These days, many young actors' lines are not up to par, and they are saved by post-production dubbing.

Of course, there are also reasons why the actor's voice doesn't match the character, requiring a dubbing service.

It's rare to find someone like Xu Yao with such good natural voice acting skills.

Hearing the praise, Xu Yao scratched her head shyly and whispered.

"Um, Director Lin, actually I know some dubbing techniques, and I even bought my own equipment..."

"oh?!"

Lin Chuan immediately became interested. "You can do voice acting? That's great! Come on, show us a scene right now!"

He enthusiastically suggested, "Try a loli voice? A mature woman voice? Or even a gentle and intellectual young woman's voice!"

This sudden "additional test" left Xu Yao a little bewildered, but seeing Lin Chuan's expectant eyes and Zhou Yang's encouraging gaze beside her, she calmed herself down.

"Then... shall I give it a try?"

She cleared her throat and first recited a line from the script, spoken in a soft, sweet, and childlike voice, a line that the empress used to plead: "Your Majesty, I want that~"

The moment the sound was uttered, several staff members around felt their bones turn to jelly.

Immediately afterwards, her aura changed, and her voice instantly became mature, languid, and slightly sexy.

"Ha, you think you're worthy of negotiating with me?"

Finally, she switched to her gentle, intellectual, and warm voice: "Sister, there's no need for such formality. Please rise."

Although the transitions between the various sounds may sound slightly awkward to professionals, and the technique may not be top-notch.

But the quality of the sound itself is genuinely beautiful!

Crisp, sweet, magnetic, gentle...

She can pull off various styles, and her emotions are full, making her highly immersive!

"Holy crap! Xu Yao! What an amazing voice you have!"

Lin Yue's eyes widened in disbelief. "Uncle! Did you hear that? That's amazing!"

She excitedly grabbed Lin Chuan's arm: "I was worried that my voice wouldn't fit the Empress's initial spoiled and arrogant nature and later growth, and I was thinking of finding a voice actor! Now it's perfect! There's a talent right in front of me!"

She looked at Xu Yao, her eyes shining: "Xu Yao, why don't you stop being idle and take on another job? How about you dub the Empress's voice for me? I'll pay you the market rate!"

"Huh?!"

Xu Yao was overjoyed, her heart pounding wildly.

Voice acting?! And for the female lead?!

This...this is like a pie falling from the sky!

She originally wanted to earn more money and improve herself, and now the opportunity has been delivered right to her doorstep!

Upon seeing this, Zhou Yang immediately stepped forward and recommended it to Lin Chuan with a smile.

"Director Lin, Xu Yao's voice is indeed very beautiful, and I've heard her take on jobs before. She's very dedicated and has a great grasp of emotions. I think the effect of having her dub Lin Yue will definitely be excellent."

He was trying to help Xu Yao get this job opportunity.

Lin Chuan stroked his chin and pondered for a moment.

Xu Yao's voice is indeed amazing, and if used well, it can definitely enhance the drama.

“Alright,” Lin Chuan nodded and looked at Xu Yao.

"Here's what you'll do: when you get back today, use the professional equipment you bought to record a few lines from the female lead at different times, and send them to me to hear how they sound."

"If it's really suitable, then this voice-over job will be yours!"

"Really?! Thank you, Director Lin!"

Xu Yao blushed with excitement and bowed repeatedly, saying, "I will definitely record it well!"

Great! Luckily I ordered a professional microphone and sound card yesterday!

She silently thanked herself for her wise decision and for the efficient SF Express delivery.

The order says it will be delivered to my door tonight!

This is truly like a pillow being delivered when you're sleepy; it's exactly what I wanted!

As the city lights begin to twinkle, the hustle and bustle gradually fades away.

Filming continued until 8 p.m.

Lin Chuan waved his hand, announcing the end of the workday, and then paid Zhou Yang and Xu Yao their wages.

Zhou Yang received exactly 15,000 yuan, no more, no less.

Xu Yao received 10,000 yuan, which she clutched in her hand, her fingertips trembling slightly.

This is the amount she used to earn by working herself to the bone for one or two months.

Back to the river-view penthouse.

Just then, the delivery guy called.

Xu Yao received the package and went home, eagerly opening it.

Brand new microphones, sound cards, pop filters... all sorts of professional equipment were laid out on the floor.

Like a child who has received a beloved toy, she excitedly followed the tutorial on her phone and clumsily but earnestly began to debug it.

Under the light, the lines of her focused profile were soft, and fine beads of sweat appeared on the tip of her nose.

Zhou Yang was leaning back on the sofa, but his gaze kept drifting towards the busy figure.

Seeing that she was struggling with the tangled threads, he put down his magazine and went over to lend a hand.

"Look at the markings above, this connector should be plugged in here..."

He had just reached out his hand when his phone in his pocket vibrated at an inopportune moment.

When I took it out, the words "Wang Miao" were flashing on the screen.

Zhou Yang raised an eyebrow almost imperceptibly, swiped to answer the call, turned on speakerphone, and spoke calmly.

"Hello, Miss Wang, what's up?"

On the other end of the phone, Wang Miao's voice sounded noticeably embarrassed and hurried.

"Uh... Zhou Yang, regarding the performance-based agreement we discussed before, we've discussed it and feel the risks are still a bit too high, so we're not going to do it anymore, okay?"

Zhou Yang's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile.

"Oh? So, what does Mr. Wang mean?"

He pretended not to know and spoke in a calm tone.

Wang Miao said helplessly, "We've decided to directly buy out the exclusive rights to your braised food recipe. As for the price, we'll add a little more sincerity and make it 510 million!"

"What do you think of this price? Zhou Yang, this is absolutely the top price on the market!"

Five hundred and ten million!

The number struck Xu Yao like a thunderclap, clearly reaching her ears as she listened intently to the equipment beside her.

Her hand jerked violently, almost ripping off the microphone cable she had just connected.

Five...five hundred and ten million?!

That braised pork recipe?!

Xu Yao's heart pounded wildly, an indescribable shock and sense of urgency instantly overwhelmed her!

Zhou Yang can easily earn astronomical sums that she never dared to dream of!

And what about myself?

The daily wage of 10,000 yuan that I just received seems as insignificant as dust in the face of 500 million!

No! We absolutely cannot fall too far behind!

She took a deep breath, and her eyes suddenly became incredibly determined.

She absolutely must get this voice-over job! She has to get it!

Zhou Yang had already anticipated Wang Miao's initiative to raise the price.

He chuckled lightly, with a hint of mockery: "Miss Wang is truly a straightforward person. If you had known this would happen, why did you go through all that trouble in the first place?"

Wang Miao on the other end of the phone was probably green with envy, but he still forced a smile.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Zhou is right. We didn't consider things carefully before. So, what do you think of this price, Brother Zhou?"

"Can."

Zhou Yang answered decisively, "Five hundred and ten million, deal."

"Very good!"

Wang Miao breathed a sigh of relief, "Then the payment method..."

"Is it difficult to pay in full at once?"

Zhou Yang countered with a question.
