Beijing Hotel.

In one of the rooms, Bernardo Bertolucci asked suspiciously, "Professor Yan, why can't you play music when your ancient emperors ascended the throne?" ”

After listening to Ning Ying's translation, Professor Yan explained: "Miss Ning, the new emperor of the Qing Dynasty usually ascended the throne within half a month after the death of the old emperor, and the musical instruments were not played during the mourning period, and the same was true when the last emperor Puyi ascended the throne. ”

In order to be afraid that Ning Ying would not believe them, Professor Yan also talked a lot about some royal etiquette and rules in the Manchu Dynasty, and also said that the autobiographical book "The First Half of My Life" written by Pu Yi himself, which was mentioned above: Because it was in the "national funeral" period, His Majesty's music was only set and not played.

"Can't you really play music? Professor Yan, you have to take into account that we are shooting a movie, and if there is no accompanying music, the enthronement ceremony will not be solemn enough in terms of visual effects. ”

In the past few days, Ning Ying has communicated with Bertolucci's director team many times, and the Chinese people seem to respect the old emperor for not playing music during the funeral, but in Bertolucci's view, the new emperor's accession to the throne is so grand, how can it be without the support of musical instruments.

"And what do you mean?"

Of course, Professor Yan knew that they were making a movie, but making a movie had to be based on the actual situation, and this was not an apocryphal story.

After the translation, Bertolucci said, "Professor Yan, I want to ask if I can arrange a piece to be played at the enthronement ceremony?" ”

"This ......" Professor Yan hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't know anything about music, if you really want to play music at the enthronement ceremony, it's best to ask someone from this area to arrange the music." However, I personally suggest that if you want to reproduce history completely, it is better not to play music. ”

Bertolucci pondered for a moment and said, "I did see the content of this chapter in Pu's book, since this is the case, then listen to Professor Yan, and the filming of the enthronement ceremony will be recorded in the book." ”

"That's for the best."

Professor Yan is a professor of the Department of History at Tsinghua University, and he is in a rigorous approach to history, so he naturally doesn't want the crew to make too many changes, and it is already the biggest concession to restore the content of the autobiographical book as much as possible, after all, Pu Yi is a very controversial person in China, and the autobiography written by him is inevitably suspected of beautification.

After chatting for a while, and seeing Professor Yan away, Bertolucci turned his head to look at Ning Ying and said, "Ning, did you find the person I asked you to find?" ”

"Not yet, but I've tried my best to find it."

Ning Ying shook her head, she sometimes really wondered what Bertolucci thought, others were thinking about post-production such as soundtrack and dubbing after filming the film, but now that the film has only been filmed a little bit, they are already thinking about this aspect.

"It's better as soon as possible, I have to make sure that the soundtrack is good enough for me," Bertolucci said. ”

"Good director." Ning Ying reluctantly agreed, the director urged so tightly, it seems that the soundtrack has to be hurried a little faster.

September 1.

In the Central Conservatory of Music, at this time, the freshmen have almost arrived, today is the freshman entrance meeting, everyone also got up early, washed up and had breakfast, and went straight to the east auditorium.

Different from other university auditoriums, the auditorium of Yangyin is classical and traditional, with vermilion doors and windows, and a row of yellow glazed tiles on it, which has the charm of ancient architecture.

There are more than 600 seats in the auditorium, and most of them are already densely packed at this time, and this year the central music department has recruited more than 500 new students, of which the number of people in the folk music department is the largest, almost more than 200 people.

Several school leaders took the stage in turn to deliver their entrance speeches, and the freshmen below listened attentively, and no one showed an impatient expression under the inspection of several counselors back and forth.

After about half an hour, under the speech of the principal, the new students were finally announced, and the next step was the activities of each class, and the counselors returned to their classes with their students.

In 86, the class system of central music is similar to that of later generations, in addition to the musical instrument courses that students of various departments major, there are also professional courses such as solo, ensemble, and ensemble, and everyone will also take professional basic courses such as Chinese music history and Western music history together.

Everyone entered the teaching building under the leadership of Wang Chu, or the class in the previous life, everyone entered the classroom in turn, they were all adults, and they also entered the university, and the seats did not need to be assigned by the teacher, some people liked to sit in the front, and some people liked to sit in the back.

After everyone sat down one after another, Wang Nian took the stage and introduced himself again, and then said: "Ladies and gentlemen, today is the first day of admission, I know that some students have come to the school a few days ago and know many students, but we still don't have a basic understanding, so everyone has to go to the stage to introduce themselves." ”

Speaking of this, Wang Chuchu glanced at the many students in the audience and said, "Which classmate Mao Sui recommended himself to introduce himself on stage first?" ”

"Teacher Wang, I'm coming!"

Hearing that someone took the initiative to get up, everyone looked sideways, Li Yange glanced at it, it was Xue Ke!

This kid told everyone in the dormitory last night that he wanted to be the class leader, and asked everyone else to support him.

Guo Yazhi and Fang Yuanchao neither had this mind, so as soon as Xue Ke said it, he immediately expressed his support, Li Yange also didn't care who was the squad leader, and Xue Ke was successful in his previous life, and now there is nothing wrong with letting him be the squad again.

Liu Wen was a little unhappy, he actually wanted to be the class leader, but after Tian Zhennan, who came to the school with him, said that he supported Xue Ke, Liu Wen could only helplessly let go of his ambitions and turned his head to say that he would support Xue Ke.

"Hello students, my name is Xue Ke, nineteen years old this year, from Beijing, I studied erhu, I have been studying in the attached primary school of the central sound since I was a child, and I am familiar with the environment around the central sound, if you don't understand or need help in the future, just come to me."

Xue Ke talked a lot as soon as he came to the stage, and when Mr. Wang had not yet said that he wanted to elect class leaders and other class cadres, his words revealed his ambition to be the class leader all the time.

"Xue Ke is very eloquent."

Wang was in his thirties at the beginning of the year, and he could see Xue Ke's careful thinking at a glance, and he didn't mean to blame, but was very optimistic about him being elected class president, and saw him get off the stage, and looked at everyone with a chuckle: "Okay, Xue Ke has already introduced himself, which other classmate wants to introduce himself next?" ”

"I'm coming!"

"Teacher Wang, I'm coming!"

With Xue Ke, a rising bird, several people stood up at once.

"Hello everyone, my name is Guo Yazhi......"

"My name is Chen Shuya, and I'm from Suzhou ......"

"I'm Fang Yuanchao, I'm 25 years old this year, probably the oldest in the class......"

Soon, as the number of people on the stage increased, Li Yange looked at the few people left around, and didn't want to be the last, so after seeing Fang Yuanchao finish speaking, he immediately got up and walked to the stage, "Hello everyone, my name is Li Yange, from Rongcheng, Sichuan Province." ”

The introduction was short, clear, and unpretentious, and after saying that, he turned around and stepped off the stage.

When the last classmate came to the stage to introduce himself, Wang Nian stood back on the stage and talked about the next half a month of military training.

Unlike later generations, when they participated in military training on university campuses, the freshmen of Peking University at this time had to go to a certain unit in the suburbs of Beijing to receive unified semi-military management.

It is intended to cultivate the all-round development of students' moral, intellectual and physical qualities.

"In the afternoon, everyone pack your luggage, except for clothes and toiletries, all other things are not allowed to carry, if the army finds contraband, not only will it be confiscated, but it will also be reported to the school, which is very unfavorable to your future, you must remember this!"

Wang Chuchu was afraid that the students would bring some messy things, so he repeatedly told him, and then he glanced at Xue Ke, who was sitting in the third row, straightened his mind, and said: "After the military training is over, let's select the cadres in the class, and if you have ideas, you will come to the stage to talk about it!" I'll give you five minutes to prepare. ”

As soon as these words came out, Xue Ke was ready to move, and his meaning was self-evident, and the other students in the class who had this idea were also organizing the language in their minds, thinking about how to recommend themselves to let their classmates choose themselves.

Five minutes passed quickly, and seeing that everyone was almost ready, Wang Chuchu said: "Okay, who will come to power first now?" ”

"Teacher Wang, I'm coming!" It was Xue Ke who was the first to get up.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what I want to run for class president this time is ......"

Perhaps because he had been prepared for a long time, he talked endlessly after he came to the stage.

Because Xue Ke is a local in Beijing, and he has been attending the primary and secondary school affiliated to the central sound since he was a child, his speech is clear and orderly, and many classmates are very optimistic about him.

However, there is only one position as the squad leader, Xue Ke is equivalent, and there are also other people who want to be it, and after a while, three people will come to the stage to run for the position of squad leader.

Fang Yuanchao saw that so many people were going up one after another, he hesitated for a while, patted Li Yange on the shoulder and said, "Lao Li, do you want to be a cadre?" ”

"Me? Forget it. Li Yange actually thought a little, he hadn't been a class cadre in college for four years in his previous life, and it would be a little different to be reborn, but after thinking about it carefully, if he really became a class cadre, I am afraid that he would have to die of busyness in the future.

"I think, it's a pity that I'm not a very expressive person, and I don't talk as well as Shek." Fang Yuanchao sighed as he spoke.

This move made Li Yange roll her eyes uncontrollably, you still don't like to perform? I don't know who brought in the Dragon, Tiger and Leopard Body Art Magazine, which attracted the boys on the entire floor of the dormitory to be Brother Fang's long and short every day, just to take a look and learn about art.

After more than half an hour in a hurry, after all the squad cadres were elected, Xue Ke, like in his previous life, was successfully elected to the position of squad leader, and under the wide glasses, it was difficult to hide his excitement.

Wang re-emerged from the stage at the beginning of the year and said: "I know that everyone is meeting for the first time and is not very familiar with each other, so the election of class cadres adopts a probationary period, which lasts for half a month, which is the time for military training. After the end of the military training, we will give everyone another chance to choose. ”

Ginger is still old and spicy!

As soon as the counselor's words came out, a few people who had just been selected for work and didn't have time to be excited for a moment immediately withered, and even Xue Ke frowned, thinking about how to behave during military training.

Wang had good intentions at the beginning of the year, but Li Yange knew that there was no change in the re-election of class cadres after military training, because most people had a sense of responsibility after being elected as class cadres, and it was not like when he was a university teacher later, when several students intrigued and played palace scheming for a little power.
