The story is that the recent release of the new Chinese hero "Wuyang", "Wuyang", after the live preview video was launched, the Chinese dubbing of "Wuyang" was criticized by a large number of domestic players, and was accused of "stick reading, weak voice, and empty emotions", which was seriously inconsistent with the character's image as a "young and passionate college student".Comparing English/Japanese dubbing (clear young voice), players believe that the quality of the mid-range match is down sharply.

Some players launched a joint campaign, requiring Blizzard to re-equip and submit their requests through official feedback channels.Former Blizzard voice director @Lu Xiaoshan also posted a message to imply: "Silence is not a choice, Blizzard players are not deaf."

The implicated voice actor Zhao Yang apologized on his personal Weibo. At the same time, he explained that when he was working in his early dubbing, he reported to the relevant person in charge that his voice temperament was not matched with the role, but he did not receive attention and has now resigned from recording the subsequent role.

Zhao Yang’s statement posted on his personal Weibo:

Hello everyone, I am Zhao Yang. Recently, I have been criticized by everyone after it was launched for dubbing Overwatch Wuyang. I have also received a lot of abuse from netizens.

First of all, I’m sorry for bringing you a bad experience. I’m sorry to you here.

Moreover, I have also voluntarily resigned from recording the subsequent role.

I am here to express my apology to everyone again. If scolding me can calm everyone down, then I am willing to bear all this.

Here, please allow me to make a statement about the whole thing.

When recording the character "Wuyang", when I got the specific settings of the character, I found that this character was not suitable for me.

I proposed that this role doesn't match me very much.But my comments were not received, and they continued to let me finish the work.

At work, because my own conditions do not match the role, in order to show the young and energetic state of the character, I need to lift my voice very high, almost reaching the limit of my vocal cord load.

Moreover, the same line requires a lot of recording to meet the requirements, and the sound is always slashing and hoarse during this period, which is also a miserable recording process for me.

I was very nervous after completing the work under tremendous pressure. After the game was officially launched, I received various private messages of insults, and some players even insulted me through email.

I didn't sleep all night last night, and I felt that I was at fault no matter what. I was unable to ask for a stop right away as soon as I realized the problem.

After receiving the re-entry requirement for this role,

I once again told the recording studio that my voice and character do not match.

Therefore, even if you add it, it may be difficult to achieve the effect.

I formally resigned.

Here, I apologize to the gamers again.

Whether it is for my supporters or friends at this pace,

After that, I will continue to work hard and strive to bring better works to everyone.
