Tokyo Sound

"Then how did you answer?" Yin Ze asked anxiously.

Haha, what else can I say? Kashiwa Ippei smiled with a fake smile. The information is all here, so of course I am speaking against my conscience.

"Yiping, I want to kiss you hard." Yin Ze pounced on her eagerly, opened his bloody mouth and started biting her.

"What are you doing? Get off me!" Kashiwa Ippei struggled hard.

Saori Ōnishi held her third bottle of calcium milk and sighed at the tangled playing house.

It’s not about anything else, but this movie “Blood Sucker”, in which she also wants to star and join in the noise among the elementary school students.

Chapter 179: The Thoughts of the Alien

Shinjuku Recording Studio.

"I didn't expect you to be a loyal fan of the original work." The producer sighed as he looked at the handsome voice actor. "You have so many jobs, but you still find time to read light novels. With such time management, it's no wonder you have achieved such impressive results at such a young age. It's amazing."

"Just kidding, old fan!" The man held the book of "Bloodthirst" in his hand all the time. His reluctant look made people believe in his sincerity and love. He smiled heartily, "Forgive my abruptness, I don't know the result of my audition..."

"There is no problem with the acting, and everyone is very satisfied. The threshold for the original role is not particularly high." The producer nodded with satisfaction, "It will be hard to record it later."

"Oh, it's not hard, not hard. It is our responsibility to make the animation industry more brilliant." Yin Ze was excited, his thoughts were clear, and he did what he wanted. He smiled playfully, and his mouth was grinning from ear to ear.

"I heard from your agent that you are also thinking of taking this opportunity to release a character single and debut as a singer?" the producer suddenly changed the subject and asked.

"Is there such a thing?" Yin Ze's expression changed to confusion, "How come I don't know about it."

"Hmm, maybe I misheard." The producer thought for a moment, "I also heard that in the work "Beyond the Boundary", you are not only the voice actor, but also the animation supervisor of a single episode, and you also drew some of the fighting scenes. The main theme of our animation is super-powered battles, so if you are interested, you can definitely go to the production site to take a look."

"I have a general understanding of Silver Chain's situation. There are also capable people there." Yin Ze sighed, "To be honest, there is a big misunderstanding about me. I can be a supervisor because of the favor of Kyoto Animation's staff. I know that different trades are like different worlds. I can only draw lines. Kyoto Animation is more familiar to me, so I can relax a little. But if I go to Silver Chain, ah, I really don't dare to step into the work place casually, it will cause trouble."

"Well, that makes sense." The producer thought for a while, "Since the animation has a date, the related broadcasts must also be scheduled. I wonder if you can be the host? Haha, this Silver Spring Platform can be considered your old battlefield."

"Permanently, there might be conflicts in schedules." Yin Ze stroked his chin, "The producer also knows that I have dabbled in many fields, and they all require time."

The animator paused, took a step back, and looked at someone in silence.

"Please rest assured, although I am busy, I will definitely give 1000% of my passion to perform in the anime." Yin Zezhen said.

"Of course I believe it. After all, this is the voice actor's job..." the producer said hesitantly.

"If there are any promotional activities, live broadcasts, or offline fan meetings, just let me know, and I will never refuse." Yin Ze then said forcefully, "After all, a main role cannot back down."

"Haha, we will definitely plan it carefully. Cultural and creative staff can have no bad intentions. They all want to present beauty and happiness to the audience." The producer finally relaxed a little.

"mutual encouragement."

"mutual encouragement."

The two men shook hands enthusiastically, as if they had just concluded a big deal.

It’s a real win-win situation.

The producer left with a full heart. Originally, their idea was to recruit a young, low-paid, and popular voice actor, but now they have recruited a superstar with the best cost-effectiveness, which perfectly meets their expectations. Although I sent an invitation to IM, I didn't have much hope at first.

It's just that this male voice actor is too eye-catching.

Since the voice actor industry started the idolization wave, many talents have emerged. In addition to being excellent voice actors, these people are also capable in other fields, such as singing, stage plays, etc. After all, voice actors are behind-the-scenes jobs, and if they want to gain more exposure and popularity, it is inevitable to involve other work.

The hierarchy of the entertainment industry is still very clear. If we don’t count traditional arts such as Kabuki, Noh, and Rakugo, regular actors and talented singers are of course the first level, followed by entertainers, who are divided into announcement entertainers and comedians. Both have relatively few works and rely on running around in various variety shows as their main business. Next is the classic big basket that contains everything, idols, which are divided into above-ground idols and underground idols. The former can still make a living relatively easily, while the latter have a worrying living environment. Even selling "hug tickets" is normal. Generally speaking, they will transform into actors or singers after their blooming period. The last is the photo model who simply sells her body.

...The positioning of voice actors is rather vague and awkward. On the one hand, they are considered artists, and on the other hand, they are behind-the-scenes professionals whose work ranges from animation, games, voice acting, and TV narration, which are not the same track at all.

It's really hard to compare, but when you really have to compare, such as taking photos on the red carpet or seating at events, you have to give way. So it's hard to say. Plus, other popular artists often come to dub, which gives the illusion of sinking, making it even more vague.

Of course, there are exceptions to everything, and there are big names in every industry.

The status of a national-level comedian can only be high, not low. Ultimately, it all depends on whether one has the strength and ability. Breaking through the circle and rising to the top is a natural thing.

So far, there has not been a true breakthrough in the voice actor industry.

It's normal to think about it. If you want more exposure, you have to do something in another field, whether it's singing or acting. But the problem is that in those fields, there are already a group of people who work day and night to achieve their goals. How can you beat others in their main field and get results with your side job?

With this kind of talent, wouldn't it be better to devote yourself to acting and singing as early as possible?

Anime is a signature package of Japan's cultural industry, and the corresponding voice actor industry will not be too small, and will grow and develop, but the market is not that big, and the upper limit of being a voice actor is visible. This is the deformity of voice actors becoming idols. Under the wave, the treatment of voice actors has indeed been improved, but it is absolutely difficult to hatch a representative of the wave, almost impossible.

——Until the unprofessional outlier "Takizawa Satoru" appeared.

Because, precisely, "not doing one's proper job" is the only right way to reach the top under "abnormality".

That person first achieved both talent and appearance. In addition to his image, his dubbing skills were also outstanding among the young and middle-aged generation. Then he made a cameo appearance as an animation supervisor, which was actually okay. Although it was very weird, it was still within the animation field.

The key change was his participation in "Ronin Kenshin". His first movie was a big hit, and his first film and television role was also a big hit. He was even selected by film newspapers as the most promising new actor, ranking third. Film critics praised his natural performance and talent, and directors also mentioned him many times in interviews, with many flattering words...

Therefore, it was completely normal that the animation production team did not have any expectations at first.

This is a man who will make history in the industry sooner or later. His time is precious, and every step he takes may affect his career plan. In fact, if you take a quick look at his resume, it is not difficult to find that most of the works he has participated in since his debut are well-made and worth revisiting, rather than assembly line routines.

What does this mean? It means that on the first day of work, he was already telling his agent to pick a script. This is the self-knowledge and foresight of a "strong man".

So when he contacted his agent Kashiwa Ippei, he only mentioned it briefly, but didn't invite him. Anyway, whether it was a supporting role or a minor role, at least, Takizawa Satoru had never voiced a harem show!

This may be the bottom line of artistic pursuit, who knows.

The agent Kashiwa Ippei did reply, saying, "Your statement makes me feel extremely complicated, and I am at a loss as to what to do. But I do feel your sincerity, and I will tell you the truth... I believe you will have a bright future."

Well, very standard workplace courtesy and polite remarks.

Just when I thought I had turned the page.

The supernova held the original light novel, and with great joy and honor, he hugged the producer tightly with enthusiasm, as if he were a brother who had been separated for thirty years and was unable to push him away.

"To be honest, I'm a long-time fan of this book, I've been following it since the first volume. Please let me act no matter what, I'll do anything!" Chaoxin's words were full of strong emotions. As for the light novel in front of her chest, it was still in very new condition, and it didn't match the self-narration that she read twice every night, but that was not a problem.

If you like it so much, you might buy two or three sets, one for reading, one for collection, and one for your bookshelf. This is a very normal thing among otakus, nothing surprising.

So I happily took part in the audition, and the result was very good. I was worthy of being the number one of the new generation, and there was no problem with my acting skills.

As the saying goes, human hearts are greedy. After the unexpected surprise, the producer had another idea and wanted to ask if there was any intention to release peripheral products for the single.

The supernova, who had been patting his chest like a gorilla before, immediately declined.

Hmm. I was too abrupt. Anyway, we have already cooperated, so we can talk about it slowly later.

The producer turned away, still feeling very impressed. They impressed the rising star and unlocked the achievement of this person's first harem show!

at the same time.

Yin Ze also turned around and left, still ecstatic in his heart. He persevered through hardships and finally succeeded in getting his first harem series!

……

old.

My long time.

My long-cherished wish has finally come true.

"Hehehehe~" The man stroked the pages of the book as if he was stroking his lover, and once he got what he wanted, he laughed cunningly and greasyly like a street scoundrel who got peerless martial arts, and it seemed that he would soon rely on martial arts to bully men and women.

"Senior, your smile is so creepy." Ohnishi Saori couldn't help but say. She didn't know how her facial features could be twisted into an evil vulture face. "A main role, for a senior, it's not unusual, right?"

"Did my intentions get exposed?" Yin Ze thought to himself and tried hard to control his spirit.

"Hey, your current state gives me a sense of déjà vu." said Matsuoka Yoshitsugu.

"For example?" Yin Ze asked.

"Before Sugo Nobuyuki revealed his true face, he was such a modest gentleman." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu said simply while peeling melon seeds, "Of course, I just said it casually. I know that the role is not the same as the actor."

"?"

"Haha, an old man once said that children with bright minds can always see through disguises. Maybe, honest people have a pair of eyes that can see through the truth." Kashiwa Ippei smiled in a stereotyped way, "On the contrary, some people who have been in society for a long time are blinded. Including myself."

Yin Ze frowned, reached out forcefully, and snatched the bottle of AD calcium milk.

The agent whose food was taken away shrugged in dismay, not daring to act rashly in front of the hybrid that looked like half bull and half dragon. He turned around and stood up to get a new one.

"Since it is a saying passed down by the older generation, it must have some basis." Shimazaki Nobunaga nodded.

"How come you, an outsider, are here? This is the public rest area of ​​our office." Yin Ze said with a squint.

"I came to Yoyogi to do something. The weather is so hot, so I came in to rest for a while." Shimazaki Nobunaga said, "Besides, how can I be an outsider? A few days ago, you and Matsuoka even asked me to drink heavily, saying that your friendship is stronger than gold."

"Hmph." Yin Ze only responded with a snort.

"What does this mean? Have you forgotten the oath of Peach Garden?" Shimazaki Nobunaga asked with trembling fingers.

"Ahaha, let's not talk about the past." Yin Ze chuckled.

"Okay, okay, in that case, I won't be an eyesore anymore." Shimazaki Nobunaga waved his hand and left the sofa in a haughty manner.

"By the way, what are you doing in Yoyogi?" asked Matsuoka Yoshitsugu.

"My friend asked me to go to a bookstore." Shimazaki Nobunaga said casually, "After all, I'm writing, so I should pay attention to the works on the market."

Matsuoka Yoshitsugu and Yin Ze couldn't help but look at each other, and their expressions were meaningful.

"Since you are reading with friends, you should at least find a cafe to rest and talk about creation. I have a Feimei membership card. You can use the discount and treat others to some ice cream and cake. Remember, don't be stingy." Yin Ze suddenly became gentle and took out a gray-red card from his wallet.

"Does this card expire today? I'll take it out at the counter and I'll renew it for you." This really confused Shimazaki Nobunaga, and he subconsciously frowned and asked back.

"Am I that kind of person?" Yin Ze was a little annoyed. "I got this card during a promotion. It was hot and I was lazy, so I didn't go there many times. It's obviously a bargain for you."

"…Then thank you in advance." Shimazaki Nobunaga took the card, but still checked it over and over again with suspicion.

"Is that friend of yours also a novelist?" Matsuoka Yoshitsugu was peeling melon seeds absentmindedly.

"Yes, a colleague from Lightning Bunko." Shimazaki Nobunaga replied.

"Wow..." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu made an ambiguous sound and then said, "Besides creation, what else do you talk about?"

"It's just normal communication. Why do you ask this?" Shimazaki Nobunaga was puzzled.

"It's okay, I'm just asking." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu coughed twice, "Aren't we good friends? You've made new friends, and I was thinking if we could hang out together someday."

"Oh, about that, I guess not. Others are not good at drinking. They are not the same kind of people as you two, especially with that wine jar." Shimazaki Nobunaga said with disdain.

"Hey, when we go out, we're not just going to have fun. We can also go to the amusement park to ride the Ferris wheel and the carousel." Yin Ze continued.

"Yes, yes." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu nodded repeatedly.

"The amusement park...is not bad." Shimazaki Nobunaga lowered his head, as if thinking about something.

"Okay, if you have something to do, just go over there quickly. Don't keep others waiting for you." Yin Ze urged.

"Yes, yes." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu nodded again and again.

"Are you hiding something from me?" Shimazaki Nobunaga felt something was wrong.

"Are you hiding something from us?" Yin Ze and Matsuoka Yoshitsugu asked in unison.

"No, no, definitely not. Okay, I'm leaving now." Shimazaki Nobunaga looked away, hummed a tune and walked away quickly.

Yin Ze and Matsuoka Yoshitsugu both hushed slightly towards the door.

"So what's going on?" Saori Ōnishi asked curiously while holding the water bottle and sipping from the straw.

"It can't be said. It can't be said." Yin Ze shook his head.

"Mr. Shimazaki Nobunaga went out to play with girls, right?" Ōnishi Saori said shockingly.

"How do you know?" Matsuoka Yoshitsugu was as honest as ever and immediately gave his confirmation in the form of a question.

"Oh, I guessed it from the way you two were making faces." Ōnishi Saori shook her head. It was definitely just elementary school boys teasing each other.

"Nobunaga is at least good-looking and an interesting person, which is normal," Yin Zerui commented.

"What about Senior Matsuoka?" Ohnishi Saori asked with great interest. The warlords' war map in her mind had been shattered, so she was not as cautious as before.

"Girls in Tokyo are all very strong. I don't want to think about them for now. Maybe I will go back to my hometown to get married in the future." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu said hesitantly.

"Hey, what about the voice actor job?"

"Take it and live with me. To do this, I have to work hard and save money to buy a house."

"Very good. The most important thing in marriage is mutual respect. A gentle and responsible type like you should have a harmonious family life in the future." Yin Ze praised, "I'm also curious about who will spend the rest of your life with you."

"What about you, senior?" Saori Ōnishi turned around and asked.

"Me? I'm single now?" Yin Ze shook his head.

"You won't be single in the future, will you?" Ōnishi Saori was sure.

"I haven't thought that far for now. My priority is to win the Best Voice Actor Award, quickly improve my association level, and fully enjoy the current anime." Yin Ze smiled sinisterly again and stroked the light novel that carried his wishes.
