Chapter 118 The Father of Kumamon

Sign the contract while reviewing?

And this statement?

Compared with Tanaka Ken, Shenmu Qiren is still too tender, when he heard him say this, he was instinctively taken aback.

Then he figured it out.

The so-called review is actually for Hayakawasu and the people above, which means that they have reviewed it-it is still necessary to save face.

But in fact, Higashino Division has already been appointed by default.

"I'll call Mr. Higashino right now."

After figuring this out, Shenmu Qiren also nodded, took out her mobile phone, walked outside the office, and called Higashinoji.

He quickly told Dongye Division the specific situation.

"Huh? Do you want me to attend the review meeting?" Higashino Tsukasa, who was busy refining the first draft of Kumamon, stopped his work after hearing this, and asked incomprehensibly, "It seems a little bad for me to attend the review meeting, right?" ? Deep Twilight Sang?"

"This time the situation is quite special, and it must be better for the designer, Higashino-sensei, to explain the image of Kumamon."

"Really? Then please let me prepare, I'll be right over."

Higashino couldn't continue to refuse, and after saying something, he looked at Higashino Chihaya who was sitting on the bed watching TV: "Miss Chihaya, I have something to go out for a while, you stay in the room obediently."

He unpacked a pack of jerky horse meat as Higashino Chihaya's snack, then patted her head, and quickly went downstairs.

About half an hour later, Dong Yesi came to the downstairs of the Publicity Department of Kumamoto County according to the address given by Qiren Shenmu.

At this time, Shenmu Qiren and another middle-aged man were standing downstairs waiting for Dong Yesi. Seeing him coming, Shen Mu Qiren hurriedly greeted him: "Sorry, Teacher Dongye, because I have to prepare for the meeting , so I can’t pick you up in person.”

"It's okay, Shen Musang's work is the top priority." Higashinosi nodded with a smile, and then looked curiously at the middle-aged man next to Shen Muqiren: "This gentleman is"

"This is Minister Tanaka who is responsible for the specific announcement of the mascot of Kumamoto Prefecture."

After hearing the introduction from Shenmu Qiren, Dong Yesi realized it.

Isn't this the immediate boss of Shenmu Qiren?

After he realized this, he immediately stretched out his hand and greeted politely: "Hello, Minister Tanaka."

"Hello, Teacher Higashino." Ken Tanaka glanced at the appearance of Higashino Division, then turned his head and smiled and praised Shenmu Qiren: "Mr. Dongye is really a young genius, and he is the lucky general of our Kumamoto County. At such an age, the mascot image of Kumamon was designed.”

His words are full of appreciation.

That's right, Dong Yesi is too young, and he doesn't look like he can do things at all.

But it is precisely such young people who have designed the best mascot image Kumamon so far.

Tanaka Ken naturally admired Higashino Division.

At the same time, he also sighed inexplicably that the present era is still the era of young people.

The three talked downstairs for a while, and then a call came from Ken Tanaka's cell phone.

Apparently the preparations for the meeting over there are already in place.

"Mr. Higashino, we still need you to assist us in the review work this time. Regarding the image of Kumamon, if you have any other novel ideas, please speak up."

Ken Tanaka made a 'please' gesture, and Higashino Division quickly waved his hand with a smile: "I can only say that I will do my best, Minister Tanaka."

What novel idea?As far as Higashino is concerned, he can only say that he is doing his best.

They took Dong Yesi into the meeting room, which was a very ordinary meeting room.

There is a long table with a window, and there is an explanation platform on the top of the table, which is also equipped with a small microphone and a projector.

On the white screen of the projector, the computer slides have been prepared, which is the first draft of Kumamon prepared by Higashino.

"Next, Mr. Higashino, the main designer of Kumamon, will explain the mascot image of 'Kumamon' to us."

Tanaka Ken made an announcement on the stage, and then gave up the main explaining stage to Higashino Division.

this battle

Dongyesi had a strange expression on his face.

From a rough look at the people below, there were ten or twenty, and it felt like the entire publicity department had come.

If it wasn't for what Ken Tanaka said just now that this was an audit meeting, Higashino even felt that this was the scene where he confirmed his cooperation with the Kumamoto prefectural government.

But forget it

Higashino Division threw the messy thoughts in his mind to the back of his head, walked onto the stage solemnly, and began to explain the image of Kumamon.

The image explanation of Kumamon is not complicated. After all, the writer of the copywriting is Higashino Tsukasa. He starts with the image design of Kumamon.

Why such a color scheme is adopted, and why is this potbellied black bear image used.

Then I jumped from the image design to the action design of Kumamon.

The members of the publicity and distribution department below looked at the simple, honest and cute Kumamon on the slide, and they all had a feeling of excitement.

The female members are attracted by Kumamon's honesty and cuteness, while the male members especially like Kumamon's cute and cute actions.

This image, in a sense, is really a take-all for men and women.

It is neither girly nor too rigid, and the right sense of center makes many members of the publicity and distribution department nod secretly.

"I think that only such a design is suitable for the mascot of Kumamoto Prefecture. Although there are no bears in Kumamoto Prefecture, we can create a unique Kumamon bear."

That's a good point.

Many people below nodded to Dong Yesi's words.

Yes, this is the image of Kumamon in their minds, and what was submitted by Chito Mimu before.

It's either skylark or prawns, as if there are no other specialties in Kumamoto Prefecture.

And the phrase 'the one and only Kumamon' speaks to their hearts.

As long as they work hard to publicize it, maybe one day, the image of Kumamon will explode in Japan?

And the image of Kumamon is really interesting.

When it comes to Kumamon, everyone thinks of Kumamoto Prefecture, and when it comes to Kumamoto Prefecture, everyone thinks of Kumamon.

Some of the female members present were a little ready to move, and they decided that if the review meeting failed, they would secretly go to Higashinoji and ask him for two original collections of Kumamon—at least Hiyori Aoki thought so.

Aoki Hiyori is a member of the publicity and development department who just joined this year. He has connections behind him and a good education background, so he was directly assigned to the Kumamoto mascot design planning team.

It's not that she has any objections to Fukaruto, but the mascot of the skylark in Kumamoto Prefecture submitted by the other party a few times ago is too much to say.

It’s not a question of whether it’s good-looking or not. It’s just that the skylark mascots in the past few times looked very old-fashioned and rustic. Although the skylark mascot looked cute, I always felt that it was the style of the Showa era, which middle-aged and elderly people liked. The type does not match the trendy things that young people like him like at all.

Originally, today she thought that she would see the showa-type rustic mascot submitted by Fumimu Qiren again, but unexpectedly, this time it was completely different.

"It's so cute." Aoki Hiyori looked at the Kumamon rolling, akimbo, waving, and bouncing on the screen, his face was full of heartbeat.

There is a good saying that women have zero resistance to cute things.

Even though Aoki Hiyori is already working, she is still a little girl in her 20s. When she sees cute things, she will naturally want to buy them and spend money out of her pocket.

Who doesn't like the chubby, chubby Kumamon on the white projection screen?

At least Hiyori Aoki was irresistible.

Therefore, when I heard Takeshi Tanaka walk up to the host stage and say, "Then start the voting on the design of Mr. Higashino Kumamoto now, and those who agree with this design should raise their hands." Hiyori Aoki said without hesitation. raised his hand.

After raising her hand, she was still looking around, as if I was in a hurry with whoever didn't raise her hand.

This must be Kumamon!What are you still hesitating about!Give me hands up!

It seems that the design image of Kumamon is indeed very popular, or that the prayers in Aoki Hiyori's heart have had an effect, and a row of hands was really densely raised in the conference room.

From a cursory glance, it seemed that there were only one or two who did not raise their hands.

"Okay, mostly passed."

Tanaka Ken nodded, and announced very simply; "Then I announce that the design of the mascot of Kumamoto Prefecture has been finalized, and the various publicity departments can start working. For the logistics team, I will see Kumamon's leather case tomorrow." .”

Tanaka Ken was very neat and quick in his work, and he settled many things at once.

But his words stunned Dong Yesi next to him.

Ok?

Isn't this a review meeting?Why did you suddenly decide to cooperate with him?

It's good to have a sure partnership though.

But Dong Yesi felt that it would be better to ask more clearly: "Deep Mu-sang, what is this?"

Higashinosi looked at Qiren Shenmu who was sitting next to him, and asked inexplicably.

"Actually, this is something that Minister Tanaka has decided before."

Shenmu Qiren smiled and answered Higashino: "Mr. Higashino, the quality of the Kumamon you drew is there. You should understand it yourself, so just"

He gave Dong Yesi a wink, but didn't say everything clearly.

So this is ah.

There is no need for Shen Mu Qiren to understand what he said, after seeing his wink, Dong Yesi understood immediately.

This should be Tanaka Kenzhong's own design, so he directly decided on himself.

This review meeting is just for other people to see, which is equivalent to 'we have already reviewed it specially, and it was decided by everyone in a meeting. It is very democratic and not dictatorial. 'the meaning of.

But in fact, even if this review meeting is not held, there is a high probability that the qualification to create the mascot will be obtained by Kumamon from Higashino Division.

"So that's the case. Please let me express my thanks to Minister Tanaka."

"That's not necessary." Shenmu Qiren waved his hand: "In fact, Mr. Higashino, the image of Kumamon that you drew is indeed the best mascot image at present, and it can be seen that most people voted for it."

Yes, the quality of Higashinoji's works is there.

If it weren't for the excellent quality of completion, Ken Tanaka would not be so anxious to make a final decision.

It can be said that obtaining the default qualification is also based on Higashinoji's own strength.

"Teacher Higashino, could you please wait a moment? We will prepare the contract right away."

Deep Mu Qiren spoke again.

He is still very eager, and he will try his best to get this matter done as quickly as possible.

But he also considered that Higashino may not understand the terms of the contract, so he said kindly: "Do you need us to prepare a special legal lawyer for you? This will also help Mr. Higashino to understand the terms of the contract prepared by us."

"That's not necessary." Dongyesi smiled and shook his head.

He has done such things as signing a contract and cooperating in his previous life.

"Well, okay, then I'll trouble Shen Mu-sang."

Higashino Division did not refuse, simply nodded.

He also wanted to finalize this matter quickly.

After waiting here for almost half an hour, Shenmu Qiren had already prepared the contract.

Dong Yesi picked it up and scanned it carefully.

The first is 300 million yen for creating the image of Kumamon, which is clearly marked on the contract.

But this is just a small amount of money, the most important thing is the following one - [-]% of the peripheral income generated by Kumamon is counted as Higashinoji's income.

two percent gain

That sounds like very little.

But for the image of Kumamon, it can be called a huge sum of money!

You must know that in the era of Higashino Division, the image of this cheap bear ranges from airplanes and Shinkansen to mobile phone cases and key chains. Kumamoto Prefecture has this cheap bear almost from top to bottom, and from bottom to top. shadow.

Not to mention that this is just the income of the local Kumamon bear in Japan. Once this image was launched, it quickly spread all over the Asian circle. Even the people of the Celestial Dynasty couldn't resist this cute animal and paid for it.

Again.

Kumamon is a world-class Internet celebrity.

So just taking the [-]% rebate, Higashinoji is enough to earn a lot of money.

Of course, Dong Yesi didn't only see benefits and rebates in his eyes, he also saw all the other risk clauses in his eyes.

There is also a confidentiality agreement on this contract, which stipulates that Higashino cannot disclose any details before the image of Kumamon comes out.

Higashino Division must also ensure that the image and action design of the Kumamon behind cannot cut corners.

The right to use Kumamon bears and surrounding production rights are all owned by Kumamoto Prefecture.

Dong Yesi scanned these one by one, and finally nodded: "The contract is fine, Shen Musang."

He left his name at the signature place, and then got up to shake hands with Shenmu Qiren and Tanaka Ken: "Happy cooperation. Shenmu-san, Minister Tanaka."

"Happy cooperation." Shenmu Qiren and Tanaka Ken laughed, and held Higashinoji's palm.

In this way, Higashino Division has directly confirmed the signing and cooperation relationship with Kumamoto Prefecture.

"Please give me more advice in the future. Mr. Higashino will be the father of Kumamon in Kumamoto Prefecture from now on."

Tanaka Ken said a witty remark, which surprised Higashino, and then laughed: "Well, please give me your advice."

That's right, from now on, Higashinoji will be the father of Kumamoto, the mascot of Kumamoto Prefecture.
