905 Movie Network Special Article On April 3, "The World of Grass and Trees" was officially released. The soundtrack for the film was Japanese musician Umebayashi Shigeru. He won the 17th Asian Film Awards Best Original Music Award nomination for this film.

html For many years, Japanese musicians such as Umebayashi Shigeru, Hisaishi Joe, and Kawai Kenji have been working closely with Chinese film directors. Their music has made many movies more emotional and touched the heartstrings of the audience. Film critic Tan Fei bluntly said that Japanese culture is very similar to ours, and it is relatively easy for the two sides to form cultural integration.

In addition to cultural similarities, Japan's diverse musical styles also provide favorable conditions for the birth of soundtrack masters.

Tan Fei pointed out that Japan’s music industry, especially the film soundtrack and arrangement industry, is developed and divided into fields, including both national music and Western music. It is easier for Chinese films to find suitable musicians.

Japanese musicians have a tradition and history of collaborating with Chinese filmmakers. They first collaborated with some directors from Hong Kong.

Stephen Chow collaborated with the Japanese band cagnet when he was creating "The King of Comedy". Several pieces of music in the film are classics. The early "The Last Emperor" was assisted by Sakamoto Ryuichi, and "Sad City" was perfectly integrated with the music of the "Spiritual Thinkers" group.

Film soundtracks not only require the composition talent of musicians, but also require them to have many years of experience in the film industry in order to accurately understand the director's intentions. With his background in classical music and decades of experience in the industry, Joe Hisaishi has become the leader of Chinese film directors. First choice. "Red Fox Scholar" producer Jiang Zhiqiang praised Hisaishi Joe for being very good at using musical notes. The film director Ilic said bluntly: "The master is the master."

Another music master, Kenji Kawai, is very good at creating the atmosphere of various battle scenes.

He once composed the soundtrack for the "Ip Man" series. The most classic is undoubtedly "Battle Hymn of the Seven Swords" written by Kenji Kawai for Tsui Hark's "Seven Swords", which is magnificent and soul-stirring.

Kitaro, Oshima Mitsuru and many other Japanese musicians have also collaborated with Chinese film directors. The exchanges in film culture between China and Japan have a long history, and the cooperation between filmmakers from the two countries will be closer in the future, providing more support for the take-off of Chinese films.
