Applause broke out at the scene, and Yang Xiuxiu and others followed suit.

Liu Xin took out her mobile phone, shot a video and sent it to her close friends group.

Lv Hui and Hou Xiaobing, who were far away in two other cities, also posted screenshots of the live broadcast, indicating that they were also following the performance.

The live broadcast footage gave a panoramic view when the audience was applauding, and then cut to a close-up, with the camera sweeping over the band members.

Lu Qingfeng was wearing a very formal neckline dress today to match the band's outfit.

This type of dress is also known as a prince-style dress, and its cut and design are slim and elegant.

The side-slicked hairstyle reveals delicate facial features.

He was standing to the right of the conductor, his face tense, and he didn't even notice the camera passing by.

"The tension is visible to the naked eye."

"I'd be nervous too. It's such a big event, and it's the opening ceremony itself. I'm sure there's going to be a lot of pressure."

"Come on, little deer!"

……

The audience in the live broadcast room could see the boy’s mood from the picture.

All the musicians sat down in their respective seats, and after a brief adjustment, the concert hall became quiet.

I don’t know if it’s affected by the atmosphere, but there are fewer comments in the live broadcast room.

People at the scene couldn’t see it, but the performance repertoire appeared on the screen in the live broadcast room.

Memories of the Forbidden City

Yang Xiuxiu and others sitting in the back row put down their phones and focused their attention.

The conductor raised his hands and everyone in the orchestra looked at him.

The light baton drew an arc in the air.

Boom~!

A heavy bell rang, and the echoing bell spread out in circles.

It's like opening a vast door to history.

The bell rang slowly, and when it was about to end, the sound of chimes rang out.

This ancient musical instrument, which first emerged during the Zhou Dynasty, is made of bronze.

As a representative of Chinese gold musical instruments, the chimes have a wide range of tones, and the chimes of different sizes and flat shapes can produce multiple pitches.

The bass is majestic and loud, and the treble is clear and penetrating.

At this moment, under the beating of the musicians, the sound is like falling raindrops.

The melodious sound of the xylophone interspersed in it seemed that people could see the palace in the drizzle.

The singer's ethereal voice interweaves with the two instruments to create a layered sense of melody.

It creates an atmosphere of sedimentation and tranquility, which at this moment symbolizes the 600-year history of the Forbidden City.

The melody continues to progress, becoming clearer and clearer to the audience's ears.

At the 35th second, the addition of new tones and the changes in the strength of the melody begin to construct a sense of time and space travel in the historical scene.

"good."

"It feels great."

The comments in the live broadcast room were quite satisfied with the beginning of this segment.

"It just feels a little inadequate as an opening song."

Some people are more strict, or just tend to find fault.

"Don't worry, this is just the beginning."

The words had just fallen.

The rhythm of the melody changes.

The conductor raised the stick in his hand, and Lu Qingfeng, the principal, raised his bow and led the string section musicians to precisely blend into the melody.

After a connecting section of notes is played that elevates the melody and the mood.

The dense drum beats were like a solemn ceremony, slowly pushing open the gate of the Forbidden City.

The sun and the moon are shining, and the country is bright.

Traditional instruments such as gongs, drums, and chimes suddenly burst out and become the main body of the melody.

Magnificent, glorious, and magnificent!

The depth of history has a concrete picture at this moment.

The concert hall's ultimate audio-visual and sound effects give the audience an unparalleled experience.

Yang Xiuxiu and the others didn't know what others were thinking, but they were extremely excited.

They have always been confident about what kind of performance Lu Qingfeng can produce.

Yang Xiuxiu witnessed the boy's journey to where he is today.

Liu Xin and others know how much effort their friends have put into this performance.

But even though my expectations were high, I still got goosebumps the moment this melody sounded.

The live broadcast room was instantly covered with barrages.

"I'm going to kneel down."

"Shh, hearing the epic of a dynasty, the vast mountains and rivers, the great nation, the tributes from all nations, it's so shocking!"

"The one who said earlier that he wasn't qualified to play the opening song, please speak up."

"I admit I was a little too loud before. Give me a chance."

"Wang Xiaoyan, I know you're watching too. This is the kingdom I've built for you."

"It definitely sounds like he's about to ascend the throne."

"Let me go, I want to walk on my own."

Memories of the Forbidden City, The End of the Forbidden City, and The Decline of the Forbidden City

Known as the Forbidden City Trilogy, it is the background music composed by Japanese composer SENS for the NHK TV documentary "The Forbidden City".

The majestic style of this music has been quoted many times by many domestic TV stations.

It’s even used in advertising.

Later, as short videos became popular, they spread more and more widely, and more and more people knew this melody.

However, most people have only heard of "Memories of the Forbidden City" and may not have heard the last two songs.

When Lu Qingfeng learned about this event, the first thing that came to his mind was this piece of music.

The theme and tonality of its melody can be said to be tailor-made.

However, SENS, also known as Shen Si Zhe in China, is a music group that excels in electronic music.

A lot of electronic sound effects are also added to this work.

The effect is naturally outstanding, but it is not suitable for orchestral performance.

So based on the original song, he replaced many sound effects with traditional instruments and strengthened the use of classical instruments.

Certain adaptations have been made without compromising the style of the original song.

The show goes on.

After the initial astonishment, the audience listened quietly with appreciation.

Lu Qingfeng led the string and woodwind groups to alternate and echo each other's harmonies, building the flesh and blood of the music around the melodic skeleton.

With traditional oriental instruments such as the guzheng, erhu, and chimes as the core, the elegant music style of historical dynasties has been created, retaining the graceful and melodious style of oriental music.

Western instruments such as violin, cello and trombone serve as background music, increasing the spatiality and narrative sense of the melody.

A grand symphonic structure.

Music, as a language, blends the East and the West in a way that allows us to present a magnificent historical picture in front of this group of audiences from all over the world.
