Chapter 329 Tokyo Big Sight Exhibition
Yurikamome Line, get off at TOKYO BIG SIGHTS Station (Tokyo Big Sight).
Even in the morning, thousands of people have already gathered here.
Kaoru Uesugi did not expect that there would be so many people, even the overpass from the station was crowded, and there was a lot of noise in his ears.
"There are a lot of people." Aiyi kept tiptoing, trying to see their destination among the crowd.
But unfortunately, her small body has never been able to see.
Brothers and sisters who were taller than her blocked her view one after another.
"How long will it take?" Uesugi Kai looked at the flow of people in front of him, it was already crowded to the point where it was impossible to move.
The Yurikamome Line tram departs to the next stop after the passengers have finished walking.
"It should. It won't be long."
"Sister Hanabi hug." Aiyi, who was on tiptoe vigorously, stopped and said while tugging at Hanamaru Hanabi's skirt.
"Does Aiyi want to look outside?" Hanamaru Hanabi lowered her head and said to her.
"Yeah." Aiyi raised her face.
Hanamaru Hanabi can't actually see it, she can only see a bunch of heads at her height.
Among the group of people present, only Kai Uesugi could see the front through the crowd.
This is probably the tragedy of average height.
"Let my brother hug me, my sister can't see it either."
Aiyi had no choice but to look at Uesugi Kai.
Uesugi Kai and Hanamaru Hanabi switched positions, squatted down to hold her in his arms, and put in a little effort when they hugged her legs.
"It's really heavy, I must have stolen the cake."
Qian Aiyi said by his side: "Aiyi secretly buys cakes with the money my father gave me every day."
Kaoru Uesugi said to Aiyi on his hand: "Every day after you eat the cake, you still eat so much?"
"Not much at all." Aiyi retorted with a child's soft and cute voice.
"Not much, don't you always say that you can eat with your face in the future? How can you make money with your face?"
"Fat can be beautiful."
Being hugged, Aiyi's field of vision is much wider.
Looking at the flow of people passing through the overpass of the station, you can clearly see the Tokyo Big Sight, which is composed of four triangles.
Uesugi Kai didn't pay attention to these, but was silent for a few seconds to Aiyi, "It's just an excuse for wanting to eat cake?"
"Brother, what kind of building is that?"
"Don't change the subject."
Kai Uesugi felt that this was what she learned from herself. When she didn't want to answer a certain question, she often avoided it by changing the subject.
It's not that she didn't notice that she was often led astray in the past, but that she didn't care much.
After a short pause, he said, "Tokyo Big Sight, today your sister Huahuo's work is inside."
"What are you doing? Cook?"
"Not a chef, but a painter."
"What is a painter?"
"The teacher who draws."
"Is sister Huahuo a teacher?" Qian Aiyi asked.
Kai Uesugi turned his head and explained to her: "It is not a teacher who teaches, but a respectful title for a person of knowledge or craftsmanship. Sister Huahuo was invited to help promote the novel because she is good at drawing."
"That's it."
"Oh."
Aiyi didn't listen much, her attention was all on that strange big building, but she still gave an 'oh'.
In the crowd under the big building, there are many people wearing colorful clothes.
"Lots of green hair."
"cosplay."
"This Aiyi knows, it's imitating the characters in the anime."
"Well, smart, do you want me to praise you?"
"No, brother won't praise others."
"how do you know?"
"Sister Huahuo bit my brother today."
"."
Uesugi Kai didn't want to quarrel with Xiao Aiyi, she always said some weird words, these words were not something she could say at her age, but she had completely integrated these words into her atmosphere, and she always seemed like a Weird kid.
I've just been happier lately.
There were a lot of people, and several people barely got out of the station after being blocked for more than ten minutes.
After he came out, he found that the people at the station were just sesame spots, and the people who entered the venue could be described as a sea of people.
A well-planned entrance road is dark and full of people.
Kaoru Uesugi had never been to a comic exhibition, so he really didn't expect there to be so many people.
It's a hot day, aren't you afraid of the heat?It's not open yet.
A few people stood by the side of the road first, and did not merge into the crowd first.
Aiyi: "A lot of people."
"Well, there are indeed many, but don't worry, we have a dedicated channel."
Kaoru Uesugi waited here for a while, and a 50-year-old man in a suit wearing square-frame glasses came from the other side of the crowd.
He bent over and held out his hand.
"Mr. Uesugi."
"Well, hello, Editor-in-Chief." Kaoru Uesugi shook the hand he handed over enthusiastically.
Kawaishaburo nodded to Hanamaru Hanabi again, "Mr. Hanamaru."
"Hello."
Hanamaru Hanabi responded with a very polite gesture.
In the end, Kawasaburo greeted the two little lolis beside her, and finally made gestures and invited:
"It's too hot outside, let's invite the four advanced venues, I will trouble Teacher Hanamaru for today's work."
"it's okay no problem."
Along the hot concrete road all the way up the stairs to enter the Tokyo Big Sight.
Entering through the glass door, there are many neatly arranged exhibition booths, and there are many pictures and flags of anime characters on each location.
"We are here in the enterprise zone. Today we have two booths. They mainly sell illustrations and signed versions of novels for fans. They are all hard-printed versions. Many fans also lined up overnight, and they were quite enthusiastic."
While listening to editor Kawago's commentary, Kai Uesugi observed the busy people in the venue.
It seems that this exhibition is more like a free market, where everyone sells peripherals and anime fans.
"Don't you need a ticket for this exhibition?"
Editor Chuanhe nodded: "Well, no, it will be needed in special circumstances. There are still too many people. It is held twice a year. In the winter festival last year, there were more than 4 people in 70 days."
"It's more than 70? The daily traffic is at least 15. Does the company have enough merchandise?"
Kai Uesugi was a little surprised. Even if each person only spent 100 yen, the transaction volume of this exhibition in 4 days would be 7000 million yen.
And what kind of money is 100 yen, it's too little.
The editor of Chuanhe said with a wry smile: "It's not enough at all. The enterprise zone is not like the fan zone. The surrounding area of the enterprise zone is usually limited to venues. Many people can only stay up late a few days in advance to queue up to buy, and the reserves are getting smaller and smaller every day. In the doujinshi area, a group of operators change every day, and they are all personal works. We are limited to the venue here, and Mr. Hanamaru has never released an art collection, this time the art collection of "Miss Miko is a Fox Demon" is quite popular."
"So crazy?" Uesugi Kai had never queued overnight in his life, let alone came a few days earlier.
"It's the love for the work." Editor Chuanhe glanced at Hanamaru Hanabi, and then said with a smile, "It's also because Mr. Hanamaru has never shown his face. In addition to fans of the novel, many fans of Mr. Hanamaru also want to come to the venue Look, haha, after all, there are rumors on the Internet that Mr. Hanamaru has always been a beautiful girl."
Kai Uesugi also smiled, but didn't talk, he has been paying attention to Hanabi's dynamics recently.
In fact, since Huahuo used to draw character illustrations for game companies, she has gradually gained fame on the Internet.
After all, there are not many painters who wantonly manipulate bright colors with high saturation.
The style is so obvious that the random orders she picks up are circulated on the Internet, and many people can recognize the paintings as the work of the same artist.
After a while, several people rushed to the meeting place of SG Library. The library has not opened yet, and the flow of people is still blocked outside the door.
Compared to the Doujin District, the Enterprise District is obviously much more formal.
There are standing signs, LCD screens, and character flags, and the positions are also contiguous, not as loose as individuals.
Close to the specific booth of SG Bunko "Ms. Miko is a Fox Demon".
Kaoru Uesugi walked in front of the shrine maiden's stand.
The standing card is the same as the body, and the confident smile of Miss Miko is matched with the gorgeous and eye-catching colors, which is really impressive.
If you walk on the side of the road, you will be inadvertently attracted by this confident smile and bright purple pupils.
Kaoru Uesugi even felt that Hanabi used some of his own elements in this role.
He remembered that the heroine was Tianhai Qiyueming, and she was a fox.
He didn't read the novel much, he only remembered that Hanabi spent most of his time drawing this character.
When I don’t sleep with him at night, I’m always drawing this.
It can be said that he hated her, a proper rival in love.
Kai Uesugi’s identity is the assistant of Mr. Hanamaru. Although he is an assistant, the editor of Kawagoe still observed the details. When he saw that he had the same ring as Hanamaru Hanabi, he knew that he was not just an assistant.
Editor Chuanhe first talked about Hanamaru Hanabi's work today, signing.
Signing is not all day, there is a certain period of time.
One hour's autograph each time, that is to say, it depends on luck whether you can get the autographed limited edition album.
There is no way around this, just signing for an hour, how many copies do you have to sign?
Kaoru Uesugi glanced at the densely piled up paintings around the box in the back, and felt the variety of tasks for Hanamaru Hanabi today.
An hour of high-intensity signatures made my hands sour.
With his current writing style, imitating Hanabi's handwriting is no problem at all,
But unfortunately, the matter of signing is only meaningful if you sign it yourself.
Kai Uesugi felt that those printed signatures were simply industrial assembly lines, completely losing the original meaning of signatures.
A printed signature, can that be called a signature?
The work of Hanamaru Hanabi is very simple, when it is time to appear on the stage, and then sign at the beginning of the album.
Uesugi Kai, as an assistant, is helping the staff present to sell the merchandise.
The biggest advantage of this is that there is no need to shout, and the fans outside are waiting in line.
When you think of the dense crowd outside, you know how lucrative the fan economy is.
Most media companies completely treat their fans as leeks, and will let them look after their homes after cutting them off.
Fortunately, the peripherals of SG Bunko are not expensive, ranging from 500 yen to 1500 yen, mainly including character dolls, key chains, Q-version characters, and Q-version dolls.
There are also some scenic figures.
But the art collection is expensive, 3500 yen for a set, limited.
The most attractive thing today is Tianhai Qiyueming's figure, because it is a pre-release version, limited to 500 pieces.
The official release is a few months away.
Kaoru Uesugi has seen fan discussions, and the first ones will buy a figure and an art book.
Since the novel and the picture book are not in the same booth, half of the handicrafts are on both sides, but they want all the limited edition items, so they have to find friends to come together.
True first come first serve.
But looking at so many surroundings, Uesugi Kai also saw the progress of Hanabi in his career.
Now that she has fans, her hard work in painting every day is not in vain.
It was the first time for Aiyi and Qian Aiyi to come to this kind of place. The two little lolis were looking around at the platform of SG Library, and there were many strange toys that they had never seen before.
Editor Chuanhe was very generous and gave them two limited edition figures.
The original author of "Miss Witch is a Fox Demon" was at the booth next door, and he was there, selling autographed collector's edition novels.
Busy getting things ready, it's 7:50.
The venue opened at [-]:[-], and Kaoru Uesugi had already foreseen the eager crowd outside.
Hanamaru Hanabi was sitting on a small stool, her college-style attire made her look like a young female college student, and the beret on her small head also gave her a special temperament.
Perhaps this is probably the aura of the beautiful girl.
It's hard for Uesugi Kai to imagine that she, who is usually weak, still has this unique temperament at home.
"Hana-chan, are you nervous?"
"Not really."
"Do you feel that you are particularly cute today?"
Hanamaru Hanabi touched the ribbon around her neck, "Kai-kun would be cuter if he didn't bite Hanabi."
Uesugi Kai also pointed to the faint teeth marks on his neck, "I'll be even more handsome if you don't bite me."
"It's good that Mr. Kai is not handsome."
"How can you hope that your husband is not handsome?"
"Mr. Zhao is not handsome, the whole person is a firework!"
Uesugi Kai couldn't help smiling, "I've become handsome, and the whole person is still yours."
"No! If Kai-kun is handsome, there will be many other girls."
"What's the matter, are you afraid that I won't be able to hold it?"
Hanamaru Hanabi whispered, "Kai-kun is a pervert."
"What kind of pervert, isn't it when you put on your socks in the morning. Uh. I touched it a lot. Let me describe it to you. When I grabbed your little feet, I caught the cuteness." Kai Uesugi looked around , making sure no one hears them talking.
"Hate, H."
"H is normal, which means that I am normal as a man."
"Kai-kun turns into a cat, and it's also astringent."
"Why don't you scratch your navel with your paw, don't be so stingy."
"A sour cat."
"Speaking of which, I know that there are a lot of small fan comics in this comic show, do you know that?"
"What?" Hanamaru Hanabi returned to that weak voice.
Kaoru Uesugi leaned close to her ear, whispered for a while, and then smiled at the red-faced girl:
"How about it, do you want me to buy a copy, and we will study together at night?"
"Why...together." Hanamaru Hanabi was already hesitating because of her shyness.
"It's better to practice it after watching it together. Even if Huahuo doesn't want to, we can try to explore it. You know, knowledge is endless."
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Uesugi Kai heard Hanamaru Hanabi bury her head and muttered.
Kaoru Uesugi knew what was going on, and moved his ear closer to her.
Hanamaru Hanabi bit her lips lightly, exhaled in his ear, and said slowly in a girl's gentle voice:
"Mr. Kai, big pervert."
