Chapter 324 You Guys Are so Kind
The woman who appeared at the door of the classroom was about 23 or 24 years old, wearing a black professional suit. Her name was Maki Hirata. She was the secretary of the president of the "Our Voice" entertainment agency, and she was also the person that everyone in this voice actor training school wanted to see the most.
She represented the president, Matsuda Kako, and she would not have any chance to come to the training school. Once she came, it meant that someone was about to take off. There were several times in the past when everyone was still chatting or reviewing the knowledge of the previous class after class, and suddenly someone was called out.
When she came back, she brought several contracts, in addition to officially joining the agency, there was also a performance contract. Everyone was still attending class seriously, and the classmate sitting next to her just disappeared for a few minutes, and when she came back, she became a formal voice actor.
"Miracle Gate Angel"
This is everyone's nickname for the secretary.
However, there are exceptions to this situation, that is when Nishimiya Glass came to the training school for class.
The president's preference for Nishimiya was obvious to all students, and he would call her over to chat even when he had nothing to do.
As expected, the white light emitted from the angel at the door was directed directly at Nishimiya Glass, with no intention of illuminating other people.
Hirata Maki walked quickly to the middle of the classroom, bowed to the teacher Kitani Ayano, and then said to Glass, with a good attitude and a smile:
"Nishimiya-san, if you are free, please come with me, the president wants to see you."
"No, no, I'll go now." Glass stood up and responded quickly. She probably knew why President Matsuda wanted to see her.
"Then please follow me, the president is waiting for you in the conference room." Hirata Maki smiled slightly, stretched out his left hand and walked towards the front door of the classroom.
When the angel came, the classroom was so quiet that there was no breathing, as if everyone was holding their breath and waiting for the verdict; when the angel left, the classroom was so lively that it seemed as if the Kanda Festival had been moved to the classroom, as if everyone was carrying a sedan chair to win for their own gods.
The people in this training class are basically working people. Some of them just came from the factory after screwing in screws, and some of them have to screw in screws after class. In short, most of them have been working in society for a long time. Although they can respect teachers in general, they obviously can't do it now.
Seeing Nishimiya Glass and the secretary disappear outside the door, everyone started to talk about it instantly, completely forgetting the existence of Kitani Ayano.
"Are you here to see Nishimiya again? I wonder what role you want her to try this time."
A woman wearing Shibuya-style clothes looked at the empty door with envy, and she didn't know when she would have such an opportunity. Her family did not support her dream of becoming a voice actor. She worked alone in a convenience store. The salary had to pay for rent and living expenses, and also support tuition fees. She was almost unable to hold on.
Nishimiya Glass... I really envy her.
"Tsk, what's the point of giving her so many opportunities? She will fail in the end anyway. I guess, maybe President Matsuda knew that she would definitely fail, so he gave her so many opportunities without hesitation. If she could really succeed, she wouldn't have so many opportunities."
Sakaguchi Yukie gritted her teeth and said, looking at the door with eyes that were about to spit fire. She works in a company that produces sandwiches. Something went wrong today, resulting in the unfinished workload. She has been desperately trying to make up for it, so she didn't even have time to put on makeup after get off work and came to the training center. Now her face is so horrible, her skin is yellow-brown, and there are several acne marks as big as a little finger on her cheeks.
"I don't know who is behind her, why are those voice actors in the agency so nice to her, is she the daughter of the president of a big company? Or a member of parliament?"
"Not necessarily, isn't there another possibility? Think about it, Nishimiya is so beautiful..."
Another girl joined the discussion.
The fact that they talked about Naoko behind her back meant that they didn't have a good relationship with Naoko, which meant that the seats of these people were actually some distance away from the teacher, Ayano Kitani, so they talked so recklessly, thinking that the teacher couldn't hear them.
However, those who were not even considered rookie voice actors obviously didn't know that the reason why this "variable witch who no one knows who is" respected by most people in the voice actor industry was able to control so many voices was not only because of her profound voice actor skills, but also because of her extraordinary hearing.
For example, Hojo Kyosuke's singing voice was at most kissed by the devil in Sakura's ears, but Ayano Kitani could tell what went wrong with each tone and how to correct it.
At this moment, although they were five or six meters away and there were still a lot of people talking in the middle, Ayano Kitani still heard those unbearable words.
The old lady liked the girl who would just sit in her seat and miss her lover after class. She narrowed her eyes immediately. With her round face that didn't look old, she looked very kind. She walked slowly to the side of Sandwich Sakaguchi Yukie.
The women immediately shut up, their expressions as ugly as if they had swallowed charcoal.
"The quality of young people nowadays is much higher than ours." Kitani Ayano's voice was so clear even in the noisy classroom. When these words reached the ears of Sandwich, they immediately felt puzzled.
"I have a hard time even graduating from a voice acting agency, but I'm still worried about my classmates who have become official voice actors long ago. I'm so touched."
The old lady was talking to herself, and then she didn't care about the reactions of several people. She walked to the front of the classroom with her hands behind her back, and whispered in her mouth:
"If I can't even graduate from a voice acting agency, won't the money I earned from part-time work be in vain?"
"What would the family say?"
"But in fact, even if I can graduate, it may be more difficult to get a performance role than graduation. Maybe in order to maintain my dignity as a voice actor, I will have to work more than now."
"It's too bad. I don't know if I will say welcome during the sound check."
"Oh, today's young people..."
Sandwich Sakaguchi Yukie and the others looked at each other in confusion. Their originally pig liver-colored faces slowly turned gray, and there was no longer any light in their eyes.
Yes, even graduation is a problem. People who have already walked to the Tongtian Avenue in Yin Yang Wei are really busy. If you have this time, you might as well go to the Aokigahara Sea of Trees under Mount Fuji to find a Feng Shui treasure land, and be decades ahead of others. .
The Shibuya-style girl glanced at the sandwich, said nothing, and just moved a few positions to the other side holding her schoolbag.
It's better to study hard and avoid doing evil things. Just like Nishimiya-san, who is already so good but still takes every class seriously.
The so-called adult sight is to selectively see what you want to see.
When their minds were filled with jealousy and their mouths were dominated by anger, their eyes could only see the preferential treatment Nishimiya Glass received, but could not see the other party's strength and efforts.
The voice actor training center is not like a voice actor school where you only have to pay money to enter. This place exists as a place to help the agency cultivate reserve forces. When enrolling, they go through certain assessments and can even be said to have reached the level of ordinary newcomers in the industry. .
From the fact that the teachers are all active voice actors, it can be seen that the agency has set its sights here, just like the "Angel at the Gate of Miracle" that everyone said before.
As long as you are strong enough or work hard enough, the agency will not be stingy with opportunities. There are two ways to graduate. One is to pass the assessment of the training center, and the other is to sign with an agency to become an official voice actor.
Whether it is vocal lessons, physical lessons, or group-style simulated dubbing, Nishimiya Glass is undisputedly the best in the class.
The Shibuya-style beauty silently recalled Nishimiya Glass's usual performance, opened the book, and began to read her few notes.
Let's borrow a notebook from Nishimiya-san later, she thought.
The training center and the office share a building. In a place like Chiyoda, we can't afford to rent too many buildings. Below is the training center. The students watch the dazzling figures of the official voice actors disappearing up the stairs every day, and then continue to study with enthusiasm.
Glass followed Secretary Hirata to the president's office on the sixth floor. The secretary knocked on the door and immediately heard a voice asking to come in.
"Excuse me." Glass whispered, and then walked in.
"President Matsuda, good afternoon."
She first said hello, "Our Voice" office's company culture focuses on relaxation. Although the president, Matsuda Kako, usually seems a bit strict, the voice actors under her are completely helpless, and even many such as poor people have been added. The Breast Mutual Aid Society...no, it's a mysterious organization like the Flat Chests Are Justice Society.
Therefore, Glass usually gets along easily with the president.
"Sit down quickly. What would you like to drink? Plain water? Or warm water? Or warm water that's a little hot?"
Matsuda Kako asked. She pointed to the sofa in the middle of the office. She also walked over from behind the desk and sat next to Glass.
There is never any other drink in her office, and even when other partners come, they only serve water. She said this is the self-consciousness of being a voice actress. As the president, she strives to lead by example, trying to demonstrate the professional capabilities of their firm from herself.
Faced with the president's cold humor, Glass smiled in a dignified manner, with a gentle and peaceful smile.
If Kyousuke-kun or Sakura were here, they would probably say, "I'll just drink some water."
Fortunately, the timelines and spaces are different, otherwise Yukinoshita Yukino would definitely be furious. Can the people in this family really not survive without word games? Word games can’t save the Neon Man!
But fortunately, she was a glass that everyone loved, so after smiling, she said warm water.
Secretary Hirata did not need to be told, and consciously brought two glasses of water over, then bowed and walked into the cubicle, leaving the space for the boss and Nishimiya Glass.
"Although Glass, you have made it very clear before, but just in case, I would like to confirm again. Can these roles be freely assigned by the firm?"
Matsuda Kako stretched out her finger and tapped the folder on the table and asked seriously.
"One of the five protagonists was prepared for me by Kyosuke-kun. In addition to the five protagonists, the three roles other than the five protagonists can be chosen by the seniors in the agency."
Glass said seriously. When she said that Hojo Kyosuke had prepared a role for her, the girl had a faint blush on her face, but her voice didn't tremble at all. She even raised her tone, as if she was feeling a little proud.
"I made a mistake. I was talking about those three characters. But isn't Glass Gentleman also from our agency? So that means there are four characters for us to choose from."
Matsuda Kako smiled and said:
"The last time we encountered such a good thing was when four of our voice acting agencies joined forces to produce an animation. When we were selecting the characters, we were as happy as if we were in a dream. The children in the club were as happy as if they were participating in a summer festival. Just like a sacrifice.”
"Huh? Is there such a thing?"
Glass said in surprise, why he had never heard of it from his seniors. Generally speaking, shouldn't this kind of thing be regarded as glorious history and bragging to future generations? Those seniors who like to play around would talk about things like being assigned a brand new microphone during dubbing.
"It was cut in half, and it was barely broadcast on a small TV station for four episodes. Let alone the big TV stations, no one even bought the online rights."
Matsuda Kako took a sip of warm water to moisturize her bitter throat.
Facts have proved that although they are idolizing seiyuu, this kind of work of making their own dramas to win praise for their roles is still not suitable for companies like theirs.
"...Haha~~" Glass laughed twice and quickly picked up the water and took a sip.
"I trust you and Hojo-san very much, but I still have to ask, how did Hojo-san get these things? After all, it's really amazing."
President Matsuda asked, "It's too exaggerated. Although it is a daily animation with few characters, both the original work and the production company are very powerful. For such a project, Hojo Kyosuke can actually get so much money in one go." Characters, give away as big as the supermarket’s 8:30 20% off promotion.
After her first contact with that man and learning about his deeds, Matsuda Kako had some fantasy. The value of such a genius was by no means as simple as it seemed. Now he can write novels, draw comics, and serve as editor and original artist.
In the future, when his animation company really starts to operate and starts to turn all the IPs under his name into animations, there will be no need to speak for himself at that time. As long as the girls in the company can have a good relationship with Glass, there will definitely be a steady stream of voice actor roles. Come in.
She knew that her idea might be a little too good. After all, even the most powerful geniuses might die young. There were also many geniuses who squandered investors' money and turned popular original works into shit.
But she still believed in Hojo Kyosuke, in addition to his achievements in the two-dimensional culture, there was also the success of his "student" in his job. Being able to do both novels and comics while doing my job well is a big plus in anyone’s eyes.
It's impossible for such a genius in science to be unable to settle accounts!
In short, no matter how wonderful Matsuda Kako's imagination was, she never expected that the reward for accepting Glass, unabashed partiality, and doing her best to cultivate Glass would come so quickly.
He didn't even show up, and the four characters were just handed over to their agency.
It didn't even require an audition, it was so exaggerated, it was almost as if it was his own plan.
Matsuda Kako really felt like she was knocked unconscious by a pie falling from the sky, so she checked again and again.
"How did you get it?"
Glass tilted his head and recalled:
"Kyosuke-kun didn't tell me much. It seems that the publishing house wanted him to serialize a new work in the magazine, but Kyousuke-kun was very busy because he had just started school, so he was not happy. Then..."
Although the girl opposite did not say the following words, Matsuda Kako already understood, and she was very familiar with this trick. If there are any voice actors who want to go solo or transfer due to expiry, she will also use a big role to dangle them.
However, just to let Hojo Kyosuke serialize another work, pay such a high price? She was still a little confused.
"Not only did he play a voice role, Kyousuke also got a position as the first original animator."
Looking at President Matsuda's confused face, Glass added.
hiss……
How much did "Weekly Shōnen High" invest in this animation? How could he be so messy? Will supervision not lead to rebellion? Isn’t the supervisor in the information quite famous? It is said that you are very picky about painting?
"You don't have to think about it to know that it must be a good work."
Kako Matsuda said sincerely that if it were not a very good comic, the publishing house over there would never use this kind of bargaining chip. It would simply disrupt the market order.
"That's absolutely of course!" Glass nodded heavily.
Although she still doesn't understand what kind of story "The God of Death fell in love with a primary school student and helped him reject death while helping him purify the world", this did not prevent her from unconditionally believing in Hojo Kyosuke.
"Looking forward to Hojo-san's masterpiece."
Matsuda Kako said sincerely again, then she patted Glass's arm affectionately, and said sincerely:
"Glass, for this performance, you must work harder, break through yourself correctly, and get rid of all those little problems!"
Only in this way, when Hojo Sanna's work that has high hopes from the publishing house is turned into a TV series, their company can successfully get on board through Glass.
"Yes! I will!"
Glass nodded seriously, and his long brown hair tied into a ponytail swayed violently.
Just like Hojo-kun's works must be good works, she will never disappoint Hojo-kun's expectations.
This is a comic that the whole family likes. When the time comes, everyone will sit together and watch their own performances. If you don't work hard, it will be embarrassing.
Glass's heart ignited a hundred and twenty percent fighting spirit.
"President, which role do you think I am more suitable for?" she asked seriously.
There will be more later, maybe after 2 o'clock.
