Chapter 86. Tokyo
"Higashino-san, you..." The college students of the Academy of Fine Arts, who were still using the title of 'Jun' just now, couldn't help but use the honorific title.
He's still a little unsure if the staff made a mistake...
Double Gold Reward? Or a high school student...?
How is this possible?
"I'm sorry, I'll go up for a while and we'll talk later." Tsukasa Higashino answered, and got up again.
Seeing Tsukasa Higashino stand up and walk onto the stage to receive the award, the people at the adult round table were silent.
Only the Academy of Fine Arts student who was still talking to Tsukasa Higashino just now asked Fukushima Madoka, "That... You're a private student in Kitagijuku, right? Higashino Sangjin won a double gold award? ”
"Ahh Yes, it is. I didn't expect the students of the five major art academies to ask themselves this kind of thing in a whisper, Fukushima Madoka was stunned at first, and immediately stumbled to answer.
"......" Hearing Madoka Fukushima's answer, the college student couldn't help but scratch his hair with his hand: "I can't accept it..."
He now finally knows why when "Tokyo Sunset Impression" came out, the jury gave him a "If you participate in the adult competition, you may be able to win a gold prize." ’
It turned out that the foreshadowing had already been foreshadowed at that time.
Higashino not only participated in the student competition, but also the adult group.
I think that at the beginning, they were quite complaining about Higashino's dress, but now take a look... It's kind of funny.
I don't know if there's a chance to be friendly with each other now...
After all, the Tokyo Youth Painting Awards have a double gold award! For the first time in history!
Although Tsukasa Higashino may grow up with everyone, it is definitely not a loss to have a good relationship with him.
And...
"What the hell is Higashino-san drawing... Why can't even Kuronomiya-san's "Shangjing" beat. ”
Someone whispered about it.
The atmosphere at the venue gradually became warmer.
But no amount of enthusiasm can warm up the media reporters on both sides.
They were emotional, and kept pressing the shutter on Tsukasa Higashino.
Winner of the first double gold award in the history of the Tokyo Youth Art Awards!
The winner is a high school student!
Either way, it's a big deal!
Of course, they will not let go of this headline, and the camera in their hands is constantly flashing white.
Higashino even felt like his eyes were about to be blinded.
finally got on stage, and Higashino finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The male emcee next to him also handed over the microphone in due course: "I wonder how Higashino-kun feels when he stands on the podium of the adult group gold award again?" ”
"There are a lot of feelings." Tsukasa Higashino took the microphone with a smile and said, "If I want to say that I am most grateful to my alma mater, Kita-Gijuku Private High School, and my instructor, Mr. Ryoko Okano, they trained me, if not..."
He talked a lot of things, most of them talking about Kita-Yoshijuku and Yoshiko Okano.
The emcee next to him was stunned.
When others come on stage to talk about their feelings, they say what they say, and they feel very happy. ''I'm going to work harder.'' ''The creative process is difficult' or something.
As a result, Tsukasa Higashino, the winner of the gold award, came to the stage and began to advertise Kita-Gijuku High School without saying a word.
Although it is also normal to mention the alma mater... But he used the gold award stage to advertise and sell favors to his alma mater... This is the first time this has happened.
This double gold award winner, Higashino Tsukasa is too good at being a person.
"That's how I feel about winning this award." After Tsukasa Higashino finished speaking, he handed the microphone to the emcee next to him, feeling relaxed.
Although Higashino Tsukasa doesn't plan to let Higashino Chihaya go back to school, it will definitely not be a loss to sell this favor to Kitagijuku Private High School.
Maybe because of this favor, the guaranteed place of Muto no Art University after Higashino Tsukasa was promoted to the third year of high school was stable?
After all, you can sell favors just by saying two words, and as long as you are a little more mature, you will not give up this opportunity.
It is expected that even if Higashino Tsukasa has any small requests in the future, the Hokugijuku school will do its best to meet them.
As for Ryoko Okano? Anyway, thank you, so it's better to thank Teacher Gangye together, and give her a favor is also convenient for herself.
Just as Higashino was thinking, the male emcee on the side also spoke.
"Actually, in addition to the feeling of winning the double gold award, I also want to ask Higashino-kun another question."
The male emcee had a small interaction: "Why does Higashino-kun wear a scarf on such a formal award ceremony?" And isn't it hot? ”
That's right.
In fact, the following media reporters are also quite concerned.
Tsukasa Higashino's black and white dress with a scarf is still very strange.
Although it can be explained by a subheading like 'The Quirks of Genius', they still want to know the truth.
The microphone was handed over again, and this time Higashino didn't continue to advertise, he just pulled up the scarf and replied:
"This is the best gift I have received this year, and I would like to share the joy of the double gold award with the person who gave the gift. It's not a 'genius quirk' as you think, and it's really hot to wear, and if you see me next time I wear this scarf, it's already winter. ”
Tsukasa Higashino did not mention his family situation, nor did he mention Chihaya Higashino's condition.
For no other reason - it's too vulgar and too pretentious...
Although Higashino Tsukasa is not an elegant person, he also feels that he is not too tacky.
He has his own arrogance.
He can advertise for Hokugijuku on the Golden Award stage, and he can also keep silent about his family's plight.
Because for Tsukasa Higashino, others can like him because of his works, but they must not feel sympathy and charity because of his family situation, and then like him.
The so-called men's bottom line may be like this.
Of course, the master of ceremonies next to him didn't know what Higashino meant, he just smiled and asked, "So, the person who gave the gift should be watching TV right now, right?" ”
"It should be watching." Tsukasa Higashino nodded and waved his hand at the camera, greeting Chihaya Higashino on the other side of the camera.
This is the end of the specific interaction process, and then the next thing is -
"Appreciation of the Gold Award Works in the Adult Group."
It's finally here.
The winners of the adult group and the student group below have come to the spirit.
They all wanted to see what Higashino had drawn, and how he could be worthy of the banner of the double gold reward.
The master of ceremonies said dryly, "The award-winning work is called "Tokyo", and it was created by Mr. Tsukasa Higashino. ”
The judges' comments were: the painting method beyond the imagination of the ordinary author, the grotesque and exaggerated use of warm colors, the pedestrians on the streets of Tokyo are elongated and deformed. It is an unimaginable work that haunts the depressed and painful middle-aged people, the contrast between the pompous Tokyo figure and the realistic middle-aged man, the contrast between cold and warm colors, and the contrast between the drunken side of Tokyo and the more realistic side. ”
The master of ceremonies' voice paused, and then sounded again:
"What's even more incredible is that it was actually painted by a high school student!"
Crash!
The master of ceremonies lifted the dark red curtain.
This gold medal work in the adult group "Tokyo" also caught everyone's attention.
