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

Chapter 338, Finalists, Changes in People's Attitudes, New Opportunities
The scene of the art museum seminar.

Jiang Zhe adjusted his sitting position. When several students spoke one after another, he heard the game prompt that the honor value was increasing.

Because the reminder sound kept ringing, he quietly turned it off.

Many people knew that according to the procedure, the seminar was about to end and the students around them had already started talking quietly.

However, the dean's words successfully attracted everyone's attention.

The eyes of people on and off the stage were directed towards the dean of the Academy of Fine Arts.

He was very good at adjusting the atmosphere. After laying the groundwork, he paused for a while, waiting until everyone's appetite was whetted before he said, "I have good news to report to the leaders, teachers and students. Our college has organized teachers and students to participate in the portrait painting competition held in the United States three times, but there has been no breakthrough.

This year, we organized the competition for the fourth time and finally achieved a historic breakthrough.

I just received the news yesterday that the works submitted by our school were shortlisted in the preliminary selection. After repeated confirmation, a total of six teachers and students were shortlisted. "

This news made many people stunned for a moment.

The senior members of the Art Academy took the lead in applauding.

The others immediately followed suit and there was warm applause.

The applause stopped.

"I would like to thank the college leaders for their support, and also thank the teachers and students for their hard work. This is the reason for this historic breakthrough."

Jiang Zhe applauded again along with everyone else, and at the same time, wondered if he was among them.

He also remembered that Teacher Hu once said that the college attached great importance to this competition, but did not hold high hopes. There had never been very good results before. Now that six people's works have been shortlisted, it is a great honor for the college.

Moreover, the time when the dean announced the news was very well chosen.

The head of the Art Academy had just taken office, and this achievement came at a time when work performance was needed.

Jiang Zhe looked towards the stage.

The dean was indeed smiling happily. Some people around him seemed to be offering congratulations, and he nodded frequently.

Administrators from several other colleges had mixed reactions.

While congratulating my boss, I was also thinking about my own affairs.

This honor for the Academy of Fine Arts comes at the right time. Although the professional directions of various colleges are different, they are all under the jurisdiction of the Academy of Fine Arts and are in competition with each other.

Now that the Academy of Fine Arts has achieved results in international competitions, we must also achieve corresponding results, otherwise we will be outdone. To sit in this position, you must fight for it whether you are willing or not.

Amidst applause, the dean of the Academy of Fine Arts handed a document to the chief dean.

The two men pushed each other away, and the dean walked to the front of the stage.

He cleared his throat, waited for everyone to quiet down, and then said, "Today, colleagues, teachers and students from the Academy of Fine Arts have not only brought us wonderful works, but also given us a surprise. Before the important festival, they have produced a beautiful result. Commissioned by the teachers of the Academy of Fine Arts, I am here to announce the results of the finalists."

He looked down at the manuscript.

Although I already knew about this before coming here, I was still very happy when I saw the information.

This is the first achievement I can show off since taking office.

The teachers and students in the audience, especially those who participated in the competition, all had expectations in their hearts. They all hoped that they could win something in the competition, but because there were many activities in the school recently, they temporarily forgot about it.

Now, suddenly I heard that some people were shortlisted, and there were six of them. Many people were looking forward to seeing that they were among them.

Jiang Zhe is no exception. Although he has won awards before, who would complain about having too many honors like this?

"Congratulations to Ms. Zhang Yudi from the Oil Painting Department." The dean read out a name and warm applause broke out in the audience.

A female teacher sitting in the front row was stunned for a moment, with a look of disbelief on her face. After being reminded by the people next to her, she stood up and expressed her gratitude to everyone on and off the stage.

The teacher is in his 30s. Although he is an adult, he had not received any prior news and was still a little overwhelmed by the honor.

The people in the audience looked at him with envy.

After the dean of the Academy of Fine Arts received the news, he simply reported it to the top management, and this was exactly the effect he wanted.

After waiting for the applause to stop, the dean read out the names of three teachers. They were from different majors and still won warm applause.

The students in the audience were becoming more and more nervous. The fewer spots were left, the slimmer their hopes became.

The fifth finalist is a graduate student majoring in oil painting.

When everyone heard this, they looked forward to the last name.

The dean paused for a moment, looked at the information, and read out, "The sixth person selected is Jiang Zhe, a sophomore from the oil painting major."

Really loud.

Many people were stunned for a moment, and several teachers from the Oil Painting Department were the first to start applauding, and the applause rang out quickly.

When Jiang Zhe heard his name, he was in a trance for a moment. While he was excited, he reminded himself to stay calm, stay calm, and never behave too out of control.

Even though I tried hard to control myself, my heartbeat was still speeding up.

Facing the gazes of many people, he stood up, and, imitating the examples of several teachers, bowed to the people on and off the stage, and then returned to his seat.

“Let us congratulate the teachers and students who have been shortlisted.”

applause……

“Thank you to the teachers who have worked so hard!”

applause……

“The competition is not over yet. I wish the teachers and students who have made it to the finals better results. For those who have not made it to the finals, keep up the good work!”

applause……

After the dean finished his speech, he looked at everyone else, made sure no one had anything to add, and returned the microphone to the host.

After thanking the host, he announced the end of the seminar. "The teachers and students who have been shortlisted please stay for now, and the rest of you can leave." As the host's voice fell, the audience stood up and left.

As they walked, they discussed the news of the competition finalists.

People who knew Jiang Zhe expressed their congratulations. Several classmates even came over to congratulate him.

Many people were confused or jealous when they heard that Jiang Zhe's work was shortlisted, but after seeing the other shortlisted people, they gradually felt relieved.

Six people were shortlisted, four of them were teachers and one was a postgraduate student. This was the normal situation. Jiang Zhe's being shortlisted was just a special case, so I couldn't be jealous.

Chen Yan was also at the scene, waving to Jiang Zhe from a distance.

Jiang Zhe walked over. "I'll wait here for a while."

"I'll wait for you outside." When Chen Yan heard that Jiang Zhe had won the honor, especially when she heard many people talking about Jiang Zhe, her doubts had turned into recognition. While she was happy, she also had a feeling of personal participation.

Jiang Zhe also felt the change in people's attitude.

Although the works they questioned were different from the shortlisted works, the change brought about by this news was still very obvious. People would not look into the difference.

The six people whose works were shortlisted began to take photos with many senior executives.

After the group photo, the dean shook hands with the six people one by one and encouraged them one by one.

Jiang Zhe stood in sixth place. "Congratulations. You are already bringing honor to the school as a sophomore. Keep up the good work."

"Thank you, Dean."

During the handshake process, there were people specifically responsible for publicity who took photos.

The ceremony ended and the senior executives left together.

Several people from the Conservatory of Music accompanied the Dean and left. They heard that the Dean had been praised by teachers and students from the Academy of Fine Arts several times, but he was very tactful and did not mention Jiang Zhe's paintings.

The dean of the music conservatory was thinking about how he could take back the limelight that originally belonged to his own conservatory.

At the entrance of the art museum, before Jiang Zhe said goodbye to Teacher Hu, he whispered, "Teacher, this is just a finalist, not a winner yet, is it necessary to promote it so loudly?"

Teacher Hu glanced at him and said, "You are a little proud. Being shortlisted is good enough. Have you really never thought about winning the award?"

Understood.

When Jiang Zhe left the museum, he thanked the many teachers of the oil painting department one by one. They always stood by him.

Chen Yan had been waiting for Jiang Zhe. When she saw him coming over, she smiled and said, "Congratulations." She put her arms around Jiang Zhe's and asked, "How do you want to celebrate?"

"Let's go celebrate."

"Okay." Chen Yan took Jiang Zhe's arm and walked towards the parking lot. She held his forearm tightly with one hand and put the other hand into Jiang Zhe's sleeve.

"Hey, be careful, this is on campus."

Jiang Zhe objected several times, but it was of no use.

……

"What? A painting like his can be shortlisted for an international competition?"

In the training room of the music academy, a dozen students are chatting during their break.

Among these people, there are several prototypes of Jiang Zhe's works.

Although they did not attend the seminar, news of what happened there spread quickly.

The messenger explained: "It's not the training room that was shortlisted, it's his work in the portrait competition that was shortlisted."

"So what if he was shortlisted? His painting is really not good."

"Yeah, my girlfriend has been laughing at me for days."

Several prototypes were still unhappy.

"It's useless." Another person said, "I heard that Teacher Lu and the dean congratulated Jiang Zhe and praised his good painting."

“Maybe, we really don’t understand?”

"Be content, you all have positive images after all. I clearly participated in the training, but after watching for a long time, no one drew me at all. I think it's unfair to me." Someone complained.

I was originally dissatisfied with Jiang Zhe, but after hearing someone compare him like this, I felt that I was not that miserable. Thinking of this, I felt balanced.

"Who do you think that person who was picking his nose and the one who was distracted are? I don't think they look like anyone," someone asked.

"Well, maybe it's fiction."

"No, I think that man's nose looks a bit like yours."

"Like you. That's you!"

……

Jiang Zhe returned to his studio and turned on the system.

I saw a lot of tips on increasing honor points.

Among them, there is also a special tip.

You will gain a lot of honor points and receive special tips in special opportunities.

Jiang Zhe clicked on the prompt.

The system lists the methods and ways to use the painting of the training room to increase popularity.

He believed in the arrangement of the system, so he quickly recorded it. Unexpectedly, this painting could bring him subsequent gains.
