Higashino Studio did not hide the production of "Spirited Away", but it did not deliberately disclose it to the media like Tokyo Animation.

Higashinoji just signaled Ryuichi Yano to publish a production announcement on the official website of Higashino Studio.

In Higashinoji's opinion, although advance publicity is important, the production cycle of "Spirited Away" will definitely be very long.

There is no need to warm up the publicity now.

First of all, Higashinoji doesn't want Higashino Studio to concentrate on producing "Spirited Away".

I don't want them to be sad and distract themselves for these publicity things.

Secondly, it is because Higashino Studio is not like Dukei Animation, with big assets behind it, knowing many characters and producing a theatrical animation can mobilize so many industry insiders.

The third point is that Higashinoji does not particularly want to collide with Tokyo Animation head-on.

This is not because he is afraid of the other party's problems, but because the other party just announced the production of a theatrical version, Higashino Studio directly announced the production of an animated movie...

No matter how you look at the people next to you, it seems that Higashino Studio wants to play in the arena with Tokyo Animation.

This is not very good.

"Spirited Away" is just an animated movie Higashinoji wants to make, and he has no idea of ​​fighting.

Therefore, Higashinoji decided that it would be safer not to mobilize the troops too much here.

However, Higashinoji obviously underestimated Higashino Studio, which just won the season championship and owns the topic of "Unnatural Death".

He didn't expect that the news announced on the official website attracted the attention of many animation enthusiasts-

Higashino Studio is also going to make animated movies!

And unlike the Dujing animation of the same period, what we want to produce is an original animated movie!

The news soon spread directly in domestic forums, and even some miscellaneous radio stations talked about this matter.

Everyone seemed very excited.

Because in their opinion, Higashino Studio expressed its opinion at this time...

Isn’t this just trying to find the Dokyo animation that just announced the production of the theatrical version of "June Hymn"?

This is a big excitement.

How could they not get together?

However, there are obviously not many people who dare to directly comment on Higashino Studio and Tokyo animation last time.

This may be the charm of "Unnatural Death".

In the past, people thought that a small workshop in Higashino Studio would definitely not beat Tokyo Animation.

But after "Unnatural Death" defeated "June Hymn" and won the season championship, the idea of ​​"absolutely unbeatable" has been shaken a little...

Maybe Higashino Studio can really come up with a good work again?

In short, these are all points worth looking forward to.

Of course, these rumors about the outside world that were stirring up the wind and rain also reached Higashinoji's ears.

This made him feel amused and laughed.

He deliberately announced the news on his official website but did not want to attract attention, but he was dug up directly.

Higashinoji is also very sober.

He knew that the reason why the matter of Tono Studio can spread so widely is mainly because it has gained the glory of Tokoi animation, which is not entirely due to the current reputation of Tono Studio.

After all...'The newcomer studio that produces two animations challenges the leading Japanese animation production company'...

This gimmick, as long as a writer who is engaged in entertainment news, probably wants to gain popularity - regardless of whether Dongye Studio has this meaning.

Anyway, no matter how they write, there is no problem.

Higashinoji shook his head.

It's useless to care about such things.

The outside world can think whatever it wants.

As long as there is no problem inside the Higashino Studio, just think whatever they want.

What Higashinoji should now focus on how to make the "national teaching stick" of "Spiritual Away" to the best state.

It is best to have a sharp thorn and throw it hard on the butt of a Japanese friend, which can make them grimaced.

Wake them from the ‘lost generation’.

Similarly, they must be convinced by "Spirited Away", give a thumbs up, and praise Higashinoji for his good and good beats, and beats them very well.

Judging from the eyes of Higashinoji's professional painter, Miyazaki's painting techniques are not difficult to imitate.

It's nothing more than hand-painted and watercolored coloring...

But the core of "Spirited Away" is more than that.

As the main script, Higashinoji also has the obligation to express this core on paper screens, thereby defining the theme style of the entire animated film.

It was given to Yano Ryuichi and the others that Yuya (Oil House) was just a draft and didn't even have the color. Of course, it could not fully express the style of "Spirited Away".

"Chianxun...Chianxun...if you forget your name, you can't go home..."

Higashinoji murmured to himself.

When he asked him to watch this animation...what is the deepest part of it?

He thought for a while, and finally tapped the tabletop gently.

"Maybe it was shocking."

Higashinoji touched his chin.

When I watched "Spirited Away" before, my first impression was shock.

As night falls, the bright red lights of the oil house shine with the falling night falls, and eight million Japanese gods arrive... Everything is shrouded in a light red light, lingering in a peaceful but weird atmosphere.

When watching the movie at Higashinoji Preschool, he also felt inexplicably shocked because of this scene.

But after experiencing the shock of childhood.

The adult Higashinoji watched "Sheng and Chiaki" several times...

The mood and feelings at this time are a little different.

It gives Higashinoji an indescribable, faint melancholy touching.

This is not because Higashinoji is pretentious, but because this work really gives him this feeling.

It’s like hearing an inspiring concert that makes people get out of their loss.

"Spirited Away" also has such power.

A wild imagination.

That kind of ethereal feeling of nothingness that is calm and light.

As for why it makes people feel melancholy and moved in the end?

That might be the thought expressed in "Spirited Away".

People always grow up. When facing the society of the big bathhouse "oil house" shrouded in black smoke and moisture, can they muster up the courage and not forget their original intentions like Chihiro?

But this is undoubtedly impossible.

Because as long as you are in society, people will be stained with black, taken away from their names, and turned into a symbol...

This contrast of seeking but not getting it may be the most important reason why people feel melancholy.

Similarly, it is also the most important basis for portraying the character Qianxun.

"I see."

Higashinoji breathed hard.

He wants to draw the impression of Chihiro.

It was a girl with a short ponytail, with slightly curled ponytail and broken bangs, which didn't look particularly good.

I will frown when I work hard.

When the eyebrows and eyes are stretched, they will give people a cheerful feeling.

When you are afraid, your whole face will change again.

After all, I am just a ten-year-old girl, a little girl that can be seen everywhere...

The red one is the work clothes of the hot spring waiter, the white one is the strap tied to her body, and the shining one is her eyes that are not too big but not too small...

Through those eyes, Higashinoji seemed to see himself in the world of gods.

The pungent smell of coal slag ash.

A magnificent oil house.

The water train that merges with the sea and sky and drives towards the sky...

The scenes in the fantasy world were born from the tip of the pen, and in an instant they disappeared like a meteor passing by.

Higashinoji shook his head, and his heart also jumped.

This system skill is really evil.

Even after using it for so long, I will still be attracted to it when I am truly focused on it.

But thanks to this...

Higashinoji breathed a long sigh, looking at the character setting of "Spirited Away" that was neatly drawn in front of him, and even the settings of some buildings, and nodded slightly.

As mentioned earlier, Higashinoji does not have the ability to "copy" it on paper by recording it once and then repeating it.

The image of Chihiro he drew may be somewhat different from that of Hayao Miyazaki in his previous life.

But even so, he had painted it seriously and carefully guessed the character's psychology.

Higashinoji breathed a sigh of relief and was about to organize the drawings on the desktop.

Then... he heard the voices of Seo Daigo and Yano Ryuichi next to him.

"Teacher Higashino...Is this the draft you drew?"

Isn't this too fast?

Although it means you want to hand over the character setting to Teacher Higashino...but you are too fast, right?

It took one day to figure it out?

You can't ride a rocket so fast, right?

Seo Daigo muttered in his heart, Yano Ryuichi next to him leaned over and asked curiously: "Can I pick it up and take a look? Teacher Higashino."

"Please." Higashinoji reached out and signaled him to be at will.

The first drawing on the desktop was drawn as a girl.

Yano Ryuichi looked over carefully.

This girl is not like the heroine of Japanese animation today. Her eyes can occupy one-third of her entire face and her chin can poke people to death.

Even her look is not as beautiful as her.

She was wearing a red hunting suit, with not long eyebrows and broken bangs on her forehead, so she should be quite cute when she smiled.

Although she was tied with a single ponytail, it can be seen from her unhappy expression that she should not be considered a lively child.

Just looking at this look... it seems that there is no highlight, it is also very ordinary.

This made Yano Ryuichi couldn't help but grab his hair: "Teacher Higashino, this character is..."

"The heroine, Chihiro Ogino."

"Ah? The heroine?"

Yano Ryu was stunned for a while, then said in a daze: "But... why does this protagonist look so ordinary?"

As we all know, the characters in the animation are not particularly good-looking, but at least they must be very distinctive.

For example, messy hair colors, such as blue hair, pink hair, yellow hair, purple hair, and gray hair... I wish I could come to a zoo.

But the heroine of Higashinoji's painting Ogino Chihiro...

It's simply no characteristics!

If Higashinoji hadn't said he was the protagonist, he would have thought that this was a passerby character, and at most he had some scenes, so he gave him a name.

After all, this is an animated movie.

Even if the heroine's setting is an "ordinary girl", it must be drawn better than other characters.

Listening to Yano Ryuichi's question, Higashinoji just smiled and explained: "It's better to be ordinary, I just want to draw an ordinary heroine."

Yes.

It's better to be ordinary.

"Spirited Away" does not rely on the character's appearance as the selling point, but on the core of the story as the main selling point.

Chihiro Okino’s ‘ordinary’ is not just her ordinary character, but because the general public’s universality can be reflected through Chihiro Okino’s ordinary appearance...

Yes, in real life, who is not ordinary?

It is precisely because of Chihiro Ogino that they can feel more immersive about Chihiro’s story.

That's why Higashinoji wants Chihiro Ogino to be more ordinary.

Judging from Seo Dago and his reaction, he should have been considered successful.

"So that's what it is..."

Yano Ryu nodded as he heard this.

Higashinoji said it very reasonably, and the things he drew were perfectly in line with his ideas.

only...

Can such an ordinary protagonist really have highlights?

Can it attract others?

Yano Ryuichi was not so optimistic about this.

He put the original manuscript of Ogino Chihiro's character on the other side, and To Seo Daigo carefully looked at the settings of several other people.

Bai, Mom-soon, Faceless Man... and Boiler Grandpa and other characters...

One by one, the characters with fantasy and weirdness are vividly portrayed.

It was obviously just staring at the flat paper, but it gave Yano Ryuichi and Seo Daigo a sense of "three-dimensionality".

This feeling is wonderful.

It was as if you could see these characters laughing and scolding.

Yano Ryuichi just took a rough look.

I couldn't help but sigh.

I have to say that Higashinoji is worthy of being known as the "comic genius who is rare in a thousand years". This painting and the quality of the final draft... Even if Yano Ryuichi scans all over Japan, he can compare with the other party, and he can probably count it with one hand.

Not to mention Higashinoji is so young.

This is too much!

But...the talent of Higashinoji is not only strong envy.

I really have no other ideas.

Because even jealous of the other party, it is a little jealous.

After all, Higashinoji works hard enough in Higashino Studio on weekdays.

Seo Daigo also has the same expression.

He felt that Higashinoji did not know how to clone his body.

If Higashinoji had a clone, he would probably be able to tinker with "Sheng and Chiaki" in one month.

This is too perverted...

The two of them sighed over there.

Higashinoji simply asked: "There should be no problem with these characters."

"Well, I don't think it's a big problem now... but I still hope that Teacher Higashino can consider it a little more."

Yano Ryuichi still didn't give up on his idea of ​​persuading Higashiji: "I don't say that the painting is too good, but it doesn't have to be so ordinary."

"Haha, it's just ordinary."

Higashinoji did not continue to explain this issue.

Just kidding!

If you really make a classic animated character like Chihiro a pink one, or have a big eyes on Kazilan... I don't talk about how people in later generations will criticize themselves.
Chapter completed!
