The Healing Life of a Music Genius - Chapter 86



Only Noblemtl

86 Just for them

* * *

“uh? “Are you the child actor today?”

“You look handsome!”

“You are so cute! What is your name?”

“Is this your first time filming a commercial? “You work hard from that age.”

Shortly after entering the filming set, I heard these words from the staff. I think it was probably because of the hair style.

Thanks to this, I was busy making excuses that I was not an actor.

Sister Seolha, who actually caused it, just laughed.

“how is it? This is why I debuted in the entertainment industry. I predict that my brother has potential. “It’s the 10 Million Actor Award.”

“I decline.”

“Why! Aren’t the people here just talking empty words? and. “I have a strong feeling right now. Do you know what it is?”

“······ well.”

Sister Seolha sat right next to me and whispered.

“I feel good for no reason when I hear that my younger brother is handsome, right? Is this why people choose managers as a career? Should I change jobs at this point? how is it. My older sister has some connections at a broadcasting station. “I think it would be okay to just be your manager.”

“······.”

“For your information, I just need to buy you food. “I will work without pay.”

“······.”

I couldn’t see Seolha’s expression because she was fully armed, but I thought she might have been full of mischief.

“But what about today’s schedule, sister, and why did you follow me? “Didn’t you say you’re busy these days?”

“Yes?”

“Maybe they canceled everything…”

“Oh, no! “I pulled it forward, pushed it back, and handled it in a planned manner.”

“But your voice is shaking?”

“······ Ugh.”

Sister Seolha turns her head for no reason.

I listened to what my sister and manager who followed behind me said, and they adjusted the schedule because it was a bit unreasonable. I heard you stayed up most of the night yesterday.

“Then what if you get hurt? My sister is a real celebrity. “Why don’t you just take a day off?”

“······.”

But how did these words become a catalyst? “Wow!” Seojin, are you worried about me? Do you suddenly feel strong? Today, I will take care of your PR! A high-pitched voice came back, asking, “Do you trust me?”

My mother, who was watching this, smiled softly.

Seolha and I look like real siblings.

At that sound, Seolha became even more excited.

“Hmm! Well… in fact, it can be seen that it is so. Mom, your eyes are so accurate. “I will take good care of Seojin from now on.”

“It’s really reassuring.”

“Of course it’s what my sister should do.”

“······.”

Soon after, I was led by Seolhwa’s hand and went around to say hello. Before I even met the staff, they told me their affiliations, and many of them really knew me.

Of course, unexpected situations occasionally occurred.

“uh? But the voice…isn’t it the singer Kwon Seol-ha? You filmed a commercial with us last time. “At the tvM studio.”

“Oh, isn’t it? The filming location is amazing. Ahahaha. “It’s my first time coming to a place like this.”

“······?”

“Ah, is that a camera?”

At times like that, Sister Seolha quickly left the place.

Still, Seolha faithfully fulfilled her role as manager.

They provide water, handkerchiefs, and chocolate.

As filming time approached, members of the Public Service Advertising Association arrived at the filming site.

Among them, the deputy manager whom I saw last time welcomed me very much.

“Just relax and think of yourself as playing the piano as usual. Even if you make a mistake, it can be covered by editing. “There’s nothing to be nervous about.”

“I’m not nervous because there’s someone following me today.”

“Then that’s a relief.”

Seolha, who had been overhearing me from afar, nodded, posing with her arms crossed.

‘······ You like it.’

Sister Seolha, she was a very easy person to understand.

Of course, the main role at today’s filming site was the actor.

The main character is a male child actor who turned 12 this year.

The advertising story was also very simple.

The child lost his way after falling on the mountain and ends up wandering in the fog.

The child, trembling with fear, spends a long night alone, when a rescue team comes and saves the child.

Mountain rescue teams, firefighters, helicopter pilots, doctors and nurses at a major trauma center.

The story of how they join forces to save a life.

It was a really simple storyboard about supporting them on a daily basis.

“Public service announcements don’t have to be complicated. Simple and clear. This is the best. “The music came out well there, so there’s no need to say anything.”

After finishing the explanation, the deputy director introduced me again to the cinematographer and music director, and then went off somewhere, telling me to take a rest.

and.

“uh! Singer Kwon Seol-ha? See you all here!”

“Ugh…”

“What’s going on? “Did you have work nearby?”

“that is······.”

Sister Seolha’s identity was eventually revealed to several people. Perhaps because there are many people involved in broadcasting, he seems to have some degree of clairvoyance(?) ability.

“Seojin! I’ll come and see them for a moment. “If anything happens, call me right away!”

Thanks to that, Seolha went somewhere with the manager.

The filming site was hectic.

Because filming had to be completed in one day, quite a lot of people gathered.

Because the roles were diverse, there were many actors.

One of them suddenly looks at me intently. Then he walks straight towards me.

The child first introduced himself in front of me.

“My name is Kim Eun-soo, who plays the lead role in today’s filming. I am 12 years old this year. I have 3 years of experience as an actor. Please take care of me!”

A child who seems quite friendly.

I also briefly introduced myself.

“also! I thought it was my brother. “I heard that my middle schooler brother made this music.”

“You got it right.”

“But how on earth did you make music like that? “He was so surprised when he first heard the music.”

“To be exact, I made it together with my friends.”

“Still, I think it’s great!”

Eunsu told me various stories in front of me. His dream is to become a famous actor. He later said that he would like to come in among the folk tales.

“oh. Then, when I enter the story later, you will become my senior? Senior Seojin!”

“I don’t think there’s anything to call me that?”

“No. Seniors. Then it shouldn’t be like this…”

Eunsu took me somewhere. Then he makes me sit in a chair that says ‘Actor’ on it.

I guess they treated me in their own way.

“you?”

“I feel more comfortable standing. “It’s stuffy when I sit down.”

Then he asks me for advice on what to do to enter the folktale.

I didn’t know much about acting, but I answered as best I could from what I knew.

Now that I think about it, Eunsu is the lead role, so I may have been the ‘hand model’. If you use an adult pianist as a hand model, it will look too adult.

Eunsu asked me what kind of feeling I had when making this music. I said I was curious. And I think it will help with my acting today.

“Wouldn’t it be okay to just follow the storyboard?”

“Still. If you look at senior actors, they act while calculating all the factors. “I want to do that too.”

“okay?”

“yes.”

‘Actor Jeong Hyun-woo also said that last time.’

I thought for a moment as I watched Eunsu waiting for my answer.

And then he opened his mouth lightly.

“Suppose there is a virtual island in this world.”

“A virtual island?”

“huh. “A virtual island where no one lives.”

There I suddenly woke up.

My whole body felt like it was going to break, and there was no one around.

Even what I had wasn’t much.

Only fear came over me.

The fear at that time… was indescribable.

Because I was very young and weak.

But I had to know where it was.

So I walked down the street.

First, I thought I should go to a high place.

That high mountain could only be climbed by passing through a dark forest even during the day…

“That’s the beginning of this song.”

“Wow… It feels like an old story.”

The story I told Eunsu was very limited.

‘Because I can’t tell you everything.’

“I think I can do well! “I’ll try my best!”

“okay.”

Fortunately, Eunsu seemed to have gotten some tips from me.

Filming has begun.

The actors are busy.

The director’s shouts and the staff’s movements became busier.

Sister Seolha is back. I heard that one staff member had a lot of trouble with my business.

“Seojin! “Would you like to come over here?”

At that time, the director came looking for me.

The piano was already set up.

Upright piano.

I tried it lightly and it was well tuned.

There were mostly green cloths scattered around the piano. It’s chroma key. I heard that the background is going to be composited.

You can see fake rocks and fake trees.

The actors seemed amazing as they easily immersed themselves in a place like this.

As I sat down on the piano chair, the director gave me an autograph.

You can start whenever you want to start.

Considering that it was my first time filming, I understand that you set aside plenty of time to film.

I gave up trying to read the sheet music on the music stand. It was because I was concerned about the green cloth over there.

I just closed my eyes.

As time passed, I pressed the piano keys, barely able to revive the harsh memories that were fading away.

Intensely.

I remember the feeling of visiting the rocky mountain in the forest there.

So that I don’t forget that time,

Today, I played the past.

.

.

.

A powerful introduction that makes you feel like you can’t come to your senses.

It was surprising when I heard the sound recorded in the school’s recording studio, but hearing the child’s performance right now was like thunder.

There.

‘Did you close your eyes?’

He continues playing smoothly as if there is no need to look at the score.

The rising melody falls sharply.

I was only planning to film the hands in sync with the sound source.

Somehow, I fell in love with my child’s performance.

The staff members who were busy moving around on set also stopped walking one by one.

Take a moment to watch your child play.

But that kid.

Even in this crowded place, he was performing his own performance.

Without anyone caring.

* * *

The forest was deep.

I couldn’t tell the direction.

I turned around and looked at the path I had taken.

Since there was nothing to leave a mark like we saw in the movie, it was impossible to determine the location of this place.

I fell while walking down the street.

Still, it happened.

I felt like crying, but I didn’t cry.

Because I wasn’t the type of person to give up in a place like this.

The concept of time began to fade away.

The forest was like a maze.

I couldn’t even tell time.

I was completely out of breath, so I leaned against a tree for a moment to rest.

but.

No matter how many times I fell asleep and woke up, reality did not change.

Fortunately, I found a way up the rocky mountain.

Climbing to the top was also a penance.

No one helped me.

I was alone here.

Even though my arms were scratched and my knees were sore, I climbed the mountain.

And at the top.

I found hope.

I wasn’t alone on this island.

In the distance, I could clearly see something shiny and it was moving a little.

Even when I felt like I was going to pass out because I couldn’t drink water, I saw the light and moved.

I fixed my head in that direction and moved forward.

I was in a daze.

It felt like there was an invisible fog blocking my path.

Even though we had clearly left the forest, the surroundings were dark.

like that······.

When I tried to let go of what I didn’t know.

“Hi. How are you feeling?”

Someone woke me up.

Light came to me.

It was the same when I escaped the island in a wooden boat after spending a long time on the island with my uncle.

At a time when water and food were running low and I was slowly becoming exhausted.

As I took turns playing the guitar with my uncle… I instinctively felt that it was the last moment.

“Goodbye. Seojin.”

Light came to me.

Tough world.

If you need company.

I won’t look for anyone, but I will think of you first.

The last time I sang it to you, when the lyrics were just lingering in my mouth.

I received help from many people.

I heard that someone on the container ship found me,

I heard that the rescue helicopter came straight to the container ship,

I received help from numerous medical staff at the hospital.

Hundreds of rescuers wandered the vast ocean day and night to save one child.

I was in a fog.

But the light came to me.

mister.

And my grateful heart toward them still remained here.

It will be forever.

I hope that it lasts forever.

I stopped playing.

I slowly opened my eyes.

I, who was playing the past, returned to today.

There were a lot of people watching me on set.

I see a happy face.

Sister Seolha.

What made me so sad, I took off my sunglasses and wiped away my tears.

mother.

Give me a round of applause.

The quiet filming location quickly became noisy.

“and···. “What are you playing now?”

“I got goosebumps.”

“Amazing, Great. Didn’t you just say it was a hand model? “You look like a pianist.”

“I heard he composed the music. “I heard you graduated from Seolhwa Ye Middle School, but it seems like something is different.”

“Is that what middle school is like these days?”

“And what is his name?”

“Oh, what was it?”

“Han Seo-jin. “Maybe so.”

Fortunately, the filming was completed in one go.

However, I heard from the director that they wanted to use this sound that was recorded while filming today, rather than the original recording.

“Today’s music seemed more realistic. Did you say Han Seo-jin? I’m looking forward to it. “See you often in the future.”

The director tapped my shoulder.

Then, Sister Seolha slowly approached me. Then he hugs me tightly.

Sister Seolha whispered to me so quietly that no one around her could hear.

“······ Welcome back. “That’s it.”

Other than that he said nothing.

I think Seolha is the one person here who can understand me. Did he really understand that I had been missing for 15 days? I’m not sure about that.

but.

I also didn’t say anything to my sister.

“My sister came back safely too.”

“okay.”

That was all.

Filming is all over.

A few days later, I took some time to go to Seolha’s sister’s practice room.

Since I was stopping by Hongdae for a while, I brought a guitar with me, and Seolha looked at my acoustic guitar and said this.

“Do you know that your guitar is the same model as the guitar I lost in the AC2505 accident?”

“······ yes?”

“It was a guitar I received as a gift some time ago. “Just looking at this model reminds me of the old days.”

“······.”

I was so surprised that I asked if there was a hand mirror in the guitar case.

“uh? that’s right. Light blue hand mirror. “How did you know that?”

“······.”

After being confused for a while, I pointed to my sister’s hand mirror on the desk. It just seemed like it would be there. She said that because she was a celebrity, she seemed to look in the mirror a lot.

“tooth. “It’s bland.”

But my impressions were not dull.

okay.

I see.

That’s how it happened.

Sister Seolha is grateful that she received great help from me, but in reality, I received great help from Sister Seolha.

“uh? By the way, Seojin, where does it hurt? “Why are you looking like that?”

Sister Seolha placed her hand on my forehead.

I told him it was okay.

And I spent time with my sister, chatting as usual.

As the Deputy Director of the Public Service Advertising Association said, the advertisement was created quickly.

Filming was completed in one day, editing was completed in a week, and it immediately began airing on various media outlets.

Since it was not an advertisement that required a lot of capital, it was a quick decision.

I wrote an email just as the ad was running.

A little carefully.

By taking enough time.

* * *

A rescue center in Myanmar.

A bright voice burst out from there.

“Did you see the email just now? That kid! “I’m doing well!”

“That kid? who?”

“Child of Hope!”

People flocking together.

They smiled as they looked at the contents of the email.

“I’m glad. “I was wondering how she was doing.”

“therefore. “I also sent a video there.”

“video?”

A similar thing happened in Malaysia.

One of the rescue workers plays the video.

Video with Malay subtitles.

The rescue worker who was watching the video looked at the sky for no reason.

“okay. “This is what we work for.”

“They said he also created the music for this advertisement.”

“I heard you won an award at a Korean contest?”

“That’s great. “It’s a disability.”

Meanwhile, Singapore’s national hospital.

Even though it was a little late in the evening, the nurses were gathered together and talking.

Among them, Lin, a nurse in one ward, walked quickly.

With a faint smile on his face, holding a smartphone in one hand.

I knocked in front of an office and waited for a while.

And go inside it.

“Teacher Rong! “Did you see that email?”

Doctor Rong, who had previously taken care of a child, nodded.

“I was already watching. “There was an uproar on the hospital messenger, so there was no way I wouldn’t know.”

Rong slowly turned the monitor he was looking at and showed it to Lin.

Long email.

There was a photo at the beginning.

“I guess they are Seojin’s friends. “She seems to be doing well.”

“Six people. “I even managed to take a selfie.”

“Tsk tsk. So. Looking at the picture, it looks a lot bigger, right?”

“Children grow up quickly.”

They also checked the video attached to the email. Fortunately, there were English subtitles so it was easy to watch.

“They said that kid created the music for this commercial.”

Rong nodded.

“It’s amazing. It feels like the Troimerai that that kid played is ringing in my ears again. “It was impressive.”

“But I think it’s even more amazing now.”

A child attending an arts middle school in Korea.

When Lin read that she had entered school at the top of her class, she cheered without realizing it.

“It’s so pretty I’m dying!”

Rong smiled at Lin.

“Maybe this child will come to Singapore again someday.”

“As a performer?”

“Sure. “I’m looking forward to that day.”

At the end of the email, there was also an image of an English letter handwritten by the child.

Rin slowly read the last sentence of the letter.

“I dedicate this song to all the heroes who worked hard to save me from the magical fog…”

A song for heroes going through difficult daily lives.

This song was a tribute song just for them.
