Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 249 Songs Included in Japanese Textbooks (4000 words!)
If someone really pointed at someone and said, 'This man is a genius, his achievements cannot be underestimated', it is estimated that Qianxia Yamagami would just sneer at it and not care at all.

But if someone really pointed at Dong Yesi and told her this sentence, she would definitely lift her foot and kick it - aren't you talking nonsense?

Tonoji is indeed unusual.

Qianxia on the mountain muttered to herself, before she sat down, Higashinosi stopped her: "Excuse me, Qianxia, ​​can you bring me a bottle of mineral water? I still can't keep my hands open."

"Why don't you drink coffee like you usually do?" Shan Shang Qianxia raised her butt up again before it landed, and asked curiously.

After she finished speaking, she almost couldn't hold back and slapped herself again. The boss of the studio said that she wanted mineral water, so why did she talk too much?And how did I notice the detail that Higashinoji is usually drinking coffee?I didn't pay much attention to him, did I?
Dong Yesi didn't care about such trivial matters, he just responded: "I don't drink coffee anymore, I always drink coffee while sitting at the work table, I'm afraid that my body will get worse if I drink it. bad."

Hearing Higashinoji's answer, Qianxia Yamagami didn't hesitate, and simply stood up and walked out of the studio.

There is a vending machine installed outside Dongye Studio, where they usually buy water.

Shan Shangqian went outside, lowered her body halfway, just put in a coin to get a bottle of water, and then heard a voice behind her: "Excuse me, Miss, is this Dongye Studio?"

Ok?
Qianxia Yamagami turned her head to the side in a strange way and looked behind her.

This is a handsome young woman who speaks softly and looks very polite.

"It's indeed Higashino Studio." Qianxia Yamagami was stunned, but still nodded.

However, she still looked up and down the young woman with some vigilance.

After all, Dongye Studio has not announced the address to the public for the time being, and she feels that the other party may be an interviewer or someone with bad intentions.

In fact, it’s not surprising that Chinatsu Yamagami would have such an idea. After all, the old ruins of PW Animation Company are still there, but there is no decent “Menban” (doorkeeper), so many employees of Higashino Studio are concerned about This kind of outsider is very wary, for fear that he will be the next person to be inexplicably blown to ashes.

But the woman didn't care about Qianxia's vigilant gaze on the mountain.

She just immediately showed a professional smile for office use, took out her work certificate, and introduced herself: "Hello, I am the editor of the weekly "Aversion to Chill", Xiaochun Hosokawa, and I am also the editor in charge of Mr. Higashino."

Mr. Higashino's editor?
Qianxia Yamagami carefully scanned the other party's work certificate, and then her attitude changed 180 degrees: "So it's the editor Hosokawa of "Bad Cold". Hello."

She held the other person's hand, thankful in her heart that she didn't chase him away or act rude just now.

Otherwise, if the other party whispers in Dong Yesi's ear, wouldn't it be all over for him?
This Hosokawa Koharuyama from Urashima Publishing House has also been heard by Qianxia. After all, as the editor who discovered the cash cow of Higashinoji, she is also a big celebrity in the industry. Many people speculate that she has a pair of With sharp eyes, one can tell at a glance whether this person is talented and suitable for this job, and she and Higashinoji also have a good story-it is said that Hosokawa Koharu has more than once cooperated with Urashima Publishing House's "Aversion to Cold" for Higashinoji. "The editor-in-chief had a dispute. So some people think that she and Higashino Division are more than friends.

It's just that this is at most some gossip in the industry, it can't be taken as true, at most it can be used as an after-dinner talk.

But luckily.
Even if it is a rumor, it can be seen that the relationship between the editor Hosokawa and Higashino Division, the relationship between the two is indeed unusual.

Just as Qianxia Shangami was sighing, Xiaochun Hosokawa smiled and said: "Miss Shanzhang, to be honest, this time I came to look for Mr. Higashino. I had contacted him before, and he said he was here."

"Ah, it is indeed inside, please come in."

Qianxia Yamagami stepped aside and invited Hosokawa Koharu to enter.

"I'm sorry." Hosokawa Koharu nodded with a smile, looking very calm.

But the anxious movements of her feet did not show a calm temperament at all. It was three steps that turned into one step. In a few steps, she walked to the side of Higashino Si who was holding a needle pen to draw, and said hello: "Teacher Dongye."

Seeing this hurried appearance, Qianxia on the mountain was speechless for a while.

If you want to say that the two of them are not tricky at all, she won't believe it, okay?

"Ah, Editor Hosokawa, are you here to collect the manuscripts for the original poster? Please sit on the sofa next to me and wait a while, the drawing will be finished soon." Higashino replied with a smile.

"I've said it all, Higashino-sensei, while you're drawing "The Winner Is Justice", you're serializing "Unnatural Death" and the monthly "Lonely Gourmet" needs to be dealt with. This is indeed too tiring." Hosokawa Koharu complained One sentence: "You've never delayed submitting a manuscript before the deadline."

Qianxia Yamagami could see that the relationship between Hosokawa Koharu and Higashinoji was extraordinary just by sitting by and watching, so she was even more fortunate.

"It's okay, I have trained three new original artists." Higashino replied with a smile: "Miss Shan Shang is one of them, plus the original artists you hired by Editor Hosokawa, now " The drawing work of Winner Is Justice basically didn’t involve me, they were able to complete it themselves.”

"Really...? It would be best if your workload can be relaxed a bit." Hosokawa Koharu obviously hesitated after sitting down.

Dong Yesi also saw her expression, so he stopped the needle pen in his hand, and at the same time picked out the color number of the marker pen he needed, and while painting the color on the original poster, he asked a funny question: "Except for "Unnatural Death?" "In addition to the original painting, does Editor Hosokawa have any other requirements?"

"Indeed there are, and I don't hide from Mr. Higashino." Hosokawa Koharu tidied up his words a bit: "...Actually, it's like this."

She told Dongyesi the general story of the matter. Higashinosi was a little funny at first, but after listening to it, he straightened his face again, raised his eyebrows, and fell into deep thought.

As for Chinatsu on the nearby mountain.
She was stunned, and at the same time couldn't help but glanced at Dong Yesi, thinking that this guy must be an alien from an alien planet, so she had no choice but to run away.

Because what Hosokawa Koharu said really made her feel unbelievable.

"Teacher Higashino, the music textbooks for junior high schools in Japan have been re-edited recently. A government employee from the Ministry of Education and Culture came to your door yesterday. I hope you can write a song for the music textbooks for junior high schools. The style of the song should be more uplifting."

The other party asked a manga author to ask for music and songs. This was indeed something Qianxia Yamagami did not expect.

But she reacted.

It’s okay to ask Higashinoji for music works. Originally, Higashinoji also wrote lyrics and composed music part-time. She also watched the short animation "Even though our hands are empty". I got teary-eyed.

Whether it's the lyrics or the song, it's very good - Chinatsu Yamagami doesn't know much about music, so I can only use 'good' to describe it.

"What do you think, Mr. Higashino?" Hosokawa Koharu asked while sitting beside him.

To be honest, she actually hoped that Higashino would agree to this matter. After all, this is a real opportunity to become famous - the work is published in textbooks, which is an opportunity that many people dream of.

After all, this is more convincing than any award.

It's just that like an excellent lyricist and composer, it's not easy to come up with a good song within a year, and it takes a long time to lay the groundwork.

She found Higashinoji suddenly, and then spoke suddenly. To be honest, even Hosokawa Koharu felt that Higashinoji was a bit too embarrassed.

"Hmm." Higashino frowned and thought for a while, then stroked his chin with some amusement.

He really didn't expect it.

The manga career that I have worked so hard for has just entered the ceiling of Japan, but the music career that I am not very interested in suddenly popped up, and I was caught off guard.

This causal rotation is really interesting.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, music is just a simple sideline, and it is hard for others to find excellent works that can be included in textbooks. It is not particularly rare for Higashinoji.

And the most important thing is that the work is included in the teaching materials, which means that I can earn a lot of famous points-it is indeed a lot of money, and it is valid for a long time.

This made Higashino Division naturally a little concerned.

"How do you feel? Teacher Higashino?" Hosokawa Koharu, who was sitting next to him, asked, and took the initiative to remind: "It's okay even if you don't have a good work in hand, and you can refuse it over there."

Urashima Publishing House has a big business and is not afraid of these politicians at all.

After all, the status of the Japanese government has always been very low. This can also be seen from the behavior of Japanese social critics who point at the Japanese Prime Minister and yell at him.

"No need to refuse." Higashino replied with a smile: "When will this song be needed?"

"I don't need it. Reject it? But, Higashino-sensei and the others need a high-quality song that is on the same level as "Lemon" or "Even though our hands are empty""

Of course, Higashino could hear Hosokawa Koharu's hesitation, and she deliberately turned a corner and didn't answer the date, just because she was worried that if Higashino couldn't produce an excellent work, the submitted things would be brushed down. It would be a shame for him. I can't hold on anymore.

"no problem."

"Really?" Higashino's determined tone reassured Hosokawa Koharu, but when he felt his stable mood, Hosokawa Koharu couldn't help coughing several times.

As an editor, I believe in Higashino Division too much, right?Blind faith is not a good thing
It's just that since Dong Yesi said that there is no problem, she didn't hesitate, and said the specific date: "Probably in a month, when the new music textbook will be finalized."

"One month later." Shan Shang Qianxia muttered and counted beside her.

The creation cycle of a good song usually starts in two or three months, and Hosokawa Koharu's time for Higashino is too tight.

And it's on par with Lemon or Nothing
Let's be honest, it's a bit overwhelming.

Hosokawa Koharu obviously understood this too, she sighed, and said helplessly: "The main reason is that your results in "Although there is nothing in our hands" and "Lemon" are too good, even a little bit better, Mr. Higashino. exaggerate."

These two songs basically lock the ranks of the hottest songs in Japan this year.

But it was also because the popularity was so high and so fast that the Ministry of Education's music textbook compilation department didn't react, and reluctantly came to the notice.

"It was a sudden notification. Otherwise, the songwriters and composers would have been told two or three months in advance to prepare in advance."

What she said made Higashinoji a little funny, but Higashinoji didn't care too much: "It won't take that long, editor Hosokawa can come over to pick up the song tomorrow. There is just one thing I want to ask for. This song I took out The copyright of the song and the right to perform it outside are in my hands, and no one is allowed to use this song for profit-making activities in any way."

As the saying goes, one learns one's wisdom. Higashinoji, who has been pitted by Oura Xingjiang once, is very cautious in this regard, and it is safer to explain some things clearly.

"That's for sure." Hosokawa Koharu nodded, but
She still couldn't help touching her ears, and asked in confusion and surprise: "Mr. Dongye, when did you come to pick up the song?"

Hosokawa Koharu wondered if his work pressure was too great, and he actually had auditory hallucinations. Did Higashino just say that he could come to pick up the song tomorrow?
"Tomorrow will be fine." Higashinosi said with a sideways glance at Hosokawa Koharu with some amusement.

Qianxia Yamagami, who was eavesdropping on the conversation between Hosokawa Koharu and Higashinoji, finally couldn't help sticking out her tongue, her face full of astonishment.

They gave me a month, and you asked them to come over to pick up the song tomorrow?

But okay
Qianxia Yamagami looked at Hosokawa Koharu's face as usual, and couldn't help admiring, she was indeed a professional editor of Urashima Publishing House, even in the face of such surprising things, she was still as calm as a mountain, and even showed her composure The smile, the psychological quality is really good.

Compared with the other party, I am still a little too tender.

She sighed like this, and looked at Hosokawa Koharu from time to time.

"Tomorrow...?" Koharu Hosokawa opened his mouth, then remained silent, and finally reminded in a low voice: "The quality should be comparable to "Lemon" and "Even though our hands are empty". "

"The quality alone should be comparable to them."

"Really?" Hosokawa Koharu didn't know what he was thinking, he covered his forehead with both hands, and let out a murmur.

On the other side, Qianxia Yamagami was a little curious about her actions, so she couldn't help asking, "What are you doing? Editor Hosokawa?"

"...I'm so shocked, I just want to be quiet now."

Hosokawa Koharu said in a very distraught manner.
