1905 movie network feature The soundtrack is an important part of the film language. As early as the silent film era, music has been widely used in movies. Good soundtrack can help movies better express emotions and render atmosphere, so the importance of soundtrack is self-evident.

Released on July 1, it was composed and arranged by Chinese musicians, and will be released this weekend.

Therefore, Kawai Kenji presented two songs with different styles to the audience in "Embroidery Haru Knife 2".

A song for the former voice of the singing of "strong love as you".

The first encounter in the rain between Shen Lian and the painter Beizhai, the two held an oil-paper umbrella together, and the picture was very beautiful. The sound of the rain was accompanied by the erhu, which was sad and moving, and it was similar to this song "Love is as Pale as You". The desolation and helplessness of the ups and downs of life and life cannot help themselves suddenly came out, and the pleasure and freedom of "One Misty Rain for Life" in the lyrics could not be realized after all, which also hinted at the fruitless ending of the two.

The other is the theme song "Embroidery Spring". Kenji Kawai uses rhythmic drums to give people a sense of tension in the killing field; the majestic music, accompanied by Tan Weiwei’s loud and high-pitched singing, is like the resistance and cry of people born in troubled times, which just echoes the words of Lu Wenzhao, who plays Chihu at the beginning of the film: "If you don’t want to die like this, you have to live differently."

Talking about the cooperation with Kawai master, the director said that he was inspired by listening to Kawai Kenji’s music when the script of "Embroidery Haru Knife 2" could not be written, so he felt that he must invite Kawai Kenji to make the music. After Kawai Kenji read the script, he also felt that the script was very exciting, and the two made a hit of it.

The soundtrack of the "Ip Man" series also continues Kawai Kenji’s consistently high standard. The music is as majestic as an epic, not only showing the inviolability of China in the film and the high morale of the people, but also igniting the blood of the audience outside the film and triggering resonance. Such music, both in the film and in the music itself, is undoubtedly a success.

"A Moment Together"

Due to the long-term study of Japanese folk music, Kenji Kawai’s music often has a distinct oriental classical style. However, from the early "Gathering Moment" and "Ranma 1/2" by Ryuko Takahashi to some of the works they represent, we can know that Kenji Kawai’s musical style is not just a style expressed in Chinese movies.
