宫奇：因为我们游戏呢，是一个这个银河冒险游戏。然后呢，它有好多不同的箱庭世界。你像这首蝉喓歌呢，它就是在我们的这个一个叫做仙舟罗浮的这么一个世界里面。它的最终的boss叫做幻胧。她这个出场的时候呢，就带着这种阴谋与算计、阴谋诡计。然后我们希望就是通过一个既能表达国风元素，然后又能表达她这种性格的这样一个音乐形式，去把她给呈现出来。
Gong Qi: Because our game is a galactic adventure game. Then, it has many different sandbox worlds. Like this Pedujara, it is in a world called Xianzhou Luofu. Its final boss is named Phantylia. When she makes her appearance, she brings with her this conspiracy and calculation, a cunning plot. And we hope to present her through a musical form that can express both the national style elements and her personality.

文驰：第一阶段上，主要就是想体现她的压迫感，所以我们的速度都会放得很慢，着重去表现她的压迫感。第二阶段就我们想去展示两方，两方激烈的战斗，所以速度稍微提高一点。第三阶段，主要是我们想着重描写一下仙舟人民的反抗，所以感情上会融入得更多。整体更偏一些歌唱性旋律多的一个东西。
Wen Chi: In the first stage, our main goal is to convey her oppressive feeling, so our speed will be deliberately slow, emphasizing the portrayal of her oppression. In the second stage, we want to showcase the intense battle between the two sides, so the speed will be slightly increased. The third stage is primarily focused on depicting the resistance of the Xianzhou people, so there will be more emotional elements incorporated. Overall, it leans more towards a musical composition with a singing melody.

李建毅：文驰老师能不能给我们讲一讲当时幻胧的一个设计？
Li Jianyi: Teacher Wen Chi, could you tell us about the design of Phantylia at that time?

文驰：幻胧主要是仙舟一系列一系列战乱里面的始作俑者，也是最大的幕后黑手。最终玩家和她决战的环境是放在一个特别大的建木那里。
Wen Chi: Phantylia is primarily the instigator in a series of conflicts within the Xianzhou, and she is also the mastermind behind it all. The environment where the player ultimately battles her is set in the particularly large Ambrosial Arbor.

杨想妮：那个幻胧好像是利用那个建木，化为她的肉身是吧？在侗族地区，都会有一种对植物的一种敬仰。就是小孩从小就会寄托给一棵树或是一座桥。就像我弟弟，他就是寄养给一棵树，我们河岸上的一棵大榕树。我就是寄养给一座桥，一座木桥，就是可以给别人牵线搭桥，做一些比较功德的事情。所以这个幻胧跟我们的一些…
Yang Xiangni: Phantylia seems to use the Ambrosial Arbor to transform into her physical form, right? In the Dong ethnic area, there's a reverence for plants. Children often entrust themselves to a tree or a bridge. Like my younger brother, who was fostered by a tree, a large banyan tree on our riverbank. I, on the other hand, was fostered by a bridge, a wooden bridge that allows connecting people and doing virtuous deeds. So, Phantylia is connected to some...

宫奇：…冥冥之中。
Gong Qi: Aspects of our destiny.

杨想妮：有很多关联，我们侗族地区很多地区都是这样的。所以侗族的一些歌曲都是对大自然的一种敬畏，包括这个蝉之歌。它也是模仿大自然的蝉的这个声音，把自己的情感寄托在这个大自然上，然后通过大自然来表达自己的情感，是这样。
Yang Xiangni: There are many connections; many areas in our Dong ethnic region are like this. So, some songs of the Dong people express awe towards nature, including this Pedujara. It imitates the sound of cicadas in nature, entrusting emotions to nature and expressing oneself through it—just like that.

文驰：那会就是里面有电子那一部分，就是感觉像念经那一段。我当时写的时候特别担心，就是它气口没有，气口很短。我担心到时候你们能不能一口气念完，但是你们都完成得挺好的。它一口气是可以念完的吗？
Wen Chi: At that time, there was the electronic part inside, and it felt like chanting scriptures. When I was writing it, I was particularly worried because it had a short breath, and I was concerned whether you could finish reciting it in one breath. But you all did well. Can it be recited in one breath?

杨想妮：可以的，因为我们唱侗歌的时候，在唱低声部的那个部分，哎，那个部分就需要很长的气息，而且就是在唱低声部的时候，就可能是你旁边那个人在换气的时候，你就不能换，就这样。所以你听起来就它没有间断，没有间断的地方。对，没有气口，所以就是旁边的人，他在换气的时候，我就坚持住，就是这样子。
Yang Xiangni: Yes, because when we sing Dong songs, during the part where we sing the low voice—(demonstrating)—that part requires a very long breath. Also, when singing the low part, it might be that when the person next to you is taking a breath, you can't breathe. It's like that. So when you listen, it doesn't have interruptions, no breaks. Yes, there's no breathing space. So, when the person next to you is taking a breath, I endure and continue, like that.

李建毅：所以大家之间配合，那个低音就一直在。
Li Jianyi: So, with everyone coordinating, that low tone just continues.

杨想妮：对对对，还有一点就是说，我们经常在一起唱歌之后，默契还是非常高的。
Yang Xiangni: Right, right, right. Another point is that, after singing together frequently, our tacit understanding is very high.

文驰：所以我觉得，就是因为它，这种它气口听起来就很少。
Wen Chi: So, I think it's because of it; this kind of breath sounds very rare.

宫奇：然后，很有压迫感。
Gong Qi: And it feels very oppressive.

文驰：而且不像是正常人类能唱完的那种气口，所以它会感觉上特别的，又压抑然后又神秘。
Wen Chi: Moreover, it's not like the kind of breath a normal human can finish, so it feels particularly suppressed and mysterious.

宫奇：对对对。
Gong Qi: Right, right, right.

李建毅：那大家既然对这个侗族大歌不了解，那想妮，咱们要不现在去给大家唱一段。
Li Jianyi: Since not everyone is familiar with this Dong ethnic grand song, how about you, Xiangni, singing a section for everyone now?

杨想妮：可以，咱们就唱一段那个，大家都知道啊，就是咱们这蝉之歌很多都是模仿大自然。我们的一些蝉叫的声音，比如说…好。这首歌也是另外一种蝉。我演示一小段…对，就是这个样子。
Yang Xiangni: Sure, let's sing a section of that. Everyone knows it; our cicada song often imitates nature. Some cicada sounds, for example—(demonstrating)—okay. This song is also another type of cicada—(demonstrating). I'll demonstrate a short section—(demonstrating)—yes, that's how it goes.

文驰：厉害厉害厉害。
Wen Chi: Impressive, impressive, impressive.

李建毅：你们每次结尾的时候都会唱下那个，诶久。
Li Jianyi: Every time at the end, you all sing those "e'jiu" (prolonged or sustained notes).

杨想妮：诶久。
Yang Xiangni: E'jiu.

宫奇：我发现她每一个长音的，那个结尾，那个中频。
Gong Qi: I noticed every long note she sings, the ending, that mid-frequency.

文驰：对对。
Wen Chi: Right, right.

宫奇：超级超级漂亮。
Gong Qi: Extremely, extremely beautiful.

杨想妮：对，所以，您知道我们为什么气那么长了吗？哈哈哈哈哈哈。
Yang Xiangni: Yes, so, do you know why we hold our breath for so long? Hahaha.

文驰：明白了明白了。
Wen Chi: I understand, I understand.

李建毅：我刚才听下来，实际上我们把侗族大歌这样的元素放到游戏配乐里面，其实两位老师在对这个非遗文化的传承上是做了很大的贡献。
Li Jianyi: As I listened just now, actually, incorporating elements like the Dong ethnic grand song into game music, both teachers have made significant contributions to the inheritance of this intangible cultural heritage.

宫奇：这个不敢当。对于我们来讲，这个东西，我们只能说大家都是学生，我们都是去可能，你像我们中国传统的戏曲，包括这个各地的这种民族的这种音乐形式，我们可能一辈子都学不完。而对于我们来讲，我们更像是一群求索者，我们可能之前就听过这个东西，它已经在我们的脑子里，可能在小时候，或者是什么时候。所以说你看似它是一个，我们偶然碰巧用到了一个这样的艺术形式，其实我觉得是必然的，就是因为我们这种感受，这种感受已经记住了。
Gong Qi: That's too much. For us, this thing, we can only say everyone is a student. We are all perhaps, like our traditional Chinese operas, including various ethnic music forms from different regions, something we might never finish learning in our lifetime. For us, we are more like a group of seekers. We may have heard this thing before; it's already in our minds, maybe when we were kids or at some point. So, seemingly, it appears that we coincidentally used such an artistic form, but I believe it's inevitable because our feelings, these feelings have already been remembered.

李建毅：我来读一下第一位网友的评论。他说这次boss战BGM非常惊艳，把民族的东西做的这么酷，本身就是一件很酷的事情好吗？这首歌二阶段让我有种热泪盈眶的冲动。民族的就是世界的。这么多年来，大家都多少受别国文化的影响，以至于做出自己文化的风格还要被别人鉴定是其他国家的一种风格或者音乐。
Li Jianyi: Let me read the first comment from a netizen. They say the boss battle BGM this time is stunning, making ethnic elements so cool; it's inherently cool. The second stage of this song gives me the urge to shed tears. Ethnicity belongs to the world. Over these many years, we've been influenced by other cultures to the point where when we express our own cultural style, it's often identified as a style or music from another country.

文驰：能引发大家对这项非遗技艺的一个关注，我觉得也是意料之外的事。大家听了之后，能更想去了解更原生态的侗族大歌，我觉得我们也非常开心。
Wen Chi: Being able to spark everyone's interest in this intangible cultural heritage technique, I think, is unexpected. After listening, people might want to explore more about the original Dong ethnic grand song, and we are very happy about that.

宫奇：对我觉得就缺乏了解，缺乏了解，所以大家才会有一些这样的误解。
Gong Qi: Right, I think it lacks understanding, lacks understanding, so there are some misunderstandings.

李建毅：所以我们还是要多做这样的推广，要主动地把这个民族的东西让大家了解到知道是我们自己的东西。
Li Jianyi: So, we still need to promote this actively, proactively let everyone understand that these ethnic elements are our own.

宫奇：对对对。
Gong Qi: Yes, yes, yes.

李建毅：那我们来看一下第二位网友的评论。第二位网友说拼到最后就是拼文化，听这种音乐容易激动，属于是正常血脉觉醒。几千年五彩斑斓的文化，就是要乘着新世界的船，在星辰大海勇往无前的。
Li Jianyi: Now, let's take a look at the second netizen's comment. The second netizen says, "In the end, it's a competition of culture. Listening to this kind of music is easily exciting, belonging to normal blood awakening. Thousands of years of colorful culture must advance bravely on the ship of the new world in the vast expanse of the stars."

宫奇：是虽然他这个拔高的很厉害，但是我觉得其实他和我的这个感受是一样的，我感受是一样的，就是说这种东西在我们记忆里，他早就已经形成了一个确实是一种血脉，好像我们共同记忆就是大家的集体意识那样的一个东西，对所以说他这个感受我是能够理解的。
Gong Qi: Although his elevation is impressive, I think his feeling is similar to mine. My feeling is the same, meaning this thing has already formed in our memories. It has indeed become a kind of bloodline, like our shared memory, a collective consciousness kind of thing. So, I can understand his feeling.

李建毅：这位网友我们能get到。好，第三位网友，他说这次融入对我个人有什么影响呢，他讲的是对个人的一个影响，大概就是我会主动去搜索这首歌到底运用了什么元素，知道是侗族大歌之后，我会愿意再了解一些关于侗族，关于侗族大歌相关的知识，比如说侗族蝉之歌，侗族的林王节，我更多的了解了我之前并没有了解过的我祖国的东西。
Li Jianyi: We get this netizen. Good, the third netizen. He says, "The incorporation this time, what impact does it have on me personally? He talks about the personal impact, probably that I will actively search for what elements this song used. Knowing it's a Dong ethnic grand song, I would be willing to learn more about Dong ethnic, about Dong ethnic grand song-related knowledge, such as the Dong ethnic cicada song, Dong ethnic's Linwang Festival. I have learned more about my homeland that I didn't know before."

两位老师未来会不会继续在游戏音乐创作中融入我们这样的非遗文化国风音乐的元素呢？
Li Jianyi: Both teachers, in the future, will you continue to incorporate elements of our intangible cultural heritage into game music, elements of traditional Chinese music?

宫奇：这个我其实也是非常期待的，因为首先我们这个工作它是游戏音乐，首先要符合这个游戏的设定，对，然后能够帮助玩家在游戏中获得更好的沉浸感，所以说我觉得我们没有必要去刻意的做这些事情，然后如果后面有这种合适的场景，合适的这种机会，我们一定会，肯定是非常乐意去做这种尝试的。
Gong Qi: I'm actually looking forward to that because first, our job is game music; it has to fit the game's setting. Yes, and it should help players have a better immersive experience in the game. So, I think we don't need to deliberately do these things. If there are suitable scenarios and opportunities in the future, we will definitely be very willing to try these experiments.
