Valkyrie Europa

Chapter 325 Consequences
Vienna, Art Street, Vienna Comics Club.

The scale of the comic club has expanded several times, and several surrounding properties have also been bought, remodeled, and opened up to integrate with the original comic club base. At first glance, it looks like an indoor building. Huge football field.Numerous pillars stand upright, supporting the roof full of skylights, turning the entire "soccer field" into a huge room.

In the large room, under countless skylights, long tables and chairs were densely packed, and the chairs beside each long table were full of people.Looking around, everyone lowered their heads, held paintbrushes, and worked hard on painting without stopping.On the three walls of the big room, there are long thin ropes, and the paintings that have just been completed are being carefully hung on them by the handyman, and they are slowly drying under the baking of the surrounding braziers. Flatten it again, and then neatly bind it up.

This is a huge painting base that accommodates more than 500 people!Almost all the low-level painters in Vienna are accommodated here.

In front of all the drawing tables, there is a separate small room, which is the residence of the two founders of the Vienna Comics Club, and it is also the place where the high-level executives of the comics club occasionally hold meetings on weekdays.

And now, this meeting is being held here.

"Well, the fifth volume has almost been produced, and it should be released tomorrow. It is estimated that there will be 3000 copies. In addition to the additional 500 copies drawn in the first few volumes, our production volume this week is almost more than last week. One-fifth!" The report is from the new department, the leader of the bookbinding and sales team, he is a composer, with a group of low-level performers, the musicians are responsible for drying, binding, and selling comic books.

"Well, not bad, it seems that the measures to improve efficiency implemented last week have worked." Zhang Ang nodded.

"Well, it works because there is no holiday. After all, we are paid on a piece basis now, and we draw more and get more, but the quality has also dropped a lot." Adolf sighed: "Like this fifth volume, the quality is obviously inferior As for the first few volumes, I also went to the place where the drawing paper was dried, and found a lot of mistakes, such as the wrong color of the characters’ clothes, reverse letters of the dialogue, and many spelling mistakes. This is not heavy. quality, it will affect the reputation of our manga club!"

"Well." Zhang Ang touched his chin and thought for a while, and replied: "This is a problem, but it is not impossible to solve it. Let's set up an audit team. The members don't need to be painters, as long as they have basic appreciation skills. I just look at the paintings, give them a review when they are finished, and hang them up after the review. Those that fail are returned, and whoever has a problem will be responsible for redrawing! Otherwise, no settlement will be paid!"

"Yes! This method is good!" The team leader of the intensive group agreed: "Many team members on my side have reported to me that many people in the painting group and line drawing group had problems and applied the wrong color. , the lines are floating, and many of them are difficult to modify. Some mistakes can be corrected, but it takes too much time. This review team is a good idea. Whoever draws the wrong ones, let them be responsible, don't always make us The refinement group has taken the blame."

"Hehe, everyone has this mistake, not just our drawing group and coloring group." The leader of the drawing group retorted: "For example, in the introduction of the narration, your refinement group is responsible for the text of the character's dialogue. It's wrong. Don't blame us."

"Whoever made a mistake will be responsible for redrawing. Painting is not like other things. If there is a problem in that link, you can see it. When the audit team finds a problem, it will be directly handed over to the person who made the mistake and asked him to redraw it. That’s it.” Before they got into a quarrel, Adolf concluded: “Everyone, go back and urge the team members, don’t draw fast for the sake of money, and if you don’t draw seriously, it will damage the reputation of our comic agency!”

"Well, then it's decided." Zhang Ang ordered: "Strauss, you are in charge of recruiting people, preferably from the art street, recruit 50 first, and form the review team! Their work is still It’s easy, let’s say it’s 3 silver a day, and recruit people according to this standard!”

Seeing that the leader of the bookbinding sales team responded, Zhang Ang continued: "Then let's move on to the next topic, which is the black and white version that sells for 10 silver that I mentioned a few days ago! The black and white version, as the name suggests, is not colored. , After drawing the line, it will be sold! Compared with the current color version, this version has many advantages. One, it has a short production process, only needing two steps of drafting and sketching lines. When it is actually produced, the output is easy to increase .Secondly, its price is cheap. It is expected to sell for 10 silver. Even ordinary people can afford it. As we all know, our color version costs 35 silver a copy, which is almost a month’s salary of ordinary citizens. Can't afford it. Third."

But before he finished speaking, there was a loud knock on the door of the comic studio, which interrupted his speech, and also disturbed the painters who were nervously painting, making them look at the door dissatisfied.

Zhang Ang frowned and winked, Adolf immediately stood up and walked to the door of the manga club.

The door of the manga club is closed on weekdays, and it is only opened when going to work in the morning, when the lunch restaurant delivers meals, and when leaving get off work in the evening.The rest of the time is the working time of painters, and it is most taboo to be disturbed by others.As for other people, if they need something to find the manga club, they will usually come during these three hours, and few people will come at other times.

With some anger, Adolf pulled the heavy steel sliding door open, and said dissatisfiedly: "No matter who it is, it's time for our comic agency to work! I don't want anyone to disturb you. If you have something to do, please do so after 6 o'clock in the evening." Come again!"

After all, he planned to close the sliding door again.

However, a hand reached in and interrupted Adolf's movements.

It was a large white and delicate hand with slender fingers, stable and powerful.

Along with the palm of the hand, there was also the voice of the owner of the hand. The voice was arrogant and could not be refused at all: "I am Laermi from the Academy of Art, and I am looking for the person in charge of your comic club."

The Academy of Arts is of course the Vienna Academy of Arts, one of the top martial arts academies in the mainland.

Lermi is a common name, but it is connected with the Academy of Arts, which represents one of the masters of this top academy!Represents one of the most famous painting masters in the entire continent!

"Master Lelemir?" Adolf's expression was a little uncertain, and the movement of pulling the door with his hand stopped.As a street painter who had applied for the Art Academy twice, Adolf had of course heard of this name, and understood the precious paintings behind this name.

The door was completely opened, led by a middle-aged man with a beard, followed by several young people who seemed to be his disciples, and a group of people walked straight into the manga club.

"Where is the manager of your comic book club?" Master Lemir looked around with a haughty expression.

"I am." Adolf said with some confusion in his tone, "I didn't know that Master Lemire would come to our comic book club."

"Me too!" Zhang Ang also came out of the conference room. He amplified his voice slightly, interrupted Adolf's inquiry, and then said directly to the group of people: "No matter what you are here for, it is the work of our comic club now. Time! If you have anything to do, please come back after 6 pm!"

"No, my time is very precious, I don't have time to argue with you here!" Master Lemier ignored Zhang Ang's request, his voice was full of impatience: "What I want to say is also very simple, a matter of a few minutes, Nothing will delay you."

"Then tell me." Zhang Ang's tone was a little cold, and his eyes were a little bit unfriendly.

But obviously, Master Lemire didn't care about Zhang Ang's dissatisfaction at all, but said directly to the painters who stopped their pens and looked over: "I'm here to announce something! What kind of Vienna are you?" The manga club will not continue to operate in the future, and it will stop from today! Those garbage albums don’t need to be drawn any more, and those that are finished will be burned by me! From now on, none of them are allowed to be sold out!”
