Tokyo life starting with painting

All a good animated film needs in the early stage is animation supervision, animation script and character design.

The aspect of character design can be ignored, because many scenes of Higashinoji's "Midnight Ring" can be taken out for the animation staff to participate.

Then the most important thing before us is animation supervision and animation script.

Animation script, also known as script in Japan, is also the so-called storyboard script.

For example, in Higashino Tsukasa's "The Ring", Sadako is actually left-handed, so the subsequent painters must be careful not to draw Sadako as right-handed.

As for having Higashinoji spit out the entire animated movie by himself?

This is undoubtedly unrealistic.

Animated movies are produced in about an hour and a half for shorter ones, and two hours for longer ones. Sometimes seven or eight shots pass in one second - it would take Higashino an hour to draw more precisely by himself.

This is just one second of work.

You asked Higashinoji to spit out the entire animated movie? No printer is that fast.

Therefore, Higashinoji can only do a good job in the early stage of the plot.

Among them, Higashinoji naturally wanted to win the animation script. (The scripts used by voice actors are adapted by special screenwriters, so Higashino doesn’t have to worry about it).

After all, "Midnight Ring" is his own work, so he naturally doesn't want other script writers to come in and completely change the plot of "Midnight Ring" - after all, this is Japan, and in the previous life, "Midnight Ring" "The adaptations of the later parts have been a wake-up call for Higashinoji.

So when Hosokawa Koharu said this, Higashinoji was stunned for a moment, but quickly replied: "I think I can give it a try."

He does lack experience in animation script production, but one thing is worth two. Although he has no experience, as long as he gives it a try, Higashinoji still feels that he can do it.

After all, the art talent in your previous life in the system allows you to quickly master any painting and painting-related techniques. ’Talent is not a vegetarian.

And after all, the production of storyboards is actually not complicated. Although he has no experience in making storyboards, Sharp Co., Ltd. should also take this into consideration because he is an active and popular comic book author.

Higashinoji gained confidence and planned to buy some professional books on storyboard script production methods this afternoon after school.

"I also think Mr. Higashino, you can give it a try." Hosokawa Koharu also nodded: "This is a rare experience. Since Mr. Higashino has the intention to fight for it, I will immediately report it to the editor-in-chief Urashima. Report on the side.”

"Then I'll trouble Editor Hosokawa."

Higashinoji didn't show any pretense and cut off the call with thanks.

And the moment he hung up the phone, he felt the curious eyes of Konoe Ryoka, Takahashi Yumi, and Fujiwara Aoi.

"Some work-related matters." Higashino explained with a smile. After all, it was about an animated movie, and it probably needed to be kept secret for now, so it was hard to explain to them.

He had been eating with Konoe Ryoka and the three of them for several days in a row. After all, he had told Konoe Ryoka earlier to let her eat with him.

As for Takahashi Yumi and Fujiwara Aoi, they didn't want to get involved. Especially Fujiwara Aoi, she felt that they were like light bulbs, interfering with the communication between Higashinoji and Konoe Ryoka - in other words, she didn't want to eat dogs. grain.

However, Tonoji smiled and dismissed Fujiwara Aoi's concerns.

It's not that Higashinoji likes light bulbs, but Konoe Ryoka is so thin-skinned that she can't even lift chopsticks in front of Higashinoji. The atmosphere is so embarrassing.

If Fujiwara Aoi and Takahashi Yumi hadn't been invited to calm down the atmosphere, the people next to them might have thought it was Higashino who forced Konoe Ryoka to eat with him.

So I kept going back and forth, and it ended up in this state now.

"Is it about work? Is "Midnight Ring" an OVA version? I know that Mr. Higashino is very powerful and can fight against all the invincibles in the world——"

Next to her, Yumi Takahashi praised loudly, but her eyes were fixed on the perfectly browned chicken breast in Tonoji's bento box.

Rather than saying that this guy is bragging about herself, it is better to say that she is thinking about her chicken breasts.

In response to this, Tonoji simply smiled and threw the chicken breast directly into his mouth. He had figured out Takahashi Yumi's urinary properties. Even if he gave her the chicken breast, she would still miss him. Everything else in the box.

Seeing Higashinoji eating the chicken breast, Takahashi Yumi said "ah", and then showed a sad expression: "The most powerful person in the world can beat my chicken breast."

But the sadness didn't last long.

Next to her, Konoe Ryoka handed the lunch box over and whispered to her, "Yumi, I have some here too. If I can't finish it, I'll give it to you."

She picked out all the chicken breasts in her lunch box and gave them to Yumi Takahashi, looking at Yumi Takahashi with a pair of big, clear eyes.

For some reason, looking at these eyes, Takahashi Yumi felt inexplicably guilty.

Although she is stupid, she is not stupid.

How could Konoe Ryoka not have enough to eat? This is definitely showing off.

So she shook her head firmly and refused Konoe Ryoka's things until she stuffed the fried chicken nuggets from Fujiwara Aoi's lunch box into her mouth:.

"Hey, Akui is the best to me."

"Nonsense." Fujiwara Aoi was furious as she watched her fried chicken nuggets being eaten. She liked fried chicken nuggets the most, and she didn't say she would give them to someone like Takahashi Yumi.

As a result, Takahashi Yumi suddenly took action and poked away her fried chicken nuggets.

It happened that this guy had practiced kendo, and his attacks were so fast and accurate that Fujiwara Aoi couldn't react for a while.

But Fujiwara Aoi quickly thought of something and said instead: "Yumi, do you know? The final exam is coming up soon, and the winter break will be in a few weeks. Are you ready?"

"Huh?" Yumi Takahashi, who was still chewing fried chicken happily, was stunned for a moment. Then her face turned bitter, and she hurriedly took out the lunch box she had hidden and offered her delicious food to Aoi Fujiwara. : "It's time for the final exam. Master Fujiwara, please save me."

Her grades have been poor for a long time, and she has always relied on Fujiwara Aoi. She has relied on Fujiwara Aoi all the way to avoid failing the class and repeating the grade. As for Konoe Ryoka?

Sometimes she doesn't know what Konoe Ryoka is saying - asking about math means making an auxiliary line, asking about Mandarin means reading a book. Who can understand this?

"How about Higashino-san?" Fujiwara Aoi looked at the lunch box handed over by Takahashi Yumi and slowly picked out the ingredients as if she were selecting ingredients at a vegetable market.

yes.

Since Higashinoji is so smart, he should have no problem with his grades.

Takahashi Yumi looked at Higashinoji with a hopeful expression.

But soon, Higashinoji smiled and shook his head: "I can't do it. I failed in all my subjects."

He has so many things to do all day long, how can he have time to study? Do you really think of him as Superman?

"Hey? But aren't you a genius, Mr. Higashikata?"

Is there anything that can be difficult for Higashinoji?

Not only Takahashi Yumi, but also Fujiwara Aoi and Konoe Ryoka looked over at Higashinoji.

"That's just what people outside think I am. I usually ask Lianghua to help me with my homework."

Tonoji laughed.

Ever since he and Konoe Ryoka became boyfriend and girlfriend, the homework assignments assigned by his teachers were basically all done by Konoe Ryoka.

Listening to Higashinoji's answer, Takahashi Yumi looked a bit incredulous: "Teacher Higashino, aren't you afraid of repeating a grade?"

yes.

This is too scary for Higashinoji. He didn't even do his homework. Isn't it possible that he is not afraid of repeating the grade?

Listening to what Takahashi Yumi said, Konoe Ryoka, who had been silent on the other side, also silently came over and tightened her grip on Higashinoji's sleeves. Her big watery eyes were also a little uneasy - she didn't want to see Higashinoji. Repeat a grade.

"It's okay. I still enjoy some privileges in Kitai Gym. I won't repeat the grade even if I fail all the classes." Higashinoji didn't care.

He does enjoy privileges. Even if he fails all subjects, the North Free School will not block his diploma.

After all, he is now the signature student of the North School, relying on him to attract students from outside.

Even if it was a trivial matter like failing a class, Tonoji didn't even have to ask, Principal Ryuichi Yoshimine would arrange it for him safely.

Takahashi Yumi next to her was so envious that her eyes turned red after hearing what he said. She also whispered that she must get a ranking in the next kendo competition, and she didn't want to take exams all the time.

Regarding Yumi Takahashi's envious expression, Tonoji just laughed happily and said nothing more.

There really isn't much to say.

Rather than this, it would be better to think about the animation script tomorrow.

In this way, the dull day passed quickly. Higashino took time out in the afternoon to buy a few books on animation script production, and then returned home to study hard.

Then, he discovered in a book the animation scripting method that suited him best.

"How to make a storyboard picture book?" Higashinoji pondered, and he probably knew it in his mind.

The next day, Higashinoji carried his bag and got into the special car prepared by Urashima Publishing House and headed for the negotiation location prepared by Sharp Corporation.

"Teacher Dongye, don't be nervous when you get there. I'm right next to you, so don't be nervous."

Hosokawa Koharu followed editor-in-chief Urashima, looking around restlessly with his eyes while admonishing Higashinoji.

She was looking around and nervous, which made Touyoshi speechless when he saw her. However, she kept telling herself not to be nervous. This was just a standard thief cry to catch the thief.

But it's always bad to sigh, so Tonoji quickly smiled at her and said, "Don't worry, I'm not that nervous."

He has done everything he can, and then all he has to do is wait for the results.

Editor-in-chief Urashima quickly arrived at a conference room with Higashinoji, Hosokawa Koharu and other negotiators from Urashima Publishing House.

Opposite the long conference table sat the middle-aged person in charge of this animated film project from Sharp Corporation, named Omori Daichi.

The other party is the director of the Publicity Department of Sharp Corporation, and he is also a well-known character. He is accompanied by two industry insiders who are proficient in animation production. They are obviously well prepared.

But on the other hand, Sharp Co., Ltd.'s attitude is indeed that it attaches great importance to the "Midnight Ring" animated movie.

After all, there is a lot of money invested, so they naturally want to hear the news.

"Hello, Mr. Omori, I am Urashima Yukihei from Urashima Publishing House."

Editor-in-chief Urashima handed over the business card with both hands, and then introduced: "The two people behind me are Higashino Tsukasa, the author of "The Ring", and Hosokawa Koharu, the editor in charge of this work."

The other party also accepted it respectfully and gave the business card in return: "I am Daichi Omori, Director of Publicity and Development of Sharp Corporation. Nice to meet you. Please sit down. Please sit down."

Not only did Hosokawa Koharu get a business card, but even Tonoji received the other party's business card.

Moreover, the other party spoke very kindly and seemed to have no airs at all.

As expected of the management of a large enterprise, they do have some tricks.

A few people sat down, and Higashinoji and Hosokawa Koharu had nothing to do for the time being, listening to the chief editor Urashima and the negotiators talking to each other.

Most of the conversations here were about issues related to the interests of "The Ring". Higashinoji listened for a while, probably because Sharp Co., Ltd. was fighting for the endorsement of the character Sadako Yamamura in "The Ring" and the animation. Film investment issues.

The previous issue of Sadako's image endorsement was a matter related to Higashinoji's interests, so he listened carefully for a while.

The other party was willing to pay a lot of money to win Sadako's image endorsement rights for ten years. The reason why they mentioned this before the animated film was because they were worried that Urashima Publishing House would raise the price if the animated film was successful.

The conversation lasted for about an hour, and in the end Sharp Co., Ltd. successfully won the endorsement rights for the character Yamamura Sadako. After all, only by winning the endorsement rights for Sadako would they start talking about animated movies.

Otherwise, if they had finally invested in making "The Ring" more popular, but ended up not getting anything like character endorsement rights, wouldn't it be a huge loss?

Of course, since this character was created by Higashino Tsukasa, Urashima Publishing House will take part of the endorsement fee, and the rest will be transferred to Higashino Tsukasa's bank account.

It seems that Higashinoji can get 50 to 60 million yen a year.

It has to be said that Sharp Co., Ltd. is indeed rich.

This is just an appetizer, the animated movie "The Ring" is the real deal.

During the negotiations between Urashima Publishing House and Sharp Co., Ltd., the final details of the animated film were finalized bit by bit.

Invested by Sharp Co., Ltd., Urashima Publishing is looking for a trustworthy animation production company or studio in the industry to be responsible for producing the finished animated film "The Ring".

As for "Midnight Ring", it was finally negotiated that Sharp Co., Ltd.'s investment amount was 600 million yen, and the final profits were divided according to the agreement.
