Chapter 205. I let you celebrate with champagne in the first half! (4000 words)
Not to mention the sudden popularity of "romantic love" on the other side, Sakamoto's life is not easy.
"Hu..." Looking at the statistical data table about Higashinoji's "Unnatural Death" in his hand, Sakamoto, who was sitting at the work table, could no longer calm down his mind, and threw the statistical table out and smashed it hard on the wall-
Damn it! It really made "Unnatural Death" popular!
Looking at Sakamoto's angry posture, the comic assistant and comic apprentice who were in the same studio as him couldn't help but shrink their heads.
They actually noticed that Sakamoto has been painting comics more and more seriously, and his quality has not kept up with the first three chapters. He also covers his face from time to time, showing an extremely painful look, which makes them unable to help but feel that Sakamoto has entered menopause from time to time.
Many comic assistants and even some apprentices want to quit.
Because of this sudden attack... it was so scary that Sakamoto looked like an extremely sensitive psychopath...
Compared to the dull, depressing and painful atmosphere here, Urajima Publishing House on the other side is a completely different style of painting.
"good!"
Bang!
Hosokawa Koharu, who obtained the data statistics table of "Unnatural Death", slapped it on the desktop with a "bang".
This sound scared the editors on both sides, and wanted to turn around to see if the inconspicuous one made such a loud noise in the editorial department of "Aversion to Cold".
But when they turned around, they found that it was Hosokawa Koharu, and then they took back the words to scold them and showed a strong expression of envy.
I am indeed envious.
It is a foregone conclusion that it will only be seen in the fourth episode "Unnatural Death" that has become completely popular. I will probably be able to drive Ozawada down next week and truly occupy the first place.
And it is located on the heads of all the comic authors of the three major publishing houses... What can this mean?
This shows that Higashinoji's comics can be called a trend, and it is not an exaggeration to say "Japanese No. 1".
Not to mention that Higashinoji this time is completely different from "Midnight Bell" and "Lonely Foodie". He is from this battlefield like a meat grinder.
Hosokawa Koharu and Higashinoji who can do such things... To put it more exaggeratedly, even if she happily overturned her desk, Urashima Editor-in-Chief would not care about her.
After all, grades are everything.
Results! Results! If only there were results!
They were so envious that a few editors immediately took out their phones and called the comic author under their hands, feeling like they wanted to draw to death.
"Editor-in-Chief Urajima, you should have read the fourth chapter of "Unnatural Death"?"
Hosokawa Koharu immediately walked to the desk of Urashima editor-in-chief, looking excited: "We succeeded."
"Well...yes." Urajima editor-in-chief also smiled and nodded: "There are a lot of people in the company who have opinions about me. This time, someone started to put pressure on me in the first episode of "Unnatural Death" by Teacher Higashino immediately... But fortunately Teacher Higashino did it."
In Japan, no matter which club it works, the factional disputes are actually quite serious. Urashima Editor-in-Chief hold the rights and obligations of the editor-in-Chief of the weekly "Ao Chill" and the monthly "Aoba". Of course, many people are staring at him, hoping to find his fault and divide the rights in his hands evenly.
Fortunately, Higashinoji is very good and can use his achievements to make those who question Urashima's insistence on the serialization of "Unnatural Death" shut up.
"Then you can tell Teacher Higashino about TV dramaticism in this way?" Hosokawa Koharu asked in thought.
This is something Higashinoji has never known about it. His works "The Lonely Foodie" and "The Winner Is Justice" have actually been contacted by TV stations to inquire about TV drama.
It should be seen on TV at the latest next quarter.
The real-life TV drama of comics is actually not a rare thing in the industry. For example, the famous "Tokyo Love Story", "Spicy Teacher" and "I Am Big Brother" all have original comics.
"Not in a hurry, let's talk about it after this exclusive interview with Teacher Higashino and the fifth episode of "Unnatural Death".
The editor-in-chief Urajima thought for a while and waved his hand.
Although the situation is very good now, it is far from being taken lightly. It is better to let Higashinoji finish the fifth episode of "Unnatural Death" and wait for his reputation to stabilize before notifying him of this good news.
You should know that the only way to truly measure the reputation of a comic is to be a single-line book.
There are also works in history where readers have received good responses in their research, but they have been sold as soon as they are released.
His decision also won the recognition of Koharu Hosokawa.
This is the time to work hard, and we really can't take it lightly.
But I want Higashinoji to take it lightly...
To be honest, Hosokawa Koharu still thinks it is unlikely.
......
“There is an interview activity?”
Higashinoji, who was drawing the original manuscript of the sixth chapter of "Unnatural Death", stopped his hand.
He wanted to reject Hosokawa Koharu.
After all, I still have the manuscript of "Unnatural Death" at hand to draw, and I have to take time to participate in the interview...
etc!
As if he had thought of something, Higashinoji lowered his head and flipped through his notebook, swallowed the words he wanted to say in circles and swallowed them back into his stomach, and asked her: "Well, I understand, when is that? Editor Hosokawa?"
"It's probably this Saturday, just to record a program. Teacher Higashino, you don't need to..."
"I have time." Higashinoji closed his notebook and said happily: "I have time to participate in this interview."
Just kidding, can he answer this without time?
I have to spare a day to attend this interview if I don’t have time.
Higashinoji's firm words made Hosokawa Koharu on the other end of the phone stunned. He seemed to be a little hesitant just now... Why did he become so determined all of a sudden?
But Koharu Hosokawa still reacted and replied: "I understand, then I will pick up Teacher Higashino at that time."
After saying this, she sighed a little. As an editor, the editor's responsibility was not fulfilled. She was conscientious and responsible as a driver... She felt a little complicated.
Out of this mentality, she asked softly: "Teacher Higashino, are there any difficulties in creation? The ending of the fifth chapter of "Unnatural Death" should be quite difficult, right? If there are any difficulties, you can share them with me, and I can also analyze them for you."
"There is no difficulty." Higashinoji replied with a smile: "The fifth chapter of "Unnatural Death" has been drawn, and now I am drawing the sixth chapter."
"I understand..." Hosokawa Koharu replied with a feeling of sorrow.
It is already normal for Higashinoji to finish drawing in advance.
I even like to say that Xiaoharu can be said - Higashinoji is good at everything, but it's just too good... it's too good. It's so good that it makes people tangled.
It always makes Hosokawa Koharu feel that he has no presence and is always shocked. He is not like an editor, but like a big salted egg, just eating but not doing things.
Hosokawa Koharu's answer made Higashinoji smile kindly, and then replied: "Don't worry, if there are any creative difficulties, I will definitely tell Hosokawa Editor. I hope Hosokawa editor can help you at that time."
"I see."
Hosokawa Koharu said hello again, and then hung up the phone, and was a little sad - Higashinoji always did this, the key is that he has never had any difficulties, so the number of times she "helps" was equal to zero.
I wonder if there is any chance to help Higashinoji this time...
It feels still hanging.
......
In fact, there is nothing to say about this exclusive interview on Saturday.
Higashinoji basically replied to the host's question without saying a word.
In this state, Higashinoji didn't feel energetic until he heard the Sakamoto teacher from Mochi Bookstore, supported himself, and began to discuss the middle-aged man with a smile when the data on the first chapter of "Unnatural Death" came out.
He first expressed his regret that Sakamoto's new manga data was tragically defeated by Waterloo. Sakamoto's machine war comics could no longer keep up with his own lack of stability in his mentality. The number of votes for praise dropped sharply, and there was no sense of glory in the first episode.
Then Higashiji sighed again, actually I have been reading this teacher's comics all the time. His comics are really good, but what do you think of... There is a problem, maybe Mr. Sakamoto is old and old, and the plots he came up with are indeed a bit lacking innovative. Alas, they are all plots that have a sense of déjà vu...
In the interview, Higashinoji also expressed his hope of seeing Sakamoto's new comics, and at the same time, he also responded to Sakamoto's previous sarcasm for the first episode of "Unnatural Death" in a friendly manner - I actually don't care about Sakamoto's evaluation of me, and I also hope that Sakamoto would not care about my evaluation and continue to draw the comics I want.
Of course, those who were also pulled out to whip the corpse were also pretending to be dead. The comic review magazines of the Mozu Bookstore, which were also pretending to be dead.
It was like dragging it out and killing! Higashinoji was completely crazy.
Finally, Higashinoji responded with a smile, and I actually didn't care much. Thank you for your advice on "Unnatural Death". This is very inspiring to me in my creation and made me more perfect the plot behind "Unnatural Death".
If the first one is to drag it out and kill it randomly, then the latter sentence is simply to kill people and kill people.
And you hear this is something that people can say?
Because of our accusations, Higashinoji's comics are even more perfect...
What's this matter?
Does it mean we have assisted you again?
The editor of the comic review magazine under the two major publishing houses was so angry that he almost vomited blood when Higashinoji said.
As Higashinoji pointed at the fingertips, Sakamoto even picked up the work chair next to him and smashed it to the TV screen.
The first half ended 0:2, and the sequelae of champagne celebrations before the normal game ended.
His dog head was cut off by Higashinoji and ruthlessly ridiculed... This was simply humiliation.
Sakamoto was very angry.
But he really couldn't refute it.
Because Higashinoji's grades are better than him, he has no confidence to refute them at all.
He could only hold this anger in his heart, and at the same time he was secretly sharpening his knife, hoping to beat Higashinoji in the next single book sales.
Even though he knew it was basically impossible to beat Higashinoji in single book sales, this was the last trace of hope in his heart.
"What if...what if I win? What if my comics get upset?"
Sakamoto murmured to himself in his mouth, and the apprentice next to him looked at each other with fear and did not dare to look at him.
What should I do? Why do I feel that Mr. Sakamoto’s condition is getting worse and worse? It won’t be a problem if I continue to delay it, right? Should I call the mental hospital first?
They exchanged their eyes and became more worried about Sakamoto's mental state.
The next thing is very simple.
The fifth episode of Higashinoji's "Unnatural Death" was successfully released, and the number of positive votes from readers directly topped the top with 698 votes - there is also an upward trend!
It is conceivable that after "Midnight Bell" set a record of more than 700 votes, "Unnatural Death" seems to be about to break this record again.
Especially at the end of the fifth chapter of the comic "Unnatural Death", Mikoto Misumi was walking in confusion on the streets of Tokyo because of her love breakup, which hit many little girls' tears.
Mikoto Misumi gave Takanoshimado a fairness, but she also missed her best love because of this.
I feel sad... I feel sad.
So people were soon surprised to find that many girls started to invite each other out at night.
Just like the once popular "hill climbing together" in the Celestial Empire in the previous life, many girls followed this trend, regardless of whether they had a broken heart or not, they began to walk around intentionally or unintentionally...
This has suddenly increased the pressure on police booths on duty in various parts of Tokyo.
They have the obligation to persuade women, especially minor women, not to wander outside at night. Why have so many little girls suddenly gone around at night like they were heartbroken?
The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department also issued an emergency notice, hoping that all women can stay at home at night and not go out or run around at night. If you want to go out, please be sure to accompany you.
To be honest, even Higashinoji didn't expect that the popularity of "Unnatural Death" could be so high.
He originally drew "Unnatural Death" just to try whether professional comics can survive in the Japanese market... Unexpectedly, "Unnatural Death" was not tried, but "Unnatural Death" became very popular.
But Higashinoji thought about it carefully... Then he felt that it seemed quite normal.
Originally, the script of "Unnatural Death" could be considered a first-class script in the original world.
Not only do men like to watch it, but many women also particularly like the description of the relationship between men and women in "Unnatural Death".
This combination creates the current situation.
This is a good thing.
It also allowed Higashinoji to see the possibility of "Hanzawa Naoki".
But compared to "Hanzawa Naoki", which has not yet been planned, another thing has also attracted Higashinoji's attention-
Chapter completed!
