Tokyo life starting with painting

Needless to say, the plot of "Midnight Ring" is handled by Higashinoji himself, so it certainly won't go astray.

And most of the most critical original painting parts were handled by Higashinoji, so there’s no need to worry about that.

Nobuhiro Motohashi and Shimitsu Toda are indeed a well-known golden partner in the industry, and their overall control can be said to be very good.

But aside from all this, the most eye-catching thing is undoubtedly Hasegawa Riko's voice acting.

A good voice actor can make a character have a soul. This sentence is definitely not said casually.

Riko Hasegawa really brought the character of Reiko Asakawa to life.

Whether it’s the gentleness and kindness when interviewing students about the cursed video tape, or the desperate and helpless voice when he learned that his son Yosuke also watched the cursed video tape.

Through her unique voice, it seems that the role of Reiko Asakawa is really brought to life.

If "The Ring" has nine points, then at least two of them come from the voice acting of Riko Hasegawa.

On the side, Yumi Takahashi was so frightened by the dubbing of Reiko Asakawa played by Riko Hasegawa that she was speechless for a long time. Aoi Fujiwara stared at the movie screen, as if she was still immersed in the movie just now, while Ryoka Konoe was absent-minded for a long time and did not move. .

The four of them are all old fans of "The Ring", but they were still scared to the point of weakness watching the animated movie of "The Ring" - the most important thing is that the voice actor of Reiko Asakawa is too good, right?

How on earth was this performed? Could it be possible that he really went to the world of "The Ring" and recorded the voice of Reiko Asakawa from that world?

Even Sachiko Hasegawa next to her was so frightened by her sister's performance of Reiko Asakawa that she hung half of her body on Higashinoji, her big eyes bursting with tears and she couldn't stop them.

There were also other industry insiders at the venue. They watched "The Ring" and discussed it softly.

The quality is truly amazing.

By the way, who is that voice actor? Hasegawa Riko? I have a bit of an impression, but who hired the voice actor for this? Why is it that such a powerful person has no reputation?

They all thought about it and planned to find someone to find out about the voice actor when they returned.

Of course, the sooner you poach people, the better.

certainly.

Except for Hasegawa Riko, they couldn't help but shake their heads after looking at the names of the person in charge of the original painting and the script artist.

Higashinoji

It's Higashinoji again.

What happened to this person? How come you know a little bit of everything?

Sigh, indeed sigh.

This discussion continued until Higashinoji and the others left the stage.

"It's so beautiful! I bet that the box office of "Midnight Ring" will break the record! As expected, it was Mr. Higashino who was responsible for the original painting, which gave me a completely different feeling from the manga." Yumi Takahashi walked out of the set Chirping.

It's definitely different than when you read comics.

Higashino Tsukasa's comics are inexplicably equipped with immersive special effects, which are terrifying as hell.

Although the "Midnight Ring" animated film was originally drawn by Higashino Tsukasa, it also included some special effects, but they were not as prominent as the comics. Instead, they featured realistic dubbing and acting skills of the characters and superb original painting shots.

Moving ‘animations’ and static ‘comics’ can only be said to have their own merits.

If I have to say it, Yumi Takahashi actually prefers comics - but this does not prevent her from touting the animated movie "The Ring".

Because it does look good.

She was chirping excitedly over there, while Fujiwara Aoi next to Higashinoji was a little curious: "Speaking of which, the voice actor for Asakawa Reiko is too amazing. Is it the Miss Hasegawa Riko just now? She is indeed very capable. .Does Higashino-kun know which dubbing agency she is a voice actress for?"

Fujiwara Aoi was indeed a little surprised. She had never heard the name of Hasegawa Riko. Even after looking at the list of the program production team, she could not remember her name for a while, so she could only ask Higashinoji at this time.

Regarding her question, Higashino Tsukasa was about to answer, but Sachiko Hasegawa next to her finally calmed down and raised her head to answer: "My sister said that she will only voice the good-looking brother and will not consider joining other agencies."

As soon as these words were said, Fujiwara Aoi and Takahashi Yumi, who were standing next to them, looked at Higashinoji one after another, with a suspicious look on their faces.

What's happening here?

Have you made a private decision for life? Are you only dubbing Higashinoji?

Facing the questions from Fujiwara Aoi and Takahashi Yumi, Higashinoji didn't show any panic - he and Hasegawa Riko really had nothing to do with each other. In this case, why show cowardice? Just explain the topic honestly.

He thought about the experience of Hasegawa Riko being a "snowman" in front of the Tokyo Animation Production Company in the winter, and then mentioned himself in a slightly artistic way.

He helped Hasegawa Riko, and the other party wanted to repay the favor, so she agreed to only dub him.

After saying these words, Fujiwara Aoi and Takahashi Yumi accepted it, and Konoe Ryoka even quietly wiped her tears.

It is indeed a touching story. Hasegawa Riko chased her dream and encountered a pillow business. Then she met Higashinoji, a noble man who helped her cry. It was really tearful.

At the same time, Higashikata's image is getting higher and higher in their minds.

Misunderstanding resolved.

Higashino secretly let out a breath - of course he had not forgotten Sachiko Hasegawa who was talking nonsense just now.

This guy is definitely a war criminal! He's always causing trouble next to him!

It seems a box of reference books is not enough.

Tonoji took out the phone from his pocket again and immediately left another message for the bookstore he called just now.

I hope they can add two more boxes of reference exercises for Sachiko Hasegawa.

After all, knowledge is power. Of course, learning this kind of thing should start from an early age. Hasegawa Sachiko may not understand it now, but she will definitely thank him in the future.

After finishing these things, Tonoji also sent Hasegawa Sukiko back to her home first - Hasegawa Riko still had work to do, and there were many relatives of Sukiyaki employees in the Hasegawa home, so there was no need at all. Worry.

After sending Sachiko Hasegawa home, Tonoji also sent Yumi Takahashi and Aoi Fujiwara home one by one, and then went home with Ryoka Konoe.

That’s it for the time being about the premiere of “The Ring”.

But although the premiere is over, it does not mean that the "Midnight Ring" movie is over.

After all, the premiere is just a ceremony where some big names in the industry are invited to support and watch the interpersonal relationships. The real test of the quality of "The Ring" still has to be at the box office.

For example, Kazuya Akasaka, the main writer of "Asashin" who has always been dominated by Higashinoji, made a special trip to buy a movie ticket for "Midnight Ring" and planned to come over to see the quality of "Midnight Ring".

It's not that he wants to make himself uncomfortable.

It's because the release of "The Ring" is a big event for the entire animation industry.

A large-scale production of 600 million yen, Akasaka Kazuya is the main writer of "Assault", and even if he and Higashinoji are in opposite roles, they have to come and see the specific quality.

If you know yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger.

He checked the ticket, thought for a while and rationally did not buy popcorn, fearing that when the scary and tense moment came, he would put the popcorn directly on other people's heads.

No way, these are all lessons learned from reading the "Midnight Ring" comic.

He smashed the TV twice and the coffee table once, causing his wife to call people from the mental hospital and almost sent him to the hospital.

So at this time, it’s better to be a little calmer and watch a movie normally.

And he had to be mentally prepared - he was scared to death by Higashinoji's "Midnight Ring" last time, and he couldn't make the same mistake again this time.

He entered and sat down, and after waiting for almost five minutes, the movie started with the iconic "Tokyo" logo.

The plot is not much different from the original plot of "The Ring".

The beginning is still with Tomoko and Tomoko discussing the cursed video tape. Later, Tomoko was scared to death by Sadako, which was used as the main line to lead to the appearance of the heroine Reiko Asakawa.

This part of the plot really does not need to be changed, and coupled with the dubbing actors' hard-working performances, Akasaka Kazuya gave it a good evaluation in his heart.

According to the ten-point scoring system, he can give this beginning a seven. One point is because he and Higashikata are singing opposite roles, and the score cannot be too high, so he deducted it. The other two points are because he did not read the manga at the beginning. That realistic sense of oppression.

He continued to read, and then he felt something strange in his heart

Because after the heroine Reiko Asakawa appeared, the whole movie felt more three-dimensional.

This dubbing skills

Akasaka Kazuya straightened his relaxed posture and began to watch the movie "The Ring" seriously.

As the plot of the movie progresses, the tense part soon comes.

Asakawa Reiko's son watched the curse video. Accompanied by the movie's terrifying sound effects and Asakawa Reiko's hoarse shouts, Akasaka Kazuya felt a chill all over his body and his face suddenly wrinkled.

This is indeed very oppressive, especially the dubbing of Reiko Asakawa, which feels too...

As this episode passed, Akasaka Kazuya finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was still mentally prepared and was still frightened. However, the spectators next to him who were not mentally prepared were completely frightened. Half dead.

Audience members with female companions were so frightened that they hugged each other. Single audience members without female companions slapped their thighs and kicked their chairs with fear on their faces. Audience members who came to watch the movie in groups of men pinched each other's thighs and mouthed each other. They grinned in pain - but even after being frightened like this, their eyes continued to watch the movie "The Ring" as if they were filled with magnets.

"Fortunately, I was mentally prepared in advance."

Akasaka Kazuya breathed a sigh of relief.

It would be really unreasonable if he was still embarrassed in the movie theater after being mentally prepared.

He continued to read.

The plot is basically the same as the original work of "Midnight Ring" by Higashinoji. He goes to Izu Island, then finds Sadako Yamamura's biological father, reveals the secret, and finally finds Sadako's bones in an ancient well.

The female voice actor was particularly impressive.

A considerable number of the audience were so frightened that they made low noises, and some girls were so frightened that they turned pale with tears on their faces.

In this inexplicable and unclear atmosphere, accompanied by Asakawa Reiko's last line: "Hey, father, I am bringing Yosuke over now. Yes, there are some things I hope you can see."

The entire "Midnight Ring" movie also comes to an end.

But surprisingly, not many people left the venue, and the audience actually stayed to read all the production credits.

This is a rare thing.

But Akasaka Kazuya knew it clearly.

Many spectators present may have had their legs weak from fright, and they are still recovering.

And he got his wish and saw the voice actor of Reiko Asakawa on the dubbing list.

The other party's name is Hasegawa Riko, and she's a voice actor I've never heard of—it seems to be worth exploring.

After getting this only piece of information, Akasaka Kazuya stood up and planned to leave.

But before he could stand up, the movie, which had already announced its end, jumped out of the camera again.

Movie Easter egg? This is quite normal in movies.

Akasaka Kazuya raised his eyebrows as he thought about it, sat down again, and looked up.

Then he froze.

That might be Sadako who killed Takayama Ryuji.

She stood swaying in the camera lens, surrounded by the murmur of television flashes.

When it flashes for the first time.

A cold atmosphere permeated the entire set, and Akasaka Kazuya's eyes were dazzled, as if Sadako seemed to be close to the movie screen.

When it flashes for the second time.

Sadako's image was a little blurry, and she seemed to be turning around.

Akasaka Kazuya rubbed his eyes, feeling an indescribable fear in his heart.

When it flashes for the third time——

Akasaka Kazuya's eyes widened and his mouth widened at the same time.

Because he was horrified to find that Sadako Yamamura on the movie screen seemed to be crawling out of the screen, reaching out to the real world.

boom! ! !

The whole set was a mess.

For a moment, it was like a pot exploded.

This time it really scared the audience!

Even the cinema attendants outside came in to take a look at the situation - those who didn't know better thought there was a war going on inside.

Akasaka Kazuya was also frightened.

In the panic, he didn't know who put the popcorn on his head. This made Akasaka Kazuya barely come back to his senses, and then he sighed with a particularly complicated mood.

The Easter egg at the end of this movie must have been written by Higashinoji.

Because only he has this skill of turning a flat surface into a three-dimensional one.

Akasaka Kazuya was a little speechless.

He defended Higashino for the whole movie, but unexpectedly he lost control at the end.

It's just embarrassing.

Akasaka Kazuya looked back at the movie screen.

On the empty screen, Sadako's figure had long since disappeared.

This made Akasaka Kazuya have an inexplicable idea in his mind——

Did Sadako disappear from the movie or have she left the movie?

Have you entered the real world?

As soon as I think so

Akasaka Kazuya discovered a fact

His hands are itchy

It seems like I want to smash the TV

Thanks to Yinyu Tianhen for the reward! Thank you so much!
