Full-time cartoonist.

Chapter 152 Anxious Sasaki and Kazuhiko Torishima
Sasaki heard about the whimsical things about Higashihiro Higashino.

Notified Torishima Kazuhiko immediately, then put down the work in hand, took nothing with him, hurriedly went downstairs and drove, only 20 minutes later, he arrived at the downstairs of Higashino Xiang.

The serialization of "Slam Dunk" is in full swing, how can Higashi Higashino put his mind on other places?

Before he had time to knock on the door to say hello, Sasaki pushed the door open and entered.

"Push! Pedal! Pedal!" Sasaki walked quickly to the living room, and found Higashino Hibiki and his assistants looking at him in surprise.

Under his hand is the unfinished manuscript of "Slam Dunk".

Still the same as usual, with such a peaceful look.

Sasaki breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Sasaki, what's wrong with you?" Higashino asked him.

"Mr. Endo informed me that you are consulting him about setting up an animation company?" Sasaki took a breath and regained his composure, "Is there such a thing?"

Higashino nodded, "It's almost resolved."

Now the studio is located in the animation club, graduate after half a year in the fourth grade, rent a commercial house, and recruit new talents. There is no rush, and you can move forward slowly.

"Is that true?" He was just about to continue asking, when another person pushed the door in behind him, just like he did just now, ""Deng deng! " walked into the living room, opened his mouth and yelled: ""Slam Dunk" has just officially started, you are not allowed to pick me up! "

It was Kazuhiko Torishima, he was really worried that Higashino couldn't figure it out for a while, and wanted to finish "Slam Dunk".

Higashino put down his brush and sighed, "Come and talk in the study."

……

"So why set up an animation company?"

Jump has requirements. During the serialization period, cartoonists cannot submit articles to other magazines, just to tie up talents and let them devote all their energy to comic serialization.

But he forgot that cartoonists would still do things like this and set up an animation company, thanks to him thinking of it.

"Oh," Higashino sighed, and told about his disappointing younger sister.

Kazuhiko Torishima's expression was distorted, and he asked Higashino in disbelief: "It's such a small thing? Can you even set up an animation company?"

If he had known about this, he would have directly contacted the leaders of animation companies such as Toei Animation Production, Clown Club, and Risheng Club.

Why bother with mere voice actors?

It is possible to let Higashi Hibiki's sister choose the main character of the animation that will soon be discussed.

"Slam Dunk" is in the process of being animated, and it will be no problem for Akino Akino's future sister to voice Haruko Akagi.

"It won't take much time," Higashino confessed, "I can finish the script of 12 episodes and one season in a few hours, and other matters will be handled by a dedicated person."

Kazuhiko Torishima questioned, "12 episodes? How is it possible!"

"I forgot to say," Higashino echoed, "The first animation I am going to make is actually Instant Noodles. Each episode is only 5 minutes long. The scripts of 12 episodes, if added together, only have 3 normal animations. It’s just the content of the set.”

Torishima Kazuhiko breathed a sigh of relief.

Sasaki said: "Can I have a look at the manga drawn this week?"

Higashino replied: "Of course."

He walked to the living room, took out the 15-page manuscript from the drawer, returned to the study, and handed it to Sasaki.

Sasaki took it with both hands and watched with a serious expression.

The content of this episode is very simple. It is the first basketball game in Xiangbei, against Miuradai.

There is nothing worth noting about Miuratai. It is said that they lost to the strong team of Hainan Affiliated High School, but in fact their strength is very average in front of Xiangbei.

If it weren't for the problem children fighting and being banned from the game by coach Anzai, and only Takenori Akagi was struggling to support the scene, then Miuradai would not be an opponent at all.

It is worth noting the three people outside the field.

The one who came to watch the game was Mu Shenyi, the captain of Hainan Basketball Team, who has won 17 years in a row.

There are also Hainan's main players, Nobunaga Kiyota in the first grade and Ichiro Shenzong in the second grade.

Two minutes later, Sasaki glanced at Kazuhiko Torishima and nodded silently.

Kazuhiko Torishima relaxed his expression.

The matter has come to this point, and he has nothing to do.

Higashino Hibiki has also become a problem child, which makes him very distressed, but he can only comfort himself, it is good news that his level has not declined now.

"So finally," said Jump's editor-in-chief, "is there anything I can do to help?"

At this point, what can be done is to save this guy's energy and let him focus on comics.

"Hmm..." Higashino thought about it, and after a while he made a very excessive request, "Can the animation to be produced be serialized on Jump in the form of a manga first?"

Torishima Kazuhiko looked at him amusedly, "Advertising on Jump? How dare you say it."

Sure enough, Higashino nodded.

He also just said it casually.

After all, this is Weekly Shonen Jump.

Torishima Kazuhiko couldn't agree, not only about the advertisement, but the most important thing was the double opening.

There is no such thing as serializing two works at the same time on Jump.

And it could easily all collapse, and the last two works are finished.

Jump is now a very vulnerable period, he can't help Akino's future messes.

Higashino waved his hand, "Forget it."

He said the second request, "My expectation is that "Funny Manga Day" will start appearing on the TV station in January next year. Please, Mr. Torishima, please introduce me to the animation director of the TV station."

It can save some advertising costs.

Having gained a deep understanding of Japan's animation industry, Higashino realized that if the animation is to be broadcast on TV stations, the animation producer needs to pay, which is equivalent to advertising.

Income comes from dvd discs, copyright sales, music discs, etc.

It was only now that he discovered that the organizer of the animation festival that made "Hey—Come Out" appear on the TV station also put a lot of effort into it.

But they also profited from "Hey Come Out."

Such an educational animation obviously made housewives have a better impression of animation, and the reputation of the animation festival was also spread, and it had a successful start.

It is the result of mutual benefit.

After that, there were peripheral revenues, so part of the cost was delivered to Hibiki Higashino, the producer of Asahina.

Torishima Kazuhiko and Sasaki looked at each other, and they both smiled at the same time.

"You still don't know your own weight."

"As the author of "Slam Dunk," they will come to you instead."

"Slam Dunk" is different from such a popular work, and he can already know his significant benefits before he is on the TV station.

"Dragon Ball" has been unable to finish for a long time, and there is also resistance from Fuji TV.

A work that can bring great benefits, just a few minutes of instant noodles, is not worth mentioning at all.
