Tokyo life starting with painting

Chapter 381: Does Dongye Studio Want to Go to Heaven (4100 words)

Iwazhu Publishing House actually wants to recruit Seo Daigo back to the publishing house.

This really surprised Tonoji.

After all, Iwazuki Publishing House is also a giant publishing house in Japan. They actually offered a position as a staff member to poach Seo Daigo back.

Higashinoji can even think of how miserable the comics department of Iwazuki Publishing House is now.

Because giant publishing houses should have no shortage of editor-in-chief-level talents from any perspective.

Now they have found Seo Daigo, and they have also offered such high preferential treatment as a director. This shows that they have probably found several chief editors before, but none of them can compare with Seo Daigo.

You must know that if you want to become a director of Iwazoology Publishing House, at least half of the officers must raise their hands and agree. At the same time, you must have at least more than ten years of experience in Iwazoology Publishing House and have made significant contributions.

Only by completing these three points can you become a director.

It can also be seen from here that the recent situation of "Chiyo", the main manga magazine of Iwazuki Publishing House, is definitely not optimistic.

It's natural just to think about it.

Higashinoji thought of his own manga "Naoki Hansawa".

In the past few weeks of serialization, the number of positive votes for "Naoki Hansawa" has been infinitely close to 900.

Every time I just missed the mark, I could really pass the 900-vote barrier.

The popularity of "Naoki Hansawa" has been rising, which of course makes life more difficult for "Chiyo".

That’s why Yanzhu Publishing House is probably so anxious.

After all, the first publishing house of Japanese comics has become what it is now. This is really sad.

but

"It doesn't have much to do with me."

Tonoji smiled and shook his head.

yes.

This has nothing to do with him.

He just draws his own comics and earns his own little money. As for what "Naoki Hansawa" will be used by Tomishima Publishing House.

That has nothing to do with Higashinoji.

Compared with the matter of "Naoki Hansawa", Higashinoji is now thinking more about the matter of "Unnatural Death".

As mentioned before, "Unnatural Death" did not escape the schedule of the big brother Tokyo Animation Production Company this time.

We have to compete with this big brother of the animation production company for the animation spring championship.

To be honest, this is indeed somewhat difficult.

In addition, Higashinoji is spending his own money to produce this season's "Unnatural Death". The funds are already fully raised, and the goal is to win the spring animation championship.

So even if the big brother of the animation production company blocks the way, he can't get out of the way.

The goal is to become the Spring Animation Champion without wavering!

The goal has been set, then the next step is to achieve the goal.

"Teacher Higashino, we can release the three-minute finished film like last year's "The Winner is Justice", and the post-editing will be very simple."

Yano Ryuichi looked at the small book in his hand, turned his head and asked Higashinoji: "Teacher Higashino, what do you think?"

"This method is indeed feasible, but it is no longer as innovative as it was at the beginning."

Seo Daigo, who was also called over next to him, groaned and spoke.

Yes.

Ever since Higashino proposed the ‘three-minute film’ strategy last year, it has achieved remarkable results.

Many animation production companies are also following the same example, and they all come up with a "three-minute film".

It was even a bit excessive, and he directly shortened a promotional video to five minutes.

It’s just to capture the audience’s attention before it’s released.

However, animation production companies that dare to play "three-minute films" basically have enough production funds to support them, otherwise they will show some defective products to animation enthusiasts

In the end, not only will you not gain fame, but you will also be poked in the nose and scolded.

This year’s spring schedule is similar, with many animation production companies adopting the ‘three-minute film’ strategy.

I was afraid that I would be caught off guard by a set of punches from Higashino Studio like last year, leaving me bruised and bruised.

So what Seo Daigo said about "nothing new" actually makes sense.

The two of them discussed for a while next to Higashinoji, and most of the topics they discussed were newspapers and TV advertisements.

For a while I couldn't make up my mind at all.

After all, the opponent this time is Tokyo Animation Production Company. They must have these resources, and they will only have more than them.

Therefore, even they can't think of any good solution for the time being.

So Yano Ryuichi simply turned around: "Teacher Higashino, do you have any ideas?"

Higashikata didn't speak just now, he seemed to be thinking about something.

Hearing Yano Ryuichi's question at this time, he said: "Let's add some tasks to pixiv. The promotional video of "Unnatural Death" can be placed on the P site, just to borrow the influence of the P site."

"I see. I understand."

Seo Daigo and Yano Ryuu's eyes lit up.

yes.

They have always been obsessed with publicity in traditional media, such as newspapers and TV programs, but they subconsciously forgot about Tono Studio and the website pixiv.

But it’s not their fault.

The Internet is still considered a new media. Most people in Japan only have the impression that it has a weak influence. The main way to obtain information is to read newspapers and TV news.

It was normal for Seo Daigo and the others not to be able to remember for a while.

The topic changed.

The current p station has been in operation for nearly two months.

Different from the weak P station at the beginning, the current P station already has 100,000 registered members and is growing rapidly, with nearly a thousand submissions every day.

Not just in Japan.

Even abroad, the popularity of this website is gradually increasing.

It can be said that the current p station looks different every day.

At the request of Higashino, pixiv rejected many high-priced external advertising spaces.

If the current p station is allowed to promote "Unnatural Death"

The effect of this publicity is definitely no less than that of television and news.

Not to mention that users of p station are basically lovers of animation and illustrations.

This promotion is definitely not weak.

And it’s also the biggest advantage of “Unnatural Death”!

Yano Ryuichi and Seo Daigo just thought about it and felt that Higashinoji's idea was a good one, and it was the kind of idea that could really succeed.

"I will post the promotional video for "Unnatural Death" on the p station later," Seo Daigo said.

Yano Ryuichi also picked up a small notebook and started recording. At the same time, he took the time to ask Higashinoji: "Teacher Higashino, is there anything else you want to add?"

Although Higashinoji is only a manga author, he always has some new insights on animation promotion, which surprised Ryuichi Yano a little.

Last time it was a three-minute video release, this time it’s a Pixiv promotion

This idea is really unimaginable.

Is it possible that all geniuses are like this? Can you get started quickly no matter what you do?

Higashinoji also didn't know what Yano Ryuichi was thinking.

But if he knew, he would probably end up dumbfounded.

What kind of new insight is this?

In the Internet information age of later generations, advertising on web pages is not too common.

Even some novel apps suddenly want to pop up a gadget from the side for you, and you can get coins after watching the video.

This was very upsetting at the time.

But in the era of 2005, this kind of promotional method of placing videos on the side was still rare.

And Higashinoji doesn't just want to promote "Unnatural Death" by relying on this kind of web advertising.

"I will draw one or two extra chapters of "Unnatural Death" in the next few days."

Higashino simply said what he really thought.

The propaganda of station p is a feint at best.

The extra chapter "Unnatural Death" is Higashinoji's real method.

As a national comic, even to this day, the popularity of "Unnatural Death" has not declined at all.

Otherwise, how could it be possible that even that crappy copycat, Horikoshi Hanpei, could rely on the creativity of "Unnatural Death" to be like a fish in water in the "Chiyo" magazine of Iwatsuki Publishing House?

This has taken a lot of interest in the popularity of "Unnatural Death".

But from now on, Higashinoji will start to recover this popularity interest, and the way is to draw additional extras.

The so-called "extra" is actually equivalent to "digression", that is, some plots that have been omitted because of the main plot.

The "Unnatural Death" manga by Higashino Tsukasa is an adaptation of a Japanese drama based on the original world.

In order to make "Unnatural Death" more consistent with the format of the comic and the page count of 23 pages a week, some plots in the comic version of Higashinoji were of course omitted.

And these omitted plots can now be used to draw extra chapters.

At the same time, these extra chapters are used to promote "Unnatural Death" - for example, at the end of the extra chapter, words such as "The animation will be released on XXX TV station" are added.

That's enough.

And the publicity must be huge.

After all, Higashinoji is the real leader in the Japanese comics industry today.

Whether it is the comics of the past or the comics of today.

It's hard to find anyone who can handle three or four moves in Higashinoji's hands.

Especially Seo Daigo.

He has a deep understanding of Higashino Tsukasa's current influence in the Japanese comics industry.

If the name 'Higashinoji' is available, help promote it.

There shouldn't be much of a problem in overwhelming Tokyo Animation's 'Human Bible' head-on.

Several people began to discuss and improve the details before starting to do their own things.

Three days passed in such a busy manner.

And when I received a call from Higashinoji.

Hosokawa Koharu, who was still flipping through this week's "Hese" manga magazine, said in surprise: ""Unnatural Death" extra chapter?"

She was still thinking about what she would do next to make "Naoki Hansawa" the number one movie in Japan.

As a result, Higashinoji called and suddenly said a side story

This left her completely confused.

It was Higashinoji who insisted on finishing "Unnatural Death".

Why is it that Higashinoji called now and wants to start drawing extra chapters again?

She was a little confused.

"What's wrong? Editor Hosokawa? Can't the extra chapter of "Unnatural Death" be used?"

Higashikata thought there was some difficulty, so he asked over there.

"No, there's no difficulty."

"Unnatural Death" is still very popular even now.

Even if a few extra pages of "Unnatural Death" are crammed in, there are probably many fans who want to buy it.

only

"Why did Mr. Higashino suddenly think of releasing an extra chapter? Is there any problem with "Naoki Hansawa"?"

Hosokawa Koharu asked while taking out a notebook to record what Higashinoji said.

"There is no problem with the serialization of "Naoki Hansawa", and editor Hosokawa, you should also know the recent situation of "Unnatural Death", right?"

What's going on lately?

When Higashinoji mentioned this, Hosokawa Koharu understood what he meant.

"Unnatural Death" is a comic published in Tomishima Publishing's magazine.

Koharu Hosokawa certainly knows how it's animated.

"Is it possible that Mr. Higashino wants to use the extra chapter to promote "Unnatural Death"?"

"I have this idea, so I wanted to ask Editor Hosokawa if there are any difficulties."

What's so difficult about this?

Hosokawa Koharu wanted to complain.

Higashino Tsukasa is now the mainstay of Tomishima Publishing House.

And it is also a very popular work like "Unnatural Death".

It’s no problem to draw one or two extra chapters.

By the way, I can also help them promote Tomshima Publishing House.

This is a good thing.

There is no reason why Tomima Publishing House should not do it.

It just increases Hosokawa Koharu's workload somewhat.

After all, she must go to Higashino's house to confirm the original manuscript.

However, the process still has to go through.

Hosokawa Koharu symbolically asked the editor-in-chief Urashima, and after getting permission, he called Higashinoji again.

"That means there's no problem, right?"

Higashinoji asked after listening to Hosokawa Koharu's reply.

"I can't say there's no problem." Hosokawa Koharu coughed twice, feeling a little speechless.

Anywhere in Higashiyesi is good.

Submit manuscripts on time, have no temper, and actively communicate with editors.

But this is too positive.

Hosokawa Koharu estimates that he will have to work overtime for a day or two to produce the new magazine cover.

After all, the addition of the extra chapter "Unnatural Death" will definitely have an impact on the content of the magazine.

For example, if you add more pages, you also need to add more comic titles, introductions, side pages, etc.

In short, there are a lot of things waiting for her to complete.

but

All the main authors of their own have talked about it to this point.

Hosokawa Koharu didn't think too much.

Isn't it just sacrificing a vacation?

Higashino Tsukasa's performance has almost made her the only female deputy editor-in-chief of Tomishima Publishing House.

This little favor will definitely help!

She asked Tonoji to draw the extra chapter completely first, and she would handle the rest by herself.

Then he let out a heavy breath.

Preparation!

at the same time.

Tokyo Animation Production Company, which has collaborated with Higashinoji.

"This spring animation production companies have basically released promotional videos. If we only look at the quality of promotional videos, the quality of our "Hymn of June" should be among the best."

The animation supervisor responsible for this "Hymn of June" is currently holding a regular meeting for analysis.

Just as he said.

If we only look at the quality of the promotional videos for this spring release, then large animation production companies like them, which are big money burners and have no shortage of talents, can be said to have every advantage.

But what makes the director a little confused is the only animation studio that has not made any moves in the spring schedule.

Higashino Studio.

It will be released in just over ten days now.

Apart from the initial animation production video, Tono Studio has not released any promotional videos.

What on earth do you want to do?

You didn’t even send out a promotional video. Do you want to go to heaven?
