Chapter 633: Art Sea Academy of Fine Arts

Many of these works are copied from the works of some of the world's most famous painters during his lifetime. At this time, Xu Hong thought of a painting he had painted before called "Bird Picture". This is a masterpiece painted by a famous painter in ancient times.

This painting depicts two people standing on a branch of a tree named Sparrow. The two sparrows occupy very little of the picture, though. But these two sparrows are vividly painted, very vivid and interesting.

At that time, Xu Hong saw that the two sparrows in this picture were very vivid and interesting, so he copied this painting. But he didn't draw well the first time. He also copied it a few times before he felt that he could paint this painting well.

Now Xu Hong has spent two days painting such a picture that he has painted. After he finished the drawing, he took it to Principal Li's office.

"Principal Li, what do you think of this painting? Xu Hong opened the painting and put it on the desk in front of Principal Li.

Principal Li took a look at Xu Hong's painting and felt that Xu Hong's painting was very good. The two little sparrows in the painting, standing on the branches of a peach tree, are chirping. Their forms are realistic, their poses are natural, and everything feels like looking at a photograph. And the appearance of the two sparrows singing happily with their small beaks open makes people feel that as long as they see this painting, they have already heard the call of the birds. I am already in a peach orchard.

"Xu Hong, your painting is so good, I am fascinated by this painting! Okay, you put this painting here with me, and I will take it to the organizing committee to show them." If you can, you can pass the preliminary examination. Then it's time to move on to the semi-finals. ”

Li Wenhai is a person who has a great appreciation for works of art, and when he looks at Xu Hong's works, he feels that the artistic level of these works is very high, and even he, the president of the Academy of Fine Arts, cannot reach Xu Hong's painting skills.

"Okay, I'll just wait for your good news!" Xu Hong is also very confident, he knows his level of painting, in this parallel world, it is definitely one of the best. As long as your own painting is used to participate in the competition, there is no reason not to win the grand prize.

In this way, Xu Hong just waited for Li Wenhai's good news at school. I thought that my painting could pass the preliminary examination.

However, three days later, Li Wenhai called Xu Hong to his office again. Then, some of the words he said to him made Xu Hong a little confused.

That's what Li Wenhai said.

"Xu Hong, I'm sorry, this time your painting didn't pass the preliminary review. Li Wenhai looked at Xu Hong and said with some embarrassment. Hearing Li Wenhai's words, Xu Hong couldn't believe his ears. His own paintings, which are definitely a superb work painted by him.

This excellent work, when it came to the organizing committee of the 'National Youth Painting Competition', it did not even pass the preliminary examination. If that's the case, then Xu Hong doesn't want to win any awards at all this time. His paintings couldn't even pass the preliminary examination of this competition, so what kind of grand prize did he win. Because, even if you pass the preliminary review, there will be a semi-final and a final, two passes. You have to pass it all to get this grand prize!

But Xu Hong's excellent work, when it came to the organizing committee of the 'National Youth Painting Competition', it didn't even pass the preliminary examination, isn't it too strange!

"Principal Li, how is this possible, this ---! My painting is so bad, I can't even pass the preliminary examination!" Xu Hong looked at Li Wenhai with puzzled eyes. It was as if he wanted to find some answers from Li Wenhai's face.

At this time, Li Wenhai just looked at Xu Hong and said helplessly: "Xu Hong, it's not that you don't paint well. It's just that this year, the organizing committee has standardized the form of all entries, and it is no longer possible to draw casually. Instead, it is necessary to draw Western paintings. In other words, all the entries should be oil paintings!"

When Xu Hong heard Li Wenhai's words, he just looked at him puzzled and said, "Principal Li, what's going on! Didn't you say that most of the works that participate in this painting competition every year are Chinese painting works? Moreover, the works that can win the grand prize in such a competition every year are all gongbi paintings. This year, it is necessary to make it mandatory to draw Western paintings. ”

Li Wenhai listened to Xu Hong's words, and then said: "I also feel strange about this, at that time, I also asked some expert leaders of the organizing committee. They said that the reason is that every year's entries are mainly Chinese paintings. In particular, almost all of the works that won the award were Gongbi paintings. Although, the organizing committee does not stipulate what form of work everyone paints every year. But everyone just coincidentally painted Chinese paintings. After all, there are still many people who like Chinese painting.

Since then, almost all of the entries every year are Chinese paintings, especially those that can enter the finals, almost all of them are Chinese paintings, and there are very few Western paintings.

It is precisely because of the emergence of such painters in the 'National Youth Painting Competition' in recent years, all of whom are painters who paint Chinese paintings. And there are hardly any painters who paint Western paintings. This made the organizing committee decide that this year it should clearly stipulate that only Western paintings will be painted, and Chinese paintings will not be accepted.

It's just that it's a temporary provision. Therefore, after returning these Chinese paintings to the original painter, he can continue to paint another oil painting and hand it over. ”

As soon as he heard Li Wenhai say this, Xu Hong understood what was going on, and co-authoring this work of his own did not conform to other people's regulations at all!

In this way, Xu Hong's painting "Bird Picture" painted this time. Although the painting was very good, it did not pass the preliminary examination of the Organizing Committee of the National Youth Painting Competition. Not to mention, I still want to enter the semi-finals and then win the grand prize in the final.

However, after Xu Hong was depressed for a while, he felt that it didn't matter. This is only a preliminary review, although this time it did not pass, you can continue to paint another oil painting. When the time comes, you will not be able to pass the preliminary examination.

Thinking of this, Xu Hong said, "Principal Li, it doesn't matter! Since that's the case, I'll just paint another oil painting." Li Wenhai listened to Xu Hong's words, and said again: "That's the only way." Let's paint another oil painting and look at it. If you can't pass the preliminary examination, then you won't have a chance!"

"Okay, I'm sure I can. Xu Hong looked at Li Wenhai and said confidently.

For Xu Hong, he knows his painting skills. Although he is good at painting Chinese paintings, he does not know how to paint oil paintings. Moreover, even if he paints oil paintings, it is better than many great painters in this parallel world!

Because, Xu Hong knows very well that the painting level of many painters in this parallel world is very ordinary. A first-class painter in this world is equivalent to a third-rate painter in the world before his death. This is not a level of notch at all.

After Xu Hong told Li Wenhai about this now, he went back to his classroom. For Xu Hong, he just wants to paint it well. People didn't want the Chinese paintings he painted, so he had to paint oil paintings.

But Xu Hong and Li Wenhai didn't know that this time, the reason why the organizing committee of the 'National Youth Painting Competition' suddenly came up with such a regulation was because of the "Bird Picture" he painted.

The main reason is that Xu Hong's "Bird Picture" is so good that some people are scared. They feel that if Xu Hong's "Bird Picture" participates in this "National Youth Painting Competition" competition, he will definitely be able to win the grand prize. In this case, one of them will not be able to win the grand prize.

Because of this, these bigwigs decided to introduce a new regulation, and not let Xu Hong's "Bird Picture" win the grand prize! Because, these bigwigs thought, although Xu Hong's "Bird Picture" is very good and very skilled. But this can only show that Xu Hong is just a master of Chinese painting. It doesn't mean that he is a master of oil painting. They are big shots, and with such a regulation, it is possible that Xu Hong will not be able to win the grand prize.

What is going on in this matter, we have to go into more detail.

In fact, in addition to the 'Beijing Academy of Fine Arts', there are three other art academies. It's just that except for a school called 'Yihai Academy of Fine Arts', which is still a little large-scale, the other two art academies are not very good.

And this 'Art Sea Academy of Fine Arts' has a good momentum of development in the past two years. Because, this 'Art Sea Academy of Fine Arts' has won the first prize of the 'National Youth Painting Competition' for two consecutive years. In other words, the contestants who have participated in the 'National Youth Painting Competition' and won the championship in recent years are all from the 'Art Sea Academy of Fine Arts'!

Although the 'Beijing Academy of Fine Arts' is the largest art academy in Beijing, there have been no contestants in the past few years, and they have won the championship trophy of the 'National Youth Painting Competition'. Since then, the reputation of the 'Art Sea Art Academy' has grown a lot. Although, the 'Beijing Academy of Fine Arts' relies on the reputation it has cultivated before, and in terms of the number of enrollments, it is still much more than the 'Art Sea Academy of Fine Arts'. But the total number of people is already showing a trend of gradual decrease every year. The reason is that in recent years, the "Art Sea Academy of Fine Arts" has always been able to win the title of the "National Youth Painting Competition".

You must know that this 'National Youth Painting Competition' can be the highest standard painting competition in the country. It was through this competition that many famous painters in China became famous painters.

In such a high-level competition, not to mention the first-place champion can become famous overnight and become a nationally renowned painter. Even if it's the second and third place, it's the same, and you will become a well-known painter.

In addition to the top three, there are rankings and bonuses. The top 10 in this competition, those are all ranked and bonus. It's just that from fourth to tenth, there are only some bonuses, and there are no trophies. These people are just walking around the stage and receiving the bonus. Reporters at the award ceremony will not interview the painters from fourth to tenth place. Only the top three painters will be interviewed. Especially the painter of the first place. When he won the championship trophy, he immediately became the focus of the audience. It can be said that he became famous in one fell swoop, and he became famous!

This first place, not only has a prize of 100,000 yuan, but also can gain huge fame. These fame, that is, intangible assets. With this huge fame, this painter could become famous overnight, and the price of his paintings, which was also soaring rapidly.

In particular, when this champion participated in the 'National Youth Painting Competition' this time, the price of this award-winning work painted by this champion will definitely skyrocket. Because, this work, it can be said that this painter is famous. Such a painting is definitely going to be hyped as a classic. For such works, the price starts from one million.

In the end, the works of the painter who won the championship can be auctioned for 1 million to 10 million, and sometimes, even tens of millions. It can be said that as long as he wins the grand prize in this 'National Youth Painting Competition', then this painter is already a multimillionaire.

Because this competition is very important, winning the championship is fame and fortune. Therefore, as long as the painters who participate in this competition, they all want to win this award! Even if it is this contestant, the school he represents will very much want his contestant to win the grand prize.

Because after this player wins the grand prize, even with it, the school behind this player will be stained. As long as a certain art academy produces such an excellent painter. Then the reputation of this school will also grow a lot. There will be a lot more students who want to go to this art academy!

This is the way it is in this world, where there is interest, it will breed **. This time, the 'National Youth Painting Competition'. In the final analysis, it is also a competition of interests. Whoever gets the big prize will get the most benefits. And with it, some of the people behind this championship will also get some benefits.

It is the temptation of this interest that makes some powerful people lose their way, and under the temptation of money, they have lost their character as human beings. began to accept bribes, operate in the dark, and artificially create some championship winners.

It can be said that in the past few years, the champion of the 'National Youth Painting Competition' was artificially created, and someone operated in the dark to create such a champion. And these people who operate in the dark are inextricably linked with the 'Art Sea Academy of Fine Arts'.

The principal of this 'Yihai Academy of Fine Arts' is called Cheng Yihai. He is a middle-aged man in his fifties. He and Li Wenhai of the 'Beijing Academy of Fine Arts' can also be regarded as classmates.
