Chapter 725: Curtain Call
Zhang Zian and Fei Masi walked slowly, although there were no flashing lights one after another, they enjoyed the moment of having the red carpet alone.
The red carpet is not long, and it will soon come to an end.
One employee led Zhang Zian into the theater's staff passage, and another employee greeted the children: "Everyone can check in the tickets, come in quickly, the movie is about to begin!"
Without deliberate guidance, the boys and girls consciously lined up in two lines and checked in order to enter the venue. The children who had already left heard the news from others and were hurrying back.
After entering the theater, the staff opened the door of a room for Zhang Zian and Fei Masi.
"Sir, this is the preparation room. You can prepare a little bit here. We will call you before the movie starts. There is a TV and DVD player over there, as well as the disc of "War Dogs". You can use it as you like, but ...there is very little time left for you, I am afraid you can only browse through it fast-forward."
The staff pointed to the small room and introduced it to Zhang Zian.
"Okay, thank you." Richard said in German for Zhang Zian.
Before leaving, the employee turned back and said sincerely: "Thank you very much for coming today, otherwise the children will be really disappointed."
"You're welcome, it's my pleasure," Richard said.
The employee nodded and left temporarily.
After Zhang Zian entered the room, he closed the door and looked around the room.
The room is small in size, about the same as an ordinary bedroom. There is a wardrobe in the corner, which can be used for changing clothes temporarily. In addition, there are TV, DVD, coffee table, and a sofa for two people. Other than that, there is nothing else.
The Blu-ray DVD of "War Dogs" on the coffee table is not an official release, and there are various warnings printed on the cover.
The movie is currently in the world premiere stage, and the disc must not be taken out of this room to prevent leakage.
I think the simultaneous interpreters before coming here watched and pondered this movie repeatedly in this room.
Zhang Zian turned on the dvd and TV, and started to play fast forward. He didn't need to watch it, as long as Richard watched it.
Facing the open space in the room, he released the other elves and made them invisible.
"Where is this?" Fina looked left and right.
"Cinema." Zhang Zian explained, ""Dogs of War" will have its world premiere here, it's almost the premiere, everyone just happens to watch it together."
"Didn't you already read it?" Fina lost interest as soon as she heard it.
"No, the one I watched before was a rough cut, not an official screening version. The rough cut is relatively rough, and many post-production special effects have not been added, and the small screen in the VIP room can't compare with the giant screen in a real movie theater after all. , the shock effect is far worse, it can almost be regarded as two movies."
Zhang Zian corrected Fina's misconception. Compared with the official version, the rough cut version I saw before was no different from the difference between the quality of avi and the quality of full HD.
Femas walked up to Richard and asked worriedly, "How is it, Richard? If the difficulty is too high, it doesn't matter if it's perfect, as long as the meaning can be expressed clearly."
Simultaneous interpretation is already difficult, and adding emotion to each line of dialogue is almost equivalent to taking over the entire translation and dubbing work of an overseas film.
Richard stood on the coffee table, stepped on the remote control with a bird paw, sometimes fast forwarded at 4 times speed, sometimes fast forwarded at 8 times speed, and sometimes played key plots with more dialogue at normal speed.
"Quack! Are you underestimating my uncle? Only such a challenge can reflect my IQ crushing." It shouted arrogantly.
"But... if you watch it fast-forward like this, many plots will flash by, right?" Femas reminded it.
"It doesn't matter! Look at the idiot poking over there, he basically fast-forwarded through the small Dongying movies, but it didn't affect him flicking over and over again, as long as he can see the key plot... ..." Richard said with a sideways glance at Zhang Zian.
"..." Zhang Zian told himself to be patient, let it go for now, and settle the score after returning to Binhai City.
Seeing that Richard was very confident, Phimus stopped disturbing it.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door.
"Mr. Zhang, the time is up, are you ready?" the employee asked outside, with anxiety in his voice.
Richard fast-forwarded to the end at 16x speed, then turned off the TV with a snap, and landed on Zhang Zian's shoulder with flapping wings.
"Ready, let's start."
When Zhang Zian opened the door, it said.
The employees were actually quite worried. Such a short preparation time made it hard for him to believe that Zhang Zian could successfully complete the difficult task of simultaneous interpretation, but at this time there was no other way but to be a dead horse as a living doctor. In his opinion , Zhang Zian's biggest advantage is that he participated in the whole process of filming and can speak fluent German. If it weren't for this, the theater executives would not be convinced.
When Zhang Zian and Femas appeared next to the screen, there was warm applause in the theater. Looking around, except for a few theater employees and high-level executives, almost all the audience are teenagers and girls from Germany.
The audiences of other competition units come from all over the world, but kplus and 14plus are specially prepared for more than 4,000 schools, youth clubs and student unions in Berlin and its surrounding areas.
The staff led Zhang Zian and Femas to a small podium next to the screen, adjusted the microphone for him and left.
After the applause subsided, Richard cleared his throat and said in German: "Hi everyone, it's a great honor to stand here as today's interpreter. As you know, this movie is performed by Phimas, and I also participated in the whole process, but everyone What I don’t know is that I have also learned German and received professional dubbing training. Please witness my training results today. Thank you!”
Zhang Zian couldn't understand what it was saying, so he could only make mouth gestures with his mouth slightly open and smiled, but judging from the audience's reaction, everyone was quite surprised by Richard's words.
It is still correct to brag appropriately at this time, otherwise it is impossible to explain how he, who runs a pet shop, can dub.
Femus squatted beside him quietly.
The other elves walked curiously in front of the vast screen, since they couldn't be seen by others anyway.
The lights of the theater dimmed quickly, and the movie was about to start. The audience stared at the screen with bated breath, and glanced at Zhang Zian standing behind the podium from time to time.
Since Zhang Zian had to pretend to be staring at the screen dubbing, his back was facing the audience at this time, so he didn't need to keep lip-synthesizing, so he relaxed, otherwise it would be tiring to lip-synthesize for two hours.
The movie begins.
Somewhere in a fictitious police dog training base, a female German Shepherd is lying on her side in the kennel, and two veterinarians in white coats, a man and a woman, help her deliver the baby.
"Come on! Come out soon! Come on!"
"Breathe! Push!"
They cheer up the pot-bellied female dog with every word and every word.
Soon, a cute puppy came out of the mother's body first, shaking its head from side to side ignorantly.
One of the veterinarians picked it up and looked at its abdomen, "Ah, it's Mr. Tiao. He got out in such a hurry. Let's call you 'Lightning'!"
The scene at the beginning of the movie was not included in the rough cut, but Feng Xuan and the others should have re-shot it later, telling the origin of the protagonist Lightning's name.
Richard's dubbing is lifelike, not only showing the excited and anxious tone of male and female veterinarians, but even imitating the slightly sharp voice of women and the thick and deep voice of men, but not too much, still based on Zhang Zian's original voice The foundation, so that the audience can hear that this is a fake voice that is deliberately imitated through careful identification, and will not generate more doubts.
Seeing this scene, Fina, who was originally in a slump, recalled the process of it delivering the two pregnant female cats, and immediately had a sense of substitution, staring at the screen intently.
The young audience's youthful cheeks were covered with a layer of light watercolor by the light of the screen. As the screen changed, various colors mixed together on their faces, but it didn't make people feel funny.
Richard's dubbing didn't make the young audience feel any abruptness. They were completely immersed in the slowly unfolding plot, and each of them watched with their mouths half-opened, and even forgot to put the popcorn in their mouths. stuffed.
The same is true for Xinghai, Old Tea and Snow Lion. At first they were not quite used to the extremely wide screen and the sound effects surrounding them. They always felt that their eyes were not enough. It's like being there. This is by no means the audio-visual shock that can be enjoyed at home or in a VIP room.
The limited number of adult employees and theater executives exchanged glances with each other in surprise. They didn't have high expectations for Zhang Zian's dubbing. They just felt that Femas could come to the scene in person. Even if the dubbing is not very good, it doesn't matter. The children didn't care about Fei Max's face, but Zhang Zian's dubbing effect far exceeded their expectations, it was simply professional!
Phemaus stared at the screen.
Yes, that's what it feels like.
It seems to have regained the feeling of nearly a hundred years ago in memory.
The people who enjoy its movies the most, then and now, are always the kids.
It was right to choose this place instead of the Berlin Film Palace.
Soon, it too is steeped in a carefully edited cinematic plot.
As the plot unfolds, it seems that scenes from the filming reappeared in front of its eyes, "" and "ut" one after another, playing against actors with more or less roles in the scene, time and time again between the gunpowder smoke and the mud. We worked hard to solve the obstacles inside and outside the crew... When the sweat-watered efforts finally blossomed and turned into a complete and wonderful movie, recalling those days and nights of going out early and returning late will no longer be painful.
Leisurely admiring the plot on the screen, and glancing at the dedicated Richard from time to time, Zhang Zian is convinced that this is almost the best animal movie he has ever seen. It is intense but not too bloody and violent, inspirational but not lacking in sensationalism. , It faithfully restores the blood and tears shed by the armed police officers and dogs of the border guards in order to defend their homes and the country... The most important thing is that the movie also quietly mentions the Tibetan mastiffs that are flooding in Tibet without making people feel awkward. , assuming certain social responsibilities.
In general comparison, which animal movie is better?
The staff prepared a bottle of mineral water for him so that he could moisten his throat between dubbing.
He quietly filled the bottle cap with water, covered it with his body and put it near Richard's mouth, so that he could drink it as soon as he lowered his head.
When watching a movie with high energy and no urine points throughout the whole process, I always feel that time flies by.
All kinds of jokes and misunderstandings between Lightning's growth and training process and the trainer, Richard broke through the language barrier and made the young audience understand and laugh, even the adult audience couldn't help but smile;
When the officers and soldiers of the border armed police led the police dogs to confront the hostile militants abroad, the small audience in the audience held their breath and clenched their fists to fight for the armed police and the police dogs;
When the three police dogs responsible for the rescue mission broke through many obstacles and finally returned to the headquarters of the garrison with scars all over their bodies, the young audience all shed tears of emotion, especially those adolescent girls, who cried so hard...
In the end, the armed police officers and soldiers were successfully rescued, stood on the awarding platform together with the police dogs, wore the medals issued by their superiors on their chests and saluted, and the movie screen was frozen in the applause of the armed police officers and soldiers in the audience.
The young spectators and the few adult spectators also stood up collectively, and more enthusiastic applause and whistles erupted, especially the freckled teenager who had the sharpest whistle and the loudest slap.
Famus was still staring at the screen, which was scrolling the credits list.
It opened its eyes wide and finally saw it!
Starring:
Lin Feng as Liu Xiaokai
Famous as Lightning (provided by Qiyuan Pet Shop in Binhai City)
Although its name only stayed on the screen for a short two or three seconds, this is its name, yes.
It is relieved that it does not need to replace the names of other dogs... The long nightmare is finally over.
The subtitles on the screen continued to scroll.
The list of cast and crew including the chief dog trainer Zhang Zian, the list of behind-the-scenes production personnel, the names of producers and sponsors slided one by one, and the last line of subtitles appeared. All the animals appearing in this film have been properly placed.
Subtitles end here.
The lights came back on, and Zhang Zian bowed and took the curtain call.
The staff and theater executives walked onto the stage quickly, shook hands with Zhang Zian, and expressed their gratitude and congratulations to him warmly.
The children in the audience were still unsatisfied, and they were reluctant to leave for a long time. Many children said that after the movie is officially released on DVD, they must buy it and watch it again several times.
The theater planned to send a car to take Zhang Zian back to the hotel, but he politely declined.
Alexanderplatz is not far from Potsdamer Platz. I used to take a taxi here because I was in a hurry. You might as well walk when you go back, just to enjoy the scenery of Berlin along the road.
After leaving the theater, children scattered in groups.
"Let's go too." Zhang Zian greeted the elves.
Richard boasted about his performance just now;
Fina is most concerned about what to have for lunch;
Laocha was full of praise for the giant screen and sound of the theater;
Phimas was still immersed in reverie and did not speak;
Snow Lion clamored to eat raw beef brisket to celebrate, otherwise he would take off his pants on the street...
Xinghai turned his head and stared at a group of children who were drifting away. They were still discussing the plot with great interest, and the freckled boy had the loudest voice, which was rough and hoarse.
After walking a few steps, Zhang Zian found that Xinghai hadn't followed.
"Xinghai, what are you looking at?" He asked, "Everyone has already left."
"Meow~" Xinghai followed happily, and said, "I just had a child who may become the chancellor of Germany in 30 years."
"yes?"
Zhang Zian said in surprise, he also wanted to look back to see which child it was, whether he should be getting close now, but on second thought, let it go, it would be more interesting to keep a little suspense in the future, wouldn't it?
