The classic background music in the movie "Kung Fu" is "The Knife Club Suite".
The Overture to "Little Knife Club" is the music from the dance drama "Little Knife Club" launched in Mainland China in 1959. The composer is Shang Yi, who is from Shandong.
The overture of Xiao Dao Hui uses the suona to create a majestic momentum at the beginning, and then continues to sublimate the theme. The addition of pipa and erhu enriches the expressive power of the music.
The band's performance space is quite compact. Despite this, the coordinates of each instrument are still clearly discernible. If you feel that the instruments are crowded together when listening to this program at home, you should first find out the reason from the acoustics of the room and start improving your listening environment.
The two shocking drum sounds at the 20th and 43rd seconds at the beginning were from the bass drum located at the rear right of the stage, and the sound was solid and powerful.
The audiovisual position of the bass drum should sound about the same as the cymbals. About three minutes into the scene, a powerful timpani sounded from the middle of the back of the stage. The timbre of the timpani is different from the bass drum. You should be able to hear the difference between the two in the sound system. Some audiophiles use speakers. There is a slight sound coloration phenomenon. In this case, the two drum sounds are not so easy to distinguish.
Toward the end later, there were several loud gongs, and the sense of direction was quite clear. But having said that, the recording of the bass and drums in his "Overture" is quite overbearing, and more frankly, it's like "drinking blood while drinking hair".
Introduction to "Little Knife Club Overture":
"Little Knife Club Overture" is one of the "Little Knife Club Suite", which was composed by Shang Yi in 1959 for the national dance drama "Little Knife Club" soundtrack.
The early "Small Knife Club Overture" appeared in King Hu's "Dragon Gate Inn" and is the most frequently quoted background music in Stephen Chow's movies. For example, in Journey to the West, the Supreme Treasure has three moles on it and looks into the demon mirror. There is also the appearance of the Supreme Treasure after transforming into Sun Wukong before fighting against the Bull Demon King. In "The Deer and the Cauldron", Hai Dafu dressed up as Guan Gong and appeared in "Ouchi Secret Agent Ling Ling Fa". This soundtrack was used when the emperor appeared to expose the Wuxiang Emperor.
The movie "Kung Fu" and so on were cited again in Stephen Chow's latest movie "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons". This music was also used when the Great Sage appeared in the 2015 domestic animation "The Return of the Great Sage".
