Tokyo Girlfriend Illustrated Book

Chapter 514 Problems with New Comics

As long as she is with Eiri, there will be no lack of joy. The girl is not the type to deliberately have fun, but she often becomes the fun herself.

On the deserted road, the two stepped on each other's shadows, and then used their hands to construct various inexplicable weapons to save themselves. They chased, cheated, and when they were tired, they carried me.

It was impossible to carry it on her back. Eiri had a full stomach after eating in the family restaurant. This was the time to take a walk to eat. She still remembered the last time she was laughed at by Kasumigaoka Shiu for getting fat.

In the end, only half of the body was hanging on Hojo Kyosuke, and the two of them were just like ordinary high school lovers who had just returned home from club activities.

During this period, he was talking about what happened in school, and someone confessed to him.

"It's really troublesome to find a way to reject those people decently and resolutely!" Her Royal Highness the Princess said so, and at the same time, she did not forget to secretly poke a few words at a certain witch:

"It's better to be as arrogant as Kasumigaoka Shiyu. It only takes two or three times and no one will dare to confess to me again!"

She will also talk about the Tokyo Youth Exhibition. Once she enters such a professional field, her whole body will shine with dazzling light.

"I've already thought about the theme. Even if I don't read the content, the idea alone is worth a silver reward! Hehehehe, Kyousuke, if you continue to be so leisurely, don't cry when the time comes. But there's no need to worry, wait. I will guide you after I finish drawing. After all, there is a big difference between this kind of exhibition works and comics."

Kyousuke Hojo agrees with this statement. If you are not a professional in the paintings participating in the exhibition, you may only see that the colors are amazing and the paintings are very similar. If the painter's skills were more advanced, he might be very shocked, but what exactly is shocking? But I can't say such a comment.

Otherwise, painting is an elegant activity, and if everyone can comment on it like baseball, how could the relatives of the royal family come together to hold an art exhibition to maintain their own dignity that day.

However, Hojo Kyosuke participated in this event just to accompany Eri, and it didn't matter whether he won or not. But thinking about it, with his strength as a cheater, it would be very difficult for him not to win the prize.

This kind of three-dimensional related things were just ignored by Eri-ri. Maybe it was because she had already talked too much with the people around her during the day, so she only mentioned it a little now. The discussion between them was more about otaku. circle thing.

To say that they belong to the otaku circle is a bit inaccurate, because neither of them are simply consumer otakus. One is the teacher Eri Kashiwagi who has become well-known in the book world through hard work early on, and the other is a cheater who came to cheat Otaku from the very beginning. They are both creators.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Koike is actually an old man in his sixties. I always thought that the author of such cute comics would be a cute girl like me."

Eiriri said excitedly, unlike Hojo Kyosuke who was trying to catch fish, she joined the production team early. Although she is not as well-known in the serious drama industry as in the world, she has been active in the industry for a long time as the original artist and novel illustrator of "Teacher Egoist", and her name also directly appeared in "One Punch Man" "The author column is tied with Hojo Kyosuke, so it still receives a considerable degree of attention.

At this moment, Hojo Kyosuke is still fishing, but she has already served as LAYOUT. Simply put, she is the person who draws the design drawings based on the storyboard. The storyboard will briefly explain what the scene is like, which characters will appear, and what the characters will do. LAYOUT is responsible for implementing and detailing these things. This is not simple. You have to consider perspective, proportion, lens time, etc.

The last time Hojo Kyosuke was in the production team of "One Punch Man", he was mainly responsible for the production of the storyboard script. Because it was too detailed, it directly saved a lot of effort for the original animators. Well, the position of LAYOUT is usually filled by the original artist, so the strength of the original artist is taken into consideration. After all, this is not a static painting, but you have to consider whether the entire scene will look good and reasonable when it moves. The requirements for the original painter's aesthetics, painting skills and other professional abilities are very high.

Eiriri has been full of energy since she got this position. Even if Kasumigaoka Shiyu teased her for being a coolie, she didn't care. She looked like she was going to gain experience to upgrade after entering the dungeon. Even if she didn't explain it directly, Hojo Kyosuke knew that this guy was holding his breath after being provoked by Akane Benisaka last time.

Just waiting to use his own ability to produce a high-quality animation to slap him in the face and prove that he is definitely not just following Hojo Kyosuke. Although it is indeed fishing! But when fishing, you don’t get nothing but happiness!

"Do you have any impression of Ms. Murasaki Shikibu who was in my group?" Eiri asked.

"Well, it seems that you have served as the animation supervisor in "Robot Girl QZ" before, right?" Hojo Kyosuke recalled it for a while and then remembered.

"I actually remember it so clearly! Did you have something..."

"I remember that name because it's so rare!"

"Humph, anyway, I have quietly observed it. Ms. Murasaki Shikibu's ability is really great. When "Neighbor Neighbor Neighbor" is about to be finished, we will invite her to join "Carbonic Acid"! "

With a groan, the girl with truly evil intentions expressed her thoughts.

She said that she didn't seem to have considered whether Miss Murasaki Shikibu was willing to join "Carbonic Acid", which shows how confident she is in her own club.

"That's great, Eiriri. You've already found the target before I even started taking action!" Hojo Kyosuke said in surprise.

Naturally, it is not just because of love that he is so enthusiastic about joining the animation production team. It is indeed a sense of accomplishment to see the characters he likes move under his hands, but wouldn't it be even more satisfying to see the teacher he likes join his company to help him make money? A sense of accomplishment?

The current team of "Carbonic Acid" is all recruited from the last time he joined the production team of "One Punch Man". This time, of course, he is unceremoniously planning to repeat his previous operations and pry the corners hard.

"I am also the vice president of the company, do you still need to talk about this kind of thing?" Ying Lili raised her eyebrows in a disdainful tone, but her steps were quietly lighter.

After being silly for a while, she mentioned several names that she thought could be poached after investigation. The highest-ranking one was even the vice president of the other company.

"It's too wasteful to stay in that kind of company and do small productions every day. Why don't you come work for me and give her half the salary directly!" The little man spoke very domineeringly. It seems that the little rich woman has made plans to give her money. company awareness.

If Hojo Kyosuke was not strong enough, there would probably be a picture of Eri with a cooling patch on her forehead, a refreshing drink in her left hand and a paintbrush in her right hand, working hard to make money to subsidize the carbonation.

However, both of them believe that such a scene will never happen. Although they are also generating electricity for love, they are not original creations, but comic adaptations. With the popularity of "Attack on Titan", even if the production company is a small company with no achievements at all, There is no need to worry about finding someone willing to invest money to join the business. Apart from anything else, just looking at the name Hojo Kyosuke makes it worth giving it a try.

"I heard that you went to the baseball club for training today?" Yinglili suddenly changed the topic.

"Huh? How did you know?" Hojo Kyousuke was stunned. Eiri didn't go home yesterday, so she probably didn't know about this.

"I just accidentally heard someone mention it." Yinglili said casually.

"But even I only decided to go last night..."

"Huh?! You mean I care about what you do all the time? Don't be too self-righteous about trivial chores. In short, don't talk about such insignificant things anymore!"

Lady Yinglili turned her little head, and her golden braid immediately launched a fierce attack from bottom to top. If she didn't obey her order and shut up, she would definitely get a mouthful of hair.

She just woke up in the morning and sent a message to the handyman, but found that he didn't reply for a long time. She was curious! I was curious if something had happened to him, so I called Sakura. After Sakura didn't answer the phone, she called Glass. After Glass didn't answer the phone, she called Aunt Miyoko. After Aunt Miyoko didn't answer the phone, she rushed over again. Kasumigaoka Shiha's class asked the woman.

How can it be repaired? You have to tell them in advance about training, it will make people worried to death!

Hojo Kyosuke knows best when a girl is the cutest, so he naturally knows that Eiri is the cutest when she is pretending to be shy and on the verge of becoming angry, so he grins and bites a strand of hair to tease her. To tease the girl.

"Yeah, I feel like since I'm a high school student, I shouldn't miss Koshien no matter what."

The reason why Koshien's status is so high is because it symbolizes countless regrets. Senior high school students can only participate in the last summer Koshien, and then they are no longer allowed to participate. In the last youth, losing a game will leave a lifelong regret. Such regrets will linger in my heart until I get married and have children, so not only high school students are determined to win Koshien, but even office workers and retired men will burst into tears watching it.

Originally, Hojo Kyosuke did not have such a strong desire to win, but after learning that Sakurara became the baseball manager, he decided to lead Sakura into Koshien no matter what.

"..."

Eiri fell silent after hearing this, as if Hojo Kyousuke's words had stopped her pre-conceived remarks.

"What's wrong?" someone asked.

"Did you know that the 27th is the final selection date for the Neon Mystery Writers Association Award?" The girl finally said what she wanted to say before.

"Yeah, I remember it very clearly."

"Then how come you still have time to do those things? Don't you know that your chances of winning the prize are now declining!"

Listening to that flat tone, Yinglili suddenly became angry. This person really didn't understand the situation. He was so angry!

"Yeah, I know that too." Hojo Kyousuke said with a smile.

That smile made Yinglili furious again. She bared her little tiger teeth and said unhappily:

"Ah, really, what's going on with your editor? Why can't we wait until you get the grand prize!"

Although she really wanted to scold the chore, the girl couldn't bear it, so she could only vent her anger on others.

"There's nothing we can do about it. Editor Shimomura also has his own things to consider."

Hojo Kyosuke smiled and didn't take it seriously. He just pinched Eri's arm with his arm. At this moment, the two were holding hands.

What happened to what Yinglili said? The most promising winner of this year's Neon Mystery Writers Association Award, Hojo Kyosuke, will be the next comic book in the mystery genre. This news has spread in a small area.

This wasn't a publicity ploy, it was a real surprise.

Although Hojo Kyosuke is not yet a pillar of "Weekly Shonen High", his status cannot be underestimated. His new work is not just the responsibility of the editor in charge, but the entire publishing house must pay attention to it. If necessary, the editor-in-chief Anyone can come and help him run errands. Oh, Tetsuya Shimomura is the editor-in-chief himself.

In short, his work is not a person's business and needs to be decided by the publisher and editor together. Editors do not simply urge manuscripts to secure publicity resources, but can also help to a certain extent with the work.

For example, Tetsuya Shimomura helped Hojo Kyosuke finalize the design of the character before, and his function is not just that. The design of the character, whether the theme of the comic will be welcomed by the market, and whether there are any logical problems in the setting of the plot. , whether it conforms to the basic rules of creation, and the plot development after reader feedback and discussion with the author... all of which are what editors can do.

Now that the magazine's top brand is about to open a new hole, Shimomura Tetsuya naturally has to keep a close eye on it. If it is cut in half in two or three weeks, the value of the name Hojo Kyosuke will be lost. So after learning about the plot related to the Death God elementary school student, he found relevant people to investigate.

Although Neon's household registration management seems to be chaotic, its credit reporting industry is the most developed in Asia. But to put it another way, it is precisely because of chaos that a developed credit reporting industry was born.

If the company wants to know whether the employee it is applying for is reliable, it entrusts a credit reporting company to investigate. The parents wanted to know if their son's fiancée had any bad experiences, so they commissioned a detective agency to investigate. The product research and development department wanted to know whether the new project would be popular, so it commissioned an investigation center to investigate...

Yes, Neon's detectives don't actually assist the police in investigating homicides, but mostly serve as information providers.

Relying on such a system, whether it is a TV series, comic, novel or other creative industries, investigations will be launched before official production.

After determining the theme and general content of Hojo Kyosuke's new work, Tetsuya Shimomura began research. Not only did we collect the historical achievements and current situation of mystery-themed comics from several comic magazines, we also used the authority of the editor to conduct questionnaire surveys in some close bookstores. Of course, consultation from relevant professionals was indispensable.

All in all, in one sentence, Hojo Kyosuke must confirm that his new work will be successful before he starts serializing it.

Of course this can't be 100% accurate, but this is all he can do for Hojo Kyousuke. And therein lies the problem.

Thanks to the big guys for your monthly votes, recommendation votes and reward support, thank you!
