Chapter 169 0169, Yunfeng starts class
Yunfeng held his chin with his hand and stared at the computer monitor.

Wu Qiu and Nie Wenjun were observing his expression. They saw that he sometimes raised his eyebrows, sometimes frowned, and sometimes shook his head. It seemed that he was not satisfied with the first audio comic of "Feng Yun I". They immediately became nervous, just like fifteen buckets of water, up and down.

The video was only eighteen minutes long and it was over very quickly, and Yunfeng didn't say a word throughout the whole process.

Seeing this, Wu Qiu and Nie Wenjun didn't dare to say anything and just waited on the side.

After a while, Yunfeng changed his posture, folded his arms across his chest, and said in a deep voice: "Call everyone in the studio over and have a small meeting."

Wu Qiu and Nie Wenjun looked at each other and thought, it’s over, the first audio comic of "Feng Yun I" definitely did not meet the requirements.

The two of them said "OK" and hurried to call other people.

"Wu Qiu, what's the matter?"

"Hurry over there."

……

"Brother Nie, is he the 'boss'? He is just like the rumors said, young and handsome."

"Don't talk nonsense for a while."

……

"You said I can ask the boss for an autograph, is that okay?"

"At least not now. Look at the boss's face. It's not very good."

……

They walked in twos and threes, whispering to each other, and headed towards Yunfeng.

Seeing that everyone had come over, Yunfeng did not say anything, but moved the mouse, clicked the replay button, and then raised his hand to signal them to take a look.

This……

what's the situation?
They were all very familiar with this video, so why did they watch it again? They didn't understand the purpose of doing so, but no one asked.

After the video was played once again, Yunfeng said, "Tell me what you felt after watching it."

"..."

They all looked at each other.

feel?

Evaluate yourself?

it is good?
not good?

After waiting for a while, no one spoke.

Yunfeng smiled gently and said, "Then let me change the question. Do you know why no one reads audiobooks?"

"I think it's because I can't control the speed when listening. If I don't hear something clearly, it's very troublesome to go back and listen again."

"Yes, people usually listen to music on their mobile phones, but the mobile player experience is poor and it is difficult to drag and drop to locate music."

"Also, people usually listen to audiobooks during fragmented time, such as commuting, riding in a car, running, etc. The environment may be cluttered, so it is difficult to concentrate fully."

"There are too few high-quality audiobooks, and those few audiobook websites don't update them for several months."

"I think it's the length of the audiobook. Take a novel or a comic for example. A chapter takes two or three minutes if you read it quickly, and ten minutes at most if you read it slowly. If it's adapted into an audiobook, it should be at least fifteen minutes."

……

This question is much easier to answer than the previous one, and I have heard from colleagues from two other studios that Yunfeng is a very approachable and friendly person.

So, they let go, spoke up and expressed their opinions.

Yunfeng listened and nodded slightly, saying, "Problems with the software experience can be adjusted by collecting readers' opinions, while other problems can be solved by improving the quality of audiobooks."

After a pause, he continued, "It's just like watching anime or TV series. Some people will fast forward the entire process, while others don't want to miss a single minute. Why? The reason is simple. Without highlights, it's tasteless and a pity to throw it away."

That's true. When they go to those audiobook websites to learn, they basically force themselves to watch and listen to the whole thing. But...

How to create the highlights of audiobooks?

Yunfeng saw the puzzled expressions on their faces and knew that they didn't know much about audiobooks. He then said, "Whether it's a novel or a comic, you can feel the emotions in the words and pictures through the storyline and the author's writing and painting skills. But if you listen, you can feel richer emotions in the story through rhythmic sounds and dynamic pictures."

As he spoke, he suddenly became serious and said, "Let me tell you about some of the problems I found in the first audio comic of "Wind and Cloud I" that I just read."

Hearing this, they all pricked up their ears and were ready to take notes. They would not look down on Yunfeng just because of his young age.

Yunfeng looked at the man and woman on the left and said, "Let's talk about the dubbing first. Lu Xiaojia and Wei Xue's dubbing is very professional, and their control of the voice is very good. Whether it is a monologue or a man, woman, old or young, each character has its own characteristics."

When Lu Xiaojia and Wei Xue heard this, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the next “but” made both of them feel a little nervous.

Yunfeng said, "However, the emotional investment is not enough. To put it simply, the voice is varied and pleasant to listen to, but the sense of substitution is poor, and the character's personality, psychology, temperament and charm are not expressed."

When they were dubbing, they simply adjusted the tone and intonation to reflect the differences between the characters, but ignored the expression of emotions.

For audiobooks, the "voice" is particularly important. If there is no emotion, it is better to use AI.

Ultimately, it is because we don’t pay enough attention to dubbing audiobooks.

"If you want to express the character's personality, psychology, temperament and verve, you can't just do it casually. You have to be limited by the character's performance, including movements, lip shape, and the time and space environment of the plot. It's best to achieve no difference at all."

Yunfeng, on his part, spoke nonstop, "Well, this cannot be achieved simply by using external language skills. We must start with an in-depth analysis and understanding of the character, and carefully study the character's lines, such as the ups and downs of the voice, the speed of the rhythm, the emphasis, the characteristics of the language habits, and other factors, as well as the specific scenes and communication objects, to find out the potential psychological basis behind each line of the character. Only in this way can we be completely consistent with the character's language rhythm and inner rhythm."

Although Yunfeng has no experience in dubbing, he has done some homework in this area.

Furthermore, dubbing and drawing comics have a lot in common, except that one uses sound and the other uses pictures.

After hearing these words, Lu Xiaojia and Wei Xue looked at Yunfeng with a little more admiration in their eyes.

Because every word is right.

An excellent voice actor must possess these abilities and qualities, so that the works he or she produces can be regarded as masterpieces of dubbing art.

Lu Xiaojia said thoughtfully: "Boss, I understand."

Wei Xue said with a twinkling gaze: "Thank you, Boss. I will pay attention to improving my abilities in related areas in the future."

Neither of them is a first-line voice actor. Some of the animations, film and television dramas they participated in dubbing before were low-budget and the requirements were not high. Over time, they formed a habitual thinking that "it's good enough".

Yunfeng finally woke them both up.

Then, the next thing is the picture.

Yunfeng turned to look at Nie Wenjun and said, "The decomposition, reconstruction, and transition of comics are all good, but the movement of the picture is not just about fading in and out, overlaying, wiping, etc. between pictures. You can also perform certain action processing based on the pictures, so that people or things can make simple movements, such as walking forward, pushing and closing doors, and the camera can also produce push-pull and pan movements."

Nie Wenjun used to work in animation, but suddenly switched to audiobooks. He couldn’t think of so many things at once.

The focus of audio comics is on "sound", but it is not limited to sound. In order to enhance the appeal of the story, more work can be done on "movement".

Yunfeng continued, "It is obviously not enough to simply cut up the pictures of the original comics and play them in the form of slides or PPT. We must consider all aspects of the work that are worth moving, even if it is a punch, a falling stone, or even a drop of shaky blood. As long as it can highlight the appeal, it should be made as lifelike as possible."

In terms of professional knowledge, Yunfeng is not as good as them, but in terms of knowledge and understanding of audiobooks, Yunfeng is far superior to them.

Then, Yunfeng talked about some details.

For example, onomatopoeia includes natural sounds, the sounds of objects colliding, and so on.

Another example is the BGM, especially the BGM of the two protagonists Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng, including both the martial arts and literary scenes.

These can make the characters vivid and the plot realistic, thus making readers feel as if they can hear the voices and are in the scene.

At this point, Yunfeng’s “audio book” class came to an end.

What the final change will be depends on them.
