Tsukasa Higashino's "Lonely Gourmet" has been serialized in the monthly magazine "Aoba" of "Bad Cold" for a year and a half, and it is the longest manga that Tsukasa Higashino has ever serialized so far, and Hosokawa Koharu was a little surprised - she originally thought that Tsukasa Higashino's "Lonely Foodie" would be like "Midnight Bell", and the serialization would end in a dozen words.

Of course, it goes without saying that the average sales of the "Lonely Gourmet" volume have already exceeded one million, and it has been in the first place in the "Aoba" reader survey all the year round, and there is a feeling that the rain can't move, and the wind can't blow, which belongs to that evergreen type of comic.

When you're a little hungry in your room at night, but you're too lazy to cook, just take a look at "The Lonely Gourmet", you'll be dizzy when you're hungry and have to find something to eat.

But to be honest, "Lonely Gourmet" is not easy to animate, after all, on the whole, "Lonely Gourmet" is similar to a semi-travelogue form, and it feels too light when it is animated, and no animation production company has the confidence to produce the kind of toxicity and taste drawn by Tsukasa Higashino, so this time Fuji TV came to the door and took the initiative to win "Lonely Gourmet", wanting to make it a low-cost late-night drama.

"When "Lonely Gourmet" was gaining momentum, our editorial department actually came to have dinner with the food pavilion... It's just that I haven't been here for so long... I didn't expect business here to be so good. ”

Hosokawa Koharu looked back at the washoku pavilion behind him and quipped, "It's the credit of Higashino-sensei's "Lonely Gourmet". ”

""The Lonely Gourmet" may have played some role in promoting it, but to keep the guests, it still depends on the ability of the owner of the food pavilion himself." Higashino Tsukasa said to Hosokawa Koharu with a smile, and didn't take the other party's joke seriously.

The atmosphere of the washo-tei is good, the corner restaurant, the store is also very clean, there is no peculiar smell, and the food is delicious, so of course some people will buy it.

"By the way, Mr. Higashino, you asked me to help postpone the matter on the side of the claimant of PW Animation Production Company, I have done it, and the attitude over there is still quite polite, but it is best not to delay it too long."

Approaching the separation, Hosokawa Koharu suddenly said this to Tsukasa Higashino.

PW Animation Production's inability to submit "Winner is Justice" on time is already considered a breach of contract, and if it hadn't been for Tsukasa Higashino asking her to help stop it in advance, it is estimated that a large claim would have come down now.

But to be honest, Hosokawa Koharu doesn't know why Tsukasa Higashino wants to help stop him... Could it be that he thinks PW Animation Production Company can still fulfill the agreement? It's basically impossible.

"Winner is Justice" was originally scheduled to be released in October, production began in April this year, and animation was announced in May, and now it has been directly burned for two months... It is basically impossible for PW Animation Production to complete "Winner is Justice" as originally planned - it will take at least half a month to clean up the mess of PW Animation Production.

Therefore, it can be said that the time is very short, even if in the end, PW Animation Production Company really came up with the work "Winner is Justice"... The final product quality estimate can also be a big surprise.

Therefore, Hosokawa Koharu didn't quite understand why Higashino Tsukasa took the initiative to postpone the claim for a few days.

It can't be Tsukasa Higashino who wants to take over this mess, right?

But to be honest, Hosokawa Koharu felt that even if Tsukasa Higashino personally helped, it would be difficult to end the mess of "Winner is Justice" perfectly.

It's not that I'm not confident in Tsukasa Higashino, it's because it's too difficult to change something by myself in the matter of making animation...

Even if Tsukasa Higashino's strength can be the original painting of one person, then he can't go back to the original painting of one person, right?

Do you really think of Tsukasa Higashino as a fairy?

"Thank you editor Hosokawa for your help, but I still have some things to deal with at PW Animation Production, so don't worry, I won't delay your work."

"It's for the best." Hosokawa Koharu nodded, and Higashino Tsukasa was a little relieved by this sentence: "Mr. Higashino, you have done your best for PW Animation Production Company, in fact, you don't need to do anything more... After all, this company doesn't have much to do with you. ”

Hearing Hosokawa Koharu's words, Higashino Tsukasa just smiled happily, Hosokawa Koharu didn't know that he had actually reached out to PW Animation Productions.

After the two separated, Tsukasa Higashino soon returned home and began to read questions about the production of "Winner is Justice".

Although there is "Although Our Hands Are Empty" as a foreshadowing, most of the people who abuse have relented. However, there are still many people who are pessimistic about the production of "Winner is Justice", and feel that this work should not be seen this year.

There's no way, the construction period is too far behind, and the animation in the same period is basically thirty or forty percent complete now, and "Winner is Justice" is burned to zero, such a big gap, even the top three Dujing animation production companies in the industry are currently recognized as strong, and it is difficult to fill.

There is also a particularly pessimistic magazine called "Suzuki Miscellaneous" who took the initiative to quipped that if "Winner is Justice" could finally be released on time on television, then all the men in their magazine department would have shaved their heads - this seems to be a very famous meme of their magazine, because their editor-in-chief is bald, so many editors will make this joke.

Of course, this is not an ordinary joke, some time ago I made this joke about whether "Unnatural Death" can break through the average sales of two million volumes, and the result is that a group of editors of "Suzuki Miscellaneous" have shaved their heads.

Now that a month or two has passed, their hair has grown back a lot, so they joked about "Winner is Justice" again, thinking that it was impossible to fall on Tsukasa Higashino again.

Higashino just glanced at it, and he also thought that the editorial department of this magazine was quite pleasant, which was too optimistic.

It's just that he lowered his head and couldn't help but groan, and began to think about the specific production of "Winner is Justice".

After all, if he wins PW Animation Production, his comic "Winner is Justice" will be the first hurdle he will face.

This is not to say that there is such a thing as compensation - in fact, Tsukasa Higashino doesn't care much about money, he is not interested in money, he just thinks that it is enough.

Compared with the compensation payment, Tsukasa Higashino is actually more concerned about whether "Winner is Justice" can be released on time.

He thought back to the part of the original painting he saw at Daguan's house, combined with his own situation, thought about it a little, and felt that there was still a chance.

The original painting rescued by Dashun is probably the weight of one or two episodes of "The Winner is Justice".

There are still four months left, and as long as the staff of PW Animation Production Company are integrated, there is a good chance that the production of "Winner is Justice" will be completed.

And there is also Tsukasa Higashino, the original author of the manga... This advantage can be said to have been expanded again.

Higashino nodded after thinking about it, thinking that there was no problem.

"Next, it's up to Ryuichi Yano's statement."

Yes.

Ryuichi Yano is the second-in-command second only to Yuto Otsuki in PW Productions, and with his statement, it will be easy for Tsukasa Higashino to officially take over PW Animation Productions.

This is considered the benefit of a small company, and there is no need to worry about factional battles at all.

As for the time.

Higashino gave Yano Ryu a fifteen-day time to think about it, which was the time he spent filming the easter eggs in the second two or three minutes of "The Lonely Gourmet".

He shook his head, putting the things behind him for now.

......

The next day, Tsukasa Higashino received a call from the crew of "Lonely Gourmet", and they were actually very surprised that Tsukasa Higashino accepted the invitation to film, after all, in their opinion, Tsukasa Higashino has always been a busy person, whether it is "Unnatural Death" or other copyright peripheral projects, he needs to be present himself...

And they invited Tsukasa Higashino to come over, in fact, they also wanted to rub the heat of Tsukasa Higashino himself, in this case, Tsukasa Higashino should not have made time to make a special trip to accept their late-night crew filming.

As a result, who would have thought that the great god Higashino Tsukasa really took time.

Although this does not make the crew director and actors very excited, it is enough to make them feel motivated.

As soon as Tsukasa Higashino entered the crew, he was warmly welcomed, and it was tea and the director explained it himself... It can be said to be an imperial treatment.

Tsukasa Higashino also met the middle-aged uncle who played Goro Inokashi.

The appearance of the other party is still different from that of Matsushige Yutaka in his previous life, but under the handling of the makeup artist, the gap between him and the 'fifth uncle' in Higashinoji's impression is actually not very big.

As soon as the other party saw Higashino Division, he walked up and took the initiative to shake hands, and at the same time took out a small notebook, hoping that Higashino Tsukasa could sign it, his son has always been a fan of Higashino Division.

This kind of small request Higashino Tsukasa naturally agreed with a smile, took the pen and signed his name.

"The whole shooting plan won't waste too much of your time, Mr. Higashino, we will shoot in two or three locations a day." The middle-aged director, who is called Tangami, spoke.

"Two or three places? What am I going to do? For example, are there any line requirements? Higashino thought for a moment and nodded.

"Higashino-sensei doesn't have any line requirements." Director Tian showed a kind smile: "Originally, this is an easter egg at the end of the film, what the audience wants to see is that Mr. Higashino remains in a natural state, doesn't say anything sensitive, and simply evaluates those foods." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Tsukasa Higashino, and after a while he sighed in his heart.

Higashino Tsukasa's foundation is indeed very good, he looks beautiful and good-looking, but he is not like many morning drama actors, who have an inexplicable sense of femininity.

This kind of comic book author is always more photogenic than some half-bald middle-aged uncle author is more eye-catching to the audience.

Don't look at many viewers saying that they don't look at their faces and don't look at their faces, when that time comes, they will have a lot more requirements for their appearance.

Director Tangami was very satisfied with Tsukasa Higashino, and took Tsukasa Higashino to shoot easter eggs at night.

The food is casually ordered by Higashino Division, and it doesn't matter if you can't finish it, it can be regarded as a free meal.

Anyway, the easter eggs are just a formality, and it doesn't matter if Higashino Tsukasa just eats a few bites and puts them down.

It's just that Higashino Tsukasa hasn't reached that bad point, unless it's the director's request, in addition, he basically ordered one or two dishes, and he really couldn't eat it, so when the shooting was over, just call the filmmaker to enjoy it together.

The process isn't too fast, but it's not too slow either.

After all, the crew of "Lonely Gourmet" still has a shooting plan, but Tsukasa Higashino is here now, so they will take the opportunity to prepare the end credits in advance.

I have to say that although the food is delicious, Tsukasa Higashino still can't stand it in the end - it's delicious, but if you keep eating it... You definitely can't stand it.

I really don't know how those big stomach kings ate in my previous life...

It seems that it is not easy to eat and broadcast just sitting there and eating.

Tsukasa Higashino shook his head, and quickly rushed to the next shooting location amid the greeting of Director Tanagami.

And at the same time...

"Do you want to put down PW Animation Studios?"

When Yano Ryuichi came up with this idea, all the PW animation production company employees who could be called upon were stunned, and they were very surprised by Yano Ryuichi's decision.

Someone questioned: "But even if you put down the PW animation production company now, the employees of the animation production company outside are almost saturated... We shouldn't be able to get work anywhere else. ”

The animation production industry in Japan is so big, everyone looks up and doesn't look down, and the operation of the surrounding companiesThe PW Animation Production employees who were present also knew very well how they would live if they left PW Animation Production.

The most important thing is...

Abandon PW Animation Production Company... It's really about giving up "Winner is Justice"...

Why haven't they announced the postponement of the production of "Winner is Justice" until now? It's just that I still want to make this work that I have worked so...

As a result, do you give up when you say you give up?

In this regard, Yano Ryuichi also said in a targeted manner: "Mr. Higashino is willing to take over the PW animation production company and set up a studio with our team, so you don't have to worry about the future problem." ”

Higashino-sensei is willing to take over...

This made many employees come to the spirit.

They can really be regarded as being helped by Higashino Tsukasa again and again, and if so, then they don't have to worry about whether they are unemployed.

Most of his heart was lowered at once, and then someone raised his hand and asked in a low voice: "May I ask if Mr. Higashino has the will to take over the production of "The Winner is Justice"?" ”

"Absolutely." Ryuichi Yano smiled confidently, as if he had long known that someone would ask this question: "This is Higashino-sensei's own work. ”

When this sentence was spoken, everyone was completely relieved, and many people's depressed faces gradually showed a trace of stability because of the fire.

They discussed in a whispered voice with some excitement, which made Yano Ryuichi above also relieved.

Merely...

Yano Ryuichi shook his head, feeling a little bottomless.

Just now it was just a lie he casually said in order to persuade the old employees below.

In fact, he didn't know if Tsukasa Higashino wanted to take over the mess of "Winner is Justice" they left behind...

And his own group made such a request directly to the new president...

Will Tsukasa Higashino agree?

Wouldn't that be a bit excessive? Will Tsukasa Higashino be angry about this?

Yano Ryuichi was a little confused.

To sum up his current mood in one sentence - he scored zero in the test and wanted to confess to his parents, but he was afraid of being scolded.

It's a very tangled, very complicated mood.
