At the request of the National United Television Station, the task of re-shooting "Dream of Red Mansions", one of the four famous novels, was handed over to the directors Ma Yuhuai and Miao Hanlin three years ago. Then they found that the animation could not be left behind, so they invited several animation circles last year. Influential directors Chen Yuchao, Tan Haiyao, and Tang Xin cooperated with each other, and the task required that the filming of the TV station must be completed in the middle of next year and broadcast on time during the summer vacation.
According to the normal filming time of TV series, one year is enough to shoot a well-produced TV series. In fact, there is not much time for cartoons. Huaxia allows serialization of TV series and animations, but this is only the regulation of local TV stations. On United TV, no matter what type of director you are or how famous you are, you have to follow the regulations and broadcast it after you finish filming, and the content must be healthy and positive.
As one of the four famous novels, "Dream of Red Mansions" must be healthy, positive, and educational. When the United Television was recruiting directors, it also caused major directors from all walks of life to compete with each other. Conspiracies and tricks, even the position of assistant director has caused many directors to scramble. Whoever doesn't want to be famous in history, who doesn't want to be on the National United Television, that is the guarantee of fame. In the end, Ma Yuhuai and Miao Hanlin stood out and became the main directors of "Dream of Red Mansions". Together with several assistant directors, they successfully formed the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions".
It took three hours to audition the actors of "Dream of Red Mansions", but it was only an audition, and the list of actors for filming was not finalized.
One month of ancient etiquette training is required before the shooting. Whether it is an actor or an actress, their tone of voice, their eyes on people and things, their demeanor and behavior in various situations, even eating and sleeping. Under the supervision of the directors, many actors who do not meet the director's requirements will be eliminated every week during the training camp. The list of actors for "Dream of Red Mansions" is finally finalized in the fourth week. It is not ruled out that problems may arise during the filming process. Spare actors many.
Some people adapt well to such a strict campaign, while others give up early. Those who stay are the elite among the elite. It's a pity that some actors' appearance and acting skills meet the requirements of the characters in "Dream of Red Mansions", but the voice is a bit ugly , Wang Xifeng in the original book is beautiful, luxurious, and handsome, with a cunning demeanor and sharp teeth. It is also very good to find a suitable actor, but her voice is too delicate, and her performance is absolutely perfect. But when the voice comes out There is no aura. Or Miaoyu with a quirky spirit and a sweet voice, but the actor who fits her personality is a girl with a sweet face and a low voice, who can make everyone kneel as soon as she opens her mouth, really kneeling.
Actors like this cannot highlight the essence of the original work at all, and need to hire voice actors, and there is still an urgent need!
Ma Yuhuai is a serious and unsmiling man in his thirties. Other directors have the characteristics of potbellied, thinning hair, or unattractive appearance, and loves to wear vests on set. But he is not, he is a man with serious cleanliness, he can wear suits and shoes at the scene, just like meeting with the board of directors in the office, even in the hottest summer, he can wear shirts, others are hot dogs, but he is just calm Wipe sweat with a handkerchief.
Miao Hanlin is older, a gentle middle-aged man, he always smiles when he sees everyone, of course, you can't be completely confused by his smile, when he scolds people, he doesn't treat people like people.
With such a unique crew, the actors naturally live in dire straits every day. When the director is in a good mood, they are comfortable and have soup for dinner. He could only silently be scolded bloody.
Sitting in the temporary office of "Dream of Red Mansions", the five directors enjoyed a rare moment of morning tea time. However, Ma Yuhuai was not in a good mood. He didn't understand why the higher-ups suddenly stuffed him at this time. He was short of voice actors. Wrong, at the beginning the TV station also said that it would not interfere with his selection of roles, why did they suddenly stuff him with people, and if the conditions were not up to standard, he would still kick them out.
"Yan Mulin is a newcomer, right? The director is really brave." Ma Yuhuai stared at the resume submitted by his assistant yesterday, and seeing that he was the voice actor of Pan Jinlian in "Pan Jinlian", he couldn't help but look at Zhengyouyouyouzai Chen Yuchao, who was eating fried dough sticks, "Old Chen, you ask him to be the heroine... for the dubbing?"
Chen Yuchao raised his eyebrows: "Yes, he is a newcomer I discovered, but I didn't recommend him, I want to recommend him to you, I haven't talked to you yet, and I'll just give him someone to you. It doesn't have that much power. But, to be honest, that kid is really good, and you'll know when you see him."
Ma Yuhuai still had a cold face: "Said so many good things to him, how many boxes of wild honey have I given you."
Chen Yuchao rolled his eyes at him: "I would like to say that the young man is really good. However, I didn't expect that there was someone behind him, and Yan Ziqiong didn't have that much power. It seems that gossip is really unreliable."
Tan Haiyao from the animation team asked Chen Yuchao: "What does Yan Ziqiong have to do with Yan Mulin?"
Chen Yuchao, who instantly turned into a gossip super boy, said: "As people in the entertainment industry, you don't watch the latest gossip."
Everyone rolled their eyes at him, and Miao Hanlin from the TV series smiled and said, "Whoever has your spare time, please tell me what's going on."
When Chen Yuchao was about to put on an expression that said you begged me, Ma Yuhuai had already checked on the search engine by himself. After entering Yan Mulin's name, there were quite a lot of entries. The latest one was Yan Mulin After being taken care of by a certain actress, the first person Crown Prince Shao Nuoyu paid attention to was actually Yan Mulin, and then came ventriloquist and beautiful men.
Ma Yuhuai said: "There is only one scandal. I have worked with Yan Ziqiong. How can she keep a man? It's ridiculous."
Miao Hanlin leaned over to look at Ma Yuhuai's phone, and said, "Let me take a look."
Ma Yuhuai gave him the mobile phone, and the others came forward and left Chen Yuchao aside. Poor Chen Yuchao patted his chest and didn't care about it like you guys. He has a lot of things to reveal about Yan Mulin, since you don't want to hear it , then I won’t talk about it, hum.
Everyone didn't believe it, but they guessed that Yan Mulin and Yan Ziqiong were relatives. Both of them believed in Yan. The possibility was too high. What's more, Yan Ziqiong basically would not bring new people to the company. She is a tall and cold woman, and she is still a goddess in the eyes of many men, even when she is older, after all, she has played many classic roles. Ma Yuhuai can be regarded as one of them. He also grew up watching Michelle Yan's TV series and movies, that's all.
Everyone knows that Ma Yuhuai is the youngest among them, but his achievements are higher than theirs. Miao Hanlin returned to the main topic: "This Yan Mulin will come over later, everyone go and see."
Tang Xin patted his bald head and said, "Okay! I believe the person Lao Chen likes is not bad. I still have a deep impression on Pan Jinlian's voice."
Tan Haiyao had a feeling: "It's really good. When you watch it, you can't imagine that a male voice actor can reach that level."
Miao Hanlin said: "You say it so much that I wish I could see him in person right now."
In fact, in the world of dubbing, there are female voices dubbing male characters, and in the world of actors, there are also male and female actors who perform reverse roles. From their point of view, Yan Mulin is a man, which is not out of the ordinary, even in the world of dubbing, starting from a newcomer, he directly dubs the heroine. Yes, he is still the only one, and he is really more and more curious.
After returning the phone to his hand, Ma Yulin said: "Why is there no frontal photo of him on the Internet until now."
Everyone looked at gossip king Chen Yuchao, who shook his head: "I don't know, don't ask me." He also felt strange, even the rumored photo was only a profile photo of Yan Mulin.
Of course, they would not know that just after they read the scandal just now, all the rumors about Yan Mulin and Yan Ziqiong disappeared from the Internet within a second, whether it was the webpage or Weibo. , can't even search for keywords.
At the same time, Yan Mulin, who was going to the temporary office of the "Dream of Red Mansions" crew, was completely unaware that five directors were waiting for him, and that the online scandal suddenly disappeared without a trace.
He slept too late last night, and had several dreams intermittently, although it can't be seen that he is not in good spirits.
Aya also knew that his words were significantly less than last night, and he had only been in contact with Yan Mulin for a day, so he didn't know Yan Mulin well. When he was with Zhou Wenjing, he also worked as an assistant for two celebrities. Later, it was because he was Zhou Wenjing's person. After the celebrities had a certain ability, they were more willing to ask relatives to be their assistants. Aya didn't complain about this. Externally, he had Put the label of "Zhou Wenjing's person".
I have come into contact with some celebrities and know their tempers. Just one look and one movement can tell whether they are in a good mood or a bad mood, or if they are showing fatigue. However, he did not see it in Yan Mulin, even yesterday After the scandal came out, he didn't see the restless and nervous expression on Yan Mulin's face, so he accepted it very calmly.
Zhou Wenjing asked Yan Mulin: "Today I met Tan Haiyao, the director of the animation team, and Miao Hanlin, the director of the TV series. Ma Yuhuai himself doesn't like actors who go through the back door. He may not appear. You happen to go through the back door. When the time comes Be smart, understand?"
Yan Mulin nodded: "Aunt Zhou, I understand."
Zhou Wenjing smiled gratifiedly and said, "You are a smart kid."
At this age, it is not easy to be flattered or humiliated. Yan Mulin makes her feel distressed. Sometimes she wants to blame Yan Ziqiong and herself. It is really the fault of adults like them to let such a child go. Yan Mulin and Yan Ziqiong are not close, she is also partly responsible.
There were not many conversations in the car. Zhou Wenjing mentioned several key points of "Dream of Red Mansions" to Yan Mulin. Yan Mulin nodded and said that he had already understood it. After reading the last forty chapters, it is different from what he has seen in his previous life. The endings of many characters have changed drastically, but the tone is not so sad. It really reflects the social environment under the politics of that era, but in general Not so bleak.
After arriving at the destination, a well-preserved large garden stood in front of Yan Mulin's eyes, which was exactly the same as the Rongguo Mansion in the original "Dream of Red Mansions".
Yan Mulin, who was led to the location of the temporary office, admired the wonderful scenery in the surrounding mansion, and lamented that the production crew is so rich, how much it would cost to rent this kind of garden, if he was an actor, he would be very happy to stay here for a few days Years, although tiring, can at least cultivate people's temperament.
Walking into the meeting room with the director, Yan Mulin was still nervous, but he didn't show it on the surface.
It is winter now, and the houses are covered with curtains, so Yan Mulin and Zhou Wenjing saw Chen Yuchao lift the curtain and come out from the inside. A big man lifts the curtain like a woman, a little funny, Yan Mulin chuckled, and then With a serious face, he called out: "Director Chen."
Director Chen stepped forward and punched him on the shoulder: "Damn boy, you're looking for a beating, it's in vain that I said a lot of good things just now."
Yan Mulin thanked him first: "Thank you Director Chen for your cultivation, thank you Director Chen for your care, thank you Director Chen for raising your hand!"
Director Chen was amused by him: "Okay, I'll take you in, sister Jing sit outside and wait?" He naturally recognized Zhou Wenjing.
Zhou Wenjing smiled and said, "No problem, Mu Lin will trouble you."
Director Chen said: "You're welcome, I have a predestined relationship with this kid."
After a few words of politeness, Director Chen took Yan Mulin into another living room. The inside was warmer than the outside. Yan Mulin saw four directors who smiled at him or looked coldly at him, presumably the cold-faced man in a suit It is the legendary director Ma Yuhuai.
The directors all sat on the kang, which was so huge that it would not be a problem to sleep four or five people, let alone a few people.
Northerners like to sit on a kang, and "A Dream of Red Mansions" also slept on a kang. Yan Mulin is a southerner, he has never slept on a kang, and he seems very interesting.
Chen Yuchao sat back to his original seat, asked Tang Xin next to him to move his butt, and also made room for Yan Mulin, Yan Mulin thought, is this really good
Just sitting on the kang for an interview, is he the only one
After sitting on it, Yan Mulin found that he was facing the director who suddenly lowered the temperature a few degrees. It must be Ma Yuhuai with a cold face. He sat up straight and smiled.
Here, Yan Mulin only knows Chen Yuchao, and everyone else is looking at him curiously.
Chen Yuchao introduced several directors to him, and Yan Mulin greeted them one by one, and everyone chatted casually. There were no difficult interview questions like in the crew of "Inner Ghost", but it seemed to be more difficult than that. He faced It is not the title, but a group of directors.
Everyone chatted and asked about Yan Mulin's current situation, and Yan Mulin answered them one by one without any falsehood.
Tang Xin decided to go to the restroom when the questioning and drinking were almost done. Chen Yuchao followed, and Miao Hanlin couldn't hold back and went too. Who told them to drink porridge in the morning, as long as there is no problem with their kidney function? , have to go there.
So out of the five directors, only Ma Yuhuai was left, and Yan Mulin looked at each other, he was not very good at chatting with cold-faced people.
There is no need for Yan Mulin to take the initiative to speak, Ma Yuhuai has already spoken, I do not know where he pulled out the script, and handed it to Yan Mulin: "They all have a very good impression of you, but I am a traditional person, I still hope to read It depends on your ability." In fact, he didn't want to take care of the animation team's affairs, but hearing that other people praised him so much, Ma Yuhuai still wanted to try Yan Mulin.
Of course, this is as it should be.
Yan Mulin breathed a sigh of relief, feeling uncertain about being hung up and down, he also knew that he was squeezed in, and also felt that it might be Shao Nuoyu who helped, and was silently moved in his heart.
Opening the script book, Yan Mulin found that the above lines were surprisingly similar to the TV series he had watched in his previous life, almost exactly the same, because he had read the original book several times, watched the TV series several times, and was extremely sensitive to the lines, so naturally they were similar Remember all.
I was shocked in my heart, even if history has changed, some things are still amazing.
Ma Yuhuai found that Yan Mulin was staring at the lines without moving, so he asked him: "Is there something wrong?"
Yan Mulin shook his head: "No, Director Ma."
Ma Yuhuai said, "You can call me Brother Huai just like them."
Yan Mulin complained in his heart: I heard it all, the other directors called you a pony just now!
However, since being able to call Brother Huai means that the other party doesn't hate me very much
Ma Yuhuai continued: "Turn to the part where Grandma Liu tasted tea. Miaoyu later had a conversation with Jia Baoyu when she brought Daiyu and Xue Baochai into the house to taste tea. Read it to me, using Miaoyu's words you understand. sound."
Yan Mulin understood Miaoyu, he knew it.
Ma Yuhuai thought that Yan Mulin needed time to think, and as soon as he picked up the teacup, he heard: Miaoyu handed Jia Baoyu a cup and said, "Can you eat this sea?"
Jia Baoyu immediately stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "I can eat it."
Miaoyu retreated cleverly and didn't give him a cup, and then said: "Although you can eat it, you don't want to waste the tea. Don't you know that 'one cup is a good product', two cups are a thirst-quenching fool, and three cups are a drink. The cow has drunk the mule, so what are you eating the sea? You come alone and give you tea.”
These words made Daiyu and Baochai laugh.
Ma Yuhuai, who had just picked up the teacup, didn't know whether to put it down or take a sip, the three cups were drinking cows and mules, he was making himself uncomfortable!
Ma Yuhuai cleverly did not comment on the passage Yan Mulin just read, but asked him to continue reading another book, the passage where Wang Xifeng appeared.
"This paragraph, you try." Ma Yuhuai said.
After Yan Mulin saw a string of identical words, he knew that the script was basically the same as in his previous life.
So, before the four directors who had just gone to relieve themselves together hadn't pulled up the curtain of the hall, they heard Sister Feng's characteristic laughter: "Hahahahaha~hahahahaha~"
"Hurry up~~ oops~~hahahahaha~~"
The directors looked at each other delicately, what happened during the five minutes they left
"Oh, I came late, I never greeted the distant guest!"
After listening to the following lines, I suddenly remembered that those were Sister Feng's lines.
