"But my price isn't cheap. Are you sure you want me to do it?" Boss Jia had no choice but to do it.
"How expensive can you be?" The pretty girl asked curiously.
"How about this? If I can design these two characters, you have to pay me the equivalent of two days of my daily income!" Boss Jia said with a smile.
"Tsk, I thought it would be expensive. It's at most five thousand yen!" Yoshida Takashi sneered when he heard that.
Well, the income of animators in the industry was actually quite low. Some animators at the bottom of the industry didn't even earn fifty thousand yen a month. After splitting it up, they only earned a little more than one thousand yen a day.
Therefore, when Yoshida Takashi said that Boss Jia could earn five thousand yen in two days, it was considered that he thought highly of our Boss Jia!
"No problem. As long as you can draw the characters that we need, I can pay you two days of your royalties!" Anno Hideaki who was on the side didn't understand Boss Jia's tricks and immediately agreed.
"Well, let's write a contract on the spot and sign it!" Boss Jia found a pen and paper from the stall and began to write.
"Tsk, it's only five thousand yen. This guy is really arrogant. Does he think that we can't even afford five thousand yen?" Seeing Boss Jia writing a contract on the spot, not only Yoshida Takashi, but also many people around them were suddenly dissatisfied with him.
Of course, Boss Jia didn't care at all. He simply wrote two clauses on the contract. It said that if they decided to use Boss Jia's character, then they had to pay Boss Jia two days of his net income.
After he finished writing, he handed it to Anno Hideaki. Anno Hideaki glanced through it and found that there was no problem with the contract.
However, he didn't notice that in the position of the signature, Boss Jia's name wasn't Xibei Yapeng, the pen name that he used outside. It was Jia Yapeng's proof.
This was very important, because if it was a pen name instead of a real name, the contract could be voided.
Therefore, when Boss Jia wrote his real name, he was a little nervous. However, Hideaki Anano had obviously heard of Boss Jia's name before, so he didn't look at it for long. He signed his name on behalf of the company.
"Then I'll draw it!" After signing the contract, Boss Jia twisted his sore wrist and started drawing again.
As Ling Boli and Asuka were too famous, their images had been deeply engraved in Boss Jia's mind. Therefore, Boss Jia's movements were very fast. He didn't even have a second to think. Soon, the two girls, one white and one red, appeared under Boss Jia's pen.
The others on the other side were stunned. It wasn't that they had never seen an artist draw on the spot, but they had never seen someone like Boss Jia, who drew without any thought or pause, as if he had a card up his sleeve. It was as smooth and smooth as Dove's chocolate. They had never seen such a scene before.
Was this artist really designing a brand new persona that had never existed before?
Seeing this, many people began to have doubts. When the two girls, one with a ring and the other in red, were completely plump under Boss Jia's pen and revealed their postures, everyone felt as if they were about to suffocate.
The reason was simple. The two girls were too beautiful. Whether it was their expression, figure, appearance, or the design of their battle suits, they were all perfect.
"This is Ling Boli, and this is Asuka!" Even just by looking at the two girls' expressions and without any explanation from Boss Jia, everyone naturally recognized the two girls' identities.
Among them, Hideaki Anno's reaction was probably the most exaggerated.
The muscles under his body were trembling, especially the muscles on his face. They were trembling like ripples on the surface of a lake. He stared at the two girls on the screen and muttered at the same time, "It's them. They're the ones I want. It's them!"
"Done!" In less than an hour, Boss Jia finished drawing the two girls. Then, he threw the pen aside and laughed, "I have a bad habit. I don't refuse to make any changes once I've finished drawing."
"If you like it, use it like this. If you don't like it, just pretend I didn't draw it. You can use it or not!" Boss Jia said very domineeringly.
This was also the line that Boss Jia wanted to say the most, but it was also a line that he could not say. After all, as an internal artist of the company, if he dared to say that he refused to make changes to the client's request, the company would dare to fire him.
"No problem, no problem at all. It's the two of them!" What shocked all the employees was that Hideaki Anno, who was usually very arrogant and domineering, who forced all the employees to constantly change the script, couldn't even say anything bad at this moment. This was something they had never seen before.
However, the drawing was really good. It was so lifelike, as if it had come to life. It was simply perfect!
"That's great! This is exactly what I wanted. I wasn't wrong. Mr. Xibei, you're the best artist in the whole of Japan!" Hideaki Anano exclaimed. "How much do you want? Tell me, whether it's two days, ten days, or even two months, I can give it to you. This is what I want! "
"There's no need for two months. You only need to pay me for two days. That's enough!" Boss Jia said with a smile.
"Wait, this is not urgent. Let me ask you, is your animation still short of money?" Boss Jia asked with a smile.
"Nonsense, whose animation isn't short of money?" Hideaki Anno did not answer. Instead, Takashi Yoshida took the initiative to speak first.
"We're still short of some money, but our producer is very good. He will help us get sponsors!" Hideaki Anno looked at Boss Jia curiously and said.
"How about this, how much money do you still need … No, how much do you need in total? Tell me, and I'll pay for it!" Boss Jia sat comfortably on the chair and looked at Hideaki Anno with a smile.
"Sure enough, the boss is using other people's animation again!" Kazuki Takahashi revealed a look of understanding. No wonder Boss Jia spent so much time here. Kazuki Takahashi initially thought that Boss Jia was interested in other people's girls. Now, he understood that Boss Jia was interested in this animation.
"…" Hideaki Anno and the others looked at Boss Jia in confusion. They did not know how the matter of hiring an original artist had turned into hiring an investor.
"There's no need for that. We can raise the funds ourselves!" Hideaki Anno shook her head and said, "Mr. Xibei, we'd better settle your remuneration first!"
"Alright!" Boss Jia smiled and snapped his fingers. His subordinate from before appeared beside Boss Jia like a ghost.
"Give a call to the finance department, the Daqian finance department. Ask them to calculate how much money I've earned every day this year!" Boss Jia said with a smile. His underling nodded his head and called the number of his underling.
This sudden change made everyone dumbfounded. This was a big brother. This artist actually had a big brother and even had a decent subordinate. Could it be that they had really met a tycoon?
It turned out that this was not an ordinary tycoon. Ten minutes later, his subordinate passed on the news. Boss Jia nodded and smiled. "A total of 243 days have passed this year. In these 243 days, I've earned more than 1 billion USD. Alright, I'll give you 1 billion. "
"In this way, my daily income is 4.16 million USD. In two days, my income is 8.32 million USD. If converted into Japanese yen, it's 520 million Japanese yen. Please transfer this remuneration to my account within three days. Thank you for your cooperation!" Boss Jia was still smiling.
