"I should be the one who should be nervous."
"Generally speaking, when you first start dubbing, you will feel very nervous..." Qingshan recalled his past self and sighed: "But if it's you, Li Nian, it doesn't seem like this at all. After all, have you ever been nervous? You don't seem to be the kind of person who is not afraid of the stage at all."
"Of course I was nervous sometimes, but..." Li Nian also recalled: "I really don't understand what it feels like to be stage fright."
"That's great. I wish I had a big heart like you, Li Nian." If someone else said it, it would sound like a joke, but coming from Li Nian's mouth, Qingshan knew it was probably true. He really envied Li Nian: "If I can be as calm and composed as you during the exam, I will definitely perform at my best. Can you teach me?"
"Well... how should I teach... the key is that when people decide to give up, they no longer have anything to fear?"
"…What is that?"
"I don't quite understand it myself."
"That can't be helped. It seems I can't learn it. What a pity."
"I'm sorry I can't teach you...but if I want to do the dubbing, I have a lot to learn from you, Aoyama."
"Well! If Li Nian wants to learn, I will try my best to teach you. But as you can see, as a voice actor, I am still very immature, so there is a limit to what I can teach."
"Don't say that... Anyway, since we're acting opposite each other, we need to cooperate with each other and practice together, right? Please teach me the art of voice acting at that time, and correct me if I'm not good at it."
"A rival scene... That's great. I also want to play a rival scene with Senior." Nayuta was a little envious: "It's a chance to flirt with Senior openly..."
Li Nian rolled his eyes and said, "You've read my book, so you should know that these two characters want to beat each other's brains out, right?"
"Is that so? I thought the Demon King and the Goddess had a love-hate relationship."
"Don't say stupid things. I hate it when people try to link any relationship to love."
"Isn't that the relationship?" Kanda asked suspiciously, "I thought it was like that. When I watched the performance at that time, there were many goddesses teasing the demon king. That will be retained in the animation, right?"
After Qingshan said that, Li Nian remembered that there was indeed such a scene, where the goddess showed possessiveness towards the devil and got very close to him when trying to keep him. It was during this scene that Li Nian was taken advantage of by Isayama. He also remembered that Misaki's storyboard retained the original flavor and even emphasized this scene, under the euphemism of giving the audience enough benefits... If he was going to dub the animation, obviously he and Qingshan would also have to do a good job of this rivalry...
Sure enough, at this time, Ueigusa shouted proudly: "That is the essence of the scene that makes people's sexual desires so high. We must keep it. No, keeping it is not enough, we must emphasize it! Extend it! That's what I did! That kind of erotic feeling must be done well when dubbing, Xiao Nanami!"
Qingshan blushed a little, but at this time he was still very dedicated and answered with a stiff upper lip: "I, I will try my best..."
"So you're flirting!" Nayuta was dissatisfied: "Senior, you already have me..."
Li Nian was in pain and didn't bother to pay attention to these two people with strange trains of thought. He just said to Qingshan: "Ignore them. Even in that part, just behave moderately."
Qingshan shook his head firmly: "No, how can a voice actor back down for such a small matter? You can't feel embarrassed about performing... I will try my best to dub out the erotic feeling that Senior Misaki needs!"
Senior Ren clapped his hands and said, "As expected of Qingshan, your dedication to work deserves encouragement."
Li Nian was speechless, but after thinking about it, she agreed that this was the case. The voice actor had to perform the corresponding effect according to the instructions. Kamiigusa thought Aoyama should be like that, so she had to perform it.
"Then come on."
Anyway, it wasn't Li Nian who was embarrassed. He just made a friendly appearance as a real man with a determined heart to kill.
Chapter 474: Skills have been honed, waiting for natural development
Senior Ren finished his meal early. When he left, he patted Li Nian on the shoulder and whispered something in his ear.
"Please, keep an eye on Qingshan's condition."
Li Nian was stunned for a moment, then he understood and immediately realized that Senior Ren had proposed the dubbing when there were only two days left before Qingshan's selection. He also took the initiative to ask Li Nian to help dub the role of the Demon King and play opposite Qingshan. He had some other intentions.
Still keep an eye on it.
Knowing that the selection is the most important event in Qingshan's life so far, this event is getting closer and closer. Although Qingshan looks calm on the surface, he is definitely not in his heart. He needs to pay attention.
After meal.
Qingshan directly sought out Li Nian for sparring.
In fact, Li Nian really didn't think she needed to be so anxious. It would be fine to start after the selection... But Qingshan was like that. She would do her best for what she promised. Li Nian also understood her, and Ren probably also took this into account.
Li Nian remembered Qingshan had said that the audition was divided into several parts. Before the free performance with an impromptu theme, there was a performance segment with a fixed script.
The script has been sent to Qingshan. She has been practicing it recently... She would choose an empty living room to practice at night. Li Nian saw it when she passed by. She had almost torn the script apart. It seemed that she had practiced it to such a thorough level.
Qingshan said he wanted to find another script to practice with. Perhaps he felt that he had practiced the performance of the fixed script enough and should prepare for the free performance of random themes later. Or he simply wanted to change the script to practice dubbing with the idea of changing his mood... No matter what, Li Nian was happy to accompany him to the end as long as it could be helpful, so he agreed very readily.
Seeing this, Nayuta suddenly said, "Senior, if I also want to ask you for help with something, would you agree?"
If a friend asked him for help, Li Nian would agree without hesitation. But when it came from this girl, Li Nian became suspicious and said, "It depends on the situation. It depends on what kind of help you want me to do."
"It's just a small favor. Senior, you know I started writing a book recently, right? I think there will be a time when I need you. Wouldn't you also want to see good works? Just help me out."
"... Let me be clear in advance, don't try to find an excuse to pounce on me like before."
"...Tsk." Nayuta smacked her lips and smiled brightly. "I don't have such plans."
"I heard you smacking your lips. Do you really think so?"
"It's settled then." Nayuta turned around and walked away as if nothing had happened. "I will lend it to Senior Aoyama first, and then it will be my turn to use it."
"I'm sorry, Honda-san..." Aoyama didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with what he said and bowed his head to apologize.
"Hey, don't assume that I'm this guy's property, okay?"
Nayuta went back to her room, apparently to concentrate on typing, which reminded Li Nian of her working state which was literally "ethereal and without a trace"... Shaking her head to get rid of the picture in her mind, Li Nian was only glad that focusing on writing the new book would allow her to harass her less during this period.
However, what exactly is he writing about... Li Nian is really a little curious. He has seen Nayuta's writing skills and knows how talented this person is. Such a person has decided to change the style in the new book and write something about the world of the living. Li Nian is really looking forward to it.
Kanda took the initiative to take on the job of cleaning up after dinner and told everyone to go about their own business. Knowing that Kanda was trying to buy them time in his own way, Li Nian did not hesitate and started sparring with Aoyama directly in the living room.
Before that, Qingshan took out the recording phone.
"You want to record it?"
"Of course, if you don't do this, you won't be able to confirm your own status and make timely corrections. Li Nian, you'd better record it as well."
Li Nian thought this was true and took out his mobile phone to record it, but it still felt a bit strange.
"…It always feels weird to listen to my own voice."
“It’s okay at first, but you get used to it over time.”
"The effect of recording with a mobile phone won't be very good, right?"
"That's true, but there's no other way. We'll go to a special recording studio for the official recording. When I was dubbing for Misaki-senpai before, she would take me to a recording studio of someone she knew to complete this step. There were also professional sound supervisors to help supervise, and the results would be much better. Although she didn't say anything this time, the recording will be completed there in the end... However, I can only make do with my phone normally."
Li Nian thought for a moment and snapped his fingers: "At least I can provide a quiet environment to isolate the noise."
After he finished speaking, a soundproof barrier enveloped the surrounding space. Qingshan, who had no psychic ability, could not "see" the details, but he could clearly feel that the surroundings suddenly became quiet. The clattering sound of Kanda washing dishes over there could no longer be heard. He was slightly surprised, then smiled and nodded: "This is much better. Li Nian is really amazing."
"It's just a small favor. If you need anything in the future and want to practice in quiet conditions, just come and call me."
"It's because you can do these things at will that you, Li Nian, are so amazing... If I had thought of it earlier, I would have asked you for help before every practice. Unfortunately, I found out too late."
Aoyama sighed, feeling it was a pity that he was isolated by the invisible barrier and the noise was blocked out. Only his own voice was clearly audible. Even though he was still in the dining room of Sakurasou, Aoyama felt like he was in a recording studio because of the silence, and he really felt that he could get into the state better.
"Start now?"
"Wait, before that, I'd better go through the script again to confirm the emotions and state of the characters when they speak. I already got a copy of your script and did some analysis myself, but as expected, my judgment is not necessarily accurate. Now the original author happens to be in front of me, so he must be the one who understands the character's thoughts when he speaks, right?"
Before the sparring officially began, Aoyama took a script that he had asked Misaki for a long time ago, and carefully confirmed with Li Nian the emotions of the characters in some lines. In simple terms, he was asking Li Nian how and in what state he should recite the lines.
Li Nianyou saw that her copy of the script was already covered with notes, with densely packed marks and comments on the lines.
It turns out that voice actors can't just get the script and immediately dub the character vividly and emotionally. Before that, they have to study and analyze the character.
Feeling that Qingshan already had the style of a voice actor, Li Nian went over the script with her seriously.
Qingshan's own research and analysis are already very detailed, but the one who understands the script better is the original author Li Nian. After he read Qingshan's notes, he personally felt that there were some places where he had not understood them correctly, so he pointed them out and corrected them.
"The goddess you are going to voice is a god respected by all beings in the world. She is also a god born from the concept of war. You are high above, and all beings look up to you. The secular etiquette cannot restrain you, and is even determined by you. No one can control your freedom, and no one can match your strength. You are not arrogant, and you don't need to be arrogant, because your strength and nobility do not need to be proved to anyone. Therefore, you should always be self-centered, calm, and even innocent. You don't care about things that don't interest you, and you will only have emotional ups and downs about things that interest you."
——With this feeling, Li Nian gave instructions to Qingshan according to her own ideas, but she didn't say too much. Basically, she was shaping Qingshan's basic understanding of the role of goddess.
Qingshan also listened carefully and did not insist on her own opinion or misinterpret the character from her own perspective. She accepted everything Li Nian said and built a statue of the goddess in her mind by grasping some key words: "Free... powerful... calm... innocent... only having emotional ups and downs about things that interest her."
"That's probably the feeling... Just have an impression. No matter how much you say, you might as well start practicing now and make corrections while practicing. But don't stop during the first pass of dubbing. Go through it once, and then find out which parts need to be corrected after you're done."
Since Senior Ren had asked him to complete the dubbing of the Demon King, Li Nian also wanted to do a good job. After all, it was an animation that embodied everyone's hard work and was based on his work. Li Nian knew that dubbing might seem inconspicuous, but it had a great impact on the viewing experience of the finished product. He didn't want the animation to be done well, but be held back by his amateur dubbing performance. At this time, he began to practice with Qingshan, and he quickly became focused, casting aside distractions, and entered a state that was almost like spiritual practice.
Although Qingshan felt that Li Nian had the qualifications for dubbing, he thought that Li Nian was ultimately a layman and had no professional knowledge and skills related to dubbing. She needed a lot of guidance and help from him. When they started this kind of acting sparring, he still had to take the lead himself.
But after actually starting the practice, she felt that Li Nian was the one who was in control.
The content of the practice was of course based on Qingshan's opinions. Li Nian was humbly seeking advice, but he was only seeking advice from Qingshan, and he was planning the practice arrangements himself.
During the actual scene, Li Nian's performance was even better than Qingshan expected.
Just like when he performed with Isayama-senpai, he quickly got into the role as soon as he started acting with his emotions already built up. When he recited the lines, as Aoyama expected, he lacked the obvious ups and downs of emotions that only voice actors have after training. It was one thing that he didn't express full emotions, but he didn't show any stage fright or out-of-character behavior. He seemed natural and didn't feel like he was being flattered.
Just speaking there as if you were there in person.
It shows the imperial majesty and calmness that a demon king should have. Sometimes his voice is low, but it can just reflect the deep anger that a warrior should have, and it seems full of murderous intent.
Especially after learning some "voice actor's skills" from Qingshan, Li Nian was able to master them quickly and applied them to her lines, achieving better results.
Voice actors study the way of speaking. Speaking is essentially the vibration of breath.
Various techniques all lead to the same conclusion, which is the control of breath.
When it comes to controlling breath, Li Nian is an expert.
After all, exercising qi and moving energy are the basics of combat, and do not involve the circulation of spiritual power. They are just the control of the muscles and breath required for speaking, and at most further coordination with the dantian and chest. Li Nian can easily achieve perfect control.
People who can easily control their breath can also easily change the feeling of speaking.
In general, as soon as the sparring began, Li Nian showed visible progress. He was able to spontaneously find the tricks according to Qingshan's instructions and make corresponding changes, making the lines he read out fuller and rounder, more comfortable to listen to, and the emotional expression was more in place.
This sounds simple but is difficult to do. Few of Qingshan's classmates can perform better than Li Nian.
Similarly, Qingshan also received corrections from Li Nian... and even guidance.
Not only did he control his own breath, but at such a close distance, Li Nian could also detect Qingshan's breath clearly. He could keenly sense all her mistakes, even those that she herself was not aware of, and give her reminders.
Li Nian was also able to give good instructions on the emotions and state that should be maintained when reciting lines, guiding Qingshan to accurately enter the relevant situations and understand the character's state of mind at the time.
This made Qingshan, who had not expected to learn anything from an outsider, feel that he benefited a lot from the actual sparring with Li Nian.
During this sparring session, and through the mutual corrections and guidance with Li Nian, she has a better understanding of the role of the goddess. Judging from the results of the recording, the dubbing is also getting better and better. Throughout the whole rehearsal, Qingshan felt inexplicably refreshed.
I remember my teacher once said that dubbing is not a one-person job. Just like a performance, voice actors will influence each other during the dubbing process. It would be a refreshing feeling to dub with excellent people... I didn't expect that my first experience would be with the layman Li Nian.
Is this a genius... Qingshan thought.
Although she used to view Li Nian in this way, after all, they had nothing to do with each other in their specialized fields. She just thought that Li Nian was very powerful because he could write excellent works and perform various magic spells, but she did not have any personal experience of his specific strengths.
When practicing with Li Nian at this time, I saw that Li Nian also showed such talent in the dubbing aspect which he was most familiar with.
Qingshan couldn't help but feel that if it was him, it would be easy to become a voice actor and reach professional standards, and he wouldn't have to worry about the agency's selection process like he did...
Haha, what are you thinking? It’s such a waste for someone like Li Nian to be a voice actor. He doesn’t have this idea either.
Qingshan laughed at himself.
Li Nian didn't know what she was thinking. He just felt that he had learned a lot from this sparring. He also felt that he seemed to be able to dub the role of the Demon King. He was simply happy about it.
He also felt that Aoyama's dubbing became very attractive and goddess-like after the corrections during practice, which finally gave him an intuitive understanding of Aoyama's ability as a voice actor. He expressed his sincere emotion at this moment.
"Mr. Aoyama is indeed a professional voice actor. After your interpretation, the role of the goddess is much more vivid."
“…I can’t call myself a professional yet.”
"Oh, that's true. But if I take the exam based on this feeling, it shouldn't be a problem to pass the selection. I'll become a professional in the future."
Li Nian sincerely felt so.
Qingshan hesitated for a while and murmured, "Is that so..."
She has no confidence.
This is not a good sign. The exam is approaching and you should be fully prepared and full of confidence... Well, this is really hard to do.
It doesn’t matter if you can’t do it.
As long as you perform normally during the exam and show your current level, it will be fine.
Li Nian didn't say anything to comfort her, she just said, "I'll take you there on the day of the exam."
Qingshan didn't like to accept favors from others. He thought it was just an exam and he didn't need anyone to follow him. But now he remembered what Li Nian had said, that friends should rely on each other. He felt that if this person followed him, he could deal with many emergencies and act as insurance. So he changed his mind and nodded: "Then I'll trouble you when the time comes."
