Chime... chimes?!
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. They had never expected Chen Bei to suddenly make such a request.
When Chen Bei said he wanted to do something big, everyone present was wondering, what does it mean to do something big?
Is it the grand choreography? Is it the sweeping narrative style? Or is it that this song isn't just dedicated to Zheng Ying, and Chen Bei wants to invite more singers to perform?
It is actually not difficult to achieve the stage design for large-scale scenes. On a stage like the Spring Festival Gala, there are many programs that require a lot of stage design.
As for the grand narrative style, it may not be feasible. The time for each program of the Spring Festival Gala is limited. It is contradictory in itself to want to highlight the grand narrative style in a leisurely time.
As for inviting more singers to participate, everyone present was impressed and they felt that this was the most feasible option!
Before, they had been thinking about how to write songs for Teacher Zheng Ying and completely ignored this aspect.
This time, An Zhongxu is obviously trying to stir up trouble for the entire Chinese music scene. Why should Teacher Zheng Ying bear such a huge pressure alone?
To be honest, Teacher Zheng Ying is not on the same level as you guys in the Chinese music scene, right?
If I could actually create a song and get a bunch of people to sing together, the pressure would be much less.
But they never expected that the grand scene Chen Bei mentioned actually meant a set of chimes.
The chime bells are a traditional Chinese percussion instrument that originated in the Zhou Dynasty and flourished in the Spring and Autumn Period.
This is a cultural symbol, indicating that the ancestors of the Chinese had created a brilliant civilization thousands of years ago.
In short, when people mention chime bells, there are many words of praise that can be thought of.
But nowadays, how many people can actually use this thing to play music?
In most people's minds, the greatest use of this thing is to put it there for people to appreciate.
After a brief silence, everyone looked at each other.
They had to admit that Chen Bei at least managed to take the initiative.
His request for a set of chime bells really caught everyone off guard.
At this time, where can I get him a set of chimes?
Maybe this thing will be used in some film and television bases and crews, but most of them are imitations.
Not to mention the tone and accuracy, it is not easy to determine the specifications according to historical facts.
Looking at the people with strange expressions, Chen Bei frowned slightly and said:
"What's wrong? Is this difficult?"
Having said that, Chen Bei turned and looked at Zheng Ying. It was understandable that others couldn't solve this problem, but you are the boss of the Central Conservatory of Music, so this shouldn't be difficult, right?
Zheng Ying didn't expect Chen Bei to play so big, but she quickly came to her senses and said with a smile:
"Sure, I happen to know where there's a good quality chime bell. We can borrow it and use it when the time comes. Xiao Chen, please tell us if you have any other requests. We can discuss it here and find a way to satisfy them."
Since Zheng Ying had spoken, Chen Bei didn't hesitate and immediately pointed out some musical instruments he wanted to use.
The imperial capital is worthy of being the imperial capital. There are indeed many talented people here. Even if Chen Bei mentions a less popular instrument, they can find a performer who is proficient in it.
It only took half an hour for Chen Bei to finish expressing his needs.
Everyone looked at the records in their hands, all a little stunned.
Regardless of whether Chen Bei can produce good works this time, the requirements are obviously the standards of industry leaders.
Zheng Hao couldn't understand these things, and he didn't care how big the scene Chen Bei wanted to make. Anyway, as long as the director team approved it, all the expenses would be reimbursed by the Spring Festival Gala program team.
What he cares about more now is when Chen Bei will start composing new songs.
"Excuse me, Mr. Chen, but let me interrupt. When are we going to start composing the new song? As you know, there are less than four days left until the final review. I think we should hurry up!"
"Brother Zheng is right. Time is indeed very tight right now. I'll make it short."
"What is the Spring Festival Gala? Or what is the Spring Festival?"
"I think the Spring Festival is a festival that belongs to us, so we should highlight our own culture. I don't know what the directors were thinking this time. They actually invited a Bang Bang star to perform. It's like being kicked by a donkey!"
After hearing Chen Bei's merciless criticism of the director team, everyone who already had complaints about the director team smiled heartily.
"The Spring Festival is our own festival, and the Spring Festival Gala is our own program. So the programs that appear on this stage must be in line with our own culture."
"I looked up some information before I came here. Our cultural roots are so long-standing, and it's easy to pick out a few points of entry. But I feel it would be a shame to discard others."
"I've thought about it over and over again, and finally decided to bring out all the shining points in the historical landscape and talk about them!"
As Chen Bei said that, he snapped his fingers, and Xiaobai hurried over with a thick document in his hand.
Chen Bei took the documents and began to distribute them:
"This is some information I need to check and confirm. Please share your time and go and confirm it."
"In addition, the stage design, costumes, props, etc. all need to be rearranged. The teachers in this area will take the trouble to review them first, and then we can gradually improve the details."
"Also, the special effects need to be updated. We can't use the previous ones anymore. After we write the song, you guys will have to tear it down and redo it."
When everyone looked at the information distributed to them, many of them became confused.
Look at what is written here, some collection of mythological stories, some historical facts, isn't this nonsense!
Why are you going through all this now if you don't just focus on writing songs?
Just when everyone was puzzled, Chen Bei gave another explanation:
"I've been thinking about it, and since there are so many things I can't discard, I might as well just add them all in!"
Zheng Ying looked at the documents in his hand, tapping his fingers lightly on the table.
After a moment, she put down the information and nodded towards Chen Bei:
"Sure thing, young man! You've really given me a big surprise. If I can really complete this song as you described, I'm sure it will be another great story!"
Everyone looked at each other again. They looked at the documents in their hands, then looked at the two people who were smiling at each other. Everyone was wondering in their hearts, it's just a few documents, and you are so overjoyed?
Zheng Ying didn't care what expressions these people had. In her opinion, most of them were mediocre.
She continued to stare at Chen Bei and said:
"Do you have a general melody in mind? Have you thought about what the song should be called?"
"I've thought about it. I think since we want to explain the many cultural symbols of China, why not call it 'Chronicle of the Gods'?"
