129 Chapter 129 - Musical Scores

Early next morning.

Joshua arrived outside Madam Schroder’s mansion in a horse carriage. A rare occasion, Ciri had ‘slept in’ today. Because of that, Joshua was alone.

Last night, Joshua wrote a letter to Madam Schroder informing her that he will pay her a visit today. Because of that, the middle-aged butler was already waiting for Joshua’s arrival.

Joshua followed the middle-aged butler into Madam Schroder’s mansion. A relaxing yet passionate singing voice sounded from within the mansion.

The middle-aged butler brought Joshua back to the study. Madam Schroder was sitting on her desk writing something. When Joshua walked in, she raised her head.

“You mentioned in the letter that your visitation today is for the sake of ‘Léon: The Demon’s’ music accompaniment?”

Madam Schroder stopped writing and looked at Joshua. Joshua nodded his head in response.

“Like how stage plays needed to be adorned with music, music is also extremely important for movies,” said Joshua.

In a nutshell, that was the music ‘copyright’ of this world.

Fortunately, the majority of the composers were very open-minded. Take ‘Seron’s Song’ that was being performed in Madam Schroder’s mansion for example, it was a song that could be sung by anyone.

It was no wonder the butler was so stern when he was flipping through the pages of this book of musical scores. Those musical scores were all the works hand written by famous composers. If this was earth, it would be akin to a collection of musical drafts from Ludwig van Beethoven, Johann Sebastian Bach, Robert Schumann, Franz Schubert and other renowned classical music composers.

In several tens of years, merely an incomplete piece of paper from the many pages of compositions in that book would be able to sell for hundreds of thousands on the internet.

Of course, that was considering that the people of this world were ‘idle’ with ‘nothing to do’ like the people on earth.

“Madam Schroder, I thank you for your consideration. But, I’ve already written the musical accompaniments for ‘Léon: The Demon.’”

By showing Joshua the book of musical scores, Madam Schroder’s intention was extremely clear. She was basically telling him that he can use any of the scores in that book. Her behavior was simply that of a tyrannic female CEO.

However, Joshua tactfully declined Madam Schroder’s kind intentions. If he wanted to remake ‘Léon: The Demon’ as faithful to the original as possible, he must use the original scores for the movie.

“You’ve already written the musical accompaniments?”

Joshua took out the musical scores for ‘Star Sky.’ Even though it was a single song, it took up a pile of papers. The middle-aged butler passed along that pile of papers to Madam Schroder.

A single song? Seeing the confident look on Joshua’s face, Madam Schroder picked up the score expecting to have the thought of criticizing him afterwards. But, once the instruments for the song began playing in her mind, she started feeling her blood burning hot…

“Mister Joshua, speak your price.”

After taking several minutes to skim through the song, Madam Schroder placed down the pile of papers and took a deep breath. After calming down her emotions, she entered the state of a tyrannic female CEO again.
