Who is the person who brings you the most laughter? I believe that many people have Stephen Chow on their lists.
His films have accompanied many people through their youth, and in laughter we see the indomitable struggles and struggles of small characters, and when we realize those struggles and struggles, the ignorant teenagers have grown up to become the characters in the movies.
"Journey to the West", "Tang Bohu Dian Qiu Xiang", "The King of Comedy", "Kung Fu", "Truant Weilong"... Almost everyone can easily count a string of Chow's movie names. However, as long as you have seen one of his movies, you will not forget the hearty and magical laughter in the Mandarin version. Many people know that this voice is from the mouth of Shi Banyu, the voice of the Star Lord.
Shi Banyu, whose real name is Shi Renmao, was born in 1961 in Taiwan, with his ancestral home in Guilin, Guangxi. In 1983, by chance, Shi Banyu came into contact with dubbing work. At the beginning, Shi Banyu's dubbing work was not smooth, because his voice was sharp, which did not conform to the "Heroic Style" of the positive characters in the movie, and could only dub some villains such as eunuchs and adulterers, and was ridiculed by peers in the industry as eunuchs. Until 1991, Zhou Xingchi found Shi Banyu when filming "Gambler", when he was at the trough of his career, he completely let go, according to the performance characteristics of Zhou Xingchi, combined with the exaggerated actions of the other party in the sound, and at the same time carried out a second sound performance, and the result was very popular with the market after the launch, and many people even thought that it was the original sound of Zhou Xingchi. To this end, the Taiwan agency company responsible for the distribution of Stephen Chow's films simply directly authorized him to become the exclusive dubber of Stephen Chow in Taiwan, and after that, Shi Banyu began a dubbing career for Chow For more than ten years.
Shi Banyu is basically involved in 80% of Stephen Chow's dubbing work. After Stephen Chow became famous at home and abroad, audiences who were accustomed to listening to Mandarin, and then went to look for his previous early non-Shi Banyu dubbing works, found that the excitement of the film was greatly reduced. It can also be seen that Shi Banyu's role in Chow Sing Chi's audience in Mandarin is very important.
In order to maintain a good voice, Shi Banyu strictly controlled tobacco and alcohol, and even did not let himself stay up late. In order to pay attention to Stephen Chow's acting skills and the emotions he expressed, Shi Banyu practiced for a long time to understand Chow's acting tips in the movie. To this end, Shi Banyu also specially learned Hokkien and dubbed Hokkien for Stephen Chow's film, and the cooperation between the two people was seamless.
Decades have passed, more than thirty movies have been matched, the original star boy has become a star master, and Shi Banyu has also become a big name in the dubbing industry. It can be said that Zhou Xingchi achieved Shi Banyu, and Shi Banyu also created Zhou Xingchi, who was a god.
In addition to dubbing Stephen Chow, Shi Banyu also voiced Li Gongfu in "The Legend of the New White Lady". Imagine that Zhou Xingchi's imagination and Li Gongfu's honest duty actually came from the mouth of a person, is it particularly nonsensical?
Of course, Shi Banyu, who is such a big coffee, will not miss the dubbing of a series of male gods such as Zhang Weijian, Liang Chaowei, Jacky Cheung, Ke Shouliang, Chen Xiaochun and so on. Can you remember which character in which drama you probably wanted? Are they all completely different voices?
As Stephen Chow gradually turns behind the scenes, Shi Banyu's voice has gradually faded out of our ears, but his voice will always be remembered by many people, because he is indeed an unchanging classic in our hearts.
There are talented people in the Jiangshan generation. The voice actors of the older generation are gradually fading out of the world, and the new generation is also cultivating themselves quickly. No way, in the era of new media, there are countless advertising films and short videos being born every day, and the introduction of a large number of foreign language films, as well as the blowout of domestic animation and games, are indicating the rise of a sunrise profession: full-time and part-time voice actors are and will be in a state of shortage for a long time. Knowing how to dub is equivalent to placing a ready-to-use ability plug-in for your life!
