"You're quite rich!" Takahashi Hexi said in surprise when he saw that Gu fan took out 1 million yen to buy boss Jia's hand painting.
"A little!" Gu fan nodded. Different people have different opinions about what he meant.
Anyway, Gufan should be a man without money. Even if his father is not the Lord of the universe, he is at least a landlord class. That's right.
"Well, all your comics have been sold out. Now you can sign with us!" boss Jia took out the contract and put it in front of Gu fan. Gu fan signed his name without looking at the contract.
"Aren't you afraid that my contract will sell you?" boss Jia asked with a smile.
"Nothing, you can't sell me. I can't. I can kill you!" Gu Fan said seriously.
"I wipe..." obviously, the air conditioner in the venue is fully turned on. Boss Jia is still sweating. The child is a little reckless.
"But Mr. Jia, in fact, it's not my credit that these comics can be sold just now, but your colleagues' credit. So I have an unkind request and hope you can promise!" Gu Fan said.
"Oh, what kind request?" boss Jia asked curiously.
"You can be my teacher!" Gu Fan said seriously. "After today, I have fully found my shortcomings in painting technology. I hope to worship you as a teacher and get your teaching. You can teach me how to draw comics!"
"Worship me as a teacher?" boss Jia touched his nose, which seemed very interesting. Moreover, his painting skills in this life did not seem to be passed down, and it was inevitable that he was a little melancholy. And from the bottom of my heart, becoming a painting master is also one of boss Jia's dreams.
"Well, I'll take you as an apprentice!" boss Jia just nodded and agreed. Gu fan over there knelt down directly and kowtowed to boss Jia. When boss Jia didn't respond, he paid homage to the teacher, which was a formal establishment of the relationship between teachers and apprentices.
"This little fellow is so smart! I envy him so much!" Takahashi and Xi, who are looking at him, envy him. Although there are more masters in charge out of thin air, this master is the richest man in the world. If you follow such a master, you will be afraid of having no money to spend in the future.
The little guy looks weak, but the thief is smart!
If Takahashi and Xi didn't want some face, he would directly worship boss Jia as a teacher.
"Well, your comics are sold out, so let's close the stall. We haven't done our business today, and we have to find nine substitute cartoonists!" boss Jia said with a smile, and Gu fan began to pack up his things.
"No, who, send these things to my private Manor!" boss Jia said hello. Before that, the man who sent the poster appeared again. With Gufan's things, he left very quickly, so that the three people could go into battle with light clothes and empty hands.
By the way, because he came to Fusang many times, boss Jia simply spent 6 billion yen in Tiangu district and bought a manor, which is about the size of Junya Ito's manor, covering an area of about 5 mu, with a beautiful foreign house and a big garden.
However, the maintenance of the manor is also very troublesome. In order to maintain the manor and the green plants in the manor, boss Jia has to hire at least 8 servants and gardeners to look after the manor. These expenses alone are as high as 80 million yen per year.
But a year later, boss Jia lived here for less than a month and a half. On the contrary, the eight servants and gardeners can live in this big house every day without waiting on anyone.
This makes boss Jia feel like he doesn't know who bought the house for. It's really melancholy!
Seeing his things sent away, Gu fan didn't say anything. He honestly followed his new master, and boss Jia finally began to work seriously, looking for cartoonists who can undertake the work of comic adaptation.
Therefore, boss Jia began to seriously check the past in front of the cartoonists' stalls and observe the comics they painted, mainly the painter, the mirror, and the depiction of the battle. Boss Jia didn't care about the plot. Anyway, these cartoonists didn't have the right to decide the plot. They had to draw according to the original works.
Soon, boss Jia found that the folk were indeed crouching tigers, hidden dragons. The painters of many book painters were much better than those serious cartoonists, and some even had great plots.
"Why aren't they serious cartoonists?" boss Jia asked with a frown.
"I can't stand the working hours of cartoonists!" Takahashi explained. "Cartoonists are actually a very hard job, because they have to update a new word every week, so cartoonists often need to work more than 16 hours a day to ensure that they can catch up with the progress of serialization."
"This hard work is unbearable for the cartoonists here. The comics here look very good because they have half a year to depict them carefully. This is all their works in half a year."
"Real cartoonists need to draw more than 100 times more cartoons in half a year than these works. They are people who fight with their lives!" Takahashi and Xi, as a current professional cartoonist, lamented.
"According to you, if I find a cartoonist here to write for me, it won't be easy!" boss Jia asked with a frown.
"..." Takahashi and Xi were stunned for a moment, and then said with a guilty face, "boss, I'm sorry, I didn't think of this. Otherwise, I'd better not find someone here. I'll contact some cartoonists who want to serialize privately!"
"We'll talk about it later. The cartoonists here are really good. Our comics need such excellent cartoonists!" boss Jia muttered, and then walked to a nearby stall.
This is a booth selling books. The books on it are very exquisite. Boss Jia thinks it has great potential. Naturally, it has become the goal of boss Jia.
"Are you the author of this cartoon?" boss Jia asked directly.
"Yes, what can I do for you?" the author looked at boss Jia with some vigilance and asked.
"Hello, we are from the magazine of" weekly electric shock youth ". This is our chief editor, Mr. Takahashi and Xi. Here is our business card!" boss Jia gave Takahashi and Xi a look, and Takahashi and Xi took out your business card obediently.
"You are really the author of the game king, teacher Takahashi Hexi!!!" the cartoonist said in surprise. It seems that the game king and Takahashi Hexi are still very famous in Fusang.
"Yes, I'm right!" Takahashi and Xi nodded proudly and said, "well, I just read your cartoon and think your painting is very excellent, so our magazine hopes to sign a contract with you to make you a serial author of our magazine!"
"I! Serial author!!" the cartoonist was a little confused.
He is not unwilling, but it is too contrary to common sense. If he wants to become a serial author of a magazine, shouldn't he first contribute to the magazine and get the appreciation of the magazine before talking about the serial?
Has the system changed and the magazine has taken the initiative to sign a contract with the cartoonist?
The problem is that although I did draw one or two comics, they are the same people of other well-known comics, and they are still the same people that can not be described. They don't have any original comics at all. They find their own serials, and they don't know what to serialize!
Seeing the confusion on the cartoonist's face, boss Jia took the initiative to introduce, "it's like this. Our magazine has obtained the right to adapt some well-known novels, animation and other IP, and we need to change them into comics!"
"So our magazine hopes you can become the creator of this adapted cartoon. We are responsible for the script and plot of the cartoon. You are responsible for the design and drawing of the cartoon. At the same time, in terms of the author, you will be listed as the second author, but you do not enjoy the copyright and edition right of the cartoon!" boss Jia said with a smile.
"So it is!" the cartoonist suddenly realized, and then said with some hesitation, "well, being a cartoonist will be very hard, and there will be no time to sleep, I'm afraid..."
"As long as you can guarantee the update, you will be paid 500000 yen a month, and enjoy a 20% profit share after the cartoon is assembled and published!" boss Jia said bluntly.
"That's no problem!" the cartoonist said in an instant, and then added, "the treatment should be written into the contract, which can't be changed, right!"
"Of course!" boss Jia smiled and nodded, "but you must also ensure normal renewal. There will be terms in the contract. If you can't reach the monthly renewal amount, you need to pay some liquidated damages!"
"How much is the penalty?"
"Not much, just hundreds of millions of yen!" boss Jia said with a smile.
