As the music director of the TV series " and Feng Xing ", Yang Bingyin said frankly: "I was moved by the deep emotional concepts and values of this story."

Yang Bingyin participated in the TV series more than ten years ago The music production of "Let the Bullets Fly" attracted the attention of the industry. Subsequently, his professional footsteps spanned various types of works. He and his team Bingyin Chuangsheng created many wonderful music for movies, TV series, and animations and gained industry awards. widely praised outside. When
first received "Walking with the Phoenix", he first read the script, and then read the original work carefully. This work interested him very much, "The characters in the story are quite novel to me. I haven't seen them before. I have never seen a fairy tale drama with characters with such distinct personalities."
For more than two years, there was sufficient time for the music creation and production of "Traveling with the Phoenix", but the biggest difficulty was: how to guide the audience to understand the emotions of the characters ? How to shape the world view of the ancient costume fairy? How to bring authenticity?

Suona creates the domineering character of "The King is Here"
The beginning of the music production of "Traveling with the Phoenix" started with the heroine Shen Li. "First determine the main direction from the character characteristics, because the role of Teacher Zhao Liying is very large and heavy. If we find her musical image correctly, we will be able to promote the music of the entire drama. It should be smoother." Yang Bingyin first communicated with the director and producer and determined a few points: First, first of all, she is a god, not a mortal, and she must be able to create a "feeling of a fairy" and give the audience a sense of reality. "We used some ancient musical instruments such as chimes and vocal singing to reflect her 'divinity'."
In addition, the character of this character is responsible and energetic, so Yang Bingyin chose the suona after careful consideration. To express, "The explosiveness of Suona is very strong. Just like the core point of this drama, 'This king is here', this domineering power needs to be displayed in an instant." Yang Bingyin said frankly, "Usually in the music of film and television dramas, we It is still more cautious to use the suona, because the suona is an instrument that is very explosive and is not suitable for all film and television drama projects. But for the project "Walking with the Phoenix", it is particularly suitable. Because Shen The character of Shen Li is very suitable for the performance of this instrument." As for the battle scenes of Shen Li that often appear in the play, they are often just a snap of the finger. "We don't have much time to brew the music, so we hope to directly The domineering power of a king bursts out."

As for the male protagonist Xingzhi, "we emphasize more on his concept of ancient gods." For this reason, Yang Bingyin hopes that the music style will sound domineering and at the same time. With a feeling of ancient times, "All his actions may be earth-shattering, so the music we set for Xingzhi includes Mongolian long tunes and Khumai, giving everyone the feeling of ancient gods."
Music Shaping Fairy How does the fantasy space of the Xia world
shape the world view of Xian Xia dramas? Yang Bingyin talked about the difference in music creation between reality-themed film and television dramas and Xia Xia genre: "Music may be more about guiding the audience to experience the characters' emotions in realistic themes. It is a more direct way to guide the plot of the story. But in addition to the emotions of the ancient costume fairy tales, the music needs to shape the world and show the diversity and authenticity of the fairy tale world." He admitted, "We know that the film and television dramas The presentation of the picture is definitely limited, but music can expand the things outside the picture, making everyone feel that there is room for imagination about the world outside the picture."
In order to achieve this "expansion", Yang Bingyin said with a smile, he gave I also dug a lot of holes myself. When talking about Xingyun Xiaoyuan in the early stage, he told the film crew that he must give the music of Xingyun Xiaoyuan a "beautiful thing that can't be returned". He hoped that the first time he listened to it, he would feel quite warm. When the audience listens back to it, they feel like they are crying."But during the actual operation, you will feel that this idea has many limitations. You can't make the music particularly strong, but you can't make it dull, so you tie your hands and feet." But fortunately, the final presentation good results.

Some viewers commented that the music of "Traveling with the Phoenix" has an "oriental epic feel". "The so-called oriental epic feel comes from our national self-confidence in recent years. As far as our Chinese musical instruments are concerned, It has very distinctive characteristics. It can make people enter an emotion quickly and make people feel historic." Yang Bingyin said. He said that the most suitable base for performing fairy tales must be Chinese musical instruments. "But in the process of using it, on the one hand, we take Chinese musical instruments as the core, but we are not limited to this. For example, we add some electronic music and some symphonies to match. Making some innovations in methods makes our traditional musical instruments more prominent. ."
The cooperation between Yang Bingyin and director Deng Ke was also very smooth this time. "He is a very thoughtful director who likes new things very much." Yang Bingyin commented, "In the process of our music production, he will hope that no matter what Both the form and content of music must be fresh and innovative. He will often communicate with me. For example, he has recently watched some film and television works, which music is quite interesting, and what are its characteristics? We will also analyze the current market Let’s discuss the music everyone made.” Once communication is reached, Director Deng will pass the musical consensus to other creative and production departments, “So the production process is very, very coordinated, and all our departments are working hard for a common goal.”

Find the core point of drama
In Yang Bingyin's view, every drama has its core point of drama. "This core point is a very important direction to guide our music creation." He believes that now There are more and more musical methods, styles and tricks, but it is actually something other than music. "If our music is too complicated or does not conform to the core point of the play itself, the audience will often not be able to get it. Only by grasping the most important core point and amplifying it on the basis of this core can we form the synergy of the drama. ."
The common feature of the music creators and producers of film and television dramas that Yang Bingyin admires, whether they are domestic or foreign, is that they know a lot about drama. "They not only need to understand the process of music creation, but also how the play expresses its core values and emotions. This is actually something other than music creation, but it is very important. These may not be learned directly from school. , it’s more about communicating with experienced directors and producers, and gradually understanding it during the production process.”
“Music is actually the soul of a drama. You can’t see it, but it will be in the spirit of the drama. Add a layer of booster to the level. If the music is not done well, it will not be the function of the soul, but may become an attachment." In the process of making this soundtrack, whether it is the "soul" of King Bi Cang or Xing Zhi Shenjun, Even if there are some "souls" of supporting characters in it, "we are actually looking for: What should impress the audience?"
In Yang Bingyin's observation, the audience is paying more and more attention to music. “Especially when I work on some animation or game projects, the experience may be more obvious.” He said, “In addition to discussing the plot itself, people may listen to music in their free time or when they have no time to watch dramas. When they hear the music, it takes them back to the time they watched the show and the world in the show. Therefore, in addition to matching the plot of the film, our music may also allow the audience to recall the plot of the movie at other times, evoking the experience of watching the show. The role of feelings."
"My feeling in recent years is that the production staff in every aspect of the film and television industry are becoming younger, and everyone has a very strong desire for new things." The audience expects fresher and more interesting movies Things, Yang Bingyin thinks this change is great, "It will stimulate us creators to continue to produce more newer and more distinctive things. This process can also give us a greater sense of accomplishment."
