My dad is his best friend and we just facetimed him today. As far as I understood he is still shooting dramas.…
Thank you for sharing, that's wonderful news!! I hope he's doing alright… Cancel culture is a scary thing (and unfortunately an international phenomenon), but you're right, public opinion changes with the wind and has a short-term memory.
Thank you for this!!! This really is a unique article, taking us into a tour to get to know a city, I really hope more of this type of articles follow for different cities/areas each time!!
And as for Chongqing, I admit all I'd heard about it before is that Xiao Zhan is from there, and that its cuisine is spicy, lol! So thanks for letting me know more, it really sounds like a cool city to visit (in my dreams, ha ha)!! :)
I also fell in love with dubbing for the first time after watching The Untamed!! In fact, I'm chasing all dramas Bian Jiang is voicing characters in after that; not only is his voice butterfly-in-my-stomach inducing hot (imagine him whispering in your ear -- goosebumps!!!), but he also changes it subtly every time to match the character & actor's voice, he's marvellous!!
Oh, and another actor who's always dubbing his own voice but you didn't mention is Wang Kai -- his voice is eargasm to me, lol!!
Wait! So does that mean that Chinese dramas record visuals and voices separately ? Is this the case? I'm shell…
They usually record voices on site as well, but then (as Ellietheelai said) they record voices again in post-production, in studio, by professional voice actors, and dub this over most (or the most problematic) scenes! Except for some rare times when the regular actors record their own voices themselves. When the production, editing, and voice acting team have all worked well, you can barely notice the dubbing (especially if not a native mandarin speaker & busy reading subtitles to notice the syncing quality, like me, lol). That said, there have been several cases where the dubbing quality is far from being great, but I've personally grown to ignore it. :)
