Chapter 154: Voice Actors and Subcultures

"Voice actor?" When Lee Yo-tae heard Noritaka Kawaguchi's request, he turned his head and looked at the surface of the Sakai Spring. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

This can't be some kind of whole-person project, right? He's just a band lead singer, and he hasn't received any professional voice actor training at all, so he can become an anime voice actor?

"Well, I've never had experience as an anime voice actor." Li Youtai's image of the first brother is undoubtedly revealed.

"This is not a big problem, we think that with Yousang's voice, we don't need much embellishment. Moreover, we have a special instructor on our side, and if you are in the case, you only need to cooperate. This one is Hagiwara Sage, and this one is Minamiri Yoka, both of whom are veteran voice actors. If Yu-san agrees to make a cameo appearance in this animated movie, the two of them will be very good to help you with the relevant voice actor work. ”

Li Youtai looked at the quite intellectual Nanri Yoka, and then at the Japanese drama Oscar Best Supporting Actor regular Hagiwara Sage, "Then, please let me think about it and reply to you!" I came over today, I just wanted to talk about the licensing of the song, but Kawaguchi-san suddenly mentioned the voice actor, and I really didn't have any psychological preparation. I was really taken aback! ”

"It's better to ask Yu-sang to make a decision as soon as possible. Xinhai was supposed to talk to you in person today, but the Canadian partner happened to have something wrong today, and the director Xinhai needed to go in person. So, it's up to us. ”

"When it comes to song licensing, it's not a big problem. But as for the singers, did they really decide to eliminate the eight members of AKB48? ”

Noritaka Kawaguchi explained apologetically, "We are not denying the abilities of the AKB48 members, on the contrary, the musicians at Comix-Wave believe that the live performances of the AKB48 members in Niigata Prefecture are really exciting. It's just that after our unanimous discussion, we still feel that Zard-san's interpretation of "Your Voice" alone will be more suitable for animated films. It's just the difference between a stage show and an anime theme song! Please don't misunderstand what we mean. ”

"Is that so?"

"That's true. We also did the original soundtrack de-comparison, and we realized that the effect of Zard-san's solo singing would be more in line with the situation of the movie than the effect of having AKB48 members working together. Jiaonan Yicheng explained.

Noritaka Kawaguchi, the president of Comix-Wave, and Kakunan Kazujo, the chairman of the board of directors, are a bit of a cajole and deceitful.

Independent animation production companies also can't escape the step of promoting animated films.

When Yusanga broke out to the top of the UK singles chart and the Billboard singles chart, if it is announced that Yusanga will join "The Other Side of the Clouds, the Promised Place" and dedicate his first time as a voice actor to this animated film, I believe that with his current popularity, the number of moviegoers that can be driven will increase by a geometric level.

There is no doubt that Shinkai is excellent, but excellent is excellent, and he is always Miyazaki with Ghibli entrenched above him.

It's really difficult to snatch an animation prize from Ghibli's hands.

Since it's not good at animation, let's start with the box office!

Whether it's a TV station, a general entertainment group, or an independent company, one of the purposes of an animation production company is always to make a profit.

As the CEO of Comix-Wave, Noritaka Kawaguchi understands this very well.

When he walked out of the Comix-Wave building, Li Youtai looked up at the blue sky, stretching his waist to release the depression in his heart.

Although he agreed to the authorization of the single "Your Voice", the fact that the Niigata Eight was excluded from the interpretation of the theme song still made him very unwilling.

Or is it because of the lack of popularity and influence!

It's just that he said that, but he didn't have any other way now.

After all, AKB48 only debuted at the AKB Theater in October last year, and to this day, the only group of Wota who know each of their members is well.

And Wota and Akihabara culture are just a subculture in today's Japan!

Even Japanese animated films (non-anime and non-fiction adaptations) have a large audience, but they are mainstream culture!

This very obvious generation gap is not something that can be easily solved by Li Youtai's words or AKB48, which has just debuted.

Even if he has a huge aura on his head now, it is useless.

Lee Yoo-tae, who has always set AKB48 as a Wota idol, suddenly felt a wave of anger in his heart.

Don't you think that AKB48 is just a representative of a subculture?

Someday, I will let such a subculture conquer the mainstream market!

"What's wrong?" Suddenly, feeling a powerful aura emanating from Li Youtai's originally lazy body, Sakai Izumi turned his head and asked with concern, "I'm angry because the AKB48 members were rejected." ”

"Nope."

"You can't fool me."

"It's just a little frustrating."

"Huh??"

"Okay, okay, I'm a little angry. But not so much, just a little. ”

"Do you want to tell Mr. Kawaguchi that I regret it?"

"Don't be so childish, aren't you? It's already a promised thing, how can anyone regret it so quickly. Sister, don't be naΓ―ve. ”

Sakai Izumi looked at Li Youtai's face that had become serious again, and on the face that had become a little thin because of the condition, a pair of eyes were shining, her lips squirmed for a moment, and finally said, "Nei~ Youtai, if my sister really has no children in this life, will you always accompany me?" ”

Li Youtai looked at Sakai Spring Water with a serious look, stunned for a moment, but immediately said, "Sister, what questions are you asking, didn't you tell you a long time ago?" Even if no one wants you, I will raise you for the rest of your life, like a pig! ”

"Piggy or something, don't want it!"

"Hey~ Are you still Zard-san?"

"No big or small, you pressed your hand on my forehead again, is it itchy again?"

"It's Zard-san, why are you suddenly coquettish?"

"Can't you?"

Li Youtai pretended to be very embarrassed and thought about it for a long time, and the angry Sakai Spring Water was about to give him a kick, but Li Youtai directly dodged him, "Of course not." Zard-san or something, it's the most loving! ”

"Stinky boy, stop me! I'm a patient! ”

"It's the sick who is weird!"
