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

Chapter 179, What do you like about me, a warm scene

"Manager Zhao and the others are going back to Shanghai. We're going to have dinner together tonight. You must come." Wang Zhen instructed Jiang Zhe.

Jiang Zhe agreed to participate and returned to his studio to organize his works.

While he was categorizing his works and finding materials for further creation, he was also considering future creative issues.

It is a good thing that the works can be auctioned. If successful, the price of the works will rise, but it also brings pressure. Can the quantity, quality, and creative direction of the works still be as casual as before?
The doorbell rang and Jiang Zhe guessed that it was Chen Yan who came.

When I opened the door, I saw Chen Yan standing outside.

"come on in."

Chen Yan noticed that Jiang Zhe's mood was a little different, so she asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything good?"

"Wait, I'll tell you a good news." Jiang Zhe closed the door.

Xiao Ka heard the sound and ran over to greet them.

Chen Yan was surprised: "You brought Xiao Ka here."

She picked up Xiaoka and stroked the hair on the back of his neck.

Jiang Zhe waited for a while, locked Xiao Ka in the cage, and said to Chen Yan without turning his head: "Go wash your hands."

"What are you doing?" She watched Jiang Zhe wash his hands and unbutton his clothes, and immediately understood.

Xiao Ka lay in the cage, not quite understanding why he was locked up again, but he had gotten used to it and was not as noisy as before.

Jiang Zhe outputted...

...The clouds have passed and the rain has stopped. Hmm, everything is harmonious...

Chen Yan, who was sweating profusely, pinched Jiang Zhe's arm with her hand: "What's wrong with you today?"

Jiang Zhe talks about the preparations for his work to be auctioned.

Chen Yan was very tired, and her brain was a little slow to react. It took her a while to react. "Really? How many of your works can you shoot?"

Jiang Zhe replied: "I don't know, it's just an attempt."

"Well, you're amazing." Chen Yan closed her eyes: "What do I need you to do?"

Jiang Zhe said: "Nothing will change until the auction results come out."

He didn't want his life to be disrupted by this incident. According to the current system rewards, his annual income could be close to one million. Although it couldn't be compared with successful businessmen, it was enough for his life.

"If you need me to be a model, let me rest for a while." Chen Yan said.

"Go to sleep." Jiang Zhe patted Chen Yan gently, as if coaxing a child: "I don't plan to sell the paintings you modeled for. You can hire another model for the works you plan to sell."

Chen Yan realized her position in Jiang Zhe's heart, so she gave him a reward first, and then suddenly asked, "No, who do you want to draw?"

"Yuan Xiaohan." Jiang Zhe deliberately teased: "Although it was just a verbal agreement. Moreover, the work using her as a model was favored by the auction company."

"No, can't you paint landscapes and still lifes?"

"That's fine. However, a consultant from the auction company came to my studio today to look at my paintings. He had no reaction to the landscapes and still lifes and was only interested in the portraits," Jiang Zhe said.

As he spoke, he recalled his conversations with Manager Zhao and Consultant Liu.

Because the contract was signed, the conversation became more harmonious than before. Jiang Zhe asked about the direction of the development of painting.

Manager Zhao answered directly: "I am more concerned about the market's reaction. Many people who collect modern art only pay attention to the fame of the artist and just follow the crowd as to the quality of the work. There is no problem with the realistic painting you insist on.

Works with superb skills, distinctive personal style, and pleasing to the eye will still be accepted by the market, but of course this also requires operation.”

Jiang Zhe asked another question: "I heard that a dull life cannot produce a good artist. My life is a bit dull." Manager Zhao has another understanding of this: "Everyone's life is not like acting in a movie. There are always setbacks. It depends on how you understand them. In today's society, you can't have the experience of the old artists.

How can you be sure that some things are not the result of operation? "He looked at Jiang Zhe meaningfully: "You also have stories to tell in your experience."

"Hey, what are you thinking about?" Chen Yan interrupted Jiang Zhe's memories.

"Consider what you said."

Seeing Jiang Zhe's expression, Chen Yan felt that she was forcing him. "It's not that I don't want you to draw Yuan Xiaohan, I just don't want you to get close to her."

"Understood. I'll pay attention."

"There are quite a few people in our class who are willing to be models. I'll introduce them to you." Chen Yan took the initiative to suggest.

"Oh——" Jiang Zhe looked at Chen Yan and asked with a smile: "Aren't you afraid of inviting a wolf into the house? If you introduce me to someone who is too ugly, I won't draw him."

"There are no ugly people in the modeling field." Chen Yan clung to Jiang Zhe and said, "Let me ask you a question."

"explain."

"What do you like about me?" Chen Yan stared at Jiang Zhe.

~ Jiang Zhe sighed that he finally heard this particularly classic question.

"You are beautiful and your appearance suits my taste. Well, the size is also suitable." He decided to tell the truth.

"What else? Is there nothing else?" Chen Yan wanted to hear a better answer.

Jiang Zhe said, "It's already very beautiful, what else do you want from a bicycle?"

The well-known skit "Selling Crutches" had already appeared in 01, so Chen Yan could understand what he meant. "Hey, can't you say something else?"

Jiang Zhe was helpless: "Okay, give me three more reasons."

He pretended to be in deep thought and said to Chen Yan who was expecting him, "Beautiful, beautiful, and still beautiful, nothing else."

Chen Yan smiled and pinched Jiang Zhe.

Jiang Zhe hurriedly comforted her: "Take a break. I can't accompany you tonight. I have to go to dinner with Wang Zhen and the others."

Chen Yan stopped playing around when she heard that Jiang Zhe had something to do.

Jiang Zhe stayed with Chen Yan to rest for a while. When she fell asleep, he felt that his strength had recovered, so he quietly got up and walked to the studio.

He looked at the time. There were still more than three hours before the banquet, so it was too late to paint. In order not to waste time, he took out watercolor paper and solid watercolor paint and started to practice coloring.

The content of the practice is what he has recently thought of or seen, not limited to landscapes, still life or figures. Because it is practice, he paints very easily, and even does not use pencils to draft some of the practice, but directly uses watercolor to start depicting.

An hour later, Chen Yan woke up, washed up, and saw Jiang Zhe painting. She let Xiao Ka out and prepared some fruits and snacks for Jiang Zhe. "You should drink less at night. If you don't eat well, come back and have some snacks..."

Jiang Zhe agreed and drew her busy figure. He became more and more certain that he would have the urge to create when facing real people, and the feeling of painting would be different.

While Chen Yan was busy, she noticed Jiang Zhe's movements. She was already used to being a model for Jiang Zhe and didn't feel unnatural at all.

"Take a break." She put the fruit next to Jiang Zhe, called Xiao Ka over, and slowly stroked it.

The afternoon sunshine casts a warm glow on the people and objects in the studio.

Jiang Zhe looked at the scene before him and truly felt what it meant to live a peaceful life.

He used his paintbrush to record the beauty of this moment.
