From the Spring Festival to the May Day holiday in 2024, ninety-six movie songs with various themes have been produced. This issue of "Today's Film Review" invites music critic Wu Zhoutong to take stock of the "red and black lists" of movie songs in 2024. A total of Talk about the compatibility between movies and movie songs.
Red list: strong sense of substitution, high adaptability
- "Hot Hot" movie accompaniment
"Little Happy" is a very meaningful and touching work, through the use of Childlike creative techniques and warm and lively tunes depict beautiful scenes in life. Even the dark clouds that cannot be blown away can be seen as a dazed little romance. The word "little" represents each of us. You can find a part of yourself in this song and this movie.
In addition, the reason why this song became a hit is closely related to the outstanding singing ability of the singer Zhou Shen. Zhou Shen's delicate singing touched the deepest emotions in people's hearts and touched the heartstrings of every audience.
- the theme song of the movie "Thelma and Louise" of the same name
The song reveals gem gem's strong personal style, using rap to express the warmth of life, the melody is mixed with humor, and it is funny and beautiful , which complements the themes of friendship and life that the film deeply explores.
At the same time, this song combines very well with the plot of the movie. Many people think that "Thelma and Louise" should be a funny and nonsensical movie, but after watching the MV of this song, you will find that there is something warm and touching. Existence, the song "face life bravely and live your own wonderful life" is moving.
- "Article 20" movie promotion song
Diplodocus uses the most sincere tone to talk about the difficulties of life. In the cold and warm world, he speaks for the ordinary and is dedicated to everyone in reality. The ordinary people living desperately in the middle of the country let everyone hear themselves in the songs.
When we close our eyes and listen, the warmth and simplicity in the song will come to us. When we open our eyes and look at the down-to-earth and touching scenes in the MV "Article 20", we can't help but want to go to the cinema to see it in person. Go and feel the charm of the film.
Black list: repetitive and complex, inconsistent with the video
The whole song is meant to express the theme of "hot pot" and Yu Qian's humor. The elements of the song and the movie are too similar, but the characteristics of the song are lost.
If the song could take another contrasting route, the effect might be different. If the movie is spicy and piping hot, then the song should be clear, just like eating hot pot with a cool drink. Only this combination can have an eye-catching effect on the audience.
- "Journey Through the Moon" movie moonlight dialogue song
The movie "Journey Through the Moon" has many promotional songs. As promotional music, the types are repetitive and complicated, making it difficult to match the movie. Type, on the contrary, will make the audience feel confused and at a loss. "Moonlight Handwritten Letter", one of the promotional songs of
, does not fit the theme of the movie, and it feels like it has gone astray.
- "Flying Life 2" movie New Year music
Nowadays, many movies like to use old songs as interludes or theme songs. On the one hand, they promote The pace is fast and there is no time to prepare original songs; on the other hand, classic old songs are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and have a better dissemination effect.But using old songs is also a double-edged sword. If used well, it can play a supporting role, but if used poorly, it will be counterproductive.
The movie "Flying Life 2" selected many classic old songs, but "Follow the Feeling" did not resonate with people's hearts in this movie, as if it randomly found a song that everyone is familiar with. When I put it in, it didn’t fit the video very well.
Movie songs help movie promotion and can also become classics
Movie songs have a great promotional effect on movie works, because musical works and mv have a lot of listenability and watchability, and the cost of listening to music is higher than watching a movie Movies are much smaller, so a small song can push a big movie market forward.
In addition, film music plays an irreplaceable role in portraying the psychology of characters, rendering the environment and atmosphere, and enhancing artistic appeal. While it makes the movie successful, it will also become a classic in itself.
In the future, I hope that every year we will have new works that will enter the ranks of movie hits, so that the music can be passed down and live on.
