Chapter 557 Assessment
Uncle Zhao returned to the village before dawn, and Tian Shao was boxing in the courtyard. So it is still necessary to live in a big house. The house has a large courtyard and it is convenient to do anything. You can punch and plant trees. When the comic company starts to make money, she will search secretly after receiving the manuscript fee.
Secretary Duan came over at noon, brought grapes, jujubes and other fruits, put them down and said with a smile: "Xiaotian, Jingmei called and said that everyone is here. Xiaotian, when will the interview start?"
Tian Shao thought for a while and said: "The people who arrived today must be very tired after sitting for so long. Let them rest for a night and have an interview tomorrow morning! By the way, Secretary Duan, can you borrow these painters to help me? Additional subsidies?"
Secretary Duan shook his head to express his confusion, and said: "When I go back, I'll call and ask. But Xiaotian, they all have units, and they have rations and wages every month. Even if Jingmei gives subsidies, it shouldn't be much."
Tian Shao knew it would be like this, she said: "Secretary Duan, they are helping me draw comics, and I can get the manuscript fee every issue. I think I will share part of my manuscript fee with them in the future. This should not violate Is it stipulated?"
As for how much to give, there is no rush, it will be decided at that time.
Secretary Duan can't make the decision about this matter: "I will tell the leader what you mean."
"That's troublesome."
In the evening, Uncle Zhao came back with an old bag.
Tian Shao took out all the paintings from the bag, and there were eighteen of them. She unfolded all these paintings, most of which are landscape paintings, as well as night banquets, hunting and ladies.
Uncle Zhao said: "I brought all the paintings, and there are more than 40 books that have not been taken to my nephew's house. I will bring them when I go back next time. Xiaoshao, this time I spent a total of 1,200 books. One dollar, and the rest is here."
After finishing speaking, he handed back the envelope in his pocket to Tian Shao.
Tian Shao gave him 2,000 yuan yesterday. He was worried that it would be less, but he didn't expect to keep half of it. She knew Uncle Zhao's temperament, so she took the money without hesitation.
The next day, Duan Shen came to pick Tian Shao up for Jingmei. This time he left without letting go of Tian Shao, but accompanied him all the way, even Tian Shao was patiently waiting outside when he was assessing everyone.
This was specially ordered by Liao Buda. One is that he is afraid that Tian Shao's tender face will not be able to restrain these painters, Duan Shen also has concerns about these people; the other is to know what questions Tian Shao will give those painters.
In fact, Tian Shao’s question was very simple, that is, she randomly gave these artists the characters from the two comics and asked them to draw them. She believes that these painters are fine, otherwise they would not be selected here, but the paintings also have aura. This test is to see if they are suitable for their own comics, and the closing styles are different.
Among them was a middle-aged man with white hair, who stood up immediately after receiving the figure painting and asked: "Little comrade, is our exam paper wrong? , there is no need to ride a motorcycle. And in his time, there was no way to have a motorcycle.”
Yes, I met a serious one.
Tian Shao said kindly: "This is a second creation. Comrade, please follow the original drawing first, and I will explain to you if you have any questions."
The middle-aged man looked a little tangled, but finally bowed his head and started to draw. When the others saw this, although they had doubts in their hearts, they didn't ask any more questions, and started to draw seriously.
The exam time is two hours, and Tian Shao will collect the paintings as soon as the time is up.
Half an hour later, Tian Shao handed a list to Jingmei's staff and said, "Let these eight people go back, and the remaining twelve people can stay."
Tian Shao said: "There is nothing to say about the painters of these painters, they are all very good, but these eight people don't fit well with my comic characters. The things they draw are not what I want."
Duan Shen was full of doubts, not understanding what Tian Shao wanted.
Tian Shao put his painting of Gu Chuan and a painting of an eliminated candidate on the table, and asked, "Secretary Duan, what do you think is the difference between these two paintings?"
This is quite easy to distinguish. Gu Chuan in Tian Shao's painting is not only handsome but also has firm eyes, while the character in the other painting has a straight face like a young adult.
Tian Shao said: "Secretary Duan, I have already screened out the candidates, and I will leave the rest to you. I have to go back to school when school starts tomorrow, otherwise my roommate should be in a hurry."
"Go ahead!"
Tian Shao left happily with his backpack on his back. What she didn't know was that not long after she left, the eight failed painters were not convinced and asked the leaders of Jingmei for an explanation.
At this time, Duan Shen was talking to the leader and did not leave.
The leader was the oldest in the group, and he questioned: "We came from a long way, but we were only asked to draw some weird characters, and then they said we couldn't do it? Our paintings are better than the original manuscripts, why? It won't work."
The leader of Jingmei didn't know Tian Shao's selection principles, so he looked at Duan Shen.
Duan Shen asked, "What's your name?"
"Li Qingyu."
Duan Shen asked the staff to find out his paintings, and then took the original manuscripts for comparison. Seeing this, he was speechless.
What Li Qingyu painted was Wu Neng, that is, Zhu Bajie in Journey to the West. The Wu Neng painted by Tian Shao gives people a ruffian and naughty feeling, which makes people feel that the character is a little cute; while the Wu Neng painted by Li Qingyu is fat, big-eared and sensual, which is a good restoration of " The image of Zhu Bajie in Journey to the West.
The artist Li Qingyu's is indeed better than Tian Shao's, but the character Tian Shao painted is obviously more likable. Now he suddenly understood the meaning of Tian Shao's words, the things drawn by these people really did not meet Tian Shao's requirements.
You have to draw them like this, no matter how good the plot is, people in Hong Kong City will not spend money to buy it.
Duan Shen said: "The painting is good, but if it can't meet the requirements, then it won't work."
"What is the request?"
Duan Shen said very bluntly: "A layman like me can see the problem. You are a painter yourself, can't you see the difference between the two paintings?"
"Naturally there is a difference, my drawing is better than the original."
Duan Shen can see that this is a very stubborn person, but the comic company is still in the confidential stage, so I can’t say much. He said with a straight face: "You are on a business trip this time, and you will be reimbursed for all your travel expenses and accommodation, and I will give you three more days off."
The leader of Jingmei also smoothed things over, saying: "When I come to Sijiu City, I have to go to Dashilan and the Great Wall of the Forbidden City. Today is still early, so I can go to Dashilan first; tomorrow seems to be cloudy, suitable for climbing Climb the Great Wall."
Seeing that the two leaders had spoken, Li Qingyu didn't dare to argue any more, but he was still unconvinced. Before he left Sijiu City, he wrote a letter to report Tian Shao. The relevant department received the report and sent someone to investigate, and found that it was approved by the leader above and there were documents, so the matter was let go.
