It blends Chinese classical instruments with modern techniques. The film itself is set in the Qing Dynasty, and the score makes extensive use of erhu, flute, gongs and drums. The rhythm is light and the melody is comical. It is closely integrated with Stephen Chow's body language and rhythm.

Drawing inspiration from the flowing melodies of Peking Opera's Xipi style, he stripped away the drawn-out, melodious tones and infused the music with modern rhythms and a humorous touch, creating a unique \"Wei Xiaobao theme.\" This theme, as fluid and multifaceted as the character himself, forms the auditory thread running through both films.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs Hu Weili stated, \"Music must speak for the character.\" Wei Xiaobao cannot recite poetry, but his wit, timidity, pride, and loyalty are all conveyed through the leaps and variations of the melody. This is not just background music, but a martial arts game written in the style of Peking Opera—seemingly absurd, but inwardly clear-headed; seemingly confused, but actually insightful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDirect DAT master tape extraction, perfectly restoring the analog recording quality of the 1990s. Based on Mr. Hu Weili's treasured original DAT master tapes, high-resolution extraction was performed using Sony's flagship equipment, and mastering engineer Yan Chao was specially invited to perform targeted restoration. While preserving the warm dynamics of the 1990s analog recordings, the sharpness of the jinghu, the crispness of the xiaoluo, and the hoarse, heroic voice of Huang Zhan after drinking are all vividly presented, transcending time and remaining as fresh as ever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n[[Selling Points]]\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e180g 2LP limited edition and individually numbered set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoundtrack of Stephen Chow's classic film\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSourced from the master tapes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes a special recording of James Wong's original song \"Happy to Make a Play\" (Cantonese version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n[[Catalog Number]]CMC-9787881156170[[Artist]]William Hu","brand":"China Digital Culture Group Co., Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"鹿鼎記 Royal Tramp I \u0026 II (1992) \/ Album \/ 2LP Black","offer_id":48380225618165,"sku":"CMC-9787881156170","price":92.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0080\/6417\/2096\/files\/9787881156170.jpg?v=1783472159"},{"product_id":"tang-bo-hu-dian-qiu-xiang-flirting-scholar-1993","title":"唐伯虎點秋香 Flirting Scholar (1993)","description":"[[Release Detail]][[Release Description]]\n\n\u003cp\u003eTang Bohu (Stephen Chow), one of the Four Great Talents of Jiangnan, has many wives and concubines, but they are all estranged, leaving him deeply lonely. Prince Ning (Lam Wai) plots a rebellion and is determined to recruit Tang Bohu, who, to avoid trouble, plans to leave his home. One day, the four talents encounter Madam Hua (Cheng Pei-pei) at a temple. Tang Bohu is captivated by the maid Qiu Xiang (Gong Li) and, to see her, sells himself into servitude at the Hua household, changing his name to Hua An. Madam Hua harbors a deep hatred for the Tang family, but Qiu Xiang secretly admires Tang Bohu's talent. Initially, Qiu Xiang looks down on Hua An, even mistaking him for a lecherous scoundrel, until Hua An takes the blame for her, changing her opinion of him and recommending him for the position of page. One day, Prince Ning led his men to the Hua residence to cause trouble. Hua An, however, was slightly superior in poetry, calligraphy, painting, and martial arts, causing Prince Ning to leave disappointed. Although Hua An resolved the crisis for the Hua family, he also revealed his true identity to Madam Hua. Prince Ning's henchman, the Deadly Scholar (played by Lau Kar-leung), once again wreaked havoc at the Hua residence. Tang Bohu had no choice but to defeat the Deadly Scholar using his family's martial arts skills.
