Chapter 412 Dubbing Ends
Warner Bros. Recording Studios in Los Angeles.
Chen Xun borrowed Warner's high-standard recording studio directly by using facial recognition.
Warner Music was happy to have this.
Chen Xun's "Joker" revitalized their superhero series; they'd even give him the recording studio.
The monitors in the studio were playing footage from "The Wandering Earth" on a loop.
In front of the dubbing station.
A group of Hollywood's top stars lined up, holding their scripts and staring intently at the screen.
The dubbing work has been going on for ten days.
From the initial dialogue rehearsals and emotional adjustments, all the way to the later frame-by-frame dubbing.
These Hollywood stars, who wield immense influence, are surprisingly down-to-earth.
These people originally came because of Chen Xun's influence.
During their dubbing work, they discovered that dubbing this Chinese science fiction film was far more demanding on their skills than they had imagined.
Vin Diesel voices the burly astronaut, his voice booming with a deep, resonant tone.
The line "Hold on tight, I'm taking you out of here" perfectly captures the thrill of high-octane racing in the Fast & Furious franchise.
People around couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
But when this guy got into the mood for recording, he insisted on adding an impromptu line: "We are family."
Chen Xun reluctantly pressed the pause button.
"Boss Fan, stop, stop."
Chen Xun took off his listening headphones, both amused and exasperated: "If you add the word 'family,' the audience will instantly be pulled out of the movie and into the Fast & Furious universe. The comments section will be full of those famous scenes of racing on Jupiter's orbit. This is a sci-fi movie, not an action movie."
Vin Diesel, still undeterred, stubbornly argued, "The Earth is the family of all humanity; there's nothing wrong with that, right?"
Paul, standing beside him, laughed so hard he couldn't stand up straight: "Alright, don't bring your family obsession into their film."
Everyone in the shed burst into laughter.
The tense atmosphere during the dubbing session instantly relaxed considerably.
In the end, Vin Diesel reluctantly deleted that impromptu line.
Next up is Chris Hemsworth's Lindtim scene.
This guy is totally playing himself.
He's incredibly talkative, rattling off a string of lines into the microphone, delivering them quickly and clearly, and his banter is perfectly timed.
"Perfect match, just right!"
Chen Xun waved his hand.
Chris got cocky after recording, sidling up to Chen Xun and smugly saying, "How was it, bro? I told you I was perfect for this role. Wang Lei's character was too frustrating. Lin Tim is much more suitable for me. When it comes to talking fast, I've never lost to anyone!"
"Yes, yes, you're the best!" Chen Xun shook his head with a smile: "When the movie is released, if the audience criticizes Lin Tim for being noisy, I'll be the first to expose you."
Tom Holland's portrayal of Liu Qi surprised everyone.
He portrayed the boy's rebelliousness, his breakdown when faced with his grandfather's death, and his final resolute act of igniting Jupiter perfectly.
When filming the scene where Han Zi'ang sacrifices himself, he stood in front of the camera and cried while recording the scene, asking Chen Xun with red eyes, "Brother Chen Xun, wasn't this emotional scene a bit too much?"
Not at all.
Chen Xun patted him on the shoulder, his tone full of affirmation: "Liu Qi is a child who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. His grandfather passed away, and his world collapsed. This breakdown is the most real one. You played the role very well."
Even the professional dubbing director in the studio couldn't help but praise: "Tom's empathy is too strong. He completely brought out the soul of the character. He doesn't seem like an actor who is dubbing a Chinese dub for the first time."
Elle Fanning's portrayal of Han Duoduo perfectly captured the girl's naivety and growth.
When she recorded the highlight of the global broadcast, she stood in front of the microphone, and from the initial nervousness and choking up to the later firmness and courage, the sentence "Hope is something as precious as a diamond" brought tears to the eyes of everyone in the audience.
After the recording, she was still immersed in her emotions, hugging Dakota and crying.
Dakota quickly patted her back to comfort her.
The most amazing performance was Tom Kenny's portrayal of MOSS.
This voice actor, who has voiced SpongeBob SquarePants his entire life, has managed to perfectly portray the cold rationality of AI and the cunning hidden in its code.
"To expect humanity to remain rational forever is indeed a pipe dream!"
The mechanical voice carried a barely perceptible sigh that sent chills down one's spine.
After recording, Tom Kenny himself couldn't help but exclaim, "This is the most interesting AI character I've ever voiced, much more challenging than SpongeBob SquarePants!"
Throughout the entire dubbing process, Chen Xun was the one who shocked everyone the most.
He voiced Liu Peiqiang, the central character in the film.
Previously, everyone believed that Chen Xun's acting skills were universally acknowledged.
However, voice acting is a different field altogether, and even if he has a strong command of dialogue, he may not be able to reach the level of a professional voice actor.
But the moment Chen Xun put on the monitoring headphones and stood in front of the microphone, everyone was thoroughly humiliated.
The last video call between Liu Peiqiang and his son Liu Qi was recorded.
His voice carried the guilt of not seeing his son for over a decade, yet also the resolute determination of someone about to face death: "Son, Dad's going on another mission!"
Her breath trembled, yet she forced a gentle expression.
Those in the shed instantly teared up.
When he recorded the most classic line, "Civilization without human beings is meaningless," he didn't use a hysterical shout. Instead, he used a calm yet firm voice to vividly portray a father and an astronaut's obsession with human civilization.
The moment the last note faded, everyone in the recording studio lowered their breathing.
A flurry of attribute orbs fell instantly, flashing with light:
[Masterful voice acting and vocal shaping skills +20]
[Character's overall performance ability +26]
[Localization and adaptation capability for dubbed films +20]
[Voice's emotional impact +32]
Chen Xun absorbed it all.
[Progress towards being recorded in history +1%, current progress: 89%]
A good ten seconds passed before Tom Kenny finally clapped, his eyes filled with incredulous admiration: "Chen, you're a genius! I've been a voice actor for thirty years, and I've never seen someone without a professional background control the breath, emotions, and vocal tone to this extent!"
Your understanding of voice acting is deeper than that of many professionally trained voice actors!
The other actors joined in the applause, and Tom Holland, wide-eyed, exclaimed, "Chen Xun, you're amazing! Your acting is incredible, your voice acting is top-notch, what can't you do?"
Chris patted him on the shoulder and yelled, "Bro, you're leaving us no way out! We can't beat you in acting, and now we can't beat you in voice acting either!"
Chen Xun took off his headphones, smiled and waved his hand: "Don't flatter me, I just know what the role should be like."
Dubbing isn't simply reciting lines; it's about using your voice to re-enact the character. When the emotion is there, the voice naturally comes through.
He spoke casually, but everyone present knew that behind that naturalness lay his profound understanding of the character.
For every line Liu Peiqiang spoke, he marked the rise and fall of his breath, the shifts in his emotions, and even the subtle changes in the characters' micro-expressions on screen, all corresponding to the nuances of his voice.
This level of detail is something even professional voice actors would envy.
Just as the voice-over work was about to wrap up, Chen Xun saw words constantly appearing in front of him:
[The global dubbing work for "The Wandering Earth" has been completed. The host's top-notch performance skills have empowered the dubbing creation, and the character's voice shaping and emotional control have reached the industry's top level, gaining unanimous recognition from dubbing professionals and Hollywood actors.]
