Tokyo life starting with painting

Chapter 379 What's wrong (8000 words)

The animation production of "Unnatural Death" has ended!

Although it's just a preview film, subtitles haven't even been added yet.

But that's enough.

After all, this is a manga drawn by Higashinoji.

So even if Toshiji Higashino was not involved in the entire animation production this time.

But even if there are no subtitles or sounds, Higashinoji can recall some of the lines in it to some extent.

And although he didn't personally participate in it, Higashino was not stingy at all when it came to the production funding, and everything was based on the funding given by the top masterpieces in the animation industry.

As long as the original animator of Higashino Studio does not have his hands turned into feet, with such sufficient production funds, the quality of "Unnatural Death" will definitely not be bad.

So when I heard Chinatsu Yamayama saying that there was a preview movie to watch.

Higashinoji also cheered up and simply ordered the projector to be taken out.

At the same time, he stopped other original animators who had finished their work and asked them to watch the preview film of "Unnatural Death" with him.

After all, after reading an episode or two, you will definitely need to discuss it and check for any omissions.

The projector was quickly taken out, and Higashino Si sat unceremoniously in the middle, looking up at the preview film of "Unnatural Death".

"Lemon" was not included in the opening song at the request of Higashinoji, but was used as the ending song.

This should remain as much as possible as in the previous life.

Moreover, Higashino also felt that playing "Lemon" as the opening song without any plot foreshadowing would make the song sound a bit forced and sensational.

Yamayama Chinatsu and the others obviously followed this instruction, as the opening song is indeed not "Lemon".

And Higashinoji quickly got into the mood and watched "Unnatural Death" seriously.

Behind him were more than a dozen original animators with somewhat uneasy expressions.

Naturally, among the dozen or so original painters, Chinatsu Yamayama was included.

no way.

Nervous!

Although Shanxia Qianxia felt that she had tried her best and everything had been done to the best of her ability.

If in front of ordinary people, she might even be complacent and praise herself for doing a good job in making this animation.

But that's only in front of ordinary people.

You must know that the person in front of you is Higashino!

My own superior leader!

It's like you are working hard and suddenly your superiors come to check.

Even though you didn’t make any mistakes, you still felt at least a little bit panicked.

This is human nature.

Not to mention that Higashinoji is the well-deserved number one in the Japanese comics industry today.

How high will his requirements for comics and animation be?

Just thinking about it makes Shanxia Qianxia feel a little uneasy, right?

If Higashinoji is really dissatisfied by then, he will definitely criticize her as his second disciple first - that's for sure! Higashinoji had scolded her before.

It’s impossible for Higashinoji to criticize Akisa Kuromiya, a senior disciple, right?

So Chinatsu Yamayama sat uncomfortably next to Higashinoji, watching the screening of "Unnatural Death" and peeking at Higashinoji's expression.

It seemed that he was afraid that he would pull her out and scold her if he got upset.

The entire Dongye Studio was silent.

Only Yano Ryuichi would turn his head and say something to Higashinoji from time to time.

The atmosphere feels heavy.

This is the prestige of Tonoji in Tono Studio.

Even Yano Ryuichi or Seo Daigo, two leaders who also hold important positions, cannot do this.

The staff in the operations department responsible for pixiv operations on the other side looked over curiously.

I don’t quite understand why the usually bustling Tono Studio was so quiet today.

I waited for about twenty minutes.

The first episode is officially over.

The song "Lemon" started playing, and Tonoji couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

To be honest, he was a little surprised.

It’s not that I think “Unnatural Death” was too poorly done, but

How can it be made so well?

It doesn’t look like the work of a newcomer animation studio that has only produced one animation.

This really surprised Tonoji.

Originally, he had actually made psychological preparations that the funds would be sufficient, but the actual results would be mediocre.

But when he really looked at it, Higashinoji realized that his previous worries were somewhat unnecessary.

The actual picture made him very satisfied.

Especially at the end of the first episode.

Mikoto Misumi and Riko Baba completely respect Higashino Tsukasa's original dialogue.

The animated camera zooms out.

At the same time, it was Misumi Mikoto’s voice:

"The bean stuffed buns here are delicious. Let's eat them together."

"Need not."

"You can just take a bite."

"I'm not in the mood right now!"

Ba Chang Luzi choked with sobs and turned his head.

The setting sun dyed the road red, and not far behind was the tram speeding away.

The trains and railroad tracks heading out also symbolize farewell in the Japanese mourning culture.

"It's precisely because I'm not in the mood that I ask for food."

Misumi Mikoto answered softly.

It seemed that he was talking to Ba Changluzi, who had lost his husband and relatives in front of him, and he seemed to be talking to himself.

The sunset is burning, and it seems that all the regrets and lamentations have melted into the boiling sunset.

This section is so beautiful.

Especially the voice acting by Riko Hasegawa.

The character of Mikoto Misumi was brought to life.

This really lives up to her reputation as the strongest voice actress - this is the nickname given to her by her fans on the Internet.

However, since Hasegawa Riko only takes jobs from Higashino Tsukasa, many people on the Internet comment that she is Higashino Studio's dedicated voice actor.

Tonoji shook his head, throwing these digressions away from his mind.

At the same time, he stood up and prepared to praise the original animators of Higashino Studio.

But before Higashinoji could speak, he already realized that something seemed not right.

Why is it so quiet?

No discussion at all?

Higashikata turned his head and looked behind him.

Only then did he realize that everyone was looking at him with wide eyes, and no one dared to say a word.

This made Touyesi speechless for a while.

Why are you staring at me?

The eyes are as big as light bulbs.

"Well, the animation of "Unnatural Death" is very good this time. To be honest, it has exceeded my imagination. Well done."

Higashinoji encouraged him directly.

And it was accompanied by Higashinoji's words of encouragement.

The original artist behind it includes Chinatsu Yamayama, whose originally nervous expression relaxed after saying these words.

What replaced it was an indescribable feeling of recognition.

You must know that Higashinoji can be regarded as an authority in the Japanese comics industry today.

Since he said so, there must be no big problem.

However, the form that should be taken still needs to be taken.

Meetings and discussions.

However, since "Unnatural Death" was already very good, the revisions made at this time were just icing on the cake at best, and there were no major changes that needed to be made.

Likewise, Higashino didn’t forget to take a look at which animation production companies will try out “Unnatural Death” this spring.

First of all, last year, it faced off against MIC Animation Production Company with "The Winner is Justice" produced by Higashino Studio.

Although their last year's work "Takagi-kun Next Door" can be regarded as a big production and achieved good results, it was still unable to lose in the face of "The Winner is Justice", and the disc sales were outsold by "The Winner is the Justice". He threw away more than seven or eight thousand in anger.

In other words, this time can be regarded as their revenge battle.

Similar to last year, they are also preparing a movie about daily youth love this year - this is their family's specialty.

Unlike MIC, last year Westport Pictures did not have a film schedule for this spring season. They have not recovered from their failure in competition last year. It was around July or August this year that they produced a work in the galaxy science fiction genre.

The same goes for Kawaguchi Studio, a long-established animation production company.

Although they would not be knocked unconscious by a set of punches from Higashino Studio, they obviously did not underestimate this opponent like they did last year. Instead, they decided to postpone it for a month to improve the quality of the work and then compete with "Fei Fei" Natural Death" competes for the title of this spring's champion.

Among these studios, perhaps the only one that is firmly established in Diaoyutai is Bird Club, which prefers to produce animations about girls acting cute with each other.

This "Macho" production company has received two more animation bookings from Lily this year, one of which is competing with "Unnatural Death" in the same period.

This bird club is still a loner as always, doing its own thing and not caring about other people's eyes.

But to be honest, Higashinoji didn't pay much attention to the developments of these animation production companies.

After all, these companies can be considered defeated by Higashino Studio.

"Unnatural Death" performed so well, logically speaking, it will not be defeated by them.

Putting them aside, the thing that concerned Higashinoji the most was undoubtedly the behemoth in the animation production industry, Tokyo Animation Production Company.

Last year, Tono Studio was lucky enough to avoid all its animation schedules.

But this year is different.

As soon as spring begins, Higashino Studio's "Unnatural Death" is about to compete with Tokyo Animation Production Company.

The animation produced by the other party this time is also a youth daily animation that they are very good at, called "Hymn of June".

And this time, Tokyo Animation Production Company came with a fierce attack, and took the initiative to send out a promotional video long before Tono Studio.

To be honest, the quality of that promotional video made Toyoshi couldn't help but sigh after watching it - it is indeed a big company, it is really rich.

Dare you imagine?

Even when the heroine steps on the beach, she can see the colorful halo reflected in the splashing water droplets in detail.

Every drop of water has the texture of 'water'.

You know how much manpower and material resources it takes to paint like this.

To put it simply, it is a waste of money.

This is a real waste of money to make animation.

This is a simple two-minute and twenty-six-second promotional video, except for the last ten seconds of introductions by the voice actors, the animation supervisor, the general supervisor, and others.

A lot of money is burned every second.

Many netizens even started to praise this simple two-minute and twenty-six-second promotional video.

It feels like it is being touted as the 'bible of mankind', 'the world is invincible', and the 'spring champion animation schedule'.

Even Higashinoji had to admit it.

The whole promotional video is really well done.

Even the previous promotional video of "The Winner is Right" did not cost as much money as the promotional video of Tokyo Animation Production Company.

As expected, it is the current leader in the Japanese animation industry.

But whether it is the Bible of mankind, whether it is Invincible, or whether it is the Spring Champion animation still needs to be compared to know.

Perhaps the only poor one is MIC Animation Production Company.

The daily animation of youth that they finally produced is undoubtedly inferior to this 'human bible'.

And it's still the same theme. After the car crash, their lives became even more difficult.

With the same theme, the more attractive one is definitely from Tokyo Animation Production Company.

"But the situation is not bad."

Higashikata couldn't help but nodded as he looked at it.

It’s not just Tokyo Animation Production Company.

The reason why Tonoji feels that the situation is great is because this time Tono Studio is also favored by many people.

Maybe it's because "The Winner Is Justice" attracted some fans before.

Higashino Studio no longer looks like a newcomer to the Japanese animation market.

Higashikata felt relieved a little.

You must know that works such as "The Winner Is Justice" and "Unnatural Death" adapted from Higashinoji comics are mainly for the future production of Higashino Studio's classics such as "Castle in the Sky", "Spirited Away" and "My Neighbor Totoro" Animated films lay the foundation for fame.

"Unnatural Death" is officially scheduled for two weeks later.

Now Dongye Studio can finally enter the stage of breathing a sigh of relief.

Higashinoji originally wanted to discuss the next matter regarding the Pixiv website with Yano Ryuichi and Seo Daigo.

But he glanced at the P Station Operations Office and then at the situation inside Higashino Studio, only to realize that Seo Daigo did not come to work today.

This made Tonoji couldn't help but turn his head and ask: "Yano-san, where did Seo-san go today?"

"Ah Seo-san, he asked for a day's leave from the human resources department today, saying he had some urgent matters that needed to be resolved."

Yano Ryuichi answered simply.

"Urgent matter?" Touyesi touched his chin thoughtfully, but did not continue to think further.

After all, Dongye Studio has always had a leave quota.

It is quite humane that everyone has at least three days off in a working season.

Since Seo Daigo was not here, Higashinoji simply called Yano Ryuichi, and the two of them went to formally discuss the matter.

That was while Higashinoji was discussing things with Yano Ryuichi.

On the other side, Seo Daigo took leave but looked at the person in front of him in surprise.

"President Umeki. And Officer Ishihara?"

That's right.

The people who met Seo Daigo were two people from New Iwazuki Publishing House.

One is President Umeki, the actual leader of the Iwazuki Publishing House, and the other is the Ishihara officer who had a big quarrel with him.

This combination is so weird.

Even Seo Daigo had a strange expression on his face.

They look for themselves.

What's the matter?
