Tokyo Girlfriend Guide

Chapter 925 Thank you, you are so kind

The PV of "Neighbors, Neighbors, Neighbors" is very complete, and everyone watched it with great interest, laughing from time to time. Many famous scenes were shown, such as the dead princess falling to the ground at any time, Sasazuka standing out, Anna's bone cave, and the various social death scenes of the elder sister.

Many people have the illusion that voice actors must be anime fans, but this is wrong. Some newcomers will watch the entire work before the audition to increase their competitiveness, while some big-name voice actors don't have that kind of energy at all. They work from project to project, and can only perform in the same template and rely on their own hard power to get the job done.

Yes, although there are many people who devote themselves to this career because of their love, it is just a job after all. It is no different from a convenience store cashier or a truck driver. So it is a bit difficult to ask voice actors to love anime themselves. Even if there are so many people, it may just be a pre-arranged character setting.

Therefore, the supervisor and the original authors were relieved to some extent that they could make the voice actors laugh. Although... these are a group of voice actors who can make people laugh even when they are extremely sad.

"How do you feel? This is the result of everyone's work over the past period of time!"

Oota, the director of the production committee, said with a smile.

“It’s pretty good. I think the fans will like it.”

Kitani Ayano, who has the highest status, spoke first, and then the other voice actors spoke one after another. This is not a harsh workplace rule, but just the most basic respect. I can't really turn the table when the boss picks up the food.

Nishimiya Naoko was particularly excited, she even felt like her whole body was trembling. If she hadn't had some rationality left, she would have asked the supervisor to let it play again.

This finished product with coloring, editing and music is completely different from the feeling of watching the line figures dubbing before.

She didn't take care of her younger sister like Shin Hye did, nor did she bully her younger sister like Shin Hye did. She also couldn't ride a bike or smoke...

But when Nobue beat Miu, it was her voice that cursed, when Miu acted coquettishly towards her sister, it was her voice that agreed, and when Nobue exhaled smoke after smoking, it was her voice...

Watching the person on the screen who is completely different from me, using my own voice, to live a completely different life, this feeling, this feeling...

Nishimiya Naoko's hands were shaking, and she subconsciously gripped the sofa tightly.

When it was finally her turn to speak, the girl's face had turned pink. Anyone could see that she loved this PV, or rather, she loved this work.

She said excitedly, "Very good! Very good! I can't express how good it is! I, I like it very much!"

The original author Bara standing by also laughed happily. He was really happy. As the original author, it was a very lucky thing to be able to laugh after watching the PV. You know, many of his friends waited for the PV after receiving the notification that their works would be animated, and then they were completely disappointed and shut themselves off. After the animation was officially serialized, they were so desperate that they didn't even want to serialize the comic novel, and they didn't dare to face the cruel reality.

The beautiful girl's genuine love made his heart blossom, and he said happily: "Miss Nishimiya's performance was also wonderful, it didn't look like a newcomer at all, it was outstanding."

Glass squinted his eyes and spoke modestly, and then the Ota official in charge of the scene explained to the few people again the process of launching the meeting later.

"Um... Let's go out from the right in order. I'll leave it to Kiyomi-sama to be the first one. If Miu's voice comes out first, it will probably heat up the atmosphere the fastest. Is that ok?"

Secretary Datian asked, holding the schedule, with a very respectful attitude.

Kitani Ayano smiled gently and said it was no problem.

"The second one is Ms. Kihara, followed by Ms. Nishimiya, Ms. Oizumi, and Ms. Yoshikawa..."

Everyone whose name was called nodded in agreement, and Oizumi Kaori's expression became more and more unhappy because she was scheduled to appear after Nishimiya Shoko.

"After you come on stage, please say a few words. As for the content, you can express it freely. I think we mentioned it during the rehearsal. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't prepare anything. Just say a few words about your role or ask if everyone is looking forward to it. It's up to you."

The instructions from Ota were not very detailed, because the voice actors themselves were much better at this kind of thing than the staff. Or... this was just using the voice actors as tools. The launch conference, the screening, the voice actor meet-and-greet, etc., were just using the voice actors as tools to attract customers.

But it can be considered mutually beneficial. The production committee needs the voice actors to use their popularity to boost the attention of the animation, and the voice actors whose main jobs don't pay much need these announcement fees to make a living and also to increase fan stickiness.

"In order to match the topic of the talk, we will play relevant slides. Ms. Kihara will be in charge of the progress, okay?"

"Ok."

Kihara Saki nodded, while Nishimiya Naoko next to her looked confused and had no idea what this was.

In fact, it's just some materials, such as the comments about "Neighbors, Neighbors, Neighbors" on the Internet, everyone's expectations for the animation before, as well as the discussions of the production team, the recruitment of original artists and so on.

"If possible, try to liven up the atmosphere right from the start. After all, it would be scary to have more than a thousand people sitting there in silence, hahahaha..."

Datian laughed dryly. It would be a disaster if that situation really happened.

"Haha~ I don't think that kind of situation will happen. Don't worry, Mr. Oota. We have the strongest newcomer, Ms. Nishimiya."

Oizumi Kaori said with a smile.

Glass's face trembled and she almost shrank back to hide behind her senior.

Seeing this, Daquan smiled contemptuously in his heart, thinking that there would be fun to watch on the stage later. Unexpectedly, the Datian officer opposite him nodded in agreement and said happily:

"Haha, that's right. If Miss Nishimiya is here, the atmosphere will definitely be great."

What's good about that, you idiot? Didn't you see that she was so nervous that she almost fainted during the meeting? Oh, did you say the atmosphere was the screams of everyone when she fainted on the stage?

Oizumi Kaori complained in her heart while giving a hypocritical smile.

Oota continued, "Then we will proceed to other processes... and then we will play the PV. Miss Nishimiya will be the one to propose playing the video, right?"

"Ah? Ah... OK, OK!"

Glass nodded blankly.

Her reaction was so big that the staff in Datian became nervous and asked what happened with concern.

Kihara Saki beside her smiled helplessly and said, "It's no big deal. We just want to tell the audience that our animation PV has been completed in a gorgeous way. Please enjoy it. Then the backstage will start playing the PV on the screen. It's that simple."

Glass nodded quickly: "Oh! Oh! Okay! I have no problem!"

"Then we asked some questions, inquired about the audience's experience, and directed everyone to pay attention to the animation's promotional website and account, which would be displayed on the screen in real time. Then we played some small games and had some conversations. Finally, the audience said a few words and then left in order from the right.

above. "

Secretary Datian closed the document in his hand and said with a smile:

"That's it, any other questions?"

Several voice actors shook their heads.

"Then teachers, please prepare your makeup and styling. I will notify you when the show starts. So, I'm counting on you."

"You have worked hard."

Nishimiya Glass stood up along with her seniors to bid farewell to Secretary Ota.

As soon as she sat down, without waiting for the two seniors to speak, she excitedly said:

"Wow, the animation is completely different from the comics. It's totally different from the comics I read before. I almost couldn't help screaming just now! It's great. I didn't expect the production to be so good!"

Looking at the excited girl, Kihara Saki and Kitani Ayano smiled lovingly at each other at first glance, and were impressed by the newcomer's energy.

It's great to be able to work so happily, Nitro-chan.

Kihara Saki felt sincerely relieved.

Nishimiya Glass's excitement is not over yet:

"Didn't the director say during the rehearsal two days ago that the PV might not be ready? I didn't expect to see such a great work today. It's incredible. If I hadn't heard my own voice, I wouldn't have been able to connect it with what I saw before! When was it completed? Why haven't I heard any news?"

Kihara Saki's mouth twitched: "Well, it was probably made this morning, about an hour ago..."

Glass opened her mouth wide: "An hour ago!?"

"Um……"

Saki shrugged and comforted the frightened girl:

"This happens all the time. Due to cost and other considerations, the animation production schedule is very tight. Right now, we are holding the launch conference, and the production company is still working overtime to produce the first episode. Otherwise, it may not be able to catch up with the release date, which would be a real disaster."

"Often!?"

Glass's mouth opened even wider. How could this happen often? This was too much! What if I couldn't catch up?

As she was thinking, she heard a sneer from the side.

"Heh, if the PV really can't be completed, at best we can just use some character design pictures to perfunctorily handle it. This kind of activity ultimately relies on voice actors to support it. If you don't even have this kind of self-awareness, you'd better go back to school and train for a few more years. Otherwise, if you really encounter this kind of situation, it won't be a good feeling to be questioned by fans on stage. It would be too embarrassing to cry."

Said Oizumi Kaori, who was sitting in front of the dressing table.

Glass nodded thoughtfully and smiled sincerely:

"I understand. Thank you for your advice. I will try my best. Thank you for your hard work, senior!"

Baka! I'm not trying to instruct you! I'm making fun of you!

A breath of anger was stuck in her chest again, and Oizumi Kaori was so angry that she wanted to vomit.

However, Glass turned around and looked at the senior beside him, smiled slyly and leaned over to whisper:

"Um, Saki-sister, I saw Kyousuke-kun!"

"Hmm? Hojo-sensei!?"

Kihara Saki was shocked: "Where? Where? Didn't he say he wouldn't attend the launch meeting?"

"No, I saw it in the PV!"

Glass explained.

Saki was even more surprised. How could Hojo Kyosuke appear in the PV of "Neighbors Neighbors Neighbors"? Was he going in to beat up the little loli?

"I saw the picture Kyousuke-kun drew!"

Nitro laughed:

"Nobue, I can see that Kyousuke-kun participated in the drawings of Miu and Xiaoqian!"

Saki was surprised and asked, "You still have this ability?"

As a newcomer in the industry, Nishimiya Glass can actually recognize the painter?

"Only Kyousuke-kun can do that. I can only see Kyousuke-kun's paintings."

Glass smiled complacently, maybe she could still see a little bit of Eriri. Because wherever Kyousuke is, Eriri is definitely there.

Kihara Saki rolled her eyes speechlessly. That was enough. This girl was really showing off her love all the time.

"I say, instead of sounding like you're missing me, Kyousuke-kun, why don't you think about what you're going to say? At least think of one or two topics to prepare. Otherwise, if you stand on the stage like a goose, I won't care about you!"

"Ohh! Okay!"

Naoko suppressed her smile and brought up the topic that she had discussed with Eriri and the others at home before, asking the two seniors for help.

While the three were talking, Oizumi Kaori had already finished her makeup and sat back on the sofa. Yoshikawa Akane, who worked in the same agency as her, hurried over.

Sitting on the sofa, looking at the innocent and romantic heroine Nishimiya Shoko next to her, Oizumi's eyes rolled around, and bad ideas popped up one after another in her mind, but they were rejected one after another. For an ignorant newcomer like Nishimiya Shoko, she has a hundred ways to embarrass the other party.

But now there are three people from the "Our Voice" agency here, not to mention the industry bigwig Ayano Kitani, so the one who would be embarrassed would be her.

Really, what do producers and supervisors do? Why would they choose so many people from the same agency?

She became increasingly dissatisfied.

After Yoshikawa Akane finished her makeup, Kitani Ayano, who was in her sixties, slowly walked towards the dressing table.

"I just need to tidy up my words a bit."

The old lady smiled kindly at the makeup artist. With her status, she should have been the first to get her makeup done, and there was no reason for her to wait for others. However, she had to wait until now to take care of the newcomers.

Seeing the follower from her own office coming back, Oizumi Kaori's eyes rolled and a brilliant idea came into her head.

"Hey, Yoshikawa," she called.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Yoshikawa Akane, who was checking her makeup in the vanity mirror, turned around.

Oizumi Kaori said with a smile: "Would you like some coffee? I brought some delicious coffee today."

"want!"

Who in Japan can resist coffee, especially young women in the metropolis of Tokyo?

Oizumi Kaori said, "Could you please make some for me? It's in the second compartment of my bag. I'll also prepare a cup for Miss Nishimiya and the others."

After hearing this, Yoshikawa Akane stood up quickly. Upon hearing this, Nishimiya Glass quickly stood up, said thank you and was about to go to help.

"Eh? Just let Yoshikawa do this. As a senior, you should take care of the newbies. Miss Nishimiya, just sit down and wait."

Oizumi Kaori grabbed Nishimiya Naoko's hand.

"That's it..."

Glass sat down somewhat embarrassedly and thanked:

"Thank you, Oizumi-san, you are so kind." (End of this chapter)
