Chapter 379: Voice Actor Choice

After the eighteenth episode aired, Lancer Zhao Yun's dismal exit unexpectedly caused confusion in the audience circle of "Fate/zero", especially the users of the [BiuBiuBiu] website. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Originally, Zhao Yun's popularity in China's ACG circle was not low, and since he exited with this unexpected ending, it has attracted a lot of dissatisfaction from the audience, they think that Lancer's exit is okay, but at least give a formal way to exit, after all, even Caster is relieved by hugging the [Sword of Oath Victory].

Lancer Zhao Yun was defeated by Saber Artoria or conquered King Iskandar, no matter how hard it was to force out Archer, who seemed to have the highest combat power, Gilgamesh was able to defeat all the strengths, and a very popular supporting character was even more aggrieved than Assassin, and was ordered to commit suicide by the master using a spell.

The audience can't blame the culprit, Director Kenneth, who did everything for his beloved fiancΓ©e Sora, and in Kenneth's eyes, ordering the Heroic Spirit to commit suicide to withdraw from the [Holy Grail War] is a more unacceptable ending than letting him die in battle, tarnishing the honor that belongs to the Magic family of Aqipolud. As a result, it took so much to pay, and Director Kenneth was not greeted with a happy ending to officially withdraw from the Holy Grail War. Severely injured by a bomb hidden in Sora's body by Kiritsugu Emiya, and buried by the ruins of the Dumped Building, the only thing he can do is to give Emiya Kiritsugu and the Victory of the Holy Grail a curse of resentment like a ghost crawling out of hell.

Lancer Zhao Yun's exit caused a stir in the Chinese ACG circle, and he had already shown signs of being unable to vote in popularity, but after his exit, he once again surpassed Saber to become the most popular Heroic Spirit. Saber is nominally the heroine of "Fate/zero", the protagonist of "Knight's Twilight", and the impression of this heroic female knight is a plus, and many halos are added to surpass Lancer Zhao Yun in popularity, and you can see how popular Zhao Yun is in the Chinese ACG circle.

The withdrawal of the Lancer group was quite sudden, which made the audience feel aggrieved and unacceptable, and the audience in District 11 left messages of protest on the official website of the [Edge-no-Kong] animation production company.

"Hey, hey, hey! Wouldn't this plot be too unexpected? The spearman who could use his martial arts to contend with the conquest of the King Iskandar EX-level treasure [King's Army] left the field so easily? ”

"Lancer left the scene, but in the end, he didn't let the character of Kenneth escape, wasting all Zhao Yun's efforts."

"Zhao Yun's group is all defeated!"

"It's a delicate ending, but it's also expected, Kenneth, as a magician who values honor, wants to fight with Emiya Kiritsugu, a man with a [magician killer], and it's natural that the ending is so miserable. If I were Kenneth, a Heroic Spirit as strong as Zhao Yun wouldn't lose so completely, even if I wanted to lose. ”

"Emiya Kiritsugu is probably the coldest male protagonist of all the anime I've come across, and according to normal development, shouldn't Kenneth quit [Holy Grail War] and live a normal life with his fiancΓ©e Sora!"

"There are about eight episodes left in the anime, and the next plot should be exciting, and I guess the next one to leave is Berserker. The previous plot can be seen that although Tosaka Shichen sent his daughter out with his own hands, it was also out of love for his daughter, and after Jin Shining defeated Berserker Lancelot, he learned the true image of Sakura's suffering, and Tosaka Toshimi eliminated the Maki family by the way and brought Sakura out = perfect ending. ”

・・・・・・

There were too many voices of dissatisfied feedback from the audience, and there was also a threat to send a blade to Yu Kamiya, and this comment was quickly caught and ridiculed by the audience in District 11, Blade? At the beginning, there were still people holding daggers, and they were not put down by him with one move.

Yu Kamiya made a short interview with Chiyo Bookstore's anime magazine "New Genre of Animation" to explain: "From the beginning, this battle was not above board, the [Holy Grail War] was a battle that risked his life, so there will be magicians like Kenneth who value honor above all else, and there will also be killers like Emiya Kiritsugu who will not compromise their means to achieve their goals, Emiya Kiritsugu is undoubtedly the most suitable ruthless killer for war." Lancer Zhao Yun is very strong, and the only place where he fails is that his master is Kenneth. ”

"To be honest, if I were to participate in the [Holy Grail War] myself, then the last enemy I wanted to face would be Emiya Kiritsugu."

"In the next plot of the anime, you viewers can also see why Emiya Kiritsugu grew into such a ruthless killer and what happened to him."

This interview foreshadows the plot of Emiya Kiritsugu's memories later, and the death of Kuyu Maiya leads to Emiya Kiritsugu's past memories. This memory is very important for the character of Emiya Kiritsugu, as the soul character throughout the anime, he has an important quality that almost all young hot-blooded anime protagonists will have - a righteous partner.

However, the process of executing justice by Emiya Kiritsugu is not to change the world with a mouth cannon, but to use a kind of almost cruel ruthlessness that runs through his heart to weigh the weight of justice as a scale. In the past, his ideal was only to save everyone in front of him as much as he could, and the chips he gave up for the fulfillment of justice along the way had become an obsession in his heart, and he lived a mechanical life with the belief that "the sacrifice of justice should not be wasted".

He was never a heartless man, he loved everyone, so the scales of justice were always tilted in favor of the majority, even if this justice was in the category of "evil".

To create a character like Emiya Kiritsugu, in addition to the natural character qualities, the acquired experience is more important.

Yu Kamiya adjusted the overall rhythm of the second half of the "Fate/zero" anime, and as the memories of Kiritsugu Emiya's past were revealed, the audience's criticism of Lancer Zhao Yun's exit gradually decreased. If it is said that the price paid by Emiya Kiritsugu is more than anyone else, and the audience approves of his methods, then this time Lancer Zhao Yun's exit is a matter of course.

The audience's controversy over the characters and the plot increasingly illustrates the depth of the animation's portrayal of the characters.

・・・・・・

The screen of the recording studio, silent animation is playing.

"This is the Holy Grail..." Emiya Kiritsugu walked in the spacious corridor of the opera house, staring at the golden chalice of Chinese beauty floating in the air, with only utter indifference in his eyes. He slowly raised his right hand, the last spell engraved on the back of his hand lit up slightly and disappeared, and he ordered indifferently and solemnly: "Order again with the third spell, Saber, destroy the Holy Grail completely!" ”

"Kiritsugus..." Saber turned abruptly and looked straight at Emiya Kiritsugu, unable to comprehend the meaning of his order, but his eyes could read his almost hateful aversion to the Holy Grail. The absolute command of the spell made her body move uncontrollably, and she raised the golden holy sword in her hand, and under the effect of the spell, she instantly liberated the true name of the treasure [Sword of Oath of Victory], and the golden light gathered into a horse, and the spacious opera hall looked too small in front of the golden light.

"You should be thirsting for the Holy Grail more than anyone else, but why would you order the destruction of the Holy Grail now."

Saber had a bitter face and one last trace of doubt, and the golden torrent of his hands had smashed down, destroying everything in front of him.

She didn't understand, maybe it was a punishment for her, the unkind knight king.

・・・・・・

Half a day later, all the dubbing work for episode 26 of "Fate/zero" was officially completed.

"Stop, thank you guys."

Yu Kamiya took off the headphones and nodded to Shindoji next to him and said, "Then I'll go to the studio and say hello to the voice actors." ”

Shintangji also stretched his waist, and waved his hand indifferently and responded, "Ah, it seems that I will be able to get a good night's sleep next week." ”

Yu Kamiya pushed the door into the studio and praised the voice actors who had completed the dubbing: "Thank you for your hard work, the dubbing level of the twenty-sixth episode of today's "Fate/zero" anime is also very perfect, and now the dubbing work of the entire anime is over, thank you for your cooperation during this time, and I apologize for the inconvenience I caused to you during this time. ”

Yuko Toki, the voice actor who voiced Saber, was the first to stand up and bow respectfully to Yu Kamiya, "We have been taken care of by you during this time, and we have benefited a lot from you. ”

The voice actress Amamiya Hanai, who voiced Alice Phil von Einzbelen, smiled mischievously in Alice Phil's voice, "Our side is the one." ”

"Good work."

"Good work, Superintendent Kamiya."

"Superintendent Kamiya, how about everyone go out for a drink to celebrate the completion of the animation dubbing session?"

The voice actors of the other characters came over to greet him, because Yu Kamiya had dubbed Lancer before, and some of the male voice actors were already familiar with him, so they didn't speak politely.

Yu Kamiya did not postpone this drinking party, and let Shindoji arrange it as usual.

Other times it's understandable not to attend the drinking party, and it seems unkind to not hold a drinking party to celebrate after the animation dubbing work is completed.

・・・・・・

The banquet is in full swing.,Kamiya Yu can't help but sigh in his heart The magic of the 11th district cocktail party,It can eliminate the estrangement caused by each other at work.,As long as the conflict in the workplace is not to the point of life and death, it's basically a matter of toasting at the cocktail party.,Now the atmosphere on the male voice actor's side has become warm.,Talking about the interesting things they encountered in their dubbing careers.,Forget the status gap caused by their qualifications in the voice actor industry.。

"Please." Yuko Higashiki's delicate and upright face was flushed, and she didn't know if it was because of drinking or other reasons, she held the bottle in both hands and respectfully poured sake for Yuu Kamiya.

"Thank you."

Yu Kamiya took a sip of sake and asked with a little concern, "Miss Higashiki, speaking of which, you're still dubbing for "Knight's Twilight", how is it going now?" ”

"Yes, there are probably two more rounds of dubbing work to complete." Yuko Higashiki nodded cautiously, then "Knight's Twilight" is also entering the end of production, and the overall production progress is slower than "Fate/zero". The animation "Knight's Twilight" also achieved good results, and its popularity in the October drama was second only to "Fate/zero", leaving off the third place by a large margin, and it is basically foreseeable that the scene of BD's big sale will be sold in the future.

The hit of "Knight's Twilight" has won Saber a lot of popularity, and the [NiceNicer] video website has won the first place in the popularity voting list of female characters in October dramas.

"Na~Na, Superintendent Kamiya, when can you arrange a new dubbing job for me?" Amamiya Hanai, who was sitting opposite Yu Kamiya, interrupted the conversation, maintaining a professional coping smile, because she also drank wine and blushed, she held her little face in both hands and looked at Kamiya Yu with a grin and asked.

Generally, the more well-known animation supervisors will have their own team, which is not limited to animation production companies, but a chain of cooperation formed by the network accumulated in the industry, including music production, voice actor selection, series composition, etc. Gen Hibuchi is not an animation director, but his popularity also gives him a certain right to speak in animation production, and he likes Riya Koyama very much (Kiritsugu Emiya) and Chiichi Seki (Gilgamesh voice actor), both of whom are the voice actors of "Fate/zero" in the plural of old fictional works.

After two collaborations, Yuko Higashiki and Hanai Amamiya are both the royal voice actors of Yu Kamiya, as long as the role positioning is appropriate, then they are the first to consider.

Yu Kamiya put down his glass and teased with a smile, "Our company is really going to make a new animation next quarter, and if you want to get a job, you will try to pass the audition by yourself." ”

"Eh, I'm not confident in myself, can Superintendent Kamiya relax the restrictions a little bit or reveal the news?"

Yuko Higashiki glanced at her and whispered, "Huayi, this sentence is very rude to Superintendent Kamiya. ”

Amamiya Hanayi blinked at Yu Kamiya, this kind of little girl-like cunning did not make him feel disgusted. He waved his hand and smiled: "It's okay, the next animation I plan to make does have a main character that is very suitable for you, and the setting is a more mature and calm woman, well~ It can be said that it is the opposite of Alice Phil's same type, and there are also roles that are more suitable for Miss Toki." ”

"To be honest, there are a lot of characters who will appear in the next anime, and it will save a lot of things by using the voice actors of Fate/zero."

Yuko Higashiki pulled the hair from her ears, poured a glass of sake for Yu Kamiya, and smiled softly: "Is that so, and at that time, I will also ask Superintendent Kamiya to give me a lot of advice." ”

-- This is the modern man, although he talks about it very rudely, when he encounters something that concerns his own interests, he spares no effort to fight for it.

Amamiya Hanai chuckled.

"Hua Yi, what did you say just now?"

"Me? I didn't say anything. Amamiya Hanayi sat innocently and covered her mouth.

――Ahhh~ I accidentally said it just now.
