Chapter 239 - AFK in the Recording Studio (1/2)

Chapter 239: AFK in the Recording Studio

“Done?”

Director Charlie and the vocal assistant weren’t present for the last two hours of the recording session. Of course, Lou Lan had reassured them by saying that Meng Fan could continue with the recording and they can check in periodically.

Because of Meng Fan’s previous performance quality and efficiency, Lou Lan, Charlie, and the assistant were not worried at all. They’d gone off to take a break and return to fix any minor issues later. They didn’t expect them to be finished when they returned, though.

They selected a few major plot points, and when the quality was assured, they felt there was no need to check the rest. Immediately, it was sent to the proofreading team.

In less than a day, Meng Fan managed to finish most of the major recording for “Nine Days”. The most important parts were complete, and with good quality as well. Naturally, Charlie was very happy, for he had finished recording all 12 episodes for season one of “Nine Days” that was scheduled to take a week in one day. Now, there are a few more days to engage in editing and filling. Because Meng Fan had voiced the male lead, they were able to finish everything several days ahead of schedule.

Speedy, but high quality. The client’s daddy will be very satisfied! And when such a powerful daddy hegemony like Xuan Wu animation was satisfied, they will definitely give you more work!

“I originally thought it would take you at least three days to complete them all. I didn’t think you’d be finished in just one day.” Charlie asked someone to send the recording to the editing department before asking Meng Fan. “Then what are your plans now, do you want the studio to find some more work for you?”

“I actually have something I need your help with, director.”

Meng Fan had already gone over the sentence several times in his mind. “Before, all my roles were small, and focused on video games, so the roles didn’t have that much coherence in the plot. But after voicing Luo Hao all day, I’ve learned a lot. I felt enlightened, but also found a lot of shortcomings. I understand it’s not enough to rely solely on the versatility of my voice and the power of imitation. Voice acting still needs to be studied.”

Anyone who heard Meng Fan’s words would have thought it was fake beyond compare. How can someone as skilled as you be declaring inadequacy? But if they believed him, then they would respect his modesty, professionalism, diligence, perseverance, and reaffirm the idea that “nobody can just succeed, everyone has to work hard” from the bottom of their hearts.

Meng Fan didn’t know which one of the above Charlie was feeling at the moment.

He continued, “So, I want to ask you if I could register a recording studio and keep practicing. Of course, if the studio needs any work done during the process, feel free to let me know too.”

There was only a time requirement left to satisfy [Studio Bug]. Meng Fan thought about paying to rent a recording studio since it was a rather convenient thing to find in Hangzhou, but it would be costly. But any problem that can be solved by money is not a problem. Only, it would reward him with +5 voice acting skills and +3 voice appeal, which will come all too sudden. If he could borrow a studio with the excuse of wanting to learn, he could say he’d been buffering during his training. Then, everyone would be surprised at the speed of his progress and have no time to ponder the other metaphysical attributes at play.

Nowadays, everyone thought Meng Fan was a voice acting genius. If they could see his hard work and effort, they would recognize him for his skill.

“That’s it? Do you have any other requests? Like do you want an assistant or a vocal technician?” Seeing Meng Fan shake his head, Charlie smiled. “That’s all huh, then you can have this studio, you’re familiar with it too. Either way, this studio was reserved for you to voice dub Luo Hao anyways.”

Just like that, Meng Fan became the CV in the Chocolate Factory that had his own recording studio.

He went home and came back again with his toiletries and art tube.

When Meng Fan returned, Charlie was still there. Seeing his equipment, Charlie couldn’t help but feel he was going too hard.

Meng Fan was hardcore indeed. Aside from going to the bathroom, he never left the studio. Time is precious! As for what he’d been doing inside… Heh. Drawing of course.

Fortunately for him, nobody came into the recording studio that had become exclusively his own. Only Lou Lan would occasionally come in if he had worked for him. Otherwise, anyone who entered would have to treat Meng Fan like a psychotic patient.

Recording studios are so stuffy, how could someone draw in there?!

He drew until 3:00 am, went to sleep, then went off to run a lap and eat some food before returning to the drawing desk.

But after solving the issue of stuffiness, a closed space like the recording studio was an optimal environment for inspiration and creativity. No wonder authors rushing their work would enclose themselves in dark rooms.

Of course, Meng Fan wasn’t drawing manga the entire time. As he drew, he was also increasing his voice acting abilities and continued to stream on time at night. To make it easier, he streamed about his voice acting.

There was a lot of voice acting content in the studio, as there were roles that hadn’t been recorded yet and several that have been. The video clips were also much easier to produce. With the help of professional equipment, all the netizens found the new method of streaming very refreshing. It also allowed the netizens to feel the charm and appeal of dubbing more intuitively.

“Robin, we’re here to get you! Leave the rest to us!”

“We’re going to die anyway, I want to die here!”

“Robin!”
