Coma Patient Was a Music Genius
Episode 014
December 28th.
Today was the day of the special broadcast of
Yoo Hye-seong’s family was waiting, huddled together in front of the TV, eating fruit.
Thanks to the remarks made by pianist Ji Jae-won just before, there were far more viewers waiting than usual.
‘…Wow, sir.’
Bae Hyeon-seo, who had been watching TV and streaming live on her phone at the same time, was surprised to see the number.
It’s no exaggeration to say that the number of viewers was several times higher than usual… .
“Oh, it’s finally starting.”
“I’m looking forward to this, but I’m also secretly nervous… ”
“Let’s take a look at how Yoo Hye-sung receives screen red.”
Just then, the broadcast started.
First, there was a brief interview with Yoo Hye-seong.
The place is….
“Oh, it’s a little embarrassing.”
“I just had the interview here.”
Now, it was the living room where they were sitting.
That’s why it felt new and yet a little strange.
Because a familiar sight is being broadcast on TV.
[hunt.]
When the staff asked which song she would choose, Yoo Hye-seong answered with a smile.
-If it’s hunting, isn’t this song Ji Jae-won got the highest score on? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└You’re trying to be evaluated as the most powerful song. I appreciate your guts.
-Ah, this kid is a hot topic on YouTube.
-Is that him? The one who made pianist Ji Jae-won retire?
└When will it change to retirement again? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└But it doesn’t seem like there’s anything special yet…?
-I saw that smile on YouTube too. She seems to have a really pretty smile.
└But I always feel relaxed in that smile…
└I think it’s something I’m born with
Bae Hyeon-seo laughed.
It’s not like I was born with it.
In his eyes, he was just a cute little brother.
[Hello, nice to meet you.]
The location has been changed into a studio.
Yoo Hye-seong and Ji Jae-won’s first meeting.
As if they were competing to see whose nose was higher, the sides of each other were shown on the screen, and soon Bae Myeong-seon burst into joy.
“That’s right!”
This is because a scene was broadcast in which Yoo Hye-seong repeatedly shouted out ‘Myeong Piano’.
As PD Kim Ki-sik said, the name of the academy was mentioned without any silence.
This time too, it will certainly have considerable ramifications.
Bae Myung-sun had recently felt the thrill of publicity, so the corners of her mouth kept twitching.
As Yoo Hye-seong was forcibly inserting ‘Famous Piano’ into an answer to a completely unrelated question, a subtitle also came to mind.
[Hyesung, a student who is serious about piano.]
[※Myung Piano is an academy run by Hyeseong’s mother.]
Finally, even subtitles!
Thank you, Gishik!
“Wow, if you look closely, this one doesn’t seem normal either.”
Bae Hyun-seo giggled and checked her phone. Fortunately, the live viewers also responded that it was cute that she was doing that for promotion.
-lol
-No, that’s not what I was asking just now, but why is the famous piano popping out? Lol
-Your mother must be happy.
– Judging from the atmosphere, it seems like Ji Jae-won’s interview was a surprise event for the first special?
└Okay
“Yes, it’s not a normal comet. It’s the highest peak.”
“Brother-in-law, you are a real old man.”
The one who supports it is Yoo Bong-jae.
The rich man’s relationship had become even stronger because of the incident that happened on the veranda a while ago.
Thanks to my son, I was able to keep my promise, even if it was late.
“ah.”
Bae Myeong-seon asked as if a thought had suddenly occurred to her.
“Did you keep mentioning it on purpose?”
Yoo Hye-seong had sensitive ears and was also bright.
So, I just subconsciously heard PD Kim Ki-sik say, “I think we should cut that out.”
All I could hear was a disappointed sigh from Bae Myeong-seon.
While I was doing that, a vibration rang out.
It was pianist Ji Jae-won who exchanged numbers at the studio.
While Yoo Hye-seong was smiling and replying, a scene of a board appeared on TV.
A scene where Yoo Hye-seong spins the board.
Appropriate subtitles follow.
[?!]
[Hye, Hyesung…?]
Bae Hyeon-seo observed the real-time reactions.
As expected, the reactions were chaotic.
Countless sentences rising rapidly.
-Look at my fighting spiritㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋf*ck
-Wow, I never imagined you would turn that around.
-Um… Is it because of your desire to broadcast?
-Is that right?
-;
There were also many negative reactions.
No matter how pretty Hyeseong seemed to us, reality was harsh.
There was no way there weren’t negative people.
[Student Hyesung sits on the piano bench indifferently.]
[How good is Yoo Hye-seong’s playing ability!?]
Yoo Hye-seong began adjusting the height of the piano stool.
Then he raises his head and stares blankly at the studio lights.
“Setting the mood.”
“Look at that side profile. It’s art.”
The performance began soon after.
Since they all heard the performance live on site, they couldn’t help but be very surprised.
“……and.”
“Hey… … .”
“It’s so fast that I can see the afterimage of my fingers?”
Isn’t it?
They were surprised again.
Because the broadcast was edited appropriately, it occasionally showed close-ups of fingers.
It was a scene I had not seen from afar.
Bae Hyeon-seo quickly checked the real-time response.
And I was surprised.
It was going up so quickly before, but now it’s as quiet as a mouse.
Are you all so surprised that you can’t chat?
-What is it?
This was the first sentence he saw.
Bae Hyeon-seo burst into laughter.
-You’re really good at it, but just like that?
-I should have given it 8 points…
-Are my ears really weird? Why does this sound better than when pianist Ji Jae-won played it?
-Pianist Ji Jae-won didn’t do that interview for nothing, dammit
-So it was possible to hit like that…
-If he competes in 4 years, he’ll win right away?
└Why 4 years later? Honestly, I feel like I could leave right now.
└Because the Liszt Competition is held every four years.
└ㅇㅎ
And then the next performance followed.
The long-awaited… .
[Suddenly playing the ‘original song’!?]
[※Because Franz Liszt’s pieces are so difficult, revised editions were published over time, and all modern performers play those revised editions.]
[PD Kim Ki-sik laughs in vain…]
Franz Liszt Transcendental Etudes, No. 8.
It was a hunt.
“… … .”
At that moment, Bae Hyeon-seo witnessed a miracle.
Even though so many people are watching in real time.
A miracle where for a moment no one, no one chats.
It was like watching an ice age.
In fact, aren’t the viewers who are watching this performance right now also frozen in place?
And then, silence.
Yoo Hye-seong suddenly stopped playing by sweeping her bangs back during the performance.
The viewers could not stand it anymore and started expressing their own thrills.
-Fuck
-and
-thief
-I just screamed in a loud voice
-I’m crazy, but just
Now all that remained was pianist Ji Jae-won’s board scoring.
Soon, things could only get absurd.
[Hmm, Hyesung’s performance is really great?]
[Brother, I have nothing else to give you besides this score.]
[Pianist Ji Jae-won gives 100 points!!]
“… … ?”
It wasn’t like that originally.
I was there and knew that Ji Jae-won was so shocked that he couldn’t give any points.
In the meantime, it is naturally connected to the latter part through cross-editing.
All four of them burst out laughing at the same time, each with a different laugh.
After assessing the situation, Yoo Bong-jae burst into hearty laughter.
Bae Hyeon-seo laughed heartily, saying, “Look at the manipulation by the broadcasting station guys.”
Bae Myeong-seon shook his head as if he was incredulous.
And Yoo Hye-seong replied to Ji Jae-won’s text message, who had just arrived.
“Well, it’s okay.”
He chuckled.
I actually replied that it was okay.
[Ji Jae-won, “I will give up the title of Korea’s Franz Liszt. Of course, I did not give the title to Hye-seong. I will fight fiercely for that position from now on.”]
[Yoo Hye-seong, “I didn’t even know there was a revised edition.”]
“… … Writer Park.”
PD Seo Kyo-il was looking at articles painted with Yoo Hye-seong.
“The comet just disappeared all of a sudden?”
The prefix ‘dog’ wasn’t added for no reason. It was a fact as it was.
“What should we do then?”
These days, dramas have something called a ‘standard appearance fee contract’.
And Hyeseong, despite his outstanding performance skills, had no choice but to be paid a standard appearance fee.
But there was one variable.
“What can I do? Since it has come to this, I can’t afford to miss it.”
It was awareness.
“Haven’t you seen the reaction? I heard that there are people who are starting to unconditionally watch Hyesung’s performance just to hear him play?”
“… That’s true. It’s definitely beneficial to us, so we shouldn’t be stingy.”
PD Seo Kyo-il suddenly remembered Yoo Hye-seong, whom he met at ‘Sky Dining’.
“Come to think of it, I was already confident back then… ”
Postponing a contract that was supposed to be done tomorrow was a gamble for Yoo Hye-seong as well.
What if you change your mind in the meantime? What will you do then?
“Are you sure I won’t change my mind until the end?”
“Oh, that’s true.”
What PD Seo Kyo-il said was that he was confident that recognition would rise.
I think that’s how writer Park interpreted it.
That was true too.
As a result, this is what happened.
Yoo Hye-sung’s popularity rose dramatically overnight, and as a result, there were changes to the ‘standard appearance fee contract’.
Soon, two knocks rang out.
Author Park Eun-kyung gave a strong look, saying, ‘Catch him no matter what.’
Across from them, Yoo Hye-seong and his manager(?) Bae Hyeon-seo sat side by side.
“There is an amount that I was going to propose at first. It is the amount based on the standard appearance fee contract. It is 500,000 won for a minor role with only one scene.”
PD Seo Kyo-il put a period to it like this.
“However, considering the current situation and the changed popularity of the comet, we will increase it by 10 times.”
That’s what happened.
The casting contract is.
In just a few days, your value has increased tenfold.
[The piano genius who became a hot topic in ‘The Classic’, acting this time? Casting confirmed for star writer Park Eun-kyung’s ‘November Waltz’!]
[Yoo Hye-seong, who has become the center of attention with her piano, will appear as top star Lee In-woo in his younger days in ‘November Waltz’]
-crazy?
-Wow… Is this how it continues from here?
-Why are there so many articles all of a sudden? Is it viral? The agency is working hard, lol
└That’s because the casting news came out while The Classic was being talked about a lot. And it’s not an ordinary work, it’s a work by writer Park Eun-kyung;
-It leads straight to casting.
└Writer Park Eun-kyung is known for being picky about casting, but she really caught on
-Are you just playing? Or are you also acting?
-They said he appears briefly in the flashback scene.
-Looking at his face, he seems like he could play the role of a child Lee In-woo…
-I looked up a video of Hyesung playing the piano and he really plays it well. I hope he acts well too^^
-But what if I play better when I’m young?
└ㅋㅋㅋㅋThis will be fun
“Wow, it’s chaos now. It’s chaos… … .”
There was a piano in front of him.
It seems that he was just practicing hard to fulfill his role as a pianist.
“Oh, that comet?”
Gu Do-seong asked indifferently. He was an active pianist who was in charge of training top star Lee In-woo.
“Yeah, Hyeseong. I saw her on TV too. Her performance was no joke.”
Lee In-woo nodded as if to say, “Isn’t that so?”
However, the city council reacted indifferently.
“…what.”
If I were to make a fuss and say yes here, I would feel like my status and credibility as a teacher would be diminished.
Thanks to this work, I’ve become friends with top stars, and it’s human nature to want to look as good as possible.
“Doesn’t it look different to you, hyung?”
“Well, it was kind of like that.”
“Even pianist Ji Jae-won said he gave up?”
“Hey, you bastard, you said that on air on purpose.”
In order to get closer, I tried to gently push her shoulder while swearing at a very, very low level.
“Huh? Why?”
Lee In-woo showed a smile.
Maybe it was an illusion, but the composition felt like a line had been drawn.
“… … .”
I felt a little embarrassed.
Are we still not close enough?
“Anyway, yeah. If Jaewon had played it properly, what would the picture have been like? Wouldn’t it have looked like he was desperately trying to beat a kid?”
“Oh, I see. So, from the perspective of my brother, who is a pianist, I still have a lot of shortcomings?”
That’s why I ended up having to take a shower.
“Of course. That’s what I’m talking about.”
“oh….”
“If he plays in front of me? From one to ten, … No, let’s not talk. You should know that pros aren’t pros for nothing.”
“Professional pianists are on a whole other level… To be honest, they seemed really good to me.”
Then he looked at Gu Do-seong and said, ‘As expected.’
It was a time when deep pride spread through Gu Do-seong’s heart.
“That went well.”
“?”
“Hyesung said he’d meet me here. It’s a short flashback, but it’s still my childhood, so I thought I’d teach you some acting.”
“… … .”
“Since we’ve met, I think you should teach me how to play.”
