When making some soundtracks, the composer must have enough understanding of the soundtrack works.

All soundtracks serve the works. If you want to make a work, you must repeatedly study the character settings, worldview background, and story plot of these animation and film and television works.

So, when Li Shaojie got the information, he was really confused.

Look through the index.

"Psychology of Doomsday"

"sociology"

Introduction to Ecosystems

History of Biological Evolution

"Derivation of the Evolution of the Universe"

"History of China and Foreign Countries"

"Detailed Explanation of Sitan Sanskrit"

"Illustrated Cuneiform of Ancient Babylonian"

An Analysis of Ancient Indian

Ancient Egyptian Myth

"Religion and Philosophy" and so on...

......

It can almost be said that people were stupid at that time.

The information in the index is almost as good as Paul's everything.

Any unpopular subject you can't imagine is likely to appear.

Li Shaojie even saw the extremely unpopular theory of "The Origin of the Black Hole Universe" marked inside, Penrose's black hole universe cycle theory.

"?" Li Shaojie wanted to become a big question mark, asking whether these people were going to make cartoons or win the Nobel Prize.

"Are you sure there is nothing extra in it?"

"I'm sure."

The staff smiled slightly and nodded very seriously.

"This is all the relevant information about the entire anime production."

"Of course, you may not need to read them all, because it is the origin of worldview philosophy, original painting design, plot, character design, fighting scenes, etc."

"In terms of soundtrack, you should consider the animation scenes and content more."

“…”

Li Shaojie began to doubt his life.

Although the staff said...

It doesn't need to be seen all.

But these things are still quite scary when they are tired.

Li Shaojie smacked his lips.

The myths, philosophy, religion, and even the history of ancient countries here must still be read.

Soon, the meeting began.

The meeting was not just a project start. In fact, the project had already started construction, and now it is just a few subsequent work arrangements.

For example, related peripherals, etc.

After a brief introduction, the title of the anime was opened.

Two words were projected on the conference hall.

"Spirit Cage"!!

To be honest, after seeing this name, Li Shaojie was even more confused.

It is difficult to speculate on the content of anime based on this name.

But with the explanation and looking through the information in hand, Li Shaojie gained a general understanding of the whole story.

In the future, the earth has experienced a devastating catastrophe. Surviving humans have to take refuge in a lighthouse suspended in the air, and then face various contradictions such as evil creatures on the ground, as well as opposition between good and evil, and difficult to distinguish right and wrong.

Humans have highly developed technology and can even collect interstellar resources. In this case, the degree of damage to the earth is even more serious. When humans try to touch the realm of immortality for immortality in order to survive, monsters will eventually be born in biological experiments.

The Mana ecology built by Extreme Devouring Beasts and the Flower of Mana plunders the life source of human beings, nurture Extreme Devouring Beasts, and then plunder the life source of human beings. After human beings experienced a wave of destruction and rebirth, the survivors chose two different paths.

The lighthouse humans who survive and follow the laws of the doomsday, or choose humans who adapt and coexist on the ground where the Mana ecology is completely assimilated.

But it seems that all roads are for humans to continue and return to the ground.

Of course, there are too many things inside, and it is difficult to understand thoroughly in a short period of time.

But to sum it up, it's just four words.

【Doom Wasteland】

Li Shaojie frowned slightly.

I feel like I've encountered a long-lost problem.

The stories of humans in the Wasteland of Doomsday, both sociology and psychology, are very different from reality. Not to mention the Wasteland, even humans after the war are completely different from the peace era, let alone the doomsday.

If you don’t understand these experiences, it is difficult to create a suitable soundtrack.

When scene rendering music involves this fictional "Manna ecology", it is difficult to describe it through music language. There is not much to learn from, so I can only study it slowly and understand the philosophy and logic in it.

Where is emotional music?

Of course, we need to study more about what people's psychological activities and mentality are in the doomsday, and we need to think more about how to make the moods of characters in the fictional world resonate with the audience in the real and peaceful era.

As for fighting music, it's even harder.

Whether it is the choice of ethnic scales or orchestration, it must be somewhat consistent with the identity and usage of the person in the battle scene.

After all, this is a story of doomsday. Without a distinction between country and race, human beings are mixed with nations, it is difficult to choose what ornaments and harmony to use, or specific ethnic scales.

especially......

Not only do we need to outline the feeling of the end of wasteland.

It is also necessary to express a theme.

[No matter what difficulties and challenges faced, as a community with a shared future, mankind should abandon prejudice and unite, and forge ahead in the long river of time.]

Community with a shared future for mankind.

How to deal with this becomes even more difficult.

However, this challenge made Li Shaojie more interested!!

The greatest joy of learning music is nothing more than these marginal knowledge.

Extensions of special themes such as culture, religion, history, philosophy, and even extensions of special themes such as martial arts, guns, and mechas, etc.

After the meeting, Li Shaojie returned to Dachihua Music Studio with a thick index of information and original paintings, plots and other design settings of the animation to prepare for production.

First of all, we must set the information of the story itself and understand the plot thoroughly.

Don’t think about some related knowledge that you don’t understand very well, memorize it by rote, remember these points, and eat them slowly in the future.

So, after reading the settings, Li Shaojie began to read comics.

Soon, the first attempt to make production is about to begin.

"Well...what should we start?"

Li Shaojie thought thoughtfully.

If the fighting style of humans in the Lighthouse is mechas, guns, high technology... a typical technological civilization.

But the way humans on the ground fight is somewhat like cultivating immortals...

Evolving humans, the mantras of Sanskrit, combined with the method of breathing and breathing and venting qi to stimulate the innate energy in the human body, and will also use the Guiyuan Heart Method to block emotions, making the Extreme Devouring Beast unable to detect itself.

Simply put, the humans in the Lighthouse have a more cyberpunk feeling.

High-tech, low survival.

Then, you may be able to produce some electronic music.

The fighting and survival methods of humans on the ground...there is a feeling of "evolution" + "ancient martial arts", especially in some clothing, fighting, and even various elements such as "spend" and "returning to the heart".

In terms of music production, you can use Chinese style.

While it has a little quaintness, it should also be innovative.

And the music related to Mana Ecology may be more said when it comes to production.

An ecosystem that is completely different from humans, or even completely hostile to each other, must have a sense of strangeness and threat, and can even be a little thrilling.

Therefore, the production must be a little bit more in the underworld.

Mystery also needs to be created.
