Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 264 Then Why Are You Confused (4000 words)
The atmosphere in the production team of "The Winner Is Justice" was a bit heavy, and many people were silent and did not speak.

This atmosphere can be said to be heavier than when Higashino Division played table tennis and pressed them on the ground to rub back and forth.

Qianxia Yamagami also felt the heaviness of the atmosphere, she was always cunning and didn't even dare to look up at Higashinoji's expression, for fear that she would find Higashinoji looking at her when she looked up.

The results of "Winner is Justice" are indeed quite ordinary, with 1.5 million sales on the first day, which is much lower than the previous expectations of Dongye Studio. If it is an ordinary animation, this result is not bad and acceptable. But "The Winner Is Justice" is different. This is Higashinoji's work, and each episode can be said to be a big production, with a production budget of more than 2000 million yen. The result is such an ordinary result.
Qianxia Yamagami also understood this.

Regardless of the fact that "Winner Is Justice" sold 1.5W discs on the first day, the data seems to be very good. But as mentioned earlier, the Blu-ray discs of Japanese animation are prepared for those senior core fans, and most of this audience will Get the Blu-ray disc of "Victor is Justice" at the first time, and as time goes by, the number of disc sales will only explode.
Especially in 2004, when newspapers and TV were still the mainstream media. Only getting this result can only be said to be so-so.

The employees of Dongye Studio are in a downturn, and everyone is more or less depressed.

Sitting at the main seat, Higashino Division quietly observed the sales comparison of "Victor Is Justice" and several other companies' Blu-ray discs.

MIC Animation Production Company, which took the lead in showing the sword, sold 1.3 million copies of "Takagi-kun next door" on the first day. This result is very good for them. After all, the competition is fierce in October, and they are not like Higashino Studio. Investment, so fully acceptable.

The performance of Sihanoukville Films, which is struggling with financial constraints, is mediocre, with sales of only 9000 copies on the first day. There are too many high-quality animations this October, and they were killed by mistake.

The veteran Kawaguchi studio showed the background of the veteran studio at this moment, and the sales on the first day rushed to 1.98W copies.

In addition, what Higashino did not expect was that Asuka Club, which he didn't care much about before, unexpectedly touched the threshold of 1.6K sales
I have to say that there are indeed many macho men in Japan, and there are actually many people who pay for Lily's animation.

Higashino Division compared several companies in the same period, raised his eyebrows, and probably had the answer in his heart.

He also spoke highly of "The Winner Is Justice" before, but he didn't consider that the current Higashino Studio is just a small animation production studio that has just started, and it is a workshop to put it bluntly.

Even with Higashinoji's name on it, the number of loyal fans is still lacking compared to these established animation production companies.

Even the manga fans like Higashinoji would be hesitant when faced with a Blu-ray disc that costs up to 5000 yen.

Tonoji can understand this.

He thought about it here, and it took a few minutes before he came back to his senses.

"Teacher Higashino, do you have anything to say?" Yano Ryuichi asked in a low voice beside him.

After hearing Yano Ryuichi's question, the others raised their heads before Higashinoji, and each of them looked at Higashinoji's face more or less.

Sensing their gazes, Higashino also raised his head, squinted his eyes and smiled comfortingly at them.

But this squinting and smiling made many people's hearts go cold.

Whether it was scolding the original artist for not being serious, or playing table tennis to crush and ravage others, Higashino always laughed like this. Now that he laughed again, did he want to kill someone?

"Please don't worry, everyone, this situation is actually within my expectations." Higashino Division said with a smile: "Our studio has just started, and it is very normal that there is a gap with other animation production companies. 1.5W pieces CD sales are already pretty good. Besides, this is just the beginning, and it doesn’t mean that our subsequent results will always be like this.”

Most of these words were words of consolation, including what Higashino said 'the situation is within my expectations', but he did not expect this situation at all.

But especially at this time, as the backbone of Dongye Studio, he was the one who absolutely took the lead, so naturally he couldn't shake the morale of the army.

Hearing his words, the atmosphere in Dongye's studio suddenly became much more relaxed, and many people breathed a sigh of relief quietly while waiting for him to continue speaking.

"It's already very good to achieve this result in the opening season, at least I think so. Similarly, I also have confidence in the future development and sales of "Winner Is Justice." Higashino continued: "Or Are you not confident in the finished film of "Victor Is Justice"?"

Everyone shook their heads when they heard this. "Victor Is Justice" is very well-made. Even "Guns and Fire" produced by Kawaguchi Studio, which sells the most discs now, cannot have the production quality of "Victor Is Justice". .

"Since this is the case, why not calm down and observe the next development carefully. There is no use in being depressed now." Dong Yesi knocked on the table and said with a smile.

This makes sense.

Things have already happened, and it is meaningless to be downcast and lost.

"It's okay that the situation is a little bit bad. When I first took over "Victor Is Justice", the situation was much worse than it is now. Most people think that we can't make "Victor Is Justice", but We have overcome all these hardships, so it is definitely not a problem to win the animation season championship."

Dong Yesi's voice is not loud, but people can't help but listen to it. Maybe this is someone who can sing, the voice is so nice and clear.

And if these few words are placed in other places, it may be just pure chicken soup for the soul, but it is completely different in Dongye Studio. Originally, Dongye Studio was formed by the original PW animation production company, and the employees here are indeed following Dong Yesi survived many difficulties.

These words really hit their hearts - let them give up now?It's just impossible to think about!

The staff below came to the spirit again.

As the pillar of Dongye's studio, Higashino's Dinghaishen needle didn't fluctuate at all, and the employees below naturally regained their emotions.

Yano Ryuichi next to him glanced at Higashino Division from time to time, thinking that this young man was really remarkable.

At least he is not as popular as Higashino Division in the studio today.

The sales analysis meeting is quickly over.

In fact, there is no analysis. After all, "Victor Is Justice" has been polished to perfection in all aspects, and the problem has already been picked at that time.

On the other side, Dong Yesi, who asked them to return to their posts, took a sip of water.

As he said, he is very confident in "The Winner Is Justice". After all, comparing horizontally, there is indeed no company whose production quality is higher than that of "The Winner Is Justice". That's why animation is so good. Unlike TV dramas, good and bad can be seen at a glance.

And Higashino Division also read some comments on the Internet.

Most of "Winner Is Justice" is positive, and there are few negative reviews. The quality of the series is absolutely fine, so the problem probably lies in the popularity of Dongye Studio.

After all, Higashino Studio doesn't even have a decent official website, so it looks shabby. The things produced by such an animation studio that few people know about are certainly not as good as other animation production companies.

Thinking about it this way, Higashino's brain became much more active, and he felt that it was not a big problem for him to predict that the sales of Blu-ray discs of "Victor is Justice" will start to gradually increase after two or three episodes are played.

At that time, it is estimated that it is the time to shine the sword.

As for the possibility that some people may say that Higashino is a little arrogant, and his current achievements are generally so blindly confident in the follow-up development. This Higashino thinks it’s nothing, he is a serious professional painter, and those who engage in art should have self-confidence. If you lose all confidence in your own works, what kind of art do you still do?
He's in a good state of mind, not like the employees in the studio, because of this, it looks like the end of the world.

But before he could catch his breath, Hosokawa Koharu called.

"Mr. Higashino, the sales of the first volume of "Victor is Justice" are mediocre. Is this true?"

Hosokawa Koharu on the phone had a concerned tone.

"It is indeed an average result." Higashino Division did not hold back, and directly presented the result to Hosokawa Koharu.

"Really?" Hosokawa Koharu on the other end of the phone had a hesitant expression.

In her memory, this is probably the first time Higashino has been deflated since his debut, right?I don't know what Tonoji's mentality is like now.
In short, it is always right to comfort first.

Hosokawa Koharu groaned, and was about to speak to comfort him, but was interrupted directly by Higashinoji.

Dong Yesi on the phone actually took the initiative to comfort her:

"Sorry, editor Hosokawa, you helped me a lot this time in "The Winner Is Justice". Not only did you hire an original artist but also a supervisor. It can be said that this time "The Winner Is Justice" was successfully produced thanks to Hosokawa It’s a credit to the editor, the first day of sales was not very good, you must be a little disappointed, right? But it’s okay.”

"Eh?" Hearing Higashinoji's words, Hosokawa Koharu opened his mouth on his own initiative.

No, I'm here to comfort you?Why do you want to comfort me in turn?
"No. Teacher Dongye, I have great confidence in you, Teacher Dongye."

"I know what you want to say, Editor Hosokawa, but I hope you have some confidence in me. The final score of "The Winner Is Justice" will definitely not disappoint you."

"No. I know, I'm not disappointed."

Hosokawa Koharu was dumbfounded, what she wanted to say was said by Higashinoji directly, and she who came to comfort Higashinoji was actually comforted by Higashinoji in turn.

What is this ghost?

She hurriedly adjusted her pace, ready to say that she would always support Higashinoji.
"Don't worry, editor Hosokawa has supported me, I can see it, and I will counterattack next."

Uh cough cough.
Higashino-sensei, your mentality is really good.
Hearing Higashino's incomparably confident voice, Hosokawa Koharu's words of consolation vanished into thin air - Higashino is so confident, if she said something else, wouldn't she have no confidence in Higashino?
So Hosokawa Koharu nodded, dumbfounded. She came to comfort Higashino, but was held down by Higashino and poured a wave of chicken soup for the soul: "Then I will wait for the good news from you, Teacher Higashino."

The two chatted for a while, and then Hosokawa Koharu hung up the phone on his own initiative.

It's just that Hosokawa Koharu on this side just hung up the phone, and Hasegawa Riko on the other side also took the initiative to call.

This made Higashino Division truly dumbfounded.

Why are you calling yourself at this time?Are you such a fragile person?

He was a little funny, but considering that Riko Hasegawa also came to care about him, he took the initiative to answer the phone.

But while answering the phone, he also said without hesitation: "Miss Hasegawa, I'm in a pretty good state of mind now, and I don't have the heart to seek death and life. "The Winner Is Justice" is in good condition, and it's not as good as it said outside." It's like the sky is falling."

Higashino paused, and then continued: "Similarly, you don't have to worry about the sales of "Victor Is Justice", your dubbing is already perfect. Well, I'm done talking, may I ask Miss Hasegawa what's the matter?" ?”

"Huh? Oh, it seems to be gone." Riko Hasegawa was dizzy from Higashinoji's combination of punches, and when she heard the other party's question, she subconsciously responded.

As Higashinoji said, she did come to comfort Higashinoji, and she was also a little worried about whether there was a problem with her dubbing, which caused the current situation of "The Winner Is Justice" is not good
Unexpectedly, before she could speak, Higashino had already blocked everything she wanted to say and even comforted her in turn.

Riko Hasegawa scratched her head, and Koko Mizuguchi next to her turned her face sideways, and asked curiously, "How is it? What did Teacher Higashino say?"

Mizuguchi Xiangzi felt that there was no need to call Higashinoji. After all, she felt that there was nothing wrong with her dubbing, and the option of apologizing basically did not exist.

But she couldn't persuade Hasegawa Lizi, a stubborn ass, who insisted on calling Higashino Division to apologize.

And judging from the results, it seems that Riko Hasegawa is still deflated?
This made Shuikouxiangzi a little incomprehensible.

Could it be that Higashino Division showed his face to Riko Hasegawa because of the poor grades in "The Winner Is Justice"?

Wouldn't it be like this?
Shuikou Xiangzi couldn't bear it anymore, Hasegawa Lizi was one of the few friends she could talk to, since Lizi was wronged, she couldn't just sit idly by.

So she couldn't help asking: "Is it because Mr. Dongye has a bad attitude?"

".No. She has a good attitude." Riko Hasegawa had hung up the phone at this time, and when she heard Koko Mizuguchi's question, she replied foolishly.

Um?Good attitude?

"Did Mr. Dongye make things difficult for you? Did he blame you for the poor sales?"

"No. Teacher Dongye is not that kind of person."

Riko Hasegawa shook her head again, and then said in a low voice: "It feels like he is such a nice person."

what?
Shuikou Xiangzi was puzzled.

He is too nice?
Then why are you still looking dumbfounded?
