Tokyo Sound

"Because of the complete failure of FF14, the project has become notorious in the industry. The developers in the team don't even have the courage to change jobs, and they can't even write resumes. We don't know what the future holds, but now it's such a dark and desperate situation. I know this is embarrassing, but I personally have an unreasonable request." Yoshida Tomoki supported his hands on his knees and bowed on the sofa, "——After graduation, can you please join us?"

"Thank you very much for your invitation, but I have already joined the company." Yin Ze was stunned.

"Uh, no, aren't you a college student? Which company is it? Konami, Capcom, SEGA, Bandai Namco, or Nintendo?" Tomoki Yoshida asked.

"I'm Enterprise Voice Actor Agency, I'm an active voice actor."

No one responded.

The producer's movements seemed frozen.

"Brother Yoshida?"

"It's nothing, it's just that the sudden jump in domain was a bit too big, so I couldn't accept it for a while... But, as for the voice actors. It just so happens that games now also need voice actors [Note: By the way, the first Japanese game to add character voices was the international version of Final Fantasy 7], so we can continue to cooperate." said Tomoki Yoshida.

"I'm just a newcomer who has been in the industry for less than two years. It may not be appropriate to entrust the sequel of such a world-class IP to me," Yin Ze added.

"Like I said before, FF14 is already a minefield, and few people would actively want to be associated with it. The dubbing must be the same." Yoshida Tomoki smiled bitterly.

"Is that so? Then who can I lend my voice to?"

“Although it was a spur of the moment decision, I think it’s very appropriate.”

In the land of my heart, there is always a young man standing with his sword, looking into the distance, with his back to me, bathed in the light. Whenever I really try to imagine his face, it is always blurry, just like looking at a figure surrounded by strong light, unable to see clearly.

Yoshida Tomoki rubbed his palms, and his words were filled with childlike beauty.

"The hero standing in the light of the boy's memory - the Warrior of Light [Note: The CV of the Warrior of Light in real life is Guan Junyan]."

Chapter 139: Shimazaki Nobunaga's Ambition

Warehouse Street, with its harbor facilities, separates the new capital from the eastern industrial zone. At night, it is deserted. The dim streetlights illuminate the streets, revealing a cold and empty scene. Unmanned cranes are neatly arranged on the seashore, looking like huge lifeless sculptures, or like ritual statues surrounding an ancient sword fighting arena.

The blond Knight King [Note: referring to Altria] walked upright on the wide road. The enemy also stood boldly in the middle of the road. He was a man with long hair tied behind his head, holding two guns, and very regular features.

They were two guns of different lengths, and from the handle to the blade, they were wrapped in a cloth similar to a talisman. This must have been a countermeasure to hide the true name of the treasure.

"I'm finally here. I've been walking around this city all day, but no one dared to come. You're the only one who accepted my invitation. Wow, this clear fighting spirit, it seems you are Saber. Right?" The storyboard on the display was still a draft, and Yin Ze was used to it. He skillfully aligned the timeline, symbolically holding the script, and reading in a low but clear voice.

"That's right, and you must be Lancer." The senior voice actor standing at the microphone position next to him answered.

"It's such a disappointing restraint that I can't even exchange names with my opponent who I'm about to fight to the death." Yin Ze snorted.

"Charming magic?" The senior questioned and criticized, "Is this a petty trick you rely on?"

"I'm sorry, it's like a curse I was born with. I really can't do anything about it. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame my birth or myself for being a woman." Yin Ze chuckled.

In order to allow the voice actors to deepen their understanding of this plot, the script even included a description from the author of the novel.

"The high nose bridge, the stern eyebrows and the chiseled facial contours. The delicate smiling lips make people feel sexy and abstinent. The gentle and melancholy eyes make people feel his charm as a man. The teardrop mole under the left eye makes his eyes look extremely charming. This should be the devil's appearance."

No. 1 extra, Shimazaki Nobunaga, who was sitting in his seat on the set watching the main actors perform, glanced at the actor with the "glorious appearance" and couldn't help but curl his lips in resentment.

For a work of Fate/Zero's caliber, the competition is fierce.

In the brutal audition, Shimazaki Nobunaga finally got his wish and became a heroic spirit. Although his role was limited to modal particles, it was enough to make him prouder than the 800,000 moon people.

However! However!

A guy with the same qualifications as him actually became a Lancer, one of the top three knights! He is an important part of the work! He can shout out the real name of the Noble Phantasm! He can even play against the Knight King directly!

hateful! hateful!

...Think positively, this is definitely not a difference in acting skills, it's just that someone's appearance is a little more suitable for the role. Basically, for an incompetent guy like this who can only rely on his beautiful body, his career ceiling is obvious at a glance, so there is no need to worry about it.

The performance continues.

"This man is quite capable." The Knight King whispered solemnly.

"Your armor is made of magic, but in front of my gun, you are just like naked." The man shook his hair and narrated magnetically, "You made a mistake. If you didn't take off your armor, you could defend against my Gae Buidhe (the Yellow Rose that must be destroyed). Next time, I will definitely take your head!"

……

The entire episode was a fight between the Knight King and the tear-mole handsome guy. Including the time for adjustment and repeated recording, the two main voice actors worked continuously for about 50 minutes. Although they felt very happy to give their best, they still felt a little tired physically.

"Thank you for your hard work. The results are great. We've finished this episode. I'll count on you all for the next one." The sound supervisor, Miwa Iwaro, is an approachable and friendly uncle who is easy to get along with. After confirming the sound materials again and again, he announced that he was leaving get off work.

Yin Ze closed the decorative script, and after hesitating for a few times, he shyly took the initiative to greet the senior who was acting opposite him this time, "Kawasumi-san, thank you for your cooperation. I am inexperienced and I am sorry to have caused you trouble."

"Oh, not at all." Ayako Kawasumi is a very quiet person. Compared to her colleague Yoko-san who is only reliable in specific occasions, this gentle and generous lady in front of her deserves the praise of "ideal workplace senior".

"Really? If I have made any mistakes, please point them out to me sternly." Yin Ze said in a low voice with embarrassment.

"No, I really think you have great qualifications. Not to mention your voice quality, as a newcomer who has debuted for less than two years, you have a very calm mentality on the set, can respond well to the director's instructions, and think deeply about the script. You must have worked hard." Kawasumi Ayako encouraged with a smile, "Keep up this momentum, you will definitely shine in the future. The future belongs to you young people."

"No, no, I still have a long way to go to become an excellent voice actor like Kawasumi-san." Yin Ze suppressed the nervousness in his heart, as shy as a young girl in love, "In fact, I have been very nervous to cooperate with my senior in the Fate series... Although it is a bit embarrassing, I have been a fan of Altria for 20 years. Whether it is the original game or the extended animation and game, I have played and enjoyed them all. This time, I am honored to be able to personally participate in the work I admire!"

"So your respect for me is just out of love for my family?" Kawasumi Ayako frowned and tried to make things difficult for me.

"Of course not!" Yin Ze straightened his chest, "Senior has many other roles that I like. For example, Yoshida Kazumi in Shakugan no Shana, Princess An Li in Zero Apostle, and Tenshu Athena in Hayate the Combat Butler... They are all beautiful memories!"

"It's really hard for you. You're just a loser who was defeated by Rie-chan from your agency in the end." Ayako Kawasumi nodded seriously.

"…The characters and voice actors cannot be confused." Yin Ze waved his hands awkwardly, "Besides, we are all comrades who contribute to the animation industry, and we are all partners!"

"By the way, you have a good relationship with our Ozawa's junior Hidaka Rina-chan, right?" Kawasumi Ayako suddenly asked.

"An acquaintance is nothing. Compared to this...I wonder if I can ask for an autograph from you, senior?" Yin Ze shyly took out the marker pen he had prepared earlier and a piece of classic Knight King colored paper he bought online at a high price.

"Of course, I'm happy for her to be loved so much by the younger generation." Kawasumi Ayako smiled, took the colored paper, and quickly signed her name.

“Even though I’m busy all day long pursuing wealth, when I have free time, I always think of the beautiful girl who slept under the tree. I will continue to support her with all my strength!” Yin Ze was so happy that he looked as excited as a crazy fan who had grabbed the limited front-row tickets to his idol’s concert.

For a while, the seniors and juniors had a great conversation.

"Kawasumi-san, please don't be fooled by this two-faced villain." Shimazaki Nobunaga appeared silently like a ghost and said faintly, "In the first and second episodes, he also said to Ueda Kana-senpai and Shimoya Noriko-senpai, 'I like Rin/Sakura [Note: Rin Tousaka and Sakura Matou] who are independent, tsundere, cute, strong and lovable the most', and then asked for their autographs in the same way. This guy keeps talking about Emiya-kun [Note: Shirou Emiya]'s justice and dedication, but in fact he is no different from the sinister Shinji [Note: Shinji Matou]-kun. I hope the seniors will understand."

“Hmph, this is an exchange between the top three riders. You’d better retreat quickly and stop making people laugh at you, you’re a cannon fodder hero who can only conceal your aura and then launch a sneak attack at the right time to speak ill of others.” Yin Ze waved his sleeves in disdain.

"Heh, your only highlight has passed today. I'm really looking forward to the moment when you stab yourself with both hands and your appearance collapses in the future." Shimazaki Nobunaga sneered emotionlessly.

"That's the ambition. When a soldier dies, the first things the flies discover are his flaws and scars, and they suck on them, chirping and feeling proud of themselves." Yin Ze quoted from a classic.

"Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, don't bully a supporting actor without a master. I won't bother with you..." Shimazaki Nobunaga turned his head, and his cold face suddenly became warm and gentle, "Kawasumi-san, I'm actually a fan of Xiaoya for thirty years. I've played the original game thirty times, and I want an autograph too."

Ayako Kawasumi was so amused by the two high-purity moon people that she kept covering her mouth and laughing. In the end, after signing autographs and taking photos, the conversation finally came to an end.

Having gained a lot from each other, Yin Ze and Shimazaki Nobunaga returned to their good brotherly state, talking and laughing, and walked arm in arm to a nearby ramen restaurant to satisfy their hunger.

"One serving of classic soy sauce ramen."

"I'll have the miso ramen, thank you."

The two found a place to sit down, and even though they were clearly here to have a meal together and chat about life with close friends right next to them, they both took out their cell phones and started surfing the Internet.

"By the way, the seniors are all very nice people." Shimazaki Nobunaga took out the autograph again, and expressed his feelings as if it were a treasure.

"Most of them are indeed very gentle and patient." Yin Ze nodded, "But after all, some have different personalities. After all, we are all ordinary people. It's not surprising to be scolded when we are in a bad mood occasionally."

There are many long-established voice actors on the set of Fate/Zero, and there are quite a lot of veteran voice actors. For example, the actor of Gunge's Master, Mr. Yamazaki Takumi, although not well-known, has rich experience in the industry and has even served as a sound supervisor. Such voice actors are one of the important cornerstones of the industry. Others who can chat with each other include brother Tsuruoka Satoshi, who has a wide range of business. In addition to dubbing, he is also a stage actor and has filmed special effects. On the surface, he is an ordinary person, but in fact he is a Sentai Ranger. Since dubbing a certain saint, he has also become interested in French history, especially Jeanne d'Arc. After knowing that he is a liberal arts student at the University of Tokyo and is particularly good at history, he often consults the background knowledge of the twisted fan.

Generally speaking, they are very easy to get along with, but there are also some who are very eccentric. For example, a certain voice actor senior from Saiko Kei-an [Note: referring to Fate/Zero Gilgamesh's CV Seki Tomokazu], his method of eliminating female newcomers is to tell dirty jokes... As for how effective it is, it depends on personal opinion.

"Alas, my account still has a few hundred followers. How about yours?" Shimazaki Nobunaga frowned.

"I don't know, it seems to be 11." Yin Ze said casually.

"Why?!" Shimazaki Nobunaga widened his eyes and said unwillingly, "Isn't it just a random blog post and reposted pictures? I also share the essays and short poems I write in my spare time from time to time! How come it can't even break a thousand?"

"Your level is too high. Vulgar people cannot appreciate the beautiful words like snow lotus." Yin Ze comforted.

"No, there are both elegant and vulgar things. I also repost photos of beautiful girls." Shimazaki Nobunaga said aggrievedly.

"Where do you usually collect materials from?" Yin Ze asked curiously.

"I usually just forward your pictures. Because it saves trouble." Shimazaki Nobunaga said frankly.

"...There's no way others would pay attention to you. Of course they would choose to pay attention to me who has first-hand information." Yin Ze was speechless.

"It turns out that all my efforts so far have been to help you attract traffic." Shimazaki Nobunaga sighed, "We are just brothers, and I don't ask for anything else. So can you give me a few thousand yen so that I can have a duck leg rice tonight? I don't mean anything else. I just see that you have a lot of fans on your account, your career is developing well, and you often play around with female colleagues in your circle of friends, so I said this. I hope I didn't ruin your mood, brother."

"Sir, aren't you creating literature? If you are tainted by too much of this mundane world, you might not be able to write about the heavenly and human world. That would be a great sin for me, so I'm sorry I can't treat you." Yin Ze remained calm and rejected the request for money in a few words.

"Speaking of which, my prologue has been uploaded to the website. Although it's not very popular yet, it will definitely become a hit once the plot enters the ups and downs of the middle period." Shimazaki Nobunaga said complacently, "I guess you have read it too?"

"No!" Yin Ze answered immediately, with a satisfied and happy smile on his face.

How many times have people asked me if I have seen anything, and I always lied against principles and morals, and even that was not enough, I had to cover up the lie.

But today, I can finally say it out loud!

"It doesn't matter if you haven't seen it. It's the same if you watch it now." Shimazaki Nobunaga was not angry.

"The internet in this store isn't very good." Yin Ze made an excuse.

"Use my phone."

"The physical distance between us is not too far, so the network is probably affected in the same way. Even if we can read, the refresh is intermittent, and the reading experience is not good."

"It's okay. There are local files in my phone, the battery is sufficient, and the screen is not worn. Maybe you still need some music assistance? I have five-digit quality headphones here." Shimazaki Nobunaga smiled, revealing his white teeth.

"I see. That's great. In fact, I'm also looking forward to Kouzhi's masterpiece." Yin Ze pinched his nose and accepted his fate. He took the phone and started reading.

Book Title: The Legend of Hades in the Magical World

Introduction: One hundred thousand years ago, the gods collapsed and the world was submerged in the endless light of the end. In times of crisis, the sage activated the god-level summoning magic and summoned the brave who could save the world from other worlds...

Keywords: epic, fantasy, harem, time travel, science fiction, superpowers, starry sky.

"Why is there a science fiction element? Isn't this a high magic setting?" Yin Ze was puzzled.

"That's too monotonous. In fact, the villains are actually the evil invading army in the universe. They are driven by an emotionless holy god, and their goal is to turn all planets into blank sheets of paper." Shimazaki Nobunaga chuckled. "Of course, in the later stage, they will jump out of the single world and enter the magnificent interstellar stage. The forbidden spell of world destruction and the star-blasting cannons are blasting against each other. It's exciting to think about it. Isn't it very original?"

Yin Ze did not make any comments for the time being, but read the text carefully and was soon completely attracted to it.

"The various postures and rugged undulating bodies of the Yecang Holy Dragon are like a mighty god. From a bird's eye view, in the southeast direction, there is a silver-orange, transparent fairyland that looks like a pancake. Looking up, the scenery there looks like dancing steel pipes. In the back, there is a bright gray-blue coconut forest that looks like a piece of ice. Looking into the distance, the scenery there looks like a misty squirrel."

"He has a sturdy figure and fashionable bright purple skin, with strange dark gray mailbox-like flowing hair on his head, a flat light blue hat, dark white smoked goose-like gold scale armor with feathers on it, water blue bread-like plastic tube mist shorts on the bottom, and beautiful bright gray bamboo basket streamer boots on his feet. The whole image looks extremely rare."

"At this time, the Apostle of Time let out a final roar and used his unique skill, 'Holy Light Explosion'. A gust of blue light suddenly burst out from his legs and rushed straight towards Ye Cang Shenglong..."

"This monster has an orange-like chest that gleams with cold light, and a butt that looks like a sweet potato. It has strong thighs like a lion and claws that look like rackets. Its five tails are as fierce as a peacock's tail and are extremely strange, with a kind of barbaric dominance. When it breathes, there is a smell of sulfur. The horns on its head are very rare."

"How is it? The gorgeousness of your words is not inferior to Kawabata Yasunari, right?" Shimazaki Nobunaga blew on the hot ramen and asked leisurely.

"This aesthetic is beyond the level of life. At least carbon-based creatures can hardly expect to understand it." Yin Ze rubbed his eyes and said deeply.

"This is just the prelude to my rebellion. Writing novels is just a personal hobby, voice acting is my main job. Just wait, I will succeed on the next stage, I will not lag behind you and Matsuoka, I will also become the main character." Shimazaki Nobunaga was full of fighting spirit.

"Oh? Which work is recruiting again? Tell me about it." Yin Ze threw a peanut into his mouth.

"Don't you know? Rumor has it that it's even a bigger production than your "Dark Reincarnation Fantasy"."

"Sorry, I finished one episode and can't feel more."

"I know, that's why I mentioned it."

"?"

“I don’t know if it will be changed when it’s officially broadcast, but the name seems to be ‘Sword Art Online’ [Note: referring to the famous animation series ‘Sword Art Online’].” Shimazaki Nobunaga took a big bite of noodles.

Chapter 140 This is in my pocket

Today, Kashiwa Ippei came to the office as usual to handle some chores. As usual, you can see many new voice actors walking around with high spirits and full of fighting spirit. When they see their seniors, they will greet them enthusiastically. If there is any errand, they will do their best.

Although society as a whole has entered an aging stage, it does not mean that young people are lazy. On the contrary, the flame of struggle is sweeping the entire era.

After all, except for a few lazy people, most people still desire success in their hearts. Who hasn't had that brilliant and glorious dream?

Kashiwa Ippei will be 30 in a few years. As he gets older, he likes to ask himself questions. Have he become a useful person to society? Can he make his parents proud? Can he make his ex-girlfriend regret it?

Alas, where has the time gone? Before I could enjoy myself, I was already suffering from hair loss, high blood sugar and high cholesterol.

The agent looked at the newcomers with deep envy. Ah, his ship was not the only one struggling against the might of heaven and earth in the stormy black sea. He was also inspired by their unyielding figures and gained the motivation to move forward.

Kashiwa Ippei's gaze suddenly stopped, because he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in the distance.

The figure of a lazy man.

Oh my god, I actually saw this fat donkey in the office. Could it be that the heavens had a vision and struck a lightning bolt in the middle of the night to awaken his intelligence? Light up his labor spirit? That's why this miraculous scene happened?

The agent excitedly expressed his respect to Jesus and Buddha in his heart.

The elevator in the distance arrived and a few colleagues walked in, including Fat Donkey.
