Beijing, July 11 (Reporter Shangguan Yun) In the memory of many people, the 82nd edition of "Journey to the West" is the "standard" for winter and summer vacations. The majestic Sun Wukong is a hero in the minds of many children.
On July 3, 1982, the 82nd edition of "Journey to the West" began filming in Yangzhou. By now, 40 years have passed. But for Feng Jingshan, the recordist of the play and now over seventy years old, many of the shooting stories are still vividly remembered.
He said that in 1982, he was invited to join the crew as a sound recordist and dubbing director. Dubbing seems simple, but in fact, the technical content is quite high. If you handle it well, you can add a lot of color to a drama.

His recording studio is very simple, he built it with wood, bamboo poles and quilts; The main recording equipment includes a 2860 video recorder, a small tuning table that has been eliminated for recording news, etc., which is all "home".
Not only him, at that time, the whole crew was facing some difficulties, but everyone did not cry bitterness or tiredness. Once filming in Zhangjiajie, there were many mountain roads, the car was not good to pass, and everyone carried the equipment.
Feng Jingshan recalled that when the 82nd edition of "Journey to the West" was filmed, there were many big names at that time to dub, such as Zhang Junying, who voiced Guanyin Bodhisattva, Li Po, Wang Yuli, and so on, and everyone was very serious.
Some actors used the soundtrack, such as Cheng Zhi, to make Elder Jinchi come alive; Yan Huaili played the sand monk and successfully created an honest and generous "three masters and disciples" image; "Zhenyuan Daxian" is also the voice of the actor Wu Guiling himself.
Feng Jingshan feels that perhaps the audience can't remember the behind-the-scenes workers such as videographers and sound recordists, but they must try their best to do their job well and make the audience satisfied, "They recognized the 82nd edition of Journey to the West, which is equivalent to recognizing me." ”
For him, participating in the filming of the 82nd edition of "Journey to the West" is a dream, "I grew up like to read classical literature and love to watch "Journey to the West". I must also do a good job of "Journey to the West", and I have an account in my life. ”
As he <西游记>wrote in "I Make Up," "For me, it's the best chapter of my life." There is no myth in my story, there is me in the story of the myth. ”
The following is a summary of the interview:
China News Network: How did you join the crew of the 82nd edition of Journey to the West?
Feng Jingshan: At that time, I was working in the recording department of CCTV. One day at the entrance of the TV station, I met our cameraman Wang Chongqiu, who pulled me aside and asked, "Old Feng, are you willing to do "Journey to the West"?" ”

I was a little confused when I heard it: What "Journey to the West"? He said he was going to make "Journey to the West" and asked me if I would like to be a recording engineer. I said yes of course.
In 1982, we went to Yangzhou to shoot the trial episode "Eliminating the Demon Black Chicken Country". I participated in the filming of "Journey to the West" for six years from beginning to end, and at that time, 3 episodes such as "Disaster Guanyin Temple" were all live-action dubbing, and the effect was very good.
But in this way, the financial burden of the crew will be relatively heavy, coupled with the daytime shooting, and then let the actors dub at night, the time is long and can not persist. After that, the 22 episodes were changed to post-dubbing.
Zhongxin: As far as this drama is concerned, what are your criteria for selecting voice actors?
Feng Jingshan: It was to select the top characters of the various dubbing teams at that time. I am particularly aware of the vocal characteristics of these voice actors and what kind of timbre they can "make up". But there is one principle: it must conform to the true colors of the characters in Journey to the West.
That is to say, whoever has a voice close to the character of "Journey to the West" in my mind, I will find him alone and stay when it is appropriate. Choosing a voice actor is not a good idea, it must be recognized by the audience.
Generally after getting the tape, I watched it for a day or two, so that I had a number in mind, who could match what role, and then recorded it, and let the dramatist contact it the next day.

The actors I invited to voice the voice, including Li Wenling, Wang Yuli, Wu Guiling, Teacher Lu Zhong, etc., are all top-notch characters. The big names in these dubbing circles are willing to come when they hear that they want to voice "Journey to the West".
Let's talk about Chen Axi. Her voice is particularly capable of "makeup", and one person assigned 9 roles to "Journey to the West", which is handy and does not wear help at all. She never takes the script in the dubbing, and always memorizes the lines, which is particularly serious.
China News Network: In the play, who are the voice actors for the role of Sun Wukong?
Feng Jingshan: In the first 11 episodes, the next 6 episodes are basically voiced by Li Yang. After these episodes, there is no dubbing task for the time being, and Li Yang is on a business trip. But a few days later, Ma Lizhu came with two tapes, saying that from episodes 1 to 5 needed to be dubbed immediately.
The role of Sun Wukong is too important, and Li Yang's voice is also very good, where to find someone to replace him? At this time, the actor Officia Li Longbin recommended a voice actor to me, that is, Li Shihong.
When the people came, I first made a little request: dubbing a video of Sun Wukong turning over in the water. This is the most difficult to match, Li Shihong said no problem, tried it, his dubbing sounds ancient and long, especially attached to the character, really made me overjoyed.
So, he voiced The First 5 Episodes of these 11 episodes of Son Goku. In addition, actor Zhang Hanyu also dubbed Sun Wukong.

China News Network: In the dubbing work of the 82nd edition of "Journey to the West", what is something that makes you unforgettable?
Feng Jingshan: One day I received a notice that the 11 episodes that were filmed first would be broadcast together. I'm embarrassed: how do the voice actors in these 11 episodes, who originally had two voices, connect their voices without leaving a trace?
Later, I found a combination point, that is, the "Trapped Five Elements Mountain". Later, Sun Wukong was about to get out of trouble, and let Tang Monk go farther, using Li Shihong's voice here.
There is a long shot running to the master in the middle, among which the voice of Sun Wukong, I look for Zhang Hanyu to match, he has a strong ability to imitate, he can learn both Li Shihong and Li Yang, I asked for the final tone to be attributed to Li Yang's tone.
Then, Sun Wukong knelt down to Tang Monk and called out", "Master", which was replaced by Li Yang's voice. Li Shihong's voice is more tender, and sun wukong in the early stage is somewhat unfamiliar with the world, which is more appropriate.
Later, Sun Wukong made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, experienced a lot of things, matured a lot after escaping from the Five Elements Mountain, and Li Yang's voice was more in line with the characteristics of the characters at this time.

China News Network: Have you played any role in this "Journey to the West"?
Feng Jingshan: I have acted somewhat. In "Stealing Ginseng Fruit", the monkey is caught by Zhen Yuan Daxian, and I play a Taoist priest in it, with no lines. He also played a minister.
In the episode "Tianzhu Harvesting Jade Rabbit", I played a palace guard and had a conversation with the real princess. The person who dubbed this line for me was Zhang Hanyu, and it was recorded once.
China News Network: Recalling the experience of filming "Journey to the West" decades ago, how do you feel?
Feng Jingshan: I have recorded many TV series, but I have a deep memory of "Journey to the West", and many things are imprinted in my mind. Six years to shoot this drama, it is really not easy.
For voice directors, if you want to properly express the feelings of the characters, you must listen carefully to the original voice, analyze which voice actor is more appropriate, be meticulous, and not be afraid of trouble. It is not possible not to be strict, it must be worthy of the audience. (End)
