Make It Pop (2015) s01e11 Episode Script

Mr. Chang

1 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.
Make it pop, woo, woo Make it pop, woo, woo I can't wait no I can't wait No, I can't wait, no I can't wait So make it pop We're bout to, we're bout to blow Wait till we drop Oh ya, we're ready to go Ain't gonna stop, When is it, time for the show We make it, you make it, They make it M-m-m-m-m-m- Make it pop 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 I put my hands up in the air S-U-N Hi Wake up in satin sheets, to the noise of big city streets Oh my we so on fire, we gonna take it higher Dress up checking my style wassup when we're looking so fly No need to look no further we got them platinum chains and leather All the kids wanna roll with you Yeah, yeah, they really wanna be like you, yeah And they wanna get the diamond rings and the limousines And be rolling in green It's time to fly, so go reach for the sky I put my hands up in the air Make everybody stop and stare Write my name across the sky I'm a superstar I put my hands up in the air Make everybody stop and stare Write my name across the sky I'm a superstar I put my hands up in the air Yeah, yeah Write my name across the sky I'm a superstar I put my hands up in the air Yeah yeah Write my name across the sky I'm a superstar Everyday's like a dream, who knows just what it will bring We gon' live it up up the party never gonna stop, stop, no X-O-I-Q Coming up with my clique, we so classy and so chic Go flash that dollar sign, we don't have to wait in line All the kids wanna roll with you, yeah, yeah, they really Wanna be like you, yeah And they wanna get the diamond rings and the limousines And be rolling in green Play lucky seven if you want a slice of heaven, yeah I put my hands up in the air Make everybody stop and stare Write my name across the sky I'm a superstar I put my hands up in the air Make everybody stop and stare Write my name across the sky I'm a superstar I put my hands up in the air Yeah, yeah Write my name across the sky I'm a superstar I put my hands up in the air Yeah, yeah Write my name across the sky I'm a superstar But people always get the wrong idea about money I have a lot of things, but things aren't friends you know I could totally give you guys up for "anything in the world.
" You are damaged, Sun Hi.
You love it.
Guys, great news! Corki's dad's flight was diverted and he's not coming? No.
And when you interrupt me like that, it really ruins my momentum.
You're going to tell us the band name? No, not that either.
I scored us an interview with DJ Maxwell! Seriously? That's amazing.
Ouh what'll I wear? He's coming at four o'clock.
O - M- G! My voice is going to be downloaded by millions of people all around the world.
Hash tag blushing.
Four? Today? On the dot.
But that's the same time as our auditions.
We can't miss the interview.
My million downloads! We can't miss the auditions, My killer costumes! We can't do the interview at MacKendrick - my father will catch us! We'll find a really private place to do it.
He'll never find us.
Father! I me And that's where I studied rudiments for corporate law.
I could recite them for you if you like.
What's going on here? Just auditions for the school musical.
Are you involved with it? No! I mean other than trying out for the orchestra.
Well, I'm sure you'll find the time for all of your interests.
That's what I'd like.
DJ Maxwell: You know what, I checked you guys out online.
You're trending.
Of course, I record everything for the Sun Hi Nation! Including now! Okay Wait, what are you doing over there? Is everything okay? Yes! I'm just making sure we're not interrupted.
This is actually pretty nice digs for an interview.
Yes.
This room is in high demand.
Not sure when it's booked next, actually.
So let's hurry up, chop chop.
But where is Masked Girl? Is she showing up or what? Uh well no.
No?! She can't join us today.
Well that's too bad.
Because I'm not doing an interview without the star.
Star?! Masked Girl is not the star! Yes, she's talented, but I'm the one with that special quality you can't-- Here's the thing, if she's not here, I'm out.
I'll get her.
So are these auditions happening here and now, or on the astral plane? The astral plane First up, Jared Anderson! Whoo! A dramatic reading of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz as seen through the eyes of the Scarecrow and the Tin Wood Man.
'Tis hard to live in Oz without a brain, to think a simple thought is a strain.
'Tis even harder without a heart, it makes your tummy's funny like you need to f-- Thank you, Jared! Wait, I'm not done.
The two sides dance battle! Ms.
Diona: Less is often more, Mr.
Stark.
And it's looking like less auditorium and more tearing down.
Thank you, Jared.
Nobody wins in this dance battle.
Next And this is the student clubs board, where I never look for frivolous pastimes -- Corki! Mr.
Chang, sir.
When I was in school, they didn't allow running in the halls.
Oh.
Right.
They don't here either.
Unless it's a learning emergency.
Which reminds me -- Corki, you promised to help me with that very important math equation.
You know, the one where if a DJ was promised three singers and only two show up, how long will it take before there's nothing left? But I told you Sun Hi, I can't solve that math problem.
It's too complicated.
But you're the only one who can solve that problem.
I used to be pretty good in math.
Perhaps I can help.
No! What we meant was we'd love your help, father, it's just our school has a strict no help from parents policy.
Seems harsh, but what are ya gonna do? Well, then I guess I'll see you at the orchestra auditions later.
Caleb: Hey, how about, We interview you.
What's your favorite kind of soup? Cream of "I Don't Have Time For This".
No, wait! Ah you don't have to answer questions about soup.
Yeah.
What's your favorite kind of soap? We're here! We made it! Lose the monkeys - now! Next.
Mr.
Chang! How are you enjoying the tour? Fine.
I'm just waiting for my daughter's orchestra audition.
Great.
She is so talented.
I am sure she is in the show, no problem.
Only if she deserves it.
I don't believe in favoritism.
Then I'm suddenly confused about how to best kiss-up to you and your money.
Um, seat, here have a seat, it's the best seat in the house.
Mr Stark: Next, bricks of the yellow road.
DJ Maxwell loved us.
And our band name, too.
I know, right? It's perfect! We are so late for the auditions! Corki: I need my violin! Orchestra hopefuls, please come forward.
We were the best.
I can't believe he didn't cast us on the spot.
I think I have hay in my pants.
The acting auditions are over.
We totally blew it.
At least you can still audition for the orchestra.
Yeah, Corki, go ahead.
Make him proud.
But I wanted to make us proud.
Don't beat yourself up.
We're very hard to please.
Corki, good, re here.
We'll start with you Can you imagine the awesome things we could have done with that sound? People in the house, put your hands together for XO-IQ! Waited some time for the hand of fate Dreaming a dream I can hardly wait We are gonna be a part of it No stopping us now the fire is lit Blast off now hear the sonic boom Everybody's gotta get down in the room Shoot for the stars we'll wave to the moon When the lightning strike go zoom zoom zoom We're taking over better step aside We'll hit the road but we'll still need a ride We're gonna get to work on a grand design Tag you in a post when we get online If we have the time Turn up the spotlights we're on our way Turn up the spotlights we wanna play We'll get it, I bet it, were gonna be stars one day All we gotta do is write a song Then we'll get our own emoticon Everywhere we go they'll scream our names I guess that comes with the price of fame Turn up the spotlights we're on our way Turn up the spotlights we wanna play We'll get it, I bet it were gonna be stars one day S-U-N HI YA! It's J-O-Di Listen Up Corki We'll be in the sky, they'll see us glow Over the air waves on the radio Just give us the lights and we'll steal the show Throw your hands up and then lose control Work everyday and all through the night Only get one shot better do it right Won't stop, till everybody knows the name They better be ready cause we'll bring the fame Turn up the spotlights we're on our way Turn up the spotlights we wanna play We'll get it, I bet it were gonna be stars one day Turn up the spotlights we're on our way Turn up the spotlights we wanna play We'll get it, I bet it were gonna be stars one day We could be so good.
What are we talking about here? Scarecrow and Tin Wood Man? Seriously? I'll show you a dance battle You gonna show us a dance battle? I would love to.
Hey aren't you Melwood Stark, king of dance at MacKendrick prep? Guilty as charged.
Mind showing us a little? I live for it.
But be warned, the following dance contains moments of awesomeness.
Viewer discretion is advised.
Oh what's that.
"We could be so good at being the most awesome friends ever.
" Nice cover, Sun Hi.
Except now my dad thinks you're conceited.
Aw, sweet.
I can't believe we were interviewed by DJ Maxwell.
Totally unreal.
It's just the beginning.
Soon we'll be doing television interviews, red carpet interviews, and those interviews where they look back on your career and try to make you cry.
Those are going to be harder to hide from my father.
You're going to have to tell him.
Or, you can keep lying for the rest of your life.
For once, I agree with Sun Hi.
About time.
It's uploaded.
DJ Maxwell: Hey what's up, it's DJ Maxwell here with the Max Attack.
Now earlier today I had the privilege of meeting a hot new up-and-coming band These talented young artists hail from The prestigious MacKendrick Preparatory High School.
Ahh.
