Chapter 28

It was said that Shi Xuze, who made the wrong suggestion, was asked to write the twenty lines by himself, but in reality, each person thought of one line, and even Xiao Su got a chance to participate in the line modification.

Because the willingness to adapt was so great, Luo Jiayou had more than twenty lines of script in his hands in less than ten minutes.

He had no choice but to vote on the spot and select the top 20 as the final announcement lines for Yao Yingmo to record.

Yes, the two sentences that Yao Yingmo had already recorded were decided to be discarded because they were too boring.

Yao Yingmo didn't feel that his work was in vain.

The new lyrics are infinitely more interesting than the originals. Some have Yao Yingmo's motherly commentary, some adapt character quotes, and of course some simply play on popular internet memes. Anyway, every one of them is better than the original.

Sometimes having a large crowd can inspire different creative ideas.

As for the two sentences she had originally recorded, they were regarded as her test works for her first time stepping into the recording studio.

After deciding on the new twenty lines of dialogue and which episode each of them would appear in, Yao Yingmo once again returned to the microphone.

This time her recording was not so smooth.

Because there are more changes in the words, there are more emotions, and you need to have more priorities and a sense of conviction when speaking the lines.

As a novelist, Yao Yingmo has no difficulty understanding emotions; the difficult part is expressing them.

After all, she is not a professional performer and can easily feel ashamed.

"Teacher Zhaohe, you can do it." Shi Xuze said through the headset, "You just need to release a little more emotion."

Yao Yingmo closed his eyes and opened them again.

This time, she held on until the last word of her sentence fell before she burst into laughter.

As they looked outside, Luo Jiayou nodded at her, "No problem. The laughter didn't affect the previous sentence, so this one can be used."

Yao Yingmo breathed a sigh of relief.

Before starting the next sentence, Shi Xuze began to instruct: "Teacher, when you say this, imagine how you felt when you saw me opening the door wearing a mask on the day of the fire."

Speechless. I want to be angry but I can’t, I can only feel helpless.

Relying on this memory scene, Yao Yingmo only had to say it once.

Luo Jiayou nudged Shi Xuze with his elbow and teased, "I didn't expect you to be so dedicated to directing. You'd actually make such sacrifices to guide Mr. Zhaohe into the role."

Yao Yingmo didn't think it was such a big sacrifice. Shi Xuze's strength lay in the fact that he was able to accurately grasp her thoughts at the time and then use them in directing the play.

It seems that his observation skills are not inferior to hers as a novelist.

Yao Yingmo's approving expression could be seen clearly from outside the soundproof window. Shi Xuze didn't know the reason, but he knew that the praise was definitely directed at him.

So then he started thinking like crazy, and he could find the most appropriate scenario to guide Yao Yingmo in every sentence, so that she could grasp the feeling in the shortest time.

This also made the subsequent recordings like pressing the accelerator. As long as Yao Yingmo did not make any mistakes, almost every shot was passed in one go, setting a record for the lowest error rate for a newcomer entering the studio for the first time.

The last sentence was said by Shi Xuze, and Yao Yingmo was deeply suspicious.

Don’t believe all the filtered compliments from fans; they must be discounted.

For example, Shi Xuze's words should perhaps be changed to the lowest error rate of the original author when recording the announcement.

This is more credible.

Regardless, she completed her mission.

"Teacher, are you in a hurry to go back? Why don't you stay and take a look at the recording site? Our teacher Guangguang will be the first to record. The preview is that each person will only have two or three sentences, so it will be very quick."

As Yao Yingmo stepped out of the recording studio and wanted to say goodbye to everyone, he was stopped by Luo Jiayou.

Originally, she was eager to go back to write, but she had to admit that Luo Jiayou's proposal was somewhat attractive.

I only recorded two or three sentences, so it should be really quick.

"Okay, I'll stay and take a look."

After Yao Yingmo finished speaking, he thought of something and added, "I'll leave after I finish looking at the lake."

She still has to go home and write.

Yao Yingmo's words were somewhat controversial, causing a burst of laughter.

She didn't explain much, but took the monitoring headphones handed to her by Luo Jiayou.

Shi Xuze was already prepared inside.

"Just like usual, start when you are ready and we will cooperate with you." Luo Jiayou replaced the sound engineer and sat in front of the equipment.

Yao Yingmo took a look and listened to the recording engineer explain: "The two of them have their own tacit understanding. If Mr. Huguang has particularly high requirements for the recording results, Mr. Giraffe will do the recording."

Yao Yingmo didn’t quite understand, but she knew that the two of them had a tacit understanding.

So she quietly put on her monitoring headphones, turned to the soundproof window, and just saw Shi Xuze nodding.

After a breath, Shi Xuze spoke.

"So, you still have that elk."

At that moment, Yao Yingmo understood what the infectious power of sound was.

The entire recording studio fell into silence, with only Shi Xuze's short lines lingering in the ears, lingering for a long time.

In just a few seconds, the self in his voice disappeared, and the moment he spoke the lines, he was Song Han.

Ten years had passed, and he had long since given up hope. As long as he could see Liang Yue from afar and know that she was safe and healthy, he would be satisfied.

But Liang Yue never forgot him, and even treasured the elk he gave her, taking good care of it, and it still shines as new ten years later.

Song Han couldn't tell whether he was feeling more happy or more guilty.

What really made him panic was a crystal teardrop dripping on the corner of the elk's antler, and the reflected light pierced his heart.

He was almost speechless, and the myriad thoughts in his mind were reduced to just one sentence: "So, you still have that elk."

Shi Xuze perfectly reproduced the complex emotions contained in Song Han's words. Even without listening to the context, one could understand that this simple sentence was the first sigh in ten years.

Hu Guang is definitely worthy of his title as a top CV.

"Song Han..." Yao Yingmo murmured, "I chose the right person."

She was sitting next to Luo Jiayou, and the microphone transmitted her mumbling feelings faithfully into Shi Xuze's headphones.

Then Yao Yingmo saw Shi Xuze smiling with his big white teeth, happy like a silly child.

Good, she's out of the show now.

Everyone else also left the show.

Before Yao Yingmo could recover from the huge contrast, Shi Xuze had already turned back to the screen in front of him, ready to record the next line.

Shi Xuze, who is the culprit whether he is entering or leaving the role, has no difficulty in entering or leaving the role. He can be laughing proudly in the previous second and crying and saying sorry in the next second.

Yao Yingmo was shocked to see two lines of tears flowing from his eyes, wetting his collar.

She thought only film and television actors needed to master the skill of crying in one second, but she didn't expect that voice actors could do it too.

Indeed, the effects of real crying and fake crying are very different.

But can a normal person really laugh and cry in one second?

Will such emotional changes affect physical health?

Many questions popped up in Yao Yingmo's mind, but she didn't ask any of them.

There is no doubt about Shi Xuze's professionalism in dubbing. Now she just needs to hand over her work to him with confidence.

Shi Xuze said the three lines used in the trailer once each and then the recording was completed.

The speed was incredibly fast, but no one raised any objections because they were listening there and could understand why he was able to get it done in one take.

Yao Yingmo also knew how fast Luo Jiayou meant by "very fast".

Shi Xuze walked out, and Luo Jiayou stood up to make room for him. "Come, I'll give you my seat."

Yao Yingmo thought he was going to start recording the next role, but he saw Shi Xuze putting on headphones and listening to the three sentences he had just recorded.

After listening to it, he took off his headphones and went in again, "I'll record two more versions, you guys can listen to them."

"Okay." Luo Jiayou turned to Yao Yingmo and added, "He does this a lot. Teacher, you can give me some advice on which version is better."

The second time, Shi Xuze made a slight adjustment to his speaking speed, speaking more slowly when he was sentimental and faster when he was happy.

This was commented on by a dubbing teacher among the crowd.

Yao Yingmo couldn't hear such a subtle difference in speaking speed. She could only hear that the emotion in the second speech was stronger than the first.

But if she had to choose, she would still choose the first recording by Shi Xuze.

Song Han is actually very introverted and generally doesn't express his emotions too strongly.

After recording this time, Shi Xuze did not come out to listen, and started talking about the third version directly.

This time, it was just as Yao Yingmo thought, and all his emotions were withdrawn.

She didn't understand the technical content that the dubbing teacher next to her was praising, but she really liked her understanding of the characters in this version.

It is the same as her understanding of Song Han when she was writing.

The suppressed emotions made every word sound more painful.

As the sentence ended, a heavy air filled the recording studio.

Shi Xuze didn't wait for the "OK" from outside, so he waited silently.

Finally, Luo Jiayou was the first to break the silence. He took off one of his headphones and tilted his head. "Teacher Zhaohe, which version do you prefer?"

"The last version." Yao Yingmo answered affirmatively.

"You're worthy of being Teacher Hu Guang, you're amazing." The speaker was Tang Yu, the voice actor of the heroine Liang Yue.

Yao Yingmo turned around and found that her eyes were red. She was obviously touched by Shi Xuze's superb acting skills and was brought into Liang Yue's identity.

The voice actors are all monsters. Hu Guang is especially bad.

Yao Yingmo remembered what Li Yicheng had said when he was promoting the product to her, and now she finally understood a little.

Being serious and professional will make you shine.

When Shi Xuze finished recording the remaining two sentences, he saw Yao Yingmo's eyes shining with admiration.

Shi Xuze subconsciously straightened his chest.

"You recorded it very well." Yao Yingmo praised him generously. "I feel very relieved to leave Song Han to you."

Shi Xuze smiled confidently, "I will definitely make Baby's Breath into a superb radio drama."

Others followed suit and praised him, making Shi Xuze laugh even happier.

It was not until Luo Jiayou, the only person in this space who had no filter for him, spoke that everyone's attention shifted back to today's recording work.

"Okay, next we're recording Liang Yue's lyrics. Are you ready, Tang Yu?"

Tang Yu had unknowingly approached Yao Yingmo and spared no effort to explain to Yao Yingmo how Hu Guang had become the white moonlight of many new voice actors in their dubbing circle at such a young age.

It was only when Yao Yingmo reminded her that she realized it was time to go into the studio to record.

"Come on, I'm available anytime."

The people at the control table returned to Shi Xuze and the sound engineer.

Yao Yingmo rarely saw Shi Xuze with such a serious expression.

He stared intently at the screen, his eyes sharp.

Yao Yingmo originally planned to leave after listening to Shi Xuze's recording, but at this moment, she decided to stay a little longer.

"Stop, go slower here."

"Liang Yue hadn't realized at that time that she liked Song Han, so she didn't show joy the moment she was confessed to. She was surprised at first, then a little confused, and finally she suddenly realized that deep down she was actually very happy."

"It's like chocolate wrapped in jam. The outer layer is bitter, and you have to go to the innermost layer to taste the sweetness, but the sweetness is doubled."

"Come on, again."

"Very good, this sentence is passed."

Shi Xuze is also very serious when he is a dubbing director, which is completely different from his working state when he is a dubbing actor.

Yao Yingmo could feel that he was quite nervous in this state, but the nervousness did not affect his work. Instead, it provided him with enough adrenaline, keeping his reaction speed very fast.

There was a very obvious difference in Tang Yu's performance when speaking the lines before and after Shi Xuze started to guide her.

Tang Yu had just finished recording when there was a knock on the studio door.

Xiao Su glanced at his phone and opened the door.

Sister Chang stood outside the door, seemingly having no intention of entering. "Let me ask, are you guys going to fight to the end today, or are you going to take a half-hour break and come out for lunch?"

Fight to the end?

Yao Yingmo thought of Shi Xuze who fainted from hunger. It seemed that his condition at that time was caused by hunger.

It's no wonder he achieved such success as he worked so hard that he forgot to eat and sleep, but it does take a toll on his health.

Shi Xuze was already in an excited state at work and was reluctant to stop midway, but when he caught a glimpse of Yao Yingmo's disapproving look, he remembered that she might not be used to their work pace.

So he swallowed the words back, and to everyone's surprise, he said, "Take a break. We'll eat in the conference room and continue after dinner."

Sister Chang obviously didn't expect that he would agree to take a break. She was stunned for more than ten seconds before she came to her senses after Xiao Su winked at her.

"Okay, the lunch boxes will be delivered in fifteen minutes. You guys clean up first and remember to wash your hands."

"OK."

Everyone began to move towards the meeting room. Yao Yingmo lagged behind and walked beside Shi Xuze.

"I'm going back after dinner."

I finally found a breakpoint. If I don't leave now, the recording will end before I know it.

She will have a hard time explaining this to the readers.

Shi Xuze was also very understanding and did not try to invite her to stay. He just asked, "Do you need me to give you a ride?"

Yao Yingmo shook his head and refused, "No, I can go back by myself."

She didn't disturb the crew's recording work.

"Okay, teacher, please be careful on the road. The sun is a bit strong at noon. You can borrow an umbrella at the door to block the sun."

"good."

Lunch was not the kind of boxed lunch Yao Yingmo had imagined. There were no greasy vegetables, soft white rice, or fried meat dishes.

In front of me were boiled vegetables, Shufei chicken breast, and purple rice.

It's even healthier than what she cooks for herself at home.

Is this the reason why Shi Xuze was excited by the smell of an ordinary sandwich in the morning?

Shi Xuze noticed the surprise in Yao Yingmo's eyes and took the initiative to explain, "This isn't a healthy meal for weight loss. It's because during the recording period, everything we eat should be as simple and clean as possible to avoid affecting the sound quality. Of course, it's better not to eat at all and stay in the same state until the recording is finished, and then eat after that."

"Sister Chang said that you seem to be someone who knows how to maintain good health, so I'll serve you this. If you want something more flavorful, you can also choose to eat the same thing as the recording engineer."

Yao Yingmo looked towards the other end of the conference room. The people who were only responsible for behind the scenes received ordinary boxed lunches, the kind that would make people sick of the taste after just two bites when they were the hungriest.

"I'll just eat this, very attentively."

"Actually, these are all cooked by Sister Chang herself. She always takes good care of us during every work period. The sound engineers eat the boxed meals ordered from outside. The calorie bombs give them enough energy to stay up late editing."

Yao Yingmo looked at Luo Jiayou, and what he was holding in his hand was indeed an ordinary lunch box.

"The meals that Sister Chang cooks are very healthy, but they are too healthy and have no taste. Teacher, you just have to eat them as they are," said Shi Xuze.

Yao Yingmo took a bite. The purple rice was just the right hardness and softness. If you chewed it carefully, you could taste its natural sweetness. The moisture in the chicken breast was also locked in, so it didn't taste dry at all.

Apart from the lack of seasoning, every dish in this healthy meal was a testament to the chef's skill.

"It's delicious," she said.

After making sure that she could accept it, Shi Xuze ate his lunch with peace of mind.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was relaxed, with people chatting while eating. Of course, there were also people huddled in the corner checking their phones.

"By the way, Mr. Zhaohe, how are you going to the comic convention next Saturday?" Shi Xuze asked casually.

Yao Yingmo bit his chopsticks and was stunned for a few seconds before he remembered that he had promised to hold a book signing event at the comic convention, and that Huguang would participate in the same book signing event.

"Let's take a ride," Yao Yingmo said. "Maybe we can take the publishing house's car."

"Would you like to take a ride with me?"

Yao Yingmo: “?”

Shi Xuze explained, "The studio has a driver to pick you up. I thought we could go together since we live next door. Besides the driver, we also have a makeup artist and assistant. If you haven't arranged your makeup yet, why not ask our team to help you?"

Shi Xuze is indeed a person with rich experience in autograph sessions. He even thought of the arrangements for her makeup and assistant.

Yao Yingmo's makeup artist, costume designer and assistant are all the responsibility of the publishing house, but it is very likely that this person is Li Yicheng, who plays multiple roles.

When she woke up this morning, she saw that Li Yicheng had sent a message to confirm her size.

In order to prevent Li Yicheng from working so hard, she was somewhat tempted by Shi Xuze's proposal.

But she still had her sense, "This is taking advantage of you."

"It's okay, teacher. As a man, I can put on makeup pretty quickly anyway. Can you just consider it as fulfilling a small wish of mine as a fan?"

Yao Yingmo already leaned towards him, but didn't agree immediately. "I'll ask my editor and tell you later."

"OK."
