Early in the morning, Li Yange washed up in the dormitory and went straight to the school's rehearsal room.

Yesterday afternoon, Ning Ying called and said that the directors and they will all come over today, and whether they can use the soundtrack smoothly depends on whether Li Yange can perform well at that time.

When he arrived at the rehearsal room, Director Tang and the two teachers from the composition department had already arrived.

"Yan Ge, how are you rehearsing? Can it be successful? "Director Tang is even more anxious than Li Yange.

The film of the last emperor is a co-production of China, Britain and Italy, and its attention can be seen from the fact that the crew can enter the Forbidden City for live shooting.

Not to mention promotion in the future, just if he can bring out a freshman like Li Yange, he will be able to arrange and score foreign films, and he will be able to show his talent in school and even among his colleagues.

"Everything is fine in rehearsals, but I don't know if I can get into the director's eyes."

Li Yange said this, but he was full of confidence in his heart.

If it is an ordinary foreign director, Li Yange is still a little up and down, but Bertolucci is different, although he does not speak Chinese and is not a Chinese expert, but his understanding of the history of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China is definitely one of the best among foreigners.

After spending several years studying Pu Yi's autobiographical book and reading a large number of historical documents at that time, Bertolucci is definitely much better than the average college student in terms of understanding the history of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.

I'm afraid Li Yange doesn't know as much as he does.

This also leads to Bertolucci's absolute deep understanding of the "Forbidden City Trilogy", which is very oriental-style music.

Although Director Tang is very optimistic about the three tunes written by Li Yange, it is Bertolucci who is really in charge, and when he sees him say this, he also nods in agreement.

A few people chatted for a while, and soon the members of the orchestra arrived one after another.

With the help of a few teachers, the students sat in batches, each adjusting their instruments.

They already knew yesterday that a big foreign director would come over today to rehearse the results of half a month, and finally it was time to pick, and everyone was very excited and nervous.

"Where's the bell?" Li Yange glanced around, and suddenly found that a musical instrument was missing, frowned and asked, "Didn't you say yesterday that you should bring the big bell over?" Why haven't you moved here yet? ”

"I told them to move in early this morning." When he learned yesterday that Li Yange needed a bronze bell, Director Tang immediately arranged to call the contact person and asked a friend to get an imitation bronze ancient bell from outside.

Just then, there was a commotion outside.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

Everyone looked at the door, good guy, a bronze bell more than two meters high, was forcibly moved in by five or six strong men.

"Everyone be careful, don't hit someone!"

A middle-aged man in his fifties dressed in a tunic instructed the workers to carefully move the bronze bell into the rehearsal room.

"Why is there a bronze bell here?"

"It's not going to be a knock while you're playing, is it?"

"No, there is no need for a bell on the score!"

The members of the orchestra pointed to the bronze bell and talked about it.

The man in the tunic walked up to Director Tang and said, "Old Tang, I got the things for you, don't break them, I have to move them back to the station after I use them!" ”

This bronze bell was prepared by CCTV for the filming of "Journey to the West", in 82 years, it was used twice to shoot a scene of the Tang Emperor, and then the effect was not good, so it was thrown into the warehouse and put on hold for several years.

Director Tang smiled: "Seeing that you are reluctant, I will just use it temporarily." ”

"It's not that I'm reluctant, the main thing is that it's something in the table, and it's hard to explain if it's broken."

Fang Aiguo was very helpless about his friend, and called him temporarily yesterday, saying that he wanted to use the bronze bell that had been dusty for many years in the table, and he ran to the warehouse alone, and it took several hours to find the big bell in a pile of props.

"Don't worry, it won't be broken, I'll pay you back when it's used up today."

"That's good, by the way, why do you want this big bell?"

Fang Aiguo was talking, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a young man walking to the hanging bell, ready to hit the bell with wood, frowned, and scolded: "Hey! That classmate, don't ring the bell! ”

"Don't!"

Director Tang stopped him, "Let him knock." ”

Fang Aiguo was stunned, "What?" Do you want this bell to ring for? ”

"If you don't knock it, is it for decoration?" Director Tang explained: "We need to use the sound of the big bell to rehearse a piece today, and you can listen quietly after a while, and you will definitely not break your bronze bell." ”

"Do you really ring the bronze bell? I see you still have chimes here, what kind of song still uses these ancient instruments? ”

Fang Aiguo became interested, and just then he noticed that there was a chime in the rehearsal room, and at first he thought it was an ornament, but he didn't expect it to be really used for playing.

During this period of China, many TV series, movies, including cartoons, will use chimes, Fang Aiguo has been in CCTV for more than ten years, and naturally he has listened to a lot, but there are only a handful of live performances, and it is the first time he has seen it.

"If you're not in a hurry to leave, you'll hear it later."

As soon as Director Tang finished speaking, Li Yange had already slammed the bronze bell with the wood.

"Boom-"

The heavy sound of the bell echoed in the rehearsal room for a long time.

Many students heard the sound of the bronze bell for the first time, and the sound was like the thunder of the nine heavens, mellow and deep, rich and loud!

Li Yange was very satisfied with the sound of the bronze bell, put down the wood, clapped his palms and said, "Okay, let's prepare, while no one has come, let's hurry up and rehearse the first song "Memories of the Forbidden City" first!" ”

…………

Half an hour later.

Bertolucci, Ning Ying, Zunlong, Chen Chong and others walked into the rehearsal room together.

Looking at the neatly prepared orchestra and various traditional Chinese instruments, Bertolucci nodded silently, and this serious attitude alone is worthy of recognition.

After the group exchanged pleasantries, Bertolucci said, "Li, I think you should be ready." ”

"Of course." Li Yange nodded, pointed to the chairs placed behind her, and said to Ning Ying, "Sister Ning, you take the director and them to the back and sit down." ”

"Yan Ge, you must perform well this time!" After Ning Ying said a word of encouragement, he took the director and the others to the chairs in the row.

In the past half a month, Ning Ying has come to CCTV twice, and the relationship with Li Yange is not bad, so he naturally hopes that the songs he writes can be valued by the director.

All those who should come are here.

Li Yange glanced at the orchestra and saw that most of the people were very nervous, so he also said a few words of relief, "I know everyone is very nervous, but after half a month of rehearsals, today is finally the day of the result, I hope everyone will work hard!" ”

With that, he raised his hand and motioned for everyone to prepare.

Suddenly, the senior sister who used the clock took a deep breath, held a small mallet, and was always ready for Li Yange's order.

"Up!"

As Li Yange got up, the senior sister immediately used a small mallet to gently strike the bell, and when the senior brother saw this, he immediately shook the wind chime.

A beautiful and gentle prelude sounded slowly.

The intro was very long, a total of forty-five seconds, and after the initial nervousness, several senior brothers and sisters quickly entered the state, playing gently as they usually do in rehearsals.

After listening to it for more than ten seconds, Bertolucci silently closed his eyes, and the music was very beautiful, like a gentle breeze, brushing people's cheeks, evoking memories and leading people to think.

This music seems to be able to take him back to the Forbidden City in his dreams, and his mind can't help but sketch the imprint of walking in the Forbidden City in recent months.

Ning Ying, Zunlong, and Chen Chong also listened attentively to the performance of the orchestra, they were not professionals, but when they heard this beautiful and picturesque music, they were fascinated leisurely, and there was an indescribable joy in their hearts.

At this moment, Li Yan's singing momentum changed, and the orchestra's drummer saw it, clenched his hands with wooden sticks, and slammed into the drum surface.

Chimes and chimes rang at this moment.

A classmate standing next to the bronze bell even hugged the wood with all his strength and hit the bronze bell!

"Boom-"

The heavy percussion and the chimes of the bronze bells, like a groundbreaking bang, not only lifted the veil of the piece, but also struck the hearts of Bertolucci and others.

Such as the overwhelming cymbal drum music, the percussion of the thin brass one after another, striking crisply, playing and singing jingle bells, and the long overtones of the bronze bell, forming a magnificent music, resounding throughout the rehearsal room, so that everyone on the scene was shocked!

This magnificent music seems to have taken them into the magnificent glorious era hundreds of years ago, into the countless glazed bricks and tiles, and after decades of painstaking efforts, the more than 9,000 temples finally built - the Forbidden City!

The splendid Taihe Hall stands tall, and the court that treasures countless treasures rotates like a slide one after another from the eyes of everyone, how can it not make people yearn for it.

The soothing and peaceful prelude, the heavily rehearsed percussion, the brilliant bronze bells, every note and every piece of music bring a different kind of senses to everyone.

In the process of listening to this song, everyone showed the leisurely fascination of the magnificent and prosperous era in the song.

Only Bertolucci's brows furrowed when he heard this, his face solemn, and he didn't know what was going on in his heart.
