The Manager Is a Gangster - Chapter 123



123 – Public Enemy(9)

“It’s a mess. You lost all focus Hari, how can a camera fixed on a cradle be out of focus? Are you going to debut like this?”

“How can Jiwoo stay still when she moves like that! I have to go and take a picture!”

“Ka, the camera lens looks like a wild boar’s eyes! Don’t look at me!”

“Jiwoo, do you have camera anxiety?”

“I am not used to being filmed on camera either. It’s okay Mr. No, I told you to call me Jiwoo. I’m sorry, Jiwoo.”

“Every day is true. What is there to be sorry for between us? I don’t mind paying! We are Nami!”

“Whoops. Yes. We were the same members.”

“No, Jiwoo unnie and Haru unnie! Now is not the time to film a contest where the two of you can’t even do it! Concentrate, concentrate! What is camera anxiety? Let’s overcome it well! Alright, let’s shoot again, Lira! Quickly!”

The practice room I went to after being contacted by Byul was literally sh*t.

I put the camera on the stand and I’m trying to do something in front of it, but nothing happens and it’s just noisy… sh*t It’s not even 5 minutes ago, it’s just sh*t.

In a situation where no answer came out, my originally stuffy head got even more stuffy, so I stood there blankly, and Ji-yeon, who was standing like a folding screen, rushed over to me and stuck next to me.

“Welcome! What are you doing, come now!”

“I was just thinking about it… But what is the situation?”

“What is the situation? Jinhyeok is filming the You Tube video you mentioned.”

Youtube video shooting? Is this how you normally shoot youtube videos?

“Okay then, I’ll do it again. Unni Ji-woo, be alert this time… Action!”

When I was having doubts about the You Tube filming, Lira, who was holding her camera, gave me an autograph like a veteran director.

“Still, you’re serious, aren’t you? I guess I’m really going to do it right now.”

I admired Lira’s serious appearance and took a step back to enjoy the photo shoot so as not to interfere.

“Properly……. Huh. That’s right. I am doing it right.”

“Huh?”

“It’s a problem because I feel like I’m the only one doing it properly.”

The filming began with Jiyeon muttering something ominous.

“Then, let’s introduce yourself first, sister!”

“Eh, yes. That, yes I should Because I, I am an idol. A proud idol… Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.”

Ji-Woo, who was in charge of her first shoot, took a deep breath to calm down her nervous mind and body, and then slowly opened her mouth to introduce herself.

“My, my name is Yoo Ji-woo. I’m a 20-year-old boy with no blood on his head this year. Still, my passion to become an idol is so great that it makes heaven and earth scream, so please take good care of me!”

After a short self-introduction, Jiwoo raised his hand on his belly button and folded his upper body like a folder phone to greet the camera politely.

It can be said that speaking a dialect while being an idol trainee is a mistake, but when that dialect is combined with Jiwoo’s unrivaled cuteness, it turns into a great charm, so there was no problem with this at all.

“All right, all right? Did I do well?”

Ji-woo also looked at director Lira with eyes full of expectations, as if she felt that she had completed her self-introduction without making a mistake or stopping this time.

“It was good. To the extent that I can definitely feel that it is a self-introduction that can be digested because it is Jiwoo unnie. No other trainee in this world will introduce herself like her older sister.”

“Right! Well done me! Uhehehe…!”

He was delighted with a big smile on his face at the praise from Lira.

The smile of Jiwoo, a trainee certified by Bareungil Entertainment, like the sunshine of a spring day, was enough to warm up the atmosphere at the filming set, and just like that, everyone in the hall laughed hahahahahoho and the proper filming began…

“However, there is one problem.”

As it should have been, Lyra splashed her with cold water.

“What, what’s wrong? Lira, you just said you liked me too, didn’t you! He said that his dialect was okay, and he also said that he had a unique self-introduction that only I could do, but why is he doing that!”

It may seem like nothing to others, but it was a hard job for Ji-woo, who is afraid of the camera, so Ji-woo looked at Lira with embarrassed eyes.

Then, Li-ra turned her camera monitor and directed the video to Ji-woo.

“Look here.”

Then she told Jiwoo what was the problem in a slightly hoarse voice as if she was tired.

“No matter how much it is, it is said that it is a unique self-introduction that only Ji-woo can do, but you still have to make eye contact with the camera while taking a self-introduction.”

As Lira said, Jiwoo, who moved in the camera monitor, was constantly looking at a corner other than the camera.

Certainly this is a bit like that. The lines and atmosphere were all good, but you can’t make eye contact.

Usually, when my members tell me what they’re doing, I’m the one who does them rounds, rounds, rounds, rounds, rounds, rounds, rounds, but the opening of the Nutube channel is an important event that has a very close relationship with the members’ debuts.

That’s why I couldn’t defend Ji-woo’s shooting right in front of me.

“Yeah, but the camera lens looks like a wild boar’s eyes, so it’s scary! I don’t know much about Lirani because it’s a city, but the wild boar golden horse is so big, ferocious, and scary! The only one who can catch a golden horse is Jindol from the village chief’s house!”

“Yes?”

“Yes, Lira, since you don’t seem to know, let me explain. First of all, that happened when I was very young, that is, when I was in elementary school…”

In the end, the trauma of the wild boar was erased only after the filming failed, and the story that he almost died when he met a wild boar while climbing a mountain holding a tree branch, and the moment of despair, the director’s house Jindo dog Jindol appeared and defeated the wild boar. They even let go of the wild boar and how loyal Jindol was.

“This is TMI, unnie Jiwoo.”

Unsurprisingly, in this situation, the story about the wild boar and Jindol was so useless.

“Hi-ing… Anyway, I’m scared, but it’s still a bit difficult…”

Jiwoo, who was cut off by Lira’s wild boar TMI, drooped her shoulders in sulk at the failed shoot.

“Then I’ll take the picture first. It was because I was nervous because it was the first order. Are you okay. I’ll show you how to shoot. Jiwoo, watch me taking pictures over there.”

Ji-woo, who is already small, naturally stimulated her natural instinct to protect her, and eventually, Haru, who was watching from behind, approached her and stroked her back affectionately.

“Uh, huh? But you said that you, like me, are uncomfortable with cameras.”

“That’s why seeing me filming is the best way for Jiwoo to be encouraged. Like Ji-woo, I am not familiar with the camera.”

With a caring line like a romance cartoon character, Haru smiled at Ji-woo.

“Mom… I fell in love with Haru now. That line should be really cool.”

“Whoops. Since we are the same members, we should help each other. So, please go and see it. How do I go about filming?”

“Ugh, ugh! Okay day! I’ll keep my eyes open and I won’t even blink once!”

It was a destructive smile that lifted Jiwoo’s droopy shoulders all at once, and the atmosphere in the studio (rehearsal room) heated up again with just one line of smile.

“Now then, what about Lira-chan? Before we start filming, I have a few requests for you. Will you listen?”

“Yes? Yes, I don’t care what it is… What is it?”

Standing at the place where Jiwoo had just died, Haru started explaining the direction she should take for her filming, like a veteran even though she was still only her trainee.

“Jeon Ji-woo’s self-introduction was really unique and nice, but it doesn’t suit me. I want to introduce myself that suits me. And since this is a method that is very well used in my country when filming self-introduction videos, there is no need to verify it.”

“Ohhh… Do I really have to call her Haru-sister? So what is it?”

“Wait a minute. There is something I wrote down while watching Ji-woo’s filming earlier… Now, here it is.”

Haru took a finely folded note out of her pocket and held it out to Lira.

“·······Hmm? Uh. Hmm. Sister? Can I do as it is written here?”

“Yes, please start.”

While Haru slightly bit her lower lip as if she was a little nervous, she confidently faced the camera with one determination to give Ji-woo some courage.

With that serious look, the current director, Lira, also made her look serious, and that’s how the filming began.

“Then, I’ll start with that… Haru sister!”

Oh, can we finally see a proper shoot? But what did Haru give you?

Also, it is a method that is very well used when shooting a self-introduction video in Japan, the country of Haru, and Haru, who said he was not familiar with cameras, confidently said that it would be good to use this, I focused on shooting Haru again.

“Then what is his name…?”

Unlike Jiwoo’s self-introduction, Lira was the first to speak.

“This is Haru Kang. Please call me Haru-chan.”

In response to Lira’s question, Haru said her name skillfully, as if it were true that Haru had prepared.

Something is wrong with Haru asking to be called Haru-chan. By the way, you chose a very fundamental question-and-answer method in which the cast answers when the director asks a question.

Unlike Ji-woo, it may not be fresh, but the question-and-answer method Haru chose was a method that could never fail when filming a self-introduction video.

Will Ji-woo catch the freshness, and Haru balances it through a stable question-and-answer method?

I don’t know if it was intentional or not, but the question and answer method Haru chose was very wise.

The fact that there is no obstacle in answering the question by making a question first is also enough to be highly evaluated.

At the time when I thought that I could watch the filming without worrying about the wonderful way that the words ‘As expected of Haru’ came out, Lira’s mouth continued to ask questions that Haru would have decided.

“Then Haru-chan, what about the three sizes?”

·······What?

“That… 82/56/83 From above. Are you.”

No, what the hell is this?

At Lira’s question, Haru blushed slightly and shyly revealed her three sizes.

Anyway, when an idol trainee introduces himself, he reveals a three-size-fits-all. This is not a self-introduction of an idol trainee, but rather a self-introduction that an actor with the concept of an idol trainee would do.

When I reached that point, the next question popped out of Lira’s mouth.

“I see. Then Haru-chan, the next question. My favorite body…”

“Stop it, children!”

You idols!
