Beethoven Reborn - Episode 7
Beethoven Reborn Episode 007
4. 4Sal, genius composer(2)
What on earth are you saying?.
a week later.
I met two people who came from Japan with my father and Bae Young-bin..
My father didn't know how to speak Japanese, so I brought my cousin along with me, but Bae Young-bin seemed to speak Japanese surprisingly well..
I was quite surprised to see that there was a certificate for Japanese language..
However, since an interpreter was brought from the other side, Bae Young-bin had nothing to do but just come out and eat the incredibly sweet food called parfait..
The parfait was quite edible..
“We were very surprised by this too..”
A place called Exton is probably a publishing company..
A Japanese man named 'Nakamura', who appears to be an employee of the publishing company, expressed surprise through an interpreter..
“We thought he was a former professional living in the countryside, but he was born in 2006. I can't believe it even when I see it with my own eyes..”
Nakamura looked at me intently..
I was so absorbed in the parfait that I felt his gaze and made eye contact with him..
If you look at those straight eyes, he doesn't look like a fraudster, but you don't know it yet..
People shouldn't believe this.
I've had people try to scam me several times in the past, so although I like merchants, I hate business..
When I turned my head, Nakamura smiled and spoke to my father..
“Brother.”
I spoke to Bae Youngbin in a whisper..
“If those two talk about something else, you have to tell Dad. please. Understand?”
“okay. okay.”
Even though he was a bit of a weird guy, I was fortunate to have Bae Young-bin, who was able to speak a foreign language (Japanese) at a young age..
At least it didn't seem like it would be easy to get scammed..
“actually… … I, too, am a little embarrassed. Under normal circumstances, I would have asked you to sign a contract right away, but I guess……
“You are suspecting that the song was not written by my child..”
After hearing what his father said, Nakamura waved his hands and tried to deny it..
“I sincerely apologize if you felt offended. However, I hope you will think of it as a desire to confirm, not doubt..”
“Umm.”
When his father paused, Nakamura seemed a little embarrassed..
If those men don't mess around with the contract, I guess I can leave the negotiating table to my father..
Even though he was poor, I heard that my father was faithful to his studies..
My mother also has a good academic background. I don't know why they are poor, but whatever..
“first of all.”
My father looked quite serious..
Except for the fact that he likes me a lot, he's usually very cautious, so there's no need for me to stand up for him..
“I came here with the thought that it might be an opportunity for Dobin. Even now, I think it's okay to do something like this after Bin grows up, so if she doesn't believe it, I want to pretend it never happened..”
cancel message.
1You have to receive hundreds of millions of won, but you can't go out like that, father! You should think about getting more!
As expected, Nakamura became thoughtful after hearing his father's words..
The gap between Exton and my father is whether I really have that level of composing ability..
If you prove it, it will be narrowed down..
‘I can't help it. There may be a better offer than this, but money is urgent right now..’
“Man, please give me some paper and a pen..”
“ Dobin?”
“I'm bored.”
When my father called me with concern, I made the excuse that I was bored..
The interpreter hurriedly took out a pen and paper from his bag, and I started writing down the song I was trying to complete this time..
“……I can't believe it.”
Nakamura said something, but I couldn't understand it..
This is because the interpreter did not necessarily interpret the words..
However, I could guess that it was probably something like exclamation..
Anyone who is educated in music will be able to imagine the song I am writing now in their head..
I thought that if you couldn't recognize this perfectly orchestrated score, you didn't deserve to sign a contract with me..
In that respect, I also tried a person named Nakamura..
Nakamura quietly got up from his seat and came towards me..
Maybe you want to see what you were looking at upside down..
“Ah, father. I wonder if Dobin remembers this?.”
Nakamura's words were translated and relayed, and my father responded curtly, as if he was offended..
“I don't know. Dobin, this is a place we made a while ago.?”
“As I was organizing it in my head, everything came to mind and I wrote it down. Ah, this part is the most important. … … This would be better.”
Nakamura urged the interpreter..
It seemed like he wanted to know what the conversation between me and my father meant..
As the interpreter relayed a few words to Nakamura, he seemed shocked..
I didn't say anything and just looked at the sheet music blankly, like a person lost in fascination..
“hmm. If you have nothing more to say, I'll just leave..”
“Now, just a moment.”
Nakamura stopped his father with his body as he tried to stand up, and his father got a little angry, asking what he was doing..
Then Nakamura bowed his head deeply and shouted loudly..
“Your child is a genius who comes along once in a thousand years. Please allow that talent to blossom with Exton. please.”
The embarrassed interpreter began to relay Nakamura's words belatedly, and my father was troubled..
‘Man, you have eyes for people..’
The man named Nakamura seemed to have quite an eye for insight..
A person who only appears once in a thousand years?.
This is an expression I really like..
“……Our Dobin.”
It was then that my father spoke for the first time without hostility..
“Is our Dobin really that talented??”
“That's right. I have never seen anyone like this before. It is a rough stone, no, it is an already finished gemstone. It is a talent bigger and more beautiful than any other diamond in the world..”
Nakamura's eyes were extremely serious..
His father looked at him, then closed his eyes and exhaled..
Then he turned his head and looked at me and asked.
“Dobin, do you like the music??”
“yes.”
It's so obvious.
“……How did you say the contract works??”
My father sat down again and opened his mouth, and Nakamura repeatedly bowed his head and said thank you..
‘I'm sure you'll be fine with it now..’
From now on, it was no longer the place for a 'child' to step forward, so I continued what I was doing on paper..
[I made a new song. Each time you complete a song, a certain amount of experience is accumulated..]
[‘'Väterliche Liebe'-New]
[Overall rating: B+]
[Completeness: 91, Artistry: 94, Popularity: 71]
When I wrote down the last note, 'letters' named Notification Window came to mind..
Now that I'm pretty used to it, I checked the score and it's still at a level I'm not satisfied with..
‘Even if the perfection and artistry are okay, what is the popularity??’
I don't even dare to rate this song by Ludwig van Wetthofen, I give it 21 points..
It's ridiculous..
As expected, this ‘God’s Play’ is not worth watching..
“••••••then?”
“yes. Exton will cover all costs, including production costs. All Dobin needs to do is compose music as he has done so far. As you requested, Dobin is still young, so if necessary, we will come to Korea to work on it..”
“thank you hmm… … The contract period is 3 years..”
“That's right. We will pay 20% of all income for 3 years after deducting the pure album production costs. Instead, as you mentioned, we will increase the down payment and revise it to 15 million yen. I don't know if you think I'm being kind to my father, but.”
“Ah, I clearly remember that explanation. also… … Settlement is done four times a year.?”
“yes. This is company policy, so we can't help it, but if you want, we can pay in installments that month..”
“Please attach all settlement documents..”
“Of course I will.”
My father seemed to be worried,.
“And if there is something my child wants to learn. … … If Dobin needs anything, can you ask for it??”
He opened his mouth again.
“On the contrary, this is what we would like to ask you to do. We will specify this in the special contract..”
I don’t know if you like the answer of the man named Nakamura or not..
My father closed his eyes and was lost in thought..
Because it was not a word that my mother and father usually used at home, it was difficult to properly understand the content of the conversation..
I could at least feel that my father was carefully taking care of something..
Then he opened his eyes and.
“……Please take care of my child.”
My father opened his mouth heavily..
It warmed my heart to hear in that voice how much thought my father put into his decision..
‘Very different from ‘John’.
‘……I must succeed and make this person happy..’
promise. I promised again.
I don't know, but it seems like all I have to do is write a song and make it into an 'album'..
“Bro, what is an album??”
“It's a CD.”
“CD?”
“Don't you know CDs? this this.”
After nodding, Bae Youngbin took out one of the ‘somethings’ on the bookshelf..
When I opened the case, I saw something round and flat..
“ah. know.”
I used it when my mother always played music on audio..
You can always listen to the same song by adding it to something like this..
It's truly an amazing thing in the world.
After Nakamura visited.
I met a producer at a place called Exton and talked about various things..
The producer didn't make any big demands, perhaps because I was young..
However, he wanted to know in detail about what I could do, so he answered my questions faithfully..
However, I don't know many words, so I don't know if he understood it properly..
‘In any case, since you are the one giving the money, you should be nice to him..’
Artists live for those who understand them..
Knowing means money too.
money is the best.
Moreover, my family is very poor now, so I had no choice but to be even more desperate..
‘I would not have existed without my friend Ferdinand von Waldstein and Archbishop Maximilian Franz..’
So, as long as you don't interfere with my songs, you should be nice to me..
If there was a song you wanted, he was willing to make it for a while..
I hate writing songs that suit other people's tastes, but I'll have to endure it now that I'm in dire need of money..
"hmm..."
“why?”
“Oh no.”
Fortunately, the producer spoke Korean, so we were able to communicate easily..
After answering some questions, I started to think seriously about something..
‘Why are you doing that in a bad mood??’
“Dobin, by any chance, who did you learn this from??”
There is no way I can answer.
4As I grow older, I also understand a little bit about this world..
The Republic of Korea is full of amazing things, but being reborn is still an unrealistic story..
It was obvious that if I told anyone about who I studied and who I was influenced by, I would be treated like a crazy kid..
“Bach, Mozart.”
This is the answer I can give.
I can't go into detail.
I studied directly with Franz Joseph Haydn, but... … It wasn't a very good relationship..
All I can do is mention the two great men who inspired me..
When I slowly raised my head, the producer muttered in disbelief..
“Is it possible to learn this much about music just by listening to the music without a good teacher?.”
There seems to be a misunderstanding, but it's not that important..
The producer shook his head and looked at the answer sheet and sheet music I had written once again..
“I guess it's Beethoven..”
said.
“Beethoven?"
It's a name I've always been curious about..
I couldn't figure out who he was.
“okay. Beethoven. Do you like Beethoven??”
“Who is Beethoven?”
“hmm? I don't know Beethoven?”
The producer got up, sat down at the piano, and played my 14th piano sonata..
The playing skills are acceptable..
There's still a lot to learn.
“You're the one who made this.”
“••••••yes?”
This is some kind of dog-eat-dog sound.
‘I couldn't say 'I made it!' and I could only look at the producer in bewilderment..
“After all, he’s a kid..”
Haha, the producer laughed softly and came back to sit in front of me..
“Beethoven is a truly great musician. He's a guy who plays music, no, he doesn't know anyone.”
“So who is Beethoven? The person who created the song just now is Ludwig van Wetthofen..”
“Wetthofen?”
“Betthofen. Ludwig van Wetthofen.”
“ Ahhh.”
“huh?”
“ha ha ha. Dobin must have studied German. Yes, that's right. That's the correct pronunciation. Yeah yeah.”
"....?”
“Ludwig van Wetthofen. That's because your song has that vibe..”
no. These people.
Isn’t there a degree of rudeness?.
People in Korea all know me as ‘Beethoven’?
When I asked, the producer explained this..
I can't admit it, but listening to the story, it doesn't seem like there's anything I can do to change it..
I was shaking with anger..
anyway.
“I am Beethoven... … He writes songs like an Iranian?”
“huh. They look very similar. Ah, it's a compliment.”
this person.
He is a trustworthy person..
