Entertaining Children

When everyone stared at Xiao Yao, the door to the second floor was pushed open again.

"Someone is here again." When everyone heard the movement, they couldn't care less about evaluating Xiao Yao, and turned their attention to the second floor.

A moment later, an actress walked down the stairs holding on to the banister. The third guest who came in was He Ying, the champion of the seventh round.

After He Ying walked down the stairs, the two "masters", Zeng Guoqiang and Zhou Xiao, stepped forward to greet her first. Xiao Yaoben stood up and ran to the camera. After seeing He Ying, he didn't return to his seat, but stood aside and waited.

After Zeng Guoqiang and Zhou Xiao finished greeting He Ying, Xiao Yao also stepped forward to shake hands with He Ying and say hello. When He Ying saw Xiao Yao, she couldn't help boasting a few words.

Zhu Jinyang was originally sitting, but saw that He Ying didn't get up immediately, but waited for He Ying to finish greeting the three before getting up and shaking hands with He Ying to say hello, and then sat back.

"He Ying, sit down first." After everyone exchanged greetings, Zeng Guoqiang pointed to some chairs and beckoned He Ying to sit down.

"Sister He Ying, I'll sit here with you." After He Ying took her seat, Xiao Yao also sat on the chair, but instead of going back to the chair next to Zhu Jinyang, he sat next to He Ying.

"Okay, you can sit wherever you want." He Ying nodded with a nonchalant smile.

"Hey, Xiao Yao, why did you run away?" Zhu Jinyang yelled seeing Xiao Yao sitting next to He Ying.

"Of course the young guy likes to hang out with pretty girls, who is playing with a bad old man like you?" Zeng Guoqiang complained to his old friend with a look of disgust.

"Oh, our old man is despised." Zhu Jinyang sighed deliberately.

"No," Xiao Yao smiled and waved his hands, "The main reason is that the emperor's aura is too strong, sitting next to him is too stressful, and I feel nervous."

"Am I so scary?" Zhu Jinyang put on an emperor's expression again, but there was already a smile in his eyes.

When Zhu Jinyang said this, the scene laughed again.

"Xiao Yao, why didn't I see you show courteousness to the girl and bring her food and drink?" Zeng Guoqiang asked Xiao Yao again when he saw that Xiao Yao was just sitting next to He Ying without any movement.

"Girls need to keep fit," Xiao Yao said, "Sister He Ying doesn't even eat lunch, these snacks are sweets, and Sister He Ying definitely won't eat them now."

"I do not eat lunch,

I seldom eat snacks, but it's not for keeping fit, but for living habits. "He Ying laughed.

"Don't eat lunch?" Zeng Guoqiang was taken aback, then smiled and said to Xiao Yao, "It seems that you know He Ying quite well."

"I've watched a reality show by Sister He Ying, and she said it herself in the show." Xiao Yao smiled, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you can win a hundred battles. I have done my homework."

"Do your homework?" Zhou Xiao smiled, "Then Xiao Yao, do you know that Mr. He Ying's contestants in that episode also included your mother Ye Jiaying, and Mrs. He Ying won the single-episode championship won by Mrs. Ye Jiaying. Now this position , it might have been your mother, Teacher Ye Jiaying, sitting there."

"Hey, you are making trouble here!" Zeng Guoqiang looked at Zhou Xiao and said.

"I know," Xiao Yao nodded with a smile, "When they were recording that episode, I was also there and watched the whole thing."

"What? You were there at that time?" He Ying asked in surprise.

"Yeah, I secretly hid in the auditorium to watch." Xiao Yao laughed.

"Although my mother is the best in my eyes, people's performance always has ups and downs, and there is no guarantee that they will perform at their best every time. I think sister He Ying's performance in that episode was indeed very good." Xiao Yao He continued, "And I think the result is quite good. I have already fought with my dad once, and I don't want to fight with my mom again."

"You can really talk." Zeng Guoqiang shook his head and smiled.

"Someone is here again." There was a sound of opening the door on the second floor, and everyone looked in the direction of the stairs again.

This time, Gao Chengguang, the only non-professional among the eight finalists, came in. Gao Chengguang is not a professional film and television actor or voice actor, but a very famous professional cross talk actor. After the fire in the past few years, he has also participated in the performance of some film and television dramas, so he is not a complete layman. Crosstalk actors have profound skills in language. For others, Gao Chengguang is also an opponent that should not be underestimated.

Gao Chengguang, a crosstalk actor, is a master of on-the-spot smashing. The jokes are easy to come by, and the language is humorous. After he came, there was no shortage of topics and laughter in the whole hall.

In addition to helping A Zi write and record songs for more than a year, Xiao Yao also learned a lot of cross talk knowledge and skills from her, but he never showed it. Meeting Gao Chengguang, a cross talk master this time, Xiao Yao unconsciously wanted to try it out.

Gao Chengguang was talking about being funny, although the people in the hall were not talking about cross talk, but Xiao Yao picked up the baggage in Gao Chengguang's words several times just right, and it was quite the demeanor of some cross talk actors, which also made Gao Chengguang look at Xiao Yao's eyes There was a gleam of splendor in it.

Although the competition hadn't started yet, the recording was already in progress, and the interval between the arrival of the guests was not too long. Not long after, the other four guests also arrived one after another, and all eight finalists gathered in the hall.

The eight guests are all powerful people, the oldest is Zhu Jinyang, the youngest is Xiao Yao, and the other six are all between 30 and 50 years old. The eight guests are six men and two women. In addition to He Ying, there is another female guest named Ding Ping, who is in her forties.

The first TV series that He Ying starred in was to cooperate with Ding Ping. The two knew each other privately and had a good relationship. After Ding Ping arrived, He Ying enthusiastically went up to hold her hand. When Xiao Yao saw it, he changed his seat in a sensible way, sat with a male guest named Xu Hongguang, and gave up the seat next to He Ying to Ding Ping.

"We're all here, and the competition hasn't started yet, so I want to take this time to have a brief chat with everyone." Zeng Guoqiang raised his hands and said, "Who do you think is most likely to win this time?"

"The teacher said just now that I was provoking trouble, and you are also provoking trouble." Zhou Xiao smiled from the side.

"There are many masters here today. I think it's enough to try not to lose face as much as possible." Zhu Jinyang responded first.

"He Ying, what about you?" Zeng Guoqiang looked at He Ying and said, "Do you think you can win the championship?"

"Ah? I can't take it." He Ying, who was called, covered her mouth and smiled, then waved her finger and said to everyone present, "Everyone here is too strong, I feel too much pressure, as long as I can perform well. "

"What about you, let's talk about it." Zeng Guoqiang asked the other guests.

"I didn't want to win the championship, I want to go back now!" Ding Ping smiled and waved her hand.

"It should be that everyone wants to win the championship, who doesn't want to win the championship?" A guest named Liu Qiaosong told the truth.

"If I win the championship, the audience will have to say that this show is shady," Gao Chengguang said, "Such a show with zero negative reviews can't destroy my hand?"

"It must be said that there is a shady scene!" Xiao Yao smiled and nodded.

"Hey little guy, how dare you say it!" Everyone else turned to look at Xiao Yao in surprise.

"But it doesn't matter," Xiao Yao continued, "Sitting here now, I am the biggest shady in the eyes of the audience. The zero negative reviews of this show have ruined my hands, so you can rest assured and boldly rush for the championship!"

"Hehe" everyone turned surprise into joy and laughed.

"You are more than a shady? You are a ug!" Zhou Xiao laughed, "You will be accused of being a shady in any program."

"Yes, Xiao Yao is a ug!" The others laughed and echoed.

Seeing everyone talking about Xiao Yao, Zeng Guoqiang took advantage of the opportunity to bring the topic to Xiao Yao, and asked Xiao Yao: "Xiao Yao, you are the youngest in this final, and you are not one or two years younger than them , at least ten years behind, right? You said if you won the championship, where should they put their faces?"

"Audiences all over the country are watching," Xu Hongguang next to Xiao Yao pointed to the live camera, and said with a smile, "Who knows who is more difficult to be a human being!"

"Actually, I came to this show this time. One is to study, and the other is for the teachers." Xiao Yao said with a smile, "I invested in an animation film, and I will definitely be looking for a voice actor when the time comes. I'm afraid I People are soft-spoken, and I can't invite voice actors from big names, so I came here to get acquainted with everyone, and it will be easier to speak up when I hire someone."

What Xiao Yao said was not all lies. As early as two years ago, Xiao Yao and Tong Luo's special effects company began to cooperate on the project of the animated film "Wall-E". After almost two years of production, the film's video production is almost complete.

In the production process of this animated film, Xiao Yao referred to many professional animation studios.

The production process of a general professional animation studio is to first have a storyline, then polish the script, and then make a storyboard. Next, the director plays the story frame by frame according to the lines of the script to estimate the time, and asks the voice actors to complete all the lines in the recording studio according to the storyboard. The dubbing, and then the next step is to complete a series of steps such as character image, modeling, and rendering.

Xiao Yao himself is the director of this animated film. He refers to these production processes, but does not follow them completely. First of all, he took out the script directly, and then made the storyboard by himself. Secondly, in the early stage of animation production, Xiao Yao did not hire professional voice actors to complete the dubbing of all lines according to the storyboard.

The protagonist of this animated film is a robot, and there are no human characters in nearly half of the front pages. The robot has no mouth, so there is no problem with lip-syncing. Although there are human characters appearing later, the overall proportion is not large, and the number of speaking human characters and the appearance time are not long.

Animated film is a very expensive project. Xiao Yao and Tong Luo have continued to invest in this animated film, and they did not spend a large sum of money all at once. In the early stage of film production, funds were relatively tight. Since there are not many places that need lip-syncing in animated films, Xiao Yao simply did not spend money to hire professional voice actors, and completed all the initial dubbing work by himself.

This kind of dubbing work is to provide a time baseline for subsequent productions, and only cares about time and rhythm, which can only be regarded as rough matching. Xiao Yao completes these dubbings with the same voice. And when the movie is released, it must not be the case that all the characters have the same voice, so after the video part is completed, another professional voice actor is invited to complete the final fine-tuning for this animated film.

At present, the image production of this animated film is almost completed, and the matter of finding a professional voice actor is indeed something to start thinking about. Although Tong Luo is the teacher of Shenxi, he is still not as good as Xiao Yao in terms of resources in the entertainment industry, and Xiao Yao is not only the arranger of this animated film, but also the title of director, so this matter is also a matter of communication. It was up to Xiao Yao to consider and decide.

However, investors also have the right to decide the candidates for voice actors. Xiao Yao was talking about investment, and the people at the scene thought that Xiao Yao was just investing money, and did not think about directors and screenwriters. But even so, the people in the hall were surprised.

"You also invested in animated films? Making animated films is very expensive!" He Ying couldn't help turning her head to look at Xiao Yao and said.

"It's a waste of money!" Xiao Yao nodded, "That project started at the beginning of the year before last, and I've been working on it for two years. Basically all my income for the past two years has been thrown into this animation movie."

"Throwing in two years' income? You are courageous!" Zeng Guoqiang praised.

"Actually, I'm the same as Sister Ding Ping. I want to go home when I see you teachers." Xiao Yao spread his hands with a smile, "But the announcement fee for the program group has not yet been paid, so I dare not leave!"

"It's so pitiful!" He Ying laughed, "When does your animated movie need dubbing? I have also dubbed cartoons and animated movies before. If my time is worthy, you can watch it again. If you can get me, I will dub for you for free."

"Sister He Ying, you haven't even seen what that animated movie looks like, so you agreed to dub it?" Xiao Yao laughed.

"It's okay, I have confidence in your vision." He Ying smiled.

"Thank you!" Xiao Yao clasped his hands together as a token of thanks.

"Xiao Yao, co-author, you came to our show to find free voice actors, right?" Zeng Guoqiang laughed.

"Didn't Mr. Lin Yajun come to the show to look for actors in the third episode? Why can't I find a voice actor by the way?" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "But I came to look for a voice actor, not a free voiceover Actor. I am not that poor, I will still pay what I should pay!"

"Whether you pay or not, let's talk about it. I'm really interested in your animation movie." He Ying smiled, "When you need a voice actor, remember to ask me."

"Okay!" Xiao Yao said, "Let's leave a contact information or add a friend or something after the recording is finished."

"No problem!" He Ying said with an OK gesture.

"Xiao Yao, are you really here to find an actor?" Zeng Guoqiang shook his head and said.

"I think it's pretty good." Zhu Jinyang said, "Xiao Yao, if there is a suitable role, count me in!"

"Thank you, Teacher Zhu, but I'm sorry, there is no character in the movie that suits your voice." Xiao Yao smiled and shook his head.

"I... okay, then I guess there is no suitable role for me." Zeng Guoqiang, who had opened his mouth behind Zhu Jinyang, changed his mouth and shook his head helplessly, "I won't open my mouth."

"Hehe..." Zeng Guoqiang's performance amused everyone in the hall again.

"Okay," Zeng Guoqiang checked that the time was almost up, pulled back the rhythm of the scene, and entered the topic, "Let's talk here first, and now I will introduce today's competition rules..."

The rules of the game are well known to everyone. The whole game is still divided into three rounds, with two halves. In the first half, the guests entered the dubbing room in pairs. The first round was the classic voice. The final guests completed a dubbing performance in the dubbing room. Collaborate on stage to complete a dubbing performance. The third round of the second half is a stage play by eight guests, which is the final annual sound show.

"In the first half of the game, the guests competed in groups of two, so now I will divide you into groups." After introducing the rules, Zeng Guoqiang looked at the eight guests and said.

"Are you going to share?" Xiao Yao asked Zeng Guoqiang.

"Yes," Zeng Guoqiang replied, and then asked with a smile, "What? Am I not qualified to group you?"

"No, qualified! Very qualified!" Xiao Yao gave a thumbs up and said, "I think it is very correct for the program group to ask you to group us!"

In terms of age, Zeng Guoqiang is the oldest among all the people here. In terms of identity, in addition to being a senior actor and veteran actor, he is also a very senior host, screenwriter, director, and producer. On the whole, he is definitely the highest status in the circle among this group of people.

"The little guy can really talk." Zeng Guoqiang smiled, "Don't worry, I didn't separate you from the emperor."

After laughing, Zeng Guoqiang straightened his face and looked at the card in his hand to announce the grouping situation: "Xu Hongguang and Xiao Yao are in a group, Liu Qiaosong and Zhou Wenjian are in a group, Ding Ping and He Ying are in a group, Zhu Jinyang and Gao Chengguang are in a group."

"The first group is Xiao Yao and Teacher Xu Hongguang." After Zeng Guoqiang announced the grouping, Zhou Xiao then introduced the order of appearance.

"Okay, then let's young people come first!" Xu Hongguang and Xiao Yao stood up with their arms around their shoulders.

Xu Hongguang is thirty-four years old and is the second youngest among the eight finalists. Together with the youngest Xiao Yao, they are the youngest of the two.
