Full-time cartoonist.

Chapter 151 Animation
Oda said hello to the security guard at the gate of Musashino Art University, and then walked towards the teachers' dormitory.

He was contemplating his own cartoon works in his mind, and suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing by his side.

Oda turned around and found Higashino Higashino running in shorts and a vest. He couldn't help being surprised, "This is the first time I saw Mr. Akino Tori doing morning exercises... What happened suddenly?"

Seeing that Higashino ran away, he went directly to the classroom dormitory. The administrator of the dormitory waved to him and asked if he had breakfast?

Oda showed his teeth and thanked the other party, walked to Higashi Hibiki's dormitory on the second floor, took out the key from under the blanket at the door, opened the door and walked in.

Tanaka hadn't arrived yet, and the other two assistants, one was in class and the other was also in class.

It was only him now.

There were three breakfasts on the table, which were delicious toast, eggs and bacon. Oda sat down and tasted it happily.

"Oh! This bacon is so delicious!" His eyes lit up. "I seem to have seen how the pigs are being cared for. I have to ask Miss Qiu Gong where she bought the bacon."

He squinted and ate with great joy and enjoyment.

Not long after, Higashino, who was steaming all over his body, came back.

His whole body was covered with sweat, and he looked like he had been running for a long time.

"Why do you suddenly want to run?" Oda asked him.

Higashino replied: "I used to have the habit of doing morning exercises, but I was delayed drawing manga later, and now I just pick it up again."

Recently, he feels that his health is getting worse and worse, even worse than when he was working in communication.

I have worked so hard to draw manga for so long, I have money and status, and I have a beautiful girlfriend. If I die suddenly again, it will be a loss.

Higashino went to the bathroom to take a shower, changed clothes and came out, and ate a clean breakfast in two or three bites.

When pressing his throat with milk, Oda suddenly asked him: "Mr. Akino, do you know which supermarket you bought these bacons from? It tastes really good."

Higashino almost spit out, he touched Oda's shoulder, "There will be no more, this is the pure heart of a boy."

It will no longer be possible for Nishimura to be so dedicated to livestock.

Oda was ignorant, he just knew that these bacons were rare, he looked at Tanaka's breakfast, licked his lips, and started a psychological struggle.

Higashino knocked on his desk, "Let's start working."

……

In the early morning of the next day, Higashino continued to run in the morning. At this time, the sky was just getting bright and the summer wind was refreshing.

Running around the school to the school gate, he saw a familiar person, that is Ozawa Hibiki, the president of the animation club, wearing a suit and leather shoes, walking towards the school gate.

"He is also a senior." Higashino sighed.

For the Animation Festival in the summer of 1994, Higashino was still impressed.

Now that time flies, the youthful students in those days also need to find a job.

"Tori Akino-sensei," Ozawa bowed and greeted him first.

"Senior Ozawa." Higashino replied.

""Slam Dunk" is really an excellent work," Ozawa said in admiration: "Even if I don't know basketball, I can still watch it. The end of Mitsui's chapter made me feel a lot of emotion."

"Thank you." Higashino asked, "Are you looking for a job?"

"Well," Ozawa nodded, "It's at Nikken Sekkei, and it's already the second interview."

"Congratulations," Higashino said, and then asked, "Aren't you going to continue making animations?"

Ozawa shook his head with a wry smile, but said nothing.

There are very few people who can develop a hobby into a career.

A highly educated talent like him cannot enter a large production company like Ghibli as a supervisor.After all, making animation requires more experience than academic qualifications.

Reluctantly entering a large animation production company, it was only production at the beginning, or a low-level position such as an animator, and the salary gap between Nikken Sekkei and Nikken Sekkei was huge.

Higashi Higashino, who has low wages and benefits in the animation industry, has heard of it, and it is really sad.It is not impossible for the salary gap to be more than five times.

Ozawa Hibiki has given up making animations since the failure of the animation company's agricultural co-op project.

Maybe in the future when he becomes famous and has spare money, he will give it a try, but not now.

Higashino looked a little regretful.

"I drew an animation script, and I want to hire an animation agency to produce it. If you look at it now..."

"Leave it to us!" Ozawa held Higashi Hibiki's hand, and in desperation, dropped all the document bags in his hand to the ground.

"Aren't you going to trouble me?" Higashino asked.

"Not at all!"

"What about work?"

"Tell them to do it next time!"

What Ozawa said was categorical. After a while, he hesitated, scratched his head and said, "I have to contact the current president of the animation club first."

Chinese restaurant near Musashino.

Higashino looked at the new president of the animation club, "Asahina-san... so it's you."

Asahina's eyes sparkled, "Higashino-kun, do you have a new animation script?"

She is really excited.

After leaving Higashino Hibiki, it will be difficult to produce results.

There may be some small results, but compared with "Hey-Come Out", which was on the TV station and caused a wave of enthusiasm, the gap is very different.

She thought that period of time was just a dream, and it never happened at all.

After being taken away by the big boss, she thought it was her own achievement, but finally had to accept the reality, and she was also troubled for a long time.

"Are you really going to let us make it?" She asked eagerly again.

Higashino nodded.

He doesn't have time to deal with the affairs of the animation company himself, and he doesn't worry about people outside.

In addition to the situation of my sister Mei Higashino, after careful consideration, I decided to find an animation agency.

In fact, the first person he was going to look for was Asahina.

Hibiki Higashino knows this rich woman very well, this is a person who loses money to make animation, Hibiki Higashino can let it go.

Now that Asahina has become the president of the animation club, it couldn't be better.

Compared with Ozawa Hibiki, the relationship between Higashino Hibiki and Asahina is more free and does not require politeness.

Moreover, Higashino looked aside, it was Minami Chiharu who was happily eating sweet and sour pork.

This one is even more familiar, after all, they have been together in the same dormitory for three years.

Apart from Minami Chiharu's leggings, Higashino knew nothing about her.

Minami Chiharu swallowed the sweet and sour pork and asked Higashino: "Where is the script for the new work?"

Higashino nodded his head, "It will be fine soon."

"Eh?" Nan Qianchun looked at him speechlessly, "You creators all look like this."

Higashino gave her a piece of extra-spicy mapo tofu, "Eat it quickly, even delicious food can't block your mouth."

Looking at the red tofu, Nan Qianchun swallowed her saliva. She had been curious about this for a long time, but she never had the courage. Now that the time came, he closed his eyes and simply ate it into his mouth.

"Smells good." Nan Qianchun nodded happily.

But it didn't take long before she was about to burst into flames.The lips and eyes are red, and the snot is about to come out.

"It's so spicy!"

"Hey," Higashino laughed.

Ozawa Hibiki handed Nan Qianchun a glass of milk, and after drinking it, it took 5 minutes for Nan Qianchun to calm down.

"It's really not something people eat."

She was afraid.

Asahina Yuko became curious, she picked up mapo tofu and put it in her mouth without changing her face. Under Minami Chiharu's panicked eyes, Asahina Yuko's eyes lit up, and she ate a few more mouthfuls.

As if opening the door to a new world, she was intoxicated, "It's so delicious."

The three people at the dining table were stunned. It was the first time Higashino saw such a Japanese who could eat spicy food.

He had to get used to the spiciness of this mapo tofu for a long time.

Just talking and laughing like this, we talked about animation production.

Higashino will open an animation company.

He is in charge of the animation script, Asahina and Ozawa Hibiki are the supervisors, and the daily work arrangement and production director are all in the hands of Minami Chiharu.

Nan Qianchun's position is more like the chairman's secretary.

This can no longer be called a company, it can be called a studio, quite simple, just like a play house.

If it weren't for Higashino Hibiki, Ozawa Hibiki would be really worried about the company's prospects.

"The key employees will be counting on you," Higashino said to him: "We call on the members of the animation club to join, and the benefits will not be worse than those of large animation companies, and you can go to school and work in your free time."

"Yes, President." Ozawa Hibiki replied with a smile.

"After three days, please come to my dormitory to discuss in detail, and the matter of the animation script will also be resolved."

"Yeah." Asahina couldn't help nodding.

……

After parting from Asahina, Higashino returned to the dormitory.

Akimi looked at him curiously, "What did you do?"

"While running, I started a company along the way." Higashino replied.

Although the formalities have not yet been completed, the uppermost frame has already risen.

"You really know how to joke." Akemi Akimiya shook her head.

It wasn't until three days later that she discovered that Higashi Hibiki's words were true.

"President," Ozawa Kyouki was wearing a suit and gold-rimmed glasses, with the aura of a social elite.

"The members who are going to join the animation company, including us, there are ten people in total. There are five in the second grade, two in the third grade, and three in the fourth grade." He said: "They are all people who dream of working in the animation field."

Higashino nodded, ten people are enough at this stage.

After all, the animation he wants to make is just Instant Noodles.

It is an instant noodle show with 5 minutes per episode, excluding op+ed, and only 4 minutes and 15 seconds of feature film content.

Seeing them looking like they were going to play for real, Akemi Akimiya was shocked to find out that Hibiki Higashino, the otaku, really wanted to start a business.

It's unimaginable.

"The works you drew in the past two days turned out to be scripts." She pointed to Hibiki Higashino, and suddenly realized.

"That's right," Higashino nodded, "The name of this work is "Funny Manga Hiyori". It is a work that is simple to make and saves money."

After all, the landlord's family has no food left, so let's try and make mistakes first.
