Full-time cartoonist - #60 - Chapter 60 Result

Takayukihime introduced that she and Amano with the mocking face are both second-year members of the animation department of Musashino Art University, and the others range from freshmen to juniors.

The person in charge of animation supervision is their director, who is also a second-year student.

The name is Ozawa Hibiki, and he decided to produce this time’s “Four Major Public Diseases”.

Higashikata looked over and saw that the other person was a little shy and just nodded.

Hibiki glanced at Asahina, but she didn’t speak.

Just tell them that you are from Yanyan High School.

Because we are neighbors, the atmosphere is relaxed.

After chatting for a while, Amano and Xiao Binyi became familiar with each other. He put his hand on Xiao Binyi’s shoulder and said familiarly: “I’m sorry, I was unintentional just now.”

“However, to be pragmatic, I advise you to understand the concept of animation first. What do high school students know about animation? Study hard first and lay a good foundation. This is the most important thing.”

Xiao Binyi was smiling just now, but after hearing these words, his fists became hardened.

“Our animation is definitely more interesting than yours!”

Amano waved his hand and smiled, “Stop pretending, how is that possible?”

He looked like you were joking, but it really made him laugh.

“If you can win the best animation, I will…”

Just as Amano was about to say it, Nishimura and Kitamoto came over and pointed at Hibiki Hibiki, followed by someone behind them.

The person who left Amano stunned, dumbfounded, and in disbelief.

He had seen it many times on television, the man who made Nausicaa, Laputa and My Neighbor Totoro – Hayao Miyazaki.

The first person to make Japanese animated films, without exaggeration.

He is also the idol he admires and the driving force behind animation.

Amano couldn’t help but swallow the words he blurted out. He opened his mouth and was at a loss for a moment.

When he found that his hand was still on Xiao Binyi’s shoulder, he immediately took it back and stood upright.

Ozawa Hibiki took a step forward with an excited expression, but he was stunned when he saw Hayao Miyazaki walking straight towards Hibiki Higashino without paying any attention to him.

He thought it was because of the “Four Major Public Diseases”.

Hibiki Higashino was also surprised. This person was Hayao Miyazaki, who created many timeless classics that he watched when he was a child and still watch when he grew up.

“Hello, I’m Hayao Miyazaki. Are you Hibiki Higashino, the scriptwriter of “Hey-Come Out”?”

He stretched out his hand, and Hibiki bent his body to shake his hand.

“it’s me.”

After letting go of his hand, Miyazaki looked around at the crowd staring at them and frowned, “Can I disturb you?”

“My pleasure.”

Afterwards, they went to a hidden corner, and the people from Yanyan High School and Musashino looked at each other.

…

After sizing up Higashino Hibiki.

“Are you still a high school student?” Hayao Miyazaki was surprised. He was originally planning to win over Hibiki and join Ghibli. “You are so young and promising.”

He read “Hey – Come Out” three times. The advantage is not only the final stroke of genius, but also the rhythm of the whole story. It progresses layer by layer and the story is told smoothly.

It’s also great to be able to see the basic skills of the original author.

I just didn’t expect that he was only 18 years old.

“Yeah,” Higashikata nodded.

“But even if I am a college student, it will be difficult for me to enter Jibuli.”

Hayao Miyazaki frowned, “Don’t you look down on Jibuli?”

“Of course not,” Hibiki Higashino shook his head repeatedly, “Just like you drew Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, I am also drawing comics.”

“Draw comics?” Hayao Miyazaki didn’t believe it. He looked at the ink marks on Higashino’s fingertips and asked, “Which magazine is it from?”

“Weekly Shōnen Jump, a magazine owned by Shueisha.” Hibiki Higashino answered.

“Jump?” Hayao Miyazaki was stunned. He didn’t expect it to be the most famous comic magazine in Japan.

He suddenly came to his senses and looked at Hibiki Higashino carefully, “So you are Mirai Tori Akino, the author of “The Soul of the Game”.”

This is the only one who has serialized high school students and jumps since ancient times.

He used to lament that today’s young people are so amazing, but he didn’t expect to see them in person.

But this is a pity, it is difficult to impress him.

Hayao Miyazaki shook his head and put down this idea.

“The ideas about AI in your comics are very interesting and gave me some inspiration.”

Afterwards, they discussed comics. Hayao Miyazaki was still very busy at work, and the subsequent discussion on awards still required his vote, so he had to take the time to look at other works. After exchanging business cards with Hibiki Higashino, he took his leave.

When Higashino returned, Musashino’s students hadn’t left yet, looking at him eagerly.

Nishimura quickly asked: “What does Director Hayao Miyazaki want from you?”

“Invite me to join Jibuli,” Hibiki Higashino said frankly.

Amano was very jealous when he heard it, “I really envy you for being chosen by this great director.”

He became curious, what kind of work was it? Even Hayao Miyazaki was alarmed.

Nishimura was curious, “Then will you join Jibuli after graduating from college?”

Higashino Hibiki looked at them. Asahina, Amano, Takayukihime, and Ozawa Hibiki were all envious and jealous.

Then he spread his hands and said, “I refuse.”

“Hey! Why!”

Higashikata didn’t answer. In their disbelief, he left.

The animation festival will last for three days. The audience will go through all the works before the trophies will be awarded.

Hibiki Higashino wants to draw comics and doesn’t have that much time.

…

August 1, 7 p.m.

“So when I won the Best Animation Award and the Best Script Award, you weren’t even present?” Akimiya Akemi looked at him with a smile.

I am so patient and able to draw comics with peace of mind at such a critical moment.

“After all, my job is to draw comics, so I can’t put the cart before the horse.” Hibiya Hibiki replied.

He also wants to win an award live and hold the trophy for best script.

Looking at the stunned expressions of those who knew him in the audience.

It’s all because of the heavy workload of the weekly.

He turned on the TV and dialed the TV Asahi animation channel.

With the end of the opening animation, today’s content is broadcast as usual.

As a typhoon blew by, except for a temple that was blown away by the wind, there was no other damage.

Only a big hole appeared under the temple, which was bottomless.

The young people nearby shouted at the hole out of curiosity: “Hey – come out!”

When there was no response, he threw in another stone.

…

“I didn’t expect that the best animation would be broadcast on TV.” Akemi Akimiya said.

“Yeah,” Higashikata nodded.

The preparation time of TV Asahi was the evening time slot. After seeing the quality of the finished product, it was switched to the prime time slot when there were more students.

The original contract was a buyout, Hibiki Higashino was confident and calculated based on the ratings.

TV Asahi agreed.

There is no harm to them.

The main reason is that the concept of the work is very good and environmental protection will never go out of style.

It may give parents a new understanding of animation.

It’s not just entertainment, it can also be an inspiring textbook.

So he agreed to Higashino Hibiki’s request.

Another week passed, and Hibiki Higashino received 18 million yen with a ratings of 12%.

Satisfied.
