The Famous Millionaire Chapter 156

Other staff showed the same reaction.

“Wow. I didn’t know a music genius was right in front of us! How did he could compose this kind of song?”

“I can’t agree any more. We had better get his autograph in advance.”

“Oh, no, no. I’m flattered by your compliments,” said Jinhon, with his face full of smiles.

“Which version is the best? Personally, I love the second one, but others picked the fourth one, which you and Angela sang playfully.”

“Really? In fact, I enjoyed the fourth one the most. I was so happy while listening to it,” said Hyunwoo frankly.

When he said that, the other staff also agreed, saying though Jihon and Angela sung better on the fourth song, the song reflected their joy and pleasure much more than others.

As if he had decided, Jinhon pounded on the desk and said, “Good. Let me select the fourth version. Take a look at our dancing this time. I’ve created a new folder for this.”

Jinhon clicked into the folder ‘DANCE’ which held six files. He played each of them one by one.

Three of them were duet dancing of Jinhon and Angela, which featured a unique dancing style in the middle. Retracing his memory, Hyunwoo conjured up the image of the Ani & Funny kids doing random dances, which Jungah videotaped.

“You changed the dancing style a lot, compared with the last time,” said Hyunwoo.

“Interesting, isn’t it?”

Hyunwoo nodded, thinking, Hummm…When promoted well, this one might make a big hit.

“Did you create this dance on your own?” asked Hyunwoo.

“Yes, a friend of mine did. As for its bouncing style, she took her cue from the video clip Jungah sent. How about it?”

“Wonderful!” said Hyunwoo, thumbing up.

“By the way, can you use your friend’s dance creation without his approval? I guess such a creation is protected by something like copyright,” said Hyunwoo seriously.

“Hahaha. No worries between friends,” replied the guy casually, who created the dance.

However, Hyunwoo didn’t agree. He felt owners.h.i.+p of the creation should be clearly established between friends to prevent any possible trouble.

He felt the ‘Duckling Fly’ would probably hit gold. In that case, it was important to solve the issue of copyright early on while they were unknown, which would ensure there should be no trouble when they made their names known in the world.

“I don’t think so, guys. You guys are saying so because you’re friends, but that’s unacceptable to me. Let me buy your dance creation. How much should I pay?” said Hyunwoo.

“No, no. In fact, I didn’t create that bouncing style of the dance.”

Though Jinhon’s friend refused Hyunwoo’s offer, Hyunwoo was serious. He took out a contract form on the computer and then printed it.

“Look at this. You should get your due reward for your creation. How long did you spend creating this dance?”

“Well, inspiration came instantly in my case, so you can’t measure it with money. If you really want to pay for my copyright, just give me 100,000 won. Hahaha.”

“No way, that’s too little,” said Hyunwoo, and then put down 200,000 won.

Then, he looked at Jinhon and his friend alternatively, who were both happy. They felt good not just because Hyunwoo paid the money but because their efforts were duly appreciated.

With a big smile, Hyunwoo then took up the pen again and added another number ‘0’ to 200,000. At that moment, Jinhon’s friend was stunned.

Hyunwoo showed him the contract, saying “I think this bouncing rhythm of your creation is worth at least 2 million won.”

“But this is too much…” he said, making an embarra.s.sed expression.

Holding the contract, Suljun Kim, Jinhon’s friend, gave him a puzzled look, as if he thought 2 million won was too large a sum.

Hyunwoo didn’t think so. Rather, he thought 2 million won was not enough. Suljun was trim and slender in figure. His dancing in the video was so natural. He even easily managed a difficult dancing skill. Jinhon said he could do any kind of dance once he was into it.

Looking at him, Hyunwoo said, “No, it’s not enough. Can you create lots of such creations and sell them to me? Let me buy them. By the way, put down your bank account number. Let me wire the money today.”

“Thanks so much,” said Jinhon’s friend, bowing to Hyunwoo.

As soon as Hyunoo knew his bank account number, he paid through online banking.

“Now, shall we videotape your dance? Let me have a professional video technician shoot your dancing.”

“Professional? I thought we were going to videotape it among us.”

In no time, Hyunoo called Kw.a.n.gsu Hang, the owner of Real Film.

“Brother Kw.a.n.gsu, are you fully tied up these days?

“Of course! I’m working through the night these days to edit what we filmed in Vietnam.”

“When are you going to finish the job?”

“I want to finish it by the end of this month. What’s up?”

“Well, I’ve got a favor to ask of you. I want to give you some work to do.”

“Oh my G.o.d, man. You’re really giving me a hard time, hahaha.”

With a hearty laugh, Hyunwoo said, “Hahaha, sorry, brother. Just give me one day to work with you. It’s about shooting an amateur music video, so it will be done quickly.”

Kw.a.n.gsu was stunned to hear the word ‘music video’ from Hyunwoo. What he heard from Hyunwoo was all about animation, not music videos.

When Hyunwoo told him all about the music video, Kw.a.n.gsu understood the situation.

“Okay, then. Let me shoot it this weekend. As I have to finish it in one day, tell them they have to be fully prepared.”

“Got it. There is a music alternative school called Todolyipyo(Repeat Sign) on the outskirts of Suwon City. Please come to that place.”

On Sat.u.r.day morning, Hyunwoo took Jinhon and Angela to the alternative school. Some elderly women including Mrs. Hong insisted they follow him, complaining that they wre too bored at home.

“Okay, you can come with me, but you should stay silent as we have to shoot a music video,” said Hyunwoo.

“Got it. We heard you,” said Mrs. Hong in a loud voice.

But he was really concerned about her because she just couldn’t sit idle when she saw or heard something that aroused her interest.

After he was rea.s.sured by her that she would not cause any trouble, he left for the school to meet Kw.a.n.gsu at 11 am. Kw.a.n.gsoo was already waiting for them.

“Oh, brother, you arrived already. Have I kept you waiting long?”

“Well, I got here a bit early to prepare for the shooting. Who are these seniors anyway?”

Hyunwoo sought his generous understanding, explaining the situation.

“As I repeatedly asked them to keep silent during the shooting, they will quietly enjoy it. Is that okay?”

“Sure. By the way, are these guys partic.i.p.ating in the music video? Oh, she is beautiful. Is she a new idol singer?”

Hyunwoo briefed him about Angela without mentioning her sad family history. Instead, he focused on Jinhon’s precious a.s.sociation with her back in Vietnam.

Instantly, Kw.a.n.gsoo looked at her with a sad look, which Hyunwoo stopped, “No, no, That will remind her of her painful memories, brother.”

“Oh, you’re right. If she is in a sad mood, that will affect the shooting.”

Kw.a.n.gsu went right into the shooting.

As soon as Jinhon played the music, Kw.a.n.gsu opened his mouth all of a sudden as if he was stunned. “Wow, this is great. Did you compose the song on your own?”

It was not just his pleasantries. Kw.a.n.gsu was long recognized for his musical taste and discernment. In the past, he was involved in several music programs and the production of a famous singer’s music video

As such, he could immediately figure out the worth of a song after listening just once.

“How about it, brother?” asked Hyunwoo.

“Wow, this song is very catchy. I really feel it’s going to make a great hit if we record it properly and present it in the music market.”

“That’s why I turned to you, brother. Please make a great music video of it.”

“Sure, don’t worry. Shall we start now?”

Kw.a.n.gsu was a veteran in this field. He coached the dancers kindly on their dancing.

Watching Jinhon and Angela dance, he asked them for more variances.

“Hey, your expression is too stiff. Don’t think I’m filming your dance. Just a.s.sume you’re here for the fun. You guys were pretty good at singing and dancing, but your expression looks so serious.”

Kw.a.n.gsoo continued to emphasize their natural feelings, so did Hyunwoo.

“Hey, guys. You’re only amateurs at this point. You are not doing this for any commercial marketing. Just enjoy it as if you are now making special memories here.”

At Hyunwoo’s prodding, Jinhon and Angela brightened their look and began to dance playfully without caring about the camera at all.

But what Hyunwoo was really concerned about took place. As the music was so exciting, with the young kids also dancing to the tune, she stood up and began to move her body rhythmically. Watching her, other elderly women also stood up one by one and began to imitate Mrs. Hong.

Hyunwoo hastily tried to stop them, but Kw.a.n.gsu dissuaded him, pointing his fingers to another spot. There he found two auxiliary cameras filming the women dancing.
