059. in Cannes (2)

After the situation was over, the restaurant busily set the table again, but it was still in a chaotic atmosphere.

Several police cars were blaring loudly and driving the perpetrators into the cars, and at the same time, the situation was being listened to by the customers of nearby restaurants.

(Fuxking Racist! For this to happen during a film festival! Those damn bastards are racist!)

(Does it make sense to blow smoke on pregnant women? Those young men are heroes.)

And the people in La-Alba all agreed on the bullies’ racism and spitting cigarette smoke on pregnant women. Jaeik, who fought against it, was defending himself.

(You may have to come to the police station later.)

(I will go anytime if necessary. Thank you for your hard work.)

(But it won’t be a big deal. As for the testimonies around you. Everyone is talking about racism and taking out weapons. You did a difficult job. Thanks to the teacher, the damage was minimal.)

In addition, the pass that Song Jae-ik presented for proof clearly stated that he was related to the entry, not simply touring the Cannes Film Festival.

After the interview with the police and entering the restaurant, the customers clapped their hands and greeted Jae-Ik.

(Ow sh*t! I felt refreshed! What a wonderful young man!)

(Sometimes. They’re doing racism.)

(Young men there! I’ll pay for the meal!)

(Thank you. Thank you. I’m glad everyone didn’t get hurt.)

“Are you okay?”

“Uh, are you okay?”

“What the hell. Did you learn it then? Krav Maga. When did you practice like that?”

“I mean. It worked out because I practiced. But what are you doing to block the front?”

“Huh? Can you say that I’m a young man from the Eastern Country of Courtesy who can’t stand injustice?”

Even though it was a dangerous situation, Um Kang-seok giggled, but when the situation was over, he sat down on his chair, perhaps feeling relaxed.

“Uh, what’s the identity of the boss? Paba Park – and then four bullies collapse.”

“I thought I was watching a movie.”

(Thanks to the little heroes.)

The president of La-Alba personally came out and served food, and Jaeik gratefully accepted it. Isn’t it polite to refuse too?

And it seems that it may be more burdensome that I did not receive the service. Because the other guests were already looking at them with sparkling eyes, wanting to give them something.

“This is true.”

“Maybe this evening or tomorrow morning, your video will be floating around on You Tube? Something like Asian martial arts or oriental kung fu. I need to raise it.”

“When was that filmed again?”

“If you are a planner and producer on YouTube, you should do this of course. And Suin-san’s professional spirit is amazing. I filmed everything from the beginning.”

“Embarrassed. Thank you anyway. This is delicious. Everyone try it.”

“If you want to say thank you, play the piano. There’s a piano over there. You shouldn’t have taken a video of the piano performance anyway. The situation is just right.”

Because in the center of La-Alba, there was a nice grand piano.

“Are you okay?”

After wiping my mouth with a napkin, I got up and went to the counter.

(What’s up?)

(If you’ll excuse me, can I play the piano for you? I’ve received a lot of service, so.)

(A piano?)

(Willing.)

When the employee noticed that he couldn’t answer, the boss came out and nodded happily.

Still, I thought I was saying that because I knew how to play the piano.

Song Jae-ik sat down in front of the piano and tapped the keys. clear sound. Management seemed to be good.

(I came to Cannes to attend the film festival, and I hope you accept it as a thank you for the kindness I have received from many people.)

And I looked at the pregnant woman the bullies had been arguing with. Suddenly, I saw a man holding my hand tightly next to my husband.

‘Where do you think I saw it?’

I felt as if I had seen the man’s face wearing a hat and glasses somewhere, but the piano performance came first.

Tchaikovsky? Beethoven? Mozart? Still, since I came to France, I thought of French composers. Claude Debussy and Camille Saint-Saens. They were the first two that came to mind. was also famous

Debussy’s “Moonlight” and Saint-Saens’ “Aquarium during the Carnival of the Animals.”

When he started playing, the French people stood out, and others were also surprised by his unexpected skills, but quickly fell in love with the performance.

It was the first time the people present here had heard the performance, but Song Jae-ik’s performance was at an unapproachable level. Moreover, after perfecting his talent, he has reached the level where he can touch his emotions.

People who were eating, people whose excitement did not subside easily, and people who were drinking.

And not just the inside, but also the people passing by La-Alba were immersed in the carnival of animals in Saint-Saëns, heard from the speakers connected to hear the piano performance.

“Your skills are still the same, Mr. Suin. Are you filming well?”

“Yes. Did you play the piano this well? This is a complete picture.”

Joo Soo-in almost fell in love with Song Jae-ik’s piano playing in a daze, but Go Ye-rim tapped his shoulder and was able to come to his senses and film the piano performance and the reaction around him.

(That’s right! Tchaikovsky’s Korean premiere!)

(I think I saw it on You Tube! It was that pianist! OMG!)

(That pianist is so good at martial arts?)

At the end of Song Jae-ik’s performance. Some of the guests must have seen Nutube, and soon recognized who Song Jae-ik was and shouted loudly.

At the same time, the area around La-Alba started to buzz. The genre of film itself was a genre that was not limited to any one art.

In other words, it meant that there were various people in the city of Cannes, where the film festival was held, and that there were people who knew the true value of playing the piano, such as directors and music directors.

(Hey, who are you!)

(Such a pianist is here!)

In an instant, the restaurant became noisy. Customers who had been listening to the performance outside the store rushed into the restaurant in an instant.

How could I pass this piano performance right in front of me!

(Hey! Guys come this way!)

While Jaeik and his party were perplexed, someone called them and guided them to the terrace, where the pregnant woman who helped them earlier held Jaeik’s hand with a grateful expression.

(Thank you for helping me earlier.)

(This way before people rush.)

The place I arrived by car over the terrace was a secluded cafe.

(I heard from my wife. You helped her. Thank you so much. How to pay this back.)

(No big deal. Any other person would have acted similarly.)

(No. There is a big difference between guessing that he acted and acting.)

Upon arriving at the cafe, her husband, who guided her there, hugged Song Jae-ik lightly.

(To think that this would happen when I went to a restaurant near a hotel first because I had a meeting with an official. This is embarrassing.)

Where did you see it? I must have seen it somewhere

Facing his face properly, Song Jae-ik kept recalling the memories in his head with the feeling that he had seen the man in front of him somewhere.

(Daniel… Duke?)

(Oh! You know me, so you must be in the movie business.)

Daniel Dukerani. As a film director, he was a director who produced high-quality results.

Didn’t you enjoy watching the movies he made, such as We and The Nice Guy?

“Daniel Duke?! Daniel Duke into the Mist?! Is that right, author?”

“Yes. I think that Daniel Duke is the director. Oh my God, meeting you here. It’s true that it’s a relationship.”

Joo Soo-in, who belatedly recognized the word Daniel Duke, felt his heart beat quickly. Aren’t you a world-class director?

Of course, he had a hat, glasses, and a beard unlike he thought, so he didn’t recognize him right away.

Especially when I think of the days when I studied scenes while watching the works he made, it was a really great thing for Joo Soo-in.

It feels like people who love soccer meet Messi.

“Writer, take that picture later. Please.”

“Okay. Let me tell you.”

(By the way, Martial arts on the piano. It’s a pretty strange combination. And if you look at the relationship with the movie side. Actor?)

To Daniel Duke, Song Jae-ik is tall and has a solid body. He was obviously giving a favorable impression, so I naturally thought he might be an actor.

(Oh, unfortunately not. I’m one of the producers. I’m one of the main animators in the non-competition director’s week invitational animation.)

(What? Animated?! Oh my God. Are you adding an animation to it? I can’t figure it out.)

Daniel Duke was genuinely surprised. If you were just an aspiring person, this was Khan.

An animation director who has entered the Cannes Film Festival. And his piano skills are beyond words. And even fighting skills that knocked out about five bullies.

(And also a YouTuber.)

Eom Kang-seok called himself a nertuber in short English and held out the screen of his tablet.

(Wow. 1.7 million. How amazing? What? Sings? Piano? Guitar? Martial arts? What the hell is it?)

Daniel Duke, who quickly browsed You Tube, became curious about this mysterious Asian young man.

(What is the title of the work being exported this time?)

(A trip to get lost. The director is Yeon Jin-woo. I am in Korea. Not North, but South. It will probably be screened for the first time tomorrow. The part I drew after the second half.)

Due to the nature of Cannes, where award-winning films are usually placed at the end of the film festival period, Daniel Duke thought he should go and see the film even though it was a little far from winning. There are a few things scheduled for tomorrow, but I can make enough time for them.

While we were chatting for about 30 minutes, a person who seemed to be the manager approached and whispered in my ear. He checked his watch and put on a puzzled expression.

(I-I’m sorry about this. I have to treat my benefactor enough. I have some work to do.)

(It’s okay. It wasn’t even the promised meeting.)

(Thank you for understanding. I will definitely repay you later.)

(Could you take a picture for me? I have a fan of the director. I watched and studied the movie he shot.)

(Ooh! If it’s a picture like that, I’ll have to take a hundred more!)

“Mr. Suin!”

At Song Jae-ik’s words, Jo Soo-in took a picture with Daniel Duke with a throbbing heart.

He said, frantically saying, “I’m taking pictures with Daniel Duke!”

(I’ll take my car. I’m close to the meeting place here. I thought it would be nice to take a walk with my wife. Please don’t refuse a favor. I’m sorry, so I want you to accept this.)

Jaeik gladly accepted Daniel Duke’s favor and was able to arrive at the accommodation comfortably.

“Everyone have free time until evening. Let’s have a light drink in the evening.”

“I’m editing the video. I need to upload today’s video quickly.”

Um Kang-seok went up saying that he had to edit the video and upload it to You Tube, and others went out of the hotel again saying that they were wandering the streets of Cannes.

—

And sure enough. Youtube videos started to come up one by one under the title of Master of Kung Fu at the Cannes Film Festival.

When Um Kang-seok uploaded a properly edited video.

[What happened in Cannes. Ep. One]

In less than an hour, the number of views exceeded 400,000.

Daniel Duke’s comments soon followed.

[Official: Daniel Duke: The hero who saved my wife. thank you! It’s an amazing channel?]

– It’s steamed! Director Daniel Duke!

– What is this man doing in Cannes?

– You Tube editors work! I mean upload a video!

– Wow. But isn’t this the Krav Ma you learned the other day?

– I use that in practice. Are you crazy?

– Doesn’t that mean that it’s effective enough to be used in real combat?

“Yes Yes! Please listen to me anytime. There is also a free one-time class, so you can come and try it for yourself to see if it suits you or not, and register!”

Krav Maga gym instructor, who collaborated with Song Jae-ik, looked at the sudden increase in membership inquiries starting yesterday, asking for something.

“Chief! Suddenly, there has been an increase in membership registration inquiries? what is it?”

The director looked dumbfounded and turned the monitor screen to show it to the instructor.

“Uh… I think it’s because of this?”

A video from the Challenge Everything channel was playing on the screen. Because in that video, Song Jae-ik was using Krav Maga to beat down a bully on the street.
