Full-time cartoonist.

Chapter 153 The Animation Officially Begins and Go Autumn Otega Competition

Torishima Kazuhiko told Higashino Hibiki some rules and news about the animation industry, and then suddenly remembered something, he clapped his hands and said: "The animation "Eva" is in the process of being produced, and the animation production committee system was creatively created for the first time. You can split the cost. I can help you connect with sponsors."

The so-called animation production committee is a mode in which a number of companies jointly fund and the animation company is responsible for the production.

Reduce risk and benefit together.

It is also possible to share the sponsor's logistics channels and sales outlets.

An animation company like Hibiki Higashino's play house would not have sponsors who would be interested in it.

However, in the face of the interests of "Slam Dunk", there is no problem if a company pays to make a familiar face.

"It turned out to be the system created by "eva," Higashino suddenly realized. When he was watching cartoons, he could often hear the voice actors thanking the sponsors after the OP ended.He sighed, "What a clever idea."

"But for me, forget it."

If this system is adopted, most of the copyrights of background music discs, comic versions, toy models, video tapes and DVD discs will be in the hands of sponsors.

Animation companies only earn hard money.

"I'm quite confident," Higashino said, "and it's not short of money."

The salary of ten employees is nothing to him.

And "Funny Manga Hiyori" is a fairly simple work, which does not require investment in background music, opening and ending songs, and popular voice actors.

That's what instant noodles are all about, with a little to make a big difference.

Seeing his confident expression, Torishima Kazuhiko spread his hands and smiled.

Although animation and manga have achieved each other, they are far from each other. He does not have the hope of Akino's success.

It would be nice to pay less.

However, it is good news for Shueisha that Tori Akino will hit a wall in the future.

He didn't say much.

When Torishima Kazuhiko and Sasaki were leaving, they warned Higashino not to forget that manga is his focus, and not to deviate.

Higashino nodded and said, "Don't worry."

Leaving the teachers' dormitory building, Sasaki glanced back: "I have a hunch that he will succeed."

Then he said to Torishima Kazuhiko: "Tori Akino Mirai is a person who can create miracles."

……

The animation company was settled very quickly, and the last question faced was what to name it?

Higashino didn't think too much about it. According to the Japanese style, he named it "Future Society", which represented himself and the animation company.

After that, he had dinner and communication with members of the animation club.

Higashino Higashino, a second-year member of the "Future Society", only knows Minami Chiharu and Asahina Yuko, and the other three are very reserved. Facing Higashino Higashi's peers, they are also submissive like their superiors and subordinates.

Like the third-year employees, they were a little more confident, after all, they had the status of seniors, but they didn't say much.Just nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes."

Higashino Higashino is very familiar with the fourth grade employees.

In addition to Ozawa Hibiki, it was the familiar Gao Xueji, and the rebellious Amano back then.

The two of them were very excited facing Higashi Higashino.Because they have a deep understanding of Hibiki Higashino's talent.

Others only know that Higashino is the author of "Soul of Chess" and "Slam Dunk", and a national-level cartoonist.

Like a high mountain standing upright, with a leaf blocking the eyes, the understanding is quite broad.

And these two, at the original animation festival, had a deep understanding of Higashino's works, and the strong philosophical thinking shown in the 10-minute creation.

With Hibiki Higashino as the leader, "Future Society", just like its name, is full of future.

During the team building, through drinking and talking, everyone gradually let go.

A third-grade senior named Bei Dacun patted Higashino on the shoulder, lamenting the injustice of society.

"Your talent is too strong, why can you come up with such an interesting animation script?"

"Funny Manga Hiyori" is just like its name, it is a funny work.It can be small and big.

And the content of the work will definitely be liked by the Japanese, and it is full of Japanese-style funny style.

It's incredible that Higashino can easily come up with works suitable for the current situation.

Higashino didn't care, he smiled and said, "Maybe my brain is connected to another dimension."

"That's right, the president is simply a genius of another dimension!" Amano sighed.

Hayao Miyazaki, who came to the animation festival at the beginning, surprised him, and he fell under Higashino's jeans ever since.

Two hours later, the party was over.

Except for a few employees who were going to have a second party, everyone on the scene took the bus back to Musashino.

"I will definitely repay the president's kindness!" Bei Dacun was drunk, covering his eyes and crying.

Higashino was at a loss.

"That's right! Now that the character design is done, I'll start drawing animations today to make up for the party time!" Amano continued!

"That's right!"

"me too!"

Higashino stared angrily.

He is not going to draw manga at night and wants to have a good rest.

These employees are coiled up and full of subjectivity.

The next day, Higashino woke up after a good night's sleep, went to the animation club, and saw the original painting of the title song for more than ten seconds on the spot...

And the crazy style is very suitable for "Funny Manga Hiyori"...

"Well, come on!"

Higashino handed out ten red envelopes, asking them to make persistent efforts.

……

10 days after the release of the "Slam Dunk" booklet, jump summed up the sales for the week.

Sasaki saw the report and opened his eyes wide.

"There is already this amount without animation!"

On Kazuhiko Torishima's side, because of the influence of Toshimi Mitsui's chapter, Jump's sales rose sharply. He looked at the jump's circulation and laughed: "497w copies!"

In today's era, it is good if the sales of paper magazines do not drop, but very few can increase.

"It's really a treasure!"

……

In the afternoon, Higashino returned to the teacher's dormitory after class.

The teacher's dormitory side is very quiet, without the disturbance of students, it is a very good environment for creation.

Higashino is very satisfied with this.

But just as he opened the door, there was a deafening sound in the room.

"The power of the moon prism! Transformation!... I will destroy you on behalf of the moon!"

Higashino frowned, walked into the living room, and found that Oda was intoxicated watching TV.

On the TV was the "Sailor Moon" disc played on a DVD, and he was actually connected to a stereo. In the mixed sound, he was smiling like a pig.

Higashino stood behind Oda, quietly watching this scene.

Sailor Moon took off the hair ornament on his head, and with a fixed posture, he shouted loudly: "Crown of the Moon! Work hard!"

Then he flung it out, knocking down a few little villains.

Higashino shivered, he looked a little embarrassed, but Oda looked just right.

"Hey." Behind him, he poked Oda's shoulder.

"What?" Oda turned his head impatiently, and saw Higashino with a straight face.

"Keep your voice down, so as not to disturb other teachers."

"...Yes...Yes, I'm sorry," Oda lowered his head, turning down the sound of the TV.

Even so, he barely managed to finish watching the episode.

As he stayed longer and longer in the studio, more and more things belonged to Oda in this house.

He is a man who loves life.

Higashino arranged the manuscript paper and tools, and was just about to start working when he answered Sasaki's call.

"The sales volume of the book "Slam Dunk" broke through 56 copies within a week!"

He came to announce the good news.

"56 volumes a week?" Hibiki Higashino suspected that he had misheard, "Are there so many?"

"Of course it is true, and it meets my expectations," Sasaki replied: "Along with the reprint of the first volume, the second volume is also on sale."

"Tori Akino teacher, this year your income can reach 10 figures." Sasaki said earnestly: "So, please do your best."

He is still concerned about Hibiki Higashino's establishment of an animation company.

It is rare to use income to attract Higashi Higashino.

Higashino did some calculations, the income from "Soul of Chess" and "Slam Dunk", the income from animation copyrights, and the popularity of peripheral authorization...

"Before I knew it," Higashino touched his face, "I'm already a billionaire?"

Although it is Japanese yen.

But it has been rare.

Some of his colleagues are still struggling with life and death.

His mind was agitated for a moment, watching Oda finished watching "Sailor Moon", he snatched the remote control and pressed the program casually.

"Huh?" He was startled suddenly, "Has Akira Yamazaki's Go program not been taken off the shelves yet?"

I heard that after the end of "Soul of Chess", the ratings were very bad.

Unexpectedly, it was still tenaciously alive.

"The autumn Otega game of Go is about to start," Yamazaki Ming smiled sweetly and introduced on TV: "This year's autumn Otega game. There are popular professional players. Guang Linbei player. Now he has been promoted to the professional third dan. His record in the past two years: 1994 wins and [-] losses, [-] wins and [-] loss. This year he may be promoted to the professional [-]th dan with a record of all victories. A very strong player. There are nine-dan players who have publicly stated that Xiaoguang's third-dan will be the future of the Go world."

Higashino admired her very much, and could say these words without changing his face.

When we met in [-], she was already a second-tier professional, and now it's [-], and she's still a second-tier professional.Apart from growing older, nothing has changed.

Akira Yamazaki's TV program continues, "Also, Odagiri Hatsudan, who just became a professional shogi player in April this year, must be very impressed by the title of "Real Shinto Hikaru". "

"Odagiri performed very well in the spring Oshoudai at the beginning stage. With seven wins and one loss, he showed a perfect answer..."

Higashino covered his forehead when he saw this.

He was busy with serializing comics, so he didn't have time to pay attention to these.

"Slam Dunk" is particularly difficult to draw, it is almost torture.

The delicate painting style and countless audiences are very time-consuming.

It is almost necessary to use twice the energy of "Soul of Chess" to complete it.

Especially recently, it is the plot of the college league.Often have to draw the game scene.

Higashino spent most of the time painting the background.

"It would be nice if "Slam Dunk" was cosmic basketball..." He often sighs with emotion.

The game can be played in space, so there is no need to draw such a troublesome background, so many spectators, and the muscle lines do not need to be so strict.

However, he only complained a few words, and he was still working diligently.

Recently, I only set aside half an hour every day for fitness, and in the rest of my free time, I just race against time to draw.

Because of this, Higashino has not played Go for a long time, and has no time to pay attention to Go games.

He didn't pay attention to Odagiri either.

Said that he entrusted his future of Go, Higashino now almost forgot about Go.

Therefore, he can't have both, he can only devote all his energy to comics.

In the future, start short comic series, maybe you can gallop in the world of amateur chess players.

"If only I had a golden finger, or a double "Heaven's Gate". "
