Chapter 212. I'm going to hang him up and beat him a hundred times (4000 words)(1/2)
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Honhashi, I've caused you trouble."
Riko Hasegawa bowed repeatedly on the other side of the phone.
She took the initiative to visit the production team of "Midnight Bell" yesterday and bowed to the production team of "Midnight Bell" with apologies.
After all, this whole storm has a lot to do with her.
However, the production team of "Midnight Bell" didn't care much. Everyone just smiled and said that there was no big problem, so please don't care.
Among them are the bonus points for her perfect performance in "Midnight Bell", and the bonus points for her ulterior motives with Higashinoji.
Yes.
The production team of "Midnight Bell" really thinks she has an indescribable important relationship with Higashinoji.
Since becoming famous, Hasegawa Riko has rejected all the companies that sent her voice-examination invitations and the dubbing firms that invited her to join, and has also politely rejected many reporters who wanted to come to interview.
This is a very strange thing.
Because Riko Hasegawa only needs to win these auditions or sign a contract with a dubbing firm... her huge fame is simply within reach.
But Hasegawa Riko blushed shyly and pushed away all the invitations that could make huge profits.
This abnormal behavior naturally aroused many speculations, especially the group of people in the production team of "Midnight Bell".
During a period of heavy dubbing, Riko Hasegawa would even take the initiative to stay at the Tukyo animation production team company. At night, she quietly walked out of the studio with the "Midnight Bell" script, and at the end of the corridor, she recited the lines until twelve o'clock.
You know that it was the winter.
Although practicing in the corridor is better than being completely exposed to the outdoors, it is still quite cold.
Riko Hasegawa's rigorous spirit of treating her work made many employees of the "Midnight Bell" production team feel a little impressed.
But it also confuses them.
At most, Riko Hasegawa is a hired voice actor, and even if she is serious in her professional attitude, she will not be so.
"Midnight Bell" is a work by Higashinoji, not a work you drew, why are you so serious?
Someone asked Riko Hasegawa while having dinner at the employee cafeteria of Tukyo Animation Production Company. The other party just blushed and smiled, and shook his head to say that there was nothing.
This answer is naturally unsatisfactory - how could it be nothing?
You are no longer serious, but you are really working hard silently.
No matter how you ask for the reason, you can't pry it out of Hasegawa Riko's mouth, so the employees of the "Midnight Bell" production team will make low guesses after work.
They came to guess the past, and this reminded him of the actions of Higashinoji who took the initiative to recommend Riko Hasegawa.
Could it be that there is really an ulterior motive between these two people?
The more they thought about it, the more they felt that it was possible. Even Motohashi and Shikami Toda believed it a little, and even made a special trip to take some free time to ask Riko Hasegawa about this.
When he heard Honhashima and the others asked, Riko Hasegawa's innocent and beautiful face turned red suddenly, but she still didn't say anything, just looked down at her toes and shook her head gently.
Perhaps it was because Hasegawa Yukiko was blowing in her ears all day long, Hasegawa Riko really had a good impression of Higashinoji.
But that was just a step at Yu Menglong's favor - she knew that Higashinoji had the girlfriend Konomiya Lianghua, so she definitely couldn't cross the line.
She was half unrequited, and she felt that she had really caused a lot of trouble to Higashinoji, so she worked silently to raise the level of the animated film "Midnight Bell".
Even the voice actor Mizuku Kako who had competed with Riko Hasegawa at the time couldn't help calling her and asked Riko Hasegawa to answer some audition invitations.
After getting along for the past few months, Mizuku Kako did not "incite" Riko Hasegawa, but was moved by stupid and stupid people like Hasegawa. She became Hasegawa Riko's good sister and tried her best to give her advice.
The more you are in the art world, the more you feel that there are really many muddy waters in this industry. People who are maliciously competing put thumbtips into her shoes, call to threaten them, or put laxatives into the water... This kind of thing is common - it is really not easy to have a silly and silly friend who is not very scheming - it is absolutely fine to say that silly and silly is completely fine.
Especially when "Midnight Bell" became popular, Kako Mizuko made a special trip to turn down an audition invitation and ran to Riko Hasegawa's house to celebrate.
And this time, she didn't suppress her thoughts at all. She cursed Hasegawa Riko: "Riko! You idiot! If you miss this opportunity in "Midnight Bell", it will be difficult for you to become famous again in the future!"
Kako Mizuko is an insider in the industry, so she naturally knows that if the dubbing actors do not seize the opportunity, their reputation will slip away like clouds and mists. Moreover, the momentum and popularity of "Midnight Bell" can be regarded as a rare encounter in two or three years.
I finally had this opportunity, so there was no need to let go.
She was very angry, really angry and anxious, but Riko Hasegawa didn't let go, which made her so angry that she said, "Whatever you think about it?" and stopped caring about her and focused on the dubbing of her works.
Riko Hasegawa is very apologized for her.
But she kept her own thoughts.
Because she had agreed with Higashinoji, she would only dubbing Higashinoji's works.
Even if she became famous now, she didn't intend to break this agreement - this was the good time she had been pursuing to repay kindness.
When Higashinoji needs it, she will help to perform, sing, and dubbing. Higashinoji doesn't need her, so she helps at her home Sukiyaki shop, being a special voice actor for Higashinoji, and watching Hasegawa Sakiko grow up... Such a relatively free life is actually pretty good.
Riko Hasegawa reached out to call Higashinoji to greet him and also apologize for the impact of this storm.
But her hand was only halfway through, and the phone started to tinkle.
"Teacher Higashino?"
Riko Hasegawa didn't expect Higashinoji to call herself on the initiative. She answered the phone without hesitation: "Hey? Is it Higashino teacher?"
"It's me." Higashinoji responded: "I called here this time because I had something to find Miss Hasegawa... I wonder if Miss Hasegawa has time now?"
"If you have something to ask me...? I have, I have time." Hasegawa Riko held her phone here and nodded repeatedly, regardless of whether Higashinoji could see it there.
"..." Higashinoji.
Higashinoji was a little funny by her repeated agreement. He said happily: "Don't be so anxious, Miss Hasegawa... This time it was not me who asked you for something, but the president of your former dubbing firm AKB firm, who wanted to see you."
"Hey?" Riko Hasegawa widened her eyes.
She had never expected that the old boss who had driven her out of the house would take the initiative to visit Higashinoji.
"I'm sorry! Teacher Higashino! I've caused you trouble!"
Riko Hasegawa hurriedly lowered her head to apologize.
Her attitude was very low, which made Higashinoji a little helpless.
"It's not that I'm causing trouble..."
Higashinoji quickly recounted the incident and the request of the president of AKB firm to Riko Hasegawa.
At the same time, Higashinoji did not forget to say that he had nothing to do with this matter. If Hasegawa Riko wanted to see these two AKB staff members, she could come over, and she would be fine if she didn't want to see them not come.
When he said these words, he did not avoid the president of AKB and his secretary, and just said it in front of them, which was considered as slapping them in the face.
But even so, the president of AKB firm didn't say anything, just stood beside him and smiled.
As the popular comic author, Higashinoji's single-line book "Unnatural Death" has surpassed Ozawada's single-line book sales, and is considered a major pillar of Urashima Publishing House. In addition, Higashinoji has met many animation producers and even film producers through "Midnight Bell", among which
Of course they had to laugh.
Higashinoji did not make any extra statement about their expressions, after all, AKB dubbing firm is not worthy of sympathy.
If they hadn't let Hasegawa Riko pillow open for business, and afterwards they made a special post to smear Hasegawa Riko - would there be such a thing as "Midnight Bell" that would have been in trouble?
Higashinoji not only vented his anger for Riko Hasegawa, but also vented his anger for himself.
After he made an appointment with Riko Hasegawa, he hung up the phone.
About forty minutes later, Hasegawa Riko rushed to Higashino's house. As soon as she saw Higashinoji, she bowed deeply: "Hello, Teacher Higashino. I'm really embarrassed to cause trouble for you."
"It's not a big deal." Higashinoji smiled and waved his hand: "Miss Hasegawa should go and handle your own affairs quickly."
The matter of a small dubbing firm... To be honest, Higashinoji didn't care much at all. He treated them coldly, and there was no big problem at all.
And his attitude is quite graceful.
If Hosokawa Koharu, the editor of Urashima Publishing House, was here, he would probably drive them out immediately - if the box office sales of "Midnight Bell" were lowered, your small dubbing firm would definitely not be able to escape death.
Higashinoji welcomed Riko Hasegawa into the living room, and the negotiations between Riko Hasegawa and AKB firm began.
In fact, this is not a reciprocal negotiation. The other party came from the beginning with an apology, reconciliation, and beating. Even if they were scolded by Riko Hasegawa, they would still lower their heads and not refute anything.
But Riko Hasegawa has never been a material that likes to curse people. She just explained what happened clearly and expressed her willingness to not return to AKB firm again.
All of this passed quietly, and even the president of AKB, who had already been ready to be beaten and scolded and even kicked out by Riko Hasegawa, was stunned.
The other party was not aggressive...
Higashinoji next to him shook his head when he saw it.
Riko Hasegawa was still too soft-hearted. She wanted to be Higashinoji, not to mention that she was so cruel to knock the other person out, but she would have to let the other person be turned away for a few days and then squeeze out all the blood of the other person.
Higashinoji thinks this way, but for Hasegawa Riko... she is so dizzy now.
Chatting with the top boss of AKB firm is something she had never thought about before.
What brought her change was just the animated movie "Midnight Bell"... All of this was brought to her by Higashinoji...
Thinking of this, Hasegawa Riko was even more grateful to Higashinoji.
"I understand. Miss Hasegawa. We respect your wishes." The president of AKB firm breathed a sigh of relief, bowed to Riko Hasegawa again, and asked the secretary to bring a flat small box: "This is some of our firm's intentions. Although it cannot make up for the unfair treatment that Miss Hasegawa suffered in the club at the beginning, I still hope that Miss Hasegawa can accept it."
This box obviously contains money, and AKB does not want scandals like "pillow business" for its own business, so I want to use this money to stabilize Riko Hasegawa's mouth.
"This...how is this good..." Riko Hasegawa obviously saw this dirty adult deal for the first time. She just reached out to refuse, but Higashiji next to her already spoke: "Please accept it, Miss Hasegawa."
If Riko Hasegawa didn't accept it, the other party would not be relieved. This is a simple way of human relationships, so Higashinoji took the initiative to persuade him.
To be continued...
