When I returned to my room after the interview, my son slept soundly.

He told his wife about the interview.

"When this issue of the pictorial comes out, your fame will be even greater." Lin Wanting said.

"It doesn't matter if I'm famous or not, painting is just a hobby, and even if we don't paint, we won't be short of money."

The next morning I went to the restaurant and asked for two breakfasts.

asked Xiaobao for a small bowl of porridge and a few xiaolongbao.

The participating painters gathered in the restaurant for breakfast.

At this time, Xu Chirui walked in and saw Huang Yuan and several painters who were diligently introducing themselves to the painters who were having breakfast.

Xu Chirui clapped his hands and said loudly: "Fellow painters, I have a happy event to announce, no matter whose work it is, no matter which collector negotiates the price for you, no matter what the price is, I will add 1,000 to the original basis. The award-winning works will be added to 2,000, everyone remember, my name is Xu Chirui, even if you have a painting, even if you look for me, the price I give will definitely be the highest."

When Huang Yuan and the others heard him say this, their whole mood was not good.

This Lao Xu has gone too far, and he even wants them to not receive a single painting in this exhibition.

Huang Jianchun said in frustration, "Aren't we making wedding clothes for him, what's the fun?"

Ma Muhe said angrily, "Since he said so, we will deliberately say that the purchase price is too high, so that he will pay more."

Huang Yuan said: "You are not afraid to trip your feet, in case he deliberately said angry things, we negotiated with the painter for a good price, and in the end he did not take over." Those painters will just say that we don't believe in our words, and then the bad reputation of a few of us will spread, and when we go to the exhibition to collect the paintings, no one will pay attention to us."

Huang Jianchun: "The truth is this truth, alas, what we did yesterday was not right, and our financial resources are indeed inferior to him."

A few people still talked to the painter who was having breakfast about the purchase price.

Xu Chirui took a breakfast and sat at Yin Yuan's table.

"Mr. Xu, why fight with them, isn't it good for everyone to be harmonious and make money?"

Xu Chirui said angrily: "These rotten people are very annoying, they are like this every year, and they blatantly steal business from me when they go there. This is very irritating in itself, and if I want to use this method, then I will fight them and see who can fight whom?"

He said to Yin Yuan, "In the future, if your paintings by Painter Yin are less than 5,000 per square foot, you don't want to make a move, call me at any time, and I will come to collect them."

Yin Yuan's five paintings in this exhibition are all 12 square feet, according to the price he said, the regular price of each painting is also 60,000 yuan, and he has now given an extra 20,000 yuan, which can be regarded as a high price.

After breakfast, everyone headed to the museum.

This time, Yin Yuan learned to be smart, and in the hotel, he took his son to the bathroom *** feces and urine.

As soon as I arrived at the museum, I took him to the bathroom and urinated.

The award ceremony took place in a large conference room of the museum.

Wanting said, "Either I'm still waiting for you outside, I'm afraid that Xiaobao will make trouble inside."

Yin Yuan said, "Let's find a seat by the door, and if he wants to make trouble, take him outside."

Besides, he carried a picture reading card and a few animated books in his bag, and the little guy sometimes didn't make any noise when he flipped through these books.

Seeing that the time was almost up, they entered the conference hall and took a seat at the door.

After taking a look, Wanting whispered to him, "Most of the people here are old painters, their temples are gray, and there are only a few young painters."

Yin Yuan said: "The older you get, the more profound your skills become, and it is difficult to become a famous painter without decades of experience."

Wanting asked him rhetorically, "What about you? Do you have decades of experience?"

Yin Yuan said: "When Xiao Qin interviewed me yesterday, I told him that when I was very young, I liked to scribble everywhere, and I started at the age of five or six, so I have decades of skills."

The old painters in front of him were talking in a low voice, and although the scene was chaotic, he could still hear it clearly.

"I heard that the first prize this time is a call

Yin Yuan's young painter took it, and he was also the first prize winner of the New Talent Art Exhibition in the previous months."

"The Emerging Talent Award is an award set up for newcomers to make their debut, and after winning the award, they will be sent to the Academy of Fine Arts to study for two months. He has just won the New Talent Award, and now he has won the award in this exhibition, this young man has a good level of painting skills."

"Winning this exhibition means that you can participate in the Beijing Art Exhibition in a few months."

"It seems that my province is going to produce a famous painter. Alas, it seems that the old painter Li Xiancai will not be able to survive for a few days, and the painting world in Guangdong Province will rely on Guan Shanjiao alone."

"Painter Li is no longer good, alas, let's wait for a few to visit him in the hospital, shall we?"

At this time, Yu Sunshine and Guan Shanjiao, as well as several leaders of the Artists Association, walked into the venue with serious faces.

There were three young women playing the guzheng on the stage in front.

Yu Sunshine motioned for them to leave.

He spoke into the microphone and said, "We're losing your time, because we just got back from the hospital. Let me tell you an unfortunate news, Comrade Li Xiancai, a master of the painting world in our province, left us at 9 o'clock this morning due to ineffective medical treatment. Mr. Li is a banner of our Guangdong painting circle, and his death is a great loss to the Guangdong Provincial Painting Association. I suggest that he mourn his death for three minutes......

The audience fell silent for a while.

Xiao Bao, who was reading the pictorial, looked at everyone in the hall with wide eyes of surprise, and used his little hand to pick his father's chin.

Yu Sunshine then introduced the situation of this exhibition.

There are 28 painters participating in the exhibition, all of whom participate in the exhibition in the form of group paintings.

The age group of the painters includes the old, middle and young, representing the real level of the painting scene in Guangdong Province.

He introduced Yin Yuan, a young painter, in particular.

He glanced around at the audience and said in surprise, "Hey, Comrade Yin Yuan, why don't you see Comrade Yin Yuan?"

Yin Yuan stood up and stretched out his hand to signal, "I'm here."

Guan Shanjiao and Yu Sunshine finally saw him, and the eyes of the audience were focused on him.

"Well, why did you sit in the last corner, you sit in the front, meet everyone, and introduce yourself."

Yin Yuan said, "I'm taking a child, I'm afraid that he will make trouble and affect everyone."

Wanting took her son from his hand, pushed him and said, "You go and sit in the front, I'll take Xiaobao here."

Yin Yuan saw that everyone was looking at him, so he had no choice but to stand up and walk to the front.

Several old painters present were happy to see him and said, "Since ancient times, heroes have come out of youth, and Painter Yin is so young, he will definitely become a banner in the painting world of Guangdong Province in the future."

One of the middle-aged painters whispered: "I heard that the ancestral home of Painter Yin is from Jiangxi Province, but I don't know if he will return to his ancestral hometown to develop after he becomes famous?"

Another person said, "Mr. Feng is a disciple of Master Fu and a representative of the painting world in Jiangxi Province, so you can't poach our rookie in the painting world in Guangdong Province."

One of them said, "Painter Yin's wife is from Jiangming, and Painter Yin has a company in Jiangming, and his career has developed very well, so he will definitely not abandon Jiangming's career and return to Jiangxi Province." Teacher Feng may not be able to dig the foot of the wall if he wants to......

Painter Feng pursed his lips and said, "It's okay to be magnanimous, they all say that art knows no borders, not to mention that it is all domestic. A few of you invited me to the meeting, and now you are guarding me like a thief, this is your kind of hospitality?"

At this time, Yin Yuan walked to the front and introduced himself to everyone.

There was a TV station filming at the scene, and some reporters were constantly taking pictures.

Then Yu Sunshine announced the list of winners this time.

Yin Yuan's "Miner" group picture got a score of 49,800 from the audience, 5 perfect scores from experts, 50,000 points, a total of 99,800 points, ranking first, and indisputably winning the first prize.

9,800 points more than the second place.

Among them, two people won the second prize and five people won the third prize.

The winner of the award is the work of 10 painters.

Cai Lihua's "The Young Woman at the Farmer's Market" won the third prize, while Li Weihong's "Wood Carver" and Xue Weidong's "Little Alley" both won the prize

Winner's Prize.

The other painters were all old painters, and Yin Yuan was not familiar with them.

This is followed by the presentation of prize money and award certificates.

Yin Yuan's first prize received a prize of 50,000 yuan and a bronzing certificate.

At the same time, the staff handed him five drawings from the exhibition.

The second prize is 30,000 yuan, and the third prize is 10,000 yuan.

Even the winning prize has a prize of 3,000.

It is unexpected, and several novices of Yin Yuan can achieve such results this time.

After the meeting ended, Yin Yuan met Xu Chirui and Hu Kewu at the door, and they each set up a working platform and began to buy the paintings in the hands of the painters one by one.

Hu Kewu's Lingnan Pictorial only needs to obtain the works of first, second and third class painters, and several professional photographers take pictures of the award-winning paintings.

Sign a licensing agreement with the artist and pay the artist for the payment.

This time, Hu Kewu first paid him 5,000 paintings for publication fees, and as for the interview fee, he asked Yin Yuan to keep an account, saying that when Xiao Qin's manuscript came out, he would send the manuscript to Yin Yuan first, and then publish it after there was no objection.

Of course, Yin Yuan has no opinion.

He saw that Xu Chirui was busy. ap.

Other painters showed him their works, and as long as they said the price offered by Huang Yuan's collectors, he did not hesitate to add 1,000 to each piece.

Of course, painters are simple-minded people, and none of them will be opportunistic.

The prices of the same grade are about the same, and even if those do not get the ranking, he collects them at a reserve price of 5,000 per piece.

Xu Chirui arranged for two people to make a special payment, and there were mountains of banknotes piled up on the table, and the scene was spectacular, but fortunately, there were security guards around to maintain order.

Other idlers are not allowed to approach half a step.

Yin Yuan waited in line at the back with a few paintings, and Xu Chirui saw him and pulled him in directly.

"Painter Yin's works are the highlight of the next exhibition, others have to queue up, but you don't."

He took Yin Yuan's five paintings and asked the finance to pay the remaining 200,000 cash to Yin Yuan.

The finance deliberately used a plastic bag to pack the cash and handed it over to Yin Yuan.

With more than 200,000 yuan in cash in his hand, he must be safe only by hurrying back to the hotel.

As soon as he entered the lobby of the hotel, an old man with gray hair followed a few steps behind him and entered the elevator with him.

"Painter Yin, hello, I'm Feng Tianqing, and I'm also a painter, and I went to the award together today, so I recognize you."

Yin Yuan had actually heard the discussion of several of them, and knew that this Feng Tianqing was a proud disciple of Master Fu, and he had a certain reputation in the national painting circle.

"Hello Mr. Feng, I have seen your paintings in the art magazine, and there are many places to learn from you, and I have also seen a lot of Master Fu's paintings."

The elevator goes to the eighth floor, and the participating painters live on the eighth floor.

Feng Tianqing watched Yin Yuan enter room 819.

He said, "Do you care if I talk to you?"

Yin Yuan said, "It is my greatest honor to be able to chat with Teacher Feng and accept your teachings."

In addition to the guest room, the room where they live has a small meeting room where you can drink tea and chat.

Lin Wanting made them tea.

Feng Tianqing said, "I know Xiao Yin, you are from Jiangxi Province, and you are a fellow countryman with me."

"Teacher Feng is from Gan Province?"

"My ancestral home is Gangzhou City, and I now work at the Hongcheng Artists Association. Alas, Xiao Yin's painting skills are so high, why didn't he rise to the top in Yuyang County or Luqi County before?"

Talented people are different wherever they are.

He just couldn't figure it out, with Yin Yuan's painting skills, he should have been a painter when he worked in the Qishan Mine a few years ago.

He sits in the Provincial Artists Association, and he still knows in his heart the young people who have painting talents in his subordinate cities and counties.

But he really hadn't seen Yin Yuan's name before.

Duan Yuan said

"In the past, when I worked as a mining technician in Qishan Mine, even if I had skills in this area, I didn't dare to let the leaders know, otherwise they would be recognized as not doing their job."

In fact, he has also participated in several youth painting exhibitions held in Gangshu City, but he has not won a ranking.

Because then his paintings are still relatively naïve.

It wasn't until he was reborn that he had the experience and skills of his previous life and the following decades, and his painting skills improved by leaps and bounds.

Of course, this is not explained.

Feng Tianqing said, "With your current painting skills, even if you don't come to Guangdong to work, you can mix well. If you are in Jiangxi Province, whether it is in Pingxiang City or Gangzhou City, you can serve as the head of the Artists Association. Even going to Hongdu can be the head of the Artists Association."

He looked at Yin Yuan with interest.

Yin Yuan said seriously: "It is impossible to return to my hometown now, my household registration has been moved to Jiangming, and I am married and have children. Moreover, I opened a decoration company in Jiangming, set up a building materials factory, and a construction company, and the commercial street and paint factory are under steady construction. Actually, painting is just a hobby for me, and I am more comfortable doing business and making money."

Feng Tianqing was surprised: "I didn't expect you to do so much business, in fact, you have this painting skill now, even if you concentrate on painting, your financial situation will not be very bad."

Of course, Yin Yuan knew that what he said was true.

After the five paintings were sold, he received more than 400,000 yuan, and it didn't take him more than a month to really spend.

Is it still that he has not put all his energy into it, and with his current painting skills, will it be difficult to become a millionaire, or even a multimillionaire?

But his goal in this life is definitely not only to make a breakthrough in painting, but also to realize himself in the shopping mall.

Feng Tianqing finally knew that it was completely impossible to persuade him to return to his hometown in Jiangxi Province.
