Chapter 291: Becoming a Research Object
Tokyo University of the Arts is a bit of a strange school. Walking around the school, it is very obvious that the school is divided into two parts: art and music.
This is because Tokyo University of the Arts is the merger of Tokyo Art School and Tokyo Music School. But according to the Japanese tradition of drama, the two art categories cannot be easily integrated.
Well, it's not like we're fighting. After all, we're all engaged in art. How could we do something so tasteless?
As a result, no one looks down on the other, and they treat each other as if the other does not exist. Just like God and Caesar belong to each other, Tokyo University of the Arts is where music belongs to music and art belongs to art.
For example, a building is either for music or art. If it has music and art content, then it must be rented to a third party. This is not the case for middle-level and upper-level students in the school, even for students at the bottom.
Those who study music and those who study art must get a point for everything. These places belong to you, these buildings belong to me, and each building has its own clearly defined affiliation. Don't use mine, and I won't use yours.
When Oda Shingo reported in with Todo Citroën just now, there was only one registration office because of Todo Citroën’s special expertise.
If they are ordinary admitted students, such as a pair of childhood sweethearts, they may study music in the East Park and those studying art in the West Park.
Even if you study in the same school, as long as you fall into two categories: art and music, it will feel like a long-distance relationship.
The memorial hall is a building that belongs to the fine arts category.
In the hall of the memorial hall, there are many display boards with comic rubbings on them. Comic exhibitions and on-site education are ongoing.
Copyright protection in Japan has always been very strict, but exchanges in the academic field are not subject to many restrictions.
There are now a large number of this year's comics on display in the hall, and art instructors are on hand to analyze and communicate with students at any time.
Several students were maintaining order. Judging from the armbands on his arms, this is obviously an activity carried out by the student union.
"These are the comics Mr. Oda Shingo released this year, "One Punch Man", "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure", "GANTZ" and "Spy Play House"." An instructor was analyzing several students at the scene.
Comics is a popular field for art students. There are about thirty students here and they are very enthusiastic.
Toudo Xiangcheng gently pulled Oda Shingo, and the two of them went over to listen.
"As you can see, Oda Shingo's painting style changes a lot, and it is speculated that his main painter may have changed many times. But the story design is always amazing, especially the endless variety of painting techniques."
"Let's take a look. How many painting styles and techniques do these comics include?"
"Especially the portrayal of beautiful women in GANTZ."
The instructor stood in front of an illustration published by Oda Shingo in "RED", which happened to be a welfare picture of the female character Kishimoto Megumi.
The instructor was talking eloquently, and the dozen or so students who gathered in front of the painting nodded frequently.
Although it is not a class, the people who come here are very active in participating in the activities, so the participation level is naturally very high.
Students also asked questions on the spot, such as: Why do I feel hormonal excitement when watching Oda Shingo's "GANTZ"?
As an artist, the instructor naturally continued the introduction without embarrassment: "The author has a very good grasp of the female body, exaggerating some of the parts that are very attractive to men, while omitting the structures that are not easy for men to pay attention to... "
"Hey, gangster, I'm talking about you." Toudo Xiangcheng's lips were close to Oda Shingo's ear, "When you were in class, did you take the life drawing class seriously?"
"Ahem, don't talk nonsense." Oda Shingo felt that his ears were hot from her breath.
Tutors and students speak highly of Oda Shingo's comics.
Oda Shingo and Toudo Kaori stood nearby for a long time. After all, they were evaluating their own comics, and they really wanted to hear their opinions.
Some of the instructor's analyzes were beyond Oda Shingo's expectations.
For example, when analyzing the storyboards of "GANTZ", Oda Shingo actually didn't think much about a close-up of a certain action, but the instructor also analyzed it as how well-intentioned and expressive it was.
Okay, it feels a bit like college entrance examination reading comprehension, Oda Shingo smiled bitterly.
Have you been over-interpreted like Lu Xun?
Of course, most of them received compliments. Oda Shingo noticed that Toudou Xiangcheng's face was a little red, and he looked at him like he was looking at an idol.
It can be felt that this is an expression of pride for one's own people. "In their eyes, you are a genius." Toudo Xiangcheng whispered to Oda Shingo.
Oda Shingo was very proud: "Isn't it?"
The Japanese worship the strong, and the market performance proves that it is a good comic, but it just needs to be teased. What's more, what male wouldn't be happy if he was praised in front of a female?
Tengtang Xiangcheng whispered: "Smelly."
Someone noticed the pair and looked back.
Are they a young couple? It's really irritating to come here to show affection. Many male classmates glanced at Oda Shingo with envy. After all, the "girlfriend" next to him was bright and charming.
But seeing his outfit, the boy quickly looked away without any thought of provocation.
Japanese society has long formed the concept of worshiping the strong, worshiping power, and worshiping wealth. Many people have developed a subconscious respect for the rich. To a certain extent, it is considered a solidification of class and giving up struggle.
Oda Shingo understood Mrs. Yukino’s reminder.
If you were still wearing an old suit, you might be verbally provoked. Sure enough, people can save themselves a lot of snobbish troubles by relying on their clothes.
I just have a small regret in my heart. I don’t have the chance to experience the plot of pretending to be poor and getting slapped in the face in traditional online novels.
Some girls at the scene looked at Oda Shingo a few times, with a special charm in their eyes.
Todo Kaori immediately moved closer to Oda Shingo, not only holding his arm, but almost falling into his arms.
Oda Shingo felt like he wanted to fall into his arms and cling tightly to him. Although he was embarrassed at first, he soon accepted it. Anyway, it's quite comfortable, but you have to be careful that you can't straighten your back.
After all, a man needs to be able to bend and stretch. He must straighten up in some places and bend down in other places.
Although they have appeared on TV, they are not big stars after all. Most people have never seen them or even cannot remember them if they have seen them.
The instructor kept nodding in front of the publicity board, praising Oda Shingo's comics and reminding the students how to learn from his strengths and avoid his weaknesses.
For some analysis, Oda Shingo took out his mobile phone and recorded the key points.
He refuses to let go of any opportunity for improvement.
Todo Xiangcheng listened and chuckled softly: "You have become the subject of research."
When she smiled like this, she accidentally failed to control her voice well. This time, her sneer was very obvious in the relatively quiet hall.
The instructor's face darkened, obviously a little displeased.
Several officers from the student union also looked over. This event was specially planned by them. Could it be that someone was ruining the place?
"Ah, I'm sorry for disturbing everyone." Fortunately, Todo Xiangcheng quickly bowed and apologized. Everyone didn't hear what she said clearly, so they reluctantly let it go.
It just so happens that the analysis of some of Oda Shingo's comics has been completed, and it's time to analyze the next few comics.
It's "I Become the Leader of the Goblin Tribe" by Nobuhiro Arakawa. It's obvious that the arrangement of the student union is just for gimmicks.
Anyone who browses the Internet can understand that after Guneisha broke up with Oda Shingo, he specially hired Nobuhiro Arakawa to make up for the lack of readers. So who will win between the former hero and the great devil will naturally be the focus of attention.
But at this moment, several people walked in from outside.
The student union officers bowed one after another, and they were actually accompanied by school leaders. Surrounded in the middle was a fat man with a bloated figure and a shy belly, walking as if he didn't recognize his relatives.
"Who is this person? He looks very powerful." Todo Xiangcheng whispered.
It seems to be Nobuhiro Arakawa? Oda Shingo saw him on TV.
