Full-time cartoonist.

Chapter 319 I hope he can rest for a while

When it comes to "Naruto", Kishimoto is not disappointed.

Instead, he became enthusiastic, "The advantages of "Paprika" cannot be hidden, and the same is true for "Naruto". It won't be long before readers will realize the excellence of the Chunin Exam chapter."

"Oh?" Dong Yexiang was a little surprised.

Masashi Kishimoto today is completely different from when he confided his bitterness to him, and he is much more confident.

It seems that he has grown up.

"That's right." Higashino Hibiki let go of Sorachi's hand, patted Kishimoto's shoulder, and Lao Huai comforted him, "Kishimoto-kun, you have grown up."

Transitioning from a newbie cartoonist to a experienced cartoonist with ease.

"Oh hiss!" Kishimoto yelled.

"That's great." Sorachi Hideaki bit his finger when he saw this scene, "I wonder when I can start serializing?"

"Yes," Kishimoto comforted him. "For an interesting person like Sorachi-kun, comics will be very interesting, and interesting comics can be serialized."

"I hope so. By the way," Sorachi's eyes lit up and he asked Hibiki Higashino, "Tori Akino-sensei, do you know about the "Golden Mirai Cup"?Can the selected comics really be serialized? "

He has been eyeing the "Golden Future Cup" for a long time.

Kishimoto questioned, "How could the teacher know this?"

"About the "Golden Future Cup".I really know a thing or two," Hibiki Higashino stopped Kishimoto and said with a smile, "According to Jump's current arrangements, the "Golden Mirai Cup" will be the most important manga award.Not only the selected works, but also the works that are quasi-selected will have the opportunity to be serialized. "

"Oh, so good!" Hideaki Sorachi paced excitedly, and turned around sharply, "Then I must participate! And then serialize it!"

His desire to serialize it could no longer be suppressed.

"Golden Mirai Cup!" A lady came out after hearing Sorachi's words and vowed: "I will also participate!"

This lady is not tall enough, but she is very imposing.

Sorachi was shocked by her words.

"Ah, it's Tori Akino-sensei." Seeing Hibiki Hibiki, the lady immediately became shy again. She touched her head and bowed repeatedly, "I've liked you for a long time. How rude."

"I can't let my wife hear this, haha." Hibiya Hibiki joked, "Otherwise I will be miserable."

"I didn't mean that!" She apologized anxiously.

"I'm just kidding," Hibiki Higashino said cheerfully, "Seeing how energetic you new generations are, it's inevitable that I'll be infected."

"New generation? No," the lady pointed at herself, "I was born in 1973. Calculating my age, I am three years older than you, teacher. Three years. I have been drawing comics for Kodansha before. But it’s been tepid.”

"It's unbelievable." Dong Yexiang gasped. Her face was rosy. She looked like she was in her early 20s, but she didn't expect that she was already 30 years old.

"I'm so sorry."

"fine."

"Teacher, what is your name?"

"Amano Akira, this is my pen name."

Akira Amano, the popular "Tutor REBORN!" "author.

When many people watch the "Tutor" animation, they will say, "Our time is engraved on the ring." This is enough to show the appeal of "Tutor".

I didn’t expect that the author of this hot-blooded comic was a woman.

He glanced at Oda, who was surrounded by many people, and then at Masashi Kishimoto in front of him.

Kubo was not far away, looking at him quietly.

Teacher Togashi was still absent, and the two newcomers in front of him were full of energy.

Hibiki couldn't help but sigh, "I see the future of jump."

"One Piece", "Naruto", "Bleach", "Hunter", "Gintama", "Tutor".

Some of the most popular comics after 2010 are also the backbone of Shonen Jump.

A new era is coming.

……

"How can I be as good as you say?" Sorachi Yingqiu twisted her body shyly, pretending to be shy.

"Thank you for your recognition, Tori Akino-sensei." Amano Akira said calmly.

"If Mr. Tori Akino says so... "Golden Mirai Cup" you have to work hard. "Kishimoto cheered.

"I will."

"me too."

Higashino Hibiki chatted with them, but not long after, he was called away by Sasaki.

"Well..." Amano Akira wanted to say something, but watched Higashino Hibiki leave, his tone getting weaker and weaker, "Please give me a signature..."

Because the voice was too low, Higashikata didn't hear it and left anyway.

"What a pity," Sorachi said to her, "I met Tori Akino-sensei but didn't get an autograph, hahaha."

Amano Akira didn't care, "Can you see the signature you're going to get, Sorachi-kun?"

"Eh?" Sorachi was stunned. He touched his pocket and asked Kishimoto belatedly, "Teacher Kishimoto, didn't I ask Mr. Tori Akino to give me an autograph?"

"Of course not." Kishimoto rolled his eyes. He had been chatting with him for so long without asking for his autograph.

"Ah!" Sorachi screamed, "What a pity!"

"Kishimoto-san! Please give me your autograph. There must be someone!"

"No!"

"why?"

"Just don't give it!"

"Ah, too much."

"Haha." Amano Akira covered his mouth and laughed.

……

Higashino Hibiki was called away by Sasaki and came to the corner of the hall. There was a table with a person sitting in front of the table. When he saw Sasaki coming here, he stood up quickly.

"This is director Shusuke Kaneko, whose masterpiece is "Big Monster Air Showdown"."

"This is the manga artist Tori Akino, the author of "Death Note"."

Higashino Hibiki shook hands with Kaneko Shusuke, and finally lowered his gaze on Sasaki.

"Let's sit down and talk," Sasaki said.

He then introduced that Shusuke Kaneko wanted to adapt "Death Note" into a live-action movie.

Hibiki Higashino was a little confused, ""Death Note"... is going to be adapted into a movie?"

So far, "Soul of Chess" and "Slam Dunk" do not have this treatment.

It is a very risky thing to adapt a long-running comic into a live-action movie.

Cartoons and real-life works will conflict and naturally feel inconsistent.

Many comic book and TV series have died here.

"I like the teacher's "Paprika" very much, but I don't have the ability to adapt "Paprika". I have to praise MADHOUSE's courage." Shusuke Kaneko said seriously.

Judging from his tone, I don’t want to watch the animated movie Paprika.

"Because of "Paprika", I also paid attention to the teacher's "Death Note". This work is excellent."

He raised his index finger, "First, the comic plot is compact and fast-paced. This is an advantage that most comics do not have, and it is very advantageous for comic-book movies."

He showed his middle finger again, "Second, "Death Note" has suspense, mystery, investigation, salvation and other elements, which can attract consumers."

Finally, a thumbs up, "Three, the painting style of this work is tough and full of texture, the style is dark, and the work is full of wisdom and thinking. The plot is very exciting. I was amazed when I watched it. It would be a pity not to be made into a movie."

Another thing he didn't mention is that "Death Note" has a lot of readers, only losing out to the three comics "Slam Dunk", "One Piece" and "Dragon Ball".

Even if the movie only attracts fans to watch it, investors will not suffer a loss.

"Thank you for your compliment." Higashikata nodded in greeting.

From what I've heard so far, director Shusuke Kaneko has a lot of insight into "Death Note," which is a good thing.Future screenwriters and directors would shamelessly say that they had the guts to adapt it without having read the original work. This is simply ridiculous, and of course the result is a pile of vomit.

"I'd like to know about investment funds and..."

"Please see."

Director Kaneko handed over the planning book with both hands.

At the New Year's party, Higashino Hibiki looked at it carefully and asked in a low voice from time to time.

……

Oda ditched the staff of animation production companies, disc production companies, sales companies, etc., and started looking for them in the New Year Party Hall.

"Where is Tori Akino-sensei?"

He wondered.

Some time ago, Akira Toriyama agreed to cooperate with him and draw a comic called "Cross Epoch Akira Toriyama x Eiichiro Oda".

Chasing stars finally succeeded, and he wanted to share this joy.

He had already shown off in front of Masashi Kishimoto, and now only Tori Akino Mirai was left.

"The serialization of "Death Note" ended quickly after one year, "Slam Dunk" also ended unexpectedly, and "Soul of Chess" ended abruptly during the period of rising performance. Readers said that Tori Akino-sensei is a ruthless finishing machine. , I wonder if the teacher knows?"

He was curious.

"Is the baby easy to take care of? Can you handle it during the serialization period?"

Oda has a girlfriend named Chiaki, who is a model.She made Oda's heart flutter when she cosplayed Nami.The two have reached the point where they are talking about marriage, and there will definitely be a baby in the future.

Oda, who has not grown up, is a little unsure about this.

In short, he had a lot to say to Hibiki Hibiki.

……

"Thank you for your cooperation."

Hibiki Higashino agreed to the plan to make a live-action movie of "Death Note".

From the plan, it looks like a good project.

Shusuke Kaneko's qualities as a director are also reflected in some aspects.

"Kaneko... Shusuke," Hibiki suddenly remembered, "Mr. Kaneko, you have published an article about "Paprika" in the newspaper, right?"

Shusuke Kaneko's "I felt after reading "Paprika", an unparalleled work of genius" makes this comic shine.

He is still his own boss.

Kaneko Shusuke said: "I was right, I made a fool of myself."

Hibiki Higashino said excitedly: "Thanks to you, the reputation of "Paprika" has been reversed."

Shusuke Kaneko waved his hand, "It's just a small sentiment."

"But it helped me a lot."

After this incident, the plan for the live-action version of "Death Note" has been confirmed.

……

After the conversation, Sasaki looked at the time. Shueisha's New Year's Party should have officially begun.

He coughed twice, said goodbye to Hibiki Higashikata and Shusuke Kaneko, and started organizing the New Year's party.

Higashino Hibiya said goodbye and found Akimiya Akemi to talk about the movie adaptation.

Akimiya Akemi was very happy, "That's great news. Let's celebrate it well. Just the two of us will have a second party for a while? Let's go to KTV?"

"Okay!" Dongye Xiang showed his face.

Another excuse to have fun.

……

After the New Year's party officially started, Higashino Hibiki said goodbye to Sasaki and left with Akimiya Akemi.

Oda was still looking for Higashino Hibiki, and until an hour later, halfway through the New Year's party, he still couldn't find it.

"Didn't the teacher attend the New Year's party this year? No, that guy Kishimoto said he saw the teacher. We talked for a long time, which is really strange. The venue must be too big. I'll look for it again."

He stood up and searched carefully along the tables in the buffet area.

"Where is Mr. Oda?" Sorachi Hideaki scratched his head, "Where has he gone? I must get his signature today! There must be someone!"

His eyes were bright, and he was circling the venue in the same clockwise direction as Oda.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the New Year's Eve will end.

Oda and Sorachi were panting tiredly and collapsed on their seats.

……

While Hibiki was singing, he found that his lung capacity had become much worse.

After drawing comics for a long time, he had no time to run or exercise, and his health deteriorated.

The abdominal muscles that were once faintly visible have long been restored to normal.

Coupled with sitting in a chair for a long time, it is inevitable that there will be some occupational diseases.

Higashino Hibiki now had free time and started running around the villa area early in the morning.

There is a running track here with a lot of green plants and fresh air. It is very comfortable to run on a winter morning.

"Mr. Higashino, good morning."

The child next door was going to school. When he saw Hibiki Higashikata, he bowed and said hello.

"Ken, good morning." Hibiya Hibiya was almost running when he stopped, his body steaming with sweat, "School starts so early?"

It is now January 1th, and the winter vacation has only passed a week.

"It's the same time," Ken Miyano replied with little interest.

He's been in a bad mood lately.

On the last day of vacation, he got bad news from Tori Akino Mirai's editorial website, that is, Tori Akino's new work may have to wait until more than a year later.

Tori Akino is going to take some time off in the future.

"Death Note" ended unexpectedly, which already upset him.

"A ruthless finishing machine," he once complained on the Internet.

Ken Miyano had a hard time adapting to the end of "Death Note", and he was even more sad to learn this bad news that was like being struck by lightning.

How infuriating.

"Mr. Higashino, don't you have to go to work?" Ken Miyano asked.

His father would get up at six o'clock and rush to work. His mother said that this was a hard work for their family to enjoy life.

My neighbor, Mr. Higashino, has a lot of time recently.

"I'm going to take a two-year break." Hibiki Hibiki told him cheerfully, "Humans are not machines, they have to learn to stop and take a rest."

"Congratulations, Mr. Higashino, for being able to enjoy life." He said enviously, "I still have to go to school."

"Work hard to enrich yourself. Only when you have the ability can you stop." Higashino Hibiki warned him, "You have to study hard."

"Yes, I will." Ken Miyano shook his schoolbag strap, "I'm leaving."

"Be careful all the way."

"Yes."

On the way to school, he looked back at Hibiki Higashi and said, "Mr. Hibiki is such a good neighbor. I hope he can take more rest and not be as tired as before."

When the Higashino family moved in, he rarely saw the male owner of his neighbor's house.

Only recently have I seen him.
