Devil's Music
< 229: her last performance (2) >
The day the PPV sale was going on. No matter what happened outside, there was a lot of practice at the Juliad Opera House. Today alone, Leontin Price, who had already done four rehearsals from start to finish, did not even know that he was sweating on his forehead. Only as the young students who were in her performance got tired one by one, she clapped loudly.
“Here! I'm going to take a break, students! I'll be back in 30 minutes. ”
The students who could not even go to the bathroom at her word left the Ur Opera House in shimmering hues. Like the students, I was sweated and focused on practicing, and I sat on the floor and sighed.
“Phew, you're amazing. It's hard for me, young man. ”
Leontin Price smiles softly and approaches the matter of sitting on the floor.
“Hoho, it's not that hard because I have a short route, Kay has a long route and I have to change clothes often, right? ”
“Phew, I'm glad I didn't dress up as a rehearsal. I'd die to get dressed up and dressed up for the show, really. ”
“Haha, it's not that easy. ”
Leontin Price comes to the front of the stage, sits down on the stage, and then looks back at the case and taps his side seat.
“Come here? ”
It was Leontin Price, who took out the handkerchief and handed it to her as she sat next to her.
“Wipe your sweat. Oh, my God, you must be in a lot of trouble. Why didn't you take it easy? ”
The gun grabs the handkerchief, smiling helplessly, and wipes off the sweat.
“It's my first time at the opera. Plus, I'm still nervous because I'm not used to acting. I get anxious, so I practice. You're a veteran, so you won't have to. You're not afraid of the stage, are you? ”
Leontin Price opened his eyes and said.
“Oh my, are you afraid of the stage? ”
Gun tightly grips her handkerchief and says a few moments.
“Yes, I'm afraid, not yet. ”
“Really? You've been on a world tour, and you've never been on a big stage in Lollapalooza? It wasn't on his stage. ”
“Haha, that's right. I'm not afraid of music, but I'm afraid of this stage. Besides, it's your last stage, so don't screw it up for me. ”
Leontin Price looks at the side of the case and asks.
“I'm scared too, Kay. ”
I opened my eyes as if the gun was surprising and looked at her.
“Does the professor, who has so many opera stages, have the fear of the stage? ”
Leontin Price turns his head to see the empty auditorium.
“I'm always afraid of the stage. The first stage at 18, and even now celebrating retirement. ”
Gun waits for her next words quietly, and she looks at the stage for a long time.
“I was scared, so I practiced more, and I considered the risks, and I practiced the contingencies that would break the risks. Then, I mumbled like a madman until I could not sleep at night and sing with reflection. And when I finally get out of fear, I stand onstage in the rain. Fear means I'm not ready. When you're ready, you feel more excited than fear. ”
You nod as if the gun agrees.
“You're absolutely right. But even if everyone works hard to prepare, they don't all succeed. That's why you get scared. ”
Leontin Price's eyes smile as he draws the crescent.
“It's not that I'm unlucky or incompetent. We failed to prepare. A failure to prepare is a failure to prepare for, Kay. It's the wrong amount of time. Time is the smallest given to us. The preparedness of those who don't value a minute right now is just a preparation for failure. ”
She closes her eyes half silently and thinks as if she felt something in her words.
“Great fortune is short. A man who spends his time without hesitation has yet to discover the value of life. I thought you said everyone didn't succeed. The winner's terms are not innate talent, high intelligence, senses. The winner's terms are attitude, not talent. Attitude is the divider. ”
She breathes for a moment, but she speaks again.
“My acquaintance used to constantly think of success in my head, and I mistook that for a very long time it made me successful, and I realized that not only did I think of myself as a child as a dream, but I felt it with my heart, and I wrote it down and sang it aloud with my hands. Don't waste a day or a minute of your time. Ah! That doesn't mean don't give yourself a break. Break time is very important. But that break has to be an uphill snarl. I'm not taking a break. It's taking a break to fly higher. ”
I opened my eyes and looked at her for a long time because I was deep in thought.
“Thank you, Professor. ”
Leontin Price smiles with his mouth closed.
“Hoho, you're clumsy. As I get older, I feel like the nagging grows in the minds of young people who want to get a little less lost. Thanks for taking the old man's nagging seriously, Kay. ”
The gun straightens its waist and shakes its head.
“No, that was a big help. And I think it's thanks to the scenario of the opera that I've been looking into your life. I was very surprised when I saw the scenario for the first time that you had a really unexpected experience, Professor. ”
The eyes of Leontine Price have changed with a pity. When she saw the empty auditorium again, she said faintly.
“That's how everyone lived then. Not just me. In the 1920s, the Great Depression, when I was 10 years old, World War II started, and I had to be 18 years old. There was a Vietnam War in the end of the twenties. The people who lived there were all going through it and surviving it. ”
Gun grins, holding her crooked hand.
“I don't know if you're upset, but my deceased grandfather was born in the '20s. He was surprised to learn that he was the same age as his grandfather who had lived since the dawn of his day. ”
Leontin Price smiles with a gentle glance.
“I'm still young at heart. I'm sorry my grandfather died, but it's sad compared to me, Hoho. ”
“Haha, no. I just thought you were great. ”
“Hoho, thank you. Isn't that Mr. Handwritten over there? ”
Lean, wearing a black high-west skirt, turns her head toward the entrance at the words of Leontine Price, and wears an aqua blue blouse.
“Director, are you here? ”
Lin smiles at the two Asian employees who were following her.
“As expected, you've been practicing with sweat. I brought you some drinks. Share them. Employees, please take your drinks downstairs and leave. ”
Lin turned to look at the staff leaving the beverage box quickly and picked up the tablet PC that was stuck in her side.
“You two. You're pretending you don't care, but honestly, you're curious. PPV sales. ”
Gun and Leontin Price smiled at each other, and Lynn approached and touched the tablet PC before showing the liquid crystal screen. Inside the screen, there was a straight graph, and a curve appearing to rise at a constant slope was drawn.
“This means that the number of sales is increasing every day. PPV sales are a success. ”
I asked him with a curious look in his eyes.
“Actually, I heard it from Byung-joon this morning, but you said there were 7 million copies out there. ”
Leontin Price screams in horror at the first time he hears this information.
“Yes? 7 million, Director? Is it true?"
As Lin smiles, Leontin Price opens his eyes and looks at the case. A beautiful smile fills her eyes.
“Yes, Professor. I swear, it's your last gig, and I'm glad a lot of people saw it. I'm happy to be able to help a lot of African kids. Haha”
You still open your eyes wide to see if Leontine Price has not regained consciousness.
“Three · · God.. 7 million..”
Rin shakes her head slightly.
“Chief Byeong-jun didn't deliver the right sales. I didn't officially tell him, so he must have crossed over to his closest follower at headquarters and told him. ”
Leontin Price kicks his tongue as if he knew it would happen.
“Tsk, right? It can't be, can it? Hoho”
When he hesitated because he felt sorry for giving him hope that the words he heard were not the right seller, Lin smiled and looked up and down the stage.
“Don't make that face because Kay has nothing to be sorry about. ”
I scratched my cheek as if it were embarrassing, and saw Leontine Price's notice.
“Still, I'm sorry to disappoint you after giving you something unexpected. ”
Leontin Price smirks at the gun's arm.
“Disappointment, hoho. I didn't believe it in the first place. Seven million, ho. Ida, one of the most successful opera performances of my life, has only had over a million people cumulative for three months. Of course, I was complimented for my record. Hoho.”
Lin smiles at each other, alternating between the two who were passing consolation or jokes, looking up at the case and handing over the tablet PC.
“Here's the data. I'll talk to the dean outside for a moment, so you two can check it out. ”
“Oh, thank you, Director. ”
Gun grabs her tablet PC and sits close to her butt to watch it with Leontine Price before looking at the screen.

When Gunn and Leontin Price opened their jaws and saw the door that Lean had left, they could only see the door already open and closed rattling.
He shakes his eyes without connecting his words and mutters in a trembling voice when he sees Leontine Price staring at the liquid crystal screen.
“It will be similar to the number of people in my country · ·”
It was Leontin Price who touched his forehead with a trembling hand.
