Tokyo life starting with painting

Higashino focused on dubbing, and his mood fluctuated with the sound of the tape.

urgent.

pressure

Even if there is no background music to deliberately create scary sound effects to enhance the atmosphere, Hasegawa Riko's voice really has a charm that pulls other people's thoughts.

This is really awesome.

Listening to the voice, Higashino couldn't help but think.

You can dub to this extent without sound effects. If you use sound effects, wouldn't it really scare people to death?

Don't underestimate the role of background music. Like many horror movies, if you turn off the volume and watch it again, you will find that the hero and heroine look like they are watching a fool, not scary at all.

This also shows the importance of background music.

And Hasegawa Riko didn’t use any audio editing software, and even there were rustling noises around her, she was able to reach this point.

Apart from anything else, Higashinoji feels that if Riko Hasegawa is taken down, the audience will not only smash the TV, but also the bench. I am afraid that the big iron chain that locks the TV cabinet in the market will not only be smashed. Out of stock.

Awesome, indeed awesome.

As the audio tape gradually finished playing, Tonoji couldn't help but let out a breath and began to summarize.

To be honest, he didn't understand the ins and outs of dubbing, but even a layman like him couldn't help but sigh when he listened to this tape. This is really a natural talent for dubbing.

The other party's voice was stable and distinctive from beginning to end.

Although Higashinoji can't say a lot of professional words like "treble" and "bass" like a professional animation supervisor, he can express the feeling that Hasegawa Riko gives him in a relatively straightforward way.

Unlike idols or most voice actors who are artificial, Higashino seems to be able to really feel the soul of Reiko Asakawa in her voice.

It's as if Hasegawa Reiko is Asakawa Reiko herself, and her voice really comes from the world of "The Ring"

To put it bluntly, even Nanako Matsushima, who played Reiko Asakawa in her previous life, did not have the impact that Reiko Hasegawa's voice had on Higashinoji.

But if you think about it carefully, after all, there are specialties in the arts. Matsushima Nanako is an actor, and her main focus is acting, while voice actors are constantly polishing their vocal skills. It is indeed unfair to compare this with Matsushima Nanako.

But this can also reveal the ability of Hasegawa Riko to some extent.

Higashinoji had heard before that Riko Hasegawa performed well in dubbing in the anime "Ultramarine Philosophy" and "Kaneda Murder". It seems that this is not an exaggeration, she is indeed very capable.

It's just that she was very unlucky and met a firm with a bad reputation.

Higashikata thought for a while and made a decision.

This sound would be a waste if it didn't match "Midnight Ring".

An audition opportunity is nothing. If Hasegawa Riko can maintain this kind of performance in contact, it would be quite normal to give her the heroine position.

This can be considered a win-win situation.

Hasegawa Riko got the opportunity to dub, and Higashino Tsukasa's career took a step forward - the "Midnight Ring" animated movie became a hit!

He made a decision, thought about it and pulled the tape out of the tape recorder, then put it back in and listened to it several times.

After hearing it, he had goosebumps, and then he washed up and went to bed to rest.

He's really good, he's a talented person, it would be a waste if he didn't accompany my "Midnight Ring".

The next day, Higashinoji made breakfast and left for Tokyo Animation Production Company early in the morning.

When he passed by, he made a special trip to take a look at the door of Tokyo Animation Production Company.

The ‘snowman’ Riko Hasegawa is not here today.

But Higashinoji didn't care much.

It’s okay to be away.

It’s freezing cold, so it’s not a good idea for Hasegawa Riko to come over and stay in the cold, lest it affect her audition status later.

He put on his temporary employee badge and moved toward the auxiliary building.

Perhaps because he came too early, two important decision-makers, Nobuhiro Motohashi and Shimitsu Toda, were not present.

Higashino glanced left and right, and decided to stop thinking for the time being and start drawing today's original scene first.

He took a cup of hot water next to the water dispenser and let his palms warm a little before he started writing.

Since Sadako is a character he has drawn many times, and the original painting does not require coloring, only line drafts, Higashinoji painted very quickly. In just over an hour, he completed almost two-thirds of today's original draft. All painted.

The original painting he drew used systematic strengthening skills, so it was still terrifying, with a suffocating feeling that seemed to pull people into the painting.

And that's not all, Higashinoji also took the time to take a look at the small finished product where the production team roughly connected all the original paintings.

These original paintings are mixed with the original paintings he drew, so the projection actually has the same sense of fear as in the "Midnight Ring" comic.

Although the feeling is not as strong as in the manga, if you add dubbing and post-production sound effects, it is probably not much different from the original "Midnight Ring" manga by Higashino Tsukasa.

Thinking of this, the importance of Hasegawa Riko increased again.

Higashinoji thought about it and continued to draw, but this time before he had even finished two strokes, he heard the voices of Nobuhiro Motohashi and Shimitsu Toda coming from the side.

The two of them were frowning, talking in a low voice while greeting Higashinoji: "Brother Higashino, are you free? Here is the adapted script. Take a look to see if there are any problems. If there are any problems, I will ask them to change it. "

As mentioned before, the concept of script is actually a script book used by voice actors to practice their lines.

Although Motohashi and Toda are supervisors and deputy supervisors, they also respect Higashinoji as a partner. After all, Higashinoji's phrase "The moonlight is so beautiful" really conveys a sense of literary and artistic freshness, so they naturally feel that Higashinoji is a good partner. There is something, and the literary foundation must be very solid, so of course I have to give the script to Higashinoji.

As Motohashi Nabuhiro spoke, he placed a thick script in front of Higashinoji.

Higashinoji became interested after hearing this, and by chance, he also brought a copy of the script to Hasegawa Riko.

And this was also the first time he saw a script, so he quickly picked up the script and read it sentence by sentence.

The format of the script is very simple, it’s probably that scene.

Then add a colon after the name, followed by the lines spoken by the character.

It can be seen that the person who adapted the script quite respects the original work of "The Ring".

Most of the lines have remained unchanged.

Higashinoji glanced through it briefly and felt that there was nothing to revise, so he nodded and said politely: "That's it, but can you trouble Brother Motohashi and Brother Toda to leave me a copy of the script?" After all, he is a writer. Laymen still need to learn, and it is better to do less things like random changes.

Naohashi Motohashi and Toda Shimitsu were very willing to satisfy Higashinoji with this small request.

But they're also a little weird.

You must know that the script is used to select voice actors. Higashinoji is the animation script and original animator, so he has nothing to do with this thing.

But speaking of voice actors

"It's true that we have to start casting." Naohashi Motohashi and Toda Shimitsu were both bachelors, so they pulled up a bench and sat next to Higashinoji without caring, and brought over a large pile of information.

All of these came from the dubbing actors' information sent to them from various major offices after they heard about the production of the "Midnight Bell" animated film.

The information here includes both men and women, and there are many well-known voice actors in the industry.

There are probably more than a hundred lists of voice actors after a rough scroll.

From the oldest to the youngest, and then from the youngest to the oldest, there are even several students from classmate A and classmate B who apply for supporting roles.

After all, this is a big production, and Sharp Co., Ltd.'s 600 million yen is spent - even if the entire production team is the Philippine Diving Dream Team, they will definitely be able to produce a good work with high quality and quantity.

If you have money, in a sense you can really do whatever you want.

By then, there may be some people who like to analyze "The Ring" frame by frame, so it would be a blessing to have our own voice actors show up here.

On the other side, Higashinoji also glanced here curiously.

The information on these auditionees is too detailed.

In addition to names, height, weight, and photos, there are even special effects such as rapping, playing piano, playing guitar, and even calligraphy. It’s like a pork seller in a vegetable market. I wish I could tell where my pigs come from. The pigs that are produced and quarantined wherever they are are put on the pigs - my pigs are better than the pigs next door, choose my pigs! This feeling.

This made Higashino a little curious, and he didn't quite understand the use of these stunts and the like.

This can only be said to be his first time participating in this kind of work, so it is normal for him to not understand.

In Japan, there will definitely be a promotional meeting after the production of the animated film. At that time, these voice actors with singing and dancing skills will have a natural advantage.

So basically every voice actor has one or two specialties, and there are few who do nothing except dubbing.

The role Nabuhiro Motohashi and Shimitsu Toda wanted to finalize first was the male protagonist Ryuji Takayama. There was no other reason. It was just that the two of them had some Japanese tendency to favor boys over girls, so they subconsciously made this choice. .

"Takayama Ryuji is a very logical and analytical character. I need to find someone with a more steady and calm voice."

"Is Tateishi okay? His voice is very stable, right?" Toda Shimitsu looked through it and found a male voice actor.

"No, it's too old-fashioned. The character Takayama Ryuji feels a little younger."

"What about Nakao? He has a good voice, right?"

"It's good, but his image isn't very good. He's not that handsome. And the price his firm charges is too high."

The two of them discussed quietly.

Higashinoji also heard a lot of gossip in the circle.

Things like office grudges, triangle relationships, and tidbits are rarely seen in magazines, so Higashinoji is also quite interested in them.

But Naohashi Motohashi and Toda Shimitsu don’t think so. Seeing Higashikata looking over from time to time, the two of them felt a little strange.

Among them, Naohashi Motohashi was the first to speak: "Brother Higashino, do you have any suitable male protagonists to recommend?"

After all, Japan is a society that pays attention to human relationships, and Higashinoji and them have an iron triangle creative relationship. If Higashinoji has a suitable candidate, they will give it a try no matter what.

"No." Higashikata shook his head bluntly.

There is definitely no recommendation for him as the leading actor.

"Really?" Motohashi Daohiro was speechless.

Higashinoji has been looking here since just now. He thought Higashinoji had a suitable candidate.

He went back to discuss with Toda Shimitsu, and the final candidate was a male voice actor named Matsuda Masao and five or six other voice actors who came to audition.

Although I came here for an audition, if Masao Matsuda’s dubbing skills don’t change much, he’s basically the one to be the one.

Of course, if several other voice actors perform at a superb level, they will also consider several other voice actors.

The male role has been decided, and the only one left is Reiko Asakawa.

This character is basically the most important character in the whole play.

From the beginning of her curiosity to death, to the later being disturbed by the cursed video tape, it can be said that the entire plot of "The Ring" revolves around Reiko Asakawa.

She has more scenes than the male protagonist Takayama Ryuji, and the dubbing of this character is more difficult than Takayama Ryuji, as he has to have various emotions.

In addition, this is a female character, which requires even more careful selection.

First of all, average-looking ones won’t do. Later on, the heroine must be introduced for publicity. She must be upright and beautiful.

Secondly, it is impossible without dubbing skills. The role of Reiko Asakawa is very difficult to dub, as there are various scenes, and the dubbing actors need to adapt to various voice changes.

Finally, it is best to find someone with special skills. It doesn't matter if you don't have special skills, but it is always good to have special skills.

They picked through the pile of information again and picked out most of the female voice actors, leaving only five.

"Well, Mizuguchi is actually quite good. If nothing else happens, it should be her, right?"

Naohashi Motohashi nodded, and at the same time asked Toda Shimitsu next to him for his opinion.

Toda Shimitsu also nodded in agreement.

Mizuguchi is an emerging female voice actor. Her career is on the rise and she has a lot of fans. Her dubbing skills are good and there are no scandals in the industry. In addition, she is pretty. She is definitely a good voice.

But Naohashi Motohashi was still a little dissatisfied. He felt that Mizuguchi's voice sounded like a girl idol and was not suitable for the mature and steady Asakawa Reiko.

Just when they were planning to end the casting, Higashinoji, who had been silent next to him, suddenly interrupted: "I have a candidate I would like to recommend."

"" Naohashi Motohashi.

Well, I just asked you if you had any male characters to recommend, but it turned out that you didn’t. Originally, you wanted to win the position of the heroine Reiko Asakawa?

But since Higashinoji has someone to recommend, of course they still have to give them face.

"Which firm is the voice actor from?"

Next to him, Toda Shimitsu picked up a pen and paper and wanted to record it.

But Higashinoji smiled and waved his hand: "He is someone familiar to both Brother Motohashi and Brother Toda."

He didn't show off, and said his name with a smile: "It's Hasegawa Riko."
