Chapter 210 Telephone
When the two works of 5 Centimeters Per Second and Voice of the Stars encountered difficulties, the popularity of Chu Yu's other two works Natsume's Book of Friends and Initial D also increased sharply.
Needless to say, Natsume's Book of Friends has just been released, and the sales in the first week were around 500,000 copies. Many people who haven't seen this work before have bought the single-edition book.
So I went straight to buy the Shuiyuan journal to follow this comic, so I was affected by this.
The popularity ranking of Natsume's book of friends on the water edge finally surpassed Lin Xi's Dragon Soul this week and jumped to the third place.
As for the initial D, because the work is warm-blooded, the subject matter is novel, and the tone of the work is in line with the male-dominated comics market in Longguo, under the enthusiastic recommendation of fans everywhere and the reputation of the work itself, its popularity is a kind of rapid. The situation is rising. Although the popularity ranking is still second, the gap between Tang Xin's dream world and the first place is already very small. Basically, it is only about 100,000 fans who vote for popularity.
Of course, there is another reason why the initial D score is so good, that is, in these few episodes, the plot has reached a climax again.
The match between Fujiwara Takumi and Nakari Yi finally came to an end amid the anticipation of millions of comic fans across the Dragon Kingdom.
In this episode, Tuohai Tuohai changed his views on racing cars, Takahashi Keisuke's handsome and calm character, and his analysis of the weaknesses of Nakari Yi and his GTR32 were fulfilled one by one
All in all, this episode has completely reassured the fans of Initial D that this work is not the kind of work that goes high and low.
Especially in the eighteenth chapter, the decisive battle between AE86 and GTR32 in five consecutive hairpin bends.
In order to prevent Takukai from overtaking from the outside, Zhongli Yi deliberately drove the car to the center line, trying to block the position of 86, but Fujiwara Takukai seized the opportunity at that moment, the left wheel of the car drove on the side of the drain, and the right wheel was on the On the other side of the drain, forcibly squeezed in from the inside of the corner, and after exiting the corner, he was neck and neck with 32.
When Zhongliyi wanted to rely on the vehicle's performance to exceed 86 in a straight line to win, his front tire slipped and hit the guardrail due to insufficient steering force.
At that moment, everyone knew that this game, 86 won.
But when the fans thought the game was over and they were satisfied that the curtain was drawn for this wonderful win.
A high-energy scene appeared
Takahashi Ryosuke's FC, who had been following behind 86 and wanted to watch Fujiwara Takumi's driving skills in the race, collided with the GTR32, which had lost control over the guardrail, in front of this car.
Will it collide?
two cars?
Seeing this, comic book fans held their breath.
But Keisuke Takahashi was not in a hurry.
When the two cars were about to collide, the FC with a speed of 100 miles, the front of the car swayed and the rear of the car turned with a pendulum. On the narrow two-lane Qiu Mingshan Mountain Road, it perfectly avoided the GTR32, and the speed did not decrease at all, chasing after. 86 has already left
So handsome.
At that moment, the male fans were excited by this magical driving skill, and the female fans went directly into the pit Keisuke Takahashi.
After this remark, among the fans of Initial D, Takahashi Ryosuke's popularity soared, even compared to Fujiwara Takumi.
Takahashi Ryosuke, my husband, hope that Fujiwara Takumi's remarks that he lost to Takahashi Ryosuke will appear in the major Initial D fan groups.
More coincidentally, many Natsume female fans who didn't particularly like to read the initial D, after this remark, were handsomely praised by Takahashi Ryosuke, and finally completely let go of their obsessions, not only becoming Natsume fans, but also Natsume fans. Become a fan of Takahashi Ryosuke.
Under such circumstances, the seiyuu issues of the two works, 5 Centimeters Per Second and Voice of the Stars, naturally did not attract much attention.
Many fans have an attitude, Li Nan and Xiao Ling quit, and they can find another one.
But who are Chu Yu and Huang Ming thinking about?
It is true that Jiuxing is a giant company in the animation industry, but Dakai is not bad either.
The grievances between Huang Ming, the producer of these two companies, Lu Mu, the deputy producer, and Shui Xin, a well-known cartoonist in Magic Capital, were widely spread in the industry after Li Nan and Xiao Ling were poached by Dakai.
Although Lu Mu has the advantage in this matter, this advantage is just that Huang Ming is not prepared to use his power in Jiuxing to make profits for the animation he invested in. Otherwise, Lu Mu has a high probability of not winning Huang Ming. This industry veteran.
But on the other hand, if any seiyuu participates in the dubbing work of 5 Centimeters Per Second and the Voice of the Stars at this time, will they offend Lu Mu?
After all, in order to disgust Shuixin, the guy used the dubbing opportunities of two important animation characters to poach Li Nan and Xiao Ling.
Whoever helps Shui Xin at this time will definitely be hated by him!
A big cartoonist like Shui Xin is naturally not afraid of Lu Mu, but their lesser-known voice actors are still afraid.
This Lu Mu is notoriously stingy, who knows if he will be remembered by him in the future, and then cooperate with him to wear small shoes?
Moreover, the two works of Shuixin are said to have low investment, so there is a high probability that they will not be popular. The seiyuu treatment is also very general, which is the average level in the industry. In this case, there is no need to take such a risk to participate in the grievances of these three people. !
Therefore, several powerful voice actors that Huang Ming contacted in the past few days, in order not to offend anyone on both sides, naturally politely declined.
So today's Huang Ming is very irritable. Even if he sees Chu Yu, he is not as lively as before.
"What's the matter, Brother Huang, are you still bothering about the seiyuu?" Chu Yu thought for a while, but went to ask him.
"That's right." Huang Ming sighed.
"I feel like this is a bit difficult to handle!"
"Many voice actors are afraid of the influence of Lumu and Dakai in the industry, and are unwilling to cooperate with our animation studio. I want them to let go of this concern unless we have the same influence."
"What do you mean?" Chu Yu frowned.
"The time schedule can't be delayed. If you still can't find it in two days, I will go to Jiuxing to discuss with my bosses. If they agree, I will use the name of Jiuxing and let some seiyuu who work closely with us. The firm forcibly assigned its powerful seiyuu to dub the second five and the voice of the stars."
"No." Chu Yu said directly.
Chu Yu knew that if Huang Ming was willing to use his power in Jiuxing, it would definitely not be a problem.
But Huang Ming himself is an employee of Jiuxing, so it's fine if he comes out to do private work. It's because the leader has a good relationship with him and doesn't want to interfere so much with him. Anyway, your company's work is done well, and you can do whatever you want in private!
But using the company's power to facilitate his own private life, if he does, Huang Ming will have a huge leverage in Jiuxing in the future, and maybe some of the company's enemies will use this to attack him in the future.
This is why Huang Minghui feels aggrieved. In normal times, how could he look at Lu Mu, the deputy producer of Dakai Animation Company, even Liu Yu, the real producer of Frozen Witch, when he sees him in private Not to shout bro!
"Let's look for more!" Chu Yu said.
"But time doesn't allow it! I really have to look carefully. I don't believe that I can't find anyone because of Huang Ming's face, but the time will drag on for a long time." Huang Ming shook his head.
Hearing that, Chu Yu was also silent.
Mainly, Chu Yu still felt that the conflict between himself and Lu Mu caused such a result.
Chu Yu felt very happy about the mutual confrontation with Lu Mu, and did not regret it at all, but this work also has Huang Ming's share. His behavior is considered to increase the difficulty for Huang Ming, so he does have a lot of love for Huang Ming. Guilt.
But in the seiyuu world, he really can't help Huang Ming. He knows only one seiyuu in the entire Long Kingdom. Gu Yan!
That's right, advisor!
Thinking of her, Chu Yu raised his head and looked at Huang Ming.
"Brother Huang, what do you think of the seiyuu advisor of Maiko Honma, who dubs the unheard flower name?" Chu Yu said.
"Gu Yan?" Huang Ming thought for a while.
"Her words did not perform well at the beginning, but at the end, they grew up very quickly. You can see from the huge popularity of the character Meizi. At least, her voice acting did not hold back the character!"
"And during the dubbing, I also noticed that her emotions are very full and rich, and she can dub a lot of characters with different personalities. When dubbing Meiko, when she sometimes changed her voice style at our request, we all felt that it was a different person. Although the voice is the same, the mood and the rhythm of speech are completely different.”
"To be honest, the departure of Li Nan and Xiao Ling will affect the dubbing work of Cheng Tian, who is five centimeters per second, Mingli, and Mikako in Voice of the Stars."
"If you look at her previous performance, it seems that the dubbing work of these three people, maybe she can do it alone."
"Is she so powerful?" Chu Yu's expression became strange as he listened.
"In that case, why didn't you look for her when you were looking for a seiyuu?"
"After all, she's a newcomer!" Huang Ming looked at Chu Yu and said.
"The performance of one of her works does not mean that other works will also perform well. Although I thought she had potential before, the production time left for me did not allow me to try and make mistakes. I can only find a 100% work that meets the bottom line of the work. The person who requested, although she thinks she might be able to do it, the words "possible" and "feel" are not allowed to appear in animation production!"
"You have invested millions of your entire net worth in this work, and I naturally have to take it seriously!"
"Now, the situation is like this, and I have nothing to fault."
"But the question is whether she is willing or not!" Huang Ming said with a wry smile.
"After all, for our project, many seiyuu in Magic City are now afraid of offending Lu Mu and Da Kai after coming here!"
"That's right!" Chu Yu nodded.
After all, it is normal for seiyuu to be unwilling to participate in such grievances for their own development.
"Then let me call and ask!" Chu Yu looked at Huang Ming and said.
"If she wants to come, we can arrange an interview or a test or something! Let's see how well she fits these three roles!"
Huang Ming heard the words and nodded after thinking for a while.
"But I think Xuan, brother Chu, even those senior seiyuu are afraid. As a rookie seiyuu, she must think more about her future!" Huang Ming said.
"It's okay, just ask!" Chu Yu gave a rare smile.
Soon, the call was connected.
"Hey, Chu Yu, why do you have time to call me? Today is not the weekend, do you want to practice driving today?" Gu Yan's voice was pleasant, and he seemed to be in a good mood today.
"My two animations, Five Centimeters Per Second and Voice of the Stars, lack female voice actors. Would you like to try them?" Chu Yu hesitated and said.
"I'll say it first, if you come, you may offend someone called for no reason."
"A man named Lu Mu, isn't it! Dakai's big animation in January next year, the assistant producer and screenwriter of Frozen Witch, and also the screenwriter of the second month of the moon, the biggest enemy of the unheard of Huaming." Gu Yan interrupted Chu Yu.
"I have already browsed the Internet to understand your affairs and grievances!"
"It's just, I didn't expect you to call me to fill in the vacancies of these two works!" On the phone, Gu Yan's voice was calm.
"Uh, you already know these things!" Chu Yu took a deep breath.
"Then the matter is simple, and I won't explain much! If you don't want to come, I can understand."
"I do!" On the other end of the phone, Gu Yan chuckled before Chu Yu finished speaking.
