Chapter 240: Morning Mist

Xiao Congyun's professional attitude is too rigorous, and he takes the standard "white line".

Moreover, in the special period when the political wind is sensitive and the international situation changes abruptly, he still goes his own way.

In the entrance examination, he only makes professional requirements for students, and does not consider any political factors.

During the lecture, he kept saying how good Repin's realist method of creation was.

Students are required to imitate the master's creative concept, pursue the essence of things, and be sure to understand before painting.

It also insists on taking human sketching as the key content of teaching.

As a result, he was unlucky, and some of the hats belonged to him.

Soon, he was deprived of the right to teach, and he was also ordered to work in a "dry school".

But even at this point, he is still obsessed.

He stubbornly believed that he was right, and he didn't even write a single word of review at home, and he didn't plan to work.

Just concentrate on painting and don't care about external affairs.

In the end, his uncooperative arrogant posture caused him to suffer a catastrophe.

The person in charge who went to his house to urge him to check and urge him to go on the road saw that he was still ignorant of current affairs.

In a fit of rage, he reported the oil painting he had just finished painting called "Morning Mist" as evidence of the crime, and sent him to prison.

And his wife even became an accomplice because she wrote for him.

That's it, a good home, scattered......

In fact, to be honest, there is nothing wrong with that painting, it only depicts the scene of the market in front of the drum tower in the fog early in the morning.

But the only thing that has been caught by others is Xiao Congyun's creative motives.

Why fog is used to block out the sun, and why is the sun painted white?

So the family tragedy was irreparable, and a few years later, Xiao Heping became an orphan with both parents dead.

Because of this, Xiao Heping's heart was torn apart, and he had a hidden pain that would almost never be relieved.

It wasn't until last year that Kang Ping, the director of the design office of "Polar Bear", told Xiao Heping the news that the "Sixth Art Exhibition" had begun to solicit entries, and wanted him to try it too.

When Xiao Heping was thinking about creation, he was touched by his heart.

He seems to have found the best way to remember his parents and make up for the trauma in his heart.

That is, he wants to imitate his father's paintings back then, and paint another "Morning Mist" himself to send to the competition.

If the highest standard and the largest national art exhibition can select this work, even if it is only an excellent award.

Wouldn't that prove his father's artistic ideas innocent, and fundamentally set his parents right?

In this way, Xiao Heping was full of enthusiasm and inspiration, and devoted himself to creation.

From the preparation of the materials to the two revisions, it took Xiao Heping three months to complete the oil painting.

He has been trained for many years, and his incomparable oil painting skills, as well as his excellent artistic aesthetics and color matching ability, are all expressed through this painting.

And perhaps because of the release of long-suppressed emotions, he played to an extraordinary level.

The appeal of the light and color and fog of this painting has caught up with the level of my father's painting back then.

So even Kang Ping, the director of the design office who has been pointing out from the side, was amazed when he read the final draft.

said that God rewards hard work, Xiao Heping's efforts in art are not in vain.

This work is very hopeful that he will become famous like Luo Zhongli and Chen Danqing, and become a leader among the younger generation of oil painters.

Indeed, in the beginning, things were really good.

As an official member of the Artists Association, Kang Ping's internal information quietly proved his judgment.

As soon as Xiao Heping's work was handed in, the selection committee responded very well.

Many of the artists in Beijing who participated in the selection expressed their appreciation for this work.

A relatively unified understanding is that the artistic expression of "Morning Mist" and the oil painting techniques presented are excellent.

It is deeply rooted in the essence of realism of the Repin School of Fine Arts.

Even Master Huang, who has the highest reputation in the oil painting group of the jury, directly said that this painting is very mature in terms of ideas and skills.

Not only is the theme clear, the changes in light perception and the details of the downtown are fully and vividly, but also have the characteristics of the times.

Fully qualified to participate in the second round.

What does this mean?

According to the selection process of the art exhibition, there are two selections in total.

For the first time, a primary selection of local works was held in various provinces, cities and regions.

A public exhibition will be held, and the best works will be selected based on the opinions of the judges and the response of the audience.

Only then can the selected works be submitted to the semi-selection organizing committee and continue to participate in the second national re-election.

And this is the final selection, and the works that are eligible to participate in this selection are at worst an excellent award.

After that, it will participate in a nationwide tour.

That is to say, if Master Huang really said such a thing.

That means that Xiao Heping has a high probability of winning the award.

I don't think anyone would give an opinion contrary to Master Huang.

How offensive is that?

But it was just when Xiao Heping was overjoyed and thought that his dream had come true.

But he didn't expect fate to tease him.

An accident made this almost a sure thing.

Because just one day before the public exhibition, a painting with a similar theme to Xiao Heping, "Rain and Fog".

It was temporarily sent to the oil painting exhibition area for exhibition.

What's even more surprising is that despite the skills, colors, etc., the level of "Rain and Fog" is obviously much worse than "Morning Mist".

But at the exhibition site, many judges watched "Rain and Fog".

actually made a doughnut evaluation of Xiao Heping's "Morning Mist".

Several people actually think that "Rain and Fog" is better than "Morning Mist".

Some people think that Xiao Heping's painting techniques are too traditional and realistic, and that he lacks euphemism and romantic artistic connotation.

It is proposed that art exhibitions should encourage new things.

This puts Xiao Heping's eligibility for the award under strong threat.

Later, because of this strange matter, Kang Ping really understood what was going on through many inquiries.

According to insiders, this "Rain and Fog" was actually painted by the nephew of Master Guan, an oil painter of the same level as Master Huang.

And for this matter, Master Guan's nephew has already engaged in a lot of social activities in private.

Not only did he invite the jury to dinner, but it is said that he also gave a lot of gifts to several judges.

These judges are selling Master Guan's face, and in order to pave the way for Master Guan's nephew, they plan to sacrifice Xiao Heping.

Art is so empty, and there is no unified standard.

Isn't it easy to find some plausible excuses?

How can Kangping react to this?

He is just an ordinary member of the art association, just the director of the design office of "Polar Bear".

Therefore, in the face of such a truth, I can only sincerely lament the corruption of the art world, and I can't help but comfort Xiao Heping not to be discouraged.

He said it couldn't be like that for everyone.

At least I haven't heard of Master Huang going to eat and receive gifts.

If Master Huang insists on the seriousness of art, there should still be a chance for this.

But to be honest, I am afraid that even he himself thinks that there is little hope for these words.

So after Kang Ping left, Xiao Heping began to be troubled.

People are like that, if there is no hope from beginning to end, then the pain of failure will be small.

I'm afraid, I'm afraid that the distance from success is a finger, but the success is down, so who can be willing?

So Xiao Heping made an irrational and radical decision without sleeping all night.

That is, when others give him, he will give it.

Since the surname Guan didn't send Master Huang, this is his only hope, then he will send it.

Later, it was for this reason that he asked Hong Yanwu to borrow money.

But in the end, of course, he did a big stupid thing.

You know, not every judge can give a gift.

If it really could, how could Master Guan's nephew forget Master Huang?

People don't do that, and that's telling.

So Xiao Heping, who was not familiar with the world, found the Huang family to send money, but the result was simply counterproductive.

Not only did Master Huang be furious on the spot, saying that he had insulted himself.

also scolded him for his bad heart, so he was not worthy of painting.

Then he immediately asked his family to kick him out.

Yes, Xiao Heping, who was kicked out of the Huang family, walked on the road, and he simply became a talent who fell off the list.

It was a home that had lost its soul and returned home like the walking dead.

Later, the more he pondered, the more he felt that he lacked heart.

There was still a little hope, but he was completely hopeless by himself.

On the contrary, he also lost his personality, dignity, integrity, and reputation because of this......

Speaking of this, Xiao Heping's tears flowed down.

This is a young man in his twenties.

He is also a person who can persist and be good at self-control.

actually cried undisguised in front of Hong Yanwu, which shows how sad and regretful he is.

And how hard this incident hit him.

But fortunately, he has a friend like Hong Yanwu.

What this kid is best at is pondering people's hearts, and he has seventy-two hearts and eyes and ninety-six reels.

Not to mention engaging in communication and negotiations.

Borrowing chickens to lay eggs and benefiting others is his forte.

Seeing Xiao Heping so lost and depressed, he was afraid that his emotions would completely collapse.

Hong Yanwu hurriedly pretended to be relaxed and gave hope to the desperate Xiao Heping.

"Hey, that's it. What should I do? Be relieved, it's not irreparable. You have to believe me, let your buddies help you with activities, and maybe you can calm down for you. ”

As soon as he heard this, Xiao Heping's eyes really brightened, just like a man who fell into the water hugged the trunk of a tree and asked with teary eyes.

"You...... What can you do? ...... Don't lie to me?"

As a result, Hong Yanwu pouted, and he was ashamed to fall on him.

"Ouch, you still don't believe me, when it comes to painting, I'm not as good as you. On this, you are inferior to me. ”

"I didn't mean you. Your biggest problem is that you are like a stuffy gourd, and you always have something hidden in your heart. Are we friends? You should talk to me about something. ”

"And you're stupid enough to treat ignorance as personality, and to underestimate the complexity of relationships. Don't take bean bags for dry food, don't take village chiefs for cadres, don't take physiology and hygiene for improper knowledge, and don't use improper communication skills. ”

"Is that a good lobbyist? Su Qin lobbied the brains of the Six Kingdoms, you can compare? Zhuge Liang's tongue and the eloquence of the Confucians, you can compare? Wang Zuo didn't say a word in order to fool Lu Wenlong, and his arm was chopped when he said that he would chop it, this ruthlessness, you can compare it?"

So the point of this kind of thing is how you can use the methods that others can't refuse, and give things that others can't refuse. Got it?"

Needless to say, Hong Yanwu's words are to the point.

For Xiao Heping, it is like a light that illuminates life at this time.

Therefore, Hong Yanwu's voice immediately caused Xiao Heping to ask impatiently.

"That'...... Xiao Wu...... Do you really have a solution? Tell me, what are you going to do?"

Unexpectedly, his eagerness made Hong Yanwu take the opportunity to "take candy", and deliberately hung his appetite.

(Note, taking candy, in the local language of Beijing, borrowing a child to hold a candy cube in his hand and deliberately not eating it, showing a common problem to other children.) It is a metaphor for people's behavior of putting on a show and pretending. )

I saw this boy push the wine glass.

"Come on, fill us up with a glass first. Even if you have the land to respond to your needs, you have to go to the pillar incense first?"

And just after Xiao Heping had no choice but to do it, he didn't expect Hong Yanwu to have something to say.

The actual robbery and fallacies have been thrown out again.

"Yes, that's sensible. Hey, you'll have to go downstairs and buy two cucumbers, sausages, and pine flowers, and if you meet a donkey meat seller, you can buy some too. The emperor can't send hungry soldiers. What's more, what we're going to study later is not a fair and honest matter. That's all the more important to eat and drink. ”

"Do you know why? Let me tell you, the mind can be dirty, but the body must be healthy. Because only a healthy body can support a filthy soul......"

Under this strong mental stimulation, Xiao Heping's brain was about to explode.

didn't even bother to wash his face, so he hurried out of the house.

But fortunately, I didn't forget to bring the money, and the wine was half sober.

So he sighed outside the door and went downstairs......
