Hundreds of millions of yen sounded like an exaggeration. No one would sign such an agreement. But the problem was that many people didn't want to be human. Or rather, they thought that they were human.
Wasn't it just a promise to update once a week?
This wasn't impossible for him. The key was that his monthly salary was 500,000 yen. This was more than ten times the salary of a normal worker. He was doing a high-paying job. It was much more profitable than setting up a stall here to sell manga.
Even if it was really tiring, he might as well work hard while he was still young. Once he made enough money, he could go home and get married.
As for the compensation of hundreds of millions of yen, as long as he didn't breach the contract, there was no problem at all.
In fact, Boss Jia's contract wasn't too bad. After all, so many mangaka were able to complete one chapter a week. It didn't make sense that other mangaka couldn't do it. If they said too much, it would mean that they didn't work hard enough.
Besides, it was much easier to draw an IP manga like this than a normal manga.
Because a normal manga still needed the mangaka to come up with the storyline, polish the characters' lines, design the characters' images, and so on. The time spent on these was less than the time spent on drawing.
As for manga adaptations based on IP, the plot and characters were all ready-made. If a light novel was adapted into a manga, then even the character designs would be omitted. After all, before every light novel was released, a professional artist would design the character designs for the characters in the story. The manga artist only needed to draw according to the character designs.
In general, as long as the mangaka worked eight hours a day and wasn't sloppy, it wouldn't take much effort to draw one chapter a week.
Therefore, after careful consideration and the temptation of money, the mangaka finally signed his name on the contract.
Boss Jia felt that his style was full of color. It was very suitable for the passerby female lead's style. Therefore, he decided to let him be in charge of the method to raise a passerby female lead.
Because the method to raise a passerby female lead was from a light novel, Boss Jia had already designed all the character designs in advance. This undoubtedly made the mangaka's task much easier. They only needed to be an emotionless drawing machine.
Next, Boss Jia set his eyes on a few mangaka. Some mangaka were afraid of the hard work and the restrictions of the contract and refused. However, there were also mangaka who were poor and chose to sign the contract. Soon, the nine IP manga adaptations had their own person in charge. Boss Jia couldn't help but sigh. As expected, there were experts among the people.
With this, Boss Jia's task for this trip was completed. Just as Boss Jia was about to leave the Comicmarket and end a tiring day, a person suddenly ran over. If it weren't for Gu Fan's quick reflexes, he would've grabbed Boss Jia and pulled him to the left. Otherwise, this person would've directly bumped into Boss Jia.
"Please, have some eyes …" Boss Jia was about to get angry, but when he saw the girl who almost bumped into him, he decisively shut his mouth. This was because this was actually a cosplayer. She was wearing a rubber battle suit, but he didn't know what kind of anime it was.
More importantly, this young lady's looks were heaven-defying. Her figure was also very perfect. Especially with the rubber suit, the curves of her body were perfectly displayed.
Boss Jia had only seen such a beautiful cosplayer in some of the cosplayers that had been refined and edited in the future.
But the problem was that those photos were refined. God knows if the original cosplayer was a tank.
At most, this cosplayer in front of him only had some light makeup on. Everything else was genuine. To be fair, among all the women Boss Jia had ever seen, her looks and figure were only a little worse than his wife, Zhu Qiushui.
But as the saying goes, "Flowers at home are not as fragrant as wild flowers." Boss Jia couldn't help but feel a little touched.
So he withdrew his previous sternness and replaced it with a trace of concern and gentleness. Then he smiled and said, "I'm fine. What about you? Why did you run so fast? Do you know that you almost fell?"
"No, wearing this suit is a little inconvenient for running …" The girl shook her head. Then, she remembered her original purpose, so she quickly asked, "Did you draw that picture just now?"
"Huh?"
"It's this poster!" Because the rubber suit didn't have pockets, the girl put her hand into the collar with some effort. After a long time, she took out a poster and spread it out in front of Boss Jia. It was Boss Jia's drawing of the King of Yue, Gou Jianjian.
"I drew it!" Boss Jia nodded, then asked, "Is there a problem?"
"No, your drawing is really good. You're the best original artist I've ever seen, so I'm here to invite you to join our company!" The girl said excitedly.
Damn, so she's here to work for me again!
Boss Jia glanced at Gu Fan beside him, then shook his head and said, "No, I have other things to do."
Although Boss Jia had a lot of fun working just now, and the beautiful girl in front of him was indeed very attractive, the problem was that he couldn't work all the time. Now that Boss Jia was very tired, he wanted to go back to the manor to rest.
Therefore, although the girl was very attractive, Boss Jia heartlessly rejected her.
"Don't, we really need you. Also, you don't want to be an artist for the rest of your life, right? Don't you have dreams? Don't you want to make your own animation?" The beautiful girl said excitedly.
"Not interested …" Boss Jia shook his head. If he had just transmigrated to this world, Boss Jia might have been a little excited when he heard that he had the chance to participate in the production of an animation.
However, now that the entire high-end animation market in Fusang was basically occupied by Boss Jia, Boss Jia didn't have any more enthusiasm.
"How can you be like this? You have no dreams at all. What's the difference between you and a salted fish?" The beautiful girl pouted. Boss Jia was very touched when he heard that. Then, he waved his hand and prepared to leave, leaving the beautiful girl alone. She whispered to herself angrily, "If the supervisor didn't say that only you could draw the Ling Bo Li and Asuka in his heart, I wouldn't have come to you!"
"Hmm … Ling Bo Li and Asuka?" Boss Jia's footsteps stopped. These two names were a little amazing.
That's strange. Didn't that anime premiere in 1998? Why did they start production now? Four years in advance?
Boss Jia muttered in his heart. When the girl saw Boss Jia stop, she thought that Boss Jia changed his mind because of what she said, so she came up and hugged Jia Yapeng's arm, "Sensei, even if you don't want to join us, it's good for you to understand our animation. We really need you!"
After the girl finished speaking, she looked at Boss Jia pitifully.
"Ahem, then let's go and take a look!" Boss Jia coughed and then imagined what it would be like if this girl were to wear Ling Bo Li and Asuka's battle uniforms on the bed.
Wow, I feel like I'm going to get social security!
Under the guidance of the girl, Boss Jia quickly arrived at the stall she mentioned. This was a stall that sold merchandise related to an animation company. There were all kinds of animations displayed on the stall.
In this stall, a man wearing the latest Ultraman Tiga's Victory Team uniform sat there quietly. His temperament was very outstanding.
"Damn, it's really Hideaki Anno!" Boss Jia muttered. Together with the two names from before, there was no doubt that he was going to witness the birth of the best animation in the history of animation, "New Age Evangelion".
