Fucking Idol Episode 195

* * *

HR Corporation is a professional among professionals.

The reason they occupy a certain portion of the Billboard and are called the kingpins of the American music industry is simple.

That was because he was good at his job.

Such people began to move for the sale of .

The goal is diamonds (10 million).

“Diamonds? In 2018?”

“Is this guy Elvis Presley?”

“If Elvis came out now, it would be impossible, right?”

It’s natural for a company to set its sights high, but the consensus at HR Corporation is that 10 million is too much.

But Andrew Bryant, who pushed his first project after taking office as CEO, didn’t care.

People might find it ridiculous, but he was really aiming for 10 million copies.

To give you a more detailed calculation, the plan is to sell 5 million copies in the United States and 5 million copies worldwide.

Unless the music is only for a certain race or class, HR Corporation usually produces as much worldwide as it produces in the United States.

Asians are spread all over the world, and they form bonds that are different from those of Americans.

When a Korean player plays in the Premier League, the Chinese (except for the extreme nationalists) are proud.

It was after the recording of the English version of TFD that Andrew Bryant’s opinion was evaluated as ‘perhaps there is a little possibility?’

‘That’s amazing.’

Of all of Han Shion’s many talents, the one that is most difficult to understand is his use of English.

Han Shion’s English is perfect.

It’s not that it’s contextually perfect, but it’s the perfect colloquialism used locally.

At Han Shion’s request, three tracks were transcribed by a professional translator, but weren’t the rest all written by Han Shion?

I don’t know how this can happen.

But it’s a very pleasant surprise.

The soundtrack, which was flown in from Korea, was mixed and mastered by a studio under HR Corporation.

I know Hanshion is an expert in this area, but this is something HR Corporation cannot compromise on.

Because the sound is connected to the company’s brand.

For giant companies like HR Corporation, which own numerous music labels, maintaining the integrity of the label’s identity is also an important marketing strategy.

The post-production started like that.

The guitar that Han Si-on had mixed so elegantly became a little bit messy, and the center of gravity of the vocal pitch shifted from high EQ to mid EQ.

The drums were more open about their ghost notes, and the faint bass sounded more audible.

Mixing and mastering are not just technical processes that create pleasing sounds.

Familiar cultural elements are also incorporated.

And HR was a believer in the traditional American sound.

in result…….

“Wow.”

“Will this work?”

“I don’t know about diamonds, but at least triple platinum… … .”

Those who had applauded after hearing Han Shion’s original soundtrack began to cheer.

The rest was to design the cover, produce the album, and put the contents into the packaging that Americans loved.

This is something that time will solve.

By then the contract was finalized.

It is not a contract for three months and one hundred days.

It was a temporary contract with many artists who participated in TFD.

From Jankos Greenwood and Donald McGuis to Mary Jones and Chris Edwards.

The musical ability of Han Si-on, who brought these Avengers together in one place, is amazing, and the simplicity of making an album with them is also amazing.

After ending their contract with them, HR Corporation tried to change ‘simplicity’ to ‘complexity’.

While Hanshion simply sold albums and received money, HR Corporation wanted to make money in a more complex way.

It all started with Donald McGurr, a deep-rooted blues giant with an eternal boyish sensibility.

* * *

[Ladies and Gentlemen! It’s Donald McGus!]

Donald McGus is a celebrity, but he doesn’t appear on popular talk shows.

There’s a big difference between being famous and having a lucrative image, so the network doesn’t consider Donald McGurr a top-tier performer.

But Donald McGus’s agent demands a S-class appearance fee.

In this gap, Donald McGurth, who had not appeared on TV for quite some time (except for album promotions),

However, some viewers who were unaware of this fact changed the channel upon seeing Donald McGus’ face, and others sat on the sofa happily seeing Donald McGus.

[How have you been?]

[I’m still cursing the Grammy Awards for not nominating me.]

At the recent Grammy Awards, Donald McGurk did not receive a single nomination.

But the viewers and audience burst into laughter.

Since he didn’t release an album, it was obvious that he wasn’t nominated.

Donald McGee, who cracked jokes, and the host exchanged gossip.

The Ellen High talk show they appeared on is produced by HBO’s label.

That is, the promotion of the documentary filmed with Chris Edwards was the top priority.

But it was HR Corporation that put the capital into it, and the set show reached the set place.

[At this point, it feels like blues is more of a foundation than a music genre, right? Included in all music.]

The host was talking about blues and mentioned some new musicians who have been rising in the blues recently.

[How do you rate them?]

[Isn’t there a separate place to rate pretty boy bands?]

[yes?]

[Why don’t you ask these scumbags at NME or something?]

[Wow, that’s powerful?]

Donald McGrath is not a sarcastic person, but he is an honest man.

Because of his honesty, he was sometimes liked and sometimes resented.

This time, the latter was more likely.

The host asked back with a rather puzzled look on his face.

[But aren’t these guys’ album sales extraordinary? They’re receiving proper support from blues fans.]

[You must be rotten ears who don’t know what’s good.]

Donald threw some sharp remarks, as if he had the right concept, and the host continued with the given script while calming the situation down.

* * *

-That’s an exaggeration.

– Old people of past generations never admit that their generation has passed.

-The easiest way to do that is to attack the next generation.

Donald McGuis’s remarks caused quite a stir.

This was especially because the young blues artists had a young fan base due to their good looks and great speaking skills.

Two of the three musicians who were slammed by Donald McGurr agreed.

[If that’s what he is, then so be it. If American blues is the Force, then he is Yoda.]

[You can’t be Darth Vader because of your height, right?]

Although he did end his speech with a nuance that seemed to slightly mock Donald McGuis’s unattractive appearance, this is good enough.

But the one who remained, ‘Ingwe Geich’, could not stand it.

[There’s no need to put too much meaning into what a senile old man says. His blues stopped at the 3rd album and was eliminated from the 4th album onwards.]

It was a proper bang-up call that brought the beef between blues musicians to light.

While head-butting fights are common in the rock and hip-hop scenes, they are rare in the blues scene.

The media, of course, got excited and started spreading the word about their beef, and Ingwe Gaethje didn’t stop.

[One more piece of evidence that he is either delusional or just talking nonsense because he needs money.]

At that point, Yngwi Gaethje brought up Donald McGrath’s past comments.

These were remarks made about it.

It’s been a while since that happened, but Donald McGuss once raved about TFD and Hanzion.

While talking about musicians who will lead the next generation of blues, he was also praised for his talent, saying it was regrettable that Han Si-on’s talent did not encompass blues but rather all of music.

Donald McGuss must have been so loud that some blues fans were buying and listening to TFD.

After that, the masters would add their own words and fans of each genre would purchase TFD.

That’s how US sales surpassed gold.

But now these remarks seemed poisonous.

Yet Donald McGuis stood his ground.

[He was a guy with worse eyesight than hands. Do you have an HBO ID?]

As it happens, a documentary was released on HBO.

There was a lot of substance in the HBO documentary, and it really showcased Donald McGus’ incredible talent.

You couldn’t help but applaud when his guitar really hit the blue notes.

There was also a conversation between Chris Edwards and Donald McGurk.

[… … ! What, is this the end?]

[He said he saw Donald McGrath playing in his dream.]

[who?]

Zion and his songs, which did not even appear in the documentary, were not properly heard.

But that evening, the scene where Donald McGus was drunk and playing guitar on the rooftop was the best.

Everyone who watched the documentary thought that a great song had been created… … .

[He was a friend who told funny lies.]

Actually, that song was written by Han Si-on.

Donald McGus played it himself and realized it right away.

In the documentary, this was the end.

The subtitles simply ended with, ‘After that, Donald McGus participated in the album of a K-pop group produced by Zion.’

There is no name for Sedalbaekil or album title.

It seems like no one has anything to do with it, so they don’t mention it.

It doesn’t look like a promotion.

But this whole slow and secretive process was what HR Corporation had planned to do to get to the diamond.

Even… … .

The young blues musicians who were recruited to coincide with the documentary’s release were all recruited, including Yngwi Gaethje, who has a heated beef with Donald McGrath.

* * *

“CP, I got a call from Sedalbaekil?”

“It’s slow.”

The MBN entertainment department CP said that while making a promise with Sedalbaekil.

The PDs may have noticed it too, but MBN is acting all foolish towards Sedalbaekil.

They are boycotting all appearance rights, including music shows, while conveying a single message.

‘Let’s eat and live together… something like that, right?’

It’s just a boycott in name only, everything is open.

When the company of 3 months and 100 days was making the schedule for the music show, the number of weeks you mentioned was difficult, but the answer we got was that we would try to reach the desired schedule through discussion.

Even a kindergartener can understand this.

It will probably be a tough negotiation.

Sedalbaekil will create a place for MBN’s name next to their tremendous success, and MBN will exchange honor and friendship.

But the next day.

CP couldn’t help but feel embarrassed during the meeting held with Director Seo Seung-hyun and Han Si-on present.

“I came here to convey this to you in person, in case there was any misunderstanding over email or phone.”

“It seems like it will be difficult for us to perform on music shows during this promotion due to our schedule.”

But CP knew full well that this was an impossible threat.

Because if proper negotiations aren’t made now, a fake boycott will become a real boycott.

CP, who had been gathering his thoughts for a moment, opened his mouth.
