the next morning.
Joshua rode a carriage to the door of Farosi's mansion. Ciri rarely "stayed in bed" today, so Joshua was alone.
Last night, Joshua wrote a letter to Mrs. Caesar explaining that he would come to visit today, so the middle-aged butler had been waiting at the door for a long time.
Joshua followed the middle-aged butler into the Farosi mansion, and a soothing and somewhat passionate singing came from the Farosi mansion.
The middle-aged butler took Qiao Xiu to the study room of the mansion again, and Mrs. Caesar, who was sitting behind the desk and writing something, raised her head.
"You said in your letter that the visit was for the soundtrack of The Devil's Not Too Cold?"
Mrs. Caesar stopped the pen in her hand and looked at Joshua... Joshua nodded lightly as a response.
"Just as a stage play needs music to embellish it, music is an important part of a movie," Joshua said.
"Cron bring the sheet music."
However, before Joshua could take out the sheet music he had written last night, Mrs. Nishizawa asked the middle-aged butler to take out a heavy book from a facility similar to a safe.
The middle-aged butler deliberately put on white gloves when he touched the book, 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 Joshua, and what was recorded in it was not magic, but songs written by composers of this world.
"Choose a few as you see fit, Mr. Joshua," said Mrs. Caesar.
Although the country of Nolan has a modern regime close to a parliamentary republic, other countries still retain regimes similar to absolute monarchies or constitutional monarchies.
To put it simply, the aristocracy still exists, which is the case with Farosi, which also leads to the fact that most of the songs written by Farosi's composers are "personal private", only after the permission of the composer is obtained. , a choir and orchestra are eligible to play the song in theaters.
Commoners and bards could even face jail if they dared to play a song written by a powerful composer in public.
In short, the "copyright" of the world's songs.
Fortunately, most composers are very open-minded, and the song "Serron", which is now echoing in the Farosi Mansion, is a song that anyone can sing.
No wonder the butler was so solemn when he flipped through this collection of scores. These scores were all handwritten by famous composers. If they were placed on earth, they would be no less than Beethoven, Bach, Schumann, and Schubert. ... and so on a bundle of manuscripts written by the great master of classical music.
In the next few decades, just a fragment of a stamp can be sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars on the Internet.
Of course, the premise is that the people of this world are as "idle" as the people on earth.
"Thank you for taking care of Mrs. Caesar, but I've already written the soundtrack for The Devil's Not Too Cold."
The meaning of Mrs. Caesar's placing the sheet music in front of Qiao Xiu is obvious, that is, "all the songs in it, you can use the one you like", which completely belongs to the category of a domineering female president.
But Joshua still declined Mrs. Nishizawa's kindness, and wanted to restore "This Devil Is Not Too Cold" as authentically as possible, and Joshua must use the original version for the soundtrack.
"Have you written it yet?"
Qiao Xiu's answer made Mrs. Caesar frown. It was not that Mrs. Caesar looked down on Qiao Xiu, but that Qiao Xiu was too young. Although Qiao Xiu's race was a devil, he couldn't see Qiao Xiu's every move at all. There is no trace of elder demeanor.
The real master composers in Farosi are basically old men who are over fifty years old. Of course, some geniuses who can "choke the throat of fate" are not excluded, but unfortunately they are from other countries.
But art knows no borders. The music score that Mrs. Caesar showed Joshua recorded the masterpieces of music masters from all over the world... She did not believe that Joshua's works were comparable to these masterpieces.
"Yes."
Qiao Xiu took out a stack of sheet music that he had written last night and gave it to the middle-aged butler. The middle-aged butler took the sheet music and handed it to Mrs. Caesar, who read one by one. stand up.
"I think the soundtrack of a movie doesn't need to be how good the soundtrack itself is, the most important thing is to be appropriate."
Not under some 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 the movie is to bring out the atmosphere of the scene itself.
"I can understand your thoughts."
Mrs. Nishizawa once picked up the Black Swan Troupe. When writing the script, she also asked a special composer to arrange the music for this section.
It's a pity that Mrs. Caesar's visit to Nolan didn't bring a few well-known composers with her, and it would take several weeks to return to Farosi, so Joshua was asked to choose a few songs from world-renowned music. for the soundtrack.
She focused her attention on the sheet music given by Joshua. Mrs. Caesar herself is a person who understands music theory. She watched the sheet music and tapped her fingers rhythmically on the table.
The background music written by Qiao Xiu is quite satisfactory, but it can only be regarded as a little pleasant. It does not give Mrs. Caesar an amazing feeling like "This Devil Is Not Too Cold".
But after all, it was the soundtrack of the movie, and Qiao Xiu was so young, if Qiao Xiu really wrote something amazing, it would be something that Mrs. Caesar could not accept.
When it came to the last song, I finally had the urge to let Mrs. Caesar watch it all. The title of this song was "Shape Of My Heart", and it was the only song she watched all the way with lyrics.
"Is that all there is to it?"
Mrs. Caesar put down the thick stack of sheet music in her hand. Generally speaking, except for the ending song that satisfied 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 "The Devil's Not Too Cold"."
Joshua took out the sheet music of "Star Sky", and placed it in front of Mrs. Nishizawa after passing through the middle-aged butler's hands.
A single song? Seeing Joshua's confident expression, Mrs. Caesar picked up the sheet music with a reproachful attitude, but when the song played in her mind, she vaguely felt her blood start to heat up...
"Make a price, Mr. Joshua."
In the end, Mrs. Caesar took a few minutes to browse and put down the sheet music in her hand. She took a deep breath, soothed her impassioned emotions, and then directly entered the mode of a domineering female president.
