Reborn as a great painter, with a system, you can be willful

Chapter 118: Steady Progress, Opportunity
Jiang Zhe read the review as quickly as possible.

The review was only a few hundred words long, but the meaning was clear. With a condescending attitude and the tone of a veteran, he criticized young artists for seeking awards and advised them to be down-to-earth.

Jiang Zhe's eyes fell on the signature of the composition again - Nocturne. This name was obviously a temporary pen name.

He sneered: "The article is well written, why not call it Yexiang?"

"Calm down!" Wang was really afraid that he was too young to control his emotions.

Jiang Zhe did not lose his temper, but read the commentary twice. The article did not mention his name, but the award Jiang Zhe won was mentioned, which was obviously a hint.

"I have offended someone." He said quietly.

He never thought that someone would use this method to attack him. Names of people appeared in his mind one by one.

Wang Zhen said: "I have sent people to find out who this Nocturne is. If we can find out, we can find a middleman to mediate. If we can't find out, we have to think about how to do public relations and repair our reputation."

"Manager Wang, what do you want to do?" Jiang Zhe asked while thinking of a solution.

Wang Zhen said: "If your name is not called, just pretend you don't know and don't be impulsive. After a while, we can use other things to reduce the impact of this incident."

Jiang Zhe listened and thought about the methods he could use. If he used the same method to fight back, he would fall into a trap of tearing, which might make the enemy even more proud and be seen as a fun show.

As he was thinking of a solution, his anger was gradually dissipated.

He said to Wang Zhen: "Manager Wang, thank you for your reminder. I am sorry for causing you trouble.

Wang Zhen continued, "Don't worry, this matter will also affect my gallery. I will find a middleman to handle this matter."

"It would be best if we could find out who Ye Xiang is?" Jiang Zhe didn't have much hope for this. He was determined not to be fooled.

When he first saw the essay, he did want to use external forces to fight back. However, after careful consideration, he felt that it was not appropriate. Involving more people in this matter would be equivalent to raising the reputation of the other party, regardless of the outcome.

The other party is hiding in the dark and dares not use his real name, so you have to stay calm and not make any mistakes. Let's see who has more patience.

The other party was mocking me for seeking awards. I also participated in a competition, and when the time comes, I will directly slap these people in the face.

Jiang Zhe said goodbye to Wang Zhen.

Wang Zhen didn't expect that Jiang Zhe would adjust his mood so quickly.

She stood up and prepared to see Jiang Zhe off.

"I'll tell you when I have news. The most likely scenario is that this matter will be forgotten."

Jiang Zhe stopped and said, "By the way, do you still have this publication? Can you give me a copy? I'll go back and enjoy it."

"That's all. Take it."

"Thank you."

……

Jiang Zhe returned to the studio and thought again and again whether to ask for help.

Sister Liao called first. "I heard that someone wrote a short essay criticizing you?"

Jiang Zhe said, "This little thing really alarmed you." He briefly described the matter.

Sister Liao was silent for a moment, then responded, "You can still stay calm, that's good. Read that thing to me again."

Jiang Zhe took the publication and read it.

After listening to this, Sister Liao said, “This article seems to be targeting you, but it is written very skillfully and it is difficult to find loopholes.

If you argue or respond, you are acknowledging what he said. You responded well, don't take it personally."

She comforted Jiang Zhe with a few words and ended the call.

……

On the terrace of a townhouse in the BHX area, several men sat around a table chatting.

There were various fruits and snacks on the table, but no one touched them.

A man with long hair put down the publication in his hand and said happily: "Hehe, let's see what you can do?"

The woman to his left said, "If he posts an article here, he will not be able to get rid of the bad reputation no matter how he refutes it."

A very fat man spoke in a muffled voice: "Lao Bian's writing style is getting sharper and sharper. He didn't mention Jiang Zhe's name in the whole article, but he let people who know the situation know that it was about him."

He looked at the man with a goatee next to him. "Old Bian, what should we do next?"

Lao Bian said, "I have no selfish motives. We can just talk about this here, and don't mention it outside, lest people say that the society is not united."

The wide-chinned old car is here too. "They never thought of uniting with us."

The long-haired man said, "Old Bian should write more." As he spoke, he used his hands under the table to interact with the woman next to him.

The fat man answered for Lao Bian: "For this small piece of land, I have already mobilized my connections."

The woman quietly responded to the long-haired man's attack and asked calmly, "Any plans for the future?"

"Not for now. Just let out some anger." Lao Bian twirled his beard and glanced at the woman.

……

Early in the morning, Jiang Zhe unexpectedly saw Sister Liao's car downstairs in the studio.

Sister Liao lowered the car window: "Are you free today? I'll take you to relax."

Jiang Zhe held the car window with his hand and saw that Sister Liao was wearing a sports suit, so he asked, "Don't you have to go to work?"

"asked for leave."

Jiang Zhe asked: "Where are you going?"

"The racecourse. Get some exercise and relax your body and mind."

"wait for me."

Jiang Zhe sent Xiao Ka back to the studio, changed his clothes, and sat in Sister Liao's passenger seat.

Sister Liao started the car.

As the car drove onto a familiar road, Sister Liao asked, "Were you very angry yesterday?" Jiang Zhe said, "When I first saw the publication, I was indeed very angry. But after one night, it seemed to be over."

Sister Liao said, "I'm sorry, I had a meeting until very late yesterday and couldn't come to accompany you."

Jiang Zhe said: "Don't take everything on yourself."

Sister Liao said: "You did the right thing. If you get angry about this kind of thing, the other party will succeed. As long as you stay calm and don't take it seriously, it won't hurt you.

To an intelligent person, this matter means that you have offended someone. Those confused people will follow suit and criticize you. However, you are young, and when you have better results, many people will forget about this matter and start speaking well of you.

By that time, the people who attacked you this time can only watch you grow step by step, but they can do nothing about it. So, as long as you can grow steadily, that will be the best counterattack. "

"Thank you for your advice. I'll give you a reward."

"Don't make trouble!"

Jiang Zhe and his friend came to the sports hall and walked out to the hall from the parking lot.

Jiang Zhe saw that his first equestrian work had been hung on the wall.

The painting's frame is painted silvery-white metallic paint, blending in perfectly with the surroundings.

The decoration and color of the hall also make the picture effect better.

Sister Liao looked at the work and said, "This painting is very suitable for the scene. These people have good taste."

They changed their clothes and went to the stable. On the way, they saw two other works by Jiang Zhe. These works were decorated in different ways and placed in the right place, which was more beautiful than putting them on the easel.

Sister Liao helped Jiang Zhe choose a horse and took him to practice horse riding.

Jiang Zhe sat on the saddle, feeling the rhythm of the horse's movements, slowly adapting to the rhythm, and gradually being able to keep up with Sister Liao.

Seeing that Jiang Zhe could keep up with her, Sister Liao took him onto the track.

Jiang Zhe followed Sister Liao and slowly accelerated.

As the horse ran faster and faster, Jiang Zhe concentrated his attention and felt the power of the horse.

The two ran for several laps in a row. Jiang Zhe became more and more adapted to this sport. Feeling the wind blowing on his face, he felt more and more refreshed.

Sister Liao felt that it was about time and controlled the horse to slow down.

Jiang Zhe followed suit.

When the horses stopped, Sister Liao asked, "How do you feel?"

"happy."

Sister Liao's laughter was as loud as a silver bell. "This is the benefit of exercise. Let's go and take a break."

The two men led the horses to the stable and watched the trainer relax the horses.

Jiang Zhe also tried to help.

Watching the horse rolling around in relaxation, his own mood also became happy.

Sister Liao waited until Jiang Zhe had enough fun before returning to the rest area with him.

Sister Liao hydrated herself and then said to Jiang Zhe, "After your three paintings were hung here, they received a lot of praise. Of course, some people don't like them. No matter what you do, there will always be people who are dissatisfied."

Jiang Zhe said: "Sister Liao, I understand. Thank you for your guidance."

Sister Liao said, "In the future, if you want to come over, just come over and play by yourself. It's good to exercise more."

Jiang Zhe temporarily put the matter aside and returned to his normal life.

The day after returning from the racecourse, Jiang Zhe stood in front of the easel, applying varnish to the still life painting.

In the past, he would take time to learn the classical glazing techniques of oil painting and copy Caravaggio's Basket of Fruit.

From the beginning of the draft, shading and coloring - shaping the sketch Guanxi. Continue shading and coloring until now.

After Jiang Zhe finished a step, he had to wait for the surface to dry before continuing. Although the process was intermittent and the creation time was long, he had a complete experience of the creation process of the shading technique.

He used the system to test and found that the grade of this copied work was an excellent work.

Although the first painting using the shading technique did not reach the level of a masterpiece, Jiang Zhe was very satisfied to have experienced it once.

……

Time passes day by day.

At the train station, Jiang Zhe saw off two high school classmates with whom he had a good relationship.

The two students plan to go to university early to adapt.

One student was accompanied by his parents, and the other went to school by train by himself.

Jiang Zhe saw his classmate who was in a hurry looking out the window and understood what he was thinking.

When I first received the admission letter, I was very excited and longed for a free life without control. But when it was time to leave home, I was reluctant to leave.

Jiang Zhe understood this emotion. He had experienced it too.

While having dinner, he told his parents that he was going to see his classmates off.

Xu Li said: "Children want to break away from their parents' management and try to make their own decisions. But it's really too far away from home, and it's hard to feel homesick. Fortunately, you stay in Binhai. You can take the bus from our house to your school, and you only need to change buses once in the middle."

She also planned to go with Jiang Zhe when he reported to school.

……

Wang Zhen sat listlessly in the office, browsing the newspaper. The last incident had dealt her a heavy blow.

She had already found out who that person was, but she had not figured out the power behind that person, so she could only stop her activities temporarily and did not tell Jiang Zhe the news.

"Mr. Wang, good news!" The assistant knocked on the door of Wang Zhen's office.
