Tokyo life starting with painting

Contacting Mizukuchiko is definitely not a difficult task for Hasegawa Riko.

After all, the two of them had already become best friends wearing the same pair of pants without Higashino knowing.

Although this description is a bit strange, it is actually the case.

From time to time, Mizukuchi will go to Hasegawa Riko's place to relieve stress - not to engage in some sexy things, but to ask Hasegawa Riko to drink beer with her

However, even though it is drinking, Shuikou Xiangzi usually only tastes it briefly, that is, to stop the craving.

After all, drinking alcohol is bad for the throat, and voice actors like her have to protect their throats at all times.

Originally, Mizukuchi wanted to go to Hasegawa Riko's house for a drink today.

But before she could call Hasegawa Riko, the other party actually took the initiative to contact her.

This makes Mizukou Xiangzi feel a little strange, but she is still quite satisfied in her heart - she is indeed my best friend recognized in the dubbing industry, and I know that I want to have a drink with her today!

She picked up the phone cheerfully.

But before she could say a few words, a particularly strange look appeared on her face.

It's not her fault.

Mainly, the content of what Hasegawa Riko said surprised her.

"Teacher Dongye, do you have something to do with me?"

"Well, I need your help with something."

"Yeah."

Mizukou Xiangzi scratched her little head.

She really didn't know what Higashino wanted to do with her, and a sense of uneasiness inevitably appeared on her face, and she swallowed her saliva at the same time.

The reason why she showed such an expression was actually very simple.

As mentioned before, Mizukiko has appeared in Higashino Studio's animation twice and has also received important supporting roles. These roles have also brought her a lot of popularity.

but

Higashinoji's requirements are really too strict!

Although Mizukou Xiangzi herself feels that she has a good personal relationship with Higashinoji.

But when it comes to dubbing work, Higashino seems to be a different person, putting forward all kinds of strict requirements.

It doesn’t matter what the pronunciation is, the most important thing is that the other party requires you to be emotionally close to the character. If you don’t meet his requirements, you have to dub it again.

If it doesn't work once, do it twice; if twice doesn't work, do it three times. It can be said that there are endless descendants.

One time, Mizukou Xiangzi was in poor condition and had to match more than 20 times in a row but still failed to meet Higashinoji's requirements.

Every time I feel Higashinoji's dissatisfied eyes sweeping over me.

That sense of oppression made Mizukou Xiangzi shrink her head and swallow her saliva - is this the aura of the number one person in the Japanese comics industry today? It's really different.

As for the beauty plan, I’ll have something to eat and drink with Higashinoji.

It’s not like she’s never done this before!

But basically every time he was rejected by Tonoji with a gentle attitude.

Therefore, every time she cooperates with Tonoji, it is the most painful time for Mizukou Xiangzi.

It's not that his devilish aura is bad, but it's just too strict.

She couldn't even take a break in her busy schedule.

Especially the atmosphere every time Tonoji comes over. She always subconsciously follows the other person's instructions.

However, every work of Higashinoji is very popular, and now the characters in his Higashino Studio's works are basically the most sought-after in the dubbing industry.

She couldn't refuse even if she wanted to.

This is what the saying goes, although you may reject it mentally, you cannot reject it physically.

And it was such a master of comics in the industry who took the initiative to come to my door.

Of course, Mizukou Xiangzi kept saying yes, for fear that she would be rude in some way.

She was a little confused.

Because she had also heard about Higashino's promotion of "Spirited Away".

There should be no roles that require a sweet and lively voice like hers.

Why did you ask me for help?

In this way, Mizukou Xiangzi absentmindedly completed her dubbing work in the recording studio.

Then she asked for a leave from her agent, and waited uneasily for Higashinoji and Hasegawa Riko at the appointed restaurant in advance.

After waiting for more than an hour, Higashinoji appeared with Riko Hasegawa.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Ms. Mizuguchi."

"No matter what, I just arrived."

Mizukou Xiangzi said with a smile.

This sentence is not very convincing.

The waiter next to him couldn't help but glance at the customer who had been waiting for more than an hour and had three refills of coffee.

The three of them gathered together to chat for a while, mainly focusing on the matter of Higashino Studio winning the season championship. During this period, someone recognized Higashinoji and the others and came up to ask for their autographs.

After signing the autographs and having dinner, it was time to get down to business.

Hasegawa Riko looked at Mizukuchikako and took the initiative to speak:

"The main reason I came to see Xiangzi this time was about "Spirited Away"."

"Huh? But I remember that there should be no suitable role for me in "Spirited Away"

Mizukou Xiangzi didn't expect that the other party really came here for "Spirited Away".

"It's not about the character."

Hasegawa Riko acted as Tonoji's microphone, got close to Mizuguchi's ear, and explained the whole story in a low voice.

"Want to ask Grandma Xiangli to help record songs?"

Mizukou Xiangzi showed a surprised expression, and even couldn't help but glance at Higashinoji.

She hesitated for a while before shaking her head: "No, please forgive me for being unable to help, Mr. Higashino."

She does respect Higashinoji, but she needs to find her grandma

Then there is no need to discuss it.

"That person will definitely not agree."

Mizukou Xiangzi whispered.

Higashikata didn't miss this, and he felt a little strange.

We haven't even met yet, so why are you so sure she doesn't want to?

"How do you say this? Miss Mizuguchi?"

Higashinoji took the initiative to ask questions.

"Hey, Teacher Dongye, you don't understand that girl in my family."

Mizukou Xiangzi was a little embarrassed to say it, but she still said it: "She is inherently biased against animation and comics. If you ask her to help record songs, it is simply impossible."

It's a bit bad to say bad things about family members, but Mizukou Xiangzi respected Higashinoji, so she explained everything clearly.

It turns out that Shuikou Xiangli had great expectations for Shuikou Xiangzi when she was a child.

I think her voice and appearance are very good, and she is suitable for becoming a singer or actor.

So when Mizukou Xiangzi was a child, she signed up for many child actor training courses.

And Shuikouxiangzi.

"I was a pretty naughty kid when I was little."

Mizukou Xiangzi was a little embarrassed and laughed twice.

She was a naughty child when she was little.

There was no quiet at all.

Even in the child star class, she is also the most active one. Similarly, she does not like to work hard to dance and practice singing.

She was holding back her anger, but at the request of her family, she continued to study.

This situation continued until she entered the rebellious period of adolescence——

Mizukou Xiangzi was tired of having to dance and sing every day and couldn't do the things she liked.

At that time, she loved reading comics, so she decisively jumped from the child actor training class directly to the voice actor school.

This is why Mizukou Kari hates animation and comics so much.

She is a standard Showa woman with a very strong nature. She feels that it is these weak things that discourage Mizukuchi.

As for Shuikou Xiangli’s parents

Her parents didn't say much about her choice and were in a laissez-faire mode.

"Now that I have grown up, I am also a lot more sensible and I understand that Grandma Xiangli really did it for my own good when she asked me to sing and dance."

Mizukou Xiangzi shook her head and said.

This is the mature choice.

She can't always be estranged and angry with her relatives.

And as an adult, her horizons have broadened a lot, and she understands a lot more things than before.

Everything she learned in the child star class can be used in dubbing school. She learned faster than anyone else.

"Later on, I reconciled with Grandma Xiangli, but it's just the same thing. I don't think she has any good feelings towards animation."

Mizukou Xiangzi held the drink cup and said while drinking.

Higashikata didn't expect that there was such a hidden secret in it.

He subconsciously turned the ceramic cup in front of him with his hand, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Ms. Mizuguchi, I would like to ask if Granny Kaori has anything she likes? Or does she have any hobbies?"

You've come, you have to give it a try no matter what, and you can't really be dissuaded by Mizukou Xiangzi's few words.

It's better to do whatever you want.

"Something she likes.?"

Upon hearing this, Mizukou Xiangzi knew that Higashinoji had no intention of giving up.

So she thought for a while and answered: "Grandma Xiangli probably likes children. After all, she is already in her fifties and sixties."

"Like children?"

Hasegawa Riko next to her was a little embarrassed after hearing this.

If you like something, or you like to eat something, you can also put it to your liking.

But I like children

You can't let Higashinoji run into a kindergarten and abduct the children inside, right?

That's illegal!

How can this be done to his liking?

Hasegawa Riko didn't understand and touched her head, then she heard Higashinoji's laughter: "So that's it, I understand. I must ask Miss Mizuguchi to take me to see Granny Karari."

He already had an idea.

Seeing Higashinoji smiling so happily, Mizukou Xiangzi didn't understand for a while.

How is this going?

Is it possible that Higashinoji really plans to break into a kindergarten?

This is wrong no matter how you think about it.

She was confused, but agreed.

The time is set for tomorrow afternoon, just as she has a short vacation after finishing her dubbing work.

The three of them made an agreement, and after a while they broke up and went home.

During this process, Higashinoji also took the opportunity to ask a lot about Mizukou Karuri.

Based on the answers given by Hasegawa Riko and Mizuguchi Kouko, Higashinoji finally understood. The other party should be an old man who is easy to get along with.

A good conversation won't be a big problem.

This made Higashino feel relieved.

He is afraid of meeting the kind of person who disrespects his elders and relies on his elders.

Such people are by no means uncommon in real life.

Things like ‘I eat more salt than you eat rice’, ‘The bridge I cross is longer than the distance you walk’. These are things that cannot be talked about at all.

Fortunately, Shuikou Xiangli was not such a person.

As for her hobbies for children.

Higashinoji already has a clue about this.

Because "Spirited Away" was originally an animated movie for children.

Grasp this point and it shouldn’t be too difficult to convince the other party.

He went back to prepare all the materials for "Spirited Away". While sorting out his original manuscript of "Spirited Away", he also put the simplified score of "Forever Together" at the end of the materials, and then went to close his eyes to rest.

time flies.

An evening of takeout and a morning is not a long time.

The next day, Higashinoji took Hasegawa Riko to Mizukuchikako's house, and he also met her grandmother, Mizukuchikari.

Shuikou Xiangli is a woman in her fifties or sixties.

But he looks surprisingly young, and his hair is basically all black.

Her face is round, but due to the passage of time, it has lost the delicacy of her youth and is a bit flabby.

The relaxed look on her face unexpectedly gave people a feeling of being particularly talkative, and therefore made her look very kind.

However, there was a bit of toughness in her gentle eyes, and she didn't seem to be the type to talk casually.

"Grandma Kaori, this is Teacher Higashino."

Mizukou Xiangzi smiled and said hello to Mizukou Xiangli, and introduced her: "He came here mainly because he hopes you can record a song for his animated film "Spirited Away"."

".Really?" Shuikou Xiang was a little surprised.

Today, my granddaughter took the initiative to say hello to me and said that she hoped to meet someone.

She also firmly believed that he was her granddaughter's boyfriend.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be about recording songs.

Just...an animated movie?

As soon as he heard this word, Shuikou Xiang felt a little headache.

As mentioned before, she doesn't like animation, nor does she like comics, and she doesn't want to help record any songs.

"I'm sorry, Teacher Higashino. I'm glad you came to my door for me, but I'm old and my body is tight. I'm afraid there's nothing I can do to help."

Shuikou Xiangli declined politely.

She didn't change her face instantly when she heard 'animation' or 'comic' like in some novels.

Instead, he politely found an excuse to refuse.

This can be regarded as taking care of the face of his granddaughter and her friends.

Originally, she thought that the matter would be over, and that this handsome and handsome young man would never mention the recording of songs for the animation again.

result

"No, Teacher Xiangli, this song will definitely not be difficult for you. I hope you can at least read it and you will definitely be interested in my story and this song."

Tonoji replied with a smile.

hiss.

Is this the stalker type?

Mizukou Xiangli's face began to turn cold, and her tone was lowered: "I think I have made it very clear, Mr. Higashino, I don't want to record songs, and I don't have much interest in your animated movie."

Her attitude visibly deteriorated.

Si Tono next to him obviously noticed it too.

This time he did not continue to pursue her, but smiled and placed the original painting and song sheet of "Spirited Away" on the table next to him.

"This is part of the information. If Teacher Xiangli has read it and is interested, please be sure to contact me."

There was a bit of persistence just now, but when it almost aroused resentment, he let go decisively.

This made Shuikou Xiangli a little surprised.

She couldn't help but glance at the "Spirited Away" information lying next to her.

Higashinoji's compromise did not change her mind.

Not interested means not interested.

As for seeing some of the original paintings of "Spirited Away", you became very interested?

This is a bit of a joke.

Unless Higashinoji's paintings have their own magic power, why would this thing attract me?
