"Oi Duan, how's it going?"
In the exterior room, Prince Zhang Xiao and Duan Long sat across from each other. The two were collaborating on "Soldier's Sortie,""My Chief and My Regiment," and other television shows in the mainland.
Duan Long was definitely an explosive type actor. He was versatile and had been nominated for the Golden Horse acting award. He also became known as an International Emperor of Acting, winning the Shanghai International Film Festival, Tokyo International Film Festival and other various international film awards. He could play both good and bad roles, and his voice was manly beyond compare. He was charming, and his attendance made them one of the most favored duos to win the champions.h.i.+p for the annual show this year.
Prince Zhang had asked Duan Long this question since Duan Long had acted in "The Message," though he never appeared in this specific scene.
"This is definitely some bada.s.s acting." Duan Long gave a thumbs up. "Most people wouldn't be able to do this. It's not as easy as switching between a male and female voice. Each voice has its own unique characteristic, and the voices are very theatrical as well. To be honest, Meng Fan's dubbing of this is even better than the original. And it's full of emotion, too. Seeing how young he is, I almost feel like he's an ancient beast."
"I don't know where Bai Zhi found him since you can't even find such a good talent among professional voice actors. And he's really young, too. I guess we can't underestimate the heroes of our world." Prince Zhang had spoken his last sentence with an accented tone.
Beside him, Captain Li threw his head back and began to laugh. "I've heard this kid has even imitated my artful commercials. I have to go charge him for the commercial fee hehe."
Yu Xiaoer smiled. "Mr. Li, do you watch 8th Station streams?"
Captain Li smiled. "It's not a matter of watching it or not, ah. There's so many terrible streams, one can't do anything about. But hey, he's pretty entertaining."
In the exterior room, the contestants and their guests joked around amid their surprise, eagerly antic.i.p.ating his next performance.
At this time, Meng Fan had already drank all the iced cola he had left over. He let out a large burp. It wasn't because he felt congested this time but to get in the mood.
Burping was a way to open one's throat, except Meng Fan's burp was special.
He paced back and forth a few times and found the state he wanted to be in. He then dragged a chair behind him, signaling the staff member to begin playback.
The duration of the clip Meng Fan was dubbing for "Da Zhai Men" was a long one, much longer than the clip for "The Message." Once it aired, they would definitely have to cut out a few segments. Meng Fan wanted to ask which parts would be cut so he could accommodate, but Professor Di and Director Xu had a.s.sured Meng Fan to perform normally. They will decide what's cut when the time comes.
The "Da Zhai Men" dub was the last episode, and he would mostly be impersonating Uncle Three's inaugural speech of Bai Yingyu as he became the president of the pharmaceutical bank and end his life after swallowing some tobacco cream.
This clip had two outstanding parts. One of them was naturally the 'won't be a treasonous slave to the nation' by Bai Yingyu, while the other being the dialogue between Bai Jingqi, played by Chen Baoguo, and Eighth Uncle Yu, played by Li Xuejian.
"Everyone shut up! It's been several years, and the group's been headless…"
The scene began with w.a.n.g Xigang, played by Mr. Lei Gesheng. As a traitor, he was also the chairman presiding over this inauguration ceremony.
Mr. Lei Gesheng's voice was very unique. Once Meng Fan opened his mouth, he had stunned the entire audience. Everyone was awaiting his next phrase.
Once he was done with the opening phrase, Meng Fan reclined in his chair and found the proper att.i.tude of Uncle Three. "Don't dare speak. Sorry, everyone. I am old, so I must speak sitting down. Heh, and I can't leave alcohol either. I'm abusing my age, aren't I."
This added phrase was enough to set the foundation for the character's unique attributes.
"You're right! You're abusing your age and even managed to become a traitor out of it!"
At this time, the scene changed. Meng Fan faced towards the guest star, Li Xuejian, and stood up once again. Once his voice was heard, the guest star was once again shocked. Meng Fan's impersonation sounded exactly like Li Xuejian, with a humorous yet scolding tone. He accurately expressed Uncle Yu's characteristics.
"Uncle Yu, do your hips not hurt from talking so big? That's easier said than done."
"Heh? You could tell? My hips don't hurt! At least, not enough to bow down to the j.a.panese!"
Following this was Mr Li Xuejian and Chen Baoguo's dispute. The skills that these two masters showed during this dialogue segment could only be described as peak acting.
Especially Mr. Li Xuejian, who was also a guest on the show. The actor really brought out each phrases, expressions, and emotions to the extreme. Even his glances were in character, and every frown and expression were textbook performance. With a quiver of his lip, he could make people gasp in shock. His energy was paramount and very emotional!
Based on trending terms now, he would be called explosive!
Meng Fan had immersed his entire person into acting this segment as well.
His voice acting before had relied on his tone and emotion alone. But to be honest, facial expressions were also very important, and once Meng Fan was in the mood, his actions became synchronized as well.
He had no choice. Mr. Li Xuejian was too good an actor, Meng Fan had to mobilize his entire a.r.s.enal of skills to match him. Otherwise, he wouldn't achieve the same result.
Once this phrase ended, the audience was dumbfounded!
It was spectacular!
Most people just had to portray the roles well if they were taking on two or more roles in one sitting. Like Meng Fan's clip, they had to be fast at transitioning, and make sure the roles don't clash. However, this scene was a person's inner monologue against himself and the kind that could provoke a fight immediately!
"Are you crazy!"
Some of the audience began to cheer. This phrase used anywhere else would be quite offensive, but this time, the cheers had been encouraging.
"Guys, when you see me, my heart was screaming, heh. This old traitor! How can I not be shameful at such an old age…"
After this improvisation ended, Meng Fan began Uncle Three's scene. His voice continued to follow the character of the role.
"Humans. Once they're wealthy, they think they can do whatever they want… But there's one thing they can't do. They can't be a traitor!"
At this point, the BGM started to play, igniting the scene. The speech began. "….The third rule. I would rather suffer a thousand cuts by a sword than be a mindless traitor to the nation!"
When he got to the part that he wasn't chewing donkey meat but opium instead, the tears began to fall.
"Opium and then wine, your life will be gone in an instant. I'm old and have already enjoyed enough happiness and started enough revolts. I have no regrets dying!"
"Look at the blackhole in front of you. It must be the thief's lair. I can't help but rush forward and give him a clean death…"
The last word didn't finis.h.!.+
"Uncle Three, a good name will be pa.s.sed down forever!"
During Mr. Li Jianxue's final outcry, the scene paused when the people knelt to the ground. That was the end of Meng Fan's scene.
Meng Fan was also emotional, sprawled on the ground with tears in his eyes. He lowered his head as tears began to fall.
Once he sat, he had to buffer for a long time before standing up.
He had been deprived of all energy!
The audience also took a while to snap back to reality. The host on the stage, Uncle Kai, took a deep breath before wiping away his tears. He looked toward the audience to see a sea of tears, including Professor Di.
Zhang Guos.h.i.+ didn't cry, but his eyes were sparkling.
"Bada.s.s!"
"He's done it!"
"This is much more difficult than the last clip he did!"
"How capable is he!"
"It's a good match!"
All the celebrities in the exterior room had given him a standing ovation. Looking at each other, they continuously praised him as their eyes glistened with tears. Several were already crying.
From the second floor, you could hear Bai Zhi's voice. "Can't you get up? I can't lift you!"
"Sister Bai, I really can't get up."
Meng Fan really wanted to cry now. He had sat down a bit too fiercely that his pants tore open.
He looked at Bai Zhi resentfully. He'd already said he wasn't suitable for formal wear. He needed some sweatpants or an elastic waist at least. But no, she wanted the 'form'. But now, it's a 'form'-al trainwreck. He felt like he was being punished!
