"Principal Lu wants to score our animated short story. ”

"Having a famous pianist do the soundtrack, our studio is quite wild. ”

"It seems like a good piano tune for an anime. ”

"What nonsense, the soundtrack is the soundtrack, the piano is the piano, the soundtrack is an art, it's better to be cautious. ”

……

The assistants had a lot of discussions, some for and some against, and more than 20 people were gossiping and holding all kinds of opinions.

Don't think that an animation studio with more than 20 people and nearly 30 is a waste, in fact, a little understanding of the animation production process will understand, there are: character design, mechanical modeling design, coloring, color design, storyboarding, special effects, original art guidance and other programs.

Qinglan Studio wants to develop, and there are still few twenty or thirty people.

In addition, from the progress that Lu Shichen is most concerned about, the program is roughly divided into: primary, middle, and post-three phases, and the building block house that is currently recalled has entered the post-production process, and Lu Shichen's goal of passing the final review in a week will be achieved.

"The studio atmosphere was nice. Lu Shichen finally said.

"It's easy to animate, and it's hard to do the process. "Miyazaki says what he is all about.

Lu Shichen couldn't help but think of the four words of corporate culture, maybe it is not valued in China, but it is very concerned abroad or in Japan, anyway, Lu Shichen has heard about the employees of Nintendo and Sega on Earth at the beginning, because of the company's fight.

When the anime entered the later stage, Li Liu and Lan Hang, who belonged to the mid-term coloring work, were idle, so they also ran to the soundtrack.

"I don't know what I think, but there are still people who approve of a layman pianist to make the soundtrack. Lan Hang said angrily: "If it is really any person who can score music." There won't be a dedicated soundtrack academy. ”

"The same cannot be said for the fact that there are a lot of great soundtrack masters who don't have professional training. It depends on the sensitivity of the music. Li Liudao.

"Principal Lu is still suitable to go back to teach students, so don't get involved in anime. Blue Airlines insisted on its point of view. It's not that he has an opinion on Lu Shichen, after all, he has not been in contact, and Lu Shichen himself does not carry an aura of ridicule.

The main reason is that Lan Hang doesn't like it very much, the boss doesn't know what to pretend to understand, and he is very blind to command, he was often disgusted by this kind of brain damage before, so this reaction is normal.

To get back to the point, there are two sound effects in the later stages of the anime, one of which is voice actor dubbing. The second sound, effect and soundtrack, the building block house of memories does not need voice actor dubbing because of its own problems, so it goes directly to the next process.

"It's the best soundtrack out there. Miyazaki said: "I invited a Japanese soundtrack master, but I still feel that something is missing, twelve minutes down, it is still too full, do you need to learn from it when you score it?"

"Let's listen first. "Lu Shichen has an advantage that is not considered an advantage, he is good at listening.

Miyazaki nodded, and pulled up an audio from the computer file. Click Play.

A lossless piece of light music called "Memories" emanates from the stereo, starting with the distant sound of the violin, then fading the violin to add flutes and whistles. The first theme of this soundtrack is the sound of a whistle.

Combined with the plot of the building block house of memories, the leisurely sound of the whistle will not dominate, but also has a good guidance. It is indeed a masterpiece, and the arrangement is also very clever.

Mamoru Oshii said, "Miyazaki-kun." This memory is already quite good as a soundtrack. ”

Satoshi Kon also nodded: "Although the ending is too complete, the quality is already very high." ”

"Just pick this one. Don't bother Lu School. "Katsuhiro Otomo.

Miyazaki stroked his round-framed glasses and didn't say anything, but said: "The ending is too thick, the four instruments of violin, whistle, piano, and flute are intertwined, which is the highlight and defeat of the whole song, just like Kim Minjun said, the ending is too complete, leaving no room for imagination, and it makes me feel that the middle is too overflowing." ”

Satoshi Kon and Mamoru Oshii fell silent on Miyazaki's evaluation, and it was clear that this was indeed a problem.

"Hey, the second-rate director Miyazaki is too strict, and this kind of soundtrack is not good. Blue Air lowered his voice.

Li Liu also nodded in agreement: "The first theme is whistles, and it still feels overflowing, so what kind of instrument do you want?"

Ordinary light music is based on the piano or violin as the first theme, but because of the lack of lines and the special picture requirements for the soundtrack, the sound of the whistle is thin enough.

"I also don't think Lu School is worthy of it. Li Liudao: "It's not that I doubt Principal Lu's strength, it's just that Director Miyazaki's requirements are too high, and the piano that Lu Xiaoxiao is best at has also been restricted." ”

Thinking about it, even the whistle Miyazaki feels too presence, let alone the piano.

Hayao Miyazaki said: "I still look forward to your soundtrack. ”

Lu Shichen nodded and smiled, the original soundtrack was the work of Kenji Kondo, this musician is not famous, and even said that his reputation in China is not high, anyway, if it weren't for the third season of Where Are You Going, Dad, on Earth, he used Kenji Kondo's light music, Lu Shichen didn't know that there was such a person.

Kenji Kondo and Hisahito Kato also collaborated on the anime "A Traveler's Diary", and the soundtrack and work work very well, although it is not a perfect match like Hayao Miyazaki and Hisaishi, but they also complement each other.

"Do you need any cooperation?" Miyazaki asked.

"Not yet. ”

Lu Shichen shook his head, he was already immersed in the music, and it was not easy to recall a thirteen-minute soundtrack.

The soundtrack is not comparable to the music alone, the former is mainly to support the plot, and it fits, so almost all the soundtracks are soundtracks while watching, but Lu Shichen himself is mainly memories, so he recalls the computer, which is more like a daze to outsiders.

Hayao Miyazaki, Platypus, Satoshi Kon, Katsuhiro Otomo, and a group of assistants waited in place like a wooden pestle next to them.

Five minutes...... Ten minutes......

"It's really not good, don't hold on, it's too tiring to wait. Blue Air muttered.

As soon as Lan Hang's voice fell, Lu Shichen suddenly began to act, quiet as a virgin, moving like a rabbit, writing the soundtrack score on the computer.

The memory of the building block house did not release the original soundtrack, so the soundtrack in the anime has no name, it is divided into six sections: opening, rising water, cigarette holder, rewind, together, and closing, the song written by Lu Shichen is 90% similar to the original song, and the other 10% Lu Shichen has made changes, and added wind chimes to the song, according to his current musical accomplishment, not to say that it is better than the original song, but it will definitely not be bad.

"It's done, and I named him 'Building Blocks'. ”

In about three minutes, Lu Shichen finished writing, and the score of the soundtrack was very strange, anyway, Miyazaki held it in his hand and watched it for a long time before he understood it under the explanation.

There is a large blank space in the score, almost half of it is more accurate, and most importantly the guitar and flute, and a lot of electronic synthesizes.

In the eyes of Lan Hang, how do you look like this, broken cans and broken pieces, you must know that the soundtrack with whistle as the first theme has not passed, and you don't need to listen to such a tune, you should pass it directly!

Qinglan Studio is very capable, and in less than half an hour, the sample of the song is made, accompanied by animation, and played......

ps: Chapter 2 listened to the tune loop all night and was a little dizzy, so Chapter 2 will be a little later, about half past twelve. (To be continued......)
