Tokyo life starting with painting

The production plan for "Unnatural Death" was launched in October last year.

This time, unlike "The Winner Is Justice," Higashino Studio has gone through another round of recruitment expansion. Compared with the "Winner Is Justice" period, the manpower pressure on original animators has been greatly eased.

Naturally, there is no need for him, Higashinoji, to sit in Higashino Studio all the time like in "The Winner is Justice".

What Higashinoji didn't expect was that the best performer was Chinatsu Yamayama, a little girl who likes to use the studio computer to surf the Internet secretly after get off work.

but

Higashinoji then thought about it, Shanxia Chinatsu was at least half of his direct disciple. He taught her a lot, and she performed so well.

"Doesn't this mean I played well?"

Higashikata thought and couldn't help but nodded: "As expected of me."

In addition, Kuromiya Meisa is the disciple. Isn’t this because of his good teaching?

Not bad, really good.

Higashikata nodded happily.

As expected of him, the two apprentices he taught easily won the title of the best employees of Higashino Studio.

With this in mind, Higashinoji was not stingy and decided to give Yamayama Chinatsu some additional salary - after all, her family situation was difficult.

As for Akisa Kuromiya, Higashinoji felt that rather than a monetary reward, she wanted him to take some time to teach her how to improve her painting skills. Higashinoji decided to find a time to contact the other party.

"Although "Unnatural Death" is progressing smoothly, you still can't relax. If you need my help with the painting, please contact me in time."

Higashinoji didn't forget to add: "But Yano-san, your main focus now is still on the operation of P station. Remember to pay attention every day."

After all, the production time of "Unnatural Death" is still three months, and the construction period can be fully met, so there is no problem for Yano Ryuichi to focus on the p station.

"I understand, Mr. Higashino."

Although Ryuichi Yano felt that reaching 10,000 registered members in twenty days was a bit unrealistic, he still accepted the job honestly.

Anyway, Higashinoji's intention is there. Yano Ryuu only needs to operate, and there is no need to think about other things at all.

"Yes. Please." Higashino said please.

That's all he has to explain. Whether he can succeed or not depends on the specific operation of the P station.

And at the same time.

Seo Shizuru, who was sitting next to Seo Daigo, couldn't help but tilt his head: "Father, do you think it is possible for Mr. Higashino's website to register 10,000 members in 20 days?"

She is just a student and doesn't know much about what's going on here.

"No, it's not possible." Seo Daigo originally wanted to say it was impossible, but he changed his mind halfway: "Ten thousand registered members. That's not a small amount. Even if Tono Studio spends money to find When people do promotion and publicity, it also depends on the quality of the website itself.”

An unknown website wants to reach that level.

This is indeed impossible.

However, thinking of Higashinoji's calm expression just now, Seo Daigo was a little unsure again.

What exactly is the other party thinking? Why can’t I figure it out at all?

He couldn't help but shake his head, and then sighed: "In a sense, I still admire this teacher Higashino. I can only say that his reputation is well-deserved."

It’s not like Seo Daigo hasn’t seen some ‘genius manga artist’, ‘genius manga author’ and ‘new star in the manga industry’.

But after actually comparing these people with Higashinoji, he discovered that the gap between these people and Higashinoji was really huge.

Higashinoji is much more mature both in his words and in his dealings with others, and his words are even more convincing.

You must know that the other party is only eighteen years old this year.

What was Seo Daigo doing when he was eighteen?

At that time, he was probably still like a child, discussing with his classmates which girl was pretty and which girl had a big butt, or just going to the game arcade to spend time.

Let’s compare it with the current Tonoji.

This gap simply made Seo Daigo a little desperate.

"Just wait for twenty days. I will not contact my acquaintances in other publishing houses within twenty days."

It is actually not difficult for Seo Daigo to find a job. As the former chief editor of a giant publishing house, even if he is transferred to other small and medium-sized publishing houses, he will start at the chief editor level, which is completely stress-free.

It's just that the salary and resources that can be mobilized are definitely much less than those of the giant publishing houses.

"I think Mr. Higashino can do it, 10,000 registered members in twenty days."

Seo Shizuru suddenly said.

"What do you think?" Seo Daigo didn't even know why his daughter was so confident.

He couldn't help but said: "Stop fooling around. You are already in your third year of high school now, right? Concentrate on your studies."

Obviously, Seo Daigo looked scornful of his daughter's words and thought she was joking.

"Let's just wait and see." Seo Shizuru didn't waste any more time on this topic, and put away the luxurious character set of "Naoki Hansawa" beside him.

Indeed, as Seo Daigo said, she is now in her third year of high school and does not have that much time to focus on comics.

the other side.

Chihaya Higashino from the Higashino family, Ryoka Konoe and her two good friends are also in the same situation.

The one who suffers the most is undoubtedly Takahashi Yumi. Her grades have never been good, and it would be impossible to make up for all the homework she had missed.

But fortunately, as a student with special talents in sports, she still had some preferential treatment in going to college.

So even if she complained a lot, now she could only study with the box of reference materials given to her by Higashinoji.

Fujiwara Aoi's situation is not much different from hers. She also brushed up on the Keio University exam questions she was going to take. Her grades were pretty good for her grade, but she wanted to be admitted to a Japanese university like Keio University. Top universities still need to work harder and harder.

However, Fujiwara Aoi is not panicking. Even if she fails to get into Keio, she can still transfer to her second choice, Aoyama Gakuin University.

This university is not bad. As one of the five prestigious universities "MARCH", it has a profound historical background and international teaching strength.

Fujiwara Aoi held the past examination questions of these two universities and went through them like crazy, feeling that she would never pay back Loulan until she broke them.

Among their three concubine friends, perhaps the one who has the easiest time is Konoe Ryoka.

Her grades in cultural classes were very good, and she was always in the top fifteen of her grade. In the second half of the second half of her sophomore year in high school, her grades did not fall below the top ten of her grade. She was a true academic student.

As for Musashino Art University, where she is applying, the results in cultural courses are not that important, but the professional level of art is more important.

For this reason, Konoe Ryoka often looked at the official collection of excellent student examination works issued by Musashino Art University.

Higashinoji also took some time to help her look at the 'Collection of Outstanding Students' Works'. To be honest, this collection is indeed of some standard.

Although these students cannot be said to have developed a strong personal style like Higashinoji, they already have some understanding of shading, lines, and colors.

but

Konoe Ryoka's level is actually not weaker than them.

After all, Higashinoji has been teaching you step by step for so long, so it can be said that he has taught everything he has.

At least Higashinoji thinks it's totally fine for Konoe Ryoka to reach the level of these people.

Unless Konoe Ryoka was so nervous on the day of the exam that she couldn't even hold her pen steady, then Higashinoji really didn't think there would be a big problem.

But even if Higashinoji told Konoe Ryoka this way, she had no intention of relaxing at all and kept drawing while holding the drawing board.

Until Higashino couldn't help but ask her.

Her pink face turned red and she whispered: "If I fail the exam, I won't be able to be with A Si, so I have to work harder."

As soon as Konoe Ryoka said these words, Tonoji couldn't help but shake his head, and finally expressed respect for her wishes.

Leaving aside the trio of Konoe Ryoka, the one who works the hardest is probably Chihaya Higashino.

She fell behind for more than a year, and it would be impossible if she didn't work hard. Higashinoji could see her holding the Qingshan University exam questions until eleven o'clock in the evening almost every day.

Here I have to mention the Japanese university entrance examination. The test questions issued by each university are not unified across the country like the Chinese college entrance examination.

Each of their universities has different test questions, so the tutoring materials in Japan are also very varied and highly targeted.

Whichever university you want to go to, just pick up their university's history test questions and do a targeted review.

And in Higashino Chihaya's situation, Higashinoji certainly didn't let her continue doing housework.

He is not a devil. He knew clearly that Chihaya Higashino was about to take the exam and it was a critical period, but he still let her do it.

After seeing this, some parents in China probably have a say.

During the college entrance examination, I made a special trip to book a room in a hotel close to the school, just to give my children an extra ten minutes of rest so that they could recharge their batteries for the college entrance examination.

Although Higashinoji had not reached this point, he still took care of all the housework and tried not to let Higashino Chihaya be distracted again.

Higashino Chihaya basically saw all these actions of his younger brother, and his heart was filled with indescribable feelings.

She specifically called Higashinoji over, hugged him and touched his head.

Although just this intimate gesture made Touyoshi speechless for a while.

Higashino Chihaya was indeed very nice, but this state of being completely undefended against him made Higashinoji couldn't help but shake his head.

But this was Chihaya Higashino's good intention anyway, and Higashino didn't say much about it.

Konoe Ryoka Mikiyu and Higashino Chihaya have all entered the preparation stage, and Higashinoji has also turned his attention to the p station operation of Higashino Studio.

Yano Ryuichi followed Higashinoji's instructions and posted the announcement of the trial operation of station p to the Higashino Studio page.

When he saw that the familiar light blue pixiv URL page in his memory could indeed be retrieved, Tonoji also let out a breath and his eyes flickered a little.

There are currently only two search terms for p station, one is the p station website address, and the other is the announcement issued by the official website of Dongye Studio.

These two search results do seem a bit shabby, and cannot be compared with some popular websites in Japan now.

But Higashinoji is extremely optimistic about the development prospects of p station. This is not only the experience of his previous life, but also his confidence in some painting enthusiasts - everyone must paint because they want to be praised by others.

No one wants their work to remain locked in a cabinet.

The P station is their display platform and currently their only display platform.

Looking at the simple and clean interface of the p station, Tonoji also did not forget to ask Yano Ryuichi next to him: "Yano-san, have you dealt with the design copyright matter?"

No matter where there are piracy and copycats, even in Japan, which attaches great importance to copyright awareness, Higashinoji doesn't want P Station to be just starting out, and there are more than a dozen websites in the same format as P Station on the Internet.

After all, the overall simple page design and like mechanism of the p site are not difficult to copy, and things on the Internet were still difficult to argue with in Japan in 2005.

Higashinoji doesn't want to spend all his energy on legal proceedings.

So he laid the groundwork first. If anyone dared to copy his 'homework', he would chop off the plagiarist's claws.

As for whether the same type of illustration exchange website will rise, Higashinoji can't control it. After all, he is not a god, he can really cover the sky with one hand.

As long as you don't copy the operating mechanism of other P sites, everything will be fine.

"Everything has been dealt with, including dealing with cross-border litigation."

Yano Ryuichi said from the side, and at the same time couldn't help but say: "P station has been in trial operation for two days. The number of registered members in these two days."

"On the first day of the trial operation, there were 113 people, 23 illustrations, and someone posted an original comic short story on the p station. On the second day of the trial operation, 132 people registered as members, which translates to more than 100 people registering as p station every day. Become a member.”

When it comes to the latter part, Yano Ryuichi is somewhat unsure.

But to be honest, it is just a trial operation website, and it is already an outstanding achievement to have more than 100 people register as members every day.

You must know that their Dongye Studio did not purchase any promotional means.

Even Yano Ryuichi couldn't help but be a little confused when he saw this data.

This result seems to be really impressive! The development potential is really great!

But as soon as Yano Ryuu thought about it, he couldn't help but rub his temples.

Although the development potential is great, it is too far away from Higashinoji’s goal.

You must know that Higashinoji requires 10,000 registered members in 20 days.

And use this to convince Seo Daigo to join Higashino Studio.

But according to the current growth rate of P station, after 20 days, it will only reach 4,000 registered members.

There are still six thousand registered members left, how can he change it?

Looking at the changes in the registered members' data, Yano Ryuichi's mentality changed slightly.

He felt that as long as Higashino agreed to purchase the advertising space, he estimated that it would not be long before the P station would have more than 10,000 registered members.

So Yano Ryuichi simply made a request to Higashinoji:

"Teacher Higashino, let's focus resources on station P, right? Let's spend money to buy advertising space."

At first, Yano Ryuichi was not optimistic about p-site. He felt that even if he spent money to buy advertising space, p-site would be just like that, a website with little potential.

But now that he has actual data, he sees hope and is even more anxious than Higashinoji:

"Please. Mr. Higashino."

Thanks to Mu for the reward of 10,000 starting coins! Thank you so much!
