The new drama casting is used to being together, so let’s play a part of being apart…
Chatting, the two walked to the side of the road.
There are many office buildings in the Innovation and Technology Industrial Park. The hardest time to get a taxi is 6pm and 9pm.
Wen Zichuan wanted to take the subway, but since Pinot was a girl, he had to see her get a taxi before he could leave with peace of mind.
"Teacher Wen," it was Pinot who started the conversation this time. "I remember last time you thought the tragic ending of 'Song of the Snowy Road' was too cruel. What do you think of this one?"
"'Little Chongshan' has a happy ending, which the audience should like, right? However, the mutual suspicion between the two protagonists is still quite heartbreaking."
"As for love stories, it's not good if they go smoothly."
"Every time their relationship gets better, something happens to separate them," Wen Zichuan said, changing his tone to a joking one. "If you don't know, you might think the author and screenwriter are deliberately messing around."
"That just proves they're truly in love!" Pinault's eyes lit up. "We have a little trick when writing. When the relationship between the protagonists isn't clear enough, and we can't write about their relationship breaking through, we might as well write about their separation."
"Write a separate paragraph?"
"Yes, when two people are together for a long time, they get used to each other. Breaking up is to break that 'habit' and write about a deeper connection. Because when two people truly love each other, they can't live without each other."
Those who truly love each other cannot live without each other.
After sending Pinot to the online taxi, Wen Zichuan looked at the time and it was almost ten o'clock.
He didn't go home on time today, but he didn't receive any calls or messages.
Wen Zichuan walked aimlessly along the sidewalk. The overpass not far away was brightly lit, one after another stretching into the distance.
Finally, the phone rang. It was him calling.
"Hello."
"Are you done with work? I'll wait for you to come home for dinner."
Wen Zichuan was still thinking about what Pinot said, so he made up a random sentence: "I'm not going home today. I'm eating out with my colleagues who are working overtime."
Cheng Sizhou's voice rose an octave: "Huh? You're out there enjoying the best food, and I'm the only one left at home, eating a steamed bun with not a drop of oil in my food."
"It's boring to stay at home all the time, come out and relax. You should eat and sleep, don't worry about me."
After he finished speaking, the other party suddenly fell silent for a moment, then changed his tone to a servile one: "Where are you planning to eat? Have you reserved a table? Do you need any recommendations?"
"No need, we also have a local colleague who is far away."
"Really?" Cheng Sizhou felt a little sad. He quickly recalled what happened in the past two days, wondering if he had done something wrong or said something wrong that made him angry again.
There was silence in the receiver for a few seconds, no one spoke, as if they were waiting for the other to hang up first.
Wen Zichuan thought that they really needed to "separate" for a while. Only when they separated could they figure out whether he couldn't live without Cheng Sizhou, or Cheng Sizhou couldn't live without him.
He removed the receiver and pressed his thumb towards the end button. Cheng Sizhou seemed to sense it and immediately said, "Well, you've only been here for a short time, so it wouldn't be nice to let someone else pay for you. How about you guys eat first? When you have time, send me your location and I'll pick up the bill later, okay?"
Cheng Sizhou secretly calculated that when Zichuan moved in, he insisted on paying him two months' rent upfront and buying some daily necessities. If he treated everyone to a meal to save face, he'd probably have nothing left and would have to live frugally again for the rest of the month.
"I'll discuss it with them." Wen Zichuan hung up the phone.
Since you have told a lie, you should make it more convincing.
He got off the subway and walked to a large chain supermarket near the community. He swept around before closing time and bought all the things Cheng Sizhou liked to eat.
When this man was sick, he was like a child. He had a poor appetite and didn't want to eat. My cooking skills were really not good, so I had to buy some food to nourish him.
When I entered the house just in time, the "little Shiba Inu" came to greet me happily: "You're back!"
Wen Zichuan handed him the shopping bag: "Have you eaten? I packed some for you."
"Didn't we agree that I'd pay the bill? How did it become freeloading?" Cheng Sizhou opened his pocket, a stunned expression on his face. "Wow, which of your colleagues has such good taste?"
"If you don't want to eat it, I'll put it away." There was no smile on Wen Zichuan's cool face.
"No, no, no!" Cheng Sizhou immediately backed off, holding his pocket tightly in his arms. He then carefully opened a box of small cakes and stuffed them into his mouth. "Thank you for thinking of me when you went out to eat something delicious."
What are you thanking me for? Do you want to hear him say "thank you"?
Wen Zichuan wondered if there was a transitional stage between "disliking" and "liking" someone. He didn't mind slowly leveling up by defeating monsters; as long as he took the right path, he would eventually defeat the dragon and win the "princess's" heart.
Casting for "Xiao Chongshan" began on Monday.
Radio drama roles are generally divided into four categories: protagonist, important supporting role, general supporting role, and extras. Only protagonists and important supporting roles require special selection; others don't have much screen time, so dubbing directors usually assign them to new voice actors in the studio to give them practice and gain experience.
This drama was produced by the Second Voice, and Anjie Studio participated in the recording. In order to bring the newly recruited "voice actor idols" out to see the world, at the instruction of President Jin, the centralized recording location was set up in the Second Voice's recording studio.
This also means that every time Anjie records, he has to come up with the second sound.
"Everyone is here, Teacher An, let's get started." Chen Yilan represented the second voice and served as a judge for this casting together with An Jie.
"Tell us your intended roles first, and then go in and record your audition lines." An Jie glanced at the information sheet handed over by Su Zhuo. The three people in that group were Shen Junmeng, Guo Tianrui, and Wen Zichuan.
Shen Junmeng tried to recite the script on the screen. He might have been too nervous, and the more he recorded, the more unnatural he became. Towards the end, he took a deep breath and even made mistakes in punctuation.
An Jie didn't say anything, but Chen Yilan couldn't stand his temper and said coldly, "Do it again, with a lower voice."
Another time, Shen Junmeng was even more panicked. He said he was not in good condition and wanted to record again later.
Chen Yilan struggled to suppress his emotions: "Next."
Guo Tianrui's intended role was a supporting one, and he performed it quite well, but he tried a bit too hard and the acting was too obvious.
Chen Yilan took off his headphones: "Teacher An, what do you think?"
Anjie smiled and said, "It's OK. The sound quality is pretty good."
Su Zhuo listened anxiously. Teacher An's evaluation was equivalent to no evaluation at all. If the voice was not pleasant, the person would not be hired. He was now transferred to the Art Management Department. Whether he could bring these voice actors to prominence was related to his year-end performance bonus.
Through the glass of the recording studio, he blinked hard at Wen Zichuan, meaning: Teacher Wen, help me!
As for Wen Zichuan, he had let Pinault listen to the audition lines for the protagonist and important supporting roles in advance. Pinault told him that the reason why Chen Yilan and Yan Dantong asked him to replace Zheng Tu was because his voice and feeling were very similar to Teacher Zheng Tu. Both of them had a relatively gentle and full-bodied gentlemanly voice, and had the same scholarly air as Wen Hao.
So in his opinion, neither of the two protagonists of "Xiao Chongshan" was suitable for him. He first chose a supporting role to record. After the recording, he changed his voice and chose a protagonist to try it out.
The way of choosing supporting roles is very smart, which proves that he has a clear understanding of his own positioning, but the second voice is obviously feeding them resources. If he doesn't even try to play the leading role, wouldn't it be a waste of President Jin's efforts?
After the scene was over, Chen Yilan was in a state of low pressure.
Before this, the people who cooperated with the Second Sheng were the owners of various studios. Now he was sent here to lead some crappy "voice actor idols". They are simply not comparable. Even if Wen Zichuan is the tallest among the short ones, he can't take on the leading role right away.
President Jin's arrangement was also amazing. She felt uncomfortable just listening to it. He even deliberately invited An Jie, the big Buddha, to watch. Was he worried that the second voice was too much to lose face, right?
"Zichuan, try this part." An Jie flipped through the audition script and pointed out a role to him.
Wen Zichuan glanced at the screen and was a little surprised. This character was not only a villain, but also a crazy guy who couldn't get what he wanted. He had nothing to do with the gentle and full-bodied Gongzi Yin.
Chen Yilan next to him also showed an "incredible" expression, thinking that it was indeed An Jie, a man of great skill and courage.
Wen Zichuan pondered for a few seconds and immersed himself in the character again, trying to capture the character's loneliness, paranoia, arrogance and strong unwillingness.
He imagined whether there would come a day when he would give everything but still not get what he wanted, and would become a madman? So mad that he would turn love into hate, and force him, demanding a so-called perfection.
He endlessly drew similar emotions from his own emotional library and gave them to the character. The lines in black on a white background suddenly became ferocious, like the tip of a poisoned knife, rolling across his throat and grinding across his lips and teeth.
"See this finger? It's on fire!"
"I crawled back from the gates of hell and endured eighty-one tortures, so I don't feel any pain. But what about you? You can't accept killing anyone here, right?!"
"I don't believe in good deeds being rewarded! I just want you to regret it, and that's all! Hahahaha!"
Wen Zichuan's wild laughter revealed a bit of the coldness of someone who could see through people's hearts but had no way to retreat. Everyone present got goosebumps.
"Okay, stop." Anjie gave the order.
Chen Yilan's face, which had been cold for a long time, finally melted away: "It's not easy."
It was rare to hear her praise someone, so Su Zhuo gave Wen Zichuan two thumbs up, as happy as a well-fed groundhog.
"That's about it." An Jie said to Chen Yilan, "I understand what Mr. Jin means. When the time comes to officially come for the recording, the teachers will definitely be able to arrange it."
Chen Yilan was so embarrassed after hearing this that he almost wanted to find a hole to hide in. "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. An, to pay more attention to this. When it comes to casting, the most important thing is to match the voice to the character."
