Chapter 207. I want to smash the TV (8000 words)
Needless to say, the plot of "Midnight Bell" is handled by Tsukasa Higashino himself, so of course he will not deviate.
And most of the most critical original art parts are also solved by Tsukasa Higashino, which is even more worry-free.
Honbashi Daohiro and Toda Shimitsu are worthy of being well-known golden partners in the industry, and the overall control can be said to be very in place.
But aside from all this, the most eye-catching is undoubtedly the voice of Riko Hasegawa.
A good voice actor can give a character a soul, and this sentence is definitely not something that is said casually.
Riko Hasegawa really brought the role of Reiko Asakawa to life.
Whether it's the gentleness and kindness when interviewing students about the cursed tape, or the desperate and helpless voice when he learns that his son Yosuke has also watched the cursed tape.
Through her unique voice, it seems that the role of Reiko Asakawa has really been played.
If "Midnight Bell" has nine points, then at least two points are from the voice acting of Riko Hasegawa.
Yumi Takahashi on the side was frightened for a while by the dubbing of Reiko Asakawa played by Riko Hasegawa, Aoi Fujiwara stared at the movie screen, as if she was still immersed in the movie just now, and Ryoka Konoe was lost for a long time and did not move.
The four of them are all old fans of "Midnight Bell", but they are still scared to the point of watching this animated movie of "Midnight Bell" - the most important thing is that Reiko Asakawa voice actor is too powerful, right?
How the hell is this performed? Could it be that he really went to the world of "Midnight Bell" and recorded the voice of Reiko Asakawa in that world?
Even Sachiko Hasegawa next to her was so frightened by her sister's interpretation of Reiko Asagawa that half of her body hung on Tsukasa Higashino, and her big eyes burst into tears, and she couldn't stop it.
There were also other industry insiders in the venue, who looked at "Midnight Bell" and discussed it softly.
This quality... It's remarkable.
Who's that voice actor? Riko Hasegawa? It's a bit impressive, but who is looking for a voice actor? Why is it that such a powerful person is not famous?
They all thought about it, and they planned to find someone to inquire about this voice actor when they went back.
Of course, the sooner the better.
Of course.
Except for Riko Hasegawa, they couldn't help but shake their heads after looking at the names of the main person in charge of the original painting and the scripter.
Tsukasa Higashino...
It's Tsukasa Higashino again.
What's going on with this person? How can anything be a little?
Sigh, indeed sigh.
This discussion continued until Tsukasa Higashino and the others withdrew.
"It's so pretty! I bet "Midnight Bell" will definitely break the record at the box office! Sure enough, it was the original drawing that Higashino-sensei was responsible for, and it made me experience a completely different feeling from the manga. Yumi Takahashi only chattered after he walked out of the set.
It's really different from when you read comics.
Tsukasa Higashino's manga inexplicably comes with immersive special effects, which are terrifying to death.
Although the animated film "Midnight Bell" is the original painting written by Tsukasa Higashino, it also has some of this special effect... But it's not as remarkable as the comics, replaced by the character's realistic voice acting skills and superb concept shots.
The dynamic 'animation' and the static 'manga' can only be said to have their own merits...
If anything, Yumi Takahashi actually likes comics more - but that doesn't stop her from touting the animated movie "Midnight Bell".
Because it's really pretty.
She was chattering excitedly over there, and Aoi Fujiwara, who was next to Tsukasa Higashino, was a little curious: "Speaking of which, Reiko Asakawa's voice actor is inevitably too powerful... Is that Miss Riko Hasegawa just now? It's really powerful. Does Higashino-san know which voice actor agency she is a voice actress for? ”
Fujiwara Aoi was indeed a little surprised, she had never heard the name of this Riko Hasegawa, so even after reading the list of the program production team behind her, she couldn't remember the other party's name for a while, so she could only ask Tsukasa Higashino at this time.
For her question, Higashino Tsukasa just wanted to answer, but Sachiko Hasegawa next to her finally relieved herself, raised her head and replied: "My sister said that she would only dub her good-looking big brother, and she would not consider joining other firms." ”
As soon as these words came out, Aoi Fujiwara and Yumi Takahashi next to them looked at Tsukasa Higashino, and a suspicious look appeared on their faces.
What's going on?
Private for life? Or only dubbing Tsukasa Higashino?
Faced with the questions of Aoi Fujiwara and Yumi Takahashi, Tsukasa Higashino didn't show any panicked expression - he and Riko Hasegawa really have nothing, so why show timidity in this case, just explain the topic honestly.
He thought about telling Riko Hasegawa about her previous experience as a 'snowman' in front of the Tokyo Animation Production Company in the winter, and then mentioned herself in a slightly artistic way.
It was he who helped Riko Hasegawa, and the other party wanted to repay the favor, so he agreed to dub him alone.
After saying this, Aoi Fujiwara and Yumi Takahashi accepted it, and Ryoka Konoe even quietly wiped her tears.
It's really a touching story.,Riko Hasegawa chased her dreams and ended up encountering a pillow business.,Then meet Tsukasa Higashino, a noble man who helps... Tears, really tears.
At the same time, the image of Tsukasa Higashino is getting higher and higher in their minds...
Misunderstanding cleared.
Tsukasa Higashino secretly exhaled - he certainly hadn't forgotten Sachiko Hasegawa, who was talking nonsense just now.
This is definitely a war criminal! Always on the side to make trouble!
It seems that a box of reference books is not enough.
Higashino took out the phone from his pocket again, and immediately left another message for the bookstore that had just called.
Hopefully, they'll add two more boxes to Sachiko Hasegawa to do with reference exercises.
After all, knowledge is power, and learning this kind of thing must of course start from an early age, and Sachiko Hasegawa may not understand it now, but she will definitely thank him in the future.
After doing these things, Tsukasa Higashino also sent Sachiko Hasegawa back to her house first - Riko Hasegawa still has work to do, and there are many sukiyaki employee relatives in Hasegawa's family, so there is no need to worry at all.
After sending Sachiko Hasegawa home, Tsukasa Higashino also sent Yumi Takahashi and Aoi Fujiwara home one by one, and then went home with Ryoka Konoe.
The premiere of "Midnight Bell" is over for the time being.
But although the premiere is over, it does not mean that the movie "Midnight Bell" is over.
In the final analysis, the premiere is just a ceremony to invite some industry bigwigs to come over and watch interpersonal relationships, and what really wants to test the quality of "Midnight Bell" really has to look at the box office.
For example, Kazuzu Akasaka, the main writer of "Asahin", who has always been dominated by Tsukasa Higashino, also made a special trip to buy a movie ticket for "Midnight Bell", ready to come over to see the quality of "Midnight Bell".
It's not that he doesn't feel uncomfortable.
It's because the release of "Midnight Bell" is a big event for the entire animation industry.
For the 600 million yen production, Kazuya Akasaka, as the main writer of "Asahin", and even if he and Tsukasa Higashino sing against each other, they have to come and see the specific quality.
Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles.
He checked the ticket, thought about it and thought about it, but he didn't buy popcorn or other things, for fear that when the time came, he would put the popcorn directly on other people's heads.
No way, these are the lessons of blood in exchange for watching the "Midnight Bell" comics.
He smashed the TV twice and the coffee table once, so that his wife directly called the people from the mental hospital to come over, and almost didn't send him in.
So it's a little bit more robust at this time... It's good to watch a movie in general.
And he has to be mentally prepared - he was scared half to death by Tsukasa Higashino's "Midnight Bell" last time, and this time he can't repeat the same mistakes.
He sat down and waited for about five minutes, and the movie began with the iconic 'Tokyo' logo.
The plot is not much different from the original plot of "Midnight Bell".
The beginning is still Tomoko and Tomoko discussing the cursed tape, and then Tomoko is scared to death by Sadako, which is used as the main line to lead to the appearance of the heroine Reiko Asakawa.
This part of the plot really doesn't need to be changed, coupled with the hard work of the voice actors, Kazuya Akasaka gave a good evaluation in his heart.
According to the ten-point scoring system, he can give a score of seven at the beginning, one point is because he and Higashino Tsukasa are singing against each other, and the score can't be too high, so it's deducted, and two points are because this beginning doesn't have the realistic sense of oppression when reading comics.
He continued to look at it, and then he felt a little strange in his heart...
Because since the appearance of the heroine Reiko Asakawa, the whole movie feels more three-dimensional.
This dubbing skills...
Kazuya Akasaka straightened the sitting posture that had been relaxed just now, and began to stare at the movie "Midnight Bell" seriously.
As the plot of the movie progresses, it soon comes to the tense part.
Reiko Asaka's son watched the curse tape, and with the terrifying sound effects of the movie and Reiko Asaka's hoarse shouts, Kazuya Akasaka only felt a chill all over his body, and his face suddenly wrinkled.
It's really oppressive... Especially the voice acting of this Reiko Asakawa ... It feels like it's too...
With the passage of this plot, Kazuya Akasaka finally breathed a sigh of relief, he was still mentally prepared, but he was still scared enough, and the audience next to him who was not psychologically prepared was completely scared half to death.
Audiences with female companions were so frightened that they hugged their female companions, single viewers without female companions slapped their thighs and kicked chairs, their faces full of fear, and the audience who came to watch the movie in teams of men and men pinched each other's thighs and grinned in pain - but even if they were scared like this, their eyes were still like magnets, and they continued to watch the movie "Midnight Bell".
"Fortunately, I was mentally prepared in advance."
Kazuya Akasaka breathed a sigh of relief.
If he was mentally prepared and still embarrassed in the cinema... That's a bit of a stretch.
He went on.
The plot is basically the same as the original book of Tsukasa Higashino's "Midnight Bell", going to Izu Island, then finding Sadako Yamamura's biological father, revealing the secret, and finally finding Sadako's bones in the ancient well.
Among them, the female voice actor is particularly impressive.
A considerable part of the audience was so frightened that they let out a low whisper, and some girls were so frightened on the spot that their faces were full of tears.
In this indescribable atmosphere, accompanied by Reiko Asakawa's last line: "Hey, father, I'm coming over with Yosuke right now, yes, there are some things I want you to see." ”
The entire "Midnight Bell" movie also came to an end.
But unexpectedly, few people left the venue, and the audience actually watched all the production staff sheets.
This is a rare occurrence.
But Kazuya Akasaka knows it clearly.
Many of the audience present estimated that their legs were frightened and weak, and they are still relieving...
And he also got his wish and saw the voice actor of Reiko Asakawa on the dubbing table.
The other party's name is Riko Hasegawa, and she is a voice actor who she has not heard of much - it seems to be very valuable to dig.
Having captured this only piece of information, Kazuya Akasaka stood up and planned to leave.
But before he could stand up, the movie that had already been announced to be over and over jumped out of the camera again.
Movie Easter eggs? This is quite normal in the movie.
Kazuya Akasaka raised his eyebrows when he thought about it, sat down again, and looked up.
Then he froze.
That may have been Sadako who killed Ryuji Takayama.
She stands in the middle of the camera and staggers, surrounded by the cacophony of television.
When flashing for the first time.
The gloomy atmosphere permeated the entire set, and Kazuya Akasaka's eyes were a little dazzled, as if... Sadako seems to be approaching the screen of the movie.
When flashing a second time.
Sadako's image is a little blurry and seems to be turning around.
Kazuya Akasaka rubbed his eyes, and there was an indescribable fear in his heart.
When it flashes for the third time—
Kazuya Akasaka's eyes widened and his mouth grew at the same time.
Because he was horrified to find that Sadako Yamamura on the movie screen stretched out her palm to the real world as if she was about to climb out of the screen.
Rumble!!!
The whole set was a mess.
For a moment, it was like frying the pan.
This time it really scared the audience enough!
Even the movie theater attendants outside came in to take a look at the situation—those who didn't know thought there was a war going on here.
Kazuya Akasaka was also scared enough.
In the panic, I don't know who put the popcorn on his head... This made Kazuya Akasaka barely come back to his senses, and then he sighed with mixed feelings.
The ending credits of this movie must be written by Tsukasa Higashino.
Because he is the only one who has the skill of turning a plane into a three-dimensional one.
Kazuzu Akasaka is also a little out to say.
He guarded against Higashino for a whole movie, but he didn't expect to lose his temper and overturn at the end.
It's a shame.
Kazuya Akasaka glanced back at the movie screen.
On the empty screen, Sadako's figure has long since disappeared.
This made Kazuya Akasaka inexplicably have an idea in his heart -
What exactly did Sadako disappear into the movie... Or is it already out of the movies...
Got into the real world?
Thinking so...
Kazuya Akasaka discovered one thing...
His hands are a little itchy...
It seems that some people want to smash the TV...
