As the core theme song of the hit 2019 costume drama Good Bye My Princess , Chu Jian(First Encounter) has become an auditory hallmark deeply tied to the characters' fates in the hearts of "Princess Fans" (a nickname for the drama's avid audience), thanks to its mournful yet melodious tune and emotionally piercing lyrics. It has further solidified its status as a classic in domestic ancient-style film and television soundtracks. This work, which accurately aligns with the core of the drama's plot, serves not only as a musical footnote to the love-hate entanglement between the male and female leads but also as a phenomenal cross-media soundtrack model.
First Encounter was written by Li Yufei, composed by Feng Da, arranged by Yu Hao, and jointly performed by singers Yu Zhaoyuan and Ye Li. The creative team became deeply involved in the project during the script phase, taking the core conflict of "love and forgetting" from the original novel as the anchor for their creation. Feng Da, the composer and a long-time fan of the original novel, once admitted, "I sincerely hoped that Xiaofeng and Xiao Wu could stay in the days of their 'first encounter' forever" — this emotional resonance was directly infused into the melody composition.
The sheet music of this song is in the key of B♭. Originally, two flutes (or two different instruments) with high and low pitches were required to simulate the alternating effect of male and female voices. However, for simplicity, the sheet music has been slightly adjusted and can be played on an F-key flute with the fundamental tone tuned to 2.
