Tokyo Sound

It's time to make a contribution!

"It's rare that the producer is in such high spirits. Okay, go ahead and don't worry." Makoto Nido, who had experienced failure before, said encouragingly.

"Hahaha, we must have a great time today. As the saying goes, wine makes a hero brave, and he won't obey his wife--" Kawamura Genki raised his glass, got into a fighting stance, and began to chant drunken words.

"Drink up bucket after bucket, you will be the president of Dongbao!" Yin Ze sniped at the middle gate, sang in response, offered his best wishes for promotion, and said enthusiastically, "I'll drink first!"

Kawamura Genki frowned, thinking that the matter was not simple. But he still toasted. After finishing this round, he wiped the corners of his mouth, prepared to trick people step by step, and chanted again, "Haha, he is gifted and kind, this kind of actor must be cultivated, Dongbao has a big flag, and the new star of the screen is shining!"

"Good sentence, good sentence." Nito Makoto praised.

"Have a pound of wine while you're still young. Brothers are the most caring. Let's be rising stars together!" Yin Ze didn't listen to anything else and just poured wine for the two of them.

"?" Kawamura Genki was angry.

"We can't stop, hurry up, use Xin Yanzi to suppress him." Makoto Nidu cheered from the sidelines.

"Mono no aware died, the audience appreciated it very much, and it's going to be a prime time show, the fans are excited." Kawamura Genki drank the second cup in a short time, exhaled, and adjusted his inner breath, "I've been invited to an idol drama, and I'm getting younger and younger!"

"It's better to share happiness with others than to enjoy it alone. Let's get younger together with the wine in the cup and the food essence!" Yin Ze was still not satisfied, so he automatically added more wine and drank it. "Come on, let's have one!"

"That's very targeted." said Makoto Nido.

"..." Kawamura Genki was angry.

"Hold on, hold on, and keep going." Makoto Nidu clenched his fist.

"Wine is a blessing, wine is longevity, drinking brings good luck and longevity. Sharing wine is sharing blessings, don't let bad luck come." Kawamura Genki poured the wine in his glass into the director's glass. Because he realized that he had lost the rhythm, so he retreated to advance, temporarily avoided the edge, and tolerated it for the time being.

"?" Makoto Nito was forced to join the battle.

"As long as the two of us are of one mind, two cups of drinking will be enough!" Yin Ze supported the expansion of the battle, his heart filled with passion, "Brother Cheng, don't look so sad, come and have a drink!"

"Hurry up and answer the call." Makoto Nido looked at the producer and gave him a powerful look.

Kawamura Genki remained silent. If he didn't take action, he wouldn't be countered. He lay dormant and settled down.

"Haha, the producer has been silent all the time, so he must not be afraid of toasts. Silence is golden, and drinking won't make you drunk!" Yin Ze's words were sonorous and powerful, and very contagious. "It's a good time to wrap up, let's toast together!"

Damn it! How can it be so strong? Word Spirit skills have no cooldown? !

Kawamura Genki gritted his teeth.

Is it possible that the Faculty of Arts of the University of Tokyo is a place of feasting and drinking, that it actually gave birth to such a drinking-party killer, such a devilish god.

"That's it? He couldn't even last five rounds and was killed. And you still told me that you are a veteran producer, a mainstay in social events, and a master at pushing cups?" Makoto Nido was disappointed and complained a little.

"Well, well, I think you should drink in moderation. If you're happy, just have a small drink and enjoy yourself." After witnessing the intrigues and dark sides of people in society, Kamishiraishi Mone spoke like an angel.

The three adults paused, looked at each other, and bowed their heads in shame. At what age did they become adults and gradually use their wisdom to compete for superiority? This is really a wrong example and should be reflected upon.

"Eat." Makoto Nito waved his hand.

"Delicious." Yin Ze commented on the taste.

"Where's my food?!" Shimazaki Nobunaga, who was concentrating on eating, just looked up and saw that the two portions of lobster meat in front of him had been taken away by the director and the leading actor one after another.

Kawamura Genki picked up his chopsticks with a heavy expression. Today was the dinner party with the greatest invisible pressure since he started working.

……

After the Makoto project was over, Yin Ze only needed to make movies. The more he made movies, the more he felt that he was not suitable for showing himself in front of the camera. Acting requires liberating one's nature and revealing a lot of things. Under normal circumstances, he would leave it to the life corridor to operate, but the long shot at the end of "Yokomichi Senosuke" was done by himself. As a director, Shuji Okita was honing the actors' efforts.

Yin Ze is not used to such a job that requires him to devote his whole self to drama. On the contrary, he feels quite comfortable coming back to dubbing. After all, there is a layer between the front and back of the stage, and for the same performance, he chose dubbing.

As for the rest of the filming, there is no need for Yin Ze to go crazy. The acting skills he showed in "The Corridor of Life" are actually enough.

The film "The Story of the Boatman" is a film that relies on the level of actors, as long as there are few NGs and the filming is fast. "Yokomichi Senosuke" had to go to various places to take real scenes, and a lot of time was spent on the road and on the set.

The filming of "The Adventurers" was completed smoothly. Since I didn't have a close relationship with the crew, it was just a normal working relationship, so there was a little distance when we parted. But when Onishi Kawase knew about it, he asked Yin Ze to go to the school cafeteria and treat him to a roast chicken dinner as a reward.

There were buddies in the crew of "Yokomichi Senosuke". For the last dinner, they were not formal. They gathered at a barbecue restaurant. Okita Shuji said that he was confident that he would bring the promised honor to the leading actor this time. The producer was in a quantum superposition state of wanting to disdain but seeming reluctant to do so, which made people worry about his mental state. Honzo Masumi was the one who did not hide it the most. He held hands and sighed that after this farewell, he did not know when he could draw eyebrows for you again.

In this situation, Master Yin didn't dare to talk about retirement as it would spoil the mood, and he was afraid that the producer and makeup artist would turn against him.

Masao Eda fulfilled his promise and approved the leave. Now he just waits for the next profit. A pack of tea and a pack of cigarettes, sitting in the office all day, hey, being a broker is not that difficult.

Dongbao took action and it was quick. The publicity department worked hard and soon news of the animated film appeared in TV commercials and social media. Its own theaters were also making great arrangements to prepare for the release. Yin Ze had just rested for two days when he was dragged to cooperate with the promotion.

Hiroaki Tsuchiya saw Big Brother on a terrestrial TV program. He was bored and kept changing channels with the remote control, but he caught a glimpse of him and stopped accurately.

On the official presentation stage, on the left is Kamishiraishi Mone, and on the right is Nagasawa Masami. Being sandwiched between the two Toho Cinderellas and sitting in the center, how could he not be blessed?

For a moment, Aliang didn't know whether to envy his elder brother or Masami Nagasawa. After a brief and careful consideration, he decided to envy Masami Nagasawa.

Makoto Niwatari briefly explained the animation to everyone and threw out the keyword "dream", "By the way, have you ever dreamed about someone you like?"

"I haven't yet." The still young Kamishiraishi Mone said with a smile.

"What about you?" Nido Makoto turned his head.

"Me?" Yin Ze frowned and said reluctantly, "I dreamed of you."

"What a coincidence, me too. I wonder what the dream was about?" Makoto Nido immediately smiled. They were indeed heading in both directions and were indeed soulmates in animation and aesthetics.

"I dreamed that you were calling us to change the drawing." Yin Ze said.

"Ahaha, Ms. Nagasawa, as a senior worthy of admiration, how do you feel after working with her?" Nidu Makoto avoided the question.

"You are a very charming person, exuding a mature temperament. Considering that the director made this collaboration possible, I will reluctantly forgive your usual harsh attitude towards the background crew." Yin Ze raised his thumb.

"Which team member instructed you to say that?" Nidu Makoto asked amiably.

"Remember to cut this part." Yin Ze said.

"But we are broadcasting live," said Makoto Nido.

"I am also a fan of Makoto Nido, the animated film director who is currently attracting worldwide attention. To commemorate the release of his latest work, the unedited version of The Garden of Words will be played later. Please don't miss it." Yin Ze sat upright.

"Taki in the work is a boy who is worthy of reliance, but the voice actor himself is very sweet-talking, which is really lamentable." Makoto Nido sighed.

“Yeah, yeah.” Kamishiraishi Mone agreed.

"But even if it doesn't suit the role, he can still perform perfectly. Isn't this proof of his superb acting skills?" said Masami Nagasawa.

"Mitsuha also performed very well. With him as an example, the director kept asking me to act more cute and feminine. I am obviously a girl, but I couldn't compare with him in this aspect. I was a little unwilling." Kamishiraishi Mone said, "But when I saw him standing with his feet turned inward when playing Mitsuha, I suddenly felt relieved."

"Oh, and during my breaks, I watch beauty videos on my phone," added Masami Nagasawa.

"How could this happen? Aren't my colleagues on the set cute enough? They actually secretly looked at other girls on their phones." Makoto Nido added fuel to the fire and questioned.

"I watched it with the mindset of gaining knowledge." Yin Ze defended that makeup techniques can also be used in portrait drawing.

"Come to think of it, when you were in the studio, it was also on your computer... the one you can't look at during work hours." Makoto Nido couldn't help but say.

"Is this something you can say?" Nagasawa Masami added fuel to the fire.

"Don't slander me. Why don't you just say that there is a mini-game running in the background?" Yin Ze said.

"It's not good. If it goes on like this, it will be considered a weird project and it will be ruined." Makoto Nido laughed. He faced the camera and said sincerely, "But it really brought together all kinds of shining talents. I am really lucky to be able to produce animation with such a team. Maybe I will never have such an opportunity again in the future. This is a work that brings together luck, happiness and talent. It will definitely not disappoint everyone."

Aliang stayed in front of the TV, unwilling to miss even a second of the advance information.

Since the last live show of King of Idols 2, Big Brother has been silent. There are no new episodes, no updates on the account, and even the latest results of Last Fist 5 cannot be found, and the game is not logged in. The fans of the single push cannot get energy replenishment, and they are really hungry.

Unexpectedly, after holding back a big one, I got to share the stage with Toho Cinderella.

Good, good, good! The realm has become higher again!

Hiroaki Tsuchiya picked up his cell phone and started operating the cheering station.

In the group chat, General Dongwu and Brother Dong have searched the entire Internet to find first-hand advice and shared it so that the group owner can adopt it and upload it to the support station.

At critical moments like this, people never divide into camps or have any selfish motives, and they all work together tacitly.

What is single push - single push is the cause, and single push is also the result.

Chapter 109 Are You Going?

Historically, there are only so many works that can be called the work of the best in the animation industry. These animations are often jokingly called the carnival of the old men. The industry is a circle that relies on connections. In other words, if you want to have a party, you first need a big shot to be the initiator.

Well, Yin Ze has always been appointed inexplicably, and has never experienced the mental journey of Lao Hai, but based on his sinister mentality, it is probably like this: Hey, Mamoru Oshii/Katsuhiro Otomo/Baldy Tomino/Brother Anno/Miyazaki/Akira Morimoto/Ichiro Itano/(the rest is omitted) - there is a super cool party, and all the big names will attend, but guess who is not invited? Yo!

Although Makoto is an animator with a lot of attitude, he has relatively little experience and is still at the level of an "old thief".

...Well, "old harm" must be "old thief", but "old thief" is not necessarily "old harm".

But this time, "Your Name" also invited many top-notch figures.

Hehe, we have invited Ando Masatsugu, Kise Kawaya, Matsumoto Kenji, Hamasu Eiki, Okiura Keiyuki and other strong people to entertain the audience. They are as powerful as the Angry Ghost, Vega, Transport President and Orochi in the boxing game. Each of them is a veteran, each has a special trick, and the basics of human body and perspective are as solid as a mountain. There is also a drawing supervisor with the pen name Yin Ze, who can bring endless surprises!

The real painting fans already knew the situation when they scanned the production list. The real solo pushers had already discovered the traces of the shadow clone technique and became thirsty. The news of the return of self-drawing and self-acting was circulating among the voice fans. The fact that she was on the same TV show with Toho Cinderella was naturally a high-quality topic in the water group. She was paired with Masami Nagasawa, but it didn't make people feel discordant, because with the prosperity of her film career, her artistic status has been improved, and it is reasonable for her to promote the show together with the national top star. She is indeed the most influential and most popular voice actor at the moment, and it would not work for anyone else.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will find interesting details. How did a non-Toho artist get the first share of the cake for a project that Toho put in a lot of effort and money? Although Toho's own artists are more female than male, even if you queue up normally, you may not be able to get a voice actor. There are a lot of young artists in the industry who are eager to gain experience. So netizens began to infer... that someone would change jobs and step into the front of the screen completely. The female fans in the film and television area are quite supportive.

In response to this kind of reputation, Masao Eda and Genki Kawamura both sighed pessimistically.

The premiere, or preview, of Your Name was at Anime Expo in Los Angeles. The Garden of Words had been there before, and this time Makoto brought his latest masterpiece, which attracted a lot of attention. The audience was so enthusiastic that they lined up in front of the theater.

After the screening, the movie received unanimous praise from the animation fans present. There was constant praise and applause. At the autograph session at the end of the event, some fans started waiting half a day in advance, and the autograph session originally scheduled for one hour was extended to two hours. During the handshake event, Makoto's hands were numb from shaking hands.

The news spread all the way back to Japan, and the reviews after watching the film were more emotional and touching than the last, which also whetted the appetite of local audiences.

As the distributor, Toho estimated the results based on the response and, confident in the quality, made a bold statement, saying that the final expected box office value is 60 billion yen!

This goal.

For example, Ronin Kenshin: Kyoto Inferno, which is known as the ceiling of comic adaptations, made 52.2 billion yen. Anno-san's Evangelion: 52.6 You Can (Not) Redo is also around billion yen.

So I can still feel a little bit of challenge.

Makoto Nido quickly returned to Japan and made the final, subtle adjustments to the film based on the test screenings. After that, he plunged back into the busy promotional tasks.

In fact, Yin Ze should have gone with them at this point, but as a veteran late-night variety show watcher, he was somewhat in awe of being on a variety show himself, so he declined several terrestrial resources that were considered good by others. Then, he and Cheng Ge appeared on several interview-type news programs together.

After hearing this, Toho's managing director, Shoji Ohku, nodded and said that the family was pure and did not care much about popularity, exposure, and fame. But he could not really take a holiday, so he planned a special episode to commemorate the release and continued to promote it on TV.

Oh, next time I go to Keidanren’s cocktail party, Mr. Natsume will definitely ask me to have a drink, right?

……

Tsuchiya Hongliang is happy these days.

The energy of single push that was lacking in the past can now be replenished by turning on the TV. As long as you are interested, you can always browse animated advertisements, and the information channel will also insert some news.

This time there is a special program lasting more than 20 minutes.

In the Internet age, "appearing on camera" is not a new thing for people. Everyone can upload videos on many websites, live broadcasting is popular, and voice actors are doing more and more real-time online activities. But they are all images, and appearing on TV is more upscale.

Otakus often come across a term called "underground idols", which comes from another Japanese term "terrestrial". Terrestrial originally refers to the principle of broadcasting, as opposed to satellite TV. Although it has been replaced by digital technology, the general meaning of referring to TV stations is deeply rooted in people's minds. Therefore, idols who have never been on TV or on terrestrial TV have become underground idols, which is quite superficial.

There are many voice actors whose voices have appeared on TV, but there are very few who are the main C voice actors who continue to appear on terrestrial TV.

Look at how the show is introduced.

"He has appeared in movies such as 'Gall Girl' and 'Woodpecker and Rain', and has made his way to the Hall of Fame with his superb acting skills. He is also the most popular voice actor and has received high praise from both inside and outside the industry."

Take a look at the list of awards, the words "Junbao" are really shining... In comparison, the awards for voice actors are relatively weak, and the value of the side job exceeds that of the main job, which is a bit embarrassing.

"I think the charm of Makoto Nido's works is inseparable from his expression of stories and images. He is very good at using a sense of distance to explain sadness, love and longing. Secondly, the images are very beautiful. He is the kind of person who pays attention to practical details. He has very strict requirements for light and shadow, and is very strict in reviewing pictures."

On TV, Yin Ze was wearing casual clothes, facing the camera and speaking fluently.

"He is good at applying digital technology to the workflow. He also likes to study new technologies and immerse himself in the world of animation with the latest methods. With this kind of enthusiasm and interest, I believe he will become stronger and stronger in the future. The project team took many photos in various places to model, render, hand-paint, and render. This process is different from traditional animation. It is very interesting and the effect is great. The rational beauty of the machinery and the emotional brushstrokes, a lot of this collision also burst out something different. The old predecessors also had a lot of fun. In terms of quality, I will definitely not disappoint you."

Tsuchiya Hiroaki nodded in a state of amazement. In fact, even though he was the number one single-promoter, it was rare to see the big brother as an artist. He felt different from usual, with the calm, steadiness and restrained charm of a master.

Switch to exterior view.

"Now we have come to the Sangu Bridge in Yoyogi. There is a famous scene here." Yin Ze pointed to the railway crossing in the distance.

"What is it?" Kamishiraishi Mone responded obediently from the side.

"At the end of 5 Centimeters per Second, the hero and heroine meet again here, but the train rolls by, and when you stop to look back, the cherry blossoms are falling, and she is no longer there," Yin Ze sighed.

As if to confirm this statement, the train passed by, whirring. When the carriage completely left, a man was standing across the street. Makoto Nito put one hand in his pocket, holding an umbrella, looking very artistic.

"The beauty appears?!" Kamishiraishi Mone exclaimed.

"..."Yin Ze.

Makoto Nido came jogging over with a smile on his face. It seemed like a five-second if-then ending - the heroine happily ran towards the hero.

Tsuchiya Hongliang stopped his divergent thoughts.

No, the more I think about it, the more frightened I become.
