Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 248 Are You Really an Alien?
Higashino directly asked the supervisor who was hired by Hosokawa Koharu to take the position of Yano Ryuichi, which also made his heart cool down a lot. He felt that there was something wrong with him, and Higashino wanted to take him Get a knife, kill chickens and monkeys.

As the saying goes, when a new official takes office, there are three fires, and he should be the first fire, right?
At that time, Yano Ryuichi was depressed for a long time, but fortunately, Higashino Division gave him a lot of work later, which made Yano Ryuichi readily agree, with a happy expression on his face. He thought that Higashino Division would tear him down before crossing the river. What about the bridge?

But when he saw the new work content, Yano Ryuichi was a little confused.

Because I am an animation director, why did I have to contact the single CD publisher and this matter fell on me?
Negotiation, cooperation, this kind of thing is the hardest.

I don't know why, Higashino Division wants to give him the job of animation supervision.

He was a little dumbfounded, but he still steadfastly completed the work assigned by Dong Yesi.

But to be honest, as an animation supervisor, he still wants to participate in the production of "The Winner Is Justice".

But what Yano Ryuichi didn't expect was that Higashino Division asked him to contact the investor and asked him to persuade the investor of "Winner Is Justice"——

After all, although it was announced to continue the production, the investor who actually paid for it still had some doubts that Dongye Studio could produce a finished product that satisfied them in a short period of time.

This was another difficult problem, but according to Higashinoji, Yano Ryuichi had no choice but to bite his head to complete it, and because of this, he lost a lot of hair.

But Yano Ryuichi didn't care at all - he was still young, how could he become a middle-aged dandelion prematurely because of such a trivial matter?

Dong Yesi saw his performance and couldn't help but nodded.

Yano Ryuichi is really easy to use as a partner, and he cannot be pressured to work all the time, and he should be rewarded when it should be rewarded, and his salary should be raised when it is time to raise his salary.

As for the production of "The Winner Is Justice" on the other side.

Higashino Division is not a god, even if he alone can stand up to several original painters, it will only be a temporary delay in improving the current situation.

The real key lies in the apprentices of Qianxia Yamagami. The reason why Higashinoji invests so much energy in them is to let them quickly accumulate experience and become qualified original painters.

For this reason, of course, we have to spend some energy to train them.

And the results obtained are also gratifying. Over the past few days, not only the level of the original painting of Yamagami Chinatsu as the assistant has improved, but also the other two apprentices have gained a lot of understanding of the original painting of "The Winner Is Justice". .

This lifted Higashinoji's spirits.

If the current lineup of original artists adds three more, it will basically be able to catch up with the production cycle of "The Winner Is Justice".

And most importantly, because of Japan's lifetime employment system.

Chinatsu Yamagami and the other two apprentices actually signed long-term contracts with the original PW animation production company, and training them is equivalent to adding three capable people to his Higashino studio and acquiring three original painting talents. In any case, the business is profitable.

The remaining original paintings of "The Winner Is Justice" preserved by Yuto Okinawa also played a role. There are still three and a half months left for the construction period, about fifteen weeks, and it should be possible to produce "The Winner Is Justice" .

Higashino Division held back his energy, and the quality of the original painting "Victor Is Justice" in his hand was getting higher and higher. On the contrary, there was a quality gap with other people. I have inquired a lot about the drawing of original paintings. This is the first time I have heard of a person whose quality is too high, but has a fault with other people-is this still a person?

At the same time, Higashino Division's "Unnatural Death" has not fallen behind.

A new event in "Unnatural Death" tells the story of Mikoto Sansumi's assistant, clinical examiner Yuko Tokai, who was drugged into a stupor during a friendship (a kind of activity similar to a blind date in Japan), but when she woke up But found that the man around her was dead, and she was suspected of being the murderer. Even Sansumi Mikoto didn't know how to exonerate her for a while, so the two had to investigate quietly
This incident is regarded as an excessive incident, and more strictly speaking, it is actually an incident set up to bury the foreshadowing of Kube Rokuro.

But even so, many fans think it is very exciting.

This is the advantage of criminal investigation and reasoning novels, comics, and TV dramas in Japan.

The Japanese have always preferred this type of subject matter.

While Higashinoji was so immersed in painting, Yamagami Chinatsu, who had been observing from the side, was shaken in her heart.

She only learned how to draw original paintings from Higashinoji for a few days, so it is not easy to evaluate Higashinoji's communication skills, but there is one thing that she can directly evaluate - Higashinoji's ability is too strong.

Although Qianxia Yamagami was still crazily saying the word 'no' in her heart a few days ago, she can't speak out against her conscience after these few days. Higashinoji is indeed very capable.

No matter what kind of problem, no matter what kind of difficulty, as long as it is related to painting, Higashino can easily solve it, and he is also very skilled and experienced in teaching people.

It's just that after studying with Dongyesi for a few days, Dongyesi didn't always maintain a good temper, and he just criticized him harshly.

Especially when Qianxia Yamagami made the same mistake several times, Higashinoji would naturally not be like some heroines in novels, because the other party is a woman and he is used to her.

If you should scold, scold!Otherwise, I will not have a long memory!
It's just that although he was scolded by Higashinoji several times, Qianxia Shangami felt inexplicably that he deserved to be scolded a few times.
This subtle psychological feeling made Qianxia Shangami very suspicious of life. Why did she feel so trembling?Suddenly fell in love with being scolded?Even if Director Higashino is good-looking, it won't matter.

Perhaps it was Higashinoji's 'good-looking' boss who played a role.

Qianxia Yamagami worked very hard, and she was actually the one who made the fastest progress among the several apprentices they were educated at the same time.

This surprised Dong Yesi a little, he didn't expect that the deputy girl whom he scolded for being the least talented was the one who made the fastest progress.

He also knows the situation of Qianxia Yamagami. The other party graduated from an ordinary short college in Nagoya, which is not as good as the other two apprentices who graduated from a formal art university. Moreover, her family is very poor, and she was not allowed to accept relative education when she was a child. I have a good art education, and I finally came to Tokyo, and I guess I came here to work hard.

This made Higashino sigh a bit, it seems that "hard work" is indeed the most effective way to change one's own destiny, while "noble person" and "opportunity" are too few.

He decided to take care of Qianxia Yamagami—every time he checked the original paintings she drew, they were three or four points higher than the quality requirements of the other two apprentices.

This greatly increased the time for Qianxia Shangami to be scolded, and caused Qianxia Shangami to feel an inexplicable sense of fear every time she saw him, feeling that she would be picked up by Higashinoji in the next second and scolded severely. , Qianxia Yamagami also felt that Higashinoji hated her a little bit, or why did she always hold her as a model and scold her?

She hesitated for a long time, but she still didn't dare to ask Dong Yesi the reason, for fear that she would be hanged and beaten by Dong Yesi if she said something wrong.

On the other side, Shinichi Kudo and Yoji Minagawa saw that Higashinoji, the real studio owner, was working so hard, and felt the pressure doubled.

After all, as the owner of the studio, Higashinoji has worked so hard, how could they dare to leave work early?Leaving get off work earlier than my own boss, isn't this looking for death with a lantern?
Of course, the attitude of the supervision team and Higashino Division also affected the original painting team. Many original painters really experienced an indescribable sense of frustration from Higashino Division.

Really frustrating.

Higashinoji's paintings are so good that some of the original painters doubt whether they have worked for seven or eight years.

Every line drawn by Higashino is just right. In the past few days, he has drawn nearly a hundred original paintings. The erasers are still brand new, and there is no trace of using erasers at all.

They were frustrated first, doubted life, then became numb at the end, and finally developed a bit of admiration, and their moods changed extremely quickly.

This made Higashinoji, who was watching from the side, sigh a little.

The Japanese are indeed a race that worships the strong by nature, and the speed of this transformation is so fast that he didn't expect it to be so fast.

But that's good, it's good for his painting supervision work, no matter how many revision requests are made to these original painters, they will basically not refute, and they are willing to take the initiative to make revisions, which is a good thing.

Everything in the studio is running normally.

But the work pressure is indeed very high, and it is no wonder that there are so many overtime deaths in Japan.

Konoe Lianghua, who has been paying attention all the time, can tell that Higashinoji's complexion has indeed deteriorated recently.

She was very distressed, but she didn't know what to do, so she could only go to Dong Yesi's house to help cook every day, and gave Dong Yesi some head massages by the way.

I have to say that Konoe Lianghua's massage method is really good.

Press the slender fingers on the acupuncture points with neither light nor heavy force, it feels like soft cotton candy
This made Higashino highly praised, and felt that if she gave up painting, which she was not good at, and opened a massage shop, no, such a good thing would naturally be enjoyed by herself. What kind of massage shop should she open?

He threw away this distracting thought, and couldn't help asking: "Lianghua, I suggest adding head massage to the daily menu, and come here every day to help press it."

Konoe Lianghua blushed at this teasing tone, and hurried out to pour a cup of coffee for Higashinoji before leaving.

Higashinoji didn't feel bad at all, Konoe Lianghua's character is like this, soft, it's nothing to refuse for the first time.

If it's a big deal, let him grind it a few more times, and after a lot of grinding, Konoe Lianghua naturally agreed.

He picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, only to find a small note under it.

It says 'okay' in Japanese in cute round script.

After a big detour, Konoe Lianghua finally agreed.

This encouraged Higashino Division to regain his spirits.

Shanshang Qianxia, ​​who had been sitting next to her, also suffered because of this. Higashinoji found many loopholes in her original paintings and asked her to modify them one by one.
However, what made Qianxia Yamagami a little relieved was that although he was scolded, Higashinoji also raised the salaries of the three apprentices accordingly.

This went on smoothly for two weeks.

Qianxia Yamagami was barely familiar with Higashinoji's rhythm, and the frequency of being scolded dropped from nine out of ten to seven out of ten.

On this day, she bought rice balls and drinks for breakfast, and went straight into the studio.

From a distance, she saw the light on the work table at Dong Yesi's side.

"Mr. Higashino, good morning." Qianxia Yamagami bowed her head respectfully and called out.

But after she yelled, she realized that something was wrong. Why was her attitude so soft all of a sudden?Could it be that she was also suppressed by Dong Yesi?Don't even dare to lift your head?
"Well, good morning, Qianxia." Higashinosi nodded with a smile, and then the needle pen in his hand continued to dance.

He was about the same age as Qianxia Yamagami, so he just called her by the last name, and Qianxia Yamagami didn't have any objection to this. After all, Higashinoji was considered half of her teacher, and it was just a name, so it wasn't a big problem.

This made Yamagami Qianxia a little confused. If Higashinoji was drawing the original painting, it should be easier to modify it with a pencil instead of using a needle pen.

She moved closer to see the situation, but before she could get close, Higashino raised her head and asked incomprehensibly, "Qianxia, ​​do you have anything to say?"

I am quite satisfied with Chika Higashinoji on the mountain, after all, the other party is improving very fast, at least in the production of the original painting of "Victor Is Justice", there is no need for him to talk too much.

"No, nothing." Shan Shang Qian Xia hurriedly withdrew her gaze and replied in a low voice.

Her pretentious expression made Dong Yesi feel a little funny, your eyeballs almost fell to my side just now, and you still said no, he put down the dip pen, smiled and said: "Don't say such polite words as no problem, you I know I'm annoyed by this."

Higashinoji's words made Yamagami Qianxia cough twice.

After two weeks of getting along, she probably got a little idea of ​​Dongyesi's character. Although he looked cheerful and slow on the surface, in fact Dongyesi always spoke and acted vigorously.

Unlike many traditional Japanese.

A phrase like 'don't say polite words' can be heard.

"I'm a little curious about what you are painting, Mr. Higashino." Qianxia Yamagami asked.

"Oh. This is the promotional image for the poster of the sixth volume of "Unnatural Death". I will borrow markers to color it later."

Higashino replied with a smile, and then picked up the A4 sketch paper in his hand.

"Ah? Higashino-sensei, are you still preparing for the serialization of "Unnatural Death"?"

Qianxia Yamagami has been working for the past few days, and she is so exhausted that she has long forgotten about Higashinoji and the comic "Unnatural Death".

Unexpectedly, Higashino is still preparing for the serialization of "Unnatural Death" with more than twice her workload
Aren't you an alien who accidentally landed on Earth?
