The recently announced list of 2021 Hollywood Music Media Awards (HMMA) are all familiar names: "Dune", "007: No Time to Die" and "Squid Game" - Judging from these works, It is indeed a very "Hollywood" award. In the field of games, "Glory of Kings International Edition" successfully won the "Best Mobile Game Original Music", shining as a domestic game among many award-winning masterpieces.

Knock on the blackboard to highlight the important points: The composition and arrangement of the award-winning hero theme music of AoV4.0 were all completed by the Chinese production team. It is the only original work by a Chinese composer among the entries. This is really too shameless!

In fact, it is not easy to make game music, because music is not like art and color, which can be flexibly adjusted and integrated. For example, in AoV, Zuka (Panda), Sun Wukong, Bull Demon King, Chinese dragon, lion dance, Tai Chi Yin and Yang, this kind of "although I can't understand it, but it is cool and very oriental" elements often make overseas players shine. .

But the music is hard to see, and it is difficult for everyone to adjust, and he wants to put in Chinese cultural elements as a Strong attraction is extremely difficult. Fortunately, Tianmei Studio, which has been exploring and cultivating domestic musicians since 2020, discovered Li Yang (one of the main creators of the hero theme song this time), and together with a large number of professional music creators, they summed up a set Experience allows cultural elements to be naturally integrated.

For example, during the creation process of AoV's "Cyberpunk" of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", in order to express the meaning of "mountain" and "sea", after many explorations and attempts, we finally used deep-sea fish. The sound of the game is used to represent the "sea", and the Chinese folk songs are used to represent the "mountain". The sound, melody and cultural characteristics are all available, which is naturally very popular among players. "It's actually very simple, just choose the ones that are suitable. Everything is based on 'fit'." Li Yang said.

In order to keep young people excited, Li Yang and his team also joined in at a later stage There are a lot of things like electronic music and synthesizers, and the whole song suddenly becomes trendy. This also reflects the "fusion" in music and complements the "fit" mentioned above. This "fit + integration" experience model was also used in the creation of the 4.0 hero theme song: the Chinese musical instruments are in charge of the Chinese team, and the foreign musical instruments are in charge of the foreign team. Each side shows its strengths and combines the works. Quality taken to new heights.

Li Yang also said that if we want the world to hear more voices from Chinese games, Chinese games themselves must also keep growing and pursue innovation and change. This is what AoV has been doing.
