The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Anime Crossovers

But after he actually dug the hole, he realized just how big a hole Ultraman was.

Moreover, in the process of digging the pit, he had already tricked the entire DaBao Film and Television into digging the pit with him. Even these people who had been making tokusatsu films for more than ten years were digging the pit more diligently than him, making Jiang Hang himself not know how to fill this super huge pit of Ultraman.

All Jiang Hang could do was tell Director Mikami all his knowledge and ideas about Ultraman. He left the rest to the director, who had been making tokusatsu films for over ten years, and the scriptwriters. At most, he could offer some suggestions on the design of Ultraman's suit, trying to preserve Ultraman's original style as much as possible.

After all, it bears the name Ultraman, and Jiang Hang doesn't want Ultraman, a name that is famous in his world, to be disgraced in this world because of him.

Of course, we should still avoid the original Ultraman's acid-stained face.

In short, thanks to the joint discussions between Jiang Hang, Daisuke Mikami, and several screenwriters, as well as the efforts of the art and design teams, the image of the world's first Ultraman was finally decided.

The original Ultraman that Jiang Hang cobbled together was quite similar to the original Ultraman in his memory, and the color scheme was also the classic red and white of the Showa Ultraman.

It seems that the veteran director Daisuke Mikami also prefers this simpler style. Therefore, while Jianghang was still struggling with whether to use the classic red and white colors or the more vibrant colors of the Ultraman from the Heisei era as the design of the first Ultraman in this world, it was Daisuke Mikami who made the final decision.

As for the story, Jiang Hang didn't say much. After all, he didn't remember the plot very clearly. More importantly, the filming era and the people who filmed it were different. Simply copying the Ultraman story from the 60s in the original world probably wouldn't suit the tastes of audiences in this era.

Under such circumstances, it is believed that the experienced tokusatsu director Daisuke Mikami, along with the screenwriters who have written scripts for Gomera for many years and have a good reputation in the industry, are the right choices.

Now all the preparations are almost complete, and the casting process for Ultraman has begun.

Hidehiro Matsui, who served as the suit actor for Gomera for a full ten years and can be said to have dedicated his entire youth to Gomera, was directly chosen by Jiang Hang to be the suit actor for the original Ultraman.

Of course, after "fighting" in the form of Gomera for more than ten years, Hidego Matsui now has to adapt to how to fight monsters after becoming an Ultraman.

In addition, considering that Matsui Hidego, the suit actor, had always wanted to have a role where he could appear on screen, Jiang Hang, after discussing it with Mikami Daisuke, decided that Matsui Hidego would play a teammate of the protagonist, making him an important supporting character.

In addition to Hidego Matsui, most of the other actors in the Gomera cast have also been given new roles in the Ultraman cast. After Gomera is officially released in a few days, Ultraman will officially begin filming.

After reading the scripts for the first few episodes written by the screenwriters at DaBao Films and finding no major problems, Jiang Hang went to the dubbing studio to greet Shizuka Sakaki, who was diligently practicing her monster roars.

It seems that Shizuka Sakaki has given up on participating in other auditions and is now focusing on preparing to voice the monsters after Ultraman starts filming.

Chapter 236: Chapter 234: Shizuka Sakaki's Progress

Under Jiang Hang's guidance, Shizuka Sakaki's voice-changing skills are now in a period of rapid improvement. With her own hard work and the system's assistance, after more than a month of practice, Shizuka Sakaki has finally surpassed the "limit of a normal person" and reached the intermediate level in the skill of "voice changing techniques".

Although in the system's evaluation, Shizuka Sakaki only reached the intermediate standard when simulating monster sounds, and she would need a long time to fully consolidate this intermediate skill, even Jiang Hang was somewhat envious of her speed.

He wants to master a skill, and besides mission rewards, he can either learn it gradually in reality or use a skill book to unlock a learning space.

After all, the effect of the industry template is to improve the abilities of his employees, but it has no effect on him as the host.

However, Jiang Hang thought that given his lazy personality, even if the system applied the bonus of "the harder you work, the more obvious the improvement" to him, it probably wouldn't make any difference.

Now, Shizuka Sakaki's "monster howls" have reached an intermediate level. When Jiang Hang listens to her imitate those monster howls, he feels a chill even with his eyes closed.

This eerie feeling cannot be achieved by simply synthesizing sounds. It is believed that before long, children all over the world will hear the "monster howls" sung by Shizuka Sakaki, and those with a weaker constitution may even regard the monsters in Ultraman as their childhood nightmares.

Perhaps in a few years or even longer, after Shizuka Sakaki has become a well-known voice actress, her "dark history" of voicing monsters will be dug up again, and then a lot of people who were scared by Shizuka Sakaki when they were young will come out to express their shock.

However, seeing that Shizuka Sakaki seemed to be preparing to practice more in terms of creepiness, Jiang Hang stopped her.

"Although Ultraman is aimed at audiences of all ages, the main viewers are definitely children. You can add some emotion to the monsters' roars to increase the tension for the audience, but don't let your roar scare the children so much that they can't watch. What you're doing now is perfectly adequate."

If Sakaki Shizuka continues practicing, Jiang Hang is genuinely worried that a "mental pollution" skill might appear on her skill panel.

Shizuka Sakaki seemed completely unaware of this fact until Jiang Hang reminded her.

"Is this really enough?" Shizuka Sakaki looked at Jiang Hang with some hesitation.

Throughout her career, whether at voice acting school or during auditions, she always received either "you can do better" or "keep trying." The only role she ever got wasn't based on her own abilities, but rather on the aura of the famous detective Jiang Hang.

So when she heard Jiang Hang say that it was enough, she still seemed a little incredulous.

Jiang Hang nodded in affirmation: "You can ask the director; I believe he would say the same thing."

"When the new Gomera movie series moves towards a darker and more adult theme in the future, you can fully unleash your abilities. However, when you're voicing Ultraman, you'd better hold back a little and not scare the kids."

Jiang Hang said this, then paused for a moment: "And you don't really want to voice monsters for the rest of your life, do you?"

Shizuka Sakaki's face immediately looked somewhat embarrassed.

Since returning from the last audition, apart from those third-rate, unregulated voice acting agencies that wanted to ride on Jiang Hang's popularity, quite a few reputable voice acting agencies in the industry have also extended invitations to her.

In the industry, unless you are a top-tier voice actor, the network of contacts that a voice acting agency has is still very important for new voice actors.

In the past, Shizuka Sakaki might have joined a voice acting agency without hesitation, working hard there while continuing to do part-time work in Jianghang.

After all, when she came to Jianghang to apply for the job, she had already said that she was only coming to do it part-time. Even Jianghang had always agreed that she should join a suitable voice acting agency so as not to delay her future development in the voice acting industry.

It's fair to say that she learned more in the two months she spent in Jianghang than she did in the previous two years at voice acting school.

Besides the amazing voice-changing technique that allows her to change her voice at will, Jiang Hang also taught her many acting skills that she couldn't learn in school.

She learned things from Jiang Hang that she never dared to dream of before, and not only did she not pay any price, she also received a considerable salary from Jiang Hang every month.

In addition to her salary, after Jiang Hang acquired the Mihana Art Museum, he gave her the job of an art museum announcer so that she could hone her skills. After he acquired Dabao Film and Television, he even asked her if she was interested in debuting as an actress. Even after the kidnapping case at TWO-MIX, Jiang Hang took her to meet with the famous singer and voice actress Minami Takayama.

To be honest, at first, Shizuka Sakaki suspected that Jiang Hang might have other ideas about her.

But after knowing Jiang Hang for more than two months, she gradually figured out his personality.

Jiang Hang is a very easy-going person in front of the people he knows. He often helps people in trouble in Beika Town.

As Yuno Kiharu wanted to become a "special person," Jiang Hang taught her disguise skills and also mentored her in solving cases and gathering intelligence. Now, Yuno Kiharu can be considered a fledgling female detective.

Imai Midori wants to debut as a screenwriter, and Jiang Hang is now letting her work as an intern screenwriter at Dabao Film and Television to hone her skills.

Of course, Jiang Hang didn't just treat girls this way. For example, after hearing that Matsui Hidehiro, who had been a Gomera suit actor for ten years, wanted to appear on screen, he directly persuaded the director to make him an important supporting character in the Ultraman series.

Knowing Jiang Hang's personality, Shizuka Sakaki ultimately declined the invitation from the formal voice acting agency.

As for the specific reasons, even Shizuka Sakaki herself probably couldn't explain them.

"I think my current abilities aren't enough. It would be better if I continued to work hard and improve in the tokusatsu field." With that thought in mind, Shizuka Sakaki stammered an explanation to Jiang Hang.

Chapter 237: Chapter 235: The Arrival of Himegami Sakura

Jiang Hang noticed the hesitation on Shizuka Sakaki's face, but he didn't think much of it, assuming that Shizuka Sakaki hadn't yet recovered from the trauma of her last audition.

After encouraging Shizuka Sakaki to keep up her efforts, he shifted the topic to Gomera, which was set to be released next week.

"By the way, I'm going to go with some people from DaBao Films to a few private cinemas to discuss cooperation later. Sakaki, do you want to come with me?"

Seeing that Jiang Hang didn't delve into the matter, Shizuka Sakaki breathed a sigh of relief and continued the conversation, going along with Jiang Hang's lead.

The collaboration Jiang Hang wanted to discuss wasn't about the release of Gomera's latest movie; that kind of thing could be handled according to the procedures of Japanese cinemas.

They are currently planning to promote Gomera by contacting several cinemas in Tokyo to hold a special Gomera movie screening, re-releasing all the Gomera films released over the past ten years on the big screen. They will also hold events at these cinemas and nearby convenience stores to distribute movie tickets and coupons to attract new viewers to learn about Gomera.

It seems like there aren't many cinemas, but it wasn't until Gomela was about to be released that Jiang Hang, the boss who only cared about spending money, learned a little-known fact that he didn't know before.

To date, the total number of cinemas in Japan has only reached 400.

Even in Tokyo, which accounts for more than a quarter of Japan's population, there are fewer than 80 movie theaters.

After learning this fact, Jiang Hang's face seemed to be full of question marks.

After all, before he transmigrated, the fourth-tier city he lived in had four or five cinemas, and the total number of cinemas in the country exceeded 10000. The number of private cinemas that were not counted was countless.

In his memory, the movie "Your Name" from a few years ago grossed more than 200 billion yen at the Japanese box office, while "Zero the Enforcer," the movie Conan was jokingly called "Japanese Wolf Warrior" by netizens and whose box office surpassed that of The Avengers during its release, also seems to have grossed more than 90 billion yen.

When Jiang Hang first saw these figures, he complained that the box office revenue didn't seem like much in RMB, so how could it have such a huge impact in Japan? But now that he knows there are only 400 cinemas in Japan, and most films are only shown in one or two hundred cinemas, he understands just how incredible these box office figures are.

Another point is that Japan's total annual box office revenue is around 200 billion yen, which translates to an average revenue of 500 million yen per cinema.

From this perspective, Japanese people are quite willing to go to the cinema, and cinemas in Japan are quite profitable. It's just puzzling why there are so few cinemas in Japan.

After learning about this, Jiang Hang, who always talked about his "small goal of 100 million yuan," even wanted to acquire a few cinemas to set up a small theater chain specifically for advertising.

Once Jiang Hang acquires four cinemas that aren't doing too badly, he can go out and tell people that he controls 1% of Japan's cinemas and box office revenue.

Shizuka Sakaki originally wanted to go to the movie theater with Jiang Hang, but unexpectedly, an uninvited guest interrupted Jiang Hang's original plan.

This uninvited guest was none other than Himegami Sakura, who had just been interrogated and investigated by the police.

In the reception room of Da Bao Film and Television, Jiang Hang met Himegami Sakura for the first time.

Just like in the game, this woman wore a dark, tight-fitting dress, a headscarf, and held a slender pipe in her hand, exuding an air of mystery.

Following her were several men in black who looked like they were not to be trifled with. Jiang Hang could tell at a glance that these men were probably members of the so-called "Himegami Group".

Jiang Hang was somewhat surprised by Himegami Sakura's arrival.

He learned from Phoenix Wright that when he and Reiji Mitsurugi approached this woman, she seemed to already know the purpose of their visit, and directly admitted the true cause of Takeshi Ikubukuro's death in front of Reiji Mitsurugi and Keisuke Itokogiri.

Just as Jiang Hang had predicted, it was ultimately the director of the Great General, Yu Zai Takuya, who turned himself in to the police. He confessed that when Ibuki Takeshi wanted to take revenge on Himegami Sakura, he pushed her against the iron fence of the flower bed. He also wanted to frame He Xing Saburo. So, after destroying the Great General costume that Ibuki Takeshi was wearing, he moved Ibuki Takeshi's body to Studio One and dressed him in the costume of the Evil Official, and stuck the spear into Ibuki Takeshi's chest.

After doing all this, he also contacted several people who knew they were at the Yingdu Photography Studio at noon, and asked the security guard to delete the surveillance footage showing them before the police arrived.

According to the director, he was responsible for all of this, and the most direct evidence is that it would be almost impossible for Himegami Sakura, as a woman, to handle Takeshi Ikuro's body alone.

Now, Yu Zai Takuya has voluntarily come forward to turn himself in. Although during the investigation of Yu Zai Takuya, the police learned that Yu Zai Takuya, the director of Yingdu Studio, has been Himegami Sakura's number one "simp" for five years and is very likely to step forward to take the blame for Himegami Sakura this time, unfortunately, Himegami Sakura has not shown any flaws and there is no evidence to point to her.

Furthermore, based on the police's on-site investigation, it has been basically confirmed that Takeshi Ibuki died when he fell down the stairs onto the iron railing during the struggle while attempting to attack Sakura Himegami. The question of whether to determine whether it was "self-defense" or "manslaughter" has given the police and the prosecutor's office a real headache. They can only charge Takuya Uzai and Sakura Himegami with "damaging a corpse" for now.

Jiang Hang originally thought that Himegami Sakura was busy dealing with Ikuto Takeshi's matter recently, but he did not expect that she would come to meet him at this time.

In the meeting room, Shizuka Sakura looked somewhat nervous as she looked at the four men in sunglasses with unfriendly expressions standing behind Sakura Himegami.

She looked at Jiang Hang with some concern, as if she wanted to ask him whether she should call the police.

Jiang Hang gave her a reassuring look, and she realized that her boss was no ordinary person either.

In a somewhat tense atmosphere, after pouring a cup of tea for Jiang Hang and Himegami Sakura, the assistant, Sakura Sakura, left the meeting room at Jiang Hang's instruction.

Chapter 238: Chapter 236: How did I become Moriarty of the Heisei era?

While Jiang Hang was sizing up Himegami Sakura, Himegami Sakura was actually sizing up Jiang Hang as well.

Before coming here, Himegami Sakura had used her connections within the Himegami Group to investigate Jiang Hang.

Her initial purpose in investigating Jiang Hang was simple: she had heard that Jiang Hang wanted to acquire Yingdu Photography Studio.

Although Yingdu Photography Studio was just a dispensable toy to pass the time for her, she still wanted to find out who Jiang Hang, the "rich detective" who had found out the truth about Takeshi Ikuta's death and wanted to buy out Yingdu Photography Studio, was.

However, the final results were not many. Although the Himegami Group was an established gang in the Kyoto area, its influence had not officially entered Tokyo. Only Himegami Group's "young lady" and a few bodyguards remained in Tokyo, and she did not have many people at her disposal.

In her investigation of Jiang Hang, Himegami Sakura first investigated the cases that Jiang Hang had experienced as a detective.

He became famous for stopping the Phantom Thief Kid's theft. In the recent murder case that caused a great deal of discussion and was broadcast live on television, he easily found the truth. He also seems to be involved in the recent high-profile case in which several police officers were shot and killed.
