1st Year Max Level Manager chapter 105
- Volume 5 Episode 5

105. Chart Wars 1

TK Enter's PR office.

Jinmyung Yoo, the PR team leader, who had been obsessed with monitoring to the point where his eyes fell, breathed a sigh of relief when all of Petitmo's 5th album landed at the top of the music charts.

"Chief! Five songs, all succeeded in entering the top 10 on the charts!"

"Of course it is."

TK Enter not only the music video for Petitmo's new song   Masked Ball ,

Second, I uploaded two music videos up to   Midnight Princess for two days in a row.

Thanks to that, we achieved the feat of placing all five songs on real-time music sites in the top 10.

However, behind the scenes, Ma Dong-pal's invisible hand was moving.

Ma Dongpal brought a famous producer named Teddy Kim for this 5th Petitmo album.

However, there was another reason for Ma Dong-pal to bring Teddy Kim with him other than his outstanding skills.

This is because Teddy Kim has a close relationship with a music chart manipulator, so she can easily make the charts.

It is not the time to be relieved yet. Let's pour out our silver firepower for a while."

Yes. All right.

At Ma Dong-pal's instructions, the PR team leader Eugene Myung sent a Kakao message to somewhere.

Ji Eun-hak, the director of Singer Room 1, who saw the scene, sneaked up to her side.

"Chief. Do I really have to do this? outsiders like teddy

Running is a bit...

"Is it dangerous?"

Yes. The responsibility may eventually be borne by the general manager."

Ma Dong-pal looked at Director Ji Eun-hak with cold eyes.

"So, you have to do your best not to be known. is not it?

At Ma Dong-pal's low voice, Ji Eun-hak hurriedly looked around.

Digital music hoarding is the act of manipulating music rankings through brokers.

Usually, you pay the broker

It refers to changing the music rankings using hundreds of mobile phones and illegal programs.

Usually, small and medium-sized entertainment companies that lack a fandom are hoarding music.

However, it was quite unusual for a large company at the TK level to undertake such an unreasonable task.

It was a sensitive topic, so I was worried that someone might have heard it, but it seems like everyone was busy with their work, so they didn't hear it.

Or maybe he was just pretending not to know.

gulp.

Director Ji Eun-hak, who swallowed dry saliva, once again delivered his last words.

"As the head of the department knows, depending on the situation, I also do more serious work than hoarding. But right now, there is no competitor, so isn't it a good situation to monopolize the sound source? Why the hell do you have such an irrational number at the same time now?"

Potential competitor Girl Friends 7, which was scheduled to be launched today, has undergone a complete rework due to the composer's plagiarism claim, and is unable to even make a debut.

became

And Golden Road, a strong competitor, said that a new song would be released after a month or so.

But Ji Eunhak couldn't quite understand why he put such an irrational number.

Ma Dong-pal, who was listening to the story, hardened his impression.

"Chief Ji. What about Cherry Blossom?"

Ma Dong-pal said that he changed the comeback date because of Cherry Blossom.

But Ji Eun-hak did not believe it.

I'll just step on a girl group like the 2nd.

Because it was not common sense to change Petitmo's schedule.

Rather, he thought that there might be other numbers of Ma Dong-pals that he was unaware of.

And that wasn't just the idea of a crane built by TK Enter.

"What makes them special

haha. this is true Director Ji, do you think my words are like a joke?"

Ma Dong-pal's smiling expression hardened coldly.

At that moment, Ji Eun-hak stopped.

"That, then. for another reason

No, are you really saying it's because of cherry blossom?"

Ma Dong-pal clicked his tongue and called the head of the PR team.

"Captain Yu. What is the current Cherry Blossom new song number?"

Yoo Jin-myung, the head of the PR team in front of the monitor, hesitated and hesitated to answer.

say. How high are you?"

Jin-myung Yoo, the public relations team leader who was watching the two bosses, finally spoke up.

"Seventh place."

what? 7th place?"

Ji Eun-hak was surprised.

Cherry Blossom's new song, which I thought would be out of the ranking, ranked 7th in one day.

When he slowly turned his head, Ma Dong-pal's face was very contorted.

'X is done.'

Ji Eun-hak, who swallowed his saliva, had a complicated mind.

He was bragging about it, but he was the one who didn't know the reality.

"You, the singer of the 1st room, didn't even check the rankings of these preliminary competitors.

do you I was very hungry."

"Sorry, I'm sorry."

"If you know, go away."

Ma Dong-pal pushed Ji Eun-hak to the side in embarrassment.

Thinking of changing the first singer-songwriter soon.

"Captain Yu. So what's the YouTube trend right now? How many views did it get?"

It has been a long time since YouTube views have had a greater impact on weekend music rankings than broadcast views.

At the direction of Director Ma Dong-pal, team leader Yoo Jin-myung hastily checked the number of views of the two official music videos.

At that moment, once again, Ma Dong-pal and the TK Entertainment staff began to distort their expressions.

"Hey, why are you doing this!"

Cheer up! It is the reverse!"

Cherry Blossom's new song   Hurry Up! surpassed Petitmo's   Masked Ball .

The percentage of likes was absolutely overwhelming.

Thanks to the company's publicity and YouTube's chemistry, the music chart soared to 7th at once.

[Melang Chart]

1st place Petitmo   Masked Ball

2nd place Petitmo   Midnight Princess

5th place Petitmo   Magic Music Witch

#7 Cherry Blossom   Hurry Up!

what? Are you really number 7?"

When   Hurry Up! quickly climbed the rankings, Director Lee Dong-min couldn't hide his happy smile.

Team leader Han Myeong-ho and PR team leader Min-seok Seong started to make press releases in a hurry.

"In just one day, I was already in 7th place. Are you really going to make an accident like this?"

"Hey. It's going up."

But I was not satisfied at all.

Before the return,   Hurry Up! started at number 15 and climbed to number one in three days.

No matter how Petitmo mobilized the power of the fandom, the number of YouTube views has already been reversed, and it is still 7

stomach?

In addition, all the songs on Petitmo's album were lined up from 1st to 5th.

It was kind of weird.

Currently, the top real-time search term on the portal is 'Jung Yu-jin cover video'.

And third place is 'Smile Cherry Blossom Cover Video'.

In addition, 'Park Seon-nyeo's bizarre cover video of aerobics students was causing another issue as it ranked second in the real sword.

The real sword ranking is high, but the music ranking

fall?

This is impossible no matter how much the fandom, Petit Angel, is moving.

The high ranking of the actual sword means that the interest of the public, which is an unspecified majority, is higher.

And in that case, it is always reflected in the sound source score.

It's human psychology that I want to hear what kind of song it is.

When I had doubts, I immediately asked Team Leader Sung Min-seok.

"I am, Chief. Is it real-time from the moment Hurry UP enters?

Can I see the ranking graph table?"

uh. for a moment. There must have been something recorded in 10 minute increments... . Deputy Park. Where is the file?"

Yes. Here it is."

Yes? Then put it on the wall in the conference room."

Park Jin-seong, assistant manager of the PR team, displayed a real-time graph on the LCD wall of the conference room.

Cherry Blossom's new song   Hurry Up! debuted at #15.

After that, the rankings will come up quickly.

gone

However, something strange caught my eye.

uh? Why are you like that over there?"

Yesterday around 3 am.

All five of Petitmo's songs were temporarily pushed back from 3rd to 10th for about 10 minutes.

The 1st place   Masked Ball took 4th place.

2nd place   Midnight Princess is 7th place.

However, at that time, Hurry Up! was in fifth place.

"Well. It must be a counting error."

It was a graph with only one ranking reversal, but at that moment, my doubts turned into certainty.

Music hoarding.

Unbelievable, Petitmo must have been doing that.

I immediately reported my opinion to Director Lee Dong-min.

"Chief. I don't think this is a good thing."

why? Are the indicators good? Maybe you didn't know, but I looked it up, and since the entry chart results are like this, will it be enough to get 5th place in just 3 days?

"No, not us, but Petitmo."

I said that Cherry Blossom would take first place, but everyone seems to think that it is just my wish.

I immediately asked the name of the other producer who asked me to look into it last time.

"How did it go when you asked me to find out who the producer was over there?"

"Oh, what? Did you say Teddy Kim?"

After working for an American label for a while, TK General Manager Ma Dong-pal went to

It is said that he brought

Teddy Kim?

Only then did I seem to understand why Petitmo's song had changed.

1 year later.

Teddy Kim is the person who is being arrested for reporting the case of music manipulation by reporter Jang Moon-gi.

After checking the diary and confirming that my memory is correct, I spoke to Director Lee Dong-min.

"Chief. Talk to me for a second."

why?

Wait. This way."

I led the arm of Director Lee Dong-min and headed for the emergency stairs.

Director Lee Dong-min looked around and lowered his voice.

why? Are you going to tell me some secret?"

"It's not like that, I think TK is hoarding music."

Director Lee Dong-min tilted his head.

a. How easy is it to buy a petite mo in the world? Anyway, it went too far."

"Didn't you see the graph was bent earlier? It was obviously a mistake while manipulating the sound source."

Director Lee Dong-min was lost in thought.

But then he shook his head.

It is said that there is no way for a popular girl group like Petitmo to manipulate the sound source.

Prejudice is so terrifying.

"Yunho. I know well that you worked hard, but 7th place was good, right? Wait a little longer. The rankings will naturally go up."

Cherry Blossom's 2nd album entered the charts at #130, and ended up reaching #30.

Compared to then, it is now a paradise.

In response to Director Lee Dong-min's response, I asked, wondering if it was possible.

"Chief. Then, have you ever listened to Petitmo's album this time?"

"I've heard it."

Better than "Hurry Up!'? I didn't like it."

"Honestly, I'm not too fond of it. But what would I do with the rankings telling the facts?"

"Then why does YouTube have such views? Okay, what's the number? Even the high ranking of the sword proves that our children have an advanced interest.

are you And take a look at the YouTube comments."

In order to persuade Director Lee Dong-min, he posted comments on the official channels of the two YouTube music videos.

- Hip-hop female warrior? It doesn't go well with Petitmo's image... .

- It's not bad, but it's not as good as the 4th house.

-What do you expect from idol hip-hop?

-Hunkyunjil LL hip jokes

It now has 1.5x more views and 5x more likes.

There is also an extreme difference in response to comments.

Director Lee Dong-min, who saw the data, frowned.

"Ah, no matter what

"Didn't you hear about Teddy Kim? It is said that the reason that each song that that person took on ranks high is because of manipulating the music rankings."

At the same time, I mentioned some cases that I was aware of before the regression.

Director Lee Dong-min's expression began to change after hearing my story.

"Actually, I didn't even think it was weird

Director Lee Dong-min, who hesitated for a moment, made a firm expression.

Follow me. I think we should all talk about it."

I went into the conference room again with Director Lee Dong-min.

"Everyone stopped what they were doing and went to the conference room.

Gather."

Shortly thereafter, a meeting was held on the topic that Teddy Kim would have ordered music stockpiling.

Dispute.

From the claim that TK Enter would do such a dangerous thing, to the story that Teddy Kim seems to have had such a scandal from a long time ago.

However, in the end, opinions were gathered in the direction of checking.

Director Lee Dong-min looks at me again.

"Dr. Jeong. Maybe a reporter who will dig this

Anyone know? If not, leave it to someone I know."

There is.

Yes? Then leave it to the reporter for now. Follow-up reports are thorough."

Yes. Manager."

Music source sajaegi is a suspicion that can make the opponent difficult even if there is only plausible circumstantial evidence even if there is no confirmation.

"Let's all mobilize our networks and run on our feet. If you come up with a usable sauce, cross-check it and toss it to Deputy Jung."

Yes. Manager!"

The eyes of the members of the PR team and singer room 2 began to flash.

madong arm.

We even stocked up on music sources to step on our Cherry Blossom, right?

'Take a bite to eat. Magical arm.'

I immediately called reporter Jang Moon-gi.

It was Jang Moon-ki who uncovered Teddy Kim's music manipulation case.
