Director Chen wanted to be surprised.
for example.
Another musical image that particularly fits the character's setting?
Or outline the high-burning atmosphere of some famous scenes.
It is more likely to be something relatively novel, such as avant-garde music-style emotional stimulation.
But I never expected it.
Give yourself the first surprise, not the content.
But the special quantity.
Three days.
Seven demos.
Although the duration varies, the short one may be tens of seconds, and the long one may be only two or three minutes, which is a common soundtrack duration.
But he has seven songs.
Take a closer look at the content.
"Lightning Strike", "Deep Dive", "I Light a Fire", "Don't Answer" and "Higher Contact".
Obviously, this is some plot promotion, or some musical "essays" inspired by reading the original text before editing.
Of course, there are also character songs.
Moreover, this character song.
Director Chen took one look at it and couldn't forget it at all.
Even without listening, Director Chen knew that this piece must be a divine piece of music.
This name is very unusual. It not only hints at the direction of the characters and the content of the plot, but also allows people to feel the grandeur of the Gu Zheng plan in the plot from just a mere music name!
Yes.
This song title.
It's called "廻Yinwenqijin".
Moreover, Li Jinglin seemed to be afraid that he would not be able to get this detail.
An English song title was also specially noted.
"丨三\//-\|\|S"
Did Evans get cut off by Operation Guzheng? !
Is this okay for riding on a horse? !
What kind of hell joke is this?
Director Chen didn't hold back immediately.
After his expression changed continuously, he expressed his feelings.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
Fortunately, he was in his own house.
This completely out-of-control laughter did not attract anyone's attention.
"Will it deduct merit if I laugh like this? Hahahaha!"
Director Chen couldn't stop laughing.
Who knew that Li Jinglin could even do Vince Tofu's job?
Click on music.
Listening to this intertwined electronic flow, the sense of depressive tension is very strong, and it really has the quality of watching the guzheng action from a third perspective.
But
"It's over. I can't look straight at this soundtrack anymore."
Director Chen shook his head repeatedly.
"Not polite, so rude."
He smacked his lips.
Director Chen made the decision with great regret.
"Use it!"
soon.
Director Chen, who was in high spirits, opened a group.
In this group, there are all filmmakers, and of course there are also many musicians who specialize in film and television soundtracks.
Immediately, Director Chen began to recruit several old composers.
[I kind of know how scary Li Jinglin is. He sent me one of the soundtracks of "The Three-Body Problem". I was already conquered before I even listened to it. It's a special topic. 】
"?"
Several old composers who were @ also saw this news.
This news is as absurd and outrageous as someone telling you, "I can see you even with my eyes closed."
[Are you kidding me? 】
[You are exaggerating a bit! 】
[Old Chen, are you crazy? 】
[Li Jinglin is indeed strong. We are all convinced. There is really no need to brag like this. 】
[Yes, even Li Jinglin has to start listening to music to judge the message]
【what happened? 】
Looking at the group of friends who suddenly jumped out.
Director Chen laughed.
After Li Jinglin surprised himself, he could no longer suppress the thought of showing off.
Of course, Director Chen is still steady.
This is just a demo.
It cannot be leaked before it is fully produced, reviewed, and released.
Otherwise, no one can guarantee whether someone will take this opportunity to plagiarize, register in advance, and bite back.
Therefore, Director Chen did not send the entire music file to the group.
Instead, I took a screenshot on the spot.
[I won’t lie to you, see for yourself! Picture.jpg]
As soon as this news was sent out.
Suddenly there was a beeping sound.
【.】
【.? 】
[Reasonable, so damn reasonable. 】
[Image, there’s nothing wrong with it, I know what you want to say]
After seeing the title of the song "廻永文千".
The musicians in the group couldn't stand it any longer.
Not just musicians.
All of a sudden.
This interesting incident shocked many group friends.
【Hahahahaha! 】
[What hell joke? 】
[It’s Brother Lin’s style, that’s right. 】
[As expected of Brother Lin, the level of this song is still online. 】
The group suddenly turned into a sea of joy.
Regarding Li Jinglin’s choice of song title.
Everyone in the group knows it.
There is a saying for that!
Whether it is "Ding Feng Bo", "Bright Moon Yin" and "Wind into the Pine" from the Department of Culture.
Or the serious and realistic "Are You a Rapper Too?" ” “Feeling like my body has been hollowed out”.
Or among some interesting easter eggs that were exposed after the broadcast of "The Wandering Earth", it was recorded that "Ten Thousand Essential Oils" and "The Director had to add it in the end" were recorded when Li Jinglin was bored during the soundtrack work.
It's obvious to know.
In terms of naming, Brother Lin had a black hole in his mind.
[There is something wrong, Director Chen, this heat is for nothing. 】
[Hahaha, it’s hard to imagine the mental state of Three Body Book fans when they saw this song title. 】
Look at the replies in the group.
Director Chen, who was pretending to be a big B, smiled with satisfaction.
Shaking his head.
I have calmed down a lot and my mood is peaceful again.
Although I still couldn't help laughing when I saw this song title, I was able to start listening to the inner expression of the music in detail.
after all.
This work definitely gives a lot.
There are plots, scenes, and characters.
But there was another song title that aroused Director Chen's interest.
This is neither a description of the plot nor a description of the characters, nor is it an exaggeration of the atmosphere of the scene.
"insect"!
Director Chen suddenly became serious.
If you have to sum up the entire "Three-Body Problem" in one sentence.
That’s the “struggle of the bug.”
Yes.
Small humans, backward humans, gloomy humans.
In the vast universe, in the suffocating dark forest, in the cracks between the great gods and civilizations competing for hegemony.
A humble desire to survive.
In this process.
For human beings, there are tragedies, vicissitudes, struggles, and ambitions. The historical past scenes are definitely magnificent.
But placed on the scale of the universe, it seems extremely small.
The whole three body.
It was like an ant, facing the scorching sun, waving its tentacles proudly.
soon.
Director Chen clicked on the work.
Listened carefully.
At first.
It's like being in an ethereal universe, where you can see stars and rivers of stars flowing, but the beautiful universe is filled with dead silence. What causes the dead silence is the huge crisis ahead.
as expected.
The music soon cuts into rapid repetition.
A sense of tension keeps building.
When the female voice sings and the brass music continues to rise.
Director Chen felt that his blood was boiling.
"Survive!"
The Trisolarans naturally regard humans on Earth as bugs that can be easily crushed.
However, the three-body honest people do not understand the concept of deception.
Still the bugs found ways to bundle sales.
Humanity still has a glimmer of hope.
this moment.
The lines in the script suddenly flashed in Director Chen's mind.
"Is there a big gap between the technological levels of humans and bugs, or is there a big gap between the technological levels of Trisolarans and us?!"
"For thousands of years, humans have tried every means to eliminate bugs!"
"Use all kinds of poisons!"
"Introducing their natural enemies"
"Burn them with fire! Flood them with water! Bury them with soil!"
"Every home and every office has something that can kill them! To them, these things are nuclear bombs! They are destruction!"
Just as the music is playing.
Director Chen quickly opened the script.
I looked at the lines quietly and imagined the effect after shooting.
Feel this immersive feeling.
"But this long war has been accompanied by the entire human civilization! But the outcome is still uncertain."
"They still walk proudly between heaven and earth, and their numbers are no less than before the emergence of humans."
"The Trisolarans who regard us as bugs seem to have forgotten one fact."
"Insects have never been truly defeated!
Director Chen let out a long breath.
The end of this song.
Director Chen was not expecting it, but he was extremely pleasantly surprised.
As a director, Director Chen often deals with music, so he naturally understands the basics of music.
This song.
In the final ending, the conventional perfect cadence is not used at all!
Instead, there is a semi-final ending during the passage.
It was as if the music stopped halfway.
It doesn't seem too abrupt, but a little bit of cold water poured on a hot flame will still cause white mist to rise, indicating instability.
"This termination is the finishing touch!"
Director Chen became excited.
because.
Actually, at this time.
The first part of "The Three-Body Problem" has come to an end.
The subsequent plot is truly darker, more vast, and more despair-breaking than the imagination.
What does the insect's progress mean to the entire universe?
Constantly exploring the truth of the universe, we continue to discover greater despair. In despair, "bugs" are always tenaciously looking for the direction of survival.
This kind of suspense will even spread until the final ending of the third part.
This kind of semi-termination seems to be the best way to end this first part and this kind of plot.
When the audience sees this, they will be ignited by the plot.
However, when the music makes such a suggestion in the cadence, it will implant a sense of uneasiness in the strong and determined mood.
The audience won't even realize that music has such an effect on them.
However, once you take out the music list and listen to it.
It feels like the music is unfinished and cut off in the middle.
Or I always feel that something is still missing, so that this breath and strength are not completely vented.
It will give people a feeling of "being in trouble".
But this feeling.
But it just arouses the expectations behind it, and it just serves as a metaphor for the entire work.
In other words.
That's it for a while.
Li Jinglin's approach to music is the same as what Liu did at the end of "The Three-Body Problem".
He just didn't say what happened and what the ending was.
The semi-open ending allows you to make your own thoughts.
Whatever you think, that's entirely up to you.
It could be that the ecological ball left by Cheng Xin caused the universe to not be reborn in the end, but the extra words "thank you" to Liu made people think that the rebirth was complete.
However, it can be understood that the rebirth of the universe is incomplete, it is still three-dimensional, continues to expand, and will eventually die.
Or maybe it was successful, but in each reincarnation, the universe was knocked back from the eleventh dimension to the third dimension by war.
Anyway, there is absolutely no definite statement about darkness or light.
As a book fan.
as a listener.
There must be a feeling at such an ending.
[I ride the horse in a hurry, hurry, hurry]
"Tsk, tsk, Li Jinglin. We can't just call him a musician. He is simply a magician who plays with emotions."
Director Chen was simply overwhelmed by Li Jinglin's details.
If you don't know Li Jinglin and know some music.
So let’s analyze it very carefully here.
Not even aware of it at all.
He, Li Jinglin, could actually be in such a majestic mood in the soundtrack of such a high-burning passage.
With such a move, it is difficult for anyone to notice the reversal.
"If Li Jinglin makes horror music, it will definitely scare people to death."
Director Chen couldn't help but shook his head with regret.
After all, at present, horror films are indeed not promoted in China.
The power of music is still very magical.
At a very young age, you may not realize it, but it’s not enough if you don’t.
On a larger scale, it can condense beliefs and inspire emotions.
Director Chen had no doubt.
If there is a suitable script, a suitable scene layout, a suitable atmosphere, and suitable viewing conditions.
Li Jinglin can definitely compose some scary music.
Being able to play with emotions like this.
In fact, this is due to the deep understanding and in-depth understanding of music psychology.
Use the language of music as a medium for psychological suggestion!
the other side.
Li Jinglin never expected that Director Chen would think of him this way.
Although Director Chen did not over-interpret it.
The choice of the final ending of this music is not a coincidence, but there is a reason.
It's nothing more than the difference between an open ending, a suspenseful ending, and a definite ending.
Director Chen's idea is very correct.
I did it intentionally, and it was indeed to highlight the whole "Three-Body Problem".
Music psychology, psychological suggestion to interfere with emotions, is also correct.
but.
These things are in Li Jinglin's world.
[Isn’t it common sense to step on a horse? 】
"Xu Xin, look here, at the end of the same phrase, you can handle it in different ways when playing."
"You can imagine the notes of a musical phrase as a sentence, and your processing is the punctuation mark."
"Using punctuation marks to affect the conveyed content and further affect different emotional experiences is something that a performer needs to think about."
Li Jinglin at this time.
He even wants to start teaching his "emotional magic" to his apprentices.
Xu Xin nodded.
Punctuation can sometimes convey emotion better than words.
The same goes for the performer's expression.
If you can do this well.
So to the ears of the audience, this music is "performed alive".
“Be sure to remember to guide the audience’s emotions!”
"Yeah, I remember it!"
