Full-time cartoonist - #74 - Chapter 74 The Garden of Words and Leaves
Three days later.
“Brother, long time no see, I miss you so much.”
While working at McDonald’s, Mei Higashino used a nearby phone booth to call Hibiki Hibiki.
“Mei, I miss you too,” Higashino Hibiki put the phone on his shoulder while drawing storyboards.
It’s true that I haven’t seen my sister for a long time. I don’t know what the situation is, but she is as busy as myself. Occasionally I go home twice, but I always stay away from her.
My mother, Higashino Higashikata, once joked, “You two come to accompany us alternately.” I’m not old yet, and I’m already enjoying the feeling that we have when we grow up and work.
“Do you still have enough living expenses?” Higashikata asked, and then said with a smile: “Sister, our family is rich, and we can arrange anything we want.”
After becoming a cartoonist and making money, Hibiki Hibiki was confident. When facing Mei Higashino, he also experienced the happiness of rich people.
“No, I don’t have any place to spend money here,” Higashino Mei refused. She glanced at the McDonald’s store. Today, there was a senior voice actor who took her to experience part-time working life.
“By the way, brother, is “Hey-Come Out” your script?” Mei Higashino asked.
Someone came to the school to recruit voice actors before, and she actively signed up. Because her voice is unique, sharp and cute, it is easy to leave an impression on the audience.
So it was chosen.
She voiced many characters in it, including the host, the female partner of the couple, the policeman and the puppy.
So I know the script very well, and it’s the kind of work that is sure to be brilliant.
The ending is particularly shocking.
She saw the author of the script on the cover, his name was Hibiki Higashino.
At that moment, her heart felt like thousands of horses galloping and a volcano erupting.
After carefully asking the supervisor Yuko Asahina, she was indeed from Yan Yan High School, and she had the urge to give up.
Higashino Mei is not yet ready to tell her family about becoming a voice actress.
After all, in this day and age, people who work in animation are always looked down upon.
But this was really a good opportunity, so she gritted her teeth and persisted.
Sure enough, not long after, “Hey – Come Out” began to be broadcast on the TV station.
As a result, her voice acting career also became…
In fact, there is no change. It can only be added in the introduction that he once served as the protagonist of “Feed-Out”.
Because of this work, no one will pay attention to the voice actors.
It just gave her a stepping stone.
Mei Higashino has been working hard as a voice actress since junior high school, and it has been almost five years now.
After participating in Hibiki Higashino’s works, I finally stepped into the door.
This time in “The Guardian of the Zodiac”, she got a passerby role. She only appeared in half of the episodes of the animation, but she was already very satisfied.
Therefore, Mei Higashino was deeply impressed by “Hey – Come Out”, which was a work that changed her current situation.
“It’s me,” Hibiki Higashino nodded, “My classmate wanted to participate in the animation festival and asked me to write a script. Because I was very sincere, I wrote this work.”
“As expected of a big brother,” Higashino Mei said with admiration, “You are so strong!”
“Haha.” Others said this, and Hibiki Higashikata felt a little guilty, after all, he had plagiarized other people’s works.
But when his sister said this, Hibiki was only proud.
An older brother wants to establish a tall image in front of his younger sister. The original teacher Shinsei I would not blame him.
After comforting himself, Hibiki Higashi felt at ease.
“Teacher,” he was on the phone. Oda came over with the finished manuscript. He was responsible for the background of the painting. At this time, he said confidently: “I have painted it all, there must be no problem.”
Hibiki stopped drawing the storyboard, took Oda’s painting and took a look at it.
“No, go and change it.”
“Ah, what’s the problem? I did everything as you asked.”
“this……”
Hibiki stopped, turned around and said to Mei Higashino: “I’m still busy here, so I’ll hang up now and I’ll get back to you later.”
“I won’t disturb you anymore, brother.”
Higashino Mei waited for a busy signal on the phone before hanging up.
She is now pursuing her dream smoothly and sees her older brother, who had no goals before, become happy and go to work singing and dancing.
…
After Eiichiro Oda joined Hibiki Studio, he realized his shortcomings in comics. He has been working very hard recently and has been trying to improve.
Yoshihiro Togashi’s “Yu Yu Hakusho” is already very strong, but in the early days, Mr. Togashi’s drawing skills were very poor, and his achievements were supported by interesting plots.
He was neither arrogant nor impetuous. While drawing comics, he learned the techniques of other authors. His drawing skills grew, and this was how Yoshihiro Togashi came to be.
Oda decided to learn from Togashi, and after doing a good job as an assistant, he stayed for two hours to improve himself under the guidance of Hibiki Higashino.
only……
Lying on the dining table to draw, he couldn’t bear the pain in his back. Looking at the paintings on the table, he couldn’t help complaining, “Teacher Tori Akino, when will I have my work table?”
“Sorry, Oda-san,” Hibiki Higashino was drawing, “There is really no space in the living room. If you hold on for a while longer, we will move into a new studio in more than a month.”
“Damn it!” Oda gritted his teeth and looked at the drawing in front of him, as if he was the one who killed his father and his enemy, he continued to draw hard.
Higashino Hibiki looked at Oda’s back and cheered him on.
Suddenly, he felt someone poke his arm. He turned around and saw that it was Akimiya Akemi.
She asked curiously in a low voice: “It’s enough for me and Yoshii-kun to serve as assistants, right? Why did you find another assistant?”
Hibiki Higashino explained: “Mr. Akira Toriyama didn’t need an assistant at the beginning, so why did he let the two of us help him draw comics?”
“Are you talking about comic short stories?” Akimiya Akemi became interested. In order to help Toriyama Kazuhiko, Toriyama Akira serialized “Arale Returns Slightly” in “VJUMP”, “Did Mr. Toriyama also ask you to draw a short story? ?What kind of work is it?”
Hibiki Higashino shook his head, “I wanted to draw it myself, but it should be submitted to “VJUMP”.”
“As for what kind of work it is,” Hibiki Higashino handed her the storyboard of the first episode, “please take a look at it yourself.”
This is what he took the time to draw during this period, only the first episode.
“It’s called “The Garden of Words”? What a beautiful name.” After reading the title on the cover, Akimiya Akemi turned to the first page and was instantly shocked.
“Is this still a storyboard?” she murmured to herself, “Even the background is so exquisitely drawn that it could be serialized.”
“Serialization will have higher requirements,” Hibiki Higashino said: “When readers see it, they will feel like they have seen the summer rainy season. It is full of life, green trees, sparkling water, and continuous rain.”
“I plan not to use dotted paper, but all paintings. This will bring a sense of refinement and aesthetics. Isn’t it very bold?” Hibiki Higashino asked.
Siheyuan fan, the content is sophisticated and not brainless.
