Tokyo Sound

When the man in the elevator figured this out, his eyes suddenly lit up. The light above his head was like the holy light from Jesus. He felt sublimated, his heart was filled with expectations for the future of his life, and his whole body exuded rich positive energy.

He walked out of the elevator with his head held high and full of energy. Yin Ze saw an old acquaintance smoking in the emergency passage at the side of the corridor. The sound supervisor had a good year and seemed to have gained a few pounds.

"Isn't this Nagasaki-san? Happy New Year!"

"Wow, Newcomer, you're here pretty early. Doesn't the recording start at 10 o'clock?" Nagasaki Yukinu said in surprise, holding the cigarette holder.

"Get used to the official set in advance." Yin Ze said.

"Yeah, how about breakfast?"

"I ate two rice balls."

"There's heating in the lounge, and there are snacks prepared. Go sit there and wait." Nagasaki Yukinu said, "Another voice actor has also arrived early. We have to rehearse scenes anyway, so you two can chat for a while. Oh, that's the best thing about being young. I've been up so early and always want to take a nap."

Is there anyone who has less time and arrives earlier than me?

What he subconsciously thought of was a warrior like Matsuoka who fought with all his strength around the clock.

I guess this is another supporting actor who fights for his destiny and believes that hard work pays off.

Yin Ze went to the vending machine and bought three bottles of hot coffee. He first gave one to the sound monitor to refresh himself, drank one himself, and then gave one to the extra as a greeting.

The door to the lounge was not closed, and when I got closer I could hear the morning news on the small TV.

He stepped in, his eyes passed over the steaming tea, the brown square table with rice crackers, and fell on the girl sitting on the sofa, concentrating on reading the script silently. She was wearing a furry white waistcoat, with her head lowered, her hair on both sides falling softly on the pages of the book, and her slender eyelashes trembled as he moved his eyes.

A warm stove, vibrant news, a quiet and transparent girl, it is a very cozy and beautiful scene, which reminds people of many beautiful things, like sweet milk after being boiled, like the moon in Natsume Soseki's mouth, and like the breeze sweeping through the wheat in the fields in the evening.

Unexpectedly, it was a girl. Yin Ze was slightly stunned.

The sound of footsteps broke her thoughts. At this time, the girl had raised her clear eyes full of youthfulness.

The two looked at each other from a distance.

"Good morning, I'm here to record as well." Yin Ze smiled and walked over to hand over the coffee in his hand. "You don't mind drinking bitter coffee so early in the morning, right?"

"Ah... hello, I'm Rina Hidaka from Osawa Office." The girl reacted, put down the script, stood up and took the coffee.

"I'm Takizawa Satoru from IM, nice to meet you."

The two people shook hands politely.

"Please give me your guidance on today's work." The girl followed the procedure seriously.

“Haha, I’ve only just finished filming one episode, what can I teach you?” Yin Ze joked, “Sit down, sit down.”

Obviously, she didn't expect to get such a lively answer. It was a little difficult to deal with for a moment, so the girl had to sit back and pick up the script again.

"When did you arrive?" Yin Ze asked, and noticed the snacks on the table. "Ah, can I have a few cookies?"

"Be here around 8 o'clock." The girl named Hidaka pushed the bag of cookies to his side. "I made these myself. If you don't mind..."

"It tastes so mellow and fragrant. It's really well made." Yin Ze gave a thumbs up while chewing.

"...Thank you." Hidaka was somewhat surprised by the cheerfulness of this person, and said softly, "You seem to be very happy. Did something happy happen?"

"Nothing, I just suddenly realized that I saved a house and a car." Yin Ze sighed softly.

Although it was a confusing statement, Hidaka still managed to keep smiling and agreed with a sentence "Is that so".

"I thought I would be the first one to arrive, but I didn't expect you to arrive half an hour early."

"Because today's work is very important, I don't want to disappoint my agent or hold others back. Plus, I'm a little nervous, so arriving early can help me calm down."

"Well, I can understand that. After all, we are in similar positions. Newcomers are afraid of messing up and worried about being criticized by their seniors. But newcomers also have the right to ask for tolerance, and it's just a few lines. It's okay, no need to worry!" Yin Ze cheered up his young colleague.

"Thank you for your encouragement." Hidaka said with a strange look on his face.

"But proper preparation is indeed necessary. At least you should have the confidence." Yin Ze happily opened the thick script.

Hidaka secretly glanced at the script in the boy's hand, which was as clean and new as if it had just been printed, and then looked down at the script that he had written notes on with various markers and folded up a bookmark.

"Takizawa-kun seems to be working hard too." The girl managed to force out a sentence with dignity.

"It's okay." Someone said politely.

Hidaka forced a smile, looked away, and stopped paying attention to this seemingly frivolous person, concentrating on continuing to perform silently in his mind.

Yin Ze also picked up the book seriously - in fact, he was playing "Wulin Wai Zhuan" in Schrodinger's Life Corridor.

The only sound in the lounge was the gentle reporting of the female anchor on the morning news channel. It was as quiet as before the boy came.

Chapter 2: A Good Memory Is Not as Good as a Bad Pen

When the video of Lao Xing shouting in fear in the alley "Bai Yu Tang is eating people!" was replayed, there were already several more people in the lounge without them noticing.

Nagasaki Yukinu also came over with her little belly swung, and kindly informed us that we could start recording.

So everyone packed up what needed to be packed up, paused their TV shows, and headed to the work site.

This was Yin Ze's second time in the recording studio. He had some experience, so after entering, he consciously stood in the corner where extras should be.

"So today we'll start the recording of 'Dark Reincarnation Fantasy'. Everyone can briefly introduce yourselves first, and we'll start immediately after the equipment is debugged." Nagasaki Yukinu said as he put down a half-drunk cup of coffee on the edge of the workbench.

"I'm Hino Satoshi from Production baobab, and I'll be playing the male lead, Miran Creed. Please give me your guidance." The senior senior, who was well-mannered and calm, spoke first and set an example.

"Hello everyone, I'm Rina Hidaka from Osawa, and I play the heroine Panisse. There are still many immature parts, so I will try my best to keep up with the pace. Please give me your advice!" The young girl's eyes twinkled and she bowed perfectly 90 degrees to them.

Ah? Aren't you a supporting role?

Yin Ze in the corner was a little confused. How come you are the object of my loyalty and love in the drama?

"Matsuji Nakajima from IM is the leader of the bandits who stole the princess." A senior who looked like a typical herbivore said gently.

Then it was the turn of passers-by to introduce themselves energetically.

"I'm Takizawa Satoru from IM, and I'm the voice actor for the knight Elredo Charles Treves Jasin. I hope to get some guidance from you guys." Yin Ze said last. Nakajima, a big brother from the same agency, gave a thumbs up to the handsome junior to show his encouragement, and Hidaka, the only one who was familiar with him in advance, also gave him a stiff smile.

Yin Ze held his forehead.

He was like mistaking his friend's back on the street, and ended up rushing up to slap him hard on the butt to make him turn his head. How embarrassing...

Unfortunately, I can't run away now. Apart from the narration, the first episode starts with the knights sending each other carriages for the princess.

Yin Ze and Hidaka Rina, as the first characters to appear, are already in front of the microphone.

The red light that reminded the recording was on, and the display screen not far away played a picture with a digital axis accurate to milliseconds. The middle-aged man in charge of the opening speech lowered his voice and began to speak in a deep voice.

The recording studio also fell completely silent.

"The distant continent of Ashbili is the birthplace of gods and elves, where all races took root and thrived. But with the disappearance of the last original god, the throne that controls the world order was left without a master, and the war of desire and greed flooded every place like a huge wave. The elves were slaughtered, the demons were singing, and the human race was struggling."

To be honest, the narration is very emotional, with ups and downs and an epic feel. However, coupled with the slow presentation of the screen, the sloppy line drawings, the rough storyboards, the careless "fire effects" directly marked with words, and the devil's evil grin that resembles a groundhog's scream... it makes people feel very out of place.

The artist must have been sleep deprived, Yoon-taek thought sadly.

"Saint Kazaar opened a new era of peace, but the struggle will not disappear even after thousands of years, and the struggle for power will continue."

The picture shows a magnificent battle scene, with a bunch of matchstick men waving toothpicks and crashing into each other. Only the generals have a close-up with barely any facial features, and then there are various special effects marked with words.

"In the 258th year of the Holy Calendar, many countries on the continent signed a peace treaty. After being burned by war, this land of the gods finally had a chance to breathe again, but no one knew how long this peace would last—"

The scene shifts to a long forest, where a carriage is moving slowly.

Hidaka Rina and Yin Ze were cheered up, knowing that it was their turn. The girl stared at the screen and rehearsed the script according to the time. Yin Ze also looked at the screen attentively, especially the sketch of the knight brother, which looked so interesting that he was so curious that he could not take his eyes away.

But no matter how happy he was, the progressive lines that sounded like those in a KTV song hanging next to his vision reminded him that it was time to speak.

"Stop the car." Yin Ze spoke in a split second, following the subtitles, "Your Highness, we've been walking for most of the day, do you want to come out for some fresh air?"

"I'm not in the mood." Hidaka Rina continued, holding the script.

"As a commoner, I am powerless to interfere in transactions between royal families." Yin Ze paused, "But no matter how thorny this road is, Your Highness Panisse, I will definitely protect your safety."

"Elredo, don't worry, I'm fine."

"… Let's rest here for a while. Please call me if you need anything."

"Elredo."

"what?"

"No, it's okay. You can continue to be on guard."

"You are still the same, never hiding your loss and sadness. If possible, I would like to listen to you. You have been silent since leaving the capital, and I am worried."

The two of them sang in unison, and the performance was steady and there were no embarrassing incidents like a novice biting his tongue or eating a screw. It could even be said to be remarkable. Nagasaki Yukinu, who was sitting opposite the soundproof glass and wearing headphones, also nodded silently from time to time.

This was their first time playing a leading role and making their debut, and both of them performed very well.

The senior from the same company, Nakajima Kenji, who had been watching from the sidelines, finally joined in at this time. With Yin Ze's shout of "enemy attack", the knight's death was immediately kicked off.

First there was a burst of attack and self-defense, the grunts and haws of purely modal particles simulating a battle, and then there was a standoff.

"Are you the leader? With such swordsmanship and skills, why do you still wear a mask and do such a shameful act? How dare you offend the majesty of the royal family? Who instructed you?"

"Hehe, the power of the King's Knights who have been selected through rigorous trials is indeed extraordinary, but is this enough to protect the person you swore to?" Nakajima Jianji has a harmless appearance, but speaks in an extremely sinister and vicious tone.

"That depends on how capable you are!" Yin Ze said righteously.

In the picture, the knight and the terrorist leader rushed forward with swords drawn and fought each other, but in the next shot, the knight's arm holding the sword was cut off and flew high.

"Eldore!!" Hidaka Rina screamed in grief.

"Don't come over here, Your Highness!"

"This is the end, weak knight, open your eyes and see your end clearly!"

The knight with the broken hand stood up bravely, chanted a spell and used the secret of mutual destruction to pounce on the terrorist leader. After a puff of smoke dissipated, the only one lying on the ground was the wounded knight.

The thief leader ignored him and showed a sinister smile, intending to capture the princess. At this time, Yin Ze had already stepped back and handed the microphone to the real boss.

"Let her go!" As soon as he opened his mouth, I could tell from his temperament and tone that the male protagonist was here.

The powerful and arrogant thief boss soon fell down, and Yin Ze quickly walked to the front of Nakajima Jianshi's microphone again.

"Eldorei, please, don't die, don't leave me."

"Ah... Your Highness, please do not shed tears for me. This body and life were given to you when I became a knight and swore an oath. Unknown brave boy, I beg you to protect Your Highness to Snow Peak City."

"Of course, I swear, loyal warrior, you can rest in peace."

The red light during recording goes out.

"Okay, part A is over." Nagasaki Yukinu said.

The serious and solemn recording studio relaxed a little after hearing these words.

"You did a great job, newbie." Nakajima Jianji patted Yin Ze's shoulder and encouraged him, "Especially your wailing when I killed you was really touching!"

"No, no, it's all because of the good guidance of my predecessors that I could not die so gracefully." Yin Ze laughed.

"Hidaka-chan is great too. I'm sure Osawa will be very stable from now on."

"No, no, thank you!" Hidaka Rina replied quickly.

"That's great. I want to be praised too." Hino Satoshi said, swaying with his hands on his hips.

"You're not a newcomer anymore, right? Stop pretending to be young." Nakajima Jianji scolded with a smile.

The few seniors were not strict, but were very friendly and created a happy atmosphere in the recording studio. Yin Ze was thinking about going back to the new house to clean up after the filming was finished, but he felt that since the opportunity was rare, he might as well gain more experience, so he stayed.

Part B is basically a tug-of-war between the male protagonist and the princess, paving the way for the subsequent plot, which was also completed smoothly. Then Nagasaki Yukinu started to re-record some flawed lines individually. After several times, Yin Ze, who was just watching the show, was also called out.

He had the illusion that he had not done his homework well and as a result, the head teacher called him to the podium to explain it personally.

"Takizawa-kun, please re-record your lines with a different feel." The sound director said shockingly.

Someone's whole body trembled.

This is not going up to the podium, this is being caught smoking and provocatively handing a cigarette to the director of the Moral Education Department. As a result, he was dragged to the flag-raising platform in the playground and criticized and educated with a loudspeaker.

The other voice actors also stood in silence, as if they had not expected this.

"Excuse me, does this mean that there is something wrong with me?" Yin Ze felt extremely guilty. Could it be that the bottle of hot coffee was not to the old man's taste?

"That's not the case. It's just that it's rare for things to go so smoothly. You're only here this once, so why not record an extra version?" Nagasaki Yukinu said with a smile.

"...No problem. How do you want to change it?" Yin Ze said, touching his gurgling chest.

"Act like you're the leading man. It's okay to be a little flashy." Nagasaki Yukinu said succinctly.

Yin Ze scratched his head. Although he was confused, he had to try his best to meet Party A's needs.

"Then I'll cooperate with you too." Seeing this, Hidaka Rina kindly tried to test him.
