Full-time cartoonist.

Chapter 167
At seven o'clock in the afternoon on January [-]th, Kazuya Takasugi returned home after playing basketball in the park.

While eating dinner, he watched TV. At seven o'clock, there was a rerun of his favorite TV program, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

After more than ten minutes of TV content, it came to the commercial time.

This made Takasugi Kazuya lower his head and start eating seriously.

The plot of Zhuge Liang's tongue-in-cheek debate with Confucian scholars just now made him dare not express his anger, for fear of missing the wonderful content.

"Kong Ming is so powerful." He heard his mother praise him so much.

Kazuya Takasugi was also surprised that her mother, who usually likes to watch soap operas and morning dramas, also likes to watch "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which is like a Taiga drama.

"And... handsome too..." Gao Shan's mother murmured, holding her hands in front of her chest.

Zhuge Kongming is different from the ancients in Japan. He has a confident temperament that he can face everything with ease and has a well-thought-out plan, and this self-confidence is not arrogant, and it is full of charm.

It was a blow to dimensionality reduction.

Takasugi and Kazuya also ate two mouthfuls of rice when they heard the advertisement.

""Slam Dunk" is animated! It will be officially released on October 10, so stay tuned!"

His eyes widened involuntarily, he forgot to chew the rice in his mouth, and stared blankly at the TV screen.

""Slam Dunk" has been animated." He clenched his fist excitedly!

The lineup of the animation was also revealed in the advertisement that it was produced by Toei Animation, and the supervisor was named Kaede Inoue, a famous supervisor of the powerful faction, which made Takasugi Kazuya heave a sigh of relief.

He was really worried that the effect of the animation would not be good, and that it happened to his favorite works.

The advertisement reveals the content of a strong combination, which makes Kazuya Takasugi look forward to it.

It's just that no more information was disclosed in the advertisement, and after the end, it returned to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Kong Ming was still berating Fang Qiu, but Kazuya Takasugi's heart had already drifted away.

"I'm stuffed."

He yelled, ran to the landline, and made a call.

The opposite side was connected soon.

"Kazuya, what's the matter with the call?"

On the other side of the phone is Takasugi Kazuya's good friend Hijikata Zhai, who grew up together since childhood, but separated after college.

But the hobbies are still similar, and I also like comics.

"Hijika! Did you know that "Slam Dunk" has been animated!" He said excitedly.

"Eh? Did you know?" Tukatazhai asked in surprise, "The rumors on the Internet are crazy, and everyone is looking forward to the official release on October [-]."

After hanging up Kazuya Takasugi, Hijikata turned on the computer and continued playing "Tomb Raider".

As the name suggests, he is a big otaku. After graduating from high school for more than two years, relying on self-taught programming, he was able to hide at home and work online.

Except for Takasugi Kazuya, he has no friends in reality and lives alone.

However, he is very satisfied with this state.

Working for a few hours every day, and surfing the Internet for the rest of the time, the earthwork house is very fulfilling.

Before I knew it, hours passed.

He looked up, and it was 11 o'clock in the evening, which was the most exciting time of his day.

Doji Zhai made some instant noodles, went to the living room, and turned on the TV.

Although late-night dramas are shoddy and perfunctory, they also have their unique features.

When the children have fallen asleep, it is the time for the adults.

The unscrupulous, large-scale, and perverted content makes Doji Zhai always look forward to it.

Maybe you can still see a girl with her panties exposed.

Rubbing his hands together, with anticipation, he clicked on TV Asahi.

"In the garden dwells a demon
The companions who can be relied on all look dead

......"

Two people are in the rice field, there is a person singing an inexplicable song, and switching inexplicable scenes, always, very spoof.

There is a very Japanese sense of humor.

"Eh? What is this?" Doji Zhai looked at the TV in doubt, but the otaku Radar told him that he might have seen something interesting.

"Really!" His eyes widened.

After the 30-second opening song ended, he saw the name of the animation script designer, and it turned out to be Mirai Akino!

He stood up, walked quickly to the TV, holding the TV in both hands, "It's really Mirai Akino!"

"It must be a counterfeit product! This is also a spoof!"

It was hard for him to believe that the name of the author of "Slam Dunk" would be associated with this shoddy cartoon.

"Interesting," he squeezed his chin, and began to watch the plot seriously.

To sum it up, chocolate companies are going to use card collection to entice kids to buy their chocolates to draw cards.

result……

The boss slammed the three stickers onto the table with exaggerated movements: "Ghosts will buy them!"

"There are only three kinds of stickers, what's so good about collecting them! Besides, why are all of them showing such a sad face!"

Tukatazhai was speechless, but after getting on the airwaves, he became interested in the plot.

Since the boss was furious, the staff hastily revised it.

There are still three...

"Pfft!" Tufangzhai laughed, "What's the difference from before!"

The same child put on a half-smiley expression, which made people feel disgusted.

There is no desire to collect at all.

It's such a simple content, Hijikata Zhai unexpectedly likes it.

This elusive and nonsensical content brought him a strong curiosity.

The voice actor's speech is so fast that people have no time to think about it, and the plot ends after 3 minutes.

It turned out that the boss fired his colleagues, and the employees used the image of their colleagues' sons to retaliate against the boss.

"It's very interesting," said the instant noodles after the episode ended, and Hijikata began to eat the instant noodles.

The second episode about stickers started on TV.

He ate while watching, and after 2 minutes, he ate all the instant noodles in his stomach.

Tufangzhai decided to read on, he got up, and went to get the paper.But right here, the ending song started.

"Crap! It's only been 5 minutes! It turned out to be Instant Noodles! Fell!"

He imitated the posture of the president of the chocolate company in the animation, and smashed his chopsticks heavily on the table.

……

The next day, TV Asahi notified Hibiki Higashino.

"The ratings of "Funny Manga Day and" are very good. Among the late-night dramas, the ratings are 9%."

As an instant noodle, it is really good.

But this is a late-night file, and 9% is a very average result.After all, there are no competitive works in the late-night file.

"Well, thank you."

Without too much publicity, Higashino is very satisfied with this result.

If it can be maintained, DVD sales will be considerable, reaching 1500 copies, and Higashino will be able to break even.

Now it seems that there is no problem.

The TV station will not inform the show side of the results of the ratings.

Under normal circumstances, the animation company will go to the scene and wait for the first-hand notice.

But here at Higashino Hibiki, the staff contacted him directly.

"Tori Akino-sensei," he said, "I want to communicate with you about "Slam Dunk"."

Higashino stood up helplessly and walked to the balcony without disturbing his assistants at work.

Then he asked, "Please tell me."

The other party saw the opportunity and contacted Hibiki Higashino. He didn't make excessive demands, but just hoped to get acquainted in the communication.

In this case, Higashino Hibiki could only let him waste his time.

I talked with the other party about the time arrangement, the voice actor's construction period, background music, and interesting things about Toei animation production.

It wasn't until he heard Higashino Hibiki's impatience that he offered to hang up the phone.

　Thank you for your reward
