Chapter 7 Remuneration
The story of "Agarwood Saves the Mother" has a long history in China. It mainly tells the story of the Virgin Mary marrying the mortal Liu Yanchang in the mortal world and giving birth to the Agarwood. After knowing it, the Heavenly Court was extremely angry and pressing the Virgin Mary under Mount Hua to suffer. After Xiao Chenxiang grew up and became an immortal, she studied art. When she finished her art, she used the Xuanhua Mountain Axe to split Mount Hua and rescued her mother.
After Zhou Peng roughly passed the Baolian Lantern, immersed in the moving storyline and recalling the voice of dubbing Chenxiang in his previous life, Zhou Peng had already gained full confidence in the dubbing of the character Young Chenxiang.
"After watching it?" Chen Peisi chatted with director Chang Guangxi for a while, and walked over and asked, "This young man, Chen Xiang's role is not easy to master. Because he is the protagonist, the requirements are very strict. Many people have been beaten before you. Are you confident?"
Zhou Peng pondered for a while, "It should be no problem."
Chen Peisi patted Zhou Peng on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You don't have to be under too much pressure. Just work hard. I'm optimistic about you."
Zhou Peng nodded gratefully. Chen Peisi in front of him is a famous celebrity now. He has made outstanding progress in film and sketch careers. Taking care of himself as an unknown person in this way can be said to be a good intention.
At this time, the young man Hu Ge ran over happily, full of excitement on his face, and asked Zhou Peng, "Zhou Peng, how are you? Have you remembered it? Your character is the young man Chenxiang. You just need to remember the first half of the lines!"
Zhou Peng shook his head. It seemed that there was still a lot of gap between the young Hu Ge in front of him and the mature Hu Ge in later generations. The lines were not just memorized. In addition to the emotional dubbing, it was also a top priority to integrate into the atmosphere of the entire story.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the recording studio!" Hu Ge said happily.
Zhou Peng felt a little surprised Hu Ge's reaction, "Why are you so happy?"
Hu Ge said proudly, "Just just sent me a 50 yuan salary..."
Zhou Peng was stunned for a moment, so few? Then he suddenly remembered what Hu Ge said before, and then said incredibly, "You just deserve the word 'ah' and you took fifty?"
Hu Ge frowned, "I can't compare to you, fifty is already a lot in my opinion."
Zhou Peng laughed in silence, knowing that Hu Ge was wrong, but he didn't explain to him. He followed Hu Ge to the recording studio. There was a beautiful mature woman in her twenties in the entire recording studio. Zhou Peng knew that her name was Ning Jing, and he dubbed the adult girl in "Caramboo Saves Mother". He met in the big bus before and came from Tonghua County with Zhou Peng.
Ning Jing was wearing a pair of headphones and signaled to Zhou Peng with a smile.
Zhou Peng nodded, took out a pair of headphones next to him and put them on. He touched the microphone. Then he looked at Chang Guangxi, Chen Peisi, Jiang Wen and others sitting outside the glass window. He swallowed a little nervous. He picked up the script in his hand and was silently familiar with the lines of the young man Chenxiang. Then compared with the scene playing on the screen in the recording studio, Zhou Peng took a deep breath, listened to the sound in the headphones, and started the first recording.
"What do you think?" After observing for a while, Chen Peisi sat on the chair and turned to Jiang Wen and said.
Jiang Wen's eyes were full of praise, "The emotions and rhythm are well grasped."
Chang Guangxi curled his lips and said to Chen Peisi, "No wonder you highly recommend it. It is indeed a waste not to cultivate such a good seedling to become a successor."
Chen Peisi was stunned and said in surprise, "Successor?"
Jiang Wen and Chang Guangxi looked at each other and laughed, "Who doesn't know what you think?"
Chen Peisi touched his bare head and smiled bitterly, "You're wrong. Zhou Peng, I didn't know in advance that he has such a high talent in the dubbing industry... You should know that in terms of dubbing, I just take it as an interest. I'm not very proficient in this area... How could I train this kid to be a successor..."
Xu Fan smiled and said, "It can be seen that this is the first time bald Chen has met this kid."
Chang Guangxi finished laughing when he heard this. He listened to the dubbing of the young man Agarwood coming from the recording studio, and showed an expression of admiration. "Anotherwise, let alone his age, this kid has a good talent in dubbing. I think, there is no need to choose again next. This young man Agarwood's horn is given to Zhou Peng..."
"Uh..." Hu Ge listened to the comments of these big names in the entertainment industry today on the side, looking at Zhou Peng in the recording studio through the glass window, and opened his eyes wide, "This guy, that's better than me, I didn't expect to be so powerful, I got the protagonist's dubbing..."
After about forty minutes, Zhou Peng walked out with a dry mouth holding the script, and behind him was Ning Jing's thumbs up.
"Not bad!" Chang Guangxi stood up and handed Zhou Peng a cup of boiling water himself. "Although some places still have some flaws, after post-processing, I believe it will be very perfect."
"Once, it's amazing Zhou Peng!" Xu Fan exclaimed from the side and looked at Zhou Peng carefully, "Are you sure it's your first time dubbing?"
Zhou Peng took a sip of water and nodded with a smile, "It's indeed the first time, but I want to re-record it. It seems that I'm not in the state just now..."
Chen Peisi touched his bald head, "It's good to be perfect, it's good, old man, you can't neglect this kid in terms of pay. Although you haven't signed a contract with you yet, we are all witnesses present. You can't cheat. You must give the pay you should give!"
Chang Guangxi laughed and scolded, "You still say you are not the successor? You just talk too much..."
Seeing these big names having fun and fighting, Zhou Peng finally breathed a sigh of relief. In the following time, Zhou Peng took a break for a while, then returned to the studio, quickly integrated into the story scene, and started another recording.
After the evening, Chang Guangxi led the crew members of "Agarwood Saves Mother" to hold a banquet in a restaurant. While drinking and drinking, Chang Guangxi called Zhou Peng out, carefully took out a check from his briefcase outside the door and handed it to Zhou Peng. At the same time, he smiled mysteriously, "Don't let the uncles and aunts inside see it, ah?"
Zhou Peng was a little confused, looked down at the check in his hand, counted the numbers on it, and his eyes instantly opened wide.
"Forty thousand, don't think it's too little. This is the price of a first-line voice actor..." Chang Guangxi patted Zhou Peng's shoulder and said with a giggle, "I have asked my assistant to make a contract and I will hand it to you tomorrow morning. When it is released, if the box office is good, it will be a one-thousandth of your share, and I will not treat you badly."
Zhou Peng nodded in a daze, remembering that the price of domestic dubbing actors should be ridiculously low. In my memory, there are only a few thousand actors who dubbed the American blockbuster "Lord of the Rings". Although Chang Guangxi himself is the producer and director of this drama, he can give himself so many at once. Zhou Peng is puzzled.
In fact, Zhou Peng's idea is almost the same as the reality. Most of the voice actors abroad are often hundreds of thousands of dollars, but there is no such good price in China. Zhou Peng's ability to get 40,000 yuan is not a small amount. Hong Kong movie star Xie Tingfeng once dubbed an animated film, and his salary was more than 50,000 yuan. Moreover, when he couldn't pass the third level of Mandarin, most of the directors who asked these actors to dub the actors most valued the reputation of the actors themselves.
