Tokyo Sound

"Listen, I played a game of poker with the gods, betting that everyone was my wings. Later, the gods won, and my youth paid for my life..."

"Oh my God, you actually fell in love with your own child. You are simply a beast." Yin Ze accused harshly.

"You are an illustrator, and their images are also drawn by you. Each one is infused with our blood. You are like their mother, so if you become the protagonist, aren't you also a beast?" Shimazaki Nobunaga was speechless.

"Why am I not a father?" Yin Ze was displeased.

"…Your focus is really weird." Shimazaki Nobunaga was confused.

"Who of you is a father?" A surprised female voice sounded.

"He." Shimazaki Nobunaga pointed to the side without delay, "He wants to be."

"Oh, considering the pace of life of young people nowadays, this is really rare. Have you had enough fun so soon and want to settle down?" asked Risa Taneda.

"You misunderstood." Yin Ze was about to explain.

"Isn't it?" Shimazaki Nobunaga triggered the first attack. "Besides, when we were playing Monopoly before, we even thought of a name for our child. Maybe we've already thought about it."

"Yeah, come to think of it, he does like children quite a bit." Risa Taneda agreed.

"Haha, I'm going to the bathroom first." Shimazaki Nobunaga stood up after saying that, without any hesitation, and it seemed as if he had been holding it in for a long time.

It's really hard for him, he has to hold back and talk to himself about who is the beast.

"From a practical point of view, you should at least move to a house that can accommodate two people." Taneda Risa sat down beside him like a military advisor, "It's okay to rent a house, but you have to consider the location and the schools nearby."

"You actually didn't listen to anything, you just wanted to tease me." Yin Ze saw through it.

"The early bird catches the worm. It's normal to prepare for a rainy day. If you don't think about it now, you will still worry about it in the future." Taneda Risa said with a smile, "Aren't I giving you a shot of prevention?"

"Oh, urging you to get married is too old-fashioned. Has your mental state already reached that of an old lady?" Yin Ze said dangerous words.

"Tsk, staying forever young is just the wishful thinking of mortals. People like you who only live in the present will often have to pay for your current arrogance and excess in the future." Risa Taneda snorted.

"Wrong, I still play games when I'm eighty years old." Yin Ze asserted with great confidence. When he enters Aincrad in full stealth, he will teach Matsuoka what a real Daoguang brother is.

"I agree with that..." Risa Taneda thought for a moment, "Last week, you seemed to have revealed the so-called secret? That's too much. Now there's one less piece of gossip that only I know about."

"It's not a secret, it's just that I haven't told it before, so there's an illusion that it's a secret. And you're not the only one who knows it." Yin Ze said with relief.

"Hmm? Does anyone else know?"

"That's a lot."

"Haha, isn't that a lie?"

"You just think so unilaterally!"

"But I saw that you were having a lot of fun on stage." Taneda Risa confirmed, "Can this kind of performance-oriented personality also be used in the broadcast of this drama? The legendary comedian whose first radio drama made it to the hot list of the Yinquan platform?"

“Actually, I’m an actor.”

Yin Ze said deeply.

"You have to know that as an actor, I cannot overuse my own qualities. If I frequently appear in variety shows, broadcasts, and events, then the audience will feel out of place when watching my performance. This is very, very stupid behavior, and it is equivalent to killing the life of my career."

"I've only played a supporting role in my acting career so far, what's the point of seeking fame and reputation?" Risa Taneda broke through the armor with one sword.

"The same goes for voice actors." Yin Ze waved his hand. "Moreover, people behind the scenes who are exposed too much have a greater impact than actors. I have always been known for my diverse voice. You can see that my career pursuit is to be diverse for each person. I don't want to be limited to a certain label. I can be on literary and artistic anime, fantasy anime, and harem anime. This is proof."

"Well said, very insightful. So how do you evaluate the fact that you, as a voice actor, still act in movies and appear on the big screen? How do you explain the contradiction in your theory?" Risa Taneda attacked with two critical strikes.

“……” The man realized that he had gotten himself into trouble and fell silent.

It was all that damned agent's fault! He had caused the cracks in my slacking theory that I had been using for years!

At the same time, in the firm's office.

"Kashiwai, I know you used to be Dentsu's Employee of the Year, a workplace elite with extensive connections. We have a good relationship, and you've been very successful in your work at the agency, and all the voice actors you've coached are top-notch. But what did I do wrong to make you prejudiced against me?" the president said with a sigh.

"..." Kashiwa Ippei was speechless. He suddenly felt that the same words he said to someone else were also extremely applicable.

It's all that damn little white dragon's fault! He made me confused!

"Ms. Zhongtian said that I only had a supporting role, which is biased." Yin Ze, an old Internet debater, did not refute the whole argument, but instead singled out a small loophole, "I also starred in another movie. And because of the work, I appeared in the role in the script. How can it be compared with broadcasting?"

"Little Forest?" asked Risa Taneda.

"How do you know that?" Yin Ze was annoyed.

"Of course, you even posted a business trip document on your Moments a while ago. Who doesn't know that?" Taneda Risa said, "Don't worry, as a friend, I will still support you."

“That might be a bit troublesome because it’s a low-budget niche film and will only be shown in certain places. I don’t know if there’s one in Tokyo,” Yin Ze said.

"It doesn't matter. You wouldn't go to see it anyway if it was available." Taneda Risa shrugged. "I didn't see you go even though Ronin Kenshin was so popular before."

"How can you insult someone's innocence out of thin air?" Yin Ze's eyes widened.

"Hahaha, give up. You have few secrets from me." Risa Taneda said proudly.

"Who is your spy?" Yin Ze frowned. This is a very serious question, which means there are bad people around.

"That's not the case. I'm just too familiar with you, so I made a few conclusions and predictions." Taneda Risa couldn't help but sigh, "You are too bad at hiding... or you have no intention of hiding, so isn't it easy for people to see through it?"

"It's time to start recording the second half." came the voice of the sound director.

The male and female protagonists had to stop bickering and project themselves into the traditional male protagonist who was not good at speaking and the cute junior who blamed his predecessor in every way.

what.

Why am I the only one who seems to be weakened?

……

In summer, you can see the most vivid sunset. The setting sun goes into the mountains, casting its light on the crowd. Steel and concrete seem to be coated with gold and stand tall like monuments of civilization. The sunset is the end of a day, a red fire that is about to go out, while the years made up of flames are the white of frost.

The setting sun is the opposite of the rising sun, another kind of romance.

And uncles tend to prefer dusk.

Yin Ze walked out of the convenience store and ate a meat bun while leaning against the big foreign horse.

The phone rang, and he held the meat bun in his mouth, freed his hands and rummaged in his pockets.

"Hello, are you busy?" Sakura Ayane's voice came.

"No." Yin Ze said.

"Yeah... I guess so."

"What's the matter?"

"My mother and I went back to my grandfather's house to help with some paperwork. Then he asked about you and insisted that I call him... Okay, I'll give you the phone." Sakura Ayane couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the old man next to her, so she simply handed over the phone.

"My friend, it's me. How have you been recently? Have you been exercising regularly?" Chiba Jinsui's loud voice came.

"Oh, it's grandpa. Hello, hello. How's your quitting drinking going?" Yin Ze wanted to ask about his health, but when he recalled the powerful figure carrying the pig that looked like a devil, he shut up.

"Haha, a real man, of course he means what he says. Ever since that incident with you, I've started drinking fruit juice instead. I grow and squeeze it myself, it's all natural. Come back and try it when you have time. I still miss your fried peanuts!"

"Okay, okay, if you tell me, I'll definitely come over when I'm free."

"By the way, I heard that you've made a breakthrough in your career recently and starred in a new movie, and the content of the movie is exactly about farm life. It seems that we are really destined to be together. I will definitely go to see it when the time comes." Chiba Jinsui said.

"No need to bother..."

"Of course I should. Of course I should. And I'm a senior in the film and television industry. I have a lot of experience in breaking Apple boxes. I can definitely help you." Chiba Jinsui said generously.

"You are restless all day long. Others are performing arts. Who wants to learn from you and jump into the box from the third floor?" Grandma's voice came faintly.

"What are you talking about? I think you have the talent to be an action actor. No one knows how to protect themselves on the set better than an action actor." Chiba Jinsui defended.

"Don't monopolize the children's phone. They have their own things to say. Why are you snatching it?" said the grandmother in a reproachful manner.

Another quarrel between an old couple.

There seems to be a fantasy scene of grabbing ears.

"Hey. Grandpa was urged to stir-fry twice-cooked pork." Sakura Ayane said again.

"I envy you for being able to eat twice-cooked pork." Yin Ze thought of the delicious enchantment of the wood stove, and suddenly felt that the meat bun in his hand was not fragrant anymore.

"Grandpa really likes you. He sounds so happy. Even dad can't compare to you." Sakura Ayane muttered.

"There's really no need to compare my uncle with me." Yin Ze sighed subconsciously.

"?"

"Oh, what I mean is, this is probably the relationship between grandparents. So, what do you have to tell me?" Yin Ze pulled it back stiffly.

"Oh... oh, that's it. Well, it's nothing serious. One, grandpa asked me to bring you some local specialties, and the other is that I just wanted to chat." Sakura Ayane said in a low voice. One can imagine her lowering her head and tugging at the corner of her clothes.

"Hey, Ayane went back to her hometown and actually missed me and called me specially." Yin Ze pretended to be surprised.

"What are you talking about! And I just said that it was Grandpa who asked me to call you. I just wanted to contact you through the chat app." Sakura Ayane explained unsmoothly, pausing for a while, "Before, it seems that you sent out your smurf account?"

"um, yes."

"It's obviously a secret that only I know."

"...Why do you all think so?" Yin Ze frowned.

"You guys?" Sakura Ayane also frowned.

"Nothing, just keep talking."

"I feel that when I asked you before, you always said, 'It's not time to tell you yet.'" Sakura Ayane said slowly, "Now it seems that you should have less worries in your heart, right?"

"Yeah, that's right. I should thank you a lot too." Yin Ze nodded.

"What I mean is, did I help you?" Sakura Ayane asked again.

"Of course, we are the first ones to know each other." Yin Ze said as a matter of course.

"Hehe." The girl made a happy sound, "I will go to the movies too. When I come back, we can work on the same set."

"Row."

Yin Ze put away his phone and glanced at the city dyed golden.

In those days when it is so quiet that only your breathing can be heard, you understand that loneliness is an indispensable part of life.

I won’t eat out alone today. Let’s go upstairs and have a free meal.

Yin Ze pushed the motorcycle and slowly headed back home.

Chapter 190 Otherwise, you will be in trouble

Although Japanese films are becoming increasingly sluggish, they at least had a glorious golden age.

In the 1950s, if ordinary people fell in love with a movie, they could buy it with their own money. Later, they wanted to let everyone see it, but there was no channel to show it, so they simply built a small cinema themselves.

This is probably the origin of local independent cinemas.

The old independent cinemas that have survived to this day are both distributors and screeners. Unlike the complex cinemas in shopping malls, their scale, business direction, and film scheduling preferences are all influenced by the personal aesthetics and preferences of the store owners. For regular customers with the same characteristics, it is like a familiar bar, where they go not for a drink but to enjoy themselves there.

There are two types of literary life in Tokyo. The fashionable type, represented by Blue Bottle Coffee, where you can easily take a photo and it will be an Instagram beauty. The retro type, represented by old-fashioned coffee shops, full of vintage clothes and old book streets, and where you can repeatedly appreciate old movies in famous painting shops.

...All of the above have nothing to do with Master Yin, because he is a chaotic person. His cell phone ringtone is a classic song of the era, but he only searches for new photo idols; he plays the leading role in art films, but he only watches the harem animation he dubbed late at night.

There is no doubt that this is unqualified for a literary young man.

If he hadn't been able to draw a few pictures and had studied literature at the University of Tokyo, he would have been just an ordinary uncle in reserve, and even mentally he was already an uncle.

Feeling grateful for his own mediocrity, Yin Ze decided to drive to an independent cinema in Musashino City today to watch the movies he has starred in, using acting to gain insight into his life and give back to others.

In order to ensure the elegance of the trip, he even went to Sakura's residence in advance and borrowed the Mercedes-AMG S65 from his uncle who had just woken up with a toothbrush in his mouth and foam all over his mouth.

"Since you are borrowing the car from me, there is no reason for me to be stingy. You can take the key, but the gas is running low. If you are going far, remember to refuel in advance." Sakura Eiji said as he reached into the collar of his panda pajamas and scratched himself.

"But in this case, uncle will be without a mount, right?" Yin Ze asked.

"It's okay, I have another one." Sakura Eiji said casually, "It's a good change of taste."

"No wonder he is so generous, it turns out he has another good rider hidden away." Yin Ze sighed.

"Haha, no need to be envious. With your abilities, you will definitely be able to inherit my ambition in the future."

Sakura Eiji put his hands on his hips and searched for eggs in the refrigerator to make the only fried egg dish he was proud of. His wife and children had gone back to their parents' home, so he had to fend for himself. He only heard the middle-aged man say something as if he had another idea.

"By the way, why did you borrow the car, are you going out with someone?"

"To be honest, I want to go to the movies with someone." Yin Ze confessed.

"There is such a thing." Sakura Eiji was chopping green onions with a kitchen knife in his hand. "Who is this person?"
