**Zhao Feng Faces Scrutiny After Animated Film Event**
Public Appearance Amidst Cheating Allegations
Zhao Feng, alongside artist **Jace**, made a public appearance today in Tai Kok Tsui to promote the animated film “The Smurfs.” The duo engaged with attendees in games, but Zhao Feng‘s presence was notably overshadowed by recent allegations of cheating, stemming from an apology issued by his ex-girlfriend. He remained tight-lipped, declining interviews and leaving the event promptly after his segment.
Voice Acting Challenges and Aspirations
During the promotional event, Zhao Feng discussed his experience lending his voice to an animated character. This marks his second dubbing role, and he noted the increased difficulty compared to his previous work where the character had no mouth. He found matching the character’s emotional nuances, particularly the soft singing while speaking, to be the most demanding aspect.
Jace also shared her enthusiasm for voice acting, describing it as a long-held aspiration. She expressed joy in seeing children’s reactions to animated films and how her past roles, like the character “Mezhi,” have evolved alongside her personal growth into a more independent and courageous individual.
Dubbing Difficulties and Collaboration
Jace elaborated on the technical challenges of dubbing, humorously recounting her initial struggle to synchronize her voice with the character’s mouth movements. She discovered that embodying the character’s physical actions aided her performance. The singing portions proved particularly arduous, requiring precise lip-syncing with the animated character’s expressions.
When asked about collaborating with Zhao Feng, Jace mentioned they recorded their parts separately but that he had shared positive updates. The entertainment industry often sees artists juggling multiple projects, with voice actors like those in the recent animated hit “Elemental” often recording dialogue individually before final audio mixing.
MV Controversy and Artist’s Perspective
Addressing recent controversy surrounding her new music video, which some claimed took 37 hours to film, Jace offered a lighthearted response. She acknowledged the long shooting hours but emphasized the collective effort put in by the production team, regardless of the exact duration.
She humorously noted that the extended filming time seemed to garner more attention for the MV itself. “We all shot very hard,” Jace stated, hoping future projects would focus on the work rather than speculative filming times. Her priority remains on creating enjoyable content and growing with her production team.
