Valkyrie Europa

Chapter 326
Master Lermi's voice was like a thunderclap, which exploded in the entire Vienna Comics Club, and it exploded in everyone's hearts, leaving everyone stunned.

stop?Burn picture book?Not allowed to sell?

The meaning expressed in Master Lermi's words is very clear and direct, without any room for negotiation.

In the comic club, the hearts of hundreds of painters were beating extremely violently, and some were so excited that they didn't even know that the brushes in their hands had dropped. They just stared straight at Master Lermi speechless.

These painters have worked in the comic agency for a long time or a short time. The long ones joined from the very beginning and worked for a little over a month, and the short ones joined recently and worked for a week.But without exception, this short period of time working in the comic agency was the most peaceful and relaxing period of time in these years.

The work is naturally hard, and it is also boring and monotonous. After eight or nine hours of painting a day, most people will inevitably suffer from sore wrists when they start working, and they need to rest all night to recover.But this work is simple and easy. They don't need to use their brains to think about complex issues such as composition, coloring, and space. They only need to copy the fixed templates sent out.Moreover, most of these stencils are very simple, and those complex and high-end painting skills are rarely used. As long as you have a certain painting foundation, it is not difficult to make a perfect copy, so it is not difficult to draw. If you master some labor-saving small With skill, the problem of wrist soreness can be solved in an instant.

Of course, the most important thing is income.The remuneration method issued by the comic agency is extremely simple and rude, generous and generous, which makes people feel very at ease.

Here, the salary is settled on a daily basis, and the salary of the day can be settled every day after get off work, and the cash can be received 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. If there are less than five, you can postpone it to the next day.And no matter how dull a person is, as long as the foundation of painting is still there, it is not difficult to increase the number of paintings per day to 40 after a week of exercise.Even Kuaishou who has reached 50 or 60, there are many people in the comic club.This also represents a salary of at least 8 silver coins per day!It's an income they didn't even dare to think about before.It is countless times better than when they set up a stall on the art street, prayed for God's mercy, bargained with others, and earned at most a dozen silver a month.

8 silver a day, if there is no rest for a month, it will be 2 gold and 40 silver!Enough for them to rent a better hotel, enjoy better food, and even have a few drinks in an expensive bar.Having a family is enough to support the family, and I am not afraid of having more children.Those who want to go on the road of art can also buy better paints, higher drawing paper, better brushes and even save money for a few months, pay expensive entrance fees, and enter the galleries of famous masters , Observe and study the masterpieces of the masters.

This job, this salary, represents a more stable life, a better quality of life, and the gradually shortening distance between them and their dreams
Therefore, even if the work is very hard, the corners of the mouths of most painters are always full of happy smiles, and their eyes are always full of hope for the future.

But now, they heard a bad news!The manga club was ordered to close down, and the finished manga books had to be burned, and they were not allowed to continue to produce and sell them in the future.
This means that they will lose this hard-won job, lose this generous salary, and it will not be long before they will return to their original miserable and embarrassing life!
They have to find a way to sell their well-drawn and proud paintings at a low price, they have to run around for accommodation expenses, they have to go hungry in order to save money, they have to face the helpless eyes of their wives and children, and they have to live in the eyes of their wives and children. Sometimes, go to the city hall or church to get the occasional, musty, gritty "relief porridge".
No one wants to go back to the old days!

However, the person who gave the order was so powerful that it made people unable to resist at all.That is Master Lermi, one of the most famous painting masters on the mainland today, one of the most powerful and powerful masters below the dean of the Vienna Academy of Arts!He is the top figure in the painting art world in Vienna and even in the whole continent!
Is this beard a joke?Labor and management have worked so hard to build a good manga club, so you can close it if you say so?Burn it if you say it?
In the silence of the entire comic club, Zhang Ang laughed back angrily: "Hehe, I don't know who you are, whether it's the Art Academy or the master, our comic club is not under your control, and you don't need to worry about it here Go away when you're done talking, I'll treat you as a fart!"

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

After finishing speaking, he turned around and told his disciples indifferently: "Okay, let's go."

At this time, someone else finally couldn't help but speak. It was the leader of the line drawing team. He looked respectful, but his words were dissatisfied: "Master Laermi, please wait a moment, I don't understand, why did you issue this order?" Order. We people just want to earn some money to support our families, why are you cutting off our livelihood?"

Master Laermi stopped in his tracks and turned around: "I admit, your stories are still interesting, and this so-called 'caricature' idea is also novel."

Then he changed the subject, and his tone immediately became severe: "But the rubbish you draw is not a painting at all! They shouldn't be circulated to pollute other people's eyes! And it's called the Vienna Comics Club? Just a professional producer like you A place of rubbish deserves to be named Vienna?"

"We can change the name!" The leader of the drafting group hurriedly said: "It is indeed our fault. We shouldn't use such a big name. We can change the name to 'Art Street Comic Club'. What do you think?"

"Return to Art Street? The rubbish you painted deserves to be called art?" It was a disciple of Master Lermi who spoke.

"We can. We can call it Chicken Feather Comics Club, or Junk Comics Club!" The leader of the drafting team was about to cry: "Please, don't close our comics club."

After saying that, he knelt down directly, and hit his forehead on the ground, "Boom" "Boom" "Boom" actually kowtowed his head.

With his leadership, the manga club immediately fell to their knees, and the voices of pleading were endless:
"Master Lermi, you, just give us a way out."

"Master Lemir, we really have no choice, we really can't survive."

"Just do it, let us go this time."

"I am willing to give you half of my salary, please don't close down our comic agency."

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

But these pleadings had no effect at all. Master Lermi had neither sadness nor joy in his eyes, his haughty eyes seemed like a god sitting on a throne in the clouds, overlooking the ants on the ground.

His voice was also cold and unfeeling: "I said close, then I must close! Painting is a science that is extremely talented! It is a great science! If you are not talented, don't enter this business! There is no It belongs to you! There are many jobs in this world that don’t require talent, I advise you to change jobs as soon as possible, even if you go to the battlefield to earn your life, it’s better than you are producing garbage here now!”

"I came here on purpose to ask you to close the door, not because I'm jealous of the little money you make, nor to kill you and smash your jobs. I just hope that the noble art of painting will not be tarnished! 'Comics' is a good Idea, using multiple consecutive paintings to tell a complete story is indeed a good idea. But it should not be used here! It should be used for your low-brow stories! It should not be used by your low-fat paintings It's done!"

"It should be drawn with more superb techniques and with a more magnificent space! Draw those long-standing, true epics! True myths! Sing the legends of those perfect, legendary heroes! Not here, Defiled by your clumsy techniques! Make those unsightly things for grandstanding and money!"

"From the very beginning, a new painting style should be perfect and noble, and no mistakes or omissions are allowed! Only in this way can it develop healthily, grow and grow healthily, and finally stand in a position. Thanks to the master’s efforts, immortal masterpieces have been born! It must not be as inferior, childish, and vulgar as you are now, and it is unforgivable for you to tarnish it like this!"

"Fortunately, it's not too late for me to discover it. Now there is still a chance to correct it! There is also a chance to start everything again! There is also a chance to keep this emerging skill from dying! I will personally end! And invite Many masters, based on the glorious deeds of the great Charlemagne, drew a real 'comic book'! A real epic work!"

"And in order to guarantee this great plan, your comic agency must be shut down! All garbage comic agencies must be burned! Including those that have been sold! Don't worry, I will personally ask a few big names in the city hall to help me. You need to worry about it."

"Of course, if you really don't want to change your career, you can still go to the street to sell your old garbage paintings, such as sketches, oil paintings and so on. After all, although it can only be regarded as slightly better garbage, there are always some country bumpkins who are greedy for cheap I like it, and it won’t spread too widely. But you don’t want to touch the genre of ‘manga’, it’s not something your rubbish can touch! It’s still very young and needs to be cared for very carefully!”

"Okay, I've said everything that should be said and should not be said, so be it."

After finishing speaking, he ignored the pleadings and tears behind him, and took his disciples out to leave.
