Chapter 205. I'll let you celebrate with champagne in the first half! (4000 words)
Not to mention the 'romantic love' that suddenly became popular, Sakamoto's life on the other side is not easy.
"Whew..."Looking at the statistical table in his hand about the fourth episode of Tsukasa Higashino's "Unnatural Death", Sakamoto, who was sitting on the edge of the work desk, couldn't stabilize his mind anymore, and directly threw out the statistical table and smashed it on the wall-
Damn! It really made "Unnatural Death" popular!
Looking at Sakamoto's angry and depraved posture, the manga assistants and manga apprentices in the same studio as him couldn't help but shrink their heads.
In fact, they have also noticed that Sakamoto has been drawing comics more and more recently, and the quality has not kept up with the first three words, and from time to time they will cover their faces, revealing a look of extreme pain, which makes them all feel that it is difficult for Sakamoto to enter menopause in advance from time to time.
Many comic assistants, and even some apprentices, want to quit and leave.
Because of this sudden attack... It's so terrifying, Sakamoto looks like an extremely sensitive psychopath...
Compared to the dull, depressing, and painful atmosphere here, the Urashima Publishing House on the other side is a completely different style of painting.
"Good!"
Boom!
Hosokawa Koharu, who got the statistics table of "Unnatural Death", slapped it on the table with a 'bang'.
This sound startled the editors on both sides, and they wanted to turn their heads to see if it was the one who didn't talk to make such a loud noise in the editorial office of "Bad Cold".
But when they turned to look at it, they found that it was Hosokawa Koharu, so they took back the words they were about to scold, and showed a strong expression of envy.
I really envy it.
Just watching the fourth episode of "Unnatural Death" is already a sure thing, and it is estimated that Ozawada will be able to drive down next week and really occupy the first position.
And at the head of all the comic book authors of the three major publishing houses... What does this mean?
This shows that Tsukasa Higashino's manga can be called a trend, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is "the best in Japan".
Not to mention that Tsukasa Higashino is completely different from "Midnight Bell" and "Lonely Gourmet" this time, and he is killed from this kind of battlefield like a meat grinder.
Hosokawa Koharu and Tsukasa Higashino, who can do this kind of thing... To exaggerate, even if she happily overturned her desk, the editor-in-chief of Urashima would not care about her.
After all, grades are everything.
Grades! Grades! If only there were results!
They were so envious that several editors immediately took out their mobile phones and called their comic book authors, feeling like they wanted to draw to death.
"Editor-in-Chief Urashima, you should have read the reader survey of the fourth episode of "Unnatural Death" this time, right?"
Hosokawa Koharu immediately walked to the desk of the editor-in-chief Urashima with an excited face: "We succeeded. ”
"Hmm... Oh, yes. The editor-in-chief of Urashima also smiled and nodded: "There are a lot of people in the club who have opinions about me, and this time Mr. Higashino's "Unnatural Death" The first episode of the grade, someone immediately began to put pressure on me... But luckily, Higashino-sensei did. ”
In Japan, no matter which club he works for, the factional disputes are actually quite serious, and the editor-in-chief of Urashima holds the rights and obligations of the editor-in-chief of the weekly "Bad Cold" and the monthly "Aoba".
Fortunately, Tsukasa Higashino is very good and can use his results to silence those who question Urashima's editor-in-chief's insistence on the serialization of "Unnatural Death".
"Then you can tell Higashino-sensei about the TV drama, right?" Hosokawa Koharu asked thoughtfully.
This is something that Higashino Tsukasa has never known, and his works "Lonely Gourmet" and "Winner is Justice" have actually been contacted by TV stations to inquire about the TV drama.
It should be available on television next quarter at the latest.
In fact, live-action comic TV dramas are not uncommon in the industry, such as the famous "Tokyo Love Story", "Spicy Teacher" and "I Am Big Brother" all have original comics.
"Don't worry, let's wait for this interview with Mr. Higashino and the fifth episode of "Unnatural Death" after the painting."
The editor-in-chief of Urashima thought for a moment and waved his hand.
Although the situation is very good now, it is far from being taken lightly, so it is safer to let Tsukasa Higashino finish the fifth episode of "Unnatural Death" steadily, and wait for the word-of-mouth to stabilize before informing him of the good news.
You must know that the only thing that really measures the reputation of a comic is the sale of a single book.
Historically, there have been works that have been soft-footed shrimp as soon as a single book is released, although the response to the reader survey is good.
His decision also won Hosokawa Koharu's approval.
This is the time to work hard, and you really can't take it lightly.
But I want to make Tsukasa Higashino take it lightly...
To be honest, Hosokawa Koharu still thinks it's unlikely.
......
"Got an interview?"
Tsukasa Higashino, who was drawing the original manuscript of the sixth episode of "Unnatural Death", stopped moving.
He wanted to reject Hosokawa Koharu.
After all, I still have the manuscript of "Unnatural Death" to draw, and I have to take time to participate in the interview activities.
Wait a minute!
As if thinking of something, Higashino Tsukasa lowered his head and flipped through his notebook, swallowed the words he wanted to say in a circle, and asked her, "Well, I know, when was that?" Hosokawa editor? ”
"It's probably this Saturday, it's just a show to be recorded, Mr. Higashino, if you don't have time, you don't need to..."
"There's time." Tsukasa Higashino closed his notebook and said happily, "I have time to participate in this interview. ”
Just kidding, can he answer that he doesn't have time?
If you don't have time, you have to spare a day to attend this interview.
Higashino's firm words made Hosokawa Koharu on the other end of the phone couldn't help but be stunned, and it seemed that he was still a little hesitant when he heard it just now... How did you become so resolute all of a sudden?
But Hosokawa Koharu still reacted and replied: "I know, then I'll pick up Higashino-sensei." ”
After she said this, she sighed a little, as an editor, she didn't fulfill her responsibilities as an editor, but she was dutiful as a driver... The mood is a bit complicated.
Out of this mentality, she still asked softly: "Mr. Higashino, are there any difficulties in creation?" The end of the fifth episode of "Unnatural Death" should be quite difficult, right? If you have any difficulties, you can share them with me, and I can analyze them for you. ”
"There's nothing difficult about it." Tsukasa Higashino replied with a smile: "The fifth episode of "Unnatural Death" has been drawn, and now I am drawing the sixth episode. ”
"I see," Hosokawa replied with a sense of grief in his voice.
Finishing the drawing in advance is already the normal operation of Tsukasa Higashino.
Even like to channel Koharu, so to speak, Tsukasa Higashino is good at everything, but it's just too good... It's too much better. It's too good to be tangled.
It always makes Hosokawa Koharu feel that he has no sense of existence, and he has been shocked there, not like an editor, but like a big salted egg, the kind who eats and doesn't do anything.
Hosokawa Koharu's answer made Higashino Tsukasa smile kindly, and then replied: "Please rest assured, if there are any creative difficulties, I will definitely tell the editor Hosokawa, and I hope that the editor can help him when the time comes." ”
"I see."
Hosokawa Koharu said hello again, and then hung up the phone, and at the same time a little sad - Higashino Tsukasa is always like this, the key is that he has never had a difficult time, so the number of times she 'helps' is equal to zero.
I don't know if there's a chance to help Tsukasa Higashino this time...
It still feels like it's hanging.
......
In fact, there was not much to say about this interview on Saturday.
Tsukasa Higashino basically paddled and replied to the host's question without a word.
And this state was not until Tsukasa Higashino heard Mr. Sakamoto of Mozuki Bookstore, and he braced up his body and began to discuss this middle-aged man with a smug face when the data of the first episode of "Unnatural Death" came out.
He first expressed a sentence of regret that Sakamoto's new comic data was tragically Waterloo.,Sakamoto's machine battle comic has completely failed to keep up due to his own lack of stable mentality.,The number of positive votes has plummeted.,There's no sense of scenery at all in the first word.。
Then Higashino Tsukasa sighed and said Actually, I've been reading this teacher's comics all the time.,His comics are really good.,That's how to say it... It's a bit of a problem.,Maybe it's because Mr. Sakamoto is old.,People are old.,The plot that comes up with it is indeed a little lacking in novelty.,Alas,It's all some plots that look at the past and have a sense of déjà vu...
Tsukasa Higashino also expressed his hope to see Sakamoto's new manga in the interview, and at the same time responded to Sakamoto's previous sarcasm about the first episode of "Unnatural Death" - I don't really care about Sakamoto's evaluation of me, and I also hope that Sakamoto will not care about my evaluation and continue to draw the manga he wants.
Naturally, the comic book review magazines of Rock Point Publishing House and Mozhu Bookstore, which have been pretending to be dead, were also pulled out and whipped.
It's just dragging it out and killing it indiscriminately! Tsukasa Higashino is completely crazy.
In the end, Tsukasa Higashino responded with a smile, I actually don't care much at all, thank you for these people's guidance and opinions on "Unnatural Death", which is very inspiring to me in creation, and allows me to further improve the plot behind "Unnatural Death".
If the front is dragged out and killed indiscriminately, then the latter sentence is simply murder.
And you hear this is what a man can say?
Because of our accusations, Tsukasa Higashino's manga is even more perfect...
What's the matter?
Meaning we've got you an assist too?
The editors of the manga review magazines under the two major publishing houses were so angry by Tsukasa Higashino's words that they almost vomited blood.
Sakamoto, who was the spearhead of Tsukasa Higashino, picked it up and smashed it into the TV screen.
At 0:2 at the end of the first half, the sequelae of opening champagne to celebrate without waiting for the end of the normal game appeared.
His dog's head was cut off by Tsukasa Higashino, and he was mercilessly mocked... It's nothing short of humiliating.
Sakamoto was angry.
But in anger, he really couldn't refute it.
Because Higashinoji's grades are better than him, he has no confidence to refute at all.
He could only hold this anger in his heart, and at the same time secretly sharpen his knife, hoping to overpower Higashino Division in the next single book sales.
Even if he knew that it was basically impossible to win against Tsukasa Higashino in the sales of a single book, this was the last glimmer of hope in his heart.
"What if... What if you win? What if my comics go viral? ”
Sakamoto muttered to himself, and the apprentice and the studio manga assistant next to him looked at each other in fear, not daring to look at him.
What should I do? How do you feel that Mr. Sakamoto's condition is getting worse and worse? It's going to be okay if you drag it out any longer, right? Do you want to call the psychiatric hospital first?
They made eye contact, becoming more and more concerned about Sakamoto's mental condition.
The rest is simple.
The fifth episode of Tsukasa Higashino's "Unnatural Death" was successfully released, and the number of readers' praise votes directly topped with 698 votes - and there is an upward trend!
It is conceivable that after "Midnight Bell" set a record of more than 700 votes, "Unnatural Death" seems to be about to refresh this record again.
Especially at the end of the fifth episode of the "Unnatural Death" manga, the scene where Mikoto Mitsumi Mitsumi flashed tears on the streets of Tokyo because of her broken love, and she moved forward in confusion even more poked the tears of many little girls.
Mikoto Mitsumi returned Koyashima to justice, but she also missed out on her best love.
It's distressing... Distressed.
So people were soon surprised to find that many girls began to invite each other to go out at night.
It's like the 'climbing terrier together' that was once all the rage in the Celestial Empire in the previous life, many girls follow this trend, and regardless of whether they are out of love or not, they begin to walk at night intentionally or unintentionally anyway...
This caused a sudden increase in the pressure on the police booths on duty in various parts of Tokyo.
They have the obligation to persuade women, especially underage women, not to wander outside at night, why are so many little girls walking around at night as if they have fallen out of love?
The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department also issued an urgent notice, hoping that all women can stay at home at night, do not go out at night, run around, and be sure to be accompanied if you want to go out.
To be honest, even Tsukasa Higashino didn't expect the popularity of "Unnatural Death" to reach this point.
Originally, he drew "Unnatural Death" just to see if professional manga could survive in the Japanese market... Unexpectedly, "Naoki Hanzawa" didn't try it, but "Unnatural Death" was a big hit.
But Higashino thinks about it in turn... It seems to be quite normal at this point.
Originally, the script of "Unnatural Death" was considered a first-class script in the original world.
Not only men like to watch it, but many women also like the depiction of the relationship between men and women in "Unnatural Death".
Combined, this is the current state of affairs.
And that's a good thing.
also made Tsukasa Higashino see the possibility of "Naoki Hanzawa".
Compared with "Naoki Hanzawa", which has no plan yet, another thing also attracted the attention of Tsukasa Higashino-
"Midnight Bell" has been finalized and is ready to be released.
