Tokyo Sound

Alas, he is worthy of being confirmed as the animation director in a single episode, and is the artistic direction of the current version of Final Fantasy 14!

Just a slight effort is enough to achieve top quality.

I was originally wondering if I would get the traditional juicy illustrations... But who is Big Brother? How could he like and study something that is so straightforward and lacks substance?!

Fans can't help but feel ashamed of their own little thoughts and embarrassed of their low aesthetic taste and knowledge.

I went back to read the novel and found that it actually has some substance.

The pace is smooth, the writing is excellent, the foreshadowing is orderly, and the plans of the powerful people hidden in the darkness are all exciting. It seems traditional, but it is actually new wine in old bottles, using the familiar stage of another world to tell something very new.

Aliang was sure that he had never heard of the author named "Be Yourself in the Flames" before. Who is this person? He is unknown, but he not only writes well, but also has a big brother to draw pictures. This is probably not a matter of money, but a matter of relationship. Considering his background as a literary student, he can't be an alumnus of the University of Tokyo. It's impossible. This is too magical.

Let’s take a look at the PV first, my fellow otakus.

Hiroshi Tsuchiya highlighted the video which was about several tens of seconds long.

At the beginning, there are logos of the library, production company, etc.

With a heavy sound, the image opened up, and in the flames, a man stuck a broken sword upside down on the ground. The silent withered bones not far away trembled slightly, and the empty eye sockets rekindled the soul fire. The space was shattered like a mirror, and the huge bronze door slowly descended and opened. In the depths of the cold and dark demon world, nine huge demon skeletons guarded the golden ancient coffin, which lasted forever.

Various images began to flash one by one.

"After asking, the Cardinal learned that she had an engagement with the Rand family, so we came here in the hope of canceling the marriage." The black-clad guard said coldly, "Please do me a favor."

Crack. The bone china cup in the patriarch's hand broke into several pieces under the silent anger.

"Okay. But it's not her who cancels the engagement, it's me who divorces her." The young man took a step forward and said calmly.

……

"Those two men died so tragically, all they did was fight for this broken sword?" In the deepest part of the dungeon, the young man couldn't help but pick up the rusty broken sword. The moment he touched it, his vision suddenly blurred.

He seemed to see, in a very far distance, a figure with his back to the sea of ​​stars, slightly tilting his head and giving him a deep look.

……

"Humans, you will never be able to pry into the secrets of God." The skinny old man in a gray robe and an evil look crooned enthusiastically.

'Hahaha, offer me fine wine and fresh flesh, and please me more! 'With the success of the ritual, a terrifying existence descended. The fourth secret god Laros melted the battlefield covered with heavy snow. He enjoyed the howling and made a twisted and hoarse laugh, destroying the soldiers of both armies at the same time.

The music reaches its most intense point, and a battle scene with sparks flying everywhere plays out at high speed. Rows of artistic fonts appear one after another.

"A very popular light novel!"

"The fifth most anticipated animation! "

"Fantasy music!"

When the progress bar reaches the end, the Staff table quietly emerges.

……

For a true anime expert, the first thing he pays attention to when watching a show is actually the production list, and the voice actor lineup comes second.

As an old 2D fan, Tsuchiya Hiroaki can tell at a glance that this is basically the old lineup of UFO Club. The various TV and theater versions of the previous Type-Moon series are inseparable from the hard work of these people. As long as there are no accidents, this half-year series will at least be a safe landing.

And if the PV is not fraudulent, the level of the picture is fully worthy of the expected evaluation in the future!

But Tsuchiya Hiroaki didn't see the CV form. Could it be that he is trying to hide something?

However, recognizing voices is a basic skill for voice addicts. Although there are few human voices in the PV, at least the identity of the person in the film is exposed by the protagonist's few words. That slightly distinctive boyish voice is obviously that of Yoshitsugu Matsuoka, who just won the Voice Actor Award and the Best Actor Award.

A Liang professionally reviewed the PV in slow motion, pausing occasionally to try to capture some interesting details.

"Ding, your special follow has posted a new tweet."

Big brother posted an update?

Put down your work and go read!

"Takizawa Satoru @9527yyds: I am honored to be the illustrator of "Makai Sensen" and to participate in the animation production to a certain extent. Tomorrow night at 8 o'clock, there will be a special show before the animation is broadcast on N station. I have been invited to be the host. The guests are voice actor Yoshitsugu Matsuoka and special guest Nobunaga Shimazaki. Retweet the tweet to participate in the lucky draw and win a beautiful hand-painted hanging painting. Click the link for details..."

It was a business activity with cameras turned on!

It's strange to say, since Big Brother's transformation to the screen is so successful, he should have appeared more often, not to mention those idol dramas that lack nutrition but are pleasing to the eye and worth screenshotting as avatars, at least two commercials should be shot. But he has none of these, and is much more low-key than when he was a traditional voice actor. It's not easy to see him alive.

The chat group also started to become active. It went without saying that it was that guy Awei who was reporting the news again, trying to quietly strengthen his position in the group.

Tsuchiya Hiroaki could actually have done the same, but he didn't, firstly because he was disdainful, and secondly because he was thinking about it.

Matsuoka Yoshitsugu is the main character, so it is natural that he should be on the show, but could it be that Shimazaki Nobunaga also appeared?

As Aliang was thinking, he pressed the refresh button of the web page out of habit.

I didn’t expect that something big would come out!

Ten seconds later, as if he had just remembered, the account updated another short message.

"Takizawa Satoru @9527yyds: Another exclusive reveal. @島崎信長 is the author of the novel."

Tsuchiya Hiroaki was stunned after reading it, and his brain didn't process it for a while, but he still had his reaction, and he quickly turned to Shimazaki Nobunaga's account.

Just as agreed in advance.

"Shimazaki Nobunaga @nobu: Yes, I have a light novel."

"???"

The chat group claimed that there was no Mars, so such heavy news was naturally reported quickly. The intelligence was transferred from the push account to the group, from the group to the forum, and from the forum to the marketing account, and the whole process was unobstructed.

The audience and readers were dumbfounded, shocked, and could not believe it for a while. But this kind of thing is no joke, and the pen name is very consistent with Nobunaga. Some people began to analyze it after the fact. No wonder Shimazaki Nobunaga was backed by a big firm and had no shortage of resources, but he was silent for a while. It turned out that he was reducing his main job and focusing on his side business like someone else.

In fact, even many people in the industry don’t know about this, and many voice actor colleagues have left question marks in their comments.

To be honest, the multi-faceted development of voice actors is the general trend. It is difficult for some people to return to the ancient times and become actors. Miracles are miracles, but it is still within the trend.

But this person switched to writing light novels, and it sold well and was even made into an animation. What's going on?

So weird!

No wonder the three of them can play together. They are not normal people after all the fussing!

……

Shimazaki Nobunaga looked at his phone, and smiled as he saw the number of visits, comments, and likes on the dynamic that was increasing rapidly. He often thought about how to express his great achievements politely and gracefully in the middle of the night. After thinking about it, he felt that it was most stylish to let others throw the burden first, and then he would acknowledge it lightly.

Actively showing off is just a bad idea, it is a bit narcissistic and greasy.

The best way is to display your skills invisibly, and you will be successful in everything.

This wave of cooperation is not bad, so I'll reward this beast with a chicken leg. No, I'll reward him with a can of coffee. The starting reward is set too high, and it will be difficult to reduce it in the future.

The ones who laughed the happiest must be Feidie Society and Lightning Library.

Before it even aired, the popularity had already pushed the topic into the trending list. They have always been very confident about this animation, mainly because they don't worry about the market response at all, and the added value of voice actors is fully reflected in these three people.

The IM twins are the hottest male voice actors right now, in a class of their own, and they are both in the midst of winning awards, so no one can challenge them. Shimazaki Nobunaga is the young leader of Aoji Agency, and although he is slightly inferior, he is also a top-tier actor, and this time he is also unscrupulous, with the home advantage of being a light novel author. There is no need for promotion, he has already won.

Adapted animations are essentially advertisements for comics or light novels, with the discs being a bonus. It would be better if they could sell well, but most of them are terrible.

The Flying Saucer Society attaches great importance to this project. The fact that there will be rewards if it is done well is better than a lot of plans. The welding guns in the hands of the strong are ready to go.

And even if we take a step back, even if the animation doesn't sell well, we can still have live-action specials!

"Food Wars: Soul of Food" is a classic example, the BD of the cafeteria sold better than the BD of the animation. And here, if the three of us get together, we will definitely be able to do something big.

In a word, at the business level, I don’t know how to lose.

Third-rate animation sells discs, second-rate animation sells figures, and first-rate animation sells popsicles.

We will advance step by step based on selling top voice actors.

The one that I regretted the most must be "King of Idols 2"... Idol projects could have maximized the added value of voice actors, but luck didn't work out. It's not like no one has discussed that someone would rather suffer in the mainstream entertainment industry than take the more comfortable path of debuting as a singer. It's possible that they were cheated in the past and have a knot in their heart, so they are unwilling to record two more lines for Side M's mobile game.

"King of Idols 2" also sighed, it should have been able to taste the first bite of this fruit.

If I had just gritted my teeth, wouldn't I have gotten through it? !

Chapter 45: Tripartite Review

8pm, what a considerate broadcast time slot. Even office workers can go home, wash their faces, take out the beer from the refrigerator, and watch the program in any sitting, lying, or squatting position. The chat group friends have already prepared potato chips, drinks, screen recording software, and screenshot software, waiting for the show to start. This is an extremely rare live show of two demons and one god, a trinity, and it must be savored carefully.

There are quite a lot of people online, and the number is still increasing. The audience may not all be otakus. There should also be fans from outside the circle who come just for the sake of interacting with someone by showing their face.

The page has been lit for a long time, with a horizontal animated poster, exquisite characters, and high-end style. In the lower right corner are official photos of three participants, all of whom are in their youth, energetic, thin and fair, with the characteristics of young people. However, they were all taken when they debuted many years ago... Now there is a suspicion that the real thing does not match the picture, and I don’t know when these three will change to new official photos.

The older the photo, the more weight of time it carries.

Like taking an ID photo, he faces the camera, wearing a brown windbreaker for winter, without tilting his head and without a relaxed smile, and without any embellishment. He is as clean as ice, with a hint of sadness of snow. It is a photo, but also like a love letter, and within the pages is a dusty love story. This is my eldest brother at the age of 18.

This simple and elegant official photo went viral along with the popularity of the actor's four consecutive screen transformation titles, and it attracted countless young girls outside the circle. The girls regretted that they knew him too late, so that the fan base is dominated by unscrupulous male fans, and the recognized leader of the single push is a bear-like otaku - this situation must be reversed!

At eight o'clock, the live broadcast screen switched to the on-site image on time.

The host stands alone and beautifully on the left, and the two guests sit on the right.

The keyboard masters were typing away with great enthusiasm, and the content was heartwarming.

“Front row!”

"888888"

"Bliss~"

"We are eagerly waiting for this."

"Praise Operation"

The host lowered his head and fiddled with the manuscript, but no sound came out for a long time, and everyone thought they had accidentally clicked the mute button.

"It's open." Shimazaki Nobunaga said.

"Huh? Has it started?" the host raised his head and asked, just like a slow-witted teammate who was playing a game in a team and switched to the desktop to watch a girl group dance video while the game was loading.

"Good evening, everyone. Thank you for watching. This program is a live broadcast on N Station. It is a special event before the broadcast of the animation "Makai Sensen" adapted from the light novel." The host was free of burden and started the business smoothly. "I am Takizawa Satoru, the MC of this show, and also 'Yin Ze', the illustrator of the original work."

"Good evening everyone, I'm Yoshitsugu Matsuoka who plays the protagonist 'Shimada Nobumoto'. It's a pleasure to meet you all." said the guest who had obviously gained some weight compared to the official photo.

"Hehehe..." The third specially invited guest laughed abruptly and greasyly.

"What are you laughing at?" Matsuoka Yoshitsugu asked in confusion.

"I remembered something happy." Shimazaki Nobunaga stroked his chin gracefully.

"What's so happy?" asked Matsuoka Yoshitsugu.

"Everything here is a happy thing now. Hello everyone, I am the special guest of this show, Nobunaga Shimazaki, and also the author of this work, 'Be Yourself in the Flames'."

"It's called burning..." The host's eyes lit up and he just opened his mouth.

"We are all friends, there is no need to be restrained even if it is a live broadcast. You two can just call me Teacher Reyuma." Shimazaki Nobunaga made an urgent advance warning.

"Okay, Mr. Shao." Unexpectedly, Matsuoka Yoshitsugu responded quickly. This triggered a stronger bond with the Dragon God. In addition to his calm demeanor, he also became much more treacherous and sinister. Perhaps powerful forces have negative effects.

Shimazaki Nobunaga's expression immediately darkened. Could this nickname become a recognized nickname for emerging writers? How could he accept it?

"I think there must be many viewers who are surprised, amazed and confused as to how Mr. Shimazaki Nobunaga suddenly transformed himself into a light novel author. This is a rare opportunity, so why not let him talk about his mental journey first." Yin Ze applauded.

"Indeed." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu nodded.

"Why did you become a writer? That's a long story." Shimazaki Nobunaga folded his arms, paying attention to his temperament. "Well, how should I put it? I like reading books privately, and I also try to write some short poems and short stories. One day I noticed that the Lightning Library held an event competition. I happened to have an idea in my mind, so I participated. Unexpectedly, I won the second place in the library award. So I continued to write, it was also a coincidence."

"Wow, Mr. Shimazaki Nobunaga is very talented." Yin Ze said lightly.
