Chapter 168 The Value of Seiyuu? (seeking subscription)

Qiao Min is a voice actor.

To be precise, she is a main singer and part-time seiyuu dubbing various animation works.

Unlike other voice actors, who can occasionally take over dubbing for games, film and television dramas, etc., her dubbing business scope is limited to TV animation.

Do not misunderstand!
Just because she can't get other jobs doesn't mean she's not good at business.It's just that her debut was too late, and she hasn't made a name for herself in the industry yet, so there are very few works where she is dubbed.

So far, Qiao Min has only one fixed channel for receiving jobs, and that is Jiangchuan Wanbao Animation Co., Ltd.

The fate between her and Wanbao is interesting...

Qiao Min, who had just graduated from school, was in urgent need of a job. After all, she was about to be unable to pay the rent, and she didn't want to ask her family for money.

So, under the guidance of her eldest cousin, Qiao Min stepped into the "dubbing" industry for the first time, and received her first job in life, dubbing the animation character "Pleasant Goat".

The partner is Wolf Castle Studio.

At that time, the Wolf Castle studio was poor, and Mr. Gu was not as "upstart" as he is now. He was dressed in flip-flops + ripped jeans, and his mouth was filled with chicken soup of "dream > bread".

Maybe it's because of being poor...

The salary offered by Wolf Castle Studio was very low, and most professional voice actors looked down on them, so they gave Qiao Min, a newcomer, a chance.

"Now that I think about it, it was a fantastic experience."

A newcomer to dubbing, he received the lead role for the first time, and the animation was extremely popular, and the ratings broke records one after another.

Qiao Min has expressed emotion more than once that she is so lucky that she was dubbed for the very popular animated character "Pleasant Goat" for the first time.

Moreover, he also sang the theme song for this animation.

Speaking of...

That's a lot of fun too!
Because when dubbing, Mr. Gu, who was so poor that he couldn't bear to eat instant noodles, knew that she was studying music, so he immediately decided to let her sing the theme song.

Well, it makes sense.

After all, the Wolfsburg studio at that time couldn't afford to hire a professional singer, so it made sense to find her to make do with it. Anyway, Qiao Min was also a professional musician.

Then, the nightmare began.

After the animation "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" ended, Qiao Min thought that her fate with Wanbao was over.

Unexpectedly, a person surnamed "Ma" called her one day and asked her if she was interested in singing the theme song for Wanbao's new work "Lei Su Deng Lightning Crossing the Line".

Qiao Min originally wanted to pick it up.

But for her voice, the feeling of singing this song "Lightning Crossing the Line" is really strange. It would be better for boys to sing, so she recommended her big cousin.

After that, she and her cousin became the queen voice actors and theme song singers of Wanbao Animation, and successively participated in the production of many animations.

It continues to this day...

Thanks to the animations produced by Wanbao, each one is very popular and the characters are well-known. As a voice actor, Qiao Min has also gained fame in the industry.

The grace of dripping water must be repaid by the spring!
Qiao Min is very grateful to Mr. Gu for giving her the opportunity, so although her dubbing value has increased, she will "lower her own value" every time she dubs Wanbao Animation.

This is also an alternative "win-win"!

Although she will get less money for dubbing Wanbao, the quality of the animation produced by Wanbao is guaranteed, and the ratings are also guaranteed. Generally speaking, it is not a loss.

after all……

Who doesn't like that the animations and characters I have provided are loved by more audiences and fans?

But she never expected it.

This company surnamed Gu is getting bigger and bigger, but the people are getting more and more rascal.

The animation dubbing of "Happy Baby" this time, not only let her play the three main characters by herself, but also want her to sing the theme song?

Get four jobs for a penny?
Gan!
Qiao Min was planning to run away with a bucket at that time, which was too inappropriate.She doubted that if she continued to stay in the dubbing team, would she still have to be responsible for cleaning in the future?
In the end, Mr. Gu persuaded her.

"calm down!"

"Miss Qiao, you don't want your cousin to lose his job, do you?"

The devil's whispers lingered in her ears, remembering her cousin who had been taking care of her since she was a child for dubbing "Superman" this time, Qiao Min gave in.

"That's right!"

Mr. Gu smiled happily, patted his chest and assured him: "Of course, I'm not some devil! You two brothers and sisters have made great achievements for Wanbao, and you will hang out with me in the future, and I promise to make you popular and delicious."

With that said, Mr. Gu took out a brokerage contract.

Qiao Min didn't really want to sign.

Although this brokerage contract has very good conditions, it is also very binding.After signing Wanbao, it will not be so easy to pick up jobs in the future.

simply put.

Life is a man of Wanbao, and death is a ghost of Wanbao!As long as she signs, she will be Mr. Gu's person from now on, and her career future is completely tied to Wanbao.

"correct!"

Seeing that Qiao Min was not very happy to sign, Gu Miao pretended to be unintentional and said: "Vice President Ma told me just now that your cousin seems to have signed."

"Miss Qiao, you don't want to..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Qiao Min couldn't stand this stuff, so she decisively picked up a pen to write on the contract and signed her name.

After signing, she complained: "I don't understand, voice actors are considered behind-the-scenes workers? Is there any use for you to sign us?"

Voice actors are not stars!
In Huaguo, voice actors are at the bottom of the food chain. Who cares about the voice actor of a certain character?
So Qiao Min couldn't figure it out.

What is Gu Miao's intention in putting so much effort into signing her with her cousin?
Figure she looks pretty?

Not so much!

Who is Gu Miao?The well-known diamond bachelor in Jiangchuan wants to climb into his bed and become the young girl of "Mrs. Gu".

Since it's not for beauty, it can only be for profit!But a voice actor, half a third-rate singer, what are the benefits?

"You don't understand this!"

Since it's her own family, Gu Miao didn't mind revealing some inside information to Qiao Min, and took the initiative to explain: "The profession of voice acting actually has great value..."

The premise is that it must be on fire!

Not popular, not well-known voice actors, really have no squeeze value.But if it is very popular and well-known, it will be different.

The reason why Gu Miao signed Qiao Min was mainly because she felt that this girl had potential, so she could properly divert resources to "praise her"!
It can be said that there are many benefits for an animation company to have a "highly popular" voice actor.

Do not believe?

Isn't it interesting that Neon next door uses "famous voice actors to join" as a publicity gimmick to attract countless fans?
If Wanbao can also support a well-known voice actor, wouldn't it be easy to promote the animation under her banner in the future!
Even bolder...

Not only animation promotion, but Qiao Min can even be managed as a star in the future, and she can accept endorsements and commercials, and even broadcast live broadcasts on shows. You can try these things.
