Chapter 241. I got zero marks in the test, but I am afraid of being scolded by Higashinoji (4000 wor(1/2)
Higashinoji's "The Lonely Foodie" has been serialized for a year and a half in the monthly "Akiba" magazine of "The Cold" and is the longest comic that Higashinoji has ever serialized so far. Hosokawa Koharu was a little surprised - she originally thought Higashinoji's "The Lonely Foodie" would be completed in just a dozen episodes like "Midnight Bell".
Of course, it goes without saying that the results are all the sales volumes of "The Lonely Foodie" have long exceeded one million. They stayed at the top of the "Qingye" readers' survey for many years. They feel like they can't beat the rain or the wind cannot blow it. They belong to the evergreen type of comics.
It is usually regarded as a "late night reading (poison)" among readers and fans. When you are a little hungry in your room at night but are too lazy to cook, just watch "Lonely Foodie". You can get so hungry that you are dizzy and have to find something to eat.
But to be honest, "The Lonely Foodie" is not easy to animation. After all, overall, "The Lonely Foodie" is similar to a semi-travel form. It feels too light when it is made into an animation. It does not have the confidence to produce the toxicity and taste that Higashinoji painted. So this time, Fuji TV came to the door and took the initiative to win "The Lonely Foodie" and wanted to make it into a low-cost late-night drama.
"When "The Lonely Foodie" started, our editorial department actually came to have dinner with the food pavilion... but I haven't been here for so long... I didn't expect that the business here would be so good."
Hosokawa Koharu looked back at Kazuki Takay behind him and joked: "It's the credit of Teacher Higashino's "Lonely Foodie."
"The Lonely Foodie may have played some role in promoting the situation, but to keep the guests, it still depends on the skills of the owner of the Kazuki shop." Higashinoji said to Hosokawa Koharu with a smile, and did not take the other party's teasing seriously.
The atmosphere of the Heshi Pavilion is good, the small restaurant in the street corner is also very clean, with no odor, and the food made is also very good, so it is of course for someone to buy it.
"By the way, Teacher Higashino, you asked me to help postpone the matter on the claimant of the PW animation production company. I have done it. The attitude there is quite polite, but it is best not to delay it for too long."
As they were about to part, Hosokawa Koharu suddenly said this to Higashinoji.
The inability of PW animation production company to submit "The Winner Is Justice" on time is considered a breach of contract. If Higashinoshi had not asked her to help stop her in advance, it would have been estimated that the large-scale claim would have been completed.
But to be honest, Hosokawa Koharu didn't know why Higashinoji wanted to help stop him... Could it be that he thought PW animation production company could still complete the agreement? This is basically impossible.
"The Winner Is Justice" was originally scheduled to be released in October, and it will start production in April this year, and it was announced to be animated in May. Now it has been burned out for two months... It is basically impossible for PW animation production company to complete "The Winner Is Justice" according to the original plan - it will take at least half a month to clean up the endgame of PW animation production company.
Therefore, time can be said to be very urgent. Even if the PW animation production company finally took out the work "The Winner is Justice"... the final quality of the finished product will probably be surprising.
So Hosokawa Koharu doesn't quite understand why Higashinoji took the initiative to delay the claim for a few days.
It can't be that Higashinoji wants to take over this mess, right?
But to be honest, Hosokawa Koharu felt that even if Higashinoji personally helped, it would be difficult to end the mess of "The Winner Is Justice".
This is not because it is not that he is not confident about Higashiji, but because it is too difficult to change something with one person's strength...
Even if Higashinoji's strength can draw the original paintings by one person, then he can't return to the original paintings by one person, right?
Do you really treat Higashinoji as a god?
"Thank you for your help from Editor Hosokawa, but I still have some things to deal with at PW animation production company. Please rest assured that you will not delay your work."
"This is the best." Hosokawa Koharu nodded, and Higashinoji's words were a little relieved: "Teacher Higashino, you have already done your best to PW animation production company, and you don't have to do anything more... After all, this company doesn't have much to do with you."
After hearing what Hosokawa Koharu said, Higashinoji just smiled happily. Hosokawa Koharu didn't know that he had actually reached out to PW animation production company.
After the two parted, Higashinoji quickly returned home and began to read questions about the production of "The Winner Is Justice".
Although "Although There is nothing in our hands" was used as the foundation, most of the people who abused them restrained themselves. However, many people still expressed pessimism about the production of "The Winner Is Justice" and felt that this work should not be seen this year.
There is no way, the construction period is too much behind. The animations of the same period have basically been completed for 30 to 40%. "The Winner Is Justice" has burned to zero. Such a big gap is difficult to fill even if it is currently recognized as the top three in the industry.
There is another particularly pessimistic magazine called Suzuki Zaidan and quips: If "The Winner Is Justice" can eventually be released on TV on time, then all the men in their magazine department will shaved their heads and all the editors will shaved their heads - this seems to be a very famous meme in their magazine, because their editor-in-chief is bald, so many editors will make this joke.
Of course, this is not an ordinary joke. I made this joke some time ago about whether "Unnatural Death" could exceed two million volumes of sales. As a result, a group of editors of "Suzuki Chat" shaved their heads.
Now that a month or two has passed, their hair has grown a lot, so they joked about "The Winner is Justice" and felt that it was impossible to fall again in Higashinoji.
Higashinoji just took a look and thought that the editorial department of this magazine was quite pleasant, which was too optimistic.
But he lowered his head and couldn't help but ponder, and began to think about the specific production of "The Winner Is Justice".
After all, if he wins the PW animation production company, his comic "The Winner Is Justice" will be the first difficulty he has to face.
This is not about compensation and other things - in fact, Higashinoshi doesn't care much about money. He is not interested in money and thinks it's enough.
Compared to the compensation, Higashinoji actually cares more about whether "The Winner Is Justice" can be released on time.
He recalled the original painting he saw at Daguan's house, combined with his own situation, and after a little thought, he felt that there was still a chance.
The original painting rescued by Daguan Yongren is probably the weight of one or two episodes of "The Winner Is Justice".
There are four months left for the rest of the time. As long as the employees of PW animation production company are integrated and the production of "Winner is Justice" is very likely to be completed.
And there is also the original author of Higashinoji... This advantage can be said to be expanded again.
Higashinoji nodded as he thought about it, feeling that there was no problem.
"Then we have to look at Ryuichi Yano's statement."
Yes.
Yano Ryuichi is the second-in-command in PW production company second only to Yuto Daikan. With his statement, Higashinoji will easily officially take over PW animation production company.
This is a benefit of a small company, so you don’t have to worry about factional disputes at all.
As for time.
Higashinoji gave Yano Ryuki a five-day consideration, which was the time when he finished filming the easter eggs in the next two or three minutes of "The Lonely Foodie".
He shook his head and put these things behind his head for the time being.
......
The next day, Higashinoji received a call from the crew of "Lonely Foodie". They were actually very surprised that Higashinoji accepted the filming invitation. After all, in their opinion, Higashinoji has always been a busy person. Whether it is "Unnatural Death" or other copyright peripheral plans, he needs to be present...
And they invited Higashinoji to come over, but in fact, some people wanted to take advantage of Higashinoji's own popularity. In this case, Higashinoji should not make time to accept their late-night crew filming.
Who would have thought that the great god Higashinoji really took time out.
Although this is not enough to make the directors and actors excited, it is enough to make them feel inspired.
As soon as Shi Higashino joined the crew, he was warmly entertained, and the director gave a tea and explained it himself... It can be said that he was treated as an emperor.
Higashinoji also met the middle-aged uncle who played Inoko Goro.
The other party is still different from Matsushigetsu in his previous life, but with the treatment of the makeup artist, the difference between him and the "Fifth Uncle" in Higashinoji's impression is not very big.
As soon as the other party saw Hitomiji, he walked up to shake hands on his own initiative. At the same time, he took out a small notebook, hoping that Hitomiji could sign an autograph. His son has always been a fan of Hitomiji.
Higashinoji naturally agreed with a smile, took the pen over and signed the name.
"The entire shooting plan will not waste too much time on you, Mr. Tono. We will take two to three locations to shoot in outdoor restaurants a day." The middle-aged director named Takami said.
"Do you have two to three places? What should I do? For example, are there any lines required?" Higashino nodded after thinking for a while.
"Taiwano has no line requirements." Director Takami smiled kindly: "It was originally an ending easter egg. What the audience wants to watch is that Teacher Higashino remains in a natural state. Don't talk about sensitive topics, just evaluate those foods."
He said as he looked at Higashinoji, and after a while he sighed in his heart.
Higashinoji has a good foundation, she looks pretty and beautiful, but she doesn't feel like many morning drama male protagonists, and she has an inexplicable femininity.
This kind of comic author is more eye-catching than some semi-bare middle-aged uncle authors.
Don’t look at many viewers who say they don’t look at their faces, at that time, they have to have more requirements for appearance.
Director Takami was very satisfied with Higashinoji and took Higashinoji to shoot the easter eggs at night.
It’s okay to order Higashinoji, and it doesn’t matter if you can’t finish it. It can be considered a free meal.
Anyway, the easter eggs are just a formality, and it doesn’t matter if Higashinoji just takes a few bites and puts them down.
However, Higashinoji was not at that bad point, unless it was requested by the director, except for the director, he basically ordered one or two dishes, and he couldn't eat them anymore. When the shooting was over, he could just ask the photographer to enjoy them together.
This process is not too fast, but it is not too slow either.
After all, the crew of "The Lonely Foodie" still has a shooting plan, but Higashinoji is here now, so they just prepare the ending eggs in advance.
I have to say that although the food is delicious, Higashinoji still couldn't stand it in the end - it was delicious, but if you kept eating it... you would definitely not be able to stand it.
I really don’t know how those big eaters in my previous life ate...
It seems that those who just sit there and eat are not easy to eat.
Higashinoji shook his head and quickly rushed to the next shooting location amid the greetings of director Takami.
And at the same time...
“Put down the PW animation production company?”
When Ryuichi Yano proposed this idea, all the employees of PW animation production company who could call it up were stunned, and they were very surprised by Ryuichi Yano's decision.
Someone raised questions: "But now that even if we put down the PW animation production company, the employees of the animation production company outside are almost saturated... We shouldn't be able to get work if we go to other places."
The Japanese animation production industry is so big, everyone looks up and sees it. The employees of the PW animation production company present are also very clear about how they will live if they leave the PW animation production company?
The most important thing is...
Giving up PW animation production company... I really give up "The Winner is Justice"...
Why have they been able to survive until now and have not announced the news that the production of "The Winner is Justice" has been postponed? It is just that they want to make this work that they have worked hard...
Did you give up if you said you gave up?
In response to this, Ryuichi Yano also spoke in a targeted manner: "Teacher Higashino is willing to take over the PW animation production company to set up a studio with our team. Don't worry about your future path."
Teacher Higashino is willing to take over...
This made many employees feel energetic.
They were really helped by Higashinoji again and again. If so, they didn't have to worry about whether they were unemployed.
Most of his heart was relieved at once, and then someone raised his hand and asked in a low voice: "Does Mr. Higashino have the intention to take over the production of "The Victor is Justice"?"
"Of course there is." Yano Ryuichi smiled confidently, as if he had known that someone would ask this question: "This is Mr. Higashino's own work."
