Chapter 212: Admitting defeat

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

It's September 10th.

In the early morning, the movie "Forbidden City" was released. Because of its good early publicity, the premiere of that night was the largest audience.

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

As many people expected, for this movie, besides the plot and actors, the most discussed thing is the soundtrack.

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

The name is "Memories of the Forbidden City".

Everyone has a very high opinion of this work.

It is called a rare masterpiece of film soundtracks in recent years, and even think that among the many works of Lu Haixiang, this one is enough to rank among the top ten.

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

"My dad, yyds!"

"Kneel down and call Dad!"

"Don't you know if your opponent still has the courage to take action?"

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

"Jingluo is still too young!"

"Ginger is still so spicy!"

“…”

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

However, in this world, nothing has never been treated equally.

The same is true for music.

Many people subconsciously think that classicality is more elegant than popular.

Professional singers have a higher status than internet celebrities.

The soundtrack is more difficult to create than ordinary songs, and in the circle, the soundtrack master is naturally more noble than the composer of ordinary pop songs.

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

In fact, this is not just this time facing the Whale Lou. Some of Lu Haixiang's fans have had this situation before.

They seem to be standing at the top of the contempt chain, and often criticize the Internet for being too tacky, not tasteful, or connotative.

This kind of good self-feeling makes many people dislike it. 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.

With the blessing of the movie plot, the rating of the composition is getting higher.

Although I have never heard of Jingluo's soundtrack, most people do not think that his works are better than "Memories of the Forbidden City".

This idea lasted until ten o'clock in the morning.

The promotional video of the Forbidden City was finally released.

Even if you know that the Whale Lou has little hope of winning the other party.

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 cannot help but be curious, secretly putting headphones on their seats and watching on their mobile phones, running to the toilet to watch on the toilet, using the excuse of smoking to watch downstairs, etc.

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, just finished his breakfast at this time and was about to go online to read the audience's evaluation of his musical works.

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

Maybe on Weibo, there are indeed entries about my soundtrack on the hot searches.

Before he could click, he saw a hot search below that attracted him more: the Forbidden City promotional video.

Have you released it?

Lu Haixiang raised his eyebrows and immediately clicked.

Although I don’t think that Jinglu’s soundtrack can compare to myself, people are always curious.

Click on the screen and the beginning is a huge phantom accompanied by the sunrise in the east.

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

Following this ethereal sound, the audience seemed to walk into this ancient building like a film of time.

Then, the picture followed the white marble stairs, from far to near, and knew that what was approaching everyone was a huge vermilion gate.

As a huge chime and cymbals sounded crisply, the melody changed from here, bringing out a solemn and majestic momentum.

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

The original "Memories of the Forbidden City" is composed by Shen Sizhe. The main orchestrators in it are electronically synthesized. Yu Hai personally thinks that the sound of the chimes is more harmonious and naturally heavier. Therefore, his version of "Memories of the Forbidden City" basically uses the recording method of live symphony performances, which allowed Lao Xu to find many musicians to participate.

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

As he expected, just the sound of this main melody made Lu Haixiang, who suddenly heard this part, suddenly changed his color.

Nothing else, the chimes and the Forbidden City are really too compatible.

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

The combination of the song and the picture complements each other, adding a rich historical charm to both sides.

Therefore, with such a grand, thick, solemn, distant and extremely substitutable song, the Forbidden City, one of the crystallizations of Chinese civilization, was displayed one by one before all the audience.

People seem to see the rise, decline, honor and disgrace of civilization for thousands of years through the historical scroll of such magnificent buildings.

Then a sad wind music made people appreciate the human feelings and grievances behind such a profound culture.

Magnificent, and not lacking in ancient charm.

The constant sound of drums is like beating in the heart of the listener, making people feel like they are in the middle of the palaces on the screen. In addition to the ambition and magnanimity in their hearts, they also have a sense of sadness and vicissitudes of change in things and changes in people.

The relaxed expression of Lu Haixiang's face had long disappeared, replaced by a serious and solemn face.

Even as a veteran of music playing, he was involuntarily shocked by such a sense of time and space that would be consistent throughout the song.

As a master of soundtracks, he knew best how difficult it was to create an instrument that would be perfectly adapted to the Forbidden City.

It is not possible to rely on a flash of inspiration alone without sufficient foundation and strength.

At this moment, the first thought in his mind was, how could such a work that was ethereal and grand, be written by a young man like Jingluo?

Then he immediately found that his suspicion was ridiculous.

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

I envy the other person for being so young that he can write such wonderful works that make him feel inferior.

While listening to a work, Lu Haixiang's thoughts also fluctuated and came one after another with the emotions in the song.

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

The shocking melody I just heard and the confident answers I answered when I asked a reporter a few days ago were intertwined in his mind.

After a long time, the video playback ended.

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

Just when his wife walked to him without moving with doubt, he raised his stiff neck and smiled: "Let's go to the Forbidden City to play!"

"Okay!" His wife immediately began to arrange a play plan.

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

This Weibo comment exceeded 10,000 in minutes:

“+1”

“+11”

"Let's go together!"

"Go together and go together"

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

“…”

That's right, Lu Haixiang just gave in.

He had to give in, too.

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 that the results of "Memories of the Forbidden City" are definitely not as good as "Memories of the Forbidden City".
