听觉逆袭：《浪浪山小妖怪》的声音表达 与底层叙事研究

Auditory Counterattack: A Study of Sonic Expression and Grassroots Narrative in The Little Monsters of Langlang Mountain

摘要: 本文旨在从听觉文化研究与声音表达研究视角，切入对国产动画电影《浪浪山小妖怪》的个案分析。研究认为，该影片实现了一次显著的“听觉逆袭”。即声音设计从传统的画面附属与氛围烘托工具，跃升为叙事驱动与意义生产的核心机制。论文首先分析影片如何通过“去神话化”的声景建构，将传统西游叙事中的奇幻空间解构为映射当代底层生存现实的听觉空间。继而探讨其如何运用反类型化的音乐与隐喻性音效，打破神话类型的听觉成规，建立与大众的深层情感联结。最终，研究聚焦于声音场域中的人际相处与地位关系，论证影片通过勾勒小妖怪们从“失语”到“发声”的听觉轨迹，完成一场为底层群体赋权的叙事实践。这场“听觉逆袭”不仅是艺术形式的创新，更是一种深刻的文化表达，它使声音成为审视当代社会结构、表达平民精神诉求的关键通道。

Abstract: This paper conducts a case study of the domestic animated film The Little Monsters of Langlang Mountain from the perspectives of auditory culture studies and sonic expression studies. The study argues that the film achieves a remarkable “auditory counterattack”, in which sound design is elevated from a traditional tool subordinate to visuals for atmosphere enhancement to a core mechanism driving narrative and producing meaning. First, the paper analyzes how the film deconstructs the fantastical space in the traditional Journey to the West narrative into an auditory space reflecting contemporary grassroots survival reality, through the construction of a “demythologized” soundscape. It then explores how the work employs anti-generic music and metaphorical sound effects to break the auditory conventions of myth genres and establish a deep emotional connection with the public. Finally, focusing on interpersonal relations and status dynamics within the sonic field, the study demonstrates that the film fulfills a narrative practice of empowering grassroots subjects by outlining the little monsters’ auditory trajectory from “voicelessness” to “voicing”. This “auditory counterattack” is not only an innovation in artistic form, but also a profound cultural-political expression: it enables sound to become a critical channel for examining contemporary social structures and articulating the spiritual demands of the common people.
