The VA selection was very successful. After listening to the auditions that lasted several hours, Tang Hao selected 70 out of 100 VA's, plus a few male VA's, to participate in the unparalleled masterpiece, "Fantasy Land."
A thirteen-episode, season-long anime actually used more than 70 VA's. In a sense, it was indeed an unparalleled masterpiece. After all, other than those long anime that lasted more than a hundred episodes, there had never been such an example in the industry.
In fact, according to the producer's own opinion, a maximum of 20 VA's would be enough. As for the fairies and the villagers in the human world, they could be assigned to these VA's. After all, VA's were all monsters, so changing their voices was not a problem at all.
But now, Tang Hao had hired a voice actor for every seductress and even villager. This was undoubtedly a huge expense in terms of expenses. Unlike other professions, voice actors were paid based on the number of episodes they appeared in. Even if they only spoke one sentence or line throughout the entire process, they would still be paid based on the number of episodes they appeared in. Although there was a difference between the value of a big shot and a newcomer, the difference was not huge. After all, in the Japanese industry, voice actors were actually very cheap.
Most of the time, some VA's could only get a few movies in a year. If they did not take other part-time jobs, they might starve to death.
Of course, with the development of the times, VA's had gradually moved from behind the scenes to the front. Although the idolization of VA's had changed some things, it also gave VA's more opportunities to make a living. They could participate in events, sing, and so on. Even when they were not acting in an anime, they could still make a living with a certain amount of money. This allowed them to go further on the path of being a VA.
Although some people thought that this change was a setback for the industry, if they could not even afford to eat, how many people could persevere on the path of this dream? If the newcomers could not persevere, would the industry not regress even faster?
If the script was the life core of an anime, then the VA would be its soul. Without a soul, no matter how great a life was, it would not be able to bloom its brilliance.
However, only famous VA's had the opportunity to be idolized. The newcomers who had just debuted could not even get a side character, let alone be idolized.
Therefore, Tang Hao was willing to give them a chance. As long as their voice was qualified, he would hire them. Perhaps such an opportunity would allow these newcomers to persevere for a period of time, and this perseverance might even lead to the emergence of an outstanding VA in the industry in the future.
As for the problem of money, he did not even consider it.
In any case, he was generating electricity for love. Tang Ritian was not short of money!
"In short, what I mean is that the animation must be done well. I've already seen the script and the storyboards, and they're very good. Carry on with it. I only have three requirements. The first is quality, the second is quality, and the third is still quality. As for the expenses, that's just a small issue. So, I'll leave the animation to you, Supervisor Kinoshita, Lord Gothic Loli, and everyone present."
After the VA selection, while there was still some time left, Tang Hao specially invited several of the main dubbing VA and Musashino's animators. He booked an entire floor of the hotel and invited everyone to a banquet, showing off the prestige of a local tycoon.
Everyone present quickly raised their glasses in greeting, feeling flattered. After all, Musashino was not a big company. Most of the time, it could even be considered a punching bag, especially during the production of the lightly modified "Three Women" animation. They had suffered a lot from the client, but Tang Hao, the client that Miyomori Kui had pulled over, was a generous person that they had never seen before.
Firstly, he did not interfere with the production of the animation. Secondly, he gave them an extremely ample budget. Thirdly, he did not make any strange requests. He was simply the best client in the world. They could not help but want to shout, "Praise Brother Tang!"
In short, the banquet was a joyous one. After eating and drinking their fill, everyone returned to their respective posts and immediately threw themselves into work.
The client had placed so much trust in them that they had to produce the animation in their best condition as repayment.
However, Tang Hao deliberately kept the five members of Miyomori Kui's high school fan club. He then found a hotel car and drove them back to Miyomori Kui's rental house.
In the car, Tang Hao noticed that Imai Midori's expression was a little strange. She looked like she wanted to say something, but stopped herself. It was as if she was struggling with something. Tang Hao observed her for a while and felt that it had something to do with love. She might have fallen out of love.
Although there was no love plot in "White Box", and it was only a story about friendship and dreams in the workplace, Imai Midori, as a university student, might have someone she liked. Unfortunately, her name was not very good. Imai Midori, Imai Midori. It sounded like she had been NTR.
Of course, it was not convenient for him to ask about such personal matters, so he just pretended that he did not see it.
After a while, they arrived at Miyomori Kui's rental house. It was almost time for Tang Hao to go back, so he asked the five of them, "What about the rest of you? Do you want to come with me now, or do you want to discuss it further? "
"Well …" They looked at each other, still hesitating. Actually, Ema Yasuhara and Shizuka Sakaki were more inclined to accept it. Even if they did not live at Tang Hao's place, they could go there often to get to know the female lead better. It would be of great help to their drawing and dubbing. However, if they really lived there, it did not feel right.
Wouldn't it give people the feeling that they were a kept woman?
If they were more realistic girls, they would have agreed to such an opportunity. However, they were quite ambitious and were more inclined to be self-reliant. Otherwise, they would not have come all the way to Tokyo to live independently. On the other hand, it was because of their purity and persistence that Tang Hao extended the invitation. He wanted to improve their lives to the best of his ability, so that their dreams would be smoother.
However, Tang Hao understood their persistence and decided to let them think about it. "If that's the case …"
Beep beep beep!
At that moment, Tang Hao's phone suddenly rang.
Tang Hao immediately shut his mouth, took out his phone, and was stunned.
The notification came from the chatroom. A new member had joined the group, but …
[# ¥%&· Join the Anime Chatroom]
Tang Hao's eyes widened. This was the first time he saw a new member's name being garbled. He originally thought that the garbled code was handwritten and wanted to change it, but he realized that he could not change it no matter what. Even after he changed it, it was still garbled. Even the new member's world was covered by the garbled code …
"This lousy group, there's finally a bug."
Tang Hao beeped, and then he received a call from Amethyst.
"Did you find out?"
"Yeah, what's going on?"
"I'm not too sure. The only thing I can confirm is that the new member is in your world."
"My world? White box world? "
"Yes, I used my authority as the temporary group leader to find out, but this new member has some special mutation, so her identity is completely covered, and I can't find out."
"It can't really be a bug, right?"
"I can't be sure yet. In short, you have to find this person as soon as possible. I suspect that this person may be in a quantum state of observation. If you delay, things might change."
"Okay, I understand."
Even Amethyst could not find out, so Tang Hao could not help but become more serious. After the call ended, he casually opened a door on the side and said to the five people, "I have something to do, so I can't take care of you for now. You guys go over there and take a look."
"Eh, eh, eh?"
Yasuhara Ema and Sakaki Shizuka had traveled to another world before, so they were not surprised by Tang Hao's casual opening of a door. However, this was the first time Imai Midori and Fujitao Misa saw it, and they were instantly stunned by the dream-like scene in front of them.
Then, before they could ask any questions, Tang Hao pushed them in one by one. After all, it was not the time to care about their emotions. However, when it was Miyamori's turn, the latter said, "I'll stay and help."
"You?" Tang Hao was a little skeptical. He thought that Miyamori might not be able to help.
However, at this time, Amethyst's voice came. "Yes, she is also a member of the chat room. All of our group members are actually under the chat room's network. If she gets close to the new group member, she might be able to find the other party's signal."
"Okay."
When Tang Hao heard this, he immediately nodded, then grabbed Miyamori's body and rushed to Musashino's company. When he arrived, he put her down. "Let's split up."
"Okay!"
Miyamori nodded vigorously, quickly ran to the company to get the key, and then drove the car in the opposite direction from Tang Hao.
Miyamori looked at her phone while driving, her expression particularly focused. Ever since she joined the chat room, she had never participated in a recruitment mission. Instead, she had always received help from the chat room and the group. Although no one expressed any dissatisfaction, she still felt a little guilty. Now that she finally had a chance to be of use, she was particularly excited.
On the other hand, Tang Hao shuttled through the city at an inhuman speed. The scenery along the way was like a horse lantern. From time to time, he would look at his phone, but there was no response at all.
"You said that the new group member is in this world. Is he from this world?" Tang Hao asked on the way.
Amethyst: "I don't think so. Ordinary people can't produce this kind of quantum observation reaction."
"In other words, the new group member is like Yinori Sakata. Something happened when he joined the chat room, and he mistakenly entered this world?"
"Yes, and I suspect that the guy didn't bring his phone, or he just turned it off."
Tang Hao also thought so because he had just sent a few messages to the new group member, but all of them went unnoticed. Perhaps even the new group member himself didn't know that he had joined the chat room.
"That's troublesome. How are we going to find him in such a big world?"
Tang Hao frowned. The difficulty was no less than looking for a needle in a haystack.
"Don't worry, he should be in that city."
"Do you have any proof?"
"Yinori Sakata."
"… Okay."
Tang Hao understood. When Yinori Sakata mistakenly entered the small hero world, he quickly met Omar because the place they arrived at was the city where the main characters were. Similarly, this new group member who mistakenly entered the white box world, even if something happened, should be in the city where the main characters were.
If it was just Tokyo, the search area was much smaller.
But no matter what, Tokyo was still a big city. It was not easy to find a person whose name, age, and even gender were unknown in such a place. After at least half an hour, there was still no signal from Tang Hao's phone.
But a few minutes later, he received a voice message from Miyagi Senkui.
"Boss, I found him!"
"Really? Where? "
"In a park. I'll send you the address."
Soon, Tang Hao received the address from Miyagi Senkui. He then compared it to the map. Fortunately, it wasn't too far.
In just ten minutes, Tang Hao arrived at his destination. When he saw Miyagi Senkui, his phone also received the same signal. But that was no longer important. He immediately flew to Miyagi Senkui's side. "Where?"
"Over there." Miyagi Senkui pointed forward. Tang Hao looked down and saw a phone one meter in front of him.
"Just a phone?"
"Yes, I haven't touched it."
Maybe it was related to Miyagi Senkui's first animation. She was very experienced in dealing with crime scenes. When she saw only a phone, she didn't touch it blindly. Instead, she waited for Tang Hao to solve it.
"You are too careful."
Tang Hao was speechless. He bent down to pick up the phone on the ground.
After looking at it carefully, he judged that it was a woman's phone because there were some beautiful and cute pictures on the back of the phone. The accessories were also very feminine … Of course, he couldn't rule out the possibility that it was an uncle with a girl's heart. But this couldn't explain the faint fragrance of a girl coming from the phone. His nose was very sensitive.
At the same time, the phone was indeed not turned on.
He tried to turn on the phone to confirm the identity of the person, but unfortunately, the phone was locked and he couldn't open it.
"Can you find it?" Miyagi stood on the side and asked cautiously.
Tang Hao smiled. "No problem."
It was really not difficult because the phone still had the owner's fingerprints and breath, as well as a little residual body temperature. This at least could determine that the person had not gone far, and might even be in this park.
Of course, this was also thanks to Miyagi Senkui not touching the phone. Otherwise, she might have destroyed the clues.
Her cautiousness was rewarded. Tang Hao immediately spread out his perception domain to search the entire park. Soon, he saw a life signature under a slide for children to play on.
Tang Hao walked over with Miyagi Senkui. From a distance, he saw a figure shrinking under the slide. From the size of the figure, it seemed to be a child. He didn't deliberately control his movements, and after hearing the footsteps of the two, the child under the slide seemed to be a little afraid and shrunk back.
"Are you there?"
Tang Hao stopped two meters away from the slide and asked with a calm tone as much as possible.
"I picked up this phone. Is it yours?"
After seven or eight seconds of silence, a small head carefully poked out from the slide.
It was a girl. She looked very cute, but her long bangs covered both sides of her cheeks, so it was hard to tell for a moment. She seriously looked at Tang Hao and Gong Senkui a few times, and seemed to confirm that the two of them were not in danger. Only then did she move half of her body out, and slowly nodded.
Tang Hao knew that no girl could resist the omnipotent Asasi, so he squatted down, grinned, and said in the most gentle tone, "Don't worry, your brothers and sisters won't hurt you. I just happened to pick up this phone and want to return it to its owner. Can you tell me your name?"
Hearing this, the little girl shrunk back again, and her clear eyes became a little vigilant.
Tang Hao knew what she was worried about, so he didn't disturb her. He just maintained his smile and waited for her to calm down.
After this stalemate for more than ten years, the vigilance in the little girl's eyes gradually disappeared. She grabbed the slide with both hands and whispered.
"I … I'm … Shi Qi … Kuang Three."
"…"
"Huh???!!!"
Tang Hao was completely stunned.
