Chapter 150: Moving
Tree buds sprout here, and their own mysterious magic is nurtured in them.
Between light and darkness, between the galaxy and the sea of sand, there is a light mist flowing in it, like air and water, like hazy starlight.
The painting knife falls,
The earth is forever, and the magnificent colors converge into a lifelike lonely prince.
Gu Weijing sighed softly.
"Well, it still feels ...... Something missing. ”
It's a real pleasure to create something like this.
Without a doubt, this is the most outstanding work that Gu Weijing has ever painted.
The fly in the ointment is that
The bud that sprouted did not bear fruit after all, and the little prince in the picture did not really come to life.
This is a painting that meets 99% of Gu Weijing's expectations, outstanding and complete to the extreme, but it has not broken through.
He had reached the limits of his current emotions and had failed to take the next seminal step.
It's still not shocking and moving enough.
Just like in the ancient Greek Esoteric legend, Hermes, the alchemy god on the sacred mountain of Olympus, used Mithril as the raw material and the holy fire on the Apollo Sun Carriage as a furnace to refine a living alchemy puppet.
After nine consecutive days and nights, the puppet had a heartbeat, a breath, and even a gentle flutter of eyelashes.
But before Athena took off the olive crown on her head and threw herself into the flames, giving the doll a little soul aura, she still couldn't really wake up.
The picture comes to life,
What is lacking is only the last bit of aura that awakens the characters.
This is also illustrated by the prompts in the system panel.
[Title: "The Little Prince on the Dune at Night"]
[Painting Technique: Knife Painting: Legendary]
[Emotion: Feeling in the heart (Perfection)]
It seems that the system is trying to remind Gu Weijing, even if it is also the rating of [Heart Feeling], this painting still has essential progress and difference from Gu Weijing's previous works.
Behind the heartfelt evaluation, there is an extra line of golden annotation representing "completeness".
"Complete, this is like a consolation prize given to a student who only took the second place in the exam, which can be regarded as a bit of a gain."
Gu Weijing was helpless.
"This painting should already be the ultimate in emotional evaluation, if there is something missing, it is probably ...... It's not enough to work hard. ”
He shook his head.
This attempt at a new way of painting gave him a faint glimpse of the path to the next stage of the emotional table.
Move yourself first, then move others.
Whether you are a low-level painter who is unknown and unrecognized, or you have made a name for yourself at the official salons of Paris and become the grandmaster of painting who is the guest of honor in the royal family of Europe, the creation of works of art always follows an immutable law.
Let's talk about impressing yourself first, and then talk about impressing the audience.
Whether it is a person, a building, or even if the painter is just painting the simplest weather, only if the painter's own work can it shock the audience.
The emotions that ordinary people see in the infinite scenery of famous artists in their works are unimaginable.
This is not only true of Mr. Van Gogh, who painted oil paintings and cut off his ears.
Monet also once wrote in a letter to a friend,
In order to depict the dusk of Paris, he brewed the emotions of creating the sunset landscape, stood by the river and pondered the burning clouds in the sky, until he had symptoms of delusional mental illness.
"These fiery clouds pressed down on me like burning blankets, and my whole body burned like fire, and I had to jump into the icy waters of the Seine to quench the burning pain in my body."
If you ask what is the emotion of heartache.
Probably this kind of passion that is not crazy and does not survive is the so-called painstaking blood.
Cao Lao relied on the precipitation of half a life, witnessed the ups and downs of the world, and the unity of spirit and spirit, which can achieve such an outstanding effect in the "Buddha Protector Map".
Gu Weijing is not Mr. Sloth,
He is far less sensitive to literature than paintings, and when he reads "The Little Prince", he still lacks this feeling that really moves and shocks him.
If you really want to talk about it, you will work hard.
In fact, Mr. Sloth deserves this title more than himself, he is really a good agent.
In the world's big galleries like Gagosian, there are many well-connected and knowledgeable agents.
An agent who is willing to be a little transparent for a painting like Gu Weijing, who reads every day and works hard to create better works for him.
When he meets one, it is his luck and blessing.
Gu Weijing reminisced about the feeling he felt when he painted just now, and he didn't get too entangled, so he scanned the painting into an electronic version.
That's it.
This painting is already very good, Gu Weijing's understanding of "The Little Prince" is so much, and it is thanks to the help of Mr. Sloth to be able to paint like this.
Even better than Carroll's "Old Church", the systematic evaluation is slightly higher.
The impressionist works of the master female painter were not satisfactorily commented on after being emotionally evaluated.
The road is right in front of you.
If he wants to really paint a work that he has worked hard for, he still needs to wait for the next opportunity.
……
"Why is it so late today, I have to be late for school. Gu Weijing, did you secretly stay up late last night to play games! The middle-aged woman coughed unhappily.
"Your sister has a better sense of time than you!" Auntie slammed the iron on the table.
It's breakfast time,
Gu Weijing's family gathered in the courtyard for breakfast.
Because there are a lot of Chinese, on the embankment in front of Gu's Book Gallery, there are shops selling soy milk fritters and other Chinese-style breakfasts.
Every day, after Gu Weijing's morning run, after buying newspapers, he would buy a drawer of steamed buns and carry a thermos bucket of soy milk home as a family's breakfast.
After eating, the family should open their doors and go to school.
However, Gu Weijing ran home a little late today, and the whole person seemed a little unenergetic.
Last night, while sleeping,
Gu Weijing is still immersed in the feelings brought by the creation of illustrations, constantly reminiscing about the feeling of layers of emotions blending with each other.
As a result, he didn't sleep well and came back late from buying breakfast.
My aunt was looking at her watch and complaining.
Gu Lin beside him just crossed his feet, sat at the dining table, glanced up at Gu Weijing, and then continued to lower his head and play with his mobile phone.
Cousin Gu Lin has indeed always had a more time concept than Gu Weijing.
Since three years ago,
My cousin thinks that "teenage girls who have reached puberty need enough time to get a good night's sleep." After the cancelled morning run, she just needs to get up and eat breakfast.
If she was still late, she could only say that her alarm clock was too set and she overslept.
"Uh-oh, okay."
Gu Weijing was not angry, but casually responded, and took the Dulwich school uniform jacket and tie that his aunt had ironed with a steam iron in the morning from the hanger.
He had long been accustomed to his aunt's chatter.
Middle-aged women are like this, after all, their cousin is a piece of meat that fell from someone's body, and it is normal for a mother to be eccentric.
The aunt is not necessarily bad, but she is a little greedy for money.
Gu Weijing's biggest happiness now is that he has done a very good job of keeping his identity as a detective cat confidential.
With his aunt's character, if he knew that he had just had tens of thousands of dollars more in his account, and then he hadn't covered it yet, he would have donated it again.
If you have to make a fuss, you have to tear down the roof.
Even if Gu Tongxiang, the old man who has always liked him, his grandson must be happy to make money, but it is estimated that he can't accept such a large donation.
He is not yet an adult to live on his own, and legally speaking, the guardian of this personal income has the right to supervision.
Auntie is willing to talk about it, so let her talk about it.
quarrel with the elders, tear your face and have to fight for right and wrong, even if the truth is here, what can you do? In the end, it's not my grandfather who is really hard to do.
I'm about to go to college, and I've lived under the same roof for so many years, and it's not bad for a few months.
Gu Weijing listened to the magic sound of middle-aged women, and adopted an attitude of entering the left ear and leaving the right ear.
As he wore his tie, he immersed himself in his own world, wondering how he could lift that last veil and really push his emotions to a deeper level.
He didn't think long after,
The contemplation was interrupted by the voice of the noisy cousin Gu Lin asking for money.
"Mom, if you want money in school, I'll take 150,000 kyats from your wallet."
"150,000 kyats?"
The aunt frowned and glanced at her daughter, who was digging her purse in the coat on her hanger.
"Are you going to cram school?"
"There are students in the school who want to send a team, and they have chartered a party villa by the Yangon River, and each person only needs to pay 150,000 kyats for drinks to enter, and that's it."
Gu Lin said lightly, "It's very cheap, almost everyone will go." You ask your brother if I lied. ”
Gu Weijing glanced at his phone when he heard this.
He seemed to have seen a lot of people in the grade group last night discussing the party.
I was so busy painting that I didn't look closely.
At this time, I flipped through the history, and sure enough, I saw a related message.
Year 13 - Miao Aung Win: [After school on Friday, I will charter a party, the seaside holiday village north of Yangon Bridge, everyone is welcome to play. (B.. B – US$75 or MMK150,000)]
"Someone wants to party?"
Gu Weijing was not surprised by this news, there are often rich brothers in the school who like to have all kinds of parties.
As a classic part of Western-style campus life, party culture is also embedded in many aspects of Dulwich College International.
There are musical parties, Halloween drag parties, and sorority balls on Rose Valentine's Day in May, which are also part of party life in the broad sense.
What is B.. B,
It is an abbreviation for a Western form of party, taking the initials of "Bring Your Own Beer", which can be simply translated as bringing your own drink.
This type of party is often used at various student parties or luncheons at large companies.
Food and music will be prepared, and party goers will only need to bring their own beer, juice and other drinks.
The rich children in European and American schools have big parties, and almost all of them are B.. B.
Only in Myanmar, there is a slight change of local nature. You don't need to bring your own drinks, you only need to pay a separate drink (beer) fee.
It's not that the organizers can't afford to serve alcohol, it's mainly to avoid trouble.
Southeast Asia has a serious drug problem, but the consumption of alcoholic beverages by minors is severely restricted by law.
Myanmar is loose,
The Thai minors next door drink alcohol and go to the juvenile prison cell, and even in the once popular Thai dramas such as "Siamese Love" in East Asia, all TV footage about drinking has to be mosaic.
In Myanmar, no one may care about drinking at home, and the organizers of such group parties provide alcoholic beverages, which are easy to be investigated by the police.
More risky, Yangon is more prone to drugs.
Some of the unlearned and unskilled campuses are bad, and they spend more time playing than you can imagine.
Even Dulwich, which has strict school discipline, every once in a while, there will be news that someone has been found to have taken drugs on campus and then expelled.
If someone puts psychedelics in a drink and is reported and found out, who is it?
The party was halfway open, and the owner of the party went straight in.
Therefore, now the young masters and daughters in international schools will entrust special commercial party service providers to hold a party and hold a birthday party.
The contractor is responsible for providing the venue, music and other entertainment facilities, as well as fruit juice drinks.
Then specialize in outsourcing a small group of people to sell drinks and beer.
You handed in B.. B's fee, the wine in the venue is equivalent to your own private purchase, avoiding legal risks.
The cost is generally related to the level of the party, and the beachfront holiday village in Yangon Bridge North is a series of well-furnished water-view villas.
Purpose-built for the party.
There's an infinity pool, water slides, a professional DJ, and even a professional resident singer and bikini dancer to act as an ambience group if you want.
Even if Jerry is a top rich second generation of Dulwich and sends a team to a banquet, it will be at this level. And he will only invite the small circle of his own basketball team and the beautiful girls in the school cheerleading team.
Like this guy, he sent out invitations to nearly 100 students from the art class and the regular class together...... It's like a little emperor.
It's a lot of money to charter this kind of venue.
The entrance fee of $75 is really just a formulaic formality, which is the cost of two Munich draft beers.
really
With this bombshell news, the class group will fry the pot as soon as the word is spoken.
【Miao Angwen...... I appreciate your sense of humor, but it's not April Fool's Day yet, is it? 】
【Yangon Bridge North, Seaside Holiday Village?】 It's really fake, this is old nose money. Miao, have you sold your house? 】
[It's boring to want to be in the limelight, to think of going crazy, to make up this kind of story. 】
In Gu Weijing's memory, this Miao Angwen was a black and thin little brother in the class.
The painting grades are very good, but the family background in the environment of Dulwich can only be regarded as shabby.
is at the bottom of the campus almost completely with his original self, and even often mixes with some wealthy children from wealthy families in the school, running errands for others, ghostwriting homework to make money.
In a pyramid-shaped social structure like Yangon, the pocket money of a rich man may be higher than that of an ordinary family like Gu Weijing.
It's a pity that Miao is not a beauty, and she can't be a fishing girl with two legs and a lot of money.
In the chain of contempt of school classmates, he has always been in a very downstream role.
He wants to have a party?
Or is it somewhere like a seaside holiday village?
