Last night, Langley called Seth Logan to ask about his experience.
As a highly recognized comedian in the industry, Seth has rich experience in dubbing, such as "fighting aliens", "Shrek the monster", "the adventures of Horton", "The Simpsons", "the house of mischief", "the underworld authority" and so on. He knows how to use his voice to create the desired effect, At the same time, we also know the difference between live action movies and animated works. There is no doubt that he is the most suitable one to give advice among all his friends.
Seth was very happy to help, and he joked seriously, "I never knew that I could have the opportunity to help Langley with his acting problems. Don't worry, I'll never miss such a good opportunity. I'm already thinking about how to show it to James Franco and Jonah hill. "
But Langley strongly suspected that Seth was playing a trick on him.
"Exaggerate as much as possible", "show the child's texture", "tone can be naive and stupid, let yourself become stupid"... What are these suggestions? It always sounds strange; However, between the words, Seth seriously shared some details, such as "don't pronounce too much correctly as possible", "exaggerate your mood obviously", "relax your expression as much as possible, and try to imitate the expression of animated characters"... These suggestions are very reasonable, which complement the style of animated films, and seem to be sincere suggestions.
As for Seth's suggestion, Langley said, "are you sure it's not such a rare opportunity for mischief? So you won't miss it easily? "
"Wrong! Hey, Langley, although I'm a comedian, I'm joking every day, and I'm joking now, but you can't arbitrarily distort my professional knowledge. You know, I'm very, very serious! " Seth's tone was very serious, but the more serious it was, the more suspicious it was.
"Did your friend do it on purpose?" Williams gave the answer.
Lan Li also laughed happily.
Williams went on, "it doesn't matter. Let's just try and see. You'll see that things are not as difficult as you think. You'll find the feeling soon."
"Hey, Chris, aren't you going to introduce it?" Seeing that Williams is about to escort lanli into the recording room, there are many links in the middle. Don hall, who has been standing since Williams and lanli entered the room, finally can't bear it any longer and takes the initiative to interrupt.
Williams made an invitation, stopped for a moment, and then responded, "Oh, my God! God! I totally forgot about it. We all know you, but you don't know all of us. I just take it for granted that you are a member of our crew. As you know, we have been in the animation world for nearly a year, and we are all old friends. "
It is estimated that most people can't understand such a strange expression, but lanli understood it and showed a smile.
"You are Chris Williams; Then you should be don hall Lanli still kept his politeness and said, "nice to meet you. I'm lanli hall, Xiao Hong's projection in the real world. I think we should be old friends."
Don hall, another director of the super Marine Corps, and Chris Williams have been friends and partners for more than 15 years. He worked with Williams to write the scripts of "King" and "Legend of the bear", and later directed "Winnie the Pooh", which is his second time as a director.
The way of lanli's self introduction made Williams clap like a seal, expressing his joy all over his body. He turned to his partner, raised his chin triumphantly and said.
"Look, you used to think that Lan Li was not easy to get along with. Now that you've met each other, do you know that the rumors from the outside world are not credible? I said, those people must be jealous of Langley. I think that lanli is even more unflattering than I thought. If I have achieved the same results as lanli, I should show off. "
This... I don't know whether it's a derogation or a compliment, but it's not funny.
Don hall, standing in front of him, looks a little embarrassed - because Williams has exposed all the "bad words" behind him. Now in front of the client, he can't help scratching his head. "Sorry, he's such a character. If he has any ideas in his head, he can say them straight away."
"Did I say something wrong? That's the truth Without waiting for lanli to cut in, Williams said with a natural look on his face, and then turned to lanli, "someone joked that you joined this work because of his relationship. His family name has a very close relationship with your family. They were only joking, but he took it seriously. Then he explained it solemnly and emphasized that these words should not be spoken casually. I think he's too serious. "
Don hall.
Langley hall.
The names of two as like as two peas are identical.
In the western system of surname and name culture, surname is more meaningful. Many surnames are inherited by families. What those hereditary nobles inherit is the glory and light from surnames. "Hall" has a long history in the British Isles, and it is also the most proud part of George hall.
However, with the European continent entering into the North American continent, many despondent nobles or nobles came to this new continent to explore the new world, and many surnames gradually became popular; At the same time, they also lost the so-called historical inheritance and family glory, and created a new history here.
Therefore, although it is hall, there should be no connection between the two sides. As Williams said, those jokes are just jokes. Who let the light of blue li really flourish?
William's frankness and frankness made lanli smile slightly. Now he finally understands: why, with Williams's talent and ability, he has never been able to become the leader of a department or even be promoted. He is still only a part of the whole huge team.
However, as far as Langley is concerned, he doesn't mind Williams' character, and he doesn't feel offended. "Who knows, maybe we are distant relatives, but we don't know for the moment. I remember that there is a new genetic test that can find distant family members that I can't even imagine. "
Don hall was worried and ready to open his mouth to explain. Unexpectedly, lanli's answer opened up the situation in a unique way, and the atmosphere immediately became relaxed. He was slightly stunned, and then showed a smile, as if he was laughing at himself for thinking too much——
There's no way. Now lanli is famous. Even in Hollywood, they always mention this name; And just like ordinary people, lanli is also a very distant and superior actor for them. More or less mysterious.
Sure enough, Hollywood's first rule is: rumors are never true, only entertaining.
"Don hall." He directly ignored Williams's ridicule, stretched out his right hand to blue Li and introduced himself.
Lan Li held each other's right hand. "Nice to meet you. It's my honor to be a part of this work." He politely expressed his politeness. In the face of Williams and don hall, Lanley's different gestures can be seen in his reception. "Should we start to look at the script first to let me understand the role and the context of the story?"
Although the last life watched the "super Marine Corps" this work, and blue Li also quite like; But the lines and stories have been almost forgotten, now in order to dub, still need to start from scratch.
Today's original plan is script reading! Not dubbing! So, Langley just got off the plane, didn't go home, but came here directly: he thought he just relaxed to read the script, didn't need too much physical strength and energy. But now, it seems that things are a little off track.
Williams said, "don't worry, don't worry! Just relax and follow the feeling. It's OK. You don't need to prepare too much
This time, don hall agreed, "you can find the feeling first, and read the script slowly. Our work is different from that of the crew. We try to relax as much as possible, just like in our own home. We can find the happiest memories of our childhood and then put ourselves into the role. "
"Some people in dubbing, like to wear pajamas, barefoot, showing a relaxed state before going to bed. There is no problem. We need the actors to relax Williams added, "I heard that when Seth logan was dubbing Shrek's donkey, he made a simulated landing on all fours. He was imitating the donkey's movements all the way. It was really lifelike."
Lan Li opened his mouth slightly, and he couldn't help laughing first. "What can I do? I'm a little sorry now?" Don hall and Williams were stunned by this mindless remark, and Langley continued, "if I say, from small to large, my present state is the most relaxed, do you believe it?"
The rules of the hereditary aristocracy are far more terrible than they think——
Listening to lanli's words, Williams made up his mind for a while. Lanli imitated the donkey's appearance on all fours. He blinked his eyes, and then laughed directly. "You'd better follow your own habits and ignore us. Our suggestions are just assistance. You can do it according to your own rhythm and style, we can all accept it, no problem! "
Lan Li chuckled and said, "let's have a try. One thing I'm sure is that it's not so easy to be a good actor. We should take all the challenges. Maybe next time I can try to play a donkey
