This star is wrong

The post-production of "Dark Glory" went smoothly.

However, when dubbing, I encountered a little trouble.

Most of the actors in the whole play are acting school, and the dubbing is very smooth, but An Xiaoran's dubbing has been tried many times, but it doesn't work.

For actors, lines are one of the basic skills.

Most powerful actors will use original voice dubbing, unless there is a problem with their own voice.

In the entertainment industry, there are indeed some actors who are not suitable for dubbing because their original voice is quite special.

For example, the voice of a male duck, or the voice is too high-pitched to fit the character, then you need to hire a voice actor.

The profession of voice actor has developed very maturely.

Moreover, there are some very good voice actors who imitate the voices of stars, and they can hardly hear the difference.

There are even netizens who use "monster" to describe the dubbing circle.

Of course, imitating the voice of a star is just a means to show off the voice.

When it comes to dubbing film and television dramas, it is not to imitate someone's voice, but to match the voice of the character.

Ark Culture has a dedicated dubbing studio.

An Xiaoran came for three consecutive days, Fang Xing listened to three versions of the dubbing, but was not satisfied.

Although her roles in the whole play are not too many, she is playing Song Li in middle school and is the heroine. If the dubbing is not good, it is easy for the audience to play.

"I'm sorry, director, I'm sorry, I..." An Xiaoran bowed and apologized with an embarrassed expression on her face.

"Dark Glory" has already finished filming, and the crew has paid her a film salary, a total of 5 yuan.

When An Xiaoran got the money, it felt like a dream.

Although she was often scolded by directors and acting teachers when filming, she really didn't think filming was hard work.

And in less than a month, he received 5 yuan.

She always felt that the sweat she paid was worth less than 5 yuan.

Now, the dubbing has been failing, she feels very guilty, and feels sorry for the crew members who work together.

"It's okay, no need to apologize. You can go back, you don't need to come tomorrow." Fang Xing waved her to leave.

The dubbing work will continue, and there is no time to chat with her now. Since her dubbing is not good, then I have to find another way.

"Huh?" An Xiaoran felt a little wronged.

Because Fang Xing's words are very similar to dismissing someone.

"You don't have to come tomorrow."

That doesn't sound like a friendly word at all.

"I'm sorry, director, I really worked hard on my lines. I'm sorry, I'll practice as soon as I get back, and I will do well." An Xiaoran became more and more worried, and even a little worried in her heart, worried that the crew would ask for 5 yuan back.

Fang Xing saw through her small thoughts, and couldn't help laughing: "Maybe my tone of voice was inappropriate, and I'm not dissatisfied with you. The scene has already been completed, and if the dubbing fails, your work will be over, so you don't have to come back tomorrow. No other meaning."

"What about the dubbing?" An Xiaoran didn't know much about the film and television industry.

In her subconscious mind, she played the role, and the voice should naturally be hers as well.

"I have other plans."

Fang Xing replied casually, then turned to the assistant director and said, "Contact the voice actor and find someone with a voice similar to Song Li."

"Okay, I'll get in touch right away." The assistant director agreed and went out to make arrangements.

When An Xiaoran heard it, she immediately understood.

It's not that she doesn't know that there is such a thing as a voice actor, but she was a little nervous just now, and her mind didn't turn around all of a sudden.

After thinking about it, she sighed and asked, "Director, is my dubbing really bad?"

Fang Xing replied: "In layman's terms, it's just that the words are not good. This is normal. In the acting course, the lines are the one thing. It's not surprising that there is no one who has specially trained in dubbing.

"You don't have to worry about it. It's just a matter of finding a voice actor. It's a small matter. You can go back to class and don't have to run this way anymore."

An Xiaoran nodded and apologized, "Director, I didn't mean to say something bad..."

She paused, and then asked: "Director, if you can't speak the lines well, does that mean you can't be an actor?"

"Not really. However, lines are one of the basic skills of an actor, and it is indeed an obstacle for an actor's career to speak well." Fang Xing thought about it and replied.

An Xiaoran nodded again and asked, "Director, do you think I can be an actor?"

She is confused now.

She studied at the Normal University, and after graduation, the corresponding occupation belongs to the education industry.

However, after acting in a TV series, she actually became more interested in actors.

Among other things, the salary alone makes it impossible not to be interested.

Fang Xing shook his head and smiled, and said: "It depends on your own opinion, if you want to be an actor, just give it a try. If you don't try, how will you know if it will work?
"However, being an actor is not as easy as you think.

"Did you see those extras when you were on the set?

"In this industry, group performances are the norm, and those who can mix it up are actually a minority.

"Of course, after "Dark Glory" starts broadcasting, your starting point will be higher than the average person, but you didn't study acting, and if you want to continue in this line of work, you will definitely have to suffer a lot in the future.

"So, think about what you want to do in the future.

"It's not easy to be the top in any industry, and actors are no exception."

An Xiaoran nodded in gratitude and said, "Thank you director, I will seriously consider it when I go back."

Strictly speaking, the reason why she was able to participate in "Dark Glory" was because she was the first female lead in middle school.

It's not because of how good her acting skills are, but more because of luck, because Fang Xing thinks she's suitable.

Of course, she is indeed very smart, and the scenes and shots she filmed are all passable.

However, the lines are different, it is not enough to read a few lines casually.

……

The assistant director was very efficient, and sent a few audio messages via WeChat in the afternoon.

"Director, listen to these dubbings. The first one is from He Zijing. Her manager heard that it was the dubbing of "Dark Glory", and immediately asked He Zijing to record a part and send it over. The second one is..."

Fang Xing clicked on the audio one by one to listen to the dubbing of these voice actors.

Since the audio sent is compressed, the sound quality is not very good.

However, it doesn't matter.

These few audios are mainly used to understand the voice characteristics of the voice actor and see if they fit the role.

After listening to it twice, Fang Xing went back to message: "This He Zijing is pretty good, and his voice is a bit like Song Li, can you find me for an audition?"

The assistant director asked: "Yes, when?"

Fang Xing: "The sooner the better."

Assistant director: "He Zijing replied that there is a job that ends at [-] pm today, and I can arrive at the company in half an hour. I asked if the time is suitable."

Fang Xing: "Okay, then come and audition at 04:30 in the afternoon."

After confirming the audition time, Fang Xing went back to the recording studio and continued to dub other characters' lines.

……

Song Li is being dubbed.

She has a lot of roles, and it takes many days to act.

And there are too many dubbings in one day, the voice is not in good condition, and the dubbing effect is not good.

So, she comes every day, does a few scenes, and then rests.

"I can't tell, you're quite demanding of details."

When Song Li first started, she wanted to get the script of "Dark Glory" out, and set up her own crew to shoot, because she had high quality requirements, and she was worried that Fang Xing would not meet her standards.

However, after working together for a few months, she found that although Fang Xing's TV dramas were highly productive, he was not perfunctory at all, and had a high demand for details.

An Xiaoran was playing her character in middle school. She heard that An Xiaoran's dubbing was not good, so she came to watch it a few times in person.

In fact, according to her opinion, An Xiaoran's dubbing wasn't that bad.

If the requirements for details are not high, it can also be used for later repairs.

However, Fang Xing decided to find a voice actor after listening to the clips of An Xiaoran's voice acting.

"If you have the ability to do well, of course you have to do your best." Fang Xing replied casually.

"He Zijing is very good, her dubbing should be fine." Song Li turned to chatting about this voice actor who will come to audition later.

Although voice actors are called actors, they are actually invisible to the audience.

As a result, even if the dubbing actors are top-notch in the industry, they are rarely recognized by the audience.

However, top voice actors are well-known in the industry.

Song Li had worked with He Zijing before, so they knew each other.

Fang Xing had never cooperated before.

In the five previous dramas, most of the roles were dubbed by actors.

After all, in the previous dramas, the leading actors were either teachers from the Film Academy or veterans of the National Theater.

Drama actors' line skills are much better than ordinary actors, so there are naturally fewer opportunities to use voice actors.

Occasionally, voice actors are needed, but they are not the main actors. There is no need to hire top voice actors. After all, the cost of dubbing must be included in the cost.

……

35:[-] p.m.

Accompanied by her manager, He Zijing followed the front desk to the recording studio.

"Hi Director Fang, I have admired your name for a long time, and I finally met the real person. I am He Zijing." He Zijing shook hands very respectfully, greeted people with a smile, and her voice could feel a silky feeling.

He Zijing looks to be in her 30s, with light makeup and not as gorgeous as a female star, but she is still good-looking.

"Hello, hello, I have to come over to audition after work, thank you." Fang Xing was also very polite.

"It's not hard, let's start now?" He Zijing was not too polite, and wanted to show her ability as soon as possible.

After all, in front of her is Flying Eagle Shidi, who is also the director of five hit TV series.

This time the new drama is even more cooperating with Song Li after the TV show.

This is obviously aimed at winning prizes.

Maybe if you are lucky, you will be nominated for a dubbing award, and you will really be heading for the pinnacle of your life.

Therefore, when He Zijing heard that it was the dubbing of "Dark Glory", she rushed over to say anything.

"What do you need to prepare?" Fang Xing asked.

Every voice actor has to prepare before dubbing, and their habits are different.

"Play the video clip to be auditioned, just watch it for a few minutes." He Zijing replied.

"Okay, let's start then." Fang Xing invited her into the recording studio, asked the assistant director to play the clips that needed to be dubbed, and then handed her the script book.

He Zijing watched the video carefully, then read the lines silently for a while, then raised her head and said, "It's done."

Fang Xing didn't ask for dubbing, and planned to let her dub according to her own ideas and see the effect.

The movie clip starts playing again.

He Zijing held the script book in her hand, pointed into the microphone, and started dubbing.

"You wrote on your personal homepage that your ideal is to be a 'good wife and mother'. Are you serious?"

"From today onwards, my dream is you, we must meet again."

Fang Xing stood outside the glass wall, put on the earphones, heard these lines in his ears, and looked at He Zijing with a sense of separation.

Because He Zijing appeared to be in her 30s, but the voice that came out of her mouth sounded like a little girl.

This dislocation between sound and appearance is very obvious.

After dubbing this passage, He Zijing smiled and asked into the microphone, "Director Fang, is it okay?"

Fang Xing raised the mic and talked to her: "I hope that the dubbed voice has a little bit of Mr. Song Li's timbre characteristics. It is best for the audience to hear the voice and know that the two heroines in different time periods are the same person. "

He Zijing's dubbing just now was completely the voice of a middle school student.

In fact, it is no problem to match directly according to this voice.

However, Fang Xing hoped to be more perfect, so he made this higher request.

He Zijing thought seriously.

Of course she is familiar with Song Li's voice, and she even imitated Song Li's voice when she first entered the industry.

However, it is very difficult to ask for the voice of a middle school student and to be like Song Li.

He Zijing looked up at Song Li next to Fang Xing, then raised her hand and made an OK gesture: "I'll give it a try."

Imitating voices is not that difficult for those who can.

As long as you find the sound characteristics of the imitation object, and bring this characteristic when dubbing, you can create a sense of similarity.

He Zijing re-dubbed it again, bringing Song Li's voice characteristics.

After Fang Xing finished listening, surprise appeared in his eyes.

"Great, when can we record?" Fang Xing made a decision directly.

Song Li stood aside and watched, with another pair of earphones in her hand, listening to them.

She also finds it interesting that the voice is like a middle school version of herself.

Of course, her voice was not like this in middle school.

After becoming an actor, her voice has undergone line training and has changed a lot.

Therefore, what He Zijing imitated was her current timbre, not her middle school timbre.

But it doesn't matter, if the audience can hear the two voices, it is a success.

After the dubbing is done, the post-production of "Dark Glory" is almost complete.

However, there is still work to be done.

That is sent for trial.

Because the subject matter of "Dark Glory" is very sensitive, the State Administration of Radio and Television even asked Fang Xing not to film it.

Therefore, it is hard to say whether it can pass the trial.

However, this time in "Dark Glory", Song Li's Lijing Culture has invested.

Song Li has a great influence in the TV drama industry, and she can give a lot of help in terms of auditing.

At the same time that the series was submitted for review, the pre-heating also officially started.

After hearing the news, major TV stations and major video websites came to discuss cooperation.

Even before the finished film came out, there were already video sites offering high prices for the exclusive broadcasting rights.

After all, it is a drama co-produced by Fang Xing and Song Li, which gave the video site great confidence. Even if they haven't seen the finished film yet, they dare to pay a high price to buy out the exclusive rights.
