Chapter 1245 "Forbidden City Trilogy"

"Wang Jun, your new album is simply amazing!" Shen Long received a call from Kitaro just after the album was released, and spoke highly of his album.

"There, there, Mr. Kitaro, you are so kind. I was also inspired by you to become very interested in the new age music style, and this piece of "Reminiscences of the Forbidden City" came about." Shen Long's face is getting more and more serious now It's getting thicker and thicker, and when it comes to these hypocritical words, it's just a set pattern.

Yes, the album he is presenting now is the only New Age music group in the Japanese music world after Kitaro in the future - Shen Si Zhe. The first "Reminiscences of the Forbidden City".

New Age, also known as New Age Music, also translated as New Age Music, is a music form between electronic music and classical music; it is a brand-new music model born more than ten years ago. Yu Chang is different from any previous music. It does not refer to a single category, but a category. All improved music that is different from the past, symbolizes the change of the times, and interprets the spiritual connotation can be included in it, so it is named New Age.

Its characteristics are: most of them rarely have a strong rhythm, few stimulating and short sounds, close to light music, and often use vocal chorus and homophony in music.

Compared with the previous musicians, the creators of New Age music no longer pursue to use music to describe any image, but to express feelings, the feeling of snowflakes falling and touching the ground in a quiet night; the dryness of the breeze blowing through the sedge The feeling of breathing; the feeling of the creases of lightning in the distant sky; the feeling of the lake water beating against the shore in the evening...

This style has gradually flourished with the passage of time, and a large number of world-renowned musicians have emerged, such as Kitaro, Yani, Enya, Sarah Brightman, Secret Garden, Bandari, Matthew Lane, Hisaishi Joe, Sojiro, etc. ; In China, there are also New Age supporters such as Zhu Zheqin and Sa Dingding.

As one of the first group of musicians known for their New Age style, Kitaro was naturally overjoyed when he heard that Shen Long had released a New Age style album with such high quality.

He said on the phone that he still didn't think it was enough, so he put down the phone and hurried to Shen Long's house, insisting on enjoying the album with him. In the audio-visual room of Shen Long's villa, Shen Long accompanied Kitaro to listen to the album .

With the ups and downs of historical narratives, the rhythm is constantly changing. The low-pitched percussion seems to ring the big bell of the Yongle Dynasty. The solemn hall covered by the glazed tiles of the Forbidden City represents the magnificence and splendor of the civilized country they yearn for in their hearts; A dreamlike and magical trip is also like a large-scale epic movie. The ancient and magnificent scenery is passing by, and the pictures of profound civilization are transformed into notes one by one to show; Hua, with a hint of sadness and a little helplessness, the music gradually faded away.

In this album, there are sighs for the past history, admiration for countless craftsmen who have worked hard to create treasures, the majesty of the world, the sadness of time, and the vicissitudes of life; The revival of dreams, the hope of being rekindled after being reborn from the ashes...

Using piano, erhu, electric guitar, fine brass pipes and even chime bells and other advanced and ancient musical instruments, East and West are mixed together. In one album, the history of the Forbidden City is fully expressed. People can learn from this album. See the past and present of the Forbidden City, and even the history and future of China...

"With this album,

Blessed are the music lovers who love New Age, there is another New Age master from the East in the world music scene! "Although I have listened to it many times at home, Kitaro is still very moved and admired after listening to it, "My lord, I will write a review article as soon as I go back and publish it in the most authoritative music magazine. Many people hear your music! Hear the millennium echoes from the Forbidden City. "

"That's really troublesome for you!" Shen Long already had a good reputation in the classical music circle before, but he is still a newcomer in the New Age circle. Sales will definitely go up a lot, right? Shen Long was very grateful for this.

"No trouble, let people who like my music hear good music, this is my return to them!" Kitaro suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked quickly, "However, I always feel that you didn't tell all the stories about the Forbidden City. I put all my emotions and feelings into this album, will there be a sequel in the future?"

"As expected of Mr. Kitaro, it is true. According to my plan, this series will be divided into three parts. "Reminiscences of the Forbidden City" is the first part, and the second part will be "The Face of the Forbidden City". The name of the third part It's called "Tracing the Origin of the Forbidden City." There are three parts in the Forbidden City series of Shensi Zhe, and since the first one has been copied, the next two will definitely not be missed.

"If that's the case, I think they will definitely come to you. They have long wanted to make a documentary about the Forbidden City. These songs of yours are tailor-made for them." Kitaro nodded and said.

Of course, this was originally the soundtrack of the TV documentary "Forbidden City"; Hey, it seems that since I arrived in New York, it has become more and more popular in Japan.

But think about it. There are differences between Eastern and Western cultures after all. Americans’ sense of identity with traditional Eastern culture is far less strong than that of Japanese. It is normal for such a situation to occur.

However, this does not mean that Shen Long is willing to continue this situation. His efforts in the past few years have cultivated a large number of music fans. He only needs to wait for a suitable opportunity to trigger an upsurge in oriental culture; Remembrance is one of them, and the other will wait until after The Last Emperor is released.

After being recommended by Kitaro, "Remembrance of the Forbidden City" triggered crazy purchases by New Age fans, and it also spread to the ears of other well-known New Age musicians. After they bought this album, they also praised Shen Long. Appreciate it, and regard it as a new master figure in the field of New Age music.

And when the sales volume of "Remembrance of the Forbidden City" is getting higher and higher, Bernardo Bertolucci also completed the post-production work of "The Last Emperor", and the distribution company has also arranged the schedule and prepared the promotional activities in advance , can be officially released.

On the day of the premiere, Shen Long took Guo Yan to the premiere site, preparing to attend the premiere ceremony.
