Chapter 525: The Holidays Are Coming
From the second day after returning to Suhua, Meng Shu returned to work.
The last week before the annual leave was very busy, and various year-end summaries and department meetings filled his schedule, and even Li Qin didn't accompany her well after she came over. Li Qin came over for lunch, and then returned to Qingcheng with the helpers sent by Meng Yu with the special products.
The work of various departments has entered a busy finishing stage, and the voice actors across the country have also returned one after another, although it is not clear how the artists of other companies spend the New Year, but Meng Xu gave the voice actors of Phoenix Company to enjoy the same long vacation as other employees.
The voice actors who returned to Manga Island didn't have to go out anymore, they could leave after the last few days of the show, and even like some people who didn't have a performance schedule, they had already gone home with their bodyguards for the New Year after reporting.
The holiday is approaching, and everyone is happy. Within a few days, Meng received a notice from Datang and Longquan that his game release arrangement was successful.
"What's a pity, teacher, we are for your game, but we have postponed several of our own company's games, do you think we should take care of us?" Li Longshan personally called Meng Huo to report the good news, and at the same time happily said that they hoped to get more care from Meng Huo's side.
"Okay, what do you want to take care of, sales share?"
Meng Shu agreed, the Chinese New Year was supposed to be a time for game companies to show their skills, and the two companies Datang and Longquan did have a lot of losses when they vacated the space.
"Forget the share, this time the share will remain the same, and we will increase investment in advertising." Unexpectedly. Li Longshan not only didn't ask for money. Instead, he offered to help even more: "But why not pity the teacher...... We hope you release the game "5 Centimeters per Second" next year. Under the same conditions, you can give priority to let our two companies act as agents. β
What Datang and Longquan want is the game agent of "Five Centimeters per Second", which is the big head. "Five Centimeters per Second" has a great influence and a good reputation, everyone can know that it will inevitably become popular, and the movies and games launched will be the object of competition by everyone.
Meng Shu agreed without much thought, if the other party gave the same conditions, even if Li Longshan didn't say that he would hand over the game to them - after all, they were friends who had cooperated several times. The release time has been decided. The game must also start mass production, but at this time, Shen Jie and the others have not recorded the song, and Meng Shu came to the office again.
He didn't enter through the main entrance, because the main entrance was very crowded and crowded.
"Why is it so blocked?" Meng Shu was led into the office by Alice, and said on the way: "Isn't the university town a holiday?" How can there be so many people? β
It's already February, and most of the students in Suhua University Town have gone home for the holidays, so it stands to reason that the audience should be the least right now.
"Because it's true, they're back." Alice smiled: "The popular voice actors in our office usually don't come back, but this time everyone is back, and of course there are many audiences." β
She took Meng Huo outside the studio. Then he looked through the glass and said, "Now it's the real recording." Let's go in quietly. β
Meng nodded and followed Alice into the studio. The recording studio is divided into two halls, the inner hall is the place where the recording is made, only Natsukawa sings in it, and the outer hall is where some staff operate. But now there are several people sitting in the outer hall in addition to the staff, including Long Xue, Kako Takashima, Shen Jie, and two handsome young men who are exactly the same.
Meng Shu and Alice didn't make any noise when they came in, they didn't notice it, they were listening to the song quietly. Xia Chuan really sang "Blue Sky", although there is sound insulation, some can still be heard in the outer hall.
"This is what you said about "Blue Sky", which suits her voice very well." Alice whispered to Meng Shu, "I heard Shen Jie say that this game is called "Air", right? β
Meng Shu nodded, looked up at Xia Chuan Zhen, who was singing seriously on the screen, he was a little surprised, Xia Chuanzhen sang better.
This time the game is Air, which is just as famous as Clannad. The story is mainly based on summer, telling a legend of the winged people that spans thousands of years. The symbol of "Clannad" is 'Spring', and the symbol of "Air" is 'Summer'.
The reason why it is not the 'winter' that is in line with the current season is because Meng Huo originally planned to release it in the next few months, when winter was over.
And he didn't have the idea of moving all four of the 'Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter' titles, one of which he hadn't played before, so he didn't want to hype up the name of the group in the world. The main reason why he chose "Air" is actually because of the songs in the game.
"Bird's Poem", a song known as the ACG national anthem in the previous life, is still very popular more than ten years after its release, and it can be described as a milestone song. Meng Shu always wanted to take it out, but he didn't know which other work to put it on, and finally decided to move the original game.
"Bird Poem" is the theme song of the game "AIR", which best expresses the concept of the game, and at the same time, the story of the game also highlights the charm of the song. And Xia Chuan's real singing of "Blue Sky" is an episode of the game, it is also famous, but it is a little worse than "Bird Poem", Meng Shu originally didn't have much expectation for it, until Xia Chuan really sent the recording back.
When Xia Chuan really sent back the "Blue Sky" she sang, Meng Shu was very surprised...... She sang more beautiful than the original book he had heard in his previous life, it was a simple interlude, but after flowing in Xia Chuan's real mouth, it was like a cocoon into a butterfly, like a natural sound.
In fact, it is not surprising at all, the song "Blue Sky" can almost be said to have no instruments involved, it is a sad song sung with pure voice. And Xia Chuan's real voice is too suitable for it, her ethereal and mournful voice is perfectly displayed in this song, which can naturally express a kind of girlish sadness.
"This song can be performed by her true colors, no wonder she snatched it from Shen Jie's hands......" Alice sighed softly: "Actually, "Bird Poem" is very suitable for reality, I think she sings no worse than Shen Jie." β
She has listened to both songs several times in the past few days, and "Bird Poem" also has a sense of sadness, which is very suitable for Xia Chuan Zhen, and Xia Chuan's real singing of "Bird Poem" is no worse than Shen Jie, Alice has some suspicions that Meng Shu is deliberately favoring Shen Jie - but she thinks Meng Shu should not do such a thing.
"I like the "Bird Poem" that I really sing, but it's too sad." Meng Shu shook his head, he could understand the doubts in Alice's heart, in fact, just talking about the beautiful Cheng dΓΉ of the song, "Bird Poem" can really be said to be indistinguishable in the hands of Xia Chuan Zhen and Shen Jie.
However, it's a pity that Xia Chuan's real singing of "Bird Poem" is very good, that kind of ethereal spirit is better than Shen Jie, that is, it sings a little sadly - "Blue Sky" only needs to be sad, but "Bird Poem" needs something else besides sadness. If this song is given to Xia Chuan to be real, it will only make people hear its sad side, and not be able to appreciate anything else.
Shen Jie's performance in "Bird Poem" is even better, this song is the longest of all the songs in "AIR", the original song travels at a speed of 122 beats per minute, and the singer's vocal range needs to go from F4 to D6, almost two octaves, which is difficult to handle. In terms of the details of the song, Shen Jie sings more truthfully and perfectly than Xia Chuan, and her expression is very strong.
"But if it's a few more years...... Maybe it will be different......"
Meng Shu thought in her heart that if Xia Chuan really grew up a little more, "Bird Poem" would definitely be better than Shen Jie in her mouth.
In fact, the songs in his mind, songs with two characteristics of sadness and ethereal occupy a large part, his favorite in his last life is these two types of styles, and these songs are also the hallmarks of many anime, Xia Chuan's real voice and talent just fit the characteristics of these two.
Being able to find Xia Chuan as a voice actor is Meng Yu's luck, and it is also Xia Chuan's real luck. Anime music is completely different from the current pop music style in China, Xia Chuan's real voice is a niche in the music industry, and if Meng Huo hadn't come to this world, she might not have been able to take off in her life.
Soon, Xia Chuan really finished singing, and Meng Shu couldn't help but clap his hands.
"What a pity, teacher, why are you here!"
Long Xue turned her head first, taken aback, they only now found out about the arrival of Meng and the two. The two male voice actors got up a little nervously and greeted Meng Huo alternately, but when Meng Huo turned his head to look at Kako Takashima, the girl snorted coldly and looked away.
It's good that her personality hasn't changed - Meng Shu doesn't have time to rub her shoulders. His eyes looked at Shen Jie and Xia Chuan Zhen, who had just come out of the inner hall, and said, "The release time of the game has been decided, don't rub it off, and record the finished version of the two songs in the afternoon." β
Xia Chuan Zhen was a little excited to see him at first, and immediately lowered his face when he heard this. She and Shen Jie have been secretly competing for the past few days, and neither of them wants to give up these two songs, but neither of them is convinced.
"What, do you still have questions?"
Meng Shu found that Shen Jie's face was not good.
"No ......", "No ......"
Xia Chuanzhen and Shen Jie immediately compromised, neither of them wanted to make Meng Yu angry, and although they were arguing, there were no other contradictions.
"Alice, remember to collect it for me in the afternoon...... The arrangement is still the same, "Blue Sky" is sung by the truth, and "Bird Poem" is handed over to Shen Jie. Meng Shu turned to Alice and said.
Alice nodded, "I see." β
She has always done things properly, and that night, the game production department finished the finished version of "AIR" and put it into mass production.
Soon after, Phoenix also ushered in the New Year's holiday, and the comic island became empty. (To be continued......)
