Chapter 17: You... Just Said Your Game Was Called What?!

The Drama Academy cafeteria offered a wide variety of breakfast options, and since he had promised to treat Lin Su to breakfast, Qin Qin Xiaoyu naturally wouldn't be stingy.

He asked very considerately about the types of food Lin Su liked, then ordered a meal according to her preferences.

Watching Qin Qin Xiaoyu serve the food, Lin Su, who was following behind him, thought that this "boss" seemed quite good: handsome, easygoing, and very considerate.

"Let's go sit over there and eat!"

After serving the breakfast, Qin Qin Xiaoyu pointed to a table by the window not far away; there were few people there, which would make conversation easier later.

Lin Su had no objections to this suggestion.

Although Lin Su's personality was usually carefree, since she didn't know Qin Qin Xiaoyu very well, she hesitated for a few seconds before picking up her chopsticks and couldn't help but ask:

"By the way, you just said you needed my help with something; what exactly is it?"

Actually,

she had always wanted to ask this question. After all, she was just a freshman in the voice acting department, and she really couldn't figure out what kind of help Qin Qin Xiaoyu could possibly need from her.

Originally, Qin Qin Xiaoyu had planned to speak up only after Lin Su finished her breakfast.

Although the breakfast wasn't expensive, once you accept someone's handout, you're in their debt; by then, she probably wouldn't be able to refuse.

But obviously,

this girl might look carefree, but she wasn't the type with a big chest and no brain; she was the kind of girl who was rough on the outside but detailed on the inside.

However,

under the current circumstances, he really had no other choice, so he spoke the truth directly:

"Here's the situation: I'd like to ask for your help to communicate with the school's teachers and borrow your school's recording studio.

Our studio was just established recently and hasn't been equipped with recording equipment yet."

If it were an ordinary person, Qin Qin Xiaoyu probably would have just started bluffing right away, but he did have certain principles in how he conducted himself.

When asking others for help, it's best to be sincere.

"You... are quite honest..."

After hearing Qin Qin Xiaoyu's words, Lin Su's lips moved slightly, and she responded with a somewhat helpless smile.

To be honest,

right now, Lin Su really felt like she might have been scammed.

Although she was still a freshman voice actor, after enrolling, she had communicated quite a bit with senior students.

She had heard about some of the industry's rules.

Generally speaking, game manufacturers or TV drama production companies that hire voice actors always provide a recording studio.

At the very least, they would rent a recording studio to use.

Asking to borrow the school's equipment, as Qin Qin Xiaoyu was doing, was truly the first time she had ever heard of such a thing.

If she hadn't had a fairly good impression of Qin Qin Xiaoyu and didn't think he looked like a bad person, after hearing this request, Lin Su would have definitely said her goodbyes and left immediately without looking back.

"May I ask what game you are making? Also, for the character I'm supposed to voice, is there a lot of dialogue?"

Glancing quickly at Qin Qin Xiaoyu's face, Lin Su didn't refuse directly; instead, she decided to learn more about the game she was supposed to voice before making a decision.

If there were only a few lines, or perhaps a dozen lines of dialogue, she wouldn't want to waste any more time.

"Genshin Impact!"

Qin Qin Xiaoyu didn't hide it. "After communicating with you that day, I personally felt that your voice type is very suitable for the character of Jean, the Acting Grand Master.

So I plan to give you this role. As for the dialogue, there is actually quite a lot.

Let me first introduce the character of Jean, the Acting Grand Master..."

As he spoke these words, Qin Qin Xiaoyu suddenly stopped, looking puzzledly at the exaggerated expression on Lin Su's face, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"You... what did you just say?"

Lin Su's eyes widened to the point of being round, and her delicate face was filled with disbelief as she looked at Qin Qin Xiaoyu. "The... the Little Broken Station, that... the game ranked number one, was made by... you?"

Due to her excitement, Lin Su's tone of speech suddenly became somewhat incoherent.

As a future voice actor, Lin Su and her classmates were very familiar with the website called Little Broken Station.

Naturally, she had also paid attention to the game that had almost washed over the trending videos on Little Broken Station these past two days.

But she really never expected that the game she was supposed to voice would be this one.

So,

when she heard Qin Qin Xiaoyu mention the two words "Genshin Impact," she was completely stunned, even finding it hard to believe what her ears had just heard.

"You've heard of our game?"

Qin Qin Xiaoyu was momentarily stunned, but he quickly realized that it was better for Lin Su to have heard of it; this way, he would save himself some effort in explaining.

"You really want to give me the voice role of Jean, the Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius?"

Lin Su blinked her eyes a couple of times, looking at Qin Qin Xiaoyu with some nervousness, and asked.

For a voice actor, having a blockbuster representative work was a dream for countless people.

Putting everything else aside for now,

in the future, she would basically never worry about finding work; many producers would line up to actively seek cooperation.

Moreover, the prices offered would often be significantly higher than those for ordinary voice actors with no notable works.

Just take their senior students as an example.

If they didn't have any impressive works during university, even if they found a voice acting job after graduation, their salary wouldn't be very high.

Typically, it would be just two or three hundred Renminbi per thousand characters of dialogue.

Or even lower!

But if they had an impressive work, the situation would naturally be different, and the starting price would be very high.

If it were a character with relatively little dialogue, the starting price would generally be ten thousand Renminbi.

Characters with many lines could earn ten yuan per word, or even more.

This is truly without a shred of exaggeration.

In the past, whenever she heard that a senior had landed a good role, she and her circle of friends couldn't help but cast envious glances.

Who would have thought.

Such a good thing would luckily fall upon them, a group of freshmen.

If that group of seniors found out, their mouths would probably be watering with envy, right?

"Yes, Commander Qin suits you well. Of course, if you don't like it, I have other roles available. As a condition for helping out, you can pick one yourself."

Although Qin Qin Xiaoyu felt Lin Su was more suitable for the role of Commander Qin, if she insisted on choosing another character, it wouldn't matter.

After all, voice actors are monsters...

"No, no need! Commander Qin is great; I really like this role! How about we go record right now?"

Lin Su hurriedly shook her head, as if fearing Qin Qin Xiaoyu might change his mind.

She had watched Tonghao Mama's video, which contained quite a bit of footage and audio of Commander Qin, and she felt quite fond of the character.

Moreover.

It seemed to be a relatively important role, so the lines would naturally not be few; there was absolutely no need to switch.

"Eat breakfast first!"

Seeing Lin Su's contrasting demeanor before and after, Qin Qin Xiaoyu couldn't help but chuckle: "Recording takes a long time; how can you have the energy without eating your fill?"

"Hehe, you make a bit of sense. Then I won't stand on ceremony!"

Lin Su smiled generously, then immediately picked up her breakfast from the tray and began eating in small bites...
