She was fighting with the marketing department next door a few days ago for this thing, but Higashinoji suddenly asked...

But forget it.

Hosokawa Koharu found the data and replied: "The luxurious set of "Hanzawa Naoki" sold a total of 150,000 copies."

There are 150,000 sets, each volume is priced at 2,200 yen. Higashinoji draws a commission of 220 yen, and it can be converted into more than 30 million yen.

Although this thing feels ridiculous when sold, it is really profitable and effortless.

No wonder so many comic authors come up with a set set.

There is no reason here.

Higashinoji asked about Hosokawa Koharu again and thought that he could almost hang up the phone, Hosokawa Koharu there suddenly spoke:

"By the way, Teacher Higashino, do you have time tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?"

"If it was Hosokawa editor who invited me to dinner, I would have time no matter when."

Higashinoji laughed and made a joke.

"Well...serious, Mr. Higashino."

Hosokawa Koharu coughed twice, not particularly caring about Higashinoji's attitude of being neither big nor small in front of her.

After all, the relationship between them is so good that they can be tied with each other on the street.

When "Hanzawa Naoki" became popular last time, Hosokawa Koharu even gave Higashinoji a hug.

"Yeah, you said."

The other party said so, and of course Higashinoji was correcting his attitude and did not continue to joke.

"Didn't Teacher Higashino join the New Century Art Association funded by our Toshima Publishing House? It's about the matter there."

"Oh...this is true."

Higashinoji remembered it all at once.

Before he went to Kouwei Lianghua's hometown, Kyoyama Fumita from the New Century Art Association had already come to him to say hello.

He was also invited to join the New Century Art Association, and Higashinoji also named him the honorary vice president.

Although I didn't enjoy much of the actual discount, a vice president of the other party was willing to find himself and invited him to join...

To be honest, Higashinoji still admires him more.

At the same time, Higashinoji also sighed a little.

It's too easy to become a member of the Art Association.

Compared with the difficulty he was in the Celestial Empire in his previous life, it was nothing.

During the Celestial Empire, if you want to become a professional painter, you must first work hard to become a member of the Art Association.

Then to become a member of the Artists Association, you must find a good teacher, study hard, and create hard...

After a period of creation, you have to participate in the art exhibition and win the award. Only after you win the award can you have an entrance ticket to the Art Association and become a member.

After becoming a member, you have to continue to repeat the process of participating in the exhibition and winning awards, and then you can go from an "unknown" member of the Art Association to a professional painter who "has a little fame and will not starve to death."

This is simply too difficult.

Higashinoji was the one who came out of such a sea of ​​blood.

As for those painters of his same period?

Either switch to the design industry, or give up full-time painting and go to another job.

In this life, Higashinoji did nothing.

I only received the gold rewards of the Tokyo Youth Award and the Creation Award, and became a member of the association.

This certainly made him feel a little moved.

Put aside these suffering history in Higashinoji's previous life.

He actually learned from the president of Toshima Publishing House that the Toshima Publishing House is actually the Toshima Publishing House standing behind the New Century Art Association.

Correspondingly, the Uesugi Art Association is an emerging art association funded by the current Iwatsuki Publishing House.

The grievances between these two giant publishing houses have long radiated to the traditional Japanese painting world.

No one wants to let go of this cake.

"Well, Teacher Higashino, you know these...that saves a lot of time to explain."

Hosokawa Koharu thought, "If Teacher Higashino pays attention to the situation in the Japanese painting industry, he will find that the current situation of the New Century Art Association is actually a bit weak."

"The reason is that the last vice president of the New Century Art Association brought nearly half of the influential members to the Uesugi Art Association."

Hosokawa Koharu explained word by word.

However, Higashinoji had seen these things on the Internet news long ago.

Fumita Kageyama was introduced to take over the mess of the New Century Art Association, and the other party also found him, the comic author.

But these have little to do with Higashinoji.

He is at most a first-class comic book writer now.

But in the traditional Japanese painting world, he is a second-rate professional painter.

He doesn't think that his influence in the comics world can radiate to the traditional painting world.

After all, Higashinoji had experience in the painting world of the Celestial Dynasty in his previous life.

Even in the Celestial Empire, the traditional painting world was famous for paying attention to the relationship between predecessors and juniors, and the relationship between master and apprentice.

Not to mention Japan, a country that talks about the relationship between pre and juniors the most.

He is now barely considered a newcomer to the traditional painting industry in Japan, and he cannot change the dilemma of the New Century Art Association.

Even if Kageyama Fumita, who invited Higashinoji to join the New Century Art Association, only valued his comics' influence among the younger generation.

It seemed that he could see Higashiji's thoughts, Hosokawa Koharu immediately added:

"Actually, this is not trying to let Teacher Higashino take the initiative to cheer for the New Century Art Association...but..."

"But what?" Higashinoji asked.

"But I hope that Mr. Higashino, you can participate in the next group art exhibition of the New Century Art Association."

Hosokawa Koharu hesitated for a while and finally made it clear.

Higashinoji also suddenly realized this.

oh...

So that's the case.

Isn’t it just to let yourself draw a painting and put it in the exhibition?
