Nobuji Fuji Publishing House editor-in-chief Nobuji has been a little depressed recently.

It's really melancholy.

He even suspected that his hair would fall out if this continued.

And his reason for depression is also very simple.

It is because under Higashinoji's "The Victor is Justice", Suzuki's "The Lawyer Trap" shows a stance that cannot be fought back.

Nobuji Futa can also see that Suzuki Ha's "The Lawyer's Trap" is getting better and better. Whether it is the storyboard or the plot, it is getting closer and closer to mature.

But the more this happens, the more numb the scalp will feel.

Because even if Suzuki Ha performed well, she still couldn't shake Higashinoji's "The Winner Is Justice".

You think about it.

No matter how hard you work or make progress, you don’t have the feeling of being able to touch the other person’s exhaust gas... How desperate is this feeling?

Yes, Higashinoji is like a mountain pressing against Suzuki Ha and Koda Nobuji.

As a lawyer, Higashinoji's black humorous teasing of reality must be much wider than Suzuki Ha's audience.

This made Nobuji Koda even more a headache... How can he surpass Higashinoji... This is his biggest proposition now.

He thought it was a direct way to poach Higashi's back here, but Higashi didn't even take this trick.

Nobuji Koda shook his head helplessly.

To be honest, under such a dilemma, there is still some good news that makes him feel energetic.

That is, the OVA promotion of Suzuki Ha's work "Shadowman" has been launched, and the OVA promotion of "Midnight Bell" by Urashima Publishing House next door has not yet appeared.

This made Koda Nobuji feel relieved and confused. What's going on? Why hasn't the promotion of Midnight Fighting Bell started yet?

Logically speaking, it is already mid-December. If "Midnight Bell" wants to compete for the January drama, then it should start to publish promotion now.

But now, let alone publicity, even the early OVA posters were painted by Higashinoji two months ago.

This made Koda Nobuji feel confused and he was also a little uneasy.

He doesn't think that Urajima Publishing Society has cancelled the OVA of "Midnight Bell". After all, it is a national-level horror comic. Although the length is very short, there must be many companies that want to invest in.

"It's useless to care about these things."

Nobuji Koda shook his head, when he was about to drink water—

"Editor-in-Chief Gutian. There is news about "Midnight Bell"!"

A responsible editor walked quickly here, his face full of surprise and surprise.

He looked like he had just received an incredible news, so he showed this expression.

"Is it OVA?" Nobuji Koda was a little puzzled by his expression.

After all, the OVAization of "Midnight Bell" is basically a foregone conclusion, and even if you get the news, you shouldn't be so panicked.

"It's not OVA, it's animated movie."

The editor answered with some excitement.

"Ah?" Nobuji Koda showed an incredible expression. He put down the water cup and looked puzzled: "Wait, Ota-kun, you say it again. Maybe I am old and have a little bad ears... What's wrong with "Midnight Bell" you just said?"

"The Animated Movie of "Midnight Bell" is turned into a movie!"

The editor named Datian adjusted his tone and replied seriously.

"..." Nobuji Koda.

He glanced at the water cup he had just picked up, then gently put it down, and then sighed heavily-

Unexpectedly... He originally thought "Midnight Bell" was going to compete with their "Shadowman".

As a result, I didn't expect that the other party had no intention of fighting at all, so I went around the fight and stole the house.

Animated movie...

"Midnight Bell".

Editor-in-chief Gutian felt that his scalp was a little itchy. After reaching out, he realized that his palms were covered with hair.

He shook his head helplessly.

Let's change someone to fight the ring.

It feels so uncomfortable to fight Higashinoji.

On the other side, Higashinoji was pulled away by the incest Hosokawa Koharu early in the morning.

The reason for being pulled away is also very simple -

As an animation script, he needs to meet with the animation supervisor and animation producer of Urajima Publishing House.

The production of animated movies is divided into first, middle and late stages.

Pre-production work is mainly done by animation supervisors, animation scripts and animation producers (deputy supervisors).

Mid-term production is equivalent to original painting composition, character design and other matters.

When it comes to the final post-production, it is to add sound effects, special effects, light and shadow, and dubbing.

In other words, Higashinoji's work is just about the early stages. As for the later mid-term production and later stages, it is the other people's affairs.

At most, the author, he will come to play the original artist.

Among them, the preliminary preparations are the most important. After all, only by laying a solid foundation can there be room for performance in the medium and late stages.

So Higashinoji did not refuse, and took the animation script he had prepared and followed Hosokawa Koharu and left.

The place he is going to this time is the very famous Dujing Animation Production Company in the industry. This company has produced countless fine animation movies in the industry. It will not spend money on some unnecessary and fancy special effects for no reason. It is a rare company that aims to "produce good animations".

In this company, there are naturally many excellent animation supervisors and producers.

Hosokawa Koharu took Higashinoji to the main building of the Tokyo Animation Production Company to complete the procedures, and then took him directly into the annex building on the right.

When you arrive here, it is an affiliated floor for production meetings.

Koharu Hosokawa talked with him while walking, most of the interesting stories about the editor-in-chief Urajima who almost broke his legs in order to find a suitable production company this month.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the conference room they were going to.

Hosokawa Koharu took Higashinoji in, and there were already two middle-aged men waiting for Higashinoji.

At this moment, they heard the sound of the door, and stood up and greeted him here.

"Supervisor Honbashi, Deputy Supervisor Toda, the one next to me is the teacher Higashinoji who is responsible for the script of "Midnight Bell" this time."

Hosokawa Koharu turned sideways to Higashinoji and introduced: "Teacher Higashino, the one on the left is Mr. Honhashihiro. This time he is responsible for the supervisor of the animated film of "Midnight Bell", and the one on the right is Mr. Toda Shikami, who is responsible for the deputy supervisor of "Midnight Bell"."

Honhashi Yoshihiro? Toda Shikigami?

Higashinoji was muttering the names of these two people in his heart, feeling that he seemed to have heard of the names of these two people somewhere.

When he looked up again, he realized: "It was Teachers Honhashi and Teacher Toda who made "The Wind Blows Through the Dandelion"... Lucky to know."

"The Wind Blows Through the Dandelion", this is an animated film that Dukyo Animation Production Company can make. The storyboards drawn by Honhashi were called golden shots by many people at that time, which means that by using these storyboards, the style of the entire animated film has increased directly.

Toda Shikami is the deputy supervisor who is responsible for modifying the errors of the Honhashi Masahiro lens. The two of them often cooperate and can be said to be friends with a tacit understanding.

"There is, Teacher Higashino's "Midnight Bell" and the most recent "The Winner is Justice" are really exciting. Some of the storyboards inside have benefited Toda and me a lot. I am so lucky. If you don't mind, just call me Honhashi."

The person who spoke was Motohashi. He was a middle-aged man. He seemed to have been sitting on the bench for a long time and had a slightly hunchback. However, he looked very energetic and smiled when he spoke. He was very kind and was a person who was not difficult to get along with.

Although Toda Shikami on the other side is both middle-aged, he is much more serious than Honhashi Masahiro. He feels serious and is the type of workaholic.

He also nodded to Higashinoji: "Just call me Toda, I'm a little uncomfortable with the title of teacher."

This is really a strange thing.

Higashinoji was a little surprised.

Generally speaking, the Japanese are very concerned about the relationship between superiors and subordinates, and the relationship between the seniors is very important. As a result, Toda Shikami and Honhashi Daohiro seem to care about it at all.

However, even though they were surprised, Higashinoji agreed to the request of the two of them. He also felt that he was not very comfortable with being called by others by the teacher and teacher at all times, so he added: "Then please call me Higashino too."

The three of them greeted each other and met. Higashinoji also followed suit and quickly integrated into the two of Honhashi Yukihiro and Toda Shikami.

Hosokawa Koharu poured tea next to him and started paddling - her responsibility was to accompany Higashinoji and introduce him.

As for work?

That's the matter between Higashinoji and the other two, and it has nothing to do with her as the editor.

"I want to ask Higashino some things."

I drank the tea and called him. As a supervisor, Daohiro Honhashi naturally couldn't help but want to discuss about his work.

His representative work "The Wind Blows Through the Dandelion" and Toda Shikami is already a work from the previous era. Since then, he has basically never taken on any major productions. All of them are low-cost films. There are also many media outside who swear badly for their two golden partners. Honhashi Shikyu had long wanted to shoot a good work and slap those media people in the face.

And this time I finally waited for a large-scale production work, of course I felt a little impatient.

"Can we take a look at the animation script of "Midnight Bell" you brought this time? If there are any subsequent modifications, Toda and I can also help."

It is obvious that Motohiro Honhashi heard that Higashinoji has no experience in making scripts, and he hopes to read the animation script of "Midnight Bell".

However, his words also gave Higashinoji a lot of face, very tactful and respectful tone, and he had no intention of quarrel.

Just after Motohashi said this, Higashinoji probably understood what he meant.

The other party thought that he was a bit unreliable as an animation script, and planned to take him as a rookie with two experienced people.

In this regard, Higashinoji did not show any angry expression. He really had no experience in making scripts, and the other party was right.

Besides, compared to being angry and incompetent infuriating, Higashinoji prefers to put persuasive results in front of others.

As for the location where animation scripts are made, this is even more impossible.

"Please check it out." Higashinoji simply took out the animation script and divided it into two parts and handed it to Honhashi Yoshihiro and Toda Shikami.

After the two of them took the script, they immediately looked through it.

"Story picture book..."

Honhashi Shin-hiro took a look at the script and sighed a little.

This thing is something that only people with particularly high artistic literacy can play with.

Even if he is just a storyboard that draws a key point, a ruthless person like Higashinoji who uses storyboards as scripts...is really rare.

Of course, he just sighed, and then continued to review with a professional rigorous attitude.

Storyboarding does not depend on the form, but on whether it can fully express the plot content.

In a storyboard, you have to let ordinary people know what the characters are doing and why they do this. They have to catch people's eyes and make them feel interesting and willing to pay for this shot. This is called an excellent storyboard.

And this storyboard picture book of Higashinoji-

"It's too outstanding, right...?"

Toda and Honhashi looked at each other, and they didn't expect that things would unfold like this.

Originally, they thought there should be many mistakes in the storyboard of Higashinoji, who had not received serious training. As a kind-hearted big brother, they could bring the inexperienced rookie script of Higashinoji.

But after turning to the back, they gradually learned that Higashinoji's storyboard picture books are excellent, really outstanding.

So outstanding that they can even imagine how to turn the mirror and how to connect the lens in their minds.

While this brisk and neat feeling made them excited, they couldn't help but ask Higashinoji: "Is anyone in Higashino's family engaged in the animation industry?"

Yes, many talented college students from serious colleges cannot do this kind of charity... Could it be that someone in Higashinoshi's family tutored him for this knowledge?

Regarding the questions of both of them, Higashinoji shook his head and said with a smile: "So is my animation script considered qualified?"

“It’s more than just qualified.”

Shikami Toda shook his head: "I haven't seen such a clean and neat storyboard in the industry for a long time. There is almost no delay. I'll pass it once... But there are still some shortcomings in trivial small places. I want to discuss it with Higashino in a while and see how to modify it later."

Toda Shikami and Honhashi Daohiro came to his spirits.

They both wanted to make a good work. At first, they thought Higashinoji needed them to take their teammates with them, and the finished product might be slightly worse by then.

As a result, it seems that the other party’s level is not low, so they don’t need to teach them step by step.

In this way, the probability of making a good work is even greater.

They started discussing happily.

On the other side, Koharu Hosokawa quietly breathed a sigh of relief - fortunately, the talk failed.

Just now, when Toda Shikami and Honhashi Shikyuhiro were about to make an animation script, she was nervous and felt that Higashinoji might be bad.
