Chapter 43: The Third Battlefield
"Okay, you can stay with this draft and try to polish it to make it more like a painting. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Zhang Ang waved his hand and sent the four street painters in the room and said, "Give it to me before dinner, and I will set a reasonable remuneration for you according to your performance." ”
"Before dinner?" said the one of the biggest smirks, "IMHO, if you want to paint a painting that is qualified for clothes, you have to put a lot of effort into it, and you have to think about the space planning, the characters, the surrounding environment, and even the lighting, the seasons, etc., if you only give one day......"
"Just one day!" Zhang Ang emphasized again: "I said that this is called comics, which is a new form of painting, and the most important thing is to ask for one word, fast! It is not required to be perfect, so give it to me before dinner, and that's it, you can go down." ”
The momentum of the superior pressed past, and the four street painters immediately stopped talking, left the room, and walked downstairs.
"I don't understand. When they were far away, Adolf spoke, his tone full of doubt: "Is it meaningful to draw such a thing? The most important thing for us now is to hurry back and arrange the development of our subordinates in Austria. No matter how bad it is, it's better to go out and rob those logistics teams on the road than to paint here. ”
"Of course this is useful!" Zhang Ang confirmed again: "If we do it well, it is far better than our hard work to rob those convoys!"
"What do you mean?" Adolf was still puzzled.
"Generally speaking, there are three battlefields for war!" Zhang Ang went straight to the point and explained in detail: "First, the frontal battlefield, just like the German front now, the German army and the French army are in chaos, which is the most direct and important battlefield. Second, the battlefield behind enemy lines, such as sending spies to the enemy's rear to collect intelligence, sabotage, obstruct logistics lines, and even assassinate local dignitaries, just like before, if we succeed in assassination, it can even affect the trend of the war to a certain extent. And what I'm doing now is to open up a third battlefield!"
"The Third Battlefield?" Adolf wrinkled every day: "What is the Third Battlefield?"
"It's the battlefield of public opinion!" Zhang Ang said eloquently: "It's like a war, before the war starts, you will eventually find a name as an excuse for going to war, whether it is revenge, expanding the territory, or this time to help the royal family return to the country, it is just a name." Another example is the Austrian royal family that the French now preach, the Archduke Louisa has a natural right to rule over Austria. Without their propaganda, there might have been many people who didn't know this woman, didn't they? With these propaganda and public opinion, Austria did not rebel, but silently provided food and grass for the French army. ”
After a pause, Zhang Ang continued: "Think about it, if there is no excuse from the Grand Duke Louisa, what will happen to the French army after entering Austria? Yes, they will be regarded as invaders! They will be besieged by Germany and Austria together! It will be difficult to move forward from the beginning! Where is it possible to attack Germany so smoothly and with a great victory?"
"I kind of get it. Are you trying to draw a picture to discredit her? Hmm...... But she is indeed the only heir to the Austrian royal family, there are seals, proofs, and many people of the older generation who have seen her to testify, there are all kinds of evidence, where is it so easy to discredit?" Adolf still didn't seem to understand.
"Of course not from this aspect, straightforward smears have no effect, there are more high-end and more advanced methods in public opinion warfare, and I can't explain it to you clearly for a while, but you can understand it if you follow it. Zhang Ang denied Adolf's speculation and said bluntly.
"Well, okay. Adolf thought about it, but stopped insisting.
......
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was evening.
"Bang" "Bang" "Bang"
There was a knock on the door, and he put down a bowl of braised noodles in his hand, and Zhang Ang opened them, and outside were the four street painters who had been introduced.
"Finished drawing?" Zhang Ang said as he welcomed them in.
After a while, four pieces of drawing paper were handed over, and it was clear that they were not painting together, but each drawing their own according to the draft.
Adolf swept the braised dough sheet out of the bowl and took the paper and looked at it.
While watching, he also commented: "Well, it's good, the basic skills are very solid, it's just that the scene is a little simple, I haven't noticed some small details, and the coloring is not delicate enough, and this one is not colored, pure sketch ......"
"If I had given me time, I would have been able to draw better!" assured one of the painters.
"Yes, it's only been a long time since the incident, how can it be possible to take care of everything?" said another painter, too.
"I'm only good at pencil sketching, not coloring, you said, the pursuit of speed, with this coloring time, it is better to strengthen the scene and the characters. The big grin also said directly.
......
At this time, Zhang Ang also finished his dinner and took over the four drawings and looked at them.
I saw that the four paintings on the manuscript have a distinct style, the characters are vivid, the expressions and movements are very natural, and the scenes are also very exquisite, although they are a little hurried, not as good as those carefully painted oil paintings sold on the art street, but this time, to achieve such a high degree of completion, it can be seen that the four of them are all good hands. In particular, the sketch, although Western-style, was almost no different from the four-panel comics he had seen before.
Putting down the manuscript, Zhang Ang approvingly: "Okay, very good! I am very satisfied, I declare that all four of you have passed the assessment and can officially work for us!"
"Oh, what about the salary?" said the grinning fellow.
"As for the salary, I am going to adopt the piecework system! That is, how much to draw, how much to give, for example, such a page, four small grids, according to my requirements to draw, to meet the basic standards, I will be given a silver coin!" Zhang Ang explained.
"One, that's only 30 silver for a month. The grinning fellow shouted, "You said you had 50 silver." ”
"Oh, 30 silver is already good, this painting is not very demanding, it is still easy to paint. It was Klimt who spoke: "Boss, 30 silver is 30 silver, I am willing to do it!"
The other two also expressed their hearts, saying that 30 silver was no problem, and the big guy no longer argued about the lack of money, and fell silent.
Seeing that they were no longer noisy, Zhang Ang continued: "It's not what you think, you have to draw a whole picture by yourself, what I adopt here is the division of labor and cooperation, it is an assembly line! You only have to work hard enough, I promise, you can earn more than 5 silver a day!"
For a moment, the sound of swallowing saliva echoed in the room.
