Character experience

Over the past decade, Mei Lin Mao has been responsible for the music of more than 30 Hong Kong and Japanese films, including after by Morita Fangguang, in the mood for love by Wong Kar Wai, 2046, the scenery of love by Li Miao Xue and panic vacation by Zhang Zhiliang, and won the best original music award of Taiwan Golden Horse Award for panic. Some people say that his film music has really reached the realm of music and film integration, and has a shocking appeal. After finishing the film music of "in the mood for love" for Wong Kar Wai, Mei Lin Mao gained greater recognition in the world, and then successively composed music for "Zhou Yu's train", "ambush on all sides", "golden armour all over the city", "Huo Yuan Jia", "crime and punishment", "Su Qi'er" and "win the championship", adding more brilliance to the film world.

There is a familiar melody in Wong Kar Wai's blueberry night, but the arrangement has been changed, so the feeling is quite different. It's yumeji's theme written by Shigeru umebayashi, a Japanese sounder, for the film "dream two" (directed by Suzuki Qingshun). Those who have seen Wong Kar Wai's "in the mood for love" may not remember this beautiful waltz that has been embezzled many times music. This time, the music was adapted by Chikara Tsuzuki and replaced with a jazz version of guitar and harmonica ensemble, which made a good time for Elizabeth and Jeremy in the restaurant in the movie.

The younger generation must know Mei Linmao through Wang Jiawei. Another impressive work is 2046. This time, Mei Linmao's music is Zhou Muyun's emotional sustenance and love. In fact, Mei's name has been very popular more than 20 years ago. His soundtrack for "after" (1985) written by Morita Fangguang has made a lot of young literary and artistic people amazing. The Overture and main melody, which are composed of piano and string music, are breathtaking and softened, which is really shocking. It is said that the young writers and artists in those years were proud of looking for the original sound and regarded it as a sign of personal taste. Later, the original sound was lost in the market and became a legend.

In 2002, a double CD Soundtrack Collection of music for films & others by Mei Linmao was included in the soundtrack of "after". This alone has made people see clearly. In addition to the soundtrack of Japanese projection (such as "after" and "dream two"), it also includes the cooperative achievements of Mei Linmao and other Hong Kong directors, such as "ad" by Chen Jiashang It can be said that discone is his master of lyric music, which is very touching; disctwo is diverse, light and changeable in style, which is absolutely the top collection of original music fans.

In 2016, Mei Linmao was invited to make original music for the Netease game "Yin Yang master".
