Is it okay not to want to work hard?

She was the only one who bought a big bucket of popcorn, and the others bought a Coke or other soda.

It’s a waste to buy more popcorn if you can’t finish it. Not everyone is a ruthless eating machine like Xiaoling.

After buying food and picking up tickets, the theater immediately started checking tickets.

Because it was New Year's Eve, there were quite a lot of people in the cinema, including couples, families of three, and families of four. I don't know whose children were the most noisy, screaming shrilly from time to time.

He hoped that there would be no unlucky kids making noise while watching a movie, let alone sitting behind them and kicking the chairs, because if that happened, he would have no choice but to use his super powers to punish them.

A group of people checked their tickets and entered the theater. They were lucky because there were no children in the back seats and no tall people in the front seats. The most annoying thing about watching a movie is that the people sitting in the front are tall, the people sitting in the back kick their chairs, the people next to them answer the phone, there are couples who show their affection loudly without watching the movie, and there are people who eat snail noodles or other strong-smelling things secretly.

There are always weird people in this world. Although some cinemas do not allow outside food, there are other cinemas that do not care about this. Not to mention eating snail noodles in the cinema, there are also people who eat even weirder and stronger-smelling things in the cinema.

Higashino Kanade sat in the innermost seat, Izumi Konata sat in the aisle seat, and Ijichi Kouka, Nishimiya Shoko, Nishimiya Yuzuru, and Higashino Suzu sat between them.

Before the movie started, the theater was quite noisy, but after the movie started, the theater became quiet. From time to time, there were seemingly quiet but actually loud whispers, as well as the ringing of mobile phones and the sound of couples showing their affection.

Higashino Kanade and his friends come to see the movies for real, while some people come to see the movies just to get bored in the dark environment.

Really, I can't stand these people. They know that there are cameras in the cinema and they do weird things in the theater. He wants to do it because he has super powers and can block the perception of people around him and the images seen by the cameras. What is the reason why these couples want to do it or are doing it? Do they think it doesn't matter?

Higashino Kanade didn't think too much and just focused on watching the movie.

If today was a date alone, he would definitely be affectionate with his girlfriend like other couples. But today it was not a date alone, but a group of people hanging out together. Although Hong Xia was sitting next to him, if he flirted with her he would definitely be strongly watched and despised by the others, so he thought about it and decided to give up.

If he didn't stay up all night, he would like to talk to Konata and Naoko about life, ideals, and the Big Bang. If he offended Konata and Naoko, he would only be able to comfort himself by himself.

It doesn’t look good!

Less than half an hour into the movie, Higashino Kanade suddenly felt tired.

What an ugly movie. When he said ugly, he didn’t mean the pictures, but the plot.

First-rate pictures, second-rate settings, and third-rate plot. He wanted to complain about the movie at first, but after watching it for a while and finding too many flaws to complain about, he was too lazy to complain anymore.

Is the industry in a state of panic? Why do movies like this receive such rave reviews?

Higashino Kanade took out his cell phone and looked online. He suspected that the good reviews he saw online before watching the movie were fake. He found the website, flipped through it, and looked at the comment section.

If he sorts by likes, then all the reviews will be positive. But what if he sorts by time?

【Rubbish! 】

【Give me back my ticket money! 】

【Fuck your mother, give me your money back! (Chinese)】

Okay, crime solved.

Higashino Kanade understood. It was another movie with extremely high ratings, praised by well-known film critics, and had many fans, but ordinary audiences criticized it after watching it.

Well, that's how the world works, bad money drives out good money, and then trash drives out bad money.

The movie ended, as soon as they walked out of the cinema, Higashino Kanade started shouting.

“I want to make a movie!”

"Here, take medicine."

Quan Konaka grabbed a handful of popcorn from the paper tube that Dongye Ling was holding and stuffed it into Dongye Kanade's mouth.

"I'm serious." Higashino Kanade pushed up his non-existent glasses, "I want to make an animated film. Movies like this can become hits. I believe that with my level, I can definitely make a movie that shocks the industry."

"Rotten Tomatoes Rating 0?"

Quan Cifang smiled.

“Not the kind that shocked the industry.”

Higashino Kanade patted Izumi Konata's head.

"Then come on."

Izumi Konakata didn't believe that Higashino Kanade wanted to make a movie. She knew that Kanade was a lazy person like her.

Although Xiaozou seems to be very diligent in drawing and exercising every day, he is a very lazy guy. Moreover, Xiaozou plans to take a break after the completion of "False Hero" and take a break for at least a year before drawing comics again. How can such a lazy person have the leisure to make a movie?

Animation and comics are different, and animated films are different from TV animation. Does Xiaozou have the time to learn how to make animated films?

Chapter 58: Debuted as an idol, then got pregnant at the age of 16

Night, KTV.

Higashino Ling squinted her eyes and lay on the table, holding a spoon in her right hand and feeding the cake into her mouth very slowly.

Sleepy, but want to eat.

The two great desires of humanity clash at this moment.

Quan Cifangzheng pulled Nishimiya Naoko to sing with her. Although Nishimiya Naoko had a slurred speech, she still tried very hard to sing, but her singing was seriously out of tune and the lyrics were unclear.

I don't know if it's because Konata is a otaku, or if her voice is Hirano Aya, she sings really well. If Konata didn't have that kind of idea, she could have debuted as an idol, and then because she got pregnant before marriage at the age of 16, she was... well, let's stop here.

I don’t have much idea about becoming an idol, but if virtual idols appear in the future, I might be interested.

Being an idol requires singing, dancing, rap, basketball and music on stage, but this is not necessarily necessary for being a virtual idol. As long as you want to be a celebrity, you can be a Vtuber at home for the rest of your life.

Higashino Suzu was drowsy, but Nishimiya Yuzuru was very energetic. She drank a cup of coffee and was so energetic that she didn't feel sleepy at all.

Higashino Kanade listened to the duet of Izumi Konata and Nishimiya Shoko, holding a digital screen and drawing the scene, while Ijichi Kouka leaned beside him, lowering her head from time to time.

Yuzuru was not sleepy, but Hongxia was.

During the day, Ijichi Hongxia is busy at home, cleaning the house and preparing three meals a day. Although she has an older sister, her sister cannot be said to be a useless person, but only a useless adult.

Ijichi Hongxia did have complaints about this, but unfortunately she was born late, and her protests were useless in the face of her much older sister.

Higashino Kanade sketched slowly, stroke by stroke, and soon a line draft appeared on the digital screen.

Yuzuru is recording the beautiful life with his camera, and he is recording it with his paintings.

After watching that terrible movie, what he said about making a movie was true. Even if he didn't make a movie, it would be great to make an animation. But it's definitely not now, because he is very busy. He has to go to school and draw comics and books while ensuring enough entertainment time. He really can't squeeze out time to make animations or animated movies.

What's more, making animations or animated films is a very expensive thing. Although he has a lot of money in his bank card, it feels that it is not enough to make a good movie or animation.

We need to set up a studio, recruit people, find voice actors, and promote...

This is not spending money, this is burning money.

How about trying to make a personal animation first? Make a three-minute or seven-minute animation. If your own experimental animation is successful, it won't be too late to make a commercial animation. The problem is that he appreciates Japanese animation for commercial animation, and French and other European countries for experimental animation.

Although European animation is not as famous as Japanese and American animation, it is still of high artistic quality and is also very creative and thoughtful.

Just give it a try.

The new year has arrived, and it's time for him to step out of his comfort zone and try something new. Always drawing comics and books, he inevitably hopes that the world he draws can move, have sound, and music.

Just making some animation.

How about making an animated MV for "Dancing Girl"?

After a little thought, Higashino Kanade decided that this was feasible. He couldn't make a long animation by himself anyway. It would take a long time to polish a short animation of a few minutes. The length of "Dancing Girl" was just right. He was a little disappointed that the song "Dancing Girl" didn't become popular. If the animation MV could become a small hit, he wouldn't be so upset.

In the KTV box, Izumi Konata was singing happily, Higashino Suzu and Ijichi Kouka had fallen asleep, and Nishimiya Shoko and Nishimiya Yuzuru had sung a few songs and didn't want to sing anymore. Higashino Kanade didn't sing well, so after singing for a while, Izumi Konata didn't let him sing anymore.

In the end, it became a solo by Izumi Konakata, who kept changing her voice and singing the OP and ED of various animations.

"Aren't you tired?"

Higashino Kanade leaned on the sofa, looked at Izumi Konata who was singing with full energy, and then looked down at Nijika who was sleeping on the sofa with her head resting on his legs. He wanted to go home and sleep. Whether he slept with Konata, or with Naoko, or with Nijika and Yuzuru, as long as he was not sleeping alone or with Xiaoling, he would be fine.

"Not tired."

This place is full of energy and vitality.

It's just singing, not some strenuous exercise, how could she be tired?

If Nishimiya Yuzuru hadn't been there, Izumi Konaka would have definitely spoken out what was in his heart.

"I'm tired." Dong Ye Kanade yawned and said, "I want to go home."

"Then wait for me to sing three more songs, and then we can go back."

Quan Cifang looked at the time. It was three in the morning. She asked, "Are you still having a midnight snack?"

"If you want to eat, we'll go pack it up."

Higashino Kanade was playing with Ichichi Kouka's ponytail out of boredom. He was not hungry now, but he might not be hungry after he got home.

Sometimes I don’t feel hungry at all one minute, but the next minute I feel starving and want to eat something.

"I don't want to eat." Izumi Konaka shook his head, looked at Dongye Kanade meaningfully and said with a smile, "Maybe there will be something else to eat after we go back."

"Ah?" Dongye Kanade was stunned at first, then he understood and a look of disgust appeared on his face.

Yuzuru is here, so it would be a bad idea to just drive like this.

“This way!”

Nishimiya Shoko spoke, and she understood it immediately, just like Higashino Kanade.

"hey-hey."

Quan Cifang smiled slyly.

During the conversation between the three people, Nishimiya Yuzuru was confused. She frowned and wanted to ask but didn't dare to.

Although I don’t know what they are talking about, from the look on my sister’s face, I feel like it’s not a good thing, at least not a good thing for her.

The three songs ended quickly and they prepared to go home.

"What should we do with them? Should we wake them up?" Nishimiya Yuzuru looked at the sleeping Tono Suzu, poked her face with a straw, and shouted, "Xiao Suzu, wake up. You're going to be late."

"Today is Sunday."

Higashino Ling muttered and waved her hand in disgust, her eyes still closed, showing no sign of opening.

Ichichi Hongxia was awake, but she squinted her eyes and looked tired. She stood up with great difficulty, but her body was shaky and she looked like she was about to fall.

"Let me carry it."

Higashino Kanade looked at Ichichi Kouka, then at Higashino Suzu, and without hesitation abandoned his sister and chose his girlfriend.

He looked at Quan Cifang and said awkwardly, "I'll leave Xiaoling to you."

"Oh."

Quan's reaction was cold.

Some people forget about their sisters when they see a beautiful woman. They even abandon their own sisters for women and instead ask their girlfriends to carry their sisters.

Xiaozou, it really is...

Chapter 59: A Lazy New Year

Four o'clock in the morning.

Higashino Kanade was leaning against the kotatsu and lying on the table, waiting for the girls to finish washing up.

He was sleepy, very sleepy, with his eyes narrowed and drowsy.

Judging from the situation, it would probably be his turn to wash up before daybreak.

I might as well take a nap first, then wash up and go to bed. I don't want to go to bed, but sleeping in the kotatsu is quite comfortable.

Higashino Kanade fell asleep in a daze, and he didn't know how long it was before he heard Izumi Konata's voice.

"Xiaozou, wake up and go wash your face and brush your teeth."

"Ok?"

When Tono Kanade opened his eyes, he saw Izumi Konata leaning close to his face.

He rubbed his eyes and nodded, "Okay."

"Are you planning to sleep here?"

Quan Cifang crawled into the kotatsu, and once she was in, she didn't want to come out.

So warm.

"Ah."
