"This is a female character, her name is Yunying. Just refer to the text for the background story. It is expected to be changed. According to the current draft of the drawing, she is a skinny, young rich lady."
"He is impulsive, flamboyant, a little reckless, and a fierce general."
"But she is also just, enthusiastic, brave and fearless. She is a very outgoing energetic girl."
Talkative, ADHD.
As energetic as fire.
Hard and soft, ever-changing.
Unmoving like a mountain, moving like a flaming fire.
Looking at this character one after another,
Li Jinglin bared his teeth.
Difficult. Quite difficult, but for Li Jinglin, it is not a huge difficulty.
only.
trouble.
Quite troublesome.
In the creation and design of music.
If it is a male character, then the character can be completely visualized and flattened.
There is no need to dismantle the creative ideas down to the cells. According to the development of the character's story and the texture of Pipa's martial arts, we should vigorously promote the feeling of indomitable progress, seven in and seven out.
That is to say.
In the process of "sketching", the song only needs to linearly describe the personal story through melody and musical sections.
In the "coloring" process, you can use orchestration, harmony and other aspects to embellish the character.
This is undoubtedly much simpler.
The unique character traits of the female character, the texture of a girl, the complex character design, and the Emei marksmanship that combines strength and softness.
How to combine the sense of femininity with the murderous aura of the spear, and imply these qualities without affecting each other.
has become the biggest problem at present.
That is to say.
It is necessary to go through every detail and carry out multi-faceted and all-round hints.
simply put.
One is a hamburger sandwich.
A layer of bread, a layer of meat, a layer of eggs, a layer of vegetables, a layer of sauce, and a layer of bread.
After taking care of the details, just separate them.
Very linear.
But the other one is boiled cabbage.
Take time, strictly select ingredients, pay attention to the heat, refine the stock, and pay attention to steps such as steaming, boiling, and pouring the soup.
Think about it carefully.
Li Jinglin followed the development of the story and gave a tentative preliminary structure.
[Childhood] - [Enter Dali Temple] - [Honglu performs martial arts] - [Learn to steal fire and defeat the machine man].
According to the four stages summarized in this copy.
Then, the temporarily determined image of the music structure is
[The theme motivation of the character, extending the music material A]--[The emotional foreshadowing and development of the dream in youth, juxtaposed new material B]--[Emotional promotion, entering the main part of the music area C]--[A or B The material is over-recited]--[Use the modulation method to raise the tone to push the emotion in area C up a level]
Um.
A very simple infrastructure.
Subsequently, based on changes in some details, the structure of the musical form will be able to change freely.
Think about it for a while.
At this time, a hazy structure of the theme music began to take shape.
Watching Li Jinglin draw a large square frame on the paper.
Zhao Mingya couldn't help but stretched out her head to take a look curiously.
I found that I couldn't understand it at all.
Yes, Zhao Mingya, who is also a music artist, cannot understand what strange thing Li Jinglin is writing.
This thing is not a staff at all, nor is it a subtracted notation.
There's nothing like that, just connected large squares of different lengths.
"It's probably a paragraph like this. It develops here, expands here, changes the tone here, and expands again."
Li Jinglin explained while marking symbols and connecting lines on the frame.
"The ups and downs of the texture of the entire paragraph should have a cliff-like drop from here, and then a rapid rise. This will create a psychological hint and can greatly stir up the audience's emotions."
With explanation.
This time, Zhao Mingya finally understood.
But he was also shocked.
There is no musical motive, no theme, nothing at all.
But this is the framework and the style, structure, conception, promotion, and development of the entire piece of music.
But it’s all thought out!
"Also, here you can rely on rhythm or rhythm to give a certain degree of hints, and then roughly fill in the gaps in this paragraph. The interval between paragraphs will be about one minute and 20 to one minute and 40 seconds. ?”
Li Jinglin was still talking.
But Zhao Mingya felt a little numb.
He glanced at Li Jinglin.
Zhao Mingya asked in surprise.
"No, A Lin, have you always been so outrageous in your compositions?!"
Li Jinglin showed this overall view of music.
It seems a bit scary.
Although, this kind of theme music does need to conceive the framework first.
But that's just a rough idea.
The most important thing is to find an image first, use the image to write the theme motive of the music, start to develop the music based on the theme motive, gradually form a paragraph, and then change the details.
How can there be such an outrageous operation as "I want the musical material hints around 25 seconds, and kickback at two minutes"?
This can only mean one thing.
This man's overall view of music is terrifying.
"Yes, that's how the story goes."
Li Jinglin spoke seriously.
Zhao Mingya didn't seem to be aware of her surprise.
"You see, first of all, it was Yunying's passionate dream when she was young that she didn't like red clothes and loved armed weapons. When she grew up, she went through a series of events from [Dali Temple] to [Honglu Martial Arts], and understood the art of plundering guns. At this time, she was very high-spirited. , it must be a kickback to Yunying’s passionate dream when she was young.”
"Simple melody repetition will appear too low-level, and a rising key modulation is just a broad texture change."
"As for the hints of dreams, we cannot simply stay at [dreaming and realization]. We must make an emotional suggestion correspondence and interaction between the details of [dreams] and [premonitions before realizing dreams]."
"There are many ways, including changes in rhythm, color changes in the selection of drum sounds, and so on."
Li Jinglin spoke in an orderly and reasonable manner.
But it's just like "Isn't this common sense?"
Zhao Mingya was a little stunned when she heard this.
I couldn't help but nod along.
"Details like this imply that there will be a lot of kickbacks. Among them, many of them need to be used based on the same skills and different expressions of Sister Zhao."
"For example, a small range of hints of picking skills can be echoed by a large range, wide-open bow sweep at the next kickback. Doesn't this give a sense of [progress] and [improvement]? It can also be driven by emotions. effect."
"It's like when Yunying was young and used a spear, she was very weak, but after her skills matured and she was able to stand alone, the tip of the spear broke through the air and the momentum was like a rainbow."
"6"
Zhao Mingya's scalp felt numb.
The technique of sweeping is actually an enlarged form of playing.
Normal flicking is a movement of the wrist, while sweeping with a wide open bow requires the use of the strength of the forearm based on the wrist.
A simple change in technique corresponds to the growth of the character, the realization of dreams, and the improvement of marksmanship.
Zhao Mingya glanced at Li Jinglin strangely.
Enlightenment.
No wonder this guy's music is so popular.
It's all about the details.
Details are still details.
It would be strange if this horse is not popular!
"Come on, Sister Zhao, let's play a two-tone pick first, just open the strings. It should express the feeling of a little girl waving the tip of a gun playfully, a little playful and cute..."
Li Jinglin spoke subconsciously.
Zhao Mingya didn't have time to think about it.
A gentle flick.
Thumb thump!
Li Jinglin nodded.
The two began to carefully feel the emotions and textures contained in these two sounds.
Immediately.
Li Jinglin spoke again.
"Sister Zhao, this time I want to give a sweeping sweep with a bit of aggression and agility."
clank! !
Zhao Mingya immediately strummed wildly with her bow wide open, looking murderous.
"Yeah, yeah, that's it!"
Li Jinglin chuckled.
Very satisfied.
Zhao Mingya was shocked.
It is better to try it once than to say it ten thousand times. Once you try it like this, the contrast between before and after is very strong.
"Well, next, I will construct a picture for Sister Zhao and give a basic melody fragment. You can try to expand it solo based on these."
Looking at Zhao Mingya, she nodded.
Li Jinglin began to conceive of a basic sound sequence.
Lift it up, develop it, and then terminate.
Form a most basic "theme motivation".
Repeat this simple theme motive again, and change a few phonemes in the repeated theme motive in the second paragraph to produce some changes.
A simple piece of music.
Immediately, he put down the pen, handed it to Zhao Mingya, and started describing it.
"Imagine that on the ring, a very outgoing rich lady is facing a powerful enemy. On the one hand, it is the fighting spirit in her heart, and on the other hand, she is the fear brought by the strong oppression. Then she strengthens her heart and spears Strike through the air and ignite the flames."
Roughly describe the texture before and after a battle.
Zhao Mingya nodded.
I took a closer look at the simple melody line written by Li Jinglin.
After two sight-readings to get a thorough grasp, he began to close his eyes and frown in thought.
in mind.
A lively girl, holding a spear, is facing a powerful enemy.
There was some oppression and some fear, but then the fighting spirit strengthened his heart, and the power of the gun spread like fire.
Then, start to solo casually.
In a solo like this, it’s actually hard to have any sense of melody.
Most of them rely on force, strength, speed, and changes in techniques to pull emotions and create an emotional change.
It expresses texture.
During the solo process, Li Jinglin carefully observed the changes in Zhao Mingya's techniques and the forms of technical expression he chose under different emotional changes.
And record it on the side.
To know.
On the lute.
Add left and right hands together.
There are more than 60 kinds of techniques, and they are still being innovated and changed.
These techniques are so complex that they cannot be used casually.
This is also the reason why Li Jinglin came to find Zhao Mingya.
Because, for a pipa player of this level, the technique that comes out of the first conscious reaction may be the most suitable.
If we only talk on paper, even if there is no problem of skills not matching emotions, there will still be problems in connection.
Take the violin, for example.
Express girly.
Without knowing anything about musical instruments and having only daydreams, I whimsically wanted to use jumping bows to express my agility, and I wanted to use vibrato to express the tenderness of a girl.
Um.
I thought it was pretty good.
but.
It's like the clarinet can't play portamento and at the same time play staccato at the same time.
Who can vibrate the strings while jumping on a horse?
If it can be done, the world of violins will not be the first to explode. The world of biology should be the first to explode. You have to slice it up and study the diversity of species.
so.
This kind of composition requires communication with the performer.
Because only performers in this industry know the skills of their own instruments best.
"Can there be a stringing function in this place? If there is a stringing function, it would create a very tense atmosphere."
"After pulling the string, can it be over-transformed?"
Li Jinglin thought carefully.
He mentioned some ideological requirements to Zhao Mingya.
"Let me try"
After giving it a try.
Zhao Mingya nodded.
"It can be handled this way, no problem, the transition is very smooth."
The two of them were communicating.
While designing the connection and conversion of skills.
This kind of joint creation made Luo Shiyao feel very strange.
Rare, very rare.
"Well, these sounds need to be changed a little bit."
Because it’s a solo.
Therefore, Zhao Mingya did not pay much attention to the details of the melody.
It mainly depends on the connection of skills and the expression of emotions.
And Li Jinglin.
It uses a strong sense of sound to record the solo played by Zhao Mingya.
Return to the music score, sort out the details of music theory, change some intervals that do not conform to the changes in mode and key, or perform a more scientific interval transformation.
Then Zhao Mingya was asked to polish the details again based on the rewritten melody line in the score.
The reason why I gave you a melody first.
Precisely because of the solo thing, it is easy to play melodies that are commonly used and practiced in the past, so as to avoid similarities.
A collaboration between the two.
It was an eye-opener for Luo Shiyao.
The cooperation between the big guys is really exquisite and smooth.
It can be said that they are showing off their skills to each other and showing each other extremely powerful musical skills.
What stands out is that it is outrageous.
Zhao Mingya's playing is outstanding and sharp.
Jaw-dropping.
But every time, Li Jinglin could always get the essence of it with a keen eye, and he would write and change it as he pleased.
Every change makes people feel "f*ck brilliant".
After Li Jinglin changed the score, Zhao Mingya showed her strong sight-reading ability.
Give me a score, take a look at it, and start playing it right away. There is no need to practice it several times.
It's as if it has been practiced countless times.
Playing is instinctive, and it has nothing to do with whether you are familiar with the music or not.
And in this rapid advancement
The two of them can also take time to feel, experience, and discuss some issues in the emotional expression of the work.
Just like the exquisite cooperation between O'Neal and Kobe on the court, they fit perfectly.
"."
The collision of the two great musicians is really pleasing to the eye.
Luo Shiyao was stunned for a moment.
The details in this piece of music are becoming more and more exaggerated.
The reason why I write about the creative process first is because there is quite an essence in this piece of music.
Of course, it is indeed a bit of a large-scale teaching, so I won’t describe it in detail later.
should
It's not considered an illness, right--
