Chapter 525: Holidays are coming
Starting from the second day after returning to Su Hua, Meng Huo returned to his working state.
The last week before the annual leave was very busy. He had all the year-end summary and department meetings. He didn't even accompany her well after Li Qin came. Li Qin came over for lunch, and then returned to Qingcheng with the helper sent by Meng Huo.
The work of various departments has entered a busy finale, and voice actors from all over the country have also come back one by one. Although it is not clear how artists from other companies celebrate the New Year, Meng Huo gave voice actors under Phoenix Company the same long vacation as other employees.
Voice actors who return to Manga Island don’t have to go out anymore. They can leave after holding the performances on Manga Island for the last few days. Even like some people who have no performance arrangements, they have already taken their bodyguards home for the New Year after reporting.
As the holiday approached, everyone looked happy. A few days later, Meng Huo received a notice from Datang and Longquan Company that his game was successfully released.
"Teacher He Xi, for your game, we have postponed several of our company's models. Do you think we should take care of us?" Li Longshan personally called Meng Huo to report the good news, and also happily expressed that they hoped to get greater care from Meng Huo.
"Okay, what do you want to take care of? Do you share the sales?"
Meng Huo responded in one go. The New Year was a time when game merchants were showing their strength, and it was indeed a big loss for the two companies, Datang and Longquan, to make room for free.
"Forget it, the share will not change this time. We will increase our investment in advertising." Unexpectedly, Li Longshan not only did not ask for money, but instead offered greater help: "But Teacher He Xi... We hope that you will release the "Five Centimeters in Seconds" game next year. Under the same conditions, we can give priority to the agents of our two companies."
What Datang and Longquan Company want is the game agent of "Five Centimeters in Seconds", which is the big head. "Five Centimeters in Seconds" has a great influence and a good reputation. Everyone can know that it will inevitably become popular. The movies and games they launch will be the targets of everyone's competition. Although Li Longshan and the others are closer to Meng Huo, they are also afraid that Cheng Yaojin will be killed.
Meng Huo agreed without considering it too much. If the other party gave the same conditions, even if Li Longshan didn't say it, he would hand over the game to them - after all, he was a friend who had worked with him several times. The release time was determined. The game had to start mass production, but at this time, Shen Jie and the others had not recorded the song, and Meng Huo came to the office again.
He didn't enter through the main entrance because the main entrance was very crowded and it was crowded.
"Why is it so congested?" Meng Huo was led into the office by Alice and said on the way: "Isn't the university town on vacation? How come there are so many people?"
It is February now, and most of the students in Suhua University Town go home on holiday. Logically speaking, the audience should be the least.
"Because they are back," Alice smiled and said, "The popular voice actors in our firm rarely come back. This time everyone is back, so of course there are many viewers."
She took Meng Huo outside the recording studio. Then she looked through the glass and said, "It's the real recording now. Let's walk in quietly."
Meng Huo nodded, and he followed Alice into the recording studio. The recording studio is divided into two halls inside and outside. The inner hall is the recording place, only Xia Chuanzhen sings alone, and the outer hall is the place where some staff operate it. But now, in addition to the staff, there are several people sitting in the outer hall, including Long Xue, Takashima Xiangko, Chen Jie, and two handsome young men who are exactly the same.
Meng Huo and Alice did not make any noise when they came in. They didn't notice that they were listening to the song quietly. Xia Chuan was singing "Blue Sky". Although it was soundproof, some could still be heard in the outer hall.
"This is what you said about "Blue Sky", which is very suitable for her voice." Alice whispered to Meng Huo: "I heard Chen Jie said that this game is called "air", right?"
Meng Huo nodded and looked up at Xia Chuanzhen who was singing seriously on the screen. He was a little surprised that Xia Chuanzhen sang better.
This time the game is "air", which is like "clannad" a very famous text adventure game. The story mainly focuses on summer and tells a legend of winged man spanning thousands of years. The symbol of "clannad" is "spring", and the symbol of "air" is "summer".
The reason why it is not in line with the current season is that Meng Huo originally planned to be released in the next few months, when winter was over.
Moreover, he did not have the idea of bringing all the four works of "Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter". He had never played one of these four games, so he did not want to hype the name of this group in this world. The main reason why he chose "air" was actually because of the songs in the game.
"Poem of Birds" - a song called the national anthem of the AG in his previous life. It was still very popular after more than ten years of publication. It can be said to be a milestone song. Meng Huo always wanted to take it out, but he didn't know which other works to put it in, so he finally decided to bring the original game.
"Bird's Poem" is the theme song of the game "air". It can best express the game's concept, and the story of the game best highlights the charm of the song. "Blue Sky" sung by Xia Chuan is an interlude of the game. It is also famous, but it is a little worse than "Bird's Poem". Meng Huo did not have much expectations for it at first, until Xia Chuan sent the recording back.
When Xia Chuan sent back the "Blue Sky" she sang, Meng Huo was extremely surprised... She sang the original works he had heard in her previous life. This is a simple interlude, but after it flowed through Xia Chuan Chuan's mouth, it was like a cocoon into a butterfly, as beautiful as the sound of nature.
In fact, this is not surprising. The song "Blue Sky" can almost be said to have no instruments involved, and is a sad song sung by pure sound. And Xia Chuan's real voice is too in line with it. Her ethereal and sad voice is perfectly displayed on this song, which can naturally express a kind of sadness of a girl.
"This song can make her perform her true colors. No wonder she snatched it from Chen Jie..." Alice sighed softly: "Actually, "The Poem of Birds" is very suitable for reality. I think she sang it no worse than Chen Jie."
She has listened to both songs several times in the past few days. "The Poem of Birds" also has a sense of sadness. It is very suitable for Xia Chuan Shi. Moreover, Xia Chuan Shi's "The Poem of Birds" is not worse than Chen Jie. Alice suspected that Meng Huo was deliberately favoring Chen Jie - but she felt that Meng Huo should not do such a thing.
"I like the real "Bird Poem" that I sang very much, but it's a bit sad." Meng Huo shook his head. He could understand Alice's doubts. In fact, in terms of the beautifulness of the song, "Bird Poem" can really be said to be invincible in Xia Chuan Zhen and Shen Jie.
However, it is a pity that Xia Chuan Zhen sang "Bird's Poem" very well. The ethereal inspiration is better than Chen Jie, which is a bit sad. "Bird's Poem" only needs sadness, but "Bird's Poem" needs other things in addition to sadness. If this song is given to Xia Chuan Zhen, it will only make people hear its sad side and cannot experience other things.
Chen Jie performed better in "Bird Poem". This song is the longest among all the songs "Air". The original song travels at 122 beats per minute, and the singer's range needs to be increased from f4 to d6, almost two octaves, which is difficult to deal with. In terms of song details, Chen Jie sangs more perfect than Xia Chuan, and her expressiveness is very strong.
"But if there are a few more years... maybe the situation will be different..."
Meng Huo thought to himself that if Xia Chuan grew up a little longer, "The Poem of Birds" would definitely be better than Chen Jie in her mouth.
In fact, among the songs in his mind, songs with the characteristics of tragedy and ethereality account for a large part. His favorite styles in his previous life were these two types of styles, and these songs are also the symbols of many anime. Xia Chuan's real voice and talent just fit the characteristics of these two.
It is Meng Huo’s luck to be able to find Xia Chuan as a voice actor, and it is also Xia Chuo’s luck. Anime music is completely different from the popular music styles of China. Xia Chuo’s real voice is a niche in the music industry. If Meng Huo did not come to this world, she might not be able to take off in her life.
Soon, Xia Chuan finished singing, and Meng Huo couldn't help but clap his hands.
"Teacher He Xi, why are you here?"
Long Xue turned her head first and was surprised. They only realized that Meng Huo and the others had arrived. The two male voice actors stood up nervously and greeted Meng Huo alternately. However, when Meng Huo turned to look at Kako Takashima, the girl snorted coldly and looked away.
As long as her personality has not changed, Meng Huo has no time to rub against her. His eyes looked at Chen Jie and Xia Chuan Zhen, who had just walked out of the inner hall, said: "The release time of the game has been decided. Don't be too slow. You will record the completed version of the two songs in the afternoon."
Xia Chuan Zhen was still a little excited when he saw him, but he immediately pulled his face down when he heard this. She and Shen Jie have been competing in secret these days. Neither of them wanted to give up these two songs, but neither of them believed in each other.
"What, do you have any questions?"
Meng Huo found that Chen Jie's face was not good either.
"No...", "No..."
Xia Chuanzhen and Shen Jie immediately compromised, neither of them wanted to make Meng Huo angry, and although they were competing for sing, there were no other conflicts.
"Then Alice, remember to help me collect it in the afternoon... The arrangement is still the same. "The Blue Sky" is sung by the truth, and "The Bird's Poem" is handed over to Chen Jie." Meng Huo turned around and said to Alice.
Alice nodded: "I get it."
She has always done things properly. That night, the game production department completed the finished version of "air" and successfully put it into mass production.
Chapter completed!
