Chapter 581: Isn't It Too Easy?
The second group of PK guests were Liu Qiaosong and Zhou Wenjian. After ridiculing Xiao Yao, the sound emcee Zeng Guoqiang brought the rhythm of the scene back to the inherent flow of the show, announced the names of the second group of guests, and said to the two, "Now please introduce your vocal guests, and then invite them out." ”
The guest invited by Liu Qiaosong is his old classmate, and the guest invited by Zhou Wenjian is an old partner who has worked with him in four or five plays, and they are all of the same age as them. These two vocal guests are also well-known and powerful actors, even if they haven't met them in private, everyone knows them. After the two appeared, they naturally had a warm welcome and polite greetings.
These two pairs are old friends who have known each other for more than ten years, and they have a very good personal relationship and a very tacit understanding in cooperation. After entering the dubbing room and going down to the stage, the two groups performed very well in the first two rounds. Although the atmosphere of the scene was not as relaxed and lively as Xiao Yao and Xu Hongguang, the two younger pairs of guests, and the laughter and screams of the audience were much less than those of the two pairs of guests in the first group, the applause and cheers were no worse than the two pairs of guests in the first group.
After the second round of performances, Liu Qiaosong and Zhou Wenjian's vocal guests also stayed in the audience, and the two returned to the sound hall through the dubbing room. When the two returned, they also received applause from the other guests, and then conducted an internal vote as usual. This time, Zeng Guoqiang replaced the voting props with red bean cakes.
In the previous episodes of the regular program, there were four guests in each episode, and this time there were eight guests in the finals, and there were sixteen guests in the final with support. Although not every round of the finals will be performed, and the interactive sessions will be much less than before, the recording time of the finals will be much longer than the previous regular season, and it is expected that it may reach more than ten hours.
The program team did not plan to let these guests record for more than ten hours in one go, in addition to the rehearsal of the last round of sound show, the program team also arranged another break to suspend the recording.
After the internal voting of the second group, more than half of the first half of the program was recorded, and it was time to pause the recording.
Among the four vocal guests who have appeared, except for Xu Hongguang's vocal guest Liu Zhishan, who did not perform alone, the other three vocal guests all performed a dubbing alone in the first round of classic voices. At present, a total of 11 dubbing performances have been carried out, plus the introduction of the host, bright voices, various interactive exchanges, and the final guests' separate talent show on the stage, which has been recorded for more than three hours, and the time has reached about 7 o'clock in the evening, which is almost the time for dinner.
After dinner, everyone rested for more than half an hour. At about half past eight in the evening, the program team invited all the guests back into the sound hall and began the recording of the second half of the first half.
The guests of the third group are Ding Ping and He Ying, two female guests. As usual, they introduce and invite their vocal guests before entering the dubbing room to start the dubbing performance.
Ding Ping's guest speaker was a young actor from the National Theatre. Although its popularity among ordinary audiences is not too high, it is also very strong to occupy a place in a national-level performance unit such as the National Theater. He Ying's guest speaker is an excellent young actor who is very popular in a certain audience group, but is very low-key.
Unlike the previous group of two pairs of guests, who have been old partners for more than ten years, these two pairs of guests are not particularly familiar with each other. He Ying and her vocal guests have never cooperated before, and this is the first public cooperation.
Although he is not too familiar with his partner, the two pairs of guests still have a tacit understanding in the second round of cooperative performances. Of course, these four people are also powerful actors, Ding Ping's partner did not perform alone in the first round, and the other three solo dubbing performances were also very exciting.
Overall, the performances of the two pairs of guests in this group are also of a very high standard. However, perhaps after recording for so long, the audience at the scene also felt a little tired, and the overall atmosphere of the scene was not as enthusiastic as the two groups of guests in the first half of the performance.
The guests of the last group are naturally Zhu Jinyang and Gao Chengguang. Putting the two oldest guests together, and putting them at the end of the first half, there is some finale in it. But judging from the on-the-spot performance, the performances of the two pairs of guests who appeared in this last group seem to be inferior to the previous three pairs.
Gao Chengguang's language skills are indeed very strong, and his dubbing performance is also very distinctive, but after all, he is a professional cross talk actor, not a professional actor, whether it is acting or dubbing, the professionalism is still worse. If you really dig deeper, the inherent hard power of its dubbing performance is not as good as that of others.
Gao Chengguang was able to win the single-phase championship and enter the finals, on the one hand, because his famous cross talk actor who makes people happy has a very good audience. His voice acting is simply not bad, and it is also very characteristic. The audience, who has a great affection for him, were surprised to see him appear in this show, and after listening to his dubbing performance, they also unconsciously amplified the surprise of his dubbing performance. On the other hand, it is because the performances of the other three guests in the same period are not particularly good, and there are no too amazing performances.
The guest invited by Gao Chengguang is his old partner in cross talk, and he is another cross talk actor who helps him be a cheer. In the first two rounds of performances of this pair of professional cross talk actors, the most outstanding part is neither Gao Chengguang's solo performance in the first round, nor the dubbing performance of the two in the second round, but a cross talk that the two of them told the audience in the talent show after the two rounds of performances were over.
Zhu Jinyang is an experienced professional actor, but in addition to being old and not being at the peak of his career, there is another point, although he is from a professional class, his education, fame and experience are very powerful, and he is recognized as a powerful actor, but he has not won many awards for acting, and the impression to ordinary audiences is not up to the level of an old drama with superb acting skills.
He was able to enter the finals, on the one hand, because the dubbing performance in the regular season was very different from his original image and the roles he had played on the premise of good quality, which gave the audience a special sense of freshness and surprise, and on the other hand, because of the deep popularity of a classic role, the audience unconsciously added some emotional points.
Zhu Jinyang's guest is also an actress of the same age as him and also has rich performance experience. This actress is also Zhu Jinyang's partner in the drama that impressed the audience the most and had countless feelings. The two stood together, and the memories evoked were even stronger.
However, his guest speaker is a very good expert in local opera, not an expert in theatrical performance and dubbing.
The duo is the oldest of all eight pairs and has the most experience in acting, but they are not the most professional. Not to mention the most, Xiao Yao from the perspective of a bystander, the dubbing performance of this pair can only be ranked at the bottom of the eight pairs.
Putting aside the two additional points of cross talk actors' cross-border identities and special feelings that can evoke childhood memories, the strength of these two in dubbing performances is not in the top eight. And in the finals, whether it is the crossover of cross talk actors or the emotional bonus points of that classic character, the audience has already experienced it once, and it is difficult to say whether there will be extra points.
Among all the eight pairs of guests' performances, Xiao Yao didn't dare to assert who had the best performance, but he could judge in his heart that the last two pairs of guests could only be ranked in the last two of the eight pairs of guests.
Among the four vocal guests who appeared in the second half, only He Ying's vocal guests were prepared and performed a solo dubbing performance, and the other three vocal guests did not do a separate dubbing performance. So the recording time of the second half is also a little less than the first half.
However, the two rounds of dubbing performances by Zhu Jinyang and Gao Chengguang were over, and after returning to the sound hall, the recording of the first half was not all over.
Zeng Guoqiang, the sound emcee of this final, is also a powerful veteran actor who has been a professional voice actor. After all the performances of the eight finalists with the supporting guests were over, Wang Yao, the host on the stage, invited Zeng Guoqiang to the dubbing room again, and asked Zeng Guoqiang to give a dubbing performance to the audience.
Zeng Guoqiang is two years older than Zhu Jinyang, and he is already over 60. Although in terms of the physiological condition of his voice, he is no longer at the peak of his career, but the strength of the old drama bone is still extremely deep. Zeng Guoqiang's dubbing performance was very exciting, which made the audience feel a little tired at the scene.
However, Zeng Guoqiang is the sound emcee, not the finalist. His performance was just an extra benefit to the audience, and no matter how wonderful the performance was, it had no impact on the eight finalists.
After Zeng Guoqiang's wonderful dubbing performance, the recording of the show was suspended again. The eight finalists left the sound hall and came to the large rehearsal room arranged by the program team for the rehearsal of the final sound show.
In this final sound show, the program team invited to rehearse the finalists is a very important celebrity in the Chinese film industry. A director who has won numerous international awards, won the Cannes Palme d'Or in the 90s of the last century, and has been nominated for three major European film festivals.
Whether it is fame or status, this great director is the top existence among Chinese directors. Inviting this great director to rehearse for the eight guests is enough to show the sincerity and dedication of this show. Of course, being able to invite this great director to rehearse such a stage play also proves the quality and reputation of this show from the side.
The final sound show was done by the finalists, and this time there were eight guests, so the stage play had to have at least eight scenes with the main characters who were not very different. It's actually quite difficult to find the right repertoire. It's not hard to find a movie or TV series with eight main characters, it's not hard to find a scene with eight characters in one scene, but it's hard to have eight main characters in one scene and the same scene at the same time, and each character has to have enough wonderful performances, then it's very difficult.
Not to mention Chinese film and television works, it is difficult to find such a scene that meets the requirements in even foreign film and television works. So in the end, the director's voice show is not a scene in one scene, but a combination of five scenes in the same movie.
These five scenes are from an early film work directed by the director himself, "Thorn Qin", from which he took five scenes and made some adaptations. I am going to use these five scenes to tell the story of the very famous "Jing Ke Assassinating the King of Qin" in China.
The first step in rehearsing is to introduce the plot and assign characters. Xiao Yao was assigned the role of Chang Yu, and only appeared in one of the scenes. In this scene, only the two characters he played, Chang Yu and Ding Ping, played by Lu Hou, appeared, which means that he only needs to play against Ding Ping. Compared with others, especially Xu Hongguang who plays Jing Ke and Zhou Wenjian, who plays King Qin, the two guests with three scenes, Xiao Yao's task is much easier.
There is only one rehearsal room, and there is only one director, so these five scenes naturally have to be rehearsed one by one. The director followed the order of easy first and then difficult, and the first rehearsal was all scenes with fewer characters. The scene between Xiao Yao and Ding Ping was arranged in the first scene, which was the first to start and the first to end.
Ding Ping is recognized as a good actor in the industry, Xiao Yao's performance foundation is very good, his brain is even better than ordinary people, and his understanding is also very good, so the scene between the two was rehearsed smoothly, and the time it took was not too long.
Whether it is watching the rehearsals of the actors directed by the top directors in China or watching the rehearsals of the other six powerful actors, it is a very rare learning opportunity for any actor. So Xiao Yao, who finished rehearsing his scene, did not leave the rehearsal room and went back to his lounge to rest, but sat on the floor in the corner of the rehearsal room and watched and studied carefully.
Ding Ping, like Xiao Yao, did not return to the lounge to rest after the rehearsal of their scene, but sat with Xiao Yao and watched the director rehearse for others, and whispered to Xiao Yao from time to time.
However, it was already early in the middle of the night, and it had been more than eight hours since the recording of this final began, and everyone was not in a very good state. Those who still have rehearsal tasks are better, and they dare not relax a little. And Ding Ping, who had already completed the rehearsal of her role, had no burden in her heart, and inevitably began to feel tired, and even quietly began to yawn.
After watching it for half an hour, after watching the rehearsal of the second scene, Ding Ping, who was in her forties, felt a little unable to hold on. The sound show at the back was to be performed for the audience on the stage, and in order to ensure the state of the performance, Ding Ping did not force everyone to watch everyone's rehearsals. In order to avoid affecting other people's rehearsals, Ding Ping whispered hello to Xiao Yao, and quietly walked out of the rehearsal room and went to his lounge to rest.
As soon as Ding Ping left, Zhu Jinyang and Gao Chengguang, who had not yet come to the rehearsal of their own scenes, couldn't hold on, and after greeting the staff, they also quietly returned to their lounges, preparing to come back when it was their turn to rehearse their own scenes.
As a result, the only audience remaining in the rehearsal room is somewhat conspicuous.
The rehearsal of a scene is not continuous, there will be a pause in between, and the director will even exchange ideas with the actors on the spot, and by the way, take a break.
"Director, do I think the work you arranged for Xiao Yao is too easy?" During the rehearsal, Xu Hongguang couldn't help but point to Xiao Yao, who was sitting alone in the corner, and asked the director.
"Well," the director glanced back at Xiao Yao and nodded, "I think so now." ”
"But the role assignment was arranged in advance," the director shook his head and smiled, "At that time, I hadn't seen Xiao Yao's performance in the finals, but I just thought that he was young and inexperienced, so I arranged a relaxed role for him." Now, even if I don't consider his acting skills, just from the point of view of being energetic, I should put a little more burden on him and give him a role with more scenes. ”
