Chapter 117: Shi Chen - Qili
"This young lady is the newcomer you said Tosaka-sensei, right?"
At the audition party, after greeting each other, the animation company recommended him strongly, and the supervising director, who was well-known in the industry, looked at Nanami, who was trembling slightly beside Shi Chen, and asked.
"Hmm" Shi Chen nodded, and introduced to the other party, "Qingshan Nanami, a pure newcomer, has not participated in a dubbing once." β
"You say there's a P for this!" Someone's nonsense made the superintendent scold in his heart - but in front of others, he had to save some face for the gold owner, so he had to ask directly:
"I don't know what Tosaka-sensei thinks this is, um, - which role in the anime Miss Aoyama is suitable for?"
"Here's the next part of Fate/Zero." In response to his question, Shi Chen did not answer directly, but handed over the part about Kiritsu's Papa's memories that he had taken out of the manuscript printed out by Kuta, "Please read it before commenting." β
"You're done?" Looking at the thick pile in someone's hand, the supervisor with the artist's long hair asked in surprise - the speed of completing hundreds of thousands of words of novels in a month, should it be said that it is worthy of a monster with the name of genius?
"Hmm." For his surprise, Shi Chen's face remained unchanged, and he handed over the rest of the part again, "Originally, I was going to shoot one season first, but now, let's finish filming two seasons at once." β
"Oh?! Want to finish two seasons at once? β
"Don't worry-I'll arrange haode over there, and I don't have to worry about the funds. You just have to do your job. Have you finished reading it? β
ββ
"What are you looking at me for?" Looking at the superintendent who stopped to stare at him, Shi Chen frowned.
"Nothing." The Overseer shook his head, "Sure enough, there are only wrong names, no wrong nicknames." β
"If you don't take me in your eyes, the person who claims to be the king without knowing the height of the sky and the height of the earth, two of them have come out overnight!"
"Next."
On stage, a male voice actor has just finished performing the first line, and the judges' bench - in fact, the first row of the audience, is just someone and the supervisor are there, so let's call it that. Someone just announced his fate.
The overseer sitting next to him did not express any objection to his arbitrariness, but on the contrary bowed his head slightly, apparently thinking that the one on the stage was not suitable.
And the one on the stage did not show any emotions such as frustration, sadness and frustration, and after greeting the audience, he retreated. It's not that he's open-minded, it's that his goal isn't for the role of Twinkle - not everyone can only try one role in this audition, but as long as they are the same gender and about the same age, they will try each one - maybe the next two will feel that he is better suited for the other role?
The first to play was the male voice actor, the female voice actor was ranked behind, and now the third male voice actor is on the stage.
Among the main characters in the first season of FZ (that is, the first 13 episodes), there are seven royal lords and seven heroic spirits, plus other characters, there are more than 30 characters in total, and among them, there are more than 20 male characters, and there are only about ten women (three Lori, three wives, a heroic spirit, a little three, one Obasan, and a girl A), according to this ratio, when the superintendent selected the voice actors, the men chose more than 30 people, and the women chose almost 20 people, logically speaking, Letting the female voice actors appear early is more conducive to improving efficiency, but, I don't know which tendon is wrong - cough cough, on the surface, it is to reflect the gentlemanly demeanor of men, so that the ladies have more time to prepare, and someone decided to let the men come first.
The selection went very smoothly, whether it was the cold-blooded and ruthless Kiritsu, the elegant and innocent Shichen, the heroic and uninhibited emperor, the cool and sparkling of the mad two, or other characters, they all found the right person - this has to be said to be the credit of the overseer. This middle-aged superintendent, who is known for his profound skills in the industry, has a very accurate eye for people, and basically the voice actors he chooses are very suitable for the characters in FZ - of course, the large amount of money supplied by someone is another reason why the voice actors work so hard.
until
"That's impossible. If this war is stable enough for me to make this agreement with you, then there is no need for you and your wife to take refuge, right? The voice was slightly apologetic, but the smell of emptiness was missing.
"Next." Death penalty.
"That's impossible. If this war is stable enough for me to make this agreement with you, then there is no need for you and your wife to take refuge, right? "Your voice is basically qualified, but what do you mean by that frank tone? Is it an honorable thing to be an apprentice who can't protect a teacher?
"Next."
"That's impossible"
"Next."
"Well, why don't you go up and try it, Mr. Tosaka?"
When all the male voice actors couldn't find one who could not be brushed down by someone, during the break in the middle, the supervisor sitting next to someone suggested to him with a serious face.
"Me?"
"Yes, that's you." Looking him straight into the eye, the overseer's gaze was blazing, "After reading your novel, I had this idea in my heart - and now, it's time for it to become a reality." β
The overseer's suggestion made Shi Chen a little moved, but his reason didn't allow him to do it - the analysis post he sent last time was enough to kill him, if he went into battle shirtless again this time, maybe after the animation was broadcast, everyone would treat him as a happy party member like Mapo Shining, so they would stay away from him!
"You know, Your Excellency, I'm busy."
"Of course I know Tosaka-sensei, you're busy, but, lookβ" The overseer spread his hands, "You denied all the other candidates I could find, and now you're the only one left, if I don't choose you, who else can I choose?" β
Probably thinking that this was not enough to impress him, he continued to persuade: "And as far as I know, when writing this book, this priest Qili was shaped by reference to your own personality and psychology, so you can play in your true colors where others need skill and experience. More importantly, you are the author of the book, and no one knows each of the characters in the book better than you and is better able to express the meaning behind them. Honestly, if it weren't for the age inappropriateness, I'd even prefer you to be the voice of the character with your name. β
Everyone has said this, and if Shi Chen refuses to resign, it will be too demoralizing - and, from the bottom of his heart, he still has some desire to participate in the dubbing - more or less, everyone has a star dream in their hearts.
"Okay." He pushed his glasses, "But, what happened to Aoyama after thatβ"
"Yes" Seeing that he was convinced, the superintendent was very happy, "As long as Miss Aoyama's qualifications are not too bad, Xia Li's voice actor will choose her, after all, this role was specially designed for her!" β
"You're thinking too much." Shi Chen said indifferently.
"It'sβI'm thinking too much." The middle-aged uncle's voice was long, and he winked at him.
Seeing that he had misunderstood, Shi Chen didn't explain much - there are some things that are handled coldly is the best way, otherwise, the more he describes, the darker it becomes,
Everything went very smoothly after that, whether it was the selection of voice actors for other female characters, or the question about Nanami - I don't know if it was Shi Chen's face or Nanami who really reached the level of debut, after watching her performance, the overseer uncle made a decision on the spot: It's you! She was stunned for a moment and then ecstatic. And Shi Chen, naturally, will not have any objections.
Aoyama Nanami, just like that, debuted.
