Chapter 636: Tenth place

That's where the author's brilliance lies. Leonardo da Vinci painted us a woman who was not very beautiful, but very beautiful. She didn't look like she was smiling, but her smile was already imprinted in the hearts of people all over the world.

Compared with other arts, one of the biggest characteristics of painting art is that it is the unity of form and spirit. There is a big difference between the work of a truly great painter and the work of a painter who is not as good as the stream.

The difference is not between the image and the non-image. It's about whether there is a god in the painting. It's like any ordinary painter can copy the works of some great painters. But when you are copying, you naturally can't reach the same level as the great painters.

Just like Xu Hong is now copying Leonardo da Vinci's famous painting "Mona Lisa". Although he also painted a lot of similarities, it can't be compared to the original!

But no matter what, this work painted by Xu Hong is very remarkable in this world. Because, in this parallel world, there are simply not some very famous great painters at all. In this world, although there are some so-called great painters, their level is equivalent to some third-rate painters in the world before Xu Hong's death.

Although Xu Hong's painting level was not very good in the world when he was alive, after he arrived in this world, he became a very great painter.

Li Wenhai was also very shocked after looking at Xu Hong's "Mona Lisa". Before, he just felt that Xu Hong's Chinese paintings were very good. But he just didn't expect that Xu Hong could paint oil paintings so well.

"Xu Hong, your painting is really good. I don't need to paint anymore, just this one painting, as long as I take it to the competition, I will definitely be able to win the grand prize. ”

After Li Wenhai looked at Xu Hong's works, he felt that Xu Hong's paintings were very good, and his level, in this parallel world, was definitely a first-class level.

"Really, Principal Li, don't be too confident, I know my level. In our school, of course, it is still said in the past, but in terms of the whole country, it may not be very good. Xu Hong looked at Li Wenhai and said modestly.

Li Wenhai listened to Xu Hong's words and said: "You have never seen the big market, and it can be said that there are few people in the whole country who can compare with you! This painting is really good, you can rest assured, as long as your painting participates in this 'National Youth Painting Competition,' you will definitely be able to win the grand prize." ”

"Is it really possible!" Xu Hong pretended to be surprised. "Of course, believe me or not, you can bet with me. Li Wenhai looked at Xu Hong again and said.

"Okay, I believe that Principal Li's is not good yet, how dare I bet with Principal Li. However, to be honest, Xu Hong believes in his painting skills very much. But he knows even more that in such a game, there must be a cat greasy. Your own painting is good, but if you encounter some cats, no matter how good your painting is, isn't it also for nothing!

"Haha, that's right, Xu Hong! Why would you want to draw a foreign woman? Why don't you draw a Chinese woman. Li Wenhai looked at Xu Hong, and felt a little strange about the image of the woman in his painting. After all, they are in the country. Why not draw a domestic woman!

When Xu Hong heard Li Wenhai's words, he was stunned for a moment. After all, he didn't expect Li Wenhai to ask such a question. When Xu Hong painted this painting, he just wanted to copy this famous painting, as for whether the woman in the painting was a foreign woman or a domestic woman, Xu Hong didn't think so much.

However, Xu Hong is also a smart person, and after thinking for a while, he looked at Li Wenhai and said with a smile: "Is this very simple, because I feel that since I am painting a Western painting, then I should draw a Western woman! Wouldn't this look more natural!"

As soon as Xu Hong said this, Li Wenhai felt that it was also very reasonable. After all, oil painting is a Western art form, and the woman in the painting is itself painted as the image of a Western woman, which makes people feel very natural, just make people feel that the work of this painting itself is the same as that of Westerners!

"Well, what you said is also reasonable, this Western painting directly depicts a Western woman, this is also reasonable, no wonder I look at your painting, it feels very natural!" Li Wenhai listened to Xu Hong's words, and said again.

At this time, Xu Hong also nodded, and boasted in his heart that his ability to adapt to changes was still very strong! But after Li Wenhai asked about this matter, he asked another question: "Xu Hong, the woman you painted is a Western woman. Could it be that you have gone abroad, met this woman, and then painted the appearance of this woman in your heart? ”

As soon as Xu Hong heard Li Wenhai say this, he smiled and said, "No, I haven't been abroad." The image of the woman in this painting is the image of a heroine in a foreign movie I have seen before. At that time, I liked the image of this heroine very much, so deep down, I always remembered the image of this woman. Now I want to create an oil painting, so I want to paint a woman abroad. So, I also drew the image of this Western 'goddess' in my heart. ”

After listening to Xu Hong's words, Li Wenhai looked at him and said with a smile: "Haha, I didn't expect you to be interested in foreign women! Does your girlfriend know about this? If she knew, she would be jealous too!"

As soon as he heard Li Wenhai say this, Xu Hong just smiled and said: "My girlfriend doesn't know yet, it's just a secret hidden in my heart." Now, I use this painting to express her, which can be regarded as a kind of catharsis!"

"Well, what you said makes so much sense, no wonder you can draw such a picture! It turns out that you have drawn the 'goddess' in your heart. Li Wenhai looked at Xu Hong again and said.

"Yes, otherwise, I could paint so well, it was all an expression of my feelings. I can say that I painted such a work with my true feelings. Xu Hong looked at Li Wenhai again and said.

"Okay, Xu Hong said very well, this time you have a painting, as long as you take it to participate in the 'National Youth Painting Competition', you will definitely win the grand prize." Li Wenhai looked at Xu Hong again and said.

"I hope so!" Xu Hong also smiled.

Tomorrow, I will take your painting to the organizing committee of the 'National Youth Painting Competition.'" Let's wait for the good news that you won the grand prize!" Li Wenhai looked at Xu Hong happily and said.

"Okay, then thank you, Principal Li. Xu Hong also looked at Li Wenhai and said politely.

-------------------------

The next day, Li Wenhai took Xu Hong's painting to the organizing committee. When he showed Xu Hong's works to the judges of the organizing committee, everyone also showed surprised expressions, and they all praised Xu Hong's works for their good paintings!

Seeing this situation, Li Wenhai was also very happy, and felt that Xu Hong's work this time would definitely be able to win the grand prize in this 'National Youth Painting Competition'!

After returning to school, Li Wenhai also told Xu Hong that his work was praised by the judges after it won the organizing committee of the 'National Youth Painting Competition'. This marks that Xu Hong's work is very likely to win awards in this 'competition'.

Xu Hong listened to Li Wenhai's words, of course, he was also very happy, and thought that his work would definitely be able to win the grand prize in this 'National Youth Painting Competition'. After all, Xu Hong himself is also very confident, he knows that he is copying one of the most famous oil paintings in the world during his lifetime. This work, even in this parallel world, will definitely be a very good work.

So, in the next few days, Xu Hong and Li Wenhai were very happy to wait for the good news! They thought that the "Mona Lisa" they sent to the organizing committee this time would definitely win the grand prize!

But what they couldn't have imagined was that this time the "Mona Lisa" they sent to the organizing committee, in the final selection, not only did not win any awards, but they didn't even enter the top three, ranking tenth. That's almost not even in the top 10.

Such a result made Xu Hong and Li Wenhai a little angry. Especially Li Wenhai, now that he sees this result, he just wants to scold his mother!

"Damn, what the hell is going on, our work is so good, why did we get a tenth place!" Li Wenhai was very angry when he saw the result of such a competition. But he couldn't help it. This time, there were several people who judged the entries! Who was the reason why this excellent work could not win the grand prize?

"Forget it, Principal Li, since that's the case, then let's admit it! I look at this competition, there must be something greasy in it. Since someone is doing this in the dark, then we don't want to win the grand prize. ”

Looking at such a result, Xu Hong also felt that this time the game must be unfair. With a work like his, not to mention winning the first place, at least he has to win the second or third place? No matter what, it is impossible to get the tenth place.

"No, I must investigate, there must be something greasy in this! Damn, what the hell is going on with the judges of this organizing committee, when I gave them this work before, they all said that the work sent by our school is very good! But if it is very good, then why can't even the top three get in!" Li Wenhai looked at Xu Hong very incomprehensibly and said.

"Principal Li, this must be the judges of the organizing committee who accepted a bribe from a certain contestant, so they are going to this contestant. And we seem to be people that people don't like very much. That's why we got this 10th place. ”

Xu Hong also knows very well that his work is very good. In such a competition, even if you don't get the first place, you should still get the second or third place. Anyway, it can't be a tenth place. Almost, didn't even make it into the top ten, isn't it strange!

"There is some truth in what you say, but what I don't understand is that since someone deliberately can't get along with us, then why did he let us enter the top ten! Why didn't he just let us not even get into the top ten!"

Li Wenhai listened to Xu Hong's words and felt that it was very reasonable, but he didn't understand one thing, since the opponent deliberately couldn't get along with them. Why do you want to let them in the top 10? Why don't you just 'down' them to the top 10 if they can't even get into the top 10!

Xu Hong listened to Li Wenhai's words, and then said again: "I feel like this, maybe they feel that the painting I painted is indeed a good painting, if they insist that I can't even get into the top ten, their own conscience will feel uneasy! ”

Hearing Xu Hong say this, Li Wenhai felt very reasonable when he heard it. He looked at Xu Hong and said, "Well, your analysis is very reasonable, these old guys, they must be looking at your paintings are really good, if you put your paintings outside the top ten, and you can't even win any awards, they will not be able to get any awards." ”

"This must be the case, Principal Li, then since my painting has already participated in the competition, can you still bring it back to me!"

Xu Hong knows that this work of his own can definitely be regarded as one of his masterpieces. Although he didn't win the grand prize in this competition, he didn't want the painting to fall into someone's hands, and he wanted to keep it for himself!

"Xu Hong, I'm afraid you won't be able to get this painting back. Li Wenhai said.

"Ahh I don't understand why I can't get my paintings back.

"Xu Hong, this question is like this. The top 10 paintings of the National Youth Painting Competition are generally owned by the judges of the organizing committee. They gave some prize money to these ten people, and then the works went to these people.

And these works outside the top ten, because they can't win any awards, these works seem to have no meaning. As a result, these guys on the jury will also return these works to the authors. And the top ten authors, their works, belong to the old guys of the jury. Li Wenhai looked at Xu Hong and said about it.

Xu Hong listened to Li Wenhai's words, and said very puzzled: "How can they have such a rule, then if I still want to get my work back, then what should I do!"

Xu Hong wants to get his works back now, and he doesn't want his works to fall into the hands of some corrupt elements who take bribes.
