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

Chapter 284: Director Jin is frustrated, group painting, activities

While Jiang Zhe was revising the manuscript, one of his expected models, President Jin, just walked out of the car and walked into a four-story manor house under the guidance of a servant.

From the moment she got off the car until she walked into the hall, she looked straight ahead and behaved in a dignified manner, but some details of the mansion had already caught her attention.

This house has a strong British style. The courtyard is elegant, the interior hall is spacious and bright, and various valuable artworks can be seen everywhere.

In Hong Kong, where every inch of land is valuable, the population density is high, and there are many rich people, there is such a mansion, which shows the strength of the owner.

Mr. Jin waited in the living room for a while, and then a bald middle-aged man in a shirt came over.

"Mr. Jin, welcome."

Director Jin said, "Butler Fan, is Mr. Pan home? I have an appointment with Mr. Pan."

Butler Fan's smiling expression remained unchanged. "Mr. Jin, I didn't know you had an appointment with your husband. Please wait a moment, I'll make the call."

He said to the waiter next to him, "Take good care of Mr. Jin." Then he said to Mr. Jin, "If you need anything, you can tell our waiter directly."

After the housekeeper left, Director Jin stroked her skirt and slowly sat down on the sofa, looking very elegant.

She didn't look around, and took the time to think about what she was going to say. After a few minutes, Butler Pan slowly walked back.

Mr. Jin stood up with a smile and waited for a reply.

The housekeeper said to Mr. Jin, "Mr. Jin, I'm very sorry that Mr. Pan can't come back today. He asked me to convey his apologies to you. I'm very sorry."

Mr. Jin's expression froze, but he quickly recovered: "It's okay, I'll visit you another time."

I arrived at the appointed time but failed to meet the real person, so I had no choice but to say goodbye and leave.

"Please wait a moment." The housekeeper temporarily detained Mr. Jin and asked two staff members to carry an oil painting.

When Mr. Jin saw this painting, his expression looked unnatural.

This painting is an oil painting of the God of Love, which she created with Qian Zhibin as the model.

The work was meant to be appreciated by the target alone, and now, being scrutinized by so many people, she felt a little embarrassed.

The housekeeper didn't care about Mr. Jin's change. "Mr. Pan ordered that you take this painting back."

Mr. Jin said, "This is just a small gift. There's no point in taking it back."

The housekeeper said, "Mr. Pan likes calligraphy and painting, but he doesn't want to mix it with other things. Please take it back." After that, he told the staff to send the painting to Mr. Jin's car.

The gift was returned.

Mr. Jin tried hard to control his emotions and said goodbye and left.

The car drove out of the mansion's courtyard, and Mr. Jin, who was sitting in the back seat, finally stopped hiding his emotions.

It is already a humiliation to have one's work returned.

Not only that, she saw a work by Jiang Zhe in the mansion. This painting was sold at a high price at the Times Auction.

This is a double injury.

However, Mr. Jin couldn't think of a way to deal with it.

On Saturday, Jiang Zhe copied Raphael's masterpiece in the studio.

Since I have already promised Gu Qian to attend the event tomorrow morning, I must make up for the time.

There are already several sketches on the easel, all of which are copies of the Virgin Mary's head by Jiang Zhe.

In order to grasp the shape accurately, he found several sketches of Raphael and copied them repeatedly.

Among these copied works, there was only one that made him feel relatively satisfied.

Jiang Zhe repeatedly compared the difference between the copy and the original, especially the look in the eyes of the Virgin Mary. There are several different legends about this unforgettable portrait of the Virgin Mary, and one of them is the most widely circulated.

The painter Raphael accidentally saw a woman holding a baby, who looked like his sweetheart, Fornarena. The woman's eyes made the painter fascinated. He was full of passion, but he didn't have the right tools, so he quickly painted the passionate and beautiful woman on the bottom of a wooden barrel.

Jiang Zhe could not judge whether the legend was true or not, but he had some understanding of the beauty expressed in the painting.

Raphael attached great importance to the discovery of beauty in life and the pursuit of the creation of ideal beauty, so his works often have a dignified, beautiful and noble temperament.

Jiang Zhe stopped drawing after finishing the sketch. He still needed to study Raphael's painting steps and techniques, and would not rush to draw the final draft until he was sure of it.

After lunch, he began to work on his group painting.

Last night, he had finished revising the sketch and all the modeling issues had been resolved.

In the studio, six canvases with oil painting bases have been prepared.

During the revision process, Jiang Zhe streamlined the number and content of the group paintings, and arranged the six works in chronological order, namely sunrise, morning, labor, lunch break, market, and sunset.

The contents of the six works are different. The early morning and dusk paintings are mainly landscapes, with figures as embellishments. The other works are mainly figures.

The most lively painting in the series depicts a market scene in a mountain village.

In addition to the main characters, this painting also has minor characters.

There are two women arguing in the background. Jiang Zhe drew the two women to look like Jin Dong and his friends.

There were two idle men who were eyeing the quarreling women. They looked like Vice President Qi and a certain director.

These minor characters are difficult to attract the viewer's attention, so it is difficult to discover the secrets, let alone think about who they resemble. If this painting can be passed down to future generations, perhaps someone will study it and perhaps discover this past event.

Although Jiang Zhe made some lifelike and dramatic treatments in the painting, the theme of the painting did not change.

He did not depict poverty, but rather the theme of an ancient mountain village undergoing changes and regaining vitality.

Jiang Zhe worked until late at night and completed the draft and preliminary depiction of the series of paintings on the oil canvas.

On Sunday, Jiang Zhe arrived outside the community at the agreed time and saw Gu Qian's golf car parked on the side of the road.

Gu Qian rolled down the car window and waved at herself.

Jiang Zhe came to the car and asked: "Should I sit in the passenger seat or in the back?"

Gu Qian said: "It's not safe to sit in the passenger seat."

Jiang Zhe sat in the back seat and said, "Thank you for the trip."

Gu Qian started the car and said, "Since you are giving me face, I will pick you up when you want to attend the association's activities in the future. How about that?"

"You are now a director of the association. I dare not trouble you like this."

"No problem. You held the scene for me." Gu Qian stared at the road ahead. "I'll go back and tell my colleagues that you're going to attend the event. Many people asked me how I could convince you to attend."

"What did you say?" Jiang Zhe looked out the window and asked in a relaxed tone.

"I dare not tell the truth. I only said that I begged you desperately to complete the task. Even so, there are still people who suspect that I used some tricks?"

Jiang Zhe said, "Then let them doubt. In the future, if others come to ask me for help, it won't work. Only if you come, it will work. What do you think?"

"If that's the case, my colleagues will be jealous of me." Gu Qian said with a smile.

"Let them talk." Jiang Zhe asked, "What do you need me to do for this activity?"

“Take photos on stage, listen to reports and socialize with members off stage.”
