27-year-old Chen Shiyu sits in his bright office, eyes locked on a screen playing a piece of music from a popular film. As a film composer, his job is to turn stories into melodies(旋律).
Chen’s work always starts with a talk with the director. “We talk about the film’s story, background and the kind of music that fits,” he says. They also decide where to put music in the film—this depends on the director’s thoughts and what the music needs to do, such as showing a character’s happiness, sadness, or fear.
After the meeting, Chen heads to his computer. He uses special software to write music, creating a simple melody first. When he’s happy with the melody, he invites musicians to play it. And then all the recorded sounds should be mixed together. Mixing is important because it balances the sounds of different instruments, making sure no part is too loud or too quiet. This step makes the music sound smooth and fit the film perfectly.
To make music fit a film, Chen knows his instruments well. Every instrument has a special sound: some instruments like dizi and pianos make soft, relaxing sounds, while other instruments like violins or drums can play short, quick notes to make viewers feel nervous. Composers also match the music’s speed to the story. Exciting scenes need fast music, while love stories call for slow, gentle music.
What skills does a film composer need? Chen says deep music knowledge is a must. He also needs good computer skills for his software. But most importantly, “You have to talk well with your team,” he adds. “Directors, musicians—everyone needs to understand each other.”
For Chen Shiyu, making film music isn’t just a job—it’s about using sounds to make stories feel real. Thanks to talented composers like Chen Shiyu, we can feel the films not just with our eyes, but with our ears.
