Tokyo Sound

The award-giving comment was, "He is able to control himself freely, has a wide acting range, possesses extraordinary emotional empathy, and is skilled in shaping characters. He is a mature newcomer and an all-round talent."

Even compared with previous years, this evaluation is very high.

A man in a black suit stepped onto the stage, his demeanor was refined, elegant, and his eyes were like stars. He bent over and took the trophy that many people wanted with both hands. He stood up straight in front of the microphone. His voice was clean, clear, and full of charm.

"I am grateful for the recognition of the conference and for receiving this honor. This is not only an affirmation of my personal work ability by my predecessors, but also an encouragement and spur for me to do a good job in the future. Although I am the only one standing here today, the credit belongs to everyone and the honor belongs to the collective. I will never be proud and complacent. I will think more seriously about the direction of my future efforts and hope to make better achievements and make more contributions. Thank you again for your support and love. I wish you all the best, health and happiness. Thank you."

The concise and powerful speech, modesty, courtesy, and fighting spirit all reflected the character of an outstanding young person.

Kashiwai Ippei suddenly recalled his speech as Dentsu's best employee of the year.

The agent turned off the video, looked up, and looked at the celebrity who had become popular on search engines recently, the senior that new voice actors admired, and the talented person who stood in front of the wind like a jade tree. But that guy was lying on the sofa with his legs spread out, playing mobile games, sipping AD calcium milk, his legs shaking, like an old cow lying flat, a classic image of someone who deserves to be beaten by his mother, anyway, he didn't look like a normal person.

"I never thought that "Woodpecker and Rain" would bring you such huge profits." Kashiwai Ippei said with emotion.

The agency has received a lot of business emails and phone calls recently, mostly interviews with reporters, invitations to TV programs, etc. Logically, it is time to strike while the iron is hot and participate in various projects, but even though Masao Eda is the president, he dare not assign tasks without consultation. As the saying goes, a small temple cannot accommodate a true Buddha. In fact, there are already mainstream entertainment companies trying to poach talents, including some big companies in the entertainment industry.

The entertainment industry has always been eager for new talents and is willing to invest in them. There are many talent shows, such as the famous Toho Cinderella, which has tens of thousands of contestants each year. Talent scouts in Shibuya and Roppongi are also dedicated to finding all kinds of high-quality amateurs.

Yin Ze is now a big piece of fat meat.

She is in her twenties, fair-skinned and tender, and her image is her least advantage. She has her own fan base, graduated from the University of Tokyo, and won the best newcomer award in the Junpo. She has both soft and hard power. The most important thing is that she belongs to a voice actor agency, which cannot support her development in the film and television industry. Any capable entertainment company can offer better conditions and treatment, and since they are in different circles, there is no possibility of poaching people and offending their peers.

It highlights that it is easy to dig, inexpensive, profitable and has a bright future!

Swing the hoe vigorously.

Kyoto Animation still maintained a friendly attitude, and the official account even reposted the news that this foreign company employee won the best award.

Of course, Soejima Seiki and Miyazaki Shingo were happy, as they had already confirmed that this guy would be doing the dubbing. It must be more comfortable to have a better voice.

Yoshida Tomoki was already fainted. He had been planning the innocent monster plan for many years, but he didn't expect that in the end, he didn't lose to his biggest rival Kashiwai, nor to the obstacle Kyoto Animation, but to the chaos of the monster itself.

Masao Eda in the core area was even more in tears, thinking that you all don’t have to be so outstanding.

"Many of these emails are full of sincerity. How about we discuss how to deal with them?" Kashiwa Ippei scratched his head and asked, "Even my friend at Warner who gave me the resources for Ronin Kenshin is asking about your situation."

"Warner signs more musicians, right?" Yin Ze didn't quite understand either.

"Nowadays, voice actors are developing in many fields. It's very common for singers to debut. If you just transfer to that field, is it difficult to release an album?" Kashiwa Ippei said, "Of course, as the only multi-talented pioneer in the film industry, you have better choices."

"Just decline them all. I don't want to enter the entertainment industry." Yin Ze didn't care about these opportunities that many people dream of. He was upgrading Arjuna, and he got a second child.

"… He just wanted to be a Kamen Rider or Ultraman. Even if Matsuoka told me this reason, I would only believe it 80%. On the contrary, I have to believe you 100% even if I resist." Kashiwa Ippei sighed, "But it doesn't matter, it's just a tokusatsu, now I can get it with my own hands."

"Hehe." Yin Ze just laughed a few times. Now that he has achieved success and has a senior brother to help with Dongying, the rest is just a matter of time. He no longer needs to rely on this burdensome agent.

"You always exceed my expectations, as if you can be a master in any field. But I don't think you are standing in another dimension, but an ordinary person in life. Your existence is really hard to describe." Kashiwa Ippei said in an ethereal voice, "It's very impressive. I will probably never forget meeting you."

"The 10th Voice Actor Awards will begin next month." Kashiwa Ippei added, "You previously made movies and your voice acting focus was on games. Your animation output was very low, so you lacked the foundation to win awards. And even if you had output, you still had to compete with Matsuoka. In the current male voice actor popularity rankings, you two are often ranked first and second, and the competition is very fierce."

"Your method is correct. He and I should operate separately, otherwise one of us will definitely be replaced." Yin Ze was still quite sure of his agent's overall view.

"I don't know if it's Matsuoka this year, but you will definitely be the winner next time." Kashiwa Ippei held his forehead with his hand. "It's always been artists from the mainstream circle who come here to try to be fresh, to brush up their resumes, and even become the leading actor. But you turned around and took away their annual award. This is really impressive."

Although Wikipedia has added a new profession, in several interviews after the awards ceremony, someone still calls himself a voice actor, which makes voice actors and industry professionals love and admire him.

"The executive committee must be worried to death. How can such a representative voice actor not have a voice actor award? Besides, you have had many wonderful performances in the past and recorded many excellent works. You deserve the best both publicly and privately." Kashiwai Ippei said, "After this, you can resume your voice actor work... If there is no animation produced yet, it will be difficult for the association to award it."

"Does the level of voice actors only depend on seniority? Can I improve further?" Yin Ze asked.

"Normally it's not possible, but your situation is special, so I will try to negotiate," said Kashiwai Ippei.

"It's good to have an agent. You can entrust everything to him and he can share the pressure. If you don't have one, life in the workplace will be so difficult." Yin Ze's tone was deliberate, and he recited the lines like he was in a drama.

"I'm glad you have this awareness." Kashiwai calmly sipped the AD calcium milk and gave a one-sided response.

After chatting, the agent went back to his workstation. This shift was becoming easier and easier.

Yin Ze went to the snack area to buy snacks as usual. It had been a while since he dominated half of the voice actor magazines, and there were still waves and aftershocks. The seniors had congratulated him and were returning to their previous lives. However, the newbies in the company were more reserved than before when they met this great god.

How could Master Yin bully a newbie? Of course he enthusiastically gave them potato chips!

"Senior, my investment in you was successful." Saori Ōnishi came closer with a grin.

"What investment do you have?" Yin Ze was at a loss. Could it be that your grandfather is Dean Da Xi?

"Signature, your signature has appreciated in value now." Ohnishi Saori was sure, "It's worth it that I treated you to a meal."

"That's right, keep it. It will be more valuable when I become a movie emperor in the future." Yin Ze likes to brag to his juniors.

"Can it really work?" Ōnishi Saori blinked, somewhat skeptical.

"Have you heard the story of how I made a perfect transition to stardom with three films? The film critics all say that I have the potential to be a movie emperor." Yin Ze snorted.

"Then from now on, you can't sign autographs for others, otherwise you will become arrogant," said Saori Ōnishi seriously.

"...You actually have such economic awareness?" Yin Ze was surprised.

"Do you think I'm an elementary school student too?" Saori Onishi walked away contemptuously.

Hey, why did she say "also"?

Yin Ze stayed for a while and ate, then prepared to go home. He happened to meet Matsuoka Yoshitsugu, which was rare, because popular voice actors usually have a full schedule and run around in various places in Tokyo. The training center also needs professional instructors, and only idle personnel and the oddball club are stationed in the company.

"I knew you hadn't left yet." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu said with an expected expression.

"What's the matter?" Yin Ze was curious.

"Nobunaga invited us to dinner and drinks," said Matsuoka Yoshitsugu.

"I guess he's here to celebrate for me." Yin Ze was relieved, "Then I must not let him down. I must drink to celebrate."

"That's not entirely true. The current plot of his book 'Makai Sensen' can support a season of animation, and it will definitely be adapted into an animation," said Matsuoka Yoshitsugu.

"It's all the same." Yin Ze waved his hand. It was all about eating, drinking and having fun. But he thought of another question and couldn't help but frowned, "His girlfriend..."

"No, there were only three of us," Matsuoka Yoshitsugu added.

"Looking for buddies behind his girlfriend's back must mean he's going to have a great time. Isn't that good? Very good." Yin Ze was quite satisfied.

Chapter 38 An An

Since Matsuoka Yoshitsugu didn't have a car, let alone a driver's license, and the blond horse couldn't carry two people, they could only walk to the drinking place. After taking the tram for a few stops and walking a distance, the two finally stopped at the bottom of an ordinary apartment building.

"Isn't this your home? What are we doing here?" Yin Ze looked up at the affordable small building, a little confused.

"Nobunaga said that instead of spending money outside and feeling the coldness of the city, it would be better to gather at my house and bring our own banquet, which would have a more friendly flavor." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu replied.

"Then why should I come here with you? You can rest at home after playing, but my motorcycle is still locked downstairs in the company." Yin Ze reacted.

"How should I know? You don't ride it yourself. I thought someone as smart as you had other plans." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu spread his hands.

"..." Yin Ze was silent for two seconds.

"Let's go up first. Nobunaga said he went to the supermarket to buy food and beer." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu took out his cell phone to check the message.

"Oh? Can he cook?" With Yin Ze's meanness and alertness, he immediately realized the key.

"I don't seem to have that impression." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu thought for a moment.

"Then can you and I cook?" Yin Ze asked again.

"Of course, especially after the Shokugeki Canteen video and live events, who in and out of the industry doesn't know that our culinary skills are something?" said Matsuoka Yoshitsugu with a hint of pride.

"Now the situation is very clear. Next, you and I will squeeze into the narrow kitchen of the single rental house and spend our energy washing, cutting and cooking, while the Sixth Heaven Demon King will sit in the living room with his legs crossed, leisurely watching TV and waiting for the delicious food to be served. In the end, everyone will get drunk and fall asleep on the spot, and will stagger away the next day, leaving only you to clean up the kitchen waste and tidy up." Yin Ze briefly predicted the overall situation.

"How can this be possible?!" Matsuoka Yoshitsugu was shocked. He ran away after playing, wasn't he a bandit? He was even worse than a bandit.

"How should I know? You yourself agree with his plan. I thought someone like you had other ideas." Yin Ze spread his hands.

"?" This was probably the first time that Matsuoka Yoshitsugu had experienced the Soul Chain, a dark office combat technique. The general outline emphasized that it was more painful to see him make money than to lose money, and the main point was that if one person suffers, all will suffer and perish together. He was so insidious by the viciousness of the Heaven and Earth's Lifespan that he pondered for two seconds.

"How could Nobunaga be the kind of person who takes everything?" Matsuoka Yoshitsugu calmed down and said, "Maybe he has other ideas. For example, he has learned a few dishes recently and wants to share them with us and learn a thing or two. The real warm gatherings are never in the magnificent hotels, but in the teahouse decorated with friendship."

“Hi, hi, hi.” Yin Ze roared like a dragon and shook his head in derision, “What a self-righteous idea! Just hold on to your fairy tale and drown.”

The two of them moved into Mr. Matsuoka's small single residence.

After many years, they have gone from unknown newcomers to popular voice actors. Their status and income have improved, but they have not changed their residence. They still live in the same cheap apartment. The furnishings in Matsuoka's house have not changed much, just like the winter when they first arrived, clean and simple.

Yin Ze skillfully sat on the mat on the floor, picked up the remote control and turned on the TV, and there was laughter immediately. The entertainment industry is developed, and comedians will try every means to make people laugh. Making a fool of themselves is the most common thing, and the bitterness of this is rarely known. Even if the tragic behind-the-scenes story is filmed, it is also another need of the program. But at least for the audience, watching the program is indeed not boring. Especially late-night programs.

"I didn't expect you like watching this." Yin Ze found that there was a large-scale late-night program in the recording function. Honest people can also have a charming heart, and praised, "Well, you have good taste."

"I don't have time to watch TV. I'm catching up on sleep on my days off. This is what you recorded last time," Matsuoka Yoshitsugu pointed out.

"No wonder it looks familiar..." Yin Ze laughed awkwardly and started deleting the old things like clearing the browser history.

"This is what I bought." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu pulled out a publication from somewhere. To be honest, this is a bit like the prototype of the agent's method of taking things from the void. It is a true teaching, but the method is not clean enough.

"Animedia, you read it too..." Yin Ze was speechless. It was a voice actor magazine, and the cover was printed with a photo of the top voice actor at the time. Yes, it was him.

"It's pretty good. It summarizes your voice actor career very well." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu flipped through it casually.

"You make it sound like my career is over." Yin Ze squinted his eyes.

dong dong dong.

The door opens.

"Hey, brothers, sorry for the long wait. Look what I brought, don't be surprised." Shimazaki Nobunaga made a dazzling appearance. He was really dazzling. In addition to the bags in his hands, he also had plastic bags hanging on his body and carried a low-temperature box on his back.

"You're buying so much?" Matsuoka Yoshitsugu helped carry the bag and found that it contained either snacks and beer or fresh meat and lettuce.

"If you can't finish it, just put it in your refrigerator." Shimazaki Nobunaga said.

"Wow, this should be enough for me to eat for more than half a month. It's too expensive." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu squatted down and began to count the ingredients.

"What are you talking about? My brother's business is getting better. Although I can't give you any big gifts, I can have a good meal and drink to relax you." Shimazaki Nobunaga said proudly, "And you, I brought a good fish just for you."

"You are trying to please me, but it turns out you have bad intentions." Yin Ze sneered.

"This is my home, and you are a newcomer too." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu added, turning back.

"Don't be scared." Shimazaki Nobunaga put down the cryogenic box.

"I have only been practicing cooking for a short time, but I have slaughtered hundreds of fish. I have seen all kinds of fish. I even cooked the supreme tuna on stage." Yin Ze chuckled.

"Have you also killed the Himami winter yellowtail?" Shimazaki Nobunaga opened the box calmly like an old swordsman.

A thin layer of cold air rose, and a heavy long fish with a silver belly and black back was sleeping quietly. Its texture was like ice and iron, and a golden mark ran through its head and tail. It looked really good, with the aura of a dominant.

Just the name sounds expensive, Matsuoka Yoshitsugu thought.

"Of course it's expensive. This is a top-quality ingredient that's only available in season."

Yin Ze seemed to understand what was in his mind, and he explained in a low voice that he even approached like a hunter uncontrollably, as his hunting instinct was triggered.

"This deep-sea fish migrates in the seabed every year. Adult fish over three years old will travel from Kyushu to Hokkaido to forage for food. In autumn and winter, they cannot bear the severe cold in the north and will move south from Hokkaido to spawn. On this journey, they will acquire firm meat that is trained by fighting the waves and accumulate rich fat to resist the cold. This is the winter yellowtail, and the most noble of them is the Himi winter yellowtail!"

"...You haven't really unlocked the entire illustrated encyclopedia, have you?" As a cooking enthusiast, Matsuoka Yoshitsugu was a little scared.

"Haha, you are indeed a famous water platform assistant. You can handle it." Shimazaki Nobunaga was even more proud when he saw that the other party was so knowledgeable. "Yes, this is the Himi winter yellowtail caught off the coast of Himi City, Toyama."

This thing only appears from November to February every year, and the catch is only a few hundred. God knows how they got it.

What is cooking? Cooking skills take time to hone!

There is no quick way to master the Xiangyue style. This knife weighs the lives of two hundred fishes, the ultimate in sashimi. Can the taste buds resist it? At this point, ordinary small fish can no longer provide experience points for this great demon who has achieved enlightenment through killing. Hee, this rare and exquisite fish in front of him will surely push the demon's strength to a higher level.

Chefs also make a living by using knives.

By then, the rebel will strongly defeat the girl upstairs in the cooking duel, and in this way he will start his apprenticeship, surpass her, and go all out to kill her.

"Nobunaga! You really have courage!" Yin Ze's voice was full of emotion. He seemed to have seen the expression of disbelief, reluctance and shame on the face of the little sister who was steady in cooking. It was really delicious.

"Hey, I don't know why, but I feel so happy when I see you. Just imagine how many friends like you there are in life?" Shimazaki Nobunaga said in a gentle voice, "Let's go out to eat separately today. Let me show you my cooking skills. Although I'm definitely not as good as you two, it's just a snack, so there's no need to be so hardcore."

"What a coincidence. That person was just complaining that you wanted to treat us as cooks while you yourself would do nothing and be a lazy bum." Yin Ze suddenly laughed. "Facts speak louder than words. I know you are a loyal person."

"?" Matsuoka Yoshitsugu.

"This kind of despicable priority theory is what you thought of, right?" Shimazaki Nobunaga was stunned, but after thinking about it for a while, he understood.

"How annoying. What do you think I am?" Yin Ze waved his hands.

"That's normal. You prioritize being mean to others, and I have always been saturated with suspicion of you." Shimazaki Nobunaga explained patiently.

"You're a little too extreme." Yin Ze kept smiling.

"Is it you?" Shimazaki Nobunaga asked.

"It's me!" Yin Ze was only a few steps away from the killing path at this time, and he exploded, "I framed my brother, so I have to kill fish and cook today!"

"I gritted my teeth and spent a lot of money to buy this thing, just to make it myself and let you taste it. How can you snatch it away and make it yourself? Is this unreasonable?" Shimazaki Nobunaga said hurriedly while protecting the cold box.
