Voice Acting for a Masterpiece

Shuya was taken aback.

"Really? Then it might not be confirmed yet."

After he said that, Hyakka was no longer sure.

Haruno said with a knowing smile, "The broadcast by Hyakka -chan and Shu-chan must be very interesting, since you two are such good friends."

Hyakka retorted, "Haruno, why do I feel like you're implying something? What are you plotting now, you scheming little devil?"

"Ugh, I'm not scheming at all."

Haruno waved his hand and blinked, feigning innocence.

If you don't know her personality, her appearance alone can be very deceptive.

"Stop pretending, we've known each other for ages."

Hyakka tiptoed and patted her shoulder.

"Hyakka Jiang is still so straightforward, so cute."

Haruno praised her, thus changing the subject.

"Well, whatever. I don't care anyway."

Hyakka noticed, but didn't care.

Shuya knew what Haruno was thinking; she clearly wanted Shuya to date Hyakka to lighten her burden.

But with Mai's and Yukino's routes already unfolding, adding another Hyakka route seems a bit too complicated... Well, actually, Shuya is just lazy.

Let nature take its course.

After the three chatted for a while...

"Shu-chan? You guys are here so early?"

Uncle Tanaka suddenly appeared.

Shuya glanced at him. "I was wondering if it was because you guys were too late?"

As Shuya saw him, he thought of his alluring figure after being gender-swapped.

To be honest, I feel a little nauseous.

Uncle Tanaka, of course, had no idea what he was thinking. He chuckled and said, "Maybe? After all, it's my own company, not a rented recording studio. I'm much more relaxed in every way."

He said, "Yes, we'll go in and prepare now. The other scholars and officials will be here soon... Oh, your parents are here."

"That's true."

Shuya saw Hanazawa Sakura slowly walking towards him, holding Inoue Hikoo's arm.

At the same time, a group of people arrived.

It was Gojo, his sister, and two girls.

One of the two girls looked familiar; I felt like I'd seen her on many film sets before... She was probably one of the low-level voice actresses who had been playing minor roles for years.

"Yo, Gojo and the No.1 Produce team, good morning."

Shuya stepped forward to greet him.

Good morning, Shuya. And good morning, Sonou. Yukinoshita and Ms. Yukinoshita.

Gojo greeted them politely, and the two girls who were with him quickly followed suit.

His sister was a beat slower, but she greeted him too.

Shuya and said, "Yeah, everyone. Let's do our best together today."

"OK!"

"A familiar woman, "Katakura Kyo answered spiritedly.

Another petite girl, Kugayama Yae, blushed immediately and was speechless for a long time.

Gojo's younger sister, Chitose, was quite carefree. "Yeah! Let's do our best together, Shu-chan!"

Gojo smacked his sister on the head in an annoyed tone:

"Call me 'senior.' Show some respect; he's a senior."

"Ugh... Gojo, you violent maniac, you sister-abusing monster! I, I know! Inoue -senpai, I'm sorry."

Chitose, with tears welling up in her eyes and covering her head, was quite adorable.

"Haha, no need to be so polite, just call me Shu-chan, that's what everyone calls me."

Shuya flashed a friendly, business-like smile.

"See, Gojo!"

Chitose Chong Gojo winked and made faces.

"You bastard..."

Gojo's brows furrowed into a grid pattern.

Shuya chuckled, "Haha, that's really interesting. This personality might be unexpectedly popular."

"Huh? Really? So I'm guaranteed to win?"

Karasuma Chitose was overjoyed.

Shuya honestly replied, "Well, you're quite cute, so that personality is definitely a plus. You should have quite a few admirers, right? There are a lot of masochists among otaku."

Chitose laughed like a fool, "Gojo, Gojo! Did you hear that!"

Gojo sighed, "Shuya, stop talking. This child is still far from good enough."

"All right."

Seeing this, Shuya didn't say anything. He turned his head and saw that Haruno and Hyakka were no longer by his side. They were chatting and laughing around Hanazawa Sakura.

It seems that Haruno and Hyakka have absolutely no interest in Gojo and his group.

Shuya separated from Gojo and the others and joined the conversation.

Chitose looked at Hanazawa Sakura and Inoue Hikoo over there and said enviously, "That's great, their families own an agency and an animation company, they never have to worry about work."

Gojo sighed, "Don't say that. They became famous because of their talent."

"Yeah, Chi-chan! I... Shu-chan's acting is really good!"

Yae suddenly got excited; it seems she's a fan of Shuya.

"I know... By the way, you're just pretending to be innocent, aren't you?"

"I didn't!"

They started making a racket, but the lively atmosphere was quickly extinguished by the cold air.

"Good morning."

The purple-haired beauty brushed past them, her indifferent gaze and ruthless tone silencing both of them.

Shibasaki Kazuha arrives.

Shuya felt a gaze on him and casually turned around, only to see her staring at him.

"Hello?"

Hello, Inoue- kun.

Shibasaki nodded to him and said, "I heard that Inoue- kun recommended me to Director Inoue? Thank you."

I feel that this type of subject matter does have its limits. The first few books are okay, but after that, you can guess the formula and lose patience to continue reading.

Many people have probably read "The Father of Rebirth Anime," right? It's considered a classic in this genre. Just look at the later parts, and you'll see that this type of book follows the same formula.

Books of this genre are readable at first, but later you can only get into the early stages of the protagonist's struggles. Once the protagonist gets on track, it's just a vicious cycle of releasing a new work, padding the original plot, boosting sales and showing off, releasing a new work, padding the plot, and showing off again.

I'm not saying this to attack anyone, just to offer some analysis. I don't think writing purely about animation would attract many readers.

Ultimately, I still think it's a limitation of the subject matter. Anyway, I haven't been able to finish reading a plagiarized novel in a long time.

I just felt a bit sentimental and wanted to share my thoughts. Don't take it too seriously; it's just my personal opinion...

Dubbing of Masterpiece 497, Chapter 462

"No need to thank me, I just mentioned it. Besides, even if I didn't recommend you, he would have invited you to audition given your reputation."

Shuya said, "Besides, the voice actors for this anime are largely chosen based on their looks."

"..."

Shibasaki was silent for a moment, then said, "I see. I understand."

She then stopped talking to Shuya.

After greeting Hanazawa Sakura and the others, she walked to the side and stayed there, accompanied by her manager.

This is the first time Inoue Hikoo's reputation isn't great, he's still very famous, and Inoue Hikoo is a big production, so his manager would naturally be there for this first voice acting role.

"Hmph, she's interested in you."

Haruno grinned strangely.

"Wow, Shu-chan, when did you start flirting with him?"

"No, maybe she's just lusting after my body?"

Shuya asked, puzzled, as he didn't recall ever speaking to that girl.

"Wow, Shu-chan, that's so narcissistic of you... Okay, well, it's not impossible."

Hyakka stuck out her tongue, having to admit there was some truth to that.

Hanazawa Sakura was intrigued. "Oh my, could she be a potential girlfriend for Shu-chan?"

Haruno smiled and said:

"Maybe, Shu-chan could win her over if she went after her."

Hyakka glanced at her sideways without saying a word, still pretending to be innocent.

Haruno didn't want to be bothered by Hanazawa Sakura, so he always pretended that he and Shuya were not related in front of her.

Hanazawa Sakura only knew that Haruno and Shuya had a flirtatious relationship, but she didn't know that the two had done everything together. She thought they just had mutual feelings for each other.

At this Maeda Saori leaned over and said, "I've looked at Ms. Shibasaki's profile. I remember she and Shu-chan co-starred in a drama together."

"Really? I hadn't been paying much attention."

There are so many voice actors that he has Shuya -starred with; how could he possibly remember them all?

This has nothing to do with memory; it's simply that it wasn't taken seriously from the start.

Shuya didn't take the opportunity to chat with them, since Hanazawa Sakura and Inoue Hikoo were both there, and it wouldn't be appropriate.

After Shibasaki Kazuha arrived, several other female voice actresses followed, all of whom were popular and beautiful.

At first glance, all the voice actors present were very good-looking.

After chatting for a while, Inoue Hikoo and the others were ready, Shuya and the others were finally able to enter the recording studio.

The crowd filed in.

The seating arrangement was simple: the male lead, Shuya, sat in the middle, and although Hanazawa Sakura wasn't the female lead, no one dared to take her seat; she and Shuya sat together in the center.

The voice actresses, Haruno, sat on either side of Shuya and Hanazawa Sakura, while Chitose and the other two sat expertly by the door, ready to help open it at any time.

After everyone was seated, Inoue Hikoo's voice came from the control room. "Is everyone ready? Let's do a sound check first."

The screen in the recording studio lit up, and footage from the first episode of IS appeared.

"Oh?"

"Wow."
