Chapter 220: Humanoid Tank
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Meng Fan’s previous voice acting skills weren’t at zero, for he had received a fair amount of professional training and vocal exercises. Otherwise, it was impossible to enter the voice acting profession so quickly relying on the voice control and voice appeal granted by the “singing skills” attribute alone.
At least, he had earned director Charlie’s approval, which definitely did not just rely on his voice and his sound appeal. His existing foundation had been another reason.
Hence, after receiving +1 voice acting skills, he was able to quickly transfer it into his skillset, and use it on the following voice acting commissions.
To the bearded youth, Meng Fan had entered his zone; his dubs were getting better and better!
These two were both professional voice actors who started as enthusiasts and took advantage of the rising popularity animation and gaming industry. They’ve been in the industry for a few years now, and have seen several voice actors since Chocolate Factory has cooperated with some god-tier actors in the past. They had really seen some monsters and geniuses.
To them, Meng Fan could fall into the genius monstrosity category.
His sound quality was good, he had a wide range, and his voice changed fast, with a strong imitation ability and sound performance… Meng Fan had all the conditions for a voice actor that couldn’t be gained from training, and relatively speaking, the basics that he required could be practiced, like dialogue, mouth shape, and pronunciation.
Of course, these weaknesses were only limited when compared to the other conditions he had, for even his weaknesses were at a high level.
The other staff member was shocked to learn that Meng Fan had no voice acting experience, but felt it was appropriate. The only downside, no weakness that was apparent from Meng Fan’s was his lack of experience.
“If he develops his technique, he will definitely be god tier, talent is terrifying!”
“Why are people so different from each other. Is the only thing lacking for a regular person to become a genius was some talent? No, it’s missing a lot of talent!”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
“Don’t you know this guy is a genius in a bunch of other things too?! You know just yesterday…”
The staff member next to the bearded youth became more and more shocked as he heard the bearded youth speak of Meng Fan’s other accomplishments.
…
“Is that all?”
They all say that cultivation has no end, and this was exactly how Meng Fan felt recording in the studio. Suddenly when Lou Lan announced that his session was over, Meng Fan was stunned for a moment. It was already 6:00 pm, and he had spent about 4 hours in the studio back and forth.
“Yup.”
The bearded youth, Lou Lan responded, “That’s all the roles director Char had prepared for you.”
Meng Fan heard this and left the studio. Although he had the tracksuit to adjust his body temperature, the studio was still uncomfortable, but especially when he wasn’t busy recording.
Looking at his experience, Meng Fan had dubbed the voices for 18 roles in total, excluding the five roles from “Forest Exploration”. Out of these, sixteen had been deemed to be approved by the System. Meng Fan didn’t know why the other two didn’t pass, but this success rate was still acceptable.
Of course, he was fast because they had been roles from video games and animations. They had very few lines, or else he wouldn’t have been able to dub so many in such a short time.
And they weren’t important roles either. For if it had been a leading character, just the thought of the lengthy script was enough to make Meng Fan cry.
“Then I’ll head out now.”
Meng Fan knew it was already difficult for him to dub so many roles today, so he said to the bearded youth, “If you have any video game roles suitable for me, please keep them for me.”
“Alright.”
Meng Fan’s skills were enough to earn Lou Lan’s approval. He didn’t see anything wrong with Meng Fan’s pretentious requests.
“Where’s Meng Fan?”
When Charlie returned from his business, Meng Fan had already left. He smiled bitterly. “I was going to arrange an entry dinner for him today.”
He then asked Lou Lan how Meng Fan’s voice recordings went that afternoon.
…
After leaving the Chocolate Factory, he headed straight for Da Mei studios. Most of the members were still there, and when he asked if they had eaten, they all looked at him with the unanimous face of having their lives squeezed out of them.
“Call some takeout, on me.”
Meng Fan waved his hand. He didn’t know any other way to interact with his employees as the boss of the studio.
“I’ll make the order.”
Immediately, someone offered to take on the task of selecting the dishes.
“Qiang, did Ya Nan not come today?”
Meng Fan looked around and didn’t see Wang Yanan or Zhang Zhou Wei, so he asked Chen Da Qiang.
Chen Da Qiang smiled. “Maybe, possibly, they could be…”
Meng Fan cackled in laughter. He hoped the brazen mouthed Zhang Zhou Wei could man up during such a crucial moment.
Before the takeout arrived, Meng Fan took this time to creep around and look at everyone’s work.
Give them pointers?
Meng Fan remained more of an observer, and if he really noticed some issues, he would record it on his live stream assistant so he can bring it up afterward. Unless it was a simple problem that could be fixed in one sentence.
Meng Fan never wanted to be a part of the management team for the studio, so he didn’t partake. As he walked around, he mostly harbored the attitude of joking and chatter towards his employees. He considered it a way to get to know his members.
Especially towards the postproduction members that were working on his manga. He still gave some suggestions and pointers to some details in the drawings, for he was the contracting party.
After eating, he hung around for another hour before running to his neighborhood from the studio. Seeing he was only 11 kilometers away from completing [Travelling Deity], Meng Fan checked his miles ran and headed straight for the school. He checked that his pace had been okay and that he could run a half marathon in two hours. Otherwise, even if he completed the 11 kilometers, he wouldn’t have been able to complete task phase 3.
“Iron god, you’re running so late!”
“Why are you going so hard?!”
“Look at the Iron god, he’s already so talented, but he works so hard!”
“Have you guys noticed, Meng Fan’s lost a lot of weight!”
“Yes, he can’t be called fat anymore; more like bulky!”
“Fat people are full of potential!”
“He’s tall, muscular, attractive, rich, and talented. Unfortunately, he’s not a player!”
“How do you know that? As long as you can attract him…”
“Yeah right, your opponent is Wu Tong, you have no hope!”
“So what if it’s Wu Tong! She’s only attractive, has a good figure, a good sense of fashion, a great personality, excellent grades, athletic, wealthy…To be honest, Wu Tong’s existence is enough to make me question my orientation!”
“F*ck it, I’m not going to the internet cafe, I’m going to run too!”
“You won’t be able to keep it up! After all, you don’t have a goddess like WuTong accompanying you!”
Meng Fan ran from the school entrance to the track and greeted several people, while others spoke of him in private as he entered the track field.
There were several people on the track, but after Meng Fan arrived, people moved aside to open up the interior lane for him.
It was for no other reason than because Meng Fan ran like a human tank; nobody wanted to take on the pressure of being lapped by him!
