Chapter 078. It's another year of Comic Con
In June, the graduation project display of Ningjiang University's animation major once again landed on Tomato Video Network, and due to last year's grand occasion, the number of hits of this year's works is also much higher.
It's just that the audience who was waiting to see such an excellent personal animation as "The Voice of the Stars" was disappointed, this time the graduation project was mediocre, and there was not even a high-quality painting content like Zhang Ran's basketball, which made people feel that the Animation School of Ningjiang University had declined.
Xu Rui naturally watched these videos, his idea was to see if there were any newcomers worth looking forward to, although in most cases, even if there were, they would be recruited by Tomato Video Network first, but Xu Rui always had to find out.
After looking around, there was really no newcomer worth paying attention to, and he closed the web page.
"Boss, it's time for us to audition."
Cheng Ke said, holding a briefcase in his hand and preparing to go out.
"Okay."
Xu Rui cleaned up and stood up, and followed Cheng Ke downstairs.
They drove to the building of the media studio, and when they entered the lobby on the first floor, they saw a sign showing the auditions and recordings of several animes.
"The Wolf and the Cat" directed by Wu Yi is the second audition for female characters today, and "The Girl Who Can't Laugh" by Mushroom Pictures is voiced on the fourth floor, while the voice acting of "Madoka Magical Girl" is on the second floor.
Xu Rui took the elevator to the second floor and saw a group of girls standing in the corridor.
Since most of the characters in "Madoka Magical Girl" are women, this audition is also full of female voice actors.
"Director Xu is good!" "Good director." "Director early."
It was a familiar picture of a group of people saluting Xu Rui again, but Xu Rui saw a familiar person inside this time.
"Director Xu!"
Su Liyu looked youthful and lively in a suspender T-shirt that exposed her collarbones and shoulders, cropped pants that showed her fair calves and ankles, and white strappy sandals.
"Ah, Liyu, it's early."
Xu Rui responded, and there was no time for small talk, so he entered the recording studio first.
Sound director Tian Zihui was as always, she said hello and started the audition work according to the process.
Regarding the role of Lu Muyuan, in fact, Xu Rui has a number in his heart, Su Liyu's voice is childish with a hint of transparency, which is very suitable for such an innocent and innocent role, but the role of complex emotions brewed in the later stage, he has found Su Liyu to audition before, and he is basically satisfied, this time there are few auditions for the role of Lu Muyuan, if nothing else, Su Liyu will once again serve as the heroine of the work of Phantom Electric Animation.
It's not that Xu Rui is admirable, but it's really difficult to find someone who fits this setting and has acting skills.
Su Liyu came to try the audition of "Unnatural Death", but her voice was obviously not suitable for the protagonist, so she didn't participate, and she participated in two animations during this period, and her performance was quite good.
Xu Rui's focus this time is on other roles.
Burdened with the fate of reincarnation, Xiao Yan needs an experienced voice actor with a high degree of control over the voice, and several other roles are not the kind of newcomers who can control them, so most of the voice actors who came this time have several years of experience.
In the audition room, a mid-twentieth woman is holding a script.
"Lu Muyuan, if you cherish your future, don't try to be a different version of yourself from ...... now"
This is what Xiao Yan said to Lu Muyuan in the first episode, at first glance it sounds nothing special, but in fact, when you look back at it later, you can find that this sentence has a deep meaning.
This requires the voice actor to express his feelings skillfully, and if it is not handled well, it will lead to emotional misalignment.
"That seems good."
Xu Rui bowed slightly, the voice actor in the audition room is called Zhai Xinyi, who has debuted as a voice actor for five years, and has played dozens of roles, large and small, with a cold timbre, mature and with a hint of girlishness, and most importantly, her feelings are in place, almost making Xu Rui think that the real Xiaoyan is talking.
"Then I'll make a note of it."
Tian Zihui tapped on the keyboard and registered on the form.
After a while, another voice actor with a slightly hoarse voice audition, a very special voice actor, her audition role is Lan Xing, a girl who looks uninhibited and arrogant, but is actually slender and soft.
"This is okay, what do you think, Sister Tian?"
Xu Rui looked at the information, this voice actor is called Ye Jiafeng, he has debuted for seven years and is thirty years old, but his voice still maintains the texture of a girl.
"Well, I think it's good, too."
The audition lasted all afternoon, and it was not over until the evening, when Su Liyu walked into the audition room.
"It's finally over."
She said, then asked, a little apprehensively.
"How's it going, is there a more suitable person to show up?"
Xu Rui had already told Su Liyu about things before, so she was still a little worried now, because most of the people she saw who came to audition were experienced voice actors, and Su Liyu didn't know if she would be replaced.
"Not for the time being, you are still Lu Muyuan."
Xu Rui smiled, although there are also powerful voice actors who come to audition for the protagonist, but the timbre still can't meet Xu Rui's requirements, according to the current point of view, this kind of innocent and fateful setting at the same time for the girl role, Su Liyu is indeed the most suitable candidate Xu Rui can find.
"That's good, I also specially vacated the next schedule, if Director Xu doesn't want me, then I won't have anything to eat."
Su Liyu teased, and secretly relieved her heart, she asked again.
"By the way, I shouldn't have to go on stage at the Ningjiang Comic Con in the future, can I go shopping with you?"
"Absolutely."
Xu Rui nodded, only to find that the time was already June.
......
The dubbing was finalized a week later, and the production crew quickly engaged in intense pre-dubbing to meet the needs of the trailer.
Different from the previous production process, Xu Rui did not distribute all the scripts to each voice actor, but gave them episode by episode according to the advancement of the plot, among them, only Zhai Xinyi, who served as the voice of Xiao Yan, got all the scripts, and Xu Rui also told that the content of the script was top secret, and the whole project was carried out in secret, except for the official publicity and the haunted figure of Xu Rui who was photographed by some people in the media studio and other places, I couldn't find any information about "Madoka Magical Girl".
June is over soon, and the sultry summer unique to Ningjiang is coming, and at the same time, there is also the annual animation industry conference and the Ningjiang Comic Con.
Unlike the last pure visit to play soy sauce, this time, Xu Rui's own work was nominated, which is naturally more formal.
This year's Ningjiang Animation Industry Conference began.
