Beethoven Reborn Episode 012
4. 4Sal, genius composer(7)
When I returned from Japan and was writing the second song, winter came..
The days were getting colder and colder, and sometimes when I went for a walk with my mother, magical lights twinkled on every street..
“Mom, what is that??”
“I guess they put it on because Christmas is coming. It's pretty. right?”
Ah, it looks like Christmas has already arrived..
I'm not interested in religion, but I really liked stollen (traditional German bread), so I remembered it sprinkled with a lot of powdered sugar..
a few days later.
Producer Himura brought me the final recording and played it to me, and I nodded..
Since I was very reluctant to go to Japan by plane, Himura took some trouble to edit the 'Auferstehung'.
Bow)' was finally played to my liking..
“good. Luckily, I'll be able to make it in before Christmas Eve. Good job, Dobin..”
“What. thank you.”
I wanted to ask about money, but every time I talked about money, people kept crying and being annoying, so I thought I should ask when my 'single album' started selling..
* *
“Mr. Nakamura, Mr. Himura. The first day of resurrection was tallied..”
Nakamura and Himura were anxiously waiting for news in the Exton office..
Just when I thought it was time to arrive, an employee from Exton came into the office..
Bae Do-bin's dedicated manager, Nakamura, stood up..
“okay. What is it like?.”
“2,400It's chapter.”
“Umm.”
The sales figures were completely different from what Nakamura, Himura, and all Exton employees had expected..
Although it is still too early to make a judgment, considering the value of 'Resurrection', which contains Bae Do-bin's genius artistry, I couldn't help but feel disappointed..
“I need something to turn the situation around..”
Exton, who had invested in ‘resurrection’ by inviting world-renowned cellist Lee Seung-hee, could not help but be worried..
‘As expected, the promotion should have featured Lee Seung-hee?……
Nakamura, who promoted Bae Do-bin as the main character despite much opposition, ended up regretting it rather than regretting it..
In any case, if the album sells well, Bae Do-bin will also receive recognition..
However, he couldn't help but feel a sense of responsibility, especially as he pursued the work according to his beliefs because his 'instinct' told him that it shouldn't be done that way..
“Don't worry too much. I'm a rookie anyway, so isn't the first day's tally meaningless?.”
Himura, who participated in the work directly, spoke optimistically because he was confident in 'resurrection'..
And as he said, as Christmas approached, the cumulative count gradually began to rise..
Surpassed 5,000 copies on the third day.
By the end of a week, it had reached 10,000 copies..
And three days before Christmas Eve, a column article was posted in the entertainment section of the Asahi Shimbun..
It was an article by Rin Ishihara, who specializes in information on the entertainment department, especially the classical music industry..
Her writing began with a calm sentence..
11early afternoon in monday.
After receiving the call, I headed to the appointment location a day early..
The subject of this interview is a 3-year-old child. He was a cute boy from Korea..
The boy looked straight at me with his big, clear eyes..
The boy who answered the questions with that clear voice without even a speck of dust ended up shedding tears in my eyes..
In order not to add or subtract, I am attaching the conversation at the time..
Q. How did you start in music?.
A. My mom has been telling me this since I was young. She likes music. she likes it a lot.
Q. I heard that a single album will be produced soon. how do you feel.
A. I'm glad I can make money..
Q. What does it mean? do you like money.
A: Yes. i like you. Since my family is poor, I need money to learn more about music. There is so much music I want to know. And I don't like it when my mom gets scolded by her big mom..
I could no longer conduct the interview..
Neither Yuki, who was interpreting, nor I could control our emotions after hearing the words coming from the mouth of a 3-year-old child..
After the boy left, I was able to hear a sample performance of a song he had written called 'Resurrection'..
Is it because there is still a lingering feeling?.
I couldn't understand how that child could express his agony of despair in such passionate tones..
Is it because of the boy’s disadvantage?.
Was that why I was able to write this song?.
In that case, in order to give birth to a genius, heaven gave a trial so great that a child could not bear it..
This coming Christmas, I bless the resurrection of Jesus..
I will present Bae Do-bin's 'Resurrection', which expresses emotions so intense that I want to be reborn, to my precious person..
The column article was widely circulated through print media and online articles..
Japanese people reacted differently in various classes..
ㄴ Pretentious article. A new drama not worth reading.
Do you not know this person? Rin Ishihara is a person known to be an expert when it comes to classic articles. What's so unfortunate about a person like that that he lies? Lower the value of your name.
ㄴ WWWHikikomo Lee who knows nothing is also WWW
ㄴ I've heard of this. The pastor at my church played it and it made me and everyone who goes to my church cry..
ㄴ don't lie
ㄴ I agree with the person who commented above. A song written by a 3-year-old child must be like that..
ㄴ Huh? Isn’t this it? Came up on Nico-dong?
Who will understand if you say that, you fool?.
ㄴ Uploading a link. http7/www.nicoxxxx.jp/ybean
No, you idiot. How can that and resurrection be the same??
ㄴ Wow, but I skimmed through this song while previewing it. It's crazy. This is 'real'.
Opinions were divided on online bulletin boards..
‘In addition to opinions such as 'It's a self-made play to gain popularity' and 'It's a lie,' there were also many responses saying that they were fascinated by the song itself..
On the other hand, when targeting the general public, sympathy theory was dominant..
Asahi Shimbun, which has a business partnership with Exton, attempted to interview people who were buying Bae Do-bin's 'Resurrection' in front of record stores..
“Oh, I saw it too. It was so heartbreaking and wonderful to see a 3-year-old child thinking of his mother..”
34three housewives.
“I bought it online and listened to it, and I liked it so much that I decided to buy one for my collection..”
22three music students.
“I was in tears. I came to buy it because I wanted to support you..”
17three high school students.
“I think Bae Dobin has both an angel and a devil inside him. I can't believe that a child with such an angelic heart makes such passionate music..”
27three unemployed.
Rin Ishihara has added an additional article once again, excluding the content of the last interview..
In the meantime, sales of Bae Do-bin's first single album 'Resurrection' were gradually increasing..
And finally Christmas Eve.
Legendary musician Ryoichi Sakamoto left a short comment on Bae Dobin's 'resurrection' on SNS..
His music is already complete.
I am happy that today I can listen to the first album of a historical genius..
To put it bluntly, ‘resurrection’ was a gift from the resurrected baby Jesus..
By Christmas Day, Ryoichi Sakamoto's tweet had been retweeted more than 80,000 times, the last day of 2009..
“Mr. Nakamura! The tally results are out!”
An Exton employee came rushing into the office in a huff..
He was holding a bunch of crumpled papers in his hands, and when Nakamura and Himura got up at the same time,.
He thrust it in front of the two people..
“510,000 copies! There are 50,000 copies.!”
The employee couldn't hide his excitement and continued talking..
“All additional production volumes were sold. I keep getting calls requesting quantity.!”
“It was good!”
Nakamura and Himura clenched their fists at the same time..
2009year.
Unlike in the past, album sales in Japan were greatly reduced..
In the case of popular music, single albums were sold in units of 100,000 copies, but classical albums were struggling..
Even so, most of them were sold online, so even Exton, which led the heyday of Japanese classical music, was reducing the scale of its CD album production..
As ‘Nakamura’ and ‘Himura’, who currently lead Exton, they could not help but feel a sense of responsibility..
It was Bae Do-bin who prepared to turn that situation around..
However, 50,000 copies were actually sold..
It was close to a miracle, no, it was a miracle itself..
What was even more encouraging was the fact that it had only been on sale for 15 days..
‘I should at least say thank you to Mr. Sakamoto..’
Manager Nakamura thanked him sincerely..
Meanwhile, producer Himura quickly picked up his cell phone to convey this happy news to Bae Do-bin, who is still working hard at composing music in Korea..
After a few ringtones, Bae Do-bin's father, Bae Young-jun, answered the phone..
“Hello, Father. This is Himura. Excuse me, Mr. Dobin, but could you change it for me??”
-Ah yes. wait a minute.
After a while, a very lovely voice was heard..
Bae Do-bin was a treasured child who came to Exton..
- hello.
“Dobin, the sales figures are out! 50,000 copies! I added more and did not include the online tally..”
Himura, who was talking back and forth with excitement, suddenly changed his words to see if Bae Dobin would understand what he was saying..
“Resurrection sold a ton of copies.!”
- really?
“okay! I'll be going to Korea the day after tomorrow, so let's hurry up and prepare for the next song..”
-how much money did you make?
“.uh?”
-money! money!
“Uh, uh! many! I earned a lot!”
-really? Thank you!
Tududu-
The call hung up and Himura gently lowered the phone. something about his eyes
It looked complicated, but Nakamura, who was very excited, couldn't see it..
“what? I like Dobbin too?”
In response to Manager Nakamura's question, Himura said:.
“I know. It seems like you like it a lot.”
I smiled sheepishly and answered.
