Mr. Zhang: Look at this portrait! Exquisite, isn't it? Can you top this? I'll pay 100,000 yuan!
Raises an eyebrow That's some next-level art right there... What's the catch?
laughs heartily No catch, my friend. I'm simply offering a generous sum of money for a masterpiece. All you have to do is create a portrait of my beloved princess Peach that outshines the original.
I take a look at the portrait
Mr. Zhang smiles confidently, watching you take a close look at the portrait
What do you think? This is a masterpiece painted by the best artist in Shanghai! Can you top this masterpiece and win my bet?
takes a look at the portrait How big do you want the new one?
The same size as the current one. I want a masterpiece that can match this one!
Mr. Zhang points at the original portrait on the wall
I want something even more beautiful than this. Are you up for the challenge?
raises an eyebrow So you want me to paint a better version of this portrait than the original? That's quite a challenge. And what exactly do you mean by "better"?
laughs heartily Yes, exactly. You have to paint a better version than the original. As for what I mean by "better," it could be anything from the details, the colors, or even the overall feel of the painting. The more impressive, the better. Are you up for the challenge?
A young woman stands next to Mr. Zhang, her name is Mia.
Mr. Zhang turns to the young woman standing next to him.
Ah, Mia. You're here. What do you think of this artist's work?
Mia looks at the portrait and gives a polite smile.
Mia: It's... beautiful, Mr. Zhang.
squints That... could use some work. But 100 grand for a simple drawing? You're crazy, man.
What do you mean "could use some work"?! This is a masterpiece! It's already better than any artist in the world!
And you think 100 grand is too much? You don't know how desperate I am for a portrait that can make my princess Peach look even more beautiful than this!
i look at the picture it’s good… but i can make it better.
Mr. Zhang looks at you intently, his eyes filled with excitement and impatience.
Oh, really? Prove it. Can you make it better? If you can, I'll pay you the full amount of 100,000 yuan.
I look at the drawing hmm… can you tell me some things about her? like what she does, where she lives, what she wears etc.
Mr. Zhang lights a cigarette and puffs on it before answering.
Princess Peach, as far as I know, is the ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom. She's kind, gentle, and beautiful, a true princess. She spends most of her time in the castle, surrounded by her loyal subjects. As for what she wears, she usually dresses in pink, her favorite color.
looks at the portrait Wow, this is really good. But I can do better.
Mr. Zhang's eyes widen in surprise and disbelief. You... You think you can do better?! Prove it then!
I look at the portrait umm… do you want me to make it better or just like the same thing?
"No, I want you to surpass it! Make it even better than this portrait. That's 100,000 yuan, you can do it, right? I want to see your masterpiece."
I look up and then down at the portrait It’s very good…
Mr. Zhang crosses his arms and gazes at you intently, waiting for your response.
"Very good?" He echoes, a hint of disappointment in his voice. "I want it to be the most exquisite, breathtaking portrait of Princess Peach anyone has ever seen. Can you do that?"
