Chapter 115: Selection

"What's going on?"

"Why don't you come?"

One after another, the voice actors declined the invitation, which made Meng Huo full of puzzlement.

"I heard a rumor......," Li Hua said, "It is said that there is news from Tianhui that if a voice actor takes over our dubbing work, they will not use that voice actor in the future." ”

Her words surprised Meng Shu, and Lin Mingzhe was instantly angry.

"It turned out to be him, this is definitely not a rumor!" He gritted his teeth and said, "I know that kid Li Tianhui is in our way. ”

Meng Shu frowned slightly.

If what Li Hua said is true, then there is basically no way for them to change it. Now everyone sees Zhongxia as the future hegemon of the manga and animation industry, and those voice actors who rely on dubbing for a diet are particularly sensitive to this trend, and it is normal for them not to accept Phoenix's invitation.

"There must be people who are willing to accept it, right?"

Meng Huo was not discouraged, Li Tianhui's words couldn't scare everyone, there must be voice actors who don't eat that.

"Only two of the more famous voice actors agreed to come and try it, and there are more than twenty or thirty who are not famous, but some people offer very high prices." Zhong Yue flipped through the list in his hand and replied, "I think they want to take advantage of the fire to rob." ”

Meng Huo's eyes flashed: "Don't ask for a high price, let other people come over to audition." ”

"In this case, there are only 13 people left, this number ......" Zhong Yue crossed out the eliminated candidates with a pen, frowned and said, "It's too few." ”

The voice actors of "Pokemon" are in great demand, and even if all 13 people are selected, there are still many loopholes.

"It's okay, let's get the trailer done first." Meng made a decision: "The number of appearances in the trailer is small, and you can choose other roles later." ”

As the de facto head of the animation department, after Lin Mingzhe agreed to the budget, no one could object to Meng Yu's words. Within two days, the voice actors were invited to Phoenix Company.

After a few hours of auditioning, Meng Yu selected 9 of these voice actors, a large proportion of the selections, but these people are all supporting roles who only need to appear once or twice, only those two well-known voice actors, one has a soft voice suitable for Miss Joy, and the other can match Dr. Ohki.

Joey and Dr. Oki have a lot of roles in "Pokemon", and Meng Shu was happy to find these two people at once, but this result did not achieve the expected effect.

The voice actor of Ash, the protagonist of "Pokemon", was not found, and neither was Pikachu, and even the production of the trailer was at an impasse.

"We are open to the public."

Meng Huo decided to make a bold attempt, but Li Hua and Zhong Yue did not agree.

"It's absolutely impossible, how can someone without professional training do a good dubbing!"

"What a pity, teacher, let's look for it from the showbiz or other places!"

"Let's try an open selection first." Meng Huo also doesn't think that the open selection can find a suitable voice actor, but the situation is not very optimistic, which is also worth trying.

And this idea was agreed by Lin Mingzhe, if the open selection is successful, the fee paid to the voice actor will be minimized, such as some elf characters, and even the dubbing can be bought out at a low price.

In addition to the characters and some special pokemon, most of the elves will only make simple calls like animals in the real world, which can be recorded in advance and used in animation.

Meng Huo understands this better, and is suitable for matching elves' voices, and can often dub several elves.

After the open selection began, in order to strengthen the force, Meng Xu asked the employees of Phoenix Company to participate in it, turning it into a big wave of action.

"Recruit voice actors."

"If you are selected, you will be paid."

He spread the news of the selection of voice actors to major colleges and universities, junior high schools and high schools, and the spread speed in these places was very fast, and none of the young people had a dream of stardom, they came to Phoenix in groups, and then found that they were going to match with strange voices.

"Pickup?"

"Jenny? Jenny! ”

"It's funny, what is this?"

The explanation given by Phoenix was the cry of some animals, some were disappointed, but many more were relieved. With animals save lines, you won't be nervous at all, if you can't be selected, you can play for free, and you can get money if you are selected, what a good thing it is.

But none of these people have been trained, and even the simplest elf dubbing, Phoenix Company has to go through several rounds of screening, close to one in a hundred.

There are also people with good voices, these people can sign a buyout contract with Phoenix Company if they record a good voice, a elf's voice can get 200, and each person can match 1 to 4 elves' voice, that is, 200 to 800 Huaxia coins.

There are more than 150 elves in the first part of "Pokemon", and 50 dubbing were successfully completed in seven days, which has basically met the early needs of the animation, and some people are rushing to hear the news, Lin Mingzhe feels so happy.

"It's so money-saving, it's so money-saving!"

He thought to himself, there is basically no problem with the dubbing of the elves. However, there was still no progress in the characters with lines, and the most critical voice actors, including Ash, were not found, and this situation continued until Saturday.

On this day, Meng Yu was resting on his desk, and Zhong Yue found him excitedly.

"What a pity, teacher, we found a person who is very suitable for dubbing Ash!" His words gave Meng Shu a sense of energy: "Quickly give me the recording." “

The first few rounds of voice actor selection were all done by the people below, and Meng Yu only had to do the final review, and he had the strictest requirements, vetoing most of the dubbing, which made Zhong Yue very nervous every time he handed over the list.

But his expression today was very confident.

"The recording hasn't been recorded yet, and the girl won't say a word." Zhong Yue smiled wryly: "She said that she just wants to make some pocket money with the voice of the animal, and she doesn't want to become a voice actor, I want you to go over and persuade her!" ”

"Is there such a person?"

Meng Huo was curious, everyone else was rushing to dub the protagonist, how could anyone still take the initiative to give up?

"Let's go over and see."

He and Zhong Yue walked towards the dubbing room, and before they got closer, from a distance, he saw the door of the dubbing room open, and Li Hua's voice was a little anxious from inside.

"Sister, don't be in a hurry to leave, our minister is coming over, can you listen to what he has to say?"

"Don't!" Another young voice complained, "I don't want to be a voice actor anymore." ”

Meng Shu frowned slightly, this voice is a little familiar.

He was about to react, but a young girl walked out of the dubbing room.

"Ahh When the girl saw Meng Huo, her eyes lit up, and she ran over quickly: "Meng Huo, why are you here!" ”

Shen Jie - Why is this guy here?

Meng Huo opened his mouth to ask, so if he would die, Li Hua also walked out, and when she saw him, her face showed joy.

"Team leader, you're here!"

The team leader is Meng Huo's external identity, and he is the manager of the animation department of Phoenix Company.
