## Incorporating Innovative Elements to Establish Emotional Connections

**人民网：新曲《轻涟》有着怎样的创作故事？
People's Daily Online: What is the creative story behind the new song "La vaguelette"?**

罗白：我们这次发布的《轻涟》是由米哈游旗下音乐工作室HOYO-MiX作曲，《原神》制作团队作词的一首法语歌曲，在《原神》故事里，由新角色芙宁娜出演《水的女儿》时所演唱。这首歌实际由法国歌手、演员希西莉亚·卡拉（Cécilia Cara）演唱，同时还邀请了阿云嘎、胡夏、尚雯婕、谭维维四位歌手进行多版本诠释。
Luo Bai: The "La vaguelette" we released this time is a French song composed by miHoYo's music studio HOYO-MiX, with lyrics written by the *Genshin Impact* production team. In the *Genshin Impact* story, it is sung by the new character Furina when she plays "The Little Oceanid." The song is actually sung by French singer and actress Cécilia Cara. We also invited four other singers, Ayanga, Hu Xia, Shang Wenjie, and Tan Weiwei, to interpret multiple versions of the song.

“水神”芙宁娜的人物设定是枫丹地区的“神明”，也是家喻户晓的大明星。在光鲜亮丽的外表下，芙宁娜背负着拯救枫丹的重任，并且不能够向任何人倾诉，在孤独中煎熬了几百年。通过对这个角色的刻画，我们创作出《轻涟》这首歌。在剧情中，这首歌虽然唱的是《水的女儿》，但唱的也是芙宁娜自己。我们希望通过剧中剧的方式去建立角色与歌曲的情感连接，辅以风格化的动画形式，希望歌词能够达意，画面能够传情，帮助大家进一步了解芙宁娜在枫丹预言落幕后的生活及内心，与角色共鸣。
The character setting for the Hydro Archon Furina is the god of the Fontaine region and a well-known superstar. Beneath the glamorous exterior, Furina bears the heavy responsibility of saving Fontaine and cannot confide in anyone, suffering in loneliness for hundreds of years. Through the portrayal of this character, we created the song "La vaguelette." In the plot, although the song is about "The Little Oceanid," it is also about Furina herself. We hope to establish an emotional connection between the character and the song through the subplot, supplemented by stylized animation, aiming for meaningful lyrics and conveying emotions through visuals, helping everyone further understand Furina's life and inner feelings after the conclusion of the Fontaine prophecy and resonate with the character.

**人民网：在音乐创作上，《轻涟》融入了哪些艺术形式？
People's Daily Online: In the creative process of music, what artistic forms are incorporated into "La vaguelette"?**

苑迪萌：从剧情设定上来看，芙宁娜要在歌剧院完成一场表演，我们很想呈现出戏剧化的情节，同时也想在音乐的艺术表达形式上多一些突破，所以在拿到故事台本后，感觉音乐剧更加贴合我们的想象，可能比歌剧更加适合这场演出。
Yuan Dimeng: From the perspective of the plot setting, Furina is supposed to perform in an opera house. We wanted to present a dramatic plot while also seeking breakthroughs in the artistic expression of music. So, after receiving the script, we felt that a musical would better align with our imagination, perhaps more suitable for this performance than an opera.

音乐剧的主体是戏剧，载体是音乐，基于这个特点，我们认为音乐剧介于歌剧和流行歌曲之间，是一种容易产生共情、便于听众理解，并且叙事性很强的音乐形式。作为一名音乐创作者，不断突破自我，尝试新的内容，也是非常有意义的一件事。我们希望能做好内容，通过内容去传递正能量，告诉大家我们有一支想要用心打造音乐内容的团队，传递出一种全球化的、在不同文化背景下都能够认同的美好价值观，将作品带给海内外受众。
The essence of a musical is drama, with music as the carrier. Based on this characteristic, we believe that a musical falls between opera and pop songs. It is a form of music that is easy to generate empathy, easy for the audience to understand, and has a strong narrative. As a music creator, constantly challenging oneself and trying new content is a meaningful endeavor. We hope to produce quality content, convey positive energy through it, and let everyone know that we have a team dedicated to crafting music content with heart. We aim to convey a global, beautiful set of values that can be recognized across different cultural backgrounds, bringing our work to audiences at home and abroad.

**人民网：这次参与《轻涟》的多版本演绎，在歌曲演唱上有哪些特点？
People's Daily Online: In the various interpretations of "La vaguelette" this time, what are the characteristics in terms of song performance?**

尚雯婕：《轻涟》这首歌偏向于流行的音乐剧，歌词上偏向古典码词的方式，我发现它里面还有一些法国“香颂”的痕迹，所以在演唱的时候，特地把小舌音发得相对明显一些。
Shang Wenjie: "La vaguelette" leans towards a pop musical style, and the lyrics tend to use a classical coding style. I found traces of French "chanson" in it, so when singing, I deliberately made the uvular fricatives more pronounced.

歌曲的歌词与故事情节是对应的。这个人物遇到了困境，所以在歌曲前半段，更多是一些铺陈性的情绪描述，略带悲伤，埋下伏笔，我也尽量平铺直叙一些。在较响的弦乐间奏后，人物内心有了一些挣扎和犹豫，突然之间又出现一个高亢的旋律，代表她已经做好决定，要自我牺牲，这里就像是她对自己作出的一个重要宣言，所以在歌曲的后半段，我选择用大开大合的演唱方式，增强感染力。希望大家在听到这首歌时，更多代入故事情节，感受戏剧张力带来的冲击力、感染力，与人物当下的使命感、宿命感产生共情。
The lyrics of the song correspond to the story. The character encounters a dilemma, so in the first half of the song, there are more emotional descriptions, somewhat melancholic, laying the groundwork and foreshadowing. I tried to present it in a straightforward manner. After a louder string interlude, the character experiences some inner struggle and hesitation. Suddenly, a high-pitched melody appears, representing her decision to self-sacrifice. This part is like an important declaration she makes to herself. So, in the second half of the song, I chose a more powerful singing style to enhance the emotional impact. I hope that when people listen to this song, they can immerse themselves more in the story, feel the dramatic tension, emotional impact, and empathize with the character's sense of mission and destiny.

## Promoting Traditional Culture and Building Bridges of Communication

**人民网：此前，米哈游推出了原创戏曲《神女劈观》，这次再次挑战人声创作，创作团队的初心和目标是什么？
People's Daily Online: Previously, miHoYo released the original opera "The Divine Damsel of Devastation," and now you're once again venturing into vocal composition. What is the original intention and goal of the creative team?**

罗白：我们相信好的艺术形式，可以跨越语言的隔阂。在制作《神女劈观》时，我们将中国的传统与新潮结合，汲取了传统戏曲等中华优秀传统文化元素，将古老艺术形式融入其中，也由此获得不少海外用户的积极反馈，他们认为这是一段很美的故事，会被中华文化打动。
Luo Bai: We believe that good art forms can transcend language barriers. When producing "The Divine Damsel of Devastation," we combined Chinese tradition with modern elements, drawing from excellent traditional Chinese cultural elements such as traditional opera. By incorporating ancient artistic forms, we received positive feedback from many overseas users who found it to be a beautiful story that touched on Chinese culture.

这次制作《轻涟》，虽然挑战了另一种演出形式，选用的文化要素也有些不同，但我们的初衷是一致的，希望能够学习到不同艺术的美，为大家带去良好的视听体验和丰富的情绪感受，也是由近到远，由身旁到远方的一次拓展尝试。我们始终想要做好自己应该做的事情，用更加积极、开放的心态去面对自己的作品，认真负责地呈现它，展示给更多用户。在这个过程中，可能就会有一些意料之外的收获。
In the production of "La vaguelette," although we are challenging a different performance format and using different cultural elements, our original intention remains the same. We aim to learn from the beauty of different art forms, provide a good audio-visual experience and rich emotional feelings for everyone. This is an attempt to expand, from the familiar to the distant, from the nearby to the far away. We always want to do what we should do, face our works with a more positive and open mindset, present them seriously and responsibly, and showcase them to more users. In this process, there may be some unexpected gains.

**人民网：米哈游产品的配乐中经常出现民乐等传统文化元素，如何让这些配乐更好地传播中华文化？
People's Daily Online: Traditional cultural elements such as Chinese music instruments often appear in the music of miHoYo's products. How do you make these soundtracks better disseminate Chinese culture?**

苑迪萌：音乐作为伴随场景、角色、剧情存在的重要内容，传递了重要的情感，我们希望大家在这个过程收获感动和美好的回忆。只要听到每个版本的音乐作品，都能让大家回忆起当时的体验和感受。比如说在根据中国传统文化特色设计而成的璃月地区，音乐设计上我们以中国传统民乐为基础，融入了很多民族乐器。像《神女劈观》汲取了中国传统戏曲元素，用京戏的方式进行演绎。未来我们也会不断探索，把各种各样优秀的中华民族传统音乐风格融入合适的场景、剧情里。
Yuan Dimeng: Music, as an essential part accompanying scenes, characters, and plotlines, conveys important emotions. We hope that everyone can gain inspiration and beautiful memories through this process. Whenever you hear the music from each version, it should evoke memories of the experience and feelings at that time. For example, in the Liyue region designed based on the characteristics of traditional Chinese culture, we used traditional Chinese folk music as the foundation and incorporated many ethnic instruments. "The Divine Damsel of Devastation" drew from traditional Chinese opera elements and was interpreted in the style of Peking opera. In the future, we will continue to explore and integrate various excellent traditional Chinese musical styles into suitable scenes and plotlines.

**人民网：米哈游如何以数字产品为依托，进行中国文化的时代表达？
People's Daily Online: How does miHoYo use digital products as a foundation for expressing Chinese culture in the modern era?**

罗白：作为一个中国本土的创作团队，我们会将各自的生活经历和创作经历相结合，自然而然地会在这个过程中传递出很多中国文化要素，以及中国情怀。比如说剧情中“海灯节”的设定，对应的是现实中农历新年到元宵节的一段过程，像云堇这个角色，背后融入了很多传统戏曲的影子。作为一名中国人，我们所追求的对于国家的、家庭的守护，人与人之间的美好情感，美好品质的传承等等，都会在创作过程中自然流露，并且能够获得很多受众的共鸣。
Luo Bai: As a Chinese local creative team, we naturally integrate our life experiences and creative experiences, conveying many elements of Chinese culture and sentiments. For example, the setting of the Lantern Rite in the plot corresponds to the process from the Lunar New Year to the Lantern Festival in reality. Characters like Yun Jin incorporate many shadows of traditional opera. As Chinese individuals, our pursuit of guardianship for the country, family, beautiful emotions between people, the inheritance of beautiful qualities, and more, all naturally manifest in the creative process and resonate with many audiences.

**人民网：音乐如何架起文化交流的桥梁，未来希望在音乐创作上注入怎样的新活力？
People's Daily Online: How does music serve as a bridge for cultural exchange, and what new vitality do you hope to inject into music creation in the future?**

尚雯婕：所有需要表达的东西，都可以用音乐进行无差别传递，甚至不需要语言，旋律本身就可以传达当时的心境，这就是音乐的神奇所在。我们要用音乐的传递能力，去连接不同文化之间的年轻人，以及不同的文化形态。所有由音乐串联出来的核心就是感动。未来，或许可以将传统文化与现代音乐模式多做一些巧妙的结合，尤其对于一些年轻的音乐创作人，以文化交融的形式，让大家看到中国年轻人的创造力，还有如何去跨越古今文化的能力。
Shang Wenjie: Anything that needs expression can be universally conveyed through music, even without language; the melody itself can convey the mood at the time, and that's the magic of music. We want to use the communicative power of music to connect young people from different cultures and various cultural forms. The core that music threads together is emotion. In the future, perhaps we can cleverly combine traditional culture with modern musical styles, especially for young music creators. Through the fusion of cultures, we can showcase the creativity of Chinese youth and demonstrate their ability to bridge ancient and modern cultures.
