Chapter 220 218. Forbidden City: Reminiscence

However, this is just the beginning.

As the palace gate slowly opened, passing through the Jinshui Bridge, the 30,000-square-meter square in front of the square made everyone feel broad-minded.

Especially accompanied by the passionate music, the Hall of Supreme Harmony standing in the center of the square was majestically displayed in front of everyone with a hint of sacred brilliance under the early sun, which shocked the audience and made them feel an inexplicable awe of the ancient imperial power for the first time.

The melody of the music rose again at this moment, and then it became high and heavy, as if declaring the sovereignty of the core of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Then the Hall of Central Harmony, the Hall of Preserving Harmony, and the Palace of Heavenly Purity, the Hall of Union and Peace and the Palace of Earthly Tranquility in the inner court flashed on the screen one by one, and these palaces that were already familiar to everyone on weekdays gave everyone a fresh feeling at this moment.

Especially with the background of music, these palaces seem to have traveled through time and space, back to the era of the ancient kingship, majestic, solemn, and mysterious...

As the camera slowly zoomed out, the entire Forbidden City gradually appeared in front of everyone, and the music slowly became low at this time, as if telling the sleep of this magnificent palace at this time.

"This... Is this the Forbidden City where I have been for ten years? Yes, this is our Forbidden City." A middle-aged man took off his glasses in shock, his glasses were wide open, and the whole person was shaking with excitement.

Habits will make people forget, just like this middle-aged man, who has been working here for ten years, and even the most beautiful places will become ordinary, but with this promotional documentary, his long-accustomed heart was suddenly awakened, as if he had returned to the first time he came to the Forbidden City ten years ago, with a yearning heart, admiring every brick and tile of this imperial city.

In the subsequent scenes, the Imperial Seal, the Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival, the Songshan Traveler, the Sanshi Plate, the Xiangshan Nine Elders, etc., all national cultural relics were displayed one by one in front of people, and the soundtrack also changed at this time. Although the main melody was still the same, it changed from the heavy and majestic atmosphere to delicate, mysterious and graceful.

The promotional video was edited by Hank himself, and every scene was remembered in his heart. At this time, he closed his eyes and recalled the scenes of the promotional video in his mind. Combined with the soundtrack in his ears, Hank did not feel that Nie Wei was taking shortcuts in this soundtrack, but made him feel a sense of seamlessness from the bottom of his heart.

If someone asked him at this time, "Do you still doubt Nie Wei's level?", he would definitely shake his head firmly, and stretch out his hands, and both hands, and raise his thumbs to express his admiration.

Hank not only thought so, but the next second, he did it, stretching out both hands and raising his thumbs to Nie Wei who was not far away with a calm smile.

"Hey, Nie Wei, that foreigner is giving you a thumbs up!" Director Liu reminded Nie Wei with a smile.

Nie Wei turned around and saw that Hank was giving him a thumbs up. Seeing this, Nie Wei smiled and nodded at him, and gladly accepted the other party's praise.

Because Nie Wei was very confident that his soundtrack deserved such praise.

Five minutes passed quickly, and this promotional documentary with temporary editing and soundtrack also came to an end. During these five minutes, everyone present seemed to be in the majestic palace city in history, listening to a mysterious person telling them about the people and things that happened in this palace city, including the prosperous scene and the peaceful daily life. Just listening and appreciating, people unknowingly remembered the past of this palace city.

When the last note sounded gently, everyone present was still immersed in it and couldn't extricate themselves. After more than ten seconds, accompanied by a gentle applause, soon, the applause in this conference room gathered one after another, and finally became a torrent, resounding throughout the room, for a long time.

"Great, Director Liu, this promotional video will definitely greatly enhance the impression of our Forbidden City among tourists!"

"Yes, I just thought it was excellent when I watched the promotional video before, but I didn't expect that it would give people such a shocking feeling after the soundtrack. I still have goose bumps on my body now. Comrade Nie Wei, although I don't understand music, your soundtrack is really great."

"Hank, you are also very good. I blamed Lao Liu for spending money indiscriminately at the beginning, but now it seems worth it!"

Everyone talked about it in the conference room and was very excited. The main reason was that the short five-minute documentary promotional video just now gave them too much shock, making them feel uncomfortable if they didn't express it. This is a feeling of eagerness to share good things with partners, and they can't help it at all.

Director Liu also understood the feelings of these people, so he let them chat for more than ten minutes before patting the table and signaling silence.

"I believe that everyone present has already had a deep impression of this propaganda documentary." As soon as Director Liu said his opening remarks, there was already a nod of approval from the audience, which made Director Liu feel satisfied. After all, he advocated the filming of this propaganda film. Those who opposed him spending money to shoot this film all nodded at this time. How could he not be happy in his heart?

After all, this was an affirmation of his vision and a reinforcement of the power in his hands.

Happy to be happy, Director Liu still looked calm and indifferent on the surface, emphasizing the importance of this promotional video and the subsequent popularization work. Until the end, Director Liu suddenly smiled and pointed at Nie Wei and Hank , thanked: "Of course, the success of this promotional video is also inseparable from comrades Hank and Nie Wei. It is their sincere cooperation that made this work possible. I hope everyone can give them applause again." Two."

Following Director Liu's words, there was another round of thunderous applause.

"These guys from government departments are always applauding. It's better to give them more money." Nie Wei showed a bright smile and clapped her hands equally enthusiastically, but she was already complaining in her heart.

After receiving praise from countless leaders, Nie Wei finally escaped from the Palace Museum. These guys really regarded themselves as the civil servants under them, but looking at Hank rubbing his shoulders, Nie Wei felt balanced in his heart. After all, you are not alone in this kind of thing, right?

"Nie Wei, I'm sorry for my arrogance before." Seeing Nie Wei's gaze, Hank put down his hand and apologized to Nie Wei seriously.

When the other party showed such an attitude, Nie Wei really had nothing to care about, so he waved his hand to indicate that it didn't matter.

But Hank didn't seem to have finished speaking, and continued: "Nie Wei, your age gave me an illusion, but after today I finally understand that genius is part of age, just like Mozart started composing at the age of four, Bedo Fen can perform on stage at the age of eight. Their talent cannot be measured by their age, and the same is true for you."

Hank looked at Nie Wei with burning eyes. Of course, Nie Wei could see that the other person was not someone who suddenly changed his interests. This kind of burning eyes was filled with a kind of admiration. He did not expect that. This first soundtrack will conquer the other person like this.

"Mozart and Beethoven are music masters. It's too flattering for you to compare me with them." Nie Wei said modestly.

Who knows, but Hank affirmed reluctantly: "Nie Wei, you Chinese people are so humble in Thailand. The soundtrack just now is the best I have ever heard. Your musical talent is unparalleled. I believe that when this promotional video is released That moment is a moment that shocks the whole world. You and I will become famous. I will become a world-class documentary director, and you will be a world-class dubbing master."

Hank said at the end, his face turned red with excitement. He was very aware of the quality of his promotional documentary. Coupled with Nie Wei's shocking soundtrack, he firmly believed that this was a documentary that must be popular all over the world. Promotional video, he has even begun to fantasize about how many honors he will receive next year.

"I'd like to lend you some good words!" Nie Wei left a few words, waved her hand, and left gracefully.

Looking at Nie Wei's back, Hank smiled brightly and shouted loudly: "Good luck, good luck will definitely come true, oh oh oh oh oh!" After shouting, he seemed to remember again What? While Nie Wei was still in his sight, Hank once again stretched out his hands and gave two thumbs up!

The remaining meticulous work is far less heavy than the original creation, and Nie Wei can even do it while taking classes every day.

These problems are mainly focused on how to perfectly combine modern music elements such as electronic keyboards, pianos, and synthesizers with ancient musical instruments with Chinese elements such as bells, guzheng, erhu, flutes, and Xiaos. This is both a feature and difficulty of this soundtrack. .

In order to solve these problems, Nie Wei even went to the Conservatory of Music to consult many teachers, and finally completed the entire soundtrack ten days later.

"Have you figured out what to call it?" Luo Kai listened to the full version of the soundtrack with an intoxicated look on his face, and then asked curiously.

"It comes from the Forbidden City, so it should be named after the Forbidden City." Nie Wei also had a satisfied look on his face. After hearing Luo Kai's question, he answered casually.

"Think about it again, the name "Forbidden City" is a bit thin and indistinguishable." Luo Kai was very dissatisfied. How could such a good song have such a perfunctory name? He thought that after others heard it, , I searched for this song online, and all the results came up were information about Forbidden City tourism, and Luo Kai couldn't bear it.

Luo Kai's words brought Nie Wei back to his senses. Thinking about it, he had finally created such a classic soundtrack. The name of such a memorable piece should not be too perfunctory.

Thinking about the promotional video, and then recalling his creative process at the time, Nie Wei finally said after a while: "Otherwise, let's call it "Forbidden City: Memories". Pursuing the memory of history and inheriting Chinese civilization, this is who I am. The core idea of ​​​​the original composition of this song.”

""The Forbidden City: Memories"? The Forbidden City Memories... Well, this is good, just call it this, I will report it to you right away." Luo Kai thought about the new name for a while, and soon a satisfied smile appeared on his face, just adding more In just two words, the central idea of ​​the entire soundtrack is fully expressed.

Early the next morning, before Nie Wei got up, she heard her mother's joyful laughter.

"What are you doing, so happy?" Nie Wei was woken up and when she came to the yard, she saw her mother humming a song and pruning the leaves of the flowers and plants in the yard.

"Of course it's because my son is amazing. You don't know. Yesterday I went to the Palace Museum for a meeting, and those people kept praising you. My precious son, you are awesome." When Su said these words Qing's eyes were filled with laughter. Thinking about how many people praised her son yesterday, Su Qing felt a burst of pride. She was much happier than if she had repaired a national treasure.

"Haha, my son said that he would not disappoint his mother. How about it? As soon as my work came out, it shocked all those guys. Didn't you see that there was a leader with Mediterranean hair who couldn't even watch a cigarette? It fell to the ground, and he was still holding a lighter in his hand. He almost lit the beard on his mouth..."

"Don't be ridiculous, that's Director Li, but did he really almost light up his beard, haha."

The two of them chatted happily together all morning, and they were still laughing until Zhou Aiguo arrived.

"What are you talking about? You are so happy, why don't you share it with me." Zhou Aiguo said with a smile.

"As for the children, I had a meeting yesterday and praised Nie Wei at the same time." Su Qing gave a simple answer, but Zhou Aiguo agreed: "That's praiseworthy. I've seen the promotional video, and I Now I want to find Nie Wei and that Hank to take a photo for our real estate company.”

"No, your company just smells like a wealthy person."

"You kid, you actually discriminate against you professionally..."

The family laughed and laughed for a while, Zhou Duoduo also got up, and the little girl had to go to school, so Su Qing hurriedly went to make breakfast, leaving Zhou Aiguo and Nie Wei chatting in the yard.

"After finishing the music work, do you still have work recently? If not, come with me to see the water plant. It is already under construction." Zhou Aiguo and Nie Wei asked while discussing.

Unfortunately, Nie Wei shook his head and refused.

"Uncle Zhou, the water plant just needs to handle the project well. I believe you are in the real estate business, so there won't be any problems. When the water plant is really built and products start to be produced, I will help you then. , I will definitely find a way to quickly open up the market for you.”

Speaking of this, Nie Wei showed a helpless smile on his face and explained: "I'm really out of time recently. Feng Xiaogang knows that I have a role in his New Year's film, which has prompted me several times." Well, if Wang Zhonglei hadn’t stopped them, they would have come to the company to arrest people. I will definitely report it tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I can’t really delay the release of someone else’s movie just because of me.”

"Hey, you guy is even busier than me, the boss. In that business, filming Goblin and Feng Xiaogang's New Year's film are very important. I must seize the opportunity." Zhou Aiguo teased with a smile, and then ordered .

Nie Wei nodded seriously towards Zhou Aiguo.

Early the next morning, Nie Wei received another notice from the crew. This time he had no reason to refuse. He quickly asked Luo Kai and Luo Yuan to pack up and follow him to the crew to report.

At the same time, the Palace Museum also began to be busy promoting this documentary. The first stop was China Television...

Thanks to book friends such as Tian Xiaolin, Liuyun Xianyue, pigkingser, Gale Wind Xiaochuangchuang, boyhoods99, 0773, DaKing, Hao Gamble, Yy in the Wind and Rain, Big Brother Bo, Undead Bird and other book friends for their rewards.

This soundtrack is actually the Forbidden City trilogy composed by Shensi Zhe. I personally like it very much, so on the one hand, this plot is to make the protagonist more successful in the music circle, and it is not limited to pop music, but it is also my own I personally want to mix in a little emotional personal stuff.

Today I will only have 4,000 words. The main reason is that the company signed a contract, drank some wine, and my head hurts. I’m really sorry...
