently.
“Then I don’t know why you find it so hard to believe. Could it be because I’m a foreign worker from the outskirts of a foreign country…?”
“No! That’s not true at all!”
“Do you think his choice is right now? Does it seem like a new challenge has succeeded?”
With those words, Yeon-woo smiled again.
The president’s face was bleached white again.
‘The words I said in the past must be flashing through my head right now.’
I have no regrets for that president, but on the other hand, I am very sorry.
What nonsense is this, it’s like this.
‘You should have done it well from the beginning.’
Well, I couldn’t help but understand the president’s position.
Anyway, business is originally so ruthless.
But understanding with the head is understanding, and emotions are another matter.
‘Would it have been better if you had defended me a little? You can’t even protect your artist properly.’
The SNS feed that seemed to support it but subtly criticized it.
The already agitated public opinion gained a little more strength from the president’s words and grew in size.
Yeon-woo’s crooked gaze was precisely because of that.
‘How dare you threaten my fans?’
