"Festival, cymbals, and drums."
"Panpipe, horn, xun, bamboo raft, zhu."
As an expert in musical instruments.
Li Jinglin's mind quickly flashed through the types of musical instruments commonly used in the Han Dynasty.
At present, the restoration of ancient music is not entirely considered a knowledge of the music profession.
Generally, those who study archeology and history make inferences based on ancient books and archaeological data.
For example, something was dug out somewhere, described in ancient books and determined to be a musical instrument, and then copied using modern technology.
Some murals, ancient books, or some musical scores were dug out from the tomb.
Use these, based on some music circulating among the people today.
and based on knowledge from other disciplines.
For example, astronomy, calendar, and mathematics are determined, and then ancient notation is deduced and restored.
In today's development, disciplines are intertwined with each other.
It is a normal thing to involve many subjects.
but.
Restoration of ancient genealogies.
The more significance is to trace the origin and explore the history and culture.
It's not about music appreciation.
To know.
The development of music.
Just from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance, and then from the Renaissance to modern times, the styles and aesthetics are very different from each other.
And that's even just the West.
The historical context of the East is so long, even if we continue to follow the methods of our ancestors, the style, aesthetics, and musical feeling will be quite different. Restored ancient music may not be liked by modern aesthetics.
But why do this.
In addition to exploring historical reasons.
More importantly, it provides some reference models for modern music.
simply put.
It is to give an ancient charm to modern music, allowing audiences with modern aesthetics to feel the texture of ancient music from the perspective of modern music aesthetics.
That is to say.
What everyone likes is "retro" modern music, modern music with the texture of ancient music.
It's still modern music, not ancient music.
Come up with real ancient music.
Few modern people like it.
The ancient music of the Ming and Qing Dynasties is not that long ago, and it is indeed pretty good.
But if you go further.
Tang.
Even earlier Han.
That is indeed an aesthetic change that transcends the times.
After all, times have changed and music has progressed, and this aesthetic is definitely not static.
Even if classical music is only two or three hundred years old and is in the same system as modern music, these aesthetic changes are enough to create a gap.
What's more, it's only two thousand years old, and it's still something completely different from modern music.
That's not a planet at all
You can completely trust the aesthetics of your ancestors.
We must fully believe in the aesthetic progress of our ancestors and respect the development and changes of facts.
And at this time.
The same is true for what Li Jinglin wants to do.
Draw on some knowledge of ancient music or special timbres.
But what is created is still and must be modern music.
only.
This modern music.
It needs to reflect the ancient culture, charm and texture.
Perhaps, this is ancient style music in the true sense.
""Imperial Mausoleum"!"
Li Jinglin carefully felt the flavor contained in this civilization.
The reason is that there is no melody, harmony, or even sections, phrases, or theme motives.
I started by laying out the rhythm and orchestration.
That's because.
Han Dynasty.
As one of the most magnificent nodes in Chinese history.
A great empire in the East two thousand years ago.
Only the sound of bells and drums can express this majesty and domineering power.
And in majesty and domineering.
How to express the vicissitudes of history spanning two thousand years?
It must be that you need to choose a timbre with enough vicissitudes of timbre.
And throughout the Chinese musical instruments.
The instrument that can best express one of the vicissitudes of life is naturally the xun.
The sound of Xun is very steady and medium-pitched.
For drums, bass was chosen.
As for the embellishment of the treble part, chimes were chosen.
But as a tandem partner with Xun, it contrasts and contrasts.
The best choice is naturally bangdi.
The flute used in northern bangzi opera is short and thin. Compared with the new flute, the sound is high and loud.
"Tsk, if you want to do harmony and string music, you really have to choose the violin."
Li Jinglin smacked his lips.
Harmony is rare in Chinese music.
In large-scale instrumental ensembles, there are also few stringed instruments suitable for harmony.
The sound of the violin is brighter, and with four strings, the range is relatively wide.
Suitable as a foundation for harmony.
The erhu is the main stringed instrument.
The timbre is relatively thinner and softer, which is very unsuitable for harmonious playing, and the volume is also a little on the small side.
In addition, the harmonies are meant to set up the mood, and the vocal range cannot keep up.
I can't play a harmony, so I'll use two erhus instead.
There are thousands of different musical instruments, with even more different emphasis.
In terms of harmony, the violin is naturally more suitable than the erhu.
But because the violin has a fingerboard, the slide and vibrato are limited, and there is a lack of pressure, rubbing and sliding.
This is what gives Li Jinglin a headache.
If you want to express the texture of Chinese music, kneading and slipping are indispensable. If you want to express it, you must find it elsewhere.
There are differences, but no gaps.
“What about the plucked instruments?”
Browse through the timbre selections in the arranging software.
Guzheng, Pipa, Ruan, Zhu, Li Jinglin fell into deep thought.
The sound of the Pipa is also weak, while the sound of the Ruan is much softer. The Zhu is very good and can better show the texture of the Han Dynasty. However, if the Zhu is used, the sound of the metal and stone is a bit overflowing.
For the feeling of gold and stone, it is enough to embellish it with chimes.
Think about it.
Li Jinglin reluctantly gave up building and chose guzheng.
After all, it’s time to do the arranging and orchestration.
It is indeed very easy to have such a "problem".
I like to choose some wonderful, unpopular instruments to create a sense of surprise in tone.
But if it doesn’t match the whole song.
Then we can only reluctantly give up.
"Why."
Smooth out the overall architectural ideas in one go.
When designing the melody.
Li Jinglin felt the pressure on his body begin to increase.
Let’s talk about it from a creator’s perspective.
The more ignorant you are, the more fearless you are.
Creators with mental retardation have absolutely no thought of the word "awe" when creating this type of subject matter.
All I thought was, I felt, it was almost the same.
And when a work like this is made, it is obviously a tribute, but it also feels like a reverse smear.
The more powerful it is.
The pressure in my heart becomes even greater.
Write the voice of the great man!
Li Jinglin was afraid that his music would not be able to express the greatness of this legendary empire.
Everyone says that the Tang Dynasty prospered when the strong Han Dynasty prospered.
If you are a strong man, you must emphasize the word "strong"!
At the very least, you need to make the audience feel "strong" from your music.
then.
After finishing the melody line, think about it carefully.
Li Jinglin quietly turned up the volume of the drum kit.
Adding an extra beat to the drum kit, but elongating the overall line.
Keep making small adjustments.
soon.
This is the final version.
There are many angles to music.
Some are lyrical and some are narrative.
This piece of music.
It completely breaks away from the narrative.
Don’t tell stories!
It just represents a kind of modern people’s impression of the “strong men” from more than 2,000 years ago.
then.
Li Jinglin solemnly typed two words on the title of the work.
"Han Style"!
"Hmm~"
After finishing a song.
Li Jinglin stretched his waist in satisfaction.
After saying goodbye to Lao Huang, he started composing music directly.
After doing this, it was already very dark.
I didn't feel much at all at the time, but now I relaxed and a strong sense of hunger began to spread.
After standing up and moving.
Ordered a takeaway.
Only then did Li Jinglin remember that he wanted to add the creative team, as well as the producer and director.
Log in to social software.
Li Jinglin discovered it.
A bunch of system notifications for adding friends are flashing constantly.
A little too involved at the moment.
Forget about this.
First of all, the director of "Emperor's Tomb", Zhang Jin, was added.
The two identified each other online and said hello to each other.
Zhang Jin tried typing on social software and asked.
[How about it, Professor Li, do you have any ideas? Do you need our cooperation, or come to our creative team to have a look? 】
Zhang Jin at this time.
It was indeed quite exciting.
Please.
Li Jinglin Hey!
Who in the industry doesn’t know.
If he gives music to people, the work has a high chance of becoming popular.
If you can't get popular, then I really suggest you look for your own reasons.
At least the show may not be popular, but his soundtrack will definitely be popular.
have such an impression.
Zhang Jin was naturally very happy to cooperate with Li Jinglin.
Didi didi~
Li Jinglin sent a message.
【"Han Feng".mp3】
"puff!"
Director Zhang, who was drinking water, almost choked the water from his nose onto the screen.
"Cough cough cough!"
Horse riding.
Is this ready-made?
This afternoon, Zhang Jingang received a notification from Mr. Huang that Li Jinglin had agreed to do the soundtrack.
Quite exciting.
But I have never seen success in adding friends.
However, Zhang Jin didn't think much about it.
after all.
In terms of Li Jinglin's identity.
Maybe there is something very important. It's normal to be busy. It's natural that I was delayed a little bit.
as expected.
A bit late though.
But at half past eight in the evening.
The friend information was approved.
Zhang Jin didn't believe him even more.
Brother Lin is indeed a little busy at work, so he is only busy now.
I was very happy at the moment.
All I was thinking about were things like "When will Brother Lin join me?" and "Will he take a look?"
So this question came up.
But.
Li Jinglin did not take the usual path at all.
After a disagreement, as soon as I added a friend, I smashed a piece of music.
Zhang Jin was so surprised that he was really caught off guard.
Didi didi~
[I’m busy working on this this afternoon. Director Zhang, please take a look and see if it’s suitable? 】
[Oh, this is an impression piece that comes from my feelings. As for narrative soundtracks, you really need to look at the whole thing first. 】
Looking at the message sent by Li Jinglin.
Zhang Jin was stunned.
From Li Jinglin's words, several key words were extracted.
"I felt something" and "I did this in the afternoon"
"Good guy, good guy!"
After being a director for such a long time, why hasn’t Zhang Jin seen this? !
Didn’t he just start composing music as soon as he accepted the contract, and then after an afternoon, he added his friends and threw out a song? !
I've never seen this before.
Immediately.
Zhang Jin couldn't wait to open the file.
Start listening to this impression soundtrack called "Han Style".
The flowing guzheng, the steady beat of the drums, and the crisp sound of the chimes.
The xun and the bangdi work in tandem.
The vastness of the Han Dynasty, the majesty of civilization, and the weight of history.
Looking back thousands of years later, all I can see is the majesty and glory of the past century.
The song ends.
I feel deeply for the precious ambition and dignity left by a generation of strong men to Chinese civilization.
There is also a feeling that the prosperity of the past is no longer there, leaving only the ancient tombs for future generations to see.
"marvelous."
Zhang Jin clicked his tongue repeatedly.
Originally, the legend about Brother Lin was indeed widely spread by these directors.
The spread is somewhat evil.
for example.
Just make the music as soon as you say it. It’s fast and of high quality.
It's hard to find fault with it, and it may even make the director feel like, "Does my B-thing deserve this music?"
In the past, Zhang Jin always felt that this might be a bit exaggerated.
But I feel like this today.
MD, you are right, I feel it.
Zhang Jin let out a long breath.
Start typing.
【Any more? Amazing! 】
(delete)
No, this is inappropriate. It’s really not good to say so. After all, it’s only been one afternoon and I’ve just added friends.
Zhang Jin shook his head.
[As expected of Brother Lin, so fierce! 】
(delete delete)
No, this will make me, as a director, not dignified enough. Will it cause Brother Lin to have a bad impression of me?
After all, Brother Lin cannot be judged by his age. To have such a high achievement, he may be a very stable young man.
Maybe he didn't like my tone of voice.
【It’s so suitable. Thumbs up.jpgX3]
I hesitated for a long time.
Zhang Jin's writing finally became emotionless.
But in order not to overdo it, I wanted Li Jinglin to know how satisfied he was.
then.
Added three thumbs up emoticons at the back.
Didi~
Li Jinglin saw Zhang Jin's reply.
Couldn't help but nodded.
From the replies, Li Jinglin felt that he could tell a lot about a person's personality.
It seems that Director Zhang has a very calm character, and he is indeed the character for this kind of historical and cultural documentary.
Immediately.
Li Jinglin based it on Director Zhang's character.
Started replying.
[Then I will go there tomorrow. Smile.jpgX3]
In Li Jinglin’s experience.
When dealing with people who give thumbs up.jpgX3, smile.jpg, that is the most friendly expression.
After all, this is basically the case with the professors who work with me, or the lecturers and instructors.
The expression of a smile is dignified and yet friendly.
very suitable!
Didi~
the other side.
Zhang Jin received the message from Li Jinglin.
"."
Look at this smile x3 reply.
Zhang Jin's eyelids twitched.
This Li Jinglin was indeed as he thought, a serious and serious person, and very calm.
Such people tend not to like particularly playful remarks.
Knew it! I did something right this time!
Zhang Jin sighed.
This man can't just look at appearances.
Who would have thought that a twenty-two-year-old would reply to messages with a smile?
I am forty-two years old and I have already started to use cuteness! !
So Zhang Jin replied.
[Okay, then we are waiting for your arrival, Professor Li. Smile.jpgX3】
