"I hope I can take a look at the character designs of the previous artists!" After Boss Jia finished reading the character descriptions that he had already memorized, he made another request.
"Professional!" Hideaki Anno nodded and handed the character designs drawn by the other artists to Boss Jia. Compared to designing a character from scratch, looking at some of the character designs that Hideaki Anno had eliminated would help him find the right direction.
That was why Hideaki Anno praised Boss Jia for his professionalism. However, Boss Jia obviously did not think too much about it. He just wanted to see how the characters that were eliminated in the first five versions looked like and see how they differed from the final version.
This was purely out of curiosity as a fan.
Many of these five versions of Ling Boli and Asuka were sent to Boss Jia. After looking at them, Boss Jia realized that the version that was closest to the final version was still Masahiro Masahiro's version. These two characters already had 50% of the charm.
As for the versions drawn by the other artists, although they looked quite good, they did not have the same flavor.
Of course, Boss Jia could not rule out the fact that his first impression was the strongest. After all, the character designs of the later version of "New Age Evangelion" were too deeply rooted in people's hearts.
It was just like watching the CCTV version of the Three Kingdoms and Journey to the West, and then watching any other version of the remake, one would feel like they were being destroyed. It was completely different from the characters in the novel, because one's brain would be occupied by the character designs of these versions.
Going back to the main topic, although Masahiro Masahiro's version already had 50% of the flavor, it did not have the most important flavor.
Among them, Ling Boli had a no-mouth attribute and Asuka had a tsundere attribute. Boss Jia couldn't feel these two attributes at all.
Of course, Sadamoto Yoshiyuki couldn't be blamed for this. Before "New Age Evangelion", there wasn't a female character who didn't have a mouth and was as complicated as Ling Boli in Japanese animation.
At this time, these two images only existed in Hideaki Anno's mind. Masahiro Masahiro Masahiro would have to be locked up with Hideaki Anno for a month to understand his thoughts.
"Xibei sensei, how is it? Do you have any ideas?" Seeing Boss Jia deep in thought for a long time, the girl beside him asked curiously.
"Yes!" Boss Jia nodded and then added, "I already know how to draw them!"
"Tsk, bragging!" Hearing Boss Jia's words, Yoshida Shoshi immediately retorted.
Of course, Boss Jia directly ignored this guy and looked at Hideaki Anno, then smiled and said, "I know how to draw them, but I don't want to draw them......"
Boss Jia shook his head...
Although Boss Jia was indeed capable of drawing it, Sadamoto Masayoshi's greatest achievement in his life would be gone.
Now that Boss Jia was a rich man, he didn't care about fame anymore. There was no need to take away someone's greatest achievement. Boss Jia only needed to find a way to get the copyright of "New Age Evangelion".
Therefore, Boss Jia decided not to be a bad guy. Instead, he pointed at the version drawn by Masayoshi Sadamoto that was closest to the later version and said, "Actually, I think this version is pretty good. In fact, it's almost there. You guys can talk to him again and think about it, and then you'll be able to draw it!" For the first time, Boss Jia felt touched by his own kindness and sense of justice.
Unfortunately, not everyone could understand Boss Jia's sense of justice. For example, when Yoshida Takashi heard Boss Jia's words, he laughed out loud on the spot. "I thought he was some kind of genius boss, but it turns out that he's just a braggart. Hideaki Anno, I think you've got the wrong person. You've got the wrong eye. He may be good at drawing, but the character design needs to be based on the original work, the character's emotions, and so on. He's just drawing books and Little Uncle, he can't do the character design. You've got the wrong eye! "
"…" Boss Jia shook his head. If he was an ordinary Qidian protagonist, he would have been so angry that he wanted to slap Masayoshi's face.
But our Boss Jia was already past that age. He calmly waved his hand and said, "It's your business whether you believe me or not. I don't care. I just want to ask, do you still need investment …"
Before Boss Jia could say the word investment, Hideaki Anno suddenly said, "Teacher Xibei, I believe you. You must have a card up your sleeve now, right?"
"Please, draw it for me!"
"No, it's good enough that I'm able to draw it. You don't have to …"
"Teacher Xibei, do you know about Dynasty Animation?" All of a sudden, Hideaki Anno made a sharp turn. Somehow, she ended up at Dynasty Animation. Boss Jia was unable to stop the car.
"Yes, I do. Is there a problem?" Boss Jia was stunned and asked curiously.
"Mr. Xibei, didn't you notice that Dynasty Animation has taken over Fusang's animation market?" Hideaki Anno said excitedly.
"I don't think so … I remember that Dynasty Animation only releases one or two TV animations every year. How did they take over Fusang's Donghua market?" Boss Jia asked in confusion.
Dynasty Animation had taken over Fusang's animation market? How could he not know? Could it be that his subordinates were hiding something from him?
"I'm talking about the high-quality animation market!" Hideaki Anno realized her mistake and quickly corrected herself, "Since 1992, since Dynasty Animation's first animation, Legend of the Three Kingdoms, the peak of our animation market has been taken over by Dynasty Animation!"
"I have to admit that they're the best in the industry no matter if it's the art, the plot, or the storyboard. Therefore, the animation that Japan is so proud of has been defeated. It has been defeated by Dynasty Animation."
"Since 1992, the top three of the animation market's viewership ratings have basically been dominated by Dynasty Animation. Now, when many Fusang people mention animation and animation companies, the first thing they think of is Dynasty Animation. They think that they are the best animation company in the world!"
"Mr. Shibe, don't you feel anxious after seeing such an outcome?" Hideaki Anno questioned.
"I …" Boss Jia was speechless.
"I'm worried! In this world, in thousands of years of history, China has always been the center of China. Huaxia has always been the Central Celestial Empire. They have always looked down on us. However, in the recent hundred years, our Fusang has caught up. Now, we're finally ahead of Hua Xia in all aspects. Hua Xia can't surpass us in any industry! "
"This is the glory that belongs to us Fusangers."
"But now, many people think that our Fusang has lost to Hua Xia in the animation industry and that Hua Xia has risen again in the animation industry. I'm heartbroken to hear that."
"As Fusang people, can we not chase after them and take back and protect the glory that belongs to us?" Hideaki Anno said passionately, "Therefore, I've decided that I want to make an animation that surpasses all of Dynasty Animation's works in terms of storytelling, graphics, character design, and depth. I want the best animation in the history of animation to stay in our Fusang forever!"
"So, Mr. Xibei, please help me. For the sake of our motherland, please!" After saying that, Hideaki Anno lowered her head and bowed deeply to Boss Jia.
This is difficult … What do you want our Boss Jia to do?
Beat himself up?
