Thai musician reveals the process of making the soundtrack for the Vietnamese film 'Once Upon a Time There Was a Love Story'

The film has music supporting the emotional story of love and friendship from the original work of writer Nguyen Nhat Anh.

A scene from the movie "Once upon a time there was a love story".

The film's score Once upon a time there was a love story performed by Thai musician Chapavich Temnitikul. He is a prominent name in the field of music production for movies in the Thai market and in the Asian region, receiving prestigious awards in his home country such as "Best Original Film Music" at the 2024 Suphannahong National Film Awards for the movie You & Me & Me .

The Thai musician said that when he received the film script, he divided the story into 3 stages: childhood, adolescence and adulthood to find suitable music. When starting to shoot, director Trinh Dinh Le Minh's team sent Chapavich Temnitikul behind-the-scenes previews. The warm, clear frames inspired the musician to choose symphonic music with romantic colors. Because he wanted to keep the rustic nature of the story intact, the instruments he used were classical guitar, harmonica, organ...

The 9X Thai musician and music producer is excited about the project "Once upon a time there was a love story".

In the later stages of the film, the soundtrack has a more intense rhythm, suitable for the constantly changing plot developments in the last 30 - 40 minutes of the film. The entire process of making the soundtrack was an online exchange, but the Vietnamese and Thai crews worked quite well together.

Romantic scenes combined with melodious music create a good impression on viewers.

In addition to the sophisticated and meticulous soundtrack throughout the film, director Trinh Dinh Le Minh and the production team spent a lot of time working with musicians and singers to develop new soundtrack songs and refresh familiar songs.

There are 4 songs included in the movie, which are: There is a love story, Love and mourning, Calling the name of a sadness and Far away from the wind season . Apart from the song by musician Phan Manh Quynh written on request, the remaining songs were chosen because they fit the film's setting, helping young audiences feel closer.
