The reason why you need to do fragment music first.

It's because this clip is so unique.

This is a scene in this movie that is easy to stand out.

"Space Elevator"!

The lens language of this space elevator, in Director Guo's design, is a long lens that combines movement, stretching, magnification and other means.

What is a long shot?

There are no transitions.

One shot to the end!

Except for the connecting paragraphs that need to be foreshadowed in the front.

The long shot display of the entire space elevator is as long as 55 seconds!

Obviously, such an important shot design and distribution informed Li Jinglin that this is a huge climax and an important part of driving the audience's emotions.

What Director Guo wants to achieve is to use such a long lens.

Push with a sci-fi romance that reaches the extreme.

Combine music and pictures to achieve the ultimate "audio-visual experience".

Make the whole audience explode.

It's really a top priority.

Pictures, camera techniques, and music are all indispensable.

This is quite a challenge for the soundtrack.

The difficulty is not about how important the shot is, or how handsome it is, and how it should be matched.

Rather, it's another question.

How can we ensure that there are no urine spots at all in these 55 seconds, so that the music and the picture can maintain the "driving force" of the space elevator rising into space in these 55 seconds.

Yes.

Up to 55 seconds, it has been continuously pushing the back.

It is necessary to use pictures, shots, music, through auditions, using synesthesia.

The "push-back feeling" of the space elevator is also brought to the audience.

"Brother Lin? Is it hard? ”

To say that the person here who knows Li Jinglin's strength in music best is undoubtedly Huang Jun.

Huang Jun has also observed Li Jinglin's composition scene many times.

But it's rare to be able to show such an excited expression.

Almost as long as you show such an expression, it means that the task is difficult and very achievable.

But it also represents the birth of god-level music.

"Well, it's really difficult."

Li Jinglin nodded.

"This shot is too long, 55 seconds, but there is no urine point, and almost every frame can have the ultimate visual impact."

"Music is an art with ups and downs, and it's not easy to work well with it."

If it's an ordinary person, come and see.

You may think.

It's not that hard.

Wouldn't I just just ignite it?

But no.

The emotional impact of music is far more complex than you might think.

Why can music be emotionally impactful?

Among them, one of the most important influencing factors.

It's "contrast"!

Almost everyone knows that if you write a beautiful character and then give her a knife, if you handle it well, the strong contrast will form a huge contrast and make the mood fluctuate a lot.

And that's it.

It's the same with music.

In music, emotions can rise and fall with the music.

It is precisely because of the "contrast".

This contrasts.

It includes the contrast of color in major and minor keys, the contrast between the warm and cold timbre of the instrument, the contrast between the light and dark of the chords, the contrast of the volume and the magnitude of the volume, and the contrast between the rhythm and the tension.

And so on and so forth.

But now that there are these contrasts.

That's why good music is never static.

The reason why many people feel that some pop music is too boring to listen to, or inexplicably unhappy.

It is precisely because it is too formulaic that it is immutable.

There are ups and downs, and there are ups and downs.

It's hard to even imagine a musician with an ordinary point.

What kind of music can continue to bring the audience a "sense of pushing back" in a time of up to 55 seconds.

But if there is too obvious a contrast in 55 seconds, it is easy for the audience to feel that the process of continuous ascension to heaven in these 55 seconds is not as violent as imagined.

But once the contrast is missing, it can quickly make people feel tired.

For the first time the aesthetic fatigue of music affects the subconscious emotions to push the time limit.

That's certainly well below the 55 second length.

It's like any burst of music.

It's hard to have 55 seconds on a high-burning paragraph.

This is the reason why Li Jinglin is interested.

I wanted the music to be contrasting, but it had to give the audience a feeling of pushing back for 55 seconds.

Let's look at the creation of music.

At least at first glance.

This is a paradoxical proposition.

It's like my wife wants you to slow down, and wants you to push harder, or wants you to be faster, and wants you to be lighter.

If the level is not enough, then the soundtrack will be absolutely mediocre.

But it's mediocre, which is obviously unacceptable to Director Guo.

Because.

This is a 55-second long shot.

Cost per second.

Starting at 300,000.

smashed into more than 10 million shots, the requirements of music are naturally extremely strict.

"So. I'll just say, it's difficult. ”

Li Jinglin explained in detail.

Everyone nodded knowingly.

After all, who isn't already a filmmaker?

Filmmakers may not understand music, but they must know some soundtracks.

It's not hard to explain.

"Don't say it, as soon as you explain it like this, I suddenly feel that it is indeed contradictory!"

Sha Yi frowned.

"It's like having to have ups and downs, and you have to keep going up the stairs."

"You're right."

Li Jinglin smiled.

"There's this paradox in geometry, it's called the Penrose step."

"You're going up, but the steps are end-to-end."

"It looks like you're climbing all the time, but in fact the level is the same."

"I know this!"

Sha Yi's eyes lit up.

"Isn't this Inception?"

"yes, that's it."

Li Jinglin nodded.

"The Soul Hanging Ladder described in the Ghost Blowing Lantern is also such a structure."

The crowd was immediately interested.

I also felt the difficulty of composing music more intuitively.

"In other words, you need to achieve a Penrose step in the music?"

Director Guo frowned and thought about it.

"Probably so. The music actually has ups and downs, but it gives the feeling of being constantly upward? ”

"Or is it a delusion?"

"Well, almost."

Li Jinglin nodded.

In fact, while knowing the task, Li Jinglin had already done a good job of structuring.

The principle is actually quite simple.

Take advantage of the octave relationship.

do, and soprano do.

The sound is completely similar, only the feeling is different.

Under the interspersed collocation of different musical instruments, it is not only similar, but also possible to confuse high and low.

The octave relationship and the homophony of different instruments are used to connect the beginning and end of the instrument.

The result is a texture that looks like the music is climbing, but in fact the pitch is spinning in place within the octave.

Forming an auditory ghost hitting the wall.

It is also the "Penrose Steps" in the field of music.

Li Jinglin's determination made everyone feel a burst of surprise.

Illusion.

It even sounds like a musical illusion.

As everyone knows.

Illusion, illusion.

Play these things, whether it's in anime, movies, or games.

That's basically all high-IQ characters who can play.

At the very least, it has to be quite "spiritual" or "intellectual" attributes.

For example, Aizen in "Bleach ", Uchiha Itachi in "Hokage", and Rokudo Skeleton in "Governess".

In addition to the wonderful "JOJO".

And I want to play this hand in the production of music.

It's a bit outrageous.

That's how outrageous it is.

If you tell this requirement to the soundtrack people in the industry.

It's not that others can't do it.

But it's definitely going to give you a headache for a while.

“.”

Glancing at everyone.

Li Jinglin pursed his lips.

I still put what I wanted to say in my stomach.

Actually.

The music needs to be emotional.

This is a constant push back feeling.

There is also an additional layer of "insurance treatment".

This "insurance processing" bar is very subtle and interesting, but it is not very convenient to say.

It's not a trade secret.

If I have to say it.

Another easy-to-understand way to describe it is .

"Inch Challenge".

Yes.

Although outrageous.

But it's really figurative.

One inch, two inch, three inch.

It constantly drops back to 0 at the critical node where it is charged to 70%, and then rises and falls back again.

Form an "inch stop".

Everyone who loves to play DIO should know it.

The harder you hold it, the more you can't stop

The longer the process lasts.

Then, the longer the duration of the outburst of emotion.

It's completely possible to do more, or even all the time, and you can't stop at all.

This can make the expression of the complete ascension in the long shot simpler.

Although, it's somewhat incredible how these two things are connected.

But the end of this world

Still nervous.

Of course, there's more to it than that.

After a little chat, Li Jinglin retrieved the documents, temporarily returned to the hotel to settle down, and prepared to have dinner with everyone.

Li Jinglin already had quite a few thoughts in his mind.

Similar to using the friction tone of the Dubstep electric drum to create a friction sensation that is similar to metal, but completely different from metal.

It can even hint at the carbon nanotubes made of this space elevator.

Yes, sound can not only express the sense of technology, but even any technology can express it for you.

Steam tech sense and cyber tech, space tech

A variety of different senses of science and technology are expressed through the "sense of material" of music.

With all kinds of ideas, Li Jinglin walked into the box booked by Director Guo.

"Okay, Lao Li, don't think about music for the time being, drink less today."

Director Guo smiled and patted Li Jinglin's shoulder.

The party is not big, and it is not a "dinner".

That is, with Director Guo, Sha Yi, Wu Jing, Huang Jun, and a few others, chat and drink casually.

Sha Yi was taken aback by Li Jinglin at first.

At first, it was a bit reserved.

After all, the name of the person, the shadow of the tree.

But after three rounds of wine and getting more and more familiar, Sha Yi was surprised to find out

This "demon in the entertainment industry" is actually the best person to get along with.

There is no need to think about the twists and turns in the entertainment industry at all, and it is very comfortable to go straight.

Smacked his lips.

Sha Yi felt it again.

The real pathology is just the entertainment industry.

If you put the space elevator as a clip, you can match it with other high-burning music.

Many people will feel that it doesn't taste like that, or even feel inferior to the original song.

Actually, it's not a question of whether the music is good or bad.

Rather, as I said in the article, the emotional contrast of the music is contradictory to the feeling of pushing back for 55 seconds.

For example, a toothpick can't be used in a vat.

And it is precisely because this soundtrack is very unique and very subtle, so it is quite suitable for any roller coaster, high-speed rail, train, airplane and other high-speed, long-term sports things.

It's because the music has a long-lasting sense of pushing back.
