"Ah... that, Mr. Higashino, I don't want you to give me the heroine every time I say this... That... Even if it's a supporting role, I'm willing to dubbing."

After Hasegawa Riko said the previous words, she felt that something was wrong with what she said, so she hurriedly added.

She simply wanted to thank Higashinoji... and as a voice actor, the only thing she could do was to show off was voice... so she proposed this idea, not to use this relationship to move up.

Because Higashinoji gave her this only chance.

She has been standing by the door of Dujing Animation Production Company for a long time. When it was cold and cold, she also requested many animation supervisors or deputy supervisors, hoping that they could give herself a voiceover opportunity.

But there are very few people who can get a response. Basically, every cover letter is in a dilemma and occasionally responds. I hope she can use her physical side as reward in exchange for some irrelevant roles.

This made Riko Hasegawa feel deeply insulted.

But after all, she had a delayed and procrastinating matter with AK89, and under the other party's public relations operation, her online reputation and public opinion are not optimistic.

Most supervisors are unwilling to invest resources in her unknown voice actor, and a small number of supervisors are interested in her pure and delicate face.

Even when she herself wanted to give up, Higashinoji, who had left two days ago, suddenly came to visit her and expressed her willingness to give her a chance to audition the heroine.

You know that it is an animated movie of "Midnight Bell".

To invest 600 million yen in a big production, I don’t know how many people have to dig their heads into the production team of "Midnight Bell".

Even if it is a supporting role, I guess I will have to choose it at that time.

But Higashinoji was willing to give himself this opportunity.

Riko Hasegawa is a simple and serious girl. She just likes dubbing and doesn't understand the twists and turns in the industry. She just simply likes Higashinoji's works.

This is also the most important reason why she refused to open a pillow.

Higashinoji attaches so much importance to her, so she certainly doesn't want to make Higashinoji embarrassed, so she said: "As long as there is something useful to me, as long as Teacher Higashino calls me, I will definitely come to help."

After saying that, Hasegawa Riko didn't care whether Higashinoji could see it or not, and bowed respectfully with the phone.

As for what happened after "Midnight Bell" became famous... she couldn't control it anymore.

Anyway, she really has no plans to join other firms, and has made up her mind to just dubbing Higashinoji's works-

"I understand. We will still have opportunities to cooperate in the future, Miss Hasegawa."

Riko Hasegawa is a special voice actor who came to her home, and of course Higashinoji had no reason to refuse.

The next thing was simple. He made Hasegawa Riko familiar with the Taiwanese script and tried to directly take down the role of Reiko Asegawa the day after tomorrow.

"Huh...it's the end for the time being." Higashinoji was in a clear mood when he picked up Hasegawa Riko, so he simply stopped eating and went back to the stairs, intending to finish painting the original storyboard that he had not finished drawing today and then have a good meal.

But he only took two steps and met Motohashi Yoshihiro head-on.

A man in his forties was followed by Yoshihiro Honhashi. Next to the man in his forties in formal attire was a graceful girl.

They lowered their heads and didn't know what to discuss.

On the other side, Higashinoji just glanced at him and felt that he was not as beautiful as Konomiya, so he naturally moved away his gaze, and at the same time said hello to Honhashi Masahiro: "Brother Honhashi."

"Ah, it's Brother Higashino. Come on, let me introduce you to Brother Higashino. This is Mr. Ishioka, the agent of Okaren's firm. The next one is his popular voice actor, Miss Kako Mizuko."

Honhashi Yukihiro also happened to look up and see Higashinoji, so he quickly reached out to introduce: "This is Higashinoji, the original author of "Midnight Bell", and is also the animation script and main person in charge of the production team of "Midnight Bell".

When Motohashi Yasuhiro introduced Ishioka and Mizuko Kako before, his attitude was not actually very enthusiastic. After all, he was the supervisor of "Midnight Bell". Ishioka and the others came here to have a good relationship and had a familiar face. Of course, he didn't have to be too polite.

When he introduced Higashinoji, his attitude was full and his tone was very enthusiastic, giving Higashinoji a lot of face.

Not to mention anything else, there is nothing to say about this attitude in the Japanese workplace. Not to mention anything else, at least Higashinoji feels very comfortable.

but...

Shuikou Xiangzi?

Higashinoji thought to himself that this is the No. 1 candidate for Reiko Asagawa that Masahiro Honhashi was not satisfied with the other two days ago? He is a competitor of Reiko Hasegawa.

Only then did he take a serious look at Mizuko Kaori.

The other person looks in his twenties, medium-length hair, cute and stylish, and dresses very fashionable... probably the type that requires demeanor and not warmth.

Anyway, Higashinoji felt cold when he looked at it.

But to be honest, the other party does have an advantage in publicity - it is just in idol promotion.

In 2003, the Japanese idol industry gradually recovered. In a few years, voice actors (voice actors) generally used to hype and operate them as idols.

But unfortunately, "Midnight Bell" is a horror animated movie, and it is somewhat problematic to promote such a baby face.

No wonder Motohashi Yokohiro was not very satisfied with her before.

As he thought so, Ishioka on the other side had a lit up eyes.

In front of me, this is Higashinoji, the original author of "Midnight Bell", and he is also an animation script author with a lot of voice in the main creative team. Of course, I have to flatter you.

In addition, Higashinoji's work "The Winner Is Justice", "The Lonely Foodie" is currently being serialized in magazines. It may be TV dramatized or animated, so there will be this opportunity to have a good relationship with him... Ishioka is naturally unwilling to miss it.

He walked up with Mizuko Kako, bowed and handed over two business cards with both hands; "Hello, Teacher Higashino, I have long admired Daemon, I am Naoto Ishioka."

One business card belongs to Ishioka himself, and the other one belongs to Kako Mizuko.

"Hello, hello." Higashinoji naturally could not say what he was thinking in person, so he smiled and stretched out his hand to shake the two of them.

Even though Higashinoji's appearance was as beautiful as he was, and his kind and friendly temperament made Mizuko Kako next to Ishioka's eyes flash.

She felt that if she had put on Higashinoji's thigh, the position of the heroine would definitely not be missing in the future.

So Shuikou Goko smiled sweetly, and smiled like she could melt the iceberg: "Hello, Teacher Higashino, I have always been interested in "Midnight Bell" and I have always wanted to see you."

It's normal for her to speak without pretentiously.

Higashinoji was quite satisfied with this competitor, so he nodded and said, "Then brother Benhashi, you can talk. I still have the original painting work to do."

As he said that, he was about to take a step away.

But before he could take two steps, he was stopped by Motohiro Honhashi.

Higashinoji stopped, not quite understanding what he meant: "Brother Honhashi, are you...?"

"Don't worry, Brother Higashino, it just so happened that Sang Ishioka and Miss Mizuguchi came for the role of Reiko Asagawa in "Midnight Bell". You happened to be here, so you can help you make your own ideas."

Honhashi Masahiro explained one sentence.

oh...

It turned out that it was for the character Reiko Asagawa.

Originally, Higashinoji thought the other party was just a familiar face, but he didn't expect that he was so ambitious.

Honhashi Yuhiro told Higashinoji about this, probably because Higashinoji strongly recommended Hasegawa Riko.

While he explained it clearly, he also cared about Higashinoji's face... I have to say that Honhashi Yukihiro is indeed a personal talent.

"Kanko is confident that she will play the role of Reiko Asagawa. Supervisor Honhashi, please give her this opportunity. Moreover, Kako's conditions are also very good. At present, no one should be more suitable than Kako, right?"

Ishioka next to him was still whispering to persuade Honhashi Shin-hiro.

What he said is basically half true and half false.

Although Mizuko Kako is really good, it is not that far.

The main reason is that "Midnight Bell" is a big production, and he doesn't want to miss it.

In addition, this kind of casting is basically a first win. As long as you give Honhashi the animation supervisor a good impression, the voice actor will basically win steadily.

Kako Mizuko next to her was also very smart. She didn't say a word, but only looked at Daohiro Honhashi with her big eyes, her pitiful look on her face, which made people feel sympathetic.

"...What do you think? Brother Higashino?" Of course, it was impossible for Higashihiro to let go so easily. He pondered and gave the right to Higashinoji.

This made Ishioka and Mizuko Kako feel a little nervous - it seems that Higashinoji's status in the production team is much higher than they thought.

Generally speaking, the author of this kind of animation casting has the power to suggest, but there are few such supervisions that depend on the face of the animation script.

In response to this, Higashinoji smiled and said to Ishioka and Mizuku Kako with a kind expression: "Actually, you don't have to be so anxious. The audition session the day after tomorrow. As long as Miss Mizuku performs well, this role is of course hers and no one can take it away. Of course, I personally am very optimistic about Miss Mizuku, and I think she can succeed."

He had a gentle look and was kind when he spoke, but as soon as he heard the content, Ishioka and Mizuku Kako knew it was going to be bad.

Higashinoji is just refusing.

The meaning of the words is also very clear... You just attend the audition honestly. If you have the strength and suitable, we will hire you. If you are not suitable, you will be defeated. There is no back door to go here.

Ishioka didn't expect that this young man who looked peacefully asked him to eat the stone as soon as he spoke.

You should know that even the Honhashi Daohiro next to him had been practicing Tai Chi for a long time, and he did not show a complete attitude.

This made Ishioka cough and answered very simply: "I understand. Thank you, Teacher Higashino for valuing Kako. We will work hard to overcome the difficulties and pass the audition session."

He said a word of official words and had no choice but to stick to it.

After all, the purpose of being familiar with Motohashi Masahiro has achieved its goal. Although it is a pity that he cannot directly decide the candidate through the back door, he also believes in Mizuko's dubbing strength.

It is definitely not difficult to win the role of Reiko Asagawa.

And didn’t Higashinoji say it too?

He is also very optimistic about Mizuko Kaori.

Since Higashinoji has a good impression of her, he will have a more sufficient grasp of the next audition session.

Overall, it's still profitable.
