Chapter 725: Curtain call

Zhang Zi'an and Pegasus walked very slowly, although there were no flashing lights one after another, but they enjoyed the moment of having the red carpet alone.

The red carpet was not long and soon came to an end.

An employee led Zhang Zi'an into the staff passage of the theater, and another employee greeted the children: "Everyone can check in and enter, come in, the movie is about to start!"

There is no need to deliberately guide, the teenagers and girls consciously lined up in two columns and checked in order to enter. The children, who had already left, heard the news from others and were hurrying back.

After entering the theater, the staff opened the door of a room for Zhang Zi'an and Pegas.

"Sir, this is the preparation room, you can prepare a little bit here, and we will call you before the movie starts. There's a TV and DVD player, as well as a CD from War Dog, which you can use as much as you like, but ...... There's very little time left for you, so you'll have to fast-forward and browse through it. ”

The employee pointed to the small room and introduced Zhang Zi'an.

"Okay, thanks. Richard said in German for Zhang Zi'an.

Before leaving, the employee turned back and said sincerely: "Thank you for coming today, otherwise the children would be really disappointed." ”

"You're welcome, it's my pleasure. Richard said.

The employee nodded and left for the time being.

After Zhang Zi'an entered the room, he closed the door and looked at the room.

The room is not large, about the same as a normal bedroom, there is a wardrobe in the corner, which can be used for temporary change of clothes, and there is a TV, DVD, coffee table, and a two-seater sofa, but there is nothing else.

On the coffee table was a Blu-ray DVD of War Dogs — not an official release, with warnings printed on the cover.

The film is currently in the world premiere stage, and the disc must not be taken out of this room to prevent leakage.

I think it was in this room that the simultaneous interpreters watched and pondered the film repeatedly.

Zhang Zi'an turned on the DVD and TV and began to fast-forward the playback - he didn't need to watch it, as long as Richard watched it.

He stared at the open space inside, unleashing the other elves and making them invisible.

"Where is this?" said Fina, looking left and right.

"Cinema. Zhang Zi'an explained, ""War Dog" will have its world premiere here - it's about the premiere, let's just take a look at it." ”

"Haven't you already seen it?" said Fina.

"No, the one I watched before was a rough cut version, not an official screening version, the rough cut version was rougher, and many post-production special effects were not added, and the small screen in the VIP room can't be compared with the giant screen in the real movie theater after all, the shock effect is far worse, and it can almost be regarded as two movies. ”

Zhang Zi'an corrected Fina's misconception, compared with the rough cut version I watched before, compared with the official version, it is no different from the difference between AVI image quality and full HD picture quality.

Pemmas walked up to Richard and asked worriedly, "What's going on, Richard?" If it's too difficult, you don't have to be perfect, as long as you can express it clearly. ”

Simultaneous interpretation is already difficult, and adding emotion to each line of dialogue is almost equivalent to taking over the entire dubbing work of an overseas movie.

Standing on the coffee table, Richard stepping on the remote control with a bird's claw, sometimes fast-forwarding 4x, sometimes fast-forwarding 8x, and sometimes showing key episodes with more dialogue at normal speed.

"Quack, are you underestimating Uncle Ben? Only such a challenge can reflect Uncle Ben's crushing IQ. "It can't be screamed.

"But...... If you fast-forward like this, a lot of episodes will pass by in a flash, right?" Pemmas reminded it.

"It doesn't matter! Look at the idiot poking over there, when he watched the Dongying movie, he basically fast-forwarded to watch it, but it didn't affect him to one after another, as long as the key plot could be seen...... Richard squinted at Zhang Zi'an and said.

"......" Zhang Zi'an told himself to be patient, let it go for the time being, and settle the general account after returning to Binhai City.

Seeing that Richard was confident, Pemmas stopped bothering him.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door.

"Mr. Zhang, is the time up, are you ready?" the employee asked outside, his voice apprehensive.

Richard fast-forwarded to the end at 16x speed, then snapped the TV off, flapping his wings and landing on Zhang Zi'an's shoulder.

"Ready, ready to go. ”

Zhang Zi'an opened the door as it spoke.

The staff was actually quite worried, such a short preparation time made it difficult for him to believe that Zhang Zi'an could successfully complete the difficult simultaneous interpretation work, but at this time there was no other way but to become a horse doctor - in his opinion, Zhang Zi'an's biggest advantage was that he participated in the whole film shoot and could speak German fluently, otherwise the theater management would not be convinced.

When Zhang Zi'an and Feimas appeared next to the screen, the theater burst into applause. As far as the eye can see, except for a few theater employees and executives, almost all the audience members are teenagers and girls from Germany.

While the other competition sections have audiences from all over the world, Kplus and 14plus are dedicated to more than 4,000 schools, youth clubs and student unions in and around Berlin.

The staff led Zhang Zi'an and Feimas to a small litterium next to the screen, helped him adjust the microphone and left.

When the applause subsided, Richard cleared his throat and said in German: "Hello everyone, it's an honor to stand here as today's interpreter. As you know, this film was performed by Pegas, and I participated in the whole process, but what you don't know is that I also learned German and received professional voice acting training, so today I would like to ask you to witness the results of my training. Thank you!"

Zhang Zi'an couldn't understand what it was saying, so he could only cooperate with his mouth slightly open and smiling, but judging from the reaction of the audience, everyone was still surprised by Richard's words.

At this time, it is still correct to brag appropriately, otherwise it is impossible to explain how he can dub a pet shop.

Pemmas crouched quietly beside him.

The other elves walked curiously in front of the vast screen, and no one else could see them in their invisibility anyway.

The lights in the theater quickly dimmed, and the movie was about to begin, and the audience stared at the screen with bated breath, glancing at Zhang Zi'an standing behind the podium from time to time.

Because Zhang Zian needs to pretend to be staring at the screen dubbing, he is facing away from the audience at this time, and he doesn't need to keep swinging his mouth, so he relaxes, otherwise he will be tired of lip syncing for two hours.

The movie begins.

In a fictitious police dog training base, a female German pastor lies on her side in a kennel, and two veterinarians, a man and a woman, in white coats, help her deliver the baby.

"Come on! Come on! Come on!"

"Breathe!"

They cheer up the pot-bellied female dog.

Soon, a cute puppy was the first to emerge from its mother's body, shaking its head from side to side in ignorance.

One of the veterinarians picked it up and looked at its abdomen, "Ah, it's a male, it's so impatient to get out, let's call you 'Lightning'!"

This scene at the beginning of the movie is not in the rough cut version, it should be refilmed by Feng Xuan and them later, telling the origin of the protagonist Lightning's name.

Richard's dubbing is vivid, not only showing the excited and anxious tone of male and female veterinarians, but even imitating the slightly sharp voices of women and the deep and deep voices of men, but it is not excessive, it is still based on Zhang Zi'an's original timbre, so that the audience can hear that this is a deliberately imitated false voice through careful discrimination, and there will be no more doubts.

Seeing this scene, Fina, who was originally in high spirits, remembered the process of delivering the two pregnant female cats, and immediately had a sense of substitution, staring intently at the screen.

The youthful cheeks of the young audience were shrouded in a faint layer of watercolor by the light of the screen, and as the screen changed, various colors mixed together on their faces, but it did not feel funny.

Richard's dubbing did not make the young audience feel any abruptness, completely immersed in the slowly unfolding plot, and they looked fascinated with their half-open mouths, and even forgot to stuff the popcorn in their mouths.

The same is true for Xinghai, Lao Cha and Snow Lion, they are not very used to the extremely wide screen and the sound effects around them at first, and they always feel that their eyes are not enough, but after slowly getting used to it, they perceive the beauty of the giant screen, which is almost like being there. This is by no means the audio-visual shock that can be enjoyed at home or in a VIP private room.

A limited number of adult employees and theater executives exchanged glances with each other in surprise, they didn't have too high expectations for Zhang Zi'an's dubbing, they just felt that Feimas could be present in person, even if the dubbing was not very good, it didn't matter, the children didn't care about Feima's face, but Zhang Zi'an's dubbing effect far exceeded their expectations, it was simply professional!

Pegasus stared at the screen.

Yes, that's what it feels like.

It was as if it had regained the feeling it had in its memory from nearly a hundred years ago.

Kids have always loved its films, then and now.

The choice was made here instead of the Berlin Film Palace, and it was the right one.

Soon, it was also immersed in the carefully edited plot of the movie.

As the plot unfolds, it seems to resurface the scenes of filming in front of its eyes, "action" and "cut" one by one, playing against actors with more or less scenes, crawling and rolling between gunsmoke and dirt again and again, solving obstacles inside and outside the crew...... When the sweat-watered efforts finally bear fruit and become a complete and wonderful movie, it is no longer painful to recall those days and nights when you left early and returned late.

Leisurely enjoying the plot on the screen, glancing at the attentive Richard from time to time, Zhang Zi'an is sure that this is almost the best animal movie he has ever seen - intense and not too bloody and violent, inspirational and sensational, faithfully restoring the blood and tears of the border armed police officers and soldiers and police dogs to protect their families and defend the country...... The most important thing is that the film also quietly mentions the Tibetan mastiff that is flooded in Tibet without making people feel abrupt, and assumes a certain social responsibility.

In comparison, which animal movie is better?

The staff prepared a bottle of mineral water for him, so that he could moisten his throat between dubbing.

He quietly filled the bottle cap with water and put it to Richard's mouth with his body, so that it could drink it as soon as he lowered his head.

When watching a movie with high energy and no urine spots, you will always feel that time flies.

The jokes and misunderstandings between Lightning and the trainer during his growth and training were made by Richard break through the language barrier, which made the young audience understand and laugh, and even the adult audience couldn't help but laugh;

When the officers and soldiers of the border armed police led the police dogs to confront the hostile militants abroad, the small audience held their breath and clenched their little fists to cheer for the armed police and police dogs;

When the three police dogs who were in charge of the task of breaking through the siege and calling for help broke through many obstacles and finally returned to the garrison headquarters with scars, the young audience all shed tears of emotion, especially those adolescent girls, who cried silently......

In the end, the officers and soldiers of the armed police were successfully rescued, stood on the podium with the police dogs, wore the medal awarded by the superior on their chests and saluted, and the movie screen was frozen in the applause of the armed police officers and soldiers in the audience.

The young audience and the few adult spectators also stood up en masse, erupting in louder applause and whistles, especially the freckled teenager who whistled the sharpest and slapped the loudest.

Pemmas was still staring at the screen, which was scrolling through the credits.

It opened its eyes wide and finally saw it!

Starring:

Lin Feng as Liu Xiaokai

Pegasus as Lightning (Courtesy of Marina City Strange Pet Shop)

Although its name only stays on screen for just two or three seconds, that's what it's called, yes.

It was relieved that it didn't have to take the names of other dogs...... The long-standing nightmare is finally over.

The subtitles on the screen continue to scroll.

The cast and crew, including the chief dog trainer Cheung Tzu An, the behind-the-scenes production credits, and the names of the producers and sponsors slipped through one by one, and at the end of the line of subtitles - all the animals featured in the film have been properly housed.

This is the end of the subtitles.

The lights came back on, and Zhang Zi'an bowed for a curtain call.

The staff and theater executives walked quickly onto the stage, shook hands with Zhang Zi'an, and warmly thanked and congratulated him.

The children in the audience were still unsatisfied and were reluctant to leave. Many children said that after the movie was officially released on DVD, they would buy it and rewatch it several times.

The theater planned to send a car to take Zhang Zi'an back to the hotel, but he politely declined.

Alexanderplatz is not far from Potsdamer Platz, so you used to take a taxi to get back by taxi, so you might as well walk back to enjoy the sights of Berlin along the way.

After leaving the theater, the children scattered in droves.

"Let's go, too. Zhang Zi'an greeted the elves.

Richard was boasting about his performance;

Fina was most concerned about what to eat for lunch;

Lao Cha is full of praise for the giant screen and sound of the theater;

Feimas remained immersed in reverie and did not speak;

The snow lion clamored to eat raw brisket to celebrate, or else he would tear off his pants in the street......

Xinghai turned his head and stared at a group of children who were drifting away, still discussing the plot with great interest, and the freckled boy was the loudest, thick and hoarse.

After walking a few steps, Zhang Zi'an found that Xinghai had not followed.

"Xinghai, what are you looking at?" he asked, "everyone is gone." ”

"Meow~" Xinghai happily followed up and said, "I had a child just now, and I may become the chancellor of Germany in 30 years." ”

"Really?"

Zhang Zi'an was surprised, he also wanted to look back to see which child it was, whether he wanted to set it up now, but after thinking about it, forget it, it's more interesting to keep a little suspense in the future, isn't it?
