Line up on the charts
It referred to when the tracks of an influential singer's coh the charts There were even cases where boy groups with huge fandos had their tracks fill the top ranks for the charts

”Pardon?”
”The car”
CEO Baek Hansung said lightly Like he was giving out a piece of rice cake
Coughs erupted fro rice cake, but I didn't want it since it would be a headache to digest It felt like I was taking out an extravagant loan
While I rejected his offer by saying that I loved and would continue to love thenow, the Rolls Royce arrived at our destination
”I will lead you to the reserved room”
We followed a Korean restaurant ee Fancy carps the size of rew above it, coarden was a traditional Korean tiled rooftop
It was so extravagant that it could be called a palace than a restaurant I had gone to o to if I had to pay out of my own pocket, due to work, but the view here was the best It was a bit of a waste to use it only as a restaurant
”What are you thinking about tothat we could sponsor this place for a historical fil chuckled in a low voice
”There'll be many opportunities for you to coulars”
He said whilst gesturing with his chin Other guests were co out the other side
They were older men Most of their faces were familiar
”Do you know any of the faces there?”
”I recognize most of them”
Since I had seen them in interview articles
The CEO of World B Pictures Korea, a movie production and distribution coe entertainment, SoNaMoo Besides thee and snized CEO Baek Hansung as their pace quickened as they approached us
”I thought I wasthese dog days?”
”It seems you've already eaten and are on your way out”

As soon as I greeted theazes landed on me
”Of course, we know you You are faement industry”
”I hear it's because of you that W&U's ireat these days”
”Th-that Neptune! People are talking about how great their songs are Congratulations”
It see their bodies as their reactions were a bit exaggerated
Ithem They say that you improve the more you do it I see as it was easier to talk to people
”It would be great if I had sohts of , contactOur co so if you join now, you'll be one of our early employees Our eh I didn't kno great their benefits were, reading the mood, I didn't think they were
Everyone's expressions becae, as talking to the World B Pictures Korea CEOCEO Baek Hansung's gaze h Like he had heard a light joke
Soon, people treated the remark as a joke
”You need to make dibs based on the person!”
”Can you even make dibs on CEO Baek's person? Especially a junior he personally brought here to nourish his health?”
While it was said in a jokingbehind those jokes
We separated after saying our farewells Behind us, the new ement company CEO's voice was carried by the wind
”Can't I make a joke?”
”You need to watch the yeob…”
The Team 2 Leader?
I tried to listen in on therew distant
”You worked hardNeptune's official albu co{1}
”The girls, the Team 3 Leader, and Chief Kim Hyunjo worked harder than me As well as other employees”
It was all Lee Taehee's work that the title track ended up so good It was the Tea that Lee Taehee's songs were great when I was uncertain of their success The album was only complete with the collective hard work of the e the A&R producer and PR Tea nodded as he said,
”I was thinking about talking to the PR Tea up a personal interview for you What do you think?”
”A personal interview?”
”You talk about Neptune's album on behalf of the co how you've written a success story with no failures have even reached my ears There are a lot of reporters who bluntly ask about you”
He said as though he was enjoying himself
I saw a feell Reporters ere more interested in my first project as a team leader and which actors would join it over Neptune's new songs It see exaggerated
”It'll get messy once reporters publish assumptions on what project you'll pick Wouldn't it be better for you to do an interview before then? But you'll have to first decide on what your next project will be”
His leisurely voice pushedserious It'll…”
”City Jungle?”
My chopsticks slipped from the plate
”I told you there are no secrets in this industry”
CEO Baek Hansung lightly shrugged his shoulders
”You should forget about the project and look for a new one”
”Pardon?”
”You've read a lot of scenarios There will probably be soled out Discuss with the other chiefs and pick out around five projects If you bring the, we should be able to pick one out, don't you think?”
Wait
”When you say forget about City Jungle…”
”Exactly as I said I don't think it is suitable for your next project”
He said firanize in my head Yeah, I knew that there were ht it up It looked shabby co works
I would have to persuade them eventually
I put down my chopsticks and wet h it isn't an eye-catching project, the scenario is good”
”Yeah, I read it”
He read it?
”I was curious because it was so you were interested in”
”Then… Did you not like the scenario? Although it doesn'tproject within its genre Its production may seem uncertain, but once the cast is decided, there will be investors lining up, so there will be no concern it will be killed off due to a lack of investments”
It would proceed even shest potential for success ast all the scenarios I have considered as ht that I couldn't lose Cat Guardian Ghost when I read it, and I get the sa to persuade hi face He occasionally tapped the table with his fingertips as though he was reacting to ood while, he nodded his head
”The scenario wasn't bad Like you said, it isn't what's trending these days, but noir works are rare in the country and it'll be good to widen our actors' spectru the risk if the actor is willing”
CEO Baek Hansung continued to speak positively about it He see to allow it, so his next words were
”Still, look for another project”
His voice and expression were still gentle, but his voice was firment hit rock bottom because of rumors that I had a panic disorder? Or was he unhappy that I rejected Telepath, which he had personallywith a confusedtried to comfort le, then hand it over to another team's chief”
”… Another team? Why do I have to do that?”
I couldn't understand it at all
Why was it not okay if I wanted to do it, but okay for some other chief?
”You're in a situation where you should be stopping at nothing to find a project that will be a success I'h risk”
”What…”
He s, you cannot fail”
