Tokyo life starting with painting

The "Midnight Ring" animated film has been scheduled in advance, and there will be a premiere at that time that Higashinoji needs to attend.

Perhaps because they knew that Higashinoji's "Unnatural Death" was about to be released as a stand-alone book, the production team of "Midnight Ring" placed the movie's release date three days before "Unnatural Death", which was on Saturday. By the way, they also helped Higashinoji's "Unnatural Death" "Unnatural Death" was promoted, and we decided to add a small line on the lower part of the promotional poster that said ""Unnatural Death" was lovingly joined and produced by Mr. Higashino".

Anyway, it doesn’t take much effort to write just a few words, and maybe it can attract some readers of “Unnatural Death” to watch the movie?

This was a win-win situation, so Honda was naturally willing to do it. By the way, he also gave Higashinoji some tickets to the premiere, asking him to be sure to attend.

It certainly doesn’t take Naohashi Motohashi to say this. After all, "The Bell" is the work of Higashino Tsukasa, and he will definitely participate.

But there are a few more tickets.

After thinking about it, Tonoji called Takahashi Yumi and Fujiwara Aoi: "Takahashi-san, are you free on Saturday?"

"Huh?" Takahashi Yumi, who received the call, had potato chips stuffed in her mouth. Her eyes widened when she heard Higashinoji's words: "Teacher Higashino, you can't eat what's in the pot and still think about what's in the bowl." , Lianghua is my friend, there is no way I would have an affair with you behind her back."

""Higashinoji.

Higashikata was speechless.

Where is this going?

What kind of fornication? Can you please stop being so ugly when you speak?

However, considering that Yumi Takahashi has always been so careless and doesn't think too much about what she says, Tonoji replied angrily: "I'm just asking you if you have time to watch "The Ring" with me. , I have extra tickets here, and by the way, I also want to ask Fujiwara-san if he wants to come along."

"Premiere?"

This is a novel thing.

Yumi Takahashi and Aoi Fujiwara often watch movies, but this was the first time they attended the premiere.

Takahashi Yumi was a little excited, and turned her head to look at Fujiwara Aoi next to her.

Fujiwara Aoi didn't speak when she heard it, but she obviously showed a particularly interested expression.

In this case, it is equivalent to a decision.

Fujiwara Aoi and Takahashi Yumi reported back and said that they would definitely attend the premiere of "The Ring".

After receiving this answer, Higashikata nodded.

As for Konoe Ryoka? She will definitely go together when the time comes, but Akisa Kuromiya and Riko Hasegawa don't need to worry about Higashinoji at all.

The two of them are members of the production team of "The Ring", and of course they also got tickets for the premiere, especially Riko Hasegawa. As the heroine Reiko Asakawa of "The Ring", Riko Hasegawa will definitely attend the premiere. of the screening ceremony.

The contract she signed was obligated to help promote it.

Sure enough, after Tonoji called Takahashi Yumi and Fujiwara Aoi, Hasegawa Riko also called immediately.

She shyly told Higashinoji that he would also attend the premiere ceremony, but could he please help bring her sister Sachiko Hasegawa with her? This little guy seemed to have always wanted to see her in "The Ring" 》Animated movie.

Higashikata agreed to this without hesitation.

Sachiko Hasegawa, it’s true that I haven’t seen that little guy for a long time. I don’t know how the little guy is doing recently. Is he still watching her family ethics drama?

He made an appointment with Hasegawa Riko to meet in advance, and then hung up the phone.

“I don’t know how far the single book sales of ‘Unnatural Death’ will reach this time.”

Higashikata sighed.

This time, "Unnatural Death" can be said to have a very good reputation. The three brothers "Midnight Bell", "Lonely Gourmet" and "Winner is Justice" have no good reputation - there is a special film Promotion of big-budget animated films.

Coupled with the quality of "Unnatural Death", the sales of this single book are really worth looking forward to.

Again, the sales volume of a single volume represents the overall strength of the comic author, and it is not an exaggeration to think of the combat effectiveness in "Dragon Ball".

"It's worth looking forward to." After Higashinoji murmured to himself, he began to look forward to the sales of the single book of "Unnatural Death".

He put down the dip pen, feeling that this was the time to reap the fruits of success.

As the publicity spread, "Midnight Ring" quietly became as popular as "Unnatural Death".

This can be regarded as a spectacle in the industry.

Because both works were written by Higashino Tsukasa.

Reiko Asakawa in "The Ring" left a deep impression on many people. After more than seven months, you are finally scheduled to premiere.

Very good!

The line below the promotional poster quickly took effect. Many fans of "The Ring" or people who had only heard of "The Ring" were a little surprised when they saw the name "Unnatural Death" --What? Are "Unnatural Death" and "The Ring" written by the same author?

A considerable number of people read comics and only read the content without looking at the author's name, which is quite normal.

No matter what, the expected publicity effect has been achieved, and many people have expressed that they will definitely support "The Ring" and buy a copy of "Unnatural Death".

In this way, time gradually passed, and Saturday's premiere of "The Ring" arrived as scheduled.

"Is this supposed to be okay? Aji?" Konoe Ryoka next to her had light makeup on her face and was a little unsure about what was going to happen next.

Her high status as the girlfriend of the main creative team's script put pressure on her inexplicably.

Naturally, Higashinoji next to him didn't care much.

As the original author and creative team member of "The Ring", as long as he is not wearing fancy clothes, he can wear any clothes without any problem, even if he wears slightly looser clothes, it will not be a big problem.

On the other hand, the three of them, Yumi Takahashi, were particularly honest today. Even Yumi Takahashi, who was usually the most out-of-the-box, was excitedly watching the situation in the cinema and talking softly to Aoi Fujiwara next to them.

good.

Although these little girls are usually noisy, they are still very calm and behave in key places.

While they were looking around at the situation, Riko Hasegawa, who Higashino had been waiting for, also held her sister's hand and hurriedly ran out of the theater promotion hall; "Teacher Higashino, good evening."

She placed her palms on her lower abdomen and bowed respectfully to Higashinoji.

"Good evening, Ms. Hasegawa." Higashinoji nodded with a smile, and at the same time glanced at her dress, which was similar to Reiko Asakawa's in the movie.

The other party was going to greet some industry guests in front of the theater today, and Higashinoji continued to speak: "Miss Hasegawa, please don't pay attention to me, go back quickly, let me take care of Sachiko."

"Ah, okay." Hasegawa Riko also understood the meaning of Higashinoji's words, so she nodded shyly, and then told Hasegawa Sachiko not to cause trouble to Higashinoji, and then directed at Takahashi Yumi, Konoe Ryoka and the others. He smiled, then turned around and immediately returned to the set.

Sachiko Hasegawa, who was left next to Higashinoji, was stunned. She raised her head and looked at the three girls standing behind Higashinoji, and couldn't help but stretch out her fingers to count.

1, 2, 3

What? The handsome eldest brother already has three girlfriends?

A look of despair appeared on her little face for a moment. At the same time, she stretched out her hand to pull Higashinoji's sleeve and raised her head pitifully: "Good-looking big brother, does my sister still have a chance to be the fourth child?"

As soon as Hasegawa Sachiko said these words, Fujiwara Aoi, who was drinking Coke, couldn't help but spit out a mouthful. At the same time, Konoe Ryoka also looked over with a look of disbelief——

How does this little guy talk?

Faced with Sachiko Hasegawa's childlike remarks, Yumi Takahashi thought very carefully and replied: "No, if your sister wants to be the second child, she will be the second child. Teacher Higashino's girlfriend has very big breasts here." Girls, Mr. Higashino doesn’t like me and Aoi at all.”

"Really?" Hasegawa Sachiko's eyes suddenly lit up.

She originally thought that her sister could only be the fourth child, but she didn't expect to be the second child. What an unexpected surprise! I'll tell my sister right away and make her happy too!

But my good-looking brother likes those with big breasts? That sister is short and short, but she is indeed quite big.

Sachiko Hasegawa was lost in thought, and Yumi Takahashi who was next to her obviously wanted to speak, but before she could wait, Tonoji slapped her directly on the back of the head without mercy.

If you let this guy continue talking, your reputation will be in danger.

Shen Ta Ma Lao Er, having a Konoe Ryoka is almost enough. Also, didn't you see that Konoe Ryoka next to you believed your lies and looked like she was about to cry?

His slap made Takahashi Yumi hold her head and scream in pain, and she did not dare to continue talking.

And there is Sachiko Hasegawa.

It seems that the exercise book last time could not satisfy this little guy. She actually still has time to watch those messy family ethics TV series.

After thinking about it, Tonoji found out several bookstores that had always cooperated with Urashima Publishing House. After a friendly exchange, he kindly ordered a box of reference books for Sachiko Hasegawa as a condolence gift.

Sachiko Hasegawa couldn't understand what Higashinoji was saying on the other side of the phone, she just held his hand and smiled cheerfully, not knowing at all what kind of cruel things were about to happen next.

After settling all these matters, Tonoji also put down his mobile phone, smiled and said hello to Takahashi Yumi and the others beside him, and walked to the cinema.

As the main creator and the original author of "The Ring", of course many reporters came to interview him.

Faced with their problems, Higashinoji, like some previous industry insiders, smiled and said some superficial words, and simply got through.

During this interview, Higashinoji fully understood that Japanese women are indeed at a disadvantage.

Looking carefully, except for Sachiko Hasegawa who was holding his hand, the other Yumi Takahashi and Ryoka Konoe consciously kept half a body behind him.

Being slightly behind is not a problem, but being half as far behind is a bit exaggerated.

This phenomenon is relatively common in Japan. Even Takahashi Yumi, who is usually carefree, tried to keep her expression serious at this time, with a slight smile on her lips.

It wasn't until Higashino took them through the circle of reporters that Takahashi Yumi exhaled: "Oh, I was so nervous just now. Being a celebrity is too tiring, right?"

"Didn't you always have a dream of being famous?" Fujiwara Aoi mocked her.

"But this is too tiring, as if I have to ask you what color underwear you wore today." Takahashi Yumi scratched her hair, glanced at Konoe Ryoka on the other side, and said with a smile: "Lianghua's performance just now was too good."

Konoe Ryoka, who was following Higashinoji just now, was the one who attracted the most attention. When facing the reporter's camera just now, it can be said that she didn't show any timidity at all. She also raised her head and held her chest high, with a confident smile on her lips. It tastes very much like Yamato Nadeshiko.

This made Takahashi Yumi very surprised. You should know that Konoe Ryoka is usually the most afraid of strangers. Occasionally she would like to leave more than ten meters away when interacting with boys. How come she is so comfortable in the environment just now?

"I, I'm very nervous." A slight blush appeared on Konoe Ryoka's pink cheeks, and she took a deep breath before answering in a low voice: "But I can't embarrass Asa."

yes

It was because of Higashinoji that she could muster up a little courage. Otherwise, in the situation just now, she would have been so stressed that she would have fainted on the spot.

"I understand! Is this the power of love?" Takahashi Yumi raised her hand.

Well--

Konoe Ryoka's cheeks were reddened by her shouting. She glanced around and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that no one was looking over.

"It's almost time to enter." Higashinoji was listening to her exchange with Konoe Ryoka. He didn't say much, but looked at the time and reminded her.

He is actually a little curious about what the finished film of "The Ring" will look like.

Although he is responsible for the original paintings and scripts, Honda Nabuhiro and others are responsible for the production, and now we can just take a look at the specific quality.

The four of them quickly entered the room and sat down with Sachiko Hasegawa.

After waiting for about five minutes and everyone had entered, the "Midnight Ring" animated movie started.

The specific plot of "Midnight Ring" naturally does not need to be elaborated. What Higashino wanted to see was the specific performance of the voice actors, storyboards, soundtracks, and special effects.

"Maybe we shouldn't have given birth to Yosuke in the first place."

"Stop talking!"

"Did you do it?! Sadako!"

"stop!"

"Are you giving up here?! What should Yosuke do?"

"Why did this happen? Why did Ryuji die? Is it a problem with the copied videotape?"

"Hey dad, I'm bringing Yosuke here right now. Yes, there are some things I hope you can see."

Under a dull and gloomy dubbing, dark clouds floated on the long road, showing a bad omen.

The entire Ring movie is over.

Recalling the performance of the "Midnight Ring" animated movie just now, Higashino squinted his eyes and gave it a nine-point rating without hesitation.

It's really good.

The power went out from 5 o'clock this morning to 8:30, and I was really sick.
