On the other hand, through the singer's analysis of song interpretation and singing skills, he can better grasp the singing skills and emotional expression of his works in future stage practice and practice.
The musical style from the movie Rio Adventure
The soundtrack of Rio Adventure perfectly blends R&B (Rhythm and Blues), hip-hop and Brazilian music forms such as Samba and BossaNova.
On the basis of numerous musical styles, the original music of Brazil's primitive tribes is also integrated. These musical styles form important tonal elements in the film.
The theme song "RealinRio" is a song that combines multiple musical styles, including rap, Samba, bossanova and indigenous folk music from hip-hop.
The song begins, with a few crisp bird calls, followed by the appearance of birds. The samba rhythm sounds, the birds begin to dance, and after a warm, cheerful samba, the movie begins and the main song part of the song ends.
The music of indigenous Brazilian folk music is used as a foreshadowing to color the entire piece, and the chorus of the song appears at the end of the film. After the female vocalist interprets a piece of bossa nova in a euphemistic timbre, the rapper appears, the rapper improvises and the song returns to the samba rhythm to end.
Just three minutes of sound bring Brazilian music to life. The representative of Brazilian musical culture, Samba, is one of the most representative national symbols of Brazil.
Samba, in fact, is a cultural form that expresses music and dance, and is a mixture of music and dance.
The music in samba is dominated by strings, percussion, and singers. Samba music is mostly interpreted in the form of chorus, multi-voice singing, and echoing each other.
The music style is cheerful and enthusiastic.
The birth of this musical style of samba, because of Brazil's unique immigration process, accommodates many exotic styles, making Brazilian culture more open, and the music of the Brazilian people has become passionate under the influence of this cultural background.
The movie episode "TakeYoutoRio" is an R&B (Rhythm and Blues) style music. In the movie, the male protagonist arrives in Rio with this song, accompanied by the atmosphere of the music, so that the viewers can immediately feel a kind of arrogance and enthusiasm of the Rio style.
Another episode, "TellingTheWorld", is also an R&B (Rhythm and Blues) style song.
The insertion of this song brings the rhythm and atmosphere of the film to a high point, and the role of the pot-bellied bird in the film is a singer who sings rap music, and in order to create an atmosphere for the hero and heroine on the tram, the pot-bellied bird comes to a very infectious rap.
R&B (Rhythm and Blues) music, Chinese can translate it to: rhythm and blues.
R&B is actually an extension of blues music, he is based on blues music rhythm has become more powerful, melody more push, this upgraded version of blues rose after the "Second World War" and became popular in the fifties of the last century.
The structure of rhythm and blues is basically based on the twelve bars of blues, and rhythm and blues, as a branch of blues, have played an important role in promoting the spread of blues.
With the improvement and development of music, a new trend has emerged in rhythm and blues around the world.
The current R&B is also different from the past, in addition to retaining the original style, adding many different musical elements and styles, such as: electronic music. With the evolution of R&B, the requirements for singers are getting higher and higher, requiring singers to have a deep foundation in order to fully interpret blues musical works.
Another representative episode of the movie, "FlyLove", is a typical bossanova-style song.
Bossa Nova originated in the fifties and sixties of the 20th century, evolved from a fusion of cold jazz to a soft, slow lyrical music.
With its soft melody but complex rhythm syncopation, simple melody but changeable tune, it creates a peaceful, clear or lazy, warm sound atmosphere, and is often used in some romantic pictures in movies.
Just like the song "FlyLove" in the movie "Rio Adventure", it is the male and female protagonists who have a good feeling for each other, the contradiction gradually dissolves, and the music slowly starts at this time.
The presentation of music in the movie Rio Adventure
The movie Rio Adventure is an animated work of the Ice Age series Blue Sky Studios.
Director Carlos Chardanha is a young up-and-coming director born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, who made a film for his home country and did the best tourism promotion promotion for his beautiful hometown of Rio de Janeiro.
Passionate Brazilians as well as passionate carnivals are among the Brazilian natural beauty, customs, national culture and artistic calling cards showcased in this film.
The film uses a large number of Brazilian regional music elements and intersperses a variety of music, and through the combination of pictures and sounds, it tells a story about animal protection, harmony and friendship between man and nature.
Film music is mostly music works created specifically with the film plot narrative as the core, all of which serve the development of the plot. Therefore, the music in the film should fit the plot of the film and the rhythm of the film.
And in film works, many complex psychological intertwining and changeable emotions, if added to the expression of music, may be more powerful than pale telling. Therefore, applying good music in movies must be an important part of a good film work.
"RealinRio" is the theme song of this film work. The song appears twice in the movie.
Once is the opening, the cheerful rhythm and very exotic tunes with interesting pictures advanced to the birds in the movie made an appearance, all kinds of birds animated images with the remake of the music rhythm appeared one by one, through the dual stimulation of hearing and vision, deep the audience's impression of bird species;
Another time at the end, the music starts again, and the same melody becomes a duet between the male and female protagonists, and in the process of duet, the visual switch is to the picture of their blind date and love, that is, the summary is made and the child is brought out like a preview.
Immediately after that, several main characters in the play appeared, and each character sang a sentence for the final appearance, which also heralded the end of the film. When the rap at the end of the song sounds, the rap lyrics directly express that I love samba and I am a samba master.
Samba is the representative of Brazilian musical culture, and here the lyrics express the central idea of the film. Set in Brazil, it showcases the natural beauty, customs, national culture and art of Brazil, as well as the theme of the film that calls for the love of animals and the protection of nature.
This musical work is tailor-made for this movie, when the music starts, those who have watched the film will think of this movie for the first time, when the samba rhythm sounds, we will remember the dancing birds, when the male and female duets sing the image of the male and female protagonists immediately come into view, when the rap rhythm begins, we think of the cute corresponding characters in the play.
The same song, which is required by the plot of the movie, can be applied to different pictures by making some adjustments in singing or rhythm, and the emotions presented will also change. Pop music is a relatively free form of expression in the form of music, and this feature can play its flexible and free characteristics when used in movies.
The song sets the tone for the entire film with a cheerful rhythm and energetic melody. It plays a key role in the plot development and rhythm of the film.
The most romantic part of the film is also corresponded to the hero and heroine by the musical line.
Originally they were not optimistic about each other, but after a series of story developments, the contradictions began to resolve, and they slowly developed a good feeling for each other, and they sat together on the tram in the sunset. When the cherry blossoms slowly fall, the beautiful melody of "FlyLove" sounds, and the whole picture in the film is extremely romantic.
The song's languid whistles, warm and deep voices, and gentle and sweet lyrics, coupled with colorful scenes, make the rich romantic atmosphere of all these elements almost overflowing.
Still through a beautiful melody, you can highlight all the emotions you want to express and complement each other.
Every plot ups and downs in the film, emotional expression points are brought in with music. Such as the fear that the male protagonist in the film has when he is smuggled into a completely strange city;
panic after it grows up, after its first separation from the mistress whom she considers family; Frustration after arguing with a good friend. The sadness and melancholy of the background music are naturally lengthened by the long beat.
Another example is that after the lonely Brazilian boy in the film takes the protagonist of the play and exchanges it with the villain in the play, when he climbs alone and jumps to the roof to look into the distance, the sad background music gradually and slowly sounds.
As the music progresses, the sadness gradually amplifies the feelings of guilt in the boy's heart. At this moment, the film uses a piece of music to lightly show the pain and hesitation in the boy's heart.
The emotions of sorrow interact with music, and joy, joy, impulse, and surging emotions need to be accompanied by a variety of styles of music. The male and female protagonists have mixed feelings when they escape the clutches of the villains in the play and regain their freedom;
the tension of the heroine when she flies for the first time with a non-flying male protagonist; In the carnival, animals play and chase each other.
The atmosphere is also used to render the atmosphere and drive the mood, the relaxed and pleasant R&B style expresses joy or excitement, and the huge orchestral soundtrack creates a grand scene or a tense atmosphere. In this way, the expression of musical emotions plays a pivotal role in interpreting the psychology of the characters.
Excellent film music can deepen the theme of the movie, show the psychological emotions of the characters, create the atmosphere of the film, and sublimate the film work. The film is accompanied by music to create a more vivid and emotional effect, allowing the audience to have a deeper resonance.
The role of music in the film Rio Adventure
Rio Adventure was produced by Fox Films, and director Carlos Chardanha is a Brazilian from Rio de Janeiro.
And the film mainly tells the story of what happened in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, but when we hear that the songs that appear in the movie sing lyrics in standard American English, some people will see it as a movie that reflects the will of the United States.
The film incorporates different musical cultures from the United States and Brazil into the same musical composition. It is also because of the influence of music that the fusion of the two cultures becomes a natural harmony.
The episode "FlyLove" belongs to the style of Bossa Nova, which originated in the Americas in the fifties and sixties of the 20th century, and is based on cold jazz music, combined with musical elements such as Mambo and Brazilian samba in Latin America.
At this point, we can trace the origins of this musical culture, where one of the tenor saxophones contributed greatly to the emerging musical style of bossa nova.
Born in Philadelphia in 1927, the performer is known as "the most beautiful tenor", and his playing is elegant and quiet, full of harmony and romance.
He played in some big bands in the 40s, and in the early 50s, he began to develop a unique musical personality, a lazy and noble playing style, and became a representative of cold jazz.
In the 60s, he recorded an album with guitarist Charlie Byrd called Jazz Samba, which first brought Bossa Nova to the United States;
In 1963, he recorded the album Getz/Gilberto with two musicians, which made BossaNova widely influential in the United States, thus setting off a "BossaNova wave" in the United States and Europe.
Therefore, because the integration of music promotes the exchange and integration of music cultures in different regions. It is precisely because of the various styles of music genres interspersed with the movie "Rio Adventure" that it reflects its social character.
The soundtrack of this film perfectly blends many different types of music such as samba, raw music, hip-hop music, bossa nova music, etc.
To some extent, it can be said that the music used in the film is spread throughout the American continent, and the soundtrack of the film is rich, natural and unified. It reflects the flexibility of musical culture and much more possibilities.
Because of its diversified musical elements, music is widely spread, and music and film are mutually used as the carrier for Brazilian music culture to spread around the world.
In the comparison of music communication carriers in China and the United States, it is found that the environment of music communication and different communication carriers will bring different communication effects. The spread of popular music is also becoming more and more complex and diversified, and its number of carriers, transmission speed and breadth are far ahead of classical music and traditional folk songs.
This phenomenon exists not only domestically, but also in the United States, and even in the international spread of music, and the general trend is roughly the same. The form of dissemination of film music is relatively simple.
However, as an audiovisual art, film is also one of the important carriers of music communication, and its impact on the effect of music communication cannot be ignored. Music is the interpretation of the content of the movie, but also the summary of the content of the movie, which can play the role of the finishing touch.
The artistry of adding music to the movie "Rio Adventure" is reflected in the combination of sound and painting between film art and music art. This combination has a good rendering effect on the development and promotion of the plot.
As we all know, the era of silent films is far from us. As the audience of films becomes more and more extensive, the requirements for their aesthetics and the combination of sound and painting have also increased.
In "Rio Adventure", the information that a simple picture can convey is very limited, so where it is difficult to express a simple picture, it can be presented by combining sound and painting, that is, incorporating music that coincides with the plot.
This way not only enriches the expression of the film, but also enhances the expression space of the work and fills the audience's sensory enjoyment. Great music and sound effects tend to take movies to a higher level.
