Chapter 289 I Want to Hear Your Voice
Qiao Xing and his team held a meeting and discussed this matter seriously.
Hiring dedicated voice actors would be a huge expense.
It's better to send your own people; it will save you money and a lot of trouble.
This idea wasn't actually Qiao Xing's idea.
It was Tian Guo who brought it up during a meeting.
At the time, Tian Guo casually remarked that she felt Shen Boyan's voice was quite fitting for one of the male protagonists' character settings.
Qiao Xing had an idea right then and there.
If Shen Boyan can do it, then Qin Ce can definitely do it too.
Qin Ce didn't know much about the game Qiao Xing was making, but since Qiao Xing asked him to help, he had no reason not to agree. However, the thought of a group of women fantasizing about his voice was a bit hard to accept.
He stared intently at Qiao Xing. "Do you think I'll agree?"
...Highly unlikely.
Qiao Xing looked at him expectantly. Although she knew from his reaction that he definitely wouldn't agree, Qiao Xing still asked, "Then, will you agree?"
"No." He coldly rejected Qiao Xing.
This was the first time in a long time that Qin Ce had rejected Qiao Xing's request without any hesitation.
As expected, Qiao Xing hung his head helplessly. "Okay, I'll think of another way."
"I can pay for you to hire a voice actor."
"What's the point? I just want to hear your voice."
Qin Ce raised an eyebrow, immediately recognizing that she was faking it; sometimes he simply couldn't understand what she was thinking.
Why ask him to do voice acting when you don't want his investment? What's the difference between these two situations?
But he still couldn't bear to disappoint her. "What do you want me to do?"
Qiao Xing looked at him in surprise, "You mean?"
Qin Ce asked expressionlessly, "Are you sure I can do it?"
Qiao Xing quickly grabbed her phone. "I have a few scripts here, specially designed for the four male leads. This one is yours. Read it aloud and record it. I'll take it to the company tomorrow, and after we've debugged it, Shen Boyan and the others will put it in the game and see how it goes."
If the results are satisfactory, they can find a suitable studio to handle the subsequent voice-over work.
While they can find their own voice actors, when it comes to professional matters, they still need professionals.
The male protagonist's voice is crucial to the entire game, and since these people aren't professionals, we'd need to get someone from a studio to ensure the sound quality.
Qin Ce glanced at the document, then looked up at Qiao Xing, "What you thought of?"
"Yes, they all felt they couldn't do it, so I had to do it myself."
Actually, it wasn't just Qiao Xing who came up with these ideas on her own. She doesn't have that much writing talent; she mostly found inspiration online and wrote them individually based on each person's style.
The male lead Qin Ce is to be paired with is a doctor who is not only highly skilled in medicine but has also won many awards. The key point is that this doctor is aloof and taciturn, which perfectly matches Qin Ce.
Hearing that she wrote the copy, Qin Ce was slightly less resistant.
Qiao Xing turned on the recording function on her phone and got ready.
But Qin Ce read through the text and then frowned. "Do I really have to read it?"
"Yes, how can we know if you fit the character design if we don't test the compatibility between your voices and the male lead's voice first?"
"No." Qin Ce looked puzzled. "What I mean is, is it really necessary to read this part?"
I don't know where Qiao Xing got this kind of copywriting from; it's a bit like the kind of melodramatic literature written by kids who've just entered puberty.
But Qiao Xing didn't feel anything was wrong. She searched online for a long time and lost a lot of brain cells before coming up with these four paragraphs that fit them and the four male protagonists.
In the end, Qin Ce compromised.
The text is short; it can be read in less than half a minute.
After Qin Ce finished reading, he looked at Qiao Xing, whose mouth was slightly open, her face full of disbelief.
"What's wrong?" Qin Ce asked.
"Your voice is such a perfect fit!" Qiao Xing couldn't help but give Qin Ce a thumbs up.
They were just trying it out, since they had no experience in this industry.
Qiao Xing even considered that as long as the pairing wasn't too outrageous, it would be fine.
But she never expected that Qin Ce would be such a good match.
This was a wonderful surprise.
Seeing her excited expression, Qin Ce frowned slightly and asked doubtfully, "Is that all?"
Qin Ce didn't actually try to control his voice; he just read the dubbing in his normal speaking voice.
Therefore, he couldn't understand why Qiao Xing was so happy.
If that's all there is to it, then aren't their game's requirements a bit too low?
"Alright, alright! I'll take it to the company tomorrow to test it out. If the effects in the game are good, then we can start the official voice acting!"
After hearing Qin Ce's voice acting, Qiao Xing felt much more at ease.
She quickly asked Qin Ce to contact Han Yan and Yang Han, hoping they could also record the script so she could take it to the company together.
Han Yan had just arrived home when he received Qin Ce's call; he entered the house while still on the phone.
"Voice acting? Or are you the one who voices the male lead in your wife's game?"
"Um."
Han Yan seemed to have learned something very new, "But I've never done voice acting before. I remember this kind of thing requires a high level of vocal skill, right? Do you think I can do it?"
Qin Ce had the phone on speakerphone, and Qiao Xing was listening nearby. When she heard Han Yan's words, she quickly said, "President Han, you're too modest. Your voice is better than some professional voice actors. You can definitely do it!"
Qiao Xing frantically flattered Han Yan, as if afraid he would refuse.
Qin Ce raised his eyelids, glanced at Qiao Xing indifferently, and his expression was cold.
Even though it's for work, is it inappropriate to praise other men in front of him?
Qiao Xing didn't notice Qin Ce's gaze and continued to speak to Han Yan, "President Han, you don't need to worry. This is also our first time making a game of this style. In addition, when we took on this game, it was already a half-finished product. Our goal is to make it a success and release it smoothly, so we don't have very high requirements for many aspects. You can rest assured."
Han Yan was flattered by Qiao Xing's words, and since it was Qiao Xing's job, as Qin Ce's good partner and brother, he naturally had no reason not to support him.
He agreed without hesitation, "Okay, just tell me what to do."
"I'll have Qin Ce send you a script. Just record it and send it to him. This is for testing purposes. If it works, we'll be using it regularly from now on!"
"OK".
Han Yan hung up the phone.
Qin Ce quickly sent over the text. Han Yan opened it and thought, "Wow, it's quite artistic."
Qiao Xing didn't have Han Yan's WeChat, so she sent him a message directly using Qin Ce's phone.
[Mr. Han, you need to voice an illustrator with a friendly and approachable personality. Just use this text as a guide and improvise accordingly.]
Han Yan raised an eyebrow. This was the first time he had done something like this, and he felt it was even more challenging than discussing projects or handling documents.
It made him a little nervous.
But in order to help Qiao Xing, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.
He cleared his throat and then opened the recording app.
The first recording went a bit wrong; he forgot a few lines. The second time, he felt something was off and chose to re-record. The third time, he finally found his rhythm, but then he got stuck again.
