Tokyo life starting with painting

Chapter 242: Humanoid printers really exist (8,000 words)

Whether Higashinoji has the idea of ​​taking over "The Winner is Justice" is something Yano Ryuichi has been thinking about.

If possible, he is actually not willing to give up the production of "The Winner Is Justice". After all, he has put in so much. If he just gives up like this, he will naturally feel a little aggrieved. It feels like all their previous efforts have been lost. It feels like working for free.

But no matter what, in the end, it will still be Higashinoji, the president at that time, who will make the decision.

No matter what Yano Ryuichi thought about below, it had no effect.

"It's better not to push too far." Yano Ryuichi sighed and decided to give up the plan to continue the production of "The Winner is Justice" to Higashinoji.

Yes, Higashinoji has already treated them like this, and he, Yano Ryuichi, is too embarrassed to drag the other party into the mud again.

As for Higashinoji, is he also considering the production of "The Winner is Justice"?

This is a joke.

Relying on Yano Ryuichi's seven or eight years of mature animation production experience, he felt that Higashinoji would definitely let go of the production of "The Winner is Justice" or postpone the production.

The most important thing now is to sort out the mess of PW Animation Production Company, and what needs to be done to find a new studio location.

Thinking of this, Yano Ryuichi touched the various documents around him.

These are book-like documents for the transfer of PW Animation Production Company. They are basically signed and stamped by Chiwa Ohnuki.

This may seem like Higashino taking advantage of the situation, but in fact, for Onuki Chiwa, this is simply a timely blessing.

She simply has no ability to repay the huge debt, so handing over the messy PW Animation Production Company to Higashinoji is her best choice. In addition, Higashinoji acquired PW Animation Production Company through formal procedures, and it was not for nothing. Gloves White Wolf.

In this way, Chiwa Ohnuki can get another sum of money.

For the current Okanuki family, this is simply more important than timely rain.

After Onuki Yuuto passed away, it was basically impossible for Chi and Onuki, a full-time housewife, to help Onuki Toshiki grow up. With Higashinoji's money, she could support Onuki Toshiki at least a little. Finished college.

So Onuki Chiwa is really very grateful to Higashinoji, feeling that he really helped her a lot.

Next to him, Toshiki Onuki also raised his head and said that when he grows up, he will definitely work in Higashinoji's studio to help Mr. Higashino.

There were too many things to be grateful for. Yano Ryuichi took a deep breath, but he didn't know where to start.

Just when he was about to sort out his mood, the welcome bell in the cafe rang, and Higashinoji arrived.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Yano, have you been waiting for a long time?" Higashino sat down, ordered a cup of mixed coffee and looked at Yano Ryuichi.

Higashinoji has been recording the show for two days and just received a call from Ryuichi Yano.

The other party seems to have made up his mind and wants to talk to him.

"Nothing, I actually just arrived." Yano Ryuichi replied with a smile, which made the waiter at the cafe bar next to him look at him inexplicably - Yano Ryuichi was here an hour ago While sitting down, I had to refill my coffee four times. Is this just the moment?

People nowadays really like to tell lies with their eyes open more and more.

But he didn't say much, he just served Higashinoji coffee and left.

The conversation didn't officially begin until Higashino took a sip of coffee.

"Teacher Higashino, here are the specific requirements for our employees who are willing to stay and work in your studio."

Yano Ryuichi took out a document and handed it to Higashinoji, his expression looked a little nervous.

He was afraid that the great master Higashinoji would suddenly repent and abandon their PW Animation Production Company.

This is like two parties at work. Party B is always in a weak position.

Yano Ryuichi's performance was of course caught in Higashinoji's eyes. He just smiled at it, said nothing more, and started reading line by line.

Most of the conditions on this document are reasonable.

For example, I want to maintain the benefits I received while working at PW Animation Production Company, and hope to have a good working environment.

These requirements are quite natural. After reading this, Higashinoji nodded and said with a smile: "I understand, Mr. Yano, just follow the above, but your treatment will be improved. After all, because of my status, I Because of the relationship, you can’t always stay in the studio.”

"How embarrassing." Yano Ryuu was stunned, then stood up and wanted to refuse.

But before he could say anything, Higashinoji had already waved his hand and said with a smile: "No problem."

"As for the location of the studio, I have already chosen it. It is located at No. 1-4-25, Shimono-cho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo. There is no need to decorate. You can just move in the work items you need and start working."

Tonoji smiled and continued to answer.

".I know, I will definitely try my best to treat this new job." Yano Ryuichi did not expect that Higashinoji would take such good care of him, and his expression was a little touched - although he was an official of the previous dynasty, he was also an official of this dynasty. treat him so kindly

His moved expression naturally fell into Higashikata's eyes. To this, Higashino just smiled and didn't say anything.

Yano Ryuichi was his chosen tool man. According to his observation, Yano Ryuichi had a very serious and responsible attitude towards his work. His shortcoming was that he had no independent opinions and seemed hesitant and unable to make decisions on many major matters.

But this is exactly what a high-quality tool person and partner should possess.

In addition, there have been a lot of things going on recently, and Yano Ryuichi may be as tired as a donkey during this period. It would be really embarrassing for Higashinoji not to mention his treatment.

Higashinoji continued to flip through it, but as he flipped through it, he felt a little strange, and his eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkle.

This made Yano Ryuichi, who had just made a promise next to him, feel something was wrong.

What's wrong?

Is there something wrong with the contract?

But that’s not right. The above conditions shouldn’t be too excessive, so we didn’t even mention the re-production of “The Winner Is Justified”.

Now that it's been done, isn't Higashikata still dissatisfied?

But after Yano Ryuichi thought about it, he thought it was quite normal.

Higashinoji must be a very strict person towards others and himself, otherwise he wouldn't be able to draw high-quality comics such as "Midnight Ring" and "Unnatural Death". There is nothing wrong with being strict with his subordinates.

On the other side, Higashinoji was flipping through the documents and couldn't see the shadow of "The Winner Is Justice" after reading for a long time.

This result was unexpected for him.

Is it possible that the employees at PW Animation Production Company are unwilling to produce "Winner is Justified" anymore?

This is not possible.

The original team of PW Animation Production Company that Higashino took over also came with the idea that they could produce "Winner is Justice". As a result, both of them had no motivation, which was very difficult to handle.

Thinking of this, Higashino put down the folder and raised his chin: "I'm sorry, Mr. Yano, about the re-production of "The Winner Is Justice"."

"Don't worry, Mr. Higashino! I will persuade my colleagues at PW Animation Production Company to give up the re-production of "The Winner is Justice"." Yano Ryuichi answered decisively.

After answering, he said impassionedly: "I knew Mr. Higashino would mention this. Are you worried that my colleagues will bring up the re-production of "The Winner Is Justice"?"

It's time to show your loyalty.

At this time, you need to show your abilities and make your boss, Higashinoji, believe in you.

"Ah?" Touyesi was stunned when he heard this.

Seeing Higashinoji stunned, Yano Ryuichi's heart skipped a beat. He felt that he should have poked Higashinoji's heart, so he continued:

"Please rest assured, I actually know in my heart how much burden it will put on you, Mr. Higashino, if you bring up the request to re-produce "The Winner Is Justice" at this time, so I will actively persuade them to dissuade them from re-production of "The Winner Is Justice" That’s the unrealistic idea of ​​justice.”

Not you wait.

The more Higashino listened, the more he felt that it was exaggerated. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand to stop Yano Ryuichi from continuing to speak - I want to make "The Winner Is Justice" again, that is my work. You actually want to discourage my employees? No. Are you sure you are not a spy sent by a hostile force? I, a general, haven't surrendered yet, so you brought all my troops to surrender? Isn't this unreasonable?

"Mr. Yano, please wait a moment." After Higashino stopped him, he said calmly: "My attitude is that I want to re-produce "The Winner Is Justice"."

Well?

Yano Ryuichi, who was originally impassioned, was stunned, and then swallowed his saliva, wondering if he heard wrongly: "Teacher Higashino, are you serious?"

"The Winner Is Justified" is a complete mess right now. It would be better to postpone it or give it up directly. There is no way it will come in time in October.

As a result, Higashinoji said that he wanted to make "The Winner is Justice" again?

Yano Ryuichi was still thinking about how to persuade his old friends to give up, but then he heard Higashinoji say this.

""The Winner is Justice" is my work. Isn't it natural for it to be produced by my studio?" Higashinoji waved his hand: "If possible, please Mr. Yano tell the remaining PW bosses about this matter. Employees, let them get involved in the production of "Winner is Right" as soon as possible."

"Ah, okay. I understand." Yano Ryuu nodded, looking a little disappointed.

All the methods he had spent an entire hour thinking of were of no use.

Seeing Yano Ryuichi's expression, Higashino couldn't help but his heart skipped a beat - what's going on? Why is Yano Ryuichi still feeling disappointed? This look really resembles the disappointed expression of a spy who failed to achieve his goal.

Is there really a ghost?

Higashino thought for a while and shook his head. He felt that he was overthinking it. He was just a small studio. How could a spy sneak in before it even opened?

So he smiled and said to Yano Ryuichi: "Then please convey it to Mr. Yano."

"Well, there's no big problem in conveying it. It's just that Mr. Higashino has thought about how to produce "The Winner is Justice"?" Yano Ryuichi quickly put his mind in order and at the same time asked the question that mattered most to him.

Yes.

How does Higashinoji plan to produce "The Winner is Justified"?

Even if it is officially started now, the construction period of "The Winner is Justice" has already lagged behind the construction periods of other animations of the same period. It is simply an impossible task to complete it in time for October.

"I have actually considered this aspect."

Tonoji simply took out the pen and paper from the shoulder bag he brought: "Mr. Yano, could you please look at the time?"

"Ah good."

Yano Ryuichi didn't quite understand what Higashinoji wanted to do, so he nodded and looked sideways at the time: "The current time is eleven twenty-five."

As he spoke, he looked back at Higashikata.

Then--

Something happened that shocked him.

Higashinoji held two pencils in his hand and drew on the blank A4 paper very neatly.

The pen tip of the left hand draws a light arc to form Machiko Dai's short hair, and the pencil of the right hand draws a short arc downward to form half of Machiko Dai's petite face.

Yano Ryuichi knew what Higashinoji was drawing just by looking at it twice.

He is painting the original painting!

The original painting of "The Winner Is Justice"!

The speed of this drawing can no longer be described as fast, it should be said to be amazing.

Yano Ryuichi's eyes widened, as if his gaze was being sucked.

This is not to say that he is making a fuss, he is obviously a person in the industry but he acts like he has never seen the world - it is precisely because he is a well-known painting supervisor in the industry and has seen many painters who draw original paintings at an amazing speed, so he reveals this kind of expression.

The speed with which Higashinoji painted the manuscript can be summed up in five words.

It's simply too exaggerated!

It's really an exaggeration.

The eraser placed next to him was never used at all. The pencil in his hand drew the branch line or curve that Tonoji wanted.

Rather than saying that Higashinoji drew the original painting on paper, it is better to say that the original painting emerged naturally from the surface of the paper.

Higashinoji just painted it so lightly, and a perfect original painting of the argument between Kensuke Komemon and Machiko Dai appeared.

There is no shading, but only lines, which also shows an indescribable three-dimensional effect.

The quality is astonishingly high.

But only fifteen minutes actually passed.

"Uh" Yano Ryuichi was dizzy.

Only then did he think of some previous rumors about Higashino in the industry.

Some people say that Higashinoji didn't hire a manga assistant at all, and he was the only one taking care of the two works.

At that time, Yano Ryuichi expressed disbelief and thought it was simply impossible. After all, a person's energy is limited, and it was basically impossible not to hire a manga assistant to handle details such as shadows or backgrounds.

Do you really think people are printers? Can it run around the clock?

But now I’ve seen Higashinoji’s entire original painting process.

Yano Ryuichi couldn't help but start imagining.

turn out to be

Do humanoid printers really exist in this world?
