Chapter 307: Small palm
"Miss Real, thank you for your hard work."
"Thank you everyone!"
The Great East District, Yokohama TV Station, Nakakawa Shin-hurriedly ran into the backstage after thanking the staff, and threw himself into Ryoko Nakakawa's arms: "Mom, how am I doing?"
"You did a good job, real." Ryoko Natsukawa tied a scarf for her daughter and said with a smile: "Let's get out of here quickly, otherwise fans will have to block the road again!"
Natsuki nodded. She put on her hat obediently, followed Natsuki Ryoko into the underground parking garage, and then drove away from the Yokohama TV headquarters from the side.
On the way out, through the car window, Nakakawa saw some men holding her photos blocking the door of the TV station, and some people shouting her name with loudspeakers. If they came out later, these people would definitely be blocked in the garage... Nakakawa encountered this situation a few days ago in Osaka, which scared her at that time.
"Mom, have I become a singer?"
Until the car drove away, Xia Chuanzhen still looked at the door of the TV station that was leaving and asked in confusion: "Do these people really like me?"
"Of course."
Ryoko Nakachuan touched her head and smiled: "You are the most popular new singer in Jidong now. You are also the number one in searches on the Internet. We all take pride in you."
A few months have passed since the celebration. With He Xi's songs, her age and appearance, Xia Chuan has received attention from many TV stations and variety shows in the Far East District. Now she has become a hot new singer. The title of "Gundam Singer" has spread. In a short time, she will be able to go out of Far East and officially step onto the stage of Mainland China.
"But I always feel uneasy..."
He became popular too quickly. Xia Chuan was a little uneasy: "What everyone likes is the composition of the president's brother and Gundam's animation. Without them... would I not be popular?"
She felt that she became popular mainly because of the quality of "Gundam Seed" and the song itself, and was afraid that one day if these two things were gone, they would be knocked down again.
Ryoko Natsukawa smiled bitterly. In fact, most of the songs sung by singers were composed by others. She comforted her daughter and said, "Don't think about it. Of course, the president's song is important, but you are also great to be able to sing it well... The president chose you because you are talented and you are also repaying the president. "Gundam Seed" made you, but you made more people like "Gundam Seed", so you must be confident."
Unlike his daughter, Ryoko Natsukawa has a thorough understanding of interests. Meng Huo really has his own ideas for making him famous, and now the benefits are gradually emerging. The promotional effect of new idols has made many people in the East District interested in "Gundam Seed" and they also know the vigorous profession of voice actors.
"And it's true... The president asked you to go back and sing this time. Isn't this your performance value?"
Ryoko Xia Chuan said again, this sentence made Xia Chuan's real eyes lit up.
"I haven't seen the president's brother for a long time!" I was busy running around during this period. The little girl had no time to meet Meng Huo. But today Meng Huo sent a message to her go back and prepare a few new songs. Xia Chuan was really excited: "I can rest... Mom, the new song my brother said is for the game, right?"
she asked.
"Yes, "clannad." Natsukawa Ryoko nodded: "The president also asked you to dubb a character in this game, you have to work hard to do it."
"Okay, mom, someone on the TV station was talking about this game just now." Xia Chuan showed admiration in real face. He said: "The president's brother is so amazing. He is just a game. Even the people on the TV station know it..."
"What did they say?" Ryoko Natsukawa was a little curious.
"They said this is the second game of the president's brother. The first one is too dark and rarely played. This new game is easy and funny, so they will all play it." Xia Chuan Zhen replied: "They also said that "clannad" can only be bought in the game store. Mom, why is this?"
“Because of advertising.”
Ryoko Natsukawa smiled and said that this time, "Clannad" is sold offline, and there is no need to be sold on the Internet.
This model is the opposite of the release model of "Fate/staynight". It is mainly because after a year of development, galgame games have been recognized by game sellers, and most game stores also have special sections for text adventure games. This makes Meng Huo no longer need online sales. Of course, another reason is that Longquan, the largest game seller in China, bought the exclusive sales rights of "Clannad". He also agreed to provide sufficient advertising for this game.
A text adventure game that costs only a few million yuan requires advertising? If it is sold by Phoenix Company itself, it is certainly impossible to advertise - the advertising cost is higher than the cost, so what's the point? But if someone promises to advertise for you for free, and has strong offline sales channels, will you agree?
Of course, I agree - Phoenix Company is short of money, and it is impossible to refuse such a pie that is falling from the sky.
So although the advertisements of "Clannad" appear in many cities now, Phoenix Company has not paid a penny, and others are helping them advertise for free.
"Why is Longquan Company so stupid?" After hearing his mother's words, Xia Chuan was really confused: "Do they think they have too much money?"
Xiachuan Liangzi was both ridiculous and crying.
"Who would think that the money is too much? But my mother doesn't understand the specific things. But I guess, Longquan Company should be buying the president's future potential..." She touched her daughter's head and said, "Your president's brother is an amazing guy. He may become more powerful in the future, so sometimes even if you know you are losing money, others will want to get closer to him."
The advertisements of "Clannad" only appear in big cities, and are not particularly large in scale. The consumption of advertising costs seems to be a lot for ordinary people, but for those big companies, it should not be a big deal.
Ryoko Nakakawa looked at her daughter, but her face was still a little confused, so Ryoko smiled and said, "Okay, don't worry about these things, just go back to Tokyo and work hard."
"yes."
Xia Chuan nodded obediently.
In November, the temperature in Tokyo was cold. After a night of rest, Natsukawa and the others came to Sakura Company.
As soon as they entered the door, they were warmly welcomed by the company's employees. They were so excited that they came to the president's office.
"The president has gone out to negotiate business." The lady from the communications office stopped the mother and daughter from entering. She smiled and said to Ryoko Nakakawa with a smile: "Miss Ryoko, the president asked you to take the truth directly to the recording studio. The music score and the dubbing lines of the character are all there. You can use the equipment there to practice, or take them home."
Xia Chuan Liangzi nodded. She thought that it was most convenient to bring the music score home. Not only could you practice well at home, but she could also give her daughter some rest.
"I can't see the president's brother..."
Xia Chuan pouted slightly, looking a little disappointed.
"I'll see you next time." Ryoko Nakachuan touched her head and then led her away.
The two of them came to the recording studio, and after saying a few words, a woman immediately came with a stack of documents.
"These are music scores, and these are line scripts that require dubbing..." The woman divided the files into two parts and said, "The game "clannad" will be released next month. Time is very tight. You must learn these songs within two weeks. I think this should not be a problem for you...but this line script is more troublesome..."
She frowned slightly and said, "Because the game has not yet been finished, we only have some images and plot clips, and we cannot let you take them away. So the real lady should come a few more times when she has time to learn dubbing on the spot. The role you match is the daughter of the male and female protagonists of the game. The lines are relatively few, but they have a certain weight. Is it okay?"
"yes!"
Xia Chuan nodded: "I will work hard."
This is the first time she has received a job as a voice actor. She feels quite novel and is eager to try it out.
Ryoko Xia Chuan took Xia Chuan Shi away from Sakura Company. After getting on the bus, she looked at her daughter holding the music score carefully and suggested: "Zheng, you keep those music scores for me, I'll put them away. If they are leaked, it will be troublesome."
"No, wait for me to see..."
But Xia Chuan really refused. She was already attracted by the music scores in her hands: "The lyrics of these songs are so beautiful, it's a pity that my brother doesn't want to be a composer!"
Looking through the music score, Xia Chuanzhen praised it, but frowned while frowned, and became increasingly frowned.
"What's wrong?"
asked Ryoko Nakachuan.
“These songs are a little strange…”
Xia Chuan answered in real terms, staring at the music score. She hummed a few words softly, then said, "Mom, listen to me sing a paragraph, and then tell me how I feel?"
"good."
Of course, Ryoko Natsukawa would not object.
So Xia Chuan sang softly at the music score: "...The little palm also contains the strength that transcends you and me... Under the ripe grape trellis, towards the time full of tears... With these little hands, even if they are separated from each other, they can still move forward on this road... Until one day in the future, they will deeply bury the extremely precious memories..."
She sang a passage and couldn't continue, so she asked, "Mom, this song is called "Little Palm". What do you think?"
“Good song!”
Ryoko Nakachuan nodded, with some surprise: "And it matches your tone, just like it was specially made for you. The president is so amazing!"
"I'm not talking about this!"
But Xia Chuan Shi shook his head and continued, "I mean feeling, feeling! Does this song give you happiness?"
"No……"
At this time, Xia Chuanzhen understood what her daughter meant. She looked surprised: "Yes, this song is not happy at all. Instead, it is a little sad and has a strong infectiousness. How could it be placed in the joyful game?"
The mother and daughter looked at each other with a strange look. They both looked down at the music score. Could it be... "Clannad" is actually not a funny game?
