"It's okay, I fell on horseback!"

Professor Qu said lightly, and then continued to paint.

His pen is a majestic rooster jumping on the page.

The red crown on the head does not need to be cut, it is very magnificent.

However, although the rooster is arrogant, he rolls his eyes and looks down on the world.

Li Tong understood that Professor Qu was imitating the painting method of the Bada Shanren, expressing a lonely, arrogant and cynical mood.

Looking at Professor Qu's paintings, Li Tong was a little trance-like, as far as he knew, Professor Qu's career has been smooth in the past few years, and there should not be a cynical mood of the Bada Mountain people.

"Did you come to me for something?" Professor Qu interrupted Li Tong's musings.

"Oh, Professor Wei Qun, let me send you a box of mooncakes. Li Tong came back to his senses and hurriedly served the moon cakes.

Professor Qu glanced at the mooncake box, and the bright yellow became dazzling again in the room.

"Professor Wei said that this is called 'the moon is born on the sea, and the end of the world is at this time'. Li Tongzhan explained tremblingly.

Professor Qu let out a "hmm", took the moon cake box unhurriedly, dipped a few strokes of brown with a brush, and then tapped the tip of the pen, and after a while, the bright yellow that Professor Wei touched turned into a blooming chrysanthemum.

After Professor Qu finished painting, he knocked on the moon cake box with the end of the brush, and said to Li Tong: "Give this box of moon cakes back to Lao Wei, and tell him that this is called 'Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and seeing Nanshan leisurely'." ”

Li Tong nodded, seeing that the meaning was reached, he picked up the moon cake box and was about to go back to his life.

Professor Qu picked up the newly bought crutches at hand and stopped him: "Li Tong, come on, come on, don't be in a hurry to go, I just have something to tell you." ”

"Professor, you say. ”

Li Tong was stunned for a moment, and sat down opposite Professor Qu again.

"Li Tong, I will not be a judge at this year's National Art Exhibition. ”

Professor Qu deliberately said lightly, but Li Tong still saw loneliness in his eyes.

"Why?" asked Li Tong uncontrollably.

"Hey, it's all to blame on Lao Wei!" Professor Qu touched the back of his head, patted his plaster leg and smiled, "Doesn't Lao Wei love to compete with me? If I buy a Porsche, he will buy a Maserati, if I buy a G55, he will buy a Rolls-Royce Phantom; if I buy a Lamborghini, he will buy McLaren; you say, is there such a thing as him?"

Professor Qu deliberately said it with righteous indignation, but his expression was very cheerful.

"No, this time, I don't play with a car! I'll play with a horse instead! See how he compares to me?" Professor Qu smirked.

"This ......"

Li Tong is also convinced!

These two are also professors of the Zhongyang Academy of Fine Arts, although the size of a painting is sky-high now, but is it really good for Chi Guoguo to show off his wealth in front of students?

Li Tong heard that there was a film and television company Huayi Brothers before, and he just asked Professor Qu to draw a group portrait of its artists "Huayi Heroes List", and he gave more than 20 million yuan for the pen fee alone, and then the money was calculated according to the size.

So Professor Qu said that he has now changed from playing with cars to playing with horses, and Li Tong believes it.

"You just do it, don't you break your leg if you don't play with a horse?"

Bai Mengting, wearing a white dress, stepped forward to add a cup of tea to Li Tong, and then glanced at Professor Qu with a slightly complaining look.

"You're going to let me push you into the classroom in a wheelchair this semester, right?"

Because Bai Mengting's parents asked Professor Qu Xiaoming to take care of their baby girl before entering the school. Bai Mengting is also very well-behaved and sensible, and her talent for painting is also high, so she has been acting as a teaching assistant by Professor Qu's side.

"If you don't want to push, I'll buy an electric wheelchair when you go back. Professor Qu was still not convinced, but this was very much in line with his usual strong character.

The three of them talked for a while, Li Tong got up to say goodbye, and Professor Qu asked Bai Mengting to send Li Tong off.

In the corridor, Bai Mengting glanced back and confirmed that the door of Professor Qu's studio was tightly closed, so she lowered her voice and said to Li Tong:

"Li Tong, let me tell you, Professor Qu is not a judge of the National Art Exhibition this time, not because he broke his leg. ”

"Why is that?" Li Tong hunched his waist and lowered his voice in surprise.

"Someone pulled me down. Bai Mengting held the grievances for Professor Qu, "There are still ...... His leg said he fell while riding a horse, and I didn't look like it. ”

"What?" Li Tong was surprised, what did Bai Mengting mean by this?

"Do you remember that last month, Professor Qu was invited to be a judge for an exhibition of young painters? I heard that there was a young painter named Zhang Renbu. Professor Qu not only did not give an award to his paintings, but also criticized the painter's plagiarism at the symposium......"

"What do you mean...... Someone is deliberately taking revenge on the professor?" asked Li Tong.

"Hmm. Bai Mengting nodded, "I heard that person's mentor is Liu Qianye from the Huaxia Academy of Fine Arts." ”

"Liu Qianpage?" Li Tong was even more surprised.

This Liu Qianpage has not been very well received in the art circle.

It is said that he was in front of the hospital bed of the great painter Qin Songmian, and when the master was dying, he knelt down with a "poof" despite everyone's obstruction, forcibly apprenticed to the master, and then blended into the art circle.

In the past few years, in addition to giving lectures everywhere in the name of Qin Songmian's disciple, this Liu Qianye has not produced any well-known paintings or artworks, and he is simply a big bastard in the art circle.

"Guess, who is the person who replaced Professor Qu as the judge this time?" Bai Mengting asked Li Tong.

"It can't be Liu Qianye, right?"

Li Tong felt that five thunders hit the top!

If it is really this Liu Qianye as a judge, then Li Tong will participate in the National Art Exhibition, and there is really no hope at all.

The National Art Exhibition is the highest standard and largest national art exhibition in China, and all the shortlisted painters can immediately increase their value.

This is like a martial arts conference, there is only one leader of the martial arts alliance, but as long as the young people who can play the competition and show their skills, they will be able to become famous.

This is undoubtedly the best opportunity for young artists to become famous in one fell swoop.

The National Art Exhibition is held every five years, which means that Li Tong missed this time, and he will have to wait for another five years!

Li Tong graduated from his senior year this year, and if he can't become famous through the National Art Exhibition, then he will probably have to pack up and go back to his hometown.

Studying oil painting, it sounds quite lofty, but it's really not easy to get a job, in addition to full-time creation, it's just to find a random school to be an art teacher.

Now the imperial capital even wants a master's degree in oil painting for an art teacher who teaches elementary school, so if Li Tong wants to be an art teacher, he has to go back to his hometown.

But Li Tong didn't want to go back to his hometown, and he didn't want to be an art teacher, and he didn't want to go out on the blackboard every day to teach children to draw apples.

He wanted to be an artist, an artist in the truest sense of the word.

If you want to play art, you must be in the circle of the imperial capital, so Li Tong signed up for this year's National Art Exhibition with all his might.

Even in order to prepare for the exhibition, he did not even take the teacher certification exam. In other words, if Li Tong can't win the award at the National Art Exhibition this time, there is no hope for him to go back to become a teacher, because he has no certificate!

But now, Li Tong's last hope is shattered!
