Master of Chinese Opera

Chapter 261

Listening, Pu Fanghua couldn't help but shook his head.

"Sister Honghua, Green Flower Lang.

A tent of dried plums, a bed of ivory flowers.

Pillows of mandarin duck flowers are placed on the bed, and mattresses of sweet-scented osmanthus flowers cover the bed. "

This self-questioning and self-answering aria is full of wit and wit, and immediately conquered Pu Fanghua's ears.

Unexpectedly, Boss Shen's Huadan opera also sang so well.

It's so good, the first classic, this record is worth buying.

No wonder it was sold out after only two or three hours of being online.

Throughout China, just like Pu Fanghua did before, there are still many theater fans who want to buy Shen Yuelou's Peking Opera records, and every video store is out of stock.

Even sales of gramophones, which played records, soared.

The previously recorded 100 million records were not enough to sell. He Ling had no choice but to urge the factory to process another 300 million records.

No one expected that Boss Shen's Peking Opera records would create a brand new sales myth under the circumstances that the pop music record market was so sluggish.

Shen Yuelou was naturally very concerned about the sales of her first Peking Opera album.

Shen Yuelou was also full of joy when he learned that the record sales were gratifying and broke many records one after another.

……

After finishing the album release, Shen Yuelou devoted himself to the movie promotion of "The Last Emperor".

After participating in one event after another, I finally waited for the premiere of "The Last Emperor".

On the day of the premiere, the Yanjing Capital Cinema was overcrowded, and reporters from various media and newspapers as well as film critics rushed to the cinema immediately.

As one of the mainstream cultural arts in the world today, film has always had a very significant impact on human cultural life.

And "The Last Emperor" is the movie with the largest investment in China, the hardest production team, and the strongest cast. The industry and ordinary movie fans have high hopes for this movie.

Moody is a senior film critic and a blogger explaining film and television plots on a short video platform.

He has been looking forward to the true appearance of the movie "The Last Emperor" for a long time.

The film director Zhang Cheng's closed-screen work has assembled famous actors from China, Britain, Britain, the United States and other countries. It is also the first film to be shot on-site inside the Forbidden City, a thousand-year-old palace.

Such a movie can already represent the highest level of Chinese movies.

Moody is looking forward to this.

Sitting in my seat in the front row, the movie started to play without waiting for a long time.

There was no character picture at the beginning, but the names of the director, producer, actors, photographers, soundtrack and other staff were first written.

Seeing that Shen Yuelou's name was at the top of the list of composers, Moody couldn't help being very interested.

When the film played the list of these main creators, the soundtrack also sounded immediately.

The opening is a uniform drumbeat plus the melodious and brisk guqin sound...

This sound is too ear-catching, really good, is this Boss Shen's work?

Such a brisk movement is used at the beginning of the chapter, which is both magnificent and interesting, which makes people smile.

Then a long and lingering erhu sound joined in. Against the background of the still lively Chinese drum beats, it was weeping and swaying. It seemed to indicate that as a micro-individual in the flow of history, the protagonist was the last emperor. A life of involuntary destiny.

The sound of silk and bamboo in the latter part is very joyful and colorful, full of oriental sentiment, lively and fragrant, tender and tactful.

The film has not even started yet, but with this theme song alone, it won rounds of applause from the professional movie fans in the cinema.

After a while, the cheerful music was gradually replaced by the roar of the train, and the content of the movie "The Last Emperor" officially started.

The sound of "bang bang bang bang", the black iron train, and the white steam smoke all brought people back to that era at once.

The camera slowly focused on the carriage, and through the window, the audience saw a refined and easy-going face.

Wrinkled gray linen clothes, round glasses, haggard face, vicissitudes of life in the eyes, white hair dotted around the temples, elegant movements, desolate yet dignified demeanor...

Seeing this face, Moody immediately thought of Chai Yuan in history.

Obviously the faces are not very similar, but the temperament of the downcast emperor is really too similar.

Chai Yuan's face flashed past, and the audience quickly followed the camera to see Chinese soldiers standing outside the car window.

More than a dozen Chinese military officers escorted Chai Yuan off the train and brought him into Manzhouli Railway Station.

Seeing many people in the train station come and kneel to Chai Yuan played by Shen Yuelou, Moody can't help lamenting the ignorance of people in that era.

But that is history, and there will always be people who are full of nostalgia for the old times.

Continuing to watch, after those kneeling prisoners were chased away by the guarding Huaxia Army, Chai Yuan talked to the officer, and then entered the bathroom of the Manzhouli Railway Station.

When closing the door, Moody found that the eyes of Chai Yuan, who had been dazed before, suddenly became bright and determined.

No, Chai Yuan is going to commit suicide!

Seeing the change in the eyes of Chai Yuan played by Shen Yuelou, Moody immediately guessed the protagonist's thoughts.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the bathroom, Chai Yuan immediately plugged the door latch, used a mop and a pile of sundries to prop up the toilet door, and turned on the faucet to cover up the noise in the bathroom with the sound of water.

Facing the mirror, Chai Yuan carefully arranged his appearance, which was his last dignity as the last emperor.

He took out a hidden knife from his bosom, cut open the blood vessels on both wrists, endured the pain and stretched his hands into the warm pool, the redness of blood fainted in the pool.

The blood was about to flow dry, and the weak Chai Yuan slightly closed his eyes. Through his eyes, the audience traced back the life of the last emperor.

A certain winter night in the early years of Yanjing.

The porter hurriedly opened the door of the palace, and the captain of the palace guard rode in on a tall horse, followed by a sedan with eight carriages.

"In honor of Cixi Duanyouyi Zhaoyu Zhuang Chengshougong presents the imperial edict of the Holy Mother of Chongxi: Chai Yuan, the son of Prince Chun, lives in the palace to be educated, and studies in the Minister's Study. This is my honor."

When Chai Yuan committed suicide in the bathroom of Manzhouli Railway Station just now, the soundtrack was dominated by grand orchestral music, but when the eunuch in the palace read out the edict, the music suddenly became extremely sad.

The timbre of the erhu is the main tone, mixed with the interludes of the guzheng and pipa. Upon hearing this extremely sad piece, many audience members in the cinema shed tears.

Even Moody held back his tears.

My heart is so sad, the music and the picture are closely connected, is it showing the tragic life of the last emperor Chai Yuan?

Continue reading, the young Chai Yuan was brought into the palace.

Passing through the endless palace walls, Chai Yuan suddenly burst into tears: "I want to go home, I want to be here immediately."

Unfortunately, no one paid attention.

This is his cage, and he has never shaken off this responsibility that does not belong to him in his whole life.
