Chapter 30: The Audition and the Smile from the Abyss

With the help of Maika Iwami's "suddenness", Mad Poihat's key team for the production of "Black Rock Shooter" has been formed.

Although some of them are external personnel, the overall production core can no longer be said to be weak, and even some parts benefit from the pre-joining of "cutting-edge talents", and some production links can even be said to be "advanced...... With a production budget of 120 million and about 70 minutes of production, if Miyayo plays a cheeky style, he can even say something like "take it and squander it" to his members.

The central issue of photography has been discussed through this production meeting, and the rest of the content to be discussed is more detailed.

For example, the Black Rock shooter who is the protagonist in this work is a three-no character, so Miyadai put forward a request for a revision of Ono Ling's character design...... Her overall style needs to be a little more neutral.

For example, for the storyboards supervised by Kishi Seiji, especially some key action scenes, Miyadai Song rejects the kind of "dazzling" frequent cut-to-shot expression...... The performance method of slicing the fight scene as thinly as minced meat is the most inexpressive embodiment, and even a little level of supervision should understand this truth.

After this production meeting, the Black Rock Shooter will move on to the official production process.

The three characters of supervision, performance, and concept art will be based on the storyboard of the supervision, and the layout (composition) of the animation will be finalized, and then the painting can be started.

In this link, the palace will not participate in it as much as possible, and he will not be able to do it if he is asked to do the original painting. Although he studied painting, his style was closer to sketching when he was asked to draw people - simply put, his figures had too many lines, too high quality shadows, and too detailed expressions to be used as original paintings.

The so-called good original artist is not only a good original artist, but also a fast and good original artist...... The reason why most paintings collapse is not because of any problems with the original painting's drawing ability, but because the production cycle is too rushed.

Of course, there is one more important work to be done before the painting can begin...... Audition and casting.

The significance of voice actors to an animation work is self-evident, and the acting skills of voice actors are directly related to the expressiveness of the work...... Even if the picture is excellent, if it does not have the expressiveness of sound, it is a failure.

After Miyayo completed the outline and script, the company's copywriter compiled it into a script, and then sent it to each voice actor office along with an invitation to audition...... Most of the mailing directions are to Tokyo, and most of the voice actor offices are concentrated in Tokyo.

But choosing a voice actor is indeed a very metaphysical thing, if you want to ask the voice actor if you need acting skills? The answer must be yes, and even some characters have that feeling of "no one belongs", but more often than not, a role needs a voice actor with a score of 60, and the voice actor who can score 60 points is simply how much, who to choose at this time?

As a result, it is rumored that various transactions have taken place between the voice actor and the overseer......

Of course, the occurrence of certain bad phenomena has become less and less, not because the character of the supervisor is getting better and better, but because the choice of the character is already difficult in the hands of the supervisor, especially for the protagonist.

For example, in the work Black Rock Shooter, the heroine's voice actor Gong Daisheng must have to interfere, because she involves ListenNepster's "virtual idol" plan, and the real right to make a decision is essentially in the hands of the investor.

…………

In Tokyo, there is a studio called Smile Monkey, which also runs voice actor activities.

Considering some peculiarities, Mad Poihat's audition invitation was done on a large scale, so the studio also received the script.

This "peculiarity" mainly refers to Mad Poihat's request that the recording of "Black Rock Shooter" be done in Kyoto rather than in Tokyo, or because of this location, many voice actors will refuse to participate in the audition.

Fujiwara is one of the managers of this company, and he is also the agent of some of the voice actors, and one of the focuses of his work is the management of new voice actors.

"Even though the recording took place in Kyoto, some newcomers may feel that it is a long way off, but there is good news...... According to the animation company, they don't mind using new characters for the main roles, and even say that they would prefer the heroine to be played by a new voice actor with excellent acting skills.

"Even though the work itself is only six episodes and the recording can be completed in three parts, this anime will be linked to a larger project, and I personally judge that this is a great opportunity for you." Fujiwara introduced the "Black Rock Shooter" and Mad poihat to the newcomers in front of him.

"So the trip to Kyoto is still worth trying."

Since Kuroiwa is the same image as Hatsune as a virtual idol project, the choice of voice actors this time will involve the issue of future sound sources, and it makes sense that Mad Poihat and ListenNepster want a fresh voice.

Voice actors are also a highly competitive industry, and because it is not easy to work, newcomers do not stay in the company all the time, or there are many young newcomers who use the firm as a "training center", and they need to gradually develop and grow their strength and experience in this kind of place.

There are even female students in Smile Monkey's office.

But things are often so full of surprises that no one could have imagined that JK would become known as the most popular female voice actress in the future...... She has a delicious name that is often remembered when she eats tofu brain, called "coriander".

Hanazawa parsley.

Hanazawa started working as a child actor at a very young age, and although she is still a newcomer as a voice actor, it cannot be said that she lacks acting experience, and she has not played a voice actor role before...... Two years ago, at the age of 14, she played a role in the anime.

So the question is, does she want to go to Kyoto?

Anyway, I've read the script first.

There is a philosopher Mr. Lu once said: When you stare at the abyss, the abyss will also show the smile of Hyogo Kita and stare at you. Hua Zejun received such a script, which can be said to be due to inertia.

And this kind of thing has never been "arranged" by Gong Daizhu, because he feels that Heiyan is not the kind of character that has to be anyone.

Besides, when it comes to Hanazawa Coriander, she must think of the Osawa Office to which she belongs, who would have thought that she would be nesting there at this time?
