Tokyo life starting with painting

Where is this Junji Ito serialized?

This is something many readers want to know.

They asked each other and finally targeted Tomishima Publishing House.

According to general principles, Higashinoji is the author of Tomishima Publishing House, and Junji Ito is Higashinoji's apprentice, so it is natural that "The Grudge" should also be the work of Tomishima Publishing House.

But

My impression of "Heshi" is that there is no such work as "The Grudge".

Some fans made a special trip to find the latest issue of "Heshi", hoping to find the shadow of "The Grudge" in it.

But let alone the comic "The Grudge", "Heshi" doesn't even have a comic with the word "curse" in it.

This made some fans a little dumbfounded.

What's going on?

What about comics?

If it wasn't on "He Shi", where would it be?

It must be said that the information exchange between Japan, which is gradually entering the computer society, is indeed very rapid.

Not even half a day had passed since I was looking for the comic series "The Grudge", but someone had already discovered "The Grudge" on the website of Higashino Online Comics.

The speed is indeed very fast, but what makes Tonoji feel dumbfounded is that he didn't leave the URL and LOGO of Tono's webcomic on the bottom of the cover?

Can this all be ignored?

But these are small things.

What really matters is the sales of The Grudge.

"The statistics for "The Grudge" are here."

Hosokawa Koharu excitedly held the sales statistics of Nakano Arisa's "The Grudge" and ran to the middle of Yano Ryuichi, Higashino Tsukasa and Seo Daigo.

She never thought that she would be able to announce data, which was the treatment of a chief editor at Tomima Publishing House.

And strictly speaking, "The Grudge" is also the first comic that she tutored step by step. Because of Higashinoji's situation

Instead of her tutoring Higashinoji, it would be better to say that Higashiyoshi was tutoring her in turn.

"Really? It's already here."

Higashinoji looked up at Hosokawa Koharu, curious: "What's going on?"

"The 50,000-copy first edition of "The Grudge" has now sold more than 40,000 copies! The remaining 9,000-plus copies are still on sale. According to the sales curve, there is absolutely no problem in selling out all 50,000 volumes!"

Sold out.

That means sold out.

This result also surprised Higashinoji.

You must know that they sell at designated bookstores in Tokyo, unlike Higashino Tsukasa's works, which are sold in bookstores across Japan.

This will definitely affect some sales speed.

But even so, this batch of "The Grudge" was actually sold out at such a speed.

"I'm having people collect market research data, but just looking at these data, the re-release of "The Grudge" shouldn't be a problem at all!"

Hosokawa Koharu said a long list in one breath, with a somewhat excited expression.

But Higashikata understands the other party very well.

Although Koharu Hosokawa did not participate in the early construction of Higashino's webcomic, she completed the subsequent system construction and review of the manuscript.

"Let's wait until the sales situation is fully known before we talk about reprinting."

The current situation is very good, but we cannot take it lightly, lest something go wrong in the end.

Of course Hosokawa Koharu also knows this.

She has been working in a publishing house for more than three years, and has seen many comics and novels that sold well in the early stage, but no one paid attention to them after they were republished.

She calmed down a little: "I know, but I still hope to inform Miss Nakano about this good news."

Telling authors good news is every editor’s favorite thing to do.

Because it is like watching your child grow up, full of an indescribable sense of accomplishment.

This was not a request at all, so Higashino agreed with a smile.

Then it’s time to wait.

It has to be said that this waiting period is also extremely difficult for Nakano Arisa.

Although she is the kind of person with extremely high self-confidence, she feels that her first work is a masterpiece that can surpass Higashino Tsukasa.

But when she should be nervous and uneasy, she still behaved very girlishly.

There is a feeling of restlessness.

"Highly likely to be reprinted?"

After hearing this, Nakano Yusaki opened his mouth wide, and then couldn't help but touch his head.

"Um?"

Hosokawa Koharu was stunned for a while when he didn't see Arisa Nakano jumping up and cheering happily.

Why does she feel that Nakano Arisa is still a little disappointed?

You know, this is a reprint.

It’s a treatment that countless comic book authors only dream of.

Just as she was wondering, Arisa Nakano on the other side sighed with disappointment: "I thought Editor-in-Chief Hosokawa was here to inform me of the good news about the animation."

"." Hosokawa Koharu.

Good guy!

What a great guy!

Hosokawa Koharu thought, why is this guy breathing so much while talking?

You haven’t sold out all 50,000 volumes yet.

Have you already started thinking about animation?

So if you sell 100,000 volumes of a single book, are you already thinking about turning it into a movie or TV series?

Nakano Arisa's thinking was a bit too out-of-the-box, but Hosokawa Koharu thought about it and didn't refute him.

After all, the other party has only practiced comics for half a year and has already reached this point.

At this rate of progress, animation will definitely be a certainty.

"Arisa, you should consider dealing with the reprint first."

Hosokawa Koharu made a comment and did not continue to say anything to the other party on this matter.

She will continue to verify Nakano Arisa's current market data and strive for her to successfully reprint it.

Hosokawa Koharu was about to turn around and leave, but Nakano Arisa behind her stopped her: "By the way, Chief Editor Hosokawa!"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Hosokawa Koharu is a little strange.

"That's it. If all 50,000 volumes are sold out, how much money can I get?"

Nakano Arisaki was not embarrassed.

This little girl who was shouting "animation" without any embarrassment just now is very sensitive about money.

But money.

This is also the source of the author's struggle.

Without thinking, Hosokawa Koharu simply reported the figure: "After the 50,000 volumes are sold, according to the industry's share, Arisaki, you should be able to get two million yen."

Two million yen?

Shanxia Qianxia, ​​who had been silent for a long time, heard this number and his eyes widened.

Isn't this too profitable?

Just this time, Nakano Arisa's salary was almost more than half a year's salary.

Cartoonists make too much money, right? !

Mountain Chinatsu felt sour in her mouth as if she had eaten a lemon.

Jealousy. This is an emotion that everyone has.

But compared to this insignificant lemon smell, Yamayama Chinatsu actually has more of a blessing attitude.

She is also very happy that Nakano Arisaki can produce results.

Then, Shanxia Chinatsu heard Nakano Arisa's next words.

"Really? Two million yen? Well... Chief Editor Hosokawa, can I divide the two million yen into three parts?"

"Huh?" Hosokawa Koharu and Yamayama Chinatsu were both stunned.

Divide it into three parts What is the purpose of dividing it into three parts?

"Hehe. I want Mr. Higashino to take the big head and take away one million yen, and then the remaining one million will be given to Editor Hosokawa and Yamayama-senpai."

Nakano Arisaki chuckled and rubbed his head.

"Forehead"

Hosokawa Koharu and Yamayama Chinatsu looked at each other.

The two of them probably know the reason why Nakano Arisa gave Higashino Tsukasa the money.

Because she had said before that she wanted to repay Higashinoji.

This million yen is probably what she calls 'repayment of gratitude'.

Used to thank Higashinoji for the 4 million yen he gave her during the P Station Grand Prize.

Although Higashinoji has made it clear that she does not need to repay the favor.

But there is no way, Nakano Arisaki is such a fool, the kind of upright person with a stupid and stupid head.

To be honest, this kind of upright character and repaying kindness is really annoying.

But the next one million yen, Hosokawa Koharu and Yamayama Chinatsu, didn’t understand.

Why do they have a share?

"Because Yamayama-senpai and Editor-in-Chief Hosokawa also helped me."

Nakano Yusaki blinked his eyes.

Her ability to live alone in Higashino Studio for so long is absolutely inseparable from the help of Chinatsu Yamayama and Koharu Hosokawa.

In life, Shanxia Chinatsu would always invite her out to eat from time to time to improve the food.

In terms of work, Hosokawa Koharu will come to check her manga drawing status from time to time and guide her at the same time.

Although Nakano Arisa never said anything, she remembered everything clearly.

Now is the time to finally be able to repay the debt of gratitude.

Of course she has to return the favor!

After all, we are all girls, and we can't really use our bodies to repay kindness.

She tried hard to persuade her, but Hosokawa Koharu and Yamayama Chinatsu finally reluctantly accepted it.

However, they were still unwilling to accept the money.

After all, this was earned by Nakano Arisa alone.

How could they have the nerve to accept it?

Hosokawa Koharu even made a special trip to tell Higashinoji about this.

As a result, Tonoji couldn't help but laugh.

Nakano Arisaki doesn’t know what to say anymore.

You could call her naive.

That's really naive.

But she is indeed a high school student, so it is normal for her to be naive.

But you want to say whether her intention is enough?

That's what Higashinoji thinks.

That's enough.

I can spend all my first pot of gold in my life to thank my friends around me for their help.

It's not that there aren't such people, but there are too few.

In the eyes of Higashinoji, a person who has traveled through time in 2020, this is a precious quality.

He had a friend like this before.

Higashino borrowed money from the other party for turnover. As a result, after the other party got the situation of the capital turnover company, Higashinoji later brought up the money matter with the other party. The other party was too preoccupied with other matters and had no intention of having a serious discussion at all.

In real life, people who borrow money are more humble than those who owe money.

There are indeed too few people like Nakano Arisa.

Thinking of this, Higashinoji smiled: "Then I'll accept her one million yen."

"Why?"

Hosokawa Koharu came here just to say hello to Higashinoji.

She never expected that the other party would actually borrow Poxia's donkey and really want to accept Nakano Arisa's money.

Before she could say anything else, Higashikata on the other side raised his head and smiled:

"Also, Editor-in-Chief Hosokawa, please ask the finance department to allocate another one million yen bonus to Arisaki, saying that it is a reward for the publicity her manga has become for our Tono Studio."

"." Hosokawa Koharu.

Hosokawa Koharu was really speechless.

Do the master and the apprentice both gasp like this when they talk?

Even if Nakano Arisa is panting heavily while talking, you Higashinoji is also coming with you?

However, Higashi Yesi's skill in building the plank road openly and secretly plotting against Chen Cang can be regarded as a smart move.

If Tonoji doesn't accept Nakano Arisa's one million, Nakano Arisa may not be happy.

But if he really accepted the one million yen from the other party, then his behavior would be a bit unjustifiable, and at least he would not be able to forgive it.

After all, it’s all the little girl’s hard-earned money.

Hosokawa Koharu also thought about it.

She also accepted the other party's five hundred thousand yen, and then used the money to rent a nice house so that she would not have to sleep in the small warehouse in Tono's studio every day.

This time it can be considered as satisfying both sides, and both conscience and Nakano Arisaki can accept it.

After seeing off Hosokawa Koharu.

Higashinoji also let out a breath, and then clicked on the form on the desktop: "The matter over there is settled. Next is the matter on our side. It's almost time to release the promotional video for "Spirited Away" It’s time.”

It took more than half a year of production.

Half of the production of "Spirited Away" has been completed, and it's time to release a promotional video - this is actually relatively slow.

You must know that the theatrical version of "June's Hymn" produced by Tokyo Animation Company at the same time as Higashino Studio is not only a promotional video, but the trailer seems to have been produced for a long time.

This speed is truly amazing.

This meeting between Higashinoji and Yano Ryuichi was mainly to discuss the promotional video for "Spirited Away".

"I think it's pretty much the same model as before."

Yano Ryuichi expressed his opinion: "Of course, we can also introduce the voice actors appropriately. It is also good to go through the process like other companies do."

"I have no opinion."

Seo Daigo raised his hand and said calmly.

Introduce the voice actors, and then edit some famous scenes from the movie as gimmicks. This is also a classic approach of other companies.

Higashino thought for a while and felt that this was not a big problem, so he simply made a decision.

"In this case, let's release the promotional video of "Spirited Away" according to this model. By the way, I would like to ask when the trailer of Tokyo Animation will be released?"

Higashinoji and Tokyo Animation have collaborated before. If possible, he tries not to collide with each other, so as not to affect the publicity effect of each other.

At that time, it was casually written by some newspapers and media, and it would probably become a headline like "Higashino Studio deliberately competes with Tokyo Animation".

"not sure."

Yano Ryuichi shook his head: "Tokyo Animation's trailer release dates are usually kept secret from the outside world and are officially set by them. But I don't think it is such a coincidence."

".I see."

Higashino nodded, indicating that he could accept this statement.

Yes.

It would be too much of a coincidence if a car could crash on this random date.

He felt like he could buy a lottery ticket.
