Beethoven Reborn Episode 009
4. 4Sal, genius composer(4)
“oh my god.”
“Mr. Nakamura, this song was really written by a 4-year-old child.?”
“yes. It's true.”
General Manager Nakamura and Bae Do-bin's
Dedicated producer ‘Himura’ prepared the event..
Of the eight songs signed with Bae Do-bin, only one sheet music was completed, and the level of completeness was completely different from that previously posted on the Internet..
Before recording.
4It was an opportunity to share the overall interpretation of the song and deliver the composer's comments while looking at the score created by Sal..
However, no one would have guessed that the piano trio called 'Auferstehung (Resurrection)' was the work of a 4-year-old child..
The messy score was so detailed that it felt truly 'perfect', and even the number of beats of the metronome was written down one by one..
It was a song on a completely different level from the one that was first posted on the online community..
“……Just kidding?”
“ha ha ha.”
Watching the performers exclaim in small admiration at the score, Nakamura internally confirmed that his eyes were correct..
Extone, a leading Japanese label, received a tip from an employee a few months ago..
'YEAN' uploaded several songs created through a program called Vocalide.’.
The nickname 'YBEAN' uploaded 8 songs to a community site called Nicodong in a short period of time, and the response was explosive..
It was classical music, no, it was classical music itself, different from existing original songs, but people's response was enthusiastic..
Because it was a very different genre of music, the reaction was even more noticeable..
‘What everyone who heard YBEAN's music admired was the 'emotion' conveyed through the melody..
‘'Resurrection' expressed extreme despair very well with a crazy emotion..
The bold melody from the intro gave the listener shivers..
The unknown 'shudder' began to spread by word of mouth, and 'YBEAN' quickly became a hot topic..
There was even a situation where a post on Nicodong that Youngbin Bae had posted under his own ID was re-exported to a bulletin board in Korea..
ㄴ Who is this??
ㄴ I don’t know. There was talk of him being a professional, but it was all cards..
ㄴ What is a pro? Didn't you copy something? 8 songs in 3 months doesn’t make sense..
ㄴ Or ㅇㅇ I looked all over, but I came across you. Isn’t this a new song from a Japanese record label? To see the reaction.
ㄴ Some crazy person uploaded 8 songs to see the reaction.
B ㅇㅇ. Same idea.
ㄴ By the way, is it true that all 8 songs have over 1 million views??
Exton's staff, who were surprised that a song with no lyrics had caused such a stir, checked the song and submitted it to the team meeting without hesitation..
Bottom line is, I can't believe it..
The first few songs were very crude, but as time went by, it felt like I had become a different person..
I thoroughly searched to see if it was a plagiarized song, but I was certain that it was a completely original song..
“Definitely a pro.”
“You have to catch it. Is there anyone these days who can produce classic songs like this with such quality??”
Although Japan had a world-class consumption of classical music, it was also true that there was a lack of suitable talent recently..
There have been songs created by many geniuses in the past, but if new music does not appear, their lifespan will come to an end someday..
Exton, who was busy looking for new talent, didn't have to worry anymore..
“Let's find out.”
As a result, I found out.
Nakamura and Himura couldn't help but believe their eyes..
“We were very surprised by this too..”
Nakamura blurted out the words without realizing it..
‘YBEAN's true identity was that he was a child of about two or three years old at most..
Did you say you are four years old in Korean years??
I couldn't believe it.
It was enough to make me wonder if this child's father was playing a prank..
however.
‘Unbelievable.’
Nakamura was confident as he watched Bae Do-bin fill in the blank staff before his eyes..
Finally, heaven sent a new genius.
but.
“Umm. It's definitely a great song, but it seems like it was written by a 4-year-old..”
“yes.”
“Did I understand this correctly??”
The problem was that the sheet music was very dirty..
There was no bad writing like this..
Regardless of whether he had a genius musical talent, reading Bae Dobin's score was quite embarrassing..
‘I guess I'm still young.’
Bae Do-bin's dedicated producer Himura thought that Bae Do-bin would naturally improve as he got older..
But that wasn't the only thing that bothered me..
‘It's strange. How could that little child be like this?..
Himura couldn't shake that thought..
It is difficult to read because everything from the symbols used in the score to the way it is written is scribbled..
There wasn't a single mistake..
According to what I heard from General Manager Nakamura, her parents also never taught Bae Do-bin anything..
Himura could not help but be suspicious of this incomprehensible situation..
‘Are you committing fraud to gain fame??’
However, since I saw with my own eyes the process of Bae Do-bin writing the score himself, I could not raise my doubts..
Furthermore.
“This is a mess, so I'll give it back to you..”
Bae Do-bin, who had started rewriting 'Resurrection', which was posted first, corrected it and gave it to me within a week..
It was not the ‘resurrection’ that ‘Exton’ and the ‘world’ knew..
Is it really possible for a person to pursue perfection??
It took a really long time, but Bae Do-bin wrote down all the information he needed to play..
No, it was as if the score was giving a command to play like this..
So, with the completed score in hand, I immediately set up a meeting with the musicians..
“this… … not too fast?”
The pianist looked at the score and groaned..
It was a piano trio in which the piano had a larger role, and the speed of performance expressed by the metronome was so fast that the burden on the pianist was inevitable..
When Himura checked, it was indeed fast enough to make even a decent pianist hesitate..
“hmm… … . Well, I might have written it down by mistake. Are there any other opinions??”
“yes.”
“great. Let's schedule it for next week. Thank you for your effort.”
“Thank you for your effort.”
After finishing the meeting, producer Himura hurriedly boarded a plane heading to Seoul..
“yes. that's right.”
Umm.
It seems like it's still the same now that I have a hard time reading my sheet music..
I don't know why people don't understand that emotions need to be included in sheet music, but it's amazing that they take such care to check..
I smiled and nodded..
“Hmm.”
But the reaction is a little strange.
“Dobin, actually, I think the playing speed of this part is too fast. what do you think?”
I couldn't help but blink and look at the producer..
What does this mean again?.
How dare I disagree with Ludwig van Wetthofen's music?!
However, I also have the generosity to enlighten this person’s ignorance..
“That's how I should express it..”
“Mmm. Is there any room for correction??”
“no. no.”
You have to speak like words to be heard.
I was very upset because the producer tried to say something strange..
I can be lenient on other things, but I have no intention of giving up an inch when it comes to the song..
‘‘Resurrection’ is a song that emphasizes emotional expression through dramatic change..
Playing speed is also a part of expression..
The producer looked troubled, so I told him firmly..
“Well, think about it one more time.”
“no! no!”
“……haha. okay. I get it.”
He nodded and started asking about the progress of the next song, even though I told him clearly, if he does this again next time,
I will give you a hard scolding..
After a while.
After the explanation of the score was over, the producer said something strange..
“By the way, why don’t you go to Japan next week? With my father and mother. I think I might want to watch the recording, and I also have to do an interview to use as a press release..”
“sidewalk? interview?”
I didn't know what he was talking about so I asked him back and he said it was for publicity purposes..
I don't know what it is.
“So that many people can listen to Dobin’s album.?”
“Then you make a lot of money?”
“money? ha ha ha! okay. Maybe if it's Dobin, he'll become popular in no time..”
Then of course I should do it..
I nodded my head vigorously..
