Tokyo Sound

"He was born in a commoner family, and he is both civil and military, honest and incorruptible, and he is deeply trusted by the people. When he patrols the streets on official business, he always arouses cheers from the people, and his handsome and intellectual appearance can touch the hearts of many girls. But he usually wears a mask and his true face cannot be seen."

Well.

The man read on in depth. After more than ten minutes, the enamel cup was placed on the table tremblingly, and his expression became serious.

……

The sequel to Legacy was announced a few years ago, but the release date was never in sight, which made a lot of old fans wait for it. Finally, the company announced the news again, and the first thing they announced was the specific information of the game and the animation. When they heard the new theme song and the familiar singing, the old fans put down their machetes and shed tears.

The main body of the game has entered the final stage, and the dubbing work is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Compared to weekly updated anime series, the time for game recording is of course much more flexible. It is not necessary for everyone to be present. Separate or individual recordings are both feasible, but the sound supervisor needs to control it more carefully.

Master Yin auditioned as scheduled, and was finally recognized for his solid tone control and wide vocal range, and joined the long-awaited sequel. For him, this success is no less than his successful application for Fate/Zero and becoming a talented double-gunner.

So the next day I excitedly rode my big horse to work.

He has done animation, voice acting, and narration, and has acted in two movies, but not many games. Kantai Collection and Final Fantasy 14 may seem like heavyweights, but his position in these two projects is that of a player incarnate. Although he is the absolute top star, most of the time he is just a nodding machine and a mute, with only a few lines.

Final Fantasy 14 is okay. In addition to CG, there are some official secondary creations and things to talk about.

The fleet collection has become really quiet, and even because the interesting stories of the Thunder Bluff Garrison have become famous, most of the players' understanding of the official admiral comes from the imagination of the voice actor. So in various painters and forums, the admiral's head is generally a T-shaped model, while the official admiral is a striking big bull's head!

Men simply can't resist this kind of well-reasoned secondary creation. They once used the picture as their account profile picture for two weeks, until they were blocked at a summer event and got so angry that they changed it.

It's quite strange when I think about it carefully. As a former original artist who switched to voice acting, why is it that the game voice acting has the least?

"It's true that TV animation pays the least, but it's also the best choice to increase my fame. Even now, some people still call me Hiroshi."

Outside the recording room, a middle-aged man was sitting in the lounge area chatting. He took off his sunglasses and was casually wiping the lenses with the corner of his clothes.

"How old is Guangzhi?" Yin Ze asked.

"35 years old, oh, when I was dubbing the role, I was not even as old as him, but now he calls me brother. Time is unforgiving. Actually, there is nothing else, but people always mistakenly think that I have smelly feet like Nohara Hiroshi... Don't casually associate the character with the voice actor, that guy's smelly feet are already a biological weapon!" The uncle complained. His voice is steady, with the kind of low and magnetic unique to handsome middle-aged men, and there is a hint of frivolity at the end.

"Yes, yes." Yin Ze, who is still haunted by the ghost of Yeluan Sword King, agrees. "But I never thought that you would play Hake (Xiaobai) in this film."

“Hehe, even though I have a beer belly, I can still play the role of a young man.” The uncle said with interest.

This is Keiji Fujiwara, a talented voice actor of the older generation. His most well-known representative role is Hiroshi Nohara, Shin-chan's father in "Crayon Shin-chan", who is said to be invincible even when he takes off his shoes.

The two had worked together on the blowing set of a film and television drama before, and had also had a few drinks together with the crew members.

There are many disadvantages of drinking culture, but drinking can indeed quickly narrow the distance between strangers. Yin Ze was born in the foggy city of the mountain city. The first dish at the night stalls there is drinking games and finger-guessing games. He has a basic foundation. Later, he got the corridor of life and immediately reached the top of the mountain. He had no rivals. The only grandfather who threatened him was Qianye Zhensui, who happened to give up drinking and keep healthy. In short, he has an undefeated record so far.

Young people have strong business skills, are good at drinking and talking, know how to deal with things, and know the limits. After a few contacts, they naturally get along with each other and become more harmonious, without too much sense of workplace rules. In fact, Yin Ze's reputation in the industry is steadily improving, which is not without the contribution of these old predecessors who mentioned it verbally when chatting with others.

Judging from the portrait of the protagonist of the sequel with drooping shoulders and a pure and innocent face, the first impression should be laziness, useless and traditional gentleness.

Yin Ze originally envisioned a younger voice. To be more exaggerated, it is not impossible for a heroic female voice actor to play the role. In short, he would not immediately consider the senior who is known for his uncle's acting style as a reference.

But when I heard the voice sample, I suddenly felt that he was the only one.

The unreliable, lazy voice that seems to be a little greedy. The voice that is nervous and trembling when in danger, but concerned about its companions. The voice that has been through hardships, swallowed the pain, and is as solid as a rock.

These subtle changes, the control of techniques and emotions, before looking at the CV, who can be sure that this gentle, honest and cute protagonist and Mr. Hiroshi Nohara who has to pay off a 35% mortgage are the same voice actor.

Yin Ze analyzed and asked himself this question seriously. He thought that even if he overclocked the Corridor of Life, he would not be able to stand out in the competition for the main role.

The other party's performance in this role is really excellent.

These voice actors born in the 60s and 70s who have much less exposure than the new generation and are truly behind the scenes are very powerful.

"There's really no time to rest in this era," said Fujiwara Keiji. "When we were young, it wasn't too late to debut in our 30s. Many people worked in theater troupes and then changed careers. But now, young voice actors are working before they even graduate from middle school. The pressure is getting greater and greater."

"Yes." Yin Ze agreed. After all, he knew quite a few middle school voice actors.

"The pace of replacement will get faster and faster. I have to say it's really cruel." Fujiwara Keiji encouraged, "You have to work hard too."

"I will definitely balance my work and rest time to ensure my endurance." Yin Ze nodded vigorously.

After chatting for a while, Fujiwara Keiji left.

Everyone’s schedule is different, and for a project of the length of a game, it’s normal for the collection to be split up.

Yin Ze secretly clenched his fists, determined to give his best. He plunged into the recording studio and began to recite the lines step by step. The efficiency and feedback correction speed surprised the sound supervisor. After recording for several hours, it was finally the sound supervisor who took the initiative to ask for a break and let out some fresh air, so he stopped.

Next to the vending machine, Yin Ze gulped down the mineral water. Then he thought of a question.

The male lead is voiced by Fujiwara-senpai.

So what about the heroine?

Could she also be an experienced and intellectual elder sister?

Throw empty bottles in the trash.

"Oh my, the guy standing there, could it be the new sixth-place winner of the 'Most Ideal Brother' ranking in NylonJapan last week?"

A familiar voice suddenly spoke in a half-joking tone.

Yin Ze turned around and saw the person clearly. He couldn't help but snort and responded, "Could this person who called me be the one who also won the sixth place in the 'Most Popular Female Voice Actor' ranking on N station last month?"

"Why did you go to see that?" Risa Taneda was a little caught off guard and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"It was recommended on my homepage, and there were acquaintances in the thumbnail, so I naturally clicked in to read the sharp comments." Yin Ze nodded, then asked curiously, "Why are you here?"

"I'm here to work." Taneda Risa cleared her throat and said in a boastful tone, "I'm the heroine."

"What? It turns out that you are playing the role of 'Jiuyuan'?!" Yin Ze was shocked.

"Why are you reacting so strongly? Is there something that doesn't suit your taste?" Risa Taneda asked back with a frown.

"No, mainly..."

Yin Ze reviewed what he saw in the Staff information and said with emotion.

"Jiuyuan, that's the woman who can be my nanny."

"??"

Chapter 200 The Unstable White Dragon

Yin Ze spread out a stack of game information and looked at the page with the heroine's picture drawn on it with deep affection.

She has long black hair, a slim figure, and is full of energy even when she wears a simple, rustic pharmacist travel outfit. She has a cute, pink face, focused eyes, and ears and tail that sometimes stand up and sometimes droop. She looks delicate, but she actually has the blood of a liberator, and can easily kick a giant wild boar away.

How could a man not be moved with tears in his eyes by a woman who possesses the affection of a young girl, the protection of a shrew, and the doting of a mother?

"Could it be that the beast girl's attribute is a white cat? I really want to gently pull her hair aside and take a closer look at the growth pattern of the cat ears. And the tail, it should be connected to the coccyx of the spine, which is a little above the buttocks... Although I received Soviet art training, I have only memorized the facial structure and head-to-body proportions. I am still not as good as medical students in deeper anatomy. There are some sophisticated designers in the industry who can design the skeleton of a creature. What do you think?" Yin Ze took a close look at the heroine's portrait, and at the same time humbly asked for the opinions of others.

"...My opinion is that it feels a little perverted for some reason." Risa Taneda didn't say she was disgusted, she just answered very honestly.

"What does a serious discussion of art design have to do with perversion?" Yin Ze frowned. "Artistic images such as orcs, demihumans, centaurs, goblins, and minotaurs have a long history and shine in various works. These are all precious creative products. We should treat them more carefully to fill the void of virtual illusions."

Paintings in the classical period also served as records, but were later given more meanings and became an extension of the mind and consciousness. But painting is also a technique of visual deception.

"Smart painters will use 'white space'. The simplest example is that if fingers are too difficult to draw, then they will cover them with long sleeves, or put them behind the back. In short, the audience has to imagine the hand movements," said Yin Ze.

"This is just a simple matter of playing to one's strengths and avoiding one's weaknesses and immersing oneself in one's comfort zone," Risa Taneda complained.

"Similarly, when drawing sub-humans, if there are animal ears, they are basically covered with medium-length hair, so the structure of the ears can be fooled. Whether it is binaural or quadratic is left for the audience to guess."

Yin Ze spoke to himself in a deep voice.

"But as the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility. Solving the problems of the general public and exploring the future of the industry are the responsibilities of masters like me. If the strong choose to escape and watch the show, then who will raise the flag of war? I am eager to see Jiuyuan's detailed three-view drawing, body data, and detailed explanation of sub-human characteristics in the subsequent materials. And if Leaf Company is not capable enough and cannot solve the problem of sub-human biology, then I will have to join the battle myself!"

"I feel like the perverted aura has become a little stronger." Risa Taneda commented after being silent for two seconds.

"I've explained it so clearly, are you deliberately finding fault? Do you want to understand Jiuyuan better?" Yin Ze was a little annoyed.

"But all you know about physical matters—" Risa Taneda gave him a look of contempt.

The elites are always treated with suspicion and criticism by mediocre people, simply because their topics are too advanced.

Demihuman Biology: Beast-eared Girls.

It sounds like a difficult art design, which can only be studied by painters who have broken the curse realm. As a half-step master, Master Yin is the best candidate for this project. Unlike the master's and doctoral assignments in graduate school, he has a great passion for this project. He immediately started the Corridor of Life, wrote a plan and put it in the memo.

"By the way, you're not a resident of 'that side', are you?" Risa Taneda said like a doctor caring about her patient.

"What do you mean?" Yin Ze was puzzled.

"It's the kind that only has feelings for virtual characters..." Risa Taneda asked worriedly.

"After all these years, you are the only one who said this." Yin Ze, who has been mistaken for a popular celebrity and criticized for many years, was very emotional. "Don't worry, if this is true, I won't repost swimsuit photos so often."

"I actually forgot about this." Taneda Risa held her forehead with her hand, "It turns out that I just played it all."

“?” Yin Ze.

"But since you've liked her for so long, I wonder what you think of her CV?" Risa Taneda asked seriously, folding her hands.

"Uh." Yin Ze was speechless.

"What's wrong? You had a lot to say to Tatee just now, but now you're at a loss for words?" Risa Taneda opened her eyes wide.

"Of course it's great... The main thing is, don't you feel awkward? We have known each other for a long time and have acted opposite each other so many times. We are so familiar with each other. Why do you still want me to praise you in person now?" Yin Ze scratched his head.

"Hmph, you haven't even heard my dubbing yet, and you're already saying yes. Isn't that just a polite remark?" Risa Taneda shook her head.

"Haha, talented voice actors all know how to train their imagination. Especially for game recordings, they often can't get everyone together, so they have to record alone and act in the void. We have rich experience in cooperation, and I can completely imagine your long-term." Yin Ze said something reliable in an unreliable way.

"Oh~ I see. Then from another perspective, can you imagine other people playing the role of Kuon?" Risa Taneda drawled out, as if something had suddenly dawned on her.

"You can understand it that way." Yin Ze nodded mysteriously.

"Compared to the colleagues you are familiar with, what position do I hold among them?" Risa Taneda said bluntly.

Yin Ze was stunned, thinking, is there such a cross-border void competition? What Holy Grail War?

"How is it?" Risa Taneda asked calmly.

"Hmm..." Yin Ze really thought about it in his mind, and then concluded, "You are still the most suitable."

"Is this true?" Risa Taneda leaned forward slightly.

"Really, really." Yin Ze repeated.

Regardless of the emotional aspect, purely in terms of suitability, it is really good for her to play the role of Jiuyuan.

Although I have heard the girl's voice many times, especially in various collaborations, I have felt all kinds of voices, whether they are quiet, soft, inferior, or shy.

But when I think of her lively and cheerful cry of "Huck", I feel that it must be her.

"The Inheritance" is one of the few works that Yin Ze feels has perfect CVs for both the male and female protagonists.

"Since you said so, I can rest assured." Taneda Risa raised her eyebrows, feeling at ease, "After all, you seldom lie. Well, I won't chat with you anymore, I have to go to work too. You can leave work if you want."

When Yin Ze heard this, his expression changed slightly.

Imagination training has its limitations after all, and there is still no satisfaction in actually hearing the finished product.

Seeing the girl walk into the recording studio, the man also knocked on the door of the sound supervisor's workbench with his hands behind his back. Good relationships mean being easy to talk to. The sound supervisor didn't care about someone's small request at all. He took a headset and told him to sit anywhere as long as he didn't mess with the equipment.

Yin Ze then put on headphones, huddled behind the sound monitor, and looked at the recording room through the glass.

It was the first time for me to look at my colleagues at work from this perspective, and I found it somewhat novel.

Risa Taneda was standing in front of the microphone, holding the script in one hand, and was still preparing. But at a glance she noticed a sneaky shadow behind the workbench. She was stunned for a moment, then rolled her eyes and raised her right hand like a child to grab the air as a greeting.

The sound supervisor gave instructions as per usual practice.

The scene was as quiet as a windless lake.

Risa Taneda adjusted her breathing, opened her mouth silently, and spoke calmly.

"Shizuoka visits the world of Shizuoka...~"

"すべての时をstopめ梦りにつく."

"Who is the star of the sky?"

"It's my wish."

Yin Ze paused completely, this was completely beyond his expectations.

Because that clear voice was not narrating lines, but flowing out of singing.

"A world without color, quietly visiting"

"All the still times are sleeping soundly"

"Everyone has looked up to the stars in the sky"

"Make a small wish"
