Now That I Have Become a Woman, I Am a Vtuber - Chapter 558
Recording, practicing choreography, and planning the music video.
The progress of the new song “Toy Love” has been going very smoothly.
Since a professional composer is directing it, I think everything will continue to flow smoothly like this until the activities start…
Well, if there’s one problem.
“What about the next guest?”
“You’ll have to think hard about it.”
It must be my responsibility.
These days, I’ve been racking my brain over YouTube-related matters.
It’s been days since the video featuring Kang Yun-sung as the guest was uploaded.
I’m still contemplating the next guest.
The guest after next will likely be the unit members coinciding with the release of “Toy Love.”
But in the meantime, I’m struggling with which guest to invite.
I’ve already had an actor, a composer, and an idol as guests.
It’s a bit awkward to use Lee Kang-jun as a guest.
And I can’t contact another friend who is an actor since Moon Chang-sik has only appeared twice.
Moreover, the community is complaining that only men have appeared.
Finding a guest is quite a dilemma.
As I slumped in the car, deep in thought.
“If you’re really worried…”
Park Kang-seok, who was watching me through the rearview mirror, spoke up.
“Do you have a good idea?”
“What about the videos we filmed? The footage is piling up slowly.”
“The videos mean… Oh, the daily life ones?”
“Yes, I think we can share some of that.”
“Um… okay.”
Come to think of it, Park Kang-seok had been diligently filming with a camera.
The videos shot in the car are mostly small talk, which might not be very useful, but the hectic schedule and song-related activities could provide enough material.
“That’s a good idea.”
So, I immediately adopted that idea.
**
[So, are we editing the daily life video?]
“Yes, I thought it would be fine.”
After adopting Park Kang-seok’s idea,
I immediately called Shin-young Lee and explained it thoroughly.
If we’ve uploaded three videos, it wouldn’t hurt to fill one with my daily life, right?
This is what we call face management in professional terms.
Well, besides, my daily life doesn’t contain anything that would cause subscribers to drop.
In fact, many people might enjoy this content!
[Mmm… I think it should be okay.]
“Right?”
[Of course, we need to see the recorded footage.]
“Oh, of course.”
Shin-young Lee seemed to share the same thought as me.
A positive response came through the phone.
Moreover, this kind of daily life video might be difficult for the editing team.
Considering the hours of footage from the car that Park Kang-seok had been carrying around, editing it would be quite labor-intensive.
Well, the team is big and they’ve had a break, so it should be fine.
Most importantly, it’s not just any video; it’s the daily life video of the great actor Kim Soo-hyun!
They’ll be looking at my face the whole time, so that’s a reward in itself.
[Then I’ll take the lead on this.]
“Yes, I look forward to working with you.”
After that, I wrapped up the conversation smoothly with Shin-young Lee, who would never imagine I was having such cheeky thoughts.
This has reduced my guest worries.
Moreover, with the daily life video, Miro fans who’ve been upset about the lack of broadcasts lately will also enjoy it.
A win-win situation.
I’ll have to use this each time the cooldown period comes around.
Well, anyway.
“We have arrived.”
While solving the issue about the next video,
the car hastily moved and reached the destination.
“You got here quickly.”
“The traffic was fine.”
Today, we arrived at a studio in Gyeonggi to shoot pre-planned music video scenes.
“I’ll park right in the parking lot.”
“Yes, okay.”
Before entering the studio, I spotted two vans and one expensive sedan already waiting in the parking lot.
The vans must belong to the members.
Is the sedan the composer’s car?
Whatever it is, I arrived the latest.
“Let’s go quickly.”
“Understood.”
Since the composer mentioned wanting behind-the-scenes footage of the shoot.
I took the camera again and went inside.
“Welcome! You can go inside.”
“Yes.”
After entering with Park Kang-seok,
a male staff member who was already there guided us.
The building looked quite well-decorated from the entrance.
There were paintings on the walls, and the colors of the doors, floors, and ceilings varied, giving it an artistic feel.
I heard that the studio was borrowed through a friend of the composer, and I already like it.
“Is she here?”
As I walked in,
I ran into Seol Woo-yeon, who was admiring the wall alone.
“Why are you here?”
“Um, I was just looking at the wall. It’s pretty.”
Seol Woo-yeon seems to have an interest in art.
Her eyes sparkled as she looked at the painted wall.
“Do you like paintings?”
“Me? I love them a lot.”
Seeing her unable to take her eyes off the painting, I thought I might draw something for her later.
I do have some skills in that area.
Well, anyway.
“Let’s go inside.”
“Yes, okay.”
Since we ran into each other in the hallway, I took Seol Woo-yeon with me into the studio.
Then, the well-prepared set caught our eyes.
“Wow….”
“It’s well-decorated.”
Both Seol Woo-yeon and I admired the decorated set.
In line with the concept of “Toy Love,” the set featured various toy models in large sizes.
When I touched them, they didn’t feel like real toys, but rather seemed to be made of styrofoam and were lightweight.
Still, they looked no different from real toys.
As I attentively examined a toy robot nearby, I snatched a toy sword that was in my hand.
“Ooh….”
It’s light and nice?
Considering it’s made of styrofoam, it looks quite cool.
Swish.
As I swung the sword around while playing with it for a moment.
“…why are you doing that?”
Seol Woo-yeon looked at me with a cold stare from beside me.
“What’s with that look?”
“What look…?”
The more I look at her, the more I feel like that lady…
must be expecting something from me.
“What’s wrong with playing with a toy?”
“…I didn’t say anything.”
If she expects something and then gets disappointed, that would be quite troublesome.
Well, this might be the tragedy of being a famous celebrity.
“Woo-yeon.”
“Yes?”
“Admiration is the furthest emotion from understanding.”
“…What?”
That’s the only thing I can tell to a junior celebrity.
If you admire me as a great person, you can’t stand beside me.
No matter how high up you are, you need to try to understand to stand shoulder to shoulder.
Besides, this was a quote I wanted to bring up casually at some point.
I thought I had said it well when the timing was right.
“What does that mean….”
Seol Woo-yeon stared at me with a bewildered expression.
She seemed to be hearing it for the first time; could she not know this?
“Have you not seen Bleach?”
“What’s that?”
…She genuinely doesn’t know?
Wow, seriously.
What are we going to do with these kids nowadays?
“Don’t you know One-Noble?”
“I’ve heard of it; it’s a Japanese manga, right?”
“But you don’t know about Bleach?”
“Uh… Oh, is One-Noble Bleach?”
Seeing Seol Woo-yeon still looking puzzled, I lost my words.
This is really a big issue.
Kids who grew up without watching shonen manga have become adults.
Since ancient times, people have said not to discuss serious matters with those who haven’t read “Romance of the Three Kingdoms” or “One-Noble.”
I wonder if it’s okay to shoot a music video with such an MZ?
“…Not knowing is just fine.”
“Uh, do I have to watch it?”
“Look it up when you have time later.”
Well, anyway.
After that, I returned the toy sword to its place.
Next, I met the composer and his two students.
“Composer, do you know Bleach?”
“Of course. I enjoyed watching it.”
“Right?”
Fortunately, the composer seems to belong to a generation that has watched Bleach.
“Those two….”
“Is there anyone who hasn’t seen it?”
“I’ve seen it too.”
It looks like both Lee Kang-jun and Jeong-hoon have seen it as well.
Phew… So the world hasn’t completely twisted yet.
I was shocked to hear Seol Woo-yeon hadn’t seen it.
It seems she’s the odd one out.
“Oh? When did Soo-hyun arrive?”
“I just got here.”
Anyway, after that, after the other unit members joined,
we heard the filming plan in detail once more.
“Today’s shoot is….”
As you can see from the set,
the concept of the music video we’re shooting today is about girls inside toys—a rough idea of that nature.
While describing how toys evoke love amidst the toys scattered around us,
we will dance and act according to the flowing song.
“I believe you will do well.”
“Yes, yes, since there are only two actors here, don’t worry.”
“Uh, uh? Me too?”
“You’ve already been cast in a role, haven’t you?”
There was no big worry about the music video itself.
As I said, there are only two actors here, right?
One of which is even an internationally recognized great actor.
Acting in a music video is as easy as breathing.
Of course.
There are problems, but none that are completely unavoidable.
If I had to point one out….
“This is something you have to hear today….”
The acting I have to do is a bit awkward for me.
“Oh, yes….”
I replied while receiving a large bear plush toy from the staff.
“…It’s big.”
“Yes, yes, it was specially made, but it will still be a bit heavy.”
No, the weight isn’t the issue…
I have to hold this and shoot the music video?
I examined the bear plush toy in front of me, which was about the height of a person.
I had heard when planning the music video that we would be using an actual bear plush toy.
But I didn’t expect to receive something this big.
“Understood….”
I sighed internally as I hugged the large bear plush toy handed to me by the staff.
“It’s soft….”
The bear plush toy was incredibly soft to the touch.
…I wanted to just hold it and run home.
