From White Box To Supervision

Chapter 79: Helpless Seiyuu Meeting (Below)

“I am against the choice of Miss Ide. If I choose her on the premise of singing well, isn’t her singing ability particularly bad? Isn’t it also written in the remarks column that you need to sing a ‘character song’? This is a big problem. If the problem is also taken into consideration, I should choose Shindaijiya, and the character song can also be released casually.”

Takashi Yarase maintained his objection. As a music company, what he said was naturally in line with his own interests, and he chose a seiyuu with good singing skills to facilitate the release of CDs.

“Are you going to release a character song?” Kinoshita Seiichi also heard it for the first time: “But…but this doesn’t seem suitable.”

“Naturally, it will be released. The market is now releasing character songs. Where can there be seiyuu who can’t sing.”

Watanabe Hayabusa retorted: “Of course, the job of a seiyuu is to be a seiyuu, not a singer.”

Takumi Yarase stood up slightly: “It’s been a long time since you had this idea, and your thinking is really backward. Because of this, the animation industry will slowly shrink. It’s not the Showa era, and voice actors must be able to sing. The voice actors of the era just need to be versatile.”

Shendaijiya? Zhang Beichuan thought for a while, and suddenly the corners of his mouth twitched. If he remembered correctly, Shenda Siya seems to be in his seventies. Although the age of seiyuu selection is not particularly big, it is too outrageous. A grandmother in her 70s matches a 17-year-old heroine. This is not something that strength can make up for.

“You can’t just consider whether she can sing well or not, but also whether she can participate in business activities. Taking this into account, there is no doubt that the most suitable one is Yuriko Yonezawa. Looking at her figure, I’m sure that when it comes to business activities, it is only based on Appearance can attract a large number of fans, and the sales of special editions will definitely explode. Although my job is important now, appearance is also very important.” Shen Tianqiang, a producer affiliated to DKrace, said excitedly with a data sheet.

“Uh, may I ask, why haven’t I heard of such a seiyuu in the industry.” Zhang Beichuan asked weakly, because he searched carefully in his mind and really didn’t remember that there was such a seiyuu in the industry.

“Yes, she has nothing on her resume, is she a newcomer?” Kinoshita Seiichi also asked.

Watanabe Hayabusa explained: “Because I basically have no experience in dubbing, I can be considered a newcomer if I insist, and my main job is to portray idols.”

Photo… Idol! Zhang Beichuan is speechless. He is not saying that it is not good for people from other professions to dub, but it must be only a rare part. After all, seiyuu still needs very professional knowledge. It does not mean that it is ok to read the lines once.

“Let’s listen to the sample first.” Kinoshita Seiichi said.

Soon, Mr. Katsuragi brought the sample over. This is an audio tape, which records the voice of the dubbing staff.

“Hurry up, all spread out and prepare to attack.”

“But…that’s no real protection at all…”

“What’s the point of everything we’ve worked hard for then?”

Here are some of the lines in it.

……

This…

Zhang Beichuan is about to collapse, what kind of dubbing is this? Even reading it is a compliment. It is simply read according to the lines, no emotion at all. Be strong.

Kinoshita Seiichi was silent for a moment, then said, “After listening to her audition tape, her acting skills are very…”

Kinoshita Seiichi didn’t say the next words, but everyone knew what it meant.

“It’s very stiff.” Watanabe Hayabusa sighed.

But Shen Tianqiang didn’t care at all. Instead, he pointed his finger and said, “This will give people a pure feeling. Now it’s a very common behavior to let a layman play the leading role, and the chest is also very big.”

Hey, the last sentence is the point, okay? Zhang Beichuan complained in his heart.

The three largest investors all recommend different candidates, but the only exception is that one candidate is not reliable.

Mr. Yingsuke Yuancheng recommended Miss Ide because it could scare the popularity of the super popular seiyuu, but Miss Ide has a very strong voice actress, but her voice line doesn’t match at all, or it just doesn’t match up at all.

For the sales of his company’s music CDs, Yarase Craftsman supports voice actor Yasumi Shendaiji. The reason is that he has good singing skills, and his singing skills are the main core, but also to be able to sing character songs, but the problem is that Yasujiya is more than seventy years old. In the 1970s, dubbing a seventeen-year-old girl was impossible. With the advancement of technology, it is impossible for people to become a girl’s voice.

Maybe later, but not now.

Shen Tianqiang supports Yuriko Yonezawa for his own business cooperation. The reason is that he has no voice acting ability because of his appearance, body, and shortcomings.

None of these three people take the strength of the voice actors as their standard, and they don’t care about the quality of the animation. They are all based on interests.

This meeting is not so much the selection of seiyuu~www.readwn.com~, but rather a game of interests for the capital side.

“Sure enough, the committee’s method has given animation a great development, but the drawbacks are also really big. The investors are simply in their own way and cannot form a good cooperative relationship. For animation, it has also changed from a quality story to a fancy one. Characters and voice actors don’t care about the quality of the animation at all.” Zhang Beichuan sighed in his heart.

Regarding the committee system, Zhang Beichuan is also very complicated. The committee system invented by Anno Hideaki has undoubtedly greatly accelerated the development of the animation industry, but the drawbacks are also very big, but this cannot be blamed on Anno Xiuming, nor the committee. , If there is no such way, animation development will definitely be decades behind, animation is art? Yes, animation is art, but it also starves artists.

It’s just yin and yang, there are good and bad!

“However, the teacher is also very embarrassed.” Zhang Beichuan glanced at Kinoshita Seiichi, who was in a cold sweat. Mr. Kinoshita’s personality is not a tough type, and it is difficult to answer the oppression of investors for a while. If it is a tough supervision, Maybe immediately rejected.

At this moment, Mr. Watanabe stabbed Zhang Beichuan in the leg,

“Bei Chuan-kun, please go out and pour some tea. I don’t think it will be finished for a while, and everyone is thirsty.”

Zhang Beichuan immediately understood that this was to buy time for the supervisor.

“I see.”

Walking out of the conference room, Zhang Beichuan came to the kitchen where Musashino boiled water.

“Kikawa-kun, how’s the seiyuu negotiation going?”

Miyamori Kui was also inside, watching Zhang Beichuan come out and asked curiously.

“Don’t mention it, it’s really hard to say.” Zhang Beichuan let out a sigh of relief.
