Old Gods, Tommy Guns, and Prohibition

I am too obsessed with painting. Many people think that they can become famous just by traveling back in time and copying paintings by random masters. Many urban literary novels have this common problem, which is equivalent to bringing modern clothing design back to ancient times. The ancients will not think that your design is very good, they will only think that you are a fool for wearing strange clothes And Van Gogh is a post-impressionist. It emerged after experiencing neoclassicism, romanticism and many many changes in thought. It's not that Van Gogh's paintings are famous only because of their strong basic skills. There are many people in the West who have strong basic skills. Rather, it is said that it became famous after going through a series of changes in ideological trends, and it was the one that was most in line with the current ideological trends at that time. Post-Impressionism was influenced by the classical oil painting masters in the 19th century who had developed the relationship between sketching to an insurmountable height, the emergence of the camera, and a series of other influences. If you have no social thought or scientific theory support, if you just pick up a famous painting and start copying it, others will not think you are NB. At a lighter level, I think a child is drawing blindly, but at a more serious level, I think you are a rebellious and apostate person who cannot be put on the stage.

Chapter 5: The sperm is inexplicably on the brain?

The biggest problem with this book is that it likes to forcibly renew the lives of opponents. The same mistakes I made during the free period are made again, and I can easily control others and just play or kill them, which is a waste of my subscription.

It's actually pretty good from the beginning to the time it's released. But so be it. Drive high and go low. Wenqing is seriously ill. Aren't you Shuangwen? Pig's feet were crushed in various ways.

The development of a gangster family in the context of prohibition in another world with a little mystery is a good setting. After reading Chapter 60, I think there are several poisonous points: 1. Taking painting for granted, thinking that just copying a few famous paintings is nb, and you can paint what you want. I really don't know that Van Gogh died of poverty? Many paintings are products of stock speculation. The rich just use them to speculate in stocks, and they may not necessarily like them. As for the great painters, aren't they the ones who want to speculate on their own paintings? Moreover, even if you don't know the background, you may not be able to understand the politics, era, thoughts, etc. In the paintings. The most annoying part is copying without looking at anything, and then a group of people say it's great. Second, if you draw a few pictures of a gun, someone else can build it. I won't even talk about why the protagonist can remember all the structural details. I just said that someone else can build a gun by drawing a picture. Just like I can draw an outline diagram of an aircraft carrier and you can build an aircraft carrier. Even if I give you a warehouse of complete aircraft carrier blueprints, can you build it? The industry is not a single one. To make a gun, you have to draw a picture of each part, especially the small parts, and mark the various dimensions, as well as the materials. What materials should be used for which parts? If the materials are not good, the gun will be made several times, and the gun must be tested after it is made. Even if you are given a complete gun blueprint, you must test the gun, not just a single target (of course, it doesn't matter if it is to fire bullets and does not consider mass production). The submachine gun shows its head and legs and wants to be hidden in the snow, instead of trying to get a weapons production license and sell the weapon. It doesn't even have this idea. It just wants to sell it in the future when it is not afraid of the submachine gun. Do you plan to sell it on the black market? How much money can you make? It's better to sell troops. The last point is that it is not considered poisonous. First of all, this is a different world, so it is not considered poisonous. I have read a certain novel about alcohol prohibition. It said that alcoholism in the United States at that time caused a lot of harm to society and individuals and families. So some people called for a ban on alcohol. From the congressmen to the workers, it was generally believed that alcohol prohibition was beneficial, and all sectors of society called for a ban on alcohol. Some alcoholics say they can quit, and abstinence from alcohol can prevent their sons from becoming alcoholics in the future, which is a good thing. The Prohibition Act was created and passed only when most people agreed with Prohibition. Before Prohibition was officially passed, everyone was cheering, and most of the liquor sellers and people in the pub were selling (not wanting to break the law). A small number of people believed that what was prohibited by the law was the one that made money. When Prohibition officially came into effect, everyone really stopped drinking, and private wine was not easy to sell. It took a few days to realize that alcohol was indispensable, and private wine began to sell easily. As time went by, alcoholics began to look for alcohol, and the private wine business was getting better and better. I don't know if this is true history, but the various descriptions make it seem like there is a story before and after the prohibition of alcohol, rather than a simple prohibition of alcohol. Moonlighting is very profitable. Of course, this novel mentions that the decision was made by the senior officials themselves, and it was a small group of people who directly banned alcohol. There was no support from social discussion and public opinion, so this is not a poisonous point, but the story is not high.

The plot of copying paintings is really speechless. When did "art" have standards for judging? Isn't the biggest role of famous paintings used to launder money?

The plot arrangement is good in attracting people to read, but for now there is a poisonous point. As long as this poisonous point does not appear in the future, then it will be half-stepped into the fairy grass level, that is, the author, please don't second-guess the whole thing. Originally, the plot was quite good, and I was still looking forward to how the protagonist would resolve this crisis. You just started a trick for the protagonist on the spot without any foreshadowing. This made me feel speechless. If you were drunk, you should at least foreshadow it in the front, and the little foreshadowing that appeared in the back would not directly become God's meal. This is the only one. If there is such a follow-up, it will start as a poisonous weed. Relegated to the cold palace, abandoned forever

The protagonist is in trouble wherever he goes and cannot stop for a moment. The depiction of making money is too rough. There are obviously so many ways to make money in this roaring era. The depiction of the godfather is also too shallow. Everything must be handled and arranged by the protagonist himself, just like a person who keeps running. Like Bo's senior migrant worker, he obviously belongs to a family, so we can ask our cronies to do it. The description of the mysterious power is too heavy-handed, and the portrayal of the plot is too casual, as if the protagonist can be found for anything. This is too deliberate.

It makes no sense that a group of gang bosses rushed forward in the St. Quanti Incident. There is no logic at all. The illegal liquor was poisoned and framed. According to the gang's thinking, isn't it better to solve the framed person and then refute the rumor or create new conflicts to divert attention? Why do you want a bunch of gangsters to solve the source of pollution? The core of the problem is that the Prohibition Bureau is not St. Quanti. The gangs have not solved the problem of poisoning by the Prohibition Bureau. This time it is memetic contamination. Next time the Prohibition Bureau will use other types of poisons, your gang will have to solve the source of the poison? What the hell kind of logic is this? Reality does not require logic, but writing novels does. Don't treat readers as fools.

As far as the latest two chapters are concerned, under the shaping of you, the author, this tax bureau is less like a tax bureau and more like a department similar to a secret service. The audit actually relies entirely on some reports. And you rely on this to let the protagonist use his "new" truth It's so strange that you directly change the numbers on the order in the name of operating the order. You directly change a sum of tens of millions of funds to two million, which is four-fifths less out of thin air. The impact of your four-fifths less funds out of thin air directly disappears? When the tax bureau goes to investigate, they only look at the statements and don't further deduce the direction of the funds.
