On February 26, the exclusive dubbing team of the "Ne Zha" movie series, including Chang Huanyu, the founder and CEO of Shengyu Culture, Luqi and Joseph, the dubbing directors and actors of Shengyu Culture, and Zeng Zhen, the executive general manager of Shengyu Culture, visited Renmin University of China and held the "Youth Pioneer in the Rise of Chinese Comics" event.
At the sharing session, Chang Huanyu recalled the cooperation process with director Jiaozi. He said, "As long as you are passionate enough and persist in it, you will definitely get a clear result."
Taking the dubbing experience of Lady Yin as an example, Luqi frankly admitted the difficulty of character creation. The most difficult part of dubbing is not the technique, but how to become the character itself. She said when she dubbed the first film, she could only "force" tears under the guidance of the director; when dubbing the second film, she already had more life experience and empathy, and could naturally show the maternal love of the character. She said, "in the moment of dubbing, I felt that I naturally became Lady Yin".
Joseph shared the process of dubbing the young Ne Zha. "We are still too young to know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is" is a simple but profound line. It is necessary to convey certain calmness after experiencing vicissitudes. He recorded more than 60 versions of the line and finally succeeded. "After many years of experience in the industry, I learned the most important thing is the flow of emotions," He said.
Talking about the "unique secrets" of getting started with dubbing, Joseph mentioned the important role of "imagination" and the construction of the scene. Luqi said that dubbing sometimes does not need "professionalism", what it needs is creating voices that make the audience feel like friends and family.
In terms of cultural expression, the movie "Ne Zha" series integrates many cultural elements such as mythology, dialects, and opera. Chang Huanyu said, "Our country has a profound cultural heritage and a lot of classic literary works. These rich cultures have given content creators a lot of inspiration and sources. From the "Black Myth: Wukong" that came out in 2024 to the "Ne Zha" series that has sparked the love of the whole nation, more and more cultural practitioners are using contemporary forms to let the world hear China’s stories."
As an entrepreneur, he encouraged young people: the most difficult thing for college students to start a business is persistence. He sent a heartfelt message to the students: "May you and I be the dream makers of the rise of Chinese comics."
Luqi talked about a detail: when she first entered the RUC campus, she specifically asked what the school motto was. She wished that students could always adhere to erudition and practice, and “seek truth from facts” in their future life.
Joseph also started from the motto, believing that seeking truth from facts is not only the purpose of doing academic research, but also the way to achieve a career in all walks of life.
