Chapter 255 - Classic Voice (2/2)

After entering, the two groups greeted each other.

Upon closer inspection, Bai Yueguang was radiating with goddess appeal, but as for the big shot emperor… Meng Fan had a brief impression of him playing a role in “Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasty.” It’s just that Meng Fan couldn’t clearly distinguish who — between him and Huang Haibin — had played Qin Shubao and who had played Luo Cheng.

Downstairs, at the main stage, Uncle Kai the host had begun announcing the third group. He then cued towards the guests upstairs and asked the audience to greet them.

Bai Yueguang imitated the character from the voice clip she’d dubbed and sent the audience a flying kiss. When it was the emperor’s turn, the audience at the main stage had already exploded. The appearance of the Royal Couple was very satisfying and surprising.

It was Bai Zhi’s turn next. Bai Zhi had always been very popular, and her performance on this show had gained her plenty of new fans. Her greeting also drew some passionate screams and applause.

Then came Meng Fan’s turn. Based on the script, he had to dub a character before introducing himself.

Uncle Kai said: “Bai Zhi, who is your collaborating guest?”

As soon as the mic went silent, a unified scream was heard from the audience. “Iron Tower!”

This surprised the host as well as the guests on the second floor.

“You guessed correctly that easily?”

“He’s popular!”

In the external stage, Yu Xiaoer, a child star who recently made her stunning debut on “Voice Legend” by making it to the finals, updated her seniors backstage. “He’s a very popular streamer in the Otaku category on 8th Station. In there, he’s probably more popular than you guys are.” She then looked towards the actor who played Li Yunlong. “Except for you, Mr Li.”

Meng Fan was slightly shocked as well. Did someone hire paid audience members to maintain the atmosphere?

Seeing it was his turn, he also began to dub the original voice track he’d prepared, wailing: “WOOOH! SU——PER! The master shipwright from One Piece, reporting for duty!”

This magical phrase mixed with the tongue rolls was no doubt Franky from “One Piece.” He had done so in Japanese as well. He’d chosen this character as his personal introduction because Franky’s nickname was the Iron Man, which was related to his own nickname of Iron Tower.

After this dubbing, everyone’s eyes lit up — from the contestants, to the host, to the audience members.

“Hello everyone, I’m Meng Fan.”

Meng Fan returned to his original voice. He didn’t need the increase in Voice Appeal to be charming.

The contestants on the external stage immediately gave him a thumbs up.

“As soon as an expert speaks, you’ll know if they’re real.”

“I’ve seen his voice dubs online. He’s incredible. He’s definitely a professional voice actor!”

“I’ve seen him, too! Everyone, be careful! Bai Zhi had come with the championship in mind!”

The audience on scene were evidently getting more excited. The applause was also very enthusiastic. Since the audience consisted mostly of young adults, there were several otakus present.

Once Uncle Kai announced the beginning of the “Classic Voice” segment for group three, the first contestant to step up was Bai Yueguang. Following her was the big shot emperor. The two performed incredibly, which caused a burst of applause from the audience.

Afterwards, the two descended to the main stage hand in hand and began their collaboration scene, which was equally wonderful.

It was then Bai Zhi’s turn. Bai Zhi was voicing scenes from “Qi Yue and An Sheng” and “Feng Shui.” The former had two roles, which was performed incredibly to say the least, while the latter scene brought tears to the eyes of all her audience.

“Next, please welcome Meng Fan and his ‘Classic Voice’, a clip from the film, ‘The Message.’”

“Everyone, please pay attention, ah!” Uncle Kai slyly chided.

In the dubbing studio on the second floor, Meng Fan approached the voice actor’s seat. He undid a button on his neckline and exhaled deeply. He would be lying if he wasn’t the least bit nervous.

Bai Zhi gave him a big thumbs up. “Relax. You’ll be OK.”
