If The Voice Has Memory Episode 7 Recap
> If The Voice Has Memory Recap
After signing her contract to officially join the dubbing class, Yu Luxi enthusiastically called Lin Nan "Master" multiple times. Lin Nan immediately stopped her, instructing her not to use that title in the company, even when they were alone. Yu Luxi then tried to ask him a series of questions, but Lin Nan, limiting her to three per day, playfully covered her mouth to stop her, a gesture that left him momentarily flustered.
Thoughtfully choosing her last question, she asked if he remembered an online friend from ten years ago named "Lucy Fish," explaining that it was her and he had taught her online dubbing and offered valuable advice, for which she was deeply grateful. Lin Nan, however, claimed he didn't remember any of it, even teasing her about the name. When she pressed him, he simply stated that remembering wasn't important, as he was teaching her now, effectively ending the conversation.
Yu Luxi felt a pang of disappointment at his lack of recollection. Lin Nan then led the dubbing class through formal training, starting with a scene from 'Hantan'. He was strict, criticizing students for their lack of emotion and unclear articulation. Dissatisfied, he took them to the beach for breath training. He stood a distance away, instructing each student to shout clearly and loudly, ignoring any onlookers. Liu Ziwei struggled first, prompting Lin Nan to demand more volume.
When it was Yu Luxi's turn, she called out to Lin Nan, asking how he had been all these years. Lin Nan responded by extending their training by another half hour, emphasizing that failure to sustain their voices for a minute meant falling short of the standard. Suddenly, a luxury car arrived, and Liang Yiyi stepped out. Her powerful, penetrating voice instantly captivated the students. Liu Ziwei, impressed, attempted to flirt.
Liang Yiyi politely introduced herself as a voice actress who had studied in Japan. The students excitedly recognized her as "Yiyi Da," a renowned voice actress who had won a Best Newcomer Award in Japan. Liang Yiyi explained that seeing their intense practice reminded her of her own training days and apologized for interrupting. She encouraged them to continue their hard work, expressing a desire for future collaboration. Inspired, the students resumed their practice with renewed determination.
Liang Yiyi later visited her brother, Liang Yichuan, surprising him with her early return. She immediately inquired about Lin Nan, expressing frustration at Liang Yichuan's repeated lies about Lin Nan being on business trips, especially since Lin Nan wasn't present at the 'Lu Yao' press conference. Liang Yichuan finally admitted that Lin Nan had "abandoned" him due to a past conflict.
He recounted how he had pushed Lin Nan, known as Mai Da, to voice the lead in an animated project called "Sahuan'er," even signing a contract on his behalf. Lin Nan, whose vocal cords had been damaged by throat cancer, had refused, preferring to work behind the scenes. He felt his current voice was "noisy" and "lacked texture," and that he couldn't expect the audience to accept it if he himself wasn't satisfied.
Lin Nan also expressed that their professional philosophies had diverged significantly. Liang Yichuan defended his actions, viewing Mai Da as an intellectual property they had jointly built. Liang Yiyi was furious to learn about Lin Nan's past illness, accusing her brother of withholding crucial information and contributing to Lin Nan's current distant demeanor. Liang Yichuan countered that he had been trying to help Lin Nan confront his issues. Later at Fengling, Liang Yiyi saw Yu Luxi and Lin Nan together.
She swiftly approached Lin Nan, linking her arm through his to assert her closeness. When Lin Nan asked how she found him after so many years, she fabricated a story about her brother sending her to apologize and seek reconciliation. She then showered Lin Nan with praise, calling him gentle and understanding, contrasting him with her "secular" and "mercenary" brother, and declared her unwavering support for Lin Nan.
Lin Nan downplayed the conflict with Liang Yichuan, attributing it to differing philosophies. Liang Yiyi wistfully recalled how he used to be like a brother to her. Lin Nan agreed, but she subtly indicated she no longer saw him that way. He, however, maintained his stance, reiterating that she would always be his good sister.
Liang Yiyi then proposed joining the production of 'Lu Yao' to Lin Nan, stating her Japanese contract had ended and she planned to advance her career in China. She highlighted the commercial value and training benefits she could bring, offering to share Japanese training methods with the team. Lin Nan, impressed by her maturity and talent, welcomed her, and at her request, agreed to hold an audition to convince the rest of the team.
During the subsequent audition, Lin Nan meticulously evaluated each voice actor's performance. He highly praised Liang Yiyi, citing her excellent character understanding. In contrast, he pointed out numerous flaws in the other students: Yu Luxi had unstable breath and a mistake, Zhao Junran made multiple errors and had a line out of sync, Liu Ziwei mumbled, Zhou Shuang's roar was unclear, and Yang Lingling lacked proper breath control. He concluded that none of them could match Liang Yiyi's skill.
Consequently, Liang Yiyi was officially cast as Younger Sister Hantan. This led to Yang Lingling's role being changed to Cheng Qian's mother, and Yu Luxi was left without a role, placed on standby. Feeling dejected, Yu Luxi approached Lin Nan in his office, using her daily question slot to ask about Liang Yiyi's exceptional talent. Lin Nan explained that the Japanese voice acting industry was tough, and Yiyi had dedicated six years to studying and practicing dubbing there.
He emphasized her innate talent, combined with systematic training, made her naturally superior to most students. When Yu Luxi then asked whether talent or hard work was more important, Lin Nan challenged her to consider the question herself before providing an answer. Lin Nan, driving that evening, recalled his past struggles as Mai Da. After his throat cancer diagnosis, his voice deteriorated, drawing criticism from fans who felt it had lost its quality.
This prompted him to shift to a directing role behind the scenes. He deeply empathized with Yu Luxi's current disappointment, having faced similar setbacks in his own career. Yu Luxi, disheartened, expressed to Lin Nan her thoughts of giving up, believing her passion was insufficient against raw talent. Lin Nan tried to reassure her. Later, Liang Yiyi arranged dinner for Lin Nan and Liang Yichuan, hoping to reconcile them. Liang Yichuan was annoyed, realizing Yiyi's plan, and attempted to leave.
Liang Yiyi insisted he stay, urging them to talk civilly. While Liang Yichuan reluctantly agreed not to scold Lin Nan, he adamantly refused to apologize, stating their issues were too complex for her to understand. Liang Yiyi continued to press him, hinting that their reconciliation was crucial for her own unspoken reasons. Liang Yichuan, recognizing her true motive, directly asked if she liked Lin Nan. Upon seeing her hesitation, he firmly declared that he would never allow Lin Nan to be her boyfriend.
