All-Round Genius Who Eats Talent

027. When are you opening this?

“Is it a different place than back then?”

The place I arrived with Jeongyeon was a recording studio completely different from the place where the confrontation and recording took place.

“That’s literally the main recording studio, and this is my personal recording studio!”

It was definitely a place with a more charming taste than the previous recording studio. Jeongyeon’s personal taste was also included here and there.

“Five. If I had known you would come here, I should have prepared a present for you.”

“You can give it to me next time. I don’t reject it. By the way, is this your first time appearing in variety shows?”

“yes. Most of them only appeared on music shows.”

Song Jae-ik answered while looking around the recording studio. The camera was installed without real blind spots.

“By the way, I was surprised that it was an animation production.”

“It’s a new category on YouTube. ah! If you learn composition today, a new category will be created.”

“Have you ever composed a song before?”

“Well. Did you just read the book and look it up on You Tube? I asked for it as a light taste.”

Jeongyeon shrugged her shoulders at that answer and explained composition in a teacher-like pose.

“If you look at the standard of a drama OST. First of all, you need to know the contents of the drama, right? In this case, it will be the contents of the animation. Are the animations ready?”

“Well. Yes. But since it’s still in the production stage, it will feel like a silent movie.”

“Don’t worry about that part! If pro! You shouldn’t have to worry about that!”

“Uh…but.”

Song Jae-ik looked at the camera and his laptop alternately with a puzzled expression. For the OST, of course, I had to watch the video, but the whole content was different from being on the air.

“Do not worry. I’ll tell you that you can blur it or it’s okay to go out, so that only one part goes out.”

In response, Song Jae-ik laughed and played the animation video being produced on his laptop.

“Be sure to prepare writing utensils. Ideas and feelings are always volatile, so it’s important to take note of how you feel at the time!”

“Yes, Mr. Jeongyeon. The main director is Yeon Jin-woo. I’m in charge of something. The title is a journey to find the way. This here is the script book.”

The video started and Jeongyeon quickly fell in love with the animation on the monitor. The drawing style was not the kind of animation he had seen so far.

If you really want to find a similar feeling.

Yes, it feels like Studio Ghibli animation. I thought it might be more like a fairy tale than an animation.

Jeongyeon immersed herself in the video by mechanically matching the scene with the script until the monitor screen turned black.

“Whoa-”

when an hour and a half had passed. Jeongyeon took a deep breath and asked Song Jae-ik, who looked at him as if he wanted to see her appreciation.

“therefore. When will this be released?”

“Everything is undecided.”

“no. this, yes Although we may not know until the finished animation comes out.”

Jeongyeon had a strong conviction. It was silent, but didn’t it have the same feeling that animation gives it?

Besides, I don’t know what’s going on, but from the middle of the animation, the drawing style got better. Besides, that part felt like a highlight.

It was clear that that part would contain the music that Song Jae-ik said would require composition.

“It’s so much fun. I’m sure if I get people’s attention, I’ll be popular.”

The afterglow didn’t go away easily, but Jeongyeon came to her senses and recalled her original purpose as she glanced at the note written by Song Jae-ik.

“In this case, the original score rather than lyrics would be the most appropriate. Rather, I don’t think a song with lyrics would fit. and. The music will go into that part that can be called a highlight.”

“Also. You seem to think the same as me. Since this is a low-budget production, you have to be selective and focused.”

After all, Jeongyeon was Jeongyeon. That’s because I got my thoughts right.

“But the fortunate part is that Mr. Jaeik knows music. through the piano or guitar. In other words, you can express the inspiration that comes to your head. That’s the most important thing. You can come up with music that is much closer to what you think than saying, “This is how it feels!”

That was right. Maybe it’s because I haven’t come across more instruments and more music yet. If not, I don’t know if it’s because I saw the first thing I want to compose after digesting my composing talent.

In that highlight scene, the piano melody kept playing in my head.

“Then now we have to materialize the song. Through the sounds of various instruments and their combinations. It takes a lot of different experiences.”

Leave Jeongyeon’s words behind. Song Jae-ik sat down in front of the piano as if possessed.

That scene in the highlight was a scene in which the main character who lived without a purpose in life finds a purpose. And even through a point powerful enough to pierce the soul.

It should not simply represent the situation. It was a short moment, but I had to put all the situations of the main character up to now in it.

Did something come to mind?

Just like artistic inspiration. The melody has always been like that. If you make up your mind and try to come up with it, it won’t come to mind, but at some point, the melody that pops into your head out of nowhere is better than any other track on the album.

In that sense, Song Jae-ik’s expression was that of a person with enough inspiration in his head. Aren’t you constantly trying to hold on to the melody that sounds in your head?

The really fortunate part is that the camera is only in this recording studio right now, and all these scenes are being recorded.

It will definitely help you wake up and catch your inspiration.

“ah.”

However, contrary to Jeongyeon’s expectations. It’s not like Song Jae-ik barely holds on to the melody in his head and pulls it out sparsely.

I was literally playing it. Just like the original piano piece.

Song Jae-Ik’s head was as complicated as a tangled thread as he unfolded the inspiration that popped into his mind at the moment on the piano keyboard.

His piano skills reached a certain level, so he was expressing his inspiration through the piano, but that was clearly not ‘satisfying’.

Is it about 80% of the inspiration that popped into your head? Obviously the piano is the bass, but that’s not all.

The gap between inspiration and reality in his head tormented Song Jae-ik.

“Whoa…”

Almost 4 minutes passed like that.

Song Jae-ik exhaled and put his hand down on the keyboard.

“How was it? Were you sorry? It feels like something is missing by 2%. I want to fill in some blanks.”

“······ this.”

“Eh?”

When I turned my head, Jeongyeon was looking at me with burning eyes.

With a completely different look than usual.

“this···. this···. Deceiver!”

For the first time since Jae-Ik and Ahn, Jeong-Yeon suddenly took off.

“I’m sorry. really sorry.”

“Puhahaha. It’s really okay.”

After a long time passed, Jeongyeon couldn’t lift her blushing face and continued to apologize. Of course, Song Jae-ik smiled and said he was fine, but anyway.

“No, is this really your first time composing?”

“sure.”

It didn’t make much sense. What was it like when you first learned how to compose, and over the course of several days and nights, you sparsely typed in chords and added melodies?

If you don’t like it, overturn, overturn, overturn again.

But suddenly, after watching the video, he said that he was playing the piano in just a few minutes.

Were you sorry? What kind of melody is in that person’s head?

But I don’t know if the music isn’t good or if it doesn’t match the picture.

If you think about the overlap between the highlight scene of the animation you just watched and Song Jae-Ik now, you can literally say that they match really well. That puts a smile on your lips.

The envy, jealousy, and envy of my talents were born when I felt that I could follow them to some extent.

But this.

it’s a foul

After that, the composition work went smoothly. Along with Jeongyeon with a slightly dejected expression.

“In the end, you have to memorize the sounds of many instruments and put them at the right time to harmonize them.”

“To put it simply, yes. Yes. Easy. Of course, one instrument can produce a variety of sounds, so listening to that part is the answer, right? For now, let’s put some of the first things we’ve made into the video, shall we?”

“Well. That should be fine.”

The music played at the right timing in the video. The screen that was a bit flat before making music looked so different now.

barely. No, even if it’s just a simple background music.

“It is much better.”

“Yes? That’s the power of music. If used at the right time. But anyway. Jaeik said that this music is incomplete in his opinion, so I need to upgrade it for inspiration and a better direction in my head.”

As if he had caught on to something, Song Jae-ik began to listen carefully to the sounds of the instruments in the computer. I was looking forward to what kind of instrument came to mind.

“But really, is this really your first time composing? Is this your first time doing this?”

“yes. Really. Of course, I talked to Jeongyeon and prepared for it while watching books and You Tube. Until recently, I was a student who was discharged from the military and was about to return to school.”

“If you can compose like this, really… huh? By the way, Mr. Jaeik, how old are you…”

“I’m twenty-five?”

At that, Jeongyeon smiled.

“uh? Come to think of it, we haven’t even talked about our age. I am twenty-six.”

“uh···?”

Jeongyeon’s smile gave me a warm feeling.

Around a week after I started composing with Jeongyeon.

Episode 1 of Star’s Daily Switch with Jeongyeon was aired. that was yesterday

Of course, the internet has turned upside down. In the meantime, people who have been curious about Song Jae-ik’s activities were heating up the fire again for the rice cake that was suddenly released.

“Yeah. A lot of people are curious about our animation too! It’s on the real sword! our animation! Maybe it’s because I didn’t tell you the title, but the most common question is what the animation is about.”

Yeon Jin-woo also burst into laughter as if he agreed with the high-pitched voice that showed Kim Hyun-jin’s mood.

“Rather than that, there is a lot of talk about Jaeik. is not it?”

“Puha! he’s a real liar There are rumors that it is false on the Internet. How can a song come out like that in just a few hours?”

“But we know it’s true.”

“So, it is surprising. Did you see Evie’s dejected expression? It goes around in memes.”

“By the way, did you hear the piano playing? and really I finished it when I was dumbfounded. How can I wait until next week?”

“Of course. you also?”

“I watched it in line with the animation scene.”

“me too.”

When the topic of music came up, the two stopped talking. The first time you talked about composing with the famous singer Evie.

Because we are close, I only thought of asking to write a song or being introduced to a good composer.

“But composing. It’s crazy.”

“right. it’s crazy The music is crazy too.”

“What can I say? Why would Jaeik do that?”

Kim Hyun-jin could not easily answer Yeon Jin-woo’s question. because he didn’t even know what purpose? Or pure favor?

However, considering the conversation with Lee Junsu, it was absolutely not malicious. That much I could be sure of.

Animation production was almost finished. that soon. It means that you have to accept any result, whether it is an entry or a screening.

Will I be able to accept good results?

“and. What should I do to repay Jaeik?”

This was the part that Yeon Jin-woo and Kim Hyun-jin worried about the most.
