Tokyo life starting with painting

Chapter 408 Who is suitable (4000 words)

"Apologise?" Konoe Ryoka and Higashinoji sat on the edge of the bed together, showing a puzzled expression.

She finally recovered from the shy state where she almost jumped off the building.

Now she was just a little confused.

Because she had no idea what was going on.

Why did Touyoshi suddenly apologize to himself?

"I've been a bit sorry to you over the past few months. I've been busy with the work at hand, so I just wanted to say sorry to you."

Higashinoji smiled and nodded. Although he looked calm and calm, the apology in his tone was not fake at all.

This was indeed something he did wrong.

I left my girlfriend alone for months and even half a year without even seeing her.

Thanks to Konoe Ryoka.

If it were the little girls he knew in his previous life.

Not to mention not seeing each other for half a year, just a day or two without a WeChat call to catch up, it would probably feel like the world is falling apart.

What about ‘Have you changed’, ‘Have you not liked me anymore’, ‘Is the game more important or me? ’ ‘Is work more important or me? ’ The golden words will be thrown in your face soon.

A girl like Konoe Ryoka who doesn't talk much and has a gentle personality.

This is no longer a level that is difficult to find with a lantern.

It’s hard to find it even with that kind of deep dive light!

Listen to Higashinoji's excuse.

Konoe Ryoka was also stunned for a moment.

She was stunned and turned to look at Touyesi. Her throat moved, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she still didn't say anything.

She just lowered her head, covered her cherry pink lips, and took a deep breath

The reason why Konoe Ryoka made this move is actually very simple.

She didn't want her emotions to get too excited.

Some people may think that Konoe Ryoka's actions are a bit exaggerated.

But for her who is naturally introverted and gentle, it is impossible to say that she doesn't care at all.

Because Higashinoji is her boyfriend.

Her boyfriend hasn't taken the initiative to see her for a long time. Most of the time, she goes to Higashino's house by herself.

This of course worries Konoe Ryoka

She is not like other girls who make excuses for everything from men.

So the first time she thought about it, was there something wrong with her that made Toyoji dislike her?

With such uneasiness in mind, Konoe Ryoka made a special trip to ask Fujiwara Aoi for advice on how to put on makeup, or bought clothes that were popular among girls this year.

It's just that the clothes she bought didn't make her look slim, but made her look bigger.

This made Konoe Ryoka particularly depressed - she wanted to wear it to show Higashinoji.

Uneasy.

have a bee in one's bonnet.

Konoe Ryoka is a girl who doesn't talk much. All her thoughts are hidden in her heart, and it may not be obvious on the surface.

But she was still a little uneasy.

Just now, she had thought that Toyoshi was going to apologize to her for breaking up.

At this time, after getting the answer, she finally felt relieved.

"I don't blame Asi."

Konoe Ryoka took a deep breath and said to Higashinoji.

It is a matter of pride in Japan that your boyfriend rushes for his career.

She can understand.

but--

"Well." Konoe Ryoka raised her head and lowered it again: "Although I can understand Asa, I still don't want to not see Asa for a long time."

Her voice was trembling a little, as if just making this request to Tonoji had used up all her courage.

"I want to see Asi more."

Konoe Ryoka's eyes were gentle, not as piercing as Higashinoji imagined, and her eyes were still shining.

Higashino suddenly felt a sense of illusion.

He felt as if he could feel the color of the world from this gaze.

The orange-red color of the sunset is reflected in the black, and the thick light dances in it.

Black and orange blend with each other.

It's like a warm light that trembles with the waves on the water.

warmth.

This word suddenly popped up in Higashikata's mind, and then he couldn't help but shake his head, it was a bit funny.

Why do I act like a little boy and am stunned when I look at the face of a little girl?

but

Konoe Ryoka's eyes are indeed beautiful.

It's like light is shining through.

Faced with such a look and such a trivial request.

Of course Higashino didn't hesitate: "I understand. I will try to see you every week from now on."

Let Konoe Ryoka become his girlfriend.

Now he has decided to take Konoe Ryoka seriously.

After receiving this answer from Higashinoji, Konoe Ryoka was also very happy.

Her face turned red, and she hugged Toyoshi and didn't let go for a long time.

Maybe this is the limit of what she can do right now.

As for further intimate actions, Higashinoji needs to push for it.

Later, Higashinoji also received unexpected news from Konoe Ryoka.

Higashino Chihaya is actually quite worried about him.

However, Chihaya Higashino is more worried about Higashinoji's physical problems than emotional problems.

I have to work every day at Higashino Studio.

I still have to draw the original manuscript of "Hansawa Naoki" when I get home.

At a time when "The Lonely Gourmet" also needed a manuscript, Higashinoji needed to rush the manuscript even more.

This kind of sitting on a chair all day long without moving the body.

Of course Higashino Chihaya is worried.

So during the very tight time in her third year of high school, she managed to find some time to learn how to make healthy meals.

And as soon as these words were said, Touyoshi was inexplicably moved.

Although Higashino Chihaya is usually mumbling and noisy.

But fundamentally, she still cares about herself.

But there will be nothing wrong with Higashinoji's body.

The system has stipulated his body. As long as Higashinoji doesn't commit suicide, it will probably always be in a healthy state.

However, Higashino Chihaya is already satisfied that Higashino Chihaya has this intention.

In order to prevent Konoe Ryoka and Higashino Chihaya from thinking wildly, Higashinoji also stayed at home peacefully for three days.

By the way, I also requested Tomishima Publishing House to stop publishing the chapter "Naoki Hansawa" and made time for it.

But what Higashinoji didn't expect was that his suspension of publication would actually make the entire "Heshi" editorial department tense up.

Originally, taking a break from publishing was something that any comic book author would experience, and it was considered a normal thing.

After all, we are all individuals who will experience birth, old age, and illness. This is an experience that everyone will have.

But Higashikata is closed?

That's different.

You must know that Higashino Tsukasa is the leading author of "He Shi" today, and no one can shake his status, especially "Hansawa Naoki".

In addition, except for "Unnatural Death", which has been suspended several times, Higashinoji has always been an author who doesn't need anyone to worry about.

He simply said, "I want to take a few days off." He said that he would suspend publication. The readers below and some newspapers and magazines did not agree.

It was just the first week that "Hansawa Naoki" was closed, and "Heshi" was very busy, busy dealing with those readers.

Some newspapers and magazines even started to fabricate all kinds of news as if they smelled big news.

There are all kinds of contents.

Some say that Higashinoji has exhausted his talents, while others say that Higashinoji's family suffered some kind of misfortune.

Some newspapers went even further, directly fabricating an article that said, "The youngest manga master in history, Higashino Tsukasa, is terminally ill and may not be able to hold a pen in the future."

With their attitude, they almost didn't publish an obituary for Higashinoji.

Thanks to these people too.

Nakano Arisa and other people from Higashino Studio bombarded Higashinoji with phone calls for a day, followed by a call from Fujiwara Aoi to express condolences. There were even calls from Kumamoto Prefecture, asking if something had happened to Higashinoji, the father of Kumamon.

Of course, the most exaggerated thing is Yumi Takahashi who competes in kendo outside.

She immediately abandoned the game that was still going on and ran over from the venue to see if Higashinoji was okay.

This little girl is really a fool.

If you really have a problem, wouldn't it be enough to just make a phone call?

Doesn't the result of the game matter?

Fortunately, Higashinoji called someone to urgently send Takahashi Yumi back to the competition site, so she barely made it.

Otherwise, things would be a bit complicated.

After all, Takahashi Yumi must actively participate in the competition to win awards now, and she will also receive bonus points in the second college test and even interviews.

As a result, this idiot ran back directly.

Takahashi Yumi's move made Tonoji feel speechless and a little touched at the same time.

Three days passed uneasily like this.

Higashinoji could be regarded as re-adjusting his mental state at home and returning himself to his best condition.

Really my energy is back to its peak.

At least Higashino felt a lot more relaxed all over his body.

He returned to Higashino Studio.

In addition to him, other members of the animation production team of Dongye Studio have also lost their previous fatigue after taking a few days of rest.

Relaxation is indeed the most important thing.

Higashinoji didn't wait any longer and quickly asked them to start the animation production of "Spirited Away".

"Spirited Away", as the pinnacle of all Miyazaki's works, is naturally not that simple to produce.

Just two or three days after starting production according to the production process, various problems emerged.

“Still don’t understand something about watercolor painting?”

Looking at the young male beside him, Tonoji touched his chin.

This young man's name is Ishii Shinichi, and he has been working at Higashino Studio for half a year. He is regarded as highly regarded by Yano Ryuichi and has reached the position of a team leader.

And it is this kind of talent who expresses difficulties when he comes up

Of course Tonoji also paid attention to it.

The watercolor coloring that Shinichi Ishii talks about is actually referring to Miyazaki Hayao's unique watercolor coloring method.

Now in 2005, most animation coloring is done directly on the computer, which saves both time and money.

But in order to restore "Spirited Away", Higashinoji directly asked these original painters to color the line drawings directly with watercolors.

This makes some painters feel a little embarrassed.

Some painters at Higashino Studio simply don’t understand how to paint.

Some people may think this is strange. Since you are a professional painter, hand-painted watercolors should be a very simple matter.

But from a practical point of view, some people don't know how to do it. Even if they are professional painters, they are not really omniscient and omnipotent in all painting methods.

After all, painting has its strengths and weaknesses.

For example, some people are good at line drawing, and some people are good at coloring.

only

"I should have taught you three times."

Higashikata sighed.

Yes.

He has taught it three times.

I originally thought that as a professional artist, I would be able to adjust quickly and perfect the "Spirited Away" sketch.

But now it seems that he is overthinking.

"Then let's just do this. The painters who are not good at coloring and the painters who are good at coloring are divided into two groups, the first original painting group and the second original painting group."

Higashino made adjustments very simply and divided the entire Higashino studio into two groups.

One group is responsible for line drawing, and the other group is responsible for coloring.

In this way, the coloring problem can be roughly solved.

As for the manpower allocation issue, it is Yano Ryuichi's problem.

Higashinoji doesn't care about this.

Besides, he has many tasks at hand.

He also wanted to paint the original painting.

Moreover, the original paintings that Higashinoji wants to draw are much more difficult than those of these original painters.

Some difficult and perhaps classic scenes were all left to him to create.

For example, take the scene where Chihiro and the faceless man sit on the water train seat together.

Another example is the scene where Chihiro holds up her shoes and says goodbye to Xiaoling, the senior at the soup house.

These are all famous scenes worthy of being recorded in future generations.

Of course, Higashinoji had to make it himself to show the most beautiful effect.

And put aside the production of these famous scenes.

Higashinoji has another very important task to complete.

That is about the production of the soundtrack and theme song "Spirited Away" ("Spirited Away").

Among them, the soundtrack for "Spirited Away" is actually not difficult to produce.

After all, this era already has the means to produce pure music, and Higashino also knows a little bit about music. There is not much problem in restoring the original soundtrack of "Spirited Away".

Since the soundtrack is okay.

On the other hand, the most important thing is the production of the theme song "Forever" from "Spirited Away".

As the theme song of "Spirited Away", this song has of course also appeared on the Kohaku Uta Battle.

Even after "Spirited Away" was aired, the Japanese media called it "a song that makes people feel suddenly enlightened after listening to it."

Some people even included it in the "Animation Songs That Will Always Be Remembered".

But this honor is actually quite normal.

Because this song is truly golden.

When Tonoji was in elementary school or junior high school, when school was over at noon or in the afternoon, the purely musical version of "Forever Together", which was Soujiro's version, would always be played on the school radio.

to be honest.

The simple score of "Forever Together" is actually not complicated.

Higashinoji had already written it.

But I never knew who it would be safer to find to sing.

Some people may say, wouldn't it be enough to let Higashinoji take charge personally?

but

It really doesn't work this time.

The song "Always Together" is different from "Lemon" and "Don't Give Up."

It itself is not suitable for singing by a male with a clear voice like Higashinoji.

The long, soft melody is like coaxing you to sleep with your eyes closed, as if you are lying under the blue sky with your pillow on the grass.

Anyone who has listened to the original singer probably knows that this song must be sung in a girl’s soft, gentle tone!

Because only female voices can have that warm, soft flavor.

So now comes the problem.

Who are you looking for?
