Gu Bai sighed regretfully while typing on the keyboard to reply to these inquiries.
He recently won the Art Expo Center project, which is progressing gratifyingly, but it will be finished in about a week.
After that, he has to concentrate on drawing the pictures that Mr. Si wants, and then there will be a rest period of about a month.
A full month.
Gu Bai thought about it and felt that he should be able to squat at home and paint two paintings during the period.
But he didn't know how to set the price.
It’s not like you can draw one or two homework in three days in school. The price of the finished product is definitely different from that of special customization. The price is also different for oil painting, watercolor, sketch or other paintings.
The cost of materials and time are also taken into account.
Gu Bai thought about it for a while, and then asked each of these people what kind of pictures they wanted to customize.
Of the four, one wanted oil painting, two wanted watercolor, and one wanted ink.
Gu Bai directly rejected the last one who wanted ink painting.
Ink painting Gu Bai has indeed painted and sold it, but this is not his area of expertise.
Gu Bai knew very well about his abilities.
Gu Bai asked about the specifications and the main body of the screen they wanted, then silently took out his mobile phone and clicked on the WeChat group of Professor Gao's small team.
In the past—when Huang Yining asked Gu Bai to paint, Gu Bai didn’t know how to set prices, and he never thought of asking for help from teachers and senior brothers.
But now it's different.
Gu Bai trusted his teachers and brothers in his heart, and when he needed help, he naturally chose to ask them for help.
The brothers discussed and discussed, combined with Gu Bai's qualifications, and finally set a price of 6,000 for an oil painting and 4,000 for a watercolor based on their experience, and did not accept the revised manuscript.
It is not a computer board painting, and it is a one-time material cost to change it, and the cost is too high.
Gu Bai said it was fine, and then replied to the person who wanted to paint on a certain treasure according to the opinions of the brothers.
The one who wanted oil paintings accepted the price without hesitation, while the two who wanted watercolors were probably frightened by Gu Bai's jump from 200 to 4,000, so they didn't say a word for a while.
Gu Bai didn't mind their silence, and he was happy enough to receive a private order of 6,000.
After receiving half of the deposit from the other party without hesitation, Gu Bai happily recorded the matter in the memo, and placed the painting behind Mr. Si.
Gu Bai was going to make repeated revisions to Si Yiming's paintings during the work break and finally set the composition, which was already five days later.
He went to Si Yiming at nine o'clock in the evening with the line draft.
Si Yiming also felt that this brat was really amazing.
He thought that after being beaten on the butt, the little monster would go around him, but he never expected that early in the morning after that day, Gu Bai prepared breakfast for him as usual.
But instead of ringing the doorbell to call him to open the door, he chose to hang things on the doorknob and leave a message with a small note.
It is estimated that he was still frightened, Si Yiming thought so at the time.
However, a few days later, Gu Bai still rang the doorbell to bring him breakfast, and said good morning with a smile on his face, without showing any sign of fear.
It was the first experience for Si Yiming to be so clingy to a little monster—or the little monster he beaten.
"Good evening, Mr. Si." Gu Bai held the painting and stood at the door looking at Si Yiming.
Mr. Si's spirit seemed to have recovered quite well. Gu Bai watched Si Yiming's face gradually calm down from gloomy these days. He breathed a sigh of relief, and then unfolded the line draft in his hand to Si Yiming. Yi Ming looked.
"This is a line draft, can you read it?" Gu Bai asked.
Si Yiming turned his eyes and landed on Gu Bai's painting.
With just one glance, he could see that what Gu Bai painted was the scene that night when he expelled evil spirits.
Si Yiming rarely looked at himself from the perspective of a bystander. He looked at Gu Bai's composition, and only felt that there was a fierce aura that came from the same source as him.
Si Yiming paused slightly, nodded, and said to Gu Bai: "You can play freely, I will not restrict or interfere with the artist's creation."
Gu Bai was stunned by the word "artist", but he couldn't help but feel happy.
But no one ever said he was an artist, Gu Bai thought.
He himself is working hard for this goal, but he is still 108,000 miles away from being worthy of this title.
But it is also very happy to be called by someone.
Gu Bai returned home with the line draft happily, and decided to make a few creamy recipes tomorrow night and feed it to Mr. Si tomorrow.
Si Yiming looked at Gu Bai's back attentively, held his chin lightly and thought for a while, a few light white streamers flashed through his eyes, and then he showed a sudden look.
He looked back, then turned to the door of room number 667, and hooked his fingers lightly.
The fox spirit, who had just returned an hour ago, ran out cowardly.
"You have a vacation recently." Si Yiming said, "Look at Gu Bai more."
Zhai Liangjun was stunned: "What's the matter?"
"Probably have eaten too well recently." Si Yiming glanced at the door of Room 666, "I have made up for all the losses I had lost in the past. It is estimated that it is beginning to enter the growth period."
To put it bluntly, it means that there is excess nutrition. These excess nutrients accumulate together, and the body is ready to leave the cub stage and enter the growth stage.
The lifespan of monsters is quite long, but since they have almost no resistance to external threats at the cub stage, they will desperately use all means to quickly pass this stage.
And those who can't get past it quickly, basically have the talent to hold their breath to death without revealing a little bit of talent.
This talent will continue until they accumulate enough nutrients—that is, spiritual energy, and when they feel no external threat, they suddenly relax, and then enter the growth stage in one fell swoop.
The condition of the pups in the growing stage can be quite unstable.
It is specifically reflected in the sudden enhancement of physical fitness, as well as indirect aura leakage that fluctuates with emotions, and some uncontrollable strange accidents.
Si Yiming, who had not been in contact with cubs for many years, did not react until today, but he didn't have time to stare at Gu Bai all the time, so the responsibility fell on the vixen who was fairly strong.
"Take some dried Buzhoushan fruit with you, and feed him a piece if he gets emotional." Si Yiming said, "Don't let him have an accident."
Si Yiming was quite satisfied with Gu Bai's paintings.
It is still a line draft that can feel a trace of power that is of the same origin as him, and when the finished product comes out, it will not be much worse.
After seeing Huang Yining's new skin, Si Yiming has been eagerly looking forward to having more helpers.
If Gu Bai's paintings can maintain this level or even a step closer, the workload of their hard-working divine beasts will be greatly reduced.
Si Yiming said very gently that if something happened to this little cub, he would pluck out all the fox fur of Mr. Actor who was a professional drag.
As a result, when Gu Bai went to feed Si Yiming early the next day, he bumped into Zhai Liangjun who didn't know when he would return.
Mr. Zhai saw Gu Bai and secretly observed that after the routine morning communication between Gu Bai and Si Yiming every morning, he jumped out of the corner and slammed Gu Bai, who was shocked.
The vixen hummed and muttered that Si Yiming would eat whatever he wanted to eat.
Without hesitation, Gu Bai took out a creamy recipe from his backpack and handed it to Zhai Liangjun.
"Long time no see, Mr. Zhai." Gu Bai blushed brightly, looking up at Zhai Liangjun and smiling.
"It's been a long time." Zhai Liangjun calculated, "It's only been a week."
Gu Bai followed suit, and it seemed to be the case, but he just felt that it had been a long time, and the mural work at the S City Art Expo Center was almost finished.
"I'm on vacation recently." Zhai Liangjun said, and opened the box of Buttercream, picked up the plastic fork that Gu Bai thoughtfully put inside, and cut a large piece into his mouth.
Zhai Liangjun's new movie was finished, and he pushed all the subsequent activities neatly, because he was going to start working hard for the monster flow company.
But before that, he needs to recharge his batteries and rest for a few days, lest he will face the gang of monsters who are the king of enclosures.
But it is said to be recharged, Zhai Liangjun is a restless person.
He harassed Huang Yining on weekdays, but he didn't dare to harass Si Yiming when Huang Yining wasn't there. Last night, he was picked up by Si Yiming and ordered to protect this little cub. For his beautiful fur, Mr. Zhai has been preparing to incarnate Gu in the past few days. Bai's back pendant never leaves him.
"Where are you going today? Take me one." Zhai Liangjun said.
"I'm going to work." Gu Bai said apologetically, "No outsiders can be brought in in the park."
"There's nothing you can't bring." Zhai Liangjun finished eating the creamy cubes in a few mouthfuls and threw the box into the trash, "Guess I can brush my face in it?"
Then Gu Bai was stunned as he watched Mr. Zhai take off his sunglasses in front of the security guard, and then walked into the park unimpeded.
Gu Bai hesitantly looked at Zhai Liangjun, and then at the security guard over there: "This way... the security guard will deduct wages, right?"
"Silly, you really think I'm brushing my face, I made a phone call." Zhai Liangjun pressed Gu Bai's shoulder and turned him in a direction, "Take me to see your work."
After thinking about it, Gu Bai still went to the studio as usual, put today's breakfast and small desserts on the workbench, and then took Zhai Liangjun to the two 3D walls.
"This is the best viewing spot." Gu Bai said, tilting his head to look at Zhai Liangjun with anticipation in his eyes, "How is it?"
Mr. Zhai tilted his head to look at the two walls, and then looked at Gu Bai who wanted to be praised all over his face.
In fact, this kind of visual error is not very useful for the eyesight of a big monster like Zhai Liangjun. He can clearly see the traces of paint smearing from a distance.
But Yokai's aesthetic is not just the picture itself.
As I said before, the aesthetics of monsters mainly depends on the spirit of the author contained in this painting.
In Zhai Liangjun's eyes, these two walls were as dazzling as searchlights at night, and the walls exuded an astonishing aura.
"It's incredible, Gu Xiaobai." Zhai Liangjun was stunned.
No wonder Huang Yining would look for Gu Bai, their skin painting has always been very sensitive to the line of painting.
Zhai Liangjun patted Gu Bai's shoulder: "You will definitely become a very powerful boss in the future."
Gu Bai looked at Zhai Liangjun with bright eyes.
The fruit of labor is definitely a very fulfilling and very happy thing.
Gu Bai's emotions have always been easy to understand. With that straightforward look, Zhai Liangjun couldn't help but lightly pinched the flesh of his cheek, kneading it into a round shape.
"Let me tell you, this mural is absolutely incredible." Zhai Liangjun said.
Whether it is placed in humans or monsters, it is quite incredible.
With these two walls here, there will definitely be many monsters looking for Gu Bai to paint in the future.
"I hope a lot of people can watch it." Gu Bai pinched his cheeks and said vaguely, "Everyone doesn't seem to like watching art exhibitions or anything. The publicity of this expo center is very cool."
It's really cold. The first exhibition in early September is said to only open the first exhibition hall. Because this is a new hall, there are not many artists who can be invited to participate in the exhibition.
"Nonsense! How come no one is watching?"
Zhai Liangjun put down his hand, took out his mobile phone, clicked on Weibo, turned on the camera, turned his head to Gu Bai with a smile and said, "Gu Xiaobai, I'll make a magic trick for you!"
The author has something to say: Si Yiming: Our goal is to…
Zhai Liangjun: Protect our Gu Xiaobai! blow him! love him! Take care of him! [The rubbing of the dog's legs.jpg
