The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 241 Symphony Feast
Chen Jingxing attaches great importance to the soundtrack of "Gravity", and insists on using acoustic instruments to complete the soundtrack, instead of the electronic synthesis mode that the soundtrack in general movies relies on.

In fact, the soundtrack of the original movie is performed in this way. The orchestral symphony performed by the top orchestra, the majestic momentum and the background sound effect are perfectly integrated, which can not only highlight the vastness and emptiness of the universe, but also shock and touch the hearts of the audience. It adds a lot of color.

Of course, the most shocking part of the soundtrack of "Gravity" is still at the end. The high-pitched, beautiful, sacred and penetrating female voice and the surging orchestra complete the entire sublimation of the movie.

In Chen Jingxing's version, the vocals will be done by Han Hong.

Inviting the National Center for the Performing Arts Orchestra is actually not as expensive as Chen Jingxing imagined before. It may be that the music surprised the director, so after Chen Jingxing agreed that the Orchestra of the National Center for the Performing Arts can use this music for public performances, the director directly gave five. Discounts.

Of course, it is also because the orchestra participated in the perfection and creation of the soundtrack. It can be said that the soundtrack of "Gravity" is the intellectual property jointly owned by Chen Jingxing and the National Center for the Performing Arts Orchestra.

Although the orchestra has rehearsed many times, and Han Hong has also practiced many times in private, this is the first real cooperation between vocals and musical instruments. It is the first time that formal rehearsals have begun, and the two parties still need a certain amount of time. to run in.

This time the official rehearsal was not only attended by Chen Jingxing himself, but also the producer, supervisor and Mo's post-production director. Although everyone had heard the music in the simple electronic synthesis beforehand, the formal performance of the orchestra was still impressive. Everyone is a little curious. After all, it is rare to use an orchestra to play a symphony in the soundtrack of a domestic movie.

The deep string music played slowly from light to heavy, from low to high, and the cello solo played a deep and beautiful melody. Everyone present was refreshed. Everyone was familiar with the plot.

When Han Hong's misty, ethereal and penetrating chant sounded, producer Wang Peng, special effects director Wang Yibing, and other staff present all had a flash of amazement in their eyes. The imaginary and real sound effects are really different. The sound of soft whimpering was better than expected.

With the high-pitched and full-fledged explosion of the orchestral instruments, Han Hong's sobs immediately turned to a thick high-pitched sound, as if he had become a third instrument besides the orchestral instruments.

The largest concert hall in the capital, which was rented at a large sum of money, integrated the majestic symphony with Han Hong's "human voice instrument" and continuously circling and amplified the sound, vibrating everyone's eardrums from all directions.

"Wow..." The producer Wang Peng standing next to Chen Jingxing touched the goose bumps on his arm, his eyes shone with shock: "It's really different..."

It was Chen Jingxing's idea to use symphony music and let the orchestra perform live in the theater instead of electronic synthesis. This is a form of soundtrack that is rare in the domestic film industry. In the majestic and ethereal symphony, without Chen Jingxing's explanation, he understood Chen Jingxing's intention in an instant.

The symphony is really different. It is a match made in heaven with "Gravity". It matches so well, and the effect is extremely shocking.

As the person in charge of the special effects project of "Gravity", Wang Yibing was almost completely immersed in the music. He was so busy in the production of special effects that he was reluctant to be dragged here by Chen Jingxing.

But now, in the surging and sacred music, the picture of the movie even directly appeared in his mind, and he automatically completed the matching of the finished picture and the music. It's all too familiar.

And now he has discovered a completely different "Gravity". After adding music, it has really been sublimated beyond his imagination.

He found the other half of the soul of "Gravity" here.

As the person in charge of film special effects, Wang Yibing is almost equivalent to the assistant director of "Gravity". After all, most of the production work of this film is computer special effects, and this time he is surrounded by 360-degree orchestral music. This movie has almost a new understanding, this is the complete "Gravity".

This is probably the main reason why Chen Jingxing insisted on letting him watch the orchestra play the soundtrack. After all, he, the person in charge of visual effects, should also coordinate and complete the integration of the soundtrack and the screen. His knowledge of the film will definitely affect the final result. slice effect.

The intense drumbeat marked the end point, but the aftertaste has not dissipated for a long time.

Not only Han Hong and the members of the orchestra breathed the aftertaste of the music, they seemed to be comprehending the performance just now, and calmed down their inner emotions.

In the empty audience, Chen Jingxing and everyone related to "Gravity" seemed to be still immersed in the music feast and imaginary images, savoring the emotions of being stirred up in the sky and gradually falling to the ground.

After a long time, the few dozen or so people in the audience gave warm applause, which seemed to be dedicated to the performers on the stage, and also seemed to be dedicated to Chen Jingxing in the audience.

"Boss, this movie will definitely bring audiences a movie-watching experience they have never experienced before." Producer Wang Peng said to Chen Jingxing with the surprise and admiration that had not yet dissipated on his face: ""Gravity" is definitely a work of art that belongs only in cinemas."

This heavenly orchestral music seems to have its own sense of picture, especially those of them who are very familiar with "Gravity", they are completely able to match the film picture and music without the slightest gap.

As a filmmaker with rich experience in the industry, Wang Peng can even imagine that "Gravity" will really be released in theaters. The visual spectacle presented on the 3D screen, combined with the majestic, ethereal and sacred orchestral music just brought to the audience. An audio-visual feast for ultimate enjoyment.

But compared to them who heard this orchestral music for the first time, Chen Jingxing seemed to have constructed the audio-visual effect of "Gravity" in his brain.

The symphony was used as the soundtrack, along with vocals, and even provided the core melody, which was gradually realized under Chen Jingxing's insistence.

Wang Yibing, who has been coordinating and in charge of film visual effects production, has a deeper understanding of this: "I never thought that the combination of orchestral music and vocals would be so suitable for "Gravity", no, it's not just "Gravity" , The symphony is simply the most suitable form of soundtrack for space movies, the majestic orchestral ensemble and the magnificence and etherealness of the universe are a match made in heaven, and it can also give people a sense of religious sublimation.”

"No, there are instruments that are more suitable for space and the universe." Chen Jingxing sighed and replied under the curious eyes of everyone.

That is the pipe organ that you have never heard of in the plane of the previous life, which seems to be able to pass through the stars and time and space.
