"Du Hang." Du Hang seemed to be a little shy about revealing that he was also a writer in front of Lady Zhao. After all, he had yet to make a name for himself.
"Du Hang, too? Did you just use your original name?" Zhao Youyue misunderstood because "Du Hang" and "Du Hang" had the same pronunciation.
"Not the original name. It's' Du 'as in' cross. '" Du Hang explained.
"I see … What's the name of your light novel? I'll read it when I'm free." Zhao Youyue maintained her gentle and kind demeanor.
However, Du Hang did not appreciate it. He did not like to advertise his works to others, because he did not think that there was anything to brag about. His purpose in writing was extremely pure. He preferred to let nature take its course. If he could become popular, so be it. If not, he could still make a living. That was enough. Anyway, with his style, no matter what, he had a group of loyal fans.
"You really don't have to be so courteous. When the quality of my work improves, and I become more famous, you will naturally be attracted to it. If you only read it out of politeness, it would be superfluous, whether it's for you or for myself." Du Hang always liked to hit the nail on the head.
Fortunately, Lady Zhao had seen many battles. She knew Du Hang's personality very well. Therefore, she could still tolerate a guy like him who was full of thorns.
Truly talented people were always worthy of respect. Perhaps they were talented because they were full of personality. When they lost their personality, they would fade into the crowd, and their spirituality would cease to exist.
At that moment, Han Leng spoke, "Du Hang's serialized light novel is called" Girl Number. "It's a novel with a female VA as the main character. Rather than calling it a light novel, it's more of a novel that satirizes the industry. Even though Lady Zhao is also a VA, you're just playing around. You're not a real professional VA. However, once you read this work, you'll know how to become an idol VA. With your looks and voice, it doesn't matter how bad your dubbing skills are. "
Initially, Zhao Youyue was not very interested in Du Hang's light novel. She thought that it would be a very traditional romance novel, with a male protagonist surrounded by many cute girls. She never expected that Du Hang would write a story with a female protagonist, and that the female protagonist was a voice actress!
This piqued Zhao Youyue's interest. She had wanted to buy the light novel "Everyone in the World But Me Is Asleep," and Du Hang's "Girl Number."
"Actually, Zhao Youyue, or should I say Ah Yu, is a capable VA that I highly approve of. Before I met her, I had always admired the way she only did voice acting seriously. She never tried to create hype, and she never showed her face. I thought to myself that a VA like her was a rarity in the industry. However, she might not be suited for the industry at all. Fortunately, her main profession was not a VA. Otherwise, she would have been eliminated by the increasingly fickle industry, and her life would have become a problem …"
"Are you flattering me?" Zhao Youyue said happily. She seemed to be very satisfied with Du Hang, who liked to speak the truth.
He was a man who did not know how to flatter others. He did not know how to suck up to others. He was a stubborn straight man who pursued the real thing. Yet, words of praise came from the bottom of his heart.
"I'm not flattering you! Besides, I still find it hard to believe that you are Yu Shengfan's VA, and Altair and Jane Doe Su. The dubbing was amazing. It felt like you were one with the characters. You were them, and they were you. Even the most experienced VA in the industry could not do such a thing. "Du Hang said, half confused and half in disbelief.
Since he was writing a light novel about voice actors, as someone with a slight OCD, of course he would like to collect detailed information before writing. He still had some connections in the light novel industry. His social skills were probably reflected in his interactions with the author. He had no interest in making friends with people of the same age as him.
Of course, a genius author like Han Leng was an exception. They had a lot in common. They would talk about creation, literature, life, philosophy. The collision of ideas was always very pleasing.
Du Hang had used his connections in the light novel industry to go deeper into the industry. As a VA writer, it was impossible that he had never seen a dubbing scene or a VA meet-and-greet, right?
His most memorable experience was, of course, following a senior author who had been animated. He had tried to make an appointment with a group of popular idol VA. Their looks completely outweighed their dubbing skills. Coincidentally, they were dubbing for the senior author's work.
In the eyes of outsiders, the original author could easily make an appointment with a VA. He could even designate a VA or something. However, not all animations were like Rosemary's "The Strongest King", which did not require any animations to become popular. Web novels were indeed different from light novels
It could even be said that light novels with average sales were heavily reliant on animations. Without animations, it was possible that no one would even know about them. That was why the lesser known light novel authors had no say in animations, and could only obediently listen to Seiji.
Therefore, one could imagine how this senior author was tactfully rejected by those arrogant idol voice actors. Therefore, in his work "Girl Number", Du Hang directly let the heroine ridicule the light novel's original author like this — — —
"What kind of misunderstanding is a light novel author blindly misunderstanding? Didn't he just rely on his illustrations to sell a few books? How disgusting, look at his greasy face … "
He even exposed the birth of an idol VA. That dialogue —
"But, she's a complete newcomer!"
"Idols want freshness!"
"But she's not an idol, she's a VA …"
"She can organize events, and she's not bad looking. This is the kind of idol that this era needs!"
Du Hang had clearly written a heroine's novel. Many people thought that it would be one of those cutesy works, but they did not expect it to be written as a fancy satire of the industry, a satire of otakus who were especially easily fooled. Therefore, one could imagine that even though the quality of his first work was extremely high, the sales would be very poor.
After listening to Du Hang's words, Zhao Youyue could not help but sigh in her heart. This guy was really sharp. Whether it was Yu Shengfan, Altair, or Jane Doe Su, they were all her. She could only dub herself to achieve such a metaphysical effect …
At this time, she finally went straight to the point. She asked, "So, Great Teacher Du, do you know a light novel author with the pen name 'Love to Eat Yi Renmi'?"
