Beethoven Reborn Episode 177

40. people, music, money⑴

James Berman, the second son of Britain's largest conglomerate, the Berman Group, was leading the content business centered on Europe..

Comprehensive content platform Interplay.

James Berman's Interplay has covered all cultural content, including movies, dramas, comics, music, and novels, since 2010, and soon established itself as a global platform with the wealth of the Berman Group at the forefront..

At the same time, Interplay, a Berman Group subsidiary of the same name, was able to achieve great results for all Europeans by not only operating the platform but also expanding into content production..

Market cap: $128 billion.

Interplay has become a global company with influence not only in Europe but also in North America..

James Berman, who was so successful, began to branch out into his own hobby areas..

For him, who learned to play the violin as a child, the London Symphony Orchestra based in his hometown was a source of pride and pride..

James Berman, who acquired three of London's Big Four (the London Symphony Orchestra, the London Philharmonic, and the Philharmonia Orchestra) (the London Symphony Orchestra, the London Philharmonic, the Philharmonia Orchestra, and the BBC Symphony), runs the orchestra as CEO. I managed it myself.

An exclusive contract was signed between Interplay and the orchestra, allowing people to watch the performance video of the Manse Orchestra through Interplay..

The three bands became financially wealthy by producing music used in films, dramas, and cartoons produced by Interplay..

It soon led to the development of the orchestra..

Originally renowned as a world-class orchestra, they invited the world's best talents..

Bruno Walter and Arturo Toscanini, who are revered as living legends alongside Marie Jans and Wilhelm Furtwängler, are heading to London..

2020In the 1990s, the London Symphony Orchestra and the London Philharmonic became the most popular music instruments in the European classical music industry..

James Berman and Interplay's financial resources were not only spent on attracting human resources;.

It also had a positive impact on creating an internal environment such as concert hall equipment, innovation in recording technology, and purchase of musical instruments..

Environmental infrastructure was also established through mergers and acquisitions of famous entertainment companies..

Above all, Interplay's global marketing played a decisive role in attracting many music fans to London..

The reason why traditional powerhouses such as the Berlin Philharmonic, the Vienna Philharmonic, and the Royal Concertau Orchestra of Amsterdam have slowed down in recent years is because of Interplay's proactive policy..

however.

Things changed a little when a man returned to the European classical music industry..

There is only one leader that Interplay has built over the years..

The world was turned upside down by just one genius..

Dobin Bae.

When rumors spread that Bae Do-bin would return to the Berlin Philharmonic, James Berman didn't think much of it..

I knew very well that he was an excellent musician, but I thought that one individual could not overturn the environment that Interplay had created..

However, he realized through Bae Do-bin's comeback stage that he had misjudged..

Bae Do-bin's return stage evoked an explosive response, and the Berlin Philharmonic's concert-based activities began to noticeably regain vitality..

Interplay's corporate policy director Ripso, who noted the rebound of Dobin Bae and the Berlin Philharmonic, predicted that London's market share would decline by 17% within six months..

That was enough motivation for James Furman to move..

one month.

The attacks on Bae Do-bin by music industry professionals related to Interplay, including Hammon Showik, continued..

It was an attack on the Berlin Philharmonic, and some people who did not know the situation began to gradually become suspicious..

I was really deceived into thinking that Bae Do-bin's music might be uncultured..

The most important thing in art is empathy.

Art that excludes empathy is bound to be one-sided and has no value as art; there is bound to be an information gap between the artist and the person who enjoys the art..

Therefore, fans have no choice but to rely on the words of critics or authorities with some degree of expertise..

That was taken advantage of..

Those in the middle of the art distribution process manipulate information..

Camilla Anderson, secretary general of the Berlin Philharmonic, was frowning..

Although the auditorium was still full, sales in other areas gradually decreased, and public opinion, which had seemed solid, gradually began to show signs of change..

The Berlin Philharmonic, which had been stagnant due to London's progress, expected a rebound with Bae Do-bin's joining..

I couldn't help but feel the seriousness of the current situation because it brought results beyond my expectations..

Accordingly, through the orchestra's official channels, it announced its intention to take strong action against criticism directed at Bae Do-bin and the Berlin Philharmonic, but to no avail..

‘Hammon Showik……

Camilla Anderson had not been able to sleep well for several days, trying to find common ground between Hammon Showik, who first started this story, and the critics who followed him and started attacking Bae Dobin..

Even though it was almost time to leave work today, I couldn't bear to leave work..

‘It's time for Dobin to come. Should I have a cup of coffee?.’

As she came out of her private office, people were getting ready to leave work. Among them, Mulpin, the acting manager, welcomed Camilla..

“Director, you are working extra hours today as well.?”

“Right, whatever. Nothing special happened today?”

“Nothing major happened. I… … here.”

Mulpin took out a document from his desk drawer and showed it to Camilla. Camilla asked as she accepted the rather thick item..

“what's this?”

“I did some research at home..”

“Mulpin••••••

The documents organized by Mulpin contained itemized details of what Camilla Anderson was investigating..

Camilla Anderson, who did the research on her own because she knew the staff was busy with the band's administrative duties, was very grateful for Mulpin's help..

“It's our job.”

Two people looked at each other and smiled.

“Then I'll go. Ah, the concertmaster.”

Mulpin, who delivered the documents, was opening the door to the secretariat when Bae Do-bin was standing in front of the door..

“Hello, Mulpin. You've been well, right?”

“sure. Today's performance was great.”

After Bae Do-bin and Mulpin briefly exchanged greetings and all the office staff left work, Camilla opened her mouth..

“do you want to drink coffee?”

“Camilla's coffee is welcome..”

Since there were only two people in the office, Bae Do-bin sat down comfortably..

Steam began to rise in the coffee pot..

“What did you call me for??”

Bae Do-bin asked.

“I was wondering what it was like these days. How are you doing as a concertmaster??”

“I think I know why Ceph is called a tyrant..”

“ Ha ha ha ha ha.”

When the water boiled, I opened the lid, let it cool for a moment, and then Camilla turned around..

“You don't know how many times I praise you. Musically, it was already complete from the beginning, but I was planning on teaching him what to do as a movement leader, but he regretted that it was not necessary..”

“Camilla.”

“hmm?”

“I'm fine.”

After hearing Bae Do-bin's words, Camilla raised her eyebrows for a moment and then smiled slightly. It was because she realized that her intentions had been revealed..

Camila Anderson was worried about the treasures of the Berlin Philharmonic because it is difficult for any person to handle being criticized by an unspecified number of people..

However, rather than comforting the proud Bae Do-bin, I called him to confirm once again what a great person he is..

Bae Do-bin was already aware of Camilla’s intentions..

“I really can't stand it. It was obvious like that?”

“Aside from Camilla, everyone is looking at me these days and it's a bit unpleasant..”

Camille brewed coffee with moderately cooled water..

“I don't care what critics say. … … I'm angry that people around me are worried about me..”

Dobin Bae accepted the coffee handed to him by Camilla and continued speaking calmly..

“Music is a conversation. No one has the right to interrupt a conversation. If me and the Berlin Philharmonic are satisfied and the fans like it, that's it..”

Bae Do-bin’s view on music has been firm since he was young..

Camilla Anderson, who had seen with her own eyes his unwillingness to participate in competitions or receive awards, was relieved..

“If the fans who spoke with me become suspicious of the conversation I had with them after hearing what others say, that would also be their fault. Because I trust conversations with other people more than with myself..”

That's why it's important to have people who truly appreciate your music..

Bae Do-bin thought so..

drank coffee.

“As expected, this is the coffee made by Camilla. it is delicious.”

“Because the coffee beans are expensive.”

The two laughed softly, and after a short interval, Camilla opened her mouth..

Since he confirmed that Bae Do-bin was not shaken, he expressed his thoughts with confidence..

“Still, I think I'd be angry. If you misunderstand what you created,.”

“I'm a musician. I'm a musician, I don't want to hang out with people like that..”

“Musician means speaking through music.?”

“ It's similar.”

Camilla Anderson took a long breath as if feeling refreshed. It was as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her heart..

“……Music is conversation. I think it's a good expression.”

She truly thought so..

“When you like something, you want to know a lot about it, right? But since I know so little, I talk to people who have had the same experience. How good was it when I heard Berlin Fantasia?.”

Dobin Bae nodded..

“But I like it so much that I want to have a deeper conversation. As a result, experts look for Hangul to organize it. Because I like it. 'Cause I want to know better.”

While Camilla was speaking, the secretariat door opened..

Na Yoon-hee, Lee Seung-hee, Manuel Neuer, and Wilhelm Furtwängler stood around him cautiously..

Camilla looked around at them and continued speaking..

“So I feel good about critics who satisfy that need. I also want to understand your music in more detail. Why was it done like this? I wonder if there is any intention here. I think it's because everyone likes it..”

Camilla smiled at Bae Do-bin..

“That's why I work at the Berlin Philharmonic. I want to let more people hear the Berlin Philharmonic's wonderful performances and convey them more effectively. I don't know music professionally, but I can do it..”

Furtwängler put his hand on Camilla's shoulder. Camilla said, placing her own hand on top of hers..

“So I'm going to play that role. If you're a musician, I'll have my own thing to do too..”

Although she spoke comfortably, Camilla's voice was firm..

“People who lie and deceive the music of the Berlin Philharmonic and the innocent people who love it. I will catch you and punish you. So that our conversation can continue.”

Camilla's sincerity.

Bae Dobin laughed.

“Please, Director..”

What should I do to make Bae Dobin feel better?.

Berlin Philharmonic members gathered.

Manuel Neuer and Seunghee Lee led the meeting..

‘Let's have a party.’

‘Let's make curry.’

‘Let's write a letter.’

‘Even though it's not delicious, let's eat the food.’

There were many opinions, but the method that everyone agreed on was Na Yun-hee's suggestion..

“I… … How about a concert??”

“If it's a concert, you do it every time..”

“Maybe I'm just pretending to know. that is. that… … I think the musician doesn't like to pay attention. So he thinks that if he pays too much attention to it, it will harm the members... … Wouldn't it be?”

“ ah.”

“That could be it..”

“So I… … Instead of regular concerts, if you set up a place where you can play the music of the movement your fans want to hear. that… … Oh, wouldn't you be happy... … yo. this?”

It was an event that music idiot Bae Do-bin would like..

The members looked at each other.

“It's a good idea?”

Everyone agreed with Na Yoon-hee’s opinion..

Although regular schedules and occasional chamber music performances were difficult enough, I wanted to give strength to the concertmaster..

“But what about permission? Will the Sefna secretariat allow it??”

“ ah.”

“Hehehe.”

“Chef.”

Furtwängler, who had been secretly listening to their conversation, came forward and thought the same thing..

Furtwängler took some members to visit Camilla Anderson in the Secretariat office..

Bae Do-bin and Camilla were talking at the time, so I was waiting outside the door..

I wanted to surprise you if possible, so I waited for the conversation to end.

I was able to hear Bae Do-bin's position, which I had never heard before..

“If me and the Berlin Philharmonic are satisfied and the fans like it, that's it..”

Unwavering, firm will.

Furtwängler and the members opened the door and headed towards their proud concertmaster..
