Back in the room, Long Yifeng took out the newspaper he had just bought at the newsstand and flipped through it, wanting to see the information and news of the capital of Beiping.

He bought the Beiping Evening News, and except for some major news, most of them reported on local affairs. Long Yifeng found a report related to himself on the second page, which contained his brief introduction and some of his works, which were no more than the size of a palm.

Long Yifeng thought to himself, Mr. Liu, they are quite good at hype.

The next morning, Long Yifeng and Xiao Yi came to the gallery after breakfast at the hotel. The staff had already arrived, and because it was still early, there were not many spectators at the scene. He already knew yesterday that the official start time was ten o'clock, and he basically didn't need to be too busy in the morning, most of them were Mr. Liu and Mr. Chen receiving some friends, and sometimes introducing Long Yifeng to friends.

Everyone saw that Long Yifeng was so young, if it wasn't for Mr. Liu's strong recommendation, they might not believe that the work they loved was actually made by the teenager in front of them.

According to the agenda of the exhibition, Long Yifeng's main job is to participate in some on-site interactions, such as the painter's signature, on-site painting and addition. Anyway, he was not familiar with it, so he simply listened to Xiao Yi and the staff's arrangements, and sometimes took the time to walk around and listen to the evaluation of his works by the people who watched the paintings.

According to Mr. Liu's idea, he wanted to make a profile of Long Yifeng and attach Long Yifeng's resume and photo to it. Long Yifeng was reluctant to provide a photo, so he drew a self-portrait at random and simply wrote some resumes on it (he didn't have any complicated ones, he was just a child.) Hehehe).

However, when he entered the store, he saw that in addition to his self-portrait, he added a lot of experience and titles to the introduction, such as "well-known painter of ethnic minorities", "member of the Miao Culture Research Association", "famous folk painter", etc., he didn't know when he got these titles.

Xiao Yi told him that it was also part of the painter's packaging. Besides, many of Long Yifeng's works do reflect the life and culture of ethnic minorities, especially the Miao people, and they deserve this title.

Long Yifeng walked around the exhibition hall, looking at his framed works, and it felt a little different from admiring it at home. In particular, when I hear some audience comments, or see the audience take a photo in front of a certain work, I feel a sense of satisfaction in being recognized.

Suddenly, he heard a voice not far away and said softly, "Grandpa, look at this one, don't you think it's anything special?"

Long Yifeng turned his head to see a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl holding a white-bearded old man, and they were discussing softly in front of one of his works.

The old man seemed intent on testing the girl: "Oh? What do you think is the difference?"

The girl tilted her head and said, "I can't tell you what the difference is." However, I think that compared with what we saw earlier, most of the previous works have a kind of high-spirited, happy and vengeful momentum, giving people a positive feeling. And this one gives me the feeling of being calm and relaxed, as if I am living alone in an outdoor paradise, living a comfortable life, and having a feeling of satisfaction with the current life. ”

"Hehe, is it? Do you think this work is better, or is it better than any other work?" the old man still smiled and whispered to the girl.

"I think these works are very good, but I like this one a lot. Looking at it, it is like a wanderer returning to his hometown, enjoying the beautiful scenery and leisure time of his home with peace of mind. Of course, the other works are light-hearted and uplifting, just like young people of our age. ”

"Don't you like to be young?"

"Grandpa, of course I like to be young and inspirational. But I'm young now, I have all those characteristics, and what I don't have is the calmness and leisurely feeling of the work in front of me. ”

The old man seemed to be very relieved and happy, and said to the girl with a smile: "In a city as big as Beiping, if a child of your age pursues calmness and leisure, the country is not hopeless? Isn't it? ”

"That's not either, Grandpa. You see, although this work has a kind of calmness and leisure, in connection with the picture itself, it is still a metaphor for a positive mentality, just like a farmer waiting for the fruits of autumn after working in spring and summer, and there is an essential difference between spending time tastelessly. ”

The old man glanced at the girl appreciatively, and said with a smile, "Yes, girl! I think you really understand the author's mind behind this work." ”

Long Yifeng, who was next to him, couldn't help but smile and expressed his admiration for the humanistic quality of this city.

He himself knew that the work the two were discussing was exactly what he painted during the summer vacation of the high school entrance examination, and the picture was set against the background of Chaotian Mountain and Yumatang. Long Yifeng clearly remembers that his mentality when painting is indeed similar to what the girl said. It was afternoon, and I was sitting in the study of the stilted building, with all the windows open outside, looking at everything around me, and feeling it.

He never expected that the young girl would actually see the artistic conception of her painting at that time, and it was estimated that her own level was not low. I was about to step forward to communicate with the two, when I saw Mr. Liu striding towards this side, and he was still greeting on the side:

"Oh, Mr. Li, hello! I didn't expect you to be free to come to our gallery today, I missed the welcome, I was sluggish, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. ”

The old man stretched out his hand and said to Mr. Liu with a smile: "Mr. Liu is polite, the weather is good today, take my granddaughter to walk around the nearby gallery, I saw that there are a lot of people here, and I knew that it was an art exhibition when I got to the door, so I came in to study and study." ”

Mr. Liu was flattered and shook the old man's hand and said, "You haven't been here for a few days, today's exhibition is a good work of a young painter, we think he has great potential, so we especially recommend it to new and old friends." However, I'm afraid that you will be busy, so I didn't invite you, I'm really sorry. I've recently saved some things, I'll ask you to take a look at them later, and if there's anything you can see, just take them. ”

Long Yifeng guessed that the old man who was called Mr. Li by Mr. Liu should be Mr. Liu's old customer, and it seems that his status is still high, so Mr. Liu is so polite.

The old man was enthusiastic in the face of Mr. Liu, and seemed to have become accustomed to nature, he smiled and said, "Don't be so polite." However, if there are good things, it can also open the old man's eyes. Indeed, the quality of your work in today's exhibition is not bad. The works you exhibited today are all small painters, can you tell us about them?"

When the two of them came in, they didn't pay serious attention to the author's profile.

Mr. Liu looked around and found Long Yifeng not far away, so he invited him over and pulled him and said: "Yifeng, I would like to introduce to you this is the famous and respected Li Lao in the current painting world, his works are collected by calligraphy and painting lovers across the country, and many works are auctioned at auctions. Li Lao, this is Long Yifengsheng, a young Miao painter from Qiandong in southwest China. Yifeng, you have to ask Li Lao Duoduo for advice. ”

Mr. Liu admires Long Yifeng very much, and thinks that he is easy to get along with, humble, and will definitely have a future in the future. Therefore, when he saw a master of painting like Li Lao, he spared no effort to recommend him and asked him to ask Li Lao for advice. He understood that if Long Yifeng could be appreciated and recommended by Li Lao, and give a little guidance in calligraphy and painting, the price of his works would also be greatly improved.

Of course, most importantly, his gallery will also bring more lucrative returns.

Seeing that Li Lao stretched out his hand and was about to shake hands with him, Long Yifeng hurriedly stretched out his hands, held Li Lao's hand, bowed to Li Lao, and said, "Hello Li Lao." I saw you and your works on TV before, but I didn't expect to be lucky enough to meet you today. Thanks to Mr. Liu, help me hold a small art exhibition, and please give me advice. ”

Seeing that Long Yifeng was young, talented but rare to be so humble, and knew how to respect the elderly, Li Lao felt happy in his heart. Li Lao has always cherished talents, and a polite and talented young man like Long Yifeng is naturally willing to help.

He said to Long Yifeng: "Xiaolong, don't be presumptuous, your works are very good, you can't talk about advice, it's okay for everyone to communicate with each other, or, can you lead the way and help us introduce it?"

As a country boy who has become a self-study talent, Long Yifeng is naturally deeply honored to be able to receive the guidance and affirmation of his predecessors in the art world. More importantly, he learned from his publications and on television about Li Lao and his works, and this Li Lao is indeed a figure of both virtue and art among the surviving masters of Chinese painting. Long Yifeng has studied some of his works, and deeply feels that his painting skills are profound, and his works are majestic and natural, which has a great influence on Long Yifeng.

Now that I can meet real people and communicate face-to-face, I don't know how lucky I am. If you can get his guidance, your experience and skills will definitely improve greatly.

So, he hurriedly took Mr. Li, his granddaughter, and Mr. Liu to the gallery, and continued to introduce some of his works, as well as his thoughts and ideas for creation. Sometimes, Mr. Li also made some comments on the painting itself, and shared some of his thoughts and experiences of painting with Long Yifeng.

The four of them exchanged views while appreciating the paintings, which benefited Long Yifeng, the so-called "non-academic" cutting-edge painter in Mr. Liu's mouth.
