Valkyrie Europa

Chapter 334 From light to dark
After all, Director Wright still failed to do what he wanted. After all, things like painting can’t be forced. After the lure and coercion didn’t work, he had nothing to do. He couldn’t just grab a few of them back. It would damage the face of the Austrian royal family.

After saying a few harsh words and hinting a few more words, he led the people away.

Zhang Ang also waved his hand: "Everyone has worked hard after a day and a night. Let's go back first. If there are any arrangements in the future, we will post them on the street."

The low-level artists left one after another, and after a while, only Zhang Ang and Adolf were left in the comic club.

Zhang Ang was not at all worried that some of these people would be greedy for profit, so he secretly went to see Manager Wright and drew cartoons for him.Everyone likes to watch "Jack the Great Swordsman", not for its artistry or how good the painting is, but for its story!Different from those old-fashioned knight novels and legendary novels that were popular on the mainland in the past, the story of "Jack the Great Swordsman" is simpler, the rhythm is faster, and there are more unexpected developments, plus the old-fashioned plots of the previous life , in the eyes of most people, it is very novel and interesting.

And this whole set of stories has always been firmly kept in Zhang Ang's mind. Only the night before painting every day, I narrated some of them in discussions with several team leaders, which is only enough to draw 3 or 4 pages. That's all.Therefore, no one knows the development of the story afterward. Even if they come to the door and are accepted, they can only rely on their own nonsense to make up and paint.And the things drawn in this way will definitely not satisfy old readers.

The most important thing now is to break the situation, let the comic agency continue to operate, produce more comic books, tell the entire story of "Jack the Great Swordsman", and spread it throughout Austria.

That Master Laermi came over and ordered the comic book club to close. Although it was a bit surprising, it was not unexpected.Zhang Ang is also prepared. After all, Vienna is the capital of art, with a strong artistic atmosphere, and the maintenance of artistry is far stricter than other places.Just like during the New Culture Movement in the previous life, the old scholars who wrote classical Chinese looked down on the new-style literati who wrote modern literature, just like those traditional writers who write traditional literature look down on Internet writers who write Internet articles. The authors of "Yangchun Baixue" will always be Look down on the author of "Lower Riba People".

But obviously, history tells us that in many cases, the things of the "lower Riba people" are the most popular among the people. If the price can be lower, the degree of love will be even stronger.Just like the current comic books, the works of the masters cost tens of thousands of gold, which is not affordable for ordinary people. Even if you go to the art street to buy cheap goods, it will cost about 50 silver. Buy a pair and hang it at home , In fact, it does not work. Ordinary people have limited appreciation ability, and it is difficult to feel the artistry in it. It is impossible to be influenced by artistry, to infect, to sublimate their emotions.

But the manga book is different. Although it is still relatively expensive, it is still within the acceptable range. It is not unaffordable to bite the bullet.And the comic book is very cost-effective, 35 silver can buy a comic book with nearly 20 pages and 80 pictures, which is far better than 50 silver to buy a simple oil painting.More importantly, its storytelling, easy to understand, novel and wonderful, is a rare entertainment in this era. If you read it seriously, often a comic book can pass a whole boring afternoon, and you can watch it repeatedly, and Others watch it differently, discuss the plot with friends, etc., the ability to kill time is extremely strong, and it is very cost-effective.

Comics, from the very beginning, were not positioned as art, and had nothing to do with art, but just an entertainment product.Even in Zhang Ang's previous life, in the eyes of most people, those cartoons were just a plaything for children to pass the time, similar to watching TV or playing games.After all, there has never been a comic book that has been regarded as a work of art and collected and exhibited by major galleries.And the cartoonists themselves have nothing to do with those oil painters and Chinese painters, they are completely two kinds of people.

And before Zhang Ang asked a group of low-level painters to put up big-character posters on the street, waving the flag and shouting. right or wrong.But to expand the influence of the comic book!Through the debate, through the questions one by one, let the people think about it, let the manga book have a rough position in their hearts!Under that art, it is positioned as an entertainment product for killing time!Only with such a positioning, it will not be seen as so high and daunting.It will appear more approachable and easier to enter thousands of households.

Of course, although we now have a preliminary mass base, the problem of production still needs to be solved.

It's just that it can't be as bright and aboveboard as it used to be.After all, a bright comic book club opened here, anyone can come to the door, the master of painting can come to close it down, and the patrol team can come to put a seal on it, which is really not conducive to the subsequent public opinion war.It is a good way to keep the enemy in the dark.

"What shall we do next?" Adolf interrupted Zhang You's train of thought: "Do you still want to post that 'big-character poster' on the street?"

"Of course not. Next, we will reopen the comic club!" Zhang Ang replied, "However, we must change from the light to the dark! Use the method of the sages to run underground newspapers!"

"Underground newspapers? What is that?" Adolf was obviously puzzled.

"It's very simple, break it up into parts, and make the whole art street our comic club!" Zhang Ang replied.

The next day, between word of mouth, an undercurrent began to surge in art.

Even though there were no notices, countless large and small groups were organized, gathered in every hotel, every private house, and every room.

Stacks of drawing paper, bundles of paintbrushes, and boxes of paints were distributed, and samples and requests were distributed to all groups.

On the long art street, the number of people setting up stalls has decreased by more than [-]%, and the entire cartoonist seems empty, without the vitality of the past.

Under the overall arrangement, every room is busy.

In Datong shop, a group of people sat on the ground, put the drawing paper on the bed, and started to draw.
In a separate room, several people organized the drawing papers one by one into a volume, and were busy binding them
At the door of the hotel, a box was handed over, a person nodded, took the box, and walked out
In a lively restaurant, a guy wearing a cloak to hide his face stealthily pulled a young man to the corner, opened a corner of the box, and revealed the picture albums inside.

"Hey, the fifth volume of "The Great Swordsman Jack", or? The original price, 35!"
