I'm surrounded by women.

Just like a blooming Epiphyllum, after its splendor, it disappears.

After completing the dubbing of a phenomenal anime, Bai Cangjian disappeared.

Rumor has it that the last time Bai Cangjian was seen was at the airport, and at that time, Bai Cangjian seemed to be holding a baby in his arms.

Mori Minami felt that there should be no connection between Katori Genzakura and Bai Cangjian, but after seeing Katori Genzakura's sudden change in temperament at this moment, she could feel that there seemed to be some characteristics in Katori Genzakura that made her still associate her with Bai Cangjian after so many years.

Chapter 39 Kita Ikuyo: Please only look at me for the rest of your life!

Recording studio, dubbing area.

After everything was ready, that is, when the dubbing officially began, the main storyline of "It Will Be You" was mostly unfolded from Koito Yu's perspective.

So the first line of the first episode also started with Kita Ikuyo.

Before starting the dubbing, Ikuyo Kita was very nervous because she had to read the first line. So when she was in the preparation area just now, especially after Katori Genzakura left, Ikuyo Kita was so nervous that her hands couldn't stop shaking.

All things are difficult at the beginning. Can you really do a good job with your level?

In addition, while preparing in the preparation area, Kita Ikuyo also heard Wakaba Mutsu whispering his lines.

Kita Ikuyo also met Wakaba Mutsu for the first time today, and had never heard of Wakaba Mutsu's audition submission before.

When Kita Ikuyo heard Wakaba Mutsu's dubbing practice for the first time, she felt a strong sense of contrast. The seemingly taciturn Wakaba Mutsu actually had such a high talent for dubbing?!

After feeling such a huge gap between herself and Wakaba Mutsu, Kita Ikuyo became more nervous. If her dubbing level could not surpass Wakaba Mutsu, would she be eliminated by Wakaba Mutsu in the future?

From then on, Wakaba Mutsu became Katori Genzakura's new partner and engaged in yuri business with Katori Genzakura.

Just thinking about such a result made Kita Ikuyo feel that it was more painful than killing herself!

It was just when Katori Genzakura came back, when Katori Genzakura stood by his side again.

Kita Ikuyo clearly felt that the anxiety and tension in her heart had miraculously disappeared?!

At this moment, I am standing in the dubbing area with the script in my hand.

When faced with the first line she read out, Kita Ikuyo did not feel nervous at all. She immersed herself in the role of Koito Yu and said the first line of "Becoming You".

"Whether it's a shojo manga or love song lyrics, they're all so dazzling to me. But... I can't touch them no matter what. I understand their meaning without even looking them up in a dictionary, but they won't become my own."

After reading the first line, Kita Ikuyo subconsciously looked at Katori Genzakura who was standing next to her. When she saw Katori Genzakura's approving eyes, Kita Ikuyo was filled with confidence and continued reading according to the script.

……

Outside the dubbing area, Ijichi Hoshika also nodded in praise and said:

"I was thinking about letting Kita Ikuyo, a new voice actor who had never participated in a formal dubbing before, voice Koito Yuu. Wasn't that a bit too risky?

After all, whether in the original manga or the script, Koito Yu has a lot of lines. How to master the emotional transitions between each plot requires a lot of practice for newcomers.

Moreover, the voice actors of the protagonists are not as tolerant as the voice actors of the supporting roles. For the voice actors of the supporting roles, even if there is a slight mistake, they can make up for it.

But it’s different for the voice actors of the protagonists. Once there are too many mistakes, even if the voice actor list has been finalized, as long as there is no official announcement, they will be eliminated at any time and replaced by more capable voice actors.

The voice acting industry isn't a place to pursue your dreams, it's a business...

But no matter what, Kita Ikuyo's current performance is very good, and it makes me look forward to the next performance of Katori Gen Sakura and Wakaba Mutsu.

The storyline where Koito Yuu discovers that Nanami Touko has been confessed to is coming up soon. Can Katori Genzakura handle this storyline?"

"I think Katori-sensei will be fine!"

Bundate Mie said confidently that after listening to Katori Genzakura's audition submission, she concluded that if Katori Genzakura debuted as a voice actor, she would definitely become a popular phenomenal idol voice actor!

After saying this, Bundate Mie looked around and finally found Mori Minami in a corner, who had been hiding there since a while ago to avoid being seen by Katori Genzakura.

Confused about Mori Minami, who was playing hide-and-seek, Bundate Mihui approached her and asked cautiously:

"Ms. Sammi, are you okay?"

"Eh? Me? It's okay, it's okay. I just don't want to disturb these three promising young voice actors with my presence, so I'll just hide for a while.

After all, even though I've retired from the entertainment industry, as long as the name of Mori Minami is mentioned, there will still be many young children who know me, the once most popular female star in Japan, right? "

After Mori Minami finished speaking, she proudly lifted her hair and spoke confidently.

Seeing that Minami Mori looked no different from usual, Bundate Mie knew that she was worrying too much. She smiled awkwardly and went back to the preparation area to continue watching Katori Gensakura and the others' dubbing.

After Bundate Mie left, the smug smile on Mori Minami's face disappeared instantly. She took out her mobile phone, pointed the camera at Katori Genzakura, and started recording the video.

There is complete sound insulation between the preparation area and the dubbing area, but in the preparation area you can hear the voice actors' dubbing and see their performance during dubbing.

Minami Mori wants to record Katori Genzakura's appearance and voice when she does the dubbing next time.

"Yuan Ying, let me see, are there any similarities between you and Bai Cang Jian?"

Minami Mori stared at Katori Genzakura in the dubbing area and thought secretly in her heart.

……

"Nanami-san, please...date me!"

The plot soon came to the part where Touko Nanami was confessed. The voice of the classmate who confessed to Touko Nanami was recorded in advance. After listening to it, Katori Gensakura also built up her emotions and slowly opened her mouth, saying the first official voice actor dubbing lines after her reincarnation.

"Sorry, I won't date you."

"I see... That's true. I'm not worthy of Nanami-san at all."

"Don't say that. Don't belittle yourself. I just... no matter who confesses to me, I have no intention of dating him."

After Katori Genzakura finished this line, her beautiful eyes looked at Kita Ikuyo, especially the starry left eye of Katori Genzakura, which seemed to be shining with the bright light of stars.

"Okay, uh… who's there?"

Facing the first dialogue interaction between herself and Katori Genzakura, Kita Ikuyo was nervous, but more of it was anticipation and excitement. She quickly changed her mood and said in coordination with the lines:

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to eavesdrop, I just couldn't leave even though I wanted to… I'm sorry!"

At this time, Katori Genzakura suddenly leaned forward towards Kita Ikuyo, and the distance between them suddenly became very close.

Katori Genzakura's sudden move to get closer made Kita Ikuyo's cheeks blush subconsciously, and her heartbeat accelerated again, not because of nervousness, but because Katori Genzakura's face was right in front of her!

Just because Yuan Ying's face is right in front of me, my heart beats faster!

Katori Genzakura gently placed her finger on her lips and said to Kita Ikuyo with a smile:

"Please keep what happened just now a secret."

Kita Ikuyo finally came to her senses. Katori Genzakura's sudden action of closing the distance had no other meaning. It was just to imitate a scene in the plot.

Kita Ikuyo felt a little disappointed at first, then she said to herself secretly:

'Gen Ying is such a beautiful girl, someone will definitely confess to her in the future.

If one day in the future I happen to hear someone confessing to Yuan Ying, will I say similar words as I do now?

No... Just thinking about Yuan Ying being confessed to by someone else in the future makes me feel so uncomfortable!

I want to be Yuanying's lifelong partner. If possible, I also hope that Yuanying's eyes...will only look at me for the rest of her life.'

Katori Genzakura immersed herself in the dubbing performance.

Kita Ikuyo blushed shyly and her heart beat faster because Katori Genzakura suddenly got closer to her.

Wakaba Mutsu, who had no lines for a while, stood by and watched the interaction between Katori Genzakura and Kita Ikuyo in silence.

"My mom always said that being a voice actor is something to be happy about. But why do I feel that being a voice actor is not fun at all now?"

As Wakaba Mutsu looked at Katori Gensakura and Kita Ikuyo interacting with each other, a complex emotion arose in his heart.

Chapter 40 Precocious

The plot of "It Will Be You" unfolds from the perspective of Koito Yu, so under normal circumstances, the person who dominates the dubbing is Kita Ikuyo.

But after the dubbing of the first episode was completed, everyone present had one thought in their minds - the person who led the dubbing of this entire episode was not Kita Ikuyo, but Katori Gensakura!

"Has this kid ever been an idol voice actor?"

After watching Katori Genzakura's voice acting performance throughout the entire episode, Ijichi Hoshika couldn't help but applaud while sighing:

"In the first episode, there weren't many plot points suitable for voice actors to shine, but for some reason, Katori Gensakura's voice acting was able to capture people's hearts easily.

If she were on the stage now instead of in the recording studio, she would definitely be the most eye-catching focus on the stage.

It's like he was born to be an idol voice actor.

Whether in the dubbing studio or on the stage, she can always be the most attractive center."

"Perhaps, Katori-sensei's greatest strength is how to attract a person's attention?

If an idol stands on the stage, he or she must face all viewing angles and show his or her cute side to the audience no matter where they are.

So when the voice actors are in the recording studio, they just need to make their voice actors attractive enough. It’s just like filming a music video.”

Bunkan Mihui said with a smile, and clapped her hands for Katori Genzakura. She felt that she had really found a treasure this time!

"They're actually using the same feeling as when filming a music video for dubbing and stage performances... Times have really changed." Ijichi Hoshika said with emotion.

"Don't make yourself sound so old. You just graduated from college not long ago. We are about the same age. If you keep saying things like you are old, then won't I look old too?" Bunkan Mihui said sarcastically.

"I don't care what you think. I'm just expressing my own feelings. Ever since I graduated from college, I've felt that time flies more and more. If I don't cherish time, I might be 30 in the blink of an eye." Yiji Zhixingge said.

"Suddenly I feel the atmosphere has become very heavy..." Bunkan Mihui curled the corners of her mouth, then looked at Mori Minami who was hiding in a corner not far away.

But what I saw was an unexpected scene.

For some reason, Minami Mori was looking towards the dubbing area while letting tears roll down her cheeks.

Minami Mori, are you crying?!

Bunkan Mihui thought she was seeing things, but when she walked over, she found that she was not seeing things, Mori Minami was indeed crying!

Although the situation was a bit awkward, Bunkan Meihui had no choice but to ask cautiously, "Um...Ms. Morimi, are you okay?"

Mori Minami came to her senses and realized her gaffe. There was nothing she could do about it, because from the moment Katori Genzakura said the first line, Mori Minami had the illusion that she saw Bai Cangjian again.

Minami Mori still couldn't understand why the phenomenal idol voice actress Bai Cangjian, whom she had such high hopes for and who had become incredibly popular in Japan, had disappeared without a trace, like a blooming flower. To this day, there was no news about her...

The first week after the disappearance of Bai Cang Jian was confirmed, it became the news that made headlines in Japan.

But as time goes by, there is less and less discussion about Bai Cangjian.

Three days later, the mysterious disappearance of Bai Cangjian was reported.

As the heavy snow fell earlier than in previous years, the news that Christmas was approaching quickly became the news topic, replacing the white cocoon.

After Christmas, no one discussed the White Cocoon any more.

Minami Mori still can't forget the heavy snow on Christmas Day that year.

The heavy snow on Christmas seemed to completely cover up the existence of the white cocoon.

"So similar! Her voice and appearance are able to captivate everyone's ears and eyes, just like Bai Cangjian back then. She is an idol voice actor born with this talent, destined to conquer all audiences..."

Looking at Katori Genzakura's dubbing performance in the first episode, Mori Minami even felt as if she was in a dream.

It is precisely because of this that I can't help but shed tears when looking at Katori Genzakura.

Mori Minami wiped the tears from her cheeks with the back of her hand, and said calmly with her acting skills:

"It's nothing. I just felt that my daughter Xiaomu's performance was so outstanding. I don't know why, but I suddenly felt like she had grown up. I couldn't help but shed tears when I got so emotional. Oh, it's really a headache. After all, I was an actress who became famous for my crying scenes back then."

"So, that's how it is..." Bunkan Mihui said in agreement.

"Sister Xingge, how was my performance?" After leaving the dubbing area, Katori Gensakura walked up to Ijichi Xingge and asked.

"Listening to your dubbing is simply a pleasure. This is what I really mean. Seeing your performance and movements when dubbing, I feel like I am witnessing the birth of a phenomenal idol voice actor at this moment."

Ijichi Hoshika, who has never been good at praising others, praised Katori Genzakura without hesitation at this time, because in her opinion, even if she said all the words of praise she could think of to Katori Genzakura, it would not be able to fully describe Katori Genzakura's excellence in dubbing.

"I think so too." Katori Genzakura boasted a little.

Looking at the smug Katori Genzakura, Ijichi Seika couldn't help but smile and teased:

"Haha... you're such a precocious little girl. You're so thick-skinned despite your young age. Normally, when someone your age receives praise, shouldn't they first express their admiration? Didn't you do that well? But you accepted it all without any modesty."

"Because I am confident in my dubbing ability and know that I deserve such praise. Accepting all the praise from others is also a way of dealing with people." Katori Genzakura said with a chuckle.

After hearing what Katori Genzakura said, Ijichi Seika was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:

"What a precocious child."

Katori Genzakura smiled slightly, and just when she was about to take a sip of water, she found a mature woman walking towards her.
