Chapter 265: Genius
Jiang Chaofan didn't know much about Ye Kuan's personality before, and he didn't feel anything strange about Ye Kuan's sudden awakening and departure.
Seeing that Ye Xue had been staring in the direction that Ye Kuan was driving away, Jiang Chaofan couldn't help but smile and said, "Teacher Ye, your second brother can be regarded as supporting you and standing on our side, so that you will have less resistance at home." β
Ye Xue breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "Thank you, Mr. Jiang." If you hadn't succeeded in gaining my second brother's approval, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been too easy in the future. β
Jiang Chaofan smiled and said, "Teacher Ye, please rest assured, since I, Jiang, have already intervened, I will definitely help others to the end." I'll help you in the future. Now we're still a state-of-the-art museum. If you say you want to do something, you can't just give up halfway, right? β
Ye Xue showed a smile on her rare face and said, "Thank you, Mr. Jiang." β
Then she and Jiang Chaofan walked towards the museum together. Although Ye Xue still felt very strange why the second brother changed so suddenly, it was a good thing overall. She also hopes that this thing is not too bad.
The two security guards at the entrance of the Museum of Calligraphy and Painting watched them go in and did not stop them, but just made a phone call to Director Xu, who was already on vacation.
Xu Hongliang learned that Jiang Chaofan had brought people to visit the museum, and immediately said that he was also coming, and instructed the two security guards at the door to show him. Then he called Zhao Tianming, the current person in charge of the museum, who is now the second deputy director of the museum.
Zhao Tianming is not big in this group of people, and he is only in his early fifties and sits in the position of deputy director, which can be said to have a bright future. He himself is also a genius in oil painting, when the educated youth went to the countryside to plant rice and were busy missing their relatives in their hometown, or going in groups with everyone to live and eat, or getting along with the country girls, Zhao Tianming began to learn how to be alone.
In his years in the countryside, he often used tree branches to paint on dirt roads, at first he scribbled indiscriminately, but later became more and more professional, and began to have the idea of painting people, so he often pulled people to be models for him. At the beginning, everyone felt that the novelty was with Zhao Tianming, but after that, everyone felt more and more boring, and they all rejected Zhao Tianming after standing for several hours.
But Zhao Tianming did not give up.
He said to the student sitting in front of him, who is also his little nephew Zhao Youpeng: "Your conditions are much better now than I was back then, if you want to have models, you want professional books, and there are countless masterpieces for you to copy, not to mention that I am your guide, you can take a lot of detours, you should study harder!" β
"Uncle, I used to spend a meal of rations in order to get someone to model for me, and sometimes even a day's ration. In order to buy those pencils, erasers, paints and so on, starvation is a common thing. You must cherish the convenience brought to you by the prosperity of the motherland now, and you must not continue to be obsessed with those drinking banquets and parties all day long! That will only wear down your will and destroy your talents. β
Zhao Youpeng is the youngest son of Zhao Tianming's elder brother and second wife, and he is only twenty-five years old this year.
In this regard, even Li Li, Sun Tianzheng's proud protΓ©gΓ© and who wants to integrate the essence of Eastern and Western paintings, is inferior to Zhao Youpeng. But the more this is the case, the more Li Li looks down on Zhao Youpeng. Because Zhao Youpeng doesn't love painting at all, he is idle all day long, if it weren't for Zhao Tianming, who is an uncle, who often supervises and spurs him, even if he is a super genius, Zhao Youpeng is estimated to have become a waste wood by now.
For this kind of guy who wastes his talents, Li Li not only looks down on it, but also has a bit of hatred.
Zhao Youpeng sat aside and yawned, his eyes were dark, as if he had deliberately applied a layer of black eyeshadow. He said listlessly: "Uncle, how cheerful and chic life is in the world!" Drinking and singing, wanton flowers, is the life that our young people should have! If you are like Li Li, the guy who doesn't know the amorous style, huddled in this cage all day long, and only knows how to paint and paint, then life is so boring! β
"If I lived like that, I'd rather die!"
After Zhao Youpeng finished speaking, he grabbed the thermos flask beside him. The thermos bottle was not filled with tea, but a liquor that smelled pungent just by smelling it.
When Zhao Tianming saw him like this, he immediately reached out and pressed the thermos flask and said, "You still dare to drink!" That's how you don't take me seriously! β
Zhao Youpeng couldn't help but shrink his neck when he heard this, for his father, Zhao Youpeng was not so respectful to Zhao Tianming. The main reason is that Zhao Tianming is the Bole who discovered and tapped his talents, and he really loves him. Since he was a child, he was born as a stepmother, and his eldest brother who pressed him on top did not give him a lot of face, even his biological father did not maintain him more in this regard, only this uncle has been defending himself since he was a child, and he brought him to the city to teach oil painting when he was fifteen years old, so that he became a cutting-edge and well-known oil painter in the hot summer when he was in his early twenties, and his value soared for a while.
Since then, Zhao Youpeng has also become the object of invitation to the gathering of some vassal and elegant rich people, and since then he has not worried about eating and drinking, nor has he worried about spending money.
Li Li's current situation is naturally similar to him, but the problem is that the two are fundamentally different. Li Li loves painting, so when he became famous, it only fueled his inner arrogance, but he still maintained a momentum of rapid progress in painting and continued to study and improve. But he, Zhao Youpeng, didn't have much interest in painting, and he used to paint just to make this uncle who only loved him proud. He did it in five years.
And his talent is not only with this, in the following five years, Zhao Youpeng basically did not hone hard, but by virtue of his own casualness, casually made a painting to the third place in the international high-level art - the heart of Paris oil painting museum with a history of 300 years, and became a famous oil painter in the Yanxia oil painting industry overseas.
Zhao Youpeng yawned and said, "Uncle, oil painting is too simple for me. I don't have to worry about food or clothing now, I just have to play. You really want me to be trapped in this big cage like that idiot Li Li all day long! Some time ago, you locked me up for three days, I think that's enough, right? β
"Didn't you just go to a drinking party? This time is the art salon held on the top floor of the Hilton Hotel, and it is not a non-trivial party, and I am happy to drink a little wine, what do you have to worry about! β
Zhao Tianming saw that Zhao Youpeng had no repentance, and he was still so listless, and couldn't help but say angrily: "A little drinking can make you sleep from early yesterday morning until noon, or will I personally drag you out of the residence?" I still smell of alcohol!? β
Zhao Youpeng sighed and waved his hand and said, "Uncle, yes, I'm greedy for a cup, I admit it!" In short, oil painting is such a simple thing, don't force me anymore! Big deal, I promise you, every five years I make a masterpiece that ranks in the top five of the heart of Paris! β
"Okay, okay, that's it, finish those chicks...... My head was dizzy from those glasses of wine, if it's okay, uncle, I'll go back to sleep first! Ha, I'm really sleepy! β
Zhao Tianming's angry face turned red and said, "Your ambition is just a masterpiece? You have an extremely outstanding talent, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you are a genius that is difficult to produce in a hundred years! Is your ambition so small? β
"Don't you want to be like Van Gogh and go down in history? A miracle that will never be achieved? β
Zhao Youpeng yawned sleepily, inserted a hand into the long bangs that covered his eyes, and said listlessly: "Although I am very grateful to you, uncle, for taking me on a broad road that changed my life, I really have no interest in painting." Ha, I'm really sleepy, but if you insist so much, uncle, then I'll go to Li Li's place to play for a while. β
"One minute, half an hour, I think he can paint for half an hour! Alas, I really don't understand why that guy spends a lot of life and energy on simple things. I heard that people are so big, and they haven't even touched a girl's little hands, hehehe~ Let me teach him what life is! β
Hearing this, Zhao Tianming's face darkened completely, and he scolded: "Go back to your residence!" Although Li Li's talent is not as good as yours, the place where he can stand in the future is definitely higher than yours! β
When Zhao Tianming said this, he could be said to be heartbroken! How painful it is to have a very high talent and do nothing, and waste it in vain!
"Yes!" As soon as he heard this, Zhao Youpeng immediately strode towards the outside of the museum with a smile!
Just when he walked out of Zhao Tianming's office and planned to go back to the residence to sleep immediately, and then go to the bar to have a good look, he suddenly heard the voice of a woman with a good identity!
"Mr. Jiang is very familiar with these paintings! You can introduce it so clearly, and it seems that you are also very good at drawing, right? Ye Xue said with a smile. After she and Jiang Chaofan came in, Jiang Chaofan introduced her to the paintings in the painting and calligraphy museum, and the words were very exciting. If Ye Xue didn't know that Jiang Chaofan was doing business, she would have doubted whether Jiang Chaofan was the tour guide of the Painting and Calligraphy Museum.
Jiang Chaofan smiled slightly, in his previous life, when he was doing odd jobs, he could meet several groups of tour guides every day, and in a month, as long as he was not an idiot, his ears were calloused, and he could speak very smoothly as soon as he opened his mouth slightly.
He smiled and said, "Teacher Ye praised it, I just introduced it a little." β
Ye Xue looked at Jiang Chaofan and said, "That's also very powerful." I wonder if Mr. Jiang can introduce me to this painting? β
"Beauty, I'd be happy to serve you!" A man suddenly walked over to this direction and said.
