Beethoven Reborn - Episode 62
Beethoven Reborn Episode 062
15. 7Sal, together with the world(2)
From what I heard, ‘Increase’ is a trilogy of trilogies..
In other words, since it was the third movie, I tried to watch parts 1 and 2 to understand the story..
There was no need to ask Himura, my father had the DVD in his possession..
“Dobin, it’s a secret from mom.?”
“why?”
“……I bought it without my mom knowing.”
My father probably needed a hobby too.
I can understand that much..
My father, who must have been exhausted from physical labor every day, would have needed something to enjoy and relax on..
Above all, my mother and I must have been lonely while we were in Berlin..
When I nodded, my father felt relieved and played a movie..
“now. I need to pay attention from now on..”
“Do you understand? In this scene, the protagonist goes beyond pledging revenge and decides to become a symbol to suppress crime..”
“here. Isn’t this action here amazing??”
"..."
indeed.
I think I understand why my father was so excited when he heard about the production of the Black Knight OST..
You're clearly a fan of this movie, since you own the DVD and even bought a machine to watch it..
Now that I think about it, I remembered that there was an unused room in the house I moved into and there were several dolls of characters from the movie..
“Ugh. Look at that. really.”
“ dad.”
“huh?”
“It's disturbing.”
“……Yeah, that's right. Have fun watching it.”
My father looked sad, but I couldn't help it..
Concentrate as you don't have much time
You have to understand the movie, go to America, and start working right away..
Himura said that although he is not heavily involved in composition, there will be some requirements..
Taking that into account, the schedule becomes even tighter..
I picked up the remote control to watch the movie again from the beginning..
“……dad. How do I watch this from the beginning??”
I watched the movie over and over again about four times in two days and thought about it..
I could definitely see why my father and many others liked this movie..
A very philosophical yet engrossing story, so well told..
The characters, the story, the video, and the music are all attractive, so I was filled with anticipation for the three episodes for which I would make an OST album..
A week after deciding to make a Black Knight OST album.
‘This is what it feels like.’
After the contract was officially signed, I was able to receive the movie script right away..
At the same time, the demands for work from Hollywood Records and his predecessor, Hans Zim, arrived in writing..
Since I can barely speak English, Manager Park Seon-young translated it and showed it to me..
Hollywood Records did not comment on the songwriting, but did discuss the style and style of the work..
‘Just like when I composed ‘Brave Soul’, I just wrote the score and asked Ryoichi Sakamoto to do it.
I didn’t think I could leave it to you..
Hans Jim sent a message of support, saying that it would be a painful and difficult task, but that it would be possible for me, the writer of 'Greatest Hope' and 'Brave Soul'..
I have attached some materials that I used as a reference when working and that I intended to use in this ‘Increase’..
I have no intention of continuing this work, but I decided it would be useful at least as a reference, so I started looking into it..
I have no choice but to admit that I haven't really appreciated film music until now..
He made a surprising number of attempts, and was truly a man who explored sound..
There were methods in the material he showed me that I had not thought of, but in particular, the way he created the theme song used in Part 2, 'Black Knight', was very beneficial..
Even while watching the movie, I wondered what kind of instrument that was..
He experimented with none other than scraping the violin with a sharp object (knife) rather than a bow..
That's why it made such a creepy, yet incomprehensible sound..
As a result, we created good music that suited the character's image and allowed people to immerse themselves in the movie..
really.
It couldn't have been a fun job..
While at the Berlin Philharmonic, I thought I learned a lot about modern music that I had never experienced before, but it turned out to be nothing..
I was happy that there was so much left to learn and do and started to focus..
After four days, I headed to Incheon International Airport to catch a flight to Los Angeles..
“I'll always be by your side, so don't worry too much..”
“still……
“Do not worry. I'll call you.”
When I showed my cell phone to my worried mother and said I would call her if anything happened, she was surprised..
“Dobin, is that really something your grandfather gave you? she still had it?”
“ah.”
I forgot what happened with my grandfather because it was quite a while ago..
But my mother couldn't buy a cell phone right away, so she had no choice but to nod..
“First of all, I will use it while I am in the US and give it back to my grandfather when I return to Korea.?”
I have no intention of returning it, but I thought my mother would be uncomfortable if I didn't, so I nodded for now..
“I'll be back.”
I waved to my mother who hugged me tightly..
Himura and Park Sun-young headed to Los Angeles for the first time in two years..
* * *
“Ugh.”
“I feel sick?”
“are you okay.”
I don't vomit like I used to, but I can't feel good after being in a closed space for half a day..
When we landed at LA International Airport, a brown-haired man greeted us..
“Are you part of composer Bae Dobin’s group??”
“That's right. This is Shou Himura from Rising Star (Morning Star). This is Park Seon-young, an assistant manager from the same company. And this is composer Bae Do-bin..”
“This is Robert Lutz from Design Music Group. It’s an honor to meet you, Dobin Bae..”
Robert Lutz, who shook Himura's hand, extended his hand to me and asked to say hello..
I held his big hand and shook it lightly..
“We had you here while you were in the United States. Please feel free to ask for anything you need..”
“thank you.”
I didn't know what he was talking about, so I just said 'thank you'.
“Let's go to the studio. I'll take you there.”
As I was walking along with Robert Lutz, Sunyoung Park asked me:.
“Dobin, did you understand what I just said? When did you study English??”
“I just gave a rough answer..”
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
Himura, who overheard the conversation, laughed and said, 'What Dobin says can be taken very seriously, so next time, you must answer when your sister interprets.'.
While having that conversation, when I came out of the airport, a limousine was waiting for me..
I drive a lot of nice cars these days, and I think I should give my father one as a gift someday..
How much time has passed?.
“welcome. This is World Design Music Studio..”
It was an impressive building with an exterior wall that reflected the sunlight in silver and a large site..
I got out of the car and followed Robert Lutz into the building, and Sunyoung Park and I looked around in confusion..
As I got off the elevator on the third floor, a tall man hugged me tightly..
“What, what?!”
“We finally met! Welcome!”
I was startled and struggled, but I was so strong that I couldn't escape at all..
I was out of breath and kicked him with my foot a few times. Only then did he release me and introduce himself..
“David Baron. You don't know how much I missed you.”
I could tell that this fleshy man with a neck thicker than his face was the one who sent me a thank you email when I composed 'Greatest Hope'..
‘It's different..’
“Come on, let’s go in. haha!”
I was a little shocked to learn that the polite email and that monstrous man were the same person..
I definitely remember him as someone from the movie production company..
“Welcome to the World Design Music Studio.”
After settling down in what appeared to be a meeting room, David Baron formally greeted me..
As per impression, it has a straight accent and a loud voice..
“It's an honor to meet you, Baron..”
“I should actually say that to Bae Do-bin..”
David Baron looked at me and opened his mouth..
“Hans It was really bad that we couldn't find someone to fill Jim's vacancy. The movie's release date is just around the corner, but I couldn't find anyone who would do it..”
Certainly, when I think of the music used in Part 2, 'Black Knight', I understand that it was a great composition and that there were few people to replace it..
Even so, a person of that caliber cannot have other plans..
“Then I came to share the same thoughts with Hans Jim. He called me one day and asked. Do you know about a composer named Bae Do-bin? When I answered that I was a musician who saved the 'relic of death', he told me to catch you, Bae Do-bin. I didn't have to think any more.”
He smiled brightly.
“Thank you so much.”
Park Seon-young is next to him and interprets his words, and I wonder what it would have been like to have communicated directly with him..
He proudly and sincerely expressed his gratitude to me, and most of all,.
Those eyes that trust me give me faith that we can work together..
“Since the schedule is urgent, I have some settings made. In fact, I was thinking about doing it at the Arrow Studio, which Hans Jim used to use, but 'Greatest Hope' was done with the Los Angeles Philharmonic. It's close and I didn't know what would happen so I put the invitation on hold, but I'd like you to check this first..”
“yes. I like the Los Angeles Phil.”
You can trust the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Thomas Pils..
I had experienced it once before when recording 'The Greatest Hope', and it was too far away to make a request to the Berlin Philharmonic..
“good. Let’s recruit him right away. Maybe in two weeks we'll be able to record right away..”
“yes.”
“Next, we need to schedule a meeting with Bishop Christopher Belzebub. As you know, the original score requires careful reading of the director's desired direction. It's a meeting for him..”
“I don't have any problem.”
“good.”
“It'll be the classic way. But maybe that's why it's better.”
“It will be better.”
“It's good to have confidence. haha! okay! That's how it should be! I'm looking forward to it. please.”
David Baron held out his hand.
I grabbed that ugly hand and shook it..
