Liu An Hua Ming decided to give the lead role of the voice actor drama to Wen Zichuan...
On the last day of July, Wen Zichuan received a call from Lu Dao. Lu Dao cried for a long time through the receiver.
He said that there was no future for voice actors and he had decided to give up, but he also regretted it and said that he shouldn't have treated him like that before. If Wen Zichuan hadn't put 6,000 yuan in his pocket, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to survive a day.
After being fired by the training institution, Wen Zichuan had a hard time finding a job. He was in no mood to comfort Lu Dao, so he threw his phone aside, hung up after Lu Dao finished crying, and bought a train ticket back to Fengbo.
Lin Hanzhen hadn't seen her son for half a year. Seeing that he had lost a lot of weight, she felt very distressed and bought a lot of vegetables to nourish him.
She had a weak constitution and was afraid of the cold, so even in the hot summer, there was no air conditioning at home. A plastic fan that had been used for many years was spinning "squeaky". The mother and son ate dinner together in the familiar sound.
"Xiaochuan, are you not doing well in Dengyuan? Every time you call your mother, you only report good news and not bad news." Lin Hanzhen picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs for him.
"Mom, don't worry. Didn't I tell you? The place where I worked before wasn't doing well and went bankrupt. Now that I'm changing jobs, it's normal to work a little harder." Wen Zichuan comforted her.
How could Lin Hanzhen not worry? She didn't have much ability and didn't have many connections, so she couldn't help her son and could only worry at home.
"When you were in college, you had some good classmates and friends. I heard you mentioned before that you had a roommate, right? What are they like? Can they help you with work?"
"It's only been two years since they graduated. They can't even take care of themselves, so how can they help me? Besides, if I owe someone a favor, I have to pay it back."
"That's right. Let's just work hard and strive for our own success. We don't owe anyone anything."
"I'm just a little tired of looking for a job, so I came back to rest for a few days."
Lin Hanzhen was of course very happy that her son was back. She was busy picking up dishes for Wen Zichuan, hoping that he would eat more, stay healthy, and be more confident when working hard outside.
In Wen Zichuan's eyes, his mother is a very gentle person. She is beautiful, kind, and likes reading. The bedtime stories she told him when he was a child were never the same. She always keeps the house spotless, and there are seasonal flowers blooming on the balcony.
But he didn't understand why his father would give up such a good woman and leave without any news for more than ten years.
"Mom, I want to ask a question, please don't be angry."
"Hmm? I'm not mad, just ask."
"How did you end up with my dad?"
A subtle flicker of disappointment crossed Lin Hanzhen's eyes, but she quickly composed herself and smiled, "Mom answered you when we were little. Your dad and I used to be colleagues. While on an inspection trip, we were trapped in the mountains due to a landslide. Life in the mountains was very difficult, and Mom wasn't in good health. Your dad took care of her. We supported each other, and over time, we got together."
"Since you've been through hardships together, why would he abandon you?" Wen Zichuan said sadly.
"Everyone has their own aspirations." Lin Hanzhen looked at Wen Zichuan. Her son was now 25 years old and looked more and more like his father. "Your father wants something more. I can't help him and will only be a burden to him."
"He's being irresponsible." Wen Zichuan felt upset. If given a choice, which child wouldn't want to live in a harmonious and happy family with both parents?
Lin Hanzhen understood Wen Zichuan and knew that he had a tough character since childhood and would not back down until the difficulties were solved. Now that he said that he had not found a job and wanted to come back to rest, it was definitely not as simple as "wanting to rest".
"Xiaochuan, you ask this because you have someone you like?" she asked tentatively.
"No, I have no money and no job, who would like me?" Wen Zichuan said with his head down.
"You are still young. Young people should work together and things will get better in the future."
"What if, I mean what if, the other person's family is much better off than mine? What if they don't need to struggle? There are rich people everywhere in Dengyuan, right?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Hanzhen knew that he was feeling inferior, and she also blamed herself for not being able to provide him with a good family background. She felt a little guilty, thought for a moment, and said, "Mom has a distant relative in Dengyuan. She comes from a good family and has a respectable job. If you have made up your mind and want to be with someone, Mom will ask her to help match you up and save our reputation."
Lin Hanzhen's words "Who do you want to be with?" clearly did not refer to anyone, but Cheng Sizhou's figure kept appearing in Wen Zichuan's mind. He thought about how he had lost his sense of propriety and reserve in front of him, and also about his meticulous care and undisguised praise for him.
"Didn't you say you don't owe anyone a favor?"
"That's fine, Xiaochuan has to work hard and strive for it."
Wen Zichuan suddenly realized that he seemed to have let something slip, and he didn't know if his mother really thought he had a girlfriend.
"I'm done eating. I'll go wash the dishes." He covered up awkwardly.
At night, Wen Zichuan lay in bed, unable to sleep.
In the darkness, he clicked on the silly Shiba Inu avatar and typed, "I've thought it over," before deleting it again and again. At midnight, he finally deleted it word by word.
A cheap rent of 1,000 yuan a month and an interesting and reliable roommate—who would agree to such an offer without hesitation? But he couldn't.
Wen Zichuan could sense a huge chasm between him and Cheng Sizhou. He was living on a shoestring, while Cheng Sizhou was warm and enthusiastic and didn't care much about money. If they shared a house, Cheng Sizhou would definitely deliberately shoulder more of the expenses, which would accumulate over time and become an immeasurable amount.
But subjective desires are hard to be swayed by reason. He'd never been in a relationship, and didn't even have many close friends. He didn't know how to deal with this urge to get close to someone. He was afraid he was simply attracted by the "cheap rent," and he was also afraid he was a despicable person, trying to use Cheng Sizhou to gain a foothold in a big city like Dengyuan.
They had only met twice, and he couldn't let himself get bogged down in this mess.
Compared to the bustling and bustling city of Dengyuan, Fengbo is a more gentle and delicate small city. From the long streets and ancient alleys, the occasional murmur of Pingtan music, blending with the clear, shallow, winding water, stirs up ripples in the hearts of those who leave.
Before leaving, Wen Zichuan told Lin Hanzhen to take the medicine prescribed by the doctor on time, take good care of herself, get enough rest, and call him immediately if anything happens.
Lin Hanzhen had also hesitated whether taking Wen Zichuan back to Fengbo was a good choice, but compared to being tossed around in the whirlpool of interests, the current stability and peace was more precious.
At the busy railway station, Wen Zichuan's cell phone rang as soon as he passed through the security gate.
"Hello, Su Zhuo?"
"Teacher Wen, how are you doing recently?"
"I'm fine. What's up?"
"On behalf of the Second Voice, I invite you to participate in the offline performance of the voice actor drama "Hao Xue Xing Ge". Would you like to learn more?"
"Voice actor drama?"
"Yes, this is the voice actor drama created by our Second Voice, and the plot is derived from Seeking the Voice and Asking for Destiny. You previously voiced the young prince Ning Lie and are very familiar with the background of the story, so we would like to invite you to participate in this offline performance again."
"When is the show?"
"Next weekend, the performance will be at the Snowbridge Theatre."
"Isn't it too hasty to prepare in just one week?"
"Teacher Wen, we have invited you after thorough consideration and discussion. If you have time, you can come to Second Voice tomorrow to talk to the chief producer and chief screenwriter."
"Okay, I'll go over tomorrow. Thank you."
"Thank you, Teacher Wen. I won't bother you anymore. See you tomorrow."
Su Zhuo on the other end of the phone put down his phone and nodded at Yan Dantong. Yan Dantong was in a good mood and also gave him a thumbs up.
After the Voice Actor Festival, Su Zhuo was depressed for a long time because of the comments on the Internet. It was not until "Hao Xue Xing Ge" entered the production cycle that he devoted himself to the work and gradually regained his confidence.
With only one week left before the performance, the entire Second Sound can be described as a state of chaos.
The original creative cycle was only one month, but in reality, whether it was the script, art, or music, it was extremely difficult to pass Chen Yilan's review. The production department and several outsourced teams worked overtime for two full months to barely finalize the draft. If they didn't get a break, they would probably die suddenly.
The situation in the marketing department next door is not much better.
Huang Yun has been drinking coffee one after another since he came in the morning. The relevant materials and publicity schedules have been decided, but as long as there is still one ticket that has not been sold, he has to do everything he can to perform a pole dance in women's clothes and post it online to call on fans to buy tickets.
Relatively speaking, the busiest time for the Activities Department has not yet begun, but the reason why Yan Dantong had to bring everyone to work overtime was that Teacher Zheng Tu was no longer performing.
Zheng Tu is very popular and is on par with An Jie in the circle.
According to President Jin's "traffic theory", An Jie and Zheng Tu must both be the leading actors. Compared with the general radio dramas that select actors by the plot, the biggest advantage of Di Er Sheng is "writing the drama by the role".
Therefore, at the beginning of the script creation, the Second Voice's writing team fully considered "customization" to ensure that the actors' voices match the characters to the greatest extent possible.
However, what Chen Yilan and Huang Yun worried about still happened.
Even though the actors and teachers were very cooperative and had made reservations three months in advance, and most of the schedules were adjusted, the theater was not available. Mr. Jin's stubborn obsession with his own way led to several setbacks during the coordination process, and he was ultimately forced to change the performance venue to Xueqiao.
Although Xueqiao is not far from the lights, it will still lose a group of audiences who do not want to cross the city to watch the performance. If the news that Teacher Zheng Tu will not perform is announced at this time, the platform will have to arrange two people to handle the ticket refunds.
Having said that, Zheng Tu had said at the beginning that there was a high probability of scheduling problems, but Mr. Jin did not believe it and signed a "gentleman's agreement" with him. As long as he informed him ten days before the performance, he would not have to pay any breach of contract fees.
According to Murphy's Law, when you worry about something happening, it becomes more likely to happen.
After Zheng Tu dropped out of the performance, President Jin immediately issued an order, asking all departments to formulate response plans as soon as possible. It was too late to change the script now, so they had to find someone to replace Zheng Tu and play his role.
Chen Yilan and Yan Dantong discussed it and decided to choose Wen Zichuan as the person to replace Zheng Tu.
