Wencun, White Leaf Studio.

In the elegant living room, Bai Ye is making tea, and the action is like flowing clouds, tranquil and natural, without the smell of fireworks.

Cao Xiang sat next to him and watched, waiting for Bai Ye to finish his actions before he spoke: "Bai Ye, Bai Painter, Mr. Bai Da, please be in front of the camera in the future, remember to be a little more restrained, okay?"

"How?"

Bai Ye raised his eyes, inexplicable: "What's the situation?"

"You've been scolded. ”

Cao Xiang was concise and to the point.

"Isn't that normal?"

Bai Ye smiled and tasted the tea carelessly.

"But you can't, you can't say anything. ”

Cao Xiang couldn't help but shake his head: "I feel that you did it on purpose, lest the world be chaotic." ”

"Haha. ”

Bai Ye smiled, and then asked, "By the way, has there been a result of the matter that asked you to investigate?" What is the background of the young man who scolded me unceremoniously in front of me?"

"Contracted painter of Red Moon Gallery. ”

Cao Xiang said slowly: "I also learned oil painting, but unfortunately my strength is not good, or the market does not recognize his works, no matter how hard the Red Moon Gallery pushes, it can't stir up any waves." According to reliable sources, Red Moon Gallery is ready to terminate the contract with him. ”

"So, it's purely his personal behavior and has nothing to do with anyone else?"

Bai Ye said slowly: "After discovering his failure, and comparing it to my success, under his jealousy, he will inevitably act irrationally, speak unscrupulously, slander and smear ...... It's a natural thing to do. ”

"Logically, it makes sense. ”

Cao Xiang nodded.

But......

The two looked at each other and shook their heads neatly.

They are not stupid and will not easily believe such superficial reasons.

After all, if you have malice towards a person, you can't hate the other party to die immediately. Everyone has had similar negative emotions. However, the deeds of the saints do not care about their hearts, and their thoughts are thoughts, and the evil thoughts in the hearts of many people are nothing more than a fleeting moment, and it is impossible to really put them into action.

To put it mildly, there are more people in this world who are better than Bai Ye, is that young painter jealous?

If there is no reason, the young painter will deliberately go to Shenzhuang to see the painting?

Even in front of Bai Ye, he sneered and mocked.

Who gave him courage?

Bai Ye groaned, and before he could speak, Cao Xiang said, "I checked, the background of the Red Moon Gallery." It's a second-tier gallery in the industry, but it has a bit of influence in the central provinces. In other words, their contracted painters are basically from the central provinces, and the well water in the Jiangnan area does not interfere with the river water. ”

"It stands to reason that Red Moon Gallery has nothing to do with you. ”

Cao Xiang frowned and said, "If that young painter was instructed by the gallery to target you, it doesn't make sense." If he was bought by someone else...... Who would that be?"

"The Central Provinces. ”

Bai Ye thought for a while, and asked, "What is the name of the younger generation in the central provinces, the most famous painter, or the most famous artist?"

"Uh......"

Cao Xiang's eyes were slightly glazed: "There are many artists in the central provinces, and there are also a few famous artists all over the world. But the most famous artists of the younger generation should be ...... in my mind"

He paused before he spoke, "Three Towns Academy of Fine Arts...... Xiao Luo!"

"Oh. ”

Bai Ye nodded, as if he understood, and then asked, "Who is that?"

“......”

Cao Xiang rolled his eyes, but still explained: "Xiao Luo, a graduate student of the Oil Painting Department of the Three Towns Academy of Fine Arts, he, like you, also became famous at a young age, participated in many art competitions, and won many honorary awards. However, he followed the path of impressionism, and his landscapes and still life paintings were brilliant in color and distinctive, and his expression in the market was good. ”

"He signed a contract with the Red Moon Gallery?" Bai Ye thought thoughtfully.

"Nope. ”

Cao Xiang shook his head, his expression a little complicated: "He is a freelance painter, he has not signed a contract with any gallery, he has been studying at the Three Towns Academy of Fine Arts, occasionally holding some exhibitions, or putting his works on consignment online. Boss Li went to the Three Towns a lot back then, and planned to sign a contract with Xiao Luo in the thatched house, and even promised very generous conditions, but he refused. ”

"Tsk. ”

When Bai Ye heard this, he couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that my status in Boss Li's mind is not as high as I imagined." ”

“......”

Cao Xiang raised his eyebrows, with a look that you only knew.

"Xiao Luo. ”

Bai Ye picked up his mobile phone and wanted to search for the other party's information on the Internet. Only by knowing oneself and knowing the other party can you determine whether the other party is doing the trick.

However, at this moment, his mobile phone and Cao Xiang's mobile phone came from the sound of ding dong at the same time.

The two turned on their phones at the same time, and a notification text message came into view.

Cao Xiang quickly read the message, his mind suddenly moved, and his expression was a little subtle: "I seem to know the reason why you were scolded so much." ”

"Oh. ”

Bai Ye's fingertips were fixed on the screen, and he seemed to have some understanding.

The title of the information is written in bold black.

Artists Association, National Exhibition Call for Papers!

Abstract:Suzhou is a national historical and cultural city, which has always been prosperous in literary style and has produced many talents. In order to prosper the development of literature and art and promote the excellent Chinese culture, the National Art Exhibition will be held in December XXXX.

The call for papers for the exhibition is hereby notified as follows......

The following dense text is to introduce the organizer, the organization, the members of the selection committee, the date of the exhibition, the scale of the exhibition, the requirements of the exhibition and other conditions.

"Suzhou ......"

Bai Ye said softly: "Kunxian County is under the jurisdiction of Suzhou." ”

"Nonsense, yes. ”

Cao Xiang was a little excited, and his mood was not calm: "There is an old saying that what is called, the building near the water gets the moon first." It seems that some people know about it, and they are afraid that you will use "Double Bridge" to participate in the exhibition. After all, this exhibition also has the participation of Suzhou cultural units, and your paintings will inevitably be the focus of promotion if they are exhibited. ”

"If it is awarded, there is a high probability of a gold award or a first prize. Even if you don't win awards, you will definitely be among the outstanding works selected in the exhibition and printed into a catalogue for publicity throughout the country. ”

"It's a great opportunity. ”

Cao Xiang's breathing slowed down and calmed himself down: "No wonder someone is in a hurry." ”

"Fame and fortune hurt people. ”

Bai Ye couldn't help but shake his head: "Can't they learn more from me, they have always regarded fame and fortune as floating clouds, never chasing fame and fortune, they just want to pursue a noble personality, as well as the consummation of spirit and wisdom......"

“…… Are you exhibiting?" asked Cao Xiang.

"Nonsense. ”

Bai Ye said categorically: "The work that is selected for the first time, but there is a million rewards." ”

The corners of Cao Xiang's mouth twitched, and he knew that it would be like this.

"The key is that this big exhibition is also divided into many categories. Gongbi, flowers and birds, landscape freehand, printmaking, oil painting, watercolor painting. Hey, it's also divided into themes, what humorous paintings, sports, fashion, and education and public welfare themes......"

Bai Ye counted them, and said on a whim: "At least twenty major exhibitions, each of which will be selected as the first one, which is 20 million." Cao Xiang, you said that I will participate in every project, okay?"

"Okay, why not. ”

Cao Xiang complained: "You're not afraid of being a joke, you can do whatever you want." ”

Become a joke?

Bai Ye smiled and didn't speak.

Forget it, be low-key, don't show off, and leave a way for others to live.

He raised his glass and took a sip of tea, then got up and said, "Let's go." ”

"Where are you going?"

Cao Xiang was stunned.

“…… The top of the sea!"

Bai Ye replied and walked to the door.

Cao Xiang chased after him and asked, "Then do you continue to investigate this matter?"

"Don't check it out. ”

Bai Ye stopped, looked up at the sky, and sighed leisurely: "It's only because I'm too good that I'm the enemy of the world." Alas, life is like this, the high places are cold, and the loneliness is like snow. ”

“......”

Cao Xiang turned around and left, and drove away.
