Chapter 645: If you have money, you don't have a problem
You're pretty rich! Seeing Gu Fan's face unchanged and taking out 1 million yen to buy Boss Jia's hand-painted words, Kazuki Takahashi on the side said in surprise.
"Sort of!" Gu Fan nodded, as for what he meant in his mouth, it would be a matter of opinion to the benevolent and wise.
Anyway, Gu Fan should be a person who is not bad for money, even if his father is not the master of the universe, but at least he is a landlord class.
"Alright, your comics are all sold out, now you can sign a contract with us!" Boss Jia took out the contract and put it in front of Gu Fan, Gu Fan didn't look at the contract, and signed his name directly.
"Aren't you afraid that my contract will sell you?" Boss Jia asked with a smile.
"It's okay, you can't sell me, it's really not good, I can beat you to death!" Gu Fan said seriously.
"I'll wipe ......" Obviously, the air conditioning in the venue is very open, and Boss Jia still has some cold sweat when he hears this, this kid is a little reckless.
"But Mr. Jia, in fact, it wasn't my credit that these comics were able to sell just now, but the credit of your fanart, so I have a reluctant request, and I hope you can agree!" Gufan Road.
"Oh, what reluctance?" Boss Jia asked curiously.
"You can be my teacher!" Gu Fan said with a serious face, "After today, I fully discovered my shortcomings in painting skills, I hope to worship you as a teacher, get your teaching, you teach me how to draw good comics!" ”
"Worship me as a teacher?" Boss Jia touched his nose, it seemed quite interesting, and his ability to paint in this life seemed to be a little melancholy if he didn't pass it on. And from the bottom of my heart, becoming a master of painting is also one of Boss Jia's dreams.
"Okay, I'll take you as an apprentice!" As soon as Boss Jia nodded in agreement, Gu Fan over there knelt down directly, knelt down three times and bowed to Boss Jia, and before Boss Jia could react, he performed the apprenticeship ceremony, which was regarded as officially establishing the master-apprentice relationship.
"This little guy is so smart! Too envious! Takahashi and Nozomi on the side of this look were envious, although there was an extra master in charge of it out of thin air, but this master is the richest man in the world, and if he mixes with such a master, he is afraid that he will have no money to spend in the future.
This little creature looks weak, but the thief is smart!
If it weren't for Takahashi and Nozomi who wanted some face, he would have directly worshiped Boss Jia as his teacher.
"Okay, your comics are also sold out, let's close the stall, we haven't done today's business yet, and we have to find 9 ghostwriting cartoonists!" Boss Jia said with a smile, and Gu Fan began to pack up his things.
"No, who's going to send these things to my private estate!" Boss Jia said hello, and the man who delivered the poster before reappeared ghostly, took the Gufan thing, and left very quickly, so that the three of them could travel lightly and act empty-handed.
By the way, because he came to Fuso more often, Boss Jia simply spent 6 billion yen in Setagaya District to buy a manor, which is about the same size as Toshiya Ito's manor, covering an area of about 5 acres, with a beautiful bungalow and a big garden.
It's just that this manor is also very troublesome to raise, 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 take care of the manor, and these expenses alone are as high as more than 80 million yen per year.
But in the past year, Boss Jia has lived here for less than a month and a half, but these 8 servants and gardeners can live in this big house every day without having to serve anyone.
This makes Boss Jia feel like he doesn't know who he bought this house for, it's really melancholy!
Seeing his things being sent away, Gu Fan didn't say anything, and honestly followed behind his new master, and Boss Jia finally began to work seriously, looking for those cartoonists who could undertake comic adaptation work.
So, Boss Jia began to seriously check the past in front of the cartoonists' booths, observing the comics they draw, mainly the painting and storyboarding, as well as the portrayal of the battle, the plot Boss Jia doesn't care, anyway, these cartoonists don't have the right to decide the plot, they must draw according to the original book.
Soon, Boss Jia found that the folk were indeed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and many book painters were much stronger than those cartoonists, and some even had great plots.
"Why aren't they proper cartoonists?" Boss Jia asked with a frown.
"The main reason is that I can't stand the working hours of cartoonists!" Kazuki Takahashi explained, "Manga artists are actually a very hard job, because they have to make sure that there are new episodes updated every week, so manga artists often have to work more than 16 hours a day to ensure that they can catch up with the progress of the serialization. ”
"And this hard work is unbearable for the cartoonists here, and the cartoons here look very good, because they have half a year to depict them in detail, and this is all their works in half a year."
"And real cartoonists, who need to draw more than 100 times more comics in half a year than these works, are people who fight with their lives!" As a current professional manga artist, Kazuki Takahashi couldn't help but sigh.
"Then according to you, if I find a cartoonist here to ghostwrite, it won't be easy to break off!" Boss Jia asked with a frown.
"......" Takahashi Kazuki was stunned for a moment, and then said with a guilty face, "Boss, I'm sorry, I didn't even think of this." Otherwise, don't look for someone here.,I'll privately contact some cartoonists who are interested in serialization! ”
"I'll talk about this later, the cartoonists here are really good, and our cartoons need such excellent cartoonists!" Boss Jia muttered, and then walked to a nearby stall.
This is a stall selling books, and the books on it are very exquisitely painted, and Boss Jia feels that it has great potential, so it has naturally become Boss Jia's goal.
"Are you the author of this comic?" Boss Jia asked directly.
"Yes, do you have anything to do?" The author looked at Boss Jia with some vigilance and asked.
"Hello, we are from the magazine "Weekly Electric Shock Boy", this is our editor-in-chief Kazuki Takahashi, this is our business card!" Boss Jia gave Takahashi and Nozomi a look, and Takahashi and Nozomi obediently took out your business card.
"You are really the author of Yu-Gi-Oh, Kazumi Takahashi-sensei!!" The manga artist was pleasantly surprised and said that it seems that Yu-Gi-Oh and Kazuki Takahashi are still very famous in Fuso.
"It's me, yes!" Kazuki Takahashi nodded proudly, and then said, "That's right, I just read your manga and think your drawing is very good, so our magazine hopes to sign a contract with you and make you a serial author of our magazine!" ”
"Me! Serial Author!! The cartoonist was a little confused.
It's not that he doesn't want to, but it's too contrary to common sense, and if you want to become a serializer of a magazine, shouldn't you first submit articles to this magazine and get the appreciation of the magazine before talking about serialization?
Could it be that now the system has changed, and the magazine has taken the initiative to sign a contract with a cartoonist?
The problem is,Although I did draw one or two comics.,But they're all the same books of other well-known comics.,And it's the kind of indescribable comics.,I don't have any original comics at all.,They look for themselves to serialize.,I don't know what to serialize!
Seeing the confusion on the cartoonist's face, Boss Jia on the side took the initiative to introduce, "That's the case, our magazine has obtained the adaptation rights of some well-known, animation and other IPs, and we need to change them into comics!" ”
"So we want you to be the creator of this adapted comic, we are responsible for the script and plot of the comic, you are responsible for the character design and drawing of the comic, and at the same time, in terms of authorship, you will be listed as the second author, but you do not enjoy the copyright and copyright of this comic!" Boss Jia said with a smile.
"I see!" The cartoonist suddenly realized, and then said with some hesitation, "If you become a cartoonist, it will be very hard, and you won't have time to sleep, I'm afraid I'll ......."
"As long as you can guarantee the update, you will be given a salary of 500,000 yen per month, and at the same time, after the manga is published, you will enjoy a 20% profit share!" Boss Jia said directly.
"Then no problem!" The cartoonist said instantly, and then added, "The treatment or something must be written into the contract, and it can't be changed, right?" ”
"Of course!" Boss Jia smiled and nodded, "But you also have to ensure the normal update, there will be clauses in the contract, if you can't reach the monthly update, you need to pay some liquidated damages!" ”
"How much is the liquidated damages?"
"It's not much, it's just a few hundred million yen!" Boss Jia said with a smile.
