Tokyo Sound

"Alas, I have done my best, but it seems that the power bestowed by heaven has completely blinded your mind, and even your biological instincts have become dulled." Moriki Hiro finally sighed softly.

Yin Ze sniffed lightly, and there was a faint baking aroma in the air. With his memory skills, he recognized it in seconds. It was undoubtedly oatmeal raisin cookies. The maker had also explained to him with great interest that the recipe was shared by a Michelin three-star chef. The ingredients were precise, the trial and error cost was low, and it was simple and easy to use. The maker was overjoyed and brought the first batch of his life to the set. He had tasted it before and greedily ate a lot of it.

As Moriki Hiroshi's eyes changed from sadness to expectation, the man was silent for half a second, then turned around nonchalantly and looked at the high school girl with a schoolbag who was approaching him quietly from behind.

Hidaka Rina is wearing a student uniform today, which is not like casual wear but better than casual wear.

After many days of looking around on the streets, Yin Ze also has some experience. Most of the junior high schools in Japan are mainly sailor suits, with a square shape and youthful vitality. By the way, novices only look at pleated skirts, but experts like him focus on the white belly that is inadvertently exposed. The high school is mainly Western-style, mature and stable, but also smart.

The younger senior is not wearing a western-style coat today, but a camisole. A cyan shirt, a dark sleeveless wool cardigan, a long plaid skirt, and white ankle socks. A short ponytail that never goes out of style, a playful and serious look. Only for concealer effect, a light makeup that is almost bare-faced. A standard good girl with a clear student style. With the camera sense and smile management that she has trained through film and television dramas, she directly pulled a reflector on the spot to shoot the magazine cover, and it is not wrong to pause this golden age at this moment.

"What were you discussing just now?" Hidaka Rina blinked her eyes and asked a question that she knew the answer to, thus confessing herself.

"When did the senior come?" Yin Ze snorted and asked calmly.

"I came over when you were shaking hands with Mr. Moriki."

“It turns out that it was already there when the story began.”

"Yes, I also need to understand your operating philosophy in advance. Please rest assured, I am not the kind of person who only wants to be in the limelight and does not understand the overall situation. At work, I will always follow the lead of my juniors, oh no, the host, and fulfill the duties of a deputy 100, and highlight the host's power in all aspects." Hidaka Rina bowed.

"Hey, with our relationship, there's no need for the main or deputy position. Let's discuss it." Yin Ze paused, then laughed and bowed to return the greeting.

“No, no, no, once the show starts, even the investors will have to listen to you.” Hidaka Rina bent down again.

"It's not that we are estranged, it's not that we are estranged." Yin Ze bent down again.

"No matter where you are, the strong are destined to be misunderstood and slandered."

"If my relatives and friends ask me, my heart is as pure as ice in a jade pot. My heart is still as pure as the ice in the jade pot, and has not been tainted by fame, wealth and other worldly affairs."

"You really do it with ease, Junior-kun."

"The bird sings in vain, seeking the voice of its friend. It is only seeking the friendship of the beautiful and good predecessors."

"That's not what you said to Mr. Moriki."

"Voice actors and voice actors are friends because they share the same interests, and managers and producers are friends because they share the same interests. How can we just say it in one sentence?"

"What nonsense you are talking about, Junior-kun."

The broadcasting duo were bickering with each other, and it seemed that they had completely entered working mode.

Moriki Hiroshi saw the expected chemical reaction, nodded with satisfaction, and took out his camera to take a picture while no one was paying attention. As we all know, it is easier to create a masterpiece by taking a candid photo than by posing one. Although there is only one piece of material on hand, this picture "The Wind Rises, the Dream Tapir Resurrects the Radio Drama, Takizawa Bows His Head and Pays Homage to Lord Hidaka Ozawa" has great potential to be the cover picture!

"Don't argue for now, keep some cards in your hand, or you'll be speechless when the show starts." Moriki Hiroshi stepped forward to mediate out of a sense of responsibility for the show and the care for the audience, "Keep your emotions in check and get into the studio quickly."

The producer pushed the two men into the familiar interrogation room with a square table, two chairs, headphones and a microphone, just like herding ducks.

The staff walked back and forth through the glass, debugging the equipment.

Hidaka Rina and Yin Ze sat properly, looking at each other in silence.

"No cookies today." The girl said indifferently.

"I can smell it." The man couldn't help but say.

"Oh, to be exact, there are no cookies for you," the girl added.

"Haha, it's okay, I brought my own snacks." The man calmly took out the Alps pineapple-flavored gummy candy from his arms and slowly began to peel off the wrapper, "Do you want some candy?"

"No, I'm trying to prevent tooth decay lately." The girl declined.

"Then I can't even eat the cookies?" The man was stunned. "What a pity. I made it myself, but I can't eat it myself."

"It's not meant for me to eat." The girl said calmly.

"Who is that for?"

"It's not for you anyway."

"I understand. You can't taste it yourself, but you still took the trouble to bring it here. You probably want others to give you their opinions." The man smiled. "I have tasted three versions made by you so far. I think you are the one with the most say here. If there is really no other way, there is no harm in tasting it..."

"I've already told you, there's no place for you."

"What are you talking about? There are obviously a lot of them."

"For someone else."

"Which other person?"

"New friend."

"Senior, have you forgotten the old ones for the new ones? Who risked diarrhea to help you taste your new works?" Yin Ze widened his eyes in disbelief.

"I don't have any more creative new snacks, and I won't have stomach upsets anymore. I just want to study delicious recipes in peace, so there's no need to fool or remember honest people." Hidaka Rina said softly.

"What?! An honest person should be abandoned?! What kind of nonsense is this!"

"No, the younger generation is not an honest person, but a treacherous person with a smooth tongue. Then what I did can be regarded as eliminating harm for society."

"I don't care, just bring the cookies over here, I want to eat them now!"

"No, there's no more for you...Ahhh! Come and see! There's a guy here who doesn't cheat but robs!"

"It's cooked to perfection, has a mellow flavor, and an endless aftertaste. It can be called the culmination of my work to date. It's sad and lamentable that as the original guinea pig, all my sacrifices have been for the benefit of others. I must repay this humiliation! Let's start by eating up this box of biscuits and leaving that guy with nothing to eat!" Yin Ze gobbled down the food in swift succession.

"Don't just focus on eating. Tell me if there's anything that can be improved." Hidaka Rina looked at Ikemune's rough eating habits, feeling disgusted but unable to help but moving her chair closer.

"Taste?" Yin Ze was stunned. "It's delicious, but I've forgotten half of the detailed parameters."

Hidaka Rina held her forehead with her hand, watching the other person trying to recall, and waited patiently for more than ten seconds, "What about now?"

"I have forgotten most of it." Yin Ze frowned.

Hidaka Rina suppressed her dissatisfaction and waited for more than ten seconds, "What now?"

"I have forgotten it completely!" Yin Ze opened his eyes wide, as excited as if he had achieved great success.

"Are you a pig or a fish? I spent so much effort to make this box! But there is no detailed feedback at all!"

"It's okay, just come back next time."

“There won’t be a next time!”

"How sad and lamentable. As the original guinea pig, all my sacrifices were to benefit others. I must repay this humiliation, starting with the next biscuit snatch... Ouch!" The tape recorder was forced to adopt the defensive mode of holding his head on the table halfway through his speech.

Crack, crack, crack.

This is the sound of a young girl angrily slapping a customer who was eating out too much on the shoulder.

I told you to save some, save some, and then finish playing the cards in the next round when it officially starts.

Sen Muhong beat his chest and stamped his feet, sighing and feeling that he had suffered a great loss at Liu Laolao's house.

Chapter 108 Cloud Theory Master

"Test, hello? One, two, three, four? Hello? One, two..." said a magnetic voice.

"What are you doing, Takizawa-kun! It has officially begun!" said a pleasant voice.

"It's on now? How come there's no sign at all? Don't they even play the OP on the headphones? I'm still testing the mic. Never mind, I'll ask Brother Morimu to cut this part out later."

After a flurry of noise.

"Talk about the moral Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the fame of Xiahou Shang and Zhou, the Five Hegemons and Seven Heroes in the Spring and Autumn Period, the rise and fall in an instant, the bluestone has a few lines of names, the Beimang has countless barren hills, the predecessors sow and the descendants reap, what is the fight between dragons and tigers. Hey! Brothers and sisters from all corners of the world, good morning, noon and evening. Finally, with the anticipation of hundreds of people and the excitement of hundreds of people, "The Dream Tapir Girl Will Not Eat the Radio" is officially launched today!"

The man gave an opening speech, shaking his head.

"Our original animation "Dream Tapir Girl" is also on air. Don't miss it every Thursday. Watching an episode before bedtime will help you sleep. You may also encounter a mysterious superpower girl like me. First of all, let me introduce myself. I am the host, Takizawa Satoru."

"I'm assistant Hidaka Rina." The girl answered at the right time and stared at him after she finished speaking.

There was a mysterious silence.

"——He is also the voice actor of Qiuyue Mingmeng." The girl couldn't help coughing and added.

"Oh yes, I'm also the voice actor of Fujigen Kai." The man woke up as if from a dream.

"...It's okay, Mr. Host, you're a little nervous? You look very excited?" the girl teased.

"I'm happy because a new and fulfilling program has been born, and I'm nervous because I have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of being the helmsman of this big ship." The man snorted and showed a frivolous smile, "Assistant, can you keep up with my speed?"

"I will try my best. I hope I won't be stuffed into the trunk and refrigerated because I'm too cumbersome." The girl promised solemnly.

"Okay, let's use these 20 minutes to turn it into a delicious dish and present it to you all!" the man said.

The two-second-long cheerful interlude tune sounded accurately.

"Welcome to "The Dream Tapir Girl Won't Eat the Radio". Let's strike while the iron is hot and listen to the audience's voices." The man sifted through the envelopes piled up on the table like snowflakes, and couldn't help but sigh, "Although this is the first time, we have already started collecting letters in advance. I didn't expect to receive so many submissions. I am really flattered. Then let's read the first one first."

"A letter from the name of the broadcaster 'Batman Rival', hello, Mr. Takizawa, Ms. Hidaka. I have been paying special attention to this show since the official announcement of the project. The protagonist's sense of nothingness is very cool, and it is also enviable that he can casually meet beautiful girls with different characteristics. The most important thing is that he can always be involved in strange events. To be honest, in order to become a special existence like the 'protagonist', I work hard every day. There is no need to say much about the physical fitness. Push-ups 20/5 sets, sit-ups 20/5 sets, squats 20/5 sets, Then I run 10 kilometers every day! In terms of knowledge, the current deviation value is 68. It stands to reason that my individual quality has reached the standard, but I have not yet reached the day of transformation into a butterfly and advancement to the extraordinary. I think I must be missing some kind of opportunity, right? For example, I picked up a mysterious woman on the way home. Mr. Takizawa, who also stands out among the young people, how can I encounter opportunities and become the "protagonist"? ——Wow, it's actually a topic of life talk. Even if it's just simple words, I can feel his fiery fighting spirit. "

I didn’t expect the first letter to be so rigorous and profound.

The man put the letter down after reading it, and frowned as if feeling a little stressed.

"The deviation value is 68. I'm so envious." Hidaka Rina agreed with him. "But he still thinks about these things extra. Alas, it turns out that growing up as a boy is a complicated thing. What do you think, Takizawa-kun? I'm asking you seriously. How can I get an opportunity? How can I become the protagonist?"

"what chance?"

"It's like I met a mysterious woman on my way home."

"We live in a society ruled by law now. If you find someone fainted on the street, you must call the police," the man said with certainty.

"It's too cruel. There's no way to develop the story and secure the position of the protagonist this way." Hidaka Rina shook her head in disappointment.

"I don't want to go to jail more than to sit firmly in the protagonist's chair. As for the protagonist..." Yin Ze pondered, with endless mysteries blooming and disappearing in his mind. Finally, he raised his firm eyes, his voice full of positive energy, "Everyone is the protagonist of his own life!"

"This answer is too universal!" Hidaka Rina expressed her disapproval.

"My assistant is still too young. Do you really think that the content of this letter is just a simple obsession born in the second grade of junior high school? No, on the contrary, what this 'Batman's rival' classmate asked me is one of the ultimate propositions of human civilization. Humph, money and glory? Birth and fall? Reason and emotion? Creation and destruction? They all pale in comparison to the question of 'Why do people live?'"

Yin Ze spoke slowly and leisurely, as if reciting an ancient poem.

"Marriage? Family? Career? Aren't these just excuses to explain another reason for living, making it sound more grand and magnificent. In my humble opinion, what people pursue throughout their lives is nothing more than their true self, their living self, and being themselves. And this is exactly what the letter mentioned, 'how to become the protagonist'. It's rare. I didn't expect that you have such knowledge and vision when you are only in high school. You definitely have a promising future. You gave me the answer, but you asked me to give the process of getting the answer. The intention of submitting this article is a bit sinister. But it doesn't matter. Smart people are all cunning."

"Yes, is that what you mean?" Hidaka Rina was stunned, half believing and half doubting.

"My fellow student Batman Rival, I believe you also know that there is more than one road to Rome, so my explanation may not be suitable for you, but it can be used as a reference." Yin Ze crossed his fingers, "Try to become a slash boy, that is, on the surface, you are an active male high school student, but in fact you are a writer of painful literature, or a flower artist, or a shadow swinger in the underage baseball world... Multiple and multi-layered identities can allow you to appreciate and analyze the world from different angles, and use your only life to live multiple paths. In time, you will definitely gain some insights."

"Wouldn't it be a bit tedious to try to do so many things at once?" Hidaka Rina interrupted.

"Ordinary people can't do it, but elites are different." Yin Ze said patiently, "Since the students of 'Batman Rival' have a knowledge level of 68 deviations and a healthy body, they basically meet the prerequisites for this integration. Don't just laugh, there is a reason for this behavior. To give a simple example, in light novels, how many high school protagonists are really just high school students? Who is not a detective thief in private? He started out as a hacker at the level of an urban legend. From a creative perspective, multiple identities can extend more twists and turns in the story, making it easier to create conflicts with daily life. From a realistic perspective, multiple identities also greatly expand the social aspect. Imagine if you were not a voice actor, you would be in a study session now. How could you have the honor of sitting in the front row and listening to my high-sounding speech on evolving from ordinary to extraordinary?"

"Oh, it looks just like the real thing, but have you ever put it into practice yourself?" asked Rina Hidaka.

"Of course, being a voice actor is just my hobby, and updating the account status is my main job." Yin Ze folded his arms, "I have always been indifferent to fame and fortune. I am actually a fellow student of Fujino Shinya, who won the Akutagawa Prize not long ago. I also had dinner and tea with the famous mystery writer Katsutaka Ayako. I don't tell these to outsiders."

"It's okay, everyone has heard your nonsense now." Hidaka Rina continued to appreciate his solo Rakugo, wanting to see what else he could do.

"This is my summary of experience, and anyone who understands will understand it. I hope 'Batman's Rival' understands it and gives me applause from afar..." The man took a sip of water.

At this time, the producer held up a sign with some twisted black words written in a flamboyant style.

"Next"

"That makes sense. Then let's listen to the next audience member's voice." Hidaka Rina was too dedicated. She quickly silenced the host as soon as she received the instructions and picked up the second letter irresistibly.

"I received a letter from the broadcaster named 'The Match That Stole Mitsuhide'. Hello, Mr. Takizawa and Ms. Hidaka. I had a familiar feeling when I watched the first episode of Yume-no-Maki. When the CV table came out, I found out that it was indeed the two of you. I have to say that your skills are really good. The changes in your voice and tone make people unsure. It's a pity that you two are obviously the male and female protagonists, but there are not many scenes in the animation. I really want to continue to watch the two of you interact. Just when I was feeling regretful, the broadcast plan appeared, and I immediately followed the official account and submitted my work. I would like to ask here, has your friendship improved?"

"what?"

The host and the assistant both looked a little confused.

This is so strange, isn't this an animation extension broadcast? Why aren't we discussing the plot instead of caring about the friendship of the voice actors?

The man hummed and pondered for a second, then he understood.

"Oh, this audience must be interested in animation production, so he must be interested in the voice actors who work behind the scenes. As for my friendship with my assistant, he must be asking whether the communication between colleagues of the opposite sex in this industry is different from that in the general industry, right?"

The man smiled confidently.

"It's a very special entry point. But I may disappoint you, because there is nothing special about it. In fact, it's not like working in a fixed office building and punching in. The colleagues in various agencies always have to rush to random filming sites, so it's hard for voice actors to get together with a group for a long time, oh, except for the annual animation series. Anyway, newcomers have to run around, and they have to think about their lines during the breaks between work. The recording studio is quiet and there won't be much chatting, so it's harder to make friends here than in ordinary workplaces."

"As for me and my assistant, the situation is quite special. First of all, it's because of work. We bump into each other frequently, including on-site activities and broadcasting, which give us more room for communication. So we got to know each other over time. We are now familiar with each other and can chat casually when we meet on the set. In other words, it's a very common workplace friendship."

The man felt that he had covered everything, so he picked up the third letter.

Alas, it is obvious that Yin’s previous success theory was more valuable, but it was unfortunately interrupted.

When the producer saw that he was trying to jump over, he quickly picked up the pen and wrote a few big words vigorously and held it high.

"Keep going, step it up."

But Moriki Hiroshi's vision was too narrow, because before he interfered off the court, his assistant, who had always been well-behaved, had already made his move.
