If You Raise Three Idols Well, They Will Confess Their Love

78 – What Trucks and Regressors Have in Common

Episode 78

Kim Seon-ye, who could not hide her embarrassment, soon laughed at me and said,

“Transaction? Haha, that’s funny. “With what confidence do you have to say something like that when even apologizing and kneeling down isn’t enough?”

“If I can improve the situation by kneeling or prostrating myself and apologizing, I will do so. However, right now it feels like there is no productivity in that action.”

What’s going to happen other than your hysteria getting a bit relieved? Instead of doing that, let’s look at the situation calmly.

Since the recorded video has already been filmed like this, winter and I can’t even cut it. Can you edit the entire A class, which only has 3 people?

At best, it would be to put pressure on me and force me into a role that is disadvantageous to Gyeoreum.

And I will not just watch that happen with my eyes open.

“Also, I’m not the only one responsible for this situation, right? The reason the situation spread so widely was largely because the judges’ evaluation criteria were too tight. “What ability do I have to control the minds of those great judges?”

“…”

Kim Sunye took out a lipstick from her pouch and applied it to her mouth, as if she was bored.

“So what you wanted to say was simply complaining about lack of ability and avoiding responsibility?”

“No. “If that was all it was, I wouldn’t have even mentioned the word ‘deal.'”

I passed the chair at the editing table where Sunye Kim was sitting and sat down on a small folding chair.

That’s how she and I became at the same level.

I said while clasping her hands and looking at her in the eyes.

“Why does PD Kim Seon-ye think this situation is a crisis?”

She said angrily, as if it was ridiculous.

“Are you asking because you don’t know that? Of course, that’s because the image I envisioned while creating the program was ruined. “The image shown to viewers would not be one of jewels competing like I wanted, but rather one of picking one or two jewels out of a bucket of shit!”

No, that’s what happened when this recording was broadcast as is.

“It is not a crisis. If you change the focus of editing, you can overcome it more easily than you think.”

“You speak so easily. How?”

“You can make the judges into villains.”

In fact, looking at what they have done now, it is no exaggeration to say that they are real villains.

Even though the production staff had already provided evaluation standards and guidelines, they ignored them and proceeded with their work, forgetting that it was a broadcast.

So the justification lies here.

Nevertheless, Kim Seon-ye expressed a negative opinion.

“Do you think those proud people will allow that?”

“I will. Why don’t you do it?”

It is true that they have great authority, but they are also human.

“They say the broadcast is failing because of their own mistakes. How can you ignore it? No matter how great their reputation is, it is not enough to overlook such negligence. On the contrary, because it has such a reputation, there are probably many enemies who want to bite it. So you won’t be able to avoid it. “You may need to be careful in negotiations to avoid hostility.”

Of course, there are some outliers like James O among them, so you need to be careful.

That guy is a crazy person who can rub up against a single individual at a broadcasting station…

“But it is dangerous to antagonize the entire panel of judges, and perhaps it is easier and more effective to target one person in particular. Well, since this is your area of expertise, you should know better.”

Sunye, I saw that you were good at that when I watched your previous broadcasts, right?

Grab one person and make a villain.

“And we must take into account that most of the trainees currently being evaluated have an existing fan base, such as having already debuted, gained fame through audition programs, or gained fame through AllTube. Their fan base is not going to allow public opinion to make this place where those kids are in a shithole.”

Although the size of the fandom is less than that of the active top players, that does not mean that their firepower is weak.

They are the type of people who make a big splash by making the vote-rigging controversy public and starting an investigation, but they can never be said to have weak firepower.

Such a fandom will come forward and defend.

“Under…” , Well. Wouldn’t they rather take the lead and criticize the broadcasting station that portrayed their star in that way? “It’s easier to criticize than to protect, right?”

“No. If the trainees who appeared on stage really showed a bad performance, criticism would flow that the broadcasting station had done malicious editing, but in fact, the average level shown by the trainees in this recording was quite high. Viewers will find it attractive enough.”

There are many situations in which people blame the broadcasting station, but basically, it ruins the trainee’s image. However, with the current stage level, there was no need to worry about such things. Although they were undervalued because the evaluation conditions were too high, the children were attractive enough.

With such an attractive talent pool gathered, the last episode was a success, garnering millions of views on each stage.

There was no doubt about their charm and skills.

… The problem is that Winter was so crazy good that she stood out among them.

“At any rate, as long as the opinion of experts is mainly negative, fans will be swayed by it.”

“That is the point where the PD’s role becomes important.”

Kim Seon-ye looked at me with suspicious eyes and said.

“Tell me what that role is.”

“Do the editing of an angel, not the devil.”

Become a shepherd who gathers viewers. Seonye Kim.

“A mistake that occurred while moving the movement line, an out of tune sound while singing falsetto, etc. These are mistakes that can easily occur as they are made to go on stage right away without any rehearsal. Highlighting that is the so-called devil’s editing. Do this in reverse.”

“Are you saying that we should make it appear to anyone that the judges were forcing criticism?”

As someone who is planning a big scheme called vote manipulation, he is quick to understand.

“You’re right. Of course, it is dangerous to be completely hostile to them, so as I mentioned earlier, you will need to walk a tightrope. I think that part can be resolved depending on the PD’s abilities. You are the one Who can do it, right? PD Kim Seon-ye.”

“…”

She snorted once and crossed her legs in opposite directions.

“Isn’t she the one whose head isn’t rolling?”

“This is a huge compliment. That’s because a picture like this must have already been in the producer’s head.”

At my words, she burst into laughter again. But if the previous context was ridicule, this time was a little different. It was a smile mixed with strange admiration, as if he was saying, ‘Look at this?’

“… You look young. Do you think you have quite a bit of experience? It’s the same with what I say and the thoughts I have. … Is it so. For now, just keep talking.”

I shrugged her shoulders and said,

“There’s no way the producer couldn’t have come up with the thoughts that I, who am just a manager up to this point, could have come up with. Although there may be differences in details, I believe producer Kim Sun-ye also came up with a similar way to deal with it.”

She said, nodding her head as if she was interested.

“Yes. If I couldn’t do that, I wouldn’t have been able to get to this position. But why did I bring this up even though I thought I knew? “If he meant to let off steam because it was a situation that could be easily dealt with, then I think I should just do what I originally wanted to do to Team Leader Sun.”

You speak really scary words.

Don’t worry, the story isn’t over yet.

“Well then, let’s go back to the original story. Why does PD Kim Sun-ye think this situation is a crisis? As we discussed, you already have enough countermeasures in place.”

Kim Seon-ye’s expression hardened.

“That’s a story you don’t need to know.”

“It may be something I don’t need to know, but I already figured it out.”

“… Since you look at me favorably, are you crawling up? “What do you know?”

To know something, you know everything.

I unclasped her hands, sat down comfortably against the back of her chair, and crossed my legs like she did.

“The 11 people who will debut have already been decided, right?”

“…”

“The love story with your superiors has already ended, right? “You must have prepared to rig the vote.”

She took a sip from the paper cup placed in front of the table and spoke as if it was absurd for me to say that.

“I don’t know where you picked it up and why you’re talking about it like that, but…”

“Kim Yu-jin, Catherine, Yeo Su-ah, Rachel, Lin May, Misaki, Lee Bom, Song Chae-young, Jang Min-hee, Kaori, Emily.”

Kim Seon-ye’s mouth opened. The paper cup I was holding fell and rolled on the floor.

Looking at her like that, I let out a little of her uncontrollable laughter.

“That’s right, right? 11 people.”

Sunye, do you know what a truck and a returner have in common?

“This is crazy…”

There is no answer if you get hit.
