Hao Ming's Voice in the Chinese Drama Love's Ambition Is Not William Chan's Voice, Here Is the Person Behind It

Kapanlagi.com - The Chinese drama Love’s Ambition is currently under significant spotlight in the Asian entertainment world. Besides the strong chemistry between Zhao Lusi and William Chan, an interesting fact has emerged that has surprised many viewers. It turns out, the voice of the character Hao Ming, played by William Chan, is not his original voice!

This news first surfaced on social media after one of the production crew leaked that William Chan underwent a full dubbing process for the drama. This is not because the actor is unable to act, but rather due to the very strict language regulations in the Chinese entertainment industry.

As is known, William Chan is from Hong Kong and grew up speaking Cantonese. His distinctive accent is still quite strong, so in a standard Mandarin-language drama (Putonghua), his voice is often replaced to make the dialogue sound more natural and easier to understand for viewers from all regions of China.

Meanwhile, his co-star, Zhao Lusi, can use her original voice because she is accustomed to speaking with a standard Mandarin accent. This is why sometimes viewers feel there is a slight tonal difference when William and Zhao speak in the same scene.

1. Not the first time

Interestingly, this is not the first time William Chan has been dubbed in a Chinese drama. Since transitioning from a singer and actor in Hong Kong to mainland China, several series he starred in also used professional voice actors. Nevertheless, his charm on screen remains irreplaceable. His charisma and facial expressions always succeed in conveying the character's emotions perfectly.

Unfortunately, the production team has not revealed who the dubber for Hao Ming in Love’s Ambition is. There are suspicions that the dubber is the same person who has long collaborated with William on various previous projects.

2. Stay professional

Regardless of that, this fact actually makes many fans even more impressed with William Chan, who continues to perform at his best despite going through a long and complicated technical process. So professional!
