Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 153 Production Cost of 4000 Million Yen ([-] words)

All a good animated film needs in the early stage is animation supervision, animation script and character design.

The point of character design can be ignored, because many shots of Higashino's "Midnight Ring" can be taken out for the participation of animation staff.

Then the most important thing in front of us is animation supervision and animation script.

Animation scripts, also known as scripts in Japan, are also called shot scripts.

For example, in Tonoji's "Midnight Bell", Sadako is actually left-handed, so the painters behind must pay attention not to paint Sadako as right-handed.

As for letting Higashinoji spit out the whole animation movie by himself

This is undoubtedly unrealistic.

Animated films are produced, the short ones are about one and a half hours, the long ones are two hours, and sometimes seven or eight shots pass in one second - it takes an hour for Higashino to draw more carefully by himself.

And that's just a second of work.

You asked Higashino to spit out the whole animation movie?Printers are not that fast.

So Higashino Division can only do a good job in the early stage of the plot.

Among them, Higashino Division naturally wanted to win the animation script. (The script used by the voice actors has been adapted by a special screenwriter, so you don't need to worry about Higashino).

After all, "Midnight Ring" is his own work, so he is naturally unwilling to let other script writers come over and change the plot of "Midnight Ring" in a mess-after all, this is Japan, and "Midnight Ring" in his previous life "The adaptations of the later parts have already sounded the alarm for Higashino Division.

So hearing what Hosokawa Koharu said, Higashino Division was taken aback for a moment, but quickly replied: "I think I can give it a try."

He does lack experience in making animation scripts, but if he has one, there are two. Although he has no experience, as long as he has a try, Higashino still feels that he can do it.

After all, the art talent of your previous life in the system allows you to quickly get started with any painting and painting-related techniques. 'Talent is not vegetarian.

And after all, the production of storyboard scripts is actually not complicated. Although he has no experience in making storyboard scripts, Sharp Corporation should also take this into consideration that he is an active and popular manga author.

Higashino Division gained confidence, and planned to buy a few professional books on the method of making storyboard scripts this afternoon after school.

"I also think Higashino-sensei, you can give it a try." Hosokawa Koharu also nodded over there: "This is a rare experience, since Higashino-sensei, you have the intention to fight for it, then I will immediately ask the editor-in-chief Urashima side report."

"Then I will trouble Editor Hosokawa."

Dong Yesi was not hypocritical, thanking him and cut off the call.

And the moment he hung up the phone, he felt the curious eyes of Konoe Suzuka, Takahashi Yumi, and Fujiwara Aoi.

"There are some things about work." Higashino explained with a smile. After all, it's about animation movies, and it probably needs to be kept secret now, so it's hard to explain to them.

He has been eating with Konoe Lianghua and the three of them for several days in a row. After all, he told Konoe Lianghua earlier to let her eat with him.

As for Yumi Takahashi and Aoi Fujiwara, who didn’t want to get involved, especially Aoi Fujiwara, I think they are like light bulbs, interfering with the communication between Higashinoji and Konoe Suzuka—in other words, she doesn’t want to eat dogs grain.

However, Higashino Division also smiled to dispel Fujiwara Aoi's concerns.

It's not that Higashinoji likes light bulbs, but that Konoe Lianghua is so thin-skinned, he can't even lift his chopsticks in front of Higashinoji by himself, how awkward the atmosphere is.

If Fujiwara Aoi and Takahashi Yumi hadn't been invited to ease the atmosphere, the people next to them would have thought it was Higashinoji forcing Konoe Suzuka to accompany him for dinner.

So after a lot of messing around, it became the current state.

"A matter at work? Is "Midnight Ring" an OVA? I knew that Mr. Higashino is very powerful, and he is invincible all over the world——"

Yumi Takahashi next to her praised loudly, but her eyes were fixed on the fried chicken breast that was perfectly browned in the bento box of Higashinoji.

Rather than saying that this guy is flattering herself, it is better to say that she is thinking about her own chicken breast.

To this, Higashino just simply smiled and threw the chicken breast into his mouth. He can be considered to understand Takahashi Yumi's piss, even if he put the chicken breast to her, she will still miss her bento other things in the box.

Seeing Higashinoji eat the chicken breast, Takahashi Yumi let out an 'ah', and then showed a sad expression: "Beat my chicken breast, which is invincible all over the world."

But the sadness didn't last long.

Konoe Suzuka handed over the bento box and said softly to her, "Yumi, I have some here too, I can't finish it, I'll give it to you."

She picked out all the chicken breasts in her bento box and gave them to Takahashi Yumi, looking at Takahashi Yumi with her big clear eyes.

For some reason, looking at those eyes, Takahashi Yumi felt an inexplicable sense of guilt.

Although she is stupid, she is not stupid.

How could Konoe Lianghua have so much to eat?This must be bragging rights.

So she shook her head resolutely, not wanting Konoe Suzuka's things until she stuffed the fried chicken nuggets from Fujiwara Aoi's bento box into her mouth:.

"Hey, it's Aoi who treats me best."

"Nonsense." Seeing her fried chicken nuggets being eaten, Fujiwara Aoi was so angry that she liked fried chicken nuggets the most, and she didn't even say that she would give it to Yumi Takahashi.

As a result, Takahashi Yumi suddenly made a move and poked her fried chicken nuggets away.

But this guy has practiced kendo, and his shots are fast and accurate, and Fujiwara Aoi couldn't react for a while.

But Fujiwara Aoi quickly thought of something, and said instead: "Yumi, do you know? The final exam will be coming soon, and the winter vacation will be in a few weeks. Are you ready?"

"Hey?" Takahashi Yumi, who was still happily chewing fried chicken nuggets, was stunned for a moment, then her expression turned bitter, and she hurriedly took out the lunch box she had hidden, and offered her good food to Aoi Fujiwara : "It's the final exam, Fujiwara, please save me."

Her grades have been poor for a long time, and she has always relied on Fujiwara Aoi, all the way to not fail the course and repeat the grade. As for Konoe Lianghua?

Konoe Lianghua sometimes doesn't know what to say - asking math is to make an auxiliary line, asking Mandarin is to read a book, who can understand it?

"How about Higashino-san?" Fujiwara Aoi looked at the lunch box handed over by Takahashi Yumi, and said the other way around while picking out ingredients slowly as if she were picking ingredients at a vegetable market.

Yes.

Higashinoji is so smart, he should have no problem with his grades.

Takahashi Yumi looked at Higashinoji with hope.

But soon, Dong Yesi smiled and shook his head: "I can't do it, I can't even pass my own subjects."

He has so many things to do all day long, how can he have time to study?Do you really think of him as Superman?

"Hey? Teacher Dongye, aren't you a genius?"

Is there anything else that can be difficult for Tonoji?

Not only Yumi Takahashi, but also Aoi Fujiwara and Suzuka Konoe looked towards Higashinoji.

"It's just that people outside think that I am. I usually give Lianghua to help me with my homework."

Toshino laughed.

Since he became boyfriend and girlfriend with Konoe Lianghua, Konoe Lianghua basically helped write the homework assigned by his teachers.

Takahashi Yumi listened to Higashino's answer, and her expression was a bit incredulous: "Mr. Higashino, aren't you afraid of repeating a grade?"

Yes.

Higashino Division is too scary. He didn't even do his homework. Could it be that he is not afraid of repeating a grade?

Hearing what Takahashi Yumi said, Konoe Suzuka, who had been silent on the other side, also came over silently, clenched Higashinoji's cuffs tightly, and her big watery eyes were a little uneasy—she didn't want to see Higashinoji repeat a grade.

"It's okay, I still enjoy some privileges in Beiyijuku. I won't repeat a grade if I fail all subjects." Higashinoji didn't care.

He does enjoy privileges. Even if he fails all subjects, Beiyi School will not get stuck with his graduation certificate.

After all, he is now the signature student of Beiyi School, and he is relied on to attract external students.

It's just that Higashino doesn't need to open his mouth about such trivial matters as failing a course, and Principal Yoshimine Ryuichi will arrange it for him safely.

Takahashi Yumi who was next to him was so envious that her eyes turned red when she heard what he said. She also whispered that she must win the next kendo competition, and she didn't want to keep taking exams.

Regarding Takahashi Yumi's envious expression, Higashinoji just smiled cheerfully and didn't say much.

There is really nothing to say.

Compared with this, it is better to think about tomorrow's animation script.

In this way, the ordinary day passed quickly. In the afternoon, Higashino took the time to buy a few books on animation script production, and then went home to study hard.

Then, he found in a book the most suitable animation scripting method for him.

"Is there a way to make a storyboard picture book?" Higashino murmured, probably knowing it in his mind.

The next day, Higashino took the bag and boarded the special car prepared by Urashima Publishing House, and headed for the negotiation place prepared by Sharp Corporation.

"Teacher Higashino, don't be nervous when you get there, I'm right next to you, so don't be nervous."

Hosokawa Koharu followed behind the editor-in-chief Urashima, looked around restlessly, and warned Higashino Tsukasa at the same time.

Seeing her looking around and looking nervous, Dong Yesi had nothing to say, but she kept telling herself not to be nervous.

But sighing is always bad, so Higashinosi hurriedly smiled at her: "Don't worry, I'm not that nervous."

He has done everything he can do, and then he just needs to wait for the result.

Editor-in-chief Urashima brought Higashinoji, Hosokawa Koharu and other negotiators from Urashima Publishing House to a conference room.

On the opposite side of the long conference table is the middle-aged person in charge of the animation film project of Sharp Corporation, named Omori Daichi.

The other party is the head of the publicity department of Sharp Corporation, and he is also a well-known character. He is accompanied by two industry insiders who are proficient in animation production, obviously coming prepared.

But on the other hand, Sharp Corporation's posture is indeed very important to the "Midnight Ring" animated film.

After all, there is a lot of money invested in this, so they naturally want to listen to the sound of the water.

"Hi, Mr. Omori, I'm Yukihei Urashima from Urashima Press."

The editor-in-chief Urashima handed over his business card with both hands, and then introduced: "The two behind me are Higashinoji, the author of "Midnight Ring", and Hosokawa Koharu, the editor in charge of this work."

The other party also accepted it respectfully, and gave back a business card: "I am Daichi Omori, director of publicity and development of Sharp Corporation. Nice to meet you all. Please sit down, please sit down."

Not only Hosokawa Koharu got a business card, but even Higashino Division received the other party's business card.

And the other party spoke very kindly, and he didn't seem to have any airs at all.

As expected of the management of a large company, there are indeed some tricks.

After a few people sat down, Higashinoji and Hosokawa Koharu had nothing to do for the time being, listening to the conversation between editor-in-chief Urashima and negotiators.

Most of the conversations here are related to the interests of "Midnight Ring", Dong Yesi listened for a while, probably because Sharp Corporation is fighting for the endorsement of the character Sadako Yamamura in "Midnight Ring" and the animation Film investment issues.

The previous issue of Sadako's image endorsement was related to Higashinoji's interests, so he listened carefully for a while.

The other party is willing to pay a lot of money to win Sadako's ten-year image endorsement right. The reason why this matter is mentioned before the animated film is because they are worried that if the animated film is successful, Urashima Publishing will sit on the floor and raise the price.

This conversation lasted for about an hour. In the end, Sharp Co., Ltd. successfully won the endorsement rights of the character Sadako Yamamura. After all, only after they won the endorsement rights of Sadako, they would start talking about animated movies.

Otherwise, they managed to invest in making "Midnight Bell" even more popular, but if they didn't get anything like the endorsement rights of the characters, wouldn't they be at a loss?

Of course, since this character was created by Higashinoji, apart from part of the endorsement fee, Urashima Publishing House will transfer everything else to Higashinoji's bank account.

It seems that Higashino Division can get 6000 to [-] million yen a year

I have to say that Sharp Corporation is indeed rich.

This is just an appetizer, and the animated film "Midnight Ring" will be the topic.

During the negotiations between Urashima Publishing House and Sharp Corporation, the details of the final animated film were finalized little by little.

Invested by Sharp Corporation, Urashima Publishing House is looking for a trustworthy animation production company or studio in the industry to be responsible for the production of the finished animated film "Midnight Ring".

As for "Midnight Ring", after the final negotiation, Sharp Corporation's investment amount was [-] million yen, and the final proceeds were divided according to the agreement.
