Chapter 239: AFK in the Recording Studio

“Done?”

Director Charlie and the vocal assistant weren’t present for the last two hours of the recording session. Of course, Lou Lan had reassured them by saying that Meng Fan could continue with the recording and they can check in periodically.

Because of Meng Fan’s previous performance quality and efficiency, Lou Lan, Charlie, and the assistant were not worried at all. They’d gone off to take a break and return to fix any minor issues later. They didn’t expect them to be finished when they returned, though.

They selected a few major plot points, and when the quality was assured, they felt there was no need to check the rest. Immediately, it was sent to the proofreading team.

In less than a day, Meng Fan managed to finish most of the major recording for “Nine Days”. The most important parts were complete, and with good quality as well. Naturally, Charlie was very happy, for he had finished recording all 12 episodes for season one of “Nine Days” that was scheduled to take a week in one day. Now, there are a few more days to engage in editing and filling. Because Meng Fan had voiced the male lead, they were able to finish everything several days ahead of schedule.

Speedy, but high quality. The client’s daddy will be very satisfied! And when such a powerful daddy hegemony like Xuan Wu animation was satisfied, they will definitely give you more work!

“I originally thought it would take you at least three days to complete them all. I didn’t think you’d be finished in just one day.” Charlie asked someone to send the recording to the editing department before asking Meng Fan. “Then what are your plans now, do you want the studio to find some more work for you?”

“I actually have something I need your help with, director.”

Meng Fan had already gone over the sentence several times in his mind. “Before, all my roles were small, and focused on video games, so the roles didn’t have that much coherence in the plot. But after voicing Luo Hao all day, I’ve learned a lot. I felt enlightened, but also found a lot of shortcomings. I understand it’s not enough to rely solely on the versatility of my voice and the power of imitation. Voice acting still needs to be studied.”

Anyone who heard Meng Fan’s words would have thought it was fake beyond compare. How can someone as skilled as you be declaring inadequacy? But if they believed him, then they would respect his modesty, professionalism, diligence, perseverance, and reaffirm the idea that “nobody can just succeed, everyone has to work hard” from the bottom of their hearts.

Meng Fan didn’t know which one of the above Charlie was feeling at the moment.

He continued, “So, I want to ask you if I could register a recording studio and keep practicing. Of course, if the studio needs any work done during the process, feel free to let me know too.”

There was only a time requirement left to satisfy [Studio Bug]. Meng Fan thought about paying to rent a recording studio since it was a rather convenient thing to find in Hangzhou, but it would be costly. But any problem that can be solved by money is not a problem. Only, it would reward him with +5 voice acting skills and +3 voice appeal, which will come all too sudden. If he could borrow a studio with the excuse of wanting to learn, he could say he’d been buffering during his training. Then, everyone would be surprised at the speed of his progress and have no time to ponder the other metaphysical attributes at play.

Nowadays, everyone thought Meng Fan was a voice acting genius. If they could see his hard work and effort, they would recognize him for his skill.

“That’s it? Do you have any other requests? Like do you want an assistant or a vocal technician?” Seeing Meng Fan shake his head, Charlie smiled. “That’s all huh, then you can have this studio, you’re familiar with it too. Either way, this studio was reserved for you to voice dub Luo Hao anyways.”

Just like that, Meng Fan became the CV in the Chocolate Factory that had his own recording studio.

He went home and came back again with his toiletries and art tube.

When Meng Fan returned, Charlie was still there. Seeing his equipment, Charlie couldn’t help but feel he was going too hard.

Meng Fan was hardcore indeed. Aside from going to the bathroom, he never left the studio. Time is precious! As for what he’d been doing inside… Heh. Drawing of course.

Fortunately for him, nobody came into the recording studio that had become exclusively his own. Only Lou Lan would occasionally come in if he had worked for him. Otherwise, anyone who entered would have to treat Meng Fan like a psychotic patient.

Recording studios are so stuffy, how could someone draw in there?!

He drew until 3:00 am, went to sleep, then went off to run a lap and eat some food before returning to the drawing desk.

But after solving the issue of stuffiness, a closed space like the recording studio was an optimal environment for inspiration and creativity. No wonder authors rushing their work would enclose themselves in dark rooms.

Of course, Meng Fan wasn’t drawing manga the entire time. As he drew, he was also increasing his voice acting abilities and continued to stream on time at night. To make it easier, he streamed about his voice acting.

There was a lot of voice acting content in the studio, as there were roles that hadn’t been recorded yet and several that have been. The video clips were also much easier to produce. With the help of professional equipment, all the netizens found the new method of streaming very refreshing. It also allowed the netizens to feel the charm and appeal of dubbing more intuitively.

…

“Robin, we’re here to get you! Leave the rest to us!”

“We’re going to die anyway, I want to die here!”

“Robin!”

“Robin Jiang!”

“Robin!”

“What’s going on here?!”

“I finally understand who Robin’s enemy is! Usopp go and shoot that flag.”

“Yes, sir! The new weapon is a giant slingshot, its name is Dou! Taste its power! Flamingo star has been • slain!”

“The pirates have declared war on the planet ZF!”

“Just as I hoped!”

“Quick, say you want to live!”

“If I could really make one wish, I want to live! Take me to the oceans with you!”

From Luffy’s shouting to Robin crying in the end, Meng Fan had dubbed the hottest episode of One Piece in one go, featuring Luffy, Robin, Choppa, Sanji, Nami, Sauron, Usopp, Spandam, and passersby, including the sound effects of the flamingo penetrating the flag, the howls, the cries…It was full of hearty emotion!

And he’d done it all in Japanese too.

“What a f*cking badass, if I haven’t been listening to Meng boss’s voice dubs recently, I would think this was the original soundtrack!”

“Hahaha, the female voice has returned! The person who betted on no female voices appearing today better give a 1024!”

“How many roles is that in one breath?! I’m suspecting there’s a voice acting crew living in Meng host’s throat!”

“F*ck, it’s so badass to voice a female, but he even managed to dub her crying!”

“F*cker! When I watched this episode, I almost died from crying, now you’re here to earn my tears again!”

“Crying from listening +1!”

“Crying from listening +69!”

“I’m used to it, if Meng fatty dubs all the famous characters from Japan, I wouldn’t even be surprised!”

“Haha Meng host is brave in his dubbing choices, as long as he continues imitating, I can say that I’ll be able to recognize any voice!”

“I just want to listen to his impression of Mr.Ohashi.”

“I want to hear Mr.Yoshizawa.”

“I’m different from you guys. I want to hear him impersonate Mr. Ogi.”

After dubbing this segment, Meng Fan ended tonight’s stream.

This was the fifth live broadcast he’d done in the studio. On the fifth broadcast, from domestic to foreign, from TV series to movies, and from animations to the ghost stories circulating on 8th Station, he was unable to count the number of clips he’d dubbed.

After logging off, he checked the time for [Studio Bug]. He was already at 9500 minutes of experience and was only 500 away. In about 8 hours, he’d be done.

He drew until 3:00 am.

Better take a nap. When he wakes up, the experience will be full.

Meng Fan flopped over and prepared for bed, but was woken up by the alert in his mind, signaling the completion of a task.
