[Came back to life?!]
[A big shot appears, and the newbie trembles in fear.]
[No, why two people? Why not five? Whereâs the extra? Director, youâd better not use your privilege to go yourself, we must compete for this!]
[Darn it, Homeward Deer, how did you know I have a new project coming up? I was just thinking about whom to choose! Your timing is perfect, Iâm booking a flight to Lin City right now!]
The chat group of Deity Voiceâs veterans was buzzing with activity.
Six years ago, when the trend of ancient-style music rose, Deity Voice was established.
Now, six years later, it had become the strongest voice guidance in the dubbing industry.
Many hit TV dramas had sought Deity Voice for their dubbing needs, including the hugely popular school drama âRapid Romanceâ starring Bie Yunxi.
It wasnât Bie Yunxiâs original voice in the show, but the voice of Serene Delight, a goddess-level veteran of Deity Voice.
Serene Delight possessed a versatile voice, capable of multiple tones aggressive, defensive, and gentle, highly distinctive and beloved by fans.
Her voice played a significant role in attracting more viewers to the drama.
But Deity Voiceâs veterans werenât just dubbing for TV dramas; they were skilled in singing and dancing too.
Most notably, the Eastern faction roles in the game âOracleâ were dubbed by Deity Voice, especially the popular assassin and bard roles.
Both roles, with their distinctively masculine voice lines, were voiced by the same voice actor â Upon Brocade.
His voice had become so well-known that even those who hadnât played Oracle recognized his line, âKill a man in ten steps, leave no trace in a thousand miles. â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Yu Tang even used this line as his alarm ringtone.
Si Fuqing, pondering with a hand on her chin, made a decision as she watched the flickering avatars in the group chat.
[Homeward Deer]: Okay, Serene Delight, youâre in. You have home field advantage. And Upon Brocade, you come too. Iâve thought of a great solution.
[Serene Delight]: No problem, heading to Lin City, right? Iâm in East State, it wonât take long.
[Upon Brocade]: Alright, Iâll be there tomorrow.
[Mighty Dark]: Darn it, why not choose me?!
[Homeward Deer]: Because only Serene Delight and Upon Brocade have shown their faces. My project requires it.
[Mighty Dark]: Sigh, okay. Iâm not as good-looking. Let Serene Delight and the others show their faces. With them there, the otaku world will go crazy. Only someone like you could invite them both.
Serene Delight and Upon Brocade were already top-tier voice actors in the industry.
However, their collaborations had become rare since Deity Voiceâs rise.
Their only major collaboration was for the national animation âUnder Heaven, â which had become phenomenally popular and even received a nomination for the best animation from Glenn.
rlhvvo years had passed, and countless fans still begged for their collaboration again on the official Weibo, but the sequel was nowhere in sight.
[Director]: Little Deer, why did you decide to call-it-quit back then? If you hadnât, you couldâve been invited to voice in Oracle. Do you know how much Upon Brocade was paid? Eight figures!
Si Fuqing raised her eyebrows and replied coolly.
[Homeward Deer]: My parents wouldnât let me play, so I had to go offline QWQ
[Mighty Dark]: ? Youâre not a minor, are you? Donât scare me. Your voice doesnât sound like a kidâs.
Though the veterans of Deity Voice were all versatile in their voices, Homeward Deerâs ability to switch between male and female voices was particularly astonishing.
Si Fuqing shrugged her shoulders.
She was, in fact, only eighteen years old.
[Mighty Dark]: Never mind that, if itâs just two people, itâs just two. But we all should go. How can we miss this chance when Homeward Deer himself has suggested a meet-up?
The other veterans agreed, except one.
[Gleaming Crystal]: Iâll pass. You guys go ahead. Iâve got some things to handle and canât make the time.
Just as Si Fuqing was about to close the chat, a private message popped up. It was from Serene Delight.
[Serene Delight]: Gleaming Crystal doesnât really hang out with us much anymore. Recently busy in the film industry. There have been many changes since you left, Deity Voice isnât the same as it was.
[Homeward Deer]: Youâre still here.
[Serene Delight]: Actually, I was about to leave too, waiting for you. Thankfully, I waited. So, I wonât go now. Little Deer, welcome back.
Si Fuqingâs hand paused, and she fell silent for a moment. So many people had been waiting for her.
At that moment, Yu Tang knocked on the door. âQingqing, come down for supper.â
Si Fuqing snapped back to reality. âComing.â
Downstairs, Yu Xiheng sat on the sofa, still in his suit and leather shoes..
