After leaving the post and telecommunications office, Li Yange and the others did not appreciate the style of Beijing much, and when they returned to the school dormitory, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon.

The two of them cleaned the dormitory together, went to the canteen to eat in the evening, and when they came back, they discussed going out together tomorrow.

Li Yange readily agreed, after staying in Beijing for more than ten years, he has run all the attractions that should be visited, but it is still worth revisiting Beijing in 1986.

…………

The next day, it was still dawn.

Li Yange got up early in the morning and called Fang Yuanchao, who was still sleeping, and didn't have time to go to the cafeteria for breakfast, so the two hurried out of the school gate and prepared to visit Tiananmen Square.

"Wait for Yan Ge, I'm still holding the suona!"

"Why are you bringing a suona when you go out to play?"

"Didn't you say you were going to a musical instrument shop? I thought about taking my suona over to repair it, but I accidentally crushed a piece on the way here, and I wanted to do it myself, but I was afraid that it was broken. ”

Fang Yuanchao helplessly raised the box in his hand, he was on the train to Beijing, and he took the suona out to blow to relieve his boredom, who knew that he accidentally crushed a piece.

"......" Li Yange rolled her eyes, suona can be taken out and played with casually?

Baojia Street is only about three kilometers away from Tiananmen Square, and Li Yange and the two jogged for about ten minutes, and soon arrived at Tiananmen Square.

At this time, in front of the Tiananmen Tower, there were a few people around, probably people who came to Beijing for business or tourism, and few people in Beijing came to see the raising of the national flag, because it was at the door of the house, and it was not uncommon to see it every day.

Among the twenty or so people who came to see the national flag raising, there were a few blonde and blue-eyed crooked nuts.

"Hey, and foreigners! Yan Ge, this is the first time I've seen foreigners, you say they are from that country? American? Or is it British? Fang Yuanchao was surprised, except for seeing foreigners in some videotapes or smuggled foreign magazines, it was the first time he had seen a living foreigner.

Li Yange walked closer, listened to the three foreigners chattering in English, and said without thinking: "It should be American." ”

"How do you know it's American?" Fang Yuanchao was a little puzzled when he saw him Wuding, except for the black and non-slippery people in his eyes, foreigners all looked the same.

"You can hear it when you listen to the accent, although they are all in English, but one is American English and the other is British English."

Li Yange had passed level 4 English in his previous life, and although he couldn't understand it if he spoke too fast, the three of them spoke very slowly, and they communicated with the two people next to them who were suspected of being translators, but they could hear a little accent.

Among the three foreigners, one was slightly chubby, brown-haired, and slightly bald, and the man asked suspiciously, "Ning, I'm curious what you brought us here for?" Take a look at the portraits of great men? ”

Ning Ying smiled and said: "Teacher Bertolucci, this is Tiananmen Square, the most sacred place in our country, or it won't be long before a flag-raising ceremony will be held here, marking the arrival of a new day, I want you to see this place, because I think it will be of great help to the next film shooting." ”

"Really? I'm looking forward to it. Bernardo Bertolucci nodded slightly, he knew that if he wanted to make a real Chinese film, he couldn't do it personally, and he had to be born and raised in this land to show it.

"It's coming, it's coming! Is that the flag-raising procession? ”

Fang Yuanchao glanced at the foreigner a few times, and then his eyes were attracted by the three soldiers in military uniforms who were walking not far away.

It's the Tiananmen National Flag Class!

The three of them were all dressed in military uniforms, and the first one held the bright five-star red flag in both hands, striding in front with his head held high, staring at the flagpole surrounded by guardrails without squinting.

Behind him, two soldiers with five or six charges escorted on both sides to ensure that the flag-raising ceremony was not interfered with in any way. This is not like the later generations, where the gun is loaded with at most one bullet.

Now the two flag-guarding soldiers, the five or six charges held in both hands are all loaded with live ammunition, but if anyone dares to obstruct the flag-raising ceremony, they may have to open the safety spurt.

Soon, the three people of the flag-raising team, led by the one, stepped over the guardrail next to him and came to the flagpole, preparing to raise the flag, and the two flag-guarding soldiers next to him stood on both sides, staring at Li Yange and others who were watching the flag-raising ceremony a few meters away in front of them.

The flag-raising time of Tiananmen Square is not fixed, and if you want to know more about it, you can search for it yourself, but today's time is 5.36 minutes.

Seeing that the flag bearer was already installing the red flag, Fang Yuanchao was excited, he had a dream since he was a child, that is, to come to Beijing Tiananmen Square to have a look, and now not only came, but also saw the legendary flag-raising ceremony with his own eyes, how not to make him excited!

Li Yange is a little better, he watched it by himself in his previous life, with his classmates, with his family, and he has watched more than a dozen flag-raising ceremonies. Although he can restrain himself, every time he comes to Tiananmen Square and sees the national flag that is about to be raised, his heart will be faintly touched.

Especially today, when he returned to 1986, with the memories of his previous life, standing in front of the Tiananmen flag again, his heart was full of great pride.

In this world, no one knows better than him how brilliant and brilliant the dream of the future motherland is!

Seeing that the flag bearer was about to raise the national flag, Li Yange looked left and right, and found that there was no band, so he remembered that he had to wait until the 90s to play the national anthem with the band, so he immediately patted Fang Yuanchao's arm and said: "Aiding Korea, can you still use suona?" ”

"It works, it's just a deflated piece." Fang Yuanchao nodded inexplicably.

"Then take it out and play the national anthem."

"Blowing the national anthem?"

Fang Yuanchao was stunned for a moment, and then saw that everyone around him was just silently waiting for the flag to be raised, and he instantly understood what Li Yange meant, and immediately opened the wooden box in his hand and took out a handful of suona.

A few people next to him who came to see the national flag raising were a little strange about Fang Yuan's actions.

What does this person want to do with a suona?

"Up! Salute! ”

The flagbearer looked at the time on his watch, and at the last second, the hands that grabbed the bright red flag slammed off, and the electric flagpole was automatically raised with a gentle breeze.

Fang Yuanchao looked at it and immediately blew the suona.

A well-known March of the Volunteers, which no one in the country could sing, resounded throughout the square.

Although it is a bit weird to play it with suona, which attracts the sideways of pedestrians around and even on the road, under the leadership of Li Yange, everyone spontaneously sang the national anthem; "Arise, you who do not want to be slaves, and build our flesh and blood into our new Great Wall......"

As everyone's singing became louder and louder, many citizens who passed by the square and were about to go to work also stopped their hurried steps, stood on the side of the road, or in the square, and sang along with everyone.

The two flag guards were a little surprised, it was not that no one sang the national anthem when the flag was raised before, but how could there be so many people gathered today?

I couldn't help but look at Fang Yuanchao, who was still holding his head high and playing the march of the Volunteers with a suona.

Is it because of him?

The two didn't think much about it, seeing more and more people stop singing the national anthem, while they remained vigilant, as a member of the Tiananmen flag class, in this case, they also proudly held their heads up to accept the people's review.

Soon, the flag-raising ceremony ended, and the crowd gradually dispersed.

"That instrument is interesting, do you know what it is?" Bernardo Bertolucci pointed to the suona in Fang Yuanchao's hand.

Ning Ying was stunned for a while, and only after a while did he say: "The name of that instrument is suona, and it is our Chinese national musical instrument. ”

Of course, she knew what this instrument was, but it was the first time she heard someone play the national anthem with a suona, and it felt weird and novel.

"National musical instruments? Do you think we can use this instrument in the soundtrack of our films? ”

"This should be okay, I think I have to ask Professor Yan, he has studied the accession of emperors of ancient dynasties."

Ning Ying doesn't know much about the soundtrack, but she knows that Bertolucci's idea is to restore the real history of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, so at the enthronement ceremony of the emperor, which is about to start filming and the most expensive and most personnel in the plot of the movie, it is impossible to use a large number of Western musical instruments, and traditional Chinese musical instruments must be used.

Bernardo Bertolucci looked sideways: "Did John hear that?" Write it down, and we'll ask Professor Yan when the time comes. ”

"Good director." John nodded, took out a notepad and wrote it down.

In order to be able to prepare for this film, Bernardo Bertolucci spent several years studying the autobiography of the last emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Filming was supposed to start in early August, but it took more than half a month to toss for the ceremony of an emperor's enthronement, and if it weren't for the urging of Italian and British investors, Bertolucci had to shoot some other plots in advance, I'm afraid that there is not even a piece of the whole movie until now.
