Tokyo Sound

Faced with this man's sincere explanation, Sakura Eiji had a complicated expression.

If you are an employee of mine, and you are consistent in appearance and character, talented and beautiful, humorous and responsible, and a rare and unique man in the contemporary world, I will be very happy. If you are not, but something else, then I will be in big trouble.

"Let time prove my justice." Yin Ze then changed the subject, "I didn't expect that one of us bought plaster and the other bought painting supplies. How did Sakura suddenly think of painting?"

Before she could answer, the pillar of the family answered, "Ayane has been influenced by me since she was young and grew up with art. It's not surprising that she picked up the brush again now."

"I see. No wonder Sakura's appreciation ability far exceeded that of her peers when she was at the National Art Center, Tokyo. This is all thanks to your good teaching." Yin Ze affirmed.

"Art museum?" Sakura Eiji was stunned.

"Yes, and thank you for sharing the two exhibition tickets. It was a great Masters exhibition and I enjoyed it very much."

"What, what?" Sakura Eiji recalled, like a victim accusing, heartbroken, and trembling, "Did you go to Master Fujimi's exhibition with Ayane? But she clearly said that she went with her reliable and gentle best friend?"

"Am I unreliable?" Yin Ze was stunned.

"He is a close friend." The good daughter turned around again.

"I thought you were talking about a girl in your class, or a senior student!" the old father said loudly.

"Ah, you thought it was a 'best friend'?" Yin Ze suddenly realized, and then thought of the past, and laughed at himself, "Personally, I think... I am no different at all."

"No male best friend! The more handsome he is, the less you want him!" said the old father angrily.

It seems that this elder has a deep prejudice against people from the pool.

"I'm almost done with my rest. It's time to go back. I still have things to do." Yin Ze instinctively felt that it was not advisable to stay here for long. It would be better for him to slip away quickly, go home to play cards, and eat the delicious dinner of the 3-4 girls upstairs.

"No rush, you can sit for a while longer." Sakura Eiji said sinisterly.

"Yes, this is your first time here, so play for a while longer. I have a game console in my bedroom, you can play it when you are bored. Also, I bought so many things, I need your help to clean up and assemble them." Sakura Ayane said with a smile.

"I've thought about it and I'm sorry for delaying you today. If you have something important to do, you should leave first." Sakura Eiji's expression changed immediately and he said kindly, "If you have a chance, you must come to visit me next time. I will definitely treat you well."

"Why are you rushing people to leave, Dad? That's not polite at all." Sakura Ayane said unhappily.

"I'm not urging him, he really has something to do." Sakura Eiji spread his hands helplessly.

"Uh, can I stay a little longer?" Yin Ze was grateful for the hospitality of this family.

"As a man, how can you contradict yourself? You're being timid and not manly at all! Are you going to leave or not?!" The old father gave her an oppressive look.

"Should I go...or not go?" Yin Ze was a little confused.

"No..." Sakura Ayane was about to speak.

"Oh no! It was my negligence. Isn't your electric car damaged and can't be started temporarily? In this case, I will call an Iraman for you. He has many years of administrative driver experience and will serve you. It will definitely be fast and comfortable." Sakura Eiji slapped his thigh, and his voice was loud and resounding throughout the living room.

"That's too expensive. I can just take the tram." Yin Ze shook his head and quickly stood up.

"As you said before, you are not greedy for pleasure. Well, then, walk slowly."

The uncle put his arm around the young man's shoulders, and the two of them reluctantly walked towards the entrance.

After coming out of the mansion, Yin Ze felt that his body had lightened up a few pounds.

"Come again." Sakura Eiji waved goodbye, and then the door was closed.

Yin Ze, who was standing outside, no longer felt the unknown, heavy pressure, and his whole body felt a little lighter.

He looked up and forgot about the rich mansion in front of him. He just thought that he should not come here again in the future...

The uncle standing inside was thinking deeply about future countermeasures.

This accidental encounter is just the prelude to the storm.

Chapter 78: What bad intentions can a geek have?

As a good senior representative of I'm Enterprise, Masaji Nakajima came to the company to clock in as usual today. After finishing the paperwork at hand, he wandered around the company as usual, and occasionally wiped it with wet tissues when he saw something dirty.

Because he is willing to listen to newcomers' troubles, often organizes activities for colleagues, and has a gentle and unpretentious personality, many people have been taken care of by him, so Nakajima Masaji has a good reputation in the company.

Many juniors who have just entered the industry and have a hard time getting started are very anxious and often show up at the company, hoping to leave an impression and get more audition opportunities. In the past, he would take the initiative to talk to these anxious newcomers, using his own example to cheer them up.

The company is a little quiet today, but that's actually a good thing, as it means there is basically work to do.

Nakajima Masaji was happy about this, but also a little lonely. He is a typical old-school voice actor with strong professional skills, but he is not suitable for the current "idol trend" in the industry. In the future, he will probably gradually develop into a teacher who trains newcomers, or take a temporary position and join the operation of the agency.

Alas, if all young people were perfect, I, as the recognized "IM intimate uncle", would lack opportunities to appear on the stage.

As a middle-aged man who has already established a family and a career, his life has settled down. His fifth-grade child would instinctively act up in front of the girl he liked, just to try to attract her attention.

Such a person as Nakajima Masaji had no intention of standing on the stage with the young people to steal the limelight.

On the one hand, he hopes everyone is doing well, and on the other hand, he wants to have some young newcomers for him to teach and let them shine and contribute their talents.

Now I just have some free time.

Nakajima Masaji took a walk with his hands behind his back, feeling the slight sadness peculiar to his age.

In the past, there would always be a few energetic but nervous young people standing at the company’s door, but today there was not a single one.

Just as the only designated confidant uncle was sighing, he suddenly saw a person, a rare guest. This person had an extraordinary appearance, handsome and dignified appearance. Only the word "dream lover" could describe him. He was a perfect interpretation of standing like a lily and a jade tree, smiling like the bright moon in one's arms. When he came in, the cloth at the door seemed to become a red carpet for a superstar.

Nakajima Masaji's eyes suddenly lit up.

It was not that he was bewitched by that enchanting face, but he clearly caught the sadness on this person's face, the hesitation between his brows, and the aura of self-doubt emanating from his behavior.

Takizawa Satoru, a newcomer who entered the agency with the best evaluation, made his debut in an animated film and a big-budget TV series. He has excellent appearance and personality, is a student from a prestigious school, and his emotional intelligence is not inferior to that of a fourth-level office worker. He often gives his agent chicken soup for the soul until he has diarrhea, and his quality is impeccable.

As far as I can remember, he has never been to the company except for taking official photos.

In other words, he has no worries, no shortage of extras, and is the best among the newcomers.

However, today, he who shouldn't have come still came, bringing with him troubles that could not be concealed.

The stronger a person is, the more powerful his mental demons and troubles are likely to be.

it is good!

As the object of encouragement from the caring uncle, this guy's purity is at the SSS level!

The naughty kid was having so much fun that he didn't have time to brake - right in my heart!

The good soul in Nakajima Jianji's heart was burning fiercely, and he instantly became full of energy and spirit. He straightened his clothes and faced the enemy calmly.

"Isn't this Takizawa-kun?"

"Mr. Nakajima? You're here too?" In his eyes, the prey with the hexagonal attribute panel was a little surprised.

"Of course, I often come here to help confused juniors. But you have always been free and easy, why did you come to the company today? Are you here to complete your personal information again?" Nakajima Jianji began to guerrilla warfare.

"No, I just heard that showing up would increase the chances of meeting a mentor." The boy was very straightforward.

"From what I heard, it seems like things haven't been going well for you lately, you've hit a wall at work, and you're feeling very troubled?" Nakajima Masaji gave an intriguing smile.

"I guess so." The boy sighed.

"That's great!" The uncle, who was delighted to see the prey, clapped his hands vigorously.

"Ah?" The boy was startled.

"Well, what I mean is that being too smooth is not conducive to long-term development. Only by overcoming difficulties and obstacles and healing the scars of setbacks can one last forever." Nakajima Jianji said seriously, "Only the young eagle whose wings have been broken can soar to a higher sky."

"That's right." The boy nodded in agreement.

"I have been working for more than ten years since I finished my first dubbing job. Although I cannot compare with those more respected seniors, as long as you persevere, anyone can master the technology in ten years. The rest is things beyond technology." Nakajima Jianji patted the boy's shoulder and talked a lot. "We all went through this. I know the troubles of newcomers better than anyone else. Even someone as outstanding as you are not immune to this. But this is proof that we can still make progress. You don't have to be shy. If you have any sad things that you want to talk about, just tell me."

"I don't feel comfortable using you as a negative energy tree hole." The boy hesitated.

"Don't worry, I'm at the confessional in the Roman Catholic Church." Nakajima Jianji exuded a holy light of compassion, and took the initiative to pull the boy to sit on a large guest chair nearby, and held his hand affectionately.

"Well, since that's the case, I have to vent." Yin Ze said softly, "To be honest, I'm very unhappy recently."

"Is it due to physical reasons?" asked Nakajima Jianji.

"No, even though I am like the rest of the young people, eating junk food, staying up late, playing games and watching TV shows, being lazy in bed, procrastinating, doing nothing and wasting my life, I am healthy and free of disease and disaster."

"Is it a mental reason?" Nakajima Jianji asked again.

"Not really. After all, I don't have a girlfriend and I don't have the burden of repaying a loan, so I'm still very happy." Yin Ze paused, "Actually, when I was chatting with Matsuoka before, he told me that he had received a role in a certain work. When I found out, I was very unwilling to accept it. After all, that was the opportunity I had always dreamed of."

"Oh? Is that true?" Nakajima Masaaki pondered for a moment. "In fact, the voice actor industry is a pyramid structure, with fierce competition and a high elimination rate. Even if brothers are in the industry, the older brother may be super popular while the younger brother is unknown. It is not uncommon for one of the best friends of the same period to fly away like a rocket while the others are still chasing after him. Everyone has jealousy, but you don't have to take it too seriously. In fact, a true friend is more precious than those false names and status. Besides, you have excellent qualifications and will not lack opportunities in the future, so just be open-minded."

"I was really jealous of Matsuoka's job, so I asked Kashiwai-san to keep an eye out for similar jobs for me, but the agent disagreed! He even lectured me! As a result, he turned around and gave that kind of job to Matsuoka!" Yin Ze was indignant.

"No way?" Nakajima Jianji was puzzled. "Mr. Kashiwai is a smart man. You took the initiative to discuss it with him. Why would he deliberately go against his advice and make you unhappy?"

"This isn't the first time we've had a disagreement." As smoking is prohibited indoors, Yin Ze took out a chocolate bar from his pocket, pinched it between two fingers, and held it in his mouth, saying sullenly, "Every time we argue, it's always a bitter argument. I really want to find another open-minded agent who supports my dream."

"It's so serious." Nakajima Jianji couldn't help but take it seriously. "Then, what role is it that makes you feel so sympathetic?"

"A supporting role." Yin Ze answered immediately.

"This...?" Nakajima Jianji was a little confused. "It's just a supporting role. You shouldn't be so envious, right? Oh, are you a die-hard fan of that work? Are you disappointed that you can't participate in the animation?"

"Not really." Yin Ze waved his hand.

"Then what happened?"

"That work is called 'Sacred Seal Alchemist'." Yin Ze said in a serious voice, and then took a tactical pause, "It's a harem porn anime with explosive content!"

Nakajima Jianji waited for a few seconds with a serious face, and found that the other party did not continue speaking.

"and then?"

"There is no more."

"what?"

"Senior, don't you understand? That's a harem porn anime."

"I know. It's not like I haven't done it before. Then what? Is there something wonderful about it that makes you so obsessed?"

"Didn't I emphasize that? Harem and erotic anime!"

"???"

The two of them stared at each other in silence for a while.

Nakajima Jianji covered his forehead and thought for a moment. His consciousness was so intense that he quickly flashed yellow images in his mind in a montage technique. The seaweed rice balls he had in the morning, his children's smelly socks, Jurassic dinosaurs, paramecium under a microscope, the blooming and dying of stars tens of thousands of light years away...

"Could it be that you—" Nakajima Jianji raised his head, his eyes clear, "just want to match a flattering otaku work?"

"What else?" Yin Ze asked back righteously.

The intimate uncle was speechless for a moment and had no idea what to say.

So far, I have met many ambitious newcomers. They were all influenced by the plots of various wonderful masterpieces during their childhood and growth. Those plots were passionate, or reflected on war, or explored human nature, or imagined the magnificent future of science fiction. In short, they all left a deep impression on everyone. The same is true for the best rated newcomers in the past. They use the past emotions and aspirations as the cornerstone, and hope that one day they can also produce works of the same level.

There are many newcomers who are worried about gains and losses and even lament, "For the sake of livelihood, will it really help improve my acting skills if I keep acting in fast-food works like this? Won't it become dull and formulaic?"

Today, this class of best newcomers with unlimited potential have also embarked on the road of career planning and worry that strong people should have.

…Although it’s a 180-degree opposite sadness.

"With Takizawa-kun's conditions, as long as he works hard, he can experience the joy of living in a light novel." Nakajima Jianshi looked at him strangely, "Why are you losing sight of the main point? Could it be that you actually have different ideas about your female colleagues? I have to say that the role is the role, and the voice actor is the voice actor, so don't let your feelings get transferred."

"How could I be the kind of dreamer who can't distinguish between reality and fiction?" the boy explained, "But some happiness can't be experienced in the three-dimensional world after all."

"In other words." Nakajima Jianji's expression gradually became serious, "You are a second-dimensional person."

"No, I just want to be the leading actor in a otaku-friendly work."

"But you can obviously find a smart, obedient and clever girlfriend in real life with your own abilities."

"I'm used to being single and don't want to be in a relationship. Women are too difficult to deal with."

"So you are looking for a lover in the virtual world, aren't you a two-dimensional person?"

"No, as a man, it's normal to want to play a cameo role in the life of a harem male protagonist. In reality, it's basically impossible to do this."

Nakajima Jianji began to think again, and fragments began to flash in his mind again. The Siberian blizzard, the magnificence of the Great Rift Valley in East Africa, the unpalatable ramen without seasoning salt, and the third contact with the stupid materialistic aliens...

The senior suddenly widened his eyes and looked up abruptly.

"So the conclusion is that you are a scumbag who doesn't dare to have two feet on eight boats in real life, and can only take advantage of your work to enjoy the false pleasure of being the center of attention in otaku works. You have the intention but not the courage to do it?!"

Yin Ze was stunned and subconsciously wanted to refute, but after thinking for a long time, he felt he had no idea where to start.

"Are you in trouble because your friend has snatched your Yun Zhanan Experience Card?" Nakajima Jianji pressed on.

"Ah this..." Yin Ze stammered.

"Young people are young people after all."
