God of Music

Kang Yun, who was left alone in the meeting room, held his forehead for a moment and sighed briefly.

‘That's what I expected. ’

I had already anticipated that I wouldn't be able to look at the sudden rolling stone.

I would have focused on slowly gaining trust and bringing the team together, but I couldn't afford it now.

‘I'll have to run first. ’

Kang Yoon headed to the practice room where Carrie Claudia was practicing with dancers.

[Kang Yoon!!]

After stretching, she was just about to go into practice, and saw Kang Yun and waved gladly.

[Sorry to interrupt, Carrie.]

[No, what happened?]

[I have something urgent to tell you. Do you have a minute?]

Carrie Claudia sought understanding from the dancers and headed to the corner of Kang Yun and the practice room.

She was already flashing her eyes because she had a lot of expectations for Kang Yun.

[How did it go with our bosses? Everyone's okay, right?]

Kang Yun smiled and nodded.

[Yes, they all seemed like brilliant people. I was excited to see what would happen if I clapped my hands and feet.]

[I knew it.]

Although he squeaked at the first meeting, Kang Yoon did not talk back to the team leaders.

Carrie was pleased with Kang Yun's words and grabbed his arm lightly.

[So what did you decide to do? Our team leaders must have been so eager to talk...]

Kang Yun stopped laughing and calmly brought the matter up.

[Carrie, is this a concert version?]

[Yes, that's right. Problem?]

[I think it would be better to organize.]

Carrie Claudia's expression twists strangely.

Arrangement?]

[The stage that you showed at the concert and the stage that you showed at Jamis cannot be the same. I think the arrangement is...]

[No.]

She shakes her head vigorously before finishing Kang Yun's words.

[Carrie.]

[If you need to reduce the intro a bit, you can adjust the devices. You don't have to organize. We're running out of time...]

[Clearly, time is of the essence. You can still fit it properly. Carrie, so...]

[Do it without rhythm.]

She was stubborn.

Kang Yoon was embarrassed by the unexpected reaction. But he convinced her once again.

[Carrie, hearing is as important as sight. You might hear that they want to hit the stage with money.]

[Kang Yoon, there is no arrangement.]

Kang Yun logically stated the need for arrangement, but she strongly confronted the need for arrangement.

I felt that it was time for Kang Yun to take a step back, knowing that celebrity stubbornness is not easy to convince.

[Okay, I'll talk to you later. Please think carefully and tell us.]

Kang Yoon left the practice room.

I was about to go up to the office, and the door reopened and a tall, hairless dancer caught hold of Kang Yun.

[Hey, Master.]

He introduced himself as the lead dancer and told Kang Yoon the matter with a serious face.

[Carrie herself orchestrated the concert version of 'Take Good Care'. They're not going to let us organize that easily.]

Carrie orchestrated?]

[Yes, Carrie loves her curved version of 'Take Good Care’. Hearing that, Carrie wanted to show this version to more people.]

Kang Yoon thanked me for telling the story, then turned to the male dancer.

Kang Yoon, who entered the office provided by Carrie Claudia's company, sat on a chair and wrapped his arms around his forehead.

‘Obviously, we need an arrangement. There's no way Jamie's stage and concert are the same. ’

In a way, it might be a minor difference.

But that's the difference between first and second.

No matter how stubborn the singer was, there was something he would listen to and not listen to.

‘Let's go back. ’

Kang Yoon headed back to Carrie Claudia's practice room.

[One, two, one, two. Jade, a little bit more.]

Carrie Claudia was practicing among dancers, sweating her marbles.

[Carrie.]

[Kang Yoon.]

She looks awkward because of the story just now.

[Do you have a minute?]

Carrie seems reluctant, but seeks forgiveness from the dancers and follows Kang Yun.

Kang Yoon led Carrie Claudia to the rooftop with no one on it.

[No matter how much you think about it, you need to organize.]

[Kang Yoon.]

Kang Yoon insisted that her expression was distorted at times.

His razor-like eyes were ready to cut through the steel, but he spoke nonchalantly.

[No matter what you think of the details...]

[I definitely said no.]

[Carrie. Phew.]

Kang Yoon sighed briefly.

I felt like I needed a shock.

So he messed with her pride.

[Carrie, I heard that this is your orchestra.]

[... yes. Does that matter?]

[Concert version ‘Take Good Care’ is good. It was a good response, but I wonder if this version would be a good fit for the relatively short James stage. If you're going to stand on this version of Jamis, you're obviously going to have to make a difference in quality to the other singers. You know, there's a small difference between first and second.]

[... you.]

[Arrangement, will do.]

Carry Claudia trembles, shaking steadily at the sight of Kang Yun.

I have never seen a planner so resourceful.

[Ha. I regret it. Why I brought you here...]

Severe words came from her, but Kang Yun received her words calmly.

[Bringing me to the best stage. Isn't it?]

[.....]

She remembered what happened in Korea when she burst into laughter for Kang Yun's honesty.

"I didn't expect this..."

Wouldn't she know it's better to organize?

But none of the team members said anything like that.

It was because she, the center, hated to be organized.

‘... ugh. ’

Carrie Claudia closes her eyes.

There was no argument against Kang Yoon's words.

He pushed her without cause and forced her to choose.

[... Okay. Arrange, do.]

A cool breeze rises from the rooftop, cooling her head as if she had made a difficult decision.

[Yes, sir.]

[Instead...]

[I will do my best.]

Kang Yoon nodded forcefully and went down to the roof first.

Cary Claudia grunts, looking behind him.

[I hate to say it, but I'm trustworthy. Chet.]

The wind is cooling, comforting her.

.

.

.

[Mason, can the new master convince Carrie?]

Studio on the third floor.

There were black women and white men talking in front of the mixer.

[Aigoo, that's ridiculous. How are you gonna convince Carrie that we didn't do it? Good thing I didn't get kicked out.]

[As expected?! The team leaders even made a $10 bet... Ugh.]

[This, the dance team is still on. Where did you put it?]

Black women blurted at the words of a white man named Mason.

["Arrange" page.]

[No, why?]

[None of the chiefs put money on "don't do it." It's one life after another, right?]

[Where did you learn to say that?]

As the two men and women were talking, the studio door opened and they walked in.

Mason sits relaxed, surprised, and then jumps into a chair.

[Carrie.]

[Mason, there you are.]

[It's always me. What are you doing here? You don't need a song, you don't need a tune, you don't have a james stage...]

A black woman opens her eyes and waits for Carrie Claudia's next words.

[That can't be true. Arrange for me.]

While the black woman cautiously walked out with astonished eyes, Kang Yoon stood in front of Carrie Claudia.

[You need to make arrangements for the Jamie Awards stage. We're running out of time, so please do it as soon as possible.]

[Are you the master of this stage?]

[Yes, this is Lee Kang-yoon.]

Kang Yoon shook his hand and began to talk about the arrangement in earnest.

Mason quickly got to the point with the name of the best organizer in the company.

Carrie Claudia leaves the studio with nothing but a thick look on her face.

[Draw with fire? This design looks like Carrie's going down. But is it possible to install it in Jamis?]

Mason was deeply immersed in Kang Yun talking about stage design.

[It's possible, but I couldn't show you the detailed stage design...]

[That's okay. That's enough of an image for a curver. Flame painting.]

Whether the image was firmly embedded, he continued to recall Kang Yun's words.

After talking about the arrangement, Kang Yoon went back to his office and did his job.

The next day.

[Did you hear? I heard you changed the Take Good Care version.]

[The new master, I thought he was soft, but he's really strong.]

I heard Carrie was persuaded by the new master.]

Rumors have spread that the version of this song has changed from the dance team to the band and equipment team.

Everyone knew the arrangement was necessary, but no one could tell her...

The new master, who thought it was a parachute, took the king by storm.

Meanwhile, in the afternoon, Kang Yun gathered for a meeting after receiving a new version of the song from Mason.

[You're all here.]

Unlike the atmosphere of the previous day's rays, today was strangely stable.

Luke, the head of the dance team, looked at Kang Yun favorably.

[I heard the song version has changed.]

[Yes, I'm sorry, but the dance team is a little difficult. The stage was a little different, so I thought I'd fix the choreography...]

[It's okay.]

Before Kang Yun finished speaking, Luke smiled and replied.

[We are choreographed and matched. It's about making a better stage.]

[If you think so, thank you.]

[Hahaha. Leave it to me. We're all thinking the same thing. Right?]

The other dance leaders nodded, smiling as confidently as Luke did.

Unlike yesterday, the stage designer, Kellin, said in a soft tone.

[I'll compare the equipment that Jamis sponsors with the equipment that we can install today.]

[Yes.]

Before Kang Yoon gave the order, everyone was moving on their own.

As energetic as Carrie Claudia, her team is strong.

Before playing the new song, Kang Yun showed everyone the data about the stage device he had in mind.

Make Carrie look like a flame on the T-shaped stage.

At Jamis, everyone was appalled at the fancy device that did not come to the private concert, of course.

[Hey, Master. Is this possible?]

Leo, the team leader who oversees the special equipment, asked with a worried expression.

However, Kang Yun was confident.

‘There are companies available. ’

Before returning, Kang Yoon recalled a special piece of equipment called the 'Fire Sketch’ that was first shown in the Super Bowl.

His memorable year ranged from 2017 to 2018.

One of the last pieces of equipment that was not imported into Korea through a U.S. special equipment company was this equipment.

[Yes, you can contact us here.]

Leo glows with the presence of a new device.

I thought I knew all the special equipment, but I can't believe you have new equipment...

When everyone was surprised, Kang Yoon applauded and gathered everyone's gaze.

[Let's listen to the song and continue the story.]

Unlike before, the team leaders focused on meeting with strong eyes.

------------------------------

VTNM Radio Music Hall was busy setting up a stage for the Jamie Awards.

The host was distracted by the demands of numerous singers, including the cranes that were taking the stage into the air.

One week before the james award.

Teresh, the organizer's stagehand, had his head wrapped in a problem with the stage device he was setting up.

[The fire draws on the floor, it rises? Is there a safety issue?]

The james awards stage is very close to the fans.

And you paint with fire? Is there really nothing wrong with safety?

Kang Yoon answered calmly, holding the stage design.

[If you don't get within a meter, you won't get hurt. Before installing it, I've tested it many times, I've already cleared it...]

[That's not the point. The problem is the slightest risk of an accident.]

Teresh's face was serious.

There were so many special equipment using fire on the stage.

It was not a concert, and he was wondering if he could allow the use of this uncertain equipment, even in the next week.

Kang Yoon took out the documents and showed him the video by playing it on his phone.

Before coming here, it was a test video taken with a special equipment company.

[There's a spark like that...]

[Look at the temperature.]

The video was a film measuring temperatures at 50 cm, 1 meter, 2 and 3 meters away from the worker's flames.

Two metres and three metres of normal LA temperatures of 18 degrees, slightly higher at one metre and as dangerous at 50 centimeters.

Teresh hesitated to look at the experiment footage.

[... I didn't expect to see the experimental footage because of the equipment.]

[I want you to know that you need this device.]

Teresh remains strong as this Asian man, who is the lead performer of Carrie Claudia.

The singer seemed to be able to concentrate on the performance without worrying if he had this enthusiasm.

[... So, there's no safety issue after all?] [Yes. There's no risk of getting hurt unless the audience gets on stage and into the fire.]

[Yes, sir.]

Teresh calls the representative with the face of defeat.

He asked you to authorize the installation of the fire sketch equipment.

[Thank you.]

[You're welcome. I'll see you later.]

So the equipment was installed at the end of the Cretaceous Passage.

4 days ago.

The installation of the Jamie Awards stage is complete.

Scared of the end of the stage, the singers entered the rehearsal on schedule.

Carrie Claudia was in rehearsal two days ago.

[Sam!! What do you think?!]

[Two teams are too busy!!]

With over 50 people onstage, it was not easy to achieve satisfactory results all at once.

Kang Yoon stood next to the lighting director and looked down at the whole stage.

‘Do you feel like Carrie's being hidden? Even the three teams are small. ’

Kang Yoon told the lighting director to adjust the lights and instructed the three teams to spread on the radio.

Even though it was rehearsal, the stage was like a battlefield.

I was able to enter the rehearsal after aligning the line at the end of the verse.

- When you feel so alone?

Carrie Claudia's low voice spreads across the stage.

- When you find your heart?

As her bass adds volume, the flames move from the floor of the stage and begin to form a human figure.

♪ Take good care of my heart ♪

When the flame in the shape of a human, or Carrie Claudia, was completed, the stage slowly came up and Carrie Claudia appeared on the stage.

At the same time, a flame rises, and a figure is created between her flames.

- Carrie, are you okay?

Maybe it's hot.

Kang Yoon radioed.

And then...

- O-----K--------------------------------!!

As the melody's OK sign dropped, both staff and team members burst into laughter.

Soon, the flames subsided and dozens of lights hung from the ceiling focused on her.

Together with him, the psychic lights burst out in splendor, revealing 50 unseen dancers.

- I've waited for-- your love--

While Carrie Claudia's voice was refreshing to hear, Kang Yun finally wiped the sweat off his forehead with relief.

‘Phew. I don't have to worry about the stage. ’

With a preparatory team cheering for the stage, Kang Yoon sighed for relief.
