Tokyo Sound

"Let's not mention it. The Mars group that the three of us participated in King of the Idols 2 is almost as good as never existed. Nothing has happened, and we're afraid of causing bad luck again." Shimazaki Nobunaga shook his head when he heard this.

"That was caused by various reasons. We can only say that destiny is not in our favor..." Kashiwa Ippei sighed.

However, in recent times, public opinion seems to have improved.

The main reason is that the two voice actors under his command have worked hard to earn popularity and provide reverse blood transfusion. Now there are also people shouting that they want to listen to the black swordsman and the silver knight sing...

Unfortunately, because of a single thought, I destroyed all my hopes!

What the hell is this? The dubbing becomes the animation supervisor!

When he thought of it, the agent's face twisted and he felt pain in his heart again, so he had to drink to drown his sorrows.

"Well, we have to see what Junior Sister wants. What if she just wants to focus on dubbing and doesn't like to sing and dance on stage?" Yin Ze thought seriously, "Daxi, what do you think?"

"Ah?" The girl who was named was startled.

"Don't worry, you have your seniors to support you. If you don't like it, just say it directly. Don't be afraid of offending your agent." Yin Ze saw that she was stupid and probably worried, so he comforted her in advance.

"Should I take it or not?" Ohnishi Saori hesitated, her eyes moving left and right. "If I have to say, I'm not used to wearing a skirt and singing and dancing on stage... It's a bit embarrassing."

"Good. He is the traditional behind-the-scenes type like me and Matsuoka." Yin Ze said with satisfaction, "He works slowly and steadily, and participates in the creation of works with great concentration. His original intention is very good."

"Then give it to others." Kashiwai Ippei's face was full of surprise.

Saori Ohnishi's expression was solemn, because she didn't know whether her answer could be considered a statement of her stance.

"In these few seasons, no matter how big or small the role is, I will try my best to help her get an audition opportunity." Kashiwai Ippei gradually became more Buddhist.

"You are so ignorant. Isn't the Nagasaki Music Supervisor sitting here?" Yin Ze was unhappy. "Are you more informed than others?"

"——If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten." Kashiwa Ippei was awakened from a dream, and slapped his forehead, "We've been having dinner together every now and then, and I subconsciously have completely regarded him as a drinking buddy instead of a sound supervisor. It's all your fault. When I played with him before, I still remembered the business, but since you got involved, my mind has been empty. Nagasaki-san, come here, have a sip, how's business lately?"

"You're not pretending at all, your purpose is so clear..." Nagasaki Yukinu was speechless, "But this reminds me of the time when you asked me to take care of him. In the blink of an eye, there's a new junior."

"Back then, I was blinded by the sand and didn't know better, so I did that." Kashiwa Ippei cried, "Now, please allow me to solemnly request that you stop caring about this guy and turn your attention to the real newcomer."

"Okay, okay, next time I meet this kind of situation, I will take good care of her and talk her through the play properly so that she won't feel overwhelmed." Nagasaki Yukinu smiled bitterly.

"So when will the audition materials be sent out to people?" Yin Ze asked.

"I'll organize the resources when I go back today." Kashiwa Ippei thought for a moment.

"Why is this happening, Brother Kashiwa?" The man was a little disappointed.

"Wow, come on, Sir. You first rejected Imas's luxurious meal ticket, and then turned around and said I'm not good enough. Do you have to be so strict?" The agent widened his eyes.

"Brother Yoshida, are there any additional characters in 3.0?" Yin Ze thought it would be better to ask another teammate instead of his own teammate, so he turned around and asked.

"That's for sure." Tomoki Yoshida sipped the champagne slowly.

"Can you give my junior sister a chance to audition?"

"Sure. But it's just an audition, the result is not guaranteed."

"Just give them a chance, the rest depends on their skills and personal performance."

"Okay then. When you are free, come to the Third Development Division."

between understatements.

Then I found an important opportunity.

"Who is the agent between you two?" Shimazaki Nobunaga, who had been enjoying his meal, asked a fatal question.

"This is the embodiment of our company's unity, helping each other." Kashiwa Ippei coughed dryly a few times, "I understand what you, Qingyi, don't understand."

"Yes, yes, only with companions who can help each other can we go further. It's worth it that I organized team building to enhance the relationship, listened to his depression and solved his doubts. Now this love and bond have been passed on by him." Nakajima Jianji was moved and praised.

"Thank you for your trust and the opportunity." Saori Ōnishi finally reacted and said to Tomoki Yoshida with some fear.

"It's okay, it's just a small matter. I look forward to your performance." Yoshida Tomoki nodded kindly, and then encouraged, "Everyone starts from scratch, don't feel pressured."

"For a pure newcomer, this is indeed a rare opportunity. Onishi-kun, please give a toast to Yoshida-san," Kashiwai Ippei reminded.

"Well, well, sorry, I don't drink. Can I have a drink?" Ohnishi Saori said hesitantly. She wasn't making excuses, she just couldn't drink.

At this moment, she was quite nervous. After all, it was a business discussion at a dinner party, even though it was just an audition... and several people were behaving very strangely.

But anyway, this was her first time experiencing this.

My aunt, who worked in a large company, said a lot about workplace dinners. In short, women are usually at a disadvantage in such occasions.

For example, she had to take the initiative to pour wine for other men and show etiquette. She remembered that she had done this at high school reunions before - but today, this job was taken away by handsome seniors, and she didn't find any opportunities.

Besides, we have to accompany the most important guests. No matter how we think about it, it is definitely not okay to use orange juice.

But I really can’t drink.

"Well, of course drinks are not allowed." Yoshida Tomoki suddenly became strict, folded his hands, adopted a tough stance, and spoke in a muffled voice.

"Ah..." Saori Ōnishi suddenly felt embarrassed.

"Then I'll take her place." Kashiwa Ippei smiled and said, skillfully smoothing things over. "I'm sorry, Mr. Yoshida, she's allergic to alcohol. I'll drink three glasses to show my gratitude."

"No, no." Yoshida Tomoki still puffed out his chest like a gorilla and shook his head slowly.

Even drinking three cups as punishment? Is he stricter than the Sir just now?

Kashiwai Ippei scratched his head, feeling a little tricky. This was actually the first time he met this producer, and he didn't know what to do, so he had to turn around and look at someone.

"...Don't look at him. His purpose is very simple. He just wants me to drink." Master Yin was speechless.

"How can you say that? It makes me sound like I'm threatening you." The producer said in a deep voice, "Okay, to be fair, let's play rock-paper-scissors. You don't have to play, but you have to tell me the details of how you left me behind and went to eat at someone else's house."

"?"

"Okay, okay, I support you, but it's just one win and one loss, there's a chance of that, why not try to play it two out of three?" Shimazaki Nobunaga happily expressed his support, "Don't look at me like that, I'm doing this for your own good. If you guess a few more times, you won't lose to luck so easily..."

"Hahaha." The man shook his head and laughed.

"Why are you laughing suddenly?" Shimazaki Nobunaga frowned.

"Nothing, I just laugh at the producer's cowardice and the Sixth Heaven Demon King's lack of courage." The man stood on his horse with a sword in hand, looking very brave and invincible. "I didn't expect you to be so afraid of me that you dare not confront me head-on, but only dare to use tricks to add to the jokes. Well, I'll be the banker at Russian roulette today. All of you, come on!"

The whole scene was stunned for a moment by this powerful man.

"What day is tomorrow?" Yoshida Tomoki turned his head belatedly.

"It's a workday anyway," Shimazaki Nobunaga replied, "We all have to go to work, why drink? Drinking too much will cause trouble. In my opinion, only those who are slacking off and passive would want to drink heavily. We all have serious work to do, and we can't be foolish with them."

"Not bad, not bad." Yoshida Tomoki smiled carefreely, "And I saw that the orange juice this little girl drank was bright in color and good in texture. It must be a rare and high-quality product. Why don't we ask the waiter to bring two more bottles?"

"Seconded."

“It’s excellent.”

A few minutes later.

Saori Ōnishi stared blankly at a few people who were drinking orange juice like elementary school students, clinking glasses and enjoying themselves.

she was.

I am becoming more and more confused.

Chapter 75: Fiction!

“Every morning when I wake up, I meditate for half an hour to open my heart and mind.”

Yin Ze was drinking alone and got drunk at the orange juice banquet. At this time, he was teaching his skills and sharing his experience with his junior sister.

"Then I'll go for a morning run to wake up my body and mind, and then start my day's work, such as marking the script, reading the original work, etc. How terrible are self-disciplined people? Just look at me and you'll know..."

Saori Ōnishi listened carefully, not daring to be distracted. If conditions allowed, she would have taken notes.

Kashiwai Ippei watched coldly and just focused on eating his salad.

Haha, I don't believe you. The agent kept sneering at this hypocritical attitude. Morning exercises and meditation? Which set doesn't have people running faster than anyone else after get off work? When I sent him a message on his day off, he never responded until noon. He must have woken up because the sun was shining on his butt.

Fortunately, the man’s performance did not last long, and he soon started chatting with Yoshida Tomoki again.

"How is the progress of the new version?" Yin Ze asked casually.

"Just follow the procedure, no problem." Tomoki Yoshida said calmly.

"The CG of the expansion pack is very well done, it really is the heritage of a big studio."

"Of course, remember to come on time for the dubbing. Although you don't have many lines and you don't make any noise in the game, it's still the voice of the Warrior of Light. In fact, the official may publish some short stories about this matter in the form of radio dramas. In addition, the adventure stories shared by players on the forum are also very interesting and can be used for dubbing. Your N Station account has more followers than the third development department's public account, so you can just publish it."

“Although Yoshimoto-san has left, the art is still beautiful and solid. As the world view expands, the forms and types of monsters are becoming more open and complex. I personally prefer the classic image of the Western dragon. I am very happy with the design of the dungeon boss and the barbarian god this time. Games are a comprehensive art form. No matter how good the graphics are, they are useless without a structure. I sincerely admire Yoshimoto-san’s ability.”

Then both sides exchanged some incomprehensible words.

Such as "axis control in the BOSS stage", "player challenge cost and feedback", "scene route and time rhythm", "interactive props and UI optimization", "the balance between convergent experience to reduce contradictions and free exploration of realism"...

Exchanging ideas, sharing inspirations, analyzing psychology, it was like a beggar's version of a R&D meeting.

The more Kashiwa Ippei listened, the more uncomfortable he felt.

This guy and I have never talked so professionally or so heart-to-heart.

It was obviously me who came here first, whether I was the initial collaborator or the initial mentor.

The agent could only pour another glass of orange juice to relieve his boredom.

"For such a large project, the more experts the better." Yoshida Tomoki brought up the past again, his words full of temptation, "A group of team members resigned before, and there are still many vacancies that have not been filled. You work as a supporting role on the set of Zigongxiang, and you can only make a few thousand yen a day, and you have to find a new job every quarter. Why don't you come to my place as a team leader? Five million yen a year, it's much more generous."

what?

You're poaching people right in front of me?

The agent bit his salad harder unconsciously.

What if you even contacted me by phone or text message, even if it was done secretly?

But surprisingly, Kashiwai Ippei's mood did not fluctuate much.

"I'm not the kind of person who is fickle, greedy for money and fame. Besides, my passion has cooled down. Now I just want to live a peaceful life and be a hero to the children more often." Yin Ze waved his hand and said.

as predicted.

Kashiwa Ippei had a premonition and felt pleased.

If money could impress this guy, he would have already arranged for a single debut, choreographed dances, shot magazines, and appeared on all major TV stations. How could you, who showed up halfway, have a chance to appear?

It seems that in terms of the level of understanding, I am still better and I am the leader in the social circle. Haha.

Wait a moment.

hero?

He slowed down his drinking of orange juice.

Heroes are not limited to animations. Aren’t there also TV series and movies about heroes?

The agent frowned, then relaxed his brows. At this moment, he found a path he had never imagined, like a lightning in the night, breaking through the darkness. His thoughts diverged and he felt that there was a lot of potential. When he looked at the game producer again, his eyes were full of relief and gratitude to his enemy.

Unexpectedly, this reminded me. Thank you for your help!

Yoshida Tomoki, who was rejected, did not show any emotion, as he had expected the answer. However, a smart planner knows the principle of using a blunt knife to cut meat and boiling a frog in warm water. As of today, he has spread a lot of rumors inside and outside the circle that "this person was once my general". As the saying goes, a rope can saw through wood and a drop of water can wear away a stone. One day, these preparations will lead to a social phenomenon called "innocent monsters".

In fact, someone from Kyoto Animation has already asked whether this person has resigned. Haha, false is true. A bright future is not far away.

I thought Mr. Kashiwai would interfere, but he remained silent. I don't know what he is planning, but thank you for your help!

The agent and the producer made eye contact and smiled at each other, each with deep meaning in their expressions.

However, the most detached and kindhearted person at the dinner table is still the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven.

Shimazaki Nobunaga had no juniors, no hegemony, he just ate and drank, and relished his food. He had the most sober demeanor in the world. At this moment, his fork crossed two body lengths and quickly poked a piece of steak from someone's plate.

"Can your hands stretch that far?" Yin Ze said indifferently, "Next season you will defend James alone."

Kashiwai Ippei also looked at this person.

His two best friends from the same period have both played leading roles and are beginning to make a name for themselves, while he is still a minor character and a supporting actor, with no chance to rise. I guess he must be quite anxious inside, right? He is obviously very talented, but why does he still not have resources? Is he not good at fighting, or is he introverted and shy?

But no matter what, as a talent scout, I cannot sit idly by and do nothing about it.

Even if we take a step back, this image and this standard salty and melancholy temperament can also be called a handsome guy. It's just that some people are so bright that their appearance is ignored. In fact, even if you can't be the main rider, you can still be competitive as a second rider who is defeated or a third rider who fishes in troubled waters.

"I heard that Shimazaki Nobunaga-kun is also writing novels in addition to his main job?" Kashiwa Ippei said enthusiastically, "I also heard that the results of his submissions seem to be very ideal? He is indeed a rare talent."

"Sir, you have a keen eye." Shimazaki Nobunaga accepted the praise calmly.

"Your company is also a big player in the industry. It was founded quite early, so it is quite traditional. It emphasizes timelessness and innovation. Although this is the orthodox way, it still takes too long for a young person like you to grow up."
