A brief discussion on the significance and inspiration of Peking Opera music in "The Mansion Gate"

In the play Zhao Jiping used Peking Opera as the basis to create the soundtrack. Observing his works carefully, we can find that he is particularly good at exploring the national elements in the plays to match the plot of the play. He is not limited to using traditional techniques, but also incorporates many modern music styles, such as the use of Peking Opera symphony, Peking Opera The rhythm matches the plot and so on.

1. Peking Opera music elements in "The Gate of the Mansion"

Peking opera tunes are an important element in the music of Peking Opera. Throughout the soundtrack of "The Gate of the Mansion", they are used Many Peking Opera tunes and arias are used to highlight the characters' personalities, such as "Pick the Pulley" often sung by Bai Jingqi, which shows the heroic personality of the male protagonist. "Liu Qingniang", which appeared when Bai Yuting was married in the photo, shows Bai Yuting's unrequited love. "The Suffering", as well as "Double Afraid of Mother-in-Law", "War for Peace" and other tunes, which later became the calling cards of the characters in the play, telling the audience the characteristics of the characters using Peking Opera techniques.

In the film, the gongs and drums of the soundtrack are also constantly changing according to the changes in the plot. For example, the four head blows, the most important kind of body-lightening gongs and drums in Peking Opera music, are widely inserted into the appearance of important characters in the play. in the scene. Depending on the plot, there are also different uses of musical instruments, such as bangu. The lead instrument in this band also plays a role in guiding the plot. Others include cymbals, wooden fish, suona, etc., which all have different accompaniment effects.

2. Take the theme song of "The Mansion Gate" as an example to explain the significance of modern Beijing songs

The ending song of "The Mansion Gate" is the most well-known song of the film. The general public rarely comes into contact with Peking Opera in their daily lives, but this Peking song has been widely welcomed as soon as it was released. People also like it because it is catchy and has the tradition of Peking Opera and the melody of modern pop music. This song is different from the Peking Opera we are used to talking about. It is a Beijing-style song that combines a series of improved modern orchestrations, singing methods, etc.

This song is presented to everyone in the form of a b a. The song begins with a series of bangu, with a tempo of 58. This part of the song is deep and majestic. It is mainly accompanied by the Peking Opera instrument Jinghu, with a double bass as the background. The singing method adopts the drawl of Peking Opera, and the interlude is replaced by gongs and drums.

This Peking Opera cleverly combines Chinese and Western music styles. Although it is not Peking Opera in the strict sense, it does have basic Peking Opera music elements, including several major Peking Opera orchestrations: Peking Opera, gongs and drums, and cymbals. It’s all available, and even includes the classic Gong and Drum Sutra. There are many more Beijing songs like this, such as "Singing Masks", "Bu Shuzi Yong Mei", "Fifteenth Moon", etc. Most of these songs use The melody of popular songs and the singing and orchestration of Peking opera enhance the contemporary feel of the work. Therefore, vigorously developing Beijing songs will also help attract young people who are accustomed to listening to pop songs, so that they can also consciously or unconsciously understand the charm of traditional music. Today, the artistic value of traditional music is becoming increasingly apparent, but our exploration of traditional art is far from reaching the level it should match. Take Kun Opera as an example. Kun Opera flourished due to the innovations of Wei Liangfu and others, but also declined due to the backwardness of later singing methods and expressiveness. Therefore, traditional music must keep pace with the times and gain public recognition, so that it can achieve healthier and longer-term development, and the art of modern Peking Opera is undoubtedly at the forefront of Peking Opera art.

3. The compositional thinking of Zhao Jiping's score

Northern Shaanxi was Zhao Jiping's original creative land. When he collaborated with Zhang Yimou on "Yellow Earth", he also went to Ansai to find the peasant singer He Yutang. Among them, the Ansai waist drum expresses his familiarity and love for that land.

Zhao Jiping said that his creative thinking is to break the rules and give people a refreshing feeling in terms of orchestration, melody, timbre and other aspects. When filming "Red Sorghum", Zhao Jiping broke the rules and used dozens of suonas and several shengs to play together. With Jiang Wen's shout, he suddenly expressed the cry for life of people in the Northwest. During this period, Zhao Jiping used several singing methods, and the tune also used the materials of tamping songs, which just expresses the cheerful personality of the people in northern Shaanxi.

Speaking of "Song of Heroes", its creation process is also somewhat legendary. Because it needs to show the heroic and unrestrained character of more than a hundred heroes, Zhao Jiping thought hard and his inspiration flashed out. The melody of Shandong folk songs, coupled with the local dialect, and finally combined with the local ditty "Saw the Big Vat", make the local flavor stronger. Later, this song became popular all over the country along with "Water Margin". Including the combination of "Qiuju's Lawsuit" and Wanwan tune, Zhao Jiping found various folk artists and folk singers to make various bold innovations in the film, which also added icing on the cake to his creative journey.

In addition, he is also unique in the instruments he composes, such as flute, suona, Nanyinba, panpipe, waist drum, etc. It can be said that he will try to use any creative technique he can think of. . This reflects Zhao Jiping's tolerance for various art instruments, including his precise grasp of various art forms. It can also be seen that he not only adheres to the inherited ideas of traditional art, but also does a lot of development and improvement work, providing a my country's local traditional art has injected fresh blood, which is the source of the future development of folk opera art.

4. Take "The Mansion Gate" as an example to explain the development of TV drama music

In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the first batch of TV dramas appeared in our country, but by the *** period, this nascent art The form is completely destroyed. It was only after the reform and opening up that it began to be influenced by foreign countries and created the first batch of domestic TV dramas with real significance, such as "Butterfly Spring" and "Daughter's Love". In the 1990s, after more than ten years of economic development in our country, the art of TV dramas has also become increasingly perfect. The soundtracks of TV dramas such as "Come Back Soon", "Ask for Love", and "Millions of Questions" have all aroused great repercussions.

Now that we have entered the 21st century, our country already has the soil for TV series creation, but it has to be said that there are still many problems. Generally speaking, good music can bring the audience into the plot, and can even exceed the value of the TV series itself. Although there is a lot of music in various TV dramas now, the quality of many works still seems shoddy. For example, the soundtracks of TV series such as "Soldier Assault" are suspected of plagiarizing music from Japan, Europe and the United States, and some even directly use the game background music of foreign online games. There are many such examples, and the reason is not unique. First of all, there are cost considerations for copying other film, television or game music. Secondly, the domestic music level still needs to be improved, including the fact that the audience's demand and understanding of original TV series music have not reached a certain level, so the audience market has been lost and it is difficult to stimulate the enthusiasm of musicians to create. Finally, our country has insufficient awareness of copyright protection, which has also greatly harmed the development of original music.

Another important aspect of this is the nationality of our own music. TV series like "The Mansion Gate" use traditional national things, such as "Water Margin", "Qiao Family Courtyard", etc. These TV dramas have well carried forward this spirit, so Chinese TV drama music has an original foundation and heritage. We can seek common ground while reserving differences and absorbing modern soundtracks from European and American countries, and we should also vigorously promote local advantages. The unity of sound and picture is a necessary condition for a good TV series. The composer must have a conditioned reflection on the picture of the film. When Zhao Jiping was creating, he followed the film from the script stage to create, so that the music can be completely integrated. Integrating into the plot, more importantly, we should also have the basis of our own local folk music, because most of the films we are exposed to are still about things that happen in our environment, and there are even many good TV series that do not have good national soundtracks. If you follow it up with creation, and then copy other music and insert it into it, the audience will feel abrupt and stiff when watching the movie, so the creation should also fit the environment. If you have more exposure to these daily life things, you can be subtle in your creation.

So today, our country’s TV drama music still needs to be perfected. This kind of improvement is not just the accumulation of quantity but the improvement of quality. Composers like Zhao Jiping will play an important role in our modern TV drama music creation and future development. It is even more precious, and his creative thinking is also an intangible wealth worthy of our study and reference. >>>The next page brings more
