Make It Pop

st time on Make It Pop.

Look what they did to my--

They can't cancel Homecoming!

I hear Homecoming's being moved to Club Ry Ri!

Sun Hi: Without the schools permission.

Jodi: If Jared doesn't notice you after this

he doesn't deserve you.

It's my father...

He's coming for a visit.

Excited for auditions today, Mr. Stark?

I know I am.

The start of a new project brings both excitement and fear.

Now, where did I put my--

Notebook? Here you are, sir.

I took the liberty of putting my name in it

with a 'ten' next to performance.

That's quite hopeful of you.

Isn't hope the first step on the road to accomplishment?

You read that in my notebook, didn't you?

And it was beautifully put.

Just like that picture of you riding a giraffe.

That's a Shakespearean steed!

I'm here to read for Dorothy...

And I'm gonna nail it,

so you might as well cancel the rest of the auditions.

This class certainly does not lack for confidence.

With chins like these, why would we?

Jared, let's audition together

and show Mr. Stark our romantic chemistry.

It's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

There's nothing romantic about it.

We'll see about that.

Yeah, I've been known to make

common household chores romantic.

This is really not how I envisioned this beginning.

Five hundred hits!?

We're, like, famous party promoters now!

The secret Homecoming was off the charts.

Except for the part where we got caught and banned

from the next school outing because of it.

Oh no!

Missing the trip to see the city's sewage lagoons?

I'm devastated.

Why are you texting me?

I want to know what you think of my new online campaign.

"Save Oz. Sun Hi for Dorothy."

Too subtle?

Guys...

I need to talk--

Mr. Stark: Attention students. Acting and Orchestra auditions

for the Musical, today, four PM sharp.

We're going to kill that audition.

I really need to--

Want to hear the greatest news ever?

Stark already cast me as Dorothy?

No.

He saw my costumes and wants me to design Oz?

No.

Guys, I really need to--

I came up with a band name!

Really?

I thought we'd never think of one.

Just using my initials has a nice ring to it.

You know, S H something?

How about s h h don't talk?

No, it's way better than that.

We should announce it at Club Ry Ri!

I need to get the word out.

Now.

And the name is?

So glad he came all this way to not tell us the name.

Well that's a relief.

The band name is the final piece of the puzzle.

Now we can drop our first single,

fight off high-powered agents and--

I can't do it!!!

What?

Audition for the play, perform at Club Ry Ri or be in the band.

I can't do any of it.

I'm sorry guys.

I'm out.

Sun Hi: What are you talking about?

We're a team, Corki.

We need you--

My father is coming.

If he finds out I'm in a band, he'll send me home,

I'll be waited on hand and foot,

and travel the world under constant

supervision of security guards.

That sounds awesome.

I like it here.

Being a regular student, with regular friends.

Corki, why would your dad care if you're in a band?

take over the family business one day.

He didn't grow his company into a worldwide brand

by making time for pop music.

Worldwide brand?

You mean you're that Chang?!

You know my father?

Know him?

He's like one of the richest people in the world.

Is this your big secret?

I didn't want people to like me

just because of who my father is.

I get it.

I'm glad we became besties before I found out.

Now you can never doubt the purity of our friendship.

So how much is he actually worth?

I've heard somewhere in the billions.

Sun Hi!

What?

If I'm going to be a supportive friend, I need the facts!

For example: does he have a safe?

And do you have a combination to that safe?

Corki, ignore her.

You're in the band.

We'll figure the rest out.

Absolutely.

We're all in this together.

True friends.

So does your allowance come in an armored truck,

or how does that work?

DJ Maxwell: Today has been a crazy day in the pod-iverse...

but I've gotta take off.

Hey, make sure to download the latest podcast,

or stream it anytime online.

I promise to give you the latest and coolest new artists.

I'm DJ Maxwell, and this is The Max Attack.

Hi.

Dude.

Not you again.

Please, don't call security.

I'm offering you an interview with

the hottest new band in town.

Let me guess, is this your band,

What a great guess!

We have a special performance coming up at a club.

Really.

Well, technically, it's a roller rink.

But it doubles as Club Ry Ri.

I don't think I've heard of it.

Exactly.

That's why we need you.

This band is going to blow up.

I've heard this before.

But not from me.

Yes.

Actually from you.

Last time you snuck in here.

Good point.

But we need promo and you can announce the band name

and gives us our big break.

What do you say?

I like your persistence.

You kinda remind me of myself when I was your age.

Aren't you only like a couple years older than me?

Wait, careful.

If I agree to help you out with this,

will you just please promise to never sneak in here again?

Yes...?

I have zero confidence in that yes.

Why are you such a slob?

My father could arrive any moment.

I'm not a slob.

I'm an advocate for free-range clothing.

It says here you have seven jets!?

Those gossip sites always exaggerate.

We only have five.

Five? Can we take one and use it to tour around the world?

It doesn't exactly work that way.

So I guess a private yacht with a helipad painted

a pretty shade of pink is out of the question?

Not entirely.

So you can have anything you want?!

No, That's silly.

When I was little, I wanted my very own unicorn

and I only got a pony.

Harsh.

I can just imagine what it would be like...
