"Higashino-sensei is really different from us..."

Editor-in-chief Urashima looked at the score of "Although Our Hands Are Empty" in front of him, and looked a little emotional: "I actually thought of using this method to support PW Animation Productions..."

Generally speaking, most people hide this kind of good work, and wait for the right opportunity to release it, and it is a blockbuster.

It is estimated that Higashino will take it out directly and use it to support PW animation production company.

He is indeed a warm-hearted and socially responsible comic book author.

Tsukasa Higashino listened to Urashima's words and just smiled: "I'm actually selfish. ”

In this regard, Higashino Tsukasa is still very open.

He did have a dead heart.

The song "Although We Have Nothing in Our Hands" is not strictly a song written only for PW Animation Productions.

Tsukasa Higashino had already thought about it before he went home, and directly moved out "Once I Thought About a Hundred" to stimulate Higashino Chihaya's subconscious.

After all, the human psyche ... No one can figure this thing out.

In addition, the song "Lemon" is only sad but not sad on the whole, maybe "I once thought about it a hundred" stimulated Higashino Chihaya?

This has to be prevented... It's better to take it step by step.

Tsukasa Higashino pondered for a while before making a decision on "Although Our Hands Are Empty".

'Chihaya Higashino Treatment Plan! Start now. ’

In addition to this, in fact, Higashino Tsukasa also has other considerations.

For example, this song can improve his external social image - his peers can immediately give feedback when they encounter misfortune, and he is a good comic book writer with enthusiasm.

For example, if you can torture the tear ducts of Japanese friends, maybe you can really use this short film "Although Our Hands Are Empty" to reduce the suicide rate in Japan.

Similarly, after the song really became famous in the industry, it was also able to increase the number of well-known points on the system.

The new painting skill Tsukasa Higashino also looked at, and it was about painting and feeling the tactile aspect.

It takes a full fifteen million Famous Points to redeem this skill.

This huge amount of well-known points is estimated to take a few years for Tsukasa Higashino to save up before he can redeem them...

"Do you need our help contacting the original artist? It was also written above, this is to make a 4 minutes and 12 seconds animated short film, right? Urashima's editor-in-chief put down the brief score of "Although Our Hands Are Empty" and asked rhetorically.

"No, this time I want to draw the original painting by myself."

Higashino Tsukasa put all the thoughts in his head and replied very dryly.

One person's original painting?

Urashima, the editor-in-chief who received this answer, was quite surprised.

The so-called one-person original painting, in fact, is a technical term in the Japanese industry, which refers to the OP or ED of a work that only one original artist is responsible for, or the content of an episode of the anime, but in this way, the task of the original artist is very heavy, and this also requires the original artist to have a particularly high level of painting attainment.

Of course, the editor-in-chief of Urashima is not suspicious of Tsukasa Higashino's painting skills.

It's just that Tsukasa Higashino still has "Unnatural Death" to be serialized, and he has to take time out of the serialization to draw a 4 minute and 12 second animated short film, and it will be completed in two weeks... This is too much of a task.

Even if it can be completed, can the quality be high?

"What can I do to help Higashino-sensei?" The editor-in-chief of Urashima didn't say these words, after all, he had known Tsukasa Higashino for so long and knew Tsukasa Higashino's temperament.

Tsukasa Higashino will never come out with something shoddy.

"When I finished the original painting of 'Even though Our Hands Are Empty', I asked Urashima Publishing to help me contact a production company with experience in making animated short films, and ask them to help add some post-production special effects."

"Okay, I got it." Editor-in-chief Urashima smiled and nodded.

This is a private act of Tsukasa Higashino and has little to do with the interests of Urashima Press.

But the editor-in-chief of Urashima didn't say much, didn't ask much, and directly said that he would use the publisher's connections to help.

This is also the face of Tsukasa Higashino, the pillar of Urashima Publishing House.

Tsukasa Higashino communicated with the editor-in-chief of Urashima for a while, and the other party first congratulated "Unnatural Death" and "Lemon" on their good results, and then talked about how to maintain the average sales of two million volumes.

"Next is the production of 'Although Our Hands Are Empty'..."Higashino sighed before shaking his head.

It was only then that he realized that it was indeed inconvenient to not have a studio or a helper.

A small original animated short film like "Although We Have No Hands" can be done quickly by a small studio.

After all, there are many original drawings in the animated short film "Although Our Hands Are Empty" that can be reused, strictly speaking, it does not take much time for Tsukasa Higashino, and the key is the post-production special effects.

"Do you want to take this opportunity to pull a Higashino studio?" Tsukasa Higashino teased a little amusefully.

The female voice actor has Riko Hasegawa, and the original artists with superb drawing skills include Kuromiya Akisa, Nagawa Chimi, a student at Musashino Art University, and it is said that Nagawa Chimi seems to know a lot about computers, so can she be considered for post-special effects? And the general affairs are looking for Ryoka Konoe and Aoi Fujiwara...

Higashino shook his head thinking about it.

It's actually a simple idea, and it's kind of a whim, and Higashino doesn't really plan to set up any studio.

After all, who can afford to ask best-selling manga author Akira Kuronomiya to help draw the original picture? Chimi Nagawa is also a standard white Fumei, and after graduation, she will inherit hundreds of millions of family properties, where would she be willing to follow and build a studio? Ryoka Konoe is still a student... As for Riko Hasegawa... Tsukasa Higashino is confident that he will pull her into the gang... But I feel that this is not appropriate to use her as a tool.

Tsukasa Higashino took this whim to heart and began to think about the original painting of "Although Our Hands Are Empty".

As mentioned earlier, the production process of this work is not complicated, many of the backgrounds of the original painting can be reused, and the overall style is a cartoon picture book (storybook), most of the lines are very simple, revealing some love and warmth.

Two weeks after the original painting is over, it should be no problem.

As for the song "Although Our Hands Are Empty", there is no need to worry.

It wasn't difficult for Urashima Press to help borrow a recording studio.

Thinking of this, Higashino Tsukasa also nodded, and he was completely confident in his heart.

It's absolutely fine to get "Although Our Hands Are Empty" out in two weeks.

Similarly, "Unnatural Death" can't relax, maintain its current results, and keep 2 million to 2.1 million volumes.

It is also that he is young now, and his physical fitness is also very good, unlike his previous life, when he was a professional painter at the age of twenty-five or sixteen, he hollowed out his body early - otherwise there would have been rumors of sudden death.

No matter what! Let's go!

Thinking about it, Higashino Tsukasa bowed his head and walked towards his house.

......

Sitting at his work desk, Tsukasa Higashino began to recall the plot story of the animated MV "Although Our Hands Are Empty".

It's been mentioned enough that the theme style of this animated MV is a cartoon picture book style, and its story is naturally similar to a cartoon fairy tale picture book style.

At the beginning, the mother sheep was lying on the bed, unable to sleep with her eyes open, because her child had died, and at this time there was a sound outside the door, and the postman came to the door, but at this time, the mother sheep had no intention of taking care of it, just picked up the sweater knitting needle next to it and threw it to the door.

Because she knew that she could no longer see the deceased child, looking at the half-knitted sweater, the mother sheep's eyes were moist again, and she covered her face with the quilt.

At this time, the little lamb who was about to go to heaven felt something in the clouds in the sky, and it was very sad to see the mother sheep so sad, so it thought of making a rope to return to the world from the clouds. It asked the aunt in front of it to borrow a razor and hide in the clouds to scrape off its wool, but before it could start making the rope, it was carried back to its place by the wolf guards of Heaven.

The lamb did not give up, it ran again to the clouds, made a rope out of wool, and successfully used the rope to return to the ground, and his soul ran into the room, and looked up and hugged the mother sheep, hoping that she would take a look at him. But the soul could not be discovered by the living, and he was re-taken away by the wolf guards.

In heaven, the lamb is already the last soul, and when he is about to enter heaven, he has an extra sweater on his body because he has shaved his hair... It turned out that the mother sheep felt something and remembered the days when she used to get along with the lamb, so she picked up the sweater needle and began to sew the sweater that had not been sewn for the lamb before, and this thought was transmitted to the lamb.

The lamb ran into heaven and looked at the wolf guard before leaving.

The wolf guard was bare behind him, and at this point, the lamb also understood that it was the other party who helped him, and continued the rope that was not long enough.

At the end of the story, the wolf guard turns his wand.

The rope of the lamb turned into a starry sky, and the mother sheep looked up just in time to see all this.

This is the end of the story.

Overall, this is a very touching story, and with the song "Although Our Hands Are Empty", it is especially appropriate.

Mothers who want to protect their children, children who want to protect their mothers, and people who lend a helping hand...

Tsukasa Higashino picked up his pen, pondered these plots, put all his drawing skills to use, and began to draw them page by page.

Singing may be regarded as a layman who has entered half the door, but painting is different!

It's his profession!

Painting such a touching story, Tsukasa Higashino must have scraped down the tears of many Japanese friends.

In addition, this animation MV has made many people 'teary-eyed' in the previous life of Tsukasa Higashino.,If you match it with Tsukasa Higashino's painting skills...

It's perfectly fine to say 'tears run'.

But that's what Higashino wants to achieve.

Only when this effect is achieved will anyone pay attention to the arson case of PW Productions.

Although Tsukasa Higashino is selfish... But he still hasn't forgotten his original goal.

"I still need to refuel."

Higashino looked at the time of eleven o'clock in the evening, shook his head, raised his pen, and continued to draw.

In fact, does Tsukasa Higashino have any selfish intentions, does he really want to help PW Productions... This is estimated to be known only by Tsukasa Higashino.

......

A week and a half later.

"This week's 'Unnatural Death' is also very good! The conflict between Dr. Nakado and Mikoto Mitsumi intensifies... What's going to happen next? And what will Rokuro Kube, the magazine news writer, do in the end? It's getting better and better. ”

"Dr. Nakado turned out to be the one who has been obsessed with investigating the 'goldfish mark' for the sake of his girlfriend... It feels like Higashino-san is in the next big game of chess again, and the plot behind this must be very long... It's wonderful. ”

"I've already hinted that it's about investigating serial murders, and when I get to the end, I can always hear the theme song of "Lemon"... Did Higashino-san really add something to my ears? I don't have it when I read other comics. When I saw Mikoto Mitsumi's appearance, I burst into tears. ”

Listening to the discussion of "Unnatural Death" among girls of the same age, Hino Kazueda pursed his lips and shook his head, a little disdainful.

She has always felt that reading comics is very childish, it belongs to the behavior of children, although she has not read "Unnatural Death", but it is estimated that it is similar to ordinary comics, how can the outside world say so mysterious?

Still 'teary-eyed' at every turn? Your tears are worthless.

Hino Kazueda felt that the word 'tearful eyes' was a bit exaggerated anyway, and she only felt that the corners of her eyes were astringent when she heard that particularly touching tune, and there was no tearful expression at all.

But even after saying so many bad points, Kazue Hino has to praise the author of this one called Tsukasa Higashino - although I haven't read the manga, the theme song "Lemon" is really good.

She belongs to the kind of girl who likes music very much, and has dabbled in various types of music, and thinks that music is the art that can best express human emotions.

She also once posted on the Internet, asking Tsukasa Higashino not to draw any comics, isn't it good to make an honest singer's debut?

Our fans are still waiting for your new work!

It's a pity that Tsukasa Higashino seems to have really given up on pure fans like her, and disappeared after posting the song "Lemon".

"Alas, it's a pity that a talent ... I have to draw some comics. Hino and Eda muttered as they walked out of school with their shoulder bags and into their rooms.

The walls of the room were plastered with posters of many singers, and the first thing she did when she put down her shoulder bag was to turn on her computer and open several famous music websites and various distribution charts.

It's kind of fun for her, so when she gets home, check to see if there's any new and good music, and then see if there are any of her favorite singers active on the site...

She flipped down, and finally a cartoon-shaped lamb stepped on a cloud, and the cover with its head half-raised jumped into her eyes.

"Huh? "Even though our hands are empty"...? Lyrical type of songs? And the MV of the unmaterial (free) delivery can you watch? ”

Hino Kazue is interested, and she knows the song when she auditions, but it's the first time I've seen a free MV.

A MV that looks like an anime?

She raised her hand, and was just about to click on the MV, and then she thought of what the high school girl in the same grade said just now-

Hino and Ea pinched their chins, a little funny: "How can it be so simple to be teary-eyed?" ”

Let's watch the MV and listen to the song first!
