Chapter 321. Chihaya Higashino thinks he can (8000 words)
The atmosphere in the editorial department was a little nervous.
Even Koharu Hosokawa felt particularly nervous.
She has been working with Higashinoji for two years.
So she always knew that Higashinoji had very high requirements for her works.
But this requirement is too high.
She originally thought she could see Higashiji nodding happily, but she didn't expect that he was looking at the form in his hand seriously with a serious face.
Hosokawa Koharu is a little confused.
Several Fuji Publishing House editors who had been observing were also stunned and looked at each other, and they all felt incredible.
Higashinoji is not satisfied with such good results?
I was a little unwilling to think that I was randomly crushed by Higashinoji's works when I was at Fuji Publishing House.
But seeing Higashinoji's strict self-disciplined attitude, they all felt that it seemed normal to be crushed.
After all, they have already achieved this kind of results. If they were at Fuji Publishing House, they would have started to jump up and drive champagne.
"It's worthy of Higashinoji that he feels that everything he lost to him before can be accepted."
An editor next to him couldn't help but speak.
"Yes, I'm not satisfied with this kind of grades and how good is he to be satisfied?"
Another Fuji Publishing House editor who also looked at Higashinoji's expression sighed.
You can't admit defeat.
Others are more talented than you and work harder than you, and they have strict requirements on their own works, so it is normal to just fight.
Just as they were thinking like this, Hosokawa Koharu, who was staying next to Higashinoji, finally spoke up: "Teacher Higashino, don't you say anything?"
"Hmm?" Higashinoji, who was staring at the form and thinking, suddenly relaxed his eyebrows, and then raised his head and looked around.
He suddenly noticed that the atmosphere around him seemed to be something wrong, so he immediately smiled and said:
"Well, this result was beyond my expectations, so I was a little surprised. I hope the editors don't care."
Higashinoji also knew that he always had the habit of frowning when doing serious things, but this kind of small habit was difficult to change, so he just let it go.
As soon as Shi Higashinoji said this, all the editors below breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere of the editorial department, which was originally quite tense, instantly relaxed.
It was said that he changed the atmosphere of the entire editorial department alone.
"Editor Hosokawa, thank you for showing me the form now I have a clear idea."
Higashinoji smiled and handed the form in his hand to Hosokawa Koharu.
Before, he was wondering if there would be any problems with his comic version of "Hanzawa Naoki", but now with actual data support, he said that there was no problem at all, so he could continue to draw according to this method.
I still have to ask Chihaki Higashino and Ryoka Koume to play the role of Asano Branch President and Naoki Hansawa, which has a realistic scene comparison, so the things I draw are more handy.
Of course, it goes without saying that Konohachi is a little difficult one.
But it is actually not a difficult point.
Higashinoji probably would have been happy to help Higashino Chihaya if she bought some of her favorite plush toys. Higashino Chihaya has always liked these gadgets.
As for whether Shi Higashino is heartbroken?
To be honest, the pain is a bit painful.
But Chihaki Higashino would definitely hum twice in the end and forgive him.
So there is no need to worry about this aspect.
While thinking about it, Higashinoji greeted Hosokawa Koharu: "Editor Hosokawa, since the matter has been completed, I will leave first."
"Hey? Teacher Higashino might as well stay? Today our editorial department of the publishing house held a dinner, which was just right to celebrate."
Hosokawa Koharu persuaded him a little.
"Hold a meal?" Higashinoji was stunned.
When he came here just now, the editorial department of Tokushima Publishing House was lifeless, which was in a strong contrast with the editorial department of the comics department here.
Isn’t holding a meal stabbing the editor of the literature department in the knife?
As if he saw Higashinoji's idea, Hosokawa Koharu immediately explained with a smile: "This time the meal is only our comics department. The market share in the literature department has been squeezed so recently that it has been criticized by big figures of the directors and the officials, so they are not allowed to go out for dinner."
"So that's it." Higashinoji nodded and refused: "But I still don't need it anymore. I have the next storyboard draft to draw when I go home, so that's it."
He does have a storyboard draft for "Hansawa Naoki".
Although I have already made the draft of the first three chapters, it is still not safe. Only after five chapters can Higashinoji barely feel relieved.
"Is that true?" Hosokawa Koharu nodded in contemplation: "Since that's the case, I understand. Please leave with Teacher Higashino."
She raised her hand and was about to give Higashinoji, but before she could lift her hand, she was interrupted by the editor-in-chief Urashima who came from the other side: "Teacher Higashino, you're here just right."
"Is there anything wrong? Editor-in-chief of Urashima?"
The editor-in-chief Urajima was so busy that Higashinoji could see at a glance that the other party was coming for him and asked immediately.
"Is there really something that needs to be discussed with you to come to my office?"
Editor-in-chief Urajima pointed to the small room on the other side.
Generally speaking, Urajima always deals with ordinary work with editors outside. Only when dealing with slightly private work will it be solved in the office.
It seems that this is not easy to say in front of Hosokawa Koharu and the others.
Higashinoji nodded and followed the editor-in-chief Urashima to his office.
As soon as he entered the office of Urashima Editor-in-Chief, Higashinoji was pulled down by the other party.
"Teacher Higashino, I would like to ask, do you have the idea of serializing fifty pages a week in "Hashi"?"
"Fifty pages serialized?"
Higashinoji couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise when he heard this number.
Generally speaking, the number of comic pages serialized in weekly comic magazines will not exceed twenty-five pages in a single episode. If this number exceeds, the editor will let you delete it.
Higashinoji's "Hanzawa Naoki" was just the first chapter of the new comic, so he gave fifty or sixty pages of content.
Therefore, the second chapter of "Hanzawa Naoki" will become a standard number of pages of twenty-five or twenty-three.
But now the editor-in-chief Urajima seems to give him the privilege of serializing fifty pages in comic magazines.
This is really a privilege.
No one can enjoy this kind of treatment in the weekly comics.
With Higashinoji's expression of a little surprised.
Urajima Editor-in-Chief said the reason slowly: "Teacher Higashino, I have watched your "Hanzawa Naoki". It is indeed an excellent work. As our company's current main work, it is very reasonable to give you this privilege."
The main work?
Listening to the hint in the speech of Urashima Editor-in-Chief, Higashinoji pinched his chin and felt a sudden realization.
There are not many comics in "Kaisei" that can compete with "Chyo". Even the comic series of Akisa Kuromiya and Yu Suzuki are only seven or eight years old.
And the other party has an old author who has had 20 or even 30 years of serialization experience on "Chianyo".
Compared with them, although Kuromiya Akisa and Suzuki Ha are very talented, they still lack something.
So "Waise" can only put all the treasures on Higashinoji's "Hanzawa Naoki".
Fifty pages a week are the weight of serialization of two comic works!
There is no doubt that this is a hard task.
But at the same time, the benefits it brings to Higashinoji are also huge, so he can tell the story of "Hanzawa Naoki" without restraint.
Why did Higashinoji make so much preparations to draw "Hanzawa Naoki" before?
This is because the original plot of the Japanese drama "Hanzawa Naoki" is longer than many other Japanese dramas.
A very simple comparison.
Each episode of "Unnatural Death" is about forty-three minutes long, and the opening song is about forty-two minutes per episode.
But "Hanzawa Naoki" is different.
In order to tell a good story, the first episode of "Hanzawa Naoki" reached a terrifying ninety-three minutes, and there was no opening song yet.
It can be said that this Japanese drama really spends all its time talking about the plot.
Among them, there are even more people appearing.
So Higashinoji made so much preparations to maximize the storyline of "Hanzawa Naoki" in the limited number of pages of the manga.
This is also impossible. Comics are always comics, which are different from Japanese dramas.
The number of pages of 25 pages specified in the comic series limits Higashinoji's performance.
And if he is given the privilege of fifty pages per week
Higashinoji can draw "Hanzawa Naoki" better!
So Higashinoji had to consider the tempting request of Urashima Editor-in-Chief.
Should I win fifty pages or not?
He thought for a long time, but finally nodded.
"I understand. Since that's the case, then give me the privilege of fifty pages of serialization."
Higashinoji spoke directly.
There is nothing to hesitate about.
Before being a comic book writer, he was first a professional painter.
As a professional painter, the most priority should be to paint his works to the best state.
Twenty-five pages are like a small canvas, which can only be said to be just enough and cannot fully display his level.
But fifty pages seem to give him a free wall, allowing him to draw the most perfect work on it.
Even if Higashinoji is a professional painter, there is no reason to refuse this condition!
The editor-in-chief Urajima, who was sitting opposite Higashinoji, heard the other party agreeing and was relieved.
It's not okay to breathe a sigh of relief.
Higashinoji's "Hanzawa Naoki" is indeed the best manga in "Kaisei". It gives him a relaxation of privilege not only for "Kaisei Naoki", but also for the comic magazine "Kaisei".
Similarly, this privilege is of course not just his opinion, but also means after the vote of the upper-level meeting.
Should I say that I am a member of the Old Fuji and Ohurashima Publishing House?
This kind of vote is very decisive, fully demonstrating the courage to doubt people and not doubt people.
Higashinoji is the author who was selected by them.
Just as the editor-in-chief Urajima was thinking, Higashinoji had already stood up and took the initiative to say hello.
"Since that's the case, I'll finish the storyboard draft as soon as possible, editor-in-chief Urajima."
Originally, he had already made the storyboard draft for the first three chapters, but that was the storyboard draft serialized on twenty-five pages.
Now that he has changed to fifty pages of weekly serialization, he certainly has to work harder.
"Okay, then I'll ask you, Mr. Higashino. By the way, since it has been replaced with fifty pages of serialization, then the second episode of "Hanzawa Naoki" can actually start selling single-line books."
Urajima Editor-in-Chief did not forget to tell him what happened next before Higashinoji left.
Yes.
An ordinary twenty-five-page comic requires five or four chapters to produce a single-line book.
But Higashinoji's "Hanzawa Naoki" is different. He has more than fifty pages in one episode, and he only needs two episodes to publish a single-line version.
"I understand." Higashinoji nodded, turned around and pushed the door and left.
While leaving Toshima Publishing House, he did not stop thinking.
The plot of "Hanzawa Naoki" is very plump.
There are even some villains and colleagues involved in it.
So even if it is fifty pages, Higashinoji plans to use 4 chapters of manga to tell the structure of the Japanese drama "Hanzawa Naoki".
This should be able to consider all the details clearly and the plot is not slow.
"That's it."
Higashinoji remembered this idea and walked towards his own home.
The days ahead will be much simpler.
Higashinoji began to paint "Hanzawa Naoki" according to his own thoughts.
The fifty pages given by Urashima editor-in-chief is indeed very useful. Many plots that Higashinoji deleted on the twenty-five pages (for example, the heartwarming small clips of Hansawa Hansawa Naoki) can be displayed in these fifty pages of serialization.
This time when Higashinoji painted was also a nightmare for Takahashi Yumi, Fujiwara Aoi, Konoe Ryoka.
Especially the rivalry between Hansawa Hansawa Naoki.
Higashinoji asked Takahashi Yumi to replace Komaki Ryokai as Hansawa Naoki to compete with her good Hime Fujiwara Aoi.
As a result, these two guys didn't feel anything at all.
Yumi Takahashi even pinched her chin and looked at Fujiwara Aoi and muttered in a low voice: "Hanzawa is not that short in the original plot."
Fujiwara Aoi, who played Hanzawa, was so angry that she jumped up and kicked her on the butt.
‘Hansawa Naoki’ Takahashi Yumi immediately panicked and shouted directly, “Hansawa is so gentle that he will not hit people!”
"But I'm not Hanzehua! You stupid pig!"
Fujiwara Aoi kicked it up again, covering Takahashi Yumi's butt with a crying and howling.
Looking at the "Hansawa Naoki" who were fighting together on the sofa and her wife "Hansawa Hansawa Hansawa", Higashinoji was so amused and crying.
In the end, he had to go on the battlefield in person and had a boyfriend-girlfriend-related interaction with Konowa Lianghua to complete the simulation.
I have to say that at the end of the acting, Konoha Lianghua obviously took it seriously.
His fair face turned red, and Chiba Higashino next to him made him pout.
To be honest.
Chapter completed!
