On the night of May Day, the "Honkai: Star Rail" concert held in Shanghai came to a perfect conclusion. During the concert, the atmosphere was warm and the audience was enthusiastic. After the concert, it received unanimous praise from players and the industry. Why did the Bengtie Concert succeed in its first battle? Game Daily believes there are two reasons.
First, it is the perfect fusion of Bentie music and game content. Take "Wildfire" as an example. If you listen to the music alone, you will find that its arrangement is actually a bit thin, and it seems that it cannot support the high-intensity scenes. But when combined with the game's sound effects, Cocolia's ultimate move, the biting cold wind during battle, the impact of the flame spear and the protective creation, these sound effects make up for the missing elements in the music, filling in the originally thin layers just enough. If you arrange the music conventionally, it will appear noisy.
In addition to the combination of sound effects and images, "Wildfire" makes full use of the "music trap" technique. When the audience is immersed in a certain style, the music style suddenly changes tone, giving the audience a sense of surprise. In order to make the change of tone not abrupt, you need the assistance of the screen. This is the case with the three-stage transition in "Wildfire". The first soft stage corresponds to the awakening of the will to protect, the second charging stage corresponds to the first stage of the boss, and the third stage corresponds to the boss's first stage. The explosive paragraph appears along with Cocolia's lines, pushing the player's emotions to the peak.
The second thing is that the concert, despite being separated from the game itself, still cleverly achieved resonance through light effects and stage design. It's still "Wildfire". When the song reaches the key-changing stage, the scene is equipped with accelerated flashing light effects to remind the audience, "Something is coming." And when the song reaches its climax, the light sticks in the hands of the audience are The blue turned red, and the lines from the game "The tip of the spear has been lit, flame spear, charge!" seemed to ring in my ears. All details are designed to restore the game scene and arouse the audience's emotions.
Other songs are handled in the same way. "Water Dragon's Song", which is also a popular song, is more musically performed in conjunction with animations and has less overlap with battles, so there is no need to think about the arrangement. Leave blank. Therefore, the arrangement of "Water Dragon Song" is full of firepower and adopts Yayue mode, a national mode of chords, which is naturally suitable for describing a grand epic. The combination of folk instruments such as guqin and guzheng with modern pianos and drums gives this song a novel listening experience that combines ancient and modern times, as well as a "national style science fiction" physique that perfectly matches Xianzhou.
When it comes to the arrangement of the concert, how to restore the animation effects of the game has become a difficulty. "Water Dragon Song" could have directly projected the original animation of the game to the screen. It is simple, crude and effective, but it also falls into the cliché. MiHoYo chose to create a whole set of new special effects, using a water dragon to open the sea as the background, and a majestic dragon head printed on it to look down on everything. The fountain on the scene danced with the rhythm, and a swimming dragon could also be seen in the fountain. Dragon Shadow. This set of special effects does not directly restore the scene, but the artistic conception it embodies perfectly matches the expression of the original work.
The music of "Honkai: Star Dome Railway" successfully passed the test of the concert. This concert is a music feast jointly created by hoyo-mix and Star Dome Railway, and has shown a very high level. However, Game Daily has higher expectations for MiHoYo. Electronic music is Hoyo-mix’s unique skill. If Genshin Impact uses electronic music to enhance national music, Bengtie uses national music to decorate electronic music. Just imagine if there will be a future journey It’s a punk-style planet, and hoyo-mix with full power doesn’t know what great creations it will bring us.
