137. Why are you even doing this?

“How did this happen? Isn’t that person supposed to be a performer and not a performer?”

A student’s cry threw the classroom into further chaos.

It was because no one expected Kyuha to appear here at all.

If you think about it, fighting is the image, and the hero who saved French citizens suddenly came to the National Higher Music Conservatory in Paris to play the piano.

Who would imagine that he would perform at a level that surpasses that of a professional pianist?

“I will now explain why actor Song Kyu-ha came to play here. This is purely because of my stubbornness.”

Professor Lucas informs the students that he will be the music director of the comeback film of director Jean Dumont.

He also revealed that Kyu-ha will appear as a pianist in the play.

“Ah… that’s how it happened.”

“Hey, that’s amazing. There is a person in front of me that I only saw on TV.”

“But wasn’t Ssong originally a martial artist? Did you play the piano that well?”

“I’m a song fan and I knew I had great musical talent, but I didn’t know how to play that much…”

As the classroom became cluttered once again, Professor Lucas refreshed the atmosphere.

“Anyway, if you have any comments or questions about the performance, ask.”

Then, a rare scene unfolded where most of the students in the classroom raised their hands.

It was a rare occurrence due to the nature of music students who are mostly introverted and shy.

“When did you start playing the piano!?”

“It was dark a while ago so I couldn’t see well, but when I heard the sound…”

Questions about Kyuha poured in, and like a music college student, there were many questions about the musical part.

Professor Lucas once again swallowed his surprise at Kyuha’s flowing answer.

“Your musical knowledge is amazing. It seems that I was firmly held by preconceived notions. I am ashamed of this.”

Lucas recalled Kyuha playing the piano in the dark.

I’ve been making music for over 50 years, but it was a fresh song that Lucas was hearing for the first time.

It was a skill and emotional delivery that gave me goosebumps even when I recalled it again.

“Above all… how can you play the keys with such precision when you can’t see an inch ahead?”

Lucas knew.

While playing in pitch-black darkness, Kyu-ha never missed an octave.

Would it have been possible for you?

“no. It’s impossible. Unless you were blind from the start.”

Lucas stared blankly at Gyuha, who was diligently answering the students’ questions.

“I can see why Jean Dumont pushed so hard. He is a mysterious person.”

Professor Lucas was also well aware of Kyuha’s righteous act in Bataclang.

He too, as a Frenchman, was deeply grateful.

Trium Over, where Kyu-ha appeared, was not to my taste, but I was also a viewer who enjoyed it quite a bit.

But the ball is the ball and the four who live.

It was a scratch on Lucas’ self-esteem to have the music played in the play taken from outside.

I even inquired about Kyu-ha’s piano history, hearing that he played the piano himself without a band, but I couldn’t get any information that he played the piano anywhere.

In [The Melody Dancing with the Waves], Alain is a genius pianist, and the key is to show his performance skills enough for the audience to understand.

It was nonsense at the level of playing the piano as a hobby.

It was Lucas’ true intention that he wanted to show an example to actor Song Gyu-ha, who seems to know the piano lightly.

So, at a production meeting, he asked for a test on his piano skills, and he accepted the ridiculous offer.

No, rather, he even made a counter-proposal that he wanted to be evaluated solely for his performance in a blinded state.

Lucas was stunned.

“Huh… do whatever you want.”

However, it is a celestial melody that seems to light up the darkness.

A melody line that matches the title so well.

Lucas shuddered at the thrill rising from his toes.

Fortunately, no one saw it in the dark.

Professor Lucas, freed from his thoughts, looked at Kyuha again.

None of the students who asked the question evaluated the performance.

Even he himself is at a loss as to what to say about the performance.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the classroom became like Kyuha’s fan meeting.

Professor Lucas, who hastily finished, brought Kyu-ha to the professor’s office.

A cup of steaming, homemade earl gray tea was set down on the table.

“Have a drink.”

“I will drink well.”

Hurulup

“I think it’s in order to apologize first.”

“no. It was a pleasant experience.”

It was true.

Kyu-ha wanted to try playing the piano properly,

I thought I had a good opportunity through Lucas at the right time, so I didn’t have any complaints.

“To be honest, I didn’t believe in your playing skills. If an actor could play the piano, how much would he play? The idea that After all, it was my naive preconceived notion. Anyway, you said that, but where did you learn to play the piano?”

Kyuha pondered over how to answer Lucas’ question.

It was because I thought it would be perfect to be treated like a madman if I said I learned it through my dreams.

“It’s just… I’ve been interested in it since I was young, so I’ve been practicing little by little. Instead, I have been practicing steadily.”

“You mean you’ve been self-taught!? that skill?”

Lucas’ eyes widened.

“No, that’s not it… Someone taught me, but he left right away…”

“I learned it for a while, but is that level of skill? Hey guys, don’t you have any intention of doing music right now, besides being an actor?”

It seemed that the misunderstanding was getting deeper and deeper.

Afterwards, Lucas, who had been arguing in excitement for a long time, cleared his throat as if he had come back to his senses.

“Large. I’m sorry. I saw ugliness. I forgot the purpose of your coming here for a moment. The songs you just played were really amazing. It was a song I had never heard before, but I could tell at once what kind of mind the composer had when he wrote the song just by listening to the melody. Can you guess who the composer is?”

“This song was made about 150 years ago. The composer is a pianist named Janelle Ferguson, a truly forgotten genius pianist.”

Kyu-ha explained to Lucas about Janelle Ferguson’s unfortunate life and his brilliant talent.

Lucas listens to the secret story with interest.

When Ferguson’s talent shined, he clapped like a child,

When I heard of his miserable and unfortunate situation, I felt sorry for him as if it were my own.

“To think there was such a person… He was a genius born in the wrong era. What a pity. But how did such a person’s will lead to you?”

Gyu-ha was hesitant to answer Lucas’s question.

“but. It’s not that important. In any case, the important thing is that the songs of his life have been passed on to you. Destiny is fate. So, how many songs did he leave behind?”

Gyuha took something out of her bag.

“This…?”

“This is my notebook where I wrote his songs. Would you like to take a look?”

As if Lucas was bewitched, he handed over the notebook Kyuha held out.

lightly

The notes are pierced. Lucas examines each song as if dissecting it.

Gradually, his pupils trembled.

“Oh my God, such completeness and novelty… I am amazed. I can’t believe it’s a song from 150 years ago.”

Most of the songs were completed before Ferguson reached adulthood.

As a result, the song was filled with the boy’s unique innocence, but since the perfection was never light, this made it feel fresh.

“Janelle Ferguson truly loved the piano and wanted to make people happy. As a person who has accepted his will, I want to carry on that will. So, I plan to release these songs in this movie. Please. Director Lucas. Can you work on these songs?”

Carefully putting down the notebook, Lucas nodded with sparkling eyes.

“I would rather ask. I want to work properly with these songs. It’s good enough music by itself, but it seems to need some arrangement to match the color of the movie. If you allow it, let’s work properly.”

“thank you.”

That’s how the two agreed on music.

“These songs. Have you registered the copyright? I don’t know, but if it’s a song like this, the music will be very popular after the movie is released. So if you haven’t done it, I’ll do it in advance.”

“Copyright registration is complete. And all proceeds from these songs will be used for the foundation.”

“Foundation? What Foundation?”

“This is the Janelle Ferguson Foundation, which I created. It was established to support children with talent but financial difficulties or children with disabilities.”

Lucas clicked his tongue in surprise.

“Huh… When will that happen again…? It’s a bit silly to say this, but why are you doing this? Honestly, if you were a person from 150 years ago, no one would remember it, and no one would say anything even if you took all the profits.”

“It’s just… because Ferguson isn’t like everyone else. Money is not very important to me now. That meaning is more important.”

“The righteous man, the righteous man… he certainly thinks differently from other people. you.”

In fact, Ferguson was one of Kyu-ha’s sculptures, not someone else, so I wanted to let people know about his existence and will even now.

Lucas looked at Kyu-ha with eyes like that of a fanatic.

“Don’t worry. Even if I stay up all night, I will work with my soul so that these songs will not fade.”

“thank you. Then I’ll just step back. See you again soon.”

“Okay. I had a hard time today And thank you for breaking my stupid and narrow world.”

***

one month later.

Port of Saint-Nazaire in northwestern France.

“Hey.. From the outside, it looks like a real cruise.”

Finally, for the first filming of [The Melody Dancing with the Waves], Kyu-ha visited the port of Saint-Nazaire where the set was located.

‘Ile de France’, the name of the cruise ship in the play, took over an abandoned cruise ship at a bargain price and remodeled it into a set.

Another feature of this huge cruise ship set was that only the port side was made.

“Anyway, since the production cost is burdensome… it must have been made like that, right? In addition, the time is tight, so filming right away without a script reading.”

In fact, even if it were a closed cruise ship, it had its original size and the remodeling cost would have been prohibitive, so Han Jeong-hee nodded as if she understood.

In addition, in order to reduce production costs, specific spaces such as internal combustion chambers, restaurants, and first-class compartments were set aside separately.

While many of the filming staff are already busy preparing for the first filming.

When Kyu-ha appeared, everyone greeted him warmly.

All in all, it was a look full of goodwill.

“You have worked hard to come this far. The bishop is over there.”

Just then, a hand tapped Kyuha’s shoulder from behind.

“Nice to meet you! Song. It’s the first time I’ve met and said hello like this. I wanted to see you as soon as possible.”

When Kyu-ha turned his head, a middle-aged man with an impressive figure and wide eyes looked at him with sparkling eyes.

It was Vincent Cassel who played the role of Pernell, who is called the national actor of France.
