Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 308 Let me tell you my opinion (8000 words)
The reason why Hosokawa Koharu said that "Hansawa Naoki" deserves this evaluation.

It's not just about the plot.

It also refers to Higashino Division's painting skills and the grasp of the storyboard.

For example, the final plot of this draft storyboard.

Hansawa Naoki confronted Asano branch manager.

The lens is divided into two sides.

Naoki Hansawa is on the right, and Branch Manager Asano is on the left.

The head of the Asano branch is in high spirits, standing under the street lights at night, looking extremely glamorous.

As his subordinate, Hansawa Naoki could only be reflected by the light to the side of his face, as if he was about to be pulled into the abyss.

A [-] million yen mistake!
This is definitely a big black pot!

The credit for the subordinates goes to the boss, and the subordinates resist the mistakes of the boss.

This is a very famous saying in banking.

And Naoki Hansawa was selected by the branch manager Asano as the scapegoat.

Hanzawa Naoki's expression is solemn, his eyebrows are slightly furrowed - this is a very 'forced' expression.

Hosokawa Koharu who noticed this at the time was taken aback.

You know it's just a cartoon.

How on earth did Higashino draw such a flat, manga simplified human face with the feeling of "strength"?

This painting skill is really amazing.

It really brought a plane image to life.

On the other side, the branch manager Asano was chatting and laughing happily, with a calm face, as if he didn't care about the life and death of Naoki Hansawa at all.

The lights of the street lamps flickered on and off, signaling a break between the two sides.

The huge loan scam that makes you breathless, the tense atmosphere, the lines on the bottom line, and the depressing lines and shadows!
Is this the modern workplace?

It was clearly just a draft storyboard, but Higashino Division insisted on relying on too scary basic skills to draw the feeling of a manga manuscript.

Therefore, the reason why Hosokawa Koharu thinks "Naoki Hansawa" is wonderful.

Half of it is due to the wonderful plot itself.

As for the other half, Higashino Division's painters definitely contributed a lot.

Hosokawa Koharu could even say a word of impoliteness.

Just talk about painters.

Any manga author from any publishing house is definitely no match for Higashinoji!
She spoke so highly of "Hansawa Naoki", which made Higashino feel a little uncomfortable.

After all, according to the previous routine, Hosokawa Koharu will more or less express some concerns about Higashinoji's theme and plot.

And this time his preparation time was indeed very short, and he produced "Naoki Hansawa" within a week.

Doesn't Hosokawa Koharu want to express some worries?

But this time, Hosokawa Koharu skipped all these conventions and started to flatter directly.

This is obviously not in line with common sense.

As if seeing what Higashino was thinking, Hosokawa Koharu asked with a smile, "What's the matter? Higashino-sensei, don't you think "Hansawa Naoki" deserves this evaluation?"

She originally thought that Higashino Division would be a little more modest.

But what she didn't expect was that Higashinoji just nodded and continued confidently: "I think "Naoki Hansawa" fully deserves this evaluation."

This caused Hosokawa Koharu to cough twice, and then continued: "As expected of Mr. Higashino, he is so confident in his works no matter what time he is."

To Hosokawa Koharu's words, Higashinoji just smiled and nodded.

joke.

This was a phenomenal Japanese drama back then.

The plot is top notch.

It is not like ordinary Japanese dramas, each episode has only one climax point.

"Hansawa Naoki" has two or three climax points in each episode, and various flips and slaps in the face.

Although manga can't get excellent actors like Masato Sakai like Japanese TV dramas.

But relying on Higashino Division's painting skills can completely make up for this.

If he is still not confident, Dong Yesi really thinks that he should find a trash can by himself and throw himself into it.

"Then I will temporarily accept this draft storyboard of "Hansawa Naoki", Mr. Higashino."

As Hosokawa Koharu spoke, he stuffed the draft storyboard into his briefcase.

As mentioned earlier, this draft storyboard has to be brought back for discussion.

After all, this is Tonoji's work.

As for things like serial meetings
Generally speaking, the works of each comic author can only be serialized in weekly or monthly magazines only through the serialization meeting, that is, the majority of editorial team leaders vote in favor.

But Higashino's works can completely ignore this rule, and the serialization can start after going through a process.

Some people may say that this is unfair to other works.

But the publishing house is such a place.

As long as Higashinoji's work is published, there will be no objection from the editorial team leader.

After accepting the draft storyboard, Hosokawa Koharu introduced Chihaya Higashino again.

"Editor from Urashima Publishing House?" Higashino Chihaya coughed dryly, and then bowed deeply embarrassingly: "I'm really sorry."

It is estimated that there is a shadow of Higashino Chihaya from the past, so she still thought that Hosokawa Koharu and Higashino Tsukasa might be having some kind of office romance just now.

But now seeing Hosokawa Koharu's expression of neither dodging nor dodging, and not guilty at all, she felt that she might be a little bit biased.

"It's nothing, Chihaya." Hosokawa Koharu smiled generously, shook hands, then exchanged greetings with Chihaya Higashino, and briefly introduced his previous relationship with her.

In the past, Chihaya Higashino and Koharu Hosokawa could be regarded as the relationship between friends.

Although starting from scratch now.

But Higashino Chihaya always felt that they were very familiar with each other, and they could understand each other with just a few exchanges.

It is estimated that there is also the shadow of the exchange between Higashino Chihaya and Hosokawa Koharu before.

Watching Hosokawa Koharu turn and leave, Higashino Chihaya also heaved a sigh of relief, and then came to his brother's side and began to question him directly.

"A Si, do you have any feelings for Miss Xiaochun?"

"Ah?" Dongyesi gave her an inexplicable look.

Didn't Koharu Hosokawa introduce you just now?It's just that the two of them are just friends.

Why did Chihaya Higashino come to him to ask a question or two?

Higashino Division did not understand what Higashino Chihaya meant.

But soon I heard her explain:

"It's also possible that Sister Xiaochun is shy and unwilling to tell me the truth. But Sister Xiaochun is a bit old. After you go to college, Si, Miss Xiaochun will be 26 or [-] years old, right? This is a problem."

What he said was justified and well-founded, making Higashino Division dumbfounded.

"It's not what you think, Xiaochun and I are just friends."

Although Higashino Division usually called the other editor Hosokawa at work, it was completely fine to call him Hosokawa Koharu in private.

"Really? I'm just a little worried about this. Compared to Miss Xiaochun, Lianghua is still a bit young. After all, she's only a high school student. Don't you boys like older ones?"

"Then you are insulting our boys too much. What do you mean by liking older ones?"

"Really?" Higashino Chihaya squinted at Higashino Si: "Then Asi, what type do you boys like?"

Dong Yesi took a sip of tea with a smile and explained.

"We boys like good-looking ones."

man.

In the final analysis, it is not just that you like good-looking and good-looking people, this is human nature.

As for the others.
Higashino guessed that the boy really didn't think much about it.

"Hey?"

Higashino Chihaya's words made Higashino Chihaya stunned.

Then count according to this standard. Isn't she also in this range?
Higashino Chihaya was stunned, as if she wanted to say something more, but before she could speak, Higashino Si, who seemed to see through her thoughts, flicked her smooth forehead vigorously.

This action seemed to be teaching a child, so Higashino Chihaya couldn't help but give him a slight glare.

This is her trump card against Higashino Division.

As for other ways.?

She can't fight, or scold Dong Yesi, can she?

My younger brother can be regarded as a well-known author who has been pulled out.

As a sister, she naturally wanted to save face for the other party.

With all kinds of helplessness, she could only stare at Dong Yesi slightly, hoping to regain a little bit of her sister's dignity through this.

But if you look at it from Dong Yesi's perspective.

Her actions actually gave the feeling of a child being angry and acting like a spoiled child.
"Complete workplace comics?"

When he learned about Higashinoji's new manga, the editor-in-chief Urashima raised his head with a surprised expression.

Somewhat surprised indeed.

He has always known Dongyesi's Lu Ziye, after all, Dongyesi is a manga author who became a monk.

But Rao, the editor-in-chief of Urashima, didn't expect his way to be so wild.

The semi-forensic and semi-detective theme of "Unnatural Death" last time was enough to take the edge of the sword.

I didn't expect Dong Yesi to come to a more biased position this time.

Speaking of the workplace.

Most people probably find it boring and boring.

Because they usually experience too much unfair and unequal treatment in the workplace.

And Higashino Division actually chose this kind of subject matter.

And the most important thing is that Higashino has no working experience in the workplace.

At most, I followed the "Midnight Ring" animation film production team to make "Midnight Ring" before.

workplace comics
In the view of editor-in-chief Urashima, this must be a challenge for Higashino Division.

but--

"Since it's Higashino-sensei, the things he brought out must never disappoint me, right? Editor Hosokawa."

Editor-in-Chief Urashima smiled, feeling full of expectations for Higashino Division.

"This work by Higashino-sensei is really amazing." Hosokawa Koharu replied with a smile: "It will definitely exceed the imagination of editor-in-chief Urashima."

"Beyond imagination? Editor Hosokawa's words are too much."

Editor-in-chief Urashima cheerfully took over "Hansawa Naoki" by Higashino Tsukasa.

At the same time, he did not forget to add: "My evaluation of Mr. Higashino's comics has always been a perfect score of [-], which is already the highest evaluation."

Yes.

He has already filled up his sense of expectation and evaluation. If Dongyesi can still surprise him, how far will the other party get?
but
"Editor Hosokawa, you should print out this draft storyboard for other editors, right?"

"I did ask the people from the administration department to help print it."

Hosokawa Koharu nodded.

"Oh?" Editor-in-Chief Urashima became interested: "Since this is the case, then the two of us should stop discussing in hiding. Brainstorming is the best choice."

"It's not very good, editor-in-chief Urashima." Hosokawa Koharu looked embarrassed: "Although Mr. Higashino's work is very exciting, in the end it's just a draft of the storyboard, not the original manuscript of the manga. Just call it directly Edit Discussion All"

Editor-in-chief Urashima convenes all editors to discuss and Hosokawa Koharu distributes the draft of the storyboard. The meaning of asking all editors to read is completely different.

The former is imperative in nature.

The latter is of the nature of a request for inquiry.

The most important thing is that Higashino Tsukasa is just a draft of the storyboard, and the orderly behavior of editor-in-chief Urashima is obviously biased in the eyes of others.

Favors her and Higashino Division.

This is actually not a good thing for her, a junior editorial leader.

Regarding Hosokawa Koharu's concerns, the editor-in-chief Urashima cheerfully didn't care.

"Even if it's just a draft of the storyboard, I believe Mr. Higashino's work is worth doing."

"As for the partiality issue. If the authors under their hands can also produce the results of Mr. Higashino, I will also choose to favoritism."

Yes, no grades, nothing to say.

Editor-in-chief Urashima simply stood up, walked out the door holding the draft storyboard, and at the same time summoned the editors of the editorial department.

"Everyone, take a look at the work that Editor Hosokawa has just printed. This is the storyboard draft of the work that the leading author of this publishing house, Higashino Tsukasa, has just completed. The work is called "Naoki Hansawa"."

As he said that, the editor-in-chief Urashima also showed a little draft of the storyboard in his hand.

Some senior editors below naturally feel that the editor-in-chief Urashima has made a big deal out of a molehill.

They can understand Higashino Division as a pillar, and the editor-in-chief cares about his works.

But
This isn't even a manga manuscript, it's just a sketch
Because the manga author can change it at will, even doodling is fine.

But since the editor-in-chief Urashima had spoken, they had no choice but to take out the draft storyboard of "Naoki Hansawa" from the desktop on one side, and began to review and review page by page.

Seeing the editor below reviewing the manuscript in a proper manner, the editor-in-chief Urashima here did not hesitate, holding a corner of the manuscript and turning it over, reading page by page.

For a moment, the entire Urashima Publishing House was filled with the sound of quietly turning pages.

Hosokawa Koharu couldn't help but look up and observe the expressions of the editors, wondering what kind of quality Mr. Higashino's draft storyboard was in their eyes.

But when she looked at it, she realized that something was wrong.

Because this has been turned over for four or five minutes. The editor below has not yet let go of the idea.

You must know that the editors of Urashima Publishing House are very rich in experience. They only need to read the first half of the manuscript to understand the specific quality of this comic.

But this time they didn't just finish the first half.

He even kept looking at the second half word by word.

That is to say.
Teacher Higashino's "Hansawa Naoki" is also a rare masterpiece in their eyes?

Hosokawa Koharu held his breath slightly.

If she thinks it looks good alone, then the opinion can only be said to be single.

But if the whole editorial department thinks it looks good.
Then this "Hansawa Naoki" is really a bit incredible.

But Hosokawa Koharu didn't believe that such a large group of top editors in the industry couldn't find any problems, so they just said, "It looks good, I want to read the next chapter".

In her thoughts, the editor-in-chief Urashima who was the first to finish watching "Hansawa Naoki" raised his head and exhaled slightly.

Then, he turned his head and looked at Hosokawa Koharu.

"Let me say my opinion first."

"Looking good, I want to see the next chapter."
