"Si Li." Zhao Bai'an followed them to Teacher Fang's personal office, and the door slammed shut.

What catches your eye is a certificate hanging on the wall facing the door - the 32nd "Aisonli" Award, the Lifetime Achievement Award "Love", signed by Fang Zhihua.

Wow, isn't that one of the best awards in the art world! It's like the Grammys of the film industry and the Pulitzer of the press! One Eisonley plus the Lifetime Achievement Award, there are even fewer contemporary artists with such an honor.

Zhao Bai'an, who loves art, knows a lot about this award, and she once had the privilege of going to see an exhibition of "Ai Songli". The grand prize is not a thin piece of paper, but what looks like glass... No, crystal-textured trophies. The surface is smooth, and the inside is frosted and full of art.

Sure enough, Esonli is not ordinary!

Besides, this competition is only held once in three years, I didn't expect this teacher Fang to be so powerful at such a young age!

In addition to this crystal award certificate inlaid on the wall, there are also many trophies on the bookshelf next to the table in the room, and it seems that this teacher Fang has won many other art awards.

"Oops, you're still too reserved." Teacher Fang walked behind the desk and sat on the leather-faced teaching chair, Si Li held the drawing board, bit her lower lip, and stood by the door with her head down, "Come on, sit here." Teacher Fang pointed to a small wooden stool in front of the table.

After Si Li sat down, Teacher Fang crossed Erlang's legs, which was very different from the appearance in the classroom. He beckoned to Si Li and said, "Hey, why are you still holding that broken painting!" Didn't I tell you that it doesn't work at all, and I want to redraw it! ”

Teacher Fang shook his hand impatiently, "Come on, come on, you give it to me." He beckoned to Sili again.

Si Li was still curled up on a wooden bench.

"I'll let you give it to me!" Teacher Fang's voice suddenly increased and shouted at Si Li, "Give it to me!" ”

Si Li shook violently, let go of the hand holding the drawing board, hesitated for a moment, and finally handed the drawing board to Teacher Fang's outstretched hand.

"Eh~ this is good. Isn't it? Teacher Fang's tone finally softened again.

Teacher Fang turned over the drawing board and glanced at the oil painting in his hand, and Zhao Bai'an was able to get a glimpse of it.

A girl wearing Ayton's school uniform stood under the peach blossom tree, the breeze drifted by, and pieces of white and pink peach blossoms fell, falling on the girl's hair, shoulders, and bag...... Although it seems that the whole painting has not been sketched in detail, the scenery is already moving and realistic. The girl in the painting faces the viewer and smiles.

It's just that this smile ......

It feels very fake, very reluctant. The originally beautiful picture looked extremely inconsistent against the backdrop of this smile.

The entire painting was scribbled haphazardly with a black marker, and the upper half of the girl's face was completely erased, leaving only a reluctant smile.

After watching it for a long time, cold sweat even oozed from the back.

It's really not a good painting. No matter how vividly the surrounding scenery is painted, a slight discrepancy can make the whole beautiful atmosphere collapse in an instant.

"It's such a garbage work, why do you care so much about it?" With a snap, Mr. Fang threw the drawing board into the trash can on the table, "Are you reluctant?" I'll give it up for you! ”

"I said, Si Li, why don't I seem to be useless with you?" Teacher Fang sighed lightly, as if he was very helpless.

"How many times have you said it, how important is this game? Why do you seem to be on the sidelines? You're going to show me this..."Teacher Fang excitedly pointed to the trash can to search for words, "Just show me this kind of garbage thing?!" ”

And the only thing that responded to him was Si Li's silence.

"What do you think? Speak! ”

"Speak!"

"I... You... Didn't you, you say you want youth and beauty? Sly struggled to open her mouth, her voice so soft that she could barely hear it with bated breath.

"Yes!" Teacher Fang nodded vigorously, as if realizing that he had gone too far, "I have indeed emphasized the need to show youth and behave beautifully. ”

"After all, you yourself know that all the paintings you gave me before were not up to standard. Demons, black, it's too gloomy. I won't get this award! ”

"Yes, I know you've tried. I've seen it all, but Si Li ......" Teacher Fang walked up to Si Li, leaning against the table, her arms outstretched, "But it's not enough!" Not hard enough! You're going to have to work harder! You know? ”

Si Li just lowered her head, clasped her hands crossed, and rubbed her right thumb back and forth on the tiger's mouth of her left hand.

"Oh yes, I happened to meet that friend of mine when I went to a charity gala on the top floor of the World Financial Center last week, you know, the professor from the Academy of Fine Arts that you really like."

Hearing this, Si Li finally had a reaction, stopped rubbing her two hands against each other, and raised her head to look at Teacher Fang.

As if he had achieved his goal, Teacher Fang nodded slightly to Si Li, and a smile squeezed up the corners of his mouth, "I mentioned you to her." ”

"I praised you fiercely, he said that there is a gap this year, and he is ready to recruit students."

Si Li's head was raised a little higher.

"He seems to be interested in you, how about I mention it to him a few more times if I have the chance?"

Si Li's eyes began to glow.

"It's just that if you draw like this now, I can't praise you too hard, can I? First of all, I have to be satisfied before I can tell the truth to others, right? You say yes, right? ”

"Otherwise, my own students are not actually as good as I say they are, and I am losing face? I can't say anything that goes against my will. Isn't it, Silie? You're not going to ask me so much, are you? ”

Si Li lowered her head again.

"Besides, Sili." Teacher Fang leaned closer, pressed into Si Li's ear and continued, "Think about your parents again, think about how much they expect of you. Can you have this level today, doesn't it all depend on my Bole plus my three years of careful cultivation? ”

"How disappointed they will be if you fail to meet their expectations! Isn't it, Sili? Are you worthy of their heart and so many years of nurturing? ”

"Two daughters, both on Ayton. Your parents are also only small businesses, you know that you both go to this high school and they are under a lot of financial pressure, right? They don't come to parent-teacher conferences, but you know they're all busy earning tuition, right? Wanting to give both of you a better life. ”

Sly's lips pursed even tighter.

"But, they talk to me on the phone all the time. Every time they hear me compliment you, they are so happy. Si Li's lips trembled, and her eyes visibly wavered, "You think, you don't want them to know that you're not acting as well as I say, right?" You don't want them down, do you? ”

"Yes." Si Li finally gave a slight response, and her voice was not as ethereal as before.

"So, you know how important it is, right? This time Aisonli. ”

Yes! So is it Aisonli's turn again this year?

"So, stop drawing such rigid garbage works. You and I both know that your level is more than that, you are great! I'm sure you'll be able to paint something that satisfies me and makes me as amazing as I was when I first met you three years ago. ”

"I know that I've been under a lot of pressure lately, after all, I'm in my third year of high school and I'm going to go on to higher education. I'm also not right, I didn't think from your point of view, I may have been too demanding of you, pushing you too hard. But I'm doing this for your good! ”

"So, when it came time to paint the next piece, we were running out of time. Don't let me down again, okay? ”

Si Li nodded slowly but forcefully.

Teacher Fang smiled with satisfaction, patted Si Li's shoulder, and left the office.
