The next morning.
Josiah arrived at the entrance of the Falosi Mansion in a carriage. It was rare for Hiri to 'stay in bed' today, so Josiah was alone.
Last night, Josiah wrote a letter to Mrs. Sizer, explaining that he would visit today, so the middle-aged butler had been waiting at the door for a long time.
Josiah followed the middle-aged butler into the Falosi Mansion. From inside the Falosi Mansion came a soothing and passionate song.
The middle-aged butler brought Josiah to the mansion's study again. Mrs. Sizer, who was writing something behind the desk, raised her head.
"You said in the letter that this visit is for the soundtrack of 'This Demon Is Not Too Cold'?"
Mrs. Sizer put down her pen and looked at Josiah … Josiah nodded lightly in response.
"Just like how a stage needs music to embellish, music is also an important part of a movie," said Josiah.
"Colin, bring me the music book."
However, before Josiah could take out the music he wrote last night, Mrs. Sizer asked the middle-aged butler to take out a heavy book from a device that looked like a safe.
The middle-aged butler purposely put on a white glove when he touched the book. His solemn look made it seem like he was holding a magic book that recorded some forbidden magic.
The heavy book was spread open on the table in front of Josiah. It didn't record any magic, but songs written by this world's composers.
"Choose a few that you think are suitable, Mr. Josiah," said Mrs. Sizer.
Although Noland had a modern government that was close to a parliamentary republic, other countries still maintained autocratic or constitutional monarchies.
To put it simply, the aristocratic class still existed, and Falosi was one of them. This also led to most of the songs written by Falosi composers being 'private'. Only with the composer's permission, a certain choir or orchestra was qualified to perform the song in the theater.
If a commoner or a bard dared to play a song written by a famous composer in a public place, he or she might even be imprisoned.
In short, it was the 'copyright' of the songs in this world.
Fortunately, most composers were still very open-minded. For example, the song 'Theron' that was echoing in Falosi was a song that anyone could sing.
No wonder the butler was so solemn when he flipped through the music book. These music books were authentic handwritten works of famous composers. If they were on Earth, they would be no less than a collection of manuscripts written by Beethoven, Bach, Schumann, Schubert, and many other classical music gods.
In a few decades, just a remnant of a chapter could be sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars on the Internet.
Of course, the premise was that the people in this world were as' idle 'as the people on Earth.
"Thank you for your care, Mrs. Sizer, but I've already written the soundtrack for 'This Demon Is Not Too Cold'."
Mrs. Sizer's intention was obvious when she placed the music book in front of Josiah. That was' use any song you like '. This was completely in the category of a domineering female CEO.
However, Josiah still declined Mrs. Sizer's kindness. He wanted to restore 'This Demon Is Not Too Cold' as much as possible, so Josiah had to use the original soundtrack.
"You've already written it?"
Josiah's answer made Mrs. Sizer frown. It was not that Mrs. Sizer looked down on Josiah, but Josiah was too young. Although Josiah was a demon, Josiah's every move did not have the slightest trace of an elder's demeanor.
In Falosi, the real composers were basically old men over 50 years old. Of course, there were some geniuses who could 'grasp the throat of fate', but unfortunately, they were from other countries.
However, art had no boundaries. The music book that Mrs. Sizer showed Josiah recorded the masterpieces of music masters from all over the world … She did not believe that Josiah's work could compare to these masterpieces.
"Yes."
Josiah took out the stack of music he wrote last night and handed it to the middle-aged butler. The middle-aged butler took the music book and handed it to Mrs. Sizer, and Mrs. Sizer flipped through it one by one.
"I think the soundtrack of a movie doesn't need to be excellent. The most important thing is that it's suitable."
If it wasn't for some special circumstances, anyone who went to the cinema to watch a movie wouldn't pay attention to the soundtrack at all. Perhaps after watching a movie, one of the scenes might still be vivid in one's mind, but the background music would have long been forgotten.
The most important thing for the soundtrack of a movie was to set off the atmosphere of the scene itself.
"I can understand your thoughts."
Mrs. Sizer had singlehandedly brought Black Swan to fame. When writing the script, she even hired a professional composer to arrange the music for this scene.
Unfortunately, this time when Mrs. Sizer visited Noland, he did not bring a few well-known composers with him. It would take a few weeks to return to Falosi, so he asked Josiah to choose a few world-famous music as the soundtrack.
She focused her attention on the music book that Josiah gave her. Mrs. Sizer was a person who understood music theory. She looked at the music book and tapped her fingers on the table a few times rhythmically.
The background music written by Josiah was considered average. It was only a little pleasant to listen to, but it did not give Mrs. Sizer a sense of amazement like "This Demon Is Not Too Cold."
However, it was, after all, a soundtrack for a movie. Furthermore, Josiah was so young. If Josiah really wrote an earth-shattering masterpiece, Mrs. Sizer would not be able to accept it.
When it came to the last song, Mrs. Sizer finally had the urge to watch it all. The title of this song was "Shape Of. My. Heart." It was also the only song that she had watched along the way that had lyrics.
"Is this all?"
Mrs. Sizer put down the thick stack of music book in her hands. Overall, other than the ending song that satisfied her, the rest made her a little disappointed. She had seen the masterpieces of many master-level composers in the world. It was difficult for Mrs. Sizer to give a satisfactory evaluation with just these few movie soundtracks.
"Actually, I have one more song, but it's not the soundtrack for" This Demon Is Not Too Cold. "
Josiah took out the "Star Sky" music book. It was just one song. After the middle-aged butler handled the thick stack, he placed it in front of Mrs. Sizer.
A single song? Looking at Josiah's confident expression, Mrs. Sizer picked up the music book with a harsh attitude.
"Name your price, Mr. Josiah."
