A top superstar who started as a composer

Chapter 212
In the blink of an eye, another few days passed.

The time has come to September tenth.

In the early morning, the movie "The Forbidden City" was released. Because of the good publicity in the early stage, the premiere audience on this night was the largest at the same time.

Because it was too late, the better I didn't go to the cinema to watch it, but judging from the online reviews the next day, the movie had a good reputation.

As many people expected.For this movie, apart from 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.

Call it a rare masterpiece of film soundtrack in recent years, and even think that among Lu Haixiang's many works, this one is enough to be ranked in the top ten.

By the next morning, Lu Haixiang's fans were already celebrating.

"Daddy Lu, yyds!"

"Kneel down and call Dad!"

"I don't know if the opponent still has the courage to make moves?"

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

"Whalefall is still too young!"

"Ginger is still old and spicy!"

"..."

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

However, in this world, everything has never been 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 create than ordinary songs, and in the circle, soundtrack masters are naturally more noble than ordinary pop song composers.

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

Actually, it's not just this time facing whale falls.Some of Lu Haixiang's fans had this situation before.

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

Such a good feeling of self made many people feel disgusted. However, this time, even if netizens don't like their attitude, they have to admit this time that Lu Haixiang's soundtrack is really well written.

Coupled with the blessing of the movie's plot, the score of the composition is even higher.

Although they haven't heard Jingluo's soundtrack works, most people don't think his works can be better than "Memories of the Forbidden City".

Such thoughts continued until ten o'clock in the morning.

The promotional video of the Forbidden City has finally been released.

Even knowing that Whale Fall has little hope of winning the opponent.

After discovering that the promotional video was released, many people couldn't resist clicking on the 5-minute video.

Even many people who are still at work can't hold back their curiosity. They secretly wear headphones and watch on their phones on their seats, go to the toilet and squat on the toilet to watch, and use the excuse of smoking to go downstairs to watch, etc.

Within 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, just finished his breakfast at this time, and was going to check the audience's comments on his soundtrack work online.

Although he knows that most people praise him every time, he just likes to see people praise him, especially many young netizens, praise is very interesting.

Probably on Weibo, there was an entry about his soundtrack on the hot search.

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

Has it been released yet?
Lu Haixiang raised his eyebrows, and immediately clicked.

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

Turn on the screen, and at the beginning is a huge phantom accompanied by the sunrise in the east.

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

Following this ethereal sound, the audience seemed to walk into this ancient building as if passing through the film of time.

Afterwards, the picture moves along the white marble stairs, from far to near, knowing that what everyone sees is a huge vermilion gate.

With a huge chime and cymbals ringing crisply, the melody turns from here, bringing out a solemn and majestic momentum.

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

The original version of "Memories of the Forbidden City" was composed by a spiritual thinker, and the main orchestrations in it were all electronically synthesized. Yu Hai personally thinks that the sound of chime bells is more harmonious, natural and thicker, so his version of "Memories of the Forbidden City" basically adopts the It is a recording method of live symphony performances, which made Lao Xu find many musicians to participate.

Yu Hai felt that the version he completed was not inferior to the original version.

Just as he expected, just the sound of this section of the main theme made Lu Haixiang's expression change when he heard this section suddenly.

Without him, chime bells and the Forbidden City are really a perfect match.

Such a majestic and endless voice sounded in such a majestic and magnificent palace, it was really appropriate.

The combination of music and picture complements each other, adding a touch of historical charm to both parties.

Therefore, accompanied by such a grand, thick, dignified, distant, and highly immersive tune, the Forbidden City, one of the crystallizations of Chinese civilization, is displayed in front of all audiences one by one.

People seem to see the rise and fall of civilization for thousands of years through the historical scroll of such magnificent and magnificent buildings.

Then a piece of sad wind music, let people taste the sophistication, kindness and resentment behind such a heavy culture.

The atmosphere is majestic, but there is no lack of ancient rhyme and fragrance.

The non-stop sound of the drum is like beating on the heart of the listener, making one feel like being in a palace on the screen. In addition to the lofty aspirations in the heart, there is also a sense of desolation and vicissitudes. feel.

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

Even as a veteran of playing music, he couldn't help but be awed by such a consistent sense of time and space.

As a soundtrack master, he is most aware of how difficult it is to create such an instrument that perfectly matches the Forbidden City.

It is impossible to rely on a flash of inspiration without sufficient background and strength.

At this moment, the first thought in his mind was, how could a young man like Jingluo be able to write such an ethereal and atmospheric work?
Thinking about it, he immediately realized that his doubts were ridiculous.

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

I envy the other party who can write such wonderful works at such a young age, which makes me feel ashamed.

In the process of listening to a piece of work, Lu Haixiang's thoughts also kept fluctuating with the emotions in the piece, and came one after another.

Regret, annoyance, shame, helplessness, frustration...

The shocking melody he just heard and his confident answer to reporters' questions a few days ago were intertwined in his mind.

After a long time, the video playback ended.

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

Just when his wife walked up to him who was motionless with doubts, he raised his stiff neck and smiled: "Let's go to the Forbidden City to play!"

"Wow!" His wife immediately began to arrange the play plan excitedly.

And Lu Haixiang also let out a breath slowly, picked up the phone he had put down, hesitated for a while, and finally sent a Weibo: "I want to go to the Forbidden City to play."

The comments on this microblog broke through [-] every minute:

"+1"

"+11"

"Let's go together!"

"Go together"

"Tsk tsk tsk, Daddy Qu's way of admitting defeat is really fresh and refined!"

"..."

That's right, Lu Haixiang just surrendered.

He also had to admit defeat.

Even though the time has not yet reached twelve o'clock, and the data on the new song list has not been updated, he is very clear in his heart that the performance of "Memories of the Forbidden City" is definitely not comparable to that of "Memories of the Forbidden City".

Taking the initiative to admit defeat can also reflect his demeanor and principles, and he will lose face if he refuses to admit it.

Netizens did not expect him to admit that he lost to Jingluo so simply.

This made many people feel embarrassed to say what they wanted to slap him in the face and mock him.

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

The aggressive attitude suddenly had no outlet to vent, and many people felt uncomfortable, so they could only shift their targets, and then the promotional effect of the Forbidden City's promotional film exploded directly.

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

"I also want to visit the Forbidden City!"

"Is this the charm of the soundtrack?"

"So powerful!!!"

"..."

This result is something that many people have not thought of 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, what a mistake!"

Although Director Xie was not expecting this ending, he didn't seem worried at all: "Don't worry, it won't affect our box office."

"Won't it affect it?" The producer was a little puzzled.

"The Forbidden City is the filming location of our movie. If the Forbidden City is popular, our movie will naturally go up." Director Xie looked scheming: "It doesn't mean that our movie has lost if the soundtrack is lost. Now our movie's reputation has risen." Now, we can take advantage of this east wind to make further progress."

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

On the other side, Xiang Wen, the director of the promotional film, happily watched the increasing video views, not to mention how excited he was.

He Lianhui, director of the Palace Museum, was also in a happy mood looking at the tickets for the special exhibition that sold out in a short time.

After refreshing the new song list, Yu Hai, who found that he was still No.1, also showed a relaxed smile.

Perhaps in this inexplicable duel, only Lu Haixiang and his fans were unhappy.
