Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 389 This is Good News (4000 words)
Although it is very murderous, but when it happened, it happened.

Qianxia Yamagami had no choice but to patiently teach Nakano Yusaki how to use manga drawing tools, and picked up a collection of paintings drawn by Higashino Tsukasa in his spare time, and asked her to refer to it and follow along.

"Is it just a picture book?"

Arisaki Nakano roughly flipped through this collection of paintings by Higashino Tsukasa once or twice, and looked at Chinatsu Yamagami with some incomprehension.

I really don't understand.

When she used to study from her brother's "Basic Hand-painting Method", there were many annotations on it.

And Qianxia Yamagami just took out a collection of Higashinoji's paintings, which didn't have any notes on it - how do I learn this?
Arisaki Nakano didn't quite understand, and Qianxia Yamagami took the initiative to explain to her: "Actually, I want you to learn from Mr. Higashino's painting collection. The main reason is to let you familiarize yourself with the drawing tools used in manga."

But besides explaining, Shan Shang Qianxia also secretly slandered in her heart. Isn't this just a noob?

Why does Mr. Dongye have to take care of Xiaobai by himself?

But "teacher's life is hard to break", Yamagami Qianxia continued to explain: "The painting tools used for manga are somewhat different from the ones you usually use."

"Is that so?" Nakano Yusaki rubbed his head, not quite understanding what it meant.

"Well, let me demonstrate it to you."

Qianxia Yamagami sighed in her heart, feeling that taking care of the newcomer was troublesome, but because of Higashinosi's instructions, she patiently demonstrated how to use the G-pen to the other party.

Soak the ink, the ink should not be too much or too little, it should be moderate, after drawing two strokes, wipe the tip of the pen with toilet paper and then soak the ink, and then continue to draw
She drew a girl with a single ponytail just like Arisaki Nakano, and then she started teaching her how to paste dotted paper
After demonstrating the use of all comic tools.

Qianxia Yamagami let out a small breath and looked at Nakano Yusaki: "It's probably like this."

But who knows, Nakano Yusaki suddenly reached out and grabbed the palm of Qianxia Yamagami at this time, her big eyes were shining with admiration:
"Senior on the mountain, you know a lot! It's amazing!"

"Huh? Hmm... so-so."

Shan Shang Qianxia, ​​who was suddenly grabbed by the palm, coughed twice.

She was a little embarrassed, after all, in this Dongye studio, she always felt that she was the one with the lowest status.

This is the first time someone looked at him with such admiration.
Although it is a bit troublesome to teach newcomers. But the feeling of being admired is quite good.

"Senior on the Mountain." That's a pretty good title!

This voice from the senior on the mountain was called to the heart of Qianxia on the mountain, which made her feel very happy.

"Okay! I'll try copying Mr. Higashino's paintings too!"

Nakano Yusaki didn't hold Yamagami Qianxia's hand for too long, she took the G-pen, casually flipped through a few pages of the art book, found a character in the art book, and started to draw.

It wasn't until then that Qianxia on the mountain came back to her senses.

See Nakano Yusaki started working on the art book.

Qianxia Yamagami couldn't help reminding: "Wait, Nakano-san, you just started using Higashino-sensei's painting collection, it's best to draw the ordinary protagonists like Mikoto Misumi and Naoki Hansawa first. As for the later "Midnight" Sadako Yamamura from "The Ring", wait until you are mentally prepared before copying."

Yes.

This collection of paintings by Higashino Division can be regarded as the precious property of Higashino Studio.

Because this is not a printed version, but Higashinoji's handwritten version, and there are still traces on it.

Pencil marks and ink marks are basically all left on it.

In addition, Higashinoji's drawing skills are already very good, and the characters of Mikoto Misumi and Naoki Hansawa in the front are not bad.
But when it came to some characters in "Midnight Ring"-it really shocked many people in Dongye Studio.

Don't talk about others, just talk about Qianxia on the mountain.

She is very timid. She used to watch Higashino draw "Midnight Ring" Sadako Yamamura.
The lifelike appearance really shocked her.

It made her dare not go to the bathroom alone for a few nights. When she was sleeping, she always felt that when she opened her eyes, all the ghosts and ghosts were staring at her.

For this reason, this handwritten painting collection by Higashino Division has also been ridiculed by many painters in Higashino Studio as an "artist's upgrade manual".

At the beginning, it was a hero and heroine of the type of 'Mikoto Sansumi' and 'Naoki Hansawa'.

A little exaggeration in the back, it is the handsome male protagonist of Gu Meimen Kensuke in "The Winner Is Justice".

In the end, there is the protagonist of "Midnight Ring" Yamamura Sadako-the kind that can really scare people to the point of paralysis.

There are very few painters who can practice the protagonist of Yamamura Sadako type. The entire Higashino Studio.

After all, just looking at the Sadako drawn by Higashinoji himself is enough to make people's backs shudder, let alone copying it.

As Nakano Yusaki's senior, Yamagami Chinatsu must remind the other party not to challenge the 'Sadako-class' strong for the time being, but to practice the 'Sansumi-class' and 'Hansawa-class' well first.

But before she finished reminding her, Nakano Yusaki swallowed her saliva after staring at the art book, and felt like she couldn't hold the G-pen in her hand.

Chika Yamagami felt something was wrong in her heart, so she glanced at Arisaki Nakano's opened art book.
Alright
Sure enough, I turned to the page of "Midnight Ring".

The hideous death appearances of various characters, various forms of Sadako.

Just looking at the image of the characters above, Nakano Yusaki felt inexplicably panicked
At the same time, she couldn't figure it out—how did Teacher Dongye draw this?

Obviously it's just a character in a comic, but can you still draw it so realistically?
She looked at it for a while, only to feel that the level between herself and Higashino Division was indeed very different. The gap was simply visible to the naked eye.

She couldn't help but said: "Senior on the mountain. I found out that the gap between me and Mr. Dongye is really big. Mr. Dongye's paintings are too good."

"Forehead"

Are you talking nonsense?
Shan Shang Qianxia thought to herself.

In fact, Dongye Studio does not lack the kind of painters with high eyesight and low abilities.

They felt that they painted very well. Even Dong Yesi, who had been praised by the outside world, had to lag behind a little bit if he wanted to compare his painting skills with them.

This is a standard newcomer's disease.

It's like writing a novel, even if you don't say anything, there will still be some people who feel that they can write works like "Lord of the Mysteries" and "Fights Break Sphere" casually.

And at this time, Yano Ryuichi and the others would take out this book that Higashino drew for practice when he was bored, and show them a few times.

This method is very useful, and it can make these newcomers clearly understand their status in an instant.

Qianxia Yamagami guessed that Arisaki Nakano felt a sense of disparity and frustration when she saw the things drawn by Higashinoji.

Arisaki Nakano couldn't accept it.

But what Qianxia Yamagami did not expect was that Nakano Yusaki actually showed an even more admiring expression: "Senior Yamagami, Mr. Higashino is really amazing! Only by studying with such a powerful teacher, I feel that I can learn this useful thing. Finally I want to surpass Higashino-sensei!"

What Nakano Yusaki said made Yamagami Qianxia couldn't help but pat her head.

This newcomer's thinking is really different from ordinary people.

Ordinary people will probably feel lost for a while when they see the painter of Higashino Division.

But she never expected that Nakano Yusaki was not discouraged at all, and even expressed that she would surpass Higashino Tsukasa.
Surpassing Higashino Division in painting skills——

To be honest, this difficulty is too great.

Chinatown Yamagami thought it was impossible.

But after thinking about it, maybe Higashinoji took a fancy to Nakano Yusaki, and that's why he said he wanted to teach her.

"Don't talk too much, Nakano-san, you should practice more first, and then talk about it after you can actually use the painting tools well."

Shan Shang Qian Xia opened her mouth to remind.

"I see!"

Nakano Yusaki nodded vigorously, and began to learn how to use the G-pen again.

Should it be said that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers?
Qianxia Yamagami watched her copying Sadako, and couldn't help shaking her head.

It was the first time she had seen this newcomer.

Don't learn from the easy, start from the hardest.
Shan Shangqianxia didn't care about her, anyway, she had already reminded her.

After all, Qianxia Yamagami is also a busy person, and she also has her own job - she took some extra work outside, which can be regarded as earning a small amount of money for her pocket expenses.

She drew two original paintings like this, and then went to take a look at Nakano Yusaki's practice.

The other party was indeed as she thought, a pure newcomer, who couldn't even use the G pen proficiently, often poked the paper to pieces, and used the G pen tip to split from the middle.

Sometimes the paper can be poked to make the surface hairy
But as she was painting, Qianxia Yamagami realized something was wrong.

Why is this newcomer getting better at painting?

Indeed, the more pictures the better.

Although not talking about the progress visible to the naked eye, Qianxia Yamagami could clearly feel the difference.

Originally, the lines copied by Arisaki Nakano were very rigid, vertical and horizontal, and I didn't know how to use the G pen at all.

But while drawing and drawing, the lines drawn by Arisaki Nakano are very heavy
Yes. The word 'weight' may be used here a bit inappropriately, but it just shows that the things drawn by Arisaki Nakano are becoming more and more textured.
Sadako stretched out her hand from the flickering TV.

Sadako with disheveled hair, a white dress, and distorted figure
Although it is not as good as the artist of Qianxia on the mountain.

But Qianxia on the mountain can be seen.

"This rookie is really talented."

Qianxia Yamagami read the practice draft newly drawn by Nakano Yusaki, and muttered to herself.

And when Qianxia on the mountain was trying to teach newcomers.

On the other side, Higashino Division and Yano Ryuichi are verifying Nakano Yusaki's family situation.

As the right-hand man of Higashino Studio, Yano Ryuichi is naturally willing to take the lead and take the initiative to go to Nakano's house in Hokkaido.

It just so happens that there is nothing else going on at Dongye Studio, and "Unnatural Death" is currently on air.

So Higashinoji also said very generously that he would simply let Yano Ryu take a few days off, let his family go to Hokkaido for a trip, and there is no need to rush back after the investigation.

After Yano Ryuichi's forensic investigation, it was also confirmed that Nakano Yusaki did not lie.

The Nakano family really had a hard time living.

Nakano Yuko and Nakano Yusaki's younger brother live on the second floor of an old small snack shop.

The room is small and the conditions are very poor.

Relying on the p-site bonus that Nakano Yusaki received has improved the situation a lot.

After finally clearing up all these things, Yano Ryuichi also called Higashino Division in time.

This also made Higashino feel relieved.

Since Nakano Yusaki didn't lie, there is no big problem.

As for her character. The first impression is good.

After that, we have to look at her performance to make a conclusion.

Higashino put aside the matter of Nakano Yusaki for the time being, and at the same time turned his attention back to "Unnatural Death".

Everything was as Toshino had expected.

The momentum of "Unnatural Death" is strong, and even the "Praise of June" by Tokyo Animation can't stop the pace of "Unnatural Death".

The disc sales of Higashino Studio are also stably suppressing the [-] copies of Tokyo Animation's "June's Hymn".

This development can be regarded as within the expectations of Higashino Division.

After all, Capital Animation's "June Anthem" does not have the support of the original fans, they are original scripts.

If this type is done well, then the profit is very considerable.

But the risks are also great.

After all, there is no original work to refer to.

For example, the animated version of "Unnatural Death" has Higashinoji's original comics as a reference, and there are basically no legal problems in the plot.

But "June Hymn" is different.

All plots have to be thought of by the main animation writer, and some problems will easily arise.

Just like the plot of "June Hymn" recently.

Most people have different opinions, some think it is very good, and similarly, some think it is not so good.

This is where the original script is not good.

There can't be plot references like the original with references.

And several other animation production companies.

Due to the eye-catching performance of "Unnatural Death" and "June Anthem", the sales of these animation production companies are only average.

"It's really possible to win."

After reading the sales data of these few times, Higashino couldn't help muttering to himself.

As a new studio, Higashino Studio, without its own help, is able to steadily lead the old big production Tokyo Animation as it is now.
In his opinion, this is already quite incredible.

But it also shows that Dongye Studio has great potential. It is not in vain that he worked hard to find an original artist, invest in a large production, and so on!

The sales of the "Unnatural Death" disc also brought a lot of benefits to Higashino.

Each volume of Blu-ray discs is priced at 2.3 yen, and an average of 2.4W to 2.35W copies can be sold, taking an intermediate value, [-]W pieces.

Calculated in this way, each volume of Blu-ray discs is worth more than 1000 million yen in sales.

Excluding the large production investment of "Unnatural Death", this achievement has already made a lot of money.

This made Higashino Division feel good. It's not just for making money.

The main reason is that he confirmed the current strength of Dongye Studio.

I feel that Hayao Miyazaki's animation films such as "Spirited Away" and "My Neighbor Totoro" can find a good time to start production.

He is thinking about how to take the road of Dongye Studio in the future.

But at this moment, the news came suddenly.

Several animation supervisors from the original PW animation production company who were sent to the hospital for recuperation due to the fire have been discharged from the hospital!

Oh?
Dong Yesi came to the spirit.

This is good news.
