Hayato Minakami is an old social butterfly. When Sakura Ayane first met and had a good impression of him, he coaxed her into becoming his "voice actor teacher" with his sweet talk.
Dubbing is a very professional job. There are many actors who are very good at acting, but they always have problems with reading. Especially for animation dubbing, it not only needs to be full of emotion, but also needs the voice to match the character's image. , quite difficult.
Mizuna Hayato is quite confident in his dialogue skills, but facing his first animation dubbing, it is inevitable that he still needs to get used to it.
In fact, if the actor's dialogue skills were as strong as Mr. Jin Shijie's, then maybe there would be no need to prepare so much. Unfortunately, Hayato Minato is not, so Sakura Ayane, a "senior" in the voice acting world, would need more help.
The reason why Sakura Ayane was asked for help instead of other more experienced voice actors in the group was definitely not because of her beautiful face, nor because of her undulating mountains, but because the two of them had the most scenes opposite each other.
The original work "Forest of Fireflies" is a short story, and the animated theatrical version only lasts about 45 minutes. Most of the scenes are scenes between the male and female protagonists.
In the story, the male protagonist is a monster living in the forest, and the heroine met him when he strayed into the forest when he was 6 years old. The two have been getting along and met every summer until the heroine turned 16, and the animation The scenes also focus on the time the two spend together, and the remaining supporting characters have very little time.
Therefore, it is the best choice to find Sakura Ayane to learn about dubbing-related knowledge, and at the same time, they can play together and cultivate relationships.
"Sakura-sensei, generally speaking, how do you lip-sync when dubbing for animation? Do you look at the picture? But there is no picture in the recording studio." After getting along for a period of time, Minakami Hayato's name for Sakura Ayane has changed. From "Miss Sakura" to "Teacher Sakura".
Sakura Ayane was very uncomfortable with this title at first, and she is also very uncomfortable now, but Minakami Hayato refused to change no matter how hard he asked, so he had to force himself to get used to it.
"Well, generally when dubbing animations, the pictures haven't been completely finished, and are just sketches. At that time, it's easier to dub them. Pay attention to the characters marked on them and the duration of their speeches." Sakura Ayane thought for a while and said, "If the pictures It has been completed, then we need to combine the tone of this sentence and the picture."
"Oh!" Hayato Minazin suddenly realized, no wonder he watched so many animations. Some characters' mouth shapes are exactly the same as the dubbing. It would be easier to understand if the dubbing was done first and then the mouth shape was drawn. As for the picture first, take foreign animations such as Disney as an example. If so, the length of the lines will be adjusted taking into account the mouth shape when translating the lines.
There was even a "special edition" animated movie of Hayato Minato's previous life, which was a foreign animated movie with Chinese dubbing and re-created character mouth shapes.
"Okay, I understand, then Sakura-sensei, please perform that one again, that's it." Hayato Minazin said.
"I want it again..." Sakura Ayane looked embarrassed, unable to tell whether she was shy or refusing.
"The teacher will give you a reference answer so that students can learn from it." Hayato Minakami said matter-of-factly.
"Okay, then..." Sakura Ayane took a deep breath: "My name is Hotaru, and I am six years old!"
Hearing Sakura-sensei's lolita voice again, Minato Hayato clapped his hands.
"Yeah, yeah!"
I have long heard that "voice actors are all monsters". Hayato Minakami was very curious about the voice actors' various voice expression techniques, and asked Sakura Ayane to speak a lot of words in various voice lines.
That would be Hayato Minakami. If someone else comes, Sakura Ayane might turn around and leave.
But since she is Minato Hayato, although Sakura Ayane feels ashamed to perform so many times, she feels a sense of accomplishment when she sees him applauding and praising him so humbly every time.
As a new voice actress who has only officially debuted for more than a year, Sakura Ayane is not particularly confident in herself. In terms of dubbing performance, many seniors also say that she still needs to continue practicing. This is due to the gap in experience.
This theatrical animation is her second starring voice role after "Dream Eater Mary". Before joining, she was worried that her performance was not good enough.
But today I met the famous Mizuna Hayato, and he was really handsome. She was as dizzy as if she had been hit on the head with a sledgehammer, but she recovered after that. In the end, he kept saying "Sakura-sensei", He praised her performance so much that she felt so happy that she felt dazed.
Psychologically speaking, listening to compliments more often, even if you praise yourself in front of the mirror, will increase your self-confidence and effectively improve your performance.
It's effective in front of the mirror, not to mention the mindless flattery from Dashuai.
Suddenly Sakura Ayane had the illusion that in this dubbing, she would be able to give full play to her own strength and perfectly match the heroine.
...
On the other side, after listening to the loli Otosakura teacher many times, Minato Hayato remembered that he had brought two real lolita today. He looked at the time and saw that it was almost time.
"It's almost dinner time. I'm going to meet Mr. Midorikawa from the original work later. Mr. Sakura, do you want to go with me?" Hayato Minakami mentioned casually.
"Ah?" The dazed Sakura Ayane came back to her senses for a moment. She finally heard a few vague words like "dinner" and "let's go together", and her heart was shocked.
Oh my God, is he inviting me to dinner?
"Huh?" Mizuna Hayato replied in confusion.
"Yes, yes!" She said quickly.
After all, she is a newcomer who has just debuted and is not stable enough. She just wants to meet the manga author. Does she also like to read shojo manga?
Mizuna Hayato was a little confused, but didn't show it, smiling and nodding.
He took Sakura Ayane to meet the two lolita he brought, and also got to know Hashimoto Nanami. The group of people came to the prepared conference room, where the original author Midorikawa Yuki was already sitting. Waited.
"Teacher Midorikawa, nice to meet you." Hayato Minakami shook hands with her warmly.
"Wow, you are indeed Minakami-kun. You are so handsome. Please help me sign your photo album!" Midorikawa Yuki was prepared and took out a photo album of Minakami Hayato and a marker pen.
Hayato Minakami raised his eyebrows, "Female cartoonist, look at this performance, it's easier to talk." He took the pen with a smile, sat down, signed his name inside, and wrote "To Mr. Midorikawa" words.
As the saying goes, what comes around is not unprepared for Mizuna Hayato.
"Hashimoto"
Before Nana Hashimoto heard her name called, she took out several comics from her bag, including the short story collection "Forest of Fireflies".
"I also want Mr. Midorikawa's autograph. I have more than one copy~" he smiled.
"Wow, these, these are first editions, right? There is also one signed."
"Of course, I'm an old fan."
Hearing Minakami Hayato's shameless remarks, Hashimoto Nana turned around and rolled her eyes.
"These are obviously the eldest lady's collection."
