Chapter 231: Beauty Trick (2)
This time, Liu Ming didn't dare to say anything about asking Xu Hong for painting, he felt that if he said so, Xu Hong would be angry, and his previous efforts would be in vain.
So Liu Ming thought, let's take it slowly! The most important thing between people is feelings, as long as there are feelings, then everything is easy to do!
In this way, after Xu Hong, Liu Ming and Lao Wang drank together. And they went back to their homes.
After Xu Hong came back, he didn't take it to heart. However, I won't paint for you people, you used to look down on me so much, but now that you heard that the TV station is going to hold an art exhibition for me, you think that my paintings can appreciate in value, so you want to collect my paintings, so there is such a good thing! If you want to look up to me, you will come to me, and if you don't want to look up to me, you want to teach me a lesson. Now, I'm going to make you regret it!
Xu Hong now wants to create an oil painting at his own art exhibition, and the content is to paint a beautiful woman. And he's going to name her "Mona Lisa." This was of course inspired by Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa.
Although "Mona Lisa" is a world-famous painting, Xu Hong does not like the "Mona Lisa" in "Mona Lisa", he feels that the "Mona Lisa" is not beautiful at all.
Maybe he is an Oriental, his aesthetic habits are still biased towards Oriental women, and he still doesn't dare to compliment the beauty of Western women!
Xu Hong wants to paint a "Mona Lisa", but he doesn't want to paint Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa", then it is a little difficult.
Because Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" is also said to have been created by the painter based on a woman living next to him. Other words. The 'Mona Lisa' in this Mona Lisa is a real-life person. Leonardo da Vinci used her as a 'model' to create this world-famous painting.
Xu Hong knows. I want to paint this world-famous painting. It will definitely be appreciated by many professionals. Although there is no Leonardo da Vinci in this parallel world, there is no world famous painting "Mona Lisa".
But such a world-famous painting, where is the real artistic level! No matter if you put it in that parallel space, it is a 'world famous painting'!
Xu Hong thought that he would also create a "Mona Lisa". But not the original Mona Lisa. He wants to recreate the "Mona Lisa", and he must make her conform to the aesthetic habits of Oriental people!
But how can you create such a 'world famous painting' again? That's also a certain amount of difficulty. Because Leonardo da Vinci created such a world-famous painting based on a woman in real life as a model.
And if Xu Hong wants to create such a world-famous painting, then he has to find a woman who is similar to the "Mona Lisa" in "Mona Lisa"!
But the key problem is that the 'Mona Lisa' in "Mona Lisa" is a Westerner. And this parallel space where Xu Hong was reborn is an oriental country. It's the same as the eastern country where he lived before his death.
Now it's time to find a woman in this Eastern country who is like the woman in the Mona Lisa. But it's a bit difficult. After all, there is still a big difference between the body of Eastern and Western women, one has blue eyes with a high nose bridge, and the other has black eyes with a low nose bridge. There is also a tall and short woman, and it is really difficult to find a woman with a long elephant between these two 'races'!
But in any case, it is possible for people in the East and the West to look the same! Because the appearance of man is also a wonderful thing. Even if the facial features are not very different, there will be the same place in the charm!
Before, Xu Hong also saw a piece of news on the Internet, saying that he was an oriental man. It looks very similar to a president of a Western country who is still in office! There are photos on the Internet, and it really looks very similar.
Although one has a high nose bridge and blue eyes. One is a low nose bridge and black eyes, but it looks a little similar!
"Well, yes, as long as I pay attention, I should be able to find a woman who looks like the Mona Lisa. ”
Xu Hong read the news, and he began to have confidence.
Confidence is there, but how can he find such a woman who looks like the "Mona Lisa", he still has no one to do! After all, Xu Hong can't search all the young women in the country! He can only look for it in his own life circle!
But there are not many women in Xu Hong's life circle. Although there are also a few women who prefer him. Like the writer Wen Sisi, as well as the female reporter Wang Wei, and the small section chief of the Cultural Bureau, Xu Shiyun.
These three women still have some feelings for Xu Hong! They are also more beautiful than the other.
But what's the use of being beautiful, in them, Xu Hong can't see a shadow of 'Mona Lisa'!
Especially Wen Sisi, Xu Hong had previously created Master Xu Beihong's famous work "Portrait of Jenny" based on her image.
That's because Xu Hong feels that Wen Sisi and Jenny in "Jenny Has a Portrait" really look a little similar, so she created such a famous painting!
But now Xu Hong wants to create "Mona Lisa". There is a big difference between such a Western beauty and Wen Sisi, an Oriental beauty!
Although Xu Hong felt that the two were very different, he still put Wen Sisi's photos and the pictures of "Mona Lisa" together, compared and studied, just to see some similarities between the two, and then Xu Hong could create a world famous painting based on Wen Sisi's image!
Anyway, the woman Xu Hong likes is Wen Sisi! He always hopes that he can get more inspiration from this woman!
But this time, the woman who had inspired him before did not give him any more inspiration, how did he look at it, the beautiful Wen Sisi and the beautiful 'Mona Lisa' are very different. There is no verve in common between the two.
He also compared Wang Wei's photo with Xu Shiyun's photo. Although they are all beautiful women, they really have no resemblance to the 'Mona Lisa', and they can't even see anything in their eyes.
"Hey. How can I find such a woman who resembles the 'Mona Lisa'!" Xu Hong fell into distress for a moment. I don't know how to complete this oil painting of my own! ――
Besides, Liu Ming and Lao Wang and Xu Hong had dinner and drank wine. The two returned home. These days are busy with work, and they don't talk about Xu Hong anymore. I thought it would be good to be a good friend with Xu Hong.
As for the matter of asking for paintings, that's all I have to do now. I can't provoke Xu Hong anymore, otherwise, I won't even be able to be a friend!
However, just when Liu Ming wanted to give up, he received a phone call.
"Hey, is it Principal Liu?"
"I am, are you Tang Ming!"
When Liu Ming heard that it was Tang Minglai's call, he knew. It must be because of Xu Hong's matter! Now Liu Ming has no way to complete what Tang Ming said, and he is embarrassed to call people back.
"Principal Liu, how is the thing I asked you to do? Have you asked for a painting from Xu Hong?" Tang Ming asked Liu Ming a little anxiously.
"Tang Ming, this is not easy to do! I am not friends with Xu Hong. I heard that he was very busy preparing for the art exhibition! He didn't agree to paint me at all! I also went to give him a gift, and he accepted it, just saying that he wanted him to paint me privately. That will be a few months away!"
Liu Ming had no choice but to tell the truth.
"That's right! A few months later, Xu Hong will already be a master painter, and his value will definitely skyrocket! At that time, if we ask him for a painting again, the price will definitely be ridiculously high! At that time, there will be no point in asking him to paint again!"
Tang Ming is a collector, and he knows very well that to collect the works of a young painter, it must be before he becomes famous. Especially if you know that he may soon become famous, and then collect his works, then you have a great chance of making money!
If you collect his works after he has already become famous, then although it is possible to make money, the room for profit is much smaller!
"Wait, Boss Tang, that's the case, you give me a few more days, let me think of a way!
As soon as Liu Ming heard Tang Ming's words, he was a little unwilling again. I think that I have already spent a lot of money on Xu Hong, if I give up like this, then my previous investment in Xu Hong will be wasted!
"Okay, I'll give you another week, if you can't ask Xu Hong for a painting, then I'm sorry, I'm going to cooperate with someone else." I also know a beautiful writer, his name is Wen Sisi, I think, you know that! She and Xu Hong are also very good 'friends'! Maybe, I can get Xu Hong's works through her! When the time comes, don't regret it!"
Tang Ming knew that if he didn't put some pressure on Liu Ming, he wouldn't get Xu Hong's works soon. So he began to bluff in front of Liu Ming!
Because, it is true that he Tang Ming knows Wen Sisi, but his relationship with others can only be said to be hostile! It is not a friend relationship at all, and Wen Sisi will not do things for someone like him!
However, for Liu Ming, he didn't know about all this. He only knew that Wen Sisi was a great writer, and if she really asked Xu Hong for Tang Ming to paint, the possibility of success was very high.
"Boss Tang, then you can give me another week! I'll think of a way, if it really doesn't work, you can cooperate with others again!" Liu Ming didn't want to give up like this, he asked Tang Ming to give him another week.
"Okay, that's it, you can do it yourself! In just a week, if you can't get Xu Hong's work for me again, I won't cooperate with you. Because, I have already received a news that the TV station will hold a super art exhibition for Xu Hong on September 1st of this month!
This is because we hold a 'National Arts Festival' in September every year. When the time comes, artists from all over the country will present their works at the festival!
The TV station also wants to take advantage of this 'National Art Festival' to push Xu Hong's young and promising paintings into the national art market, so that his works will become the highlight of this art festival!
And today is the 18th of August! There are only more than ten days until the end of the month, and I don't have the patience to wait for you to keep consuming. If you don't get Xu Hong's works before the 'National Art Festival,' then if you wait until Xu Hong holds a super art exhibition, I'm afraid it will be too late! When the time comes, Xu Hong is the most famous painter in Tiannan City, and that person's worth will also double, and then you will collect Xu Hong's works, but it will not be something that a salaryman like you can afford.
Okay, that's all I have to say, you can do it yourself! I'll give you another week, if you still can't ask for Xu Hong's paintings, then you won't be thinking about getting rich in the future. ”
Tang Ming finished speaking, and then left the phone.
Liu Ming was left listening to the ticking sound in the microphone, and he felt a little nervous in his heart.
"Hey, what can I do! A chance to make a fortune, but why can't I catch it! How can I get two paintings from Xu Hong!"
Tang Ming was very unwilling, but he didn't know how to do it. If he asks Xu Hong directly for a painting now, he will definitely be rejected by Xu Hong.
At that time, not only will the painting not be brought, but the friendship he and Xu Hong have just established will not be able to be saved, and the money he spent on Xu Hong before will be in vain.
If he doesn't want to get rich now, and keeps maintaining friendship with Xu Hong, then if Xu Hong succeeds in the future, even if his worth skyrockets, he may paint a work for himself! At that time, it is possible to sell it to himself at a price! Anyway, is he his friend?
But the key is, when will this be? And the huge benefits in front of us are in front of us! If we give up like this, it is really unwilling!
Liu Ming put the phone away and sat at the desk, holding his head in both hands, not knowing what to do for a while.
On the one hand, he wants to temporarily give up his dream of making a fortune, and then maintain a good friendship with Xu Hong, and talk about collecting Xu Hong's works later. (To be continued.) )
