Full-time cartoonist - #160 - Chapter 158 Turning defeat into victory

“The results haven’t come out yet,” Hibiki Higashino said, “I will express my opinion at the last minute.”

Japanese creators have a lot of choice in the animation of their works.

There was such a scene in the animation “Shirobako” that he had watched before. The original refused to be produced by Musashino Animation Company for his work. The protagonist made a sincere request and showed his sincerity. After gaining the other party’s approval, After that, animation finally started.

It can be seen that the author’s own opinions are still very important, and he has the right to veto.

Higashikata chose carefully among the three.

Although Clown Club has collaborated before, the animation results of “Soul of Chess” are also particularly exciting.

But their production of “Yu Yu Hakusho” daunted Hibiki Higashino.

Although this cartoon received astonishing ratings, it received almost no feedback from the original work.

Horie Nobuhiko once criticized that the “Yu Yu Hakusho” animation is more like another work.

As for Rishengshe, it seems that this is not an animation production company to choose.

Sunrise Corporation, which is famous for its robots and Gundams, produced “Slam Dunk” to a level that Hibiki could not imagine. It might be pretty good, but it might also lead to violent death.

Moreover, more of Sunrise Society’s resources will be used on Gundam and “Super Demon Heroes”. Regarding the proportion of investment in “Slam Dunk”, Hibiki Higashino is a little worried.

The remaining Toei Animation Production Company is actually a good choice.

Toei Animation is one of the oldest animation production companies in Japan and has a glorious history. Masters Osamu Tezuka and Shotaro Ishimori both worked at Toei.

Many current famous animation masters, such as Hayao Miyazaki, Takahata, etc., all came from Toei Animation.

Such a company has the deepest cultural foundation. No matter what type of work it is, they can complete it without worrying about the effect of the finished product.

The most important thing is that Toei’s channels are great.

Not only does it own satellite channels, Toei also has a strong voice in TV Asahi.

Not to mention sales channels.

And not only in Japan, Toei in China and the United States can enjoy it. There have been many collaborations and have been introduced into works.

In the future, “Slam Dunk” will be promoted overseas, which will definitely be a help.

Works like “Slam Dunk” are popular all over the world. Audiences in other countries may even love this work more than local Japanese audiences.

Riding on Toei’s success, “Slam Dunk” will become a work with truly world-class influence.

The “Slam Dunk” animation he saw in his last life could be said to be above average in terms of production effects, and the setting and content of the “Slam Dunk” comic were not significantly changed.

Just added a few original plot points.

In the previous jump, there were “Dragon Ball” and “Yu Yu Hakusho”, so I didn’t pay too much attention to the production of “Slam Dunk”.

But now, the only thing the editorial department can rely on is “Slam Dunk”, so the animation of “Slam Dunk” must be more stringent to attract popularity for the comic.

Furthermore, Hibiki Higashino has the right to complete the work, so he won’t have a huge quarrel with Jump and Toei.

He did his own calculations and found that no matter what, he was much happier than Mr. Takehiko Inoue.

Toei seems good.

…

As a result, no decision has been made.

It’s mid-December, half a month has passed.

In “Slam Dunk”, Xiangbei won consecutive victories, winning all four games and entering the finals of the group.

It can be said that the situation is very good.

Except for Hanamichi Sakuragi, who was sent off in four games, the starting lineup of the Shohoku basketball team has become more and more stable, and has cultivated the momentum of a strong man through continuous victories.

But this time it was different. Shohoku’s opponent was Shoyo of the Kanagawa seed team.

Xiangyang is not a weak team that Shohoku has encountered before. In Kanagawa, apart from the king Hainan, the strongest team is Xiangyang.

Such a game is destined to be very difficult for Xiangbei.

At the same time, Tokai University in Japan also began to encounter a strong enemy, which was Senshu University, which ranked third in the 1994 Basketball League.

Although the results were not good last year, they are definitely a strong team.

The stadium’s auditorium was all full, and it looked densely packed with heads.

It was impossible for them to give up on such a game, and they were all looking forward to the wonderful fight between dragons and tigers with great interest.

Although the Specialized Basketball Team is a student basketball team, it actually has a group of regular fans. There were huge cheers at the scene, which inevitably made Yagami and the others nervous.

“If you win this game, then no matter what the result is in the next game, you can enter the national competition!”

It is this mentality, coupled with the pressure from the opponent’s fans, that the Tunghai University basketball team began to perform abnormally, closing in on the opponent and losing points one after another.

Some of them are already in their fourth grade. This is their last chance and the psychological pressure is very high.

As the game continued, Taketo Kanda became more and more nervous.

When he was in high school, he failed in the most critical game. Today’s game was the same as before.

It seemed that the stadium was like a reincarnation. As he ran on the pitch, he felt that his eyes were filled with darkness and he couldn’t hear anything.

…

Hibiki Higashino’s comic material today, watching this game in the audience, he was surprised by the one-sided situation.

Hibiki Higashino has studied the level of the two teams. Tokai cannot be said to have the upper hand, but it can also be said to be neck and neck.

The result was that he did not perform well.

At this moment, coach Donghai called a timeout.

Sure enough, not every coach is Anzai Guangxi, who can remain calm when facing a team that is at a disadvantage.

Hibiki Higashino watched the coach of the Tokai Basketball Team reprimanding the team members miserably. Although he couldn’t hear it in his ears, he still recorded the sound in his mind.

“Is this your fighting spirit?”

“Off the court, he said he wanted to dominate the country, but on the court he became a weakling!”

“What are you so nervous about? Don’t you dare to touch Senshu University!”

“We are ranked among the top three in the country!”

This timeout is mainly to interrupt the rhythm on the court. If this continues, there will be no hope for Donghai.

Takeru Kanda listened to the coach’s words, but his heart flew to the side.

He had no future in the first place, but now that he has a goal, he doesn’t have the courage he had before.

It’s no big deal, the worst is just losing a game, show your courage!

He kept cheering himself up, and then a voice came to his ears.

“Don’t be so embarrassed! Kanda!” He looked over and saw that it was Takago, standing on the second floor of the auditorium, looking at him with contempt while pressing his thumb down.

“Coward, you coward!”

The fire in Kanda Taketo’s heart was ignited. He stared at Takago angrily and shouted: “I must win!”

The words were so loud that the coach’s roar was interrupted.

He was stunned for a while, then clapped and said, “Yes, that’s it, that’s the idea! You guys should learn from Kanda.”

Hua Chao looked up at the bright lights on the ceiling and felt dizzy. The urgency in his heart finally calmed down.

Then he looked towards the auditorium and saw familiar people.

“That is……”

Hua Chao was stunned for a moment, then her expression became serious, “I must win!”

…

Thirty minutes later, the game was over.

The Tokai basketball team narrowly defeated Senshu University with a score of 89:86.

Except for being at a disadvantage at the beginning, they worked hard the rest of the time, evened the score in the second half, and finally surpassed the score and won.

Hua Chao looked at the audience and found that Hibiki Higashino had disappeared. The excitement of winning the game suddenly cooled down a bit.

“Won!”

Beside him, Kanda shed tears as he repaired the scars in his heart.

Yagami, a fourth-year college student, also opened his mouth in emotion, imagining himself shouting excitedly.

“You can enter the national competition!”

The Donghai basketball team was so excited that the members of the professional basketball team choked up.

In this touching picture, Hibiki Higashino pressed the shutter button.

Thanks to the passers-by in life, Luoluo, thank you for the reward.
