Beethoven Reborn Episode 195
44. Clear oboe and poor timpani(2)
The news of Charles Braum and Raymond Donech was more than a shock to the fans, but it also came to the Berliner Philharmoniker..
In the morning, Furtwängler's hands were shaking violently as he leisurely opened the newspaper while burning a cigar..
Camilla Anderson, who was even more worried because he refused to call or visit her, dropped her cell phone..
Bae Do-bin, who was making coffee after his morning walk, narrowed his eyebrows when he heard the news delivered by Park Sun-young..
* * *
One day before the article was published.
Na Yoon-hee received a message from Lee Jae-eun, an assistant manager of Naise Entertainment Team 2 and her former manager..
［I have something to talk about when I meet you for a moment..］
［what happened
［It'll just take a moment. please.］
She didn't want to meet him if possible, but when Lee Jae-eun, who had been with her for several years, asked her to do it, Na Yoon-hee sighed..
I headed to the cafe Jae-eun Lee mentioned, thinking that I would listen to the story rather than refuse and be uncomfortable..
“here.”
Jae-eun Lee raised his hand, Yun-hee Na took a breath, and then sat across from her..
“What's going on??”
“As soon as you arrive? Drink some juice.”
“ are you okay.”
Lee Jae-eun, who recognized that Na Yoon-hee was pushing him away, got to the point as if there was nothing he could do..
“Interplay merged with Naize. Thanks to you, my salary went up a bit..”
Na Yoon-hee's face, who was wary of Lee Jae-eun, became even harder..
This was because I knew how much capital and infrastructure Interplay had provided to many musicians, including the Berlin Philharmonic..
“As you know, Interplay will only grow bigger in the future. In Europe, Interplay dominates almost everything except Germany and Eastern Europe. You know that Amsterdam in the Netherlands is also struggling recently.?”
“what… … I want to talk?”
“Come to your senses right now and come here..”
“What, what??”
Jae-eun Lee leaned forward and spoke with sincerity..
“It's because he's my first performer. If you have the skills, you can really do better. I feel like I'm saying this for no reason?”
Na Yoon-hee tried to say something, but Lee Jae-eun interrupted her and continued her argument..
“If Interplay receives a proper push, your music will be heard all week long in Europe and the Eastern US market. If you don't have skills, don't say anything. I heard that if you receive promotions like that, you can definitely become successful.?”
“ I am.”
“You wanted to make money. They say it will help you walk that path..”
Na Yoon-hee shook her head..
“Thank you, but I don't want to do that..”
“what's the problem? During Naiz? So do you think it's right to push a performer who isn't even skilled yet? Yes, I decided at that time that you were still there, so I waited for you instead. I don't really understand why I help my sister now that she has her skills.?”
‘That might be true.’
Na Yoon-hee looked at Jae-eun Lee complaining in frustration and thought that what she said might be right..
But Na Yoon-hee knew that there was something more important than thinking about everything efficiently..
After joining the Berlin Philharmonic, I became convinced of that idea..
“Money isn't everything. Jae-eun.”
Lee Jae-eun, who had been speaking passionately until then, laughed at Na Yoon-hee's words..
“Stop saying stupid things. Are you full now that you earned some money? Don’t you remember the time when you only ate ramen because you didn’t have a million won? Money isn't everything. Wow. Sister, money is everything. If I didn't have money, I couldn't afford the violin I love so much and my sister and father's surgery..”
Na Yoon-hee clenched her fists under the table. She was trembling and it seemed like she was going to stutter her words but she didn't..
It was thanks to the Berlin Philharmonic and her father who convinced her what was important to her..
“that's right. I'm a little full. So I'm going to find my way.”
“what?”
“Even though I wanted to cry and sit down every day, I had to make money, so I did as Naiz told me. Like you said, if I didn't have money, I wouldn't be able to eat what I want and I would have lost my father..”
Na Yoon-hee recalled the cruel schedule..
“So now I'm going to find some free time and do the music I want to do, but it looks like such a fool in your eyes.?”
“okay! I feel stupid. There are hundreds of millions waiting in front of you, so what’s not to like??”
“Making good music is more important to me than the money and the comfortable life it will bring..”
It was more important than buying an expensive car, wearing nice clothes, and eating sumptuous food every day..
A life of making music with respected musicians was a more valuable life for her..
Lee Jae-eun cannot understand Na Yoon-hee, and Na Yoon-hee cannot accept Lee Jae-eun’s words..
Since we decided that we could not narrow down our opinions, Jae-eun Lee stood up..
“Interplay will grow even bigger in the future. Everyone who listens to music will hear it on Interplay. Don't regret it when the time comes.”
Lee Jae-eun left the cafe and Na Yoon-hee took a deep breath..
Then a familiar voice called her..
“ It's cool?”
Surprised, Na Yoon-hee turned her head and saw Lee Seung-hee, her heavenly senior and role model, standing behind her..
Na Yoon-hee was taken aback when she saw her smiling slyly..
“Uh, sister.”
Seunghee Lee sat in the seat where Jaeun Lee sat..
“I didn't hear it on purpose. I came in for a cup of coffee, but it seemed like they were talking about something serious, so I waited..”
“……yes.”
“He was really rude. He's the guy I originally worked with.?”
Na Yoon-hee nodded..
Seeing Na Yoon-hee sucking and drinking juice with her head down, Lee Seung-hee said as if it was something special..
“It was really cool. I was worried because she stuttered and was timid, but she was very smart.?”
“Well, it's not like that..”
I was just desperate because I was denied something precious..
But Lee Seung-hee didn't think so..
Everyone wants a better life. Although the Berlin Philharmonic's salary was not a small amount of money, it was far from the 'glamourous life' that is commonly thought of..
It was admirable that my younger brother chose ‘the music he wanted to do’ at such a crossroads..
I am even happier because it is ‘the music of the Berlin Philharmonic’..
“Actually, I got an offer too..”
“ yes?”
“why. I heard that members of the Deutsche Oper Orchestra went to London. There are probably many people who have received such messages either knowingly or unknowingly from us..”
“It can't be……
“It's really amazing. Are you trying to buy someone with money? I don't know if that's how rich people think, but I don't like it..”
Na Yoon-hee nodded..
We came together as a coalition of musicians and music organizations to fight against Interplay's media play..
The success of Berlin Fantasia and Turandot proved that music could stand up to the power of capital..
“It's a positive trend. The number of people using Interplay is increasing.
But the number of people who only see that is not increasing. Compared to the growth of more than 10% every quarter, we are doing well..”
“I'm not interested in Interplay. Because it’s important that we do well.”
“Do I need to say anything? Yes, thanks to you, there are really a lot of new people coming in besides the existing fans. The second half of this year is definitely a win for us..”
Camilla and Himura were happy that the Berlin Philharmonic and I had prevented Interplay's solo performance..
I was like that too.
This idea slowly blossomed and solidified among the members..
There seemed to be an atmosphere in which other orchestras and individual performers were able to create their own music without giving in to interplay..
I found this phenomenon very desirable, and Furtwängler, Sakamoto, and Marie Jans also thought the same..
“Thank you to Dobin Bae and the Berlin Philharmonic for bringing great light to Berlin. This medal I give you is the heart of all Berlin..”
The mayor of Berlin placed a medal on my chest..
“Turandot by the Berliner Philharmoniker and Deutsche Oper was a monumental work that showed the direction in which opera would develop..”
The media and fans were very happy to receive the Eco Classic Award..
It wasn't something I really liked, but I was happy that our music was being loved..
I wanted to respond to the feelings of those fans..
“Come on, let's practice..”
“Let's do our best!”
The Berlin Philharmonic voluntarily did its best to expand its repertoire and improve the quality of its performances..
We continued practicing to produce the best music in line with the opening of the concert hall..
Considering the poor condition of the performers due to the tight schedule, an unprecedented number of members were being recruited..
Meanwhile, the news of three transfers, including Raymond Donech, came as a huge shock..
The atmosphere before practice started was not good. Hans, who could no longer bear it, came forward and spoke up for everyone's inner thoughts..
“How can you do that without even saying a word to us? No one heard anything from Raymond Donech.?”
“stop.”
“Isn’t Neuer angry? What on earth were we?.”
“Hans and Donek must have had their own circumstances. It's not because they ignore us..”
“What makes me angry is that he never told us anything about his difficulties. It means that we are only that much to him. What happens to us who have believed in that person and played along?!”
Everyone was silent.
Rationally, I respect Raymond Donech's choice, but as Hans said, I am disappointed that they did not inform us of the fact that we did not have enough money to pay for treatment for our sick son..
He only left a message to first violinist John Arthur, who was closest to him, that his son was sick..
Rather than the shock of the fact of his transfer itself, I could not bear the fact that he hid it from himself and avoided us..
a matter of trust.
For the Berlin Philharmonic, which was united by pride and a sense of belonging, it was a difficult thing to accept..
“It's not just Raymond Donech. He went out with three people. It's also an interplay that talks nonsense..”
“……Damn it. Let's all be honest. How many people here do you think didn't get an offer? Honestly, we were all shaken up. is not it?”
People who were angry at the deviations of Raymond Donech and the members began to complain..
Because I was hurt by the pride I had maintained while working through the harsh schedule,.
Some criticized those who changed their affiliation, others observed the situation, and others even said that Interplay's good environment should be acknowledged..
It can't go on like this..
stepped forward.
“Hans is right..”
“••••••movement.”
“But I don't blame him. I don't think anyone here would want to deny the time they had with him. Because it was fun.”
So did I.
“But he is gone, and we have to welcome new members and create a new Berlin Philharmonic. You learned about it through Berlin Fantasy and Turandot. That there are people waiting for our music.”
I spoke emphatically while making eye contact with each person..
“Each member is precious, but there is no member more precious than the Berlin Philharmonic instrument. And one fan
There can't be a greater orchestra. We just have to do our best for them. Just like it has been until now.”
Na Yoon-hee stood up..
“Yes, that's right. Well, I've only been here for a while, but I like Berlin's music. W, I love music with you..”
Manuel Neuer put his hand on Na Yun-hee's shoulder and gave her strength..
“What Bae Do-bin and Vice Chief Na Yoon-hee said is correct. It's just that the person who was supposed to go has gone. We should do our own music.”
Seunghee Lee stood up..
“It's inevitable that I have a lot of complaints, but I hope it doesn't affect me when I'm practicing or on stage. As the musician said, we don’t want to be embarrassed in front of the fans who came to listen to our music. Everyone is like that?”
Everyone nodded..
We're angry, but we know what's more important, so we just do our job..
A man visited the office building at the call of WH Group Chairman Yoo Jang-hyuk..
Woocheol Choi was a leading businessman who started from scratch and rose to the position of president of EI Electronics..
“Welcome.”
Chairman Yoo Jang-hyuk's secretary left the documents in front of Choi Woo-cheol, who was sitting down, and then walked away..
Choi Woo-cheol narrowed his eyebrows and looked at it..
“Isn’t this too much for someone who wants to be honest with his son??”
“ha ha ha! Doesn’t that sound like fun? It reminds me of the old days.”
