Tokyo life starting with painting

Yano Ryuichi was also a little moved by the plan proposed by Higashinoji.

After all, according to the current development, it is basically a certainty that a large number of employees of PW Animation Production Company will lose their jobs. In addition, they do not understand the environment of other animation production companies. They are not given any work, they just do ordinary chores - factionalism within Japanese companies is still very serious.

It is actually a great thing to be able to work with the old employees of the old PW Animation Production Company.

However, Yano Ryuichi did not agree immediately.

This is not a matter for his family. It is also related to the attitude of Onuki Chiwa. If she is willing, then there is no problem in setting up a studio under Higashino Tsukasa - "The Winner is Justice" and they are also I have been doing this for a long time and I don’t want to give up so directly.

This must also be Yuuto Onuki’s last wish.

Of course Higashino respects Yano Ryuichi's ideas.

"If Mr. Yano coordinates well, you can also call my phone number." Higashinoji replied politely to Yano Ryuichi, without urging him, he just paid the money with a smile and turned around to leave.

He does have a desire for the studio, but he is not to the point where he wants Yano Ryuichi to start it immediately. If the other party is really unwilling, Higashino will not force it, but will think of other ways.

After leaving the coffee shop, Higashinoji's steps became much more relaxed.

In this way, the animation aspect of "Winner is Right" is almost settled, and the next step is to continue to focus on the "Unnatural Death" and "Lemon" matters.

Now it seems that there is another "Although our hands are empty" to be added.

This animated short film hit over a million views just a few hours after it was released. It moved countless fans and made people cry. Many people are still commenting below, thinking that this is indeed a heart-warming song. .

At the same time, the names of Higashinoji's "national comic book author" and "music genius" were once again mentioned, causing a lot of discussion.

Even "Although We Have Nothing in Our Hands" was rated as "the most touching 4 minutes and 12 seconds" by the "Tokyo Asahi Shimbun". The "Tokyo Shimbun" with a daily sales of 600,000 copies published a recent Changes in the suicide rate in Japan. It was discovered that in the past few days since "Although There is Nothing in Our Hands" became a hit, the suicide rate in Japan has really dropped.

Reduce the suicide rate. This is a very high praise. If it were any other work, it would have been regarded as praise, but this time, no one said 'no' to "Although We Have Nothing in Our Hands" Character.

Even those newspaper commentators who always had a vicious tongue gave a thumbs up and said 'yes'!

Higashinoji was a little confused at first. He didn't spend any money to operate it, so why was it praised by everyone? No matter how much you think about it, this won't happen.

But after carefully thinking about the reasons, Higashinoji felt that there was indeed a reason. "Although We Have Nothing in Our Hands" gave people a strong sense of resonance. After using his painting skills, the public generally believed that Higashinoji's paintings He is good at acting and singing, so he should be praised - this is the general trend of society.

And those newspapers and magazines also know that everyone likes to read articles that say good things about "Although we have nothing in our hands", so it is basically impossible to publish those articles that say the opposite.

Let's be honest, the song is indeed very nice. This is not bad.

Anyway, just blow it! Whatever people like to see, we will write about it.

So Oura Yukie, who had sang the opposite tune at the beginning, was pulled out again and whipped to death - didn't you say that Higashinoji only had one work? Now that he has released his second piece, you have become deaf-mute again?

Then came the P picture.

This time, the photo of Oura Yukie was placed on the cover of "Although We Have Nothing in Our Hands" above the eyes, with a line below - Higashino only has one work and is not worthy of being called a singer.

The fans of Yukie Oura were so angry that no one could refute him.

It is such a situation that caused "Although We Have Nothing in Our Hands" to be unexpectedly popular, and it directly parachuted to the third place in the Japanese Oricon weekly MV rankings. It feels like no one can beat it.

This song became popular so quickly, and it seems that it is expected to become another new trend after "Lemon", running side by side with "Lemon".

Therefore, many music production companies have begun to study Higashinoji's style.

At this time, "Lemon" is firmly occupying the number one position on the distribution chart. No matter which new song by a powerful singer, it can't dislodge it from the number one position on the weekly chart. Its butt is stable.

On the Oricon Digital Music Distribution Chart, "Lemon" has also reached fourth place, and it has the momentum to stay in the top four. I can see that the first few songs are all tight, and I feel like I am about to be stabbed.

On the other hand, the push for the "Lemon" single CD is getting stronger and stronger, which also makes Tonoji once again have the idea of ​​'setting up a studio'.

If there is a studio, this kind of theme song will be directly made into a soundtrack CD by the studio and sold, and the proceeds will basically go into Tonoji's pocket, and there will be no need to share the royalties with others.

That’s the benefit of a studio.

Having a studio is like having a child with a mother. Most matters can be handled by the mother, and the child does not need to worry about it at all. Everything can be done safely.

Except these.

Higashinoji turned to look at Chihaya Higashino, who was crying while holding his laptop.

"Wow, it's so good." Chihaya Higashino shed tears as she watched the lamb in the animated short enter heaven, and exclaimed: "This ballad is so beautiful."

After saying this, Chihaya Higashino was a little confused again.

here we go again.

I obviously don’t know what the word ballad means, and I’ve never heard it before. Why do words I’ve never heard of keep popping up out of nowhere?

She didn't understand, and she didn't understand. Just watching the animated short film, some blurry pictures gradually flashed through her mind.

These scenes are very familiar, very familiar, but I can't put it in words. It seems to be something from when I was getting along with my mother.

But who is the mother?

Higashino Chihaya was stunned for a while, then turned back to look at Higashinoji, and asked him a little bit incomprehensively: "Aji, where are our parents?"

Hearing Chihaya Higashino's words, Higashinoji, who was observing her from time to time, put down the pen in his hand and smiled at the same time: "Didn't I say it before, they went on a trip."

"But they have been traveling for more than a year. Why haven't they come back yet? I almost forgot about them."

Chihaya Higashino covered her head in annoyance, not understanding why her parents left her to travel with Higashinoji.

The more she thought about it, the more she couldn't figure it out, and finally she patted her head.

never mind! If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. This is her usual way of doing things.

Because she always felt that if she figured it out, some other unpredictable things would happen.

This sense of unknown made Higashino Chihaya a little scared.

But after seeing Higashi Yesi, this fear became much weaker. She ran over to Higashi Yesi and sat down next to him, smiling at him.

Higashinoji took in all these actions of Higashino Chihaya and the confusion on his face, and he became more and more aware.

Judging from the results, this song "Although We Have Nothing in Our Hands" did give Chihaya Higashino some stimulation, and this stimulation was a little greater than "Lemon".

Higashino probably thought that the description of maternal love and bonding made Higashino Chihaya think again.

This made Higashino feel more and more confident, and he also had many more ideas about how to use the trump card "I once thought about finishing it all".

First is the reason.

The death of Higashino's parents was a scar in Higashino Chihaya's heart, and Higashino Chihaya has never been able to face this scar. This is the reason why she became what she is now.

Then comes the solution.

Chihaya Higashino doesn't want to believe that her parents have passed away, so what Higashinoji can do is to help her slowly recall, and finally make her admit that Higashino's parents have passed away - for example, using painting skills to copy some stories about her past meals with her parents, Play around with photos and try if you can use your painting skills to evoke Chihaya Higashino's deepest thoughts.

Finally, it was paired with the trump card "I once thought about it all" to bring Higashino Chihaya back.

This is just a rough plan, it can be regarded as a prototype, and it is much better than the previous situation where the cat was blind and the mouse was caught.

Higashino nodded, then gathered his thoughts and focused his attention on "Unnatural Death" again.

This week's "Unnatural Death" voting statistics show that "Unnatural Death" still maintains a high number of 750 votes. This terrifying number of votes can only be far away from the second place "Unnatural Death" by Akisa Kuromiya. Looking from a distance, it’s hard to catch up.

The average volume sales, which were already approaching a stable level, are slowly continuing to climb with the help of "Although We Have Nothing in Our Hands", and it seems that it is expected to 'climb' to 205 before the book is completed. Average sales volume of 10,000 volumes.

This result has made many comic magazine publishers somewhat speechless.

To be able to achieve such results during the cold winter period of Japanese comics. The author Higashino Tsukasa is indeed a genius.

Under the influence or drive of "Unnatural Death", the Japanese comic market seems to have begun its second spring, and many professional comics and various other types of comics have begun to spring up.

Fuji Publishing House has published a large number of comics on forensic and detective themes, while Iwakaku Publishing House and Moshu Publishing House have published some comics on chef cooking.

The entire comic winter period is slowly passing.

What has brought about a change in the trend is the only phenomenal comic "Unnatural Death" currently being serialized.

Many people lamented that the plot prepared by Higashinoji was very good, with strong coherence and constant foreshadowing. From the beginning, Rokuro Kube entered the Unnatural Death Research Institute as a spy of Weekly News, to later the Nakado Department was obsessed with tracking down traces of goldfish. Serial murderers were foreshadowed from the beginning.

It's not something that Higashinoji suddenly prepared in a flash of inspiration.

This makes the whole comic very coherent. The first few short plots set up the character and foreshadowing, and then the long plot begins, making the whole drama seem non-delayed and very neat.

These comments came to Higashinoji's ears, and Higashinoji actually took them for granted.

After all, the era of "Unnatural Death" was already an era when Japanese drama formats were mature. Small events were first thrown out to establish the characters, and then the long plot ending was released. This is actually a very normal Japanese drama episode arrangement.

It's just refreshing to take it out in this era.

These are probably the things worth paying attention to in "Unnatural Death".

In addition to these, the private high school Higashinoji attends is also worth paying attention to.

Higashinoji has missed a lot of classes this semester (after starting the serialization of "Unnatural Death" in March, Higashinoji rarely goes to school).

It's already June now, and summer vacation will begin in just over a month.

Even Yoshimine Ryuichi couldn't help but call Higashinoji, asking him to show up and become familiar with him, otherwise he wouldn't be able to let Higashinoji advance to the third grade.

The other party spoke very tactfully and did not use any harsh words.

In addition, it is true that Higashinoji did not do it properly - after all, he rarely showed his face. This green light was too obvious, which was not good for the reputation of Kitajuku and Higashinoji.

So Higashinoji also smiled and agreed to Ryuichi Yoshimine, promising to go to Kitajuku within this month to check out the situation and get acquainted with him.

There is no way, it's not that Higashinoji doesn't go to school, but he is really too busy recently, "The Winner is Justice" is being animated, and "The Lonely Gourmet" is being turned into a live-action.

As the original author, Higashino Tsukasa had to have the production team come up with the entire rough script so that the people there could adapt it into animation or live-action, so it ended up like this after dragging it around.

I have finally breathed a sigh of relief recently. Tonoji also misses the little girls and boys in school. It was actually quite good to relax and relax in class in the past.

After all, everything must be relaxed and relaxed. Higashinoji doesn’t want to live another life and have to rush here and there for work. In his last life, when he was a professional painter, he brought a group of apprentices and also worked part-time as a designer. Higashinoji was suspicious of him in his previous life. Did he travel here because of sudden death from overwork?

So, relax if you can.

Thinking of this, Higashino put down the pen in his hand: "Well, let's go to school tomorrow."

You can't be too tired as a human being.

Just when Higashinoji was thinking this.

The cell phone next to him suddenly rang.

Higashinoji glanced at the name of the caller and immediately connected the call when he found out that the caller was Hosokawa Koharu: "Hello? Editor Hosokawa?"

"Ah, is this Mr. Higashino? The publishing house here wants to adapt your "Midnight Ring" and "The Winner is Justice" into novels. Can you come over sometime? It's best to bring you with me. The plot script designed should not be too troublesome.”

In response to her question, Higashinoji, who had just been thinking, "Don't be too tired," immediately became energetic. He stood up and straightened his clothes: "I'll be right over."

As for not being too tired.

Leave this kind of thing behind.

The key now is the issue of comics adapting novels.

Take a rest immediately after finishing the work——
