After leaving the Southern Station, the movie actor Hu Ge had been absent from the "business" for nearly half a year. The latest "out of the circle" was still based on the unrestrained hosting skills of his youth…
However, on the first day of 2020, everyone’s "Lao Hu" still received the honor of the most breakthrough male actor on the M list issued by the movie channel. This recognition comes from contributing to the complex role of Zhou Zenong.

"The Wild Goose Lake": Auditory "scheming"
End of the party, a fierce New Year.In this "Wild Goose Lake", which interweaves complex love-hate good-evil relationships, the "wild" use of color makes the fierce propaganda instantly worth the price. But before color movies became mainstream, sound movies had become the general knowledge of the world film industry; for the evaluation standard of "film sense", "listening" is as indispensable as "seeing".
"If the visual refinement of’The Wild Goose Lake ‘creates the tension of the social atmosphere outside the narrative for the film, then the delicacy and fullness of the sound processing of the film creates the drama of the psychological conflict of the characters inside the narrative."
ambient sound Inner tension excavator
Similar to the visual scene, the sound in a movie can also be divided into "foreground" and "back scene".To verify the ambient sound effect pairatpersonThe externalization of the psychological state of things, Wu Guanping chose Yang Shujun and Liu Aiai to go to Junping wonton shop and Zhou Zenong joint scene.
Ambient sound paragraph pull tab
Start: Entering the market, the background sounds include market noise, square dance music, intermittent popcorn boiling, etc. With the gradual change of square dance music, a pop of popcorn disrupts the overall sound rhythm.
[Vaguely uneasy foreshadowing]
Development: When the two entered the wonton shop, the sound of the market gradually weakened, and the sound of the spoons and bowls in the shop gradually increased, accompanied by irregular footsteps and ignition.
[Liu Aiai’s Externalization of Tension in Looking for Connectors]
Climax: Zhou Zenong’s "horse boy" appears, the noise in the background gradually rises, the loud popcorn pops suddenly, and the music of the square dance group dressed in plain clothes turns into the foreground again.
"True Danger Comes: Hunt and Gunfight"
There are no lines, and the sound effects are diverse; Yang Shujun’s nervousness of reporting the case in advance is full of unknown fear with Liu Aiai, and "silent" is far better than sound in the scattered changes of the environmental stress and scenery.
In fact, the design of this section is exactly the same as the ending of the two women walking side by side again; but after the baptism of reality, the two have already moved towards a real "alliance".
music acoustics Powerful narrative assistance
Except for "prescribed situations" like square dancing, "The Wild Goose Lake" rarely uses sections of music formed by sheet music. "Its music is all assisted by the narrative through acoustics."
Music acoustics paragraph pull piece
Music acoustics: choose representative sounds and music notes in music, and cooperate with ambient sound, often used in sports scenes.
Exterior location, day
Starting point: the acoustical music section gradually strengthens and pushes forward to the future.
[Liu Aiai sees Zhou Zenong,Immediately, the two started to walk together]
Running: Music completely dominates the foreground.
[In front of the huge billboard, Liu Aiai slowly advanced,Zhou Zenong follows behind]
Before this paragraph, Liu Aiai had established a basic trust relationship with Zhou Zenong – that is, his "agreement" to report Zhou Zenong instead of Yang Shujun had been completed. The picture of the attractive real estate on the billboard seems to be in line with Liu Aiai’s future that she will exchange the reporting bonus for a happy life. The expressionless Gui Lunmei was "betrayed" by the mood of the music.
End: Music returns to acoustical music notes.
From the vision of the future,The numbness and tension of returning to reality]
Sound effects "close-up" The finishing touch of suspense
Water drops ticking, clocks clicking, chickens crowing and dogs barking… Just like the unexpected Visual Identity, special sound effects like close-up "amplification" are often very promising in suspense passages.
Sound Suspense Paragraph Pull
Starting point: the sound of breaking chopsticks.
[Liu Aiai, who has called the police, has a lot on her mindEnlarged by the sound effect close-up]
Development: The lady boss of the noodle shop started to urge the account.
[Liu Aiai leaves the table when she hears the sound,Declare inner guilt and unease]
Fudian: The sound of slapping cucumbers starts.
[A sign of danger, Zhou Zenong begins to be vigilant]
The sound effects that seem to be "startled" are enhanced, which is a quick way to make the audience "empathize" with the suspense. And Hu Ge’s interpretation of Zhou Zenong’s complex emotions at the last moment is both relieved and vigilant, and it is even more regrettable under the cooperation of sound effects.
Sound is far more than a simple natural restoration display in film works. Accompanied by the expected and unexpected sound effects, we understand the complex and strange emotions of Zhou Zenong and Liu Aiai, and at the same time "listen" to understand the helplessness and tenderness behind the fierce neon.
