Interview with "Magic Cube" music producer: LED light show to show Chinese elements

The music production of the LED lighting show and the museum day activities of the Shanghai Enterprise Pavilion is performed by the national first-class composer and famous domestic musician Liu Wei from the Beijing Military Region comrades' song and dance troupe. He said: The music style of the LED light show is generally a distinct Chinese element, and the elements of traditional folk music will certainly be integrated into it, but without losing the cheerful and lively international music symbols.

All-star lineup meets Expo

This Rubik's cube production team can be described as an all-star lineup --- opening and night show director Don Michel, famous lighting engineer Bobby Dickinson, Shanghai Enterprise Joint Pavilion director Gu Yuhang, Liu Wei have participated in Shanghai in 2007. The opening ceremony of the Special Olympics.

Liu Wei said that with the previous experience of cooperation, the masters can be said to be connected. More than 80% of the ideas are OK at once, and only a few have to communicate and adjust. We all know what the other party wants to present, so the cooperation is very smooth and very enjoyable. The 8 minute night show is a creative idea that was only 3 months ago, and the performance of the museum day tonight is only a month ago. It is the tacit understanding of everyone that the wonderful performance can be presented so smoothly to the audience. .

Music needs to be both Shanghai and international

How to choose the songs that best represent Shanghai and highlight Shanghai's corporate spirit, but also international, can be accepted by audiences from all over the country and around the world?

In the end, Liu Wei chose the music that everyone familiar with, such as "Let's scull", "Liang Zhu", "Jasmine", "Our workers have power" in the 8-minute night show. The music after the re-arrangement is combined with the content and pictures of the night show, and the interpretation of the unusual style. "Let's scull" is gentle and soothing; "Liang Zhu" appears twice and dances with the butterfly; the stimulating "The Power of Our Workers" combines the elements of electronic music and rock music with mechanical sound and forging sound. It is in sharp contrast with the previous femininity and has a more impactful impact.

The selection of these music is to evoke memories of Chinese people of different ages, showing the spirit of Shanghai's entrepreneurship, close to the lives of workers, and the melody familiar to the audience throughout the country and around the world. In the music selection of the festival celebrations, the same principles of Shanghai and international are also followed. “Shanghai”, “Night Shanghai” and “Shanghai RAP” also give the audience a nostalgic and refreshing experience. The director Don Michelle also gave me a full creative space. Compared with the movie music, it is necessary to match the characters' plots, dialogues, etc. This time, making music for the Rubik's Cube is more open-minded and more expressive.

Going to the corporate hall is very profitable

Liu Wei, who has been in Shanghai for two days, has visited the Expo Park on May 3. The architecture of Pudong is very grand, and many pavilions showcase many precious cultural relics and works of art. Liu Wei’s words turned, but in fact, Puxi also has many wonderful places. Liu Wei said that college students, especially those who are related to their majors, can go to the corporate pavilion to look at the future technology and development trends, which is definitely rewarding. These technologies are both oriented and forward-looking.

When the reporter asked about a few points for the Shanghai World Expo, Liu Wei said with a smile that this is a very difficult problem. It's hard to say a few points, but the influence of the Shanghai World Expo in the world is absolutely incalculable.
