She became a heartthrob among internet celebrities.
Chapter 10 Listening
Nighttime is the only time of joy that those overworked employees have during the day, a time that truly belongs to them.
Bai Luxi is just such a miserable working person. Her throat was dry as she sent her newly recorded audio to the director, then quickly typed: "If there's nothing else, I'll take a break now :)"
The other party replied quickly: "Okay, I'll contact you again if there are any other requirements."
Bai Luxi's smile froze, then she gritted her teeth and typed two words: "Okay."
On the surface, modern office workers are fine.
Actually: Damn it.
After sending the message, Bai Luxi quickly logged out of QQ and set her status to Do Not Disturb. Even if the King of Heaven himself came today, he wouldn't be able to add any more workload to her!
She went to the bedroom and lay down, exclaiming, "Director Fu is inhuman!"
A WeChat notification sound rang out.
Bai Luxi picked up her phone and saw that it was her colleague Xiaoman complaining in the WeChat group.
"I'm really speechless. How can anyone still be working at this hour?!"
Fu Qingshan is Fu An's name in the voice acting circle.
Bai Luxi's lips twitched as she typed, "To be honest, I just sent the audio to Director Fu."
She joined the film crew managed by Fu An and called him Director Fu, while Xiao Man called him "Fu Qingshan." Xiao Man and her boyfriend both worked at the studio, and her boyfriend was also in Fu An's film crew, playing a supporting role.
It's probably because Fu An is still keeping the crew busy at this hour, and Xiao Man's boyfriend probably didn't escape either, which has caused Xiao Man to feel very resentful.
Bai Luxi, Xiaoman, Xiaoman's boyfriend, and Fu An are all members of Lingyin Studio.
Lingyin Studio primarily focuses on dubbing various animations, games, radio dramas, and post-production audio-visual materials for films and television series. The boss is Yan Jiamin, a wealthy young lady who gets into dubbing purely out of love for it. She has devoted a great deal of effort to running the studio, and as a result, Lingyin has already gained considerable prestige among dubbing studios in China.
The studio has many well-known voice actors in the industry, one of whom is Bai Luxi. Her name in the industry is "Bai Lu Weixi", and her fans often call her "Bai Lu". She often dubs for the female lead in various film and television dramas.
The studio is currently producing a new radio drama adapted from a popular novel. The studio's boss, Yan Jiamin, has a personal relationship with the novel's author, and thus secured the exclusive production rights to the radio drama adaptation of "Peach Blossom Smile." This news generated considerable buzz, and the studio's boss took it very seriously, leading to a significant increase in the team's workload.
"Peach Blossom Smile" is about to be adapted into a TV series. Rumors suggest that a popular actress born in the 95s will play the female lead, which has kept the show's popularity high online. If the studio manages to acquire the production rights for the radio drama and doesn't mess it up, Lingyin Studio's popularity could easily reach new heights.
Therefore, the big boss, Yan Jiamin, paid close attention to this radio drama. Fu An was chosen as the director, and the selection of voice actors for each character was very strict. Bai Luxi, as a veteran of the studio, was quickly confirmed as the female lead after participating in the audition, while the male lead was also a veteran of the studio whose abilities should not be underestimated. The other voice actors were all from the studio, which made it easier to coordinate and also kept the benefits within the family. Everyone knew how much benefit this drama could bring if it became a hit.
Bai Luxi has been spending her days in the studio's recording studio doing voice-over auditions, and when she gets home at night, she has to familiarize herself with the next day's work in advance and send her recorded audio to the director. She doesn't have a moment's rest 24 hours a day, which has caused her a lot of resentment.
Everything else went smoothly, except for one problem that remained unresolved: the voice of the "Fairy of Soothing Sounds" in the novel could not be properly chosen.
"Peach Blossom Smile" is a fantasy novel that tells the story of how Yuan Jia, a human princess, uses her methods and schemes to unify the three realms in a world where immortals, humans, and demons are locked in a struggle for supremacy.
In the past two years, the female lead has become very popular. "Peach Blossom Smile" is a female lead novel. In addition to the resourceful female lead, there are many other female characters with great personalities. Among them, the most eye-catching is the white moonlight character in the whole book - Fairy Shaoyin.
Shaoyin is the fourth disciple under the Divine Lord. She is the lotus seed of the ancient green lotus, with a high status and boundless glory. However, she has a pure and warm heart and is the one in the whole book who best embodies the word "immortal". She does not judge people by their birth. In her eyes, immortals, humans and demons are all equal. She appears very little in the whole novel and basically exists as a "white moonlight". Many humans, immortals and demons admire her.
When Chi You caused chaos, the original pillars of the world collapsed, and ancient power was needed to make up for it. Shao Yin, as the manifestation of the lotus seed of the Azure Lotus, could not bear to see the Three Realms in ruins, so she resolutely chose to sacrifice herself.
It's very difficult to find a voice that fits such a wonderful person. If the voice isn't chosen well, book fans, listeners, and later drama fans will probably not be satisfied.
Because of this, everyone in the studio has been incredibly busy these past two days. Everyone has been pulled in for auditions, and even male voice actors who can mimic voices haven't been spared. However, Fu An is a perfectionist and always felt that something was missing, so the selection process has been delayed.
Bai Luxi sighed. They had been dubbing other people's scenes first recently. The part about Fairy Shaoyin was left untouched because it was very small. If they couldn't find someone else soon, the job would probably fall to her. After all, Princess Yuanjia was the reincarnation of Fairy Shaoyin.
But she really didn't want to do voice acting anymore. Fu An, the director of the radio drama, was originally a voice actor, but he had now moved behind the scenes. Although the dramas he was in charge of were all of high quality, the workload was also very heavy. Bai Luxi really felt exhausted; she hadn't had a proper rest in a long time!
Heartbroken, she opened Douyin (TikTok). "Don't panic when you encounter a problem, first take out your phone and look at some handsome guys! Handsome guys are a kind of spiritual nourishment, capable of soothing a wounded heart. In the quiet of the night, it's perfect to go crazy over some handsome men."
Douyin's big data is very smart; it started recommending videos that it guessed she would like and that she actually liked.
Handsome guy with abs, athletic, cheerful younger man—
Likes, favorites, shares, comments going crazy—not interested in this? Scroll away.
Suddenly, she came across a video about putting someone to sleep. She was about to swipe away, her finger already on the phone screen, when she was drawn to the female voice.
She was reading a book. In fact, Bai Luxi didn't know what she was reading, but for some reason, she was attracted by her voice. Her voice was clear and gentle, and even her breathy sounds were inexplicably captivating, as if it had some kind of magic that could cleanse people's souls.
“This voice—” Bai Luxi stopped what she was about to do and continued listening. To hear it better, she even got out of bed and grabbed her headphones.
When the entire video ended, she finally snapped out of her daze and immediately sent it to Fu An as if she had discovered a treasure.
The person on the other end was probably still awake, as they quickly replied with a "?".
Bai Luxi typed excitedly, her fingers flying across the phone: "My Shaoyin! My destiny wife!"
"?"
"Director Fu!!! Go listen! Isn't this voice perfect for Shok? She probably hasn't studied dubbing, she doesn't have any techniques, it's all about emotion, but her voice is so charming! You absolutely have to listen to her! She's the Shok I've always dreamed of!"
"."
"I know, I'll go take a look."
The message was as cold as ever. Bai Luxi snorted and stopped replying. Then she sent a message in the WeChat group of the "Peach Blossom Smile" crew.
"Family members! I've found a voice! It's perfect for Shokz!"
Everyone here is a night owl and hasn't gone to sleep yet, so someone quickly jumped out.
"What? My beloved Shaoyin?"
"Who is it! Quickly add her to the group!"
"Thank goodness, can we finally move forward?"
Bai Luxi sent a message: "No, I found a blogger on Douyin whose voice is very nice. I think it would suit Shokz (link)."
“You can listen to it; I’ve already sent it to Director Fu.”
"Okay, okay, I'll go check it out."
Bai Luxi stopped checking the group messages and went back to Douyin to watch that blogger's video.
This account posts very few videos, only four: one is a ruler playing video, one is a tutorial video, one is a drawing video, and the other is a video to help people fall asleep.
It seems to be a young girl who's a fan of celebrities? Bai Luxi looked at the blogger's likes and favorites and found many videos of handsome men, beautiful women, and cute pets.
She smiled knowingly, "Looks like we're kindred spirits, hahaha."
She followed the account and then sent a private message: "Hello, I'm a voice actress from Lingyin Studio. I'd like to discuss something with you. If it's convenient, you can add me on WeChat: 5894xxxxxx."
After sending the private message, Bai Luxi opened the comment section of the sleep aid video. There were many voice enthusiasts making bold comments. It seems that she was not the only one who thought the voice was pleasant. Indeed, the public's aesthetic sense is the same.
—I'm sleeping here tonight.
—That voice, I'm certain it's my wife whom I've never met.
—I don't know why, but hearing that sound makes me even more excited, hehehe, drooling.
—I'm feeling sleepy. Thank you, honey. Can we sleep together?
—Go find a sleep aid that suits you, instead of calling my wife "wife" here.
—This voice is so soothing, does anyone understand?!
—Ahhhhh, I love this voice so much!
—Does anyone know what books you're reading?
——@CuteFatBoy is asleep
—I'm getting sleepy just listening to this, going to bed now, see you tomorrow.
Bai Luxi also left a comment below: "Wife, look at me! I sent you a private message!"
This comment was quickly scrolled down again.
Bai Luxi wasn't discouraged. Anyway, if Director Fu felt that the blogger's voice was suitable for Soo-Yin, he would find a way to contact her.
And the other side.
Fu An felt a headache coming on as he looked at the messages coming from the other side and the string of messages popping up in the group. He sighed and opened the Douyin link.
"Come on, treat me like a queen and kiss my hand, how about it?"
A pleasant, sweet female voice came through the headphones, and Fu An was immediately captivated.
How could there be such a voice? It was so vivid and natural, everything was just right, making one want to do as she said, to kiss her hand, to kiss everything about her.
How can there be such a sound? It's so captivating that you'll fall in love with it at first listen.
Fu An conjured up a picture in his mind: a young girl sitting in front of the fireplace, wearing a thin white dress, the fire burning brightly in the fireplace, holding a thick book, reading gently and attentively.
Fu An's Adam's apple bobbed. He leaned back in his chair, motionless, listening intently.
Once everything was over, he immediately opened QQ and asked, "Can you contact this person?"
Bai Luxi didn't reply immediately, so Fu An waited a while and then went to Douyin and sent a private message.
"Hello, I'm Fu An, the director of Lingyin Studio. I think your voice is a perfect fit for a character in our upcoming radio drama. If you're interested in learning more, please contact me at 138xxxxxxxxxx."
After sending the message, he went back to the video and listened to it repeatedly. The voice was very natural and highly versatile. Fu An was certain that if this person was willing to pursue voice acting, given time, she would definitely become a top voice actress.
Fu An couldn't help but get excited. He completely believed Bai Luxi's words. This voice was indeed "Fairy Shaoyin." With such an ethereal and otherworldly voice, even the most discerning listener couldn't find fault with it.
Bai Luxi scrolled through videos for a while and saw a message on her QQ account, which was set to Do Not Disturb. She scrolled down and saw that it was from Director Fu. Resigned, she clicked on it and found that he was asking if she had the contact information of that blogger on Douyin.
Bai Luxi typed: "No, I just found out too. I sent her a private message on the platform, but I don't know when I'll be able to get in touch with her."
The other end replied quickly this time, "Okay, I understand."
“I sent it too. If she contacts you first, remember to give me her contact information.”
Bai Luxi: "Received."
Jiang Lai's video has become even more popular than her previous ones. Perhaps it's because the system's audio enhancement is too outrageous, or perhaps people are indeed more emotional at night. Many people felt that the audio was really helpful for falling asleep, so they sent it to their friends who had insomnia. In modern society, insomnia has almost become a common phenomenon, which has led to a surge in the video's traffic.
001 was overjoyed as it monitored the video's popularity in the background and watched the favorability points increase. If things continued like this, the host would receive a reward, and it would also receive a new body for its excellent performance!
It happily spun around in Jiang Lai's sea of consciousness.
What's even more exciting is that this time, there's actually a lot more goodwill from high-quality people! And it wasn't something the host deliberately tried to win over! It feels like the host is about to reach the pinnacle of life!
Once the video reached 34.8 views, the task was completed, and the system's reward was issued.
