Chapter 222 The soundtrack of
Yida Records, musical instrument room.
The past few days of rest have been quite nourishing.
Several of Lin Zhixing's songs were sold for good copyright prices, and a house in Peiping was bought at a negotiated price, and a professional decoration team was hired to do a simple renovation.
The alma mater's choir won first place in the college league with "The Intersection Where Phoenix Flowers Bloom", and the song successfully entered people's list of outstanding graduation songs.
With Dong Chen's efforts, the background video for the song "Homeland" was also completed.
With a good harvest in career and love, Lin Zhixing gained two pounds in just a few days of rest.
"Okay, very good, the first place tonight is yours!"
After listening to the rehearsal of the Sound of Soul Orchestra, Lin Zhixing gave a thumbs up. Tonight's "Summer of the Orchestra" is a four-to-three competition, and I am confident that they can win first place.
"Brother Lin, is it true?"
Since the first episode of the program, Lin Zhixing, who has created so many excellent songs, is no longer a boss in the eyes of the members of the "Tang Music Ensemble" and the "Sound of the Soul Ensemble", but a "god"!
"God" said that he could win first place tonight, and the morale of the band members was greatly boosted.
But they dare not let down their guard. Tonight, the Vienna Orchestra and the Philharmonic Orchestra will definitely fight for spots. The competition will be quite fierce.
"Don't worry, I'll send another post on Weibo to help you build momentum."
"Thank you, Brother Lin!"
Lin Zhixing said, edited a Weibo post and posted it.
[In "Summer of the Orchestra" tonight at 7 o'clock, the Sound of the Soul Orchestra will play the sound of the universe! 】
After this Weibo post was posted, it aroused heated discussions among netizens. At the same time, Lin Zhixing was ridiculed by netizens.
"Haha, the universe has no sound, don't you think it's annoying!"
"Oh, Brother Ye is studying music. If you don't know astronomy, you can understand it. Under this popular science, the universe has no sound."
"It's so funny, is it better to play without sound tonight than with sound?"
It wasn't until a comment appeared that I slapped these understanding brothers in the face.
"Let me explain it to you guys who understand from the physical level. The essence of sound is the conduction of vibration, and if there is movement, there must be vibration. The universe is always moving before the entropy increases to the limit, so vibration will always exist. It's just that in The density of matter in most spaces in "space" is extremely low, and the density of the transmission medium for vibration is extremely low. As a result, you cannot "hear" sound, but it does not mean that it does not exist. "
"The sun we see is the sun 8 minutes ago; the moon we see is the moon 1.3 seconds ago; the building we see one mile away is the one 5 microseconds ago; even if you are one meter away from me, I see It’s you who arrived 3 nanoseconds ago, and all we see is the past.”
"Well done, a group of knowledgeable brothers are questioning my brother!"
What was originally a simple Weibo post became a hot topic due to heated debate among netizens.
Even Lin Zhixing didn't expect this, and it added a lot of popularity to the game.
…
the other side.
A musical instrument rehearsal room.
"Brother Xu, are we sure we want to use this song tonight?"
"I used this song tonight. What should we use in the final?"
Faced with the confusion of the orchestra members, conductor Xu Chun raised his eyebrows and asked, "Isn't the number one from the Sound of Soul Orchestra or the Tang Music Ensemble? Do you still imagine that it is number one?"
"..."
The band members were silent.
"Our goal is the Vienna Orchestra. If we can beat them and advance to the top three, we will be successful!"
…
…
6:40 p.m.
Peking Radio Building, the recording site of "Summer of the Orchestra".
The audience lined up in an orderly manner, and Lin Zhixing also came to the scene to encourage the band members.
"The four-to-three competition will be quite fierce tonight! Let's predict which three bands will advance successfully?"
"The Tang Music Ensemble and the Sound of the Soul Ensemble are bound to enter, but I'm not sure about those two. I think the Vienna Orchestra has a higher chance."
"Yes, I think so too. The final showdown must be between Brother Oh and Master Heyi!"
Listen to the comments from the surrounding audience.
Lin Zhixing's lips curled up. It seemed that the two bands he created had been recognized by the audience.
…
At seven o'clock sharp.
After a gesture from the on-site director, the program "Summer of the Orchestra" officially started.
Lin Zhixing's Weibo post to promote the Sound of Soul Band attracted many new viewers to watch the show. They were all glued to the TV, waiting to hear this cosmic sound.
"Good evening, viewers!"
Under an exciting background music, a beautiful female host wearing a cheongsam came onto the stage, smiled and made an opening statement, "Welcome to the "Summer of the Orchestra" four-to-three competition, I am tonight's host Miaomiao …”
After some opening remarks, the four judges appeared amidst cheers.
"The first band is invited to appear below. Which band is it? Please look at the big screen!"
Following the direction of the host's finger, the names of the groups on the stage screen began to scroll. After the scrolling stopped, the names of the first group to appear were displayed in front of the audience.
The first group to take the stage was the "Vienna" orchestra. They played a world-famous piece with first-class performance.
But they did not come up with their trump card tonight. Based on the intimidation of the Tang Music Group and the Sound of Soul Band, they kept their trump card in the finals.
After the Vienna Orchestra came the Philharmonic Orchestra. Although they tried their best to show off their trump card, their performance was similar to that of the Vienna Orchestra tonight.
The orchestra members who finished the performance were very happy to listen to Xu Chun's words.
The suspense of promotion appeared.
…
"Thank you to the Philharmonic Orchestra for your wonderful performance. Which orchestra is playing next? Please look at the big screen!"
As soon as the host finished speaking, band information began to scroll on the screen.
"Now, I would like to invite the Sound of Soul Orchestra to perform the song "Interstellar" for you. Everyone welcomes it with applause!"
On the big screen on the stage, song information appeared.
【Interstellar】
[Composer: Lin Zhixing]
[Performance: Soul Sound Orchestra]
"Oh Brother is here with a new song!"
"Wow, Interstellar, this name is very sci-fi!"
"Come on, win this issue's first place!"
Amid the applause and cheers of the audience, the members of the Sound of Soul Orchestra took the stage. They were all very calm at this moment and had already booked the number one spot in their hearts.
The original name of the song should have been "Chasing in the Wilderness", but after all, there is no movie "Interstellar" in this world, so Lin Zhixing changed the name in order to sound more sci-fi.
As the orchestra conductor waved his baton, the melody was officially played.
The beginning of the song seemed like the calm before the storm, and then the atmospheric orchestral music and the solemn organ sounded. The organ is really the sound closest to the universe.
Score master Hans Zimmer spent two years composing the score for the film. The sound of the pipe organ was recorded at the Temple Church in London, and a huge performance system consisting of 34 string instruments, 24 wind instruments, 4 pianos and a 60-person choir was added.
The overall soundtrack is airy and breathy, as if it were a sound coming from a silent universe.
The sense of immersion was so strong that Lin Zhixing felt that he was not at the recording scene at this moment, but already in the dormant cabin with Anne Hathaway, and he especially wanted to recite a poem.
"Sending a mayfly to heaven and earth is a drop in the ocean."
"I mourn the brief moment of my life, and envy the infiniteness of the Yangtze River!"
The song creates an ethereal feeling of the universe at the beginning, making people feel as if they are in the vast universe and feel the stars.
As the formal movement begins, the melody gradually intensifies and speeds up.
At the same time, the slightly dark quality also reflects the brutal tearing and collision in the universe very well.
The universe is just like this. When you look up from the earth, you will always feel infinite emotion and beauty. But when you go deep into it, you can understand the dangers within it.
Jury seat.
Wang Yuehua, the musical instrument judge who often leans on his chair and gives people a lazy feeling, couldn't help but straighten up and even lean forward a little after hearing this piece of music.
He only knew how to play the instrument, but the artistic conception of this piece deeply shocked him, and it perfectly fit the artistic conception of the universe in his heart.
The same goes for another musical instrument judge, Xie Chunhong.
This music made her feel suffocated and depressed, making her feel that the vast universe was full of darkness and had no end, and that she was too small.
The performance is getting better and better.
A series of uninterrupted shining scales come one after another, like an endless planet, constantly calling the listener.
The other scales laid out behind are all dim. Low, distant.
Far and near in music are always relative concepts. Only with the brightness of the near can we contrast the darkness of the distance. Only with the embellishment of stars can we contrast the depth of the universe.
Under the increasingly intense contrast, the endless universe continues to extend, and the huge black hole continues to expand...
The audience's thoughts were pulled repeatedly by the powerful gravity, their breathing was completely disrupted at this moment, and their hearts were grabbed and beating violently, as if they would be swallowed by darkness in the next second.
But the Sound of Soul Band didn't give them any chance to breathe.
Complex emotions are constantly superimposed and collided, and the audience is like ants in the desert, waiting for the final judgment.
Jury seat.
"This song is great!"
Li Yumin excitedly pointed to the Sound of the Soul Orchestra on the stage with Huang Xiao, "This song can be said to be the pinnacle of science fiction songs! Number one, absolutely number one tonight!"
"yes!"
Huang Xiao had goosebumps now. Lin Zhixing brought him so much surprise that he really liked it beyond words.
…
Backstage lounge.
"What kind of divine composition is this?"
"Do they have any upper limit? Will they keep breaking through?"
Both the Vienna Orchestra and the Philharmonic Orchestra were stunned. Compared with this piece of music, there was no comparison between their own music and this one.
Even the members of the Tang Music Troupe started to get nervous.
The "Stealing Kung" prepared by Brother Lin for himself is good, but compared with this magnificent song, it suddenly feels small.
…
On the stage.
The speed of sound is constantly advancing, and amid the boundless sound of music, the emotions of the audience are like rockets taking off into the sky, and they are in the process of constantly breaking away from gravity.
“I’m so lucky to be able to see a performance of this level this time!”
"Why don't we show this kind of work in the finals? All I can say is, Ye Ge is awesome!"
“It’s hard for me to imagine how shocking the final song of the Sound of Soul Orchestra will be…”
The music pushed the atmosphere to a climax, and the audience's senses were greatly shocked.
Just when it was about to reach its limit, and the audience was looking forward to imagining what "big explosion" would happen, suddenly the music stopped.
Everything suddenly disappeared, silent and without a trace.
Regarding this ending, the audience's eyes widened. You looked at me and I looked at you, obviously a little unresponsive.
Although the whole song only lasts for a little over two minutes, the passages convey a very beautiful feeling. From the slow melody at the beginning, the rhythm starts to speed up, showing a mysterious, gorgeous and ethereal feeling, and then stops abruptly at the end, giving people unlimited reverie.
The recording hall was extremely quiet.
The audience at the scene had not yet woken up from the previous shock.
After waiting for a long time, the Sound of Soul band bowed and packed up their instruments, and when the hostess was about to come on stage, they finally realized what they were doing, and then they applauded violently.
"It's so awesome. This song vividly expresses the vastness of the universe!"
“I deeply understand the insignificance of human beings and the shortness of life, and awe arises spontaneously!”
…
off screen.
A college music club’s orientation interview.
Xiao Ding is a die-hard fan of Fengqi Wutong, and his song "Mrs. Luxury Fragrance" just set the interview scene on fire.
While waiting for the result of the interview, he took out his mobile phone, put on his headphones, and used his mobile phone to connect to TV and watch the program "Summer of the Orchestra".
The first time he watched this program, he was also attracted by Weibo and wanted to listen to the voice of the universe.
After listening to the whole song, he was deeply shocked.
Magnificent, epic, and majestic.
Just hearing the music can make you think of a vast universe where beauty and danger coexist.
At this moment, he felt that his body had turned into sand, and the cranial nerves in his brain were intertwined like a scene in the universe. They were so small that they were just molecules in the huge cosmic system.
"Classmate, congratulations on passing the interview!"
The director of the society came over with a form and asked him to fill in his personal information so that he could make a society card.
"Name?"
"Which department?"
"Classmate, which province is your family from?"
"Mongolian……"
Xiao Ding fell into deep thought midway through his words. Of course he knew the meaning of province.
After listening to the song "Interstellar", my thoughts are rapidly calculating. How long has the province existed as a unit of human civilization?
From the provinces of the Roman Empire to today's federal and provincial-municipal divisions, from the perspective of human history, the existence of provinces is only a brief moment. When humanity establishes the Galactic Empire ten thousand years from now, will the province still exist?
From the Camite Nebula to the Virgo Super Galaxy Cluster, when human civilization gradually established a huge human empire along the stars, it no longer made sense to trace the origin.
Perhaps only the mother-child relationship, which is the bond of biological reproduction, can prove the identity of galactic citizens.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ding took off his headphones and said seriously.
"Mama gave birth to it."
