Chapter 332. It's not easy (4000 words)(1/2)
Afterwards, Koharu Hosokawa informed Higashinoji about the sales of the first volume of "Hanzawa Naoki".
When the editorial department unanimously agreed that the first volume of "Hanzawa Naoki" was reprinted and the sales of more than 2.5 million copies were not difficult, Higashinoji was also slightly surprised.
As mentioned earlier, Higashinoji wanted to use the comic "Hanzawa Naoki" to impact the world's number one manga on the ceiling.
The average sales volume of the opponent's volume when he finished the book reached a terrifying four million copies, which is indeed a bit difficult to mess with.
But "Hanzawa Naoki" created such a good result in the first volume alone, and it was not so difficult to achieve when the book was completed.
As long as Higashinoji can stabilize the plot and painting skills of "Hanzawa Naoki", he may be able to set a new record for single-line sales of Japanese comics when the book is finished.
In this, there is no need to mention the painter. Higashinoji's painting skills have never been worried. As long as the left and right hands are not interrupted and forced to draw with his feet, there are indeed few comic writers who can beat him in the painter.
And the plot...? The Japanese drama "Hanzawa Naoki" was called a phenomenal hot drama in the workplace at that time. The plot was very tightly grasped. Not to mention anything else, at least the Japanese like to watch it very much.
According to Higashinoji, there is absolutely no problem if this momentum continues.
The evidence is that there are more and more remarks on the Internet about office workers suffering, tiredness, oppression by colleagues and superiors.
Most of these remarks revolve around the comic work "Hanzawa Naoki".
Perhaps some people may find it a bit exaggerated, just a comic resonates with so many people.
But think about it on the other hand, the greater the resonance this causes, the more angry the group of office workers is, the more it shows that the unspoken rules in Japanese companies are headaches, and even depressed to vomit blood.
In the Japanese environment, office workers will be considered to be unprosperous once they are fired, and due to the lifelong employment system, being fired will become a stain on their careers.
Some people may say that they will resign without waiting for the company to be fired...
[Reading Benefits] Follow the public.. Account [Book Friends Base Camp], read books every day to get cash/point coins!
This is indeed a solution. Japan also says that "resignation is the only weapon for office workers."
But... it is not impossible to change jobs, but after you change jobs once, you will give a reason for why you want to change jobs next time, and it should be convincing, because in the eyes of most Japanese entrepreneurs, employees who abandoned their former company are not trustworthy.
Under this pressure, there is also the exclusion between colleagues and the deliberate difficulties of superiors. If you are not careful, you will be involved in the struggle of the company faction...
Otherwise, how could Japanese office workers have one of the groups with the highest suicide rates?
This is the reason.
These companies' unspoken rules are hidden very deeply, but all of this is revealed by "Hanzawa Naoki" and displayed to everyone.
This certainly makes many office workers feel very aware of it.
This sense of identity has already vaguely formed a trend of social public opinion, and may be directly ignited on one day, which will truly make people pay attention to it.
In addition to this, in "Hanzawa Naoki", the protagonist Naoki Hanzawa's face, which was tense and had a very strong facial expression, was also imitated by many lovers.
After imitating, they complained, saying that there is no such male presence in reality that even "smiling with a face" is possible. Even if "Hanzawa Naoki" is to be live-action and TV dramatically, it is impossible to find actors like Hanzawa Naoki in the comics!
How could an actor speak with a tense face and exert force?
Higashinoji fans called it "Hanzawa Naoki-style expression" and felt that no one could do it.
When Higashinoji saw these comments, he didn't have time to comment. He just felt that these fans still had too little knowledge and had never seen an actor like Masato Sakai.
After browsing the specific situation, Higashinoji turned off the comments on the Internet and called Konoma Tsuma.
He also wanted to tell Konoma about Konoma about the matter with Konoma Lianghua.
......
"Ah? Lianghua will not come back this year?"
When I heard Higashinoji's phone call, Konomiya was stunned for the first time to react to Ma, and the second reaction was - Higashinoji was planning to wear his little cotton jacket away?
Konoha has always been very concerned about Konoha's cold flower, but I have never known how to express it.
But when facing Higashinoji, he could still act as an elder: "Hitoye, what do you mean?"
"That means that Lianghua wants to stay in Tokyo during the Chinese New Year." Higashinoji replied happily.
"Are you sure it's Lianghua who wants to stay in Tokyo?" Koma Tsuma couldn't hold back his emotions when he listened to Higashinoji's happy voice.
He seriously suspected that Higashinoji had deceived his own little cabbage and let her stay in Tokyo. His speech was a little stronger, and he wanted to use this to suppress Higashinoji and force him to speak out the truth.
But Higashinoji didn't take this trick at all, and he still smiled and replied as usual: "Yes, father-in-law to Ma."
"Don't call me father-in-law! I just want to ask you if it means cold flowers."
"See what you said, Dad is indeed Liang Hua's own thoughts."
“…”
Listening to this sentence "Dad", Koma Tsuma had nothing to say on the spot.
He also understood.
Conventional methods are useless for young people like Higashinoji!
Not to mention anything else, Higashinoji is always happy and always smiling, and with a persevering attitude, it is not a personality that ordinary young people can have.
This left Koma speechless.
You should know that my prospective son-in-law is a well-known celebrity among the young generation of Japanese. He also watched the new comic "Hanzawa Naoki", which is indeed very good.
And what about it?
Higashinoji was unwilling to relax at all when it came to his daughter's problem, and he looked like "I've settled your cabbage."
What else can he say?
After all, you are now rated as "The No. 1 Promising Youth" by the Kyushu Daily! Why can't you see the demeanor of "The No. 1 Youth" when you get to your side?
Koma was speechless to Ma for a long time, and finally said, "I want to go and ask Lianghua in person."
Then he hung up the phone and called Konomiya Lianghua.
He wanted to ask himself what happened to Konosuke Lianghua.
After all, it is my own daughter. As long as you ask carefully, there should be no problem.
but...
"Lianghua...don't answer my phone?"
Koma Tsuma listened to the prompt sound of "The user is busy" in his ear, and couldn't help but open his mouth and look shocked.
But he was not surprised for a long time, and soon he thought of Higashinoji. If Higashinoji had not been deliberately instructed, he would have absolutely no believer.
After all, my daughter has always been soft-hearted.
After Koma thought about this relationship, he couldn't help but shake his head again. The action that he wanted to call Higashinoji again stopped.
There is indeed no need to call.
If Konomiya didn't want to stay in Tokyo, even if Higashiji advised her, it wouldn't be of much use.
It must be because my daughter wants to stay in Tokyo, so she was moved.
Since rounding is considered his daughter's idea, there is no need for him, a father, to continue asking.
but...
"I thought about it and I haven't been to Tokyo for a long time."
Konoha murmured to the horse.
In recent years, I have been busy with work. On the one hand, I feel guilty about Konomiya Lianghua and feel that I have not given her the fatherly and motherly love she deserves. On the other hand, I do have too many things to do and I don’t care about her at all.
The recent things have almost been resolved, and Kobashi is also considering the relationship between himself and his daughter.
This time I went to Tokyo... Maybe it was a turning point.
Thinking of this, Konobu thought about Ma for a while and called his younger brother.
......
On the other hand, as soon as Higashinoji hung up the phone, Konomi Ryoka had already knocked on the door curiously and told Higashinoji that his father had called and several calls came.
This made Higashinoji admire his father-in-law's perseverance. He smiled and said to Konomi Ryoka: "It seems that my father-in-law really cares about Ryoka, otherwise he wouldn't have made so many calls."
"Hey? My father?" Konoe Lianghua looked at Higashinomi suspiciously, looking a little hesitant: "No... My father and I had a cold face as soon as they met. He always treated me..."
She didn't say much after she said this.
Higashinoji shook his head.
Koma must have cared about his daughter very much, but many of his actions cannot be conveyed, so Koma Lianghua always felt that her father actually didn't care about her at all.
This family problem is quite complicated and cannot be solved by Higashinoji. The most important thing is whether Kobayashi can show kindness to his daughter seriously.
He, an outsider, was inexplicably anxious.
And...this made four or five calls in a row.
Higashinoji would even doubt whether Konoma would have arrived in Tokyo from Aomori Prefecture.
Probably not?
There is still such a big stall in the Komway family waiting for him to clean up.
However... To be on the safe side, Higashinoji still asked Kotakito to leave an extra ticket for future needs.
To be continued...
