Chapter 8: Rejection of good intentions
"What's wrong, Professor Jin?" Ye Mengchen looked back, his eyes flickering, and the audience was solemn.
"Well drawn!" Professor Jin did not hesitate to praise himself, unfolded Mengchen's picture scroll, looked at it with his head held high, and then smiled, elegant and bright.
"Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island. My Fair Lady, Gentleman. "Two or three curvy beauties are playing outdoors for fun, like long-lost friends, full of affection.
The whole painting scroll pays attention to the artistic conception, and has both form and spirit, which fully demonstrates Mengchen's good painting skills.
"Didn't you illustrate before? When did you start drawing watercolors? ”
"Professor Kim, art is not separated, if you can draw illustrations, you will naturally draw watercolors. Ye Mengchen is full of confidence, and she is flattered by Professor Jin's praise, but she pays more attention to her actual results, and she is convinced that after her long-term tireless efforts, her painting skills will be different from what they used to be, and there will be a qualitative leap.
"Hmm. Professor Jin nodded, he was still silently admiring, clearly full of reluctance to the painting.
"You should study abroad and go to Japan Art Academy for further study. Based on your achievements in painting, I will try to send you abroad. ”
"When?" Ye Mengchen was a little surprised, but her heart was already jumping at this moment, urging her to hurry up and agree.
But Mengchen's mouth was disobedient, and he didn't say this sentence for a long time, but said dreamily: "Japan, I don't like this country." Professor Kim, you're not Korean, are you? Of the three East Asian countries, Japan is the only one that is an artistic powerhouse?"
Professor Jin's face retracted the joy just now, became a little ugly, and his tone was a little hard and serious: "Art knows no borders, and patriotism sometimes should not be an obstacle to one's artistic pursuit. ”
"Professor Kim, I heard that you studied in Japan. Japanese painting is really so powerful, and her artistic way also originated in China!" Ye Mengchen admires Professor Jin, he is highly respected, his painting skills are superb, and he loves his students.
It's just that Ye Mengchen doesn't want to go abroad so soon, and even if he goes abroad, Japan is not the first choice.
She wanted to fulfill her wish and publish the illustration book "Love Landscape", but Li Jinming delayed being her model, she was really helpless.
"Ye Mengchen, today's three East Asian countries are no longer the only ones in ancient times who are the only ones who look forward to China, you have to see the situation clearly, Japan is a developed country, South Korea is a new developed country, and China, although it has made remarkable achievements in development over the years, she is still a developing country......"
"Professor Jin!" Ye Mengchen couldn't help but interrupt his talking, her whole little face was flushed, she knew that his original intention was to persuade herself not to look down on Japan, but he didn't expect that such a statement would only cause disgust among patriots.
"China is one of the few responsible major countries in the world. Aren't you also teaching in China and seeking development? The head of East Asia is not Japan, it's China!" Ye Mengchen protested mercilessly, her little heart had been beating faster for a long time, if it weren't for her efforts to suppress her rushing emotions, I am afraid that it would have exploded in an instant.
Only villains and women are difficult to raise, Professor Jin was not infected by Ye Mengchen's patriotism, but had a feeling similar to shame, and couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and glanced at the other party with embarrassment.
Ye Mengchen was shocked by this sudden contempt and broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly said: "Professor Jin, I am only a shallow learner and can't withstand the stimulation, if what I say offends you, please forgive me." ”
"No, if you don't go to Japan, you won't go to Japan. Hello for yourself. Professor Jin put down the scroll, sighed, brushed the dust and walked away, leaving Mengchen standing there to blame.
It turned out that Professor Jin was asking Mengchen's opinion to help her fight for a place to study abroad, but who would have thought that Ye Mengchen would behave so fiercely and speak inappropriately, breaking Professor Jin's wish and shattering his dream.
Professor Kim stood on the podium and continued to teach, although his mood was affected by someone, but as a professor, he was still personable and completely unaffected by emotions.
On the contrary, it was Ye Mengchen, because of the fierce argument with the professor, her voice was still in her ears, and she was not at peace.
Professor Jin wrote a few large words on the blackboard, "The Light and Shadow Shaping of Flower Watercolor".
Ye Mengchen put away his improvised watercolor paintings, quietly listened to the professor's lecture, and by the way, stood beside him with other classmates to observe quietly.
Professor Kim's painting style is so elegant, it is simply like a painting.
He is only 40 years old, but there are a few strands of gray hair on his sideburns, and he does not look young.
Sometimes Ye Mengchen would look at Professor Jin and silently wonder, what made Professor Jin so young and weathered. He must have had an extraordinary experience.
Kim Nancy didn't teach at the Central National Academy of Arts for long.
Since the beginning of this year, he has taught a total of 13 times at the academy, and according to the original plan, he must teach 30 class hours before he can successfully complete the task.
Ye Mengchen once made Professor Jin think that he had met a genius, but her stubbornness refused to study in Japan, which made him feel annoyed.
But even so, it did not prevent him from continuing to lecture here, full of passion and heartiness.
At the same time, Zhang Wei also finished his studies in the classroom.
Ye Mengchen's refusal made him very heartbroken, and his brother Li Jinming's confession to Ye Mengchen also surprised him.
He firmly believed that Ye Mengchen was in love with Li Jinming.
Since Li Jinming, a visitor from outside the world, came to the Zhang family, Zhang Wei is not the only son of the Zhang family, for this brother, he loves and hates from time to time, and his feelings are very complicated.
Zhang Wei's father Zhang Tianci also loves Li Jinming very much, the only unhappy thing is Zhang Wei's mother Fan Yuan, the woman who keeps saying that she wants to get rid of Li Jinming, is not Li Jinming's biological mother.
And Li Jinming's origin is also very strange, he was born to Zhang Tianci and his ex-girlfriend, and now this girlfriend, according to Li Jinming, has died a long time ago, and he himself grew up in an orphanage.
After Li Jinming came to Zhang's house to recognize his relatives, Zhang Tianci specially took him to do a paternity test, and it was determined that he was his long-lost son, and after crying for a while, he let him enter Zhang's family.
This brother, how can he fight with me? If he fights with me, he will definitely die.
Zhang Wei thought about it and trembled.
rejected Professor Jin's kindness, Ye Mengchen began to obsessively draw the illustration of "Love Landscape" again.
Luo Meimei looked at her drawings and said several times that she should draw some pictures of couples and take a look.
But Li Jinming didn't come.
Ye Mengchen had no choice but to make up for the appearance of being a couple with Li Jinming, and drew a few pictures.
Because they were all realistic before, without the reference of pictures, these couples are not as realistic and vivid as before.
This made the American editor Luo Meimei a little dissatisfied.
"Ye Mengchen, who are the models you painted before, why don't you look like that person at all in the later stage? ”
