"Uncle Xu, there are still a few voice actors in your office, and today's dubbing selection has fully exposed this weakness!" Wu Ming looked at the middle-aged man on the side and said dissatisfiedly, "Hurry up and train newcomers after you go back." ”

In fact, a voice actor agency with 80 people is already considered a large office, and even in island countries with a developed animation industry, only a few voice actor agencies can reach this number.

It's just that unlike the large number of voice actor agencies in island countries, Xiangjiang only has a professional voice actor agency.

And the voice of nature is not only the voice of the animation produced by TiMi Animation, but also the animation of the Sunrise Society and Studio DEEN in the island country. These three animation companies need to dub more than 20 animations a week combined, and only 80 people seems to be a bit small.

Of course, if you don't think that the dubbing of each anime is similar, in fact, there are only a dozen professional voice actors. But Wu Ming didn't want to watch the animation, and the sound he heard was the same.

"Uncle Xu" raised an eyebrow and said with a bitter smile: "Boss, your requirements for voice actors are so high, and you must be a Chinese voice actor." There are very few people in Xiangjiang who can speak Chinese, and even fewer people who have dubbing talents, and these eighty people are still patchwork together. I really can't find more suitable candidates for training. ”

The man called "Uncle Xu" by Wu Ming, whose full name is Xu Weigang, is the general manager of the Xiangjiang Department of the Voice of Heaven firm.

In fact, Xu Weigang thought that it would be enough to have twenty or thirty professional voice actors, after all, that way can the benefits be maximized, and he can pay a lot less salary. It's just that Wu Mingke didn't like that much money and gave him a death order, so he had to increase the number of voice actors to eighty.

Wu Ming was also stunned when he heard Xu Weigang's explanation, he never thought that Xiangjiang's population of more than five million people would not be able to find some suitable voice actors. However, after thinking about his requirements for voice actors, he suddenly realized that Xiangjiang may not be able to find so many suitable candidates.

First of all, the premise of Chinese voice actor has excluded more than ninety percent of the candidates. Excluding those who are not suitable for age and have no dubbing talent, it is estimated that there are only about 1,000 people.

Moreover, there are some differences between animation dubbing and film and television dubbing, and the ups and downs of the characters in TV series and movies will be smaller, which is closer to speech in life. And the animation dubbing is more dramatic, exaggerated, or secondary, which is completely different from the usual tone.

Wu Ming doesn't want his cartoon dubbing to be the same as those Chinese dubbing in his previous life, with an empty tone and lack of feelings, so he has very high requirements for the voice actors of Tianla.

At the beginning of the period, Wu Ming was afraid that the office would train all the voice actors to be film and television voice actors, and he personally guided the teachers of those voice actor training classes, until these teachers all understood their intentions and understood what kind of voice actors they wanted to cultivate, and then he let go and stopped meddling in the affairs of the office.

But fortunately, Wu Ming's efforts are still effective, the reason why the Chinese dubbing of cartoons in his previous life is so bad, mainly because voice actors can't make much money for dubbing cartoons, and Huaxia is not like the island country has a group of voice actors who love to dub animation. Therefore, only a few cartoons such as "Qin Shi Mingyue" have perfect dubbing.

In order to develop Chinese voice actors, Wu Ming injected a large amount of money into the voice of Tianlai. Even the most ordinary voice actor has a slightly higher salary than ordinary people every month, with 2,500 Hong Kong dollars.

And those best voice actors have a salary of tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars per month, which is five or six times that of ordinary people. Tempted by money, these voice actors work harder than one another. Although the current average level is not as good as that of its counterparts in the island country, it is much stronger than the dubbing of those scum in the previous life. I believe that if this continues, these voice actors will be able to catch up with their counterparts in island countries sooner or later.

This is another reason why Wu Ming is reluctant to recruit Cantonese voice actors, not only does it need to spend twice the price, but it also requires more time and manpower, which is too troublesome.

After pondering for a while, Wu Ming chuckled and said, "Uncle Xu, you can go to the mainland to recruit people! There are so many people in the mainland, most of them can also speak Chinese, and it is relatively simple to find some voice actors suitable for training." ”

Xu Weigang was also stunned when he heard Wu Ming's proposal, thought carefully for a while, and hesitated: "But it won't be a little troublesome to recruit people in the mainland, right?"

At this time, the mainland had just begun reform and opening up, and it was still relatively closed, so Xu Weigang had a trace of anxiety about this.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Wu Ming hurriedly waved his hand when he heard this, and said disapprerovitically, "My relationship with the mainland is still quite good, and this little thing is nothing." Don't forget, many of TiMi Animation's employees are recruited from the mainland. ”

For example, today American Animation is already a large company with hundreds of employees, but with Xiangjiang's talent reserve, it is obviously impossible to reach this scale in a year.

Some high-end talents, there are too few in Xiangjiang. Although ordinary production personnel can be mass-produced through training, it takes a long time. Most of the people who went to the island country for training were people with relevant experience, such as the comic assistants of the Order of the Phoenix.

Since it was more troublesome to recruit people in Xiangjiang, Wu Ming sent people to various provinces and cities in the mainland to recruit.

Animation-related majors are inherently unpopular professions in China, and they can't be assigned any good jobs after graduation. Coupled with the temptation of high salaries, there are still quite a few people who are willing to come to work in Xiangjiang.

That's why TiMi Animation has grown to its current scale in a short period of time.

With Wu Ming's assurance, Xu Weigang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, I'll send someone to the mainland to recruit people in a few days." ”

Wu Ming nodded and advised: "Remember to recruit more people, by the end of next year, I will see that the voice of nature has at least 200 qualified voice actors." ”

Xu Weigang was taken aback and immediately asked, "Is 200 people too much, about 150 people is enough?"

"Not much, not much!" Wu Ming shook his head and explained, "Now the three animation companies together produce 25 animations at the same time, and there are about a dozen or twenty main characters in an animation, and 200 people are just right.

And at that time, the strength of the three companies will be strengthened, and there will be several more animations produced. If it weren't for the fact that I'm afraid that there are too many people and you don't have enough teachers to train them, I would have to add dozens of people. ”

Since the big boss said so, Xu Weigang could only reluctantly agree.

Then Wu Ming turned around, looked at Li Mingfeng, and ordered seriously: "Uncle Li, you hurry up tomorrow and let them dub the promotional video, and send it to Star TV for broadcast when the time comes." ”

Li Mingfeng nodded and responded: "I know, after I finish the dubbing tomorrow, I will personally send the promotional video to Star TV." ”

I'm sorry, I was called by the boss to do things yesterday, and I will make up for yesterday's rest!
