Tokyo Sound

It is impossible to compete with aliens in terms of brainpower. The only way to maintain this kind of life is to study history, culture, language and literature, play cards, fish and birds.

Relying on the Corridor of Life to brag about world history to the teacher, using your own first-class Trump language to chat with Chinese students about Mr. Zhu's [Note: referring to Zhu Ziqing] back, Mr. Hu's [Note: referring to Hu Shi] mahjong, and Brother Xun's [Note: referring to Lu Xun] to earn credits, isn't it great?

As for graduate schools that award master's and doctoral degrees, haha.

The most important thing in life is to be happy.

Now that the freshman year has just begun, the school is thriving and bustling. The seniors stare at the freshmen like jackals, just to find those beautiful figures among them.

I'm at the University of Tokyo, just got off the train. Thank you for the invitation from the welcome clubs. I have no vested interests and I don't know any of them, so I'll remain anonymous for now.

To celebrate the Nobel Prize of Kentaro Sang of the Institute of Space International Studies, the cafeteria is offering a 10% discount on tonkatsu rice bowls from now on and comes with a free iced lemonade.

Xinran went to eat alone and sat in a uncrowded corner. She was mistaken for a poor marginal person with no friends and received kind care from the dean who happened to pass by.

Old intellectuals sat with him, cheered him on, and told him stories of the student movement. His words were full of the troubles and struggles of youth, which were treasures that needed to be opened patiently and correctly.

During the meeting, the two had a brief exchange on the evolution and changes of primates and the changes in civilization. Faced with the freshman who could freely flip through the 28 volumes of the Civilization series in his mind anytime and anywhere and answer questions fluently, the dean highly praised his amazing knowledge reserves and cordially invited him to join the volunteer activity in the afternoon.

As a former team leader, a three-good student, and now an excellent moral role model, he naturally accepted this good deed.

In the afternoon, he and the team took a bus to an elementary school to provide career counseling for the children... My God, he didn't expect that the children here would start to develop the mindset of planning their lives in the sixth grade.

While the man was sweating profusely because of the terrible oppression of this country, he gave the young study committee member a responsible and detailed basic knowledge of the survival rules of office animals. But even if the content of licking shoes and bowing down was reduced, the darkness of the adults still scared the little guy to tears. In the end, before his parents arrived, he stopped crying by imitating the voice of the animated Cheese Superman and survived.

After returning to school, he went out to eat alone again and was photographed by a senior from the photography club without permission - the moonlight and the yellow light penetrated the glass, reducing the turbidity and reflecting on the boy's delicate profile. He stared at the pork chop on the plate in silence, exuding loneliness and sadness like ice crystals.

It is really a picture of "the lonely snow gasping for breath in the cracks of the human world", thought the senior student.

It's really a picture of "The juicy meat and delicious side dishes in the cafeteria", Yin Ze thought.

The senior wants to take this photo to participate in the campus photography competition.

After a negotiation.

The man chose the portrait fee instead of the useless contact information.

After dinner, I walked around the dormitory building and couldn't help but recall the hard work I had to endure in college. Even the cleaning lady who came to work in the morning at the nearby Internet cafe knew the name of the hardworking boy who fell asleep with his head resting on the keyboard.

I wanted to live in the school and experience the indulgent life again.

After all, classes at a world-class university—it must be much more fun to escape from.

But I saw a group of men dressed in cross-dresses on the second floor, talking about a cross-dressing training camp. On the third floor, medical students were simulating human anatomy, and they even smeared a lot of artificial plasma on their bodies to achieve a sense of presence. On the sixth floor, an international roundtable meeting was taking place, with each person speaking one language, communicating across languages, and helping to learn multiple foreign languages ​​while chatting. The most bizarre thing was that someone was using sign language, and his hands were changing so fast that it was like he was performing the Five Release Ninjutsu. There were also students collecting clothes, passing by with homemade Kamen Rider suits that were drying in the sun, and in the corridor in the distance, a classmate in a purple suit and clown makeup was standing and admiring the night view.

Yin Ze left the dormitory in silence.

I squeezed into the car again and went back to the rented house and lay down.

What is it like to be a student at Donghua University? Those who understand know it well without much explanation, and those who don’t understand can’t explain it. What you find on the Internet are what others are willing to show you. Only people in the circle can understand the real things. I can only say that those who understand understand.

I took out my class schedule and looked at it. I had to spare a lot of time for classes in my 24 hours, which were already filled with work, and listen to the experts from all walks of life explain the truth.

...I must buy a car in the future. It's too inconvenient to run around. For now, how about getting an alpaca to get around?

The next morning, Yin Ze bought a copy of "Original Payment Exemption License Reference Book" at a nearby bookstore. He flipped through it while eating buns and drinking soy milk, then went to the vehicle management office to register for the test and passed the physical examination.

All 50 questions in the written test were multiple-choice. He picked up his pen as fast as lightning and marked all the answers in a flash. Before others could even sit down, he had already handed in his paper and left the exam room.

The results were released, and yes, I got full marks. I went back downstairs to pay the driving skills training fee, fill out the form, wait, and participate... When I came out again, I had a 50cc original driver's license in my hand.

And the brand new reference book that I had just bought that morning was given to a woman who failed the exam and had to retake it.

Now that I have the license, of course it’s time to buy a car!

In fact, it is not just women who like shopping. Men are equally irresistible to the behavior of buying equipment. If this habit can be strengthened, it will be a disaster for wealth.

After spending half a day in the second-hand market, I found a 60% new Honda small-displacement motorcycle. It has a plump body, a pink paint job, a wide seat, and a red lottery ticket from a shrine tied to the handle.

The boss said that this was obtained by the previous owner, who was a female college student, when she worked part-time as a shrine maiden.

The man pondered, then immediately took action.

Very good, this is my first mount in the parallel world, I will call you Pink Lady.

Yin Ze nodded in appreciation with satisfaction.

Riding a bicycle, I leisurely passed through the streets and alleys, feeling the breeze on my face, watching the passers-by, kindergarten children wearing yellow caps and carrying red backpacks, listening to the sound of the tram tracks, and especially seeing the multi-carriage carriages filled with people, office workers were squeezed and their faces were out of balance.

It's rare for a man to feel so happy.

But 50cc is still too small, and there are legal speed limits and no extra passengers allowed.

Yin Ze gently stroked the headlights of the pretty lady. It was only less than an hour ago that he bought it, but he was thinking that he must get a stronger one when he had time in the future.

If you want to exchange a new person for an old one, no, a new car for a used one, you need money.

When I think of this, my desire to work becomes stronger.

Unexpectedly, the agent called me right away.

...What a terrible sense of capital.

"Hey?"

"Takizawa-kun, the broadcast received good response. You did a good job, you did a good job!" Kashiwai Ippei laughed.

"Oh."

"I have several valuable audition opportunities. Come here quickly and I will reimburse you for your travel expenses!" The agent has gradually mastered the code to instruct him.

"Isn't this inappropriate?" Yin Ze said a little embarrassedly after hearing this.

"What are you pretending to be? I've paid for the bus, hurry up."

"Okay, when I get there, remember to give me the 40,000 yen."

"Forty thousand?! Did you fall into the sea?" Kashiwai Ippei was shocked.

"I just bought a car with paid original payment, and you said you would reimburse my car expenses. Oh, you are really too enthusiastic." Yin Ze said politely.

beep.

The phone hangs up.

Don't give him the opportunity to say bad things.

It seems that the agent has indeed figured out how to deal with him.

Chapter 17: People in the Jianghu have no choice

After having the Pretty Lady, I feel a lot more refreshed at work.

Some people are eager to climb to the top of the mountain and look down on the world, while others are deeply trapped in the convenience of shortcuts. But men are not impatient and enjoy the fulfillment and beauty of "being on the road" more than going all out.

The scooter travels along the intricate traffic lines of the city, and details that you would not notice on weekdays can be clearly heard, such as freshly baked milk bread, the old 100-yen store playing Showa golden songs, and the lazy cat basking in the sun on the wall.

Peel off this layer of bustle and noise and you will get a glimpse of the rare leisure of Tokyo.

Thirty per hour is very slow, but life does not necessarily require you to be on edge all the time. This state of stealing half a day of leisure from life abandons the pursuit of money and desires and brings a different kind of Zen.

How many people are lost in assembly-line work. At this moment, he is detached from reality, free and pure.

There was a smile of relief and relaxation on his face, as if he had finally touched the real Truman and felt reborn.

And when you change, the world you live in will surely respond to you loudly.

as predicted.

He is late.

"Are you really from the coastal area?!" Kashiwa Ippei asked immediately, "The audition is almost over!"

"Oh my, I just can't go any faster." Yin Ze put his hands together to apologize, "The alleys written on the map are so winding and I hit a wall after another. This is second only to using navigation to find the way in the foggy mountain city [Note: "Foggy Mountain City" refers to Chongqing, named after the foggy area and the fact that it is built on a mountain]."

"Don't talk about it for now, get ready." The agent pushed him into the recording studio like a duck.

After all, Yin Ze has worked on many film sets and has received many auditions since his debut, so he is already familiar with this.

It is worth mentioning that, apart from Knight Brother and the monster Gin, he has not won any other important roles. Most of the time, he was just a supporting role, saying some meaningless nonsense.

After all, there are more voice actors than jobs, and even if you are a young novice monk who has just become a monk, you will not only compete with your peers. Instead, you will often have to compete on the same stage with accomplished monks and great masters.

Yin Ze can get a supporting role every time he tries it, which shows that he is gifted.

But apparently his agent thought he should be stronger, and even started using his connections to get him projects at the third or second male lead level.

But to be honest... he has never taken an acting class, and so far he has relied on Takizawa's previous training and his innate good voice to hold the stage.

Obviously, this amount of money is not enough.

This time, the actor was a popular and charismatic villain with an extreme and somewhat morbid personality. The sound director was very impressed with his performance and voice at first, but after several feedbacks, he failed to get the desired on-the-spot transformation and other changes, so he regretfully called the next one.

The two met again in the corridor.

"Okay, don't be discouraged. It's just a failure. It's no big deal." Kashiwa Ippei comforted him in a gentle tone.

"I'm not depressed." Yin Ze waved his hand.

"Nonsense, I'm just saying this to myself. How thick-skinned am I supposed to be? " Kashiwai Ippei said unhappily.

"..."

"But after watching it a few times, I find that my foundation is indeed a bit shallow." The agent said, "I need to study and think about it carefully. By the way, do you usually watch anime?"

"Look at what you said. How can I not read it when I'm in this line of work?"

"Then can you elaborate on it?"

This is a bit too much and it's workplace bullying.

The parallel world is filled with countless seemingly true and false things. He has seen a lot of them, but he doesn't know where to start.

A certain work about tennis [Note: Prince of Tennis] is famous for its rigor and authenticity. There is absolutely no such absurd thing as a ball blasting a wall, collapsing a ship, breaking bones and splashing blood on the court. Moreover, the author likes to let the male and female protagonists have sweet moments.

There is also a cartoonist in the industry who is known for his diligence. He maintains serialization without fail, never takes leave to collect materials, and does not like gambling, especially Mahjong [Note: he is based on Togashi Yoshihiro, but the treacherous old thief Togashi is still on hiatus].

A famous director who created a purple robot that goes crazy also pursues efficiency and rarely misses a deadline [Note: he is based on Hideaki Anno].

There are countless examples like this, just as confusing as Lord Kenshin turning into a woman.

Alas, King Arthur, who should have become a woman, did not change. How boring.

"Young voice actors cannot compete with those experienced actors in terms of professional skills. If they want to become famous, they still need to do some packaging." Kashiwai Ippei said, "It's time to consider your 'personality'. You have a good appearance and are a student of Tokyo University. You can definitely go for the high-quality boyfriend route for female audiences. In this way, you can specifically take on those otome-oriented ones and hold a few fan meetings..."

"But I already have a favorite acting style." Yin Ze interrupted him.

"What is it?" Kashiwai Ippei was very curious.

"The male protagonist of a harem pornographic anime!" Yin Ze was overjoyed.

"He's the protagonist of a reverse harem anime. I understand." Kashiwai Ippei pretended to understand.

"No, it's the kind where all kinds of beautiful girls gather around me, not the kind where all kinds of beautiful boys gather around me!" Yin Ze insisted.

"Isn't this completely different from the ideal boyfriend I imagined? Did you listen to my analysis?"

"Alas, this is an industry that relies on skills to make a living, but you want to turn me into a gigolo, and you yourself become a brothel owner to trick young women to make quick money. I am very disappointed in you."

"This is a necessary sacrifice." The agent shook his head. "How many people don't have the chastity to sacrifice? No need to say more. I will pay attention to the planning for the female market later. For now, just leave it at that."

"In fact, in addition to the male protagonist in harem erotic anime, I am also very interested in another type of acting, and I even have a strong desire to work on it." Yin Ze suddenly said.

"What?" Although he had a bad feeling, Kashiwai Ippei still asked.

"The male protagonist of anime."

"What?!" the agent was furious.

"Sir, you seem to have some prejudice against the voice actors in R-anime. You should know that their acting skills are even much better than those in regular anime. Sometimes the picture is bad and it all depends on the actors to hold it up." Yin Ze said seriously.

"How can you just jump into the adult entertainment industry right away? No! Just give up on this idea!" The agent blocked his dream.

"Then the male protagonist of Adult GalGame..." Yin Ze was unwilling to give up.

"No way, don't even think about it!"

"Not even a one percent chance?"

"It's okay to play with the edge ball, but the subject matter has to be changed." Kashiwa Ippei pondered, "If it's BL for rotten girls, I won't stop you if you are determined to donate your body..."

"Aren't you too hypocritical?" It was Yin Ze's turn to be shocked.

"Then let's both take a step back. You don't want to get into the adult entertainment industry, and I don't want to take on any BL-type projects. Let's just take on normal otome projects, ok?" Kashiwai Ippei suggested.

After going around in a circle, we are back to the classic, each taking a step back, and a genius in rhetoric.
