Chapter 225: Making a Big Deal

When it comes to the games of Glorious Company, there are only two things that are most impressive. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

First, it is exquisite 2D art, especially the heads, busts and full-body portraits of famous characters, which are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also often highlight the character's temperament, personality and many other characteristics.

The second is the soundtrack that is musically full of charm and can appropriately set off the atmosphere of the game's environment.

The art style is skipped here, and when it comes to the glorious game soundtrack, there are two great gods that have to be mentioned.

That is Suga (pronounced "sharp") Yoko Nono and Kenji Kawai.

These two are known as Japan's top musicians with a glorious soundtrack, but both of them have achieved far more than the glorious game itself.

Yoko Kanno was the main music producer for the early Glorious Games, including the soundtracks of the Genghis Khan series, the Age of Exploration series, and the Sixth Day Demon King series. Subsequently, she was involved in the music production of dozens of animation, film and television dramas as a composer, arranger and producer, among which the more famous major representative works include "Macross Plus" (animation OVA), "Ghost in the Shell stand_alone_plex" (animation series), "turn_a Gundam" (animation series), "Gold Coin of the Stars" (TV series), "Shimotsuma Monogatari" (movie), etc.

In addition, she also worked as a music producer for pop singers such as Kyoko Koizumi and Miki Imai, and personally discovered Maaya Sakamoto, a versatile artist who successfully transitioned from voice actor to singer.

Her last time as a game music producer was four years ago in the famous Korean online game Ragnarok 2 (RO2).

So Kim Yeon-jung is no stranger to Yoko Kanno, and after listening to it for more than ten seconds, he couldn't help but ask, "Is this the work of Kanno's predecessors?"

Without waiting for Duan Shanshan to speak, she hesitated and shook her head and said: "The style is a little close, but if you listen carefully, there is a big difference, it shouldn't be the work of Kanno's predecessors, but it may have something to do with her." ”

Duan Shanshan secretly stuck out his tongue, this director Jin didn't guess wrong at all, as a relatively late glorious game, the music producer of "Sixth Day Demon King Online" was not Yoko Kanno, but Kenji Kawai. However, Yoko Kanno's previous stylistic design for the early works of "The Sixth Heavenly Demon King" will certainly not deviate too far as a sequel.

Kenji Kawai is another Japanese composer and music producer who is not inferior to Yoko Kanno. Its more well-known masterpieces include the theatrical version of "Ghost in the Shell", "Gundam 00", "Midnight Bell", "Killing City" and so on.

Don't question whether Kawai, a Japanese man, can make music that is close to the style of the Celestial Empire, you must know that the soundtracks of the Celestial Empire movies "Ink Attack", "Seven Swords" (Tsui Hark version) and "Ip Man" are all written by this person.

"The Sixth Day Demon King Online" has dozens of original soundtracks, and Duan Shanshan naturally does not play them one by one, but chooses the music soundtracks that he feels are closer to the background music needs of "Six Tribulations". For example, the Heavenly Shinto Dao chooses the song "D203 Divine", while the Earth Immortal Dao chooses "D210 Zhixing", the Bodhisattva Dao is "D201 Purity", the Human Dao is "D112 Prosperity", the Demon Spirit Dao is "D107 Forest", and the Netherworld Dao is "D114 Ghost......

"It's great, I have a lot of ideas, and you have helped me a lot. After listening to the six original soundtracks, Kim Yeon-jung's eyes flashed with eagerness, "By the way, these songs should also be the soundtrack of a certain game, right?

"These are the original soundtracks of the game of "The Sixth Day Demon King OL", and they should be the work of Mr. Kenji Kawai. Duan Shanshan replied frankly, "If Director Jin is familiar with Japanese film and television dramas and animation, you should not be unfamiliar with this name." ”

"It turned out to be Kawai-senpai!" Kim Yeon-jung suddenly realized, "You ask me if I'm familiar with Japanese film and television dramas and animation?" hahaha, you may not know that I was born in Japan, and I spent more time in Japan than in South Korea before I was admitted to Berkeley......"

"It's no wonder that I always feel that the two songs "The World Reunion" and "Girls' Generation", which I sang when I was a child, are very close to the style of Japanese cartoon music, so it turned out to be like this...... That makes sense. Duan Shanshan smiled dumbly.

It has been two months and a year since I first heard the song "The World Meets Again" at the Pizza Hut restaurant, and this doubt has only now been broken.

"You guessed it, these kids were high school students at the time, and the company had a long-term plan for them to go to Japan. So I did borrow a lot of cartoon elements from the composition and arrangement of the two songs that were tailored for them......" Kim Yeon-jung smiled and nodded, and then asked a key question, "The original soundtracks of these games you gave me are generally oriental, but there is no obvious Japanese or Celestial brand...... Can I understand that?"

"Yes, after all, our game is not only for the Celestial Empire market, but will definitely be operated in South Korea, and maybe Japan if possible. So what we wanted in terms of music was something that made people feel like 'this must be an East Asian classical style,' and they felt intimacy, but it didn't clearly have the distinctive characteristics of a particular country. Not only that, we hope that we will not add instruments with too strong ethnic styles in the arrangement, but mainly use more popular instruments such as flutes, flutes, and drums. Duan Shanshan verified Kim Yeon-jung's statement.

In fact, Duan Shanshan played the original soundtracks of the game just now, and they basically all met this standard.

"Okay, that's fine. Duan Planning, now I'm going to get to work. I may always have some inspiration to share with you, or something on the details of the music that I need your input on. If possible, I hope you will be able to stay nearby during the next few working days...... Is that okay?" Kim Yeon-jung smiled apologetically, "There's a small reception room next door to my office, which is usually empty, so you can stay there and rest." Or, take a walk around our company building, as long as you don't bother the idols and trainees. ”

The so-called game planning is not to write down the ideas in your head into a document and then hand it over to other departments to implement, just sit in the planning department and wait for others to deliver the results to your door. Going to other departments to follow up on the implementation of the planning document occupies much more importance in the planning work than the completion of the planning document itself. This is what "execution" refers to.

Whether it is the previous planning section to follow up on art resources or program functions, or now Liu Kewei and Duan Shanshan are separately following up the completion progress of sound effects and music, they all give priority to solving all kinds of doubts raised by each other as soon as possible.

The only difference is that the music and sound effects are produced by the relevant production units, not under the threesome studio, but outside the studio.

After almost a year as a game planner, Duan Shanshan has long been accustomed to this, so he agreed without hesitation: "Okay, but I have to go to Jin Productions first and talk to him about the arrangement of "Burning Heart with Fire......"

Kim Yeon-jung naturally knew that he was referring to her husband Kim Jung-bae, although she was also interested in arranging the song. But after all, I can't spare time, and besides, the person who was designated by the company to arrange the music is not an outsider, but my husband, so I don't have anything to worry about.

So Kim Yan-jung pointed out Kim Jung-bae's office location to Duan Shanshan, and waved his hand to let him go.

Duan Shanshan put his travel bag on his back and said goodbye to Jin Yanzheng while retreating and leaving.

As soon as he went out, he almost collided with a petite figure who came in a hurry......

"Taeyeon-se, why are you here? Didn't Director Jin say that you have a group trip today?" Duan Shanshan stopped and asked in surprise.

Don't look at the fact that singing and dancing on the stage when you are young seems to be very energetic, in fact, most people are not very good in physical fitness or sports. Needless to say, Jessica's motor nerves, so-young's longest leg but the lowest in the team, and Taeyeon's famous "paper man".

Maybe it was because he was walking too fast before, Taeyeon was gasping a little hard at this time, and after a "na" sound, it took a long time before he spoke.

"We just came back. ”

There was a vending machine on the side of the road, Duan Shanshan took out a banknote, bought two cans of coffee, handed one to Taeyeon casually, and said, "Are you coming to Director Kim? I just finished talking to her about the game soundtrack, and she is in the office at this moment." ”

Taeyeon hesitated for two seconds before taking the coffee and saluting, "Thank you, but I'm not here to find Director Kim." I heard Yanping Oba say, your studio has decided to hand over that song to me to cover?"

"Well, that's right. Duan Shanshan nodded blankly, "If you come to me to confirm this matter, then rest assured, it is you who have already decided." When you have time, prepare well, practice the Chinese pronunciation of lyrics, and the rest should not be difficult for you. ”

Taeyeon didn't say a word, and a standard 90-degree bow startled Duan Shanshan.

"Hey, Taeyeon-seo, what are you doing here?"

"Kangsang Hamida, because of your recommendation by Duan Planner, I have the opportunity to cover this time. I want to invite Duan to plan you for a meal privately, and I hope you don't shirk. Taeyeon looked up and said sincerely.

"It's not going to be such a fuss, right?" Duan Shanshan was a little dumbfounded, and waved his hand again and again, "I just think it's most suitable for you to cover it, so I recommend you, it's just my job, and I don't need to thank me at all." Besides, the final decision was made by me, Liu Production, and Che Procedure, and it was not my choice alone. ”

"But the first person to recommend me was you. Don't you claim to be my Yinhan, don't you want to refuse if your idol wants to invite you to dinner?" Taeyeon said after thinking for a moment, with a sly and smug smile.
