Tokyo Sound

Could it be that the top students from Tokyo University have some other hidden meaning?

As I was thinking, the four actors of "The Woodpecker and the Rain" had already stood on the main stage, and began to accept photos and chat with the host of the conference.

The young man stood there with his hands behind his back. The stones looked like jade, the pines looked like emerald green, and he was so beautiful and charming that it was hard to find another like him.

I don’t know how many innocent girls who were watching the ceremony on TV were deceived.

Okita Shuji and Yakusho Kanji expressed their thoughts one after another, and the producer also talked about the movie itself in a proper manner. Since the first three people had already said their thoughts, I can only praise the event itself.

"Roppongi Hills is a shopping mall with many cinemas, coffee shops, and of course delicious restaurants. Even if you don't often participate in similar activities, you can still enjoy it. I think this is a film festival with a strong sense of life, which is good. Art certainly has its own threshold and is different from the niche and the masses, but it is art that belongs to the people. If you only want to divide the audience into different levels and rob the social wealth, then art will become extremely ugly. Starting from today, the next few days here will be quite lively. I hope everyone can come and have fun and experience the fun of movies. The Tokyo International Film Festival awaits your visit."

Mizuno Nagaharu woke up from his confusion and heard that pleasant and ear-tickling sound again.

Good! Very charming!

The chicken drumstick just now was just a joke.

In a large event like this, there are panoramic cameras and microphones everywhere. Every detail of the participants' appearance, clothing, words and deeds will be magnified by the camera. For a voice actor who is a professional behind the scenes, it is a challenge to be so openly exposed to the public.

However, the performance of the young people was just like that of veterans in the big scene, and they were able to handle it with ease. Thinking about the previous answer again, it is a good interpretation that vulgarity cannot be so elegant, and elegance cannot be so vulgar.

Mizuno Nagaharu nodded secretly. How could such a genius be just a voice actor? He must make a drastic transformation and star in movies with depth to showcase his abilities.

"Brother Dong: The director knows how to appreciate it and gave it a close-up. So cool!"

"Kong Ming of Heisei: The train has regulations that inflammable and explosive items cannot be taken on board, so the eldest brother can only leave sadly, because he is so handsome!"

"Grand Commander of Dongwu: What do you mean by straight male aesthetics? Are you a big blogger?"

"Urban Strange Phlegm: What's Ah Wei's brilliant idea?"

"Grand Commander of Eastern Wu: Sweeping the hall and setting aside the pillows and mats, the young master is so elegant!"

"Brother Dong: Keio's international students have something. Some people just want to have fun."

"Heisei's Kong Ming:?"

It is foreseeable that the frequency of viewers’ online searches for a certain person will increase significantly in the future.

The four actors left the main stage and went to the red carpet on the other side to sign autographs and interact with each other. The director and producer did not do anything, but the two male actors were very busy, signing autographs, shaking hands and taking photos.

"Brother, I've been your fan for ten years." A beautiful young lady waved.

"Okay, okay." Master Yin showed his full skill. For every signature he made, in addition to writing, he also drew a few Q-version portraits. To be honest, the master's Q-version sketches were much smoother than signing.

Some of them are players of the national series Final Fantasy, and upon request, they drew the pig head of the Green Pig Knight.

Hee, my strong aesthetics are really spreading in the player community. High-end players all regard green pigs and black stockings as the mainstream clothing of strong people.

The Austrian boyfriend was awarded the limited edition autograph and blessing message from the film festival, and collected the green pig head, which came with a bull head. It can be said to be a rare collection for a single promoter. After the news was sent to the group, all the group members were jealous. The replies seemed normal, but in fact the hands were shaking when typing.

Finally, I completed the process at the venue.

"Then what?" Yin Ze asked.

"There are other groups that haven't finished yet, but for us, the opening ceremony is almost over." The producer said, "The next few days are up to you, and there will be an awards ceremony at the end, and then everything is over."

"No dinner?" Yin Ze was surprised.

"You're not full yet?" the producer was shocked.

"I think it would be a shame if so many people came here and didn't have a meal." Yin Ze said. Big brother is hungry, what's wrong with eating something?

“Haha, I think you just want to enjoy this high-end feeling more.” The producer sneered.

"Facts aside, it's not surprising that I want to spend more time with everyone since this is my first time participating in Tepco's work," said Shuji Okita.

Still putting it aside and not talking about it! The producer was angry. Just now, that guy faced more than a hundred cameras, and he was so skilled that it didn't seem like it was his first time. What a joke, he is obviously a regular customer!

"Let's have a meal in Roppongi tonight. There will be a movie showing there. If you are interested, you can stay and have fun." Yakusho Kanji stretched his body. As he got older, he could not resist fatigue as well as before.

"Then let's do whatever we want and gather at the company at 7pm," suggested Shuji Okita.

The four of them had no objection and decided to separate for the time being and do whatever they wanted. Okita Shuji and the producer, who were in charge of production, naturally had to act together. Yakusho Kanji went to chat with old friends in the venue. Yin Ze felt that it was a rare opportunity, and since he was here, he had to take a full tour and see the excitement.

After leaving the main stage, most people were wandering around the exhibition hall in Roppongi Hills. The previous complaints about the slow serving of the organizers were just a joke. How could the largest international film festival in Asia lack a place for reception and rest? Film crews from the UK, France, Iran, Greece, and Azerbaijan all came. If it is not done well, it will be a loss of reputation.

Master Yin, as always, walked around the streets with his hands behind his back like an old cadre. Although there was no overclocking, the suit that Uncle had carefully built was quite powerful, and many difficulties could often be solved by recharging. Although the old posture remained the same, a Rolex was added to the wrist behind his back, which was the best way to cope with changes.

Natsume Kenzo also came to the main venue and was hanging out and chatting with several executives from associations and companies. Although they were not as good-looking as celebrities, when they got together, they exuded a strong presence.

When the brothers saw each other, they didn't come closer, but just nodded to each other from a distance.

Yin Ze continued to walk alone, occasionally stopping to listen to music, and when the hired small orchestra finished playing a piece, he nodded slightly and clapped gently to express his appreciation. As a result, he was attracted by a piece of music, but he didn't know where the piece came from, and he felt that asking for the name of the piece in such an artistic occasion would make him look unrefined compared to others, so he quietly opened the corridor and planned to record it and search it after returning home.

Another song ended, and the man smiled and clapped. The girl playing the piano blushed slightly under the gaze, and shyly smiled back. She didn't think he was an actor, but thought he looked so noble and understood classical music, so he must be from a wealthy family.

He has a new actor who plays minor roles in two of the three movies. Few people would know him outside the voice actor circle. But with his appearance, he has to be an elite monster to start with. In addition, the only producer who can see through the demon's painted skin technique is not here today, so the demon's power is unstoppable.

Without even knowing it, Master Yin pretended to be a rich young man, received some flirtatious glances, and then ran off to another exhibition venue.

During the film festival, offline activities for various works will also be held, like voice actor meet-and-greets, on-site interviews and conversations. Of course, the star status and economic effects cannot be compared.

It is worth mentioning that this year's exhibition also held a solo exhibition for the famous animator Hideaki Anno, which can be seen as a summary of his career. The entire exhibition was set up in the National Art Center, Tokyo, and the Roppongi side focused on his representative works, yes, the well-known EVA.

Now, the new theatrical versions of the series have been released, including the prologue, the final part, and the final part. With such a large-scale project, the next animated film must have also begun production.

As a voice actor, it’s only authentic to come here.

Animators’ exhibitions require drawings. Yin Ze came to the place full of design papers and immediately felt like a fish in water.

Anno Hideaki has too many labels. Even in his generation full of masters, he is still a great figure. Especially, he will definitely get rewards if he wants to do something. It can be said that no one can match him. 30 years old is probably a watershed. Before that, he had "Peak Flight" and "Mystery of the Blue Sapphire". From the age of 35, it seems that only EVA is left.

The pain and torture of creation are unavoidable for people in every industry. Even a strong person like Hayao Miyazaki often complains while painting that it is too troublesome and he doesn't want to do it.

It’s just that this torture is more obvious in EVA’s supervisor.

At that time, "Princess Mononoke" called for "keep on living", and the poster of "Air/My True Love to You" released at the same time read "So it would be better if everyone died", which shocked the hearts of otakus.

In fact, “now only EVA is left” also means “EVA was created in that era”.

As a series that has lasted for a quarter of a century, it has influenced so many things, including the system of late-night animation broadcasts, the production committee model, the multimediaization of works, and even Akihabara, which has evolved from an electronics town to an otaku culture electronics town.

There seem to be very few things that allow you to overlap your life and the audience's life into one work.

Twenty years is enough to replace a generation. Supervisors, producers, and the audience's moods and thoughts will all change with time, so even if Ikari Shinji is still fourteen years old, he is still fourteen years old twenty years later.

Life is a grand practice.

Yin Ze sighed as he walked past the walls filled with manuscripts. The last wall was for interaction, with fans' signatures and messages. He also took a public pen to write a "I was here" or something, but the tip of the pen hit the wallpaper, and the words turned into a drawing, sketching half of the classic purple long-legged robot, the car, and fortunately the pilot was also filled in.

Ten minutes later, the man nodded with satisfaction, put down the official pen, and walked away with his hands behind his back.

A long time passed until the sky darkened.

A man wearing glasses, a suit, slightly curly hair, and looking unimpressive walked over. He turned his head to look at the wallpaper, and on the left side of the dense text group, the ultimate universal humanoid decisive battle weapon and the simple middle school boy leaned against each other, leaning against each other like a loving person.

Chapter 36 Blind

After the super busy opening ceremony, Yin Ze just stayed at home, but he didn't stay at home completely. For example, when Brother Bai Jing called and asked him what he was doing, he replied that he was busy at the film festival. Brother Bai Jing was unable to ask any further questions and could not arrange any tasks for him.

There aren't many opportunities like this to stand on the top of the business and fish steadily. You have to know that in the past, even if you exceeded the target and became a superstar in the outsourcing company, the company would not let you work in vain. Working so fast? Very good! Send more orders! If you can maintain the form of a SuperWorker, your salary...it is not impossible to increase your salary.

Master Yin eventually became a sophisticated social animal, understanding the essence of the flexible working system, and was good at symbolic overtime work, taking advantage of the 8pm noodles, and then using the excuse of working overtime until 9pm to allow late clocking in at work the next day. After reaching the monthly order limit, he began to slow down, crawling forward while listening to crosstalk. In this way, he outlasted two seniors, two colleagues, and a chief artist. Hahahaha, it is finally my turn to use the chief artist's dual-screen computer to play World of Warcraft during lunch break!

Alas, the man sighed and turned over in his bed.

I haven’t been too lazy to cook these days, so when I’m hungry I just go upstairs and knock on the door.

Many people are curious about Yin Ze's schedule these days. They wonder if he is chatting and laughing with a famous director, if he ran into Dongbao's leading actress, or if he has something in common with a beautiful girl who is going through the painful period of transitioning from an idol to an actor. It can only be said that true fans always have a way to get a glimpse of it. For example, someone was shocked to find that during the film festival, someone's Yunxiao King ranking unexpectedly rose by three places. What's going on? !

Yin Ze has been following the progress of Persona 5 and Sekiro these days, and has handed in some outsourcing for the Corridor of Life. Nito Makoto hasn't given up yet and has sent another invitation. Makoto thinks highly of me, so why not go to the production team first.

However, the executive director of AQUARE ENIX made a rare phone call.

"Today, animation is no longer as glorious as it once was. The problems buried in the previous industrial structure have become old problems that are slowly becoming apparent. Live-action movies have fallen even more sharply, the domestic market is shrinking, and it is difficult for films to go overseas. To be honest, when it comes to the influence of entertainment, we still have to rely on world-class game companies like us," said Tomoki Yoshida.

"That makes sense." Yin Ze still recognized the game development level of the Japanese company. "As the old saying goes, Ren Kongtang is the master of the world."

"Don't just think that every year there are a few everyday movies full of emotions, which are youthful, profound and meaningful. This just shows that we no longer have the industrial capacity and it is difficult to make other types of films. To be honest, many industrial designers have joined the game industry, so who will make live-action movies? Be pragmatic and support the industry first. If we continue like this, let alone box office success, we will lose to South Korea in terms of artistry, and then to India, Thailand and Vietnam. In the end, no one will lose. How do you explain this to the old fans who grew up watching Kurosawa Akira?" said Tomoki Yoshida.

"That makes sense." Yin Ze still agreed, "But why are you saying this? What does it have to do with me?"

"Oh, that's right, this movie has nothing to do with you!" Yoshida Tomoki laughed, "I will push forward the project of Final Fantasy 16 as soon as possible. You must come to the affairs department when the time comes. This is an agreement between men!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Yin Ze looked at his phone and tilted his head in confusion. Why did he feel that Yoshida-kun was trying to win a victory with his mind?

However, it’s time for dinner, so let’s go upstairs to eat.

A few days later, it was the closing ceremony of the Tokyo Film Festival. Just like last time, Yin Ze rode his big horse to the entertainment company in Roppongi, carrying a coat bag.

The producer stepped into the room again and saw Dark Star combing his hair again.

"You..." Yin Ze just said.

"I'm fine, my stomach doesn't hurt, and I don't need toilet paper." The producer replied immediately.

"Our tacit understanding is growing day by day, and we have all learned to answer questions quickly." Yin Ze praised.

"Haha." The producer laughed dryly twice.

Soon, Yakusho Kanji and Okita Shuji also arrived. Last time, they took a bus to the venue with the crew, but today there was a closing ceremony and an awards ceremony, so as long as the representatives were present, it would be fine. So the director drove here specifically for convenience.

"Mazda!" Yin Ze couldn't help but speak out when he saw the white Angksela at the door.

"What's wrong?" As the owner of the car, Shuji Okita was curious.

"No. I have a driver's license. Can I drive?" Yin Ze smiled reservedly. As the chief of the Tauren, it was reasonable for him to like driving other people's cars. "I have the lowest seniority among those present. How dare I ask the director to be my driver?"

"You are thoughtful." Okita Shuji was happy, "Rather, my family car is not worthy of you two popular actors."

"It's just a means of transportation." Yakusho Kanji waved his hand.

"Hurry up and take your seat. I'll drive." Yin Ze was eager to drive, especially since this was a Mazda that enjoyed a certain reputation in the industry.

The driver's skills were beyond doubt, and he arrived at the venue smoothly. Due to his experience, he gave the accelerator every time, which was very comfortable. The passengers had no bumps and felt very good, which could even be compared with the executive driver who drove the Maybach to take them to the red carpet a few days ago.

"I'll go park the car." Yin Ze said after they got out of the car.

"He's a guy who becomes more interesting the more I get to know him." Yakusho Kanji nodded.

"Yeah." Okita Shuji said, and glanced at the producer out of habit, "Hey, why aren't you talking today?"

"Because I've let it go." The producer closed his eyes, like a hero falling into the darkness after unloading the heavy burden of justice.

……

The closing ceremony was unremarkable, but it was star-studded. After all, it was the most important award ceremony of the film festival. The stars that we usually only see on TV and in entertainment news were all dressed up very appropriately. Not only local actors, but also foreign actors were present, which fully demonstrated the level of an international A-level film festival. Everyone sat in the seats off the stage, and there were many staff members carrying cameras around, recording the closing of this year's film festival.

"I suddenly got nervous." Okita Shuji smiled bitterly, "I said I wanted to learn more about the world, but when the time came, I was fantasizing about winning some awards."

"Artists need to have a little confidence in themselves." Yin Ze comforted, "Who knows, you might actually win a golden unicorn."

"It's difficult. There is no shortage of good films among the nominated films. I do have some judgment," said Shuji Okita.

"Yes, there are indeed many good films this year." Yakusho Kanji also said, "The Intouchables from France is a very charming film. It is clearly a comedy, but it is inexplicably touching and has rich meanings. It is suitable for men, women, young and old. I even think it can be called a phenomenal work. In addition, there is also the American film Androgynous, which is also very interesting."

"That Swedish director, Ruben Östlund, is something." The producer continued, "Although I can't say in detail what's so great about him, my first impression is that he is something."

"You just sit there." Yin Ze complained.

"In fact, there are too many criteria for evaluating a good movie," said Kanji Yakusho softly, "but for the audience, it's actually not complicated. Good works have echoes. As the credits at the end of the film rise, the audience seems to walk out of the story, and there will be a little emptiness in their hearts, and a sense of loss, as if they have lost something, and they still want to continue to watch the stories of the movie characters beside them."

"Although our film "Woodpecker and Rain" was made on a low budget and the plot did not have a shocking reversal, I have heard audiences discuss that they hope young directors can go back to the mountain village and chat with the lumberjacks again with a smile." Yakusho Kanji said, "So how can you say that this is not a complete and interesting movie?"

"That's right," Yin Ze said, "What the creator has to overcome is his yesterday self. I believe the director has more inspiration."

"If I have any follow-up plans, I will call you again." Okita Shuji said a little seriously.

"If there's anything I can do to help, I'll do my best to help." Yin Ze has always been a man of great righteousness.

For a moment, the atmosphere here was considered to be quite relaxed among the crew.

As the host of the conference came on stage, the award ceremony officially began.

The first awards are the less core ones, such as the Audience Favorite Award, the Best Artistic Contribution Award in the Competition Unit, etc. The Tokyo International Film Festival is relatively conservative in its award list. Apart from the traditional top prizes such as Best Picture and Best Actor, it does not set up many detailed awards, such as photography, costumes, music, etc.

Yin Ze was at the scene and was bragging to others, so he might not feel it, but to people outside the TV screen, this venue was very high-end. The TV station had a special program to broadcast it, and the two hosts would talk to each other to fill in the blank time when the award ceremony was not going on. Simultaneous interpretation for live broadcasts was also essential.

There is no need to say much about the single push group, everyone is online.

Shan Liusheng Qinghua was sitting in front of the TV at home, with a little old man with thinning hair next to her.
