"Supervisor, I've invited him over for you!" Once they arrived, the beautiful girl said excitedly.
"This is the artist who can draw the Ling Boli and Asuka in your heart? He's so young, I don't think he's that good! " Before Hideaki Anno could say anything, a sharp and unkind voice sounded from the side.
"Yoshida-san, he's really good at drawing. If you don't believe me, take a look. This is what he drew himself, I saw it with my own eyes!" When the beautiful girl heard that, she took out the poster from before and showed it to the person who spoke.
"Eh … the drawing … the drawing is really good … but it's too vulgar!" This Yoshida-san originally didn't plan to properly criticize and ridicule Boss Jia's drawing, but after seeing the Boss Jia's drawing of the King of Yue, Gou Jianjian, he couldn't bring himself to say those words of ridicule.
It was like seeing the ocean, but couldn't say that it was too small.
Seeing Boss Jia's drawing, this Yoshida-san couldn't say that the drawing was terrible, because the drawing was really too good!
Therefore, this Yoshida-san could only say that Boss Jia was too vulgar.
But logically speaking, at the scene of the Comicmarket, even if it was just the stall in front of them, there were a lot of books that were bigger than Boss Jia's drawing. If Boss Jia's drawing was placed among these things, it would definitely be recommended as suitable reading material for young people.
"Hideaki Anno, quickly let him draw Ling Boli and Asuka. See if they're what you want them to be." Yoshida-san turned around and said to Hideaki Anno, who had been silent all this time.
"Okay!" Hideaki Anno nodded and was about to speak to Boss Jia, but before she could say anything, Boss Jia found a chair and sat down. He crossed his legs and said, "Hey, did you guys make a mistake? I was forced to come here by her. Why do you seem to be so sure that I'm willing to draw the characters for you?"
"…" Boss Jia spoke carelessly, causing everyone present to choke. In the end, it was the beautiful girl who reacted and said with a pleading expression, "Sensei, we really need an artist who can perfectly design the two female leads. Please help us design the characters!"
"Before you ask me to do something, shouldn't you first explain the situation to me?" Boss Jia blinked. Hideaki Anno also reacted and quickly said, "Sensei, I'm sorry, we were too presumptuous."
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Hideaki Anno. I'm a supervisor of the animation company Gainax. This is our company's booth, and I'm also an employee of our company."
"This is Yoshida-san, the current art supervisor of Long Zhizi studio, Mr. Shoshi Yoshida. I'm sure you've heard of Long Zhizi studio!" Hideaki Anno first introduced the people around her.
And this Long Zhizi studio seemed to be quite awesome.
"I don't know!" Unfortunately, Boss Jia didn't give him face. He shook his head and said, "In the animation industry, other than Studio Ghibli, I haven't heard of any other studios!" Boss Jia's words made Yoshida Yoshida, who was about to show off, gloomy again.
What a joke. How could there be people who hadn't heard of Long Zhizi studio? It was the animation studio with the longest history in Fusang, and it was also the animation studio with the most output.
Long Zhizi studio had even established the standards and processes of industrialized animation production. It was famous in the entire industry. Although it had declined since the 1980s, Long Zhizi studio was still famous. How could anyone not have heard of it?
Yoshida Yoshida Yoshida glared at Boss Jia, but Boss Jia ignored him completely. He continued to look at Hideaki Anno. Hideaki Anno could only continue her introduction. "Here's the thing. Our company and Long Zhizi studio are planning to work together to produce a TV animation. We've already started preparing for all the work, but we haven't decided on the characters of the two female leads!"
Hideaki Anno sighed and said, "Actually, I'm to blame for this. I was too demanding, and I found five original artists, but they weren't satisfied. Just now, when my sister showed me your drawing, I couldn't help but feel amazed. So, I'd like to take the liberty of asking this gentleman to help me design the two female leads. Our company will definitely reward you handsomely! "
"The characters really can't be drawn!" Boss Jia was a little shocked. Gainax had always had its own exclusive character designer. At the same time, he was also one of the company's shareholders, Sadamoto Yoshiyuki.
This was a very awesome guy. He had designed many famous characters in the future. Boss Jia remembered that Sadamoto Yoshiyuki was also responsible for the character designs of "New Age Evangelion." Especially the two female leads, Ling Boli and Asuka. They had become the most iconic characters in Sadamoto Yoshiyuki's work.
So, Boss Jia didn't expect that Gainax would say that the characters of these two couldn't be drawn. It was too amazing.
In fact, this was indeed the case in history. Originally, Sadamoto Yoshiyuki was responsible for the character designs. However, Hideaki Anno wasn't satisfied with the three versions he had drawn. In the end, Sadamoto Yoshiyuki was so angry that he stopped drawing.
Hideaki Anno was also a hammer. He directly went outside to find a character designer to draw the character designs. This made Sadamoto Yoshiyuki even more furious.
If Hideaki Anno could find a suitable person, it would be fine. However, Hideaki Anno found another four original artists. The number of people he designed was even less than Sadamoto Yoshiyuki.
In history, Hideaki Anno finally found Sadamoto Yoshiyuki again. The two of them were locked together for a whole month before they finally decided on the main characters of "New Age Evangelion."
However, this pair of friends went their separate ways after that. It was said that Sadamoto Yoshiyuki couldn't stand Hideaki Anno's tyranny. He withdrew his investment from Gainax and became an independent artist. He started to take jobs from other animation companies and didn't do anything with Gainax anymore.
Boss Jia didn't know this information at the moment. He only found out about it from other people later.
Now, it was obviously the first time Hideaki Anno and Sadamoto Yoshiyuki had separated. Hideaki Anno found a lot of other artists but still couldn't be satisfied.
If it wasn't for this encounter with Boss Jia, Hideaki Anno would probably have to find Sadamoto Yoshiyuki again. The two of them would have created the two most iconic characters in history.
Boss Jia was also very glad. Due to the error in his memory, Boss Jia always thought that "New Age Evangelion" was an animation produced in 1998. Therefore, he wasn't in a hurry to copy and paste it.
If it wasn't for this chance encounter, Boss Jia would have missed this first masterpiece in animation history.
"Show me the characters' text settings!" Boss Jia thought for a moment and said.
"Okay!" Hideaki Anno immediately took out a small notebook from the table and handed it to Boss Jia. It was full of handwritten Japanese. At the same time, it also clearly described Ling Boli's and Asuka's personalities and their stories.
Boss Jia even saw some hidden settings that had never been shown in the animation. These settings were priceless to the loyal fans of EVA!
However, Boss Jia didn't care. He skimmed through it a few times. After all, he didn't really need to design. Ling Boli and Asuka were already in his mind.
