Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 368 Higashino Division Bows His Head and Thinks (8000 words)
The New Century Art Association experienced a desertion before.

The former vice president took half of the influential members to the Uesugi Art Association, leaving only some newcomers who had just joined the association and some key members of the New Century Association.

At that time, this incident was on the news, and Nakahiro Kijima was so angry that he was half dead, but there was nothing he could do about him.

After all, it is normal for members of art associations to log out and transfer to other art associations.

It's impossible for Nakahiro Kijima to take the other party to court because the other party canceled his membership, right?
This is clearly unrealistic.

And ever since he was stabbed by the vice-chairman he trusted before, he has been very cautious in selecting the next vice-chairman, for fear that he will be pulled from the bottom again.

The situation is similar this time.

And strictly speaking, it can be regarded as Yuanjialu Narrow.

Both Kijima Nakahiro and the president of the Uesugi Art Association wanted to beat each other to death.

That's why we have to choose some members who are genuinely red and will not cause any problems at first glance to help draw the paintings for this exhibition.

"So that's how it is." Dong Yesi took a sip of tea, showing a dazed expression.

No wonder he was the honorary vice president.

The main thing is that he has a clean foundation and some influence.

Thinking of this, Higashino couldn't help pondering, thought for a while, and nodded: "If I can help President Kijima, then I will try my best. After all, I am also a member of the New Century Art Association."

Higashinoji agreed very simply, and Kijima Nakahiro and Kageyama Fumta were very satisfied with the lack of sloppy style. They felt that they were not blind this time, and they were right.

Even Koharu Hosokawa, who was always worried about the collapse of the meeting, let out a small breath.

And just when Kijima and Kageyama wanted to say some words of encouragement and scenes, Higashinoji suddenly spoke again:

"Then it's time for us to talk about conditions, right? Chairman Kijima?"

"Talk about the conditions...?" Kageyama Bunta heard Higashinoji's words and couldn't help being dazed for a while.

Not
We are already family, right?

And didn't you just say that?I will try my best, because you are also a member of the New Century Art Association.

Why did his expression change just as soon as he turned around, and he wanted to negotiate terms?Your complexion must have changed too quickly, right?

The reversal was so quick that even Hosokawa Koharu couldn't help but glance at Higashinoji.

But then she didn't speak.

After all, she has always been Higashinoji's partner, and she will definitely respect Higashinoji's decision.

Higashinoji
He still had that happy look, showing no joy or anger.

Because Higashino Division is just discussing the matter now.

It's impossible for him to work for the New Century Art Association, right?

It takes at least ten days and half a month to finish an oil painting. He has to take care of the series of "Naoki Hansawa" and "The Lonely Gourmet" as well as work on the oil painting
He is not a god, and time cannot be squeezed out casually, so of course he has to bring something back.

Even when Bunta Kageyama invited him back then, he had stated in advance that he did not have to perform any obligations.

Higashino Division reluctantly joined.

As for giving Kijima Nakahiro and the others a personal favor, Higashino has also considered it.

But he quickly thought of another thing about Konoe Lianghua, so he wanted to ask.

Compared to Kageyama and Hosokawa who were a little stunned, the president, Nakahiro Kijima, reacted extremely quickly.

There was no displeasure on his face, instead he smiled and said, "If I can help Mr. Dongye, please explain it to Mr. Dongye."

Dong Yesi said in his heart that the old-fashioned style of this society is amazing.

However, he still maintained the most basic courtesy on the surface: "There is indeed one thing that I hope to accomplish with the power of Chairman Kijima."

Higashino Division simply said that Konoe Lianghua wanted to be admitted to Musashino Art University.

"That is to say, Higashino-sensei's girlfriend wants to study at Musashino Art University, but Higashino-sensei is worried that she is lacking in art grades, so she hopes to find me to clear up the relationship, right?"

"It's not necessarily true to say I'm worried. Her grades should be no problem in getting into Musashino Art University, but there will always be some accidents in the exam, so I want President Kijima to help."

Higashino replied with a smile.

Yes, that's what Higashinoji is for.

The faction of the New Century Art Association, such as Nakahiro Kijima, is one of the best in Tokyo.

For example, the first floor of Yamauchi is the professor of Musashino Art University.

Therefore, Higashino is almost certain that Nakahiro Kijima has the ability to manage the relationship between the five major art academies in Tokyo.

It shouldn't be difficult at all to send Konoe Lianghua directly in.

Of course, Higashinoji actually believed that Konoe Lianghua could be admitted to Musashino, but something unexpected happened.

What if she didn't pass the exam?
It would be embarrassing then.

For this reason, Dong Yesi naturally wanted to prepare a foolproof backup plan for her.

If Konoe Lianghua was admitted to Musashino University by relying on his own ability, then of course everyone will be happy, and Higashino Division will not care.

But if he didn't pass the exam, then Dong Yesi's backup would be useful.

"That's how it is. If you don't pass the exam, please help clear up the relationship. Okay, I understand."

Kijima Nakahiro readily agreed to Higashino Division's request.

In his opinion, this is actually just a small matter.

He knew a lot of people at Musashino Art University, at most, he just bought a meal or two and visited them.

As for Higashinoji's claim that his girlfriend could get into the exam with her own ability, he couldn't control that.

Anyway, just help.

The next thing is very simple.

Nakahiro Kijima finalized the process of the whole matter after three times, five times and two times, which seemed extremely neat and fully expressed his sincerity.

Since the other party is so straightforward.

Of course Higashino was not far behind.

He immediately stated that he would go back and study the painting theme of the New Century Art Association on "Four Seasons" this time, and try his best to show his works.

The two shook hands again, and after leaving each other's phone numbers, Higashino got up and said goodbye.

Watching the back of Higashino Tsukasa leaving, Kageyama Bunta was still a little taken aback.

"President Kijima, just now"

He didn't expect that Dong Yesi would suddenly negotiate terms with himself and others just now, and he was indeed caught off guard by Dong Yesi.

Seeing Dong Yesi leave now, of course he wanted to say something he had held back.

"It's just a trivial matter to me, but it may not be the case to Mr. Higashino."

Nakahiro Kijima waved his hand: "I actually sold him a favor this time. If there is another emergency like this next time, it will not be particularly difficult to ask Mr. Higashino."

"Please move him again. Chairman Kijima, this time we were just raided by the Uesugi Art Association."

Kageyama Bunta understands what Kijima Nakahiro means, but the meaning in his words is also very clear——Higanoji is a manga author.

Comic writers and professional painters cannot be compared at all.

When it comes to things like plot and character creation, professional painters may not be as good as comic authors.

But when it comes to pure artistry and painting skills, professional painters say they are a few blocks ahead of comic authors.

To put it bluntly, this time it was simply an emergency, and Dong Yesi was pulled to make up the number of people.

But why listen to what Kijima Nakahiro means, and invite Higashino Tsukasa to participate in the exhibition next time?
While Bunta Kageyama was thinking, Nakahiro Kijima on the other side suddenly said:

"Vice President Kageyama must not have paid much attention to the winner of the Tokyo Youth Award the year before last."

"Uh, isn't that an award mainly for amateurs and high school students who have not become professional painters?"

He joked a little funny: "Mr. Dongye is not only good at manga, he is also very good at oil painting, and the works he participated in two years ago, strictly speaking, have a professional level, even better than those in our New Century Association. Some of our membership levels are even higher.”

"And this thing?"

Kageyama Fumta was a little surprised.

He really didn't know much about Higashinoji, he only knew that the manga level of the other party was indeed very high.

Nakahiro Kijima next to him didn't say much, and he directly took out a book called "A Collection of Works of Tokyo Youth Painting Award in Past Dynasties" from the briefcase beside him.

It records the works of many past winners.

And Higashino Division's "Tokyo Sunset Impression" and "Tokyo" are on it, and they are also used as the cover.

This treatment is really good.

Kageyama Fumta couldn't help but look.

Whether it is "Tokyo Sunset·Impression" or "Tokyo", from his eyes, they are indeed at the level of professional painters.

And it still has a style of its own.

This surprised Kageyama Fumta a little.

Some geniuses do shine in high school—the art world has no shortage of 'child prodigies'.

But there are only a handful of people who have formed a strong personal style in high school.

Tonoji's painting two years ago. Strictly speaking, it should be a work drawn when he was just in high school
Thinking about it this way, Kageyama Bunta couldn't help coughing dryly twice, and praised: "It's really amazing."

He is not a person who is desperate for face, Dong Yesi is indeed worthy of this compliment.

Similarly, Kageyama Bunta also understood what Kijima Nakahiro meant.

The other party is actually an investment in the future.

You must know that Dong Yesi is only in the third year of high school now, and he hasn't even entered university yet.

Even if Nakahiro Kijima's investment failed, he just spent some effort, bought a few drinks, and ran a few times.

If the investment is successful, Higashinoji will have influence in both oil painting and comics in the future. Then he can be said to have made a lot of money.

Anyway, if you can make a steady profit without losing money, it is better to invest.

What a fine person!
While thinking, Bunta Kageyama glanced at Nakahiro Kijima, who was carrying the "Tokyo Youth Art Award Works Collection" in his arms.

While Kageyama Bunta and the others were discussing.

On the other side, Higashino Division also found out the details of Nakahiro Kijima from Koharu Hosokawa.

"Is Chairman Kijima related to the Ministry of Education?"

Although it has long been thought that Nakahiro Kijima may have a lot of connections as the president of the New Century Art Association, Higashinoji did not expect that the other party has connections in the Ministry of Education and can manage it.

You must know that the Ministry of Education and Culture is the center of Japanese education and culture.

Having a relationship there means that as long as Kijima Nakahiro is not going to die, he will never have any major problems with the New Century Association.

Even if there is a big problem, with the relationship between the Ministry of Education and Culture, the big problem can be turned into a small problem.

Hosokawa Koharu saw Higashino Division's surprised face, and also showed a somewhat unexpected look: "Don't you know, Mr. Higashino? When I heard that you were making connections with Musashino Art University for Lianghua, I thought you already knew What's wrong with him?"

"I just saw Professor Yamauchi from Musashino speak for Bunta Kageyama, so I feel that the New Century Association and Musashino Art University may have a close relationship."

Higashino explained something for Hosokawa Koharu, and then showed a look of surprise: "It seems that there will be a chance to cooperate with President Kijima again in the future."

There are a lot of people on his side who are graduating and going to college.

Chihaya Higashino, Aoi Fujiwara, Yumi Takahashi.
With Kijima Nakahiro's help
Maybe it doesn't have to be so hard?
Higashino couldn't help but nodded after thinking about it, and an idea was born to let a few girls graduate safely.

But before that, you have to show your worth first.

What Nakahiro Kijima valued was his ability as a painter, while what he valued was his relationship with the Ministry of Education.
If you want to use the other party to achieve your goals, you must let the other party see your value.

After all, the other party is neither a philanthropist nor a fool.

He really helped Higashinoji so much for free.

"Then we have to work hard on this oil painting."

While speaking, Higashino spread out the brochure produced by the New Century Art Association in his hand.

Here are some specific details about this planning exhibition, as well as some interpretations of the theme of this painting.

Spring, summer, autumn and winter, the solar terms of the four seasons
Higashino couldn't help but groan, lost in thought.

Should I follow the trend and follow others to paint seasonal scenery, or should I find another way and come up with an interesting idea?
To be honest, Higashino Division actually prefers the former.

Painting the scenery of spring, summer, autumn and winter is the basic skill of painting.

After all, generally speaking, the scenery is not difficult to paint, it just depends on your painting skills and painting skills.

In this regard, Higashino Division is very confident.

He felt that he could win the well-deserved first place in this exhibition simply by relying on his painting skills and painting skills.

You can say that Higashino is blindly confident.
But as a painter, I don't even have this confidence, so how can I catch up with others in painting skills and craftsman?

As a professional painter, you still need to have some vigor.

Even if it is not possible, it should be considered possible.

But if you just follow the script and follow the crowd to draw scenery.

Higashino Division felt that it did not fit his own style.

Although following the crowd will not make mistakes, but it is too oblivious to the crowd.

So what to do?

Higashino Division was clearly enthralled.

Hosokawa Koharu who was not far behind him was stunned.

Wait a minute.

Teacher Tono.

Don't you need me to take you home? !
Hello! ! !
