Tokyo life starting with painting

We need to save some face for Higashinoji.

Thinking this, Naohashi Motohashi smiled and nodded at Higashino Tsukasa.

Seeing his round face suddenly smile, Higashinoji was a little baffled, but out of politeness, he nodded and smiled, and then turned to look at Hasegawa Riko.

Even if the other party's mentality is not calm, he is still very confident.

After seeing Higashinoji showing an "awkward yet polite smile," Motohashi didn't say much. He just turned to look at Hasegawa Riko, who was exhaling and inhaling to adjust her condition.

At this glance, he couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

Apart from anything else, the appearance of Hasegawa Reiko recommended by Higashinoji is indeed very good. Her delicate face has the feeling of a gentle and strong delicate woman like Asakawa Reiko.

If dubbing actors hadn't accounted for a large part of the 'dubbing' aspect, maybe Naohashi would have chosen her.

It’s a pity, I’m so nervous. Sure enough, it’s because I have too little audition experience. Mizukuchi Kouko has dubbed in more than a dozen works, and she has even participated in the Japanese version of some popular foreign movies. Compared to this , Hasegawa Riko only has two works, which are really not enough to watch.

Motohashi sighed in his heart, and then heard the first line that Hasegawa Riko said according to his request: "Please, please tell me about Shizuko!"

Huh?

Motohashi Naohashi, who had been a little hopeless just now, raised his head unexpectedly, and even Toda Shimitsu next to him became more energetic.

This sentence is somewhat interesting.

The tone was so high that it gave people a very anxious and urgent state of mind.

This scene comes from Reiko Asakawa asking for help from Sadako Yamamura's father, Heihachiro Ikuma - Reiko Asakawa hopes that he can tell her about Sadako Yamamura's mother, Shizuko Yamamura, so she feels anxious.

In addition, her son has already watched the cursed video tape, and his life is hanging by a thread, which makes the conflict even more serious.

Hasegawa Riko expressed this anxiety naturally.

This really surprised Naohashi Motohashi.

You know, Hasegawa Riko was still a little nervous just now.

He thought for a while and then picked up a line from Heihachiro Ikuma: "There's nothing to say." At the same time, he stretched out his hand to signal Hasegawa Riko to continue.

It’s just a line that you can’t tell much about. Maybe it was Riko Hasegawa who performed exceptionally well for a moment?

"Shizuko has a daughter, right?!"

Riko Hasegawa held the script, felt the mood of the characters, and performed the lines.

The level of this line stunned Naohashi Motohashi and Toda Shimitsu.

It's not that she's not matched well, but that Hasegawa Riko has actually improved again?

Seeing Ikuma Heihachiro's indifferent attitude of not wanting to give an answer, Asakawa Reiko felt even more anxious, so her voice also took on a tone of euphemistic pleading.

And Riko Hasegawa actually showed this

This time, Motohashi finally regained his energy and realized something was wrong.

Something's wrong! Nothing is right at all!

Why does the voice actor who he thought was hopeless at first keep surprising him?

He thought for a while, turned a few more pages, and answered a line: "Don't you want to eat? Asakawa?"

These are the words Takayama Ryuji said to Asakawa Reiko.

Asakawa Reiko had no hope of seeking help from Ikuma Heihachiro, and her death date was getting closer and closer. In this situation with almost no hope, Asakawa Reiko finally collapsed, hugged her legs, did not eat or drink, and fell into autistic state.

This is completely different from the previous anxious and pleading tone. In this case, Asakawa Reiko's voice should be extremely desperate.

This can be regarded as a problem that Motohashi Nabuhiro poses to Hasegawa Riko. It is also a test to see if her voice can suddenly change so loudly.

Originally, Motohashi thought that Riko Hasegawa needed to prepare, but what he never expected was that the other party's voice suddenly became calm, and he could not hide his loss in the calm: "No, Ryuji, please stay with me when I die. Together."

Riko Hasegawa obviously deserved a very simple line, but listening to it in the ears of Motohashi Naohashi, I just felt goosebumps rising.

Because he really heard a deep sense of despair in his voice.

Different from the hoarse feeling of despair that he had imagined before, Hasegawa Riko's dubbing is closer to the feeling of someone who is really facing death - calm, very calm, but there is an unconcealable despair and saying no in the calm. Out of despair.

Confused, lost, desperate, uncomfortable

"Is there such a thing?"

Toda Shimitsu, who had been silent all this time, finally noticed that Hasegawa Riko seemed to be in the mood now.

She was still a little nervous when dubbing the first two lines just now, and she was in a state where she was not able to show her strength.

Now as Hasegawa Riko gradually enters the role, her performance is naturally getting better and better.

This is too talented.

Director Hiroshi Motohashi picked several difficult lines in succession, and after confronting Riko Hasegawa one by one, he was convinced.

He originally wanted to save some face for Higashinoji and not criticize Hasegawa Riko harshly, but when the unexpected result was placed in front of him, he could only nod speechlessly and couldn't help but look at it. Higashinoji glanced at——

I just said that I don’t understand voice actors. If you didn’t understand, how could you have discovered such a good talent? I don't believe it.

Nobuhiro Motohashi did not hesitate, and simply erased the words "Mizukuchi Koko, almost sure" he had just written, and added the words "Hasegawa Riko, basically sure".

It is said to be 'basically confirmed', but Motohashi actually feels that the role of Reiko Asakawa this time has probably been won by Riko Hasegawa, who was recommended by Higashinoji.

This is a very good expression.

Even as a famous speaker in the industry, he couldn't find any problems at all.

Hasegawa Riko finished her performance quickly. She didn't know how she performed. But facing two famous golden partners in the industry, she was still quite nervous, so she bowed deeply, and then performed alone He bowed to Higashinoji and left the room.

As soon as she left, the atmosphere in the audition room instantly became heated.

Director Motohashi turned his head with a half-smile: "Brother Higashino, you are too unkind. You already have such a good talent. Just submit her practice tapes, and you might be able to win the role." Woolen cloth?"

"It's just that the audio tape actually feels like it's missing something. After all, dubbing is very dependent on the situation."

Higashinoji catered to her, then changed the subject and asked, "Ms. Hasegawa's performance should be pretty good."

Just now, Riko Hasegawa's nervous and shy behavior as soon as she entered the door made him inexplicably nervous. It felt as if he was pressed into the top position of a roller coaster, and his heartbeat accelerated greatly.

But after seeing the other party's performance, he pressed back his heart that was about to fall out of his throat.

"It's true." Higashinoji was with him after all, and Motohashi Naohashi didn't hide his thoughts.

Savoring Hasegawa Riko's performance, he nodded: "After this comparison, the candidate has basically been determined."

Whether it is appearance or dubbing skills, he is very satisfied with Hasegawa Riko.

Those Internet rumors about Hasegawa Riko can be calmed down with a little pressure. They are not particularly troublesome. The only thing you should be concerned about may be the developments on the AK89 side.

But that's no problem.

AK89 is just a firm, and its boss wouldn't be so stupid as to want to offend Tokyo Animation Production Company.

Even if the other party is really stubborn and ignores Tokyo Animation Production Company, they must at least give face to Sharp Co., Ltd., the investor of this animated film, right?

That is one of the leaders in the Japanese electronics industry. Sharp Corporation's daily sales volume is estimated to be enough to open several AK89 offices.

As for the voice actors behind Riko Hasegawa?

If they really wanted to compare, they probably couldn't even beat Mizukiko, let alone compare with Hasegawa Riko.

So the next time is equivalent to garbage time.

Higashinoji lowered his head to draw the original painting again, and looked up from time to time to check the progress of the audition.

On the other side, Mizukiko looked at Riko Hasegawa who had just walked out of the audition room in astonishment.

She originally thought that Hasegawa Riko would be kicked off if she just went in and said two or three lines, but just looking at the time, it seemed that the other party took longer than her?

This is not good information.

This shows that the creative team is hesitant about who to choose.

Is it possible that Riko Nagatanigawa is really the kind of master who hides her secrets?

Thinking about it, Mizukiko smiled sweetly and closed the distance between herself and Hasegawa Riko - this is her special skill, face changing, which many girls can do.

"Miss Hasegawa, you seemed to be doing well after staying in there for so long just now."

"Huh?" Hasegawa Riko was stunned when she was suddenly spoken to by Mizuguchi Koko, but after hearing the content of her words, she felt a little downcast: "No, I was very nervous after I entered. I performed very poorly in front of me. I didn’t know what I was talking about. I finally found some form later.”

"Really?" Mizukou Xiangzi felt very happy when she saw her lowering her head and looking really depressed.

It seems that the creative team let her stay in there for so long because of Higashinoji's face.

How could she, Mizukiko, not be able to defeat Riko Hasegawa, who was not performing well? Isn't this a joke?

But Mizukou Xiangzi thought so, and she still showed a sweeter comforting smile on the surface: "Don't worry, Miss Hasegawa, I think you have a good chance. After all, you have been there for a long time and they should be hesitating whether to choose." You."

Hasegawa Riko was a little disappointed at first, but when she heard Mizuguchi Kouko comforting her like this, she was also a little moved.

She quickly cheered up, nodded to Mizuguchi Xiangzi and said, "Thank you, Miss Mizuguchi, you are such a good person."

Seeing Hasegawa Riko's moved expression, Mizukuchikako smiled even more.

She is very concerned about external rumors and has always had that kind of amiable image.

So she sat next to Hasegawa Riko and comforted her for a while before leaving with satisfaction.

It's stable. The biggest opponent is already like this. Isn't this a stable victory?

She thought so, while on the other side, the screening of voice actors continued.

But as Nabuhiro Motohashi said, what follows is garbage time.

To be precise, none of the voice actors are noteworthy. Riko Hasegawa and Kouko Mizugou's performances are too good, but in contrast, they appear to be inferior.

Half an hour passed like this, and the sound check sessions were all over.

Higashino also packed up his things, and when he was about to leave to see Riko Hasegawa, he heard Motohashi Daohiro calling his name from behind: "Wait a minute, Brother Higashino."

"Brother Motohashi, what are you doing?" Tonoji stopped and looked at Motohashi Nobuhiro, who was striding up with him, in confusion.

"I actually want to meet Miss Hasegawa, is that okay?" Motohashi Naohashi touched his head and said with a smile.

"Huh? Of course, no problem."

The animation supervisor wants to meet the voice actor in private, which is a good sign, and Higashinoji certainly can't refuse.

He called Hasegawa Riko, and then saw her and Kuromiya Akisa walking over.

"Hello, Mr. Motohashi, Mr. Higashino."

Hasegawa Riko didn't know what happened, why did Motohashi Daohiro want to see her?

She bowed drowsily, and turned to look at Higashinoji with her big eyes, as if she wanted to ask for help.

But Higashinoji just stretched out his hand to signal her not to worry, and turned to look at Naohashi Motohashi: "Brother Motohashi, don't you have something to say?"

"Haha, I do have some questions to ask Ms. Hasegawa."

Naohashi Motohashi nodded, then asked kindly: "Ms. Hasegawa, you should still be a freelance voice actor, right?"

"Huh? Yes." Hasegawa Riko didn't quite understand what Motohashi meant, but she still nodded and answered.

But Higashinoji next to him suddenly heard the reason.

Naohashi Motohashi probably wants to poach someone.

This is too fast.

Higashinoji originally thought that someone would come over to poach him after "Midnight Ring" was released.

He was surprised, but soon relieved.

Yes, others are not blind, so they can naturally see Riko Hasegawa’s dubbing talent.

With a little investment of resources, Riko Hasegawa is a hot voice actress.

All I can say is that the AK89 agency was really stupid for letting go of an outstanding voice actor like Hasegawa Riko.

As expected, Motohashi Naohashi spoke decisively in the next sentence.

"Since Miss Hasegawa is currently a free person, I wonder if Miss Hasegawa has the intention to join a new firm?"

He paused, and without waiting for Riko Hasegawa to answer, he continued: "The Kyosaku Office under our Tokyo Animation Production Company is very good. If Ms. Hasegawa is willing to come over, all the projects our Tokyo Animation Production Company is producing Animation can actually give you preferential treatment."

Hearing this, even Hasegawa Riko, as innocent as she is, already understood.

The other party is trying to recruit me.

And it’s a big player in the industry like Tokyo Animation Production Company!

If you agree to a good role, you can basically just wave your hand and get it.

Higashinoji couldn't help but look at Hasegawa Riko.

In his opinion, there is no need to hesitate about this kind of treatment.

In fact, Hasegawa Lizi did not hesitate.

She smiled shyly and shook her head gently:

"Thank you very much for the invitation, Director Motohashi, but I'm sorry, please allow me to refuse your invitation."
