"Even if the matter at AKB firm is solved... But I still have some things to ask Miss Hasegawa... I heard that you rejected a lot of animations or Japanese versions of movies... and even some TV series theme songs have been rejected?"

The matter of Hasegawa Riko has come to an end, and that is not a big deal.

Compared to AKB, Higashinoji wants to know more about why Riko Hasegawa has been rejecting the invitation to audition.

The other party had said before that he only dubbed Higashinoji's works... But at that time, Higashinoji only thought that Hasegawa Riko was polite and did not care too much about it.

After all, the other party is very talented and can become popular when you find an opportunity. There is no need to be obsessed with him at all.

As a result, Higashinoji didn't expect that Riko Hasegawa had really wanted to fulfill her promise recently. Not only did she turn down many famous office invitations, but she also looked like "I'll follow you, even if you don't want me to help, it's okay, I'll follow you."

This made Higashinoji a little speechless.

Obviously, the other party can get many good performance opportunities whenever he finds a famous firm. Not only is it easy to become famous, but there are also great opportunities...

It was Higashinoji who took advantage of this matter unilaterally, and he felt it was not appropriate, so he wanted to ask Riko Hasegawa what she thought.

"I promised Teacher Higashino before." Hasegawa Riko lowered her head shyly and said in a low voice.

Then she was afraid that Higashinoji would misunderstand, so she hurriedly added: "Even if there is no role, it's okay. I can run my sukiyaki shop and I will never cause trouble for you, Mr. Higashino."

"..." Higashinoji.

Even without a character, it's OK...? Then there's nothing wrong.

Besides, since the other party said so, Higashinoji really has nothing to say.

Higashinoji pondered, and just thought about it and replied, "When I have animation adaptation or other work, please trouble Miss Hasegawa."

Higashinoji chatted with Riko Hasegawa for a while before sending her out.

The whole thing here has come to an end.

As for whether Urashima Publishing House has any animation adaptations...

Higashinoshi is not worried.

His comic book sells very well, and the plot is particularly suitable for adaptation. I believe that there will be a lot of things to do in the near future.

Just like that, a day passed directly-

As the president of AKB firm said, there were negative announcements about Riko Hasegawa and all kinds of negative rumors that were clarified.

They were very efficient in their work. They also found a well-known newspaper to report this incident, saying that it was caused by the mistakes of internal staff. The staff member has been fired. They sincerely apologized for the rumor and the "Midnight Bell" production team that caused this time and the victimized "Midnight Bell" production team, and ensured that such things that damage others' image would not happen again.

This is very convincing news.

Because the publisher is AKB, the former boss of Hasegawa Riko.

They stood up at this time, which naturally made the discussion about Hasegawa Riko on the Internet silent. Many people said, "My youth is back." No need to worry about the production team of "Midnight Bell" who finds a voice actor with misbehavior.

After this storm, the popularity of "Midnight Bell" has risen to a higher level, and it continues to continue to move up the box office, which is completely gratifying.

Putting aside "Midnight Bell", Urashima Publishing House editorial department also attaches great importance to Higashinoji.

As the author of the main board, everyone sees Higashinoji's performance.

Even if he is the top ten people in the history of "Aversion to Cold" in the founding of the history of the founding of the newspaper "Aversion to Cold".

Not to mention the outstanding performance of "Unnatural Death" this time-

"Unnatural Death" is expected to hit the average of 1.5 million volumes..." Seeing Higashinoji's "Unnatural Death" ranked 670,000 volumes in just four days, ranking first in the credibility list, Oshima Homoto, the editor of Urashima Publishing House, couldn't help but murmur.

He was the first to review the "Midnight Bell" with Koharu Hosokawa.

At that time, he only felt that Higashinoji was a horror manga, and he should be able to be a small pillar in Urashima Publishing House. It would be a bit difficult to defeat Suzuki Ha who changed jobs.

What unexpectedly happened was that after a year, Higashinoji not only became the pillar of Urashima Publishing House, but also pressed the other two major publishing houses to the ground and repeatedly rubbed them.

Now it will be even more important to increase the sales of 1.5 million volumes...

This is indeed something I haven't seen in Urajima Publishing House for a long time.

If Urashima Publishing House was glorious in the past, it had a record of 1.5 million volumes of sales...even more than 1.5 million volumes, the real sales ceiling of the single-line comic book of Urashima Publishing House in "The Cold" was 2.5 million volumes of sales.

But that was just the glorious time before.

When Suzuki Ha was at the back, the sales of 800,000 or 900,000 volumes were already considered as the pillar level... When other publishers saw one or two of the one million volumes and two million volumes sold, Urashima Publishing House could only drool and envy.

But now it's different!

Urashima Publishing House has completely stood up!

The era of robotic hot-blooded comics has passed, and now it’s time for us to turn over again.

What brought about this change was the author of "Midnight Bell" that he watched last year.

"Oh, sorry." Oshima Homo sapiens sighed.

If he could make up his mind at that time, he would have snatched Higashinoji from Koharu Hosokawa.

Then isn’t Higashinoji’s performance all his?

This is indeed a bit regrettable.

"I just don't know how many 10,000 volumes can be reached this time... One million and 500,000 volumes are at most. It's estimated that 1.5 million copies must be maintained at most. Teacher Higashino must always maintain the quality of the comic plot... It's not that easy to rush."

The colleague editor who accompanied him to have a drink after work sighed and said, "To maintain a high-intensity serialization, at the same time, we must consider various things such as animation, film, and TV drama in the future... In this case, we must maintain quality... Especially, Teacher Higashino doesn't seem to hire an assistant, right? This is too scary, right?"

really.

Generally, comic authors have lost all their hair just by considering these things. After all, human energy is limited, unless you are a printer, it is impossible—

"Teacher Higashino is just a printer... It's the first time I've seen someone draw comics like this... I heard that his oil paintings were recently exhibited in the National Art Museum... If you say that he is not a printer, I'm not convinced."

Another colleague editor also added.

Although the Art Creation Awards that Higashinoji participated at the beginning of the year were taken away by the Minister of Science Award of the Ministry of Culture and Culture, many people also paid attention to it.

When Tebi was named Jin Bao, everyone felt that this was a bit familiar.

Higashinoji's name was once again on the Golden Bounty, and at the same time it was his painting "Summer is over".

This result really makes people feel like an unexpected and reasonable ending.

But soon some participants reported to the competition committee whether they could remove Higashino from the level of young authors.

After all, his level completely suppresses the level of the same age, which is simply unfair.

As soon as this sentence was said, many people responded, saying that Higashinoji's level was too illegal and unfair - he should be allowed to participate in other adult competitions.

Some people even directly doubted whether Higashinoji had someone painted on his behalf.

Because whether it is "Tokyo Sunset Impression" or "Tokyo" that won the double gold prize at the Tokyo Youth Painting Appreciation, or the current "Summer is over", Higashinoji has shown that he should not have at his age.

This incident was quite a big deal at that time, and it was all reported to the editorial department of Urashima Publishing House.

However, as the organizer, the five major art academies in Tokyo did not pay attention to such deliberate trouble. The five major art academies only drafted an announcement, hoping that the contestants could look at their works more rationally.

After all, with the prizes such as gold and silver, there are only more than a dozen winners at most.

Even if Higashinoji really painted it by someone else? Kick him off the golden reward, it’s not your turn to win the prize.

This is indeed the case, but the explanation of the five major art academies in Tokyo is naturally not recognized by these participating young people.

These young people who failed in the Art Creation Awards were so sad about Higashinoji's achievements.

Some people simply think that it is impossible for them to design Kumamoto while drawing comics, and to improve their oil painting skills at the same time.

Drawing comics and painting oil paintings are completely different things.

This is true no matter where you are. People are like this, and there is always a kind of enmity with the rich.

If you are richer than me, you must have a ghost. You must have done something ulterior motive, otherwise how could you be richer than me?

Rumors like this are prevalent, even today.

"These people are still too young. I have never seen Higashino draw by himself, so I say that."

Oshima Homo smirked and took another sip of wine.

Rather than paying attention to these, it is better to pay attention to the next single volume sales of "Unnatural Death".

The next single-book sales volume will determine whether "Unnatural Death" can reach an important difference in the sales volume of 1.5 million volumes.

If the expected goals can be achieved, it means that the theme of "Unnatural Death" is stable, and Higashinoji has entered the sales ceiling of comics and becomes one of them. Maybe it can also drive the rise of the comic theme of "forensic doctor", and maybe it can also become the name of the father of Japanese professional comics or the first person - following the trend, no matter which country it is in.

If the expected goals cannot be achieved, we can only expect Higashinoji's next comic to bring better performance.

All of this depends on the plot of Higashinoji's chapter six.

Let’s see if this sixth chapter can carry forward the good foundation of the first five chapters.

Homo sapiens Oshima didn't know Higashinoji, but when he could reach the sales ceiling of comics, even outsider, was a little nervous.

If this pressure was put on Higashinoji... I wonder what would happen to him?

......

"The plot of the sixth episode? Oh... it's absolutely fine." Higashinoji answered the phone and replied with a smile: "I'm already preparing for the seventh episode now, it's quite relaxing... There's no pressure. In addition, I would like to congratulate editor Hosokawa for being promoted. I heard that you have successfully upgraded to the team leader?"

"... Upgrading the team leader is just a trivial matter... I will go to your place to pick up the manuscript tomorrow." Hosokawa Koharu recorded on the paper: "I also want to congratulate you on your new work for being a hit... Since there is no pressure, it is the best."

Although Hosokawa Koharu says this, she is actually under pressure now.
To be continued...
