THE STORY:
Yes. That is the Great Wall of China. No. It's not green screen.
Since ThePianoGuys began, it has been our impossible dream to put a grand piano on the Great Wall. People laughed at us when we said we were determined to do it. It is done. All of us at ThePianoGuys would like to //dediCate\\ this music video to the visionary behind it all and the man whose dream this has always been: Paul Anderson.
It is difficult to detail each of the many miracles that were stitched together in time turning this dream into actuality. Master Oogway, himself, said, "A destiny is not realized until we let go of the illusion of control." To say we made this happen.... Read the rest of the story here: smarturl.it/KungFuPiano

"I have some bad news"
"There are no bad news. Just news"
"Tai Lung has escaped"
"That *is* bad news"
“...if you do not believe the dragon warrior can stop him”
“The panda, master that panda is not the dragon warrior he was never meant to be here, it was a accident.”
There are no accidents
“I know. You said that already... twice.”
Well that was no accident either.
"Panda. We do not wash our pits in the Pool of Sacred Tears."
The pool of... Oh
Brooo🤣 I just watched that
ahaha love that bit

"Yesterday was history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift. That is why we call it the present."
-Master Oogway
that is true. I love this music, that is my favourite!
Master Ogawy
yea you are rite
This saying definitely fits this music
Awesome
Why do we close our eyes when we pray, cry, kiss or dream? Because the most beautiful things in life are not seen, but felt by the heart.
Hate to be that guy but we close our eyes when we kiss because if we didn't everyone would go cross eyed
@@raspberryjam3724 lmao
@@raspberryjam3724 i close my eyes so i dont have to see who im kissing
It's beautiful
True words
That piano has been where no pianos have gone before.
XD mr.piano you'r lucky you know!
izzAbizz that piano has seen more places then my entire bloodline has
izzAbizz the only place my piano has been in is by the window at my house I kinda feel bad for it 😂
Nancy Xu At least it has seen the stuff happening outside.
izzAbizz Piano finally saw his dream come true
"But a peach cannot defeat Tai Lung"
"Maybe It can, if you're willing to guide it, to norture it... To believe in it."
kung fu peach
Then the song plays
2:57
Shifu : But how? How? I need your help, master!
Oogway : No, you just need to believe. Promise me, Shifu. Promise me you will believe.
Shifu : I... I will try.
The camera person is working as beautifully as the piano guys.
It makes me dizzy, should just hold still
@@columbus8myhw so you're telling me that you don't think this is cool? 2:23
Facts
Don't forget the sound technician who synchronized and mixed it all... Hats off! ♥
@@teagannusbaumpiano2416 bro, maybe his/her eyes have problem, i bet he/she playing handphone too long, and he/she still doesn't figured it out why 🤣
I heard this in the Olympics for figure skating, and I was like ”holy, is that Oogway’s theme I’m hearing??”. Now I realize it actually was. epic
Yes, i came here because of wang shi yue and liu xinyu
Yes! I saw that and recognized this song immediately! Way to go Piano Guys!
I didn't even realize this was his theme until this past weekend.
I know the title to this video was decieving to someone who doesn't watch Kung Fu Panda often enough.
Yep I recognized it too and came straight here.
"Master, you can't leave me!"
-"You must believe."
"Master!!"
I love that China’s Ice Dance team, Wang Shiyue and Liu Xinyu used this song for their Free Dance routine this year and performed it at the Olympics. The moment I heard the piano’s opening measures while watching the team competition event I freaked out and said, “Holy cow! This is the Piano Guys’ arrangement!”
Now after watching them for the second time tonight during the Ice Dance medal competition (and knowing what was coming) I could truly appreciate both the song and the routine that they built around it. Wang Shiyue and Liu Xinyu truly did it justice and I hope the Piano Guys are proud of making this arrangement so beautiful for cello and piano and that they did it so well that someone used it for competition at the Olympics!
I was thinking this exact same thing! It was a pleasant surprise to see it performed at the Olympics.
Is there a place I can watch it?
Or perhaps a link?
Your song made it to the 2022 Winter Olympics! Congratulations!!
I just realized the dramatic chords are from Chopin's Prelude Op. 28 No. 20. I love how these guys incorporate classical music into their own :)
i was about to write this comment, good observation
Yes one of the most magical Chopin work
De hecho mi hermana está estudiando para su examen auditivo de lic en musica (piano) y escuché la pieza y le digo: esa rola la conozco jajaja es de piano guys 😅
Buscaba este comentario
It's stated in the description of the video as well
That guy managed to make his Cello sound like a freaking Er Hu. How is that even possible??
Also, they brought a piano onto the Great Wall of freaking China. I'm done.
Mel Sunday SAME
Mel Sunday They did an amazing job re-composing the music. I am a huge classical mucis lover and I think this is one of the best ones I ve heard
I know, isn't that crazy but still amazing !!!
Let's all remember who really got that piano onto the Great Wall of China. (Studio C)
JoDAWG Animations BEST RESPONSE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If Eastern and Western music met earlier in history, we would have a sh*t ton of good music/tunes
Shen Yun has an orchestra that's mixed Eastern/Western, it's pretty cool!
+Hanyang Lee I still prefer classical solo guzheng, gayageum or geomungo, as much as i like solo cello. Something about these solos in their traditionally intended music are so soothing. ^_^
gbohol ugh I can't choose now, both of them mixed are so good but you're also so right ><
Great minds would definitely make great music.
so true
Ok, now I desperately need a How To Train Your Dragon score from these guys.
Thebenmix 11 yesss
Thebenmix 11 I agree 1000000%
Totally agree
A thousand times yes
Please?!?!
Never realized the Chopin prelude was incorporated into the piece. It's really a beautiful touch.
"They did not know it was impossible, so they did it"! Mark Twain
Am I the only one who noticed that these guys basically bought the Great Wall of China for like an hour😂😂😂
They probably rehearsed there too so i'm guessing it was reserved for longer. Impressive cover though!
:l
it's a bit longer than you think...
I asked the same question to my Chinese dad. He said it's most likely that they rented a part of the wall that visitors don't usually go to anyway. The Great Wall of China is 5,500 miles long. There's a lot of wall for everyone over there.
Won't Tell hmm that a hole load of Po (get it po Kung fu panda but poo
As a ballerina I actually danced to this song and it was just amazing feeling the music flow through you as you glide along the stage. I wish more dancers or dance companies would use their music for shows.
Exactly. As it's meant to be portrayed flow with it
Why does 2:57 always make me want to cry? I come back almost every year... I can't even begin to fully appreciate your work, it's just incredible. Hats off to you 👏
Edit: well 3:51 also
and the rest of the song :)
@@Violetparrot780 mainly these parts or like 0:38 because thats the bit Oogwayn a haze of peach blossoms, ascended to the heavens. It made me tear up because I thought I'd never get too see him ever again.
You are right, 🎶💕
I fully agree with you on 2:57, actually from 2:52 to 3:02. It sounds like tragedy. Like someone had a fleeting moment of hope only for it to be ripped away. Or that's what it sounds like to me at least.
I think of Kung Fu Panda 2 when i hear this, most notably the moment Po is remembering his mother and how she gave her life for him as a baby. Waaaay deeper movie than i thought it would be.
Yeah that is one of the best animated movies I've watched
Joanna VelezTrue dat, my friend... ;-; It's so sad...
Joanna Velez This is the same song that plays in Kung Fu Panda when Po is receiving the Dragon Scroll... And you're right, it's also the same song that plays when he's finding inner peace in Kung Fu Panda 2! [mind blown]
Joanna Velez Time to go rewatch both movies...
Caspianm2 EY BITCH SUP
the beginning gives me chills
Omg yessssss
It makes me feel calm and sad.
+Yu the Great Using the Great Wall as background, it felt like born and death of dynasties one after another
ambiva hah, my youtube name is Yu the Great
it's kung fu panda theme
Anyone just hear this song in the Beijing 2022 Olympics?? A Chinese ice dancing team just performed to it!

you are dead wrong
I just love how passionate they look while playing, some how it calms me
They are very good entertainers and that passion is part of it.
this song always makes me cry from how winding it is. it's almost heart wrenching and sorrowful yet beautiful all the same.
This song makes me shit
Such sweet sorrow
Lol
hermosa llo la bailo en el vallet
+Crem2057 yes, heart wrenching to hear it have to finish.
So cool to hear this song used at the 2022 Olympics for China ice dancing pair!
It’s crazy to hear this in the winter Olympic Beijing 2022 figure skating
as Chinese I must say I love it... I can feel my country through the music ... thank you
@AARAV PRITESH Where is Kung Fu Panda set? The film music is meant to be in the style of Chinese music. In the original song 'Oogway ascends', an erhu (a chinese instrument) plays the solo, so the original music written by Hans Zimmer is in fact 'Chinese' style.
Way to go Dreamworks too
@Guy Who's not gay xd you are so funny bro
A song written by white guys from a movie written by white guys perforned by white guys. I honestly dont know if im critizing or not. Its just ironic. It does feel chinese though, cant argue with that.

I LOVE KUNG FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!
*Tries to fly off using fireworks*
@@Mytoes_cold 我看你是傻子吧
jian yu 我看你是笨蛋吧
I love kung fu too☺️
haha I could visualize that scene perfectly when you said that thanks, mate.I love Kung fu too.
I watched this before and forgot the title so instead i searched for epic cello and piano gameplay on china wall
it worked.
Lol It actually does xD
Six years ago I whached this and
Today chopin's Prelude 28 nº 20 bring me here
Never knew Mr. Bean was such a mean cellist.
Heh
his not mr bean
What is with all the stupid 'Mr Bean' comments on THIS video. He looks nothing like Rowan Atkinson, does nothing silly in the video, and PianoGuys have hundreds of other videos with no 'Mr Bean' comments. It's just weird.
he died...
@@SorrySuckYou stfu and enjoy the joke dude
It's amazing how close they got the cello to sounding like an er hu (chinese violin) and gu zheng (chinese harp)!
Well they said in the description that there were Asian percussion's playing in the video.
Well If I remember well, after the video before this one, Steve broke his black electric cello. And after they tried to fix it, they realized that even though the original sound was lost, it was pretty heu... Oriental-sounding... So they decided to go along with it ^^
He's playing an electric cello. He can put a lot of different filters on it to make it sound really like anything he wants to.
+Natsu La Smileuse You are thinking about Steve's steel cello. It broke during the Lord of the Rings shoot and the sounds that it now made were used to create sounds heard in Dont you Worry Child. They called it the Sitello - a cross between the Sitar and the Cello :)
Rayden Vaughan Music Ah thanks! I knew I had gotten something wrong but couldn't find where they talked about it
This really makes me want to buy a plane ticket, fly to China, travel to the great wall, and try to race the sun as it was rising while listening to this song.
Awesomely put! Same here :D
Why, thank you. :)
The Great Wall now, too many tourists, there will be no video on this kind of artistic conception, believe me
Still listening to this 6 years later, calmed my mind in 6th grade
The piano keys are black and white but they sound like a million colors in your mind. ♥️🎹
But, seriously, how in the world did you manage to actually get the piano on the wall?!!!!

Thank you to the china's ice dance team from 2022 Olympics to let me discover this masterpiece!
This has to be my FAVORITE composition by the Piano Guys!!! I have seen your play this live in concert several times and listened to this song hundreds of times. It never gets old!! My happy song!
How the hell did he make the cello sound like an Erhu?
Special chello made in China with an extra string that makes it sound like that.
+Peh Yu Xiang (LinkInMinecraft) He was using an electric cello to achieve that sound... beautiful
+Xiang (Fortehlolz) He has a 5 stringed electric cello, and being an electric cello their must be some way to filter it into an erhu sound. The electric cello actually looks nothing like an erhu, not to mention that erhus play completely differently then cellos do, AND only have 2 strings. Heck when you translate the suffix of the word "hu" it turns out that it can be translated to be "two" as in two strings.
I would love to know what software he did use to change an electric cello into an erhu thing.
because it is an electronic cello you could make sound like drums if you wanted to
Sure, I would love to know what software though. I have looked for a bit and cant find one
As a Chinese I'd say this is genius. And there're 5 strings on that electric cello?! Amazing
Was fortunate to catch these guys performing live in Melbourne yesterday! Spectacular perfromance. 😍My heart is full!
This song warms my heart I love Chinese traditional music and these guys definitely did their research
One of my favorite songs from a movie ever. I will not lie I cried like a toddler during the scene. Truly beautiful.
As a Chinese, I can say they made a pretty good Chinese style in this MV.
Can't believe he actually bring his piano all the way from the USA to China dang
Ill never not come back to this. Hans Zimmer has created some of the most beautiful music (for an animated kids movie no less) and these guys flawlessly put their own spin on it
Actually there's 8 Wonders of World,and the 8th one is none other than the P I A N O G U Y S.You guys are really inspiring and awesome.

Finally someone who gets life
the other guy looks like lawrence krauss
😂
There's a difference between Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean) and Steve Nelson (the cello guy). :)
FluidMinecrafting yup , it was a joke tho
AMAZING, INSPIRING, and UNFORGETTABLE!!!
I have listened to this so many times over the years that I have every note memorized, yet it still makes me spill hot tears after all these years. Something so sad yet beautiful about this one, a masterpiece.
LOVE the sound of the cello at the start.
You guys should do "The pink Panther," and also a "Halo" cover.
I just love how you can see that passion and emotion that they put into the music...it's something incredible
I grew up with Kunfu Panda and listening to this after so many years I teared up. The music is so deep it touches my soul.
I love the emotion they show when they play :)
true.
If Chinese people can build Great Wall, there is no doubt they can get a grand piano up there.
lol yeah
+Sure as hell not with the same technology!
let me tell you i am a chinese. A long time ago they bulit great wall to defend enemiesto attack them as great wall is high
Ray Sew I'm Asian xD
thunderbirdice Chinese here. I totally agree with you! :-)
Yesterday is history,tomorrow is a mystery,but today is a gift.That is why it is called the _present._
Can we just appreciate the fact that Steve literally just spun his bow around like three times, then just goes RIGHT BACK TO PLAYING LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED. 😱🤯😍
am i the only one that thinks that 2:53 is the best part
That's the climax of the song/chorus; it's beautiful ^ ^
Every part is great ;-)
Привет спасибо большое за ваше отношение к этому произведению
❤❤❤😂😂
They always have amazing landscapes for their background setting.
Is magic
This was just played during the ice dancing competition of the 2022 Beijing Olympics!
The smile these guys have when they play never gets old, always infectious as hell

This is one of the most beautiful songs that I have ever heard. The brilliant composition created by the Piano Guys is amazing.

I don't know how you got a kid whose into rap and dub step into something like this...but I'm glad you did
WOLOLO
...hehe welcome to the team
Not many people apreciate the kung fu panda score because its from a cheesy kids film, but really its one of my favourite soundtracks and a great work of hans zimmer's
Yeh Zimmer is a legend
You'd probably like man of steel soundtrack as well then
***** Not checked out the tron score yet!! But Batman begins is already in my library :D
its not bad cartoon its actualy full of great pohilosophy and says as one often meets his destini on he path to avoid it
Yeah used to be my favourite film when i was 8
Sam J Dude it came out in 08. You can't call a film a cheesy kids film when you're 13... XD
This is sooooo brillient. Sounds just like an Erhu. Missing a Pipa but still good. 8 yrs later. Im still Listening to this again and again. Top 10. TPG 💖
1:19 Prelude op.28 n°20, Chopin
Also 3:16
How can they find such a quite spot in the Great Wall??????????? Man they must be powerful ppl with talents.
They're like there rich. They could go anywhere and it seems like they're celebrities.
+Justin Huang The Great Wall of China is really really relly long it's easy to find an empty spot just avoid the tourist groups which are usually at the front or 'gateway' sections of the wall
+Justin Huang I think you mean "quiet". And yes, they're both powerful and have great talent. Their Chi is strong.
+moparman7400 hahaha
This song is really amazing. It inspires me to write music of my own. Maybe one day I will be able to perform and record in great places like these. Never stop doing what you guys do. Your music can inspire people to do great things.
All time favorite duet of theirs....😍
Your videos are AMAZING. I never get sick of listening to them even though I've listened to them a thousand times
INCREDIBLE sounds, TY!
Llj
g
I read "kung fu piano" as "kung fu panda".
Hahahahahahaha So did I...
I thought it was kungfu panda before i read your comment O.O
This piece was the music for the Chinese ice dance pair in the Beijing Winter Olympics!
I remember playing this on my computer at home right before going to school so it loaded and then taking it in the car so I could listen to it without internet over and over again during the 30 minute drive... you guys saved me
This is one of my favorites from you guys. It is intense and beautiful all at the same time. Wonderful God given gifts you have!
So awesome!
Me: watches piano guys for 5 hours on speakers*
*brother comes in
Brother: what are you watching?
Me:piano guys
Brother: who’s “piano guys?”
Me: throws phone at his face* I don’t even know you anymore
@Xie WU heh. Experienced?
Relatable. XD
I did the same thing except it was my slippers instead of my phone
I love the way all four of you work together to bring your artwork to life. Thank You.
This makes me want to run across the wall with a katana XD
and i wanna go staff crazy on someone !!! XD
Kungfu is from china. Katana is from japan.
and the act of running across the great wall which is a defensive wall of china, with a katana which is a weapon from japan, sort of has more meaning than what you wanted to express...
赤色白兎 Well, I didn't mean to offend anyone...
TehDoom32 meh
This is soooo relaxing to listen to ☺️ at first. Then that beat thou makes you want to wanna play the instrument too 🤓(or fight an epic battle like po and the furious 5 & master shifu)
And the ending just wants to make you cry 😢
Too much feelz~
+Naira Gar Same ;-;
Exactly oogway ascends is supposed to be sad, and relaxing, but why did they add in a battling feeling? It doesn't fit yo the culture, song, or any part, but they did hit notes right and it sounded great :)
When you get into the second part of the song it's just like a chase scene or a man leaving his family and dies going to war. ;(
Theses people make the best music vids ever I just really enjoy the cello and the piano two of my favorites instruments and yes it was really sad too
Luckily for me I know how to play violin and cello
i love this so much ive played on repeat 10 times
This is still my very favorite from you guys
Chopin's Prelude No. 20 in C minor! 1:20
+Noah Qiu
I hear that
+Noah Qiu it was in the credits :/
It's true.
Every one of your videos come nothing short of spectacular!
That was incredible!! You two are so talented!! Wish I could see you in concert.
This is among my favorite pieces of music done by Pianoguys. This music is the work of masters.
Classical music triumphs all, the lack of words adds to the imagination and depth
this isn't classical....
i never said it was, and yes it isn't classical music in the casual sense however the instruments and the fact it has no words reminded me of a lot of classical music
If more people listened to this type of music, and they listened carefully, it would tell them a beautiful story.
I love everything in this song! They are so passionate, it's inspiring just to listen them! And the video, it is wonderful and beautiful! It's perfect! This is one of the best songs they have so far! I really love your work!
I've watched this 5 times in a row and it never got old! Amazing job guys! 👏🏻👏🏻
2:20 ... very cool
Cool as pulshasi?
Cello trying to imitate the Erhu? :D
This music is so beautiful that you just want to close your eyes and relax. The Piano Guys are wonderful. I would love to hear more of their songs.
