A few days have passed in the blink of an eye.

On the day of the graduation ceremony, the school was full of lights, and the farewell couplets were hung everywhere, and the senior students who were about to leave the school walked in all corners of the campus in twos and threes, with a touch of reminiscence on their faces, as if they recalled the bits and pieces of the four years of the university, and firmly remembered the place where they had lived for several years.

"Minister Li, welcome, welcome!"

At the gate of the school, Dean Wu and several department directors greeted him very warmly after seeing the arrival of Vice Minister Li of the Ministry of Culture: "Minister Li has not seen you for a long time, and you are welcome to come to Yangyin for inspection." ”

Vice Minister Li shook hands with the dean, and said with a smile on his face: "Dean Wu said that he laughed, the inspection can't be talked about, today is the graduation ceremony of your central sound, and I just happened to come and have a look." ”

"Haha, that's also welcome, and the students would be very happy to know that Minister Li was here in person."

After the greetings, Dean Wu noticed a few suits and leather shoes following Vice Minister Li, who did not look like middle-aged people from the Ministry of Culture.

"Look at my memory!"

Vice Minister Li looked at his vision and put it on the few people behind him, and he chuckled and said, "Dean Wu, let me introduce to you, this is director Katsuma Taguji from Toei Animation Production Agency, and he came to Beijing this time for the filming of the animated film "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". ”

After an interpreter on the side told these words to the others, the first person stepped forward and bowed slightly enthusiastically: "Hello Dean Wu, contemptible

Katsuma Tanoji. ”

Although Dean Wu was a little puzzled in his heart, what Vice Minister Li was doing with a cartoon director, but the visitor was a guest, and he shook hands with the other party with a smile and said, "Mr. Katsuma, welcome to the Central Conservatory of Music!" ”

Katsuma Taguji said respectfully: "Dean Wu is really embarrassed, this time I specially asked Minister Li to bring us over, if there is anything to disturb, I am very sorry, please forgive me." ”

"Mr. Katsuma-san is serious!" It was not the first time that Dean Wu had been in contact with foreign guests, and he was used to their apologies at every turn, and waved his hand: "I heard Mr. Katsuma's meaning just now, it seems that he came to our academy for something?" ”

"Yes, Dean Wu, we are here on behalf of Toei Animation Studios this time to reach a cooperation with your school, mainly for the soundtrack of the animated film "Three Kingdoms" and the musicians of traditional Chinese musical instruments, ......" (The translation of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in the book is called Three Kingdoms, not Chen Shou's)

With Katsuma Tanoji's explanation, Dean Wu and the heads of several departments understood why these people came back today.

Since the book was written, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has not only been widely sought after and loved by readers in China, but also set off a long-lasting Three Kingdoms craze since the Edo period, and countless people have become loyal fans of the culture of the Three Kingdoms.

Speaking of how much I love this book, in the 18th century, I published the "Picture Book Popular Three Kingdoms" based on pictures, and hundreds of years have passed, and the audience of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is becoming more and more widely used in the capital.

Katsuma Tanoji, who came to Beijing this time, has loved watching comic books on the theme of "Three Kingdoms" since he was a child, and after he grew up to become an animation director, he came up with the idea of making "Three Kingdoms" into an animated movie.

In 1986, he finally got through Toei Animation and agreed to adapt "Three Kingdoms", which had a wide influence in Japan and even Asia, as an animated film. After half a year of preparation for the project at the beginning of this year, Katsuma Tian Guji took people to Chinese mainland for field investigation, in order to restore the most authentic "history of the three countries".

This time, Katsuma Taguji came to the Central Conservatory of Music mainly to invite some musicians from traditional Chinese musical instruments such as guzheng and erhu from CCTV to enrich and improve the episodes of animated films.

After listening to the other party's intentions, Dean Wu nodded and said, "No problem, Mr. Katsuma, we are happy to cooperate with you Toei Animation." ”

"Thank you so much Dean Wu." Katsuma Taguji looked happy, it seems that this visit to Beijing is going very well, not only through the Ministry of Culture to get some on-site shooting opportunities, but also smoothly cooperate with CCTV.

Vice Minister Li on the side smiled at this time: "Okay two, the graduation ceremony should start soon, let's go to the auditorium." ”

"That's right, Minister Li and Mr. Katsuma, please!"

Dean Wu waved his hand and led the group to the auditorium.

……

……

In the auditorium, counselors maintained order in the aisles, reminding students who came early not to make loud noises.

Some school leaders were also in place early, sitting in the first row, waiting for the graduation ceremony to begin.

In the middle of the fifth row, Cheng Shaojun looked left and right, she was coming to Yangyin for the first time today, she was very curious about everything around her, looked at the tightly closed curtain on the stage, and asked Fang Yuanchao who was sitting next to her, "How many Yan Ge are on stage?" ”

"The opening show is Yan Ge."

"Opening show?"

"Yes, the "Forbidden City" written by Yan Ge has been set as the opening song early on."

"That's pretty good."

Cheng Shaojun was a little stunned, although she didn't go to college or participated in the graduation ceremony, as a member of the art troupe, she naturally knew that the opening program was definitely the highlight, and it was usually the most important program in the troupe that could be the first to take the stage.

At this time, the two senior male and female hosts on the stage wore dresses and thick makeup, and walked onto the stage with steps.

Seeing that the ceremony was about to begin, the voices in the audience gradually became quieter, until finally no one spoke.

After the two hosts came to the stage, they looked at the audience without stage fright, and the male host said in a standard deep broadcast tone: "Respected leaders, teachers, students, hello! ”

As soon as the words fell, the male and female hosts bowed together, and the audience applauded instantly.

"Yesterday, with hope and expectation, you entered the door of the Central Conservatory of Music! Today, we are gathered here for the graduation ceremony, but we want to say goodbye to our alma mater, our teachers, and our classmates......"

The opening remarks were not long, about three minutes or so, and the male host changed his voice: "Applause to welcome Vice Minister Li of the Ministry of Culture to congratulate the graduating students......"

After Minister Li's speech, the dean spoke, the dean finished speaking, the director finished speaking, the director finished speaking, and the representative of the graduates spoke......

"When will this be longer than the opening ceremony!" Fang Yuanchao scratched the back of his head, he remembered that at the opening ceremony last year, the school leaders didn't talk so much nonsense.

Male host: "Sincere teachings, heartfelt words." The speeches of several leading teachers and student representatives just now are to depict the prospects of the future for the graduating students, and also to give sincere and beautiful encouragement to the students who are still studying at their alma mater! ”

The hostess took over the conversation and said: "Yes, that's right, keep it in mind and practice it!" Next, in order to bid farewell to the graduating students who are about to leave their alma mater, the teachers and students of our school have prepared some programs! ”

The students below were so excited that they applauded desperately, lamenting that the speech was finally over.

"The next opening performance of the program "The Forbidden City", the conductor is Li Yange, who is a freshman composer, and the performer is a ...... of the fourth-year folk music department."

"It's coming, it's coming!" Aid from the audience pointed to the stage.

"yes, I heard you."

Cheng Shaojun applauded vigorously, looking forward to Li Yange's next show.

After the applause.

The auditorium gradually fell silent.

At this time, the curtain had not yet opened, and the music was already playing.

A beautiful wind chime rang, like a gentle breeze, gently blowing on the cheeks of the crowd.

With the prelude, the curtain gradually opened little by little, like a shy flower, or a veiled young girl, slowly unveiling the veil of mystery.

The orchestra on the stage gradually revealed, and the first thing that was revealed to the teachers and students in the audience was a tall young man in a dark blue tunic, who raised his baton with his right hand and waved it gently with the change of rhythm.

Although only one back was exposed, Cheng Shaojun still recognized that he was Li Yange!

The stage, lighting, audience, music, under multiple backgrounds, the back of Li Yange in a Mao suit looks so eye-catching.

At this time, a bell rang suddenly, like a groundbreaking torrent, which not only unveiled the veil of this song, but also completely unveiled the curtain!

The percussion of the thin brass swells like waves, the cymbals and drums, the interlacing of various playing instruments, and the long overtones of the bronze bell from time to time, forming a majestic atmosphere and magnificent music!

Katsuma Tian Guji and several others said that their eyes were straight, they had not heard the majestic music, but they had never heard such a magnificent and emperor-like sound!

After Katsuma Tianguji was amazed, his heart was immediately excited:

"That's the music I'm looking for! This is the music that is most in line with the Three Kingdoms! ”
