I just want to draw cartoons quietly

And in the middle, behind the table with the producer's label, is a woman in weird clothes.

She looked at Gu Yan with curiosity and scrutiny.

"Are you Gu Yan?"

Chapter 269 Conversation

As soon as Gu Yan walked in, he paid full attention to the strangely dressed girl sitting in the middle.

After all, a girl wearing men's clothes and wearing two fake beards, no matter how you look at it, can bear the word weird.

Moreover, even such a weird dress could not conceal the beauty of her face.

Gu Yan naturally did his homework before coming here, and of course he knew Xia Yin, the producer of "The Brave Who Fell into the Abyss".

After all...... She is not only the producer of this work, but also the producer of Dragon Kingdom's annual popular animation "The Adventure of the Devil" last year.

If it weren't for Xia Yin and her adventure of the devil, last year's popular animation of the year would be unheard of.

It's just... Gu Yan's understanding of her is only that she is a woman, and she is a very capable and talented woman, other than that, she doesn't know much.

But Gu Yan didn't expect that Xia Yin would have such a transvestite habit, and after Gu Yan came in, the look in her eyes always made Gu Yan feel a little strange.

That look is the same as the eyes of those adolescent boys in school looking at her...

Maybe I'm overthinking it!

Gu Yan shook his head, stood in the middle of the stage, and introduced himself into the microphone.

As for Xia Yin who was sitting down, her eyes were full of pity.

A girl with many signs...actually likes men?Being with that guy Shui Xin, what a flower on cow dung!

But since she is a girl who likes men, she must just have a good-looking skin, and the soul inside must be very vulgar.

That would be no pity.

But this is just Xia Yin's view on love. Although she has such an evaluation of Gu Yan in her heart, 99 out of a hundred girls have the same opinion, so it will not affect her opinion of Gu Yan's audition. view.

But as time went by, Xia Yin's eyes gradually brightened.

Looking at Gu Yan who was still on stage, her expression gradually became appreciative.

She thought Gu Yan's audition was pretty good.

The idea of ​​dubbing the heroines of several works that Gu Yan only relied on his love relationship with Shui Xin to win his thighs gradually dissipated.

Leaving aside those guesses, Gu Yan's strength alone is not inferior to those well-known voice actors who came to audition before, and her dubbing style is also somewhat similar to the Koli in Xia Yin's imagination.

However, among the first nine voice actors, there were also voice actors that Xia Yin thought were good, and she didn't compare which one was better.

After more than ten minutes, the final dubbing ended...

"Hi, today's selection has ended, and we will notify you of the final result by phone within three days..."

In the end, Gu Yan only received such a reply from Xia Yin.

By the time I walked out of the T-bone Animation Production Company, it was already 07:30 in the evening.

Gu Yan, who was hungry alone, didn't think too much, and found a ramen shop nearby to solve the dinner on his own.

But not long after Gu Yan sat down...an acquaintance sat down beside her...it was Xia Yin.

And the other party also found her. After all, it was only a small ramen shop, and two beauties came in at the same time. Both of them were very conspicuous in the other party's eyes.

"Hello, Producer Xia!" Gu Yan didn't mean to say hello to her, but since we met, basic courtesy is required.

"Oh, hello!" Xia Yin looked at Gu Yan with curious eyes, but she was not polite, and sat directly beside Gu Yan.

"You also like the noodles at this ramen shop?"

"Uh, it's my first time here, maybe I'll like it after today!" Gu Yan responded.

"Then you will definitely like it! The soup and chili sauce in this ramen shop are super delicious..." Xia Yin looked at the chef who was cooking the noodles inside the shop.

"Soup...... Chili sauce?" Gu Yan didn't know how to respond to her.

This Xia Yin seems to be a little familiar!

And when the two of them were served... Gu Yan finally understood what this guy meant before.

Xia Yin put a huge amount of chili sauce into the white and rich ramen soup, and the whole soup turned hellish red... Gu Yan who was sitting next to her felt a choking sensation The smell of pepper in the nose.

But Xia Yin ate it with gusto, and Gu Yan took a second look and felt that it was a little too scary, and he couldn't learn it in his whole life...he just bowed his head and ate his own.

But...just when Gu Yan was preparing for a quick battle with the idea of ​​the two of them finishing their meals and going home.

Xia Yin beside her suddenly spoke.

"Miss Gu...well, forget it, I'll just call you by your name!"

"Gu Yan...you are that guy Shui Xin's girlfriend!"

"Cough, cough, cough!" Xia Yin's sudden sentence choked Gu Yan, tears came out.

"You.....Why are you asking this?" Gu Yan took a long time to catch his breath.

"It's nothing...... just want to get to know that guy!" Xia Yin had a smile on her face, revealing two dimples.

"After all, the work "The Brave Who Falls into the Abyss" is aimed at this year's best animation of the year. From the present point of view, the most threatening animation born this year is the speed of [-] centimeters per second in the center of water. I understand It’s normal to check the competitor’s information!”

"Get to know Chu Yu?" Gu Yan didn't know how to answer after hearing this.

However, she didn't care about Xia Yin's remarks that she regarded Chu Yu as a competitor.

After all, that kind of thing is meaningless, and in the end it's not about strength.

"Chu Yu's words... I think he is a genius in the animation industry."

However, Gu Yan was not prepared to reveal more to Xia Yin, so he directly summed up his understanding of Chu Yu in this sentence.

"I know..." Xia Yin laughed.

"I have been hailed as a genius in the animation industry for so many years, but that's it. I know my own situation. The reason why I asked you about Shuixin is just curiosity... After all, there are so many people in the animation industry. In the past year, among the young people, there finally appeared someone who I think is quite capable, so I was curious, you don't need to be so nervous, and I won't eat your boyfriend up."

"No...you don't understand!" Gu Yan looked at Xia Yin, with a strange emotion in his eyes.

"I mean... In my understanding, compared to him, other talents are not as good anymore."

This is Gu Yan's confidence in Chu Yu. Gu Yan also knows that there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the animation industry of Longguo, and there are endless big names, but after being in contact with Chu Yu for a long time, Gu Yan still has such an idea.

"You mean...you think I'm worse than him?" Xia Yin's eyes raised interest.

"That's right!" Gu Yan said indifferently.

"Why?" Xia Yin said with a smile.

"Could it be that beauty is in the eye of the beholder?"

"No..." Gu Yan looked at Xia Yin.

"The reason why I have such a judgment is only based on my understanding of him."

"Although I don't know you very well, since you took the initiative to ask me about Chu Yu, it means that the [-] centimeters per second score has put a lot of pressure on you, right... "

Xia Yin's expression didn't change, but she didn't deny it aloud, her attitude was already very clear.

"But...you know Chu Yu's existence, and you feel the pressure of five centimeters per second...but for Chu Yu, I'm sure... .He has absolutely no idea of ​​your existence or who you are."

"Even if your work overwhelmed Unheard Huaming last year and won the most popular animation of the year."

"Also.....in the process of getting along with him, I can feel that for the result of [-] centimeters per second, he is as happy as if his youngest son, whose grades can only be said to be okay, passed the whole class in the exam. The first ten are the same, it is the kind of joy with surprise..."

"But in fact, his goal has never been the top ten, but the first...His confidence comes from others."

"Do you understand what I mean?" Gu Yan looked at Xia Yin seriously.

"Five centimeters per second, which you feel is a lot of pressure, for him, perhaps as long as he thinks, he can create many works of the same level or even better quality."

Gu Yan didn't want to speak out to hurt Xia Yin, she just expressed her inner opinion towards Chu Yu.

But how much Xia Yin could listen to was not her concern.

When Xia Yin heard this, she smiled.

"You are too exaggerated, [-] centimeters per second is already his best animation work, maybe it is his apex, you are too blind to him...... I think, maybe your confidence in him It will be shattered after the broadcast of Madoka Magica Magica."

"You don't really listen to the rumors in the media and think that the magical girl Madoka is a money grabber for that guy, right?" Gu Yan looked at Xia Yin and said with a smile.

"If you know him, you will know... Money is not very attractive to him, his words are only interested in the number one... the number one in the manga periodical, the number one in the quarterly animation , the number one animation of the year....... Although I haven't read the script of Magical Girl Madoka, but from what I know about him...... His expectations for this work are at least The title of No. [-] in winter animation is even higher. If he thinks that the work of Magical Girl Madoka has no possibility of achieving such results, he may not be so eager to launch this work into an animation, so that he can Get busy... There is a high probability that he will save time and do other things, such as playing games." Gu Yan said seriously.

"Although you are worried about whether the new work can exceed the speed of [-] centimeters per second, if I were you, I would pay more attention to the performance of Magical Girl Madoka."

Having said that, Gu Yan didn't say much more.

After talking directly to Xia Yin, she paid the bill and left. After all, she had already talked too much, that is, she was talking about Chu Yu, and what she said would not have a negative impact on Chu Yu. She couldn't help talking too much, and she still understood the reason why she shouldn't make shallow conversations on weekdays.

Xia Yin didn't hold back at all, anyway, if she had the chance, she would invite her back again.

She just kept thinking about Gu Yan's last words... she felt a little annoyed.

No magic girl Madoka would be a dark horse too!

Chapter 2 Seventy Decisions

Gu Yan's act of going to the T-Bone Animation Company to audition this time was just a chance for her to try her luck, and because of her indifferent attitude, she said this to Xia Yin, the producer of "The Brave Who Fell into the Abyss" Many words.

What she didn't expect was... three days later, the news from the T-bone animation company actually informed her that the audition was successful.

what's the situation?

Gu Yan was really surprised. Generally, such large-scale animations are usually filled with seiyuu companies vying for someone to dub the characters. She can be sure that in the past few days... The managers behind the voice actors who auditioned that day should have secretly contacted the producers of this animation, especially Xia Yin, the producer of this animation.

And Gu Yan is also very sure that his salted fish manager should have done nothing.

But in this case...... She received a notification from T-Bone Animation Production Company to pass the character audition.

This situation really made her feel a little weird, but she didn't know why things were developing in this direction.

Even Gu Yan's voice actor agency was surprised, especially when Gu Yan's agent sent Gu Yan's resume to T-Bone Animation Company, she just wanted to try her luck and didn't think so. How to operate in private... But now, the inexplicable Gu Yan was selected, and she also felt that it was outrageous.

In the end, Gu Yan just felt that either his performance in the audition was particularly good and he conquered the animation team of the other party, or the conversation he had with Xia Yin that night gave her a different view of himself. Out of various considerations, he finally chose Own.

However, she evaluated her performance that day from an objective perspective, and it seemed that there was nothing too outstanding.

And a few days later, after Gu Yan's manager accompanied her to sign a contract with T-Bone Animation Production Company, Gu Yan finally couldn't help asking why the other party chose her.

In this regard, the members of the other party's animation production team only vaguely mentioned a sentence.

"First of all, your sound audition is very good, and secondly... Our company is currently producing a large-scale animation this year. In addition to "The Brave Who Falls into the Abyss", there is also "Initial D".. ..."

Gu Yan is also very smart, he immediately understood the other party's consideration.

Although Xia Yin regards Chu Yu as a competitor, but in the same way, Chu Yu is also a partner of T-Bone Animation Company.

Although the current relationship between Gu Yan and Chu Yu is delicate, due to various misunderstandings, basically everyone in the outside world acquiesces in the relationship between Gu Yan and Chu Yu.

Given that Gu Yan's dubbing skills are sufficient, why not sell face to Chu Yu.

After all, Chu Yu's rising momentum in Dragon Kingdom is very strong now. He is only 20 years old, not only is he already a top cartoonist in the comics industry, but also has shown extraordinary achievements in the animation industry. No one knows what Chu Yu will be in the future. No matter how far you go, there may be opportunities to cooperate with Chu Yu in the future... So at this time, if there is an opportunity to sell Chu Yu's favor, the other party will naturally not hesitate.

It's just Gu Yan's words, after hearing the news, she also felt a little awkward in her heart. She still hoped that she could rely on her own strength to get this opportunity...but she is not a rigid person, anyway, this The favor is rubbed off, and I will make up for it in other aspects later.

It's just that Gu Yan thought about it. For Chu Yu, there is no shortage of money. I have confessed to him for so long and I haven't seen him have any tempting thoughts. I want to make up for Chu Yu's help to her in other places. ....... After thinking about it, that guy is just interested in the game. It is impossible to take Chuyu to a few more ranks to repay him. That is too perfunctory. .

Gu Yan started to worry again.

.........

But on the other side, Chu Yu's side.

Li Xi was sitting at Chu Yu's house, arguing with Chu Yu.

"You want to finish Initial D within half a year, and you even want to finish it together with Natsume's Account of Friends, Chu Yu, have you really thought it through? Now that the development momentum of these two works is so good, why do you want to finish it?" Do you do this?" Li Xi frowned, but said in a restrained tone.

"I think it's time for these two works to end." Chu Yu said.

"What do you mean... when it's time to end? In the plot of the initial D, Takumi didn't even rush out of the horses. Obviously, there are still many plots to describe, and Natsume's Book of Friends goes without saying, as long as If you want to draw, this kind of work without a clear main line can be serialized forever...... If you want to finish these two works because of exhaustion of inspiration and can't think of a good manga plot, I may still support you decision...But obviously, I've never felt this from you in the two years I've been with you... A manga artist who is out of inspiration doesn't There will be no delays, and there will be no time to produce a few popular animations." Li Xi looked at Chu Yu and said seriously.

"Chu Yu, you are the creator of the comics, you have the right to decide the direction of your works, but you also need to know that the serialization of comics is a process of a team working together as a whole, and the company has allocated a lot of resources to your works , you rushed to end the two popular works of Shui Yuan, then who will replace the vacancy after the completion of the two works, and what should we do if the readers of the journal are lost?"

"So I'm not asking to end these two works immediately! I've already said that these two works will continue to be serialized for at least half a year." Chu Yu said.
