Tokyo Sound

"Wait, aren't you looking at me?" Yin Ze was extremely confused.

"It can't be helped. You are the main character but have so few scenes." Kashiwa Ippei paused and said, "Come to think of it, you and that junior senior from Osawa, Hidaka, have quite a connection. You gained a lot of popularity because of the role of Elredo, and she also gained vitality in her career because of Panisse."

"Well, she is indeed decisive at work and a good partner to work with." Yin Ze nodded.

"It sounds like you get along quite well with her?"

"Fortunately, between smart people, there is always no need for nonsense, and it is highly efficient." Yin Ze sighed. The younger senior can easily deal with even a fourth-level social animal like himself. The two have fought many times, both openly and secretly, and each has won half of the time, which is very intense.

"That's good." Kashiwa Ippei gave a familiar smile and took out a familiar piece of printed paper from his briefcase. "It just so happens that the radio drama of the Dream Tapir Girl has begun to be prepared. To be honest, in my heart, you are much more interesting than the character you play, especially your broadcasts in the Pitch-Black series. They were obviously the battles of a novice, but now there are audiences who specifically replay them repeatedly to enjoy them, which shows your broadcasting talent. The higher-ups have already decided that you will be the host this time, and Miss Hidaka will be your regular guest to help you as your assistant. You are old partners, so there should be no problems or omissions, right?"

finally come.

As Senior Nakajima said, you can make money by chatting with women!

It's a pity that the opponent is a younger senior. If it could be replaced by someone else, it would be a sure win. Unfortunately, he can't.

The man sighed as he took the printed paper and read ten lines at a glance.

The phone was ringing loudly.

'Facing the waves with pride ~ Blood is as red as the sun' [Note: from George Lam's song "A Man Should Be Self-reliant"]

The man took it.

"hello?"

"Takizawa! Takizawa! I got the protagonist!"

The other end of the phone was full of emotions.

Chapter 106 Getting Better

Matsuoka Yoshitsugu was still a little dazed when he got home. He took off his coat and put it on the sofa, staring at the TV which was not turned on. The island country has a small land area, and Tokyo is even more expensive. Every day, people with great ambitions come here, and some leave with low enthusiasm. The hustle and bustle is too numerous to count.

He found this tiny apartment by walking around the streets, because the agency fees were not cheap.

What lasts forever is always spiritual, never material.

Whenever it rains, the house smells musty, and there are traces of paint peeling off the yellow walls. The power supply is occasionally disconnected, as if a naughty child is tampering with the main switch. Late at night, you can hear the squeaking of mice stealing food. I don't know how they got in. When the lights are turned on, the mice run away in panic. You can see their skinny bodies and long tails from hunger. It's really a big city with fierce competition. It looks like there's a lot of soup and meat, but in fact, there are only a few bites to eat, and the same is true for the mice.

For him, the rental house is just a place to stay, a place to go in the late night after a busy day and brushing shoulders with neon lights. On rainy days, lying in bed, listening to the slanting wind and drizzle outside the window, even with thick cement and doors and windows shielding him, he still doesn't feel safe, as if he is still exposed to the rain, and the dark and uncertain future and loneliness turn into ribbons, entwining his heart.

This second seemed different.

The wind brought with it the scent of forests and the sea. The narrow living room, which had no way to walk even if two people slept on the floor, now looked more spacious and pleasing to the eye. The dripping sound of the faucet in the bathroom, which was not turned on tightly, had the ethereal sound of deer power knocking on bluestone.

Matsuoka Yoshitsugu was not good at communicating, but he took out his mobile phone at this time.

I really want to talk to someone.

The first contact he found was his parents, but he didn't have the courage to call them. Scrolling down, he saw the trustworthy name. This time he didn't hesitate and pressed the key.

"Hello?" came the voice of a friend.

"I got the leading role!" Matsuoka Yoshitsugu could no longer bear it and threw away all his joy.

"...Huh? Good! As expected of you!" The friend also smiled happily, "Also, it seems that Kashiwayo has done something great!"

"Are you free tonight? Let's go out for a midnight snack?" Matsuoka Yoshitsugu took the initiative, "Let's choose the restaurant we used to go to after get off work when we were waiters."

"Okay, no problem."

When men talk on the phone with other men, they never drag out the conversation for too long. Matsuoka Yoshitsugu hung up the phone, looked at the small apartment with no one else in it, stood up and stretched himself.

"Without saying anything, you gave Matsuoka a good job." Yin Ze looked at the agent again at this time, and felt that the man with gold-rimmed glasses looked more handsome out of nowhere.

"It's just a small job that increased the risk of liver cirrhosis by a few percentage points." Kashiwa Ippei said modestly, "Besides, I planned it, but you guys made it happen. It doesn't rise to the level of 'doing human things'."

"It's just excited words, it's just excited words, Brother Bai Jing, don't be so narrow-minded and take it to heart. Come, I'll toast you a glass." Yin Ze held up the wine glass with both hands.

"It seems that your friendship is deeper than I thought." Kashiwa Ippei said with emotion, "Not long ago, you successfully got the first role of your life, but you were not as happy as knowing that Matsuoka became the main character."

"I haven't thanked you for that yet. Brother Kashiway worked so hard to find that role for me. To be honest, when I got this job, I immediately thought, 'It's great to be a voice actor.'" Yin Ze said sincerely, "For a fan like me who has been a fan for ten years, being able to personally join the series can be said to fill a gap and regret in my life."

"Hey, between us, there's no need to be so utilitarian. If you really want to thank me, this meal..."

"How can I express my gratitude with just a table of food?" Yin Ze interrupted tactically, "Of course I want to repay your kindness with my unparalleled enthusiasm for work!"

"Haha, the old saying is still true, interest is the best teacher. You now have the resources of the Zhongqing series, and your fighting spirit is unprecedentedly hot, which is not in vain. My hard work is not in vain." The agent said calmly, "There is also an old saying that men and women work together without getting tired. I am looking forward to the ratings in the future."

The two men clinked their glasses with their own ulterior motives, and after a brief rest, they entered the second stage of grabbing the meat.

……

At 10 o'clock in the evening, Yin Ze successfully arrived at the agreed place, parked the beautiful lady next to the store, touched his undigested belly, and walked in.

Matsuoka Yoshitsugu arrived early and waved at his seat when he saw him coming. The Hokkaido guy must be a very nostalgic person. The table he occupied was exactly the one the two of them sat at the beginning. It was still a night of beer, but a lot of changes had happened unconsciously.

Yin Ze walked over with a smile and bumped fists with Matsuoka Yoshitsugu.

"Congratulations. So which show are you the protagonist of?" the man spoke first.

"It's called 'God's Memorandum'. When I first got the result, I didn't react at all. I was so surprised that I almost choked on the candy." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu rubbed his hands happily, but he became worried again, "But can I really take on this important task? I'm a little unsure..."

"This makes me have to mention Sakura, a classmate of the same class as mine." Yin Ze nodded.

"Ah? Is there any connection between these two?" Matsuoka Yoshitsugu was puzzled.

"She took on the main role of the animated theatrical film right from the start. Although there were many twists and turns, she managed to make it through, didn't she?"

"Then Sakura-kun must be gifted and intelligent, right?" Matsuoka Yoshitsugu sighed.

"No, it's because the supervisor is gentle and amiable, and the male lead is generous and doesn't care about the mistakes of small people." Yin Ze said seriously, "We accompany her to make mistakes regardless of the time cost."

"…Then I'm doomed?" Matsuoka Yoshitsugu immediately broke into a sweat. "I'm not like Sakura-kun, who is naturally protective and lovable. It's the exact opposite."

"Everything has a first time, and in my opinion, your skills are absolutely up to par." Yin Ze patted his friend's shoulder vigorously, "In a man's life, there will always be times when he has to face challenges head-on."

The store manager, who had met him once before and had a white cloth tied around his head, excused himself and came over with the food. Yin Ze discovered that there were actually three cups.

"I also called Shimazaki Nobunaga," explained Matsuoka Yoshitsugu.

"Isn't he obsessed with the wasteland of literature? How did you move him?" Yin Ze frowned.

"I don't know. I told him that I got the leading role, and he was very happy to say that he got a role he loved, and he even came all the way here to show off to you," said Matsuoka Yoshitsugu.

"Showing off to me?" Yin Ze frowned even deeper, thinking that maybe this person had overtaken others and had access to the hot pornographic anime in advance, becoming the incompetent male protagonist who enjoyed the blessing of having many wives and was surrounded by paper figures. "Did he say what the work was and what role he played?"

"I didn't say it, but I specifically said, 'I know in my heart that on the road to becoming a moon man, I have already surpassed that man by so much,'" recalled Matsuoka Yoshitsugu.

It was as if lightning flashed through Yin Ze's heart, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously revealed an arc of contempt, coldness, cunningness, and carelessness.

He probably knew what it was.

The two men did not touch the cooked food, but just drank beer and chatted about random things, waiting for the arrival of the third person in the triangle relationship.

Soon, the man with the same name as the Sixth Heavenly Demon King walked towards them with a dragon-like gait. After not seeing him for a few days, Shimazaki Nobunaga seemed to have changed a lot. His eyes were sharp, his smile was confident, and his gestures were elegant. He looked refreshed and vigorous, as if he had just taken a sauna and had an oil massage. He approached and first glanced at a little-known fast food emperor, with a hint of arrogance in his eyes, and sat down without saying a word.

"Brother Shimazaki Nobunaga, aren't you busy being a ghostwriter for Haruki Murakami and striving for the Nobel Prize in Literature? Why did you go out? It's not good for a superstar like you to show up in public, right?" Yin Ze joked.

"Literary creation requires inspiration and a combination of movement and stillness. I have been in seclusion for a long time, and it is time for me to come out and collect folk songs. In addition, there is a piece of news that I have to inform you." Shimazaki Nobunaga wanted to be reserved, but in the end he gave a sinister smile.

"How can I help you?" Yin Ze asked.

"Don't be afraid of what I am going to say." Shimazaki Nobunaga said slowly.

"I'm a professional voice actor. I'm not afraid. Just tell me what you think."

"I attended an audition a few days ago, and in the afternoon, I got some news." Shimazaki Nobunaga kept smiling, speaking slowly and enunciating each word, "I will be starring in Fate/Zero."

Yin Ze pursed his lips subconsciously and adjusted his sitting posture. After a long while, he asked respectfully, "Which passerby do you want to play?"

"He's not a passerby, he's a heroic spirit. He's very handsome and can throw long-range weapons." Shimazaki Nobunaga said.

"Could it be Gilgamesh?" Yin Ze probed.

"That's not it. What he threw was not a Noble Phantasm. It's not that high-level."

"A Joan of Arc fanatic?"

"I'm not that ugly. I have a handsome voice after all." Shimazaki Nobunaga was dissatisfied. "The character is a bit sinister, and the plot is a bit sad. Do you understand?"

"A handsome high-class intellectual from the London Clock Tower."

"Oh, Heroic Spirit! Have you finished the game? Have you finished reading the novel? He is the Heroic Spirit among the seven major professions who is extremely mysterious, has a great figure, and is agile. Do you understand?" Shimazaki Nobunaga slammed the table.

"I understand. After all, I am a moon person who can go to the forum and fight with the combat party. Please continue." Yin Ze raised his hands.

"The sound director said I had to be very familiar with the series. I'm a Brahmin from the Moon and I know the classic lines by heart. Who doesn't know them? Then he let me start to play freely, like the scene of the Three Kings' Meeting. They were all assassins like Xiao Hei who ran out of Conan. It didn't matter if they were painted black, they also had to wear masks. The sound director wanted me to laugh, and all the extras started laughing. I just missed someone..."

“Pfft!” Matsuoka Yoshitsugu covered his mouth.

"What are you laughing at?" Shimazaki Nobunaga said expressionlessly.

"I remember happy things."

"What happy thing?"

"I am the main character." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu answered truthfully.

"puff--!"

"What are you laughing at?" Shimazaki Nobunaga looked at him coldly.

"I got a new job." Yin Ze answered truthfully.

"What new job?"

"Fate/Zero." Yin Ze sneered and counterattacked. At this moment, the real purpose was revealed and blood splattered everywhere. "It was a handsome guy with A+ speed and dual guns [Note: refers to the Fate/Zero character Diarmuid]."

As soon as these words came out, the Sixth Heavenly Demon King seemed to be struck by a thunderbolt and fell into a state of stiffness. Shimazaki Nobunaga stared at the man with wide eyes, looking at him in disbelief, his fingers trembling slightly. With the power of his Ex-level skill "Moon's Wisdom", he almost instantly thought of the setting and plot of the heroic spirit in the writing of a certain warrior of love as soon as he heard the man's description.

"Handsome guy with two guns? Pfft!" Shimazaki Nobunaga couldn't hold it in.

"Why are you laughing too?" Yin Ze asked with his head tilted.

"Of course, I'm happy for you." Shimazaki Nobunaga grinned, revealing his white and neat teeth.

Chapter 107 I have completely forgotten

It was a cloudless sunny day with a suitable temperature. His old canvas shoes fit his feet well and were comfortable. His steps were up and down, showing his good mood. Yin Ze was holding a bottle of happy water in his left hand, and his posture was a bit arrogant. He passed by the commercial street and turned around. He admired his figure and his flowing bangs in the bright reflective cabinet glass. The crows on the nearby telephone poles fell into the trash can. He was so showy that he looked like Peter Parker, the dark dance king [Note: Spider-Man] who was living in an alien parasite. He would twist his waist and swing his arms exaggeratedly when he walked.

The scenery is so beautiful on a sunny day, the flowers are red and the grass is green, I run forward happily, and I will never grow old even if I walk through the green mountains~

Then a very lossless tango music played in my mind, and the dancing became more rhythmic.

A bloody celebration, an absurd burning ball, the lights suddenly went out, and amid the exclamations of the crowd, the bizarre hunter bared his fangs, and the show had just begun~

Woohoo, take off.

Today is the day when the radio drama "Dream Tapir Girl" starts working. I have been working diligently and conscientiously for many days, and finally I can earn money by chatting with women again. It really pays off for those who work hard!

Standing at the door of the recording company, the man straightened his collar and walked in with a refreshing look. As the saying goes, interest is the best whip. He always arrives on time for dubbing, but he arrives half an hour early for broadcasting work unconsciously.

While greeting the staff, I met a familiar person. He was wearing the same gold-rimmed glasses and a mechanical watch that was hard to tell whether it was a street stall product or a high-end imitation. He could be said to be a copy of Kashiwai - the wise producer Moriki Hiroshi.

"Nice to meet you again. What a fate." The man extended his hand in greeting.

"Haha, you'll get used to it in the future. The industry is actually very small, and it's always the same people." The producer was also quite enthusiastic to give face, shaking hands and waving them up and down, "Just like this time, it's still you and Hidaka-chan who are partners. I hope you can work together seamlessly and in harmony like before."

"The lineup remains the same, but the status is different." Yin Ze smiled faintly, "If I remember correctly, I am the host this time. She is just an assistant, a deceptive print hanging, a useless paper box with empty tissues, and a lifeless and fake plastic potted plant."

"Ah, how can you say that to your senior? She is a girl after all." Upon hearing this, Moriki Hiroshi opened his mouth wide as if he had seen something extraordinary.

"Work is work. Since I'm in this position of controlling the show, I have to be responsible for the entire show. As a senior crosstalk lover and a high-level freeloader of talk shows, I have my own mature operating philosophy." Yin Ze's nose was raised high. "Usually, I can treat her as a little sister and give in to her a little, but once it comes to the serious recording, the fireworks are lit, the rolling is called, and the action is shouted, the guests have to listen to me as the host!"

"Isn't this bad? Isn't it a bit too strong?" Moriki Hiroshi was silent for a moment and said tactfully.

"The ancient sword is cold and dim, having been forged for thousands of years. The great and powerful men who opened up an era will always be misunderstood and slandered by others." Yin Ze sighed and shook his head.

"That's why you're wrong. We are advocating gender equality and building a harmonious society. Women hold up half the sky. How can you still think that women are weak and can't take on important responsibilities?" Moriki Hiroshi was sincere and anxious, trying to reason with this person. "Didn't Hidaka-chan do a good job as a host before? Have you forgotten those good times?"

Good, very good, almost watertight, so much so that even if I wanted to find a loophole to counterattack and persecute them, I would not be able to do so.

The man sneered secretly.

But this time it was different. The host's aura was enough to offset the prestige of the younger senior, and what was left was a fair fight of pure scheming.

"Mr. Morimu, there is no need to say more. Please hand over the process script as soon as possible. I will start thinking about tactics." Yin Ze said impatiently.

"I've given it to someone, and she took it to make a copy. Judging from the time, she should be back." Moriki Hiroshi said, rolling his eyes.

"Then let's wait a little longer..." Yin Ze nodded, but he was a little confused, "Why is the producer's eyes distracted and looking around? Are there any mosquitoes nearby?"
