Tokyo life starting with painting

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Motohashi, for causing you trouble."

Hasegawa Riko bowed repeatedly over the phone.

Yesterday, she took the initiative to visit the production team of "The Ring" and bowed apologetically to the production team of "The Ring".

After all, this whole incident has a lot to do with her.

However, the production team of "The Ring" actually didn't care much. Everyone just smiled and said it was no big problem and asked her not to worry about it.

This includes bonus points for her perfect performance as Reiko Asakawa in "The Ring", and also bonus points for her ulterior relationship with Higashino Tsukasa.

Yes.

The production team of "Midnight Ring" really believed that she had some unexplainable important relationship with Higashino Tsukasa.

Since Hasegawa Riko has become famous, she has rejected all the companies that sent her audition invitations and the dubbing agencies that invited her to join. She also politely rejected many reporters who wanted to interview her.

This is a very strange thing.

Because Hasegawa Riko can easily become famous as long as she wins these auditions or signs a contract with a dubbing agency.

But Hasegawa Riko blushed shyly and pushed away all these invitations that could bring huge profits.

This abnormal performance naturally caused many people to speculate, especially the original production team of "The Ring".

During a period when dubbing work was heavy, Hasegawa Riko would even take the initiative to stay overnight at the Tokyo Animation Production Company. She would quietly walk out of the studio late at night with the script for "The Ring" in her hand, and practice her lines until twelve at the end of the corridor. o'clock.

You know it was winter.

Although practicing in the corridor is better than being completely exposed outside, it is still quite cold.

Many employees of the "Midnight Ring" production team admired Riko Hasegawa's rigorous approach to work.

But it also confused them.

At most, Riko Hasegawa is just a hired voice actor, and even if she has a serious professional attitude, she won't be this bad.

"Midnight Ring" is the work of Higashino Tsukasa, and it was not a work drawn by you. Why are you so serious about it?

Someone asked Hasegawa Riko while eating in the staff canteen of Tokyo Animation Production Company. The other person just blushed, smiled, and shook his head to express that it was nothing.

This answer is naturally unsatisfactory - how could it be nothing?

You are no longer serious, but you are really trying your best quietly.

No matter how I asked for the reason, I couldn't pry it out of Hasegawa Riko's mouth, so the employees of the "Midnight Ring" production team would whisper guesses after work.

They guessed and guessed, which reminded them of Higashinoji's actions when he proactively recommended Hasegawa Riko.

Is it possible that there really is some ulterior relationship between these two people?

The more they thought about it, the more they thought it was possible. Even Motohashi Nabuhiro and Toda Shimitsu believed it, and even took some free time to ask Hasegawa Riko about it.

After hearing Motohashi Naihiro's question, Hasegawa Riko's innocent and beautiful face suddenly turned red, but she still didn't speak. She just looked down at her toes and shook her head gently.

Perhaps it was because Sachiko Hasegawa was whispering in her ears all day long. Riko Hasegawa did have a good impression of Higashino Tsukasa.

But that only stopped at the vague liking - she knew that Higashinoji had a girlfriend named Konoe Ryoka, and this point must not be crossed.

She had a semi-unrequited love, and she felt that she had really caused a lot of trouble for Higashinoji, so she quietly worked hard to improve the level of the animated film "The Ring".

Even the voice actor Mizuguchi Koko, who had competed with Hasegawa Riko, couldn't help but call her and asked Hasegawa Riko to accept some audition invitations.

After getting along with each other for several months, Mizuguchi didn't instigate Hasegawa Riko to rebel. Instead, she was moved by Hasegawa Riko's stupidity. She seemed to have become Hasegawa Riko's good sister, trying her best to give her advice.

The more she got involved in the entertainment industry, the more Mizukou Xiangzi realized that there was a lot of muddy waters in this industry. People who competed maliciously put thumbtacks in her shoes, or called and threatened her, or poured laxatives into the water. Things happen all the time - it's really not easy to have a friend who is silly and has no scheming intentions - it's totally okay to say that you're silly and have a shady character.

Especially when "Midnight Ring" became a hit, Mizuguchi even turned down an audition invitation and went to Hasegawa Riko's house to celebrate her.

And this time, she did not suppress her thoughts at all, and scolded Hasegawa Riko with a look of hatred: "Riko! You idiot! If you miss this opportunity for "Midnight Ring", you will be in trouble in the future. It’s hard to be famous again!”

Mizukou Xiangzi is an industry insider, so she naturally knows that if voice actors don't seize the opportunity, the fame they finally obtained will slip away like clouds. Moreover, the momentum and popularity of "Midnight Ring" can be regarded as rare in two or three years. of.

After finally getting this opportunity, there is no need to let it go.

She was very angry, really angry and anxious, but Riko Hasegawa would not let go, which made her so angry that she finally said, "Whatever you think of it," and then ignored her and focused on dubbing her own work. went.

Hasegawa Riko was very apologetic to her.

But she kept her thoughts to herself.

Because she had agreed with Higashinoji that she would only dub Higashinoji's works.

Even if she becomes famous now, she has no intention of breaking this agreement - this is the perfect time to repay the favor she has been pursuing.

When Higashinoji needed her, she would help with vocals, singing, and dubbing. Higashinoji didn't need her, so she helped out at the family sukiyaki shop. She became a dedicated voice actor for Higashinoji, and she could also watch Sachiko Hasegawa. Growing up, having relatively free time is actually not bad.

Hasegawa Riko reached out and prepared to call Higashinoji to greet him and apologize for the impact of this incident.

But she only reached halfway when her cell phone started buzzing.

"Teacher Higashino?"

Hasegawa Riko didn't expect that Higashinoji actually called her. She answered the phone without hesitation: "Hello? Is this Mr. Higashino?"

"It's me." Higashinoji responded: "I called this time because I have something to ask Miss Hasegawa. I wonder if Miss Hasegawa has time now?"

"Do you have anything to ask me for? I have time." Hasegawa Riko nodded repeatedly while holding her mobile phone, regardless of whether Higashinoji could see or not.

""Higashinoji.

Higashinoji was a little amused by her attitude of repeatedly agreeing. He said cheerfully: "Don't be so anxious. Miss Hasegawa is not asking you for trouble this time, but from your former dubbing agency AKB Agency." The president wants to meet you."

"Huh?" Hasegawa Lizi's eyes widened.

She had no idea that her old boss, who had kicked her out before, would take the initiative to visit Higashinoji.

"I'm sorry! Teacher Higashino! I've caused you trouble!"

Hasegawa Lizi hurriedly lowered her head and apologized.

Her attitude was very low, which made Higashino feel a little helpless.

"It's not like you're causing trouble for me."

Higashinoji quickly recounted what happened and the request from the president of the AKB office to Hasegawa Riko.

At the same time, Higashinoji didn't forget to say that he had nothing to do with this matter. If Hasegawa Riko wanted to see the two AKB Office personnel, she could come over. If she didn't want to see them, she could just come over.

When he said these words, he did not avoid the president of AKB Office and his secretary. He said it in front of them, which can be regarded as a slap in their faces.

But even so, the president of AKB Office didn't say anything, he just stood by and laughed.

As a popular comic book author, Higashinoji's "Unnatural Death" single book sales have completely surpassed Ozawada's single book sales. He is considered a pillar of Urashima Publishing House, and Higashinoji has met many animation producers through "Midnight Ring" personnel and even film production personnel, the personal connections

Of course they had to laugh at their expense.

Higashinoji didn't have any unnecessary comments about their expressions. After all, AKB dubbing agency did not deserve sympathy.

If they hadn't wanted to keep Riko Hasegawa in business, and even sent out soft posts to smear Hasegawa Riko afterwards - would there have been such a thing as "Midnight Ring" being in trouble?

Higashinoji not only vented his anger on Hasegawa Riko, but also wanted to vent his anger on himself.

After he made an appointment with Hasegawa Riko, he hung up the phone.

About forty minutes later, Hasegawa Riko arrived at Higashino's house. As soon as she saw Higashinoji, she bowed deeply: "Hello, Mr. Higashino. I'm really sorry to cause you trouble."

"It's not a big deal." Higashinoji smiled and waved his hand: "Miss Hasegawa, you should go and take care of your own affairs quickly."

To be honest, Higashinoji didn't care much about the affairs of a small dubbing agency. He treated them coldly and treated them coldly. It wasn't a big problem at all.

And his attitude is quite personable.

If Hosokawa Koharu, the editor of Urashima Publishing, was here, he would probably kick them out immediately - if it lowers the box office sales of "The Ring", your small dubbing agency will definitely die.

Higashinoji welcomed Hasegawa Riko into the living room, and the negotiation between Hasegawa Riko and AKB Office began.

In fact, this was not a reciprocal negotiation. The other party came with the attitude of apologizing, reconciling, and being beaten from the beginning. Even if they were really scolded by Hasegawa Riko, they would lower their heads in the end and not refute anything.

But Hasegawa Riko has never been someone who likes to curse. She just explained the original matter very calmly and expressed her intention not to return to AKB Agency again.

Everything passed peacefully. Even the president of AKB Office, who had been prepared to be beaten, scolded and even kicked out by Riko Hasegawa, was stunned.

The other party was not aggressive

Next to him, Higashinoji shook his head when he saw it.

Hasegawa Riko is still too soft-hearted. If she were to be Higashinoji, not to mention being so cruel as knocking him out, she would have to let him be shut out for a few days, and then squeeze out all the fat from him.

Higashinoji thinks so, but for Hasegawa Riko, she is really dizzy now.

Chatting with the top boss of AKB Office was something she had never thought about before.

And it was only the animated movie "Midnight Ring" that brought changes to her. All of this was brought to her by Higashinoji.

Thinking of this, Hasegawa Riko felt even more grateful to Higashinoji.

"I understand. Miss Hasegawa. We respect your wishes." The president of AKB Office breathed a sigh of relief, bowed to Hasegawa Riko again, and asked the secretary to bring up a small flat box: "This It’s our firm’s sincerity. Although it cannot make up for the unfair treatment that Ms. Hasegawa suffered in the agency, we still hope that Ms. Hasegawa can accept it.”

This box obviously contained money, and AKB Office didn't want the scandal of its "pillow business" to spread everywhere, so it wanted to use the money to calm Hasegawa Riko's mouth.

"How is this good?" It was obviously the first time for Hasegawa Riko to see this kind of dirty adult transaction. She just stretched out her hand to refuse, but Higashinoji next to her had already spoken: "Take it, Ms. Hasegawa. "

If Hasegawa Riko didn't accept it, the other party wouldn't be relieved. This was just a matter of human sophistication, so Higashinoji took the initiative to persuade her.

"Okay." After hearing Higashinoji say this, Hasegawa Lizi obediently accepted the money.

Seeing Hasegawa Riko accepting the small box, the president of AKB Office breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he turned sideways, stretched out his hand and said to Higashinoji: "Please rest assured, Mr. Higashino, our public relations team will be here soon." Just to eliminate the bad influences from the past, so about Tokyo Animation Production Company."

"It depends on how quickly your company can solve the problem." Higashino smiled and stretched out his hand to shake.

This matter was settled just like that.

It took half an hour in total.

The main reason is that Riko Hasegawa is a girl who is too talkative.

"President, is this over now?" The secretary next to him looked at the president of AKB Office next to him and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Of course it's not over yet." The president of AKB Office took a deep breath, and then looked at his secretary with an angry face: "Because there is a fool in the club who is only thinking about business, our club has lost a promising employee. Voice actor, do you think this is the end?”

He was really angry.

He had seen Riko Hasegawa's performance in "Midnight Ring". She was really the kind of talented voice actor who could be trained to be the company's signature voice actor.

The results of it?

In his backhand, he was stabbed in the back by the idiot from his own company, sending Riko Hasegawa out.

Fortunately, Hasegawa Riko was easy to talk to. If it were Higashinoji next to him, he would have bled more than just that box of yen today.

The more the president thought about it, the angrier he became, as if he wanted to find the person who forced Hasegawa Riko back when he returned.

He will never take mercy on that bastard.

You have to be hung up and beaten at least a hundred times, and then kicked out of the company——
