<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > unique Finas and Shen Xiaoqian</h1>
Before saying Shen Xiaoqian, we must first talk about Louis. morality. Louis De Funès.
This cute little old man is a comedy master I think can match Chaplin.
This French actor, when he entered our sight, was already an old man. He was not tall, bald, a little belly, not handsome, slender, curved eyebrows, and a pair of eyes that should look melancholy when quieted down. Just such an unassuming old man, it is entirely possible to drown in a field of handsome and beautiful women, but with his endless facial expressions and flexible body language, he is different, stands out from the crowd, and always attracts your eyeballs to follow closely. Where there is him, he must be the protagonist, and other actors, no matter how good their appearance and acting skills, will be covered by his light. He seems to have infinite energy, like an active child, noisy and noisy, running and jumping, unable to be quiet for a moment; and like a clockwork robot, there is not a single part in the whole body that does not move, and he never tires and performs tirelessly...
From neurotic conductors, simple peasants, stupid policemen, stubborn gourmets, to mean bosses, arbitrary capitalists, greedy ministers... Finas is also good and evil, noble and lowly, and is at ease, vividly portraying a variety of complex personalities: kind and enthusiastic but selfish and suspicious, shrewd and capable but cunning and obedient. His every action, every line, has reached the point where it comes to fruition. If just a blink of an eye and an eyebrow raise can trigger a wave of laughter that leans forward and backward, Finas will not let it go!
How many times have you watched him chatter, open his teeth and claws, shake his head, squeeze his eyebrows, hum, jump up and down (too many verbs to use!). The square laughed in unison, stopped abruptly, and then erupted again. Everyone fell into the ocean of happiness and did not think about it. Phineas pushes the role of actors' performances in a film to an extreme level. (In many small French films, the scenes are unique, the plot is simple, and the whole story is supported by the performance of the actors.) He's such a great actor!
Although sometimes he grimaced like a mischievous child; sometimes he was timid as a rat, timidly blindfolded with his hands; sometimes he shouted hysterically like a shrew; sometimes he was so neurotic that he was incomprehensibly incompatible with his personality... He doesn't look like a perfect man no matter what. However, it is his ordinary appearance (short, bald) and exaggerated performance of the humble qualities of ordinary people that have won the hearts of the people. Those handsome guys and heroes are too far away from us, too high up to get close. And he, the ordinary old man, is loved by everyone, and we affectionately call him "Fifi", "cute little french old man".
Because of him, it seems natural to fall in love with French comedy and then to become obsessed with French cultural customs. Even when I was in elementary school, I made a vow that "I will not go to France in this life, and I will not be blinded when I die." In fact, one of the purposes I wanted to go to France was to personally visit this great comedian who was lovely and respectable, and even though he was an old man, I wanted to give him a warm hug and put a kiss on his bare head! Unfortunately, after going to college, I found out that he had died in 1983. That is to say, when he comes alive and brings us endless joy in the movie square now, and when we foolishly think that he is still alive on the screen, he is already buried underground. Even if I could go to France in the future, the old man born in 1914 would never have waited for the day he met me. This is truly regrettable. Fifi, who belongs to the last century, but his screen image can be passed down through the ages. I think the cute Fifi should be lucky. How many actors can still bring joy after death and be loved by generations?
Well, back to Shen Xiaoqian (can't find his photo, urgent). His voice is actually very magnetic (bass magnetic), but because the most impressive characters in the comedies in France, Italy and other countries that I like are his, or as long as there are comedies he voices, I remember them very well, so he has always been the spokesperson for "comedy sounds" in my mind. In this way, he cannot belong to the category of romantic "lovers" that make me intoxicated, but he is a funny and cute pistachio, and it is equally indispensable.
As we all know, the performance of comedy characters is very exaggerated, the speed of speech is very fast, and the language is long, fragmentary, and even illogical. This poses a great challenge for voice actors, not only to speak clearly and accurately, but also to feel the bit and do it in one go. For example, the roles played by Phineas, in my opinion, are "mission impossible", the little old man is shocked, the pace of speech is fast, the language is also mixed with onomatopoeia, whistles, a play down, it is estimated that not only the mouth can not stand, the heart can not stand.
But Shen Xiaoqian was qualified for these roles. His voice is mute, but it jumps smartly, the layers are clear, and the ups and downs are natural and smooth, extremely explosive and infectious. Cold and quiet, it turned out to be so deep and affectionate. I remember watching open-air movies during my elementary school years, as long as there are comedy translations and productions, this voice must be indispensable. "Gourmet", "Pure Coincidence", "Casino Adventure", "Millennium Obsession", "Katayama Police", "Rooster Sonata", "Flying Yanfu", "God Is Crazy"... It is no wonder that in the case of shallow experience and limited understanding at that time, among the voices that my little head can retain, in addition to the beautiful tone of Tong Zirong with emotional pulses, the most brilliant is this somewhat hoarse but passionate "comedy voice". Although it is a bit funny, a little clown, but what can bring people joy, how can it not be unforgettable?
This must be a dubbing prodigy, as I thought as a child. Teacher Su Xiu commented in his memoirs that he was as "talented" as Qiu Yuefeng; Teacher Cao Lei also commented on him as a "rare rising star" and seemed to appreciate him. Unfortunately, I've barely seen his non-comedy films, but I'm sure it must be excellent too.
In my impression, Shen Xiaoqian should be the best Chinese endorsement for Finas. The famous "Tiger's Mouth Escape" was only seen later when I bought a disc. When I found out that the conductor was matched by Shang Hua, I was depressed for a while. Of course, Teacher Shang is well matched (and Teacher Yu Ding), but I firmly believe that if Comrade Shen had been born a few years earlier, he could have matched this role for generations to come.
When I saw "Beautiful Life" (non-translated version) in college, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the protagonist had the shadow of Finnes. At that time, I thought that this role would be most suitable if it was played by Shen Xiaoqian. Later, I watched "Elf Mouse Brother", I also thought so; watched "Taxi Flowers", I also wanted to; watched "Agent Transfer Student", I also wanted; watched "Undercover Fat Mother", I also wanted; ...
Some of these good wishes have actually been fulfilled, and some have become regrets. Now that Hollywood is in power and American films are rampant, my beloved French comedies are getting farther and farther away. Just as the departure of Finés took away an era, France may no longer have such a master of comedy as Fifi and such a rich genre of laughter comedies. And the unique "comedic voice" in my heart has gradually passed away.
Without Fei Fei, there was no Shen Xiaoqian.
The people of the past have gone by the Yellow Crane, and the Yellow Crane Tower is empty here. The yellow crane is gone, and the white clouds are long in the air!
However, in my life, the joy continues, and the laughter is still loud. I had to learn to tolerate some regrets. This is life.
