From the old dean's point of view, most of his energy was devoted to his own artistic creation, and he spent his life creating oil paintings.

His creative trajectory also shows that he is constantly seeking change.

From the hyper-realistic figurative painting method that he became famous for, to the abstract evolution that pursued more and more individuality, although he never reached the highest height he once had.

But this seems to confirm what Wan Changsheng said, when the painting is robbed of part of its function by the photograph.

In the 80s, cameras gradually entered the family, and after the new century, mobile phone lenses became the norm for everyone.

It is at these junctures that realistic works have become difficult to resonate with the audience, and most artists have turned to abstraction, except for a very few top-notch existences.

The more abstract the work, the less the painting skills are needed, but instead become a confinement of exam-oriented education.

The basic skills emphasized in the art examination are becoming more and more unsuitable for the enrollment requirements.

Wan Changsheng is now very sure that within a year, he will strengthen a high school student who has no art foundation and no artistic talent to the level of being able to pass the national joint examination, as long as he polishes these test-taking education as routines, it is nothing more than a matter of practice makes perfect, no talent is required, as long as he is hard and obedient enough, he can do it.

But that's clearly not how artists are cultivated.

Many teachers and professors scoff at art exams, saying that they are exam-oriented education.

But little effort has been made to change it.

Wan Changsheng did it quietly: "I'm just trying, gifted children will definitely stand out in the intensive art examination training, this kind of students I will try to get together, let them focus on the Academy of Fine Arts, and then a large number of other students still use it as a craft, as a means to make a living in the future to learn, and more outstanding talents, the kind of imagination shown among young children, there is no need to cultivate basic skills at all, because when they are admitted to university, I can help them strengthen their exam-oriented education at any time, In the past three years, I have been admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts and the art major, and the next step is to discover talents from younger children. ”

Even if many people scolded him for taking advantage of the loophole in exam-oriented education and engaging in the assembly line cultivation of art examination factories, Wan Changsheng turned a deaf ear.

People who do things don't care about the details.

The old dean thoroughly understood Wan Changsheng's line: "Two years ago, you told me to reduce the cost of the art examination, and you thought about this direction at that time?" ”

Wan Changsheng shook his head: "I am also slowly groping to find the direction, beauty is always what we yearn for and need to promote, use beautiful things to guide the people's aesthetics, this is the responsibility of the artist, on the one hand, for young people to learn art exploration methods, on the other hand, to use works to drive aesthetics, this is the purpose of my participation in the filming, it turns out that the public wants to see beauty, and our artists have not made more, better and more impressive works." ”

This is too different from the attitude of "this audience is not good", "the aesthetics of the common people are scum", and "if you don't understand art, you can't understand my works".

When did artists start to advertise their artistic ideas that ordinary people couldn't understand.

As a result, the vassal and elegant people also followed the praise of not knowing how to pretend to understand, and completely muddied the jar of art.

The old dean nodded slowly: "You can figure out the ins and outs of these things, and find a way forward steadily, of course it's good, so from your heart, who do you think is more suitable for these competing professor leaders." ”

Wan Changsheng was like a cheater who had read the answer in advance, unswervingly: "I don't express any opinions, I'm still a student, and the attitude of students is to focus on learning and creating, last semester because of the movie, I delayed a lot of creation, this semester I have to clean up my mood, after all, no matter how good the idea, it has to be completed step by step, my friends and I still have a lot of work to do, of course, I also know that the leaders of the academy will support our efforts, and everyone will be the same." ”

The old dean smiled: "You, you just know the world but not the world, you don't hide it when you should slip your head, I have been worried that you focus too much on social affairs, delay creation, now it seems that you know in your heart, then I am much more relieved, you are ready to arrange, before the National Day I will attend the inauguration ceremony of the Shumei art auction market, this is my last public appearance in Shumei." ”

Wan Changsheng calculated the time: "Yes, this is also our last important business arrangement this year, you can come forward to cut the ribbon, it must be a lot higher in all aspects." ”

The old dean led by example: "Wan Changsheng, you have artistic talent and creative passion, as well as social responsibility and artistic responsibility, now you have to remember that you are also a Shu beauty, as the old saying goes, if you are poor, you are alone, this is your body, you are still young at the stage of learning, when you drive so many young people around you, you must also drive Shumei, even if you go to the whole country or even the world in the future, don't forget Shumei, I will always pay attention to the development of Shumei, your development, I hope not to live up to my expectations." ”

Wan Changsheng hurriedly said: "Thank you for your teachings to me in the past three years, it may be difficult to hear your guidance in the future, please take care of your body, in order to create better works......"

He thought that was the best way to conclude.

Unexpectedly, the old dean who got up with a smile: "That's not necessarily...... Let's put it this way, the newly established National Academy of Arts, similar to a national research institute, studies the direction of domestic art development, and provides policy reference for relevant ministries and commissions, I used to be the first dean, I hope that in the future you will come to Pingjing, come to visit more doors, talk to me about the situation in Shumei, tell me what achievements you have made with your friends, and what experience you have explored, okay? ”

Seeing that the other party was sixty or seventy years old, Wan Changsheng really thought that the old dean was retired, but it was a pity that he was full of all kinds of affairs and creations during this time, and it was difficult to remember that when Zhao Leilei revealed the news to him, he mentioned that the old dean had another position in Pingjing.

I didn't expect it to be promoted, at least it looks like it.

For such a leader, it is likely to affect the development of art education policy or the direction of literary and artistic development.

Wan Changsheng, a doer who keeps exploring experimental fields, is indeed very easy to be favored!

So I went back and told Chen Cheng that if he wanted to make the art auction market a little higher, he could apply for the funds he needed with Damei.

Damei Training Institution accounts for 60% of the shares in the first large-scale art auction market for art students in China, mainly responsible for funds and venues, Shumei has 30% of the shares in student copyright management, and Chen Taiwei, the owner of the gallery, has 10% of the shares in the auction management resources.

Chen Cheng and Du Wen have discussed merging this market in the name of Da Mei She, this money does not need Wan Changsheng to pay, and Da Mei She's sales of cultural and creative supplies in the past year have accumulated a lot of funds.

However, Wan Changsheng still hopes to truly connect training institutions with art auctions, which is also of far-reaching significance for the development of art candidates in the future.

To put it bluntly, the works created by ordinary art students can be sold at a good price in the market, and even the paintings painted by art candidates can be sold for money.

So that the expensive art consumables can be converted into profits.

Even if a family heirloom temple keeper like him has to learn to improve by selling one seal after another?

Seeing those piles of assignments finally thrown away as waste paper, Wan Changsheng felt a pity.

Not to mention that the sculpture students have been studying for five years, and they don't dare to enlarge what works they do at their own expense.

Not everyone has such strong financial strength and earning ability as him.

For example, you don't have to do anything, Wan Changsheng's fourth art exam sketch textbook this year.

has been crowned as "with a single-handedly exquisite sketch of the movie script, directing "The World Will Not Tear Down" box office sales of 3 billion! Five pages of movie scripts included! gimmick.

It was grandly launched in September.

Will it not sell well?

For a top art examination tutor like him who has been verified and accepted by the market, just collecting Wan Chang's usual classroom guidance model paintings is enough to make up a textbook.

Then the publisher quietly raised his commission this year, after all, Wan Changsheng is more famous!

Compared with two or three years ago, when the gold medal tutor team was profitable, he was pulled into the teaching materials, and now they have to rely on this relationship to maintain the publishing business of Wan Changsheng.

Therefore, the frequency of gold medal tutors coming to class this year is also much higher, but except for Su Qidong and that Teacher Wu, Wan Changsheng doesn't have the energy to make an appointment for dinner alone most of the time.

I can only stand by and watch the income come in an uproar!

As soon as it was listed, it received millions of copyright remuneration!

Because the first three books are also reprinted and on sale, the propaganda is even claimed that if you can connect several textbooks to learn, it is not a dream to win the sketch and get a high score!

Therefore, art candidates often buy in sets, which is two or three hundred.

Millions of art candidates across the country......

This made Du Wen, who had just received a dividend of one million training schools, want to kneel: "It's over, I found that my personality has been completely bought, I really want to say that it's better not to talk about money between us, but this number looks really happy, the publisher and the investor have already begun to confirm the settlement of the August schedule share, as long as the film has not been completely removed from the theater, this commission will always be there, I am a little embarrassed to take it......"

Wan Changsheng asked her to take the money to do things: "Director Xi also told me that the investor also has a reward red envelope for me, and there will be no shortage of other main creators, so we will be responsible for all ordinary crew members, because in my opinion, 50,000,000 hundreds of thousands of dollars for the main creators, their greater gain is this film, with this film, the main and supporting roles can get a good reputation, and the old actors have more reputation, but ordinary crew members are more realistic, and they should be in their early teens. No matter how big or small the position is, 100,000 yuan per person, and the rest of us will be divided, what do you think? ”

Du Wen sighed: "No matter how reluctant I am, I have to pretend not to care at this time, so as not to be looked down upon by you, money...... Once again, it broke my self-esteem. ”

Wan Changsheng didn't dare to ask what happened last time.
