Chapter 165: This Method Really Works
Whether Zhong Bai is a painter or not, the answer is, of course, no.
But if he can't draw, the answer is yes.
After so many years of drawing, the three-view young man of various industrial originals and equipment structures is a rhythm at his fingertips, which is also a sentence that industrial dogs often ridiculed themselves in the previous life, "If Lao Tzu can't find a job after graduation, go to the street to sketch people, and Nima can find some food money."
Of course, Zhong Bai is not only a painting enthusiast, in the course of many years of practice, he has also systematically studied painting, especially drawing, which is also a kind of respect for industry.
Commenting on the current level, that is, there are not enough masters, and there are more than enough graduates from the class.
Before the shop outside the spot was closed, Zhong Bai found a shop that had spent two Swiss francs to buy charcoal and white paper, and borrowed a drawing board from the shop for free, so he came to the small square and stood next to the violin-playing artist.
The other party was a little uncomfortable to see a foreigner with black eyes and yellow skin suddenly appear in front of him, after all, this was only 1981, and seeing an Oriental in Switzerland was as rare as seeing a white man in China.
The artist even stopped what he was doing, looked at Zhong Bai a few times before hesitantly asking, "You...... Do you want to perform too? ”
Zhong Bai nodded very familiarly and said, "Yes, I'm also here to eat, please let me make some room out of friends." ”
Sitting on the stairs, the drawing board in front of it was supported by three wooden sticks, and a simple roadside painting stall was done.
The artist looked at Zhong Bai in surprise, and said in his heart that this kid's business is really very proficient, but he didn't expect the other party's shouting to be more proficient......
"Ladies and gentlemen, don't miss it, I'm on a cultural journey in Europe, and now I can sketch for everyone, if you need a portrait, please let me know!"
While shouting Zhong Bai, he also made a small paper basket out of waste newspaper and swung it in front of him, obviously used to collect money, although it does look a little weird compared to the hat.
Rub, you kid doesn't play cards according to common sense, how can anyone who engages in art still shout like this? The violin artist thought to himself, isn't it true that someone will come up to you to paint after you have been painting silently on the side of the road, and only after you have revealed your technique?
So then the artist was semi-skeptical, playing the violin while distractedly and secretly paying attention to Zhong Bai's every move next to him.
Perhaps because the oriental face is indeed too rare, Zhong Bai had just sat down for less than five minutes when a middle-aged man who dared to eat crabs sat on a small bench and said to him: "Give me a sketch, be realistic." ”
"No problem."
As soon as you hear the other party's description, you know that you have an art background.
The middle-aged man was also very cooperative, sitting there frowning, as if thinking about something.
Hehe, it seems that the education of Europeans in this era is really good, big brother, are you sitting down and starting to think about the rhythm of life? The facial expression lines are obvious, which is just right for painting.
The last time I drew a picture was in the office of the county fertilizer factory, Zhong Bai only recalled his sketching skills a little, and then grabbed the charcoal and started work.
To open the first shop, it is natural to be absolutely serious, Zhong Bai also took out twelve points of effort, and it took ten minutes to complete this thinker's sketch.
"Sir, would you please come and see if you are satisfied?" Zhong Bai tapped the edge of the drawing board with charcoal and reminded the other party in a low voice.
"Huh? Of course you can, you can ...... so quickly, the thinker is probably really thinking about life, and only after hearing Zhong Bai's reminder did he come out of that state, and walked over and bent down to look at the sketch of the person.
When he saw the sketch for the first time, he froze.
After a few seconds, he suddenly smiled and was surprised, "Awesome, awesome!" You draw very well, young man! ”
The image of a thinker with a slight beard and a frown bowing and thinking about life jumped on the paper, and the middle-aged man was so happy that he immediately took the drawing paper off the drawing board, and just wanted to leave, but looked down and saw the small paper basket made of waste newspapers in front of Zhong Bai.
"Are you RB?"
"It's not."
"Where is that?"
"Huaguo."
Just when Zhong Bai wondered why the other party suddenly asked about nationality, he saw the middle-aged man take out his wallet from his pocket, first took out a 5 Swiss franc coin from it, but after thinking about it, he put it back, and then took out a 20 Swiss franc note from it, squatted down and gently placed it in a small paper basket.
"Your country is poor, but your paintings are great, come on."
In the eyes of Zhong Bai and the black man's question mark, the middle-aged bearded scumbag man left with his sketch satisfied.
No, you asked me nationality to prepare how much money I was going to give based on where I came from?
It seems that I am lucky not to pretend to be an RB person, otherwise 20 Swiss francs would have become 5!
Wait, 20?
Zhong Bai saw the blue on a white background with the Alpine banknote printed on the back, suddenly grabbed it, put it to his mouth and kissed it deliciously, and then decisively stuffed it into his pocket!
Nima, this method really works!
20 Swiss francs, which is almost equivalent to 140 yuan!
My monthly salary is only more than 30 yuan, and I have to work more than 20 days tiringly, but I ended up in Switzerland...... You can get 140 pieces in 10 minutes to draw a sketch?!
Zhong Bai suddenly had a feeling that he was late, and he was thinking that he could get two coins to get back the cost of buying charcoal and white paper first, but he really didn't expect that the other party would be 20 Swiss francs as soon as he made a move!
O rotten Western capitalist countries!
In view of the fact that the first order went so smoothly, Zhong Bai cheered up and quickly shouted loudly again to solicit business, and after a while, several passers-by asked him to paint!
The people who came later were not as generous as the middle-aged scumbag man before, and most of them mainly tossed coins.
But I can't stop the fast sketching speed!
In less than an hour, when Zhong Bai found that the charcoal in his hand was not enough, he picked up the heavy little paper basket and counted it, wiped it, and actually earned 72 Swiss francs!
Add in the previous 20, which is almost an hour to get 92 Swiss francs!
This is really a good thing, of course, because of the reason for his shouting, which affected the violin artist next to him, Zhong Bai threw a 5 Swiss franc coin to him when he left, which can be regarded as compensation.
With this "huge amount of money", Zhong Bai finally had the confidence to go to the bar, and when he came to Lawsony Road near the Palais des Nations, he soon saw a street of bars under a series of lights.
Here you can see Lake Geneva at night, and the snow-white Alps in the distance, if you can pick up a cocktail in the warm bar and sip it slowly, it is nothing less than the kind of European idyllic bourgeois life mentioned in the APP in the previous life!
