This star’s style is wrong

The post-production of "Dark Glory" went smoothly.

However, I ran into a little trouble when dubbing.

Most of the actors in the play are good at acting, and the dubbing went smoothly, but An Xiaoran's dubbing didn't work after many attempts.

For actors, lines are one of the basic skills.

Most capable actors will use original voices for dubbing, unless there is something wrong with their own voices.

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

For example, if you have a drake voice, or the voice is too high-pitched and does not suit the character, then you need to hire a voice actor.

The profession of voice actor has developed very maturely.

Moreover, there are some great voice actors who imitate the voices of celebrities and you can’t even tell the difference.

Some netizens even use the word "monster" to describe a great voice in the dubbing industry.

Of course, imitating celebrity voices is just a way to show off your voice.

When you really want to dub for a film or television drama, you don't have to imitate someone's voice, but you have to create a voice that suits the character.

Ark Culture has a dedicated dubbing studio.

An Xiaoran came for three days in a row. Fang Xing listened to three versions of dubbing and was not satisfied with either one.

Although her role is not that many in the whole drama, she plays Song Li who was in middle school and is the heroine. If the dubbing is not good, the audience will easily be disappointed.

"I'm sorry, director, I'm sorry, I..." An Xiaoran looked embarrassed and kept bowing and apologizing.

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

When An Xiaoran got the money, it felt like a dream.

Although she was often scolded by directors and acting teachers during filming, she really didn't find filming hard.

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

She always felt that the sweat she put in was not worth 50,000 yuan.

Now, she has been unable to pass the dubbing, and she feels very guilty and feels sorry for the crew members she worked with.

"It's okay, no need to apologize. You can go back. You don't have to come tomorrow." Fang Xing waved her hand and asked her to leave.

The dubbing work will continue, and I don’t have time to chat with her now. Since her dubbing is not good, I have to find another way.

"Huh?" An Xiaoran felt a little aggrieved.

Because Fang Xing's words were very similar to words used to expel someone.

"You don't have to come tomorrow."

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

"I'm sorry, director, I worked really hard on my lines. I'm sorry, I'll practice when I get back, and I'll practice it well." An Xiaoran became more and more worried, and even a little worried in her heart, worried that the crew would ask for 50,000 yuan back.

Fang Xing saw through her little thoughts and couldn't help but smile: "Maybe my tone of voice was inappropriate, but I'm not dissatisfied with you. The scene has been completed, and if you can't pass the dubbing, your work will be over, so there's no need to come over tomorrow." No other meaning."

"Well... what about dubbing?" An Xiaoran didn't know much about the film and television industry.

In her subconscious mind, she played this role, and the voice should naturally be hers.

"I have other plans."

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

"Okay, I'll contact you right away." The assistant director agreed and went out to make arrangements.

When An Xiaoran heard this, he immediately understood.

It wasn't that she didn't know there was such a thing as a voice actor, but she was a little nervous just now and couldn't wrap her head around it.

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

Fang Xing replied: "To put it in layman's terms, it's just that the dialogue is not good. This is normal. In acting courses, lines are originally a part of it. If you don't have people who have practiced it specifically, it's not strange that the dubbing is different.

"You don't have to worry. It's just a matter of finding a voice actor. It's a small matter. You can go back to class. You don't have to work hard to come here."

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

She paused and then asked: "Director, if you can't speak the lines well, does that mean you can't be an actor?"

"Not really. However, lines are one of the basic skills of an actor. Being unable 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 is confused now.

She studied at Normal University, and her chosen career after graduation was in the education industry.

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

Apart from anything else, the pay alone makes it hard not to be interested.

Fang Xing shook his head and smiled, and said: "It depends on your own thoughts. If you want to be an actor, just give it a try. How will you know if you can do it if you don't try?

“However, being an actor is not as easy as you think.

“Did you see those extras when you were on the set?

“In this industry, group performances are the norm, and there are actually only a few who can make it.

"Of course, after "Dark Glory" starts broadcasting, your starting point will be higher than the average person, but you are not studying acting. If you want to continue in this industry, you will definitely have to endure a lot of hardships in the future.

“So, you have to think clearly about what you want to do in the future.

"It's not easy to be at the top in any industry, and actors are no exception."

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

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

It wasn't because of how good her acting skills were, but more because of luck, because Fang Xing thought she was suitable.

Of course, she is indeed very smart, and the scenes and shots she filmed were all up to standard.

However, lines are different. You can’t just recite a few lines casually.

…

The assistant director was very efficient and sent a few audio messages via WeChat in the afternoon.

"Director, listen to these dubbings. The first one is from He Zijing. Her agent heard that it was the dubbing for "Dark Glory" and immediately asked He Zijing to record and send it over. The second one is..."

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

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

However, this is not important.

These audios are mainly used to understand the voice characteristics of the dubbing actors to see if they fit the role.

After listening to it twice, Fang Xing sent back the message: "This He Zijing is pretty good, and her voice is a bit like Song Li's. Can you get her to audition?"

The assistant director asked: "Okay, when?"

Fang Xing: "The faster, the better."

Assistant Director: "He Zijing sent a message back saying that he has a job that ends at 4pm today and he can be at the company in half an hour. I asked if the time is suitable."

Fang Xing: "Okay, then come over for a sound check at 4:30 pm."

After confirming the audition time, Fang Xing went back to the recording studio and continued to dub lines for other characters.

…

Song Li is dubbing.

She has a lot of roles and needs to be matched for many days.

Moreover, there are too many dubbings in one day, and the condition of the voice is not good, and the dubbing effect is not good either.

So, she comes every day, does a few scenes, and then rests.

"I can't tell, you are quite demanding about details."

When Song Li first started, she wanted to pass on the script of "Dark Glory" and form her own crew to film it. This was because she had high quality requirements and was worried that Fang Xing would not meet her standards.

However, after working together for several months, she discovered that although Fang Xing was very productive in filming TV series, he was not perfunctory at all and had very high requirements for details.

An Xiaoran played her character in middle school. She heard that An Xiaoran's dubbing was not good, so she came to watch it several times in person.

In fact, according to her opinion, An Xiaoran's dubbing is not that bad.

If you don't have high requirements for details, you can still use it after repairing it later.

However, after listening to the clips of An Xiaoran's dubbing, Fang Xing decided to find a dubbing 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 good, her dubbing should be no problem." Song Li turned to talk about the dubbing actor who would come over for an audition later.

Although voice actors are called actors, they are actually invisible to the audience.

This means that even if the voice actors are top-notch in the industry, they are rarely recognized by the audience.

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

Song Li had worked with He Zijing before, so she knew him.

Fang Xing had never cooperated before.

In the five previous dramas, most of the characters were dubbed by actors.

After all, in the previous dramas, the leading actors were either film school teachers or veteran actors from the National Theater.

The dialogue 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, but they are not the main actors. 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 manager and followed the receptionist to the recording studio.

"Hello Director Fang, I have admired this famous name for a long time and finally met the real person. I am He Zijing." He Zijing shook hands very respectfully and greeted everyone with a smile. You could feel the silky feeling in her voice.

He Zijing looks to be in her thirties, with light makeup, and her appearance is not as gorgeous as that of female celebrities, but she is still good-looking.

"Hello, hello, I have to come over for a sound check after work. Thank you for your hard work." Fang Xing was also very polite.

"It's not hard, do you want to start now?" He Zijing was not polite and wanted to show her ability as soon as possible.

After all, the person in front of her was the Flying Eagle Vision Emperor, the director of five hit TV series.

This new drama is a collaboration with TV queen Song Li.

This is obviously aimed at winning awards.

Maybe if you're lucky, you'll be nominated for a dubbing award, and you'll be reaching the pinnacle of your life.

Therefore, when He Zijing heard that it was the voice of "Dark Glory", she rushed over no matter what.

"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 of the film you want to audition and watch it 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 dubbing, and then handed her the script book.

He Zijing watched the video carefully, then recited the lines silently for a while, raised her head and said, "That's it."

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

The video clip starts playing again.

He Zijing held the script book in her hand, faced the microphone, and started dubbing.

"The ideal you wrote on your personal homepage is to be a 'good wife and mother'. Are you serious?"

"From today on, my dream is you. We must meet again."

Fang Xing stood outside the glass wall and put on his headphones. Hearing these lines in his ears, his eyes looked at He Zijing and felt a sense of fragmentation.

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

This sense of mismatch between sound and appearance is very obvious.

After finishing this part, He Zijing smiled and asked into the microphone: "Director Fang, is that okay?"

Fang Xing raised the microphone and talked to her: "I hope that the voice I dub has a little bit of Teacher Song Li's timbre characteristics. It is best for the audience to hear the voice and know that the two heroines in different time periods are the same person. "

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

In fact, it’s no problem if you directly match this voice.

However, Fang Xing hoped to achieve more perfection, so he set this higher requirement.

He Zijing thought seriously.

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

However, it is very difficult to have the voice of a middle school student and to look like Song Li.

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

Imitating sounds is not that difficult for those who know how to do it.

As long as you find the voice characteristics of the person you are imitating, and use this quality when dubbing, you can create a sense of similarity.

He Zijing did the dubbing again, bringing in Song Li's voice characteristics.

After Fang Xing listened, his eyes showed surprise.

"Great, when can we record?" Fang Xing made the decision directly.

Song Li stood aside and watched, holding another pair of headphones in her hand and putting it to her ears.

She also found it interesting. The voice was like the middle school version of herself.

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

After becoming an actress, her voice changed a lot through line training.

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

But that’s not important. If the audience can hear the two voices, it’s a success.

After completing the dubbing, the post-production of "Dark Glory" is almost completed.

However, there is still work to be done later.

That is sent for trial.

Because the story subject of "Dark Glory" is very sensitive, the State Administration of Radio and Television even asked Fang Xing not to film it.

Therefore, it is hard to say whether it will pass the trial.

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

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

While the series is being submitted for review, pre-heating has also officially begun.

Major TV stations and major video websites came to discuss cooperation after hearing the news.

Even before the finished film is released, there are already video websites offering high prices for exclusive broadcast rights.

After all, it is a drama co-produced by Fang Xing and Song Li, which gives the video website great confidence. Even if they have not seen the finished film, they dare to pay a high price to buy out the exclusive broadcast rights.
