Chapter 221. Really... Really going to go into battle? (8000 words)(1/2)
"Teacher Higashino, are you going to cooperate with Yukie Oura?" Takahashi Yumi asked curiously as she looked at Higashinoji who had been dressed in pretty mature and decent clothes.
"Well, if nothing unexpected happens, we should cooperate." Higashinoji explained: "I want Yukie Oura to sing the song "Le Touch" I wrote before."
"Is that true? Yukie Oura has a great singing skills, and with your very nice song, Mr. Higashino, is definitely invincible in the world!"
Listening to Takahashi Yumi used the word "invincible in the world" without hesitation, Higashiji knocked her head directly: "If you have nonsense, hurry up."
She has always been a man who has been in the Three Treasure Hall for nothing, so she must have asked Higashinoji if she has something to do.
"Can Teacher Higashino ask me for an autograph? Oura Yukie's." Yumi Takahashi chuckled twice, and finally revealed her true thoughts.
"Yes." It's not a big problem for Higashinoji to ask for an autograph. Anyway, this time I cooperated with him in the past, so the other party would give him face no matter what.
"Really? Then I'm not polite?" Takahashi Yumi became interested in a moment, and her eyes shone brightly.
"Why are you polite to me?" Higashinoshi smiled and shook his head.
This guy became polite at this time.
Higashinoji didn't care much, so he watched her turn around and get the signature book.
Then
Then Higashinoji watched her come with almost a dozen signature books, and he kept muttering: "This is Atong's, this is Big Head's, this is Mika's."
Higashinoji was a little speechless when he saw her movements.
I'm telling you not to be polite, but you're too rude, right?
But he didn't care much, and he simply stuffed these messy things into his shoulder bag, and was too lazy to care about who was who he was. At worst, he could just ask Yukie Oura to help sign an autograph at that time.
After dealing with the matter with Yumi Takahashi, Higashiji turned around and asked Fujiwara Aoi: "Is there anything Akui wants me to bring for you?"
"Hey? Well, what do you mean?" Fujiwara Aoi heard that Higashinoji was still thinking about her at this time, so she hesitated for a while, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she still shook her head: "There is nothing I want especially, Higashino classmate."
"Then I'll go one step first."
Since Fujiwara Aoi didn't have anything to ask him to bring for him, Higashinoji didn't hesitate and just went out.
After all, punctuality is very important common sense in Japan.
Higashinoji went out and took a taxi to Urashima Publishing House first.
The Urashima Publishing House today is different from the Urashima Publishing House before.
As soon as he entered the office building, Higashinoji could see the characters in his comics everywhere.
The hideous and twisted Sadako card is posted on the wall with the poster of "The Victor is Justice", Kensuke Komime is full of beauty, "The Lonely Gourmet" poster of Inota Goro from Tokyo 23rd District to various places, and the most popular manga "Unnatural Death" poster.
The only remaining posters that can post on the walls of Urashima Publishing House are Kuromiya Akisa's "Between the Dolls" and "The Island of the Wild Evil".
Such a huge publishing house has now become the shape of Higashinoji and Kuromiya Akisa.
You know, this was not the case a year ago.
Even the counter receptionist Usaki who smiled and greeted Higashinoji could not help but sigh that the young man who had just entered Urashima Publishing House, who had just entered Urashima Publishing House, had now become a real pillar in the industry.
No matter what publishing house is placed in, Higashinoji is a resource worthy of being won.
But Higashinoji is actually not arrogant, and he can chat with her, the receptionist, and this makes people feel even more favorable.
Higashinoji did not care about Miss Uzaki's idea as a receptionist. After all, in this society, it is better to make friends with others as much as possible, so as not to find someone to help when you need help.
Interpersonal relationships are usually managed well.
He went upstairs and came down soon with Koharu Hosokawa, who was preparing various book documents.
Next is to visit Yukie Oura.
Although the other party is a new generation of singers, he actually already has his own small studio, which can be regarded as an independent existence of a singer and an artist.
All of this is because her song "The Pirate Ship of Love" has achieved remarkable results and is very famous among girls. It is the first in the list of letter list for three consecutive weeks, with a total number of letter downloads of letters of 750,000 times. Even girls like Konowa who don't care much about current pop music will sing a few sentences.
With "The Pirate Ship of Love", she released several songs in succession, all of which achieved good results. She later sold her songs and albums, and even won the fourth place in the credibility list.
That's why she set up her own studio, which can be regarded as the most popular young singer at present.
However, compared to a genius singer like Yonezu, who has emerged from a highly autistic perspective, Oura Yukie is still less legendary.
Higashinoji and Hosokawa Koharu soon came downstairs of Oura Yukie's studio. After Hosokawa Koharu made a phone call, someone came down to greet him.
The person who came over to greet a middle-aged man with a serious expression.
"Hello, I am the editor of Urashima Publishing House, Hosokawa Koharu."
Hosokawa Koharu stretched out his hand and shook the middle-aged man.
"Hello, I am the person in charge of Mr. Oura's affairs, Banhei Muroi."
The two ended with their handshake, and even if they met, Hosokawa Koharu did not forget to introduce Higashinoji next to me: "The next person next to me is Higashinoji who is the manga author of "Unnatural Death".
"Hello, Mr. Muroi." Higashinoji stretched out his hand and followed Hosokawa Koharu and learned to shake hands with the other party.
"Hello, Mr. Higashino, please go upstairs to discuss the details." Muroi Hanhei reached out and shook Higashinoji briefly, signaling the two of them to go upstairs.
His attitude is not too enthusiastic or too indifferent, and he can only be said to be ordinary.
This made Higashinoji unable to help but raise his eyebrows.
But Higashinoji didn't care too much about such trivial matters. He followed Muroi Banping upstairs and walked into the reception room to sit down.
When the two of them took their seats, Muroi Hanhei asked straightforwardly: "Is Teacher Higashino who wants to cooperate with Teacher Oura here on the theme song?"
"That's right." Hosokawa Koharu nodded: "We must have had an agreement before, where is Mr. Oura?"
She looked around and didn't see anyone in Oura Yukie.
"Ah, please wait a moment, I'll call and ask." Muroi Banhei stood up and took out his cell phone, obviously trying to contact Yukie Oura.
Higashinoji and Hosokawa Koharu had no objection to this, and it would not be a problem to wait a little longer.
only
After waiting, Higashinoji and Hosokawa Koharu waited for fifteen minutes.
Even if he felt it didn't matter now, Higashinoji also noticed a slight scent.
As mentioned earlier, punctuality is the first thing to pay attention to in Japan, especially when companies like this kind of company talk about cooperation with each other, how could someone leave the partner in the studio and wait for fifteen minutes?
How is this possible?
Higashinoji frowned, and Hosokawa Koharu next to him also looked from calm to impatient: "Mr. Muroi, how long will it take for Teacher Oku to come back?"
"It should have to wait another fifteen minutes. Teacher Oura has an MTV program to be recorded today." Muroi Banxie answered, and asked, "Before that, can editor Hosokawa show me the song's simplified score?"
The other party's tone was filled with scrutiny and distrust of the theme song provided by Urashima Publishing House, which made Hosokawa Koharu and Higashinoji frowned.
Not to mention taking out the simplified score, Hosokawa Koharu didn't even move, and his eyes became a little cold on the spot.
Her lips moved slightly. As soon as she was about to speak, Higashiji next to her smiled and spoke happily: "Do you think the songs we provide are not outstanding enough?"
"We are not out of this doubt, but we heard that the creator of this song is Higashino. There is a difference between the song and the painting. I hope Higashino can understand this, at least let's take a look at the simplified score."
"Is that true?" Higashinoji stood up calmly and shook his head: "It seems that there is nothing to talk about."
He turned his head to look at Koharu Hosokawa who could no longer hold it in, and said simply, "Let's go, editor Hosokawa."
"Hey?" Hosokawa Koharu was already a little angry, but after all, he was treated like this.
But after hearing Higashinoji's words, she was instinctively stunned.
The smile on Higashinoji's face had long disappeared, replaced by a calm that could not be seen through.
Seeing Higashinoji's expression, Hosokawa Koharu couldn't help but nodded, stood up with a cold face, intending to leave.
Seeing all this happening, Muroi Hanhei, who was originally serious, also showed a surprised expression. He and Yukie Oura always felt that Higashinoji took the initiative to cooperate with them, and they had the initiative to have an advantage.
As a result, he never expected Higashinoji to leave so decisively.
So he immediately stood up: "Teacher Higashino, he is still in the meeting, and Teacher Oura is coming soon. Are you a little lacking in consideration for doing this?"
"I don't have any consideration?" Higashinoji turned his head and looked at Hanhei Muroi with a little amused: "What is my identity? What is Oura Yukie? He is a singer who has the best scores and nostalgia for three weeks. Why do I waste my precious time thinking about her?"
Is my social status lower than her or I make less money than her?
As a comic author, Higashinoji has already become the father of Japanese professional comics, and has countless fans. "Moonlight is so beautiful" and "Summer is over" are hailed as Japanese golden sentences in 2003 and 2004. In addition, the previous animation movies of "Midnight Bell" and his winning of the Minister of Science Award in the Ministry of Culture and the fact that the social status is definitely much higher than that of Yukie Oura.
As for making money?
That's even less.
Kumamoto's copyright fees, "Midnight Bell", "Lonely Foodie", "Unnatural Death", and "The Winner Is Justice" all made a fortune in Higashinoji. In terms of money-making ability, Higashinoji can really crush Yukie Oura.
"I'm not worried that no one will buy the phenomenon of "Unnatural Death" sooner or later TV series or animation, with a phenomenal comic with sales of 1.5 million volumes."
Higashinoji smiled and said, "Mr. Muroi, I think you should be your positioning. I will talk to you equally, not because you have reached the level of being comparable to me, but because I am willing to talk to you equally."
As soon as he said this, Muroi Banhei had nothing to say.
If I don’t want to, no one can stop me!
You should know that Japanese national singers in his previous life were not as good as those of this silly Yukie Oura. Even the national singers like Sakai Izumi and Mika Nakajima had sang theme songs for animations. Why can you be so pretentious in front of me?
Who gave you the courage? The first place in the letter list for three consecutive weeks?
