Chapter 222: Godlike Efficiency
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
There was a light rain overnight, so the surface of the ground was still wet in the morning. The air was humid, and it contained a hint of coolness, like the first wind of winter, and it made people instinctively tighten their clothes.
The black magic sneakers were very slip-resistant, so ng Fan wasn’t worried about falling and followed his regular regin. There were very few people running in the morning, and even less in this weather. ng Fan could let loose and run freely.
From the neighborhood to the entrance of Xizi lake, ng Fan’s pathway had been precalculated. It was about 22 km and was more than enough for a half marathon. It left enough distance remaining for him to jog for a while and walk back.
With his increased endurance, strength, and speed, ng Fan could increase his pace within 5 minutes to complete the half marathon. At the 12 to 13th kiloter and the 18 to 19th kiloter, he felt his body “cap”, but after running through it, he managed to keep his final half marathon ti at 1 hour and 57 minutes.
He didn’t use all his energy and felt like he could go even faster.
Because of the capabilities of his sweatband, ng Fan did not stop running after finishing the half marathon and increased his speed toward the neighborhood. Still, he miscalculated, and when he arrived at the neighborhood it had already started raining. The entrance was still a distance away from his unit.
ng Fan hurriedly stretched and headed upstairs to shower.
His tracksuit and sweatband were all excellent at absorbing sweat, but this was due to the rain.
He took a hot shower, feeling the warmth from inside out.
He received a ssage from Wu Tong. Since he didn’t bring any food back and takeout was hard to find at this hour, ng Fan ended up cooking the dumplings Wu Tong had left in his refrigerator and responded to her ssage.
She said her day had gone very smoothly, as she not only got to listen in on class but was able to inquire the mind of a “target figure”, one of the reparation experts hosting this art preserving event. Then her schedule was shifted, and she had gone directly to the palace museum to observe the artifact repairs instead of listening in on class.
Excitingly, she joked with ng Fan saying she didn’t know if they allowed photography inside. For if they did, she would send photos to ng Fan.
After breakfast, ng Fan began to draw and went to attend one class at 8:00 am before returning and continuing to work on his manga. When it was almost noon, he was just about to call takeout when a call from Charlie ca. He said the post-production voice acting commission for “Forest Exploration” was official and asked ng Fan to drop by the studio for a eting. This way, he could also get to know all the employees.
Charlie asked if ng Fan was ho and brought ng Fan with him. They didn’t go straight to the studio, but he treated ng Fan to lunch instead.
There were several staff mbers for Chocolate Factory, totaling at forty or fifty people. This included the half responsible for editing, recording, and post-recording, while the other half were voice actors. There was also staff in other departnts who weren’t voice actors, but all had the ability to sub in at any ti.
For example, the big bearded Lou Lan was mainly responsible for recording but was also able to voice act for so roles.
The CV team for Chocolate Factory was large, and they were a talented bunch as well. Since most of their business ca from video gas and animation, there were many more female mbers than there were male ones. Including the newly joined ng Fan, there were a total of six male voice actors.
After all, in video gas and animation, most roles could be done with a female CV. With the exception of roles that require a hoarse, rough, or low tone.
Most of the people who have attended the recording process for “Forest Exploration” were female, and there was only one other male CV in addition to ng Fan.
After introducing ng Fan, they began their eting. Charlie announced the news regarding “Forest Exploration” like its artistic style, the ti constraints, and the distribution of roles.
ng Fan was assigned another role in addition to yesterday’s five demos, so including the narration, he had seven roles total.
After distributing the roles, they had to distribute the recording rooms in the studio. The voice recordings were to be done by the CV individually except for so occasions where everyone had to communicate.
Chocolate Factory had a large number of studios, but they had other voice dubbing tasks on hand. They could only distribute four recording rooms to “Forest Exploration”. Because of this, the voice actors needed ti to plan out the schedule so it wasn’t redundant and spread apart.
ng Fan was a newcor, so he didn’t get a say. He could only let them handle it and take what was left.
When ng Fan looked at the final schedule they had booked for him and noticed it wasn’t too spread apart, he had nothing to say.
In comparison, ng Fan cared more about video ga characters, for those would help him gain experience faster. He wasn’t going to reject animations either though since he could still earn studio ti if the roles took longer.
After they dispersed, ng Fan didn’t have a studio to use and was prepared to head ho when Lou Lan stopped him.
“Iron god, there’s a studio open right now. Do you want to go?” Lou Lan preferred this nickna for ng Fan.
“Didn’t soone else follow you in just now?” ng Fan asked curiously.
Lou Lan shrugged his shoulders. “I don’t know either. She said she wasn’t feeling well as soon as she entered and left.”
“What a coincidence! Then I’ll co.”
ng Fan couldn’t confirm if this was the effect of 1 luck.
“Iron god, how are you going to do this? You want to pick a role, or do them all together?”
The big bearded youth was holding onto several scripts. They could follow the chronological order of the roles or test them based on their durations.
Although ng Fan didn’t ask for it to be speedy, he still chose to record them based on directions. Even if it was a children’s animation, they still needed a fair amount of plot and emotion.
Of course, ng Fan chose to record them by their duration for another reason. He had seven roles to voice, including the narrator, and he was going to record them all based on their durations, so he could change his voice anyti during the preparation process.
Typically, if there were multiple characters from a single episode, they would record it based on the roles. Basically, they would record the demo for one then move onto the other. This way, it would ensure consistency in their voice.
Not many people would choose the approach ng Fan did. Maybe he was clueless, or he was infinitely confident.
ng Fan was the latter.
Presently, “Forest Exploration” had completed one season or 50 episodes in total.
ng Fan’s seven roles only appear once every few episodes or so, with one role appearing six tis in total. The two that appeared more frequently was Grandpa Pine and Professor Duck.
Of course, the most frequent was the narrator. He had about 1 to 3 lines every episode, and that took up one-third of his total script.
Calculating the numbers, he had 320 lines in total.
ng Fan was extrely fast at voice acting, but he was efficient, and the result was good. Once he entered his zone, he basically passed all of them in one try.
At around 9:00 pm, he had completed everything. It took less than 7 hours!
On average, he was able to complete 50 lines per hour. Continuously, it wasn’t fast, but when separated, it was different. If one swapped the roles, it was even more terrifying.
“Done?”
“Done!”
The big bearded youth, who had been munching on a piece of bread, was dumbfounded!
There was naturally other staff in the recording studio beside the voice actor, and after noticing the ti, they were also surprised.
What godlike efficiency!
