Donnie Yen’s most commonly used voice actor Chen Hao is from Sichuan
"I have matched everything that can be matched, and I want to make a movie most now"
"At the beginning, I saw Donnie Yen hugging Qin Lan, and as soon as his voice dubbed by the queen came out, I couldn't help but make the question that this is the modern version of "Ip Man"..." Some viewers said after watching "Rage and Serious Case" Such feelings.
Many fans know that in this film, the voice of Donnie Yen is the famous voice actor Chen Hao in Chengdu.
At the time of the reporter's deadline on August 26, the box office of "Rage and Serious Case" had exceeded 990 million yuan, making it a well-deserved dark horse movie this summer.
From the "Ip Man" series to "Chasing the Dragon" and then to "Anger: Serious Case", Chen Hao can't remember how many times this is the voice of Donnie Yen.
In Chen Hao's view, the voice of Zhang Chongbang played by Donnie Yen is to understand Donnie Yen's expression, not to simply imitate his external appearance, but also to imitate his soul.
Recently, Chen Hao is very busy. The stage play "Activities Transforming Human Form" based on Wang Meng's novel of the same name starring him is on tour. Chen Hao described the play as "the ceiling of Chinese drama."

Talk behind the scenes
I used to listen to songs and drink with Donnie Yen in Chengdu
Whether it is a movie promotion or a private tour, Donnie Yen has been to Chengdu many times and posted Sichuan cuisine on Weibo.
In Chen Hao's Weibo, there are a lot of content related to Yen Zidan's new films.
He said that in the 16 years since 2005, 90% of Donnie Yen's films have been dubbed by him.
"The opportunity was an audition in 2005. I was selected to dub him, and then the team asked me to dub him. In my impression, Donnie Yen is a person who is very serious about his work, and he hopes to be perfect in his work. I have had direct contact with him four or five times at work. He has never lost his temper. We communicate with each other sentence by sentence together. He will ask if this is okay, how can it be done? Would it be better to shout out here? , This is how we work in the studio."
Chen Hao said that apart from work, he and Yen Zidan once had contact, "He brought his family to Chengdu to play, and I went to the lotus mansion in Jinli to listen to songs with him. We drank a little wine and chatted together. He is very easy-going, and we get along like friends. The various rumors on the Internet are at least not felt when I get along with him. I personally think that he is a very gentle person who can communicate with others. I recognize it when I work. Seriously, laughing and joking during the break."
Talk about dubbing
Not only to imitate the sound, but also to imitate his soul
"Furious Case" is the posthumous work of Director Chen Musheng. Director Chen Musheng died when Chen Hao dubbed the film, but Chen Hao and Chen Musheng had collaborated before.
"In the impression he is a gentle person, speaks very lightly, often smiles, has white hair, and is very elegant." Chen Hao revealed.
In "Furious Cases", Zhang Chongbang, a justice policeman played by Donnie Yen, found out that the mastermind behind the scenes was his good brother many years ago, Qiu Gangao, played by Nicholas Tse, in the pursuit of a bad case involving the massacre of the police.
Qiu Gangao made an irreparable mistake many years ago, and Zhang Chongbang's testimony in court changed his life even more.
Whether in literary or martial arts, the two in the film have many rivals, and the close-to-hand combat of the last two in the film is even more thrilling and exciting.
Chen Hao talked about his understanding of Zhang Chongbang: "He is a sentimental and righteous policeman, and he is also very good to his brothers. He will stand on the side of justice and is a character of flesh and blood."
Before the formal dubbing, Chen Hao first got the script, and then communicated with the dubbing director and the crew of the characters in the film. About half an hour later, he entered the formal dubbing work.
Asked how to express the emotions of the characters through voice, Chen Hao said bluntly: "Because the role has been played by Donnie Yen, his Cantonese performance has been presented to me, I have nothing to show specifically, which is the same as "Nezha Zhi "The Devil Boy Comes into the World" is very different. Donnie Yen has played such a responsible police image and confronted the role of Nicholas Tse. They secretly competed. These Donnie Yen have already performed these expressions. All the emotions in these expressions are there. It’s just that he speaks Cantonese. What I’m going to do to be superficial is to imitate what he said, to understand the director’s expression, Mr. Donnie Yen’s expression, Mr. Nicholas Tse’s expression, understand their hearts, their emotions, and their The purpose of the quarrel...Then use my ability to speak lines to speak Mandarin and reproduce it again." Chen Hao further explained that this recurrence was not his creation, "I just changed a language to imitate. But. I must be true to imitate, I can’t simply imitate the outside, imitate his soul, otherwise it’s fake. I have to be hoarse, cry, ashamed, and full of responsibility like an actor playing a role. These are the same. of."

Chen Hao described the play in this way-"If the play has a ceiling, "Activity Changing Human Form" must be a small piece of it."

Really, I am always immersed in this role. It’s a very uncomfortable thing. We rehearsed for more than a month, this month you have to live as another person, enter his body to feel his soul, his pain, you have to feel all of these, so the end of the show You have to jump out quickly, or you will be too tired."

Talk about "good voice"
If there is soul and emotion in the sound, even if the sound is not good, it is also a good sound
The classic cartoon character "SpongeBob SquarePants" is a childhood memory of many people.
Many movie fans know that Chen Hao is the voice actor of the Chinese version of "SpongeBob SquarePants".
This year, "SpongeBob SquarePants" celebrated its 35th birthday. Chen Hao once posted a dubbing on Weibo, wishing "SpongeBob SquarePants" a happy birthday, and said, "Dear SpongeBob, you are 35 and have no girlfriend, then you will be silly every day. Bar!"
Chen Hao said that more and more people like the role of "SpongeBob SquarePants", "I am also infected by the fans of "SpongeBob SquarePants". A lot has been gained there, of course, more of their love for'SpongeBob SquarePants'. I liked this character very much when I dubbed it, because he was so innocent, all bad things and bad guys are not counted in his eyes. Bad things and bad guys, he always feels that all this is so beautiful, I think this is the life I yearn for. Of course, he is just an animated character, in reality it is difficult to live like him, but we can still give our souls A piece of the simplest little world."
Chen Hao has served as a judge of the voice actor contest many times. When asked what kind of voice is a good voice, Chen Hao bluntly said: "Any kind of voice can be a good voice. Voice is only one of our tools. We use voice to express emotions. If you There is soul and emotion in your voice. Even if your voice is hoarse and unpleasant, I think it is a good voice. As for how to be a voice actor, you must first be a good actor, and then learn to lip-synch."
Speaking of the status quo of the dubbing industry, Chen Hao said that the number of dubbing works for real people is slowly decreasing, and there are more and more opportunities for dubbing animation, two-dimensional, radio dramas, audio novels, and audio books because of the increasing development of online platforms. , There are many audio platform APPs that require a lot of dubbing, "if you love it, you can even become a part-time job."
Talk about the future
The biggest dream is to be a film director
In the popular animation "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World", Chen Hao is not only the film's dubbing director, but also Li Jing's dubbing.
During the interview, Chen Hao also talked about the difference between dubbing "Nezha: The Devil Child" and "Rage: Serious Case".
"I was an actor in "The Devil Boy of Nezha". I got a script. There is only text in the script. No one performed him first. No one can imitate him. Mr. Donnie Yen has already played Zhang Chongbang, and I can imitate him. "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World" we first need to create the characters. The characters are designed by the dumplings and the animation team. Our creation means making each character "Live", including the way the character speaks and acts. This is also the difference between a live-action movie and an animated movie. Just like Mr. Yen Zidan got the script to play a policeman, we got the script to play a real Taiyi person and a Shen Gongbao. , To play a Nezha, to play a Li Jing and Madam Yin, we created it with one hand, but the real people need them to go abroad, and the animated film will be expressed in the form of animation, and our actors will not appear in the screen."
With more than 20 years of experience in dubbing, Chen Hao went from the Chinese dubbing of the animated cartoon "SpongeBob SquarePants" to becoming a common dubbing of Donnie Yen. He also "voiced" behind the scenes for big coffee such as Chow Yun-fat, Aaron Kwok, and Wu Zhenyu.
Asked about the type of dubbing he wants in the future, Chen Hao said with a smile: "There is nothing, I have experienced it. From 1999 to the present, 22 years, I have countless roles dubbed. An actor may act in dozens of movies. For TV series, the director may make dozens of movies, but I can do so many dubbing in a few years. If it is fast, I can finish one work in the morning, so...I have done everything I can. "
As a voice actor, voice director, drama director, and drama actor, Chen Hao has never been lonely. This time, he is about to start a new experiment.
Chen Hao told reporters: "My biggest ideal in this industry is to make movies. To be a director, a screenwriter, and a movie I want to make. The script is in the final stage, but it is hard to say when it will be presented to everyone. Because movies are not like dramas. It's as simple as that, at least you have to think it is good to shoot. If the book is not good, no matter how powerful the director is, it won't look good. Everything first comes from the script of the movie, and everything else is the icing on the cake."
