Chapter 65: The Pampered

Master Lermy's voice was like a thunderclap, which exploded throughout the Vienna Comic Society, blasted in everyone's hearts, and made everyone stunned. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Suspended, burned albums, not allowed to be sold?

The meaning expressed in Master Lermy's words was very clear and direct, and there was no room for negotiation.

In the comic club, the hearts of hundreds of painters were beating extremely hard, and some of them were so excited that they didn't even know that the paintbrush in their hands had dropped, but they just looked at Master Lermi speechlessly.

These artists have been working in the comic club for a long time, the longest has been joining since the beginning and has been working for more than a month, and the short one has recently joined and has been working for a week. But without exception, the short time working in the comic club is the most reassuring and relaxing time for them in these years.

Work is naturally hard, but also boring and monotonous, eight or nine hours a day to paint, at the beginning of the work, most people inevitably have a sore wrist, need to rest a whole night to recover. But this work is simple and easy, they don't need to use their brains to think about complex problems such as composition, coloring, space, etc., they just need to copy the fixed template sent down. And most of these templates are very simple, rarely use those complex high-end painting skills, as long as there is a certain painting foundation, it is not difficult to do perfect copying, so it is not difficult to paint, if you master some labor-saving skills, the problem of wrist soreness is also immediately solved.

Of course, the most important thing is income. The comic book club pays out in a very simple and crude way, and it is generous and reassuring.

Here, the salary is settled on a daily basis, and the day's salary can be settled at the end of each day, and you can receive cash immediately. The salary calculation standard is also very simple and easy to understand, the number of pages you draw every day, divided by five, is the number of silver coins you have today, less than five, can be postponed to the next day. No matter how dull a person is, as long as the foundation of painting is still there, after a week of training, it is not difficult to increase the number of paintings per day to 40. Even up to 50, 60 Kuaishou, there are a lot of people in the comic club. This also represents a salary of at least 8 silver coins a day, an income that they could not even have imagined before. It is countless times better than when they originally set up stalls on the art street, prayed for mercy from God, bargained with people for a red face, and worked hard to earn a maximum of a dozen silver a month.

Eight silver a day, or 40 silver a month! enough for them to rent a better hotel, eat better food, and even have a few drinks in an expensive bar. If you have a family, you can support your family, and you are not afraid of having more children. If you want to go down the road of art, you can also buy better paints, higher paper, and better brushes...... You can even save up for a few months, pay an expensive entrance fee, and enter the galleries of famous masters to see and study the masterpieces of the masters.

This job, this salary, represents a more stable life, a better quality of life, and represents the gradually shortening distance between them and their dreams......

Therefore, even if they feel that the work is very hard, the corners of most painters are always full of happy smiles, and their eyes are always full of hope for the future.

Now, however, they have heard the bad news! The comic book club has been ordered to close down, the comic book has been burned, and it is not allowed to continue to produce and sell it in the future......

This means that they will lose their hard-won jobs, lose their generous pay, and it won't be long before they will be back to their miserable and miserable lives!

They had to find a way to sell their elaborate paintings at a bargain price, they had to run around for lodging expenses, they had to go hungry to save money, they had to face the helpless eyes of their wives and children, and when they couldn't hold on, they had to go to the town hall or church to get the musty, gritty-stuffed "relief porridge" that came and went......

No one wants to go back to the old days!

However, the person who gave the order was so powerful that people couldn't resist at all. That's Master Lermi, one of the most famous painting masters on the mainland today, one of the most powerful and powerful masters below the president of the Vienna Academy of Arts!

Is this bearded man here to be funny? Labor and management have worked hard to build a good comic club, and if you say it's closed, it's closed?

In the silence of the whole comic club, Zhang Ang laughed angrily: "Hehe, I don't know who you are, whether it's an art academy or a master, our comic club is not under your control, and you don't have to worry about it here!

Hearing this, Master Lermi finally turned his head and looked at Zhang Ang, as if he now knew that he was the owner of this comic club. Master Lermy's expression was indifferent, but there was no trace of anger: "Young man, I know that you may be the manager of this comic club, and you have made a lot of money in the past month, and you are reluctant to let it close." But you have to know that in this world, in this city of Vienna, there are some people you still have to listen to. You may not know me, I repeat, my name is Lermy, the Lermi of the Vienna Academy of Arts, you can discuss it with the so-called 'big guys' who support you behind you, and then make a decision! I will wait for you to apologize for your visit at the Academy of Arts!"

After saying that, he turned around and lightly instructed the disciples, "Okay, let's go." ”

At this time, someone else couldn't help but speak, it was the leader of the line drawing group, he looked respectful, but his voice was dissatisfied: "Master Lermy, please wait a minute, I don't understand, why did you give this order." We people just want to make some money to support our families, so why would you cut us off?"

Master Lermy stopped and looked back: "I admit that your story is still a little interesting, and this so-called 'comic' idea is also a novelty......"

Then he changed his words, and his tone immediately became stern: "But the garbage you draw is not a painting at all! They should not be circulated and pollute other people's eyes! And named the Vienna Comic Society? Just a place like yours that specializes in the production of garbage, it also deserves the name Vienna?"

"We can change the name!" said the leader of the draft team, "This is indeed our fault, we shouldn't use such a big name, we can change the name to 'Art Street Comics Club', what do you think?"

"Art Street, the garbage you painted is also worthy of being called art?" said one of Master Lermi's disciples.

"We can...... We can call it the Chicken Feather Comics Club, call it ...... It's okay to call it a garbage comic club!" The leader of the draft team was so anxious that he cried: "Please, don't close our comic club......"

After saying that, he knelt down directly, smashed his forehead on the ground, and kowtowed his head "bang", "bang", "bang".

With his leadership, the comic club immediately knelt down, and the voices of pleading were endless:

"Master Lermy, you, you can give us a way out. ”

"Master Lemuel, we really can't help it, we really can't survive. ”

"You can just let us go this time. ”

"I'm willing to give you half of my salary, please don't close our comic club. ”

"We promise that we will draw well in the future! Draw seriously! Draw with all our might! Draw the comic book well!"

......

But these pleas had no effect, and there was no sorrow or joy in Master Lermy's eyes, and his haughty eyes looked like gods sitting on a throne in the clouds, overlooking the ants on the ground.

His voice was also cold and ruthless: "If I say close, then it must be closed! Painting is a discipline that pays great attention to talent! It is a great study! If you don't have talent, don't enter this trade! This place does not belong to you! There are still many professions in the world that do not require talent, I advise you to change careers as soon as possible, even if you go to the battlefield to earn your life, it is better than you are producing garbage here now!"

"I came here to close your doors, not to bother with the little money you earned, nor to kill you and smash your jobs. I just hope that the noble art of painting is not tarnished! 'Comics' is a good idea, and it is indeed a good idea to express a complete story in multiple consecutive paintings. But it shouldn't be used here! It shouldn't be used for your vulgar stories! It shouldn't be painted by your shoddy paintings!"

"It should be drawn with more virtuosity, in a larger space! It should be drawn with more masterful techniques! It should be drawn with more timeless epics! True myths! Legends of perfect, legendary heroes should be celebrated! It should not be tarnished by your clumsy techniques!

"From the very beginning, a new form of painting should be perfect, noble, and not allow the slightest mistake or omission! Only in this way can it develop healthily, grow up healthily, and finally give birth to immortal masterpieces with the efforts of one master after another! It must not be as inferior, naïve, and vulgar as you are now...... It is unforgivable to defile it like you!"

"Fortunately, I have not discovered it too late, and now there is still a chance to correct it! There is also a chance to start everything over! There is also a chance to keep this new skill from dying! I will take it upon myself! I will invite a number of masters to draw a real 'comic book' based on the glorious deeds of the great Charlemagne!

"And in order to guarantee this great plan, your comic club must be closed! All garbage comic clubs must be burned! including those that have already been sold! Don't worry, I will personally ask a few big people in the town hall to help me, and you don't need to worry about it. ”

"Of course, you really don't want to change careers, and you can still go to the street and sell your old garbage paintings, such as sketches, oil paintings, etc. After all, although it can only be regarded as slightly better garbage, there are always some hillbillies who are greedy for cheapness, and the circulation is not too widespread. But the 'comic' genre, you don't have to touch it, it's not something you garbage can touch! It's still very young, and it needs to be cared for very carefully!"

"Okay, I've said everything I should say and shouldn't say, so be it. ”

With that, he ignored the pleading and tears behind him, and led his disciples out of the door.
