The next day, Nan Qu and Nan Xing woke up in the hotel. After having breakfast together, they walked to the Wings of Sound Studio.
The studio was in an office building, and it was a young girl named Bi Ying who led her up to the building.
Nan Qu met Director Zhao Guoliang, whom she had been in contact with on WeChat, for the first time.
Director Zhao smiled at Nan Qu and asked, "When did you arrive in Beijing? It's rush hour now, is there traffic?"
Nan Qu replied politely, "It's alright. I arrived yesterday, found a hotel nearby, and walked here today."
Director Zhao laughed: "Later, add the contact information of the young lady who brought you in. Send her the expense record, and she will reimburse you."
Nan Qu didn't stand on ceremony: "Thank you so much."
Nan Qu brought Nan Xing with her, and Director Zhao naturally saw them: "Isn't the child in school?"
Nan Qu explained, "Yes, I just got divorced and haven't found a good school for my child yet."
Zhao Guoliang was taken aback upon hearing this: "Sorry, I didn't know."
Nan Qu smiled: "It's okay, I don't mind anymore."
As they spoke, the two went to the workroom together. Zhao Guoliang gave the South District a script: "You can try it out first. You don't have any experience in animation, so try practicing first and then familiarize yourself with the script. Relax, you don't have many lines. We'll only record your lines today, we have plenty of time."
Nan Qu quickly took the script and started reading. Nan Xing sat there obediently, reading a book. As for the book's content, it was a book on traditional Chinese medicine theory that Nan Qu had found in her spatial storage.
She first quickly glanced at the entire story, then read through what she was going to read, looking up any unfamiliar words and any controversial ones.
After reading it through again, only when I felt there were no problems did I start to analyze the characters' emotions in conjunction with the plot.
Zhao Guoliang is right. The Southern Song does not contain much content; it is just a cannon fodder character that appears in the initial three episodes.
However, the princess character is very likable; she is a very opinionated woman.
Whenever Nanqu sees this character, she can't help but associate her with Taya.
After confirming that the lines were correct, Nanqu practiced them twice more while following the video. Only after everything was completely fine did she begin the actual dubbing.
Perhaps because she had a character to compare with, or perhaps because the original owner had a solid foundation, the entire voice acting was completed in one take.
Zhao Guoliang was overjoyed: "I thought we'd be recording until very late today, but it's already finished ahead of schedule. The employees should thank you now. You can let everyone leave work early."
After Nan Qu thanked everyone, Bi Ying came in from outside holding something in her hand. She looked at everyone curiously and asked, "Is this over?"
Zhao Guoliang said happily, "Yes, they all went perfectly in one go, very smoothly."
Bi Ying waved the thing in her hand: "I was going to give the access pass to Sister Nan, but it looks like I won't need it."
Zhao Guoliang said with a smile, "You should coordinate with Nan Qu, transfer the money to her, and reimburse her for her expenses over the past two days."
Nan Qu thanked the two of them again, added Bi Ying on WeChat, and sent her the expense records for the past two days. She said she needed to settle the bill, so Nan Qu left first.
While Nan Qu was having dinner with Nan Xing at a nearby restaurant, she heard a notification on her phone that a bank card had been credited to her account.
Nan Qu was shocked to see that the amount was five thousand, and hurriedly sent a message to Bi Ying.
Soon, Bi Ying replied: "Sister, Director Zhao gave me this money. He's very happy."
Since it was given to her by someone else and she wasn't rich, she naturally accepted it: "Please thank Director Zhao for me."
Nan Qu had originally booked a two-day hotel stay, anticipating that filming might go on until late, but since it ended early, she didn't make things difficult for herself. She simply took Nan Xing out to have some fun again.
The next morning, Nanqu packed her belongings and took Nanxing home.
It was past afternoon when I got home.
To Nan Qu's surprise, when she brought Nan Xing back, she found that Zhao Yi had already cleaned up her entire house.
The kitchen, bathroom, and toilet are all ready. There's no one home at all.
Nan Qu hurriedly called Zhao Yi.
"Uncle Zhao, I am Nan Qu."
Zhao Yi, who was still half asleep from his afternoon nap, quickly said when he heard it was Nan Qu, "Ah, oh, it's Xiao Qu. You're back? Wait a minute, Uncle will come find you."
He hung up the phone after saying that.
Nan Qu found it somewhat amusing, but after putting down her luggage, she waited for Zhao Yi to arrive.
The two houses were just a few steps apart, and Zhao Yi quickly arrived at Nan Qu's house, then handed over the bill for all the materials he had purchased to Nan Qu.
Nan Qu didn't even look at it and said directly, "Uncle, just tell me how much it is. I've seen how good you've been to me these past few days. If I can't trust anyone else, why can't I trust you?"
Zhao Yi smiled happily, but still said, "It is what it is. Take a look and make sure there are no problems before we talk about the money."
Nanqu had no choice but to take a quick look at the total cost, which came to over 20,000 yuan.
Then Zhao Yi said, "It took three days to complete, with ten workers in total. Each worker earned 200 yuan a day. Including these materials, the total is 26,000 yuan. You already paid a 10,000 yuan deposit, so you only need to pay the remaining 16,000 yuan."
Nan Qu transferred 20,000 yuan to him, and Zhao Yi's eyes widened when he saw it: "Why transfer so much? I want to transfer more back!"
Nan Qu chuckled and explained, "Uncle, you didn't include yourself among the workers you mentioned, did you? Besides, you paid for everything yourself, including the roof of the bathroom and the materials for the kitchen expansion. I know all that."
Zhao Yi objected: "That's only worth a few dollars. Besides, even including that, what you're giving is already too much."
Nan Qu hurriedly said, "I haven't finished speaking yet. I saw that you sell home appliances in your store. My family is missing a washing machine. Could you help me choose a good one? If you have any extras, consider it my treat to drinks for you, Uncle."
Zhao Yi was delighted to hear this: "It's no problem at all. I'll bring it to you in a bit."
Soon, Zhao Yi arrived at Nan Qu's house on his electric tricycle. To Nan Qu's disbelief, Zhao Yi not only delivered a fully automatic washing machine, but also a small television set. He even brought a refrigerator.
Nan Qu asked anxiously, "Uncle, why did you send so many things?"
Zhao Yi chuckled, "It's alright, these are just leftover stock from my shop, and they're not expensive. Just make do with them for now. I'll get you an air conditioner later!"
Nan Qu quickly refused, saying, "You can't do that. I'll find books to buy when I earn money."
Zhao Yi waved his hand: "Oh, why buy anything? I'll get you a second-hand one to use for now. We can get a new one when things are better."
Nan Qu smiled and agreed, but in her heart she thought that since she had almost finished dealing with her own affairs, she should just buy a new one. She couldn't always take advantage of others.
