Tokyo life starting with painting

Chapter 320 Higashinoji is still not satisfied (4000 words)

Hojo Nagayasu couldn't accept it.

Really unacceptable.

He has always felt that he is not far behind Higashino Tsukasa, Kuromiya Meisa, Suzuki Ha, and some leading authors from Shin Iwazuki Publishing House next door.

Even if he is poor, he still feels that he can catch up with his own talent.

but

865 votes to 260 votes, the gap is too big.

The difference is more than three times, how can we fight this?

Not to mention that Hojo Nagayasu's chapter is the climax of the plot, so I feel that it will definitely achieve good results.

As a result, he was beaten badly by Higashinoji on the first appearance, and his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.

Hisaku Ueda did not comment on this result.

He just patted the cigarette box, took out the cigarette, lit it with a sad face, and then handed it to Hojo Changyasu: "Want one?"

"." Hojo Nagayasu.

Hojo Nagayasu glanced at him, took the cigarette in despair, and smoked it.

The two of them smoked cigarettes and were silent for a while.

After a while, Kusaku Ueda, who was smoking a cigarette, suddenly said: "Be optimistic, every newcomer who competes with Mr. Higashino in the same magazine is almost the same as you."

There are always newcomers who do not believe in evil, and there are always newcomers who are stubborn and want to challenge Higashinoji.

As a result, the newcomers who did not believe in evil were quickly taken off the stage with bruises on their noses and faces.

The tough new guy's head was smashed into a frying pan, and he no longer had the same 'iron' energy as before.

This is how Ueda Kusaku came here.

Hojo Nagayasu didn't speak, and just said softly 'hmm'.

For a moment, he was as sad as Ueda Hisaku.

Similarly, he also thought of what Suzuki Yu said before when he left.

Higashinoji is indeed very powerful.

But who would have thought he was so powerful?

Sometimes, if you don’t work hard, you won’t even know how to write the word despair.

Hojo Nagayasu and Ueda Kusaku both fell into autism.

While they were in isolation, Tomishima Publishing House on the other side also announced the votes for the best male and female protagonists in the two magazines "Heshi" and "Chiyo".

The editorial department of New Iwazhu Publishing House will definitely not use the data of Tomishima Publishing House. They also compiled their own statistics from last night in order to be fair and just so as to avoid anyone tampering with the data - if the data gap is too large, at a glance You can tell there's something fishy about it.

After all, a thousand people voted randomly.

but--

"Isn't this gap too big?"

An editor from Xinyanzhu Publishing House looked at the newly compiled data and couldn't help but ask his colleagues: "Did the market research department make a mistake?"

It’s outrageous that the male lead Naoki Hansawa got 867 votes!

You know, the Tomishima Publishing House next door counted only 854 votes for the male lead Naoki Hansawa, and we here helped them count more than ten more votes?

The only thing that makes them happy may be that Banzehua received fewer votes than the one next door, with 690 votes. But he still firmly won the first place.

This terrifying approval rate made Xinyanzhu Publishing House feel inexplicably numb after taking a look at it.

You must know that the second place, which is currently the most popular manga "Chiyo", the male protagonist of "Investigation Team" only has 467 votes. The female protagonist also only has 403 votes.

Both the male and female protagonists can be said to have been crushed by Higashino Tsukasa's "Hansawa Naoki".

This is a bit beyond the expectations of New Rock Building Press.

In their imagination, a group of comics on their side should have surrounded "Naoki Hansawa", making it difficult for him to escape.

But the actual situation is that the group of them swarmed up, and then they were all knocked to the ground by "Naoki Hansawa", unable to even move.

Invincible.

It’s really a comic with the word ‘invincible’ written on its face.

In particular, Higashinoji's "Naoki Hansawa" specially created a virtual image of the "Tokyo Industrial Central Bank", which is about the merger of banks.

It just so happened that Yanjiao Publishing House and Mozhu Bookstore merged.

Isn't this an allusion to us?

To be honest, the editor below really gritted his teeth after reading it, feeling that Higashinoji was simply trying to kill someone.

But what convinced them was that "Naoki Hansawa" was really good-looking.

"Let's make the announcement as planned."

Chief Editor Seo above suddenly spoke.

"However, this crushing performance may affect the creative enthusiasm of our manga authors, Editor-in-Chief Seo."

This editor-in-chief, Seo, is the new editor-in-chief of Shiniwa Publishing House, and he is very bold in his work.

But this time I feel like I can’t act so hastily. After all, Higashinoji’s achievements

"Let's make it public. Tomishima Publishing House has made it public. If we don't make it public, we will already be weak to the other side. Even if we don't want to reveal the news, there will definitely be comics authors on our side asking us. Statistical data.”

Having said this, Editor-in-Chief Seo knocked on the table: "So there is no need to hide it. After all, appropriate pressure can stimulate the author's enthusiasm for creation. Don't underestimate the tenacity of manga authors."

Yes.

As long as you are in the creative industry, there will always be authors who want to challenge themselves.

It's like writing a book at the starting point. No one will feel that they can't do it just because they scrapped one or two books.

So Editor-in-Chief Seo made the decision very simply and looked very calm.

"I see."

The editor in charge below nodded vigorously, then returned to his desk and began to use a scanner to upload specific data and comic posters on the voting page.

Editor-in-Chief Seo nodded, and then glanced at the current situation.

Because he was pushed to the ground and beaten while reading a manga titled "Naoki Hansawa" written by Higashino Tsukasa.

So the editors below didn't seem to be in a good mood, and they looked a little downcast.

Thinking of this, Editor-in-Chief Seo patted the table mercilessly, motioning for all the editors to look over.

"Cheer up! We are the editors of New Rock Building Publishing House! This is just the first failure, and it is not a big deal. Just like can editors guarantee that they will have smooth sailing in life? This is obviously impossible .”

Editor-in-chief Seo speaks very softly, but always has an inspiring charm: "Yes, this is only the first time that we let the opponent win, but we will have a second, third, and fourth time in the future." .”

"Can Heshi Comic Magazine guarantee that it will always win against us?"

Chief Editor Seo asked rhetorically.

This makes sense.

Judging from the overall data, the overall comic situation of "Heshi" still cannot beat "Chiyo".

Can they continue to win with "Naoki Hansawa"? impossible!

The editor of "Chiyo" below cheered up a little and got back on his feet.

Keep up the good work! Still have to work hard!

We can't lose like this!

"That's good, that's it. Don't be upset because of the temporary defeat."

Chief Editor Seo nodded.

To describe it appropriately, the atmosphere here is full of positive energy, and everyone has regained their confidence. There is a feeling that they are getting stronger with each setback.

They have made up their minds.

We must continue to fight against the 'evil dragon' villain "Hansawa Naoki", beat Higashino Tsukasa's "Hansawa Naoki" with scars all over his body, and finally defeat him!

On the other side, Higashinoji naturally didn't know that he had been shaped into a villain-like character.

He just came to Shintomi Press on his own initiative.

He first came to see the new address of Shintima Publishing House, in case he couldn't find the publishing house if he wanted to come to the publishing house in the future.

Secondly, I wanted to see with my own eyes the statistics of readers’ favorable votes and the statistics of votes for male protagonists and female protagonists in advance.

After all, Hanzawa Naoki was his new starting point, and he wanted to get the form in his hands and read it bit by bit.

"Oh, this new publishing house is indeed different from before."

Looking at the entrance of the club, which was more impressive than that of the old Urashima Publishing House, and looking at the imposing publishing house logo hanging on the outer wall, Tonoji couldn't help but nodded.

It's really different.

The scale is larger than before, at least it gives people a different feeling.

However, despite the change of location, the receptionist at the door remained the same, Ms. Uzaki whom Higashinoji had met before.

She recognized Higashino Tsukasa, the mainstay author of Tomishima Publishing House, at a glance, and got him a pass with a smile.

"Excuse me, Miss Uzaki."

"Brother Dongye, you have to work hard today too."

The smiling face of a young girl is eye-catching, and Tonoji is in a good mood.

So he went all the way up to outside the editorial office of Tomishima Publishing House, and then took out his mobile phone and called Hosokawa Koharu.

"Teacher Higashino, do you want to come over and see the number of positive votes from readers?"

Hosokawa Koharu was quite surprised when he received the call from Higashinoji. Several editors from the old Fuji Publishing House nearby looked over and exchanged words——

What? Is Higashinoji himself coming to the editorial office?

None of the editors of the old Fuji Publishing House had ever met Higashinoji in person. At most, they had seen him once or twice on TV.

Thinking of the opportunity to meet him in person, several editors from the old Fuji Publishing House were so excited that they came up to ask Hosokawa Koharu for details.

Hosokawa Koharu was also a little amused. She didn't expect that the editors of Fuji Publishing House were beaten up many times by Higashino Tsukasa's comic works. As a result, these editors were very happy to ask about Higashino Tsukasa's situation.

Shake M? Happy to be tortured.

After finally comforting these colleagues, Hosokawa Koharu got up and headed outside the editorial office.

"Editor Hosokawa." Higashinoji, who had been waiting for a while, greeted Hosokawa Koharu.

"Why did Mr. Higashino suddenly come to the editorial office? Didn't I tell you that I would inform you on the phone about the number of positive votes?"

"I want to come over and see what's going on at Tomishima Publishing House."

Higashinoji said and followed Hosokawa Koharu into the editorial office.

The current editorial department of Tomishima Press is still roughly the same as the previous Urashima Editorial Department.

Divided into two pieces in total.

The outside part is the area where editors receive authors, and the inside part is where editors work, with a clear division of labor.

only.

Tonoji raised his eyebrows, feeling a little strange.

Why does he feel like someone is always watching him?

Illusion?

Higashikata shook his head, not paying much attention to the situation.

After all, this is the editorial department. There are many editors coming and going, and it is normal for their eyes to cross.

Tonoji sat down and waited, but the feeling of being watched only increased instead of lessening.

Fortunately, editor Hosokawa came very quickly and directly took the form with the readers' praise and the protagonist's support rate and handed it to Higashino Tsukasa.

"Then you're welcome." Higashinoji greeted, lowered his head and began to scan the current situation of "Hansawa Naoki".

The results surprised him.

"Naoki Hansawa" exceeded his imagination and directly ranked first with 865 votes.

Higashinoji's previous predicted result was 810 votes, and as long as it exceeded, it would be considered a success.

Now with 865 votes, it would be an understatement to say it was a huge success.

Underneath "Naoki Hansawa", two former enemies from the old Urashima Publishing House, Meisa Kuromiya and Ha Suzuki, are fighting.

Akisa Kuromiya's basic skills have obviously improved a lot, and for a while she was evenly matched with Suzuki Ha, and won the second place with an advantage of three votes.

Hmm. The situation is not bad.

At least I saved a little bit of my reputation as a teacher!

Higashikata nodded.

Put down the number of readers' favorable votes in your hands and look at the protagonist's support rate instead.

Here, the number of favorable votes from readers is almost the same. Hansawa Naoki still topped the list with 854 votes.

The only thing that surprised Tonoji was that the number one heroine on the other side was actually occupied by Hana Hanzawa.

This really surprised him.

After all, Higashinoji gave Hanzawa Hana seven pages of plot in the first episode, mainly about her dealing with the wives of her colleagues in the dormitory for Hanzawa Naoki.

This fully reflects the fact that the husband's status in the bank is equal to the wife's status in the small group.

Due to being defrauded of a 500 million yen loan, Naoki Hansawa's status plummeted, so Hana Hanzawa also encountered difficulties. But even so, Hana Hanzawa still supported Naoki Hansawa.

To be honest, Higashinoji felt that he drew this scene very well, and fully conveyed Hanzawa Hana's gentle and virtuous feeling.

But he didn't expect that the image of Han Zehua would be so popular.

Higashinoji shook his head. It seemed that he had underestimated the influence of "Naoki Hansawa" in Japan back then.

He continued to look down.

The second male protagonist ranked under Hansawa Naoki is the male protagonist from "Investigation Team" in "Chiyo" published by New Iwazhu Publishing House.

In fact, Higashinoji has watched this "Investigation Team".

It is a very common criminal investigation comic among Japanese comics.

But unlike other criminal investigation comics, the author of this comic has traces of imitating "Unnatural Death".

But it cannot be said to be plagiarism.

At most, they are just following the trend.

After all, "Unnatural Death" has been finished for so long, so it doesn't matter if it follows the trend.

Tonoji frowned tightly and continued to look down.

This is actually his expression when he is concentrating.

But it was the first time for Hosokawa Koharu to see him next to him.

Seeing his frowning expression, Hosokawa Koharu couldn't help but open his mouth.

Why is Mr. Tono frowning?

Are you dissatisfied with your results?

Isn’t it just 865 votes?

Are you still not satisfied?

Is it possible that you want to get more than 900 votes before you are satisfied?

She touched her head, and she really didn't quite understand Higashinoji's thoughts.

The atmosphere in the editorial office was tense.

Thanks for the rewards from Yuanfen Qiansheng, Xiangfei and Liheng! Thank you so much!
