Tokyo life starting with painting

There was nothing wrong with the contract given by Akiyoshi Osawa.

It was not much different from the contract he had agreed with Higashinoji.

I have to say that Osawa Akiyoshi is quite graceful, at least he didn't mean to go back on what he said once.

Tonoji asked the lawyer next to him to check it, and when he found that there was no hidden and unnecessary contract, he did not hesitate, picked up the pen, signed his name, and stamped his seal next to it.

The same contract is divided into two parts, one is kept by Higashinoji and the other is kept by Osawa Aikichi.

After the other party also ‘signs and pledges’, the contract officially becomes legally binding.

For every comic published on the Higashino Studio comics online platform, Tomishima Publishing House can receive 5% of the proceeds from the comics. This treatment is not bad, and Tomishima Publishing House does not need to spend any effort to promote it.

Of course Osawa Aikichi agreed.

"In the near future, I will ask Daigo Seo of our studio to receive the manga data from Tomishima Publishing House."

Higashikata nodded with satisfaction.

Yes.

The comic image data of Tomishima Publishing House is basically saved on a computer for later use in the production of other peripherals.

But it will definitely take time to sort it out.

Therefore, Higashino plans to ask Seo Daigo or Yano Ryuichi to take over the data later.

Higashinoji stood up, shook hands with Osawa Akiyoshi of Tomishima Publishing House, and then turned around and left.

Looking at Higashinoji's leaving figure, Osawa Aikichi pinched his chin and frowned.

Higashinoji must have something planned.

But he still couldn't understand what the other party wanted to do.

So to be honest, Osawa Aikichi is still a little confused.

"Let's take a look at the situation." Osawa Akiyoshi muttered, and by the way, people paid close attention to Higashino Studio's online comic platform.

If Higashinoji can really build an online comic platform, then they can also launch their own online comic platform.

But when that time comes.

To some extent, Tono Studio is also their competitor.

This cannot be relaxed at all.

Osawa Akiyoshi made a decision.

at the same time.

Higashinoji exhaled comfortably after walking out of Tomishima Publishing House.

fine.

To be honest, when Osawa Akiyoshi asked Higashinoji about the details of the webcomic, Higashinoji was a little nervous.

Fortunately, the other party obviously has not seen the prospects of the online comic platform.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been fooled by Higashinoji's excuses.

This time, Higashinoji was able to get the contract without any danger.

However, Osawa Akiyoshi's reaction can be regarded as a wake-up call for Higashinoji.

The rise of Pixiv website has given him some clues.

Although Osawa Akiyoshi was not sure yet, even so, Higashinoji couldn't help but sigh with such a keen sense of smell - he was indeed the top entrepreneur in the publishing industry.

Just a sign can be grasped so keenly.

Higashinoji could almost imagine it.

If Higashino Studio's online comic platform takes off, Osawa Akiyoshi will definitely follow suit and also build a website for the online comic platform.

Although Higashino Division still applied for patents and other rights for the design of Higashino Comics Platform.

But with the financial resources and publicity resources of Tomishima Publishing House, it would definitely not be a big problem to design a website similar to Higashino Comics Platform.

Dongye Studio can only rely on foresight and take the lead.

Thinking of this, Higashinoji also quickly returned to Higashino Studio.

Start preparing for the Tono comics platform!

Two more days passed.

Tomishima Publishing officially announced its cooperation with Higashino Studio to operate an online comic platform——

As soon as Hosokawa Koharu sat down, he was stopped by Editor Oshima next to him: "Team Leader Hosokawa, have you heard?"

Um?

"What did you hear?"

Editor Oshima's mysterious and nagging look made Hosokawa Koharu look puzzled.

She had just gone to the marketing department to discuss the publication of Higashinoji's "Hansawa Naoki" setting collection, and asked the other party not to come up with settings with titles like "Super·Hansawa Naoki" or "Main·Hansawa Naoki" Come on, just have some normal stuff.

After finally convincing the other party, she was stopped by Editor Oshima when she came back.

What kind of gossip is this?

To be honest, Hosokawa Koharu is not really interested in these gossips.

However, due to the communication between colleagues, although she was not interested, she still listened to Editor Oshima's words.

"This matter is related to Mr. Dongye."

Um?

"Is it related to Mr. Higashino?" Hosokawa Koharu's eyes suddenly lit up: "Can you reveal the details to me?"

Her eyes lit up, completely forgetting that she was a little impatient just now.

Seeing that Hosokawa Koharu was interested, Editor Oshima did not hesitate and told Hosokawa Koharu all the gossip he had heard:

"I heard from others that Mr. Higashino's Higashino Studio seems to be planning to develop into the Internet."

"How to develop into the Internet?" Hosokawa Koharu was a little dazed after hearing what Editor Oshima said.

network.

That is a media that has gradually emerged in recent years.

Although it is gradually emerging, due to Japan's national characteristics and Japan's long-standing habit of "awesome type", the Internet, an emerging information media, has not actually attracted too much attention.

Including Hosokawa Koharu, she couldn't understand why Tonoji wanted to invest in the Internet, an emerging information media.

"What I heard is that Mr. Higashino wants to develop an online comic reading platform."

"Huh? Why should we develop a platform for reading online comics?"

Hosokawa Koharu was a little surprised: "With the financial resources of Higashino Studio, it shouldn't be a problem to directly establish a comic magazine department, right? It's obvious that paper magazines are starting to rise again."

Yes.

According to statistics, the recent sales of "He Shi" have fluctuated around 3.9 million copies, and are expected to exceed 4 million copies.

"Cold", which was about to drop 1.5 million copies in the past, recently sold more than 2 million copies.

This is the real big profit.

webcomic

What prospects could this hold?

Hosokawa Koharu was a little confused.

"I don't know either. This decision by Higashino Studio is indeed quite strange. We have obviously made a lot of fame and money through the animation production of "Unnatural Death" before. Why are you still thinking about developing on an online platform?"

Editor Oshima shook his head, also a little strange.

However, Editor Oshima obviously does not have a good relationship with Higashinoji like Koharu Hosokawa.

He chatted with Hosokawa Koharu for a few words, then turned around and went back to his work.

Only Hosokawa Koharu was left to continue thinking.

Online comic reading platform.

Can this...can this gain momentum?

"Although I know Mr. Higashino very well, I also know that he rarely does things that are uncertain."

"A platform that can be read online. This is too much."

Is it too unknown?

The risk is a little too great.

Unless Higashinoji is really from the future.

Otherwise it would be impossible to predict subsequent developments.

Hosokawa Koharu did sometimes feel that Higashinoji was an incredible young man.

but

To say that he is from the future would be an exaggeration.

Hosokawa Koharu did not continue thinking.

However, she still felt that as a friend, she should remind Higashinoji not to be too impulsive.

She thought so.

And on the other side——

The moment Tomishima Publishing announced that it would cooperate with Higashino Studio to pilot the Higashino online comic platform, it attracted a lot of attention.

It also includes many entertainment sections, publishing industry sections, and even some financial magazines and newspaper news.

They generally have a pessimistic view of Tono Studio's decision to enter the Internet.

To put it mildly, it may be that Higashino Studio’s decision was a bit reckless.

If you take the initiative to enter the Internet industry from the physical animation and comics industry without proper preparation, there is a high probability that you will directly hit a wall.

Those who spoke unkindly said directly that Higashinoji didn't understand business at all.

Most of the Internet is still an unknown area. He relied on good luck to operate the Pixiv website. Is it possible that he will rely on good luck to operate the comic reading platform this time?

This is impossible no matter how you think about it!

You can get good luck in business once, but twice or three times... this is a bit too funny.

Among them, Shifu Kawanishi, a financial commentator who came from the United States to study abroad, said that doing so would definitely encounter Waterloo.

In short, the outside world is full of pessimism, and it is obvious that they do not believe that Higashino Studio is really capable of creating a comic version of "P Station".

The intensity of this bad-mouthing even vaguely affected Higashino Studio.

Even Yano Ryuichi, who was still on vacation outside, hurriedly gave up his vacation when he heard the news and immediately ran back to Higashino Studio.

This situation made Higashinoji also laugh for a while, and felt that Yano Ryuichi was making too much of a fuss.

But Yano Ryuichi obviously didn't think so. He was originally not very optimistic about the comic version of the p site. That is to say, Higashinoji was pressing hard, so he looked for network designers to invest in the cost.

Nowadays, so many ‘economists’, ‘keyboard warriors’ and ‘trolls’ all express their disapproval.

Of course he would feel uneasy.

Especially those who talk about the economy, the current industry development prospects, and even the development status of Dongye Studio. People who don't know the situation think that Dongye Studio will close down tomorrow.

"Teacher Higashino, can Higashino comics really develop?"

Yano Ryuichi couldn't help but ask.

"Of course it can be developed."

Tonoji replied with a smile.

"But those comments outside."

"Let them comment if they want to." Higashino thought it was funny.

Is it possible that these commentators can still say that their Dongye Studio has closed down?

This is obviously impossible.

Higashinoji didn't pay much attention to these noises outside from the beginning.

only.

"It's indeed a bit exaggerated."

Higashikata muttered.

Their Higashino Studio just announced that they will establish an online comic reading platform.

Why do so many people jump out to sing the opposite tune?

And so fast? So neat?

If you want to say that there is no pusher behind, Higashinoji will definitely not believe it.

So Higashino sighed deeply and sent someone to investigate the backstage of Kawanishi Shifu, who had been the most aggressive in various TV interviews recently.

Then he discovered——

Isn't this the person from Yanzhu Publishing House, his old acquaintance?

This Shifu Kawanishi seems to have a connection with Iwatsu Publishing House. His sister or younger sister is the wife of a director of Iwatsu Publishing House.

Then the answer is obvious.

This time, the off-market move was mainly used by Iwazhu Publishing House to target Tomishima Publishing House.

Because Higashino Studio cooperates with Tomishima Publishing House, the fire will come to Higashino Studio.

This left Higashikata speechless for a while.

Perhaps this means that the friend of the enemy is the enemy.

Yanzhu Press put him on the grill and grilled it.

but

"do not worry about it."

Higashinoji spoke.

Now that he knows that Iwazhu Publishing House is responsible, Higashinoji doesn't have to worry about it anymore.

Continue to promote the Tono Comics website!

The most important thing is the publicity on pixiv.

Station p is now equivalent to a training base for backup writers of Higashino Comics.

There are many authors with different painting styles and excellent works.

At the same time, the people on the other side were busy preparing for the trial operation of the Dongye comics website.

But after doing these things, another problem appeared in front of Toyesi.

“Where should I start looking for a comics editor for the website?”

Higashikata sighed, not knowing where to start.

He has been drawing comics for two and a half years this year, and he also knows many comic editors.

But those people were all editors of Tomishima Publishing House or other publishing houses—all of them were famous.

It's impossible for him, Higashinoji, to just swing his hoe and ignore the consequences.

Some people may think of Seo Daigo, the former comics editor-in-chief of Iwazuki Publishing House.

But the situation today is different from before.

The development speed of pixiv website is much faster than Higashino imagined.

Even Seo Daigo would not be able to take care of the Higashino manga website and the pixiv website at the same time.

Everything is back to square one——

"Short of people."

Tonoji touched his chin.

Now preparations for the Dongye comics website have been completed.

Higashino Division is short of someone who is particularly capable, has a good relationship with him, and can be the editor-in-chief.

He searched in his mind and finally thought of someone——

Hosokawa Koharu!

yes!

Hosokawa Koharu is a very good candidate!

When it was serialized by Tomishima Publishing House, Hosokawa Koharu took care of most of Tonoji's affairs.

Sometimes she worked overtime because of Higashinoji's affairs, but she had no regrets.

In addition, Higashinoji has been friends with her for two or three years, and she can be regarded as a rare relative and friend in Tomishima Publishing House.

Now Higashinoji also has a personal cooperation with Tomishima Publishing House, so he asked Osawa Akiyoshi to temporarily lend Hosokawa Koharu over.

This is definitely not a big problem!

"Then the key is editor Hosokawa's own ideas."

Higashinoji groaned, and just when he was about to call Hosokawa Koharu——

The cell phone rang.

Tonoji picked up the phone and took a look.

It just so happened that Hosokawa Koharu called!
