There wasn't much music played during the Game of the Year reveal.
But as a musician with excellent quality, he can still hear a lot of information from limited musical materials.
This is not how fantasy Li Jinglin is.
In fact, for musicians, the meaning of abstract language contained in music is so clear that it can be clearly seen unless special techniques are used to hide it.
There is a saying.
"Works can reflect the essence of a person."
This is not true at all.
The reason why it can reflect the essence of a person is precisely because it can clearly perceive the content expressed by music, and the content extends to thoughts.
Maybe for ordinary people.
What a certain piece of music depicts seems very abstract, and you need to rely on your own understanding and imagination.
But look at it from Li Jinglin’s perspective.
It's as if all the notes have been clearly made.
"End Credits"
From the production point of view, this song is very easy to analyze.
It was during the short climax of about 30 seconds.
It can be heard very clearly that the female voice is the main part.
Moreover, after special processing, it appears extremely long and not particularly conspicuous.
Behind the female voice's singing, there are high-pitched string strings that entangle the female voice's path with the same melody, and after the female voice disappears, it still plays the role of the last wave of mood-raising.
This kind of technique is actually quite superfluous in the creation of music.
If we do not consider musical expression and only discuss it from a basic sense of hierarchy, there is a kind of "female voice can be the protagonist, but the strings have to grab the lead" and "if the strings are the protagonist, the female voice seems superfluous."
It's as if the female voice was originally the protagonist, but a second female violinist and string strings came out, jumping out and constantly stealing the show.
Obviously.
Such processing.
In a sense, it is not the optimal solution.
The level of music is very important. Generally speaking, the contrast is between treble and bass, sharpness and thickness, ethereal and solid.
Female voice, violin-based high-pitched strings.
These two timbres actually play very similar roles in guiding emotions.
There are just some texture differences.
Just take the simplest example.
When Li Jinglin was composing music.
Whether it is the clips of Eldenmon in the final battle or the music of the second stage of Valkyrie, the dual circuits of violin and vocals are used at the same time. However, these dual circuits support each other and are intertwined and elevated.
Two lines are not chosen to proceed simultaneously with one melody.
And Li Jinglin knew that with such a design, it was obviously impossible for him to be the music producer Shabi.
It's not because of this music game that it won the TGA's Best of the Year.
This conclusion can only be drawn from other fragments of information played at the same time.
First up is the brass.
In this melody, the brass is very, very solid in making a steady and unchanging rhythm as a base.
This creates a change.
It seems like female voices and strings are flying in the sky.
But there are regular, stable steps formed by brass music at your feet.
Two very feminine instruments dominate the melody, while a masculine instrument serves as a step.
Anyone can clearly imagine such a scene.
On the shoulders of a father, his wife is on the left and his daughter is on the right.
As for the female voice and the high-pitched string music, based on the image of the wife and daughter, a mother and daughter, there is no sense of "stealing the scene" between each other.
It's more like a mother flying in the sky with her daughter, supported by her father.
The reason why a combination that is obviously not so harmonious can be very harmonious is precisely because of this technique. It is almost as clear as telling you directly that "this song is about family emotions."
And what about the drum kit?
The drum set is even more interesting.
From a musical perspective, this choice of timbre, together with the brass, maintains the overall stability of the bass part of a piece of music.
Through the changing rhythm, a subtle chemical reaction is formed with the unchanging stability of the copper pipe.
This changing rhythm can easily give people a brief, fleeting sense of "danger" and "fall".
But soon the rhythm and brass music will return, bringing peace of mind.
This is a sign of the stumbling blocks in life.
If there was no change in the drum set, then the melody of this piece of music would never be able to produce "moving" emotions in such a simple way.
so.
In the "character sense" that is obviously different but full of character characteristics.
There are no secrets in this music.
Li Jinglin naturally knew that the soundtrack must serve the subject itself.
So, the reason why this composer designed it this way must be due to the characteristics of the game.
Especially this obvious character metaphor that couldn't be more obvious.
Li Jinglin can know clearly.
This musician is truly amazing and, most importantly, has such a pure heart.
If the creator is not pure in heart, the music will not be clean.
How could such a clear melody be created by someone with a turbid heart?
See words like people.
Hearing the music and understanding the heart.
This musician must be very pure.
Li Jinglin naturally became very interested in "Two People Come Together".
Just as the producer was giving an excited speech, Li Jinglin turned on his phone and started searching for content about "Two People Go Together".
But this search.
I started to have some doubts about life.
At least the comments I see now are a bit different from what Li Jinglin expected.
【Friend's Death Device】
【Girlfriend Deplastizer】
[If you want to break up with her, then take her to play as a couple. If you want to take her relationship to a deeper level, then take her to play as a couple]
[This game is very dangerous. If good brothers start playing together, they may become better buddies. They may become friends, but the most terrifying thing is that they may become lovers.】
"?"
Li Jinglin scratched his head.
It was an unprecedented feeling that my imagination had been challenged.
I can understand all the above.
What the hell is it like to be a couple with a good brother?
"so weird."
Li Jinglin wrinkled his nose and twitched the corners of his eyes.
"Take another look."
[As a two-player game, please cherish your partner who can accompany you through the level, whether he is your friend, relative, or lover, whether he is a man or a woman. 】
[My friends and I were laughing the whole time and making fun of each other, but by the end we were all silent. 】
[I really feel the hard work of the game production team. This game taught me to never let down the people who love you. 】
【This is a game that can tell whether you love her or not, and whether she loves you. 】
The comments are indeed more serious.
But it always seems to be a bit outrageous.
It's hard to imagine what kind of game could deserve such a statement.
However, Li Jinglin did not express doubts.
Again.
Music can reveal a lot of things.
Even if it is just a fragment, a moment comes from the instinctive dismantling of the musical structure.
From the perspective of music production ideas, we can already roughly understand what the game wants to express.
However, there may be errors in cognitive details, which you need to experience for yourself.
"Actually, I have always believed that games are more than just games. Sometimes, games should interact with reality. A good family game can enhance each other's feelings."
The speech from the production team on stage made Li Jinglin raise his eyebrows.
Out of curiosity, he remembered the name of the game and planned to go back and play it with Luo Shiyao.
The gold content of this year’s TGA Game of the Year.
Just experience it for yourself.
"This year, many excellent games were born."
After a long award ceremony.
Various awards also went to various families.
The host summed it up on the stage, and people from major game manufacturers in the audience also had different moods.
Everyone wants to make a game that truly touches the soul, is fun, and has high artistic value.
But there is no perfect thing in this world. Everyone is just on different roads, rushing towards the unreachable perfection.
Even though I was nominated, I was a little disappointed that I didn't win the award.
But we can see all kinds of ideas and feedback on all kinds of games in front of the public.
You can still learn a lot.
Leo sighed.
Ubisoft's games are a bit special. Assassin's Creed has become an unforgettable memory in the hearts of countless players, with solid materials, rigorous design, and ultimate art and music.
It can be said that Ubisoft's games are works of art.
But from a player's perspective, there are quite a few problems.
And what about Miyazaki Eika?
FS club is not very big.
The game is really fun. It has created a unique game category and can even be considered a legend in the industry.
But in terms of technical capabilities, there is indeed a gap compared with major manufacturers.
And what about some big manufacturers that are very good in terms of gameplay, technical capabilities, and art, etc., and are very NB?
The expenditure invested is too much.
The trade-off between artistry and commerce has always been the biggest problem.
It's almost the same as music.
It requires both commercialism and artistry. Continuous exploration and finding balance are what creators have been doing.
"But we know that next year, there will be more great games, and we are full of expectations."
A word from the host.
Li Jinglin's attention was immediately attracted again.
He and Miyazaki Eika looked at each other and immediately became serious.
Leo felt sour when he saw the two of them suddenly sitting upright.
"Next, what we want to announce is the Most Anticipated Game Award!"
The host points to the big screen.
CGs of the nominated games began to flash on the screen, and their theme music played.
We will introduce in turn the games that will be launched next year and are highly anticipated by players.
Even netizens became excited at this time.
The scrolling speed of the barrage is not inferior to that of "Two People", which won the best award of the year!
After all, almost all of the most anticipated games are the most promising contenders for next year's TGA annual award!
Moreover, these games appeared together.
It's like a fight between gods!
