Tokyo Girlfriend Guide

Chapter 933 Autistic Authors Gathering

The host, who had already received the hint, seemed to have completely forgotten the voice actor Oizumi Kaori. After Yoshikawa Akane appeared, he directly called out the name of the manga author Bara-sensei without causing any stage accidents.

Even the audience forgot about this person because of the commotion caused by Hojo Kyosuke's appearance. Just like what Glass said, people get used to loving or being loved, but they don't get used to being surrounded by malice. If one day the person who bullied you disappears and you still feel uncomfortable, then you are probably really sick.

"Yeah, this is the first time I've seen two comics teachers at the same time at the launch conference. How lucky."

The host spoke with a smile, and did not steer the topic towards more popular voice actors like other animation launch conferences, because it was clear at the moment that Hojo Kyosuke was the most popular.

Both cartoonists chuckled quietly in response.

The author of "Neighbors Neighbors Neighbors" is Mr. Bara, who is in his thirties, with classic Japanese-style messy hair and black-framed glasses. He stands on the stage with the microphone tightly held in both hands hanging in front of him, his head slightly lowered, and looks so autistic that he wants to crawl under the stage. He is completely incomparable to the dazzling Hojo Kyosuke and several voice actors next to him. This is also the norm for ordinary cartoonists.

This comic is serialized in a monthly comic magazine called "Dengeki Daioh". In terms of its status in the comics industry, it cannot be compared with "Weekly Shonen High" to which Hojo Kyosuke belongs, but correspondingly, the happiness that a monthly magazine can bring to the serializing author is too high (laughs).

Behind the curtain at the stage entrance, a middle-aged man was nervously looking at the people on the stage. When he saw that Teacher Bara could still respond to the host's questions normally, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He was the editor-in-chief of Teacher Bara and knew what kind of person she was. Now he was able to stand on the stage and face more than a thousand pairs of eyes without shaking legs, which was an extraordinary performance.

Great! With the help of Hojo-sensei's popularity, the animation became a big hit, and the comics sold well!

Among the many animation production committees, the publishers of major comic magazines are the most active. They do not compete for too many animation rights, but only expect the animation to boost the sales of comics. That is why Hojo Kyosuke's editor Shimomura Tetsuya was so active in introducing animation production talents to him, hoping that this ancestor can quickly start the Attack on Titan project and make the animation popular so that they can sell comics!

The host didn't catch a sheep, and turned the topic to Kihara Saki and Kitani Ayano, asking them about their feelings about this animation, or asking the 60-year-old grandmother Kitani to show how she dubbed the deceased princess Miu. It can only be said that voice actors are all monsters. Seeing such an old face shouting out the voice of a lively little girl, the audience immediately burst into exclamations.

Saki Kihara also called Nozomi sister as set in the comics, and had many dialogues from the comics. Akane Yoshikawa, who voiced the poor little Jasmine, also joined in, and everyone had scripts for their lines.

When fans heard the characters in their favorite comics speak, they applauded.

Nishimiya Glass was not in the right state at the beginning, and her speech became awkward as soon as she spoke, but she did not panic. She perked up in the next sentence and played the role of a 20-year-old short-sleeved college student who smoked and drank every day to the fullest.

The audiences in the audience opened their mouths in surprise, listening to the somewhat sad words coming out of the mouth of that pure and lovely girl. This feeling of disconnection is impossible to understand unless you see the voice actors' performances with your own eyes.

"Ohhhh!! Great!"

"Pah, pah, pah, pah—"

Cheers and applause rang out together, and Nishimiya Glass finally breathed a sigh of relief. She held the script and bowed slightly to the audience, revealing a peaceful smile, which once again formed a sharp contrast with the depressed female college student she had just played.

The host also asked the audience whether they were satisfied with the choice of voice actors for this animation. Of course, it’s useless whether you are satisfied or not because the contract has already been signed.

But this time it was okay. Whether it was Sister Nobue or the deceased princess, sister Xiaoqian, and Jasmine, they all received unanimous praise from the audience and there was endless cheers.

In fact, this meeting is full of surprises. No one expected that this niche comic could find such good voice actors and organize such a grand launch conference. All of this makes comic fans feel incredible.

But at this time everyone also discovered that Miss Xuegudong, one of the main characters, did not appear. When the host heard the audience's doubts, he immediately changed the subject.

"We have some questions for Miss Nishimiya," the host called out.

Glass, who was secretly observing Kyosuke, was startled, quickly came to her senses, and nervously said "Hi~". Her cute appearance made the audience in the audience laugh kindly again.

"This should be Ms. Nishimiya's debut work, right? Are you nervous about playing the main role for the first time?"

This is a classic question. Even if the physical education teacher comes, he will say it is an easy point question.

Nishimiya Glass naturally responded very appropriately.

"…I am very grateful to Mr. Bara and the production team for giving me the opportunity, but this is not my first role. To be honest, my first dubbing was probably in a voice actor interest class. The teacher gave me a role at that time. Although the lines were only three words, that was my debut work."

The host immediately pretended to be very interested and asked what the work was. Glass smiled shyly, and then a clip of "Dragon Sword Fighter" began to play on the big screen behind her.

In a classic small village in another world, a villager whose gender is indistinguishable only from his back points to the end of the road in the sunset and suddenly shouts, "Who is that?"

Then the screen went completely black.

The host shouted exaggeratedly: "Hey hey hey hey hey?? That's it? That's it? Are there really only a few words?"

The audience also laughed out loud.

Glass smiled calmly, then raised her index finger in front of her and said playfully:

"Yes, but, Mina-san, this role is very important, because after I say this, the protagonist will appear! This is a key NPC!"

"Hahaha~~"

Yoshikawa Akane laughed foolishly, and the scene in the passage just now emerged in her mind.

A hero appears? Miss Nishimiya, you are the hero, right?

Kihara Saki next to him smiled and said:

"Xiao Jiang is such a person, very gentle and pays attention to details. Everyone in the office likes her."

Senior Kitani Ayano also laughed and said:

"But this time in Neighbors, Neighbors, Neighbors, Nitro-chan can no longer be an NPC. The naughty sisters all need your care."

"Hey? But Shinhui even had to borrow money from Chi-chan to buy cigarettes. I think Saki-nee is more like a sister, right?"

Glass said in surprise.

Kihara Saki immediately put her hands on her hips and said in the voice of Chi in the anime: "Really, sis, please quit smoking quickly. Voice actors can't smoke!"

After hearing this, Glass looked shocked: "Hey, hey, hey... Is this my most beloved sister? How dare she treat her sister so cruelly."

Kitani Ayano immediately squeezed in with the voice of a dead princess: "What about me? Isn't Nobue-sister's favorite me? I can give you money to buy cigarettes!"

Glass unceremoniously stretched out his hand and said, "Where's the money? Give it to me."

Mu Gu Xukong put his hands in his pockets, spread them out, and said calmly, "No."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha--"

The fans of the comics were almost going crazy, and they all imagined Miu's silly look in their heads.

This little girl likes Sister Shin Hui the most. She gets extremely jealous when she sees Sister Shin Hui being nice to other kids, but as soon as Sister Shin Hui treats her a little bit better, she starts to act up again.

Things were going on in full swing over there, and Hojo Kyosuke was watching with a smile on his face. Suddenly, he felt someone touching his toes. He tilted his head slightly, moved his eyes downward, and then saw that teacher Bara was quietly kicking his feet with her leather shoes.

"?"

Are you OK?

Seeing Hojo Kyosuke's reaction, Teacher Bara immediately retracted her feet like an elementary school student making mischief in class, then raised her face and gave a "friendly" expression, and then... and then nothing happened, and she continued to lower her head and be autistic.

When the voice actors came on stage just now, they adjusted their positions appropriately. Hojo Kyosuke, who was originally standing next to Naoko, was squeezed to the right by Yoshikawa Akane and stood where Oizumi Kaori was originally, next to Bara-sensei. This is to facilitate the interaction between the voice actors.

Someone looked down at the small gray mark on the edge of his shoe, then turned back to look at Teacher Bara who seemed as if nothing had happened, and was speechless for a moment.

Hojo Kyosuke: Hey, Super Brain, what are you doing?

Super Brain: Just ask Super Power about this matter.

Then Hojo Kyosuke understood that since even a super brain couldn't explain a behavior, there was no need to think about it at all and he could just treat it as crazy.

Finally, the interaction was over, and Kihara Saki, who had the most stage experience and the most beautiful appearance, raised her hand and shouted to the audience with a smile on her face:

“And then there’s the big announcement.”

Yoshikawa Akane said: "Oh, I'm really looking forward to it!"

The audience also quieted down; being familiar with the process, they already knew what was going on.

Kihara Saki continued, "The animation PV was just completed! It's released at the fastest speed in the world!"

Nishimiya Glass tilted her head and smiled, "It really has just been completed. Even I just saw it for the first time today. It's awesome!"

Without receiving any instructions, the autistic author, Mr. Bara, took the microphone and shouted:

"It's really great! I can proudly recommend this work to any fans!!"

The shouting was quite loud, but he finished it in one breath and didn't even dare to look at the audience's reaction and just shrank back.

The audience and fans were stunned by Teacher Bara's sudden remarks, and then burst into warm cheers.

Excluding some authors who have absolutely no moral integrity, comic book authors and animation producers are actually not on the same side. Comic book authors make money from comics, so they can be said to be on the side of the original fans. If the animation is not well made, they will simply quit, let alone promote it. It would be considered autistic if they don't come out and criticize people directly.

Now that Mr. Bara had given the guarantee, both the fans of the original comics and the voice actor fans were filled with anticipation and they all applauded enthusiastically.

Seeing this, Hojo Kyosuke also stepped forward, raised the microphone and said with a hearty smile: "In order to make the PV meet you all as scheduled today, I have also worked overtime, please enjoy it!"

Now there is no reason not to look forward to it.

At the back of the audience, Eriri clapped her hands vigorously and turned to Kato Megumi and Yukinoshita on her left and right and said:

"And me! I've been working overtime too! It would have been impossible to complete it without me!"

Hui immediately called out "Siguoyi" twice, and others also praised him, making Eriri so happy that her big teeth were exposed. Even Kasumigaoka didn't refute her habitually, not because she was also a fan of this comic, but when it comes to working hard, Eriri is really not afraid of anyone. This guy is a ruthless person who has been drawing so hard that he is highly myopic and has a glass face.

The voice actors on the stage all reached out to the big screen behind them, and then quickly retreated to both sides of the stage. However, Nishimiya Shoko, who was supposed to go to the left side of the stage with the two seniors, didn't even look at them and followed Hojo Kyosuke to the right. Only Yoshikawa Akane, who was supposed to form a trio with the two comic teachers, was left at a loss. When the PV on the screen started playing, she ran to Kihara Saki with her head in her hands.

Then the audience burst into laughter again.

The PV started playing, and it's not a lie to say that it's well-made, after all, there are two new forces joining in, Hojo Kyousuke and Eriri. One of them is really good, and people in the industry call her a comic printer; the other one is working hard, and as long as she can't kill the character, she will draw it to death. If she doesn't use violence, there's no way to get her off the workbench.

It is not that such a large animation production team cannot spare the manpower to make a PV, after all, there are more than a dozen key animators. It is not that they can spare the manpower to make a PV, after all, although there are more than a dozen key animators, there are also so many feature films in progress. If the key animators at the back are used to make the PV, then the PV will be done, but it will be a headache for what to do with the first episode of the main story at the premiere. You can't just use the PV, right?

The pressure in the animation production industry is high here. The production process is very complicated. If there is a mistake in one place, everyone will have to work overtime. If you ask why not start production earlier since the deadline is so tight... what about the funds? Isn't it free? The funds required for a longer construction period will be terrifying, so it is better to let the production staff suffer.

The audience watching the PV below were more and more surprised.

"Hi! Siguoyi! What Mr. Bala said is true! This PV is so amazing!"

"Is this quality really what we deserve?"

"It's amazing. The dubbing and music are both great! Is that a song sung by the voice actors?"

"I can see that a lot of Nobue-sister's parts were drawn by Hojo-sensei!"

"..."

The fans were talking about it, and they were all excited, thinking they had just seen a miracle. (End of this chapter)
