66: School starts

“Zi... Zifei what?” Yin Shuhua looked completely bewildered.

Ye Bai lightly coughed twice. “Nothing.”

“Brother, what do you think of the animated version of romance of the three kingdoms?” He changed the subject.

Yin Shuhua: “It's a great work. If possible, I really want to meet the Producer of that animation.”

He wouldn't admit that he had only watched a few episodes before dropping it.

That would be too awkward.

The two of them chatted casually like this, though neither gained anything substantial by the end of the conversation.

Ye Bai got a free hot pot meal, and when he returned, he looked at the original work of romance of the three kingdoms, which he had squeezed out of his brain over the past two days.

He let out a deep breath.

Now that he had the novel and the animation, the TV series should also be put on the agenda.

But this couldn't be rushed. If he wanted to film a classic TV series like romance of the three kingdoms well, he needed all the actors and the crew to be in place.

His current funding was definitely secured.

As for the actors... Ye Bai still needed to investigate the acting scene in this world, and he needed to observe them.

And actors with good skills certainly wouldn't be easy to hire.

This reminded him of the Public Service Competition that Qin Yushan had mentioned to him before.

If he could win the first prize, it would give him more credibility.

It wouldn't look like an animation and game Producer suddenly changing careers to become a director. Who the hell would believe that?

Even if he had money, would those actors dare to follow him into this venture?

Ye Bai notified Li Xingwen to find him a few actors. His requirements for these actors were not as high as those for the journey to the west voice actors.

School was about to start soon, so now was the perfect time to film the public service announcement.

After school started, he would then work on the game 'Jian'.

Ye Bai was very satisfied with his plans. He registered an author name, Yi Yezhibai, on the Central Continent Novel Platform.

He then uploaded romance of the three kingdoms.

He wouldn't use this account to publish web novels. Depending on the situation, he might later bring over all four great classical novels.

Then he would stop writing under this account.

This would allow the shadow of the four great classical novels to appear in this world once again, bringing it one step closer to his original world.

Ye Bai had everything perfectly arranged. He had finished organizing the information in his mind over the past few days and now felt completely relaxed.

He even took the time to audition voice actors for the female roles in journey to the west. All the voice acting arrangements were now settled.

Li Xingwen and the voice director Jiang Shui were urging them to quickly finish voicing all the lines for journey to the west.

After Harry entered the virtual space and watched the entire animated journey to the west, he finally understood what the story was about.

He finally realized that the character he was voicing was a lazy, gluttonous, greedy, and lustful Pig.

Recalling when Producer Ye said his voice matched Pigsy perfectly.

Harry could only cover his face with his hand.

But it wasn't bad; at least Producer Ye gave him very generous compensation.

Enough to cover his living expenses for the entire year.

While learning voice acting, he occasionally sought advice from others.

Every voice acting teacher here was far more professional than him. Sometimes Cheng Feibai would even proactively teach him how to deliver lines with more emotion.

They held nothing back.

Harry was naturally very grateful, but one day he couldn't help but ask, "Brother Cheng, you're teaching me so diligently that I feel embarrassed. Aren't you afraid I'll combine all your best skills if you teach me everything you know?"

Cheng Feibai laughed heartily when he heard this, patting Harry on the shoulder and laughing continuously. “Hahahaha.”

“Why would you think that?”

Harry felt increasingly nervous under his laughter. “I was just curious.”

Cheng Feibai: “You don't need to worry at all. With your current level, you still need a lot of practice, hahaha. Also, this animation is no worse than romance of the three kingdoms.”

“If we voice this well, our value will increase significantly, so we absolutely cannot have any flaws.”

Harry: ...So he was the flaw!

Actually, Cheng Feibai was quite shocked when he saw that Pigsy's voice actor was Harry.

But upon careful reflection, he felt that Harry's voice truly suited Pigsy.

The two of them had met once before and chatted for a while.

Now that they were voicing together, he felt that as a senior, he should give Harry some guidance.

This was also for the sake of making journey to the west better.

Speaking of which, Cheng Feibai had genuinely fallen in love with the character Monkey King.

The character Monkey King was truly charismatic; the courage to challenge authority and attack the Heavenly Court was incredibly rare and precious.

Plus, the abilities of the Seventy-two Earthly Transformations and Fiery Golden Eyes.

While voicing, Cheng Feibai felt as if he had become the famous Great Sage, Equal to Heaven.

The more he voiced, the more immersed he became.

Li Xingwen, who was supervising outside, was also quite satisfied. His current job was very leisurely every day.

At this moment, he was extremely pleased that he had followed his boss without hesitation back then.

He didn't have to clock in every day, he could sleep in as late as he wanted, and once he finished the tasks assigned by the boss, he could just relax.

Time is like the fatty beef in a hot pot.

If you're not careful, it gets overcooked, and when you fish it out, only scraps remain.

Zhongzhou University was about to start classes, and students were returning to campus one after another, pushing their suitcases.

Furthermore, some freshmen had entered the campus and were taking pictures everywhere with their phones.

Ye Bai felt that Zhongzhou University, which had been deserted just yesterday, suddenly felt crowded again.

He climbed out of the holographic pod, looking at the public service announcement he had just finished filming.

Since the focus was on visually impaired people, he simply filmed the commercial about the Pinwheel Grandpa.

Filming this commercial didn't require much technical skill. He met the actors directly inside the holographic pod.

He also personally built the set, and the filming was completed in just two days.

Ye Bai reopened the website for the Public Service Competition, clicked on the Public Service Announcement section, and submitted his work.

Below that, he wrote his director name and a description of the work.

Afterward, he immediately sent the finished voice track for journey to the west, which Jiang Shui had sent him, directly to Zheng Piao.

[Ye Bai: Please take a look at the animated journey to the west.]

[Zheng Piao: ???]

[Zheng Piao: That fast!]

Zheng Piao on the other end was completely stunned. The animated version of romance of the three kingdoms had only finished airing half a month ago, and Ye Bai had already submitted another work?

What speed!

She opened journey to the west to review it.

Two days later, she finally replied to Ye Bai, "I've finished watching it. Should we go with the revenue-sharing model again? Have you considered a launch date? How about we promote it for a month before launching?"

Ye Bai was in the classroom listening to a professor lecture. He lowered his head and glanced at his phone.

Just then, he heard the professor call his name. "Regarding last semester's assessment project, I believe everyone is aware of the results."

"First, we must commend student Ye Bai. The game 'Wangzhe' he created completely surpassed the expected level for a Game Production Department freshman, and so far, it has already secured a certain position in the gaming industry!"

"This is irreplaceable, and it is highly commendable!"

"In light of this, our Game Production Department has decided to award student Ye Bai a bonus of 100,000 yuan, hoping he continues his excellent work!"

"Alright, student Ye Bai, please come to my office later."
