CH 192 (1/2)
1st year Max Level Manager chapter 192
Coming down is fun
Countless newcomers and new songs poured out in the music market where idols were swarming, even after just one night, and the competition to win the hearts of fans continued endlessly.
Because of that, even when he was on hiatus, he had to be careful not to lose interest from the fans.
In particular, in the case of Cherry Blossom, which has only a fan cafe and no official fan club, we had to be more careful.
If you end your activities as it is, you might lose your fans to the virtues of other idols.
So, I planned a 'thank you event' for the fans, but director Ki-cheol Lee, who suddenly intervened, was trying to ignite my plan.
When we went up to the 6th floor conference room, Director Ki-cheol Lee, Director Kang Ji-young, and the heads and team leaders of rooms 1 and 2 were all gathered together.
Min-seok Seong, the head of the PR team, and Seong-su, the leader of the choreography team, were also present at the meeting today.
Since I was the last participant, the meeting started as soon as I was seated.
Director Lee Ki-cheol asked with a recalled expression.
”How is our Cherry Blossom doing now?”
Director Kang Ji-young answered.
”Now, all the broadcast appearances and events have been arranged, and only the music room remains on the weekend.”
”Actually, we're going to end our promotions now, so it's right to organize them. Oh, and did I mention that the kids aren't feeling well? As soon as it's finished, send it to the hospital
Let me take care of you.”
”Anyway, I keep going to the clinic and managing my condition.”
Director Lee Ki-cheol spoke with a stern voice.
”Uh-huh. You should send it to the right place instead of that. Look for a university hospital level. It's the pillar of our company, but the hospitality is so poor!”
The reason why Director Lee Ki-cheol wanted to take care of Cherry Blossom was obvious.
This is because the situation of Golden Road, which has been the company's main source of revenue, is not favorable.
The Golden Road, which had lost its center of gravity as Deputy Director Eun Ji-yu disappeared, was acting uncontrollably as time went on.
for that reason,
After somehow improving the relationship with Cherry Blossom, he was aiming for an opportunity to advance into Japan.
It is certain that CEO Choi Man-sik used his hands implicitly.
Well, of course, General Manager Kang Ji-young and Director Lee Dong-min didn't even blink an eye.
Director Lee Ki-cheol speaks to Sung Min-seok, head of public relations team this time.
”Sung leader. How much did you set aside for publicity expenses this weekend?”
”We are thinking of up to 50 million won.”
”Uh-huh! can i have it up to 1 billion. The whole PR team met with the reporters and bought a big meal and fed them. And you know?”
Director Lee Ki-cheol blurted out the behind-the-scenes and ordered a separate entertainment.
But this time, Director Lee Dong-min raised the bar.
”Are you over there, sir?”
Why?
”Can't we just follow our plan? All preparations have been made, and the budget has already been put in.”
Director Lee Ki-cheol's face was distorted by repeated objections.
”Hey, this chief. No matter how temporary it is, don't you know that I am serving as the CEO?”
”Is that possible? I'm telling you because there is a better way.”
Director Lee Dong-min, who was once called the weakest manager, had a stronger voice than anyone else when Cherry Blossom went well.
”What the hell is everyone doing against? Let's hear it.”
Director Lee Dong-min tells me to look at me and speak.
”Do you want to see Team Leader Jeong instead?”
”Chief Jeong?”
Director Lee Ki-cheol's face is distorted.
Of course, one singer who attended the
It was the same with Cha Sang-jin's face.
After a nodded greeting, the PPT file was displayed on the LCD screen in the conference room.
”This is the stage for winning the first place for 10 weeks in a row. After all, journalists will write articles on their own without needing to spend money.”
”Hmmm. That's something you don't know.”
A voice mixed with dissatisfaction came out of Director Lee Ki-cheol's mouth.
But I neatly ignored it.
”I plan to decorate the finale with headbands, light sticks, other goods, and counter tributes such as lunch boxes for the fans who attend on the day of the music show.”
This time, director Cha Sang-jin of Singer Room 1 makes a tackle.
”Reporters, why do they counter tribute to the fans? downgrade.”
Director Cha Sang-jin looks at me with an expression that he doesn't know about that.
Director Cha Sang-jin only dealt with stars with star disease, so he didn't know how precious the fans were.
To him, his fans were nothing but ATM machines.
”If you do the reverse tribute, there will be an additional advertising effect thanks to the fans on Instagram. Among our fan club cafe members, there are several Instagram influencers with over 200,000 followers.”
I explained enough, but the calligraphy line family frowned.
This is understandable enough, but negative opinions continued to come out between Director Lee Ki-cheol and several team leaders of Seo Ye-jong.
It was then.
In the end, General Manager Kang Ji-young made a decision.
”I completely agree with the opinion of Team Leader Jeon Jeong. And if you're going to object, you should have told me in advance. What are you doing the day before?”
Director Lee Ki-cheol responded with a sharp voice.
”Chief! Are you crazy now? Are you just going to proceed with the youngest team leader's wishes?”
Yes. Because it was the youngest team leader who brought Cherry Blossom all the way here.
yo. This. So, isn't it the job of management to help you finish well?”
what? what?
Director Kang Ji-young looks at me.
”Chief Jeong. Go ahead. If not, you can use it by subtracting it from the budget I can afford.”
Director Lee Ki-cheol put pressure on him, but General Manager Kang Ji-young did not blink an eye.
Thanks to you, we talked for a long time, but nothing changed in my plan.
As Cherry Blossom gained popularity and Golden Road's popularity disappeared, Kang Ji-young's remarks were gaining more power.
After all, the popularity of the celebrities with this version soon becomes the manager's strength.
In the end, Director Lee Ki-cheol gasped and shut his mouth, and from then on, Director Lee Dong-min led the meeting.
But at the end of the meeting.
Team leader Han Myung-ho requested the right to speak.
Director Kang Ji-young nodded.
Now, team leader Han Myung-ho said to Seong Eun-soo, the choreographer.
”Sung leader. I need to use the practice room for a while to prepare for the Cherry Blossom farewell stage, can you empty the practice room?”
When choreographer Park Seon-nyeo was hired, choreography team leader Seong-su had a grudge and interrupted Cherry Blossom's practice.
For a while, Cherry Blossom practiced back and forth between an aerobics class and a small underground theater.
Myeong-ho Myung-ho is the team leader who wants to get revenge.
In an instant, the face of the choreography team leader Seongsu
tired of blue
”Hey, what time are you going to write it?”
”Oh, I don't know the time. For a while?”
Team leader Myung-ho Han frowned with a disgusting expression on his face.
Because of that, Seongsu's choreography team leader's face began to turn red.
However, team leader Myung-ho Han wasn't just taking revenge.
Having the right to use the first practice room, the largest in the company, was like a kind of power for the singer part.
This is because, in Hulleongso, idols who have debuted or children who are preparing to debut soon were practiced in practice room number 1, but the trainees who saw it used to judge their position according to what practice room they practiced in.
Whether it will be the debut group or whether you will have to endure as a trainee that you never know when you will debut.
The problem is that Seongsu, the choreography team leader, who knows the trainees' psychology better than anyone else, was playing pranks on young trainees.
If you listen carefully, you practice in practice room number 1, or practice in number 3 instead of number 2.
But it was no longer possible.
Team leader Seong-soo, who suddenly lost power, answered with a shaky face.
”Oh, starting today, practice room number 1 is I'll leave it blank.
At that moment, team leader Myung-ho Myung-ho started to laugh out loud.
Hahaha. I'm sorry, what do I do?
However, Team Leader Myung-Ho Han didn't seem apologetic at all.
