Although Liao Changyong is an old guy.

But it definitely retains a youthful appearance while also retaining a youthful heart.

Although it seems that Liao Changyong will be the kind of person who will scold when he sees a child playing a game. But in fact, Liao Changyong is the kind of parent who plays with his children very openly.

It turns out that human beings have been in pursuit of pleasure all their lives since they were born.

It is often said to be "cool".

What is Cool?

Many people think that it is the miraculous feeling brought about by the secretion of dopamine.

But that's not all.

Except for the most basic direct stimuli, such as eating sugar, sleeping, and sleeping with people.

The release of inner emotions and thoughts in artistic creation can achieve a kind of psychological healing.

Ideas and values activate brain circuits and form a dominant pleasure effect.

Games and competitions will generate happiness through clearance, rewards, games, and confrontations, and will bring an extremely strong sense of control.

Since the essence of human beings is the pursuit of happiness.

So as long as it does not violate basic morality, does not go to extremes, and does not cause harm.

The essence of the game is really nothing.

It's no different from beautiful things, books and paintings, and if you come across a healthy and good game, it's even more beneficial than many fathers who smoke and drink and other pleasure-seeking behaviors.

Naturally, there is no need to demonize it and see it as a beast of prey.

For vulgar games, it is necessary to crack down on inducing consumption, but the real way to crack down is not to blindly kill, but to support excellent games, because most players are not stupid, and if they are vulgar, they will be disgusting, and if they consume high, they will be uncomfortable.

Any player who has experienced glitz and glamour will eventually return to gameplay.

And the reason why it is said that games are the ninth art.

And not just because it can carry quite a wide variety of arts.

More importantly, in the way of stimulating emotions and bringing happiness, it can make people's understanding and cognition of art invisibly higher and more acceptable.

Here's an example

If you ask people to look directly at beautiful landscape paintings, many people may just look at them twice, and they don't have any particularly strong feelings.

But what about once it's in the game?

When using the energy and wisdom of the whole body, after the success of the hard battle against the dragon.

Then you can see the beautiful scenery and exquisite artwork like the real scene.

At that moment, the seeds of art and aesthetics were quietly planted.

Just like the Elden Ring login screen.

There is only the name of the game, and a few simple options.

It was pitch black, and the golden magic ring pattern was not very obvious.

But why here.

Can music give people a very strong shock, make the player's blood boil, and instantly have the interest of challenge?

Because players are here to play games.

Many players even know that the road ahead is magnificent.

Everyone prepares to adventure in a fantasy world, ready to use gorgeous magic and take on the challenges of demigods.

I was already excited.

That's when the excitement of art reaches its peak.

"Well, I have to say, games are really one of the best carriers of music"

Liao Changyong couldn't help but nodded.

Said approvingly.

"It's a lot more fun than just listening to the music dryly."

Heard Liao Changyong's words.

Li Jinglin bowed slightly.

It also makes people feel the beauty of music.

But intuitive appreciation, too much need for thresholds.

What about indirect appreciation in games?

It seems that there is little effect in the short term, but what about once you play the game for a long time?

Playing a 20-hour game and being influenced by music is no less effective than listening to music for two hours.

When you listen to some good game music often, you will always have a strong memory.

Aesthetics have always been cultivated by similar means, if you can't feel the shock brought by beauty, where will there be any so-called "aesthetics"?

The so-called aesthetic level comes from knowledge and cognition, but many people do not realize that the pursuit of knowledge and cognition, the essence of which is still the pursuit of a kind of happiness, a different kind of happiness.

The search for happiness always comes faster than mechanical, purposeful ascension.

Xuejia said that he was very puzzled by Xueba's love of learning, but as everyone knows, Xueba has reaped the happiness of challenge, the happiness of successful victory in solving problems, and the happiness of superiority of "others will not will".

"Don't talk about your art yet, the game is about to begin."

Yu Ze couldn't help but tease.

angrily pouted at the big screen in front of Luo Shiyao.

At this point, you have reached the screen to select a character.

Of course, the role does not have much effect, but the initial attribute point distribution is different, in fact, even if you choose a swordsman, you can quickly become a mage in the early stage, and if you choose a mage, you can also become a swordsman quickly in the early stage.

The main thing is that it's a little useful, but it's not much, at most it makes you smooth out in the early stage.

So, Luo Shiyao confidently chose the destitute start of [Useless People].

Laughing to death.

The old lady is the one who smashed the Valkyrie, and if you want to choose, you can choose the most exciting.

Click to enter the game, and after a casual face-pinching session.

The game goes into the opening CG.

"Fallen leaves bring news"

"The Great Elden Ring, Shattered"

The CG at the beginning slowly narrates the story of the game.

It's narrated, but it doesn't seem to be narrated.

Quite a riddler.

Although I am confused, some of the information and settings revealed are still very attractive.

"Huh? Again, this theme is motivated. ”

Liao Changyong listened to the opening song of "The Ring" for the first time, but he still felt it keenly.

Although this song is completely different from the login song.

However, there is a theme motive in the background music of the login.

Although it is deformed, the analysis of the motive of this theme is not difficult for Liao Changyong.

couldn't help but glance at Li Jinglin in surprise.

"Is this melody a description of the motivation of the Elden Ring object itself?"

"Huh? My dear dean, might you guess too? ”

"Haha! It's kind of interesting! ”

Look at Li Jinglin's expression of "I don't say it, you understand it yourself".

Liao Changyong suddenly became interested.

Thereupon.

I opened the game on the computer next to me and found the digital music album of the Digital Deluxe Edition.

After clicking in, I listened to the login music again.

The name of this logged music is "Elden Ring"!

Elden Ring

After a muffled sound, the harp's unique timbre builds a mystical color.

But before he could enjoy the melody closely, the rapid and restless strings instantly pushed upward.

After a roar, the heavy drum beat suddenly and forcefully played.

Liao Changyong raised his eyebrows.

Press and hold the pause and look at Li Jinglin.

"This opening harp is a unique motive, but sliced out."

"It's an image, right?"

"Awesome."

Li Jinglin nodded.

Not to mention, the problem can be realized from the beginning, and it is obviously not just a matter of musical strength.

The main thing is still an understanding.

Liao Changyong knows too well what kind of detail madness Li Jinglin is, and it is impossible to say that there is no design concept at the beginning.

In fact, Liao Changyong's guess was completely correct.

This sliced, seemingly unfinished motive is the part of the theme motive of "Elden's Beast" in the second phase of "The Final Battle".

After a sharp string transition.

This is followed by an extremely powerful melodic theme motive.

immediately suppressed Liao Changyong.

Such momentum and power, a magnificent and powerful chorus.

Intense and gripping heavy drums.

It's as if it's almost telling the listener directly.

——

You're about to face the gods, and you're about to embark on an epic journey like no other!

"I guess the motive here must be with the most crucial villain in the game. In other words, it is related to the most critical boss. ”

Liao Changyong analyzed thoughtfully.

looked at Li Jinglin.

Sure enough, Li Jinglin nodded.

Liao Changyong guessed exactly right!

This is the stage of the boss at the end, the motivation of the Golden Law Radagaon!

This is the last battle the player faces in the entire game.

And the last battle was divided into two.

Therefore, this login music, in addition to bringing a sense of immersion, previews this magnificent game journey.

The final boss is also hinted at.

This is a god full of power, and behind this god, there seems to be a mysterious existence represented by a harp.

"It's really really. That's great. ”

Liao Changyong admired.

Even Liao Changyong, who is really not interested in computer games, also has a sense of anticipation when he hears such a shocking login music.

It's so good to listen to!

"And, I seem to feel it, threading the needle."

Liao Changyong pinched his chin.

Said thoughtfully.

"It's even an echo that runs through the entire game."

"Haha, Lao Liao, you're really right."

Li Jinglin smiled and nodded.

If you play the game, it is not difficult to come to this conclusion.

But this Liao Changyong listened to it for the first time, and even only listened to one login music, so he came to this conclusion.

It can only be said.

At the same time, he is very familiar with his own creative habits.

"Keep going, I'd like to hear what you're doing later!"

Liao Changyong's interest doubled.

Still don't really want to play the game though.

But I really want to go to the "cloud" for a while.

Learn about the game's background, story development, character relationships, and more.

I want to see how Li Jinglin uses music to echo the characters and settings created by Martin, the world view, and the story curve arranged by the old thief.

And so.

Li Jinglin found the staff.

Specially prepared some unpacking files inside the game for Liao Changyong.

CG and music in the game.

and some artwork.

Li Jinglin glanced to the side, Luo Shiyao had already entered the game and was ready to start at any time, and was exploring.

And here, Liao Changyong once again found the opening CG and music of the game just now.

Combined with some art design drawings, I enjoyed it again with full interest.

Everyone had a pleasant arrangement.
