154. Battlefield Pianist (2)

(Do you think this is good enough?)

Harold’s production office. Jaeik and Harold smiled contentedly while listening to the finished music.

It wasn’t the completion of the whole musical, but it was true that it was progressing step by step.

(I think the rest of the songs will be completed within this month. The composers seem to have quickly understood the revisions you mentioned last time.)

Besides, it was safe to see that the first act was completed. There is only one reason why the period of completion has not been completed yet.

(Then, you can distribute the script to the people who auditioned and go into rehearsal for about the first act.)

It was possible after seeing the actual actors’ performances and checking to see if there were any parts to be corrected.

(That’s good. There’s still a lot of time for the second act. Just to see the actors’ skills.)

(You won’t be disappointed. I only cast the best actors I know who are currently resting.)

In addition to that, Jaeik was also curious about the skills of the actors Harold confidently cast.

I said this because I remembered Harold’s news that the casting of actors was completed when the idea of a new work with Ricky as the main character was in full swing.

The musical was based on double casting. When you say you perform about 2 times a day.

It usually lasts for over a month, but it’s impossible for one person to continue performing. It wasn’t hard either physically or mentally.

If so, would they be prepared for double casting and backup? I didn’t know much about Broadway or musicals, so I didn’t know how many stars were cast or how talented people were cast, but I heard that Harold put a lot of effort into casting, according to M’Flix’s story.

It must have been a good thing, I guess?

(Then let’s make an appointment as soon as possible. The contract is underway, so we can probably meet tomorrow as soon as possible. Everyone is looking forward to meeting the artist.)

There were 12 people in total. Of course, there were far more ensemble actors who appeared in actual musicals. Only the main lead actors.

(Please let me know when the schedule is finalized. And, if possible, I would like to see the actual performance of at least one scene from Act 1 on the spot. That way, if there is something to be modified, I will have to make it. The sooner the better.)

(Probably, I don’t think there will be much modification, but some parts of the song may need to be modified. Depending on the vocalization, diction, or skills of the actual actors.)

(That’s about it. It was common for dramas and movies to correct words according to the actor’s diction.)

Jackie nodded his head in satisfaction. Because it wasn’t difficult at all.

Recently, there have been a lot of talents that have been perfectly digested, and it was a musical made using those talents. I just hope that people will fully digest my musical and enjoy it at the same time.

If so, wouldn’t it be great?

“First of all, I made an appointment with President Ian. They say they’ll be back here in two days.”

“okay? nice That’s enough to get a first draft. I have something to say.”

Harold made an appointment sooner than expected, and the day after he brought it up, he made an appointment for a meeting. One real power.

“What to say?”

“Oh, yes. I’ve been thinking about it for a while. I’ll tell you first when that’s clear.”

At Jaeik’s words, Kangseok nodded his head indifferently. With the thought that something might be wrong.

“But when I heard it, I heard that the actors who were cast were no joke. There has already been a lot of talk about when your work will be on Broadway.”

“Where on earth do you hear that kind of news?”

“Everyone has a window. And isn’t this kind of information gathering what I’m supposed to do?”

I’m so interested in Hollywood gossip that I can’t bear to say that I made this kind of information window because I had so much fun while learning English, but I didn’t have to say it.

Let’s get to the building where Harold’s office is now familiar.

“Well? Doesn’t the atmosphere seem a bit sharp?”

“Well? I’m not sure?”

Jaeik was the first to tilt his head at the sharp corporate atmosphere that seemed to be sharp.

Should I say that I am strangely nervous or sharp? Of course, even so, it has nothing to do with you.

Upon arriving at the promised place, Jaeik’s expression became puzzled.

If the lobby was sharp, should I say that there is a sense of tension here?

(All have arrived.)

Arriving at the place where the piano and simple stage were prepared, Harold’s secretary greeted him again.

(Everyone arrived earlier than the appointment time?)

To that question, the secretary smiled lightly and nodded her head. Isn’t the director in musicals the captain of a huge ship and the person who holds the right to live and die for an actor? Besides, the directing even made music and dance in the script?

It doesn’t end here, but what if this person is an incredibly successful director and writer in Hollywood? tell me what to do Even if I say it twice, it only hurts my mouth.

Isn’t this musical no different from a guaranteed success?

As soon as he opened the door and entered, Jae-ik burst out laughing as he suddenly confirmed that dozens of eyes were focused on him at once.

I thought I could understand why the atmosphere in the lobby was sharp and tense. Everyone is looking at themselves like this with hot eyes, how can I not know.

Besides, I don’t know, but judging from the feeling and atmosphere, there will definitely be actors who are rivals, and there will be actors who want to advance to Hollywood.

‘It’s fun.’

In the end, what It means that these high-nosed people are looking at me so passionately in order to evaluate me and figure out what kind of person I am.

‘I don’t know, but I’m sure they’re all actors. Your self-esteem will definitely be strong. As it is a musical production company, the staff were nervous because they knew the value of the name. I was sharp because I couldn’t make mistakes.’

everything is fine Because I can and I am in a position to do that. However, what bothered Jae-ik the most was that they could see their arrogance, as if they had already been clearly selected for this role.

Conceit was poison, and it meant that this musical could go through a difficult process.

Of course, if you have enough skills, you don’t know. I mean, my eyes are pretty high.

‘I will never tolerate it.’

Jaeik grinned and made eye contact with the actors who were looking at him very naturally, and then stepped onto the stage where Harold was sitting.

(Nice to meet you all. It feels good to see the actors who will be participating in my musical.)

Jaeik smiled and bowed lightly before sitting down in front of the piano.

Isn’t it the way to work unless you’re sitting down and introducing yourself while doing I.M. Ground?

Especially if it’s like this.

(Well, I don’t need long words, right? Everyone seems to be ready, and I’m sure you’ve received all the sheet music and scripts. First, we’ll start with music number 3. The male actors, right? Next, get the female actors ready. Music number 7 is .)

Jaeik’s story raised the tension among the actors.

—

Dramas and movies seen in musicals and TV are definitely different. There would be a difference whether it was live or not, but more than that, there was a very big difference in the way of acting and vocalization.

A play or musical that takes place on stage requires people to see it from far away, and at the same time, they cannot catch even the slightest whispering sound or action.

Should I say it’s a kind of intentional exaggeration?

Jaeik, who touched the piano once to see if it was tuned properly, started playing the music number 13 he had told the actors about.

(This is about tempo. First.)

(Christopher Doyle.)

In line with Jaeik’s words, Harold called someone’s name.

Actor Christopher Doyle came up on stage with a nervous expression.

Battlefield Pianist Music No. 13. A song sung by the main character in the middle of the battlefield, looking up at the night sky as if confessing his feelings for her enemy.

As it is a song that is sung at the end of the first act right before the intermission and the song that changes the mood, the emotions of the actors are very important. Jaeik: Personally, I thought it was the most important song in Act 1.

Jaeik’s fingers tapped the keys and Christopher Doyle began to sing along with the instrument.

‘Hmm···’

However, there was no change in expression at all even when the song was almost over. He just looks at the next actor with a puzzled expression, as if he knows or doesn’t know, meaning to come up after the performance.

As soon as Jaeik was making cryptic expressions, neither smiling nor angry, the atmosphere instantly froze and the actors began to feel as if they were walking on thin ice.

Because that was definitely a negative sign.

three hours like that.

When all the actors have finished acting and singing.

Jaeik slowly opened his mouth to the actors who were looking at him. Three hours had passed, but the actors still seemed to be in a cold sweat from behind their backs at their expressionless appearance.

(You seem to be still lacking in practice or understanding of the work. Even though I already gave you the script, synopsis, memo with my personal storyline, and sheet music. I’ll see you again tomorrow at the same time. I hope tomorrow will be a little different.)

Without even looking at the actors, he grabbed the overcoat he had brought and glanced at Harold before leaving the room.

It was an obvious reprimand. The kind of look in your eyes asking if you really are the best actors you cast.

At the words of Jae Ik breaking the board properly, the actors’ expressions rotted.

—

“I’ll work on it, so if it’s urgent or if someone calls, take care of it.”

“Oh, yes. Good job. I’ll tell you when it’s time to eat, so pay attention until then. And when I looked it up, I heard that the cure rate for childhood cancer is over 80% these days. New drugs are also constantly being developed. So don’t overdo it by changing too much.”

After those words, Jaeik, who returned home, immersed himself in writing Ricky’s story again.

As with musicals, isn’t Ricky’s story writing a fast-paced thing once it starts to flow?

Besides, honestly, I don’t feel like I’m working on this article as if I’m chasing a deadline that I don’t know when.

It was a fact Kang-seok learned while talking to his parents to check if Ricky’s drawing he had drawn was delivered properly.

The story of Ricky’s cancer not being detected early. As the proper treatment time is late, I am actively working on treatment, but I am saying that I am anxious.

Still, thanks to Jaeik’s donation, he added that he was trying a new treatment and had a high chance of being cured, but it was an unavoidable fact that the previous story remained in his heart more than that story.

That’s why Ian McShane was coming the day after tomorrow. I was thinking of quickly deciding on the publication of the book on the spot and publishing it.

And I was thinking of donating all royalties from the first volume of Ricky’s story, which will be published at the same time, to children’s foundations around the world. So that it could be used for kids like Ricky.
