They merely provided some dubbing, yet they positioned themselves even higher than the award-winning actress.

Without someone like Gu Zhinan, who shines on the big screen, what use is there in voice acting behind the scenes?

Do they really think they can sustain their popularity with just game and anime voiceover?

Sister Hua looked down on these voice actors.

Gu Zhinan frowned, surprised as well, “She’s not taking the job?”

She wasn’t one of those talentless, performance-lacking internet celebrities; her voice just wasn’t suitable for this role.

If Homeward Deer was worried about the negative reputation that internet celebrities might bring, Gu Zhinan was a bona fide award-winning actress, a true diva of the screen.

Homeward Deer was perhaps too arrogant.

“If she won’t take it, then so be it. There are plenty of other voice actors. We can find someone else,” Sister Hua said indifferently, unbothered. “Deity Voice isn’t limited to her alone. We chose her because we saw potential, not because there aren’t other options.”

But Sister Hua couldn’t just let this go.

She made calls to the production team to find a new voice actor.

Gu Zhinan’s fame was undeniable, and she certainly didn’t lack voice actors to dub for her; the production quickly found another veteran from Deity Voice, Gleaming Crystal.

Gleaming Crystal not only personally called to greet Gu Zhinan but also assured her warmly that she would complete the dubbing work perfectly.

This was a stark contrast to the aloof Homeward Deer.

Sister Hua was pleased, “No wonder Gleaming Crystal has made a name in the entertainment industry. Homeward Deer has been so elusive for many years, nobody even knows her; look at how people handle things.”

“But can Gleaming Crystal carry this role?” Gu Zhinan was somewhat worried. “She has done a lot of voiceovers, but mostly for school dramas and palace intrigues.”

This series was key to her career transformation; it had to be taken seriously.

“It will be fine. She’s a veteran; how bad could it be?” Sister Hua waved her hand dismissively, “I’ll check into this Homeward Deer and see what her background is.”

If there was something substantial, she might let it slide.

Otherwise, Sister Hua wouldn’t hold back.

Sister Hua reached out to several industry friends.

“Oh, you mean Homeward Deer. People say Homeward Deer is indeed a mystery; she’s never appeared publicly,” one replied. “She’s never shown up at Deity Voice gatherings either, and to this day, not a single photo of her has surfaced. I’m really curious what she looks like.”

It was this mystery that made Homeward Deer’s fan base unusually large.

When Deity Voice was founded, the internet wasn’t widespread.

During the years when the internet peaked, Homeward Deer had vanished.

Thus, no one knew Homeward Deer’s true appearance.

“However, someone in the city of Sijiu thought they saw her last month. Apparently, she’s just a normal student, a grad student,” the friend continued, “She’s about 180 pounds, quite heavy, and has a lot of acne, but it’s not confirmed. Anyway, she’s far from what one would call a goddess.”

This was the industry consensus.

If Homeward Deer had any beauty, she wouldn’t just hide behind the scenes.

But as long as she remained unseen, her fans could still imagine her as a goddess.

Sister Hua narrowed her eyes, “Alright, I understand.”

She knew it.

Without any connections or good looks, she was hyped as a goddess, no wonder she got arrogant.

Gu Zhinan also spoke up, “If she ever shows her face, I bet her fans would all disappear.”

Who could accept their worshipped goddess being ugly and overweight?

“I’ll have someone continue the investigation, leak her photo,” Sister Hua plotted internally. “I’ll also fabricate a few rumors, see how she handles other dubbing jobs then.”

Gu Zhinan had no objections.

She had already been cut off by Third Master LI, and she was anxious.

But there was no other choice but to endure.

She had already distanced herself enough from Si Fuqing. If she couldn’t handle a disdainful voice actor, then all her years in the industry would have been for nothing.

It was time for Homeward Deer to taste the darkness of the entertainment industry.

Public opinion could destroy a star with no background, let alone a voice actor.

“This weekend’s New Year’s Show is also important. Here are the dresses other stars will wear; avoid styles too similar to yours,” Sister Hua advised as she handed over a stack of documents. “Don’t worry about others, just make sure to overshadow Cheng Yiqiao.”

Gu Zhinan nodded.

Cheng Yiqiao was already her defeated foe, nothing to fear.

But the thought of attending the New Year’s Show at Starlight TV and encountering Si Fuqing again made Gu Zhi Nan unable to swallow this grievance.

Why did some people have such good fortune?

Gu Zhinan pursed her lips, tormented on the inside.
