"Oh, good guy, look at these glasses, look at this nose, just like that, you are on the painting, Wang Cripple, no one has ever painted you in my life, how do I feel that the painting looks better than your real life?"

"Look, what are you talking about? I haven't been on a painting, but you've been on it with four eyes? I don't pee on myself before I say I'm ugly, look at your virtue, it's you who my door god is wary of! ”

"It's all one nose and two eyes, what's the noise, is it possible that you can not make more eyes than others, and if you finish painting, hurry down, you don't when you are occupied, and there is still a queue behind!"

In terms of the artistic value of Feng Zikai's "collective painting" alone, any work brought at the charity bazaar just now can crush it, whether it is qi charm or bone method, the eighteen-year-old still has a way to go.

At the same time, in the current society, the form of comics is more seen in newspapers and periodicals, or jokes, or needles, used to satirize some social phenomena, and the upper class generally believes that it is the work of the lower Riba people, and cannot be elegant.

Don't look at these people are very happy at this time, arguing to enter the painting, but in fact, they want to bid for it, that's another thing, other people's living rooms are hung with landscapes, flowers and birds, and their own halls are hung with cartoons, what is this called.

Considering this situation, Cheng Nuo decided to collect this painting and not sell it to the outside world, turning the price into priceless, so as to ensure that the meaning behind the "collective painting" remains unchanged and at the same time, it can also care for the creative enthusiasm of the seedlings to the greatest extent.

Of course, although the price of this painting is not obvious now, after a period of time, with the improvement of Feng Zikai's reputation, its value will only get higher and higher, after all, in addition to the painting, there are poems and inscriptions written by Li Shutong on the spot, the master and apprentice are both masters, and the two of them are truly priceless treasures.

"Mr. Feng, do you think this is feasible, we will not auction this painting, but publish it in newspapers and magazines for more people to enjoy, promote the spirit of the sages who participated in the bazaar, and encourage more people to participate in the disaster relief and rescue action, what do you think?"

Watching Feng Zikai put his seal on it, Cheng Nuo put forward his opinion in a timely manner.

Feng Zikai was obviously stunned after hearing this, and the seal under his hand was almost skewed, and he couldn't help asking: "Mr. Cheng, is this ...... I think you're very welcome. ”

The master also had a young age, and it was inevitable that he would be a little fluttering when he heard the praise of everyone, and at this time, it was obviously not an easy task to let the family take the initiative to come out of the flowers, and it was understandable to oppose Cheng Nuo's suggestion.

They are all people who have come over, and Li Shutong took the initiative to stand on Cheng Nuo's side and admonished his disciples: "The Buddha said that it is better to support the Buddha with tens of billions of rice, and it is better to support the Buddhas of the first and third generations." The Buddhas of the three generations of rice are not as good as those who have no thoughts, no dwellings, no cultivation and no certificates. The same is true of the way of doing good. ”

"The disciple has been taught." Feng Zikai was originally a person with a smart heart, and he quickly understood what was going on with this passage, and the arrogance that had just surfaced was completely dispelled: "I will hand over this painting to Mr. Cheng and arrange it with full authority." ”

A gentleman has something to do and something not to do.

Of course, Cheng Nuo did not swallow the painting privately, but solemnly framed it and exhibited it in front of the public when the time was ripe, so that more people could understand this difficult period and such respectable people. At the same time, in the name of Feng Zikai and Li Shutong, they donated a large amount of materials to the disaster area of Zhili.

After sending the guests away one by one, looking at the empty venue, Cheng Nuo could finally rest.

In the past few days, I have begged my grandfather and grandmother everywhere to make this charity bazaar a success and raise enough money and materials to support the disaster area.

Now that the money is in hand and the supplies are on the way, there is only one thing left to return to Beijing to personally participate in the disaster relief activities, and there is a long way to go.

While thinking about his future plans, Cheng Nuo took off the leather shoes under his feet, and stood in this venue from early morning to evening, his feet really couldn't stand it, especially the heels, as if they were broken, and the whole thing was lifting half a piece of dead meat.

I couldn't stand the discomfort in the middle, so I quietly squatted on the side for a while to temporarily relieve my fatigue.

With all the guests dispersed, Cheng Nuo still wanted to take care of the image of the professor, holding a leather shoe in each hand, walking barefoot on the ground, not to mention how comfortable it was.

Just as he was walking around the venue to see if anyone had left something behind, he suddenly noticed a thin figure in a row of seats.

"Hey, it can't be that I'm mistaken, right?"

Carrying leather shoes, Cheng Nuo stepped back, frowned and came to the row where he found the abnormality, and looked sideways, okay, isn't this Wan Laiming.

"Xiao Wan, why are you here, didn't you give Lao Yan money and let him drag you to the next restaurant, the matter at this venue is over, you have worked hard these days, it's time to celebrate and relax."

Wan Laiming was curled up together at this time, squatting on the ground with his hands and knees, not even sitting on a chair, looking pitiful and weak.

Seeing Cheng Nuo coming, Wan Laiming held the chair with one hand, propped it up from the ground, and bent down to salute: "Professor Cheng, when did you come over, I didn't hear your footsteps." ”

Cheng Nuo smiled and knocked on each other with leather shoes, and raised a bare foot for the other party to see: "Blame me, next time you should come over in leather shoes, clang, so that you can hear it." ”

Seeing this slightly funny appearance, Wan Laiming sneered and was amused, and a snot bubble instantly appeared on his face, and he was a little embarrassed: "Professor Cheng, I didn't mean that." ”

"Of course I know you didn't mean that." Cheng Nuo walked over barefoot, put his leather shoes aside, sat on the chair, and wanted to touch people's heads to appease him, but thinking that his hand had just touched his shoes, it was really indecent, so he put his hand on his knee and smiled: "Is it that Lao Yan is too old, always bullying you and coaxing you to drink more?" Don't worry, I'll definitely criticize them when they come back. ”

Although he is relatively famous in the history of animation, he is still only a half-grown child of fifteen, sixteen or seven, and the ribs on his body are visible.

Originally born in Nanjing, a small businessman's family, not wealthy, but definitely solid, how can this era background, no one can escape the red dust crushing, after several business failures, the family road is in the middle, the four children in the family are boys, the pressure of raising is too great.

As the eldest son in the family, Wan Laiming took on the burden of supporting the family, and after graduating from middle school, he came to the society to break through, and suffered a lot in the middle.

Hearing the other party say this, Wan Laiming hurriedly got up and explained: "Mr. Cheng is not like this, it has nothing to do with Uncle Yan, it is my own problem, but I am a little confused?" ”

Pulling a chair and handing it over, Cheng Nuo suddenly understood what was going on, it was too common to suffer from gains and losses at this age: "What's the matter, are you worried about your arrangements after the bazaar?" ”

Taking the chair, Wan Laiming sat down and nodded seriously: "I really like this job, I also quit my job at the Commercial Press, I don't know where to go after the bazaar, Mr. Cheng, see what else I can do?" ”

This is not dozing off and sending pillows, Cheng Nuo was secretly happy in his heart: "I want to listen to your opinion first, have you thought about what to do, or what are you good at?" ”

"What are you good at? What am I good at......" Wan Laiming followed and re-read it, frowned and thought for a while, a little uncertain: "In terms of liking, I definitely like painting, but in terms of being good at it, my little Taoism is not enough to see, compared with Brother Feng, I am far behind, and I don't know what I am good at." ”

Cheng Nuo shook his head with a smile and said seriously: "In my opinion, you not only like to paint, but also are good at painting, especially the horses you paint, which are similar to both gods and gods, ordinary people can't do you to this extent, doesn't this prove that you are very good at painting?" ”

Hearing the compliment, Wan Laiming not only didn't feel happy, but also felt a little panicked, and squeaked and whined: "I can only draw horses, and I can't paint anything else." ”

This is true, he entered a private school for a long time, hated to read ancient books, did not endorse books and did not write, but secretly painted the portrait of the old school teacher on the desk. Once, when he happened to be discovered, the teacher saw that this portrait was well drawn, and he didn't beat him with a ring ruler, but even encouraged him.

It's a pity that he is stupid in reading, he can only write a "horse" word after half a year, but the word is very good, there is a skeleton, there is spirit, and he has formed an indissoluble fate with horses, he likes to draw horses, and his companions directly call him "horse idiot".

But because he was obsessed with painting horses and had a soft spot for horses, in the end, all colors of horses were painted into "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace", which can be called "a must in the painting garden".

Cheng Nuo stopped talking, and under Wan Laiming's gaze, he returned to the rostrum, took out an old book from it, found a pencil, and came back with these things, of course, barefoot.

After all, after wearing leather shoes for a day, especially men, there will be some taste, and on the way back, simply drive the leather shoes aside.

"Xiao Wan, don't underestimate anyone, don't underestimate stick figures, have you ever heard of animation?"

"Animation?" Treating this word, Wan Laiming was at a loss: "Mr. Cheng, I haven't read much, and I really don't understand what you mean." ”

"It's okay, I'll tell you what he means with my actions, and he's what you're good at." Cheng Nuo's eyebrows rose, even if the other party was a little discouraged, he still gave encouragement.

Spread out the old book and found the blank space at the bottom of the first page, Cheng Nuo smiled: "Xiao Wan, aren't you the best at drawing horses, so let's do it, you have to draw horses in the same place on every page of this book, but, listen, horses are not scribbled, but have requirements." ”

Taking the old book and pencil, Wan Laiming asked, "Do you have to draw a different horse on each page?" ”

Feeling the thickness of the book, the number of pages is more than that, although it is more pressure for him, but considering that this is one of the few opportunities for him to perform, Wan Laiming gritted his teeth and continued: "After learning to paint for so many years, I will draw a horse, Mr. Cheng, don't worry, even if I don't eat or drink, I can draw it for him." ”

Cheng Nuo hurriedly asked him to stop, shook his head and explained: "No, no, no, you misunderstood what I meant, not to ask you to draw different horses, but to let you draw the same horse on each page, and do an action, the action of each page is coherent, and the change of action is relatively small." ”

Seeing that the other party still didn't quite understand, Cheng Nuo simply drew the first two horses by himself, although it was ugly, and it looked like a sick horse, but the overall meaning was quickly conveyed, and he understood what the process was.

Wan Laiming did the same, drawing the rest of the horses one by one, and what he did was to gallop and leap.

One person instructed one person to paint, and as the painting process progressed, the sky gradually darkened, and it was impossible to see the handwriting clearly.

It stands to reason that you should stop working, at least move back to a place where there are electric lights and start painting again, but once inspiration is stopped, it is difficult to pick it up, and the creative passion will be greatly reduced.

Taking advantage of the fact that the sky was not completely dark, Cheng Nuo simply found two candles from elsewhere, lit them on the spot, and with the help of the candlelight, the creation of the two continued.

"Xiao Wan, why is this horse drawn, and there is another piece of content, what are you going to draw this little black dot?" Cheng Nuo didn't know why.

Wan Laiming scratched his head with the end of the pencil and explained: "There is still half a book of thickness left, I think about drawing horses all the time, it's a bit too monotonous, it's better to add another character." ”

Cheng Nuo asked, "So you're drawing another horse here?" ”

Wan Laiming shook his head: "No." ”

Cheng Nuo asked again: "Is it a human?" ”

Wan Laiming then shook his head: "It's not." ”

Cheng Nuo had a direct showdown: "What exactly are you drawing?" ”

Wan Laiming suppressed his excitement: "I don't know if Mr. has watched "Journey to the West", I painted one of them. ”

Cheng Nuo instantly reacted to what was going on, and he was shocked in his heart, and the big guy finally began to shine.

The character with the most horses in "Journey to the West" is the white dragon horse, but fundamentally speaking, people are dragons and not horses, and if you want to draw a white dragon.

Excluding this one, the scene of the horse shot in "Journey to the West" directly surfaced, and it is also a very classic scene.

Under Cheng Nuo's gaze, the small black dot was drawn bigger and closer, and as he approached, there were more and more horses around, forming a scene of ten thousand horses galloping.

Soon the little black dot revealed its true face, it turned out to be the Monkey King who was holding a somersault cloud, scattered the clouds, and finally rode directly on the leading horse, dancing with a golden hoop stick in his hand, roaring and galloping, stepping on the water splash under his feet, as if rushing from the nine clouds, showing his heroic appearance.

"Sir, do you believe in the Great Sage?" Drawing the phoenix wings purple gold crown of the great sage, Wan Laiming put down the pencil, turned his head to look at Cheng Nuo, and suddenly asked.

Cheng Nuo didn't answer in a hurry, he held the old book in his hand, and under the illumination of the candlelight, the great sage seemed to be really alive, and he almost burst into tears when he saw it.

After a long time, Cheng Nuo swallowed and foamed with difficulty, forcibly suppressed his emotions in his throat temporarily, and said slowly:

The golden monkey rose up with a thousand sticks, and Yuyu clarified thousands of miles.

Hail Sun Dasheng today, only because the demon fog has returned. ”

Before Wan Lai Ming could taste the taste, Cheng Nuo closed the book directly, approached the candlelight, pressed the side with his thumb, and then turned the page quickly.

"Boom."

As the page flipped rapidly, Wan Laiming opened his eyes wider and wider, and his mouth began to be closed.

Under his watchful eye, the horses began to gallop on the pages, over the fence, over the mound, and when they were blocked in front of a great river, the great sage came on an auspicious cloud and landed in front of them, and with the blessing of the great sage, the horses were invincible, and successfully crossed the river with a splash.

The story is actually very simple, when encountering difficulties, the protagonist appears to solve the difficulties, which is still completed under the guidance of Cheng Nuo intentionally or unintentionally.

But even so, this form of animated story is something Wan Laiming has never seen before, and he never thought that the horse he drew would really seem to be alive, moving and jumping, and it seems that even the neighing sound can be transmitted through the picture.

"Sir, did you already know that this would happen, it turns out that horses can also run on paper, and the Great Sage can be real......"

Looking at Wan Laiming's excited appearance, Cheng Nuo also sighed in his heart, with such a good start, China's animation industry can also start to lay out in advance, although the material life of the Republic of China is extremely scarce, but the distance between spiritual life and foreign countries is not large.

Nowadays, Disney in foreign countries is still in its infancy, and "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" is still just a fairy tale, and it does not have the technology and ability to put it on the screen, and the entire animation world is still in a blank.

The real introduction of animated short films in China will not wait until next year, when American animated short films will begin to appear in some entertainment venues in Shanghai, including the black-and-white silent films "Betty Boop" and "Poppeye" created by the Fleischer brothers, which deeply attracted Chinese at that time.

The Wan brothers, who had a keen interest in novelties, were also inspired to study animation techniques and decided to try their hand at making their own cartoons.

Until 1922, with the help of the Commercial Press, the four Wan brothers filmed China's first advertising cartoon "Shu Zhendong-style Chinese Typewriter" for China's first Chinese typewriter, thus opening up an era for our art cartoons.

Cheng Nuo's purpose is actually very simple, in our previous life, our material life has generally been improved, but there is still a big gap between us and foreign countries in terms of spiritual life, and we have to face various forms of invasion from time to time, and even South Korea has done better than us, which is really too powerless, not to mention the behemoth of Hollywood in the United States, which makes people look beyond it.

Similar to academic and industrial development, culture is also a long-term development process, which is difficult to achieve overnight, and it will only backfire if it is promoted.

Therefore, here, Cheng Nuo is to seize the technology in his hand, quickly realize it in other forms, and obtain economic and cultural benefits.

Just when Wan Laiming looked surprised, he kept looking at the "animation" in his hand, and he couldn't get enough of it.

Cheng Nuo struck while the iron was hot: "Xiao Wan, our Academy of Sciences also has a "National" magazine, and the treatment is very good, you see ......"
