Full-time cartoonist

"I'm so dizzy, I want to come fishing."

Under the bright sun, wearing a sun hat and doing nothing for dozens of minutes except lifting the pole, Hibiki Higashino, who was used to racing against time, couldn't figure out why so many people liked fishing.

He didn't even see the shadow of the fish now.

The sun was as red as tomatoes. I really don’t know how they could survive it.

No, Hibiki couldn't stand it anymore. He walked to the vegetable garden nearby, picked a tomato and ate it in two or three bites like a revenge.

Mr. Yoshino looked at Hibiki Hibiki and then at Ichiro Higashino. He really wanted to say, you are truly a father and son, come and pick my vegetables.

"If you don't like it, there's no need to try it." Ichiro Higashino sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, "There's something wrong with your mentality."

"What's my problem?" Dong Yexiang sat next to him.

Higashino Ichiro looked at the fish float and ignored him.

Dong Yexiang waited for a while and stood up again out of boredom.

With curiosity, he looked around at the home of Mr. Yoshino, a homeless man.

There are iron buckets for boiling water for bathing, and the rooms are made of tents with many economic books inside.

There was a blackboard outside the tent with formulas written on it that Hibiki couldn't understand. Next to it was a bonfire, with an ax and chopped wood beside it.

"It's not easy being a homeless person either."

Dong Yexiang shook his head and went back.

Within half an hour, he came back and forth several times.

"You should go back to drawing comics."

Hibiki returned to Ichiro Higashino again, and Ichiro Higashino suddenly said.

"Why?" Dong Yexiang asked doubtfully.

"Didn't you notice? I have become a lot more impetuous." Ichiro Higashino put the fishing pole on the stand, turned to face Hibiki seriously and said: "In the hour you come to fish, you can only sit quietly for the first half hour. Yes, this is very inconsistent with your character."

"Did you just go to Mr. Yoshino's tent? You didn't get his consent. This is very rude."

"Do you understand it?"

Dong Yexiang nodded.

The implication of Higashino Ichiro's words is that Hibiki's current behavior is caused by doing nothing.

Hibiki Higashino is used to drawing comics, but once he puts it down, he doesn't know how to kill time.

His life has been transformed by comics.

The things you want to get rid of turn out to be treasures.

"That's right." Dongye Xiang sat up, "I understand."

"Bye-Bye."

He waved to Yoshino and Higashino Ichiro, walked to the road and blocked the taxi.

…

After Hibiki Higashi left, Yoshino looked at Ichiro Higashino unkindly, "You saw your son when he just went to my house, why didn't you stop him."

Higashino Ichiro scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Forget it," Yoshino sighed. He looked at the fish float and said quietly: "Hibiki Higashi rarely gets along with you. He came fishing with you today. I can see that you are very happy, so why do you let him leave now? ?”

"Because..." Higashino Ichiro looked at the leaving taxi, "He has his own career. As a parent, you cannot restrict your children to yourself."

Crash.

As the water surface rippled, the fishing rod in front of Higashino Ichiro was dragged into the water.

Gradually leave the shore.

Ichiro Higashino immediately slipped on his shoes, but at this time, Yoshino had already jumped down. He grabbed the fishing rod and started tug of war with the big fish.

"Mr. Yoshino, you and I are very different." Ichiro Higashino looked at this scene and laughed.

"Come and help me quickly!" Yoshino said loudly.

At night, Ichiro Higashino had a 10-pound big fish hanging from the back of his car. He seemed lost, shuttling between bustling cities. The usual 30-minute drive took him two hours to get home.

However, he didn't cover up the license plate number frantically. He was indeed far away from Yoshino's level.

…

When Higashino Hibiki returned home, Akimiya Akemi glanced at him in surprise. She didn't interfere and waved excitedly, "Hibiki, come and see."

"What's wrong?" After entering the door and feeling the air-conditioning, Higashino's restless heart calmed down.

"This is a movie ticket sent by Studio Ghibli! On July 20, the animated film directed by Hayao Miyazaki will be released."

Hibiya Hibiki walked to the refrigerator and asked casually: "What's the name of the movie?"

""Spirited Away"."

Dong Yexiang paused.

…

The time soon came to July 20th. On the way to the cinema, Hibiki Higashino thought of "Spirited Away".

Hibiki Higashino watched this animation when he was a child, and has forgotten all the details of the plot.

I just remember that there are monsters, white dragons, and faceless men. It is a very wonderful world.

The young Hibiki Higashino saw such colorful animation for the first time and was amazed by "Spirited Away".

He stared with big eyes, watching greedily, not wanting to let go of a single frame.

The door to a new world has been opened.

So many years later, no other animated film gave him the feeling of "Spirited Away".

"Howl's Moving Castle" is somewhat good, but it's still not as shocking as watching "Spirited Away".

After arriving at the entrance of the cinema, they walked in. After passing the commercials, the main film was quickly released.

"Chihiro is so cute." Akimiya Akemi clasped Hibiki Higashi's palm and exclaimed in a low voice.

The little Chihiro has baby fat, and her movements are very agile. The animation really depicts the movements and expressions of a 10-year-old girl.

As the animation progresses, the white dragon who helps Chihiro, the angry and money-grubbing Yubaba, the river god corrupted by human garbage, the dangerous and faceless man who longs for friendship, etc. all appear one by one.

This is a Qianxun adventure, tense and exciting. Akimiya Akemi looked at it very seriously. Every time Chihiro was in danger, she would squeeze Higashino Hibiki's hand.

Her eyes were shining, her eyes were unblinking, and the corners of her mouth were raised involuntarily. She looked very happy, and maybe she didn't even notice it herself.

Hibiya Hibiki looked around and saw that all the audience at the scene were like this, whether they were children or adults, they were all immersed in "Spirited Away".

The child sees the adventure that longs for it.

Adults have seen a lot in this animation. Chihiro went from panic to habit, from cowardice to strength. This is what many people have experienced as children grow up.

Fragments from the movie kept flashing by, and Hibiki Higashino was also experiencing the animation.

Under the starry sky, the white dragon carried Qianxun and flew into the sky.

On Bailong's back, a familiar feeling came to his heart, and Qianxun finally thought of Bailong.

When she was a child, her shoes fell into a river. She jumped into the river to pick up her shoes and drowned. It was Bai Long who rescued her.

"When I was a child, I fell into a river. The river has now been turned into a building and filled in. But I remember it now."

"The name of that river..."

"That river is called..."

"Amber River..."

"Your real name is Amber River."

Bailong finally recalled the name taken away by Yubaba.

He turned into a human form, intertwined with Qianxun, and fell from the sky.

"Qianxun, thank you. My real name is "Zhao Zaomi Kohaku Lord"! "

"What a great name! Like a god!"

The eyes of the two people were shining, and Qianxun's tears were blown to the sky by the wind. Against the background music, this section is extremely moving.

Hibiya Hibiki looked at the screen, his eyes completely robbed.

It wasn't until Chihiro rescued her parents and left from the tunnel that Hibiki suddenly realized that the animation was coming to an end.

The lights came on and the audience was silent for a long time.

In the past few dozen seconds, everyone came to their senses and stood up to applaud.

"What a great animated movie."

"The best animation I have ever seen!"

Many people decided they wanted to watch it again.

Hibiki Higashino and Akimiya Akemi left the cinema.

"Director Hayao Miyazaki is so awesome." Akemi Akimiya praised, "Spirited Away is a new milestone for Japanese animated films."

Hayao Miyazaki used his magical imagination to conceive a wonderful world and depict it with meticulous detail.

It tells the story of a cowardly girl who is not interested in the unknown and grows up strong and courageous during adventures.

The grand worldview focuses on small places, and the two are very harmonious, which constitutes the charm of "Spirited Away".

"This is a work that can give children their dreams." Higashino Hibiya nodded.

Hayao Miyazaki and Osamu Tezuka have conflicts. Their animation concepts are very different. But giving children dreams is the same thing.

"Spirited Away" is an amazing animation. Hayao Miyazaki's hard-working craftsmanship has reached the level of an animation immortal.

There are too few people like him.

"But..." Hibiki Higashino was a little confused, "Why did Studio Ghibli give me movie tickets?"

He thought it was a movie premiere, inviting guests or something.

It turned out to be just an ordinary movie ticket.

For Studio Ghibli, this is completely unnecessary.

…

Hibiki Hibiki didn't know what Hayao Miyazaki was thinking. After he got home, he suddenly felt itchy.

After watching "Spirited Away", he wanted to paint works that were not inferior.

In other words, a little difference will do.

Hibiki Higashino painted "The Garden of Words" in 1994, and "Five Centimeters per Second" in 1997. Today, it's time to start Makoto Shinkai's most legendary animation, "Your Name".

The overseas box office of "Your Name" surpassed "Spirited Away", and the Japanese box office ranked second under "Spirited Away".

But we must also take into account the development of the times... It is difficult to compare these two animations.

Higashino Hibiki picked up the pencil and remembered the "Drunkard Rose Saint Incident" again, and he hesitated for a moment.

After learning about the murder, Hibiki Higashino thought of the comic "Death Note" that was banned on the Chinese Internet.

Write the other person's name in the notebook and he will die.

Yagami used the Death Note to punish many criminals, but he also began to go berserk with his ambition to become a god of the new era.

He can kill police officers and detectives for his goals and become a sociopath.

This comic has profound descriptions about society and human nature, and it also provides exciting and exciting battles of wits at the top of the comic.

This is a very exciting evil comic.

After all these years, there is only one "Death Note".

"Your Name" and "Death Note", both works are classics.

Higashikata didn't want to give up.

He hesitated.

"It seems...Death Note will be more interesting."

He gradually made up his mind.

"Eh...wait a minute..." Higashikata picked up the phone, thoughtfully.

…

In "Future Club", Asahina Yuko is working.

In March, Kiko Takagi promised her to apply for an animation script from Hibiki Higashino. She waited patiently for a long time, and now almost half a year has passed, but there is still no response.

"Alas." She sighed softly, feeling that life was meaningless.

At this moment, the phone rang. She saw the caller ID and immediately picked up the phone.

"Higashino-kun, I'm Asahina." She said nervously.

"I'm Hibiki Higashino." Hibiki Higashino said very seriously: "I have a script here."

Hearing this, Asahina's heart beat violently.

"It is a very difficult script to make. The difficulty in terms of music, characters, original paintings, and any animation details you can think of is unprecedentedly high!"

"Do you really want to do this?"

"Of course!" Yuko Asahina replied immediately without any hesitation: "I have been ready for a long time."
