083 [Yongle Bell] Ask for tickets

"What a magnificent, majestic piece of music!" Fang Aiguo couldn't help but admire.

"Yes, the sound of brilliance!"

Director Tang is also the first time to hear the full version of "Memories of the Forbidden City" today, and the shock in his heart is no less than that of Fang Aiguo.

The two nodded in the corner.

Ning Ying, who was sitting there on the other side, glanced at the side face of director Bertolucci, and saw that his brows were furrowed, and she could roughly understand why he was frowning, thinking about the music behind, she was very confident, and believed that the director would definitely watch it.

Sure enough, as Li Yange conducted and the orchestra continued to play, the majestic sound gradually died down, and the ensuing tight rhythm seemed to symbolize a big battle going on in the storm.

The music is like a dynasty that has entered decline from the prosperous era, facing the sad color of the flag suddenly moving, the black clouds pressing the city, and the mountain rain coming and the wind filling the building.

Decay, desolation, grief......

A lot of emotions came to the hearts of everyone.

As the percussion of the last rush gradually declined, after experiencing the country's collapse and dynasty, it finally embarked on the road to destruction.

Bertolucci frowned, then gradually soothed, and then completely relaxed, enjoying the bleak music.

It's just a song.

There was thunderous applause.

Director Tang and Fang Aiguo applauded excitedly.

Bertolucci stepped forward with a happy face and applauded and said, "Lee, this piece you wrote is amazing, this is the music I want!" ”

"Thank you." Li Yange smiled politely.

"But I don't need the music of the first half."

Bertolucci suddenly changed his voice and said: "Of course, I don't mean to say that the first half is bad, but I just think that the music in the first half is majestic and not at all in line with the scene of the last years of the Qing Dynasty in my movie." ”

Li Yange said: "Yes, this song was written by me after visiting the Forbidden City some time ago, and it is divided into three parts......

As Li Yange explained the trilogy, Bertolucci nodded approvingly.

When Bertolucci first saw the Forbidden City, the huge and magnificent building really gave people a sense of shock.

But as you stay in the Forbidden City for a long time, the dilapidated palace that has been in disrepair for a long time, and the overgrown roads will inevitably have a trace of desolation.

From the grandeur of the first sight to the dilapidated and incomplete appearance after entering the Forbidden City, this is very much in line with the process of Li Yange's trilogy.

Bertolucci sighed: "Lee, you are the most talented composer I have ever met, and in just over half a month, you can make three such excellent music." ”

"Director Bertolucci has a good reputation, I just have a feeling about it, and today's rehearsal went so smoothly thanks to the work of our school director and teachers."

As soon as he said this, Director Tang and the other two teachers of the composition department who came to help were very happy with their ruddy faces.

Hearing this, Bertolucci glanced at Director Tang and them, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Li, I like this piece very much, and I will discuss the specific matters with you later, but I hope you will record a sample as soon as possible in the near future." ”

"No problem." Li Yange glanced at Ning Ying, thinking that this time the Yongle Bell should not be able to run.

After chatting with the director here, Zunlong stepped forward and stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Li, this song you composed is really good, magnificent, and fascinating, it is really worth the trip!" ”

"Mr. Zunlong is so polite, I like your movies very much, and it's an honor for you to come today." Li Yange smiled, the last time I saw Zunlong still wearing the emperor's costume of the Qing Dynasty, but now he is dressed in modern daily clothes, which is three points more handsome than the emperor's suit.

"Mr. Li meets again."

Because of the relationship last time, Chen Chong was a little more familiar with Li Yange than Zunlong, and at that time he only thought that Li Yange was a lucky student, who could get the director's appreciation and get the opportunity to score the film, but now after hearing this "Forbidden City", he immediately concluded that this person's future is immeasurable, and he also had the idea of making friends.

"Yes, I met Miss Chen again." Li Yange looked at Chen Chong, she was wearing jeans and a plaid shirt today, which was much better than the clear dress with a flag on her head last time.

Everyone chatted for a while, Director Tang looked at his watch, the time was already more than eleven o'clock, and immediately said: "It's not early, everyone, I have already prepared a meal in the cafeteria, you might as well chat while eating." ”

The scene in the Forbidden City has been filmed, and the puppet Manchurian scene will not start filming until tomorrow after going to Yanshan, plus Bertolucci just has a lot of ideas to say to Li Yange, after all, a movie can't just have a few minutes of soundtrack, so he also gladly agreed to Director Tang's invitation.

Immediately, the group walked to the cafeteria with some laughter.

…………

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

North 3rd Ring Road, HD District.

In the Great Bell Temple, Li Yange and Ning Ying followed behind a person in charge and came to the famous big bell tower in the temple.

Soon arrived at the place, the person in charge pointed to the bronze bell in the building that was six or seven meters high, and said proudly: "Miss Ning, this is the Yongle Bell stored in the Great Bell Temple!" ”

"This bell is really big!" Ning Ying also came to the Great Bell Temple for the first time to witness this "peerless bell king", this bronze bell is really too big, the height of the light is almost two or three stories high, and the width is even more than three people can hug together.

Li Yange had come to the Great Bell Temple to see it in his previous life, but it was not the first time he had seen the Yongle Bell, so he was not as surprised as Ning Ying, but the shock it brought was still indescribable.

"Of course the Yongle bell is big."

The person in charge smiled and introduced: "Miss Ning, this Yongle bell was cast in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than 500 years. The bell is 6.94 meters high, the diameter of the bell mouth is 3.3 meters, the thickness of the bell lip is 220 mm, and it weighs about 42 tons.

The inside and outside of the bell body are filled with Buddhist scriptures, a total of more than 227,000 words, the body of the book is regular script, and it is said that it is the handwriting of Shen Du, a famous calligrapher at that time. The most amazing thing is that the Yongle bell adopts the moldless casting method, which is cast at one time without any traces of grinding! ”

Ning Ying couldn't help but stare at it when he heard that the big bell was cast at one time, and even the regular script Buddhist scriptures on it were cast, and he was dumbfounded: "Even the words on it were cast at one time?" ”

"Yes, it's all a one-time casting success! Therefore, Yongle Bell is a well-deserved peerless bell king! ”

When the person in charge said this, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I have often heard people say that modern people are smarter than the ancients, but since I saw this Yongle bell, I know the wisdom of the ancients!" ”

When Ning Ying was still in shock, Li Yange went straight to the point and said, "Director Wei, I don't know when we can try this big bell?" ”

Director Wei said: "In principle, in order to protect the Yongle Bell, it can only be struck once a year, but since the leaders above have agreed, you can naturally come over at any time." But you know that the bell rings once a year is New Year's Day, and nowadays ringing the bell will cause some bad impressions, so you can only ring it once. ”

"No problem, just once!"

Of course, Li Yange knew that the Yongle Bell was not to be knocked when he wanted to, and it was already very good to be able to ring it once, anyway, he had already figured out a way.
