Tokyo life starting with painting

Chapter 321.

system.

To be honest, this thing has long been forgotten by Higashi Yesi and has gone all over the world.

He had even relegated this 'system empress' to the cold palace without even realizing it, and completely forgot about it.

After all, the points required to exchange for the next painting skill were too terrifying, and he didn't even bother to look at them.

Therefore, when it suddenly popped up a prompt, Tonoji was quite surprised.

The specific content is ‘your painting level has been improved’.

To be honest, Higashinoji heard this system prompt once a long, long time ago.

I probably heard it once when he just painted "Tokyo" and participated in the Youth Art Award.

"Why was he suddenly promoted again?" Higashinoji really didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He didn't feel that his painting skills had improved much, but this stupid system suddenly caught him off guard and forced a 'painting level upgrade'.

However, Higashinoji actually has some ideas about this 'painting level improvement'.

He estimated that during this period, he had been obsessed with the painting "Hansawa Naoki".

After all, it's a workload of fifty pages. If you don't fully immerse yourself in it, even if Tonoji wants to complete it, it will be difficult.

As a result, the system gave him a 'level improvement'.

"Forget it, I haven't looked at the system page for a long time anyway."

Tonoji murmured and concentrated a little, and the simple blue system page that he had not seen for a long time jumped into his eyes.

Name: Higashinoji.

Physical fitness: 15 (1.5 times that of an ordinary adult, 1000 famous points are required for the next level)

Physical condition: healthy.

Talent: Your art talent in your previous life allows you to quickly master any painting and painting-related techniques.

Painting level: reaching the pinnacle - painting from complexity to simplicity (10,000,000 famous points are required to upgrade to the next level)

Painting Skill 1: Empathy (the viewer can feel the joy, anger, sorrow and joy of the characters in the painting from your full of emotional brushwork)

Painting Skill 2: Recognizing the Smell of Painting (Appreciators can feel the smell of the world through your works.)

Painting Skill 3: Painting Shadows and Colors (Appreciators can personally experience the environment in the painting through realistic painting techniques.)

Painting Skill 4: Tracing and recording sounds (the viewer can hear the sounds from the world of the work through the work.)

The next painting skill: Shape and Touch Inference (the reader can feel the feeling of the objects touched by the characters in the world of the work through the work.) (requires 20,000,000 famous points)

Other skills: Tang Shou, animation scripter, music (opening up the next skill slot requires 1,000,000 famous points)

Remaining famous points: 7513206 points

I have to say that after not opening the system page for a long time, Higashinoji really found something extra.

Needless to say, the first four painting skills are mainly based on the painting level column. It directly changes from 'perfection - reaching the peak' to 'peaking - painting from complexity to simplicity'.

What kind of grading operation is this?

Tonoji couldn't help but pinch his chin.

To be honest, he didn't quite know what "painting from complexity to simplicity" meant. But if he only looked at the literal meaning, Higashino thought it probably meant that when he was painting, he could transform some complex things into simple strokes. expressed in the form.

"Speaking of it, it's really been like this these past few days."

Higashinoji subconsciously grabbed the G pen he had at hand for drawing comics and started drawing casually on the thick manuscript paper.

Soon, a profile portrait of Hanzawa Naoki with dark and lively eyes appeared on the paper.

This side profile portrait of Naoki Hansawa looks extremely simple, without even a single extra stroke. It is so perfect that even Higashikata couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

You know, no matter who paints, there will always be times when one stroke is too much and one stroke is too little.

Just like when you draw a character's eyebrows or shadows, even if your hands are shaking, if you accidentally draw more, it will not affect the overall look and feel. In the same way, even if you draw less, it will still be the same, and the visual experience will be the same. There are slight differences, but the overall effect will not be affected.

But Higashikata is a little different now.

When he painted this bust of Naoki Hansawa, he had the feeling of 'just like this'.

One more stroke will obviously feel unnatural, and one stroke less will also feel uncoordinated.

This feeling of 'just right' perfection. Even Higashinoji can only enter it when he is in a state of inspiration. It is rare to have this kind of feeling that comes easily.

And it was this feeling of having it at his fingertips that allowed him to quickly complete the fifty-page "Hanzawa Naoki" serialization he had done in the past few days.

Could it be that this is the meaning of painting from complexity to simplicity?

Higashinoji doesn't quite understand, but on the whole, this is a good thing.

As a result, his painting speed has been greatly improved, and the quality has not been reduced at all.

good! She is indeed the empress of the system who has been relegated to the cold palace!

Higashino gave the system a thumbs up, indicating that it would continue to work hard, otherwise he would really not remember its existence.

As for the fifth painting skill?

That would be a bit too difficult to handle.

Twenty million famous points.

Even if I sell this Dongyeji, I won't be able to exchange it for this thing.

He has worked hard for so long and only has more than 7 million famous points. It can be said that there is a long way to go to reach 20 million famous points.

Higashinoji shook his head, put aside the system page for the time being, and focused his attention on "Hansawa Naoki" again.

As mentioned before, the second chapter of "Naoki Hansawa" has been serialized, so according to the editor-in-chief Urashima, we should go to the printing company to start discussing the issue of a single volume.

I don’t know what kind of sales “Naoki Hansawa” will eventually achieve.

to be honest.

For "Naoki Hansawa", Higashinoji has high expectations.

He felt that this work could surpass "Unnatural Death".

Therefore, the initial goal set for it is to sell 2.5 million copies of the first volume.

Yes.

The first volume is 2.5 million.

No matter which publishing house or era it is in, this is a comic book that is at the top of the ladder, and it is still ranked high.

In this world of Japan.

Although there is no "One Piece" or "Naruto", there are still many excellent comic works.

Among them, the sales record is an average of four million sales per volume, which is also the highest sales volume of Japanese comics in this parallel world.

Higashinoji wants to rely on "Naoki Hansawa" to hit this volume's sales record of four million, and win it directly, making "Naoki Hansawa" the real number one in Japan.

This can be regarded as not dishonoring the name of the phenomenal Japanese drama "Naoki Hansawa".

But the average sales volume of four million is indeed a bit difficult.

Even Higashinoji is not sure whether "Hansawa Naoki" can reach that point.

And according to the current situation, "Hansawa Naoki" will probably have a climax in episode 20.

That is to say, Hansawa Naoki completely defeated the Asano branch president and became the deputy director of the second business department of the headquarters of Tokyo Central Industrial Bank.

That was probably the time when sales of "Naoki Hansawa" skyrocketed.

As for now, although there is a small climax, it is definitely not as comfortable as the part where Naoki Hansawa made the Asano branch chief Doge kneel down and admit his mistake.

Can we reach an average sales volume of four million volumes by the time we reach twenty chapters? Let’s start with the sales of this volume!

Tonoji exhaled slowly and put down the G pen in his hand while thinking.

He has finished all the work for today and can almost take a break.

By the way, let’s take a look at the response to “Naoki Hansawa” this week.

First, Higashinoji excluded some magazine reviews from Tomishima Publishing House.

After all, these are promotional materials from my family. They are all about praising "Naoki Hansawa". They are too targeted and have no reference value to him.

Secondly, he excluded some magazines from Xinyanzhu Publishing House.

The reason is similar to that of Tomishima Publishing House. Most of the magazines here feel that "Naoki Hansawa" just started relatively high, and will definitely not be able to keep up with the rhythm and will fall behind. Most of them are criticizing and not recommending. Also too targeted.

What Higashinoji wants to see are comments from neutral parties.

During this search process, a magazine caught Higashinoji's attention.

The name of this magazine is "Moritani".

It is a magazine that introduces current fashion trends.

Just when I saw the name of this magazine.

Higashinoji couldn't help but show a surprised expression - isn't this the same magazine where the editor of "Unnatural Death" and "Winner Is Justice" bet last time to shave his head?

Why are they here to join in the fun again? Aren't you afraid of shaving your head again?

but

Tonoji raised his eyebrows.

This magazine's position is fairly fair. It is neither biased towards Tomishima Publishing House nor Shiniwa Tsuki Publishing House. It is a rare neutral party.

So Higashino sighed and decided to open it and take a look.

""Naoki Hansawa" is a semi-passionate comic that depicts an elite bank employee who, in order to be promoted, was knocked down, betrayed, betrayed again, and finally stood up again with perseverance."

Semi-hot comics

As soon as he saw this word, Higashinoji became a little interested.

Because it's exactly what the other person said.

In a sense, "Naoki Hansawa" is actually a passionate comic in the workplace.

The weak defeats the strong, the inferior overcomes the superior, and the hero's perseverance. These are actually the settings of many passionate comics.

"Although the author Mr. Higashino has set the tone for this comic as a workplace comic, I will still define "Hansawa Naoki" as a semi-hot-blooded comic on this basis. This is because there are many exciting things in it. Storyboard. Among them, Hanzawa Naoki did not bow his head when facing President Asano and followed the principles, which is enough to make people deeply feel the charm of this character."

"The credit of the subordinates is taken by the superiors, but the faults of the superiors belong to the subordinates. This is undoubtedly an unfair social phenomenon. When Hansawa Naoki faced such a social phenomenon, his approach was like that of many low-level office workers and social animals. I long for it but don't dare to use the 'Tit for tooth, double the amount!' method of revenge."

"This is also the most successful part of "Naoki Hansawa". It uses the simplest, most direct, but most attractive way to grasp the psychology of many salarymen and office workers, and does all the things they dare not do. It’s all done, and it gives people a strong sense of spiritual resonance. While people are hooked, they also have to sigh that Higashino Tsukasa, the manga author, is really talented in plot shaping.”

"Teacher Higashino is indeed a highly skilled comic master. At least since entering the winter period of Japanese comics until now, the author has not found a comic author who can compare with Mr. Higashino. Whether it is "Unnatural Death" or "Midnight Evil" "Bell" has caused a wave of popularity, and some time ago, "Unnatural Death" was even the guide for many Japanese comics to follow the trend."

When he saw this, Tonoji couldn't help but touch his forehead and began to wonder if Tomishima Publishing House had submitted a promotional article about him in some "Moritani" magazine.

Otherwise, why would the other party praise him so harshly? I feel like I want to nail Higashinoji to a pillar and praise him fiercely.

This is already a master of comics, how can you praise him in the future?

Higashino shook his head and put down the magazine.

This evaluation is also quite one-sided. If he continues to read, he may be touted as the strongest comic book author of this century. Although Higashinoji thinks that he is indeed, if he really said it, it would give people a sense of arrogance. Feeling modest, so he could only remain silent for the time being.

——Wait until "Naoki Hansawa" really takes off, then brag a lot!

Don't think Higashinoji is very arrogant. After all, in painting, who wants the things he has worked so hard to draw to be called bullshit by others?

As long as you are a creator, you basically don’t want this to happen.

Most people prefer to praise.

Higashinoji read the reviews about "Naoki Hansawa" several times and found that most of them, whether online or in real magazines, were more positive than negative.

It seems that there is absolutely nothing wrong with continuing to draw like this.

After closing all these column areas, Tonoji took some time and glanced at his favorite 'torture Japanese friends discussion area' (reader comment area).

This week, due to the famous saying of "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a double return" from "Naoki Hansawa" appeared, many people excitedly said in the comment area that they had resigned and were unemployed, and were now looking for another company and preparing to start a new life. .

What surprised Tonoji was that many salarymen in their thirties or even forties appeared in the comment area below.

"The second episode of Higashino-san's "Hansawa Naoki" made me decide to leave the company I hated. I also resonate with Hansawa Naoki's experience. Even if I can't find a job in the next company, I will work hard. Working to make a living!”

"An eye for an eye, an eye for an eye, a double return. This is indeed a good saying. I envy Hansawa Naoki very much. Now the fun every week is waiting for the serialization of "Hansawa Naoki". I don't know what the plot of the third episode will be."

"."

Tonoji carefully read through the comments of these salarymen in their thirties and forties, and found out that many of these people were still unmarried because of excessive pressure from the company.

Married salarymen will not be like them. After all, they have a family. They can't really leave their jobs angrily after watching "Naoki Hansawa". That would be too immature.

only.

"This is only the second episode. Do so many people believe Naoki Hansawa's one-week resignation tips?"

Higashinoji leaned on the bench and couldn't help but reach out and knock on the table.

If only the plot of "Hanzawa Naoki" were further developed.

Then isn’t this comment section ‘Hello? Did you quit your job this week? ’ ‘I resigned, I resigned last week. “Naoki Hanzawa” is so beautiful. ’ Is this a comment?

Higashikata just discovered it now

These Japanese dramas are really good at torturing Japanese friends.
