Chapter 118

unedited

Went off with a bang

completely didnt expect that he would get a tic for his tac from this person. A vein on his temples probably bulged as his voice growled, You little Fine! I will show you what a man looks like!

Hearing this,

Crossing the bridge noodles

seemingly chuckled lightly. Such a pity that the compet.i.tion doesnt allow turning on the cameras, otherwise I would really be able to have a look.

A part of the audience didnt understand, while the other one got it.

Qi Jing belonged to the part that only got it after a couple of seconds. Once he understood the double meaning of

Crossing the bridge noodles

words, he couldnt stop himself from bursting out in laughter while smacking the deskand for the reasons he couldnt possibly tell Shen Yan why, what an agony.

Audience 1: o(*) Pfahahaha! Have a look at whats a man Contestant Went off with a bang truly is a charitable guy!

Audience 2: o(*) My goodness, Little Noodles is actually capable of saying something that would make people blush this hard!

Audience 3: o(*) I actually got it, but I swear Im pure of heart!! (serious face)

Audience 4: A

man

Pfft. I honestly believe that contestant

Went off with a bang

is very manly, cough cough

Audience 5: A good kid like me really has no idea what the people above are talking about!!

Audience 6: A good kid like me really has no idea what the people above are talking about!! (**)

Even Yuan Zhengming in the background sputtered with a short pfft, presumably also enjoying the bustling atmosphere of the scene during the wait.

Went off with a bang

was stumped for a good while before he finally realised that his taunt just now got twisted by

Crossing the bridge noodles

into a completely different direction. He probably found it too much of a disgrace, especially since it stepped into the one territory about men he didnt want to step into the most, so he couldnt squeeze out any response for a good moment as only his heavy breathing could be heard.

At that time,

Crossing the bridge noodles

said with much ease, Lets begin.

Yang Chunqu was probably still laughing, as her voice was a little bit shaky, the upbeat tone of her voice quite easy to hear, If contestant Went off with a bang agrees, then group No.20 can officially begin. Is that okay?

Went off with a bang

hummed nasally with a humpf, so it could be counted as consent.

Went off with a bang

s voice was indeed that of a

real man

, and his bearing also that of a

real man

, so judging by the power and steadiness in his voice,

How long away is forever

was still appearing bleak in comparison. As someone who had previously auditioned for Old Man Xiaoshan with great achievements, it wasnt difficult for him to play an old grandpa, not to mention a fifty-to-sixty elder man. Even without the surprising contrast

How long away is forever

s performance had, his first line was still just as capable of catching everyones attention.

Fang, Yi, Sheng. First three words, each enunciated strongly.

The way he handled it was a bit different from

How long away is forever

, with not only shock and fear hidden in the dark undercurrents behind this force, but also hate. This way, the feeling it gave was as if he gnashed his teeth while speaking.

You actually didnt die?

Yan Bulius information network wasnt all that simple, so when Fang Yisheng didnt end up dying that year, he actually left some traces behind. But when the man himself appeared before his very eyes, living and breathing, the impact was still too big, uncovering layers upon layers of the hate he felt towards this man.

If he couldnt use him for his own cause, then killing him was the only option.

And as he failed to even kill him, of course he would start to hate, start to resent, so furious that he began laughing instead

Haha To have tricked the Heavens and us all, coming back to life once dead. Lord Fang truly isnt but a normal man!

The short, cold laugh before the line was like a crucial final touch of a painting as the chilling acclamation at the end resounded clearly, making his stance overbearing and immediately elevating the rivalrous atmosphere between them to a climax.

Truly worthy of first place in semi-finals.

Qi Jing intended to mock this

Uncle Bang

s shortcomings, but he realised that after going through so many auditions in the compet.i.tion, his abilities began to s.h.i.+ne through even more with his current voice acting skills and newfound understanding of the character. This, coupled with him being gifted with good voice qualities and having the right skills to act, made Qi Jing actually nod in silence despite himself after hearing those few lines.

Audience 1: (**)Aaoooo!! This fellow Went off with a bang isnt bad!! Such a fine man!! Cough, I really only mean it in a literal sense

Audience 2: I havent listened to the semi-finals, I heard he got first place? Now that I hear him he sounds so hot! Go on, go on! Looking forward to this performance!

Audience 3: After all he was a runner-up in the previous compet.i.tion, so he cant be bad. I had a good feeling about him during the semi-finals, yes I dont know if Crossing the bridge noodles can play into such a strong opening (thinking real hard)

That was the reaction from the usual listeners, but the Rice Noodles Fans reaction was so much more distressed.

Audience 4: Ah Scary scary scary, Im hiding back our Little Noodles!

Audience 5: Girls, lets all wish Little Noodles good luck!I heard that this Big Uncle Bang is really fierce

Audience 5: I listened to Little Noodles semi-finals, and I honestly feel like his youth voice can do it! Im just afraid that he wont be able to keep his demeanour up to this guys.

And at that time, a short snicker could be heard, the disdain within palpable.

Hah.

A laugh of someone who has just heard a ba.n.a.l joke.

Laughing not because of its content being funny, but because the person who said this joke himself was just a clown.

Crossing the bridge noodles

has always only received the pure and virtuous roles, either utmostly polite or utmostly soft, all of them the prime example of easy to bully characters that even if they smiled, the smile would be faint and gentle. And this voice of a man looking down with a sneer on the other person, as if thinking him a clown, completely toppled his previous bashful image in the eyes of his fans.

Everyone held their breath as they continued listening.

I have said before, the court up on high, the Jianghu farawaythose two never cross together. The moment he spoke, he immediately gave a feeling of a young man. It seemed like he made a note of the feedback at the end of semi-finals and worked on his too low of an age impression, leaving no trace of that inexperienced youth to be found, The one to die was the Lord Fang you just called, but the only one standing today before you is Fang Yisheng.

Then, his tone suddenly turned chilly.

That year, Lord Yan had Lord Fang dead, but right here, right now, you, Yan Buliu, will not have this,

FangYiSheng

, die!

Just like

Went off with a bang

, he enunciated each syllable of this name with force, his voice getting more fierce with each word, especially ending as he ended with that die.

Who knows if he managed to surprise

Went off with a bang

, but he certainly did surprise the entire audience, shaking everyone to the core.

Wow Qi Jing couldnt help the itch arising in his heart, really wis.h.i.+ng that he could go up and take part in this scene. Every time he heard other contestants doing amazing with their part in a joint performance, he would always feel an urge to also get there and voice act a couple of lines.

For it to have such an effect on him, it was enough of a proof that this group had nailed the dynamic of the scene.

For Qi Jing it was the first time to hear

Crossing the bridge noodles

perform like this too, so not only he found it novel, but was also pleasantly surprised. This guys voice was so gentle, so it really was an interesting feeling to hear him voice act a scene of a showdown between well-matched opponents.

Its feeling was different to his own interpretation of the scene.

If he could be likened to an unsheathed sword, cutting steel like mud, the blade clean and sharp, then

Crossing the bridge noodles

was more like an icebergcold and cheerless, yet not at all fragile. He was firm, resolute, and even the fiercest of the opponents wouldnt make him budge a step. It was this haughty Fang Yisheng that was most suited to

Went off with a bang

s overbearing Yan Buliuif it was

How long away is forever

s interpretation of Yan Buliu, the effect wouldnt end up half as good.

Just as Pu Yuzhi had said, it was the synergy that was the most precious in finals.

Audience 1: Awooooo! Little Noodles so hot!!

Audience 2: Wow I didnt expect

Crossing the bridge noodles

to have such powerful moments, its so good! Im really taking a liking to him!

Audience 3: I have always liked the silly and soft Little Noodles, but now Im loving this Noodles too! Thats right, Im a hardcore fan of Little Noodles, no matter what style he goes for Im digging it all ()

Audience 4: (((p()q))) Seconding the comment above!

Audience 5: (((p()q))) Seconding the comment above! +1

Audience 6: Fine, I think Im the only one to think this: should I reach out to Noodles-sama after the compet.i.tion to play this type of role?Im already sick of hearing feeble shous no offence

After getting such a strong strike back,

Went off with a bang

seemed to be caught by a surprise, but fortunately this moment was a juncture of the characters feeling changing, so it managed to cover it.

But with their exchange coming to this point, it wouldnt work for him to smile gloomily like

How long away is forever

did, so he only kept adding to the rage of being tested to his limits. Without even a trace of a smile, the killing intent in his voice grew heavier to a terrifying degree, Seems like today is the day when either you die, or I peris.h.!.+

And the way

Crossing the bridge noodles

cut off his words was similar to Qi Jings, Notoday, it is only you who will perish.

At this point,

Went off with a bang

was finally completely immersed in the scene, forgetting all about his adversary being

Crossing the bridge noodles

, only hollering loudly, Nonsense!

This point of the scene was a rapid exchange, the lines coming close one after another, so if both of the contestants were in their form, it would sound especially dynamic. But during this critical moment, no one expected Yuan Zhengming to shout unfeelingly, CUT

Eh

It was as if he tripped and fell hard to the ground after getting ready to jump high to the sky, leaving him feeling especially frustrated.

Teacher, Yuan, are, you, for, real

?

Considering how there was not as much time allotted for the auditions in the finals compared to semi-finals, only one minute each, Yuan Zhengming lowered his criteria for cutting the performance by quite a lot to make it fairhe would rarely shout CUT before hearing the latter part of the scene. This time was definitely one of his latest cuts, right before the end.

Teacher Yuan?

Went off with a bang

probably also felt this pain of getting cut short, so he asked frustratedly.

About that, Yuan Zhengming smiled lazily, Your current situation was too intense, it started to derive from the feeling of surging undercurrents from the original work. Fang Yisheng, you are not supposed to be such a brash person.

Crossing the bridge noodles

agreed with a soft hum, seemingly having already realised what was the problem.

But

Went off with a bang

couldnt hold himself from thras.h.i.+ng around from anger, I knew it! I just knew that a brat like you would get in my wayits your fault!

Without waiting for

Crossing the bridge noodles

to speak, Yuan Zhengming retorted with an impish smile, Aiya, aiya, you had your part in it too, Yan Buliu. After getting agitated by him, towards the end, you didnt realise that it began to turn into a shouting contest, spinning out of your control.

But neither Noodles fans nor Bangs fans would care about the actual facts, only raising a noisy hubbub.

Audience 1: /(o)/ I dont understand what Gorrilla Teacher is talking about! What are you doing bullying our Little Noodles!

Audience 2: /(o)/ I dont understand +1086! It sounded great when I listened to it just now, why did you have to cut it! (rolling all over the floor)

Audience 3: () Why is it always that Bang Bang gets duped by the judges! Do you actually have any understanding of the aesthetics of voice acting?! Its clear as day that Bang Bang got led astray while acting, hes innocent!

Im sorry.

Crossing the bridge noodles

spoke suddenly, catching everyone, along with Qi Jing, by surprise, Its my fault. Its because I got offended, so I got too into displaying my own strength and forgot to hold back and ended up going too far, wanting only to outdo him.

That getting offended was of course pointing to the dont get too attached and the little girl comments from the other one.

I didnt expect him to be so compet.i.tive

Qi Jing thought.

Haha, aside from the fact that you needed to stay consistent with the character settings, your groups performance was very riveting. Yuan Zhengming smiled cheekily, also not forgetting to praise

Went off with a bang

, If your opponent didnt go strong, you also wouldnt go that far.

Went off with a bang

was still upset, only grunting back at him angrily.

The audience could also only bite their handkerchiefs while grumbling angrily along.

Qi Jing had more or less noticed the problem even before Yuan Zhengmings explanation, and the explanation itself was also fair and square, leaving no place to retort, so he could only sigh with regret while giving them his votes to show his support. Although they did get cut, it still didnt hold them from getting scores that went far beyond the average.

Group Score: 4.0, 3.5, average score 3.75

It was also a difference of only half a point, but

Crossing the bridge noodles

would probably find it a pity At least Rice Noodles Fans certainly did, since he didnt manage to outdo

Went off with a bang

with his individual score.

Still, having experienced this battle,

Went off with a bang

would probably never dare to call him girly little shou again.

So that was not that bad either.

I hope that Noodles himself doesnt mind it too much Just as Qi Jing muttered to himself, he suddenly heard

Crossing the bridge noodles

replying to him in his headphones.

I dont mind it.

Qi Jing heard himself reply Is that so instinctivel, before he realised that something was wrong.

Weird, the contestants should get off the mic before the scores were out, so why was he still able to hear

Crossing the bridge noodles

talking in the voice channel? And even more weird was, why was this guy able to hear him talk to himself?

And thats because now, in the next stage, theres me, As if knowing what he was thinking,

Crossing the bridge noodles

replied lightly. After a short pause, he added the remaining two words, and you.

Only now Qi Jing suddenly remembered that the group just now was numbered 20th, and among his audition groups, there was a group No.21.

Noodles had two consequent groups?

Hah, He was so into listening to the compet.i.tion that it only occurred to him now. Qi Jing couldnt help but laugh, Turns out we got put togetherdo you still remember how we were even saying in the semifinals that we never got to work together. Of course, that one time for the opening doesnt count.

Of course I remember.

Crossing the bridge noodles

chuckled lightly, Now is a good opportunity.

The Time Limit s.h.i.+ppers in the audience couldnt get more excited.

Especially since this audition was for the very very much a cla.s.sic for the Time Limit, Fang Yisheng and Lu Wei.

One was

Dont ask for my return date

s n.o.ble voice, the other one was

Crossing the bridge noodles

youth voice. There were no surprises with the voice types for them, but who knows if there wouldnt be any surprises when theyre thrown together? Even that alone was enough for the discussion thread in the related topic on the forum to grow in pages.

Audience 1 : o(*////////*)o Aaaah! Its the Time Limit duo! (scratching the table from excitement)

Audience 2 : o(*////////*)o Aaaah my goodness, I would never expect that I would be able to see the Time Limits CP here! What nonsense, the two of them clearly have a pure master and servant relations.h.i.+p

Audience 3: (**) Cough cough What to do, I love the master x servant s.h.i.+ps the most

Audience 4: (**) Cough cough, I quite like master x servant too. Time Limit s.h.i.+p doesnt need to toss us crumbs so carelessly!! dont listen to me

Audience 5: YO!!!! Aside of this sound, I really dont know how to express the feelings in my bubbly girl heart!

Audience 6: YO!!!! Same girl heartAlso, commenter above, didnt you already express that? And you werent stingy with words too, pfft

The spirit of Fang Yisheng still hasnt left

Crossing the bridge noodles

with him having just left such an intense scene, yet he already had to become Lu Wei, making it quite a challenge.

Qi Jing teased him deliberately, You need to tone your demeanour down, otherwise I dont think I will hold up against it.

Crossing the bridge noodles

replied with much generosity, I have already said before, I can be a bit of a little girl for someone whose voice I like.

He both replied to Qi Jings question and once again made

Went off with a bang

stamp his feet from angerit was easy to imagine this picture being quite amusing.

The Time Limit s.h.i.+ppers in the audience also couldnt be more excited.

Yuan Zhengmings voice could be heard faintly from the background, Im saying Arent you two afraid that your boyfriends will get jealous?

He wont.

He wouldnt dare.

They spoke at the same time, and then laughed at the same time. The present Time Limit s.h.i.+ppers already didnt know how to describe their feelings.

Yuan Zhengmings mumbled Young people these days got cut covered by Yang Chunqus timely cough, Then, I will ask our two contestants to prepare yourself for the start.

A/N:

Time Limit s.h.i.+ppers winning no theyre not

T/N:

Lucilla: Digging it regardless, all hail to the multis.h.i.+pping! (

gets dragged away
