Tokyo Sound

Yin Ze and Nishiya Taishi talked as they walked up the spiral staircase to the second floor.

There are many workstations in the open floor. The tables have relatively high baffles. In addition to supporting the stacked materials and books from collapsing, a flat plate can be added on top of the baffle, which is equivalent to adding more space for storage. People are working at their desks, their figures are buried in the desk lights and paper pages, and the rustling sound of pencils is intertwined.

However, the quiet atmosphere was broken by the arrival of the guest lecturer/extraordinary supervisor/my favorite teacher.

Someone nowadays has so many halos around him that he can even spin a hula hoop. He is simply an idol in the industry.

In the blink of an eye, everyone put aside what they were doing.

Especially the young girls who were full of vigor and energy. A group of animator girls put down their pens, left their seats, came forward, and happily surrounded the natural monument.

"Teacher Yin comes to see us again~"

"Teacher Yin, I have a new work. Can you help me check if there is any improvement?"

"The teacher still comes over. I thought he was busy filming." said a proud person.

“Haha, if it weren’t for my agent who bribed me 80% and deceived me 20%, I would probably be an international artist now. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with being a movie emperor. It’s just that doing art can make me more famous in history.” Yin Ze tried to speak as politely as possible, but the darkness in the depths of his eyes was overflowing.

"What class is this time?" someone asked sweetly.

"A study of portrait painting in the Kamakura period - taking the "Portrait of Master Myoe Sitting in Meditation on a Tree" in Kosan-ji Temple as an example, is divided into four chapters. The first chapter discusses the composition methods of the picture, the second chapter discusses the coloring method and the characteristics of the brush and line forms, and the third chapter discusses the image and the theme. The fourth chapter is more difficult and requires a rich cultural background, so today we will only talk about the first three chapters." Yin Ze said clearly.

"...Where did this paper come from?" Someone was surprised. This was different from what they expected. Wasn't it an offline exchange like a tea party?

"I wrote it. This is only the first part. The second part is about the palace portraits, which has six chapters." Yin Ze said. How can you come to a professional company to talk about something without some hard stuff? It's absolutely hardcore.

But the girls' reactions were lukewarm, and it was clear that they were not touched by such a high-end topic.

"Huh? This doesn't seem to be your major?" Taichi Nishiya felt strange.

"Literature is just a task, art is life." Yin Ze nodded.

"You used to prefer reading books on Western art, didn't you?" said Taishi Nishiya.

"Look all, look all." Yin Ze smiled, and the darkness in his eyes deepened.

"Waka in the New Kokina Era and Its Development" has been handed over to the old dean.

This portrait study is the product of personal time. During this period of time, Yin Ze became closer and closer to the art history research room next door, and also had a good relationship with Professor Gao An, and even shared the same roast chicken, half each.

Japan's art and culture are well preserved, and there are sufficient resources such as art galleries and museums. Even if you are just a student, as long as you have the corresponding school background and the help of professors, you can get first-hand information. Hehe, whether it is to satisfy personal greed, increase knowledge, or do research for self-interest, it is a great convenience.

In the future, I will add my name to the classics, and it will be so pleasing to the eye!

Yin Ze's lips curved up into an evil arc that pretended to be cultured but was actually a scoundrel.

"I feel like the teacher has become so strange since he won a few leading role awards. He seems to be less and less interested in acting." A girl whispered, "He used to be very modest."

"Shh, don't talk too much. It doesn't matter if you don't understand the class, just watch the teacher move." Others said in a lower voice.

"What are you guys whispering about?" Yin Ze frowned.

"We say the teacher is great." Several people said in unison.

"Haha, no need to say more." Yin Ze continued to laugh like a villain.

From a long time ago, Kyoto Animation's official website would post some sharing courses, which were generally viewed by practitioners. Someone has also given nearly ten lectures intermittently, sharing selflessly. I came here today for this purpose, and to meet friends by the way.

……

The charm of a mild summer is indescribable. There are echoes of coolness during the day and lingering heat at night. It is not as gentle as spring, nor as bleak as autumn. This kind of summer is the hardest to leave.

After a fulfilling day, the rays of the setting sun shone on the path, and the boundary between dusk and night began to cross. In the quiet town, there were more elderly people taking a walk, and short-legged dogs followed them, wagging their tails and shaking their butts.

The restaurants here are not expensive and you can choose according to your budget.

The sound of beer bubbling as it is poured into a glass is often the beginning of a pleasant dinner.

The temperament of a small restaurant is often determined by the owner. Similarly, the owner's taste is mostly reflected in the side dishes and wine. The big and strong owner was busy in the kitchen. The female owner was responsible for reception and taking orders. The waiter's work could only be temporarily shared by the eldest daughter. Laughter and the sound of cups and plates filled the restaurant. The little daughter wearing an apron took a break from her busy schedule when serving the dishes and glanced at a certain table.

"You came on time. You arrived just after we ordered the food." Yin Ze said.

"What are you talking about, regular customer?" Ishihara Rikiya came straight over and picked up his chopsticks as soon as he sat at the table.

"Master, can I drink today?" asked Taishi Nishiya.

"Have a drink, be happy." Kigami Yoshiharu said with a smile. He may be old but his heart is young.

"The best parts of these skewers are all for you." Yin Ze stood up and poured wine for everyone.

"The first drink today should be to celebrate your award." Kigami Yoshiharu picked up the cup.

"Oh, it's all in the past." Yin Ze waved his hand.

"By the way, your voice actor award is more or less due to our efforts, right?" Ishihara Riki also chewed slowly.

"I took it because of your name." Yin Ze glanced sideways.

"What are you talking about? It was just a coincidence. How can your achievements so far be attributed to just one animated film? What's important is your accumulation as an actor. Think about it, our company has so many good productions and good roles, and we give them all to you." Ishihara Rikiya said.

"But I also drew "Hyouka" myself." Yin Ze's EQ suddenly dropped.

"To be precise, it was drawn by three of us." Yoshiharu Kigami smiled with his hands folded, as if recalling the difficult collaboration.

"Teacher Yin became famous overnight thanks to that episode. Although he has not participated in many projects, he is now one of the most famous production supervisors in the country." Nishiya Taishi sighed, "What a rare opportunity, why didn't you take me with you when you were so secretive?"

Speaking of the third party, the third party has arrived.

Yasuhiro Takemoto walked into the store with a smile on his face. Behind him followed a little girl, who had a chubby face, bright eyes, and black hair combed into twin ponytails, which was very cute. Perhaps because there were mostly uncles shouting in the small restaurant, the little girl tightly grasped her father's fingers and refused to let go.

"Why did you bring Little Hope with you?" Yoshiji Kigami was surprised.

"Her mother will be home late today, so I brought her out to eat." Yasuhiro Takemoto touched his daughter's head.

"Do you remember who I am?" Yoshiharu Kigami leaned over to tease the child.

"You are Grandpa Kigami." Takemoto Nozomi blinked.

"What about me?" Taichi Nishiya also came over to join in the fun.

"You are Brother Taichi," Takemoto said hopelessly.

"What about me?" Yin Ze had seen Wu Ben's little cotton jacket once before. The clumsy little cotton jacket left two watermelon juice handprints on his pants. Now he has grown up a lot, and should be in the lower grades of elementary school.

"You are Durian brother." Wu Ben's eyes lit up.

"What about me?" Ishihara Riki also showed a benevolent smile.

"You are Uncle Ishihara."

"?"

"No problem, she calls you uncle, and she calls him younger than he is." Taishi Nishiya said immediately.

"Yes, yes, you are 6 years older than Brother Wu Ben." Yin Ze poured the wine.

"Do you really need to explain further?" Ishihara was speechless. Combo, right?

The dining table was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Taishi Nishiya felt that this was a rare opportunity, so he asked Master Yin for advice... on the techniques of the game.

Ishihara Rikiya and Takemoto Yasuhiro have a long history of friendship. When they were working on Haruhi, the two had heated arguments at discussion meetings due to the rare dual supervisor + dual chief animation supervisor structure in the company's history. They also insult each other like high school boys after school.

For some reason, the little girl from the Takemoto family wanted to pull the nose of brother Durian.

?2Yin Ze bent down and let her poke him, then pretended to open his mouth to bite the fat hand, which made the child laugh.

Kigami Yoshiji is old and gets drunk quickly. He slowly talked about the development of Kyoto Animation and the changes in the industry. He also asked about the new technology used by Kimi Nari. There is a two-way senior animation supervisor here, it would be a pity not to get it for free. Later, as he got more drunk, Kigami Yoshiji didn't say much, just watched everyone's interaction with a smile, looked at the proud disciples, and looked at the disciples' children.

Kamogawa is the heart of Kyoto

The Kamo River is always a popular walking route. It is still lively at night. People gather here through the night. Some jog, some whisper on the shore, some play music on the benches, and some practice dancing in the open space. The riverside restaurant has a high riverbed.

A group of people who had eaten and drunk their fill walked past here.

Wu Benxiang even climbed onto Yin Ze's shoulders while playing. The little girl suddenly grew taller, waving her chubby hands on both sides and said happily, "Brother, run!"

"Xilulu." Yin Ze cried out strangely and acted out the horse riding role perfectly. He grabbed the little guy's legs and ran forward faster.

"Dad! Come and chase us!" Wu Benxiang let out a clear childish laugh, her beautiful hair fluttering.

"Run slower." Yasuhiro Takemoto followed, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"The dark horse in the newspaper is really a horse?" Ishihara Riki was also confused.

"You just finished eating, so take it easy and don't get a stomachache." Yoshiharu Kigami walked at the back with his hands behind his back.

The moonlight is like silver, shining everywhere.

Lights are lit up along the coast, creating a beautiful scene of Kyoto's summer night.

……

Yin Ze did not return to Tokyo, but stayed in a hotel for one night.

Fushimi District is a bit far from old Kyoto, where the pace of life is slower and the cost of living is lower.

He went to the studio again the next day. Since he was here, he might as well sit in the snack area of ​​Kyoto Animation.

Here you can see the mountains, the railway that crosses the path, the egrets by the bridge flying over the surface of the Kamo River, fluttering and stopping, gracefully stretching their slender legs to play in the water. The sound of bicycle bells passes through the street.

Yin Ze first sat in a nearby coffee shop for a while.

Just like yesterday, Ishihara Tsuyoshi was counting the briefcases.

"You're here so early?" Yin Ze was curious, "And why are you delivering documents again? Aren't you the director?"

You wouldn't be like me, finding an excuse to go out, finishing your errands as quickly as possible, and then slacking off and using the extra time as you please.

"These are more important things. It's not enough to just deliver them. We need to communicate directly about many things. Of course I went." Ishihara Rikiya said, "Why? Do you have classes today?"

"No, come and sit for a while." Yin Ze said.

"Oh, then wait for me to come back for dinner." Ishihara Rikiya said and quickly went out.

What a familiar scene.

Triggering Groundhog Day?

Yin Ze had the illusion that he was looking in a mirror. But he really waited until the evening, and he returned in the afternoon.

Sitting on the reception sofa in the lobby is a completely different feeling from the office. After connecting to the Internet, the dragon claw hand that reaches for the snack rack is not very clean.

As it approached 10 a.m., people began to arrive for work one after another.

No one has ever stayed in the rest area so regularly during working hours and witnessed such a rare sight.

Nishiya Taishi, who had just finished punching in, rubbed his sleepy face and said, "Teacher, why don't you go up? The seat you used to sit in is empty."

"No, I'll just stay here for a while, just a while." Yin Ze held the phone horizontally with both hands, biting a straw in his mouth, and the drink bottle stood delicately balanced on his chest.

"Why do the shelves feel a little empty..." Nishiya Taishi looked at the snack area and scratched his head. "There is an event scheduled today, and some journalist friends will come. Teacher, how about you take the trouble to help me buy some things and restock the shelves here."

"Of course there is no problem with that." Yin Ze quickly put away his phone, "Which supermarket should we go to?"

"It's the big one near the station. You must have seen it. I'll give you the public funds and you can choose what you like. Buy some extra desserts." Taishi Nishiya took out an envelope from his bag.
