Chapter 216  : Studio BugAfter eating, Chen Da Qiang and Xing Ta Ge, who’ve been converted by Meng Fan into fans of Su Qin Cen had become brain dead fans.“Shan Jin bro, you look so much better in person than on-screen!”“How can a human have such nice skin?!”“Pay attention to your wording, is she a human? She’s a goddess!”“Right right right! How can a mortal have such nice skin, such an elegant posture, and such a beautiful smile!”“Shan Jin bro is so famous, how can she even interact with mortals?!”Meng Fan listened to the two rattles about Su Qing Cen after she left like those two little girls.

He was speechless.

Do you know why she’s approaching you, mortals? Do you really not have any f*cking clue?“I’m going to the cultural park with Da Qiang, how about you?”“Hold up, I’ll grab the car and drop you guys off.”Xing Ta Ge had parked his car at the Huanglong Stadium last night, so he drove over to drop the two off at the cultural park and hurriedly took off.Meng Fan was a shareholder for Da Mei studios, Zhang Zhou Wei helped out often because of Wang Ya Nan, and Chen Da Qiang who had been stationed here to help Meng Fan in post-production.

Xing Ta Ge felt lonely in the dormitory by himself, and couldn’t be dragged under as well.“Meng boss, you had time to come around today?”Qin Jiao naturally wouldn’t be at the studio everyday, since the daily operations of the studio at present were being managed by a graduate student and Wang Ya Nan.This senior’s name was Yan Xi Xi, a girl who graduated three years ago.

She was a bit different from the other members of the studio, as she had been invited by Qin Jiao.

She was already a well-known illustrator in the industry, the kind who could make a decent living without joining Da Mei studio.Because of her good relationship with Qin Jiao and her own interests in starting a studio, she’d agreed to help out.

She also wanted to gain some experience in management as well.“I’m meeting someone at the cultural park so I came by to check on the work.”Meng Fan happily asked about the studio’s recent work.

It was mainly focused on how many illustration and manga post-production commissions they’d received since these were the two ‘big projects’ of the studio.He talked for a while until his milk tea and coffee arrived, and talked a bit more afterward before leaving the studio after checking the time.The person he was meeting today was, of course, director Charlie, and Charlie’s dubbing studio just happened to be in the cultural park as well.Walking along with the units, he arrived shortly after.

Seeing the studio name hanging on the gate, Meng Fan was dumbfounded.Chocolate Factory!Was this named after the movie, “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”?Or is it from, “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get”?It was like dubbing; you never know what kind of surprise your character will bring you!Meng Fan was stunned for a moment.

His imagination was so strong! Could it be related to the increased imagination attribute?“Hello, are you looking for someone?”“Hi, I’m meeting with director Charlie.”“This way please.”A young bearded man brought Meng Fan inside, looking back to peer at Meng Fan the whole way there.

He couldn’t contain himself and asked, “Are you… Meng Fan, the manga artist who can sing really well?”Meng Fan smiled.

“I think so.”The bearded youth was overjoyed.

“I’m your basketball fan!”Meng Fan froze.

Who speaks in such fragments?“Little buddy.”Immediately, Meng Fan saw director Charlie.His hair seemed denser and much tidier.

He was probably wearing a wig.

However, the scratches on his face were still visible if he looked closely.“Coffee or tea?”Charlie’s office was quite large, and didn’t look like the office of a dubbing director, but of a businessman.After sipping some tea, Charlie immediately got to the point.

“It’s like this, the tone of your voice is very charming, but your voice is too ‘main character’ like.

Although I’ve saved your recording, I still haven’t been able to find a suitable role for you yet.

To be honest, you have no dubbing experience, so it’s difficult to find work for you based on your resume.”“However, because of the diamond ring, I searched you up and saw your stream, and heard your singing.

Your voice has a high degree of moldability.

I invited you here mostly to ask you, aside from leading male characters, are there any other roles you’d be interested in?”The reason why Charlie was asking this was simple.

He did indeed look up Meng Fan and knew he was very strong in the arcade basketball and streaming category.

Hence, he felt like this person was aiming for a male lead role, which was out of his league.

But after interacting with him, despite the short time, he could confirm Meng Fan was someone easy to get along with, so he wanted to ask the question in person.If he really wanted to be a male lead and become famous overnight, at most they could still be friends, since he had no hope in the dubbing industry.

At least, at the moment.

Unless Meng Fan became so famous that people were willing to let him take the lead role without any dubbing experience.Meng Fan was puzzled and responded with a question, “Uhm, are you saying you didn’t respond to me because my recordings sounded like they were applying for a male lead role?”Director Charlie nodded.

Meng Fan tapped his brain, finally understanding why his recordings had been so unsuccessful, be it his sense of presence or his existence.Thank god the +1 luck allowed him to meet director Charlie.

Otherwise, he would go to his grave not knowing.“I really have no experience! I just wanted to send you guys the clippings that I sound best in, I didn’t think that was a reason.

I don’t have any requirements for what role I play, I just enjoy dubbing.

I don’t care if it’s the main character or a side character, I’ll even play an anonymous role.” Meng Fan said honestly.Seeing this, Charlie affirmed his thoughts.

He didn’t speak anymore of this and said, “It’s like this, the main dubbing work our studio currently undertakes is animations and games.

There are currently several characters that are suitable for your voice; are you interested in trying them out?”In addition to his good impression of Meng Fan from the diamond ring incident, what caught Charlie’s eye was still Meng Fan’s charming voice.

Although he had no experience, Charlie was confident that his choice won’t be wrong, and he’d be able to mine treasures from Meng Fan’s vocal tone.“Then let’s head over to the recording studio.”Charlie took Meng Fan to an empty studio and called the bearded youth over again to help out.“I’ve heard you sing “For the Rest of Our Lives”, and it was very touching and warm.

Now I’m going to give you these two roles that require a warm, comforting voice.

Take a look and we’ll begin in five minutes.

Is that okay?”Since the dub was for a video game, there wasn’t much emotional element required.

He just had to understand the character.“Dreams are guiding you.”The first role was simple, five words.“Huh?!”Hearing him, Charlie could feel goosebumps.In fact, Meng Fan was shocked as well.

After +2 voice appeal, he had really displayed this ‘appeal’ to its greatest extent.“Meng Fan, take a deeper breath.”“Drag out that last tone a bit more.”“Alright, let’s record it officially.”“Perfect! That’s the one!”Although Charlie was shocked by Meng Fan’s tone, he still proposed several improvements for him to consider, even if it was just nitpicking at this point.As soon as they finalized the recording, an alert sounded in Meng Fan’s mind.“Ding! You’ve triggered the task [Studio Bug].”
