Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 441 Painting Life Beginning in Tokyo (5000-Word Finale)
"I will definitely get the admission qualification to Musashino Art University. Asi, your "Spirited Away" must also win the first place."

Konoe Lianghua said this to Higashino Division very seriously, and then signed and stamped his own seal.

This is an agreement.

Dong Yesi naturally readily agreed.

But the signature belongs to the signature.

Higashinoji and Konoe Suzuka were not in a hurry to go through the formalities.

This is not to say that getting married in Japan is cumbersome.

It was a choice made by Higashino Division simply because of Konoe Lianghua's entrance examination.

She still has Musashino Art University to pass the exam, and it is indeed too early to talk about marriage at this time.

So Higashino Division played the offensive of coaxing and deceiving, first tricked her into signing, and then talked about the marriage.

In Japan, getting married is nothing more than affixing a seal, signing, and then going to the local district government to go through simple procedures, which is considered a marriage.

However, the matter of marriage obviously cannot be done so carelessly and sloppily - even if it is a formality, a wedding must be required.

For this reason, Higashino also agreed to Konoe Lianghua.

After her school exam is over, she will talk about the wedding.

Therefore, Higashino Division was not in a hurry to go to the district government to go through the formalities, and Konoe Lianghua had not yet changed its name to Higashino Lianghua.

Everything has to be considered seriously after the official results of the exam come out.

And the most important thing now is not just the marriage application form.

Higashino's "Spirited Away" also needs continued attention.

So Higashino Division is also very considerate to let Konoe Lianghua continue to study
At the same time, I always pay attention to the progress of "Spirited Away".

Everything is as expected by Dong Yeji.

The box office of the animated movie "Spirited Away" is getting more and more scary day by day. Although it is not a jump-level growth, it is constantly rising, and it is breaking records every day. Even if it is watched by other powerful movie competitors in the same period. I lost my voice.

Generally speaking, the box office is getting lower day by day.

Unless the word-of-mouth is extremely reversed later, the box office may increase day by day. For this, you can refer to "The Wandering Earth" by the Celestial Dynasty.

At that time, relying on word of mouth to reverse, the box office rose steadily.

But "Spirited Away" is different.

It was obviously a hit from the very beginning, with a box office of [-] million yen on the first day of its premiere.

Why is the box office still rising smoothly these days?

This is obviously unlikely.

To be honest, Higashino Division was also a little surprised by this situation.

But after thinking about it, he felt a little relieved.

The past few days are the period of word-of-mouth fermentation for "Spirited Away", whether it is the Internet, TV programs or radio programs are reporting on "Spirited Away".

Publicity through these channels will of course attract a large number of new audiences.

In addition, "Spirited Away" itself belongs to the kind of very attractive animated film, and it is normal for some people to buy tickets repeatedly, and it is normal to repeat it several times.

There are also some special cases.

Dong Yesi knew a boy in his previous life. In 19, "Spirited Away" was released in Tianchao. He repeated it three or four times-accompanying three or four different girls to the movies.

Maybe there is such a factor in it.

Coupled with the current trend of Japan's national environment in 2006.

Everyone thinks it's good, so you can't say a word 'no', as long as you say it, you will be served with a big stick. This gives "Spirited Away" a better space to play.

Of course, the decline will definitely fall, it just depends on how long the current situation can last.

Higashino made a rough calculation, if the current box office progress is based on the overseas box office situation.

It should not be difficult for "Spirited Away" to win the first place.

Of course, there are still difficulties. For example, it is not uncommon for the box office to plummet later.

Therefore, it is not possible to draw conclusions directly and optimistically.

Dong Yesi took a sip of water.

I also thought of what Konoe Suzuka said before, ""Spirited Away" won the first place, and she was admitted to Musashino Art University".
He couldn't help smiling.

Then he glanced at the situation in Dongye's studio.

After a busy year, everyone at Higashino Studio is in a relaxed mood.

Especially "Spirited Away" became popular. After knowing that their efforts were not in vain, everyone felt more relaxed.

The artists and staff of the production team of "Spirited Away" walk with style.

Seeing this appearance, Higashino Division was also amused.

But he could also understand why these people were happy.

Participating in the production of an animated film destined to become a masterpiece like "Spirited Away", they are naturally happy and cannot suppress it.

This can be regarded as severely whitewashing a wave of resumes.

Even if Dongye Studio can't continue to open in the future.

Artists like them who have participated in the production of "Spirited Away" must be very popular no matter what company they are in.

And when it comes to being happy, I have to talk about Yano Ryuichi again.

He has a smile on his face when he sees people recently, and he is always cheerful.

Especially when he heard that the box office of "Spirited Away" was still rising, he laughed from ear to ear - when it was extremely exaggerated, he suddenly let out a silly laugh.

This made Dong Yesi a little speechless.

Why is the painting supervisor of my own family happy there alone?

Although it is indeed something to be happy about, but you are exaggerating too much, right?
But considering that most of the animation industry workers in this era are people who love this industry, Higashino can barely understand him.

But this is only barely comprehensible.

Higashino couldn't remind the other party, so he could only continue to watch the box office progress of "Spirited Away".

And after discovering that "Spirited Away" has been singing all the way at the box office with almost no obstacles
Only then did Higashino take the time to ask Konoe Lianghua about her study progress from time to time.

Konoe Liangka volunteered to specialize in oil painting, so she definitely couldn't relax in oil painting.

For this reason, Higashino also put in a little effort to guide her oil paintings.

As for her culture course grades
This is nothing to worry about.

Konoe Liangka is always in the top ten in Beiyijuku, and the national examination scores are often in the top [-]. For her, as long as there is no problem in oil painting, it will definitely not be too difficult to get into Musashino Art University.

Fujiwara Aoi, who was in the same period as Konoe Suzuka, was a little envious of her academic ability, and felt that Konoe Suzuka belonged to the kind of person who could get good grades even if she didn't spend much time on cultural courses.

Don't think it's impossible.

Higashino still remembered that before, he and a classmate went out to surf the Internet every day.

As a result, people still take the first place in the class every time they take the exam-it is really different from person to person.

I have to say that time is really the most wonderful thing in the world.

It seems like a blink of an eye.

The unified test of the Japan National Center in January ended quickly, and Konoe Suzuka, Fujiwara Aoi, and Higashino Chihaya all achieved good results.

But it's not over.

They also continue to prepare for each subsequent university entrance exam.

And at this stage, "Spirited Away" also quickly entered the season's movie season list at an incredible speed, and looked here and there as the champion.

This made Yumi Takahashi, who didn't take the exam, sighed again and again. She felt that Higashinoji had firmly held Konoe Lianghua in her arms.

She sighed there.

But during the examination stage of Jiyou, she never harassed Konoe Lianghua and the others, let alone asked them to go shopping, play, or watch movies with them.

It seems that Takahashi Yumi usually seems a little silly, but at critical times, she can still restrain herself very clearly.

Just at the stage when Takahashi Yumi was so restrained.

Some universities in Japan have also successively opened channels for entrance examinations.

Among them, the first is the Musashino Art University of the five major art schools in Tokyo.

Musashino Art University enrolls very early every year, and therefore, its admission notices are generally distributed between April and June.

It was also on this day that Higashino accompanied Konoe Lianghua to the gate of Musashino Art University.

There is also a pale sign next to the university gate, with the words 'Entrance Exam' written on it.

Similarly, Higashinoji and Konoe Suzuka are not the only ones waiting for the entrance exam here.

There are many other art students.

They discussed in low voices, some with tense and relaxed expressions, and some of them didn't forget to memorize by rote with the textbooks in their hands.
Some of this large number of candidates came by themselves, and some were accompanied by their parents.

In terms of university examinations, there seems to be no gap between Japan and China.

Looking at this scene of crowds of people.

Konoe Lianghua was also a little nervous.

She reached out subconsciously
But before she could speak, Higashinoji had already gently held her gloved palm.

At the same time, it was his calm and comforting voice: "Don't worry."

do not know why.

As soon as I heard Dong Yesi's voice.

Konoe Lianghua's original anxiety eased unexpectedly.

She exhaled lightly.

Then he looked at Higashino Division with a very serious expression: "Si, I will definitely be admitted to Musashino Art University."

I will definitely be admitted to Musashino Art University.

This sentence can't help but look sideways.

After all, everything cannot be said with certainty.

In addition, those who dare to apply for Musashino Art University are basically people who are sure of their academic ability-everyone is the same person, so why should you be able to pass the exam?
It seems that he also felt the eyes of the surrounding candidates.

Dong Yesi also nodded without hesitation: "Yes. I believe in you."

I believe you
In this still somewhat icy environment, it is undoubtedly very heartwarming.

At least Konoe Lianghua thought so.

She looked at Tonoji.
In fact, Konoe Suzuka wanted to be admitted to Musashino Art University because Higashinoji obtained the admission qualification here.

She has been working hard.

And today is the most important day to accept the results of her hard work.

Konoe Lianghua seemed to want to say something else.

But as the gate of Musashino Art University gradually opened, she also swallowed the last words into her throat, only nodded to Higashino Tsukasa, and squeezed Higashino Tsukasa's palm vigorously. In this way, she felt at ease Go to the door.

But halfway through, she turned around secretly and glanced at Dong Yesi.

Dong Yesi also smiled, and only waved at her.

This is what it means to cheer her up.

Yes.

Come on.

"Spirited Away" is expected to win the first place. Now it depends on whether Lianghua can successfully enter Musashino Art University.

After Konoe Lianghua finished the exam, she didn't tell Dongyeji how she felt.

She just said softly to Higashino Si, "I've tried my best, A Si."

Yes.

She worked hard.

Then it's time to wait for the test results.

According to the practice of previous years, Musashino Art University should adopt the method of unveiling the list and telephone notification on campus. The approximate notification time is from April to June, and the specific time depends on the official website of Musashino Art University.

And during this waiting period of one or two months.

"Spirited Away" continued to block until May.

In other words.

Maybe when Konoe Lianghua gets the school's notice, whether "Spirited Away" can break the current Japanese box office record of 296 billion yen will also be settled.

Time passed day by day.

Musashino Art University has not had any movement yet, but the dust has settled on "Spirited Away" by Higashinoji.

Yes.

The dust has settled.

At the end of April, "Spirited Away" had a total box office of 297 billion yen, breaking the current Japanese box office record of 296 billion yen, officially replacing the other party, and becoming Japan's No. [-] in the true sense.

when getting this news.

Not to mention that Higashino Studio was almost overturned by the emotional production staff.

There have been a lot of phone calls for various contacts and congratulations alone.

You know, this is the first in Japan!
It's still Higashino Division's first debut!

This.
Really won the first place?
Many people are a little confused.

The news made my head go numb.

Why?

This is obviously your first animation film work.

How did you win the first place?
Damn!
Many people secretly scolded Dong Yesi in their hearts, thinking that the other party was a little too lucky.

Why isn't there a movie that can compete with "Spirited Away" this season?

Similarly, when "Spirited Away" really won the first place, the Higashino family also fell into a carnival that lasted for several days-Fujiwara Aoi, Higashino Chihaya, and Takahashi Yumi who had finished the exam all ran over.

Konoe Lianghua is naturally also happy for Higashino Division.

But besides being happy, she also thought of Musashino Art University, which had not come to notify for a long time.

This is where she is more worried.

She thought she did well in the exam.

But feeling and reality should not be confused.

It really depends on whether you are admitted or not, and it still depends on the meaning of Musashino Art University.

Maybe it was an answer to what I wanted in my heart.

There has been no movement. The official website of Musashino Art University has finally updated the announcement.

Musashino Art University will announce the results on May [-]nd by unveiling the list.

The so-called unveiling.

In fact, it is to post the admission ticket number of the admitted students on the bulletin board beside the school, and the students go to Musashino Art University to check the results by themselves.

May [-]nd.

It's a nice sunny day.

In consideration of feeling of Konoe Suzuka.

So Yumi Takahashi and Aoi Fujiwara didn't follow.

The only person traveling with Konoe Suzuka is Higashinoji.

bulletin board.

Then look for the admission ticket number.

This process is undoubtedly more tormented.

Especially when I heard some people yelling "Yeah" around me, and I couldn't find my test number at the same time. The anxiety was nothing to add.

Higashinoji did not choose to efficiently search for Konoe Lianghua's examination number separately, but stayed beside her thoughtfully, watching her anxiously flipping through the examination admission number in her hand.

"Asi, Asi, do you have my test number?"

"Ah."

"Asi, Asi, I can't find it here."

"Ah."

"Ace."

Already found four bulletin boards, only Konoe Lianghua, who couldn't find the last bulletin board, burst into tears: "Is there no me?"

Obviously Dong Ye Division has reached an agreement and won the first place.

If you
Thinking of this, Konoe Lianghua tightened her grip on the admission ticket in her hand.

Higashino didn't say much about it.

He just reached out and touched her little head, comfortingly said: "...No way. Look for it carefully."

Konoe Suzuka is a very slender girl, Higashinoji knows it.

This kind of girl needs him to accompany her at critical times
No matter what the final result is.

After all, we still have to face it.

So Higashino Division is very patient today.

Accompanied by Konoe Lianghua, he looked over line by line.

then
"I found it! A Si! A Si! I found it!"

Konoe Lianghua burst into cheers suddenly.

It was hard to imagine that she, who always had a demure, gentle smile, would jump up for joy.

But for some reason, Dong Yesi was also infected by her elation, and couldn't help but also smiled: "Where? Let me see?"

"Here! Here! Asi!"

Konoe Lianghua pointed hard at the second column, looking seriously.

But Higashino Division did not look at the results of the announcement.

He just looked at Konoe Lianghua who was staring at the bulletin board, afraid that he might be wrong.

An inexplicable sense of accomplishment appeared in my heart.

She succeeded and it felt like she had succeeded.
fantastic.

But Higashino was inexplicably dazed.

It's like the period of confusion after the goal is achieved.

Yes
Konoe Lianghua is admitted to university and is going to get married. And then what?
Then what to do?

Looking at Konoe Suzuka who had a prettier smile than Huahua.

Some stupefied Higashinoji came up with the answer.

then it's the future
of course.

That's not just his future.

There will also be Konoe Lianghua. Always accompany him on the walk.

"Yes." Higashinoji regained his energy and thought about the future.

Dong Yesi thought about it, and there were still many things he hadn't done.

For example, appease Konoe Tsushima, the old man.

To comfort Chihaya Higashino who didn't know she was married.
and also
Held a wedding with Konoe Suzuka.

Looking at Konoe Lianghua happily hugging him.

Higashino couldn't help but smile too.

Future things belong to the future
Right now, he just wants to take good care of the present beauty.

from painting.

From painting again.

Higashinoji's life from painting.

It's actually just beginning now.
