"Dean Shan, then we..."
Shan Xiang came back to his senses and took the initiative to lead the way: "Teacher Lu Chen, please follow me and I will take you for a walk. However, the Forbidden City is too big, so let's just look at a few key places. What do you think?"
Lu Chen nodded, indicating that it was okay.
"Then let's go together."
Qian Keli and others accompanied him.
A team of seven or eight people boarded a sightseeing bus and set off.
Since we entered from the north gate with less traffic, that is, Shenwu Gate.
So the group started their tour from Shenwu Gate, passing through the Imperial Garden, Kunning Palace, Jiaotai Hall, and Qianqing Palace.
Along the way, Lu Chen received the highest standard of guide treatment, with Shan Xiang personally guiding him and explaining the relevant history and cultural heritage to him.
Lu Chen was not idle either. He picked up the shorthand notebook and took notes while occasionally asking a few interesting questions to verify with Shan Xiang.
This surprised Shan Xiang a little. He didn't expect that Lu Chen, a young man, was quite knowledgeable about the history of the Forbidden City.
This also gave him more confidence, which was originally not strong.
Several people came to Baohedian.
Lu Chen suddenly asked: "Dean Shan, I remember there is a Nine Dragon Wall in the Forbidden City. Where is it exactly?"
"The Nine Dragon Wall is outside the Huangji Gate in the Ningshou Palace area." As he said this, Shan Xiang directed the driver to the location of the Nine Dragon Wall.
When seeing the bright and brilliant Nine Dragon Wall, Lu Chen couldn't help but sigh at the passage of time.
The colored glaze on this tile can be said to record hundreds of years of glory, disgrace, rise and fall.
A sense of history arises spontaneously.
Afterwards, they went to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, which was a must-visit.
Frankly speaking, no matter how well the modeling scenes in the TV series are made, they are not even one-tenth as stunning as the real Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Since the Hall of Supreme Harmony is open to the public, it is inevitable to encounter tourists.
So Lu Chen put on a mask in advance.
But even though he wore a mask, there were still people around him who recognized him.
…
"Hey, this handsome guy looks like Lu Chen?"
“Yeah, I feel like that too.”
"Oh my god, isn't that Dean Shan? Why is he personally serving as a guide? Who is this handsome guy?!"
“Oh my god, could he really be Lu Chen?!”
"It's really him! Why is he here in Sijiu City?"
"Lu Chen, Lu Chen!"
"Big star! Big star!"
…
For a moment, the entire Hall of Supreme Harmony went crazy!
At least three-quarters of them recognized Lu Chen, and the age range was extremely wide, even a few old ladies came up.
Fortunately, the security personnel formed a human wall in time to prevent anyone from rushing over.
Seeing this, Lu Chen, who had no time to sit on the dragon chair, could only wave to his fans and leave in a hurry.
“Ah!! It’s really Lu Chen! It’s really Lu Chen!”
The Hall of Supreme Harmony screamed.
Dozens of mobile phones were busy taking photos and videos.
In the era of self-media.
The news that Lu Chen visited the Forbidden City and was personally accompanied by Dean Shan spread on Douyin like a torrent in an instant.
Soon, it went viral on the Internet! You know, apart from concerts, Lu Chen almost disappeared from the world on weekdays, with no news about him at all.
The last time he appeared in public was during an interview with CCTV.
But today, he unexpectedly appeared in the Forbidden City!
The dean accompanied him personally!
Even a fool can see that this is definitely not a simple matter! For a time, the comments section was full of different opinions!
The popularity is off the charts!
Although Lu Chen never pursues traffic, it is indisputable that the traffic is always in his hands!
It was so before, and it is even more so now!
…
A moment later, Zhao Ling, who was far away in Hangzhou, was pushed relevant information by big data as soon as she opened Douyin.
"What! He went to the Forbidden City? And he was accompanied by the dean. What on earth was he doing?"
Zhao Ling was shocked when she saw the news!
What the hell is going on here? "Bang!"
At this time, the door opened.
Feng Nan rushed in: "Boss Zhao, Brother Lu went to the Forbidden City! Did you know?"
Zhao Ling flipped over her phone and said, "It's already been received."
Feng Nan: "No, why did he suddenly go there?"
Zhao Ling said unhappily, "If you ask me, who should I ask?"
The two looked at each other and their hearts skipped a beat: "Could it be that Lu Chen is cooperating with that team?!"
Just as she finished speaking, Zhao Ling's phone rang. It was Su Siyu calling. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but it seemed that Su Siyu's ringtone today was more urgent than usual...
…
And here, after visiting the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Shan Xiang took Lu Chen to several other attractions.
After spending more than an hour, the group finally completed a quick tour of the Forbidden City.
Afterwards, he returned to the office.
Shan Xiang asked: "Teacher Lu Chen, how do you feel? Did you gain anything?"
Lu Chen nodded: "Dean Shan, please give me a quiet room and give me about half an hour to forty minutes."
Hearing this number, Shan Xiang was shocked. He thought that he had almost finished writing the song today! He never expected that Lu Chen would say that it would only take half an hour to forty minutes! "So fast!!!!"
Upon hearing this, Qian Keli quickly said, "What are you still standing there for, Lao Dan? Why don't you find a quiet room?"
Shan Xiang came back to his senses: "Oh, no need to look for it, there is a small courtyard behind here, and there is an empty study room inside, I'll take you there!"
The winding path leads to a secluded place.
The small courtyard behind the office is backed by Dragon City and is a unique world.
Lu Chen nodded, this place is nice.
"Teacher Lu Chen, shall I have someone make you a cup of tea and send you some snacks?"
"No need, Dean Shan. I don't eat when I'm writing."
The group looked at each other, and felt that Lu Chen seemed to be serious!
Exit the courtyard and close the door.
The group retreated back to the office.
Old Dan was still a little worried and said, "Old Qian, do you think it can be done? Of course I'm not saying that I don't trust Lu Chen, it's just that it's too fast! I thought half a day was exaggerated enough, but he said it would only take half an hour to forty minutes?! This..."
"Yeah yeah."
The entourage around him also nodded frequently.
This is the theme song for the Forbidden City.
Can such a high-demand theme song really be completed in just half an hour? Before Lu Chen, they had invited other songwriters, but the responses they received said that it would take at least one or two months, and at most half a year or a year! As a result, Lu Chen was now exaggerating...
Qian Keli laughed: "Okay, old Dan, everyone is here, why rush? You don't know him. If he dares to say that, he must have his reasons."
"But……"
Shan Xiang's words came to his lips, but he thought about it and swallowed them back.
At this point, this is all we can do.
As the old saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Shan Xiang now just hopes that these words will not come true.
The group then started chatting in the office, waiting for good news from Lu Chen.
But during the chat, the group of people didn't pay much attention and looked towards the courtyard from time to time.
Even though Qian Keli said he was relaxed, his heart was actually in his throat.
If Lu Chen performs poorly today.
He didn't know how to explain it.
Not only could he not explain to Lao Dan, he also couldn't explain to Lu Chen.
In this way, time passed by minute by minute.
The atmosphere in the office became more and more tense. In the end, no one pretended to chat anymore and the office became completely silent.
There was only the sound of footsteps and heartbeats, one after another.
…
The other side.
Blue and White Entertainment.
Su Siyu, who had sent messages and made phone calls but received no responses, took a deep breath, stood up from her chair, picked up her bag and ran out.
I just happened to run into Shen Mengqiu.
"Hey, where are you going, Siyu? Why are you in such a hurry?"
"To the Forbidden City."
"Why are you going to the Forbidden City all of a sudden?"
"Looking for Lu Chen!"
Shen Mengqiu: “…”
I realized it belatedly and was shocked.
What, Lu Chen came to Sijiu City? ! ! I thought about it later.
Oh my god!
These ladies are so direct now?!
…
In the office.
Shan Xiang paced back and forth, looking at his watch from time to time.
It was almost forty minutes, but there was still no movement in the courtyard.
"Old Dan, you're done. Sit down for a while. You've been walking back and forth for a long time."
Qian Keli was speechless.
Shan Xiang smiled awkwardly, then sat down and said after a moment's hesitation, "Old Qian, I have an idea in my mind, but I don't know if I should say it."
"Tell me, there is nothing you can't tell me."
"It's like this. No matter what, I'm really happy and grateful that Lu Chen can come today. So my idea is that no matter what the quality of the work is, I will say yes on the surface. When Lu Chen goes back, I will tell you my true thoughts in private. If it doesn't meet the requirements, I may have to trouble you to talk to him on my behalf. Of course, we will definitely pay for this trip."
Qian Keli laughed when he heard this, but after thinking about it carefully, it was indeed a solution that would not hurt the relationship.
"Old Dan, are you so unsure about Lu Chen?"
Shan Xiang smiled bitterly: "It's not that I don't have confidence, it's the speed of creation... you know, it's really too fast! You want me to say that I am confident, but I can't lie to myself."
Shan Xiang said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
Qian Keli smiled and said, "Okay, I understand. I'll do as you say."
The two were talking.
The courtyard door suddenly opened.
Lu Chen walked towards the office with a piece of paper in his hand.
“Here it comes!”
In an instant, everyone in the office stood up.
"Teacher Lu Chen, have you finished writing?"
Shan Xiang stepped forward and asked.
"Well, I've finished writing it. Although it took some time to revise it, overall, the effect should be pretty good. Please have a look, Dean Shan."
Lu Chen handed over the paper.
"Quick, bring me my reading glasses."
Shan Xiang quickly greeted him.
Qian Keli also took out his reading glasses from his watch pocket and put them on.
A group of people gathered behind him.
"Go, go, let's take a look first!"
Shan Xiang waved the man away.
"Director, would you like to read it to us? We also want to know what Teacher Lu Chen wrote."
"Yes, Director."
A group of people requested.
Shan Xiang thought about it and felt that it made sense. They all had to see it anyway, so he couldn't hide it.
He simply handed the simple musical notation to Qian Keli: "Old Qian, you read it out. You are an expert and can read it more accurately than me."
Qian Keli took the simple score and said, "Okay, I'll read it."
Lu Chen sat on the sofa, watching these people prick up their ears and sit upright, and he felt that the scene was a little awkward...
Qian Keli looked up and said, "The song is called "Dragon Scales of Heaven and Earth"!"
"'Dragon Scales of Heaven and Earth'?"
Just listen to the song title.
Everyone's eyes narrowed almost subconsciously.
Although the Forbidden City was not mentioned directly.
But use dragon scales as the entry point.
Still very sharp and accurate! The idea is eye-catching! Because dragon scales clearly refer to national dignity and the glory of a great country!
Add the words heaven and earth! After savoring it for the second time.
Just the title of the song makes people feel majestic! It's like the roar of a dragon from the East, rushing towards you!
“What a great song title!”
Shan Xiang nodded secretly to show that he liked it.
At least he liked the song title.
This is the tune he wanted!
