Watching the movie take shape little by little before your eyes, this joy of harvest is hard to describe in words.

Lin Han has initially edited "The Matrix", and at this time he commissioned the famous soundtrack master Zhao Jiping to create the movie, which cost a lot of budget, but it is also worth it!

A good soundtrack master will make the movie more exciting, and the soundtrack is very important, and even the Oscars have special awards.

Film and television soundtracks can basically be regarded as the pinnacle of music art. The author needs to combine composition, arrangement, symphony, chorus, instrumental music, electronics, opera, imitation, plot interpretation and other abilities, and the threshold is extremely high. Therefore, film and television soundtracks all want to have a very high reputation.

Among music practitioners, the title of musician is not something that can be called casually. People who sing well can only be called singers, people who play the piano can only be called performers, and people who write pop songs well can only be called composers or musicians. The film and television music master is called musicians without any dispute!

Zhao Jiping is basically the top soundtrack master in China. This is also a person recommended by Zhang Yimou to Lin Han. He once gave classic film and television works such as "Loess Land", "Red Sorghum", "Big Red Lantern Hanging", "Farewell My Concubine", "Water Margin", "Swordsman", "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer", "The Qin Empire", and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". The styles are diverse, majestic and delicate, and are known as the Williams of China.

Now that Zhao Jiping has grown older, his casual works cannot enter his eyes. If Zhang Yimou hadn't recommended Lin Han's works, he wouldn't have agreed. After all, he is a person who is a young man!

...

"Hello, Teacher Zhao, I am Lin Han, the director of "The Matrix"."

Lin Han's words were filled with respect. The person in front of him made the Chinese film and television soundtrack famous overseas. Many classic film soundtracks were born in his hands, but I just didn't know if he could be competent for the soundtrack of science fiction films.

Zhao Jiping took a plane from Xi'an to Yanjing. He didn't expect that such a famous director would actually come to the airport to pick him up. It was very comfortable to pay attention to him.

Even though he was over 60 years old, he still heard from students of Xi'an Conservatory of Music and even Sun from his own family mentioned Lin Han's works and knew that he had a great influence among young people.

I thought young people were extremely arrogant, but now they looked very polite and well-educated, and their appearance became better.

"Kobayashi, I heard from Yimou that you were shooting a science fiction blockbuster. I have fun with many movies in my life, but I have a small regret. That is, I have never matched a science fiction movie, so you have fulfilled my wish!"

Zhao Jiping was ready to fight like a young man, wanting to do something big.

Lin Han answered while driving: "Teacher Zhao, you have read the original novel and some of my shooting materials. I wonder what you think of the soundtrack of the film?"

"Since it's a science fiction film, we can't use the previous routines. So I decided to abandon the traditional soundtrack model and use electronic instruments and pop music to feed the movie to get a noisy atmosphere in the apocalyptic world! I've compiled a part of it, so we can now try to blend it in the post-production center."

Both of them were workaholics, so after they left the airport, they went straight to the editing room. They had contacts and exchanged ideas for their creative ideas before. Lin Han just confirmed it last time.

After all, Zhao Jiping has never given a soundtrack for science fiction films before, and this is the first time that I have to be more cautious!

What is presented to Zhao Jiping is a rough cut version of the movie. Many special effects shots have not been incorporated, and many actors' dubbings have not been added, which is so rough that it feels a little distressing.

As a master of film and television soundtracks, Zhao Jiping has always worked with great directors and has been used to various shooting techniques and excellent works, but he looks at "The Matrix" with relish.

The whole film is completed from beginning to end with green and black tones, with a strong sense of futuristic sense. This tone is prompted at the beginning of the movie. The green numbers fall down on the black substrate in a row. Green and black form the main tones of the computer world. The whole movie seems to be carried out in a computer program. Most of the shots are moving. The few fixed shots basically express the overall movement of the characters with medium and long vision, and strongly emphasize the sense of degree in movement!

Digital Rain can also be regarded as the signature of "The Matrix". The constantly changing digital Rain looks very high-end and unpredictable.

Zhao Jiping was looking at the rough cut version on this side, while Lin Han was wearing headphones and listening carefully to the audio files brought by Zhao Jiping, and then thought about how to blend them together.

After both of them were familiar with each other's ideas, they sat together to analyze the silent version of the movie (only dialogue), and then discussed deciding where music was needed, what kind of music was needed, where the music was already made, what should be replaced with if the music was not suitable in this place. A dense list of music was the result of their work.

Every place to record is music, recording the beginning and technical practice required, and calculating the duration, adding notes to explain what kind of music is needed here.

The music files brought by Zhao Jiping before can be called test tracks. This is a conceptual idea for director Lin Han. If it is appropriate, use it!

Zhao Jiping has been preparing for a long time. He is inspired by the novels of the Matrix. Now after seeing the semi-finished movie, he knows Lin Han’s specific requirements.

Before, they were all macro-created, and they arranged a certain plot according to their own understanding. Now they will make appropriate modifications according to Lin Han's requirements.

...

A week later, the orchestra recorded Zhao Jiping's songs, and then mixed them with various metronome tracks, and finally handed them over to Lin Han to make the music and the picture seamlessly combine.

This is not the end. This is just a roughly cut soundtrack. After Lin Han adds the special effects, he will have to make a careful modification and finally present it to the audience!

A two-hour movie that contains the hard work of many behind-the-scenes staff is not a joke.

The audience all think that a movie will not take long and can be released easily. In fact, it is an outsider who watches the fun. Only after picking up the DVD and shooting a video will you know how difficult it is!

In the not-so-spacious editing room, Lin Han and Chen Jiaxuan leaned against each other, and next to them were Xu Jiayan, Miao Hong and Zhao Jiping. They were all focused on watching the scene created by Lin Han.

Except for Lin Han, they have never seen the semi-finished product of "The Matrix", so they all stared at the 50-inch large screen!

The rhythmic sound complements the action scenes in the film, and the characters' movements seem to be changing rhythmically with the music.

In the part where Neo and Trinity rushed into the building to confront the guards, the sound composition was particularly classic, and the picture had reached its peak. With the combination of sound effects, such a simple viewing was enough to make Miao Hong and others start to surprise!

The music that recursively loops is the marketing of the in-painting when the characters walk and shoot. When Neo turns over and jumps up at 36 o'clock, it passes by with a "swish" sound, and the spread black windbreaker gives people an indescribable sense of pleasure.

The sound of the machine gun, the crisp sound of the shell hitting the ground after it ejected, and the sound of marble fragments churning and falling as the sound of the narrative space, show a strong sense of perseverance and a sense of dynamic flowing water!

The whole sound is flowing, giving people a sense of oppression.

When Neo jumped up and kicked the last guard, the background sound came to an abrupt end. Several dynamic sounds cooperated with the action points in the picture, and they were done in one go, neatly and neatly!

Miao Hong couldn't help but applaud, "Boss, you and Teacher Zhao can be said to be a strong alliance. No wonder Mr. Zheng has such great confidence. We can be the champion!"

"A very wonderful movie. Although I didn't understand the novel, I understood the movie. It's a science fiction action blockbuster. I really hope that the missing special effects shots will be added quickly." Chen Jiaxuan praised, "The soundtrack and sound effects are both great. If it were screened in the cinema, it would be shocking. It is a dual enjoyment of vision and auditory!"

After all, the editing room has limited conditions and it is impossible to simulate the feeling of a cinema. Lin Han is very satisfied with their reaction, and Zhao Jiping's soundtrack can be called the icing on the cake.

"Lao Miao, I think it's possible to put the matter of establishing my own editing room on the agenda. It's really inconvenient to be with others now. I'm worried about the leak of things all day long."

"That's certain, but now that you've edited it all the time, what if you just wait for the next movie to be used? Don't waste half a year of time and leave it empty, that's not good!"

Lin Han shrugged, he had no objection for the time being. Now that the later stage of the movie has been completed, he is waiting for the special effects company to hand over all the special effects shots.

But this is not a hurry. It’s good to spend enough time slowly crafting the special effects. Lin Han is not in a hurry now.

After all, it was only early September, and the work progress was far beyond his own thoughts. He originally thought that it would not be until January to integrate these soundtracks and other things!

This year's Spring Festival is February 16, which means there are still 4 months left, so there is no need to worry about progress at all. What we need to consider now is the promotion of the movie, which is what Miao Hong is best at.

I cry and ask for monthly tickets and recommendation tickets. The additional updates will be paid off soon. Do you still want to see a larger-scale explosion?
Chapter completed!
