Tokyo, everyone is drawing comics, who still wants to fall in love?.

Chapter 572: Drafted Too Fast
Tokyo's nights always have a special rhythm. The neon lights on both sides of the street dance on the glass curtain walls, reflecting the prosperity and hustle and bustle of this city that never sleeps.

Oda Shingo returned to his bedroom and rubbed his sore eyes. He had been drawing at full speed recently and felt a little tired.

But he still picked up a draft, sat down at the desk, turned on the desk lamp, and prepared to improve it.

Then the phone rang.

When he saw the identity of the caller, Oda Shingo immediately put down the draft and listened to the call carefully.

It was Mrs. Yukino calling, and it made his heart beat faster.

"Shingo, thank you for your hard work."

Shingo Oda completed the animation script for "The Burial of Frillian" and even prepared the storyboards for several of the most important plots.

In fact, this part is not in the contract at all, but Oda Shingo took the initiative to do it, which was a great honor. The original author is a popular cartoonist who provided the script, so it is naturally the most trustworthy and quality-guaranteed content.

"No, there's no need for us to be polite. If I didn't have the comic book assignment, I would have devoted myself to animation production."

"Really? If I really asked you to release the comics, wouldn't you feel bad?"

"Really. I'll agree as long as you ask me." Oda Shingo was very friendly.

Mrs. Yukino said with satisfaction: "I'm not that unreasonable. I'm very grateful that you can contribute to the important script."

"No, it's just a small contribution." Oda Shingo thought that money can make the world go round. Mrs. Yukino has invested so much money that the production of the animated version of Furillian is progressing at a rapid pace.

By the way, Shingo Oda also contributed a lot of music, which helped to make the animation more stable.

Japanese animation is very similar to TV dramas. The popularity of a song's soundtrack can often drive the popularity of a show.

In fact, the broadcast licensing fee is not the biggest part of the TV station, and most of the TV series barely make back their investment. The real profit is basically from peripheral products and the like.

In recent years, due to the rampant popularity of the "Isekai Hero Toilet Paper" series, female characters have become less and less valuable, which has directly affected the sales of the surrounding market. In addition, the overall television ratings have been declining, and the advertising revenue sharing economy has also been declining. As a result, many animations have to consider the issue of profitability from the beginning.

Thus begins a vicious cycle, cost-saving leads to PPT TV series, then advertising cuts, which in turn leads to producers adjusting their investment based on low profits. The most typical example is the poor production represented by P9, which has become a joke among TV series fans.

Even conscientious producers like Crazy House have cut their investments, and the industry as a whole is in a downturn. The income of people working in animation has been squeezed again and again. Excessive overtime and asymmetric pay have become a huge potential collapse crisis for the animation industry.

Oda Shingo has made a lot of money from comics now, especially since his personal energy is limited, so he doesn't consider investing directly for the time being, and it is enough to be a behind-the-scenes manipulator or resource provider. Just the dividends and copyright commissions are already a great harvest.

"By the way, I want to discuss something with you." Oda Shingo told Mrs. Yukino about his plan to buy a house.

"You're moving out...so does the new house have a guest room?" It was hard to tell from Mrs. Yukino's tone on the phone whether she minded or not. Instead, she asked for her own room in the new place.

"Yes! Of course! The first thing I considered was that you, Madam, stay here." Oda Shingo said excitedly.

Ahem, then he felt a little regretful, thinking that he was too impatient, like a pervert whose tail was shaking like a propeller.

"Will Namikaze Yuzuru and the others be staying here too?" Mrs. Yukino asked again.

Oda Shingo was sweating a little, regretting that he should not have just asked for advice over the phone, but should have asked it in person. At least he could have observed his expression and avoided saying the wrong thing.

Hearing that he didn't say anything for a while, Mrs. Yukino didn't ask further questions. She smiled lightly and turned to talk about other things: "Is there a yard? In case you accidentally have a child with a girl in the future, you can let them have some fun."

In traditional Japanese concepts, having a yard is a very important part of a home. A yard with cherry trees or bamboo forests, a small pond, and the occasional sound of bamboo tubes adding water is an ideal place for rest.

Many wealthy elderly people would rather buy a house like this in the suburbs to recuperate than live in a luxurious villa.

"Yes, I'll send you a blueprint of the property you like." Oda Shingo quickly pressed Line to send.

Mrs. Yukino didn't comment after seeing the house, but asked directly: "With a property like this, your current income should be a bit difficult, right? Take some money from me..."

"No, no, I've thought about it and it's not a problem. In fact, many banks have taken the initiative to welcome me for a loan very warmly." Oda Shingo recalled the bank clerks who had called him in the past few days after hearing the news.

Although the overall sluggish situation of the Japanese economy remains unchanged, the banking industry has recovered and has recently been seeking a large amount of loans. Many salesmen are trying their best to get loans. High-quality customers like Oda Shingo are definitely the best candidates. Many female salesmen are willing to lend money and pay for it themselves.

Even in the Japanese banking industry, there are very few female professionals working in foreign affairs, and most of them are assistants to men. Although there has been some improvement in recent years, eight or nine out of ten salesmen are still men.

Mrs. Yukino knew that Oda Shingo could make money, so she didn't say much. She asked about his daily life and was about to hang up the phone: "You should take care of your health recently and don't be too tired."

"I'll pay attention." Oda Shingo smiled, "By the way, after the house issue is settled, I want to visit your hometown."

"My place? Transportation is not convenient. I will go back after a few months."

"Ah? A few months?" Oda Nobuo was surprised.

"I just said it casually. I don't want to leave my hometown after returning. I'm lazy and don't want to be disturbed." Mrs. Yukino's reason seemed to be very sufficient.

Oda Shingo didn't think much about it.

Springfield Books.

"Why are Oda-kun's recent manuscripts published so quickly?" Saburo Mikami was shocked when he saw the progress report of the manuscripts handed over.

The progress of "Naruto" with 5 episodes per week has not been delayed at all and is even ahead of schedule, while "Dragon Ball" has reached the level of submitting 12 episodes within a week and is even increasing.

Assistant Chongtian reported in a serious tone: "The plan for Mr. Oda's Dragon Ball book is already being prepared, but the preparation work cannot keep up with his speed of drawing."

San Shang Saburo smiled bitterly: "Is this happiness or misfortune?"

He almost doubted whether his sister, as an assistant and the main writer of "Dragon Ball", was treated like a slave by Oda Shingo.

But when I went to see her two days ago, my sister had a rosy complexion and looked very healthy, and there was a faint sense of satisfaction that comes from a woman being pampered by a man.

Moreover, after I had only talked to Yuko for three sentences, she would bring up how Oda-sensei was and what Oda-sensei said. She could not stop talking about the big devil every three sentences.

Even when I asked her if she needed anything from home, her answer was:
"Don't worry, we'll decide when we move to Mr. Oda's new house."

"new house?"

"Ah, I suddenly remembered that when Mr. Oda relaxes, he only listens to music on his phone. I remember that you have a set of speakers imported from Italy..."

"Easy to say."

"By the way, Mr. Oda has been having back problems lately. Brother, you have a massager imported from Switzerland, right?"

"It's Swedish..."

"Also, I remember someone brought some sake made from tiger thigh bones from Northeast China a few years ago?"

"It's medicinal wine..."

"Yes, then I'll ask my brother to bring it over. I need it."

"Okay, okay..."

It's obviously what Oda Shingo needs, right?! Sister, why are you thinking of moving all the things in the house to Oda Shingo's place?

Saburo Mikami felt so miserable at that time that he had no tears left. People say that girls are extroverted, but this was really a rude act.

No, she wasn't just turning outwards, she was flying outwards! It was estimated that in a few months, her sister would completely turn into Oda Shingo's shape.

At least, we can’t let Takano Ran contact Oda Shingo anymore. This guy is too good at seducing women...

Although Saburo Mikami believes in his brother's character, if his own woman has a platonic affection for him, he would also feel excited, right?
