Beethoven Reborn Episode 214
48. Orchestra Daejeon(1)
Crayon Wiz was very happy to accept Furtwängler..
When I heard that a historical great would participate, the CEO and team leader bowed as if they were going to bow down..
The music itself may not be the only reason they are so happy.
Having experienced this many times, I knew how much the reputation of the participants affects the promotion of the work, and Furtwängler will definitely become a hot topic..
Even if it is not limited to classical music, many people know Furtwängler's name, and above all, since this is his first time participating in such work, the media will also pay attention..
It was a great opportunity for Crayon Wiz..
I thought it was good since it was Bae Young-bin's first theatrical animation as director and Furtwängler seemed to need something to kill his time..
the problem was money.
When Crayon Wiz requested three songs from me, the expected amount was 250 million won, which is said to be an unusual amount in the Korean animation industry..
The problem was that it did not meet my standards or Furtwängler's standards, so Camilla, who came to the negotiation table, was very displeased..
The negotiations seem to have been concluded somehow, as Crayon Wiz raised the amount a little more, increasing the down payment to 300 million won and the running guarantee and copyright fee ratio..
The final worry was how fans waiting and worrying for Furtwängler would react..
However, that problem was overcome more easily than expected, and you never know when you think about the feelings of a fan..
The unique appearance of Furtwängler, wearing a Hawaiian T-shirt and humming along throughout the city of Berlin, seemed to be fascinating, and social media posts showing his photos and meeting Furtwängler were posted day after day with good vibes..
‘With a feeling like, ‘This is my first time seeing something like that.’.
The Berlin Philharmonic members, who were embarrassed at first, were able to confirm that their conductor was having fun by looking at the posts and photos posted every day on social media saying ‘Pou Vengong was discovered!’ and soon put down their worries..
The conclusion was that it went in one direction, linked to our work to give Furtwängler a vacation..
I think it's important to know that everyone was satisfied..
“It's really amazing.”
On the day the contract was signed, Bae Youngbin spoke in exhaustion..
“what?”
“I thought it wouldn't be a lot, so I thought I prepared a lot..”
Himura once told me that movie music composition package contracts are usually priced at a minimum of $2,500 to $500,000..
In Korean Won, the price ranges from about 3 million to 550 million Won, and Christine Norman's most recent work, 'Dungerk Evacuation Operation' in 2017, received 1 billion Won..
It's already been more than 5 years since that time, so I know for sure that my standards are not typical..
When I told him that Furtwängler, who had been successful not only in conducting but also in composing for a long time, would be the same as me, Bae Young-bin said, 'I didn't have a choice.'.
I think he understands that Furtwängler has made a lot of concessions..
“you… … How much do you earn??”
“ me?”
Since it wasn't something I had to hide, I took out my cell phone and opened my household account book..
“Last year it was $17 million.”
“ what?!”
“Almost half goes to taxes.”
“uh. Uh oh.”
I was so entranced that I spoke loudly..
To be honest, after my annual income exceeded several billion, I didn't feel it that way no matter how much I earned, but it seems surprising to other people..
After finding some time to kill, Furtwängler relaxed and listened to various music.
spent time.
He was able to escape the pressure that was weighing him down by walking through the city of Berlin, which he would normally never think about doing, or drinking tea in a quiet cafe..
Although he didn't admit it, as the nervous man gradually softened, people around him began to nod inwardly..
Furtwängler had tea in a quiet cafe near the park.
On the table is the script and setter of Bongdal Circus that I received from Crayon Wiz.
There was reference material to help you understand..
Furtwängler received mostly completed animation files, but because he wanted to understand the work in depth, he read the material repeatedly..
‘There was a history like this in Korea..’
It was only after learning why Korea had no choice but to hate Japan that I was able to understand a little what my old friend, Ryoichi Sakamoto, said..
The relationship between Bae Do-bin and Japan seemed strange..
Today is also an untimely world history lesson.
Furtwängler, who was reading, suddenly looked at his watch..
‘this. It's late.’
He packed his bags and started walking slowly..
Recently, he often met Jin Dal-rae, an aspiring singer who stayed at Bae Do-bin's house, and her unique bright appearance became a new source of energy for him..
Furtwängler knocked on Bae Dobin's door..
Soon the butler opened the door and welcomed him..
Some people, including Ryoichi Sakamoto and Furtwängler, often visited Dobin Bae's house.
He came and went, and the butler knew what kind of person he was, so he treated him with respect..
“welcome.”
“Excuse me.”
“The two masters and masters are out, but I will contact you to inform you that they are waiting for you..”
“no. It's okay.”
While Furtwängler was talking formally with the butler, Azalea came down to the first floor..
“Grandpa! It's not late today?”
“If anyone hears it, they’ll think I’m late every day.
all. This guy. Then please excuse me.”
“yes. If you need anything, please call me anytime..”
Azalea led Furtwängler to her room..
Jin Dal-rae, who was learning from the basics again, felt that the academy classes were very boring, but because her close friends Bae Do-bin, So-so, and Na Yoon-hee were busy, she felt lonely..
Likewise, I was happy that ‘Grandpa’, who seemed to be leisurely, listened to my performance..
Today too, he sings a song he composed as accompaniment.
I played the bass.
Azalea, who played like she was pouring out her sweat until she was sweating, asked proudly..
“how is it! Today is better than yesterday?”
“ha ha ha. at all.”
“no! What's the problem??”
“Look. It's good to express your emotions, but doesn't your performance show no consideration for the listeners?.”
“uh, what is that?”
Furtwängler chuckled and explained step by step the eyes and nose of azalea.
And our mouths came together little by little.
“It's very difficult.”
“It's good to listen a lot, but if you don't think, your skills won't improve. I have to question everything and find the answer.”
“But I'm not smart.”
“There is no answer in music. There is no answer, so there is nothing wrong.”
“Then why do you say my playing is not that good??”
“Because music is listening. Don't you listen even if there is no audience? Because it is basically a job of conveying, you have to consider the listener's position. If it's not fun it's just noise.”
Furtwängler, who said so, gave Azalea the sheet music he had recently been working on..
“That sounds good, but I'm not sure. But what kind of song is this and I'm telling you to keep playing it??”
“Uh huh. They say if you do what you’re told, your skills will improve..”
The 1st OOTY Orchestra Daejeon is just around the corner.
120 orchestras from around the world applied to participate in this competition, hosted for the first time by the World Classical Music Association..
‘Along with Bae Do-bin's Berlin Philharmonic B, which proved to be the world's best orchestra with 'Berlin Fantasia' and 'Charles Braum'.
Vienna Philharmonic.
Munich Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra (Sonne Li Gergiev)).
Amsterdam Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra (Marie Jans)).
London Symphony (Bruno Walter)).
London Philharmonic (Arturo Toscanini). Chicago Symphony (Djerba Rubinstein). Cleveland Orchestra (Franz Mist)).
Los Angeles Philharmonic (Gustav Ha Nael)).
Budapest Festival Orchestra (Yervan Füscher)).
It was indeed worthy of the name ‘Daejeon (大轉, Great War)’ as the world’s greatest orchestras and masters gathered together..
There was a common purpose for the participation of so many bands, which was
It was because an unrivaled leader arose between them..
Until now, the question of where the world's best orchestra is was the same as saying that we wanted to fight..
Since there were many orchestras in Berlin, Vienna, Amsterdam, and London that could not be said to be the best, the debate was bound to intensify..
One year after Bae Do-bin's return to the Berlin Philharmonic.
As no one can deny, the growth of the Berlin Philharmonic was rapid, and so was its ability to mobilize audiences..
It touched the pride of other orchestras and conductors because it was undisputedly number one in terms of music and sales..
‘Defeat’ is impossible for someone who makes art..
Since they lived with pride and self-esteem, each of them thought that they were the best, but when a huge person appeared in front of them, their fighting spirit burned..
When Bae Do-bin responded to an interview asking what he thought about this fact, it was like pouring oil on a burning fire..
“I understand that Concertmaster Dobin Bae is participating in the OOTY Orchestra Daejeon. The goal, of course, is to win.?”
“Goal?”
“yes.”
“A goal is something you say when you set something that has not been achieved. I think the goal of winning should be other people's goals, not mine..”
When the interview video went viral, it caused an uproar all over the world. Ryoichi Sakamoto laughed and Furtwängler nodded..
Chairman Yoo Jang-hyuk looks at his wonderful grandchild.
He smiled happily and James Berman gritted his teeth..
“Anyway, I do all the things that stand out..”
And King Gau, who was afraid of small things, was wondering how to watch the OOTY Orchestra Daejeon, in which his younger brother also participated..
He lost *
Camilla explained how the OOTY Orchestra Competition works..
“In the preliminaries, a panel of judges conducts a three-day competition for each orchestra.
They say they will stay and proceed..”
“how?”
Double bass player Xien Yang raised his hand and asked:.
“They say they listen to a regular concert. It is said that they evaluate not only the performance but also various factors such as how comfortable the audience can watch..”
If as many as 120 bands gather in one place and compete, the cost of participation in terms of time and money is too high..
So it looks like they are holding the preliminary round in this way, but it still takes quite a bit of time.
It seems like it will lift.
“Then you have to wait 360 days.?”
“no. They say they are divided into several teams. It is estimated that it will take about 6 weeks to collect and compile the judgment data and determine the score..”
When Miss Xien seemed satisfied, Camila continued her explanation..
“There are 40 bands that can advance to the finals. They say they will be divided into A and B and hold a concert in Salzburg for a week. The due date is the last week of April and the first week of May..”
“It's close.”
Long distances to travel are clearly a major factor in deteriorating physical condition..
This is also the reason why Gauwang and I are not very fond of world tour concerts, and it will definitely have an impact on this competition as well..
‘Now that I think about it, it’s been a while since I’ve had any contact with King Gau..’
“The first song selected for the finals is one of Beethoven's symphonies. I'll leave the decision to Concertmaster Dobin Bae and the Berliner Philharmoniker B..”
Camilla looked at me and said.
nodded.
‘Eroica would be good.’
Camilla closed the manual, looked around at the members, and finally made eye contact with me once again..
“We've been doing well so far. I believe in you.”
“Do not worry.”
Of course, I plan to win so that Furtwängler can rest in peace and for more beautiful music..
The members also seem very motivated..
There's only one problem.
Along with Ryoichi Sakamoto and Wilhelm Furtwängler, I recognize him as a great conductor..
Marie Jans will be your biggest opponent.
