Late November.

After more than half a month of hard work, Li Yange finally wrote out all the trilogy of "The Forbidden City", and Director Tang was amazed after reading the score, but also gave him a lot of power, not only to borrow sophomores and juniors to come over to help rehearsal, but also to arrange several teachers from the composition department to help him.

Li Yange looked at his watch, it was already past eleven o'clock, and it was very close to lunchtime, so he said: "Senior sisters and brothers, let's prepare a little, and then we will rehearse the third song of the Forbidden City!" ”

Hearing this, the senior brothers and sisters also quickly sat back in their respective positions, adjusted their instruments, and prepared to rehearse according to Li Yange's command.

"Everyone, prepare."

Li Yange's right hand was raised, and under the attention of everyone, his right arm suddenly fell.

Seeing this, a senior sister standing on the far right immediately dialed the row of bells in front of her, and a smart bell sounded, and the senior brother who was holding the sheng in her hand next to her began to play according to the score.

Chimes, pipa, guzheng, erhu...... With the performance of multiple musical instruments, the beautiful, bleak and euphemistic music seems to let the tide of time roll forward, allowing people to see that special era, the mottled city walls, the collapsed bricks and tiles, and the dilapidated scene of the Forbidden City presented to the world.

The performance continued, and the two teachers of the composition department who were arranged to come over watched Li Yange conduct the orchestra in an orderly manner, and the immature face was in stark contrast to the gradually maturing orchestra, and one of them sighed: "Lao Zhang, you said to you, can you make this kind of music?" ”

"I can't do it, if I can make it, I'll still be here?" Teacher Zhang smiled bitterly and glanced at the young Li Yange, feeling very uncomfortable.

When he was arranged by Director Tang before, he was still very angry, a university teacher actually went to assist a student in composing? But when he arrived here and saw the music score written by Li Yange, Mr. Zhang had to sigh, what is a musical genius.

A freshman, who has never learned how to compose music systematically before, but the tunes he made are amazing!

What is even more commendable is that these three songs have the effect of connecting the previous and the next, from the grandeur of the first song "Memories of the Forbidden City", to the broken mountains and rivers of the second song "The Face of the Forbidden City", and then to the poignant decline of the third song "Tracing the Origin of the Forbidden City".

After closing your eyes and listening to the three songs, it seems that you have experienced an ancient dynasty, from the majestic atmosphere of the founding of the country to the collapse of decay and decline.

Interprets what it means to listen to the sound of love!

At about half past eleven, the rehearsal ended, and the people of the temporary orchestra scattered, walking, and after a while, Li Yange was left alone in the rehearsal room.

Chen Shuya stood at the door, hesitated for a moment, and then stepped forward and said, "Yan Ge." ”

Li Yange looked back and saw that it was her, so she asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Chen Shuya stopped talking, her face turned red, and she spit out words after a while: "Thank you for letting me into the orchestra." ”

"Don't say that, the main thing is that you work hard enough, otherwise I wouldn't have let you in."

Don't look at the members of the orchestra are all students of the school, and they are all approved by Director Tang, but they are all subsidized!

After Ning Ying came to listen to the two major festivals written by Li Yange last time, while being satisfied, he also helped him apply for a batch of funds from the crew.

There is not much money, only two thousand yuan, which is a piece of cake for a crew with an investment of 20 million dollars, but it is a huge amount of money in this era.

Li Yange also did not have the idea of greedy ink, and distributed according to the number of people in the orchestra, which was called "subsidy!" ”

As for the teachers who were invited from outside the school to make bells and chimes, although they were all found by Ning Ying, they could also get a copy when they came to the orchestra.

Originally, Li Yange was looking for rehearsal members, and they all went to the junior brothers and sisters, on the one hand, they had more performance experience than the freshman and sophomore, and secondly, the time was much more generous than the students who were busy graduating from the senior year.

But considering the situation at Chen Shuya's family, Li Yange also specially recruited her in, at first she just wanted to give her a certain benefit and earn some subsidies, but Chen Shuya's efforts during rehearsals made him look up to her.

Chen Shuya heard that Li Yange gave her the stairs, so that she felt that she didn't come in through the back door.

"Okay, let's not talk about that. Let's go, go to the cafeteria to eat. ”

Li Yange waved his hand, and the two walked in the direction of the cafeteria.

…………

Imperial palace.

Today will be the last scene filmed in the Forbidden City, about Pu Yi being kicked out of the palace.

After filming this scene, the crew will travel to other places to shoot the follow-up plot.

"Cards!"

Bertolucci got up and walked to the side of the overwhelmed Zunlong, and said: "Pu Yi has lived in the palace for more than ten years, and has never left the palace for more than ten years, and he is naturally afraid and dazed in the face of the unknown world, but he is still curious about new things and excited to regain his freedom. ”

"I get the director." Zunlong is an excellent actor, and after listening to the director's words, he immediately understood what kind of emotions he should perform.

"Okay, let's rest for a while, and in ten minutes I hope to be able to shoot all at once."

After Bertolucci finished speaking, he turned around and sat down on the edge of his chair, picked up the script that was put aside and looked at it, and he was also sorry to see the deleted large section of the Forbidden City.

According to the script he wrote before, the scene in the Forbidden City can be said to be the most important plot in "The Last Emperor", accounting for almost three-fifths of the plot of the entire movie.

But now Bertolucci has to give up some plots in order to speed up the filming of the Forbidden City.

In addition to budget overruns and joint pressure from the three major film and television companies that invest in films, the main reason is the venue.

Not long ago, when filming a scene in the Taihe Palace, a crew member accidentally lit the blanket spread on the ground, although this blanket is not a cultural relic, it was bought and laid on by the crew, but where is the Taihe Palace?

The blanket was lit here, and if it accidentally caused a fire, it would definitely cause heavy losses to the Forbidden City.

After learning of this situation, the relevant management department immediately sent someone to check, although it was confirmed that the Taihe Hall had not suffered any damage, but with this experience, the relevant departments also ordered Bertolucci to speed up the filming of the plot, and at the same time only gave a week.

So Bertolucci could only reluctantly delete a large number of useless plots about the daily life of the Qing Palace, so as to speed up the filming of the scenes in the Forbidden City, and at the same time he also learned a lesson, and during the filming process, he was strict about anyone smoking, and at the same time sent more people to manage it.

"Ning, how is the crew over there in Yanshan?"

After reading the script, Bertolucci looked at Ning Ying, who was sitting next to him.

"It's almost done, as soon as the filming here is over, I should be able to go there immediately to shoot the puppet Manchurian scene."

"I don't want the same, it has to be seamless."

Bertolucci said with a solemn and sad face: "The investor gave me a final notice, it must be filmed early next year, and the sample film must be sent over for editing, and they hope that it will be released in the middle of next year." ”

"It should be a director in time."

Ning Ying knows how much pressure Bertolucci has, 20 million dollars to shoot an oriental movie, which is rare in world film and television, after all, Westerners are rarely interested in the history of Eastern countries, and this movie has predicted a bleak future with a high probability from the beginning of its birth.

"Don't talk about these annoying things." Bertolucci suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, how is that Lee now?" You told me that he wrote great tunes. ”

Ning Ying thought for a while and said, "I heard him say that he has written three soundtracks, and now he is stepping up rehearsals. ”

"So fast?"

Bertolucci was stunned, David Byrne and Ryuichi Sakamoto haven't written yet.

"Yes, I listened to one of them, it was great, and it felt very good for our movie."

"Since Ning is so optimistic, then after filming the scene in the Forbidden City today, let's go and listen to it together tomorrow."
