Tokyo Soft Rice King

Hei Yuming spoke very clearly and Zi Zhigong listened carefully.

"What about Xiao Huang? Can you tell what Xiao Huang's problem is?"

"Hmm... I can't really put it into words... But I can sense that Xiao Huang's voice acting seems a bit... monotonous? Um, sorry, how dare an outsider like me comment on a professional voice actor like that..."

"No! You're right!"

Hei Yuming's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that Zi Zhigong could even discover such a detailed problem.

Is it the S-level Soul Performing that is making a difference?

Genius! This is genius!

"Xiao Huang's problem isn't her voice or her experience. There's actually nothing wrong with her dubbing, and her voice is just right. If you let a hundred people listen to it, they'd all agree it's fine. So where does the monotony you perceive come from?"

Zi Zhigong was completely attracted by Hei Yuming's words. Her curiosity was completely aroused, and Hei Yuming's affirmation gave her greater confidence.

He said he had no problem!

“The answer is lack of passion!”

"I guess Xiao Huang's voice actor is also a very professional veteran with many years of experience, but she herself probably has no interest in this animation, so she failed to fully understand the character's deeper personality. As a result, although her voice acting is fine, it fails to touch the character's soul."

"If she herself were the audience for this animation, it would probably give people the feeling of 'that's her!' But unfortunately, this professional voice actor is just doing her job. Although this is not a problem, a capable director would probably find it a bit regrettable."

"Many times, whether a character's voice acting has soul or not is just a matter of lacking that little bit of passion...so in this industry, it's a blessing to be able to get a job you enjoy."

Zi Zhigong looked at Hei Yuming with great admiration.

"Mingjun, you are so amazing..."

"Ah……"

How many years do you think I've been watching anime?

I am an old 2D fan!

Chapter 67 I Want Him to Look Only at Me

However, Kuroba Akira did not analyze the voice actors behind these characters for Murasaki no Miyabi just to show off or flaunt his credentials as a 2D Brahmin.

There are many animations broadcast during the prime time of 8 pm. Kuroba Akira specifically chose Xingmei because the three main characters of this animation happen to be the three stages in the career path of female voice actors.

The new pink, professional blue, and experienced yellow correspond to the three levels: entry-level newcomer (beginner), mainstay (intermediate), and industry leader (advanced).

This was the three-stage 'imaginary enemy' he had prepared for the Purple Palace.

Although fame can only be accumulated slowly, your ability as a voice actor can be accumulated from now on. You must first improve your proficiency in dubbing.

There may be shortcuts to becoming a professional, but if you don’t have the hard power, you will soon be stepped on by stronger people.

Your own strength can only be improved through a lot of practice, mastering the dubbing skills by yourself, understanding the character's psychology, and then interpreting the role with your heart.

Hard work may not necessarily lead to success, but it will never betray yourself.

"Ziyin, your first assignment is to complete these three characters, that is, to fill in the gaps in their voice acting."

"Hey? Let me finish it?"

Zi Zhigong pointed at himself and asked back in a non-confident and disbelieving tone.

"Yes, now that you know where the problems with the dubbing of these three characters lie, the next step is to solve these problems."

In the morning, Kuroba Akira said that she should first train her lung capacity, so Murasakimiya thought that the initial training would just be pronunciation exercises or something, but she didn't expect that she would have to solve the shortcomings of the three voice actors right away.

It's like saying: Great! You've learned the syllabary, go and try for the Akutagawa Prize!

Even the newcomer Little Pink, who he criticized for having a poor voice acting, is still a professional voice actor!

But I'm not even a newbie, not even a trainee...

Hei Yuming saw through her uneasiness and encouraged her seriously.

"Don't be timid, and don't think you're necessarily inferior to them. The only difference between you and them is 'experience'. In terms of talent, you're far superior to them."

Just one sentence dispelled all the self-doubt in Zi Zhigong's heart.

She may not be able to believe in herself yet, but she is willing to believe in Hei Yuming who brought her home.

"...Yes! I'll do my best!"

Zi Zhigong clenched his fists and placed them in front of his chest, and there was no inferiority in his eyes anymore.

That’s right, trust the wise ruler.

He chose me!

"Very good, that's the vibe. Then watch the episode again. This time, you'll need to follow the dialogue. Just pick a character you think you can emulate."

When watching the animation just now, Kuroba Ming did not forget to take notes. This is what everyone in Japan does. They will record the TV programs they want to watch and watch them repeatedly.

After all, copyright awareness is very strong here, and we cannot watch the works we want to watch freely on the Internet like in the past.

I don’t have the resources!

"First of all, it's not enough to just watch it once. You have to watch it repeatedly until you've mastered all three roles. It's best to memorize all the lines as well."

Kuroba Akira further explained the importance of memorizing lines.

"Because later on you will also encounter many situations where you need to read the lines on the spot and then audition. Many times, poor performances are caused by insufficient preparation and not remembering the lines well. So, in addition to dubbing, you also need to strengthen your memory."

"I understand. I'll memorize the lines first."

"Although watching the same episode over and over again is a boring and tedious process, we have limited resources now, so this is the only way."

"I'm fine. I can watch it a hundred times."

"Okay, start by learning and imitating, then make adjustments. I'll clearly tell you the direction of adjustment, and then you need to find the feeling yourself."

"Ok."

Hearing that Hei Yuming would also be there to help, Zi Zhigong felt relieved.

As long as you do what the wise ruler says, you will never go wrong!

"Very good, then this plan will be called the 'Shilipo Voice Actor Development Plan'!"

"Shilipo...?"

The completely unfamiliar words that she had never heard of before made Zi Zhigong tilt her head.

"You can understand it as, if you don't make a name for yourself, you'll be nothing. But if you do, you'll make a splash and everyone will take notice. Your debut is the pinnacle of your career. Just me acknowledging you isn't enough; you need everyone to recognize you."

"……Yes!"

"Finally, let's set a simple 'graduation goal'. If you audition with these three voice actors, you must have the ability to snatch these three roles from them."

Murasakimiya imagined the scene of herself going to the audition with these three senior voice actors. The reality of competing on the same stage with professional voice actors hit her, and she suddenly felt nervous.

"To be frank, I want you to surpass them. After all, you are the one I chose. How can you be worse than them?"

"Yes! I will definitely surpass them!"

Zi Zhigong, who had never made such a big statement before, also made a bold statement at this time.

As long as he becomes a professional voice actor, makes a lot of money, and then shares it with Mingjun, it will prove that his vision is correct!

Make sure he's proud of being chosen!

"But don't worry, I won't really make you watch it a hundred times. Later I will find a way to get some money to rent more animations for you to refer to. For now, just make do with this."

Even if Zizhigong Ziyin is a genius, it will still require a certain amount of money and time to make this thigh thicker.

For example, she needs to rent CDs to watch various types of animations, so that she can get to know more representative characters, broaden her horizons, and fully develop her talents in acting and voice.

Before, Kuroba Ming was still worried about where to get the start-up capital, but the literature and art department just happened to start a private competition to create light novels.

As long as he beats Shirai Shiori, he can recruit Moe Aisono as his exclusive illustrator, and then he can make money by writing light novels.

Speaking of money, Shizumiya also remembered the 10,000 yen that Kuroba Ming gave her.

Because her gymnastics uniform's super short leggings had no pockets, she folded the remaining money and put it inside her top. As long as she tucked the bottom of her top into her pants, it wouldn't fall out.

Now she wanted to return the remaining money to Hei Yuming, so she pulled out the shirt.

Hei Yuming thought she was going to take off her clothes and was shocked, but it turned out that Shizumiya only revealed her flat belly, slender waist and cute belly button, and didn't take off any more clothes.

This willow waist is really exquisite. It must look beautiful when it is twisted. I even want to touch it... But you can't touch the girl's belly.

As soon as he thought of this, Zi Zhigong pulled Hei Yuming's hand and let him touch her belly.

Oh, it’s so smooth... No, it seems a bit rough?

Hei Yuming looked carefully and found that what was blocking his touch were three banknotes.

Zi Zhigong said with his head down, pointing at his index finger.

"Mingjun, this is the 10,000 yen you gave me. I have some left after buying things..."

Zi Zhigong saved the money carefully because he wanted to hear Hei Yuming's praise, such as praising her for being virtuous.

Mom loves to hear those words, and she also wants to hear Hei Yuming say them to her.

"Oh, there are still some left?"

Originally, Hei Yuming was worried that she would spend money recklessly, so he wanted to take her to the convenience store, but now it seems that his worry was unnecessary.

After buying some daily necessities, I still had 3,000 yen left.

She is not too good at spending, but too good at saving.

Hei Yuming did not accept the three banknotes with the girl's body fragrance, but stuffed them back into Zi Zhigong's hand.

"But you should spend when you need to. Now is the stage where I am investing in you, so there is no need for you to be so frugal. Saving money is not something you should consider."

After confirming that Zi Zhigong was not a young lady who spent money lavishly, Hei Yuming felt that he had made a good deal.

There's no need to keep this little money for yourself. You can't buy anything with it anyway. The lunch boxes at the convenience store are definitely not as delicious as the monitor's homemade lunch boxes.

Although she didn't receive any praise, Shizumiya was still very happy that Hei Yuming was willing to let her continue using the money.

"Then...can I use it to buy milk?"

"Whatever you want, no need to ask me, but why do you like drinking milk so much?"

"Mmm, milk tastes good."

In fact, Zi Zhigong had never been interested in milk before. The bottle of milk that Hei Yuming gave her made her feel for the first time that milk could be so delicious.

But the more important reason was... in the morning, Kuroba Akira stared at the two lumps of flesh of the athletic girl Tomita Haruka.

I'm in a bad mood.

I don't want him to look at other women...

Suddenly I had this idea.

Therefore, I need to drink more milk, at least to become bigger than Haruka Tomita.

This way he will only look at himself!

Chapter 68: The Time Traveler is Not Afraid of Suffering

After providing Zi Zhigong with training plans and goals, Hei Yuming also started his own work.

Hei Yuming took out a plate of chilled watermelon from the refrigerator and returned to the second floor and came to the door of Hijikata Isamu's room.

"Hijikata-san! Hijikata-san! It's night! Time to get up!"

Hei Yuming knocked on the door without any hesitation. The main reason was that if he didn't knock like that, there would be no way to wake up Hijikata Isamu who was sleeping like a dead pig.

Because of his experience as a corporate slave, Hei Yuming understands the feeling of not wanting to open your eyes again after closing them, walking on the edge of sudden death, not knowing when it will end.

I'm really worried about Hijikata-san's health... He's traveled through time and space and gained a chance to live a new life, but is he going to work himself to death again?

I don’t know how Hijikata-san died in his previous life. It would be so sad if he died of overwork like me.

After knocking for a while, Hei Yuming heard a loud bang and a drooping cry from inside the room, so he stopped knocking.

From the sound, I knew that Hijikata-san was probably awake, but his mind wasn't clear yet, and he must have accidentally hit his knee or little toe when he stood up.
