T/n: Sorry guys for the late upload. I recently got appendicitis, so I just got myself operated on. After the operation, I rested for a week. Well, I could have updated during my rest but because of the painkiller’s side effect, it made me listless so I didn’t have the drive to translate. Anyway enjoy reading!

On the night of the release of Over the Rainbow, live broadcasts of moviegoers began on YouTube to share their reviews of the movie.
[Title: (Spoiler) Over the Rainbow Review Broadcast]
“Hello, I am Movie Star.”
-It was just released today, but is there already a review of the movie?
“Yes. It may be time for everyone to go to bed, but I wanted to share my review with everyone as soon as I finished watching!”
-Were you invited to the first screening?
Everyone who watched the first screening already started posting their own reviews, so if they watched others before they posted theirs, it will just be buried, so Movie Star wanted to live broadcast his review as soon as possible.
-Have you ever won a movie’s first screening?
-You’ll get an invitation if you’re a movie star, so I’ve never been there.
“You all know too well.”
Movie star laughed awkwardly. Movie star, widely known to viewers as a reliable movie reviewer, continued.
“The movie I’m going to introduce today is…”
-Over the rainbow!
-ㅠㅠ
A poster of Over the Rainbow from the Movie Theater appeared on the screen. The poster was the three children, Lee Seojun, Catherine Miller, and Paul Oden, smiling faces.
“Yes. Over the Rainbow. Just looking at the poster makes me want to smile too.”
-Play the trailer of Over the Rainbow!
-Play the first part!
“I think all of you who are watching this live show already watched ‘Over the Rainbow’. This is a broadcast full of spoilers! If you haven’t watched it, please press the leave button.”
– Is there a YouTuber who kicks out the viewers? There isn’t, right?
-Looking at the number not diminishing at all, everyone seems to have watched the movie.
Only a few hours after its worldwide release. The Internet around the world was now infested with Over the Rainbow.
-When did a music movie become such a hot topic and a hit? I could already hear the cheers of the Whale studio.
“Yes, it’s a huge audience for a music movie, isn’t it? Under the current circumstances, when the song is released…… I can’t imagine what will happen. You know what? There’s a very famous chart out there. Billboard.”
Billboard. The heavy name froze the chat window.
-……?
-……wow, that’
-Seriously, I got goosebumps.
– Billboard. How many countries did Lee Seojun save in his previous life?
-Saved a lot, destroyed a lot.
Moviegoers and viewers who were not aware of such facts went straight to the point.
“How was the movie?”
-I cried!
-Whenever Lee Seojun comes out on the screen, everyone cried!
-But I liked it because it had a happy ending. My Clinic was such a tragedy.
-Me too!
“Hahaha. Me, too. I cried a lot, and it was good to have a happy ending.”
As a Youtuber that reviews movies, he sat in theaters all day and watched “Over the Rainbow.” His butt hurt from sitting all the time, but the more he continued to watch the movie, the more he admired the marketing of the Whale Studio.
Movie star smiled and went on.
“This movie has two perspectives.”
-Two? Why two?
-Am I the only one who did not see it?
“The first perspective is what the audience sees for the first time. As time goes by, we see Gray’s life. What did you think when you watched the last performance?”
-I was surprised that the stage came out so suddenly
-Gray. He grew up well, didn’t he?
-Didn’t they show us the future scene?
“Yes, that’s the first point. It could be the future a few years later, or it could be the image of three children.”
-What’s the second one?
“You need this to watch from a second perspective.”
Movie star showed a black poster on the camera. The viewers were confused.
-The poster?
-Was that a ‘Over the Rainbow’ poster? I thought the staff misplaced it.
-I have one too. At first, there were no pictures of the actors and no explanations of the movie, so I thought it was a poster for the concert that the staff put in the wrong place, but listening to other people’s stories, it seems to be an ‘Over the Rainbow’ poster.
“Yes, this is also a poster for Over the Rainbow. The important thing is this ticket here.”
The moviegoers zoomed in on the screen. They saw a ticket with golden letters.
-What ticket?
“There’s a meaning behind this. If you take a closer look, you’ll see the date, the time of the show, and the seat number.”
-Date, performance time, seat number. And…
-[Thank you for your long support]
-What does that have to do with the second point?
“Do you remember the ending scene of Over the Rainbow?”
-How can I forget? The scene where I was proud of Gray, who grew up successfully.
-Yes, playing on the stage.
-I can hear the audience clapping.
I almost clapped, too
-……?!!!!
-Really?
-What is it…? Am I the only one who doesn’t know?
-I don’t know…
Few viewers noticed something. Everyone was curious and started hitting ‘????’ hard on their keyboard.
Movie Star smiled as he looked at the chat window filled with confusion.
“Yes, I’ll tell you. The second perspective is Gray’s Concerto.”
– A Concerto?
-A Concerto all of a sudden?
“Gray told you. ‘I don’t know when it will be, but I want to gather all the supporters and hold a Concerto.’ And Gray will be having Concerts. We’re the audience.”
-???
“The phrase, ‘Thank you for your long support,’ is crucial evidence and a hint. It must have been a setting where visitors, who came to watch the movie and buy this ticket are actually the sponsors of “Gray Beanie”. And when he grew up, he was now able to hold Concertos. This poster’s ticket invites us, and the audience in the movie theater will turn into the audience seats for the Concerto.”
Movie star said with a smile.
“In the earlier part of the movie, they already suggested the Real Concerto of ‘Grey Beanie’.”
-What?
“When the movie started, I think Rebecca’s alarm was probably used as a teaser of the Concerto.”
As Movie Star continued to talk, the chat window became less and less. Movie Star was well aware that the viewers were now hooked at his words.
“When I took this ticket and went to watch Over the Rainbow, I felt like I was going to watch a child that I unknowingly sponsored. He grew up well despite all this hard work. Tears welled up thinking about that. I thought there was only an audience-participating theater play, but there is also an audience-participating movie.”
-I couldn’t forget the impression of that time.
“Gray Beanie is definitely a poor, poor child. But he has nothing to do with us. But this ticket changed everything.”
[Thank you for your long support]
The yellow letters glittered like gold.
“We’ve sent him a donation and now he grew up successfully. It can be satisfaction, or it can be rewarding to have played a part in that child’s future. Whatever the feeling is, we’re closer to Grey Beanie than ever before.”
-Ah, I should go watch it again.
-Wow! This is so amazing!
“I don’t know if this is really the right interpretation, but I think so.”
Then, Movie Star carefully lifted something.
“And there’s something more immersive about the movie. Does anyone know this ticket?”
-It was a nice-looking black envelope and ticket.
-Yeah, it was a souvenir of the movie.
-It’s cheap, 3,000 won (3$) for a movie souvenir, but I didn’t want to buy another ticket.
-There’s also the poster.
Movie Star nodded at the viewers’ comments, who knew the existence of poster tickets.
“There was also a poster ticket, so I wondered what this was at first. But fortunately, I bought it because I had to explain it to you.”
Movie Star put something on the screen with a smile.
“This is a photo of the ticket taken and posted by a person living in London, England. And this other picture was taken and posted by a person living in Melbourne, Australia.”
[Emma, thank you for your long support]
[Location: England, London, Wales Classic Hall]
[Date: June 13, 20XX]
[Seats: E30]
[Violinist: Gray Binny]
[Mr. Jefferson, Thank you for your long support.]
[Location: Australia, Melbourne, Wales Classic Hall]
[Date: September 4, 20XX, 18:00]
[Seats: K61]
[Violinist: Gray Binny]
When everyone were confused at the photos posted on social media, someone noticed.
-????
– The location is different.
-Different dates.
-Oh, my. This… Is it a world tour
“Yes, it is. To be exact, it’s a ticket to the world tour that Gray and his friends always dreamed of.”
Movie Star looked at his black ticket with bright eyes. The golden pattern of the ticket was wrapped around it, and there were handwritten letters.
[Movie Star, Thank you for your long support.]
[Location: Whale Classic Hall, Seoul, Korea]
[Date: January 21, 20XX, 16:00]
[Seats: Bar 56]
[Violinist: Gray Beanie]
“Wow, this is so touching. You can see it here. The one with ‘Movie Star’. Of course, I also bought one under my real name.”
-Wow. It looks real.
-Yeah, it’s like the movie is connected to the reality.
– Is “Over the Rainbow” a documentary of Gray Beanie?
“In the poster version of the ticket, it says Whale Classic Hall in the U.S. and the date is set for October 15th. So it should be the release date in the U.S. You can’t even put your name in it. However, in this ticket, you can choose not only the name but also the date and the seat. It’s an upgraded version of the poster ticket. To be honest, the poster tickets is good, but it’s really touching to see your own ticket after watching the movie.”
Earlier, after watching the movie, Movie Star burst into tears when he looked at the ticket with his real name on it.
He couldn’t help but cry because he was so grateful that his whole body felt numb through the violin performance.
He felt guilty about being thanked because he unknowingly sponsored him, so he immediately search for a crowd funding and donated to a story similar to Gray.
There seemed to be many people who felt like that besides Movie Star, the crowding funding site glitched for a while.
Viewers reacted to the sincere words of the movie star.
-My name… I should buy one too.
-It’ll be touching if there’s really my name in it.
Movie star carefully tucked the ticket into a black envelope. He put the envelope on top of his table. He didn’t want to scratch the envelope, not to mention the ticket.
“I will not be able to live broadcast movie reviews for a while.”
-Suddenly announcing a vacation?
-[YouTuber, Movie Star, reveals his intention to retire today]
-Suggest another YouTuber who does movie reviews
-I suggest “Fan ID,” he’s fun.
“No! I’m only going to stop for a few weeks! Hey! Don’t promote other YouTubers!”
-So what are you doing?
-Yes, for what?
“Ehem”
Movie Star coughed.
“I’m going abroad.”
-YouTuber, Movie star, suddenly announcing his immigration?
-Oh, I got it!
-What is it? What is it?
-No way…?
Movie star smiled broadly.
“I’m going to collect tickets for Over the Rainbow overseas Concerto. I already have for January, so from February to December, I am going to visit a total of 11 countries per month. Originally, I was saving money to travel to the place where our Hollywood star, actor Lee Seojun, stopped by, but if it is for these Concertos, I am more than happy to spend them now!”
Viewers watching the broadcast were genuinely envious of Movie Star being genuinely happy.
-You’re such a fan of Lee Seojun! ……I want to go too!
-Broadcast it. Broadcast it!
-I know. Please post your reviews from overseas.
-Are you going to France? It’s Halloween soon! Is it the Halloween festival where Lee Seojun went?
“Yes! Let me show you this. This is my schedule for October in Europe. According to foreigners’ tickets, the date of the first week of release in Korea is from January to March, but it seems that the UK starts in April and Italy starts in July. I don’t know if Whale Studio intended this, but if it goes around well, I think it can be filled by December just by going around Europe. But!”
-But?
-But?
“As a fan of Gray Beanie, I can’t help but go to his first busking place! LA Music University Park! Here we go!”
-I envy you.
-I really envy you.….
-Is it Lee Seojun Tour? Gray Tour? Or Rainbow Tour?
-Killing three birds with one stone LOL
“So…”
