Full-time cartoonist.

Chapter 242 The business exchange with Akira Toriyama

Takeuchi Naoko stared at the storyboard of "The Garden of Words" without blinking, and said with emotion: "This is the work of Akino-kun Tori Akino in 95, and his artistry was already very strong at that time."

She was amazed that her "Sailor Moon" was slightly inferior.

In the Tori Akino Mirai scene, many people stared curiously at Takeuchi Naoko, this beautiful sister, why has she been looking at Yukino's bare feet.

Naoko Takeuchi didn't care, but Yoshihiro Togashi was a very thin-skinned person. He lowered his head in shame, pondering the texture of the floor, as if there were fossils of ancient creatures on it.

"The "Jump Festa" event is about to officially begin. The "Jump Festa" event is about to officially start. "

When Fu Jian heard the radio, he took out the time topographic map issued by the organizer, his eyes lit up.

He tugged at the corner of Naoko Takeuchi's clothes, "The interview with Akino Tori is about to begin."

Naoko Takeuchi reluctantly left, she turned her head three times a step, and followed the crowd to the auditorium.

……

"There are really a lot of people."

"People come and go."

"But it's fun!"

"There are cosplays of Wukong and Sakuragi Flower Road, and there are also exclusive figures. That huge blue-eyed white dragon is so handsome!"

Hearing the voice of the tourists, Sasaki nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that their opening ceremony was a complete success.

Now just do the main activity.

That is, the core of the millennium "Jump Festa", Akira Toriyama and Akino Tori Akino Mirai's stage visit.

……

In the crowd, Mr. Akimiya was very uncomfortable. He hadn't been in contact with so many people for a long time, and there were some ghosts and monsters with strange makeup and fancy clothes.

On the way here, he also saw a person wearing a tights with a leaky chest, and he really didn't know how he dared to wear it.

Daughter Akemi Akimiya explained, "She is imitating the tears of the afterlife in "The Three Sisters with Cat's Eyes."

Mr. Qiu Gong still didn't understand, "The young people nowadays are really young and don't know what to say."

Gradually, he also discovered that it wasn't that they were strange, but that he was strange, and that he didn't adapt to the world of "Jump Festa".

If it wasn't for his daughter looking forward to it now, Mr. Qiu Gong would have wanted to leave quickly.He has seen what he wants to see.

Not long after they waited in the audience, the host came on stage and announced the start.

Because it was the official opening ceremony, many executives from Shueisha were present, and they all supported Kazuhiko Torishima. "Jump Festa" is a part of Kazuhiko Torishima's new paper media reform, so he paid special attention to it.

After they left the stage, someone said to Higashino: "A total of more than 8 people participated in the "Jump Festa" today, and this is all thanks to Mr. Akino Tori. "

Higashino chatted awkwardly, "It's really an award, but the on-site staff contributed more."

"Yes."

……

On September 1999, 9, the "Jump Festa" for the millennium began.

Amidst the cheers of the audience, Higashino was invited by the host to play.

"Tori Akino-sensei, you are welcome here."

"You are Welcome."

Higashino sat down on the sofa with the host, and he began to ask questions.

"What is your original intention for drawing manga?"

"I feel lost about my life and want to do a meaningful job."

This is why the boy Hibiki Higashino draws manga.

Higashino continued: "The other thing is for money. I heard that many cartoonists are rich, especially Mr. Akira Toriyama. I am very envious. Only later did I realize that this profession is too hard."

He wiped his sweat and talked about his original intention.

The audience laughed friendly.

"Haha, the teacher is really straightforward."

"Speak up if you have something to say, that's my way of ninja."

"Hey, isn't this a line from Naruto?"

"Very useful, I will use it directly."

"Tori Akino-sensei is watching "Naruto" too."

Higashino said: "Sensei Kishimoto's manga is very interesting, I won't miss a single issue."

The host pretended to be angry, "Please don't advertise."

The audience laughed again.

The host continued to ask: "Nowadays, there are many teenagers who like cartoons and dream of becoming cartoonists. What does the teacher teach?"

The audience listened attentively.

Akemi Akimiya watched Higashino silently.

"Become a manga artist," Higashino smacked his cheeks, "I've actually said it many times. It's a test of talent. There are people who work hard for a lifetime and can't serialize. There are also people who read jump and think that such a painting is their own. Someone who can draw it, and then become a manga artist.”

"Out of 1 people who want to be cartoonists, only one can succeed. This is a very competitive and cruel profession."

"However, although success is important, the process is equally important. In the journey of pursuit, you may get achievements."

Higashino finished speaking calmly, and the scene fell silent.

Many people are thoughtful.

I wonder if someone will stand out from here in the future and realize their dreams?
The host coughed twice and said, "Ms. Bird Qiuye is really good."

The audience applauded.

"Then the next question, why do you..."

He asked all Higashino's comics, including the disappearance of Zuowei in "Soul of Chess", the ending of "The Garden of Words", the mental journey of creating the character "Slam Dunk" Mitsui Shou, and why he drew "Millennium Actress".

Higashino answered one by one.

Finally, the host asked: "For the holding of "Jump Festa", Mr. Akino Tori drew the short story of "The Earring". "

The interview has been going on for more than 20 minutes. Higashino moved his back, and then said: "In order to plump up the character design of a certain character in "Slam Dunk", it is for the completion of "Slam Dunk". The short story The content is too separated from the main line, and it is just right here."

If you learn from Mr. Inoue Takehiko's big movie and fill the memories of Miyagi Ryota into the game of Sanno War, it will cause dissatisfaction among the audience.

The game was really exciting to watch, but suddenly stopped, they didn't want to watch Miyagi's memories at all, they wanted to get back to the official game quickly.

This is even more true for comics with one episode a week.

The memory chapter of "Naruto" has been criticized for a long time.

Higashino can't follow Kishimoto's old path...emmm...the future path.

The host joined in, "It's really exciting."

The audience in the audience couldn't wait to get up.

Now that we have talked about this, what should be said has been said, and now we will move on to the next topic.

The host asked: "Can you talk about your impression of Teacher Akira Toriyama?"

Higashino said: "My impression of Mr. Akira Toriyama, well, he is like the god of manga, he has reached another dimension. I am constantly chasing him, hoping to have his realm as much as possible. This is not just manga, The same goes for thoughts."

"I've come so far, and every time I feel confused, I think, "If it were Mr. Akira Toriyama, what would he do?" Then it suddenly dawned on me. "

Higashino answered seriously, and a person walked out of the shadow beside him, and he said with a cheerful smile:

"Hahaha, I'm really sorry for you to say that."

The audience all looked at him, and then cheered.

"The conversation between Akira Toriyama and Mirai Toriyama is finally here!"

"I've been looking forward to it for a long time!"

Someone's voice was loud, "When I was a child, I watched "Dragon Ball", and my dream became to become a manga artist! Toriyama-sensei! Here, here!"

This made the people next to him look over.

"Hmm... so familiar..."

"It's Mr. Eiichiro Oda! You also participated in the 98 "Jump Festa"!I still have the impression! "

"You're here too!"

Higashino and Akira Toriyama looked down and found that it was Eiichiro Oda who was in a panic among the crowd, and they couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Higashino said: "When talking about Mr. Toriyama, I remembered the time I met Mr. Torishima. He asked me if I knew Arale?"

Akira Toriyama: "And then?"

"I haven't seen it at all," Higashino laughed, "but the people on the side said he had seen it, and thought that Mr. Torishima was cosplaying Dr. Marcilet, and his face became ugly. Now that I think about it, I think it's funny. .”

"Hahaha, there is such a thing, it's really refreshing." Akira Toriyama also laughed.

Because of being tortured by Kazuhiko Torishima back then, he used Kazuhiko Torishima's character design to draw Dr. Marcilet, and now he knows that it is very effective, and his pain finally vented out.

Someone who came to secretly observe heard the laughter of the audience and couldn't help clenching his fists.

"Damn bird Akino!"

……

"Like everyone else, I like "Dragon Ball" the most in the comics of Mr. Akira Toriyama. The most impressive picture in it is Tao Baibai throwing the pillar into the air, and then the pillar flies. Such a design is really Unconstrained style, so handsome!"

Higashino said very excitedly.

"Yeah, stop praising me," Toriyama Akira shyly said, "You didn't praise me like that when you were chatting in private."

"Because it would be embarrassing," Higashino said with a smile, "I will use the title of interview here so that I can speak my heart out."

The two of them chatted, and the host was left alone, but he didn't care. The atmosphere was so good that he didn't need to guide himself at all. Listening to the two masters chatting in the c position is something that can be met but not sought after.

Toriyama Akira said: "Then let me also talk about the thoughts I hide in my heart."

"There are many people who like to see the muscles I draw, but those are not accurate, they are not real muscles."

"After watching "Slam Dunk", what surprised me the most was the muscle lines of the characters you drew. This is very real, but it is also very hard work. It takes an amazing amount of work to accurately depict the muscle shape."

Higashino nodded, "I have seriously studied this. Before I painted "Slam Dunk", I watched many basketball games. Watch how the muscles work, and then draw them carefully."

Akira Toriyama: "It sounds very hard."

Higashino Hibiki: "Everything should be done."

Akira Toriyama: "Because it is a basketball-themed sports manga, you used a real style of painting, which is more conducive to the sense of substitution."

Higashino Hibiki: "The same is true for the teacher. "Dragon Ball" is a manga of a different world, so the teacher drew a lot of animals and various machines. These ideas require a lot of energy."

Akira Toriyama: "Actually, I drew it blindly, hahaha, after determining the location of the engine system and the fuel tank, the design drawing will probably come out."

Higashino Hibiki said: "Only the teacher would say it was a blind drawing. People like me are dazzled by what they see. I can remember many machines now because they are very organized and real."

The two of them were bragging about each other's business, but the audience watched it very seriously.

There is no one who even asked Oda for his autograph.

Oda convulsed enviously.

How much he thought that he was the one chatting with Akira Toriyama now.

He also wanted to answer the topic Higashino and Akira Toriyama talked about.

His favorite machine, favorite color draft.

He liked Lan Fang's armpits and her muscles very much.

I love King Ralph's mechs.

It's a pity that now, he's sitting in the audience like a minion.

"Actually, I've always wanted to ask Mr. Toriyama a technique."

"Just say it directly."

"That's the color draft. The color draft of "Dragon Ball" is very good, the color is very light, it is not dazzling, it is very comfortable, the overall color is also very good, and the atmosphere is very good."

"It's probably because of the long-term training. I have been drawing color drafts for five weeks, and I have gradually become more and more handy."

"Handy? This is a colored draft. It's unimaginable to draw colored drafts for five consecutive weeks. It hurts me to hear it."

Yoshihiro Togashi grinned and nodded.

He couldn't even serialize "Hunter x Hunter" for five weeks, let alone draw a color draft.This is so hard work that there is almost no time to sleep.

Unless he doesn't want to live, he will be so desperate.

Akira Toriyama: "That can't be helped, it was all forced by that guy Kazuhiko Torishima."

"Oh." Higashino also sighed.

"You don't feel well either."

"Yes."

Talking about Kazuhiko Torishima, the two shuddered, and the scene became cold.

The host had to ask: "What is the happiest story of the two teachers drawing comics?"

Akira Toriyama replied: "Of course it's the third Tenkaichi Budokai. With the idea of ​​finishing "Dragon Ball", I drew manga heartily."

Higashino catered, "This plot is really exciting, I couldn't breathe when I watched it. Then?"

Akira Toriyama's expression became bitter: "The Piccolo Demon Lord is my favorite character designed, so I can draw it very easily. It was a happy time to enjoy drawing manga. Until Kazuhiko Torishima told me, I have to continue drawing."

"He said: "Sun Wukong is invincible on earth, and he can also draw aliens." "

"Mr. Torishima is too much," Higashino nodded, "but the universe emperor Frieza is also very good, and the super Saiyan is even more ingenious."

"The teacher used the setting of Wukong's full moon transformation to make Wukong a Saiyan. Everyone thinks it is a logical setting."

"If you switch to other cartoonists and change the basic settings, it will definitely make readers very uncomfortable."

For example, replace the rubber fruit with the human fruit, phantom beast, and Nika form.

"I am talking about you."

Higashino looked at the stunned Eiichiro Oda in the audience.

Sigh silently.
