The Creator of the Second Dimension

In June, Ningjiang University's animation major's graduation design presentation was once again posted on the Tomato Video Network. Thanks to last year's grand occasion, this year's works have also seen a lot more hits.

It’s just that the audience who were waiting to see such an excellent personal animation as "Voice of the Stars" were disappointed. This time, the graduation project was mediocre, and there was no such high-quality painting content as Zhang Ran's basketball. People can't help feeling that Ningjiang University The Academy of Animation is gone.

Xu Rui naturally also 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 first by Tomato Video Network, but Xu Rui always wanted to know.

After looking around, there were indeed no newcomers worth paying attention to, so he closed the webpage.

"Boss, it's time for us to audition."

Cheng Ke said, with a briefcase in his hand, ready to go out.

"OK."

Xu Rui tidied up, stood up, and followed Cheng Ke downstairs.

They drove to the building of the media workshop, walked into the lobby on the first floor, and saw the sound audition and recording notice boards of several animations.

Director Wu Yi's "Wolf and Cat" is the second audition for female characters today. Mogu Yinghua's "Radio Girl Can't Laugh" is dubbed on the fourth floor, while "Magic Girl Madoka" is dubbed 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 "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" are women, so this audition is also all female voice actors.

"Hello Director Xu!" "Hello Director." "Morning Director."

It was another scene of familiar people saluting Xu Rui, but this time Xu Rui saw familiar people inside.

"Director Xu!"

Su Liyu was wearing a suspender T-shirt that exposed her collarbone and shoulders, cropped pants that exposed her fair calf and ankles, and white lace-up sandals. She looked youthful and lively.

"Ah, Li Yu, good morning."

Xu Rui responded. He didn't have time to chat, so he entered the recording studio first.

The sound director Tian Zihui was the same as before. She greeted her and started the sound audition according to the procedure.

Regarding the role of Lu Muyuan, Xu Rui actually knows it well. Su Liyu's voice is childish with a hint of transparency, which is very suitable for such an innocent character, but with complicated emotions brewing in the later stage. He had asked Su Liyu to audition before. , basically satisfied, the audition list for the role of Lu Muyuan this time is not much, if nothing else, Su Liyu will once again act as the heroine of the fantasy animation.

It's not Xu Rui's official decision, but it's really difficult to find someone who fits this setting and has acting skills.

Su Liyu, who auditioned for "Unnatural Death", came to try it, but her voice was obviously not suitable for the protagonist, so she didn't participate. During this period, she participated in two animations and performed quite well.

Xu Rui's focus this time is on other roles.

Bearing the fate of reincarnation on his body, Xiao Yan needs an experienced dubbing actor who has a high command of voice to speak out, and the other roles are not something that fledgling rookies can handle, so most of the dubbing actors who came this time are Have several years of experience.

In the audition room, a woman in her mid-twenties was holding a script.

"Lu Muyuan, if you cherish your future, don't try to be a different version of yourself."

This is what Xiao Yan said to Lu Muyuan in the first episode. It sounds nothing special at first glance, but in fact, after watching it later, you can find that this sentence has a deep meaning.

This requires the proficient emotional expression of the voice actor, and if it is not handled properly, it will lead to wrong emotions.

"This one seems pretty good."

Xu Rui nodded slightly. The voice actor in the audition room was called Zhai Xinyi. She had debuted as a voice actor for five years and had played dozens of roles, big and small. , her emotions are well controlled, almost making Xu Rui think that the real Xiao Yan is talking.

"Then I will write it down first."

Tian Zihui tapped the keyboard to register on the form.

After a while, another voice actor with a slightly hoarse voice auditioned. The character she auditioned for was Lan Xing, a girl who looked unruly and arrogant, but was actually slender and soft.

"This is okay, what do you think, Sister Tian?"

Xu Rui looked at the information, the voice actor is Ye Jiafeng, who has debuted for seven years and is already 30 years old, but his voice still maintains the quality of a girl.

"Well, I feel good too."

The audition lasted all afternoon, and it was not announced until the evening that Su Liyu walked into the audition room.

"It's finally over."

she said, and then asked with some trepidation.

"How about it, is there someone more suitable?"

Xu Rui has already told Su Liyu about it before, so she is still a little worried now, because most of the people who came to audition are experienced voice actors, and Su Liyu doesn't know if she will be replaced .

"Not yet, you are still Lu Muyuan."

Xu Rui smiled. Although there are capable voice actors who came to audition for the protagonist, the timbre still can't meet Xu Rui's requirements. According to the current situation, this kind of innocent girl character with the setting of fate at the same time, Su Liyu was indeed the most suitable candidate Xu Rui could find.

"That's good. I've specially set aside the next schedule. If Director Xu doesn't want me, then I won't have anything to eat."

Su Liyu teased, and secretly relieved, she asked again.

"By the way, I shouldn't have to be on stage at the Ningjiang Comic Exhibition in the future. Can I go shopping with you?"

"sure."

Xu Rui nodded, only to realize that it was already June.

The dubbing was finalized a week later, and the production team quickly carried out 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 distributed them episode by episode according to the progress of the plot. Among them, only Zhai Xinyi, who acted as the voice of Xiao Yan, got all the scripts. Xu Rui also warned that the content of the script is top-secret, and the entire project is being carried out in secret. The outside world can't find any information except for the official publicity and Xu Rui's presence and appearance photographed by some people in media workshops and other places. Information about Madoka Magica.

June is coming to an end soon, and the sweltering summer unique to Ningjiang is coming. At the same time, the annual animation industry conference and Ningjiang comic exhibition are coming. Xu Rui also got a suitable suit while feeling the passage of time.

Different from the previous pure visit to make soy sauce, this time, Xu Rui's own work was nominated, so it was naturally more formal.

This year's Ningjiang Animation Industry Conference started like this.
