Chapter 137 I’m Really Not a Voice Actor (2)

Tokyo, Studio Ghibli.

This time, only Hayao Miyazaki greeted Sosuke Kitahara. Isao Takada and Toshio Suzuki ran to apply for various documents required by the company. Since Sosuke Kitahara invested 100 million yen, this studio is no longer just an animation production. It's not a hobby group, but a real company.

After the three people discussed it, they decided that Toshio Suzuki, the oldest and most knowledgeable about business, would serve as president, Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takada would serve as directors, and Sosuke Kitahara would be elected as the honorary president, and all future directors would be appointed as president. Animations produced by Studio Ghibli will be labeled "Produced by Kitahara".

The old man's move was unexpected by Kitahara Sosuke. He said cheerfully: "President Kitahara, please don't refuse. Thanks to your 100 million yen, we can successfully raise funds and register, and we still have extra funds to produce animations. It's really great." Thanks!”

For a dream chaser, having the support of investors with such insight and recognition of heroes is like meeting Bole with a bloody BMW, and the gratitude is difficult to express.

At this time, the real economy was in a downturn, and even major animation production companies were struggling. Small studios like theirs were almost bankrupt and disbanded, and they couldn't raise funds. It would be great if they could have money to produce animations. I didn't even think about it. There is such a thing as registering a club!

Kitahara Sosuke's move is a real life-extending move!

Hayao Miyazaki sighed and praised that Kitahara Sosuke, who was only the section chief last time, has now become the acting branch president. He has never heard of such a rocket-like promotion.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of person must be a workaholic and have a strong background. I am afraid that he rarely pays attention to the entertainment industry such as animation, but Kitahara Sosuke feels like a senior industry practitioner. The views are also very unique and creative.

"This time the soundtrack was supervised by Suzuki-san, and the theme song was sung by Ms. Yumi Matsutoya. It cost some money. Fortunately, with the 100 million you gave us, we don't have to consider the cost issue." Hayao Miyazaki is most worried about funding. As a result, the animation is not perfect. Now that the initial capital is so large, there is no need to worry. He can show off his skills. "The total cost of "Kiki's Delivery Service" is 9.05 million yen. Do you want to review the finished film now?"

"Okay, let's take a look now." Kitahara Sosuke is quite curious about this "Kiki's Delivery Service" that he has modified according to his wishes. Moreover, the total cost of funding this time is 2 million yen more than the original one. The quality should be higher.

On the side, Ran Kitano was in low spirits. She was not interested in animation, so she just came to watch it casually with Sosuke Kitano.

Hayao Miyazaki opened the curtains and started showing the animation.

Kitahara Sosuke watched this animation when he was very young. For the 1990s, it was indeed a rare masterpiece. It was the kind that would definitely make money if it was put up and sold.

At that time, "Kiki's Delivery Service" became a hit and became the highest-grossing movie of the year, with a box office of 4.3 billion and distribution revenue of 2.17 billion!

It also created a well-known advertisement for Yamato Transportation. Since then, Yamato Transportation has been unrivaled in the express delivery industry and has become an industry oligarch.

The cost increased by 2 million yen. Sure enough, the level of painting and the quality of the finished film have improved a lot. Kitano Ran, who has never liked watching animation, was also attracted to it.

The plot of the animation has not been significantly adapted, except that the city where the little witch Kiki goes looks like Osaka today, the convenience store proprietress has become the proprietress of the whole family, and the flying broom used by Qiqi has been replaced by a snow wolf named "Kitahara".

The image of the direwolf is based on the design of Kitahara Sosuke. He is aloof and cold, but has a tender heart.

The plot of the finished film is of extremely high quality, and Sosuke Kitahara watched it with gusto. After the animation, Hayao Miyazaki nervously asked about his thoughts after watching the film.

"It's great, it will definitely be popular!" Kitano Lan praised sincerely.

She now greatly admires Kitahara Sosuke's ability to recognize people. He found such an excellent animation studio in the vast sea of ​​​​people and was able to have professional exchanges with such a master. This man must be too amazing.

But Sosuke Kitahara remained silent. The quality was really good. If he put it up like this, he would definitely meet his expectations.

"Everything else is good, but the dubbing of the direwolf seems lacking." Kitahara Sosuke frowned and said truthfully, "Isn't there a way to find a more suitable voice actor?"

"There are very few male voice actors who are aloof and abstinent, and we have worked hard to find them. Those who meet the requirements have schedules. As expected of Mr. Kitahara, your views are consistent with mine. This is also what worries me."

For Miyazaki, small flaws mean imperfection, and he pursues the ultimate perfection.

But this problem cannot be solved.

At this moment, Kitano Ran looked at Kithara Sosuke and suddenly said timidly: "Actually, I think President Kithara's voice is quite consistent with the direwolf's setting."

"Ah?" Kitahara Sosuke was stunned.

"President Kitano said this. Maybe you can give it a try!" Hayao Miyazaki thought for a while and nodded, "Snow Wolf is based on President Kitano's character setting, and I will star in it. Maybe there will be unexpected surprises! "

He is a person who does what he says, and he quickly found equipment for Sosuke Kitahara to audition and record.

Kitahara Sosuke just gave it a try casually. After he finished recording, he looked at the two of them and smiled awkwardly: "Sorry, I'm really not a professional voice actor. I'd better find someone else to try."

"What is President Kitano's opinion?" Hayao Miyazaki looked at Kitano Ran.

Kitano Ran's eyes were filled with stars: "It's great~ It feels so good~"

"I think so too, it's very suitable!" Hayao Miyazaki nodded.

In this way, Kitahara Sosuke made a cameo appearance in the dubbing for no apparent reason. Fortunately, the direwolf didn't have many lines. After the recording was completed, the sound was edited and added later.

It was approaching six o'clock, Kithara Sosuke and Kitano Ran hurriedly said goodbye and rushed to Ginza, Tokyo for a banquet.

L'Effervescence Restaurant is a high-end and well-known French restaurant located in Ginza 4-chome. It is in the most prosperous place. Kitano Ran ran to go shopping knowingly, but she did not dare to appear in front of other people in the Kitano family.

She is still very good at positioning herself.

Ginza in Tokyo is as famous as the Champs Elysées in Paris and Fifth Avenue in New York. It is one of the three most prosperous centers in the world and is also known as the heart of Tokyo. Not long ago, the land price in Ginza was 3 million gold (approximately 300 million yen). ) per level is simply a sky-high price that ordinary people cannot imagine.

The land here has long been divided up by consortiums, and Kitahara Sosuke's first pot of gold can only buy 100 square meters in Ginza.

Ginza is located in Chuo-ku, Tokyo. Chuo-ku is located in the center of Tokyo's 23 wards and is also the three major centers of Japan's economy, information, and commerce. The famous Bank of Japan, Tokyo Stock Exchange and other Japanese economic cores are located in Chuo District.

Land prices in Chuo Ward are second only to Minato Ward and Chiyoda Ward.

Walking here, Kitahara Sosuke couldn't help but sigh that the business development of Japan's small country is indeed very good. In the 1990s, it was indeed at a level comparable to Zhu Xiong's.

When he came to the restaurant, the beautiful waiter welcomed him in and took him to a remote and quiet booth. There was a wooden piano in the center, and a beautiful girl in a Lolita dress was playing the piano gently. It was a very classic "Blue" Color Danube".

When the girl saw him walking over, her fingers trembled slightly and her eyes couldn't help but turn.

He's much more handsome in person than in the photos.

Marihua Ito curled his lips. He didn't expect to meet his father's nemesis while working part-time. How could he suddenly come to Tokyo?

Kitahara Sosuke saw the two sisters sitting in their seats and pulled out the chair with a smile. Before he could sit down, he heard Kitahara Reiko's clear and cold voice.

"Aosuke, you are one minute and 12 seconds late." Reiko Kitahara glanced at the bright and beautiful ladies' watch on her wrist, "Don't do this next time."

"Hey, big sister, why are you so serious every time? It's because of this that Sosuke has been kissing me since we were young and doesn't dare to play with you." Next to her, Kitahara Ningzi was wearing a long white shirt and a blue tie. He was wearing a black tie, with his long black hair hanging down like a waterfall, and his two slender white legs just crossed on the table, attracting a lot of attention.

She was not wearing hot pants, and her white shirt barely covered her underwear. She was leaning against the sofa, humming a song and reading the menu.

"Financial practitioners must have a rigorous sense of time." Kitahara Reiko has nothing to do with this second sister. The three of them have been like this since childhood. Each has their own personality and characteristics, and they do not interfere with each other and coexist peacefully.

Kitahara Reiko is rigorous and intellectual, Kitahara Neiko is free and bold, and Kitahara Sosuke is introverted and silent.

Speaking of which, after time travel, Kitahara Sosuke gradually changed other people's understanding of his original self. Fortunately, he didn't meet his family very often. It is normal for some temperament changes to occur in a few years.

It seems that in order to prevent the secret from being revealed, they will have more contact with their family members in the future so that they can gradually develop an understanding of their new couple.
