Chapter 646: The Most Fair Match
Chapter 646: The Most Fair Game
At most, it's an hour or two. In such a short period of time, it is really difficult to draw a good gongbi painting. But Xu Hong is not an ordinary person, he has a deep foundation in painting, and he can do what others can't do.
Of course, Xu Hong is not a fairy, even if he has superhuman painting talent, he has to prepare in advance, and he must know what kind of painting he wants to paint when he arrives for the competition. This painting had to be put into his mind in advance.
In the next few days, Xu Hong was preparing the works he was going to paint in this competition. In his mind, he already stored a lot of paintings. In particular, he also knows a lot about some ancient famous paintings.
Now Xu Hong thinks that he only needs to copy one of these historical paintings he knows. Anyway, he knew that in this world, there were no famous painters and some classics in the world during his lifetime. It's not just that there are no modern painters, but even the ancient ones.
Xu Hong is now thinking about the painting he wants to paint again. He first thought about some of the famous works of Gongbi painting in history that he knew. Of course, as long as you think of Gongbi paintings, the first thing that comes to anyone's mind is the "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" by the great painter Zhang Zeduan of the Northern Song Dynasty. This can be said to be a work of national treasure. Throughout the history of China, there is no painting that can be compared with this painting.
Of course, Xu Hong also thought of this magnificent masterpiece at once. But he knew that this magnificent masterpiece was not a work that could be completed in an hour or two. Not to mention an hour or two, even if it is a day or two, it is impossible to complete such a huge work.
Xu Hong also knew that sooner or later he would have to paint such a huge work, but now was not the time, and now he had to participate in the competition, so he could only paint a relatively small work.
So, Xu Hong conceived the works he wanted to paint in his mind. As he thought about it, he thought of a work he had painted before. This work is called "Ming Chun Tu". This painting is relatively small, and the content inside is relatively simple. There are a few willow branches, and a few white magnolia flowers that are in full bloom.
On the branches of the magnolia flowers, two red rhododendron birds are singing. The whole picture is very fresh. The white magnolia flowers create a strong color contrast with the fiery red azalea. It makes people feel like they have a visual impact.
This work, although it is not the work of a famous artist. But in Xu Hong's heart, this work is a famous work. He was very partial to this work during his lifetime. It can be said that I have copied many times.
Now Xu Hong thinks that during the competition, he will draw this "Ming Chun Tu" and use this work to participate in the competition. I'm sure I'll be able to get the big prize.
Of course, in the following time, Xu Hong also copied such a work many times below. Because, this time, the competition is to do paintings on the spot. If you don't conceive of a work in advance. If you wait until the scene to conceive it, I'm afraid it's too late!
In this way, a week later, the "National Youth Painting Competition" was held again at the "Beijing Academy of Fine Arts". It's just that this time, the game was played on the spot. It's not like you're judging the work after you've done it.
This scene was held in the art museum of the 'Beijing Academy of Fine Arts'. These contestants can also be said to be some excellent painting enthusiasts selected from all over the country.
Xu Hong and several other classmates represented the 'Beijing Academy of Fine Arts' to participate in such a competition. At the scene of this competition, there are many new judges. Among them, there is a big man. This man is none other than the bitter winter!
This time, Yan Dong is going to personally preside over this 'National Youth Painting Competition'. He had to look at the contestants with his own eyes, and after he had finished drawing, he would have him and a few judges compete on the spot.
That Cheng Yihai's son Cheng Ming also came to participate in the competition. He came to the competition on behalf of the 'Art Sea Academy of Fine Arts'. But this kid doesn't have any score at all now. After all, he was not good at painting Chinese paintings. It's just good at oil painting. And this time, the superior leaders stipulated that Chinese paintings must be painted, which made Cheng Ming, a kid, a little overwhelmed. But no matter what, since he is coming to participate in the competition, of course he has to draw a picture. But he also knew that this time, he would definitely not get any ranking. Because, he knows very well that his level is not good. Painting oil painting is almost the same, if you paint Chinese painting, it is impossible to enter the top ten.
Now Xu Hong has come again with all the other contestants, and in the art museum, he, like the other contestants, calmly came to the venue.
Xu Hong saw that in this very large venue, some painting tables were now set up. Since it is a Chinese painting, it is not like painting an oil painting, you need a scaffold. To paint a Chinese painting, all you need is a table.
Now, Xu Hong sees that hundreds of tables have been set up in the hall of the art museum. On each table, there is a piece of rice paper. This is for the contestants to draw. On the table, there are also some paint boxes, which are used by everyone to paint.
Xu Hong is now in the hall of the art museum with the other contestants. On these tables in the hall there is a number of the player participating in the competition. After everyone enters the museum, they can take their seats according to the number.
When everyone was seated, they heard the bitter winter begin to speak.
"Students, wait a minute, before the official competition, I just want to say a few words. I'm sure you've heard of who I am. I am a deputy mayor of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee. My name is Severe Winter. This time, the reason why everyone came here again was to hold a 'National Youth Painting Competition'. This is because the last game was not very fair.
First of all, our competition, which is played in China. We are all Chinese. The painting competition we are going to have is, of course, to take Chinese painting as the main creative theme. Even if you don't ask you to draw anything. I think you must be able to draw Chinese paintings. Of course, it is not excluded that some people will paint oil paintings.
But in any case, we just can't stipulate that everyone has to paint oil. Such a provision is unreasonable in itself. The last 'National Youth Painting Competition'. It was an unreasonable competition, so after the leaders of our municipal party committee found out, they canceled the last competition. Now, the 'National Youth Painting Competition' that we are conducting is the most real competition. In this competition, if anyone can win the grand prize, then who is the champion of this competition, no one can deny this.
But the first place in the last competition is useless, if you have the ability, then win another first place in this competition, then none of us have anything to say. If you can't win the first place, it means that there was a problem in the last competition, and I and the comrades of the Municipal Public Security Bureau will conduct an investigation into what happened in the last competition. If it is found that someone is secretly manipulating that game, it is to pursue his legal responsibility.
So, if we want to participate in such a competition, we have to take it seriously. Don't think about it, I'll give some gifts to the judges, and then I can get the first place. I can tell you for sure that in the past, it was possible for you to get this first place through some kind of relationship. That's because the leaders of our municipal party committee have never attached importance to this matter, after all, this is a painting competition, and it is not a particularly important thing.
But now it seems that we can't do anything about it. Because, this thing has been happening for many years in a row. If this continues, will our art career in Beijing become a mess? Aren't all these talents who have entered the art world become indiscriminate talents?
That's why I'm going to do the invigilation in person this time, and I just want to see how well everyone is drawing. Now, when you paint in person, you just don't think about cheating, so that you can reflect the true level of our young painting talents across the country.
Okay, I won't say much else, let's start drawing! It's an hour and a half. I hope you will hurry up and draw. In an hour and a half, we're going to start winding up. When the time comes, whether you paint it or not, our staff will take your picture scroll away.
Okay, I won't say more, let's start drawing now. The timing starts now. An hour and a half, everyone just has to grasp it. If you can't finish the work by then, then no matter how good your previous drawings are, it will be in vain. I hope that you will work hard to paint and complete your painting within the specified time. ”
After the harsh winter was over, everyone began to paint.
Xu Hong stood in front of his painting table, he picked up the brush, dipped it in the black ink cartridge, and began to paint.
For Xu Hong, it can be said that he has a full plan! He has already copied the works he wants to paint several times below. If you draw it now, of course, it will be handy.
In the end, Xu Hong only took an hour to draw his "Ming Chun Tu". After the painting was finished, Xu Hong was not in a hurry to hand in the paper, he just continued to hold the brush and make touches on his paintings.
After all, once the work is finished, it can be further polished. There is no time limit to this editing process, and you can polish for as long as you want. Of course, this is when I usually draw on my own. But now it's time to play, so there's a time limit.
For Xu Hong, it was half an hour. After he finished painting, he spent another half an hour polishing the picture.
In fact, this hour and a half is really a bit short for a painting. To create a work of art, it is a complex mental work, which is not at all a task that can be done in an hour or two.
But now the superiors are stipulating that everyone must complete their works within an hour and a half. Then everyone must complete their works within this time. Otherwise, it would be equivalent to getting zero points directly.
Due to the fact that the time of this game is somewhat short. Everyone is busy painting right now! An hour and a half is really a test for a young painter! You know, these young painters have no experience. A lot of them are college students. If you ask them to finish a painting in an hour and a half, that in itself is a great test of their painting speed.
In this way, in this hour and a half, no one was able to take the initiative to hand in the scroll of the painting. Everyone has been drawing seriously. But even so, during the competition, almost half of the contestants still hadn't finished drawing at all! But when the time came, everyone had to hand in the papers.
Xu Hong also handed over the roll with everyone. It's just that he actually finished painting a long time ago. Later, I just kept polishing it.
After everyone handed in the papers, they sat down in their seats again. Because the following time is for a few judges to start the on-site evaluation.
It can be said that at this time, Yan Dong didn't know who Xu Hong was. Although he listened to Chen Tian. Xu Hong also has to participate in this competition. It's just that he hasn't seen Xu Hong. Naturally, I don't know who Xu Hong is.
However, Yan Dong is also very confident, he knows that Xu Hong is a very talented painter. His paintings themselves can certainly be seen at a glance. After all, the level of Xu Hong's works is much higher than that of ordinary players!
In this way, Yan Dong and several judges evaluated these paintings. In the end, everyone was optimistic about Xu Hong's "Ming Chun Tu". After all, there is no painting that can be compared with Xu Hong's "Ming Chun".
In order to be fair and just. This time, all the contestants' paintings were not signed. That is, they did not put their names on the works. Instead, write your name on the back of this painting.
For the harsh winter, although he is optimistic about Xu Hong's works. But whether Xu Hong can win this first place or not is not important to him. He just wants the fairest game possible.
All of the works that are now being evaluated are works that do not have the author's name named. All the judges are not allowed to look at the names of the contestants behind the works when they are appreciating the works. All judges can only select which work is the best based on the quality of the work itself.
