Almighty painter

Chapter 38 Heperion1077
"Hello, if possible, could you clarify your needs and price?"

On the other side of the ocean, Gu Weijing tapped the keyboard and sent a question mark.

Soliciting manuscripts is a very customized matter, and each order has its own situation.

Although Gu Weijing wrote a picture of ten dollars on the signboard, in fact, this only means that his fee is not high, and it is better to discuss the specific situation with the buyer individually.

It's normal to pay ten dollars for a stick figure bunny, but if the other party wants to paint "Mona Lisa", they can't just charge ten dollars, right?

"Character illustrations require a paper version and cannot be completely electronically drawn."

He had just received a request for a manuscript from the other side, and it should be online, so the reply was very fast.

"figure."

Originally, Gu Weijing accepted all kinds of manuscripts, but he did not draw many figures, because figures are much more complicated than pets.

Now that he has obtained "Human Structure Anatomy", Gu Weijing really has the urge to draw the human body, just like you bought a new hammer, so everything looks like a nail.

However, he was the first to click into the user's homepage.

This kind of user name with a string of English plus a string of numbers has nothing special, and there is no avatar.

In addition to showing that the delivery address is in San Francisco, gender, preferences, and purchasing habits are all blank.

Gu Weijing shook his head slightly.

Like a Fiverr account that someone randomly registers to make a few deals, the intuitive feeling is not very reliable.

"Hello, if you ask for a draft online... I don't paint butter here, and I don't paint subjects above R18 that involve blood and extreme violence that are restricted by law. If it's a private painting of a character, the content scale needs to meet the platform restrictions."

Gu Weijing does not refuse to paint naked curves. Basically, artists are familiar with the human body. Many famous paintings exhibited by art museums can make conservative people blush.

For pure art, the laws of various countries are very loose.

Even the world-class famous paintings that can be listed in the art textbooks of students from all over the world are nude. Just think about it, there are a lot of classic works, such as Ingres’s "Grand Lady", one of the masterpieces of the Louvre Museum, British Royal Art Society John Currier's Lady Godiva on Horseback…

Komatsu Taro's father, RB artist Kenta Komatsu, is known as "Klimt who lives in Osaka".

And the Austrian painter Klimt himself had a famous maxim that shocked artists-"All art is pornographic."

However, when you ask for a painting online, you don't know the specific identity, age, or even the specific use of the painting.

Therefore, Gu Weijing's standards tend to be conservative.

He thought for a while, and felt that what he had to say was almost the same, and finally added a sentence: "The payment method only accepts the platform, and does not accept private transactions of telegram or virtual currency."

There was no response from the other side.

After a few seconds, Hyperion1077 sent a big smiley face.

……

"LOOK, This is the next deal we... (Viewers, this is the next deal we are making.)"

At the same time, Thomas' personal video studio in San Francisco, USA.

【From One Dollar to One Million Dollars】The new video of the series is already in the process of intense recording.

One hundred dollars and one thousand dollars are easy to find, but the price of ten dollars is indeed a bit low, and most part-time painters look down on them, especially in Europe and the United States where the per capita income is relatively high.

Thomas himself didn't expect that a ten-dollar artist could paint any flowers. Anyway, all he needed was a background work that paved the way for the impact of a million-level work.

He is mentally prepared for how bad it is.

This price point is full of students and amateurs. He feels that he can tell where the head is and where the foot is. He is very satisfied.

After all, I exchanged one dollar for the work from the wandering painter on the streets of San Francisco.

how to say?

It took the wandering "artist" 12 seconds from receiving money to delivering the manuscript.

Thomas didn't even know the front and back of the painting.

Thomas is not at all optimistic about the works that can be bought for ten dollars.

If this kind of cheap painter can paint perfectly and lifelike, then what would he spend a million dollars on?

Thomas's personal judgment, illustrations under $[-] and illustrations over $[-].Even people who don't know much about art can probably tell the good from the bad at a glance.

"This is a part-time artist account just registered, called Detective Cat. We can see that its poster is also a cat with a monocle. It's cute. I like it..."

He raised his head from the computer, looked at the movie head of the Arri 20K movie camera worth 4 dollars in the hands of the camera brother, and put his hands on the side of his body.

"For ten dollars, you can buy a three-layer cheeseburger combo in a Burger King fast food restaurant, you can buy four hot dogs at a hot dog vendor on the side of the road in San Francisco, and you can also find a cheap artist on Fiverr who is willing to complete an illustration for you .But I don’t think there will be any surprising works.”

His hand tapped three times in a row.

Thomas is not live, it is still in the video recording stage.

The special effects team will produce corresponding special effects and illustrations in the post-production period, and paste poster pictures of Burger King, Hot Dog and Detective Cat respectively.

With his size of hundreds of millions of fans, he has long since broken away from the small workshop mode of ordinary UP owners.

The production cycle of the channel's short video ranges from a few weeks to a month.

Thomas only needs to be responsible for conceiving the content and hosting the program, and a very professional team will complete the rest of the post-production, special effects, and video editing.

When this video is officially launched on Youtube, during the entire video process, the later working group will use special effects to edit the cats on the homepage of the ten-dollar website and the posters of other studios with different prices. Together, placed in the upper right corner of the video with a ($10) logo.

"The store replied to my message, um... I don't paint butter, I don't paint R18... I just found out that the painter still has this kind of business."

Hyperion made a playful big face for the camera, holding the screen on his phone in front of the camera.

The first video is 10 minutes long.

The time left for the introduction of this small shop will not exceed ten seconds. This chat can be regarded as a small video highlight, and you can save a shot when it's time to pour.

The photographer brother made an OK gesture.

……

"Ten dollars is a bit low for painting portraits. You need to pay extra for this kind of big painting? Look..."

Gu Weijing typed tentatively.

"It's only ten dollars." The other party answered without any room for refusal.

"But... I don't need you to draw too big a picture."

"The height of the paper is 10 centimeters, and the width is about 6 centimeters. A little personal creativity can be added, but it should not be higher than 15 centimeters or less than 4 centimeters."

Thomas is very economical.

More than $100 million was invested in this video, in addition to the proceeds from the video broadcast.

He will also paste the paintings he bought on mugs as creative sketches, and launch his own peripheral shopping mall.

"Ten centimeters? Hmm." Gu Weijing roughly gestured.

Very mini for portraiture.

But it's not too small. Before the invention of the camera, some people would ask people to draw the heads or busts of family members with simple strokes and put them in the pearl pendant or folding mirror. fine brush.

"Don't worry, your drawing is almost fine, I won't ask you to revise your draft repeatedly."

The other person seemed to be afraid that Gu Weijing would reject his order, so he hurriedly said.

"Ok."

Gu Weijing thought that anyway, he also needed to quickly get the praise of the order to complete the chain task.

Compared with another complex architectural scene order, even though it was only ten dollars, he still preferred this order.

"Is it a photo?"

he asked.

The opposite sent a photo of a masked man wearing a Batman armor and a bat mask, waving dollar bills in his hand.

The cloak blown by the wind behind the doll has the trademark of the peripheral shopping website “Hyperion store.” written on it.

This is the official joint bat suit of [Hyberian Channel] under the name of Thomas and DC Batman.

Because the production cost of each video can often exceed several million dollars, and the content is often very exaggerated.

Because of his "money ability", Thomas is also known by fans as Youtube Sprinkle Money Brother, Shenhao Brother or Youtube Batman.

"Batman Cosplay? Yes. But for animation content, I only provide fan illustrations for fans, but if you use it for other commercial purposes, you have to bear the risk of infringement caused by it."

Drawing Batman is no problem.

Gu Weijing didn't know who the customer opposite was, and he didn't think that the other party had the copyright of Batman.

Although Time Warner Group's legal department is free, it probably won't be free to pursue this kind of ten-dollar illustration.

But growing up in a calligraphy and painting shop since he was a child, he understands the truth of being prepared.

This time the opposite side responded quickly.

"I have a three-view and professional manuscript contract. The manuscript will be delivered within three days at the latest, OK?"

Two documents were sent across.

Gu Weijing took a quick look, and one was a photo of the man in the cloak from all angles of the front and back.

The other is an illustration contract.

The contract is very professional, and the general content is that Gu Weijing will monopolize the entire copy of the painting except the legal non-tradable authorship to the user Hyperion1077, and at the same time, the risk of the painting being used for commercial profit is borne by the other party.

Gu Weijing is no stranger to art contracts in various formats in calligraphy and painting shops. There is nothing wrong with this contract. If the other party doesn't mention it, he will send a similar explanation to the other party.

"make a deal."

After the buyer confirmed the order, Gu Weijing took out a pen and paper.
