Chapter 149
At noon that day, Yinxiang didn't drive back immediately, he deliberately took Brother Ten to his favorite Thai restaurant, saying that he came to treat him, even if he was to comfort Brother Ten for his hard work during this time.
While Brother Ten went to wash his face, he quietly called Yinzhen and told him about it.
Yin Zhen sighed and said that he expected it.
"Don't come back yet, take it with you for a bite to eat, and then go out for a walk." Yin Zhen said, "When he loses in the first battle, he feels uncomfortable, so you can say something nice and comfort him." ”
Yinxiang said he understood.
The food he ordered was all his favorite food, but Brother Ten couldn't eat it, and his eyes were still red.
Yinxiang didn't force him, after dinner, he drove the car to a nearby park, found a sunny open space, he pulled Brother Ten to sit down on the bench, and in the distance, a group of children were swinging.
Yinxiang said that there are many such games, and there will be opportunities in the future. Prepare for another half a year, and you will definitely win the championship next time.
The tenth elder brother didn't say a word, but he was stunned.
Seeing him like this, Yinxiang smiled bitterly.
"Brother Ten, you can't sink with one blow, in fact, this time, everyone didn't expect you to win the championship in one go. You think, you've been lying on the sofa for more than half a year, and you want to climb to the top after getting up and exercising for a month, even if your foundation is good, it's not realistic, right? What do you think about those who have been studying hard for several years? Call me to say, it's only been a month, and it's already very good to be able to win the fourth place, which shows that your talent is really good, Brother Ten, you are eating your old book. ”
Brother Ten knew in his heart that he had a point, but he was still depressed: "Anyway, I'm unlucky." It's a little bit worse every time......"
"What do you mean by 'every time'?" Yin Xiang was happy, "Isn't this just one time?" ”
"You kid don't talk about cool things!" Brother Ten was also angry, "How can I have your luck!" You can be a big star as soon as you hit the road! ”
"That's what you said, Brother Ten, you're wrong." Yinxiang shook his head and said, "I've experienced a lot more failures than you think. ”
"Another lie!"
"Really." Yinxiang smiled bitterly, "Brother Shi, do you know how many times I was rejected by advertisers before I took over the first advertisement?" ”
"How many times?"
"27 times." Yinxiang said, "There are 20 times in this, and I didn't even get the opportunity to test the camera." ”
Brother Ten was a little surprised: "You didn't mention it to us!" ”
"Why did you mention this?" Yinxiang said with a smile. "To mention it is to complain. It's not going to make you happy, you can't help me, and in the end I'm on my own. ”
Brother Ten stopped talking.
"In fact, people don't give them a chance, and they don't even hear back. That's fine. The most infuriating thing is that a set of steps has gone to the end. Seeing that the contract was about to be signed, he suddenly told me that he was going to change people. That's what makes people want to vomit blood. ”
"Why do you want to change people?"
"The customer is not satisfied." Yinxiang smiled lazily, "I don't think my temperament matches." ”
"Why doesn't your temperament match?!"
Yinxiang smiled even more: "Yes." I'm thinking, what's wrong with me? Where is my temperament not up to your requirements? But people really think I'm not good: too classical, too active, too embarrassing, too handsome......"
"Is it wrong to be too handsome?"
"Not really. If you are too handsome, you will not have enough characteristics, if you are too classical, if you are too active, if you are too old, if you are too old, you will be seventeen or eighteen, and you will be like an apple...... Anyway, if you don't have the appetite of others, people will always blame. You take the trouble to prepare for hours, run over, and they will veto you after two glances. What else can I say at that time? Don't tell you the truth, just last week, a car advertisement that was about to be finalized was yellow at the last moment: the customer suddenly changed his mind and wanted a middle-aged male star, Chen Daoming, Pu Cunxin and the like...... They didn't think I was calm and sophisticated enough to keep up with that model. ”
"!"
"So, if I cry like you like you every time I fail, then my eyes will be blind."
Brother Ten was a little embarrassed.
"I won't talk about these things, the fourth brother and the ninth brother are not smooth sailing, they encounter things that make people angry all the time. But they didn't complain much. Even Julia, didn't she want to go to work at first? Still not going hard? Otherwise, what will we eat and drink? ”
"I can't compare to you." Brother Ten hugged his head and whispered, "I'm worse than all of you." ”
"Nothing like that!" Yinxiang immediately said, "How can Brother Ten say that!" You're better than all of us! Your grandfather is a ...... of Suppilon."
"Come less, could it be that advertisers picked you because your surname is Aixin Jueluo?" Brother Ten said depressedly, "You don't believe in the bloodline theory yourself, and you still use this set to lie to me." ”
Yinxiang is out of line.
"Then, what are you going to do, Brother Ten?"
“…… I don't want to go to class anymore. Brother Ten hung his head and whispered.
Yinxiang was disappointed.
"You're not going because of that, are you?"
"They all looked at me like that today, and I couldn't stand it...... I'm not going. So as not to be ashamed. ”
When he got home in the evening, Brother Ten locked himself in his room and said that he didn't want to eat.
Everyone is in a rut, Brother Jiu said, this kid is too unproductive! Yinzhen said that he couldn't persuade him, and the more he persuaded him, the greater the resistance, let's wait, and when he himself passed this sadness, he might be able to figure it out.
Because of Yinzhen's words, that night, Brother Nine didn't say anything, only touched Brother Ten's brain and sighed.
With this sigh, Brother Ten turned over and hugged him, looking very aggrieved, he choked lightly twice, but did not speak.
Then Brother Jiu said: "Fool, don't feel bad, things are not so smooth sailing." If we don't encounter any obstacles, we can really only go back to be a brother - when a brother is in the end, don't you still have to hit the wall? It's enclosed by a wall, and there is no possibility of change, which is even worse. It's a world where you lose once and never have a chance to turn over, and you have to take your life. Much scarier than it is now. Lao Shi, you should be happy, you escaped from that cell in the Qing Dynasty, there are so many opportunities in front of you, as long as you don't compromise, no one will stop you. ”
It took him a long time before he heard Brother Ten give a low "um".
Everyone thought that this blow was too heavy, and Brother Ten couldn't go out for several days.
But early the next morning, Brother Ten opened the door. He came out of it dressed and dressed up.
Julia came out of the kitchen with porridge. As soon as she saw Brother Ten like this, she was curious: "Where are you going?" ”
Brother Ten lowered his head and whispered, "Go to class." ”
When the rest of the people heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Later, Brother Ten continued to take wrestling classes. However, after that. He's changed a little. He doesn't say things like "how can I have a good foundation and great ability" anymore, and he also knows that others don't exercise less than him. He no longer says things like "I'm worse than all of you, I'm definitely not good", he knows that everyone is working hard, and no one can survive if they are good.
He only said that there was one more tryout at the end of the year, and when the time came, he would try again.
Julia was secretly happy in her heart, and Brother Ten finally cheered up and did not return to the state of the sofa potato again.
Although he just went out to take wrestling classes, but this insignificant social channel has brought a great change to the mental state of the tenth elder brother, he gradually has friends, and he also met in wrestling classes, although he dragged a Qing Dynasty braid, people just started to watch it as a joke, and it is not strange to laugh and laugh.
He even began to draw again, using the colored pencils that Julia had bought for him.
In the evening, Brother Ten is no longer in front of the TV at all times, he puts his spare time on painting, he paints garlic, the nine brothers on the balcony in the painter plant the iris flowers, Yinzhen who reads books and Yinxiang who plays basketball downstairs, and also paints the trees in the distant houses and communities. His brushwork is very unique, and it looks very casual, so he uses a large piece of paper to draw thinly, and he doesn't store it carefully when he finishes painting, and he casually stuffs it into a drawer. The paintings, Yin said, look in the style of Paul Cézanne. Brother Ten laughed when he heard this, he said that he was just painting blindly and didn't learn from anyone.
One day when she came back from work, Julia excitedly told Brother Ten that she had gotten two tickets for the museum.
"Let's go check it out tomorrow! It's a rare opportunity! ”
Brother Ten asked, "Whose painting?" ”
"Salvador Dalí." Julia said, "I knew that Dalí was a painter, and he seemed to be very famous, and I didn't study it. People said that this time it was the original work that was transported to the exhibition, and this kind of opportunity will never be available again. ”
Brother Ten originally habitually wanted to say "I don't want to go", but when he heard "very famous" and "there will be no more in the future", he was a little moved.
In the end, he still nodded: "Okay, go and see." ”
The next day, Brother Ten and Julia went to the art museum.
This exhibition is Dalí's mid-to-late works, a large number of masterpieces, and some of them are on public display for the first time.
Brother Ten was shocked by those works, and he was very surprised: "There are still people who draw like this?!" I was able to draw a picture like this! ”
Julia herself, who was not interested in painting, even felt that Dalí's things looked too strange and a little harsh, and they were not as good as the formal classical art of the early days.
But Brother Ten is very interested in Dali.
After reluctantly walking around with him, Julia suggested going back, as the family was still waiting for them to go for a barbecue, which Julia had promised last time.
Brother Ten sighed: "Okay, go eat barbecue ......"
The two of them took a few steps to the exit, and Brother Shi's footsteps stopped again, and he stared at the painting of Dalí opposite, showing hesitation.
"Otherwise, you should go back first." Brother Ten suddenly said, "I'll stay here and take a look." ”
Julia was surprised, "You're not going to eat barbecue?" ”
Brother Ten was reluctant to stare at the painting, and finally, shook his head: "No, I want to continue looking at the painting." ”
Julia thought to herself, what a breakthrough!
Dali's attraction to the Ten Elder Brothers is even more than the barbecue...... It's incredible!
She had no choice but to leave alone.
In the evening, close to ten o'clock, Brother Ten came back from outside. Yinzhen opened the door for him, and he asked his younger brother, is the art museum only closed now?
Brother Ten shook his head: "The door closed at five o'clock, I walked outside for a while." ”
Yinzhen looked at the clock on the wall and thought to himself, it is really rare for this sofa potato to be able to wander outside for this hour.
As a result, I didn't expect that the next day, Brother Ten went to the art museum again.
This time, he didn't come back until dark.
All in all, Dalí's paintings were exhibited for a total of seven days, during which time the ten elder brothers went to the museum every day.
Everyone was surprised, especially, no one was interested in Dalí, and Yinxiang even felt that those paintings were "strange and uncomfortable to look at", which were obviously not drawn by normal people, and Dalí was probably a psychopath.
"Why is it uncomfortable to look at?" Brother Ten was shocked, "How good he paints!" What a brain! There's so much hidden in there, I can't even see it! ”
Obviously, the Dali that the ten elder brothers saw was different from what they saw.
Shortly after the exhibition, one day, Brother Ten approached Julia and told her that he had a new idea.
"I want to learn how to draw." He said, "Imagine learning decently, enrolling in a class or something." ”
Julia was taken aback: "What about wrestling?" Gave up? ”
"No, the wrestling continues." Brother Ten thought for a while, "The two go hand in hand. Julia, I want to learn Western-style painting techniques, and in the future, I want to paint Dalí's kind of paintings. (To be continued.) )
