Chapter 464: Learning Gongbi
"I didn't rob you, I just said, this painting is very expensive, can you collect it!" Chen Tian suddenly said again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Li Wenhai listened to Chen Tian's words, and said with some unconvinced: "How much does Xu Hong's painting cost!"
Xu Hong listened to it and didn't know how to answer for a while. After all, Li Wenhai is his principal, so how can he be embarrassed to collect money from him! Besides, this painting of his can only be regarded as an examination paper!
Xu Hong didn't know how to answer, Chen Tian just spoke for Xu Hong. He looked at Li Wenhai and said, "I collected a painting by Xu Hong before, and it cost 10 million! How much do you say this painting is worth?" Although it is not as large as the painting in my collection, it is all the handiwork of Xu Hong. More importantly, this painting is indeed very good, I feel that it is even better than the painting I collected in Xu Hong! Therefore, I feel that this painting can also be worth 10 million. ”
As soon as he heard Chen Tian say this, Li Wenhai frowned. He never thought that Xu Hong's paintings would be so valuable. Originally, Li Wenhai thought that Xu Hong was just an ordinary painter, not a famous painter, and how valuable his paintings would be.
Li Wenhai also felt that Xu Hong's painting was very good, so he wanted to collect one, but when he heard Chen Tian's words, he was a little hesitant, after all, he didn't have much money in his hand. Although he is also an amateur collector, he also collects some famous calligraphy and paintings.
But the calligraphy and paintings in his collection cannot be compared with Chen Tian's collection at all. The calligraphy and paintings collected by others are all heirloom treasures, and the cheap ones are also millions. There are tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of dollars!
And Li Wenhai's collection of works is only tens of thousands of yuan at most, which cannot be compared with Chen Tian's collection at all, so the money in Li Wenhai's hands cannot be compared with Chen Tian. He wanted to collect a piece of Xu Hong's work, just thinking that if Xu Hong became a great painter in the future, then his paintings would definitely be able to appreciate!
But now when he listens to Chen Tian's words, he feels that he is now a little out of reach of Xu Hong's works. I can't afford to collect Xu Hong's works at all.
"Ah, Xu Hong's works are so valuable! If that's the case, I can't afford to collect them. After Li Wenhai finished speaking, he had no choice but to put this work in front of Xu Hong again. After all, this is a painting painted by Xu Hong, and it still has to be returned to him, and others don't have the power they have casually.
When Xu Hong heard this, he hurriedly put the painting in front of Li Wenhai again, he looked at Li Wenhai and said, "Principal Li, Boss Chen is joking with you! My painting is so valuable, if you want me, give it to you!"
Xu Hong said as he pushed the painting towards Li Wenhai again. When Li Wenhai heard this, he was very happy, and he wanted to reach out and get the painting back!
But as soon as he stretched out his hand, there was another hand, faster than his, and he snatched the painting into his hand at once.
"Hey, hey, Lao Chen, what do you mean, Xu Hong said it was for me, why did you snatch it again. "It's none other than Chen Tian who came to grab this painting. As soon as he heard Xu Hong's words, he saw that Xu Hong gave this painting to Li Wenhai again, he was a little unconvinced, so he grabbed it directly.
"Why, as I said, this painting is very valuable, how can it be given to people for nothing! So, I bought it for 10 million. If you can't afford it, then you don't want to own it. Although Chen Tian was joking with Li Wenhai, it could be seen from his expression that he really wanted this painting very much!
Chen Tian is an expert in the art of painting, and he can see at a glance that this work of Xu Hong is very remarkable, and this painting will definitely appreciate in value in the future. Therefore, he really wanted Xu Hong's painting.
In fact, this painting painted by Xu Hong should be said to be a famous painting. This painting is a famous ancient painting copied by Xu Hong. That is, the hand-me-down work of Song Huizong. Before Xu Hong was reborn, when he was studying at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, he studied 'Chinese painting'. For Gongbi paintings, it is very familiar.
He is also very familiar with this painting of Song Huizong's "Hibiscus Brocade Chicken", so he thought of painting such a work as a professional painting for his application for the "Beijing Academy of Fine Arts". Since, Xu Hong had copied many copies of this work before his death, so this time, his painting was more expressive.
"Old Chen, are you bullying us poor! No wonder you are so rich, are you so cunning and robbing!" Li Wenhai looked at Chen Tian and made a joke.
Chen Tian and Li Wenhai, although they are not very good friends, can be regarded as friends who can joke together. The two usually meet often, eat and drink together. It's a good friend.
When Chen Tian heard Li Wenhai's words, he smiled again and said, "I didn't bully you! If you can give 10 million now, I will give you this painting." I spent money to buy this painting, and I didn't ask for this painting for nothing, how can you say that I am bullying you!"
As soon as he heard Chen Tian say this, Li Wenhai just opened his mouth and had nothing to say for a while.
Xu Hong looked at Chen Tian's appearance, and also felt that he was a bit too much, did he clearly look down on Principal Li!
So Xu Hong looked at Li Wenhai again and said, "Principal Li, it's okay, if you like it, I'll paint another picture for you." ”
As soon as he heard Xu Hong say this, Li Wenhai said happily: "Okay, if you paint me again, I won't ask for your painting in vain, so I don't have much money in my hand, so I can only ask for 100,000 yuan! I plan to buy you a painting for 100,000 yuan, what do you think." ”
Li Wenhai now likes Xu Hong's works very much, and he just wants to treasure them! Now when he heard Xu Hong's words, he laughed happily again. After laughing, he looked at Chen Tian again and said, "Boss Chen, you don't have to rob me now! Xu Hong is willing to paint me another one!"
Chen Tian listened to Xu Hong's words, just looked at him and joked: "Xu Hong, you can paint another painting for him, but you must not paint too well, just paint casually, you must not paint as well as this painting in my hand, what do you think." ”
Xu Hong listened to Chen Tian's words, and said with a smile: "Boss Chen, this painting is not what you want to paint, you can paint anything. This painting is inspiring. Only if you have inspiration, then if you draw it, it will be very realistic and expressive! If you don't have inspiration, then the painting will not be very beautiful!"
"Yes, it's not easy to draw. So, you just don't need to bother with anything, just draw a picture for Principal Li. Don't look better than the one I have. Chen Tian looked at Xu Hong again and said.
Xu Hong listened to Chen Tian's words, and said with a smile: "It's hard to say, maybe my painting is better than the one in your hand, maybe the painting is not as good as the one in your hand, this matter, in short, is not easy to draw conclusions now." ”
As soon as he heard Xu Hong say this, Chen Tian looked at Li Wenhai again and said, "Otherwise, there is no need for Xu Hong to paint again, you can take this painting back!"
After speaking, Chen Tian returned the painting to Li Wenhai.
Li Wenhai took the painting, looked at Chen Tian and said, "Hey, you found it with your conscience, so you returned the painting to me." I'm still afraid that Xu Hong will paint another work, which will be better than the one in your hand!"
When Chen Tian heard Li Wenhai's words, he smiled again and said, "What are you talking about? I'm not afraid that Xu Hong's painting will be better than this one. I just thought that there should be another way to deal with this painting of yours, rather than collecting it yourself. ”
As soon as he heard Chen Tian say this, Li Wenhai looked at him in bewilderment and said, "What are you talking about? ”
"That's right, I feel that you should put Xu Hong's works in the art exhibition hall of your Academy of Fine Arts. Let the teachers and students of the whole school enjoy this masterpiece together. Chen Tian looked at Li Wenhai and suddenly said such a sentence.
When Li Wenhai heard this, he smiled and said: "Okay, what you said is right, a really good work of art should not be owned by a certain person, it should be placed in the exhibition hall so that everyone can see and appreciate it, so that the real content of the work can be displayed!"
There is an art exhibition hall in the 'Beijing Academy of Fine Arts'. It often houses the works of some of the more well-known painters at home and abroad. There are modern ones, and there are ancient ones.
The function of this art exhibition hall is to allow students to appreciate the works of some masters while studying, so that they can see the gaps in their works from the works of the masters, and then constantly improve their skills in a certain aspect of painting, so that their paintings can be painted well, and they can get as close to the works of the masters as possible.
But in this exhibition hall, there is no exhibition of any of the works of the students. Because, everyone feels that the works of students in school are not qualified to be placed in the exhibition hall. Although there are many painters in it, they graduated from the 'Beijing Academy of Fine Arts'. But when they were studying at the 'Beijing Academy of Fine Arts', they didn't have any works, so they put them in the exhibition hall of the 'Beijing Academy of Fine Arts'!
And Xu Hong, a student who has not yet gone to school for a day and is only a prospective classmate, the works he signed up for the exam are actually going to be collected in the exhibition hall of the 'Beijing Academy of Fine Arts'. This is a good thing for any student!
Although Li Wenhai also wanted this work of Xu Hong, and wanted to collect this work separately! However, when he saw Chen Tian, he also liked this work very much, and was willing to pay 10 million yuan to buy this work! This made Li Wenhai a little unhappy, and he would rather put this work in the exhibition hall of the 'Beijing Academy of Fine Arts' than Chen Tian to collect this work again!
Chen Tian listened to Li Wenhai's words, and then looked at Xu Hong and said, "Xu Hong, how do you feel, is it appropriate to deal with your works like this?" ”
When Xu Hong heard this, he looked at Chen Tian again and said: "Of course you can, this work of mine is just an exam paper, and it is of course a good thing that it can be placed in the exhibition hall of the 'Beijing Academy of Fine Arts'." ”
Xu Hong knows that for himself, what he needs now is not some immediate benefits, not how much money he can sell for a painting, but his own fame and status. The most important thing a painter needs is fame, which is the same as an actor, only when you are famous, your value will rise, and your works will rise.
If a painter wants to sell his works for a good price, he must constantly increase his fame. Only when the fame is great, the price of the work will rise.
And if Xu Hong has not officially gone to school for a day, he can put his work in the exhibition hall of the 'Beijing Academy of Fine Arts', it can be said that it is a great honor for him! It is even possible, because of this work, he has become famous in the 'Beijing Academy of Fine Arts'!
After the three of them discussed how to deal with Xu Hong's exam papers this time, they began to eat and drink again. Li Wenhai is also very happy now, and it can be regarded as his luck to get a candidate like Xu Hong.
After eating, Chen Tian broke up with Xu Hong and Li Wenhai, of course, he also talked about it, that is, he settled the money for their meal.
After that, Li Wenhai took Xu Hong back to school.
After arriving at the school, Li Wenhai first took Xu Hong to his office.
He first asked Xu Hong what kind of painting he liked the most, and what kind of painting method he wanted to learn, whether it was Chinese painting or Western painting.
Of course, Xu Hong said that he liked Chinese painting, after all, Xu Hong's strength was fine brushwork. He also wants to study and further his education in this area.
After Xu Hong chose his major, Li Wenhai brought Xu Hong to the Chinese Painting Academy of the 'Beijing Academy of Fine Arts'. In the 'Beijing Academy of Fine Arts', there are many classified colleges, which are the same as ordinary universities. For each type of specialization, there is a separate college.
Xu Hong wants to learn Gongbi painting, of course, he has to go to the Chinese Painting Academy.
Li Wenhai took Xu Hong to the Chinese Painting Academy of the 'Beijing Academy of Fine Arts' and assigned him to the Gongbi Department. In the Department of Gongbi, there are three classes with more than 100 students. In the Academy of Chinese Painting, there are still a lot of students who learn gongbi. After all, gongbi painting is also a basic painting of Chinese painting. Only when you have a good painting can you draw other paintings. For example, freehand painting, realism, splashing ink, and so on are all derived from gongbi in terms of technique.
In this sense, learning to draw is the same as learning calligraphy. If you want to learn calligraphy well, you must start by practicing block letters, as long as you write the block letters, you can practice block letters and cursive script. As long as you do this step by step, you can practice Chinese calligraphy well.
When practicing Chinese calligraphy, many people will feel that they don't like block letters, and feel that this kind of characters have no sense of art and beauty, so when practicing, they just don't want to practice block letters, but directly practice block letters or cursive script.
This is a mistake, just like a child who has to learn to walk before he can learn to run, if you can't even walk, how can you run! The same is true when practicing calligraphy, only when you have practiced the block letters well can you practice the block letters and cursive characters well.
If you don't practice block letters first, or practice block letters and cursive script directly, then you will definitely not practice well. Although, even if you practice straight or cursive, it will have some effect, and it will look better than what you wrote before.
But the result of this is that it is difficult for you to become a real calligrapher, because if you don't have the skills to practice block letters, you will not be able to write well in block letters and cursive letters no matter what. It's good to be able to write better than the average person.
If you want to become a real calligrapher, you must start by practicing block letters, first practice block letters, and then practice block letters and cursive script, so that you can become a real calligrapher.
It's the same with learning to paint, whether it's Chinese painting or Western painting. The technique of gongbi is very important, which can be said to be a foundation of all paintings, just like practicing martial arts, it is the same to practice some basic skills.
Gongbi painting in Chinese painting is a foundation of all paintings, if you can't draw well, then you don't want to paint other paintings. Because of this, after entering the 'Beijing Academy of Fine Arts', as long as they are students studying Chinese painting, most of them will choose the major of gongbi painting.
If you want to learn Western painting, you must start with sketching. Western sketches are the equivalent of Chinese gongbi paintings. Only if you learn sketching well can you learn oil painting, so that you can paint the main types of oil painting in Western painting.
Xu Hong went to the 'Central Academy of Fine Arts' before his rebirth, and he knew what he really liked and what he was best at. That's why he chose the profession of gongbi.
Of course, for Xu Hong, there is a more important reason why he wants to choose this major. That is, when he plans to graduate from the 'Beijing Academy of Fine Arts', he wants to paint a stunning work, he wants to hold a large-scale art exhibition with such a stunning work, and then let himself become the most famous great painter in Beijing because of this amazing work!
The amazing work that Xu Hong wants to paint is, of course, the national treasure-level painting - "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival". Xu Hong knows very well that in this parallel world, there are many great painters in the world without him, whether ancient or modern, they are different.
Some of the great painters in this world, Xu Hong has never heard of at all. And people in this world don't know that he has some great painters in the world.
Since there are no great painters in his world in this world, there are no masterpieces in his world in this parallel world.
There is no world-famous painting like "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" in this world. And Xu Hong just wants to become the most famous painter in Beijing through 'copying' such a stunning work!
"Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" is a figure painting with fine brushwork. Of course, it can also be said that it is a painting of fine brushwork. In such a work, there are numerous figures and buildings. There are also some trees, flowers and birds. It can be said that this amazing work contains many categories in Gongbi painting, and it is an excellent work of Gongbi painting.
Xu Hong is very clear about this, so he thought of copying such a work at an important moment. In this way, he has the potential to become the most famous painter in the capital!
It is precisely because Xu Hong has such an idea that he will not hesitate to choose the major of gongbi painting. He has his own thoughts, and some of his own inner thoughts, he will not tell others, others just won't know what he really thinks in his heart.
After Xu Hong told President Li about the major he wanted to study, Li Wenhai took him to the Chinese Painting Academy of the 'Beijing Academy of Fine Arts', and then took him to a Gongbi painting classroom in this college.
In this classroom, there are more than 30 students, all of whom are young people, all of whom were directly admitted to the 'Beijing Academy of Fine Arts' after graduating from high school. Of course, among these students, there are also some students, but because they are not good at studying, and their families are rich and powerful, so they spend money on this 'Beijing Academy of Fine Arts' through some connections, and then mix a university diploma here.
Xu Hong is now the only student in this class who has entered this class through additional enrollment.
In this 'Beijing Academy of Fine Arts', there is a tradition that everyone, for those students who are admitted through the extra places, they look down on them, and feel that these students are not official students of the 'Beijing Academy of Fine Arts' at all.
Everyone just feels that these students are some 'related households', they have money or connections in their families, anyway, they don't come in through normal channels, they all spend money to come in, and these students are the most despised by other students.
Even before, some of those high school graduates were admitted to this 'Beijing Academy of Fine Arts' through relationships. Even so, people have to look down on so-called social youths like Xu Hong. I feel that these people are all people who have no foundation in painting, they are all people who don't know how to paint, they are all people who have money in their families, and they want to go to the 'Beijing Academy of Fine Arts' to get a diploma.
Xu Hong has just come to this school, and he doesn't know much about this school. Although, he also attended the 'Central Academy of Fine Arts' during his lifetime. But the 'Central Academy of Fine Arts' is not the same as this 'Beijing Academy of Fine Arts'.
In this parallel world where Xu Hong was reborn, there is no art academy called the Central Academy of Fine Arts. This 'Beijing Academy of Fine Arts' is equivalent to the 'Central Academy of Fine Arts' in the world before Xu Hong's death, and it is the highest level of art academy in the country.
Xu Hong can be admitted to this 'Beijing Academy of Fine Arts' now, just as he was able to be admitted to the 'Central Academy of Fine Arts' before his death. In their country, as long as they like painting, they all want to be admitted to this art school!
But because some people's painting skills are not very good, and if you don't have anything to do with it, or if you don't have too much money, you just don't want to go to this art school!
