Debut or Die

If you don’t debut, you’ll get sick to death Episode 465

It’s funny to say now, but actually our game wasn’t this big when we were planning it.

-Well, it’s a supplement to the USB album.

-Yes. And if you play for a day, I think the fans will enjoy it too.

-It’s good~ Because it’s fresh, won’t something come out on social media? i agree!

Literally an extended version of the music video.

In other words, it was at the level of putting options in an hour-long movie that can be viewed as an appendix when you buy the album.

It was a ploy to sublimate the weakness of physical albums into an extreme over-immersion concept.

‘… … but.’

The fact that the first meeting was in an abandoned factory was the beginning of all the problems… … .

-that… Do you think it’s possible? yes i think it will be fun!

It was good until I first brought out the interactive music video method.

-really?

-yes! In fact, there is a tool that we have been developing before. If you don’t mind, if you apply this… . does this work?

– Oh, it will work. You said that the playtime was about an hour, right? I think I can fit it somehow in terms of schedule!

At this time, I even smiled in my heart.

Actually, I know everything.

‘Originally, these people said that the next project for < 127 Section > was an interactive music video-type horror adventure.’

After that, under the umbrella of T1, < 127 Section > became a huge hit… .

So, the result is not obvious.

‘T1 must have sang a roundabout song telling me to release the next episode of < Section 127 >.’

So I couldn’t stand the crazy parachute leaders of T1 Place who were trying to eat the marrow of < 127 Section > and escaped.

That’s the scientific consensus… No, it’s the orthodoxy of game enthusiasts.

However, since it is possible to recycle a genre that has been stopped during development since childhood, why not try earning money for your next project?

-But this is a physics engine, but this part implementation is a little old version… If you want to put action elements into the game, it will take more development time.

-Ah, we really have a choice, but it’s okay if we put it in!

It didn’t matter.

It’s not that we’re trying to make an all-time masterpiece with a really great game quality, and the visuals are amazing, so we just need to be able to select the route.

It was enough if the fans could feel that they were interacting with us.

-Ah, if that’s the case, if you just refine the UI… .

So, the story progressed quickly and in a good way, and they had a good time signing autographs for the employees in a friendly atmosphere.

And then comes this story.

-oh! Then would you come and watch our music video shoot?

– Huh, is that okay?

-Ah, that’s obvious~ We’ll be working as a team now, so if you watch it, we’re grateful!

-If game production experts look at the process of content creation and provide feedback, it would be a great help!

This is why two representatives and a few key production personnel were invited to a shooting site that reads as a music video and reads as a game content and a movie.

and… on the day of filming.

“… !!”

“Oh, long time no see.”

“There is no crank-in.”

They open their mouths and open their eyes at the fancy equipment and settings that Bae Se-jin has recruited all along.

‘Of course, all the money is my money… .’

No matter how well Bae Se-jin acted as a child and showed excellent skills in cameos, would a capitalist society work without money?

I think this is why capital is so important.

It seemed to hear the sound of 10 billion burning.

‘Still, it’s fortunate that the filming location was secured in advance… … .’

I was fortunate to find a building suitable for the province. If it doesn’t work, I’ll have to fix it with post-correction CG, but I still wanted to know where this was.

“Under the eyes of Mundae~”

“Yes.”

I followed the makeup artist’s instructions and narrowed my eyes to see today’s first hitter wearing a police uniform and standing in the middle of the set.

“Um, can I go with this feeling?”

It’s a big Sejin filming the prologue.

He pretended to be a kind cop but took on the role of an urban legend-like jailer who kidnaps people… The dialogue was written by himself.

To make it as natural as possible.

‘Because we’re not established actors in the first place.’

Characters are usually made to use the same tone as the usual member as much as possible, or if that is not possible, the amount of dialogue is drastically reduced.

In the case of Lee Se-jin… The acting class I took when I was in the virtual world created by the system had some influence on my passing for that role.

-Hey~ That beggarly group life is so helpful! After all, hardships and adversity seem to be a stepping stone to growth haha!

– He’s clenching his fist. Clearly traumatic.

Of course, it would have been impossible without Bae Se-jin’s coaching.

Right now, Bae Se-jin is looking at Se-jin big, who has finished shooting the first cut with a hawk’s eye, and is shooting feedback.

“no. Talk more like you normally do now. If you deliberately try to express that there is something hidden in the story, do beginners become more unnatural?”

“ah.”

“If you go into the BGM and the other actor’s reaction, it will look suspicious enough, so don’t try to be meaningful by taking the lead.”

“Nep. Oh brother Like the camera guy here, slung over his shoulder like this… .”

Lee Se-jin did not show any awkwardness at the reversal of the situation, and seemed intent on asking questions and eating.

‘Well, the schedule is 60 days, so there’s no way I can afford that.’

And he completed the prologue filming more successfully than expected.

“Cut! Good~”

“… ! thank you!”

I laughed as I heard light exclamations like ‘It’s pretty good’ or glances exchanged between the people involved in the filming.

“… good job!”

“It’s because you taught me well~”

The two guys with the same name said awkwardly.

“Oh, it would be nice to take another shot even if the car isn’t exploding… It’s a pity, but I think that’s it!”

Not missing the behind-the-scenes cam appeal at the end was really strong.

And I immediately moved to the location and started filming the main story. This is because the time Bae Se-jin promised with this manpower was not long in the first place.

‘It kills the schedule.’

For reference, starting from the filming of the main story, the completed actor took the baton.

And the most important scene was dealt with first.

[…] … .]

In other words, Bae Se-jin filmed a scene trying to escape the main gate and got an ok at once.

‘… It’s overwhelming, though.’

It was an acting ability that almost felt like something. Should I say that he is like Cha Yoo-jin on stage?

Bae Se-jin is now a guy who can do enough for one person on stage, but comparing it to acting, I can see the difference.

The director seems to be the most excited today.

“Hey, our Sejin is still the same~”

“Ah um… thank you.”

Bae Se-jin looked a bit shy, but seemed quite proud.

Even after that, the filming was smoothly prepared and proceeded tightly.

“Yes, I’m going to the next locked room 3!”

Fortunately, the shooting order is fixed so that everyone rarely changes costumes to save time.

Thanks to that, I’m still wearing a filthy uncomfortable straitjacket… .

‘If it doesn’t come out well on the screen, I’ll go find the kid I made.’

I spent the day thinking that way.

“It’s nothing. how about this… ?”

“It sounds very plausible.”

And it was around the time I was nodding my head at Seon Ah-hyun, who was walking down the hallway swinging the baton moderately.

“hey.”

“… ? yes.”

There, too, people from the ruined factory or the industrial complex followed… People who had been quietly enjoying themselves all of a sudden started talking actively.

“Have you ever thought about the process?”

What.

“This is the first ending cut I took earlier. You made an album in the shape of the key mechanism shown there… that foca? You said you would put the code in there, right?”

“yes.”

By the way

“It was so nice to see it in person. The design of the gate, the composition, the clothes, and things like that are perfect… .”

The female representative clasped her hands tightly. The male representative hurriedly continued.

“Hey, how about the way that the character who presses the code changes depending on the member of the photo card?”

“… ??”

“Or, depending on the existing choices, favorability was accumulated, and that was the base… .”

for a moment.

There were opinions among the members, but all kinds of voices that were cut out due to problems of time and environment… .

Developers themselves started pouring out of their mouths.

“… … .”

I guess… Everything from the filming location, costume concept, and Bae Se-jin’s acting skills seemed to stimulate these people’s tastes.

no, no matter what

‘These people don’t know what realistic thinking means.’

I barely asked.

“It’s good, but the implementation is going…” Is it possible.”

“… Can’t we?”

do we know… ?

“But don’t you want to try? As you continued filming, you made the ones that were NG-processed because of that ad-lib into new options, so it looked good to use… .”

“… … .”

“Oh, and I also noticed that Eugene escaped. A bit of a gag ending in the middle? I think I can write with that feeling!”

“Did I take a good picture? Did you like it earlier?”

“wait for a sec.”

where did you come from

The two representatives are nodding their heads in exactly the same way to Cha Yoo-jin, who jumped out in a straitjacket with flashing eyes.

“yes!”

“Do we want to write?”

“Then use it! Please write Umm!”

“and!”

I just love it because the guy who was absolutely against this concept praised it… . no, before that

I barely opened my mouth.

“… … Was that time possible?”

“Haha, that’s because you’re just adding something that already exists as an option… .”

then?

“If we, who are free from labor laws, work overtime!”

“yes!”

“… … .”

so… Even the ad-lib and NG scenes that had to be cut originally were revived with options and a gag ending, so the volume increased like crazy.

It didn’t end here.

“And you said there were three versions.”

“yes. However, only the shape of the USB album and the prologue are different… .”

“Wouldn’t it be more like that feeling if you put in some personal events?”

“… ??”

“If I could revive the scrapped scenario here… .”

It was then.

“Are there any scrapped scenarios? is it so?”

“yes! Look at this.”

Even the director, who had intervened before he knew it, joined in, and an extended filming was decided on the spot.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t have time to memorize the script… … .”

“Ah~ It’s similar to your personalities anyway, so don’t be too conscious of the script and just go with the feeling of adapting to the situation!”

“… … .”

“You guys wrote it anyway, so why do you think so hard! If you want to act, you have to have that kind of experience.”

We are idols who want to perform.

… However, due to the existence of numerous idols who can act, led by Bae Se-jin, counterarguments were impossible.

And even the leader… … .

“Oh, we are fine.”

“… … !”

… … So in conclusion… It is said that one game with a volume of over two and a half hours was out of the question.

‘It’s been 2.5 times.’

In addition, with three versions, bad ending, gag ending, normal ending, true ending, and hidden ending, the actual play time has increased tremendously.

Thanks to that, it seemed that aggro had increased three times more than planned.

If you do anything, crazy noises about games come out and streaming keeps popping up, so it stays hot for a few days.

– These days, a hot testa game.. I tried it too.

-Do you guys know that? In the laboratory, if Rabin doesn’t check even once, there is a route to an accident. Bottle riots, big mental

riots .

is not

Most of them end up just laughing at short videos or edited video fans’ reactions.

‘It’s not even a mobile game in the first place, it’s a package game, so what kind of popularity does it have?’

In addition, it is a completely expanded concept of the music video worldview for fan sniping.

This would have been a significant help to album sales, but it wasn’t a huge blow.

‘Since streaming has also been released, it has the opposite effect of satisfying those who are moderately interested.’

However, it was very good that a new potential fan base was introduced by creating a lure through the game, and that the existing fans were satisfied… .

Got the most important thing.

-Wow, I never thought Testa would make a comeback like this hahaha

– I’ve already caught on to the title melody, and I’ve seen a lot of reactions hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

.

In addition, the chorus melody of the title song is inserted in the middle of the game, so anyone who has seen it once will be familiar with it, whether it is streaming or reaction.

‘I’d be satisfied if I could just listen to it once.’

And, as expected, Testa’s sound source ranking is not lacking compared to the previous time with T1’s crazy promotion on its back.

‘… ! yes.’

like this… Now that the news of the comeback has been announced, all we have to do is land the final blow on stage.

‘And just today.’

We will do our first comeback stage live. in over-the-air broadcasting.

“hmm.”

I laughed. It’s a pretty satisfactory result.

but… .

[Mr. Moondae! Are you interested in more serious games, testers? I’m wondering what it would be like if the characters of the testers briefly appeared in the gag ending as cameos in our next work… .]

“It’s okay. It’s really fine.”

The people of the ruins industrial complex seem to have come to regard us as another ally… Think again later

* * *

“… yes. thank you.”

Bae Se-jin thanked the other person over the phone once again.

It was a director who readily accepted his contact even though it had been a while.

The last time he directed a drama in which he made a cameo appearance as a shaman.

As a child actor, he was also a member of the crew of 10 million films in which he appeared as a baby shaman.

She made her place.

So he was able to try a difficult request by meeting film crews he knew from his childhood days.

‘… You did well to show courage.’

It was an unbelievable forced march, but… Still, it seemed like it was the first time I had contributed so much to the team.

‘Because the reaction was good… .’

Now I just have to work hard on stage. It was time for him to make a decision about this activity once again.

-I remember? When you were young, you suddenly shed tears like chicken poop on the filming set, and all the adults were taken aback.

– Yes Yes?

-You said ‘I was holding on to my emotions, why is that?’ Very bold and a baby.

“eww… Great yes.”

Bae Se-jin barely held back his cough.

Director, who was happily talking about memories, suddenly muttered in a low voice.

-also… what a waste. Such a waste.

“… … .”

-I really liked it while filming this time Sejin-ah. Jeongjin also said it was nice to see you after a long time.

“ah.”

Bae Se-jin recalled an actor who played the role of a driver in the prologue scene.

He was his senior when he was a child actor.

‘… You did a good job.’

It was a time when I was immersed in the memories of that time.

– My older sister caught a really good script this time.

A direct suggestion came from over the phone.

-You’re old now, don’t you think you’ll try?

“… … !”

It was 30 minutes before Testa’s first comeback stage live.
