"And for this harmony here, I wrote the melody first and then matched it. In this case, I need to use off-key chords or an ascending fourth degree according to the direction of the melody. But in this case, the bass line must consider the root. The chords will feel a bit bland.”
"You can't express modernity for the sake of expressing modernity. Moreover, after configuring the harmony, I feel that the voice leading is not as perfect as I imagined. It is okay if the chords are irrelevant, but after losing the overall auditory logic, it will always feel somewhere. It’s weird, and it will be relatively niche, which is not conducive to dissemination and acceptance.”
Li Jinglin scratched his head.
He started talking non-stop.
Other staff members not far away could not help but stare blankly over.
"There are also some changes in rhythm, especially the construction of some emotion-guided compound beats. Although I feel that it is already very good, I always feel that there is room for optimization."
"Well, that's it."
Li Jinglin opened the file.
I listened to the chief controller.
Immediately.
I found another version of the design and gave it to the chief controller to listen to.
"and this."
“Also, some of the overtones seemed to be used a bit frequently, and I felt that they could be deleted, but after some modifications, I felt that it had become a regular pentatonic mode. It sounded pretty good, but not as good as I imagined. "
"Yeah, let's hear if this is what it feels like."
Li Jinglin nodded thoughtfully.
"There are quite a lot of melody development techniques, including extensions and thimbles."
"However, the effect of this hanging four chord on the development of the melody is not as good as imagined, but if you choose the ordinary chord direction, you will lose some highlights."
"General Controller, come and listen and give me some suggestions."
At that moment, Li Jinglin started talking a lot.
If we talk about composing in the past.
Then Li Jinglin can quickly determine the standard answer.
However, for this time's soundtrack, Li Jinglin really didn't want to find a standard answer, but wanted to try to make breakthroughs based on his own abilities.
Otherwise, it may not be worthy of this program or a national treasure.
So, answer 1, answer 2, answer 3 can be easily found in the past.
Now it has become an "additional multiple-choice question."
If it is simply to express emotions, or to express the quality of the "link".
That's very simple.
But if you want to have "Chinese charm" in your works, it's not that easy.
It’s too cumbersome, and I feel that the Chinese style should be ingenious but not workmanlike, natural, simple and “reasonable”.
But after simplifying it, I felt that it should have exquisite design and a majestic palace filled with complex details to be grand enough.
so.
Different feelings, different attempts, and a collision of understandings of the essence of Chinese culture.
What makes this music come and go is that it is changed again and again.
"."
But.
After hearing these words.
The chief controller was simply dumbfounded.
Actually.
As the central mother, the general controller of a program.
Although the main job is to be responsible for coordinating and supervising production.
But it doesn't mean that he doesn't understand some things in the program.
Especially the understanding, knowledge and aesthetics of music are definitely online.
But.
Understand again.
I can’t stand you doing this!
"But... I think this piece of music is good enough."
The general control smashes the mouth.
In fact, the general controller knows.
The fact that Li Jinglin was able to show it to himself proved that he actually already knew which version to choose.
But if you are determined personally, you can still strive for excellence.
In the eyes of the chief controller, this scene was quite explosive.
A song in fifteen minutes can become popular all over the Internet.
I am struggling over and over with this piece that is only 20 seconds long.
"Ahem. Ah Lin, believe in yourself, I believe in you!"
"."
The chief controller didn't even address his position.
But Li Jinglin didn't pay attention.
He nodded and frowned.
"So, Chief Controller, which of these versions do you think is more in line with your expectations or imaginary feeling?"
This proposition once again hit the chief controller's head.
Fortunately, the controller's eyesight went dark.
The music director decides the music is right.
However, it is also normal for the music director to take out suitable music, let everyone listen to it, and then choose.
But.
in the past.
In this case, it’s because everyone is different and has their own tendencies, so the song selection is based on the direction of the program itself, so it’s very appropriate.
Similar to.
You said you wanted me to build a car.
I built an SUV and I built a sports car.
Both cars are good in their own right, and both are fast.
But which one to choose depends on the "road conditions" of the program.
But what?
Li Jinglin knew that the road surface was a very balanced racing track.
Find the answer directly - exclude other models and directly build racing cars and sports cars.
So they built one sports car after another, all very fast.
Some are fast in corners, some are fast in straight lines, some are better at balance, and some accelerate faster.
Then we sent drivers to test and found that although each has its own specialties, there is a sequence when running.
But TMD theoretically runs this road, and these cars all arrive at the finish line at the same time.
You can choose whichever one you want, but it always feels like you can choose the best one.
For the total control of this kind of difficult choice.
This is undoubtedly a hell-level proposition.
"Alin, I believe you."
The chief controller patted Li Jinglin on the shoulder.
Is it a Ferrari or a Lamborghini?
Is it Koenigsegg or Bugatti Veyron?
The chief controller said that he really didn’t want to do multiple-choice questions.
"This is really excellent. Anyway, I feel very good about it. Let's try it with your version first. If there is any effect on the show, you can make some changes yourself."
"Yeah, okay."
Li Jinglin nodded.
This is actually just like writing an article.
The plot of the whole story is well thought out, the rhythm is well designed, and the writing style is also exciting enough after it is written.
But he just knows how to be wordy.
Same as literature.
In music, it is normal to "finish words" and "keep improving" the notes.
The change of one word shocked the entire article, and the embellishment of one chord sublimated the entire melody.
This is quite common.
For example, "Old Nine Gates" is very emotional, and "Old Eight Gates" is even more emotional.
This process of change.
It lasted for a whole week, and Li Jinglin finally finalized all the framework, details and various soundtracks.
At this time, it was already time for all other programs in the entire program group to start rehearsals.
But.
The next difficulty waiting for Li Jinglin has just begun.
【Name】
Looking at Li Jinglin who was sitting at the computer desk and scratching his head.
Luo Shiyao was really worried.
After getting used to this action, I don't know if it will change.
"Coming up a song title, is it so difficult?"
Luo Shiyao lay curiously behind Li Jinglin.
The fragrance of the little Q bombs and the entwining hair cannot disturb Li Jinglin at all.
All I can think about is the name.
"Of course it's difficult."
Li Jinglin curled his lips.
"This work is a little different from the past. Keeping improving is the basic thing."
"You can't just give Director Guo a score and just give it a random name."
It is different from the soundtrack of "The Wandering Earth".
The Wandering Earth revolves around story scenes and does not require a name.
Just explain what the music is for.
For example, names such as "Nervous, can be used anywhere", "The director insisted on me adding it", "Kill him to death".
But.
This time the variety show of "National Treasure" is different.
In contrast, there is an extra difficult requirement.
[Cultural symbols and images]
With such a requirement, the name naturally cannot be used as a song title such as "This is the appearance of a guest" and "This is the curtain call of a national treasure".
"Let me listen."
Luo Shiyao put on her headphones curiously.
Start listening to the two clips you are struggling with.
"Eh? It feels so good."
Luo Shiyao raised her eyebrows.
"Where is this going to be arranged?"
"This is the soundtrack when the show unfolds and the first artifact appears."
Li Jinglin explained.
Hearing Li Jinglin's words, Luo Shiyao suddenly realized.
"Why do you feel like you are making a grand debut?! Ah Lin, you are great!"
".So what's a better name?"
".How about you tell me your idea?"
Hearing Luo Shiyao's words, Li Jinglin nodded slightly.
He opened his mouth to explain.
"You see, at the beginning, the high-pitched area responsible for the human voice and the low-pitched area responsible for the zheng sound unfold at the same time. In my image, it is like two dragons intertwined and lifted into the sky, and then the truth about the national treasure and cultural relics was revealed. a feeling of."
"Then during the reshooting, when the strum strings were hung, it felt like the bead curtain was being lifted and it was officially unveiled."
"Then the heavy effect of brass music is used to vigorously promote the emotion, and the rhythm is accelerated at the same time, and a howling sound effect is given from the left channel to the right channel to express the dragon's roar when the cultural relics are unveiled. The feeling of an eagle's cry, and with the appearance of national treasures and cultural relics, the whole music ends gracefully at the highest point, so it will be very emotional."
Li Jinglin smacked his lips.
He explained in detail his creative ideas and his imagination.
"I was thinking, how about calling it "Leaping through the Dragon Gate"? But this name doesn't quite fit the B category of the national treasure, because the national treasure itself is a real dragon and doesn't need to jump. "Opening the Heavenly Gate" or something like that would be too exaggerated."
"Well, what you said is quite similar, but do you know what the strumming effect you mentioned, opening the bead curtain, sounds like to me?"
Seeing Luo Shiyao's mysterious smile, Li Jinglin suddenly became curious.
Everyone imagines something different when listening to music.
Maybe, if you change the angle, you can have more ideas.
"What?"
"It's like falling into the sea of stars all of a sudden, then floating and wandering, feeling the grandeur of the universe and the insignificance of oneself. That strumming string is like the starlight in the distant Milky Way, and then, suddenly, a meteor streaks across, and then a The feeling of unparalleled intense light illuminating the entire universe!”
"ah?"
Li Jinglin scratched his head.
Although this answer is really unexpected.
But after thinking about it carefully, I still feel that way.
"Eh? Don't tell me, it makes sense!"
Li Jinglin's eyes lit up.
even.
Even the imagery and texture explained fit the show perfectly.
"Yes! Just like in the dark night, the stars pass by and the moon rises. It is embellished by the stars, hinting at other cultural relics that have not yet appeared, and there is also the moon, a cultural relic that has been displayed as the protagonist of the dark night stars."
Luo Shiyao's words.
Li Jinglin's eyes suddenly lit up and he was very surprised.
Think carefully.
It seems that it can be interpreted this way.
"Then what do you think of calling it "Mingyue Yin"?"
"Mingyue Yin?"
Luo Shiyao carefully tasted the title of the song.
"China's thousands of years of history are like a vast universe, containing dazzling cultural relics that shine like stars in the universe."
"The clouds are rolling, the moon is shining brightly!"
"Use the bright moon as a guide to reveal the boundless starry sky?! I think it can be done!"
"Great, then this is it!"
Li Jinglin chuckled.
I excitedly typed the name of the music.
Immediately turned around.
"Honey, that's great, come on, come on."
"It's disgusting, oh, so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so damn so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so..."
Fixed a song title issue.
Li Jinglin suddenly felt happy.
At this time, the fragrance can be smelled.
For a moment, I felt a little distracted.
It seemed like he felt something.
Luo Shiyao's face turned red.
"Hey, what are you thinking about, young man?"
"Smile, it's like you don't want to."
Li Jinglin was eager to try.
"Come here, I'm afraid of you."
"Heh, look how I treat you."
In the boxing ring, there is plenty of time to warm up before the game.
After putting on the protective gear, a whistle is blown and the boxers test each other.
Exchange each other's offense and defense to find loopholes.
When the physical strength is almost exhausted, there will be a fierce attack like a sudden storm, and finally the winner will be determined.
The two hugged each other's fists, took a short rest, changed their clothes and walked out of the venue, looking forward to the next fight.
"I'll buy you something to eat, and you can continue to think of other song titles here."
Luo Shiyao kissed Li Jinglin and walked out of the apartment.
Li Jinglin breathed out a refreshing breath.
Then he continued to think about the great cause of naming.
"In this case, we almost have some ideas."
With such a beginning.
Other names can completely imitate the style and texture of "Mingyue Yin".
The title of the song is filled with a wonderful charm unique to China.
"The guest appears. Then just call it "Breaking Music"!"
Li Jinglin chuckled.
The music that supports the appearance of the guardians of national treasures can perfectly convey the sacred and fierce feeling of guardianship, wearing armor and holding flags.
Think about it carefully.
The other song titles became increasingly clear.
then.
Li Jinglin opened the webpage and searched for some names of tunes passed down from ancient times to the present in China.
From it, look for a trace of charm and a trace of texture.
The naming work was successfully completed.
Until the end of the weekend and work again.
After handing over the complete music to the master controller.
The response to Li Jinglin was a thumbs up.
"Okay! Very good! Very good!"
The chief controller shook his head repeatedly, his eyes full of light.
Vaguely, there is always a feeling of total control.
This show may be sublimated because of these really amazing soundtracks!
"Hurry! Go and record, rush it! I want to see this complete soundtrack added to the show during this week's rehearsals!"
Speechless.
The previous description of Director Guo's striving for perfection in the details of his works can actually be considered repetitive.
Maybe there is something wrong with the way I describe it.
Alas, poor grades + poor health, I can’t stand it any longer.
