"Teacher Li, regarding the arrangement of the Spring Festival Gala program, I think the music of "Memories of the Forbidden City" is very good. When I listened to your album before, I thought this song was very good and magnificent!"

When Zhao heard that Director Zhao wanted Li Yange to perform the music "Remembrance of the Forbidden City" on the Spring Festival Gala, Zhao Zhongyang shook his head and said, "Is "Remembrance of the Forbidden City" a little too much? I think the Spring Festival Gala should be a little more festive."

"It's true that you are more festive, but there are not so many things to pay attention to in music. Otherwise, everyone will sing songs related to the New Year." This year is the first time director Zhao directed the Spring Festival Gala to hold the work, so deep down he naturally wanted to make something different from the previous ones.

The main reason why the Spring Festival Gala in the last year caused such a big response was that Fei Xiang, the invited singer of Baodao, sang "A Fire in Winter" and danced. Although many leaders thought it was not good to sing and dance like this at the evening party, the facts proved that the audience still liked this style of performance very much.

Director Zhao asked: "What do you think, Teacher Li?"

Li Yange said: "Remembrance of the Forbidden City is good, but if you want to play this song on the stage, it would probably be impossible without a 20-30-person orchestra."

"What do you mean by Teacher Li?"

"Director Zhao, just tell me directly, what kind of music you want, is it a little more festive, or a music of another style?"

"I'm like I want the Forbidden City to recall this magnificent music. The stage pattern of the previous Spring Festival Gala was a little too small. This year, I specially applied for a very spacious studio to the leaders of the station. At that time, I will arrange the scene more grandly."

The 1989 Spring Festival Gala changed the clichés of previous sessions. Not only did the venues be replaced a little larger, but the number of performance troupes was several times that of the past sessions.

At the beginning, the number of bands of Lion was 20 to 30, and then there were 20 to 30 dance troupes, with fifty people coming on stage without a trace of crowding.

A more atmospheric music.

Li Wen closed his eyes and pondered for a moment. There were a lot of such songs in his mind, but they were not very suitable for the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. However, if you were not selected completely based on the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival, there were indeed many suitable songs.

Li Yange thought for a while: "I have a new song, which is equally majestic and grand, and it is quite suitable for the opening of the evening party."

“What song?”

"There is no music score yet, but if Director Zhao thinks it can be tried, I will try to write it out these days. Then I will make a sample for Director Zhao to listen to. If the effect is good, use it."

"No problem, Teacher Li can do it with confidence and boldness. Anyway, there are still two or three months left before the Spring Festival Gala, so I believe there should be enough time."

Director Zhao still believes in Li Yange's talent very much. He has specially bought and listened to the two albums he has liked, and the music styles are all the types he likes. So when Zhang Xiaohai proposed to invite Li Yange in the Spring Festival Gala, Director Zhao nodded and agreed without thinking too much.

It was said that it was a few days, but in fact, Li Yange only spent two days to come to CCTV's building again with the recorded song sample and music score.

"Elephant King Xing?!" Director Zhao seemed a little confused when he saw the name on the music score. This name was a bit strange.

"Director Zhao may as well listen." Li Yange took out the tape from his pocket, took out another walkman, and handed it to Director Zhao.

The other party took it, put on the tape, put on the headphones and started listening.

"Sizi..." Accompanied by a little noise, a roar that seemed to come from a colossus, the unique tone of the Dafa name attracted Director Zhao.

Especially the rhythm of the fierce drum beat and music behind it, accompanied by the accompaniment of Guzheng, Pipa, Erhu, etc., the style of the entire song gradually changed in a lively direction.

Perhaps because of hasty recording, the song has a lot of flaws and some rhythms are not well grasped, but despite this, most people still can't hear it very well.

Director Zhao didn't care about the flaws in the song, but was deeply attracted by the lively and varied music.

After listening to the song, Director Zhao praised: "It's not bad, this song is really good. By the way, Teacher Li, what does it mean to be like Wang Xing?"

"This is a passage from Volume 5 of the Buddha's Sutra of Causes and Responsibility of the King of the Dingsheng: When the King of Elephant moves, it is as fast as the wind. It roughly means that when the King of Elephant walks, it is as fast as the wind when the King of Elephant walks."

"But the main meaning of my picking this name is that I used the sound of the Dafa name, which is a musical instrument representing the roar of the King of Elephant in Buddhism."

The song "Elephant Wang Xing" is a song that Li Yange loved very much. When he first watched "The Water of the River and the Sky - National Treasure", he thought this song was particularly great.

There are also previous works such as "The Dragon Song of Water", "Youth Travel", and "Qingpingle", which are also music that Li Yange likes very much. So when Director Zhao wanted a Spring Festival Gala music and didn't care whether it was festive, he thought of the song "The King of Elephant".

As the opening of a party, this song is more than enough. In addition, the overall style of the song is still lively, which is not to say it is completely unsuitable for the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.

In addition, the current Spring Festival Gala is quite complicated and needs to take care of audiences of all ages.

Can you imagine that during the Chinese New Year, the Spring Festival Gala will perform two Peking Opera programs, "The Case of the Chopping of Beauty" and "The Interpretation of Su San"?

After hearing Li Yange reveal the origin of the song, Director Zhao listened to the song several times again. The more he listened, the more satisfied he became, and he couldn't help but praise him again.

"Director Zhao has won the award. Can you watch this song?"

"Yes, that's quite OK!"

Director Zhao was so satisfied with this song, how could he refuse?

"It's OK, then do I contact the band myself, or?"

"Do not worry about contacting the orchestra, Teacher Li doesn't have to worry. We have communicated with the people of the Central National Orchestra. They will send some people to help this year's Spring Festival Gala. Of course, if Teacher Li has special instrumental music performances, there will be no problem bringing it to you."

"No need. Since there is already a national band, I don't think there is any need to contact others anymore." Li Yange shook his head.

The Central National Orchestra is all first-class music, and this time is different from Li Yange last time, and that time is his personal matter.

This time, the Central National Orchestra will definitely send the best talents to come for this large-scale event for people of the Yang generation.

"Okay, Teacher Li, then you will communicate with the band's people tomorrow morning. After getting to know each other, we will officially start the rehearsal."

"Can."
