Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 210 Is This a Black Shop (4000 words!)

Now I almost don’t need to read it anymore. The single volume of "Unnatural Death" is so popular, and the sales will only continue to climb. As for the author who questioned whether "Unnatural Death" was just a work that was simply touted, now he has changed his previous attitude , expressed congratulations one after another, for fear that others would dig up what they said before, and pull them out to whip their corpses for the sake of heat.

"Unnatural Death" is hot, and "Unnatural Death" is also popular with the animated film "Midnight Ring".

The box office statistics of its movies were released very quickly - the average daily box office was 3.5 million yen, based on the 25-day release of "Midnight Bell", the total box office is about 87 billion yen!

It's only been in theaters for four days now, so there's still plenty of potential.

It has to be said that Motohashi Nobuhiro and Toda Shimitsu really fought a beautiful turnaround this time. They earned back not only money, but also their declining reputation in the industry.

It is said that when the box office came out on the first day, Motohashi Daohiro and Toda Shimitsu excitedly took a bunch of staff from the animation production team and went to a club in Ginza to celebrate the success overnight. As for the content of the celebration

This Dong Yesi is not clear.

Although the other party also asked him to go with him.

But to be honest, Higashino was a little surprised that "Midnight Bell" could achieve such a result.

In the original world, "Midnight Ring" ranked first in the history of Japanese horror movies with a box office of 120 billion yen. Even if the equally vicious "The Grudge" Kayako mother and son meet Sadako in "Midnight Bell", only let To open a way.

Higashino has no doubts about the quality of the plot of "Midnight Ring", but in this world, "Midnight Ring" is an animated film that is shown first, and there will definitely be a box office gap - after all, animated films are compared to live-action films. minority.

But he didn't expect that even under such various restrictions, "Midnight Ring" could still set off such a craze.

And Dong Yesi also saw various posts about "Midnight Ring" on the Internet.

What broke the TV at home after watching "Midnight Ring", why went to the movie theater today, and someone was so frightened that he went to the hospital.

These are pure rumors at a glance, similar to the water posts on Baidu Tieba in the previous Tianchao, just for fun.

At least Dong Yesi has not received the news that someone actually went to the hospital after watching "Midnight Ring".

If someone was really scared to death by "Midnight Ring", the production team of "Midnight Ring" probably held a press conference overnight to apologize to the deceased.

Apart from these purely rumored posts, perhaps what caught Higashinoji's attention a little bit was that someone was discussing the post-credits scene of "Midnight Ring".

Many people scolded Higashino Division with grievances on their faces.

A man with a girlfriend said that his thighs were going to be pinched purple by his girlfriend.

Those who didn’t have a girlfriend and brought their male friends to watch the movie said that they watched the movie, and a bucket of popcorn popped on their heads, but they were so scared that they didn’t dare to move because they were afraid It was true that Sadako ran behind her and put a bucket of popcorn on her head.

This group of Japanese friends who lived a good life was really scared.

You should know that this is just an animated movie, not a live-action movie.

If it's a live-action movie, maybe some people will be killed by then.

Higashino Division sighed in this way, feeling that Sadako Yamamura was worthy of being one of the most terrifying images of female ghosts back then. Even in this world, she is the kind who has a great reputation and kills without blinking an eye.

In addition to the "Midnight Ring" gang, there are also many people who approached Dong Yesi.

Some of these people are film investors, and some are people from film production companies.

They found Higashino Division through Urashima Publishing House, and most of them wanted to get a script from Higashino Division.

It can really be said that there are huge crowds of people, and there are all types of people from all over Japan.

It is no exaggeration to say that the threshold of the Higashino family was almost crushed.

This phenomenon is really understandable when you think about it rationally.

"Midnight Ring" has created such a profit, some investors and subsequent capital are of course jealous.

Not to mention anything else, just take advantage of the popularity to publish a novel version of "Midnight Ring" or put more effort into a live-action movie version of "Midnight Ring", which is enough to make a lot of money.

How did "Midnight Ringer" become popular?

Of course, it became popular because of the excellent quality of the script.

So who is the original author of the script?

This is of course Higashinoji.

So many people came to him, wanting to seek cooperation with Higashino Division.

After all, the other party's identity is a manga author, and in a sense, he is quite free. Maybe he still has some in stock?

There are many people with such ideas.

As for this, Higashino Division could only decline one by one with a smile.

He does have a lot of good scripts for horror movies, but those things must be kept for his own use. Selling scripts is simply a matter of cutting grass and roots. Of course, Higashino understands this.

But the refusal belongs to the refusal, Dong Yesi can be regarded as understanding the real situation of the industry's contempt chain

Previously, Higashino Division drew "Unnatural Death", which attracted the attention of half of the industry, but he couldn't attract these investors at all. As a result, the animated film "Midnight Bell" was a big hit, and these people came to him one after another.

The gap between them is indeed astounding.

Sure enough, the old adage is really echoed - those who make TV dramas look down on those who make animations, and those who make movies look down on those who make TV dramas.

true.

It's true.

After Higashino stood up and saw off the last group of people who came to visit, he called Higashino Chihaya who was staying at Konoe Lianghua's side to go home.

After all, so many people came at once, and Higashino Chihaya was extremely shy, so Higashino asked her to go to Konoe Lianghua's house in advance.

"Asi, Asi." Chihaya Higashino returned home, looked at Higashino Si curiously, and asked him seriously, "Did Asi get any awards again?"

"Why do you ask that?" Higashinoji was a little amused, not quite understanding what Higashino Chihaya meant.

"A Si must have won an award, that's why so many people came to the door, right?"

From Chihaya Higashino's point of view, winning the prize seems to be related to the number of visitors.

In her thinking, the award that Higashino won this time must be stronger than the last time, that's why so many people came to visit.

As expected of my younger brother, he is truly amazing.

She puffed up her chest inexplicably, with a feeling of being overwhelmed.

On the other hand, Higashinoji understood what she was thinking after thinking about it for a while.

He laughed twice, then reached out and touched Chihaya Higashino's head, without denying her: "Almost."

Hearing Dong Yesi's answer, Higashino Chihaya's snow-white face showed a look of pain in the next second, but she still ran to her room and took out the piggy bank: "A Si, let's go Let's celebrate."

"To celebrate?" Higashino Chihaya didn't expect Higashino Chihaya to make a decision so suddenly.

"Well, congratulations to Asi for winning the prize again this time." Higashino Chihaya raised the piggy bank she was holding.

It contained all her savings for the first half of the year.

Seeing Higashino Chihaya's appearance, Higashino Division also reached out to touch the piggy bank, and then asked her: "But isn't the money in it going to be used for my future marriage?"

"Well..." Chihaya Higashino's face clearly showed reluctance when she heard this sentence, but she quickly cheered up: "It's the wedding money for Asi, but last time the disciples of the Black Palace came to celebrate me. As Asi's older sister, of course you can't avoid using the money here."

When she said this, she was very confident, but she still looked serious.

Seeing this, Higashino couldn't help stretching out his hand to take the piggy bank: "If I want to go out to celebrate, I should pay for it myself. Miss Chihaya, you are responsible for saving the money for me."

"No." Higashino Chihaya shook her head vigorously, hugging the piggy bank tightly: "Just use the money in it."

She tilted her head halfway, and whispered, "I want to celebrate Asi and earn some money by working part-time. I'm sure the gap will be filled soon."

Chihaya Higashino became even more emboldened as she spoke.

It will be completed soon, so I don't know how long it will take to complete it.

And if my younger brother finds a girlfriend, he will definitely need a lot of money to consider getting married.

My younger brother found a girlfriend, so of course he had to consider getting married in the future.

Holding the piggy bank, she hesitated for a long time, her face was red, and she looked very embarrassed: "I'm sorry, Sister A Si is too useless to use the money for A Si's wedding ceremony."

"No such thing." Higashino Si looked complicated, then shook his head with a smile, reached out and touched Higashino Chihaya's head: "Thank you, Miss Chihaya."

Now that Higashino Chihaya has made up his mind, it is natural for Higashino Chihaya to continue to refuse-higashino Chihaya is stubborn, especially when it comes to things about him, this little girl is like a bull, the kind who bumps into Nan The type that the wall does not look back.

Now that you decide to go out, of course you have to think about where to eat.

Higashino Division thought of a place like an ordinary small family restaurant, which was affordable and affordable, and would not cost Higashino Chihaya too much.

But Higashino Chihaya shook his head, saying that he was going to a store with air conditioning and automatic doors.

In her world, it seems that a store with automatic doors is a very high-end store.

When Dong Yesi heard it, isn't this a very ordinary fast food restaurant?There is also that kind of store that is quite cheap. Since Higashino Chihaya wants to go, it is enough for Higashino Si to take her there.

The two began to prepare, and in the middle of the preparation, Higashino Chihaya suddenly stopped Higashinoji and asked him to call Konoe Lianghua over and go together.

She thought the money was for Higashinoji and Konoe Lianghua, of course

Higashinoji could only nod in agreement, and called Konoe Lianghua out.

"Go, to celebrate? With Miss Chihaya?" Konoe Lianghua's beautiful eyes widened when she heard this, and after a while, she asked in a low voice with some hesitation: "But Miss Qianhao never used that money ? Said it was the money for the wedding ceremony between me and Asi."

When it came to getting married, Konoe Lianghua paused five or six times in a row and stuttered before finishing.

After she finished speaking, she directly lowered her head, wishing she could bury her head in her chest, blushing uncomfortably.

Seeing her like this, Higashino Division also briefly explained the matter.

"Is that so? Then, how much money will Miss Qianzao have to save?" Konoe Lianghua still had a clear mind, she nodded, and emphasized in a low voice: "I will eat less."

There is no way, if she is letting go to eat, Higashino Chihaya's 20 yen may shrink to 10,000+ yen on the spot.

Although the set meals in fast food restaurants are not expensive, you still need to be restrained here!

Her words 'I will eat less' made Higashino couldn't help but look at her more, the suspicion in his eyes made Konoe Lianghua couldn't help stroking the short black hair by his ears in a panic: "I'm serious I really will eat less."

Seeing her flustered appearance, Higashinosi laughed happily, but he still said: "Sorry, Lianghua, I will make it up to you in the future."

Inviting a girl like Konoe Liangka with a particularly good appetite out for dinner and putting her on a diet is indeed torture.

Higashino Division, of course, would like to express compensation in the future.

The two discussed for a while, and Chihaya Higashino, who had already changed into her private clothes, came out of the room.

She has a good background, and with the slight frown on her brows and eyes, not only does she not look sad, but she looks like a melancholy beauty.

I really don't know if Higashino Chihaya is really a melancholy beauty after returning to normal.

At this time, she was holding the piggy bank with a cautious expression, as if she was afraid that a thug would rush out of nowhere and take away all her savings for half a year.

Seeing Higashino Chihaya's appearance, Higashino Si couldn't help but smile, and called her over.

The three of them went downstairs together and headed towards the commercial street.

When it comes to eating, Konoe Suzuka is of course the last to speak. As a person who has lived alone for two or three years, she has almost eaten all over Tokyo.

There are almost no delicious restaurants she doesn't know - even Liko Hasegawa's family knows this short, plump, pretty high school girl.

But fast food chains actually taste the same, Konoe Lianghua quickly found a good restaurant based on his memory.

The three of them sat down by the window, and the waiter next to them quickly brought up the menu and hot towels.

"It's so expensive!" Looking at the set meals on the menu that cost one or two thousand yen, Higashino Chihaya subconsciously hugged her piggy bank tightly.

Is this what Asi usually eats with himself?

it's too expensive

It seems that a lot of savings will be used at once.

But it's so expensive-

Is this a black shop?

Higashino Chihaya hesitated for a while, and finally chose the set meal he wanted to eat.

"When I bought the Mariana Trench bass, I obviously didn't spend so much money"

Seeing the waiter smiling and leaving with the menu, Chihaya Higashino couldn't help muttering.

It's so expensive.

Konoe Lianghua next to him looked at Chihaya Higashino's distressed expression, and also patted his head.

As if thinking about something.

　Thank you for the reward of [-] starting point coins for looking up to the sky!Thank you so much!Thanks to Nanasawa Tenren and Tianyu Amazawa for their rewards!Thank you so much!
