"Of course, I will," Viktor added warmly with a smile. "I'll make sure to inform you from the moment the project starts."
As Marcus left, Viktor murmured, "Although there was some program change, it doesn't seem that bad."
He was originally planning to continue his camera research today, especially since all the materials he ordered had arrived, but even so, one late journey doesn't matter—he has finished the complete script now anyway.
At the same time, collaborating with a professional writer has given him some insights. He doesn't have to worry much in the future if he wants to write other stories of his world.
Viktor, who accompanied Marcus to the door, went directly to the dining hall when he returned. He was a little hungry and didn't understand why Marcus didn't wait to eat before leaving, but anyway, he started eating.
After eating, Viktor thought it was time to talk about the band with Lisandra. If it were in a later generation, this would be the step for a video call or meeting.
He could impress her by playing some tunes, but unfortunately, it wasn't until later in the decade, with improvements in internet speeds and the proliferation of smartphones and laptops with built-in cameras, that video calling became more common.
Now, he will first upload his video to YouTube, then share the link on the page where he posted the announcement. If Lisandra accepts his invitation, he will also add the link to her recently popular cover video. This will help them attract more members.
Now, Viktor was thinking about which song from his previous life he wanted to play in this video. What he needed to show wasn't skill because he wasn't skilled, but rather a catchy melody.
It's really difficult to choose among the many melodies of his previous life; it was a happy problem.
Anyway, it's only 8:30 PM; he will have to record the video and share it today. He can't waste more time like this.
"Ahh! Let's go with this song; anyway, it has a good melody, but unfortunately, there's no other accompaniment."
After choosing the song, Viktor thought about what if some people wanted to plagiarize the song? After all, it would take at least four to five months before creating the official song, and by that time, many other artists could kind of plagiarize it.
It was at this time that he noticed another benefit of having a big entertainment company backing you—they all have their ways to protect themselves.
Viktor then set the camera. When everything was ready, as he was only playing the guitar, he was also humming while playing, showing that he already had a clear melody in his head.
When he finished recording, it was time to do the editing. Since videos at this time were very rough and not of very good quality, he didn't have to do much, plus his camera was also of high quality.
When he was about to post the video on YouTube, he had a flash of inspiration about something he hadn't thought of but could help him totally convince Lisandra, attract more people, and give him more options.
If you were to ask people who don't know he is a transmigrator what his biggest advantage is if he wants to create a band, what would they say?
Is it because of his guitar skill? Because he is a genius? No!
His biggest advantage is his strong connection with Luminara Media.
This means he can assure them that they will have plenty of opportunities; as long as their skills aren't bad, they have a 50% chance of success.
Basically, they can rest assured—they have a little assurance for the future. He decided, why not add that he had reached an agreement with Luminara Media, and the media giant would officially sponsor the band after it was founded?
Viktor didn't hesitate and directly posted the video. At the same time, he added in the description that they had already reached an agreement with Luminara Media.
As for whether it's true or not, and whether he is abusing his identity, he didn't care—he was just using any weapon at his disposal.
After posting the video, it was time for the final step—convincing Lisandra.
At the same time, while Viktor was about to start his discussion with Lisandra, there was someone in the United States who was having trouble with his future.
Peter's POV
"Sigh!" Thinking about the fact that I impregnated a girl, I couldn't help but sigh.
Life is really not going easy on me. It was just a one-shot, but I hit the mark. You know, as a 20-year-old man, it was my first time, and only three weeks later, my girlfriend was pregnant.
Although I can't help but doubt if the child is mine, I didn't show it on the surface or plan to leave since I have doubts. Why?
As someone who grew up fatherless, my father abandoned my mother after she was pregnant. I can't do the same. At the very least, I must have a test and confirm. If it is really my child, I will take responsibility.
Another problem I'm having right now, like more than 70% of people in the world, is the lack of enough money.
I didn't do things like joining a gang, becoming a thug, or anything that could make my mother worried, but even so, I dropped out of school at 16.
I habitually do jobs like bar waiter, working in a convenience store, and playing on the street with my band until it disbanded last year.
It was also last year that I met my current girlfriend. She was a university student and was performing on the street to earn some money. We hit it off just like that and started officially dating three months ago.
Although with our excellent talents, we are earning a good amount of money, it's not the way to go. American streets can lack anything but not talent like ours.
Until now, we don't have a stable source of income. My girlfriend is also in her sophomore year, and with the pregnancy, we have to find a new way to earn money.
It was at this time that I came across a video of a man playing the guitar on YouTube, a new platform that's starting to become popular recently.
I can't really tell how his skills are, but just from the melody, I can tell that if the song were complete, with drummers and other band members, it would be cool.
Then I saw in the description that he is looking for people who want to join his band, and he has already reached an agreement with Luminara Media—they will be the sponsor of the group.
Although I'm confident in my talent, with so many years without success, I understand that talent doesn't mean anything. It just gives you a higher starting point than others.
With the mentality of giving it a try, I sent the best video of me and my girlfriend performing, along with a little introduction about our experience.
