Tokyo life starting with painting

County government, Kumamoto Prefecture Publicity Department meeting.

"Chief Fumugu, how is the progress of your Kumamoto Prefecture mascot design task over there? Are there any difficulties?"

A middle-aged man with a kind face looked at Shenmu Qiren in front of him and asked with concern.

His name is Taken Tanaka, and he can be regarded as the person in charge of the promotion of Kumamoto Prefecture’s mascots.

Strictly speaking, he is Shenmu Qiren's boss.

But to be honest, the work of Shen Mu Qiren's design team has been slow to advance, and every time they come here they report worries but not good news.

This caused the work of the publicity team on the other side to temporarily come to a standstill.

If this continues, let alone the end of the year, I feel that there will be no way to promote the Kumamoto Prefecture mascot character throughout the county in March next year.

As the Minister of Publicity and Development, Tanaka Ken will naturally come out to beat Fukagure Kirito and ask him to complete this task target before the end of the year.

Sensing the deeper meaning of Tanaka Ken's words, Fukure Kirito was actually secretly scolding MMP in his heart - this was not something he could decide, and there was nothing he could do if he didn't have a suitable mascot character before.

You can't use those discarded cases, right?

To be honest, every meeting was basically a meeting for Shen Mu Qiren to admit his mistakes and criticize him. He was pulled out and criticized and criticized again - but this time it was different.

Shen Muqiren calmed down her emotions, raised her head and answered seriously: "The design of the county's mascot character has made great progress, and the design team will definitely be able to deliver results before the year."

He even felt that Higashinoji would be able to solve all the problems and finalize the image of Kumamon in just a few days without even needing years ago.

"Really?" Tanaka Ken originally thought that he was about to enter the familiar "admittance" phase of Shenmu Qiren again.

Unexpectedly, the other party actually gave such a guarantee. The other members of the publicity department were also stunned, obviously surprised by Shenmu Qiren's answer.

After all, they had heard before that the design team was stuck in progress, and there was no change at all.

Sensing the surprise of his colleagues, even Shenmu Qiren felt a little embarrassed - his group had indeed been delayed for a long time.

But when she thought of Higashinoji and his Kumamon, Kirito Fumugure became energetic again and explained to them: "Actually, this time it was because we invited Mr. Higashinoji from Urashima Publishing House. He designed the It’s a very good mascot image, and I expect that the first product will be available for everyone to see in the next few days.”

Mr. Higashino from Urashima Publishing?

"Is this the teacher Higashino who painted "The Lonely Gourmet"?"

A young government employee raised his hand and asked.

The name Mr. Higashino has recently become particularly famous among the new generation of young people in Japan.

In particular, his paintings "The Ring" and "The Lonely Gourmet" are loved by many young people.

But except for this young staff member, none of the other middle-aged men present had heard of this name. They lowered their voices and had a subtle discussion below.

"It's that Mr. Higashino." Kirito Fumugure nodded: "Mr. Higashino's ability to design characters is very good. He only came to Kumamoto Prefecture for a few days and already had a design idea and finalized the first draft."

In fact, Higashino decided on the first draft of Kumamon on the first day he came here, but the speed was too amazing. These colleagues would definitely be worried about the quality, so Kirito Fumugure helped cover it up.

"Really? That's really a capable teacher." Tanaka Ken didn't know Higashinoji either, but it was rare to hear a good news from Fukure Kirito, and he was actually a little happy in his heart.

He groaned with satisfaction, and then nodded: "Then, Section Chief Shenmu, please work harder. You can also use some of the resources of other groups to try to let Mr. Higashino completely complete the mascot role within these two months." Finalize it.”

"You should try your best to meet any requirements from Teacher Dongye, and be sure to speed up the progress."

Then he checked the situation of the publicity team and the holster production team, and found nothing missing, so he ended the meeting.

Shen Muqiren and the section chiefs of several different groups also smiled and exchanged greetings for a while before leaving the conference room comfortably.

This was the first time that he had left the conference room so easily.

You must know that at this time in the past, he had been hung up and criticized many times by Tanaka Ken.

Higashinoji is really his lucky star.

Shenmu Qiren wanted to see the progress of Higashinoji's work.

But if he went there frequently, he felt a little bad, and it seemed like he was forcing Higashinoji.

"It's better to wait for Mr. Higashino."

The other party also said that it would be over in the next few days, so he might as well let the red rabbit horse rest for a while.

After making up her mind, Shen Mu Qiren breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the design team's office.

There are some budgets over there that need his approval.

To be honest, it doesn’t take long to create PPT copywriting. Higashinoji has already prepared the content that needs to be added to the PPT.

The main color of Kumamon is black, which is mainly to match the color of Kumamoto Castle, a historical landmark building.

The reason why it has two funny blushes is not just to increase its cuteness, but more importantly because Kumamoto Prefecture is known as the "Land of Fire", plus the watermelon and tomato production in Kumamoto Prefecture It ranks first in Japan, so it wears blush on its cheeks. Without the blush, Kumamon is just an ordinary black bear.

Higashinoji recalled the knowledge he gained about Kumamoto Prefecture in the past two days, and then compared it with the image of Kumamon Bear. Through the combination of the two, he summarized many meanings that he had not noticed before.

To be honest, it doesn't take Higashinoji long to just be a copycat and plagiarize the image of Kumamon.

But for the key action design, Higashino had to start from scratch, and this process cannot be ignored.

Still the same sentence - Wen Chao Gong also needs to use his brain, and a simple and rigid Wen Chao Gong will definitely not work.

Higashino stretched himself and looked at the PPT that had several pages written on it.

The specific copy of Kumamon has basically been written, and with the combination of pictures and text, the Kumamon left on the laptop screen looks very interesting.

Next is the PPT of Kumamon’s movements.

Just when Higashinoji was about to work harder and finish all the PPTs, Higashino Chihaya behind him had already eagerly leaned over: "Asi, Asi, Asi."

She called Asi several times in succession, which made Higashinoji turn around and ask her in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"I'm hungry." Chihaya Higashino put her index finger to her mouth.

oh--

Only then did Higashikata react.

It was already one o'clock in the afternoon. Breakfast was eaten at eight o'clock. Five hours had passed directly. It was natural for Higashino Chihaya to be hungry.

Even Higashinoji feels his stomach is empty now.

"Then let's go eat."

"Um!"

Higashino stood up, turned off the power, and walked out of the hotel with Higashino Chihaya.

This hotel has an independent restaurant and provides free breakfast every day.

But the taste is not particularly good, so Higashinoji plans to take Higashino Chihaya out to eat.

Perhaps because of the meal, Higashinoji and Higashino Chihaya had just left the hotel when they met Hayakawa Su and Mizuno Manabu who had returned from outside talking and laughing.

"Good afternoon, teachers." Higashino took the initiative to say hello.

"Ah, good afternoon. Are you going to go sightseeing again, Mr. Higashikata?" Hayakawa Su responded, and then asked a little curiously.

Higashinoji has been here for two days, so why does he take his sister out for sightseeing every day? Do you regard this work as a pure trip?

This kind of lazy attitude even felt a bit bad, even Hayakawa Su and the others.

Although they are not particularly interested in this job, they will still work when it is time to work. Higashino makes it seem like they are the only ones working hard, which makes them a little uncomfortable.

This is like a group of fishermen coming to a group of fishermen who is better at fishing than them. Naturally, it makes them feel uncomfortable - how can you be more lazy than me?

"Teacher Higashino, the salary offered by Shenmu-san is quite good. I hope you can work harder. Maybe the mascot character you designed will be favored by Shenmu-san?"

As Hayakawa Su spoke, he felt a little unworthy of Kirito Fumugure. After all, Higashinoji was too good at fishing. They could say that they fished for three days and dried the net for two days. Higashinoji felt that he had always been I never stopped posting on the Internet.

"Don't worry, I'm just taking my sister to eat."

Higashinoji naturally understood the meaning of Hayakawa Su's words. He smiled and shook his head, but also sighed a little.

Human beings are indeed the most complex creatures in the world. He clearly saw that these colleagues did not want him to work hard, but when they saw that he was really fishing, they seemed to be unable to help but talk a few words.

So in the end, Higashinoji just nodded politely to them, left without arguing or arguing, and left calmly.

There really isn't much to say.

When others are prejudiced against you from the bottom of their hearts, it’s useless even if you say it out loud.

Therefore, Tonoji personally prefers to convince them with facts.

only

Next to her, Chihaya Higashino seemed a little unhappy.

She saw Hayakawa Su and the others getting further and further away, then she got closer to Higashinoji's ear, and said to Higashinoji very unhappily: "Asi, Aji, why do I think they have a problem with you?"

"It's okay." Higashinoji smiled and patted Higashino Chihaya's head: "I don't care if they have any objections to me."

It's not Higashinoji's style to be upset and angry because of other people's thoughts.

He has always been very open-minded and generous.

Higashino thought so and made a big decision in his heart.

Tomorrow night at the latest, show all the designs of Kumamon to Kirito Fumugure.

No soup was given to Hayakawa Su and the others.

On the third day after arriving in Kumamoto Prefecture, Higashinoji's room.

Higashinoji had already entered into the proofreading work at this time, mainly to correct typos and check whether the pictures were misaligned.

He turned over page after page and examined it carefully.

After this proofreading work lasted for five minutes, he exhaled with satisfaction and stretched hard——

"Finally finished."

Yes, it's finally all done.

The PPT of Kumamon's three basic movements, as well as the major meanings of Kumamon's body, including the copywriting of the origin of Kumamon's name, are all ready.

This is considered the first version of Kumamon's manuscript, and it will definitely need more refinement in the future, but it is already considered a finished product, and it is enough to be reviewed by Kirito Fumugure.

At least Higashinoji didn't mean to be perfunctory at all. In this PPT, everything from the origin of Kumamon's name to what Kumamon likes to eat is clearly listed.

With these, it can be regarded as a qualified character design plan.

He looked at the time and found that it was just past six o'clock, so he took out his mobile phone and called Shenmu Qiren.

The blind tone on the phone only rang twice before being answered.

Higashinoji was impressed by the efficiency of the other party and said: "Fumu-san, the first version of Kumamon's design draft has been completed. Do you have time to come over? Do you want to come over now? Well, that's no problem. Okay, okay ,good."

Tonoji hung up the phone with a strange look on his face.

It was indeed what he expected for the other party to come over now.

But this is too anxious, right? It felt like someone was chasing Shenmu Qito with a knife.

He shook his head, put his phone on the table, and waited for Shen Mu Qiren to arrive.

On the other side, Shenmu Qiren's office.

"Teacher Higashino actually produced the finished manuscript today?" Shenmu Qiren opened her mouth and looked at the cell phone that had hung up, her eyes filled with disbelief.

He originally thought that two to three days was already Higashinoji's limit. After all, it took two to three days to complete the design of a themed mascot. This was already considered the speed of flying.

But Shen Muqiren didn't expect it at all.

Higashinoji is not an airplane at all, and its completion speed is simply a rocket.

You must know that even if there is a professional design team, it will take at least more than a week or two weeks from discussing the design theme to the finalization of the plan. As a result, Higashinoji only came for three days to figure out the entire Kumamon plan. Already?

Even if Tonoji emphasized on the phone that it was just an early stage plan, it would already be great.

At least it’s a finished product!

If you look at the other teachers, it took a week longer to come here than Higashinoji. Now they are still trying to figure out the topic, and they don’t have much idea at all.

Shen Muqiren didn't know what it meant to form an army with one person before, but now she has seen it.

While sighing, Kirito Fukure was also a little worried about the quality of the finished product painted by Higashinoji.

There's no way, it's too fast.

Even if he had confidence in Higashinoji, he would still have the question, ‘Isn’t it possible that the finished product is not very good? ’ idea.

“This is a must-see”

Shen Muqiren suppressed all the thoughts in her heart and muttered something in a low voice.

Then he walked out of the office and quickly drove towards the hotel.

If Higashino Shizhen’s design is successful, then Fukure Kirito can imagine the headline of the Kumamoto Prefecture news——

Genius designer Higashino Tsukasa created the prefecture’s mascot, Kumamon, in just three days.
