Speaking of recent hot movies, "Bomb Disposal Expert 2" is definitely the most shiny one. The box office exceeded 400 million in 4 days of release, which can be said to be a rare achievement in Hong Kong films in recent years.
Tv dramas and movies produced in Hong Kong were once the guarantee of quality and the peak of ratings. Although in recent years, with the talent going north, the Hong Kong film and television circle has declined a bit, but in 2018, there are still excellent and evocative Hong Kong dramas like "Golden Night Building", and after watching it, people can't help but miss the old TV series of TVB.
TVB, also known as TVB, is the abbreviation of Hong Kong Television Broadcasting Company Limited and is highly prestigious in the Mainland. The mainland's reform and opening up in the 1980s and the gradual improvement of living conditions in the mainland created unique conditions for the spread of TVB films and television. At that time, domestic film and television production was still in its infancy, the public's pursuit of spiritual life was rapidly increasing, and the various information brought by opening up to the outside world gave birth to curiosity about the "outside world". TvB's film and television works have influenced a group of internal audiences because of their unique life scenes, different thinking and cultural perceptions, forming a unique TVB culture and becoming an important part of the growth memory. The earliest TV series to enter the mainland was "Huo Yuanjia" in 1983, which was widely sought after once it was broadcast, laying a good mass foundation for the future dissemination of Hong Kong film and television.
Do you remember those TVB series that dominated the screen in your childhood? Let's count their names together!
"Legend of the Eagle Shooter", "Tianlong Eight Parts", "Divine Eagle Hero", "Miao Cuihua", "Sister of the Gun", "Search for Qin", "Criminal Investigation Archives", "Genesis", "Big Time"... These impressive Hong Kong dramas were all famous in the 90s, and when they were broadcast, they were empty of people, and they are still brought out by everyone from time to time to reminisce. The plot is fascinating, the plot is never procrastinating, and the characters are superbly acted... Any advantage can hang the flooded water injection series that are now on the market.
However, these advantages alone are not enough to make TVB dramas widely popular in the mainland, and the barriers of Cantonese and Mandarin are enough to make many ordinary viewers give up watching the series. Therefore, tvB's Chinese voice actors are the real behind-the-scenes heroes of Hong Kong dramas. The imperfection of a Hong Kong film Chinese version is reflected in whether those voice actors play perfectly, because grasping the speaking habits of these characters depends on the usual accumulation and experience of life, which depends on the skills of the voice director and voice actors.
1. Du Yange.
The number one male voice that cannot be avoided among the Voice Actors of Hong Kong dramas is definitely Du Yange. His voice is magnetic and tense, and slightly nasal, perfect for the boy type with witty humor and even a little oily slippery tone, which will coax girls. Because Of Gu Tianle and Luo Jialiang, Jiang Hua often plays such boys, so Du Yange often fixed the role of these two. You can think back to gu tianle or Luo Jialiang, is the sound echoing in your ears very similar? As for the Cantonese pronunciation of the real Gu Tianle or Luo Jialiang, many mainland audiences are completely unimpressed.
Du Yange is a native of Beijing, joined the showbiz circle in the 1980s, joined the TVB Chinese dubbing group in the 1990s, and created countless classics, known as the film emperor in front of the microphone. In recent years, Du Yange has gone to the front of the curtain, starred in a number of TVB dramas, and played important roles.
If you mention Du Yange's voice character, I am afraid that I can't write on a screen. Almost all of Wei Junjie's representative works such as "Sister of the Gun Master", "Drunken Golden Branch", etc., Gu Tianle's "Divine Eagle Hero", "Full Moon Curved Knife", etc., Luo Jialiang's "Genesis", "Heaven and Earth Boy", etc., are Du Yange's voice, and he is the big producer and big male protagonist in Hong Kong films.
2. Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi's voice is very malleable, and he appears very rational when his voice is low, which can interpret the intelligent male protagonist; and when he raises his voice, he appears energetic and can interpret the male protagonist of the heroic image. Because of these advantages, Zhang Yi's play path is very wide, and his voice is often indispensable in TVB's episodes.
The representative of rational men belongs to Jiang Zishan of the Criminal Investigation Archives. Looking at Chen Jinhong's handsome appearance, and listening to Zhang Yi's rational and magnetic voice to analyze and solve the case, it is absolutely wonderful. And zhang Yi's representative of the hot-blooded boy, Luo Tianyou in "Fire Ambition" bore the brunt of it. Tianyou's personality is sometimes calm and strong, sometimes the flesh and blood are just impulsive and good, Zhang Yi's voice is also suddenly low and high, suddenly gentle and rational, suddenly passionate, perfectly combined with Tianyou's personality, so that the audience hates not being able to immediately follow them into death to devote themselves to the vigorous fire fighting cause.
Born in Xi'an, Zhang Yi entered the dubbing industry in 1994 and joined TVB hong Kong in 1997, where she is now the chief voice actor of TVB. His resume is also written out of a long string, and Liang Chaowei's Chinese voice in "Infernal Affairs" is him, the famous sentence "Say three years, three years later and three years?" It was from Zhang Yi's mouth.
3. Liu Yinsheng
Liu Yinsheng's voice feels very homely, very kind, basically a neighbor uncle, so most of them are paired with some TVB middle-aged characters. But mentioning Liu Yinsheng's voice was once obsessed with mothers, because he dubbed almost all of Ouyang Zhenhua's episodes, "Heavenly God of Wealth", "Royal Anti-Thousand Group", "No. 1 Court", "Anti-Smuggling Qunying", "Top Gun Sister", "Drunken Golden Branch", "Sweeping Yellow Pioneer"... It can be said that to create the image of Ouyang Zhenhua's humorous women's friend, Liu Yinsheng is indispensable. Later, Ouyang Zhenhua changed the voice in "Casino Storm", and mainland audiences expressed strangeness, which was also inevitable.
Liu Yinsheng, like Du Yange, is a native of Beijing, and when he joined TVB in the mid-1980s, his hearty laughter always made people feel how beautiful life was. But a closer look at Liu Yinsheng's resume, in fact, his play path is also very wide, like Bao Zheng in "New Bao Qingtian", Ren I Xing in "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu", Duan Zhengchun in "Tianlong Eight Parts", Ouyang Feng in "Divine Eagle Hero", etc., there are some negative roles, but Liu Yinsheng is also very brilliant.
4. Penning
After talking about male voice actors for half a day, I also want to talk about the pawns among the TVB voice actors. Pan Ning is the well-deserved TVB dubbing female number one, almost all of Kwan Wing Ho's scenes are voiced with Pan Ning's Chinese, and Liu Yinsheng and liu Yinsheng have teamed up to dedicate countless classic CPs. Pan Ning mostly portrays the respectable image of Hong Kong women with self-esteem and self-reliance. Such a voice will always make the men who admire her want to stop, because the characters with Panning's voice are so good, elegant, and appropriate big heroine voices.
In addition to most of Guan Yonghe's dramas, Pan Ning's main works include Guo Aiming's "Heaven and Earth Pride", "Laughing at the Wind and Clouds", and Guo Keying's "Criminal Investigation Files", which can be said to be the representative voice of wisdom and wisdom. In addition, there are some characters that you can't think of are also Pan Ning's voice, such as Guo Fu ("Divine Eagle Hero"), Shuang'er ("Deer Ding"), Ouyang Haichao ("Fire Rose"), there are brutal and willful, gentle and sensible, and charming, is it not very surprising?
Penning, also a mainlander, signed up for TVB in the 1980s and still serves TVB today.
5, small
Xiao Xiao is also a character that must be mentioned in the female voice of Hong Kong dramas. From the female number one to the role of the yahuan who is too small to be small, she can be competent. The little voice is very special, so that people can immediately recognize a play, it is a very clear voice, but every word will be slightly trembling. She often voices Xuanxuan, such as Wu Qiaojun in "Criminal Investigation File IV". With that said, didn't you suddenly remember her voice?
Xiao Xiao is very good at playing the role of a young girl, such as Pan Ning dubbing Guo Fu, while Xiao Xiao dubbing Guo Xiang, and has a very good experience of the shyness and innocence of a young girl. Unfortunately, perhaps considering the problem of the dubbing combination, TVB officials tried not to break the previous Du-Pan/Du-Xing, and later Zhang Yi/Su Baili/Xing Jinsha combinations, resulting in Xiao Xiao in a redundant position. More unfortunately, due to the aging of the voice line, Xuan Xuan's role has also been replaced by the younger Su Baili, and in recent years, the role of the small voice as the protagonist has been very few. Probably in 2012, Xiao Xiao left TVB, hoping that she could break through the bottleneck and have more choices and developments!
6. Su Baili
People who like to watch Hong Kong dramas can immediately recognize her voice as soon as they hear her voice, because Su Baili is almost a professional of Miss Diao Man. Because Liu Yucui often plays such roles, Su Baili has simply become her "screen voice". Ah Zi in "Tianlong Babu", Xu Liushi in "Miao Cuihua", and Princess Jianning in "Deer Ding" are all works by Su Baili. Her voice is also very thick, the biting words have a little Bit of Hong Kong flavor, and the TVB dramas of Miss Diao Or the more masculine and unrestrained girls are all voiced by her regularly. In terms of movies, "Fancy Years", "The King of Comedy", "Infernal Affairs", "Kung Fu", "Shaolin Football", "God Eater", etc., Su Baili also made wonderful dubbing performances.
Su Baili was born in Tianjin into a family of Pear Garden, and her maternal grandfather was Xun Huisheng, one of the four famous dans in China. Apparently, Su Baili inherited her grandfather's vocal talent and released this talent in the dubbing industry.
Although there have been Chinese voices for so many episodes, TVB's Chinese dubbing team is actually only about 70 people, which is already the best and most voice actor resource in Hong Kong. Some viewers said that Hong Kong dubbers used to use those familiar voices, first of all because of the relationship between the system of voice actor grouping, and secondly, the audience is not familiar with the new voice actors, and the new generation of voice actors have not discovered the characteristics of their own voices, and the voice line is still imitating the older generation, so it has created this feeling.
Compared with the past, TVB's glory has indeed declined: a large number of actors have left, and the production of TVB dramas has shrunk. And the consumption of voice actors in Hong Kong is not as industrial and diversified as in Japan – no popular idol voice actors, no voice actor records and advertising CM, let alone meet-ups and interviews. Losing a lot of bonuses, fighting nature is hard kung fu, Hong Kong's vision of entertainment is harsh, and the TVB voice actors who can stay until the end can be said to be people with good qualifications and hard work.
