I Decided To Become a Perfect Girl

Chapter 44

44 – 14 years old (13)

Seven o’clock in the morning.

When I went out to the front door, there was a sedan other than manager Soyoung’s sister’s car.

The sedan’s window went down and I could see Yoo Young-ho, manager of the rookie development team, inside the car.

Manager Youngho said.

” Dohee, get on!”

This commercial was filmed in Gangneung.

Since we had to go on the highway, it seemed that manager Youngho, who is skilled in driving, was with us as our daily road manager.

I said hello and got into the passenger seat.

” Dohee. Did you eat breakfast?”

” Yes, I ate an apple and left.”

For fear of looking rich, I refrained from eating salty foods since yesterday evening.

” An apple? Would that be all right?”

I replied with a smile.

” If you’re really hungry, you can stop at a rest area on the way.”

” Yes, we have a lot of time, so let’s do that. You’ll be tired for now, but don’t worry about me and go to sleep.”

” Yep, thank you~ “

You can’t sleep because your face is swollen.

It’s been two and a half hours since we drove like that.

We arrived at a radiation store in Gangneung, where an Aeon Sweat commercial was filmed.

The filming location we arrived at was crowded with various vehicles and staff, just like when we filmed the ‘Remember’ music video.

I got out of the car, greeted the director and the staff as before, and moved to the makeup car to finish the makeup.

The coordination for this commercial was a combination of blue and white, just like the commercial image.

First of all, a sky blue windbreaker short-sleeved top and bottom and a white T-shirt underneath.

And white sneakers and white socks.

Long straight hair at the end.

It was a simple coordination that emphasized innocence.

The shooting I had to do today was as simple as coordinating.

Without having to go to another place, I just stood on the groyne and shot some cut scenes with the sea as the scenery.

I waited 2 hours for the filming to be ready after I finished my makeup.

We finally started filming.

” Let’s go to the first scene. Q. “

The director’s cue sign begins.

The camera started taking pictures of my profile.

I stood on the groyne and looked at the blue sea in front of me.

The director exclaimed.

” Now raise your head and look in the direction of the sun!”

It was a follow-up recording anyway, so it didn’t matter if outside sounds were included.

I looked up at the sun in the sky and, naturally, was dazzled and closed my eyes.

” Cut, even if your eyes are dazzled, please be patient and keep your eyes open.”

” Yes, I understand. “

After several attempts.

” Okay. Let’s go to the next scene.”

According to the director’s instructions, I filmed in sequence.

The scene of drinking a beverage.

The scene where he laughs with his hair blowing in the wind.

The scene of jumping in the background of the sea, etc.

Three days later.

I came to a recording studio in Seoul to record a commercial.

As I was practicing my diction while reading the script, the production staff sitting in front of the audio mixer, who looked like a recording director, said to me.

” Miss Dohee are you ready?”

” Yes, I’m ready.”

I went into the recording studio, put the script on the music stand, and put on my headset.

A recording studio where no sound can be heard.

The only time I heard sound was when the outside staff pressed the talkback button.

The voice of the outside staff coming into the headset.

– Hello. –

” Oh, yes. Hello. “

– I’ll take a look. Please take a seat and enter while watching the video. –

The staff told me to narrate according to the advertisement video played in front of me.

” Oh, is there a separate cue sign? “

– Yes, no. Please do it comfortably. –

From noble mtl dot com.

” Yes. “

Still, the approximate narration timing is written in the script, so you should refer to it and do it well.

– I’ll go. –

A commercial video with no narration started on the screen of the recording studio.

I spat out a few words.

” Spring. “

The timing was a bit off.

” Sorry. I’ll try again.”

– Yes, I’ll go again. –

The video starts again.

” Spring. “

” It would be nice if it was always warm.”

In the video, I appeared in the background of the sea.

In the video, I looked straight ahead and then looked up at the sky.

” Sometimes cold springs. “

As the screens intersect, a soccer club student who falls while running appears.

” I wish it was always sunny.”

Students in school uniform looking at exam papers and frustrated.

” Sometimes yellow dust. “

A student holding a guitar depressed after falling out of a music audition.

” But what about it? “

My face against the background of the sea came out again.

My hair swaying in the sea breeze.

” Finding green in such a spring is youth, isn’t it?”

Soccer club students running again.

Students studying again.

A student playing the guitar again.

” Find your blue.”

A side view of me drinking an ion sweat.

” Blue inside you, Aeon Sweat. “

After drinking, I turned my head to look at the camera and smiled broadly.

Ion sweat logo coming out.

The video is over.

The staff spoke through the headset.

– Yes, it was good. Please hold it that way. –

” Yes. “

– I’ll go one more time. –

The video started again.

” Spring… “

After recording three more narrations, the staff said.

– I’ll organize the recording. Let’s listen. –

” Yes. “

Only silence fell in the recording studio again.

All I could see in the silence were the advertisers and production staff moving their mouths outside the windows of the recording studio.

It seemed like we were listening to the recording and sharing our opinions.

I went through the script again in the silence and drank water to quench my thirst.

After about 5 minutes, the sound came through the headset.

– Dohee-yang will also listen to it. –

” Yes. “

For me too, the recording I narrated was played.

I gave myself feedback while watching the recording.

Well, it seems too awkward here.

I think the tone here is too low.

It’s a bit disappointing how the lines are handled here.

After the video, I looked outside through the window to see if there were any additional instructions, but the staff were just talking among themselves.

As we waited in the silent recording studio again, feedback came through the headset.

– Well done. But first of all, this part of ‘But in the spring’ is a bit delayed. –

” Yes. “

– Also, I think you should pay attention to the difference between narration and dialogue processing. –

” Yes, I see! “

I picked up a pen and made notes on the points that needed to be corrected in the script.

– Now, I’m going to clean up the things I just did and try again. –

And I started recording.

– But, how do I start? –

Re-recording.

– Find your green color. Please make this part more like a student. –

Re-recording.

After all kinds of feedback, the 30-second commercial recording was over.

The staff said.

– Now, I’m going to record a 6 second version. –

” Yes~ “

– Okay, let’s go. –

The short 6-second video was a video of me, wet with sweat, running high towards the sea with my hair flying.

I started the narration.

“Find your blueness.”

” I on sweat, ion sweat! “

Like that, the recording of the 6-second version of the commercial was over.

The staff spoke through the headset.

– All done. Thank you for your effort. –

” Yep! You worked hard~ “

After that, I’m glad it was over within two hours.

The pros say that if the script is this short, it can be finished within 30 minutes.

I still have a long way to go.

It was the end of July, less than a week after the recording was finished.

As usual, I went to work at 10 am and practiced.

I was leaving the room after finishing the vocal lesson, and Woo-ah unnie, who had the next vocal lesson, said to me.

” Dohee! Did you see the ad for Aeon Sweat that came out earlier?”

” Huh? Really?”

It seems that post-production was progressing quickly, so the advertisement video was registered early.

Wooah unni said as if she was happy with her work.

” Yes! The staff are talking about it? Check it out! “

” Yes, thank you. I’ll check it out later.”

Once I finished all the scheduled lessons.

And when it was time for free lessons, I went into the empty vocal room in the basement and turned on my phone, which I had turned off in case it would interfere with my practice.

When I turned on my cell phone, it vibrated with text messages and KakaoTalk notifications.

The text message was that the advertisement video was registered, and the talk message was a congratulatory message from the family.

After replying quickly, I went to YouTube with a fluttering heart and searched for Aeon Sweat.

[2021 Aeon Sweat TVCF: Find Your Blue Dohee Lee_30s]

[2021 Aeon Sweat TVCF: Find Your Blue Dohee Lee_6s]

Two versions appeared in the search results.

I pressed the short 6-second version with a trembling heart.

– Search for your blueness. I on sweat Aeon sweat! –

The advertisement was exactly the same as the one I checked in the recording studio.

The 30-second version I clicked later was no different.

However, unlike the time of recording when I was so nervous and focused that I didn’t have time to watch the video leisurely, watching the video now feels different.

At that time, she looked pretty normally…

This time…

It’s f*cking pretty…?

Big…

I get drunk on myself.

I wonder if this is enough to capture not only youth but also innocence.

With excitement, I dragged the screen down to read the comments.

6 Comments

Since it was an advertisement video that came out today, it seemed that there were few comments yet.

Now… Where should I look?

[It’s just an ionic advertisement, so pretty]

[It’s an ad that makes my heart flutter]

[I was envious of Japanese ion sweat because they advertised with the theme of student youth.

[All of us may be living our lives forgetting the blue. This advertisement, which awakened that blue dream, is differentiated from other AEON advertisements in the past]

[The ion sweat ad has an excellent ability to empathize with customers. It warms up as it is recognized as an image that understands, embraces, and comforts the hearts of young people.]

[The real comment is so cool]

Um…

What is it?

Why is there no mention of me?

Everybody is just praising advertisements.

It has been two weeks since the advertisement was broadcast on TV.

As exposure increased, the number of people who watched TVCF and came to watch it again on YouTube increased.

And naturally, not only comments on YouTube, but also comments about me came up in the internet community.

[ Who is this???? ]

The person who advertises this Ionswet… Is very pretty.
