《秦淮景》是為了配合一群能歌善舞的江南藝伎的地方民歌小調(diào)。由于南京是中國南北歷史和文化的交匯點(diǎn),沒有明確的屬于自己的標(biāo)志性音樂文化,多數(shù)民歌小調(diào) 都是外來的。純屬南京的東西或者性格不鮮明,或者沒有得到當(dāng)?shù)厝巳旱墓沧R(shí)。為此,我們不得不將尋找范圍擴(kuò)大到江蘇省。經(jīng)過很多論證和篩選,最終決定以民歌 侉侉調(diào)(《無錫景》)為素材進(jìn)行改編和填詞,并根據(jù)影片需要,更名為《秦淮景》。另外,秦淮藝伎歷史著名,很多人在歌舞詩文方面有很高的造詣,為此導(dǎo)演決 定讓她們用蘇州評彈的咬字方式演唱(蘇州評彈這種曲藝形式直到今天還在南京繼續(xù)存在),以增強(qiáng)電影的特色。
