Chapter 345 "The State of Etiquette" (Seeking Perfection)

"A person with a big heart should be in a state of combining work and rest, work is done one by one, you see, I can't wait to have 25 hours of continuous work a day, buddy, what special mission do you geniuses have?" Leslie Cheung quipped with a cigarette. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"The heavens will descend on the people. Wang Yao smiled, looked at Leslie Cheung who was swallowing clouds, thought about it, took out a beautiful snuffbox from his pocket and handed it over, "Try this." ”

"What is this?" Leslie Cheung took the handle and played with it.

"Snuff, try. Wang Yao said.

"Snuff?" Leslie Cheung was stunned, "How to play?"

Wang Yao shook his snuffbox, then opened it to the point on his fingernails, and shivered after inhaling hard.

Leslie Cheung was so frightened that his cigarette fell, "Damn, you street boy, how can you play this!"

Wang Yao opened Leslie Cheung's hand that reached out to grab the snuff bottle, "It's not the thing you think, this is the end of the medicine, and you are also a little bit cultured." ”

Leslie Cheung had a cold face.

"You don't believe me?" Wang Yao asked rhetorically.

Leslie Cheung blinked and sat back in his chair, "How do you feel?"

"It's not the same as smoking, it's the same effect. Wang Yao smiled, "Try it." ”

Leslie Cheung stretched out his hand, and Wang Yao gave him a little.

Leslie Cheung put it under his nose and sniffed, glanced at Wang Yao, took a breath, his pupils dilated suddenly, and then began to sneeze wildly.

Wang Yao looked at Leslie Cheung who was leaning forward and turning back, and grinned.

..................

The charm of snuff is indeed incomparable to cigarettes, cigarettes are addictive to nicotine, and snuff is addictive to sneezing....

Anyway, Leslie Cheung fell, and he forced the big stars who were not sober because of a hangover to try it, and finally asked Wang Yao for more than a dozen snuffboxes.

The big stars are very busy with their schedules, after recording, they changed contact information with Wang Yao and left one by one, and Wang Yao's soundtrack recording was only half carried out.

There are a total of seventeen ancient songs, but many fragments were extracted from more than 30 ancient songs as interludes, but fortunately, with Xu Qingmei's assistance, Wang Yao saved a lot of things in the guqin and guzheng.

The last problem is the theme song, although these ancient songs are all good and meaningful, they are not enough for the heavyweight sound effect that Wang Yao imagined, and they cannot represent the kind of Chinese panic culture that Wang Yao hopes to convey.

Although the guqin is good, it is too elegant.

Just when Wang Yao was at a loss, Mr. Big glanced at Wang Yao at the dinner table: "Are you stupid? This kind of question can stump you?"

"Do you have a solution?" Wang Yao cheered up.

"Chimes. Mr. Qigong gave Wang Yao a bowl of mung bean porridge.

Wang Yao's eyes lit up, and he patted his head, "It's really stupid." ”

"Hehehe. Mr. Big sneered, "I said you, your brain is getting worse and worse." ”

Wang Yao smiled dryly: "Aren't I also in a hurry?"

"What's the hurry? Is it useful to be anxious?, and where did you learn this impatience and your former composure?" reprimanded Mr. Big.

Wang Yao shrunk his neck: "Maybe there are too many things?"

"Do you have a lot of things to do with the chairman?" said Mr. Big in a deep voice.

"That's not a good analogy. Mr. Qigong smiled and said, "No matter how many things you have, do you have more things to do with the two of us?"

"Of course not, of course not. Wang Yao said with a smile.

"So, if the two of us are not in a hurry, you have no reason to be in a hurry. Mr. Qigong smiled, "Do you know where to find the chime?"

"I remember that the tomb of Marquis Yi was unearthed, and Tan Dun knocked it when Xiangjiang returned in 97, and I asked him to help me ask. Wang Yao said.

"If you can't borrow it, I'll help you figure it out. Mr. Qigong nodded, "By the way, have you studied the chime?"

"I've seen some ancient genealogy materials, but I haven't touched them, that thing is too rare. Wang Yao said.

"There should be no more than six sets of sound in the whole country. Mr. Qigong thought for a while, "The main thing is that this instrument is too unpopular." ”

"If I could choose an instrument that represents the pinnacle of Chinese music, I think the chimes would be. Mr. Big said, "It's a pity that no one dares to touch this project." After all, it is a hat with a national instrument on his back. ”

Wang Yao blinked, "Really?"

"Got an idea?" said Mr. Big, smiling.

Mr. Qigong glanced at Mr. Big, smiled and shook his head, "Don't make trouble for him." ”

"Good things should be taken out and used, so what's the deal with putting them on display in museums?" Mr. Big chuckled.

"Isn't it a great treasure of the country, if you take it out easily, it will be of high value?" Mr. Qigong smiled.

"It's also interesting to say, since it's for the people, what's wrong with taking out a national treasure, isn't the panda also earning tickets at the zoo? Mr. Big chuckled.

Wang Yao vaguely felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and Mr. Qigong rarely refuted what Mr. Da said.

"As you said, it's a national treasure, and so are giant pandas, but the managers who keep pandas are experts. Mr. Qigong said with a smile.

"Boy, do you hear it, if you are not sure, you will not ask for trouble. Mr. Big smiled at Wang Yao.

"Oh. Wang Yao smiled perfunctorily and finished the mung bean soup in one bite, "I'm going to call." ”

"Mr. should have the bell score of the Qing Palace in his hand, Lafayette seems to like a set of bells left by Qianlong back then. Mr. Qigong asked with a smile after waiting for Wang Yao to leave.

"That's a set of golden bells, the sound is not right, if the chimes of the tomb of Marquis Zeng were dug up in the early years, the stolen national treasures of the Old Summer Palace would have two more things. Mr. Big chuckled.

Mr. Qigong nodded and did not continue the topic.

............

Chimes are special bell-type percussion instruments that only China has in the world, and it is the earliest seven-tone scale in the history of world music, with a complete twelve-tone rhythm, at least 2,400 years ago, more than 1,000 years earlier than the piano, the king of musical instruments.

It is the ancestor of musical instruments in the world.

Moreover, along with the chime culture, it is a dynasty with the highest level of humanistic morality in Chinese civilization, and with the decline of chime culture, it also represents the collapse of etiquette.

Chime culture carries the 'rites' in Chinese civilization and is also a pinnacle in human civilization.

The bell unearthed from the tomb of Marquis Yi of Zeng has 19 buttons, 45 Yonggong and a single big Fu Gong given to Zeng Hou B by King Hui of Chu, a total of 65 bronze bells, and each bell can make two sounds, unearthed after the test of music experts, this set of bronze chimes of 2,400 years ago, has almost complete sound frequency with modern pianos.

It also means that at least 2,400 years ago, the Chinese music rhythm reached the level of modern music rhythm, especially the bronze manufacturing can reach this level, which can be described as a great miracle of humanities and technology.

When he saw this huge set of chimes with his own eyes, Wang Yao was once again shocked by the greatness of the Chinese sages, this set of chimes placed in the museum.

It is in the shape of a right-angled ruler, with a total length of more than 10 meters, 3 layers up and down, and a height of 273 centimeters, supported by 6 bronze samurai with swords and several columns. The whole set of chimes and beams is magnificent and spectacular.

The chimes of different sizes are engraved with the name of each of them, as well as a complete sheet music, which was left by the ancestors 2,400 years ago.

The chimes exude a peaceful majesty.

Tan Dun took off his shoes and bowed to the chime at the door, his expression was pious and solemn, Wang Yao recovered from the shock and bowed to the chime.

"It's sacred. Wang Yao sighed.

"Their voices are more sacred. Tan Dun's face was full of intoxication, "When I knocked on it for the first time, tears couldn't help but gush out, I can't control it, that kind of loss of control, you know?"

"Yes. Wang Yao licked the corners of his mouth, "Is it difficult?"

"It's difficult, I'm afraid I'll accidentally break it. Tan Dun nodded and said.

"Then this time I have experience. Wang Yao said with a smile.

"You still want me to knock this?" Tan Dun was shocked.

"Otherwise, what are we going to do?" Wang Yao was stunned.

"Big brother, this is a national treasure, I was approved to knock it. Tan Dun's eyes turned white, and Wang Yao said, "Let's knock on a replica." ”

"The replica feels almost meaningless. Wang Yao frowned.

"Nonsense, it's good to knock some. Tan Dun said: "These are all national treasures, in case there is a mistake, we will be sinners for the ages." ”

"The timbre of the replica is almost the same?" asked Wang Yao.

"The instruments are basically similar, but they are really different, after all, they are not ancient sounds of more than 2,000 years. Tan Dun said with some regret, "You must know that the sound has a memory, and the sound of traveling through time and space really gives people goosebumps." ”

Wang Yao licked the corners of his mouth, and the more he looked at this set of chimes, the more he liked it, "Are there many people making this thing now?"

"There is only one in the whole country. Tan Dun looked at Wang Yao and asked, "Do you want to have a set." ”

Wang Yao nodded, "When I make money, order a set, how do I look at the chime." ”

"One set is still quite expensive, four million. Tan Dun said, "I'm just too poor, but I can rub it off after you order." ”

"Four million?" Wang Yao raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Yes, this price is not mixed with any water, it is all the cost of work. Tan Dun said.

The meaning and shape of the chimes are very luxurious and graceful, although the production cost is a little expensive, but Wang Yao feels that this national treasure should return to the public's sight.

But the cost of this musical instrument is indeed here, it is made of bronze and several other metals, but it is all a complete set, which cannot be as easy to popularize as other musical instruments, and the common people can't accept it.

But the chime culture really has to be promoted, and this should be the most representative instrument no matter where you look at it.

Tan Dun went to 'communicate' with the chime.

Wang Yao wrote down all the patterns on the chime and asked the system, "Can you scan it?"

"Yes. The system replied "whether to start the scan." ”

"Scan. Wang Yao said that the prestige value is declining rapidly, and a series of data appear in Wang Yao's mind, including the structure of the chime, the most primitive material ratio, and even the production method has begun to be restored.

When the system scans books, it is different from when scanning artifacts, when scanning books, it is to collect knowledge, and scanning artifacts, directly even the composition of the object and the production process will be automatically generated, of course, the reputation value consumption is also considerable.

The entire chime was scanned, and it consumed more than three million reputation points.

The previous production of movies and the restoration of some ancient songs basically consumed the prestige value saved during this time, and the prestige value of more than 400 million seems to be a lot, but it is really a drop in the bucket for Wang Yao's current demand.

Qianling will still be in the middle of nowhere, the second film will be suspended, the restoration of Dunhuang will only be 10% complete, and there will be preparations for the release of comics.

Wang Yao now only hopes that "Zodiac Turn" can really get acquainted with what Harvey said, setting off a huge wave in the West, enough to compete with "Spirited Away", and then he will have a lot more ways to earn prestige.

After worshipping the chimes of the tomb of Marquis Yi with Tan Dun, and when he arrived at the place of the replica, Tan Dun presided over a chime symphony "Symphony 1997, Heaven, Earth and People" when he returned to Xiangjiang, so he is the only musician who may be practical for chimes.

In addition to being musical confidants with Wang Yao, Wang Yao is also his translator, after all, the scriptures of Dunhuang all point to Wang Yao to help him translate, so Wang Yao asked him for help and he agreed without even thinking about it.

Tan Dun is free to use, but other performers still have to spend money to hire them, and it costs money to rent chimes, but when Wang Yao rings the big fu gong with his own hands, although the price is a little expensive, Wang Yao feels that it is really worth it.

The deep voice of the bronze bell echoed and diffused, and the sound of the bell slowly overlapped, finally converging into a slow and magnificent ceremonial music.

Wang Yao's scores are all separated, so each chime player only needs to be responsible for their own area, but no one has much idea of the real effect, because the score is too scattered.

But when the whole piece, which lasted nearly six minutes, everyone came back to their senses in surprise and found that the first joint rehearsal had passed after only a few practices, and everyone was substituted by the song.

Tan Dun was even more in command and sweating profusely.

Wang Yao smirked as he struck the huge hammer.

"Is this song named?" Tan Dun asked.

"I think this song is going to be a hit. Wang Yao smirked, the effect of the chime playing gave him a big surprise.

"Nonsense, why don't I ask your name. Tan Dun smiled.

"It's called 'The State of Etiquette.'" Wang Yao thought about it and said with a smile.

"It's a bit big. Tan Dun smiled: "But I can afford it." ”

Wang Yao nodded, touched the sound hammer in his hand, and his eyes flashed with hope.
