Tokyo life starting with painting

Chapter 264 Then why are you so confused (4000 words)

The atmosphere in the production team of "The Winner Is Justice" was a bit heavy, and many people were silent and did not speak.

This atmosphere can be said to be heavier than when Higashino played table tennis and pushed them to the ground and rubbed them back and forth.

Yamayama Chinatsu also felt the heaviness of the current atmosphere. She was always cunning and didn't even dare to raise her head to look at Higashinoji's current expression, for fear that she would find Higashinoji looking at her when she looked up.

The results of "Winner is Justice" are indeed quite ordinary, with 1.5 million sales on the first day, which is much lower than the previous expectations of Tono Studio. If it is an ordinary animation, the results are quite acceptable and acceptable. But "The Winner Is Justice" is different. This is the work of Higashino Tsukasa, and each episode can be said to be a large-scale production, with a production budget of more than 20 million yen. However, it achieved such ordinary results.

Mountain Chinatsu also understands this.

Don’t look at the 1.5W disc sales of “The Righteous” on its first day, which seems to be very good. But as mentioned before, Japanese animation Blu-ray discs are prepared for senior core fans, and most of this audience will If you buy the Blu-ray disc of "The Winner Is Right" as soon as possible, as time goes by, the number of disc sales will only explode.

Especially in 2004, when newspapers and television were still the mainstream media, getting only this result can only be said to be average.

The employee situation at Higashino Studio is bleak, and everyone is more or less depressed.

Sitting in the main seat, Higashinoji calmly observed the sales comparison of Blu-ray discs between "The Winner is Justice" and several other companies.

MIC Animation Production Company, which was the first to show off its sword, sold 1.3 million copies of "Takagi-kun Next Door" on its first day. This result is very good for them. After all, competition is fierce in October, and they are not like Tono Studio who has made such a big hit. investment, so it is completely acceptable.

The performance of Westport Pictures, which was strapped for funds, was mediocre, with first-day sales only reaching 9,000 copies. There were too many high-quality animations in October, and they were mistakenly killed.

The veteran Kawaguchi Studio showed its heritage at this moment, with sales reaching 1.98W copies on the first day.

In addition, what Higashinoji didn't expect was that Asuka Club, which he had not paid much attention to before, had unexpectedly reached the sales threshold of 1.6W copies.

It has to be said that there are indeed many macho men in Japan, and many of them actually pay for Lily's animations.

Tonoji compared several companies in the same period, raised his eyebrows, and probably had the answer in his heart.

He had also spoken highly of "The Winner is Justice" before, but he did not take into account that the current Dongye Studio is just a small animation production studio that has just started, which can be said to be a workshop at worst.

Even with Higashinoji's name on it, the number of loyal fans is still lacking compared to these established animation production companies.

Even Higashinoji's group of manga fans will definitely hesitate when faced with a Blu-ray disc that costs up to 5,000 yen.

Higashinoji can understand this.

He was thinking here, and it took him a few minutes to come back to his senses.

"Teacher Higashino, do you have anything to say?" Yano Ryuichi asked quietly from the side.

After hearing Yano Ryuichi's question, the others raised their heads before Higashinoji. Each of them looked at Higashinoji's face more or less.

Feeling their gazes, Higashino raised his head, squinted his eyes and smiled comfortingly at them.

But his narrowed eyes and smile chilled the hearts of many people present.

Whether he was scolding the original artist for his lack of seriousness, or when he was crushing and ravaging others while playing table tennis, Higashino always smiled like this. Now he was laughing again because he wanted to kill someone?

"Don't worry, everyone, this situation is actually what I expected." Higashinoji said with a smile: "Our studio has just started, and it is normal for there to be a gap between us and other animation production companies. 1.5W pieces The disc sales are already pretty good. Besides, this is just the beginning, and it doesn’t mean that our future results will always be like this."

Most of these words were words of comfort, including what Higashinoji said, "I expected the situation." He did not expect this situation at all.

But at this time, as the backbone of Dongye Studio and the absolute leader, he naturally cannot shake the military morale.

Hearing his words, the atmosphere in Dongye's studio suddenly became much more relaxed, and many people quietly breathed a sigh of relief while waiting for him to continue speaking.

"It's already great to achieve this result at the beginning of the season, at least that's what I think. Likewise, I'm also confident in the future development and sales of "The Winner is Justice."" Higashinoji continued: "But still Aren’t you confident about the finished film of “The Victor Is Justified”?”

Everyone shook their heads after hearing this. "The Winner is Justice" is very well-produced. Even Kawaguchi Studio's "Guns \u0026 Fire", which has the highest disc sales, cannot have the production quality of "The Winner is the Justice". .

"In that case, it's better to calm down and observe the next development. There's not much use in being downcast now." Higashino knocked on the table and said with a smile.

This is indeed true.

Things have already happened, and there is no point in being dejected and lost.

"It's okay if the situation is a little bad. When I first took over "The Righteous", the situation was much worse than it is now. Most people thought it was impossible for us to produce "The Righteous", but We have overcome all these difficulties, so winning the Animation Season Championship is definitely not a problem.”

Higashinoji's voice is not loud, but people can't help but listen to it. Maybe he is someone who can sing. His voice is so nice and clear.

And if these few words were placed elsewhere, it might just be pure chicken soup for the soul, but it is completely different when placed in Higashino Studio. Originally Higashino Studio was composed of the original PW Animation Production Company, and the employees here did follow Thanks to Higashikata, Higashikata has overcome many difficulties.

These words really struck a chord in their hearts - now let them give up? That’s impossible just thinking about it!

The employees below are energetic again.

As the pillar of Higashino Studio, Higashinoji's sea-fixing needle did not fluctuate at all, and the employees below naturally regained their emotional stability.

Next to him, Yano Ryuichi glanced at Higashinoji from time to time and felt that this young man was indeed amazing.

At least he is not as popular as Higashinoji in the studio now.

The sales analysis meeting ended quickly.

In fact, there is no analysis. After all, "The Winner is Right" has been polished perfectly in every aspect. If you want to find problems, you have already picked them out.

On the other side, Higashinoji, who asked them to return to their posts, took a sip of water.

As he said, he is very confident in "The Winner is Justice". After all, when comparing horizontally, it is true that no company's production quality is higher than that of "The Winner is the Justice". That's why the animation is so good. Unlike TV dramas, good or bad can be seen at a glance.

Moreover, Higashinoji also read some reviews on the Internet.

"The Winner Is Justified" mostly received positive reviews, with few negative reviews. There is absolutely no problem with the quality of the series, so the problem probably lies in the reputation of Tono Studio.

After all, Tono Studio doesn't even have a decent official website, and it looks shabby. The things produced by such an animation studio that few people know about are certainly not as good as those of several other animation production companies.

Thinking of this, Higashinoji's mind became much more active, and he felt that it was not a big problem for him to predict that it would take two or three more episodes of "The Winner is Right" to play the Blu-ray disc before the sales of the Blu-ray disc would start to gradually increase.

That's probably the time to show off your sword.

As for some people who may say that Higashinoji is a bit arrogant, and his current achievements are generally so blindly confident in the subsequent development. But Higashinoji thinks it is nothing. He is a serious professional painter, and those who engage in art must have confidence. If he continues to If you no longer have confidence in your own work, then why do you still engage in art?

He has a good attitude, and he doesn't act like the employees in the studio are like the end of the world just because of this.

But before he could take a breath, Hosokawa Koharu called.

"Teacher Higashino, the sales performance of the first volume of "The Winner Is Justice" was average. Is this true?"

Hosokawa Koharu on the other side of the phone sounded concerned.

"It's indeed an average score." Higashinoji didn't show off and directly presented the result to Hosokawa Koharu.

"Really?" Hosokawa Koharu on the other end of the phone looked hesitant.

In her mind, this was probably the first time Tonoji had failed since his debut, right? I don’t know what Higashinoji’s current state of mind is.

In short, it is always right to give some comfort first.

Hosokawa Koharu groaned, and was about to speak to comfort him, but was directly interrupted by Higashinoji.

Higashinoji on the phone actually took the initiative to comfort her:

"I'm sorry, Editor Hosokawa, you helped me a lot this time on "The Victor is Justified". Not only did you hire the original animator but also the supervisor. It can be said that the successful production of "The Winner Is Justified" was made possible by Hosokawa. The editor deserves a lot of credit, but the sales results on the first day were not very good. You must be a little disappointed, right? But it doesn't matter."

"Huh?" Listening to Higashinoji's words, Hosokawa Koharu took the initiative to open his mouth.

No, I'm here to comfort you? Why do you want to comfort me in turn?

"No. Teacher Dongye, I have full confidence in you, Mr. Dongye."

"I know what you want to say, Editor Hosokawa, but I hope you can have some confidence in me. The final result of "The Winner is Justice" will definitely not disappoint you."

"No. I know, I'm not disappointed."

Hosokawa Koharu was dumbfounded. What she wanted to say was directly preceded by Higashinoji. She originally came to comfort Higashinoji, but he was comforted by him in turn.

What the hell is this?

She hurriedly adjusted her pace, preparing to show that she would always support Higashinoji.

"Don't worry, I can see Editor Hosokawa's support for me, and I will counterattack next."

Uh-huh.

Teacher Dongye, you have such a good attitude.

Listening to Higashinoji's extremely confident voice, all Hosokawa Koharu's words of comfort disappeared - Higashinoji was so confident, if she said anything more, wouldn't it mean that she had no confidence in Higashinoji?

So Hosokawa Koharu nodded in confusion. She originally came to comfort Higashinoji, but in turn, Higashinoji held her down and drank a wave of chicken soup for the soul: "Then I will wait for your good news, Mr. Higashino."

The two chatted for a while, and then Hosokawa Koharu took the initiative to hang up the phone.

It's just that Hosokawa Koharu here has just hung up the phone, and Hasegawa Riko on the other end also took the initiative to call.

This made Touyesi really dumbfounded.

Why are you calling yourself now? Are you such a psychologically fragile person?

He was a little funny, but considering that Riko Hasegawa also came to care about him, he took the initiative to answer the phone.

But while answering the phone, he spoke without hesitation: "Ms. Hasegawa, I am in a good state of mind now and have no intention of seeking death or survival. The situation of "The Winner is Justice" is good, and it is not as bad as the outside said. It seemed like the sky was falling."

Higashinoji paused and continued: "Similarly, you don't have to worry about the sales of "The Winner is Justice". Your dubbing is already perfect. Well, I've finished my words. Is there anything wrong with Ms. Hasegawa? ?”

"Huh? Oh, it seems gone." Hasegawa Riko was stunned by Higashinoji's combination of punches. When she heard the other party's question, she subconsciously responded.

Just as Higashinoji said, she did come to comfort him. She was also a little worried about whether there was a problem with her dubbing, which led to the current poor situation of "The Winner is Justice"

Unexpectedly, before she even opened her mouth, Higashi Yesi had blocked everything she wanted to say and even comforted her in turn.

Hasegawa Riko scratched her head. Next to her, Mizuguchi Kouko turned her face sideways and asked curiously: "How is it? What did Mr. Higashino say?"

Mizuguchi didn't think there was any need to call Higashinoji. After all, she felt that her dubbing was not a big problem, and the option of apologizing basically didn't exist.

But she couldn't persuade the stubborn donkey Hasegawa Riko - she insisted on calling Higashinoji to express her apology.

And judging from the results, it seems that Hasegawa Riko is still deflated?

This made Mizukou Xiangzi a little incomprehensible.

Could it be that Higashinoji showed his displeasure to Hasegawa Riko because of the poor performance of "The Winner is Justified"?

That won't be the case, right?

Mizukiko couldn't bear this anymore. Hasegawa Riko was one of the few friends she could talk to. Since Riko had been wronged, she couldn't just sit idly by and ignore it.

So she couldn't help but ask from the side: "Is Teacher Higashino's attitude bad?"

"No. The attitude is very good." Hasegawa Riko had hung up the phone at this time. When she heard Mizuguchi asked, she replied stupidly.

Um? Good attitude?

"Did Mr. Higashino make things difficult for you? Did he blame you for poor sales?"

"No. Mr. Higashino is not that kind of person."

Hasegawa Riko shook her head again, and then whispered: "I feel like he is such a good person."

ah?

Mizukou Xiangzi's face was full of confusion.

Are they too nice?

Then why do you still look confused?
