Chapter 0026: The Battle of the Covers
Gu Ran, editor-in-chief of Fine Arts magazine, is a famous oil painter. I just received a call from my old buddy Feng Yimo, he and Feng Yimo met at the University of Art, he studied oil painting, Feng Yimo and Chinese painting, and there should not have been an intersection. At that time, there was a conflict between Chinese and Western art at the University of Arts, and both of them were the main leaders of their respective camps, and they were both charging forward. The two have confronted each other many times, but they didn't fight or make a deal, and finally became friends, and the relationship has continued to the present.
Gu Ran felt that Feng Yimo's phone call was very strange, this old man had always been straightforward and had something to say. Today, I actually pulled up my parents on the phone, and I talked for more than ten minutes, but I didn't say anything, and finally I wanted Gu Ran to talk to him. Gu Ran didn't want to go, he was so busy every day, how could he have time to chat and talk nonsense. However, on second thought, this old man will not have anything on his mind, so I am embarrassed to say it. I'll have to go and see what's going on.
Gu Ran came to Yida Feng Yimo's office, and as soon as he entered, he saw that the documents and materials on Feng Yimo's desk were piled up, and Feng Yimo was wearing reading glasses and burying his head in review. I'm so angry in my heart, I'll put down my work and come to you, you're good, don't delay at all.
"Fengzi, what kind of demon are you old guy making trouble, which old lady do you fancy and want me to be a matchmaker?"
Feng Yimo looked up and saw that it was an old man coming, so he put down his work and took off his reading glasses. He stood up, stretched out his old arms and legs, and sat down on the couch. picked up the teapot again, poured a cup for Gu Ran, poured another cup for himself, and then said, "Ran Ran, you're right, I really like an old lady." I just want to tie the flowers of your oil painting department back then, what's the matter, this medium is just right for you, and you know the root here. ”
Gu Ran took a sip of tea, put down the teacup and said, "This has to be ...... Forty years, right?"
"Pretty much, I didn't do the math. ”
"I said Fengzi, you beat my wife's idea for forty years, do you think I should duel with you. ”
"Yes, I like to hear what you say, let's duel. ”
"Fuck your uncle, the bet of the duel is not your daughter-in-law, get down to business. ”
"What's the matter?"
"You want me to come over just to say that you are still thinking about my daughter-in-law?"
"What do you mean by thinking about your daughter-in-law, the earliest was whether my girlfriend was good or not, and one was accidentally pried away by you. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, oil painting and Chinese painting fought so fiercely back then, the girls in the oil painting department would make friends with the boys in the Chinese painting department?"
"Love comes from art, higher than art, it's your vision that is too narrow. At that time, our love surpassed ......"
"Shut up, surpass your size, and I'll turn my face about this again. ”
"After so many years, you have not turned your face less. ”
"Those who are half cut into the ground are still talking crazy things. ”
"Alas, I can also talk nonsense with you, when you get old, no one will tell you the truth, and there are sycophants everywhere. ”
"Yes, when I think of our meeting at the University of Arts, it is called blood boiling. Let's just say that I robbed you of your girlfriend......"
"Damn, you finally admit it, I must duel with you. ”
"Stop, we can't toss our old arms and legs. I'll tell you the inside story, there's a reason why I robbed you of your girlfriend. ”
"Oh, what's going on, you didn't even say anything when I beat you like a rotten sour pear before, why did you take the initiative to say it at this time?"
"Hehe, it's not because the statute of limitations has passed and it can be decrypted. Listen or not? Don't listen, I'm leaving. ”
"Listen~Listen~ I've been holding this thing in my heart for decades, and if I don't figure it out, I'll die. ”
"That's why I'm able to decrypt it, and if you weren't dying, I wouldn't dare to say it. ”
"You're dying, say quickly, don't wait for me to torture you. ”
"I robbed you of your girlfriend at the time, one is that I really like her, and the other reason is more important, that is, my sister...... She took a fancy to you and ordered me to rob you...... Well, is this answer unexpected? ”
Feng Yimo stood up after hearing this, walked around the office six times, and then sat down again and kept silent. Gu Ran looked at it, but said: "Don't be in the blessing and don't know the blessing, my sister was the school flower at the time, much more beautiful than my flower." There are more than ten times more people chasing my sister than chasing my daughter-in-law...... Hmm, why is this so awkward. ”
Feng Yimo still didn't speak, and after a long time, he said a sentence: "Your sister, it's good." ”
Gu Ran was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand this sentence without a beginning or an end, anyway, how to listen to it, how to feel awkward. "Okay, now decryption, my sister won't beat me, you also have a wish, you can close your eyes, goodbye. ”
After Gu Ran finished speaking, he stood up and walked out, Feng Yimo really closed his eyes and didn't say anything to save him. When Gu Ran walked to the door, his body suddenly seemed to be frozen rapidly, and he didn't move.
There was a picture frame next to the door, and inside the frame was a charcoal sketch of a rural woman with a headscarf, skinny and sunken eyes. This frame is hung in a very special position, if you open the door to enter, the door just blocks it, and only when you go out, it will appear.
"I'm grass, I'm grass, you're a good man, dare to wait for me here...... That'...... let's go."
"Don't send it, goodbye!" Although he said this, Feng Yimo's face was full of folds with a smile at the moment, like a blooming chrysanthemum.

Yu Shanchuan has been very busy in the past two days, and after stamping Su Tuo's gourd diagram, he was taken away by his old friend Feng Yuanfan, and he wanted to go back to the magazine and find a professional photographer to take pictures. After the leader saw the original manuscript, he was also very excited, and made a decision on the spot to set the cover of the next issue.
Feng Yuanfan told him that the boss of his department had passed it, and he could officially get the cover just waiting for the approval of the editor-in-chief. Yu Shanchuan knew that this was right, so he began to contact the Ministry of Culture and the Federation of Literary and Art Circles to report the excavation results of the boneless method.
After doing all this, when he returned home, he just wanted to take a break when he received a call from Feng Yuanfan.
"Old Yu, something has gone wrong, your cover is gone. ”
When Yu Shanchuan heard this, he stood up immediately, and the teacups were overturned. He didn't care about so much, pulled his clothes a few times with his hand, and hurriedly said, "Didn't you communicate with each other yesterday?
"Don't worry, I just got the news, it is said that the editor-in-chief has reserved the cover of this issue. ”
"Editor-in-Chief Gu, how could he meddle in these things?"
"Who knows, if we brought this up in the past, he would approve it directly. ”
"No, I don't have a bone method, the Ministry of Culture attaches great importance to the traditional techniques, did you tell the editor-in-chief?"
"I'm sure I've said it all, wait a minute......" Feng Yuanfan seemed to cover the microphone with his hand. Yu Shanchuan waited restlessly for about two minutes, and Feng Yuanfan's voice came again: "This time the news is confirmed, and the cover gives a sketch of the art student." ”
"I'll go, is there any mistake, a broken sketch can compare to my masterpiece? ”
"Wait a minute, I'll show you the picture. Alas, there is no room for this, you can only choose the second or back cover. ”
