Nostalgic DVD cover
It should be said that Shi Ban Yu had his days of anguish before running into Stephen Chow. His voice was tinny and impure, not a good embryo of a voice actor, and the characters he voiced were either bad guys or eunuchs, with no representation. In addition, he also dubbed some TV commercials for direct marketing goods, trying to deepen people's impression with special intonation. Through painstaking imitation, God gave Shi Ban Yu a reward.

The most important thing about dubbing for Stephen Chow is to utilize the creativity of the language. When he is interpreting for his character, he has two different voices from his life. He usually uses a normal and ordinary voice to talk to people, and only when he is having a good time with his friends, he will use a dramatic tone to increase the joyful atmosphere. Not use "you go first", but use "you go first", which is the Cantonese colloquial usage, this is Stephen Chow's exaggerated artistic expression.
Shi Ban Yu's wife in the garment business, since the birth of three daughters, is at ease at home to do Shi Ban Yu full-time wife. Shi too at home to give birth to the youngest daughter, delivery time is very short, only 15 minutes, it is too late to call the midwife on the birth of Shi Ban Yu is responsible for, hand delivery, the baby just out of the mother's body did not breathe, he vigorously shoot her buttocks with his hand, actually shoot live. Later, the Taiwan family baby magazine interviewed him, jokingly said, if he does not dub in the future, you can change to go to the midwife.
Shi Ban Yu has three daughters. The first one is the one that is not a part of the story, and the second one is a part of the story that is not a part of the story. The oldest is going to study fashion design, the second is going to study cosmetology, and the third is going to study catering, all of which have nothing to do with dubbing, but Shi Ban Yu thinks it's great! Let's just say that Eldest studied at one of the best catering schools in Taipei, and went to Taiwan to do an internship at Wang Pin after vacation. Even though her first semester's tuition fee was 170,000 Taiwan dollars, which took Shi Ban Yu by surprise, she supported her as long as she wanted to, and it was as simple as that.

In addition, he has also dubbed for big names such as Tony Leung, Tony Leung Ka Fai and Stephen Chan. In the early years, Shi Ban Yu hosted variety shows on the radio, starred in radio dramas, and his works were shortlisted for Taiwan's "Golden Bell Awards". Since 1985, he has been working in the dubbing industry under the tutelage of Chen Ming-Yang, the "Emperor of Taiwan Dubbing". Before he met Stephen Chow, most of his voice-over roles were bad guys and eunuchs, which were not well received by the industry.

His personal favorites are also Stephen Chow's works.
