The legendary swordsman's Creative Background

Zhao Jiping said: "The music creation of the legendary swordsman is not simply to write a theme song for TV series. It has an overall and macroscopic design, and several main characters have musical themes. My positioning of music is new, strange and special, that is, the music style should be new, the technique should be surprisingly successful, and the music combination should be unique. " What the audience called "weird" is exactly what Zhao Jiping is striving for. "Eccentricity is personality, which will leave an impression, attract people's attention and make people chew. People have a preconceived habit of appreciating the legendary swordsman, that is, the Hong Kong-Taiwan model. When a new thing comes out, it is easy to be criticized. But some people say that the more you listen to the music in the play, the more interesting it becomes. " Zhao Jiping also means that the legendary swordsman can't sing fluently. "Good Chinese songs are sung all over the street, and I don't want the legendary swordsman to feel the same way."

Zhao Jiping specially explained the theme song of the legendary swordsman sung by Liu Huan and Faye Wong. "This song adopts the three-part structure of instrumental music, and the themes of Ling Huchong and Ren Yingying are in contrast." Someone once described Liu Huan and Faye Wong's singing as "a dialogue between an elephant and a mosquito", and the styles and temperament of the two singers were very uncoordinated. Zhao Jiping disagreed: "What is harmony? What is needed is comparison. Liu Huan sings very well, singing Ling Huchong's natural and unrestrained temperament, while Faye Wong's theme is sadness. Good art is always presented in contrast. " As for the "aye-aye" that puzzled many people at the beginning of the song, Zhao Jiping suggested that everyone should understand it from many aspects: "It can be a flash of a sword, a challenge in traditional Beijing opera, or a sound of a mallet, lightning and thunder, opening a fairy-tale martial arts world ..."

In the final analysis, Zhao Jiping's creation of the legendary swordsman music comes from his understanding of the novel: "In the process of shooting TV series, Mr. Jin Yong repeatedly stressed that music should be bookish, and I also think that the novel has deep cultural connotation and cannot be simplified. People generally understand martial arts as fighting. What I hope is to express my feelings with a sword, and to achieve fraternity without winning. "

Zhao Jiping emphasized: "Thank you very much for your attention to the legendary swordsman music. Of course, we should listen to the audience with an open mind. It is a good thing that the work is controversial, and no one cares about the sorrow of the creator. " He believes that the CCTV version of the legendary swordsman is a very serious creation, "which can stand the test of time and history."
