Chapter 354: Mo Xiaoqing’s Face Was Struck With A Loud Clap

Seeing the Weibo post Mo Xiaoqing posted a month ago, Xu Moyan felt that something was fishy no matter how she looked at it.

It mentioned letting Qing Siyu and Qi Shaofeng continue the previous affinity they had. From the way it sounded, why did it feel like similarly, Mo Xiaoqing wanted to continue the former predestined affinity with Wei Zilin?

She knew that the dubbing for the movie, “Massacre”, was different from dubbing for a game. The NCD of the game which she dubbed could be done at home and it was acceptable for it to be fine-tuned at the production stage later on.

However, the “Massacre” could be regarded as the biggest production of the country at the time, having an immense amount of investment. At that time, the entertainment news reported on it scrupulously. It was certain that one had to go to a professional recording studio to dub for a movie. In particular, Qi Shaofeng and Qing Siyu had a lot of scenes together. Wei Zilin and Mo Xiaoqing also probably opted for parts that specifically only had interactions with other people.

As Mo Xiaoqing has kept in touch with Wei Zilin, it was very normal to have thoughts about him.

Thus, Xu Moyan looked at him with a teasing gaze, “Do you think Mo Xiaoqing is having thoughts about you huh?”

Wei Zilin did not mind the question as his eyes were focused on her. At the corner where the fragrance of the coffee pervaded, he flashed a warm smile, “I don’t know, I never noticed her. I don’t even remember what she looks like. It seems I didn’t really get a good look at her properly.”

“The amount you two have acted alongside one another is quite substantial.” Xu Moyan said in shock; her eyes opened widely looking surprised and innocent.

“Yes, but I’m not someone who dubs professionally; I have a career to be busy about. I was called in by Zhuo’zi to go over and help with a bit of dubbing but the condition I agreed on at the time was that it had to work around my schedule. For the greater part of the time, I’d go to the recording studio after work at night. Only me and the few who hadn’t finished dubbing would remain in the recording studio. Since I’m only responsible for Qi Shaofeng’s part, I didn’t need to work together with Mo Xiaoqing. Sometimes I’ll dub for a while when I’m not particularly busy at the company on that day or I’ll do it during the weekends. I actually met her a few times, but I’ve never dubbed in the same recording studio together with her.” Wei Zilin finished explaining earnestly.

Looking at her with a stifled smile, he slightly grazed the tip of her nose, “So I don’t interact with her much and you don’t have to be jealous.”

Although this was what he said, he was smiling with joy overflowing in his black pupils, as if he was happy that she felt jealous.

Xu Moyan felt that she might turn into a vinegar jar¹ because of him.

Slightly puffing up her cheeks, she said in a soft voice, “I don’t really consider it as feeling jealous. I just think that what she said doesn’t really feel right.”

“Does this stem from women’s intuition?” Wei Zilin asked, smiling.

Being stared at by him made her uneasy, Xu Moyan’s gaze fluttered a little, “You could say that.”

Wei Zilin pulled up Mo Xiaoqing’s Weibo again and showed it to Xu Moyan. Beneath the Weibo post, she posted yesterday in the middle of the night; a bunch of Mo Xiaoqing’s fans were comforting her in the comment section.

“Qing-chan you’re the best.”

“Qing-chan, how can you be so kind? Your job has been snatched by someone else, yet you still want to help her promote it. Do you know you get bullied by people very easily as you’re so kind?”

“I feel so sorry for you, Qing-chan. I think she knows you’re so kind, that’s why she dares bully you this way. Although we like the kind-hearted you, you also have to know when to stand up for yourself!”

“She doesn’t dub well at all. A layman is indeed a layman; her voice cannot be heard. Forego the fact that her voice doesn’t have a unique quality to it, but her dubbing doesn’t consist of any particular technique and sounds slightly pretentious as well. Such work truly cannot be given credit especially after having obtained the job through a back door.”

“Isn’t she seducing Yu Linling and Guan Xuan from Nan Yin to become popular? This woman is certainly very sly. What a pity that she is notorious now, instead of famous. Ha ha ha ha ha ha.”

“I wonder how “Massacre OL” will turn out having someone like her who likes to stir up drama. We must make Nan Yin regret asking her to dub. It’s pointless trying to get things through a back door!”

Mo Xiaoqing cleverly chose to remain silent regarding the comments of these fans and did not reply to anyone.

Xu Moyan returned the phone to Wei Zilin and smiled with indifference, “Don’t worry, I’m alright. The matter is only occurring online anyway, and it won’t affect me. I’m so glad now that my identity hasn’t been exposed. Letting them scold me online can’t hurt. I just didn’t expect that merely dubbing for a game can actually involve plotting like “Beyond the Realm of Conscience”.”¹

“It’s not easy working in the dubbing industry. As it’s all behind the scenes, wanting to become well-known is very difficult. Currently, only a few people are recognized in the entire industry. Those who are unknown struggle to get gigs and they have to work hard in fighting for it. Mo Xiaoqing is exactly like this; she obviously wants to take this opportunity to use you to become popular. Besides, “Massacre OL” is released by Nan Yin. Working with Nan Yin is such a large blessing in itself, exposure won’t be something to worry about.” Wei Zilin explained, slightly pondering and squinting his eyes.

Mo Xiaoqing’s must be blind for wanting to use his woman to become popular.

Mo Xiaoqing was not blamed for being like this as Mo Xiaoqing absolutely had no idea about Yu Linling’s true identity.

At the time, Wei Zilin had been requested by Han Zhuoli to go help out, it would be like help just fell from the sky. With that being said, the level of quality in his work was of a very high caliber and it was difficult to come across. Though his techniques were perhaps lackluster, the deficit in technique could be salvaged by his voice. In addition, Wei Zilin had high acuity, so he grasped a plethora of techniques within a short period of time. The quality of his dubbing did not fall short of those who dubbed professionally. Therefore, no one fretted over the fact that he appeared out of nowhere.

On top of that, Wei Zilin wanted to keep a low profile. Thus, Han Zhuoli did not go to the recording studio and only spoke to the director through the phone.

Although the director took great care of Wei Zilin and speculated that Wei Zilin might know someone on the inside, the director did not read into it too much. He did not realize Wei Zilin’s true identity and that he was actually brought in by Han Zhuoli.

Despite so, Mo Xiaoqing also deeply remembered Wei Zilin on the several occasions that they met.

Some men do not need the assistance of status and money, merely depending on personal charisma. They could still make people admire them wholeheartedly and incessantly. This would then be Wei Zilin.

Mo Xiaoqing only thought that Yu Linling was a man full of charisma then and had a particularly favorable impression of him, but she did not know that he was Wei Zilin.

Thus, she only now had the guts to use Xu Moyan to be popular.

Nevertheless, Xu Moyan did not take the matter seriously, so her mood was not affected.

When Wei Zilin saw that, he felt relieved. After the two of them finished drinking coffee, Wei Zilin decided that since they had nothing to do, he would take her to go watch a movie.

Come to think of it, the two of them had not yet gone to the cinema for a date.

On that afternoon, “Massacre OL”, including Nan Jingheng himself had made a statement.

The official Weibo account of “Massacre OL” stated that they had never invited Mo Xiaoqing before. On the contrary, Mo Xiaoqing took the initiative to contact their company, expressing her desire to dub for Qing Siyu.

However, the official Weibo account said without showing any deference that Mo Xiaoqing maybe suited to dub for the movie as the sound effect was different from the game when it was being played at the cinema but she was not of a high enough quality to work on the game.

While “Massacre OL” was selecting people to dub, what would be considered first was whether the voice corresponded with the distinct characteristic of the game or not; the important points of selecting a game character were different from the movie. The other very significant deciding factor was the popularity of the voice actor on the Internet.

Thus, the majority of the NPC voice actors of “Massacre OL” were popular online voice actors. They may not be very famous in real life and never took any gig of commercial dubbing previously, yet they had a respectable reputation in the fictional world of anime, comics and games, and able to call for a very large number of fans.

Even if some commercial voice actors were invited, it was not difficult to discover that they were all gurus who turned into commercial voice actors from regular online voice actors. Even if they did not dub online, they still had a large number of loyal fans on the Internet.

This was one strength that the commercial voice actors did not possess.

On the other hand, Mo Xiaoqing was not considered famous in commercial dubbing and had much lesser fans compared to other online voice actors. As a result, she did not have the power to rally people.

Therefore, Mo Xiaoqing would not be chosen even if Moyan was not selected.

As for Moyan, the boss appointed her after hearing her voice. It also went through the approval of the professional staff, thinking that she truly suited the set up that was given to Qing Siyu in the game.

Regardless of the timbre or the popularity on the Internet, she corresponded with the requirement of “Massacre OL”.

Apart from Massacre OL Official, Nan Jingheng also posted a statement on Weibo.

He said that only the developers of the company behind the game and those at a senior level knew about “Massacre OL” wanting to update the game, creating new ranks, maps, duplication, and NPC. Before “Massacre OL” made an official release, he only let it spill that one time at Weibo.

However, the news was always kept confidential before this. Of course, it did not prevent Mo Xiaoqing from making use of connections to discover the news.

That being said, the company had never publicly recruited anyone to dub and never contacted Mo Xiaoqing before. They never even explicitly or implicitly stated that they intended to let Mo Xiaoqing dub the voice of Qing Siyu. All of this was nothing but Mo Xiaoqing’s wishful thinking; even the Weibo post she posted a month ago was baffling as well.

The company and Nan Jingheng himself never paid attention to Mo Xiaoqing; hence, they were not aware of the Weibo post. As she only had a small number of fans, the Weibo post did not give rise to a substantial response.

To be frank, they would look for someone else other than Mo Xiaoqing.

The manner in which Nan Jingheng spoke in his Weibo post was extremely rude and straightforward, his words hitting Mo Xiaoqing like a truck.
