123. Disaster comes subtly

Hearing Jean Dumont’s suggestion, Kyu-ha seemed to think for a moment before taking off her hat and sanitary mask.

“Oh, you’re a better person than I thought. Even better.”

Jean Dumont was delighted with Kyu-Ha’s appearance, which has a neat impression and a strange charm.

“I couldn’t tell you because I was crazy, but I tell you to be Song Gyu, who is already working as an actor. I’m doing this food truck for a while because I’m filming a broadcast.”

Jean Dumont stopped as if the accident stopped for a moment at the completely unexpected identity of Kyu-ha.

Jean Dumont, who had been standing there for a long time, asked again if he had cleared his mind.

“So you’re already an actor, and you’re cooking like this for a while because of the broadcast, right?”

“Yes, that’s right. My main job is to be an actor.”

Then, when Kyu-ha found and showed the work he appeared in, Jean-Dumont burst out laughing.

“Heh heh, what a coincidence…”

“I had no intention of cheating. I asked the PD not to broadcast the teacher’s story. So I deliberately didn’t say it. I’m sorry if you were offended.”

“No, that’s not it. It’s just that all of this is amazing and feels like a miracle. Maybe God is giving me one last chance? I’m thinking about it. It’s even better. Please join me in my comeback. I beg you kindly I need you. This piece was inspired by you and was completely reborn.”

At this point, Kyuha also became curious.

What kind of work is it that you say you were inspired by seeing yourself?

“What kind of work is this? Shouldn’t I judge for myself whether this is a work I can do?”

At Kyuha’s words, Jean Dumont acknowledged his mistake and apologized.

“ah! I’m sorry. I was just too ahead of myself. Wait a moment.”

Jean-Dumont took something out of an old leather briefcase and handed it to Kyu-ha.

“Will you take a look at this?”

Even at a glance, a copy of the screenplay full of traces of the years.

It was a handwritten manuscript, with traces of revision here and there.

The script, which describes the actors’ movements and delicate emotional expressions in detail, was imbued with Jean Dumont’s passion and sincerity.

“Actually, the script is more than 20 years old. It’s a work that was completely buried because of me. It is time to come out into the world.”

“Can I come out?”

Kyu-ha asked because there were very few cases where a foreigner or an Asian was the main character in a French movie.

“Of course, it was initially written with black people in mind, but after meeting you, I made some changes to the scenario. The race of the main character doesn’t matter to me. If only the message you want to convey is conveyed well to the public.”

Gyu-ha, who stared blankly at the script Jean Dumont handed over, immediately received the script.

“May I go home today, read it, and give you an answer?”

“Of course. Of course you should. Please read it carefully and give me the answer. ah! If you can refuse, don’t be afraid. I have the confidence to come back anytime with other works. No matter what, call me again.”

So, Jean Dumont returned coolly.

***

Gyu-ha returns to the dorm after completing all the schedules.

As if to wash away a tiring day, I sat down on the soft bed after taking a shower.

Kyuha lifted up the script.

What kind of content did you want to appear in yourself so much?

[The melody that dances with the waves]

It was a title worthy of a French film.

When I opened the first chapter, I saw French written carefully in an essay.

As if being sucked into the work, Kyu-ha’s eyes stared heavily at the script.

***

The time is now 1960.

‘Ile de France’, a large French cruise ship with a capacity of 80,000 tons.

At the time, it boasted a catholic chapel on board, as well as luxurious buffets and various auxiliary facilities where you can taste food from all over the world.

The destination of ‘Ile de France’ is Korea.

About two years ago, in 1958, Korea and France maintained a solid alliance.

During the Korean War, France dispatched a special unit of the French ground forces under the United Nations (UN) forces, and South Korea had good diplomatic relations, such as upgrading the French legation to an embassy.

In commemoration of this, the Korean government specially opened Busan Port in the 1960s, and Ile de France obtained the qualification to enter Busan Port for the first time and was on its way to Busan.

There were people from all walks of life on board, including the upper class, immigrants, and workers.

Pernell, a musician on board, hears a strange cry.

“yes? what is this sound.”

When I went to the special class compartment where the sound came from, I saw a newborn baby crying sadly on top of the piano.

Surprised, Pernell hurriedly approached the baby.

“this….”

Looking at the baby wrapped sloppily in a wrapping cloth, I could tell at a glance that it had been abandoned.

It was because if it wasn’t for that, Asian babies wouldn’t have been left here.

Embarrassed, Pernell just looked at the baby crying in dismay.

“What the hell is this…”

That’s why you can’t openly abandon a living baby.

Pernell takes the baby and raises it with the help of the ship’s staff.

That’s how I went to the kitchen female staff, and when I was busy, I left the baby with Bruno in the internal combustion room.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the sailors raised the baby, and everyone gave affection to the baby, and even the name Alain came into being.

Time passed like flowing water, and Alain was 10 years old.

Alain, the only Asian in Ile de France, went to and from the practice room of Pernell, who he calls his father, like a playground.

At the same time, he naturally came into contact with music, and he shows an unusual talent.

One day, Pernell stopped by the internal practice room for a while and then went back to the practice room.

A strange sound came.

“Well? Is there anyone still practicing? Surely today is a day off?”

Perplexed, Purnell opens the door to the practice room and witnesses an unbelievable scene.

“Ah…no Alain!?”

There, Alain was tapping the piano keys with his fern-like hands, a feat I couldn’t believe was played by a 10-year-old who had never studied music.

“Alain, how did this happen? Who else did you learn the piano from?”

Alain, who had been cowering, knowing that he had made a big mistake, replied hesitantly.

“I’m sorry. father. I secretly looked at it because no one seemed to be there. I never learned from anyone. I just hit whatever I heard.”

Pernell doubted his ears at Alain’s words.

“Did you hit whatever you heard?”

Afterwards, a simple test was conducted, and Alain’s talent was astonishing to Pernell, who has lived through music.

“My God, such a talent.”

Seeing Alain show off his incredible talent, Pernell makes up his mind.

I want to teach you to play the piano

Pernell taught Alain with all his heart and soul.

At the age of 15, Alain was able to become a full-time pianist in the ‘Ile de France’.

After 10 years, Alain became a 25-year-old young man.

“Well….”

Although it was closer to an art film than a commercial film, Kyu-ha liked this film.

Is it a coincidence that the 14th dream, Ferguson’s life, comes to mind?

Is this also the arrangement of the being called God?

Why did such a script come to him after experiencing Ferguson’s life?

As the night deepened, Kyu-ha’s contemplation deepened.

“I can’t figure it out right now.”

I didn’t know the answer anyway.

Kyu-ha just decided to do whatever he wanted.

“I don’t know anything else, even for Ferguson.”

Ferguson, a genius pianist who died miserably after living without freedom for the rest of his life, blind from birth.

Kyu-ha hoped that the songs that contained Ferguson’s life would not be buried like this.

Among the songs Ferguson had composed, more than 30 songs were still waiting for the light of the world.

Since all the filming in Grenoble was over, we decided to move to Paris in the afternoon.

Early in the morning, Kyu-ha visited Jean Dumont’s house.

“Welcome. Nice to see you at my house.”

“Sorry for this early morning, old man. I plan to go to Paris in the afternoon.”

“It’s like, the older you get, the less sleep you get in the morning. Don’t mind it.”

“The script the elder gave me yesterday… I read it all night. It was a really great piece of work. To the extent that any actor would be greedy.”

“It feels good to hear that from you. I also looked for all the works that you said appeared yesterday. What a great performance.”

“Thank you for the compliment. I’ll tell you straight forward. [The melody dancing with the waves] I want to try the role of Alain. give me a chance There is probably no actor who can play the role of Alain better than me.”

It was an emotional tone that was neither arrogant nor arrogant.

As if this is the correct answer.

Jean-Dumont nodded at Kyu-ha’s expression, which was so obvious.

“It’s nice to be cool. Anyway, this script was changed after I met you, so there was no other option for me. Thank you. In a way, it must not have been easy to readily accept it as it is a comeback work for an old retired person.”

“no. Rather, it is an honor to be able to appear in the comeback work of the elderly. Before that, can I ask you one thing about your work?”

“Well? Something? Please tell me anything.”

“There will be quite a lot of piano playing parts in the play, so can I fill them with the songs I brought?”

“You mean the ones you played for me at the Place Grenette the other day?”

“Yes. These are the songs that came to me through fate. It’s a sad song to be killed like this.”

“If that’s the case, I’d rather ask. I’m going to tell you now, but the song you gave me as a gift called ‘Forgotten Solace’… I’ve never heard such a wonderful song in my life. It was like it caressed my soul. There must be a lot of other songs that you have, too. ”

When Jean Dumont held out his hand and asked for a handshake, Kyu-ha politely took it.

“It will be difficult to shoot right now. I’m trying to get in touch with people I’ve worked with in the past. Fortunately, everyone looked at it positively, so sooner or later the producer and investor will be decided. When that time comes, we will make an official casting offer through your agency.”

“Yes, old man. I’ll be waiting for you.”

The two said goodbye, promising to meet again.

***

The 11th arrondissement, slightly out of the center of Paris, France.

As the capital of France and a tourist city, many people were walking the streets.

“Kya~ After all, the trip is Paris. this emotion! Wow…the wine is pulling.”

Writer Park Yoon-hyang, who looked around and watched Yang Seong-il making a fuss as if pathetically, sighed.

“You are funny! what is wine What kind of wine are you talking about when you sang yesterday that you were craving soju?”

“It’s a lot… Soju and wine are also craving.”

Producer Son Jun-ik asked Yang Seong-il with a slightly tired expression.

“Stop talking nonsense, so where is the lodging?”

“It’s just a short walk from here. These days, there is no accommodation left for an event, so I set it a little outside.”

“Sungil has suffered.”

Yang Sung-il’s face widened at Kyu-ha’s words.

“As expected, the only one who understands my hardships is Gyuha-hyung. I’m impressed. T_T.”

“OK. Everyone had a hard time moving today, so let’s take a rest at the accommodation and see who we want to see. ”

“Wow~ Son PD is the best!!”

“It’s sightseeing, and I need to sleep at the inn.”

“hehehe, I’ve been waiting for today. whopping! The word that the dragon of death metal hyungs concert will be held in this area today!! This is a heaven-sent opportunity.”

Yang Seong-il, who was usually a fan of heavy metal rock bands, left for the concert hall making a fuss.

Gyuha also wore sunglasses and looked around the streets of Paris in the free time he had been given after a while.

how much time has passed

aaang

“Quaaa”

Did they say that disasters come subtly?

The streets of Paris, which had been peaceful, turned into chaos in an instant.
