“Composing music for Guns and Roses was a fantastic journey.” Professor Nathan Wang and his close friend director Ning Hao shared their music compositions and working relationship on “Guns‘N Roses” with the audience, which they pointed out was quite a different process from scoring in Hollywood. Professor Wang and Ning Hao mutually discovered the idea of using the “Tango” feel as an overall genre for the movie, giving it a unique shape and character. Also important to the composer and director was the combining of Chinese instruments with the fullness of the western orchestra, thus forging an “east meets west” musical scenario.
