Top-notch sound mixing, no need to go abroad
"Generally a good 'big movie' will have top-level panoramic sound requirements, which is to be compatible with 11.1, 7.1, and 5.1 channels, which are more common in theaters, and are compatible from top to bottom. We used to have no such Equipment, when the sound requirements are high, some dubbing productions have to go abroad to do the mixing work. Now that we have such a studio, we strive for such films, and we can record them in Shanghai. This is a sign There are no sexual things before." Director of Shanghai Film Studio, voice actor and director Liu Feng is very excited about the completion of this recording studio.
In 2012, the first Dolby Atmos movie "Brave" was born. In the past ten years, more and more films have been produced using this technology, including "The Wandering Earth", "Where are the Fantastic Beasts", "Kung Fu Panda 3" and other popular blockbusters in recent years.

This technology can combine the content of the film to present dynamic sound effects, create sound effects from far to near, and add speakers to the ceiling. It can achieve sound field surround, show more sound details, and greatly improve the audience's viewing experience.
For translation studios, the recording studio is the actor's studio. "Our predecessors have always said that the Chinese language is the most beautiful, flexible, dynamic and expressive language among the languages in the world. Pass it on."
As a Chinese voice familiar to audiences such as Kung Fu Panda, Professor Snape, Shrek, Garfield, etc., Liu Feng has participated in the dubbing work of a large number of top production films, "Because now the film technology is more and more developed, the production of pictures is more and more refined. Yes, the scene has a very high degree of reduction. We used to dub, and sometimes we felt that the Chinese language seemed to float outside after entering foreign films, and it was always incompatible with the language spoken in this environment. Then, with such a panoramic view of facilities and equipment Sound, our voice can fully enter this prescribed situation, and integrate with these music and sound effects environment, so that everyone can feel that our language is one in this play.” At the same time, more advanced Technology will also put forward higher requirements on the performance of actors and the sound production of the entire film, "Any little noise or flaw will be amplified. A little flaw."

When our films are facing export, they all need this kind of international material sound with certain standards. Only a mixing studio can produce a complete set of sound that meets the standard. We hope to use this technology to serve Chinese films to go out and tell Chinese stories well." Liu Feng said.
Based on the current technical standards for movie screenings in cinemas, not all movies need to be made with panoramic sound versions, but the application prospects of this recording studio are far more than that. Liu Feng revealed that in addition to undertaking film dubbing work, video sites such as Tencent and iQiyi are now trying to introduce the format of panoramic sound, and many films and episodes will also produce panoramic sound in order to meet the playback needs of video site users. sound version.
