Creation background
In order to match the film's mythical epic type, director Wu Ershan decided to adopt Wagner's opera style, which is rare in China's films, so that the characters have their own unique themes, and then tell stories through the development of theme music. Music director/composer Meng Lan said that around the protagonist of the trilogy, the music team created heroic and emotional theme music.
Among them, the music with heroic theme focuses more on wind music. Based on the symphony, using various types of horns of China traditional folk music, it simulates the sound of charge horns in ancient battlefields, which is full of heroic momentum and passionate passion. Emotional theme music uses the timbre of China traditional flute, which is melodious and simple, with a strong sense of quantity and reflects the inner world of the characters.
