Tokyo life starting with painting

Is Dongye Studio planning to go to heaven?

Apart from anything else, releasing trailers to warm up is something that every animation, no, even TV series and movies will do.

But now there are only ten days left before the TV broadcast schedules of "Unnatural Death" and "Hymn of June".

There was still no movement from Dongye Studio.

This, of course, made Tokyo Animation Production Company wary.

To be honest, as a well-known leading company in the industry and a top-level production company in Japanese animation production, generally speaking, it basically does not pay special attention to small workshops like Higashino Studio.

But there is an exception to everything.

An ordinary animation studio really doesn't need to care, but Tono Studio is a little different.

Standing behind it is Higashino Tsukasa, the master of comics——

What is a master?

The word 'master' represents the pinnacle of an industry in Japan, and only a few people are qualified to be called masters.

Tsukasa Higashino is undoubtedly the leader in Japanese comics today.

Especially now that he is young and full of energy.

There is such a person sitting in Tono Studio.

Of course Tokyo Animation Production Company has to be on guard.

In addition, Higashino Studio's previous film "The Winner is Justified" was well-made, with a smooth plot and skilled animation. There is no sense of a newcomer studio at all.

Of course, you have to be careful about this.

But

The other party's attitude of hiding in secret and refusing to take action made Tokyo Animation Production Company a little confused.

Especially the production team of "Hymn of June".

They put a lot of effort into producing a big production and spent a lot of money on it, with the goal of winning the spring championship this time.

If the situation is disrupted by Tono Studio, then everyone will not be held responsible?

As a leading industry, Tokyo Animation Production Company has fierce internal competition.

This is especially true for the golden triangle positions of animation supervision, scripting, and original painting supervision.

If the results cannot be achieved after spending so much money, the Golden Triangle responsible for "June's Hymn" will undoubtedly have fewer opportunities to receive major productions in the future.

Market competition plus internal competitive pressure within the company.

Therefore, everyone in the production team of "Hymn of June" was a little confused by the silence of Dongye Studio.

Please release the trailer quickly!

Hurry up and place your ads!

You should move! Don't be silent!

What does it mean to be silent? Want to go to heaven?

They were simply more anxious than the people at Dongye Studio.

Both wanted to see whether "Unnatural Death" produced by Higashino Studio could have an impact on their "Hymn of June".

After all, known enemies are more threatening than unknown enemies.

The silence of Dongye Studio seemed to be full of bad news, ready to disrupt the situation at the critical moment.

Isn't it like last year when he came up with another "three-minute movie" idea?

After this mental journey, the production team of "Hymn of June" was indeed a little confused.

Also on the same page as them is MIC Animation Production Company.

After the failure of "Takagi-kun Next Door" last year, MIC Animation Production Company actively made changes, carefully selected scripts, and replaced a group of experienced seniors for this animation production.

It is still the daily animation of youth that they are most familiar with.

The title of this broadcast is "Akashi's Bizarre Daily Life", and MIC Animation spent a lot of effort to complete the film.

but--

Why are you so unlucky?

When I saw that I was going to compete with Tokyo Animation and Higashino Studio.

The director responsible for this animation is really about to suffer from depression.

Needless to say, Tokyo Animation is the leader in the industry. Every animation is a high-quality product. MIC Animation simply does not have the ‘capital’ to compete with it.

Yes.

This is true whether it is monetary capital or human capital.

Higashino Studio, on the other hand, defeated their old enemy last time, and despite being full of bad intentions, the quality of the animations they produced was not weak.

Caught between these two companies, MIC Animation was really in trouble and could only bite the bullet and continue to warm up the animation.

It's like going into the ring to compete.

His hands were empty.

The first opponent who is about to take the field is strong and well-capitalized, while the other one is holding back bad news and has an extra dagger in his hand, ready to poke himself at every turn.

What to do about this?

Don’t you have to smile and forgive them?

The president of MIC Animation has been looking a little sad lately.

Of course, Tono Studio doesn’t understand what these two animation companies are thinking.

Seo Daigo and Yano Ryuichi did everything they had to do, and then began to wait for Higashinoji's "Unnatural Death" extra chapter to be officially published in the magazine.

I hope that the popularity of "Unnatural Death" can be maximized through the P station and the additional comics of Tonoji.

They were both equally anxious.

After all, "Unnatural Death" has not received any decent publicity yet.

Although there is a rich foundation of Higashinoji's original work, animation production cannot only rely on the original work.

Even if there is a good plot of the original work, it must be matched with good production.

In essence, the competition between animation productions also depends on the production level of animation production companies.

And Higashino Studio now has to compete with the industry leaders.

The pressure on both of them was equally great.

Even knowing that Higashinoji wouldn't blame them for this matter, they both still felt a lot of pressure.

because

"The original animators in the studio are very motivated this time. It seems that they all want to win a season championship for Mr. Higashino."

Yano Ryuichi drank some wine with Seo Daigo and sighed.

The two of them are taking a break from their busy schedule. After finishing the drinks here, they have to go back to the Toye Studio to work overtime, thinking about how to maximize the value of "Unnatural Death" in the limited advertising space.

"Yeah. I think it's quite novel too."

Seo Daigo tore the charcoal-grilled squid into his hands and chewed it with sake. He was also a little incredible: "The working atmosphere of Higashino Studio is much better than I expected."

These words were not polite words, but his thoughts from the heart.

After these two months of work, he, a newcomer, has finally figured out the operation model of Dongye Studio.

To put it simply, Higashinoji is the leader, and then the studio staff below work according to his instructions.

Higashinoji's cohesiveness is indeed too strong. Usually the president of an animation production company just says a few nice words, saying that he will get a raise after working overtime, but other than this, he has no on-the-spot prestige.

But Higashinoji is different.

At Higashino Studio, he really said one thing is one thing and two things are two things, and no one resisted.

This also makes the integration work stress-free at all.

There are many reasons for this.

Many of the original animators at Higashino Studio were taught by Higashino Tsukasa, and as Higashinoji is a leader in Japanese comics today, many of the original animators below are fans of Higashino Tsukasa. In addition, Higashino Studio’s benefits are very good , as long as you work overtime, you will definitely get overtime pay. Unlike some companies, even if you work overtime, you can’t even think about overtime pay.

But the most important thing is not the above reasons.

Perhaps what convinced Yano Ryuichi and Seo Daigo the most was Higashinoji’s abundant energy.

This guy is really a tough guy.

Normally, I have to maintain nearly fifty pages of "Naoki Hansawa" painting in Higashino Studio.

When "Unnatural Death" came to an end, Higashinoji also worked overtime with the original animator in Higashino Studio.

If there was anything these painters didn't understand or couldn't draw, he would basically do it himself.

It’s also thanks to Higashino Tsukasa’s hands-on approach that “Unnatural Death” ended so well.

Plus the update of "Naoki Hansawa"

Higashinoji usually has to draw until about 11 o'clock in the evening. He even has to postpone it later.

Even Higashinoji, the actual owner of the studio, works so hard.

Of course, the original painter below followed this leader and rushed forward.

It’s no wonder that the atmosphere in Higashino Studio is so good.

The key is that Higashinoji still behaves like a normal person even after working overtime.

After working overtime all night, when I woke up the next day, my face was flushed and I looked energetic.

There is no feeling of sluggishness at all.

This makes many employees of Dongye Studio feel incredible.

Is this a chicken blood injection? Why do you feel more energetic after working overtime all night than if you don’t work overtime at all?

Therefore, Higashinoji's physical fitness has become another mystery for Higashino Studio.

Genius and full of energy, he really deserves to be rich!

Everyone who really couldn't figure it out could only discuss it privately, and reluctantly explained it with the explanation that "Teacher Higashino is still young and his body can hold up."

Higashinoji didn't hear these words, otherwise he would have laughed happily once or twice.

What about Iron Man physique? These are all just conjectures.

Probably because of the system.

Higashinoji's energy is indeed much better than in his previous life.

Even after working all day, I only feel slightly tired.

If it weren't for this extraordinary energy, Toyoji wouldn't be able to do so many things at the same time without getting exhausted.

And while Yano Ryuichi and the others were eating squid in a small izakaya, they were discussing Higashinoji.

On the other side, Higashinoji is sorting out the manga manuscripts in his hands.

The extra chapter of "Unnatural Death" is finally finished.

Higashino looked at the manuscript of the extra chapter at hand and took a sip of water.

After two days of hard work, he finally drew the extra chapter of "Unnatural Death".

It probably talks about some things that are not mentioned in the "Unnatural Death" manga, such as supplementing the setting of Rokuro's family background and the process of getting to know each other and falling in love with his girlfriend.

Anyway, it’s just some supplementary settings.

Higashinoji can now draw this kind of supplementary setting, and he can draw it quite well.

After all, although the plot is not your own, basically anyone can do the icing on the cake of supplementary settings.

"The next thing we have to see is the effectiveness of the publicity."

Yes.

Whether it is successful or not depends on the publicity effect of Tomima Publishing House.

It turns out Tomishima Publishing is no fool.

They also know that this promotion is of great significance to "Unnatural Death" - the use of animation to drive comic sales is nothing new in the industry.

Therefore, Tomishima Publishing House did not hesitate and simply gave this extra chapter the highest treatment.

Not only does it include a color page in the volume, but the side pages also have specific information on the animation of "Unnatural Death".

Only Higashinoji and "Unnatural Death" can enjoy this kind of treatment in the entire Tomishima Publishing House.

After all, "Unnatural Death" is a completed comic.

Generally speaking, the extra chapters of completed comics can only be placed on the last few pages of the publication.

This kind of treatment is rare.

For "Unnatural Death", it can be said that Hosokawa Koharu went all over the editorial department and talked a lot, and finally put "Unnatural Death" into the color page of the volume.

For this reason, she also owes a lot of debts of gratitude.

but

"The results are promising."

Hosokawa Koharu looked a little excited as he watched the readers in front of him investigate.

That's right!

Even after such a long time, the popularity of "Unnatural Death" is still not low at all.

Needless to say, the publicity effect is not to mention that in this reader survey, 78% of readers voted for the option of "Want to see the "Unnatural Death" animation".

After getting the reply from Hosokawa Koharu, Higashinoji also raised his eyebrows and felt a lot more relaxed.

With the help of Tomishima Publishing House, the publicity effect of "Unnatural Death" will definitely be very good.

On the other side, the pixiv website also directly promoted the banner "Unnatural Death".

Just click in to see the trailer for "Unnatural Death".

As one of the top ten largest websites in Japan in terms of traffic, there are countless members who log in every day.

As soon as they entered, they could see the "Unnatural Death" banner that took up a quarter of the entire page.

The publicity effect is self-evident.

There is no need to say anything about Yano Ryuichi.

After all, the effectiveness of traditional media propaganda in 2005 has always been pretty good.

The number of people who clicked on the trailer also jumped up step by step from the five to six thousand views at the beginning.

In just one morning, the number of video playbacks reached 50,000 to 60,000.

Among them, more than 30,000 people learned about "Unnatural Death" through the Internet platform.

"This is too exaggerated."

Looking at the click data that was still jumping upwards, Yano Ryuichi couldn't help but mutter.

Although he had been mentally prepared for it, he was still a little confused by the drastic change in data.

Yano Ryuichi, who had been baptized by traditional newspapers, media and TV programs since childhood, had never thought about it.

Just Pixiv’s website promotion can reach this point.

On the other side, Higashinoji saw this situation but did not have much psychological fluctuations.

As the main information communication tool in the future, the strength of the network does not stop there.

At least during his time in China, there were very few young people watching TV.

Even if I watch TV, I only occasionally watch some of my favorite programs, and I don't stay next to the TV all the time like now.

Most young people pick up their mobile phones and either play mobile games or directly go online to find their favorite programs and videos.

And it's only the beginning.

Higashinoji feels that the promotional effect of this final trailer should be better.

Thanks for the reward from Yuanfen Qiansheng! Thank you so much!
