Chapter 286 Teacher Hanamaru
After getting to know each other's identities and names, Kawai Saburo poured two cups of tea for Hanamaru Hanabi and Uesugi Kai and put them on the table.
In terms of age, he is the senior among the few people here, with gray hair, he doesn't have much airs.
He also poured tea for the two of them.
Kaoru Uesugi sat beside Hanamaru Hanabi, took a sip from his teacup, and listened to Kawaii editor and Hanabi talking about things.
As I said before, I invited her this time to invite her to draw illustrations for a novel for a long time.
Saburo Kawai said immediately: "Mr. Hanamaru, although Shinmoto-san is a new author, his second work has great potential on our current library website. After several discussions in the editorial department, it was decided that I will be in charge. this work."
To be honest, Kai Uesugi still doesn't know what's going on.
He knew that Huahuo would take some tasks on the Internet to ask her to paint.
There are companies and there are private individuals.
The prices are all kinds of strange, some are 50 yen, and some are 5000 yen.
Of course, the requirements are also very strange.
Some people will directly drop a "anything is fine, as long as it is neither male nor female" in the mailbox and attach a high price.
Some people list tens of thousands of words of stories, and then say in the mailbox that they must draw according to the characters in the story, otherwise they will not give money, a threatening tone.
Uesugi Kai drank tea, and listened to a few euphemistic words from Hanamaru Hanabi and Kawaai Saburo.
"Mr. Hanamaru, we have cooperated before, and this time we still want to invite you to be the next painter of this work. This is what we hope, and it is also what Shinmoto-san hopes. Please also think about it."
Seeing his sincerity in his tone, Hanamaru Hanabi couldn't immediately refuse: ".In the beginning, I was only in charge of your company's advertising pictures. A picture can be modified more carefully. I believe that other painters should also be able to take over."
"no!"
Xinyuan Anhong was suddenly shocked, and blurted out almost subconsciously. It was not until all three of them looked at him that they realized something was wrong. They lowered their heads and apologized, "Sorry, I'm sorry, I'm very sorry."
Kai Uesugi thought he was a little too excited: "It looks like Shinmoto-san, it seems that I really want Mr. Hanamaru to be the illustrator of your novel."
"Yes." Xinyuan Anhong seemed not good at words.
Kai Uesugi: "Can you briefly introduce the character design you need?"
Xinyuan Yasuhiro glanced at the editor of Chuanhe, cleared his mind, and said slowly: "Let's talk about the heroine first. She is a fox with a narcissistic personality. She often calls herself a 'beautiful girl'.
"She is very smart, and she will cleverly refute anything that troubles herself in an interesting way. She doesn't get troubled, and she always smiles, but there is an elusive secret in her natural smile."
Kaoru Uesugi knew what he was talking about, but because he couldn't illustrate.
He also couldn't analyze useful information from this short character set, so he could only throw the topic to Huahuo.
"Very interesting heroine," Hanamaru Hanabi saw him gesture to himself under the table, "but the illustrators of light novels don't simply draw a character repeatedly, they also need to follow up the work. This will cost a lot time."
Uesugi Kai was very relieved, Hanabi understood what he meant.
After hearing this, Saburo Chuanai pondered for a while, staring at the steaming tea in the cup:
"I can't give Mr. Hanamaru an answer for this. If it's too high, our company needs to discuss it temporarily."
What are you discussing?
Xinyuan Yasuhiro didn't understand what the editor of Sichuan Co-op meant. Didn't Teacher Hanamaru say that she didn't have time and was declining it?
To be honest, he was desperate to have Hanamaru Hanabi as an illustrator for his novel.
Because the style of painting perfectly fits the appearance of the characters in his heart.
That kind of texture, that kind of heartbeat, that kind of full color
He has tried other painters to try out the image of the heroine, but he is not very satisfied with the results.
Kawai Saburo raised his head after thinking for a while, facing the two people sitting at the opposite table, "How about this, Hanamaru-sensei, in the afternoon, we will discuss this afternoon, and I will give you an answer in the evening.
"You should also know that the price of an illustration is determined by the royalties of a book. Shinmoto-san's book has not been officially published. The price we previously offered to Mr. Hanamaru is already a special case."
Kaoru Uesugi: "Don't you think about the time?"
"No, no need."
At 11:56 p.m., Kai Uesugi and Hanamaru Hanabi bid farewell and left SG Bunko.
In the conference room, the editor of Sichuan Cooperation and Xinyuan Yasuhiro started to discuss while drinking tea.
"what do you think?"
Xinyuan Yasuhiro nodded: "If it is a little higher, I can accept it."
Editor Chuanhe wanted to cover his face, "Do you know how much a better illustration costs now?"
"do not know"
"Between 1 and 2 yen, your work is a new work. Each volume needs at least six illustrations to attract people. There are [-] volumes in total. How much do you calculate?"
As for why six pictures are used in one volume, it is because light novels are designed by selling people, and the more pictures, the better.
"60?" Xinyuan Anhong's mathematics is not very good.
"According to 1 pieces, it is 66 yen, and 2 pieces is 132 million yen. If we want to invite Mrs. Hanamaru to draw, we will quote 5 pieces, and we don’t want her to be like the one on Twitter. The work is so detailed, it is good to draw personal settings and simple scenes.
"According to what she and her assistant said, the actual asking price for an illustration is many times higher than 5, and all of her paintings are propaganda-level color paintings."
"So expensive?" Xinyuan Anhong was a little shocked.
"It's too cheap! 66 paintings, more than 100 million people definitely think it's too little," Saburo Kawai said with a sigh, "A company in the game industry asked her to draw a vertical painting, and one piece cost 100 million yen."
Yasuhiro Shinmoto was a little bored when he heard that it was worth millions of yen: "Then should I ask Hanamaru-sensei to draw?"
"Please, why not please? Who will buy your new author's second book, the light novel illustrations are not good-looking, even if the editorial department has always recognized you, but when you become popular, the resources given to you will be exhausted!"
"But. It's so expensive. Even if I pay for it myself." Xinyuan Anhong really wanted to satisfy his wish.
"It would be better to have more illustrations for novels for newcomers. Right now." Saburo Kawai thought for a moment, "Let's reduce the number of illustrations in a volume, and ask her to draw better for the cover. That's the only way, we won't lose too much."
------
Below the office building, the two walked together, and the young leaves of the zelkova trees in the tree altar beside them still had water droplets, which were shining brightly under the swaying of the breeze.
Uesugi Kai smiled and said, "Hana-chan, you're going to make money again!"
Hanamaru Hanabi walked beside him with a handbag on her shoulders, and whispered, "Kai-kun, why do you use this name."
"do not like?"
"It's not that I don't like it, it's just that it's strange, as if this title was used suddenly."
"It's nothing strange, it's you instead."
Kai Uesugi stared at her side face carefully, thinking of what happened just now, "Sometimes, I always feel that Hanabi is not like Hanabi in front of outsiders."
"what.?"
"It's just that I'm not so shy anymore, and I'm more generous."
"There is no."
"Why not?" Uesugi Kai said with a smile, "You heard their Hanamaru-sensei, Hanamaru-sensei shouting, aren't they very mature? They are not afraid of strangers at all."
"Hanabi. How can Kai-kun say these things?"
Uesugi Kai still said to himself: "Pity me, my little assistant, and I will be exploited by Mr. Hanamaru for labor. Have you noticed, that Mr. Xinyuan, if he has nothing to do, he likes to look at me when he has nothing to do."
"What does he see Kai-kun doing?" Hanamaru Hanabi asked suspiciously.
"Confirming!" Kai Uesugi said, "Confirming the relationship between us. I noticed it when you first appeared at the door. There is a feeling of heartbeat in the room."
Uesugi Kai took her little hand, put it in his pocket, then leaned close to her soft and sweet side and said:
"Hana, you are too cute. It is inevitable to attract men, so you must pay attention to safety. If you can not take the tram, don't take the tram. If you have any questions, please call me in time."
Hanamaru Hanabi, who was walking on the left, nodded: "Yes, actually, Hanabi is also very worried about those things. When I was riding the train with Kai-kun before, there was an old man staring at Hanabi. What a strange look."
"Don't pay attention to them, just move your face away, and don't make eye contact with that kind of people."
Hanamaru Hanabi nodded obediently: "Yes."
It was like walking around here, and before I knew it, I came to Akihabara in Chiyoda.
"Claw machine?" Uesugi Kai asked the girl.
"Okay" Hanamaru Hanabi agreed to play together.
"Why don't we go to the maid cafe? How about?"
"No, don't! There is that..." Hanamaru Hanabi spoke in a low voice, as if she was looking for some reason to say it. If she eats there, she will first apply a 'girly magic'. Then ask the customer to speak in a very strange tone."
Kai Uesugi knew that it was otaku culture, but he found Hanamaru Hanabi's cramped little hands and found that it was not that simple.
So, he smiled at her profile and asked:
"I go to the maid cafe, will Hana be jealous?"
"Ai, I'm not jealous" Hanamaru Hanabi moved a small step to the left, as if avoiding him.
Of course Uesugi Kai approached her again brazenly, inhaled the fragrance of her body, and said with a smile:
"The sour taste, I think Huahuo is jealous."
"No, no." Hanamaru Hanabi still explained in this way, but it was so weak that the other party didn't believe it at all.
"not yet?"
Kai Uesugi moved away from her side, making a movement to stay away, "Then I'm going to go to the custom shop, it happens that Akihabara Station can go directly to Shinjuku, Kabukicho is pretty good."
"Can't!"
Hanamaru Hanako stepped forward and stretched out two small hands, pulling him, not letting him go.
"why not?"
"Mr. Kai, if Mr. Kai goes to a strange place, Dad will be angry."
"Is he angry? Even if my father-in-law is angry, there's nothing he can do. Who told him to spoil you so much, and you like me so much."
"No way."
It's a pity that there are no alleys and small corners on the street, otherwise Uesugi Kai would pull her into a small dark corner, then make another wall, and finally pinch her chin, look into her eyes, and kiss her.
After falling in love, what I think about every day is this kind of greasy thing.
It's not easy to go to a maid cafe with your girlfriend, but here in Akihabara, there are countless gashapon machines and claw machines.
High-rise buildings are hung with bright slogans like neon lights, and colorful electronic product stores, model toy stores, and animation product stores are all here.
What you can see are tourists from all over the world, Two-dimensional character reminders, as well as small groceries, toys, and figures of animation protagonists.
The street right now still has a layer of wet luster after the rain. Not long after the rain stopped, it naturally made the place lively again.
Walking on the street, passing by several transparent windows, the delicate and pleasant dolls inside will make many people stop and watch.
Xiao Huahuo obviously took a fancy to a doll ornament, so she couldn't help but stop and take a few more glances.
"Shark again.?"
"Yeah..." Hanamaru Hanabi kept nodding to the cute shark supported by the metal base inside the glass.
"Do you like it that much?"
Countless people passed by Uesugi Kai's side.
"like."
If he remembers correctly, there are already 73 accessories and dolls about sharks at home, and they are piled up everywhere on the bed.
The life-sized shark that was given to her in the past was also placed in the most conspicuous position by her so that she could hug it at any time.
Of course, there are also a bunch of great peppers.
Now the two are sleeping together, and the bed is full of sharks and peppers.
When I opened my eyes in the morning, it was either she or the shark and pepper.
She still has a shark charm on her handbag.
"There are a lot of sharks in our house, and we can't feed any more." Uesugi Kai tried to persuade Hanabi's desire to buy with words.
One is because it is too much, and the other is because she always hugs the shark and does not hug him to sleep.
"But." Hanamaru Hanabi looked up at him with a small face, and did not speak again.
"alright."
Time was quiet for a moment, Uesugi Kai reluctantly agreed, and he saw the expectation of "I want that" in her purple eyes.
"Hmm! Thank you Kai-kun."
In sight, Hanamaru Hanabi gave him a nice smile.
Uesugi Kai couldn't understand why he liked sharks, but he could only accompany her to line up outside this gift shop to enter the store.
After queuing for more than 10 minutes, I just arrived at the door of the store and found a familiar figure.
"Huahuo sauce!" Kitagawa Sakakisa also spotted the two of them, and ran out of the store happily.
"Sakakisa." In response, Hanamaru Hanabi smiled immediately.
As soon as the two girls met, they held hands and began to talk about the old days. Kitagawa Sakakisa excitedly told what she had done in the past few days, and shared it with her as an interesting daily routine.
I wonder if they will meet every day on campus, is it necessary?
Or that's how girls are.
After finishing speaking, Kitagawa Sakaki smiled lightly, looked back and forth between the two, and then pretended to be mysterious and asked: "Hanabi-chan and Uesugi are... dating?"
Uesugi Kai admitted frankly: "Yes, I was still buying her a gift, I didn't expect to meet you."
This is actually a bit like referring to her as a light bulb.
Kitagawa Sakaki held Hanabi's hand and raised her chin at him, "If you want to disturb, you will also disturb Hanabi-chan. I wanted to invite Uesugi to the tea party with you. You don't want me to disturb you, so forget it!"
