Chapter 250. 'Don't admit defeat' (8000 words)(1/2)

Higashinoji handed over the promotional poster of the sixth volume of "Unnatural Death" to Hosokawa Koharu, which was the greatest comfort to the lost Hosokawa Koharu.

After all, in Koharu Hosokawa, most of Higashinoji's comic works are basically very short. Except for "The Lonely Foodie" in the monthly magazine "Aoba", there are basically no medium-length works. Therefore, some people question whether Higashinoji lacks the ability to create medium-length works.

So "Unnatural Death" was successfully serialized to Volume 6, and there is still a momentum to continue serializing... Of course, this made Hosokawa Koharu a little happy.

"If you really can't produce a good work, I don't have to force you, Higashino." Hosokawa Koharu packed Higashinoji's promotional poster in a file bag, and did not forget to comfort Higashinoji: "Our Urashima Publishing House is responsible for printing textbooks... Although this kind of opportunity is rare, it is not rare. There is really no need for Higashinoji, you can force yourself too much."

She was worried that Higashinoji was forced to create herself for her face, so she added with a joke: "My face is not worth much money, Teacher Higashino should relax."

This made Higashinoji funny and a little helpless.

However, considering that Hosokawa Koharu is mainly considering things for himself, I hope he won't be too tired... Hosokawa Koharu is originally a nagging personality, so Higashinoji didn't say much, but just smiled and responded several times in a row.

Next to Higashinoji, Chiaki Yama was a little unbearable and asked Higashinoji curiously: "Teacher Higashino, can we three apprentices really participate in the original painting of "The Victor is Justice"?"

Shi Higashino thought that this is not nonsense?

Otherwise, why would I spend so much effort to train you?

And if I had to do everything myself, wouldn’t it be completely overturned?

"Of course," Higashinoji replied simply: "But I didn't just withdraw from the original painting group to be a hand-off manager. I will still check the original paintings submitted by the original painting group."

The latter sentence relieved Qianxia of Shanshang to a lot of peace.

After all, the teacher Higashinoji has a very high level of guidance. With his help, you basically don’t have to worry about any problems with the original painting.

"Go to work." Higashinoji took out a piece of A4 paper and shouted without raising his head.

"Yes. I understand." Shankanqian lowered his head respectfully and obediently, and did not continue to speak, but began to prepare today's original drawings seriously.

I have to say that Higashinoji's "The Victory Is Justice" is probably the most convenient original draft ever drawn by a novice, because many storyboards of Higashinoji's "The Victory Is Justice" can be used directly, and it gives people a very comfortable feeling.

This also made Chia Yamakami sigh at the skill of Higashinoji's storyboard.

If you have to pick a flaw.

That's what Higashinoji painted so much... so detailed.

In a simple way, it is too difficult to copy.

It's really hard to copy.

All the characters written by Higashinoji are vivid, including eyebrows, corners of eyes, facial contours, nose bridge, hairstyle and bangs... Everything is presented in front of you as if three-dimensional.

This is too difficult to copy.

In addition, Higashinoji's pen lines are very sophisticated and have a proper thickness, which makes it more difficult to copy.

You should know that more than 99% of the original paintings are consistent with the original work, but they must be about 80% of them similar to the original work... If the restoration level is not high enough, it will offend the fans on the original work... The production company has to come forward and issue an apology statement.

But copying Higashinoji's original work...

To be honest, it is already very good to have eighty or ninety percent similarities.

Because no matter how you draw it, it seems to be a little different from Higashinoji's own painting...

It’s like the difference between Li Kui and Li Gui, it’s obviously just one word different, but it’s all very different.

Qianxia, ​​who was painting at the same time, stopped writing and encountered trouble. In front of her was a painting of Yan Yi by Kensuke Komime, the male protagonist of "The Victory is Justice", but no matter how she painted it... she couldn't inexplicably draw the "exaggerated, funny" feeling of Higashinoji.

So she pinched the original painting and curiously prepared to ask Higashinoji questions.

But before she could speak, she saw Higashinoji writing hard against the A4 printing paper in front of her, and her movements were straightforward.

Well...

Qianxia, ​​the mountain, did not dare to disturb Higashinoji. After all, her boss was busy with her own affairs. She dared to step forward to interrupt...? Isn't that asking for scolding?

However, Chiashi Yama was also a little curious about what Higashinoji was doing. The other party's moves like a dragon and snake are not like drawing original paintings.

She glanced at her eyes, and what entered her eyes was a line of beautiful handwriting.

This did not attract too much attention from Chiashi Yama. She knew that in addition to his superb painting skills, Higashinoji also wrote good handwriting on the go, which is enviable.

But...this seems not a word?

Looking at the numbers and musical symbols marked on the A4 copy paper, Shan Shangshang Qianxia touched her head.

She reacted.

This is probably a song written by Higashinoji for Hosokawa Koharu... Didn't you say it before? Come and get it tomorrow.

But... I just started writing it directly? Don't even use drafts?

This speed reminded her of the essay she wrote randomly when she was a child, "What do you want to do when you grow up?" She wrote it randomly at that time, which was similar to the current action of Higashiji.

"... "Don't Give Up" (there are other translations "Don't Give Up" and "Don't Give Up")?"

The title of this song really looks quite positive...but this is too straightforward, right? It's even a little simple.

The names of Higashinoji's "Lemon" and "Our Hands are empty" are good. They sound very literary and need to be guessed. They are very literary.

However, Qianxia Yamakura didn't understand the songs. She read the simplified score written by Higashinoji for a long time, and then gave up.

She couldn't understand at all.

But she will read the lyrics.

"I will always remember the happy heartbeat when I meet you by chance. I fell in love with this season with soft tones, just like I fell in love with you who shines on that day. Don't give in, it's only a little bit. Please insist on running to the end, no matter how far away. My heart will be with you..."

The lyrics of Qianxia in the mountains are recited. The more I read the lyrics, the more I feel that the lyrics are catchy, and the content is also very urging.

But... she couldn't sing it and didn't know the tune, which made her a little moved.

I have to say that the meaning of learning is reflected at this time. If you don’t study, you won’t even understand a simplified score and you won’t even sing the song you like.

She stood beside her and watched for a while, freed her thoughts from the song, and put more on Higashinoji's terrifying speed of writing songs and lyrics.

This speed...

They were all writing randomly, why was the teacher scolded her for her essays? The lyrics written by Higashinoji made her feel catchy and easy to understand?

It is true that people cannot be generalized.

Just as she was thinking this way, Higashinoji suddenly turned around and said, "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

When he raised his hand to write the simplified notation, he heard Qianxia, ​​who was chanting the lyrics on the mountain behind him as if he was chanting scriptures. This attracted Higashinoji's attention to it to the point of view, making him unable to help but look back.

"I just want to ask Teacher Higashino for some questions on the original painting... Sorry, I'm rude." Chiashi Yamakami bowed and apologized for his peeking behavior just now.

Higashinoji obviously didn't care about such trivial matters. He just waved his hand and handed the simplified score to the other party: "What do you think of this song?"

"Hey...? Cough, sorry, Teacher Higashino, I don't know how to read the music score..."

"..." Higashinoji.

You don’t know how to read the music score, why do you still recite scriptures behind me? Are you in a panic?

He was a little speechless. He originally thought that Qianxia of Shanshang was the kind of young man who loved music and could ask her to help her refer to it.

Seeing that Higashinoji's expression was wrong, and seemed to want to criticize her appearance, Chia Yamakami immediately expressed his opinion: "But the lyrics are very good, I read them very easily."

"Is it easy?" Higashinoji smiled.

To be honest, this review is indeed a bit nonsense.

The lyrics of that song are not smooth?

If it doesn't work well, can you still sing it?

However, since Shankansu didn't even know how to read the simplified score, Higashinoji naturally didn't intend to make things difficult for her.

After all, Higashinoji is not the one who cares too much about such things.

He took the original painting handed over by Qianxia Shan, then criticized her fiercely, and said that her head was about to shrink into her neck. Then he smiled and gave up.

This made Chiashi Yamagata swear again that if Higashinoji was doing other jobs in the future, he would never disturb him.

Higashinoji smiled and scolded people, and he felt like a murderer smiling.

After criticizing Chika Yamaki, Higashinoji, who didn't know that he had been labeled as a "smiling murderer", he turned around and looked at the song in front of him.

When it comes to this song "Don't Give Up", we have to mention the bubble economy of Japan back then. Japan was indeed in glory and looked extremely prosperous. Every Japanese feels that they have made a fortune and thinks that tomorrow will be richer than today.

To give a very simple example, college students from ordinary schools will be admitted to more than five companies after graduation. In order to compete for them, the club will lock them in a luxurious hot spring hotel once they are settled. As soon as graduates from top schools graduate, the club will take the initiative to provide you with an export car and arrange a high-end apartment residence...

Japan was too prosperous at that time. If the company had not spent all the social engagement funds, it would be saved and you would even be called a "nothing" guy and would not even be able to do social engagement well.

Later, the Japanese bubble economy broke down, and the national economic depression was in a great recession. About 3,000 Japanese companies lay off employees. A group of high-educational college students and homeless people, and many people's dream of Tokyo was shattered, and they began to cycle between jumping off a building and unemployment.

This song "Don't Give Up" came into being in that era, and it's not an exaggeration to say... This song originally encouraged a Japanese era and became popular for more than 20 years. Not only on TV variety shows, but even the old stubborn people in the Japanese education industry highly praised this song. Even if it was time for an audience survey in Japan in 2010, this song was still the most popular song of the year, with an approval rate of more than 80%.

Its singer, Sakai Izumizu, is regarded as a national treasure-level rock queen in Japan, and is in the limelight.

But while taking out this song, Higashinoji was also hesitant.

Because based on the background, the era of "Don't Give Up" took off during the Japanese economic depression. Is it too late to take it out now? After all, I lost the right time and place, and even Higashinoji was not the sweet "sister" of Sakai Izumizu (it was originally called the "peak of yellow people's appearance" by the Japanese media), and even the last person could not be saved.

Is it really appropriate to take out this song?

But soon, Higashinoji shook his head thinking and felt that he was completely overthinking.

A good song can become a trend of the times because it conforms to the times, but you can't say that this song is a masterpiece that was praised entirely because of that era.
To be continued...
