Chapter 83

Duncan is a black man living in the UK.

In Europe, there are far fewer black people than in the United States.

However, even in Europe, racial discrimination still exists. Despite having a university degree, finding a job is very difficult. Physical labor is not a problem, but he is in the arts.

"Hey, Duncan, take a look at this!"

The other person who shares the room with him came in excitedly.

This person is Asian, named Qining Wang. It's a strange name, but the two of them have been classmates for four years at university, so they are already used to it. They have another friend named Smoore, but that guy is probably with his girlfriend right now.

To be precise, he is probably in a passionate embrace with his girlfriend. However, it's likely that the one taking the initiative is the woman named West Shellfish Kate. They are said to be planning their wedding, but they have decided to do a gender swap, making the bride the groom and the groom the bride.

From Duncan's perspective as a black man, only a girl like West could value Smoore. Isn't it true that the bigger, the better for men? It's unbelievable that the woman actually prefers the smaller, the better.

"What is this?"

Clearly, it's a job posting.

"Recruiting an artist?"

Duncan immediately perked up.

As an art student... especially a black one, finding a job is not easy at all.

"Maybe we should give it a try?" Duncan suggested.

"Anyway, let's send our resumes first... and we can bring Smoore's resume along, and we'll go together."

In Europe, similar things are happening, with countless resumes being sent to London, UK.

Duncan and the others didn't have much hope, after all, they have experienced this many times.

Duncan considered that if this month's living expenses are not enough, he could do physical labor.

However, to their surprise, their resumes actually passed! Including Smoore.

So, they decided to head to London.

And they soon met the person who might be their future boss.

—A girl.

Catherine looked at the three people in front of her.

Among all the resumes, their art styles were the best.

It must be said that the majority of European paintings are influenced by so-called art and realism... as a result, all the comics and animations are... indescribable.

Wang Qining doesn't look particularly special, giving the first impression of being a helper, it's hard to tell he is in the arts.

Duncan is quite muscular, can this person really draw comics?

But Smoore's name is really amusing.

Smoore White Wolf.

If translated into Chinese, it means "Little White Wolf."

He looks like a pretty boy, but among the three, his artwork is the most delicate and most in line with Catherine's requirements.

"Alright, please sit down."

Catherine pointed to a table nearby.

"I am the owner of DreamWorks, Catherine Edson. I think you might have heard of it. In the future, you will likely need to work in the United States, understand?"

The three nodded.

"Of course, before that, you still need to pass a test."

Catherine smiled.

"On your table, there is a set of tools. I require you to design a character using this, with a time limit of 24 hours. There is a bed, a toilet, and meals will be provided."

The three nodded.

Not to mention 24 hours, finding a job, even 48 hours would be fine.

Catherine looked at them, then at the Chinese person.

"Do you know 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms'?" Catherine asked.

Wang Qining nodded.

Although he is a "banana person" (yellow on the outside, white on the inside), he still knows some things.

"Good, then I want you to draw a character—Zhao Yun."

Wang Qining sighed in relief, it seemed simple. After all, Zhao Yun in 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms' is a classic character!

But Catherine smiled.

"I want you to draw a female version of Zhao Yun, in other words, a female Zhao Yun."

Wang Qining's expression suddenly became awkward.

Then, she looked at Duncan.

"Do you know Hitler?"

Duncan was startled.

"I want you to draw Hitler as a girl, about 12 years old."

How awkward can it get?

Then, she looked at Smoore.

"I want you to draw Beowulf."

"Female, I know." Smoore nodded.

"No, I want you to draw him as a beautiful young man, but it should be obvious that he is a boy."

Smoore was also awkward.

Catherine wants to recruit more than just ordinary artists.

After all, the style of art she envisions is completely different from the current European and American styles.

However, Catherine is confident that children will like her animations.

From Barbie dolls, it can be seen that many children like not just animals, but also beautiful adults. Barbie dolls are famous for this reason. Unfortunately, Barbie's market value is too high, and Catherine does not have the ability to acquire it.

After all, this is a company that had a production value of tens of millions in the 1960s...

After giving the instructions, Catherine left, and the three of them racked their brains.

It's not their fault, Catherine's questions are just too tricky.

Although she has been hesitating between 'Halo' and 'Harry Potter' for the animated version, Catherine finally chose 'Harry Potter'.

As a "space opera," 'Halo' itself is only slightly inferior to 'Star Wars' in terms of story, but the game hasn't shown it. The latter has countless re-creations and various adaptations. After all, Lucas originally thought of a nine-part series.

In Catherine's view, if the visuals of 'Halo' cannot meet her expectations, it would be unbearable.

Since that's the case, it's better to start with 'Harry Potter'!

And this way, DreamWorks can also allocate remaining resources to produce 'Star Trek'.

Although Catherine had grand ambitions when she came to this world, she knows her journey is still long.

A day later, when Catherine returned, she saw that Wang Qining and Smoore had heavy dark circles under their eyes, and as for Duncan... Catherine couldn't tell.

Their drawings were finally completed.

Catherine took a look but still shook her head.

The female version of Zhao Yun in armor didn't look heroic at all.

As for Beowulf, it was completely female, with no hint of a beautiful young man.

However, Duncan's loli version of Hitler was quite good, and Catherine was satisfied.

But among the short, they stood out, after all, their art styles were still very good.

"Congratulations, you are hired."
