There is nothing wrong with the training method of the Justice Messenger

He also knew that among this group of people, including Qingshan, only a very small number would be selected.

The one who is chosen is not necessarily the one who works the hardest. Li Nian knows that the profession of voice actor really relies on talent. Breath control and speaking style can be trained, but those who are born with a voice that can leave a deep impression on people have a huge advantage.

In the end, only strength can speak.

Being able to show all that you have accumulated so far is already the best state.

If Kanda were here, he would probably simply pray for Aoyama's victory, become restless, worry about other people's exams, and would not be able to calm down.

But Li Nian, who saw the candidates coming and going, was very calm at this time, and just thought indifferently.

If you fail to be selected after giving your best.

This means that Qingshan’s current ability is indeed not enough for her to reach the threshold of her dream. She is not even qualified to become a newcomer in the firm, let alone start her career.

Li Nianman likes Qingshan's personality and thinks she is a good friend, enthusiastic and rule-abiding, kind and principled. However, while encouraging Qingshan's dream of becoming a voice actor, she never thinks she will succeed. She will give her enough help as a friend, but that's all.

Although Qingshan had no worries and expressed that he would support her to try again and would actually do so, Li Nian did not intend to really encourage her to try again. If she could really become a voice actor, that would be another matter, but if she didn't have that talent, no newcomer could become one...

But he would not object.

If Qingshan still decides to try again after being eliminated... Li Nian will take care of him without saying anything, just as she promised before.

Of course, that was after I lost the election.

Li Nian didn't think any more about it, turned around and left, and took a fancy to a nicely decorated bookstore next door. He thought it would be quite comfortable to sit there, so he planned to read some books there to kill time and relax himself this weekend.

As for Qingshan who was facing tests in the examination room, he was not worried, as there was no use in worrying.

People choose their own paths, and they have to walk them in the end. Success or failure is all up to fate. Becoming a voice actor does not necessarily mean a smooth road ahead, but failing does not mean the future will be bleak. For Qingshan, this is a turning point in his life, but it is not a crisis.

The worst case scenario is that she performs very poorly due to nervousness and ends up crying and complaining... In that case, the girl might really need some comfort.

After sending the message, Xiang woke up at this time and knew that Li Nian had already sent Aoyama over. He reported to Kanda who asked about this matter. As expected, he was very worried about Aoyama's exam condition even though he was far away in Sakurasou, and asked a lot of questions about Aoyama's condition.

His state before the exam was indeed very bad, but Li Nian felt that his meaning was conveyed well and Qingshan did not bring his concerns into the examination room. He did not say much to Kanda and make him worry.

Entered the bookstore.

By chance, he saw the new volume of "Knight of the Absolute Holy Spirit" by Mr. Haruto Fuwa on the bookshelf. It was placed in the most eye-catching "Best-selling Books" position on the bookshelf. Thinking of the smiling face of the approachable teacher, Li Nian simply bought the first few volumes, intending to appreciate the work of his predecessor.

With anticipation, Li Nian sat at a table in the leisure area and ordered a drink. He opened the book and spent some time reading several volumes.

Hmm...how should I put it...the illustrations are very dull.

But the content.

Very general.

I feel very sorry for Teacher Bupo, but Li Nian’s evaluation in her heart was not polite at all, and she felt that this was a rubbish work that was extremely templated.

Li Nian felt very disappointed and had a feeling that his life was wasted. This was a long novel that had already been published in fourteen or fifteen volumes, but having read three volumes, Li Nian had no desire to purchase subsequent works.

Good books are becoming increasingly difficult to find.

The most recent one I read was the one by Nayuta... well, it's not a very good book to be honest.

But there is no doubt that compared with the overflowing emotions in that person's works, the book "The Knight of the Absolute Holy Spirit" is not even worth comparing.

Such a book is a popular work... It's not surprising. There is nothing wrong with Mr. Fuwa's writing style. The template-based style means that it caters to the mass market. This kind of book is easy to become popular and sell well. It is also an animated work, so it is very popular.

But that's all.

After the disappointment, Li Nian felt regretful.

He never thought there was anything wrong with templates and routines, but he felt that only by adding novel changes and a solid enough spiritual core could a book be interesting to read.

Did Fuwa Haruto, the senior writer, not realize this? Or did he, after realizing it, give up those thoughts and innovations that require more effort and are more likely to attract criticism, and actively choose the "play safe" approach that can earn the expected sales?

There are many people in the world who could have gone further but didn't. Even so, they are still role models of success and the way many people want to live.

Li Nian didn't like the work, but she didn't hate Mr. Fupo because of it. She just silently threw the book into the bag, intending to give it to An Yi to deal with it later. It was up to him to sell it or give it away. When she was about to find a new book to read, the phone rang, and Qingshan's cheerful voice was heard.

"I've finished the test."

"Really fast?"

Li Nian was a little surprised. Even though he had read three volumes of the book, he skimmed through it because it was not very interesting. It only took him two hours. It was only a little after ten o'clock, and Li Nian thought he had to wait until noon.

"Because I was at the front of the queue, after I finished taking all the exams and recorded the audio, I was told to leave and go back to wait for the results."

"Oh, that's it. I'm in the bookstore next door."

"I'll be there soon."

Qingshan came to the bookstore after finishing her exam. When she saw Li Nian waving at her, she walked over and sat down.

"What can I drink to moisten my throat?"

Qingshan, who had fully expressed himself during the exam and done enough dubbing and performance, was now very thirsty. He simply nodded and asked the store to bring him a cup of warm honey grapefruit tea.

Li Nianyou noticed Qingshan's cheerful expression and said with a smile, "Looks like you did well in the exam?"

"Yeah." Qingshan nodded gently. Speaking of this, he felt grateful to Li Nian. He looked over and thanked her sincerely, saying, "Thanks to what I said to you, Li Nian, before the exam. I didn't feel nervous during the exam."

"...It's not good to not feel a little nervous in some sense."

"Really? I feel it's quite relaxing. The dubbing and acting are both going pretty well."

"...That's good."

"So, I gave it my all and showed my whole self."

"That's even better... Then what about the result? Oh, you said you'll let me know later, right? Anyway, do you think you can pass it?"

"I don't know." Qingshan, who appeared to be very relaxed, shook her head, showing that she was unsure. "I feel like everyone performed pretty well... Although for the sake of fairness, everyone was called one by one and completed the test process in a closed recording studio. It should be the same set of questions. After the test, everyone was asked to leave. We couldn't see each other's performance, but I could still see the expressions of the people in front of me after they finished the test. To be honest, I don't have the confidence that I can perform better than them."

Li Nian felt the same way. He did not think that Qingshan, who had given his all, should have performed better than others. He just nodded and said with emotion: "There is nothing we can do about it. Regardless of others, it is already very good to do your best."

"Yes, Li Nian, you are right. I tried my best, and that is enough." Qingshan recalled what he saw during the exam and murmured, "I have done my best in this exam... Most of the people performed well. As long as they performed as usual, even if they were a little uneasy about the final result, at least they could walk out the door calmly... However, there were also some people who came out with sad faces and ran away. Everyone knew that they did not perform well and would definitely fail. I did not become like that because of you, Li Nian. Thank you very much for sending me here and reminding me what I should do."

After the exam, Li Nian was no longer afraid of upsetting Qingshan, and said directly: "Yes, I was really scared when I saw your state before the exam."

"I'm sorry to embarrass you." Qingshan was very embarrassed. She felt ashamed that she needed others to remind her to correct her mentality. Before, she felt that she didn't need anyone's escort and could do everything by herself. Now it seems that if Li Nian hadn't come, even if she was comforted, she would probably have to walk into the examination room with that gloomy mentality, which would inevitably affect her performance in the examination... So Qingshan felt very ashamed at this time: "I am really too immature. Everyone says that I am strong, but that is not the case at all. When it comes to the critical moment, I am so scared that I tremble all over... To be honest, I am also afraid of receiving the notification of failure later."

"Of course you're afraid. It's human nature. But the exams are over. There's no point in being afraid, right? Don't act like a prisoner waiting to be beheaded. That's too uncomfortable. It's better to just give up. Now that the exams are over, be happy. At least you don't have to suffer for the time being. Take this opportunity to have a good rest. You've been very busy lately."

"...I can't take a break. I still have to do the dubbing for the animated short film. Now that the exam is over, I can focus on this matter. Li Nian, you also need to cooperate with me to finish this task, okay?"

"You are so responsible...Okay, okay, I will cooperate and finish the animation dubbing early, and then take a rest?"

“… Then, I will rest.”

After the exam, no matter what, it can be regarded as a full stop for his one-year voice actor training life. Being able to perform to his heart's content and show himself to the best of his ability during the exam made Qingshan very satisfied. Now he felt relieved and had enough time to take a break.

Come to think of it, Qingshan hasn't had a good rest for a long time.

Of course, in order to stay more energetic, Qingshan would also make good use of sleep to rest, especially after he was sick before and messed up the performance. After being reminded by Li Nian, Qingshan paid more attention to his health and stayed healthy by eating and drinking well.

But Qingshan hasn't had that kind of rest for the purpose of relaxation for a long time.

With a part-time job, voice actor training, and studies, she has no energy to rest. On weekends, when other students are having fun and resting, she is busier with all kinds of things.

Now, I can finally rest.

Can I take a break now...?

Seeing Qingshan's confused expression, Li Nian said nothing. He thought that being at a loss and dazed was a good thing for Qingshan at this moment. It was better than worrying about the test results and waiting for the death penalty in anxiety.

However, Qingshan was only in a daze for a while, as if he still felt that he could not stop even after the exam.

After returning to Sakurasou with Li Nian.

Qingshan reported the situation to everyone who had gathered around her out of curiosity about her audition performance, and immediately grabbed Li Nian to start dubbing training.

This time, after Senior Ren and Misaki listened to the results, Misaki seemed to think it was okay. She nodded vigorously and made the decision: "Okay! Let's go record now!", and then turned around to contact the recording studio she knew.

Qingshan and Li Nian, who were reviewing the game together, were stunned. They looked at each other and finally nodded with helpless expressions. They had already gotten used to this man's whims.

But if Misaki says yes, that means she really thinks it is okay.

In the afternoon, Li Nian was taken to the recording studio.

Although it was my first time in such a place, the feeling of sitting in this silent and enclosed room was no different from being in a barrier isolated from the outside world.

The dubbing process went smoothly. Misaki used her connections to book the use of the recording studio for the entire afternoon, and then sat in the mixing room on the other side of the glass to give instructions. There were only a group of acquaintances present, which gave Li Nian and Aoyama plenty of leeway to make adjustments and start over.

It is worth mentioning that it was not until the dubbing began that Li Nian saw the... unfinished product of the animation.

It’s not all finished yet, some parts still feel like storyboards, and it seems that the original drawings are not in place yet - but some parts have been completed.

After only watching such a semi-finished product, Li Nian felt the impact on her, and realized how stunning and gorgeous the actual combat scenes that she and Isayama contributed would be when they were performed in the form of animation.

Chapter 478 Qingshan Nanami's Greatest Reliance

It can be seen that the artist of this scene had carefully referred to the battle video of himself and Isayama, and his painting skills are also excellent.

The movements of the characters drawn are very accurate in terms of physical performance.

In addition to that, various forms of artistic expression were added. The parts with flying sleeves, dancing feathers, flashing swords, and radiant light were emphasized with various light and shadow effects, showing a dazzling beauty. Of course, that action was originally a fight scene that Li Nian and Isayama had rehearsed many times, and it was deliberately revised many times in the direction of gorgeous visual beauty. It can be said that the original beauty was accurately restored and expanded with various animation techniques, making it more exaggerated, but also more gorgeous.

Li Nian doesn't know much about watching animation, she is just a viewer who enjoys the visual impact. However, the completed fighting scene really makes Li Nian feel so handsome that she is blinded, and she thinks the visual impact is off the charts.

If he hadn't watched the anime, he wouldn't have known that the fight between him and Isayama would be so exciting.

Especially the demon king who looked like an "animated" version of herself, which made Li Nian watch it with great interest. She felt a sense of accomplishment as if she was watching a movie in which she had starred, and she couldn't help but sigh.

I think the guy in this animation is so handsome, and he has restored the original appearance very well. Doesn’t this make people feel involved in the animation immediately?

I feel like it’s easier to get into the role when dubbing.

As a result, he used too much force and was scolded rudely by Ueigusa on the other side of the glass.

"What are you pretending for, you rookie! Your frigid Sima face is your true character in and out of the play, don't act so smug! Hold it back! Hold it back! Where did that feeling you had before go? Why are you suddenly pretending to be an idol with baggage? The devil doesn't feel like that!"

I can accept that Li Nian plays the frigid Sima-faced character in the play, but what do you mean that that is also my true character outside the play?

Li Nian was slandering in his heart and was very unhappy, but he would not disobey Shang Jingcao's instructions at this time. Qingshan also gave him a puzzled look, as if he didn't know what had happened to Li Nian. Obviously, he also felt that his performance was not right. Seeing this, Li Nian was reminded.

I had to temporarily put aside my dignity as a handsome man (?), forget about this matter, control my emotions, and go back to my previous state. I simply regarded the demon king I was going to play as a warrior, and started dubbing with a state of "no matter what, I just want to kill people". This seemed to make Aoyama and Kamiigus very satisfied, and they felt that Li Nian's dubbing in this state was very suitable.

The dubbing was completed smoothly with this feeling. After finishing, Uesugi took the sound source to find the staff, and it seemed that some technical adjustments needed to be made.

Qingshan and Li Nian waited outside for this guy for 20 minutes. Finally, they couldn't help but go into the mixing room. They found Ueigusa who was talking happily with an uncle who seemed to be the sound supervisor in front of the editing software on the computer screen. They asked how long it would take to finish. Instead, Ueigusa looked at them in surprise and said, "You haven't left yet."

Li Nian just realized that the two voice actors who had finished recording the audio had passed away 20 minutes ago.

Li Nian's veins popped out. Why didn't you say so earlier?

Before Li Nian could yell, Shang Jinggusa suddenly remembered something and patted him on the shoulder excitedly: "Well done, newcomer! We have just finished preliminarily fixing the sound source, and we have gone through the animation with dubbing, and the effect is great! As expected, you are the best for the role of the Demon King! This is the kind of abstinence that is unmoved by beauty and full of desire to beat the goddess to death! It is worthy of being a single nobleman, and the dubbing is great! Don't dub it next time!"

Li Nian was choking on his anger after hearing these words. It felt like a compliment to his dubbing, but the compliment did not make him happy, especially the last sentence "Don't do it next time". He couldn't tell whether it was praising himself or insulting himself. It seemed as if he was simply saying that it was done and he didn't need to do any more dubbing.

Trying to understand the alien's brain circuits would only add unnecessary burden to the brain. Li Nian, who already understood this, fortunately did not think too much about it. She knew that she had nothing to do and was too lazy to wait for this idiot who had become so engrossed in the animation production process. At this moment, she did not even have the energy to scold her after waiting for 20 minutes in vain. She went out to say hello to Qingshan and took her on the return train.

However, the sound was also dubbed, and after seeing the completed animation short film, Li Nian felt more clearly than ever that the animation was about to be completed.

Even those parts that are still in storyboards and the shots that have not been completed in this film source have all been handed over to other artists a long time ago and are being completed. By now, a lot of progress should have been made, but it’s not all in place yet. But it will be soon, and everyone in Sakurasou should be able to see the finished film in these few days.

The semi-finished product already has that quality, and it is not difficult to imagine that it will be even more exciting when it is completely completed. If Li Nian was 70% sure that he could make a good animation before, then now that certainty has become 99%.

How much energy and money had been spent before, and what kind of impact it would have in the future - Li Nian didn't care about that at the moment, she was just simply happy to be able to see such a cool animation.

Qingshan had the same feeling.

"The dubbing is also done. Just looking at the parts that are already there, it feels like this is going to be a great animation. The performances contributed by you, Li Nian, and Isayama-senpai seem to have played a big role in reference."

"It seems so. It was worth my hard work that day. Well, Isayama seemed even more tired. I really wanted her to see how her contribution has created such a gorgeous animation. Maybe she will also feel that her hard work will be worth it?"

"Haha... Compared to Li Nian, Isayama-senpai was indeed much more tired at the time. She must have been very moved to see the goddess she played appear on the screen in such a beautiful manner."

"Of course. Let alone her, I was impressed by the handsomeness of the Demon King I played in a friendly role. Is it because the original character was handsome? I'm just kidding."

I excitedly chatted with Aoyama about topics related to the animation we were going to see, and when we talked about the topics that would inevitably arise, Aoyama sighed.

"It's my honor to meet Uegusa-san and have the opportunity to voice the animation she produced. It's great to finally leave my voice in such an amazing animated short film."

Li Nian did not miss the word "last" and frowned.

"What are you talking about the end? How can it be the end? There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Look at someone like Igusa. She will not stop after finishing this animation. She will only invest in the production of the next animation."

Well, there is a high probability that the animation project might start with Li Nian’s crappy book…

Aoyama looked through the window of the train at the city scenery passing by: "…It's just a possibility. I know that Misaki-senpai won't stop. But the one who might stop is me."

"…You're still thinking about not being selected."
