Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 186 It's not a big problem to press [-]

Higashinoji hung up Aiko Mujo.

Aiko Mujo over there thanked Higashino Division very much.

Because without Higashino Tsukasa, Ryuichi Yoshimine would not have noticed her, and there would be no subsequent series of operations.

According to Aiko Mujo, she will aim for a scholarship after she goes to university, and she will never hold back her alma mater.

Higashinoji also responded with "hmmmhhhhh" to her statement.

Because even Higashino Division did not expect such a dramatic thing to happen.

It has to be said that this verifies the saying 'fiction needs logic, but reality does not need logic'.

But the result is also considered good.

Aiko Mujo went to college, her youth should not be regarded as a regret, and she has also drawn more satisfactory works.

So it can be said to be a win-win situation.

What Higashino Division will do next is also very simple.

That is, it took two months to polish the "Summer Is Over" at hand.

The amount of this project is not large, after all, Higashino Division has two months to do it slowly.

The production team of "Midnight Ring" is also in full swing.

Now it's time to draw the background of the original painting.

After all, what Higashinoji and other original artists drew is just a white drawing, and the background on it is completed by professional background painting.

After the background is painted, it is the color, and after the color is the soundtrack.

When the soundtrack is finished, it will be the work of the voice actors.

None of this has anything to do with Higashinoji. He handed over the last original painting to Daohiro Motohashi, which is considered to have solved the "Midnight Ring" issue.

He has also read the semi-finished manuscript of "Midnight Ring", and he feels it very much, which makes people feel hairy.

That's pretty good.

Higashino Division was very satisfied, and his attention changed from the production of the "Midnight Ring" animated film to his current serialized comics.

Needless to say, "The Lonely Gourmet" has a relaxed atmosphere, fresh food, and tortures the stomachs of Japanese friends all the time.

The one worth mentioning right now should be "The Winner Is Justice".

"The Winner Is Justice" has now been serialized to more than 20 episodes.

Based on one episode and two episodes in Japanese dramas, the first season of "Winner Is Justice" has a total of twelve episodes, and it is almost over now.

From the first chapter to the last chapter, it has firmly occupied the first place in the readers' praise of "Aversion to Cold".

However, for Higashino Division, he is still a little dissatisfied with the achievement of "The Winner Is Justice".

After all, he has a lot of names on his head, the author of "Midnight Ring", the designer of Kumamon, and some famous names in oil paintings.

These things will provide him with better data.

That's why Higashino Division was a little dissatisfied.

Of course, if this is heard by the editor who has been in charge of him, Hosokawa Koharu.

Then I guess Hosokawa Koharu would be so angry that he would spurt blood directly——Are you still not satisfied?

It is already a remarkable achievement just to maintain the number one reader praise for more than 20 consecutive weeks.

Not to mention that "The Winner is Justice" has attracted social attention for a while, which in a sense has already become popular in the circle.

At least Hosokawa Koharu always looked at the results of "The Winner Is Justice" with satisfaction and giggled with satisfaction.

Aside from Hosokawa Koharu's satisfaction, there was only one thing that made Higashino Tsukasa slightly happy.

That is, the well-known points he has accumulated have broken through the 150 million mark and are slowly creeping towards 200 million points.

It is estimated that half of the credit for Kumamon's New Year's marketing.

Now the Kumamoto bear has really become the signboard of Kumamoto Prefecture. Even before the Shinkansen is open to traffic, some people take a special plane to go to Kumamoto Prefecture for sightseeing. This seems to be the reason why the air ticket to Kumamoto Prefecture is cheaper than the Shinkansen. Inside but no matter what, the fire is the fire.

It is estimated that the marketing around Kumamon in Kumamoto Prefecture this year will have to be raised a lot.

At that time, the dividends will be given to Higashino Division

This must be very amazing, Higashino Division can completely embrace the cash cow of Kumamon and spend a lifetime of laziness.

Of course, there is also the credit of Chihaya Kumamoto.

However, compared to these miscellaneous things, Dong Yesi is more willing to fight now, and strive to continue to make his name, so that the Celestial Dynasty can also know his name.

"The next step is to consider the ending method of "The Winner Is Justice."

Higashino Division pinched his chin and began to think.

Next is the finale of "The Winner Is Justice", which is naturally the best part of the whole comic.

Kensuke Gu Meimen, who is the leading actor, was forced to a dead end first, and even took the house, luxury speedboat, and luxury car to pay off his debts. If he loses the lawsuit with Xianyu Chemical, he will have nothing.

Not only the reputation of being undefeated, but even the pants will be lost in the end.

But Gu Meimen Kensuke fell into a disadvantage from the very beginning and entered a very unfavorable situation. If you want to win this lawsuit, you must persuade a female scientific research director of Xianyu Chemical to let her appear in court to prove that Xianyu Unknown elements chemically discharged can indeed cause harm to the human body.

This can be said to be a desperate situation. I want people from the enemy forces to quit their jobs and defect

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is more difficult than ascending to the sky.

Higashino feels that as long as the plot of the finale is drawn well, the sales volume of the booklet of "The Winner Is Justice" will inevitably rise in a straight line, and it will be unstoppable.

He began to think, ponder.

On the other side, apart from Urashima Publishing House, the editor-in-chief of Yanjiao Publishing House, Yamano, is now full of melancholy.

As mentioned earlier, there are three most famous publishers of comic magazines, namely Yanjiao Publishing House, Mozhu Bookstore and Urashima Publishing House.

Among them, Yanjiao Publishing House mainly focuses on hot-blooded youth comics, and Mozhu Bookstore focuses on science fiction and girl comics.

Although they are divided into two publishing houses, the group standing behind them has entered into a joint venture as early as the beginning of last year, which can be regarded as a family.

Urashima Press, on the other hand, has actually gone from bad to worse since last year because of the lack of excellent manga scripts.

But judging from the current data, Urashima Publishing House, which seemed to be squeezed out last year, has miraculously breathed a sigh of relief.

Even the sales of the single volumes of "Winner Is Justice" and "Midnight Bell" have vaguely suppressed the long-term serialization of their two major publishing houses.

To be honest, when the editor-in-chief of Yamano got the news, he was very surprised and even a little bit at a loss.

It is not a problem to say 'impossible' in this day and age to use horror comics and lawyer-type comics to suppress hot-blooded and sci-fi comics.

Yes, just not possible.

The reason is also very simple.

That's because these two comic themes don't have a market advantage at all.

Whether it is horror comics or lawyer-type comics, they do not have the slightest advantage in the market against hot-blooded comics and sci-fi comics.

Because the most popular subject matter of Japanese comics in this era is robot comics, and the so-called robot comics are actually comics in which the protagonist drives a huge robot to fight.

For Tianchao, the slightly more famous works are probably "EVA", "Envoy of Light", and "Dragon Fighter".

Pushing back from 1980, Japanese robot manga has been thriving, and it can't be stopped at the end, and it is very popular in the market.

As the saying goes, a hundred schools of thought contend and a hundred flowers bloom.

The abnormal development of the Japanese manga market has led to the proliferation of robot manga in the market, and the monotonous manga script has also led to the lack of excellent animation scripts, which has also brought the manga industry into a cold winter.

But even in the cold winter period, there is still a market for robot comics on the market.

This also caused them to be affected, but overall it was not that serious.

But Urashima Publishing House is different. As a publishing house that focuses on horror comics, its sales have been declining steadily after entering the cold winter period. It once made people feel that they were about to withdraw from the ranks of the three major publishing houses of comic magazines.

"But since Mr. Higashino next door joined Urashima Publishing House, this phenomenon has gradually stagnated."

Editor-in-Chief Yamano looked at the statistics table in front of him and couldn't help sighing.

This person is completely wild, suddenly appeared, and suddenly broke the deadlock of Urashima Publishing House.

The reason why it is said that Dong Yesi is a wild way.

That's because the editor-in-chief Yamano hadn't even heard of the name Higashino Division before, and he didn't even know which author it was.

After all, only those people come and go in the Japanese manga industry.

A comic magazine of a publishing house can serialize at most 20 works—that is, more than [-] comic authors.

How many manga magazine publishers are there in total in Japan?

In terms of conversion, there are actually only a few hundred comic authors and only a few hundred people. Naturally, they can figure it out after going back and forth.

So it's the first time I've seen a wild author like Higashino, and editor-in-chief Yamano.

And in the opinion of the editor-in-chief Yamano, Higashino's road to fame is also quite bizarre.

Generally speaking, if a newcomer author wants to serialize, he has to participate in the comic magazine's newcomer's monthly award once a month. First, rely on this method to confirm popularity, and then submit it to hold a serialization meeting after getting the first place.Check to see if it can be uploaded.

It can be said that there are very few authors like Higashino Division who pass the serialization meeting as soon as they submit their manuscripts.

It's completely mud legs.

The key is this kind of mud legs. Recently, they have beaten the Taizhuzi comics of Yanjiao Publishing House and Mozhu Bookstore a little bit.

After all, what Dong Yesi did was a bit complicated.

He is not only a manga, but also oil painting and mascot design.

These things have brought huge traffic to Higashino Division, far more than just a single item of "manga".

There is a good saying that animation looks down on comics, TV dramas look down on animation, and movies look down on TV dramas. This is a long-standing chain of contempt.

That's why the editor-in-chief Yamano felt very sad

The other party's comics and Kumamon merchandise are very popular, and they are not short of money at all, so they probably don't like poaching.

If you don't eat the soft ones, then come for the hard ones.

Find some people to write some soft articles, or dig up some black materials about Higashino Division and expose them

It's doable.

After all, in addition to fans of comics, Higashino has also brought a lot of fans from Kumamon himself.

If some of his scandals can be dug out, then his serial comics will definitely be affected.

Editor-in-Chief Yamano thought so, and he did.

But the paparazzi journalists he spent money on came back with a look of embarrassment and faltering.

I went to ask why the editor-in-chief Yamano found out that Higashino's parents met a murderer by chance when they went out and died immediately, leaving him alone to take care of his sister. The situation was extremely tragic.

In this case, he supported his entire family with manga, and he survived with his sister Higashino Chihaya

To be honest, when these words came out, even the paparazzi reporters were a little inexplicably admirable, thinking that Higashinoji was a man, like a Showa man.

The only thing that barely counts as a black spot is probably that he broke up with his girlfriend.

But breaking up is just a common thing. Who hasn't had a girlfriend in school?Never broke up?

Even if she wanted to dig deeper, Higashinoji's ex-girlfriend Asami Jianzhong shook her head firmly and said that the other party had nothing to do to her - even Higashinoji helped her a lot.

This grassroots comic author who rose from suffering sounds very inspirational.

If the editor-in-chief Yamano was not looking for the scandal of Higashino Division, he would have been moved to agree with the words of these paparazzi reporters.

Now, the editor-in-chief Yamano really has no choice.

Dong Yesi's bone is too difficult to chew.

It doesn't eat the soft ones, nor the hard ones, just like a hedgehog, it can't find a place to bite.

Since off-market tricks don't work, we still have to look at in-market tricks.

The single book sales that overwhelm Higashino from the front must at least suppress Higashino, so that he will not quickly establish his position in the comics industry.

For this reason, the editor-in-chief of Yamano also specially called the author of Taizhuzi from Mozhu Bookstore of Brother Publishing House to help refer to the works of the author of Taizhuzi on their side.

He turned his head and looked at the 30-year-old middle-aged man wearing glasses sitting on the side, and asked with a little worry: "How is Mr. Komori? Are you sure you can surpass Mr. Higashino in the next book sale?"

This middle-aged man is named Komori Ken, and he is one of the two mainstay authors that Yanjiao Publishing House is now offering.

"Well, it should be no problem." Ken Komori responded, pushed his glasses, and thought seriously: "The release of my next volume of comics happens to be the beginning of animation in the January schedule, and there will be animation to help promote it. There is no problem in suppressing Higashino-sensei's "Victor Is Justice" in sales of the booklet."

He seemed to be thinking hard, and what he said was sensible.

"The previous sales of single volumes were only sold by "Winner Is Justice" with more than 6 copies. With the help of animation, the gap should not be too big."

Animation to help publicize will indeed improve the sales performance of the booklet.

"Okay, I got it. I will arrange the order of the serialization and the promotion of the front page of the magazine a little bit. If I can successfully suppress Mr. Higashino, then Mr. Komori will give our Yanjiao Publishing House a face at this year's publishing house party. gone."

"I'll try my best."

Komori Ken smiled reluctantly, but in fact there was still some slander in his heart.

Because it is a top manga author like him who can most intuitively feel the gap between himself and Higashinoji.

that gap

a bit large.
