Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 221 Are you really going to go into battle? (8000 words)

"Teacher Higashino, are you going to cooperate with Oura Yuki?" Yumi Takahashi asked curiously as she looked at Higashinoji who had put on some mature and decent clothes.

"Well, if nothing else happens, we should cooperate." Higashinoji explained: "I want Yukie Oura to sing the song "Lemon" I wrote before."

"Really? Oura Xinge's singing skills are very good, and Mr. Higashino's very beautiful song is absolutely invincible!"

Hearing Takahashi Yumi use the word 'Unrivaled Under Heaven' without hesitation, Higashinoji hit her on the head directly: "Hurry up if you have nonsense."

She has always been in the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, so she must have something to ask Dong Yesi.

"Ms. Higashino, can you get me an autograph? It's from Yukie Oura." Yumi Takahashi laughed twice, finally revealing her true thoughts.

"Okay." It's not a big problem for Dong Yesi to ask for an autograph. Anyway, this time he cooperated in the past, and the other party will give this face no matter what.

"Really? Then I'll be impolite?" Takahashi Yumi immediately became interested, and her eyes sparkled.

"Why are you polite with me?" Dongyesi smiled and shook his head.

At this time, this guy became more polite.

Dong Yesi didn't pay much attention, just watched her turn around to get the autograph book.

then

Then Dong Yesi watched her come over with about a dozen autographed books, and he was still chanting: "This is Atong's, this is Datou's, and this is Meixiang's."

Dong Yesi looked at her and was a little speechless.

I told you not to be impolite, but you are too impolite, right?

But he didn't care too much, and simply stuffed these miscellaneous things into his shoulder bag, and didn't bother to care who belonged to who, at worst, he would ask Oura Xingjiang to help sign it when the time came.

After dealing with Takahashi Yumi's affairs, Higashino Division turned around and asked Fujiwara Aoi: "Aoi, is there anything I can help you bring?"

"Huh? How should I say it?" Fujiwara Aoi heard that Higashino was still thinking about her at this time, so she hesitated for a while, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she shook her head: "I don't want anything in particular, Higashino-san."

"Then I'll take a step forward."

Since Fujiwara Aoi didn't have anything to bring with him, Higashinoji didn't hesitate and went out without hesitation.

After all, punctuality is very important common sense in Japan.

Higashino went out and went down, first took a car to Urashima Publishing House.

Today's Urashima Publishing House is different from the previous Urashima Publishing House.

As soon as he entered the office building, Higashino Division could see the characters in his comics everywhere.

The hideous and distorted Sadako standing signboard, the "Winner Is Justice" poster on the wall, Kensuke Gumeimen is full of face art, "The Lonely Gourmet" Inokashira Goro from the 23 districts of Tokyo to various places in the special episode Posters and posters of the most popular comic "Unnatural Death".

The only ones that can be posted on the walls of Urashima Publishing House are Meisa Kuromiya's "Between Dolls" and "The Island of Desolation".

Such a huge publishing house has now become the shape of Higashinoji and Kuromiya Meisa.

You know it wasn't like this a year ago.

Even Ms. Uzaki, the counter receptionist who greeted Higashino Tsukasa with a smile, couldn't help sighing—the young man who first entered Urashima Publishing House with "Midnight Bell" has now become a real pillar of the industry.

Regardless of whether it is placed in any publishing house, Higashino Division is a resource worth fighting for.

But Higashinosi is actually not arrogant, and he can have a lively chat with her, the reception lady, which makes people feel good.

Higashinoji didn't care about the thoughts of Ms. Uzaki as the receptionist. After all, in this society, if you can make good friends with others, you should try your best to make good friends, so as not to find someone to help you when you need help.

The interpersonal relationship still needs to be managed well.

He went upstairs, and Hosokawa Koharu, who was preparing various books and documents, quickly came down again.

The next step is to visit Oura Xingjiang.

Although the other party is a new-generation singer, he actually already has his own small studio, which can be regarded as an independent existence from the singer and entertainer's office.

All this is also because her song "The Pirate Ship of Emotion" has achieved good results - it is very famous among girls, it has ranked first in the distribution list for three consecutive weeks, and the total distribution downloads have reached 75 times. A girl like Konoe Liangka who doesn't care much about the current pop music can sing a few lines.

With "The Pirate Ship of Emotion", she released several songs in a row, all of which achieved good results. Later, she sold the track's collaboration album, and even won the fourth place in the Oricon chart.

Because of this, she set up her own studio, and she can be regarded as one of the more prosperous singers of the younger generation.

However, compared with Kenshi Yonezu, a talented singer who has come out of a high degree of autism, Oura Yukie is still a little less legendary.

Higashinoji and Hosokawa Koharu soon came downstairs to Oura Yukie's studio. After Hosokawa Koharu made a phone call, someone came down to greet him.

It was a middle-aged man with a serious face who came to greet him.

"Hello, I'm Hosokawa Koharu, the editor of Urashima Publishing House."

Hosokawa Koharu reached out and shook the middle-aged man.

"Hello, I'm Muroi Hanpei, the person in charge of Mr. Oura's affairs."

After the two shook hands, it was considered a meeting. At the same time, Hosokawa Koharu did not forget to introduce Higashinoji next to him: "The one next to me is the manga author of "Unnatural Death" Higashinoji."

"Hello, Mr. Muroi." Higashinoji stretched out his hand to imitate, and followed Hosokawa Koharu's imitation to shake hands with each other.

"Hello, Mr. Higashino, please go upstairs to discuss the details." Muroi Hanhei reached out his hand and briefly shook Higashino Tsukasa, motioning them to go upstairs.

His attitude was not too enthusiastic, nor too indifferent, it could only be described as ordinary.

This made Higashino couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

But Higashinoji didn't pay too much attention to such trivial matters, he followed Muroi Banping upstairs, walked into the reception room and sat down.

When the two of them were seated, Muroi Hanhei asked bluntly, "Is it Mr. Higashino who wants to cooperate with our Mr. Oura on the theme song?"

"That's right." Hosokawa Koharu nodded: "We should have made an agreement before, where is Mr. Oura?"

She looked around twice, but she didn't see the figure of Oura Yukie.

"Ah, please wait a moment, I'll call and ask." Muroi Hanpei stood up, took out his mobile phone, apparently to contact Oura Yukie.

Higashinoji and Hosokawa Koharu had no objection to this, and it would be fine to wait a little longer.

only

This time, Higashinoji and Hosokawa Koharu waited for 15 minutes.

No matter how indifferent he felt at this moment, Higashinoji also sensed something was wrong.

As I said before, punctuality is the first thing to pay attention to in Japan, especially when such companies are discussing cooperation with each other, how could someone leave the partner in the studio and wait for 15 minutes?

How can this be?

Higashino Division frowned, and Hosokawa Koharu next to him also looked impatient from calm to now: "Mr. Muroi, how long will Teacher Dapu be back?"

"I should wait another 15 minutes. Oura-sensei has an MTV show to be recorded today." Muroi Hanpei answered, and at the same time asked: "Before then, can editor Hosokawa show me the numbered notation of the song?"

The other party's tone was full of scrutiny and distrust of the theme song provided by Urashima Publishing House, which made Hosokawa Koharu and Higashino Tsukasa frown.

Not to mention taking out the numbered musical notation, Hosokawa Xiaoharu didn't even move, his eyes turned cold on the spot.

Her lips moved slightly, and just as she was about to speak, Dong Yesi smiled and said cheerfully: "Do you think the songs we provided are not good enough?"

"We are not out of such doubts, but we heard that the creator of this song is Mr. Higashino. There is a difference between songs and paintings. I hope Mr. Higashino can understand this. At least let us look at the numbered notation."

"Really?" Higashinosi stood up calmly, and shook his head: "It seems that there is nothing to talk about."

He turned his head to look at Xiaochun Hosokawa, who couldn't hold back anymore, and said simply, "Let's go, Editor Hosokawa."

"Huh?" Hosokawa Koharu was on the verge of getting mad at first, after all, he was treated so coldly when he came here.

But after hearing Dong Yesi's words, she was instinctively taken aback.

The smile on Higashinoji's face had long since disappeared, replaced by an impenetrable calm.

Seeing Higashinoji's expression, Hosokawa Koharu couldn't help but nodded, stood up with a cold face, and planned to leave.

Seeing all this happening, Muroi Hanpei, who had a serious face, also showed a surprised expression. He and Oura Xinge always thought that it was Higashinoji who took the initiative to seek cooperation with them, and they had the initiative.

In the end, he didn't expect Dong Yesi to be so decisive, and he was about to leave immediately.

So he immediately stood up: "Teacher Higashino, we are still in the middle of the meeting, and Teacher Oura will be here soon. Isn't it a little thoughtless of you to do this?"

"Lack of consideration?" Higashino Division looked at Muroi Hanpei with a little amusement: "What is my identity, what is Oura Xingjiang's identity? I am a singer who has the best score distribution list for three weeks. Why should I waste my precious time to think about her?"

Is my social status lower than hers or do I make less money than hers?

As a manga author, Higashino has vaguely become the father of Japanese professional manga, and his subordinates have countless fans. "The moonlight is so beautiful" and "Summer is over" were hailed as the golden sentences in Japan in 2003 and 2004. In addition to the previous "Midnight Ring" animation film and his winning the Ministry of Science and Technology Minister's Award, his social status must be much higher than that of Oura Xingjiang.

As for making money?

Then there is no need to talk about it.

Kumamon's copyright fee, "Midnight Ring", "The Lonely Gourmet", "Unnatural Death", "The Winner Is Justice" and other booklets have earned Higashino a lot of money. In terms of earning ability alone, Higashino The company can really crush Oura Yukie.

""Unnatural Death" will sooner or later be turned into a TV series or an animation. I am not worried that no one will buy it as a phenomenon-level manga with an average sales volume of 150 million volumes."

Higashino Division said with a smile: "Mr. Muroi, I think you should set your positions. I talk to you on an equal footing, not because you have reached a height comparable to mine, but just because I am willing to talk to you on an equal footing."

As soon as he said this, Muroi Hanpei had nothing to say.

If I don't want to, no one can stop me!

You must know that the Japanese national-level singers of Higashino Tsukasa’s previous life were not half as big as this naive Oura Yukie. Even national-level singers like Sakai Izumi and Nakashima Mika back then sang the theme song for animation. How can you do it in front of me? So pretentious?

Who gave you the courage?No. [-] on the distribution list for three consecutive weeks?

The attitude is straightforward and it is acceptable, which is tolerable.

Ordinary hospitality is fine, and I don't care.

It's just that you didn't even serve us a cup of tea, and made us wait for a full 15 minutes, and then you reached out to ask for the numbered notation, and your tone was full of scrutiny and suspicion. What does it mean?

"It's really a shameless thing." Higashino Tsukasa unceremoniously pointed at Muroi Hanpei's nose and cursed, and pulled Hosokawa Koharu away without any hesitation.

He is not afraid of making enemies, after all, the difference between comics and music is more than half a street.

He just felt that it would be a waste for Oura Yukie to sing such a good song as "Lemon"!

And without Oura Xingjiang, can't find other candidates?Do you really think of yourself as an onion?

If I can't find anyone, why don't I go into battle myself?

The high quality of "Lemon" can't worry about kicking you off the distribution list?What do you count?

Higashino Division is really over the top.

To be honest, this is the first time he has taken the initiative to swear.

After all, what the other side is doing is not quite like what normal people can do.

The day before yesterday, Dong Yesi was still lamenting that there should be no such low EQ people in the world, good guy, I met him today.

There really are people who really take themselves seriously.

Here I still have to say that reality really does not pay attention to logic.

At least it was the first time Higashino Division met such a person.

At the same time, he couldn't help but want to use "Lemon" to give Oura Yukie a hard kick in the ass, making her fall from the number one position on the distribution list.

Let her know what a rare song she lost today.

This is Tonoji's idea.

Of course, this is not to say that Higashinoji is going to give up drawing manga and change careers to become a singer.

But today's incident is really annoying, Dong Yesi really has the idea of ​​going into battle by himself.

I personally used "Lemon" to kick Oura Xingjiang off the distribution list.

This is Tonoji's idea.

As for the singer, to be honest, Higashino has no interest.

Just want to simply fight for breath.

after all

People live to fight for their breath.

Otherwise, others will treat you as a softie, easy to bully.

This time it is really going to go into battle.

If he didn't kick Oura Yukie hard, Higashinoji felt uncomfortable all over.

　Thank you for your tip when you are drunk!Thank you so much!
