Chapter 361

The last ad is out.

All over the country, and even in the homes of some overseas Chinese who can watch satellite TV, countless people have already sat firmly on the sofa in front of the TV, locked on a set of programs of China TV, and are waiting for this moment.

Right now, at 8:037 p.m. on June 29, 1998.

On the TV screen, the opening animation of the TV drama production center of Huaxia TV station appeared.

Then, very abruptly, the horn sounded suddenly.

On the screen, smoke and dust filled the entire TV screen, and it was an ancient army marching.

Accompanied by the sound of armor clashing, and the sound of orderly but slightly chaotic footsteps.

The second horn sounded.

With a shout of unison, the screen on the TV screen turned, and the soldiers lined up in a line that could hardly be seen at a glance.

Accompanied by this shout, the armor collided with a clang.

The screen turned again, flags and flags were sheltered, and the cavalry surged.

The flags opened and the drums sounded.

A big shirtless man stood on the high platform, his muscles were knotted, and he was struggling to beat the drum.

Shocking shouts came and went, and on the screen, ladders to siege the city were erected one after another.

The horn sounded again.

This is the third sound.

Shouts gradually enveloped the living rooms of more than half of the homes in China.

The soldiers stepped on the siege ladder and tried their best to climb towards the top of the city, but they were covered by dense rain of arrows. On the TV screen, many soldiers screamed and fell down. However, when the screen changed, many people still climbed to the top of the city. head.

Swords and guns intersect, and chaos begins.

At this time, the cutting and transition of the camera suddenly accelerated, and besides the sound of drums and shouts, music began to join.

This is an orchestra.

On the screen, a group of galloping cavalry suddenly plunged into a horse pit.

On the screen, two generals collided with each other, and when two loud shouts sounded, the weapons clashed clangingly.

The snare drum joins in, and the drums sound heavy.

In the rear view, a group of well-armored generals stand under the flag, their horses are moving. In the distance from their sight, there is a scene of fighting on the battlefield, with smoke and dust rising and pools of blood everywhere.

The wind rolled the battle flag, the night was dark, the fire suddenly lit up, and then the camera moved, it was a raging fire that covered the sky and the sun.

People were fighting, shouting, and war horses roared.

The camera turned again, and this time what was burning were large wooden boats, and countless soldiers screamed and jumped into the river with the flames on their bodies.

Suddenly, the world was silent.

What a big expanse of white snow.

The sound of the hole flute whimpered and whimpered, as if it came from far away.

Three men in snow furs, each leading a horse, are slowly climbing the mountain.

The camera kept chasing their backs, and saw the leader stop and look up. Between the sky and the earth, there is nothing but a wild, and at the end of the line of sight, there seems to be a grassy dew on the hillside, deep and quiet.

The camera cuts, and the sound of the zither suddenly sounds.

The aura of killing filled the air again.

On the TV screen, under a dangerous mountain pass, hundreds of torches lit up the sky and the earth, and the two generals shouted and fought together.

Drums, accompanied by zither sounds.

One stared angrily, and the other frowned.

The screen turns again.

Before the formation of thousands of troops and horses, one person galloped forward.

The horses are scarlet warhorses, and the people are dressed in green robes.

At the head of the formation, a general in armor got on his horse, ready to meet the enemy.

At this time, a pair of Danfeng eyes that had been squinting in the picture suddenly opened.

In the next scene, Qinglong Yanyue Dao slashed down vigorously.

The turbulent river surged in, submerging everything in an instant.

The sound of wind, drums, and strings all merged at this moment.

On the screen, a piece of white waves hit the muddy.

The sound of music gradually took center stage, or rather, the orchestra took center stage.

However, soon there was only one sound of Guzheng left.

On the screen, the four square official script characters of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" appear on the spray stroke by stroke in the way of writing.

Original work: Luo Guanzhong.

…………

Just the picture and soundtrack of the first minute or so has already amazed countless viewers in front of the TV.

Three Kingdoms.

This is the Three Kingdoms!

In other words, the Three Kingdoms should have this flavor!

Gold and iron horses, heroes.

At this moment, just over a minute has passed, almost all the viewers sitting in front of the TV at the moment, whether you are a teenage middle school student, a university professor, or a worker, a farmer, or an urban white-collar worker, feel deeply in their hearts. I couldn't help but feel an indescribable feeling in an instant.

Although it is only a title, it seems to pull people into the long history all of a sudden!

What follows is a 92-episode journey through the Three Kingdoms.

It was also at this moment that countless professionals in the music circle sitting in front of the TV nodded subconsciously—it was just an opening soundtrack, and it might not be able to say "excellent" or "amazing" Ah or something, but at least, you have to admit, he's doing a good job!

A few simple traditional musical instruments—drums, zithers, and flutes, paired with human voices from the original TV footage, supplemented by orchestral music, the soundtrack at the beginning of this minute is clean and free, but it conveys people’s understanding of the "Three Kingdoms" "The expectation of these two words is given, and the atmosphere is rendered very well, enough to make the audience start to look forward to the content after watching this episode-the soundtrack of film and television dramas, of course, is another creation outside the camera, But in the final analysis, this kind of soundtrack must serve the content of the film and television itself, so the fit, just right, has already met the standard.

The soundtrack that will give all the audience the first impression in this minute, it won't be praised to the sky, but at least, it is qualified! It's even quite pretty!

…………

Subtitles fade away.

With a kneading of the zither, a thick baritone sounded——

"Rolling in the east of the Yangtze River,

The waves scour the heroes.

..."

In front of the TV, many people's eyes lit up.

For the vast majority of ordinary viewers, it is naturally impossible to know in advance what the theme song of the TV series is before the TV series starts broadcasting. However, for many well-informed industry insiders, Li Qian chose an ancient poem to The matter of composing music cannot be completely said to be a secret, at least in a small area, there are still quite a few people who know about it.

It's just that, that's all they can know, not to mention the deeper situation, they don't even know which poem Li Qian chose - of course, in many people's guesses, Yang Shen's poem was originally The word that appeared at the beginning of the original work must be the object of the main suspicion.

But now, "Sure enough, it's this song!" At this moment, countless experts said in their hearts.

However, it's useless to know that it's the lyrics. What really catches the eye is this piece of music.

Classical style of music, written in an atmospheric and steady way, coupled with this baritone... Whether you admit it or not, you can only nod again, admitting that this song is great-whether you choose the opening words of the original work, or The idea of ​​composing the music, as well as the final style of the music, to the selection of singers and voices, and even to this kind of arrangement that is mainly composed of pipa and supplemented by orchestral music, well, it’s still the same sentence, "He did It's beautiful!"

For ordinary audiences, they will only feel that the opening title is very catchy and fits their imagination of the two characters "Three Kingdoms", and they will also feel that the theme song is very pleasant, with a baritone voice and classical lyrics. The song is beautiful and it fits well! But in the eyes of an insider, I have to admit that whether it is the important soundtrack at the beginning or the current theme song, Li Qian's ability to achieve this level is already beyond reproach.

Because if you come here, few people can confidently say: I will do better than him!

Yes, the soundtrack is awesome!

Yes, the theme song is even better!

At this moment, even those who were worried and questioned Li Qian's responsibility for the soundtrack of this TV series had to sigh: Well, from this level, um, I didn't make a fool of myself!

What's more, this theme song will definitely become a classic for a generation!

As for some people who were very dissatisfied with Li Qian's leading the soundtrack of this film before, at this time, they can only mutter a few times in secret. At least, even if they are still dissatisfied in their hearts, they understand that their dissatisfaction is already inconvenient. Any outsider has expressed it-you still don't accept it? Unless your past achievements have reached a certain level, otherwise, it is just ridiculous.

What can I say about this sound and this painting?

…………

"Success or failure turns to nothing,

The green hills are still there,

Several times the sunset is red.

White-haired fishermen and woodcutters on the river,

I am used to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze,

A jug of turbid wine is happy to meet,

How many things have happened in ancient and modern times,

It's all a joke.

..."

In the living room, Xie Mingyuan approached with a smile and asked, "Dad, how do you feel?"

Mr. Xie Jinshun sighed, nodded, but did not speak.

But Xie Mingyuan was not in a hurry, just continued to look at him with a warm smile on his face.

After a while, the opening title had been completely played, and the TV screen went dark, revealing the words "Episode 1", so he turned his body sideways and said slowly, "It's very suitable."

Xie Mingyuan thought for a while, then smiled slowly.

Yes, it fits.

Whether it's lyrics, music, or singing, it is suitable for the soundtrack and theme song of TV dramas, and it is actually the highest evaluation, isn't it?

…………

A short narration introduction, in just over a minute, quickly outlined the political situation of the entire Eastern Han Dynasty before Emperor Huanling. Then, the Yellow Turban Uprising began, and with the appearance of Liu Guanzhang, the TV series soon Entered the real drama.

At this time, most of the viewers are of course starting to enjoy TV dramas, but on the Internet forums, it suddenly became lively——

Posts with the keyword "very nice" are really unprofessional, and they are what everyone would say, so even though such posts appear one by one within a few minutes, swiping the screen quickly captured the entire Forum, but at best it gets a few emotional top posts, it is impossible to get too much attention, and it must be some slightly technical posts that can really attract everyone's attention and a lot of replies.

Everyone knows that it sounds good. After listening to it, everyone said that this song is very good, but it is not something that just anyone can say.

Thus, technology emperors and professional emperors appeared.

"Let's talk about the soundtrack at the beginning of the chapter. I estimated it to be about one minute and five seconds. This piece of soundtrack is actually very simple when you first hear it. It's just that the scenes are interspersed with drums, vocals, Xiao, zither, etc., plus a piece of majestic orchestral music, will do, but it is not. Its logical thinking is very particular.

Specifically, it is divided into four sections: the first section, pure vocals plus drums, ends with an orchestra cut in, which represents the beginning of the second section, and starts from the scene that should obviously be the scene of three visits to thatched cottage. The single flute sound is the third section, until the guzheng enters, the rhythm changes, until the opening subtitles appear, which is the fourth section. In simple terms, the most traditional four-paragraph method of a novel: start, inherit, transfer, and combine.

Not only is this piece of music itself extremely tense, but it also highlights the importance of this 'turn', that is, the importance of Sangu Maolu to the entire Three Kingdoms. This soundtrack, and the opening edit, simply complement each other, a perfect match! Next, let me analyze the subtleties of each section in detail..."

The number of posts downstairs is increasing rapidly at a rate of dozens per minute——

"Damn it, let the landlord say that, I really feel that I am a lot taller!"

"Like, wait for the host to broadcast live, and comment on the theme song! What's it called? I listened to it, but didn't pay attention to the subtitles. Is it called 'Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water'?"

"Produced by the leader, it must be a high-quality product!"

"Go back to the fourth floor, it's called Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water."

"It's so long! But I finished reading it!"

"Actually, what I admire most is the landlord's typing speed. It's only a few minutes, so many words, yet so professional..."

…………

In fact, to be honest, the first episode of Romance of the Three Kingdoms is not very attractive. Moreover, no matter who changes the filming, it can only be like this-the story is certain, must, and must be the three knots in Taoyuan, and this story, to be honest, is not easy to spread out, because for the What everyone knows, if you spread it out, it will inevitably give people a feeling of procrastination.

Therefore, the first episode has to be sworn brothers, but the statement in the original book that Liu Bei's real dragon possessed the body and pulled away the two tigers is really too unreliable.

But fortunately, the screenwriter made some adaptations to this scene. When Guan Yu and Zhang Fei fought, Liu Bei didn't go up to fight, but said a loud rebuke but very forceful words, "So Heroes, instead of serving the country, fight privately on the streets, what a pity, what a pity!"—Although this may not be reasonable enough in fact, it is much more reasonable than Guan Zhang, the two fierce men who were separated abruptly by Liu Bei , So, Guan and Zhang were attracted by his words, and they stopped fighting because of this, and the story of Liu, Guan and Zhang unfolded from this.

Then, when Liu Bei sold enough of his power and tears, the three decided to become sworn brothers and conspire for a great cause together.

At this point in the plot, in front of the TV, the eyes of many professional musicians lit up quickly—as the beginning of the entire Three Kingdoms story, it is really unreasonable not to have a soundtrack here!

***

Well, I admit that I was arrogant yesterday. In terms of my personality and my age as a thirty-year-old man, it is a bit depreciated... But, really, when I saw the book review section at the time, it was really Feeling a basin of cold water in the head, all the interest and fighting spirit are gone at once, just sitting there sulking, unable to write a word.

However, fortunately, you are always willing to stand up and encourage me when I am hit. This really makes me feel a kind of "I am finishing this book with you".

Brothers, thank you!

In addition, I would like to sincerely thank you brother "You are not tired of me and never leave" for your reward. Your lord Jiageng will give it in the next few days!

I have to say, it's really exciting to be a big hit at this time!
