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

However, I ran into a little trouble during 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 talented actors will dub with their original voices, unless they have problems 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 very good 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 dub 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 the dubbing and was not satisfied with either one.

Although her role is not that big 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 when 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.

"Ah?" An Xiaoran felt a little aggrieved.

Because Fang Xing's words are 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. I'll practice 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 the tone of my words was inappropriate, but I'm not dissatisfied with you. The scene has been completed. If you can't pass the dubbing, your work is over, so there is 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, this role was played by her, 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 lines are not good. This is normal. In acting courses, lines are originally a part of it. If you don't have people who have specially practiced it, the dubbing will be weird.

"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 very 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 only a few can succeed.

"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 lead 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 par.

However, the 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, please 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 and listened 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 the audition time was determined, 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 up 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 have quite high requirements for details."

When Song Li first started, she wanted to pass on the script for "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 voice acting, Fang Xing decided to find a voice actor.

"If you have the ability to do well, of course you must 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.
