Chapter 352 Candidate for Artist

Hu Qing brought the basic information and works of 6 affordable and cheap painters.

After New Year's Day, Jiang Qi handed over the selection of the painters for the Spirit of Toys series to Hu Qing, and Hu Qing handed it over to the subordinates.Due to too many other things recently, Kua Kua was hired, Feng Guihua was going to be promoted to a star, Jiang Qi had already forgotten about it.

"What was the standard for the artist I asked for?" Jiang Qi asked while watching Hu Qing open the document.

Hu Qing operated the computer calmly, and said: "Cheap, affordable, and has no opinion."

To sum up, it is a tool man.

"The online celebrity painters on Weibo pay a relatively high premium. We have no contact here. People in the planning department mainly select painters from the students of the Academy of Fine Arts and students who have graduated in recent years."

"Mr. Wenbo drew two promotional posters for us. Here are the samples. Let's take a look." Hu Qing counted and opened the posters.

Two posters, one train da da, one Pegasus.

Wen Bo, as a painter with a small level of skill, naturally has a good level of painting. The composition of the two paintings is quite good, and they are good as posters.

The only pity is that the drawing is too anime. These toy spirits originally came out of anime.If the artist can be more realistic when drawing them, Jiang Qi thinks it will be more like the original Toy Spirit, and any free play and modification will make people feel almost meaningless.

"Actually, it would be great if Wen Bo could be the lead comic writer, but unfortunately his price is too high." Jiang Qi said regretfully.

Although almost mean, Jiang Qi also knows that things in the world cannot go as one wishes.The comics of the train da da series were drawn by Carter. Unless Carter is alive, it is really difficult to find another artist who can draw the same style as the original comics.

Wen Bo's painting style is actually quite suitable, but his asking price is too high.

As a professional painter who can be completely self-sufficient and doesn't need to look at the face of his boss, Wen Bo himself has no interest in being the main writer of the Toy Spirit series.

The amusement park does not require the illustrator to design the characters, nor does it require the illustrator to design the plot. They only need a cheap puppet with good skills to act like the toy spirits and turn the drama into a comic.

This kind of pure hard work is obviously not something Wenbo can appreciate.

Unless the price is enough to impress him.

And the amusement park is not willing to offer a price that is enough to impress him, so the two parties naturally have no chance of reaching a consensus.

"The first artist's pen name is Feng Liang, and he has worked as a cartoonist's assistant for two years. He has no experience as a chief artist. These are works he has drawn before, and the style should be appropriate." Hu Qing opened the first artist's profile.

Jiang Qi looked at Feng Liang's painting and shook his head: "It's really warm, but it doesn't feel very good. Didn't the people in the planning department send him some photos of mechanical toys, and asked him to draw some samples of the toys that he took? "

"The sample picture is here." Hu Qing turned to the next page.

Jiang Qi stared at the sample picture for a few minutes, then turned to the poster of Wenbohua, frowned: "Look at the next one first."

"The second person is Ma Qingqing, who is a college student. These are her previous works." Hu Qing glanced at Jiang Qi's expression, quickly pressed the page turning button, and the pictures on the computer were cut to sample pictures.

"This one is not as good as the last one, this personal style is too strong."

"The third person is Ji Yue, a recent graduate, the fee is very low, and he is also very interested in the main writer."

Jiang Qi looked at Ji Yue's work and shook his head: "This painting is not as good as my sister's."

Hu Qing hurriedly cut to the next one.

After watching the 6 painters, Jiang Qi felt that the next 5 were not as good as the other. Only Feng Liang's works were a little more reliable, but Feng Liang was not as good as Wen Bo.

This is natural. After all, Wen Bo is a painter who has opened art exhibitions. Feng Liang has only been an assistant to a cartoonist for two years.

Jiang Qi began to think whether he was too stingy.

I want an excellent painter, but I don't want to pay too high a price.

Is my idea a bit party A, too capitalist?

Seeing that Jiang Qi seemed to be lost in thought, Hu Qing waited quietly beside him for five or six minutes. He waited until Jiang Qi's brows relaxed before tentatively asking: "Boss, are you not satisfied?"

"Not very satisfied." Jiang Qi said honestly, "It's not what I want. Is it because the budget I gave is too low, or should we increase the budget and pick something better?"

"I think drawing these toys may not be able to draw their essence and charm just by looking at pictures and videos. Give some funds to the planning department so that they can increase their budget and choose carefully. Invite all the suitable painters selected to the amusement park Come, watch the official toy drama and then make a work."

"Isn't Wenbo just that? Although the Pegasus he posted on Weibo doesn't look very much like a toy Pegasus, I think it's very charming."

Hu Qing nodded to indicate that he had written it down, and switched to the next PPT.

"Boss, if you are willing to increase the budget, we actually have a seventh candidate for an artist."

Jiang Qi: ?
Can you predict this in advance?
Click on the PPT, the first page is the detailed information of the artist, and a photo is attached.

Xue Shaoheng, male, 31 years old, currently lives in Beiping and works as a librarian.

The photo looks very young, with a baby face, and looks like he is in his early 20s.

Librarian?

These days, people who study fine arts have such a wide range of employment?

"Mr. Xue was recommended to us by Mr. Wen Bo. His situation is a little special. There is no way to give samples through videos and photos. These are his works."

Hu Qing put the PPT on the next page, and the works displayed by the computer made Jiang Qi gasp.

It's not bad, it's great.

Jiang Qi doesn't understand art, he doesn't understand abstraction, realism, or impressionism.For Jiang Qi, a good-looking painting is one that looks good at first glance, and also looks good at second glance.

Xue Shaoheng's works are obviously not good-looking.

It's depressing, even a little weird.

The flowers are lifelike, but the color is black, and the butterflies are so vivid that they seem to fly out of the painting, but they are gray.

The sky is gray, the road is gray, the lake is black, and his paintings are only black and white and gray between black and white.

But these paintings are very realistic, as if they were restored 1:1 according to the original scene, as realistic as flowers are originally black, butterflies are originally gray, this world originally only has these kinds of colors, all the bright colors And colorful are not there.

It's him!
Although the colors of Xue Shaoheng's paintings are weird, maybe this is the style of other artists.For comics, just draw the charm. Even if Xue Shaoheng doesn't want to draw color comics, Jiang Qi can find someone else to fill them in. It's not like Jiang Qi didn't read comics when he was studying, and many comics are black and white.

"What's his price?" Jiang Qi carefully browsed Xue Shaoheng's resume, and found that you, painter Xue, have a pretty good resume, and you are a serious painter.

Although I have never held an art exhibition, the price of the paintings is quite high, higher than that of Wenbo.

Jiang Qi was afraid that he would not be able to invite him.

There are quite a few comics in the Toy Spirit series.

"The price is actually not expensive. If you can negotiate it, it will probably double your previous budget, but it may not be possible to negotiate."

Jiang Qi nodded, thinking it was reasonable: "You just said that Painter Xue's situation is a bit special, what is it? Does he have any special requirements?"

"Mr. Xue is a patient with savant syndrome." Hu Qing said, and thoughtfully cut the PPT to the next page. The next page is the introduction of savant syndrome.

Scholars syndrome means that people with cognitive impairment have abilities beyond ordinary people in a certain aspect. To put it bluntly, they are fools and geniuses.

Patients with savant syndrome see the world differently from normal people. Take reading as an example.Normal people see normal characters and punctuation marks when reading a novel, but what patients with savant syndrome see may be a string of garbled characters or even strange patterns.

It is difficult for such people to live normally and communicate with others normally. They can neither say what they want to say nor write it down.Maybe what they wanted to write was a line of poetry, but what they ended up writing was a string of incomprehensible gibberish symbols. What they wanted to say was a greeting, but what they uttered were the words stuttering.

"Mr. Xue's savant syndrome has been greatly improved under the careful care of his sister for many years. As long as his sister is by his side as an interpreter, he can communicate in most cases."

"However, because of his illness, Mr. Xue can only give a sample draft after seeing the toy in person. Mr. Xue himself is very interested in mechanical toys that can perform dramas, but in fact, no one can guarantee the effect of the drawing before giving the sample draft. .”

"Moreover, Mr. Xue can only give black and white drafts, and he needs many experienced assistants to assist him. These assistants must communicate with him through his sister Xue Hua, which may be difficult. The assistant needs us to provide candidates for him. Selection, Mr. Xue does not have the ability to select assistants, and his sister has no experience in this area."

"They can accept the other terms we offer."

Jiang Qi looked at Xue Shaoheng's paintings several times, and felt that the above conditions were not a problem at all.

He believes that Xue Shaoheng is the one who can draw the soul of the toy.

"I think it's okay." Jiang Qi nodded, "Then I would like to trouble Director Hu to contact Painter Xue's sister personally. We will be responsible for the air tickets and accommodation for the two of them. If Mr. Xue can't accept watching toy dramas with other people, we will You can arrange a few games for him alone in the evening."

"We accept all his requests."

"Okay." Hu Qing turned off the PPT and closed the computer, "Then I'll contact them right now."

"Thanks for your hard work."

After Hu Qing left, Jiang Qi couldn't hold back for a while, and searched for other paintings of Xue Shaoheng on the Internet.

It's all dark wind.

Everything in the painting is very realistic, and every color is very weird. The colors are bold and independent, not obtrusive, unreasonable, but seem to be a little reasonable.

At first glance, people think how could it be like this, and then look at it, it seems that it must be like this, and at the end, you will feel that maybe this world is like this.

Jiang Qi even began to think, what would happen if Xue Shaoheng was asked to draw a trash can next to the haunted house.

That must be...

dare not think, dare not think.

Jiang Qi looked at all the works of Xue Shaoheng that he could find on the Internet, and found that this painter never seemed to draw figures.There are all kinds of animals, all kinds of buildings, mountains and rivers in his paintings, but there are no people.

I hope Xue Shaoheng will not mind drawing toy villains, cavalrymen, princesses, farmers, flower fairies and playwrights in human form.

Hu Qing quickly got in touch with Xue Hua. Xue Hua said that although Xue Shaoheng was really interested in toy dramas, but as the year approached, the two siblings couldn't leave Peiping for Xuncheng, so they went with Hu Qing. After the appointment is cleared, the time will be determined according to the situation.

Naturally, Jiang Qi has no objection here. Xue Shaoheng's paintings are not cheap, and he is a serious painter who never draws cartoons.But now he is willing to accept the manga order at a price much lower than Wen Qing's. If this business is negotiated, it is obvious that the amusement park is taking advantage, and it doesn't matter if it is late.

And Xue Hua was right, everyone was busy as the year approached, and the amusement park was also bustling with activity.

Due to the increase in the number of tourists approaching the Chinese New Year, the event in Taiping Town will be open for an additional 2 hours a day, and the number of tourists per event will also be relaxed from the original 300 to 500.

Correspondingly, Feng Guihua's daily coupons have also increased.

In order to make it easier for Feng Guihua to issue coupons, and not to suddenly rise to stardom in the process of issuing coupons, the people stood still in place, and the tourists noticed something strange.Jiang Qi specially arranged a hut for her to distribute coupons, just like the ticket window, Feng Guihua sat inside, and tourists lined up outside to get the coupons.

Of course, there is also a reason for Feng Guihua to issue coupons during this period.

The reason is that the end of the new year is approaching, and Taiping Town will give out benefits. Grandma Feng Guihua, the oldest in the town, will regularly distribute New Year coupons in the town, all as a way for tourists to have a good start in the new year.

If the reason is well found, reputation is indispensable.

Many tourists don't spend the coupons after receiving them, and use them as collections.

This is a New Year limited coupon, limited coupon!

have to keep it.
.
February 2, New Year's Eve 11.

The atmosphere of the New Year in the amusement park is already very strong. As the New Year approaches, the number of tourists in the park has not decreased but increased. The tourists are basically young people who do not need to work, do not need to prepare New Year’s Eve dinner, and have nothing to do.

These young people not only came in groups of three or four, but also brought their younger cousins, cousins, nephews and nieces, who were seven or eight years old, and three or four years old, who were at the troubled age.

Anyway, tickets under 1 meters are free, and tickets under 2 meters are half-ticket.

The legend that all the rambunctious children will become extraordinarily well-behaved after entering the amusement park has already spread to the ears of every parent in Xuncheng.Now if the families around the amusement park have any parent-child activities, the first choice must be the amusement park.

Not for anything else, just for the sake of children.

It doesn't matter whether you are happy or not, the most important thing is that the children don't make trouble.

Because the 29th of the day after tomorrow is a two-day holiday, and because of going to work again on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the staff in the amusement park are also beaming, as if they will have a holiday tomorrow.

Both Hu Qing and Shen Lirong have bought air tickets to go home on the morning of the 29th. It has been many years since the two of them went home to have a New Year's Eve dinner with their families at the same time.

Although there are only two days off this year, the two still choose to go home, because according to the tradition of Hu Qing's hometown, their New Year's dinner is eaten at noon and not at night.

Hu Qing and Shen Lirong can have a reunion dinner at noon on New Year's Eve, and then fly back in the evening, and go to work normally on the first day of the new year.

This is this year, and when the villa next to the amusement park is finished next year, the two of them will be able to bring their family to the amusement park for the New Year, and let the family spend a few more days in the amusement park.

Jiang Qi was looking at the leave form handed in by the personnel department.

Some employees in the amusement park are from out of town like Hu Qing and Shen Lirong, and they want to take two more days off to spend more time with their families during the Chinese New Year.The personnel department will grant leave according to the leader's feedback, the employee's own situation and the busyness of the department. Generally speaking, there are not many people who ask for leave.

Most of the employees in the amusement park are locals. Watching family members is very simple, and you can watch them when you get home from get off work.

Just when Jiang Qi took out his pen to sign, the game prompt sounded suddenly in his mind.

"Congratulations to player Jiang Qi for upgrading the character card [Feng Guihua] to three stars. This card has been upgraded to full stars and will not occupy a card slot."

"The card [Feng Guihua] is currently selecting three stars, please wait patiently."

Jiang Qi:!
Feng Guihua has three stars!
