Chapter 225: The Most Beautiful Ancient Art Restorer
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
This kind of romance genre mobile game mainly targeted a female audience. Hence, the male characters were the protagonists, and there were very few female characters. Meng Fan only had to voice act four roles this time, and if he were to separate them into tropes, it was perfectly the voices of a lolita, a schoolgirl, a seductress, and a queen.
There weren"t many lines to act out, and Meng Fan"s efficiency was still at a G.o.d-tier. In about half an hour, he had finished. Lou Lan couldn"t look him in the eye!
What he heard was the voices of beautiful girls, who were delicate and charming, but in front of him was a tall and mighty man!
It was too much for Lou Lan!
"Iron G.o.d!"
As soon as Meng Fan stepped out of the studio, Lou Lan raised his hands. "Please don"t talk. Let me buffer this for a second!"
"Okay okay okay, you process it. If there"s nothing else, I"m going to head out."
Meng Fan smiled. His voice had already returned to its natural state, for he had only clutched his vocal cords in the name of art and transformed into a girl. It was like how he would normally speak and would not deliberately perform it unless it was in an acting setting.
"But bro, you still talked!"
"Iron G.o.d, thank you."
Lou Lan heard Meng Fan return to his original voice, appearance returning to normal too. He genuinely thanked him. Then he suddenly asked Meng Fan, "Iron G.o.d, you could totally record a video of a little brother online dating simulator and act out all the voices of both men and women. It"ll definitely be fire!"
"Little Brother Online Dating" was a series of videos Meng Fan knew about. He watched a bunch too. After hearing Lou Lan"s suggestion, he shook his head and smiled. "I have to stay lowkey, lowkey."
Yeah right. Meng Fan just wanted to keep some of his dignity.
There was no way he was going to record this kind of video. But if there were female characters that required dubbing, Meng Fan was still very willing to do so. Hence, he asked Lou Lan, "Do you think my female voice sounds natural?"
Lou Lan nodded. "Not just natural, it was lifelike."
Meng Fan knew Lou Lan was responsible for distributing the scripts, for a lot of the video game roles Meng Fan had received lately had been given to him by this bearded youth. So he said, "If you think it"s okay, you can also give me future female roles that you think I"m suitable for."
"No problem."
Lou Lan was already very mindful of Meng Fan, and since he had helped out big time, he was more than willing to provide voice acting a.s.sistance in his power to help Meng Fan. He thought about it carefully and said, "Iron G.o.d, I"ll help you find some after I finish distributing these. But it"s already late, so I"ll call you tomorrow after I"m done."
"Alright, then I"m heading out."
Satisfied, Meng Fan left the building. Coincidentally, he ran into a female CV, who by the sound of it was asking Lou Lan if he had a role for her. Meng Fan sped up his steps and headed out.
He might have just stolen someone"s role.
After leaving the Chocolate Factory, he strode back into Da Mei studio. The two studios being so close in the cultural park had saved Meng Fan copious amounts of time.
At this hour, Meng Fan felt like it was more appropriate to eat first before heading back, or else he would have to call takeout anyways. If he was here, he could at least eat some good quality take out, since Chen Da Qiang was present.
"You"re here too? I was just thinking, your wings got hardened eh? You weren"t here this morning, but I guess you showed up in the afternoon."
Since that night, Zhang Zhou Wei had picked up his slack around the studio significantly. As long as w.a.n.g Ya Nan was present, he would be there too. It became hard to distinguish if he wanted to come, or if w.a.n.g Ya Nan had forced him to.
Zhang Zhou Wei didn"t have much work to do around the studio. At most, he was helping w.a.n.g Ya Nan out with various small tasks. After all, he was already diagnosed with late-stage laziness. If he was diligent, it was only for w.a.n.g Ya Nan and n.o.body else.
When Meng Fan arrived, he was slouched in a corner playing video games. In front of him, on the table, was a grad school prep booklet. He had probably seen w.a.n.g Ya Nan go off to do some business and decided to slack off.
"Didn"t you leave? Why are you back?"
Zhang Zhou Wei took a look at Meng Fan and readjusted his seating before continuing his game.
Meng Fan sat down next to him. "I just finished voice recording and came back to leech some dinner."
Zhang Zhou Wei knew about Meng Fan"s voice acting gig, but he didn"t know how good he had gotten.
The two chatted lazily and played a round before Zhang Zhou Wei put down his phone and started snickering at Meng Fan.
Meng Fan saw this smile and remembered it was the end of the month. Of course, Zhang Zhou Wei needed to borrow money. He asked for a number and sent it over.
Zhang Zhou Wei wasn"t a big spender, for he could hold his own even with a girlfriend until the end of the month.
Except for the turnover he requested from Meng Fan every month, he didn"t have much financial pressure. His family didn"t need him to be a big shot figure either. Hence, he was lazy and wasn"t willing to work for money. Meng Fan never said anything about it either. Not wanting to make money didn"t affect Zhang Zhou Wei, so Meng Fan naturally hoped he just did what was most comfortable and happy for him.
Besides, there were things that Meng Fan didn"t need to say. See, w.a.n.g Ya Nan had already forced out what she could. At least he was pretty serious toward grad school after her influence. Meng Fan already felt that was incredible enough.
w.a.n.g Ya Nan had said before that with Zhang Zhou Wei"s personality, the best option was to get into grad school and stay at the inst.i.tution. He was suitable for teaching, and it would make good use of his brazen mouth.
After this, Meng Fan had full-on respect for w.a.n.g Ya Nan.
They chatted for a bit longer until Chen Da Qiang finished ordering the food. Once the delivery boy arrived, the entire studio began piling over.
Ever since Chen Da Qiang began working here, everyone had left him with the job of ordering their food. This was a skill that not everyone had and couldn"t be learned.
A dozen people soon circled him. "The food you fought for just tastes better."
Zhang Zhou Wei remained calm, for he wasn"t as food-driven as Meng Fan was. He also wasn"t like the others, who had never eaten Chen Da Qiang"s orders. He was the only one who was browsing his phone as he ate.
"Huh?"
"Hey!"
Suddenly, Zhang Zhou Wei jerked in surprise. Half of the people in the room looked toward him, while the other half continued to eat with their heads buried.
Chen Da Qiang curiously approached him.
"What"s wrong?" Meng Fan asked.
"Sister in law is famous!" Chen Da Qiang remarked.
Ever since he had called Wu Tong sister-in-law outside Meng Fan"s neighborhood, the nickname had stuck.
Everyone curiously looked over.
"Don"t look at me," Zhang Zhou Wei said. "Look at the Wechat news."
Meng Fan opened WeChat on his phone and immediately saw the second header under recommended news. "Genius, smart, and beautiful! She is the youngest painting restorer in the Forbidden City and the most beautiful restorer in the eyes of the netizens!"
The content was probably published by the national art academy"s Chinese painting department regarding Wu Tong"s partic.i.p.ation in one of the Forbidden City"s restoration events, where she had won the praise and recognition of the presiding masters through her superb technique and focused att.i.tude. Of course, the focus was on a set of photos of Wu Tong in the process of restoring.
Wu Tong was beautiful. Her facial features, figure, and grace were parallel to none. Add that to the kind of environment she was in, the kind of setting… It was definitely a wondrous sight to see!
"Wu Tong?!"
Everyone present saw her. They remarked how beautiful the photos were as they envied Wu Tong for having the opportunity to enter the Palace Museum and work on art restoration.
Qin Jiao looked at Chen Da Qiang and then looked at Meng Fan. Curiously, she asked, "Sister in law? You two are a thing now?"
All eyes were suddenly focused on Meng Fan.
He almost forgot.
Immediately, Meng Fan became embarra.s.sed.
