2Oh, you're back now, and you remember to bring something for your colleagues. Your growth is obvious." Jianqi Jingxiang approved and took the initiative to take the plastic bag.

"Where is my stand-in?" Kashiwai Ippei asked seriously.

"He said he was out on business." Kenki Kyoka tore open the potato chips package.

"I see. When will you be back?" Kashiwai Ippei asked again.

"He told me in advance that if you come back first, then he doesn't have to come back." Jianqi Jingxiang started flipping the drinks again, and her words sounded like prose sentences. "Oh, so now I have to write him a letter."

"How ridiculous! You are so naive! Do you think I will agree to let you inform him?" Kashiwa Ippei snorted coldly. Nielong must have guessed that he would speed up his return trip because of the movie.

"It's ridiculous. Why should I listen to you? After all, he gave me a custom-made bracelet." Kenqi Kyoka snorted.

"What a coincidence! I can give you another one of the same kind." Kashiwa Ippei reached behind his back and pulled out the familiar handmade item like a magic trick. He smiled smugly, expecting the other party to scold Nielong for being hypocritical.

"Oh, it turns out you were the one who taught him this trick. It's true that birds of a feather flock together. It's true that he is a heartless person. It's true that he is a treacherous hound!" Kenki Kyoka started to criticize him directly to his face.

"This is a misunderstanding, I'm a good person..." Kashiwa Ippei rolled his eyes and was speechless. It seemed like he hadn't felt wronged by being slandered for a long time. Because taking the blame for the evil dragon was the worst, and there was a sense of shame that his IQ was inferior to others.

"truth?"

"truth."

"I was wrong about you. To express my apology, I'll treat you to a meal." Kenqi Kyoka's face changed instantly and she said seriously.

Kashiwa Ippei was stunned. He thought that maybe it was Mercury retrograde today, why did it seem like there were ambushes everywhere?

"Let's go to Longmianting." said Kenqi Kyoka.

"That's fine." Kashiwa Ippei immediately obeyed. As long as he could have such an expensive meal, the ambush didn't matter.

"By the way, I also want to hear about the period you drew for yourself." Kenqi Kyoka smiled and paused, "It seems that Shizuhashi Eri has woken up."

"Yes." Kashiwai Ippei answered much more easily than before.

"Then tell me about your trip to Shizuoka." Kenki Kyoka folded her hands and added, not really necessary, "Anyway, I'm the only old friend here who can listen to you."

"Well, there's no problem." Kashiwa Ippei nodded.

The past has left the long cold night, and every day will usher in the green morning. Now looking back on the past, he no longer feels heavy in his heart, but feels fortunate. The foolish justice he expressed filled the drowsiness in his heart before the rising sun.

It’s great that I don’t regret anything when I look at myself in the mirror.

……

Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo.

Yin Ze, who was on a business trip, was playing games. Don't get me wrong, to be precise, he was experiencing and testing games at the ATLUS headquarters. He was holding a controller, controlling a masked man in a black windbreaker to run around in the maze, or controlling a cool boy to run around in the block, and occasionally expressing his thoughts.

"The model can be improved. The perspective rotation here is a bit uncomfortable."

"You can give me some guidance. I feel like it's a bit cumbersome to run back and forth to solve this puzzle."

"Give us more chances to save the game before the date option, and it will feel better. Players will also be grateful to the producer."

The developers next to them also said a few words from time to time, creating a harmonious R&D scene.

Master Yin came to ATLUS today to discuss his order for Persona 5 offline. Since he is also a game expert, a popular anchor, and a million-recipient, he was also invited to play the game internally to get a taste of it in advance.

Apart from anything else, this game perfectly interprets the coolness of the second year of middle school, and even the UI is so cool. It has been a few years since I have seen such a good quality Japanese RPG. Maybe it will be a masterpiece that will conquer the world.

"Is the cutscene still a draft?" Yin Ze asked. As a voice actor, he has been watching these stickman storyboards in the recording studio for many years and is used to it.

"We plan to hand this over to ProductionIG." Makoto Soejima, who is in charge of character design and controls the overall style of the work, nodded.

"The protagonist has very few lines. Most of them are interjections," said Yin Ze.

"For a sense of immersion." replied Seiki Soejima.

"With such a small text, why don't you let me help you?" Yin Ze laughed and changed the subject.

Soejima Seiki was silent. Although he had followed this person's smurf account a few years ago, and was in the same art exchange group as him, and knew that he was a voice actor, he still felt a little nervous when he really met him. Of course, he still said, "I will help you get promoted internally and put your voice acting intention up."

"Okay, thank you very much." Yin Ze looked through the character design again. Seeing so many beautiful girls with dating plots, the personality mask called Dark Fear in his heart roared in victory. Once you experience the fierceness of the killing method of talent without morality and release your desire, it will be difficult to turn back.

The developers in the marketing department next to them saw this scene and thought they had made a profit. Team leader Fudao was really powerful. With just one sentence, he called well-known figures in the industry to work, and they worked hard. After the work was done, they even thanked the team leader.

This is connections!

After the meeting, Yin Ze walked out. During the meeting, he met many enthusiastic employees who asked for autographs. As a first-line artist, he is liked by some young people in the industry, not to mention the super popular voice actor and the new actor with a little breakout buff.

At present, the otaku culture circle is under a comprehensive and all-round attack, and few can resist it.

Yin Ze was actually a little tearful about this. He was finally asked for an autograph again... so he stayed for half an hour before leaving the company building happily.

"The Woodpecker and the Rain" is still being screened in small numbers, and the box office will definitely not be too high. The director will be happy enough to earn back the low-cost investment.

To be honest, the person who benefited the most from this film must be Yin Ze himself. First of all, he was officially recognized as an actor because of this film. Because he was only a minor role and a supporting role before, as a well-known voice actor, the audience and the mainstream entertainment industry also thought that he might just try to cross over, and he would not really change his job or even work part-time.

Now that I have a complete work, and the performance I have contributed is objectively worthy of praise, even if I still have doubts about the professional identity of the actor, I can't pretend to be blind to his ability as an actor. Whether he has a role or not, whether he is good or not, this can be seen at a glance.

For the voice acting industry, this news is quite heavy and can be said to be shocking.

From a realistic perspective, there are many successful voice actors who have switched from drama and film to voice acting, but there are no reverse examples. Although the competition among voice actors is fierce, the competition in the mainstream entertainment industry is even more formidable. Compared with the voice actor industry, which has only developed rapidly in recent years, the traditional entertainment industry is a near-perfect interpretation of what is the world of fame and fortune. There are countless dreams and desires gathered there, and there are too many illusions. Every year, countless people rush in and leave.

In recent years, voice actors have become more glamorous as a profession. In the idolization environment, they can also be singers, participate in idol projects, publish photo albums, record programs, guest star in TV dramas, etc. But in the past, voice actors would be criticized and looked down upon for just singing and releasing albums, especially in the singing industry, where they were considered to be not doing their job properly and just trying to get votes without any real talent.

Since the late 1970s, with the booming development of the animation industry, a large number of dramas have been released, books and magazines have been sold, and voice actors have also carried out public activities for publicity, released records, held concerts, and even performed in martial arts halls. They have been active in many aspects of multimedia, adapting to the times while also relying on their hard work to gradually give back to the industry, which has led to the current prosperity and recognition from the general public.

But I have never heard of anyone who, with voice actor as his primary identity, becomes the leading actor in a movie, and in a regular crew, acting with Kanji Yakusho.

Some people win the main award once and are crowned the best actor. Yakusho Kanji is simply the best actor and no longer needs awards to prove it. Among the active actors, his status is one of the highest. The movie he starred in in 97 won the Palme d'Or.

...It seems that King of Sunglasses also won the Best Director award that year.

All these factors make it seem like someone's starring role is fake news. Now, every step he takes in the film and television industry is considered to be breaking history for the voice actor industry. Although this sounds illogical and it sounds strange to create history across industries, it is the fact.

Is it just like when voice actors were opposed to becoming singers, many seniors gradually changed their prejudices. And now, is this guy going to open the door to selecting actors? If he succeeds, it doesn't matter if the juniors are equally good, but at least someone has opened the door, which will have a huge impact on the entire industry.

Urgent! Urgent!

Other firms are eagerly waiting to know IM’s next strategic plan!

But no one knows.

In fact, the president of IM is even more anxious! Masao Eda himself is also eager to know what Kashiwai Ippei's next strategic plan will be!

Even though I had already decided not to ask about the arrangements of the top agent and to give him the greatest freedom, I couldn't help asking now.

The dilemma of an industry is closely related.

The animation industry is overworked and the industry is often ruined. Some production companies may sound well-known, but they may still be losing money. If the young voice actors who voice the animations are not doing well, does that mean the agencies are doing well?

The most direct difference between traditional artists and voice actors is mainly determined by the agencies, and for the agencies, the difference is the entire industry. How can a mere voice actor agency be compared with a large artist company? The entire voice actor industry is so small, and this little power is simply insignificant in front of the giant media.

Due to the guild's hierarchical system, voice actors are paid according to their level regardless of their popularity. Take Matsuoka Yoshitsugu as an example. He is hardworking and popular, but he only gets a fixed salary for his animation work that matches his current level. He doesn't negotiate with others about his remuneration. It's just that he gets more work because he is popular.

One billion yen may be the annual income of a big star, but it is not much different from the total annual revenue of a large voice actor agency. In the eyes of the public, the giant companies in the voice actor industry are just small and medium-sized enterprises. An agency can be stable with one popular artist, but an agency with multiple voice actors holding popular leading roles may fall into a business crisis, and more than one or two have gone bankrupt.

You can't earn very much just by doing animation work.

It's not a very lucrative job, and all the difference comes from the income.

Someone is now a real pillar of the station. In addition to his real popularity, he has also taken on many large-scale game projects. There is no limit to the hierarchy when co-ordinating games, and you can negotiate on remuneration, which is often the beginning of making money. Even because of the outrageous and weird relationship between someone and the third development department, the agency has more cooperation with AQUARE ENIX.

Just like Saori Onishi, she was new to the industry and had no job yet, but she was taken to a meal in a daze, and Yoshida Tomoki happened to be there, so she got a role in the subsequent updates of FF14. It was considered as entering the planning, and if there were any activities, she might have a chance to participate, which would be a little income. This kind of treatment is like a nanny in a fairy tale.

In addition, being a narrator is also a major source of income. It is also not restricted by the hierarchy and will not become outdated due to age. It is a very valuable job.

Finally, there are institutions such as affiliated training schools... Training is the last frontier. On the one hand, the voice actor profession is portrayed as beautiful and sunny, and a large number of students are recruited for a fee, with advertisements saying that anyone can become a voice actor. But the actual situation is completely the opposite.

The reason why Masao Eda respected Kashiwa Ippei so much was because this elite used to be in charge of advertising, and was a person that TV stations and artists would actively come to make friends with. Although he fell into a white suit, he was still an elite and his skills were still there.

As a result, I found out that Kashiwa Ippei had already gone to Shizuoka, and all the trivial matters were pushed to the son of destiny who would open up the future of the industry. Masao Eda certainly knew how glorious the former Dentsu department head was, and he had seen many big and small scenes. But would this be too free?

From now on, all leave approvals for this person must be sent to my office and signed in person!

"I know you must have unique plans, and I won't interfere. I also know that Kashiwai has a lot of connections, but if you need help, don't hold it in. The agency will do its best to support you." Masao Eda finally found the child of destiny himself.

"Well, for now... how about raising the benefits of the firm a little bit, or adding more free cup noodles or drinking water. Some juniors don't have any jobs yet, but they have to show up at the company, and their working hours are cut. Those who are financially tight will go hungry." Yin Ze thought for a while and said. He spent his free time in the company, and saw many juniors who were not doing well, and it was also a sudden thought.

The income from part-time jobs in Tokyo is good, and high school students can save enough money to buy things by working hard.

But for people from other places, the rent alone is quite high, and without a stable source of income, it is difficult to rely solely on working.

"That's fine." Masao Eda said. It's not a big expense. First of all, there are newcomers who have difficulty making ends meet, but it's impossible for them to be that many, not to mention that there are only a few voice actors entering the institute every year. Secondly, only newcomers who are really short of money would need it, just to fill their stomachs. Ordinary people wouldn't want to take advantage of such a small profit. So it's a feasible and positive action.

"Thank you, President." Yin Ze said.

"You and Kashiwai...ah. Anyway, if you remember anything, just discuss it with me." Masao Eda sighed.

Chapter 25 Want Me to Eat Them

Yin Ze's account gained another wave of fans, and more passers-by clicked to follow. Since the small account is not often in operation, it just reposts with the masters every day and praises each other, so the data is average. Yes, even if they are all aesthetic masters who have opened the power of the seven virtues, they will still praise and praise others crazily, and then work hard secretly.

Although Master Yin doesn't set up a persona, his fans are increasing... He is embarrassed to post photos of young girls in cool swimsuits frequently. After all, he is a semi-public figure and should be aware of the impact. But he never expected that after he cleaned up his account, he began to receive @ messages from other people every day. When he clicked on them, he found that some of the latest updates were photo release information and preview pictures.

What does this mean?

Why do these passers-by @ me in the comment section of the photo?

Could it be that netizens feel deeply loved in the past and now want to give back to the best of their ability?

There is true love on the Internet, it brings tears to my eyes.

After returning, Kashiwa Ippei kept silent about the letter and wanted to continue fishing for dragons, but he came back empty-handed. He had no choice but to go back to his workstation to work.

Xiaobailong calculated everything, just right.

Kensuke Kensuke is definitely a traitor. Instead of relying on her to report the news, it would be better to let Ayane go to the office and see if her agent is there.

Haha, as expected.

Yin Ze is currently unemployed at home. It's strange that he feels fulfilled when he's slacking off, but when he's really free, he doesn't want to slack off. But at this point in time, he really has nothing to do. He has very few animation dubbing jobs this quarter, and he can record a lot of narration at once, which will be finished in a few days. The movie has also been released, and the game outsourcing has also been completed. Suddenly, he feels quiet.

After thinking it over, I decided to call my agent.

"Just say what you want to say." Kashiwai Ippei refused any meaningless communication.

"Is there anything you can assign to me?" Yin Ze asked.

"Then you underestimate my current mailbox. Come over quickly." Kashiwai Ippei was secretly happy.

"Haha, no." The man laughed and ignored it. The feeling of simply resting and resting after putting things off is immediately different. Sometimes, life just needs a sense of ritual.

The agent's angry shouting stopped abruptly as he hung up the phone.

Yin Ze easily turned on the computer and played Last Fist 5, but he lost 200 points. His face was gloomy. As the saying goes, when the wind is favorable, the master is invincible; when the wind is unfavorable, the master is invincible; when the wind is unfavorable, the life is in a corridor of despair. Is it so easy for me to encounter despair when playing high-end games? Can I not win without overclocking?

"The Prince of Groceries - Itabashi Moto: You are weak, you are very weak. Look at your main players. Don't let me see you in the arcade during the fierce battle night. If I see you, I will definitely shave your head bald."

"Invincible Master: I'm going to the arcade and you're definitely going to have a hard time. Remember this."

"The Prince of Groceries·Itabashi Moto: Come on, come on, who's afraid of who?"

Yin Ze's fighting spirit was beating violently. He immediately turned off the computer, stood up, grabbed his coat, and rushed out. He went downstairs, started the big horse, and drove away. The whole set of actions was as fast as lightning. Asamiya Xiangyue, who was cleaning the community, didn't even have time to say "please bring a bottle of light soy sauce". The motorcycle disappeared.

……

Jin Shandao was wiping the machine with a cloth and humming a little tune. The tall and thin student next to him followed suit and poured the right amount of detergent. When they heard footsteps coming over, they said in a business-like manner, "Sorry, we will be done soon. Please wait a moment."

"It's really not easy to find you." It was obviously a girl's voice.

Jin Shandao paused for a moment, did not answer, and continued working.

The tall and thin student inevitably stopped, tilted his head and pricked up his ears.

"Why are you here?" Jin Shandao seemed to be completely absorbed in cleaning, without even turning his head back.

"Meet a friend."

"Just call via mobile phone, it's not worth the trouble to go all the way here."

"I'm in college, studying my favorite major," said the girl.

"Really?" Jin Shandao turned around in surprise. He saw a girl holding a motorcycle helmet and wearing a female motorcycle suit. Her face was the same as he remembered, with shoulder-length hair and a plain face. It was as monotonous as an outdated painting.

"Grades can be improved through hard work. Can't I pass the exam?" the girl snorted.

"You, why did you come here by bike? It's so dangerous. What if you fall on the road?" Jin Shandao frowned again, "I shouldn't have brought you along."
