Chapter 261. Land Selection (8000 words)
The three girls who bumped into Higashino Tsukasa were obviously panicked, especially Ryoka Konoe, she didn't expect Higashino Tsukasa to leave work early today, and she was completely caught off guard, so she covered her face with her hands and tried to numb herself, thinking that Higashino Tsukasa probably didn't know herself.
Then her hand was taken by Higashino Tsukasa: "What are you doing?" Cool flowers? ”
Seeing the failure of the surprise battle, Yumi Takahashi did not hesitate, and directly chose to be a second and fifth boy: "I know!" Higashino-sensei! I found out that Lianghua and Aoi had been going around strangely recently, so I followed the two of them all the way, and finally found that the two of them were parked under Higashino's studio... The rest has nothing to do with me! ”
Yumi Takahashi shook the pot cleanly, and Aoi Fujiwara on the other side was so angry that she glared at her fiercely - it was obviously Ryoka Konoe who came to find Tsukasa Higashino, and she and Yumi Takahashi were in the same group, but this thing also slandered herself.
For this 'good' best friend, she was indeed so angry that she couldn't speak. You can only open your mouth and close it at the end.
And Konoe Lianghua was sandwiched by two people, shrunken and looked around, quite a feeling of 'as long as I don't look at Ace, Ace can't see me'.
In response, Higashino just reached out and pinched the soft flesh on both sides of her cheeks, and then pulled away-
"Pain, pain... It hurts, Ace..."Konoe Ryoka turned her head and said inarticulately.
"What are you guys doing here?" Higashino Tsukasa couldn't cry or laugh a little, let go of his hand, looked at Ryoka Konoe, whose cheeks were pinched red on both sides, and her two best friends, and simply asked.
"I'm here to visit Ace."
The first to confess was Ryoka Konoe, and she simply gave up her resistance.
Seeing this, Yumi Takahashi and Aoi Fujiwara could only tell the reason for the incident - they came from Ryoka Konoe.
This made Tsukasa Higashino, who thought they were coming to visit him, couldn't help but smile and shake his head, these little girls are really...
"How? You've come here, do you want to go up and visit? Tsukasa Higashino gestured upstairs and asked if they wanted to go to Higashino's studio to have a look.
Hearing this, Yumi Takahashi showed a strong desire to visit, compared to Ryoka Konoe and Aoi Fujiwara, who are real avid fans of manga, and she is certainly interested in having the opportunity to see the animation production process.
However, Higashino's next sentence dispelled her thoughts: ""The Winner is Justice" is basically completed, and now Higashino Studio is temporarily unmanned, if you don't want to visit?" We can just leave. ”
Say this? Yumi Takahashi naturally put away her thoughts about visiting.
Without the original artist, special effects artist, and sound engineer, Higashino's studio is just a room with computers and drawing tools... There is no need to visit at all...
"Let's wait for someone to visit next time... It won't bother Higashino-sensei, right? ”
Yumi Takahashi said with a deep groan.
"No, it won't." Tsukasa Higashino replied with a smile: "The atmosphere at the scene is very tense when it is actually made, and they are too busy to take care of themselves?" There's no time for you. When the time comes, if you want to come, call me and let me know. ”
After he promised that, he took a few girls downstairs? I'm going to just go home.
It's just that Higashino didn't expect that the scene of him walking out with three high school girls was seen by Chixia Yamagami.
Honestly? Qianxia on the mountain was stunned.
It turns out that Higashino-sensei likes high school students... No, isn't that right? Higashino-sensei was originally a high school student? It's normal to like high school students... The most important thing is... How can there be three?
You must know that Hasegawa Riko was also interested in Mr. Higashino before.,Mr. Higashino's too, it's too much love, right?
Others only have one seed in their hands, how can Higashino have a basket?
She shook her head hurriedly, trying to get the matter out of her head.
This is equivalent to someone who knows the secret of Higashino Division? And in a lot of comics? People who expose the secrets of their bosses will not end up particularly well.
She decided to play dumb - she didn't see anything.
Yamagami Chixia hypnotized herself like this, watching them leave.
The other side.
"Mr. Higashino, I watched the three-minute film you uploaded, did you have that quality when it was released?" Yumi Takahashi asked a little curiously.
"It's just a small piece of the finished product." Tsukasa Higashino replied.
"Really? Isn't this an invincible opponent in the world? ”
Yumi Takahashi was a little excited.
This quality is too high.
Ryoka Konoe and Aoi Fujiwara subconsciously wanted Yumi Takahashi to be modest when they heard this, but they didn't speak yet? I heard Higashino Tsukasa reply with a smile: "yes, I think so too?" Fight all over the world invincible. ”
When these words came out, the two of them were speechless in an instant...
Tsukasa Higashino really deserves to be Tsukasa Higashino? It's too confident.
But...
"As, according to what you said? "Winner is Justice" has been made... So why stay busy until so late? Ryoka Konoe asked in a whisper.
She did not understand it a bit.
"It's not that it's done? That's the end of the work. We're still going to hand over the original film to the TV station? In addition, there is also the reproduction of Blu-ray discs and other miscellaneous work. Higashino replied with a smile.
Later, he explained to Konoe Ryoka about the production of Blu-ray discs.
The reproduction of Blu-ray discs is something that every animation production company does, and the sales of Blu-ray discs can explain the achievements of this animation from a certain point of view.
There are about one or two episodes of anime in a volume (i.e., a CD), and the market price is about 5,000 yen, and if there are bundled keychains or posters, the price can even rush to more than 6,000 yen.
Can you believe it? An anime disc can sell at such a high price in Japan – even at the level of Japanese consumption, a disc with a market price of 5,000 yen is expensive.
In other words, Blu-ray discs are just for the kind of core fans, that is, 'enthusiasts', and some fans are not particularly willing to pay this huge amount of money to buy an entire animated disc.
After all, most animations have twelve episodes in a quarter, and the Blu-ray disc is six volumes, 5000x6, which is 30,000 yen, and it also counts the situation that Japan does not include tax.
Therefore, if you really want to collect it, most Japanese people will only buy video tapes. (The picture quality is a few notches lower than that of Blu-ray Discs).
Therefore, many people in the outside world think that the sales of Blu-ray discs determine everything in animation, which is actually wrong, at most it reflects the achievements of animation from one aspect.
"I see," Ryoka Konoe nodded as she listened.
5,000 yen a roll, which is not an unacceptable price for her.
"Speaking of which... Mr. Higashino, what TV station is "Winner is Justice" released on? Yumi Takahashi asked a little concernedly.
As for the 5,000 yen thing... She deliberately saved up for the New Year's money just for now, not to mention that she can come up with 100,000 yen, but 30,000 yen is still not a big problem for her.
"The TV station on which "Winner is Justice" was released is Fuji TV, and it is updated every week... If nothing else, it should be nine o'clock on Sunday night. ”
Higashino replied with a smile.
To be honest, he doesn't care much about the sales of Blu-ray discs in "Winner is Justice", after all, in a few years, smart phones will appear, and the times will gradually change, and then you will no longer have to watch animation every day to watch TV, and the Japanese Blu-ray disc for 5,000 yen will gradually collapse... At most, it's just a little more in the past few years.
Compared with this, what makes Higashino Tsukasa sigh even more is that this time period is inevitably too good.
It can be seen that Fuji TV is also more concerned about the production of "Winner is Justice"... You must know that in the previous life, it was the broadcast time of Akira Toriyama's "Dragon Ball".
The time and place are right, and now it depends on the 'people' - whether the audience will give face.
As long as the audience gives face, and sells the screening rights of "Winner is Justice" to some computer video websites in the future, Higashino Studio will be able to make a lot of money.
After all, this time the production of "Winner is Justice", Higashino Tsukasa also subsidized a lot of money in order to catch up with the progress... Not counting the 100 million yen production funds given by investors, Tsukasa Higashino has to put in 10 million yen for each episode, and 110 million yen for 11 episodes - which is why "Winner is Justice" is so well made.
smashed out with money and manpower.
Coupled with the acquisition of PW Animation Productions, and the subsequent payment of wages... Tsukasa Higashino's small treasury was scavenged fiercely.
But to be honest, these are actually just a small amount of money for Tsukasa Higashino.
The sales of a volume of "Unnatural Death" are more than 800 million yen (excluding tax), plus "Lemon" and Kumamon that can continue to bring in profits... Tsukasa Higashino's assets have actually climbed to 10 billion yen a long time ago.
This is the treatment of Japanese national-level comic book authors, although it is not as good as the writers written in Japan, but the income can also be said to be considerable.
So the current investment doesn't matter.
Moreover, as long as the Blu-ray disc and the screening rights of "Winner is Justice" sell well, then the money invested now can basically be recouped.
In order to win the position of this year's hegemonic animation, the entire Blu-ray disc needs to sell about 50,000 copies, which is 150 million yen... Tsukasa Higashino was able to recoup a lot of costs in an instant.
However, Fujiwara Aoi, these little girls obviously don't think as much as Higashino Tsukasa thinks.
The few of them were simply happy that Tsukasa Higashino's work was on Fuji TV, and they chatted about it.
This made Higashino Tsukasa smile and took the initiative to walk around them and ask them about Kitagijuku.
"What do you need to worry about in Kita-Juku lately? It's probably about to be summer vacation, and tomorrow is still the day after tomorrow. ”
Ryoka Konoe replied softly as she thought about it.
Summer vacation...
This overly studently word made Higashino Tsukasa feel inexplicably unfamiliar.
After all, he has been in this world for more than a year, and he has not enjoyed the life of a Japanese high school student, and he has been busy with the things at hand.
But of course, the cold winter period of Japanese comics is such a short time, and after Tsukasa Higashino launched "Unnatural Death", it was directly shortened.
If you want to make a difference, you have to seize the opportunity now.
As for other things worth caring about... That may be during the time that Higashino Tsukasa left Kitayoshijuku, and I don't know what means Principal Yoshimine Ryuichi used, he actually gave Higashino Tsukasa the green light and made him basically pass all the exams.
This treatment makes Yumi Takahashi, who has always been not very bright-headed, envious to death, and she has to go to the North School to make up for the exam during the summer vacation, which is simply purgatory on earth.
Returning to the summer vacation, Yumi Takahashi and Aoi Fujiwara chatted softly.
It's probably about where to go after the summer vacation.
Yumi Takahashi thinks it's better to go to the beach, she wants to go to Kanagawa to see the surfing in Kanagawa, and Fujiwara Aoi on the other side said that it is better to go to Kanagawa than to go to Kyoto, Kinkakuji, Ginkakuji, Nijo Castle, Kiyomizu-dera Temple... There are many places of interest, so there is no need to go to Kanagawa to see the sea... After all, isn't the sea something that can be seen?
The two of them argued very much, which made Higashino Tsukasa couldn't help but ask Konoe Ryoka sideways: "Ryoka, where are you going to go during the summer vacation?" Don't you follow Aoi and Yumi to the place you want to go? ”
Ryoka Konoe has been studying, and he is also responsible for massaging Tsukasa Higashino at night, and he is so tired that even Tsukasa Higashino can't help but feel a little distressed - if Yano Ryuichi is like this, Tsukasa Higashino won't have much psychological fluctuations.
Sure enough, it's safer to relax a little.
It's just that after listening to Higashino Tsukasa's words, Konoe Ryoka's face suddenly became melancholy, and she looked at Higashino Tsukasa restlessly, with a pair of big eyes that didn't blink.
What's wrong? Why did Ass ask me this question all of a sudden?
Sensing the change in Konoe Ryoka's complexion, Higashino Tsukasa was a little strange, and he eased up for a while: "What's wrong?" Cool flowers? ”
Higashino Tsukasa asked this, and Konoe Ryoka also hesitated for a while before replying in a low voice, "I wanted to stay by Ace's side during the summer vacation... Isn't it possible? ”
As soon as these words were spoken, Higashino Tsukasa was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted and nodded with a smile: "Of course you can." I'm welcome if you want to stay with me, Lianghua. ”
However, Higashino Tsukasa also thought about it a little, and felt that after the summer vacation of Kita-Yoshijuku, after the release of "Winner is Justice", he could indeed rest for a while.
After all, "Unnatural Death" is almost over, and if he doesn't go out and walk around again, not only will Higashino Chihaya be moldy at home, but he Higashino Tsukasa will also be moldy.
I have to go out and see the scenery all year round.
Otherwise, I will finally live again for a lifetime, and I always feel that I will die suddenly in front of the workbench again.
Thinking about it, Higashino Tsukasa touched Konoe's head, and then raised his head to look at the road home in front of him.
Now we have to wait for the release of "Winner is Justice".
Only by getting the specific results of "Winner is Justice"... He was in the mood to take Ryoka Konoe, Chihaya Higashino and Yumi Takahashi on a trip.
Wait another two weeks... It's about to be officially released.
