Chapter 286. Look at the essence of the problem (8000 words)
Higashinoji was so funny.
If he really has the ability to draw money, would he still have to work hard to make money?
Fujiwara Aoi next to her was speechless for a moment - this guy was stupid when he reached the critical moment.
Shouldn’t you praise Higashino’s paintings for being good at this time?
She shook her head, intending to smooth things over, and then...
Then she saw Higashinoji take Takahashi Yumi's 10,000 yen and stuff it into her pocket, and said, "Yumi, do you believe it or not, I can turn your banknote into two?"
"Yeah!" Takahashi Yumi nodded vigorously, concentrating, as if she wanted to remember Higashiji's technique.
But... Higashinoji's technique is useless.
He took two 1,000 yen banknotes directly from his wallet and handed them over to Takahashi Yumi.
"Hey..." Takahashi Yumi, who took Higashinoji's two 1,000 yen, opened her mouth.
"I forgot to tell you that although this method can turn a banknote into two, there is also a bad thing about it, which is that it will turn 10,000 yen into two banknotes of 1,000 yen."
Higashinoji explained: "If you have more 10,000 yen bills, I can change them to you a few more times."
When he said this, Yumi Takahashi was also stunned.
Usually she would punch others to death, but she didn't expect to be shocked by Higashiji today.
Fortunately, Higashinoji didn't think he wanted to take her ten thousand yen away. He just teased her for a few words and returned the money.
"Teacher Higashino, have you thought of the specific name for this work?" Ai Kono, who had been unable to talk to him, finally got the chance and hurriedly came up to ask.
She felt that she was a rational fan, but the idol was right in front of her, so she had to ask about the theme and name of the new work.
"The name of this painting...? Oh...it's called "Landscape Tree". " Higashinoji responded casually.
As mentioned before, he didn't care about this wall painting, it was just an essay-like work. Apart from the novelty of the painting method in this era, it was really nothing - by the way, Higashinoji really painted himself quite handsomely.
So there is no need to think about the name so seriously when drawing something that is then put.
But what Higashinoji didn't expect was that Ari Kono, who asked the question just now, couldn't help but hold her chin and began to murmur consciously: "So that's the case, the object of the painting is the landscape tree, and the landscape tree that finally jumped out of the wall and stood in reality..."
She was energetic, her eyes shining brightly at Higashinoji:
"Teacher Higashino, the reason why you chose the name "Landscape Tree" is to express our reality. The work may be a bit unfamiliar, difficult, and can't see anything from the surface, but we have to simplify it, put aside everything, and understand it from the most essential level of things. As long as this is the case, we will not get lost in the maze of art, right?"
ah?
Higashinoji listened to her set of theories, and felt a little confused.
The name he just said casually? Why can I pull out so many things when I get to this Ari Kono?
Is my status in Ari Kono's heart so high?
Yumi Takahashi next to her is the most straightforward? She touched her head and glanced at the painting behind her. She was a little confused: "Is that so? Is Teacher Higashino trying to express these meanings? Why do I feel like it is a name he said casually?"
But she is straightforward? Ai Kono next to her was also stubborn, and she said unconvincedly:
"That's what Mr. Higashino means, surely."
As they said that, the two looked at Higashinoji together.
Seeing that the war seemed to spread to him again, Higashinoji did not hesitate? He laughed a few times and fooled the topic. At the same time, he waved to Reisan Ishikawa, who was holding the camera on the other side to take pictures.
I have to say that today's Ishikawa Reisan is really very satisfied.
Not only did he successfully invite Higashinoji to visit Aomori High School, but Higashinoji even left his works here... This is simply a good thing that a pie fell from the sky.
So as soon as he saw Higashiji say hello to him, Reisan Ishikawa smiled and greeted him: "Teacher Higashino? What a good work. This is really a novel wall painting method."
"Mr. Ishikawa is too good." Higashinoji waved his hand with a smile? He began to greet the other party.
The wall painting has been finished and the work has been left behind. Next, I will take a few glances at other places and you can almost leave Aomori High School.
Higashinoji Mitsumi expressed his thoughts, and Ishikawa Reisan, who had been a member of the years, could naturally understand it.
After the two of them had just a brief conversation, Higashiji nodded politely to him? He took the group to leave directly.
......
"I'm really troubled you today! Brother Si!" Koma Rinka bowed deeply to Higashinoji.
She is completely famous in school this time.
Kome Rinka could almost imagine that from today onwards, the story of Higashinoji being her cousin's boyfriend will spread throughout the school.
After all, the Japanese school circle is not like the Celestial Empire, and the school circle here has always been very small. There are only two or three hundred people who die in a grade. Basically, one thing will be circulated everywhere after one person knows it. It won’t take long for the entire school to spread.
But for Rinka Konomiya, this is actually a headache.
She could almost imagine that by then many people would come to inquire about Higashinoji's gossip - this is also a question of Higashinoji's influence.
Perhaps the name Higashinoji has never been heard by some middle-aged and elderly people from the Showa era.
But among young people, Higashinoji's "Unnatural Death" and the popular "Winner is Justice" are all topics of conversation after meeting.
Such people find a girl who once studied in the school and become a girlfriend... This will undoubtedly spark topics and discussions.
But then again... Higashinoji's brother-in-law is really excellent.
I am willing to solve the problem for myself without having to speak up... If I can find such a brother-in-law, I believe my cousin's life will definitely not be too bad after returning to Tokyo.
She chatted with Higashinoji and others for a while before leaving reluctantly.
There is no way. Although the wall painting homework was solved, the sketching homework was not over yet, and she still had a lot of things to be busy with when she returned.
After seeing off Rinhua from Oshiro, Higashinoji and his team also took advantage of the situation to scan Aomori High School.
They were busy all the time, and Higashinoji signed several names for Ari Kono, and then they got out of Aomori High School and returned to the hotel to have a meal.
It can be seen that Chihaki Higashino and the others had a good time today, at least it was much better than the whaling sightseeing that was neither up nor down yesterday.
At this time, Tokyo Urashima Publishing House.
"The latest episode of Teacher Higashino's "Unnatural Death" is still very popular... I am really worthy of being Teacher Higashino, the leader of Hosokawa." The editor of Oshima looked at Koharu Hosokawa on the other side, and felt a little envious when he spoke.
Strictly speaking, "Unnatural Death" is not only a pillar work by Urajima Publishing House, but also one of the few national-level works in the comics industry at present.
Holding this kind of killer weapon, Hosokawa Koharu feels that it is very promising to be promoted to the deputy editor at the beginning of next year.
On the other side, Koharu Hosokawa naturally knew what the editor of Oshima was thinking. She smiled helplessly and explained:
"In fact, it's still another matter if you can last until next year... Editor of Oshima, do you know what nicknames Higashino have in addition to printers in the reader group?"
"I'm not sure about this." The editor of Oshima told the truth.
He usually struggles to keep in mind his author, let alone pay attention to Higashinoji.
"They call Hitono's 'Short and Medium Comics Killer' - in other words, Hitono's comics are all wonderful, but each one is finished so early. After reading his comics, I feel like I want to hold a knife on his neck and let him continue to draw... So I call Hitono's 'Short and Medium Comics Killer..."
Listen to others' words, listen to what is inside.
The editor of Oshima suddenly realized. He looked up at Hosokawa Koharu in surprise: "Team Leader Hosokawa, do you mean that Teacher Higashino is planning to finish again? No way?"
"Unnatural Death" is a national-level work! This is a level that a comic writer wants to reach even if he sacrifices his life! I heard that "Unnatural Death" has even tended to become a TV drama recently...
As a result, Higashinoji plans to finish the book again?
When "Midnight Bell" was completed, no one spoke, and when "The Victory Is Justice" was completed, no one spoke, but now "Unnatural Death" was completed.
The editor of the Big Island thinks that someone can speak.
After all, this is a national-level work... There will always be someone who wants Higashinoji to continue painting.
Looking at the editor of Oshima with a look of surprise and suspicion.
Hosokawa Koharu couldn't help but grab his head, sighed, full of helplessness towards Higashinoji: "Don't be so anxious to draw conclusions first, editor of Oshima, this is actually some of my personal guesses."
Yes, that's just her guess.
After all, after working with Higashinoji for so long, she probably understood what Higashinoji had before the end of the book... and the current "Unnatural Death" gives her this feeling.
The author of my own is good at everything, without delaying the manuscript, and has quality. However, even this short and powerless problem cannot be cured.
"Just guess..." The editor of Oshima on the other side breathed a sigh of relief because of Koharu Hosokawa's words.
"You really scared me, editor Hosokawa, I thought it was really going to be finished."
"...I can only say that I am planning ahead." Hosokawa Koharu grabbed his hair and shrugged.
She just had this premonition now, but she hadn't received a call from Higashinoji, so she couldn't draw a conclusion at this time.
If Shima Higashino plans to finish the book "Unnatural Death", she will inevitably communicate with editor-in-chief Urashima.
After all, the current "Unnatural Death"... is not the kind of work that can be finished just by saying it.
And at this time Higashinoji—
"I'll go back to Tokyo the day after tomorrow." Higashinoji, who was already sitting in the room, looked out his cell phone and took a look at the date.
This time I went out for five days, specifically four days of sightseeing and one day of transportation.
I originally planned to see the windmill to generate electricity today, but due to the change in the plan, I went to Aomori High School, so the reservation to see the Aomori Windmill was postponed until tomorrow.
But compared to this...
Higashinoji pondered and flipped through the phone number from his Higashino studio.
Perhaps it was because there was no problem with Higashino Studio, and Yano Ryuichi over there called him every day to report the situation on that day, and he didn't mention anything else.
This is undoubtedly a good thing.
This shows that even if you leave Higashinoji, Higashino Studio can still operate as usual, and there will be no problems.
This made Higashinoji very satisfied. Similarly, he was always paying attention to the situation of his comic "Unnatural Death".
The current average sales volume of "Unnatural Death" is 2.1 million volumes, and its growth has basically stagnated.
This shows that the potential of "Unnatural Death" has ended here. Even Higashinoji is powerless to climb up.
But if you think about it carefully, "Unnatural Death" that was not favored by a number of publishers at the time, and even "Unnatural Death" that was slightly suppressed by large publishers such as Iwakao Publishing House and Mozhu Bookstore can be considered a miracle.
There are 2.1 million volumes. No matter which publishing house you put in, it is a giant panda protection-level work - Taizhuzi is available every year, but national comics are different.
One movie only appeared in one or two years, or even five or six years.
And now, as home scanners are beginning to rise, many comics have been reprinted or even pirated on some English websites... Paper media is gradually declining... It is becoming increasingly difficult to produce national-level works like "Unnatural Death".
This is not an exaggeration. After the Japanese comic magazine elder brother Jump in his previous life completed the "Dragon Ball" and "Naughter" of this magazine, there were no national-level works except "Pirates".
That decline has gradually emerged in Japan, which is in parallel today.
"If nothing unexpected happens, then smartphones will appear, and sales of major comics and magazines will begin to decline..."
Higashinoji muttered.
But it's only 2004 now, at most, national comics are becoming increasingly difficult to appear. It's actually unnecessary for him to consider the smartphone matters a few years later.
The most important thing is that the success of "Unnatural Death" has also verified Higashinoji's previous ideas - the professional type of manga is indeed interesting, and the potential is not weak.
"I can almost take out "Hanzawa Naoki"..." Higashino murmured to himself.
The entire fifty chapters of "Unnatural Death" have now begun to enter the ending stage. Higashinoji feels that he is almost going to start preparing a new comic.
"Hanzawa Naoki" is Higashinoji's choice.
After all, with "Unnatural Death" ahead of him, verifying the specific situation of professional comics, Higashinoji naturally became confident.
But this thing is not something you can take out just by taking it.
Higashinoji also needs to sort out the specific plot carefully, otherwise he would take out "Hanzawa Naoki" and be killed by another publishing house... That would be really a joke.
"Before taking out "Unnatural Death", let me call editor Hosokawa to notify you."
Chapter completed!
