Chapter 211: Admit defeat

In a blink of an eye, another few days passed.

It's September 10th.

In the early morning, the movie "Forbidden City" was released, and because of the good publicity in the early stage, the audience for the premiere that night was the largest at the same time.

Because it was too late, the better and didn't go to the cinema to watch it, but judging from the online evaluation the next day, the reputation of this movie is good.

As many expected. For this movie, in addition to the plot and actors, the most discussed thing is the soundtrack.

To be precise, it is the soundtrack composed by Lu Haixiang.

The name is "Memories of the Forbidden City".

Everyone's evaluation of this work is very high.

is called a rare film soundtrack masterpiece in recent years, and even thinks that among Lu Haixiang's many works, this one is enough to rank in the top ten.

By the next morning, Lu Haixiang's fans had already begun to celebrate.

"Daddy Lu, yyds!"

"Get down on your knees and call Daddy!"

"Don't you know if your opponent still has the courage to make a move?"

"Sure enough, it didn't disappoint me, I can imagine the despair of the whale at this time."

"Whale Fall is still too young!"

"Ginger is still old and spicy!"

“……”

Although it is said that for many people who like music, music itself should be equal, no matter what type of music, as long as it sounds good, there is no distinction between high and low.

However, in this world, nothing is treated equally.

The same goes for music.

Many people subconsciously feel that classical is more elegant than popular.

Professional singers have a higher status than internet celebrities.

Soundtracks are more difficult to compose than ordinary songs, and in circles, soundtrack masters are naturally more noble than composers of ordinary pop songs.

Therefore, even though "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" is more popular with the public, Lu Haixiang's fans and even many passers-by still feel that works like "Memories of the Forbidden City" are better than the former in terms of concept, creative difficulty, and artistry.

Actually, it's not just this time to face a whale fall. Some of Lu Haixiang's fans have had such a situation before.

They seem to be at the top of the chain of contempt, often condescending on the Internet to criticize pop music for being too cheesy, not tasteful enough, and not connotative enough.

This kind of self-feeling good makes many people disgusted, however, this time, even if netizens don't like their attitude, this time they have to admit that Lu Haixiang's soundtrack is really well written.

Coupled with the blessing of the movie's plot, the score of the composition has increased a little more.

Although I haven't heard of Whale Fall's soundtrack, most people don't think his work can be better than "Memories of the Forbidden City".

This thought continued until ten o'clock in the morning.

The promotional video of the Forbidden City was finally released.

Even if you know that the whale falls and the other party's hope of winning is slim.

After discovering that the promotional video was released, many people still couldn't help but click on the five-minute video.

Even many people who are still at work have not held back their curiosity, secretly wearing headphones and watching with their mobile phones on their seats, running to the toilet to squat on the toilet to watch, running downstairs to watch under the pretext of smoking, and so on.

In just half an hour after the promotional video was released, the number of views was about to exceed tens of millions.

Lu Haixiang, who rarely slept late yesterday, happened to finish breakfast at this time, and was ready to go online to brush up on the audience's comments about his soundtrack work.

Although he knows that most of the people praise him every time, he just likes to see what people praise him, especially many young netizens, who are very interesting to praise people.

Probably Weibo, sure enough, there is an entry about his own soundtrack on the hot search.

Before he clicked on it, he saw a hot search below that attracted him even more: the Forbidden City promotional video.

Has it been put out?

Lu Haixiang raised his eyebrows, and immediately clicked on it.

Although I don't think the soundtrack of Whale Fall can compare to myself, people are always curious.

Click on the screen, and the beginning is a huge phantom with the sunrise in the east.

The vermilion walls, glazed roofs, and brilliant colors give people a sense of the vicissitudes of time in the slightly ethereal sound of bell curtains.

With this ethereal sound, the audience seemed to walk through the film of time into this ancient building.

Then, the picture walks along the white marble staircase, from far to near, knowing that what meets everyone's eyes is a huge vermilion gate.

With a huge chime and cymbals ringing in unison, the melody turns, bringing out a solemn and majestic momentum.

The gate of the Forbidden City was pushed open, solemn and majestic, and the feudal etiquette that symbolized the imperial power seemed to sound again.

The original version of "Memories of the Forbidden City" was composed by the Divine Thinker, and the main orchestrations in it were electronically synthesized, Yu Hai personally felt that the sound of the chimes was more harmonious, natural and thicker, so his version of "Memories of the Forbidden City" basically adopted the recording method of symphony live performance, so that Lao Xu found a lot of musicians to participate.

Yu Hai felt that the version he had completed would not be inferior to the original.

As he expected, the sound of the main theme alone made Lu Haixiang, who suddenly heard this paragraph, change color.

Without him, the chimes and the Forbidden City are really too compatible.

It is really fitting that such a majestic and endless sound resounded in such a majestic palace.

The music and the picture are matched to each other, adding a touch of historical charm to both sides.

As a result, with such an atmospheric, rich, dignified, far-reaching, and highly immersive tune, the Forbidden City, one of the crystallizations of Chinese civilization, was displayed in front of all the audiences one by one.

People seem to have seen the rise and fall of civilization for thousands of years through the long scroll of history of such a glorious and magnificent building, and the ups and downs.

Then a sad wind music made people taste the sophistication and grievances behind such a thick culture.

The atmosphere is majestic, and there is no lack of ancient charm.

The non-stop drum sound is like beating on the listener's heart, making people feel like they are in the palace building on the screen, and in addition to the heroic breeding of Top Gun, there is also a sense of sadness and vicissitudes of life.

The relaxed look on Lu Haixiang's face had long since disappeared, and was replaced by a serious and dignified face.

Even as a veteran of playing with music, he couldn't help but be shocked by the sense of time and space that was consistent with such a song.

As a master of soundtracks, he knows best how difficult it is to create such an instrument that is perfectly compatible with the Forbidden City.

It is not enough to rely on a flash of inspiration, without enough background and strength.

At this moment, the first thought in his mind was, how could such an ethereal and atmospheric work be written by a young man like Whale Fall?

On second thought, he immediately realized that his suspicions were very ridiculous.

Immediately afterwards, a trace of jealousy and envy uncontrollably appeared in his heart.

I envy that the other party is so young, and he can write such a wonderful work that makes him ashamed.

In the process of listening to a work, Lu Haixiang's thoughts also fluctuated with the emotions in the song.

Regret, chagrin, shame, helplessness, frustration......

The shocking melody he had just heard and his confident answer to a reporter's question a few days ago were intertwined in his mind.

After a long time, the video playback ended.

Lu Haixiang put down his mobile phone and looked out the window and was silent for a long time.

Just when his wife walked in front of him who was motionless with doubts, he raised his somewhat stiff neck and pulled out a smile: "Let's go to the Forbidden City to play!" ”

"Wow!" His wife immediately began to plan her play in high spirits.

And Lu Haixiang also slowly exhaled a breath, picked up the put down mobile phone again, hesitated for a moment, and finally sent out a Weibo: "I want to go to the Forbidden City to play." ”

The comments on this Weibo exceeded 10,000 minutes in minutes:

“+1”

“+11”

"Let's do it together!"

"Go Together"

"Tut-tut, Daddy Qu's way of admitting defeat is really fresh and refined!"

“……”

That's right, Lu Haixiang just admitted defeat.

He also had to throw in the towel.

Even if the time has not yet reached twelve o'clock and the data of the new song list has not been updated, he knows very well that the results of "Memories of the Forbidden City" are definitely not as good as "Memories of the Forbidden City".

Taking the initiative to admit defeat can also reflect his demeanor and principles, and if he doesn't admit it, he will lose face.

Netizens didn't expect him to admit that he lost to Whale Fall so simply.

This made many people embarrassed to slap him in the face and mock him.

As a result, the quarrels and quarrels that might have been brewing gradually subsided.

The aggressive attitude suddenly had no outlet, and many people felt uncomfortable in their hearts, so they could only shift the target, and then the publicity effect of the Forbidden City propaganda film exploded directly.

"After listening to music like this, I want to go straight to the throne."

"I want to go to the Forbidden City too!"

"Is that the charm of the soundtrack?"

"So powerful!!"

“……”

Such a result is something that many people did not expect before.

For example, the producers of the movie "The Forbidden City".

The producer looked at Director Xie and sighed: "I didn't expect Master Lu to lose to a young man, I made a mistake!" ”

Although Director Xie was a little unexpected, he was not worried about the appearance at all: "Don't worry, it will not have an impact on our box office." ”

"Doesn't it affect?" The producers were a little confused.

"The Forbidden City is the filming location of our films, and if the Forbidden City is on fire, our films will naturally rise." Director Xie looked scheming: "The loss of the soundtrack does not mean that our movie has lost, and now that our movie has a good reputation, we can take advantage of this east wind to go further." ”

The producer suddenly realized and gave Director Xie a thumbs up: "High! ”

On the other hand, Xiang Wenle, the director of the promotional video, looked at the rising video views, not to mention how excited he was.

He Lianhui, the director of the Palace Museum, was also very happy when he looked at the tickets for the special exhibition that were sold out in a short time.

After refreshing the new song list, Yu Hai, who found that he was still the first place, also showed a relaxed smile.

Perhaps in this inexplicable showdown, only Lu Haixiang and his fans are unhappy.
