Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 199 Why Are You Not Afraid at All (4000 words)

There is nothing new about the awarding ceremony of the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Award. The only thing worth mentioning may be that the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Mano Noriko, looks pretty good. Although she looks ordinary, she feels easy to get along with.

Higashino Division received the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Award certificate from her, smiled at the camera and said a few words on the scene, expressing that he would continue to work hard and then stepped off the stage.

He is still thinking about what kind of comics he wants to draw, and he won the award ceremony, and his reputation has also risen. He can just mess around with other things, so he needs to be so serious.

But what Dong Yesi thought did not mean that the media people also thought the same way.

As the youngest young man present with a fair appearance, he can be said to be a hot spot in the news everywhere. Of course, these media reporters must keep a close eye on him.

As a result, as soon as the awards ceremony was over, Higashinoji, who had just stood up and hadn't taken two steps, was surrounded by these reporters for interviews. Most of the questions were "As the youngest recipient of the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Award in history, what do you have now?" what do you feel? ’ or ‘Can I get the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Award at this age, does Mr. Higashino have any tricks? '

Higashino Division answered several questions in a row with a smile, and only then did he express that he still had urgent matters at home, so he would no longer accompany him.

In the face of the media, as long as you don't fool them casually or lightly, and think carefully about the questions before answering them, it's not a big deal.

He quickly left the New National Theater of Japan, and even called a taxi before he couldn't see the crowd of reporters behind him.

Now it's clean.

Sitting in the back seat of the taxi, Higashino began to think about what kind of manga he wanted to draw.

To be honest, he has no shortage of good comic scripts, the key is just too difficult to choose.

What are you drawing?

Did you draw "Tokyo Love Story", which was popular in Japan?

This drama is not bad, and it was regarded as the holy scripture of love by many Japanese women back then. At that time, "Tokyo Love Story" became an instant hit and became the ancestor of "pure love Japanese drama".At that time, many Japanese women looked at it and had the feeling of "ah, it seems that this happened to me too". In addition, it is now 2005, and the trend of Japanese girl comics is booming, and many Japanese girls especially I like watching shoujo manga

Higashino Division thought for a while, then shook his head and killed "Tokyo Love Story".

The last time he drew "The Winner Is Justice" was already a slant in "The Chill", but it was a professional cartoon, and it could barely be justified.

But it would be a big joke to ask him to draw shoujo manga on "Aversion to Chill".

Regardless of whether Hosokawa Koharu agreed or disagreed, Higashino also felt that it was inappropriate.

So "Tokyo Love Story" cannot be selected here.

So is it painting "Hansawa Naoki"?This is simply a professional manga, and it will definitely not be a problem to be serialized on "Aversion to Cold", and each episode has a hot spot. It can be said that it was a mess in Japan back then, and it once again affected the hearts of the entire Japanese working community. Do you know how many paper media reported Hanzawa Naoki's news.The average audience rating of the final episode in the Kanto area was 42%, which was 2% higher than the average audience rating of "The Winner Is Justice". It is a real "magic work" in the eyes of the Japanese.

The last time Higashino Division and Hosokawa Koharu discussed it, they brought up a draft storyboard about it, but at that time, they felt that serious workplace manga such as "Naoki Hansawa" was not very popular, so they temporarily put it on hold and put it down.

But after half a year, he got to know the Japanese manga market, and found that what this parallel world just lacks is this kind of serious professional manga. If it really succeeds, then Higashino may be able to cut down the title of "father of Japanese workplace manga"— — This name is quite attractive, and in a sense, it can also increase Higashinoji's influence in the comics industry.

But to be honest, there are too few good scripts like "Hansawa Naoki", coupled with the muddy Japanese manga market nowadays, to come up with such a workplace manga that is purely about intrigue, rationally speaking, It still doesn't feel safe.

After all, TV dramas and comics are two different carriers.

Although Higashino's "Winner Is Justice" is popular, it is because the original TV series has a strong comic atmosphere. Strictly speaking, it is not a serious workplace script, and it is quite suitable for the market.

But "Naoki Hansawa" is different. It is completely about the workplace and human nature.

It's similar to "The White Tower". As a workplace drama, it also belongs to the very serious type.

"So before drawing "Hansawa Naoki", a transition is needed to see how the Japanese manga market accepts this kind of professional manga."

Higashino thought to himself.

How to find a workplace script that is popular among Japanese youths without making the atmosphere of the whole plot too serious is also the difficulty.

And Ozawada has stated his position, and the next two major publishing houses will suppress his new comics, using the number of comics to squeeze the number of fans of Higashinoji during the serialization period.

To be honest, as long as it is a man, he doesn't like to admit defeat, and so does Higashinoji.

The other party has already let the words go like this, so he must accept the move. H not only needs to accept the move, but also slaps them back with a single volume of sales, until their noses are bruised and their faces are swollen.

Careful consideration and repeated selection are required here.

Higashino Division couldn't help stretching out his hand to make slight gestures when he was thinking about it, and when he was concentrating on thinking, he inadvertently glanced at the system page.

Speaking of which, the system's next drawing skill 'Described Sound and Recorded Voice' requires a total of 500 million well-known points.

This is a big number, but when he glanced at the system's description of the painting skills of "Described Sound and Recorded Sound", Higashinoji was also a little curious-"Appreciators can hear the voice in the world of the work through your work. '

What does this sound refer to?

It's impossible for me to draw music-type comics.

Dongyesi was a little amused.

He can only be said to have a rough understanding of music theory, at most he knows the staff, and can help copy lyrics and music scores.

It is a bit difficult for him to draw the kind of comics that focus on music. This skill is a bit weak.

But the type of music?

A flash of light flashed in Higashino's mind, and then it froze, and the impression of a Japanese drama appeared in his mind.

"'Unnatural Death'."

This is a TV series that focuses on Japanese forensic medicine. It mainly tells about the forensic protagonist Sansumi Mikoto working in the private forensic organization UDI, and a series of stories derived from it.

Unnatural death, which was translated from China at that time, means death that occurs prematurely due to factors other than the law of life or disease development—that is, death such as murder and poisoning.

For this Japanese drama, Higashino Division actually liked it better at the time, after all, the rhythm of this drama is perfectly controlled.Back then, it even won six awards at the Japanese Drama Academy Award, known as the Oscars for Japanese TV dramas, and ranked among the top three in ratings for a long time.

In the previous first episode, the unit drama was used to draw out various characters and erect the character of the characters in the play, and there was also a gag full of "Japan's forensic autopsy rate is the last among developed countries" and the sentence "In Japan, there are Eighty percent of the deceased were arbitrarily labeled as dead and sent to cremation without forensic autopsy. '

This is indeed true in the drama "Unnatural Death". Japanese forensic medicine is a standard 7K job.

The 7K here does not mean earning 7000 yuan a month, but the so-called "tired, strict, unable to go home, strict regulations, no vacation, no makeup, no marriage" work.

I have this technology. I don’t know how good it is to be a doctor in Japan. I can earn a lot of money. Who wants to be a forensic doctor?

People who can be forensic doctors are basically people who use love to generate electricity.

This is also an important reason for the scarcity of Japanese forensic doctors.

Of course, what Dong Yesi values ​​is not the topicality of the drama "Unnatural Death", but its plot.

This play happens to be the 'compromise' choice that Higashino Division needs now.

And the plot is interesting enough, not too serious, but not as funny as "The Winner Is Justice", Higashino thinks it is absolutely no problem to draw it.

As a forensic professional drama, it is biased towards detective reasoning, which is also an advantage-there are many reasoning fans in Japan, and there are also reasoning comics on "Bad Chill".

The reason why Higashino thought of this drama is also the reason for the theme song "lemon" in this drama. Yonezu Kenshi was indeed a musical genius at that time in Japan. "Natural Death" has added a lot of extra points.

When he was in Tianchao, Dong Yesi often heard his apprentices who were learning to paint holding their mobile phones, calling 'baye, baye' from time to time.

There is also the painting skill of describing the sound and leaving the sound behind. Can you think of a way to fiddle with "lemon"?Because of the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Award, Higashino Tsukasa now has more than 250 million reputation points and continues to soar. Maybe he can reproduce the song "lemon" in "Unnatural Death".

The more Higashino thought about it, the more new ideas he had, the more interesting he felt.

Although the system has always had no sense of existence, it was unexpectedly helpful at this time, Higashinoji nodded in satisfaction.

Now that I have thought of this, let's choose "Unnatural Death", and by the way, I will catch up on the knowledge about forensic medicine in the past few days-it is enough to have a normal medical knowledge, and there is no need to be proficient.

He made a decision in his heart, and also gained confidence. He felt that "Unnatural Death" would definitely slap the other two big clubs in the face, so he got out of the car and walked towards his house.

He's going to figure out some details.

The goal is also set--

Slap the face of the two big clubs hard!

Hosokawa Koharu leaned on the office chair, his eyes were tightly wrinkled, and he sighed from time to time, his face was full of helplessness that could be seen.

No way, this is really helpless.

She had just come out of the office of the editor-in-chief of Urashima, and she also learned about the recent incidents that the other two major publishing houses might target her, the first-seeded player of Urashima Press, Higashinoji.

How does this not hurt her?

This time was different from the last time Ken Komori was unprepared. Whether it was Mozhu Bookstore or Yanjiao Publishing House, even the No. [-] thug like Ozawada was used.

It can also be seen from this that they have been sharpening their knives in secret for a long time, and they just want to chop off Dong Yesi's head in one fell swoop this time.

This is completely different from the villains in some novels and comics who wait for the protagonist to grow up slowly. Higashino has only been in the industry for a year, and they are thinking of doing it-is this too insincere?

In this regard, editor-in-chief Urashima also has two alternatives.

The first is to expect Higashino Division to come up with new and better manuscripts, but this approach is actually still somewhat disadvantageous.

After all, it is very unsafe to compete with comic authors from two major publishing houses on the same stage and compete for single-volume sales. Of course, the more stable the better for the publishing house.

The second option is to temporarily let Dong Yesi slow down the update, so there is no need to rush out the new manuscript.

Wait until the popular authors who have completed their works from the two major clubs come up with new comics, stagger the serialization date with Higashino, and then let Higashino start the serialization.

This method is much safer, and Higashino Division will not suffer too much loss, at most he will suffer a little anger.

two alternatives

Generally speaking, the second option is safer and more rational.

But Hosokawa Koharu knows what Higashino is like, and he took the initiative to give the editor-in-chief Yamano Yukio of Yanjiao Publishing House a soft nail last time, which can be seen.

He is definitely not someone who is willing to be angry and compromise.

Especially this kind of suffocation.

"Let's call first and ask Mr. Higashino's opinion." Hosokawa Koharu thought about it and took out the phone from the bag.

She was here to worry about the past, but she felt that the emperor was not in a hurry and the eunuchs were in a hurry. It would be better to ask Dong Yesi for his opinion first.

I don't know what Tonoji will think then

I don't know if Dong Yesi will be very disappointed, after all, he was targeted by the two major clubs.

That's not too bad.

If it was another author, it would probably be even more uncomfortable, and those with poor psychological quality would probably cry out. After all, this is enough to affect their income, that is, the sales of single volumes of comics.

As soon as Hosokawa Koharu put his hand on the phone button, the phone rang.

She picked up her phone and scanned it to call someone, only then was she a little dazed.

It happened to be Higashino Division calling.

What a coincidence, I was just about to call you.

After answering the phone, before she could speak on this side, Higashino Division on the other side had already said: "Hello? Editor Hosokawa, I just finished drawing a draft of the new manga storyboard, can you come over and take a look if you have time?"

what?

Hosokawa Koharu was planning to tell Higashino Division about the two major clubs with a straight mind, but he didn't expect that the first time the other party opened his mouth was the storyboard of the new manga draft.

In such an urgent time, why did Higashinoji not act urgent at all?

But it's natural to think about it again, Dongyesi didn't know that the two major clubs had joined forces to take his head.

It was only natural that he would be so calm and calm.

Thinking of this, Hosokawa Koharu said bluntly: "It's not Mr. Higashino. Let's put aside the matter of the draft storyboard for now. I have something to discuss with you. It's about Yanjiao Publishing House and Mozhu Bookstore."

"Is Editor Hosokawa talking about the union of the two major agencies? I already knew that."

"what?"

Listening to Higashino Division's voice answering with a smile, Hosokawa Koharu held the phone for a long time without speaking.

No, your reaction is wrong.

Not to mention the act of crying out loud, why don't you feel any sense of loss or fear?

　Thank you for the reward of [-] starting coins!Thank you so much!Thank you for remembering to smile more!Thank you so much!
