Chapter 032. The tangled protagonist
“It’s really a big deal.”
Cheng Kewei rubbed his temples and looked at the pile of information in front of him.
All auditions, including other characters, ended the day before yesterday. Today, the media studio sent a tape for audition for Seo Rui and the others to choose.
Audio director Tian Zihui also came to the headquarters of Fantasy Electric Animation and selected it with Seo Rui.
In terms of sound, the audio director is obviously the most professional, but Tian Zihui is more willing to serve as an assistant to help the director choose. There is a saying in the field of dubbing, that is, "The best sound is not necessarily the most suitable sound", which refers to the targetedness of the voice actors.
For example, a high school girl should naturally be a cheerful and sunny girl voice, but what if she bears a heavy fate, or has suffered some trauma in the story, or she will grow up and become more mature in the future, these are all global issues that audio directors cannot consider.
Not to mention there are also indicators such as related households that the investors of the production committee need to arrange, and some special care recipients. Fortunately, "Soul Devour: Zero" is not favored by investors, so they are too lazy to interfere, so the dubbing choice is much simpler.
"First of all, the biggest voice actor this time, Miss Lin Xuenai. Although her voice is full of tension, it is obviously not suitable for Li Leshen. After all, she is just a child and should not have such a strong aura."
Xu Rui said that Lin Xuenai is a professional voice actor and sings very well. She once held a solo concert at the National Stadium. Originally, Xu Rui thought this would be a very arrogant person, but she didn't expect Lin Xuenai to be unexpectedly friendly, but unfortunately she couldn't cooperate with her this time.
"That's right, Miss Lin Xuenai's schedule may not be arranged. I remember she has three important roles to match in the next animation."
Tian Zihui removed Lin Xuenai's name in the form of the laptop.
"I think these three are more appropriate, what do you think of the director?"
"Shi Chen'an, Luo Ke'er, Feng Nana?"
Xu Rui picked up three resumes.
It can be seen that Shi Chen'an is a veteran with two leading roles and is good at cute and sweet characters. The popular work "Love Sweetheart" is a girl-like work, which establishes her image as the leading role of the girl-like character.
Luo Keer is a newcomer. She only has a passerby role in a few animations before. Her voice is relatively awkward, her acting skills are slightly flawed, but her texture is very good. It can be said that God gave her a good voice.
Feng Nana is a singer and voice actor who has released two albums. She has good singing skills, her voice is full but she is still energetic. She also has a good image and can participate in various activities.
Xu Rui did not rush to make a decision, but asked Tian Zihui to play the voices of the three of them.
After listening with his eyes closed, Xu Rui still didn't make a decision.
The voices of the three people have their own characteristics. If you really want to say it, Xu Rui still tends to use Feng Nana's voice, because among these three people, Feng Nana is the most famous and can use her own popularity to drive the spread of her works.
"Hey, I remember there seemed to be a girl who had a pretty good voice at that time."
At this time, Li Ruoxuan, who was sitting aside, suddenly spoke.
"It's the one who's uh, the one who's behind, the one who's a little low."
She racked her brains to describe it. Finally, Li Ruoxuan remembered a scene on the subway and looked at Xu Rui and said.
"It's the girl who practices on the subway."
The small twig of hair on her head also stood up, as if she had answered the question correctly.
"Is she..."
Xu Rui also remembered the girl's voice at this time. He remembered that it seemed to feel it, so he didn't take it to heart.
He flipped his resume and relied on his memory to find the resume of this girl named Su Liyu. After reading it, he found that the other party was only two years older than him, and the dubbing resume was almost all passers-by. Only one with a name appeared in the unit drama for five minutes.
"Sueren Music, this is a record company."
Unlike other voice actors who come from dubbing studios, she comes from a record company, which makes Seo Rui even more surprised.
"Let's listen to her audition first."
Tian Zihui quickly recalled Su Liyu's recording and played it out.
The conference room was very quiet, only Su Liyu's voice echoed. Her voice was filled with a hint of confusion in her sadness, like a lost child. Su Liyu's voice was a bit special, and it was even more depressed than other auditioners. Although it was somewhat contrary to junior high school students, it was very suitable to show a precocious girl like Li Leshen who had a heavy family mission.
After the playback, the conference room was silent.
After a long time, Xu Rui spoke and said strangely.
"Why didn't I think I had any impression at that time? Is this recording the previous synchronous recording?"
"Yes, Director Xu."
Tian Zihui smiled and explained.
"Because you hear similar sounds repeating the same words for a long time, if you are not a person who is very proficient in this aspect, you will soon fall into a state of numbness, thus ignoring the details in the sound, which is why you need to record and repeat screening."
After a pause, Tian Zihui continued.
"I was also impressed by Su Liyu's voice. She spoke as a singer. She mastered the pronunciation skills and the dubbing profession are different, so it sounds unique in texture. I thought her voice was a bit too low before, so it was not included in the screening list. Director Xu, what do you think?"
"I think it's quite appropriate. Although Li Leshen was innocent at the beginning, she always knew the secrets of the family and knew that she wanted to become the person who guarded this land, so she should naturally be more precocious than her peers. At the same time, after getting to know Huangfu Xun, she also needed to show her side as a girl. Only after Xun's rebellion did she truly mature."
Xu Rui looked at Tian Zihui and said.
"We need such a voice that runs through the whole play and has a sense of change. Now it seems that Su Liyu is the most suitable one."
"That's what it's decided."
Tian Zihui added notes to the table and flipped down.
"Next, let's discuss Huangfu Xun's dubbing..."
The discussion continued, and it was not until 8 o'clock in the evening that the dubbing of all important characters was confirmed. Outside the conference room, several old original artists had already gone home to have dinner with their families. Only Tao Ran was still eating takeaway and watching animations, while Yi Qianqian was wearing headphones and flexibly moved the brush on the tablet.
Li Ruoxuan took a special look. Yi Qianqian was indeed drawing, and for some reason she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you for your hard work today, it's all this. Why don't I treat you and let's go out for a meal."
Xu Rui said, he didn't expect that Yi Qianqian would wait for him to reach this time and feel a little sad.
"Sister Qianqian, Tao Ran, are you going?"
After asking casually, Xu Rui shook his head when he saw Tao Ran, while Yi Qianqian took off her headphones neatly, packed up the desktop, picked up her small bag and followed behind Xu Rui.
“Where are you going?”
Xu Rui thought of several places, and if he didn't have the process, he could speak first.
