Chapter 1136: Transfer to Phoenix

In the recording studio, a voice actor is dubbing.

"Is it a good match? Who is she?" Meng Huo stood in the control room and listened for a long time. He felt that the match was very good, so he asked Bai Yan.

"Yuki Tosaka, a newcomer who just joined this year."

Bai Yan replied: "She is the voice actor I selected. When preparing for "Unknown Flower Name", her audition made me fall in love at first sight."

She used the idiom "love at first sight" to describe her appreciation for Yuki Tosaka, and Meng Huo also felt that this new voice actor was a rare talent.

"Teacher He Xi... I'm sorry, I'm too busy with work, I'm late!"

While Meng Huo was watching the dubbing, a man suddenly walked into the control room. Meng Huo looked back and thought that he should be the supervisor of the voice actor firm.

"Mr. Fukuyama? Why are you?" Meng Huo was surprised after seeing the man's appearance clearly: "Did you work in our company?"

Fushan, this is a person who had contact with Meng Huo many years ago.

"After the invitation of Ms. Xu, I joined Phoenix Company last year." Fukuyama laughed at Meng Huo. What he said should be before Meng Huo traveled last year. The manpower arrangements in these areas have always been in the hands of Alice, and Meng Huo is not completely aware of it.

"Last year... I really didn't expect you to be the supervisor here." Meng Huo said happily.

Fukuyama and Alice seemed to be friends who met very early. This arrangement was surprising but reasonable. Fukuyama once prepared a stage for Meng Huo to perform in Tokyo because of Alice's words, so Meng Huo has always had a good impression of him.

"Teacher, are you watching Miss Tosaka's dubbing?" Fukuyama asked, looking at the recording studio on the big screen.

"Well, I heard she is a newcomer, but I don't feel very much like it." Meng Huo laughed: "Her dubbing sounds very professional."

"Miss Tosaka is indeed a newcomer," Fukuyama replied: "But she is a graduate of Tokyo University of Music and studied dubbing in college."

"No wonder...will graduates from the University of Music come to be voice actors now?"

"Phoenix's recruitment at Tokyo music and film universities is very popular, and many graduates have set their sights here in the past two years."

Fukuyama smiled and said: "The competition among artists in the music industry and entertainment industry is fierce now. When voice actors are seen by many people as a path that is easier to become famous."

"It's true..." Bai Yan on the other hand felt deeply the same. She was impressed by the rapid rise of voice actors. So far, the gap for Chinese voice actors is still very large. If you can't keep up with the development pace of the animation industry, it is easy for a capable artist to break a path in this industry.

"So that's it, but this is a good thing. Only the continuous joining of new people will keep our company alive for a long time." Meng Huo said laughing.

In fact, he has always been worried that the development of voice actors will take detours, and the development of male voice actors at Phoenix Company is very smooth. After experiencing the defection incident, no problems occurred later.

However, in the voice actor industry, women account for a larger proportion. Women's voices are destined to be more suitable for animation voice actors. Many male characters in animations can be dubbed by female voice actors, but few female characters are dubbed by male voice actors.

Phoenix Company has a problem with female voice actors. The three singers in the past have gradually undergone structural changes, and only Xia Chuan's real status is still unbreakable.

Long Xue is too old and her talent gradually loses her advantage, and her popularity has no room for growth. Although Chen Jie has talent and age advantages, she is slowly declining as she appears less and less on the stage.

Although Takashima Kako's rise has been very fast in recent years, she still cannot make up for the losses caused by Chen Jie and Long Xue.

Now seeing such a powerful newcomer appearing, Meng Huo feels much more at ease. Yuki Tosaka will not be an exception. Phoenix Company is attracting more talented voice actors to join.

In the evening, after the inspection of the voice actor firm, Meng Huo invited Fukuyama and Bai Yan to have supper after get off work.

"Mr. Fukuyama, has Miss Masako come here too?"

While having dinner, Meng Huo remembered Masako Nakagawa, the female singer. Meng Huo’s piano performance in Tokyo was borrowing her stage.

A few years ago, Meng Huo arranged for Masako Nakakawa and Shen Jie to be the voice actors of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00", but he has not paid special attention since then, and he seems to have never heard of her recently.

"Miss Xiachuan?" Fukuyama stopped: "It's a pity that she didn't come. When I decided to resign, I invited her. She chose to continue to be a singer."

"Didn't we continue to cooperate later?"

"No, the company she belongs to does not allow her to work part-time." Fukuyama sighed: "Our company and other artist companies have conflicts of interest, and many companies do not allow their artists to work with us."

Meng Huo frowned: "That's a pity. She has good abilities. She could have digged it out."

Masako Natsukawa's potential is not as good as Chen Jie and Natsukawa's true excellence, but if it is properly explored, it is indeed feasible to reach the level of Takashima Kako.

Although Meng Huo just sighed casually, Fukuyama remembered his words. That night, Fukuyama called Miss Suzuki, Masako Natsukawa.

Masako Natsukawa ended her evening performance. As soon as she finished taking a shower and was about to go to bed, Miss Suzuki broke into her room.

"Masako, Masako, let me tell you a good news. Teacher He Xi is here in Tokyo!"

"Teacher He Xi?"

"Yes, Teacher He Xi, it is said that all the business of Phoenix Company in Jidong is under his control, which is a rare opportunity!" Miss Suzuki said excitedly: "Mr. Fukuyama said that Teacher He Xi mentioned you, and he still remembers you, so you quit your job!"

"In the past? Become a voice actor?" Masako Natsukawa shook her head: "Didn't I refuse?"

"Masako, don't be stubborn... There is no possibility of development when you continue to stay here. When you are the hottest, you are dubbing "Mobile Suit Gundam 00".

Suzuki reminded that when Masako Nakagawa was the voice actor of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00", someone called her the "Fourth Singer" and was extremely popular.

At that time, Masako Natsukawa's concert was also crowded. The company discovered her potential and praised her like a baby.

However, in the past two years, since Masako Natsukawa can no longer accept the job of a voice actor due to the company's competition, her popularity has continued to decline, and now the treatment given to her by the company has also become worse.

"But compared to voice actors, I still want to be a singer..."

Masako Natsukawa continued to shake her head. It was not that she had considered changing jobs, but her dream was to become a singer, not a voice actor.

"Masako, you are stupid... Look at the current voice actors and singers, what is the difference between celebrities?" Suzuki asked: "Look at the famous voice actors nowadays. Chen Jie, Nakagawa is real. Which of them is not a singer? Which one is not a concert? Most singers are not as good as them!"

“…”

Masako Natsukawa fell into thinking, and this is true. Although the voice actor has won the title of voice actor, it also includes the main work of the singer.

"I'll think about it..." Masako Natsukawa did not answer Suzuki immediately.

Suzuki was a little disappointed: "Then you have a good rest first. You have to go and record the program tomorrow morning."

On Tuesday, Masako Natsukawa must participate in the recording of a program of an online media in Tokyo. This media has a strong online communication ability in the extreme east region, and Masako Natsukawa attaches great importance to it.

When I woke up early in the morning, Masako Natsukawa dressed up carefully and went to the media headquarters with Miss Suzuki.

But before he arrived at the headquarters, halfway through, Suzuki suddenly received a call saying that the program recording had been cancelled.

"Cancel!?" After the car started turning, Masako Nakagawa turned pale with anger: "Why did the promised thing be cancelled suddenly? And she said so late that they deliberately fooled us!"

Miss Suzuki shook her head: "They said the boss suddenly decided to change the interviewee for the show. They had no choice."

"Who are you interviewing?" asked Masako Natsukawa.

"Hey, that's that..." Miss Suzuki pointed to a bus coming from opposite directions. Masako Natsukawa looked over, and then saw an advertisement for a female star printed on the body of the bus.

That female star is called Kako Takashima.

"This Takashima Kako used to be popular, she had no reputation." Miss Suzuki looked at Masako Natsukawa's face and said lightly: "Now she is famous and left you behind. Don't forget what happened on the TV station last time."

Masako Natsukawa felt ache. She remembered that last time she attended a show with Kako Takashima and other actresses on Tokyo TV. As a result, the host kept praising Kako Takashima, but was very cold to her and others.

"That's fine. It's not just you who stole the limelight by her, but others."

Miss Suzuki continued, "But this time it's different. This little girl snatched your job. Masako... are you willing?"

Masako Natsukawa naturally would not be willing to do so. She debuted several years ago than Kako Takashima, and never failed to work hard. When she was singing on the same stage with Kasako Natsukawa and others, Kasako Takashima was still staring at the bottom of the stage.

Such an ordinary girl is now one of the best idols in the Far East just because she has served as the voice actor in several animations.

"Masako, even if you are willing, I am not willing..." Suzuki said, "I feel that you are not inferior to her."

She kept thinking that if Masako Natsukawa had joined Phoenix Company, then there would be no matter what Kako Takashima now. The top voice actor second only to the three Natsukawa Real Three, maybe Masako Natsukawa.

"It's not too late for you to go there now," said Miss Suzuki. "And if I missed it this time, it's impossible for Mr. Fukuyama to invite you again."

"But... is it too late for me to go there..." Masako Nakagawa was a little worried. She hadn't been a voice actor for too long, and I don't know if she could continue to develop in this industry.

"You still have an advantage. Teacher He Xi mentioned you. This is the biggest advantage!" Miss Suzuki saw Masako Natsukawa's expression loosening, her eyes lit up, and she quickly said, "Mr. Fukuyama has always taken good care of us, and he will definitely promote you."

"Besides, you have the popularity base you used to be. As long as you go back, there will definitely be a considerable number of animation fans supporting you..."

Suzuki continued to work hard, and seeing Masako Natsukawa still hesitated, she secretly said in her heart that she was useless: "Masako, think about it carefully, no matter how good it is, it will be better than now!"

"More than now..." Masako Nakagawa's head became clearer. Indeed, her stay in the company would only decline more and more. The competition in the music circle was particularly cruel. She had not succeeded before, and she now had no chance.

In comparison, choosing to join Phoenix Company may have hope of becoming famous again.

"Then... Miss Suzuki wants to go with me too?"

"Of course!" Miss Suzuki nodded excitedly. She had long wanted to change jobs to Phoenix Company, just thinking that if she had no qualifications and no contributions in the past, she would be easily suppressed by other agents. If she was brought up by Masako Natsukawa, it would be different. Moreover, Masako Natsukawa still has an advantage in the voice actor world.

Miss Suzuki persuaded Masako Natsukawa so much, not mainly because of the friendship between the two, but because of her own interests. She knew that the two of them were win-win in the past.

Compared with the original company with a stagnant pool, the more dynamic Phoenix company offers much broader opportunities and future.

"Masako, have you decided? You have made a decision, I will tell Mr. Fukuyama immediately... Our team will follow us!"

Miss Suzuki couldn't wait to say that she believed that other people who assisted Masako Natsukawa would follow him, and no one would refuse such a good proposal.

"Are you going?" Masako Nakagawa was a little surprised: "I can't afford the liquidated damages."

She and Miss Suzuki both faced huge liquidated damages when they changed jobs. Although they were so painful, Masako Natsukawa gritted her teeth and paid it. However, with the others, she was a little unhappy.

"Have peace of mind, you don't have to pay the penalty for them or me." Miss Suzuki smiled and said, "I hinted last year that they should be prepared."

"Miss Suzuki, you have had this idea for a long time, right?"

Masako Natsukawa smiled bitterly, but fortunately she agreed. If she didn't agree, Miss Suzuki would have to change jobs sooner or later. If she left her, Masako Natsukawa would have no hope.

"I have been in this industry for a long time, and I can see clearly than you." Miss Suzuki said: "Phoenix's voice actors will definitely be able to mass-produce celebrities in the future, and their business has expanded too quickly."

When the two returned to the company, Suzuki summoned Masako Natsukawa's team. After asking, it turned out that although the amount of liquidated damages was not small, everyone expressed their willingness to follow Masako Natsukawa to Phoenix Company.

Apart from her, everyone else has seen the future clearly in recent years.

Now Masako Natsukawa cannot dubb the animation, but if she can leave the company and is attracted by He Xi again, as long as she wins a few voice actors in the animation, she will become popular again. (To be continued.) Mobile users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
