From wilderness to palace

Chapter 293 Really Thinking Too Much!

As many college professors have said, although they are all experts and professors in the study of classical music in China.But in the face of ancient musical instruments as numerous as stars, how many people can really master several musical instruments proficiently?

What surprised Liu Yaozu even more was that, as one of the indispensable musical instruments for royal ceremonies, the Imperial Conservatory of Music did not have such a large-scale combined instrument as the chime bell.Even when he suggested that chime bells could be considered as musical instruments, these professors were a little confused.

In the eyes of these professors, chime bells are currently regarded as antique instruments and collected.I am afraid that there are not many people who really know how to play this instrument.Even if there is, I'm afraid it can only be found from the private sector.

It’s just that for Liu Yaozu, he has already learned how to play chime bells and felt the unique charm of chime bells by consuming recognition value.Since he had the opportunity to participate in the creation, he definitely wanted to do something different.

Sure enough, after listening to Liu Yaozu's narration and suggestions, Gu Xian quickly said: "Azu, our academy really hasn't done much research on chime bells. As for chime bells, there is a set in the museum, so it shouldn't be difficult to borrow them temporarily. "

"Isn't there a collection of this kind of musical instrument in the college? Since it is the study of classical music, chime bells are one of the indispensable musical instruments for royal ceremonies. Presumably the college also needs to study and even train a few students."

"Azu, do you know how to play chimes?"

"I don't dare to say yes, I can only say that I understand it! In my opinion, since the promotional film is to promote the imperial city, it is undoubtedly more appropriate to use the royal ceremony and music as the promotional film. This can also let foreigners know that we How prosperous the ancient music culture is.”

Having been in contact with Liu Yaozu twice, Gu Xian also knows that this young man is used to being modest.The so-called a little understanding, I am afraid that they understand better than these people.Since he is willing to participate in the creation, and he doesn't think too much about giving any credit, why is he hesitating?

In addition to chime bells, which still need to be contacted before they can be transported to the academy, Liu Yaozu also gave some suggestions on the creation and arrangement of several ancient musical instruments.It involves the guzheng played by Qin Zixuan, and even personally helped Qin Zixuan to perfect the score.

Even if the score is not long, as a professor of classical music, they can feel the charm of this piece from the sound of the piano.But what they really admired was Liu Yaozu's familiarity with ancient musical instruments.

Every one of the ancient musical instruments collected in the studio seemed to be in Liu Yaozu's hands.Seeing this scene, Gu Xian couldn't hide his admiration and said: "Azu, you really don't want to consider coming to our college to be a lecturer?"

"Director Gu, thank you very much, I don't want to do that!"

"That's such a pity! With your knowledge of ancient musical instruments and your talent in creation. If you concentrate on your research, I'm afraid your future will be more promising than old men like us!"

"Thank you! For me, ancient musical instruments and classical music are more of a pastime for Tao Ye's sentiment. If I really put all my energy on it, I'm afraid I will feel boring after 3 minutes of heat. .”

Seeing that Liu Yaozu still persisted, Gu Xian couldn't say much.As for other young people, faced with his invitation, and even the temptation to be rated as an associate professor directly after entering the job, many young people must not be able to resist, right?
But this kind of temptation seems a bit unattractive to Liu Yaozu, who is not short of money and even doesn't want to be famous.To put it simply, if it wasn’t to help his girlfriend and reduce her psychological burden, I’m afraid they might not even come if he wants to invite her!

Not long after, after various consultations, a set of chime bells from the Imperial Capital Museum was collected and soon transported to the Conservatory of Music.Looking at the chime bells being carried down one after another, many teachers and students felt curious and didn't understand what they were doing with them.

At this time, in the creation room, a space was also specially cleared for the placement of this set of chime clocks.Seeing the chime bells being hung one after another, all the professors were also looking forward to the next performance by Liu Yaozu.

Considering that Liu Yaozu is a non-staff creative member, Gu Xian also specially asked people to bring a camera, hoping to take a video of Liu Yaozu striking the chime.If the chime is really feasible, the department will also offer courses on this instrument in the future.

What pleased Gu Xian the most was Liu Yaozu's willingness to cooperate with the recording and even provide some text introductions.From the history of chime bells to other details, it will be provided to the Conservatory of Music in the form of books.

In this case, interested professors can study it in depth and then teach it to their students.From Liu Yaozu's point of view, this is nothing more than spending more recognition points, but it can make the chime bells again visible to the world.

Facing the gazes of all the professors and even the staff of the museum, Liu Yaozu said calmly: "Mr. Xu, when you collected this set of chime bells, didn't you collect the mallet for striking the chime bell?"

"Ah! What is that? Is it made of wood? Without this, can't you play?"

As the curator, I am really reluctant to lend out this set of chime clocks.Although he didn't know why the Conservatory of Music borrowed this.But the person who called him was someone he didn't dare to provoke.

Although he also knows that this chime is a royal instrument.The problem is that there is no one in China who can really play this instrument.But what he didn't expect was that the person recruited by the music academy would be so young.

Seeing this curator, it seemed that he really didn't know that a mallet was needed to strike the chimes, so Liu Yaozu could only ask for wood and process a few mallets himself.Seeing that Liu Yaozu is so proficient in carpentry, many professors were a little dumbfounded.

On the contrary, Qin Zixuan smiled slightly and said, "Teacher, Brother Azu's woodworking skills are superb. The pavilion with double eaves that he built before has been treasured by the Wood Art Museum in the imperial capital."

Facing Qin Zixuan's Versailles, the professors didn't know what to say.Perhaps, as it is said on the Internet, talented people are sometimes so willful.And Liu Yaozu's talent is also beyond their imagination.

After several mallets were made, Liu Yaozu also tried knocking them a few times.The gavel was also refined through the sounds produced by the chimes.It has to be said that this move really impressed all the professors.

Some professors even thought to themselves: "He doesn't accept the director's invitation, maybe he really doesn't like the title of an associate professor lecturer. As far as his theoretical understanding and practical experience of classical musical instruments are concerned, he may be more than enough to be a professor!"

If Liu Yaozu could hear their heartfelt feelings at this moment, maybe he really wanted to say 'you really think too much'.As far as Liu Yaozu's current state is concerned, he enjoys his current lifestyle and environment very much.

If he really accepts the offer from the Conservatory of Music, he will undoubtedly break out of the comfort zone he has created so far.When he chose to go back to his hometown, he wanted to live a life of idleness and wild cranes. Wasn't he accepting the invitation to make it clear that he would suffer?
