Chapter 511 - If you don't pass the dubbing, please voice actors

The post-production of Dark Glory went well.

However, when it came to dubbing, I ran into a little trouble.

Most of the actors in the whole play are acting schools, and the dubbing is very smooth, but An Xiaoran's dubbing has been tried many times, but it can't work.

For actors, lines are one of the basic skills.

Most powerful actors will use the original voice, unless there is a problem with their voice.

In the entertainment industry, there are indeed some actors, because their original voices are relatively special, and they are not suitable for dubbing.

For example, if the voice of a male duck is too sharp to fit the role, then you need to hire a voice actor.

The profession of voice actor has developed very maturely.

Moreover, there are some very good voice actors, imitating the voices of celebrities, and they can't hear the difference.

There will even be netizens who use "monster" to describe the big bull in the dubbing circle.

Of course, imitating the voice of a star is just a means to show off the voice.

When you really want to dub a film and television drama, you don't have to imitate anyone's voice, but to match the voice of the character.

Ark Culture has a dedicated dubbing studio.

An Xiaoran came for three days in a row, and Fang Xing listened to three versions of the dubbing, but he was not satisfied.

Although her role in the whole drama is not much, she plays Song Li in middle school, she is the heroine, if the dubbing is not good, it is easy for the audience to play.

"I'm sorry, director, I'm sorry, I'm ......" An Xiaoran's expression was very embarrassed, and she bowed vigorously to apologize.

"Dark Glory" has been completed, and the crew has paid her a full 50,000 yuan.

An Xiaoran got the money and felt like a dream.

Although she was often trained by the director and acting teacher when filming, she really didn't feel that filming was hard.

And in less than a month, he received 50,000 yuan.

She always felt that the sweat she had paid was worth less than 50,000 yuan.

Now, the dubbing has not been passed, and she feels very guilty and feels very sorry for the crew members who work together.

"It's okay, no need to apologize. You go back, you won't have to use it tomorrow. Fang Xing waved his hand and let her leave.

The dubbing work has to continue, and now I don't have time to chat with her, and since her dubbing is not good, she has to find another way.

"Huh?" An Xiaoran felt a little aggrieved.

Because Fang Xing's words are very similar to the words used to expel people.

"You won't be using it tomorrow."

It doesn't sound like a friendly word at all.

"I'm sorry, director, I really tried to get my lines across. I'm sorry, I'll practice when I go back, and I'll definitely practice well. An Xiaoran became more and more worried, and even a little worried in her heart, worried that the crew would take back 50,000 yuan.

Fang Xing saw through her careful thoughts, and couldn't help but smile: "Maybe the tone of my speech is inappropriate, I am not dissatisfied with you." The scene is finished, and if the dubbing doesn't work, your work is over, so you don't have to come back tomorrow. Nothing else. ”

"This ...... And what about dubbing? "An Xiaoran doesn't know much about the film and television industry.

In her subconscious, this role is played by her, and the voice should naturally be hers.

"I have other arrangements."

Fang Xing replied casually, then turned to the assistant director and said, "Contact the voice actor and find a voice that is slightly similar to Song Li." ”

"Okay, I'll get in touch." The assistant director agreed, and went out to make arrangements.

When An Xiaoran heard this, she immediately understood.

It's not that she doesn't know that there is such a thing as a voice actor, but she was a little nervous just now, and her mind didn't turn a corner all of a sudden.

After thinking about it, she sighed and asked, "Director, is my voice acting really bad?" ”

Fang Xing replied: "In layman's terms, it is not good to talk about it. This is normal, in the acting course, it was originally the lines. For those who have not specifically practiced, it is not surprising that the dubbing is poor.

"You don't have to worry, it's just a voice actor, little thing, you go back to class, you don't have to work hard to run this way."

An Xiaoran nodded and apologized: "Director, I didn't mean to say something bad......"

She paused, and then asked, "Director, if you can't speak your lines well, can't you be an actor?" ”

"Not really. However, lines are one of the basic skills of an actor, and not being able to speak lines well is indeed an obstacle to an actor's career. Fang Xing thought about it and replied.

An Xiaoran nodded again and asked, "Director, do you think I can be an actor?" ”

She's lost right now.

She studied at Normal University, and after graduation, her corresponding career belonged to the education industry.

However, after acting in a TV series, she is actually more interested in actors.

Not to mention anything else, the salary alone makes people unable not to be interested.

Fang Xing shook his head and smiled, and said, "This depends on your own ideas, if you want to be an actor, try it." How do you know if you can't do it if you don't try?

"But being an actor isn't as simple as you think.

"When you were on the set, did you see those group performances?

"In this industry, group performances are the norm, and there are actually a few people who can mix.

"Of course, after the launch of "Dark Glory", your starting point will be higher than that of ordinary people, but you are not learning acting, and if you want to continue in this industry, you will definitely have to suffer a lot in the future.

"So, you figure out for yourself what you want to do in the future.

"In any industry, it is not easy to be at the top, and actors are no exception."

An Xiaoran nodded and thanked him: "Thank you, director, I will seriously consider it when I go back." ”

Strictly speaking, the reason why she was able to participate in "Dark Glory" was to play the female lead in middle school.

is not because of how good her acting skills are, but more because of luck, because Fang Xing thinks she is suitable.

Of course, she is indeed very smart, and the scenes and shots she shoots are all passable.

However, the lines are different, and it is not enough to just read a few lines.

……

The assistant director was very efficient, and he sent a few audios on WeChat in the afternoon.

"Director, listen to these dubbings, the first one is He Zijing's, her agent heard that it was the dubbing of "Dark Glory", so he immediately asked He Zijing to record a paragraph and send it over. The second is ......"

Fang Xing clicked on the audio one by one and listened to the dubbing of these voice actors.

Because the audio sent is compressed, the sound quality is not very good.

It doesn't matter, though.

These audios are mainly used to understand the voice characteristics of the voice actor and see if it fits the role.

After listening to it twice, Fang Xing returned to the past news: "This He Zijing is good, the voice is still a bit like Song Li, can you find an audition?" ”

The assistant director asked, "Yes, when?" ”

Fang Xing: "The sooner the better." ”

Assistant director: "He Zijing replied that there was a work that ended at 4 o'clock in the afternoon today, and I could arrive at the company in half an hour, and asked if the time was appropriate." ”

Fang Xing: "Yes, then come over at half past four in the afternoon to audition." ”

After the audition time was determined, Fang Xing continued to return to the recording studio and continued to match the lines of other characters.

……

It is Song Li who is dubbing.

She has a lot of scenes, and she has to match for many days.

And there are too many dubbing in one day, the voice is not in good condition, and the dubbing effect is not good.

So, she came every day, played a few scenes, and then rested.

"I can't see it, you have quite high requirements for details."

When Song Li first started, she wanted to ask for the script of "Dark Glory" and shoot it by herself, because she had high quality requirements and was worried that Fang Xing would not meet her standards.

However, after working together for a few months, she found that although Fang Xing's TV series was prolific, it was not perfunctory at all, and the requirements for details were quite high.

An Xiaoran played her character in middle school, and when she heard that An Xiaoran's dubbing was not good, she came to see it a few times in person.

Actually, according to her opinion, An Xiaoran's dubbing is not so bad.

If you don't have high requirements for details, you can also use it for later repairs.

However, after listening to the clip of An Xiaoran's dubbing, Fang Xing still decided to find a voice actor.

"If you have the ability to do well, of course you have to do your best." Fang Xing replied casually.

"He Zijing is very powerful, her dubbing should be fine." Song Li turned to talk about the voice actor who was going to come over for an audition later.

Although the voice actor is called an actor, it is actually invisible to the audience.

This makes it so that even if the voice actor is the top in the industry, it will rarely be known by the audience.

However, the top voice actors are well-known in the industry.

Song Li had also cooperated with He Zijing before, so they knew each other.

Fang Xing has never cooperated.

In the five dramas filmed before, most of the characters were dubbed by the actors' original voices.

After all, in the dramas filmed before, the leading actors were either film school teachers or veteran actors of the National Theater.

The line skills of drama actors are much stronger than those of ordinary actors, so naturally there are fewer opportunities to use voice actors.

Occasionally, voice actors are needed, and they are not the main actors, and there is no need to hire top voice actors, after all, the cost of dubbing is also included in the cost.

……

4:35 p.m.

He Zijing was accompanied by her agent and followed the front desk to the recording studio.

"Director Fang is good, I have admired the name for a long time, and I finally met the real person, I am He Zijing." He Zijing shook hands very respectfully, smiled and greeted people, and her voice could feel a silky sense of smoothness.

He Zijing looks like she is in her thirties, her makeup is relatively light, and her appearance is not as gorgeous as that of female stars, but she is also good-looking.

"Hello, hello, I'm going to come over for an audition after work, it's hard work." Fang Xing was also very polite.

"It's not hard, can you start now?" He Zijing is not polite and wants to show his ability as soon as possible.

After all, in front of her is the Flying Eagle Emperor, and the director of five blockbuster TV series.

This new drama is a cooperation with Song Li.

This is obviously going to win the prize.

Maybe if you're lucky, you can get a dubbing award nomination, and that's really a rush to the pinnacle of life.

Therefore, as soon as He Zijing heard that it was the dubbing of "Dark Glory", he had to rush over when he said anything.

"What do I need to prepare?" Fang Xing asked.

Every voice actor has to prepare before dubbing, and their habits are different.

"Play the clip you want to audition for a few minutes." He Zijing replied.

"Okay, let's get started." Fang Xing invited her into the recording studio, asked the assistant director to play the clips that needed to be dubbed, and then handed her the script book.

He Zijing watched the film carefully, then recited the lines silently for a while, then looked up and said, "It's okay." ”

Fang Xing did not ask for dubbing, and planned to let her dub according to her own ideas and see the effect.

The movie clip starts playing back.

He Zijing held the line book in her hand, pointed to the microphone, and began to dub.

"You write on your personal homepage that you want to be a 'good wife and mother', are you serious?"

"From today onwards, my dream is you, and we must meet again."

Fang Xing stood outside the glass wall, put on headphones, heard these lines in his ears, and looked at He Zijing with his eyes, feeling a sense of separation.

Because, He Zijing looks like she is in her thirties, but the voice coming out of her mouth is like a little girl.

This sense of misalignment between sound and shape is very obvious.

After finishing this paragraph, He Zijing smiled into the microphone and asked, "Director Fang, is it okay?" ”

Fang Xing put up the microphone and talked to her: "I hope that the voice will have a little bit of Teacher Song Li's timbre characteristics, and it is best for the audience to hear the voice, so that they can know that the heroines of two different time periods are the same person." ”

He Zijing's dubbing just now is completely the voice of a middle school student.

Actually, it's no problem to match it directly according to this voice.

However, Fang Xing hoped to be more perfect, so he put forward this higher requirement.

He Zijing thought about it seriously.

Of course, she is familiar with Song Li's voice, and when she entered the industry in her early years, she also imitated Song Li's voice.

However, it is more difficult to match the voice of middle school students and to be like Song Li.

He Zijing looked up at Song Li next to Fang Xing, and then raised his hand and made an OK gesture: "I'll try it." ”

Imitating voices is not so difficult for those who know how to imitate sounds.

As long as you find the vocal qualities of the mimicry object, and bring this quality with you in the dubbing, you can create a sense of similarity.

He Zijing rematched it again, bringing Song Li's voice characteristics.

After Fang Xing listened, there was a look of surprise in his eyes.

"Great, when can I record?" Fang Xing made a decision directly.

Song Li stood aside and watched, holding another pair of headphones in her hand and listening to her ear.

She also found it very interesting, this voice is like a middle school version of herself.

Of course, in fact, her voice in middle school was not like this.

Her voice has changed a lot after being trained in lines after becoming an actress.

Therefore, He Zijing imitates her current timbre, not her middle school timbre.

But it doesn't matter, if the audience can hear two sound images, it is a success.

After getting the dubbing, the post-production of "Dark Glory" is also nearing completion.

However, there is still work to be done.

That's the submittal.

Because the story of "Dark Glory" is very sensitive, even the State Administration of Radio and Television has interviewed it, hoping that Fang Xing will not shoot it.

Therefore, it is difficult to say whether it can pass the trial.

However, this time in "Dark Glory", Song Li's Lijing Culture has an investment.

Song Li has a great influence in the TV drama industry, and she can give a lot of help in terms of auditing.

At the same time as the series was submitted for review, the preliminary warm-up also officially began.

Major TV stations and major video websites rushed to discuss cooperation when they heard the news.

Even before the finished film came out, there were already video websites offering high prices to get exclusive broadcast rights.

After all, it is a drama cooperated by Fang Xing and Song Li, which gives the video website great confidence, even if it has not seen the finished film, it dares to buy out the exclusive broadcast rights at a high price.
