To be honest, the first time I clicked on the animation of "The Grandmaster of the Magic Path", Wei Wuxian's voice with a bit of cunning and careless "blue zhan ~" came out, I have goosebumps. Not exaggerate, is really think this voice like from the book out of the key, live is my imagination that dashing uninhibited Wei baby. Later, I realized that it was Mr. Zhang Jie's voice, and I realized that it was no wonder that he could put the kind of flirtation in his bones and the pain he had hidden in his voice.
Casting is not something that a director decides on a whim. I talked to my friends in the circle later, the pressure on the dubbing director is huge. The two characters, Wei Wuxian and Blue Forgetting Machine, are polar opposites in terms of voice temperament. One should be able to gag in the sky and the earth, and then sink into the abyss of gloom and despair in the next second; the other one, the words are pitifully few, but each word must carry a thousand pounds of heavy feelings, but also cold, quiet, with a sense of distance from the immortal air. Almost, the character collapsed.
It is said that many people auditioned for Wei Wuxian at that time, and they all wanted to capture that unique "evil spirit". But Mr. Zhang Jie's strength lies in the fact that he captured Wei Wuxian's "core" - not purely gangster or bad, but a kind of youthful heart and sincerity that he still retains after all the vicissitudes of life. You listen to him tease the blue forget machine when the end of the slightly upward frivolous, and in the mass grave after the return, that deliberately lowered but can not hide the exhaustion of the hoarse voice, the level is too clear. My friend said that in the studio, in order to find that kind of pain by the shadowy iron backlash, really suffocated himself enough, out of the effect is to listen to the heart of the people a pull.
The Blue Oblivion is even more "difficult". He has fewer words, but not fewer emotions. Mr. Bian Jiang's voice is cold and clear, which makes him a perfect choice for Blue. However, the difficulty lies in how to use breath, pause, and even the weight of breathing to convey the raging inner drama of Blue Forgetting Machine in very few lines. The sentence "I want to take a person back to the deep clouds do not know where ...... to take back, hidden", the surface calm and wave-free, but you listen carefully to the slight pause and breath stagnation, underneath the suppressed for how many years of longing and pain? This is kung fu. Mr. Bianjiang's handling of Blue Forgetting Machine's voice is like carving a piece of ice, and under the cold and hard shell is a flowing, hot dark river of emotion.
The best part is the chemistry between the two when they are acting together. Wei Wuxian's "hot" and Lan Xiaoji's "cold" collide in their voices. Wei Wuxian those flirtatious, tricky lines, all rely on the blue forgetting machine that seems to have no waves but actually the dark current of the reaction to support. This kind of tacit understanding, not the top experts really can not hold up. In the recording studio, it is said that the two of them play, it is said that a look to know each other what emotions to the next sentence, the voice of the exchange of words like masters, the onlookers look at the fun.
Want to experience this divine dubbing for yourself? Don't just take my word for it, go to Penguin Video and search for the animated version of The Grandmaster of the Magic Path, and the first few episodes are the litmus test. Especially the monologue at the beginning of the first episode where Wei Wuxian falls off the cliff, and the dialog between Blue Forgetting Machine and Wei Wuxian in the quiet room (yes, the famous "Boring!"), you can listen to it for free. You can listen to it for free. After listening, you'll understand why people say "voice actors are monsters" - a good voice performance can really bring a paper man to life and live in your heart.
Magic Road Master voice actors revealed: here's what you want to know
A: That's a lot! The lazy and sharp strength of Ye Xiu (animated version) in "Full-time Master", the low and magnetic voice of Bai Qi in "Love and Producer", and the coolness of Emperor Dong Hua in "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Peach Blossoms"... all of them are him! His voice varies a lot, but that unique "Su" feeling is his signature.
A: It's really not just about suppressing the voice. Mr. Bianjiang's own voice is low and cool, so his work with Blue Forgetting Machine is more about controlling his breath and resonance position to create that kind of ethereal and restrained immortal aura. It's definitely tiring, especially to maintain that precise emotional state and voice control for a long period of time, which requires a lot of breath and concentration.
A: The animated version of Wei Wuxian is Zhang Jie, and Blue Forgetting Machine is Bian Jiang. The radio drama version (Cat's Ear FM) has a more luxurious lineup, Wei Wuxian is Lu Zhixing (the match is also super god!) The radio version (Cat's Ear FM) has a more luxurious cast, with Wei Wuxian as Lu Zhixing (also superbly matched!) and Blue Forgetting Machine as Wei Chao. Both versions are classics and have their own fans, so I suggest you listen to them to experience the different styles.
A: A responsible voice actor will! And they will read it very carefully. Both Mr. Zhang Jie and Mr. Bian Jiang have openly mentioned the importance of familiarizing themselves with the original "The Grandmaster of the Magic Path", to understand the character's growth trajectory and change of state of mind, in order to accurately express it with their voices. Sometimes the subtext and emotions behind a simple line can be very complex.
A: A fan archaeology found that it is said that the atmosphere in the studio will be a little bit subtle (laughs) when it comes to some particularly "high sweet" or "high abuse" episodes. Mr. Bian Jiang has also complained that Blue Forgetting Machine has too few lines, but the pressure is even greater. Mr. Zhang Jie said that when he was dubbing Wei Wuxian's later scenes of pain and struggle, his emotions were so consumed that he had to slow down for half a day after dubbing. These are the voice behind the unknown pay ah.
