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

Chapter 364, End of month settlement, difficult challenge tasks
Jiang Zhe took two newspapers and went home to have dinner with his parents.

Jiang Yi and his wife were very happy to see the reports in the two newspapers. In their minds, reports in newspapers, especially those in regular publications, are special honors and affirmations, even better than winning awards abroad.

After dinner, the two of them couldn't put down the newspaper and then exchanged it.

Jiang Zhe cleaned up the kitchen, played with Xiao Ka for a while, and then prepared to go back to the studio.

"Mom and Dad, leave the newspaper here. Take your time reading it. I'm going back to the studio."

"Be careful when you go back," Jiang Yi and his wife reminded.

Jiang Zhe returned to the studio and called Sister Liao first.

"Jiang Zhe, have you seen the newspaper?"

Jiang Zhe replied: "I saw it, and I saw another one."

Sister Liao said: "I also saw the information in that newspaper.

I asked someone. The reporter of the Cultural Newspaper got the news from the Binhai Newspaper. He has been looking for cultural news recently, but many of the materials are old news without hot topics. Therefore, he wanted to use the auction of your works in the United States as material to publish it.

It now seems that the effect is quite good and the response is positive, so there should be nothing wrong with this report.

As for the other one, there is no definite news yet, but according to the information I have, that person got the news from the Cultural Newspaper, and he might want to help others to promote it.

I don’t know now which of the other three people he wants to help.”

Jiang Zhe thought to himself that his judgment was indeed correct.

"What do I need to do?"

Sister Liao said: "I will help you keep an eye on this matter. It is not that easy to bind the publicity. This kind of publicity is only temporary and may have a certain impact, but if there is no other follow-up, it will soon be forgotten.

Just keep developing yourself and don’t worry about the rest.”

"I see. Thank you, Sister Liao."

The two ended their call, and Jiang Zhe was just about to start creating when his phone rang again.

He took a look and found that it was He Chi's number.

Since they parted in the provincial capital, the two have kept in touch by phone.

Jiang Zhe pressed the answer button and heard He Chi's voice: "Jiang Zhe, I'm calling you now. I hope I don't disturb you, right?"

Jiang Zhe said: "I'm fine, how are you doing recently?"

He Chi said: "I saw your news in the newspaper. Congratulations first!"

Although there was competition when the works were being collected by the art museum, the two of them got along pretty well afterwards.

During the greetings, Jiang Zhe could hear that He Chi was a little envious, and he asked in a roundabout way how to arrange the publicity.

Jiang Zhe had no choice but to tell the other party that it was a promotion arranged by the school.

He Chi suddenly realized.

The two chatted for a while and ended the call.

Jiang Zhe turned his phone to vibrate mode to avoid being disturbed again.

He began to think about creating his second painting, which would depict the campus at dusk.

This landscape painting uses the road in front of the cafeteria as the main scene, and the many characters are just embellishments.

On the right side of the picture, there are buildings, and to the left of center is a wide road and a fork in the road, as well as bushes, trees, a teaching building in the distance, and the sky.

He drew several drafts and finally chose the main color, which was the sunset clouds at dusk. To create a more atmospheric painting, he also painted the road surface a little wet so that the lights could be reflected.

According to the idea, various beautiful elements are combined together, adding delicate brushstrokes and warm colors to form a romantic picture, expressing the tranquility and romance of the campus.

Because he had considered it carefully, he successfully completed the creation by Sunday afternoon.

The system gave it a high-quality evaluation. When he was packing up his tools, he received a call from Professor Qin.

"Jiang Zhe, I saw your information in the provincial newspaper." Professor Qin got straight to the point: "Did you arrange publicity?"

Jiang Zhezhe said, "Teacher, I was not the one who contacted this matter." He told Professor Qin what he knew.

"Oh, so that's how it is. This is a good thing. The other party will help you promote it. This is an opportunity that many people want to fight for."

Jiang Zhe heard that Professor Qin wanted to end the call, so he said, "Teacher, I just finished a landscape painting. Can you help me find the problem?"

"Okay, come here."

Jiang Zhe carefully moved the work into the car, drove to the school, and then moved the painting to Professor Qin's home.

Professor Qin asked Jiang Zhe to put the work on the easel: "This painting is quite large."

Jiang Zhe said: "90×120 centimeters."

Professor Qin sat down and looked at it carefully.

The first feeling I get when seeing this landscape painting at dusk is one of delicacy and softness.

The sky at the highest point of the picture is a warm gray-green, gradually transitioning to gold near the clouds, and then to the horizon. The scenery on both sides of the road is bathed in the sunset glow.

Most of the original inherent colors have become the colors of the sunset and the environment. All the objects are in a hazy state. The soft colors, delicate brushstrokes, and transitions show a pure beauty.

The lights that had just been turned on were reflected on the wet road nearby, and several windows of the building on the right were shining with orange-red or orange-yellow light, which was a relatively bright color in the picture.

There are few heavy colors in the picture, but it can show the hazy scene at dusk. There are more than a dozen people on the road, with different postures, walking to different destinations. The color of the characters does not change much, and the specific appearance cannot be seen clearly, but it is very coordinated with the color of the picture.

Professor Qin commented as he looked at it: "Judging from the overall picture, there is no big problem. Compared with your previous paintings, there are changes. These soft dusks are a bit like the works of Kuinzhi and Grimshaw, but the shaping method and color tone have our oriental charm.

Watching this painting can make people calm down and feel the beauty of dusk. Not bad, you can try to develop in this direction. "Jiang Zhe said: "With your affirmation, I can hand in the homework with confidence."

Professor Qin said, "Today, the leaders of the college saw your promotion in the newspaper and thought you had a way, so they asked me to ask you. Since you don't know how to do it, I will help you reply."

"Thank you, teacher. If you have no other instructions, I will move the painting to the studio."

"Okay, go ahead."

Jiang Zhe took his work to the class's studio.

At this time, several students are still studying hard.

Most of the students are preparing to submit two works.

When they saw Jiang Zhe bringing out his new work, they all came over to watch.

A classmate suggested: "Jiang Zhe, these two paintings of yours can be called the Night Scene Series, right?"

Someone said: "No, the styles of these two works are different."

"I think landscape paintings are more beautiful."

Jiang Zhe was not in a hurry to go back and chatted with a few classmates here.

At this time, in the training room that I had been to before, several students were passing around newspapers.

"Has the news of the auction of Jiang Zhe's works spread to the provincial capital?"

"It seems to be true. Is the amount of money mentioned here accurate?" After the news spread, many people were skeptical about the auction price. After all, not everyone would verify it.

"It should be accurate. That's more than 60."

“It should include all kinds of expenses.”

"That's a lot. I make about 50 yuan for a performance when I go out." A classmate's comment caused people around him to sigh.

Although children who learn music are not financially poor, they also do not have unlimited pocket money.

Many students have already started working part-time outside to earn money, so they know that money is hard to earn and that nothing is hard to eat.

From a few hundred yuan, a few thousand yuan, to hundreds of thousands, what a huge gap there is.

"Why can't I see the painting clearly?" Someone stared at the picture, trying to distinguish it carefully.

A classmate next to him joked: "Didn't you say that they were vilifying you at the time? Why are you complaining about it now?"

"I didn't quite understand it at the time, but now I understand. The printing is so bad."

……

At night, Jiang Zhe washed up early, but did not rush to rest.

He first opened the system and saw the cursor on the honor experience bar move forward a little. Today he received several calls from the mall. They all saw the newspaper and expressed congratulations.

These things could no longer cause any waves in his heart.

There is another important thing today, the month-end settlement.

This is the first settlement after the honor level was upgraded. He wants to see what is different about the settlement after the upgrade.
Jiang Zhe was looking through the painting materials collected by the system while waiting.

It was not until midnight that the system prompted that settlement could begin.

Jiang Zhe cheered up and clicked the checkout button.

The system quickly gives the settlement information:

After calculation, your learning accumulation this month has reached the excellent level. You can get the reward fund of 16 yuan.

You can choose to receive rewards or accumulate rewards.

Jiang Zhe was not in a hurry to make a choice.

He compared the calculated results of this month's learning accumulation with the results of the previous few months and found that the accumulated points of learning were almost the same, but the funds obtained this month increased by nearly one-fold.

Note that after the honor level is upgraded, the reward funds have been increased under the same accumulation.

If we raise it to another level, it might be higher.

While he was thinking, the system gave a new prompt.

If you complete more than three high-quality works this month, a challenge task will be triggered.

Task requirements: Please create a masterpiece of world-class quality before you graduate from college.

If the task is successful, rewards will be given according to the calculation results; if the challenge fails, there will be no penalty.

Jiang Zhe understood the challenge and began to consider it.

I have experience in creating masterpieces, but I am not sure if I can create higher-quality works that can be passed down from generation to generation.

In addition to skills and ideas, the creation of works that will be passed down from generation to generation also requires the stimulation of external conditions or accidental factors. It is impossible to rely solely on accumulation.

However, if you think about it, if there is no difficulty at all, it is not a challenging task. Many painters completed their masterpieces in their twenties.

Thinking of this, he decided to accept the challenge. He still had two and a half years to graduate from college, so he tried his best to complete it.

Now, I have two challenges: one is to upgrade my sketching skills, and the other is to complete a masterpiece.

Jiang Zhe then chose to accumulate this month's rewards for future use.
