Chapter 247. True Genius (4000 words)
Chixia Yamagami is an apprentice artist at PW Animation Production, and basically has no experience in animation production, but after graduating from an ordinary Japanese short university, he officially won the opportunity to work at PW Animation Production Company by relying on his love for painting and his cleverness in doing things, and became a full-fledged original artist apprentice.
She was happy about this for a long time, after all, it was difficult to find a job position these years, and it was even more difficult to find a job she loved, plus she was only a third-rate art university graduate, and she was naturally disadvantaged in terms of academic qualifications, so it was pure luck to be able to pass the interview with PW Animation Production.
As a result, before she could be happy for two days, something happened that made her dumbfounded - PW Animation Production Company had a fire, and the entire company was on the verge of bankruptcy.
This is simply a catastrophe from heaven, and Qianxia on the mountain is almost so depressed that she doesn't vomit blood.
She is ready to pack up, try her luck with an animation production company, and find a way out.
As a result, before she could do anything, she was called by Ryuichi Yano, announcing that they didn't have to rush to find a home, and Tsukasa Higashino was willing to take over the mess of PW Animation Productions!
When Yamagami Qianxia heard the news, the whole person was stunned.
That's Tsukasa Higashino...
The author of the national phenomenon comic book is actually willing to take over the mess of the PW animation production company?
This news made her whole nose and face swollen, and she was caught off guard, and before she could react, another piece of news came that caught her off guard.
Tsukasa Higashino decided to continue working on "Winner is Justice".
Even the three apprentices had to join in the painting of the original painting.
You must know that apprentices like them are generally on the side to give a start to the official original artist, supplement the details of the original sketch drawn by the original artist, and study on the side for half a year or a year, so that they will officially become the original artist and take over the painting work.
But this time, Tsukasa Higashino actually asked them to go into battle with them to kill the enemy...
This made Yamagami Chixia only feel more stressed, and he didn't know how to start.
However, Chinatsu Yamagami is also smart enough to understand the reason for Tsukasa Higashino's actions - Higashino Studio is really short of manpower, and the production schedule of "Winner is Justice" is particularly tight, so that it is necessary to recruit apprentices like them with little work experience to fill the number.
"But can it really be done?" Thinking so, Yamagami Chixia secretly glanced sideways at the equally nervous apprentice sitting next to him, and felt a little bottomless in his heart.
They were waiting for Tsukasa Higashino to come over.
And Higashino Tsukasa himself has seen it just now, Chixia Yamagami, a young man with a beautiful face, and when he stands and talks to Yano Ryuichi, he has the feeling of a morning hero, and he looks very good-looking.
But bar... It's not that Chixia Yamano himself looks down on herself, but to put it nicely, the three of them are just simple wastes, not only because they can't do their painting work, but they may even add to their help.
After all, the three of them don't have that much work experience at all...
There were even two people who simply did not adapt to the urgent and oppressive atmosphere of the painting scene.
Although Tsukasa Higashino is a national-level comic author, he can't help but take it for granted at this point.
Chixia Yamagami sighed when she thought about it, feeling that she was most likely chosen by Tsukasa Higashino as a scapegoat this time.
belongs to the kind of "Winner is Justice" is not produced well, and Higashino Tsukasa can push the three of them out of the pot openly, after all, the three of them are the weakest group of people in terms of seniority, seniority, and age present, and there is no psychological pressure at all to take them out for sacrifice.
All kinds of conspiracy theories flashed through her mind, which was obviously too much of a bloody TV series.
At this time, the sound of Yano Ryuichi and Higashino Tsukasa pushing the door in the ears of Yamagami Chixia suddenly sounded.
This made her stand up directly with the other two, bowed respectfully, and exclaimed, "You have worked hard." β
After saying this, Yamagami Chixia was obviously different from the other two apprentices who were curious to look at Higashino Tsukasa himself, and he directly lowered his head, looking obedient and obedient without listening or looking.
Then Yamagami Chinatsu heard Yano Ryuichi's introduction: "Mr. Higashino, you see, these are some of the painter apprentices we recruited before, and the names and information are all here." β
"Hmm." Higashino Tsukasa swept over the mountain and Qianxia and the others, and nodded with satisfaction: "Yano-san, pick me a clever apprentice to give me a deputy." β
Assistant?
Isn't this the queen's back pot?
Unlike the other two apprentices who were visibly excited, Chinatsu Yamagami felt that this black cauldron was too dark, and was full of thoughts and only wanted not to mention her name.
But it can only be said that this year is not her lucky year, good things have not happened, and unlucky things are all available.
Yano Ryuyi smiled, didn't hesitate at all, and directly clicked to Yamakami Qianxia, who was lowering his head and 'chanting': "Yamasami-san, you should be Mr. Higashino's deputy." β
"I'd love to." Chinatsu Yamagami, who was named by name, raised her head and showed a 'bright' smile, the corners of her mouth twitching faintly in the dark.
There was a 1 in 4 chance that she would be drawn.
What else can I do?
Wouldn't it be okay to take the pot obediently?
Sensing the envious expressions of the other three apprentices, Yamagami Chixia was so depressed that she almost vomited blood.
These silly fools probably think that they can learn something by following Higashino Tsukasa.
But she knew that a busy person like Tsukasa Higashino had no time to guide her in drawing.
It is estimated that as soon as she enters the painting stage, Tsukasa Higashino will throw her there and use her as a tool man, and when an animation is made, Tsukasa Higashino can't remember her name - this is a common thing in other animation production companies.
But what's the use of being wronged? Tsukasa Higashino, the actual owner of the studio, has been named, and she still dares to express her objections?
She stood helplessly next to her and glanced sideways at Tsukasa Higashino - he was indeed quite handsome, but he was using himself as a tool, alas.
However, Higashino didn't care what Chinatsu Yamagami was thinking, and after sending Yano Ryuichi away, he simply announced to these apprentices: "First of all, I want to make my intentions clear, and everyone here will join me in the drawing of the original painting of "The Winner is Justice". β
Qianxia on the mountain couldn't help but bow her head again.
Tsukasa Higashino smiled happily, but he was really resolute in getting things done, and he didn't give any buffer time.
After listening to Higashino's words, the two apprentices showed hesitant expressions, and one of the boys couldn't help but raise his hand: "But Higashino-sensei, neither of us has actually participated in painting work, and when the time comes, it may be..."
In response to the boy's statement, Higashino just smiled: "It's just painting, you can draw with your hands, it's nothing more than a good or poor painting, everyone here is a person who has received a serious college painting education." I have a lot of confidence in you. β
This made the apprentices below lose their temper.
Because Tsukasa Higashino is telling the truth, painting is a thing that has to be done with hands.
Seeing that no one refuted, Tsukasa Higashino continued: "Don't deify the drawing of the original painting too much, in fact, I have also participated in the drawing of the original painting with little experience, and the difficulty can only be said to be average, if you have to say it, it is difficult to complete the number of original paintings that must be completed within the specified time." β
"What should we do?" The glasses boy standing next to Chixia on the mountain raised his hand and asked in a low voice.
Higashino replied with a smile: "I don't have too many requirements for you, I just hope you can let go of hand painting." For you, what is more important is the accumulation of experience. β
"Don't have any mental baggage. Whether it's ugly or inconsistent, you have to hand in your manuscript β I'll do it for you if there's anything you can't finish. β
As he spoke, Tsukasa Higashino tapped lightly on the table: "Only by accumulating experience can you become a skilled original artist, so I hope you don't be afraid to ask me any questions." β
Higashino Tsukasa was talking here, and the two apprentices over there were also listening carefully, but Chixia Yamagami listened a little unconcerned.
I think it's a clichΓ© from Tsukasa Higashino at most.
After all, if Tsukasa Higashino did what he said... Isn't that just a teacher for these three apprentices?
Higashino is a busy man, how can he have the time to take care of their apprentices?
Naturally, Yamagami Chixia would not say these words, but listened carefully to the side.
Wait until ten minutes later.
After Tsukasa Higashino finished speaking, he led a few people from Chixia Yamagami to the workbench.
At this time, Higashino Studio had already begun to operate in earnest.
Whether it is the original painting team or the supervision team, they have entered a state of first-level alert, no one talks or laughs, everyone lowers their heads, either painting, or discussing the details in the animation in a whisper, and occasionally there is a significant sound, that is, criticism from the supervisor.
This atmosphere made the apprentices who had just entered the society a little unbearable.
This is the first time they have participated in the original painting work, where have they ever seen such a serious occasion?
But Higashino smiled at them, signaling them not to be nervous, just sit back in their seats and try their best to draw the original drawing.
And Yamagami Chinatsu, the deputy, was arranged by Tsukasa Higashino to his seat, which can be regarded as the start of official work.
Although Chinatsu Yamagami questioned Tsukasa Higashino's arrangement, she still liked this industry after all, and while sitting next to Tsukasa Higashino and waiting for him to call, she was also painting seriously with her head down.
But what Chixia Yamagami didn't expect was... At the end of the day, Higashino didn't ask her to serve tea and pour water or sweep the floor and wipe the table.
This made Yamagami Chixia a little surprised, but he didn't dare to ask Higashino Tsukasa why, but he felt inexplicably... Tsukasa Higashino does seem to be different from others.
Tsukasa Higashino didn't care about her mood at all.
Not only "Winner is Justice", but the current "Unnatural Death" has just reached the closing stage of the sixth event (episode 6), and it must be carefully closed, otherwise it will affect the sales of the single volume of "Unnatural Death".
During this time, Yano Ryuichi introduced two other overseers to Tsukasa Higashino, Yoji Mikawa and Shinichi Kudo.
To be honest, when he heard the name Kudo Shinichi, Higashino Tsukasa was directly startled, and repeatedly confirmed that the other party was not the Kudo Shinichi in his impression, but just the same name and surname, which would not cause the tragedy of the death of elementary school students, Higashino Tsukasa was reluctantly relieved and greeted them enthusiastically.
And these two overseers were also a little relieved when they saw that Higashino Tsukasa was so easy to speak. After all, although Yano Ryuichi said it well, no one had ever seen the actual boss of Tsukasa Higashino with their own eyes, so he couldn't figure out his character, so he was naturally a little unstable.
Chixia Yamagami dealt with the requests made by Tsukasa Higashino from time to time, and observed silently for two days, before finally touching his head with a stunned face - could it be that he really miscalculated?
Higashino didn't call her as an angel, at most he asked her to show him the original paintings of the other two apprentices... It is a very ordinary original art inspection.
And Higashino Division's attitude is also very good, even if the apprentice handed in a particularly low-level original painting, Higashino Tsukasa just looked at it and laughed twice, and didn't scold directly like others.
Then let them keep working hard and don't care about momentary failure.
This made the other two apprentices a little embarrassed.
In addition, Higashino also corrected many details of their painting habits.
For example, the glasses apprentice doesn't know how to draw the appearance of the left side of the figure, and for example, the problem of messy lines in Chixia Yamagami...
Chixia Yamagami was a little speechless.
Because it was the first time she had seen this kind of person, she had been scolded a lot when she was interning before.
What surprised Chinatsu Yamagami the most was that Tsukasa Higashino was not only in charge of the original drawings of the three apprentices, but the original drawings of the artists of the entire original painting group had to go to Tsukasa Higashino to go through the original paintings, and if Tsukasa Higashino was really not satisfied, he would have to paint it himself...
The most terrifying thing is that the original painting drawn by Tsukasa Higashino is particularly excellent, and the characters are extremely vivid, and the use of lines alone can hang her to fight.
But the high quality of the original painting is nothing.
What makes Chinatsu Yamagami feel incredible the most... Tsukasa Higashino also draws very quickly.
Tsukasa Higashino maintains a high level of quality in each of his original paintings, and even finds time to teach them how to draw original paintings.
His two hands are as if they are not hands, like those high-precision laser scanners, and when he sweeps the original drawing, it is automatically printed on the A4 original paper.
Originally, Chixia Yamagami just kept silent, thinking that Tsukasa Higashino was messing around, and he took it for granted that he alone could not guide the three of them at the same time.
But I can draw and draw... Yamagami Chixia was stunned to find that they were not the only people who began to seek guidance, but even some of the official original artists in the original studio began to consult Tsukasa Higashino with the original paintings they had drawn.
The point is that Tsukasa Higashino can still handle it in an orderly manner...
She finally understood why Tsukasa Higashino was called a genius outside.
This speed of painting is related to the quality of painting... No matter what he did or what whimsical ideas he came up with, it made Yamagami Chixia take it for granted.
This man was born to draw! A true genius!
Similarly, Yano Ryuichi also saw all this in his eyes, and there was a faint agitation in his heart, feeling that the production of "Winner is Justice", which was originally hopeless, could really succeed.
It's just that the tasks assigned by Tsukasa Higashino are a bit too many recently.
The hair seems to be starting to fall out.
