The stage or contest given as a penalty in
It was to take a famous meme that was popular as a trend or a steady seller and reinterpret it or reproduce it as it was.
'So far, T-Holic has done half of it.'
In fact, it might have been because they often let guests win. And because these guys were so funny and well-selected, even if directing or coaching went well with the guests, there was a strong perception T-Holic was 'Original'.
Then, what was the most important thing to pay attention to when composing this stage?
"The following is a draft that I gave a drum sound to and reconstructed the beat."
Oorurung!
When the accompaniment sounded like a well-placed exhaust sound, Cha Eugene's eyes flashed.
"This is great! Let's do this!"
"Wait a minute."
I stopped Cha Eugene.
"Let's listen to something else."
"Okay, then I'll play number 3."
The thing to be careful of was that we shouldn't do it blindly.
'If we just do well, they'll say it's no fun.'
What viewers expected was a funny stage, but if we did well without a smile, there was a high probability that they would think, 'This shouldn't count.'
It was none of those people's business that we put our whole bodies into making it with only a week left.
'For a story like that to work, it has to be a survival story.'
It was a sound that was unheard of in general entertainment programs.
However, blindly aiming for laughter was not the best solution.
'The guys in the past were funny already.'
It would be faster to find those who were not funny and had become solemn. The directors were resourceful and well-organized.
If TeStar followed this trend as well, it would only be absorbed by the program's good reputation.
-As expected, Show Business is relentless, even to TeStar ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Ah, it's so fun. I didn't expect to see TeStar doing something like this.
-Show Business, please call our kids again, promise… *^^*
Wouldn't the angle of response that people expected from the program roughly come out?
'They even gave us a list of recommendations.'
I passed the candidates for the 'memorable animation theme song' given by the production team with my eyes.
Motorcycle racing cartoons, greek and Roman mythology cartoons, detective cartoons…
'What I just heard is the mystery cartoon opening…'
Kim Raebin changed this into a nice rhythm with a hard-boiled taste. In other words, it wasn't funny at all. It was just cool.
The next song was the same.
"I like this music!"
"I know."
The next was the theme song of a Greek mythology cartoon, but it was arranged so that it was easy to listen to, so it was an easy-listening indie band song.
And only then did I realize my mistake.
First of all, it was the wrong idea to look at the arrangement and set the direction.
'In the first place, this was how he was directed to make it.'
At the order of 'arranging the animation theme song to fit TeStar's stage', Kim Raebin really only made such arrangements.
They weren't funny at all, they were sophisticated.
'No, I don't think it would be easy for this guy to make a low-quality, funny arrangement in the first place…'
Of course, since he had a sense, he should be able to replicate them if he came across a few references, but it was definitely not something he specialized in.
Especially in this state where he said, 'It looks like it would be fun,' and he drafted arrangements for all of the candidate songs… I thought that he'd be discouraged by the high probability.
"How is it? It may sound a bit clunky as I haven't done any detailed adjustments and mixing yet, but I think the important delivery has been done!"
"Yes. It's definitely easy to listen to."
"Thank you!"
Okay. This guy was totally excited.
'We don't have much time.'
If I said something useless, Kim Raebin would get confused and say, 'Funny… Music?' And that'd be a headache.
First of all, I listened to all three songs Kim Raebin chose and was immersed in my thoughts.
The purpose of the video.
'Why were only cartoons that went viral on WeTube listed as candidate songs?'
I wanted to stop talking about this generation, but… Anyway, it was a choice aimed at Generation Z who watched the popular videos, or Generation M who watched the cartoons themselves when they were young.
After all, the target… Consensus and popularity in terms of content.
'Hmm.'
It was when I was rubbing my chin.
Cha Eugene asked without hesitation.
"Moondae hyung! Do you not like this?"
"… !"
Damn.
"… ! Please point out my shortcomings and I will correct them!"
Kim Raebin was startled, and then stood up like a private soldier.
'Was I too quiet?'
Well, any savvy guy could tell that I wasn't quite happy with it. I was careless because it was Kim Raebin.
At times like this, the more comfortable the reaction, the less serious the atmosphere. I shrugged.
I just thought of a way.
"The arrangements are good… I don't think these are cartoon songs that you guys know. I wonder if you know."
"I don't know!"
"I've watched Detective Arthur, but I've only heard of the others in passing."
Cha Eugene asked brightly.
"Do you know them? Have you watched them?"
… Right. Park Moondae was only two years older than these guys.
I came up with a common-sense answer.
"… I saw them on WeTube."
"Oh."
"Yes. For the stage… You are truly prepared!"
He got it wrong.
"Anyway, I like the songs the production team gave us, but they aren't really related to us…"
I threw the bait.
"Wouldn't it be more fun if we did a song related to us?"
"Is there a song like that?"
"I like 'Billy's exciting animal tale'!"
It was the first American cartoon I had ever heard of.
I shook my head and spoke.
"We have to choose a cartoon that was famous in Korea before and after the 2000s. Because that's the penalty condition."
"Boo… ."
Because it was supposed to be a 'memorable cartoon theme song from the past'. In that sense, Cha Eugene's sensibility was dismissed.
'I wonder if this is enough.'
Instead, I showed them a WeTube video of the candidate song I just came up with.
Apparently, this also became a meme because of the creative gesture on TikTakTok.
"Therefore… How about this."
"… ?"
If this was the case, there was no need to go for a ridiculous arrangement by reducing Kim Raebin's motivation.
'There's no need for us to dress up in a funny way.'
It could be funny the other way around.
'The stage isn't funny, but the situation makes it funny.'
Humor in context.
So that the person who arranged it could comfortably immerse himself in it without thinking that it was funny.
"This… ah."
As expected, Kim Raebin's expression brightened.
"Okay. Surely… It can be a significant challenge. Please wait a moment!"
And Kim Raebin put on a headset and went to work.
'… On the ground without the original song?'
Anyway, it seemed that the fire had definitely ignited. I nodded.
'Is it okay?'
At that time, the last unit member next to me opened his mouth with a serious expression.
"Hyung."
Oh, this guy could be a problem.
I could tell that this was not Cha Eugene's taste.
"What?"
"Kim Raebin and hyung, do you guys really like this? Really?"
"Yes."
Cha Eugene watched the video once, then looked at Kim Raebin, and finally me, and sighed.
[Oh my god!]
What?
"This is a comedy stage which purpose is to be funny. This is good enough."
"I know! Oh…"
Cha Eugene smacked his lips a few times with a sad face, but soon shrugged his shoulders.
It was a declaration of surrender.
[Hyung. I'll really do this for the team. I never thought I would do something like this in my life.]
I chuckled. Got it, punk.
"Here's the pitch…"
Kim Raebin worked hard to adjust the key and match the accompaniment, and came up with an arrangement of 1 minute and 24 seconds in half a day.
The early morning practice was fixed.
• * *
The scene was then cut, and the point where the actual episode of the debate with TeStar had just finished.
In reality, the penalty was filmed after a week's term, but in the broadcast, the penalty cut naturally followed TeStar's crazy defeat.
After the commercials, of course.
[What is the penalty stage prepared by TeStar?]
[Released in 60 seconds]
People who were already familiar with the tactic made various predictions and chattered in the gap.
- One vote for the stage that takes charge of Dionysus' excitement in a classic way
└ T-Holic.. has already done it..
└ ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└ At this point, respect
There were many funny songs and concepts that would come to mind when it came to nostalgic cartoons.
And because of the history of this program, it was always funny, so they already had the direction and feeling they expected.
- It seems to be directing the halo of the 90s
- Please save my face.
└ ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
It was the otherworldly sensibility that deliberately made use of B-class rusticity.
This program wasn't clumsy, and they knew how to faithfully reproduce this funny sensibility!
But when the screen returned after the interim advertisement…
-?
The three TeStar members were just standing in the studio in neat school uniforms.
The lighting that was stuck on TeStar who turned around was also a state-of-the-art sensibility. No other filters were included.
-What?
-This is TeStar's penalty, right?
At that moment, the song started with a bright and cheerful accompaniment.
Park Moondae, who was in the center made a symbolic gesture as he turned around.
[Dream of love conveyed through song]
[It starts now]
-?????
The gesture was the same as the transformation theme song of the 2001 magical girl animation,
A classic magical girl cartoon about becoming a magical girl with a melody and purifying enemies with a magical song.
TeStar, who realistically reproduced the school uniform without exaggerated makeup, grabbed a real microphone and started live.
-What is this?
-Is this live?
[Magical lights up!]
This cartoon had an original song, not an adaptation, thanks to the investment of an ambitious animation broadcasting station.
The theme song of the main character group.
It was the theme song of memories, neatly arranged so that it was perfect for listening to now.
The melody that almost everyone in their 20s and 30s knew was reproduced with original emotions.
[Putting love into a pure song]
[Heart bullet of flying magic!]
Because of those lyrics and movements, a reversal meme video for destroying children's hearts had been popular for a while. Thanks to that, even teenagers knew the original video.
However, TStar did not use the meme. It was just a faithful reproduction of the original animation.
Even in the chorus, they come out wearing nice-looking capes and gloves as stage props and continued the stage.
It was exactly the point at which the cape appeared in the full transformation scene of
[Open your heart LOVE]
[I will make a wish today]
TeStar worked really hard.
In terms of the reproduction rate and coolness of actual cartoons, it was better than any other video uploaded on the Internet. The singing, expression, and even the group dance were truly professional.
So it was even more funny.
-????????
- ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Hey, TeStar, they're so serious ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-The debate was too immersive, so the punishment was too immersive ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Is this the Magical Boy experience?
It was full of respect for the original singer!
The sincerity of those whose debut song was 'Magical Boy' covered 'Singing Magical Girl' wholeheartedly!
The viewers couldn't help but laugh because it was true overindulgence.
One of the members of T-Holic said, 'This is too far…' In the background with his arms crossed and question marks in his eyes.
-Fuck, Jintae's pupil earthquake ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Acknowledge the waste of talent at this point, masters
-TeStar, why are they so serious?
From the viewer's point of view, this was the culmination of 'sincere' emotions connected from the previous debate. People laughed helplessly.
[Draw a dream]
[The world is beautiful~]
The CG glitter effect was used only once, but even that was a hit because it was the same as the cartoon.
And there was a short interlude at the end of the stage.
The comment that appeared in the place where the program traditionally had subtitles for impressions was the highest peak.
[Melody Angel Pepperto, thank you for the wonderful song. I respect you. – Park Moondae]
[The concept of saving people with a song feels in line with our goal, so I worked hard to cover it. I'll cheer for you! – Kim Raebin]
[This is my first time seeing it, and everyone likes it. – Cha Eugene]
-What are they cheering for?
-Are they crazy ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Park Moondae is also a fan of soft and sweet, but even Melody Angel is his sunbaenim ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-I thought they were Generation Z, but they are the same age as me
-Cha Eugene, why is his message a cartoon review? ㅋㅋㅋ Ah really
The stage was cool, the interpretation was funny.
The three TeStar members finished the stage with a serious attitude until the end.
-What's really going on with TeStar?
- Their characters are unique ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
And the amount of buzz started to increase in the direction Park Moondae wanted.
