配乐大师：约翰·威廉姆斯（2024）

The music details the smallest things.
强尼为灵魂之井那场戏裡的 每条蛇做不同的配乐
Johnny was scoring individual snakes during the Well of the Souls sequence.
他会为快速移♥动♥、张开颈部、后仰
He was putting little decorations on different snakes that were
或是准备攻击的蛇,个别调整细微的配乐
making quick moves or hooding or rearing back or striking.
他想让《玛丽昂的主题曲》 呈现出很浪漫的好莱坞感
He wanted something very Hollywood, very romantic for "Marion's Theme"
因为他说 “音乐应该可以更拉近他们的距离”
because he said, "I think the music could really make them even closer."
她不常出现在画面裡 然而她却是重要角色
She wasn't there that much, except she was a central character.
所以我们得给她一段配乐
So we had to give her a cue
让观众想起还有她的存在
that would remind you of all the things that she embodied.
他为玛丽昂写的主题曲非常动听
His theme for Marion was so beautiful
令人想起以前的好莱坞配乐
and it's so evocative of those old Hollywood scores,
譬如法兰兹威克斯曼 米克罗斯罗札和大卫拉克辛
like from Franz Waxman, and Miklós Rósza, and David Raksin.
就算在续集裡 他还是维持经典主题曲的风格
And even on the sequels, he keeps the standard themes in there
提醒观众这依旧是印第安纳琼斯的故事
to remind people that it's still about Indiana Jones.
但他每次都会找到 全新的方法用音乐说故事
But he finds a whole new way of telling the story musically each time.
(1984年《魔域奇兵》)
Duck!
趴下来
我们在奥斯卡颁奖典礼上...
So, we're at the Oscars,
(关继威) (演员)
...约翰威廉斯就坐在史蒂芬的后面
and John Williams was sitting right behind Steven.
我看到约翰时简直乐歪了
And I saw John and I freaked out
因为在《魔域奇兵》之后我就没见过他了
'cause I haven't seen him, you know, since Temple of Doom.
所以我给了他一个拥抱,史蒂芬很兴奋
So I gave him a hug and Steven was so excited.
他说:“继,你还记得 你的《小滑溜主题曲》吗?”
He says, "Ke, do you remember that you have a Short Round theme?"
我说:“当然记得” 毕竟有多少演员可以说出
And I said, "Of course I do." I mean, how many actors can say that
他们有鼎鼎大名的约翰威廉斯 所做的专属主题曲?
they have a theme composed by the legendary John Williams?
然后我们开始一起哼那首主题曲
And then we both started humming, simultaneously, that theme.
真的很棒,非常好的主题曲
It's great. It's such a great theme.
(1989年《圣♥战♥奇兵》,无配乐)
要展现约翰的配乐为画面 带来多少活力和情感
The greatest way to demonstrate how much energy and emotion
最好的方式就是 播放画面时完全不搭配音乐
John's scores can give a sequence, play it absolutely with no music at all.
只有音效和对话
Just sound effects and dialogue.
然后搭上配乐再播放完整的画面
And then go back and do the whole scene again with all the cues.
(有配乐)
你就会认识到电影音乐有其存在的必要性
And you'll recognize the absolute value of film music.
打板
Marker.
本片是小型史诗片
This movie is a tiny epic.
(《E.T.外星人》幕后花絮)
我认为用来形容约翰的配乐很贴切
And, uh... And I think John's score will be very suitable to that, uh, description.
好,没有声音会比较好,直到...
Okay, it would be nice if we didn't hear anything until...
我们该走了...
We have to go now--
“我们该走了,ET”
"We have to go now, E.T."
好
Okay.
那要接在“我们该走了,ET”的后面
And that's right after, "We have to go now, E.T."
就是它再次回来的时候
Is where it comes back in again.
给我台词结束的时间点 - 好
Give me a timing for the end of the line. - Yeah.
鹿抬起头来,然后转身
The deer looks up and turns.
- And if something could... - Mm-hmm.
要是有音乐能衬托鹿就好了
...just catch the deer.
再用那个竖琴声好了 - 再用一次
Maybe that harp again. - That harp again.
我喜欢那个竖琴声 - 好,再用竖琴声
I love that harp. - Yeah. Yeah, the harp again.
我很期待每次约翰说
I look forward to every time John says,
他要弹奏初稿给我听
"I have sketches to play for you."
我好期待那天的到来
I cannot wait for that day.
我完全不紧张 也绝不担心音乐不会达到我的期望
I'm never nervous. I'm never thinking it's not going to measure up to my hopes.
这是麦可骑单车的音乐
This is Michael on his bike.
在森林裡抢著找ET - 在森林裡抢著找ET
Racing to find E.T. in the forest. - Racing to find E.T. in the forest.
艾略特独自回家 - 这是基于这个形象来演奏的
Elliot's come home alone. - It's-It's played off of this figure.
然后最后用这段配乐来搭配画面
And we eventually get into this key with this one.
我们的合作方式一直都是
There is a consistency in our collaboration
他总是用相同的方式看待电影
where he always sees the film in the same way,
但在某种程度上 当他为我的电影做完配乐后
but in a way, after he does music for my movie,
我开始用他的角度来看待我的电影
I start to see my movie in his way.
我跟他用一样的角度来看待我的电影
I see my movie the way he sees my film.
Home. Home. Home.
家...
Home. Home. Home.
《尤达的主题曲》 是个甜蜜的惊喜,真的是这样
"Yoda's Theme" is a... is a sweet surprise. It is.
有人懂这个意思吗?
Is anybody gonna get it?
大概有两亿人
About 200 million people.
真的吗?
Really?
125
One twenty-five.
双簧管和乐器在演奏时要...
Oboes and instruments that play...
请强调二拍和三拍
Accent two and three please.
节奏感会比较好
So we have more rhythm.
想办法集中注意力
Try to concentrate.
儘量不要分心,就让史蒂芬...
Don't be... Try not to be disturbed by Steven's...
继续拍摄
...filming.
不行,感觉好奇怪
No, it's just weird.
就像在厕所裡装了一台摄影机
It's like having a camera in your bathroom.
然后刚好在冲澡
You know, when you're taking a shower, you know?
还好我有穿衣服
I'm glad I'm dressed.
请用弱音器再开始
Beginning please with mutes.
我在《E.T.外星人》裡负责拉小提琴 我就躲在小提琴的后面
I played violin on E.T., and I'm just hiding out in the back of the violins.
我坐在后面拉小提琴,但我边听边看
So I'm sitting in the back playing, but I'm listening and watching,
我难以形容那种兴奋之情
which was, I cannot tell you how thrilling that was.
在《E.T.外星人》裡有一段 加长的竖琴旋律
There is an extended harp melody in E.T.
用来呈现E.T.和艾略特的关係
that is indicative of E.T.'s connection with Elliot.
那位竖琴手叫桃乐丝雷姆森 我记得约翰与她合作
The harpist's name was Dorothy Remsen, and I remember John working with her.
桃乐丝,在颤音节拍裡...
Dorothy, in the trill beat...
妳能像那样弹完颤音吗?
Can you... Can you finish the trill that way?
懂吗?
You know what I mean?
只要我的左手不弹颤音就好
If I can leave out the trill in the left hand.
没问题 - 好
Sure. - All right.
还有一位很棒的现场录音钢琴家 雷夫格里尔森
And there was a great session pianist player named Ralph Grierson,
他是约翰的御用钢琴家 - ...到左边,雷夫
who John used all the time. - ...to the left, Ralph.
倒数第二个小节,两个四分音符
Second to last measure, two quarter notes.
《E.T.外星人》的片尾曲 是一首音乐连贯的宏伟作品
And the end title for E.T. is this big flowing thing.
他指名雷夫来弹奏
And he gave Ralph this
并给他四天的练习时间,再来弹这首曲子
and he let him practice it for four days before he played it.
《E.T.外星人》是我在电影院 所看的第一部电影
我来自酷玩乐团
I'm from a band called Coldplay.
在乐团巡演时,我们的上台音乐
And on our tour at the moment, we are coming on stage
或者应该是说穿越观众席到舞台上 用的就是《E.T.外星人》的音乐
or in fact, through the audience to the stage, to the sound of E.T.
对我来说,在上演唱会的舞台时
For me, going on stage for a concert,
我想营造出一种飞行感
I wanted something that had the feeling of flight.
所以就想到艾略特骑著他的BMX单车
And so I was thinking about Elliot riding his BMX.
我写信给约翰和史蒂芬 询问是否能使用《E.T.外星人》的音乐
So I wrote to John and Steven to ask if we could use E.T.
他们答应了
And they said yes.
让我感到很兴奋
It just makes me feel, uh, excited.
那也是因为我用这个音乐上台过很多次了
That's also 'cause I've come on stage to it many times now.
我认为他所做的每一首作品 就像是完整的旋律族谱
Every piece that he does, to me, has a sort of whole family of melodies.
好,要开始了,回到主题曲,要开始了
Okay, here we come. Back to the main theme. Here we go.
太完美了
Perfect.

唐格尔伍德代表著很多意义

电影的行程安排一向很棒
The schedules of film had been good.
通常春天是我们很忙碌的一年
Because we usually just work in a very busy part of the year in the spring.
然后或许会在夏天休息
And you may have a summer off,
因为要安排电影的发行时间
because of release schedules of the film.
突然间有了三週的空閒时间
And suddenly there's three weeks where you're not working
就有空来做别的事情
and you have time to do something.
所以那样的安排很不错
So that's worked out very well.
从1980年开始,我每年都会来这裡 至今已经有43年了
Every year I've been here since 1980, which is 43 years.
这已经是我生活的一部分
It's part of my life.
现在我来这裡 最多大概一年做两场音乐会
