Chapter 19: Let Me Finish!
"My inspiration for creating this painting-" Li Tong glanced at Professor Wei and Professor Qu, and replied with a smile, "It comes from Tao Yuanming's poem 'Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely seeing Nanshan', I am the energy and inspiration I draw from nature, it can be said to be Taoism and nature." β
Li Tong's answer seemed to be light-hearted, but it quoted Tao Yuanming's poems and Taoist ideas just right, inadvertently raising the compulsion of his paintings.
After listening to Li Tong's answer, artists from all walks of life began to talk to each other again.
"This young man is right, drawing inspiration from nature is the trend of the future of art."
"It's just that the pretentious style of painting in the past is no longer popular."
"Yes, radical avant-garde art can be repugnant, only nature will endure."
"That's right! I'm starting to believe a little bit that this picture was painted by this young man. β
The reporter of Radio C nodded with satisfaction.
He looked at Li Tong's expression of neither humility nor arrogance, and combined with his slow but determined abnormal tone, as well as his poetic exposition of this painting, he could be 100% sure that this painting was painted by Li Tong!
Such an excellent young painter, the C runway must be praised!
Just when the reporter from Channel C was about to continue interviewing Li Tong, Liu Qianye didn't know where to get out of it, stepped forward directly, grabbed the microphone in Li Tong's hand, and interrupted everyone's discussion:
"Ladies and gentlemen, the opening ceremony of the National Art Exhibition is about to begin, please move to the conference room in the inner hall, the leaders of the Ministry of Culture and the leaders of the Artists Association are about to cut the ribbon for this event."
Liu Qianye is also smart, things have developed to this point, and now it is more effective to quickly transfer the venue than anything.
He forcibly interrupted the interview and glared at Li and the others with hatred.
Dare to overlord the bow, you are very good at playing, and you will look good at the gate of the National Museum after a while.
"Hey, I haven't finished asking yet!" The reporter of Channel C was still unsatisfied, "Let me finish asking!" β
The other people present did not want to go in and listen to the lengthy and tedious opening ceremony, and they preferred to listen to the creative talk of the genius artist Li Tong in front of them rather than those official words read aloud to the A4 paper.
"yes, that's not all there is to ask? What's the hurry! β
"Let the reporter of Channel C finish asking!"
"I'll be in there later!"
The reporter continued to ask!
Liu Qianye was embarrassed at this time, he thought that as long as he let everyone in, he would be able to solve the dilemma in front of him, but according to the current situation, he was not very optimistic.
So, he could only use the second plan, he pretended to be solemn and coughed twice, and then asked Li Tong loudly into the microphone:
"May I ask Li Tong, do you have an invitation letter? Please show us your invitation. β
Li Tong was happy in his heart, hehe, grandma has a leg, if you want to use the invitation letter to make it difficult for your grandfather Li Tong, then you are digging a pit for yourself to jump!
Liu Qianye's question can lead to why Li Tong's paintings disappeared during the judging process of the art exhibition.
Li Tong is still thinking about going along the vine and touching the melon and moving out of the business behind Liu Qianye!
This old thing is stupid, and he can't hold his breath so quickly.
In order to let Liu Qianye dig a deeper grave for himself, Li Tong pretended to be lost and shook his head: "I don't have an invitation. β
What Liu Qianye wants is Li Tong's words.
He immediately instructed the security guards: "Guards! Invite this classmate Li Tong who didn't have an invitation letter to me out! β
Looking at his complacent look, Li Tong was secretly amused, Liu Qianye, who do you think you are?
Even Master Monet's "Water Lilies" can't be shortlisted for the National Art Exhibition, are you blind when the people of the whole country are blind?
I'm here to make a big deal out of it, and you think a few security guards can get us out?
How naΓ―ve!
Two uniformed security guards walked over and picked up Li Tong on the left and right.
"Who dares to touch him?"
The first to strike was Professor Qu, who took a step forward with an awe-inspiring expression on his cane!
Professor Wei is Li Tong's instructor, and it is suspected of partiality to speak out at this time, but it doesn't matter if he Qu Xiaoming, he stands up and speaks up.
"Is that the Chinese painter Qu Xiaoming?"
"Isn't that him?"
"Why did he break his leg?"
"Who knows."
"Hey, you don't know yet, do you, his legs...... Come here, I'll whisper to you. β
"What? I also want to listen, how did he break his leg? β
β¦β¦
The crowd was in a commotion again, and people's whispers were mixed with the names of "Qu Xiaoming" and "Liu Qianye" from time to time.
"He doesn't have an invitation, and I certainly can't let him mess around here! This is my responsibility as the chairman of the jury of this year's National Art Exhibition! Liu Qianye had a sanctimonious expression.
Snort, what's the responsibility?
Li Tong almost didn't laugh out loud, are there still few things about your abuse of power by Liu Qianye?
What bullshit is to blame here.
Don't you just want to drive me Li Tong away, so that I can continue to cover the sky with one hand and award the award to someone who has money and power to trade with you?
"Who dares to touch him!" Professor Wei was also angry, "Whoever dares to touch him, ask me Wei Xiaoming first!" β
As he spoke, Professor Wei stepped forward and pulled away the two security guards and stood behind Li Tong.
The security guards were afraid of Liu Qianye's obscenity and wanted to step forward, but Professor Qu's cane unceremoniously "tuk tuk" on the ground a few times.
A bold security guard wanted to step forward, but one of his companions grabbed him and said, "You are stupid! He's disabled! β
Although the security guard couldn't figure out who had more power between Qu Xiaoming and Liu Qianye, he immediately shrank when he heard the word "disabled".
Bullying people with disabilities is not in line with public morality, so he might as well forget it.
Hearing the word "disabled", Li Tong, Professor Wei, and Lao Gun couldn't help but smile and glanced at Professor Qu.
This stalk estimates that Professor Wei can laugh at the old song for three years!
But looking at the atmosphere of the scene, Professor Wei still tried to put on his usual stinky face.
Li Tong also looked up, with an expression of great grievance.
"What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you throw this man out with his paintings! β
Liu Qianye was also anxious, bending down and patting his thigh to reprimand those security guards. After all, he is an old fox and knows how to cut through the mess quickly and solve the problem at the source.
After all, Liu Qianye is the chairman of this year's art exhibition, and the security guards did not dare to disobey, so they had to step forward again.
The security guards also learned smartly, knowing that Li Tong was an iron plate, with Wei Qun and Qu Xiaoming's two big King Kong protectors, and they couldn't get close, so they all aimed at the painting.
As soon as the two security guards lifted the "Water Lilies", everyone who came to the exhibition stopped doing it!
"Put it down!"
"Put it down! Who allowed you to touch the painting! β
"If you dare to throw the painting out! I'll expose you tomorrow! A reporter shouted.
"That's right! Expose them! β
"That's right! Exposure! See if they're afraid! β
"Expose them! If such a good painting is to be thrown out, there must be a shady scene! β
"I haven't seen enough of this painting? What to lose! β
People who engage in art are very individual, and they are also very impulsive, and when they hear that they are going to lose their paintings, it is as if they have lost their dignity as painters, and they stop doing it!
"If this painting is thrown out! This year's art exhibition is still a fart! β
"Yes! I don't believe in the Artists Association anymore! β
"The Artists Association will engage in formalism! Such a beautiful painting should be thrown out! β
"Trash Art Association! If this painting had been thrown out, I wouldn't have attended the opening ceremony! β
"What?! The dignified National Art Exhibition actually wants to throw out the painter's paintings! β
"Hehe, bureaucracy!"
Liu Qianye saw that the situation was becoming more and more contrary to his expectations, and he couldn't help but regret his rash move just now.
But he is really in a hurry, he has already received Zhang Renbu's money, and he has also destroyed the photos of Li Tong'er, and now he can only hold on.
And Dean Lin Jiang on the side is not happy, he is also one of the chairmen of the jury of this year's National Art Exhibition, Liu Qianye made such a fuss, so that everyone's hatred came to the Art Association, and they also followed the blame for no reason, which is simply inexplicable.
What's more, Li Tong's painting is really good! That's it!
He Lin Jiang worshipped!
So, Dean Lin Jiang immediately stood on Li Tong's side, and he ordered the security guard: "Put down the painting first!" I Lin Jiang has something to do! I'm also one of the chairs, and here's my work card! β
