In Ningjiang 1919 Bar Street, in a literary and artistic Western restaurant, Wei Xuefeng was wearing the clothes of a waiter, busy serving and ordering.

This restaurant is not a serious Western food, but a combination of Chinese and Western style, and the waiter's clothes are biased towards Western style, but in Wei Xuefeng's opinion, it is just to reduce the normal portion of the dish to a quarter and then use a plate three times the size to pack the dish.

However, the business of this shop was unexpectedly good, and it was not until 11 o'clock in the evening that Wei Xuefeng was finally able to rest.

"How's your audition today?"

A colleague who has a good relationship with Wei Xuefeng asked.

"Well, so-so."

Wei Xuefeng took out the kettle from his locker and took a sip.

Although he has been in the industry for three years, because he does not have long-term meal tickets such as long-form serialized animations or dubbing for mobile online games, and unlike those celebrities who can make a lot of money at once, Wei Xuefeng does not have a stable source of income, and he also works in this restaurant in addition to dubbing work.

This is not uncommon in the voice actor industry, where many well-known voice actors are struggling to make ends meet when they are new and have to stay in big cities such as Ningjiang or Jingping to find opportunities, so many newcomers have to rely on other jobs to make ends meet.

Wei Xuefeng knew that even singers and voice actors like Su Liyu, who are now very popular, used to sing in bars at the beginning and lived a poor life.

Waiters, delivery people, warehouse managers, cashiers, and even industry seniors joke that they are quite a voice actor, and they have to learn to work first.

Changing her clothes, Wei Xuefeng rode a bicycle and went home alone in the late autumn night, where she lived was relatively close to the place where she worked, even if it was half of the city, the rent of two thousand five could only rent a modified single room.

Back home, Wei Xuefeng lay down directly on the bed, and today's audition made her very stressed, perhaps because of the arrival of so many seniors, or because she had a little more expectations in her heart.

Phantom animation also has a different legend among the voice actors, Su Liyu was discovered back then, and then the five voice actors of "Madoka Magical Girl" also had their own breakthroughs.

Every work under Xu Rui is a hit, and even the voice actors in it have become popular, and they have all won many important roles next, so for newcomers like Wei Xuefeng, who hasn't been selected when they have done an audition and become the protagonist of the new phantom animation dream?

The room was very quiet, and the residential buildings outside had gradually fallen into a deep sleep, Wei Xuefeng gathered his mind, picked up his mobile phone and casually opened the latest episode of a favorite variety show.

“...... It's really annoying, I often have to go to activities, and I can't keep up with the progress of the school......"

In the phone is a young and beautiful looking girl, who is being interviewed.

This variety show often invites some people in the animation industry to participate, including directors, original artists, and more voice actors, and the girl in front of her is obviously a voice actor.

Wei Xuefeng knew and knew that this was the dubbing of an idol animation, and with the broadcast of the animation, he debuted as a member of the idol group, and he was still in high school, but the attention of his Weibo account was already hundreds of thousands.

"It's a hypocrisy......"

Wei Xuefeng muttered to himself, this kind of person is like a guy who studies hard until late at night every night, and after getting a high score in the exam, he still tells everyone that he didn't review at all, which is really heart-wrenching for the relatively ordinary Wei Xuefeng.

"Don't look at it, I have to finish the work tomorrow."

Instead of drowning in jealousy, she patted her face, sat up, and prepared for the next day's work.

......

A few days later, in the conference room, Xu Rui and others finally determined the final list of voice actors.

"Well, although this is a newcomer, the performance is very good, and I think it fits the character's characteristics of gradually finding his own path in ignorance."

He looked at the name of the voice actor of the protagonist on the list, this is a relatively new newcomer, according to the information, she has not won any famous roles, and her past performance can only be said to be average, but the audition performance is very good.

"But I didn't expect that Su Liyu, who debuted as a young girl before, would get such a role."

Cheng Ke smiled, this list is indeed full of surprises.

"If you want me to say, Teacher Lin Xuenai is the one who sacrifices the most."

Sound director Tian Zihui is not an employee of Phantom Animation, but many collaborations have made her a good partner of Phantom Electric.

"yes, haha, I don't know how the audience will react when they see her performance."

Cheng Ke scratched his head and said.

"Then please contact Mr. Tian first."

Xu Rui finally said.

Originally, the selection of voice actors for idol animation like this is a big problem, and in terms of the production committee system, the sponsor behind it must make a lot of instructions in the selection of voice actors, and the game during the period is enough to make people tired, and the final effect is not satisfactory.

For example, some voice actors who have good appearance but poor dubbing skills will be arranged by sponsors into the protagonist team, resulting in a poor look and feel of the animation, but those voice actors with excellent voice acting skills but ordinary appearance will be excluded.

But "Songhai Idol is Legend" is a wholly-owned animation of Phantom Electric Animation, and there is no need to care about those messy production committees, and it is precisely because of this that Xu Rui can choose the most suitable voice actor for animation.

This is actually one of the reasons why the quality of every anime has been extremely high since "Madoka Magical Girl".

Because of the sufficient funds, Phantom Animation does not need to rely on the production committee to share the risk, and then does not need to consider the intentions of investors, and can make animations wholeheartedly, which in turn makes the quality of animations extremely high, which forms a cycle.

The original painting part of "Your Name" has been completed, the production process of the film version of "Music Girl" has been completed, and after determining the dubbing list of "Songhai Idol is Legend", the animation production progress here is also on track, although Yi Qianqian is working from home, but the efficiency is extremely high, and the character design was released in just one week, plus Xu Rui's storyboard performance script that has been completed long ago, and the original painting work began in mid-October.

In addition, because Xu Rui required all the dance scenes to be hand-painted, the storyboard of this part of the original painting came out earlier, synchronized with the production process of the feature film, and was carried out together.

The production process went smoothly, and Xu Rui naturally finalized the schedule for the broadcast of "Songhai Idol is Legend" in January next year, and when November came, the Phantom Animation official conveniently announced most of the staff lists, including voice actors.

This again caused controversy.
