Chapter 71: Learning with an open mind

I just returned to Beijing and haven’t had time to rest for a day.

Li Qi received a call from the crew of”The Lotus Lantern”. Li Qi then remembered that he had recommended himself to the director before and wanted to dub the Erlang Shen Yang Jian himself. The call was also to discuss the dubbing.

“I’ll be there tomorrow.” Li Qi thought for a moment and replied

It won’t be long before”Startling by Each Step” starts airing, and Li Qi has to record his first music album before then, so that he can release it to the market after it’s aired on TV, and at least make some money and increase his fame.

The next day, Li Qi came to the company that was producing the post-production of”The Lotus Lantern”. Because this was a CCTV drama, the post-production must have been done in Beijing, which saved Li Qi the trouble of traveling a long distance. He got in the car almost immediately and arrived at the location.

After entering the company and greeting the dubbing director and other staff, Li Qi started his work directly. In his opinion, dubbing is to repeat his lines on the spot.

But soon, Li Qi was clicked

The dubbing director pointed out several different problems of Li Qi and demonstrated the correct interpretation methods of some lines in person. Only then did Li Qi finally understand that dubbing is a science and it is not that one can do a good job in dubbing just because one has good lines.

“so”

After recording a few more takes, the dubbing director asked for Li Qi’s opinion:”Why don’t we wait a while and let other dubbing actors teach you the basics of dubbing. Your voice is great and your lines are excellent. It would be a shame to just muddle through like this.””

“”Okay.” Li Qi nodded.

Since he has shortcomings, he should accept them with an open mind. This is the job he volunteered for, so he naturally cannot do it perfunctorily.

“Let me do it.” A young man at the side said with a smile, and then introduced himself to Li Qi:”My name is Zhao Yi, and I am responsible for dubbing the male protagonist Chenxiang in”The Lotus Lantern”. My work for today is finished, why don’t we chat?”

“Please give me more advice.”Li Qi said politely

Zhao Yi smiled and said,”The layman’s understanding of dubbing is that it’s just a matter of dubbing a voice. You are an actor, so you are half an expert. Your line skills are even as good as many professional dubbing actors, but this is not enough. Light, heavy, fast, slow, depressed, raised, paused, and frustrated. This is the eight-character motto that a respectable director taught me.……”

Li Qi listened carefully

Zhao Yi found a stool and sat down:”Before the formal dubbing, there are a few small common senses that should be popularized.

One is that although there are many sounds in”The Lotus Lantern”, they can basically be divided into regular sounds and irregular sounds.

-The novel was taken from the (rolyz) website. Close where you’re reading it and support us on our website for more free novels-

The sounds of speaking, such as chatting, introducing, shouting or giving speeches, are all regular sounds, while irregular sounds include coughing, gasping, screaming, crying, shivering or singing, laughing, eating, etc.

Among them, regular sounds are easier to handle.

You just need to grasp the needs of the role, mainly the ups and downs of the tone.

You are the actor of Yang Jian, this is not difficult for you, so I can teach you some vocal techniques for irregular sounds.

Li Qi nodded. After learning some techniques from Zhao Yi, he got a feel for it and recorded another clip with these little techniques. But this time, the techniques seemed too deliberate.

Zhao Yi shook his head:”The skills are acceptable, but very deliberate, just like some voice actors in our circle who like to show off their skills, either purely surging and shocking shouts, or infinitely trembling throat resonance, and it is precisely these superfluous and deliberate performances that add a big flaw to the originally excellent work.……”

Li Qi humbly accepts criticism

For him, dubbing is a strange world. If the crew does not use live recording and he does not want a dubbing actor to dub for him, he may need to dub his own character in the future, so it is not bad to learn more now. (To read the novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Moreover, learning dubbing well will also be beneficial to his lines. As the saying goes, more skills are better than less. After half a day of last-minute training, Li Qi was able to do dubbing again. His learning ability is still very strong.

Of course, the most important reason is that Li Qi is too familiar with the role of Yang Jian. Even if his professionalism is not as good as that of the voice actor, no other voice actor can express the mentality and emotions of that character more accurately than Li Qi. This is also the reason why the dubbing director praised Li Qi even though he thought his skills were too poor at the beginning.

Compared with dubbing, this is the advantage of actors

In this way, in the next few days, Li Qi was busy with the post-production dubbing of the role of Erlang Shen Yang Jian. With the help of Zhao Yi and the dubbing director, his personal dubbing level was constantly improving. If possible, he might be able to continue dubbing the characters he played in the future.

Not only that, with my current level, I should have no problem coping with the program”Sound into the Scene” initiated by Mango TV in the future.……

Li Qi secretly thought

There are many actors who use their original voices in their TV series or movies. This is to prevent the audience who are familiar with the actors from being distracted. Of course, this does not mean that actors who do not use dubbing are necessarily superior. After all, the use of dubbing or original voices is very complicated and cannot be simply discussed.

Ten days later

Erlang Shen Yang Jian, who was dubbed by Li Qi himself, is finally out. Under the high requirements of the dubbing director, Li Qi did his best in both lines and pronunciation.

All of this has made Li Qi look forward to the broadcast of”The Lotus Lantern” in advance![]
