When it comes to suona, many people may have already frowned, and its high-pitched loud beeping sound will automatically sound in their minds. After all, this sound can penetrate the sky and cause a wide-ranging and indiscriminate attack.
But for young people walking on the front line of Internet surfing, suona can also keep up with fashion trends. It can not only be bold and high-profile but cute and playful when performing "Love Cycle", but also imitate "unlike me, I will only feel bad for giegie" by changing the tone. Even in the recent domestic online animation market, the performance of suona in animation BGM is also very eye-catching. These music were once called "divine comedy" by animation enthusiasts.
For example, in "Ling Cage: Special Chapter", when Bai Yuekui, who is holding a Tang knife, faces Mark, who has become a polar-devouring beast, the battle scene of "four or two pounding a thousand pounds" is matched with percussion, vocals, and xiao sounds, which even more shows Bai Yuekui's leisurely and calmness. . In the end, Bai Yuekui took out the "fire pot" and stabbed Mark. As soon as the suona sound came out, it immediately represented that the outcome of the battle was decided.
Coincidentally, at the end of the fourth episode of "Painting Rivers and Lakes 4", Chi Meng's mother stopped the pursuers for the protagonist group. When she revealed her identity and showed her twelve tattoos, the suona sound of the background sound matched the title of the episode "Hunting Kill". ", highlighting the powerful aura of the character.
The unique sound of the suona has injected soul into the fighting screen of domestic animation. From the full screen of "burning up" in the barrage, you can also feel the amazing appeal of "suona + fighting".
If the musical instrument also has a motto, then the motto that Suona believes in is probably: "It is impossible to be a supporting role as a supporting role, and it is impossible to be a supporting role in this life."
As the saying goes, "As soon as the suona comes out, Baile gives way." Suona is majestic when it is played strongly, and melodious when it is played weakly. In addition, through the use of decorative sounds and glissando, it can also imitate birdsong and human voices, thereby greatly enhancing the expressive tension of its timbre, and can easily steal all the instruments in the ensemble. the limelight.
The movie "Glitter Girl" released in China in 2017 allowed more audiences to see the power of suona as a "musical hooligan". In the film, Western music and Chinese folk music had a confrontation through the song "Flying Bumblebee". At first, the two sides were evenly matched, but the suona appeared in the middle and became the focus of the audience. The song "Hundred Birds and Phoenix" , but also disturbed the performance rhythm of Western music, resulting in the final victory of folk music.
Therefore, suona often plays the main role or performs solo, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as "one enemy against one hundred" and "one standout". Perhaps it is the unique attributes of suona that provide an opportunity to set off the "burning" of the fighting plot.
In fact, the combination of "instrument rogue" suona and bloody battle scenes is not new in the field of live-action film and television dramas, especially the matching degree of suona and martial arts themes, which is equivalent to the height between "down-to-earth" and "sense of rivers and lakes" fit.
Although the suona was imported into my country from Eastern Europe and West Asia in the 3rd century AD, after thousands of years of development, the suona has become a very representative national musical instrument in my country. When people talk about suona, what often comes to mind are happy events, folk operas, or people's life and social phenomena, which is why suona can be grounded.
Facts have proved that the down-to-earth suona can indeed perfectly digest the rivers and lakes of martial arts film and television dramas and show the heroic spirit of the characters. Among them, the typical repertoires that are well-known to every household include "The Prelude of the Xiaodaohui" and "The Order of the Generals".
"Xiaodaohui: Overture" was originally the soundtrack composed by Shang Yi for the folk dance drama "Xiaodaohui" in 1959. Later, Hong Kong director Hu Jinquan put this soundtrack on the title of "Dragon Inn", which opened the road of martial arts for this soundtrack. Subsequent classic works such as "New Dragon Inn", "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", "Westward Journey" and "Kung Fu" still use this piece of music. As soon as the soundtrack came out, the audience realized that the plot was about to reach a climax.
The experience of "Crushing General's Order" is quite similar to that of "Knife Club Overture". It was referenced in the martial arts movie "Tathagata's Palm" in the 1960s, which established the track's influence. In 1964, Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio's "Havoc in Heaven" and "Crushing General's Order" showed great power together with Sun Wukong, and in subsequent works such as "East and West Achievement" and "Tang Bohu Points the Fragrance of Autumn", "Crushing General's Order" also appeared. " figure.
It is through the application and accumulation of many excellent works that these two soundtracks have become classics and are deeply bound to the labels of "Martial Arts" and "Fighting". In the animated film "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" released in July 2015, "The Commander" reappeared in the plot of Sun Wukong's havoc in the Tiangong at the beginning of the film, evoking the childhood memories of many audiences, and "The Prelude of the Knife Club" was ignited. The prelude to the final battle, once again showing the "burning" of the work.
In martial arts film and television dramas, the music seems to superimpose a layer of "invincible BUFF" for the characters. When the traditional musical instruments are closely combined with the plot of the characters' great power, the subtext behind them seems to say: "No one can beat me in my BGM."
Obviously, the use of suona in domestic animation is exactly the same as in the past martial arts movies and TV dramas.
Although "Ling Cage" is a doomsday sci-fi themed work, "Special Chapter" Bai Yuekui used Tang Dao, Tai Chi, acupuncture and other elements when subduing Mark. The Bad Person 4" The identity of Chi Meng's mother was revealed, and the barrage comments sighed that "the mother-in-law is so handsome"; "Wind Spell" Xia Lan's five-member team battles Rakshasa, making the audience excited; the last episode of "Dali Temple Diary" The combination of the fighting scenes and suona has also won the audience's affirmation...
Animation fans have also integrated the use of music. Netizens edited the suona step-by-step fighting videos of "Five Elements in the Fog Mountain", "Kuiba" and "Under One Person", which also have no sense of disobedience - the pictures of fierce fighting scenes, matched with suona. The sense of rhythm, the fire is over.
No matter how the times change, Chinese audiences have a natural preference for traditional cultural elements. As a part of the background music, the suona plays a role in creating the atmosphere of the plot and mobilizing the audience's emotions. In this process, the heroic demeanor and the storyline of the classic works will also be fixed in the memory of the audience.
