Big Manga

Alice said her plan had a slight side effect.

Meng Huo understood what this side effect was on the next day, Saturday.

This day is a holiday, but there are still some employees in the animation department of Sakura Company who have to work overtime for the post-editing of the first episode of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00", and Meng Huo has to supervise and inspect this. A list of new voice actors made by Alice.

Manga Island's office has been busy since yesterday, there are even voice actors auditioning in the middle of the night, and the staff's vacation was ruined by the departure of male voice actors, but their speed is still very fast, just half a day. A new list of voice actors has been drawn up.

"Is this the final list?"

Meng Huo asked Alice while receiving the leaflet.

"Well, that's basically it." Alice replied: "The distribution of some secondary roles was decided in advance, and I tried to adjust the vacancies of the seven people. I think this plan is the best now."

"That's fine."

Meng Huo heaved a sigh of relief. Now the animation production of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" is almost complete, and the animation songs and soundtrack are almost ready, and all will be handed over to Sakura Company before next week.

The biggest problem is the voice actors. If Alice can't make a list during this holiday and rush to record next week, then "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" may be postponed-fortunately, her work efficiency reassures Meng Huo.

After the list was printed out by fax, Meng Huo picked up the list and looked at it.

"The voice actor of Setsuna is Shen Jie?"

The name of the first seiyuu surprised him a bit. Setsu is the number one leading actor in "Mobile Suit Gundam 00". Although Meng Huo expected that Shen Jie would be one of the leading actors, he didn't expect it to be the number one.

"Originally, Wang Lang was to be the voice actor of Setsuna. After he left, other people's voices are not suitable to take over. I believe in Shen Jie's strength, she can perform this role well." Alice explained: "Besides, she is not suitable for this kind of voice. The nonchalant voice has always been good at it.”

The male protagonist of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" Sha Na is cold and cold. He is a very 'cool' character. The voice of a voice actor needs to be gorgeous and elegant, but must also have a sense of indifference. Meng Huo paused——Shen Jie should be able to do it.

He continued to look down the list. Suddenly, he froze.

——Character: Tieria——Voice actor: Meng Huo——

Meng Huo felt dazzled.

He blinked and looked again.

——Character: Tieria——Voice actor: Meng Huo——

"..."

Meng Huo was silent for half a minute, then put down the list: "Alice, have you checked this list? Is there any typo on it?"

he asked on the phone.

But this question was denied by Alice: "No. I will not make such a low-level mistake."

"..." Meng Huo covered his head and took a deep breath: "Does our company have a voice actor with the same name as me? Or do you know another friend named Meng Huo outside? Didn't you say to ask a friend for help?"

"I said so..."

There was a smile in Alice's voice: "But didn't you notice that there are a few people in the list whose names are followed by the word 'foreign'? That's the foreign aid I invited, unfortunately... I know Meng Huo It seems like you are the only one."

Meng Huo looked down at the list, and as expected, he saw several foreign players on the male role list.

"...Tieria's voice actor..."

"Yes, haha, it's you!" Alice couldn't help laughing: "Yesterday, you said that as long as there is no violation of laws and regulations, I can choose anyone in the company. And this little side effect, you can't escape it!"

"Are you cheating on me!?" Meng Huo gritted his teeth and said, "Alice, don't act recklessly. I haven't received professional training, so I'm not worthy at all, okay?"

"Come on, stop pretending." Alice said with a smile: "If you have talent, you should use it. You and Shen Jie have learned ventriloquism, right? I heard that your ventriloquist is not bad, and you can chat with others under a fake identity." I'm so happy, being a voice actress doesn't put any pressure on you at all..."

Meng Huo was dumbfounded: "You, how do you know..."

He didn't tell anyone else about it. How could Alice know it without even showing it a few times?

"Don't worry about how I know. Meng Huo, the list has been drawn up, so don't hide it." Alice gradually put away her smile, and then reminded: "This time the departure of those voice actors has caused us It has a great negative impact. Early this morning, this incident has caused a lot of trouble in Suhua..."

Not only Suhua, but many big cities including Ninghai and Yanjing have reported this incident. In the service hotline of Phoenix Company, people have been calling since the morning to ask if "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" will be released. Postponed.

Meng Huo, who was in the far east, didn't feel any pressure from the newspapers, but he knew that there was a lot of repercussions on the Internet. Today, this matter was the hottest topic on the He Xi Family forum, and it even made many readers feel pessimistic.

"With so many people missing, it seems that an extension is inevitable."

"It's over, the postponement of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" is still a trivial matter, how can we see it without voice actors!"

"There won't be more seiyuu quitting jobs, right? The popularity of Phoenix Company has been surpassed by Zhongxia recently!"

Voices like this can be seen everywhere on the forum, and the impact of the male voice actor’s departure is indeed greater than many people expected, mainly because it mirrors what happened before—since Dong Ding came to power, the Phoenix Company has Many aspects are passive.

Previously, Phoenix Company followed Zhongxia Company to carry out business reforms, and then the two parted ways in TV stations. Zhongxia Company occupied the number one Ninghai TV Station and had an advantage in popularity. And their star voice actors also made the voice actors of other animation companies panic.

Under such circumstances, the resignation of seven well-known male voice actors from Phoenix Company naturally attracted more attention.

"If this goes on, I'm worried that it will cause suspicion and panic in our readers." Alice said to Meng Huo: "The loss caused by this matter will definitely not be as simple as reducing animation ratings, and it may shake us. Reader trust that has been cultivated over the years."

"So we can't be passive in this matter. The best solution is to let you play. If you are willing to dub, let alone seven people, it doesn't matter if ten people leave."

Alice is full of confidence. The most popular symbol of the Phoenix Company is the cartoonist He Xi. There is no doubt that if he is willing to be a voice actor for a while, the media all over the world will be attracted by this matter, and the readers will also be crazy about it.

Meng Huo appeared on the stage to dub "Mobile Suit Gundam 00". This advertisement is better than any advertisement. Even if there are problems with other voice actors, his popularity can fully make up for it.

"You promised it, right? Use it if you want." Seeing that Meng Huo didn't reply, Alice continued to persuade: "You also said before that we can use your image. This incident is so important. Don't take it." If you come out, we will be in trouble."

Meng Huo was silent, then smiled wryly, he was being tricked this time.

However, there is nothing wrong with Alice's calculations. There is no bad effect for him to be a voice actor, and it is not even bad for his own image. Of course Meng Huo could refuse, but if he refused, the promise he had made before would be meaningless.

Compared with resisting this matter, Meng Huo was more unwilling to break his promise. And since Alice knows that he knows ventriloquism, even if she doesn't count him now, she will definitely count him in the future.

"Okay, I agree to this matter." He compromised, but reminded: "But I don't want this kind of thing to happen again in the future."

Meng Huo hates other people's assertions, and Alice understands this: "I know, I will quickly train a new replacement voice actor, and if I still need your help in the future, I will make a decision after obtaining your consent."

She obviously relaxed a lot. Since Meng Huo agreed, the matter was settled like this.

"Then I'll go down and make arrangements. Meng Huo, you can complete the recording at Sakura Company, but I suggest you go back to Manga Island to record as soon as possible." Alice reminded: "Although I heard that your ventriloquist is good, I haven't really seen it yet. ...plus ventriloquism and dubbing can't be said to be all the same, you'd better come back and get some training."

Meng Huo rubbed his brows: "Do you still need training?"

"Well, but based on your talent and ventriloquism, I believe you can master it in a day or two."

Alice has blind confidence in Meng Huo. This confidence comes from years of getting along with her. She really hasn't seen anything that takes him several days to master. Since Meng Huo can learn ventriloquism, it means that he also has talent in this area. Even if he masters the skills of a senior voice actor within a few hours, Alice will not be surprised.

But Meng Huo still had a lump in his heart: "How about changing the role? Tieria is the main role, and the role is too heavy!"

Tieria is one of the main male characters in "Mobile Suit Gundam 00", the teammate of the first male protagonist Setsuna, and has a strong role from beginning to end. Meng Huo felt that since he was only using himself as a propaganda head, There was no need to give him such an important role.

"No!" But Alice cut off immediately: "What we lack is the voice actors of the main characters, the common characters have already been arranged... and Tieria and your voice characteristics are somewhat similar, I think it's good for you It should be the least difficult."

"My voice is similar to his?" Meng Huo was speechless: "Tieria is a ruthless character, how can I be ruthless. He is a bit like Setsuna, why don't you leave it all to Shen Jie?"

"Shen Jie is a girl after all, so it's not good for her to match two male roles." Alice smiled and said, "Don't complain, I originally wanted you to play Setsuna, you are more suitable than Shen Jie. But thinking about your usual I'm busy with work, so I'll give you Tieria instead."

She has already compromised once, and she is not going to compromise this time. (to be continued)
