Tokyo Sound

Yin Ze looked down at the stage and saw many people, including industry leaders, colleagues from the firm, close friends, and close friends. Finally, across all this peace and light, he looked further away.

He likes dubbing. Although he got into the industry by chance, he likes it now. He likes this thing and these people.

There is something I have wanted to say for a long time.

One sentence is enough.

He raised the trophy gently and spoke in a gentle voice.

"Takizawa Satoru, we are the best voice actors now."

Chapter 130 Life is like this

Winter begins, spring comes, summer passes and autumn comes. A year passes in a flash.

Life is literature. Walking in the library, bending over the desk, writing essays and cooking sentences, that is life; doing housework, washing a bowl, watching the Chinese toon tree sprouting new buds outside the window, sketching with a pencil to capture the spirit, that is also literature.

The certificate for Best Voice Actor was framed and hung on the wall of the living room in the tiny apartment. The trophy and the other six film awards were placed in a small cabinet that had been vacated and taken out and wiped from time to time.

The latest update of the account was a short article and a selfie celebrating winning the 11th Voice Actor Award. This tweet received many comments, and people were very supportive and left congratulatory messages. Even the usually "cold" owner of the account responded enthusiastically to many messages. After that, it was as if he had forgotten his account and password, and he stopped moving.

As the dark horse of the award season, Takizawa Satoru, who has won many awards, has never left the entertainment headlines. He is on TV, on trending lists, in search hot words, and in newspapers. Overnight fame is not enough to describe it.

With the end of the award season, everyone returned to work, and when the six-time Best Actor award went from being a shocking rumor to an established fact, the discussion and enthusiasm naturally declined to a more normal level.

The new season of anime series is here, but otakus haven’t seen the voice actors who have shaken up the industry in the new series list.

The spring season of TV dramas is here, but the Japanese girls didn't see the newly crowned Black Horse in the cast. Of course, since he's a movie star, it's normal that he's not here. However, after searching for movie information, there was nothing.

Only then did some people realize something strange and unreasonable.

The current top voice actor and the new movie emperor doesn't have any job?

No announcements, no updates, not even new news.

The person who stirred up the world and was surrounded by stars at the beginning of the new year, and who was supposed to show off his skills and talents, seemed to have disappeared from the circle all of a sudden without a trace.

I have no idea where to start if I want to find out his current situation as he doesn't have any fan club.

The silence of the official account, coupled with its zero business, is like disappearing from the face of the earth for viewers who can only passively obtain information.

However, some people noticed that his profile picture with blue sky and white clouds and the small account with the background would upload speed drawings or drafts every once in a while, and professional illustrators were collecting and liking them.

...At least the eldest brother was not sick and had to take a leave of absence, people thought. But if that was the case, why did he suspend all work activities without any warning?

Having just created a historic achievement and reached the peak of his career, he should have struck while the iron was hot and pursued his success. But now even basic operations have stagnated.

In this inexplicable disconnection and invisibility, time slowly passed.

……

The University of Tokyo is the most comprehensive university in Japan. Its headquarters is located in Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, and it mainly has three campuses: Hongo, Komaba, and Kashiwa.

Compared to the Komaba Campus, which has many clubs and a lively atmosphere for freshmen, and the Kashiwa Campus, which only has the New Frontiers Graduate School, the Hongo Campus, which has most of the faculties and graduate schools, is more in line with the general public's idea of ​​the University of Tokyo.

There are as many as 26 cafeterias and coffee shops in the Hongo campus. In addition to franchise stores, there are also many branches of famous restaurants. Moreover, under the school regulations, the prices of cafeterias and restaurants are mostly not expensive. For some people here, the Dongda University ID card is like a long-term food discount coupon.

A bright afternoon, a seat by the window, a steaming cup of Blue Mountain, and a melodious piano piece.

Time in college is always lazy and leisurely. Here, the hands of the clock seem to be slowed down by invisible hands. Students enjoy the peace in the cafe, perhaps relaxing, reading, or thinking.

The window on the side of the museum was half open, and the faint sunlight enveloped a man. The side light turned into a faint brown flickering on his black hair, with a mysterious sense of transparency. He was wearing a very classic sweater and shirt, and a pair of ordinary black thin-framed glasses on his nose. He looked elegant and decent.

Here, emotions always control time. Drinking a cup of coffee can take ten minutes or an entire afternoon.

The soothing and low-pitched music creates a sweet atmosphere.

The girl sitting next to him ordered a cup of coffee without sugar or milk. She hid her eyes behind the dispersing and fading heat, and quietly wandered to the man who was quietly typing on his laptop. The taste of the coffee was a little strange to her, but she tasted happiness in it.

Shan Liusheng Qinghua drank very slowly, but she finished it and wanted to order another cup.

Yin Ze, who was nearby, pondered for a long time, then pressed Ctrl+S and let out a long breath.

"The academic atmosphere here is really strong." Shan Liusheng Qinghua looked at the trees outside the window.

Hearing the word "academic", Yin Ze couldn't help but grin. He closed his laptop and said, "Qinghua, it's time for you to go back to the field. I'm sorry, I said I would take you around today to familiarize you with the campus, but I was busy with my work."

"It's okay, we can do it next time." Yamayagyu Kiyoka waved her hand. As a freshman at the University of Tokyo, she had plenty of time to tour the campus.

"I knew you could do it. The director must be very pleased." Yin Ze nodded approvingly.

"I was also influenced by my brother. Your experience encouraged me." Shan Liusheng Qinghua nodded.

"Enjoy your time in college. Your life is just beginning to become exciting." Yin Ze finished the almost cold glass of Blue Mountain.

"Let's go to the cafeteria to eat together in the evening." Shan Liusheng Qinghua looked forward to it.

"No problem, I'll swipe the meal card." Yin Ze waved his hand.

"How can this be so embarrassing..." Shan Liusheng Qinghua exclaimed.

"You're welcome. By the way, the central cafeteria has a limited amount of roast chicken available every day. It's marinated using a secret method, is extremely delicious, and comes in large quantities, making it very filling. The price is very attractive, so you definitely have to try it. If you get the chance, be sure to queue up." Yin Ze began to impart some common sense about the University of Tokyo.

"A whole chicken? I don't think I can finish it." Shan Liusheng Qinghua's appetite is certainly not as good as that of a gourmet.

"Don't you still have me?" Yin Ze said solemnly. He hadn't paid off his debt to his senior brother yet, and it had been a long time since he had chewed a juicy chicken drumstick.

“?” Clear flowers grow on the mountain willow.

After parting with Yamayagiri Seika, who had become his junior, Yin Ze walked towards the Department of Literature alone.

After winning the voice actor award, Yin Ze felt relieved. He stopped working on his acting career and started focusing on other things. He was immersed in the ocean of knowledge and obsessed with the subject.

The process of the paper is roughly like this: imagine a broken bottle, pick it up piece by piece, and then piece it together according to the imagined bottle. After the piece is pieced together, lift the bottle high up and smash it on the ground again, breaking it more thoroughly than before.

Wandering in the comprehensive library, the corridor of life records one ancient book after another.

Natsume Kenzo came to talk to him about this and asked if he wanted to further develop in the entertainment industry. After all, the idea of ​​not letting people go until they finish their studies is unique to the old dean. Even with Natsume Kenzo's literary talent, he did not become a novelist or writer in the end.

Yin Ze didn't have such far-reaching thoughts. He thought that studying in college to recharge himself was not a bad thing. He originally loved creation more than receiving flashes and attention in front of the camera. Moreover, the way elders give love may not be suitable in the eyes of young people, but the depth of love can be felt. Similarly, Yin Ze understands how precious time is to the elderly.

The dean's office remained the same, and the old man was still writing on the table with a pen in his hand, stopping occasionally.

"Oh, here you are, let me see yours." Ohnishi Kawase hooked his finger, took the USB drive, and inserted it into the computer to read. He will retire in a few years, and the guy in front of him is the last student he will teach as a mentor.

"Your eyesight is so good, why do you wear glasses?" Onishi Kawashima looked up and said curiously.

"Don't you think this makes me look more scholarly?" Yin Ze pushed the frame of his glasses with his index finger.

"The best actor is still the best actor. He has to deceive himself first before doing anything." Onishikawasuke teased.

"Speaking of which, if we only consider the number of trophies, am I the strongest among us?" Yin Ze's heart moved.

"If you count the Newcomer Award and the Most Beautiful Face title, you can call it eight crowns. To be honest, except for the lack of international awards, you're almost surpassing me." Onishikawasuke said seriously.

"Still the most beautiful! Still have the same face! How much time has passed!" Yin Ze grinned.

"Don't underestimate yourself. You have made a great contribution to the publicity of our school. The freshmen may not know who is the Dean of Literature, but they must know the anecdote of the Japanese and Austrian Film Award winner." Onishikawasuke laughed, "I have another proposal, which is to hold a US-China competition, and let the previous champions discuss beauty across time and space. It will definitely be very successful. The inspiration for the Guan Gong vs. Qin Qiong came from the Holy Grail War you starred in."

"Please give up this dangerous idea. My visa has been approved, and I will take a plane to avoid the storm." Yin Ze stretched out his hand to indicate that it was not allowed.

"Really?" Ohnishi Kawase paused, his tone becoming distant, "It really makes me miss it. I wonder if I'll have the chance to see it again."

The old dean also crossed the ocean to visit the mainland many times.

"My mother never went to college and didn't have much education. She was just an old woman living in a small village. But she loved reading a small book that contained many short and medium-length works, which she also gave to me. Before I left the village for school, I copied down the ending paragraph of one of the stories called "Hometown" in pencil in my notes. Time flies, and it's already been 50 years." Onishi Kawaseong sighed and took out a photo that he had repeatedly stroked from his long and wide wallet.

As the last disciple, Yin Ze was also fortunate enough to take the book in his hand and take a look at it. When he read those sentences that he knew by heart, he was shocked.

——Xun, a photo of Xun's manuscript? !

"This was given to me by the Beijing Museum when I visited the museum many years ago. I burst into tears. This is the treasure of my life... What are you doing?!" Onishi Kawaseong's gentle voice suddenly turned into an angry shout.

"This is not my intention! My hand is out of control!" Yin Ze was stunned. He realized that his hand holding the photo was slightly approaching his pocket. He immediately broke out in a sweat. "How could I steal? How can a scholar's work be called stealing..."

"You evil beast! Are you going to rebel?" Onishi Kawaisuke picked up the Kojien dictionary from the corner of the table, which was as thick as a brick and rushed over.

……

I finally escaped from the dean's office. Although I was hit by two normal attacks from the dictionary, I was able to see the photo of the manuscript of "Hometown" with my own eyes. Not to mention the normal attacks, even being penetrated by a critical hit was nothing.

Besides, this paper seems to be pretty good.

Yin Ze put away his decorative glasses and had dinner with Shan Liusheng Qinghua as he had said before. It was indeed not easy for the director's granddaughter to repeat her grade and pass the entrance exam to the first high school. It is conceivable that after this incident, the principal has completely lost the qualification to confront the director. I hope the principal can be more open-minded.

The project has made a breakthrough, and Yin Ze can spend more time on painting. During this period, he personally witnessed the completion of the production of "Sekiro", and Xiao Gao repeatedly asked him to try it out.

When Yoshida Tomoki found him again to chat, Yoshida was very surprised. After all, in his heart, the innocent monster plan that he had built for many years was instantly turned into ashes when the six crowns were born. In Yoshida's heart, Teacher Yin was going to be a big star, and he was going to film idol dramas with young and beautiful girls, with 800 kissing scenes in 12 episodes. Alas, now it seems that I have watched the teacher too much.

Anno Hideaki also sent a production invitation, obviously remembering what he said on the set of "Dragon Dentist". Times have changed, and now both parties are the best director and best actor of the same Japan Academy Awards. Of course, Anno brother doesn't pay attention to this. He has a clear goal. He invited not actors, but active top original artists who are not inferior to Okiura Keiyuki. The production of EVA must be the top in the industry, plus there are only a few old perverts and crazy demons in the circle. So since Junming, Yin Ze has the opportunity to collaborate with the strong men to create again.

...Of course, in addition to these basic reasons, Master Yin also had his own dark thoughts. When he paid the debt for the roast chicken to the eldest brother, he also got some information worth paying attention to. It is not worth telling to outsiders.

As for Toei, don't worry, just play with Shirakura. As the best male lead, you have to maintain your status and be willing to accept.

As a registered voice actor, under Yin Ze's wishes, his voice actor level has been rising all the way, and the association has also made special arrangements to exempt him from the qualification requirements. In terms of level alone, he is higher than his predecessors such as Hikasa Yoko and Nakajima Maji. A high level means a high salary. In other words, it is difficult for him to appear in ordinary animations with limited budgets.

Alas, harem anime will ultimately be left to the newcomers of the future.

Besides these important tasks, Yin Ze also takes on odd jobs and draws at home to earn a flexible income. In fact, if you think about it carefully, a long time ago, the life of a freelance illustrator was almost his ultimate goal after getting a job. Now he has achieved it.

Masao Eda saw that the pillar was not returning to work for a long time, but he did not feel any resentment at all, and could even be said to be happy about it... It was better for him to take a break, he could not stand any more stimulation.

Takizawa Satoru belongs to I'm Enterprise, which in itself is a continuous positive buff.

If there is anything else.

That is, he would take the bus, take a walk after dinner, and make an appointment with relatives and friends to go to the nearby store to buy radishes and green onions on weekends.

Before I knew it, I got to know a lot of people.

Life itself is made up of simple and harmonious lines, but it can be so normal and unexpected.

Ordinary and simple. Being content with being ordinary is not simple at all.

Life is like a song.

Chapter 131 And You're Still There

The train pulled into the station, and Yin Ze walked out of the carriage with a messenger bag on his back, stretching himself lazily. The laziness of the lazy man was hidden in the innocent and pure residual heat of summer.

The clouds are stretched infinitely in the sky with the wind, and the sunlight casts fragmented shadows on the path. The treetops are lush and green, the sound of cicadas floats in the distance, and the breeze brings the unique warm fragrance of summer. In such weather, you can wear long sleeves or short sleeves.

Although Yin Ze was active in Japan, he basically only visited various districts in Tokyo. Apart from following the crew to stay in remote areas for a period of time, he rarely traveled to other cities and had not even been to Hokkaido.

I have been to Kyoto many times, but I have seldom visited it. I have never been to Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka, and I have never been to Kinkakuji Temple. The area around Nanzenji Temple in Sakyo Ward is even better, full of rich atmosphere. It is also the area with the most universities among the 11 administrative districts in Kyoto.

Kyoto University and the University of Tokyo have been in a love-hate relationship for many years.

Conservatives at Kyoto University think that the University of Tokyo is stubborn and inhuman, while extremists think that the University of Tokyo is just a slave of the Ministry of Education.

Conservatives at the University of Tokyo think that Kyoto University is a backup choice for those who fail to get into No. 1 High School, while extremists would ask in surprise if Kyoto University is the name of a university.

Sometimes position determines attitude... Senior Yin Ze, who uses his student ID to get discounts every day, has no intention of fighting, but he has to express his stance when something happens, saying that Kyoto University is just a substitute for him.

But to be honest, I really want to try the cafeteria at Kyoto University. I wonder if I can use my Kyoto University student ID to get a second cup at half price (it would be a success if I don’t get kicked out).

But in the minds of old Kyoto people, only those who live in Luozhong are real Kyoto people, and the others are not.

Every time Yin Ze came, he only went to the Fushimi district in the south. After he got to know the road, he would look at the telephone poles that divided the sky and walk slowly along the way.

It's a small town with not many people. The farther away from the big city, the slower everything becomes.

In a residential area, there is a bright yellow three-story building.

Yin Ze was familiar with the place. He even had a door card with his work number printed on it - even though he had not actually started working there.

The first floor was spacious and quiet, with only a few people staying. The walls were covered with homemade animation posters. The air was filled with the scent of paper mixed with wood.

"Hey, the teacher is here." Taishi Nishiya, who was wearing a gray shirt and glasses, was bending down to receive a cup of coffee and turned around.

"Isn't this the six-time champion?" Riki Ishihara, one of the four supervising directors of Kyoto Animation, walked by with a briefcase and said exaggeratedly.

"No need to be polite, no need to be polite." Yin Ze raised one hand, "But remember what you said. My price is very high now. If you want me to do voice in the future, please make a budget. Friendship is friendship, and bills are bills."

"Very rational, but I want to make some changes." Ishihara Rikiya pondered, "I'm not asking you to be a voice actor, I'm asking you to be an original artist, so I don't need to consider the value of the actor."

"His price for drawing up orders is not cheap now..." Taishi Nishiya added, holding a cup of water.

"Well, it's the company's money anyway, why should I worry about it?" Ishihara Riki also said that we should learn to look at problems from different angles.

"Where are you going?" Yin Ze asked.

"It's okay to send the manuscript. I will be back for dinner in the evening." Ishihara Riki also waved his hand.
