Chapter 339
Debut or Die
If I canât debut, Iâll get sick to death Episode 339
The testa tour is also in the middle of April, with only a few weeks left in the US.
âLetâs go to the cinema again!â
âI donât have time.â
âThen make it!â
Be persistent today.
I looked at Cha Yoo-jin, who was singing to watch a movie even at the composing camp.
Because of this guy, I am on my way to see like robbing every city I go on tour at night.
âThere have been quite a few sightings.â
I went and stopped when people who were aiming for a predictive shot came looking for me, but they are doing that as if they had some kind of withdrawal symptoms.
âIt is not good to continuously steal the hyungsâ sleep time in order to re-watch Cha Yoo-jinâs appearances that last only a few seconds⦠.â
âMy voice is long! And we were great!â
âHaha thatâs right. It was amazing to hear our song in the ending credits.â
Yes, I didnât know that our song would be adopted as the main theme song.
I donât know, but I guess the reason the producer came to the scene last time was because he liked the song more than I could have imagined.
âEven though those bastards never paid more.â
Letâs say it was used for publicity. First of all, the composer himself is very excited.
âyes! I was very excited too!â
âokay.â
âI wasnât curious? Rabinâs song was really good~â
Once again, admiration poured out for the top contributor. Even Cha Yu-jin nodded.
âKim Rae-binâs song was great too.â
Kim Rae-bin solemnly nodded.
âThere were parts that were somewhat disappointing in terms of completeness due to the hasty production, but after filming, I supplemented it with feedback, so I decided that it was finished to a level that I am not ashamed of.â
âGOOD~â
Rarely do the two of you fight and agree.
âThe bar response is great. Even in the US⦠An article appears.â
âOh~ Really?â
It seems that Seon Ah-hyun even tried to search on rare occasions. If you do something different, you get all sorts of results.
I translated the article he gave me.
âIt was a KPOP boy band that composed the main insert song for this Limestone movie⦠It is said that the identity of that impressive cameo star is surprising the public.â
âOhhh~â
Itâs too early to admire that the articles are all published separately, but when I actually entered the American anonymous community and searched, there were posts about knowing.
âFirst of all, the movie was so successful at the box office.â
This was something we couldnât do anything about, but we were lucky.
Anyway, it seems that we are already posting thanks to the well-shot in the popular movie.
Even the testa cameo scene leaked in low quality and wandering around was attached.
The funny thing is that there were many people who said, âI thought it was a supporting role, but I was embarrassed because it didnât appear againâ, probably not knowing that it was a cameo.
-I thought that crazy band would reappear later, but itâs a pity ? Still, the song in the ending credits is what they were
playing
right
? It seems to be coming.
I remembered the comments on a popular article titled âThe identity of the crazy band from .â -*Is
this * K-Pop?
âBoth of them (crying smiley emoji)
-Testa is one of the most talented K-pop groups Iâve ever seen, so I wasnât surprised
âRight
! Itâs a boy ?
â As expected, K-pop fans are popping out lol
And if you go out a little further, even a variety show where we sold hotteok in the US is often attached as a recommendation at the end.
In other words, the overseas response also complied with more than expected.
âThe overall response is really good.â
âI know.â
And thereâs a guy whoâs listening carefully to all this, pretending heâs not here.
He is the one who brought this reaction in the form of a two-headed carriage with Kim Rae-bin.
I turned my head.
âMy brother was very good at acting.â
â⦠Hmmm.â
Itâs Bae Se-jin.
Itâs not once or twice that people around me do this, but now Iâm a bit embarrassed. At first, I was very frightened.
Cha Yoo-jin cheered.
âthatâs right! Absolutely perfect!â
âActually, it wasnât perfect. I tried my best to interpret the lines according to the makeup and the situation, but there are pronunciation problems⦠anyway! Thank you! You helped me a lot with my pronunciation.â
âi know!â
Bae Se-jin stopped at that point and admitted meekly. It seems that he is finally starting to become aware that the atmosphere becomes embarrassing if he is serious here.
Perhaps the fact that I saw so many good reviews also played a role.
I recalled the favorable reactions pouring in on the first day of release. -I just
thought you
were an actor from there
-Crazy
-What is Bae Se-jin? What is Bae Se-jin?
âThey asked a lot of questions on set.â
Bae Se-jin tried to understand as much as possible about the script and the situation, even using Cha Yoo-jin as an interpreter.
âAs I finished it at the end, an ad-lib passed in one cut.â
In the beginning, the cameo line was only a humorous curse word and a line of argument.
However, I thought, âWouldnât it be more fun to say something at the endâ, and the line I came up with on the spot was that ad-lib.
â Come listen again.
It was a pun, knowing that our song would play again in the latter half of the fight scene.
I didnât know that it would come out with a euphemism with vocals in the ending credits, but it would be recalled.
Anyway, his skills related to his acting and talent were at a level high enough to sweep almost overwhelmingly positive reviews.
Of course, thanks to this, there were also people who tickled each other. -I donât know why theyâre idols
. Isnât it
good for acting
?
It was obvious, so the groupâs fans all prepared and blocked it.
However, it is a problem that such an unusual reaction came out even among ordinary people and cinephiles who just came to see the movie. â
Itâs too wasteful to only do a cameo, please
build
up your filmography quickly.
âAnyway, they still pay more to actors than idols.â
Is it a matter of job life and characteristics? I thought briefly and then just shrugged and quit.
âFor now, letâs enjoy it.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Right now, right after Testa has raised the status of the group by winning the grand prize, public opinion is not collapsing and maintaining a balance.
In the first place, Testa participated in this movie as an OST, so Bae Se-jin appeared as a member of it.
It means that the atmosphere is not expected that Bae Se-jin will quit group activities âimmediatelyâ and start acting.
âStill, if you want to do group activities naturally while doing individual activities, you have to be careful from now on.â
I donât know what these guys will prioritize then⦠Itâs safe to create an environment where you can choose first.
âItâs good to do various activities as a group and produce good results.â
And I wonder if things that have not yet been properly revealed in this film will help with that.
Coincidentally, a similar topic has also returned among the members.
âUmm~ Hyung, did you ever say when the euphemism of our OST will be released?â
The OST of this movie we sang.
âBlack holeâ.
Even though this was not an official sound source, even illegal sound sources extracted from trailers were circulating. Google even auto-completed it in English.
However, we do not have the right to release the music.
âwell. I didnât receive a specific date⦠It will probably be released according to the schedule of the film company.â
I nodded.
âYes. Because it will be included in their OST album, not ours.â
From the standpoint of T1, since the contract was like that, it wouldnât be much of a difference.
⦠⦠And in fact, I was aiming for this too.
âIf this side had the authority, I would have already released it with excitement on the first day of release.â
This kind of thing should be released when demand is at its peak, but it would have been unbearable until then because it was full of public opinion. Iâm sure.
Besides, the most important reason is:
âThe Limestone will take care of it.â
It is the title of âLimestoneâ.
American superhero film series.
âIf itâs released as an OST for this movie, itâs a huge profit in the US.â
The moment a song comes out with a familiar and cool Limestone title instead of the name of an unfamiliar foreign KPOP singer, the entry barrier to the song disappears.
The elimination of preconceived notions and prejudices.
It was the best reward.
âThis is worth doing.â
In addition, there is content to add boosters here.
âHmm.â
âFor an American album, that too is amazing.â
âThatâs right. It was also my first film song⦠Youâve worked hard, Rabin⦠!â
âAhyeon-hyung also worked hard with smooth communication support and performance guidance!â
I worked hard calculating the return on investment in my head as I watched the guys exchanging conversations in the way that âthe experience alone was enjoyableâ.
and after a few days.
In the name of âThank you for your supportâ, the OST sound source was released with the label of Limestone.
And not only the sound source, but also a short video was released to the world.
â What is this?
-Hey fuck,
itâs a live performance we took on the set of a bar on the set.
Yeah, the Limestone bastards decided to release this for promotional purposes, not VOD or Directorâs Cut.
* * *
The day the OST sound source and performance video were released.
While returning to Korea for a while, we watched the video on a tablet PC using the in-flight WIFI.
âand.â
âThe editing is definitely different.â
It is edited to make it feel like part of the movie, a little different from the camera work used on stage, so the unfamiliar taste is excellent.
[Black â hole!]
The lighting on the chin and the back of the hands and feet handling the instrument are artistically captured under colored lights resembling neon signs.
From the avant-garde attire and background rebellious performance to clear vocals. The band performance that made the most of the atmosphere of was really worth seeing.
It was natural because there were people who had actually used similar instruments to the bizarre space instruments.
[Hit it like a comet!]
I nodded as I saw the camera catching Yujin Cha throwing a microphone from bottom to top at the last center.
âIt took quite a bit of effort.â
It is full of American sensibility, but it was unique because the image of this band in the movie was so strong. There is a definite attraction.
And I donât think itâs because Iâm the one who performed.
[22938704]
It hasnât even been a few hours since it was released, but it has already reached tens of millions of views.
At that moment, Cha Yoo-jin blew a whistle.
âWeâre #2 in popularity in America!â
âOhh~â
âYou mean real-time popular video rankings?â
âthatâs right!â
Thatâs how I knew where this hit was towed. is the target market.
done.
Whether itâs a movie fan or whatever, thereâs nothing wrong with a high-quality performance video that has a steady rise in views.
It might take some time to explain that itâs not a band, but thatâs what itâs like to turn it into an episode on a talk show.
âItâs a cognitive map, honey.â
It was time to roll my head on how to maximize this.
Sejin Sejin, who was watching the previous video and monitoring the reaction, suddenly hit his shoulder. What.
âPark Moondae.â
âwhy.â
âLook at this.â
I checked the smartphone he was holding out.
[Comparison of Testa OST plagiarism controversy]
â⦠!!â
plagiarism?
I immediately checked Raebin Kimâs face in the front seat. Then Sejin shakes his head and pulls my neck.
âRead on.â
â⦠⦠.â
I turned my eyes once. And read the text⦠⦠.
ââââââââ
Testaâs Cosmic Gunner OST Blackhole Bridge (from 1:30)
Arranged by YouTuber âStar Songâ Channel ã127 Section ã Time running Arrangement (from 2:56)
Judgment is up to you.
+For your reference, I am a student studying Star Song, but I am not an amateur and have participated in the official game theme song
ââââââââ
â⦠??â
Whatâs this.
Why is there an account for our arrangement?
I immediately called Kim Rae-bin. And I showed the article to Kim Rae-bin.
â⦠??â
He made the same stupid face as I did two minutes ago.
I waited patiently for some more reaction. Fortunately, Kim Rae-bin shouted as if he knew right away.
â⦠! Thatâs right, it seems that some of the samples I made before overlapped because I was in a hurry!â
âah.â
âsorry. Since we have the same world view, I didnât recognize it during urgent work and stopped⦠.â
And to sum up the following guyâs explanation, itâs like this.
âI frantically chose out of pre-made beats and samples to work on the OST, but since they all share the same worldview, they seem to overlap. Itâs my negligence! I will do deep reflection and take countermeasures at the same time!â
âNo, wait.â
I calmed down Rabin Kim.
âMoondaemundae?â
After showing a gesture asking Sejin to stop for a moment, I first entered the account of âByeolbyeolgokâ.
The comments on the video were already exploding.
And the main argument is this.
-Sue, never sue
-Byeolgok, cheer up hyung, I support you
-Itâs the first time Iâve heard it, and itâs such a good song. It really canât be compared to plagiarized songs.
âoh.â
Everyone is excited.
I rubbed my chin. This⦠If I do well, I might be able to use it.
