The National Oil Painting Competition, held in T City, adopted a new competition system, in which applicants could submit a single work in the previous painting competition, and the jury selected the outstanding works one by one, and then selected the winners from these works.

In previous competitions, there were many examples of plagiarism or ghostwriting by others, so this time the Oil Painting Association decided to adopt a new method in an innovative and bold way, that is, the contestants first submitted the first draft, and the paintings of the people who passed the audition were directly announced to the public, and then the re-examination and the third round of selection were conducted.

At this time, the contestants had already handed in three works. Whether it's a proud work that has been created before, or a new painting created temporarily for the competition, the strength is already obvious. Painters who can come up with three works that are stable at a high level and do not lose their own style are rare at this point.

Cen Man is among them.

As a result, Huang Lao and she didn't expect that although Cen Man's talent was good, his proficiency in skills was still inferior to those professional players. I thought it would be good to pass the audition and win an encouragement award, the best newcomer award, etc., but when they received the final selection notice, they both gasped.

In the past two years, the Oil Painting Association has added many young painters, so it is inevitable that there will be a lot of fresh ideas. This time, the final is a setting similar to a reality show. Contestants are required to introduce their finalist works to the public before the judges judge, explain the concept of painting, and canvass for votes through TV and webcast. After the contestants finished their canvassing speeches, the judges commented and scored them one by one, and finally selected the champion.

"It's nonsense!" Huang Lao was so angry that his white beard shook and trembled, what has become of dignified artistic creation, is it a grandstanding prop? Regardless of whether you can explain the work quietly in the case of live broadcast, just squeezing in front of a camera with someone you don't know can give people a lot of psychological pressure. This is a drawing, this is clearly a draft.

Huang Lao resolutely did not allow Cen Man to participate in the finals, Cen Man herself also retreated, without him, she couldn't speak, how to interact with the audience watching the live broadcast to canvass for votes, and explain the professional content of painting in sign language, no one could understand it.

Cen Man was a little helpless and disappointed, he had already come here, but he had to give up.

Cen Man's every move was specially collected and reported to Huo Li by Lang Jun, this rule started three years ago, at first to prevent the Cen family from having another moth, but recently, it has become Huo Li's new fun.

After listening to Lang Jun's report, Huo Li tapped the table with his index finger and quietly thought about something.

In his opinion, this matter is not a problem at all, you can ask for a sign language interpreter, the difficulty is only that what you want to find must be a person with artistic attainments, who can accurately understand what Cen Man wants to express, and this requirement, without long-term experience in painting translation and the accumulation of artistic accomplishment is an impossible task, but, he is Huo Li, there is no word impossible in the dictionary.

Lang Jun asked tentatively, "Then I'll go find a translator now?" ”

"Well, you go find it first, the price doesn't matter, as long as it meets the requirements, I can afford the high price, but don't let Cen Man know." Lang Jun should leave the office.

Huo Li thought proudly about how surprised Cen Man was when he found out that he had helped her so much, no, he wanted to embarrass her for a while, and then when he asked him for help, he would descend from the sky. Imagining the woman looking at him with adoration, Huo Li looked satisfied.

Cen Man, who had no idea, was ready to give up, but he didn't know that Ji Shenyan had found Huang Lao.

Knowing Master's temper very well, Ji Shenyan went straight to the point and said that he hoped to see Cen Man participate in the finals. When Huang Lao saw the disciple he hadn't seen for a long time, he didn't have time to say hello, so he was angry enough. asked Ji Shenyan what kind of intention he had to encourage Cen Man to participate in the competition, if it was despicable selfishness, let alone let him nod in agreement, even Ji Shenyan, an apprentice, he would sweep the floor out.

Ji Shenyan's expression looked a little haggard, he lit a cigarette, took a puff silently, and then said to Huang Lao: "Yes, I can't deny it, I have selfish intentions for Cen Man, but it is by no means what you think, Master, I am not the kind of person who despicably wants to meddle in other people's marriages, and Cen Man is not that kind of person." Master, I just want her to stand on the stage and prove to others that she, me, and others like us are not defeated by physical disabilities, and that we can live a wonderful life all the same. ”

"Isn't this also your original intention to start a painting class for deaf and dumb children, and this is a good opportunity to promote them to the public. The gimmick of the show is just a gimmick, but our sincerity is true, and I believe that the general public will accept Cen Man, just as you accepted us at the beginning. ”

Ji Shenyan's heartfelt words touched Huang Lao, and he let out a long sigh, if Ji Shenyan hadn't been disabled because of his fingers, would he have given up business and engaged in painting, but the disability of his fingers did not make his painting skills suffer any defects, otherwise he would not have accepted such a non-professional disciple under pressure.

That's it, the young people in the world are already outdated, if they can really bring the social impact that Ji Shenyan said, it can be regarded as accumulating virtue in this life.

Cen Man told Huo Li about the finals, and he deliberately asked her tentatively if she wanted to continue the game, and Cen Man unexpectedly showed an expression of embarrassment as he imagined. Huo Li was secretly proud in his heart, but he said to her lightly that she should go.

Cen Man was very surprised, she originally thought that Huo Li would stop her from showing up, if she went to the finals, then her identity would be exposed, and when others knew that she was the young grandmother of the Huo Group, it would be a scandal for the Huo family. Mrs. Huo couldn't spare her in the first place.

Huo Li seemed to see through her thoughts, and said unashamedly that as long as she was still a member of the Huo family, even if she was disabled, no one would dare to look down on her. Maybe her actions can still impress Mrs. Huo and give free publicity to the Huo Group.

This reason sounds full of loopholes, but it is enough to deceive Cen Man. She was a little moved, Huo Li made a phone call to the organizing committee of the competition while the iron was hot, and came down to the competition for Cen Manying.

After that, Huo Li deliberately said to Cen Man that although she agreed to the competition, she had to be ready, and there were many difficulties ahead. Cen Man didn't understand his hints, but what she thought about was if she was on the show, what method would she use to introduce her work, slides or display boards?

has already explained that Lang Jun and the organizers of the TV station and the online platform embarrassed Cen Man in a timely manner, Huo Li waited for Cen Man to come back to complain calmly, so as to show his thoughtfulness.

Cen Man, along with the other finalists, went to the TV station for a rehearsal of the process. The chief director is a middle-aged woman in her forties who looks a little picky. She looked up and down at these artists who were not yet famous, and when it was Cen Man's turn, her eyes lingered on her face for a few more moments.

Strange to say, since receiving the task of the final night of the oil painting competition, three groups of people have found her, with different purposes. She was told that Cen Man was the young lady of the Huo Group, and because of the opposition of her family, she hoped that she could create some difficulties during the recording of the show, but she also had to take into account her identity and not go too far.

The other group of people came from the sponsor Ji's Group, and the other party said that Mrs. Huo Shao was the personal friend of President Ji's and hoped that she would take care of her to the greatest extent, especially Cen Man, if she put forward her own needs for the competition, she must agree and help.

The request of the last group of people is very clear, that is, let her try her best to make her ugly in the game, it doesn't matter what means, even if the show is smashed, the other party can not only provide a large amount of money to compensate her for her losses, but also promise to let her rise in the TV station.

The female director quietly calculated in her heart, those people thought that she would obey when she saw some benefits, but they didn't know that she was famous for the entire TV station, otherwise she wouldn't be in front of the scene when she was old. No matter who this Cen Man is, when she arrives here, she is just one of the contestants, an ordinary participant, and she will not pay attention to the messy relationship behind her.

Nervously followed the staff to familiarize himself with the script of the program, and practiced moving in the studio. Although Cen Man was mentally prepared, he still ushered in a wave of side eyes. Most of the editors of the program group are people who are in a hurry, and almost every request is to hurriedly say it to Cen Man and run away. When they found out that she didn't meet their requirements, they couldn't help but shout at her.

Cen Man was at a loss for a moment, and wanted to explain, and the action of taking out a pen and paper made everyone stunned. Only then did everyone suddenly realize that this young female painter was a mute. For a while, all kinds of eyes fell on Cen Man.

Some of the painters who participated in the competition were gloating, some were sympathetic, the people in the program team were talking to each other, the director's eyes were obscure, Cen Man was in the center of the focus, and he was hanging there, looking particularly pitiful.

knew that once his disability was known by others, he would inevitably bear a lot of criticism, but Cen Man calmed down. She wrote down what she wanted to say and handed it to the editor in front of her, who sighed, scratched her head, and turned her eyes to the director for help.

Time is urgent, if this can't be communicated, does the program team have to rearrange it, does the organizing committee of the competition know the situation of the contestants, and what should I do during the live broadcast? Although there is such a topic, there must be a breaking point in the ratings, but in case of improper operation, he can't take responsibility.

The female director stared at Cen Man's pale face, this young woman has an elegant temperament, and others may have been frightened by these gazes, but after the initial panic, she cooperated very actively. However, the competition and the show are no joke, and if Cen Man can't solve the communication problem, she doesn't mind being a villain.
