Tokyo life starting with painting

In the busyness, another month passed in a hurry.

It has to be said that these two months have also become the most unforgettable two months since Shanxia Qianxia joined the company.

The first is status relationship.

After repeatedly checking the original paintings submitted by her and the other two apprentices, Higashino opened a backdoor for her, announced to the original painting team that she was capable enough to become an original artist, and took the initiative to give her the title of 'apprentice' head.

But to be honest, just taking off the title of apprentice is nothing to Yamayama Chinatsu. More importantly, Higashinoji has increased her salary.

This is the most realistic thing, and it is also what Shanxia Qianxia cares about most.

The increase in salary suddenly made her tight money a lot easier. She had to send one-half of her salary to her family every month. Now she can send two-fifths, about 150,000 yen, and the remaining Keep the money for yourself, and you can buy some cosmetics to dress up with the extra money. This is also very important at work.

Yamayama Chinatsu is also very grateful to Higashinoji, who is actually willing to give her a salary increase for a newcomer in the workplace.

You know, in Japan, newcomers to the workplace like her have always been squeezed. Firstly, it is because they are dispensable to the company, and secondly, it is because of Japan’s senior class system.

This is especially true in the animation production industry. Drawing original paintings is inherently a thankless task. When encountering unscrupulous senior colleagues, most of the heavy-duty work will be pushed onto the apprentices. This means that apprentices like her, who are original painters, cannot guarantee a living. , and cannot guarantee reasonable treatment at work.

There have been several talk shows in Japan over the years about the treatment of newcomers to animation production. When I went there, I found that these people didn’t even have a decent home. Most of them lived in a single room and had to go to a bathhouse to take a shower. kind

This is also the reason why Chinatsu Yamayama felt that Higashinoji wanted them to take the blame when he came to them. After all, it was not normal to find an apprentice as his deputy.

At that time, Shanxia Chinatsu was still complaining from the bottom of her heart, feeling that this time it was absolutely terrible and she couldn't even get her apprentice's salary. Unexpectedly, Higashinoji really didn't want her to take the blame, but instead taught her seriously about the original painting, and even increased her salary.

Now she doesn't have to call home like she did before,

The more she got to know Higashinoji, the more Chikayama felt that he was a bit unfathomable. For example, when she was drawing "Unnatural Death", she would glance at him from time to time, only to find that he didn't even have to stop drawing the manga. , as if the plot is in his mind, and he can draw exquisite original drawings at will.

This terrifying plot creation ability surprised Chinatsu Yamayama for a long time, and she even secretly asked Higashinoji if he had any tricks.

To this, Tonoji just laughed and replied, "It's just in my head, it doesn't matter how I conceive it, so I can draw it casually." ’

This pretense is really fresh and refined. Although Shanxia Qianxia doesn’t understand it, she still thinks it’s very powerful.

In addition to this, Yamayama Chinatsu, the deputy, also discovered a lot of things that were wrong.

For example, sister Hasegawa Riko, who is responsible for the dubbing of Machiko Dai. This sister is very beautiful, has a very infectious voice, is pure and shy, and is very polite in her movements. It can be seen that she has a good family tradition.

But this kind of person would always sit on the sofa behind Tonoji during the break after dubbing, and look at his back while drinking water. If there was no story in it, Chinatsu Yamayama would definitely Don't believe it.

But if this all has a story, what about Higashinoji and Hosokawa Koharu? This editor from Urashima Publishing has been helping Higashino Studio.

I don't understand, I really don't understand.

Mountain Chinatsu felt more and more unable to understand Higashinoji - but Higashinoji on the other hand seemed to understand her completely.

Higashinoji knew that sometimes she would spend more time eating, so he happily asked her if her appetite had been bad recently, and her eating speed had visibly slowed down.

This made Shanxia Qianxia immediately put aside her laziness and concentrate on her work.

This feeling of being seen through made her a little confused, and she didn't know where she was exposed.

But when she came back to her senses, Shanxia Chinatsu realized that something was wrong with her state. Why was she becoming more and more afraid of Higashinoji.

In the past, although she bowed her head and spoke respectfully to Higashinoji, it was entirely due to work reasons. Higashinoji was her immediate boss, and there was nothing wrong with her doing so. But now, when Higashinoji just smiled at her, she always felt like she was He was about to be "hidden in his smile" by Higashinoji, so he hurriedly lowered his head to work, not even daring to say more.

The change was so fast that she couldn't even accept it.

She couldn't accept it and there was nothing she could do about it. She still had to work under Higashinoji.

The scariest thing is that she feels more and more that her way of thinking is more like Higashinoji's. She will buy a copy of Higashinoji's new comics when she sees them on the street. Of course, she will also buy a CD of Higashinoji's new songs. Even her original painting style is similar to Higashinoji's. Under his guidance, he slowly changed.

He really looked like Higashinoji.

Whenever she sees Higashikata smiling, her heart tightens and her head hurriedly lowers her head. Is this the 'coercion' of a national comic book author? How terrifying!

The only thing that gave Yamayama Chinatsu some comfort was that not only her, but also other people in the studio had obviously changed. Many people were willing to ask Higashinoji some questions. Before, a large number of people felt that he was too young, so they had to They were more or less unable to accept being criticized by Higashinoji at such a young age.

But now, they have also changed into the shape of Higashinoji, and the entire Higashiye Studio has changed a lot because of this.

It has to be said that leadership is indeed an important reason for changing the look of a studio.

Even Yano Ryuichi, who looked handsome to Chinatsu Yamayama at the time, seems to be losing his hair recently. His hair has decreased a lot.

While Shanxia Qianxia was still thinking wildly, Higashinoji put down the pencil in his hand, picked up the mineral water next to the workbench, took a sip, and exhaled comfortably.

His relieved look naturally attracted the attention of Shanxia Qianxia, ​​so she asked in a low voice: "Teacher Higashino, what's wrong? Is there anything you need my help with?"

"It's nothing." Higashino put down the water bottle and explained with a smile: "It's just that the promotional video (PV) of "The Winner is Justice" will be released soon, so I'm a little emotional."

With the release of the promotional video, the production of "The Winner Is Justice" is actually equivalent to entering the second half of the process, and the next step is no longer his responsibility as an animation supervisor. The intense work is over, and Higashinoji is of course a little emotional.

He smiled and looked at Shanxia Qianxia: "Thank you for your hard work these two months."

Higashinoji said these words from the bottom of his heart.

Even if he had experience in teaching people to draw, it would be impossible to raise Chinatsu Yamayama to a level where she could stand alone in two months, unless she taught him step by step. Chinatsu Yamayama had worked hard, so Higashinoji felt she could afford it. The phrase 'Thank you for your hard work'.

However, Chinatsu Yamayama clearly shrank back because she found Higashikata squinting and smiling at her - this was a danger signal in Higashino's studio. As long as Higashinoji squinted and smiled, someone would definitely get into trouble.

What's wrong? Could it be that he didn't listen to Teacher Higashino and bought him coffee last time, which made him angry? No way? Teacher Higashino shouldn't be so petty, right? But if that's not the case, then what is it?

Did he accidentally say something like Mr. Higashino sometimes when we went to a dinner party last time?

As she thought about it, she felt more and more something was wrong. Even though the air conditioning was on in the studio, cold sweat couldn't stop flowing down her face.

This made Tonoji look strange. I didn't just say, "Thank you for your hard work," and I didn't mean to eat you. Why are you so nervous all of a sudden? Still sweating on your face?

"Are you feeling a little unwell?" Higashinoji asked anyway.

He is not a devil, the kind who really wants a person to spin around without even caring about his body.

"No, it's nothing. Ahem." Shanxia Qianxia hurriedly shook her head, indicating that this was not the case. Then she looked at her secretly again and again and found that the other party did not mean to eat her as a side dish, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

But the promotional video is released

"This is really a good thing. It's not in vain, Mr. Tono, you have worked so hard for so long." Chinatsu Shanshan sighed.

She could almost imagine the surprised expressions of those industry companies after the promotional video for "The Winner Is Justice" was uploaded. Not last time, a magazine also made a promise, saying that if "The Winner Is Justice" is produced, then Just shave their heads for everyone? Now it seems that I have a chance to see it.

Chinatsu Yamayama is an employee of Higashino Studio after all. Of course, she doesn't want to see others slander Higashino Studio, so she is always observing some comments on the Internet.

This is her habit.

Anyway, there is a computer next to the workbench, so it’s useless if you don’t use it.

"It's our joint efforts. The next step is to wait for the feedback results tomorrow." Tonoji sorted out the things at hand. He also wanted to confirm the specific situation of the promotional video. He couldn't make any mistakes at this last moment. .

After a few more pleasantries with Shanxia Qianxia, ​​he stood up and left.

As for Chinatsu Yamayama on the other side, she didn't just leave work and leave. Instead, she turned on the computer and glanced at the official website of Higashino Studio.

Although it is said to be an official website, this thing is actually a casually made homepage, which is very crude.

After all, Higashinoji put most of his energy into the production of "The Winner is Justice", and the official website did not take care of this aspect.

However, this is Higashino Studio's only communication channel with the outside world at present, and it must be renovated and remade, so Chinatsu Yamayama doesn't care whether this thing is crude or something else.

Following her usual habit, she started browsing some of the comments in the comment section below the official website of Dongye Studio.

When I met those users who maliciously smeared Higashino, I took the initiative to open a small account and rolled up my sleeves to fight with them for 300 rounds.

Anyway, her finishing work is almost finished now. At most, she will modify the original painting during production. In other words, she has plenty of time to be a keyboard warrior and start her killing spree on the Internet.

Yamayama Chinatsu is a kind of girl who is quite clever. Sometimes her words can be very heartbreaking. Even if she doesn't say some dirty words, she is just a bit weird, and ordinary sunspots can't defeat her at all.

This is also a good way for Shanxia Qianxia to vent her stress. Anyway, the Internet environment is about freedom of speech.

However, Higashino Studio itself is not very popular without Higashinoji taking the initiative to promote it. Basically, there are only seven or eight posts in the comment area below a day. Some of them express their desire to see "The Winner is Justice" as soon as possible, and others Some of them hoped that Higashinoji could give up comics and pursue a career as a singer. Only a few people, one or two, came to express doubts or even ridicule.

But today's situation seemed to be different. There were five people who deliberately provoked trouble.

Of course Chinatsu Yamayama did not hesitate. She rolled up her sleeves and started her journey as a keyboard hero, and she quickly became addicted to it.

Until about seven o'clock in the evening, she was still obsessed with fighting on the keyboard, and she didn't react until she heard Higashinoji's somewhat surprised voice.

"What are you doing opening a webpage? Huh?" Higashino glanced at her computer screen. After seeing the content clearly, a funny look appeared on his face.

Originally, he thought that this guy stayed here to consciously work overtime for an hour, but who knew that this guy actually became a keyboard warrior here and became popular on the Internet.

Moreover, Higashinoji glanced over and found that Shanxia Chinatsu's words were so sharp that they were like knives piercing the flesh. He was so angry that the keyboard warriors who were obviously here to cause trouble made a lot of wrong hyphens.

Especially Shanxia Chinatsu's honest tone. If she hadn't been a purebred Japanese, Tonoji would have thought that this guy was a yin and yang guy from the Celestial Empire.

Seeing Higashinoji laughing, Shanxia Qianxia next to her noticed something was wrong. She swallowed, then shrank her head, not daring to say a word.

"Okay, go home quickly, Miss Chinatsu." Tonoji closed the webpage with a bit of fun, and reminded: "It's not safe for you, a girl, to go home too late. I remember you live near Adachi Ward, right? The local security is not very good.”

"Huh?" Yamayama Chinatsu, who was already prepared to be scolded, was stunned after hearing Higashinoji's words.

She had no idea that Touyesi would let her go like this. She originally thought she would be scolded.

Looking at her face, Higashikata understood what this guy was thinking, so he waved his hand: "Okay, I usually don't mean to scold you when I scold you, I just want to be strict with you, and you are also Only for Tono Studio”

Higashinoji didn't say the novel word "keyboard warrior", he just smiled and waved his hand, gesturing for her to go home quickly.

After all, he is more concerned about the reputation of the upcoming promotional video "The Winner Is Justice" than Chinatsu Yamayama's role as a keyboard warrior.
