Chapter 129 Music Score
next morning.
Joshua arrived at the gate of the Faluosi mansion in a carriage. Xili was rarely "staying in bed" today, so only Joshua was alone.
Last night, Joshua wrote a letter to Mrs. Caesar explaining that he would come to visit today, so the middle-aged housekeeper had been waiting at the door for a long time.
Joshua followed the middle-aged housekeeper into the Faluoxi mansion, and from the Faluoxi mansion came a soothing but somewhat passionate singing voice.
The middle-aged housekeeper took Qiao Xiu to the study room of the mansion again, and Mrs. Caesar, who was sitting behind the desk writing something, raised her head.
"You said in your letter that this visit was for this devil's not-so-cool soundtrack?"
Mrs. Caesar stopped the pen in her hand and looked at Joshua. Joshua nodded lightly as a response.
"Just like stage plays need music to embellish, music is also a very important part of movies." Qiao Xiu said.
"Collen brings the sheet music."
However, before Joshua could take out the score he had written last night, Mrs. Caesar asked the middle-aged housekeeper to take out a heavy book from a safe-like facility.
The middle-aged butler specially put on white gloves when touching the book, with a solemn look as if he was holding a magic book that recorded some forbidden magic.
The heavy book was spread out on the table in front of Qiao Xiu. What was recorded in it was not magic, but songs written by composers in this world one after another.
"Choose a few songs that you think are suitable, Mr. Joshua." Mrs. Caesar said.
Although Nolan has already seen a modern regime close to a parliamentary republic, other countries still retain a regime similar to a monarchy or a constitutional monarchy.
Simply put, the aristocratic class still exists, as is the case with the Faroshi, and this also leads to the songs created by the composers of the Farosi, most of which are 'personal private', only after the permission of the composer. , a choir and orchestra are eligible to perform the song in the theater.
Commoners and bards could even face prison if they dared to play a song written by a prominent composer in public.
In short, it is the 'copyright' of songs in this world.
Fortunately, most composers are still very open-minded. For example, the song Seron, which is reverberating in Faluoxi now, belongs to the songs that anyone can sing.
No wonder the butler was so solemn when flipping through this collection of scores. These scores are all handwritten by famous composers. If they were placed on the earth, they would be no less than Beethoven, Bach, Schumann, Schubert, etc. Waiting for a bunch of bundled collections of manuscripts written by the great gods of classical music.
In a few decades, just a fragment of chapter can be sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars on the Internet.
Of course, the premise is that the people in this world are as 'idle' as the people on Earth.
"Thank you for your attention, Mrs. Caesar, but I have already written the soundtrack for this demon that is not too cold."
The meaning of Mrs. Caesar's putting the music score in front of Joshua is already obvious, that is, "all the songs in it, you can use the one you like." This completely belongs to the category of domineering female presidents.
But Qiao Xiu still declined Mrs. Caesar's kindness. He wanted to restore the devil as authentically as possible, so Qiao Xiu must use the original version for the soundtrack.
"Have you finished writing?"
Qiao Xiu's answer made Mrs. Caesar frowned. It was not that Mrs. Caesar underestimated Qiao Xiu, but that Qiao Xiu was too young. Although Qiao Xiu's race was a demon, he couldn't see what Qiao Xiu did. There is not a shred of elder demeanor.
The real master composers in Faluoxi are basically old men over half a century old. Of course, some geniuses who can "chop fate's throat" are not ruled out, but unfortunately they are from other countries.
But art knows no borders. The sheet music that Mrs. Caesar showed to Qiao Xiu recorded the masterpieces of music masters from all over the world. She didn't believe that Qiao Xiu's works could match these masterpieces.
"Yes."
Joshua took out a stack of music scores that he had written last night and handed them to the middle-aged butler. The middle-aged butler took the scores and handed them to Mrs. Caesar, and Mrs. Caesar read them one by one. stand up.
"I think the soundtrack of a movie doesn't need the soundtrack itself to be excellent, the most important thing is to be suitable."
Not under certain special circumstances, anyone who goes to the cinema to watch a movie will not pay attention to the soundtrack at all. Maybe after watching a movie, maybe a certain plot in it is still vivid, but the background music has long been forgotten.
The most important thing about the soundtrack of a movie is to bring out the atmosphere of the scene itself.
"I can understand your thoughts."
Mrs. Nishizawa once single-handedly supported the Black Swan Troupe. When writing the script, she also invited a special composer to arrange the music for this bridge.
It's a pity that Mrs. Caesar didn't bring a few well-known composers with her when she visited Nolan this time, and it would take several weeks to return to Farosi, so she asked Qiao Xiu to choose a few pieces of world-renowned music directly. Come for the soundtrack.
She focused on the score given by Joshua. Mrs. Caesar herself is a person who understands music theory. She looked at the score and tapped her fingers rhythmically on the table a few times.
The few background music written by Joshua are quite satisfactory, they can only be regarded as a bit pleasant, and they don't give Mrs. Caesar a feeling of surprise like this demon is not too cold.
But after all, it is the soundtrack of a movie, and Qiao Xiu is so young, if Qiao Xiu really writes some amazing masterpieces, it will be something that Mrs. Caesar cannot accept.
When it came to the last song, I finally had the urge to let Mrs. Caesar read the whole thing. The title of this song was called shape of my heart, and it was the only song with lyrics she read along the way.
"Is that all there is?"
Mrs. Caesar put down the thick stack of music scores in her hand. Generally speaking, except for the ending song that satisfies her, the rest made her a little disappointed. She has seen many master composers in the world. A masterpiece, it is difficult for Mrs. Caesar to give a satisfactory evaluation just by relying on these few soundtracks.
"Actually, I have another one, but it's not the soundtrack of this demon who is not too cold."
Joshua took out Starsky's sheet music, and just a small stack of one song was put in front of Mrs. Caesar after being handed by the middle-aged housekeeper.
Solo song? Seeing Qiao Xiu's confident expression, Mrs. Caesar picked up the music book with a harsh attitude.
"Make a price, Mr. Qiao Xiu."
Mrs. Nishizawa put down the music score in her hand after spending a few minutes browsing, and then directly entered the mode of a domineering female president.
