Tokyo Sound

Chapter 160 If you want to become stronger, you have to eat people

Tokyo Ghoul is a food-themed manga that has been serialized for several years. Now that it has been announced that it will be adapted into an animation, the first part is not far from being completed. The fact that it was able to survive in Shueisha and successfully finish the series without being cut off proves that its quality is not bad and its popularity is also good. Moreover, the animation production company is still Jokersha.

Overall, it was a very good meal ticket. With such a good opportunity, it should have been a competitive audition, but the lead actor was appointed in advance and the information was sent to the email address of an IM agent.

If the internal decision of the main role of "Beyond the Boundary" still has a little suspicion of backdoor decision, then "Tokyo Ghoul" is a pure proof of popularity and strength, and both the original author and the animation production company recognize it.

After all, he is NewStar, the rookie king, the male voice actor with the strongest comprehensive qualities among the new generation in the industry. No, he is the voice actor with the strongest comprehensive qualities!

...Despite this, the lazy Master Yin had not read the notice at first. He was shocked when he was asked to discuss the voice and other matters. However, as he was about to go into battle without any preparation, the usually indifferent man was a little nervous. He quickly bought all the comics, started reading "Life Corridor" immersively, and did his homework.

In the chaotic and noisy modern city of Tokyo, there is a group of strange people who eat corpses. People call them ghouls. One day, Kaneki Ken, an ordinary college student at Kamii University, met a mysterious woman and was involved in a mysterious accident. From then on, the gears of fate full of twists and turns began to turn——

The man was surprised when he first read the outline, but then he was cheered up.

Scary monsters, special teams to deal with monsters, the sadness of ordinary college students being transformed into monsters, enemies and us having the same origin, wearing masks to hide identities... I am very familiar with these elements!

Although the setting is rather dark, I believe the story is warm and sunny because there are heroes.

Master Yin then read the comic book thoroughly with great interest.

Outside the quiet recording studio.

"So what did the main actor think after watching it?" the sound director asked calmly.

"I'm scared." The male voice actor quietly turned his head and looked at the daily scenery outside through the corridor window.

"?"

"Oh, what I mean is that I'm afraid that I won't be able to portray the complexity of Kaneki-kun well enough." The male voice actor shook his head and explained dryly.

"Don't worry about that. Everyone knows your abilities. There will be no problem. With so many works and characters with different personalities, your acting skills are reassuring." The sound director said naturally.

Yin Ze is already a duck to be sold, what else can he say? He can only nod with tears in his eyes and cooperate in completing the preparatory work. He shows the whispering of a high-quality gentle herbivore man, the crying and vomiting of being tortured, and the cold indifference after realizing the sadness.

"It's very malleable, very good, and very suitable." The sound director and a group of staff praised it one after another, saying that he is worthy of being the leader of the new generation and he is indeed very capable.

What was more surprising was that the comic book author also came to observe the behind-the-scenes work.

"Hello, Mr. Ishida." Yin Ze modestly greeted the young cartoonist, who looked like the kind of literary young man who would quietly think about life by the sunset river.

"This is the gift I brought. The summer heat is unbearable, so please take it home and freeze it to eat." Ishida Midori politely handed over a plastic bag, which actually contained a watermelon.

"Hey, here, here, why bring a gift?" Yin Ze said repeatedly, and finally took it with embarrassment. From a certain perspective, watermelon is a luxury in Japan, and it was a bit flattering to receive such a gift on the first meeting.

"I'll leave Kaneki-kun to me." Ishida Midori said, rubbing her hands, feeling a little uneasy like a parent who is leaving her child to a kindergarten teacher.

"Don't worry, I will try my best to play the role and will never do it perfunctorily." Yin Ze felt the heavy weight of the watermelon and promised solemnly, and then said, "But I didn't expect the teacher to be a boy. Looking at the painting style and details of the comics, I thought it was a girl with a delicate mind and a passion for watercolors."

"People often say that." Ishida Midori was a little embarrassed. "I will continue to improve my skills... By the way, can I have an autograph? I'm also following the account."

"Oh? Mr. Ishida also practices last punches?" Yin Ze was curious, and the aura of a strong man inadvertently leaked out. "Then we can have a few rounds of sparring if we have a chance."

"No, I'm actually following another account." Ishida Midori lowered her voice and leaned closer like a spy making a contact, "I also learned about it from a friend who works as an illustrator. The super crossbow illustrator whose true identity is unknown suddenly appeared on the Internet, capturing the attention and discussion of many masters. Just like Hikaru no Go, he is like an urban legend. Please be sure to give me an autograph..."

"I see. This is a trivial matter."

Yin Ze readily agreed. This was the first time he had encountered such a request in both his past and present lives. In the past, he was an ordinary Internet worker, not a big V or an artist. The only opportunities for him to write his name were on those mandatory information forms that might lead to information leakage. How could he encounter such a thing as chasing stars?

Due to the lack of a carrier, the man thought about it and took out the script from the preliminary audition.

The animation script that records the protagonist's lines should be a commemorative item for the original author.

The sound of the pen swishing, the strokes were very charming, with a sense of wildness and a kind of Fauvist beauty. When anyone writes his or her own name, he or she will inadvertently reveal the talent and spirituality of a calligrapher. Only two arrogant cursive Chinese characters were left on the script, which were the two words "Yin Ze".

After sending out the manuscript, Yin Ze also took out the original comic at the right time, hoping that the author would sign on it. Of course, Ishida Midori happily wrote down his name.

They both exchanged their calligraphy works and were delighted. This was truly the typical style of celebrities.

After talking with the sound supervisor for a while and finishing the preliminary work, Yin Ze left the building with his bag, thinking of finding a store nearby to fill his stomach.

Eating is also a hassle. Meals for one are cheap, but the content is not very good. It's the same old dishes, rice bowls, ramen, etc. After a long time, it's inevitable to want to have a good meal, but the main dishes are often not enough for one person to finish, and they may be wasted. The inconveniences of single people's life are always revealed inadvertently.

As I was hesitating, Line started shaking and the pure moon man sent me a message.

Ever since I accidentally sent the news about the two main characters last time, Shimazaki Nobunaga-kun has been holding on to it, always trying to take the opportunity to extort some mental damages from me.

"Minotaur Chieftain: I'm in Shibuya, getting ready to eat. If you can come within 10 minutes, it'll be my treat."

Haha, if you can’t come, then it wouldn’t be that you are not a brother who is disloyal.

"Pure Moon Man: What a coincidence, I was just doing an audition in Shibuya. Where are you? Take a picture."

"Tauren Chieftain:?"

「Mnotaurs Chieftain: Streets.jpg」

"Pure Moon Man: Street.jpg Hahaha! It's right next to you! I'm coming over here, so stay where you are and don't move. If you dare to run away, I will make you feel the chokehold of fatherly love!"

The man clicked on the photo that the other party had replied to him in seconds in doubt and looked at the same intersection shot from a different angle. He cried out in surprise and then showed an expression like a slave who had fallen in rank or a stock investor who had failed to buy at the bottom.

In just a few tens of seconds, the arrogant figure of the Sixth Heaven Demon King appeared in sight.

"Hey, I just passed the audition and got a leading role. Before I could announce the good news, you came to share the joy." Shimazaki Nobunaga said with relief, "You are worthy of being my best friend. Tell me, what do you want to eat?"

"Beef rice bowl or ramen, choose one, don't be shy." Yin Ze said with a smile.

"Oh, it turns out to be a strip of sirloin fillet with shrimp and cheese fettuccine." Shimazaki Nobunaga sneered and walked around, using his hands as tongs to hold someone's shoulders, and his other hand to hold someone's arm, and put on the brotherly and respectful manner that you only see in the news, and pushed the victim to the restaurant.

Now that he had been arrested, Yin Ze treated it as a gathering of friends and family. He did not hesitate and ordered a few main dishes to satisfy his appetite.

"You just said you got the main role?" Yin Ze asked as he flipped through the menu, "What anime is it?"

"It's a classic of its time, exploring the relationship between humans and nature. It's a sci-fi masterpiece that won the Kodansha Manga Award and the Manga Department's Nebula Award." Shimazaki Nobunaga shook the tall glass of lemonade and raised his head slightly. "It's called Parasyte."

"It sounds like there are horror elements?" Yin Ze asked again.

"There are indeed some R18 scenes." Shimazaki Nobunaga looked at the steaming dishes that had just been served and hesitated for a moment. "The setting is that after the mysterious larvae invade the body, the brain will be parasitized and die. After being parasitized, the food is the same species as the parasite. In other words, after being parasitized, people will eat each other."

"What? You want to eat people too?!" Yin Ze was shocked.

At this moment, the purity of the demon race has been greatly improved.

"Why do you say 'also'?" Shimazaki Nobunaga was stunned.

"Didn't I take on two main roles? One of them is to eat people." Yin Ze said happily, feeling the joy of being a fellow traveler.

"But I was originally an ordinary person and was forced to mutate," Shimazaki Nobunaga emphasized.

"Same thing. I'm not born to eat human flesh." Yin Ze sighed, "How could they be so similar?"

"No, no." Shimazaki Nobunaga shook his head, "My brain is not parasitic, only my right hand has mutated. My rationality is still there, so I don't need to eat it."

"How can you become stronger without eating? How can you sustain yourself without taking in nutrients?" Yin Ze questioned, "I've already laid this out, it would be a bit unreasonable not to eat a few... But the taste should be bad, sour and sweet."

"How do you know?" Shimazaki Nobunaga was horrified.

"Mr. Zhou Zuoren, who was rigorous in his academic research, wrote in his article "Lice" that 'According to Japanese legend, Buddha subdued Ksitigarbha and gave her pomegranate fruit to eat instead of human flesh, because the pomegranate fruit tastes sour and sweet like human flesh.' According to this statement, your taste is sweet and sour." Yin Ze was sure.

"Are you usually studying these things in college..." Shimazaki Nobunaga was a little skeptical.

The tutor will give a list every month which contains various articles and books, which is part of the performance appraisal.

"There is also a record that 'if eaten by a person who loves drinking, it is just like pork stored in wine lees', which says that the taste is the same as pork stored in wine lees..." Yin Ze added.

At the next table, a young couple who rarely get together were silent. They gradually felt that the sweet meal in front of them was not very delicious.

One of the girls secretly glanced at the handsome young man who was talking about cannibalism.

He looks quite handsome, especially like a certain warrior who has been very popular on the Internet recently.

What a typical femme fatale!

……

"Okay, let's stop here. I still have to go to another recording studio to work." Shimazaki Nobunaga's satiety level increased to +25. He touched his full belly, feeling very satisfied.

"How's your book?" Yin Ze was also touching his belly.

"It's okay. It wasn't very popular in the early stage of its release, but it seems to have enough staying power. At least it won't be cancelled in the short term... Also, if you want to touch it, please touch your belly." Shimazaki Nobunaga pushed someone's claws away from his belly, suppressing his goosebumps.

"I just felt your appetite and couldn't help it."

"Hey, your watermelon looks good. It's so hot, it's perfect for eating watermelon."

"This was given to me by the original author." Yin Ze said disdainfully, "I'm waiting to put it in the refrigerator when I get home. I'll use it for variety shows when it's cold. Don't think too much about it."

"Okay, then I'll go first. Goodbye." Shimazaki Nobunaga didn't say much, but just like the villain in the TV series, he showed an intriguing expression.

However, the man no longer felt anything about the Sixth Heaven Demon King's strangeness; he was used to it.

So without any deep thought, I just carried the small watermelon and walked towards another recording studio in Shibuya District.

Today's schedule is unexpectedly full.

The next place we are going to is the set of "The Other Side of the Boundary".

Ten minutes later.

"Hey, Supervisor, you're here?" Takemoto Yasuhiro waved and spotted the plastic bag with his sharp eyes. "Hey, why are you here so casually? I'm sorry to see you bringing a gift."

"Why are you here?" Yin Ze subconsciously put the bag behind him. "If I remember correctly, today is a workday. Why are you here if you are not in Kyoto to draw the draft?"

"Of course there has to be someone to oversee something as soul-injecting as dubbing," Yasuhiro Takemoto said as a matter of course.

But the man felt that this was a lie. There was obviously some twisted desire hidden in the other person's eyes. There must be ulterior motives.

"Ms. Risa Taneda arrived very early." Yasuhiro Takemoto paused and said casually.

"I always arrive on time and am never affected by the diligence or laziness of my colleagues. Your suggestions from a leadership perspective have no effect on me." Yin Ze sneered.

"..." This response was something Takemoto Yasuhiro had not expected.

Yin Ze walked in and saw the girl reading a novel in the lounge area outside the recording room. The two of them greeted each other and nodded. After all, they had some friendship, so there was no need to be polite and distant like strangers.

"Oh, you also bought watermelons?" Risa Taneda's eyes were equally sharp, and she exclaimed.

"Why, you want to eat?" Yin Ze tilted his head.

"Summer wouldn't be complete without eating watermelon," said Risa Taneda seriously.

"Well, if you're really that greedy, then cut it while it's fresh." Yin Ze said generously without much hesitation. The girl had given a lot of books to the welfare home before, and she hadn't thanked them materially yet.

"It looks like there are melons to eat here." Yasuhiro Takemoto walked over slowly with his hands behind his back and a kind look on his face.

"You?" Yin Ze hesitated to speak.

"Director, try it too." Taneda Risa said cheerfully, "You took such good care of us when we were recording Hyouka before, so of course I have to involve you when something good happens."

Yasuhiro Takemoto nodded in satisfaction and approval.

"Looks like there are melons to eat here~" A completely unexpected man also walked over slowly.

"You?!" Yin Ze hesitated to speak.

"Why are you so surprised? Didn't I say 'goodbye'?" Shimazaki Nobunaga's expression at this moment was exactly the same mysterious smile he had when they parted not long ago. It was the temperament of a villain seeing a planner.

"Why are you here?"

Yin Ze thought for a few seconds and was immediately shocked.

"You followed me all the way here just to eat some melons, and even postponed your afternoon work?!"

"Hmph, let me introduce myself. I'm Shimazaki Nobunaga from Aoji Agency, and I'm the voice actor for the supporting actor Naze Hiroomi in 'Beyond the Boundary'. Thank you for your guidance." The Demon King of the Sixth Heaven said calmly.

"Is this true?" Yin Ze couldn't adapt quickly.

"Of course it's true." Yasuhiro Takemoto replied.

"..."

The occasion is now.

The three of them were all staring at themselves and the melons in their hands.

hiss--

Master Yin felt very stressed.

Chapter 161: The Melancholy of the Demons

With one cut, the watermelon snapped with a sound, and it split into several pieces. The cool air spread out, and the bright red flesh jumped into the eyes, even the eyes were cool.

Risa Taneda gave priority to others, especially the cute little girl with two pigtails.
