Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 125 Chihaya Kumamoto (4000 words!)

This interview is not a live broadcast, but recorded today, and NTV will edit it before, and it will be officially broadcast as an exclusive interview program the next day.

Therefore, even if Dong Yeji said something wrong, it was not a big problem, at most it would just increase the workload of the staff.

So Higashinoji is quite relaxed, he still likes to chat with other people.

The topic is also easy to talk about.

Fortunately, Shun Matsui's ability to control the field is relatively strong, and Dong Yeji's chats are all interesting and gossip about the information explosion in the Internet age in his previous life, and then adapted, so he is very down-to-earth.

"Someone got into a fight because they were discussing whether Hichinko rice or Koshihikari rice is better in Kumamoto Prefecture? Are their faces swollen from beating each other? What's the matter?"

Shun Matsui was surprised.

"Yeah, the beating was pretty ruthless."

"Is this related to the creation of Kumamon?"

"No, but it's interesting."

"Can you talk about the difficulties you encountered at the beginning of creating Kumamon?"

"There must be difficulties." Higashinoji heard Shun Matsui's serious question, but did not continue to discuss the matter of rice.

He straightened his face and replied: "The most difficult thing is probably the motion design of Kumamon. From the perspective of a mascot, it is necessary to highlight the character through motion."

"That's true." Shun Matsui nodded, remembering Kumamon hugging the female civil servant's thigh and refusing to let go.

In a sense, this action reflects Kumamon's cheap and cute character.

"Mr. Higashino, how did you solve the problem of motion design?" Shun Matsui asked thoughtfully.

"This problem was really difficult to solve at the beginning, but later I got inspiration from my sister's actions when she was angry, and the problem of action design was solved."

Higashino Division answered this question very simply.

Because it is true that Chihaya Higashino got the inspiration for Kumamon's action design, and there is nothing to hide.

"This means that Higashino-sensei got inspiration from his family members, right?"

"That's right, so Kumamon's father is actually not me, it should be my sister Chihaya Kumamoto." Higashino Tsukasa smiled and said a witty remark: "If you have any difficulties, you can find my sister, and everything can be solved."

"Ms. Higashino really likes to joke." Shun Matsui smiled: "Then the next question, Mr. Higashino is aware of the rumors from the outside world, right? It is about you and the author of "The Lonely Gourmet" and "Midnight Bell" Higashino is the same person statement."

"I do know about this. I also want to clarify here. It's not a rumor, it's not a rumor, it's a fact."

Higashino admitted with a smile: ""Midnight Ring" and "The Lonely Gourmet" are both my current works, and I also ask for your support."

Higashino's words were very interesting, and Matsui Shun who was next to him also laughed: "Since this is the case, would Mr. Higashino be willing to show it on the spot with his own hands? I think everyone is very curious, how did Mr. Higashino make "Midnight Ring" The characters and plots in "The Lonely Gourmet" are so realistic."

This is indeed something that many fans have always cared about.

How on earth did Higashino draw "Midnight Ring" so horribly--Mingming Sadako didn't appear a few times.

Similarly, they are also interested in how Higashino describes the simple meals and dishes in "The Lonely Gourmet" so deliciously, that they can taste and smell the fragrance through the paper.

"Of course." Higashino nodded.

He knew about this link before, so he warmed up his hands at home.

but--

"Can you give me two pens? Draw faster with both hands." Dong Yesi waved to the outside.

"Two hands together?" Shun Matsui was stunned as he listened to it.

Will Higashino still fight left and right?

This made him interested.

"Usually I draw comics with both hands in rotation. After all, I have to draw monthly magazines while maintaining a weekly magazine. It is too tiring to only hand it over to the right hand. When the right hand is tired, I switch to the left hand."

As he spoke, Higashino took the black marker and unscrewed the thin tip on the other side.

Drawing a circle with the left hand and drawing a square with the right hand, that level is too high——

He can only say that his left and right hands can draw a character or a scene together.

As for drawing Sadako with the left hand, it is impossible to draw Goro Higashinoji with the right hand.

But just like this, the editors of Urashima Publishing House outside the venue looked sideways.

Higashinoji held the pen firmly with both hands, and then began to draw lines.

Higashino pulled up the long thread and laid the short thread flat, keeping the rhythm of his hands very well, with a posture of bowing left and right.

Seeing the rapid formation of Sadako under Higashino Tsukasa, not only Matsui Shun next to him was dumbfounded, but even some editors outside the venue couldn't help but whispered to themselves: "Mr. Higashino is too powerful."

Most of the authors in the manga industry can't draw with both hands. Even if they can, they can't be as proficient as Higashino.

"Mr. Higashino also has a foundation in oil painting. He draws both comics and oil paintings. He must have spent a lot of time practicing."

Hosokawa Koharu thought that Higashinoji and oil paintings could also be sold, so he came up with this idea.

And this idea was also unanimously approved by the editors next to it.

That's the only reason.

Of course Higashinoji who was at the table didn't hear their whispered conversation, he just followed the usual steps to draw.

As he said before, it is natural to switch to the left hand when the right hand is tired.

As for how to practice it, it is indeed similar to what Hosokawa Koharu said - only hands-on.

If you use your left hand a lot, it is naturally as easy to use as your right hand.

He quickly finished drawing Sadako, and the Sadako left on the whiteboard showed cold and vicious eyes, and the terrifying aura seemed to be able to pass through the whiteboard and overwhelm everyone.

The scariest thing was that Matsui Shun looked at Sadako on the whiteboard and stretched out her hand, as if she was really going to crawl out of the whiteboard.

He was sweating profusely, looking at the painting in horror.

Next to him was an employee whose arms were trembling, and he couldn't even hold the camera.

Yeah, it's too scary

This person had never seen "Midnight Ring" before. When the horror of being in the situation and drawing others into the world in the painting struck, he could only shiver in a daze.

"Mr. Dongye, this is really superb painting skills."

Shun Matsui said with a tingling scalp.

"Really? But it's just drawn with a marker pen, and it can be drawn more terrifyingly at ordinary times."

Higashino raised his head and answered.

Can it be more scary than usual?

After hearing this, Shun Matsui couldn't help but look over at the editor at Urashima Publishing House.

Are these editors usually subjected to this kind of torture?

The editor's expression on the other side is actually a little unclear. At first glance, I feel that their mood is quite complicated.

Dong Yesi was right, "Midnight Bell" scared the entire editorial department to the ground.

However, Higashinoji didn't care about the situation between Shun Matsui and the editor on the other side. He shook his head and signed his name on the painting.

It's just that I don't know if it's because of Konoe Lianghua, Higashinoji subconsciously painted Sadako's breasts a little bigger.

As soon as this picture was released, Higashino knew that the group of publishers in the adult industry would probably follow his model to produce small discs about Sadako.

Although it was drawn with a marker pen, this Sadako still has some of Higashinoji's unique realistic style of painting. It looks terrifying, and the vicious gaze seems to be able to penetrate the brain of the viewer, reflecting the ultimate horror.

It is also because the instant social communication software in this era is not yet developed, otherwise this thing will definitely be made into a scaring emoticon package.

Dong Yesi put down the whiteboard, picked up another whiteboard, and bowed with both hands.

This time it is Goro Inokashira from "The Lonely Gourmet".

However, what he drew this time is similar to the poster of "The Lonely Gourmet". The upper left corner is the big head of Inokashira Goro, and the lower right corner is a variety of dishes.

Because he didn't want to draw anything, Higashino simply put all the famous Chinese snacks in Japan, such as Xiaolongbao and spring rolls.

Shun Matsui, who was watching from the side, couldn't help swallowing.

If Sadako just now had an exaggerated style with realism, then Inokashira Goro here is the ultimate realistic style that tortures the stomach.

Xiaolongbao and spring rolls are drawn on it, as if the fragrance can be wafted down, the soup of the Xiaolongbao enters the mouth, and the fragrance of spring rolls wrapped in seasonal vegetables also hits the nasal cavity

This is too delicious.

Coupled with Ueinokashira Goro's hungry face staring blankly in front of him with an empty stomach

The horror style change just now, now everyone is a little sluggish.

Why do you feel so hungry when you came to work just after eating?

Looking at Goro Inokashira's hungry expression in the manga, they secretly swallowed their saliva with the delicious Chinese snacks next to them.

This poster was also solved quickly, and it took more than ten minutes to put the two paintings together.

This time will definitely be edited, so Higashino doesn't care.

As for why Higashino usually draws the original manuscript so slowly, it takes an hour and a half, it is because it is definitely more difficult to draw the original manuscript than to simply draw a simple picture like this.

The original manuscript needs to pay attention to the composition of the mirror, the shadow painting and other things. The whiteboard painting in hand does not need to pay attention to anything.

If it still takes that long, Dong Yesi doesn't have to continue messing around.

only

Higashino looked up in confusion.

Not to mention things like applause and compliments, why did the scene suddenly become silent?

Are you too ugly to draw yourself?This shouldn't be the case either.

It is my usual level.

So Dongyesi coughed and called out tentatively: "Matsui-san?"

"Ah..." Shun Matsui really deserved to be a host of NTV TV, and he came back to his senses and his expression recovered.

only

He glanced at the painting of "Midnight Ring" as if he had lingering fear, and then swallowed and looked at the painting of "The Lonely Gourmet"

This is really amazing.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, how could he believe that these two paintings with different styles were made by the same person?

One side is horrifying and horrifying, making people dare not breathe at all, while the other side makes people salivate

Shun Matsui thought, being a fan of Mr. Higashino is really not an easy task.

No matter if you read his comics, it feels like there is only one end - to be tortured.

Yes, either being tortured by terror or being tortured by delicious food is too toxic.

"Mr. Higashino is really amazing. He can manage two completely different styles so perfectly." Shun Matsui praised him, and then added: "It's amazing that he still draws the bow with both hands."

Dong Yesi also smiled cheerfully at this, and didn't say much.

It's actually not difficult to shoot left and right, but this time Dong Yesi also did it on purpose, in order to show something a little bit.

After all, coaxing the reader is the key.

After drawing these two whiteboards, the process is much simpler.

It's nothing more than interaction, and then talk about some things that Tonoji usually has a little more privacy.

For example, do you have a girlfriend, and what are your plans for the direction of the next manga?

These things are easy to answer, and Higashinosi simply perfunctory just after a little thought.

Perhaps the only thing worth mentioning is that at the end of the interview, Higashino specifically mentioned the critics who slandered himself in the newspaper column and said that he was not suitable for drawing manga.

'I hope these critics can be strict with themselves, be lenient to others, and not look at the cartoonist's creation with personal prejudice'

Anyway, it was a very bitter ridicule.

After all, most of these are critical soft articles that slander Urashima Publishing House. Before scolding others, you must be prepared to be scolded by others.

As for Tonoji?

Of course, Higashino is the kind of person who thinks he is very tolerant, and he doesn't care much about such things.

Just like that, until the second day after the TV interview was broadcast——

"Asi! Asi! I'm your sister! I'm not that kind of bear! My name is Higashino Chihaya!"

Chihaya Higashino grabbed Higashino Division's arm angrily, and said seriously.

She doesn't admit what Higashinoji said!

How can I be as stupid as that cheap bear, so stupid.

She continued to read angrily.

Then there was another yell—

When seeing Sadako in "Midnight Ring", Chihaya Higashino's reaction was like this.

"A Si, who is that woman you drew? It's so scary! The breasts are so big! The breasts are so big!"

Higashino Chihaya shrank behind Higashino Tsukasa, watching the close-up of Sadako on TV with a face full of fear, looking like Kumamon was frightened.

Higashinosi smiled and reached out to touch her head.

Then saw the reaction of "The Lonely Gourmet"

"Hey Gudu Asi, let's eat Xiaolongbao, shall we? Xiaolongbao, spring rolls, and roast duck are all delicious."

Higashino Chihaya grabbed the corner of Higashino Si's clothes, put her index finger near her mouth, and the saliva flowed out, looking like a dumbfounded Kumamon with a glutton's mouth.

Seeing this appearance, Dong Yesi couldn't help laughing happily.

Are you still saying that you are not like Kumamon?
