"It really won't work!"
Chen Xun said firmly, but seeing his dejected look, he had no choice but to compromise: "You can try playing the role of rescue captain Wang Lei. He's a tough guy leading a rescue team, not talkative but tough enough, which suits your voice and gives you room to perform."
Chris instantly revived: "Okay! Wang Lei it is! As long as I can participate! I'll definitely give you a role that will make the audience want to follow the captain to the rescue!"
He immediately pulled out his phone, called his agent, and declared that he was canceling all his schedules for the next two weeks so he could focus on voice acting in Los Angeles.
Anyone who didn't know better would think he'd landed another Marvel lead role.
Chen Xun shook his head helplessly as he watched his hurried manner.
This guy just loves to join in the fun.
However, Chris may seem carefree, but he is actually extremely serious about his work.
He will do his best in everything he takes on a task.
There's absolutely no problem handing over the role of Wang Lei to him.
The next day, two more VIP guests arrived at the villa.
Paul Walker and Vin Diesel.
As soon as the two entered the room, Vin Diesel gave Chen Xun a tight hug.
"Why did you all come along today? Are you here to try and get a voice acting role too?"
"You guessed it!"
Vin Diesel raised an eyebrow, walked to the sofa, and sat down, his tone serious: "I heard you've made a big-budget Chinese sci-fi film, and I want to help!"
"The role of Liu Peiqiang is perfect for me!"
puff~
Chen Xun spat out the water he had just drunk: "You guys are messing with me on purpose, aren't you?!"
Chris left the day before, and Van arrived the next day!
"This role is not suitable for you!"
Why?
Vin Diesel looked puzzled: "Liu Peiqiang sacrificed himself for all humanity. That's the ultimate core of family. Only I can portray that kind of devotion to family and sense of responsibility towards our global family!"
He looked completely at ease, and then, in his incredibly deep voice, recited a line: "Civilization without humanity is meaningless!"
'
"How about it? Doesn't it exude power?"
"It exudes power, but it's also incredibly intimidating!"
Chen Xun was both amused and exasperated: "Brother Fan, when you make that sound, the audience will think that Liu Peiqiang isn't going to detonate the space station, but rather that he's going to drive the space station at high speed in Jupiter's orbit."
Paul Walker, laughing uncontrollably, patted Vin Diesel on the shoulder: "I told you a long time ago, your voice doesn't suit you, but you wouldn't believe me."
He turned to Chen Xun: "Chen, we watched the rough cut that Robert sent us, and we were blown away. It's a great sci-fi film. We'd like to get involved and voice the Russian astronauts on the space station, Makarov and his partner. We'll do both roles, what do you think?"
Paul's voice is warm and clear, with a calm and steady quality that comes with experience, perfectly matching the image of Makarov as a gentle and reliable old astronaut.
Vin Diesel's deep voice, paired with a forthright and capable Russian man, is a match made in heaven.
Chen Xun's eyes lit up: "Of course! I'd be delighted if you two came!"
Chen Xun's previously disdainful expression vanished.
Vin Diesel curled his lip.
The fact that the two main male leads of Fast & Furious are voicing these two characters is enough to generate buzz in the North American market.
Moreover, their acting skills and delivery of lines are absolutely capable of bringing the characters to life.
The voice cast for the male characters is almost finalized, and the female characters have already been targeted for a while.
A weekend gathering at the villa.
Chen Xun specially played a rough cut of the film at his home.
Elle Fanning came with Dakota. She had just finished watching the film, her eyes were red, and she clung to Dakota's arm, leaning close to Chen Xun with an expectant look on her face: "Brother Chen Xun, can I voice the character Han Duoduo?"
Chen Xun paused for a moment, then asked with a smile, "Why did you decide to pair up with Duoduo?"
"MaiMai and I are best friends!"
Ellie said matter-of-factly, "I was so envious when she played this role, and I'm the same age as her!"
Dakota chuckled and added, "She heard from Mai Mai that the film was going to be released in North America, so she started preparing for the role. She practiced her lines by looking at clips from the finished film every day, and even recited Duoduo's radio lines while sleeping."
Ellie's voice is sweet and lively, carrying the innocence and resilience of a young girl, which perfectly matches the character of Han Duoduo.
Moreover, she and Zhao Jinmai are good friends, so her understanding of the character is definitely much deeper than that of outsiders.
"Alright, the role of Duoduo is yours."
Chen Xun smiled and nodded: "I believe you can definitely do a good job."
"Very good!"
Ellie jumped up instantly, hugged Dakota, and screamed with joy, just like a child.
Seeing her happy expression, Dakota turned to Chen Xun, raised an eyebrow, and smiled, "What about me? Boss Chen, aren't you going to give me a role too?"
"I've already saved it for you."
Chen Xun smiled and said, "Rescue team member Zhou Qian is calm, professional, gentle, and meticulous. She's just like you."
"At least you have a conscience."
Dakota smiled and raised his chin, his eyes full of joy.
Ellie bounced around with Dakota in her arms, repeatedly reciting Han Duoduo's broadcast script.
Chen Xun leaned back on the sofa, flipping through the list of voice actors for "The Wandering Earth," and couldn't help but rub his temples.
Now that the male and female supporting characters have been basically cast, there are only three tough opponents left: Liu Qi, MOSS, and the talkative Lin Tim.
Chen Xun placed the list on the coffee table.
Liu Qi wanted a boyish voice that was tough on the outside but soft on the inside, with a rebellious feel, but not too exaggerated.
MOSS is an AI, so it needs to have a mechanical feel.
Lin Tim has it even harder. He talks a lot and rambles on, so he has to have that kind of witty and humorous energy, but he can't be annoying. He has to be down-to-earth.
Hearing his mutterings, Dakota stopped her acting with Ellie and walked over to the list: "Even Boss Chen has his moments of difficulty. Weren't you quite shrewd before?"
"These three roles really require very specific casting choices."
Chen Xun shrugged helplessly.
Ellie joined in, blinking her big eyes, and said, "Brother Chen Xun, you can send a message to the group chat. There are so many Hollywood actors like Li Man, surely someone will be suitable!"
These words immediately enlightened Chen Xun.
His group is full of hidden talents, including Hollywood's top actors and voice acting veterans; you might just find the right person there.
Moreover, this way, you can join in the fun and add some excitement.
Without hesitation, Chen Xun picked up his phone:
[Urgent Call for Casting! The North American version of "The Wandering Earth" is still missing 3 tough voice actors. We are asking for recommendations from experienced voice actors. Liu Qi: a rebellious teenager with a tough exterior but a soft heart. His voice should be cool but not greasy. Exaggerated acting is not allowed. Violators will be punished by watching ten rough cuts of "The Wandering Earth".]
MOSS: AI mechanical voice, cold and rational, occasionally with a touch of cunning. It can't be the kind of mechanical voice that reads a textbook; it needs to have some soul.
Tim Lin: The talkative one, down-to-earth, his witty banter is not annoying, he can turn a chatterbox into a treasure, he has to talk fast and have a steady mindset.
Note: Selected participants will receive free meals, accommodation, and milk tea, and will also have the opportunity to voice characters alongside Fast & Furious stars, Thor, and the Ellen Fanning sisters. Unselected participants will receive a consolation prize: a ticket to the global premiere of "The Wandering Earth".
I need help urgently.
