Chapter Seventy-Four: Voice Actor Training Class
The establishment of the agency can be said to be quiet, after all, Japan at this time does not attach too much importance to voice actors, so it is not easy to train a group of voice actors, and because of this, he had to set up another broadcasting and acting training class to train voice actors.
For this reason, Han Ziguang had to dig up several popular voice actors to suppress the formation, and teach those voice actors who came to learn, of course, including Matsuda Seiko, even if Matsuda Seiko is already an actor and singer, but it is the first time to contact the profession of voice actor.
The salary of voice actors in Japan is not high, many of them are part-time, and there are very few people who focus on voice actors, after all, everyone is also for life, in fact, the remuneration of animation personnel is very low, and it is also because of Osamu Tezuka, in order to reduce the funds for the original production of "Astro Boy", as a generation of manga and animation masters, they didn't take much money, and others naturally couldn't say anything, so it also formed a benchmark that was difficult to cross.
Among the voice actors signed by Han Ziguang, the most famous are Yuji Miya, Masako Nozawa, Noriko Hidaka and Mayumi Tanaka, and Yuji Miya's masterpieces are naturally Tatsuya Uesugi in "Baseball Heroes", Virgo Saga in "Saint Seiya", etc.; Masako Nozawa's masterpieces are Son Goku, Son Gohan, and Son Goku from Dragon Ball, as well as Kirmon and Red Lotus Knight Beast from Digimon 3.
Hidaka's representative works are Minami Asakura in "Baseball Heroes", Akane Amamichi in "Ranma 1/2", Kikyo in "Inuyasha", etc.; Tanaka Mayumi is Ryunosuke Fujinami in "Lucky Star Kid", Wataru Senbe in "Dragon Fighter", Klin in "Dragon Ball", Liu Angxing in "Little Master of China", Luffy in "One Piece", etc., are all very powerful characters.
It's just that the current Hidaka Noriko and Tanaka Makoku have only debuted recently, so they are not very famous, but Yuji Miya and Masako Nozawa are also old-timers, and they naturally have the ability to teach everyone, and there are more than 20 students in the first batch.
Han Ziguang also feels that it is very good, there is a feeling of a wireless TV training class, and he can provide a platform for those voice actors, which is also very good, and it is also a very good thing to allow many voice actors to earn extra money in addition to work.
What's more, there are currently two animations about to be produced and one animated movie, which is enough to arrange work for these voice actors, and the building near the water is the first to get the month, so I will naturally arrange work for my employees first, these are some common sense issues, and there is no need to worry about casting.
It can be said that Han Ziguang's light and shadow agency is the first agency to provide services specifically for voice actors, and some character songs will appear in the anime, and the agency and the animation company will jointly release the record when the time comes. In this way, Han Ziguang can be regarded as opening up a way to make money for voice actors, because voice actors don't need to sing well, but they are very memorable, enough to make those otaku crazy.
The management of the brokerage firm, Han Ziguang directly handed over to He Chaoqiong, after all, those who are capable work hard, and He Chaoqiong is not particularly interested in the entertainment industry, but she likes singers very much, so she manages mainly because she has a favorite singer who has the opportunity to invite to join.
On June 1st, the day when the Japanese branch of Light and Shadow Publishing House officially released "Young Magic", Han Ziguang, He Chaoqiong, Kazuhiko Torishima and other high-level personnel of the publishing house all gathered here to wait for the results, after all, the sales on the first day directly affect the future release.
In fact, advertising has been done before, especially the posters about "Saint Seiya", "Chess Soul" and "Transformers" all over Tokyo, etc., among which the coolness of the characters of "Saint Seiya", the handsomeness of "Chess Soul", and the "Transformers" Optimus Prime and Megatron's hanging bombardment, have attracted the attention of many people among teenagers, basically including works of every age of teenagers, but unfortunately I don't know if Japanese teenagers will like it.
Han Ziguang looked at the content of "Young Magic" and found that everyone else was restless, so he couldn't help shaking the comics in his hand and said with a smile: "What's wrong with all of you?" Now that our comic magazine is doing a great job, and both the cover and the content are engaging, why should people sit still? ”
Everyone rolled their eyes when they saw Han Ziguang's relaxed appearance, at this time, it seemed that Han Ziguang was the most calm person, but others were not, after all, today's events decided the way out in the future, after all, like Kazuhiko Torishima, he had already gambled his future on such a big gamble, if he couldn't do a good job of the branch of Light and Shadow Publishing House in Japan, it would be his most wrong decision, and vice versa.
Therefore, it can be said that the sales of "Young Magic" will determine the fate of many people such as Kazuhiko Torishima for a lifetime, and Han Ziguang has other careers, so he naturally doesn't care too much, of course, part of the reason is that he has strong confidence in his own works, and he feels that he will not fail.
Han Ziguang is actually very nervous, but at this moment, it is not the time when he should be nervous, after all, everyone is in a state of mind at this time, which will cause a lot of pressure, and his easy face will be a kind of strength for others.
"President! How much do you think our comic magazine will sell? Seeing Han Ziguang's relaxed appearance, Kazuhiko Torishima couldn't help but say curiously: "If we can sell 500,000 copies, it will be very successful, after all, Shueisha's "Shonen Jump" has sold 3 million copies, Kodansha's "Shonen Magazine" has sold about 2 million copies, and Shogakukan's "Shonen Sunday" is about 1.7 million copies. ”
"The sales of the Shogakukan seem to be the lowest among the three major publishing houses at the moment!" When Han Ziguang heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Then our first goal is to surpass "Young Sunday" first, at least to break the situation of three competing for power." ”
"President! In fact, on the surface, it seems that Shueisha, Kodansha, and Shogakukan are competing for power, but in fact it is not. Kazuhiko Torishima shook his head and said, "Shueisha is actually a department that was separated from Shogakukan in order to compete with Kodansha, and in fact, it has the same owner behind it, that is, a subsidiary of the Hitotsubashi Group. ”
"Huh! …… In this way, Kodansha is not easy! Han Ziguang was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Then there is no need for the Kodansha family to fight alone, since Shueisha can become the number one selling manga magazine in just a few years, then we will create a miracle in a shorter time." ”
Han Ziguang didn't know how fierce the competition between Shogakukan and Kodansha was at the beginning, so the Hitotsubashi Group decided to create Shueisha to attack Kodansha, but now the situation is that Shueisha is the dominant family, and he also has to re-establish his goal, and he must make "Shonen Magic" by Light and Shadow Publishing House the largest manga magazine in Japan, breaking the joint blockade of Shueisha and Shogakukan.
