Tokyo life starting with painting

PW animation production company.

As mentioned before, this is the predecessor of Higashino Studio.

During the production of "The Winner Is Justice", PW Animation Production Company was maliciously set on fire, putting the entire animation production company in danger.

After that, Higashino added the uninjured personnel of the former PW Animation Production Company to the establishment of Higashino Studio.

The production of "Winner is Right" has been resumed.

Yano Ryuichi is the former original painting supervisor of PW Animation Production Company.

However, after Higashinoji, who was more skilled in drawing, replaced his position, he was promoted one level higher than usual, making him the only animation supervisor of Higashino Studio now.

After all, while he is the original painting supervisor, he also has experience in animation supervision.

Even now, there are still many old members of PW Animation Production Company in Higashino Studio.

Therefore, the news that a former employee of PW Animation Production Company has recovered and been discharged from the hospital has made Higashino feel refreshed.

Experienced animators are a rare commodity in any animation studio or company.

After these former employees of PW Animation Production Company are discharged from the hospital, there is a high probability that they will return to Tono Studio, which has inherited most of the legacy assets of PW Animation Production Company.

Thinking of this, even Higashikata couldn't help but nodded.

That's good news indeed.

Higashino Studio will add a lot of help this time.

He had heard from Ryuichi Yano before that there were several supervisors and special effects engineers such as sound reverberation who were hospitalized and treated until today. These happened to be the personnel that Higashino Studio was lacking.

So Higashinoji was still in a good mood.

"Teacher Higashikata, do you need my help?"

Seo Daigo, who was called over by Higashinoji, asked.

"Seao-san, I'm sorry, I really have something to trouble you with."

Higashinoji smiled and explained what happened at the former PW Animation Production Company.

Then he added: "Sorry, Seo-san, this matter should have been left to Yano-san."

Yes.

It would be best to let Yano Ryuichi talk to these acquaintances from the former PW Animation Production Company.

However, Yano Ryuichi is currently in Hokkaido and has one or two days before he can return to the studio, so he can only leave it to Seo Daigo.

"So that's it." Seo Daigo also smiled after listening to Higashinoji's words: "I understand, Mr. Higashino, I'll do it right away."

As the former editor-in-chief of Xinyanzhu Publishing House, he is actually no stranger to such matters of outbound negotiation.

It's just a matter of getting a few people back, which is not a difficult task for him at all.

This is also Seo Daigo’s confidence.

He nodded in agreement with a smile and left with a few people's information.

Higashinoji also glanced at the information of former PW Animation Production Company personnel on the desktop.

Perhaps what Higashinoji is most interested in is Toshichi Mita, the former general animation director of PW Animation Production Company.

It seems that most of the animation production of the former PW Animation Production Company was done by him.

And basically he serves as the general supervisor of animation production.

If "The Winner Is Justice" had not been maliciously set on fire during the production of "The Winner Is Justice", it is estimated that "The Winner Is the Justice" would have been produced by the other party.

In terms of supervisory experience, even Yano Ryuichi is probably a little behind him.

And according to the information, Toshimichi Mita seems to be very popular in the original PW animation production company. Basically, just by calling him, many people will work overtime together.

This seems to be a very capable man.

But some capable people also believe too much in their abilities. To be more precise, they have high ambitions and low ambitions, and are very arrogant.

Higashinoji heard from Yano Ryuichi that Toshimichi Mita seemed to have quarreled with the president of PW Animation Production Company several times before over animation production issues.

But in the end it was the result of the president of PW Animation backing down and making concessions.

After all, at that time, the only thing PW Animation Production Company could offer was Toshimichi Mita, the general animation supervisor, and the old employees inside had great trust in his abilities. They even vaguely formed something like a faction.

When he saw this, Higashino just hoped that Toshimichi Mita wouldn't be as arrogant as he was at PW Company - Higashino wouldn't spoil him.

After all, Higashinoji has seen too many capable people.

Just an animation supervisor.

Tonoji shook his head and shook this thought out of his mind.

It's too early to draw conclusions now.

Higashinoji hasn't even met Mita Toshichi yet, so he can't always think in a bad direction.

But he was mentally prepared for the worst.

"Let's take a look at the information of a few other people."

Higashino sighed, and turned to take a look at the employee information of several other PW animation productions.

Most of these PW animation production employees were severely burned at the time.

I have been recovering in the hospital for more than half a year, and it is not until today that I have officially recovered.

Higashinoji also needs to think carefully about the treatment of their return.

He sat at the table and thought, and drew one or two pages of the original manuscript of "Hanzawa Naoki".

Two or three hours passed like this, and finally a call came from Seo Daigo.

"Hello? Teacher Higashino?"

"What's wrong? Seo-san?" Tonoji answered the phone and asked simply.

"Teacher Higashino, things are getting a little complicated."

Seo Daigo's tone over there was a bit unspeakable.

Um?

Things are a bit complicated?

Higashinoji raised his eyebrows as he listened to Seo Daigo's words.

To be honest, he didn't think the task assigned to Seo Daigo this time was that complicated.

It was nothing more than asking him to convince the original PW animation production employees.

In addition, the current Tono Studio is considered half of the former PW Animation Production Company. It should not be a big problem to bring back these old employees who have just recovered.

This task is definitely not difficult.

But since Seo Daigo said that the situation is complicated,

It's probably because Toshimichi Mita's employees didn't agree.

"Is there something wrong with Mita Toshinichi?" Higashino asked.

"Something did go wrong. I'd better report the details to you, Mr. Higashino, after I come back."

He groaned, "I know, then I'll wait for Seo-san to come back."

Higashinoji hung up the phone and waited for Seo Daigo to come back.

at the same time--

"Huh!" Seo Daigo, who was standing next to the sink in the restaurant, exhaled.

To be honest, he is not in a particularly good mood right now.

First, because the task assigned to him by Higashiyesi was not difficult, but he did not complete it, which made him feel unworthy of Higashinosu's expectations.

On the other hand, it was because of the conditions put forward by Toshinichi Mita and the others.

"This doesn't mean having a good conversation at all."

Seo Daigo shook his head.

He got up and walked outside.

We still have to go back to Higashino Studio to report to Mr. Higashino.

About half an hour later, Seo Daigo returned to Higashino Studio.

"Are the conditions proposed by Mita and the others too excessive?" Tonoji looked at Seo Daigo in front of him and asked directly.

Logically speaking, dealing with this kind of matter is Seo Daigo's strength. Since there is no agreement, it must be because the conditions proposed by the other party are unacceptable.

"It's not that the conditions are excessive or not excessive, it's that Mita and the others have no intention of having a serious conversation at all."

Seo Daigo did not mean to hide it, and told Higashinoji the conditions proposed by Mita Toshido.

First of all, there is the issue of position. Toshimichi Mita hopes that he can still win the position of general animation director like he did at PW Company.

This condition is already too much. You must know that the current position of animation director of Higashino Studio belongs to Yano Ryuichi.

Send Toshimichi Mita to the position of general supervisor, what should Yano Ryuichi do?

It's impossible for Higashinoji to ignore the tears of the old ones just to make the new ones laugh, right?

This is undoubtedly a shameful act of betrayal.

In addition, Yano Ryuichi has worked with Higashinoji for so long, and he has worked hard without credit. He is a comrade of Higashino camp - this item is impossible to agree to.

As for the second item, Toshimichi Mita hopes to have the absolute say in animation production like he did at PW.

This is even more impossible, and to put it bluntly, it is simply targeting the main creative team members such as Yano Ryuichi and Higashino Tsukasa.

The absolute right to speak in animation production means that even Higashinoji has to listen to his ideas in animation production.

This is even more impossible.

There is a huge gap between the working environment of Higashino Studio and PW Animation Production Company.

Perhaps the PW company focuses on the authoritarian creation of Toshichi Mita, but here at Higashino Studio, it is more about collaboration. Three stooges can even stand up to one Zhuge Liang.

So it is impossible to agree to this at all.

When he heard this, Higashinoji finally understood.

This Toshinichi Mita is really the kind of person who has high ambitions but low intentions, and is full of arrogance.

Since it is impossible to agree to these two points, there is no need to talk about the following issues such as salary and benefits.

No wonder Seo Daigo found it so difficult to talk about.

"But Mita also compiled a list of the excellent animations he produced in the past and showed me in a table that the sales of the discs were pretty good."

Seo Daigo said, while taking out a piece of statistical data from the folder on the side.

Higashikata took it and took a look.

It's actually pretty good.

Basically, the sales volume of each animation volume can reach more than 10,000 pieces. You must know that PW Animation Production Company was just a slightly larger workshop at the beginning.

Each volume can be produced to this extent, which can be regarded as a high-quality product.

"I came back today to discuss with you, Mr. Higashino, the treatment of Toshinichi Mita. Just looking at this statistics, he should be a good talent."

Seo Daigo continued: "He and I agreed to meet again at this time tomorrow."

He was about to continue speaking when he heard Higashinoji's answer:

"No need to meet again, just refuse."

"Huh?" Seo Daigo couldn't help but open his mouth after hearing Higashinoji's words.

He knew that Dongye Studio was currently in a period of expansion and was in short supply of talent.

But I didn’t expect Higashinoji to be so decisive and reject such an experienced supervisor so easily.

Seo Daigo didn’t even know how to evaluate Higashinoji.

This young man who usually smiled and was cheerful once again made him feel a little surprised.

But apart from being surprised, he also felt a little respect inexplicably.

"Teacher Higashino"

"I know what you mean, Seo-san."

Tonoji flipped through the statistics table again, then threw it into the trash can beside the table: "But let's reject it. Tono Studio does not need an animation supervisor who is still complacent about previous results."

Yes.

Past honors are no longer honors. People who always focus on their previous achievements will definitely not achieve much in the end.

As for the animation supervisor who is complacent about his past achievements and has made so many demands - even if you give it to Higashinoji for free, Higashinoji doesn't need it at all.

Not to mention I have to feel wronged by Yano Ryuichi

This is even more impossible.

Who gave you the courage to target Yano Ryuichi's position?

Originally, Tonoji was still thinking about how to deal with their treatment issue.

But now it seems that there should be no need to deal with it at all.

"Perhaps Toshinichi Mita was an indispensable part of PW animation production in the past, but his value in Higashino Studio is far less than that of Yano-san, so let's stop here."

Higashinoji smiled and said, "Besides, our Higashino Studio's disc sales of "Unnatural Death" this time are better than those sold by Tokyo Animation."

The implication is already very clear.

If you can't reach an agreement, stop talking and don't waste any more time.

"I understand, Mr. Higashino."

Seo Daigo also nodded after hearing Higashinoji's words.

While he admired Higashinoji's decisiveness, he was also amused by Toshinichi Mita who made the request.

Perhaps the other party feels that Higashino Studio, like PW Company, cannot do without him?

But he probably didn't expect that he would be given up so easily.

"By the way, Mr. Higashino, there are also a few employees who have a particularly good relationship with Mita Toshinichi. They all expressed their hope to receive the same preferential treatment as Mita."

"Reject them all."

This time Higashinoji didn't hesitate and answered directly.

Isn't this a faction?

The big brother, Toshimichi Mita, eats meat, and the people in his faction eat soup.

Taking a step back, even if it is not a faction, there are already signs of it.

In this regard, Higashinoji's attitude is to directly eradicate the root cause and will never be used to it.

"Okay, I understand. I will inform Mita and the others later."

Seo Daigo nodded.

Next to her, Chinatsu Yamayama, who had been drawing but listening to Higashinoji and Seo Daigo’s conversation, couldn’t help but stick out her tongue——

Teacher Higashino is too decisive, right? !

That's Toshimichi Mita!

Chinatsu Yamayama is an artist apprentice who stayed from the PW animation production period.

When I joined PW Animation Company, I heard a lot of discussions about Toshinichi Mita.

The other party is very popular in PW Animation Company, and many old employees are very convinced by his words.

Unexpectedly, he was kicked out by Higashinoji.

"Sure enough, Mr. Higashino is the smiling killer type! Fortunately, I didn't make any mistakes. Otherwise, I would have been severely punished by Mr. Higashino."

Chinatsu on the mountain muttered to herself.

Higashino always has a smile on his face, but he won't hesitate to kill you at the critical moment.

horrible! Terrible!
