Pampered by the School Bully-Chapter 1055 - 1042: August 17, Game Release!

After Pu Sangzhi suggested using their own people for voice acting, everyone in the dorm, except for Huo Feng, was surprised and wide-eyed...

Because everyone present, except for Huo Feng, had particularly thin skin.

No one had thought of volunteering for something that required stepping out and performing.

Even Ye Qingcao, who was usually very carefree, definitely hadn’t considered having their people do the voice acting.

It’s important to know that voice acting is not a simple task...

Voice actors don’t just read lines; they have to read them with emotion, which is basically another form of acting...

Anyway, after Pu Sangzhi made this suggestion, only Huo Feng nodded in agreement, "Actually, using our own people for voice acting might work~ At least it saves some money! You save about 2000 bucks per person!"

As a partner, Huo Feng was truly short on funds...

So, despite initially wanting to pay someone for voice acting, Huo Feng was forced by the harsh reality of his situation... Naturally, saving money was the best choice!

However, Yan Siyuan felt it was unwise, "You say using our own people for voice acting... If it’s to save money, it’s possible, but will this kind of voice acting have quality? I believe that we should spend where necessary; some areas can be economized, but some cannot, and voice actors shouldn’t be skimped on."

"Let’s give it a try then..."

Considering the financial constraints, Huo Feng thought it was worth a shot, "We can try it ourselves first. Who knows, the results might be good? It doesn’t mean that if we do it ourselves, we’ll end up with a low-quality product..."

Yan Siyuan asked: "How do we try?"

Huo Feng thought for a moment, then said: "Alright, the four of us will each voice two characters. We’ll rent a recording studio tomorrow afternoon and record the lines first. Then we’ll take them back and see how they fit in the game."

Yan Siyuan refused: "Don’t count me in, I don’t know how."

Ye Qingcao also hesitated and shook her head, "Brother Feng... I don’t know how either... and I feel my voice isn’t nice."

At this moment, Pu Sangzhi was very supportive of Huo Feng and led by saying, "I can try. I can voice a girl with a cool demeanor and a gentle demeanor."

Not only did Pu Sangzhi set an example, but she also actively pulled Ye Qingcao along, "Xiaocao, you can voice a girl with a cute demeanor and a fiery demeanor. Just pick characters that suit your personality for voicing, so the lines should come out more naturally."

"Ah..."

Ye Qingcao was a bit embarrassed, fidgeting with her fingers, "But I don’t know... I’ve never studied this field..."

Pu Sangzhi quickly encouraged Ye Qingcao, "Nobody’s studied this field, we’re all first-timers, so let’s learn together. I think using our own people for voice acting is a good idea because if we have quality, at least we’ll save over 10,000 bucks. With eight main characters and eight different personalities, everyone picks the roles that suit their personalities for voicing. Tonight, we can go back and cram on voice acting knowledge, learn as much as possible, it might not be as hard as we imagine."

"Right~ Wife is absolutely right~"

Huo Feng nodded affirmatively to Pu Sangzhi’s words and took the liberty to assign Yan Siyuan, "Yan Ji, you voice a male lead with a cool demeanor and a shy demeanor. I’ll voice a sunny boy and a domineering boy~ How about it?"

Yan Siyuan felt it was not great...

But since Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng both said so, he couldn’t say much more.

After all, he and Huo Feng were partners, so they had to discuss everything together.

Huo Feng’s lack of funds was also a situation Yan Siyuan needed to consider.

"Then let me lay it out upfront..."

Yan Siyuan raised an eyebrow slightly, "I’m completely clueless about this, so don’t place too much hope on me. If in the end, you guys record something decent and only mine isn’t good, I can pay out of my pocket to have someone else record my two characters."

"Go ahead, you have the money, do whatever you want!" Huo Feng completely agreed with Yan Siyuan.

Considering he’s probably a rich second generation, his personal savings alone could support the entire studio.

Speaking of which...

Huo Feng really believed, if Yan Ji wanted to start a studio and pursue business, he could totally succeed on his own with his own funds and capabilities.

Yan Ji even partnered up with him~ Not knowing what he was after...

Thinking about it, Huo Feng figured he might be after his thick skin...

"So it’s settled on voice acting then."

Yan Siyuan nodded, "The music stuff is settled, voice acting is decided, next is scheduling. Tomorrow morning, the two of us will go to Lexiang Studio to place the order and settle the music stuff. You’ll sing the theme song to save on hiring fees. Tomorrow afternoon, if you’re ready, you can also get the voice acting done. But I suggest taking a few more days to prepare, carefully studying the lines and roles, and try to get it right the first time. How’s that sound?"

Huo Feng fully agreed with Yan Siyuan’s plan, "Sounds great, let’s do it!"

Yan Siyuan continued, "There’s one more thing, I’ve booked a flight back to Hangzhou for the day after tomorrow at noon. I need to go back to Hangzhou first, go to the business bureau to get the studio’s business license, and register the game’s copyright and intellectual property. It may take several days. During these days, Xiaocao will stay in Beijing, so I’ll leave her in your care, is that okay?"

"Ah~ You’re going back to Hangzhou alone~ Can’t I go with you?" Ye Qingcao hugged him reluctantly.

Yan Siyuan gently rubbed the back of her head, whispered as he lowered his head, "You should stay here, traveling back and forth with me would be tiring, and costs extra airfare for one more person."

Upon hearing his money-saving intentions, Ye Qingcao reluctantly agreed, "Alright... I’ll stay here then. You better come back soon..."

"Okay." Yan Siyuan nodded.

Yan Siyuan looked up at Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi sitting opposite him, and continued to discuss his plans: "While I’m away from Beijing, Huo Feng, try to perfect all the content in the game. Go on 58.com, post job listings, and hire two engineers, an accountant, an HR (Human Resources), and a cleaner. We’re a small studio, and that’s all we need for now. Hire directly to Hangzhou; when the time comes, I’ll be there to interview them at the studio."

Huo Feng nodded, "OK."

"Also..."

Yan Siyuan continued his plan, "Once the 600,000 funds are in place, buy servers immediately, start with 10 to ensure 10 game service areas can run properly. Then, release the game on August 17, which is an auspicious day for launching something new. As for the promotion methods, we’ll discuss after I return to Beijing."

Yan Siyuan had already meticulously arranged steps and schedule for the next half month.

Partnering with him, Huo Feng found it indeed saved him a lot of time and effort.

"Alright, I’ll follow your lead."

Huo Feng nodded repeatedly, "By the way, if Director Lu asks us to shoot at his place during that time?"

Yan Siyuan said, "Follow his arrangement, whatever he says, just a matter of a few days."

Huo Feng: "Oh..."

Yan Siyuan continued: "I’ve said all I needed to, no further arrangements."

"Alright, let’s execute according to your plan! That’s it for today’s meeting." Huo Feng summarized.

With the discussion finished, the night meeting came to an end.

The entire time, Pu Sangzhi, Yan Siyuan, and Huo Feng focused on key points, while Ye Qingcao and Gu Erhao listened quietly from the side.

Although it was just a small meeting held in a dormitory, it had the seriousness of a formal conference.

Gu Erhao silently watched this group of young people forging their careers with admiration, genuinely impressed!

Surrounded by such ambitious and passionate young people, Gu Erhao’s previously idle heart quietly stirred with a strong desire to venture out!

How much he wanted to join in!

...

At 10 p.m., returning after the meeting in the boys’ dorm, Pu Sangzhi and Ye Qingcao began working hard on voice acting for the game.

To support Yan Siyuan, Ye Qingcao played through 8 story modes of the game, experiencing the love stories of 8 male and female protagonists.

Therefore, Ye Qingcao has her understanding of the storyline, character emotions, and lines in the game.

Back in the girls’ dorm, Ye Qingcao started logging into the game, searching for lines from important scenes for each character.

Meanwhile, Pu Sangzhi was searching online for professional knowledge needed by voice actors.

As she searched, Pu Sangzhi discovered a variety show—[The Sound].

This show presents how celebrities in the entertainment industry perform when dubbing roles...

Pu Sangzhi immediately put on her headphones and started watching...

Taking this chance, she got introduced to the world of voice acting.
