Chapter 310 Portrait Rights

Shi Tingyu started painting right after returning to the former West Brigade.

Lu Weiguo specially cleared a space in their room and spread newspapers on the floor so that his wife could paint.

Shi Tingyu couldn't stop painting.

He knew that his mother couldn't be disturbed when she was painting, so he played with his father and Li Jian all day.

Shi Tingyu basically stayed in the room except for eating and going to the bathroom. If Lu Weiguo hadn't been unable to bear it and took her out to get some fresh air, she might have stayed until the creation was completed.

Before he saw her painting, he was very puzzled why the palette was not heavy, so she was so tired that her shoulders hurt. Later he realized that everything should be done in moderation.

It would be strange if his wife didn't feel pain during the time she was holding the palette.

So every time he would take her out to relax and stretch her muscles.

At the beginning, Shi Tingyu would be a little angry when she was interrupted from her creation, and Lu Weiguo was worried about this for a long time, but when it was time to remind her, he was not vague at all.

Now that she has been interrupted, Shi Tingyu has adapted well.

Time passed in Shi Tingyu's creation, and in a blink of an eye it was the Lantern Festival. Shi Tingyu looked at the two finished oil paintings, but her eyes were not satisfied.

It's not that the paintings are not good, but with these two landscape paintings, I always feel that there is something missing in this era. If I participate in the competition with one of these two paintings, I may not get the ranking I want.

Thinking of this, she put the painting aside, said something to Lu Weiguo, and went out.

Lu Weiguo glanced at his son sitting in the stroller, "Shen Shen, what's wrong with Mom?"

Shen Shen blinked his big eyes and said uncertainly, "Dad is angry?"

Lu Weiguo glared at him, "Don't talk nonsense."

After that, he picked up Shen Shen with some worry and went to chase his wife.

Finally, Lu Weiguo found Shi Tingyu by the Xihegou.

She squatted beside, holding her chin with her hands and looking at the people digging the river on the Xihegou side.

Her eyes were very focused, watching the busy crowd for a long time without saying a word, and she didn't even notice that he, Shen Shen and Li Jian had arrived.

Lu Weiguo didn't make a sound to disturb her. He took Shen Shen and Li Jian to the side to wait for her under the sun.

Shi Tingyu watched for an hour. She

didn't feel anything when she changed her posture while watching, but when she stood up, her legs were numb.

She stood still with a grin on her face, and slapped her legs a few times.

Seeing this, Lu Weiguo immediately stepped forward and supported her, "Are your legs numb?"

Shi Tingyu turned around and saw that it was her man, and asked in surprise, "When did you come?"

"I came here when I saw you come out."

Shen Shen saw that his mother seemed to be a little uncomfortable, and he struggled to get out of his father's arms, "Dad, I'm leaving."

Lu Weiguo put him down as he said, turned around and helped Shi Tingyu up with both hands, without any reluctance.

Shen Shen thought to himself, doesn't his father even try to be polite to him?

Shi Tingyu supported Lu Weiguo and slowly moved back. After walking for a while, they slowly slowed down.

Lu Weiguo couldn't help but scold her: "I saw you squatting there and changing your feet from time to time. You thought you were so capable, but you tortured yourself."

Shi Tingyu gave him an accusing look, "I'm like this~"

Lu Weiguo's words were blocked by her eyes.

"Okay, I won't say anything to you, but next time no matter what you do, you must put your body first."

Shi Tingyu immediately promised: "Okay!"

After returning home, Shi Tingyu turned back to her room, took out her sketchbook and drew what she saw.

She is better at landscapes and figures, so she chose landscape paintings at first, but now she finds that the working people of this era are also a good material.

With inspiration, Shi Tingyu's movements became faster.

This time she painted a group portrait of the members working in Xihegou.

She was a person with a strong sense of law, and before putting people in the painting, she had to get their consent first.

"Weiguo, I will write a portrait rights license agreement later. Can you take it to the people in the team to sign it? It's ten yuan per person."

"Portrait rights?" Lu Weiguo was a little confused.

Shi Tingyu only realized at this time that there is no portrait rights protection law in China.

In later generations, as someone who often deals with portraits, Shi Tingyu seemed to remember that portrait rights and reputation rights were first stipulated in the "General Principles of Civil Law" in 1986, which means that there is no such thing as portrait rights in China now.

Seeing the man's puzzled look, Shi Tingyu explained, "When you are abroad, you must get the consent of others to use their portraits, otherwise it is illegal."

"Although our country does not have it now, it will definitely appear in the future with the speed of development of China. I don't want my works to be dug out and demanded for compensation after a few years because of the portrait issue."

Although Lu Weiguo felt that things would not develop to the point his wife said, he respected Shi Tingyu's opinion.

Seeing that Lu Weiguo agreed, the two began to recall the people who dug the river in Xihegou at that time.

There was a person Shi Tingyu knew, that was their neighbor to the west, Lu Damao.

The reason why she knew them was because Shi Tingyu heard the gossip about their family when she came back from her last home visit with Lu Weiguo, and she still had a deep impression of it.

It was the family where the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quarreled and said, "If you hit me, I will hit your son." Shi Tingyu

didn't know the people behind them very well.

But Lu Weiguo remembered them very well because he knew them all and watched for nearly an hour.

There were six people who needed to be portrayed in detail in the painting. The remaining virtual distant scenes and people with their backs or sides facing them did not need to be portrayed in detail, so many of them were just mentioned in a few strokes, and there was no problem with the right of portrait.

After listing the people, Lu Weiguo took a look and found that only Lu Damao's house was close. It was already late at night, so he decided to sign Lu Damao's consent form first.

Shi Tingyu went back to his room, took out a pen and paper, and simply drafted a portrait rights authorization agreement.

Although it was simply drafted, it contained all the necessary information.

Lu Weiguo waited for Shi Tingyu to finish writing, then took it over to have a look.

Wow, it's done quite properly.

Shi Tingyu checked it again, and after making sure there was no problem, she let Lu Weiguo take the money and the contract to the next door.

Shi Tingyu waited for Lu Weiguo to leave, then quickly moved a small stool to the wall, stepped on it, and poked her head out of the wall to look at the opposite side.

Almost at the moment she stood up, Lu Weiguo's figure appeared in the yard next door.

Lu Weiguo had sharp senses, and he immediately spotted Shi Tingyu lying on the wall.

He waved the contract in his hand at her and called Lu Damao.

Lu Damao came out of the house and smiled when he saw Lu Weiguo, "Weiguo is here? Come in and sit down!"

Lu Weiguo shook his head, "Don't bother, I have something to talk to you about, it will be over in a while."

After Lu Damao heard it, he brought a stool over from the side and sat on one side, "What's the matter, Weiguo?"
