Chapter 406:
On the next page, there was a sheet music for the song that would be included in the single album, but it was marked as pre-arranged. It seemed like they put it in knowing that Seo-jun could read music.
“Do you want me to play the song file for you?”
“Yes.”
Seo-jun nodded at Ahn Da Ho's words.
He could read the sheet music right away with the piano and violin sounds he had learned so far, and he had no problem figuring out what kind of song it was, but it was better to listen to the original song that used more diverse instruments.
As Ahn Da Ho tapped on his phone screen, the car was filled with the melody of the next album song by Blue Moon. Seo-jun's head and fingers moved along with the beat.
“It's good. Right, Da Ho hyung?”
“Yeah. The second team also liked it a lot.”
He had lunch with the Blue Moon members a few days ago, and there was no such talk then, so it seemed like they prepared it in the meantime.
‘Blue Moon was the first team.’
Seo-jun recalled the manager of the first team of singers, who used to give him snacks and chocolates whenever he visited Cocoa Entertainment and played with Brown Black when he was a kid.
He could have just proposed directly because of his friendship with Seo-jun, but he sent the proposal to the second team to make it easier to refuse.
Seo-jun smiled slightly at the first team leader and turned to the back page.
He widened his eyes when he saw the name of the composer written on the front part of the back page.
“Da Ho hyung. This is Ye-jun hyung's song?”
“That's what I heard. He must have made it a long time ago and left it on the company computer. Somehow Blue Moon and the first team heard it and liked it, so they unanimously decided to go with it. It's an old song, so Ye-jun is arranging it now.”
“Oh. I see.”
He was more interested because it was Ye-jun hyung's song.
Seo-jun read the proposal with shining eyes. Below that, there were directions for arranging, a brief summary of the lyrics, and the atmosphere and concept of the song.
“It's nice.”
“It's perfect for a rookie.”
They say that a dog can recite poetry after three years at a temple, but even though he was an actor and a manager who were a bit distant from the idol world, he could grasp the general situation after being in a company that had made three idol groups successful for about 10 years.
The song ‘37’ continued to flow from the car speakers, and Seo-jun turned to the next page.
This seemed to be the main point, as there were carefully written texts everywhere.
It was an explanation of the concept of the music video and a simple storyboard.
There were characters in square boxes.
The character that was colored alone was the role that Seo-jun would play.
“The storyboard is not finalized yet, but it won't change much.”
“There are a lot of things that are not decided yet.”
Ahn Da Ho laughed at Seo-jun's playful words.
“It's because the song hasn't come out yet.”
He turned over the explanation of the music video and found the production schedule for the single album and the music video shooting.
“It's really short.”
The shooting time was so short that it couldn't be compared to movies or dramas.
That was what caught his eye first.
Ahn Da Ho smiled and said at Seo-jun's surprise.
“It's mostly on set, so there's no need to move around, and it's less than four minutes long. They usually shoot it in a day or two.”
“Oh. I see.”
[Flowing Away] was released without any problems and was still doing well at the box office. He received various offers, but as always, seo-jun had no other schedules except for simple interviews.
Besides, the music video shooting was in mid-August.
It was still a month and a half left from now, which was late June, and there was plenty of time during summer vacation.
‘I have time to look for scripts…’
The college practical exam was a free acting within three minutes, so it wouldn't take long to practice, and he had to recruit team members from among Minye High School students for graduation performance, so he had to start moving in earnest from September when second semester started.
‘Even if I adapt…’
He had experience with [Mirror], so it didn't seem like it would take long.
‘…Haha.’
Seo-jun laughed as he thought about this and that.
He realized that his mind had leaned to one side without him knowing.
‘I thought I had a busy schedule at the practice room… but I didn't expect to have so much time.’
He laughed at his subconscious trying to make time for some reason by making various excuses for shooting the music video.
‘Well, whatever.’
So Seo-jun decided to follow his subconscious. He felt relieved when he made up his mind. Seo-jun, with a bright expression, turned to the front page again and read the sheet music.
The song ‘37’ was still playing in the meantime. Seo-jun tapped his fingers to the beat.
He wondered how they would sing when he saw the members’ parts marked on the sheet music. He wondered how the song and the video would look like together.
‘Well. Except for Over the Rainbow, I never paid attention to background music.’
Music was inserted during editing after all the shooting was done, so there was no reason for actors to care or give opinions about it, and [Over the Rainbow], which was music-oriented, was a bit different from music video shooting.
“Hmm.”
Ahn Da Ho snickered at the humming he heard.
He smiled and said as he looked at Seo-jun who was looking at the proposal with interest.
‘I added one more schedule. But how is he going to practice for the music video?’
If it was a drama format with actors, he would have practiced acting as usual, but this time Blue Moon's music video shooting was different, and Ahn Da Ho had no idea.
But he wasn't worried. He knew Seo-jun would do well.
As Seo-jun read the proposal with interest and Ahn Da Ho thought about what to do next, the car arrived at the apartment parking lot.
“Da Ho hyung. I really want to do this!”
As expected.
The manager laughed at the actor who said that as soon as he arrived.
***
The next day.
After school, seo-jun came to Cocoa Entertainment with Ahn Da Ho and headed to the first team of singers’ office.
“Hello!”
The first team leader and staff who were in the office widened their eyes at Seo-jun's appearance. Seo-jun also widened his eyes as he faced them.
“Oh, are you all okay?”
They all looked very tired, with dark circles under their eyes.
There were also traces of their efforts to stay awake on their desks.
It was very different from the second team staff's desks.
‘Is the singer team very busy?’
Well.
The second team only took care of Seo-jun alone, but the first team had to take care of four Brown Black members and five Blue Moon members, a total of nine people, so they might be busier.
‘Then they should hire more people.’
He thought he should tell his uncle about it and heard the first team leader's voice in his ear.
“Oh, oh? It's okay. It's okay. Seo-jun, what brings you here?”
There was a hint of expectation in his voice as he asked that.
It didn't seem like he would refuse since he came in person. Besides, seo-jun and Ahn Da Ho looked happy.
Seo-jun felt the sparkling eyes of the first team leader and staff on him, but he was relaxed as he opened his mouth.
“It's about the music video. I really want to do it.”
Seo-jun smiled brightly and bowed.
“Please cooperate with us during the filming.”
Wow!
The office of the singer team 1 was filled with joy. Seo-jun, who felt happy along with the cheerful staff, smiled and said.
“I’ll go and tell Blue Moon.”
“Okay. We’ll be in the practice room.”
Seo-jun headed to the practice room with light steps. He thought Blue Moon would be happy to hear this too.
Ahn Da Ho, who was watching Seo-jun walk towards the elevator, quickly took out a contract from the file he brought and handed it to the team leader.
“Team leader. Should we sign the contract now?”
“Ahn Da Ho.”
“Yes?”
“Can't we get a discount from the same agency?”
The team leader, who was worried about the superstar's appearance fee now that they had to sign the contract, asked Ahn Da Ho, who smiled brightly.
***
“Wow! You're really doing it?”
Park Ee-deun's eyes widened.
The other members were the same.
They were all wiping their sweat with towels, as if they had been moving vigorously until a moment ago.
Seo-jun nodded with a smile.
“Yes. It's my first time filming a music video, so please help me out. Please help me out, hyungs.”
“Ugh. It feels so weird to hear that from Seo-jun!”
Kim Si-hoon shivered exaggeratedly, making everyone laugh.
“Shall we have a party? Do you want some snacks?”
Baek Yi-hyun, who was excited, appeared from somewhere with a pile of snacks.
Not only Blue Moon members, but also Seo-jun took their seats on the practice room floor as if they were used to it.
They tore open the snack bags and placed them side by side.
They also brought some drinks and sat around in a circle.
“I suddenly remember what our teacher said.”
Choi Jae-won looked around the members and said with a smile.
“What did he say?”
“He said he didn't know if Blue Moon had five or six members.”
At Choi Jae-won's words, seo-jun and the kids, who were looking at each other closely, burst into laughter.
“We used to hang out like this often. Since we were trainees.”
“We were so surprised to see Seo-jun back then.”
They started to share their stories from the time when they were trainees who were startled by just seeing Seo-jun's back from afar.
“Who would have thought that we would be filming Seo-jun's music video, which even Red Crown nuna couldn't do!”
“But Seo-jun. Why did you agree to do it?”
Seo-jun answered Choi Jae-won's question while eating a snack.
“I was curious about filming a music video and I thought the content of this music video was a bit unusual, so I wanted to try acting too.”
“As expected.”
“?”
As if they knew it, blue Moon nodded their heads. Seo-jun tilted his head.
“I wondered what kind of content it would be at first, but team leader 1 said he wanted something that suited the music and also interested you.”
“I really thought about it for days and nights. The team 1 people must have struggled a lot too.”
“My manager hyung stayed up all night.”
“They combined all the opinions and then subtracted some, and then added some new ones and subtracted some again. That's how they came up with that.”
“I don't think anything better will come out even if we squeeze it more.”
Seo-jun exclaimed as he saw Blue Moon's members looking resigned.
“So that's why you looked so tired. I thought you had a lot of work to do.”
“There wouldn't be much work except for our single album. BrBl seniors are also on break.”
Seo-jun nodded at Choi Jae-won's words.
“I was going to tell my uncle to hire more staff… but I guess he doesn't need to.”
“…as the nephew of the president said.”
Everyone burst into laughter at Jung Eun-sung's words. Kim Si-hoon and Park Ee-deun laughed so hard that tears welled up in their eyes.
“I was so surprised when I first heard that. It was April Fool's Day, so I thought it was a lie!”
“I was shocked because Seo-jun and the president don't look alike at all.”
It was hard to believe that Seo Eun-chan, who had a wicked face, and Seo-jun, who had a shining beauty, were relatives.
“My uncle looks like my grandfather. My mom looks like my grandmother.”
“Really? They say I'm a spitting image of my dad.”
The other members also talked and laughed about who they resembled.
The topic of conversation soon shifted to the music video.
“This part is what I came up with.”
Jung Eun-sung pointed to a part of the storyboard and said.
Choi Jae-won and Baek Yi-hyun's ideas were also on the storyboard, but Kim Si-hoon and Park Ee-deun's opinions seemed to be missing.
Seo-jun asked a question that he had been thinking about since he saw the storyboard yesterday.
“When are we going to practice the dance for this song?”
“We have to start practicing as soon as the song comes out.”
“They said they would make it based on the 37th version and then modify the details when the song comes out. I wonder when it will be released.”
Kim Si-hoon, the main dancer, moved his shoulders nervously as if he was restless.
“Can I practice too?”
“…Huh?”
Seo-jun's words made Baek Yi-hyun stop his hand that was grabbing a snack.
“…What do you mean by practice?”
The other Blue Moon members also tilted their heads in confusion.
“This part. Wouldn't it be natural and fun if I did it?”
Seo-jun smiled mischievously and pointed to a part of the music video storyboard. The Blue Moon members, who were following Seo-jun's finger, opened their mouths wide.
“The dance part?!”
