Smarter, Prologue, 19827;

Minho couldn't take her eyes off the duet video with Yoon Yi-sul on her phone.

“Nice shot. ”

It was a crude wobbly rectcam that shook the screen, but only Yoon Iseol's appearance was radiant. Thanks to you, I was able to stand out to myself who was obsessed with harmonica.

"Wow, you look like a real musician. ’

Minho, who was in a state of self-consciousness for a moment, thought about how the ball manager or Ahn So-hee would react and fixed the uplifted feeling. You can surround yourself with hobbies, but there are limits to what you can trust.

“This keeps getting more and more views. ”

“What are you doing? ”

Jung Min-ho's behavior of touching the screen to refresh was ridiculous and he snatched the phone.

After relaxing, Minho turned to Jung Minho. And I asked carefully.

“Producer? The one who reached out to Lee Seol while trying to produce a 'shining star’ this time? ”

“Watch your language!”

Minho could be sure of the sticky reaction.

Jung Kyung-min stared at Minho with a sunken look. Starting in the morning, after preparing the big band for Yoon Iseol glamorously and being rejected largely, I couldn't help but get angry as soon as I saw Kang Min-ho.

“Whether to take your hands off or not. Please state your intention. ”

“I don't know why you ask that. ”

“Are you involved with the ‘Twinkle Stars’ that followed by the album title? ”

Minho asked as if it was strange.

“I heard in relation to the contract with HY music that the rights to the music work are entirely in his hands. Didn't Ms. Grant promise you'd show her to the public as a singer-songwriter? ”

Min-ho guessed the situation, seeing the Jung Min-ho who was trembling with his lips and had no answer. Since the direction of production was not right, Yoon Yiseong must have not clearly organized the area.

‘You must have refused to go through the motions next time. ’

Minho said, "Cut it out."

“You're mistaken. I wasn't involved in any part of feeding you water. It was written by Lee Seol, so it's his job to take care of it. I think you should think about the directionality of this song at this point in time. ”

Experiencing Yun Yi Seol's songs and fantasies together at ONCE was more inspiring than listening to any music. If Yoon Lee Seul asked for help, Min Ho was always willing to help.

“You want me to fight better than the back of a peacock? ”

Jung Kyung-min, who had a fierce look on her face, let out a short sigh.

“Very well. I'll report back to my boss as I see fit. ”

“It's your business to see. Take care of it. ”

“The revenue sharing problem will be fixed at 20%, which is the average for our policy coordinators. ”

Minho nods softly, "Yes.”

“Revenue sharing?”

This time, Jung Kyung-min curiously looked at me.

“‘Once again’ single will be announced soon. Since Kang Min-ho's name is a composer, of course, the revenue distribution should continue. The contract has been formally placed in Minho's company. Now we should do the same with the sparkling star. If you have any other songs involved, please let us know in advance. No hassle.”

It was a no-brainer. Even though I told him to sell it on his own on the last call, did Yoon Iseol give HY Music his name? Not necessarily.

‘Ha, this is a good thing, Lee. ’

Minho filled his tongue with the thought that he would have been eaten by a hundred percent company if it weren't for the four-season brothers. I have to train him after the show.

‘Wait.’

Minho asked, one of Jung Kyung-min's words got stuck.

“You sent a formal contract to my agency? ”

Jung Kyung-min looked at Minho, who seemed to have no concept of sound recording at all.

“You haven't done it once or twice, so why don't you just pretend you don't know? ”

I've done it once or twice. That's why Minho waited for Jung Kyung-min's explanation without saying anything.

“By releasing a single person into Minho's version, Yoon Yi Seol told me that he couldn't stand the proportion of composer 5. Our company typically distributes songs 4, Composition 4 and Composition 2 except for distribution costs. In this case, Yoon Yi Seol wrote a song by himself, so it would be 8 to 2. ”

“If you sell sound recordings, will you give me 20 percent of your income? ”

“I'd say 18 percent after taxes. ”

Jung Kyung-min turned away as if the conversation was over. Without a greeting, he turns his head again and leaves a note.

“Don't even think about putting a name on the next song, because you'll never like my production. ”

“Cheer up."

Jung Kyung-min, who had shot me once with the eyes of "Let's see," disappeared. Minho waved his hand briefly and fell into a new concern.

At the company level, the contract for compilation income has been clearly in Im So-hee's ears for more than a few years. This video also seemed clear that the number of views will not increase compared to the number of times I played the video.

Of course, coming back will be the pressure on the music program.

How do we get out of this? ’

The first order begins as the stage truck opens while you are troubled.

Thirty minutes to show time.

“Hello, I'm Yoon Yi Seol. ”

As soon as Yoon Yi Seol stepped onstage and greeted him, the applause calmly resounded. Some people followed me here as opposed to a surprise show in the arcade. They said, "The iron lord!” Shouting aloud, those who didn't know her smiled.

After finishing setting up the guitar, Yoon Yi Seol sat back at the audience. Looking for someone. I wasn't the kind of guy who liked to shake his hands and go crazy.

Yoon Lee Seol found a man standing over the crowd with his arms crossed. She smiled without even knowing it. Minho pointed to Mike to hurry up and sing.

“I'm sorry for those of you who were expecting 'Once again,' but today we have a new song, 'Shining Star.’ ”

“Anything's fine! ”

When someone shouts in a group of men, the audience explodes. Yoon Lee Seol turned his head and signaled Cindy and the drummer with his eyes.

“Two, three...”

Her fingertips press into the guitar string. The sound alone resonated to reproduce the luscious tune Minho had added to Harmonica. Even though it was just that, the audience focused on the movement of her white and neat fingertips with anticipated eyes.

And then the snoring started.

Every single melody that vibrates on the speaker digs into the audience's ears. For a moment, I was intoxicated by the excitement of floating in the void of a gleaming note, even though I was invisible. She recites a song.

The sound that pierced everyone's heart was the instrument itself, making everyone's heart throb. The audience was all breathless and immersed in the beauty of Yun Yi Seol's music.

“Great!”

Someone mutters as if enchanted. Those around me who agreed that this compliment was just a tribe nodded silently or just enjoyed music.

Suddenly, the thought of drums and Cindy assisting the song passed, and even verses 2, which I hoped would not end, passed away.

The audience that was watching, the people who were passing by the street, what to do. For this moment, I couldn't help but be distracted by her onstage.

Yoon Yi Seol's passion for singing embellished the damage of Hyeong-goo. After the last sentence, the applause of those who were moved was poured out.

The cheer was louder than any singer she had performed before.

Yoon Iseol, who was picking his breath, stood up and bowed his head.

“Thank you."

Yoon Iseol came down from the stage with the elders of HY music.

“Well done, Lee Seol. ”

“That's the Dark Horse. ”

Especially, Hyojeong, who was on the stage earlier, was amazed with both thumbs up.

“Great song. I love that you're so grumpy about the arrangement. ”

“Hehe, right? ”

“What's going to happen to the guy who helped you out? I'll give you a lot of loyalty. ”

“You can't do that because Min-ho nailed you. because you're very thorough about this. ”

“Too bad. Even if it's you, help me out with my song later. A good producer can sense things. ”

Yoon Lee Seol just laughed after checking that Jung Kyeong Min was making a bitter face behind Hyo Kyung's back.

“Lee Seol Yoon.”

Jung Kyeong Minh approached and stood next to him, hot Hyeol quickly greeted him and left.

“It certainly looks like this type of arrangement is suitable for Yoon Yi Seol. Kang Minho looks better in charge of producing Yoon Il-sul's album. ”

“Do you think Ms. Grant will allow it? ”

“If you listen to this song, you'll have to scout Kang Minho. ”

“That's going to be hard. Min-ho's ransom is no joke. ”

Yoon Lee Seol felt the phone vibrate during the conversation and pulled it out.

[The ball manager has to come and try the company. Good look at the stage. She was beautiful.]

It was a word that pleased me more than anyone else. Yoon Il-sul smiled and asked Jung Kyung-min to understand and quickly pushed his head out of the tent. However, I couldn't see Minho leave the barrel of those who recognized her screaming as they waved their hands.

“Tsai, it's hard to meet you on a day like this. ”

Jiaying.

There's another text.

[And you. You said you didn't need the same arrangement, right? Then it looks like you did it for the money. Because I like your music. I'll be sure to educate him soon. When do you have a minute?]

Yoon Lee Seol's face was glowing.

* * *

"Hmm."

Minho stopped in front of the CEO's office at KG Enter Sanctuary and cleared his throat.

I didn't show up for work on the weekends. I wonder what fixed pros have been waiting for. The ball manager was happy the whole time, but Minho was probably a hundred times the burden.

Knock, knock.

“I'm Kang Minho.”

I carefully opened the door. Minho watched the video floating on the wall monitor. It was a playroom duet with Yoon Yi-sul who just uploaded today.

“Welcome, Minho. ”

As usual, Im Hee turned her head while she was sitting on the couch dressed as a career woman.

“I heard from your sister that you took a different car instead of the one you gave her. ”

“I like something. Is that okay?”

“It doesn't matter, it's the incentive of Min Ho's self-awarded T-brand contract. If I thought you were interested in classical cars, I'd introduce you somewhere else. ”

“No, it's not.”

‘If we'd gone elsewhere, we wouldn't have found our roof. ’

As soon as Minho sat down, Im So-hee pointed to the duet screen as if she was waiting.

“You have an interesting contract from HY music. ”

“If you say so. Help a brother I know...”

Im So-hee cut the horse before even starting the full excuse.

“You can't take outside actions that are not originally planned by the company. Minho has an exclusive contract with KG, and this contract with HY may be a violation. Fortunately, HY knew about it and contacted the company, not Minho's individual. ”

Im So-hee stopped the flowing video and said.

“I'll apologize first. ”

Minho's eyes widened with a sudden look at Minho, who lowered his head.

“I underestimated Minho's potential. I didn't expect you to be more than just a pro-level musical pro, but also an eclectic sense of music appeal. I heard that Lee Seol Yoon participated in the orchestra as well as Lee Sang Gun's. Is it true? ”

The ideal song is headphones with reinforcements. Yoon Yi Seol's song is in Once. I was just enjoying the music and got involved with the two of them, but I was not going to call it an arrangement.

Minho, who had a shaky face, did not stop asking the embarrassing questions of Minho.

“Yesterday's entertainment professional interview was also very responsive. They said there was a lot of text on the viewer board asking to be in the Youth Journal again. I want NaPD to perform as Minho's only guest during the autumn harvest special. What do you think, Minho? ”

After thinking about how to refuse and how to excuse myself for a short time, Minhee smiled softly and said.

“It's rare for someone to always go above and beyond the standard when they have a job to do. But Min-ho does more than that every time. curiously.”

Minhee's eyes seemed to pierce her insides, making her responsible for her work every time. At first glance, it looked similar to the ball manager who played "believe."

Business calculations, which I have been through several times, will be continuing rapidly in the head of Minhee. Now I just hoped that there would be no penalty for overestimation in that calculation.

“Minho said that when we renewed the contract. Can I be like the people in the halls of this prison? ”

Minho recalled what he said was worth investing in at that time.

“Could you ask me that question again? ”

“Can I be like the people hanging in the halls of this prison? ”

After watching Minho so much, Minho shook his head to the left and to the right.

“No.”

Min-ho's ears dropped in response to an answer that was different from his expectations.

“I can confidently say that I can be more popular than any of the stars from KG Enter. So please do this for now. ”

Minho nodded, feeling a proud burden on Minho's words full of trust.

“I'll do what I can. ”

I immediately made excuses for what I was thinking about.

“Arranged sense is a compliment. It's just that the advisor fits well with his brother and Lee Seul's musical orientation. So like before, I don't want you to get involved in music. It's just a hobby.”

“Of course. I recommend it, but I don't want to push all the schedules. ”

“The Youth Journal is a rejection. Other recognizable talents are enough to aim for sparkle popularity. You don't have to use the same image again. ”

“You're right. I'll say no to NaPD. ”

Minho lets out a sigh of relief. Just when I thought I was relieved, I realized why I came to the boss's room.

“That's right. What's a fixed pro? ”

In response to Minho's question, Minho became very anticipated.

“This is a reality show planned for the season at NTV. It's a show that specializes in a professional group called Gamer, which is Minho's specialty. ”

I was trying to ask her because I couldn't feel it well, but she manipulated the remote control to change the screen. It was a list of candidates for the new program.

“Lawyers, masters, announcers, singers, actors, gamblers... Isn't it gorgeous? who are considered to have genius in all sorts of levels. I'm going to pick 10 of them. and get together for a reality show and pick out the dropouts by the week through the game. Until the final winner. ”

“What game? ”

“That's highly classified by the producers. My expectations are broad. like having to put on a head, have a psychological battle, or be quick to calculate. Games that can be played by ordinary people, but can be solved more interestingly by geniuses. Aren't they the virtues Minho needs for professional gamers? ”

Im So-hee turned over the screen.

“It's still private, but I also got the title of the program. ”

When Minho glared at the screen, the title [Smarter Game] came up with the gold colored dice.

“The maximum prize you can win when you become the final winner is over a billion. It's the largest single program in the country. ”

Ten people get together and play a completely different game. Minho felt the excitement and asked.

“Isn't there a chance that I won't be elected there? ”

“Don't worry. Minho was cast first because he won a hot quiz show at the same station. ”

“If you survive, you're a ten-week fixer-upper. ”

“That's right.”

Im So-hee asked, shining his eyes.

“What do you think? Are you confident? ”

Minho shrugged and replied.

“Ask me again in 10 weeks. ”

Of course, if you fail before then, you won't have to ask.
