My Daughter is a Music Genius

88

Jo Sung-hyun was a little surprised to see Seo Ye-na in the office.

I was going to have a meeting with her in the afternoon, but I didn’t think I’d be here this early.

Seo Ye-na’s schedule must be quite tight.

It seems that there is no schedule these days.

“hello. Seo Ye-na.”

“Yes, hello. Let’s go to the meeting.”

Seo Ye-na seemed to be in a bit of a hurry.

Kyungsoo Woo put the brakes on her.

“Let’s go in and buy a cup of coffee. There is no need to rush.”

It didn’t need to be rushed.

Jo Sung-hyun nodded his head in affirmation.

Of course, you have to hurry.

It didn’t help that the meeting had to be rushed.

Seo Ye-na nodded at Woo Kyung-soo’s words, and in the end, the three of them bought a cup of coffee and headed to the conference room.

The other team members of Singer Team 2 are looking at Jo Sung-hyun and sending strange eyes.

Jo Sung-hyun glanced at them, and when their eyes met, he bowed his head slightly to greet them.

The other party greets him with a bewildered face at his casual appearance.

As soon as you enter the conference room.

Seo Ye-na murmured and placed coffee on the desk and sat cross-legged.

“I’ve listened to all the songs. It wasn’t all that bad.”

“If you could tell me which song is your favourite… .”

“It’s a ‘blue night’.”

Without hesitation, Seo Ye-na spoke out loudly.

Seong-Hyeon Cho nodded his head.

Of the songs that were nominated, it was also the song that Jo Sung-hyun liked the most.

It was immature, but it was a song that clearly expressed emotions.

Jo Seong-hyeon turned his head to look at Team Leader Woo Kyung-soo.

“Are you the manager?”

“Well, I think the ‘Blue Night’ and ‘Hometown’ that Seo Ye-na just talked about is the best.”

The song ‘Hometown’, which team leader Woo Kyung-soo said, was written by an established composer.

A song that stands out for its maturity.

I knew very well how to effectively express emotions, and there was a time when I had a little admiration while listening to the song I wrote.

“I also liked ‘Blue Night’ the most, so almost anything, ‘Blue Night’ is unique.”

Seong-Hyeon Cho said.

‘Blue Night’ was a song written by a new composer, and it had quite a few shortcomings… The advantages were very clear.

That’s why he was able to capture Woo Kyung-soo and Seo Ye-na.

Team leader Woo Kyung-soo, artist Seo Ye-na, and producer Jo Seong-hyeon, although nominally the best.

All three of them chose ‘Blue Night’.

It was almost like the song had been finalized.

Here’s what’s important now.

Then who will touch this song? it was

‘I’m a producer, but I’m really a nominal producer.’

Jo Sung-hyun thought to himself and opened his mouth.

“What should I do? ‘Blue Night’.”

“You said you wanted to contact the composer first. How was it talked about?”

“I contacted all the composers of the candidate songs, and they all got similar replies. The composer of ‘Blue Night’ said he would like to meet Seo Ye-na in person if the song had to be edited.”

“It’s not that difficult. You can do that. Anything else?”

Team leader Woo Kyung-soo looks at Jo Sung-hyun and asks.

Jo Sung-hyun took a sip of the coffee in his hand and dragged the time slightly.

“There was nothing wrong with asking the composers. How much do you know about Seo Ye-na? And what were your thoughts while making the music?”

“Ask for something like that… no, what So.”

Seo Ye-na frowned and waved her hand as she spoke.

She looked at Jo Sung-hyun as if to say something.

Seong-hyeon Jo continued.

“All the other composers only talked about the concept change, but the composer of ‘Blue Night’ was different. That person said that he composed this song with the thought that it would suit Seo Ye-na.”

“Hmm. That composer… I like it.”

A small smile forms on Seo Ye-na’s lips.

Jo Sung-hyun saw it and smiled lightly.

As if asking why she was smiling, Seo Ye-na looked at Jo Sung-hyun.

“The songs don’t perfectly fit with Seo Ye-na as a whole, so I asked about the correction, and I am willing to revise it enough… They said it’s okay to arrange the second half as you like. Instead, as long as it doesn’t hurt the emotional line.”

“Didn’t I say that I was a rookie composer? Were you allowed to make changes as long as it didn’t hurt your emotions?”

Team leader Woo Kyung-soo asks with a puzzled face.

Rookie composers usually try to write songs somehow, because they aren’t the type to put any restrictions on them.

Seong-Hyeon Cho nodded his head.

“Yeah, it seemed like they had a lot of pride in the song. The biggest strength of this song, as I understand it, is the emotional line, so I completely agreed with it… Aren’t you the boss?”

“No, as Seonghyun said, the biggest strength of the song is the emotional line. I was just surprised for a moment. Maybe this time too… .”

Not long ago, ‘Cat Lost Tooth’ hid her identity and went to the point of recording a song on Seo Ye-na’s album as a rookie composer, so she had no choice but to be sensitive.

A slightly different behavior from a typical rookie composer told her, ‘Maybe… ?’ that made me think.

Seong-Hyeon Jo shook his head.

“I don’t think that will be the case this time around.”

The song is too immature for that.

If I had been an established composer, I wouldn’t have written a song like this.

Team leader Woo Kyung-soo thought the same thing, so he nodded and moved on.

Jo Sung-hyun glanced at Seo Ye-na and team leader Woo Kyung-soo in turn.

There was clearly a reason why he wanted Team Manager Woo Kyung-soo to be with him at this meeting.

And I was going to reveal it slowly now.

The song was decided, and the composer was fully explained.

“Now, the question is how to proceed with the song ‘Blue Night’.”

“Yes.”

Jo Sung-hyun answered without hesitation to Woo Kyung-soo’s words.

“… Seong-Hyeon. What do you want to do? this song.”

Kyungsoo Woo asked, gently stroking the coffee cup with his finger.

Jo Sung-hyun was only nominally a producer.

If he’s done this far, in fact, his role is over.

Of course, he must take care of all the problems that occur before recording and releasing a song to some extent.

When the recording starts in earnest, you have to manage Seo Ye-na’s condition as well.

However, the direct influence on the song ends here.

Team leader Woo Kyung-soo, not a nominal producer like Seong-hyeon Jo, but other professional arrangers and engineers, will prepare the album properly.

I will edit and arrange the song in perfect condition.

If it’s original.

However.

Seo Ye-na and Woo Kyung-soo are also feeling something.

Considering only what Jo Seong-hyeon has done so far, maybe he is capable enough to take on the job as a real producer and not as a ‘nominal producer’.

That’s what they were thinking.

And Jo Sung-hyun knew that they were thinking like that.

There aren’t many things that he showed directly, but in his attitude toward music, they must have felt the confidence radiating from him implicitly.

in such situations.

“I want to control myself.”

Cho Sung-hyun threw a bomb.

If a decision is made inside, it cannot be overturned outside.

such a bomb.

Kindergarten that Chae-yoon attends.

It was noisy as always.

Children run and scream, and Sensei Min Eun-jung runs around eagerly to see the children.

chaos itself.

And in the midst of the chaos, there was Mihyun.

The child looked at Chae-yoon, who was sitting in front of the piano with her arms crossed, and gave a strange look.

‘He’s got something strange these days.’

There is definitely something.

There must be something you don’t know.

Mihyun thought.

Last time, I saw Chae-yoon’s father in person.

At that time, I asked all of the things that Chaeyun was proud of, but the answer of the uncle was a little different from what Chaeyun said.

Chae-yoon said that her father was good at piano, violin, cooking and running, but uncle said that he was not good at it.

‘Well, he was a little more handsome than my dad.’

From an objective point of view, it seems that it was not a bad face.

Anyway, from that day on, Chae-yoon changed a little.

He used to play the piano a lot, but he knew how to do it in moderation, but now he doesn’t know how to play the piano.

He was a kid who would get out of the way when other children wanted to play the piano even while playing the piano.

If the other children did not tell them that they wanted to play the piano themselves, Chae-yoon did not move even if the children sneaked up to her and looked at the piano.

‘no. Maybe I just didn’t notice.’

Mi-hyeon narrowed her eyes and looked at Chae-yoon.

Chae-yoon was only concentrating on the piano.

So other children may not even know it.

To test it, Mi-hyeon gently unwrapped her arms and approached the piano.

The piano Chaeyun is playing these days is a song that Mihyun knows well.

A song I often listen to in piano lessons.

Clementi’s Sonatine.

‘I can play that song too. Why is he only hitting that?’

Playing the same song all day, I almost got tired of myself first.

Mi-hyun looked at Chae-yoon with an undesirable gaze, and approached the child right next to her.

Even though she was standing right next to her, Chaeyoon didn’t give her a single glance.

“Cho Chae-yoon.”

“… … .”

Chae-yoon still didn’t respond and concentrated on the piano.

Mihyeon sighed and reached out to the keyboard, kicking her tongue.

follow… different.

The performance that Chaeyoon was playing cuts off in the middle.

The child looked back at Mihyun with her hand still on the keyboard.

Chae-yoon looks at Mi-hyun silently.

The slightly wrinkled forehead showed that Chaeyoon’s mood was not very good.

“… Do not disturb.”

“Oh, look, boy. Do you only play the piano?

“… I know it’s not because I want to play the piano.”

How did know.

Mihyun was momentarily embarrassed, unable to say anything, and turned her head.

Then, she could find Jo Sung-hyun standing beyond the door.

“Cho Chae-yoon, your father is here… .”

At those words, Chae-yoon’s hand, who was continuing to play again, suddenly stopped.

Chae-yoon immediately turned to check Jo Sung-hyun and jumped off the piano chair.

“Dad!”

The child screams and runs away.

Mi-hyeon looked at Chae-yoon with an embarrassed expression.

Contrary to the expression on the face he had just looked back at, he had a wide smile on his face when he ran to his father.

“Look at him. Because she’s a total fox.”

Dad feels like a gentle bear, but Chae-yoon is a fox no matter how you look at it.

Mihyun looked at Chaeyoon and muttered.
