After breakfast, Xie Mingzhe brought Yu Ke to Nirvana Studio.
When Chen Xiao found out that Xiao Xie wanted to make scene cards, he was very supportive. However, Chen Xiao himself was not professional in art, so he could not help with drawing large-scale scenes. However, he could recruit talents in this area.
Xie Mingzhe suggested, "The Imperial University School of Fine Arts is full of talented people. I want to find a painter in the school. It will be easier to communicate with people of the same age. Also, if we are close to each other, we can discuss things at any time."
Chen Xiao nodded: "I think it's okay. It would be best to find a graduate who can stay in Nirvana Studio full-time. While making scene cards, he can also help us check the design of other battle cards, just like the art director of the studio."
Yu Ke said: "Then this person must be reliable! Otherwise, if the cards we designed are exposed in advance, it will be difficult to deal with them in the future."
Chen Qianlin reminded: "When signing a contract, pay attention to adding confidentiality and breach of contract clauses, and it is best to investigate the other party's background."
Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, brother. I have already found a professional lawyer to redraft the studio's contract."
Several people quickly reached a consensus.
At present, Nirvana still has too few people, and Xie Mingzhe will be under great pressure. Not only does he have to make cards for himself and Yu Ke, but he also has to make time to go to the arena to practice the awareness of playing in the game. If he also takes on the work of scene cards, he will not have enough energy.
As for the scene cards, Xie Mingzhe's idea is that he will come up with some design concepts and scene elements, and leave the specific drawing of a real scene with a sense of space to the professional painters in the studio. This can not only realize his ideas, but also greatly save his time and energy, allowing him to focus more on the production of battle cards.
No one is an all-rounder.
If a club wants to grow and develop, it must allow different talents to perform their respective duties and work together.
Although Nirvana is not well-known at present, it has already begun to take shape. At least in the guild, Chi Qing, Yingying, Xiaopang and Jin Yue are able to manage it completely. The strong backing is gradually becoming stable, and everyone feels at ease.
As for other assistants, you can look for them slowly.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner.
Xie Mingzhe had to complete the homework assigned by the professor, so he had no time to draw cards these days.
On Wednesday, all students handed in their assignments on time, but Professor Chen's grades came out very quickly. Most students in the entire painting class scored 6-7 points, no more than 10 scored above 8 points, and only two students got 9 points.
One of them was the most beautiful girl in the painting class, Liu Xue, who was said to be from a wealthy family. She started learning painting at the age of three and studied under a famous painter. She has won numerous awards since she was young and has held independent exhibitions at a young age. She will definitely become a professional painter after graduation. Xie Mingzhe has never spoken to her and is not familiar with her.
But what surprised Xie Mingzhe was that another work that received a score of 9 from the weird old man was actually by someone he knew - Qin Xuan.
Is my roommate so awesome?
Xie Mingzhe scored 8 points for this assignment. He painted a bamboo forest, and the composition was a bit difficult. Fortunately, he painted each bamboo vividly, so he was very satisfied with the 8 points given by the teacher.
Qin Xuan got 9 points, but I wonder what he drew?
Unfortunately, in order to protect the students' privacy, the professor did not make this assignment public.
After returning to the dormitory, Xie Mingzhe saw Qin Xuan packing paints, so he took the initiative to approach and asked, "You got 9 points for your homework this time, that's amazing, what did you draw?"
Qin Xuan's tone was very calm: "Pond."
Pond? He only used green to render the pond. He must have also drawn a lot of grass, lotus leaves, etc. The composition must be very complicated, so the professor gave it a high score of 9.
Xie Mingzhe chuckled and changed the subject, "By the way, the video footage of the preliminary and semi-finals is not posted on the forum. I didn't see what deck you used when you participated in the competition that day. If you didn't give up in the round of 16, would you have defeated Yu Ke?"
The video of the finals was forwarded everywhere. Even if they were not students of Imperial Capital University, many netizens knew about Yu Ke and his new joker deck with a unique style.
Qin Xuan certainly knew Yu Ke. When Xie Mingzhe asked him this, he was silent for a moment. After a while, he said, "I participated in the competition just for fun. I didn't expect to win a prize."
He did not answer the question directly, and Xie Mingzhe became even more doubtful about his true strength.
I don't know why, but Xie Mingzhe always feels that his roommate has many secrets and must be a powerful character. The person who gave up halfway might really have the strength to compete with Yu Ke for the championship?
**
Saturday came in a blink of an eye.
Early in the morning, Xie Mingzhe called Chen Xiao to come to the school to see the art exhibition.
The exhibition hall of the Teito University School of Fine Arts will be open to the public today. In addition to students of the school, people from other societies can also visit the school.
The exhibition hall is four stories high, and its area is almost comparable to that of a large stadium, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people at the same time. From the first to the fourth floor, the works of students from the first to the fourth grade are displayed respectively. If you like any of them, you can bid for them.
Xie Mingzhe had made an appointment for the 10 a.m. show. Chen Xiao arrived on time and Yu Ke also came over to join in the fun.
After checking their tickets, the three of them walked into the exhibition hall. Xie Mingzhe suggested, "Let's start from the fourth floor. The fourth floor contains the works of students who are about to graduate this year. The overall quality should be the highest."
Chen Xiao also agreed that it would be easier for students who are about to graduate to sign in at Nirvana Studio.
After going up to the fourth floor, Xie Mingzhe began to observe carefully from the first painting.
He rejected all pictures of people, still life, flowers, etc., and only looked for people who were good at drawing scenes.
He noted down the complete composition, solid painting and unique style in his memo and planned to conduct a second round of screening later.
Yu Ke didn't understand art, so when he saw some paintings with particularly bright colors, he thought they were beautiful. However, Xie Mingzhe just glanced over them. Yu Ke scratched his head in confusion and decided to just be a spectator.
Chen Xiao was also a layman, and his eyes were dazzled by the exhibition pictures of various styles, so he calmly put his hands in his pockets and followed Xie Mingzhe - it would be better to let Xie Mingzhe, an expert, decide on the matter of finding an artist.
Xie Mingzhe took on the task without hesitation, and scoured the densely packed exhibition pictures to find a master whose painting style matched his aesthetic taste and who was good at painting scenes.
Most of the works on display at the exhibition were exquisite still life paintings. Large scene paintings were rare. Xie Mingzhe quickly walked through the fourth floor and only picked out two good ones to take note of.
I only picked three pictures on the third floor. However, I saw a huge two-meter-long scene picture at the corner of the second floor. It showed a parent taking a few children to an amusement park. It was full of dynamic scenes, with roller coasters, carousels and other amusement facilities. Not only was the scene large enough, but the expressions of the characters were also vivid.
Chen Xiao said: "Isn't this good?"
Xie Mingzhe said, "I'll write it down first and contact the author later."
Chen Xiao nodded and said, "Yes. Many talented students may not be willing to sign up to work as scene designers in our club. After all, the Nirvana Club is not famous at all, so we can increase the salary appropriately."
Xie Mingzhe sighed and said, "Overall, this picture is indeed the best one among the scene pictures, but I don't particularly like his style. Alas, if we can't find it in school, we can only publicly post the recruitment information to netizens, but in that case, the people who come for the interview may not be reliable."
Chen Xiao said, "Yes, I also prefer to look for it in school. I haven't looked at the first floor yet, let's take a look."
As we were chatting, Yu Ke suddenly said "Hey" and pointed to a painting at the corner of the first floor: "Look at that painting, it's so weird!"
Xie Mingzhe followed his gaze and saw a painting with a very unique style hanging in the corner.
The tone of this painting is very depressing. In the darkness, a mysterious castle looms, with a blood-red light shining from the top. The trees around the castle have all withered, and some shabby crosses stained with blood are hung on them. Crows fly across the sky, blocking the cold moonlight. A gust of wind blows, and the cross casts a chaotic shadow on the ground, like a demon with bared fangs and claws.
A man was walking alone in the darkness. He was wearing a pure black cloak and his body almost blended into the night, but his eyes were blood red, his face was as pale as paper, and a sharp fang was revealed at the corner of his slightly raised mouth.
When Chen Xiao saw the painting, he was shocked: "Is this a vampire?"
Yu Ke shook his head and said, "This picture is comparable to the vampire movies I've seen. Does the painter also like the horror style?"
Xie Mingzhe's eyes lit up and he immediately ran downstairs, came to the front of the painting and looked carefully at the artist next to it.
Academy of Fine Arts, Painting Class, First Year Qin Xuan.
It turned out to be the work of the mysterious roommate Qin Xuan!
This "Vampire Castle" is mixed in with a lot of brightly colored exhibition pictures around it, and its style can be said to be very distinctive.
What surprised Xie Mingzhe even more was that Qin Xuan’s use of colors reached the extreme. He used only the simple three colors of black, red and white to render a terrifying and gloomy late night scene. His paintings were so realistic that standing in front of the paintings, it seemed that he could feel the cold wind blowing through the castle and hear the shrill cries of crows in the sky.
This guy is definitely a genius.
If he were asked to draw the bloody hell scene card, perhaps he would achieve the effect he wanted.
Xie Mingzhe was delighted. Compared to the amusement park he saw from upstairs, the vampire castle painted by Qin Xuan was obviously more to Xie Mingzhe's liking - the person he wanted to find was actually both far away and right in front of him.
Qin Xuan, you can't run away, you must join us in Nirvana! Xie Mingzhe looked at the painting with a smile, and began to think in his heart, how to convince his roommate to join?
In the distance, Qin Xuan, who was sitting by the window calmly drinking tea, suddenly sneezed loudly.
Why do I always feel like someone is watching me?
Qin Xuan frowned and was about to get up and leave when the president of the student union of the Academy of Fine Arts, who was organizing the event, hurried up to him and said, "Junior, someone wants to buy your vampire painting. Are you willing to sell it?"
The author has something to say:
If you are interested in the scene settings, you can click into the author's column to read my previous e-sports novel "God-level Summoner". In the world championship volume, each country's national team has a unique scene map. The scene map of the Chinese team is very interesting!
The scenes of this book will be mainly ancient, and Pipizhe's painting style should be unified. The blood pond hell is just the first test, and there will be more annoying ones later :)
