Mention Shi Banyu, everyone may not have any impression, but when it comes to Zhou Xingchi, I think everyone knows it.
It is well known that Stephen Chow's Mandarin is not particularly fluent, but his films can be widely circulated in the mainland, and the credit of the voice actors is indispensable.
Shi Banyu is the royal voice of Zhou Xingchi, yes, it is his demonic laughter, as if it is still vivid in the ears.
The fate of Shi Banyu and Stephen Chow originated from the 1990 movie "Gambler", which was made by Andy Lau and Stephen Chow.
At that time, the film company wanted to find a voice actor whose voice was relatively different from the two of their original voices, so it found Shi Banyu.
Subsequently, "The Whole Trick Expert" also found Shi Banyu to voice Zhou Xingchi, probably from that time, everyone found that this person, whether it is timbre or rhythm, is quite suitable for Zhou Xingchi's style.
At that time, some fans believed that it was Shi Banyu's unique dubbing that made Stephen Chow famous in the mainland and had more fans on both sides of the Taiwan Straits.
In my opinion, I think it is like this, without Shi Banyu, Zhou Xingchi is not necessarily a fire in the mainland, but without Zhou Xingchi, Shi Banyu should be unknown.
"Others laugh at me too crazy, I laugh at others can't see through", accompanied by rhythmic hahahahaha, a little sad, a little nonsense, a little self-deprecating, a little clever, Shi Banyu's voice is a little sharp, but also a little cheap, just like the restoration of the comedic effect of Stephen Chow's movie, and even deepened the movie, the aftertaste is endless.
According to incomplete statistics, there are nearly 30 movies in which Shi Banyu dubbed and dubbed Stephen Chow.
Although Shi Banyu became famous for dubbing Stephen Chow, he also voiced other actors, such as "The Legend of the New White Lady" introduced in 1993, and Li Gongfu was voiced by Shi Banyu
In addition, he also dubbed Chen Xiaochun in "Ancient Puzzle Boy", Zeng Zhiwei in "The King of Killers", Jacky Cheung in "Rats and Dragons", and Zhang Jiahui in "Casino Storm".
However, between 2008 and 2010, Shi Banyu went to work as a tour guide, probably because the salary of the voice actor was really not very high.
Shi Banyu once told the media: "From the first 10 years before I entered the industry, to the 30 years and nearly 40 years that I have been in the industry, the salary for recording a 30-minute cartoon has basically not changed." In 1985 I was charged the price of an episode of the TV series, and it is still the same. But wages in other industries have risen dozens of times. ”
He said that because Xingye did not shoot scenes, he could only get about 400 yuan in an episode now, and he had to change careers.
Because "as a voice actor, I can't afford to raise my family."
Are voice actors really that low-paid?
Yan Mengmeng, the voice of "Qi Guiren" in "The Biography of Zhen Huan", revealed that generally a 30-episode TV series will not be paid more than five figures. In the high season, the voice actor can take almost two plays a month. On average, ordinary dubbing has about 7,000 or 8,000 incomes a month, and a little more is tens of thousands. Compared with TV series, the film dubbing is relatively higher than the "input-output ratio", and a movie can be completed in one day, with an income ranging from 1000-3000 yuan, which is much better than the TV series.
Of course, every industry has leaders and big cards, but for newcomers who have just entered the industry, it is about 100-200 yuan per episode, and ordinary dubbing is about 300 yuan per episode, and the gap will not be particularly large.
Recently watched a show "I am a special voice", only to find that the original dubbing circle and the entertainment industry are very similar, there is a family standing on the spire, but more is the voice actor who is still working hard in obscurity.
The filming of a TV series or movie takes at least a few months, but the dubbing of a TV series or movie only takes more than ten days to complete.
For voice actors, they rely on their voices to play roles and move others, but few outsiders know their existence and know their names.
For this reason, "I Am a Special Voice" is, to a certain extent, a vegan variety show without stars.
So when the show starts, 33 contestants appear one after another, and everyone's first reaction may be: Oh, which one is this?
Although it is a little strange to the audience, there are still senior-level characters within the players.
For example, the photosynthetic building blocks, who are called "Ma Teacher" by the players, represent Ma Zhengyang's predecessors.
As soon as he appeared, it now seemed as if he had become a fan meeting.
Why does he have such a high voice?
It turns out that there are really many of his dubbing works, and the most representative works include Fu Heng in "Yanxi Raiders", Xiao Pingjing in "The Wind Rises in the Long Forest" in "Langya List", and Zhu Rong in "Big Fish and Begonias".
In addition to Ma Zhengyang, there is another figure who also belongs to the level of "Great God". He is Zhao Qianjing, the co-founder of Lingsheng Culture, who is called "crushing level" and "dimensionality reduction strike" by many players.
The role that Zhao Qianjing has played is also classic:
If the appearance of Ma Zhengyang, the other players are surprised, then for the appearance of Zhao Qianjing, this group of children received "fright".
However, sometimes, the higher you stand, the more painful it will be.
Whether it is Ma Zhengyang or Zhao Qianjing, in the first round of pk, both of them lost one after another, and finally could only let go.
Yes, on this stage in "I Am a Special Voice", all the contestants, whether senior seniors or novices, must rely on their strength to conquer the judges to conquer the audience.
They must undergo round after round of examinations, one performance after another, one guidance and learning after another, and compete in the votes of mentors and judges and audiences.
So from another point of view, the show actually shows the working status and behind-the-scenes story of the sound actors in an all-round way, and how good sound actors are made.
In fact, this may also be fortunate for them. They are not so much participating in competitions as they are participating in training. Because the judges are also very senior voice actors, they will give you some advice based on their own experience.
In addition to the judges, the program team also invited some flight instructors.
They are almost all dubbing bigwigs, they are almost all starting from small roles to gaining the trust and appreciation of big directors step by step, and they know too well what kind of waiting and hardships voice actors have to go through.
Therefore, their appearance is an expectation and encouragement for the new voice actors, and it is a kind of help.
A newcomer to the dubbing once said, "Looking at the seniors on the spire, it seems that you will never be able to see your head." ”
With a show, can it become popular? Can they become famous overnight? I think it's unlikely.
But at least with this show, let our ordinary audience know that behind the actors, there are voice actors.
At least let these new people who can't see their heads have a stage to show themselves, give them a beam of light, and shine in the direction they are heading.
