"Man Jiang Hong" is a song written by/Yue Fei, arranged, composed and sung by Liu/Yang Yingbiao. The movie "Man Jiang Hong" was included in the album of the same name and was released on June 28th, 2023. In addition to the witty and exciting movie plot in the film, its magical brainwashing soundtrack of "Electronic Music+Henan Opera" has also attracted more and more attention and discussion from the audience. But the music composition of the whole movie is somewhat surprising, Han Hong.
The story background of Han Hong's "Man Jiang Hong" took place in the Southern Song Dynasty. The film incorporates national instrumental music, such as Qin, Zheng, Xiao, Qiang, Sheng and Suona. Based on the atmosphere and desolation of Shanxi ancient city architecture, a historical scroll echoing for thousands of years is unfolded, which fully embodies the oriental aesthetic taste in Zhang Yimou's films.
Man Jianghong's Creative Background
In April 2022, Han Hong released her first collection of classical instrumental music, Morning Fog. At the press conference, Zhang Yimou was invited to listen as a guest. At that time, there were other big coffees in the film and television industry. She threw a hydrangea at that time. "I can write you a movie soundtrack!" A month later, she received a letter from director Zhang Yimou, inviting her to compose music for the new film "Man Jiang Hong".
The first time I got the script of "Man Jiang Hong", Han Hong cried. "Heroes make me cry and shock me. They're all little people. They could have lived a good life, but for those four words' loyalty to the country', they gave up their lives and forgot to die. " Han Hong comes from a military family and used to wear military uniforms. Although I have retired, "many traditions in the military camp still remain in my blood. When I read the script, the melody of "Man Jiang Hong" flowed directly from my mind. "
Han Hong, who made the film soundtrack for the first time, didn't even know what process the film soundtrack should follow, and during this period, he encountered various unexpected situations, such as the music team was isolated in Guiyang, Chengdu, Zhengzhou and Shanghai. But none of them delayed the progress. Han Hong talked about the soundtrack of the film with a little pride.
