Rebirth of the Father of Anime

"Is there an audition for an anime? I'll take it!"

Shizuka Sakaki received a call saying that she had an animation audition. Shizuka Sakaki was ecstatic and immediately agreed. Fortunately, she joined a seiyuu agency, but she has yet to make her debut. This is her first seiyuu notice, and she is afraid that if she hesitates, she will miss the opportunity.

However, when I arrived at the door of the audition location, I felt a little hesitant.

Why was the audition location chosen at a wine shop?

After hesitating at the door for a long time, she put her hand into the satchel she carried with her. The ultimate anti-wolf electric baton calmed her down. What are you afraid of? Anyway, this is a regular wine shop, very safe. I heard that the other party is from China. I heard that Chinese people like to talk about things at the dinner table. Maybe this is just their working habits.

For this hard-won opportunity, Shizuka Sakaki took a deep breath, puffed out her chest, and walked into this high-end wine shop. After giving the room number she had told him before, the staff took her into the private room.

The surrounding environment was elegant and there were many people coming to eat. Shizuka Sakaki became calmer and calmer.

Tuk-tuk-tuk!

The waitress in kimono knelt down in front of the door, then knocked on the door gently. After hearing someone asking her to come in, the waitress opened the door, folded her hands on her legs, and bowed slightly.

"Sir, your guest is here."

From beginning to end, the waitress kept her head lowered and looked extremely respectful.

This was the first time for Shizuka Sakaki to come to such a high-end wine shop. She was already calm, but she became nervous due to the service attitude.

She tightened the strap of her satchel with one hand and looked into the room. There was only one person inside, who seemed to be about the same age as herself. Maybe a little bigger, but the magnanimity was extraordinary. She only felt the same feeling in those very powerful presidents.

However, she remembered that the other person was just an editor, not the chief editor, just a small editor.

"Yeah. Here you go, sit down."

Seeing the other party nodding, Sakaki Shizuka hid her inner doubts, walked into the room, and knelt down on the cushion restrainedly.

The other party ordered the waitress to serve the meal, and the waitress followed the menu she had ordered. Soon the low table between them was filled. Exquisite food makes people salivate at the sight of it, but Shizuka Sakaki's attention is not on these foods that she usually can't eat at all.

"Sakaki Shizuka, right? I'm He Chen." He Chen simply introduced himself and poured wine for himself and Sakaki Shizuka.

The sweet smell of warmed sake reverberated throughout the room. The intoxicating taste makes people thirsty.

Shizuka Sakaki always keeps her satchel next to her legs, within easy reach.

He Chen raised a glass to her, and Shizuka Sakaki said cautiously: "I'm sorry, I don't know how to drink." Respectful, yet vigilant.

He Chen smiled, drank it in one gulp, and then poured himself another glass.

"I asked you to come here this time because there is an audition. Although I am not from the animation company, I still have certain power and connections..." He Chen looked at Shizuka Sakaki with a white lining unscrupulously. The pink skirt and light cyan jacket possess the vitality of a girl and the maturity after entering society.

Shizuka Sakaki moved her satchel in front of her and asked cautiously: "Excuse me, what animation is it?"

After all, animations are also divided into different parts. Although she has not been able to make her debut so far, she will definitely not join the cast. Although she already had a certain idea in mind. But you still have to ask clearly. She, a girl, struggles alone outside and has to learn to protect herself. If you are not careful, you may be swallowed up by this cruel society.

He Chen took out a cigarette, lit it for himself, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and then exhaled slowly. The smell of cigarettes made Shizuka Sakaki frown slightly, but she immediately relaxed. As a voice actor, her voice is very important, so she doesn't like this taste. However, at this time, she didn't dare to express any dissatisfaction, because the other party might be able to give her a chance to dub. That's why she's here.

Her companions are already working hard towards their dreams, but she has yet to make her debut and is standing still.

Although she always looks fine in front of everyone, only she understands the pressure in her heart.

""Infinite Horror"." He Chen spit out four words.

Even though she already had an idea in her mind, Shizuka Sakaki couldn't hide the look of surprise on her face after confirming the news. Anime, animation and comics have never been separated, and she naturally understands what is the most popular now.

That's why she came to this strange place after hearing this person's name. If it was someone else's invitation, she wouldn't have rashly come to such a place alone.

What is "Infinite Horror"?

The most popular manga at the moment, Shueisha's flagship work. For a newcomer with no qualifications, she could not even dream of being able to dub such a top-notch work as soon as she appeared.

For such a classic, as long as her performance is not too bad, even if she is not popular, at least she can officially embark on the road of seiyuu, instead of standing still like she is now.

She is very passionate at heart!

"I do!"

"It's an audition now. It's not like I'll let you in just because you're willing." He Chen flicked his fingers, and the ash fell into the ashtray.

Shizuka Sakaki's face turned red, and then she hurriedly asked: "Excuse me, how should I audition?"

Auditions are usually held in a recording studio, where the script to be dubbed is used to sing the verses. However, this is a bar, with only a place for eating and drinking, and no place for recording, so Shizuka Sakaki asked.

"Do you like your job as a voice actor?"

He Chen stared at Shizuka Sakaki's eyes, which were very clear and easy for people to understand. This is the persistent and unyielding look of a person who has a dream and has been working towards it.

What kind of pleasure would it be if we destroyed this beauty with our own hands?

He Chen narrowed his eyes.

"I like it! I like it very much!" Shizuka Sakaki replied affirmatively!

Even though she never made her debut, even if she could only make a living by working in a bar, she never gave up her dream of being a voice actress!

"Dreams are great, but with all due respect, you should give up on voice acting. You are too far behind." He Chen crushed the cigarette butt in the ashtray.

Shizuka Sakaki's breath froze, and a happy smile froze on her face. Her face, which was still shy and red before, has gradually become colder.

"You haven't auditioned yet, why do you say that? If you think I'm not good, why did you ask me to come? Did you call me here specifically to humiliate me?" Shizuka Sakaki said coldly.

"I'm just stating the facts." He Chen looked at Shizuka Sakaki quietly, "Your level is too poor. With your strength, you have no qualifications or opportunity to dub "Infinite Horror"."

Shizuka Sakaki's face turned dark and she stared at He Chen. She squeezed her satchel tightly with her delicate hands until her fingers turned white. She was about to get up and leave.

He Chen suddenly changed the subject: "But I personally think more highly of you."

"What do you mean?" Shizuka Sakaki asked He Chen coldly.

"The animation adaptation of "Infinite Horror" was decided by me. This is not a secret, you should already know it." He Chen sandwiched the thin sashimi, dipped it in the prepared condiments, and put it on The final step is to melt in your mouth.

Shizuka Sakaki didn't answer, and looked at He Chen coldly. He Chen continued: "As long as I am satisfied, dubbing, etc., even if it is the protagonist, isn't it all a matter of one word from me?"

Sakaki Shizuka stood up suddenly and said angrily to He Chen: "I didn't expect you to be such a person, it's so bad!"

For Shizuka Sakaki, He Chen's words were simply a trample on her dreams!

The main voice actress of "Infinite Horror" is indeed very attractive, but she will never sell herself out for it.

Shizuka Sakaki walked out of the door, and He Chen sat quietly without saying anything, but his voice did not stop: "Well, have you heard of the scandal that spread about me before? It's me ntr The girlfriend of the author named, well, you should know those two people, they are Kazuya Hiramaru, the author of "Infinite Horror", and the other one is Kurenai Aoki. However, as you can see, I am fine now, and the two of them are I am still responsible for everything, and I draw the comics obediently for me. I am also responsible for all the operations of "Infinite Horror". Even Hiramaru Kazuya himself can't get involved... Do you know what this means? "

"It is true that you are a voice actor, and you may think that even if I am powerful in the comics industry, I can't do anything to you. However, if we tell other animation companies that if they use you, we will never cooperate with them again. One is a newcomer who has never dubbed any anime and has no chance of debuting, and the other is a well-known manga artist, Shueisha, who has countless works... Guess what choices people will make?"

"When you walk out of this door, you are no longer a voice actor."

Shizuka Sakaki's body was trembling, and she squeezed her satchel hard. The short few steps made her feel as if it was the end of the world.

She still didn't look back, she raised her trembling hand and put it on the door.

"Musashino is quite good. It's a small company. A heavyweight work like "Infinite Horror" is of great significance to them. Since I can let them do animation, I can also change it to someone else. Although there is a contract, but for the sake of animation quality , this small amount of liquidated damages is really not worth mentioning. Besides, Shueisha itself does not want Musashino to make animations. If the terms of both parties are not satisfactory, they can immediately transfer the production to others. After all, "Infinite Horror" belongs to It’s a very long story, and what right does a small company have to say when it comes to Shueisha?”

Two of Shizuka Sakaki's friends live in Musashino. When they learned that Musashino would produce "Infinite Horror", their excited smiles echoed in her mind.

Shizuka Sakaki bit her lip tightly. The movable sliding door in front of her seemed to weigh as much as a thousand pounds. (To be continued)
