Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 3 Inkjet Drawing with a Mop—

After the meal, Higashino took the initiative to stand up to clean up the dishes, but was stopped by Higashino Chihaya.

"Asi is a boy who wants to do big things! Let my sister do this kind of thing!" Higashino Chihaya patted his chest: "Asi should go to rest."

She is just mentally handicapped and doesn't have a clear understanding of herself. She can still do some housework, so she doesn't want Dong Yesi to do many things, and she does everything by herself.

This is equivalent to the emperor's treatment.

But Higashinoji naturally didn't want to be served by a girl with a mental disorder.

After all, he was neither injured nor sick, nor was he disabled.

"It's okay, anyway, I have nothing to do when I'm idle." Higashino Si smiled, and took the dishes from Higashino Chihaya's hands naturally.

After comforting Chihaya Higashino, Tsukasa Higashino entered the room.

Looking at the empty room, he squeezed his chin and still sighed.

"A little short of money."

Yes.

Lack of money is the biggest problem facing the Higashino family.

Chihaya Higashino needs medical expenses.

Food, housing and transportation at home also need money.

Everything is inseparable from the word 'money'.

There was such a saying in the previous heavenly dynasty.

'I'd rather cry in a BMW than laugh behind a bicycle'.

From here, we can also see how important money is.

Higashino Division is a person who does not have high material needs, nor does he have much desire for money.

But in the case of the death of his parents at home, how to get enough living expenses is what he needs to consider.

Can't let Higashino Chihaya think about how to make money?

He walked to the desk and pulled out a pale yellow envelope from the drawer.

Higashino opened the envelope.

What caught my eye was a printout of comics that had already drawn the characters and even laid out the background.

Yes, draw comics.

This is the way he thought of.

In fact, Higashino Division has already started preparing his first manga.

Because he also knows that if he continues to sit on the mountain to eat, he and Higashino Chihaya will starve to death, but they will certainly not live very comfortably.

Don't think he can earn [-] yen for painting at Shibuya Station, but that's actually taking advantage of the legal loophole.

Street painters are indeed allowed to paint in Tokyo, but they are limited to painting, and fees are not allowed.

If you really want to sell paintings at a street stall for a fee, you have to go to a special street with street stalls in Tokyo or a special festival held locally.

It was also Dong Yesi who was already an old fritter. With his excellent painting skills and the good skin of the original owner, he made a lot of money in takeaway jokes.

But this is also a precarious job, so Higashinoji thought of drawing manga.

As for why Dong Yesi didn't follow the traditional painter's route that he had gone through in his previous life?

Don't talk about it.

Higashino Division is sure to be famous.

After all, he had experience as a painter in his previous life, and he also brought a system with him. He was born to take a big step ahead of others, and he couldn't starve to death no matter what.

But—traditional painters are too slow to become famous, it takes too much time!

This thing needs time to slowly settle.

Although it is not very good for the former painter Higashinoji to say this, but most of the low-level and middle-level professional painters rely on fame.

Otherwise, how could there be so many 'masters' who 'shoot ink', 'inkjet' or even draw with 'mops' in China?

That's not called painting, that's called tricks.

But laymen like to play tricks, what can be done?

How good are you at drawing things?So what?If you are not famous, then there is no commercial value, and this painting is just a piece of waste paper!

What's more, Japan is more excessive than China, and it is a capitalist society with clear hierarchy.

This is even more dependent on academic qualifications and qualifications.

I am only a high school student at the moment, so why should I fight someone else who graduated from the five major art academies in Tokyo?

Get a head shot?

It is okay to engage in creation, but the premise of doing creation is to have a full stomach first.Let Higashino start from traditional painters?

Then it would be safer to let Higashinoji jump down from the top floor with his eyes closed, and try to see if he can cross again.

Going out to do small jobs is more reliable than this!

In addition, Higashino Chihaya didn't have so much time to wait, so Higashino Si thought about it and there was only one way to develop his painting skills.

comics!

This is not a random conclusion.

Higashino Division has done a detailed investigation.

First of all, the threshold for comics is actually very low.

As long as you are an individual, you can draw with your own hands, and you can directly submit a manuscript after you have drawn it. After submitting the manuscript, you can directly get money from the publishing house.

Secondly, the cost of drawing comics is not high.

To start with traditional painters, all kinds of professional painting tools alone can make Dong Yesi poor-painting has always been a noble profession.

In addition, 2003 was in the throes of the Japanese manga industry, and the manga industry was in an overall sluggish state due to the lack of excellent original works and scripts.

This is a great opportunity for Higashino Division.

As mentioned earlier, Higashinoji is a time traveler, and it took him a month to adapt to the Japanese society in 2003.

After being dazed and surprised on the first day, Higashino Division quickly came out and began to investigate the current situation in Japan.

Japan is of course still the same Japan, and overall it hasn't changed much.But it may be because of God's will in the dark, Japan in this world lacks a lot of excellent works from previous lives.

Not just comics.

Starting from literature, paintings, TV dramas, and movies, many familiar names of Higashino have been lost in all walks of life.

Without Natsume Soseki's literary confession that the moonlight is so beautiful, without Kawabata Yasunari's Izu dancers and Snow Country, there are also no excellent Japanese horror movies such as "Midnight Ring" and "The Grudge".

But unfortunately-

Tonoji was a little helpless.

In his previous life, as a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts, he was exposed to famous paintings from various countries. As for literature and popular comics?

To be honest, Higashino Division is really not very clear.

Some well-known Japanese comics, such as One Piece and Conan, have heard of these settings, and I have a little impression of them personally. It is no problem to draw one or two episodes, but it is impossible to serialize them.

So Higashino Division is really envious of the protagonists of Qidian’s online articles.

They can 'print' the comics, novels and other things they want from their minds and sell them for money.

If I have the ability of this humanoid printer, I still have to worry about food?

Fortunately, Higashino Tsukasa was a well-known painter in his last life. Although he didn't read many manga, he did a lot of Japanese dramas and movies.

I draw in the studio, and watch with my phone when I'm bored.

I remember the plots of "Midnight Ring", "The Grudge", "Unnatural Death", "The White Tower", "The Lonely Gourmet" and so on, and there are few things that I can't recall.

But Dong Yesi is not a major in film and television. The system bonus is in the aspect of painting. He can't let him trade off his strengths and choose his weaknesses to make a TV script and go to the TV station to try his luck, right?

Interlaced like a mountain!

Do you really want to let Higashinoji write something to try his luck?That must be forcing Zhang Fei to write a book on war—it doesn't make sense.

He didn't have to trade off the strong and the short.

Moreover, Higashino Division himself is not bad at drawing, and has system bonuses, plus the general impression of the wonderful scripts of famous movies and TV dramas that were popular in Japan and many regions in his previous life in his mind.

Adapting them into manga will surely bring in a huge sum of money from the now depressed Japanese manga industry

People can't be killed by money.

All kinds of study, memory, and scrutiny.

It took two or three weeks, and the manga titled "Midnight Bell" was rushed, and it was finally born under the hands of Higashino.

　The new book has just written the first three chapters and has been updated twice a day——
