Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 351 Don’t Look at the Data (8100 words)
Higashino Division really didn't expect Yano Ryuichi to take the initiative to come and beg him to tilt resources to station p.

After all, before he had a look like 'Is this website really working? ''Isn't making this website a waste of money? ' expression.

Now that the opponent changed his face so quickly, Dong Yesi paused for a few seconds, a little speechless.

But Higashino Division thought about it again, and found that Yano Ryuichi's attitude was actually quite normal.

Because in a sense, the person who devoted the most effort to station p is not actually Higashinoji.

At most, he took out some of the designs of the previous P station in his mind, and handed them over to Ryuichi Yano.

Strictly speaking, Higashino Division didn't make too much effort at all.

On the contrary, Ryuichi Yano, from the website page design to the filter system of the p station, and the design of the language conversion system, can even be said to have been hand in hand to invite people to help with the production.

He is considered the biological father of this webpage. If possible, he certainly doesn't want to see the website he finally hired someone to create and just be abandoned.

And now seeing that station p has development potential, of course he turned around and asked Higashino Division for resources without hesitation, and wanted to make station p as a whole bigger and stronger.

only--

"Yano-san, please calm down a little bit." Seeing Yano Ryuichi's anxious expression, Higashino tried to comfort him, "Station P is just a trial operation right now, and the publicity will be discussed after the official launch of Station P."

And
Seeing that he was still a bit unwilling, Higashino couldn't help but tease: "Didn't Yano-san not have confidence in the p station before?"

"I" Yano Ryuu couldn't help but opened his mouth when he heard this, "That's what happened before. Now that we have the data as a base, the situation is definitely different."

He tried to argue with reason, but Dong Yesi couldn't help but smiled and waved his hands at the same time: "Don't worry, I think there will be a period of word-of-mouth explosion in the future. There will be 20 registered members in 1 days, absolutely no problem."

Listening to Higashinoji's "explosive word-of-mouth period", Yano Ryuichi couldn't help shaking his head.

This is more than 100 people a day, is it considered an outbreak period?How do you want to explode?

Regarding Yano Ryuichi's thoughts, Higashino Division certainly didn't say much.

We must know that in the past 20 days of trial operation, station p could reach 1 people, and the registration channel was only opened for domestic users in Japan.

In other words, in the initial trial operation stage, except for the Japanese who could use the p station, users from other countries basically did not know that there was such a website.

But Higashinoji is different this time.

He has not only opened a registration channel for users in Japan, but also for foreign users.

Chinese, English, and Japanese do not know how long it will take for foreign users to visit and register.

It has only been in trial operation for two days now. More than 300 people have become members of station p.

You must know that when the original World P station was just two days into trial operation, there were not two cats or cats on the entire website, and there were only twenty or thirty registered users. This gap is really too big.

Although the p station in this world has an announcement from Higashino Studio for publicity, but that only plays a small role. After all, Higashino Studio only made an animation of "The Winner Is Justice". She is a pink 'newcomer' with little reputation at all.

Therefore, there are now more than 300 people on station p, most of them should rely on the excellent quality of the website itself, and a small part of them came from reading the announcement.

After all, during the New Year's Day, when animation is off-season, who would come to the official website of the animation studio if they have nothing to do?

Higashino Division has already made up his mind, and Yano Ryuichi on the other side has no choice but to nod his head, expressing that he will wait and see the follow-up development.

However, he also requested that if the trial operation period is really popular, then station p must be officially put into operation and start investing resources.

This request is very reasonable, and Higashino Division certainly did not object.

The two of them continued to stare at the development of station p.

And at a place more than 60 kilometers away from Dongye Studio, a young man who doesn't look like a high school student is holding a drawing board and drawing stroke by stroke with some excitement.

His name is Mamoru Takashima, and he is a freshman in high school.

As a young man in his adolescence, of course he also has his own troubles.

He likes painting very much, but his family is opposed to his hobby.

Because the things he paints are not serious oil paintings or traditional Japanese paintings, but things like animation and illustrations.

This kind of hobby may be just a hobby in the eyes of Mamoru Takashima, but in the eyes of his family, it is a manifestation of "no prospect" and "cynicism".

Is it useful for you to draw these things?
Can you draw a national manga author like Higashinoji?

cannot?Just a hobby?
Then what else do you draw?You don't need this kind of hobbies in the exam.Letting outsiders see you makes you disgusting
These and other words, of course, made Takashima City Wei very uncomfortable.

But he also understands that, as his family said, he draws these animated characters and draws these illustrations is really just a hobby, and it can't be taken seriously.

What makes Takashima City Wei even more uncomfortable is that he also has no friends outside who can communicate and share.

This is the most uncomfortable.

There is a saying that goes well, 'the music is rare, but the bosom friend is hard to find', you can't even find a friend you can communicate with. How can this not make people feel uncomfortable?

Takashima City Guardian also wants to be recognized by others for these things - who wants to be called ugly or even disgusting by others?

But the reality is like this.

Takashima City Mamoru can only lock his works in the cabinet, and take them out to see if he has nothing to do
Until, when he was browsing the information of his favorite author Dong Yesi on the Internet two days ago, a small promotional announcement popped up suddenly.

'Higashino studio pixiv illustration exchange site trial operation started!Welcome all painting lovers to exchange ideas with Teacher Dongye! '

Attached below is a URL, as well as a very thoughtful demonstration of registration and submission methods.

Takashima City Wei saw this announcement and knew that it should be used by Higashino Studio for promotion.

As for whether Mr. Higashino might appear to communicate with people like them, Mamoru Takashima City just thought about it and found it unlikely.

but
The words "Illustration exchange website" seem to have just pierced Takashima City Mamoru's heart.

He hesitated for a while, and finally clicked on this illustration exchange website.

Anyway, it doesn't cost money to go in and have a look.
Pixiv's simple design LOGO appears, followed by the classification of published works.
Fortunately.

Mamoru Takashima breathed a sigh of relief.

There is no mandatory registration pop-up page, and there are no weird advertisements in other domestic forums. It is a very clean sky blue page, with illustrations and other categories below.

However, this website is obviously just starting to operate, and the works column is empty, only a few illustrations are very ordinary.

This made Takashima City Wei a little bit ready to move.

It's as if some painters always posted their works on Tieba, Zhihu, and Weibo in the previous life, and attached the sentence "Oh, my paintings are really rubbish".

He found that he also wanted to post his own paintings.

Recalling the registration and other details that he saw on the official website of Higashino Studio just now, Takashima City Mamoru completed the registration and got an account in a short time.

Then he entered the personal center page. There are various categories below.

Title, label, and description of the work.
He even saw the shadow of R18.

The degree of completeness of this function surprised Takashima City Wei. He thought for a while, and finally took out the sketchbook he put in the cabinet, and took a picture of an original manga that he drew very well with the digital camera next to him. Character - a girl with long black hair is holding an umbrella, wearing rain boots and stepping on the water beach, the water on the water beach is splashing and shining, and the girl's hair is raised high with the movement
Connect the computer with a USB cable, and put the picture data on the desktop.

Afterwards, he named this painting "Sunny and Rain", and after thinking about it, he wrote next to the introduction of the work: Recently, the hand feel is very bad, and the painting is not very good. Please give me more advice——

This sentence is of course a bit of a lie.

This is his best painting.

Takashima City Mamoru clicked on the word 'Completed' to upload it.

Seeing that his work has entered the review stage, Takashima City Mamoru couldn't help but whisper:
"It's not that I want to seek the praise of others, nor do I want to be recognized by others, but isn't this a painting exchange website?"

Since it is an illustration exchange website, it is natural to pass on the works.
I don't know how long this review will take
Mamoru Takashima touched his head, planning to temporarily close the webpage to watch other videos.

But before he could move his mouse away, a message popped up, reminding him that his work had passed the review.

This made Takashima City Mamoru really unexpected.

It took only 5 minutes for his "Sunny" to be uploaded, and the backstage passed directly?
Mamoru Takashima couldn't help but open the search bar of this pixiv, input the name of his work, and then searched——

"Really?"

Seeing that the paintings I drew are indeed displayed on the platform of p station, and then look at the words 'Artist Takashima' specially noted on the pixiv website below.

An inexplicable feeling emerged in Takashima City Wei's heart.

It's a feeling of being recognized.

My hobby of hiding and hiding can be recognized here
Not even just being recognized.

Takashima City Wei soon discovered that someone had already commented on his work.

'It's amazing. '

'So lovely. '

'Are you a professional painter? '

'When will I be able to draw so well? '

Although there were only scattered praises and comments, Takashima Ichie's vanity that had not been satisfied for a long time was completely satisfied at this moment.

What do painters need most?
The first must be to make money.

Then second, it must be the satisfaction of vanity.

This is normal.

Mamoru Takashima's hobbies are nothing in the eyes of the family's parents.

But here, there are people who have the same hobbies as him praise!

And sometimes, as long as someone recognizes it, it means unlimited motivation.

Mamoru Takashima felt extremely swollen.

He quickly posted all his works on the p station page, and also began to communicate with some of the comments and likes below.

'It's really nothing'

'I can't draw enough. '

"I've seen everyone's paintings, they are really prettier than mine."

Vanity is satisfied, and hobbies are also recognized.

Takashima City Wei stayed at this p station until midnight before going to sleep.

He was happy to feel as if he had found an organization he hadn't found in a long time.

There are actually many painting lovers like Takashima Ichie in Japan.

Especially Japan in 2005.

Japanese illustrators and original painters in this era are not everywhere as they are in later generations, and there are usually very few people who can reach the position of illustrators and original painters.

Most of the rest are just drawing when I have itchy hands when I am not studying or working.

Unlike later generations, they have live streaming platforms like YouTube and Twitch, but they don’t have any platform to show their hobbies.
At this time, the p station that popped up suddenly became the only place for them to vent their talents without a doubt.

Of course, it’s not just comics fans, Higashinoji’s p station does not stipulate that only some animation content can be published, and also allows uploading some landscape paintings, character sketches, architectural paintings, etc.
In this case, some painting lovers who have registered accounts on the p station publicize it to other people who also have painting hobbies, and some people directly post this matter to other forums for publicity
Having been satisfied with their vanity and gaining a sense of recognition, they are particularly concerned about recommending P stations.

And the effect of these tap water was soon reflected.

The fifth day of trial operation of station p.

On this day, as soon as Higashino Tsukasa and Yano Ryuichi entered Higashino's studio, they were stopped by the dumb-faced Yamagami Chinatsu.

Her face was full of astonishment, showing a completely unexpected expression: "Mr. Dongye, Supervisor Yano, look! There are discussions about station p on many forums. There is even a small newspaper reporting it."

Qianxia Yamagami pointed to some news she found after get off work, and said with a blank face.

It is really at a loss.

Because, as a member of Higashino Studio, she knew what kind of p-station illustration exchange website Higashino Division was working on.

But she has always felt that this website is useless, it is simply a useless website.

Who is willing to waste so much effort to upload their works to the website?

But what she didn't expect was that when she was scanning the major comic forums every day, she accidentally found a post about p station.

Start with a simple one or two posts.

She didn't pay much attention then.

But two days after tomorrow, the pixiv website is being discussed in a forum, which is a bit exaggerated.

She immediately searched for entries about p station.

Only then did I realize that Station P was published in a newspaper unknowingly.

Although it is the kind of entertainment tabloid, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat.

The fearful culture of typeface in Japan is deeply rooted, and newspapers are all credible.

So she glanced at the current number of works on station P with some curiosity, and the unexpected results made her even a little suspicious of life.

That's why she stayed here today and told Dong Yeji and Yano Ryuichi about the matter.

"On the newspaper? There is also a special template to discuss p-site?"

Higashinoji and Yano Ryuichi couldn't help but look at each other, and both of them had a twinkle in their eyes.

The word-of-mouth explosion period they were waiting for on station p
Is it finally here?
Why don't you quickly open the background to look at the data? !
