Tokyo life starting with painting

Everything was as Higashino expected.

The release date of "Chiyo" was indeed delayed by two days.

At the same time, "Chiyo" has suspended six comics at the same time.

It seems that Omiya Hiroto failed to convince Ozawada and the others in the end, so he had no choice but to find six other works of much lower quality to fill the gap.

Coupled with the fact that Tomishima Publishing House was fanning the flames, Iwazuki Publishing House stopped publishing six comics at the same time and attracted the attention of many entertainment newspapers.

Many newspapers began to publish similar remarks, "Iwazuki Publishing House re-adopted Horikoshi Hanpei, which caused the author of the six popular comics to feel dissatisfied and announced the suspension of publication."

Even Hiroto Omiya's name appeared in the newspapers, and he was held down and beaten by many newspapers, making him feel like a scum in the comics publishing industry.

This made Omiya Hiroto feel angry when he saw it - when I adopted Horikoshi Hanpei, didn't you entertainment newspapers all praise it as "Horikoshi Hanpei turned around and apologized in public"?

Why did his face change when something happened to us, and he scolded us in turn? What a dog-like thing!

However, newspapers and newspapers are inherently virtuous, so Omiya Hiroto could only scold him when he saw them.

What frightened him even more was the sight of fans of these newspapers.

Ozawada and the other six authors of the off-issue are relatively well-known in the entire comic industry, and of course they have many fans.

And these fans came here for their comics, and then found nothing. They were a little puzzled at first, but then they heard the news newspapers fanned the flames and exposed that it was Iwazuki Publishing House that adopted Horikoshi Hanpei's works and the editor-in-chief's negligence that led to the six authors. Suspension of publication.

Fans are not happy about this - is this the kind of treatment our favorite authors receive from publishing houses?

The most important thing is that because of your nonsense, we have no comics to read?

scold! Must be scolded!

Some irrational fans rushed directly to the official website of Yanzhu Publishing House and began to name and curse, starting from the president and working their way down.

Among them, Omiya Hiroto and Horikoshi Hanpei are the two with the strongest firepower.

Their names were scolded for a hundred or two hundred pages.

The angry Japanese friend felt like he wanted to hold a knife to their necks.

Some rational fans also suppressed their anger and asked for an explanation under the official website, hoping that Yanzhu Publishing House could give a reasonable explanation.

Otherwise, could it be possible that all six authors fell ill at the same time? Broken hand?

How could it be possible to take such a neat break?

Horikoshi Hanpei was a fool at this time, and his comic "Investigation Team" finally restarted serialization.

Of course, it is impossible to say that his rude remarks to these senior authors at an author gathering led to this consequence.

Isn't this asking for death?

He held back his words and was so distressed.

As a result, the sales volume of "Chiyo" has reached its lowest level since its inception. After all, this kind of thing has happened. If it is not handled properly, many readers will probably abandon the magazine.

Omiya Hiroto almost died of depression.

He asked Hanpei Horikoshi to come over again just to increase the sales of "Chiyo".

As a result, sales declined instead of increasing, even more than during the days of Seo Daigo.

To be honest, Omiya Hiroto himself felt that his position as editor-in-chief was no longer secure.

But the house leaked when it rained all night.

Higashinoji's "Hansawa Naoki" is forging ahead and entering its climax, with Hansawa Naoki finally understanding the full truth of the matter.

It turns out that Asano Branch President and Higashinoda had cooperated for a long time, and the two had always been juniors in the school.

The two of them deliberately planned this incident of defrauding a 500 million yen loan.

And how can Hanzawa Naoki, who understands all this, defeat his immediate boss and still be innocent?

I have to say that this chapter of "Naoki Hansawa" has fully fulfilled the rhythm and expectations.

Even Takahashi Yumi, who was still struggling to cope with the exam, took the time to call Higashinoji and wanted to ask him what the plot was going to be like.

But Higashikata just smiled at this and immediately laughed and scolded her back.

You are going to take the college exam next year, and now you are still thinking about reading comics. Exam-takers should behave like exam-takers! When you finish the exam, I will give you a copy of the complete works of "Hanzawa Naoki" at that time, so that you can read it to your heart's content.

From this we can also see the current influence of "Naoki Hansawa".

The sales volume of "Heshi" has increased a little higher, keeping "Chiyo" firmly under control.

This made the morale of the editorial department of Yanzhu Publishing House even lower.

Under this situation, many editors began to miss the time when Seo Daigo was around.

Even though I was losing all the time at that time, I didn't lose so completely, right?

What is the new editor-in-chief doing? Can't you even negotiate well with the comic book author?

Discussions like this began to circulate within the Rock Building Press.

While Omiya Hiroto and Horikoshi Hanpei were having headaches, Higashinoji on the other side could be said to be having a smooth career.

One of the obvious ones is that the first Illustration Award competition of station p has officially begun.

This event naturally attracted the attention of many professional illustrators.

After all, this is the first competition in Japan that focuses on 'illustration'. In the past, most comics only had such treatment - illustrators and original painters have always had a low status in the industry, and are similar to part-time workers.

At this time, the pixiv website was the first to stand up and naturally gained a lot of attention.

Of course, the total prize money of 11 million yen is indeed exciting.

You must know that illustrators in Japan today are not like those who can work alone in the future.

Most illustrators work for some animation production companies, and their annual income is only three to four million yen.

The gold reward for first place is a full four million yen, which will make anyone excited.

As a result, many professional illustrators have joined pixiv.

After all, it is actually not a loss for them to be stationed on the p site. They can accumulate fans by publishing works, and maybe they can also receive some requests for commercial manuscripts.

This is just like the Sina Weibo of Higashino Prefecture in the previous life. There were also some painters on it who accumulated some fans by posting some works.

Similarly, this group of professional illustrators did not forget to sign up for the ‘Rain’ illustration competition.

And this directly led to the emergence of many excellent entries.

There are some illustrations that even Chinatsu Yamayama, a disciple who received personal guidance from Higashinoji, couldn't help but praise them.

Very well drawn indeed.

The illustration competition with the theme of "Rain" is in full swing. Seo Daigo and Yano Ryuichi often get together to discuss issues and are very busy.

In this case, Higashinoji, as the chief planner of this competition, is not so busy.

He even had the time to open it and read some comments from Chinese netizens.

"It seems that station p has gradually spread in China."

Higashinoji looked at the Chinese comments that gradually appeared on the p site and couldn't help but nodded.

It’s just the content of these comments

There's nothing serious about it at all.

Most of them don't understand how to enter the R18 area. I hope someone can help me crack it so that they can go in and see the 'new world'.

This made Touyesi a little bit dumbfounded.

In fact, the R18 area of ​​station p is not as good as they thought, and it is not much different from the illustration area.

If site p takes the initiative to open up the R18 area, it probably won't arouse the interest of Chinese netizens - but pixiv's secretive attitude has aroused the curiosity of some Chinese netizens.

You won't let me see it? Then I have to take a look today!

There were a lot of comments under the Chinese comments saying that they wanted to study the p station and open the door to the R18 area.

Higashikata couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

What a bunch of funny guys!

However, apart from these comments, there are still some serious comments from Chinese netizens.

Some of them were attracted by some beautiful illustrations on the p site.

Some people have heard about this website and want to contribute to the p site.

In addition, some Tianchao users lamented that pixiv actually supports Chinese, and the Chinese conversion system is very complete. No matter what the options are, they are all clearly translated into Chinese, making it difficult for people to understand.

This was a breath of fresh air in the external network environment of 2005.

They sighed one after another, and curiously inquired about the owner of this website, only to find out that this website was produced by a development group called Dongye Studio.

Higashino Studio.

Many Chinese netizens don’t quite understand this name.

But once someone explained in the comment area that it was the website of Higashino Tsukasa who painted "Naoki Hansawa", then many people knew the situation.

"Is this the website of Higashino Tsukasa who painted "Naoki Hansawa"? I have read his "Unnatural Death" and found a way to buy the genuine single book to support it."

"I also watched "Naoki Hansawa", but I saw it on a domestic website."

These discussions were very loud, which made Higashino a little surprised.

Are you already so famous in China?

He raised his eyebrows, searched for a domestic search engine, and downloaded a Chinese input method.

Then he found out.

He is quite famous in China.

Not only "Unnatural Death" and "Naoki Hansawa" have been Chineseized by some Chinese folk comic lovers.

Even the animated movie version of "The Ring" and the comic versions of "The Ring" and "The Winner Is Justice" have been Chineseized.

There are also people who have specially set up a post bar about him to discuss topics about him. There are still a lot of followers, there are already 20,000 to 30,000 following users.

Songs such as "Lemon", "Don't Give Up", and "Although We Have Nothing in Our Hands" also have high downloads on the Tianchao website.

This did make Tonoji feel a little unexpected.

What surprised Higashinoji even more was that there were many more entries about him searched using the Chinese search engine than using the Japanese search engine.

Chinese netizens seem to have a particularly good impression of him.

He briefly checked the comments on the Tianchao website and then understood the specific reason.

It turned out that the set of "Three Principles of Comics" he released in November last year was transferred to a domestic website by someone unknown, and it was recognized by many Chinese netizens.

In addition, he is very young, has a good image, and can do comics and singing, which naturally attracts the attention of many Chinese netizens.

This search result made Tonoji unable to stop coughing.

The Three Principles of Manga can be regarded as the spirit that he inherited from master Osamu Tezuka and was spoken in this world.

I didn't expect that it would receive so much attention.

"It seems that if there is an opportunity in the future, we will have to establish some cooperative relations with China."

Higashikata muttered.

Otherwise, all this natural popularity will be wasted.

As for some folk Chinese groups in China Chineseizing his works and posting them on the Internet without his consent

To be honest, Higashinoji doesn't particularly care about this.

After all, this is how China is in this era. These folk Chinese groups basically generate electricity with love. It is really not easy to have no salary and risk being sued.

Higashinoji actually has the idea of ​​​​recruiting them.

In the future, when an online comic reading platform is established, a Chinese translation team will definitely be needed, and private Chinese translation groups like Tianchao are actually good candidates.

But that's all for the future. Higashinoji's online comic reading platform has not been established yet, and it doesn't even have a horoscope yet.

He read through the comments of some shady netizens in China again, and was slightly relieved when he saw that they were going crazy after being unable to do anything about the high network wall in the R18 area.

So far it seems there is no problem, the function of filtering entries is perfect.

As for if a Chinese user sneaks in later, there will be manual inspection on his side. The defensive measures should be considered foolproof.

Higashinoji closed the webpage and looked at the situation of the illustration competition with the theme of "rain" again.

Due to the like mechanism of the p site, Higashinoji can see several works at the top of the rankings.

The illustrator who is currently ranked first is named Ohara Tsumugi. This may be a pen name or his real name. His style in this competition is aesthetic, and the perspective chosen in his works is also quite interesting.

The content of the work is that a high school girl’s feet are stepping on a waterlogged street.

Yes. Ohara only drew one pair of feet.

He did not continue to draw the girl's body and appearance completely, but took another perspective - the water-filled street reflected the girl's face, as well as the beautiful posture of holding an umbrella and tilting her head.

Just a simple change of perspective gives people an indescribable sense of comfort.

The idea of ​​only drawing half of the picture instead of the whole body, and using the reflection of the water to reflect the girl's face is also very creative.

These factors also put his works at the top of the list.

Higashinoji also took a look at the works with the second and third most likes, and found that their number of likes was actually about the same, and their content was also different. They should all belong to professional illustrators.

This made him nod with satisfaction.

At this point, half of the purpose of the Illustration Awards organized by Station P has been achieved.

Thanks for the reward from Fate Qiansheng and Yi Eternal Yi! Thank you so much!
