Chapter 122: The Last Piece of the Puzzle
There was a low table beside the girl, on which lay a carved wooden plate, and a painting. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Xiao Jing, who has been tossing and printing for more than half a year, can see at a glance that the painting on the right is a print, and the woodblock on the left is the mold on which the painting was printed!
He was instantly overwhelmed with emotion.
What is the biggest technical constraint on the development of newspapers to the present?
It's a picture!
The text is full of charm, and the articles that are written in a colorful and informative manner are sure to be loved by readers. However, it is not enough to have words, only by adding pictures to the news, can a piece of news really "live", which is why most print media pay attention to pictures and texts.
Every reader has a different understanding of the text. Some people can make up the scene that the reporter in front of him saw when he wrote the news from an article, and some people can only see the main idea and the synopsis of the story after reading the report. Vivid and vivid pictures can effectively help the latter integrate into the story, and can also bring a deeper touch to the former.
So, there is no substitute for pictures. With a good picture attached, the newspaper's sales and coverage will definitely reach a new level. The villain book is popular in large part because of its expressive pictures; In the classical script, aren't there all kinds of pictures interspersed in between, which is refreshing?
Among the audience of the Mirror Newspaper, there are not a few people who can barely recognize some words, so that these readers are faced with dense words every day, it is estimated that they will also have a headache in their minds. Over time, the only thing that can interest these people may be the practical information version.
If the newspaper wants to continue to develop, it must embark on the road of pictures and texts!
Xiao Jing was still excited, and a snowball smashed on his cheek lightly and heavily.
Not far away, Qin Ziqian covered her mouth.
She really planned to teach Xiao Jing a good lesson. But why did this man suddenly stop while running? If he continued to run, the snowball would at best hit him in the back, not in the face.
This hit was very heavy, just watching from the side, she panicked for President Xiao.
Qin Ziqian, who was full of apologies, bit her lower lip and walked forward quickly to apologize to Xiao Jing. Who knows, Xiao Jing, who was beaten, just shook his head slightly, and his eyes were still staring straight into the room, and he was not even interested in glaring at the beater.
What's wrong with him?
The curious Qin Ziqian stood beside him and followed his gaze to look in......
Oh, so that's what happened!
Qin Ziqian stretched out her hand and shook it in front of Xiao Jing's eyes with a smile, and said meaningfully: "President Xiao, have you seen enough?" Even if you are as beautiful as jade, you don't have to look so fascinated! Hey, Qin finally understands why you have to take Xiao Pan out, it's not in the way with him......"
Before she finished speaking, Xiao Jing reached out and pulled her, signaling her to silence.
Qin Ziqian was very angry. This person is really cheeky, he doesn't leave his cousin for a casual chat, as if he is very devoted to Xue'er, and I still believe him! As a result, when he saw the beautiful girl, he felt like he had no soul, and he was about to stick to other people's eyes when he saw this little eye!
Xiao Jing was pondering about printing, and somehow, a chill suddenly surged in his heart. Feeling the aura of danger, he turned his head and glanced at Miss Qin, who was smiling strangely, and lowered his voice and said, "Look at the things on the small table!" ”
Qin Ziqian looked in the direction of his finger, only to see the engravings and paintings that he had been paying attention to for a long time. Thinking that Shi Cai had misunderstood others, her pretty face was a little red; After a while, a flash of excitement flashed in her eyes, and she looked even more excited than Xiao Jing.
Anyone who works in a newspaper understands the importance of illustration, and she is no exception.
The two watched and whispered. After a while, the girl in the room suddenly raised her head and said with a sullen face: "Two sons, can you move the jade step lightly?" The slaves are painting snow scenes, and you are just in front of the door. ”
Xiao Jing was stunned for a moment, and then apologized: "Sorry to disturb the girl." ”
He pulled Qin Ziqian to the side. This really doesn't block the snow, but you can see from his position that he has no intention of leaving.
Xiao Jing, who is eager for talent, is now looking forward to her finishing the painting as soon as possible, so that she can go up and talk to her. If you can move her and get her to join the newspaper, it will be better!
Xiao Jing didn't think of cramming when he saw a beautiful woman. Previously, he had searched for a suitable engraving master several times, but unfortunately all of them ended in failure.
In this era, Buddhist books were most commonly used in engravings. Therefore, the vast majority of craftsmen have devoted their energy to this.
There are many people who have been inspected by Xiao Jing, and they can carve Buddhist pictures with complex compositions without mistakes, and when they are printed, they are indeed solemn and solemn, which makes people feel solemn. However, this is not the case with news photos, and in the era when there were no photos, pictures wanted aura, realistic and imaginative creations. At this point, they are doomed to have nothing to do with the newspaper.
There are also some masters who meet the requirements. It's a pity that these people either can't look down on the work of the newspaper and think that it is the right way to mix with the printing workshop; Or, he offered a price that the newspaper could not accept at all, and he could only look away.
The engraving on the low table is engraved with a picture of a human figure. Although Xiao Jing was standing outside the door, the distance was not too far, so he could naturally see what the printed finished product looked like.
Whether the people in the painting are standing or sitting, each one is lifelike and vivid. What's more, the ink of the printing is very clear, and even the texture of the folds of the shirt is decent, and there is no mud or printing in the slightest.
This is enough to show that the quality of the wood carvings is excellent. Otherwise, no matter how clever a master is, he will not be able to print such a clear picture!
The snow is heavier again. Xiao Jing asked Qin Ziqian to go back first, but Qin Ziqian refused, maybe she also wanted to see what means President Xiao would use to recruit talents. Or, Miss Qin just wanted to see him mess up as usual?
Finally, the woman in the room put down her pen. She walked slowly to the door, frowned, and said, "Is there anything else going on with the two of you?" It's inconvenient for a little woman to be alone, so if it's okay, just please. ”
With that, she put her hand on the doorknob, thinking that it was going to be closed. Xiao Jing hurriedly stepped forward, stood two steps away from her, and said respectfully: "Wait, I really have something to say below." Dare to ask the girl's surname? ”
The door was halfway closed. The woman behind the door, who was colder than the north wind and snow outside, hesitated for a moment, and then said lightly: "Don't dare, the slave's surname is Lu." ”
Although she replied, she didn't want to bother at all. Otherwise, she wouldn't hide behind the door and only show most of her face to Xiao Jing.
The attitude of the people is not good, but Xiao Jing doesn't care at all. With a smile on his face, he said gently: "It turned out to be Miss Lu." I wonder if the girl has ever heard of the Mirror News? ”
This was his signature question. It's hard to say in other places, but the popularity of the Mirror News around the capital is still extremely high. At present, although this town is a little far from Ruidu, there is still a sales point for mirror newspapers; Whether you are a local resident or a guest passing through, even if you haven't read a newspaper, most of you have heard of the name of the newspaper.
Xiao Jing is full of confidence, but Miss Lu is very faceless. She shook her head slightly, and said, "I haven't heard of it." ”
Qin Ziqian almost laughed out loud in the back. However, thinking that President Xiao was doing business, she felt that her performance was very inappropriate. In order to hide her embarrassment, she simply coughed lightly twice, and then looked at her nose and nose and her heart to make the old monk into a fixed state.
The answer was a little unexpected, but Xiao Jing still smiled: "The girl is also a guest here, so it's not surprising that I haven't heard of it." Xiao has one thing, is the wood carving in the house from the girl? ”
Miss Lu bowed slightly: "Yes." ”
The answer is getting simpler.
The coldness of the people was obvious, but Xiao Jing didn't realize it, at least his expression didn't change. He asked Qin Ziqian to go back to the house and bring a newspaper, holding the newspaper and saying, "Miss Lu, please look, this is the mirror newspaper." Below is Xiao Jing, who is the president of the newspaper, and the brother Qin in the back is a reporter of the newspaper. The mirror newspaper takes the common people of the world as its own responsibility, not only to seek benefits for the people, but also to speak out for those in need......"
Similar newspapers have introduced Xiao Jing countless times, and he can almost recite it backwards. In order to recruit talent, he certainly doesn't mind saying it again.
After the introduction was over, he said enthusiastically: "If the news report can be accompanied by pictures, it will definitely give readers a better reading experience." Although Xiao and the girl met for the first time, they were willing to invite the girl to join the newspaper and contribute to our journalism. It doesn't matter if the girl doesn't want to join, as long as she can help at a convenient time, Xiao is also grateful. As for the remuneration, everything is negotiable. ”
After speaking, Xiao Jing looked at Miss Lu eagerly, waiting for her answer.
The answer was not long in coming. Unfortunately, not the one he wanted.
Miss Lu dropped a sentence of "not interested" with a dark face, and resolutely closed the door.
Qin Ziqian suddenly felt a little sympathetic to President Xiao. For the sake of the newspaper, how many cold faces did he see, and how many times was he scolded and even humiliated?
She wanted to persuade Xiao Jing to go back, but Xiao Jing hadn't given up yet.
He reached out and knocked on the door. Once, twice, three times...... He watched persistently until Miss Lu, whose face was covered with frost, opened the door.
"The girl doesn't have to be angry, Xiao will leave after speaking." Xiao Jing handed over a business card with both hands: "There is the address of the newspaper on it." If the girl is interested, she may wish to come to me. In addition, Brother Qin and I are going to Linzhou, and we won't be back until a month and a half later at the earliest. If you want to take a look during this period, you might as well just give this business card to a woman named Xiaoya. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly saluted, turned and walked to his room.
Miss Lu closed the door. After being silent for a long time, she suddenly said softly: "Linzhou...... Is it? ”
There is also a small table near the bed. This table is blocked by a wardrobe and cannot be seen from the outside.
There was a stack of paper on top of it...... Is it the Mirror?
