Tokyo Sound

"Tsk." Matsuoka gritted his teeth, but still answered patiently, "I learned this because I took on the role of The Idol King 2. My character Oda Moritaichi was set up as a dancing genius, and his special skill was a backflip. I thought it would be great if I could use this on stage, but I didn't expect so many things to happen later."

"Sorry, I've heard that before, but I thought you were joking... Mainly because of your current size that confused me." Shimazaki Nobunaga sighed, "You are really too dedicated."

"Still attacking, still attacking! Then I must share this little story!" Matsuoka Yoshitsugu couldn't help it and opened the trap card.

"Okay, okay, remember to add more exaggerations." Yin Ze launched a series of quick attacks, adding fuel to the fire.

"Please stop arguing! It's all our fault!" Kadoishi Tomoyuki was deeply moved when he heard these past events. He said loudly from the bottom of his heart, "You all worked so hard, but Mars' performance was delayed for so many years. I must apologize to you on behalf of the previous planners!"

"It's okay, it's all over." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu sighed.

"Yes, we should look to the future." Kadoishi Tomoyuki clenched his fists and his voice became excited. "Let's make up for all the regrets of the past at the second anniversary Live, and then the third and fourth anniversaries. We must do well and stick together with our loyal fans until the end..."

"Teacher Tony, have you got any inspiration?" Yin Ze quickly grabbed Timing and said, "Strike while the iron is hot, let's get moving."

"There are some." Tony stroked his curly hair. "What Matsuoka-kun said just now also made me notice one thing. After all, this is a two-dimensional idol project. You are representing the characters, so you should not only stick to the voice actor, but also consider the characteristics of the characters. For example, Matsuoka-kun's character is a dance genius, so it makes sense to add a backflip."

"What is the setting of my character?" Shimazaki Nobunaga turned his head and asked in a low voice.

"You ask me?" Yin Ze was stunned.

"Then what is the setting of your character?" Shimazaki Nobunaga thought in reverse.

"I want to ask you something else." Yin Ze said.

"You——" Shimazaki Nobunaga's fists hardened. How could he do a good job on a project when working with such a popular young star?

"Ichinose Natsuno is an elegant and mature team member. She is good at musical instruments and used to be a psychologist. She has a lot of experience in dealing with women and aims to make everyone happy." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu said slowly, "Captain, Tenjouin Haruma, a pure boy controlled by capital, always wants to sing for freedom and cherish every support."

"Ha, none of this matters." Kadoishi Tomoyuki waved his hands. "These settings are from old cases long ago. They are outdated. Just focus on your performance. We can fill in the character settings later. It's okay. I can make the decision."

"Don't you need to consider the style of the two-dimensional characters? Then why not just follow J's approach?" asked Teacher Tony.

"Okay, okay, that's it. Okay, totally okay, show us some of the stage appeal and control of a real idol." Tomoyuki Kadoishi gave a thumbs up again, then turned on the speaker next to the large floor-to-ceiling mirror and started playing the medley song.

……

After four hours of adjustment and discussion, the functions were finally determined.

The combination song was performed by three people. Shimazaki Nobunaga is a very solid singer, so he was responsible for the voicing. Matsuoka Yoshitsugu had a brilliant trick and was worth using to enhance the atmosphere at the key points. As the center, the captain had to take on the charm of driving the atmosphere of the whole audience.

After the first round of formal rehearsals.

The three of them were so tired that they sat down on the ground to rest.

Teacher Tony folded his hands, his expression solemn, and he looked at the captain with surprise in his eyes... This person had no foundation, but he could perfectly follow his teachings, with standard movements, clear points, and clean and neat movements. His control of the body was extremely precise, down to every tiny angle. With such rare qualifications and understanding, wouldn't it be like a fish in water to play popping and specialize in robot style?

Tomoyuki Kadoishi was still savoring his superstar style as he pounded his palm hard.

Wonderful, so wonderful, so exciting and explosive, it’s definitely the expressiveness that only mainstream idols can have!

They were even wearing sportswear!

When she changes into her sparkling Bling Bling costumes, the stage starts to light up, and the spotlights cut in as sharply as lasers, coupled with her loud singing voice and the charm of the center position, she will surely receive screams from the crowd and make the whole audience excited.

Kadoishi Tomoyuki took a deep breath, feeling a sense of satisfaction and honor, as if he was the producer of this group, as if a grand performance had just ended. Thinking about it carefully, this feeling is exactly what they want Prodiosan to experience. Kadoishi Tomoyuki also felt a sense of melancholy, as he could not control such a dazzling talent. In his heart, he had a complex feeling of "a girlfriend who does not want to hinder her boyfriend's future and willingly breaks up with him and lets him go away."

Alas, the stage I can build is still too small. The chief producer sighed with his hands behind his back.

"Hurry, go get me something to eat." Yin Ze was sweating profusely and his stomach was growling with hunger.

"It seems that you are easily weak." Shimazaki Nobunaga frowned, a little worried, "Take some time to get a physical check-up. You are like this before you even turn 30."

"Hurry up and get some food, don't make me beg you." Yin Ze opened his bloody mouth, his eyes rolling around like a wolf, his gaze was captivating, and even the smell of human flesh tasted delicious.

Shimazaki Nobunaga felt his hair stand on end when he was stared at by the zombie-like green gaze, as if he was being spotted by a parasitic beast or a ghoul. He was so scared that he hurried to serve water, tea, chocolates and fruits.

Matsuoka Yoshitsugu also wanted to eat a few bites. Strictly speaking, there was a guy eating freely next to him, which was equivalent to watching a live broadcast of eating, so his appetite should be greatly stimulated. However, he saw that although the guy opposite him was eating freely, he had no fat on his body, so he suddenly felt that the food in his hand was not delicious anymore, and he was still worried.

Today's practice is over. Yin Ze and others said goodbye to Teacher Tony and the producer and went out to find a restaurant for dinner.

……

a few days later.

Singing and dancing are just tasks, painting is life.

Master Yin, who added a few unique songs, continued to work in Makoto's studio. He joined this animated film in the middle stage. The pictures were almost completed, and the only things left were adjustments to the recording and the final modifications.

There are no new pictures to review, and even the other animation supervisors are not here. While there is no one around, I will use Makoto's high-end computer to download the last fist 5. There is air conditioning and snacks, and it can be my new place to lie down.

"Oh, teacher, I heard that you are going to release a song. Do you want to debut as a singer?" Makoto Nido appeared, still with the temperament of a gentle Japanese male protagonist, and walked over to ask.

"No, no." Yin Ze's hands were dirty and he quickly turned on the full-screen drawing mode of PS.

"Gal is so popular, the box office has exceeded 30 billion yen, it's amazing, it will definitely be on this year's annual box office list." Makoto Nido praised, "You are going to be a big star, when can you appear on TV variety shows? When can we see you on TBS's Human Observation?"

Makoto has never been very friendly. You can't just go on a Japanese prank show. They asked you to pull a colored ball, but what fell down was not a colored ribbon, but a dead oil thief. There was great despair and great terror.

Makoto is really too evil, and he needs to make another Final Fantasy 14 to take revenge.

"Has the name of the animated film been decided?" Yin Ze asked.

"It's decided, it's called "Your Name," said Makoto Nido.

Chapter 91: Aiming at the Next Session

"Call my name?" Yin Ze was stunned, flattered, and quickly refused, "I know you and Kawamura-kun value me very much, but this is too exaggerated, I can't bear it?"

"…The name of the movie is 'Your Name'. Do you understand?" Makoto Nido was speechless and gestured.

"Oh, so this is the title. I'm willing to accompany you to the show." Yin Ze laughed to hide his embarrassment.

"By the way, why is the computer always in PS full-screen mode?" Makoto Nido leaned over, looked around, and frowned.

"Doesn't this seem more spacious?" Yin Ze took two steps to block the director's probing gaze.

Makoto Nido thought for two seconds, his eyes moved left and right, and then he suddenly understood and showed a mysterious smile full of deep meaning, "Hey, teacher, don't be nervous. There are no outsiders here. We are all serious artists. Don't feel shy."

"What does this mean?" Yin Ze was puzzled.

"Still pretending. You're all painters, but you're still hiding your research on the human body, as if you're afraid of being discovered. It's really annoying. Why are you peeking at me?" Nido Makoto smiled carefreely, and reached out to grab the mouse. "Let me see, is it Berriman or Kim Jung-ki, or maybe Katsuya Terada - ah! What are these?!"

The director opened his mouth wide, stared with his eyes, and uttered meaningless screams, as if he had just bet all his money on the stock market yesterday, and today he was extremely shocked to see a sharp drop.

I saw that in a 500GB hard drive partition, at least 300GB was filled with games. There were shooting games, role-playing games, strategy games, action games, and everything in between. There was also a running program window on the desktop that was scaled to the size of a fingernail. I dragged and zoomed in to see that it was an arcade game emulator, running Metal Slug 3.

All of them are stand-alone games, but the downloader shows that Last Fist 5 is on the way.

"Oh my, who is this? Who installed so many games into the hard drive of my workstation computer!" Yin Ze was shocked.

"…The computers here all have passwords, and the supervisor has changed the passwords himself." Nido Makoto was silent for a while before stating, "Only the supervisor and I know the passwords, so who do you think it is?"

"It can't be you, right?" Yin Ze said tentatively.

Is this human language? Makoto Nido almost fainted from anger!

"I didn't play it. I didn't play any level. There are no save files. If you don't believe me, click in and take a look." Yin Ze sighed, "I just thought that having games on the disk could relieve my fatigue. After so many years, I'm afraid of it."

"I didn't expect the work pressure to be this great." Makoto Nido also said, with great emotion, "This is my problem. Next time I will buy a high-refresh gaming monitor so that the teacher can have fun and not want to leave. Then we can create a new project together."

“?” Yin Ze.

Brother Cheng is very friendly.

The two of them were arm in arm.

"Teacher, you are also good at making games. P5 also played a role. But if you know too much about games, you will lose the fun of research and exploration. Just like the copy of Final Fantasy 14, if you participate in the design of the BOSS mechanism, then playing the copy is just setting questions for yourself and answering them by yourself. What's the point?" Makoto Nito said casually, "It's better to make animations."

"It's all the same. Isn't making an animation equivalent to having the spoilers revealed in advance?" Yin Ze answered honestly.

"The sunshine is so comfortable today." Makoto Nido suddenly looked at his watch and talked about something else.

"It's okay to just draw, but if you also participate in dubbing, it means you are reading the script directly." Yin Ze continued.

"Why is this game partition almost full of games?" Niwa Makoto was extremely surprised, as if he had just lost his memory. He said, "According to the company's regulations, you will be charged for installing these!"

“?” Yin Ze.

……

Riding a big blond foreign horse, he came to the recording set.

Dongbao is a regular company, and the summer movie is a serious project. Outside the recording room, the supervisory group is full of people who are here to check the quality. If there is anything that needs to be changed, everyone can make a decision on the spot.

Yin Ze was not surprised at all. He symbolically took the script and started playing the TV series in his mind to kill time while waiting.

However, I met an unexpected person.

"Why are you here?" Yin Ze was extremely surprised.

"Why can't I be here?" Shimazaki Nobunaga asked back, holding the script in his hand. "I auditioned for this, right? How about you?"

"I got in through audition, uh, I guess." Yin Ze didn't speak very confidently.

"Are you so unconfident? Are you just a supporting role?" Shimazaki Nobunaga laughed.

"Are you confident? Are you the protagonist?" Yin Ze snorted.

"Well, you guessed it right. They said that my voice is clear and my acting skills are moving, so they insisted on upgrading me." Shimazaki Nobunaga waved his hand.

“Hahahaha~.”

"Why are you laughing all of a sudden?"

"You are the protagonist? Then who am I?" Yin Ze put on airs and showed off.

"What's up, you are really the main character." Shimazaki Nobunaga blinked, became interested, and quickly sat next to him. "You are a minotaur, you are good to grab such good resources. After all, it is made by Toho, and they give priority to their own people. Well, it's not surprising. If I want to say which voice actor can compete with mainstream artists on this kind of project, I can only think of you."

"Yes, in this situation, please pay attention to my identity as the 30 billion yen man." Yin Ze nodded, "I may be hip-hop on weekdays, but please respect my rank."

"Wow, 30 billion yen, the little bull head is really rich." Shimazaki Nobunaga smiled, "Invite me to dinner to see my strength."

Yin Ze frowned. This guy is getting more shameless. Back then, he was ambitious and even opened up a light novel industry. Unfortunately, now he has a lot of royalties, a good relationship with his girlfriend, and can talk to his brothers about anything. He is completely trapped in the land of comfort and has lost his heroic spirit. The sixth day demon king has evolved into the Owari fool.

Alas, it is unexpected that Aoji Taiji, an elite peer of the eighth generation and a potential male voice actor who was expected to compete with Matsuoka Yoshitsugu, would fail in his career because of his successful career. It is a pity.

Yin Ze was just about to discuss cutting-edge literature with Demon King Canhui when he saw Kawamura Genki waving at him from a distance, and he stood up and walked over.

"Hello, producer. Have you eaten?" Yin Ze asked.

"Hehe, I heard that the teacher is going to release a song recently, and he has invited Chisa Yumori to write it. Well, if you want to debut as a singer, you can ask us. For things like this, you have to be a professional." Kawamura Genki chatted, "The two-dimensional idol project is a bit restrictive for the teacher."

"It's just a misunderstanding. It's just that I didn't complete my previous work. I didn't want to be a singer or an idol." Yin Ze explained.

"I understand. The teacher has a heavy workload. Now we need to focus on the movie," said Genki Kawamura.

"Let's just leave it at that..." Yin Ze felt a little tired.

"Then I have to congratulate you. Gal is a dark horse this season." Kawamura Genki said emphatically, "It's a great success in both box office and word of mouth. Arimura Kasumi's popularity has soared. With this performance, she is likely to win awards at this year's Academy Awards and Blue Ribbon Awards. Her career path has been broadened and the road ahead will be easier."

"It's natural. She's very dedicated and hardworking. She deserves the reward for her efforts." Yin Ze nodded. He had a good impression of Miss Arimura. It should be said that artists who can fight hard in the entertainment industry are all very good. Although voice actors are talented, they are not that talented compared to the entertainment industry.

"It's already October, and the year is almost over. Teacher, do you have any other movies this year?" asked Genki Kawamura.

"Is it related to film and television? There is only the second season of a knight web drama." Yin Ze replied.

"You mean Toei's Kamen Rider?" Kawamura Genki knew this very well. "...Although Mr. Tsubota is well-loved by the audience and has entered the mainstream, if there are no other movies this year, he may not achieve good results in this awards season."

"As long as the team's work results are recognized by the audience, why should we worry about personal honor and disgrace?" Yin Ze waved his hand, with a very high level of ideological awareness.

"I am an expert, so I have some experience to share." Kawamura Genki said, "The most likely award is the Japan Academy Award for Best Newcomer, but that's too light. And if it's given out in the same year as the Junpo, it's ok, but it's not appropriate to give it out in a later year. And if it's just Best Supporting Actor, I'll probably just be nominated. The same goes for Blue Ribbon and Hochi. This role isn't suitable for awards."

Having already won the most prestigious Junpo Newcomer Award, it is natural that he cannot win the Newcomer Award next time. And the Supporting Actor Award and Leading Actor Award, which are serious awards that prove that all actors have worked hard, are not so easy to win.

Master Yin knows this kind of thing very well. Think about it, he is also a popular star, but he has not won the Best Voice Actor award yet. He is not even the Best New Voice Actor award! Forget about the awards in the voice actor industry. If he had not acted in the film directed by Okita Shuji, he would probably only have one Most Beautiful Face award until now. It's embarrassing to think about it!

Sometimes, whether or not you win an award also depends on the environment, luck, and competitors.

Didn't Yin Ze lose to Matsuoka? After losing the Newcomer Award, he lost the Best Male Voice Actor Award. He has nothing to lose next. The jury has already chosen the next one.

Speaking of which, film awards, in addition to artistry, are inevitably tainted with fame, fortune, and utilitarianism.

There was something hidden in what Kawamura Genki said just now.

Let's not talk about other things, just talk about the Japan Academy Awards, which is somewhat controversial because many of the association's members are from the four major film companies, and Toho's weight is needless to say. But it is very popular because it is the only one among all the film awards that has a live award ceremony on TV, and the media influence is quite large.

When "Gal" became popular, Toho's image department director and managing director Shoji Oku was scratching his head.

The film is our own, the supporting actor is also someone we know, the film is a big hit, and the supporting actor has solid acting skills.

So the question is, how can we best “take care” of ourselves when we are selected?

Don't even think about the newcomer award, it's not suitable.

For the supporting actor award, it’s fine to just be nominated, but it’s a step away from actually winning the award. But according to the award ceremony process, the nominees need to go on stage first and talk about their acting experience in front of the national audience. The result finally revealed the suspense: Haha! No winner!
