The polyphonic singing style of Dong ethnic songs produces layered singing, which complements the sacred feeling of Nezha's rebirth, "said Yang Xiangni, founder of Guizhou Dance and Cicada Song Orchestra, in an interview about composing the music for the Chinese animated film" Nezha: The Demonic Children Roar in the Sea ". At the beginning of the movie "Ne Zha: The Demonic Children Roar in the Sea", a lotus flower slowly blooms, accompanied by ethereal singing, showcasing the charm of Eastern mythology. The original composer of the film, Yang Rui, mentioned in an interview that this melody is very suitable for the singing tone of Dong ethnic songs. It is bright and introverted, holy and not lacking in smoke and fire, and matches the picture very well. After 12 days of release, as of 5:55 pm on the 9th, the total box office of "Ne Zha: The Demonic Child Roars in the Sea" has exceeded 7.9 billion yuan, becoming the champion of the total box office in mainland China's film history and topping the global single market box office chart in film history. The great box office success of movies has also attracted much attention to their music composition. In the film, there are eight suona horns playing the main melody, as well as many elements such as flute, xiao, hulmai, Dong ethnic songs, symphonies, and electronic pulse sounds. In the movie, music is used to construct an "audible Eastern myth". Yang Xiangni introduced that the music for the blooming lotus flowers in the movie is an extension of the two-part Dong ethnic song. Like the Dong ethnic song usually sung, it is a natural harmony of multiple parts, with obvious ups and downs in the melody to better showcase the scene of lotus flowers blooming. The opening theme song of the film and the appearance music of the West Sea Dragon King Ao Run were also composed by the Guizhou Dance and Cicada Song Orchestra. Ao Run's scheming is quite deep, with a hint of inscrutable feeling. In addition to singing in a female voice, he also incorporates falsetto and high low voice conversion, which is quite skillful Yang Xiangni said that the film soundtrack is not entirely based on traditional Dong ethnic songs, but rather preserves ancient vocal techniques and lyrics. The Dong ethnic group's grand song is known as the "heavenly sound" and has a history of more than 2500 years. It is a folk choir form in the Dong ethnic region of China, with multiple voices, no conductor, and no accompaniment. Yang Xiangni, a post-95s Dong girl who has been learning Dong ethnic songs since childhood, hopes to use the most primitive sound of Dong ethnic songs to try singing new music styles. In 2023, the Guizhou Dance Music Cicada Song Orchestra made the game background music Cicada Song for China's anime game Collapse: Star Dome Railway. The newly edited music style of Cicada Song combines the traditional tunes of Dong's big songs, and also uses the words and singing methods of Dong's big songs. The melody is solemn and solemn, but it has lingering oppression, weird and evil feelings, which makes players at home and abroad call it "inconceivable". The inheritance of intangible cultural heritage cannot rely solely on emotions. It must make young people feel 'cool' in order for more people to join in Yang Xiangni said that the emergence of traditional ethnic music requires continuous self-improvement and innovation. In the future, she hopes to carry out more cross disciplinary cooperation to make ethnic music heard by more people. (New Society)
