Chapter 934 Hojo Kyosuke, don’t run!
Chapter 934 Hojo Kyosuke, don’t run!
The PV was quickly finished and the voice actors and hosts returned to the stage.
Nishimiya Glass smiled with her eyebrows curved: "Ah, although I have read the comics several times, this feeling is really only in the animation, right?"
"So cute! It's just as I imagined. When I was dubbing, I thought that Chihiro and Miu would be even cuter in the animation!"
Saki Kihara held the microphone in both hands and did not hesitate to praise.
The other two voice actors also smiled and said all kinds of cute and awesome words.
The host then asked, "Mina-san, what do you think of this PV?!"
Then point the microphone toward the audience below the stage.
“Sai Gao!!”
"Miyu is so cute. It turns out that Miyu is the cutest when she falls to the ground anytime and anywhere!"
"Go stand in the hallway, Sasazuka!"
"As expected, cute girls are the treasure of the world!!"
"..."
The audience shouted out in a very respectful manner. If we were to say which places in Japan let loose their nature most thoroughly, it would be the trains and the sidewalk boxing rings, as well as the stadiums and the otakus' cheering areas. After all, being shy here is an anomaly.
The quality of this PV really exceeded the fans' expectations. After all, veteran otakus know that this type of comics was doomed to never become popular from the beginning. It is far inferior to the orthodox comics. It is already a stroke of luck that it can be animated.
The result! It turned out to be so good!
The host then smiled and asked, "Haha, everyone must be looking forward to the publication of this article now, right?"
"Moji Luo!"
The audience asked the host to stop wasting time.
The secretaries of the production committee standing behind the curtain also showed expressions, and the production executive sent by the animation production company was very excited, thinking that they should be able to get more funds now.
"So what about Ms. Bara? As far as I know, Ms. Bara has been busy with the production team since the establishment of this project. She has provided considerable assistance in script creation, character design, and voice actor selection, which is also an important reason why the PV was successfully produced. Now, facing the fans, what does Ms. Bara want to say?"
The host looked to the right of the stage, then suddenly froze.
Miss Nishimiya...when did you end up next to Mr. Hojo again?
On the right side of the stage, Mr. Bara, who looked like an autistic child, held the microphone tightly in front of him with both hands, his head lowered, his long hair covering most of his face, and he stood on tiptoes like a child. Next to him, Hojo Kyosuke and Nishimiya Glass looked at each other from time to time, and then laughed in sync. The two sides formed a sharp contrast.
Teacher Bala, who was suddenly called, almost jumped up in fright, and then took a step forward with her head held high, just like an elementary school student who was called in physical education class.
He held the microphone with both hands and raised it to his mouth. He opened his mouth again and again, but no words came out.
He bravely looked at the audience and saw many familiar faces. They were the fans who came to cheer him on every time he held a book signing event.
At this moment, the faces of those fans were already covered with tears.
Looking at those excited faces, Mr. Bara, who had been busy cooperating with the animation production company since he knew his work was going to be animated, suddenly calmed down, and tears flowed silently from the corners of his eyes.
"So... great!"
“It’s so nice to be able to animate!”
"Mina! I can finally let you see what kind of life they lead in my dreams!"
“That’s really, really great!!”
Teacher Bara cried loudly, revealing his true feelings. His ordinary face suddenly became a little ugly, but in the eyes of the fans in the audience, he was so handsome that he could almost be compared with Teacher Hojo who was standing behind him.
"Yogada!!"
Following Teacher Bara, the otakus in the audience also started yelling, with tears streaming down their faces.
Unexpectedly but understandably, most of those fanatical fans are men, including some in their thirties and forties who have already started working. They are no less excited than Teacher Bara.
This is understandable, because this comic is so healing, otherwise Sakura would not have called the suicide hotline and lobbied them to include this comic in their mental health assistance materials.
Although there are many news on the Internet that comic book authors would rather not animate their works than have their works ruined, one thing that must be made clear is that no matter whether it is a novel or a comic, when the author is creating, the first thing that comes to mind is definitely not words or black and white comics, but a life full of sound and color. The sun has warmth, the characters move, and when you cry, you blow snot bubbles...
But in the end, authors can only present the life in their minds to readers through words or black and white paintings. Now, with the opportunity to embody the life of the characters, no one would be willing to refuse.
Just like Nishimiya Shoko said at the beginning, this is a feeling that only animation can bring to people!
“Thank you! Thank you for your continued support! Without your continued support, this comic might have disappeared long ago, and there would be no chance for an animation. This is the result of our perseverance together!!”
Teacher Bara bowed vigorously, and without waiting for the fans to react, she turned around and grabbed Hojo Kyosuke's hand, and then said excitedly to the latter's confused expression:
“I also want to thank Mr. Hojo! Without Mr. Hojo’s participation, I and everyone else would never be able to see such a great PV! I also wouldn’t be able to proudly recommend this work to you!”
When Hojo Kyosuke heard this, he quickly shook his head and was about to say something polite, but was interrupted by Teacher Bara.
"I'm not just talking about the PV! You may not know that when this project was first established, the investment it received was only one-third of what it is now, but after Mr. Hojo announced his participation, the production committee immediately increased the investment. This is all thanks to Mr. Hojo!! "
It was the first time for fans to hear this secret and they all opened their mouths in surprise.
Apart from the three people from "Our Voice" agency who already knew some of the inside story, the only outsider on the stage, Akane Yoshikawa, widened her eyes in shock, thinking that Oizumi was such an unlucky guy. It would have been fine if he didn't know the relationship between Miss Nishimiya and Mr. Hojo, but this time he would definitely be terminated.
"At the beginning, I was so scared that I couldn't sleep every night, worrying about what would happen to Miyu and Xiaoqian. Until, until I heard the news that Hojo-sensei would join, I..."
Teacher Bara was so excited that she was spitting all over the place and she stuttered a little while speaking. Her tongue was out of control due to excitement. Finally, she simply let go of Hojo Kyosuke's hand and got off the seat cleanly and neatly.
"Benefactor! You are the benefactor of me and comics!!"
Ah this...
Hojo Kyosuke, who was already smiling bitterly, was completely confused. Why did he kneel down directly? What? I kowtow to you too?
If it were a normal Japanese person, they would definitely come and bow to each other as soon as possible, which would make the show more effective, but... Hojo Kyosuke really doesn't have this habit? The subordinates in the Rampage Angels also liked to kneel down in a row at the beginning. It took him a lot of effort to correct this habit.
If we were to talk about how to correct it, it would probably be to give an extra training package to whoever kneels down. At that time, he saw the remarkable effect, and wanted to correct the bad habit of his subordinates who screamed and yelled, so he carried a decibel monitor with him, and gave an extra training package to whoever exceeded the standard, but this time it didn't work, those idiots screamed even louder, it was really deadly.
There was nothing he could do, so Hojo Kyosuke could only squat down and pull Mr. Bara up by the shoulders, but the guy was still stubborn and didn't want to get up. This was obviously overestimating his own abilities, and he exerted a little force, and the painter shouted "pain, pain, pain" and stood up.
He didn't hesitate, and bent down to help Teacher Bala brush off the dust on her knees. Then he turned around and looked at the audience with a wry smile:
"Ms. Bala is so kind. I didn't even know I had such a big impact."
This must not be publicly acknowledged, even if everyone knows it. It is good to have charisma, but being so prominent will attract jealousy. What if those cartoonists come to invite me to join the production? If I refuse, I will definitely get into trouble.
But he found that his denial was completely ineffective. The fanatical fans in the front row also got up from their seats like Teacher Bara and began to worship him one by one.
These guys...
The corners of his mouth twitched, and Hojo Kyosuke smiled and said into the microphone:
"In fact, it is my honor to be able to join the creative team. I want to thank Teacher Bara for creating such an excellent work!"
He thought about it and felt that Teacher Bara’s head should not be knocked in vain, so he said seriously:
"Neighbors, Neighbors, Neighbors is really a very good work. There are many comics with little girls as the protagonists, but as everyone knows, those works always inevitably involve the innocent and romantic little girl with Sese."
You are so bold, Mr. Hojo!
The audience was so stunned that they even forgot to applaud for a moment.
Hojo Kyosuke didn't even look at him and continued:
"Of course, I'm not saying that Sese is bad. Everyone in this world likes Sese. Sese is the primary productive force! I..."
At this point, loud laughter and applause from the audience interrupted his words.
Hojo Kyosuke smiled and waved his hand, bowed to thank the perverts for their support, and then said:
"My best friend has a master of books. He is a genius and a natural master of Se Se. I believe many of you have seen his works. But out of respect for him, I will not mention his name."
He deliberately used the masculine "he".
"Ooh!"
"Maji?! Is this true?"
The audience started talking, and Hojo Kyosuke continued in the confusion:
"I say this to express that I have no discrimination against Sese, and what I want to say is that children should be children, and children are the future of the country. The girls in the comic "Neighbors, Neighbors, Neighbors" perfectly fit the image of innocent and romantic children in my mind.
Innocent, cute, with all the worries of a fool, unable to see any bad things in society, beautiful as if it were another world.
Watching this episode when you are in a bad mood, whether you are troubled by your boss or failed the college entrance exam, will make you feel better! This is such a great work! It is an honor for me and the entire production team to be able to participate in the production! "
"Thank you, Mr. Bara, and thank you to everyone who has always supported this work! Thank you everyone!"
Hojo Kyosuke bowed deeply.
Teacher Bara is expressing her true feelings, and so is he.
The tragedies in the world are all different, but the forms of happiness are always similar.
The residents of Ruyi Lodge are all bright and beautiful people in the eyes of outsiders, but most of them have suffered various kinds of childhood traumas.
When reading this comic, the wounds that had already been healed by Hojo Kyosuke, even the remaining traces, were eliminated.
Even Yukinoshita Yukino, who doesn't read the manga, bought this manga to support Glass. When she was reading the manga, her expression was surprisingly soft, which was simply shocking.
Kyosuke Hojo and Eriri will be the original artists, and Nozomi will be the voice actor.
When the news was first announced at home, everyone in Ruyila was immediately excited, just like Teacher Bala just now.
After Hojo Kyosuke finished his speech, the comic fans and voice actor fans all applauded. In particular, the original fans all had proud expressions on their faces, as if they were like "I like the same comic as Hojo Sensei, I am also great."
Only a certain little golden retriever clapped his hands while muttering, "Just say it, why are you mentioning me? What if someone finds out, you idiot!!"
While cursing, she also cheered excitedly. She has been sitting at her desk since the second grade and has been staying up late to hone her painting skills. When she saw the carefree little girls in "Neighbors, Neighbors, Neighbors", she was really healed. Just now, she secretly cried while watching the PV on the big screen. This is the charm of anime!
Nishimiya Glass on the stage also had a proud look on her face, but she was proud of her own Kyousuke. He was already a big shot who could make the production committee members increase their investment by three books just by his name, but he was not arrogant at all and was still so kind.
Glass could fully imagine that as long as the video of today's launch conference was circulated, the popularity of this work would skyrocket just based on Kyosuke's words. Even people who have never watched anime would be curious about what kind of work could be so popular with Hojo Sensei.
Kyosuke has always been like this. As long as others treat him with a little sincerity, he will return the favor with ten times the sincerity.
The girl's eyes were full of tenderness, and if she hadn't been on the stage, she would have cried out and rushed over.
But obviously not everyone is as reserved as she is. Teacher Bara over there had already cried so hard that she was unrecognizable. Now she shouted "Teacher Hojo" and rushed over. Hojo Kyosuke was so scared that he quickly stepped back to dodge, so that his precious Glass cheering suit would not be contaminated.
After missing the target, Teacher Bara fell to the ground, then stood up swiftly, crying and shouting, "Thank you, Teacher Hojo, for chasing me." Hojo Kyosuke had no choice but to run away. The two of them chased each other on the stage, making the fans laugh. A few brave ones climbed onto the stage to help block Hojo Kyosuke, but were immediately stopped by several female fans.
